I'm your host Matt 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:29.480 major joined by my I Don't even have a good look 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.879 alike name today. I know it was vanilla ice and 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.159 then I'm gonna be mark McGrath It's really it 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.219 should stick with mark. We should just call you 00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:40.579 mark someone tell me I looked like You know what, 00:00:40.579 --> 00:00:42.119 what if we just went on and on and talked about 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.439 how you're Mark McGrath and you're Mark McGrath 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:46.359 is the co -host of my show and we went on and 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.719 on about that and we put out like hundreds of 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.719 videos where we call you Mark McGrath. Okay. 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.700 Do you think the actual Mark McGrath would respond? 00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:55.460 I think if it caught, you know, if it got enough 00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.100 legs, I think... Or would you just morph into 00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:00.420 him? Well, I think I would become him. And one 00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:01.960 day I'd show up and you're just singing fly. 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.680 I just wanna fly. That was the first song I ever 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.879 learned and I played at the coffee bar in Herkimer, 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.159 New York over and over. I was the fly guy. So 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.959 it's kind of funny that you brought that back. 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.760 I mean, look, I think we live in a society now 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.480 where I think you could probably make people, 00:01:18.659 --> 00:01:20.519 I think they would believe I am Mark McGrath. 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.700 There's a sector of people that would do that, 00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:24.719 but I'm not. I'm Mike Brindisi. Considerable 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.260 number of children don't even know who Mark McGrath 00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:29.379 is. I know.

I feel like that would 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.819 cause accidents. Yeah, we don't want to, like... 00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:01.019 We don't want that. Yeah, no.

I thought we weren't 00:02:17.289 --> 00:02:18.830 gonna tell people about that. No, but what's 00:02:18.830 --> 00:02:21.770 funny is I was still late for work. Like I woke 00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:24.030 up and I was getting ready and I'm like, holy 00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:26.009 shit, like we're gonna start shooting in a half 00:02:26.009 --> 00:02:28.930 hour, I'm not even ready yet.

She's like, oh, 00:02:41.539 --> 00:02:42.860 I haven't heard from you immediately. I'm like, 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.639 oh my god He's facedown in his cereal.

I made 00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:52.919 it to work. Maybe that's part of it I just want 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.659 to put that out because you have had a heart 00:02:54.659 --> 00:02:56.759 attack.

Makes it sexier that you 00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:11.740 had a heart attack and survived, and we're still 00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:14.539 doing work during it. Like, you have a scar. 00:03:14.539 --> 00:03:16.020 I don't really wear that as a badge of honor. 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.860 That sounds like I'm one of those work -loving 00:03:18.860 --> 00:03:21.699 boomers.

Danny had 00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:41.629 mentioned it the other day. Yeah. So do we need 00:04:41.629 --> 00:04:45.170 to do something? I don't know. Probably.

We'll have to think about that 00:04:49.430 --> 00:04:51.529 tomorrow. I mean, remember that stat? What was 00:04:51.529 --> 00:04:54.189 that stat you laid out that most podcasts? It 00:04:54.189 --> 00:04:57.290 was like 97 or some percent do not make it to 00:04:57.290 --> 00:05:02.029 episode 20. Out of the ones that do, still another 00:05:02.029 --> 00:05:04.829 97 percent or so don't make it to episode 100. 00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:08.050 So what he's saying we're halfway there 60 % 00:05:08.050 --> 00:05:11.189 of the time it works every time we're halfway 00:05:11.189 --> 00:05:15.050 there Here's a little news. Hold on. Oh, sorry. 00:05:15.329 --> 00:05:17.430 Sorry I know the fight you were just dawned on 00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:18.870 me and we didn't talk about this but fuck it 00:05:18.870 --> 00:05:21.970 I'm gonna break this news right now. Okay, because 00:05:21.970 --> 00:05:23.810 as we're talking about everything we're doing 00:05:23.810 --> 00:05:27.269 here in our 50th episode of Good News York You 00:05:27.269 --> 00:05:28.970 know, this is part of a strategy that is part 00:05:28.970 --> 00:05:31.649 of growth mode content. The point of growth mode 00:05:31.649 --> 00:05:35.300 content is to help great local businesses and 00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:38.100 brands get their name out there to capitalize 00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:40.600 on this social media world. There's great TV 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.480 advertising, radio advertising, great billboard 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.480 folks. We're not doing any of that. We're trying 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.079 to do the thing that nobody else is doing, which 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.860 is this social media spot. And we're trying to 00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:56.480 focus on that and 49 episodes in, uh, the month 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.100 of May just ended. We started doing our numbers 00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:03.519 and I'm very excited to say that we had over 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.759 half a million views in the content that we put 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.680 out in the month of May. Oh, shit. Are you serious? 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.259 Yeah. This is not an act. I'm just finding this 00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:13.199 out, too. Half a million? I mean, I can tell 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.939 you this. This shouldn't actually be news to 00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:19.819 you. But to everybody watching, this should be 00:06:19.819 --> 00:06:23.100 news. ADHD. This is an incredible thing. And 00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:26.779 what it shows is, A, that our model is working. 