• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to have you back. You were one of my original
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I would say, one of the original guests. It had
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to be almost four years ago during COVID. You opened
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: obviously right when COVID hit, and we talked about that
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: story before.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: What's new You just hit your five years, right.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: We just celebrated our fifth year in March tenth, and

• 1:06
  Speaker 3: another five years.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: That is awesome.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: If everyone's never been to my bar, if you've been
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to Milford, you've probably been to my bar. But if
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you're ever coming down to Milford, they I put a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: lot of my Stonebridge food up against a lot of people.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But the one thing for sure, our food is a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: little different. But we both have wings, and I love
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Stonebridge wings. But your wings are definitely the best in Milford.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to say it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I granted my wife for that. We put a
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: lot of love in them. We don't just fry them.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you are a secret because my wife
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: will kill me, but I can promise you there's a
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: lot of love in every chicken wing we ever served.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can pull a Tordia. Yeah, thatad of reaching in.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Sorry, no, no, sorry, I didn't wear my headphones, so
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure it sounds good anyway.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: So, like you guys have a you know, like most places,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a ton of flavors. I actually am one of those
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: people that I'm shunned upon because I actually prefer boneness.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And your bonus wings are fucking like super crunchy, which
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I like, sauced up, which I like fucking I love them.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, I credit my wife.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, you got a tattoo on your arm.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You're in trouble. I get it. But we're proud of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: serve them in. And like you said, our entire menu
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: we put a lot of love and everything. And we
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: tell everyone if you can't put love in your food
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and don't serve it right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And by the way, just not the wings there. I've
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: had a lot of food there. The nachos are great,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the burgers are great, the tacos. You've got all sorts
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of tacos, right, different kinds of tacos.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: But you also have libations and and booze.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And beer and we have a few items.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, you know, I don't really go there
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: on the weekends because I'm old and I don't like crowds.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But I'm old, and any people, you own the place,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and you can hike upstairs.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Actually, I'm honestly Tommy. I am in bed tonight. I'll
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: be in bed, so we'll get out of here.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I'll go to my bar.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'll have some wings with ray, and I'll probably be
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: home by nine thirty and passed out.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: That's my life.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Now I'm nocturnal, like I hate.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You know me, I was up till three in the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: morning my whole life. Now I get up at four
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: forty five. So what's what's new with my bar other
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: than five years? Like you know, it's still doing the DJs.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Football's coming up, so you gotta be excited about that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I can't wait for football. I can't even and I
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: hate winter, but uh, I cannot wait. I think I'm
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a New York Giant fan and love the draft. I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: can't wait to see scatt about running around and have
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: dual Carter. It's gonna it's gonna be wild. Yeah, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: just hope I'm not. I don't have high expectations. Six seven,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: seven wins, that'd be competitive. I'd be very.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Happy this party, you feel dart is just gonna come out,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: guns of blazing, and I don't know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You gotta see what's gonna happen. You're probably gonna hold
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the clipboard and that Russell will play.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, yeah, but I can see that ending quickly.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: So can I. If you go one and four, one and.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Five, like fucking bring the kid in.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Bringing to start throwing the darts. I mean, you got
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and you got Jameis Winston too.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: No, I'm saying yeah, like you got weapons kind of.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you know, you got some other.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Guys on the team. I didn't really follow too much
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of the Giants offseason, but I think it's all about
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It's all about preseason. I think if I've heard, like
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the early camp talk was that dark looks like he
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: commands the field.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm reading online all the time.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean that's that's that's exciting.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm a Patriots fan, so I'm dealing
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: with obviously can see my Drake Mabels.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: And I tell you what, Uh, you got the coach
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I wanted with mister Rabel, and he's making some moves.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: They're gonna they're gonna be something to reckon with too.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think I might have to come
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: down this year for the Buffalo New England games.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I can't wait listen. Like I said, I love Mike Rabel.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I think Tennessee really fucked up. Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I think maybe it's a it was a weird situation
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: they had a I mean, they have a female owner.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm not making any light of that or anything
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: or any sense of that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like it's just it's one of those
