Day in October and ways dy in October. It's the annual festival in Munich,
2:04
Germany, held over a two week period of time on the first Sunday

twelfth, eighteen ten, and celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince of Bavaria
2:17

2:45

2:53
same, kind of like Thersian FESTI always the third Saturday, you guys are
2:57
always Yeah, now nvigated between porch Fest and then there was the sound on
3:07
sound that's coming up? Right? Is that that weekend? That last year
3:10
was okay? So are you missing it? Ye? Last year was close,
3:15
but luckily they felt last year they fell on the same weekend, so
3:17
luckily this year they did not, right, and that was a disaster.
3:21
I heard. I heard it was everyone's going back. I'm like, you
3:24
guys are crazy. I'm not a festival guy. I just want to go
3:28
see my band, maybe an open and act a couple of hours, get
3:30
in and get out. Yea all day ship for me. I'm past that.
3:34
Some people love it, and I know they made a lot of improvements
3:37
and it'll be good. This year. I did go one day. Well
3:39
you know what, you almost I guess if that's your thing, you have
3:43
to go back. You know, you gotta be all right. It can't
3:46
be that bad as it was last year. I only heard horror stories.
3:49
I wasn't there. So fun fact about this year it is that Bruce Springsteen
3:53
I heard, was supposed to play and he bailed. He's got more money
3:57
at mohegan and then he fucking bailed on that because he guys six serves him
4:00
right for bailing and Chili Peppers, you know, they were secured a while
4:04
ago. But I think originally it was supposed to be The Boss and he
4:06
nixed Bridgeport for more money. Second time I heard, yeah, yep,
4:11
I am a well known non Boss fan. I don't like him. I
4:15
did it. I saw him once once because like he was kind of you
4:18
know, I was a bucket list guy, right. I saw him up
4:20
in Hartford at the Civic Center. It was the River tour they called it.
4:25
It was the album The River and it's like one of the slowest albums,
4:29
like did You Go to Sleep? Yeah, And I was like,
4:30
holy fuck, and you know, give credit with credits through The guy plays
4:34
for like three and a half of a ridiculous and then but all the good
4:40
songs are in his like nine song encore, you know, and we were
4:44
gone, were already a second, we were already back at seventies before the
4:47
show. Two things to keep your eyes. Yeah, all right, so
4:53
let's get back to uh so, let's start with Friday. What are the
4:57
big events Friday? All right? So, just like a lot of the
5:00
festivals around Milford, the Eve has become super popular and is a fun time
5:05
to pregame and not always as not always as you know, busy, but
5:10
with the bands that we have lined up, it's going to be still we'll
5:13
be a busy night. So we do it tapping around seven o'clock. But
5:16
before that we have Hawkins the band at five o'clock just to wear everybody up.
5:20
So Happy Hour or an officially starts at five o'clock, the official kick
5:25

5:30
us with that and they're one of our sponsors. And then at seven to
5:32

5:36
Porchfest? I did not, but I don't like him. He is well
5:41

5:45
but I got I was starting to get let's say, reports from my friends
5:49
down in Melba. They're like, yo, so I think one of the
5:53
texts was from my from Ali Bower. She's like, does Hawkins think he's
5:57
the halftime show of the super Bowl right now? Because holy shit, he's
6:00
got a lot of energy. He's got to get more too. He totally,
6:02
he totally does. She's like, he's rolling around on the floor right
6:05
now, no shared odds, singing like rage against the receivers, and that's
6:11
what I see. I was like, yeah, you won't do Oh they're
6:14
really rocking down there. Uh, Donald Hawkins is great. I actually text
6:17

7:03
turned. It's turned. I'm turned. I'm sorry. My mom hates me
7:06
for it. I yeah, I have to agree, and people ask us.
7:11
It's a good kind of a good watch out for october Fest is that
7:15
we do not allow dogs. It's kind of a city rule too, unfortunately.
7:18
But yeah, with this, you know liability when you have I mean
7:21
people, they're animals. Yeah, you don't know what they're gonna do yet,
7:25
loud music a lot of people. It's better to not have them around
7:28
for that. My mother has a rescue dog, a little chihuahua. And
7:33
I'm gonna tell you a little story off show after the show about this talk.
7:38
I can't say it on fun on the show because my mom would kill
7:41
me if she knew. She doesn't listen. But it'll get back to her
7:44
if I don't. I measured a house today and great, lady, great,
7:48
great location. And they says these two dogs, one was a bit
7:51
older, and she's like, I can put the muzzles on him because last
7:54

10:11
So we got some contests this year on Saturday Night, as we do
10:15
every year. Jarre, if you can make it, I will find you
10:18
leader hosen if you could sneak away, Jeremy, we love to see you
10:20
in some leader hosen. Right, So custom contests dress, I should dress
10:26
like Chevy Chase from European Vacation. Yes, yeah, that's all, okay,
10:30
little suspend green suspenders. Yeah, so yeah, in order at first,
10:35
this is the messy part. The bratt eating contest. Oh yeah,
10:39
so that's at three three five? Is that gonna Is that going to be
10:43
like a hot dog eating contest? Yeah? But buns? Yes, yes,
10:48
Oh I couldn't do that. I think we just did three last year
10:52
and that was enough and we're right amount of time, No, three three
10:56
dozen? Wait wait what it was three three three brats and whoever get eat
11:03
at the quickest. I'm thinking there's just you know, like the hot dog
11:07
contest Jesus Christ. Since the first year of that. No, we did
11:13
that every year. Yeah, so who won it last year? Anyone we
11:15
know? Oh, I don't remember last winners. A little old lady,
11:18
she really crushed it. Those old women got the experience with the brattlers.
11:24
Our very own Donny Anderson came in a close hungry You gotta be careful with
11:35
events, you know. So I have a buddy that runs a lot of
11:37
Texas roadhouses and they had a steak eating contest there for years ago, the
11:43
one in West Haven. I could crush that bread. Oh yeah, the
11:45
breads and they it was like a twenty four ounce bribi or something right,
11:50
whatever the steak was was big. Well, they were like professional eaters and
11:54
like they rolled into these things because they like it was a five hundred prize.
11:58
Yeah, it was like he was like four slices with his knife.
12:01
The thing was done in like forty eight. I saw something some kids like
12:05
something like that. Two of them though, I think the competition was for
12:09
one yeah, two before anyone else finished one crazy. That's like all was
12:13
it? John Candy? Oh the big the old ninety six er. Yeah,
12:18
yeah, well that's the thing. Like so they actually now research,
12:22
like like you have to register now at inner events like this, and if
12:26
they find that you're a professional eater, you can't like you're yeah, you
12:28
can't go. I remember that scene you have to eat the fat now yeah,
12:31
yeah, at the grizzle and the fat you're not done. But yeah,
12:37
we're pretty leaning with the rules too, like we get allowed them the
12:39
dunk. So we have prizes for all in Orangel House. Who was the
12:43
biggest spot. It was Milford Bank orangel House. But orangel Houses, you
12:46
know, sponsor. They provide all the guys. Paul the October Fest beers,
12:52
all the beers period, he has all the people. The staff is
12:54
from Orangel House. Yep. But so the gift certificates of a hundred dollars
12:58
for each of the contest, so three for three of them, right right,
13:03
awesome. So Bratt's at three, the custom contest is at four thirty
13:07
and that's co ed ye and then this year is the first year we are
13:11
obviously a girl's gonna win. You would think no better voting out how tight
13:16
the leader who's in our It's all about that leader who's in there? The
13:20
bulge. He tacked it out and then h this is interesting. This is
13:28
new this year, right, the steinholding contest. It's we have been doing
13:33
it, but this is the first year we are part of the US official
13:35
steinholding, so it's it's like sanctioned it serious. It was like pages and
13:41
pages of of stuff we still need to read. Donnie Anderson is going to
13:46
be is headlining the judging and understanding the rules. Why isn't Donny here?
