- 1:16Speaker 1: started this yourself in Milford, and this is the pretty
- 1:21Speaker 1: It is one of the big years. This is the
- 1:22Speaker 1: fifth year. I'm like, I think when you hit five,
- 1:25Speaker 1: you ain't going nowhere.
- 1:27Speaker 2: I hope you know what I mean, you know, if
- 1:28Speaker 2: it's a staple, Yeah it is.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I mean I think I think just with the we'll
- 1:33Speaker 1: talk about the growth of the numbers in a little bit,
- 1:35Speaker 1: but I mean, you're doing a fantastic job. Last year
- 1:38Speaker 1: was the first year I went. The weather, unfortunately, was
- 1:42Speaker 1: I mean, god awful.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I mean it really that.
- 1:46Speaker 1: You couldn't ask for a worse day other than like
- 1:48Speaker 1: a fucking blizzard or something. But actually a blizzard probably
- 1:51Speaker 1: would have been better because you would you would be
- 1:53Speaker 1: soaking wet.
- 1:54Speaker 2: You just fucking brushed the snow off.
- 1:55Speaker 3: It was dry for setup all the way up until
- 1:58Speaker 3: about six fifteen. Yeah, the first two hours of setup
- 2:01Speaker 3: were great, like, oh we might get through this, and
- 2:03Speaker 3: then it turned.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I was fucking sopping wet.
- 2:07Speaker 1: But you know what though, that crowd that you know,
- 2:10Speaker 1: just the you know, the run runners were playing, the
- 2:12Speaker 1: beers were flowing. We did this short little route. We
- 2:15Speaker 1: actually stopped it. We turned early because it was just
- 2:17Speaker 1: the weather was that bad like that, you know, the.
- 2:19Speaker 2: True like runners, like those fucking runner people, they don't care.
- 2:23Speaker 2: They'll run through fucking anything.
- 2:24Speaker 3: What was it the guy who finished in something like
- 2:27Speaker 3: twenty five minutes or something like three and a half miles.
- 2:30Speaker 2: That's insane, But you did it, jerk.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, a bad example for the rest
- 2:37Speaker 3: of Yeah, writing for fifty minutes.
- 2:38Speaker 2: I uh, we took it. We got the braid with
- 2:40Speaker 2: us and uh, he's.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I don't just want to go home when an't we eating?
- 2:44Speaker 1: You know, like it's top bringing kids to somebody, especially
- 2:47Speaker 1: in the weather's bad. But I was with some friends too.
- 2:49Speaker 1: We had a good little crew, like ten of us
- 2:51Speaker 1: walk We just walked up pretty much up to your
- 2:52Speaker 1: street and then we turned around and went back.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one mile loop.
- 2:57Speaker 3: We did the mile so okay, Yeah, that's the most
- 2:59Speaker 3: common loop for anyone with families.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Or strollers or dogs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Last year you didn't really get to experience it because
- 3:06Speaker 3: of the rain. We had Laser Tag on the go came.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 3:10Speaker 3: You called them up and I said, hey, I met
- 3:12Speaker 3: them at an Islanders game and I said, this is amazing.
- 3:14Speaker 3: I want you at my event. I was willing to
- 3:16Speaker 3: pay and do everything. And after the fact, you said
- 3:18Speaker 3: it was such an awesome event. He didn't even charge me.
- 3:20Speaker 3: And he's already coming back for this year.
- 3:22Speaker 2: That's great. He had the same comment. He says, it
- 3:24Speaker 2: can't be worse weather. I can't. I mean, if it is,
- 3:28Speaker 2: then fuck. But it didn't.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean, do you think, like, what do you think
- 3:36Speaker 1: the percentage of people showed up for the ticket sales
- 3:38Speaker 1: that you had?
- 3:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we had it was over eighteen hundred
- 3:43Speaker 3: people that registered and we're going to show I would
- 3:47Speaker 3: say half. Yeah, I think it was half. And last
- 3:50Speaker 3: minute we had to move locations, change venues from behind
- 3:53Speaker 3: the library up to the nadatorium that academy area whatever. Yeah,
- 3:57Speaker 3: so I had to quit get a big tent, which
- 4:00Speaker 3: was another last minute. That was mad Tents. Thank you
- 4:02Speaker 3: for saving me.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was that was.
- 4:06Speaker 3: You know, a twenty four hour call order and saved
- 4:09Speaker 3: my life. But yeah, it was. It was incredible and
- 4:13Speaker 3: the weather was so bad. I think half people showed
- 4:15Speaker 3: up and half people didn't. I still have some shirts,
- 4:18Speaker 3: so I'm going to bring them this year, and if
- 4:19Speaker 3: you were there, it's an honor system if you wanted.
- 4:22Speaker 2: One, I'll have extra shirts. Nice. I know a lot
- 4:25Speaker 2: of people didn't get them. You didn't send them to
- 4:27Speaker 2: like I wasn't somewhere. No, I didn't. I didn't take
- 4:31Speaker 2: the loser the super Bowl shirts.
- 4:34Speaker 3: And I also I mailed a few two people that
- 4:37Speaker 3: were remote. But I'm not going to mail out an
- 4:40Speaker 3: extra two three hundred shirts.
- 4:42Speaker 2: No, No, that's good.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember the tent was actually pretty tight. I
- 4:46Speaker 1: mean I think it was big. That was that was good.
- 4:48Speaker 3: It was big and it was packed. Yeah, it was packed.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I was there for a little while with the rum
- 4:52Speaker 1: Runners playing, and uh like the again with the weather though,
- 4:56Speaker 1: it's like once you get wet, it was.
- 4:58Speaker 2: It was windy and cold. You were huddled two space
- 5:00Speaker 2: heaters and that was like that's that's where it really started.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Like I've been plenty of like outdoor knowing on Patriot
- 5:05Speaker 1: football games, and it's just the point.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Where you're like, all right, we gotta go. I'm done.
- 5:09Speaker 2: You know, we got to go home, shower.
- 5:11Speaker 1: You know, it's Thanksgiving and we still got shit we
- 5:13Speaker 1: gotta do and prepare and.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Well, you know, it was very unique because we were
- 5:18Speaker 3: planning on two thousand. We had eighteen one hundred and
- 5:21Speaker 3: sum register, but we had supplies and things for about
- 5:24Speaker 3: two thousand. Yeah, so when people did make that call
- 5:27Speaker 3: at the end of the evening or end of the morning,
- 5:29Speaker 3: I should say, they were walking by and like, oh,
- 5:31Speaker 3: there's still cases and cases of beer. So I saw
- 5:34Speaker 3: some people grabbing a six pack or two and walk
- 5:36Speaker 3: get out.
- 5:37Speaker 1: I had a couple of stuff than my my puddy.
- 5:41Speaker 3: In periods, I tht you're cann say in your storage
- 5:43Speaker 3: compartment of called your stomach.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Oh well no, there was already six of those in there. Yeah,
- 5:50Speaker 1: so let's obviously so it's year five, year one, you
- 5:53Speaker 1: had about six hundred dish.
- 5:55Speaker 2: If you have the exact number in front of you,
- 5:56Speaker 2: white believe I do. I do so.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one, I thought I was going to get
- 6:00Speaker 3: about fifty friends that I could peer pressure to come out,
- 6:02Speaker 3: drink a beer and run around golf beach. I ended
- 6:06Speaker 3: up with six hundred and seven, which was amazing, and
- 6:09Speaker 3: we quickly turned it into let's get some money to
- 6:12Speaker 3: the local schools, and we donated eight thousand dollars to
- 6:15Speaker 3: CAFPEN Elementary because it was our first year and we
- 6:19Speaker 3: didn't really know what we were going to do. Then
- 6:21Speaker 3: kept going eight hundred and fifty fourteen sixty last year
- 6:26Speaker 3: eighteen eighty one. So the growth has just been phenomenal,
- 6:29Speaker 3: and really the focus has not been on making an
- 6:33Speaker 3: amazing race. We don't have the tags that you time
- 6:36Speaker 3: and clock splits, and we don't have the fancy medals
- 6:40Speaker 3: at the end. We have really nice shirts, but I
- 6:43Speaker 3: get a great deal from a parent of the Milford
- 6:45Speaker 3: Public Schools who runs a print shop. So our big
- 6:48Speaker 3: focus is on giving money back to the community, and
- 6:51Speaker 3: so far we've given one hundred and eleven thousand dollars
- 6:53Speaker 3: back to Milford Public Schools, to Avery's Little Army, which
- 6:58Speaker 3: is all about pediatric cancer awareness and train and cures
- 7:02Speaker 3: and just people in the community. Avery's an amazing girl
- 7:05Speaker 3: and her parents, Paul and Lisa, that run that organization
- 7:07Speaker 3: are incredible.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Paul was on he was last year. He was here.
- 7:10Speaker 3: He joined us and then also purple pantry boxes because
- 7:14Speaker 3: food insecurity is real, and one out of every three
- 7:17Speaker 3: people in Milford lives with food insecurity. Doesn't mean they're hungry,
- 7:21Speaker 3: doesn't mean that they can't find something, but it means
- 7:25Speaker 3: they don't know where their next meal is coming from.
- 7:27Speaker 3: And that's crazy to think about because I'm fortunate to
- 7:30Speaker 3: not ever have been in that situation.
- 7:31Speaker 2: So lots of money for the community. New. I know
- 7:35Speaker 2: you didn't ask me yet, but I'm going to tell
- 7:36Speaker 2: you new this.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Year, I'm actually in the process of making finisher I'll
- 7:41Speaker 3: call them medallions because I'm making them with the laser
- 7:44Speaker 3: printer type of thing.
- 7:46Speaker 2: So I have to I have to train for this event. Now.
- 7:49Speaker 2: All the children are going to get one for sure.
- 7:51Speaker 3: I don't know if I have enough time and patience
- 7:54Speaker 3: to make twenty two hundred because we really anticipate twenty
- 7:57Speaker 3: two hundred people this year, which is going to be.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Great, but it's cool.
- 8:00Speaker 1: It's got because we're getting such good weather this year, phenomenal.
- 8:04Speaker 2: We you have walkins available or not? We do. We do.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Can't guarantee your shirt though, or.
- 8:09Speaker 3: No, So if you register before one of the early
- 8:12Speaker 3: November days, I forget what it says on the website
- 8:14Speaker 3: Milford Turkey Trot dot com. But if you register before
- 8:18Speaker 3: like November fifth or something like that, when I have
- 8:21Speaker 3: to put my final order in, you're guaranteed a shirt
- 8:23Speaker 3: of your size. Otherwise you might just end up with
- 8:25Speaker 3: whatever extra shirt there is because it takes time. And again,
- 8:30Speaker 3: I'm not going to go out and buy two thousand shirts.
- 8:33Speaker 3: If only a thousand people sign up, that's money that
- 8:34Speaker 3: could go to charity.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Yeah, So it's a different focus. I'm
- 8:39Speaker 2: still astonished by the one hundred eleven thousand. That's amazing.
- 8:42Speaker 2: That's amazing. I didn't think it would be anything like that.
- 8:44Speaker 3: But when I was living in California before Connecticut, I
- 8:47Speaker 3: lived there for twelve years. Every single year I did
- 8:50Speaker 3: the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot and it's sponsored by Applied Materials.
- 8:54Speaker 2: They don't even call.
- 8:54Speaker 3: It the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot anymore. They call it
- 8:56Speaker 3: the Applied Materials Turkey Trot. And there's forty or sixty
- 9:01Speaker 3: thousand people that do that every year.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Wow.
- 9:03Speaker 3: So I knew it was an event, right, But that's
- 9:05Speaker 3: just a different scale, in different size, and that's been
- 9:08Speaker 3: running for who knows how long.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Yeah, they get a little better weather out.
- 9:10Speaker 3: There, guaranteed seventy two and three and fifty days a year.
- 9:14Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 9:15Speaker 3: That's the only thing I missed about San Jose, California.
- 9:18Speaker 2: So, I mean, you're officially at Milfordite now, though I
- 9:21Speaker 2: mean I'm never going anywhere. Yeah.
