- 0:36Speaker 2: Tim.
- 0:37Speaker 1: We finally hooked up Tim Geyer, the one of the
- 0:41Speaker 1: two pieces of Acoustic Dudes. Yeah, good to see you, man.
- 0:45Speaker 1: They are coming on absolutely. So we'll start out with
- 0:50Speaker 1: what you've been going on. I first, actually I think
- 0:53Speaker 1: I first saw you guys. It was you were doing
- 0:58Speaker 1: the Hutch the Hutches bringing it Archie Moore's and I
- 1:02Speaker 1: even knew you were like musically in Fine. Yeah, I
- 1:05Speaker 1: had no clue.
- 1:05Speaker 3: It kind of fell into places, I guess. To give
- 1:08Speaker 3: you a little history of it, So Chris was painting
- 1:11Speaker 3: our house. One day, we had him working at our house.
- 1:14Speaker 3: He's been a paying all of his life, but through
- 1:16Speaker 3: a contractor. We got to know him through that, and
- 1:18Speaker 3: we did know Chris played. He used to play out
- 1:20Speaker 3: by himself, and you know, over the years that we've
- 1:22Speaker 3: been playing again, I learned he played with other people.
- 1:24Speaker 3: But we're both pretty late bloomers when it comes to
- 1:26Speaker 3: this stuff. So he was painting, he was sitting on
- 1:29Speaker 3: a bucket in the hallway on my second floor, saw
- 1:33Speaker 3: a guitar hang and said, well, you play, and then
- 1:35Speaker 3: I could see the you know, the gears going in
- 1:38Speaker 3: his head. So we got together and we practiced once,
- 1:40Speaker 3: and then like less than a week after that, he
- 1:43Speaker 3: asked me if I wanted to play with the mcafe Atlante.
- 1:46Speaker 3: This goes back to twenty twenty three April April May
- 1:48Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, so we kind of had a you know,
- 1:52Speaker 3: not that busy twenty twenty three. You know, we did
- 1:55Speaker 3: a lot of practice and getting to know each other
- 1:57Speaker 3: and stuff. But then in July twenty twenty uh no,
- 2:01Speaker 3: that was twenty twenty to twenty twenty three. In July,
- 2:04Speaker 3: Eli started having a live music I was there every
- 2:06Speaker 3: Thursday for years and Sikorski was doing their nine eighties
- 2:09Speaker 3: and four tens.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I'd go there and yeah back on five days.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Oh really Yeah, it's not every day that's camp, absolutely,
- 2:19Speaker 3: especially days like today. So so yeah, we started playing
- 2:23Speaker 3: there and it actually became pretty much the house band
- 2:25Speaker 3: there for a while, and we probably played there thirty
- 2:27Speaker 3: forty times in the time that they were there. So
- 2:30Speaker 3: it's kind of where we both got, you know, to
- 2:32Speaker 3: know how to play with each other. The only other
- 2:35Speaker 3: experience I had to play out before that was with
- 2:37Speaker 3: me and Cahone Joeldore and his band. I played with
- 2:41Speaker 3: them a couple of times at Eli. I was just
- 2:42Speaker 3: three songs or whatever, so it was kind of my
- 2:44Speaker 3: intro to that. I also, you know, wanted to I
- 2:48Speaker 3: did an open mic at the MAC. Actually I was
- 2:51Speaker 3: going to do it in March of twenty twenty, and
- 2:54Speaker 3: then COVID happened, so a year and a.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Half later I went and did that.
- 2:58Speaker 3: So so that's kind of how we've gotten together, and
- 3:03Speaker 3: then we've played some pretty interesting places. You know, we're
- 3:06Speaker 3: doing it all for fun, you know, for us. You know,
- 3:07Speaker 3: we're of course on the backside of you know, our
- 3:10Speaker 3: lives and careers.
- 3:11Speaker 1: He's looking to get rid.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Of some of his painting jobs, you know, going forward
- 3:16Speaker 3: and toning that down a little bit. And I've been
- 3:19Speaker 3: pretty much retired since November twenty twenty three from Sikorski,
- 3:24Speaker 3: and so yeah, this has been kind of our focus.
- 3:26Speaker 3: We we've recently been on a nice schedule this year
- 3:29Speaker 3: where we're rotating from Stonebridge, SBC and Orangeale House. So
- 3:36Speaker 3: playing three times a month is good for us, you know,
- 3:38Speaker 3: have a week off and figured out something else to do.
- 3:40Speaker 1: We have a pretty good crowd. You have a week
- 3:42Speaker 1: off all week about weekend off.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Yeah, So yeah, no, it's it's been a whole lot
- 3:50Speaker 3: of fun. And then actually we have a third member
- 3:53Speaker 3: who's been you know, playing with us. His brother in law,
- 3:56Speaker 3: Ronkennelly has been he's been like filling in with us
- 4:00Speaker 3: harmonica and stuff for pretty much last year and then
- 4:04Speaker 3: this year he started to play the acoustic bass with
- 4:07Speaker 3: us and and more harmonica and.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Stuff like that.
- 4:10Speaker 3: So so we have guests, uh, singers and you know
- 4:13Speaker 3: all that stuff.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So we kind of keep it loose and open, right.
- 4:16Speaker 3: You know my background, you know, I'm a big deadhead,
- 4:19Speaker 3: so I you know, learned a lot from playing along
- 4:21Speaker 3: with the Grateful Dead, and it's got part of my
- 4:23Speaker 3: uh repertoires playing that.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Kind of music.
- 4:26Speaker 3: And other than that, it's you know, basically classic rock stuff. Yeah,
- 4:30Speaker 3: but and an energetic acoustic twist on I guess you'd
- 4:33Speaker 3: call it. You mus a drum machine and gives it,
- 4:37Speaker 3: you know, a good rhythm behind it. You know, we
- 4:39Speaker 3: see a lot of the acoustic stuff kind of just
- 4:41Speaker 3: kind of sits there without having that beat behind it,
- 4:44Speaker 3: So it works out pretty good.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I you know, let me about Saturday that you brought up.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Eli's just realize, you know, it just sucks that they're
- 4:52Speaker 1: not them about it, because you know, we became really
- 4:54Speaker 1: good friends with those guys and they u uh you know,
- 5:00Speaker 1: they just they just I just it was weird not
- 5:03Speaker 1: having the doors open on a daily over there. Every
- 5:06Speaker 1: time I go buy it, wow, and I forget who
- 5:08Speaker 1: bought it. But I guess it's going to be another restaurant.
- 5:12Speaker 1: I don't know, but it just sucks, you know, see
- 5:14Speaker 1: see not just them, just restaurants everywhere, just shuddering. It's
- 5:20Speaker 1: hopefully you know, I don't want to bring up political stuff,
- 5:23Speaker 1: but you know, hopefully this comedy turns around prices come
- 5:27Speaker 1: down to so restaurants not to charge so much, you know,
- 5:31Speaker 1: and you know, no tax on tips, if that ever
- 5:34Speaker 1: even happens. But it's an interesting concept. It's interesting concept,
- 5:39Speaker 1: you know. So so you're playing, you're playing this Friday
- 5:42Speaker 1: night that stonebo we're playing Day at Stonebridge, right, third time,
- 5:48Speaker 1: we've right in the bar area.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Actually, we were able to get into the restaurant area
- 5:53Speaker 3: last time we played, so.
- 5:55Speaker 1: You know from the other side of the bar, you're
- 5:56Speaker 1: in the dining room. Right. Oh wait, are you all
- 5:59Speaker 1: the way in the dining room or in the little
- 6:01Speaker 1: area where like the rum runners would pay the other yeah,
- 6:04Speaker 1: right right.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's good for us because we played in
- 6:07Speaker 3: the bar area one time. It was pretty I guess,
- 6:10Speaker 3: especially with everyone walking in front of and stuff.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And I tipped over the rock acoustics ship.
- 6:16Speaker 3: For right, right, and we have a little bit more
- 6:17Speaker 3: than they have because we're sitting and we got stuff
- 6:20Speaker 3: like that. So so it worked out really good last time. Yeah,
- 6:23Speaker 3: And last time was the end of January. We had
- 6:26Speaker 3: a great crowd, which was actually my wife, her family,
- 6:29Speaker 3: half of their birthdays. At the end of January. So
- 6:31Speaker 3: we had them.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Wellcome and oh nice. It was a nice, good crowd
- 6:34Speaker 1: there this time around. You know, we've been talking to
- 6:36Speaker 1: Phil Conine and he just put out an album, Honey Patches,
- 6:40Speaker 1: and there was just time. We just promoted this album absolutely.
- 6:43Speaker 1: So are you playing some of his songs?
- 6:45Speaker 3: We're gonna play yeah, Friday night. He just today he
- 6:47Speaker 3: gave me a couple of songs that he wants to do. Yeah,
- 6:50Speaker 3: and I guess you know, we'll play him.
- 6:51Speaker 1: He'll sing them and you guys, are just that sound?
- 6:53Speaker 1: Do you pick it right right up? Yeah? There yea,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and his own admission, they're not that complicated. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 6:58Speaker 3: We We pretty much can play anything that's put in
- 7:01Speaker 3: front of us, or we can hear and figure out.
- 7:04Speaker 1: So yeah, now we're looking forward to it. He's pretty
- 7:05Speaker 1: excited about it too.
- 7:06Speaker 3: It'd be good to get, you know, songs from an
- 7:09Speaker 3: album like that to be played live.
- 7:11Speaker 1: You know, do you guys do? So. I won't be working,
- 7:13Speaker 1: but I'll be there sure. By the way, a little
- 7:15Speaker 1: shout out to me, I'll be there post celebrating my
- 7:18Speaker 1: birthday with the one and only Carmen Teste and the
- 7:21Speaker 1: one the only Bernie Martin. So if you guys want
- 7:24Speaker 1: to say hi to us, we'll probably be there around
- 7:25Speaker 1: seven eight o'clock, having drinks, having fun. So come down
- 7:28Speaker 1: and see us, see the acoustic dudes. Yeah, yeah, it'll
- 7:33Speaker 1: be fun. Do you guys play the rooster? No, but
- 7:37Speaker 1: we do take you know I no, no no. So,
- 7:39Speaker 1: like me and Camp, he always request certain songs from
- 7:42Speaker 1: from bands when they come in. That's one of them.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Shiit what's the other one we do? I can't remember
- 7:49Speaker 1: it was. It was another Alis and Chain song that
- 7:52Speaker 1: Aaron Lewis covered very well. It's slower. Yeah, I can't
- 7:57Speaker 1: remember the name of ith anyway, I'm not prepared to We're.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Always we'd get a lot of requests and we always
- 8:03Speaker 3: do our best to learn them.
- 8:04Speaker 1: There's some of them are like, oh, we can't do this.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Do you know timpell Mary Well?
- 8:08Speaker 3: So, I was going to say part of my background,
- 8:10Speaker 3: I did take lessons from this guy a long time ago,
- 8:12Speaker 3: John Tomato, back in the nineties I think it was.