13:50
It's twice he's been mentioned now with some spirit. Right, he's car pooling
13:54
somewhere. He's he's always out there. Yeah, yeah, uh first year
14:00
it will be co ed. So does it bring your own stein? How
14:03
does it work? Unfortunately, we can not fill them with beer, but
14:07
they will be regulation size steins that will be filled with water and they're glass
14:11
yep so, but they weigh approximately three pounds. Then that's one leader of
14:15
water they'll be holding. So it's just whatever holds it, Like, what's
14:18
what's the form? Like what do you gotta do a lot of peoplelast year
14:20
were kind of leaning. There's no leaning allowed. I think that's one of
14:22
the rules. Yeah, that really be upright and you're holding out and you
14:26
know not no helping yourself with another arm. So what's what's like the average
14:30
time? Like, what's a good question? I think on men, maybe
14:33
like seven minutes and four to five. Yeah, try to keep your arm
14:37
up without anything for seven I remember in high school we do with they they
14:41
try to do it with like textbooks. Yes, and we had contests in
14:43
high school. This is where like that I bet on you. First of
14:48
all, right, off the rip, sure of the arm, the better,
14:52
you know, Yeah, but I don't. She's like somemer athletics.
14:54
So it's like, but I don't want to mess up with my golf swing
14:58
developed with tennis elbow from Stein, So no, I will not. You
15:01
know what's funny about Like I was just telling you about my hernated disk and
15:05
all that stuff, it for whatever reason, does not affect my swing.
15:09
Like I'm sore. I'm like, did my muscles hurt? There's no pain
15:13
in the swing. It's so I'm like blessed. Wasn't that baseball movie where
15:18
the kid gets his arm hurt? Yeah, it's a great movie. Think
15:22
gets hurt again and I was crushing drives on Monday and like, but Tuesday,
15:26
I was like, I came with my arm. Yeah, but like
15:28
while I'm playing, it was fine. So it's like a risk reward,
15:31
right, someone can makes something tight and it keeps you from being too pretty
15:35
Sure I'm gonna need some sort of surgery, Yeah, well I want to.
15:39
I'm sure vivas are good swing oil keeping. Yeah. And Jamison Nips
15:43
Yeah. Oh, I have a bad story, but you're Jamison Nips.
15:48
When you didn't you try to go through the airport, Oh, to Ireland?
15:52
That was actually great. Goose Nip was in too Ireland. No,
15:56
it was great Goose. We were what's the fucking small airport up in New
16:00
York? Not not West Planes which one maybe Newburg. No, it's not
16:06
either. Anyway, they had a direct flights to Ireland and it was like
16:10
five of us went over. And this is when like nips were illegal,
16:12
like or they still are, but you had to. I think it's like
16:15
a court bag. You just can't bring ninety if I bring five. There
16:18
was five of us, so we all had a gallon bag, which was
16:22
where we went. We're together. Well, we we had five gallon bags
16:30
and h we thought we were cool. Like literally we out of the ninety
16:34
nips. I think we're able to take like fifteen, and I have a
16:40
picture of it and it's just like the conveyor belt and just a massive amount
16:44
of nips and fucking we were just like so mad. And I just looked
16:48
at the guy and I'm like, you guys are gonna have a nice employee
16:51
party? Did keep any like fifteen? Yeah? That was a like three
16:56
a person. Maybe we were pretty disappointed. Mean, we didn't pay for
16:59
the nips, they were donated, but like still, it's like it's just
17:02
you know, you gotta hang your hat and put it over your heart and
17:03
yeah, some you win, you lose. Yeah it was rows and nips.
17:07
Yeah, but where were we? Oh oh golf swings and stuff.
17:11
But yeah, so this time contest. So that's another hundred dollar prize right
17:15
in our gift card. And uh it's both for both winners. Yes,
17:21
so men's and women's correct? Yeah? Oh nice? Oh wait wait is
17:23
the is the costume contest two winners too? Or just one one winner over?
17:29
I don't know, but it's something we should we should maybe figure out.
17:30
What do you think? I mean, you should always have a guy
17:33
winner and a girl winner. I would things and we need or if they
17:34
win or too, we might as you know, if we can differentiate.
17:37
Yeah, yeah, a little bit of everything. So that's that's an all
17:44
day thing, twelve to nine on Saturday. Is there an entry fee ten
17:48
dollars? Yeah, ten dollars And all this goes to, you know,
17:51
one hundred percent of it was to all of our fundraisers events, all the
17:55
the bathel shelters, all the different on projects we work on throughout the year,
17:59
all the scholar ship so it's all one hundred percent volunteers, and it's
18:03
you know, one hundred percent of the money goes to Right Back, Right
18:07
Back Beer for charity. Right yeah, it just but you know, I
18:11
obviously we're going storm Wars. We have covered charge, but we have covered
18:12
chargers on different levels. We have like a cover charge that's like for the
18:15
college kids and all that bullshit and all the security we need on and the
18:18
police and that of course, and then we do the Sundays and it's like
18:21
we have we had some really good bands this summer that cost a lot of
18:25
money, of course, and people are like having it on It's ten fucking
18:27
dollars, Like it's not nineteen eighty, it's just throwing ten out. You're
18:33
you're here for three hours having a blast, you know, grand you're spending
18:37
money on booze and food. But like you're okay to spend the money the
18:40
one hundred and twenty on your tab. But that fucking ten dollars you see
18:44
it? Four great bands potentially, right, and that it's ten for both
18:48
days. No, it is ten hours per day. Yeah, fifteen for
18:52
two. I'm a whaler and dealer. I have something I have to hear
18:56
it. I'll just say I'm fishing about people bits and I'm trying to I'm
19:00
trying to cut a deal. And I think the other thing that we don't
19:02
highlight enough is that the bands play for free. So they play for charity
19:06
to these wonderful bands again, right and really right, the tickets ten dollars,
19:11
but they really were the bigger producers for all our sponsors. Right.
19:15
Without the sponsors, you know, wouldn't be nearly as profitable. So,
19:18
but there's always all these different businesses in Norford locally that that sponsored. Your
19:22
logos are up there, so they get a little a little advertisement, but
19:26
it's all you know, it's all for the good course, you'd buy tickets
19:27
at the door or they are on an event, right to do them in
19:32
advance. And also first responders who get in free. Put that out there.
19:37
Yeah, that's right, I know you should. What's your what's like?
