WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.940 Hey, guys. Welcome to Good News York. It's Monday. 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.459 We're awake. I don't know if Mike's awake. I'm 00:00:05.459 --> 00:00:08.699 not. I am, uh... I went to the Metallica concert. 00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:10.359 Oh. Wearing the shirt. We're gonna have to get 00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.060 it. He's wearing the shirt. So it's official. 00:00:12.179 --> 00:00:14.019 Yeah. Just so you know I went. You had to prove 00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:17.519 it. Yeah, but this is my first time going to, 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.879 uh, see Metallica in my 40s. And we'll talk about 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.760 it. It was vastly different. Old man Metallica? 00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:27.149 Yeah. But I mean... I was the old man, too. It 00:00:27.149 --> 00:00:30.050 wasn't just them. No, I understand. So I don't 00:00:30.050 --> 00:00:33.149 drink anymore, but I think I'm hungover. Like, 00:00:33.390 --> 00:00:35.229 I literally feel... I told my wife, I'm like, 00:00:35.390 --> 00:00:39.490 I think... I feel like the last time I felt like 00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:42.530 this was when I was hungover. And that was two 00:00:42.530 --> 00:00:45.229 nights ago, so I'm still reeling. But I'm excited. 00:00:46.350 --> 00:00:47.869 You know, you get old and these things happen. 00:00:48.909 --> 00:00:51.189 But enough about that. We have an incredible 00:00:51.189 --> 00:00:54.060 guest. Waiting on the line. We don't want to 00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:56.979 make her wait no longer. She's being incredibly 00:00:56.979 --> 00:01:00.119 courteous for joining us Danny if you want to 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.439 pop her up there. Hey, oh there. She is welcome 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.480 to my Very I don't want to say old friend because 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.840 that doesn't sound right, but my very longtime 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:16.599 friend Candice Candice you've got I'd love you 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.219 to just kind of introduce yourself and we're 00:01:18.219 --> 00:01:20.000 going to talk a little bit about this really 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.920 cool new thing that you've got going on. I genuinely 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.920 don't know anything about it, which is why I 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.120 wanted to have you on. And please tell us who 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.980 you are, what you do. Okay. My name is Candice 00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:32.439 Jared. I'm the co -founder of Xcova, which is 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.599 a tech startup that uses blockchain to completely 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.459 reimagine the payment system. Now what that means 00:01:39.459 --> 00:01:43.120 for like regular people is that We're going to 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.780 make frictionless, very easy payments that have 00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:49.260 extremely low fees, that are super fast and secure, 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.579 that you can do cross border. I mean, it not 00:01:52.579 --> 00:01:55.420 only, it has benefits for a whole spectrum of 00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:58.299 people, but you can think, you know, small business 00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:01.439 owners. I don't know if you guys know about like 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.799 PayPal on Stripes fees are like, ridiculously 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.640 high, like upwards of 3 % nearly. You lose right 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.919 off the top of all revenue coming in. So our 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:16.319 product not only fixes that, but also fixes instability 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.419 for places in the world that are hit by economic 00:02:20.419 --> 00:02:22.599 uncertainty, rampant inflation, stuff like that. 00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:27.300 So I don't want to get too boring with it. No, 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.719 it's all right. We're passionate about it because 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.199 we really are on multiple levels changing the 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.409 world. So that's our goal. That's awesome. Um, 00:02:36.530 --> 00:02:38.289 and I want to, I want to learn a little bit more 00:02:38.289 --> 00:02:40.150 about the details, but before that, I'd love 00:02:40.150 --> 00:02:42.710 to hear just how did you come to this? How did 00:02:42.710 --> 00:02:46.050 you get into this sort of, uh, venture? It's 00:02:46.050 --> 00:02:52.409 been a, it's been a winding road. Yeah. Um, so 00:02:52.409 --> 00:03:00.969 I guess how we arrived. All right. So it's, I 00:03:00.969 --> 00:03:03.090 don't know if I want to start back at the cradle. 00:03:05.180 --> 00:03:08.060 And don't worry, we can edit this if you need 00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:10.680 a moment. No, no, it's okay. I guess I guess 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:17.240 I'll start here. So we had originally created 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:23.840 a different invention, which is like a decentralized 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.520 wireless to allow blockchain transactions to 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.870 happen without the internet. Oh, wow. which is 00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:33.789 huge because that could really help like last 00:03:33.789 --> 00:03:35.729 mile places that have problems getting access 00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:40.849 to the internet. Absolutely. And with very inexpensive 00:03:40.849 --> 00:03:44.310 infrastructure. So we invented this thing. And 00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:48.349 then as we were talking about the logistics of 00:03:48.349 --> 00:03:51.810 creating blockchain transactions, we dove deeper 00:03:51.810 --> 00:03:56.650 into that and thought, well, we need an app to 00:03:56.650 --> 00:04:00.860 do this. So we created like a super app. See, 00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:04.780 here's the problem. My co -founder, who's my 00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:06.620 husband, we're husband and wife team making this, 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.439 we really believe that blockchain is too complicated 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.560 for normal people. I mean, we've both been in 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.100 the field for many years, but it's very hard 00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:22.540 to even onboard somebody who has metamask, who... 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.620 is in the space. It's difficult to onboard them 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:27.519 from one chain to another, let alone somebody 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.899 who's never touched it at all. It's intimidating. 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.500 It's complicated. It's easy for people to get 00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:35.740 scammed. I've even seen people who are really 00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:40.560 like good at crypto get scammed. So we decided 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.360 that what we were going to do is create this 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.660 product that is completely abstracted. And what 00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:50.980 we mean by abstracted is that it looks like Venmo 00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:53.699 or PayPal. Like you don't even see the cryptocurrency 00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:56.899 in it. It just runs on blockchain underneath. 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.500 So this is solving a big problem. People who 00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:03.019 want to get the benefits of blockchain, like 00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:05.819 without the complicated learning curve. Sure. 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.160 So this is, this is what we set out to solve 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.000 and we really did it. So we've got our public 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.620 beta up, which we released like maybe about two 00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:16.779 weeks ago. Very exciting. So it's up if I can 00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:19.279 say where it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. 