00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:30.819 But be the kind of most basic concept that ain't 00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:32.860 our model It's something that everybody in the 00:06:32.860 --> 00:06:36.160 content business will tell you is that consistency 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.800 is the key We are not necessarily the best and 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.920 most interesting podcast in the world yet and 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.939 our you know Everything is getting better along 00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:47.100 those lines as soon as I get but the reason we're 00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:50.040 putting up these massive numbers Already only 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.339 a couple months in shit is really because of 00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:55.120 that consistency No, you're right. You have said 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.579 that you've preached that from the beginning 00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:59.639 and it just keeps showing itself Yeah with our 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.819 clients and and obviously now with with Good 00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:04.879 News York over half a million views I mean, that's 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.139 amazing, dude Yeah, you know one of my one month 00:07:07.139 --> 00:07:09.860 in one month and one of my favorite quotes was 00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:11.920 from Jerry Seinfeld and ironically I'm probably 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.060 not quoting it correctly. But basically the gist 00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:17.699 was who are these people? But why are we getting 00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:22.189 half a million views on oil change now? He said, 00:07:22.329 --> 00:07:23.930 he's like, I wasn't always the funniest comedian, 00:07:24.009 --> 00:07:26.310 which I could have told him that. But he said, 00:07:26.449 --> 00:07:29.810 I lasted, I stuck around consistently while all 00:07:29.810 --> 00:07:32.009 the other comics I was coming up with were giving 00:07:32.009 --> 00:07:34.009 up or dropping like flies, I just stuck with 00:07:34.009 --> 00:07:36.149 it consistently. And I'm not saying Jerry Seinfeld's 00:07:36.149 --> 00:07:37.970 not funny. I mean, he's one of the most successful 00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:39.709 entertainers in the world. Jerry Seinfeld's like 00:07:39.709 --> 00:07:43.629 a virus, I get it. Sure. And what is a virus? 00:07:44.389 --> 00:07:46.490 But he, yeah, I mean, and it's kind of the same 00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:49.470 deal. Consistency is key and we have been consistent. 00:07:50.009 --> 00:07:51.889 And we can you know listen and every time you 00:07:51.889 --> 00:07:54.209 think we think that we figured out the algorithms 00:07:54.209 --> 00:07:56.110 We we just can't because our what's our most 00:07:56.110 --> 00:08:00.449 famous video to date? Still our oil change our 00:08:00.449 --> 00:08:02.730 oil fucking change video. It was a question. 00:08:02.790 --> 00:08:06.370 I just came up with on the spot when we had Dan 00:08:06.370 --> 00:08:10.459 Dan Garcia yep from The Garage of 3100. I don't 00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:12.699 remember anything. The Garage of 3100. He was 00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:15.180 on here, and I just on a whim thought of the 00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:18.300 question, you know, is it true, you hear about 00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:20.920 3 ,000 miles for an oil change, but then I've 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.879 heard 5 ,000. Can you dispel that rumor?

Nothing 00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:07.440 ever happens as quickly as you want it to This 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.480 is something that requires building and momentum 00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:13.850 But the cool part about that is once you get 00:10:13.850 --> 00:10:16.909 that, it's way easier to keep the ball rolling. 00:10:17.009 --> 00:10:19.950 And like you talked about, we've had this one 00:10:19.950 --> 00:10:22.870 video go super viral. We've had a number of others 00:10:22.870 --> 00:10:25.889 that have done incredibly impressive numbers 00:10:25.889 --> 00:10:29.250 as well. And those all drive each other. And 00:10:29.250 --> 00:10:33.129 that's the part that is really cool is it's not. 00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:37.870 Can I get a million views on one video? But can 00:10:37.870 --> 00:10:40.789 we start to consistently get our message out? 00:10:40.830 --> 00:10:43.809 And of course, we're seeing it in the real reactions, 00:10:43.909 --> 00:10:45.889 right? Yeah, yeah. We're getting people that 00:10:45.889 --> 00:10:48.009 come on the show, people that we see out and 00:10:48.009 --> 00:10:50.110 around town. That freaks me out. Commenting about 00:10:50.110 --> 00:10:53.740 stuff. The wildest part is when they comment 00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:55.000 about something they heard on the show without 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.740 any context. Yeah Yeah, they don't start with 00:10:56.740 --> 00:10:58.779 hey, I was listening to your show. They go Oh, 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.080 I heard you you don't like doing your lawn or 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.100 some shit. I'm like, how'd you know that about 00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:05.960 me? Oh, right. I talked about put this shit out 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.500 in the public. Right. Well, it's because we live 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:10.980 in a world right now, this bubble, that there's 00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:14.620 not immediate, it's not live, right? So we don't 00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:16.580 know. You know, when you're performing on stage, 00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:19.120 you get immediate feedback. For me, people fall 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.340 asleep, they throw shit at me. You know, I know 00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:23.559 they don't like me. But now, I have to wait till 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.899 people come in to tell me they don't like me. 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.600 And that's the beauty of podcasting. I guess 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.620 if we did really bad, people might like egg the 00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:32.039 studio. That'd be cool. We've never had just 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:33.799 throw tomatoes at the outside. I probably shouldn't 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.580 encourage that but no, please don't my landlords 00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:40.700 What's going on with these tomatoes? Wacka Wacka, 00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:43.419 I think I think the big thing though, you know 00:11:43.419 --> 00:11:44.679 how you're talking about purely with my favorite 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.259 YouTube subscriber gets a million views You know, 00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:49.000 I think what that stems from is kind of like 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.179 our generation's version of like when I was up 00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:54.519 and coming Here coming up and doing music or 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.460 comedy. It was always We gotta, we gotta get 00:11:57.460 --> 00:11:59.379 that one hit, you know, if you just get that 00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:01.279 one hit, you know, and that happens overnight. 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.139 And we have this thing, you know, and there's 00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:06.220 been cases where people have blown up overnight 00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:09.580 and songs have gotten popular overnight. But 00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:11.879 my dad always said, like the fastest, the faster 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.019 you climb the ladder is as fast as you can fall. 