19:44
What's your president? You're always president? Was your first responder? You're
19:45
always the first? You got ten year or something? Yeah? Are the
19:49
last things you want to add about that? So we veer off in the
19:52
uh different directions. What pages and ship here, let's go stuff, you
19:57
know. Yeah, I we just want to you know, of mind people
20:00
when we say you're drinking beer for charity the charities that we do give towards
20:03
our local scholarships. The flagpole was brought in by Devin Rotaries. The largest
20:08
blackpole on the green. Did you know that? Yeah? Right, I'm
20:11
sorry, the largest blackpole in the state. Yes, it's the second largest
20:14
green in the state. The big it's the big fishing derby, which are
20:17
all the kids law parents a law that the fishing derbies is. It's it's
20:21
from Devon Rotary. We're a big sponsor for bluefish one no past one coming
20:23
up. One that's right on the off the green. That's all the little
20:27
like when when they stop it, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
20:32
sorry, did that pass yet or that happening it's past? No no,
20:37
no if we're saying, but it was in the spring, ok. Yeah,
20:38
because my girlfriend's son is like huge, he fishes down there all the
20:41
time. There's like no fish left. It's a huge, it's a huge
20:44
hit. And then of course we built a pavilion at bat Yeah where we
20:49
used to have this event, but everybody loves downtown, so we moved it
20:52
back in two thousand and six. So this is almost our tenth year,
20:56
and you got a subtract for COVID. We're being from Boys and Girls Club
21:00
where you know we're we donate a lot of money to the Boys and Girls
21:03
Club every years, which is awesome, sou And you were just president?
21:07
Are your president? I'm current president of the Boys and Girls Club. We
21:10
got some presidents. I'm trying to think if I was president of anything else,
21:17
maybe my own fan club. That's about it. Uh So what kind
21:22
of beers are down there? So we do have the three local breweries that
21:27
are sponsors, and we'll have their beer there. So we've got tribes dock
21:30
side in milver Point. You nice, right, then Orange a house.
21:37
We'll get the craft beer selection. Those he has are to be announced,
21:41
but as always, you know, you never say today. Putting it together
21:45
right now. The list usually big Pumpkins and I'm pumpkins. There's the same
21:49
at the Hooker is usually there. So anyone have like a true like German
21:53
dish Heff and Wisen kind of beer down there. Brown is usually president okay,
22:00
yeah, which is a good light beer. I just don't want to
22:02
see it as much. There will be a light beer. There is there
22:03
a Jagermeister tent. There is yet there was. I was at the Kawana
22:10
Sall Golf Tournament Monday and they had orangelhust Air with the Yeager shots. That
22:15
was probably unsanctioned. Knowing those guys, that was like come around back by
22:18
the Kyack two. The guys are put shots of Yeager. I'm like,
22:23
well, where was I obvious? Seeing those boys Monday at the Lawson tournament,
22:26
I'm sure I think they're doing that one. Uh. The only time
22:30
like I've ever done like a German like an october Fest is in an epcot
22:34
in Orlando. And if you catch it around the beer and wine fest.
22:38
Yep, it's fantastic. And but over the years they don't really serve jager
22:45
anymore. They don't have any It's fucking because you gotta drink around the world.
22:48
Yeah yeah, I'm not going to drink a fucking boot a fucking beer.
22:52
I want a quick shot of yeager and get onto the next country.
22:55
Right. Yeah. Now they don't have anything. They have like some apple
22:57
strudal liqueur and it's fucking gross. Yeah. So now we sit there and
23:02
we're like, let's get a pretzel, we'll have a beer. We'll kind
23:04
of pause or day because I can't chunk a beer like I wasn't college.
23:10
No, Plus Germany's like four countries in so you already got three drinks in
23:12
you and I was like, that's my German story. Yeah. Never then
23:15
that's except for I love Kyle, but no, no, I have a
23:18
big I love it, yet I can't do I could do the whole show
23:22
on Epcot. So we're expecting any thing around roughly three thousand people for two
23:26
days. Nice, So it's you know a good amount of people, forecast
23:30
looks great, fingers cross. Well, I just you know, before you
23:33
guys walked in, I was looking at the hurricane and uh they well they
23:37
said it's heading west, which is US. But west is as far west
23:41
as the track had it was Cape Cod. Okay, so it's like staying.
23:45
I mean, we're making some winds and stuff, but I think we're
23:48
fine. Last year, or Friday was the first colder night of the year.
23:52
I was definitely a significantly under dressed. I was like, man,
23:53
that's getting cold out here. Yeah, but uh, you know we're in
23:56
the leader Hosen. I would have wren. Yeah. Nothing, I've heard
24:00
that word seven times on it. Well, we have a contest between us
24:07
and Tequila Seltzer on German. What are the women's dresses called. I don't
24:15
know, Okay, drindle, Drendle, drindle, drindle yep, close to
24:21
dandal dred Yeah, yeah it is I think starts. Yeah, this weekend,
24:26
I think I didn't know kids have Monday off. I don't know that
24:30
much. I remember I've lived in Massachusetts. We never had Jewish holidays off,
24:34
and then when I moved to Connecticut, we had them all offsets Western
24:37
Okay, yeah, I would feel I was in the Berkshires. Okay,
24:41
that's great. Yeah, it was nice. I'm from the Valley, we
24:45
did not have any. They suddenly they still have Jewish holidays off. All
24:49
right, So that is next Friday and Saturday. Friday's sixth and when the
24:55
night ends five. Oh maybe that's for the bands. Yeah, I think
25:00
I got all the food trucks. There's also pizza from I believe it's Milford
25:03
Rotary that does the pizza for us. Oh yeah, And there will be
25:06
a good variety of you know food, like some of them will have German
25:10
fair you know, Liberty Rock, little Bit will mix it up. They
25:12
will have half dogs and hamburgers. You'll be selling some German mugs and ye
25:17
yep. Somebody asked if they could bring their farm sauer kraut that they will
25:22
serve day of it will package it for them. I'm like, I do
25:25
not think I want sauer kraut in the sun, So I'm not going to
25:30
respond on that. Uh, if you'd be so kind to send someone up
25:36
with a couple of brats for me in camp on Saturday, that'd be fantastic.
25:38
Okay, are you going to race? What's the race? Yes?
25:45
Oh? Oh that race? I thought I pictured myself like one of those
25:52
Uh no challenge. Oh god, yeah, I'm gonna go down there and
25:56
try to fucking inhale three fucking brats and then go are ten everybody. Oh
26:02
god Jesus. Uh if you had to like put me in him and it
26:11
was an actual contest, yeah, I beat him. I'm strategic interesting,
26:15
you know in words camp to see that. How big are these the sides
26:18
of a hot dog? Are they bigger? Like thicker? Yeah? Right?
26:22
Yeah, well where am I thinking of beefier? A little bigger circumference?
26:37
Wow? But yes, Viva, speaking of Eviva, how's your watermelon
26:44
on? It's good? Right? So many saucers are too sweet? Yeah,
26:48
you can have like these are like this this just right where it's like
26:51
it's nice. That was not pre programmed people these That was an honest response.
26:55
Ye had zero sugar, zero carbs, eighty eight calories. That's great.
26:59
Yeah. I credit myself with being one of the pioneers or drinking spike
27:02
Seltzers. Do you remember when just bikes Seltzer came out and that's all it
27:04
was called that if they route to Norwalk? Oh yeah yeah yeah. The
27:08
Mermaid yeah oh yeah yeah, he was that bottom viv or whatever that was.