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: things where I just think they're building a new stadium,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they're in.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: A quarterback flux. They were a terrible team.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, he sat out a year, but I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: want him to hire him last year when we hired
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Gion mao. But like whatever, it was, what it was,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he was kind of the higher in waiting. But when
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: when they fired him, which we knew it was me
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and my buddy talked about every day, he was an
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: awful coach, Mayo.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's not an awful guy, just an awful coach.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And they just scooped up Vable before the Jets could
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: or you guys could.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And well you guys still have Dable, right, Oh.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I think this is why I think it's gonna end
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: up being Dart, because Dable's a quarterback guy, and he
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: loved darts, and he's you know, he's gonna see in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the preseason like, all right, well what am I gonna
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: do with Russell Wilson who's kind of washed and James
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Winston who's just never been great?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Right, and if Dark comes in and.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Throwing darts, throwing darts, I was gonna get into football
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a little while, but you brought it right up, so
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I love it right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, not at all.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So you guys have the ticket do all that? Yes,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: obviously your your Bills ball.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I had the Bills fans. I say you were grateful
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: for them. They they came out of nowhere and adopted us,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: and uh great, great crew, not destructor. They're passionate about
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: their team. They love to eat, and they certainly love
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to drink. So we're all for that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, most football fans do. Buffalo's weird. Like it's like
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like I remember I was in Boston years
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: ago and it was like I was there for like
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: some wrestling event at the TV Garden.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I got bored.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not early into it, and the Patriots were playing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I remember the game, the Patriots playing in the Denver
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a Sunday night and they were down like thirty five
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: nothing and they came back and won, and I just
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: walked across the street to the Heart Bar.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And it was dead.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: There was like three people in there, and I'm like, wait,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is this place dead because the Patriots are getting killed
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Is before the comeback?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And they're like, no, we're a bills bar. I'm like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: what does that even mean? I'll never forget when you
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: told me, like, yeah, we're gonna get the buffalo.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Where do they used to go? Somewhere in Bridgeport, right,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I don't remember. I think it's somewhere in bridge where.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I don't remember what place it was I have.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I remember you saying that when they came in,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I was there when
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they walked in and some kid had the these like
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: fucking knee high socks on with like you know, like
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: fur on them, and then yeah, you're all buffalo. But whatever,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I never got I never went that far. I barely
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: wear anything now associated to the Patriots. But yeah, but
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: do you wear giant stuff.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Often?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't don't know.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I try to stay neutral, especially being in the bar.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I don't.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I know, but they all know.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, everyone knows what.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: They also know. My wife's a Patriot, fanas so their
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: daughter curses.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So but we're all Red Sox fans.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: We are we are all.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Do you know the Red Sox have not lost the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: game since they shook hands with President d.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Trump? Heard this.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And that was over.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I mean it was like two weeks ago, because well,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you take the All Star breaks, that's five days.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: But they won ten straight. Since they should.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Hopefully they can have Trump stop by the club out
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: before they start up again tomorrow. I looked at the schedule.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: They got a two to twenty game. Yeah, they're at
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the Chicago against the Cubby. That should be fun to watch.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good seriously, but we got all
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: our pitching lined up, Gilito, Bao and then Croche.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I think Trump should stop by one more time, just to.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Just give it, Yeah, a little little pep talk.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: To that boy. They all Star breaker.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: You want to talk a little Trump, we can do
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a little try so let let's let's feed off of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: this thing. So it was crazy when when the Red
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Sox so it just blew Twitter up when they went
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in and it was only a handful of guys. It
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't like, you know, a huge crew. But they were
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in DC excuse me, for the National Series, and they
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: were They actually booked this tour like months in advance,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: not even knowing Trump was going to be there. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: when you're doing a White House tour and the guy
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: taking you around says, oh hey, Trump's here, he wants
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to meet you guys, do what would you do? Regardless