00:05:20.649 --> 00:05:25.370 It's beta .excova .com, so B -E -T -A dot X -K 00:05:25.370 --> 00:05:28.629 -O -V -A dot com. Anybody can go and try it out. 00:05:29.529 --> 00:05:33.189 So basically what you do is you can send cryptocurrency 00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:36.089 with an email address. Right now it's running 00:05:36.089 --> 00:05:38.970 on a stable coin. So stable coins are cryptocurrencies 00:05:38.970 --> 00:05:41.990 that are pegged to a fiat currency like the US 00:05:41.990 --> 00:05:46.490 dollar, euro. And when I talked earlier about 00:05:46.490 --> 00:05:52.050 solving the idea of economic instability in places 00:05:52.050 --> 00:05:54.350 hit by rampant inflation, this is how they would 00:05:54.350 --> 00:05:59.329 do it. They would choose to, if someone was hit 00:05:59.329 --> 00:06:05.410 by war or like a crumbling government, or even 00:06:05.410 --> 00:06:10.889 just for other factors, their currency was very 00:06:10.889 --> 00:06:13.089 quickly devalued, they could choose to transact 00:06:13.089 --> 00:06:15.670 in a more stable currency like the dollar or 00:06:15.670 --> 00:06:21.449 the euro. So we're talking like in South America, 00:06:23.329 --> 00:06:26.949 Southeast Asia, Africa, these places. So that 00:06:26.949 --> 00:06:31.689 would give them freedom, really, and stability. 00:06:33.189 --> 00:06:38.829 So the app that we have up now transacts with 00:06:38.829 --> 00:06:41.209 a stablecoin called USDC, which is pegged to 00:06:41.209 --> 00:06:44.670 the US dollar. But Excova is not just an app. 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.600 It's infrastructure. So there is another instance 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.339 of Excova being developed right now on this thing 00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:54.079 called Bitcoin L1, which would allow people to 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.600 send Bitcoin, send and receive Bitcoin with just 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.420 an email address. So you go to the app, you log 00:07:01.420 --> 00:07:04.339 in with your email, and then you can, right now 00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:06.079 with Testnet, you just hop up from a faucet, 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.560 but you'll be able to like connect your bank 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.139 account and your cards and stuff in the future. 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.899 Just hop up and then send cryptocurrency anywhere 00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:19.329 in the world. Instantly. Wow. Yeah. There's got 00:07:19.329 --> 00:07:23.910 to be massive competition for this, right? There's 00:07:23.910 --> 00:07:30.490 two big competitors, but we're better than them. 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:35.269 Yeah? Yes. The reason why we're better than them 00:07:35.269 --> 00:07:38.790 is that nobody right now, anyway, has the commitment 00:07:38.790 --> 00:07:42.420 to abstraction that we do. See, they have the 00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.480 infrastructure for the consumer side. For example, 00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:47.500 one of the things our app does is if you have 00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:51.180 an e -commerce store, just say Shopify or WooCommerce, 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.500 you can use a plugin to, just in a couple clicks, 00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:57.560 connect Excova so when someone's checking out 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.439 on your website with a hat or t -shirt or whatever 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.300 they're going to buy, instead of seeing... like 00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:05.100 they'll put in their payment details and instead 00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:07.220 of saying pay with PayPal or pay with Stripe, 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:10.160 they see pay with Xcola. Sure. Or whatever it 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.879 is, like the instance of Xcola. And so that then 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.779 saves the e -commerce store upwards of, we have 00:08:18.779 --> 00:08:24.139 3 % on our payment processing base. So yeah, 00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:31.069 it's... It's crazy. So other companies do that 00:08:31.069 --> 00:08:33.269 as well as the P2P payments like we were talking 00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:37.210 about, but none of them do what we do, which 00:08:37.210 --> 00:08:40.830 is the abstraction part of it, which is to make 00:08:40.830 --> 00:08:42.889 it look like PayPal or Venmo and just hide the 00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:46.570 blockchain engine. So it's pretty exciting what 00:08:46.570 --> 00:08:49.110 we're doing. That's awesome. It sounds like you've 00:08:49.110 --> 00:08:51.049 taken something that is incredibly complicated 00:08:51.049 --> 00:08:54.700 and I'm a full -time nerd and even I. would not 00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:57.539 try to speak expertly on these topics at all. 00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:01.179 So exactly what you're saying to me is, if I've 00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:03.559 got an app as simple as all those other payment 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.899 apps that everybody's come to love, that I can 00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:08.779 just send this guy some money and make him grab 00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:11.700 us some coffee like that. Yes. That's awesome. 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.720 Candice, I'm wearing headphones, not because 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.879 I want to hear. It's because I'm keeping the 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:21.860 smoke from pouring out of my ear. Because I represent 00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:26.639 the population that has no idea of what's going 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.519 on with cryptocurrency. So I almost sat out this 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.820 interview for that reason. I was like, there 00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:32.539 is nothing I can do. Now you're the target audience. 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.480 But I am the target audience. And for that, I 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.600 don't want to take us a step back in this interview. 00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:42.139 But just for the people out there like me, is 00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:46.679 there a brief summary that you can give on what 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:51.320 exactly is crypto and blockchain and just... 00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:53.220 Again, I'm sorry. No, it's a great question. 00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:56.340 I'm dumbing us down here, but do you mind doing 00:09:56.340 --> 00:10:00.740 that for mostly for me? This is something that 00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:03.860 actually I'm I'm very passionate about is I do 00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:06.379 believe that this technology is going to change 00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:09.480 the world. But I also believe that it's extremely 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.320 complicated for people and so that there needs 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:16.220 to be a bridge over this over this gap. You can't 00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:20.289 expect everybody to become like, you know. A 00:10:20.289 --> 00:10:23.429 tech nerd is, I guess. Yeah, absolutely. Lifetime 00:10:23.429 --> 00:10:27.529 commitment. Lifetime commitment. So, I believe, 00:10:27.950 --> 00:10:30.830 so when we're talking about blockchain and in 00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:33.549 cryptocurrency, we can think about blockchain 00:10:33.549 --> 00:10:36.429 as the underlying technology. Okay. Now, when 00:10:36.429 --> 00:10:40.350 you visit a website, do you care where it's hosted? 00:10:40.490 --> 00:10:42.450 Not at all. Do you care if the website is using 00:10:42.450 --> 00:10:45.509 AWS? Matt does, because he's a nerd. But I don't, 00:10:45.509 --> 00:10:47.649 I do not. I don't, I wouldn't even want to find 00:10:47.649 --> 00:10:51.059 that. I mean that lovingly. Most people don't. 00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:53.899 We just want the website. Yeah. Yeah. You're 00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:55.799 just visiting a website. You don't care what 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.460 technology the website is built with. Now, when 00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:01.419 we talk about blockchain, I believe that that 00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:04.460 is the future. That you're going to be using 00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:08.580 all kinds of products that use blockchain and 00:11:08.580 --> 00:11:12.200 you won't even know it. It is just going to make 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:17.360 things fast, cheap, secure. It's like rebuilding 00:11:18.090 --> 00:11:20.990 The internet and technology as we as we have 00:11:20.990 --> 00:11:23.470 now and it's it's not just industries like payments 00:11:23.470 --> 00:11:25.690 like when we think cryptocurrency we think currency, 00:11:25.690 --> 00:11:28.710 but it's it's so much more than that. It's like 00:11:28.710 --> 00:11:32.610 anything that Would be able to have a database 00:11:32.610 --> 00:11:36.690 Would be able to to strip now. I mean, I don't 00:11:36.690 --> 00:11:39.090 I don't personally believe that every industry 00:11:39.090 --> 00:11:42.370 is going to change to it But but a lot will you 00:11:42.370 --> 00:11:46.110 know the California DMV is using blockchain now 00:11:46.110 --> 00:11:51.330 it basically Blockchain is what we call an immutable 00:11:51.330 --> 00:11:57.250 ledger. You can't mess with it. It is super secure. 