  Speaker 1: And welcome back to the show first of all thank
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you we just had a fun little uh pre-show talk
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: here we're gonna talk some of the stuff we were
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: just talking about but um we'll lead right in with
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the turkey trot um this is overall year six six
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: okay so i missed the first two uh we were
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: just talking i went to four years ago now i
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: went to the first one but i just stopped by
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to say hi and i think i bought some raffle
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: tickets or something And walked out with a beer.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Then the second year was the rainbow, we call it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: It was the joy.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: We had laser tag, we had the rum runners, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we had mud.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But you know what, though? You guys made it work,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: because you had the big tent out there. I remember
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: standing and huddling under the tent. And the heaters. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the heaters, yeah. Thank God the neighbors have heaters. The
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: end of November, you never know where you're going to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: get here in Connecticut. I mean, if it's like this
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: weather today, or this last couple days, oh my God.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful out. It's a perfect testament to Milford, though.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The neighbors came together. Anyone who had a 10x10 brought it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Anyone who had a space heater brought it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I hated it, but loved it. Then last year, we
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: switched venues.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You switched venues. We were down behind the library, which
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: was fantastic. but you just brought me some bad news
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that we're going to be back up by the natatorium,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: which is fine, but this is probably the last year
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that you'll be permanently, because they're doing construction down there.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You're going to get kicked out, let's say.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Once that road is done and it's all pretty and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we've got that, we call it the greenway or whatever
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: by the water, we'll be down there forever. And we
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: had the permit there. It was supposed to be there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: The construction timing changed. So nothing we could do.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We'll make it work. Oh, you know what?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I was down there, but I didn't notice it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I was down there for the Irish Fest or Oktoberfest
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: or something. One of them was in the monsoon. You
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: call it Nor'easter up here. One of them was in
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that Nor'easter. Yeah, that was the Saturday night. We went
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the Friday night before, or vice versa. One of them. Yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have gone if it wasn't fucking monsoon. We're like, yeah,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we'll just stay in. I'm getting old, Thor.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I was under 50 when we first started talking. I'm
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: getting old. I'm trying to do sports and things, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm getting all beat up now.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It sucks.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You're not doing sports. You're just bringing your kids to sports.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I started men's basketball. Oh, you're in the men's league? Yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I was doing pickleball for a while, and I excelled
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: at my pickleball, so the group invited me to go
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: play basketball with them now that it's winter sports. Went
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: one week, almost broke a rib.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I got, you know, C6 and 7 and my neck
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: are all fucked up. I got bone spurs in my feet.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I got a shoulder from bartending for 30 years that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: fucked up. But it never affects me golfing, though. No,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. It's weird. Like, the only time I feel, like,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: sore after golf is, like, when I haven't golfed in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a while. And you just, there's muscles you use.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That, you know, twisting, turning. It's just totally different.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But it never affected my rotation on my swing
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and I never, even my feet are fine. I mean,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I got the insoles and all that Dr. Scholl shit, but.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I find that some of my best golf rounds are
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: when I'm slightly injured or immobilized because there's no.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Grip and rip. Right. Yeah, and you don't think about
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it as much.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Use the technology. You're spending so much money on those clubs.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You just got to use them.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You know, we were just talking in the show. I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: was kind of fed up with this year and had
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a good round my last round and kind of, all right,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'll be back.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But honestly, I really think I need at least a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: new driver because.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: They die after a while. Like, they just lose their oomph.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And I got this driver got to be 10 years ago.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And it just sounds different when I hit it now. Like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: if I crank one, it's going 250. I used to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: be able to hit 3, 310. Not all the time.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But if I really connected, it was going 300 yards.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Now it's like I pound it. I mean, I'm not
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a couple years older, but you know what I mean?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It's not that much of a difference. It's not that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: much of a difference. And that's with the new driver? Yeah.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. I'm saying I think I'm going to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: get a new driver.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, got it. Probably like a last year's model and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: save like $ 300. But I want a brand new one
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this year to start. And I don't know. It's just weird.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I just feel like my clubs, I don't know if
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I've just had them too long.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It's a good excuse, though, right? It's a great excuse.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not hitting it like I used to.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I actually bought irons when I was the caddy master
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: at a country club in Minnesota back in high school.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And I've been using those my entire life up until...
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And the last tournament, which was Tuesday of last week,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: where my buddy from the same country club in Minnesota
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: went and bought me new irons because it was embarrassing
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: that I was still using 20-something-year-old irons.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And he goes, here, take them. I could probably still
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: use the irons. They don't go bad. They don't go bad.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: They're not hollow. I mean, these drivers are hollow.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: The new ones are really nice.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I know. So my irons are actually older than my drivers,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and my irons are probably 13 years old. But it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: an investment.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You can look at the club face and be like, oh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I hit that off the toe. Oh, I hit that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: off the heel. But it still goes exactly where I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: want because of the technology. I'm telling you. It's incredible.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: All right. You just convinced me.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: They're not blades. They're not player irons. They're game improvement irons.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I have no shame.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I remember my buddy used to work for Callaway. This
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: guy's name is Josh.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: He was from Milford. He since retired and moved to Florida.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: But he was a rep for them. When I was
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: in the market to buy Callaways, actually, I was in
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the market to buy new clubs. And me and my
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: friends were out in Hawaii. And we rented clubs, whatever
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: course we were at in Hawaii. That's dangerous. And they
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: gave me Diablos, which were Callaways. And I hit the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: irons really well. So, of course, I come home.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And he literally said to me, he goes, I've golfed
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Okay? I'm telling you, you probably just liked them that day.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He goes, get the OSs. You can't miss with the OSs.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, what are those? Oversized.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: He goes, they're not legitimate for fucking PGA Tour. But
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I'll get you a set.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But we're not PGA Tour. He goes, I'll get you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a set of OSs. You will never miss the ball.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You're not going to hit it straight every time. But
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you're also not going to miss the ball. I was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: too fucking stubborn. And I got the Diablos. Actually, I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: gave those to Braden. Braden has those now. So I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: take him golf, and he's got them. And then I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: end up buying an OS. What do I got? Top
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: flights or something? I don't know. But I think it's time.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It's time. It's time, classy.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was a friend or a
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: golfer or something on TV, but someone said the difference
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: between an average amateur and a pro. Isn't that you
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: can hit a 310 down the middle or that you're
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: sitting pretty. It's that second shot.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: A pro is always going to hit it on the green.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Whereas you or I or 90% of the other guys,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we can easily duff that, shank that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's why long drive competitions, you don't see those
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: guys playing on tour. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And the putting
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and everything else that goes into it. Like they know exactly,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you know. I have a range in my head of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: about 15 yards, right? From my sand wedge to my
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: pitching wedge, my 9-iron all the way down, I go
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: about 15-yard increments. Until I get to about my 6-iron,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't hit a 5-iron 170. So now
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to the rescues and all that. But there's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: just some shots. I mean, you've been to golf tournaments before,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: like PGA tournaments. Yeah. Have you seen these guys play?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Hazeltine, Minnesota, all the time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I used to go to TPC Sawgrass in Florida.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We go up to the Hartford one. It's just amazing
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to see how these guys fucking just... It's a different caliber.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was at a TPC... What's the first? The
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Waste Management Tour in Phoenix. Yeah. The drunk one.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The one where everyone's throwing beers constantly. Don't make your
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: putt on whatever green that is.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Because you're going to be soaked. Me and my buddy
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: flew out there, and we had a friend that was...
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: He worked at Yale, and he was a barback on
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the 16th. It's the 16th, right? It's a par three.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They all surround it. And he was
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a barback, and he got us in, and we were
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: on the top level. And we ended up meeting people...
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It's crazy from New Haven mass mutual. And they've been,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: they were at Stonebridge a week prior. We are, you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: we never know who you're going to run into. World's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: not that big.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So we took a walk and we were walking back.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I think 15, it was like 14 green, 15 T.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: We kind of walked up and, uh, the heck's the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: guy's name. He's the one, he's like the Indian guy
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: with like a fucking million kids. Sing. No, no, no.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Uh, not that old. Uh, Anyway, he hits his ball.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Shit, I'm old. Yeah. He hits his ball. Singh's old.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: He's got to be 60. He hits his ball, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it lands. We're standing right there. It lands on a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: sprinkler head in the rough. So he walks up to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the ball, and the guy comes over, the rules guy,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and says, you get a free drop.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: He goes, no, I like this lie. And we're all
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: standing there like, what? He was like 230 out.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It's on a tee.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He smoked it off the fucking sprinkler.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It was on a tee. Like 10 feet from the pin.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Like everyone was going crazy.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Like these guys are just, they used to have that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: ad campaign.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Like these guys are good.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They really are.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's, it's, it's up. And they're like, you
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: see these guys hit it so fucking hard and far.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And they're like, they probably can't betch 170.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: No, but it's a different muscle. It's different.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: It's torque.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The taller guys can hit it farther.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: And it's tempo, and it's smooth, and more than anything,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: it's consistency.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And they have the best equipment, too.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: The difference of hitting on their clubs, the difference of
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: hitting the ball by a couple pins, right or left
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: or up or down, means the ball is going to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: do something completely different.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Whereas, as I was saying earlier, I bought clubs specifically
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: so that I can hit it on the toe. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: can hit it on the heel.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: It's still gonna work and it's gonna correct itself and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: go where i want generally in the same direction.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: You gotta tell you gotta email me or text me
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: what kind of clubs you have it is the most
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: forgiving i had what brand is it it's ping g440s
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: ping g440s they are great you can go higher and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: you can get like a 740 or something like that
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: oh yeah but they just look They just look like
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: everything's a hybrid iron.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Mine has a little bubble in the back? Yeah. Okay.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: That's the sevens. Yes.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So the fours is like one step down from the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: most extreme of helping.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Got you. And I love it. And it's great.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I played exactly one scramble so far with these. And
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it was kind of comical for me. I think my
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: team was pretty annoyed because almost every shot I said, hey, guys,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: this is the first time I've ever swung this club.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And it went pretty well.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: There were a couple shots where I was 15, 20
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: yards too long. But that's just because of the technology.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: That's where the driving range comes in. And you figure
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: out your distances. But you figure it out. I was
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: a caddy for 10 plus years. I can club myself
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: after a few swings.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, pretty excited. So you know, too,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: like when you hit a shot and you're like, you
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: just hit it so pure and you're like, fuck, this
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: is going way over. Yeah. Oh, I wasn't supposed to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: hit it that good. Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: And then sometimes it's funny because it'll bite me in
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the ass. On my old clubs, I'd be like, oh.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I bladed the shit out of that. And everyone's sitting
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: there like, looks pretty good to us. Yeah. And like.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: It doesn't go as far as I think it's going to.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Number one, I'm older. Number two, the clubs are old
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: as shit. Like all this stuff. So it ends up
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: right next to the cup. And I was like, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: probably should have just kept my mouth shut. Yeah. Sorry, guys.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I had a friend who was a pro at Grassy
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Hill years ago, 20-something years ago. And he went out
