Yeah, it was like a Dickens, 00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:13.219 uh... Whoa! I did not know where you were going 00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:16.080 with that. That's really pretty best Dickens 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.960 very loudly and abruptly. Uh, yeah, it's a it's 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.300 a Dickens the Christmas. Yeah.

There's 00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:33.879 like horse and buggies everywhere, which You 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.960 ever see a horse crap? Yeah, it's massive. It's 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.139 unbelievable. Yeah, they have a bag that just 00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:41.919 catches it. Yeah, I want one for myself. I knew 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:46.180 you were gonna say that. You did? It was Guaranteed. 00:02:46.699 --> 00:02:51.240 Yeah. Well, I mean... It'd come in handy. Yeah, 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.539 but before that, you see, you know, they don't 00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:55.039 always have that. Like, you see a parade, you 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.500 see the animals walking by, and sometimes there's 00:02:57.500 --> 00:02:59.780 some poor schlub who's got to walk behind them 00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:03.300 with a bucket and just shovel the shit. Quite 00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:08.599 literally. In public. It's like a modern -day 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:12.120 public shaming, I feel like. It kind of is. What 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.360 do you do? I shovel shit. In parades. I've seen 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.240 many horses poop in parades, but Skinny Atlas 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.180 was actually where I saw someone walking behind, 00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:24.620 just as you described. I feel like every parade 00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:26.639 must have been like right after breakfast or 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.500 something. They all just let it fly. Yeah, or 00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:33.000 they all have celiac disease. I don't know, but 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.719 I'll tell you this. It's a massive amount, and 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.240 whatever they're paying those people that scoop 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.460 it, they need to double it. You think the horse 00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:44.180 is doing it on purpose? I'm sure. You think he's 00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:45.939 like, you're making me put on this show, I'm 00:03:45.939 --> 00:03:47.620 just gonna shit all over the place. You know, 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.259 if you're gonna make me march in this parade, 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.240 I'm gonna make it a real shitty time for you. 00:03:51.259 --> 00:03:53.240 I just gotta wonder if a horse normally shits 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.699 that much all the time. That's a great, that 00:03:55.699 --> 00:03:59.300 is a valid question. Or do they only shit at 00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:03.080 parade times? And unlucky for us. And maybe does 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.639 the perc, or does the perc, parade? Provoke more 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.020 shit because they're nervous because there's 00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:10.439 so much noise and people I mean, I mean these 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.340 are could be scaring the shit out of these horses 00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:15.080 These are questions that that matter to America. 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.420 They do Merica Merica Well, we're gonna find 00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:23.160 out because we're not really gonna find anything 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.420 out about horse shit Well now we're not not with 00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:29.160 that attitude. What if I find someone, you know 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.779 in our travels today and I'm like, hey, I mean 00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:34.019 There's a good chance we might encounter a horse 00:04:34.019 --> 00:04:36.199 farm on the way to Skinny Atlas, but I feel like 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.819 anything we could possibly do to approach them 00:04:38.819 --> 00:04:40.579 would get you kicked in the nuts by a horse. 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.120 You know, that's something that annoys me right 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.540 there, by the way. Horse kickings? Folks, if 00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:49.139 you're going to run alongside a road... How dare 00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:53.500 you exercise in public? No, no. Or walk. Do it 00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:57.120 on the left side of the road. Facing oncoming 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.670 traffic, it is... It is basic safety. That way, 00:04:59.730 --> 00:05:01.709 if someone's distracted by their phone. You can 00:05:01.709 --> 00:05:03.889 tell this kid's dead with a cop. You can see, 00:05:04.149 --> 00:05:06.209 yes. You are supposed to run against traffic. 00:05:06.209 --> 00:05:08.310 He's right. Not by law. I'm saying for safety. 00:05:08.750 --> 00:05:10.810 Because if someone's coming, you'll see them 00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:13.269 swerving. If they're behind you when they swerve, 00:05:13.370 --> 00:05:15.089 you're fucked. You're horse shit, literally. 00:05:15.410 --> 00:05:17.889 You're smashed. Now, a bicycle, on the other 00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:19.449 hand. You're supposed to be on the right, which 00:05:19.449 --> 00:05:20.709 I don't care. You've got to ride with traffic, 00:05:20.810 --> 00:05:24.209 because you're like a vehicle. Yeah, but. Annoying 00:05:24.209 --> 00:05:27.250 as fuck vehicle, but you're like a vehicle. Bikers. 00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:30.360 Got an argument with a bicyclist the other day. 00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:32.819 Yeah, pretty sure I was in the wrong, but I was 00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:35.379 In the middle of an intersection and everyone 00:05:35.379 --> 00:05:37.519 in the other cars were like what to me and I 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.579 was like, I think I made the wrong move in anyway 00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:45.920 Bicyclists I don't under my whole thing is this 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.160 is why I'll never hmm. I will never own a motorcycle 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.560 because When you're on a motorcycle or a bike 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.660 right and you get in an accident, right? At the 00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:58.120 very least, you're going to be very, very sore 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.319 and scraped up. And then at the very worst, you're 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.420 