00:11:57.509 --> 00:12:04.950 It is transparent. So if we think of like, I 00:12:04.950 --> 00:12:08.230 guess a good example would be like a government. 00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:10.590 If you want to be able to track government spending, 00:12:10.870 --> 00:12:12.850 well then we can have this immutable public ledger 00:12:12.850 --> 00:12:14.570 that you can literally see where all these payments 00:12:14.570 --> 00:12:18.710 are going. It gets a little bit more complicated 00:12:18.710 --> 00:12:21.090 than that because there's technologies that allow 00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:24.350 you to have Encrypted transactions for privacy. 00:12:24.429 --> 00:12:26.629 So you balance that depending on the application, 00:12:26.629 --> 00:12:30.330 right? So but I guess we can just say for normal 00:12:30.330 --> 00:12:33.950 people blockchain is technology You may use it 00:12:33.950 --> 00:12:35.690 without even knowing that you're using it. But 00:12:35.690 --> 00:12:38.269 just trust that it is going to change the world. 00:12:38.549 --> 00:12:44.789 Okay, I I trust your word So I think an interesting 00:12:44.789 --> 00:12:47.009 thing is that a lot of people have you guys dabbled 00:12:47.009 --> 00:12:50.850 with AI at all? Oh, yeah. Yeah, very much. This 00:12:50.850 --> 00:12:52.590 is something I think is extremely interesting. 00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:58.610 So AI has reached, you know, the masses a lot 00:12:58.610 --> 00:13:01.330 more quickly than than blockchain and cryptocurrency 00:13:01.330 --> 00:13:03.870 has. I mean, not that AI hasn't been around for 00:13:03.870 --> 00:13:06.870 a long time. It's been, you know, it's been many, 00:13:07.190 --> 00:13:10.580 many decades in the making. But to see how it's 00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:13.879 being supercharged now to be used in social media, 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.240 I mean, in all kinds of applications from law 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:22.580 to just making a funny meme, you know, it's wild, 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.659 the applications of it. So we've seen a brand 00:13:25.659 --> 00:13:30.059 new technology being adopted by people very rapidly. 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:34.879 And why is that? Cause it's so easy to use. It's 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.879 easy to just type in a little thing and click, 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.580 and all of a sudden you get this cute picture. 00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:43.080 of a lion riding a unicorn in outer space. It 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:47.320 could be anything. And it's also fun. So I do 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.639 believe that blockchain needs to get there. It 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.399 needs to get to a point where it's easy and fun 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.860 for people to use. That's another thing. So in 00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:59.100 our app that we have, it's not just the payments. 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.220 Of course, payments are extremely important. 00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:03.740 That's a problem that we think is important to 00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:09.000 solve worldwide. For sure. Also inside of Excova, 00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:12.759 we have an app store so that people can build 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.940 apps on top of our network. And those things 00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:19.860 will be like games, bill pay, trading, you know, 00:14:19.940 --> 00:14:23.460 whatever you like to do with it. So there's a 00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:26.460 lot of blockchain games now that you don't even 00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:30.620 know are using blockchain. Which is really wild. 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.840 So like when you win something in the game, like 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.980 you win a skin or you win a weapon or whatever 00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:40.879 you win. It's actually like an NFT, which is 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.879 a type of token when we talk about cryptocurrency. 00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:47.600 I get two in the weeds. No, no, it's great. No, 00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:50.559 we love this. It is great. Yeah, I'm learning. 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.299 I've learned long ago that anytime you can get 00:14:54.299 --> 00:14:56.720 in and talk about crypto, it actually becomes 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.039 some of the best content you can get because 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.340 there's so many people like us that just don't 00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:03.720 understand and want to absorb as much as possible. 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.960 We very much appreciate that. I'm someone that 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.080 prides myself on, I've always been good at saving 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.840 and investing money and kind of staying on top 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:18.360 of that stuff. And this is kind of the one category 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.100 where I'm really lacking and I feel like I'm 00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:23.879 missing out on some possible investments because 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.179 I don't understand it completely. So I don't 00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:27.799 really think there is the weeds here. I think 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.629 it's really relevant. So Candice, let me ask 00:15:30.629 --> 00:15:33.570 you a little bit kind of some some business style 00:15:33.570 --> 00:15:36.929 questions What's what's your goal with this? 00:15:36.970 --> 00:15:39.129 Is it to are you gonna need to raise a bunch 00:15:39.129 --> 00:15:41.929 of capital? Is this something that you can bootstrap 00:15:41.929 --> 00:15:44.070 or eventually sell like what's what's your goal 00:15:44.070 --> 00:15:49.070 here? So right now we are Applying for grants. 00:15:49.509 --> 00:15:53.710 So we've gotten so we were part of an incubator. 00:15:53.710 --> 00:15:56.990 I don't know So the incubator that we were in 00:15:56.990 --> 00:15:59.970 is called Codebase. It's specifically for blockchain 00:15:59.970 --> 00:16:02.830 startups. It's like the Y Combinator. That's 00:16:02.830 --> 00:16:06.190 awesome. Yeah. So we were in that last year and 00:16:06.190 --> 00:16:09.429 we graduated in December. And then the company, 00:16:09.669 --> 00:16:13.710 so now that we're graduates, we have people that 00:16:13.710 --> 00:16:17.690 are helping us on these next stages. So we're 00:16:17.690 --> 00:16:20.029 just heads down building, applying for grants 00:16:20.029 --> 00:16:22.190 right now. But after that, we will need to apply 00:16:22.190 --> 00:16:24.509 for funding. We'll definitely need funding. you 00:16:24.509 --> 00:16:28.429 know, for this type of product. But however, 00:16:28.730 --> 00:16:32.549 we've been able to get really far with just our 00:16:32.549 --> 00:16:35.590 internal resources. Like we have the beta up 00:16:35.590 --> 00:16:39.509 for people to use. The product is built. So it's 00:16:39.509 --> 00:16:42.289 just next steps into getting it out to the masses 00:16:42.289 --> 00:16:47.350 really. That's incredible. What is the best way 00:16:47.350 --> 00:16:49.629 that people can participate? Is it just to go 00:16:49.629 --> 00:16:52.269 to the beta and sign up? What should we tell 00:16:52.269 --> 00:16:54.700 folks to do? Yeah. Yeah. So if they go to the 00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:56.899 beta, all you need to do is just put your email 00:16:56.899 --> 00:17:00.759 address in and it will be, and you log in and 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.620 then you can just explore the app. You can just 00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:05.480 go and see how you would, would top up. And then 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.920 if you want to send, you know, test funds to 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.099 a friend, you just click send and then you put 00:17:10.099 --> 00:17:12.500 your friend's email address in and it will, however 00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:14.500 much you want, like send them a dollar and then 00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:16.140 it will just send them. They'll get an email 00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:17.819 that says, Hey, somebody wants to send you a 00:17:17.819 --> 00:17:21.079 dollar. Awesome. It's so easy. Like I know I'm 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.990 talking all these like. abstraction, blockchain, 00:17:24.230 --> 00:17:25.769 like all these complicated words. But the point 00:17:25.769 --> 00:17:29.190 is that we're making it so that you can send 00:17:29.190 --> 00:17:31.430 crypto with only an email address and you don't 00:17:31.430 --> 00:17:33.349 even need to know anything about blockchain at 00:17:33.349 --> 00:17:36.470 all. So it's easy if you go to the beta. That's 00:17:36.470 --> 00:17:41.690 absolutely the right solution. I don't even necessarily 00:17:41.690 --> 00:17:44.230 understand all these folks that really want people 00:17:44.230 --> 00:17:47.309 to get into these things and they don't see that, 00:17:47.309 --> 00:17:49.549 which is just the most obvious in any business. 