27:12
That was one of the first yeah, and they sold out to Well
27:17
we were the first, I think one of the first bars to bring in
27:22
white claw in the country. And uh, the first couple of years,
27:25
you know, it was just whatever and then just too invested in those companies
27:29
whenever just started like Amazon right now. Yeah, it's crazy. We love
27:33
high noons at the event for anybody that's not a beer drinker and one,
27:37
oh there is one oh good, good, that's good. Yeah, it's
27:40
a good mix of uh a little bit for everybody. Did you guys watch
27:44
football this weekend? Did I know you did? Yeah? That was sad,
27:48
sad. I mean I'm not even a Jets fan, but I was
27:52
telling you guys earlier I bought tickets, you know, for the Patriots Jets
27:56
game, and you know, got good seeds. Haven't been to a game
27:59
in your cowboy, and you just want to you just want to go see
28:00
want some good football. I want to Searon Rodgers will be a great day.
28:03
And then no, no, there's no Aaron Rodgers, right, it's
28:06
just a Wilson. That's a two weeks, right, or it's a lesson
28:08
two weeks. Yeah, yeah, it's the next weekend. It's a day
28:11
out because you're gonna be bombed up Saturday and then it's a one o'clock game,
28:15
or what day it is one o'clock Saturday's events. I'll be going there,
28:19
not Saron Rodgers, break some extra brats and throw them on the fields.
28:27
I just I I hate the Jets, and I'm a Patriots fans.
28:33
I've always hated him. I always laughed at their shit. I just I'm
28:40
not a big Rodgers fan either. But the whole situation is just like the
28:44
way the media built it up. And he's at Taylor swift As at Madison
28:49
Square, guarded for nixt games like the Savior Jesus Christ has come down.
28:53
He comes off humble, but he is very, very full of himself.
28:56
To see him, you know, he says that air of arrogance. He
29:00
had the Darkness retreat. He can find out if he still wanted to play.
29:03
Yeah, yeah twelve not Well, everyone knows he's not that. Do
29:10
you think about happening? Is hek Elliott? I mean, the only thing
29:14
I like about having him is that he can block. He's clean cut now
29:17
yeah, not looking at all. Yeah, yeah, he can he can
29:21
block, so in third downs, I think he's crucial. He can get
29:25
that one year I touchdown run. I mean, other than that, these
29:29
running backs have no shelf life. So I'm doing fantasy football for the first
29:32
time in like five six years, my first year doing it. And of
29:34
course I have Joe Burrow, who put up the worst showing ever I think
29:40
he ever put up. And then I picked. My first pick was Travis
29:44
Kelsey was out out, so I was like, and then I got Garrett
29:48
Wilson. You know, I'm like, he's got something, but he wasn't
29:52
already destroyed and I was already decimated on my first game. I don't like,
29:56
I don't talk too much fantasy because everyone's got a team. But I
29:59
did have fucking Rodgers on for him. I didn't even get a point out
30:03
of him. Uh, everybody had Dad Dak had a bad game too,
30:07
But I mean, obviously they won forty to The defense must have had a
30:10
huge, oh like thirty seven points. Yeah, I didn't look at it,
30:12
but the defensive scores turnovers, punt or they had that seven sacks,
30:18
yeah, seven sacks. Daniel Jones there was a picture of him with like
30:21
the black speckle on his face from the turf. He just looked like and
30:23
I was like many times he had that look. Now, Erica, you're
30:27
like me a path fan, yep, and that is dedicated. No,
30:30
that's fine, but yeah I dressed up in my Brady gear one more time.
30:34
Still. Yeah, I'm so sad to see them lose. Sad for
30:38
my Giants fans that were all excited on Sunday nights. Oh my god.
30:44
I went to bed in like I had to get up early on Monday,
30:47
but it was like mid second quarter. I'm like, all right, this
30:48
game's over. Thank you Dallas for letting me go to bed early, because
30:52
I will stay up till I don't care if as long as a good game
30:53
I'll watch. Had a good first drive and so yeah that wash whatever yeah
31:02
or Blockfield? Well sorry, yeah black Field on the first one. The
31:03
time is getting up earlier for you? That day was seven fifteen. Yeah
31:11
that's really early for yeah. Yeah, I'm like in normal like this morning,
31:15
I was up at like ninety five. Yeah yeah yeah, so okay,
31:21
it was from dead by midnight. But I can't sleep, especially with
31:23
my arm and shit, so I'm tossing a turn all night. My doctors,
31:27
I love them, but they suck. They can't figure it out two
31:30
dogs that stare at me like can you let me out? At three forty
31:32
five? And then one dog goes out, one comes in. The old
31:34
one's just looking at the moon for ten minutes. I'm like, get inside,
31:37
Brody, get inside, and he's just looking at me like I'm good.
31:41
I will say this. So you're a cowboy fan, Yeah, you'd
31:42
have to admit. I hate to say there's a good loss, but I
31:47
thought the Patriots loss was a good loss. Like they had the ball in
31:48
their hand at the end, they could have won the game. The kids
31:52
step couldn't get two feet them downs. Yeah. Uh. Being a Dallas
31:56
fan, you gotta be like, all right, you know, Philly's not
31:59
you know, no touch a bold or not. You know, we're right
32:01
there with him. We're wanting we killed our opponent. They barely swuck by
32:06
any given Sunday. But to see h Dallas obviously offensively didn't go crazy because
32:10
it was it was the weather. It was terrible. But yeah, you
32:15
know, I'm looking forward to this season. But I've had twenty five,
32:19
twenty six years of you know, Dallas depression. Yeah, so you always
32:22
feel like, okay, they'll make it, we'll make it to the playoffs
32:24
and then they'll lose first round. And you know that was fun. Only
32:29
won one game last year. Yeah, yeah, they ended Tom Brady's career.
32:34
How did you become a Dallas fan? I was born into it.
32:36
Yeah, I'm just like my dad passed it down to me. I just
32:38
embraced it. You know that that those were those years when we won three
32:43
super Bowls. It was like it was just Ryan high on the baby training,
32:46
We're gonna do this forever. Yeah, it's like this, it's like
32:49
the So I've been a Patriots fam my whole life. So I went through
32:52
the bullshit of the eighties and early nineties all that, and I appreciate the
32:58
twenty years we had, but I could already see that those kids that grew
33:00
up in that era just being like entitled and now like just oh fuck that
33:06
and probably switching teams at this point, you know, because no team's ever
33:08
going to see that, not in NFL anyway, that kind of twenty year
33:12
run, it's just not gonna happen. A great I mean, mahomes like,
33:15
he may give you a tenure run like that, but twenty you,
33:17
no fucking way. Yeah. They were just so dominant for so long and
33:22
in a very steady way. You know. They they were balanced on all
33:24
the sides, and they made the AFC Championship game like like twelve years in
33:30
a row. It's ridiculous think about that. But then also too, I
33:32
mean obviously, like the Jets were always atrocious, so is Miami you know
33:37
now and but now Buffalo as a team, So it's like that that's the
33:39
division, right, is it like Buffalo New England Jets and Miami. Yeah,
33:44
it's like, but the Jets without Rogers beat beat Buffalo. It's like
33:46
crazy, that is crazy. I bet, I bet Buffalo in the over.
33:52
I was at the casino, so I went to the Fox Star,
33:53
the Draft, Kings, sports Book, Me and camp are all bombed up.
33:59
I didn't know I wanted to take the Jets. I'm just like bet
34:01
and football so tough because then when you have like these penalties or things that
34:05
weren't called it should have been called, then you're just like you're thinking about
34:08
You're thinking about two days after that, it's like Wednesday, and you're like,
34:10
man, I can't believe they didn't call it. Face mask, I
34:16
broke my cardinal role. You don't start bet until like week four. I
34:19
like the dust to settle a little bit. But I was at the CNL.
