- 0:56Speaker 1: I want to give a big shout out to tour
- 0:58Speaker 1: who runs the Turkey. He was on a few weeks
- 1:01Speaker 1: prior promoting it. Almost two thousand people. I don't know
- 1:04Speaker 1: if that's how many people showed up, but it was
- 1:06Speaker 1: a good turnout. It was raining and cold and windy
- 1:08Speaker 1: and miserable, but we had a blast. The rum Runners played,
- 1:11Speaker 1: they did raffles and Viva sponsored it and I think
- 1:16Speaker 1: Two Roads are not Nepco and maybe Two Roads was
- 1:19Speaker 1: there tribus so everyone had free beer afterwards.
- 1:23Speaker 2: It was it was awesome.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I saw a lot of Vivas in everybody's hands, so
- 1:26Speaker 1: that made me happy. And then we went out and
- 1:29Speaker 1: ate dinner. And you know, isn't amazing how like he's
- 1:32Speaker 1: just like it's you don't really do anything.
- 1:35Speaker 2: You just get exhausted. Yeah, you're not working, but you're
- 1:38Speaker 2: just exhausted. Yeah, you just let all the wind out
- 1:40Speaker 2: of your sails.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Yeah, but you you've got two weeks till the big day.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Yea December fourteenth, Saturday, Saturday at Grassy Hill Country Club,
- 1:49Speaker 2: keeping Milford warm. It's your eleventh year.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Eleventh year we started. Yeah, yeah, it's incredible where it's
- 1:54Speaker 3: come from. And we started, we were talking about the
- 1:56Speaker 3: other day. We started with about thirty five people that
- 2:01Speaker 3: got together at the Milford Yacht Club eleven years ago
- 2:04Speaker 3: and it's grown to a full foundation now and we're
- 2:09Speaker 3: doing some good stuff. We got some great board members
- 2:11Speaker 3: and got a lot of great companies and individuals that
- 2:15Speaker 3: support us and have support us. We have some that
- 2:18Speaker 3: have just been there from day one and hung in
- 2:20Speaker 3: there with us.
- 2:21Speaker 2: So it's good stuff.
- 2:22Speaker 1: So for people that haven't heard us talk before, run down,
- 2:26Speaker 1: keeping me from yeah.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Keeping them from one was started, as they said, eleven
- 2:30Speaker 3: years ago. And the reason was started is that I
- 2:35Speaker 3: came across a family that couldn't afford eat and I
- 2:39Speaker 3: had met them through the Milford Kuanas Club and I
- 2:42Speaker 3: was shocked at that point that there wasn't any relief
- 2:47Speaker 3: for folks in town. And at that time it was
- 2:50Speaker 3: the Salvation Army that allocated about on the high side
- 2:54Speaker 3: two thousand dollars for the whole city if they could
- 2:57Speaker 3: you raise some money through their way campaigns.
- 3:00Speaker 4: And Christmas and stuff like that.
- 3:02Speaker 3: So I just took it upon myself and went to
- 3:04Speaker 3: the Milford Kawana's Club and said, hey, you know, this
- 3:08Speaker 3: is I think i'd like to, you know, see if
- 3:10Speaker 3: we can set up a foundation totally nonprofit. Every single
- 3:13Speaker 3: penny we raised would go to keeping bill for warm
- 3:16Speaker 3: keeping people.
- 3:17Speaker 2: You know warm.
- 3:18Speaker 3: So when we started, we started with just oil, and
- 3:21Speaker 3: now we do oil, gas, electricity.
- 3:24Speaker 2: We're even doing pro paane for some folks. Wow.
- 3:27Speaker 3: So it's really it's it's really grown immensely. In eleven years.
- 3:31Speaker 3: We've probably are in the neighborhood of about seven hundred
- 3:34Speaker 3: thousand dollars that we've raised and all that. As I said,
- 3:38Speaker 3: everything everything we raised goes directly to keeping people warm
- 3:42Speaker 3: in Milford.
- 3:43Speaker 2: That's awesome. And like we've talked about this before in
- 3:46Speaker 2: the years.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Past that you know, you don't like, Milford's a great town, fabulous,
- 3:52Speaker 1: you see some homeless, but yeah, yeah, you know there's
- 3:56Speaker 1: other people too that just you don't realize that their bills.
- 3:59Speaker 4: And that's true.
- 4:00Speaker 3: And I think that we saw the need change over
- 4:03Speaker 3: the years, and it's just regular. It could be your neighbor,
- 4:06Speaker 3: regular folks who possibly lost a job, hit hard times.
- 4:12Speaker 2: It's a it's.
- 4:12Speaker 3: A variation walk of life that we deal with. And
- 4:17Speaker 3: you know, I can sit here today and tell you
- 4:19Speaker 3: that no one is going to go without heat or
- 4:22Speaker 3: electricity in Milford because of us, And that's where we're
- 4:26Speaker 3: very proud of that, you know, And if there's.
- 4:28Speaker 2: A need we're going to be there and take.
- 4:29Speaker 1: How many families do you guys have helping out here?
- 4:31Speaker 2: You know, it changes.
- 4:32Speaker 3: I mean we can have a week where you know,
- 4:34Speaker 3: the weather's changing. Now, we can have a week where
- 4:36Speaker 3: the phone can ring a dozen times. We can have
- 4:39Speaker 3: a week where the phone doesn't ring at all. Uh,
- 4:42Speaker 3: And then we get now we get a lot of
- 4:43Speaker 3: referrals from people to pick up and say, hey, I've
- 4:46Speaker 3: got a neighbor, I've got a friend, or whatever the
- 4:48Speaker 3: case may be, can you help us? Right, So it's
- 4:52Speaker 3: it changes every single year. And the other thing was
- 4:56Speaker 3: which was interesting is when COVID hit, you know, we
- 4:59Speaker 3: didn't spend a lot of money simply because there was
- 5:04Speaker 3: a lot of free money so to speak, between state
- 5:07Speaker 3: and federal government. And when all that went away about
- 5:11Speaker 3: a year and a half ago, the need really really
- 5:14Speaker 3: crimed at that point. So you know, we were back
- 5:17Speaker 3: at it and again raising money and then doing the
- 5:19Speaker 3: best we can.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's phenomenal in this whole town. I've
- 5:24Speaker 1: talked about a million times just the stuff. I mean,
- 5:27Speaker 1: you roll right into this weekend and you know you
- 5:29Speaker 1: got the turkey trot Thursday, right, the tree light last night.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You know, all the stuff that goes on, there's all
- 5:37Speaker 1: the way up through the hollid.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's all summer, I mean all a year long.
- 5:39Speaker 2: There's something going on down.
- 5:41Speaker 3: There's some really great folks in the city and the
- 5:44Speaker 3: really great companies that they're just you know, we I'm
- 5:48Speaker 3: amazed when we started this. We have a big group
- 5:51Speaker 3: of people that have been with us eleven years ago.
- 5:54Speaker 4: And just say, Kevin, what do you guys need?
- 5:56Speaker 3: Right, and that that means a lot, and it says
- 5:58Speaker 3: a lot for these the society and people that live
- 6:01Speaker 3: and work in the city.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh, And I just bought a house, so
- 6:06Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere. I will be at Milford until
- 6:09Speaker 1: I retire.
- 6:10Speaker 2: You go or I don't know. I love it up here.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a seasons guy, but yeah, I could you know,
- 6:16Speaker 1: I don't really want snow for three straight months. But yeah,
- 6:19Speaker 1: you know, I like I like this weather here.
- 6:21Speaker 2: That's great.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Yeahcious nice, it's But yeah, so the house, we got
- 6:27Speaker 1: the chickens, we're laying some eggs, eating fresh eggs. I
- 6:31Speaker 1: cleaned so I cleaned it out today for the first time.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And that was These fuckers ship a lot I know,
- 6:40Speaker 1: it's like Jesus Christ, guys. Feathers are every there's feathers everywhere.
- 6:46Speaker 1: It's like, you know, they you buy like that almost
- 6:49Speaker 1: like fine wood chips. That's what they got their better
- 6:52Speaker 1: just go like tractor supplies. You know, it's funny you
- 6:56Speaker 1: just google ship and now I'm an expert on chickens.
