00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.840

00:01:11.299 --> 00:01:13.939
Hello. My name is Carlos Terny. I'm here from

00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:16.379
Syracuse, New York. I own Champions Martial Arts

00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:18.260
and great kids at school and summer camp programs.

00:01:18.829 --> 00:01:20.569
And I'm excited to be here. We're excited to

00:01:20.569 --> 00:01:22.750
have you, man. Thank you. Thank you. Carlos is

00:01:22.750 --> 00:01:25.150
one of my good buddies. We were saying before

00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:30.200
the recording began he's a fellow profound member

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.040
mm -hmm and I'll tell you what one of the things

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.760
that's been great about that organization it's

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.620
been nothing but phenomenal people but I've really

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:40.579
enjoyed getting to know you in that group because

00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:43.920
what I've seen you do is what I believe is sort

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.000
of your mantra in business which is look for

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.200
ways to grow in yourself while helping others

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.359
try to grow absolutely and And if you wouldn't

00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.260
mind, take a few minutes and just tell us about

00:01:57.260 --> 00:01:59.819
your business a little bit and how you got here.

00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:02.659
Yeah, so I've been in martial arts since 1983,

00:02:02.819 --> 00:02:04.700
so a very long time. I opened my own business

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:06.939
about 15 years ago as far as our martial arts

00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:09.139
business. So we've been serving families and

00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:11.680
community for the last 15 years. It's been awesome.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.560
It's been great for me, as well as my family,

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:17.250
my kids, and just the community as well. So then

00:02:17.250 --> 00:02:19.689
about nine years ago, we decided to go into the

00:02:19.689 --> 00:02:23.370
after school summer camp space It was it was

00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:25.090
one of those things we felt like parents needed

00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:27.389
and we could provide an environment for the kids

00:02:27.389 --> 00:02:29.770
that can be safe They can learn they got social

00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:31.810
connections things like that So I kind of took

00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:33.909
what we did in martial arts and just expand it

00:02:33.909 --> 00:02:36.379
to a different different market of people that

00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:38.860
could use the benefits that we provide in martial

00:02:38.860 --> 00:02:41.960
arts. That's kind of how we got started. And

00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.400
then again, as as as my growth continued, it

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.939
was always kind of trying to find ways to kind

00:02:45.939 --> 00:02:48.319
of continue to grow myself. I didn't go to college.

00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:51.379
So this was kind of like me investing in myself

00:02:51.379 --> 00:02:53.879
in the space that I wanted to grow in. And then

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.699
that was me kind of using that to help grow myself

00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:58.800
as well as our programs, the impact of our programs.

00:02:59.419 --> 00:03:02.400
That's that's incredible. You mentioned you got

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.610
your start. Back in the early 80s. Yes. Tell

00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:06.930
us a little bit about that. What did you do in

00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:09.449
the early days? So my uncle owned Taranese Martial

00:03:09.449 --> 00:03:10.909
Arts. It was actually called Purple Dragons in

00:03:10.909 --> 00:03:12.550
the beginning. Then it became Taranese Martial

00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:15.050
Arts. So again, I started back then with him.

00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.479
He's my mom's brother. So kind of got me in.

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.960
Mom kind of wanted to get me kind of out of the

00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.560
troubled areas that we were in. So she kind of

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.199
put me in martial arts and my uncle took me under

00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.539
his wing for a few years and helped me kind of

00:03:26.539 --> 00:03:28.159
grow, just understanding martial arts and what

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.659
it was. And then during that space is when I

00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:32.439
really started teaching and helping other people.

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.580
And I found it to be like my real passion. So

00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:36.259
I've been teaching martial arts and saw about

00:03:36.259 --> 00:03:38.939
12 years old. And it's just always been something

00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:42.319
I enjoy doing. Like I love using my influence

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.319
and my impact, seeing someone else grow from

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.270
that. So that's kind of been like always been

00:03:46.270 --> 00:03:47.909
a mission for me and a space I always wanted

00:03:47.909 --> 00:03:49.750
to be in. So that's kind of how we got started.

00:03:49.870 --> 00:03:52.110
I've had the opportunity to compete, traveled

00:03:52.110 --> 00:03:54.610
the world fighting as a competitor, won 11 world

00:03:54.610 --> 00:03:56.610
titles, fought on a television program, ran by

00:03:56.610 --> 00:03:59.650
Chuck Norris for two years. So yeah, I had a

00:03:59.650 --> 00:04:02.270
good run. I was on a fully sponsored team, took

00:04:02.270 --> 00:04:04.090
me different countries, different places and

00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:07.210
stuff. So it was a good run, good ride. And now

00:04:07.210 --> 00:04:09.469
I'm to the point now, whereas I can kind of share

00:04:09.469 --> 00:04:10.789
some of those journeys and share some of the

00:04:10.789 --> 00:04:12.629
things I've learned along the way with our students

00:04:12.629 --> 00:04:18.379
and with our members. So, you zoomed past that

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:22.680
incredible, a number of incredible details there.

00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.540
Matt heard nothing but Chuck Norris. That was

00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:29.620
it. It's true. And you know, I gotta tell you,

00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:33.740
our man Danny Tripod over here. Did a little

00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:38.459
research. Oh For you. Oh, let's go. Yes. This

00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:42.459
is the season of Chuck Norris presents WCL World

00:04:42.459 --> 00:04:44.879
Combat League This is the season apparently that

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:49.139
you were on. Yeah DVD let's go. Thank you Danny

00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:52.339
Danny. Good words are gift to you. Good work

00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:55.459
friend This is one of my best friends right here

00:04:55.459 --> 00:04:57.660
to Raymond Daniels really? Yeah, like he fought

00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:00.500
in Bellator. He fought. Um, he's done a lot of

00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:03.009
folk like he's like A human highlight reel. If

00:05:03.009 --> 00:05:04.930
you look him up, Raymond Daniels is incredible.

00:05:04.970 --> 00:05:06.589
But he's like one of my very best, best friends.

00:05:06.949 --> 00:05:10.350
So part of the World Combat League, they brought

00:05:10.350 --> 00:05:12.589
him in. And they were looking for other fighters

00:05:12.589 --> 00:05:15.110
that kind of matched some of his, including what

00:05:15.110 --> 00:05:17.509
he did in the ring. And he obviously brought

00:05:17.509 --> 00:05:19.189
me over, brought a couple other guys over as

00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:20.930
well. But like he and I have been like best friends

00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:23.470
for the last probably 23 years. Wow. So we've

00:05:23.470 --> 00:05:25.790
known each other for a very long time. So yeah,

00:05:25.810 --> 00:05:27.930
it's really good. Danny, good job. Yeah, in the

00:05:27.930 --> 00:05:30.750
future, I think we need to give out DVD players

00:05:30.750 --> 00:05:33.220
with the DVD. DVDs. I don't think no one owns

00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:35.560
one anymore. I got one. I got one hidden away

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.879
somewhere. It happens to me all the time. People

00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.800
will be like, check out this DVD. I'm like, where?

00:05:40.009 --> 00:05:42.829
Where am I going to spin it on my finger? No,

00:05:42.829 --> 00:05:44.810
that's great. So I fought in New York class,

00:05:44.850 --> 00:05:47.670
which was really cool. We debuted in Houston,

00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:49.649
and we had a fight in Houston. We had a fight

00:05:49.649 --> 00:05:52.569
at one of the stadiums in Houston. I can't remember

00:05:52.569 --> 00:05:53.889
what it was, but it's like a big stadium now.

00:05:54.310 --> 00:05:56.889
And then we did the Mohegan Sun, and then we

00:05:56.889 --> 00:05:58.970
fought down in Miami. It was actually a really,

00:05:58.970 --> 00:06:01.189
really good run. So it was a fun time. So I had

00:06:01.189 --> 00:06:03.769
two seasons of this. It was on television, so

00:06:03.769 --> 00:06:06.889
it was on the versus back in the day. So it kind

00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:10.000
of came out around the time UFC was becoming

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.220
UFC. And they are trying to give a different

00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:15.220
look, right? More stand up fighting, not so much

00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:17.500
ground. And they changed the ring. The octagon

00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:18.699
ring was a little bit different than how they

00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:21.160
had their ring. And the rules were different.

00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.439
So all full contact kickboxing style fighting.

00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:25.660
But it was a team base, which was actually really

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:27.279
cool. So you'll go out and win points for your

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.000
team. And at the end, whichever team had the

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.079
most points is how you won. So it wasn't necessarily

00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.019
like you individually. It was a team accomplishment.

