It's a weird Week the holidays at the end 00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:36.240 of the week, but everybody mentally checked out 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.520 days ago. I feel like I feel yeah We're all on 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.820 vacation on a bed on vacation on a percent and 00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:43.740 like everything I I Listen to her watch is on 00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:46.399 vacation by the way. I'm Mike Brindisi This is 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.740 good news York sponsored by ads on the go ads 00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:51.939 on the go get out. Yeah get ads on the go .com 00:00:51.939 --> 00:00:55.280 I Everything I listen to is on a break literally 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.000 Howard Stern just went on break All my sports 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.859 shows are on break because there ain't shit going 00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:03.200 on. This is like the the lull in the season so 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.540 I haven't been a Daily Howard listener in a long 00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:08.760 time. Is he still like I haven't missed a show 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.459 since 1995 but now his contract now doesn't he'd 00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:13.879 like only do Three shows a week or something. 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.159 Yeah as of What was it like two years ago? I 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.620 think maybe three years ago Maybe five years 00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:21.420 ago when he signed because his contract you just 00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:23.939 five -year contract. This one's about to be up 00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:25.819 So probably five years ago. He started doing 00:01:25.819 --> 00:01:28.280 Monday Tuesday Wednesday You think he's gonna 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.980 uh That's the big question every time what I 00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:36.200 personally think being such a die -hard stern 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.879 fan, I think It like the howard stern serious 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.000 xm show is done, but I think really yeah, I think 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.560 he's not gonna it's not gonna be that but I think 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.319 Because he built his studio. He's got a studio 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:50.959 in his Florida home and in his New York home 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.579 and he only comes in the house and he doesn't 00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:55.540 leave the house anymore unless it's like when 00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:58.219 he when he and Interviewed Bruce Springsteen. 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.239 He wanted to be there to meet brew, you know, 00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:02.739 so special occasions, but all this Yeah, he came 00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:04.400 out for the boss and all you know, all the rest 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.040 of the staff kind of hey, you know That's they 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.719 go in But I think he's going to do kind of what 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.240 we're doing. I think he's going to do more like 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.840 pop on once a week, maybe once a month and do 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.000 a big interview. That's my my take. He's he's 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.080 always evolving and he can't put the mic down. 00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:24.159 So he's the type of guy that I feel like if he's 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.159 not in that daily gig, he's got to do something 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.099 along those lines. Right. He's not the type of 00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:31.219 guy I feel like who would just sit around. Maybe 00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:34.969 I could be wrong. No, you're right. But. If he's 00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:37.889 not in a contract, he's got a really neat advantage 00:02:37.889 --> 00:02:40.849 to where he could sell individual interviews 00:02:40.849 --> 00:02:44.349 to individual networks. Absolutely. So if Netflix 00:02:44.349 --> 00:02:47.930 is like, do a special interview with the president. 00:02:48.509 --> 00:02:50.610 They could pay Howard some incredible amount 00:02:50.610 --> 00:02:53.050 of money to do that one one -off deal. Yeah, 00:02:53.050 --> 00:02:55.090 you might be right I think you may end up seeing 00:02:55.090 --> 00:02:56.990 things like that That's yeah, that's kind of 00:02:56.990 --> 00:02:58.449 what I mean is I think you know I don't know 00:02:58.449 --> 00:03:00.129 exactly what it's gonna be but it'll be something 00:03:00.129 --> 00:03:01.889 like that Yeah, I think David Letterman did that 00:03:01.889 --> 00:03:04.210 didn't they have like a six series six episode 00:03:04.210 --> 00:03:06.370 series on Netflix where he did like six one with 00:03:06.370 --> 00:03:08.349 Obama one David Letterman randomly showed up 00:03:08.349 --> 00:03:11.009 in a mr. Beast video the other day. He blew my 00:03:11.009 --> 00:03:12.610 fucking I don't even at the end. They're like 00:03:12.610 --> 00:03:15.009 hey, and here's David Letterman What fuck is 00:03:15.009 --> 00:03:17.909 David Letterman it dude and the thing is though? 00:03:17.870 --> 00:03:20.810 He didn't even speak. He was just there for a 00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:23.430 minute. And the video went on. But you know, 00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:26.430 the thing about him is... Do Mr. Beast fans know 00:03:26.430 --> 00:03:28.050 who David Letterman is? That's a great question. 00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:30.610 But here's the thing. I think David Letterman 00:03:30.610 --> 00:03:34.210 has built such an incredible resume and just 00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:37.169 aura. He's one of the guys that can show up on 00:03:37.169 --> 00:03:42.750 any genre of podcast or movie, and you'll just 00:03:42.750 --> 00:03:44.830 find a spot for him. Just like, oh, okay. Yeah, 00:03:44.830 --> 00:03:47.860 David Letterman's here. Fucking love David Letterman. 00:03:48.020 --> 00:03:50.120 He's wild.

It's a liberal, 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.460 cultural little hub in the middle, surrounded 00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:37.059 by, you know, red counties and rural area. And 00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:39.039 that's exactly what Ithaca is. And it's just, 00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:41.120 it's an amazing place. You know, if you're driving 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.100 up from the city, the drive in from like Syracuse 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:46.200 is beautiful. If you're coming down, you know, 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.179 by the lake or Auburn. But if you drive in from 00:08:49.179 --> 00:08:53.059 the city, dude, it looks like deliverance. A 00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:55.100 lot of the times, comedians will come up... You 00:08:55.100 --> 00:08:56.279 come through a lot of fields.

It's actually been on the 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.399 travel channel as like the poorest road in the 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.460 United States. What?