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: with us one day. It's kind of like a free lesson,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but let us go out. Yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And it was him, his wife, me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: He's giving you tips along the way.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: He's giving us tips along the way.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I love that. We're on that really long par five
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: coming back towards the street. 16, I think it is.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I felt I duffed a drive, but I ended up
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: hitting it like 230, 240.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: With the creek in the middle.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at the end.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 16. And he turns to me and he goes,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you know you're getting good when you fucking hit one
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: 240 and you're mad at yourself.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Now, meanwhile, this guy steps up and hits it fucking.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: 40 yards past me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go, yeah, no.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: It's just, you know when you hit it. You know
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: when you feel like you hit it good.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: It's pure. Yeah, and I don't even, sometimes I don't
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: even care where it goes. I'm just like, I'm just
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: glad I made really good contact with it. But that's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: true of so many sports. I used to get that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in baseball, you know, 25 years ago. Right.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Golf, I mean, anytime there's metal hitting an object and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you hit it pure, it's such a sensation of euphoria
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: and It's so great. It's the same thing when you
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: hit a home run in baseball. We were talking about baseball.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: You see these guys hit the ball, and they have
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: wood bats, or were younger using metal bats. You hit it,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: it's barely past the pitcher, and they're already doing the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: bat toss because they know.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: They felt it, and it's just such a great feeling.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Funny, you had that. I was a caddy master at
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: this course in Minnesota, and the pro was a guy
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: named Dick Walters, and he was so embarrassed with how
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: bad I was at golf. That between when the morning
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: crews would all go out and all the caddies were
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: out and the golfers and there's like an hour, an
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: hour and a half dead time.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: And when they start coming back and new people could
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: go out because the course is full, we'd go up
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: on the range and we'd just hit. And we'd grab
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: clubs off the demo rack and hit. And he'd come
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: up and he would tweak and move and twist and bend.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: And I was down in single digits in high school
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and early college.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome. Then you stop playing. Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a 15 now because I had a great round.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm a 25. I should be an 18, 19. Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: were you like a four caddy or you were a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: personal caddy uh i've done both four caddy was very
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: rare so at this course it was i.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Was the caddy master at the end of the game
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: okay but i started out as a measly little b
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: caddy then you get a caddy then an honor caddy
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and you carry one bag or you carry two bags
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and you're carrying the bags it's old school yeah and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you put the bag down and you say sir it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: you know so many yards i'd recommend you use your
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: seven iron so i need my eight iron like Sir,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I've seen you play four holes. You should really use
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: your seven iron.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: He hits the eight iron.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: He's 10 yards short. He's like, okay, I'll listen to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you next time. It's funny what people think. If you
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: know the course, I can walk up to a putt
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: on holes at that course and say, hey, you need
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to go three inches right and four inches past it
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: or 18 inches past it. On 18, it was this
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: crazy bowl. You'd have to aim 12 feet right and
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: 16 feet past it And it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Would still roll down. Right.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: It was crazy. But you know that after you walk
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the course 10,000 times.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a couple courses around here. I know exactly
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: where to hit it. Doesn't mean I hit it there,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: but I know where I want to go. But these
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: guys are playing two, three times a week. I was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: with one last golf story. We'll get back to Turkey. Oh, yeah.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I'm in. It's called Carnegie Abbey. It's in Newport, Rhode Island.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And we had a trip going out there for the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: United States. Well, it was a trip for a liquor distributor.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: And they invited me and another kid from Stonebridge. And
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: we played golf at this place. It was beautiful. The
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: last hole was like Pebble Beach's hole. Waves crashing on
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the water. It just went the other way instead of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: this way. Anyway, we're at some random hole.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: We had a four caddy. So he had... Those are
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the best.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: He had two bags.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: One on his shoulder and then the other one, whatever.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: We're on the green. And we're about to putt. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I just hear this humming sound. All of a sudden,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the caddy goes, Get down! Get down!
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: We're like, what?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: He's like, get down.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: So we just fucking got down.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: On the green. On the green. A fucking black cloud
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of bees flew over our head. Biggest swarm of bees
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. And he's like, you
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: guys good?
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And this is a good course? This is Carnegie Abbey.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: It's probably fucking $ 500 a play if.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: It's not private.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: So fucking, boom.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: We get up.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: We're like, what the fuck was that? He's like, oh,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: that's just bees. It happens a lot.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: But you guys can't be standing when they come by.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that's, you know, you go to Florida, they
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: like watch out for the alligator, you know.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Like here we're watching out for fucking, I mean, it's like,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: it's like it got dark out. That's how big the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: swarm was. I couldn't believe it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, way before fucking cell phone videos and shit.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: We just went down and told the story that we
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: survived it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: That's awful.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: That's awful.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure when it happened, it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Was like 12 bees. And now it's the locust. I'm
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: telling you.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: From biblical times.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I'm going to Google it later and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: just be like, it's a problem.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: You should have.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Seen that walleye I caught 25 years ago.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: We played well, too, that day. That hole, so the 18th,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that's like Pebble Beach, but goes the other way. Yeah.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Best shot of the day I had there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I usually slice everything, so I'm like, I'm going in
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the fucking water. I'm just going to slice it right
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: into the water.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Get a little drop.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I actually fucking drew it back, hit it about 270,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: landed right in the middle of the fairway. We used
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: our drive. I'm like, all right, I'm done. Nice. I'm done.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Let's go drink. Yeah. Where's the 19? We were bar
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: hopping in Newport all night. Had a good time. That's fun.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: We were there for the U.S. Women's Open was there.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: If I could Google, I'll tell you what year it was.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: We only went that Wednesday for the practice round. These
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: girls are just as... I mean, we're talking about men before.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: These girls are unbelievable. Dude.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Texas, like, it's nuts how good they are. It's, again,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: like we were saying earlier before we started here, some
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of my best rounds are when I'm mildly injured.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Because I'm not trying to swing as hard as I can.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not swinging out of my shoes. I'm.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Actually focus on the mechanics. And if you hit the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: right part of that technology, that ball's.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Going to go a mile. But you never take that
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: with you when you're not injured. No, because I can
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: swing harder. Come on, I'm a man. I'm a man.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Aren't you a man? Speaking of sports, we've got Turkey
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Trot coming up on.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: What is the date this year?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: It's Thanksgiving. I want to say 26th, but don't quote
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: me on that. I think you're right around there.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows what Thanksgiving is.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: It's the 26th. It's the 26th. Yeah. So it's a
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: day earlier.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: That was the 22 years ago, 27th last year, 26
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: this year. So the quick, quick story in case someone
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't know. Let me give the story. I'm talking too
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: much anyway.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: No, I moved out.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Here in 2020 and I had previously done a turkey
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: trot in San Jose, California for the previous 12 years.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: And they have this, what is it? It's the Applied
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Materials Turkey Trot. And it's claimed to be the world's largest.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: And they have something like 40 or 60,000 people depending
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: on the year each year.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So it's unreal.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And it's great. And they raise millions and millions of dollars.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And I came out here and there was nothing. So
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I said, oh, I'll peer pressure some neighbors. I'll bring
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: free beer.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I'll go to the store.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I'll buy some beer.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Everyone gets a beer. We chug a beer. We run a.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Lap around the beautiful Gulf Beach lap right there, which
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: is just gorgeous and flat. And then we'll chug another
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: beer and we'll go do Thanksgiving because it's my first
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: year in town. I don't know what happens. And I
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: thought maybe 50 people. We ended up, I just pulled
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: it up right here. We ended up with 607 people.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: The first year. It escalated quickly.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I know you're way over that now. Yeah, yeah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And then we raised $ 8, 000.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: And that year, all the money went to the local
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: public schools. Then I realized this was a thing and
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: we got 850 in 2022, over 1400 in 2023, over
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: 1800 in 2024, over 1900 in 2025. And right now,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: because it changes constantly, it's crazy. We're, what, a month
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: out or something? We're 961 people are already registered.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: It's unreal. You're three weeks from tomorrow. Yeah.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: And normally, I get about 75% of my people in
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the last week.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Because everyone's saying, oh, what's the weather going to be like?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Oh, I forgot. It's not expensive. It's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: just the nature of people. I don't know. It's $ 20.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It's $ 20. If you're a kid, it's cheaper.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: And free beer.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Free beer.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Free laser tag.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Free laser tag.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Laser tag on the go. Gets a huge shout out.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: He heard about it once. and he showed up. And
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I said, I'll pay you. I'll do whatever. I was
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: going to pay him out of my pocket. And after
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the event, I was like, hey, you never sent me
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the invoice.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: He goes, no, Tor.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I'm doing this for free every year.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Just count us in. This is awesome. Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: And the robotics club shows up, so they have little
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: robots and teach people about that. The fencing club shows up,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: so teach people about fencing.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Fencing, yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all about just nonprofits and community involvement. Yeah,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: they were there. We talked about that. My mother was
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: a fencer in college.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the different aspects of Milford that
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: come in, and we were talking about two years ago
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: the Mudfest.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: That's a great example of what Milford is because we
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: needed more tents.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: People, random people showed up with their 10 by 10s
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: with whatever they had and just put up tents. They
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: showed up with their heaters.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Am I remembering wrong?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But like when we started the race, it kind of
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: stopped raining though. It was not raining when we started.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: We did a quick down to your street and back. Yeah.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I got there at about four in the morning and
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: it was dry and I was so excited because the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: rain was forecast.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: It was going to happen. It's dry.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Let's do this. We got everything set up. It started
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: to drizzle a little bit and I said, you know what?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to wear the rain jacket. I got
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to wear the turkey trot shirt because I love it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: And I pulled it off and by race time I
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: was soaked. But at race time, right at nine o'clock,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it was relatively dry.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Or not dry.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: It had stopped raining for a second. In the middle
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: of the set that the Rum Runners were doing, we
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: were just doused.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: That's when it was bad. We were doused. Yeah.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I think Laser Tag took all the tents from the
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: people that showed them up so that the kids could
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: still run around. Because James was so concerned his gear
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: was just going.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: To get drowned. And it's good gear. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: it's a great time.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: All the money goes to Milford Public Schools.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: To Purple Pantry, which is food insecurity here at Milford,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: and to Avery's Little Army, which is pediatric cancer.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: We had him on.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: You had, yeah. Paul and Lisa Lafferty really do a
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: great job with that organization.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: They do a lot of different events, but it's something.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That no parent or child should ever have to go through. No.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: They were part of CAF Penn, where my kids are at,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: when Avery was there. It's good organizations.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It's a good time. Yeah. And we have fun, right?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I know. I loved it because I would get a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: nice buzz. It's early in the morning, especially for me.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: So I got to work Wednesday night at Stonebridge, you know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: because it's the night before. Oh, excuse me. Thanksgiving.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That was a good one.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that. And so, you know, it comes a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: little quicker, but now I'm used to getting up early