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:38.259
I remember it was like 1997, 98. And we used

00:06:38.259 --> 00:06:40.980
to go to the. this one kid, his parents would

00:06:40.980 --> 00:06:43.300
buy all the pay -per -views, whether it was wrestling

00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:46.079
or UFC, which it wasn't called UFC then, I don't

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.199
think, but kind of the allure back then was you

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.220
would have a traditional wrestler versus a kickboxer,

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.720
or a karate specialist versus jiu -jitsu. And

00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:56.939
they're literally in those type of uniforms.

00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.259
Yeah, you're right. Like, wrestlers are wrestlers,

00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.019
I got karate. And it was such a cool idea. And

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:03.360
then the sport, correct me if I'm wrong, it feels

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.360
like now it's evolved where everybody, it's...

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.980
I guess that's why they call it mixed martial

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:10.959
arts. It's a little bit of everything, a little

00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.100
wrestling, a little jiu -jitsu, right? Is that

00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:17.000
kind of... So it's phenomenal because I feel

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.920
like that's kind of how the world has shifted,

00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:21.920
right? So everything is more of a modern style

00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.740
now as opposed to what the traditional base was,

00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.980
right? So when you're able to shift to that modern

00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:29.040
style, it does make it more of a mixed martial

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.399
arts presentation or mixed martial arts system

00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.060
that people are learning. So they're doing Muay

00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:34.639
Thai, they're doing grappling, they're doing,

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.300
you know, something we're doing a lot, some other

00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:38.490
type of system. to kind of help with footwork,

00:07:38.529 --> 00:07:41.269
angles, things like that. So you do find a more

00:07:41.269 --> 00:07:43.149
blend as opposed to when, like you said, when

00:07:43.149 --> 00:07:44.889
it first came out, you had the big, you know,

00:07:45.189 --> 00:07:46.930
Dan Severin. Yeah, the big guy, and then like

00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:49.810
the other guy in the karate uniform. And then

00:07:49.810 --> 00:07:52.149
Royce Gracie came in and he started choking everybody

00:07:52.149 --> 00:07:53.529
out. He's like, oh, everybody's doing this and

00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:55.389
that. And then the juicy guys come out, they

00:07:55.389 --> 00:07:57.149
start getting knocked out by the boxers, kickboxers,

00:07:57.230 --> 00:07:58.110
and they're like, oh, I'm gonna do some boxing

00:07:58.110 --> 00:07:59.149
now. So now why don't we just do a little bit

00:07:59.149 --> 00:08:00.589
of everything? That's it. Right, to give me a

00:08:00.589 --> 00:08:02.810
more well -rounded competitor and fighter. So

00:08:02.810 --> 00:08:05.889
when you're training people, are you training

00:08:05.870 --> 00:08:08.490
different elements from Jiu -Jitsu, karate? Yeah,

00:08:08.529 --> 00:08:12.470
yep. So I would say myself, my base when I first

00:08:12.470 --> 00:08:14.629
originally started was more traditional, right?

00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:16.449
More of a traditional Okinawan system, kind of

00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:19.050
like the old school karate kid. Like that was

00:08:19.050 --> 00:08:21.410
like, Master Miyagi would have been the system

00:08:21.410 --> 00:08:24.029
that we teach comes under the Master Miyagi back

00:08:24.029 --> 00:08:26.269
in the day. Wax on, wax off. Wax on, wax off.

00:08:26.389 --> 00:08:29.110
And it's funny because they would do forms and

00:08:29.110 --> 00:08:30.509
stuff in that movie, and they're actually forms

00:08:30.509 --> 00:08:32.470
in the system that we were learning back at that

00:08:32.470 --> 00:08:34.950
time. But as I grew as a martial artist, you

00:08:34.950 --> 00:08:37.320
said... You know, always trying to grow and expand

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.580
myself. As I grew as a martial artist, I got

00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:41.720
more into more of the combative self -defense

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.419
striking, more of the grappling to do things

00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:46.919
like nature, Muay Thai, things like that. So

00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.600
with that, I've been able to kind of blend a

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.879
system that I feel is more universal for what

00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.000
society is today. Yeah. Right. And not just geared

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.980
towards the ring itself, because even in the

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:59.379
ring, you have rules as well as to what you can

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:00.600
and what you can't do. And unfortunately, in

00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.379
society, there really is no. there is no rules

00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:05.159
per se so you got to be able to survive the moments

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.000
that you're in so um that's kind of more of the

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.639
base that we kind of shifted to in our martial

00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.940
art system um and i feel it's been good you know

00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:12.460
it gives the confidence right but it's also a

00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:14.539
fun learning opportunity for people too but it

00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:16.039
gives you the confidence that if you ever had

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.519
to run to a situation at least you have a better

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.740
chance of getting out of it as opposed to maybe

00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:22.440
some of the old traditional ways yeah wow that's

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.919
that's incredible do you um Do anything today

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.179
with competition? Do you coach or anything like

00:09:28.179 --> 00:09:30.500
that in the competitive realm? So ironically,

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.799
I haven't. I kind of stepped away from this competition

00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.559
probably five years ago, five, six years ago.

00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:39.120
I kind of stepped away from it. My son, who just

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.809
turned 20 last week. is kind of taking an interest

00:09:41.809 --> 00:09:45.090
of wanting to compete now. Oh, wow. So it's been

00:09:45.090 --> 00:09:47.549
fun. It's kind of like triggering that little

00:09:47.549 --> 00:09:51.250
spark in me again. So I'm excited for him to

00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:53.509
want to take on that journey. It is a journey.

00:09:53.570 --> 00:09:55.210
So I have to let him know that dad was actually

00:09:55.210 --> 00:09:56.769
pretty good. But it was a process I had to go

00:09:56.769 --> 00:09:58.330
through to get there. You don't just jump there.

00:09:58.669 --> 00:10:00.730
So he's just kind of starting his process now.

00:10:00.750 --> 00:10:02.970
And then as he goes through the process, he will

00:10:02.970 --> 00:10:04.389
be able to figure out if it's what he really

00:10:04.389 --> 00:10:08.309
wants to do long term. Because I've done it for

00:10:08.309 --> 00:10:10.159
a very long time at a pretty high level. but

00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.080
there's a commitment that takes to it too. So

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.340
he's gotta be wanting to take that type of approach

00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:16.379
to it if that's what he wants to do. You can't

00:10:16.379 --> 00:10:18.539
just half -ass martial art. Like I'll just dabble

00:10:18.539 --> 00:10:21.600
in it. You gotta commit mentally and physically.

00:10:21.860 --> 00:10:25.519
That's for sure. Something I love to talk to

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.539
with people that have been in a particular industry

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:31.240
for a long time is just, how has it changed?

00:10:32.570 --> 00:10:35.370
How do you feel about the state of the sports,

00:10:35.409 --> 00:10:37.710
whether it's the competitive nature or whether

00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:40.970
it's even sort of the martial arts studios that

00:10:40.970 --> 00:10:43.809
you find in local towns? That is a great question.

00:10:44.669 --> 00:10:50.570
So I'm never one to speak of anyone not good

00:10:50.570 --> 00:10:52.129
to any good. I just don't think that's a good

00:10:52.129 --> 00:10:54.710
place for that. I feel that a person that's looking

00:10:54.710 --> 00:10:56.899
for a martial arts program You first have to

00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:58.340
understand why you're looking for that program,

00:10:58.419 --> 00:11:00.360
right? What is it that you want to gain from

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:04.259
it, from yourself? Is it confidence? Is it self

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:07.019
-defense? Is it fitness? Those type of things.

00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:09.240
That's what you have to look for. And then when

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:10.840
you go into the space and you find what you're

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.039
looking for, how is it serving you, right? So

00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.720
is it serving the purpose that you need in your

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.519
life? If it's serving the person that you need

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.939
in your life, I don't feel there's any bad. martial

00:11:20.939 --> 00:11:23.659
arts. Again, for me, I look at it from a space

00:11:23.659 --> 00:11:26.779
of how is it going to help me in a situation,

00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.899
right? I look at it kind of like insurance, right?

00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:31.019
We all have insurance just in case something

00:11:31.019 --> 00:11:33.179
happens. So when you go into martial arts, you

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:35.679
want to have some teaching and some systems that

00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.220
just in case something happens, I have a better

00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:40.200
chance of surviving it or getting myself to a

00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.840
safer place. So as far as how I look at martial

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.419
arts and martial arts in general, as long as

00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:49.299
the martial arts has that type of aspect to it,

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:51.320
And sometimes people can't see it with their

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.980
own naked eye, right? So you watch something

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:54.539
on the video and you're kind of like, ah, maybe

00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:56.179
that won't work, or I don't see that happening.