- 8:14Speaker 3: But recently, end of last year, I took lessons with
- 8:16Speaker 3: Tim Paull Marry Yeah, just to try to get my
- 8:19Speaker 3: I have a theory background in music and trying to
- 8:22Speaker 3: get the tie the two together because I basically learned
- 8:26Speaker 3: guitar by ear and now I just want to.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Understand more of what I'm doing right right, So it
- 8:31Speaker 1: was good. Yeah, he's fucking phenomenal. But he u for
- 8:35Speaker 1: years he had played there when he was with the
- 8:37Speaker 1: Breakfast and we'd like yeah because it's all original ship,
- 8:41Speaker 1: and we became friends and being campy and just fucking
- 8:45Speaker 1: we'd bust each other's balls. And then he finally learned
- 8:47Speaker 1: some like song like rock songs that he would kind
- 8:51Speaker 1: of dumb down acoustically, and all of a sudden, he'd
- 8:54Speaker 1: be like, halfway through the song, I'm like, camp I
- 8:56Speaker 1: think this is what we've been asking for five years.
- 8:58Speaker 1: You know. He super talented and what a great what
- 9:01Speaker 1: a great teacher to have.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great I mean it was intimidating
- 9:04Speaker 3: because I've known, you know, from playing for years and
- 9:07Speaker 3: he's he was friends with my brother a long time ago.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Uh but yeah, no, it was And it was great
- 9:12Speaker 3: to really get inside of his head musically, to you know,
- 9:15Speaker 3: see how he interprets it and sharing that information with me.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Right, So, which songs are you playing? Do you know? Yeah?
- 9:22Speaker 3: I think you will get together tomorrow and figure it out.
- 9:24Speaker 3: And actually we kind of you know, kind of see
- 9:26Speaker 3: through the pants stuff. You know, we we don't hide
- 9:28Speaker 3: the fact that we have a lot of songs. We
- 9:30Speaker 3: have a book in front of us. We'll go to him.
- 9:32Speaker 3: More is reference than anything else. You know, we pretty
- 9:35Speaker 3: much know our own songs, but playing for somebody else
- 9:39Speaker 3: in their songs.
- 9:40Speaker 1: To make sure we don't you guys have any originals.
- 9:42Speaker 3: No, No, it's something that you know, we're kind of
- 9:45Speaker 3: thinking about, you know, we're.
- 9:47Speaker 1: You know, you're like you can write about your times
- 9:49Speaker 1: of boozing and like Saturday night by the way, I
- 9:52Speaker 1: don't I don't know. Do you remember talking to me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 9:57Speaker 1: so you were talking about today and all alls you
- 10:01Speaker 1: said to me was and we're playing a couple of
- 10:03Speaker 1: philm songs. I can't wait. We got to talk about
- 10:05Speaker 1: it right now. And I'm like, we'll talk about it
- 10:08Speaker 1: another time. It's a little busy, buddy, And I was
- 10:13Speaker 1: just laughing it was, and then Zach Adelino came up.
- 10:16Speaker 1: He said, no, Tip's coming on it on Tuesday. I go, yeah, yeah,
- 10:20Speaker 1: he goes, oh yeah, he's excited. I go, yeah, I go.
- 10:22Speaker 1: It was just over here and I didn't understand a
- 10:24Speaker 1: word he was saying. So I said, I'll talk to
- 10:26Speaker 1: you on Tuesday. And if everyone, anyone like ever goes
- 10:31Speaker 1: to stone Bridge and like there's there's I don't know,
- 10:36Speaker 1: there's a lot of busy nights, Saturday nights, stay away.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It's just too fucking crazy. Oysterfest. Oyster Fest. But literally,
- 10:43Speaker 1: my favorite day it was Saturday. It always is. It's just,
- 10:48Speaker 1: you know, it's easy. It's you know, pooring Guinness and
- 10:51Speaker 1: porn shots to Jamo and Tully and Proper twelve and
- 10:55Speaker 1: you know, having a good time and everyone's in a
- 10:57Speaker 1: good mood and they just saw a parade and you know,
- 11:00Speaker 1: it's it's just, you know, and we're done. We're done early.
- 11:03Speaker 1: You know, I get to go out and have some
- 11:05Speaker 1: drinks after work. I just think it's and it's like
- 11:09Speaker 1: the kickoff the spring a little bit. You know. I
- 11:11Speaker 1: feel like the oyster Fest is busy, but I feel like,
- 11:13Speaker 1: you know, the next day, it's like, all right, summer's over.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Well now there's changes to it too. They fucked that
- 11:18Speaker 1: all up. That's another fucking thing. You know. My biggest
- 11:22Speaker 1: problem with that is, you know, they they claim they
- 11:27Speaker 1: didn't have enough help, but I never heard them ask
- 11:30Speaker 1: for help, and they didn't have enough volunteers. I never
- 11:33Speaker 1: heard them asking for volunteers. I'm not saying I'm the
- 11:35Speaker 1: guy that's going to go volunteer. I'm pretty busy myself,
- 11:37Speaker 1: but I mean I know people that would volunteer, you know,
- 11:42Speaker 1: especially that day just right, there was no plea for people.
- 11:46Speaker 1: And it just seems to your excuse, I'm just like,
- 11:48Speaker 1: the money's there, you know, pull back on the entertainment money.
- 11:53Speaker 1: You don't have to bring in fucking the lead singer
- 11:55Speaker 1: of Boston and Foreigner and all this shit, and you know,
- 11:59Speaker 1: just the rum runners play down there, have shot down,
- 12:02Speaker 1: played down there, acoustic dudes, the openers, let's go like,
- 12:06Speaker 1: you know what, and you know you're not going to
- 12:09Speaker 1: pull in a lot of this fucking super out of
- 12:11Speaker 1: town riff raft that comes in that you know, usually
- 12:14Speaker 1: the ones causing the problems. But I don't know, like
- 12:19Speaker 1: I just I just feel like Saturday, the Milford St.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Patria prayers, you know, and it's not it's not like
- 12:26Speaker 1: New Haven. It's a lot, you know, obviously it's a
- 12:28Speaker 1: lot smaller and there's not as many bars, but you
- 12:32Speaker 1: know what what bar? New Haven's like stone Bridge, you know.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I mean it was chilly outside, but once it got packed,
- 12:39Speaker 1: I took my sweatshirt off. I'm like, I was sweating,
- 12:41Speaker 1: you know, but it was it was it was a
- 12:44Speaker 1: fun time. We made the rounds. Everybody was pretty busy.
- 12:47Speaker 1: It was Yeah, I'm sure you made the rounds. Yeah,
- 12:50Speaker 1: we have paths. It's almost like Halloween. So I guess
- 12:53Speaker 1: technically the only real true Irish bar would be Colony, right,
- 12:57Speaker 1: Like they got the clover, you know, and I'm sure
- 13:00Speaker 1: they had corned beef pizza. Right. How was it good?
- 13:04Speaker 1: We took it home? I mean everyone was, you know,
- 13:06Speaker 1: thought seven Seas you know, in the past, but you know,
- 13:08Speaker 1: because it's got that puppy vibe to it. But really
- 13:11Speaker 1: there's nothing Irish about it. Archie Moores is you know,
- 13:16Speaker 1: not Irish at all, right, And I guess I guess
- 13:19Speaker 1: it'd be comedy. I don't know, it's weird that you
- 13:21Speaker 1: think about it. I mean, I mean, you have the
- 13:22Speaker 1: Irish Heritage Society, but there on the other side of
- 13:24Speaker 1: town and it's an Irish bar, but it's a club.
- 13:26Speaker 1: It's not an Irish bar. You know, you missed those
- 13:29Speaker 1: like you know the wooden bar tops, you know back
- 13:32Speaker 1: the beautiful backbars, and well.
- 13:35Speaker 3: My family has been associated with the nice to Saint
- 13:37Speaker 3: Patrick for years. My father was a past president. Yeah,
- 13:40Speaker 3: so we we'd always have that as part of our
- 13:43Speaker 3: parade day in New Haven. You know, there's always the
- 13:45Speaker 3: place that we'd end up. Then it was that's a
- 13:48Speaker 3: good it was a cool place to go.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually, so I went to stonebridg yesterday. I just
- 13:51Speaker 1: missed you, I guess, and I was just getting uh
- 13:55Speaker 1: you know. So Saturday was you know, obviously I was
- 13:56Speaker 1: busy and I haven't bar attended in like two months,
- 14:00Speaker 1: so I was sore, tired all that little hungover. Sunday
- 14:03Speaker 1: did nothing. It was great, just saut on the couch,
- 14:06Speaker 1: watched golf. They had the rain delay so it ended late,
- 14:09Speaker 1: went to better early, got up and went to work.
- 14:11Speaker 1: So yesterday I'm like, oh, you know what, let me
- 14:14Speaker 1: bring some corn beef home. I had a little bit
- 14:16Speaker 1: on Saturday, but I was really like, just this is
- 14:17Speaker 1: the one time a year I eat it. So I'm like, oh,
- 14:19Speaker 1: let me get it. So I got a sandwich for
- 14:21Speaker 1: the woman, and I just brought like regular corn beef
- 14:24Speaker 1: home like a platter for me and Braden. So I'm waiting.
- 14:29Speaker 1: So the bartenders are like, you know, Guinness in a
- 14:31Speaker 1: shower of Jamo, and I'm like, I mean, I got
- 14:35Speaker 1: to work in the morning and there was like a
- 14:37Speaker 1: couple sitting next to me. Didn't know them, and I
- 14:39Speaker 1: pretty much know everyone like during the week that's in there.
- 14:42Speaker 1: And they're like, really, dude, to Saint Patrick's day. And
- 14:44Speaker 1: I look over. I'm like, you know what, You're fucking right, right,
- 14:47Speaker 1: your goddamn right. But twenty five straight fucking years I've
- 14:50Speaker 1: been drinking on this day. I'm not stopping now. So
- 14:53Speaker 1: I had a Guinness in three shots of cham o.
- 14:56Speaker 1: But I'm such a lightweight now, like like I like
- 14:59Speaker 1: walked out of there. I'm like, I'm like lightheaded. Get
- 15:02Speaker 1: to the cargo home. Now. I'm out cooking out back,
- 15:06Speaker 1: you know, meal, prepping for a couple of lunches for
- 15:09Speaker 1: I cooked for Braiden for lunch for school, and I
- 15:12Speaker 1: you know, got the radio going. I'm on the deck
- 15:14Speaker 1: and fucking music's blaring and I'm just having another JMO
- 15:18Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, it sucks. I gotta get up
- 15:20Speaker 1: at four forty five. But I shut it down. I
- 15:23Speaker 1: shut it down. You know, I was in bed at
- 15:24Speaker 1: nine o'clock and that was up. I actually woke up
- 15:27Speaker 1: before my alarm this morning. I said, fucking I was
- 15:30Speaker 1: get up and whatever. You know. The beauty about the
- 15:32Speaker 1: job is, you know it is it's five eighths, but
- 15:36Speaker 1: I mean I can go in it. I go in
- 15:38Speaker 1: it from six to two is my schedule. But I
- 15:39Speaker 1: can go in at five thirty lego one thirty. I'm
- 15:41Speaker 1: going at six thirty leter two thirty. You know, like
- 15:44Speaker 1: I can come and go as I pleased during the day,
- 15:46Speaker 1: Like I ran out to the CVS and I came
- 15:47Speaker 1: back and I just stuff like that. You know, you know,
- 15:51Speaker 1: I what was your position? That's of course.