- 6:58Speaker 2: You know it's not easy. It is the chicken man. Yeah,
- 7:01Speaker 2: the chicken man.
- 7:02Speaker 1: So next year I'll maybe I'll raffle off a couple
- 7:05Speaker 1: of dozen eggs or somethingsh eggs. But you know what
- 7:10Speaker 1: makes you wonder though, like these are free range chickens.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I guess that's what they be classified as.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Uh so you don't refrigerate the eggs. You don't even
- 7:19Speaker 1: you don't even clean them.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Okay, if you clean them, you have to.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Put them in the fridge for whatever reason. I really,
- 7:24Speaker 1: And they last like three weeks. If if the shell
- 7:27Speaker 1: gets a little bit brittle, that's when it's time to
- 7:29Speaker 1: throw it out.
- 7:30Speaker 2: But it's we're actually out because we've been eating so
- 7:32Speaker 2: many of them. Yeah. No, chickens are cool.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they don't really like they haven't really
- 7:38Speaker 1: like cozied up to us yet like I go in there.
- 7:41Speaker 2: There are you know, running around running away.
- 7:44Speaker 1: But I gave them a nice clean out today, so
- 7:46Speaker 1: hopefully they'll be uh, they'll be nice.
- 7:49Speaker 2: So the rum Runners are playing, well, you're sold out.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, we have a few tickets left. There's folks
- 7:55Speaker 3: out there listening that can give us a call. But yeah,
- 7:57Speaker 3: we started uh two years ago getting the rum Runners
- 8:01Speaker 3: and they've been a great group of people and they've
- 8:04Speaker 3: been fabulous. So we got them for the next few years,
- 8:07Speaker 3: I hope. And yeah, that's our main entertainment. And we've
- 8:11Speaker 3: got Santa Claus that'll be will be there for the
- 8:14Speaker 3: whole night, and so that's our buddy Rick George and
- 8:16Speaker 3: he's again another one of those people that gives back
- 8:19Speaker 3: to the community.
- 8:21Speaker 2: And so yeah, we'll have about we'll be somewhere around.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Two hundred and seventy five people, you know, and we've
- 8:26Speaker 3: got a live level, live auction, some great raffle prizes
- 8:31Speaker 3: and then a silent auction of probably about.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Close to one hundred items.
- 8:36Speaker 3: And so yeah, there's there's a there's a great deal
- 8:39Speaker 3: of stuff that's going on and this year the auction
- 8:43Speaker 3: will be live within your your app for your phone.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Okay, so you can bid on stuff. You can bid

- 8:59Speaker 2: It's beyond my be on my page, keV. You got
- 9:01Speaker 2: to bring your it guy with you. But yeah, so
- 9:05Speaker 2: that that's a bit. It's a website not an app. Right,
- 9:08Speaker 2: that's a big change for this year.
- 9:09Speaker 4: So I think that'll be great.
- 9:11Speaker 2: You know, yeah, it goes live, sual, it goes live.
- 9:13Speaker 2: It's coming. I got snubbed again this year, and you
- 9:15Speaker 2: know I'll sold out. I have no idea. The busy guy.

- 9:28Speaker 1: I'll definitely look looking.
- 9:29Speaker 2: I'll checkah.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Now, like if you go on there, now is everything
- 9:32Speaker 1: that's going to be raffled off kind of on there?
- 9:34Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll be starting wins. So it's about a week
- 9:36Speaker 3: and a half before the event. So it's good stuff.
- 9:38Speaker 3: So again people can go on and look at.
- 9:40Speaker 2: That and what are some of the Oh, I know,
- 9:43Speaker 2: you got one hundred things.
- 9:44Speaker 3: I don't need to listen like every dame from a
- 9:47Speaker 3: great basket with you know, with great gift certificates for
- 9:51Speaker 3: bards and restaurants within Milford. We've got we've got trips
- 9:55Speaker 3: that'll be auctioned off. We've got jewelry that'll be auctioned off.
- 9:58Speaker 3: We've got I know, we just got some nick tickets
- 10:02Speaker 3: for the massive square garden.
- 10:04Speaker 2: You name it.
- 10:04Speaker 3: It's it's a full range of stuff that we've got.
- 10:07Speaker 3: So this is our it's our only fundraiser. We don't
- 10:10Speaker 3: do any other fundraising, so it's a it's our main event.
- 10:13Speaker 3: And if everything goes on schedule, that evening should be
- 10:17Speaker 3: somewhere around a fifty thousand dollars night for us.
- 10:20Speaker 4: So it's goods good.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Do the gas and electoral companies do they participate with you?
- 10:28Speaker 2: They don't.
- 10:28Speaker 1: You just pay, you pay what the rate is.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Yeah, we we we work with a couple of different
- 10:34Speaker 3: couple different oil companies and they've a couple of them
- 10:37Speaker 3: will give us, give us a little bit of a
- 10:39Speaker 3: break on the gallon price, but we're playing pretty close
- 10:42Speaker 3: to the market price, and you know, and the other
- 10:45Speaker 3: aspect is what's changed is when COVID hit, you could
- 10:50Speaker 3: not as a as a utility company, you could not
- 10:53Speaker 3: turn off someone's service. Well now that has changed because
- 10:57Speaker 3: COVID is over and they are doing that. So again
- 11:02Speaker 3: we expect to see another big increase as we go.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Through and the weather gets whether it gets colder, changes.
- 11:09Speaker 3: But no, there's not too much assistance for folks. That's unfortunate.
- 11:15Speaker 3: But you know, so again it's.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Spread your dollar out, you know, much better.
- 11:20Speaker 4: Exactly, And I think they got to make their dollars though.
- 11:22Speaker 3: What you're seeing is the utilities are trying to regroup
- 11:27Speaker 3: that money that they gave away and so we're all
- 11:30Speaker 3: paying for that unfortunately.
- 11:32Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, it's I.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Don't know how they allow these rate hikes, Like, I
- 11:37Speaker 1: just don't know how they're not regulated more like you
- 11:40Speaker 1: can't raise it by more than eight percent a year
- 11:42Speaker 1: or something.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Yeah, and the people that we were dealing with, it's
- 11:46Speaker 3: it's surprisingly that you know, they may come to us
- 11:49Speaker 3: after two three months and they just they can't do
- 11:53Speaker 3: it any longer. And these are not small electric, electric
- 11:56Speaker 3: or gas bills. They're they're right there.
- 11:58Speaker 1: So it's uh, have you run through the problem yet
- 12:01Speaker 1: in eleven years that you guys ran out of money.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I would say when we started the first couple of years,
- 12:07Speaker 2: it's hard to raise it right off the rip.
- 12:08Speaker 3: But well we've knock on wood, we've been able to
- 12:12Speaker 3: have a little bit of a cushion going into the
- 12:14Speaker 3: next year. And you know that's that's due to our
- 12:18Speaker 3: sponsors and and the folks that support the fundraiser. But
- 12:22Speaker 3: you know, we've been able to to ride along and
- 12:25Speaker 3: stay with it.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I can imagine that could be uh.
- 12:28Speaker 4: Yeah, that's up fast.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean fifty thousands great, but you know.
- 12:33Speaker 3: Oh, it goes fast, It goes fast, absolutely, yeah, you know,
- 12:36Speaker 3: especially with the price of oil when I went up.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Now now you know, when we started, as I said,
- 12:41Speaker 3: we just did we just did oil. But now we're
- 12:44Speaker 3: we're covering everything. We're even covering propane.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:47Speaker 1: You know, I have a I have a attached garage
- 12:51Speaker 1: in my new house, and I deal with suburban propane
- 12:56Speaker 1: I think name and there's the guy that owned it
- 12:59Speaker 1: before me had a huge tank out back. And then
- 13:02Speaker 1: when the building specter came over, he's like, oh, this
- 13:05Speaker 1: is nice. I go, what's this? He goes, yoh, your
- 13:07Speaker 1: whole garage is heated and the like. There's a thervice
- 13:09Speaker 1: data right, it's one of those big boxes, blows it
- 13:12Speaker 1: out and I'm like, oh, so he had it service.
- 13:14Speaker 2: This is what this is what kills me. They had it.