But anyway, when you're driving in from 00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:30.779 the city and most comedians and musicians that 00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:33.720 come to Cornell or to Ithaca to perform do, they're 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.179 like, you know, they have the opposite take. 00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:37.639 They're like, where the hell am I? You know, 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:42.120 this is great. But yeah, so I've always said 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.360 that if you took Ithaca and you put it next to 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.360 like a freeway, like where Binghamton is, it 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.600 could be like the next Austin, Texas. But anyway, 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.919 a couple of days ago, CNN Part of a series they 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.980 do released an episode. I'm going to show you 00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:58.279 the the clip now We got a clip they named Ithaca 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.159 the number one town in the United States. That 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.740 is a must -visit It was overwhelming for people 00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:07.080 from the Ithaca area, and I think it's great 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.679 I think it embodies what this show is about so 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.899 let's let's take a look did the producer attend 00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:12.919 to college in Ithaca You know it's a good question 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:20.740 usually that's how we get people there My daughter, 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.460 actually, and my wife just went to a Girl Scout 00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:25.080 camping trip. We talked about it this morning. 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.480 Yep. It's the tallest waterfall in the state. 00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:31.399 Not that we're competing, but it's 33 feet higher 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.279 than Niagara Falls. It's just one reason why 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:37.220 the areas become known as a destination for clean, 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.299 healthy living. Higher than? Crazy. Is this the 00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:43.860 one people jump off of? No. Isn't there something 00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:46.740 like that? There's a ton of those. Because this 00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:50.700 is so calming. I could just stand here. You can 00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:52.879 walk down to where they are or you can go up 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.399 to the overlook which is even more incredible. 00:10:55.740 --> 00:10:57.519 People don't jump off? And no one knows how to 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.799 pronounce it. It's Takahonic. It's Takanic. It's 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.419 Takanic? No. That's Parkway. No. It's a different 00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:10.679 thing. Oh god. That's like the I love New York 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:15.019 t -shirts. This is my favorite part. Over the 00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:18.100 last 15 years, a nonprofit called Ithaca Murals 00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:20.360 has worked with artists to transform the city's 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.139 gray spaces into public art. Today, more than 00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:24.419 400... They're doing this all over Sergius, too, 00:11:24.460 --> 00:11:28.279 and I love it. It's the best. We went to City 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:29.500 Hall and they said, you know, we're going to 00:11:29.500 --> 00:11:31.639 give you pre -permission for all the parking 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.440 garages and all the electrical boxes. Yeah, that's 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:35.500 what I love about it because they gave up everything. 00:11:35.899 --> 00:11:39.100 Electrical boxes. To really honor the people 00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:41.980 and the values that live here. At Ithaca's famous 00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:44.299 farmer's market, local vendors highlight the 00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:46.240 region's fresh, healthy produce. Love me a good 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.700 farmer's market. Ithaca's size is so famous. 00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:53.659 Great question. This guy sounds a little biased 00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:55.820 to me about the line. Little bit. The peanut 00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:58.460 stew is really good. Did she just say the penis 00:11:58.460 --> 00:12:01.820 stew? Let's get it. She also has a restaurant 00:12:01.820 --> 00:12:03.980 downtown. Did I just hear penis stew? This looks 00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:09.500 fantastic. It doesn't look like a penis. It depends 00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:14.480 on what kind of penis he used. We're talking 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.220 like goat? You don't want your hamster doctor 00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:19.620 working on your horse. It's one of my best lines. 00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:34.460 It's amazing. Oh, snap! It's the only place in 00:12:34.460 --> 00:12:36.700 the world that houses the complete written works 00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:40.620 of the 14th Dalai Lama, his personal 1966 Range 00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:43.419 Rover, and all the welcomes to join their guided 00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:47.259 meditation. I really want some penis stew. So 00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:49.980 I got that going for me. So there you have it. 00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:53.559 And yeah, pretty cool. Speaking of which, fun 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:58.480 fact. Question. Yeah, please. Does CNN run the 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.659 story of your town is the best town in America 00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:03.620 locally in every town? Because they could do 00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:05.840 that. I mean they could did that only play in 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.919 Ithaca look if if it did I fell for it How great 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.399 would that be that would that's so make targeted 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.740 programmatic content like that. I don't I'm surprised 00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:16.820 they haven't oh That's it's actually a brilliant. 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.340 See that's what you're always forward things 00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:20.320 like a show in Massachusetts right now Let's 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.820 talk about how CNN just did a story on Marlboro, 00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:25.039 you know come to Marlboro Whatever is the best 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:26.720 town in the United States? I mean you might be 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.419 right and that's totally something CNN would 00:13:28.419 --> 00:13:32.000 do let me ask you cuz Don't mean to shit on CNN, 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.440 but I'm gonna love here because that piece was 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.500 really beautiful But it didn't you know showed 00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.419 me a couple of cool things yeah, if I was coming 00:13:39.419 --> 00:13:43.779 to Ithaca mm -hmm, and I'm not a Buddhist What 00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:45.759 would be the top three things that I would do 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.559 there first of all you would eat and okay? I 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.519 mean I mean I do that everywhere the Culinary 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.419 world around the United States has upped their 00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:57.889 game, but for a long time Ithaca was known I 00:13:57.889 --> 00:14:02.309 mean, you