- 1:01Speaker 1: You don't want to be that guy. No, I was
- 1:03Speaker 1: happy being warm.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Yeah, boating out there gets a little chilly, it.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Does, especially when you start. Yeah yeah, I mean most
- 1:11Speaker 1: of the boats are wrapped up now.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Get around Charles Island, the waves, the wind, everything. But
- 1:17Speaker 4: we were watching people do the wraps as we were
- 1:19Speaker 4: going out of the marina and it was funny because
- 1:21Speaker 4: we were making fun of people like, oh, that boat's good,
- 1:22Speaker 4: that boat's good, that boat's not.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Don't give me your card.
- 1:25Speaker 4: And we come around and they were still there doing it.
- 1:29Speaker 1: It was so welcome back, Thank you so much. I did.
- 1:33Speaker 5: I showed up to the Turkey Trail last year, but
- 1:34Speaker 5: I had to work at ten am a stone Bridge,
- 1:37Speaker 5: so I had to work like a twelve hour shift.
- 1:39Speaker 1: So I popped in said hello.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Not to mention you were working until one am night
- 1:43Speaker 4: before four.
- 1:44Speaker 2: But now with my new career, I'm actually going to
- 1:47Speaker 2: be off Wednesday night.
- 1:48Speaker 5: I'm gonna wave up Thursday more and start pounding beers
- 1:51Speaker 5: at ten am with you guys.
- 1:56Speaker 2: At ten right.
- 1:57Speaker 4: The race, the race, the fun because it's not a race,
- 2:01Speaker 4: there's no winners. Starts at nine am Thanksgiving morning.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Be there.
- 2:06Speaker 4: There's years, So let me quick introduce here Paul, Paul Lafferty.
- 2:14Speaker 4: He has a corral. Out of the fourteen hundred and
- 2:18Speaker 4: sixty people we had last year, there was the super
- 2:21Speaker 4: Fast three mile, then the two mile, then the one mile,
- 2:24Speaker 4: then there was the Avery's Little Army Corral. And I
- 2:26Speaker 4: have to say that Avery's Little Army Corral was the
- 2:28Speaker 4: most excited. They wore their own shirts and had their
- 2:31Speaker 4: own makeup and we're just doing pyramids and stuff and
- 2:36Speaker 4: it was just.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Amazing to see.
- 2:37Speaker 4: It was all for his daughter, Avery, which was just awesome.
- 2:41Speaker 6: Yeah, so she would leave the charge and you know
- 2:43Speaker 6: all her school friends were there, soccer players, family friends
- 2:48Speaker 6: supporting right, and you know, Tours generous enough to send
- 2:51Speaker 6: a portion of funds toward Avery's Army to whatever charity
- 2:54Speaker 6: we kind of you know, look at that year, which
- 2:57Speaker 6: basically raises funds for pediatric cancer research. You know, they
- 3:00Speaker 6: get into it, they love it, but I mean it's
- 3:02Speaker 6: such a fun event. He's the best part. And we've
- 3:04Speaker 6: had so many videos of them running up the hill
- 3:07Speaker 6: and down the street and it's like as soon as
- 3:09Speaker 6: the start gun goes off. It's you know, it was
- 3:12Speaker 6: like a celebration for them, you know, every step of
- 3:14Speaker 6: the way.
- 3:15Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:16Speaker 1: When I when I showed up last year, you know,
- 3:18Speaker 1: I was kind of in the Raffle area and I
- 3:20Speaker 1: saw all the because my friend.
- 3:22Speaker 2: That was there that did it, Steve, he had his
- 3:24Speaker 2: two kids.
- 3:25Speaker 1: In like a little you know, pole trailer thing whatever
- 3:28Speaker 1: you call it, a little and so he just did
- 3:30Speaker 1: the one mile walk, I think, but I saw it
- 3:33Speaker 1: was got a look a little chaotic in the beginning,
- 3:35Speaker 1: like everyone's like which line. I I was just like,
- 3:39Speaker 1: I gotta do this next year.
- 3:41Speaker 4: So we we improved every year. This is now going
- 3:44Speaker 4: to be the fourth year. But last year I went
- 3:47Speaker 4: all out, went on Amazon three hundred dollars and I
- 3:50Speaker 4: have this nice rainbow inflatable start, which is pretty cool
- 3:54Speaker 4: because on the top there's a plastic thing so I
- 3:55Speaker 4: could insert what was it five or six letters that's
- 3:59Speaker 4: a s tart with an EXPLAINATIONI point start and on
- 4:02Speaker 4: the other side it says finish because you come in
- 4:05Speaker 4: one side and you go the other. So it was
- 4:07Speaker 4: brilliant and we've got it again this year, but we'll
- 4:10Speaker 4: improve the corrals we'll improve the process. There is a
- 4:14Speaker 4: bit of a kind of roadblock or a bottleneck at
- 4:17Speaker 4: the beginning because we just can't have two thousand people
- 4:20Speaker 4: start walking or running down Gulf.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Street at the same time. But it's absolutely wonderful. The
- 4:25Speaker 1: rum runners are playing.
- 4:27Speaker 4: It's all for charity, it's all about before Thanksgiving, so
- 4:31Speaker 4: it's a great time. And Paul and Lisa your wife,
- 4:35Speaker 4: got involved early on because it's a great cause. And
- 4:39Speaker 4: the whole awareness behind pediatric cancer was wonderful, and the
- 4:43Speaker 4: focus is really there's always been three. It's always been
- 4:46Speaker 4: Milford Public Schools and which is for the kids and
- 4:49Speaker 4: the schools, and it goes to the ptas and the PTOs,
- 4:51Speaker 4: and then there's Purple Pantry Boxes, which is wonderful.
- 4:55Speaker 7: I'm actually on the board for them.
- 4:56Speaker 1: You know suber Brown.
- 4:57Speaker 4: I'm sure she's been voted like best non profit in
- 5:00Speaker 4: Milford for many years in a row.
- 5:02Speaker 7: And it's wonderful what.
- 5:03Speaker 4: They do, the fifteen or sixteen thousand pieces of food
- 5:06Speaker 4: every month to people just in Milford. And then Avery's
- 5:10Speaker 4: Little Army, which has just transitioned soul right, yeah, so
- 5:14Speaker 4: if you could talk about it Little Army, Yeah.
- 5:16Speaker 6: No, so you know, we Avery was diagnosed with a
- 5:21Speaker 6: diffuse mid langlioma, which is a very aggressive form of
- 5:24Speaker 6: brain cancer, in December of twenty twenty one. And you know,
- 5:28Speaker 6: we didn't really sit on the sidelines very much. We
- 5:31Speaker 6: kind of got involved in fundraising for different organizations thanks
- 5:35Speaker 6: to tour which was great. We raised, you know, close
- 5:38Speaker 6: to two hundred thousand for different organizations.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Right.
- 5:41Speaker 6: We did the Cure Starts now with you guys last
- 5:43Speaker 6: year in the year before, and they fund research. You know,
- 5:49Speaker 6: the worst thing happened this year where Avery passed away
- 5:52Speaker 6: in July. And as that was happening, we realized that
- 5:58Speaker 6: it was great to do things for other organizations. But
- 6:01Speaker 6: you know, one of the things like when you look
- 6:03Speaker 6: at Avery, she was great at sports, she was grade
- 6:07Speaker 6: at school, right, math was like her thing, just off
- 6:10Speaker 6: the charts. But what she really loved were like one
- 6:12Speaker 6: of all our friends and like helping all our friends
- 6:16Speaker 6: and classmates every chance she could, right, Like she was
- 6:19Speaker 6: the kid who would like teach other kids math in
- 6:20Speaker 6: class and stuff like that. And so like what we
- 6:24Speaker 6: care about research and we're going to keep raising a
- 6:26Speaker 6: bunch of research.
- 6:26Speaker 7: We created Avery's.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Little Army, Inc. We made it our own nonprofit and
- 6:30Speaker 6: the piece was it to start giving back to the
- 6:31Speaker 6: community here too at the same time, right, start helping
- 6:35Speaker 6: families in Connecticut in the New England region. You know,
- 6:38Speaker 6: we were lucky enough throughout this to keep our jobs
- 6:41Speaker 6: and keep working, and we're never like, how am I
- 6:44Speaker 6: going to make my mortgage payment? You know, there's other
- 6:47Speaker 6: families in Connecticut who were battling, you know, all types
- 6:50Speaker 6: of different cancers who weren't as lucky, right, And that's
- 6:53Speaker 6: where we said, this is what she'd want us to do,
- 6:55Speaker 6: and we kind of put our foot on the gas
- 6:58Speaker 6: and started running through and creating a nonprofit and getting
- 7:01Speaker 6: up to speed and yeah, so that's what we're doing now.
- 7:05Speaker 6: You know, we had a pretty good initial start a
- 7:08Speaker 6: few events, and you know, we're looking forward to doing
- 7:11Speaker 6: more without the Turkey try and other events like that.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Well, there was just an event at a brewery that
- 7:16Speaker 4: was which I wanted to go.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I couldn't.
- 7:17Speaker 4: I think my son had a baseball game or something.
- 7:19Speaker 4: But it's not what we're trying to promote here. But yeah,
- 7:22Speaker 4: no talk about it because.
- 7:23Speaker 6: The company came to us and they were like, then
- 7:27Speaker 6: to have your first event and we're like, well, we
- 7:28Speaker 6: haven't had an event yet, and it was great because
- 7:31Speaker 6: we got to figure out what worked, it didn't work.
- 7:34Speaker 6: You know. We had a couple of live bands and
- 7:37Speaker 6: it was a fun time.
- 7:38Speaker 1: You know.
- 7:38Speaker 6: We didn't have any big donor come in and kind
- 7:41Speaker 6: of rescue us with a big donation, but we raised
- 7:43Speaker 6: about eight thousand dollars, which is great because we could
- 7:46Speaker 6: take that and turn it right around and say, Okay,
- 7:48Speaker 6: We've looked at a couple other organizations. There's this one
- 7:51Speaker 6: called Live Brave Together, right, and what they do is,
- 7:54Speaker 6: you know, they will a family can submit an application
- 7:58Speaker 6: because they can't make their mortgage payments, and they've got
- 8:00Speaker 6: a group of like twenty five different organizations who they
- 8:03Speaker 6: kind of you know, farm it out to and say
- 8:05Speaker 6: who can take you know ten, you know, one hundred
- 8:08Speaker 6: tenth of this and things of that effect. And we're like, oh,
- 8:10Speaker 6: we can use that money toward this. So where we're
- 8:12Speaker 6: at right now is really figuring out like how we're
- 8:14Speaker 6: going to organize and put money out the door. We've
- 8:17Speaker 6: signed up for a few things already, but we're going
- 8:19Speaker 6: to do a lot more in the next year. So
- 8:21Speaker 6: you know, in about a month, we'll have a good
- 8:23Speaker 6: kind of roadmap to how that'll all look.
- 8:25Speaker 1: And it's still very fresh.
- 8:26Speaker 7: It is is.
- 8:27Speaker 6: Super fresh, right. I mean the three month anniversion of
- 8:30Speaker 6: Amory Passing was last Saturday.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Right.
- 8:33Speaker 6: And you know if anyone who started an organization like this,
- 8:37Speaker 6: you're always like, I gotta get this done, I gotta
- 8:39Speaker 6: get this done. I gotta get this one. And then
- 8:40Speaker 6: you wake up and you're like, oh my god, it's
- 8:42Speaker 6: only been three months. Right, I don't get this much
- 8:44Speaker 6: done at work in three months, So I tell my boss.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Not to mention three years.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Yeah, right, And the amountain you guys have accomplished in
- 8:52Speaker 4: such a short period of time is incredible.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:54Speaker 6: But we couldn't have done it without this, without the community, right,
- 8:57Speaker 6: I mean that's the other part, is so many friends
- 8:59Speaker 6: and family and this like Calfpin Meadow Harbourside Middle School
- 9:04Speaker 6: going out of their way one for Avery to make
- 9:07Speaker 6: sure like she never missed a beat in school.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Right.
- 9:09Speaker 6: The things they did for her, especially her last year
- 9:12Speaker 6: at Harborside were just outstanding. You know, if she had
- 9:17Speaker 6: trouble carrying her backpack, they had an student carrying her
- 9:21Speaker 6: backpack or an aid carry backpack. They set special lunches
- 9:24Speaker 6: for her, so when she could only come in a
- 9:25Speaker 6: couple hours, she got to see all of her friends
- 9:27Speaker 6: and not focus on, you know, getting too distracted with schoolwork.
- 9:31Speaker 6: And then she could do the school work with some
- 9:33Speaker 6: help on the side after school. You know, she should
- 9:35Speaker 6: keep it up because she really cared about her grades.