- 13:16Speaker 1: So he had it service in August, right, refilled certain
- 13:20Speaker 1: whatever they got to do. And I buy it and
- 13:23Speaker 1: they got to come over and check it sure, make
- 13:25Speaker 1: sure it works. And they didn't add any gas. And
- 13:28Speaker 1: it cost me one hundred and thirty dollars, you know.
- 13:30Speaker 2: But I'm like, I see it. He showed me the documents.
- 13:33Speaker 2: You guys just service this. Bob. Well, you're a new owner,
- 13:35Speaker 2: so I'm going to make sure you know what if
- 13:37Speaker 2: you smell gass, you run.
- 13:38Speaker 4: Well what we found out too is that and I
- 13:41Speaker 4: was shocked at this.
- 13:42Speaker 3: We we have, we have some people we've taken care
- 13:44Speaker 3: of that that heat with propane. These are folks that
- 13:48Speaker 3: you know that are living, in some cases living in
- 13:50Speaker 3: a tent, in some cases living like in a shed,
- 13:53Speaker 3: and so we can't we can't just give them propane.
- 13:58Speaker 3: We give them a gift certificate.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Again.
- 14:00Speaker 4: They they they go out and they buy it or
- 14:03Speaker 4: take care of it.
- 14:03Speaker 3: But just the thought of people in our city living
- 14:08Speaker 3: in those wide editions.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Why is there legalities behind.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we we can't if they yeah, yeah,
- 14:14Speaker 3: we we can't go down that road, nor will we
- 14:17Speaker 3: go down that road. But the aspect of people in
- 14:20Speaker 3: this community, and look at Milford's not alone. I mean
- 14:23Speaker 3: there's any communities and towns. But the need is is
- 14:26Speaker 3: that great? And to think, you know there's someone or
- 14:31Speaker 3: or families or whatever living in the city that are
- 14:34Speaker 3: living in the woods or living living in a tent
- 14:37Speaker 3: or living in a ship.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I personally, yeah, modeling, he's been It's like he's been
- 14:41Speaker 1: doing it forever. Yeah, and he has money, which is
- 14:46Speaker 1: the craziest thing.
- 14:48Speaker 4: And then we'll run some folks that you know, have
- 14:50Speaker 4: some mental health.
- 14:51Speaker 2: I felt you've ever been taken advantage of.
- 14:55Speaker 4: There's there's once in a while you might you might
- 14:58Speaker 4: get that.
- 14:58Speaker 3: But but I can say that, you know, I feel
- 15:00Speaker 3: comfortable telling you that.
- 15:02Speaker 4: No.
- 15:03Speaker 2: I mean there's always.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Because if you want to pay my gas bill, I
- 15:06Speaker 1: got to pay workers right now.
- 15:08Speaker 5: You know, we have a I would never do that, No,
- 15:10Speaker 5: but we have a we have a filtering process that
- 15:13Speaker 5: they that they go through and and the folks that
- 15:16Speaker 5: do that, it's a group called team and they do
- 15:19Speaker 5: a great job, you know.
- 15:20Speaker 3: So when it gets to us, it's it's truly in need.
- 15:23Speaker 3: And you know the good part about it is when
- 15:25Speaker 3: someone calls you up and says, hey, you made my day.
- 15:28Speaker 3: I'm looking out the window and the oil truck is
- 15:30Speaker 3: here and it's putting oil in the tank.
- 15:32Speaker 4: That means a lot.
- 15:32Speaker 3: There's a lot of folks that are running you know,
- 15:35Speaker 3: old furnaces and stuff like that that you know, we've
- 15:38Speaker 3: got involved with helping some people. We also work as
- 15:42Speaker 3: one of our sponsors, tri City, and they've done some
- 15:45Speaker 3: great stuff.
- 15:46Speaker 4: And helped out.
- 15:47Speaker 1: So again they have a new name, now, don't they
- 15:49Speaker 1: tri City Appliance.
- 15:52Speaker 2: No, No, they.
- 15:53Speaker 4: Left the Appliance and it's.
- 15:55Speaker 2: I saw the announcement.
- 15:56Speaker 4: Yeah, there's been a couple of weeks back.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Great company, good guys, whole family is awesome.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:01Speaker 3: So from that standpoint, you know, we h we work
- 16:05Speaker 3: with people like that. Yeah, but again, there's a lot
- 16:07Speaker 3: of folks that you know, they might be out there
- 16:09Speaker 3: with a twenty five thirty year old furnace that it's just.
- 16:12Speaker 4: On its last leg.
- 16:14Speaker 3: You know, and they'll call and say, you know, I
- 16:16Speaker 3: need help or whatever. So we know, we'll have an
- 16:19Speaker 3: oil delivery and we'll get a call back to say, hey,
- 16:22Speaker 3: we can't deliver this oil to Jeremy because.
- 16:25Speaker 2: The furnace is just it's yeah.
- 16:28Speaker 4: You know.
- 16:28Speaker 3: So yeah, there's there's all kinds of different aspects that
- 16:32Speaker 3: come up.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Do you do you vet the people at all? Or yeah,
- 16:35Speaker 2: yeah they do.
- 16:36Speaker 3: They do get vetted, so we have to, I mean otherwise,
- 16:39Speaker 3: you know, like you said, VP taken advantage.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good stuff. What a great cause.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Thank you?
- 16:45Speaker 1: How'd you think of it? I think I know you
- 16:48Speaker 1: said it was a bunch of guys. You're a Milford
- 16:50Speaker 1: yacht club, and yeah we should.
- 16:52Speaker 3: What happened was I had come up with the concept
- 16:54Speaker 3: because I had met I had met a family was
- 16:57Speaker 3: a family of five and they had three kids, and
- 17:02Speaker 3: they were living in house here in Milford, and we
- 17:07Speaker 3: were selling at that time, I was working with mil
- 17:10Speaker 3: for Quantas and we were selling holiday plants and this
- 17:14Speaker 3: neighbor had bought plants for these people, and I, you know,
- 17:17Speaker 3: was one of the guys delivering it. And the woman
- 17:20Speaker 3: just came to the door took the plants. She was very,
- 17:22Speaker 3: very happy and started to cry and she said to me,
- 17:25Speaker 3: you know, we don't have any heat. And I'm like, well,
- 17:27Speaker 3: there's got to be you know, between state and federal
- 17:30Speaker 3: farming or city or whatever. And she said, well, they
- 17:33Speaker 3: told us to get a hold of Salvation Army. And
- 17:36Speaker 3: I said, what would they say? And Salvation Army had said, yeah,
- 17:40Speaker 3: we can give you a couple bucks, but you know,
- 17:42Speaker 3: we only have like two thousand dollars for emergency fuel oil.
- 17:46Speaker 3: And I said, you know, this is crazy. And this
- 17:50Speaker 3: was like about two and a half weeks before Christmas.
- 17:53Speaker 3: So my wife and I wrote a check and said, hey,
- 17:56Speaker 3: look at.
- 17:56Speaker 4: Get some oil in the tank, right.
- 17:58Speaker 3: And then I went back to Milford Quantis, probably sometime
- 18:01Speaker 3: in February of March, and I said hey, I was
- 18:03Speaker 3: president of the Quantas clup at the time, and I said,
- 18:06Speaker 3: I really would like to start a foundation and would
- 18:09Speaker 3: you guys be interested in putting the seed money up.
- 18:12Speaker 4: You know, we need a couple of thousand dollars. And
- 18:14Speaker 4: that's how it got started and.
- 18:15Speaker 3: We created a five o'h one ce foundation and off
- 18:19Speaker 3: to the races.
- 18:20Speaker 1: So I remember growing up my mom was single. She
- 18:25Speaker 1: had me and my brother and.
- 18:27Speaker 2: We used to have the Kerosene eaters.
- 18:29Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that was big.
- 18:30Speaker 2: I don't think they're legal anymore, no.
- 18:33Speaker 4: One.
- 18:34Speaker 2: It was for two three years. Oh yeah, she was strong.
- 18:38Speaker 3: I mean you know that company was Kerosoned and it
- 18:40Speaker 3: was up in Kent, Connecticut, and that's how they got started,
- 18:44Speaker 3: and it just it took off for a number of years.