couldn't find dining in any city other 00:14:02.309 --> 00:14:04.570 than like, you know, New York, L .A., the big, 00:14:04.570 --> 00:14:07.470 big markets like you you had in Ithaca. Smaller 00:14:07.470 --> 00:14:09.549 cities did not have the kind of like what do 00:14:09.549 --> 00:14:11.649 you mean like that? Like we have everything from 00:14:11.649 --> 00:14:16.019 Vietnamese to Ethiopian high. obviously American 00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:20.820 bistro Japanese Mexican Italian and I know some 00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:25.080 people going The best burgers you'll ever have 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:26.320 are at the Ithaca Ale House That's what I mean 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.139 American bistro wings burgers and I know you 00:14:29.139 --> 00:14:32.080 can get that in Syracuse now But for a long time, 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:33.820 you know, I think it was known for its dining 00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:36.379 more restaurants per capita than New York It's 00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:39.139 out of all of those. I guess we'll say more ethnic 00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:42.159 less available restaurants that you have available 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:46.000 Which one do you like the best? Have you take 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.860 them all like have you eat almost the Ethiopian 00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:50.779 and all that the the not the Ethiopian that taste 00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:55.399 of Thai the Thai food is unfucking believable 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.659 I have people would agree with that absolutely 00:14:57.659 --> 00:15:00.039 I mean and it is authentic. They're from you 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.179 know Thailand and They have a couple a couple 00:15:03.179 --> 00:15:05.860 locations, and then I think I haven't eaten at 00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:08.320 Saigon kitchen But I heard the Vietnamese Saigon 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.159 kitchen is the absolute best but my personal 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:15.580 favorite going ethnic like That's not your traditional 00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:19.580 like burgers. I would say taste of Thai and Gola 00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:24.480 which is Italian but the the owner went to Italy 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.120 and trained how to cook traditional like Wow. 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.279 Yeah, it's not just like family style. It's like 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:33.639 traditional Italian cuisine I mean you can you 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:35.200 know, you're not gonna get that there but yeah, 00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:38.039 but yeah, so I mean I would say dining is number 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.299 one Number two would be your your outdoorsy stuff 00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:43.820 because that's what it's okay gorgeous nature 00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:47.960 Nature ghoulay. And third would be your at least 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.360 before the pandemic would be your your your live 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.279 entertainment. I mean, there are constant festivals, 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:57.460 street buskers, art. We have, you know, Chili 00:15:57.460 --> 00:16:00.000 Fest, the ice festival where they carve ice into 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.740 things live in front of people. It's a great 00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:06.159 spot. It's just in the middle of nowhere. Fun 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.279 fact, speaking of the Buddhist monastery where 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.080 the Dalai Lama is. Kurt Cobain before he died. 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.629 This is a true story. Oh him and Courtney love 00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:16.309 had gotten into the boot Buddhist religion. Okay, 00:16:16.590 --> 00:16:19.549 and I don't know why for reasons unknown because 00:16:19.549 --> 00:16:23.389 of that I guess Courtney love did come after 00:16:23.389 --> 00:16:25.690 Kurt Cobain was cremated and brought his ashes 00:16:25.690 --> 00:16:28.269 to that monastery and she spread his ashes somewhere 00:16:28.269 --> 00:16:30.649 in Ithaca I don't know where Wow, but part of 00:16:30.649 --> 00:16:32.470 Kurt Cobain's ashes are spread in Ithaca and 00:16:32.470 --> 00:16:35.549 that is a true story. That's incredible So that's 00:16:35.549 --> 00:16:39.669 my rap on on on that go Ithaca go Ithaca and 00:16:39.669 --> 00:16:41.409 that's what we do here on good news York We like 00:16:41.409 --> 00:16:44.429 to spread awesome shit about things in New York 00:16:44.429 --> 00:16:47.629 State Speaking of awesome awesome shit real quick. 00:16:47.629 --> 00:16:49.149 I don't even know what to make of this I don't 00:16:49.149 --> 00:16:50.529 even know if we're gonna talk about it, but I 00:16:50.529 --> 00:16:52.649 feel like I can't glaze over this We didn't do 00:16:52.649 --> 00:16:54.990 think we are talking about Tuesday Newsday, but 00:16:54.990 --> 00:16:58.049 a genetically engineered chestnut tree is growing 00:16:58.049 --> 00:17:00.629 right here in Syracuse It's moving closer to 00:17:00.629 --> 00:17:04.500 its step It's an experimental thing. This guy 00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:06.660 from the State University of New York College 00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:09.299 of Environmental Science and Forestry. Thank 00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:14.680 you. Has been working on this. Dr. Andrew Newhouse. 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.480 He's the director and there I guess the American 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.559 chestnut tree is in. Danger of being extinct 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.980 and we're gonna revive it right not the chestnut 00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:26.220 I know I don't even know what you do other than 00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:30.359 roast them on an open fire But apparently it's 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.720 important enough to wear right here in Syracuse 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.220 We're saving fucking chestnut trees Matt. I'm 00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:38.019 done with it. You know Sunni ESF actually has 00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:42.940 a lot of cool things along those lines and They've 00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:46.859 got the tree of thousand fruits or whatever the 00:17:46.859 --> 00:17:48.539 hell it is there. Oh, I didn't know that. Where 00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:50.599 they graft all the different fruits to one tree. 00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:53.539 Like every fruit possible is on one tree. I don't 00:17:53.539 --> 00:17:55.740 know about every fruit possible, but there's, 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.099 Danny might know, but it's like a couple dozen 00:17:58.099 --> 00:18:00.200 different types that grow off. Danny, you are 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.819 our resident fruit. reporter. He's wearing a 00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:06.299 Syracuse orange. He looks like a fruit now. He 00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:07.859 rocks the color orange. Is it a Syracuse orange 00:18:07.859 --> 00:18:09.500 shirt? It's just a generic orange. I feel like 00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:11.819 if you wear orange and you're in Syracuse, by 00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:13.839 default it becomes a Syracuse orange. Well, I 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.319 mean, it's an orange with a face on it, which 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.059 leads me to believe that the university is going 00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:21.339 to sue him any moment now. You know what? I think 00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:23.779 you're right. That looks a lot like Otto to me. 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.640 It's kind of bullshit. They're going to use this 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:30.210 tape against you in court. I would be... Remissed 00:18:30.210 --> 00:18:31.970 is that the right word if I didn't talk about 00:18:31.970 --> 00:18:36.950 the gift you gave me. Oh today.