- 9:37Speaker 6: And but the things that the school did, she was
- 9:41Speaker 6: a good kid. You know, you look at life and
- 9:44Speaker 6: you're like, we got served like you know, the worst.
- 9:50Speaker 6: But then you're like, would you do it all over again?
- 9:53Speaker 1: I would, right right? You know?
- 9:56Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, she was an amazing kid and made
- 10:00Speaker 6: you smile every second of every day. And uh yeah,
- 10:04Speaker 6: we we miss her a lot. Ship And I'm gonna cry,
- 10:08Speaker 6: but I'm not, I'll hold it in. But uh I'm
- 10:12Speaker 6: glad choose in our lives, right, And I think everyone
- 10:14Speaker 6: who met her is glad they were in you know,
- 10:17Speaker 6: their lives. And then it's created. Yeah, exactly. So that's
- 10:21Speaker 6: what's been wild to see is just the way the
- 10:23Speaker 6: communities come out and the way other communities have come
- 10:25Speaker 6: out when they hear her story.
- 10:26Speaker 3: How can how can people outside of the Turkey shot
- 10:30Speaker 3: how can people you.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Know, donate or look into.
- 10:32Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, there is, Yeah, we've got Yeah. We
- 10:36Speaker 6: bought a lot of web domains because they can misspell
- 10:38Speaker 6: averies and army and they were all cheap, which is great.
- 10:42Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, it wasn't like uh yeah, it's like
- 10:48Speaker 6: it wasn't it wasn't. It wasn't It wasn't too bad. Yeah,
- 10:51Speaker 6: So so now we're just buying up websites. There was
- 10:55Speaker 6: there was one variation that was expensive. It was funny.
- 10:57Speaker 6: I was like, that's weird. But yeah, I know if
- 10:59Speaker 6: you go to as Little Army dot org or Averri's
- 11:02Speaker 6: Little Army dot com, it'll forward you to Avery's Little
- 11:04Speaker 6: Army dot org. But we are a nonprofit, right, that's
- 11:08Speaker 6: how people can see avery story. They can make a donation,
- 11:12Speaker 6: and then you know, we're on your Facebook, your Instagram.
- 11:15Speaker 6: We're now on TikTok, which is very hard to understand.
- 11:18Speaker 6: How how I think, like things just slow up out
- 11:21Speaker 6: of nowhere, right, It's it's wild.
- 11:23Speaker 2: I tell this story all the time.
- 11:25Speaker 3: When I first got TikTok, I just kind of went
- 11:27Speaker 3: on and it's just a video of a girl in
- 11:32Speaker 3: like a swimsuit top and shorts on dancing on her bed.
- 11:37Speaker 2: You know, just to be in like a teenager like
- 11:39Speaker 2: doing this. And then I'm like, I'm like, what the fuck?
- 11:41Speaker 2: Why is this in my feed? And that'll be my
- 11:44Speaker 2: best friend's niece.
- 11:46Speaker 7: And oh no, no, go to jail.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I can't do this.
- 11:52Speaker 6: And that video got probably like you know, three hundred
- 11:54Speaker 6: thousand years or something.
- 11:55Speaker 7: Crazy in the first Yeah, just do this.
- 11:58Speaker 4: Then I go out and I take some credible photos
- 12:01Speaker 4: and you think it's amazing or really like emotional message
- 12:04Speaker 4: and I'll get like seven thumbs up from my neighbors
- 12:07Speaker 4: and close proximity.
- 12:08Speaker 5: And the rated show ever was this girl, Lindsay Capawano
- 12:12Speaker 5: out of Stratford, and she has a really.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Big but yeah, and she is like has like an only.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Fans account to show her.
- 12:20Speaker 7: You talked about this last year.
- 12:23Speaker 2: I literally like I blew up the internet.
- 12:26Speaker 6: What was in for me was the man about right,
- 12:30Speaker 6: I mean, big buds, the cant of.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Brothers. Can't deny exactly.
- 12:36Speaker 4: So I just give you a second Paul here. Yeah,
- 12:39Speaker 4: there's one story that stands out, and it was amazing
- 12:41Speaker 4: because it was after the Turkey Trot was done. You know,
- 12:44Speaker 4: we had I think this year there were eight hundred
- 12:46Speaker 4: people that were running.
- 12:47Speaker 1: It was two years ago.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Eight hundred people that ran and everything, and the it
- 12:51Speaker 4: wasn't the rum Runners that year. It was a group
- 12:54Speaker 4: that Jimpino put together just so we had live music
- 12:56Speaker 4: because Jimpkno was amazing and he's been a part of
- 12:59Speaker 4: it the whole time. And they're playing music, and there's
- 13:01Speaker 4: free beer from Nebko and free beer from other breweries,
- 13:04Speaker 4: and here's Avery on the top of a human pyramid
- 13:09Speaker 4: and they're all wearing the white T shirts for Avery's
- 13:11Speaker 4: Little Army, and it was amazing. And Jamie Whittaker, the
- 13:15Speaker 4: principal from CAF Penn, was there and you know, taking
- 13:18Speaker 4: pictures and I just look and I'm like, oh my god,
- 13:21Speaker 4: this is incredible. Not only did she have one of
- 13:23Speaker 4: the entire corrals dedicated to her, and people literally with her,
- 13:27Speaker 4: willing to carry her. Not that she needed it at
- 13:29Speaker 4: that moment, but you never know. And then they're making
- 13:32Speaker 4: a pyramid and they're having fun, and then I see
- 13:34Speaker 4: Ben Blake walk over and he's like, hey, I think
- 13:37Speaker 4: you should turn the lights on tomorrow because the day
- 13:39Speaker 4: after Thanksgiving is when they do the light ceremony. So
- 13:41Speaker 4: the next day there I was standing in the green,
- 13:45Speaker 4: and I'm just watching. I think this was two years ago.
- 13:47Speaker 4: If I'm not missing, you probably remember better than I do.
- 13:49Speaker 4: And I'm standing there in the green. I've got my
- 13:51Speaker 4: kid on my shoulders, and my daughter's running around being
- 13:54Speaker 4: the little devil that she is. And I see Avery
- 13:57Speaker 4: walk up there and again a crowd of friends around her,
- 14:00Speaker 4: just surrounding her, and the guy the voice of Milford
- 14:04Speaker 4: with the top hat doing all this stuff, and the
- 14:06Speaker 4: lights going on, and I just started crying. Yeah, there
- 14:09Speaker 4: I am in the green, which is frigid, by the way.
- 14:12Speaker 4: I don't care how they try to plan it. It's
- 14:15Speaker 4: always miserably cold when they do the lights on the.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Green and they flipped the switch.
- 14:19Speaker 4: Yeah, but but the Turkey Drive, we've been super Where's
- 14:22Speaker 4: w Where's what? Like? It was super nice the last
- 14:25Speaker 4: three years in a row. We deserve a hailstorm Thanksgiving morning,
- 14:29Speaker 4: but every time, every time, the day after Thanksgiving for
- 14:33Speaker 4: that tree lighting, it is horrid. And there she was
- 14:37Speaker 4: up there in the pavilion with a million friends around her, and.
- 14:41Speaker 7: It was just great.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it was absolutely great.
- 14:42Speaker 6: It was really nice. Point my timing, Okay, no, yeah,
- 14:45Speaker 6: that was PERV. That was it was twenty twenty two.
- 14:48Speaker 6: It was a very special moment for her, right, and
- 14:51Speaker 6: it was one of those where Ben's like, yeah, you
- 14:53Speaker 6: can invite a few friends, and she invited like every
- 14:54Speaker 6: friend she could reach out to it because she has
- 14:57Speaker 6: She didn't have a phone then, so I remember we
- 14:59Speaker 6: were like, text this person's parents and take this person
- 15:01Speaker 6: and then there was a whole mom of them. I
- 15:03Speaker 6: think they took Casey Cook's little baby at the time
- 15:06Speaker 6: and brought you know, the baby up with them. But yeah,
- 15:08Speaker 6: it was great. You know, it was one of those

- 15:13Speaker 6: kind of watched like you know, your phone makes your
- 15:15Speaker 6: memories for you. Yeah, it always pops up and right,

- 15:41Speaker 4: he's not being like my daughter's he's my son, he's strong,
- 15:45Speaker 4: and then I just lost it, so I he probably
- 15:49Speaker 4: wasn't looking at.
- 15:49Speaker 6: Me, but but I mean, that's why Milburn's like this
- 15:53Speaker 6: really magical place around Thanksgiving.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Right, Your long town is fucking special, It really is.
- 16:00Speaker 7: This town is unbelievable.
- 16:01Speaker 4: I moved here four and a half a little bit
- 16:03Speaker 4: more than four and a half years ago, and I
- 16:05Speaker 4: don't tell many people, but our plan was to move
- 16:07Speaker 4: here for two years and see what's going on, and
- 16:09Speaker 4: then we'll move back to Minnesota. And we haven't been
- 16:11Speaker 4: to Minnesota for I don't know thirty years. My wife
- 16:14Speaker 4: was in Portland. I was in California for some reason.
- 16:18Speaker 4: When we started dating. She sold her house in Portland
- 16:20Speaker 4: and moved into my uncle's basement with me in California,
- 16:23Speaker 4: which was awesome, and then we stayed there for twelve years,
- 16:25Speaker 4: got a dog, had our first kid, had our second kid,
- 16:28Speaker 4: and my uncle's like, you gotta get that out. And
- 16:32Speaker 4: then we're like, oh, you know, let's move back to Minnesota.
- 16:35Speaker 4: And our boss said, oh, I have an opportunity for you.
- 16:37Speaker 4: It's closer to Minnesota. We're like great Orange Connecticut, Like, buddy,
- 16:41Speaker 4: your geography of your geography. You were raised in the US,
- 16:45Speaker 4: weren't you. So we moved to Orange, well, Milford, because
- 16:50Speaker 4: there was nothing good in Orange, and the schools here
- 16:52Speaker 4: looked way more attractive every day.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Orange. Yeah it's good, we love Orange. But they got
- 16:59Speaker 1: a home.
- 17:01Speaker 4: We found, We found a phenomenal place right in the
- 17:03Speaker 4: Golf Beach area, and like, you cannot beat this.
- 17:06Speaker 1: You walk to downtown, which is a beautiful downtown.
- 17:09Speaker 4: The Spencer's Marina, Like, okay, it's not like a top
- 17:13Speaker 4: notch marina, but it's right there and it's so convenient golf.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Not everybody right now, Golf Beach isn't a great beach.
- 17:23Speaker 6: It's not the dunes.
- 17:24Speaker 7: But yeah, well it's not even just across the marina.
- 17:27Speaker 7: What's that one.
- 17:27Speaker 1: There's like seven names for the same beach, Silver, Sands,
- 17:31Speaker 1: and Walnut, and you just work, it's the same beach.
- 17:35Speaker 1: There's like seven names for it.
- 17:36Speaker 6: I got to divine it out by each association exactly
- 17:40Speaker 6: your association, bab.
- 17:42Speaker 4: But still, Golf Beach is amazing if you compare it
- 17:45Speaker 4: to not having a beach. And my kid, my daughter,
- 17:47Speaker 4: the devil, will go down there and she'll spend three
- 17:50Speaker 4: hours just doing nothing, just playing in the sand, throwing
- 17:53Speaker 4: a rock, getting her feet wet, looking at me to
- 17:55Speaker 4: see if I noticed. Then her whole waist is wet,
- 17:57Speaker 4: looking to.
- 17:57Speaker 7: See if I notice.
- 17:58Speaker 1: She's almost six years old and she still just pushes
- 18:01Speaker 1: every button you can. But Milford is beautiful. I've had,
- 18:05Speaker 1: you know, multiple charities on this show, and it's just
- 18:08Speaker 1: it's crazy. You know, keeping Milford warm one of them,
- 18:11Speaker 1: you know, the Purple pantry, like keeping with them warm,
- 18:13Speaker 1: like who you know, not to sound that's for the meal. Right.
- 18:17Speaker 1: We live in a town that there's there's some money
- 18:19Speaker 1: in this town. But I had no idea there was
- 18:22Speaker 1: like a literally a heating problem for you know people
- 18:25Speaker 1: in Milford, you know, and they same thing with food.
- 18:27Speaker 1: They will pay, yeah, and they will pay, you know,
- 18:29Speaker 1: they pay your your your bill is basically to keep
- 18:32Speaker 1: the heat on. Look at your UI bill in Milford,
- 18:34Speaker 1: just in Milford alone, but.
- 18:35Speaker 7: Look at your UI bill.
- 18:37Speaker 4: There's a solid I don't know the number, it's twenty
- 18:39Speaker 4: to twenty five percent on the on the bar of
- 18:42Speaker 4: your bill every year. That is for you know, public good.
- 18:45Speaker 4: It's it's to help people that need help.