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.320
That's probably because you're just looking at

00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.440
it from a different view and you didn't understand

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.879
how the situation was presented to the public

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.279
per se, right? Because most time when you're

00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.360
doing self -defense, it is what you call artificial

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.259
situation. So you're trying to create it as real

00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:12.879
as you possibly can, but you can never really

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:14.659
create the real feeling of being attacked by

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:17.210
somebody. The only way that you can get that

00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:19.669
is sometimes through competition, right? So like

00:12:19.669 --> 00:12:22.149
the UFC, Muay Thai, you know, the grappling,

00:12:22.230 --> 00:12:23.710
those type of things. When you have those things

00:12:23.710 --> 00:12:26.009
mixed in, it does give you the ability to kind

00:12:26.009 --> 00:12:28.350
of have that back and forth against another person.

00:12:28.389 --> 00:12:30.730
Now you've got to figure it out. So that's why

00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:33.009
I do like if you are in a system of martial arts,

00:12:33.009 --> 00:12:34.870
you have the ability to go out and compete in

00:12:34.870 --> 00:12:36.409
whatever that system is, whether it be karate,

00:12:36.570 --> 00:12:38.409
whether it be, you know, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu,

00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:40.090
whatever. You have the ability to go against

00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:42.190
another person because if you're just in a classroom

00:12:42.190 --> 00:12:43.830
training and training and training and you never

00:12:43.830 --> 00:12:46.070
actually go test the skills. Not in the real

00:12:46.070 --> 00:12:48.029
situation still artificial because it's not like

00:12:48.029 --> 00:12:49.929
to the death or anything like that But you get

00:12:49.929 --> 00:12:51.450
to have the understanding of how to read people

00:12:51.450 --> 00:12:54.029
how bodies work things like that measuring distance

00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:56.470
timing things of that nature so you do kind of

00:12:56.470 --> 00:12:59.409
need that level of a Competition per se yeah,

00:12:59.549 --> 00:13:02.090
so I think it's a whole when you ask the original

00:13:02.090 --> 00:13:06.590
questions like how do I see it? I see it as as

00:13:06.590 --> 00:13:08.429
a needed thing that I think people should have

00:13:08.429 --> 00:13:10.350
just something to have like I said insurance

00:13:10.350 --> 00:13:13.070
And then what is the purpose behind it, and what

00:13:13.070 --> 00:13:15.460
is the effectiveness behind it? Can you make

00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:17.559
it be effective? And I think that's important.

00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:22.299
You know, on that is one thing I've learned and

00:13:22.299 --> 00:13:25.019
noticed over the last few years, particularly

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:27.840
the last few months. We have another client.

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.440
We shoot his podcast, Impact My Life. His name's

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.620
Jason Nolan. He knows Jason. Oh, you know Jason.

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.700
Yeah, I've known Jason for a very long time.

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:37.960
Jason's a phenomenal martial artist and person.

00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:42.399
He is, and we love him. And when you hear him

00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.559
speak, right? And you have the same thing. He's

00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.120
just very well spoken, very disciplined in his

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.860
ways. I'm a guy that's been in and out of therapy

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:53.080
for decades, right? And it's like you can spot

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.480
when someone has a really healthy mind and is

00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.019
kind of speaking that therapy speak. And I found

00:13:58.019 --> 00:14:01.159
that more than physical, I think the benefits

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.139
in martial arts are almost more mental. Would

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:06.759
you agree with that? There's a huge mental aspect

00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.059
to it. It's a discipline that I can hear when

00:14:09.059 --> 00:14:12.509
you speak. And I think it's amazing. So, you

00:14:12.509 --> 00:14:15.190
know, a lot of people, when they think of martial

00:14:15.190 --> 00:14:16.610
arts, right, they think of the punching, the

00:14:16.610 --> 00:14:18.690
kicking, they think of the discipline that you

00:14:18.690 --> 00:14:20.490
learn, the focus, things like that. But there

00:14:20.490 --> 00:14:22.289
is a whole other element that comes around it,

00:14:22.289 --> 00:14:23.610
and that's where you say it's more of the mental,

00:14:23.809 --> 00:14:26.649
right? How does it affect your mental being,

00:14:26.769 --> 00:14:29.450
right? And that being your social, how you socially

00:14:29.450 --> 00:14:31.490
interact with people, emotionally how you deal

00:14:31.490 --> 00:14:33.789
with things, right? It does help you in so many

00:14:33.789 --> 00:14:35.549
different ways than just the punching and kicking

00:14:35.549 --> 00:14:38.570
or the basic things. You know, people with confidence,

00:14:38.669 --> 00:14:40.850
discipline, respect. That all comes with it.

00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.720
so much more behind it as far as what you gain

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.399
as being in martial arts, the mental side of

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.679
it, how it helps you understand, you know, perseverance

00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.600
and how not to give up, how to face things, how

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.419
to deal with emotions and things of that nature,

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:55.340
because you're in that space all the time. You

00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:57.080
got someone kind of coming out. You got to respond

00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.220
in those spaces, right? So how do I take that?

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:02.200
And this is another great martial artist instructor

00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.379
can do this. How do I take what I teach you on

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:06.980
the mat? to make you be able to apply it to your

00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:09.200
real life. Yeah. But it's not the punching, it's

00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.360
not the kicking, but it's the process of how

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.460
we did everything to teach you how do you take

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:15.299
the process of what we taught you and put it

00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:18.419
into your real life and ask for life. And ironically,

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.000
it's like if you have that mental discipline,

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.600
you can almost talk your way out of not. having

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.460
to ever get to the physical part of it. Because

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:28.039
if you're mentally disciplined, you might know

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.580
to walk away or how to talk somebody down. So

00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:33.980
it's just amazing to hear and see all that. Yeah.

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.860
So again, I also do a lot of personal protection

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:38.259
workshops, like corporate personal protection

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:39.440
stuff. And that's some of the things that we

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.500
talk about is we go about it three P's, which

00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:43.360
is like being prepared, being able to prevent,

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:45.179
and then protection. So a lot of times when you

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.100
get to a situation where you have to protect

00:15:47.100 --> 00:15:49.940
yourself, you miss some cues and some things

00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:52.460
that may have gotten you to a safer place. So

00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:54.289
one, you probably put your in a space that you

00:15:54.289 --> 00:15:55.429
probably shouldn't have been in. Maybe you're

00:15:55.429 --> 00:15:56.389
walking at night and you shouldn't be walking

00:15:56.389 --> 00:15:57.990
at night. Maybe you're on your phone, things

00:15:57.990 --> 00:15:59.090
like that. Maybe you're not paying attention

00:15:59.090 --> 00:16:01.049
to your surroundings, and all of a sudden, boom,

00:16:01.149 --> 00:16:02.710
something's in front of you. Now something's

00:16:02.710 --> 00:16:05.289
in front of you. how do you prevent the actual

00:16:05.289 --> 00:16:07.230
altercation from happening? What are the steps

00:16:07.230 --> 00:16:08.990
you gotta do to be able to do that? So understanding

00:16:08.990 --> 00:16:11.190
how to train that and what that is, that takes

00:16:11.190 --> 00:16:13.289
thought, that takes a minute to kind of take

00:16:13.289 --> 00:16:15.190
a deep breath in, all right, what's the best

00:16:15.190 --> 00:16:17.409
strategy for me in this point before it escalates?

00:16:17.649 --> 00:16:19.549
Because once it escalates, now you're in a whole

00:16:19.549 --> 00:16:21.570
different space that you have to be able to manage

00:16:21.570 --> 00:16:23.370
as well. So again, as you said, as far as the

00:16:23.370 --> 00:16:25.529
mental side of it, there are different levels

00:16:25.529 --> 00:16:27.649
of, there's the preparation, being prepared.

00:16:27.870 --> 00:16:29.990
Am I prepared for what's coming for my day, right?

00:16:29.990 --> 00:16:32.610
I look at when we walk outside, our house every

00:16:32.610 --> 00:16:35.070
day, it's like an orange. We're at the mercy

00:16:35.070 --> 00:16:37.710
of the world. But at any time in that day, something

00:16:37.710 --> 00:16:40.090
can throw us off and put us in a red space. That's

00:16:40.090 --> 00:16:41.730
in business, that's in life, and that's whenever.

00:16:42.169 --> 00:16:43.470
Then when it gets to black, that means we're

00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:46.110
in that, oh my gosh, now I gotta, I gotta make

00:16:46.110 --> 00:16:47.850
this work. I gotta, because now we gotta survive,

00:16:47.909 --> 00:16:50.570
right? So where were we at in the orange space?