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: with my other job. So no big deal now.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: And you're not up until three in the morning the
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: night before.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. I was just saying, I still am.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I worked at.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice. I pick, you know, I'm working this Saturday.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Picking up shifts.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just, you know, got to grind, baby. And so
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: basically when we work that Wednesday night, we have what's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: called a PLP.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: A PLP is a parking lot party. So after work.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: After the shift.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: After the shift, we go out to the parking lot.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Good Lord. And we have some shots and some beers.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Cause it's not really a late night. Milford has kind
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of gone away from the late night since COVID. Yes. Uh,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: my bar stays open late citrus sometimes, but Stonebridge, when
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we're done, we're done.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Even on the, even in the summer 10.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. So we go out there and then I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: go and see you guys, what? Eight in the morning,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: whatever time it is. And, uh, I see the, the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: coffee stout, like we were talking about before coffee Porter,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: whatever it is.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And, uh, I just had one of those. I'm like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm already feeling good.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Nevco is very generous every year.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: We go to Stonebridge now for dinner, but we do
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: it late, like 4 o'clock. So me and Nicole will
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: tie a little one on with just beers. We're not
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: ripping shots or anything. And then we'll go home and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: take a nap. Watch the 1 o'clock game. Nap before
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner. And then we go out to dinner.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Now it's become a tradition, a ritual, if you will.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It's great. And we love it. We love it. Brayden
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: said he's probably going to come this year because he
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a game. But he's 16 now, so he
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: probably has plans with his friends that morning to go.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: To foreign law or something. Well, they can still do it,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: make a game. But I got so many emails from
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: people over the years of saying, hey, this is our
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: new family tradition. Uh, our family from New Hampshire and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: New York and New Jersey are all joining us and
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: they're excited about the turkey trot.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: And it's just, it's so incredible because you don't know
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: about that until someone tells you.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: But I had one person register 29 people in one.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Like one group thing. Yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: And it was, I, I reached out to him, so
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I said, this is very odd.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: What went well? You sure? Right, yeah. Did the system break? Right, right, right.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And he goes, no, it's me, it's all my kids,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: my grandchildren, and we're all doing it because this is
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: such a fun time. Some people wear costumes. Some people
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: show up sober.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Some people don't. You know what I love?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: This is my favorite thing because I'm such not an athletic.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I consider myself, I'm athletic. I just don't do
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: it anymore anymore. Um, I love like the runners show
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: up to these things. Like they take it so fucking seriously,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: which is cool. I mean, that's their thing. They're runners
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: to cut off shirt. Oh yeah. And then they're in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: like all the gear. Yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: And they're like, they're waiting for you to shoot that
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: gun and start it. And they're like, they're out the door.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, Me and my friends are wheeling the
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: two kids.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: We're drinking beers down Gulf Street. It's great you mentioned
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that because there are people that are just like that
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: but now have kids. Yeah, yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: And they're like, I can be the first one through
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: with a stroller.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Or even better, the guy I was talking to two
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: nights ago, he's like, I'm going to win the turkey
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: trot with the double stroller. I'll be the first one
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: through with two kids and one stroller. And I was like, wait,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: this is a thing?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Right. They're serious, though. I know.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, I think I can get 25 minutes.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, 25 minutes? I couldn't do that. Runners
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: are a whole– I grew up on runners. My mother
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: dated the L track coach. He was a cross country
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and indoor-outdoor track. And I used to work the events
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: all the time. And, like, he was women, so it
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: was all the girls. But, like, I grew up on it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I never liked it. I could never stand running. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: just thought– I mean, when we had to run at football,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: it sucked.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I hated it. It's just tedious for me. And it shows,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But, no, but, like, seriously, like, it's a.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: The camera now shows an eight pack.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: It's a, yeah. It's a cult. It really... I think
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: running is like a cult. It's a runner's high.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: People do it for the runner's high. Yeah. I'm like,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I'll gladly get out of your way, bro. You go
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: win this thing, man. God bless you. So.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: And that's not making fun of this event.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I grew up on it. I know
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: how they are.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: They take it way.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they... I don't want to say
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they take it too seriously, because whatever. No, but it's
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: what they're into.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many cards I collect. They probably
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: take this too seriously.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: So we all have our.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Things we like to.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Do in life. It's a vice for them. Yeah. I agree. Again,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of them.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I see them. I'm like, I can point them out
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: right away. That's the runner right there. If I could
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: bet on it, I'm like, I'm going to bet.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: $ 10 on that guy. Yeah, yeah, right? Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: No, you're trading, by the way.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: You're not betting. That's how it's legal. Yeah, yeah. No,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: but my wife is very much in and around that
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: sphere of influence. Yeah.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: When I met her, she went out and she did
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: a full Ironman in Madison, Wisconsin.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: And I was like, what? You do this for how
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: many hours? You're doing what events?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Where's the beer? So I went and I watched.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Of course, I had a few beers and I was
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: hanging out. The adrenaline and the excitement of the whole event. Afterwards,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I told her once she was coherent again, because she
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: had just ran. She had just swam, bike and ran
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: for an insane amount of time. I told her, like,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I want to do one.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I want to do one. Let's go.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: She's like, no, no, no, let's start with something smaller. Like,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: let's do a half marathon.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: And then from there, we'll do a half Ironman. And
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: I ended up doing a couple half Ironmans.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: But I have to tell you, at no point in
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: any of those was there enjoyment. Right. None of it
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: was fun.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you feel accomplished, though, when you finish it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: The before was great.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The after was incredible.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: And people ask, what was the worst mile?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: And I said, the current mile. It didn't matter if
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I was 10 feet in or, what is it, 113
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: miles in or something like that. 56 miles is a half.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, all of it absolutely sucked. Absolutely sucked.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: But at the end, you feel so cool and so great. Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And you get that little medal. Yeah, I'm sure. And
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: you get that little shirt. If I could do a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: half anything, I would fucking feel accomplished. On that note,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I have to point out differences for this year. We're
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit ahead of schedule.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I have printed out and created on a Glowforge 2,100
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: finisher medals. They're not metal. They're wood.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Um, but last year's were a little rough cause it
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: was the first time I ever did it. I think
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I got about 1100 done.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: We had 2000 people. So not everyone got one, which
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I felt really bad about. We tried to prioritize the
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: kids this year. We have 2100. Uh, they're already ready
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: to go. Now, now finishers. Now it doesn't matter one,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: two or three miles.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: You're coming back. You're going out. You're coming back.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Everyone gets a medal.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: That's the world we live in.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: You get a, what is it? Uh, you get a Pontiac.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: You get a Pontiac.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Um, No, but they're already printed out and we're a
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: month ahead. So this is way different.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: We've learned a lot.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I definitely didn't get one last year.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Because I, I was like the first one in too.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Cause I just went, I just went down the street
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: and back up. Other than like the five guys in
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the running shorts and the bleeding nipples. Cause they went
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: so fast and all that. Look, I reserved them just
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: for kids because we had so many kids.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. Of course. Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: But this year everyone gets one.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Everyone's super pumped i'm pumped for that uh funny quick
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: story so cox cage is the indoor track facility at
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: yale that's a great name yeah right cox um i'm
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: just i don't know you went there i didn't uh
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I used to run the scoreboard there.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I had a little computer, and the results would come in.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I'd get a printout, and I'd put the results in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: on the thing, and I'd put them up on the board. So-so, St.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: John's winner, whatever. But we're raised up, and right down
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to my left is a trainer table. A lot of
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the Yale girls kind of hang out there. They stretch
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: before their races and stuff. Well, the event that was
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: going on was, I think, the 5,000-meter, the really long one.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Around and around and around. I don't know.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: The indoor track?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what? Maybe it was more like 3,500
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: because I don't think they do 5,000 inside. But is
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: it a 400-meter track? It's a 400-meter track. So, yeah.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: It was probably 3,500 might be the max for that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Anyway, they're just running.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: They're running. I'm kind of chilling because I don't have
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: to post any results for a while. I'm just kind
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: of paying attention. All of a sudden, she's over. I'm done. Yeah, no.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I just happened to look down, and the girl's getting
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: her ankle taped.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And I look over, and I see a girl hunched
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: over by her bag, and she has a Dixie cup.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: And she's pouring straight vodka into it. This is no lie.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: A runner. A runner. She's pouring, yeah, a Yale athlete.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: She's pouring straight vodka into it. I'm like, what the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: fuck is she doing? So now I see there's like
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the bell lap goes off. This fucking girl runs over
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to the fucking, the stripe, the finish line. And I'm
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: just watching her, and I see the girl coming around.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: It's a Yale girl that's winning it. She finishes the race. Yes.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: She fucking hands her the cup of vodka, and this
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: girl chugs it and immediately vomits all over the place.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Just played a prank on her.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I thought it was planned and the girl was excited. No, no, no.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: She fucked her over. That prank is even better.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: That prank is even better.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: So I asked Mark.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: His name was Mark Young at the time, my mom's boyfriend.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: And we all did.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Together in Madison. And I said, did that girl get
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: in trouble?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: He goes, I wanted to fucking discipline her so bad.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: But I've never seen it before. It was the funniest
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: thing ever. It's hilarious.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: They were all 21. They were like seniors.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: So it wasn't like, you know, but. I just didn't
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: know what was going on.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: And I was like you.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this girl's just going to rip
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a shot, thinking like, oh, we're all in on it?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: That girl wasn't in on it. Or the winner was
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: ready and wanted to celebrate a win with a shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, here,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: let's do a shot.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: That's unfortunate. That story took a turn.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Didn't it? Didn't it? A good one. Yeah. Dark, then happy.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I was like 16 at the time.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking down here. I'm like, what is she doing?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that you can recognize a bottle of vodka
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: at 16.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Well done. Well, I mean, you grew up with parents
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that booze in the house. So I lived with his daughter,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: and she was two years older than me. So when
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: she was a senior, I was a sophomore.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't really start drinking until I got to college, really.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: It's really not a scenario where you can use your
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: sibling's ID, is it?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. Well, plus it was a girl,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: so yeah. That was the whole point. Yeah, sure.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: This is how I identified it. So yeah, so you've
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: got options. You've got one, two, three miles. You can
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: walk really a foot if you want to. It's all
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: about just fucking coming.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: It's just having a good time. And the rum runners
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: are playing, and laser tag's there.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: We've got beer. There's a whole bunch of breweries right
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: now that are signing up and participating, which is super cool.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: So I will do my usual call to Viva. Oh,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: that would be phenomenal if we can.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: We were drinking Vivas last year.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Again, they're not around, so hopefully they can get a
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: hold of us.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: One of their salesmen.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Did we drop those off at your house last year?