- 15:53Speaker 3: So the whole time I spent almost nineteen years there,
- 15:57Speaker 3: and the whole I started purchasing. But the whole time
- 16:00Speaker 3: I was there, I was involved in continuous improvement like
- 16:02Speaker 3: it was ACE back then.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Yeah they still like a black belt program. Yeah.
- 16:07Speaker 3: I got a blow back out my black belts exactly right.
- 16:10Speaker 3: So I started purchasing, and then I was a transformation
- 16:14Speaker 3: manager for Dynamic Components Product Center and then uh after that,
- 16:18Speaker 3: I created a department was capacity planning, so did that
- 16:22Speaker 3: for like three or four years after that.
- 16:24Speaker 1: So all of it had to do with like major
- 16:26Speaker 1: improvements in management all that.
- 16:27Speaker 3: So yeah, that was good. I mean I enjoyed it.
- 16:31Speaker 3: You know, met a lot of cool people there. I
- 16:34Speaker 3: worked for one guy for thirteen years while I was
- 16:36Speaker 3: there too, so we get to know each other.
- 16:38Speaker 1: We were in Strafford, right, yes, yeah.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, so we had a really good relationship.
- 16:43Speaker 3: We did a lot of cool things there and I
- 16:46Speaker 3: missed it, but you know, still getting and getting. I
- 16:50Speaker 3: don't know if you ever get totally acclimated to being retired,
- 16:54Speaker 3: you know, especially I mean I got laid off, but
- 16:56Speaker 3: it ended up.
- 16:57Speaker 1: You know, that's I chose that to take my nineteen
- 16:59Speaker 1: years and probably and your you were pension eligible, right
- 17:03Speaker 1: I no, no, oh, you were managed. Yeah, and at
- 17:05Speaker 1: that time there was pension.
- 17:07Speaker 3: But I rolled that over to my four o one
- 17:08Speaker 3: K when that time came, and being I wasn't there
- 17:10Speaker 3: for that long when that happened, gosh, that's what I
- 17:12Speaker 3: had to do.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's wild.
- 17:14Speaker 3: I mean, the people that worked there thirty five forty years,
- 17:16Speaker 3: it's it's it's insane.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I see, I see it. Yeah, you know, I've only
- 17:20Speaker 1: been there seven months, and I'm like, I see some
- 17:23Speaker 1: of these people that have just been there, like you said,
- 17:25Speaker 1: forty years. I got a couple of guys forty forty
- 17:26Speaker 1: five years and they don't even want to retire yet.
- 17:28Speaker 1: I'm like, what, yeah, you know, I mean, I mean,
- 17:31Speaker 1: the union side of it is fun. It's it's it's
- 17:35Speaker 1: I like, I don't know, I like I like the
- 17:38Speaker 1: people watch and I like to like get people's stories.
- 17:42Speaker 1: And I talked to a lot of my guys and like,
- 17:45Speaker 1: you know, how they started here and you know, literally
- 17:47Speaker 1: the early eighties, you know, think about it, the early eighties,
- 17:52Speaker 1: you know, but they didn't have computers here, they didn't
- 17:54Speaker 1: have Everything was handwritten, and they're building helicopters, you know,
- 17:59Speaker 1: and it probably flowed more smoothly back then than it
- 18:01Speaker 1: does now. And I made a lot more.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's amazing to think about,
- 18:08Speaker 3: you know, how much was made with the lesser technology.
- 18:13Speaker 3: And when I got there, they had just started they
- 18:15Speaker 3: switched from their homegrown system to SAP. So I was
- 18:19Speaker 3: part of that transition to but yeah, now, and and
- 18:24Speaker 3: to think of all the people that went through all
- 18:25Speaker 3: of those different changes that have been there.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Right. I knew a guy who worked there for fifty years,
- 18:29Speaker 1: which is it's amazing. Yeah. So, I mean it's it's
- 18:33Speaker 1: you know, these guys they have the pension for one k,
- 18:36Speaker 1: and I'm just like, yeah, dude, cash out and enjoy
- 18:39Speaker 1: your life. And there was a time where they don't know.
- 18:42Speaker 1: You just don't know. No, absolutely, I have a you know,
- 18:45Speaker 1: a friend of somebody just passed away yesterday and the
- 18:48Speaker 1: sixties and it's just like, you know, like these guys
- 18:53Speaker 1: are working, work and work. I mean I've heard story.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I mean a lot of these guys have been in
- 18:57Speaker 1: that long, have seen people die in that place, strokes
- 19:00Speaker 1: or heart attack. It's the city, yeah, I mean there's
- 19:03Speaker 1: everything there.
- 19:04Speaker 3: I mean you could eat there, you can go to
- 19:05Speaker 3: the doctor there, you can do a lot of stuff.
- 19:07Speaker 1: It's one. Well I'm in the country club though I'm
- 19:10Speaker 1: over in Shelton. Strafford. Yeah, Strafford, the city. We're a
- 19:14Speaker 1: little loud. I think we have one hundred and eighty employees.
- 19:17Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah. Yeah. So but still, like you know,
- 19:19Speaker 1: the guys have been there. I mean a lot of
- 19:20Speaker 1: people will bounce between the plants as well. But yeah,
- 19:25Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's it's quite an experience. I've done it,
- 19:29Speaker 1: you know. I was obviously storms for a long time,
- 19:31Speaker 1: but done a lot of hospitality jobs and jobs over
- 19:34Speaker 1: the years, and this one's up. So I'm a supervisor.
- 19:40Speaker 1: I supervised right now for the rework department of the
- 19:43Speaker 1: bond department, Bond super small. It's like two guys, like
- 19:48Speaker 1: I have like twenty total employees under me, but I
- 19:52Speaker 1: just started, so that's that's kind of like the entry
- 19:54Speaker 1: point then, and then I'll get into an I P.
- 19:57Speaker 1: T room like a you know, like a final assembly
- 19:59Speaker 1: like the rotors and transmissions or hydraulics upstairs. So you know,
- 20:05Speaker 1: it's a lot to learn. I mean, you know, who
- 20:08Speaker 1: really knows about helicopters. But it's not working, and you know, are.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Just and again going to continue to improvement all the processes, right,
- 20:16Speaker 3: and and really the process of learning how to fix
- 20:18Speaker 3: the problems is really what I had focused on for
- 20:21Speaker 3: the most of the.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Time I was there.
- 20:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and and there is there's a right way to
- 20:25Speaker 3: do it and there's a wrong way to do it.
- 20:27Speaker 3: You know, it's all about the you know, problem statement
- 20:29Speaker 3: root cause correct dive action and figure out if it's
- 20:32Speaker 3: going to work or not. So we did a lot
- 20:34Speaker 3: of that stuff. That's how you end up getting a
- 20:35Speaker 3: black belt because a lot of those projects and all.
- 20:38Speaker 1: But that it's it's a great place, you know now
- 20:40Speaker 1: being owned by Lockheed Martin. Obviously that's all I know.
- 20:43Speaker 1: But I could see the past, you know, when it
- 20:45Speaker 1: was just the course KI and then it was what
- 20:48Speaker 1: U t.
- 20:49Speaker 3: Ut technology and they actually with their ACE program, they
- 20:53Speaker 3: were very you.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Know on top of you.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Pratt Whitney was where that all came out of and
- 20:59Speaker 3: they they'd come and they say they'd assess us, but
- 21:02Speaker 3: it was an audit every time, you know.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Right right, you know, it's uh, he's fucking honist man.
- 21:07Speaker 1: I tell you, I've been involved with a lot of monk.
- 21:11Speaker 1: All right, How the hell did shees pop up? Anyway?
- 21:16Speaker 1: So yeah, that's our Sikorsky stories. So before we get
- 21:21Speaker 1: into another topic, I want to go back to music
- 21:23Speaker 1: a little bit and talk about something that I tried
- 21:27Speaker 1: to talk about when Phil was on the show, and
- 21:29Speaker 1: he was a little hesitant and you know, it's political
- 21:31Speaker 1: for him and it's neighborly for him, so he didn't
- 21:34Speaker 1: want to get too far into it, but I don't
- 21:36Speaker 1: give a fuck because if it affects my wallet and
- 21:41Speaker 1: other people's wallets, that's that's that's where you're pissing me off.
- 21:46Speaker 1: So the guy that owns a couple of restaurants in
- 21:49Speaker 1: downtown has put up some banners outside his restaurant. Basically
- 21:54Speaker 1: they were kind of vague in the beginning, but we
- 21:56Speaker 1: knew he was directed right at stone Bridge about having
- 21:59Speaker 1: live music or a DJ outside on the patio. And
- 22:04Speaker 1: I don't I could be wrong in this, but I
- 22:07Speaker 1: don't know if he dug up like an old blue
- 22:10Speaker 1: law kind of thing that prevented like like basically was
- 22:14Speaker 1: saying like you can't do this. But for whatever reason,
- 22:20Speaker 1: I think, you know, I'll give him credit. I mean,
- 22:22Speaker 1: I think he was right. Like whatever the rules were
- 22:25Speaker 1: that never got amended over the years, that was the rule.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Can't have you know, and this affects you tim you know,
- 22:32Speaker 1: like if archies can't have it out on their deck,
- 22:34Speaker 1: you know, you're not going to play there. If we
- 22:36Speaker 1: can't have it out on our deck on Friday, you
- 22:38Speaker 1: can't play there. So you're not only affecting, you know,
- 22:42Speaker 1: the restaurant you're affecting the independent music makers, the people
- 22:48Speaker 1: that you know, the bands that bring bring the crowds.
- 22:50Speaker 1: You're then you're affecting the employees there. And it's just
- 22:54Speaker 1: one thing I always say in the restaurant business, I
- 22:58Speaker 1: really feel we're the people that keep the economy going
- 23:01Speaker 1: because we're the ones with the cash, whether one not
- 23:03Speaker 1: that we're rich or anything, but we always have cash
- 23:05Speaker 1: on us. We're always spending because we see people spend.
- 23:07Speaker 1: It's just a mentality that especially down there.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Yeah, and the camaraderie, you know, I don't know, for
- 23:11Speaker 3: a lot of places like downtown Milford, we used to
- 23:14Speaker 3: see you guys and Elis all the time day over there.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of cross pollination of absolutely, you know.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Like that's why I hated seeing Elis leave. I'm like,
- 23:23Speaker 1: I'm more the merrier, you know. So whatever. So, so
- 23:26Speaker 1: banner one was basically so then he put up two
- 23:31Speaker 1: banners and I'm trying to remember what they said. It was, Oh,
- 23:39Speaker 1: he wanted us. He wanted us to pay He wanted
- 23:43Speaker 1: us to pay fines for every time we had a
- 23:45Speaker 1: band dating back to two thousand or something like shouldn't
- 23:49Speaker 1: I mean, if they broke the law all this time,
- 23:51Speaker 1: blah blah blah. So that's what like the first one,
- 23:54Speaker 1: I right, dude, whatever, second one? All right, now you're
- 23:57Speaker 1: trying to like really be a dick and and in
- 24:01Speaker 1: And this guy has made a nice little business for himself.