00:16:50.710 --> 00:16:52.570
How did we get to the red space? And what do

00:16:52.570 --> 00:16:54.860
we do to prevent getting to the black? But when

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:56.559
you're in that space where it feels like you're

00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.019
a danger your business whatever business martial

00:16:59.019 --> 00:17:01.039
arts or whatever When you feel you're in danger,

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:04.240
how do you respond at that time? Because that's

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.279
gonna bring you back to going back to be able

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.279
to come out of your house in orange Orange is

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:14.609
the new black lately I love it. I love it Carlos,

00:17:14.630 --> 00:17:17.029
let's talk just a little bit more specifically

00:17:17.029 --> 00:17:19.190
about your business today and what you got going

00:17:19.190 --> 00:17:24.109
on there so Again, tell us a little bit about

00:17:24.109 --> 00:17:26.630
a couple of the programs and I guess specifically

00:17:26.630 --> 00:17:29.150
it's probably the summer programs of them. Yes

00:17:29.150 --> 00:17:31.970
So again, as I said, we shifted to this up the

00:17:31.970 --> 00:17:34.730
summer camp program back in about nine years

00:17:34.730 --> 00:17:38.390
ago. So 2000 I think was 2016 or something like

00:17:38.390 --> 00:17:40.759
that. Do those exactly was yeah I was inside

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.980
Aspen Athletic Club for my martial arts program.

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.779
And my kids were at an age where I needed to

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:47.519
have a place for them to go for summer camp,

00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:48.480
because they couldn't really just come and hang

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.160
out in the fitness center. So as we're looking

00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.759
at trying to set up our summer camp program,

00:17:54.059 --> 00:17:55.900
I knew I couldn't really run it inside a fitness

00:17:55.900 --> 00:17:57.359
center because families were not going to want

00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.640
their kids being inside a gym all day. So I started

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.380
looking for a space, looking for a space. And

00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:04.759
I found a space on Chapel Drive, the old Corky's

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.980
Pool Hall back in the day. So I found that space.

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.700
It was open for us. It was about 7 ,000 square

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:11.430
feet. able to clean it out, open it up, and we're

00:18:11.430 --> 00:18:12.910
able to create our space for our summer camp.

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:17.019
So one of the things I enjoy most about summer

00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:19.339
camp is, again, I'm able to have my own kids.

00:18:19.579 --> 00:18:22.140
So I was able to kind of craft the camp that

00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:24.859
I wanted my kids to feel safe in. So, you know,

00:18:24.859 --> 00:18:27.059
we worked on our bullying systems and how to

00:18:27.059 --> 00:18:28.900
make sure we deal with bullying. We worked on

00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:30.400
social connection, make sure the kids are being

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.980
socially connected and be able to make friends

00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:34.460
and relationships in the program. And then, you

00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:36.279
know, we help kids kind of deal through emotions

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:37.660
and some of the things that they may be having

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:39.539
a hard time with, how to help them deal with

00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:41.980
it, whether it be they lost a game or they didn't

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:43.559
get the color and crayon they want, like how

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:45.160
do we... and talk them through those steps to

00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.380
understand how to deal with their emotions better.

00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:49.079
So these are all things that I really wanted

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.119
for my kids because I didn't want to send them

00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:52.680
to a space where they're just kind of in an open

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.940
space and people are just watching them and it's

00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:57.180
not really no structure or programming behind

00:18:57.180 --> 00:19:00.240
it. So that's kind of how we started the summer

00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.059
camp program. And then obviously naturally when

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:03.819
you go into a summer camp program, parents need

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:05.319
summer camp, most of those parents probably need

00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:07.000
their kids to go to a place after school. So

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.920
again, we start crafting our after school program

00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:11.460
to be that same type of mindset, that same type

00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:14.069
of programming. And that's kind of how we got

00:19:14.069 --> 00:19:17.210
into that. So now we're nine years in. We had,

00:19:17.410 --> 00:19:19.309
at one time I had three locations. I had to drop

00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:21.210
the one. I had one in Lafayette. It was just,

00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:23.210
it was too much on our team. So I was stretching

00:19:23.210 --> 00:19:25.309
a little too thin. So we have Liverpool and we

00:19:25.309 --> 00:19:29.509
have a place in Camillus area. Wow. So our Camillus

00:19:29.509 --> 00:19:30.829
area right now, our summer camp, we're pretty

00:19:30.829 --> 00:19:32.410
much sold out. We've been sold out since March

00:19:32.410 --> 00:19:34.529
and then Liverpool we've been sold out since

00:19:34.529 --> 00:19:38.049
I believe end of April. Wow. So that's incredible.

00:19:38.150 --> 00:19:41.380
That's incredible. That's such a neat thing.

00:19:41.539 --> 00:19:43.720
It's so needed, you know. Anybody who has kids,

00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:45.460
so what do you do with them in the summer? Yeah,

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:48.000
right. I do. And, you know, there's no shortage

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.019
of, I guess, different options and programs,

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:52.240
but then, you know, which one is worthwhile,

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:54.859
and where do you trust to send your kid? The

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:57.180
biggest thing, again, we try to train our team.

00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.339
We don't call our coaches, sorry, we don't call

00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:02.819
our staff counselors. We call them coaches because

00:20:02.819 --> 00:20:04.960
we believe that they have an integral part of

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.259
coaching these kids during the summer. And ultimately,

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:10.339
our team can have a great influence on them during

00:20:10.339 --> 00:20:12.319
the summer that will prepare them going into

00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.880
the school year. So that's really why I really

00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.140
enjoy it. And then going into the app school

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:19.359
side of things, it was kind of like our martial

00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:20.619
arts program. Most martial arts program, you

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:22.650
come two times a week. or three times a week,

00:20:22.990 --> 00:20:25.089
right? And you're there for maybe 45 minutes,

00:20:25.170 --> 00:20:27.150
it goes two times. Our after school program is

00:20:27.150 --> 00:20:30.410
five days a week. So we have five opportunities

00:20:30.410 --> 00:20:33.509
and five days to really help grow these kids

00:20:33.509 --> 00:20:37.750
and be a part of their success tree, right? That

00:20:37.750 --> 00:20:39.269
kind of gives a little bit more opportunity than

00:20:39.269 --> 00:20:40.789
just our martial arts program. Are there any

00:20:40.789 --> 00:20:43.230
major differences between this generation of

00:20:43.230 --> 00:20:47.230
kids as opposed to some of the past generations?

00:20:47.269 --> 00:20:50.390
Do you see a difference in anything? Yes, tablets.

00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:55.779
Tablets, yeah. Tablets. Distractions. Distractions.

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:58.400
And I just think part of that distraction, it

00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.599
gives a false sense of how to socially communicate.

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:04.319
So I think social communication with kids is

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.000
hard because they're on the tablets. And if they

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:08.099
are communicating with someone, they're communicating

00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:10.599
through a tablet and not in real life. So I think

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.380
that makes it challenging for them. In addition

00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:19.910
to just, I feel that kids don't understand well

00:21:19.910 --> 00:21:22.269
enough how to transition through their emotions.

00:21:23.490 --> 00:21:25.369
Right? And I think that's something that is not,

00:21:25.470 --> 00:21:27.029
it's not something that they just grow into or

00:21:27.029 --> 00:21:28.509
something have to be kind of taught. You know,

00:21:28.529 --> 00:21:31.049
when you're feeling this way, you know, these,

00:21:31.450 --> 00:21:32.910
let's talk about what you're feeling and let's

00:21:32.910 --> 00:21:35.089
find the right solution for it. And then kind

00:21:35.089 --> 00:21:37.950
of going that way. So I feel again, The way we

00:21:37.950 --> 00:21:39.009
train our coaches, the way we train our team,

00:21:39.130 --> 00:21:40.369
we look for those type of things, those type

00:21:40.369 --> 00:21:42.309
of moments to help kids kind of grow from. And

00:21:42.309 --> 00:21:47.470
it's an ongoing thing. You see the success sometimes.

00:21:47.710 --> 00:21:50.309
You have a kid that has taken like 10 steps forward.

00:21:50.970 --> 00:21:53.230
And then he has a moment, and it's like, well,

00:21:53.390 --> 00:21:55.250
imagine how that moment was three months ago.

00:21:55.589 --> 00:21:57.829
Imagine how that moment was six months ago. And

00:21:57.829 --> 00:21:59.829
we're able to get him back on track within a

00:21:59.829 --> 00:22:01.819
matter of time. You know, so although he took

00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:03.960
10 steps forward, he's taken maybe three steps

00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.819
back, but he's still seven steps ahead of where

00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:07.799
he was. Right. Right. Right. So we're actually

00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:09.940
winning. And that is that is I think that's key

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:11.920
to what we do. So yes, a little bit different.