I'd be like, hey, guys, feel like 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.220 going outside, hitting a couple golf balls? They'd 00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:43.259 be like, nah. And I would hit the sad trombone. 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:47.240 So as much as it's a funny little gag gift, this 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.900 has more meaning. You bought it for the right 00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:51.720 person. Yeah. Thought if anybody could appreciate 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.500 that, it would be you, buddy. I'm glad. I love 00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:55.039 you. I'm glad. That really meant a lot to me. 00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:57.859 No bullshit. And, I mean, it pairs well with 00:19:57.859 --> 00:20:02.859 your law and order gavel. Yes. Tantan. Yes. TikTok 00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:06.720 Shop has clearly honed in on stupid gag sound 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.180 effect toys to sell me. You know when you see 00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:13.079 some of these ads and people will go... Oh, who 00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:17.160 buys this shit? It's you. It's me. And me. So 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.359 one of the benefits of being friends with Matt 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.440 or working for Matt is he loves all this kind 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.180 of stuff, and I'm a hoarder. That's the positive 00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:29.200 side, isn't it? You're a clean hoarder, though. 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.980 It's not like we walk in and we're stepping over 00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:33.440 things. You at least try to put them away. I 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.400 just keep renting bigger units so I can... I 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:39.279 had to open this office just to get the shit 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:44.420 out of my house. Right. There was a time when 00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:48.039 we first started where pretty much every Monday 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.380 when we would come back from the weekend, there 00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:52.720 would be brand new toys, brand new equipment, 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:54.940 something brand new. We're still going. You guys 00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:56.859 are off on Fridays and I'm like, what do I do? 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.400 I guess I'll shop. Or just build something. Like 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.839 the studio needs some shit. And then, yes, when 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:04.240 everything else is quiet, that's when I come 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.509 in here and spend all weekend remodeling. Speaking 00:21:07.509 --> 00:21:09.710 of which, is it too early to talk about the latest 00:21:09.710 --> 00:21:13.509 remodel? I think I posted about it. So I didn't 00:21:13.509 --> 00:21:16.309 necessarily post the finished product. But if 00:21:16.309 --> 00:21:18.789 you haven't seen, if you follow our growth mode 00:21:18.789 --> 00:21:21.390 content pages on social, which you should, we 00:21:21.390 --> 00:21:25.190 have a new second studio here at our location 00:21:25.190 --> 00:21:28.309 in East Syracuse. It looks great. And we'll probably 00:21:28.309 --> 00:21:29.589 do it once we're fully ready. We'll actually 00:21:29.589 --> 00:21:31.650 just do a Good News York from there, and folks 00:21:31.650 --> 00:21:34.779 can get to see that. Spoiler alert, if you haven't 00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:36.720 seen it, it looks like every other podcast studio 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.180 on the planet. And that's OK. Intentionally. 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:41.859 That's fine. Yeah. Every gas station looks the 00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:44.240 same. You still use it. Here's what's wild. We've 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:46.400 got this massive, I don't know how many thousands 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.359 of dollars high tech sort of looks like a TV 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:53.059 studio studio. And it's awesome. And we can do 00:21:53.059 --> 00:21:54.759 cool stuff. We can put anything on the background. 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.279 We can, you know, watch video. We can do all 00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.660 this fun stuff. But. depending on the type of 00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:02.140 content you're making, the type of podcast you're 00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:03.819 doing, maybe this isn't a fit. Maybe you want 00:22:03.819 --> 00:22:07.059 something that is that more traditional, almost 00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:10.140 like a living room, laid back - More intimate. 00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:13.119 Conversation. Yeah. So we now have that. Yeah, 00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.039 that's great. So we've got the space. We've got 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.440 a nice table for two people, or we could swap 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:20.039 that out and put in some armchairs and be that 00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:24.000 very, very common. But it's common because it 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.380 looks good. Sort of podcast set but it's necessary 00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:30.200 in what we're doing I think giving options to 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.140 our clients and to ourselves is important You 00:22:33.140 --> 00:22:34.720 know, especially when you're you know, one of 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:36.180 the one of the main things I've learned from 00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:41.940 you and from this job is consistency and posting 00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:47.319 often constantly posting content is a tough game, 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:50.640 but it's necessary and sometimes You need just 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.779 a little change of scenery. And also, if you're 00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:55.859 gonna do it right, depending on the genre of 00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:59.519 podcast you're producing, I mean, yes, for the 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:01.079 most part, we can make this studio be whatever 00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.119 it wants to be, but I think giving a variety 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.220 is good. And you do it right, man. It looks really 00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:06.740 nice in there. Soundproof curtains, the whole 00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:09.519 nine. I appreciate it. Like I said, it came out 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:13.460 pretty well. We're just waiting for some additional 00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.480 curtains, so we're gonna have some different 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.019 color options. And I gotta install some new lights 00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:18.920 that just can't talk about shit that came in. 00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:21.480 So you're saying that stuff hasn't come in yet? 00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:27.319 That sucks, man. I already regret it, Danny. 00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:30.440 Sorry. I already regret it. Danny's just, I handed 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:31.819 this to Mike and Danny's just shaking his head. 00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:33.859 Danny hates me. He should just wear a shirt that 00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:36.660 says unacceptable all the time. Speaking of wearing 00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:38.880 a shirt, I'll tell you something else we've been 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:40.680 working on here at Growth Mode Content. What? 00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:45.059 Oh, Jesus, yeah. We've been talking about for 00:23:45.059 --> 00:23:46.819 a long time, I'm just gonna give you a little 00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:48.420 tease on this. We're not gonna go too in depth, 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.039 but we've been talking about for a long time 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.920 this concept in the content world, in the internet 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.339 world that has taken the United States by storm 00:23:56.339 --> 00:23:58.900 called live social selling. You've been all over 00:23:58.900 --> 00:24:02.500 it. Long story short, it's modern day QVC. And 00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:04.339 if you've been on TikTok at all specifically, 00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:07.960 you've seen it. Especially at night. Yes. And 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:13.059 what it is is it allows any person Yeah. To go 00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:17.940 online and just start selling shit. So as we're 00:24:17.940 --> 00:24:20.420 trying to figure this out and explore this world, 00:24:21.259 --> 00:24:24.160 we need some products to try to test sell. Hold 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:30.720 on. We now have some swag. Yeah, you do. I would 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.990 like to give you a shout out for diversity. Because 00:24:33.990 --> 00:24:36.549 you've given sizes that I didn't know existed 00:24:36.549 --> 00:24:41.049 2x small so our demographic our infants all the 00:24:41.049 --> 00:24:45.230 way up to 6x For those of you who are on thousand 00:24:45.230 --> 00:24:47.750 pound so the thousand pound sisters cast can 00:24:47.750 --> 00:24:51.369 order from us as well I've never seen a range 00:24:51.369 --> 00:24:53.569 of sizes that much these are custom -made what 00:24:53.569 --> 00:24:56.410 they call cut and sew so they They generally 00:24:56.410 --> 00:24:59.960 they make the fabric for this design And then 00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:02.299 assemble the shirt. So if you do that, you can 00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:03.900 make it in any size. What a horrible picture 00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:07.420 of me. That's great. Show Danny's. Danny, show 00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:10.119 yourself.