00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:52.279 Make it as easy as possible for people to do 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.119 business with you. Absolutely. And again, because 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.619 I'm a little behind the eight ball on this, is 00:17:58.619 --> 00:18:02.420 it fair to say that you guys are kind of the 00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:04.660 venmo of cryptocurrency? Is that what it is? 00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:06.960 Because I don't know what it takes to... I guess 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.500 I assumed that crypto was easy to send anyway. 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:11.880 I didn't realize that there was kind of a hole 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.880 where it needs to be easier. Is that kind of 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:19.200 what's going on? Yeah, I would say Venmo PayPal 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:24.740 because of cryptocurrency. Like if you can use 00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:28.279 PayPal, you can use Excalibur. I mean, if you 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.859 can use Venmo, you can use Excalibur. It's that 00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:36.819 easy. It's just kind of a normal app. I always 00:18:36.819 --> 00:18:38.460 assumed it was the same thing, right? It would 00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:40.710 be very easy to do these things. And to some 00:18:40.710 --> 00:18:43.029 degree, if you have all the pieces set up, it 00:18:43.029 --> 00:18:45.490 can be pretty easy. But even just setting those 00:18:45.490 --> 00:18:47.309 up, and I've messed with that. You've got to 00:18:47.309 --> 00:18:50.029 have wallets. You've got to move things around. 00:18:50.089 --> 00:18:51.789 You've got to be connected to the right networks 00:18:51.789 --> 00:18:53.549 and have these different pieces. And then the 00:18:53.549 --> 00:18:55.230 other side's got to have all the same things 00:18:55.230 --> 00:18:58.529 for you to properly interact with them. Or you're 00:18:58.529 --> 00:19:00.990 doing something where you've got these crazy 00:19:00.990 --> 00:19:04.950 fees and you lose half of your money in the transaction 00:19:04.950 --> 00:19:07.920 that your buddy doesn't even get. It's a crazy, 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.599 and if you click the wrong thing, suddenly you 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:16.279 fucked yourself. Exactly like she's saying. It's 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.500 almost surprising to me, and I mean this respectfully, 00:19:18.859 --> 00:19:21.240 because it's an amazing idea. How has this not 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.920 been done? Because crypto has been out for a 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:27.539 bit now. No point intended. I'm surprised that 00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:29.039 there's a hole in the market for this, which 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.440 is amazing for you. Did you have to do a lot 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.539 of research for that ahead of time, just to make 00:19:35.539 --> 00:19:42.990 sure? Well, yes and yes and no. Um, so the, as 00:19:42.990 --> 00:19:45.829 far as the competitors are concerned, uh, they've, 00:19:45.930 --> 00:19:47.650 our competitors have only been around for like 00:19:47.650 --> 00:19:50.329 two to three years. Right. Which is baby for 00:19:50.329 --> 00:19:52.750 a company. It's an open space. Yeah. And, uh, 00:19:52.849 --> 00:19:55.569 one of our competitors, HelioPay has only been 00:19:55.569 --> 00:19:57.650 around for two, three years and they just sold 00:19:57.650 --> 00:20:02.470 in January for $175 million. Wow. Yeah. So that's, 00:20:02.470 --> 00:20:09.980 that's, uh, You're up next. Because they, as 00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:11.920 I said, don't have the commitment to abstraction 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.160 that we do. Sure. As far as the abstraction is 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.099 concerned, there are other, like this abstract 00:20:17.099 --> 00:20:20.599 chain, there are people who are recognizing this 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.319 now at the same time as we are that abstraction 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.519 needs to be, when I say abstraction, I mean making 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:31.759 it easy for everybody. Yeah. Yeah, so like hiding 00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:37.200 the blockchain underneath it. So, I mean, I understand 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.539 people who are, because I'm the same, people 00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:42.200 who believe blockchain will change the world 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.400 and want people to learn about it. And I've also 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.859 spent time trying to help people understand how 00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:53.240 to use cryptocurrency in the traditional way, 00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:56.440 like with Metamask. What Matthew said is absolutely 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:01.559 correct. You know, it is complicated. It's easy 00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:06.079 to accidentally lose funds. Um, I mean, there's 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.579 so many scammers trying to steal funds, like 00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:10.900 asking people for their, for their seed phrase, 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.079 which is a phrase that protects your password. 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.440 Yeah. Um, and even just installing it in a web 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.500 browser is difficult for a lot of people. So 00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:25.299 we, we made it as easy as, as humanly possible. 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.039 Just put your email address in and. That's all 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.660 you need to do. There's nothing to install. There's 00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:32.619 nothing to download. There's no learning curve. 00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:37.380 So, but I do understand the ethos of wanting 00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:41.740 people to learn the, the, the right way, not 00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:44.839 the right way, the regular way, you know, because 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.200 like, you know, you want people to get excited 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.940 about this technology, but that's just unrealistic 00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:54.619 to expect everybody to uproot their lives for 00:21:54.619 --> 00:21:58.240 this thing. I think cryptocurrency should serve 00:21:58.410 --> 00:22:00.769 people, like, make people's lives better and 00:22:00.769 --> 00:22:03.250 not make people frustrated about learning this 00:22:03.250 --> 00:22:06.769 new thing. I mean, I know there are some things 00:22:06.769 --> 00:22:09.009 that I don't want to learn. Like, for instance, 00:22:09.109 --> 00:22:13.569 I was at my friend's house and she had kids and 00:22:13.569 --> 00:22:15.569 they were playing this game and they wanted me 00:22:15.569 --> 00:22:18.230 to play it. And I didn't even know how to plug 00:22:18.230 --> 00:22:24.029 in the console. I'm just like, here, child, here, 00:22:24.170 --> 00:22:27.569 make this work and then I will use it. So. Um, 00:22:27.829 --> 00:22:30.289 yeah, I mean, but, so you don't want to always 00:22:30.289 --> 00:22:33.690 learn new technology and especially cryptocurrency 00:22:33.690 --> 00:22:37.609 with the fact that you can lose a lot of money. 