- 18:48Speaker 1: It's nice, right, Yeah, and then they work in the
- 18:52Speaker 1: extra money to cover the cost of the twenty percent
- 18:55Speaker 1: that we're paying.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Where else in the world can you set up but
- 19:00Speaker 4: a three mile run where you're on a beautiful new
- 19:03Speaker 4: sidewalk that goes by not only a beach but also
- 19:07Speaker 4: a pond and an elementary school and a downtown.
- 19:12Speaker 1: And you get free beer in live music.
- 19:15Speaker 6: It's almost like we we need an international road race here. Yeah,
- 19:18Speaker 6: just throwing that idea out there.
- 19:21Speaker 1: I'm gonna a mile walk. We don't. I'm gonna I'm
- 19:26Speaker 1: going to each year. I'm gonna progress myself. I don't
- 19:28Speaker 1: have timers, we don't have clips. I can't afford that.
- 19:30Speaker 4: It's too expensive, and well really I can't afford it,
- 19:32Speaker 4: but it just takes more money away from the charities.
- 19:34Speaker 4: So I'm very, very cheap because as much money as
- 19:38Speaker 4: possible go to the charities.
- 19:39Speaker 1: And if you win, who cares if.
- 19:41Speaker 4: You if you take an hour to walk three whatever
- 19:44Speaker 4: miles it is.
- 19:46Speaker 1: It's three point four, three point two week.
- 19:48Speaker 6: It's a little over three, little over three three. I
- 19:51Speaker 6: think it's three four all the way around the pond
- 19:55Speaker 6: in that range.
- 19:56Speaker 7: Right, We're Americans, so we don't talking like it gets
- 20:01Speaker 7: two commodity.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Yeah, just like why would we smart?
- 20:04Speaker 7: I don't want to count in tens.
- 20:06Speaker 4: I want to do it in what three hundred and
- 20:08Speaker 4: sixty five feet or no, no, it's three thousand, I don't.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Know, five thousand, two hundred and sixty.
- 20:12Speaker 4: See, there you go, there's actually eighty. I think it
- 20:15Speaker 4: makes no sense to make one thousand meters for a kilometer.
- 20:18Speaker 6: That's stupid, right, it's too simple.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Otherwise, because the minute add value. The
- 20:26Speaker 1: minute we switch to the metric system, we all lose weight. Yeah,
- 20:32Speaker 1: how many?
- 20:34Speaker 6: But where we're going to switch them?
- 20:37Speaker 8: In?
- 20:37Speaker 1: Like third grade?
- 20:37Speaker 6: We never did?
- 20:38Speaker 1: You know?
- 20:39Speaker 6: I had to learn all the metric system ship back
- 20:40Speaker 6: and yeah we where were we us? Like nineteen eighty
- 20:43Speaker 6: two eighty three.
- 20:44Speaker 1: It's much easier to lose a pound than it is
- 20:46Speaker 1: to lose a kilogram. No, just going to throw that.
- 20:49Speaker 7: I'm just gonna throw out.
- 20:50Speaker 4: So, yeah, your your shot isn't going to do as
- 20:53Speaker 4: much in the metric system.
- 20:56Speaker 1: I don't know. There's always a Sempic, you know, fucking now, and.
- 21:01Speaker 4: One hundred and thirty pounds then lose what is it
- 21:03Speaker 4: thirty kill or kilograms?
- 21:06Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 21:06Speaker 7: Sixty years.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Fair.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fair math science. Well I'll go from two
- 21:10Speaker 1: thirty five to what one seventy two right off the rip,
- 21:14Speaker 1: that'd be great. Yeah, I don't have to put the
- 21:16Speaker 1: little letters next to it. How much your wife.
- 21:19Speaker 7: Twelve stones?
- 21:21Speaker 1: My doctor's looking at me like, yeah, sorry, buddy.
- 21:23Speaker 7: Oh there's a great meme.

- 22:15Speaker 7: But then we go out to dinner.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's on my couch before we go out. I
- 22:19Speaker 1: tell you, since I started his new job, though, I
- 22:21Speaker 1: am a fucking little bitch. I have no tolerance anything.
- 22:24Speaker 1: I don't drink, so I don't drink. That's it's really good.

- 22:33Speaker 1: But I can't. I can't drink thurn a week. I
- 22:36Speaker 1: won't be able to get up. I'm just I'm not four.
- 22:39Speaker 1: But huh, you said I got to be a work
- 22:43Speaker 1: at six.
- 22:43Speaker 4: So I just get up, shower, quick, breakfast, long time,
- 22:46Speaker 4: shave everything.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's tough, you know, comb the hair sixty
- 22:51Speaker 1: five minutes, yeah, plenty of time. Plenty of time. I'm
- 22:53Speaker 1: actually usually ten minutes early too. I mean, i'll stop
- 22:56Speaker 1: a dunkin, but there's no one on the road at
- 22:57Speaker 1: that time. Fucking screw right up the shelt and I'm
- 22:59Speaker 1: good to go, but like last night we went out
- 23:03Speaker 1: and I woke up with smart. I was like, I
- 23:04Speaker 1: used to never get hungover. Now I get hungover because
- 23:06Speaker 1: I don't drink all week. So I was like, I
- 23:08Speaker 1: had a little headache today, so I took some Madville.
- 23:10Speaker 1: But now I feel great and I got nothing to
- 23:13Speaker 1: do tomorrow but sit on the couch and watch football.

- 23:18Speaker 1: You're your girlfriend's very nice to you. Yeah, well she
- 23:22Speaker 1: needs to be. Are you listening? Are you listening now?
- 23:25Speaker 1: We just bought a house. You gotta get going. I
- 23:28Speaker 1: do all right.
- 23:30Speaker 4: I want to quick a quick plug because Avery's Little
- 23:33Speaker 4: Army is amazing. And it was one of those things
- 23:36Speaker 4: that as soon as I heard about it, I think
- 23:39Speaker 4: it was twenty twenty two. As soon as I heard
- 23:41Speaker 4: about it, I was like absolutely, like put it on
- 23:43Speaker 4: the website and I stole your close the what was
- 23:48Speaker 4: the charity?
- 23:49Speaker 7: It was now the Cure starts, Now, Cure starts Now.
- 23:51Speaker 4: I threw the clay drives, the logo, put it on
- 23:54Speaker 4: the website, put it on the flyers, put it on
- 23:55Speaker 4: the yard.
- 23:56Speaker 7: Signs, did everything. And then I was like, you know,
- 23:57Speaker 7: I should probably check call Paul her.
- 24:01Speaker 6: No, yeah, it's but yeah, we've always wanted to like
- 24:04Speaker 6: get things out there, get things moving to whatever we
- 24:06Speaker 6: can to help. And you know, and I think you
- 24:08Speaker 6: ask how people can help, Like, you know, the easiest
- 24:11Speaker 6: way to help is to like, you know that TikTok.
- 24:14Speaker 6: How it explodes, sharing our messages, Like every time someone
- 24:18Speaker 6: forwards something, repeats it. You know, we get donations from
- 24:21Speaker 6: people we've never even met hear the story, and it
- 24:24Speaker 6: helps because it kind of keeps things going. And every
- 24:26Speaker 6: now and then we get some random, very high dollar
- 24:29Speaker 6: value donations and we can put that to good work. Right,
- 24:31Speaker 6: So sharing our story is probably the best way people
- 24:33Speaker 6: can know.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And the money makes a difference, right because it.
- 24:37Speaker 6: Does, and it will and you know, we'll find a
- 24:39Speaker 6: cure for this, and we'll find a cure for a
- 24:40Speaker 6: lot of other cancers as part of it.
- 24:42Speaker 2: And there's I usually do a photo at the end,
- 24:44Speaker 2: but since you're leaving.
- 24:47Speaker 4: And there's a lot of events, a lot of fun ones,
- 24:49Speaker 4: I don't think it's the next one, but one of
- 24:51Speaker 4: the big ones is the turkey trot.
- 24:52Speaker 6: So yes, we can throw to the turkey trot. That
- 24:55Speaker 6: is our next event I think we might do.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a lot of soccer games. There you go.

- 28:27Speaker 1: So we looked at it and we put an offer
- 28:29Speaker 1: in a little over asking, and we lost by like
- 28:32Speaker 1: three thousand, just something like couldn't even counter. We're like, fuck,
- 28:36Speaker 1: this this process sucks right now and it's always now
- 28:39Speaker 1: it's even worse.
- 28:41Speaker 4: And so I'll have Then you have the s whole

- 30:45Speaker 1: It's just a it's yea, our closing dates not for
- 30:47Speaker 1: a month from today, so it's out there. It's out there.
- 30:51Speaker 4: It's crazy we have a date now. Imagine trying to
- 30:53Speaker 4: do that while you live in California. Yeah no, shoot,
- 30:56Speaker 4: that was me four and a half years show. And
- 30:57Speaker 4: it sounds like you could sign stuff electronically for some
- 31:00Speaker 4: reason they didn't let us do that.
- 31:02Speaker 1: How long it was that four and a half years.
- 31:04Speaker 1: I was like, it was, well, I have not put
- 31:06Speaker 1: pen to anything yet. It was I'll do it at
- 31:08Speaker 1: the closing. It was an end of twenty nineteen.
- 31:11Speaker 4: And then we moved in early January twenty twenty and
- 31:15Speaker 4: for some reason I had to be here in person
- 31:18Speaker 4: for a number of events h and I tried.
- 31:21Speaker 1: To explain to them. I said, guys, we're we're.
- 31:23Speaker 4: In the two thousands, like, you can do stuff electronically,
- 31:27Speaker 4: it's legally binding, it's fine, and they wouldn't accept it.
- 31:30Speaker 4: So right, just flying out to sign nonsense, fucking stupid.
- 31:33Speaker 4: And the closing too, like I had to fly out,
- 31:36Speaker 4: are you kidding me?
- 31:37Speaker 1: Father? My father passed away in January, and we were
- 31:40Speaker 1: going through you know, probate and selling his house and
- 31:43Speaker 1: all this stuff, just my brother and I and we
- 31:47Speaker 1: were dealing with TD Bank, so my dad's accounts we
- 31:50Speaker 1: had to put into our like an estate account. So
- 31:54Speaker 1: it's up in Greenfield, Mass or South Yearfield, which is
- 31:58Speaker 1: you know, our forty minute drive is not the end
- 31:59Speaker 1: of the but I'm like, I can't sign this shit electronically,
- 32:02Speaker 1: and she's like, no, you have to be here, okay,
- 32:05Speaker 1: So I drive up, I sign everything. My girlfriend I
- 32:08Speaker 1: go to a Yankee candle because she's never been there.
- 32:10Speaker 1: So we're walking around for like a half hour, buy
- 32:11Speaker 1: a couple of things, and we're hit the highway. We're
- 32:13Speaker 1: right around Springfield, but I'm gonna go meet my mother
- 32:15Speaker 1: for dinner. And the bank calls me, the same lady
- 32:18Speaker 1: that I just signed me and she's justes, oh my gosh,
- 32:20Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Are you close? And I'm like no.
- 32:23Speaker 1: She goes, there was one thing you needed to sign
- 32:25Speaker 1: that I forgot to give to you. And I'm like,
- 32:28Speaker 1: are you fucking kidding me? This is your job, you tape? Yeah,
- 32:33Speaker 1: come on, and she goes, well, you know what you
- 32:35Speaker 1: can there's a branch in Milford which is right downtown,
- 32:37Speaker 1: the Old People's and you can go there. And I'm like, okay,
- 32:40Speaker 1: I'll go there tomorrow. She's like okay, great, and then
- 32:42Speaker 1: she calls me back again. She goes, you know what,
- 32:44Speaker 1: I'll just send you something, just sign it electronically. Wait
- 32:48Speaker 1: a second, I just fucking drive all the way up
- 32:50Speaker 1: here to sign shit. I missed something, and now it's
- 32:52Speaker 1: okay to sign electronically go fuck yourself. Yeah. So then
- 32:57Speaker 1: when we went to take everything out of his account,
- 33:00Speaker 1: she was like, do you wish to stay with TV?
- 33:04Speaker 1: I got my own banking home, thanks very much.
- 33:07Speaker 4: Yeah, that's rough, man, I just lost my He was
- 33:10Speaker 4: a very nice lady though. I just lost my dad
- 33:12Speaker 4: a month ago, and the whole process and like, I
- 33:17Speaker 4: have to be honest, making the phone call to like
- 33:19Speaker 4: Social Security, oh my god, to the Minnesota Educational Teacher's Fund,
- 33:25Speaker 4: like the Public Works Fund, like all these phone calls
- 33:27Speaker 4: that I had to make, and I was like hey,
- 33:30Speaker 4: and they answer.
- 33:30Speaker 1: They're nice, they're polite, like, oh, hey, what can I do?
- 33:33Speaker 1: You just sat on.