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of your affiliation. So like they go in and it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: just like blew everyone up. Everyone, like all the left
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: were like.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, what the buck?
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And then Trump made the greatest tweet after they won
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: eight games in a row. He actually tweeted, oh, the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Red Sox haven't lost the games since.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: They visited me. That's what I love about this guy,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: because he knows how to needle the right, you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the needle the guys.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: He's such a to.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But now he's dividing his bass with this Epstein stuff,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm kind of fascinated by it because I'll tell
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: everyone like, I'm not the biggest I'm a Trumper, but
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not a.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Fucking Trump or die guy.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So so basically, you know, he said, all right, enough
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of the Epstein ship blah blah blah, and uh.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I I don't know how to take it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know either.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I'm confused because like that's something he definitely ran on
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and it's something we want, like us to we want
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to know what the fuck's going on.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: But I also do believe that if his name was
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: on it, it would have been out already, so whatever.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know where to take this, just put then
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: put it out there? Who carres?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I My little theory is because what I read online
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is now all the demic crats are coming out and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh Trump, oh you must not want to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: release it because you must be on it kind of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: ship right, which makes no sense because they would have
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: released it if he was before the election. So is
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Trump kind of mind fucking the Dems into like like
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: letting them come out and say, oh they oh, well
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you know what, the Dems want it? All right, let's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: release it and all these people are on it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, what is this list? Anyways? There's like a
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: VIP list.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, supposedly, yeah, it's a it's a list
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that's of attendees on his flights and attendees on his
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: island and not no, no, no, you need like.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: So now I'm leaning towards I'm going to lead towards
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Trump a little bit because I don't know if he's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: playing a game, if he's playing the long game, he
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: knows he's only got three and a half years left.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I was I want to see that. I don't think
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: i've seen killed himself. There's obviously there's obviously like video
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: taken out of that, But like, do does he keep
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: pushing this narrative and see where it goes?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Or does he all right, let's do a let's let's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: release something because he's losing a lot of I don't
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I see this thing about Trump.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think he cares like he could lose all
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: of his.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: You know, but he does run a clarity being clear
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: with everyone.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: So just uh, I mean, we both want to know
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: what really happened, you know. I I but.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I guarantee it. There's a lot of Democrats on that
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: list too.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well, I mean I think that's the thing.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: There's Democrats, are Republicans, there's too many people that, too
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: many people know, there's donors, there's this, there's.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: That, and his politics.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And as much as we might like Trump, he's a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: politician now, so he has to play that political game,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and that's what sucks. I mean, I wish he could
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just go in and literally drain the swamp. But he
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: got deals and kickbacks as a businessman growing up in
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: New York, so I get it. You're not going to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: get some squeaky clean guy ever to come through.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: You know. The other thing that he was, you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: a big seller was the no tax on tips and overtime.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Now I'm hearing it's like certain limitations of some sort,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: like you have to pay the taxes first, that you
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: finally get it back or to a certain amount. You say,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: no tax on tips in overtime. How a would we
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: leave it at that? Well, I don't know if it's
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: that easy and cutting dry.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it is, because I think the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: reason why they do that and they limited to twenty
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: five thousand, was because I was on like you and I,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we were both on this in the beginning.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Oh shit, this sounds too true, and it is a
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: little bit too good to be true. But it's the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: tips is twenty five thousand dollars tax credit. It's dollar
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: for dollar. Okay, So yes, you have to pay the
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: taxes up front, and they're retroing it to January first too. Okay,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: So whatever you made thus far, it's dollar for dollar.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And then when taxis and rolls around and you get
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: twenty five thousand dollars tax credit, that's not twenty five
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars in your pocket. It's the first twenty five
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars that whatever you paid on taxes will be
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: credited back to you. So me, I used to pay
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: like ten grand. Well here, yeah, the taxes because nothing
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: was claimed.