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:15.180
That's incredible. I love to see that. Carlos,

00:22:15.420 --> 00:22:18.460
tell us where folks can find you, find more information,

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:20.640
websites, things like that. Yep. So our website

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:22.980
is C .T. Champions M .A. That's our martial arts

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:26.539
website. And then our school program is great

00:22:26.539 --> 00:22:30.079
kids dot com. And that's G .R. the number eight.

00:22:33.520 --> 00:22:36.059
I love that name. Yeah, and we go we use the

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:37.539
term great because I was on my staff when we

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:39.380
had interviews You know I like the term great

00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:41.019
kids because we want our kids to be great kids

00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:43.180
What do great kids do great kids make great choices?

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:46.160
Right? Great kids become great leaders. So that's

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.960
kind of like our mantra through our whole program

00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.680
is that we want our kids to be able to make great

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.180
choices. When they're making great choices, they're

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:52.460
making the right decisions. When they're making

00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:55.140
the right decisions, everybody wins. And I always

00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:57.460
look at, sometimes I shared, every choice has

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:59.859
a consequence and a destination. So if you make

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:02.059
a bad choice, you're going to have a destination

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:03.859
for that bad choice. But if you make a great

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:06.220
choice, That's gonna be a lot better, right?

00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:07.200
So it's kind of like one of those things that

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:08.859
we try to work through with the kids just teaching

00:23:08.859 --> 00:23:10.500
understanding that and then like our team same

00:23:10.500 --> 00:23:12.319
thing We want our coaches coming in that have

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.599
that mindset of I want to be a part of this kid's

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:16.180
life And I want to try to make them as best as

00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:18.660
I possibly can we can't get you out of here without

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:26.380
one Chuck Norris story One, it was kind of cool

00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:29.240
to have a check signed by Chuck Norris, right?

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.019
Hell yes. So I have that still. I have it framed.

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.259
I have it framed. And then, you know, my name

00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:37.079
is Carlos. So I always kind of was able to kind

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:38.730
of... chuckle back with him that his name is

00:23:38.730 --> 00:23:41.289
Carlos too, because Chuck Charles, that's all

00:23:41.289 --> 00:23:42.690
kind of this thing. That was kind of like one

00:23:42.690 --> 00:23:44.829
of our little banters back and forth, but it

00:23:44.829 --> 00:23:46.349
was really cool. It was a great opportunity.

00:23:46.650 --> 00:23:49.150
That's awesome. Thank you. That is so awesome.

00:23:49.250 --> 00:23:51.569
That's great. This is the closest I'll get to

00:23:51.569 --> 00:23:55.710
meeting Chuck Norris. No, it was a good time.

00:23:55.789 --> 00:23:57.509
It was great. I've had a great journey, and I'm

00:23:57.509 --> 00:23:58.970
excited to be able to keep the journey going

00:23:58.970 --> 00:24:01.329
and keep impacting lives. That's great, man.

00:24:01.549 --> 00:24:04.849
We absolutely love to hear it. It's a great story.

00:24:04.950 --> 00:24:06.329
You know, one of the things that I find really

00:24:06.329 --> 00:24:08.869
interesting is there's so many different options

00:24:08.869 --> 00:24:12.390
for things to do. And there's ranging from sort

00:24:12.390 --> 00:24:14.529
of daycare where after school your kids just

00:24:14.529 --> 00:24:17.390
go and play with other kids to other places that

00:24:17.390 --> 00:24:19.289
genuinely try to help with homework and they

00:24:19.289 --> 00:24:21.910
got some good programs. But, you know, these

00:24:21.910 --> 00:24:24.269
sort of martial arts programs like that you have

00:24:24.269 --> 00:24:27.269
and I think hopefully people offer in different

00:24:27.269 --> 00:24:30.170
parts of the country all over the place. Just

00:24:30.170 --> 00:24:32.490
what you talk about, about genuinely trying.

00:24:32.329 --> 00:24:35.650
to help and develop these kids in the time that,

00:24:35.710 --> 00:24:38.369
you know, I was watching cartoons after school

00:24:38.369 --> 00:24:41.670
in those hours. So, you know, a lot of these

00:24:41.670 --> 00:24:43.230
skills that we're talking about, you're trying

00:24:43.230 --> 00:24:44.930
to impress upon kids. There's a lot of adults

00:24:44.930 --> 00:24:48.289
that at no point got those skills. So I love

00:24:48.289 --> 00:24:50.230
seeing this and I love what you're doing. It's

00:24:50.230 --> 00:24:54.509
just a great mission and clearly you enjoy it.

00:24:54.670 --> 00:25:01.759
I do. I have a passion for it. It's awesome.

00:25:02.099 --> 00:25:04.759
It's awesome. We have an amazing opportunity,

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.079
as far as the team goes, and myself, to impact.

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:10.440
So we always talk about changing the world for

00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.099
our kids, but what if we can change our kids

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:15.240
for the world? There you go. What if we can change

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:17.660
how our kids are in the world, which would make

00:25:17.660 --> 00:25:19.859
the world better, as opposed to trying to change

00:25:19.859 --> 00:25:23.119
the world to fit our kids? And that's some of

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.900
my approach that I kind of look at and I try

00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:28.109
to take it to. That's awesome. I mean, that is

00:25:28.109 --> 00:25:30.890
such an important thing. And you're out there

00:25:30.890 --> 00:25:32.470
on the front lines doing it. We're trying. And

00:25:32.470 --> 00:25:34.829
I thank you for that. I'm a father, so I appreciate.

00:25:35.369 --> 00:25:38.089
I have a new appreciation for raising good kids

00:25:38.089 --> 00:25:40.430
and protecting those kids and teaching them what's

00:25:40.430 --> 00:25:42.089
right and wrong. And there's a lot of crazy things

00:25:42.089 --> 00:25:45.450
going on in the world. So much appreciation from

00:25:45.450 --> 00:25:47.549
us to you, man. I appreciate it. You know, he

00:25:47.549 --> 00:25:49.390
also has the value beyond your own kids. It used

00:25:49.390 --> 00:25:51.809
to be like, I want to get. But reality is I want

00:25:51.809 --> 00:25:53.930
my kids to be safe. That means I want. all of

00:25:53.930 --> 00:25:57.130
the other young people running around the world

00:25:57.130 --> 00:26:00.789
to not be dirtbags, too. Not only that, but there's

00:26:00.789 --> 00:26:05.329
a huge aspect of learning how to overcome adversity.

00:26:05.589 --> 00:26:08.950
We can't teach these kids, we're going to keep

00:26:08.950 --> 00:26:11.549
you away from all adversity. In my eyes, it's

00:26:11.549 --> 00:26:13.869
like, no, we can't control the adversity, but

00:26:13.869 --> 00:26:16.150
we can teach you how to overcome it. How to navigate

00:26:16.150 --> 00:26:18.130
things. That is so important. I feel like that's

00:26:18.130 --> 00:26:19.609
the key, and that's what you're doing. Thank

00:26:19.609 --> 00:26:22.650
you. Thank you. Carlos, my friend, thank you

00:26:22.650 --> 00:26:24.670

I appreciate it. Danny came through. Yeah, Danny's

00:26:32.410 --> 00:26:34.910
the man. That's why we let him run the show.

00:26:35.190 --> 00:26:38.609
He really knows what's up. But thank you, man.

00:26:39.069 --> 00:26:41.450

Thank you. Thank you guys. All right, welcome

00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.000

love you, Zach It's Tuesday Newsday. It is Tuesday

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:15.940
Newsday. Great interview by the way with Carlos.

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:19.619
Carlos is the fire man. I feel extra inspired.

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:21.079
He's one of those dudes, one of the reasons I

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:22.619
love Carlos so much is he's one of those dudes

00:27:22.619 --> 00:27:25.680
that every time I talk to him, I just get more

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.759
and more impressed and he's got more great stories

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:29.980
and it's just like, he's just like a genuinely

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:32.980
great human. And he really is disciplined mentally

00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:34.619
like he talked about because I tried to get him

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:36.440
to throat chop Danny on the way out and he's

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:39.480
like, that would not be right. But anyway, Tuesday

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.089
Newsday. Want to give a little local love to

00:27:42.089 --> 00:27:46.730
a young man Jamesville Dewitt's that did sound

00:27:46.730 --> 00:27:50.250
weird James I desperately want to make woman

00:27:50.250 --> 00:27:53.170
love to a woman or a man. What is that dumb and

00:27:53.170 --> 00:27:57.710
dumber? Anyway, the day that Jamesville Dewitt

00:27:57.710 --> 00:28:02.069
senior golfer Jackson Cerrone became the first

00:28:02.069 --> 00:28:04.230
section three boys golfer to win the state championship

00:28:04.230 --> 00:28:06.990
since 2013, dude. He crushed the field at Mill

00:28:06.990 --> 00:28:12.009
Creek Golf Club in Churchville. He had, and I

00:28:12.009 --> 00:28:14.410
wanna see if you remember this now, he posted

00:28:14.410 --> 00:28:17.589
12 birdies and just two bogeys in two days of

00:28:17.589 --> 00:28:20.170
play. I wanna test you on your lack of knowledge.