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Did I get them and I bring them over?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: You got them into the driveway. No, I did.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you were home. You did. You did. You did.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: She was in town. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: She's always in town. She loves this event. I love Rita.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: But Counterweight has signed up.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: So that's super cool.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Of course, Nipco is. Do you know Larry? I do
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: not know.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: So my neighbor is the one who does all the beer.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: He's a great guy. Nice. So Larry used to be
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the salesman for Star, and he's been with Counterweight for
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: a while. Awesome guy.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: He actually got me tickets.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Another bad story. He got me tickets to the All-Star
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: game at Citi Field, whatever year it was. It happened
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to be Mariano Rivera's last All-Star game. Oh, good Lord.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: So it was 90,000 degrees, and we were way up there.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Don't care. We got into the game. Yeah, we were, yeah.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Well, it was nighttime, but it was still just humid.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: It was hot nights. And it was kind of towards
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the end of my relationship with my girlfriend at the time.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: And not that we argued all the time, but she
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: was getting real cranky. And I'm like, listen, you just
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: want to go.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: It's an all-star game. It's not like we're going to
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: witness history.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Or anything, right? She's like, yeah, all right. Do you mind?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, we'll just fucking go. We get in the car,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: turn on the radio. All you hear is Metallica. What
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: was the Mariano song? It was a Metallica song.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I'm a Minnesota Twins fan.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: People hate me for this.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: So Mariano comes out in the eighth inning because they
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: had a chance to not have to pitch in the ninth.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: So they wanted to make sure he got out for
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: his final fucking game, an all-star game.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: And we were there, and we left before it happened.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I couldn't even tell Larry. I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: how was it?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: It was great, Larry. Great.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Larry's a really good dude.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You missed that one. Enter Sandman.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Enter Sandman.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Is the song he came out to.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Is it really? Yeah. That's a good one. Well, it was.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Also, Billy Wagner came out to that, too, because he
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: used to be a Met.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I remember that. Twins, though, huh? All right.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: How about your Vikings, though? The Vikings were great until
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Detroit rolled in. Well, I mean, it was a weird game.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: It was awkward.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: You're going to have to win every game defensively, really,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I think. With, yeah. You have two good wide receivers, but.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Addison is great at running straight.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: He can go deep.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: And the only reason he can go deep is because
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Jefferson turns in. He's doing the crosser.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: So when people are excited about Jefferson, but he needs
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: to get hot early if Addison needs to have a chance.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because otherwise it's hot.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We play each other in a couple weeks on
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: a Thursday night.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice. We should go out for that game. I'm in.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Or you come over, I'll come over to your house, whatever.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: So I love Milford. It's phenomenal.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: My neighbor throws Thursday night football parties in his pool house.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Every Thursday?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Every Thursday.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'll come to that. And based on what's happening,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: we'll get food. So when it was the Bears versus
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: whoever it was a couple weeks ago, I ordered from...
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: It's not Blue Belly, like Pot Belly. One of those
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: things where there were Chicago deep dish pizzas flown in
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: from Chicago, and we put them in the oven and
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: heated them up.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Like Luminati's?
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: No, it started with a G.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Or Pequod's or whatever?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: It started with a G.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say Gianotti's, but that's not right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: No.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Because you said the other one. But anyways, it was phenomenal.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: So we had six deep dish pies flown in. Thursday,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: December 10th.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: There you go. We're rocking it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: We're ready. But it's so fun. And where I was
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: going with this is that... We got my son a
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: slushie machine, a ninja slushie machine from Costco. And it
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: goes to Thursday Night Football every week.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: My son will run over from the house, grab his
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: little cup, fill one up.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's 10 years old. It's totally fine. And
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: he fills it up. And then he leaves, and he'll
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: grab one, and he'll come back if it's really good,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: because we always keep him non-alcoholic. And you add the
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: vodka on the side for you. And then we add
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: the rum, tequila, vodka, whatever the drink is for that day,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: but Those slushy machines are phenomenal.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: So if you're doing a Thursday night, or if you're
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: doing any football party, you need a slushy machine. Yeah,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Nicole bought one.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: The only thing is, like, she puts the alcohol right
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: in it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: That's different, though. Right.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Because you have to go way colder to freeze them.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Well, the problem is, like, you can only fill, like,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: three fucking, like, 16-ounce cups, and it's gone.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is 138-ounce.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? 140-ounce. This is the big one from Costco. Oh, oh,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: it's like the one you see at the North. That 7-Eleven,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that big kind of thing? It's like that deep. Yeah.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: But it's not the three times high like that one.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: So you can do maybe 10 drinks with this one.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice. I would recommend it. And it's cheap. It's
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: only $ 200.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she got hers. It was some Amazon deal. She
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: hasn't done it in a while. We had the, which
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: you didn't show up to, the Irish bar at our house.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I apologize. There was a baseball game that night.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: All right. I texted you. I know. It looked awesome. Well,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I told her, I said, I want you to, she's like, babe,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to be gone in three seconds. I've been
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: making them all day.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I said, all right, all right.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: So Halloween, I'm like, do like a witch's brew, margarita
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: or something. She's like, yeah, we got so many people
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: coming over and I want to, I want to hand
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: out candy.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I'm like, All right, so why the fuck did you
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: buy this?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Why'd you buy such a small one? Can we upgrade?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: No, I'm telling you, man, this Ninja, it's phenomenal.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think ours is a Ninja, but... I don't
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: care if it's a Ninja or not, but that's the
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: one that we have. No, no, I'm just trying to
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: remember what brand she bought that was on sale. It
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: was like $ 135. I should call it Kirkland. It's the Kirkland. Yeah,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the Kirkland, right? Everything's Kirkland. That's the thing about Costco.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I can go in, and I don't care what brand
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: it is or what product it is, if it made
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: it through their buyers.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan because I trust him. But again, I'm
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: too trusting. I want to throw my kid in a
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: driverless car now so I don't have to drive him
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: to sports.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a very trusting fellow. Why don't you just hire somebody?
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: You make all this money.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: On that note, someone stole our stinking Halloween basket, like
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: our thing of candy, second year in a row. Yeah,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I have two. No, I have the Google cameras. It's
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: 1080p from two angles. I can see the kid, and
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I can see his two friends on the street. But, like,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: why do people have to suck? Why can't people just
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: be good?
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Right? You know, it's funny. It's Tuesday afternoon.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Drive home from work and I'm pulling in my front yard.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Now I got all the, I got Fazio, Owen Weaver,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and Visconti yard signs out for, you.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Know, they dropped them off the house.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I had Owen Weaver on the podcast. And a turkey
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: trot sign. And a turkey trot sign. Of course.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Just checking.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: This is where the story's going. I got them all
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: for I get home and just yours is there. And
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, hold on. I see stories of like
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Democrats robbing Republican signs just to get, you know, make
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: sure the word doesn't get out.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want to make this show political at all.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: But I texted Owen Weaver and I'm like, hey, I'm
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: just making sure nothing shady is going on. But all
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: your signs are gone. But the turkey trot one that
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I that's mine.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: And he goes– he starts laughing.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, no, we grab them back and we
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: bring them out at the polling sites. So when you
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: go by the polling sites, which is right down the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: street from me, JFK, and they just put them all out.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I said, oh, that makes sense. It's a very true–
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: you can slide to the other side and see the
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: other angle. It's very true because the same thing happened–
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: was it? two years ago was a big election i
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: forget who was in it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Oh what a little fucking punk yeah he's watching the
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: video right now if you slide to the side you
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: see the other angle um but.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Just one if it goes to yeah uh and we
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: had signs everywhere turkey trot signs everywhere but we were
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: competing with all these political signs you were you were
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: bringing your kids around the neighborhood or yeah.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: This was this was early this was early.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: This was like nine no eight eight fifty It says $ 8.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: 50. Like, come on. Who just steals your basket of candy?
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: And of course it's good candy.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Because kids like good candy. Kids are kids.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's not a kid. That's a young
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: adult in that video. Yeah, that's a teenager. Yeah. So
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I do on Halloween?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Second year in a row.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm new to the neighborhood. I've been there two
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: years now. So last year I did the candy. We
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: set up out front. And I put out a sign.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know who Steven Crowder is,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: but He's the meme guy with, like, he's got the
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: mug and he's at a table and there's a sign
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: out front that says whatever.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: So my sign says, it says change my mind. So
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: my sign says Halloween is an adult holiday.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Change my mind. So I said, I'll do it again
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: this year. And you want the kids to convince you?
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: But this year I had all these fucking bags of
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: chips left over from the thing I had for the
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: rambling game.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I did a lot of food. Like,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I bought boxes of chips, little bags. It's a great
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: time to clear out your pantry. Yeah. Halloween is glorious.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I went to Total Wine. I bought 140 nips or
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: 130 nips. And I had the Halloween candy on the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: table with the Change My Mind sign. And then I
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: had a table off to the left. And I made
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: a sign that says, Chips and Nips for Adults Only.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: So I had a big bucket of chips.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: And then I had Jägermeister, Fireball, all this shit.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I mean... I was the first one to bed because
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: everyone that came up, I had to do a nip
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: with them. My girlfriend's just handing the candy out.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: I went to bed at like 8.30.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I was so fucking trashed. I hope so. Yeah. Like, jeez,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: that's like a century hour. Oh, man. So now that's
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: what I'm known for.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: So I got to do that every year in the neighborhood.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Chips and nips.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: So this year, it's kind of sad. We've been here
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: in Connecticut since 2020. This is the first year someone
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: in our house had to stay home and watch the
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: candy because... Every year it's been bad. And we, oh,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: that's attractive.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I'm coming over.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I'll try to make it before 8.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all your shit's going to get stolen at your house, though.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: But we had to switch off on someone staying there. And,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've got two. two kids and they're 10
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: and eight now as of yesterday.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Right. And they want to.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Be with different groups, which is fine. So we're dividing
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: conquer and do whatever. And now it's like, well, Hey,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: can you watch my kid?
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Can you watch my kid? Can we watch the house?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: And it's just unfortunate that that's even a problem because
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: when I was growing up, like that was unacceptable. If
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: you came home and dad found out that you had
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: more than one piece from a basket from the family
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: who couldn't be there, like, You were getting a good slapping.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I see it all over the internet. And now you're
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: saying you can go to jail for that. Oh, really? Well,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: you know your story earlier. You slapped your kid. Oh, yeah.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Not you. True.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Not me.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Not you. But it's unfortunate.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Halloween is amazing. It's one of my favorite holidays, and
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: it's so fun. I actually hate it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I hate it. Well, no, I can't say I hate Halloween.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I hate dressing up.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I just despise it.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: I love dressing up.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I despise it.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I have three Costco bins of costumes.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: But the fact that, like, I had so much fun
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I'm in a good neighborhood. We don't get a gazillion trick-or-treaters,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: but we probably got 60 to 80. That's not the point.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: That's huge. Now we're getting to know the neighbors, and
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: they're bringing their spiked apple cider over, and we're doing
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the nips and the chips and everything. We got pizzas.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: You go to the house with the jello shots. Yeah, yeah.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: You go to the house with the cider.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: You go to the house with the bourbon. Now they're
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: a lot friendlier this year because I did that rambling
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: in Irish bar, so they're all over there, and I'm
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: like the cat's meow with all the neighbors.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: You got to get your feet wet and get the invite.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Otherwise, you're just a random. So I don't know if
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: you've heard this. Do you have a rival?