Yeah, it's 00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.839 great. Dude, he's so cute. Look at that. Like, 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:24.660 if you're in a bad mood, how does that not make 00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:25.960 you smile? Tell me you don't want to walk around 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.720 town with a beauty on your back like that. Tell 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:31.619 me you don't want to hug it. Yeah, that dude 00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:34.799 Fuck that dude. He doesn't deserve to wear heel 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:42.220 She does she's cute So we made some fun Here's 00:25:42.220 --> 00:25:45.559 for the casual night out with Danny Now here's 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.160 the thing. I want to be very clear. I don't I 00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:51.259 don't expect anybody to buy this Um, but you 00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:52.779 know, like I said, we needed some sample items. 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:54.779 They are available You can actually buy it. You 00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:56.339 can click checkout. It'll get shipped to your 00:25:56.339 --> 00:26:01.809 house in like nine days But we're getting into 00:26:01.809 --> 00:26:04.930 this world. So I'll give you a little peek behind 00:26:04.930 --> 00:26:08.710 the corner, or behind the curtain, rather. There's 00:26:08.710 --> 00:26:11.390 a few different ways to go about this, this live 00:26:11.390 --> 00:26:12.970 selling. Now, what a lot of people do, if you 00:26:12.970 --> 00:26:14.930 fire up TikTok or any of the apps, you'll see 00:26:14.930 --> 00:26:17.150 people selling. They're selling another company's 00:26:17.150 --> 00:26:19.130 products. And what you can do is if you want 00:26:19.130 --> 00:26:20.849 to sell that, you can sign up for yourself. And 00:26:20.849 --> 00:26:22.390 then you can go find all these products and say, 00:26:22.470 --> 00:26:25.220 I want to sell cell phones. You get approval 00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:27.559 from the company and and you can buy and sell 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.019 these cell phones and you make a commission a 00:26:30.019 --> 00:26:32.400 few bucks a pop on whatever item The other way 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.420 you can go is you can have your own items You 00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:37.039 can have your own store and you get those things 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.079 in the tick -tock shop In the eBay store in the 00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.160 Amazon store all those different things and then 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.839 sell your items your own items that way That's 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.019 the way we're trying it. Mm -hmm again to dip 00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:50.619 our toe in the water and just see what's going 00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:53.059 on But I'll tell you, it's very, very interesting 00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:55.480 to me. And I'll give you my initial thoughts 00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:58.400 as we start this. And maybe we can track a little 00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:01.839 bit of how it goes. But as I look into this, 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.420 it's an incredible opportunity because it's popping 00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:09.500 off and it's literally hidden. Here's what I 00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:14.539 mean by that. eBay is a company that I buy and 00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:17.079 sell random things, collectibles, shit like that 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.099 on eBay, as we've talked about almost daily. 00:27:20.589 --> 00:27:23.849 I am on that app and on their website on a desktop 00:27:23.849 --> 00:27:27.950 almost daily. I had no idea eBay had live selling. 00:27:28.670 --> 00:27:33.529 And they do and it's huge. TikTok does a good 00:27:33.529 --> 00:27:37.490 job of pushing that to you. Amazon has live selling. 00:27:37.630 --> 00:27:40.150 You will not find unless you dig to the bottom 00:27:40.150 --> 00:27:43.769 of their page. There are so many of these platforms. 00:27:43.970 --> 00:27:49.119 Excuse me. Dying here. Don't there's so many 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:53.559 of these platforms that are doing this They have 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.259 streamers. They have people that are on there. 00:27:56.259 --> 00:27:58.460 They're going live. They're selling products 00:27:58.460 --> 00:28:02.140 And they have hundreds if not thousands of viewers 00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:05.339 watching these streams in spite of the fact that 00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:07.259 it's all hidden like I just described yeah, why 00:28:07.259 --> 00:28:11.460 would you and so what that tells me is We are 00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:14.559 are so on the ground floor of a coming explosion 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:19.769 that it's insane because When you can hide stuff 00:28:19.769 --> 00:28:21.650 and still get traction and people are still selling 00:28:21.650 --> 00:28:23.809 thousands of dollars an hour and doing all kinds 00:28:23.809 --> 00:28:25.990 of crazy things with this There's an audience 00:28:25.990 --> 00:28:29.230 obviously. Yeah, and nobody else knows it even 00:28:29.230 --> 00:28:31.470 exists yet And this so what's that tell you for 00:28:31.470 --> 00:28:35.630 when it continues to make you know? it peaks 00:28:35.630 --> 00:28:40.990 well and and if furthers what I've always said 00:28:40.990 --> 00:28:43.170 which is you are always on the cutting edge you 00:28:43.170 --> 00:28:45.269 are always a step ahead of everybody because 00:28:45.529 --> 00:28:47.349 People don't realize you actually had the first 00:28:47.349 --> 00:28:50.450 podcast studio in Syracuse before and I said 00:28:50.450 --> 00:28:52.490 this a million times I came on as a guest when 00:28:52.490 --> 00:28:55.529 I had my band at the time and I remember we got 00:28:55.529 --> 00:28:58.890 done and I go so what is this like? Radio, but 00:28:58.890 --> 00:29:01.109 you can just do it whenever like that's how new 00:29:01.109 --> 00:29:03.769 it was and you were doing it and so if you tell 00:29:03.769 --> 00:29:07.279 our viewers and listeners that that A live selling 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:09.160 is about to blow up? Well, you better listen 00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:10.720 in. Well, I mean, here's the thing. I'm not the 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:13.259 expert. I'm seeing this because I am picking 00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:14.940 these things up from the experts, people like 00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:17.240 Gary Vee and people that are big in the market 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.359 and big in trend spotting. And again, as I've 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.259 dug more and more into it, I can see exactly 00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:25.160 what they're talking about. And it clearly shows 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:27.099 the opportunity. One of the other things that 00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:30.259 I've noticed, and again, maybe I'm giving a little 00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:32.839 bit away, but this should be pretty obvious to 