- 24:05Speaker 1: He built those nice luxury apartments upstairs. He's got two restaurants.
- 24:10Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. You know, Eli's closed.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I mean this guy that I mean I am. I'm
- 24:17Speaker 1: not just saying Stonebridge, but C's an SBC ARCHI more.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Every every bar downtown has their little niche, you know
- 24:27Speaker 1: the ones that are still there. And there's a bunch
- 24:29Speaker 1: of citrus and Archies and you know the Burger place.
- 24:33Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, flip side. You know, like you
- 24:37Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to get the rent you're getting in
- 24:40Speaker 1: these apartments if it wasn't for the places like us.
- 24:43Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, Sundays in the summer
- 24:47Speaker 1: would be absolutely dead in downtown Milford if it wasn't
- 24:50Speaker 1: for the bands of Stormage. I'm sorry, it just would
- 24:52Speaker 1: Like we draw so many people that every restaurant gets overflow.
- 24:59Speaker 1: It does. It's just a fact. And so the third
- 25:03Speaker 1: sign he put up which was up for the parade
- 25:06Speaker 1: on Saturday, was basically calling us out that we wanted
- 25:10Speaker 1: all the all the crowds, all the attention, all the customers,
- 25:14Speaker 1: and fuck Citrus, fuck my bar, fuck this, fuck that. Well,
- 25:18Speaker 1: now this guy is trying to pin us against our
- 25:21Speaker 1: friends in town. We get along with everybody, everybody. You know,
- 25:27Speaker 1: there might be some personal peace between you know, employees
- 25:29Speaker 1: from other employees, but whatever, that's dog shit. Who cares.
- 25:33Speaker 1: But business wise, SBC need something or Elis we were
- 25:37Speaker 1: big with, or you know my bar needs some or
- 25:39Speaker 1: we need something from them or sit like we all like,
- 25:41Speaker 1: all right, well help each other out, just bring people downtown, right.
- 25:45Speaker 1: And this guy, I don't know where he's coming from
- 25:47Speaker 1: with this. So there's a hearing in April. Oh really, yeah,
- 25:51Speaker 1: like this first or second week of April, there's a
- 25:52Speaker 1: hearing hearing with the Planning and Zoning Board about I
- 25:56Speaker 1: don't know if they have to amend it, it has to
- 25:58Speaker 1: go to a vote. I don't know where there's no
- 26:00Speaker 1: to it.
- 26:00Speaker 3: That's the one that he referred to in that initial posting,
- 26:03Speaker 3: the five point five point eight. Yeah, I mean it
- 26:06Speaker 3: talks about decks, It talks about adhering speakers to decks.
- 26:10Speaker 3: It's really I mean, it's it looks like it was
- 26:12Speaker 3: written in a couple of minutes.
- 26:13Speaker 1: I have it here, So I'm pretty sure our lawyers
- 26:16Speaker 1: are like, just put a band outside the fuck it? Yeah,
- 26:17Speaker 1: you know, but you know we want to We're not
- 26:21Speaker 1: there yet. I think we want to put all our
- 26:23Speaker 1: ducks in a row before the summer really starts. You know,
- 26:26Speaker 1: like we had a really good day Saturday without the band, right,
- 26:28Speaker 1: you know. So you know, I hate to like brag
- 26:34Speaker 1: on stone Bridge, but like they're they're they're just a
- 26:37Speaker 1: well oiled machine. Everyone's been working there forever. We I mean,
- 26:43Speaker 1: you know, I've been working with Campy for you know,
- 26:45Speaker 1: over twenty years. It's like we don't need to fucking
- 26:48Speaker 1: talk all night, especially after all these years. Yeah, and
- 26:50Speaker 1: now it's a problem, right right now you come up
- 26:53Speaker 1: with this.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're talking ten fifteen years that it's
- 26:56Speaker 3: not been a problem all of a sudden it's the problem.
- 26:58Speaker 1: And who the fuck rents in a downtown area? First
- 27:01Speaker 1: of all, I can't understand Friday Saturday night, a cool night,
- 27:05Speaker 1: your windows are open and the DJ is playing loud. Fine, whatever,
- 27:09Speaker 1: it's annoying whatever, but you're downtown and it's the fucking weekend.
- 27:12Speaker 1: But Sundays we have the live bands that can get
- 27:15Speaker 1: really loud, but they're done at eight o'clock. The whole
- 27:19Speaker 1: town is shut down by nine. There's nothing going on.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Maybe my bar is open for a few people or
- 27:23Speaker 1: archies with a few people, but that's it. Like we're
- 27:26Speaker 1: not fucking guy. This guy's really getting under my Like
- 27:29Speaker 1: I've known this guy for a long time. So when
- 27:32Speaker 1: we had Daniel Street back in the day, great music scene,
- 27:35Speaker 1: check it out, go go go look at the old
- 27:37Speaker 1: archives of showing the ship we had there. He used
- 27:40Speaker 1: to fight with Phil on the street like screaming matches,
- 27:42Speaker 1: and we would let him use the driveway that our dumpster,
- 27:46Speaker 1: you know, and he would just like Tuesday nights like
- 27:48Speaker 1: Phil would like bring in like these heavy metal bands
- 27:51Speaker 1: and uh, it would just I think he lived there then,
- 27:54Speaker 1: like he lived in that building. Then he would just
- 27:56Speaker 1: like freak out and like I don't know, just I
- 28:00Speaker 1: just think this guy is like like like I said
- 28:02Speaker 1: to you before the show, like people are just coming
- 28:04Speaker 1: up to me like, oh my god, they fucking you
- 28:07Speaker 1: don't have a band because of this guy, and I'm like, yeah,
- 28:09Speaker 1: I know that's guy's fucking ruining for everybody. So like
- 28:12Speaker 1: we're never going there again. I just think he's gonna
- 28:13Speaker 1: bite him in the ass. And like let's say, like okay,
- 28:17Speaker 1: let's say you even win the hearing and it's this
- 28:19Speaker 1: is it moving forward? He's probably put another sign up.
- 28:22Speaker 1: This is you know, like, dude, I'm telling you, this
- 28:27Speaker 1: is gonna bite him in the ass. Yeah.
- 28:28Speaker 3: I don't get it. I really don't. Again, after all
- 28:31Speaker 3: this time, why is it an issue now? And look,
- 28:33Speaker 3: you think think about nois downtown. There's trains going through
- 28:36Speaker 3: all I.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Live over in Baffa West. Have I hear trains every
- 28:40Speaker 1: day rolling up past the Great River? Yea, so now town,
- 28:47Speaker 1: Yeah yeah that was like a lamp thing back in
- 28:50Speaker 1: the day. He approved all that coming through. But yeah, yeah,
- 28:55Speaker 1: this guy was my douche of the week that week.
- 28:59Speaker 1: But man, I don't know, it's uh, if you're a
- 29:04Speaker 1: downtown mill for just when you drive up you know,
- 29:06Speaker 1: I guess it's is that still Cherry Street. No, we're
- 29:10Speaker 1: in the river River just you know when you come
- 29:12Speaker 1: under the railroad bridge, just you're heading up the hill,
- 29:14Speaker 1: towards Archie. Just look look to your left and you'll
- 29:16Speaker 1: see the signs of this dude's window. And it's just
- 29:19Speaker 1: it's just obnoxious. And uh, you know, I hate to
- 29:23Speaker 1: generalize a French person, but we call him Frenchy for
- 29:28Speaker 1: a reason.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens at the hearing,
- 29:31Speaker 3: right because the thing that he's referred to is just
- 29:33Speaker 3: such a it's just so light.
- 29:36Speaker 1: It doesn't it doesn't like indicate anything of what he's
- 29:39Speaker 1: been talking about.
- 29:40Speaker 3: As like you can interpret it that it's different ways.
- 29:43Speaker 3: It's about decks. I mean in the title of it
- 29:45Speaker 3: it talks about decks. There's no decks. It's a patio.
- 29:47Speaker 1: You know, you can tear apart, right So I think
- 29:50Speaker 1: that's what we're doing right now with our lawyers, is
- 29:52Speaker 1: trying to tear it apart and not just you know,
- 29:55Speaker 1: just let's just let it. We don't need it right now.
- 29:58Speaker 1: You know, this guy really wanted to do something you
- 30:00Speaker 1: should have done it in like fucking you know, Memorial
- 30:02Speaker 1: Day weekend and tried to shut us down if you
- 30:04Speaker 1: want to, the end of last last summer, it seemed
- 30:07Speaker 1: like it started to Yeah, yeah, I don't get it.
- 30:11Speaker 1: I don't know, like you know, he gets business from
- 30:14Speaker 1: us like that? Just I mean again, you build these
- 30:18Speaker 1: apartments up there, people that live above Eli's new Not
- 30:26Speaker 1: only did you get the noise from Stonebridge across the street,
- 30:28Speaker 1: but then you get the thumping from from the acoustic
- 30:32Speaker 1: do it from all or beat Buddy packs a punch man.
- 30:38Speaker 1: So so you walked in and this is something I
- 30:40Speaker 1: rarely talk about on this show, but sports cards you
- 30:45Speaker 1: said you sent some stuff out the p s as
- 30:46Speaker 1: you can see. I guess way too much money spent
- 30:50Speaker 1: in this room on this ship. But I love it.
- 30:55Speaker 1: I don't know, it's weird. It's like when I was
- 30:56Speaker 1: a kid, it was just you're trying to find a
- 30:58Speaker 1: favorite player, and now it's it's almost like a business.
- 31:02Speaker 1: You know, they're like stocks, really it is. You know,
- 31:05Speaker 1: it's a little bit of gambling too. It's gambling when
- 31:08Speaker 1: you buy the packs. I think it's more business investment wise.
- 31:13Speaker 1: When you buy a certain card online through eBay or
- 31:15Speaker 1: McCarty or whatever site you're on, you can really like
- 31:19Speaker 1: zoom in and like me, the key to cards is
- 31:23Speaker 1: if you want to make it as an as a business,
- 31:27Speaker 1: like you could take a all right, what card you
- 31:31Speaker 1: could take that Drake May silver, right, the Prism silver
- 31:33Speaker 1: on the left there next to the blue one. So
- 31:36Speaker 1: that card is probably I don't know, sixty bucks raw, right,
- 31:41Speaker 1: but if that grades a ten, that's easily four or
- 31:44Speaker 1: five hundred. So the Jaden Daniels silver of that is
- 31:49Speaker 1: three hundred dollars raw graded a ten, it's like seventeen hundred.