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.860 So it's, it's almost better to have a slow rise. 00:12:17.179 --> 00:12:19.059 And cause I mean, I can, I can think of probably 00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:21.039 a million times in my life where I wanted something 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.159 the next day. And thank God that that dream didn't 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.899 come to fruition. Cause I I would not have been 00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:27.759 ready and I would have fucked it all up. I can 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:33.799 guarantee that. I would rather have 500 views 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.179 from people that, like for our clients, I would 00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:40.779 rather have them get 500 views on something of 00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:44.179 500 people that could be potential business partners 00:12:44.179 --> 00:12:46.559 than a million views of people that are just 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.149 gonna watch it. That's the other side of it, 00:12:48.210 --> 00:12:50.470 too. And it's also why I sometimes even hesitate 00:12:50.470 --> 00:12:53.690 to brag about when we have big numbers because 00:12:53.690 --> 00:12:55.769 the reality is exactly like what you just said. 00:12:56.629 --> 00:12:59.149 It's not necessarily the point. The point is 00:12:59.149 --> 00:13:03.190 not, you know, we provide a service primarily 00:13:03.190 --> 00:13:07.149 here in upstate New York. So when five million 00:13:07.149 --> 00:13:10.610 people see our shit in California. Yeah, that's 00:13:10.610 --> 00:13:13.529 cool. Yeah. But when we're talking about growing 00:13:13.529 --> 00:13:16.710 our business, does that. Really have that value 00:13:16.710 --> 00:13:21.049 and the answer is not necessarily no But when 00:13:21.049 --> 00:13:23.669 you're you know, maybe there's like you said 00:13:23.669 --> 00:13:27.370 500 potential clients in this area in the region 00:13:27.370 --> 00:13:29.769 those folks seeing it and that's what you see 00:13:29.769 --> 00:13:31.809 more and more and and that's what unfortunately 00:13:31.809 --> 00:13:35.029 some of the numbers don't Lend themselves to 00:13:35.029 --> 00:13:37.169 because some of the stuff that I feel like nobody 00:13:37.169 --> 00:13:40.330 watched is the stuff that people comment on. 00:13:40.710 --> 00:13:43.289 I know. It's weird. And those are the things 00:13:43.289 --> 00:13:45.830 that don't have the record breaking numbers. 00:13:46.429 --> 00:13:48.450 Yeah. And don't get us wrong. We're not sitting 00:13:48.450 --> 00:13:51.490 here like Cremujans like, yeah, that's why we 00:13:51.490 --> 00:13:53.490 don't want a million views. Of course, a million 00:13:53.490 --> 00:13:55.549 views would be great. We're not saying we don't 00:13:55.549 --> 00:13:58.129 want our clients or ourselves to go viral. It's 00:13:58.129 --> 00:14:00.450 just it's more about quality than quantity. And 00:14:00.450 --> 00:14:06.039 it's the whole thing. This organic thing. Podcasting 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.960 in general is about getting to know a person. 00:14:09.299 --> 00:14:11.919 It's not about selling the product. It's not 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.720 about doing anything else exactly. It's not even 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.460 selling you, I wouldn't say. I don't even know 00:14:16.460 --> 00:14:18.600 if that's accurate because it's... You're introducing 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.460 yourself. It's letting people get that real... 00:14:22.319 --> 00:14:24.659 View with that real perspective that you have 00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:26.860 that you can normally only get when you're around 00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:28.679 another human, right? Right, whether they're 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.139 your co -worker whether there's somebody you 00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:33.659 interact with you know, you see politicians you 00:14:33.659 --> 00:14:36.080 see the president on TV you get clips right and 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:39.529 and you sort of get an idea but Until you work 00:14:39.529 --> 00:14:41.570 with somebody so you can spend hours with them 00:14:41.570 --> 00:14:43.929 Which is what I sort of and this medium allows 00:14:43.929 --> 00:14:45.549 you to do and that's what's great about this 00:14:45.549 --> 00:14:49.909 medium too is and again We totally are pro radio 00:14:49.909 --> 00:14:52.570 TV billboard advertising all of that stuff works, 00:14:52.570 --> 00:14:56.649 but what's great about podcasting is You can 00:14:56.649 --> 00:14:59.669 introduce yourself and show who you are to people 00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:02.399 and not have to cram it in a 30 or 60 second 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.919 spot. And it's just much easier to convey that. 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.379 And, you know, talking about views, I think I've 00:15:07.379 --> 00:15:10.820 said this before. You know, the reason why less 00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:13.299 view quantity over quality with views and likes 00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:16.419 is because imagine opening a restaurant and then 00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:18.820 you decide to pay for advertising over in California. 00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:20.639 But you have a but your restaurants right here 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.820 in Syracuse, New York. Well, that's great that 00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:25.580 you have a million views on that commercial in 00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:27.299 Cal, but nobody's gonna be able to come. So, 00:15:27.299 --> 00:15:30.080 you know, again. Millions of views are great, 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.779 but it's more about the quality of the views 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:35.700 and likes that you're getting. And as much as 00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:38.159 we're downplaying that, I'm pretty fucking happy, 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:43.039 dude. I could not agree more. I'm glad the hard 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.440 work is paying off. You gentlemen are kicking 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.440 ass. Our editors behind the scenes are kicking 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.379 ass. We've got a great team. And the guests. 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.340 You know, that's the other thing is people... 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.379 People enjoy our banter a little bit. Yeah, they 00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:57.419 tune in to hear the guests They tune in to learn 00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:58.840 about these things that they don't know anything 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.710 about and so we can't thank them enough and We 00:16:03.710 --> 00:16:06.309 got an incredible roster of more and we will 00:16:06.309 --> 00:16:09.169 continue And you're the you're the GM you're 00:16:09.169 --> 00:16:11.549 the coach and we're just the players Yeah, but 00:16:11.549 --> 00:16:13.190 you're the man trying to deliver man and all 00:16:13.190 --> 00:16:15.789 that all that booking is is really completely 00:16:15.789 --> 00:16:18.309 Something that you've done and just as a quick 00:16:18.309 --> 00:16:20.429 side note if you want to join us on the show 00:16:20.429 --> 00:16:22.429 Yes, if we haven't reached out, please don't 00:16:22.429 --> 00:16:24.409 be offended.