00:22:38.690 --> 00:22:41.930 Um, you know, it, it, there's an added sense 00:22:41.930 --> 00:22:44.529 of stress there using it. So we, we take that 00:22:44.529 --> 00:22:47.109 away. People only got so much time. You know 00:22:47.109 --> 00:22:49.549 what I mean? You can't, you can't expect everybody 00:22:49.549 --> 00:22:52.829 to be on top of everything. So that's, that's 00:22:52.829 --> 00:22:55.869 great. Uh, Candice, we're, we're running short 00:22:55.869 --> 00:22:59.109 on time, but Before we, we dip out of here, I 00:22:59.109 --> 00:23:01.950 gotta, I gotta just ask you, aside from crypto, 00:23:02.809 --> 00:23:06.289 you're an author and a musician and all these 00:23:06.289 --> 00:23:08.089 other things. Do you have time for any of those 00:23:08.089 --> 00:23:09.609 activities while you're building this company 00:23:09.609 --> 00:23:13.390 or is it a nose to the grind here? Oh, I would 00:23:13.390 --> 00:23:17.829 say, uh, the, well, like I haven't done, done 00:23:17.829 --> 00:23:21.369 music for a while. I'm kind of retired in quads 00:23:21.369 --> 00:23:26.559 for that. But the books, yeah, I mean, I think 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:29.279 that it's important when you're doing something 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.980 as intense as this to have another outlet that 00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:35.059 allows you to kind of relax and put your brain 00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:37.980 in another direction. I really enjoy reading. 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:43.519 Like I read a lot for fun, not blockchain books. 00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:47.240 I read science fiction, fantasy, you know, I 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:50.299 just, I enjoy losing myself in good fiction. 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:53.519 And so I also enjoy writing. don't have as much 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:57.259 time for it as I would like, but I am working 00:23:57.259 --> 00:24:00.660 on the sequel to my first published novel, so. 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:03.099 Amazing. Just take one minute, tell us about 00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:05.680 that. What is that book, what's it about, and 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.660 where can people get it? Oh, thank you. Yeah, 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.660 so it's called Mortal Tether. It is on Amazon. 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.119 It is available as a paperback, hardcover, or 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:19.730 ebook. It is for ages 13 and up. But so it is 00:24:19.730 --> 00:24:21.549 really for a teenage audience, but adults really 00:24:21.549 --> 00:24:23.950 do enjoy this book as well. Cool. It is kind 00:24:23.950 --> 00:24:27.730 of like Stranger Things meets The Hunger Games 00:24:27.730 --> 00:24:31.269 meets The Last of Us. OK. Post -apocalyptic. 00:24:31.329 --> 00:24:35.089 OK. All the adults on the planet have been turned 00:24:35.089 --> 00:24:37.210 into monsters and now kids inherit the world 00:24:37.210 --> 00:24:40.849 and they have to remake it and survive. I like 00:24:40.849 --> 00:24:44.170 that. I dig it. This is awesome. I dig that. 00:24:44.190 --> 00:24:46.680 It was fun to read. That's so cool. Check that 00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:48.660 out. And I'm guessing that's, it's actually the 00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:50.440 one right behind you, right? As I'm, I realize 00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:52.480 as we're talking that you just mentioned that 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:54.500 like, there you go.

Yeah idea of being good news and we 00:27:42.269 --> 00:27:44.049 we're talking a lot of good news We've been doing 00:27:44.049 --> 00:27:47.089 a lot of interviews and we've been you know going 00:27:47.089 --> 00:27:50.730 crazy with that, but This is a new show. Yeah 00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:53.519 Technically we're a news show. So we gotta talk 00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:55.099 about some news. So we should probably do some 00:27:55.099 --> 00:27:58.079 news. And good news. So without further ado, 00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:59.700 we will eventually, Danny, you're gonna have 00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:02.880 to make us like a news show jingle, you know, 00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:05.319 it's news time, you know, whatever, don't ever, 00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:07.900 cut that out.

We haven't really prepared this, but 00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:16.960 you know, fuck it, we'll do it live. Fuck it, 00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:19.640 we'll do it live. Mike, without further ado. 00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:22.680 Tell me, what is the good news, my friend? Well, 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.539 first of all, let's talk about what happened 00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:27.519 over the weekend right here in Syracuse. Yeah. 00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:29.900 That was a crazy weekend. Yeah, it was. Because 00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:33.680 not only is it WrestleMania weekend, not in Syracuse, 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:36.039 but it's WrestleMania weekend. On top of that, 00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:40.839 Metallica came to the JMA Wireless Dome and set 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:44.920 a record for attendance. The last time a band 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:49.140 or artist Had that many people at the JMA Wireless 00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:52.400 Dome was the who back in forever ago, which actually 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:55.059 surprised me Because Billy Joel's played there. 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:56.579 Yeah, I would have assumed they had increased 00:28:56.579 --> 00:28:58.799 capacity since those years You know, they might 00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:02.759 have with the renovation. I'm not sure but Amazing 00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:04.799 show. Then again, they can put, for shows, they 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:07.000 put people like right down in front, right? So 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:12.079 it's not even just the stadium seats? Yeah, there's... 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:13.680 The crowd on the floor, I guess you would say. 00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:15.400 I mean, it depends on the artist, but yeah, there's 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.359 definitely... So they fit more than the bleachers. 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:20.000 That is actually why I think part of the reason 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:22.140 they did set the record is because there was 00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:25.000 actually floor seating available. But concert, 00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:27.819 phenomenal. And I'm gonna talk about... How are 00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:33.269 your seats? That's the thing. I had floor seats, 00:29:34.170 --> 00:29:37.309 and I'm 40 -something. So I was terrified. I'm 00:29:37.309 --> 00:29:40.230 like, I don't want to get smashed around. I'm 00:29:40.230 --> 00:29:42.349 an old dude. I just want to sit there, enjoy 00:29:42.349 --> 00:29:45.990 the music, rock out. And here's something I didn't 00:29:45.990 --> 00:29:48.710 take into consideration. Everybody else is your 00:29:48.710 --> 00:29:53.230 age? Yes. I had all this anxiety about going 00:29:53.230 --> 00:29:55.849 there. The last time I saw Metallica, I've seen 00:29:55.849 --> 00:29:57.869 Metallica probably eight times. The last time 00:29:57.869 --> 00:30:02.819 being in 2003. I assumed that I'm going to get 00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:04.180 there, everyone's going to have their shirts 00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:06.900 off and sweating and screaming and banging on 00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:09.420 cars. That's what I used to do. And I thought, 00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.740 man, this is going to be tough for me because 00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:13.059 I'm older now. I got kids, you know. And I looked 00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:14.680 around. To hell with the starts. I'm like, what? 00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:16.880 Everyone's low energy. And I'm thinking, no, 00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:19.200 the burnouts are burnt out. It's just fucking 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.039 old. The burnouts are burnt out. We're all old, 00:30:22.059 --> 00:30:24.579 and we all just want to watch. So there was a 00:30:24.579 --> 00:30:26.900 lot of emotions that came with it. Another thing 00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:28.799 I did notice, and I wanted to ask you about, 00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:32.200 Remember in the 90s, at least it was, I think 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.619 it started in the 90s, remember that whole don't 00:30:34.619 --> 00:30:37.480 be that guy thing? Don't wear the shirt of the 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:39.700 band. You're wearing the shirt of the band you're 00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:42.059 going to see. Right. Don't be that guy. That's 00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:45.039 it. It's a line from PCU. Here's the thing. I 00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.220 didn't wear my shirt for that reason. Sure. So 00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:50.900 I wore it today. There were a lot of people wearing 00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:53.539 Metallica shirts, and it was mostly with the 00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:55.839 younger generation, you know, that heard Master 00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.880 of Puppets on Stranger Things. So I'm wondering... 