- 31:54Speaker 1: So if you look online and you know, again you're
- 31:58Speaker 1: kind of at the wheel of is the I actually
- 32:00Speaker 1: sending you the exact card is showing, then there is
- 32:03Speaker 1: that risk to it. But you know, you think it's
- 32:07Speaker 1: a ten, you know, and it's only cost you twenty
- 32:10Speaker 1: five hours to send it out. You know, if the
- 32:13Speaker 1: Jane Daniels comes back, you have to pay extra for PSA,
- 32:16Speaker 1: which sucks, which is so stupid. Card's a card, you know,
- 32:20Speaker 1: just create the fucking thing, but get it back. I
- 32:24Speaker 1: mean you fucking throw around an eBay. Yeah, exactly right.
- 32:27Speaker 1: You know, if you get a nine, you're almost you know,
- 32:30Speaker 1: you're still a little bit over the raw value. But
- 32:33Speaker 1: it sucks that, you know, grading itself is fucking crazy industry.
- 32:38Speaker 3: I've studied that too. All of the things that can
- 32:41Speaker 3: go wrong making a ten to nine. It's so like
- 32:45Speaker 3: minuscule that you know, it kind of gets to be
- 32:48Speaker 3: subjective and not objective, right, So yeah, I'm interested to
- 32:52Speaker 3: see I sign a couple out of us telling you
- 32:54Speaker 3: through game stop and it takes a while.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, PSA is the busiest one.
- 33:00Speaker 3: There's something on their website now they're saying that they're
- 33:02Speaker 3: trying to hire people and they're way way behind. So yeah,
- 33:05Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to I told you I sent some
- 33:08Speaker 3: obscure late seventies baseball cards that I had looked up
- 33:12Speaker 3: on PSA and worth you know, a few hundred dollars.
- 33:14Speaker 3: So if you know, even if it's a nine, I'm
- 33:16Speaker 3: not going to lose money on it, by no. Yeah,
- 33:21Speaker 3: you know youly eight.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Is probably still gonna more. Yeah, So you know, we'll
- 33:26Speaker 1: see what happens.
- 33:27Speaker 3: And I don't know where it's gonna say me, but
- 33:28Speaker 3: like you said, yes, stocks, and you know, I since
- 33:32Speaker 3: I've been retired, you know, I've been my own portfolio manager.
- 33:36Speaker 1: So you know, I do watch a lot of.
- 33:38Speaker 3: You know, CNBC, and and you know follow that as
- 33:42Speaker 3: closely as now. It looks like I'll be following cards
- 33:45Speaker 3: once I get through the process.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Yeah, see how it goes. No, it's uh, I mean
- 33:49Speaker 1: it's fun. I love chasing I entered. I don't know
- 33:51Speaker 1: if you want to get in some breaks. I got
- 33:53Speaker 1: some two good guys that do them through Facebook. You know.
- 33:56Speaker 1: They're pretty cheap, like thirty bucks a slot. Yeah, nothing crazy.
- 34:01Speaker 1: There's a lot of different ways to look at it.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Like you can do breaks, you know, then you do
- 34:06Speaker 1: a break, you do it like four times, you're like,
- 34:08Speaker 1: oh shit, you know, I just spent one hundred and
- 34:09Speaker 1: twenty dollars when I could have bought a hobby box,
- 34:11Speaker 1: you know, gotten every card in it. You know, So
- 34:13Speaker 1: it depends. I just of course I do everything, so
- 34:16Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You know. My girlfriend's like, you know,
- 34:20Speaker 1: when I finally moved out of the studio and bring
- 34:22Speaker 1: them home, she's like Jesus Christ, like she knows, but
- 34:25Speaker 1: like she doesn't know, you know what I mean. But yeah,
- 34:30Speaker 1: like it's I mean, the rule of thumb to me is,
- 34:34Speaker 1: you know, obviously a ten. It depends what you want
- 34:36Speaker 1: to do. If you want to p see everything, basically
- 34:38Speaker 1: personal collection. It doesn't matter really what grade you get.
- 34:42Speaker 1: You know, you just want it in the case, you know,
- 34:44Speaker 1: you obviously you want the ten, but like if an
- 34:46Speaker 1: eight or nine comes it, well, if you're in the
- 34:49Speaker 1: business of it, I mean, ten is obviously what you want.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Nine is all right, just in your head, consider yourself
- 34:56Speaker 1: breaking even you get a little more because it's in
- 34:58Speaker 1: the case eight. Honestly, you're better off cracking it open
- 35:02Speaker 1: and either trying to regrade it if you're really confident
- 35:05Speaker 1: that it could get a nine or a ten, because
- 35:08Speaker 1: all this shit is really subjective. I mean, I have
- 35:11Speaker 1: some tens in this room. I'll show you after the
- 35:12Speaker 1: show that. I mean, they're not even centered in their tens.
- 35:14Speaker 1: That's fucking weird. Like a lot of my lebron rookies
- 35:17Speaker 1: up there, they're all fucking they're not PSA. But I
- 35:21Speaker 1: was thinking of cracking them and send them to PSA
- 35:23Speaker 1: because they would just increase the value. Like this thing's
- 35:25Speaker 1: gonna come back at seven. Like you know, it's like
- 35:27Speaker 1: it could be some hungover dude with a magnifying glass
- 35:31Speaker 1: and he's either like in a good mood or in
- 35:33Speaker 1: a bad road, or like you just don't know, Like
- 35:36Speaker 1: I want to take like a I want to take
- 35:38Speaker 1: a ten like that I have. That's like of no
- 35:41Speaker 1: value and just send it in a couple like as
- 35:44Speaker 1: an experiment. Send it, crack it, send it, crack it,
- 35:47Speaker 1: send it to a different company and see what they
- 35:49Speaker 1: do just this. I'm sure there are people that do
- 35:51Speaker 1: it on the internet, but I haven't seen it yet.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Well that's why I said. The ones I sent look
- 35:54Speaker 1: pretty good.
- 35:54Speaker 3: You know, I'm not a great but I would say
- 35:57Speaker 3: to me, you know, that looks like a ten based
- 35:59Speaker 3: on the criteria that I've I've studied, so we'll see
- 36:02Speaker 3: what happens when it comes back.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, those seventies cards, I mean, your edges were good.
- 36:07Speaker 1: They weren't flailed at all.
- 36:11Speaker 3: So I told you, I created a spreadsheet with the
- 36:13Speaker 3: link to the cards and all, and I made notes
- 36:15Speaker 3: on them where you know, it might have been if
- 36:18Speaker 3: it was a ten worth a lot, but it's it's
- 36:20Speaker 3: definitely not.
- 36:21Speaker 1: It's trash. So I'm not going to do anything with those.
- 36:24Speaker 1: But yeah, but yeah, no, they're they're all in pretty
- 36:27Speaker 1: good shape. I used to buy tens online and then
- 36:31Speaker 1: I realized, you know, if you if you buy a
- 36:34Speaker 1: ten online, you've got to make sure the player is
- 36:36Speaker 1: really good and that he has room to grow in value.
- 36:42Speaker 1: If you're buying tens online. It's like, you know, I
- 36:45Speaker 1: don't know. Let's say you bought a Kenny picket. I
- 36:48Speaker 1: have a Kenny picket fucking zebra up there that I
- 36:52Speaker 1: broke open and I grated it and it came back
- 36:55Speaker 1: a ten. And at the time it was the pop one.
- 36:57Speaker 1: It was the only only ten of that car. And
- 37:01Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, and then he sucked. Now he's just
- 37:05Speaker 1: like I did say though he was he was the
- 37:07Speaker 1: last quarterback on the field in the Super Bowl, and
- 37:11Speaker 1: now it was I probably could have gotten oh god,
- 37:14Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen hundred for it if I sold the beginning
- 37:16Speaker 1: of two years ago and I just held it, and
- 37:21Speaker 1: now it's probably worth one hundred bucks, you know. But
- 37:25Speaker 1: I mean, but but you look at like a guy
- 37:26Speaker 1: with Gino Smith, like it's just he was like gone
- 37:29Speaker 1: from the league, Sam Darnold, gone from the league, and
- 37:31Speaker 1: then here they are fucking some of the highest peak
- 37:33Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. Well, and then also situationally in football,
- 37:36Speaker 1: you never.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Know, and the cards you're talking about, some of them
- 37:38Speaker 3: are still playing, so they change change, you know, And
- 37:42Speaker 3: with me, it's you know, these are all old cards that.
- 37:45Speaker 1: I got the macis they have them die or something,
- 37:49Speaker 1: the mac Jones Optic Downtown there. Ye. I actually bought
- 37:52Speaker 1: that raw online for three point fifty. It graded a ten.
- 37:56Speaker 1: I was like, yes, but I'm such a fucking Patriot guy.
- 38:00Speaker 1: That CARDI worth fucking hundred bucks. Nice, that's just just
- 38:05Speaker 1: a keeper now, I'm not I'm not gonna do anything
- 38:07Speaker 1: with it. But again, he his career, so he went
- 38:10Speaker 1: to Uh, he just he's not in Jackson. He's not
- 38:13Speaker 1: backing up Lawrence anymore. He went, oh, he went to
- 38:16Speaker 1: San Francisco. Yeah, so, like honestly, Rock Party one Injury
- 38:20Speaker 1: Wave and starting with it. You know, you got some
- 38:22Speaker 1: good players around here, well you used to. They're trading
- 38:24Speaker 1: everybody away, right, Yeah, It's just fun. I watch it
- 38:29Speaker 1: every day. I you know, there's some real creeps in
- 38:32Speaker 1: the industry though, you know, and unfortunately I know I
- 38:36Speaker 1: get into breaks, but it's small time. But like these
- 38:38Speaker 1: big time breakers, they're ruining the industry. They get it's
- 38:42Speaker 1: almost like they have a deal with Tops and they
- 38:46Speaker 1: have a deal with Pannini. And you know, it's funny
- 38:50Speaker 1: every I troll every every site on on Facebook because
- 38:54Speaker 1: every big card gets opened on camera. Everyone and it's like, actually,
- 39:01Speaker 1: I think the only one that didn't was the kid
- 39:03Speaker 1: that got the Schemes card. But all the one of ones,
- 39:07Speaker 1: all the big hits, all the fucking Lebron Logo man cards,
- 39:11Speaker 1: like all these cards that are worth hundreds of thousands
- 39:13Speaker 1: of dollars are some miraculously filmed when they're opened, you know,
- 39:18Speaker 1: so that they got to deal with these kinds they
- 39:20Speaker 1: didn't have to. And it's all the same guy's backyard
- 39:23Speaker 1: breaks and whatnot and not whatnot? Is it what not? Not? Sports? Uh?
- 39:29Speaker 1: Filth bomb breaks. These are the big breakers that you know,
- 39:31Speaker 1: it costs hundreds of dollars to get one slot, right,
- 39:34Speaker 1: you know, just to get in because they're they're busting.
- 39:36Speaker 1: I mean, granted they are busting through a lot of product,
- 39:40Speaker 1: but you know, you never hear the story of maybe
- 39:43Speaker 1: that kid, but you know, just some kid, random kid
- 39:46Speaker 1: pulling a or an adult pulling a you know, I
- 39:48Speaker 1: get hobby boxes. I would every once in a while, I.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Was visiting on my buddy in Delaware and he had
- 39:53Speaker 3: he had a package. I just opened it and he
- 39:55Speaker 3: opened it and it was worth opening.