- 18:46Speaker 4: Everybody had them, you know.
- 18:48Speaker 2: So I just thought what I thought of that? Yeah, like,
- 18:51Speaker 2: oh yeah, I remember like for years. Yeah, in my childhood,
- 18:54Speaker 2: I remember turned the karosene eater on.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I think they're like.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Dangerous though or something about it were.
- 19:00Speaker 1: But see when we were younger, like, come on, this
- 19:02Speaker 1: whole society now it's just.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Afraid of everything. It's us so stupid too. They're frying
- 19:08Speaker 2: turkeys in their kitchen. Do you see a house that
- 19:10Speaker 2: I just saw that holy ship. So there was a
- 19:12Speaker 2: house of Western Western. They did it in their garage,
- 19:17Speaker 2: in the garage. They did it in the garage, and
- 19:19Speaker 2: obviously it must have blown up.
- 19:21Speaker 1: If it's a frozen I would never fry turkey, but
- 19:24Speaker 1: you can't cook it frozen.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Yes, right, did you put it into the into the oil.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's just.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Caught fire in the garage and the fire the chief
- 19:33Speaker 1: of Weston said it took like sixteen hours.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Ye saw that.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a crazy Yeah, the whole place went up,
- 19:39Speaker 1: and I mean it's sad, but like it's just so
- 19:42Speaker 1: fucking preventable, like, don't do that ship inside. No, it's shocking, Yeah,
- 19:48Speaker 1: it really is. It might as well put it in
- 19:50Speaker 1: the kitchen and yeah.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Right Jesus Christ.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Then there was a video of RFK Junior doing uh yeah,
- 19:56Speaker 1: I saw that the turkey. He was flying one on
- 19:59Speaker 1: his back deck and with no sneakery, like bare feet,
- 20:03Speaker 1: but he's doing it like some kind of oil that's
- 20:06Speaker 1: like healthy. I forget what it was called. Reading the
- 20:09Speaker 1: article the other day and he was I don't know. Ever,
- 20:11Speaker 1: since he's been named the health whatever guy, he's been
- 20:16Speaker 1: seeing it.
- 20:17Speaker 2: McDonald's on the plane.
- 20:19Speaker 4: They're covered him now.
- 20:22Speaker 2: They got to them exactly exactly.
- 20:24Speaker 1: I mean, like seriously though, like a lot of these
- 20:27Speaker 1: fast food joints are just they don't even have healthy
- 20:31Speaker 1: options on them anyway. You know, you get a beyond Burger,
- 20:34Speaker 1: but like that's you don't even know what they fry
- 20:36Speaker 1: it and get the French.
- 20:38Speaker 3: This all this recall, Yeah, everything from meat to vegetables
- 20:43Speaker 3: to you name it.
- 20:44Speaker 4: So it's scary.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Cucumbers is the one that's the latest. Yeah, what are
- 20:50Speaker 2: they doing?
- 20:53Speaker 1: I mean we never really talked politics, but do you
- 20:56Speaker 1: think RFK could actually make an impact or is this
- 20:59Speaker 1: just kind of you know, it's going to be scare
- 21:03Speaker 1: at tactic to get some of these corporations too.
- 21:06Speaker 2: And I think it's.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Probably it's probably a combination of all the above.
- 21:11Speaker 3: And I think that you know, this is gonna be
- 21:14Speaker 3: this is gonna be an interesting ride for four years,
- 21:17Speaker 3: you know. And I think that you know, again, some
- 21:20Speaker 3: people are signed on and ready to go, other people
- 21:22Speaker 3: are not, and I get that. But again I think,
- 21:27Speaker 3: you know, time will tell what what virtually happens.
- 21:30Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, the background somebody like.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Him has been very very interesting in regards to going
- 21:36Speaker 3: back to COVID and you know, vaccination shots and things
- 21:39Speaker 3: like that. And you know, as big as that the
- 21:41Speaker 3: family is, when when they don't support you, you know,
- 21:45Speaker 3: it gets it gets a little weird. So I you know,
- 21:48Speaker 3: I think everybody's gonna be looking at with eyes open
- 21:51Speaker 3: wide and see where this goes.
- 21:54Speaker 1: So, I mean, we somehow amazingly survived his first four
- 21:57Speaker 1: years as a president.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Of how we made it throw.
- 22:00Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just it's just I don't know.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I get I get so like fired up with just
- 22:05Speaker 1: I literally, like I say, sometime, I love I love Twitter.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I liked it before Busk bought it because it's something
- 22:10Speaker 1: where I can just kind of research my own ship,
- 22:15Speaker 1: you know, follow certain people. But now I like all
- 22:19Speaker 1: the people that I despise. I like reading what they
- 22:21Speaker 1: have to say. I just love it. It just makes
- 22:24Speaker 1: me laugh, Like people are really this like angry over shit.
- 22:27Speaker 1: It's like here, you are a great guy trying to
- 22:30Speaker 1: make sure families in your hometown are kept warm, and
- 22:35Speaker 1: then you get all these women that are on sex
- 22:38Speaker 1: strikes because Trump's president, Like, prioritize some ship in your life, please,
- 22:45Speaker 1: Like this is just it's beyond it's it's.
- 22:47Speaker 4: And it's looking it's it's it's reality at this point.
- 22:50Speaker 1: So I just want right and like he's only going
- 22:55Speaker 1: to be there for four years, Like he can't run
- 22:57Speaker 1: again if he survives the fucking four years, right, Like,
- 23:00Speaker 1: so just get over it.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I wish we had better options. Sure, than the three
- 23:06Speaker 2: people they rolled down.
- 23:07Speaker 3: It's weird because ideal I deal with the you know,
- 23:10Speaker 3: import uh in different parts of the world, in different countries.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Oh so you're a good you know, so you're knowledgeable
- 23:15Speaker 1: on tariffs? Yeah, I mean, so what's what's your take?
- 23:19Speaker 1: That's going crazy? The right's like, it's okay where where where.
- 23:22Speaker 3: We're Well, I think that how this started is the
- 23:25Speaker 3: main thing started with with the with.
- 23:28Speaker 4: The drugs and see if they can curtail that.
- 23:31Speaker 3: I think when you start putting tariffs on on everything,
- 23:36Speaker 3: that's gonna get a little that's gonna get that's gonna
- 23:38Speaker 3: get difficult, and it's gonna affect you know, the ultimate
- 23:42Speaker 3: lea is when you import something into this country. The
- 23:45Speaker 3: ultimate consumer is the one that's gonna pay for this.
- 23:48Speaker 3: It's not gonna be that.
- 23:49Speaker 4: Import and that importer is paying that bill, the the
- 23:53Speaker 4: tax tariff what everyone to call it. Uh, they're gonna
- 23:56Speaker 4: they're gonna pass it on.
- 23:57Speaker 3: I mean, you can't afford to, you know. So it's
- 23:59Speaker 3: a question, you know, how far does it go?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Is it? Is it a scare tactic at this point?
- 24:04Speaker 3: I mean, you know, in the last I think the
- 24:05Speaker 3: last twenty four to forty eight hours. Prime Minister of
- 24:08Speaker 3: Canada is now in Florida meeting meeting with the president elect.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Same thing with Mexico. The Chinese are it's a it's
- 24:17Speaker 3: a different ballgame, you know. They're they're incredibly smart people
- 24:21Speaker 3: and they they they will, they will do what they
- 24:24Speaker 3: have to do. But beyond that, it gets interesting. And
- 24:28Speaker 3: I think that, you know, I have some I have
- 24:32Speaker 3: some dear friends that business wise that I've worked with
- 24:35Speaker 3: over the years in mainland China. And the interesting thing
- 24:38Speaker 3: is what they were saying to me in the last
- 24:39Speaker 3: two years, it's like, as big as your country, these
- 24:42Speaker 3: these are the best two three people you can come
- 24:44Speaker 3: up with to run this country. And that's that says
- 24:47Speaker 3: a lot, you know. And I think that so many
- 24:50Speaker 3: people are scared to go into the microscope, you know,
- 24:53Speaker 3: in politics, and I get it, I get it, but
- 24:57Speaker 3: you know, to say these are the best we have
- 24:59Speaker 3: in this country.