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: For a turkey trot. Where? Tito's Vodka.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: They do something called a turkey rot.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: And Matt... I just saw this today. I get all
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: these Tito's fucking emails. I love Tito's.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: It says... Wait, let me... I used to love. I
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: used to love Tito's. Imagine waking up early on Thanksgiving
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: to run a turkey trot. Couldn't be us. Skip the
• 45:13

  Speaker 1: You do nothing. Tito's Donates. What assholes. Hold on. Inactive wear. Oh, shit.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: What happened? You swiped. Don't swipe right. Oh, shit. What
• 45:44

• 45:45
  Speaker 2: You swiped right.

• 46:12
  Speaker 2: I'm rethinking this tournament here.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: They just randomly sent me a bandana in the mail
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: the other day.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: You sign up, they send you shit.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: That is not going to affect you at all. Don't
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: you worry. Yeah.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: We donate our money locally. So we stay local.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No. I have a good friend that's actually his wife's.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: He works for Tito's. He's like pretty much New England's rep.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Been there since fucking. They came into the area. And
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: his wife's helping us out with some. She's a travel agent.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Helping us out with some trips to Germany. Like our
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: trip to Germany. Helping us out with like, you know.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Getting picked up at a hotel. Sounds super incredible.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we leave a week from today. I'm pumped.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: I'm pumped to hear about that, because I've lived in
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Germany on two different stints. Were you ever in Munich?
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. We'll talk after the show.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: But I was living in Cologne for a while, and
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I was living in Freiburg for a while. Both trips,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I spent a significant amount of time in Munich.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, come on. Yeah.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Octoberfest.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: So, did I do the right thing?
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: So, we booked a trip.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: To have a private driver pick us up at our hotel,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: take us to Austria, to Swarovski, Crystal. I guess the
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: ticket's included. We get to go in there and go
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: to their little village and all that shit. And then Innsbruck. Yep.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: That's all Austria, right? Mm-hmm. So we're going into Austria,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: and then it takes you to some scenic shit. Again,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I have never been there, so I'm not talking anything.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: And it takes us back, but it's a full, whole-day thing.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: It was like $ 250 a person.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: You'll love it.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: You'll love it. It'll be great. Now, you could have
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: done it for $ 70 a person.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: If we just took the train.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: But. Right.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I'm at the age. We like stress-free travel. I'm at
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: the age of convenience. I pay for convenience. I don't
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: give a fuck how much it costs. My last stint
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: in Germany, my wife's company flew her out there. And
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: it was a six-month. Work assignment.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Five months and 29 days.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Whatever. Yeah, yeah.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: And they said, hey, you're one of four people that's
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: invited on this. It's a great opportunity. She goes, great,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: but you have to bring my family. And they said, no, no, no.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: She said, okay, I'm out.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Two weeks later, they came back and said, okay, we'll
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: bring your family. She said, great, what are the details?
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Two weeks later, they came back. Okay, here it is.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: By then, it was too late to find anything. We
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: ended up doing, like, seven Airbnbs in six months. Our
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: kids got into an outdoor kindergarten, the definition of kindergarten,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: where it came from. No running water, no electricity. The
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: boys pee on the vertical stick. The girls back up
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: against the horizontal stick.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, jeez.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: And, like, if you need to go number two, it's
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: in the outhouse. But no pee in the outhouse. Like,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: it was intense, right?
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Loved it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: The whole time, I was like, hey, we have to

  Speaker 1: rated steakhouse. That's not where I eat. So, okay.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: That's Thursday, Friday night.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: It's kind of, we have a free day during the

  Speaker 1: So they're playing there Friday night. So we're going to
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: that concert. Saturday we're going. In Munich. In Munich.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Just random.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: That's not why we went.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: I went to so many concerts in Germany.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: It was amazing. Because they'll ask their backup dancers or whatever.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: They're like, how do I say something? And they'll do
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: some broken German. Yeah.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: And the crowd erupts.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: And they're like, what the fuck did you just say? Yeah.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, but Ramstein comes on stage. And then
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Saturday we go to Austria. And then Sunday is the
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Patriots game at like 2.30. And we're going to make
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: another nice dinner reservation. Obviously do all the fucking.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Dinner after the game?
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a 2.30 game. Yeah.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, when I say dinner, at that point
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: we're probably so drunk. Have you made one yet? Not
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: for that night, no.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: But then we're there Monday. We have zero plans on Monday. Dinner.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: The Ratzkeller.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: In Munich. The rats. You just text it to me.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know how to spell it.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I'm portraying the pronunciation on purpose. And other than that...
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Is it bad or traditional?
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Because my girlfriend wants traditional German food. Yeah, it's a
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: cellar underneath a main square. You just keep going down
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: and it's like stone walls and you get like a
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: chunk of meat on a bone.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Or you get some kind of.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: You're speaking my language.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Sausage and stuff all over it.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely have to do it.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: My girlfriend loves, loves fucking German food.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: So go for it.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is you have to go to
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: the Englischer Garten, which is the big, if you look
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: at Munich, there's this big green stretch around the Isator River.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: And depending on, I mean, it's going to be pretty
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: late in November, but they'll probably still be surfing. They
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: have a certain bridge where they put a rope underneath
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: the water and they hung some stuff. So it creates
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: a natural, what do you call it, flow rider wave
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is. It's like a continuous forever surf wave.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to be cold over there. I already looked.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: They're wearing wetsuits in the summer.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: They'll wear wetsuits. Look it up. Just look at unique surfing.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: So we've been all over Instagram, right? So there was
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: this Instagram reel of this boat that goes down that
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: river and it has like I don't know if it's
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: that river. There's a boat in Munich that goes down
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: this fucking river. It's not, it doesn't really go super fast,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: but you can drink. They put like two kegs on
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: it and you just drink on the boat and we're
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: all like, we're in. But it stops like it stopped
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: last week, I think, or Halloween. It stopped for the
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: season because it gets too cold out. I'm like, I'll
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: fucking drink. I don't give a fuck how cold it is.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to visit the... They have
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: little pop-up stands that look like lemonade stands, but they're
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: selling beer. Because in Germany, there's a law that you
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: cannot use more than four ingredients in your beer. So
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: it's none of this.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Everything.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: I love everything we're drinking. Illegal to make that journey.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: It has to be pure. How's the Jager there?
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Is it different than here?
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: It's cold, and it's great.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's different or not, because I
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: had very little, but I focused on the beer.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the beer.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: My buddy that's coming with me is like, you better
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: be ready to drink beer. You know me, I'm not
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: a big beer drinker, but I'm like, I'll drink beer,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: but they have liquor there. Go to the Englisher Garden
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and go to the Chinese Tower. The Chinese Tower.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: The Chinese Tower. Can you text me all this stuff.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Before I go? Yeah, the Chinese Tower, because it's an
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: outdoor beer garden. There's a massive tower that clearly looks.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: chinese or asian or whatever yeah and like you're at
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: epcot and then you're walking around and do not ever
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: order a half liter you just got because you're a
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: man no no.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: No no no that's a three liter i must i
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: must spit that means one more or one liter yeah
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: um but you get the leader and it's a half
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: brow and it's so good and then again there you
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: can get A chunk of meat that comes, like, it's real, whatever.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Or you can get smaller sausages.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Like a Brazilian steakhouse kind of thing? No.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: No, I don't mean like they carve it off for you,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: but something that big?
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Bigger. Really?
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: You can get as big as you want.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? Like, if you order the.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: It's... It's kind of like a buffet style, but then
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: you have to check out when you leave the buffet
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: to go sit down at the picnic table in the
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: middle of the garden.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, got you.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: And then if you want more, you go back in
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: and you can walk in as many times as you want.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: But every time you walk out, they'll charge you for
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: whatever you have.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: But food is so appropriately priced.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: So you can think, oh, in the States, this is
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: going to cost me 30 bucks for that and 40
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: bucks for that. And a liter of beer was eight euros.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: You know what half a liter cost? four euros because
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: in german eight euros is a full liter right half
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: of that should be four yeah there's none of this
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: supersize me there's none of this like nonsense yeah.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: But if you're walking around if you buy more we'll
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: save you a 50 cents but if you're walking around
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: with a half liter you'll get some looks so come
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: on like all right don't worry about me you've.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Worried about me no no i'm just saying i'm worried
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: about the girls going on this trip i want to
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: set the tone I like that.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Munich is my backyard.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: This is amazing. Yeah, I do want to do one
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: of the Third Reich or Adolf Hitler spots.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: The castle.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: The castle, right?
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to get there. I've never made
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: it because it's always been on my list.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: But if you do the double-decker bus, which is super touristy. So, again,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Monday we have a totally free day. We have nothing planned.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Do the bus. Yeah, okay. It's so touristy. It's so cliche.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: This is fine, but. But it's so great.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: I did that in Chicago. The boat.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: When I was living over there and I would travel,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: I was never in the same country for more than
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: four days in a row.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. For a year. Yeah. Really?
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: And every time I went to a new country, I
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: would always jump on the double-decker bus as soon as
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: a meeting was done or as soon as I had
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: a break. You put the speaker on, you figure out
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: which flag is American, and you put the British, and
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: you push it, and you learn so much in a
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: two-hour bus ride. It just goes around the city.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: It goes around, and you're.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Like, Barcelona, talking about the Gadi district, talking about the Familia,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: Sagrada Familia, talking about how this region has changed from,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: it used to be the poor people that lived here,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: but now it's the rich people, and like, So much
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: cool stuff.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Berlin has more bridges than, um, what's the, the Italian, I, shoot,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: I did the bus in both cities.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: In Florence?
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Not Florence. The other one that's more.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Not Rome.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Not Rome, but like the, the one that's an island
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: and it sinks all the time. Oh, uh.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Whatever. Yeah.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: But, like, to think that Berlin has more bridges.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: The whiskey's talking right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: so fun. It's so fun. I love it. Yeah, I'm
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: really looking forward to it. Like, we, uh.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: It's also 20-plus years ago, so.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, no. I'm sure, yeah. And they
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: started doing their protests in Frankfurt, so they'll probably be
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: there during... Actually, this is what I was chatting PT
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: in the other night when they started asking me for money.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey... I'm traveling to Germany, Munich. I'm
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: staying at Munich City East Courtyard Marriott. You know, do
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: I have to worry about these current riots slash protests
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: in Germany? And they're like, they literally wrote me like, well,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: if you're staying over there, you're probably pretty good. They
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: say to avoid downtown. And then I just started getting
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: all this stuff like, do the Patriots have a fan fest?