- 33:34Speaker 4: Hold for forty five minutes and I'm finally answering, so
- 33:36Speaker 4: you better tell me something good. I'm like, well, I'm
- 33:39Speaker 4: calling because my dad died and I need to make
- 33:40Speaker 4: sure my mom, you know, gets what.
- 33:42Speaker 1: She needs right.
- 33:44Speaker 4: And then it's just rough, right, Like what do you
- 33:46Speaker 4: do from there? So you know, I'm sorry that January
- 33:50Speaker 4: you as well? Yeah it was es Man.
- 33:53Speaker 1: His death date was January second, but we're pretty sure
- 33:55Speaker 1: he died like New Year's Eve, like you, oh lord,
- 33:57Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, he had a heart attack alone. My
- 34:00Speaker 1: brother went a couple of days later and found him.
- 34:02Speaker 1: But I gotta I got a fucking social Security check
- 34:05Speaker 1: out of him two hundred and fifty dollars. No, No,
- 34:08Speaker 1: he was getting like twenty four hundred. And they said
- 34:11Speaker 1: they sent us a they sent us No, they sent
- 34:13Speaker 1: us a form because they were trying to suck one
- 34:17Speaker 1: back because they find out his death date. And then
- 34:19Speaker 1: they then they sent right, and then they send something
- 34:21Speaker 1: to my brother and I. We both signed off on it,
- 34:24Speaker 1: and I got half of it, but it came with them.
- 34:26Speaker 1: I totally forgot about it. And then like twelve hundred
- 34:28Speaker 1: bucks shows up at the door, Which is another fucked
- 34:30Speaker 1: up thing about social Security, Like, first of all, how
- 34:33Speaker 1: many people that pay in it too? It don't even live
- 34:35Speaker 1: to the fucking age to start collecting. M hm. So
- 34:38Speaker 1: say you start collecting in sixty five, there's you got
- 34:40Speaker 1: to live to like one hundred to collect literally what
- 34:43Speaker 1: you put in.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Well, that's not the concept of it. It's not an
- 34:46Speaker 4: investment mechanism. It's a social good mechanism. Right.
- 34:50Speaker 1: A difference, Well, there is a difference. I know this
- 34:52Speaker 1: is kind of your field, but where does the money
- 34:55Speaker 1: go when the guy dies to the government, right, is wrong?
- 34:59Speaker 1: That that's I mean, that's what I'm saying. There should
- 35:01Speaker 1: maybe there should be some of this money to help.
- 35:04Speaker 1: So why maybe I should say to those people that last.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Until that's paying for this one hundred and two year
- 35:10Speaker 4: old guy.
- 35:10Speaker 1: But like when someone dies, especially in a situation where
- 35:14Speaker 1: like it's an old, married couple and they don't really
- 35:15Speaker 1: have any kids, you know, and now now the woman
- 35:19Speaker 1: she just lost half her income.
- 35:21Speaker 4: More typically more in this scenario, much more than half.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Right, So why isn't there like a part of Social
- 35:30Speaker 1: Security to the should should have like a death benefit
- 35:33Speaker 1: attached to it.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Or it should look at people and say, oh, you
- 35:36Speaker 4: already have twenty thousand dollars a month, like you're fine, right,
- 35:40Speaker 4: you don't need the death benefit social Security. Here's someone
- 35:43Speaker 4: living on three thousand a month, like you should help them, right,
- 35:46Speaker 4: because that's it's a lot, but it's still rough, especially
- 35:50Speaker 4: with prices.
- 35:51Speaker 2: You know.
- 35:51Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody you know pays into a pension
- 35:54Speaker 1: or four to one k, that money's all going to
- 35:56Speaker 1: be fucking well, you know, it's right go to somebody else.
- 35:59Speaker 1: It's real off.
- 36:00Speaker 4: Not on the government side, on private side. There are
- 36:02Speaker 4: companies where if you pass your pension or all the
- 36:05Speaker 4: money and your pension goes back to the owner of
- 36:07Speaker 4: the company. And that's the way that it's set up.
- 36:10Speaker 4: That's just manipulative. I mean, you want to talk about
- 36:13Speaker 4: things that are messed up, we'll talk like, let's let's
- 36:16Speaker 4: talk insurance, let's.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Talk legal, let's talk medical. They're totally screwed.
- 36:22Speaker 4: But that's something that's just malicious, and I'm not a
- 36:25Speaker 4: fan of that.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I just I couldn't even believe
- 36:29Speaker 1: I got any money out of it. I just thought,
- 36:31Speaker 1: you know, he's gone.
- 36:33Speaker 4: They didn't take that back because he sent it to me.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Well, so he was getting he was getting the direct
- 36:38Speaker 1: deposits into account and typically they're like they sucked one
- 36:42Speaker 1: two days in advance, or they sucked one back, got
- 36:44Speaker 1: it okay, And then they sent us this form and
- 36:47Speaker 1: my brother was going to throw it out. I'm like, well,
- 36:49Speaker 1: let's just fucking fill it out. He never got his,
- 36:50Speaker 1: though I got mine, he never got his. Here's the
- 36:53Speaker 1: first one. You're ready, I'm gonna do a viva okay,
- 36:56Speaker 1: viva nice? Got it I had to do in the vivas.

- 37:34Speaker 1: And uh, but golfing in a tournament with eleven teams
- 37:38Speaker 1: is fucking amazing. It's a scramble, yeah, but you just

- 39:47Speaker 4: It's fine, but but like.
- 39:51Speaker 1: I thought those moves.
- 39:51Speaker 4: Anyways, long story, short single to myle golf tournament.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Yes, you guys, you're gonna get a big sponsorship.
- 39:58Speaker 4: Milford Charity golf dot com. No food, Milford charitygolf dot com.
- 40:03Speaker 4: You want to talk about buying a ur L and
- 40:05Speaker 4: getting value out of it.
- 40:07Speaker 1: So with this website golf dot com, like that is
- 40:11Speaker 1: just not one tournament.
- 40:12Speaker 4: You got one tournament. That's just the one tournament. That's
- 40:15Speaker 4: the one tournament. And each year I redirect the r
- 40:18Speaker 4: L to where the one tournament is. And it's amazing
- 40:23Speaker 4: because we show up and you do a scramble, and
- 40:26Speaker 4: we've got like competitions on the putting green, we've got
- 40:30Speaker 4: long drive, we've got go win a Tesla on this whole.
- 40:34Speaker 4: If you get a hold in one like.
- 40:35Speaker 1: That, those are little those are see. I I've it's
- 40:38Speaker 1: the fine policy. No, I know that, but I've read
- 40:41Speaker 1: the fine print on these somebody no, no, no, the cards.
- 40:46Speaker 1: So it's fifty thousand dollars.
- 40:47Speaker 4: You takes you look as cars around.
- 40:52Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. I don't mess around.
- 40:54Speaker 4: I'm very you either get fifty thousand dollars cash or
- 40:58Speaker 4: you take the Tesla car.
- 40:59Speaker 1: And it's worse. Now if they have a Tesla car
- 41:01Speaker 1: that's fifty thousand.
- 41:02Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the Model three, Model three yeah, I mean
- 41:05Speaker 4: it's a pretty fifty grand I'm not saying it's fucking bad.
- 41:09Speaker 4: I'm just like holding one on the shorter hole and
- 41:12Speaker 4: you can take home the Yeti cooler. That's fine too.
- 41:16Speaker 4: I might rather have a Yeti than it costs a
- 41:19Speaker 4: lot of money to put, you know, the insurance policy
- 41:21Speaker 4: on there.
- 41:22Speaker 1: But it's only like nine hundred bucks. I was gonna
- 41:24Speaker 1: say it's not over one thousand dollars. It's nine hundred bucks.
- 41:26Speaker 4: And then the whole needs to be over one hundred
- 41:28Speaker 4: and seventy.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Five yards, which is a hard hole in one, correct,
- 41:32Speaker 1: I can't. I can't even iron.
- 41:35Speaker 4: You also cannot be at any point to pro golfer
- 41:38Speaker 4: in any caliber or any certification. So like, if someone's
- 41:42Speaker 4: recording it, you're an amateur and you get a hold
- 41:44Speaker 4: on one, you got a car. Nice, But because of
- 41:47Speaker 4: the value, it needs to be recorded. So we bring
- 41:48Speaker 4: volunteers in. They've got their phones going the whole time.
- 41:51Speaker 4: It's fun, but it's a great event. And then Gressi
- 41:54Speaker 4: Hill is wonderful. I would love to do it at
- 41:57Speaker 4: a different course somewhere else, but Grassis prices and service
- 42:01Speaker 4: and what they offer is just great.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:03Speaker 4: And then of course I sorry, Nepko comes in and
- 42:06Speaker 4: gives us free beer for the whole event, and Athletic
- 42:10Speaker 4: does some stuff and other hopefully Viva does in the future.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can say, go to mile. There's no
- 42:15Speaker 1: reason why they wouldn't jump out that tequila.
- 42:17Speaker 4: And right, so Viva can be the second biggest sponsor
- 42:21Speaker 4: and we can just make it a good time. But
- 42:23Speaker 4: that's again just for the whole betterment of Milford, because
- 42:29Speaker 4: if you can't get back to the community, why are
- 42:31Speaker 4: you around, right.
- 42:32Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, what's your fucking point on this earth? Dude?
- 42:35Speaker 4: I can take, take, take, but it feels so much.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Better to give give give. It really does, it really does.
- 42:42Speaker 1: So you want to hear about my night last night?
- 42:43Speaker 1: I am.
- 42:44Speaker 4: I mean you you talked about it earlier, all right,
- 42:46Speaker 4: So I gotta preface this by the reason why I went.

- 42:54Speaker 1: well no, actually I had to do with the margarita.

- 44:10Speaker 1: and she immediately left the bar and went to wait
- 44:13Speaker 1: on tables in like the front room. Like she was
- 44:16Speaker 1: like going, I'm now I'm just fucking watching. I could
- 44:19Speaker 1: care less how well you know, I know the business
- 44:21Speaker 1: you're in the Yeah, you're in there. So now I'm watching.
- 44:23Speaker 1: And now it's literally literally been five minutes because I
- 44:26Speaker 1: look at my watch and no one's behind the bar now,
- 44:29Speaker 1: and I look at this all. You know, it's not
- 44:31Speaker 1: a big bar. It's like twelve fourteen seats. So I'm
- 44:34Speaker 1: looking at each couple at the bar and they're pretty
- 44:36Speaker 1: much done their drinks, done their food, and everyone's just
- 44:39Speaker 1: sitting there. So I turn, I look at the host stand.
- 44:43Speaker 1: It's three hostesses, all fucking on their phones. And then
- 44:46Speaker 1: and the manager. The guy I think that's either the
- 44:49Speaker 1: GM or just the night manager, you know, and he's
- 44:53Speaker 1: just bullshitting with these young, fucking eighteen year old girls.
- 44:56Speaker 1: He's not getting your drink. Nope, I don't think he's quale.
- 44:59Speaker 1: I'm a yessing he's not qualified to even fucking pour
- 45:01Speaker 1: a drink, because if it was me, I'm getting my
- 45:04Speaker 1: bartender out of the weeds. Right. So now it's been
- 45:08Speaker 1: legit ten minutes. We haven't been greeted yet at the bar,
- 45:12Speaker 1: and I could. I mean, now, the girls, I'm weird.
- 45:14Speaker 1: They're starting to get antsy, and I'm meaning, I'm like
- 45:17Speaker 1: enjoying it. I'm sweating sitting here, but yeah, I'm enjoying
- 45:20Speaker 1: the fucking the just the actual breakdown of fucking what's
- 45:24Speaker 1: going on, the operational failure. Yeah. So a waitress comes
- 45:28Speaker 1: behind the bar finally, like minute twelve, she's got her
- 45:31Speaker 1: iPad on her hip because it's everything's digital at these places.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Now the order. So she she waits on a couple
- 45:36Speaker 1: that actually came in after us, but I don't care
- 45:38Speaker 1: because she had no idea she's she's not a bartender,
- 45:41Speaker 1: so she waits on them. She comes to the corner,
- 45:43Speaker 1: they order another round, and then she comes to us.
- 45:45Speaker 1: So I told my girlfriend, I said, listen, when she
- 45:47Speaker 1: comes over here, order her three drinks and just put
- 45:49Speaker 1: in the two flavors of fucking mood sticks we want.
- 45:51Speaker 1: We'll get it all, we'll pay, we'll get the fuck
- 45:53Speaker 1: out right. So she comes over, the girl with super sweet.
- 45:56Speaker 1: I'm so sorry about No, don't don't worry, worry about it.