- 39:56Speaker 1: He had a few things. I opened one the other day.
- 39:59Speaker 1: It was two hundred and fifty bucks illusions and actually
- 40:03Speaker 1: I have him. I'll show him after Like I nothing
- 40:06Speaker 1: of I think I made my money back in the box,
- 40:10Speaker 1: but nothing. The coolest card I got was like a
- 40:15Speaker 1: Barry Sanders and Jamior Gibbs dual patch was an autographed
- 40:20Speaker 1: but it was numbered. They're like ninety nine. It was.
- 40:22Speaker 1: It was just cool car, Barry Sanders on and ship.
- 40:24Speaker 1: But I don't know, it's weird. It's a weird hobby.
- 40:28Speaker 1: It's kind of down right now. So I'm hoping, you know,
- 40:31Speaker 1: it had the big boom in COVID because all the
- 40:33Speaker 1: big fucking, you know money dude to New York had
- 40:36Speaker 1: nothing to do, so they started buying cards. What are
- 40:39Speaker 1: you saying? The volume?
- 40:40Speaker 3: I was going through cards and so many cards, and
- 40:43Speaker 3: I'd look it up and you know, sometimes having a
- 40:45Speaker 3: few beers and doing it's like this guy, I don't
- 40:47Speaker 3: even know who he is, he's worth five hundred dollars.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Really?
- 40:51Speaker 3: Yeah, the seventies, the late seventy cards, it was like
- 40:55Speaker 3: going like treasure hunting, and it was it was amazing,
- 40:58Speaker 3: you know. And then he got the Reggie Jacks and
- 41:00Speaker 3: stuff that is in there they worked, you know, ten
- 41:01Speaker 3: fifteen dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got it. We got
- 41:04Speaker 3: a few good ones and my dad so.
- 41:07Speaker 1: That's Ted Williams card, so that's his second year. I
- 41:12Speaker 1: think like a PSA seven might be worth it's not
- 41:16Speaker 1: a really big card. It might be worth like, you know,
- 41:20Speaker 1: a couple of hundred bucks. But this card was my
- 41:26Speaker 1: dad did a my dad did a book report in
- 41:31Speaker 1: high school and he taped it or glued to the
- 41:35Speaker 1: back of the bay. So the back is all fucked up.
- 41:39Speaker 1: So I'm not even gonna send it in. But when
- 41:40Speaker 1: I was a kid, it was that's the second year card.
- 41:42Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. From the forties. When I was a kid,
- 41:45Speaker 1: it was putting them on your bikes. Yeah, and ship
- 41:50Speaker 1: many cards and it's the only way to fucking dilute
- 41:52Speaker 1: the fucking the amount of the cards that are out there,
- 41:56Speaker 1: and tops is right back attitude. They are printing like
- 42:00Speaker 1: two million base of each of each player of bass cards,
- 42:05Speaker 1: like it's like come on, yeah, and they're charging exorbitant
- 42:09Speaker 1: amount of them. I mean you can get you know,
- 42:10Speaker 1: you can get a little blaster pack for thirty nine
- 42:13Speaker 1: ninety nine and there might be one good card in it.
- 42:15Speaker 1: It's probably some dude you never heard of, you know,
- 42:19Speaker 1: But yeah.
- 42:20Speaker 3: With mine, I went all the way from the mid
- 42:22Speaker 3: to late seventies, all the way through the eighties, early nineties.
- 42:24Speaker 3: I didn't touch anything that was later than eighty eighty
- 42:27Speaker 3: one to do the analysis of So I got all
- 42:29Speaker 3: those at some point to go through eventually.
- 42:31Speaker 1: And so are you into the newer stuff or you
- 42:34Speaker 1: just now? But I don't know where it's going to go.
- 42:37Speaker 3: Like I said, you know, it's all a processed thing
- 42:39Speaker 3: for me to try to figure out how it works
- 42:41Speaker 3: and then you know, determine what to do after that.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think the easiest way to make
- 42:46Speaker 1: money is, you know, is to buy raw and try
- 42:49Speaker 1: a great.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Amount, right. And I think you know the hunt, the
- 42:52Speaker 3: part of it that you go through, Yeah, you know,
- 42:55Speaker 3: that's a cool thing too. I did read a book
- 42:56Speaker 3: about it, and it spent a lot more time on
- 42:58Speaker 3: that stuff than it did just kind of the treasure
- 43:01Speaker 3: hunting thing, right doing, Right, But yeah, I mean it's
- 43:04Speaker 3: interesting too. It might be something, you know, And like
- 43:06Speaker 3: I said, I still have you know, shitload with the
- 43:08Speaker 3: after go through from the eighties and nineties, which as
- 43:11Speaker 3: time goes on. You know they could because they all
- 43:14Speaker 3: baseball mostly now it's all different sports, but mostly baseball.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Maybe you got a little football, some basketball, maybe a
- 43:21Speaker 1: little Jordan in there. I look through all of them.
- 43:24Speaker 3: I didn't see that, and then there's like these little
- 43:27Speaker 3: baseball stickers, Like, yeah, it's crazy. There's so much different
- 43:30Speaker 3: stuff and I didn't even know that a lot of
- 43:32Speaker 3: that stuff was being sold. As you go through the
- 43:34Speaker 3: PSA list, like what you'll do. What I would do
- 43:37Speaker 3: is the name and then the card number, and sometimes
- 43:39Speaker 3: it will come right up, and if it didn't, you
- 43:41Speaker 3: have to go searching through and then all these different
- 43:45Speaker 3: types of cards, you know, the manufacturers and things I
- 43:48Speaker 3: didn't even know anything about.
- 43:49Speaker 1: It's crazy now because you could take like, I don't
- 43:53Speaker 1: know any card. Take the mac Jones one, right, they
- 43:57Speaker 1: call you know what a rainbow is? So a rainbow
- 43:59Speaker 1: is like that card, right, there's a base of it,
- 44:04Speaker 1: and then there's all these parallels, which is the same
- 44:06Speaker 1: picture of the guy but different backgrounds, colors, designs, whatever.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Somebody posted on Instagram or Twitter, like a year ago
- 44:16Speaker 1: it was a Lebron James. He was chasing the rainbow.
- 44:20Speaker 1: There was like seventy two different variations of that one card,
- 44:24Speaker 1: and and there's a one of one of it, there's
- 44:27Speaker 1: a one of five of it, there's a one of
- 44:29Speaker 1: ten of it. You know, it's like an impossible chase. Now,
- 44:32Speaker 1: when we were kids, we canna remember, we try to
- 44:34Speaker 1: get like the stickers. It make a puzzle and we
- 44:36Speaker 1: try to get them all. Now it's like it's unless
- 44:39Speaker 1: you have a gazillion dollars and get lucky, it's it's
- 44:41Speaker 1: not even worth it. On a star player. You're gonna
- 44:43Speaker 1: spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete the fucking
- 44:47Speaker 1: rainbow they call it whatever, But yeah, it's it's a
- 44:51Speaker 1: crazy industry. But I just it's just fun. Man. I
- 44:54Speaker 1: love when I pull a cool card, Like I don't
- 44:56Speaker 1: really sometimes I don't care about the value of it,
- 44:58Speaker 1: but like, actually I see that. So this one up here,
- 45:02Speaker 1: this Kaitlyn Clark yep, well second to the right, that
- 45:06Speaker 1: one I pulled the other day really and that was
- 45:08Speaker 1: a little twenty nine dollars blaster box and that card's
- 45:10Speaker 1: worth like one hundred and thirty bucks. But it's cool.
- 45:13Speaker 1: It's like fucking and it's women's basketball. Who I shit
- 45:17Speaker 1: on all the time. But uh, I'm like, I knew
- 45:20Speaker 1: I had something I pulled on. I'm like, oh, this
- 45:21Speaker 1: has gotta be worth something. She's the only person who
- 45:23Speaker 1: maybe Angel reades, but she fucking is ruining her own
- 45:26Speaker 1: career with her mouth. But you know, Caitlyn's the only
- 45:30Speaker 1: person you want to pull out of that pack, you know,
- 45:32Speaker 1: and it's got the Indiana fever. A lot of the
- 45:35Speaker 1: you know, her other chase cards earlier were of her
- 45:37Speaker 1: in Iowa, and but the minute That's another thing about
- 45:40Speaker 1: the sport is with nil deals that came out, they
- 45:44Speaker 1: can do all these college cards now and college autos
- 45:46Speaker 1: and stuff. So you pull a good card, say an
- 45:50Speaker 1: auto or a short print, it's worth money. But if
- 45:54Speaker 1: you're in the business of it, you almost have to
- 45:57Speaker 1: flip it right away because the minute they get on
- 45:59Speaker 1: them major team, everyone's going to chase the NFL logo,
- 46:04Speaker 1: the NBA logo, and not the college logo, you know,
- 46:07Speaker 1: So that really decreases the value of that card, you know,
- 46:10Speaker 1: moving forward. So I said, like, if they have a
- 46:13Speaker 1: good career, is it like having the rookie card. No,
- 46:16Speaker 1: it's not. That's the problem. So everyone's going to so
- 46:19Speaker 1: they graduate and they get drafted by you know, Caitlin Cart.
- 46:22Speaker 1: You know we'll use her for example. So like her
- 46:25Speaker 1: Iowa cards, even the good ones are they on honestly
- 46:29Speaker 1: almost automatically depreciate, really because all right now everyone's chasing
- 46:33Speaker 1: her pro card. So it's you know, if you're just
- 46:36Speaker 1: a collector, it's cool to have them. You know there's
- 46:39Speaker 1: still be there. They still hold value, sure, but you
- 46:42Speaker 1: know you're not going to get if you're selling it,
- 46:43Speaker 1: you're not going to get the peak of it. So
- 46:45Speaker 1: like I pulled a Dylan Rayola. So he's the quarterback
- 46:48Speaker 1: of Nebraska. He's only a freshman last year. It's gonna
- 46:51Speaker 1: be sow. I'm one this year and he has to
- 46:52Speaker 1: play three years, so he's got two more years. It's
- 46:54Speaker 1: called the color Blast. I actually was the first one
- 46:57Speaker 1: I ever pulled. I didn't know what I got, So
- 46:59Speaker 1: like days later, I'm like, let me just I know
- 47:01Speaker 1: it's you know whatever. And I went on eBay and
- 47:04Speaker 1: I went to sold and it was like three hundred
- 47:06Speaker 1: and eighty five dollars raw. So I just shipped out
- 47:09Speaker 1: to a PSA. A PSA ten hasn't sold yet. On eBay,
- 47:14Speaker 1: people are asking like fifteen hundred to seventeen hundred dollars
- 47:17Speaker 1: for it. So I have a friend who's a big
- 47:20Speaker 1: Nebraska fan, so I text him like, all right, what's
- 47:22Speaker 1: the deal. I don't there's so many people in college football.