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.589 everybody. The streams that are happening right 00:29:35.589 --> 00:29:41.829 now for the most part kind of boring. Yeah Imagine 00:29:41.829 --> 00:29:45.150 an infomercial that's longer than an infomercial 00:29:45.150 --> 00:29:49.130 And doesn't necessarily have the high energy 00:29:49.130 --> 00:29:51.410 elements. Yeah, so if you remember an infomercial 00:29:51.410 --> 00:29:54.559 you had You know, a few minutes of this demonstration, 00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:57.059 you had a super pumped up host. You're gonna 00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:59.619 love this. Everything was action. And then every 00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:01.839 two minutes or so, it would go into the regular 00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:04.119 commercial with the announcer guy and the pitch 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.440 and the food dehydrator dude. I used to love 00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:08.299 that. Encouraging you high energy to buy, buy, 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.279 buy, buy, buy. These things, these streams, not 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.380 so much, right? And I'm not saying there's anything 00:30:13.380 --> 00:30:16.140 wrong with that, but what that tells me is there's 00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:18.519 a massive opportunity for folks in the same way 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.849 that we are creating content. Just in general 00:30:21.849 --> 00:30:25.150 to promote our brands to create live streams 00:30:25.150 --> 00:30:30.950 That are built around a show mmm While you're 00:30:30.950 --> 00:30:33.369 taking a sip I think I think this also brings 00:30:33.369 --> 00:30:35.630 up the point of you know, you were talking about 00:30:35.630 --> 00:30:38.369 organic content Yeah, I think people confuse 00:30:38.369 --> 00:30:40.990 that as much as we you know, we appreciate and 00:30:40.990 --> 00:30:44.329 we want organic content. That doesn't mean they're 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.019 Shouldn't be a production element or some energy. 00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:50.099 It's completely unplanned, right? Right. It's 00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:52.319 not completely or unplanned kind of like reality 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:54.519 TV, right? And and especially when you're in 00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:56.440 the selling lane I feel like you got to have 00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:58.220 a little more than just well, we'll hit record. 00:30:58.259 --> 00:31:00.559 Yeah, but yeah, but no, no, you were totally 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:04.339 right buddy and that's Exactly kind of what I'm 00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:06.059 seeing as an opportunity is I'm seeing these 00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:07.619 people these people are making content a live 00:31:07.619 --> 00:31:10.680 stream is content But I don't know that they're 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:13.180 necessarily doing the things that a lot of other 00:31:13.180 --> 00:31:16.180 content creators are doing to really form that 00:31:16.180 --> 00:31:18.779 Community to make it an entertaining thing if 00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:22.099 I'm not looking to buy a phone today You should 00:31:22.099 --> 00:31:23.519 still make it something that I would stick around 00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.299 and watch that right Which is where a company 00:31:27.299 --> 00:31:30.220 like we come in the growth mode content and that's 00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:32.539 which I I don't want to speak out of turn But 00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:34.859 we we have been talking about this live selling 00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:38.279 thing. We have some plans And if you are listening 00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:40.119 or watching and it is something that you are 00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:41.619 involved in or thinking about getting involved 00:31:41.619 --> 00:31:45.119 in, stay tuned. Because I think we could erase 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:49.579 that element of, you know, you come on and sell, 00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:53.400 we'll do the producing and give you the energy 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:54.900 and the format. And maybe you don't even have 00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:56.740 to come on and sell. Maybe you just give us your 00:31:56.740 --> 00:31:58.819 product and we do the whole thing. There's a 00:31:58.819 --> 00:32:00.940 few different ways to go about it. And that's 00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:05.170 the piece that we're still working out. To me, 00:32:05.450 --> 00:32:07.230 I got thinking about this, and this sort of really 00:32:07.230 --> 00:32:09.509 bridges the world. So if you think about it, 00:32:10.089 --> 00:32:12.710 back in the day, we only had physical retail 00:32:12.710 --> 00:32:15.490 locations. And we liked those because we went 00:32:15.490 --> 00:32:17.309 there and we could look at the thing and we could 00:32:17.309 --> 00:32:19.390 talk to a salesperson and ask them questions 00:32:19.390 --> 00:32:22.390 and do whatever, right? Then we went to online. 00:32:22.609 --> 00:32:24.329 And online's great because it's convenient. We 00:32:24.329 --> 00:32:26.990 can buy anything. Doesn't have to be in stock. 00:32:27.089 --> 00:32:28.529 Doesn't have to be the one thing. But it took 00:32:28.529 --> 00:32:30.599 forever. We can shop. We can do whatever. But 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.380 we lost all that personal sales, right? There's 00:32:33.380 --> 00:32:36.180 no real asking questions. There's no whatever. 00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:40.440 This live selling format, to me, sort of marries 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:43.900 that. So you get a real human, a real salesperson 00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:45.579 who you can interact with. Why? And that's the 00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:47.599 interesting. You can chat. You can do whatever. 00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:50.079 And you go, hey, does this cell phone do this 00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:52.859 before I buy it? You couldn't do that on an infomercial. 00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:57.440 Exactly. And so to me, This marries the best 00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.519 of both worlds, where you have kind of traditional 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:03.339 human selling retail and online. And I think 00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:05.940 that that is gonna really, really continue to 00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:08.319 accelerate. And I think what you're going to 00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.940 see, as much as we're talking about these live 00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:13.119 streams, these sort of, I keep saying modern 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:16.700 day QVC, that's very on the nose, right? It's 00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:19.119 only purpose is to sell the stuff. You're gonna 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.559 start seeing this integration in regular content. 