00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:00.259 The kids that have been wearing the Metallica 00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:02.740 t -shirts and had their chops broken because 00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:04.660 they never actually heard Metallica. Pretty much. 00:31:04.660 --> 00:31:06.640 They're going to earn their chops. But I guess 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:09.200 when I'm asking, maybe it's a poll for our listeners, 00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:14.599 our viewers. Is that a thing now? You do wear 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.420 the shirt to the concert? Or are you not that 00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:20.460 guy? I've always followed the ECU rule. I don't 00:31:20.460 --> 00:31:23.619 know. Me too. But I get it, you know. And to 00:31:23.619 --> 00:31:25.519 be fair, when I saw the Grateful Dead a couple 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:30.740 weeks ago, you know, everybody was wearing Grateful 00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:33.259 Dead outfits. But to be fair, most Grateful Dead 00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:36.200 fans only own a wardrobe of Grateful Dead outfits, 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:37.359 so I don't know if... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:38.640 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:38.640 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:39.339 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:39.960 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:40.019 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:40.900 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:40.900 --> 00:31:41.500 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:41.500 --> 00:31:44.940 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:50.440 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:57.680 hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, this past 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.380 weekend at the concert because I had floor seats 00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:02.920 and then a buddy of ours... You wanted to sit? 00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:07.180 Well, that and a buddy of ours messages me. He 00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:09.000 saw that I was going to the show on Facebook. 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.720 He's a tour manager for a lot of different bands. 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:13.839 He's like, I got a guy that works for Live Nation. 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:15.920 I'm going to text him. I was like, dude, you 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:17.880 don't have to do that. A few minutes later, we 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.740 have a private Live Nation suite in a box. Wow. 00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:22.359 And we get up there and the lady's like, yep, 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.599 hot food comes out at seven. Dude, I ate a hot 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:28.599 dog. chicken tenders, brisket sandwiches, they 00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:32.940 had free drinks. Nice. And so I thought, I'm 00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:34.359 gonna watch the show up here, this is more of 00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.460 my speed, because again, I thought, I'm not getting 00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:38.380 down there in the mosh pit. Fuck that. Yeah, 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.460 well, there was no mosh pit. There were a couple 00:32:41.460 --> 00:32:46.099 mosh pits. But by the time, you know, about three, 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:48.759 four, five songs left, I go... I gotta go down 00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:50.799 and experience the fluke. So I went down to the, 00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:52.819 I double dipped. And that's why I hated who I've 00:32:52.819 --> 00:32:55.519 become. I double dipped. I did the suite and 00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:58.359 then I went down and I did the floor. All right. 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.339 But it was great. It was great. So without further 00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:06.039 ado, let's get into some articles. Some stories, 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.759 some news stories I heard. This is kind of exciting. 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:11.319 Three Syracuse area restaurants have cracked 00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:14.369 the top 10 in the annual battle. for burger supremacy, 00:33:14.829 --> 00:33:16.769 including a newcomer to the local restaurant 00:33:16.769 --> 00:33:19.609 seat. Now, here's the thing. Wait, hold on. This 00:33:19.609 --> 00:33:22.650 is a nationwide thing? This is the nationwide 00:33:22.650 --> 00:33:24.670 thing. In three places in Syracuse. Syracuse 00:33:24.670 --> 00:33:28.390 .com, okay. According to them. Little bias, but 00:33:28.390 --> 00:33:32.690 I'll hear it. But here's the thing. I have trouble 00:33:32.690 --> 00:33:35.089 putting stock in some of these polls because, 00:33:35.089 --> 00:33:39.190 you know, who created them? The nationwide poll 00:33:39.190 --> 00:33:42.420 taken by people in Syracuse. Exactly. This is 00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:46.500 actually taken by the, where is it here? Oh, 00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:49.400 the New York Beef Council. So I feel like that's 00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:53.099 pretty reputable. They would know. I mean. I 00:33:53.099 --> 00:33:54.220 mean they're gonna promote New York. If they're 00:33:54.220 --> 00:33:56.339 gonna do like the best taco joints in the nation 00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:58.880 and they're like, and the Taco Council came up 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:00.680 with it, I would be like, okay, these guys kind 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.420 of know what they're doing. Fair. So the finalists 00:34:04.420 --> 00:34:07.819 that came up, now there were burger makers in 00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:10.619 Rochester, Utica Corning, and Port Jervis, which. 00:34:10.670 --> 00:34:12.590 didn't even know that was a part of New York. 00:34:13.789 --> 00:34:19.010 They have cracked the list. The top 10 finalists 00:34:19.010 --> 00:34:22.150 selected were based on public votes, and they're 00:34:22.150 --> 00:34:25.349 in alphabetical order. Alan Angus in Syracuse 00:34:25.349 --> 00:34:28.269 gets - Hold on, hold on, hold on. Are they ranked? 00:34:28.610 --> 00:34:31.750 Is this like a - Not here. This is listed in 00:34:31.750 --> 00:34:33.650 alphabetical order. Okay, so these are just - 00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:36.719 These are just in no particular order in no particular 00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.360 order alphabetical like us the the the Syracuse 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.539 Folk we've got get smashed. We've got Alan Angus 00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:48.420 And I'm not seeing the third on here. Where is 00:34:48.420 --> 00:34:50.800 the third one? Probably on the next page probably 00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:55.199 on the next page possibly No, it's not Well, 00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:59.139 they have Ben's Fresh in Port Jervis, Brewer 00:34:59.139 --> 00:35:01.539 Union in Brewerton, Butcher's Son in Corning. 00:35:01.739 --> 00:35:03.579 Brewerton is the other Syracuse one. Okay, then 00:35:03.579 --> 00:35:06.280 there you go. I didn't realize they were doing 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.800 outskirts, okay. Madison Hotel in Illion. Get 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:11.460 the fuck out of here. No, I'm not kidding you. 00:35:11.659 --> 00:35:13.239 R &M in Corning. I didn't even know that place 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:17.420 was still open. Rooster's in Utica, and the Tapit 00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:20.420 Bar and Grill in Rochester, as well as Wendy's 00:35:20.420 --> 00:35:22.440 Diner in Cassville. Rooster's is great. Hold 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:24.719 on, back up for a second, though. The Madison 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:28.659 Hotel in Ilion is technically barely in Ilion. 