• 14:30
  Speaker 1: which is you know, you just got to budget differently,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you know, right, the overtime thing, I think it's kind
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: of the same structure.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: It will be taken out up front.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: These already centives to go to work, yeah, I mean
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: that's for sure. Yeah, and god knows everyone's having trouble

• 16:21
  Speaker 2: was there? So we have a vape shop.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Right, in downtown Milford, right right right next to the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: stone Bridge, right around the corner from my bar.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: And it's been there a couple of years now, right.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what it's been that long.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely the second summer.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I think one time I saw two people in there.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Now, I remember when they first opened. They were stocked
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to the gills with you know, the vape ship they had.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: They had the whippets and the fucking you know, and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the fucking bongs, and then they had I think seventy
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: five different flavors of pringles.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I never went in there and bought anybody. I was like, damn,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that's impressive.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I did at Eli Gonna drew over there. He's like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I'll be back. I get you some. Yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: So I just saw on on sene media.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, there was some police activity and they shut it down,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: like they just cease and desisted the whole operation, and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: they like they like yellow taped it off. And then
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: they did the one over here in which they're probably related.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: They gotta be selling weed or something.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: But what the fuck we legal It's got to be
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: something more than weed.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, quite the conspiracy.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're on the Epstein list.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: They might or they got deported. Uh.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And then there's Ron Raul Valley. So for any non
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: mil for people. This actually made national news quick synopsis.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: A few years back, like two three years ago, there
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was a high school party, some fights broke out. Everyone
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: went to a different high school party with parents were home.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Another fight broke out. This kid, Raleh Valley was either
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: they couldn't figure it out in court, but he was
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: either brought a knife or handed a knife.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: He was on the.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Bottom of a pile slashed.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Some people got up, went to the car, still had
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the knife on him, went back to the whatever fight
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: and stabbed this kid McGrath and killed him.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: And sad story all around. We've all been to high
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: school parties when we were younger and fights broke out
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and you know, might even seen a knife, you know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: usually just flashed, never really used.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I've never been involved in anything like that, but I've
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: seen it, you know, when I was in high school
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and college and unfortunately, this young lacrosse player from Fairfield
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Prep died and.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I was actually on jury duty for this case.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I knew, you know, too many people involved, so they
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you know, didn't select me, but I followed it pretty closely,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and I think it's a Travis. So anyway, raul Valley
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: was found basically not guilty on most counts, even like
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: aggravated assault he wasn't charged on and and then he
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: just went right to Instagram and he was down at
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Gulf Beach.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: And party in his dad's house with all his buddies.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: And it just disgusted me.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And it's our judicial system.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It's it's you know, he got his due process, he
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: All that blah blah blah. I just don't understand. I
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: get the first part.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: If he's on trial for stabbing some people, slashing trying
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to get out of that bottom of that pile. But
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: when he went back with the knife still in his hand,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: with blood on that knife, correct and stabbed Jimmy McGrath.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Well, I was told he had any part of any
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: He no, he didn't know, he didn't know. I think
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: McGrath was one of the kids trying to break up
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: some of the ship that was going on.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Right, And I could be wrong, but it was my
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: understanding that he went to a vehicle and retrieved the
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: knife and went back in and I know that he didn't.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: He didn't leave the house that night premeditated. He was
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: going to kill him in the staff for it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: People, No, and I agree.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: With but in my opinion, and my opinion, only once
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: he went to the car to get the knife, that's
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: premde it to you from there on and there's I
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: don't like I said he got he I don't. I
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: don't understand it.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I think the prosecution sucked. I think they went very
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: high for a charge.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Uh I think, I mean, I think he's going to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: get sooth civilly through the ass.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: They're trying to go after a lesser charge.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm the parents, I'm like, do.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: You really want to go through this whole rigamarole of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you know, hearing how your kid died?
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Again?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Uh don't even if this kid gets
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: found guilty of this lesser charge.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: What about manslaughter?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, well no, he beat manslaughter, right, I mean,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: what's left? I don't know it's a you know, involuntary manslaughter.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know, is he really gonna spend any jail time?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I mean I think if now you just focus on
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: civil I mean, who am I to talked, it's not.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: What about parents, parents, hosts and under raide drinking parties?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there is a local flavor to that too,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Yes there is. What are your thoughts on that?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: But outside of this case, what are your thoughts like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts has some tough laws on that, like when you
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: kids were kids, What are your thoughts on that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I'm taking everyone's keys and I know they're all their
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: close friends. We knew them all and obviously we didn't
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: we didn't endorse what they were doing, but we made
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: sure we look everyone's keys and if somebody's a ride,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: you asked me and my wife, and we we weren't
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: big parties like that. I mean, there was are like
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: maybe four or five six of them. It's a it's
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: a if I don't know what, I don't know what
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: the right danna say.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Well, so I think I think whatever you I think
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: what you just said is right with with a caveat,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: because I think what went wrong here was the parents
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: let a party.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Happen on their front yard.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Right when I was young, and I wasn't a big
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: drinker at all in high school, I barely drank, but
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I went to some I had I had a kind
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of a tight knit friends. We would drink it at
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: our house in a basement of a friend's house, and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: we would stay the night and the parents wouldn't care
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: because we weren't leaving.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't a fucking, full on, fucking party.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that that last family both whatever the other.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I guess the first house, the parents weren't home, the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: second house they were. Now they weren't at the party
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: outside in the yard. But like, I'm sorry me personally,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I see.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: The shit going on.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Get out, fight breaks out, get the fuck out of here,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: out because.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: They're going to be in big trouble. They're going to
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: be in big trouble.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, just you you put you can't put yourself
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in that situation. No, Like I So, I grew up
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: in a divorced family and my mother didn't remarry, but
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: she dated a guy and when I was in high
• 23:26