34:22
I'm in the gamblin mode, let's go, and it didn't get backfired.
34:24
Actually went to bed at halftime. It was just a boring games.
34:28
I had the overlook, there's no way, and they didn't hit the over
34:30
But I was like, when I woke up as a cold, should the
34:30
Jets actually won that game? Like as much as I shouldn't. I still
34:34
like the Niners. You like to see the Niner with this kid. There's
34:36
you know, the mystery irrelevant and brought party and it's I think it's gonna
34:40
be a very interesting wide open season. Yeah, I'm at the point,
34:45
even though I like Dallas, I just want to see good football. Yeah,
34:47
you know, a good game, and there's a lot of crappy games
34:50
on Sunday, but that's just no one plays in the preseason anymore. These
34:52
teams aren't like, they're not well oiled, they're not like you know,
34:57
they just haven't played together right, so you don't really start seeing a good
35:00
games like back in the day. You know, Durtan Brady's era first game,
35:04
first preseason game, he played like three Drives. Second preseason game,
35:08
he'd play like two or three. Third preseason game, he'd play three quarters,
35:13
and then the fourth preseason they'd set him out because the don't want to
35:15
get hurt. And then Sean Fay comes along from the Rams and say,
35:19
I'm not starting any stars all the preseason. And he went to the super
35:22
Bowl, and they're like, oh my god, this is the way to
35:22
go. But you look at some of these games the other day, Like
35:25
I mean the Giants for instance, like they knew they had ballast for five
35:30
months on their schedule the first game and they didn't, well, let me,
35:34
what about the Bengals Browns right, well, and Burrow didn't playoffs preseason
35:38
because he got hurt. Burrow got benched. Yeah yeah, well yeah.
35:43
At that point, it's like, don't get him hurt anymore. I don't
35:45
know, But you any Bengals fans, I don't. I don't think I
35:51
do. I don't think I do. Like I like Burrow though, like
35:54
I like you. I like him as a person. I think he's a
35:57
good quarterback. I was rooting for them in the Super Bowl against every Everybody
36:00
says he's like the home alone kid. Yeah, yeah, he Jack Wilson
36:07
for the jetsc his press conference, kid looks like he's sixteen. Oh yeah,
36:09
I'm like, oh he christ, this guy's young. But he's been
36:13
on the league three years now, so he's like probably twenty four. What
36:16
a what a weird feeling to go from like I'm definitely second string all year
36:20
tore like, oh now I'm for a string right now, right right.
36:22
But next week we got the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night, eight o'clock.
36:27
They look really good Tyreek Hill and they got They had no defense, So
36:30
I think it's gonna be a high scoring game. But we never beat Miami,
36:32
so I'm not I'm not already kind of chocked up one two, But
36:37
I think we're a team. We're gonna win probably hopefully nine or ten games.
36:39
And Dallas has the Jets. Oh that's right. Yeah. You don't
36:45
think soccer is gonna catch a soccer ball with like Leno. Let's say it's
36:52
Leo Messi. Well they they they, well who was the guy Beckham?
36:58
So Beckham joined the MLS, you know, fifteen years ago, twelve years
37:00
ago. They thought it would take off and it didn't. But to Messi's
37:06
defense, he's a much better player than Beckham. Yeah, and he's kind
37:09
of he's not quite in his prime, but he's still on the back end
37:13
of his prime where I think Beckham was pretty much toasted by the time he
37:15
came over here. It was more of a pr stunt. But what MESSI
37:19
did in those first whatever, I don't even know how to see. This
37:22
is the problem the MLS. It's like a tournament within the season. Is
37:25
that what that was? I don't know. I just like because they're pink,
37:30
I have no I have no idea. Yeah, you know what next
37:31
year if you're calling on the show, you're wearing something German. This is
37:34
bullshit. You bring up soccer and that's uh the place up in New Britain.
37:42
Yeah, no, right right right, But that's their billboards they used
37:45
to have around Milford all the time. What's that place called? I know
37:51
he used to have the girl and the billboards used to be all over Milford.
37:54
But the place is in New Britain. Is that it's a beer garden
37:57
up there? What's the place with that movie gym? Cable guy? Yeah,
38:00
a cable guy. When I got up to that place, oh the
38:04
times, No, I just you know, I'm talking about right, yeah,
38:10
yeah, because that was their billboard, Tiki Taki tiki taki. But
38:14
that's an actual German saying right yeah German, like cheers in German? Or
38:19
what does it mean? Yeah, something like that, something you salute to
38:22
when you were Yeah, yeah, I forget that you about place. It's
38:28
gonna I'm gonn look, I'm gonna look it up. All we're talking here.
38:30
I don't get up the hard hitting here. Yeah, hard hitting.
38:32
I love that. Uh, Erica, do you believe in aliens? I'm
38:38
undecided. Undecided. So when I lived in Great Barrington, Massachusetts with my
38:44
mom, I think we got a story coming, folks. Hold on,
38:45
let me get you on camera. There you go. We first moved there,
38:49
I think I was in sixth grade and we have this little apartment and
38:53
I'm in my bedroom and like, I'm like, there's something outside. There's
38:58
something outside in the driveway. It's like it's super bright. It's coming from
39:00
the sky. I didn't tell my Mom's like three days later, it's all
39:04
so terrified, and so like I thought, I come to go like,
39:06
wow, did you you see that light? You know? That wasn't She
39:07
was like I woke me up and I went outside and there was something in
39:10
the sky and my mom's like, not like a bullshit or so she I
39:14
was just like you saw what I saw that kind of thing. And then
39:17
later on there were sightings, you know, so that kind of made me
39:22
feel like, you know, could get anything, could have been a plane,
39:23
but be hovering there, not moving and no sound. That's what she's
39:28
seen. It was just above us with no sound, with a light coming
39:30
down and that was it. Yea, yeah, do you have any sightings
39:35
in your life just it's just like unexplained, like that could have easily been
39:37
a helicopter, but it was kind of weird kind of sightings or no,
39:42
no, no, nothing, No, I've had one. I told it
39:45
before twice on this show. I'll make it real quick. West Haven driving
39:50
back from Springfield, mass at night, coming around the big turn. Gotta
39:53
be fifteen years ago, okay, coming around the big turn and Haven,
39:57
Well, I saw something ninety ninety seven. Uh, and it was a
40:00
big flash of light, like right right by word Va Hospital. It's like
40:04
right before that on ninety five, just this light and the sky just hovering.
40:08
And I was with another five a witness with me. We both saw
40:12
it. And we were like looking up and we're like, what the fuck
40:14
is that? And I kind of slowly pulled over to the side of the
40:15
road. No, it was like fucking two in the morning, and the
40:19
thing just got so fucking bright it lit up the whole sky and then gone
40:22
just like that. And then I think a lot of people saw it because
40:24
Channel eight or whoever shout out the channel light tomorrow. You want to bring
40:28
this up with them now, the guys gonna be a channel light tomorrow during
40:31
during general hospital apparently, Yeah, and they were saying, oh, it
40:37
is this courseky helicopter doing a training flight. That was just like came out
40:40
immediately. My dude, it was like fucking two in the morning. They're
40:45
not doing training flights at two in the morning. Yeah. I do believe
40:47
that the government does cover up a lot of things. I was driving the
40:52
Lawford. I got my license in like ninety five, ninety six. Would
40:54
you like the same flavor? I won't try something different? Yeah, momo
40:59
was there yet. I'll try the water. You guys are more here where
41:01
they Yeah, well, here's the problem. Next door is on the suits.