00:28:20.210 --> 00:28:25.829
Are those like Pokemon? Yeah. Yep, you got it.

00:28:25.869 --> 00:28:28.430
Moving on. Do you think we should invite him

00:28:28.430 --> 00:28:32.059
in and give him one of my clubs? One, how about

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:34.200
you? Should we give him a bag? You think he needs

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:36.039
another bag of clubs? See which one he likes

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:37.539
the most? We'll give him one of the ones that

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:40.019
doesn't have a rip in it. Wait, dude. He could

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:44.400
build you a set out of all those six sets. He'll

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.579
hit every club and he'll go, okay, you want this

00:28:46.579 --> 00:28:47.839
one, this one, this one, and this one. And that's

00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.539
how you - For those not following along, I bought

00:28:50.539 --> 00:28:52.779
way too many golf clubs recently. And I picked

00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:54.460
them up in the morning. We still haven't figured

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:56.420
out what to do with them exactly. I genuinely

00:28:56.420 --> 00:28:58.079
want to go to the driving range with you guys.

00:28:58.380 --> 00:29:00.299
I genuinely would love that. My clubs are in

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:02.819
my car all the time. We've got to record all

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:06.339
day today. Not today. Not tomorrow. Next week.

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:08.180
One of these days soon when it's not raining.

00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:11.819
We're going to have good luck. Pile in your Volkswagen

00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:14.819
and go golfing. All right. Not golfing, but driving.

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:16.319
Don't threaten me with a good drive. Go driving?

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:21.630
You're not you when you're hungry. And Buffalo

00:29:21.630 --> 00:29:25.369
Bills Josh Allen is here to help. My boy, Josh

00:29:25.369 --> 00:29:27.369
Allen of the Buffalo Bills is now sponsored by

00:29:27.369 --> 00:29:29.690
Snickers. Isn't that exciting? Now you can eat

00:29:29.690 --> 00:29:31.730
them with no guilt? You can eat them with no

00:29:31.730 --> 00:29:33.210
guilt, because if you eat them, apparently you

00:29:33.210 --> 00:29:35.730
can hurtle over fucking NFL players. Are they

00:29:35.730 --> 00:29:38.230
going to put the Snickers logo on his Bills jersey?

00:29:38.369 --> 00:29:40.170
That is a great question, and I think that would

00:29:40.170 --> 00:29:41.809
look bad. That's a great logo. They should do

00:29:41.809 --> 00:29:44.589
that like NASCAR drivers do. You're absolutely

00:29:44.589 --> 00:29:46.630
right. When we cover football players in ads.

00:29:47.509 --> 00:29:49.910
Honestly, that's coming. Think that I'm not even

00:29:49.910 --> 00:29:53.390
kidding you I've heard grumblings of like Super

00:29:53.390 --> 00:29:56.109
imposing ads on players jerseys. You know what

00:29:56.109 --> 00:29:58.670
I'm saying like CG. Yeah, it's pretty pretty

00:29:58.670 --> 00:30:01.309
wild So here's think about that all right Let's

00:30:01.309 --> 00:30:03.130
get real nerdy for a second nerd if you were

00:30:03.130 --> 00:30:04.930
to do something like that You could do multiple

00:30:04.930 --> 00:30:07.430
things one you could do unique ad placement Which

00:30:07.430 --> 00:30:09.430
means if I'm watching the game, and you're watching

00:30:09.430 --> 00:30:11.529
the game. There's a different sponsor on the

00:30:11.529 --> 00:30:13.930
fucking players back Yeah, how wild would that

00:30:13.930 --> 00:30:18.609
be? You know and also it could be time limited

00:30:18.609 --> 00:30:22.089
so in the live feed it could be sponsored by

00:30:22.089 --> 00:30:25.210
Target and in the recording it could be Walmart

00:30:25.210 --> 00:30:29.210
do like That would be wild I always claim that

00:30:29.210 --> 00:30:31.809
you are always three steps ahead of everybody

00:30:31.809 --> 00:30:34.450
and you are again Because that's exactly what's

00:30:34.450 --> 00:30:36.470
going on. I caught it during the Stanley Cup

00:30:36.470 --> 00:30:39.670
finals around right now for in hockey hockey,

00:30:39.750 --> 00:30:46.069
okay, and What I noticed is when they would cut

00:30:46.069 --> 00:30:48.470
in between, you know, when they would blow the

00:30:48.470 --> 00:30:50.549
whistle and play was dead. Yeah. And they would

00:30:50.549 --> 00:30:52.329
show like the players skating around and I'm

00:30:52.329 --> 00:30:54.750
like, what the hell? All the ads on the boards

00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:56.809
are different. And then they would fire back

00:30:56.809 --> 00:31:00.269
up. So what they did is they have ads that are

00:31:00.269 --> 00:31:02.869
inside the arena that the eyeballs inside the

00:31:02.869 --> 00:31:05.049
arena are going to see. And then the ads on television

00:31:05.049 --> 00:31:08.230
are superimposed. They just covered the local.

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:11.420
Exactly. So in other words, you probably pay

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:14.900
an okay amount, like, you know, to have your

00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:16.640
ad in the arena. I feel like they're getting

00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:18.920
screwed by that. Well, I mean, I think if you

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.220
pay the big bucks, you get the national television

00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:23.900
eyeballs. Well, here's the thing. Like, recently,

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:27.500
Danny and I were in a bar, and the Syracuse Mets

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:32.279
game was on the national... Yeah, the baseball

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:36.579
channel. And I recognized all these local companies

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:38.680
whose ads, their billboards are on the thing

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:40.240
at the stadium. And I was like, wow, that's cool.

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:42.720
These local companies are getting this massive

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.539
exposure. I would be pissed if I was that local

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:50.000
company supporting my local team. But you're

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:52.519
getting the eyeballs of the people at the game,

00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:54.920
which is whatever, 50 ,000 people, whatever it

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.039
is. So you're paying for 50 ,000 eyeballs. It's

00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:59.839
another one of those things where they've created

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:02.640
another fee, another level of something that

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:04.440
used to always be part of the game. of a deal,

00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:06.839
you know what I mean? I know. I'm not arguing

00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.119
with you, I'm just... There's a word for that,

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.259
there's like the encrapification, is that what

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:13.519
you call it? Encrapification, that is what it

00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:16.700
is, yeah. Where it's not just the price gets

00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:19.119
better, but the product gets crappier. Yeah.

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:22.319
You know what pisses me off too is like, we used

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:25.359
to have one of the major cable services, I don't

00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.559
anymore, and what I hated was, there were like

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.200
three or four channels I wanted. We're in the

00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.599
next tier, but in order to get those three or

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:35.980
four channels You got to buy the next tier and

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:37.900
get the whole of all the shit You don't want

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:40.859
are you complaining about cable? This is the

00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:42.859
most boomer conversation that's ever happened

00:32:42.859 --> 00:32:45.970
on this show. I'm 67. I never told you I That

00:32:45.970 --> 00:32:48.230
makes sense. It just pisses me off. That was

00:32:48.230 --> 00:32:50.730
kind of a boomer complaint, but whatever. Do

00:32:50.730 --> 00:32:51.809
you watch Stranger Things? He's talking about

00:32:51.809 --> 00:32:55.710
his cable package. It's a podcast airing in 1997.

00:32:56.089 --> 00:32:58.930
I don't have it anymore. I'm saying back in the...

00:32:58.930 --> 00:33:01.130
Anyway, Stranger Things, Andy Mack, have you

00:33:01.130 --> 00:33:03.630
ever heard of either of those shows? No, I've

00:33:03.630 --> 00:33:05.750
never heard of Stranger Things. Okay, well I'm

00:33:05.750 --> 00:33:07.529
just fucking making sure. I don't want to sound

00:33:07.529 --> 00:33:12.250
like a boomer. Which, ironically, I wouldn't

00:33:12.250 --> 00:33:14.910
because it's a newer show. Well, anyway, it turns

00:33:14.910 --> 00:33:18.690
out, according to staff at Vicky's, Matzorazo

00:33:18.690 --> 00:33:21.680
ordered... Oh, I'm sorry. According to the staff

00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:24.559
at Vicky's which is I guess an ice cream shop.