- 9:23Speaker 3: My neighbor calls it a coffin house. He says, the
- 9:25Speaker 3: only way you're getting me out of here is in
- 9:27Speaker 3: a coffin. Yeah, because it's such a beautiful The neighborhoods
- 9:30Speaker 3: are amazing, the community's amazing. Getting involved with a lot
- 9:34Speaker 3: of the public schools to help improve, and I mean
- 9:37Speaker 3: there's always things that can improve, right, but the schools
- 9:39Speaker 3: are great.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I've only had exposure to calf Pen Elementary, but every
- 9:43Speaker 2: year our kids have phenomenal teachers and phenomenal counselors and.
- 9:48Speaker 1: No, they this is I mean, I don't even have
- 9:51Speaker 1: to say it anymore in the show, how much I
- 9:52Speaker 1: talk about this town.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Gosh, and the sports and the activities. Right now, I mean,
- 9:56Speaker 3: I'm learning how much kids sports can take over your life.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Oh yeah's insane.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yep, that's why we got to squeeze in
- 10:02Speaker 1: a little window for your busy lifestyle.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry about that. No, no, not at all at all.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Now, last year, after we did the show, we were
- 10:14Speaker 1: able to get Viva to sponsor UH to sponsor the
- 10:17Speaker 1: race and donate some Viva Seltzers and they were super
- 10:23Speaker 1: generous thing. It was almost like ten cases or something.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Was it was ten cases of Seltzers, and I have
- 10:27Speaker 3: to say they went really quick.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, I well, you know how I
- 10:30Speaker 1: sold it to them, not that they weren't going to
- 10:32Speaker 1: do it anyway, but I'm like, you know, because they
- 10:34Speaker 1: pushed the the you know, it's low calories, no carbs,
- 10:37Speaker 1: no sugar.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I'm like, these are all I told them, Michel.
- 10:40Speaker 1: These are all like serious racers, Like they're gonna really
- 10:44Speaker 1: want to try your beverage because they're going to look
- 10:46Speaker 1: at the calorie count and then they're going to look
- 10:47Speaker 1: at the beer next to it and be like, oh
- 10:49Speaker 1: I want to try this and they're like oh yeah.
- 10:50Speaker 2: I'm like yeah. I Meanwhile, my fat ass rolls up.
- 10:52Speaker 2: I'm drinking them anyway. But you know, so I calm
- 10:55Speaker 2: to your house to drop off the cases.
- 10:59Speaker 1: You are are the definitely the Clark Griswold of your neighborhood.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so if you live in Milford and you
- 11:08Speaker 1: know where Gulf Street is when you put the lights up.
- 11:12Speaker 3: I start doing the lights a little bit before Thanksgiving
- 11:15Speaker 3: so that I can turn them on Thanksgiving night.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Right, So, well, they were on before Thanksgiving.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Night because I have them on just in my house,
- 11:22Speaker 3: right yeah, so little background. I do just my house
- 11:26Speaker 3: for the packet pickup because Dix is a sponsor again
- 11:28Speaker 3: this year, and they have been for a couple of years.
- 11:30Speaker 3: So we do early packet pickup at Dick's and then
- 11:32Speaker 3: we do it at some other sponsors places, and then
- 11:34Speaker 3: the last day or two is at my house because
- 11:36Speaker 3: it's just too crazy to carry all the stuff around,
- 11:39Speaker 3: and I figure, why not make it easy to find
- 11:40Speaker 3: the house. Not only am I the only non white
- 11:43Speaker 3: or beige colored house on my block, it's bright blue,
- 11:47Speaker 3: but I also have my Christmas lights on, which are
- 11:49Speaker 3: so non New England style.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I love it.
- 11:52Speaker 3: They're all multi color, they're all huge inflatables.
- 11:56Speaker 1: But when I say the neighborhood, I mean you literally
- 12:01Speaker 1: light up your whole street.
- 12:02Speaker 3: I got some rebar, I got some PVC and I
- 12:07Speaker 3: used a couple of the yard signed stakes, so that
- 12:11Speaker 3: from Golf Street two houses down, and Golf Street one
- 12:14Speaker 3: house down in the other direction, all the way down
- 12:17Speaker 3: the end of Willbar and around the corner we have
- 12:19Speaker 3: arches of continuous lights and they're all hooked up to
- 12:22Speaker 3: my main podium light out in the yard, so that
- 12:26Speaker 3: when those turn on on the timer, the whole neighborhood
- 12:28Speaker 3: is lit simultaneously.
- 12:29Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
- 12:30Speaker 1: I turned the corner and I'm like, fucking, this is
- 12:33Speaker 1: totally tore. So then I pulled into your house and
- 12:36Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, who did all this? You're like me,
- 12:38Speaker 1: I'm like, I fucking knew it. I knew it.
- 12:41Speaker 2: It just I love smiling and I love seeing it.
- 12:43Speaker 1: You're like the first house on the right, you're down
- 12:46Speaker 1: a little bit and they go all the way and
- 12:48Speaker 1: not your streets super long, but like they go down
- 12:49Speaker 1: all the way to the end.
- 12:50Speaker 2: But with LEDs, it's the same as like to it.
- 12:53Speaker 2: They're all plugged into your house. They're all plugged in
- 12:55Speaker 2: right there.
- 12:55Speaker 3: It's great, yeah, but yeah, it's super ful.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Any neighbor was like, you can say it.
- 13:01Speaker 3: I had one neighbor who was reluctant to have because
- 13:05Speaker 3: I use the multicolor. He's like, no, we need white,
- 13:07Speaker 3: we need white. I'll do white to match the house. Yeah,
- 13:10Speaker 3: i'll do white for your small stretch. And he saw
- 13:12Speaker 3: what I was doing and he came around.
- 13:14Speaker 1: No, no, I'll keep it going. I'm going multicolor right. Honestly,
- 13:19Speaker 1: I took my family there. We did you know, one
- 13:22Speaker 1: of none of the light drives, you know, through town,
- 13:24Speaker 1: and that's the first stop, you guys.
- 13:25Speaker 2: To see what this guy's did there. Oh out, Yeah,
- 13:28Speaker 2: it's cool.
- 13:29Speaker 3: I had to find a way to store all those
- 13:31Speaker 3: PBC pipes because they're from twenty five.
- 13:33Speaker 2: To forty feet. They're huge. Yeah, and I just I
- 13:35Speaker 2: didn't know what to do with them.
- 13:36Speaker 1: So it's just like arches, archways all the way down
- 13:39Speaker 1: each every driveway.
- 13:41Speaker 2: It was neat. It was neat, super never say anything
- 13:43Speaker 2: like it. It was cool. I appreciate you got to
- 13:45Speaker 2: call like ABC for that.
- 13:47Speaker 3: I am glad you referenced Clark because I need to
- 13:50Speaker 3: watch that movie at least ten times every year.
- 13:52Speaker 2: It's just such a fun movie. Do you see there
- 13:54Speaker 2: making another one? I did not.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Yeah, every living yeah, oh, said National Inputs Review. All
- 14:02Speaker 1: the living members are coming. It's probably gonna suck because
- 14:04Speaker 1: you know, like that's just what happens. Yeah, yeah, I know,
- 14:08Speaker 1: it's it's Clark her the two kids obviously probably well,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I don't know, he got real political and he might
- 14:16Speaker 1: not be hireable at this point.
- 14:17Speaker 2: But uh, obviously all the parents are dead from that one.
- 14:22Speaker 2: But yeah, I might have kids, who knows.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I'm sure they're going to make it a
- 14:25Speaker 1: whole like they're you know, grandparents now and all that crap.
- 14:28Speaker 2: That's that's gonna go.
- 14:30Speaker 1: But cool, it's i mean, something you know we grew
- 14:33Speaker 1: up on, you know, so definitely we're gonna.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Watch well that that is.
- 14:36Speaker 1: I don't have any expectations for it, though I did
- 14:39Speaker 1: read that I don't know what's coming out this year
- 14:40Speaker 1: next year.
- 14:41Speaker 3: But that is a focus of like a driver of
- 14:44Speaker 3: why doing so many lights? And the first time we
- 14:46Speaker 3: got even just the slightest dusting of snow, I took out.
- 14:50Speaker 3: My friend bought me a drone for my birthday, one
- 14:52Speaker 3: of the small little ones. I took it out and
- 14:54Speaker 3: I flew it over the neighborhood and it just looks
- 14:56Speaker 3: so cool to see all these lights going there. Yeah, yeah,
- 14:59Speaker 3: it's fun and that's what it's for. And the kids
- 15:01Speaker 3: love it, and kids in the neighborhood say, when are
- 15:03Speaker 3: you going to put them up? I'm like, you guys,
- 15:04Speaker 3: it's August.
- 15:06Speaker 1: So we're this time last year when we did the show,
- 15:08Speaker 1: I wasn't I don't think I was in my house yet.
- 15:11Speaker 1: So we moved in the week before Thanksgiving last year.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Uh so we're being busy for the holidays.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it was well, we didn't have we went out,
- 15:21Speaker 1: we went to stone Bridge I think for dinner. But
- 15:24Speaker 1: this year we haven't really decided what we're doing. But
- 15:28Speaker 1: as you know, I've owned a home before, but never
- 15:31Speaker 1: owned a home with a kid. So now it's you know,
- 15:34Speaker 1: and Nicole was always like, oh, you know, I really
- 15:36Speaker 1: wish we could have sleepovers because we lived in a
- 15:38Speaker 1: little condo and you know, if we had a house,
- 15:40Speaker 1: you can have friends over and we can have a
- 15:42Speaker 1: little get together. And now we've only been there a
- 15:45Speaker 1: year and now it's like, all right, can we fucking
- 15:47Speaker 1: haul all sleepovers and get together because it's fucking I
- 15:51Speaker 1: just want to enjoy that house on my own. You know,
- 15:53Speaker 1: we joke about it, but we're now we're probably gonna
- 15:55Speaker 1: do so apparently my neighborhood is awesome for Halloween. Every
- 15:59Speaker 1: all my neighbors just saying it. It's like a big
- 16:00Speaker 1: adult party, which is I'm all for. And it's a
- 16:03Speaker 1: Friday night. So and the kid is a football game
- 16:06Speaker 1: that we already told them, sorry, we're not going to.
- 16:09Speaker 3: You're skipping the he's not gonna play varsity.
- 16:11Speaker 1: It's varsity it so yeah, so we're excited for that.
- 16:16Speaker 1: And then obviously we're probably gonna host Thanksgiving and Christmas in.
- 16:19Speaker 2: New Year's and blah blah blah blah blah. I'm like,
- 16:22Speaker 2: this shit just adds up.
- 16:24Speaker 3: So it's it's funny you mentioned Halloween. It's super pumped about.
- 16:27Speaker 3: It's one of my favorite. I have three bins of
- 16:28Speaker 3: costumes that I have just accrued over the years, and
- 16:31Speaker 3: I keep because then all the neighbors come to me
- 16:33Speaker 3: and they all pick one. But last year we were out.
- 16:36Speaker 3: I always have kids over. One of the neighbors brings
- 16:38Speaker 3: a gator with a trailer on the back and hey
- 16:41Speaker 3: bales and we do a hay ride around the neighborhood
- 16:43Speaker 3: for the kids. Nice hand out king size to everybody
- 16:45Speaker 3: before we go out in a real trick or treat.
- 16:47Speaker 2: We're out in a group and we're.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Going and people just start screaming profanities into their phone
- 16:51Speaker 3: and like, what is going on over there? Like you're
- 16:53Speaker 3: a nice lady, Like I know you say. This guy
- 16:56Speaker 3: just walked up to my house, grabbed the entire bowl
- 16:58Speaker 3: of candy and dumped it in his Okay, like all right,
- 17:01Speaker 3: it happens. And the next one happens. And it's just
- 17:03Speaker 3: one street over. As we're walking around from golf kids
- 17:06Speaker 3: over we see them and I stop these kids. I'm like, guys,
- 17:08Speaker 3: we can see you on camera, like stop doing this.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Quit wrecking this for everybody, Like yeah, whatever, And they
- 17:15Speaker 3: just keep running.