41:07
We share the same Oh he's making the heat thing. Well, no,
41:09
no, it's she but like she's awesome, but like I don't think
41:13
she's like I like it like ice cold. It was cold out there.
41:16
Which which slaver do you have? Do you want to try the huge?
41:20
Yeah? Yeah, thanks, you've got the watermelon, I will so yeah.
41:24
So it was very sorry, cheers again, cheers. So so it
41:30
was ninety five ninety six a month the Yeah, this is after that I
41:32
first started driving and with a friend in the car, so they kid Joe
41:36
and we're gonna stop sign. I'm looking in the sky and we see this
41:37
weird green light in the sky. Could tell like that's the back of it,
41:42
right, It's moving kind of weird. And from there we're both looking
41:45
at like are we seeing this right? Because it was it was not moving
41:46
like a plane, right, And that thing moved a couple more weird emotions
41:50
and it was gone, you know, we see it gone like and we're
41:52
both like wow. And then years later, I'm would have been a black
41:57
rock at the time, and I'm watching one of those Undiscovered mystery you know,
42:00
on the History Channel, And they were doing UFOs throughout the years,
42:02
the fifties and sixties, seventies, nineties, and in the nineties, they
42:06
said a tway seeing this weird aircraft that a white front green back and they've
42:10
seen it over the sound in the New Haven area of New Haven County area.
42:14
I'm like, that's the that's the fucking that's the thing that I've seen
42:15
back right, And it must have because you described identically. So it was
42:20
kind of cool, you know, here it again fifteen years later. Yeah,
42:23
right, So, like I always like as a kid growing up,
42:27
like the alien movies, like all this stuff, and you know, obviously
42:30
had my own experience. Again, I couldn't explain it. I don't know.
42:31
Maybe it was a helicopter. I don't know. But as all of
42:37
this stuff has kind of been coming out, I uh, I'm like,
42:43
you know, it's almost like life imitating art. Like you see like these
42:47
alien movies and they have these like a director's depiction of of what they might
42:54
think an alien would look like, and then you see whether it's spacecraft or
42:59
something thing you know to that likes coming on. Anyway, My point being
43:02
is in Mexico just yesterday or today, there was a scientist that works at
43:09
the local university and they discovered some small bodies in a mine and they've been
43:15
testing them and running tests on them for the last like five years. And
43:20
this is the bodies in a mine or a mine a mine like a mind?
43:22
No no, no, no, that would that would just be a
43:25
pregnant woman. And I saw, I read this real quick. What would
43:30
lestoul be? A thousand year old non human alien corpses were presented in glass
43:35
display You can google this too and see if you agree with what I think
43:38
the thing looks like. We're presented in glass display cases before the Mexican Congress
43:43
Tuesday during its first hearing on UFOs. They are non human beings that are
43:46
not part of our terrestial evolution, the journalists said. He goes on as
43:52
two small mummified specimens seen with three fingers on each hand were unveiled. Massan
43:57
said researchers at the Autonomous National University of mexic Go. I mean talkt the
44:00
carbon fourteen analysis that determined they are a thousand year old courses. He claimed
44:05
the purported bodies were found fossilizing minds and couscope Peru. And then they went
44:10
on to say that one of the bodies actually had a metal in it,
44:14
like if we had metal in our teeth, like for you know, something
44:16
like that, or you know metal shaft in our arms, right, yeah,
44:21
yeah, yeah that were is one of the most rarest metals in the
44:23
world. And it's just kind of a crazy story. But I'll show you
44:29
the picture after it's it's a quick Google search the picture. It literally looks
44:30
like baby Yoda. Yeah, it really does. It looks like baby Yoda.
44:35
And I'm like, do you think like George Lucas, like back in
44:39
the seventies, was like talking to these dudes when he's like filming fucking Star
44:44
Wars and he's like, what you got when you see some pics? He's
44:46
like, oh shit, Yeah, You're like like there's a whole other world
44:50
of people that have information that we don't. Oh yeah, And it's just
44:53
like, oh man, uh yeah, I don't know longer. Heads changed.
45:01
Yeah, I don't know why this guy went. This guy likes you.
45:05
It's like a good little pet. You guys talk. I gotta fix
45:07
the camera. But no, it's uh, it's always a fascinating me.
45:13
I guess a bit. You know, we're you think about big the universes,
45:15
and you know, it's like it's unvesting. We can't even comprehend that
45:17
as human beings, like how how vast or is out there? And you're
45:21
like, oh, we're just this one solar system where this this one galaxy
45:24
and there's billions of galaxies. You know, you're right. It's like there's
45:28
there's got to be something out there that is above our intelligence. They yeah,
45:32
that's some guy just said to UH today that there they found something thirty
45:39
five million light years away that has traces of some chemical that we that like
45:47
life produces into an atmosphere, right, and there's also forms of water.
45:52
Maybe look at evolution of Like for a while, we couldn't. We can't
45:55
see stars right now, you know, I don't like what's past ten twenty
45:59
years on the those scientists, right, But now we can see planets and
46:01
now I'm from seeing plants. We can see different types of planets, you
46:05
know. So it's like the technology has like yeah, exponentially, you're phones,
46:09
Like you know, twenty years ago, we we all pagers. Now
46:13
we have like computers there, you know, like computer screens. You know,
46:15
so it was twenty years while I'm like want to know, yeah,
46:22
you helped me segue back to eb pat Guardians of the Galaxy ride. I
46:27
haven't so I haven't done it. It's so good. Yeah, yeah,
46:30
I like the movie. Yeah, it made me want to watch the movie.
46:32
I'd watched three so I have how long you wait in line for that?
46:37
Everything's yeah, you have to schedule it, right. And the thing
46:39
that things is like I'm like, oh, I want to go on again,
46:42
and you can't be like all right, like when you were a kid,
46:44
I'm gona go on again. You can't do that right, right?
46:45
Yeah? I did that a great adventure one time. We're like I went
46:47
back and I was like, I'm gonna get the super good pass right,
46:51
And I went on like thirty roller coaster rides that day and the next day
46:53
I couldn't get out of bed. I was That's what I was gonna say.
46:58
The rides have gotten so much better. You're head doesn't bounce around or
47:00
like, I'm gonna go on this ride, but my hiropactor, it's not
47:02
bad. I did the one, uh the Hulk ride at Universal. Yeah.
47:09
I didn't know what to expect and I was really hungover. It was
47:12
my first ride of the day. Agree that We're just like going up the
47:15
hill and then halfway up it takes off on you. You don't need to
47:17
see a comment. Did you ever go to Action Park? I never went.
47:22
I just also be like, if you went there, you were like
47:24
a round. Do you see the documentary? Yeah, I don't remember being
47:29
it like that. I don't know. I wasn't. I was never a
47:31
big ride guy, so I didn't go on a lot of crazy shit.
47:34
Yeah, because I can see that, I kind of I knew what universal
47:38
that made me turn back out to roll the coasters because it's big, like
47:42
the big dip Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a Jurassic Park or
47:45
something like that. Related smooth yeah, yeah, your head doesn't bounce around.