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: And this and that, blah, blah, blah. And then they
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: finally just shut me off. Like, well, you need to
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: pay me money now because your 24 hours of like
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: five questions is up. And I'm like, son of a bitch.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: But you're right next to the train station. Yes, I
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: know that.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm kind of a little pissed that I booked
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: this trip because I could have. So Swarovski. Their Christmas
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: village starts Wednesday, the 11th, the day we fly out.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: So they'll have it there. And this whole trip, again,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: I don't have to get on public transportation, but we
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: can definitely that Monday take a train wherever.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: The hell we want to, too.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can have a lot of fun.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: It'll be a good time.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: It'll be good.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not a public transport guy, though, but I know
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: it's different over there. It's completely different. So you get
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: a bond card, and you get a 10 pass, and
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: you spend 30 euros, and you can jump on any
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: 10 trains you want in the next 60 days.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: It's unreal.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: And the difference there is that you don't have to
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: look at the MTA app and say, oh, if I
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: leave here, it's going to take an hour. If I
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: leave here, it's going to take an hour and a half. No,
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: you just show up. And there's going to be a
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: train in the next three minutes.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: And it's going to get you there in eight minutes.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: It's just always constantly flowing. It's nonstop because their density
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: is so much better than us.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: And people accept it because you can't own a car.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: The amount of people that live that close together.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know the statistics, but most of them don't
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: have cars. You can't.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: It's like Manhattan.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Not everyone can own a car. Right.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: They shouldn't have any cars in Manhattan.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: That would be delightful. And then there should be a bridge.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: There should be a bridge that goes over it so
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: I can get to Newark faster. But make a really
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: good public transportation system other than the subways and the bullshit.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: You just asked for too much. I hope in my
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: lifetime I see the bridge that goes to Long Island.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: I think that would be cool as fuck. Is that
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: something that's on the list? There is some billionaire developer
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: talking about it. What's the span? Probably at least 10 miles?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it also gets to be, what, 300 feet
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: deep in the middle? Like I said, I'm 52. I
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: don't think I'll see it in my lifetime. They can't
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: be floating pillars, can they? No, no, no.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: They've got to go down. Yeah, yeah. So that would
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: be an interesting engineering challenge.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: It took them over 30-something years just to do the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: big dig in Boston. And it's still not 100%.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: You know what would be fascinating is if you could
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: build a floating road.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: So for some... 10-mile stretch, you don't have to actually
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: do foundations.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Whatever. I'm not an engineer.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just a professional.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: We just get too many storms up here, though. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: Any hurricane that comes up, we're screwed.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're screwed.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Not that we get big butt. If a Sandy came,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: we're screwed.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Or whatever that Nor'easter was.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: That Nor'easter did some serious stuff around town, and we
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: didn't even get hit hard.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: I was supposed to have the Milford Little League.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Golf tournament that.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Tuesday? The storm?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: That's what it was. It was the Oktoberfest. They could
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: do Friday night. They canceled Saturday.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: They canceled Saturday. Sunday was horrid.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Monday was recovery slash a little bit of drizzle.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: I was supposed to play Tuesday and Fairchild Wheeler called
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: on Monday and said, hey, we know it's not raining
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: today and it's not going to rain tomorrow. But we're flooded.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: We lost trees. Maybe it's going to be walking only Wednesday.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: But we're absolutely not open tomorrow. And I said, well, guys,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: this sucks.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: So what do I do?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: I was going to get into a little politics because
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Why not? I don't really want to know. I want
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: to ask you about the plane that went down in Florida.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that? I know nothing about it.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Give me some details. Are you really off the grid?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: I told you before this started. My daughter is awesome.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: She just turned eight yesterday. And she does soccer and
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: basketball and runs my life. My son plays baseball on
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: too many teams. Already started basketball. We haven't finished baseball yet. Well,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: we finished baseball on Monday. Super cool game.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: They all wore their costumes.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: That's cute. So fun. That's cute.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: And I swear it's eight days a week. We have
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: two events.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: So as I said, I don't watch the news. I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: don't watch TV. I'm lucky to figure out if I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: can start Game of Thrones Season 3 soon.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I don't even know when that was. We watched Crystal Lake.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: So Crystal Lake is a prequel show on Netflix about
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Friday the 13th. Oh, really? Yeah. Actually, very good. But
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I was so tired on Tuesday night or Monday night.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Is it coming out now? No, it's out.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: It's out. You can watch all eight episodes.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: It's out now. Oh, okay.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: But it's newer this year. Oh, it just came out
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: like two weeks ago.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Got it. Very good.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: If you like to gore and you grew up on
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: that kind of shit.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: You're 10 years beyond my Netflix queue. So anyway, so
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: this Learjet 60 takes off from Texas to go to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: the Bahamas. This is real life. This is real life. Okay.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: And I can't believe it.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: From Texas.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: From Texas.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: That's a short flight. Yeah, to the Bahamas is short.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: And they get to about where my mom lives in Florida,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: about the Fort Myers area.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: And there's all these storms popping up, like reds and
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: yellow storms.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: But you'd go above it. Isn't that the concept of
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: an airplane? They flew through one, and then they asked
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: the flight control, whoever they're talking to, ground control, we're
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: going to rise up to 37,000 feet and try to
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: get over it. And next thing you know, so there
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: was a 20-year-old co-pilot. She was a young girl. And
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: there was the pilot. I hadn't heard much about him.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: And there was like, four really rich people on the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: fucking thing with their fucking kids right no it's a
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: two million dollar plane and it's a buy not to
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: mention it's a million to pay gas for and all
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: that this fucking plane just ended up nose diving at
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: 585 miles an hour into a rural street in florida
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: how many lived.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Sorry on the ground everybody.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Too soon So this is one of those, you know,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a conspiracy guy. Everyone's fucking texting me and asking
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: me about it. And I said, you know. That's how
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: you knew. It wasn't because it was in the news.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: It's because people text you. No, I go on Twitter
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: all the time. This is where I see all my shit.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: That is the news now. Another failure. Okay. Failure. So.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: I actually said to a lot of my friends, you know,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: sometimes planes just fucking crash. You know, there's nothing. There's
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: no conspiracy behind it.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: You know, you said I said this.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, because I see the videos and people are
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: because it was near Mar-a-Lago.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: So it happened near Trump's fucking house.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: So you're thinking it's like, no, I'm not thinking people
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: are thinking that. OK, this is this because it fucking
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: landed so fast and there's no debris. Everything disintegrated. So
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: my girlfriend's texting me from work. What's up with this jet?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: So now I'm like, all right, fuck it. I'll play
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: the conspiracy theorist. Two planes flew into the World Trade
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Center towers, right? Filled with fucking gas. The whole thing collapsed.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you think about it. That's the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: story they told us. And yet they found one of
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: the hijackers' passports.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: In the rubble.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: She's like, oh, I didn't think about that.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: I go, so... You're telling me that this plane at
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: 600 miles an hour flew into the ground and you
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: can't even discern anything from the plane. It's all gone.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: And there's no human bones.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: There's no teeth. There's no nothing. But they found a
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: passport and kind of the same kind of thing. They
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: weren't flying as fast, but they had more gas than
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: this plane did. So I just get her going.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: She's like, no, she works with a bunch of like...
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: You're an asshole.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: You are a genuine, certified asshole. But I love it.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, you know, she's like, she works with
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: a bunch of like.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: You could have said anything.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: You know three of the hijackers survived?
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: I can manipulate her. She's awesome.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: She always comes in.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: She works with a lot of liberals.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. I'm not being political. She
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: also works with a lot of conspiracy theorists. She'll text
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: me once a day about what do you think about this?
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Sometimes I give my
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: honest answer. Sometimes I give an answer that a conspiracy
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: theorist would give. I'm still level-headed.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I've seen the videos.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: It looks like a fucking Learjet flying into the ground
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: at 600 miles an hour. Like, if you slow-mo, because
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: it's on, like, a dash cam. I'll show you the
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: video after the show. And I'm like, but, you know,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: I'll tweak them. Because I know who she works with.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll tweak them. Fuck them. Fuck them.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's have her say something.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, it's just a lot. And then the elections
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: last night, the blue wave came.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: So all the blue-haired.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: Was that unexpected on your part?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it was to an extent expected. I didn't think
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: it would be as bad as it was.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Texas turning blue, whoever saw that in their lifetime, been
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: like 70-something years.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: Florida was closed. They kept it.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: But I think it was just like Connecticut is blue,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: but it got really blue, which was disappointing to me.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: More so in what way?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: More state senators more local politicians you know flip the seats.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Obviously Lamont won you know it's just.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: What I hate is everything's tied to Trump and again
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I used to be a big Trumper I'm just a
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Trumper now he's got two years left he's gone don't
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: have to listen to him anymore he was never a
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: diplomatic person do you think he's really gone?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: He can't run again.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: He won't say that Yeah, but he says that to
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: fuck with the fucking people asking him. He can't. It's literally,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: you'd have to change laws. And now we don't own those.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: We don't own the Senate or the fucking Congress to
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: change them. So if he really wanted to, he would
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: have done it in the last two years. He's 80
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: I think his biggest legacy he wants is dismantling Iran.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: And this is what's costing us right now. Is dismantling Iran,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: making sure they have no nukes and there are no
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: a player in this terrorist game. I think that is
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: his legacy he wants. By him doing that in his
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: second term, he has caused gas prices to go up,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: not as high as the Biden era, but he's caused
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: them to go up, and Biden didn't have, by the way,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: an Iran war going on, or the Straits of Hormuz closed.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: And the gas prices were still high. But it's become his, like,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: It's hard to explain.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: But I just feel like he put all his eggs
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: in one basket on this Iran stuff. And it unfortunately
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: affected the whole country into local politics. Because people, like,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: TDS is a real thing. People really hate him so much.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who's on the ballot. What's TDS?
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: People hate Trump so much. That doesn't matter what's going on.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what's going on. They're going to vote blue.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. They're going to vote blue.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: And I wish the state had.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: A local politics. Well, we talked about the average American. Yeah. Yeah, right, right.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: We talked about it on the show.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: If you want to bring it up now, go ahead.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Doesn't take much. No. So these are my thoughts.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: It's not your thoughts.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: These are mine. I just think the Iran war is
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: what really flipped the states blue again.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: Is it a war now?
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: I know we've lost a lot of people. They'll label
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: it a war. It's not.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: It's a conflict. It's not.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: There's no troops on the ground. There's no troops on
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: the ground. It's just open the fucking straight. Get rid
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: of your nukes. You haven't done it. We're going to
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: kill your leaders.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Vietnam was never really a war. That
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: has to be the worst, right?
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: Right. Like the worst. Yeah. I don't know. I mean,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: Ukraine and fucking Russia are still at war. And that
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: started when Biden took over. So they're on six years now. Like....