- 17:16Speaker 2: So I hand the dog off to my wife and
- 17:17Speaker 2: I follow them, and I watched them go down the
- 17:19Speaker 2: street and keep doing it, and it was just I
- 17:21Speaker 2: ended up grabbing the bag.
- 17:23Speaker 3: I didn't touch the kid. I grabbed his bag and
- 17:25Speaker 3: I got it out of his hand and he just
- 17:26Speaker 3: about pooped himself, held it and I said it was
- 17:30Speaker 3: it was a middle school I think high schooler.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Maybe I don't. I don't even know.
- 17:35Speaker 3: I can't gage these days, right. My son's turning nine
- 17:38Speaker 3: on the twentieth whenever that is, And I can't tell
- 17:43Speaker 3: the difference, but I still I'm holding the kid's bag
- 17:45Speaker 3: and he's like, well, that's my kid.
- 17:46Speaker 2: It was like, yeah, call your parents. I'd happily hand
- 17:48Speaker 2: it to your parents. So the phone, I was like,
- 17:51Speaker 2: I will call them. What's the number? And it was
- 17:53Speaker 2: just this whole ordeal.
- 17:54Speaker 3: And I have it all on like multiple cameras because
- 17:56Speaker 3: he's caught on other cameras.
- 17:57Speaker 2: I have multiple on my house just from Harroween Porch Pirate.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, say, I'm gonna post you all over TikTok,
- 18:04Speaker 1: you little shit.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Oh. It was so so brutal, like gonna lie. I'm
- 18:10Speaker 2: not gonna lie.
- 18:11Speaker 1: I was probably at eleven, I was living in Pennsylvania.
- 18:15Speaker 2: You were that guy.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Well, you know what, because it wasn't It's not like
- 18:18Speaker 1: they do it now. It seems like every other house
- 18:21Speaker 1: does it. No one hands out as much as they
- 18:23Speaker 1: used to back in the day. But there was this
- 18:25Speaker 1: like really rich guy in our neighborhood and he would
- 18:27Speaker 1: eat out like ten buckets, like just fuck it, and
- 18:30Speaker 1: we would just dump dump them, yeah of them. We
- 18:32Speaker 1: wouldn't take it this. We didn't have enough room, you know.
- 18:35Speaker 2: But wasn't big enough. No, it wasn't. It wasn't, but uh,
- 18:38Speaker 2: I mean really it's funny.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Like like Brandon, he doesn't really do it anymore. He's
- 18:42Speaker 1: gonna be sixteen and now he has a game so
- 18:43Speaker 1: he won't be trick or treating. But you know, it's
- 18:46Speaker 1: it's fun seeing the kids and they go like we
- 18:47Speaker 1: did this because you go through the candy, you know,
- 18:50Speaker 1: and they sort.
- 18:51Speaker 2: It out like when I was a kid, and they
- 18:52Speaker 2: do all that and then they never eat it all.
- 18:55Speaker 1: They're like, we're gonna eat it all and then they
- 18:57Speaker 1: eat like ten pieces and they're like in a fucking coma,
- 19:00Speaker 1: which is good.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we take that.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Then she well I don't I could care less, but
- 19:04Speaker 1: she'll take the candy and not hide it, but like,
- 19:06Speaker 1: you know, shit.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Out and then within a week she tosses it and
- 19:09Speaker 2: he forgets about it, you know.
- 19:11Speaker 3: But but it's so fun for the kids to grab
- 19:14Speaker 3: some yeah and get it. And I mean, I'm not
- 19:17Speaker 3: gonna lie. I would dump it back when I was
- 19:19Speaker 3: a kid. But it's a different day. Yeah, you're on
- 19:22Speaker 3: any porch, it's recorded everything. You're anywhere. Man, it's so different,
- 19:25Speaker 3: and like you said, you're not gonna eat it all. No,
- 19:28Speaker 3: so in my old you know, whiny days now that
- 19:33Speaker 3: I consider I'm an old man, I guess like pisses
- 19:37Speaker 3: me off. When I saw someone do that five or
- 19:39Speaker 3: six times, so I grabbed his candy.
- 19:42Speaker 2: BG. Oh, I love it. I'd be good for you.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Fuck these kids, I don't know, I could probably get
- 19:46Speaker 2: sue it. I'm sure. No, he didn't touch them. I didn't,
- 19:49Speaker 2: but I mean he stole his bag. I give it
- 19:51Speaker 2: back to him. I just with all the candy in it. Yeah, yeah,
- 19:54Speaker 2: just teaching him a lesson. I don't know, probably not
- 19:56Speaker 2: the kids listening.
- 19:57Speaker 1: You see that. Yeah, he's trying to be a tough
- 19:59Speaker 1: guy in the radio. And now I fucking who really
- 20:01Speaker 1: won that one? I went home with there.
- 20:03Speaker 3: I made him stand there and peeing his pants for
- 20:05Speaker 3: ten minutes. But his friend's bolted like there was a
- 20:09Speaker 3: crowd and they all bolted.
- 20:13Speaker 2: I have my police flat jacket on.
- 20:16Speaker 3: The thing that's great about this jacket I got it
- 20:18Speaker 3: in college from an army surplus store. I don't think
- 20:20Speaker 3: it's really bulletproof, but that was always my joke. It
- 20:23Speaker 3: had so many pouches for like ammal clips and things.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Although that I could fit twelve beers in the in
- 20:29Speaker 3: the jacket.
- 20:29Speaker 2: It's just like a vest.
- 20:31Speaker 3: It sucks. Oh yeah, yeah, but it just doesn't breathe.
- 20:35Speaker 3: So I'm just like sweating constantly in this. It doesn't
- 20:37Speaker 3: matter how cold it is, because it's like solid whenever
- 20:40Speaker 3: that material is. But I could start the trick or
- 20:43Speaker 3: treating with twelve beers on me plus one in the hand,
- 20:46Speaker 3: one in the chamber.
- 20:48Speaker 2: There you go. Where are you going as this year?
- 20:51Speaker 3: Undecided? It's really a last minute type of thing.
- 20:54Speaker 2: So even my kids haven't even picked anything yet.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Yeah, so I hate Halloween. No, well, I don't hate it.
- 21:00Speaker 1: It's just so here hear me out. When I when
- 21:04Speaker 1: I was a kid, I loved it. The only thing
- 21:06Speaker 1: I don't like about Halloween, I just don't like dressing up.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I just don't like it. I just it is what
- 21:10Speaker 1: it is. I don't mind. You know, the you know
- 21:14Speaker 1: we're gonna I'm gonna love. I'm gonna have a great
- 21:16Speaker 1: time Friday night. We're doing it right. We're inviting people
- 21:19Speaker 1: over and we're gonna have a chip you know, come
- 21:21Speaker 1: to fifteen Value Road for nips and beers and candy.
- 21:25Speaker 1: We're gonna have it all right, pizza whatever, But Mike,
- 21:29Speaker 1: if I'm hosting my first one, I gotta dress up.
- 21:34Speaker 1: I don't know what I don't again, I don't like
- 21:36Speaker 1: dressing up. But I have an idea. But I don't
- 21:38Speaker 1: know if a lot of people are gonna understand what
- 21:40Speaker 1: it is.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Is it some obscure character from a scene?
- 21:44Speaker 1: So I want to set up a little table like this,
- 21:47Speaker 1: and you know Stephen Crowder, No, he's the one that
- 21:51Speaker 1: the change my mind guy? Okay, okay, okay. So I
- 21:54Speaker 1: want to put a big sign in front, says I
- 21:57Speaker 1: don't know if I want to go Halloween's the best holiday,
- 22:00Speaker 1: change my mind or Halloween's the worst holiday?
- 22:03Speaker 2: Changed my mind? Or you could flip it. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 22:07Speaker 2: mid conversation, you flip it. But you kids will have
- 22:10Speaker 2: no idea.
- 22:10Speaker 1: But I think it don't like you know, they'll know
- 22:11Speaker 1: that they won't know who Stephen Crowder is the guy
- 22:14Speaker 1: who does it because you just start doing it again.
- 22:16Speaker 1: When Charlie Kirk got killed, He's like, fuck this, I'm
- 22:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna start being you know, going out there again.
- 22:21Speaker 1: And uh but I think when people see that changed
- 22:24Speaker 1: my mind because those are all memes on the internet,
- 22:26Speaker 1: you know, I.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Don't know, or I don't know, so I thought you
- 22:30Speaker 2: were going. And then I don't really have to dress up.
- 22:31Speaker 2: I can walk away from the table to sign still there,
- 22:33Speaker 2: and now you just hold my my mug with my
- 22:34Speaker 2: jam is in it and change my mind? Are you right?
- 22:37Speaker 3: Though?
- 22:37Speaker 2: I should have a couple though, like flip them. Yeah.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a different conversation if I like if when
- 22:41Speaker 3: it is dying or something. It's easy because it's just
- 22:44Speaker 3: a piece of paper that you're going a different direction
- 22:46Speaker 3: when you started talking about the table, because one of
- 22:48Speaker 3: the best costumes I ever saw was someone at a
- 22:52Speaker 3: work function. So it's relatively PG but not yall. He
- 22:56Speaker 3: took a coffee table like an end table, small little square,
- 22:59Speaker 3: smaller this cut it out, put straps on it, and
- 23:02Speaker 3: then had glued like super glued, a lamp and a
- 23:05Speaker 3: little book and little things with glass of water.
- 23:07Speaker 2: And he walked around and people like what are you?
- 23:09Speaker 3: And he's wearing the lampshade as the hat, like what
- 23:11Speaker 3: are It's like, oh, I'm one night stand.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Ah, there you go. I like that clean.
- 23:15Speaker 3: But he's got a table so he can actually put
- 23:18Speaker 3: stuff on the table walking.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Around it was good. I like it. I liked it.
- 23:24Speaker 2: I like creative costumes.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, even like Braiden, he just you know,
- 23:29Speaker 1: put on he'll probably put on his well, he won't
- 23:31Speaker 1: do it this year, but I think he'll put on
- 23:32Speaker 1: a football helmet or you know, adjacent woorhe's mask and
- 23:36Speaker 1: just fucking walk around.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Or are the people that just wear a black T shirt. Yeah,
- 23:40Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 23:40Speaker 3: I just Halloween's awesome. I love it.
- 23:43Speaker 2: It's fun.
- 23:43Speaker 3: It's another excuse party why I'm excited, right, But like
- 23:46Speaker 3: as an adult, now I just I didn't.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I never wanted to go to a party like a costume,
- 23:51Speaker 1: like a dress up party, or go to a bar
- 23:53Speaker 1: and go to a Halloween Saturday night party to bar
- 23:56Speaker 1: and dress up.
- 23:56Speaker 2: I can't stand bars at them. I would always take
- 23:59Speaker 2: him off.
- 23:59Speaker 1: I don't know who the fuck's bed, you know, like,
- 24:02Speaker 1: look at you, you got blooded.
- 24:03Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Yeah, but now I'm like in the heart of Halloween
- 24:09Speaker 1: Land apparently, so I got to wrap your new neighborhood.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't be like the fat the screwed what
- 24:15Speaker 2: do you call scrowge Halloween? You just did it? Is
- 24:19Speaker 2: that what it is Screwgell. I don't want to be
- 24:21Speaker 2: it's just bad in general. Well you end up being good. Yeah,
- 24:25Speaker 2: but it took a lot of work. Well, some people
- 24:27Speaker 2: think good to start.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Well, see, I like Clark better Clark Clark. I don't
- 24:33Speaker 3: think he's good or bad.
- 24:34Speaker 2: He's let me tell you something.
- 24:36Speaker 1: If that water wasn't cold, he would have cheated on
- 24:38Speaker 1: his wife.
- 24:42Speaker 2: I mean, fantasies are one thing.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Christine Brigley, Come on, my gosh.
- 24:49Speaker 2: What is it. Beverly di'angelo, She's not She's not bad
- 24:52Speaker 2: either back then. No, No, yeah, I don't. I don't
- 24:56Speaker 2: know about the new one you're talking about. But no,
- 24:59Speaker 2: I mean she's just she's up there. Yeah, yeah, no,
- 25:02Speaker 2: she was. She was one of them. She's so moments
- 25:05Speaker 2: with her growing up.