But I 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.380 know some of you are going to think this first 00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:40.720 thing is a little bit of old news, but it'd be 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.779 ridiculous if we didn't mention it, especially 00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:45.460 because we are Good News York. We got some championships 00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:49.039 going on, buddy. Cornell Lacrosse, in my digs 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.559 of Ithaca, New York, just won their first national 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:58.160 title since 1977. And that was led by their absolute 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:06.369 star, Mr. CJ cursed who is Just tied the NCAA 00:19:06.369 --> 00:19:08.589 record for most goals in a season which is 85 00:19:08.589 --> 00:19:11.569 now. I will admit. I'm a I love sports. I'm a 00:19:11.569 --> 00:19:15.690 sports guy But I you know lacrosse is not my 00:19:15.690 --> 00:19:17.890 strong suit, but that is a lot of fucking goals. 00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:22.349 You know I Don't know. I mean lacrosse is bigger 00:19:22.349 --> 00:19:26.119 than you think It's well this the thing is like 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.740 you hear about this and obviously you talk about 00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:29.960 national champions This is a major school and 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:32.160 and this is a major win for them and congratulations. 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.559 I just wonder why You know, there's not like 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.660 a pro lacrosse league there is Oh, and that's 00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:41.279 my second story. Oh, see you there. Well, that's 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.720 a good point, though, because I mean, the fact 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.099 that I don't know the fact that you didn't even 00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:46.940 know that the Buffalo Bandits are celebrating 00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:51.160 their seventh national lacrosse, the NLL championship. 00:19:51.579 --> 00:19:53.920 They did it at Alumni Plaza. That's their seventh 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.519 title and their third title in a row. Three Pete, 00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.880 which is a Bills fan. I mean, I'm not following 00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:02.779 across, but. I don't, again, I don't want to 00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:04.859 be obnoxious or to shit on lacrosse, but like, 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.220 is that because their league is only three teams? 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.460 Okay, well, I don't know how many are in the 00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:13.359 league, but, I mean, you really didn't shit on... 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.440 It's a fun sport, it's fun to watch. Listen, 00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:18.980 it's action -packed, it's a... They sort of have 00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:22.059 a weapon, you know? The indigenous people are 00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:25.920 the ones that started lacrosse, and somewhere 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.799 along the way, of course, we stole that idea 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.470 and... And we've made it into a professional 00:20:31.470 --> 00:20:33.609 league and it's in college But I do think it 00:20:33.609 --> 00:20:35.670 is more of a regional thing and we live in an 00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:39.569 area that is well, that's a huge Indigenous descent. 00:20:39.710 --> 00:20:42.190 So I the National League, but I really wonder 00:20:42.190 --> 00:20:44.390 you know, it's Yeah, are there lacrosse teams 00:20:44.390 --> 00:20:47.170 in all 50 states?

Yeah so 00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.299 much so That they are getting noticed by venture 00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:34.279 capitalists with a recent infusion of a hundred 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.140 million dollars in new investor funding So they're 00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:39.279 on track to grow even more right here in Central, 00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:42.859 New York They were founded in 2018 to develop 00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:45.319 a system for detecting and tracking Hard -to 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.559 -see drones that pose a danger in midair collisions 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:50.200 and things like that. The drone businessman is 00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:53.880 a business It's a thing for those people don't 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:55.859 know if you're not from the Syracuse area, which 00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:59.259 you might not know even just folks that are There's 00:23:59.259 --> 00:24:01.720 been a massive investment in drone technology 00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:05.079 specifically in our area and The Air Force base 00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:09.059 right behind us actually is one of the main Spots 00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:10.980 for government drone testing and things of that 00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:13.740 nature.

Everywhere 00:24:58.130 --> 00:25:00.730 I go, there's cranes. That's a sign you're in 00:25:00.730 --> 00:25:03.230 a good spot when you see this constant building 00:25:03.230 --> 00:25:06.650 going on. Micron, hidden level. It almost feels 00:25:06.650 --> 00:25:09.549 like it's too good to be true. The amount of 00:25:09.549 --> 00:25:13.430 growth going on. It's exciting, dude. We had 00:25:13.430 --> 00:25:15.250 been on the other end of the cycle for a long 00:25:15.250 --> 00:25:18.150 time, and now it's our time. But people will 00:25:18.150 --> 00:25:20.309 still find stuff to bitch about, though. Our 00:25:20.309 --> 00:25:23.609 weather sucks. Bitching is our number one export. 00:25:23.769 --> 00:25:25.940 No one is better at it than we are. I'm waiting. 