• 26:23
  Speaker 1: of the one in Texas, and it was the river
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: just flowing and then literally like almost like a like
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: if you see like a tsunami in the in the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: ocean when earthquake hits.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: There was just like three foot.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Wave and it just fucking came down out of nowhere,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: just like I don't know, I could be wrong, you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: you don't know. I mean, my whole show is now
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: based on there used to be a fun Now it's
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy show. But like there's no dams. Uh, it's
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: it's like they released a gazillion gallons of water. Because
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: if it's just heavy rain, it's so. I was in
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a heavy rainstorm last two a year and a half
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: ago in Cape Coral, Florida, and I had just dropped
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: my girlfriend or son off the airport and I'm driving
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: over the bridge and I joke to her, I won't
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: hash on some of people that listen along because they've
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: heard the story. But I come over the bridge and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I take a picture of this big dark cloud coming on.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Cape Coral's like an island.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not a big you know, it's not like an
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: island island, but it's you know, you gotta get a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: bridge to get there. And I'm just driving down the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: main Cape Coral Parkway and you know, it's raining pretty good,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and there's like a little level of water, and there's three.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Lane it's not a three lane highway, but it's a
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: three lane.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Road, and all of a sudden, now it's creeping middle
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: into the middle road.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Like just you know, standing water.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You know, by the time I get to where to
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: take the right to go to my mom's house up
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the street, it's you know, a foot of water. And
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it took me like three hours to get home. I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: had abandon my car. I had to walk home.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: It was just crazy.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: But it was, you know, a four hour process of
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: five inches of rain in forty five minutes.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: It's like the shit that happened up in the valley
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: and all of that right that was taking out British.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I've been seeing these videos tell me of like.
• 28:16

• 30:02
  Speaker 1: of a river, and I just don't understand how it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but like if you're like even
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: in a tent or something, you're gonna hear it, right,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: But I just don't understand how it comes down that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Like it literally is a tidal wave of water on
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a river in a state right that has no.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Ocean bounds that took the bridges out. There was like
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: a black cloud hovering over area down here. Wasn't that bad?
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: They got destroyed up there and just sat there. Got me,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: who should we blame?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Well, they had that cloud seating.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Did Joe Biden do it? No? I don't know. I'm
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: just curious.

  Speaker 2: Joe Biden's dead. Do they alive?
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: You're getting me gotta blame somebody.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: No, But they had that that.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: There was some CEO of some cloud seating company and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: he went on all the whole talk show circuits because.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: They you know, the internet.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Slews mapped his company plane in like a circle eight
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: over the start of the flooding.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: On the Guadalupe River.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: So he came out defending himself that, oh no, we're
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: just up there to blah blah blah blah blah some
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: like young twenty five year old these a CEO of
• 31:15

  Speaker 3: Yeh, I.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Because of the droughts and well that's chemtrails. That's completely different.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but it's the same kind of theory, like
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you know, they they will back then it was like
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the little you know, propeller things and they would go
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: into a cloud and they put some chemical in it
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and it would it's like ions or something that weather.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's playing God, Yes, yes it is.

• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I walk right up. I don't need to hear this guy.

  Speaker 2: I saw Huey Lewis when I was a kid, like fourteen.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: My mom was a big fan. It was this member
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of the Sports album. Yeah, that was like his biggest one.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: But no, he didn't. He didn't screw me over like that.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: He pished me off. I don't blame that any four
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: guys singing with no instruments. That was not why I'm here.

• 34:58
  Speaker 3: But I'm still a David Lee Roth guy. Yeah.