- 25:06Speaker 3: This was a little little off topic, but I think
- 25:09Speaker 3: there's a new naked gun coming out.
- 25:11Speaker 2: It already came out, did it. Yeah?
- 25:12Speaker 3: It was uh Liam Nielsen and Liam l Anderson.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Yeah, was she in it?
- 25:18Speaker 3: No, Yeah, she's the female actress. That's all I know
- 25:21Speaker 3: of Pamia Anderson.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know, so I didn't see it. No,
- 25:26Speaker 2: I know what came out, though I didn't. I heard
- 25:28Speaker 2: it was really funny. Yeah, I don't go to movies.
- 25:29Speaker 3: I need to if it's I'm a Netflix at home,
- 25:33Speaker 3: at my own leisure. Once the kids are finally asleep,
- 25:36Speaker 3: and then I watched ten minutes of a movie and
- 25:38Speaker 3: I fall asleep.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Yeah I was. I started watching. Uh, this is flattering.
- 25:42Speaker 2: This is a real flattering podcast from me. Yeah, jeepers, jeepers,
- 25:45Speaker 2: creepers last night. Is that a horror? Yeah?
- 25:47Speaker 1: She wanted to watch something and then she got too
- 25:49Speaker 1: scared went upstairs. And then I started watching it and
- 25:52Speaker 1: I was just getting tired.
- 25:53Speaker 3: What is the appeal to watching a horror movie? Because
- 25:56Speaker 3: I I can't do it.
- 25:58Speaker 1: So I grew up like a horror fanatic, like got
- 26:01Speaker 1: Fangoria magazine, the whole nine.
- 26:03Speaker 2: I loved it. I loved The Friday thirteenth, the Night
- 26:06Speaker 2: Elm Streets whatever, as an adult well as a young adult.
- 26:11Speaker 1: And it was like the Screams and all that I
- 26:13Speaker 1: know you did last summer, Like those are fine.
- 26:17Speaker 2: I think it's just the suspense, okay. Like I actually prefer.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Like The b Ones, you know, the b movies from
- 26:24Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties, because there were such like when
- 26:27Speaker 1: you watched them back then, and to watch them now.
- 26:30Speaker 1: If you watch them now, there's such comic like value
- 26:34Speaker 1: to them, like like laugh out loud some of it.
- 26:36Speaker 1: You know, like you don't even think about it when
- 26:38Speaker 1: you're watching them back then. And then like I'll just
- 26:41Speaker 1: turn on something.
- 26:42Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh God, remember this movie like Toxic Avenger.
- 26:47Speaker 2: You ever heard of that? Now?
- 26:49Speaker 1: Yeah, so some dude fell in like a vat of
- 26:52Speaker 1: fucking chemicals and he became this nasty, gnarly guy, but
- 26:58Speaker 1: he became like a superhero.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Actually remaking the movies the only reason.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Want to bring it up with the remaking it but
- 27:03Speaker 1: cast as the Yeah, yeah, it's just it wasn't really
- 27:07Speaker 1: necessarily a horror movie, but you know it was gory.
- 27:09Speaker 2: It was gorrifest.
- 27:10Speaker 3: You know.
- 27:11Speaker 1: That's the difference too, Like some gory movies aren't really scary,
- 27:16Speaker 1: where some psychological thrillers aren't necessarily horror movie. You know
- 27:20Speaker 1: what I mean.
- 27:20Speaker 2: There's there's yeah put together these days.
- 27:24Speaker 3: I mean it's just I remember watching movies back in
- 27:28Speaker 3: the day. I mean, it wasn't a horror movie or anything,
- 27:30Speaker 3: but Spaceball's I thought it was hilarious that I tried, well,
- 27:34Speaker 3: I tried to watch the original.
- 27:36Speaker 2: I couldn't.
- 27:37Speaker 3: I just couldn't, Like, this is so cheesy. Yeah, I
- 27:43Speaker 3: was just you almost see the strings on the camera.
- 27:47Speaker 2: That's the point of the movie. That's the joke. When
- 27:50Speaker 2: I watched it the first time, it was just a
- 27:52Speaker 2: good movie. That literally is that joke. That's that's melt
- 27:57Speaker 2: books for you. The fucking oh god, lord, helmet God,
- 28:02Speaker 2: that was the best. That movie was awesome. It was
- 28:04Speaker 2: the Honey I shrunk the kid's dad. Yeah, that was perfect.
- 28:07Speaker 2: They have such a huge helmet on multiple facets. Yeah, yeah,
- 28:11Speaker 2: I pair. I don't know about that. But alright, let's

- 28:42Speaker 3: or something. Like that because it's it's really convenient when
- 28:46Speaker 3: people sign up early.
- 28:47Speaker 2: It has to plan.
- 28:48Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, it allows us to coordinate. But like any
- 28:52Speaker 3: other event anywhere in the world, we get ninety percent
- 28:55Speaker 3: of our people to register in the last four weeks.
- 28:57Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's twenty four for an adult and
- 29:01Speaker 3: fourteen for a kid. Www dot Milford, Turkey Trot dot com.
- 29:04Speaker 1: And there's percent of the proceeds go to the charity, right.
- 29:09Speaker 3: So yes, minus we are one hundred percent volunteer organization,
- 29:13Speaker 3: and that means that nobody anywhere gets any money for
- 29:16Speaker 3: putting on our volunteering time.
- 29:17Speaker 2: That's what volunteer means, right.
- 29:20Speaker 3: So what we do is we go out and we
- 29:22Speaker 3: find sponsors. If anyone wants to sponsor, it's available. You
- 29:25Speaker 3: just go to the website and click on the contact
- 29:28Speaker 3: us and it'll be email to me right away.
- 29:30Speaker 2: But all of our sponsors.
- 29:32Speaker 3: Pay for all the expenses, and we're talking about insurance,
- 29:35Speaker 3: we're talking about the permits to use the facilities. The
- 29:39Speaker 3: shirts are our biggest expense because they're our two thousand shirts.
- 29:42Speaker 3: We get a heck of a deal on them, but
- 29:44Speaker 3: still we're buying two thousand shirts. I pay for toilets,
- 29:46Speaker 3: I pay for police coverage, I pay for a bunch
- 29:48Speaker 3: of different stuff that's necessary, the liquor license to be
- 29:50Speaker 3: able to hand out free beer, which is necessary and
- 29:54Speaker 3: it's part of it. But those are costs. So all
- 29:57Speaker 3: of our costs have been covered by our sponsors. So
- 30:00Speaker 3: that means everyone who registers, and when you register, there's
- 30:02Speaker 3: an additional do you want to donate button that all
- 30:06Speaker 3: that money on hundred percent of it goes directly to
- 30:08Speaker 3: the charities, and those charities as we mentioned, I mean,
- 30:11Speaker 3: it's it's Purple Pantry, it's Avery's Army, and it's the schools.
- 30:15Speaker 3: They have received a ton of money and they all
- 30:17Speaker 3: reach out and they're all supporting. So they're all sending
- 30:19Speaker 3: it on their social media. If someone else wants to add,
- 30:23Speaker 3: grab the fly, share it on your social media.
- 30:25Speaker 2: We are.
- 30:25Speaker 3: We're looking for sponsors, we're looking for participants. So we

- 31:29Speaker 3: car with me. We borrow a neighbors trailer. We've got
- 31:31Speaker 3: everything loaded up the night before. We jump in the
- 31:34Speaker 3: car and we start driving, and I'll put out the
- 31:36Speaker 3: signs to say on one side it says, you know,
- 31:38Speaker 3: caution runners on road. On the other side it's tells
- 31:41Speaker 3: you how far you've run or turn around? And I
- 31:44Speaker 3: do that around the course and then we show up
- 31:46Speaker 3: at the at the Academy field where it happens, and
- 31:50Speaker 3: that's when we really get to work, putting up the tents,
- 31:53Speaker 3: getting the beers out, getting everything ready. So yeah, you've
- 31:56Speaker 3: got it in your hand. Last year you mentioned Viva.
- 31:59Speaker 3: They were a me seen Nepko. New England brewing has
- 32:02Speaker 3: always been amazing. They give us tons. They're back again
- 32:04Speaker 3: this year. Tribus is back again this year. Two Roads
- 32:07Speaker 3: is back again this year, and Knew this year is
- 32:11Speaker 3: a local brewery, Soundview beer Works, and that is Senator
- 32:17Speaker 3: James Maroney and the Milford Board of Ed Mike Smith
- 32:23Speaker 3: and another gentleman who actually knows the recipe and the
- 32:26Speaker 3: secrets behind the beer. Those three gentlemen started their own
- 32:29Speaker 3: brewery and their contract manufacturing in it.
- 32:32Speaker 2: But it's really good toasted coconut vanilla stout. That is
- 32:39Speaker 2: a phenomenal one. That's actually acohol. I'm feeling it. It's good.
- 32:43Speaker 2: It's good. The thing I love.
- 32:45Speaker 3: So their ip A is the revp and it's after
- 32:48Speaker 3: the Reverend Peter Pruden who was one of the founders.
- 32:52Speaker 3: But the label is a nautical map of Charles Island
- 32:57Speaker 3: and golf Beach and it goes all the way to
- 33:00Speaker 3: on past what is this, Welch's Point and Pond Point
- 33:03Speaker 3: and all those things. It's just cool and it's local.
- 33:05Speaker 3: It's fun, but there's not like they're bringing a bunch
- 33:08Speaker 3: of beer for us as a.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Big boat on it.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Sailboat Captain Triple S. I don't know the history behind
- 33:15Speaker 1: it and I can't.
- 33:16Speaker 3: Uh, it's small print, but Milford's Revolutionary War era. That's
- 33:24Speaker 3: cool from Captain Stephen Stowe. Hence the oh stephen Stowe.
- 33:30Speaker 3: It must be muss middle name is it has to
- 33:35Speaker 3: It was Triple S cool. But it's uh, it's good stuff.
- 33:39Speaker 3: So there's gonna be lots of good drinks. Athletic brewing
- 33:42Speaker 3: always gets involved, so alcoholic. There's always going to be
- 33:45Speaker 3: non alcoholic also. But one of the things that we
- 33:48Speaker 3: did last year, which we didn't do before, we had
- 33:51Speaker 3: these race packets, so I was telling you earlier. Instead
- 33:54Speaker 3: of having ten fifteen volunteers in my house for three
- 33:57Speaker 3: nights in a row taking a bag, putting in all
- 33:59Speaker 3: the different flyers from the different sponsors and supporters and organizations,
- 34:05Speaker 3: we put together this race packet and it's super cool.
- 34:08Speaker 3: One That is always my favorite because she's been with
- 34:11Speaker 3: us all four years and she's with us again. This
- 34:13Speaker 3: year is Scratch Baking and you bring this in and
- 34:17Speaker 3: you get a free cookie. Oh, last year was a
- 34:19Speaker 3: free coffee, or two years ago was a free.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Coffee or something like a thousand cookies. She is incredible.
- 34:24Speaker 1: I'm going to steal everyone I find on the ground
- 34:27Speaker 1: just for the coupa.
- 34:28Speaker 2: And go in.
- 34:29Speaker 3: But I mean, there's amazing coupon's in there. All our
- 34:31Speaker 3: sponsors do something great last year. Yeah, yeah, is this
- 34:34Speaker 3: cookie and mine still valid? I believe so I'm believing
- 34:38Speaker 3: it after.
- 34:39Speaker 2: He going down there again.
- 34:40Speaker 3: But how can you go to Scratch and just get
- 34:41Speaker 3: a cookie or any of the other right, and how
- 34:44Speaker 3: do you look at all the other sponsors that are
- 34:46Speaker 3: in there. There's awesome calls to action, but it's also
- 34:48Speaker 3: great to see the community support.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Because her place is so good that she doesn't even
- 34:52Speaker 1: need to put with purchase exactly.
- 34:55Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Right, you're going to go
- 34:56Speaker 2: in there and I but she's going to knock it out.
- 34:59Speaker 3: That was a she had or designer do that just
- 35:01Speaker 3: for the race packet, which is super cool, and so
- 35:04Speaker 3: did a lot of other people in there. So if
- 35:06Speaker 3: you want a sponsor and get in the packet, that's easy.