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: But that's still not a war to us, is it?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: To us, no.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: That's their war, not ours. We fucking gave them a shitload.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: We spent billions of our tax money on it. But
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: that's okay. This world will never be at peace, ever.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: It just never will. Why do people have to suck?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Why can't we just be nice? I
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: don't get it. It's like that guy who stole my
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: fucking damn candy bucket. No, but I mean that in sincerity.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Why do people have to suck?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: Why do you not think about other people before you
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: make actions?
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: Seven deadly sins, you know?
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: Power, money, lust, gluttony.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Sounds so nice. Yeah. Can you imagine? Maybe we should
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: watch Seven tonight when I get home. All the cheesecake
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: I could ever want. You know what my secret is?
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: It's actually French silk pie. French silk pie? Yeah.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: My wife made it for.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: Me for my birthday. Oh, wow. Because I never get
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: to touch it any other time in the year. And
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: she made it for my birthday a couple years ago.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: She's like, is this really what you enjoy? I loved it.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: I ate the whole thing.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Let's switch tunes a little bit.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: You're on death row, right? And you get your last meal.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, I've seen these Twitters. I already know what your
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: dessert is. What's your last meal?
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: A Costco ribeye that I get to cook with, I'm
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: going to mess up the name, but it's the same
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: seasoning that comes at Costco, steak seasoning from, what is
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: the brand that they have?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Kinder? Kinder.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Not Kinder. That's like healthy.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Oh. Whatever. Yeah.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Like it's just all salt.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just all salt. But I have to tell you,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I can cook one hell of a ribeye from Cosby.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Not the thin cut junk. Yeah. Not the one that
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: you buy in the full wall.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: You got to slice it yourself.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No. I want like the thick cut from their butchers.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: They do the great job. The marbleization.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: I just cooked three of them.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: What is it today? Wednesday?
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: That must have been Thursday last week.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, it was so good.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: I cooked three of them. My wife and I had
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: three quarters of one.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: The rest go in a glass Tupperware in the fridge, and.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: That's my lunch next week.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: He makes steak sandwiches out of it the whole night. Oh,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot of... This is... I'm going to
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: go on a tangent. I don't know if you want
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: this or not. Go ahead. I bought a Blackstone grill,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: the portable one. Not the one with the legs and everything,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: but like... The two-burner portable that is super easy.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: You wheel it around? No, you put it on a
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: six-foot folding table. You bring it to the kids' baseball games.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's really portable. Yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: You bring it to the kids' baseball games. And we
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: cook up food at every one of these Gators doubleheaders.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: And it's so fun. Depending on what time the game is,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: we'll do breakfast sandwiches.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll do lunch. We'll do dinner, whatever.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Flat-top grills are the fucking best. Oh, it's so great.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: So... I just, I don't know where I was going
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: with that, but it was so fun because it got
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: me thinking about it. And I have all these tortillas
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: left over because we were supposed to do burritos. And
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: that game got canceled because it was rained out. It
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: rained every Sunday for like six weeks in a row. Oh, yeah.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. So that's when our games were.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: The first night Sunday was when I had the Irish
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: bar at my house.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: I lucked out.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: So I had breakfast sandwiches and English muffins, and I
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: kept them for like six weeks.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: And by the time we finally had a breakfast game
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: where we could cook breakfast sandwiches, I ate the first one.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: I said, throw those out. We're using his bread.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Throw it at all the English muffins. Anyways, so.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: I have all these tortillas. And I was like, what
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: do I do with these tortillas?
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: The season's over.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: There's no more baseball. So I'm just making burritos and quesadillas.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: And everything with my steak. That's where I was going. Now,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: do you take, when you cook the ribeyes, so I
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: have a setup at my house where I have the
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: flat top grill and then I have the regular grill.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: So when I do steaks, I turn the flat top
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: as high as I can. Sear it. And let it
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: run for 20 minutes. And then season, season, sear it
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: for about 30, 45 seconds, flip it, and then I
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: put it on the grill to finish it off, to
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: get to a nice medium rare, whatever. It's nice.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: So when I first moved in, I recommend this to anybody.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: I already had a big, huge gas tank, propane tank
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: that heats my garage, right?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: My garage was like yours. It's separate from the house.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So on my deck, I had my
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: grill that we brought from the condo that we moved from.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: And then I won my Blackstone at a golf tournament.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: So I set it all up. Baller. Yeah, I'm like.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Long drive?
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Closest to the hole?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Raffle, raffle, raffle. Lie.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Lie. No, no, no. Hole-in-one. Hole-in-one. Yeah. Hole-in-one won me.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: Not the car. Won me a grill.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: So on my back deck, I have both grills. So
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: the guy was over to fill up the tank, right?
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: It's big.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: It's fucking this tall.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: And I go, do you guys do propane tanks for
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: grills and stuff? He goes, nah, we're more industrial size.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: I go, he goes, let me see what your setup is.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: And he walks over and he goes, oh, I can
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: put an 80-gallon tank right here with a splitter and
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: I can fucking feed both.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: This was two years ago.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: I grill all the fucking time. And I haven't refilled
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: it yet. And I run both at the same time, whatever. Dude.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. The only problem is if you don't have
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: a propane tank to heat something, they.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: Won't just give you the little one. It's not this little.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: It's like this big. And they won't show up to
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: fill it.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right. You got to call them. So it's like,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: But this guy's like, no, we won't even charge you
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: for the rental. You just pay for the fillet. And
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: then it's like, I'm like, dude, I don't. At the time,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't think I'd be grilling that much. Now I'm
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: fucking grilling three, four nights a week.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: It's fucking awesome.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: I love being out there. I got my little radio
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: out there. I'm just listening to music, flipping fucking smash burgers, whatever.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: My neighbor came. He called me, and he's.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: Like, hey, you home? And I was like, yeah, what's up?
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: He goes, come outside.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: And I walk out the front door, and I see
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: his kid wheeling like a little Red Ryder cart. It's
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: like three propane tanks, the five-gallon tanks, you know, right?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, what the hell is Carter doing?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: And then here comes Sean pushing his Weber grill. And
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: he's like, hey, man, I'm upgrading my grill.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: We've got to throw yours out. Take this one.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: Right. Real awesome. Tells you about my character.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's the same grill I'm using now five years later. Right.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: He has those nice grill bars on it, so it's
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: not the normal things. It's the flames.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Don't come up.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Well, they lay over the top of them. Yeah. The
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: bars are gone. I take them out, and it fits in.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: They're a custom fit.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, gotcha.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: And if you flip it over, it acts as a flat.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Top, but there's holes.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: So you can do stuff, but only when it's super hot.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: I never do that.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: I just want the grill marks. So you salt the
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: shit out of these things.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: You put them on.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Seven minutes later, you flip it. Seven minutes later, you
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: take it off.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: Done. I don't sear.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: I don't do any of that.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: No. Like, I should. I just like having that little
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: crust on it to sear it. Oh, absolutely.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: I get it. But it is perfect. If you put
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: a Weber at half.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And seven. You have to.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: I run it for 30, 40 minutes before I start
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: just to make sure. Because it's all metal and you
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: want to heat the metal and you want to get
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: the flame.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: But seven and seven. That's the answer these days. I do.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: For the thick ones. I'll do like the bacon first
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: and I'll push it off to the side. On the
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: flat top.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: On the flat top. Yeah.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: And I'll let the grease stay there.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: And then I'll do the french fries.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: Frozen. You gotta let them thaw out. And then you
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: throw the french fries on into the bacon grease. Yeah.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: And then you just let them fucking sit for a
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: little while. You push those off. Sounds like you have
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: a 42 inch. No, I don't.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: I have 36.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: Actually, 28. I'm a two burner too.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, jeez. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I won in a tournament.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: So anyway, and then I'll do that. And then we'll
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: finish those off in the oven and get a little
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: more crisp. And then I'll do the burgers and stuff. Yeah.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Seasoning is everything. It really is for a lot of
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: this shit. A really good steak, I don't think you
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: need to season more than salt. and pepper yeah but
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: montreal montreal is good that's the one but that's what
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: i'm talking about it's just burgers though like i use
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: that dano i use i season the fuck out of
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: my burgers all sorts of different shit.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: I'll just grab stuff i'm like let's go let's go
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: let's go.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: Do a juicy lucy I've never actually made one, though.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: That's with the cheese in the middle, right? The two patties,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: you put the cheese in the middle. It can be
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: done well. It can be done horribly. Yeah, I can imagine.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: When you bite into it and you burn the shit
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: out of your mouth. Oh, yeah.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: You probably got to let that sit for a little bit, huh?
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: Or cut it open. But that defeats the point.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: That's something I learned how to make. So this is
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: a funny story. So if you look up behind you,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: you'll see Sean Healy Memorial Golf Tournament. Yeah.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: So it's a friend of ours that passed away. And
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: that was the first year in 2024.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: So we had a tournament, and the grand prize in
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: the raffle, or the big raffle, was winning the Blackstone.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: So that was how I won the Blackstone. Oh, that tournament.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: That tournament. So then last year, I just put all
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: my ducks in one basket, or eggs in one basket,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: on this beautiful yellow stand-up rolling cooler with the doors.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: Hit it, right? This year... I put $ 20 into the
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: golden ticket. That's how I won the rambling in to
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: come to my house. I am like three for fucking
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: three for my buddy Sean Healy's tournament.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, buddy. Hell yeah.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: See, my friends hate me because I always win raffle stuff. Yeah,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: I do too.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: And I'm organizing and managing and setting up and emailing
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: these people just like the turkey trot for the Little
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: League tournament, the United Way tournament, for the Purple Pantry tournament.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: And I'll always win an exceptional amount of things. So
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: I give my tickets to my buddies and say, hey,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: if these win, keep them inside. I'm keeping this, but
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: don't make it clear it's me because I'm reading the numbers.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know my numbers.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: You're an insider trader.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: Right, exactly. So I'm reading this. And at one point,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: this was the Purple Pantry event that happened just this March. No, May.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: This was May. It was 420, I think. Maybe it
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: was last year. Anyways, so I gave it to my buddy, Kevin,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: and I was like, buddy, if any of these tickets
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: win the 50-50, you just take the money and you
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: hand it right back because it goes.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: Straight to the charity. That's what it's about.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: We're here for charity. That's why I don't play 50-50 anymore.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: That's a whole other thing. And it turns out that
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: it was like $ 900 is what was going to the winner,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: which is like the biggest 50-50 we've had at one
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: of these events. It's not a huge amount of money,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: but it's huge for a golf tournament.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: That's a good number.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: And that means $ 1, 800 was.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: In, right?
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: So he's walking up and he's like, he's mouthing to me,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: it's yours, it's yours. And I'm sitting there and I
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: was like, you better fucking return that.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: So he takes it, turns and looks at the crowd
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: and hands it back.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh, look at that good guy right there.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: Everyone was booing him.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Like, It was great.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: I'm weird on 50-50.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: For a charity, it's different than at a baseball game.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Well, all right. So I'll even go one step further. Yes, baseball, basketball.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you win it, you win it.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: It's 20 grand.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Right, right. It's a lot of money. But I hate...