going to be dead. In a car or some sort of closed 00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:06.040 vehicle, you have a chance. And I'm also 5 '6", 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.980 so I can't operate a motorcycle. Would you ever 00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:11.279 drive a motorcycle? No. Yeah, good. I don't want 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.839 to. No, here's the thing. My dad does. My dad 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.199 recently had a motorcycle. He had a license since 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.639 before I was born and hadn't owned one for many 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.220 years. And in his retirement, decided he'd get 00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:25.629 one again. It's never been my thing and here's 00:06:25.629 --> 00:06:27.629 the thing when I was a kid I rode my bicycle 00:06:27.629 --> 00:06:30.329 like everywhere I went I was I was one of those 00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:31.930 kids that put a hundred miles a day on their 00:06:31.930 --> 00:06:37.910 bicycle Jim pegs and no, but I also took I Don't 00:06:37.910 --> 00:06:41.569 know how many epic spills on that bicycle my 00:06:41.569 --> 00:06:45.949 legs were cut to shreds and all times every summer 00:06:45.949 --> 00:06:49.949 right and so When I think about that and I think 00:06:49.949 --> 00:06:53.170 about that same thing, but it's 60 miles an hour 00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:56.540 Like I'm just gonna be dead like it doesn't it 00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:59.560 don't make no sense it That's correct. That's 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.720 right. That's a microcosm of what your whole 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.879 body would look like if it was And by the way, 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.000 I tell my kids all that falling at one mile an 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.060 hour onto the sidewalk is a little different 00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:12.079 than you know at 60 you could stop at a stoplight 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.920 and fall to the side at zero miles an hour and 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.180 get hurt I tell my kids all the time though. 00:07:17.180 --> 00:07:19.800 I said listen, you know, my son will come in 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.040 crying Oh, I scraped up my knee and I was like 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.769 listen you're gonna If your knees are not scraped 00:07:24.769 --> 00:07:26.810 up for 90 % of your childhood, you're not doing 00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:29.290 it right. So, I mean, I mean... I'm with you 00:07:29.290 --> 00:07:31.529 on that, actually. You ever had your bicycle 00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:33.810 seat fall off by accident and then it goes up 00:07:33.810 --> 00:07:36.269 your... No, you fucking weirdo. I know. Mine 00:07:36.269 --> 00:07:38.829 was not on purpose, believe it or not. Did you 00:07:38.829 --> 00:07:41.149 do the cards and the spokes? No. Me either. I 00:07:41.149 --> 00:07:43.189 could never figure those out. It was like a 70s 00:07:43.189 --> 00:07:45.550 kid thing. Who fucking does that? I know. It 00:07:45.550 --> 00:07:47.949 was kind of a... It was a... I didn't. So here's 00:07:47.949 --> 00:07:53.910 the thing. I was a nerd. I was. Uh... I had every 00:07:53.910 --> 00:07:57.610 type of gadget attached to my bicycle, including 00:07:57.610 --> 00:08:01.470 an alarm. I had a bike alarm on my bicycle that 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:03.810 I used to ride to school when I was a kid. It 00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:07.509 had a fucking T -pad and a security unlock code. 00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:11.149 If somebody moved it, it was like a car alarm. 00:08:11.290 --> 00:08:14.769 The alarm would go off. It was meant to be literally 00:08:14.769 --> 00:08:18.470 like a steal my bike alarm. Oh, wow. But it also 00:08:18.470 --> 00:08:23.459 had like a PA speaker. And like a siren and shit. 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.279 Yeah, it was the coolest thing. That is wild. 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.459 I don't know if it was really that cool, but 00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:31.120 Remember the club in the cars. Yeah, that's the 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.159 big thing so on our way to Skinny Atlas. Yeah, 00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:39.659 I might as well do Tuesday Newsday, right? Yes, 00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:41.840 which by the way that reminds me Did you see 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.039 there was a social media video making its rounds? 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.139 I love when people turn right on the left plane. 00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:52.440 That's great Where I got so they they list off 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.000 all these names of towns in New York State. Oh, 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.200 that's the best part I know exactly what you're 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.399 talking about. Yeah, so skinny Alice. He was 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:06.200 like My favorite I will always call it because 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.419 of one of those videos skinny delis skinny delis. 00:09:09.419 --> 00:09:13.240 It's the best I thought that person was pulling 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.480 up from I love that. That's wild. They have a 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:23.940 tough time with skin neck We definitely have 00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:26.159 to do this, because here's the thing, as much 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.899 as there's a bunch of those names that I see 00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:29.440 and I'm laughing at these people trying to figure 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.899 them out, there's some other names in New York 00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:34.159 State that I don't know how to say right, and 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.840 I look just as stupid, and we should pick into 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.000 those. One of my favorite is Cocksacky. Oh yeah, 00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.519 I've always been a big fan of Cocksacky. Yeah, 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.620 someone played a prank on us, I'll tell you that. 00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:51.149 But anyway, listen, it's Tuesday Newsday. I didn't 00:09:51.149 --> 00:09:53.029 forget, I brought some news stories. I love it. 00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:55.389 And I have this idea, I wanna see what you thought. 00:09:55.690 --> 00:09:58.350 I decided, because we talk about how it's good 00:09:58.350 --> 00:10:01.009 New York, obviously our studio's in Syracuse, 00:10:01.070 --> 00:10:04.090 we talk a lot about Syracuse, but the whole idea 00:10:04.090 --> 00:10:06.509 is we talk about all of New York State. The Adirondacks, 00:10:06.809 --> 00:10:08.710 Western New York, Southern Tier, Capital Region. 