- 35:08Speaker 3: If you just want to participate and get something, the
- 35:11Speaker 3: cost of the shirt, the packet, the goodies you get,
- 35:14Speaker 3: the beer, you get, the fact that you're listening to
- 35:17Speaker 3: and watching the rum Runners live like all of it
- 35:19Speaker 3: is way more than the twenty.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Four dollars and drinking like beers.
- 35:24Speaker 3: But the reason it works is because absolutely everything is
- 35:27Speaker 3: paid for by the sponsors, and everything is donated. Like
- 35:31Speaker 3: I think I was telling you earlier, we've got laser
- 35:33Speaker 3: tag for the kids.
- 35:35Speaker 2: He donates that it's his company and he thinks it's
- 35:38Speaker 2: such a fun event. He just comes up and donates it.
- 35:40Speaker 3: And he had his kids work with him because he
- 35:42Speaker 3: needs a crew to put together all the inflatables obstacles.
- 35:46Speaker 3: And I got so many emails and calls from people
- 35:49Speaker 3: that were saying that the laser tag was the highlight
- 35:52Speaker 3: of the trot, and.
- 35:52Speaker 2: I said, well what about the trot? Oh yeah, the
- 35:55Speaker 2: kids to take care about you ron.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Yeah, we made the one mile, but we didn't even
- 35:59Speaker 3: make the full We ran back and we started playing
- 36:02Speaker 3: and last year, because the weather was so bad, I'd
- 36:04Speaker 3: email all the participants and I said, hey, if anyone
- 36:07Speaker 3: has a pop up tent, I need it, so please
- 36:09Speaker 3: bring it to my house, bring it to the event,
- 36:11Speaker 3: do what you can. And because so many people in
- 36:14Speaker 3: the community again Great Milford community brought tents. The entire
- 36:18Speaker 3: laser tag area, which is these electronics that can't be
- 36:21Speaker 3: in the rain, were covered with ten by ten tenths
- 36:24Speaker 3: and it was this cool little compound. It made it
- 36:26Speaker 3: feel even more intimate as the kids were running around.
- 36:29Speaker 2: And shooting each other.
- 36:29Speaker 3: So and the raffles, the raffle, we raffles. There's donations
- 36:33Speaker 3: and raffles. That's always fun. There's there's one family I
- 36:37Speaker 3: think that's one one of the TV's last three years
- 36:40Speaker 3: in a row, and I joke with them because they
- 36:42Speaker 3: just live around the corner. It's not rigged. I don't
- 36:44Speaker 3: even pull it myself. But he comes up to me.
- 36:47Speaker 3: He's like, I'm sure we're going to get a TV again,
- 36:48Speaker 3: and he did and it was great. But there's huge TVs.
- 36:52Speaker 3: There's always Alexis stuff, there's always restaurant coupons and cars.
- 36:56Speaker 2: And again with the weather beed so fucked.
- 36:59Speaker 1: I felt so bad because it was so fucking windy
- 37:03Speaker 1: like the they had. Like, you know, I'm like a
- 37:06Speaker 1: raffle guru when it comes to like I know how
- 37:08Speaker 1: to set them up.
- 37:09Speaker 2: I know how to run them.
- 37:09Speaker 1: It's been doing it forever, and I I feel like
- 37:12Speaker 1: some of these volunteers, I'm not saying they didn't know
- 37:15Speaker 1: what they were doing, but the weather just threw this
- 37:18Speaker 1: wrench into like trying to the wind.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Yeah, the wind was blowing the buckets over. Oh it
- 37:24Speaker 2: was awful. I felt so bad for him, but.
- 37:26Speaker 1: But they pulled it off. It was a great, great raffle,
- 37:28Speaker 1: great day, great time. I I I'm gonna be there whatever.
- 37:35Speaker 1: I'll skip the first half of the kid's game. He's
- 37:37Speaker 1: not even gonna play, sorry Braden, but I'm definitely gonna
- 37:40Speaker 1: be there.
- 37:41Speaker 3: But it starts early and you can you can make it.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, especially if for not cooking
- 37:45Speaker 1: at home, which go out and.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Take a shower, you know, and go back out. Uh.
- 37:51Speaker 2: It was one more thing I wanted to bring up. Oh,
- 37:54Speaker 2: we are in the heart of political season. Oh geez,
- 37:58Speaker 2: we are in.
- 37:58Speaker 1: The heart of everyone's got to have a fucking red
- 38:01Speaker 1: or blue political sign on their front yard or three
- 38:05Speaker 1: or four seven, like like, yeah, like that's really gonna
- 38:09Speaker 1: influence me how I'm gonna fucking vote. Uh, but if
- 38:13Speaker 1: you want to ditch all that bullshit tour has I
- 38:18Speaker 1: put it out in my front yard last year.
- 38:19Speaker 2: I'm not doing any political signs.
- 38:21Speaker 1: I think everyone that listens the show knows the Wabba
- 38:22Speaker 1: line with and it's not gonna change me one way
- 38:25Speaker 1: or another.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Uh. They have Milford Turkey trot yard signs. We do,
- 38:30Speaker 2: and you have a bunch. I've got sixty in my
- 38:34Speaker 2: trunk right now. I just already have mine.
- 38:36Speaker 1: It's the same one every year, so you can save it.
- 38:38Speaker 1: If you get one, save it, put in your garage
- 38:40Speaker 1: and put it back out. I think I'm gonna put
- 38:43Speaker 1: mine out. Uh probably probably this Sunday.
- 38:45Speaker 3: So the first ones went out. Uh when did it
- 38:49Speaker 3: stop raining?
- 38:50Speaker 2: Was that Tuesday? Tuesday?
- 38:53Speaker 3: So I think I walked to the bus stop with
- 38:55Speaker 3: the kids and I had one of those little yard
- 38:58Speaker 3: carts y yeah, and I was sticking them in the
- 38:59Speaker 3: neighbors yards as I walked out in the same neighbors.
- 39:02Speaker 2: I put the lights on. I was sticking them into.
- 39:04Speaker 3: The yards as I walk down to the bus stop,
- 39:06Speaker 3: and I put one in the bus stop. I put
- 39:07Speaker 3: one across the street. So the first twenty five are out,
- 39:10Speaker 3: but it's going to come out in full force, and
- 39:12Speaker 3: if anyone wants one, you don't have to pay for them.
- 39:14Speaker 3: It's not like a political thing where you make a
- 39:16Speaker 3: donation and you get one.
- 39:17Speaker 2: Wherever that is.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Just go to www dot Milford Turkey trot dot com
- 39:22Speaker 3: and click on the contact us or even when you register,
- 39:25Speaker 3: there's an option to say I would like a yard sign,
- 39:28Speaker 3: and you click that box when you register. So they're amazing,
- 39:32Speaker 3: They're fun and it gets away from the stress of
- 39:36Speaker 3: are you blue, are you red?
- 39:38Speaker 2: Are you this? Or are you that.
- 39:40Speaker 3: I don't like competing with that, and I'm a little
- 39:42Speaker 3: nervous when people put a sign up and then they
- 39:44Speaker 3: have the seven blues, or one across the street puts
- 39:47Speaker 3: one up and has a seven reds.
- 39:49Speaker 2: And we're not associated any way politically. We're all about
- 39:52Speaker 2: getting money to the community.
- 39:54Speaker 1: But you know what, though, I have a lot of
- 39:55Speaker 1: turkeys in my neighborhood, so this year we had the
- 39:58Speaker 1: baby ones.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Bring I'm over, Well, here's my thing.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Are they going to be like one of those crazy
- 40:04Speaker 1: fucking leftists that's going to like rip the Trump sign
- 40:07Speaker 1: out of my yard. I mean, these turkeys know what
- 40:09Speaker 1: goes on on this day, right, They're all gonna like
- 40:14Speaker 1: jump on it and drag it out of here.
- 40:16Speaker 3: No, no, I think I think the yard signs are awesome, man, No,
- 40:22Speaker 3: it's super fun.
- 40:23Speaker 2: I love having mine out last year.
- 40:25Speaker 1: I mean I had had a yard in a while,
- 40:26Speaker 1: and I was a living condos for six years before that,
- 40:29Speaker 1: and so now it's it's nice putting it out there.
- 40:31Speaker 2: It's good. Yeah.
- 40:33Speaker 1: So obviously it's Thanksgiving. What's the data Thanksgiving? I mean
- 40:36Speaker 1: was late this year? It is late late, but yeah,
- 40:40Speaker 1: I think it's I don't know. I think next year
- 40:42Speaker 1: goes a little bit later and then it jumps back again.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Yeah, like twenty eighth is probably the latest that could be, right. Yeah,
- 40:47Speaker 2: so what's the last Thursday of the month. It is? Yeah,
- 40:50Speaker 2: so it's the last Thursday. So this one is is
- 40:53Speaker 2: good because it gives us a little bit more time
- 40:54Speaker 2: to plan. We always need more time. Of course, never
- 40:57Speaker 2: enough time, never enough time. It always works out.
- 41:00Speaker 3: Well.
- 41:00Speaker 2: I'm obviously gonna try to make sure Viva got you
- 41:03Speaker 2: some cases. I'm not even worried. They'll do that, and
- 41:06Speaker 2: we'll work that out.
- 41:09Speaker 1: So I did a football show beginning of the year,
- 41:15Speaker 1: like a little preview before the season, yeah, before like
- 41:17Speaker 1: right before the season, all right, and I predicted that
- 41:22Speaker 1: the Patriots would go thirteen and four, And yeah, obviously
- 41:27Speaker 1: I was brutally laughed at Patriots suck and ha ha ha.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Of course they lose Week one to the Raiders and
- 41:36Speaker 2: the Raiders are garbage, and I'm like, fuck now, was
- 41:40Speaker 2: I lofty in my goal?
- 41:42Speaker 1: Of course you have to be positive, right, Do I
- 41:45Speaker 1: still think they're going to thirteen and four? No, but
- 41:48Speaker 1: I'm telling you what, twelve and five is on the table.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Eleven and six is on the table, and fuck it.
- 41:56Speaker 1: They literally if you go down the schedule now, the
- 42:00Speaker 1: way they've been playing and they're starting to get more confidence,
- 42:04Speaker 1: their quarterback looks like they're legit guys coming together. The
- 42:07Speaker 1: trade deadline's coming. They can always add another receiver, a lineman,
- 42:11Speaker 1: a lineback or whatever. Thirteen and four. I gotta stick
- 42:16Speaker 1: with it now because if that hits, I mean, I'm
- 42:20Speaker 1: I might as well just.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Retire your money. Yeah, Unfortunately, didn't have any confidence behind it.
- 42:25Speaker 3: Put some money down, uh, or did you? Well?
- 42:29Speaker 2: No?
- 42:29Speaker 1: Not.
- 42:29Speaker 2: On thirteen and four. No, I did a future one
- 42:33Speaker 2: hundred dollars bet on then winning the Super Bowl.
- 42:35Speaker 1: But that's I mean, with Kansas City just getting no
- 42:38Speaker 1: penalties called against them in games, it's just.
- 42:40Speaker 2: Not gonna rampen. But what is up with that, dude.
- 42:45Speaker 2: It's just it's.
- 42:48Speaker 3: And Kelsey putting the ball on the ground and they
- 42:51Speaker 3: calling it a catch, and I just.
- 42:55Speaker 1: It's hard for me to complain because I had Tom
- 42:57Speaker 1: Brady for so many years. Yeah, and I even felt
- 43:02Speaker 1: towards the end like, well he didn't really you know,
- 43:04Speaker 1: I wasn't rough in the passer or whatever. You know,
- 43:06Speaker 1: Like I get like the you know to Jordan rules.
- 43:09Speaker 1: You know, it's j Jordan rules. You get close to him,
- 43:11Speaker 1: it's a penalty.
- 43:12Speaker 2: You know.
- 43:12Speaker 1: The greatest guys they want to make sure are in
- 43:15Speaker 1: the biggest games.
- 43:16Speaker 2: That's just it's a business. These are businesses at the
- 43:19Speaker 2: end of the day.
- 43:20Speaker 1: But this whole thing with the Chiefs is just becoming.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Absurd at this point.