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.180 And you said it best today when we were... Oh, 00:33:24.180 --> 00:33:26.299 yeah. You know, what you're going to see and 00:33:26.299 --> 00:33:28.059 you're completely right is you're going to tune 00:33:28.059 --> 00:33:31.079 into a podcast like this. And as you're watching 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.180 the video and as you're watching us talk, you 00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:35.299 can click on this microphone and buy it. You 00:33:35.299 --> 00:33:37.519 can click on this TV screen and buy it. Maybe 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:39.640 plant. Maybe you like Matt's shirt. You click 00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.000 on his shirt and they go, oh, you can get it 00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:43.579 for $39. Whatever we got. You know, our friends 00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:46.319 at ads on the go. Maybe they've got a sponsorship 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.049 package. As we're talking, you could click. By 00:33:49.049 --> 00:33:50.970 their service. What do you what do you think 00:33:50.970 --> 00:33:53.509 this that's where you're gonna see it? I agree. 00:33:53.509 --> 00:33:56.109 And what do you think this does for the future 00:33:56.109 --> 00:33:57.789 of brick -and -mortar? I mean, that's already 00:33:57.789 --> 00:33:59.529 having trouble you see what the destiny mall 00:33:59.529 --> 00:34:02.289 is going through and you know How at that point 00:34:02.289 --> 00:34:05.269 if this becomes as big as you're projecting what 00:34:05.269 --> 00:34:07.430 is gonna get people to still go out? There's 00:34:07.430 --> 00:34:09.389 always other than there's always gonna be a need 00:34:09.389 --> 00:34:12.070 to grab and go good I hope that there's always 00:34:12.070 --> 00:34:14.610 going to be a need to, I need one of these right 00:34:14.610 --> 00:34:17.050 now. And even with the fastest deliveries and 00:34:17.050 --> 00:34:19.429 Amazon comes the next day, there will always 00:34:19.429 --> 00:34:21.610 be a day where you need this thing right now. 00:34:21.610 --> 00:34:23.789 Good. So you're always going to have some kind 00:34:23.789 --> 00:34:27.429 of retail. Sure. No matter what. Yeah. Like future 00:34:27.429 --> 00:34:29.949 whatever. You're going to have some sort of retail. 00:34:31.230 --> 00:34:34.050 My theory is that what's going to happen with 00:34:34.050 --> 00:34:36.050 a lot of more traditional retailers, and it's 00:34:36.050 --> 00:34:37.409 already happening, but I think it's going to 00:34:37.409 --> 00:34:41.559 accelerate, is What was a store is going to become 00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:44.460 more of a distribution point So as we're all 00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:47.199 ordering online and and and my family does it 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.460 a lot now even with groceries and things like 00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:52.480 that We don't actually go to the grocery store. 00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:56.420 We order them from the local store Somebody in 00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:58.039 the local store shops and puts them in bags. 00:34:58.260 --> 00:35:00.679 Yep. That's my wife My wife and I do that. We 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:03.900 do we do pick up orders. It's incredible if you 00:35:04.510 --> 00:35:06.570 If you go to some of these stores like the I 00:35:06.570 --> 00:35:08.550 think like the East Syracuse Walmart, you walk 00:35:08.550 --> 00:35:11.010 in the one entrance and it's not even necessarily 00:35:11.010 --> 00:35:13.010 an entrance anymore. It looks like a shipping 00:35:13.010 --> 00:35:18.329 dock and it is nothing but people filling those 00:35:18.329 --> 00:35:20.369 orders of people who aren't coming in the store 00:35:20.369 --> 00:35:23.849 anymore. So again, that's that's sort of my theory. 00:35:24.230 --> 00:35:25.969 No, dude, you nailed it. That's what I was looking 00:35:25.969 --> 00:35:28.230 for. I I didn't know what I was looking for, 00:35:28.250 --> 00:35:31.130 but I thought to myself. What could it be? I 00:35:31.130 --> 00:35:32.710 don't want to see a bunch of vacant buildings. 00:35:32.889 --> 00:35:34.170 You're so right. A distribution building. The 00:35:34.170 --> 00:35:36.510 reality is if you do it right, right? Because 00:35:36.510 --> 00:35:37.929 you're like, well, you could just have warehouses. 00:35:37.969 --> 00:35:39.969 And that's true. But if you can find a way to 00:35:39.969 --> 00:35:42.010 turn a store into a warehouse, you still have 00:35:42.010 --> 00:35:44.730 that advantage of the walk -in customer. Correct. 00:35:44.929 --> 00:35:46.869 As long as it doesn't cost you a whole bunch 00:35:46.869 --> 00:35:49.110 more to continue to operate that while you're 00:35:49.110 --> 00:35:51.650 serving the delivery customers. And again, there's 00:35:51.650 --> 00:35:55.199 a lot of business math and shit. At scale might 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.199 not work. I don't know if I've said this before 00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.420 but I'm gonna sound like a complete stoner and 00:35:59.420 --> 00:36:06.059 I kind of am but I I just feel like remember 00:36:06.059 --> 00:36:08.039 like when we were growing up high school college 00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:11.920 up until like 15, 10 years ago, maybe even five, 00:36:12.219 --> 00:36:14.280 it was like, man, I wonder what it's gonna be 00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.179 like in the future, in the future, in the future. 00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:19.719 I feel like we are finally in the future. Whatever 00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:23.679 we were saying then, I think we're in it finally. 00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:26.699 I just finally feel like I'm in that. We don't 00:36:26.699 --> 00:36:28.119 have the flying cars yet, but other than that, 00:36:28.219 --> 00:36:30.480 yeah. Remember, that was the thing. In the year 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.800 2000, for some reason everyone thought on January 00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:35.780 1st, at 12 a .m., a flying car is gonna start. 00:36:35.940 --> 00:36:39.280 That was our big thing. And that did not happen. 00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:41.920 And that's probably a good thing. No. Have you 00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:45.059 done the self -driving? For the best. For what 00:36:45.059 --> 00:36:47.539 they're called? Like a taxi or Uber that's a... 00:36:47.539 --> 00:36:49.320 Waymo's? Yeah, have you done one? When you went 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:53.260 out to Vegas? No? No. When I was in Vegas, and 00:36:53.260 --> 00:36:55.159 I could be mistaken, but they were on the road 00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:57.500 and I saw them, but I'm reasonably sure folks 00:36:57.500 --> 00:37:00.059 told me they are still only in test mode in Vegas. 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:02.519 So they're allowed to drive themselves around 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.780 the city, but not people yet? I appreciate that. 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:08.500 I think in California and other places, they 00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:11.099 are allowed to drive people. In fact, even our 00:37:11.099 --> 00:37:12.880 buddy Mike Leesey mentioned he went to a conference 00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.179 or something somewhere and took one. No, that's 00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:16.380 right. He did. He was talking about it. Because 00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:19.920 I asked him, I was like, I feel like the first 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.239 thing I would do is I would get a ride from one 00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.960 and then I'd be a jerk and leave a review and 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:26.800 say, like, driver was a dick. He never talked 00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:30.519 to me once. But yeah, he said it was awesome. 