- 45:59Speaker 1: We'll have you know, two of these is a Tito's
- 46:00Speaker 1: and soda for me, and one each of those new
- 46:03Speaker 1: mood sticks. You guys serve perfect. I go, I really
- 46:06Speaker 1: had to go to the bathrooms. I go, I gotta
- 46:07Speaker 1: take a piss. So I go take a piss. I'm
- 46:09Speaker 1: fucking gone ninety seconds. I come back. Our food is
- 46:13Speaker 1: already there, no drinks, but our food is like literally
- 46:17Speaker 1: the food beat me out from when I went to
- 46:19Speaker 1: the bathroom. I mean, it's a long peak. Yeah, no,
- 46:22Speaker 1: it's like, hey, it seems short, but yeah.
- 46:24Speaker 4: Maybe maybe I exaggerated about like you weren't checking your watch.
- 46:29Speaker 1: So now we have the food there, but no utensils,
- 46:33Speaker 1: and there's again there's no bar tender behind the bar.
- 46:35Speaker 1: So I look at the host down and I go
- 46:37Speaker 1: to the host stand and I'm like, do you have
- 46:39Speaker 1: any utensils up here? And I just get a hard no. No, okay, great,
- 46:42Speaker 1: obviously you know I made something support eggs. So I
- 46:45Speaker 1: walk over to the end of the bar area and
- 46:47Speaker 1: there's a waitress station there. So I just fucking grabbed
- 46:50Speaker 1: three roll ups fucking plates, bring them back, fucking throw
- 46:53Speaker 1: them on the fucking bar. Still no drinks, chilies, still chilies,
- 46:57Speaker 1: Still no fucking drinks. So now I'm eeting. And so
- 47:02Speaker 1: two things I'll give this place credit for. The waitress
- 47:06Speaker 1: and the bartender were actually I was. I was on
- 47:08Speaker 1: their side like they were like they had no support.
- 47:11Speaker 1: And the fucking moot sticks are pretty good, right, so
- 47:16Speaker 1: not like frozen. So now we still have our drinks.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Where at minute twenty two twenty three where I was
- 47:22Speaker 1: done the moot sticks right, and I look over and
- 47:24Speaker 1: the fucking manager, who I swear I went to high
- 47:26Speaker 1: school with. But I just was fucking wasn't gonna say
- 47:29Speaker 1: nothing to him. And he's literally leaning on the bar
- 47:32Speaker 1: watching the fucking met game Will The whole place is
- 47:35Speaker 1: dying as they're getting crushed crushed, So I'm like, what
- 47:38Speaker 1: the fucks And now I'm texting my buddies. They used
- 47:40Speaker 1: to work at Fridays. I'm like, what the fuck? How
- 47:42Speaker 1: do these places stay open? And they're all because of
- 47:44Speaker 1: lunch lunch is web drives these places. So all of
- 47:47Speaker 1: a sudden, the manager comes behind the bar and starts
- 47:49Speaker 1: making a couple of margaritas in service bar. I'm like,
- 47:52Speaker 1: wait a second, you can't make drinks. You fuck her,
- 47:55Speaker 1: but you didn't do anything. You never step by the bar,
- 47:58Speaker 1: and like asked everyone was doing. So finally the girl
- 48:01Speaker 1: comes without drinks and she's like so apologetic, she's super sweet,
- 48:05Speaker 1: and we're like, listen, don't worry about it. And but
- 48:08Speaker 1: now we finish our drinks and again there's no one
- 48:10Speaker 1: behind the bar. Okay, So this is the third best
- 48:12Speaker 1: part about Chili's. The tablet's right there, so I don't
- 48:15Speaker 1: have to wait, I don't have to wait for a check,
- 48:17Speaker 1: So I just fucking we pop it up, pay, get
- 48:19Speaker 1: the fuck out of there, and I'm just like this, fuck,
- 48:23Speaker 1: I can't believe I went there, but I kind of
- 48:26Speaker 1: want to go back for the moodsticks. I'm not gonna lie.
- 48:28Speaker 1: They were like drenched in buffalo sauce. Can we pause
- 48:32Speaker 1: for just a second? Yeah, what's up? I just gotta
- 48:34Speaker 1: go pee? Oh so did I keep drink? Yeah? Go ahead?
- 48:37Speaker 1: Too much day drinking? Go ahead, waite, We're back all right.
- 48:40Speaker 1: So so that was my what is your like? You
- 48:43Speaker 1: ever had like a really awful just I would say
- 48:46Speaker 1: chain restaurant experience, but like in general, just like not
- 48:50Speaker 1: awful like that's that's just life like. So it takes
- 48:54Speaker 1: you twenty five minutes to get your drink, it took
- 48:55Speaker 1: you thirty seconds to get your food. See, I'm a
- 48:58Speaker 1: patient because I'm in the business. I get I literally
- 49:01Speaker 1: enjoy watching how they try to get out of this
- 49:03Speaker 1: conundrum with no support. Have you ever been to I'm
- 49:08Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna mess up.
- 49:09Speaker 4: The name right now is when I was in California.
- 49:11Speaker 4: But it was one of those places it's like, uh Chipotle,
- 49:15Speaker 4: but they do pizzas.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Oh it's called uh, it's called Four of them. There's
- 49:19Speaker 1: four or five different So hold on, there's there's it's
- 49:22Speaker 1: called my my pie, or your pie. It's called your pie. There's, yeah, there's.
- 49:27Speaker 1: I stop at one every year I drive. I know
- 49:29Speaker 1: what you're talking about. It's like a subway.
- 49:31Speaker 4: I call it, like everything the same thing, Chipotle subway,
- 49:34Speaker 4: the same concepts.
- 49:35Speaker 1: Assembly line.
- 49:36Speaker 4: Right, So I show up and I it used to
- 49:38Speaker 4: be a short walk from our office in California, and
- 49:41Speaker 4: I'd walk over and bring the whole team, excuse me,
- 49:45Speaker 4: a few vivas there, and you get in line and
- 49:48Speaker 4: you're just watching. And I'm sitting there and I'm not
- 49:50Speaker 4: an operational guy, but I've got a brain, and I'm
- 49:54Speaker 4: looking like this is stupid.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Look at this.
- 49:55Speaker 4: That person is not where they need to be, Like
- 49:58Speaker 4: this is a bottleneck.
- 49:59Speaker 1: What the hell?
- 50:00Speaker 4: And you go down and you pick your dough, and
- 50:02Speaker 4: then you pick your sauce, and then you pick your
- 50:04Speaker 4: this and this and this. But the toppings are segmented
- 50:07Speaker 4: into like groups. And the concept of Chipotle is great
- 50:11Speaker 4: because one person takes you and and here they have people,
- 50:16Speaker 4: and you can clearly be like that person is the bottleneck,
- 50:20Speaker 4: and all you have to do is.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Pick this cheese or cheese for something silly and you're just.
- 50:29Speaker 4: But here's the problem with that because there's like twelve
- 50:31Speaker 4: meats and then I'm the idiots like I want three
- 50:34Speaker 4: sardines on each slice.
- 50:37Speaker 1: So you've got that guy, right, but you're that guy.
- 50:39Speaker 4: The process, the process was wrong. I'm really gonna forget this.
- 50:44Speaker 4: It's like a gray logo, not my pie, I don't
- 50:48Speaker 4: know whatever.
- 50:48Speaker 1: Anyways, place is called your Pie. I went there.
- 50:52Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's again there's four or five, I'm sure,
- 50:55Speaker 4: but I loved it.
- 50:57Speaker 1: It's great. You get to put as much and it's
- 50:59Speaker 1: just like Chipotle. He's like, no, I want more, I
- 51:01Speaker 1: want more. I want more. I want like literally seventy
- 51:04Speaker 1: five slices of pepperoni, and that fucking small little pizza
- 51:06Speaker 1: put it on there. Charge me to charge me. I
- 51:08Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care.
- 51:10Speaker 4: It was what I want because you don't hold it
- 51:12Speaker 4: online and then cheese and put pepperoni again, you know what,
- 51:17Speaker 4: put another doll.
- 51:17Speaker 1: On top, fucking fat fuck. Oh god, you cannot put
- 51:24Speaker 1: enough pepperoni on a pizza for me. Like, there's this
- 51:26Speaker 1: place you ever seen, It's called Tony Baloni's in fucking
- 51:29Speaker 1: uh in New Jersey. It's I've never been there.
- 51:33Speaker 4: If you're more than three houses proximity to me, I
- 51:36Speaker 4: don't know you.
- 51:37Speaker 1: Okay, great. Uh. They have this pizza they make. It's
- 51:42Speaker 1: I'll show you the clip after the show on Instagram.
- 51:43Speaker 1: It's fucking so. What they do is they take like
- 51:46Speaker 1: a big it's like pant pizza, big square pant pizza. Yeah.
- 51:51Speaker 1: Then they take two of the other pans, same size,
- 51:54Speaker 1: and they put they loaded with pepperoni each everything no dough,
- 51:58Speaker 1: so no, there's dough in one of them, with sauce
- 52:00Speaker 1: and cheese, and then there's two pans of pepperoni. They
- 52:03Speaker 1: throw them all into the oven. They pull them all
- 52:05Speaker 1: out and they take these huge spatulas and they just
- 52:08Speaker 1: spatul it and they throw the fucking pepperoni on top,
- 52:10Speaker 1: and you can't see the pizza anymore. It's like that
- 52:12Speaker 1: cup and char pepperoni too. It looks so fucking delicious.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Then they take the two pants that had the fucking
- 52:18Speaker 1: pepperoni in it, they take the grease from it and
- 52:22Speaker 1: they put it in a in a squirt bottle with
- 52:24Speaker 1: half ranch and then half pepperoni grease. They shake it
- 52:27Speaker 1: up and then they just fucking douse it on top
- 52:29Speaker 1: of the pizza. Holy shit, I haven't tried it yet.
- 52:34Speaker 1: It's in Hoboken. It's like it's right, what does that mean, Hoboken,
- 52:37Speaker 1: New Jersey. Oh so it's like right on the you
- 52:39Speaker 1: go into the Lincolnunnel and it's right on the other side.
- 52:41Speaker 1: It's good. Actually, it's a cool little like bar town,
- 52:44Speaker 1: like a lot of like light little bars, Like one
- 52:46Speaker 1: barber clothes at nine, everyone goes to the next bar.
- 52:48Speaker 1: The closes at eleven, everyone goes to the next bartle
- 52:49Speaker 1: closes at one. You just kind of bar hop with everybody.
- 52:51Speaker 1: It's a pretty neat little town. That sounds amazing. It's
- 52:54Speaker 1: called Tony Baloni's and like that. That's just the tip
- 52:56Speaker 1: of the iceberg with their men. Like everything is so
- 52:59Speaker 1: like over the top, and I'm like, I got it drip.
- 53:02Speaker 1: I mean I will die like my heartburn, I'll have
- 53:04Speaker 1: it for a week. But sometimes you got to it'll work.
- 53:07Speaker 4: Just rub a little alcohol on it, right, I mean,
- 53:10Speaker 4: put some tussin on it. Is that what Chris Rock's
- 53:12Speaker 4: mom always said, he got shot, put some tussin on it. No,
- 53:15Speaker 4: I I had a really awesome experience. So my buddy
- 53:21Speaker 4: h called and he's like, tour, I'm gonna.
- 53:23Speaker 1: Have a kid. And I was like that's awesome. Paul,
- 53:24Speaker 1: Like are you did you marry or yet? You're like no.
- 53:28Speaker 1: I was like, great, good choice.
- 53:31Speaker 4: She's an awesome woman and everything. But he's like, so
- 53:32Speaker 4: we're gonna have a kid, and I want to throw
- 53:33Speaker 4: a dachelor party. You've obviously been parties. The dachelor party
- 53:38Speaker 4: is my new thing and I love it. And I'm
- 53:40Speaker 4: saying great, and he goes, I need you to plan it.
- 53:43Speaker 4: It's like great, I'm in. It's one of my like
- 53:46Speaker 4: passions in life is to plan other people's parties.
- 53:50Speaker 1: How can I spend your money? Right? Right? So I
- 53:55Speaker 1: was like, what do you want to do?
- 53:56Speaker 4: Where do you want to go? He goes, well, I'm
- 53:57Speaker 4: coming from Madrid. I've got a friend coming from London.
- 54:01Speaker 4: I've got a friend coming from Miami. You're in New
- 54:04Speaker 4: York give or take connection, and we've got a few
- 54:07Speaker 4: friends in California. So I'm thinking something East Coast is
- 54:11Speaker 4: going to be smart. And I was like, okay, Like
- 54:13Speaker 4: what if we don't do East Coast and I get
- 54:15Speaker 4: to travel? He's like, no, let's go East Coast so
- 54:18Speaker 4: narrowed it down and the winner was the Jersey Atlantic
- 54:25Speaker 4: City concept. And it's like, okay, well where do we
- 54:28Speaker 4: even fly in? So everyone's flying into like Philly or
- 54:31Speaker 4: whatever and all this stuff and say great. And at
- 54:34Speaker 4: this time I happened to be not drinking for pred idiot.