- 43:27Speaker 1: It's just like, all right, we get it, Like you
- 43:29Speaker 1: want him in the super Bowl every year for whatever reason.
- 43:31Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know why.
- 43:33Speaker 3: The whole New Democrats, yeah, swifties, Yeah, but like you
- 43:37Speaker 3: got you know, Josh Allen of Buffalo starving for a
- 43:39Speaker 3: Super Bowl and he's.
- 43:40Speaker 2: A great guy and a great guy to get behind.
- 43:42Speaker 1: And Lamar Jackson and Baltimore who's who's so dynamic as
- 43:46Speaker 1: a quarterback, and you know, and then out you know,
- 43:48Speaker 1: obviously Philly won last year, but there's a lot of
- 43:52Speaker 1: young guys that you know now Drake Mays and the
- 43:54Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams and the Jayden Daniels, and it's just I
- 43:57Speaker 1: guarantee you're gonna see a cy maybe against Detroit or
- 44:02Speaker 1: or Tampa this year.
- 44:03Speaker 2: And I'm sure Casey will win it. Like I just
- 44:05Speaker 2: you know, they're probably like, well, we can't have him
- 44:07Speaker 2: win like six in a row, so let's just lose one, right. Yeah,
- 44:11Speaker 2: that's the script NFL scripted. I don't know.
- 44:15Speaker 3: So I was in Vegas for work, which is kind
- 44:18Speaker 3: of an oxymoron, but it was great because I was there.
- 44:22Speaker 2: I got a corner. Yeah, just showing the legs. I
- 44:26Speaker 2: gotta make money somehow. Yeah, it's got to pay for
- 44:30Speaker 2: this ship. Those portal don't pay themselves. Those three port
- 44:33Speaker 2: parties really put me over the budget.
- 44:35Speaker 3: Yeah, and I showed up on a Monday and it
- 44:38Speaker 3: was the Monday the Vikings played the Bears and it
- 44:41Speaker 3: was JJ McCarthy. I don't know if it was his
- 44:44Speaker 3: first start or what, but real excited all for it.
- 44:48Speaker 3: And my sales guy Uh and I were hanging out
- 44:51Speaker 3: and he's like, hey, man, I'm here, like, I'm supporting you.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Here's one hundred dollars.
- 44:54Speaker 3: I put it down three hours ago Vikings to win,
- 44:57Speaker 3: and it was I don't know how the odds all work.
- 44:59Speaker 3: Everybody's gonn make eighty bucks on this hundred dollars bet. Great, cool,
- 45:02Speaker 3: their favorite, They've got all the weapons they need.
- 45:04Speaker 2: Awesome.
- 45:05Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I should do that too, Like I'll
- 45:07Speaker 3: donate one hundred dollars to the local charity fund, casino whatever.
- 45:10Speaker 3: But I didn't find a book in time. The game started.
- 45:12Speaker 3: We're at an off off strip little sports bar. Turns
- 45:17Speaker 3: out it's eighty percent Bears fans, twenty percent Vikings fans,
- 45:21Speaker 3: you know, three percent who knows what, and it started
- 45:25Speaker 3: getting really ugly, like nasty. I don't know if you
- 45:27Speaker 3: saw the first half of that game, but we didn't
- 45:29Speaker 3: get a single first down, we didn't score a point,
- 45:32Speaker 3: we didn't do anything. We were fumbling we were handing
- 45:34Speaker 3: the ball to the other team. We're doing everything wrong, right.
- 45:38Speaker 3: So I end up walking and finally like leaving right
- 45:40Speaker 3: before halftime to go find a sports book because I
- 45:42Speaker 3: said I was going to donate a hundred bucks. My
- 45:44Speaker 3: sales guy already did it. I have to do it,
- 45:46Speaker 3: like I'm not. I'm not the type of guy who's
- 45:48Speaker 3: going to back down from his word just because it's
- 45:49Speaker 3: a stupid bet. I put money down, I come back
- 45:52Speaker 3: and I put the ticket down. I'm like, Tod, I'm
- 45:53Speaker 3: with you. We got you, man, We're doing this together.
- 45:56Speaker 3: We're gonna win. It's gonna be big. They come back
- 45:58Speaker 3: and win.
- 45:59Speaker 2: He gets eight dollars.
- 46:00Speaker 3: I got something like four hundred and eighty dollars. Oh shit,
- 46:02Speaker 3: nice because the timing was just so horrible to put
- 46:06Speaker 3: money on the ya yahah Yeah, the odds were waved.
- 46:08Speaker 2: But that's what it is, right.
- 46:09Speaker 3: You love a team and you go and you you fight.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Then Aaron Rodgers comes and screws.
- 46:15Speaker 2: It all up in Dublin.
- 46:17Speaker 1: I uh yeah, in two thousand and one, I was
- 46:19Speaker 1: in Vegas, and you know, he couldn't bet around here
- 46:22Speaker 1: outside of a bookie. Uh So the pagrites were awful
- 46:25Speaker 1: the year before, and I three hundred bucks down on him,
- 46:30Speaker 1: and they won the Super Bowl and I forgot all
- 46:32Speaker 1: about the bat.
- 46:33Speaker 2: It was just sitting my wallet. Whatever.
- 46:35Speaker 1: We went to Knickerbockers at the mall. I know, you
- 46:37Speaker 1: don't know what Knickerbockers is. It's no longer there. But
- 46:41Speaker 1: it's a couple of days later and we're still celebrating
- 46:43Speaker 1: the victory and I'm like, wait a second, I fucking
- 46:46Speaker 1: put a one hundred dollars bet in. It was seventy
- 46:48Speaker 1: five to one odds. Oh nice, because they were fucking
- 46:51Speaker 1: not five and eleven the year before they were nothing.
- 46:54Speaker 1: I'm like, shit, So we fucking I already had a
- 46:56Speaker 1: Vegas trip planned, so we flew out and I went
- 46:59Speaker 1: and cashed the tip, get in a lady's like, holy shit.
- 47:01Speaker 1: I'm like, it's just it's only because I like him,
- 47:04Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's not like I fucking
- 47:05Speaker 1: thought they were gonna do a Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah,
- 47:08Speaker 1: not at all. You know, like, yeah, whatever, we I've
- 47:10Speaker 1: wasted one hundred dollars and worst ship in my life.
- 47:12Speaker 2: You know, oh exactly. That didn't have any page at all.
- 47:15Speaker 2: But it was cool. It was cool.
- 47:17Speaker 1: It's like kind of my first real big win and gambling,
- 47:19Speaker 1: you know, and I forgot I did it.
- 47:21Speaker 2: For a couple of days. But that's a good sign.
- 47:25Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good sign that you're not trying to
- 47:26Speaker 3: like buy your next meal on.
- 47:28Speaker 2: No, no, no, we wouldn't do that. So you're Vikings fan.
- 47:32Speaker 1: I got a little JJ right behind you, a little
- 47:34Speaker 1: autograph middle right above Kaitlyn Clark there. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 47:39Speaker 1: that's that's way back when well it's actually years ago.
- 47:43Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's two years ago.
- 47:45Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still in his Michigan uniform, but it's a
- 47:47Speaker 1: Minnesota card.
- 47:48Speaker 2: Oh I see, Yeah, the Vikings helmet down there. Yep.
- 47:51Speaker 1: That was the first uh first edition of that NFL draft,
- 47:57Speaker 1: the set of cards that came out.
- 47:58Speaker 2: I plucked plucked it out of the fucking box. I
- 48:01Speaker 2: was like Jjah, And.
- 48:02Speaker 1: Of course he gets hurt the whole first year. Now
- 48:04Speaker 1: he's hurt again. Is he coming back soon?
- 48:06Speaker 3: You're talking to the wrong man. I've drafted him both
- 48:08Speaker 3: years even, but he's even coming back soon. He's not
- 48:11Speaker 3: out the year, right, It's it always goes questionable to
- 48:15Speaker 3: outed him last year. Yeah, So I am in three teams,
- 48:20Speaker 3: three leagues. Two of my three team names are Purple
- 48:25Speaker 3: People Leaders. One of them is Tours Purple People Leaders.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Okay, I mean now, do you like the Vikings because
- 48:32Speaker 1: you're like Scandinavian?
- 48:34Speaker 2: Yeah, because I am a Viking. Yeah, like come on
- 48:37Speaker 2: the do you go? Who you want to cruise? You're
- 48:39Speaker 2: going back? It's a blonde hair and uh no, do something.
- 48:45Speaker 3: I started losing my hair, so I figured I'm just
- 48:47Speaker 3: not gonna cut it.
- 48:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:50Speaker 3: Yeah, So like you know Nick Cage, how he's got
- 48:53Speaker 3: like the island of forehead. I started to see that
- 48:56Speaker 3: because normally I'm like, you know, buzz eight and two yeah,
- 49:00Speaker 3: like eight on top to the side, and I.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Started seeing this Nick Cage spot pop.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Up, like oh no, this is gets ah and I got.
- 49:08Speaker 2: I gotta do something. I just decided not to get
- 49:10Speaker 2: a haircut for three months, So yeah, that's going to
- 49:13Speaker 2: start looking wacky though it already does. Don't worry. You
- 49:17Speaker 2: got out of the car the parking lot, like, oh
- 49:18Speaker 2: look at this guy. It's kind of like a California
- 49:21Speaker 2: surfer dude. To get back. Something wrong with that? From
- 49:23Speaker 2: when I was out there, nothing wrong with it. There
- 49:25Speaker 2: really isn't. But no.
- 49:28Speaker 3: I yeah, yeah, no, I mean he's not playing.
- 49:32Speaker 1: I know.
- 49:33Speaker 3: I drafted him when he was on the IR for
- 49:35Speaker 3: the season. I did because it was.
- 49:39Speaker 2: It was just a sentimental thing. It was like the.
- 49:41Speaker 3: Tenth or eleventh or twelfth or something at the very end,
- 49:44Speaker 3: and I told everyone I was going JJ all the way,
- 49:48Speaker 3: you know, because there's two of them.
- 49:50Speaker 2: There's Justin Jefferson and the quarterback.
- 49:53Speaker 3: So like I said, I'm getting I'm getting both JJ's
- 49:56Speaker 3: and they're like, yeah, you're what.
- 49:59Speaker 2: And I had to it.
- 50:00Speaker 1: It was one of those you're the guy that fantasy
- 50:02Speaker 1: players love to play against.
- 50:03Speaker 3: And you know what's great, you won three out of
- 50:06Speaker 3: the last four seasons.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Oh nice, at least in one of the neighbors. Who
- 50:10Speaker 2: was your real quarterback that year? Sure? Well, I had
- 50:13Speaker 2: Hurts for a bit. That was one year one of
- 50:17Speaker 2: my teams. He's awful.
- 50:19Speaker 3: Well, it's great because a touch push, Yeah, you're guaranteed
- 50:21Speaker 3: at least one touchdown.
- 50:22Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a rushing touchdown.
- 50:26Speaker 1: Right.
- 50:26Speaker 2: Different leagues do it differently, some having touchdowns only four points. Yeah.
- 50:30Speaker 2: I don't follow it all perfectly, but it's fun.
- 50:33Speaker 3: It's fun. And the one year I didn't win in
- 50:36Speaker 3: the neighborhood league. It was to the lady across the
- 50:38Speaker 3: street from me, and her team name was you just
- 50:40Speaker 3: lost to a girl, which is great.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Nice man, Oh man, I'm doing all right.
- 50:46Speaker 2: One league, I'm already out of.
- 50:48Speaker 1: I'm like one of the I'm in three leagues. I'm
- 50:49Speaker 1: like one of five, and then four and two and
- 50:53Speaker 1: four and two. I think, like whatever, it's it's it's injuries.
- 50:56Speaker 1: It's the one league of one in five is They
- 50:57Speaker 1: drafted at nine thirty at night online and I know,
- 51:00Speaker 1: I was yeah, and they gave me four quarterbacks.
- 51:04Speaker 2: Nice. Yeah, yeah, it was great.
- 51:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Gino Smith, fucking it was awful, justin fields.
- 51:10Speaker 3: And uh and uh Russell Wilson. I'm sure, yeah it was.