00:10:08.710 --> 00:10:10.889 We're leaving the county as we speak. We're leaving 00:10:10.889 --> 00:10:13.149 the county, so obviously I'm not full of shit 00:10:13.149 --> 00:10:16.279 completely. And uh... So today I went through 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.419 and I found news from each region. I think I 00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:20.320 want to do it that way. Noice! But here's the 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.059 sad part, and honestly would just... Did you 00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:26.320 bring the trombone? I didn't. Fuck, that's probably 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.500 good for all of us. I need a sad trombone for 00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:34.019 not bringing the sad trombone. But yes, I think 00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:38.220 this justifies why we exist. It was so hard to 00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:41.799 find positive news stories. Like when we do actual 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.950 Newsday, Tuesday Newsday. And I just think to 00:10:44.950 --> 00:10:46.789 myself, this is frustrating. And then I realized, 00:10:46.889 --> 00:10:48.730 well, actually, that's why Good News York exists. 00:10:49.809 --> 00:10:52.669 Because 100%. There's a lack of it. But we're 00:10:52.669 --> 00:10:56.330 just talking about bikes. And no BS. There happens 00:10:56.330 --> 00:10:59.490 to be. This is our first Tuesday News Day story 00:10:59.490 --> 00:11:01.289 from the Southern tier, Finger Lakes Reason. 00:11:01.909 --> 00:11:03.730 Hornell, New York. Have you ever heard of Hornell? 00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:05.990 I think there's a college there. I'm thinking 00:11:05.990 --> 00:11:09.929 of Cornell. Yeah. That's an easy mistake to make. 00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:16.149 Everyday heroes don't always wear capes. Sometimes 00:11:16.149 --> 00:11:19.710 they quietly go about their business. Larry Pelkey 00:11:19.710 --> 00:11:23.049 refi - refired? Retired a few years back, and 00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:24.850 he knew he had to stay busy, so what he's been 00:11:24.850 --> 00:11:28.470 doing, he's become a bike repair shop. But he 00:11:28.470 --> 00:11:30.929 doesn't sell any. They're all free, like a hundred 00:11:30.929 --> 00:11:35.159 percent. And he - Rebuilds these bikes and gives 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.039 them away to children in need of bikes. He gave 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.460 noise one thousand one hundred and five free 00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:43.740 bicycle day old children over the last Three 00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:46.419 years Larry the bike man was recently wrecked 00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:49.460 like a bike a day. Yeah, thank you doctor away 00:11:49.460 --> 00:11:52.340 Was recently recognized by Cornell's mayor people 00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:56.299 often send them letters of thanks At least take 00:11:56.299 --> 00:11:58.860 it to he's taking in more than 150 donated bicycles 00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:02.539 from the nonprofit our community bikes of Rochester 00:12:02.539 --> 00:12:06.299 so You can look him up. He's finally filed as 00:12:06.299 --> 00:12:08.059 a charity, so you can actually donate money to 00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:10.639 help him out, because he invested $10 ,000 of 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:12.539 his own money to make this happen, and he does 00:12:12.539 --> 00:12:17.259 it out of the goodness of his heart. And I absolutely 00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:19.419 love that. So I thought I would pull that story. 00:12:19.419 --> 00:12:21.440 You ever work on your own bike, Mike, when you 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:26.789 were a kid? No. Well, yes. You had to. My main 00:12:26.789 --> 00:12:29.809 gig work working on my bike as a kid was getting 00:12:29.809 --> 00:12:33.029 my shoelaces out of the ball Yeah, tie around 00:12:33.029 --> 00:12:35.529 the pedals or the chain and my chain falling 00:12:35.529 --> 00:12:37.710 It was the worst and we had to put it up, you 00:12:37.710 --> 00:12:39.730 know upside down. Yeah. Why did it happen so 00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:41.230 much? I feel like that shouldn't have happened 00:12:41.230 --> 00:12:44.389 as much. Yeah, I feel like I Think if there was 00:12:44.389 --> 00:12:46.129 one thing when they were building the bike. They 00:12:46.129 --> 00:12:48.789 were like, let's make sure the tires don't fall 00:12:48.789 --> 00:12:52.929 off and the chain stays on and yet the tires 00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:56.070 neither occurs Usually I mean my tires stayed 00:12:56.070 --> 00:12:59.429 out thankfully, but yeah Yeah, so I mean look 00:12:59.429 --> 00:13:02.370 riding bike was riding bikes were worth it. I 00:13:02.370 --> 00:13:04.409 don't see that happening very much I don't want 00:13:04.409 --> 00:13:05.970 to sound like you look at this look at this guy 00:13:05.970 --> 00:13:08.350 with the leaf blower blowing off the edge of 00:13:08.350 --> 00:13:11.750 the road Yeah, that's great. That's how nice 00:13:11.750 --> 00:13:13.809 skinny outlets. That's we're not in skinny atlas 00:13:13.809 --> 00:13:16.129 yet, but yeah It's just somebody taking good 00:13:16.129 --> 00:13:17.950 care of their property. You know what's the worst 00:13:17.950 --> 00:13:20.090 is when you see people usually it's the opposite 00:13:20.090 --> 00:13:23.070 They're blowing their shit into the road which 00:13:23.070 --> 00:13:27.210 is illegal Because it's ridiculously dangerous. 00:13:27.409 --> 00:13:29.350 Yeah. Because you think about a motorcycle comes 00:13:29.350 --> 00:13:32.350 by. We were talking about a bike. Yeah. They 00:13:32.350 --> 00:13:37.870 hit that wet stuff and, again, crash at how many 00:13:37.870 --> 00:13:39.990 miles an hour on a bike and you're fucked. What 00:13:39.990 --> 00:13:43.570 are your feelings on in the winter? You're snow 00:13:43.570 --> 00:13:46.809 blowing your driveway and you blow snow out into 00:13:46.809 --> 00:13:48.730 the road. Yeah, that's a big no -no as well. 00:13:48.769 --> 00:13:52.909 Yeah. Because from From a snowblower's perspective, 00:13:53.070 --> 00:13:55.110 it's like, well, what am I going to do with it, 00:13:55.149 --> 00:13:57.330 right? I got it. I'm sorry. I got to put it somewhere. 00:13:57.370 --> 00:14:00.190 To a driver? It's terrifying. It's like little. 00:14:00.230 --> 00:14:03.129 Yeah, it's horrible. Like slippery patches of 00:14:03.129 --> 00:14:08.730 snow. Right. Right. Which, man, I've saw. Snow 00:14:08.730 --> 00:14:11.830 blowing's no joke. It's snow blowing. It's also 00:14:11.830 --> 00:14:15.450 a horrible thing to do. Like, I don't know. I've 00:14:15.450 --> 00:14:17.590 made that mistake as an upstate New Yorker. I 00:14:17.590 --> 00:14:20.149 don't know. I would never do it again. I enjoy 00:14:20.149 --> 00:14:24.179 it. But the price of one snowblower is like four 00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:26.600 years of paying a plow guy, and I don't have 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.820 to get out of my bed Yeah, there's an app. No, 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.620 you can just like order a plow plows and mows 00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:36.399 mows and plows guys and Manliest created. Yeah, 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.399 that'd be a good band name plows and plot like 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.700 Crosby still plows and mows. I Don't know about 00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:45.000 that. Wait, what was it? What am I thinking? 