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.940
Yeah. Yeah some stars from Stranger Things and

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:32.460
Andy Mack were at their place of of business

00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:34.579
eating ice cream and they met some fans and they

00:33:34.579 --> 00:33:37.299
took Took some pictures and themselves a little

00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:38.980
treat. They had themselves a little treat. So

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:40.500
that's just kind of a little interesting thing

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:42.720
I'll throw up the photo and in power in town

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:44.480
shooting a movie. Yeah, they're working with

00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.380
American High and They were in town. So they

00:33:47.380 --> 00:33:49.940
went and got some ice cream It was nice of them.

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:51.900
It was nice. And I thought that, you know, kind

00:33:51.900 --> 00:33:54.539
of a lame story, but you know. It's pretty cool

00:33:54.539 --> 00:33:56.980
that, you know, we can bring some celebrities

00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:59.640
to town and bring some great focus and business

00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.099
to local businesses. You wouldn't have that if

00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:03.980
you didn't have a local movie studio in your

00:34:03.980 --> 00:34:05.460
town. Well, I mean, that's kind of the point

00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:07.500
is like, is it a lame story? Yeah, I just said,

00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:09.400
hey, some guys from TV shows were here. It's

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:12.000
a great story. It's a great story because. You

00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:13.800
know, that's the kind of vibe you get in New

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.199
York City or LA where you say, oh my gosh, I

00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:17.500
was at the ice cream store and I met a couple

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:19.079
of celebs. You used to not get that around here.

00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:21.519
You know, so let's be honest. Like of all the

00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:23.019
celebrities, a lot of celebrities are kind of

00:34:23.019 --> 00:34:26.360
jerks. Dead Kid is known for being just a genuinely

00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:30.119
good person. I agree. You know, it's nice to

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.940
have him around town. Yeah, eating some ice cream.

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.480
We love to see it. Enjoy it. We got great ice

00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.070
cream here. Speaking of celebrities. I don't

00:34:37.070 --> 00:34:38.210
know if you've heard about, have you heard a

00:34:38.210 --> 00:34:40.550
little controversy? I haven't heard of him. Luke

00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:42.670
Bryan, the singer Luke Bryan, he's a country

00:34:42.670 --> 00:34:47.510
singer. Is he like a huge douchebag? Well, if

00:34:47.510 --> 00:34:52.670
he wasn't, he is now because he kind of made

00:34:52.670 --> 00:34:55.789
a comment. He was performing in Bethel, New York,

00:34:56.090 --> 00:34:59.070
which is basically the old Woodstock. Yeah, yeah,

00:34:59.070 --> 00:35:05.730
yeah. And he is quoted as saying... This Upstate

00:35:05.730 --> 00:35:08.170
New York venue is so rural, there ain't shit

00:35:08.170 --> 00:35:10.849
here. Actually, the quote is, this is like my

00:35:10.849 --> 00:35:12.550
eighth time here, I believe, and you know what

00:35:12.550 --> 00:35:14.530
I always forget? There ain't shit here. This

00:35:14.530 --> 00:35:17.210
is the countryest ass venue that I play. Which

00:35:17.210 --> 00:35:19.809
I feel like, in that world, is kind of a compliment,

00:35:20.090 --> 00:35:24.329
but people have not responded well to it. But

00:35:24.329 --> 00:35:28.869
here's my argument. Bethel, New York is not Upstate.

00:35:30.339 --> 00:35:32.559
Danny throw them I got a New York State map there

00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:33.960
can you throw it up and this is what I wanted

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:36.940
to do I want to turn this into a bit where I

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:39.800
want to ask people and there's no right or wrong

00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:41.659
answer I feel like we've discussed this on this

00:35:41.659 --> 00:35:43.719
no no no but now we're gonna do a visual all

00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:48.219
right I want you to show me the line where you

00:35:48.219 --> 00:35:51.260
think upstate starts and ends I want to take

00:35:51.260 --> 00:35:53.579
this out on the street, because everybody has

00:35:53.579 --> 00:35:55.599
their own version. If you ask anybody from the

00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.159
city, they go, oh, well, yeah, Platts, or not,

00:35:58.300 --> 00:36:00.719
Plattsburgh. What do you call it? Newburgh is

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.440
upstate, or Woodstock is upstate. And you ask

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:05.179
people up here, and we go, that's not upstate.

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:09.179
So if you were to draw some sort of line, I'll

00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:11.360
go first. All right. I'll go first. Danny, go

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:15.980
to the wide shot, I guess. In my eyes, I feel

00:36:15.980 --> 00:36:19.750
it begins and ends with Albany. Think what listen

00:36:19.750 --> 00:36:23.329
to me. I think anything north. That's ludicrous

00:36:23.329 --> 00:36:27.030
west East and southwest of Albany is upstate.

00:36:27.030 --> 00:36:31.570
So this would be this line right here. I say

00:36:31.570 --> 00:36:36.650
Bam Anything wild that's to me is upstate anything

00:36:36.650 --> 00:36:40.869
to the left of that to the left of this That's

00:36:40.869 --> 00:36:43.110
upstate that's that's why the line is Poughkeepsie,

00:36:43.130 --> 00:36:46.360
bro. The line is Poughkeepsie Which you probably

00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:47.940
can't even see, because it's below the table,

00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:50.000
because it's fucking downstate. So then you are

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.539
one of those. You are one of those. Everything

00:36:52.539 --> 00:36:55.320
north of Poughkeepsie is upstate. Everything

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:59.320
south of Poughkeepsie. Poughkeepsie? Poughkeepsie.

00:36:59.659 --> 00:37:02.199
That's fair. It's downstate. You know, I could

00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:04.880
argue you're right, because the metro north I

00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.599
used to take into the city all the time, and

00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:08.880
the absolute first and last stop is in Poughkeepsie.

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:11.000
That's where it begins. That's what I'm saying.

00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:15.110
So I find that. Fascinating. That being said,

00:37:15.250 --> 00:37:18.309
here at Good News York, we love our friends and

00:37:18.309 --> 00:37:22.989
our family, our mutual New York family, upstate,

00:37:23.170 --> 00:37:24.550
downstate. Yeah, I love all of them. To the tip

00:37:24.550 --> 00:37:26.710
of Long Island, to the top of the Adirondacks.

00:37:26.809 --> 00:37:28.949
It's just interesting to me. Even out to Buffalo.

00:37:29.730 --> 00:37:31.590
Like, when you travel outside of New York State

00:37:31.590 --> 00:37:33.230
and you meet someone, you go, where are you from?

00:37:33.389 --> 00:37:36.449
I'm from New York. Oh, my God! The city? Have

00:37:36.449 --> 00:37:38.090
you ever been to the Twin Towers? No, no, no,

00:37:38.429 --> 00:37:41.769
no. We're way north of that. See, but let's be

00:37:41.769 --> 00:37:44.829
honest. Be completely honest and full disclosure.

00:37:45.409 --> 00:37:47.750
All right. Three times. We all use this both

00:37:47.750 --> 00:37:50.530
ways. Oh, of course. Depending on where we are

00:37:50.530 --> 00:37:52.989
and where we're traveling, we are totally OK

00:37:52.989 --> 00:37:54.849
when we say we're from New York that people think

00:37:54.849 --> 00:37:58.489
it's the city. I think so. Yeah. You feel kind

00:37:58.489 --> 00:37:59.769
of cool. We all use that to our advantage. We're

00:37:59.769 --> 00:38:02.510
like, yeah, you know, it depends. If you want

00:38:02.510 --> 00:38:04.929
to, you know, if it's like you want to don't

00:38:04.929 --> 00:38:08.219
fuck with me vibe. You're definitely gonna, you

00:38:08.219 --> 00:38:10.679
know, yeah, I can't do that with Ithaca. Yeah,

00:38:10.739 --> 00:38:12.480
okay. Don't fuck with me. I'm from the mean street

00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.699
I'm a New Yorker. I'm a New Yorker Don't ever

00:38:15.699 --> 00:38:18.340
do that was the worst fake New York accent ever

00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:19.800
if you do that. You will get your ass kicked

00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.420
I'm getting coffee. I'm getting coffee walking

00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:25.559
here. My mom's from the Bronx So and my dad was

00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:28.940
from the Utica So I growing up got a little like

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:30.940
my first I went to you were the Yankee and Rangers

00:38:30.940 --> 00:38:32.619
game But I also went to my first Bills game So

00:38:32.619 --> 00:38:34.880
I had like a little bit of both the most Italian

00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.409
you could possibly be My dad's a hundred percent.