- 47:24Speaker 1: I can't keep track of the ball. He's like, literally
- 47:26Speaker 1: they're comparing him to like a mini Patrick Mahomes, you know,
- 47:30Speaker 1: but with a bigger arm or something. And he's like,
- 47:33Speaker 1: he's really highly touted and he's going to be probably
- 47:36Speaker 1: not this year, but next year he's bean favorite and
- 47:37Speaker 1: he might go theyre already said he might go number
- 47:39Speaker 1: one in two years. So he's a guy I may
- 47:43Speaker 1: consider if it comes back at ten, selling it during
- 47:47Speaker 1: the hype of the college football season, like Nebraska starts
- 47:50Speaker 1: out eight and O, all right, what the fuck did
- 47:52Speaker 1: I get for this card. It's also the timing of
- 47:54Speaker 1: that incredible you know NFL right now and like no
- 47:58Speaker 1: one's playing, you know.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Like I was saying with the ones I'm looking at,
- 48:02Speaker 3: it's it's not Timing's not that big of an issue
- 48:04Speaker 3: unless the guy's about the dog or something like that, right,
- 48:08Speaker 3: you know. So it's I think it's kind of a
- 48:09Speaker 3: well positioned, you know, value system for the old cards.
- 48:14Speaker 1: But right, like you said, yours is like very dynamic. Yeah,
- 48:17Speaker 1: for sure. It makes it more like like you were
- 48:19Speaker 1: talking about stocks. Yeah, oh, it's totally like there's literally
- 48:22Speaker 1: websites that track the value of cards and stuff. I'm
- 48:26Speaker 1: sure you've looked at it. It's it's pretty interesting, you know.
- 48:31Speaker 1: All right, let's get to my douche of the week
- 48:33Speaker 1: while we're here. All right, So my one early there
- 48:38Speaker 1: is another sports related one. So the one I did
- 48:41Speaker 1: the other day was the girl that hit the other
- 48:44Speaker 1: girl with a baton. He saw the ship and then
- 48:47Speaker 1: the n double A CP got involved sided with the
- 48:50Speaker 1: assailant like this. It's like, and the guy had on
- 48:53Speaker 1: he made a great point. He's like, they may have
- 48:56Speaker 1: sided with the assailant, but it's really they're just they're
- 48:58Speaker 1: just trying to be relevant again, They're trying. It's it's
- 49:00Speaker 1: just all about promotion, and it's just that's how they
- 49:03Speaker 1: decide which side they want to take. And it's just
- 49:05Speaker 1: it's crazy. But you maybe remember running back he put
- 49:10Speaker 1: for the Jets and Giants and Steelers. Le'Veon bell. It
- 49:13Speaker 1: was very very actually when he was in Pittsburgh, he
- 49:16Speaker 1: was he was quite dynamic running back. The Jets signed
- 49:20Speaker 1: him to do like a big deal, and he just
- 49:21Speaker 1: kind of I don't know if he injuries gott in
- 49:23Speaker 1: his way, but or the Jets might have gotten in
- 49:25Speaker 1: his way. It seems to happen, but he uh. He
- 49:32Speaker 1: is now accused of repeated sexual abuse by his cousin.
- 49:37Speaker 1: Bell decided to respond via live video and this was
- 49:42Speaker 1: his response. So, I guess I'm gonna try to have
- 49:45Speaker 1: to I mean, I don't think they can't have to
- 49:46Speaker 1: edit anything out. I'm just gonna read what the paper
- 49:49Speaker 1: has written. So he comes out and says, do you
- 49:51Speaker 1: all think Le'Veon Bell need to force myself upon a
- 49:55Speaker 1: woman anybody? I don't. I put this on all my
- 49:59Speaker 1: kid's life, my mom's life. I put this on everything.
- 50:02Speaker 1: I never ever pushed myself on a girl when she
- 50:06Speaker 1: ain't want that shit. I've never forced myself on nobody.
- 50:11Speaker 1: I got my pick of the litter. Stop this shit.
- 50:14Speaker 1: My number is so high, thousands of women slayed by
- 50:17Speaker 1: the dragon. I've done slade so many women. It's like
- 50:21Speaker 1: a fucking dragon, bro, I'm a dragon slayer out here.
- 50:25Speaker 1: That was his response to fucking sexual abuse charges. I
- 50:30Speaker 1: guess he didn't consult with anybody before he did it. Right,
- 50:33Speaker 1: He's only thirty three years old, he's out of the
- 50:36Speaker 1: NFL and reportedly has seven kids from six women. Uh,
- 50:43Speaker 1: then he went to Michigan State. Like I almost I
- 50:48Speaker 1: don't want to call it like a thug mentality or whatever,
- 50:51Speaker 1: but like, just why can't someone just come out and
- 50:54Speaker 1: just like if you're denying it, you didn't do it,
- 50:56Speaker 1: or you did do it, you're denying. Either way, you're
- 50:58Speaker 1: denying it. That's how you're gonna deny it. You're gonna
- 51:02Speaker 1: come out and like like like gloat that you've banged
- 51:05Speaker 1: a thousand fucking women, Like yeah, I get it, Like
- 51:13Speaker 1: I don't know. I just read that and it just
- 51:15Speaker 1: stuck with me, and I'm like, why the fuck why
- 51:17Speaker 1: would you say that? Like who's your pr guy? Like
- 51:20Speaker 1: you know this guy's thought Asians and ship Like that's
- 51:23Speaker 1: my first thought. Just come out to deny everything and
- 51:26Speaker 1: shut the fuck up. Like that's not gonna help his case.
- 51:30Speaker 1: Oh so you just basically fucking put your penis and
- 51:33Speaker 1: anything that it fucking moves awesome? Great, Oh that we
- 51:36Speaker 1: believe you, except yeah, and your cousin's coming out against you. Okay, yeah,
- 51:40Speaker 1: you probably did nothing wrong. Yeah you're you seem like
- 51:43Speaker 1: a good dude. You know, got all these women pregnant
- 51:46Speaker 1: and yeah, I know cool, all right, yeah innocent. Right.
- 51:50Speaker 1: So Le'Veon bell is my duche of the week. I
- 51:54Speaker 1: want to start like having people send me possible douche
- 51:57Speaker 1: of the weeks, you know what I mean, Like, just
- 51:59Speaker 1: send me a text, man, sage. You're an article, and
- 52:01Speaker 1: if I pick you, maybe it'll be like a contest thing.
- 52:04Speaker 1: If I pick yours, i'll uh don't give you a
- 52:06Speaker 1: gift card to Stonebridge or something. If I have to
- 52:09Speaker 1: think about that, I'll post something on Facebook when I
- 52:11Speaker 1: finalize that. I was thinking about that a couple of
- 52:13Speaker 1: weeks ago. I'm like, because sometimes I forget to do it.
- 52:15Speaker 1: I thought that I have to. It's my own show.
- 52:17Speaker 1: But like, I like, I like, I like finishing with
- 52:19Speaker 1: the douche of the week. I bet you get a
- 52:20Speaker 1: lot of responses. I probably would probably like you asshole,
- 52:25Speaker 1: you fucking Trump or speaking of Trump. Well, we'll finish
- 52:31Speaker 1: on a little eye politics. Now, you said you're a
- 52:33Speaker 1: politicals which is cool. I like that. What so well,
- 52:38Speaker 1: let's take your perspective. Since you're my guest just in
- 52:43Speaker 1: a nutshell? Are you just like the world has gone mad?
- 52:47Speaker 1: Are you like? I fuck it? What do you like? Like?
- 52:52Speaker 1: What how do you how do you take all all
- 52:54Speaker 1: of this stuff that's going on that the like how
- 52:58Speaker 1: they na should will never unify at this current climate?
- 53:04Speaker 1: Is Trump really a Nazi? And you know everything they
- 53:09Speaker 1: claim he is is Elon Musk going way over his
- 53:14Speaker 1: means and what he's doing. There are certain things as
- 53:18Speaker 1: a Republican that you know with Doge and everything that
- 53:22Speaker 1: I think you know before they like drop the hammer
- 53:24Speaker 1: on some of this stuff, like all right, well, put
- 53:27Speaker 1: a little group together, go in and see what's going on.
- 53:30Speaker 1: I don't just like, you know, I get that part,
- 53:32Speaker 1: because you are ruining people that honestly work for a
- 53:35Speaker 1: living his lives. I get it. You know, is it necessary?
- 53:39Speaker 1: Maybe it is. I'm not on that side of the wall.
- 53:41Speaker 1: I don't know how they're doing it. I get the
- 53:43Speaker 1: frustration of it. But at the same time, I think
- 53:46Speaker 1: it's one of those long plays where like, you know,
- 53:49Speaker 1: just because you get fired, as me, you can't get
- 53:50Speaker 1: another fucking job, like come on, you know, well except
- 53:54Speaker 1: for you, I mean, and now you're dealing cards on
- 53:58Speaker 1: the internet.
- 54:00Speaker 3: You can get a job but not be the job
- 54:02Speaker 3: you want either, you know, I mean there's there's careers
- 54:05Speaker 3: and things around that that.
- 54:06Speaker 1: It's not ideal for people.
- 54:08Speaker 3: I look at it as yeah, I mean it looks like,
- 54:11Speaker 3: you know, there's force disruption going in and thanks and
- 54:16Speaker 3: I mean I understand that, you know, everybody thinks that
- 54:19Speaker 3: these need would get taken up. I think from the
- 54:22Speaker 3: doche perspective, I relate that to you know, working at
- 54:25Speaker 3: Sikorski every year in continuous improvement, you got to figure
- 54:28Speaker 3: better ways of doing it.
- 54:29Speaker 1: So this actually affects the course exactly well, even from
- 54:32Speaker 1: the internal workings of it. What you'd have to do.
- 54:34Speaker 3: From a management perspective, and I'm sure you know you
- 54:36Speaker 3: you've seen it, is that do I have too many
- 54:39Speaker 3: people or do I not have enough people to do
- 54:42Speaker 3: the hours that you need to do to make the
- 54:43Speaker 3: things that you got to do right. So I think
- 54:45Speaker 3: I related that they're doing it to do something like that.
- 54:49Speaker 3: I just think that, like you said, you know, it's
- 54:51Speaker 3: more of a sledgehammer than you know, doing more intricate
- 54:54Speaker 3: work towards it. And I think that, yeah, every year
- 54:58Speaker 3: you got to kind of step back, take a look
- 55:00Speaker 3: at it. I think right now that's just going full
- 55:02Speaker 3: more into it, and you know, I think that there's
- 55:06Speaker 3: some good to that. And I think that ultimately, you know,
- 55:09Speaker 3: are we going to save money? Is it all about
- 55:11Speaker 3: doing you know, the budget and we're trying to balance
- 55:14Speaker 3: the budget and we're going to be able to do
- 55:15Speaker 3: it that way. I think that there needs to be more,
- 55:19Speaker 3: you know, we need to see what's going on behind
- 55:21Speaker 3: the scenes, right And I'm a big data guy, you know,
- 55:23Speaker 3: and as far as government is concerned, the way I
- 55:25Speaker 3: look at it is, you know, government should be getting
- 55:29Speaker 3: data that tells us where our problems are and why
- 55:31Speaker 3: they have it, and so you know, solve those problems
- 55:33Speaker 3: based on that data.