00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:52.120 You know what? What was that band? Two names. 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.320 I'm blanking out. I know the song now, too. Who 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.139 is it? Hall and Oates. There you go. Hall and 00:14:59.139 --> 00:15:05.940 Oates. What I got? Well, anyway. Actually. Is 00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:12.320 there more to this story? No. I saw once. There's 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.179 this band from Pennsylvania. Before the pandemic, 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.019 they came to Ithaca regularly. I don't know what 00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:20.379 happened. Hopefully they're alive. No bullshit. 00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:23.620 They were called, I believe they were called 00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:26.279 Hall and Motherfucking Oats, but it was like 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:31.580 the abbreviation. Okay. This is wild. They were 00:15:31.580 --> 00:15:35.820 a Hall and Oats tribute band. Yep. Okay. But 00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:43.759 they would open by being a tribute band for talking 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:45.740 heads. Or maybe it was the other way around. 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.960 They were Talking Heads tribute band, and they 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.779 would open up for themselves as a Hall and Oates 00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:52.639 tribute band. So they were two tribute bands, 00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:56.000 and they would do both shows. That sounds borderline 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.200 psychotic. It was borderline psychotic. And the 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.620 singer dressed up just like David Byrne from 00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:03.960 Talking Heads in the suit, and he moved like 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:05.919 him, and he sang like him. Because here's my 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.539 thing. You really owned the part, huh? If you're 00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:10.299 going to be a tribute band, I want the whole 00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:12.200 thing. I want you to look like them, sound like 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.960 them. I can respect that. You know, like there 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.440 was a member of Brownies and Herkimer back in 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.720 the day. I lived there. Yeah, me too. That's 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.100 probably where we saw each other a lot. Yep. 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.100 There was a band called the Soft Parade. They 00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:27.620 were a Doors tribute band. And they went as far 00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:30.879 as to the singer who looked exactly like Jim 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.799 Morrison. He would have a bottle of Jack Daniels. 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.980 He actually overdosed. He actually overdosed. 00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:39.919 He had a... I mean, he would drink it on stage 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:41.480 like Jim Morrison did. I'm assuming it was like 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.179 iced tea, but... They went the full gamut. And 00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:46.240 I don't know about you, but if you're going to 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.559 be a tribute band, you got to really play the 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.840 part. Yeah, like that's just you can't because 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.039 then it just looks weird. You know, in some cases 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.860 you can't help. You don't look like them, but 00:16:56.860 --> 00:17:00.639 at least make the effort. You know, I'm with 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:02.059 you there, buddy. I don't even know how we got 00:17:02.059 --> 00:17:07.819 here. We start talking about bikes, you know, 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.519 and look where we are now. Yeah. We're on our 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:13.460 way to Beautiful Skinny Atlas. Do you think we 00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:17.299 have a chance to see Jim Bayheim? No. Or Jason 00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:21.900 Usta? Probably not. Way to be negative. We might 00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:24.440 run into somebody from Profound. It's about our 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.220 best chance. I mean, that seems to happen everywhere 00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:30.160 I go with you guys. Well, they do own half the 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.200 skinny ass. That's where Jeff is. We should have 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:35.259 messaged Jeff. Oh, I think he's out of town. 00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:36.720 Jeff's gonna say that Jeff Lambfear lives here? 00:17:36.819 --> 00:17:45.099 Yeah. Skinny. Yeah, it moves. Carman Dan's got 00:17:45.099 --> 00:17:47.980 a boat out here, too. You invited me out on it. 00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:52.420 That's cool. I haven't met you yet. Years ago, 00:17:52.460 --> 00:17:55.319 my sister graduated from Kyuka College. She's 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.940 got her master's there. And we were driving from 00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:04.220 Ithaca to Kyuka College for the graduation. And 00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:09.420 there was, so it would be going from the Finger 00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:12.859 Lakes going from from Kewka Lake all the way 00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:16.720 over to Kewka Lake and in between Seneca and 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:21.079 Kewka Lake I drove by this field and There had 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.140 to be 30 Amish kids full garb, you know, they're 00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:28.420 cute little outfits which I love suits and suspenders 00:18:28.420 --> 00:18:31.460 and bonnets and all their bicycles were in a 00:18:31.460 --> 00:18:34.019 pile because they all went there girls and boys 00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:38.470 playing laughing playing baseball No cell phones. 00:18:38.490 --> 00:18:41.089 Like real humans. Like real humans. And that's 00:18:41.089 --> 00:18:44.430 when it dawned on me. The fucking Amish got it 00:18:44.430 --> 00:18:46.529 right, man. All these years growing up, we'd 00:18:46.529 --> 00:18:48.829 be like, oh, Amish, you don't know how to use 00:18:48.829 --> 00:18:52.470 a toaster. Right? Meanwhile, look at the hell 00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:54.849 we're in because of social media and misinformation. 00:18:55.210 --> 00:18:58.529 And they're happy playing stickball in a fucking 00:18:58.529 --> 00:19:01.130 field because that's what life's really about. 