- 25:01Speaker 2: I have our time with that.
- 25:02Speaker 3: I don't think that there's some great people out there
- 25:04Speaker 3: that just don't want to be bothered.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Now my kind of take on the tariffs, you're obviously
- 25:08Speaker 1: you deal with it, uh is it a what I
- 25:12Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna like follow through with two markups
- 25:15Speaker 1: and shit like that because that will ultimately fall on
- 25:17Speaker 1: the consumer. But is it maybe a ploy to get
- 25:22Speaker 1: people to buy American?
- 25:24Speaker 2: Oh?
- 25:24Speaker 4: Sure, buy domestic, sure production?
- 25:27Speaker 2: Right, So, like let's just say I'm buying a.
- 25:30Speaker 1: TV and I'm I don't even know if what's an American
- 25:34Speaker 1: made TV visio? I don't even know whatever? Am I
- 25:36Speaker 1: gonna buy American at eight hundred dollars? Or now it's China.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Japan is shipping shit in and they got the two
- 25:44Speaker 1: hundred percent tariff and all right, well that's going to
- 25:46Speaker 1: be twenty four hundred. Well you know, yeah, you know,
- 25:49Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's what they're trying to accomplish.
- 25:51Speaker 2: I just don't think like I think it. I think
- 25:53Speaker 2: it's just a threat.
- 25:54Speaker 4: Well I think something like you know, like the big
- 25:56Speaker 4: thing is appliance, is electronics, especially electronics.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a huge commodity, and that is
- 26:03Speaker 3: a product that we import the whole thing.
- 26:05Speaker 4: We don't just bring parts and assemble it and make
- 26:08Speaker 4: it here.
- 26:10Speaker 3: So you know, from that standpoint, everybody has to retool
- 26:14Speaker 3: and say, well we're going to make TVs here.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Now, well that's not going to happen overnight.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Right, you know, so I think that I believe part
- 26:21Speaker 3: of it is is is a strategic game. You don't
- 26:24Speaker 3: to see if we can get these folks to step
- 26:26Speaker 3: in line. But you start, you start going with a
- 26:29Speaker 3: twenty twenty five percent tariff on whatever it may be,
- 26:33Speaker 3: it's going to have effect effect. I mean, the latest,
- 26:37Speaker 3: the latest to talk about is is is heavy on
- 26:41Speaker 3: on Canada and heavy on Mexico and then somewhere around
- 26:44Speaker 3: ten twelve percent with mainland China and even.
- 26:47Speaker 4: That will you know, we'll we'll add a lot to stuff.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's it's I mean, there's so many, so
- 26:55Speaker 1: many things come January twentieth that I just it's just
- 26:57Speaker 1: going to be wacky.
- 26:58Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's gonna be it's gonna be an interesting.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Political ride for everybody. Yeah, you know, it's it's not.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I just want the left to just chill a little
- 27:09Speaker 2: bit because here's their biggest.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Problem is they are not learning from their own mistakes
- 27:14Speaker 1: and they're not changing their like narrative of how they
- 27:22Speaker 1: depict someone that voted for Trump. Now, I voted for Trump, right,
- 27:27Speaker 1: I voted for Trump. I like Trump. Whatever he's he's
- 27:31Speaker 1: I like him in the sense where he shakes it up,
- 27:33Speaker 1: like he just it's not the establishment, it's it's just
- 27:36Speaker 1: that he's an outsider, which I think is what probably
- 27:41Speaker 1: countries need every forty to fifty years. Like, you know,
- 27:44Speaker 1: these people are lifelong politicians, right, you know, they're multi millionaires.
- 27:48Speaker 2: How wow.
- 27:52Speaker 1: But I think I think so the left just they
- 27:55Speaker 1: just keep talking, not like doubling down on him, like
- 27:57Speaker 1: you know, I'm a Nazi and a racist and all
- 27:59Speaker 1: this ship and it's just like you're not getting it.
- 28:03Speaker 1: You're not You're not going to change the vote.
- 28:06Speaker 2: No, you're not. By saying that ship for four years.
- 28:08Speaker 4: You're just gonna make it worse.
- 28:09Speaker 2: It's just gonna make it worse. So just like, let's
- 28:11Speaker 2: just kind of bridge the gap.
- 28:14Speaker 3: And I don't think the best thing that can happen
- 28:16Speaker 3: for both parties and for the country is that they
- 28:18Speaker 3: do come together and say, Okay, you know, I mean,
- 28:21Speaker 3: I mean, I agree everything, what you're gonna do vice
- 28:23Speaker 3: versa with with me.
- 28:24Speaker 4: Also, but where's the where's the happy media? And it's there.
- 28:28Speaker 4: It's just that you've got to want to get you
- 28:29Speaker 4: want to you gotta want to get there.
- 28:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I'm optimistic that there is enough people
- 28:36Speaker 3: in the process that will make that happen.
- 28:38Speaker 2: You never know.
- 28:39Speaker 3: I mean, it could just be you know, I'm going
- 28:41Speaker 3: to go off the radar for four years and that's
- 28:43Speaker 3: not the answer either, you know.
- 28:45Speaker 2: So, yeah, Left started talking about putting AOC up in
- 28:47Speaker 2: four years. Yeah the fuck are you thinking? I mean,
- 28:51Speaker 2: that's just guaranteed loss, right, guaranteed loss? Come on, damn,
- 28:54Speaker 2: come up with somebody.
- 28:55Speaker 3: No, And I think what will happen the Democratic Party
- 28:57Speaker 3: is I think that you know that individual man or
- 28:59Speaker 3: woman may be there today, they may not be there, but.
- 29:03Speaker 4: They've got to reinvent. They've got to reinvent themselves.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Okay, they'll do it.
- 29:07Speaker 4: It's not something that you know they won't do.
- 29:09Speaker 3: I think it's just a question of the right people
- 29:12Speaker 3: get in the room and say, okay, what are we
- 29:13Speaker 3: doing here.
- 29:14Speaker 1: I think they're in a very precarious position here because
- 29:18Speaker 1: you know, in four years, who knows who the Republican
- 29:21Speaker 1: could be Jade.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Vance, it could be who knows. Yeah, but if.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Trump succeeds a little like whatever, it might be the
- 29:31Speaker 1: the wall or you know, money, you're back before one case, going.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Crazy, all that ship right, that's it's gonna be hard
- 29:39Speaker 2: to overcome that.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Sure in four years, Sure if they run the same
- 29:43Speaker 1: kind of campaign they did this time.
- 29:45Speaker 3: And well, I think probably what's going to happen is
- 29:47Speaker 3: that they're going to try to They're going to try
- 29:49Speaker 3: to come back and get him in two years, not.
- 29:52Speaker 4: Him personally, but get the House control and get the
- 29:55Speaker 4: House and the Senate.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Right, and you know, then again, no nobody, nobody.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Gains it then, right, it's a loser, like how does
- 30:02Speaker 1: Rosa de Laulo keep winning?
- 30:04Speaker 3: Good question, you know, I think that you know, again,
- 30:08Speaker 3: it's one of those. It's it's this congressional district that
- 30:12Speaker 3: we're in is a very strong Democratic congressional district, and
- 30:17Speaker 3: from the Republican aspect, I don't believe there's been a
- 30:21Speaker 3: really good opposition. And I think the average voter looks
- 30:24Speaker 3: at that and says, hey, I'm happy the way things
- 30:27Speaker 3: are now, you know, And I don't think there's any other.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Way to look at it.
- 30:32Speaker 3: I think you look at it across the country and
- 30:34Speaker 3: there's there's some very strong congressional districts and there, and
- 30:39Speaker 3: they're simply because you know, you get to it, you
- 30:42Speaker 3: serve so many years and then you get to the
- 30:44Speaker 3: opposition and say, well, why would why would I want
- 30:46Speaker 3: to take her on? You know, it's it's a loser unfortunately.
- 30:51Speaker 3: You know, that's that's the world we're living in.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Like Trump almost won Milford. Yeah, I was only about.
- 30:57Speaker 4: Yeah that that says a lot.
- 31:00Speaker 2: I think it does.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Massachusetts was Massachusetts had the biggest gains. He's needn't win,
- 31:05Speaker 1: but they had the biggest.