  Speaker 1: And I don't want to like put a fucking you know,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: bad karma juju on the conversation.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: But I think they're all correct, and I think it
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: needs to change, and I think the.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Alcohol industry has a lot of money behind them to
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: make it change.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: But what do we do? Like, how do we get
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: to all?
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: So I got a fifteen year old in my house.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Right he comes home, he's just up in his room,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he'll go bike riding with his
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: friends and he plays sports like he's not just completely
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: an introvert, but like he'll be up there for six
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: hours at a time and it goes to bed. I'm like,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: what the fuck, I mean, what are you doing, Like,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I can't get mad at him because that's that's what
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: they all did. I have a feeling this had a
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: lot to do with COVID when you know they literally
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: kids talked through Xbox.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: That's how they communicate each other.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to say, look, what's the solution, Tom,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: But like, how like you're a bar owner, you must
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: see the difference pre.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean I don't know, Like, well.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: You're in Vegas forever, right, correct?
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: So you saw that lifestyle. How do we how do
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: we go back to the Roaring eighties and nineties.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: And great era growing up? And I wouldn't trade that
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: for a minute. When my brother and I came home
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: from school, throw it back back in our room. We're outside, Yeah,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: without a phone, yep, We're playing out in the woods.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: We're playing ball.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: I have a phone till I was twenty six years old.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Yep. And times have changed. It's sad. It's taking a
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: hit on youth sports and programs throughout every everywhere. You know,
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: it's just they're not active. They got to get out there.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: And as far as the alcohol, legalizing marijuana, it's a
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: double edged sword. I'm not against it, but you have
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: to stop walking into someone's restaurant wreaking like a guy.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Damn marijuana plantation any It's very annoying. Like I said,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: I'm totally pro marijuana. It just has benefits. But there's
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: a time and a place for everything. I can't be
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: sitting in the Madona's drive through in the whole car
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: in front of me looks like Spaccoli just got out
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: of the van. Come on now, stop. You know, there's
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: got to be some limitations here, a little bit of discipline,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: you know, even with the vapor in the bars, I can't.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I believe it started interrupt but I believe it on
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the government too, the local government, state government, whatever, when
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: they just like legalize marijuana but didn't like.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Explain exactly what the rules are.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: What the rules were?
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, was sitting there standing in front of the
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: bar having a smoke, right, No, I just smelled One
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: car after another just billowing marijuana. Right, you're driving right.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I've had doordas drivers commenced him, what are you doing?
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: My whole plate, our whole place, reeks, stop it. You're working,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: you're working. It's great and I'm not afraid to tell them,
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: and I'm not trying to be an aspect.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Go wash up, but start fucking arresting these people.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: A cop runs up on a guy and he's the
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: whole car smells like we fucking arresting.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: And that's the other problem too, with the society now,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: with the judicial systant going back to the valley thing,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: there's no penalty for your actions anymore. People have restraining orders,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: they keep violating them. You're still walking thereat and doing
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: it again and again and again. The cops say they
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: arrest somebody, No, all you do is handm is not
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: arrested when you detain them and get them out of here, right.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: An arrest now is when you write them a piece
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: of paper to appear in court in front of Judge
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: Schmoe whoever it is, just judy. That's not an arrest.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: That's a promise to appear, you know, it's just the
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: judicials is absolutely insane. The police keep arresting the same
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: people over and over and over and over because they're
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: but because the cops can only do what they're told.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: No, how do we get the gen Z crowd to
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: socialize in person?
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Like, how do we put the phone away?
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, I know, but that that that's not
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: going to happen. So now, how do we like seriously,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: this is good? Like I feel like five years from now.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, you like, like, all right, twenty years from now,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: you and I are most likely not deading gone, but
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: we're out of the business.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: We're out of the game.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: We're done, We're in the sunset. And then there's only
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: how many people left behind us?
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: So I think everyone that's like thirty and above are
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: still the drinkers, you know, the socialized, the social drinkers,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: the social lights.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: It's a good question.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Will there be social lights in twenty years that are
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: in their twenties. I don't it's scary, but I don't
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: know if that's going to be true. And question, social
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: lights are what drives the economy. This is what scares
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: me about the Democrats. This is what scares me about the
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: guy that's running for fucking mayor of New York.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: This is this is socialism, and they want they don't
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: want you to go out.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: They want you to feed off the government teat. They
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: want you to fucking collect from them. They want you
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: to stay home.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: They want to control you. Yes, and that's what happened
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: during COVID, Like, we need.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: A studio fifty four somewhere. We need we need cocaine back.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: I never did cocaine, but we need cocaine.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. You know what goodonia it's good. It's good
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: for business. I don't know what to tell you. I
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: don't want to see it, but it's.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: But I'm dead serious, like there's something that there's a
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: shift and it needs to shift back to where people
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: go out.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Like so this is like a tricky subject because Okay,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: you're gonna drunk drivers, You're gonna have fucking.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: People on drugs.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, I get that, but we've gone this far. Yes,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: people have gotten hurt and killed over the years, but
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: we've gone this far where society has been just fine.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: And I just feel like twenty years from now, there's
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: not gonna be really any like nightclubs, anymore bars or
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: you know, there'll be.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Restaurants and people want to go out to eat. But like,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: like I see it as stone Bridge I do. I
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: hate to say it, but like you know, Saturday nights,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: you know, the college kids will come back.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Soon and and we'll be slamming again. But that's not
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the crowd I'm looking for. But that's the crowd we need, right,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: like we need those kids. But it's crazy now people
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: will come into stormas Sacred Heart alum whatever. They're like
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: twenty four and they're already like, I don't really want
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: to go on anymore. I'm too old for this place.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I'm too old for anywhere, just gonna go home. I'm like,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: wait a second, Right, I'm fifty one. I still go out,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: and I love going out.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: And I'm fifty nine, right, and I'm a bar owner
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: along with my wife obviously, and I truly been doing
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: in this injury close to forty years and the amount
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: of hard work that we have to put in and
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: seeing a room full of happy people at the end
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: of the night is the most rewarding feeling I get
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: ever had it. And I got that from my father. Right.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: People don't realize what it takes behind me, just what
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: we can hand you a bottle of butt light, right,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: They have no idea.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I used to get in trouble with my with my
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: ex girlfriends when Facebook first came around. These girls would
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: come in, they'd Facebook fed me, They'd have a great time.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: They get home at three in the morning. At set
• 51:16