00:19:01.210 --> 00:19:04.650 Human social connection. No, that's just all 00:19:04.650 --> 00:19:08.769 anybody ever shows. Yeah. Well, whatever. But 00:19:08.769 --> 00:19:10.109 it's funny how we used to think - Just wait till 00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:11.970 Rumspringa, bitches. Yeah, Rumspringa, that's 00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:15.309 crazy shit. Uh, but wait till, you know, we made 00:19:15.309 --> 00:19:18.210 fun of them. Growing up. Not me. Well, I'm sure 00:19:18.210 --> 00:19:20.210 I didn't even know that. But, you know, people 00:19:20.210 --> 00:19:22.089 would make fun of them for being weird and it's 00:19:22.089 --> 00:19:24.450 like, now we're weird. Look at us. I mean, we 00:19:24.450 --> 00:19:26.130 are weird. We're all fucking - You got me there. 00:19:27.490 --> 00:19:31.109 Coming up with conspiracy theories and wild shit. 00:19:31.369 --> 00:19:33.450 We should be playing stickball in bonnets and 00:19:33.450 --> 00:19:37.170 suspenders, man. I'm with you. I mean, I don't 00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:39.069 know about the wool, but you know, sometimes 00:19:39.069 --> 00:19:41.130 that shit gets a little warm, but... Yeah, wool. 00:19:41.309 --> 00:19:44.630 I wouldn't do well with that. I don't want to 00:19:44.630 --> 00:19:47.609 wear wool anything. Right? Like, who decided 00:19:47.609 --> 00:19:51.069 wool was it? Same thing with wicker on. I don't 00:19:51.069 --> 00:19:56.630 want a wicker table. Total other side of the 00:19:56.630 --> 00:19:59.990 world, but I'm with you on that too. Why do you 00:19:59.990 --> 00:20:02.230 want a table that has no flat surface? Yeah. 00:20:02.490 --> 00:20:04.609 Doesn't make any sense. No, I don't need wicker. 00:20:04.849 --> 00:20:07.690 My mom had a...

What do 00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.900 you mean give back several local nonprofits and 00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:01.759 active service members around the capital region 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:04.690 received boxes of Girl Scout cookies During the 00:21:04.690 --> 00:21:06.750 annual cookie season, officials with the Girl 00:21:06.750 --> 00:21:10.789 Scouts of Northeastern New York said 17 ,719 00:21:10.789 --> 00:21:13.190 boxes of cookies were donated through the council's 00:21:13.190 --> 00:21:15.509 Gift of Caring program. That's a lot of cookies. 00:21:15.589 --> 00:21:17.730 They let customers buy cookies that are later 00:21:17.730 --> 00:21:20.369 donated to local nonprofits, military support 00:21:20.369 --> 00:21:25.390 organizations, and food pantries. And I got to 00:21:25.390 --> 00:21:27.710 tell you, these are the charities that benefited 00:21:27.710 --> 00:21:30.410 from it. St. Luke's. So just to be clear, people 00:21:30.410 --> 00:21:34.619 donated or the Girl Scouts donated? The so the 00:21:34.619 --> 00:21:37.119 gift of caring lets customers buy the cookies 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:42.859 that are later donated Let me see the American 00:21:42.859 --> 00:21:46.799 Red Cross, where is it shipped 5 ,000 boxes? 00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:50.519 So this is a group effort that's a group after 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:54.559 They benefit a bunch of charities. But to me 00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:58.359 the real story is it's 2025 we've seen so many 00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:02.500 things change Girl Scout cookies are still fucking 00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:04.619 king. And they're still making a difference. 00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:07.619 Because you know, there's a lot of things that 00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:09.900 are now outdated. You know, with social media 00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:13.599 and everything. But not capitalism. And not when 00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.900 a little girl comes up and says, would you like 00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:19.279 to buy some? Well, you know, it doesn't hurt 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:21.960 that the cookies themselves are like crack. What 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.619 are your go -tos? As a parent of Girl Scouts. 00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:30.940 And my wife does the whole cookie thing. So we 00:22:30.940 --> 00:22:33.140 had, you know, truckloads of cookies around. 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:35.740 But, you know, we had to buy in cases ourselves. 00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:38.720 Finmints will never not be the best thing ever 00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.339 made. You're the only one that's ever agreed 00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:43.019 with me. What? No. They're the most popular cookie. 00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:46.359 Period. They're so good. They're the best. I've 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:50.059 grown to love Tagalongs. What was the... Like 00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:54.519 the brown... With the dark Yeah, yeah. Yeah. 00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.539 Yeah, you know anything hold them. Yes. Yes. 00:22:56.539 --> 00:22:58.900 I always shit on those I'm just blanking out 00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:00.720 of them. Those are like the second most popular. 00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:02.759 Yeah, I used to hate those now I love them. I 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.319 love them. They're they got some coconut of them, 00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.599 you know Look a blanket on what they're called 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:14.220 a bad girl. Come on girl scout dad What is the 00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:19.180 etiquette for you on like let's you know You 00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:23.329 own two companies at this point Sharpie. What 00:23:23.329 --> 00:23:27.930 is your etiquette on bringing the Girl Scout 00:23:27.930 --> 00:23:30.230 thing to work? Do it. Yeah. Why not? And hitting 00:23:30.230 --> 00:23:32.450 your coworkers up. Because a lot of people bitch 00:23:32.450 --> 00:23:34.869 about that. They're like, oh, you put us in a 00:23:34.869 --> 00:23:37.390 terrible position because we can't say no. And 00:23:37.390 --> 00:23:38.690 then if one guy does it. You can't say no. So 00:23:38.690 --> 00:23:40.950 first of all, that's a you problem, right? I 00:23:40.950 --> 00:23:44.490 agree. Because you 100 % can't say no. And nobody 00:23:44.490 --> 00:23:48.710 has to buy anybody else's shit. And I would say 00:23:48.710 --> 00:23:52.869 don't buy it just to buy it. But, you know, again, 00:23:52.990 --> 00:23:54.289 that's what I'm saying. Like Girl Scout cookies 00:23:54.289 --> 00:23:56.869 are good. There's a lot of people that sort of 00:23:56.869 --> 00:23:59.549 look forward to those. So you're, you know, if 00:23:59.549 --> 00:24:01.529 you're offering them, take it or leave it. It's 00:24:01.529 --> 00:24:03.910 totally cool. But, you know, I've seen a lot 00:24:03.910 --> 00:24:06.369 of people in workplaces and, you know, maybe 00:24:06.369 --> 00:24:09.630 a quarter of the people buy it. That's totally 00:24:09.630 --> 00:24:11.910 cool. All right. So what happens? What's the 00:24:11.910 --> 00:24:15.109 etiquette on? You know, and here's the thing. 