00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:28.599 We're in that window where, um, people bitch 00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:30.880 about how cold it is. I'm so cold. I want the 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.079 water. And now we should be, we're a few days 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:34.839 away where someone's going to bitch about how 00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:37.880 hot it is. Yeah. Yeah. It is hot today. I can't 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.609 deal with this humidity. Uh, well. This is old 00:25:41.609 --> 00:25:44.190 news, the beginning, which is, if you remember, 00:25:44.369 --> 00:25:47.109 one of Syracuse's biggest hotels closed October 00:25:47.109 --> 00:25:51.250 20 to 24. That would be the, um, Syracuse, uh, 00:25:51.309 --> 00:25:53.569 the Plaza, Crown Plaza Hotel. Kind of looks like 00:25:53.569 --> 00:25:55.549 the Leaning Tower of Pisa would look like if 00:25:55.549 --> 00:25:57.390 it wasn't leaning. See, I always said it looks 00:25:57.390 --> 00:25:59.859 like the Capitol Records building. I'm a music 00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:02.220 guy and I was always intrigued and I told my 00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:05.259 wife big round tower It's a big cylinder tower 00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:07.099 in downtown Syracuse It looks like the Capitol 00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:09.599 Records building and because I'm a child just 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.480 because of that I've always wanted to stay there 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.579 You know the windows and now I'm finding out 00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:17.200 first of all I can't because it's closed and 00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:21.240 second of all turns out the 279 room Crowne Plaza 00:26:21.549 --> 00:26:24.730 has stopped all operations because they're going 00:26:24.730 --> 00:26:27.349 to be converting it into apartments. And I've 00:26:27.349 --> 00:26:30.329 been driving by on my way in every day, and they 00:26:30.329 --> 00:26:32.650 switched from that really crappy hospital mint 00:26:32.650 --> 00:26:34.589 green on the outside. I noticed, it looks like 00:26:34.589 --> 00:26:36.390 they're doing maybe new windows. Yeah, it's like 00:26:36.390 --> 00:26:38.809 a sleek black, dude. It looks real, like, as 00:26:38.809 --> 00:26:40.609 far as just aesthetically for the skyline. The 00:26:40.609 --> 00:26:42.289 window frame and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:26:42.609 --> 00:26:46.369 I don't know why I attribute, like, that minty, 00:26:46.470 --> 00:26:48.329 bluish green to, like, psychiatric ward. Well, 00:26:48.670 --> 00:26:50.930 here's, first of all... I didn't like it. I don't 00:26:50.930 --> 00:26:52.589 think it's supposed to be that color. I think 00:26:52.589 --> 00:26:55.029 that's sort of the patina of age. So that's one 00:26:55.029 --> 00:26:56.710 of the challenges with that. Yeah. Because I 00:26:56.710 --> 00:26:58.329 think that was white at one time, what you're 00:26:58.329 --> 00:27:01.970 talking about. Probably. You know. Yeah. It's 00:27:01.970 --> 00:27:03.849 gonna look pretty sharp as a soon look great. 00:27:03.970 --> 00:27:05.150 Is it all but I didn't know they're doing anything 00:27:05.150 --> 00:27:06.630 like that Oh, dude, it looks good. It's gonna 00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:09.190 look it looks brand new place So I can't stay 00:27:09.190 --> 00:27:10.769 there unless I sleep over someone's apartment 00:27:10.769 --> 00:27:12.250 So if you're gonna live in the new Crowne Plaza 00:27:12.250 --> 00:27:13.910 building and you want me to sleep over there 00:27:13.910 --> 00:27:16.630 you go producer at growth mode tech comm I snore 00:27:16.630 --> 00:27:19.990 but I have a CPAP One upstate New York County 00:27:19.990 --> 00:27:23.069 was in the top 50 nationwide for pay growth and 00:27:23.069 --> 00:27:25.450 this is where I want to ask you girl This means 00:27:25.450 --> 00:27:29.190 people in that county are getting bigger paychecks 00:27:29.190 --> 00:27:30.789 and they were getting less. I will tell you this 00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.279 The U .S. rank by the percentage of change is 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:40.200 six. They are now sixth. And it is a change of 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:44.680 about 9 .5 percent. Wait, let me make sure I 00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:46.500 got this right. Hold on, hold on. Here we go. 00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:51.440 Here we go. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. OK. Can you guess 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:56.579 which county in New York has made the top 50 00:27:56.579 --> 00:28:01.079 nationwide for pay growth? I'm going to. Yes 00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:04.799 Just because it's where we're on in Daga County 00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.759 on in Daga is incorrect how they however They 00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:13.220 are in the top four percent or the top four on 00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:16.440 the list The answer my friend is blowing in the 00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:20.390 wind. It is Broome County, dude Broom County. 00:28:20.630 --> 00:28:22.630 Binghamton area. What is happening down there? 00:28:22.630 --> 00:28:25.789 I don't know. But their average weekly pay in 00:28:25.789 --> 00:28:28.650 New York counties was $1 ,000. Well, now it's 00:28:28.650 --> 00:28:33.910 $1 ,175, the average weekly pay for Broom County. 00:28:34.069 --> 00:28:37.190 Suffolk's up there, Dutchess, Onondaga, Westchester, 00:28:37.329 --> 00:28:41.470 New York, Oneida, Monroe. But yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:28:42.430 --> 00:28:45.789 Pretty exciting. Pay growth is the greatest thing 00:28:45.789 --> 00:28:48.640 ever. And a lot of employers like me It's not 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:49.880 something you'd normally hear them say. Yeah. 00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:53.519 But I'm with it. Yeah. Looking at this list right 00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.059 here. Now on there, it looks like Suffolk is 00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:59.119 the winner, but it was - Suffolk? Suffolk County? 00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:02.200 Suffolk County? Suffolk. Suffolk. Suffolk. Did 00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:04.960 I just - Suffolk? Did I just - is that what I 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.640 said? Are you Canadian? I think so, eh? How long 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.420 have you lived? Sorry about it. Sorry about it. 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.839 I uh So folk so folk listen. I know the thing 00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.779 i've been seeing it is skinny atlas I know it's 00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:21.180 tecanic park. I know it's tecanic No, no, i'm 00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:24.359 talking about tecanic state park in in ithaca 00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.160 and the tecanic is the highway. Yeah parkway 00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:29.240 I know all the proper pronunciations in new york, 00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:30.619 but I don't know what just happened There either 00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:32.779 had a stroke or maybe I have been saying it wrong 00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:34.660 I think we got to do this bit where we named 00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:36.980 towns in new york. Uh, not right now, but not 00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:41.970 now So folk so folk wait, no, you don't put this 00:29:41.970 --> 00:29:45.609 dress on the folk so folk. It's so folk Suffolk, 00:29:45.789 --> 00:29:47.450 it's Suffolk Suffolk Suffolk Suffolk County. 00:29:47.450 --> 00:29:50.970 Yeah, it's a folk. Did I really? God damn it 00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.819 And now I just want to call it that because that's 00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:55.259 actually way more interesting. That was number 00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:57.700 one. The average pay there was fifteen hundred 00:29:57.700 --> 00:30:01.380 bucks a week. That's up nine and a half percent. 