• 51:18

  Speaker 1: Like where is that now? Like I know you, I
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: know you get it there. We still get it in
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: a stone bridge. But it's just it's like few and
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: far between now.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: It's like.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I just, I just it's just a different generation.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: I know. That's what I'm saying.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Gen Z like this, this generation, they're like this. They're
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: on their phones. I even see it right in front
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: of me.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: There's a group of four people sitting down, they order
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: four drinks, and they all go on their phones.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: Well what about me?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: You and I could talk for fucking ten hours without
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: looking at her phone outside outside of this side of
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: this podcast, right, Granted, we got fucking one hundred and
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: nine years of stories can tell, but like seriously, like,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: holy shit, if you know, if these walls could talk
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: kind of thing, there's not that fucking ship anymore.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone and the other everyone's on their phone. And
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: what I see a lot in the bar.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Is.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: I could tell all the young kids who are watching
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: ball games getting really loud. They're gambling on their phones
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to go off on it on a
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: little side rant. I lived it, uh out and out West.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: I had my issues several years ago. And when I
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: see a fan duel, what's the other one? Draft Kings,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I see the and MGM, I see all these celebrities
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: and door seeing this shit, and they're glued to their phone.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: They're leaving pissed off. I just blew five hundred bucks. Well,
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: you're fucked and it It's a really, really dangerous game
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: that they're playing, especially with our youngest generations, and it's
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: I can't even explain it enough. I want to just
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: throw a bottle of beer through my TV when I
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: see these commercial at all the times of the day
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: and night when people are vulnerable, especially late night, you
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: get drunk thumbs, you wake up broke. I lived it personally.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: I have my gambling issues in my younger days. Well,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: I packed up a frigging wrider truck and I drove
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: three thousand miles to get away from it all, and
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: that was without my phone. I lived it, and what
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: I see going on now on a daily basis, I
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: could tell like the mood swage with people. If I
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: can stop, I would do in a minute, you're literally
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: killing yourself with your phone.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Because of that, I couldn't agree more. And I'm gonna
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: piggyback on this. This is actually a topic that I
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: have a couple of friends in mine that I want
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: to come on the show to talk about because I
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: think it's the next epidemic in this country. It's more
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: than drugs. This is this generation's epidemic. The way the
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: government and the TV networks turned a blind eye to
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: gambling for years. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let me
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: rephrase that. For years, gambling was taboo. It was a
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Vegas thing. It was a bookie thing, and we all
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: lived yet you were in Vegas.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: I had.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: I was a bookie.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: I was a bookie when I was twenty four years old.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: And I was never a huge gambler. I've lost money,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I've won money. I had a great eight streak two
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: years ago. I haven't really placed the bet online outside
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: of horse racing in a year and a half.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: I just don't have the itch. Yank, fucking god. I
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: don't have the itch because I can get it.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I don't have it anymore. But to piggyback on what
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: you said, I see it too. I see these kids
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: with a fucking random West Coast basketball game on over
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: my shoulder telling me that they took the Lakers in
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to fucking outscore them by three points,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: just in the fourth quarter, not the fucking game. When
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: we bet Tommy, it was the point spread and the
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: over under.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: You could do a threeteen this live betting shit.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: And here is you can't, like you said, you cannot
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: go six minutes on ESPN without them promoting you watched
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: the bottom When we watched the bottom line ticker, it
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: was a score yep, and probable starters for a fucking
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: baseball game.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Now it's fucking the odds and all this bullshit it
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: and now the government doesn't seem to care anymore.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: No, they don't.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: They turn this is where I'm at.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: They turned the blind eye to it now because you
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: know what, it's revenue for them.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: They don't give a fuck. But there's right now, there's
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: an eighteen year old kid.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: There's a sixte year old kid that stole his mother's
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: credit card, who has the fucking website, who lied that
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: he's eighteen years old because there's no actual verification check
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: on these phones. Nope, No, they just click yes, I'm eighteen,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: and they start put a credit card in, it gets verified.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: They fucking put three hundred dollars in.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: They lose it. Well, now, fuck I lost three hundred.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: My mom's gonna see them three hundred dollars lost. Let
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: me put another three hundred, make it back, and she'll
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: be happy with me.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: Even with the even just aside from the sports, you
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: can play slots, you can right fucking play blackjack? Are
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: you already a five?
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: So when Fando first came out and I got on it,
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: when I was still gambling, I was actually at my
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: bar one yeah, and I hit, like, I don't know,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: six hundred bucks right, got all bombed up, went home,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: went on blackjacket, lost, lost six seven minutes.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, broke even.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: But but I I'm fifty fucking one years old. I
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: can afford to lose that money. I'm not gonna ever.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: I'm smart. I get I have friends that are like
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: they they are recovering addicts of gambling, and I appreciate.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: The fact that they that they went through it, they
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: figured out they're not going to gamble anymore. I'm telling you,
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad we brought this up because it is.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: This fast again fast five years. Because this is so
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: bad that people don't realize. I want to ask anyone
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: listening to this show, next time you watch a Yankee game,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: or a Red Sox game, or a football game, god forbid,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: because the gambling is the big gambling season is coming up,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: because all the podcasts are gonna be gambling podcasts.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, football's coming.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Just wait.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Just watch ESPN for one day, one Sunday afternoon and
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: watch ESPN and try to go three minutes without seeing
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: an a for gambling. It's fucking awful.
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: They gotta be going fucking nuts right now because during
• 58:05

