WEBVTT

00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:12.490
Hey, folks. I'm Matt Major. Welcome to Good News

00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:15.769
York on this Monday morning. We're running a

00:00:15.769 --> 00:00:17.750
skeleton crew. Me and my man, Mike, I'm making

00:00:17.750 --> 00:00:20.629
him run the board. So you will note that he's

00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:23.989
not to my left. He's actually in the control

00:00:23.989 --> 00:00:26.129
desk. Yeah. We don't really have a booth, right?

00:00:26.170 --> 00:00:29.370
We need a control booth. Yeah. I mean, we'll

00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:31.109
get there. Talking to Mike over in the booth.

00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:36.570
But what's going on, buddy? Man, I don't. I don't

00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:39.630
know where. You're really discombobulated today.

00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:41.829
Thank you for. You're really fucked up. It's

00:00:41.829 --> 00:00:43.969
kind of amusing. I know it's going to be very

00:00:43.969 --> 00:00:46.350
amusing because, as you know, at this point,

00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:49.270
the way my brain works, I am way out of my comfort

00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:51.409
zone, which is funny because this is what you

00:00:51.409 --> 00:00:54.469
do all day. I know like this is your primary

00:00:54.469 --> 00:00:56.590
job is sitting in that particular spot running

00:00:56.590 --> 00:00:58.789
shows for people. Yeah. But our show, you're

00:00:58.789 --> 00:01:02.270
just completely lost. Yeah, because I have. So

00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:05.540
it's. Now am I not only not next to you, but

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:09.859
I'm controlling the switching, see? I'm controlling

00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:11.799
the switching. I have all my notes for what we're

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:16.120
going to talk about. I've got my buzzer, my sad

00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.299
trombone. Got to have these. And my favorite,

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.799
your law and order thing that you get. Oh, I

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.719
worked on the first try today. Yeah, no, I think

00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.799
I broke it in. I think it's like one of those

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.760
things where... You need to loosen it up like

00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.079
shoes. Yeah, yeah like you you got to break it

00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:34.980
in and then it's like, okay Yeah, like yeah,

00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:37.219
that's a good call like Doc Martens. That's fair.

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:42.140
I could see that So I gotta tell you my weekend

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.799
was I don't know how well how was your weekend

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:49.319
first? It was fine. I spent it programming Okay,

00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:53.140
that sounds boring as shit. What is that? You

00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:55.780
know, it's what nerds do when we want to make

00:01:55.780 --> 00:01:58.920
computers bend to our will Oh Well, that sounds

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.780
way cooler. Yeah. I don't want to get too in

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:02.579
-depth, because I'm actually working on a project

00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:04.180
that we're going to make a big announcement for.

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.239
And it's one of those deals where, like, I want

00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:07.980
to get all the pieces right, rather than being

00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:10.400
one of these assholes who teases, something big

00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.319
coming next. You know? Phil Farta loves when

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.639
people do that, by the way. It's great. But I

00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.479
made a significant, more than expected amount

00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.439
of progress on a really important part of this.

00:02:24.870 --> 00:02:28.129
New project we're gonna launch so that was encouraging.

00:02:28.129 --> 00:02:30.310
I guess it's a great good way to spend a weekend

00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:33.009
I guess is this uh I was productive if that helps

00:02:33.009 --> 00:02:35.270
Yeah, is this something that I that we're in

00:02:35.270 --> 00:02:37.370
the loop of or is this like growth mode IT side?

00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:39.289
Literally what I gave you when I walked in this

00:02:39.289 --> 00:02:41.169
morning, buddy. Oh, yeah Yeah, that thing that

00:02:41.169 --> 00:02:43.949
I fucked up within 30 seconds. Yeah, that is

00:02:43.949 --> 00:02:47.849
exciting and I'm excited. We also have I Want

00:02:47.849 --> 00:02:50.750
to tease a little bit for our growth mode clients.

00:02:50.889 --> 00:02:54.710
We're adding some value to being a subscriber

00:02:54.710 --> 00:02:57.569
and having your podcast with us. And I'm really

00:02:57.569 --> 00:02:59.210
excited about that. I forgot we haven't even

00:02:59.210 --> 00:03:01.330
talked about that yet. No. No, we have not. If

00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:03.229
you want to, I mean, you're the boss. Go ahead.

00:03:03.629 --> 00:03:05.090
Yeah. I mean, honestly, we haven't even really

00:03:05.090 --> 00:03:06.949
talked to a lot of our clients about it. But

00:03:06.949 --> 00:03:10.129
I'm glad you brought it up, Mike, because it's

00:03:10.129 --> 00:03:12.710
something that we've been looking to do for a

00:03:12.710 --> 00:03:15.550
while, right? And for some quick background,

00:03:16.569 --> 00:03:19.090
we started this growth mode content company.

00:03:19.610 --> 00:03:22.009
now eight months ago, we're in August, I don't

00:03:22.009 --> 00:03:27.509
know how that happened. And we've been kind of

00:03:27.509 --> 00:03:30.150
laying the tracks, so to speak, for a lot of

00:03:30.150 --> 00:03:32.590
things that we've had planned from since before

00:03:32.590 --> 00:03:34.889
we launched, right? But it's one of those things,

00:03:34.949 --> 00:03:36.590
like anything else, you gotta build it first.