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:33.340 He said it wasn't scary. It was fine. And, you 00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:35.159 know, it was just a little weird. I don't know, 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.860 man. I don't know. We're the future, man. Not 00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:39.420 for me. Maybe I've seen too many of the sci -fi 00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:42.340 movies that predict what happens there, but I 00:37:42.340 --> 00:37:45.420 just keep thinking of Terminator. Here's what's 00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:47.219 interesting. They've predicted, and I'd love 00:37:47.219 --> 00:37:49.980 us to get to this point, they predicted this 00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:52.239 technology in cars will be to the point to where 00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.139 it communicates to each other. So what that means 00:37:55.139 --> 00:37:58.019 is imagine you're driving down a highway, and 00:37:58.019 --> 00:38:02.079 a mile down the road, there's a crash. The cars... 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:05.380 can communicate to the other cars on the road 00:38:05.380 --> 00:38:08.260 and automatically slow themselves down. So there's 00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:10.760 no pile up. That's insane. That's amazing. And 00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.219 that's that's kind of what they've talked about 00:38:13.219 --> 00:38:16.139 as a future. But I'll be honest, I don't know 00:38:16.139 --> 00:38:19.539 that I see. And it's very well happening, I'm 00:38:19.539 --> 00:38:20.760 just not paying attention, but I don't know that 00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:22.820 I see anybody necessarily working towards that. 00:38:22.940 --> 00:38:25.099 Right. Yeah. Because to do that, you're going 00:38:25.099 --> 00:38:26.480 to have to develop some sort of standard that 00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.960 every car manufacturer puts in place. And again, 00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.010 maybe it's happening behind the scenes. But I 00:38:32.010 --> 00:38:33.969 haven't quite seen that coordination yet. I had 00:38:33.969 --> 00:38:36.409 this idea years ago almost along the same lines 00:38:36.409 --> 00:38:38.389 I was like they should come up with an invention 00:38:38.389 --> 00:38:40.469 where you can message other drivers And then 00:38:40.469 --> 00:38:42.309 I was like that's a terrible idea cuz it'd be 00:38:42.309 --> 00:38:45.130 like a few radio, bro. Screw you Yeah, well, 00:38:45.190 --> 00:38:47.949 there's that as a big dog. Yeah, got some smokies 00:38:47.949 --> 00:38:49.849 on her tail Got some smokies on the fuckers figured 00:38:49.849 --> 00:38:52.309 that out. You got some bogeys on our six. What's 00:38:52.309 --> 00:38:55.869 your 20? We should put CB radios back in Passenger 00:38:55.869 --> 00:38:57.849 vehicles the therapy. Yeah, but you know, everyone's 00:38:57.849 --> 00:38:59.820 just gonna be like hey asshole Yeah, you know 00:38:59.820 --> 00:39:01.719 how many fights that would save if you're just 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.219 like you just fight on the mic. I'm on your side 00:39:04.219 --> 00:39:06.300 Don't fucking come in this lane. Oh shit. Sorry. 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:08.860 I'm sorry man. My bad, you know, people would 00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:10.500 just talk shit all day to each other Oh would 00:39:10.500 --> 00:39:13.559 be endless and I would love that. Hey Subaru. 00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.199 That's a stupid bumper sticker. Yeah, nice Volvo 00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:21.440 loser Nice electric car. I don't know. I don't 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.840 know man. It's a it's a wild time to be alive 00:39:25.900 --> 00:39:28.460 Again, I feel like we're in the future, dude. 00:39:29.699 --> 00:39:31.760 This is just about over, but I got to end on 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:34.480 this final thought here. Do I need to get my 00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.599 trombone ready? No. OK. Maybe Danny can answer 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:40.920 this question for us. You can just nod. Do you 00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:42.699 think people younger than us know what a CB radio 00:39:42.699 --> 00:39:47.360 is? Oh, shit. Did we just do a whole bit? Did 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:49.239 we just do a fucking old man bit? We did. Because 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.599 I feel like maybe. So you're right. Wait. I don't 00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:56.000 know. Danny's like, do I get that station in 00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.039 my car? Like, I don't know what that is. We just 00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:02.400 showed our age, age, age, age. CB radio, come 00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:05.119 on! How can that die out? I don't know. I don't 00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:06.420 think it was all that popular when we were young. 00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.679 I was just a nerd. My buddy had one. We used 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:10.099 to play on it all day. We would just talk to 00:40:10.099 --> 00:40:12.440 truckers. What's your 20? Dude. What's your handle? 00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:16.579 I used to love it. On pigskin, 58. Here's a funny 00:40:16.579 --> 00:40:20.980 story. I was a nerd who was big into CBN and 00:40:20.980 --> 00:40:24.510 all that shit when I was a kid. My uncle was 00:40:24.510 --> 00:40:26.829 a truck driver. This was before the days of everybody 00:40:26.829 --> 00:40:29.730 having cell phones Yeah, and one day he left 00:40:29.730 --> 00:40:32.769 home without paperwork that he needed and his 00:40:32.769 --> 00:40:34.449 truck and started heading down the thruway or 00:40:34.449 --> 00:40:39.590 whatever my aunt Thinking about it calls my mom 00:40:39.590 --> 00:40:41.989 Hey, can you try to get him on the on the CB 00:40:41.989 --> 00:40:44.110 and tell him before he gets to another state 00:40:44.110 --> 00:40:45.610 and realizes? He doesn't have his important shit. 00:40:45.869 --> 00:40:48.110 It was a text message before there were text 00:40:48.110 --> 00:40:51.050 messages dude, and I got him and and I don't 00:40:51.019 --> 00:40:55.039 I had a CB with a home antenna and shit. And 00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:57.760 luckily he was close enough to where it was faint. 00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:00.739 But he heard me calling out for him. That's amazing. 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:06.179 And heard me say, call home. And he stopped and 00:41:06.179 --> 00:41:09.300 called his wife. And what a victory back then. 00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:14.340 It's like sending a carrier. As a nerdy teenager 00:41:14.340 --> 00:41:18.280 who has all this shit and like to have a legitimate 00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:21.230 use for it. Yeah. That's just the biggest win. 00:41:21.849 --> 00:41:23.110 Absolutely. Everybody like, what are you doing 00:41:23.110 --> 00:41:25.409 all this shit? And then one day I used to carry 00:41:25.409 --> 00:41:28.090 like, and I still do, I have all kinds of, I'm 00:41:28.090 --> 00:41:29.789 such an old boy, Scott.