00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:03.599 See, but Suffolk is listed as the number one. 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:05.539 But when I read the article, it said that Broome 00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:07.220 County was the winner. So when I pulled this 00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:10.019 chart out, it threw me off because Suffolk Suffolk 00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:12.180 is above. Technically, technically, Broome. I 00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:14.319 mean, if you want to call it upstate counties, 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:16.420 then OK, maybe that's what it would definitely 00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:20.039 be Suffolk. Yeah. I just like it because I feel 00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:22.420 like Broom gets a real bad rap, that county. 00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:24.680 No, it's great news for them. And I'm happy for 00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:26.240 them. I really am. It's great news for them. 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.099 I've performed a lot down that way in the way 00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:31.440 of comedy, and I've got friends down that way, 00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:33.400 and we've been to Binghamton Mets games in the 00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.079 past. Number three is Dutchess County. Dutchess 00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.319 County. That's where my grandparents, I think, 00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:41.099 were from. Where is that? Peekskill, Westchester. 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:43.740 Peekskill, Fishkill, all that. And then Onondaga. 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:46.200 Interestingly enough, Dutchess and Onondaga are 00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:48.000 sort of tied for the... the third spot. They 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.039 changed or they grew 5 .2 percent. So I would 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.940 say they're sort of tied. No, I just thought 00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:58.339 this was interesting. It is interesting. New 00:30:58.339 --> 00:31:00.500 York County, which is obviously the city of New 00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:03.299 York, they grew by 4 .8 percent. So what that 00:31:03.299 --> 00:31:07.140 is telling me is upstate is growing, especially 00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:12.319 by a massive higher number. We're growers and 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.390 showers up here. It is. I'm see this is what 00:31:15.390 --> 00:31:16.869 I'm talking about just a few minutes ago. Look 00:31:16.869 --> 00:31:18.710 at all the growth going on man Oneida County 00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:20.849 right up the road. They're very high up on the 00:31:20.849 --> 00:31:23.690 list. They grew 4 .6 percent. Where's her come 00:31:23.690 --> 00:31:27.390 around there? Okay, this is where I grew up. 00:31:27.390 --> 00:31:32.150 Where's the opposite list? Where's the? Pay the 00:31:32.150 --> 00:31:35.750 decline. I mean the shit on no, we're not only 00:31:35.750 --> 00:31:37.849 that's where we grew up Yeah, we're from there. 00:31:37.849 --> 00:31:39.269 We can do that. Yeah, we're actually allowed 00:31:39.269 --> 00:31:41.150 You're not allowed to shit on Herkimer County 00:31:41.150 --> 00:31:44.140 unless you grew up there like us And we're lovingly 00:31:44.140 --> 00:31:47.559 shitting on them. It's like an easy poo. This 00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:51.000 is interesting. Easy poo. The really interesting 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.200 part about this is that this whole massive list 00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:56.319 of all these different counties in New York, 00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:59.279 all of which are showing sizable, measurable 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:03.579 pay growth. That's huge, man. People want to 00:32:03.579 --> 00:32:07.980 knock our state. You can come to almost any part 00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:10.640 of it and make more money. And now it's time 00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:13.200 to piss off closed -minded people. Yeah! It is 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:17.420 Pride Month. Yes it is. And two institutions 00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:19.660 that we love, the New York State Fair and the 00:32:19.660 --> 00:32:23.380 Syracuse Mets, are celebrating Pride nights and 00:32:23.380 --> 00:32:25.259 Pride days. New York State Fair announced their 00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:28.259 Pride Day lineup. You've got Lily Rose, 1 p .m. 00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:31.259 at the Chevy Court. This is on August 22nd. Technically 00:32:31.259 --> 00:32:33.720 that's not for this month for Pride Month, but 00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:35.680 that's their actual... True! It is Pride Month, 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:37.079 but this is... They have a Pride Day during the 00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.660 fair. Thank you. Thank you, yes.

Jesse Murph, 8 p .m. at Suburban Park. 00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:52.799 And I don't know how I feel about this, but there's 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.259 a Lady Gaga tribute band at 9 p .m. And I just 00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:58.660 feel like, is that not kind of like playing into 00:32:58.660 --> 00:33:00.400 the stereotype? Like you may as well have like 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.970 a Barbra Streisand like. tap -dancing class, 00:33:03.210 --> 00:33:04.910 like, you know what I mean? Is it okay? Okay. 00:33:04.910 --> 00:33:07.230 Why not? All right. And then our - Who doesn't 00:33:07.230 --> 00:33:09.650 love Lady Gaga? Who doesn't love a fake Lady 00:33:09.650 --> 00:33:13.049 Gaga? Listen, I love - Just like Lady Ga? Listen, 00:33:13.289 --> 00:33:15.089 I fell in love with Lady Gaga when I heard her 00:33:15.089 --> 00:33:17.269 on an interview. Or would it be Lady Gaga Ga? 00:33:17.509 --> 00:33:22.359 And she said - Lady Gaga goo -goo. She said that 00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:25.599 she her ideal night out is going to a dive bar 00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:27.519 shooting whiskey and playing the jukebox And 00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.200 I'm like, that's um, wow, I love my wife, but 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.769 that's yeah, she's awesome but also our I did 00:33:34.769 --> 00:33:36.569 want to say just along those lines of the Pride 00:33:36.569 --> 00:33:38.950 events, if that is something you're into, almost 00:33:38.950 --> 00:33:41.930 every area here in upstate New York, every local 00:33:41.930 --> 00:33:44.630 area has some kind of event going. There's some 00:33:44.630 --> 00:33:48.130 kind of organization that's putting it on. Check 00:33:48.130 --> 00:33:49.930 that out. There's parades.