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: If you're going to a cancer fundraiser or something like that, fucking, yeah,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: give the money back. Like... I would rather not even,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: don't even give me a ticket because I don't want
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: to have to make that decision. Just take my $ 20
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: and put it towards it, you know?
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: And I was. But you have to do gimmicks to
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: get people to give you that $ 20.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: I'm saying me personally, like just, yeah, I'll just give
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: you money. I'm generous as fuck.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: I'll give you money.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: And I hit, I was, oh God, it's.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: 20 something years ago. It was Kiwanis in Milford. They
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: had a golf tournament every year I used to go to.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: I don't go to it anymore, but. I was really fucking, like,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: broke at the time. Like, I fucking owed, like, I
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: was probably 20-something years old. I owed $ 5, 000 in car
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: taxes to the fucking car I had in West Haven
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: because it was so ridiculous. Because Connecticut taxes your fucking
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: cars every year. Right.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: What is that? And, you know, I'm living with three roommates.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: It was not a great time in my life.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: But I won, like, $ 1, 300.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: And I was, like, the last person to put my
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: fucking number in. They pull it. And it was one
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: of the security guards at Stonebridge.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: She's like, oh, the dog. She's like, dog, dog, dog.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: You want him? I'm like, holy shit.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: Everyone's like, put it back.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm not. And I was young, too.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it was me now, I would. But
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: that's totally fine.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: Right. It's a different. So then I go to like,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I see him everywhere now. And I'm like,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: to me, it really depends on the event. You know,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: like if it's somebody, if it's a cancer fundraiser or
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: any kind of health fundraiser. Dude, again.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: It depends on the organization.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want my tickets drawn. I don't even want the,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: I don't want the praise of giving it back.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: I don't care about that shit. But it's about the organization.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: If they're already making a million dollars, two million dollars,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: two million dollars a year. Right, right. They don't care
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: about two grand. If I'm winning a Fenway, I'm taking
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: the fucking 30 grand. No, no, 100%. But if it's
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: the Purple Pantry and our annual budget is 70 grand
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: a year. Right.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: And you're talking about giving back 800 bucks.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Right. Holy shit.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: That's more than a percent. Right, right, right.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: That's a big deal. Now, it's different for different organizations.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: It's different for what their focuses are.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: But just the fact that, don't call it a 50-50 raffle.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: But then people don't get money. No, but no. Because
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: the gambling, the excitement.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: No, this bothers me because I feel it's false advertising.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: I'm one of the most generous people you'll find, as
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: you are as well. Three quarters of the people keep
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: the money.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Right, I know. But, like, do it some.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Buy a fucking TV.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: Like, do something where you don't have to force the
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: person into being an asshole or a savior. See, I
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: don't think of them as an asshole. Yeah, you might not,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: but fucking people there, they're chanting them on.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: Donate it back.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, man.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe that guy needs the money.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: That's maybe why he fucking took the raffle ticket.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: But they're drunk. They don't remember it the next day.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: Not every event, though. Not every event. I get what
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: you're saying. I've had an issue with 50-50 for a
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: long time.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: I get what you're saying, and I fully appreciate it.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: But in an environment like we're in today, which is
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: completely different than it was... six years ago, five years,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: four years ago, getting sponsors, getting money, anything is so
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: much more difficult. This is, I don't want to bring
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: this up. This is the first year we're not going
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: to be able to cover all of our costs for
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: the turkey trout with sponsors.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Really? Yeah.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Because so all great organizations, I'm not going to throw
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: anyone under the bus.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: Everyone is awesome.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: They've all given out money many years in a row.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: There are so many organizations that can't give money this
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: year because of the climate we're in.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: And they've already committed money here or they just don't
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: have it or they're not even in business anymore. Like,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: it's not a good environment.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: And there are so many more golf tournaments. There are
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: so many more runs. There are so many more people
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: in need or family members of their own that they know.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: The heartbreaking stories are what caused me to say, like,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: I don't... Everyone is awesome. They're all great. You have
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: But....
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you once. If you don't respond,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: I'll ask you twice. If you tell me, hey, I can't,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to ask you again. And this is
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: our lowest fundraising year in four years.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: And that's fine.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: It's totally fine. It just means that this is the
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: first year. Not 100% of the race registration money is
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: going to go to charity.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: Right. And that's fine. Right.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: It's totally fine. We're still going to be a lot
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: of money.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: You're not making a dime.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: It's all going to charity. Nobody in the entire tourney
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: trot makes a cent.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Right. And that's fine.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: But we love giving more money each year, right? Everyone
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: loves growth. Everyone loves this, that.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: Right. And it's in the current situation. Oh, now Dems
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: control everything. So you're screwed. Yeah. That's what put us here. Well, yeah,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: but still, but still, it's just, it's just.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: Crazy to see of, even when I'm, when I'm working
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: on the Milford United way golf tournament, people are like, Oh,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: well this is like my sixth golf tournament of the year.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, number one, I didn't get invited. So invite
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: me next time. Number two, Like, holy shit, there's so many.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned it. Oh, I used to do this one.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: I used to do that one. Dude, my friend that
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: still works at Stonebridge, he plays in like two a week.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: He doesn't pay for any of them. But here's the thing.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: They're sponsored by whoever and whoever and whoever.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: How do I find out about those? Because I want
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: to play in them. And there's.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: No central pop, right? You have to know someone. You
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: have to be on a list.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of these are just sold out automatically.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: It's the same people from last year. You know what
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: I mean? Casey's Irish Pub sells out before it was
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: even announced. I couldn't play in the last few years,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I still gave her $ 100 to put my
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: sign up. I can't play.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: That one's impressive.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: It's a Tuesday. It's during the week, and I'm like, fuck,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. Yeah.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: I've got to take two days off, basically. I've got
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: Tuesday off.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: To play, and Wednesday I'm on over. Because the tournament's
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: not done until 8, and then we, what did you

• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: do your PLP. We'll bring some pizza life down.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: I just want to bring PLPs to the conversation, to.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: The table, to know that these exist.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds like a great time. What did I
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: tell you? We went to Meriden for a football game,
• 1:28:38

• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah because they cost you money and I am I
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: am That person now.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: Of those people now.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: Dude.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: But it's got a built-in cooler. Half of the fun
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: of golf is driving around in a golf cart.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: Dude. You were talking about a four caddy.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: I was amazed that he's still carrying your bag.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: Most four caddies. Right. The bags are on the carts. Yeah.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: That caddy's just running up ahead to make sure he
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't die.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: He or she. But still.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jesus Christ.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: You're in a safe zone.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: I played at Great River. On Mother's Day, because I
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: fucked up.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: And I had my Purple Pantry Golf Tournament on the
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: Monday after Mother's Day. Totally fucked up.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: My two buddies that fly in every year to play
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: with me from Minnesota.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: First year they were fathers, so they missed their wives'
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: first Mother's Day. Because they flew out here to play
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: with me.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: Well, that's on them, not you. Well, they're kind of
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: peer pressured. So we're playing and they.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: They said, we're not allowing you three assholes to go
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: out and play golf on Great River when no one
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: else is on the course because it's Mother's Day, so
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: no one's playing.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: And you have to take a caddy.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: And we're like, okay, fine, we'll take a caddy. So
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: you paid the, hold on, you paid the $ 2.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: 50 a head?
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: It was at least $ 2. 50 a head for the member
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: for a day. And then, yeah, member for a day.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: And then we paid an additional lot of money for
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: this caddy. For the four caddy, yes. But it was
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: a four caddy.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: So she ended up just riding on the cart with us,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: hanging out. And we finally get through a couple holes
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: and she's comfortable.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: And we're like, fuck it. Like, you're a scratch plus one,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: whatever you are from whatever university. Like, just take this club.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: Do you know her? I know a couple girls there, yeah.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: And....
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: And she like had graduated, but was still amateur and
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: was about to go pro and like all this stuff.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck it.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: Like, we don't, we don't believe you.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: Like, just take a club. She just grabs a club.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: She's like, Oh, this club's kind of shit like this.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: Like sticks at three inches on the hole where like
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: the water's just behind it. It's like way down low
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: and you're, I don't know the course, but good enough
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: to like, but like she just sticks it.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: We're like, like a par three. Yeah. We're like fucking shit.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: We're just, and like there's water all in the, like
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: behind it until the left and the holes down low.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: And we're just like, God, God damn it, we're really
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: not good at this sport.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's the short one down the hill when the
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: water's to your left.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: That is hole 14.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: Why do we try?
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: That's 14. Why do we even try?
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: I know. She was effortless.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: I think she took her shoes off because she's like,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: these aren't like natural golf shoes. I've got to play barefoot.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: These are like caddy shoes. And we're like, go just fuck.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. Oh, that's good, man. That's good stuff. Good
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: to talk to you. I used to play there all
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: the time. I love it there. Great to talk to you, man. Again,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: let's do a final plug for Turkey Trot. It is
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: the 26th this year, Thanksgiving. Thursday, the start time is?
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: 9 a.m.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: Show up anytime after 7.30. Anytime after 7.30. I get
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: there around 5. We ask volunteers to be there at 6.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: It's a lot to set this nonsense up. You can
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: go to milfordturkeytrot.com. That's what I was going to say.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: What's the website? milfordturkeytrot.com. And there's a volunteer sign-up. There's
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: a sponsorship sign-up. There's all kinds of fun stuff. But
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: more than anything, register. And I just want to let
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: everyone know that I pay every year.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: I don't get the benefit of hosting him to get free. Because, again,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: we were just talking about, you know, he needs money.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: And he doesn't need the money. He wants more money
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: to donate to the charities that he donates to. And
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, especially this time of year
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: when families are struggling. And, you know, we all know
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: how the economy is in this world. And it's funny.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: I'll finish on this note, Tork. I have keeping Milford
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: warm on a lot. They're going to be coming on
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: when I get back from Germany. And one of the
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: amazing things we talk about is we talked about earlier,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: we think we live in this bubble. And there are
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: many people struggling in Milford that can't pay their electricity bills,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: that can't pay their gas bills, that keep their houses warm.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: Can't afford food.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: And can't afford food.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: And you're one of them, and these are some of the,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I hate using the word charity, but these
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: are some of these corporations or organizations that come together
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: and bring Milford people in to donate some of the money.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: Because we are pretty much, you know, I wouldn't call
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: us a wealthy town, but there's a lot of wealthy
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: people in this town who have the means to donate.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: And I am not one of them. But I donate anyway,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: is my point. I still donate because a couple bucks
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: here and there adds up in the end. You don't
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: always see the fruits of your labor.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: You're not going to know who got the money. But
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: I will tell you this.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: I know whatever Tor is doing and these other organizations