- 31:07Speaker 4: That's huge uge.
- 31:08Speaker 2: And it's funny.
- 31:08Speaker 1: I hear this a lot, like what's up with New England?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Like why is New England always blue? And my theory
- 31:16Speaker 1: just the fucking theory. But all the all the people,
- 31:22Speaker 1: all the people that lived in New England that now
- 31:24Speaker 1: live south were the registered Republicans.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Their kids are up here.
- 31:29Speaker 1: They go to the colleges, they get doctor NATed to
- 31:31Speaker 1: becoming a liberal arts major or something.
- 31:34Speaker 2: It happens to my own niece. She went to the
- 31:36Speaker 2: University of New Hampshire. I love her to.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Death, but she's not the same person. She crossed the
- 31:41Speaker 1: overs to the to the dark siding. But I don't know,
- 31:45Speaker 1: like I don't I don't like there's I mean, there's
- 31:48Speaker 1: wealth in New England, there's you know, like which is
- 31:50Speaker 1: you know, more of a like you'd like to be conservative,
- 31:53Speaker 1: fiscally conservative, you know, if you want to be liberally moral,
- 31:56Speaker 1: that's that's you know, that's kind of how I feel
- 32:00Speaker 1: anyone in life should be. But I just I just
- 32:03Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I mean, maybe this was the
- 32:05Speaker 1: turning point. Maybe I mean, we're ever going to have
- 32:08Speaker 1: a Republican governor again, Like I don't know, Like, well,
- 32:11Speaker 1: you look at you know that we have in the past, right.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Right, And I think it's just whoever that individual is
- 32:17Speaker 3: and what the message is.
- 32:18Speaker 4: I mean, I think the message on either side over
- 32:22Speaker 4: the years. You know, when it's good, I think people
- 32:25Speaker 4: reward those people, and if it's not or it's mediocre,
- 32:28Speaker 4: well let's stay where we are, you know. But it's uh.
- 32:31Speaker 3: This is look at this is a this is a
- 32:34Speaker 3: democratic this is a democratic district, is a democratic state.
- 32:39Speaker 3: And I don't see I don't see that changing. I
- 32:42Speaker 3: mean you look at Johanna Hayes. I mean that look
- 32:45Speaker 3: how close you know that boat was two years ago
- 32:48Speaker 3: and you know this one, you know she won by
- 32:50Speaker 3: a pretty decisive amount, so it showed you, you.
- 32:54Speaker 4: Know, the swing and the pendulum politically.
- 32:58Speaker 1: So, I mean, it's and it's another thing. It's just
- 33:01Speaker 1: it's the cities. It's the cities that win it.
- 33:03Speaker 6: For them, like they're gonna lose the suburbs of Britain
- 33:07Speaker 6: like that, right you take you know, Hartford, waterbury Bridge, Morton, Danbury,
- 33:11Speaker 6: you know Stamford in London right across.
- 33:14Speaker 4: It's huge numbers.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Yeah, you get, there's.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Not enough to offset that to say let's let's get
- 33:20Speaker 3: let's make this close.
- 33:23Speaker 2: And why why is it?
- 33:25Speaker 3: Well, the cities are still there's still the big dominant
- 33:28Speaker 3: Democratic fourhouses, you know.
- 33:31Speaker 1: But you see some of these cities and it's just like,
- 33:33Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to vote for a little just change
- 33:35Speaker 1: it once and see what happens.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Because I don't even go to new Haven anymore.
- 33:39Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, I don't.
- 33:41Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just I'm like, no, it's true.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Is it free ship they're getting?
- 33:45Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, and it's it's it's just
- 33:48Speaker 1: I just I don't know.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I want to see it changed sometimes exactly. I mean
- 33:55Speaker 2: I saw the meme where it's like the red of
- 33:57Speaker 2: the nation and it was like Trump like we're for
- 34:00Speaker 2: Verizon now, he's got the fucking country covered. But but
- 34:04Speaker 2: Milford surprised me. I was.
- 34:05Speaker 1: I was shocked that it was that close in Milford.
- 34:11Speaker 1: That's that's pretty close. But all right, nice a little
- 34:14Speaker 1: political talk there, keV.
- 34:16Speaker 2: I like that.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Uh, now we're gonna get so I do douche of
- 34:20Speaker 1: the week, so I used to do when I first
- 34:21Speaker 1: started the podcast.
- 34:24Speaker 2: I kind of stopped it for a while.
- 34:26Speaker 1: I don't think I've done one with you, but just
- 34:28Speaker 1: for some random person I read on the internet and
- 34:30Speaker 1: he's just a douche. So this is my douche of
- 34:32Speaker 1: the week. This week is this guy on Twitter. Now
- 34:36Speaker 1: this could change, he could be my hero of the week.
- 34:40Speaker 1: But this is what he said on Twitter. His name
- 34:42Speaker 1: is Mick at Beyond average, Mick whatever on X and
- 34:48Speaker 1: he wrote two days ago that it's a done deal.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Jan Soto is going to the Boston Red.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Sox and he has doubled down on it.
- 34:54Speaker 1: He's tripled down on it to the point where Jeff Passing,
- 34:57Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball guy, is like, Yo, there's nothing
- 35:00Speaker 1: going on, go eat your turkey. And this guy, I
- 35:03Speaker 1: guess he got two things right recently. One was the
- 35:08Speaker 1: Bruins head coach getting fired. He had like a couple
- 35:10Speaker 1: of days before any of the national media had it.
- 35:13Speaker 2: And there was another one. I can't remember what it was.
- 35:18Speaker 2: I don't remember, but.
- 35:19Speaker 1: He's like two for two and now he's got he
- 35:22Speaker 1: says he's got all these connections, and now the whole
- 35:26Speaker 1: all the Twitter verse is blown up because anyone that's
- 35:28Speaker 1: a Mets fan is here and everyone's saying, oh, he's
- 35:30Speaker 1: coming to the Mets anyway, Yankee fan, he's staying here
- 35:33Speaker 1: if you're a Red Sox fan.
- 35:34Speaker 2: But this is what's goeting. See.
- 35:37Speaker 1: I didn't even really know if I want one, so
- 35:38Speaker 1: because I don't know if I want to spend that
- 35:40Speaker 1: kind of money. And then like we really need pitching.
- 35:43Speaker 1: But he's young, he's the hell of a talent. And
- 35:48Speaker 1: there's some of the numbers they're throwing around or right
- 35:49Speaker 1: up there with you know, Shoho Tani's numbers, and I
- 35:54Speaker 1: hate my ownership, and I know it's just there's gonna
- 35:56Speaker 1: be like, really, you're pricing fans out of even seeing
- 35:59Speaker 1: these freaking games.
- 36:01Speaker 2: But he's a Red Sox fan.
- 36:04Speaker 1: So Wan Soto when he was young, followed the Red
- 36:07Speaker 1: Sox because of Big Poppy Pedro Martinez, all these Dominicans,
- 36:13Speaker 1: and he said one day he always wants to play
- 36:16Speaker 1: for the Red Sox And now they're stupid. This is
- 36:18Speaker 1: how stupid this shit gets. Like today there's like somebody
- 36:21Speaker 1: reported that Juan Soto's sisters in Boston looking at apartments
- 36:24Speaker 1: like he.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Was just like just like you know, spotted at Logan Airport,
- 36:27Speaker 2: you know, like just this crap and I hate it.
- 36:31Speaker 1: But if we don't get him, this guy is gonna
- 36:33Speaker 1: get killed. He will be my douche of the week.
- 36:36Speaker 1: But if he gets it, like if he get it right,
- 36:38Speaker 1: then they say yeah, now would be three for three.
- 36:41Speaker 1: And like he's battling the big the big boys. He's
- 36:44Speaker 1: he's like they're there.
- 36:45Speaker 2: He's he's saying this stuff.
- 36:48Speaker 1: No, he has like five thousand followers too, like Jeff
- 36:50Speaker 1: Passon probably has, you know, five hundred thousand, and he's
- 36:55Speaker 1: got the attention of these national guys to actually like
- 36:59Speaker 1: go on line make a statement on Thanksgiving that you know,
- 37:02Speaker 1: go eat your turkey.