- 54:38Speaker 1: I know, we'll get into this later, but it was.
- 54:42Speaker 4: There was this ninety day period where I was convinced
- 54:45Speaker 4: by my better half that it was a good idea
- 54:49Speaker 4: pretty much the only idea if I didn't drink, and
- 54:51Speaker 4: I was like, great, I'm in. So I committed and
- 54:53Speaker 4: I went. I ended up going one hundred days.
- 54:56Speaker 1: Though, like no, no, no, not that not drinking part,
- 54:59Speaker 1: but like dealing with these guys that are so this
- 55:01Speaker 1: was the biggest burden out of that one hundred days
- 55:04Speaker 1: was going to a Dashler party.
- 55:06Speaker 4: Now I brought the Honda Pilot, like, I drove it down,
- 55:09Speaker 4: picked them up from various airports, drove them to paintball,
- 55:13Speaker 4: drove them to.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Go karting, like arrange the hotel.
- 55:16Speaker 4: And here I am walking the boardwalk at you know,
- 55:18Speaker 4: three in the morning, and it's this this asshole over here,
- 55:21Speaker 4: and this asshole over there, and here comes this stripper
- 55:24Speaker 4: trying to do this to them, and I'm just like, yeah,
- 55:26Speaker 4: I'll have another water.
- 55:27Speaker 1: This is great. I'm just watching like I'm not going
- 55:30Speaker 1: to fall asleep. And did you have any friends you
- 55:32Speaker 1: had to really like bail out or no?
- 55:34Speaker 4: No, like serious awesome parties. But there were some situations
- 55:38Speaker 4: where I'm sitting I'm like you, you might not be
- 55:41Speaker 4: in the hotel tonight, this might this might end up
- 55:44Speaker 4: in a jersey went down in August, dude, jerseys. So
- 55:48Speaker 4: the long story short is that that boardwalk is much
- 55:53Speaker 4: nicer than everyone warned me first and only time I've
- 55:55Speaker 4: been there, and I was expecting something way, way shittier.
- 55:59Speaker 1: It's not the boardwalk that sucks. It's streets behind.
- 56:03Speaker 4: If you go ten feet off, I get it, or
- 56:05Speaker 4: if you go four feet below. Apparently that got cleaned
- 56:07Speaker 4: out well. But it was incredible. Yeah, yeah, And we
- 56:15Speaker 4: had a good time. And there's so many people that.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Are doing any nice dinners. Oh multiple every casino that
- 56:22Speaker 1: had a buffet that's not a nice all of them,
- 56:25Speaker 1: all of them.
- 56:26Speaker 4: We left our different breakfasts like three four blocks.
- 56:30Speaker 1: You guys didn't do like a steak dinner at fucking
- 56:33Speaker 1: Delmonico's or anything like that. No, we're not smart. Come on,
- 56:37Speaker 1: we ate. I can't remember the name of it. We
- 56:38Speaker 1: ate in an Asian place that's owned by Gordon Ramsay. I
- 56:41Speaker 1: forget the name of it. It's one of the top
- 56:44Speaker 1: five places. It's not the one in the casino. No,
- 56:48Speaker 1: it's well, yeah, maybe I just can't remember the name
- 56:50Speaker 1: of it. It's you know, Chinchoo. I don't fucking know kitchen. Yeah, No,
- 56:55Speaker 1: it's not. No, it's an Asian fusion restaurant. But he
- 56:59Speaker 1: he's it's a He's got like probably five or six
- 57:01Speaker 1: of them in the casinos, top five restaurant I ever
- 57:05Speaker 1: been to. And our server was fucking amazing. So she's
- 57:09Speaker 1: this Asian lady, right, and she kept fucking saying she
- 57:13Speaker 1: was a tranny. Just stand on her. And so like
- 57:18Speaker 1: I'm with some Like I love all everyone that went
- 57:20Speaker 1: with us. It was not nine of us, it was
- 57:22Speaker 1: nine of us, but like I got a couple of
- 57:23Speaker 1: guys in that group that are just like, like no filter.
- 57:27Speaker 1: I'm a little bit of a filter. These guys have
- 57:28Speaker 1: no filter, and like we just everyan it was like
- 57:31Speaker 1: two hours are just laughing out. That was just such
- 57:33Speaker 1: a good time. It's such a it's such a good
- 57:35Speaker 1: thing to go away with the guys every once in
- 57:36Speaker 1: a while and just leave your you know, your regular
- 57:41Speaker 1: life behind. One of the one of the best things.
- 57:43Speaker 1: You still talk to your family every day and all that,
- 57:45Speaker 1: but like you could put the phone down at nine
- 57:47Speaker 1: o'clock because I know everyone's sleeping and I can just
- 57:50Speaker 1: go out to four in the morning and just be
- 57:52Speaker 1: an idiot, not doing anything wrong and just being an
- 57:54Speaker 1: Idiot'm losing money, I'm drinking too much, you know whatever.
- 57:56Speaker 1: I don't do drugs, so she never has to worry
- 57:58Speaker 1: about that, you know. One of the best things ever.
- 58:01Speaker 1: Like I was, I was that sober guy out of
- 58:03Speaker 1: the group. Right.
- 58:04Speaker 4: So we had this big hotel room and everyone's like
- 58:06Speaker 4: struggling to wake up, and I'm.
- 58:08Speaker 1: Up at six, right, I feel great.
- 58:10Speaker 4: You get a breakfast in the morning, I'm gonna goffe
- 58:12Speaker 4: go for a run. I come back and they're like,
- 58:15Speaker 4: I need like two hours. I was like, well, that's
- 58:16Speaker 4: gonna take too long. Today is going to be a
- 58:18Speaker 4: beach morning. What do we need to have fun on
- 58:21Speaker 4: the beach? And I just let everyone spit out lists
- 58:24Speaker 4: like well they want an umbrella, they want a football,
- 58:26Speaker 4: they want this. It's like, great, I'll go get that.
- 58:29Speaker 4: You need to be on the beach in ninety minutes.
- 58:31Speaker 4: You have ninety minutes to make it to that beach.
- 58:34Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think I could deal with
- 58:36Speaker 1: you if you want sober on my trip. Right. Oh
- 58:38Speaker 1: I was.
- 58:39Speaker 4: I was a backpack on and I would force alcohol
- 58:43Speaker 4: down your They listed all kinds of alcohol. It's like, great,
- 58:46Speaker 4: of course, yeah, you got the package store I want you.
- 58:48Speaker 4: Guys get freaking hammered, like I don't care. So I
- 58:51Speaker 4: go out and I went to four different stores to
- 58:54Speaker 4: get all this stuff. And I was like, hey, I've
- 58:56Speaker 4: only got half, but I've got it in as heavy
- 58:58Speaker 4: as shit, and these plastic bags are gonna bring Like
- 59:00Speaker 4: I'm on the boardwalk walking back and here's another show.
- 59:03Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, there's the football, and there's there's
- 59:06Speaker 1: the umbrella, and there's so I add more to the stack,
- 59:10Speaker 1: like just shove it on me. And I'm walking down
- 59:13Speaker 1: the boardwalk with all this stuff. I look like the
- 59:16Speaker 1: worst tourist that doesn't know what he's doing in the world.
- 59:18Speaker 4: And I'm carrying everything and then my friends come out
- 59:21Speaker 4: of our hotel and I see them and they're like
- 59:23Speaker 4: one hundred yards in front of me, and they turn
- 59:25Speaker 4: and I yell and they can't hear me. Just drop everything,
- 59:28Speaker 4: pull out the phone and was like, turn the fuck around.
- 59:30Speaker 4: I'm back here and grab all this shit because I'm
- 59:32Speaker 4: done caring right right then we hung out on the
- 59:35Speaker 4: beach for seven hours and it was amazing, and we
- 59:37Speaker 4: played flay. We played touch football against kids easily twenty
- 59:42Speaker 4: years younger than us, and I have to tell you
- 59:44Speaker 4: it hurt.
- 59:45Speaker 1: It hurt like crazy.
- 59:47Speaker 2: Oh.
- 59:47Speaker 1: It was like it's so hard contact.
- 59:50Speaker 4: There's not contact, right, it's just me physically moving and
- 59:54Speaker 4: my friend's moving at that speed.
- 59:56Speaker 1: We got crushed. Just physically.
- 59:58Speaker 4: We might have won, we might have lost. I don't remember,
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: but mentally, mentally I lost.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: These twenty year olds are just fucking bouncing back and
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: we're like, oh my god, I can't move for three
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I kind.
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: Of felt like we were in like top gun on
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: the beach. Maverick's not the first one, Mike, Yeah, what
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: time is it? But but the beaches the next hour.
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: It it felt like I was like in.
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: An old folks Yeah, guys, so we're not going out tonight.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean the aces, Like you know,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: I hadn't been in like ten years. I was. I
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: wasn't like impressed, but I was like, you.
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: Know, it's not that bad down here with how much
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: people talk smash about it.
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: I was impressed. But if you go, if you go
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: anywhere away from the board like we drove through it,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: like we saw a lot of it, you know, as
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: you're getting to the fucking we had an airbnb. It
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: was at the end of the boardwalk. Oh so it
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: was a nice house. We run it like nine of us,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: you know. So whatever. But a couple of other things.
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: I want to get into. See what Home Depot's doing.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: So I read this today actually this morning at Home
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: Depot versus Low's. No, no, just the home Deep. It's
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: a corporate mandate they just put out and that is
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: everybody that works for Home Depot that is just below
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: the CEO has to work one eight hour shift on
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: the floor once a quarter. Interesting, right, that's like Ben
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: and Jerry's. So apparently Tesla has done this in the past,
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: and there was another company that did it too, but
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: maybe it was Ben and Jerry's. I don't know, But
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: like I think it's phenomenal and like, like the article
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: went in to say, like you know, like so you
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: could be the VP. You know, you can work from home,
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: you could be a VP of finance, whatever you might
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: want to be in that company. Yeah, part of me
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: is like, well, what are they gonna do? Just go
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: like they didn't even know what to do, Like do
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: they have to be trained to work this eight hour shift?
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: They don't have a clue. The don't have a fucking
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: clue what's going on? But have you ever walked into
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: a home depot Lows and you ask I've asked people
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: at Low's. Granted it's a different company, but I've asked
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: people at Low's like where can I find this? It's
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: the same you know what They've told me, different ownership.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: You know what they told me, Oh, if you go
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: on your app, you'll find what isle it's in, Like
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: what the fuck you're doing work in here? Then? Like
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: come on? So, so I think if they put like
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: these big wigs in these positions, maybe the fucking this
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: new workforce that we have that is absolute garbage. Outside
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: of the bartender and the wages I had last night,
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: they were really busy. I feel bad for them still,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: I'm going back. It's Chili's. But yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: no apple Bee's around here anymore. That's a Minnesota thing.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: I resorted back to my roots. Well, you know, welcome
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: to the neighborhood. What's what's their slogan and here your
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: your family or no, that's that's fucking Olive Garden. What's
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: good in the neighborhood or eating good in the neighborhood?
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: Eating good in the gardens one of the best date
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: night places possible because my wife doesn't drink, so she
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: just says the soup and salad on with my.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Auentre, and my first drink beats her bill. We were
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: talking about Alive Guarden yesterday too, like, oh the places.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Their food is garbage, but but they're breadsticks and unlimited breadsticks.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Soup salad is not bad. The nochi soup isn't bad either. Yeah,
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: I got there. Like Italian Trio, I'm like, this is
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: what the fun? Why am I? Here's so many good
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: Italian restaurants in town? I go to all of the mean,
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: it's been a long time.
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: I love that concept. I didn't hear this, I didn't
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: read this. I don't know about it, but like to
- 1:03:31Speaker 4: put people in the ground. The problem is that in
- 1:03:34Speaker 4: today today's world, if you want to get a raise,
- 1:03:37Speaker 4: if you want to make more money, if you want
- 1:03:38Speaker 4: to progress, it's not from within.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: You have to switch. And it's true in my industry.
- 1:03:44Speaker 4: I'm sure it's true in Sikorski, I'm sure it's true
- 1:03:46Speaker 4: at Stonebridge everything. If you want to get a promotion,
- 1:03:49Speaker 4: you have to switch companies. And if you do that
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: quickly and appropriately and with the right bullshit or whatever
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: you want to call it, bullshit, Yeah, you you move
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: up and you go from making you know, fifty grand
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: a year to seventy to ninety to one twenty to.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: Three fifty to wherever you're at.
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: But if you stay at the same company, and you're
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: at a phenomenal employee, and you work your ass off
- 1:04:10Speaker 4: and you commit your entire life and you give up
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: weekends and holidays, you'll go from fifty to sixty, maybe
- 1:04:17Speaker 4: sixty five, maybe seventy, and you bounce getting.