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.780 It's in the end of the Ilion Gorge. It's borderline 00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:34.099 Cedarville, and no one listening to this show 00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:36.739 knows what the fuck I'm talking about. Buddy, 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:39.119 I don't know what you're talking about. This 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:43.820 is a place like in the middle of nowhere. It's 00:35:43.820 --> 00:35:46.659 an ancient old hotel and bar, and the fact that 00:35:46.659 --> 00:35:49.420 they are rocking and rolling and being known 00:35:49.420 --> 00:35:52.219 for a good burger is awesome. It's not only awesome, 00:35:52.219 --> 00:35:55.619 but it kind of gives both parties in this situation, 00:35:55.739 --> 00:35:59.340 more credibility. Because, obviously, if they're 00:35:59.340 --> 00:36:01.679 finding this hidden... Somebody's going out of 00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:03.659 their way. Someone's really looking. Yeah. But 00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:06.099 then that kind of contradicts what I was just 00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:08.019 gonna go, which is, the best burger I've ever 00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:10.059 had in my entire life was at the Ithaca Ale House, 00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:13.079 as well as their wings. If you want great wings, 00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:15.940 and the best burger... What makes the burger 00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:18.860 so good? First of all, everything's fresh. All 00:36:18.860 --> 00:36:21.219 the ingredients are fresh. They're thick. They're 00:36:21.219 --> 00:36:23.139 juicy. You saw the cow off front when you pulled 00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:26.349 up. It is just unbelievable. I don't know how 00:36:26.349 --> 00:36:29.070 to explain it, but the Ithaca Ale House, Best 00:36:29.070 --> 00:36:30.789 Wings and Best Birds, they're not on the list. 00:36:30.789 --> 00:36:35.409 Do they plain broil it? They do not. All right, 00:36:35.429 --> 00:36:37.570 tell me if you remind, and we're going to get 00:36:37.570 --> 00:36:40.250 off this topic, but tell me if you remember this 00:36:40.250 --> 00:36:43.570 place. You remember Lew's Dairy Isle in Mohawk 00:36:43.570 --> 00:36:45.829 when we were kids, the ice cream place in Mohawk? 00:36:46.190 --> 00:36:50.539 Oh, on the main street. Yeah. The only fucking 00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:52.000 street in Mohawk. Yes, I absolutely remember 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.079 that. In the summer, that's where we go. You 00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:54.579 remember their burgers? Did you ever eat the 00:36:54.579 --> 00:36:57.619 burgers? Never did. Only ice cream. For as long 00:36:57.619 --> 00:37:02.239 as I live, that'll be the standard by which I 00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:05.119 gauge all burgers. You know what I miss? Have 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:08.820 you ever had TP driving? TP driving is phenomenal. 00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:11.360 The Papa Mexican burger. And that's a different 00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:13.639 type of burger. It is. They had the, what do 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:15.699 they call it? They call it the Mexican hot. The 00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:20.570 Papa Mexican. their own blend of onions in the 00:37:20.570 --> 00:37:23.789 ground beef. Incredible. The word on the street. 00:37:24.010 --> 00:37:28.650 My dad was the mayor a few years back, and even 00:37:28.650 --> 00:37:30.710 then... They have great chicken tenders, too. 00:37:31.369 --> 00:37:32.650 Everything they had at that place was great. 00:37:33.110 --> 00:37:36.969 Even then, they were... Shrimp baskets. Even 00:37:36.969 --> 00:37:39.469 then, my father could not get the recipe for 00:37:39.469 --> 00:37:42.690 the... They have a hidden recipe that nobody 00:37:42.690 --> 00:37:44.769 can find. It's great stuff. I'm getting the rap 00:37:44.769 --> 00:37:46.880 sign from Zanny, but... I had a couple other 00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:49.500 news stories. Basically, Red Robin... Wrap it 00:37:49.500 --> 00:37:54.239 up! Red Robin... Yes, kids, wrap it up. Uh, Red 00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:57.579 Robin did a thing... In other burger news. In 00:37:57.579 --> 00:38:00.440 other burger news, where they were giving away 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:03.139 a pass which cost 20 bucks. It allowed customers 00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:05.460 to get one free burger with a bottomless side 00:38:05.460 --> 00:38:07.840 every day in May in honor of National Burger 00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:11.139 Month. Okay. Everyone went on, and the entire 00:38:11.139 --> 00:38:14.119 website crashed. They melted it down. Yeah. That's 00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.239 one of those things where you have like... a 00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:19.519 promotion that works too well. So, exactly. So 00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.320 people in Syracuse are boycotting Red Robin. 00:38:22.940 --> 00:38:26.500 But Red Robin is choosing 12 of its royalty members 00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:28.420 to get free burgers for a year and you can enter 00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:30.340 to win by purchasing both a burger and a beverage 00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:32.739 while logged into your account between May 1st 00:38:32.739 --> 00:38:35.239 and May 31st. So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold 00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:38.760 on, hold on, hold on, hold on. To protest the 00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:42.659 fact that they couldn't buy the coupon, they're 00:38:42.659 --> 00:38:46.190 not going to go to the restaurant. That's correct, 00:38:46.550 --> 00:38:50.070 and that's not a protest. I couldn't agree more 00:38:50.070 --> 00:38:54.769 that is there's no room at the inn and Clearly 00:38:54.769 --> 00:38:57.010 then ain't gonna hurt red robin cuz they fucking 00:38:57.010 --> 00:39:00.429 sold out exactly It didn't help red robin never 00:39:00.429 --> 00:39:02.550 went on social media. I don't teach them. They 00:39:02.550 --> 00:39:04.710 never apologized That's I think that's why people 00:39:04.710 --> 00:39:07.449 are all so the website crash people spent over 00:39:07.449 --> 00:39:10.010 an hour Trying to get this thing and they kept 00:39:10.010 --> 00:39:11.909 getting error messages and finally they just 00:39:11.909 --> 00:39:13.710 were like we're boycotting they haven't answered 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:17.219 And I'll end it on this, because again, we're 00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:19.219 getting the wrap. They're boycotting until the 00:39:19.219 --> 00:39:22.320 next promotion. Yeah. In June, they're back. 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:28.780 So a couple that are both paramedics were dining 00:39:28.780 --> 00:39:33.599 at a place in Gettys called, where is the name 00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:36.199 of the place? Danielas, right? Danielas. They 00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.519 were just on an inn. Great steakhouse. Why is 00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:40.480 this all about food? Well, I didn't. Were you 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:42.380 hungry this morning? Should I feed you breakfast 00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:44.280 before this show? This was my cry for help. I 00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:47.219 need breakfast. Are you hangry, buddy? I'm hangry. 00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:49.340 I'm very hangry. I'm sorry, let's get back to 00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:51.320 the life -saving. Yeah, I don't know why they 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:52.699 all had to do it. And you know what's weird? 00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.199 They all had to do with burgers, pretty much. 00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:56.699 Anyway. In this case, somebody was choking on 00:39:56.699 --> 00:39:59.360 a burger. Yeah, so it turns out this couple. 00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:00.980 We don't know that it was a burger he was choking 00:40:00.980 --> 00:40:04.659 on. We do not. We can't confirm that. But this 00:40:04.659 --> 00:40:06.590 couple was on their anniversary dinner. They're 00:40:06.590 --> 00:40:08.909 both paramedics. They heard someone yelling, 00:40:09.010 --> 00:40:10.949 you know, this woman's choking. They start doing 00:40:10.949 --> 00:40:14.349 CPR. They clear the area, call 911. Ended up, 00:40:14.630 --> 00:40:16.670 they couldn't. She passed out. And they ended 00:40:16.670 --> 00:40:19.730 up doing chest compressions. Very scary. Come 00:40:19.730 --> 00:40:21.730 to find out they saved her life. It was an elderly 00:40:21.730 --> 00:40:24.309 woman. They saved her life. And she was a regular 00:40:24.309 --> 00:40:26.130 there at the restaurant. And the restaurant owner 00:40:26.130 --> 00:40:28.130 has been really shaken up because she's a regular. 00:40:28.429 --> 00:40:31.289 He said they confirmed, they got a picture from 00:40:31.289 --> 00:40:33.030 her in the hospital. She's fully recovered and 00:40:33.030 --> 00:40:36.030 she's fine, so. I mean, I figured, look, good 00:40:36.030 --> 00:40:39.650 news, York. What's better news than people in 00:40:39.650 --> 00:40:41.409 Syracuse saving them? Listen, and that's, you 00:40:41.409 --> 00:40:43.889 know, just, it's a friendly reminder. Everybody 00:40:43.889 --> 00:40:45.610 thinks, you know, choking. You talk to your kids, 00:40:45.670 --> 00:40:48.210 don't take big bites, things like that. Every 00:40:48.210 --> 00:40:51.769 person of every age can easily choke on something. 