A little note for those that 00:33:56.829 --> 00:33:59.829 get very upset. Yep. You should probably understand 00:33:59.829 --> 00:34:03.750 that Pride started as a protest. That's right. 00:34:04.089 --> 00:34:06.910 It is not something that is a matter of we're 00:34:06.910 --> 00:34:09.710 just we just want everybody to know about our 00:34:09.710 --> 00:34:13.929 yeah. It is literally a remembrance of people 00:34:13.929 --> 00:34:16.530 fighting and losing their lives for the right 00:34:16.530 --> 00:34:18.630 to exist. That is not a joke. You know, when 00:34:18.630 --> 00:34:20.630 you when you you knock some of these things or 00:34:20.630 --> 00:34:22.670 you think it's just somebody selling a break 00:34:22.670 --> 00:34:24.809 celebrating what they walk away for fun.

Is that as exciting? 00:36:34.690 --> 00:36:36.530 Do you think every meal that gentleman eats is 00:36:36.530 --> 00:36:38.289 a competition for him? Does it work? Listen, 00:36:38.550 --> 00:36:42.650 we tried to get him on here. I had millions of 00:36:42.650 --> 00:36:44.769 questions. How does he train you around? How 00:36:44.769 --> 00:36:47.449 is he not fat? Do you think that he like, you 00:36:47.449 --> 00:36:49.730 know, it's just like lunchtime and they put a 00:36:49.730 --> 00:36:52.210 sandwich in front of him and he he just takes 00:36:52.210 --> 00:36:55.969 it to you. You know, what would be crazy is watching 00:36:55.969 --> 00:36:58.710 him just eat one hot dog casually, like he's 00:36:58.710 --> 00:37:01.269 at a ball game and he does he only eat at competitions 00:37:01.269 --> 00:37:04.570 and like he just fasts the rest. Yeah, these 00:37:04.570 --> 00:37:06.929 are all valid questions. Normally I would laugh 00:37:06.929 --> 00:37:09.630 at that. But I mean, why is 40 ,000 calories 00:37:09.630 --> 00:37:12.889 in 12 minutes? You're good for the month, right? 00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.400 Is that the way it works? Yeah, well they also 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:18.579 need to study his body. Because we need to know 00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:20.460 the long term effects of this competitive eating. 00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.380 And what happened to Kobayashi, man? He got dethroned 00:37:23.380 --> 00:37:25.960 by... Listen, I realize he does speed eating, 00:37:26.019 --> 00:37:27.719 but I guarantee there's a few of us that have 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:29.820 eaten more hot dogs than that fella. If you did 00:37:29.820 --> 00:37:32.780 the hot dog eating, would you do the dunk the 00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:35.199 bun? No. Me either. No. I think that makes me 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.159 sick. We were talking about this yesterday. That's 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.679 fucking gross. It's disgusting. It's really gross. 00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:41.940 But is it necessary, though? Well, I mean, it 00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:44.179 speeds it up. I mean, you know how bread... The 00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:45.480 biggest part is, you know, you're eating bread 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:47.199 and it gets... You can't eat dry bread. I mean, 00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:48.480 in your mouth. But the way they... So if you're 00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:50.860 trying to jam it down, you know, they wet it 00:37:50.860 --> 00:37:54.000 so it just slides down your gullet. That's how 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:56.920 I eat on first dates. I just take my food, I 00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:58.880 dunk it in water, because then if they stay with 00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:00.780 me, I know they really love me for who I am. 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:02.679 Boneless wings, though, man. Is that as exciting? 00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:05.860 Boneless wings. And imagine if they're spicy. 00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:09.760 Yikes. I don't want to say this. Just say it. 00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:11.980 I feel like I could out eat almost anybody when 00:38:11.980 --> 00:38:13.639 it comes to boneless wings. Why did you just 00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:17.079 say that? Maybe not speed. Definitely in volume. 00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:19.239 Are we going to have to do this? No, because 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.119 I'll die. Oh, I don't want you to die. I won't 00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:22.920 die. It's chicken. No, you'll just show up. Here's 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:26.179 the thing. In reality, I feel like I would be 00:38:26.179 --> 00:38:29.679 somehow doing a disservice to my fat kinsman 00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:34.199 if I were to eat the fake... Fat kinsman is a 00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:38.590 great band name. The fake... chunks of chicken 00:38:38.590 --> 00:38:40.869 known as boneless wings. We all know they aren't 00:38:40.869 --> 00:38:42.170 fucking wings. They don't have anything to do 00:38:42.170 --> 00:38:44.630 with a wing. They're just a cheap chunk of chicken 00:38:44.630 --> 00:38:46.329 that somebody cut up and called wings because 00:38:46.329 --> 00:38:48.670 wings got expensive. And somehow they still cost 00:38:48.670 --> 00:38:50.329 as much as wings. I don't understand that part 00:38:50.329 --> 00:38:53.030 either. But anyway, if you're going to do a real 00:38:53.030 --> 00:38:55.150 contest, it has to be real wings. You got to 00:38:55.150 --> 00:38:56.710 navigate the bone. I could do a pickle eating 00:38:56.710 --> 00:38:58.469 contest. I think I could do pickle eating contest. 00:38:58.670 --> 00:39:03.710 I don't even want to get into that. OK. Before 00:39:03.710 --> 00:39:06.389 we go though if if there was a wing -eating contest 00:39:06.389 --> 00:39:08.190 and this is the lead Danny's like I got fucking 00:39:08.190 --> 00:39:10.949 I got game systems to my Mother Danny's excited 00:39:10.949 --> 00:39:13.050 because the switch is coming. Yeah, we shouldn't 00:39:13.050 --> 00:39:15.090 tell we're not gonna break. Oh, don't gonna make 00:39:15.090 --> 00:39:18.269 his line longer I'm sorry. Don't go as if nerds 00:39:18.269 --> 00:39:20.369 don't already know this go eat hot dogs What 00:39:20.369 --> 00:39:21.630 was I talking about before I was making fun of 00:39:21.630 --> 00:39:24.829 Danny? Oh, oh bonus wings bonus wings. Yeah wing 00:39:24.829 --> 00:39:29.530 -eating contest. Yeah Would you get the choice? 