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: Those four percent raises every year and you're at three hundred.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: So it's it's the only way to do it.
- 1:04:25Speaker 4: So I love the idea of putting executives on the ground,
- 1:04:30Speaker 4: like working there I've been at my company for eleven
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: and a half years, I think some number around there.
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: And I used to be in the garage and I
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: used to have the chemical coding so that I could
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: sell something and put it and I would put it
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: on the dinrail and put the wires together and close
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: the box and ship it to South America so that
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: when it rains, it doesn't fail because I sprayed it
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: with the coding, and like it's way against health codes
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: and everything that you would too. But you know, it
- 1:04:59Speaker 4: was twelve years ago, and the fact that I know
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: what's required and what's necessary and how you plug things
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: and what you do means so much. But these people
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: at home, depot the executives that they don't know. They
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: think you're just minions, and they don't even appreciate what
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: it means to stand on your feet for eight hours.
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: I don't care if you have to know the product
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: or not. Just go stand on your feet for eight.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: Hours in an orange fucking vest and then deal with
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: the fucking people that walk in there.
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: Even more, have some of these guys talk for eight hours,
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: I mean interact with customers using their vocal cords for
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: eight hours. When you finish that day, you will be
- 1:05:37Speaker 4: physically exhausted because it's not what you're used to and
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: you're not trained for that. And those are different muscles.
- 1:05:43Speaker 4: Granted they're very small, tiny muscles, but like if you
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: talk for a conference for six hours or eight hours,
- 1:05:51Speaker 4: you were exhausted at the end of the day and
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: you can't handle it.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: So I love that concept.
- 1:05:56Speaker 4: But do I bring up Ben and Jerry's because they
- 1:05:58Speaker 4: had a const they had an idea when they started
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: the company, and I googled it real quick, and I
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: think it was five to one. No one in the
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: company will make more than five times anyone else in
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: the company. Now think about Ben and Jerry's. If you
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: are serving and scooping ice cream at sixty dollars a
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: cup at sixteen years old or whatever it is, you
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: will make one fifth of what the CEO of the company,
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: that global whatever will make. So these people are making
- 1:06:26Speaker 4: like seventy five dollars an hour fifty dollars. Someone's going
- 1:06:29Speaker 4: to google me and check it right right that that
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: fifteen year old, that seventeen year old is now a
- 1:06:34Speaker 4: forty year old who's a professional. And it's like, yeah,
- 1:06:37Speaker 4: I'm happy to serve ice cream and I love being here.
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: And now the company was phenomenal and great and just
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: top notch, and then it sold off and that was
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: not true as of a number of years.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: But still the concept.
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: Worked because there's this equality concept, like five to one.
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: It's still a big number. You make one hundred bucks
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: in I'll make five hundred bucks an hour. There's a
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: big difference there. But at least you're with me if this.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: This go all the way down to like that sixteen
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: year old making minimum wage.
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: There's no minimum wage at Ben and Jerry's five to one.
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: No one in the company, So what do you go in.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: And is starting at So if you go in and
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: starting it was like forty bucks an hour for a
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: fucking sixteen year old, quite.
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: Higher those because forty year olds were applying, so they
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: got top notch talent.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: So it was a great company. And then it sold off. Right,
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: who wants a alfizer?
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: I have no idea something like that, right, I mean
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: I could google it, but I don't focus on my Viva.
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: Yeah, focus on the Viva. Yeah yeah, yeah. No one
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: in Viva makes five to one. But that's the concept.
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: No one anywhere in the world makes five to one, right.
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: But that was the concept that they instilled, and it
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: changed the industry. It changed the concept of industry because
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: here this this ceo, this board was like, hey, it's
- 1:07:57Speaker 4: unrealistic for me to make five times more than any
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: anyone else in my company. Company policy go right. And
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: then as he continued, Ben and Jerry's wasn't that big
- 1:08:06Speaker 4: when they started, and then it blew up, right, and.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: They were like, this is unreal. So it didn't blow
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: up like the late eighties early nineties. I don't even know.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: I mean I remember it as a kid. I remember
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: my dad got it a lot. But you know they're
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: from rom Us. My father wasn't far from where they started,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: and I remember it, and uh, he used to get
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: a chunky monkey all the time.
- 1:08:26Speaker 4: They have so many good ones and the small little
- 1:08:28Speaker 4: I'm a chubby, hubby guy that you're like, oh, this
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: should be for like three people.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: But I don't need it anymore because they're all fucking
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: I'll take two.
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: Well, I mean it was ten years ago when they
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: changed this policy, so this thing hasn't been around.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: No, I'm just taking at the trend.
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: Like they tried to start a movement and it failed
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: because someone bought them.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought up Ben and Jerry's because
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: the other night.
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: I had Hoggin'dos, right, another great brand, so that I'll
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: buy out of the freezer, which everyone's a dollar less
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: than the other day.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So it's been sitting in the freezer for
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: like a week. The other night, I'm like watching the
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: Yankee game or something. I'm like, eh, let me have
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: little ice cream. I don't you don't. I know, I
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: don't look at it, but I don't really eat that
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: kind of food a lot. But every once in a
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: while I have a treat. And it was chocolate peanut butter.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: It's chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls in it. Right,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: that sounds cool. So I open up the lid. You know,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: he's scraping off the top part, you know, wan eating it,
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: watching whatever, blah blah blah. And then I get about
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: so it's a pint. So I get about like down
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: to here, like the first layer, and then there's this
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: first layer of peanut butter.
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: Oh it's not mixed, it's layered. Well, no, like I
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: hit my first peanut butter trunk. Okay, okay, yeah, so
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: on whatever.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: I kind of peel it off, and I love frozen
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: peanut butter. It's like one of my favorite fucking things.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: So then I'm like, I'm like sitting next to Braiden,
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: my girlfriend's son, and he's got his own ice cream
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: going on, and I'm like, I'm like tapping all around
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: the top of the lid like it's fucking what. It's
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: like a big like chunk of peanut butter the whole thing. Listen.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: So now I'm like an archaeologist, so I taming around
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: the outside of the fucking hoganas thing. It ended up
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: being a fucking chunk of peanut butter like this, which
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: I wasn't upset about, but it's.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: Still in my free I couldn't even get through it.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like hammering my spoon at it. There's
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: like literally no ice cream in the thing, which is fine,
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: I'll take that. So now I got this like big
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: chunk of peanut butter, like frozen frozen. I'm not lying
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: to you, it was. It was the whole canister outside
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: that top layer.
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: So they're mixing process failed, the process optimizations improvements, but yes, yes,
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: but I'm not mad.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: You like it, dude, I got I got your whenever
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: I got a little sweet tooth. You're a puppy, you
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: hold Yeah, you need to the side. Just peanut butter.
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: How many links to the center, Like holy shit, ow,
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: oh my god, that's amazing.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't know, it was weird. Like
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, this is pretty cool.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Like there's no that slipped through the cracks. No, it's
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: not normal. That's not normal. It was just it was
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: like somewhere butter in the middle of my fucking bipe.
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: But you have to throw out a positive note, like
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: the varieties of flavors that these ice cream companies have
- 1:11:11Speaker 4: come up with is absolutely phenomenal.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: Because so I'm a Giffords guy. I don't even know
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: so Gifford's is. I believe it's out of Boston or Massachusetts,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: because they have four well, they have a bunch of flavors,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: but they have four that are related to the Patriots,
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: the Bruins, the Red Sox, and the Celtics. Oh jesus,
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: so like they have like it's called so the Patriot.
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: One is called do your Job, which is Bill Belichick's
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: was like, do your Job was his slogan and it's
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: like your cookie dough whatever you know this, I forget
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: what the other ones are, but like they only sell
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: it a Adams though, which is right down the street
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: from me. But what's they're not Bill a chick doing. Now.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: I've seen him positions game shows and some he's on
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: some podcast circuits and yeah, he's he goes on the
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: Pat mcavie show like once a week. He'll be coaching
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: next year. He wants that record, so he'll either be
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: in my guest. My three guesses are Dallas Philly. Dallas
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: needs help. Both of those two teams have kind of
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: a ready made you know, you don't need a lot
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: of pieces.
- 1:12:11Speaker 4: I think Philly are more ready than Dallas.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: I would think so too, I agree. And uh, Now
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: the big rumor is the race. He's used to ship weather.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: So yeah, is Brady I mean Brady and now he
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: owns Oakland or five percent of it, but Brady does. Yeah,
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: he's now a five percent owner of the Raiders, the
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, the Vegas Raiders.
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: Yeah, they just dropped Tropicana, right. Yes, that was the
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: last of that was the last of the old of
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: the sixties. That's that's where my bachelor party was. We
- 1:12:43Speaker 4: got one of the nine penthouses, the Tropicana.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: It was very cheap. It was like three hundred bucks.
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: A night, right right, yeah, two story, No one's there.
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: Hotel elevators are always available. Yes, all right, one more
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: topic before I get to my due for the week. Yes,
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: the so the So the WNBA is.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Going to game five. I don't even know if you
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: follow it. I don't just happen to.
- 1:13:10Speaker 4: Know, Like so, just like a follow every sport. If
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: it's on in the room that I'm at, I'll watch it.
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: So they're going to game five. It's like New York
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: against Minnesota something. I don't even know. The links the links, yes, yeah,
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: so they're one game away from being the w NBA champions.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: I'm all in for links. I think the game is
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: it's going to have the games tonight or tomorrow, but anyway,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: it's probably tomorrow.
- 1:13:32Speaker 7: Uh.
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: Their profit loss margin whatever you call it, came out
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: and the WNBA for the twenty eighth consecutive year has
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: lost money, and this year was forty million dollars.
- 1:13:45Speaker 4: They lost so forty who's their CFO?
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, so there's a subsidy of the NBA. Ah,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: I'm not losing money. There no noized but they're not
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: making money. But the so the owners of the teams themselves,
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: they're individuals, they're they're on their own. So they fought
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: for all this ship this year. They fought for you know,
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: chartered planes, they fought for higher salaries. They fought for
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: all this ship. And they you know, some people, some
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: of the really radical people come out and say, you know,
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: like the pay gap between the men and the women
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: is observed, blah blah blah. Dude, you have no concept
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: of what the NBA is compared to the w NBA
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: and exactly men. There's there's no feminists going to these games,
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. So you get they get this
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: beam of light that shot through the clouds this year,
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark, and they don't know how to fucking use her.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: They let her get murdered on the court. They let
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: her get hacked and fouled and punched and beaten up.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: She wills her way through it. I was there a
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: big Kaitlyn Clark fan till this year. I watched her
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: color prob yukon guy. So it wasn't like eh, but
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: I'm a smart, savvy guy, and I swear I could
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: run this league better. Put her at the forefront. They took.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: They didn't put her on the Olympic team, which is
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: still to me the most mind boggling move because once
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: you no one watched you put her on it, her
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: world's going, that's what you need. You need space. Yeah,
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: so they lose another forty million. Now the owners are grumbling,
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: They're like, how much longer can we do this? Like
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: like they're all billionaires, don't get me wrong, but they
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: don't like losing money. So I'm gonna jump in.
- 1:15:28Speaker 4: I don't even know what your question is yet, but
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: it's not a question.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: Let's be smart.
- 1:15:31Speaker 4: So each owner made money this year. Forty million dollars
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: that you're talking about is probably a line item on
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: a P and L somewhere. And what's happening is people
- 1:15:43Speaker 4: are singling in on here's this P and L and
- 1:15:46Speaker 4: this negative forty million, and the same thing happens at
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: my company. Here's a project we lost money on commissioning
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: right here. Oh my god, we spend so much more
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: money on commissioning. Oh my god, oh my god, oh
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: my god. And the view is this screen right here
- 1:16:00Speaker 4: of the single line forty million dollars lost on the year.
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: But they don't look at the big picture where it says, oh,
- 1:16:08Speaker 4: look whatever NBA or bigger company or whatever, it is
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: high level, like we made eighty billion, Like okay, this
- 1:16:16Speaker 4: line item lost money because we assigned costs here and
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: hours here and time year. But then this over here
- 1:16:24Speaker 4: and this over and in WNBA might be different. It
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: might be okay, the women's organization lost money, but the
- 1:16:31Speaker 4: men's organization made money. But this marketing over here but money.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: Right, I know what you mean. So like, look at
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: the big picture. If w the NBA doesn't give two
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: shits because they're making right, forty million is nothing. That's
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: a single owner, but the owners single playoff games for them.
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: But the owners of each team, they're not subsidized by
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: the NBA, just the league is. Well, so these guys
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: aren't making the money they're they're having so in their portfolio,
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: the Minnesota Links maybe they're making Maybe the Links are
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: making money this year because they made it to the
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: finals and they're getting ticket gate sales and merchandise sales.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: But that's all. Merchandise sales are funny because I think
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: I believe all that is that is circumvented throughout the league.