47:50
Do you remember the rotor? Yeah? Oh god, the worst ride.
47:53
Have you know what the rotor is? Yeah? Yeah, so it's
47:55
like a it's a cylinder Carnivals. It was at I did it at Riverside.
48:01
You're like you're stuck to the wall. Yes, and they dropped the
48:05
floor on you. Yeah. I was upside down. I think I screamed
48:09
and made him stop. I was like, I can't do it. Obviously
48:13
gonna do it. Shut your eyes on something like that and just like ride
48:15
it out. But I was like, and you're just staring at the person
48:17
that crossed you. They look like they want to puke, and I'm like,
48:21
what the fuck are we doing on this thing? This is fun.
48:23
Anybody's skydive here? Yeah, no, refuse it. Yeah, I loved
48:29
it. It was good. Yeah. It wasn't like is there any extreme
48:31
event you've never done? No? No, bungee yeah, would you like
48:38
better? I think bungeing was scary actually, because when you're skydiving, you're
48:44
so far up, you have no like relationship with you around. You're just
48:46
up in this the clouds right until like you when you're going up and you
48:51
look, because I was going I did up in Tomilson or you know Danielson,
48:53
Yeah, and I everybody had a flap for the door, and so
48:57
like like thousand or two thousand feet they open up the flap and like you
49:00
can see cars like driving around, like you know building. She's like,
49:01
this is really terrifying actually, But then you get so far up there you
49:05
couldn't even annoy idea what was going on, and you jumped out. I
49:09
think I would probably be I think anticipation of the event would be skydiving it's
49:16
murder, but the actual physical doing it would be bungee, Yeah, because
49:22
I think it's so quick and like you know, everyone's seeing bungee's break or
49:28
you know, or the bungee be not adjusted correctly. And somebody asked me
49:32
if I ever see the one in Daytona kind of like it's sketchy looking.
49:37
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Were you going to
49:40
do that? When I was a kid, me and my buddies went to
49:43
the cat walk on I ninety five bridge. I'm talking about the strip qual
49:49
that. Well, we're doing both in one night. There's there's a cat
49:55
walk below the ninety five bridge over the hoods Time River until we pull or
50:00
bullet alongside it and went up all you know, went up the pylons and
50:02
that's like ninety feet or something. That was terrifying. You hear you hear
50:07
the trucks on top of you know, driving by. That was that made
50:10
beat out bunging and skydiving, Yeah, because it was like what's gonna happen
50:15
here? Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, I don't I don't know if
50:20
I could ever do either one. I think I'm currently too heavy too,
50:24
which is which is like maybe my excuse to come down to the brat where
50:30
he got when I did skydiving, you know, we got to have the
50:35
guy you know, strapped your back per se, So the guy was trapped
50:37
in my back, I'm trapped whatever. He was like my equivalent size with
50:42
my buddy Sean, who's like six five. This guy was like his guy
50:45
was like five six, so he was just like literally a backpack to him.
50:49
I'm like, it's something's not right here, like you guys, you
50:51
guys shouldn't be going together. But it worked out, all right. We'll
50:54
finish on this golf Eric, I have seen me really getting into it.
50:58
I'd like to see that and get it out there. It's just you know,
51:01
a reason to get out there and you hitting him. Taking lessons,
51:05
Yeah yeah, I probably do for a lesson and I guys that I know
51:08
that played for twenty years or they'll take a lesson of time thirty years.
51:12
Oh yeah, it's a refresher courses good. But yeah, I recently bought
51:15
a new set and just like practice like youve got the orchards doing like you
51:19
have short games where it's at oh yeah yeah, yeah. Joe has invited
51:22
me for show for dough. Yeah. No, I became my first time
51:25
being a member of the club as black Hawk orn Oak, and I love
51:30
playing. I'll have a lot of points throughout the round, like I got
51:34
it. I'm feeling good about this. I have a controlled shot right,
51:37
and then it goes hey wire and you get mad for a while. Then
51:38
you have another good shot, you know. So it's a it's a it's
51:42
such a roller coach and you have to keep even keeled, like at some
51:44
point you're always trying to smash your club and you pull back. I don't
51:46
want to smash my club. That's that's a bad idea. But it's fun
51:51
though. It's you know, I had a good year variety, of course.
51:54
I played Great River twice, Waterberry twice, Great Rivers a very hard
51:58
course. Yeah, yeah, the back nines kind of not I wouldn't say
52:02
easy, but more forgiving than the front. The front is really hard.
52:06
I didn't speaking of different. While I was talking to Eric. I played
52:07
for the first time at Bronson. Yep, my buddies are remember there.
52:10
So I played this past weekend in the front nine versus the back and I
52:14
ever played it before. Yep. Yeah, it's like two different walls.
52:15
Yes, it's night and day, night and day, so you ever played
52:19
oak Lane wood Bridge? Yeah, I played both. Yeah, So Oaklane
52:22
is kind of similar to like, like you do the front, like the
52:25
par five first hole is ridiculous, yep, it is, and then like
52:30
it's not like super challenging, but then you get to the back nine after
52:31
the first two holes, and then it's just up and down, up and
52:34
down and down. It's over yea, which is I mean, I love
52:37
the course, but like, if you can score good on the front and
52:40
you're hitting it pretty straight that day, you should end up with a pretty
52:43
solid score. I actually I have a driver ever as a driver, but
52:45
I haven't used my driver in three months because three months ago I had such
52:50
a bad hole in my drive. I put like eight balls out in the
52:52
way that I was like, I'm gonna get this. I'm gonna hit a
52:53
good shot. I couldn't. I'm dumb. Yeah, I like ten Cup,
52:57
you just kept put throwing that ball down and it's missing. It never
53:00
win though, even he had a hole in one or chipped in or whatever.
53:02
But now I usually my three wood, you know, just like dude,
53:07
I'll hit it good. I hit like two twenty five with that but
53:09
fairly straight. I'm like this is it, and then sometimes we'll spray it
53:12
off. But I'd rather play a controlled game than try to be controlled because
53:16
my drivers. So who set our hills? I played with my friend's dad
53:21
who plays in Texas or Florida. We played at Smith Riches a whole.
53:23
These hills are great, Like, oh, you played Florida. There's no
53:27
hills at home. Yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah. Yeah,
53:30
there's a lot of courses. We played Reading Country Club in a tournament.
53:35
Yeah. It was like so many blind shots though, but you're just so
53:38
hilly, you know, you have to know those courses. Yeah, yeah,
53:42
And uh, what's your favorite course? You've ever played? Favorite course?
53:46
The top two? Top three? I mean, Great River is probably
53:50
one of them, just because it's really picturesque and it looks it looks so
53:52
professional. I don't know, I don't know what would make second. I
54:00
like, I liked cleaning up in That was a cool course they just sold,
54:05
did they? Yeah, wheel the wheelers. Actually, so when you
54:09
remember at black Hawk you get restaurants, you can play it. This other
54:13
course, Silo up and on something to an I think. But Silo was
54:17
really nice, nice, not not a course to walk, but it's very
54:21
much. I don't fucking walk anymore the Orchards, is it? It's the
54:24
only course I walk now. Yeah, so yeah, I would take able
54:28
to see those two. You're gonna go River? Yeah, I played this
54:32
is before I played Okay, so I pretty much hacked most of the way
54:36
through. Was that Tory Plaines? Oh? Oh nice? I drove by
54:39
that course once incredibly. Yeah. Yeah, you just said Lake Aisles.