00:24:15.390 --> 00:24:18.269 I'll give you this. If you want an easy out. 00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:23.759 My niece, I bought from my niece. I got somebody 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.039 at home that that's the out is selling. Is that 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.039 the Girl Scout cookie version of, oh, I'll catch 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.119 you on the way out to the salvation? Yeah, sort 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.119 of. And the other thing is, though, it's almost 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.539 very frequently true. You know, you have a close 00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:39.140 family member, you already bought him or some 00:24:39.140 --> 00:24:41.160 kid fucking beat you to knock it on the door. 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:42.559 And you're like, all right, I already got a case 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.599 of Girl Scout cookies. I'm not ordering more. 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:50.079 That is the valid. It's a valid move. If you 00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:53.200 care enough to give an excuse. I personally... 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.059 Because what happens when... I'm the same way 00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:58.420 at, you know, the checkout. You know, you're 00:24:58.420 --> 00:25:00.460 going to the checkout. Like, do you want to donate 00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:05.140 a dollar to whatever? No. Sure. Like, it's okay 00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:07.240 to say no. You're right. You're right. And I 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.140 don't always say no. What happens when coworker 00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:12.140 A comes up and says, hey, my dog... And then 00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:14.400 coworker B comes up, I don't know, maybe a couple 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:17.049 hours later? God, do you have to buy Coworker 00:25:17.049 --> 00:25:18.609 B's cookies because you bought Coworker D's? 00:25:18.609 --> 00:25:22.410 You don't have to. You could. No. You could split 00:25:22.410 --> 00:25:25.349 the order between the two. You could just say, 00:25:25.349 --> 00:25:28.670 uh, you are slower than Jimmy. Yeah, that's true. 00:25:28.990 --> 00:25:30.589 Early bird gets the worm. Welcome to capitalism. 00:25:30.809 --> 00:25:33.869 Welcome to capitalism. What? No, you - Too slow, 00:25:34.009 --> 00:25:36.789 little girl. Listen - You fail. Somebody else 00:25:36.789 --> 00:25:39.869 got the sail. Early bird gets the worm. Teach 00:25:39.869 --> 00:25:43.119 it. Grind harder. Teach me how to - Tie a knot. 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.740 You're gonna starve now. Go hock your cookies 00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:48.000 for a discount. We're talking about the Salvation 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.480 Army bell ringers. They must be struggling because 00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:53.720 nobody carries cash anymore. They must do a credit 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:55.519 card thing now, right? Can they? Oh, I don't 00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:58.599 know. That's a great question. Why does that 00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:00.460 truck look like a dog? I don't know, it's a... 00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.779 What is that famous white cartoon dog that it 00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:05.799 looked like? I'm trying to think of the name 00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:08.000 of it. You know what I'm talking about. Oh, geez. 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.579 It looked like a specific dog. Are you thinking 00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:13.799 of Clifford, the red dog? No. It's a white face, 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:16.180 like a cartoon. Uh -huh. I know where you're 00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:19.359 going. Droopy. It is droopy. That's what I was 00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.240 going to say. Droopy dog. Droopy dog. Are we 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.720 in? By the way, are in. Beautiful, skinny ant. 00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:30.319 Let's rapidly approach downtown. Skinny -dallys. 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:34.289 Skinny -dallys. Thank you. German for a whale's 00:26:34.289 --> 00:26:37.529 vagina. I don't think that's true, Bob. No, it's 00:26:37.529 --> 00:26:41.450 not. It's Anchorland. This is a beautiful little 00:26:41.450 --> 00:26:44.390 town, man. It reminds me of, like, Cooperstown 00:26:44.390 --> 00:26:50.529 meets Geneva. I don't know. That's a weird combination, 00:26:50.650 --> 00:26:53.450 but I think I understand what you're trying to 00:26:53.450 --> 00:26:57.250 say. I'm going to aim for the parking lot. Hey 00:26:57.250 --> 00:27:06.430 -o! Okay. The nicest part about Skinny Atlas, 00:27:06.869 --> 00:27:08.750 big old parking lot right in the middle of town. 00:27:12.250 --> 00:27:13.170 Question is whether or not there's any spots. 00:27:13.190 --> 00:27:17.970 Just kind of like... Cooperstown. It is very 00:27:17.970 --> 00:27:19.890 much like Cooperstown. Yeah, I'm getting the 00:27:19.890 --> 00:27:21.789 Cooperstown vibe. I've been here before, but... 00:27:21.789 --> 00:27:24.609 Well, you know, it's affluent touristy. Yeah, 00:27:24.609 --> 00:27:27.410 yeah, yeah. So it's a very similar... Less baseball, 00:27:27.410 --> 00:27:29.289 more boating. That'd be a... You know, I'll tell 00:27:29.289 --> 00:27:32.670 you what. That'd be a fucking... Day trip for 00:27:32.670 --> 00:27:35.549 good news York. Yeah, we're going on that way 00:27:35.549 --> 00:27:42.250 Got a lot of good restaurants there We were they 00:27:42.250 --> 00:27:44.869 filmed we should we should pack up Jason's moral 00:27:44.869 --> 00:27:47.829 and go to the baseball all would be fucking awesome 00:27:47.829 --> 00:27:51.609 actually So they filmed a legal part of a league 00:27:51.609 --> 00:27:53.630 of their own or even a couple imagine if we can 00:27:53.630 --> 00:27:57.390 get a couple You Syracuse Mets and just bring 00:27:57.390 --> 00:28:03.460 to the hall Do you remember? Do you remember? 00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:06.039 21st. Well, you didn't really follow sports, 00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:08.359 but every summer they would have the Hall of 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:09.900 Fame game in Cooperstown where they would take 00:28:09.900 --> 00:28:14.180 two baseball teams and they would bust them wherever 00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:16.559 they were from up to Cooperstown to play like 00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.000 a preseason game. And you would just wait out 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.279 in the parking lot and shag fly balls with your 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.240 glove and your friends. That was great. All right. 00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:27.940 Sounds like a blast. So we are here at Clovers. 