00:38:37.610 --> 00:38:41.110
My mom is nothing no Italian. So I'm 50 % really

00:38:41.110 --> 00:38:43.989
50 % Italian I don't look at I got one last thing

00:38:43.989 --> 00:38:46.670
because this is fucking mind -blowing. Oh, so

00:38:46.670 --> 00:38:51.349
There's this great documentary on Netflix about

00:38:51.349 --> 00:38:53.670
Osama bin Laden. Oh, I didn't heard about going

00:38:53.670 --> 00:38:58.730
this way. Okay. No, I know and It is three episodes

00:38:58.730 --> 00:39:02.230
Amazing We get to the end of the episode. I bet

00:39:02.230 --> 00:39:04.070
I know how it ends. Yeah No, it's the same thing.

00:39:04.070 --> 00:39:06.150
I found out the Titanic sunk before I saw the

00:39:06.150 --> 00:39:10.030
movie. It sucked, but my point is You you watch

00:39:10.030 --> 00:39:11.730
the end of the movie where they they go in on

00:39:11.730 --> 00:39:14.170
this this compound where else they found some

00:39:14.170 --> 00:39:17.170
bin Laden, right? They kill him Afterwards they

00:39:17.170 --> 00:39:20.690
demolish the compound and now I went and I looked

00:39:20.690 --> 00:39:23.630
on Google Maps or Apple Maps, whatever and I

00:39:23.630 --> 00:39:29.039
found It's no close. It's a It's it's listed

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:32.260
as the Osama bin Laden compound and then I see

00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:34.739
you zoom down You can see people go there. I

00:39:34.739 --> 00:39:36.239
looked up videos people go there and they get

00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.059
pictures. It's a historical site, right? Okay,

00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:40.699
but that's not what I want to talk about Danny

00:39:40.699 --> 00:39:42.719
throw it up here. Oh, this is fucking there's

00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:46.739
a visual I'm saying the F word. I'm I'm Look

00:39:46.739 --> 00:39:51.900
around the corner. What does that say? Osama

00:39:51.900 --> 00:39:54.559
bin Laden's pizza. I swear to God, dude. I thought

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:56.860
it was a joke. Click on it, Danny. There's reviews.

00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.480
They're only 67 % in positive. They got pictures

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:03.500
of pizza. It's a real pizzeria. Dude, there's

00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:07.139
a fucking Osama bin Laden pizzeria. Listen. Is

00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:11.219
this? Listen. There is nothing more red, white,

00:40:11.260 --> 00:40:15.440
and blue than a fucking pizza shop at the sight

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:18.500
of a dead terrorist. But they hate America. God

00:40:18.500 --> 00:40:23.739
bless America. Not clearly we won I Think it's

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:25.800
better than flying an American flag right there,

00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:28.219
but I want can you click Danny? Is there a menu

00:40:28.219 --> 00:40:30.920
like can you click on Sarah menu? There's reviews

00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.099
Like what do you do go in and be like I'll take

00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:37.039
the bomber. You know what I mean like give me

00:40:37.469 --> 00:40:39.210
Give me the dynamite. Listen, I'm personally

00:40:39.210 --> 00:40:41.210
just shocked the fact that they can get pizza

00:40:41.210 --> 00:40:43.070
in the Middle East, which I guess maybe is stupid

00:40:43.070 --> 00:40:44.789
of me. They can probably get every type of food,

00:40:44.789 --> 00:40:46.550
just like we can get every type of food. But

00:40:46.550 --> 00:40:49.329
we order it and have it sent here. That's going

00:40:49.329 --> 00:40:52.349
to have a shipped. That's dangerous. That's yeah.

00:40:52.429 --> 00:40:54.769
How is that possible? First of all, the fact

00:40:54.769 --> 00:40:57.170
that there's pizza in Pakistan, maybe that speaks

00:40:57.170 --> 00:41:00.190
to my ignorance. That's what I just. But that's

00:41:00.190 --> 00:41:02.309
wild. But the fact that it's called Osama bin

00:41:02.309 --> 00:41:06.170
Laden's pizza, like what are we in the free press

00:41:06.170 --> 00:41:08.829
again? They're fucking brilliant. It worked.

00:41:09.130 --> 00:41:10.769
I just plugged them. That guy fucked up their

00:41:10.769 --> 00:41:12.489
whole town and, you know, the least they can

00:41:12.489 --> 00:41:15.369
do is sell a couple slices on his dead ass. Well,

00:41:15.570 --> 00:41:18.329
they killed him. So let's open a pizza place

00:41:18.329 --> 00:41:20.929
around the corner. You know how many stupid Americans

00:41:20.929 --> 00:41:23.190
want to come watch the fucking, come look at

00:41:23.190 --> 00:41:25.730
the pile of rubble here? You better believe we'll

00:41:25.730 --> 00:41:27.389
sell them pizza while they're around. There it

00:41:27.389 --> 00:41:29.449
is. That's what it is, isn't it? It's a straight

00:41:29.449 --> 00:41:30.550
-up tourist trap. They're like, oh, they're going

00:41:30.550 --> 00:41:32.630
to bring Americans here to... And good for them.

00:41:33.829 --> 00:41:36.329
Crazy. Because again, what a time to be alive.

00:41:36.329 --> 00:41:38.409
There's nothing I'd rather enjoy while looking

00:41:38.409 --> 00:41:41.570
at the If I'm by where the world's most terrorists

00:41:41.570 --> 00:41:43.869
the most most notorious terrorists perished then

00:41:43.869 --> 00:41:45.610
you know a slice of pepperoni What's your move

00:41:45.610 --> 00:41:47.329
though? Do you go to the pizza place first and

00:41:47.329 --> 00:41:49.090
bring it over and eat it while you're at the

00:41:49.090 --> 00:41:51.429
place? Do you go and sit down? I'm wondering

00:41:51.429 --> 00:41:54.590
Check it out because I mean normally you go to

00:41:54.590 --> 00:41:56.369
historic site you want to disrespect it But they're

00:41:56.369 --> 00:41:58.610
fucked the place so like yeah, right wipe your

00:41:58.610 --> 00:42:01.050
hands on the wall and shit or I guess just no

00:42:01.050 --> 00:42:05.219
walls, but It's crazy to me, you know The fact

00:42:05.219 --> 00:42:07.760
that there's a web that was a wild story, bro.

00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:09.679
Yeah, how do you where do you find this shit

00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.280
on my couch? I was just because they were like

00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:15.619
oh, yeah in the cushions at the end of the movie

00:42:15.619 --> 00:42:18.159
They're like, you know now people go and they

00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:19.519
you know, that's right. This started with the

00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.780
document Yeah, and they go to this site. So I

00:42:21.780 --> 00:42:23.280
was just curious I was like I wonder if I can

00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:26.260
find the site and I found it on YouTube and there's

00:42:26.260 --> 00:42:29.380
people standing there and and then and then I

00:42:29.380 --> 00:42:31.780
was like, let me see if it's on Google Maps and

00:42:31.780 --> 00:42:36.260
as I zoom in I see Obviously the compound as

00:42:36.260 --> 00:42:39.039
a historical site and I'm like Osama bin Laden's

00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:42.000
pizza. I'm just not a real dude I'm just surprised

00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:45.480
it's not a dominoes. It's not a dominoes. It's

00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:49.920
not a dominoes and it's not a subway and It's

00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:51.980
a it's a pizza place and the pizza look good.

00:42:52.460 --> 00:42:56.760
I Just I have so many questions What does it

00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.320
taste like incredible do they serve Americans

00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:01.739
because we're not well -liked in in parts there

00:43:01.739 --> 00:43:05.829
That's who it's made for Westerners maybe not

00:43:05.829 --> 00:43:08.030
specifically Americans, but but literally like

00:43:08.030 --> 00:43:11.469
if that's a tourist site who the fuck Locals

00:43:11.469 --> 00:43:15.170
aren't going to see that You want to go see where

00:43:15.170 --> 00:43:17.269
uncle got blown up? That's what I'm saying fuck

00:43:17.269 --> 00:43:20.789
like the idea of it. It's clearly a westernized

00:43:20.789 --> 00:43:24.269
Tourist location just wild well some of bin Laden's

00:43:24.269 --> 00:43:27.869

00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:15.199

up with Osama bin Laden's pizza for everybody.

00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:38.860

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:44.820
get thrown out of the PTA? Well, I had threw

00:44:44.820 --> 00:44:47.219
a pizza party with Osama bin Laden's pizza in

00:44:47.219 --> 00:44:49.679
Ithaca I might not get thrown well, but that's

00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.340