• 58:08
  Speaker 3: TV until tomorrow. Dude, they gotta be jon.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: I know people that gamble on fucking ping pong in Japan.

  Speaker 2: I'm not even joking. It's fucking insane.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah what what what do you the game on a
• 58:22

• 58:28
  Speaker 3: see it in these kids.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: But back in the back in our day, here's here's
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: another part of the situation.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Back in our day, we had to front the money
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: at the fucking Vegas. Yes, you couldn't go up to
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: a fucking teller and be like, oh, just I'm good
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: for it. Yeah you know, I mean the bookies. Yes,
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: you can obviously front, you gotta pay on Monday or
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Thursday whatever thing.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: But in Vegas you actually had to dish out the
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: money up front, correct, Which I think is the only
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: good thing about these websites is you can't bet without
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: putting the money in first, which gives a little I
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: guess trepidition or trepidation.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Of putting money in. But again, when it's credit cards,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: like these kids don't even know about.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: Credit cards and how much they can And if anybody
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: out there listening to this show would like to talk,
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: I'm always there to listen, and if I can give advice, because,
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: like I said, I'm not no one else's father, brother,
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: but I lived it, and one thing I could say,
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: I woke up many in morning's for my fourteen years.
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: Others say what the fuck did I do last night? Right?
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: And I refuse to download any kind of gambling app
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: on my phone, and they wake up with a clear
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: head every day except for alcohol.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: We've gotta have one advice, Jesus Christ.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: So like I said, but at least you pay for
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: the alcohol. At the time, absolutely despise these commercials. They
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: are so what they're doing to this generation, it is
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: just being ignored. I don't want to hear the little
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: commercial if you have a problem gambling. There's a lot
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: of balls to make that correct And what are they
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: gonna do.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Right when we grew up, until about maybe fifteen years ago,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: there was never a liquor commercial on TV.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: They were banned. They are now no, no, no, I understand that,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: but they were banned. Y beer commercials were there, correct,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: but no, you could have no liquor commercials.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: And then they.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and they were like, well, you know what,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: let them happen.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's just it's if the government allows anything
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: like this to happen, it's for a reason, and it's
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: just simply for money. That's all it is. And I
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: implore anyone. I'm not saying if you if you can
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: gamble within your means and gamble as a hobby and
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: you're just like I, I'm not saying I'm done gambling.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I go to because I'm going to you know, I'll
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: do that kind of shit. But again, I if I
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: go to Sino. I bring five hundred bucks with me.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: If I lose it or lose it, that's it.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: If I go on Fandle, I'll put two hundred bucks
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: in and I'll do some parlays. If I lose it,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: i'll lose it. If I win, I'll cash and I'll
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: try to hit on it.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: I know it's easier said than don it is.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: It totally is, totally.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: I'm glad the casinos are an hour plus away. Thank
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: God they didn't want to bridge. Thank god.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: I would have been ghetto. Anyway, you're been to the Springfield.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: We're going through the ghetto to get there.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I honestly, hey, when I had when I
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: literally have two, I have two ex gamblers there there.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: They went through gambles, Anonymous, so did I.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: I would love to.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: Have you on for that show because I think, I think, uh,
• 1:01:36

• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: haven't wait too much fun days. She's a saint to me.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: She shall have me at least twenty times. And it
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: wasn't about not being loyal to her vice vices. Yeah,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: that's it. Yeah. So, like I said, if anybody wants
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: to talk, I got a lot of stories that my
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: mother's bar was twenty four to seven for thirty three