- 37:03Speaker 2: I'm the one that drops these fucking bombs.
- 37:06Speaker 1: And but you would think if he had signed, if
- 37:10Speaker 1: he committed like Wednesday, it would have been announced by
- 37:14Speaker 1: now or one of the big guys would have gotten
- 37:17Speaker 1: the story like an Adam Schefter in the NFL, like
- 37:19Speaker 1: he gets every fucking story but nothing yet. Well, and
- 37:24Speaker 1: I didn't even want them, But now I'm like, okay,
- 37:26Speaker 1: I'll take him what I don't want.
- 37:28Speaker 2: Are you a Yankees fan? Yes, okay, I would.
- 37:30Speaker 1: My whole philosophy was, Juan Soto is any anywhere but
- 37:34Speaker 1: New York.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Go to the Mets, I don't care. Go to the Dodgers. Yeah,
- 37:39Speaker 2: just don't go back to the I would think.
- 37:41Speaker 3: And the longer it goes, the chances are that maybe
- 37:45Speaker 3: he is going to Boston. Yeah, I mean that that
- 37:50Speaker 3: that starts to get interesting. So I mean if it
- 37:53Speaker 3: was this short window in which I think it started
- 37:56Speaker 3: as a window.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, maybe where baseball getting this money? Well,
- 38:02Speaker 2: I gave up trying to figure that out a long time.
- 38:05Speaker 2: I don't understand it the like you just it's not
- 38:10Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 38:11Speaker 1: The NFL prints money, right, and they have a salary cap.
- 38:14Speaker 1: So yeah, the quarterbacks are making fifty million a year,
- 38:16Speaker 1: but like, that's the most important position in all of sports.
- 38:20Speaker 1: So your average running backs making this that hockey is nothing.
- 38:25Speaker 1: NBA guys are making stupid money. But there's only twelve
- 38:28Speaker 1: guys on a team, right baseball, there's you know, twenty
- 38:31Speaker 1: five guys, and you're dishing out. We'll show you got
- 38:34Speaker 1: seventy million a year. And I know they're deferring the
- 38:37Speaker 1: money most of it, but like still you could you
- 38:39Speaker 1: it's could have come time to pay the piper.
- 38:41Speaker 2: So it's been paid.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Off for them though they won the World Series, But
- 38:44Speaker 1: like the ratings aren't that, Like there's no where's the TV.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Money coming from?
- 38:48Speaker 1: Like what's Nessen paying to broadcast the Red Sox or yes,
- 38:52Speaker 1: the Yankees. Like that's why I don't think the Yankees
- 38:55Speaker 1: spend like they used to, Like they just they're they're
- 38:58Speaker 1: way more physically responsible now they.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Have to be, because yeah, you just started looking at
- 39:02Speaker 3: the payroll, right went out overhead expense it's mind body, Yeah,
- 39:08Speaker 3: you know, and you're already.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Paying judge, can you afford Soto too? Aunt, Garrett Cole.
- 39:13Speaker 1: I mean they got three guys that are going to
- 39:15Speaker 1: account for one hundred and fifty million dollars on your
- 39:17Speaker 1: pay roll a year.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's back to you what you said
- 39:20Speaker 3: before about you know, going to a baseball game, take
- 39:23Speaker 3: your girlfriend, your wife, or one or two kids.
- 39:26Speaker 4: You got to you gotta, you know, get a second mortgage.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's crazy.
- 39:30Speaker 1: So, uh, my friend has a son. That's my girlfriend's
- 39:34Speaker 1: son's age. You're both fourteen. And last year we went
- 39:38Speaker 1: to a Celtics game.
- 39:41Speaker 2: I think it was in March. It was like Christmas presents.
- 39:43Speaker 1: So we went up to Boston, stayed the night. Uh
- 39:48Speaker 1: you know, the tickets were I think a thousand dollars.
- 39:50Speaker 2: For the car.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we obviously we put the kids to bed,
- 39:55Speaker 1: we went out drinking, and now the three hundred dollars
- 39:57Speaker 1: apiece in Boston whatever came home the next day.
- 40:01Speaker 2: So now that I work at the course, I get
- 40:03Speaker 2: that week off for Christmas. So I said to my.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Friend, I said, hey, Ange, I said, why don't we
- 40:09Speaker 1: take the kids back up to Boston. There was like
- 40:11Speaker 1: a game they're playing the Pacers, like right after Christmas
- 40:13Speaker 1: on the weekend there. So that Sunday, so I looked
- 40:15Speaker 1: at tickets and like, you know, those bleeds are one
- 40:18Speaker 1: hundred and ninety before they fucking feed the fuck.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Out of you.
- 40:22Speaker 1: And you know, in the hotel room I looked, was
- 40:23Speaker 1: the cheapest, you know, We're not staying at the you know,
- 40:26Speaker 1: the Motel six. We want at least stay at Marriott
- 40:29Speaker 1: or something. And that's another three fifty four. So I'm like,
- 40:32Speaker 1: what the hell.
- 40:33Speaker 2: He's like, well, I know it's too much.
- 40:35Speaker 1: So I said, well, you know what he said, he's
- 40:37Speaker 1: got tickets to go to Florida. So I said, so,
- 40:40Speaker 1: long story short, we're going to take the kids to Florida.
- 40:44Speaker 1: My mom's got a house in kit Coral, which is right.
- 40:47Speaker 1: It's about twenty minutes to Fort Myers where Jet Blue
- 40:49Speaker 1: Stadium is.
- 40:49Speaker 2: With the Red Sox play spring training.
- 40:51Speaker 1: We can get tickets to three spring training games, fly
- 40:54Speaker 1: down there, stay at my mom's, rent a car, and
- 40:58Speaker 1: stay four days.
- 40:59Speaker 2: And it's still cheaper upon the ball game.
- 41:02Speaker 4: You know, there's something, it's like something wrong.
- 41:05Speaker 2: But people are paying. These games are sold out. When
- 41:07Speaker 2: is the well going to run dry?
- 41:09Speaker 1: It reminds me of like COVID when you're talking about it,
- 41:11Speaker 1: like people from New York, just like people just.
- 41:14Speaker 2: Paying cash for houses just there. When is that well
- 41:17Speaker 2: going to drive out? What is the market? I mean,
- 41:19Speaker 2: I've got my house, I'm going to be there.
- 41:20Speaker 3: For that balloon would have popped last year or so
- 41:24Speaker 3: it's still still going strong.
- 41:26Speaker 2: Stock markets strong. Yeah, it's amazing. I had to overpay.
- 41:31Speaker 1: Luckily, my uh uh, they came in at the at
- 41:35Speaker 1: the right price.
- 41:36Speaker 2: It appraised that what I offered, so I was like
- 41:39Speaker 2: very few. But it's like we looked at a couple
- 41:42Speaker 2: of houses before and you know, put some offers in.
- 41:45Speaker 2: I don't think we were one of them. I think
- 41:46Speaker 2: we were close. But it's like, this is stressful.
- 41:51Speaker 4: There's a bidding warrant something properties, you know, and it's it's.
- 41:54Speaker 2: By the house we moved into. It's like needed nothing.
- 41:56Speaker 2: I said, let's just overbid a little election.
- 41:58Speaker 1: You know, we don't need you know, twenty grand to
- 41:59Speaker 1: put it roof on right, you know, like it's ready
- 42:02Speaker 1: to go.
- 42:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:03Speaker 1: So, but you know, it's a it's a wacky industry.
- 42:07Speaker 1: It's always it's always been wacky. But you know, to
- 42:10Speaker 1: get those interest rates.
- 42:11Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting because what's going to happen is that,
- 42:14Speaker 3: you know, if this balloon does pop, you know you've
- 42:17Speaker 3: got you know in cities and towns and boffers want
- 42:20Speaker 3: and you've got reevaluation coming, you know, so it's like,
- 42:24Speaker 3: you know, what is that what is that house?
- 42:25Speaker 2: Going to be worth it, right?
- 42:27Speaker 4: Is it less?
- 42:27Speaker 2: Is it more?
- 42:28Speaker 4: Is it even? It's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting.
- 42:31Speaker 2: We got a sorry, I'm looking over your head here.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Michigan just beat Ohio State thirteen to ten, and they're
- 42:37Speaker 1: fighting on the field after the game.