- 51:14Speaker 2: I mean I I drafted Uh.
- 51:17Speaker 1: I drafted the first few rounds because I was, you know,
- 51:19Speaker 1: like fuck I it goes quick, but there's like sixteen teams,
- 51:22Speaker 1: so it's so watered down, and I'm like, fuck it,
- 51:25Speaker 1: I'm just drafting Drake May And I hung my phone
- 51:27Speaker 1: up and I went to bed and I want him
- 51:29Speaker 1: next morning, and then Auto drafted me three more fucking quarterbacks.
- 51:32Speaker 3: In that case, the first three drafts are the first
- 51:35Speaker 3: three picks are critical because.
- 51:36Speaker 1: After that it's yeah, yeah, crapshoot, especially with that many
- 51:38Speaker 1: teams here just so spined down ahead.
- 51:42Speaker 2: So what's it?
- 51:42Speaker 3: What's a score? Are you looking at? Like one hundred
- 51:45Speaker 3: and ten is going to win a game? Oh yeah,
- 51:47Speaker 3: eighty jesus see, I mean you're my you know, especially
- 51:50Speaker 3: when the buys hit. When the buys hit, like you
- 51:53Speaker 3: literally try to go to the waiver wire and the
- 51:54Speaker 3: guy you pick up has one projected.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Point I had.
- 51:59Speaker 3: I had one hundred forty last week in one of
- 52:01Speaker 3: the leagues, and I lost to a guy who's one
- 52:03Speaker 3: hundred and eighty.
- 52:04Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's so wacky. This is insane.
- 52:06Speaker 1: It's so wacky, and I almost feel like that one
- 52:08Speaker 1: o'clock window determines the whole fucking day because I'll just
- 52:13Speaker 1: like see the ticker going or watch the fucking whatever,
- 52:15Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh fuck, I'm playing against that I'm
- 52:18Speaker 1: playing against I'm playing against that guy too.
- 52:20Speaker 2: I just see the touchdowns rolling through.
- 52:21Speaker 1: I'm like, then I go to my phone, I'm like,
- 52:23Speaker 1: I'm down seventy two nine and fucking a half time
- 52:26Speaker 1: in the first players are done.
- 52:30Speaker 2: Fucking sucks, well done. Man. All right, well, let's let's
- 52:33Speaker 2: wrap this up with douche of the week. Let's go
- 52:35Speaker 2: for it. Let's hear it.
- 52:37Speaker 1: So I was off last week. This's actually happened last week,
- 52:41Speaker 1: local local douche. I don't know the woman. Uh, but
- 52:45Speaker 1: if you live in Milford and have any source of Internet,
- 52:49Speaker 1: I'm sure you heard about her, Nadine Patowitz.
- 52:52Speaker 2: I don't even fucking care if I pronounced that correctly. Uh.
- 52:55Speaker 1: She got in front of the board of aldermen and
- 52:57Speaker 1: I was actually gonna record it and play it, but
- 53:00Speaker 1: due to my good friends sitting across from me, he
- 53:02Speaker 1: doesn't need to be sucked into this dumb shit other
- 53:04Speaker 1: than me making her my douche of the week. She
- 53:09Speaker 1: went on this crazy rant about Trump voters and we're
- 53:13Speaker 1: Nazis and we're Nazi boot liquors and we deserve to
- 53:15Speaker 1: get kicked in the teeth and her family survived the
- 53:20Speaker 1: first Holocaust, she will survive this Holocaust again. I don't
- 53:24Speaker 1: know what she's talking about, and basically said that all
- 53:29Speaker 1: Milford Republicans we can pinpoint this time and Milford of
- 53:34Speaker 1: I don't remember what she said, but this is will
- 53:37Speaker 1: always be remembered for being the Nazis of Milford.
- 53:41Speaker 2: I don't even.
- 53:42Speaker 1: Fucking know, but I know fucking pretty much everyone listens
- 53:44Speaker 1: to my show has probably ever heard this.
- 53:46Speaker 2: And it's all over the internet.
- 53:47Speaker 1: And I went to lives of TikTok, all the big
- 53:50Speaker 1: conservative sights on Twitter. Because they won, they try to
- 53:53Speaker 1: find this stuff and post it like the local school
- 53:55Speaker 1: boards and then people go crazy.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Right, but.
- 54:00Speaker 1: This is like now in our hometown, Like we have
- 54:02Speaker 1: people that we lived with one way or another, far right,
- 54:05Speaker 1: far left, whatever, they actually believe this, and they believe
- 54:09Speaker 1: we're in a holocaust right now.
- 54:12Speaker 2: They believe that if you voted for Trump, you're a Nazi. Like,
- 54:16Speaker 2: when does it end? This isn't it? This is at
- 54:18Speaker 2: all the meaning. She got some booze, but she got
- 54:21Speaker 2: some like a.
- 54:22Speaker 1: Loud clap at the end.
- 54:24Speaker 2: I just don't understand it. I don't, honestly, I really
- 54:31Speaker 2: don't give a full It's rough, man, it's rough.
- 54:33Speaker 3: The politics have changed so much, I think since COVID,
- 54:37Speaker 3: and it just changed what people do and say to
- 54:41Speaker 3: the extremes on both sides, which is good. We haven't
- 54:46Speaker 3: seen a middle candidate get any traction for a decade.
- 54:52Speaker 2: I mean by longer. I know.
- 54:55Speaker 3: I don't even know, but it's so disappointing because there's
- 54:58Speaker 3: things on both sides that are correct in my personal opinion,
- 55:01Speaker 3: but you don't have that option, and they don't have
- 55:05Speaker 3: an option as politicians. They have to appease the extremes
- 55:09Speaker 3: to beat out the one who's more in the middle,
- 55:11Speaker 3: because we have this silly two party system.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's I think it's become a
- 55:18Speaker 1: thing where the more you say it, the more people
- 55:22Speaker 1: believe it, whether how outrageous it is. Like, can you
- 55:27Speaker 1: go to anyone if we walk down downtown Milford or
- 55:29Speaker 1: walk to the Connecticut Post mall right now and with
- 55:32Speaker 1: a microphone and a camera, and we went up to
- 55:34Speaker 1: people and we asked them, is there a Holocaust going
- 55:37Speaker 1: on right now? I'm pretty sure one hundred percent will
- 55:41Speaker 1: say no, Like, how are you defining the current Holocaust?
- 55:47Speaker 1: You can't. If you feel there's a holocaust going on,
- 55:49Speaker 1: you have to at least quantify it to the one
- 55:53Speaker 1: that happened to the Jews from the Germans. You know,
- 55:56Speaker 1: you can't just throw it out there, call us nazis
- 56:00Speaker 1: not you?
- 56:00Speaker 2: I you know, this is me and and just sit.
- 56:04Speaker 1: There and say it without any repercussions, and then I
- 56:07Speaker 1: say something and you try to cancel me. Like I think,
- 56:11Speaker 1: the one thing about the left and the right is
- 56:15Speaker 1: I feel the left feels they can say whatever the
- 56:17Speaker 1: fuck they want without being canceled, and the right we
- 56:21Speaker 1: shy away from saying whatever we want because we feel
- 56:24Speaker 1: we will get canceled. And that's a hard thing to
- 56:29Speaker 1: juggle because when does it, When does the tide turn,
- 56:33Speaker 1: or when does it end?
- 56:34Speaker 2: When is it? Like when are they going to start
- 56:38Speaker 2: getting canceled?
- 56:39Speaker 1: And you could point to something, sure, but like Jimmy
- 56:41Speaker 1: Kimmel gets canceled for five days and it's like, oh
- 56:44Speaker 1: my god.
- 56:44Speaker 2: Free speech is gone. Had nothing to do with it,
- 56:47Speaker 2: you know, because.
- 56:47Speaker 1: Trump said something about it. They all thought he cancel.
- 56:50Speaker 1: He didn't cancel him. Truy had nothing to do with it.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Fucking read the tea leaves people. The fucking show sucks.
- 56:58Speaker 1: His highest ratings were when he came act for that
- 57:00Speaker 1: first half of that show to talk about why he
- 57:02Speaker 1: got canceled, and then they fucking been down and drained since.
- 57:06Speaker 1: Just like Jimmy Goldber or Steved Goldbert and all the
- 57:08Speaker 1: other late night shows.
- 57:09Speaker 2: It's just one late night. It's a dying breed. Just
- 57:12Speaker 2: I'm not up for it.
- 57:13Speaker 1: I mean, I mean literally if Johnny Carson's probably rolling
- 57:16Speaker 1: over his grave seeing how these shows do it.
- 57:18Speaker 2: Like Johnny Carson was one of the guys.
- 57:20Speaker 1: He never talked politics for a fucking reason. Like Saturday
- 57:24Speaker 1: Night Live has gone off that deep end. They're just
- 57:26Speaker 1: it's it, just attack the right, just do it. Like
- 57:30Speaker 1: I don't really care anymore because I don't watch it
- 57:33Speaker 1: going but but I'm I am on Twitter, and I
- 57:36Speaker 1: you know, I see, you know, they talk about what
- 57:39Speaker 1: was said last night, or they do this and that,
- 57:41Speaker 1: and uh, you know, to see this in Milford, like
- 57:45Speaker 1: you know, it's usually something in Nebraska or you know,
- 57:47Speaker 1: somewhere I'm not near, but it aren't my hometown, and
- 57:50Speaker 1: wast not my hometown. But I've been here a long time,
- 57:52Speaker 1: my town of Milford. To see someone that has the
- 57:56Speaker 1: opinions and allowed to platform them at a pub hearing
- 58:00Speaker 1: for as long as she did. Now, what I showed
- 58:02Speaker 1: you was just two minutes. She went on for like fifteen,
- 58:06Speaker 1: and I guess you would get your time. And but
- 58:09Speaker 1: at some point, you know, you can't go up there
- 58:11Speaker 1: and just say I am. I want to rake children,
- 58:14Speaker 1: Like there's a point where you have to say, all right,
- 58:16Speaker 1: we've hard enough. You know it's a filbuster man. Yeah,
- 58:21Speaker 1: I had a feting.
- 58:23Speaker 2: Before you vote, before you confirm the guy.
- 58:25Speaker 3: But it's it's crazy because it happens, and there's extremes, man,
- 58:32Speaker 3: and it's it's something you can't avoid. And there's always
- 58:34Speaker 3: people that are going to be ridiculous. There's always people
- 58:37Speaker 3: that are going to be insane and crazy, and you
- 58:40Speaker 3: just got to find a way to navigate around it.
- 58:42Speaker 2: And becausepin is on the Board of Education.
- 58:45Speaker 3: I can't I can't believe that you're still on all
- 58:48Speaker 3: those social media platforms.
- 58:49Speaker 2: I had to.
- 58:50Speaker 1: I had to cancel them for myself. Whatever term you
- 58:52Speaker 1: went is the only reason I'm never on Instagram except
- 58:56Speaker 1: to post this show. I post this show on face Book.
- 59:00Speaker 1: I do not post my show on Twitter. The only
- 59:02Speaker 1: reason why I'm on Twitter because I put myself in
- 59:05Speaker 1: my own echo chamber and I follow the people that
- 59:08Speaker 1: I want to follow. Unfortunately, with Twitter, you start scrolling,
- 59:12Speaker 1: you don't realize it switched from for you to suggest it,
- 59:17Speaker 1: and then I'm like, how the fuck is Keith Oberman
- 59:19Speaker 1: on my fucking Twitter feed right now, it's lost. It's mine,
- 59:22Speaker 1: you know, like whatever, But I agree, the day this
- 59:26Speaker 1: show ends is the day I get off social media.
- 59:28Speaker 1: It's the only way I can really promote it.
- 59:30Speaker 2: You know, you have to, Yeah, I don't. Yah, you
- 59:32Speaker 2: don't have to. I told you.
- 59:33Speaker 3: The only reason I ever use anything is if I'm
- 59:36Speaker 3: going on a Facebook marketplace because.
- 59:38Speaker 2: I love good deals. Really tell you bout your house, right,
- 59:41Speaker 2: I wish, I wish. I wish me too.
- 59:43Speaker 3: No, but but I did buy it a perfect time.