00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:32.519 Yes, we are in Skinny Atlas. Sorry. This place 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.559 is awesome. Dude, this place is fantastic. I 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.599 think I got, I thought I did. Oh, I got it. You 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:45.619 got it. Perfect. Thank you so much. So they got 00:28:45.619 --> 00:28:48.880 free Wi -Fi, which is cool. Yeah, and they give 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.420 you the password on the menu, which sounds kind 00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:56.069 of the point. Yeah. You know, some places are 00:28:56.069 --> 00:28:58.170 just like, you ever notice like some public places, 00:28:58.210 --> 00:29:00.269 you're like, hey, what's the Wi -Fi for the right 00:29:00.269 --> 00:29:03.470 girl? You'll never find it. As an IT professional, 00:29:03.750 --> 00:29:05.509 I strongly recommend that people don't provide 00:29:05.509 --> 00:29:08.089 public Wi -Fi. There's an old man down the road 00:29:08.089 --> 00:29:11.230 next to the old oak tree. You talk to him, like 00:29:11.230 --> 00:29:13.849 it's almost impossible. I got, I got this really 00:29:13.849 --> 00:29:16.549 cool service with my phone that gives me internet 00:29:16.549 --> 00:29:21.410 wherever it goes. It's really, it's super handy. 00:29:21.789 --> 00:29:24.630 Where you are against Wi -Fi. Yeah, you shouldn't. 00:29:24.460 --> 00:29:26.839 No business should provide public Wi -Fi. Oh, 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.400 I can't argue with that. It's just not. You should 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.440 want Wi -Fi, no, right? You don't have service. 00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:35.380 For one reason. You don't have any service. I 00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:37.660 have great service. I do not. Well, you have 00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:39.799 a fucking iPhone. Do you have Verizon? No, I 00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:43.519 have an Android. How do you have Verizon? Uh, 00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:47.579 anyway. But if it's a matter of no service, wouldn't 00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:49.819 you get more Wi -Fi? Wouldn't you get Wi -Fi? 00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:52.319 I mean, I guess, but... Yeah, well, that's one... 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:55.160 still would never put my phone on some random 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.680 public network anyway. That's fair. And it's 00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:01.279 like, I won't tell you what that's like. So back 00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.359 to the restaurant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This place 00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.900 is awesome. This place is awesome. It's a great, 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:09.839 I don't know, it's, well, it's Clover's Cafe, 00:30:10.059 --> 00:30:13.220 right? So it is, and it's that kind of cafe diner 00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:16.460 -ish vibe. What a great lunch and breakfast spot. 00:30:17.619 --> 00:30:19.859 It's got, here's what I love about it. Well, 00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:21.339 there's a lot of things. First of all, it smells 00:30:21.339 --> 00:30:25.839 fantastic. It's clean. It has a diner feel, but 00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:28.160 it's contemporary. It's very modern. But not 00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:31.259 one of those jam -packed diners. No. I love it, 00:30:31.259 --> 00:30:32.640 man. That's almost like a... You ever been to 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:34.220 one of those places that it's good, it's great 00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:36.240 food, but it's so packed and it's so small that 00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.319 it's like a concert where you can't hear the 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:42.420 people at your table speak? Yeah. That is a problem. 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.420 It's a great place. This is great. It's busy, 00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:47.759 but we were able to walk in at like a little 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.660 after... Probably the biggest lunch run. Yeah, 00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:54.339 but we have a walk right in credit table Pretty 00:30:54.339 --> 00:30:56.819 excited about what we got coming. It looks really 00:30:56.819 --> 00:31:00.000 good. This is big with me Breakfast all day. 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.559 I love that. Yeah, I Love that. I don't know 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.859 that you did and I didn't know that and I probably 00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:08.500 would have ordered breakfast But you know what? 00:31:08.500 --> 00:31:09.900 I'm glad I ordered the weights. Here's the thing. 00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:11.680 You ordered chicken I was thinking about chicken 00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.799 wings. I'm glad one of us got them so we can 00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:16.990 find out The kind waitress who, by the way, has 00:31:16.990 --> 00:31:20.130 been phenomenal. Yes. Spoke very highly of the 00:31:20.130 --> 00:31:23.269 wings. Yeah. So I am a wing connoisseur. So am 00:31:23.269 --> 00:31:26.150 I. I may regret. We might just have to switch 00:31:26.150 --> 00:31:28.529 meals. That's fine. Yeah. You can have some of 00:31:28.529 --> 00:31:31.329 mine. We're like a couple. I am a wing burger 00:31:31.329 --> 00:31:33.269 guy. I'm not feeding you, though. That's fine. 00:31:33.630 --> 00:31:39.359 Really? Not baby burgers. No? No. I uh, when 00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:41.579 I go to a new town or a new place, I like to 00:31:41.579 --> 00:31:44.380 try a burger or wings. I like to jug. I consider 00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:48.180 myself a pizza wing burger connoisseur. So what 00:31:48.180 --> 00:31:50.900 the wings are? Good old American boy. Well, see, 00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:54.140 people get hung up in the, oh, sauce is so good. 00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.720 Yes, of course the sauce matters. But if you're 00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.380 doing traditional buffalo, you know, the sauce 00:31:59.380 --> 00:32:02.319 should relatively taste the same. It's the quality 00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.049 of the wing. Is it coated? Is it? you know with 00:32:05.049 --> 00:32:07.309 starch or or I mean that's half bread crumbs 00:32:07.309 --> 00:32:09.769 that's half I think you're you're right that 00:32:09.769 --> 00:32:12.769 the cook is the cook is the cook is as if not 00:32:12.769 --> 00:32:14.650 more important than the sauce it's underrated 00:32:14.650 --> 00:32:16.289 people will talk about the cook enough you're 00:32:16.289 --> 00:32:20.210 right but a good wing sauce it's not gonna make 00:32:20.210 --> 00:32:23.970 a bad cook good correct but it'll take a decent 00:32:23.970 --> 00:32:26.430 wing and make it phenomenal right but a bad a 00:32:26.430 --> 00:32:28.910 bad cook can take it that'll ruin everything 00:32:28.910 --> 00:32:31.680 100 % It's like a drummer in a band, right? A 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.079 great drummer will make a bad band sound good. 00:32:34.819 --> 00:32:37.519 A great band with a bad drummer make you sound 00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.440 horrible. Kind of. Something like that. But yeah, 00:32:40.700 --> 00:32:42.880 it's not. But it's the quality of the wing itself. 00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:46.319 Is it very meaty? Did they coat it with red crumbs? 