54:43
Was that one of years or no? Uh no, My top three would
54:46
be when I played TPC saw Grass. I used to work there. Nice.
54:52
It's actually not a very hard course, but it's it's just beautiful,
54:58
you know. And when I work to the mayor. I worked at the
55:00
marrit On property in ninety nine and two thousand and we were able to get
55:04
out there a lot, like manager rates and stuff, and I you know,
55:07
I pretty much sucked as like I do now, But but it was
55:10
fun, like a great course, great river. Obviously, it's like kind
55:14
of my home course. I love it, but I play it so much
55:16
I'm kind of used to it now. And uh I played this course last
55:21
year in Orlando's Celebration Country Club. Holy Christ. I mean it wasn't like
55:25
super challenging, but like just talk about meticulous detail. Yeah, I mean
55:31
there's like ladies out there, like you know, tripping the fucking rosebushes as
55:36
you're fucking you're yelling for at him as you were going down the fairway.
55:39
But yeah, those are those are really good. I mean I played a
55:42
lot of stuff but maybe a little recency biased, but yeah, celebration was
55:46
really nice. I love watching golf. You know, you've got like full
55:50
time, but I'll keep in the background doing stuff around the house. I'll
55:52
keep you checking on the you know, the PGA Tour. But some of
55:54
those courses are so beautiful, obviously, you know. The Masters is like
55:59
the my favorite course is to watch and yeah, and it's just like it's
56:02
unbelievable to see, Like I couldn't imagine being there a person. The Masters
56:07
is like, I I know, the Masters is. I almost had a
56:08
chance to get there this year. I had to work, but I didn't
56:12
care. Yeah, it would have been like parking cars. Oh, but
56:15
it like fell through. But like like once once everyone's in, you can
56:19
You're like good for the day to walk around until everyone starts leaving. I'm
56:22
like, and I get paid to do this I'm in and then it just
56:24
never went through. I was so mad. But that course is not so
56:29
like if you hit a shot like ding a tournament, if you hit a
56:30
shot and make a divot like you walked towards, there's like literally guys behind
56:35
the camera like with spray paint cans and they're spray painting the divid green so
56:38
you can't see it on TV when the next guy comes up. Yeah,
56:42
you see a lot of tournaments just like always where everyone there in their drive
56:44
because there's sucking ninety thousand. David's right here. Yeah, they literally spray
56:47
painted. It's like it's like the ball boy and girls come out. You
56:51
was open, like, yeah, they're walking up good now. I was
56:52
there for the TPC tournament in Florida, like I worked it, and you
56:55
know, they shut the thing down for three weeks, four weeks before that's
56:59
in Potter Future Checksaville area and uh, they're you know, they shut it
57:04
down. They groom it perfectly. You know, there's no tipots anymore because
57:07
you don't's play. They won't let anyone play until the tournament starts. So
57:09
it's it's pretty cool how to see how and this is a ninety nine.
57:13
I've only watched it on TV since ninety nine. They maybe had like three
57:17
to four hospitality tents on sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen, and now it's
57:23
just it's like they built a Minister of hotel. Yeah. Even we were
57:28
at Travelers the Travelers yeah, yeah twice and going up eighteen all those and
57:34
then but you know they kind of sit on seventeen, eighteen and one right,
57:37
yeah, and it's it's pretty it's pretty fun. I realized I wanted
57:40
to go to the Ladies PGA yet Great River. But after going there,
57:45
I'm a tenth person. I'm like, wait a minute, I have to
57:47
walk around and be out in the side. It was that where the food
57:52
yeah yeah, yeah, we did the tent on sixteen. Yeah, but
57:55
like the food and drinks were like in the tent and the seeds were out.
58:00
Yeah. In the year before we were on seventeen, my friend,
58:02
it was that it was like it was a Norhegan tent. It was like
58:05
Daytona nineteen. It was so hot. D go go up on the Wednesday
58:10
for the program. Oh yeah. So like I was in the omni tent,
58:16
the hotel and it was everything was free food, and booze yea.
58:22
And on Wednesday, it's fucking one quarter of the people that are there,
58:27
right, But I'm with a couple of year I brought my girlfriend's son and
58:30
his buddy, so I wasn't drinking, but like Dane was there, Like
58:34
you get food right away, you know, I had like two drinks but
58:36
whatever, everything was great, and then we go up Thursday. I'm growing
58:38
up with the boys. On Thursday. I'm a little different here today.
58:42
It's like, you know, ten minutes the way for food, twenty minutes
58:44
from places mob but it's air conditioned in there, and you're on eighteen.
58:49
You just watch the celebrities and everyone so lax that day, Like the kids
58:52
loved it. They got autographs from from all the big guys and you know,
58:54
Ricky Fowler and stuff, and they were kind of in awe. You
58:58
know, they're thirteen and they fucking that. It must have been the last
59:00
one we went to, the recent one. That's right right right when Live
59:04
started, right, because yes, yes, yeah, like the week before,
59:07
yeah, like the week before, like no Brooks kept go. Now
59:10
they're all backing out, you know, like wait, wait, we just
59:14
lost like six good golfers to like this, uh, this other tournament.
59:17
You know. I don't know if you know, but like twenty years ago,
59:20
this tournament got nobody. It was Phil Nicholson and that was in Yea,
59:22
and no one wanted to go because it was right after the US Open.
59:24
They kind of want to scatter, take some time off. But they
59:29
sanctioned this tournament and last five or six years to be an official tournament of
59:32
the FedEx Cup. So these guys are almost forced to play. Yeah,
59:37
I mean you see the field now, it's even with the even with the
59:39
guys that went to Live, it's still a phenomenal field. Like all the
59:43
all the top players are there. Last last year I went there, or
59:45
the year before, I think it was last year year before I went went
59:47
my now wife and it was the playoff between Harry English and I forget the
59:53
other guy. But the playoffs started, We're like, we're here all day,
59:59
it's hot, We're going go home. Drove back home to Milford,
1:00:01
which was like an hour ride, started making dinner. The playoff was still
1:00:06
on the playoff. We left her in the playoff. We drove home,
1:00:09
we made dinner, ate dinner while we're still watching. It was like this
1:00:14
is it was insane. Yeah, it was insane. Do you know what
1:00:16
it was before the GHO? Before the GHO, well history for something I
1:00:23
learned this year. I don't know better. I thought it was just a
1:00:30
GHO. Yeah, before that, it was the Sammy Davis Junior Open Sammy
1:00:37
That's what it was called. I remember of GHO. You remember that.
1:00:40
Yeah, good stuff Erica, good stuff history. But somebody told me that.
1:00:47
Yeah. Oh she didn't google it though, so it might not be
1:00:50
true. I know, actually it does. It does ring a bell though
1:00:52
that. Yeah, you could be one hundred percent right Sammy Davis Juniors from
1:00:55
Connecticut or something. I don't think so. I don't know what the reasoning
1:00:59
was, but he was I think he was big in this area though,
1:01:01
I guess so. I don't know. I just made that up with his
1:01:08
name on something, right, Yeah, I gotta know. I'm gonna do
1:01:10
something there. Uh all right, anything else, We'll wrap it up here.

I moved back and no ship followed me. Went back to the channel lady.