- 55:34Speaker 1: You know.
- 55:35Speaker 3: For me, the political part of it, I think just
- 55:37Speaker 3: kind of gets in the way and slows.
- 55:38Speaker 1: Things down, right, So to me, I.
- 55:43Speaker 3: See the force disruption of it as an independent and
- 55:46Speaker 3: you know, a guy that kind of approaches governing towards
- 55:49Speaker 3: you know, more of running a business than anything else.
- 55:52Speaker 1: And I just don't know how it's going to play out.
- 55:55Speaker 3: I think ultimately, with the checks and balance that are
- 55:57Speaker 3: and the system, it will play out and it'll eaven
- 55:59Speaker 3: it's out at some point, you know, I think that
- 56:03Speaker 3: I think we deserve to learn what's actually happening and
- 56:06Speaker 3: what they're learning about it and why they're taking the
- 56:07Speaker 3: actions that they do. And again it goes back to
- 56:09Speaker 3: the problem statement, the root cause of it, and the
- 56:13Speaker 3: corrective action of it. And it is the problem statement
- 56:16Speaker 3: that the we need to balance our budget, and is
- 56:19Speaker 3: the root cause of it that we have too many
- 56:20Speaker 3: people in the government, and that's part of what we
- 56:22Speaker 3: need to do to make that happen. But without knowing
- 56:25Speaker 3: the data and the details behind it, it's hard to
- 56:27Speaker 3: say whether it's the right thing or not.
- 56:28Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, I mean we don't know. I mean,
- 56:31Speaker 1: they're supposedly I've never gone on the dose website, but
- 56:34Speaker 1: its supposedly there. It's very upfront on there. I don't know.
- 56:39Speaker 1: I don't know how many people go on that website.
- 56:43Speaker 1: The thing that really, like I guess, ticks me off
- 56:46Speaker 1: the most is it's just it's a back and forth thing.
- 56:51Speaker 1: It's like when the Dems were in control, you know,
- 56:55Speaker 1: and something like you know, like when when Biden came
- 56:57Speaker 1: in and shut down the pipeline and you know, he
- 56:59Speaker 1: he raised a lot of jobs too, you know, and
- 57:06Speaker 1: with Trump now it's now it's like I don't know,
- 57:10Speaker 1: it's somebody was posting the other day. Maybe it was
- 57:12Speaker 1: today about you know, some some concert that got cut
- 57:17Speaker 1: because of Doge and CBS came through and funded it
- 57:22Speaker 1: and they went on, you know, I don't know, and
- 57:24Speaker 1: it's like now all of a sudden, you guys care
- 57:28Speaker 1: like when we were and I say we as a Republican,
- 57:31Speaker 1: when when we were you know, clapping out, you guys like,
- 57:34Speaker 1: come on, like what the fuck are you guys doing?
- 57:36Speaker 1: And you guys didn't respond, And now the shoes on
- 57:39Speaker 1: the other foot, and you're doing what we were doing,
- 57:41Speaker 1: I guess. And it's just when does this all end?
- 57:45Speaker 3: It's a hard thing to say. Yeah, I mean, and
- 57:48Speaker 3: I think it's out of the disruption, but how far
- 57:50Speaker 3: of a disruption we need to get to to get
- 57:53Speaker 3: to a middle ground?
- 57:53Speaker 1: Like I just don't think that democrats, like I really
- 57:56Speaker 1: thought when Trump won, and maybe it was just me
- 58:00Speaker 1: listening to some liberal outlets that Okay, we're gonna work
- 58:06Speaker 1: with him. It's four years, let's do it, and like
- 58:08Speaker 1: from day one, they haven't and you know, they can't
- 58:13Speaker 1: not bitch, like literally he could cure cancer and they
- 58:15Speaker 1: wouldn't care. They will well you know, if you esteamroll
- 58:18Speaker 1: this person to get it done, so fuck you. Like
- 58:20Speaker 1: I don't know, like and I just don't think they're
- 58:23Speaker 1: helping their cause. I would love to see a great
- 58:25Speaker 1: Democrat rise up the ranks, like we need that in
- 58:28Speaker 1: this country. Like I don't disbelieve all their values. I
- 58:33Speaker 1: just you know, and you can say what you want
- 58:35Speaker 1: about Trump, but like he's you know, he doesn't stop.
- 58:39Speaker 3: Well, I think even an independent to rise up right
- 58:42Speaker 3: to not have those ties.
- 58:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I just don't. I just think the
- 58:47Speaker 1: parties are too big for I don't know.
- 58:51Speaker 3: I think that's part of the disruption though, something that says, okay,
- 58:55Speaker 3: neither side it's not working somehow something.
- 58:58Speaker 1: And there's more independence. There are Democrats and Republicans right right,
- 59:02Speaker 1: So but where did we go from here? Like you know,
- 59:05Speaker 1: the state of the union of this you know whatever
- 59:07Speaker 1: he you know, like they're holding paddles in there, and
- 59:11Speaker 1: like what the fuck are we doing? I don't, like,
- 59:14Speaker 1: you're not even respecting the position that was voted on
- 59:16Speaker 1: by more than half of the Americans. Like, yeah, Trump's Trump,
- 59:19Speaker 1: Like we all know what Trump is. He's a blowhard.
- 59:23Speaker 1: He says shit he shouldn't say, but he's a business man,
- 59:27Speaker 1: and you could you know, they're just gonna come back
- 59:28Speaker 1: at you, Oh you're a fucking bankrupt three times. But well,
- 59:31Speaker 1: you know what, he rebounded every fucking time. You know,
- 59:34Speaker 1: he's not one of the people that's getting fired. And
- 59:36Speaker 1: it's gonna fucking post a video that your life is over. No,
- 59:39Speaker 1: you get back, dust yourself off, get the fuck back up.
- 59:43Speaker 1: Come on. You know those fucking jobs nine percent were
- 59:45Speaker 1: fucking cush jobs, and that's why they're upset because now
- 59:48Speaker 1: they probably got to really go work for a living.
- 59:51Speaker 3: The question is how how long ago did something like
- 59:53Speaker 3: this happen? Right and there over your time, as time
- 59:56Speaker 3: goes on, it gets cushy and gushyer right right click.
- 59:59Speaker 3: It happens in companies like Sikorski too, and then and
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: they end up like dishoveling departments that.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: Took over Twitter. He like fucking dismantled. That's like what
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: the like do you ever read those articles of what
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: what like a day in the life of a Twitter
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: employee was They had like an hour of yoga, you know,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: they had like solitary rooms where they could focus on
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: themselves for an hour, like you know, they had all
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: the great coffee fucking it was like insane, and he's like,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: fuck this right, he fired signed five percent of staff.
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: That's all the all the all the the amount of
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: money that creates that kind of waste is right, you know,
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: And and that's the government, right. Money just keeps flowing
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: in and it creates all the waste around it.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's got some radical ideas, but I
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: would love to see one. I'd like I'd love to
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: see their no tacks on tips. I mean, granted, I'm
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: a bartender, so that'd be great. I mean, I think
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: that's the most dangerous one though, because then you can
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: like ten ninety nine everyone and busy, you know, I mean,
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: it would just be weird. People will take such advantage
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: of it. But the you know what's the new one
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: now no no income tax under one hundred fifty thousand
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: a year. So that would help me. It would help
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: my girlfriend, help our family, you know, put more money
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: in our pockets to you know, do things we want
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: to do in life. You know, we're not getting any younger.
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: I just think, you know again, now our business is
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: going to cap every everybody off at fucking a certain amount.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna pay one forty nine or we're
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: gonna pay one to fifty one to pay taxes. You know,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: like does companies have to pay payroll taxes? Then? You know,
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: like it's interesting, you know, I'm all about a flax tax,
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: a flat tax and saying it forever, like just fucking
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: whack is twenty twenty percent on everything we buy and
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: then I'll decide what I want to buy and not buy.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: But the hard part of all these things is is
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: the ramifications that could be downstream. Oh sure, yeah, and
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: that's going back to our whole figure out where it
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: all goes Black.
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: Bill continues improvement. Thing is that you know, you want
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: to create a solution. That is, you know that it's
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: your problem. It's it solves the problem with out.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: Having started like fifty thousand, it's a three year project
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: by everyone that makes fifty thousand and under no tax
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: on your federal and context. Now that actually gives them
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: they you know, fifty thousands to get you shit anymore,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: you know, And then you go to seventy five and
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: you go to one hundred, you know, just doing increments
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: over like two year increments, blah blah blah. And you know,
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: and if you've come across like a really big like
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: you know, stepping stone or a roadblock, you can maybe
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: figure it out. I mean, just saying one hundred and fifty,
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: you know, that's a lot. I mean, it's a lot
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: of money that the government's not gonna make unless unless part
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: of that is taxing the rich more.
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: Or expecting that it's going to go right back in
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: create growth. I think that's the main reason why you
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: want to cut taxes, because you think it's going to
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: get back into the.
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: System right growth, which which I mean I think it
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: should good. You know, is just no guarantee that that's
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: gonna happen, no, right, you know. But again with someone
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: like me or you like, that's yeah, I'm going to
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: go buy more Jamison and give us proper twelve and
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: Vivas and all that good stuff. You know. I don't know,
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: it's just it's it's I think it's refreshing to hear
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: these like ideas come out instead of the same old,
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: same old with the Democrats. You know. I just I
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: don't know, I could go on for days. I literally
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: I stopped. I stopped with the Internet, like I didn't stop.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: But yeah, I still read Twitter all the time, but
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: I don't comment as much as I used to, and
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: i'd never comment really too much anymore. Except for my
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: buddy Eddie Bras. I always fucking bust his balls. I
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know when he became a Democrat,
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: but it almost like it happened overnight. But it's week
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: to week now too. You really you don't stay today
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: for some weeks.
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: You really don't know what's going to happen with direction,
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: and there's just so much information. It's not data, you know,
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: the things that you need to make decisions off of.
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: It's information, right or you got to kind of weed
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: through and figure out whether it's right or not.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Is it pertinent? Is it you know that kind of thing. Yeah,
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: it's a it's a you know, it's a great conversation,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: I think.
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I think with the check and balances in the system,
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: that's what gives me comfort to know that you know,
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: it's not it can't just happen. There's something in the
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: process that says, Okay, if it gets to this point,
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: something somebody else is going to be involved.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: With it to help make that right right right, So
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: as an independent, you know, it's kind of what I'm
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: rely And I look, I look.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: At governing my house and things around you first, you know,
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: and and and the local is you're more excessive.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that some states were looking
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: to abolish property tax. I mean, if you think about
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: property tax, it's it's, it's, it's, it's it's one of
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: the biggest scams going. I mean, just I buy a home,
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: why do what the fuck? Who owns this? Right? Like,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: nothing's free anymore. This is not the land of the free.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: We're almost on our mortgage and most of the payments
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: are going towards taxes every.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I look, I think this is the
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: disruption causes a lot of different ideas, which I think
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: is positive, but it's risky too.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you know, you don't know what's to come
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: out of it. All right, Tim, We're gonna wrap it