00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:48.400 Did the chicken go to school? Was it well -rounded? 00:32:49.299 --> 00:32:52.259 Was the chicken a family man? Was he a piece 00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:54.759 of shit? What did he vote for? Was he free reign? 00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:57.750 Right. These are all the things we want to know 00:32:57.750 --> 00:33:00.049 right and in here at Clover's they hand -picked 00:33:00.049 --> 00:33:02.950 the best chickens all the time You think Jason 00:33:02.950 --> 00:33:07.009 used to never eat here? I don't know maybe You're 00:33:07.009 --> 00:33:09.569 very obsessed with this guy. Yeah, then the Talbot 00:33:09.569 --> 00:33:11.670 said almost almost danger There's not like an 00:33:11.670 --> 00:33:13.690 order to keep you away from his home. I think 00:33:13.690 --> 00:33:15.529 we should yeah, right I don't know where he lives. 00:33:15.529 --> 00:33:19.849 I googled it. Yeah, big fan. Yeah Once he was 00:33:19.849 --> 00:33:22.569 gone skinny Atlas is a beautiful town full of 00:33:22.569 --> 00:33:26.349 very successful celebrities, all kinds of, and 00:33:26.349 --> 00:33:29.589 lots of great everyday families. How often do 00:33:29.589 --> 00:33:32.390 you think so many of those big names are seen 00:33:32.390 --> 00:33:35.349 around town? I'm going to say almost none. Well, 00:33:35.349 --> 00:33:39.130 hopefully, what's the date? Hopefully July, it's 00:33:39.130 --> 00:33:41.809 a big day for celebrities to come downtown. Well, 00:33:41.809 --> 00:33:43.450 because here's the thing, right? Part of the 00:33:43.450 --> 00:33:44.910 reason they live here is the lake, and we're 00:33:44.910 --> 00:33:46.309 going to take a look at the lake once we leave 00:33:46.309 --> 00:33:50.529 here. And they have big places and a lot of land. 00:33:50.549 --> 00:33:52.789 And I think the whole idea is to just kind of 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:55.599 Be on your own and not be bothered, right? This 00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:57.539 is a very... Someplace beautiful where you don't 00:33:57.539 --> 00:33:59.700 have to deal with the people. I don't know, that's 00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:01.420 my idea. Maybe I could be wrong. This town very 00:34:01.420 --> 00:34:05.160 much has the vibe of like... We know you're here 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.259 to relax and we're not gonna bother you. Yeah. 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:11.260 It's a good call. It's a good... It's nice. It's 00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:14.840 very nice. Everything about this town is clean, 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.340 quiet, nice. No riff -raff. God, I'm getting 00:34:19.340 --> 00:34:22.079 old. That is a riff -raff. No riff -raff. No 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.980 ruffians about? None of those ne 'er -do -wells 00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:26.960 running around the streets? I don't know what 00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:28.280 you just said, but it worries me. You never heard 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.739 of a ne 'er -do -well? Nope. You know, when Danny's 00:34:31.739 --> 00:34:33.659 filming, I can see how many times he does this. 00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:37.280 Yep. Not when we're in the studio, so he does 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.639 that a lot with me. That's true. That's fair. 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:43.019 He's not judging you, he's just, you know. Could 00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:49.429 be judging. Younger and easily shocked. Think 00:34:49.429 --> 00:34:51.630 it'll be funny. Let's uh, why don't we take a 00:34:51.630 --> 00:34:54.110 break? Yeah, we'll come back with some food in 00:34:54.110 --> 00:34:59.429 front of us. We'll do it. Hold on One two three 00:34:59.429 --> 00:35:06.829 poop that So We got our food do your wings smell 00:35:06.829 --> 00:35:10.190 they smell great incredible your your plate the 00:35:10.190 --> 00:35:14.650 eggs look amazingly cooked I Got the meat lovers 00:35:14.650 --> 00:35:18.119 omelet It's got hash. Love me some hash. Corned 00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:21.300 beef hash. Look at the steam coming off mine. 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.840 Now, I will say, one of the first things I look 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:28.280 at, as I talked about, is the wing itself. Now, 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.219 these are a little smooth, which makes me nervous, 00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:32.320 because I like texture on my wings. I like them 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:34.719 to be either coated or... That's weird. Wings 00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.280 aren't supposed to be coated. No, you know what 00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:37.719 I'm talking about. You spent too much time at 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.699 Hooters. Never. I went once. Their wings were 00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:44.880 terrible. Um... Alright, dig into the wing first. 00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:56.420 Absolutely. The cook, the sauce, everything we 00:35:56.420 --> 00:36:02.019 talked about. Very good. He likes it. He likes 00:36:02.019 --> 00:36:05.659 it. Mike, he likes it. Mike, he likes it. Buffalo 00:36:05.659 --> 00:36:09.360 sauce is perfect. Nice. Believe it or not, you 00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:12.059 can mess up a medium sauce very easily. You won't 00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:13.980 realize it. Proper hot sauce is nothing but hot 00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:17.090 sauce and butter. Mm -hmm. Try to get fancy with 00:36:17.090 --> 00:36:19.170 it, you've failed. Well, there's other things 00:36:19.170 --> 00:36:23.769 like garlic powder and vinegar that goes in it 00:36:23.769 --> 00:36:28.710 very little, but this is great. Awesome. All 00:36:28.710 --> 00:36:30.170 right, let's see what we got on the breakfast 00:36:30.170 --> 00:36:31.889 side here. What do we got? I'm gonna dig into 00:36:31.889 --> 00:36:36.230 my omelet here. It's very full of meat, which 00:36:36.230 --> 00:36:38.809 is everything I love in life. These are nice 00:36:38.809 --> 00:36:41.090 and crispy too, by the way. Very full of meat. 00:36:42.610 --> 00:36:51.710 Use a knife like a civilized person. I 100 % 00:36:51.710 --> 00:36:53.590 made the right choice to go on breakfast. I can 00:36:53.590 --> 00:36:58.570 tell. Yeah, yeah. This is actually, swings are 00:36:58.570 --> 00:37:03.949 getting better with every bite. I couldn't be 00:37:03.949 --> 00:37:07.969 happier.

And 00:37:20.789 --> 00:37:23.110 it's a great reason to hop in the car and come 00:37:23.110 --> 00:37:25.369 visit. As you can see, we just kind of scratched 00:37:25.369 --> 00:37:27.869 the surface, but they've got gorgeous boat rides 00:37:27.869 --> 00:37:30.309 you can take out on the lake and bring your own 00:37:30.309 --> 00:37:32.250 boat on the lake. Don't mess with me. We took 00:37:32.250 --> 00:37:36.369 a nice walk down the pier. That's not like a 00:37:36.369 --> 00:37:39.429 euphemism. We really did. People fishing out 00:37:39.429 --> 00:37:43.880 there just enjoying. the summer in central New 00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.360 York, and it's also bad. Watch out for Judge 00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:49.599 Ben Wiles. Yeah. It's apparently his boat. Yeah, 00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:53.800 I guess so.