00:39:29.969 --> 00:39:33.260 Oh Would it be random? Or would they provide 00:39:33.260 --> 00:39:35.960 an even amount of one bone and two boner wings? 00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:41.739 I just love that you said two boner. But, um... 00:39:41.739 --> 00:39:44.380 I don't know what you're asking. What are you 00:39:44.380 --> 00:39:46.019 asking? Different types of wings. You know how 00:39:46.019 --> 00:39:47.519 they got... Oh, you're talking about like... 00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:50.019 Like flats and drums? I call it one bone and 00:39:50.019 --> 00:39:52.320 two bones. My wife and I are... We like flats. 00:39:52.619 --> 00:39:55.940 If we both like flats, when we get wings, I'm 00:39:55.940 --> 00:39:59.340 nice. For every paddle or flat I take, I take 00:39:59.340 --> 00:40:02.179 a leg, to be fair. I feel like that is the more 00:40:02.179 --> 00:40:04.639 popular wing, but I personally am a one -bone 00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.179 guy all day long. Listen, this could spark another 00:40:07.179 --> 00:40:12.380 oil change debate. Let's throw it out there. 00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:15.059 So hold on. Aside from my personal preference, 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:17.139 just to answer me this question, if there was 00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:19.340 a wing -eating contest that you were to set up... 00:40:19.889 --> 00:40:22.349 Would you give people the choice of one or the 00:40:22.349 --> 00:40:25.130 other? Would you give them a random assortment, 00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:27.409 or would you make sure it's an equal number of 00:40:27.409 --> 00:40:31.670 each? So, Mike Brindisi says, who gives a fuck, 00:40:31.809 --> 00:40:33.829 just make sure they're all the same flavor and 00:40:33.829 --> 00:40:35.710 it's the same number. Just same as you'd get 00:40:35.710 --> 00:40:37.570 from the pizzeria, random assortment of 20 whatever. 00:40:37.570 --> 00:40:40.050 My producer mind says you're right. It should 00:40:40.050 --> 00:40:42.369 be the same, the equal amount. You're right, 00:40:42.469 --> 00:40:45.269 because the flats are a little bit thinner, easier 00:40:45.269 --> 00:40:48.349 to pull the meat off. You don't want to give 00:40:48.349 --> 00:40:50.309 someone too many legs. So I think you do. I think 00:40:50.309 --> 00:40:52.130 you're right. I think you have to have the exact 00:40:52.130 --> 00:40:56.349 amount of flats to, what is it, legs? To make 00:40:56.349 --> 00:40:58.329 it fair, yeah. Yeah, knuckles, legs, whatever. 00:40:59.269 --> 00:41:01.150 Yeah, I think you're onto something there. So 00:41:01.150 --> 00:41:04.030 I will leave you on this. The one thing that 00:41:04.030 --> 00:41:06.130 is very interesting to me is here we get the 00:41:06.130 --> 00:41:08.690 regular, we get the bone, and we get the two 00:41:08.690 --> 00:41:11.230 boner. things, right? Please, back in the day 00:41:11.230 --> 00:41:16.349 when I lived down south, you'd go to a lot of 00:41:16.349 --> 00:41:19.429 the restaurants, you'd get wings and the, sorry, 00:41:19.610 --> 00:41:24.650 Two Boner also had the extra wing piece. Do you 00:41:24.650 --> 00:41:26.050 know what I'm talking about? It's not a piece 00:41:26.050 --> 00:41:28.670 you can eat. It's literally just a chunk that, 00:41:29.010 --> 00:41:30.630 we're lucky enough most people just lop it off. 00:41:30.730 --> 00:41:33.909 I don't. But... I will tell you that down south 00:41:33.909 --> 00:41:35.829 when they had those, it was ideal because you 00:41:35.829 --> 00:41:37.809 could take that and break it off like a key, 00:41:38.449 --> 00:41:41.070 and the meat would slide right off the two bones. 00:41:41.690 --> 00:41:43.710 You could do it in one bite. Maybe this is just 00:41:43.710 --> 00:41:46.250 a fat kid tip that I'm handing out. There was 00:41:46.250 --> 00:41:50.130 a viral video going around where people, this 00:41:50.130 --> 00:41:53.610 girl in front of this young man who has eyes 00:41:53.610 --> 00:41:56.030 lit up in the background, where she would eat. 00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:58.960 Like that. It was a method of pulling the paddle 00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:01.599 out. So that's what it allows you to do with 00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:03.280 this, because you just break the one end. And 00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:05.480 there it is. Literally just one bite the whole 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.659 wing. That's some serious... Your Fat Kinsman 00:42:07.659 --> 00:42:09.219 would be proud of you. They would, yeah. Which 00:42:09.219 --> 00:42:11.360 by the way, that's a great band name, and we 00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:13.019 have to go, but I was going to say, because of 00:42:13.019 --> 00:42:15.539 the Pride lineup, what are some of the best band 00:42:15.539 --> 00:42:16.880 names of all time? Would there have to be like 00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:18.579 five guys who look like Drew Carey or something? 00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:20.599 He's not even fat anymore. Oh, you're talking 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.079 about the Fat Kinsman? Yeah. I'm trying to think 00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:24.679 of what they gotta look like, the fat kinsmen. 00:42:24.739 --> 00:42:26.679 I think they look like a bunch of Sam Kinesins. 00:42:26.900 --> 00:42:29.960 The fat Kinesins. I don't know. Ah! Ah! No, I 00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:32.340 won't do that. Blow Danny's ears. Blow Danny. 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:35.239 Oh. We should probably go. Earphones. Two boner. 00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:39.539 Um, yeah. Um, wing -eating contest. We might 00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:42.639 have to... 50th episode tomorrow.