- 42:41Speaker 2: They just changed it. I'm a tennis I'm watching the
- 42:43Speaker 2: Tennessee game.
- 42:44Speaker 1: I don't mean to be rude, but this is a
- 42:46Speaker 1: big weekend of college football's huge, yeah, and they're winning,
- 42:49Speaker 1: so they're gonna be what.
- 42:50Speaker 3: I didn't see it today with Georgia TECHNI, Georgia did
- 42:52Speaker 3: you see that game?
- 42:53Speaker 2: I watched it and then I fall asleep.
- 42:55Speaker 4: They went into overtime, and that's when I thought.
- 42:57Speaker 2: I did the same thing.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I I think Georgia Tech went up fourteen with like
- 43:01Speaker 1: four minutes left, and I turned the TV off. I
- 43:04Speaker 1: went to bed, and I woke up to the like
- 43:05Speaker 1: text for my friends, like eight overtimes.
- 43:07Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck did I just dismissed. That's
- 43:10Speaker 2: fucking crazy and that's gonna keep them in the playoffs.
- 43:12Speaker 2: They lost that game, they're out. So Tennessee's winning here
- 43:15Speaker 2: they're in Ohio State.
- 43:18Speaker 1: I think that's their second loss, and they should probably
- 43:21Speaker 1: still make it because I think they were fourth in
- 43:22Speaker 1: the country.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Now they have twelve teams, so you know, but there's
- 43:26Speaker 2: been some good games.
- 43:28Speaker 1: I mean, we might as well watch college football cam
- 43:30Speaker 1: because our fucking pro football teams in this area.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Fucking got off.
- 43:36Speaker 1: I still say I'd rather be a Patriots fan than
- 43:38Speaker 1: a Jets and Giants fan at this current point, because
- 43:40Speaker 1: at least we have a young quarterback that looks like
- 43:42Speaker 1: he can play in this league.
- 43:43Speaker 2: And the Jets what are they? What are the Giants
- 43:45Speaker 2: fan or Jets? Yeah?
- 43:46Speaker 7: More more Giants, more Giants, yeah, and well, who knows
- 43:50Speaker 7: what they're going to do a quarterback.
- 43:51Speaker 1: I mean, Daniel Jones already on another team. Tommy Cutlet's
- 43:55Speaker 1: ain't ain't the answer. Drew Locke certainly isn't the answer.
- 43:59Speaker 1: But it's not really a good year.
- 44:02Speaker 7: For quarterbacks coming out either, like last year was like
- 44:05Speaker 7: was could be a legendary draft, like an eighty three
- 44:08Speaker 7: draft with like they had Marino in Lway, but Shador.
- 44:12Speaker 2: Sanders was a cam Ward From my.
- 44:17Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I think teams that need quarterbacks
- 44:20Speaker 1: like the Jets and the Giants are just gonna end
- 44:21Speaker 1: up overpaying to move up in the draft. Yeah, trade
- 44:25Speaker 1: their next two number one picks or something. The Jets
- 44:28Speaker 1: make me laugh so much though. It's like they their
- 44:32Speaker 1: fans just never learn, like, oh, they thought they.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Were going to the super Bowl this year.
- 44:38Speaker 1: I'm like, these are the Jets and Aaron Rodgers coming
- 44:41Speaker 1: off from he's old, he's cranky, he's a conspiracy theorist
- 44:46Speaker 1: and pisses off all the national media. That's fucking great.
- 44:50Speaker 2: I just I just laugh.
- 44:50Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, god, it's I mean, hey, I'm
- 44:52Speaker 1: a Red Sox fan. I went through it all the
- 44:54Speaker 1: way till two thousand and four, even the Patriots. Patriots
- 44:58Speaker 1: were you know, one and fifteen a lot of my
- 44:59Speaker 1: years growing up. You know, we had that great twenty
- 45:02Speaker 1: year run obviously, and now it's we're kind of back
- 45:04Speaker 1: into the dol drums. But you can't.
- 45:07Speaker 2: It's hard to go twenty years though and be dominant. True,
- 45:10Speaker 2: But what do you want to see the giants do?
- 45:14Speaker 4: I think it's it's news out.
- 45:16Speaker 3: Yeah, you just gotta go back to square one and
- 45:19Speaker 3: revamp the whole place.
- 45:20Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's sad, but that's I think that's what.
- 45:23Speaker 3: It's come to there's some good decent talent there, but
- 45:26Speaker 3: you know, there's no there's no leadership, and there's no
- 45:28Speaker 3: there's no real straight direction.
- 45:32Speaker 1: I mean, the stable, dable last I mean, the thing
- 45:35Speaker 1: about da Ball is like, I don't I like him.
- 45:38Speaker 2: He just he didn't draft fucking Daniel Jones, right.
- 45:41Speaker 1: You know, he's not the one that let Saquon Barkley walk.
- 45:44Speaker 1: He's not in control of that, like like Bill Belichick
- 45:46Speaker 1: wasn't New England. He's not in control of all this ship.
- 45:49Speaker 2: They have a GM.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Yeah, no, the management it's it's it starts at the top, yeah,
- 45:54Speaker 3: you know, and it works its way down, but it's yeah,
- 45:56Speaker 3: they've done some crazy moves.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Yeah, and they fired the Chicago folks.
- 46:00Speaker 2: That what I mean, what the hell were they think
- 46:04Speaker 2: of it? It's so it's a very weird. Kayla Williams
- 46:08Speaker 2: just not called time out, Like I'm not going to
- 46:09Speaker 2: get this playoff. Let's call time out right, settle down
- 46:12Speaker 2: to a quick out a field goal.
- 46:14Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever seen a year like this
- 46:15Speaker 4: in professional football. In the game last night, yeah, yeah, what.
- 46:19Speaker 1: The guy the ref is literally like I I can't
- 46:22Speaker 1: complain too much because you know, Patriots got their breaks
- 46:25Speaker 1: over that twenty year round with Tom Brady.
- 46:27Speaker 2: But the ref literally is.
- 46:28Speaker 1: Running from the sideline singingly a false start, which kills
- 46:31Speaker 1: the whole fucking play.
- 46:31Speaker 2: The whistles are blowing, so when the ball gets fumbled,
- 46:33Speaker 2: no one really.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Is like kind ofly, you hear the whistle, you kind
- 46:37Speaker 1: of stop, yeah, and then they just change it through
- 46:39Speaker 1: a little formation declined.
- 46:41Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck just happened? What's going on? Like,
- 46:48Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Casey is not one of the super Bowl
- 46:49Speaker 2: this year? No, they've had yeah too many?
- 46:53Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think it's going to change.
- 46:54Speaker 2: It's that was that noise? Did you hear anything? Oh?
- 46:58Speaker 1: I heard it in here?
- 46:59Speaker 2: I was like it was like a fax machine noise
- 47:01Speaker 2: like there. But yeah, football.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Is, you know, it's it's almost becoming unwatchable some of
- 47:08Speaker 1: these games. Yeah, yeah, Like even even like that play
- 47:12Speaker 1: last night, Like, how the fuck are you?
- 47:14Speaker 2: Like?
- 47:15Speaker 1: You have one play left? I don't know why they
- 47:17Speaker 1: just didn't tick the field goal with fifteen seconds left.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Just kick it right, don't mess around, right, and they
- 47:22Speaker 1: mess around and like the center just hikes it early.
- 47:25Speaker 2: The quarterbacks. I'm like, come on, who's coaching you guys.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Who's preparing you guys? It's comical.
- 47:32Speaker 1: And of course it's against Kansas City, who won like
- 47:34Speaker 1: five games like that.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Yeah, this year.
- 47:37Speaker 2: It's like god.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Like see, I'm just like a I'm a Pats fan,
- 47:41Speaker 1: so I don't want to see anyone better. I don't
- 47:43Speaker 1: want another goat.
- 47:44Speaker 2: I want Fraidy to be the goat. But I don't know.
- 47:50Speaker 4: Somewhere, I think the Kraft family will pull it together.
- 47:54Speaker 2: Wow, Bill, I mean Bob's eighty three.
- 47:57Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, he's like Jerry Jones in the early eighties, right,