00:40:52.070 --> 00:40:56.429 It's incredibly common. And we need to just... 00:40:56.429 --> 00:40:58.829 Sometime I'll have to read you my bucket list 00:40:58.829 --> 00:41:01.389 on the air, because it's pretty goddamn hilarious. 00:41:01.710 --> 00:41:03.389 You want to choke on something? No, no, no, wrong. 00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:06.420 Opposite on my bucket list. I want to save somebody 00:41:06.420 --> 00:41:08.780 from choked. Oh, I just I've always wanted to 00:41:08.780 --> 00:41:10.760 do that ever since this are you sorry out fire? 00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:15.280 Are you Red Cross certified? I was I think it 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.460 expired. Yeah, when I was in college. I had there. 00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:19.360 No, it's it's honestly it's a great thing Honestly, 00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:21.679 I think everybody should it sounds like I'm kind 00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:23.800 of joking but in all honesty It is something 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.480 that everybody should do years ago I've worked 00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:29.460 at a couple places where they've offered CPR 00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:31.860 training and first aid training and even though 00:41:31.860 --> 00:41:34.500 I've had it before, anytime you can take that, 00:41:34.780 --> 00:41:36.639 do so, especially if your employer's willing 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.039 to foot the bill for it. I couldn't agree more. 00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:41.760 The problem with me is all that training goes 00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:43.460 out the window when something happens. I'm like, 00:41:43.780 --> 00:41:46.639 I got it. I'm studying for the test. I nail it. 00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.039 Someone starts choking. I'm like, what do we 00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:52.300 do? I don't know. You know, take their shirt 00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:55.360 off. Cut it. Start doing chest compressions. 00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:57.199 Sir, you don't need to do chest compressions. 00:41:57.260 --> 00:41:59.719 They're breathing. I just, I freak out. So I... 00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:01.119 There's no amount of... I mean, that's something 00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:03.760 you should probably work on. But kidding aside, 00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:06.320 again, preparation is what gets you over those 00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:09.320 things. That's right. You know, when you know 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:12.699 what to do is ingrained in you enough, even that 00:42:12.699 --> 00:42:16.199 freak out instinct, you're gonna jump to acting. 00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.800 One of my favorite quotes from my 11th grade 00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.099 English teacher, fail to prepare, prepare to 00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:26.400 fail, which is why I suck on this show. That's 00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:29.250 like a... It's like a dad ism if I ever heard 00:42:29.250 --> 00:42:32.130 one that isn't but anyway, that's uh, is that 00:42:32.130 --> 00:42:33.769 the news? Is that all we got today? That's you 00:42:33.769 --> 00:42:35.550 know, that was a start. Yeah. All right. It's 00:42:35.550 --> 00:42:37.349 all food related, but it's a start and we'll 00:42:37.349 --> 00:42:40.289 go over You know WrestleMania and of course the 00:42:40.289 --> 00:42:42.469 Metallica concert throughout the week here on 00:42:42.469 --> 00:42:44.809 Good News York. Awesome. Yeah. Awesome Thank 00:42:44.809 --> 00:42:47.849 You Candice Jared promise Yes, thank you to our 00:42:47.849 --> 00:42:49.869 guests. Thank you to Danny. I don't think we 00:42:49.869 --> 00:42:51.829 any trouble I think I've ever thanked Danny on 00:42:51.829 --> 00:42:53.880 the show. Have we ever we've had a We gotta, 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:55.539 you know, here's the thing. You haven't fed me. 00:42:56.519 --> 00:43:00.039 We'll do a little live working on the show here. 00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:03.619 I think we gotta organize some of our segments 00:43:03.619 --> 00:43:06.719 a little more. So like we do, we'll do the news, 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:10.079 we'll get a nice little jingle. I know we got 00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:13.320 the intro, right, that we don't hear. I think 00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:17.000 we need an outro. Or maybe even just like a closing. 00:43:18.469 --> 00:43:22.630 some sort of thing. Tagline or, you know, spay 00:43:22.630 --> 00:43:24.610 and neuter your pets or, you know, some kind 00:43:24.610 --> 00:43:27.730 of... Well, if it's time to... Let's do it. Because 00:43:27.730 --> 00:43:29.769 I've been just kind of following your lead, man. 00:43:29.789 --> 00:43:31.530 What do you think? What should we say at the 00:43:31.530 --> 00:43:37.590 end of the show? I think we should say... If 00:43:37.590 --> 00:43:41.989 you can't be good, be good at it. No. I don't 00:43:41.989 --> 00:43:44.800 know. I don't know. I mean, I think... I think 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:46.380 it just kind of naturally happened, I think. 00:43:46.380 --> 00:43:48.739 Don't sweat the petty stuff, and I won't finish 00:43:48.739 --> 00:43:51.840 that. Don't fry bacon naked. Matt's peace out. 00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:54.800 Peace out. Peace out. That's what we should do. 00:43:55.019 --> 00:44:01.519 Don't fry bacon naked. I mean, it hurts. But 00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:03.760 again, I think we just got to let it happen. 00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:06.139 Daily bit of it. What if we did this? Oh, I got 00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:08.300 a great idea. What do you got? If you're listening 00:44:08.300 --> 00:44:10.400 to the podcast, you tell us if this is a great 00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:12.860 or the stupidest idea I've ever had. We need 00:44:12.860 --> 00:44:15.679 to do a Jerry Springer -style final thought. 00:44:16.780 --> 00:44:18.139 Remember Jerry Springer Show? It's not bad. Did 00:44:18.139 --> 00:44:20.079 you ever stick around to the last... I actually 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.239 did. ...minute of the Springer Show? The reason 00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:24.719 I... Because that was the gold. A lot of people 00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:27.579 skipped over that part. I always listen because 00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:32.780 I just loved the dynamic of going from people 00:44:32.780 --> 00:44:35.659 fighting with, like, live fish and hitting each 00:44:35.659 --> 00:44:37.440 other over the head to now Jerry's telling you 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:38.400 something very serious. You've got the moral 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.949 of the story. Yeah. You know? I love that man. 00:44:40.969 --> 00:44:42.889 It's great. By the way, did you see the documentary 00:44:42.889 --> 00:44:44.769 on that? No. Oh, God, it's fantastic. I think 00:44:44.769 --> 00:44:47.690 it's on Netflix. It's absolutely fantastic. Jerry 00:44:47.690 --> 00:44:49.969 was the band. I've got one before we go. My dad 00:44:49.969 --> 00:44:51.690 still watches the reruns of his show every day. 00:44:51.730 --> 00:44:54.010 I had an idea. And he's like, I want to go home. 00:44:54.030 --> 00:44:56.409 This could be... Shut the fuck up. No, no, no, 00:44:56.429 --> 00:44:59.369 hold on. This could be an amazing idea or horrible. 00:44:59.929 --> 00:45:03.230 What if we start proposing to the public, we'll 00:45:03.230 --> 00:45:06.829 facilitate it, people can come here and try to 00:45:06.829 --> 00:45:09.119 attempt... to break a Guinness Book of World 00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:12.019 Record. We'll facilitate the filming of it, we'll 00:45:12.019 --> 00:45:14.380 get a hold of Guinness, and we'll start like 00:45:14.380 --> 00:45:17.340 once a month, or I don't know. I mean, this is 00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:19.099 the most random thing you've ever come up with. 00:45:20.340 --> 00:45:23.539 I'm not even opposed to it, but we gotta pre 00:45:23.539 --> 00:45:26.119 -screen the... Yo, there's a whole process we 00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:27.900 gotta talk about. We gotta be able to choose 00:45:27.900 --> 00:45:30.380 something that we could possibly do here. I was 00:45:30.380 --> 00:45:32.000 gonna talk about it off the air, and then I saw 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:33.699 Danny said rap, and I wanted to piss him off 00:45:33.699 --> 00:45:35.579 a little bit, so I just started talking about 00:45:35.579 --> 00:45:37.809 it. This is great. This episode is going to be 00:45:37.809 --> 00:45:40.829 called Danny's Pissed. Danny's Pissed. Mike's 00:45:40.829 --> 00:45:42.929 hungry. All right. This is Good News York. Happy 00:45:42.929 --> 00:45:45.369 Monday. Mike Brindisi, Matt Mazur. We'll see 00:45:45.369 --> 00:45:45.590 you tomorrow.