- 59:46Speaker 2: I didn't. But yeah, it's just it just was.
- 59:49Speaker 3: A conscious decision to say, I don't want to be
- 59:52Speaker 3: angry anymore. Like I like to be happy. I like
- 59:55Speaker 3: to be positive and anything news related. This is ridiculous
- 59:59Speaker 3: because it started with when I was in California. My
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: wife loves Good Morning America. We wouldn't even watch it
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: in the morning. That's what she would fall asleep too,
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: because it was like stored on Hulu or something, and
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: she would fall asleep in the first ten minutes because
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: she could. And I'd sit there and I'd watch the
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: fucking two hour episode of Good Morning America from fifteen
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: hours ago, and then finally I'd put on an episode
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: of some stupid comedy cartoon and I'd finally pass out
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: in ten seconds like she did two hours ago. But
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: I decided I'm not watching any news, Like I'm not
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: thumbs uping or thumbs downing anything. I'm just not having
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: social media because I want to be happy. And regardless
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: of what side you're on, if you watch news, you'll
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: be pissed because just like the politicians, we don't everyone
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: in the middle, news are only going to get clicks
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: and likes if they go to the extreme. So regardless,
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: I just choose not to.
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: So I'm in Like a just started.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: A friend of mine, big big Bible guy, big big
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: religious guy, I'm not, but invited me to a men's group,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: a great six of us.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: We go to his house, cooks dinner is great thing
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: every other Monday. Yeah, so we just did this past Monday.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: And you know, he's obviously very well versed in his
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: beliefs and all that, and I'm you know, I said,
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: I'm more. You know, when I grew up, I was
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: more of science, believes in science over religion, and I
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: feel as I get older, some of my beliefs are
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: leaving science and going to faith. But I'm not going
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: to church or anything. It's just what's going on in
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: my own head. And I'm sure Dave will listened to this,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: but we were we got on the topic of he
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: loves to watch Fox News because Fox News is unabated
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: on what they talk about when it comes to God, Jesus, religion,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: and he loves that. And they have commercials you know
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: about you know, religious apps, and they have Mark Wahlberg
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. And I just looked at him.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: I said, do you understand that's by design? That is
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: not something that they created on their own. They don't
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: have it's not organic. And he and you know, he agreed.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: He's like, oh, you just didn't think of it that way.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: I see your point.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: They're businesses and when COVID hit and really divided the
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: world in their own echo chambers, what happened is is
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: Fox made a business decision, as did MSNBC and CNN two.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: All right, we really got to focus in.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: On who what our demographic is, and on the right,
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: there are a lot of Christians, and that's what they did.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the people that talk about it
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: don't agree with it. You know, but are they really
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: that faithful and not believing in God? Or they just
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: told to say it just to keep their audience on track.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: So I don't know. It's it's weird, but it's an
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: interesting conversation. I have every and I've never been part
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: of a you know you call them.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: There's only six of us, but you know, we start
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: the night out eating dinner, talking sports, and then we
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: for an hour and a half we talk about you know, religion,
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: faith and we watched this is called Alpha and oh
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: it's it's good. It's not my biggest cup of tea,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: but it gets us all together. And I met two
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: guys that I didn't know before, and they're really nice guys.
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: And what it does is it introduces you to different opinions,
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: different perspectives.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: And that's one of the biggest things. I mean, yeah,
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: like you mentioned their businesses and they get you pigeonholed,
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: and then you hear the same thing eight times.
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: Now you think it's real. Yeah, that's both sides.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: Like I said, it's just I always have that cynic
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: mind when I watch.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: TV, like, well, there's a reason behind that, you know.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: I love that the NFL ads Now I think it's
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: Uber eats. Actually it's it's an Uber eats ad. They
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: say the NFL was created to sell food.
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: Yeah, they show all these different things, and you know what,
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: that's not that far off and it's not it's not
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: think about what the goal is of these teams.
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: It's to sell tickets and food and beer and memorabilia.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: And I love how people are like exposing that as
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: their core ad.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: It is business.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: I think it's a you know, there there's been a
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: lot of of over the years, whether it was politics
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: or commercials or companies corporations that they had some smart
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: person in that room. It's like just embrace it, like, embrace,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: embrace the conspiracy. Just be like, yeah, of course we
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: of course we're.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: Here because we want to sell food. Well, you know these.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: Guys are paid US millions of dollars to run their commercials.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Yeah, order wings from Buffalo.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: Wild, you know what I mean, Like, oh ship, Yeah,
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: we already know it's true.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: So let's admit to.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: Just copy the government fifty one or whatever, like, yeah, conspiracy,
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: you can't get in, Like we're gonna build a fence
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: once they think there's aliens in there.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: Yeah, there probably are. Ye, No, we're just testing. Yeah whatever.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's it's a smart it's you
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: know that. I've had a couple of guys that are
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: in on this show that are in you know, we're
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: commercial guys and stuff, and some of the actually we
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: had better conversations off air of really how they come
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: up with these commercials and and go to their demographics
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: and and you know, like one of them was about
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: when but Light had their whole thing with the trans lady,
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: right and they just tanked and he had used to
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: work for Mike's hard lemonade. This guy that was on
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: the show, and he told me, he's like, you know,
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: it's funny, He's like, that whole trans thing wasn't wasn't
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: a national ad campaign. It just happened that this girl
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: guy whatever was on Twitter and she was excited when
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: she got her cans with her face on it, Dylan
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: Ulvaney whatever, the guy's name is, girl whatever, and it
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: you know, when anything gets on Twitter, it circulates quickly.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: Was a regional thing, yeah, right, it was just small, small, small,
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: small decision.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: It wasn't bud like corporate, no, and it just blew
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: up in their faces.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: And I'm sure there were a lot of heads that
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: rolled and spinned and people got fired. But this gentleman
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: explains of me, he said, he said, listen, when I
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: worked for Mike's Hard Lemonade, we had our some of
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: our targets were gay and lesbian nightclubs, and we would
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: make posters with gay and lesbian people on them, and
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: we would flutter them, you know in these clubs. Like
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: that's kind of what this is like if people like,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: do you think like a you know, a gay night
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: club doesn't have bud light signs hanging up hell not Like, No,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: they're they're they're going after every market they can go after.
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: It's a business.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: It's exactly so like, don't take like that was probably
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: the wrong person to choose, not realizing you put her
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: face on a can, she's gonna fucking sit in her
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: back up and run with it, you know, and try
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: to make a national That was the mistake that.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: Was made there. But it's not really a mistake.
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: It's just an outcome well because that same mistake, and
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: I think in many regions.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think it is a mistake.
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: I don't think they did enough research on who Dila
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: mulvaney is and what they would do, what she would
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: do if she got the sponsorship, Like like you like
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: I almost feel you have to, like, what's the worst
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: case scenario if we pick this person over.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: Let's say this person.
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: So now you're talking about laws, because laws are based
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: around the bottom ten percent. Why is it that at
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: two in the morning, I can't go through a red
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: light when I'm sitting there for five minutes waiting for
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: it to turn green because the bottom ten percent is
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: too stupid to make a smart, educated decision to win
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: or when not to go through that red light. So
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: now it's a law for everybody. That's my opinion law
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: maybe maybe I don't know. It's just anyone could have
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: light in the morning, anyone could have fucked up. Well,
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: thank god in Milford they blink yellow in the morning.
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: If you don't know, move into Milford, awesome community and
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: our lights blink yellow at least. What is that Cherry
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: Street that I'm talking about?
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: Because I'll get a cherry right here, I'll get.
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: Off ninety five and I'll come down Cherry. They're all like,
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: turn down golf from home. It's beautiful. I don't I
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: don't have a red light to deal with But that's
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: when I'm laying I.
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: Just I just think, you know, like if you're a
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: CEO of a company like that, like I don't think
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: you could ever.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: Saw that coming.
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: No, And the CEO is five thousand layers away from
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: that regional marketing in turns decision. But it's interesting that
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: your Mike's hard guy got the same story because I
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: also heard similar how that was not a corporate decision,
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: that wasn't even a regional decision. That was like a
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: small special event decision.
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: But it was devastating. Oh still still hurts some to
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: this day. Majorly. I saw the effects right at Stonebridge.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: Yeah, we have our little rolling tub and it used
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: to be two rows of bud light and then you know,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: this is right when the Seltzers were really picking off
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: the high.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: Noons and the white Claws and whatever. It wasn't even surfs.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: I wasn't even around yet, and we had so that
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: was April fools of what three years ago, and we
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: had already had like twenty cases in stock at the time,
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: and that was April first.
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: And now the beer got all.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: We basically we didn't reorder till like July.
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: Stone Bridge.
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: Now this is interesting. I don't know the demographics. I'm
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: not a I love beer, but I'm not a guy.
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: What is the clientele. It's ordering a bud light versus
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: a revpe here or what you had for the triple sale,
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: or a Nebco or a two Roads or some kind
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: of local crew. Because age never in my life ordered
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: bud light a Miller light.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: Yeah you did when you were younger. No, it was
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: green Belt because that was Minnesota. Oh yeah, no one
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: even knows about it. No, it was cos effective. Let
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: me you get a case.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: It's a heavy duty cardboard case. You get twenty four bottles.
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: This is years ago. And then if you put the
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: empty clear bottles back, you got said the case on
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: those right.
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: If you put the.
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: The bottles back in said case and return them, you
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: get ten dollars back.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: Ten dollars.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: So you under spend like fourteen dollars for twenty four
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: bottles beer. You were rolling high if you're drinking forty.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: It's a bottle you got returned.
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: It was amazing. No, I think the case. I think
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: the cardboard case head value.
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: Oh the head vilium because it's heavy duty one. It
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: was not reusable. It would it would fold open?
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: Yeah, so like and yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: super fancy.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: But anyways, now I think my quick answer is stuff
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: like this. You know, there was a boom. I remember
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: there was an early boom when like Sam Adams came out,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: but the real like craft beer boom is probably fifteen
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: years in its height. I would guess fifteen years ago
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: there wasn't a brewery in Milford, you know, Connecticut only
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: had like twelve and now there's you know, now now
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: I feel it is going unfortunately the opposite way. I
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: think the only way to really survive is to have
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: your own beer garden and be a bar, you know,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: and hopefully you make some money distributing it. But you know,
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: that's unfortunately the way.
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: But I think the bud light drinkers are the older
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: guys that you know, the bud drinkers, the bud light
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: of the micultra.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: I just it's just that it's a demographic thing. You know.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: The young kids are or you know, at least a Stonebridge,
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: you're not drinking that. Well, they're not even drinking. No,
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: well that too, they're not drinking. That's a new thing. Yeah,
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: gen Z doesn't they they don't. They don't even go out.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: They don't. They run, They date their phone, they run,
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: they join Turkey trots. Yeah, well, well you got to
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: get them drinking out there. Man, they'll start. We'll have
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: a little let's pick. Do you drink? Now? Come with me?
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: Do you drink? I come with Yeah? How fast you
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: run that three miles? Come with me?
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: Drive drive around and watch kids at a bus stop,
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: and you'll see middle school and up. Not elementary they don't,
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: but like middle school. I drive by and I see kids.
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: There's six kids at a bus stop. No one's looking
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: at each other, no one's talking, they're just talking on
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: the phone.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fucking sad. I saw three kids riding their
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: bikes down the street from me as I was leaving.
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: All of them just like this down the street, all
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: on their fucking phones, riding their bikes, no hobmets on,
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: no nothing, probably thirteen fourteen years old.
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: One of them doing a wheelie down the street.
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: Car. Is it sad that? Not the kids, but like
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: the adults. I kind of root for a crash.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: It's a bad I didn't. I'm just saying I am legally.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: I didn't say anything out loud. I saw one kid
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: coming around.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: Uh he works Stovers last Saturday, and he's got the
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: little dirt bike and he's doing a wheelie all the
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: way around the corner like.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: A fucking asshole.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: Cars everywhere, people crossing the street that doesn't care, doesn't care.
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: That guy.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: Well, if you wipe out it on the corner, sorry,
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: I mean, I'll call the ambulance for you.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: But lose any sleep over it. Yeah, I might even chuckle.
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: I don't want the guy to die, but you know,