- 1:17:13Speaker 4: Look bigger picture, right, maybe merchandise isn't part of that
- 1:17:16Speaker 4: forty million dollar loss. Like, if you look big picture,
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: I can guarantee you no owner is losing forty million
- 1:17:23Speaker 4: dollars in a year.
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: Well, no, not one owner. It's spread around. I mean
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: that's as a league.
- 1:17:28Speaker 4: How many teams are there, I don't know, it's got
- 1:17:30Speaker 4: to be more than forty. No, it's like twenty twenty
- 1:17:34Speaker 4: two million. So there's thirty two in the NBA, there's
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: probably eighteen to twenty. And now they're looking to expand
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: the problem is.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: I don't know. They can't. They can't get out of
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: their own way. They botched them, for sure. They botched
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: their fucking Caitlyn Clark.
- 1:17:46Speaker 4: Rookie, destroyed that they had such an opportunity such I
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: knew nothing about WNBA.
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: Until she put eyes on it. And they don't they
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: play it the most like they will literally like have
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: the playoff game or like their big marquee game on
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: a Sunday against like Tomorrow's like Kansas City against the
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: forty nine ers big game. Tom Brady's the announcer for it,
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: you know, like this is the game of a year
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: thus far.
- 1:18:15Speaker 4: And that's probably when the game going to say a
- 1:18:18Speaker 4: party party can do anything against my homes, Like, well, they.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: Don't play each other though, you know what I mean.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is like they're let's I actually
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: want to now it's peak managers. When is this game?
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: I I'm just curious.
- 1:18:33Speaker 4: So I get this all the time, Like this line
- 1:18:36Speaker 4: item looks bad and I say, that's awesome. I don't care.
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: Show me the big picture. Is that project profitable? Is
- 1:18:42Speaker 4: that division profitable? Like what other factors? How much did
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: you make in marketing? How much should you make in
- 1:18:47Speaker 4: beer sales at your arena that don't show up on
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: this P and L, which is really you're more business
- 1:18:55Speaker 4: than when we talk about beer sales and an arena.
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: I can't buy a beer at most college games, and
- 1:19:01Speaker 4: I think that's wrong and I'm old now I get it,
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: but still I'm going to a college basketball game.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Yukon for example, sell beer?
- 1:19:08Speaker 4: Well I should. It's a disaster. Was it was it
- 1:19:11Speaker 4: this year? Because I went last year?
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Last year I went, they had the para beach.
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: There was it was a little cage and I walk
- 1:19:20Speaker 4: up and like, hey, I need to get my kid
- 1:19:22Speaker 4: like a cotton candy, because I see you got a
- 1:19:23Speaker 4: little box cotton candy and I need one of those
- 1:19:26Speaker 4: like Mike and Ikes, and I need two beers and
- 1:19:29Speaker 4: my wife wants a sprite and like, oh, sorry, sir,
- 1:19:32Speaker 4: we don't do beer. I was like, which booth do
- 1:19:35Speaker 4: I go to for beer? It looks like the only one.
- 1:19:37Speaker 4: It's like, no, you can't buy beer in this arena?
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: What right? I mean? I get the college campus ones
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: a little bit, because there's a lot of underage kids
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: and they're just going to pass off the beers. And
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: when they sit in the stands, I get. I get that.
- 1:19:53Speaker 4: It's I still say, so easy to address that there's
- 1:19:56Speaker 4: maybe five thousand people in the stands and in a
- 1:19:59Speaker 4: basketball you can stay seventy five college students are underage, correct,
- 1:20:04Speaker 4: But fifty percent of the people at games, they're not
- 1:20:06Speaker 4: college students at these basketball games that I've gone to
- 1:20:11Speaker 4: for Yukon, All right, Like, well, no, you're talking about talking.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: About it was Yale. I was at a Yale. Five
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: thousand people went to a Yale basketball game.
- 1:20:19Speaker 4: No, they didn't know it was and they were winning
- 1:20:21Speaker 4: and they were incredible and they won, right like they
- 1:20:24Speaker 4: won the division last year when I was there.
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: Oh, they went to the tournament.
- 1:20:28Speaker 7: And then they went to.
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: The tournament because they won the division, but they shouldn't
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: have because they were nowhere nearest as the rest of
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: the teams. But they won the IVY League. That's so. Yes.
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: I was there and we're in the old school wood
- 1:20:39Speaker 4: seats and there's this like metal thing and you could
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: not buy a beer at a Yale game, and I
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: was shocked.
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: So I think that was a rule for the longest
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: time NCAA wide. I think they lifted the band, but
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: not every college is caught onto it yet the minute, Like,
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: believe me, within three years they'll all do it because
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: it's money. That's just follow them money. They're gonna realize
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: sentivises people that go right, same thing with the W
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: because they're all gonna do.
- 1:21:05Speaker 4: I want to go, well, I want to be here,
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: like I want to go watch a sports game. I
- 1:21:08Speaker 4: want to watch some entertaining. I don't want to sit
- 1:21:11Speaker 4: there and be bored and have a seltzer.
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: Right right whoa Oh you mean like an actual seltzer,
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: A heart seltzer. Sorry, I want to have a water
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: here a Seltzer guy. Sorry, Sorry did I say that?
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: No?
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: All right, so's I want when I go to mister
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: sponsor Yale come on, no, no, no, single to my turkey trot. Yeah, no, no,
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: these guys, these guys, they're not afraid to sponsor people.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: They sponsored Nessen, which is the Red Sox and the Bruins.
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: They sponsored Tampa Bay Rays. They sponsored the Olympics this year.
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: They sponsored uh uh, well, they sponsored that NASCAR driver's car,
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: but she got fired, so I don't know who's driving
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: that car now. But anyway, all right, but yeah, it's
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: been a couple of weeks since I had the show,
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: so I gotta get back into my douche of the week.
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I want you to know if you
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: know who this guy is. His name is Joseph Malanowski. No,
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: I didn't think you'd know the name. Sure, his nickname
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: is Lieutenant Dan. Yes, I saw it, Okay, yes, so
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: Lieutenant Dan. He got arrested. Yes, well, not only that.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: So he's the guy that had the boat when Hurricane
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: was roaring through Florida and he refused to get out
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: of the boat. So it became like a quick Internet sensation,
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: if you will, and everyone wanted to know how he
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: fared and did he make it out alive and how
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: is his boat and everything. So after the hurricane clears
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: and heads out to the Atlantic. I don't know if
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: it was like a podcast or somebody a TikToker or
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: who somebody went and got his phone number and called
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: him and they did a live like Instagram live with
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: him on his boat and everything's great, and I don't
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: know how it came out. I don't know the context
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: of it, but he just dropped the N word like
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: on his live Instagram feed and like completely destroyed any
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: ounce of fame he he had was gone canceled. And
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: then he got arrested for like he had like two failure.
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: Who appears in court? Uh, his boat wasn't his boat
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: wasn't registered, like just all these like it wasn't like
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: he's not a murderer or anything, but like all these
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: like little fucking things. So literally, like two days before
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: the hurricane hits, He's like an Internet like this, how
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: fastest can happen? He's an Internet sensation. Everyone's talking about it.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: It's hashtag Lieutenant Dan Forrest Gump's fucking movies are going
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: up in reviews and views again like all this shit
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: and then he just like this is so Florida for
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: you though, like people who Florida, Like if you go
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: through any news cycle, like just go to like odd
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: news or you know, I used to do a bit
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: when I first started this, like like like what was
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: the weirdest Florida story I heard today? And like this
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: is it. It's this guy like he had a chance
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: to probably upgrade his boat to a yacht, you know,
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: and actually get a house, and he just fucking messed
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: it up overnight. And that was that was sitting in
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: the jail cell because he had all these failure to
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: like if he didn't say that word, and and then
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: like teams or I don't know, like somebody came to
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: him and offered him something like that ship would have
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: just been brushed to. Okay, don't worry about your favor
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: to appear you're a star now, like you know, like
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: howk to a girl? You know, like I was, yeah,
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: a perfect example of how podcasts like number three in
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: the water is she doing? I've been grinding this ship
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: out for four years. She's talking about spitting and spitting
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: on a dick and I fucking like and all of
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: a sudden, she's fast, she's she's lived it up. It's
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: just such a crazy world.
- 1:24:41Speaker 8: So like this guy Douche to the Week, like you
- 1:24:43Speaker 8: had it, but these fucking people from Florida are too
- 1:24:46Speaker 8: fucking dumb to realize what they have. Like seriously, like
- 1:24:50Speaker 8: go through some of these like these like police reports
- 1:24:52Speaker 8: are these like like odd but true stories, and it's
- 1:24:55Speaker 8: always someone from Florida that like called the cops on
- 1:24:59Speaker 8: himself because there's drug dealer fucking didn't give his money
- 1:25:02Speaker 8: back or something. You know, Like these are some of
- 1:25:04Speaker 8: the stories you get out of Florida, and it's just
- 1:25:06Speaker 8: it's just so hilarious.
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: I'm like, of course this guy's from Florida.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: Of course that's what he said. Of course he's got
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: three outstating arrest. Just of course, Like that's Florida for you.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: That's my duche of the week. Douche of the Week
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: is solid. I like that one. Yeah.
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: The whole time you're talking about this, like, oh, he
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: could take a masterclass from Hakatua.
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: Right, be a guest on her show. Dude. It's like seriously, like.
- 1:25:29Speaker 4: How do you talk about spitting on a dick, and
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: next thing, you's a millionaire.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: You're a podcast fucking millionaire. Like she's literally getting paid
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: to show up to places and she'll get booed off stage,
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: but still she'll go away. I think she's already fair.
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: I think she's already fading. But I don't like, I don't.
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: I don't think she has any personality. Actually listened to
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: some of her show and I'm like, well, it's not
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: for me, like whatever, Like I'm not for everybody either,
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: so I don't give a fuck.

- 1:27:20Speaker 4: mix it together, almond joy. Oh my god, I'm so delightful.
- 1:27:24Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's just it.
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: I don't know. No, I don't, I don't. I'm not
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: that cool. I put them on ice at work till
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: we finished our shift. I fucking ice cold crack that.
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: I'm not a big beer guy, you know, I just not.
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: I mean, but those are the kind of beers I like, though.
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: I like the stouts, the porters, the darker beers.
- 1:27:40Speaker 4: And last last shout out is that like all the
- 1:27:43Speaker 4: sponsors every year, have made such a difference for this
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: event because in the first three years, one percent of
- 1:27:49Speaker 4: all the race registrations, the donations on site or on
- 1:27:52Speaker 4: the website, everything that has gone directly to charities like
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: Avery's Army, Purple Pantry, and Milford Public Schools, and all
- 1:28:00Speaker 4: of those costs, which are huge, have been paid for
- 1:28:02Speaker 4: by local sponsors. So we're talking about NEPKO, We're talking
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: about one hundred other sponsors that have helped us out
- 1:28:09Speaker 4: all on the back of the shirt or on the website,
- 1:28:12Speaker 4: and we're talking a huge amount of money. I mean
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: last year, I think it was eighteen thousand dollars in
- 1:28:17Speaker 4: sponsorships that covered the cost of the shirts, the police,
- 1:28:20Speaker 4: the portable toilets, the signs, the everything that is required
- 1:28:26Speaker 4: the permits to make all of this happen. So if
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: you are a sponsor, we're looking for you, but more importantly,
- 1:28:33Speaker 4: if you're a participant, we want you to be there
- 1:28:35Speaker 4: and we'll help you out. If money is a thing
- 1:28:39Speaker 4: will make it happen, we want more people there as
- 1:28:40Speaker 4: opposed to more money.
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: So I say after the show, we grab a viva.
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: Each we take the yard sign, we go, put it
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: out front. I'm in, walk right out. I'm in.
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: I've got thirty five in my trunks. If anyone else
- 1:28:51Speaker 4: needs one, put it out.
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: Why put akmala sign out there when you can put
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: a Milford Turkey Trot sign out there, Dude, I'm finding
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: that right next to anything.
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: I don't care if you're Trump or Kummela or whatever, like,
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: we'll just put a try. It's so fun to talk
- 1:29:04Speaker 4: to people when I show up and I'm like, hey,
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: you've got a really nice yard. Do you mind if
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: I put this sign up there? And like, oh, I
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: don't know, and they're all defensive. I'm like, no, no, no,
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: calm down.
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not political. It's for charity.
- 1:29:15Speaker 4: There's nothing other than good that we're trying to do.
- 1:29:19Speaker 4: And the whole thing is let's do good because we're
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: here and there's a limited amount of time that we're wrong.
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: We don't have that much time.
- 1:29:24Speaker 4: If you can do good, I don't care what side
- 1:29:27Speaker 4: of the fence you are, what cigarette brand you smoke,
- 1:29:30Speaker 4: I don't care.