00:03:37.289 --> 00:03:40.449
And we've had to build literally our infrastructure

00:03:40.449 --> 00:03:43.389
here, our software, our systems, our procedures,

00:03:43.849 --> 00:03:47.599
get them really dialed in. and then begin making

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.180
content for our clients. And that again is something

00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:53.199
that we had to just sort of start doing, right?

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.159
So we're bringing them in, we're recording podcasts,

00:03:56.379 --> 00:03:58.180
we're figuring out what works and what doesn't

00:03:58.180 --> 00:04:00.479
work. And now we've got enough of that history

00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.620
to really kind of hit the ground running with

00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:05.580
some strategy. And that's the part that we are

00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:08.800
adding as kind of a new value add service. And

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.199
that will be a little bit of scripted social

00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.490
media content. For all of our clients businesses.

00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:21.089
Yeah, I love it. So To to expand on that for

00:04:21.089 --> 00:04:22.449
those of you watching or listening, you know

00:04:22.449 --> 00:04:25.250
with our clients they subscribe Once a month

00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:28.269
they come in Which might be twice a month now

00:04:28.269 --> 00:04:31.250
They get an epic full episode right and it and

00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:34.529
it it airs in its own organic place You have

00:04:34.529 --> 00:04:37.509
your own podcast people can subscribe like you

00:04:37.509 --> 00:04:39.870
would do Apple Spotify anywhere where there's

00:04:39.870 --> 00:04:43.439
podcasts But the real value comes in the social

00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.920
clips that we do have a strategy for, where we

00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.240
have a team that cuts these clips up and puts

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.740
them out on their social media throughout the

00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:54.699
month. And what I love about it is it's not like

00:04:54.699 --> 00:04:57.000
we're just cutting up clips and then putting

00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.459
them out. We're sitting there going, you know,

00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:02.100
what works on LinkedIn and Facebook might not

00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:04.100
work here on TikTok with this particular... There's

00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:06.600
a lot of thought that we do put into it. 100%.

00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.220
And now, in addition to that... We, you, have

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:13.060
come up with the idea of adding some scripted

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:14.920
stuff that we can shoot with them while they're

00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.319
here. Not only shooting their podcasts, we can

00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.779
shoot some teasers for their podcasts, maybe

00:05:19.779 --> 00:05:22.540
an intro for their show. Right. And you know,

00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.019
you've described it really well, Mike. What we've

00:05:25.019 --> 00:05:26.579
been doing, what we've been talking about, beating

00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:29.839
this drum heavily is this organic content, right?

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.160
And that is just exactly what we're doing now.

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.019
As much as we're talking about something on deck,

00:05:34.259 --> 00:05:36.279
Mike and I don't have a script. Right? We're

00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.540
just kind of off the cuff talking. Can't tell.

00:05:38.579 --> 00:05:40.500
We don't have a script. This is what our clients

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:43.600
do. They come in. They have these natural conversations,

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.040
like the ones that you have with normal people

00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.019
all day long. And that's awesome. And that has

00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.100
a ton of value. But as we're trying to grow social

00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:54.740
media, what can also have a lot of value specifically

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:58.319
there are these things designed to check the

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.040
right boxes, right? To tickle the friendlies

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.470
on the algorithm. And really get things going

00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:09.470
so that people start to get some real traction.

00:06:09.470 --> 00:06:11.889
And that's what we're going to do. So when we

00:06:11.889 --> 00:06:14.209
say scripted, it's probably not going to be the

00:06:14.209 --> 00:06:16.730
type of thing that's like every word, like a

00:06:16.730 --> 00:06:18.930
movie, and we do it in 10 takes or those sorts

00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:20.990
of things. But it's going to be the idea where

00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:25.370
we have a few things that are trending in that

00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:28.649
industry and a few things that are video styles

00:06:28.649 --> 00:06:30.730
and techniques and hooks that are working for

00:06:30.730 --> 00:06:34.230
people in our clients' industries. So that we

00:06:34.230 --> 00:06:37.209
can kind of use what works and grab some traction

00:06:37.209 --> 00:06:39.089
on some of those and then bring even more attention

00:06:39.089 --> 00:06:41.810
To the more organic that doesn't the organic

00:06:41.810 --> 00:06:44.250
doesn't necessarily always have that immediate

00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:47.990
like hook salacious, whatever It's the thing

00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:49.449
that you want to get into once you have a little

00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:51.990
bit of idea of who folks are and This will help

00:06:51.990 --> 00:06:54.730
promote all of that hundred percent and you know,

00:06:54.930 --> 00:06:58.509
you said it well now obviously and I look When

00:06:58.509 --> 00:07:00.310
you hear scripted you think okay, we're gonna

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:02.149
pull out this script and okay. Here's where I

00:07:02.149 --> 00:07:04.660
go here We're not that intense, like you mentioned.

00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:07.339
It's more of like a, kind of like a, what's his

00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:09.439
name there? Strong Outline. Yeah, well, Strong

00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.399
Outline or, what's, I can't, why am I blanking

00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.860
out on the director that works with Will Ferrell

00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:18.819
all the time, those guys? Don't know. Yeah, either

00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:21.420
way. It's more of like that, where there's a

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:23.839
script, but you kind of let them, you kind of

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.319
let it happen as it's recording. It's open to

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.959
interpretation. But, you know, Matt, one thing

00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.000
I will say, and I'll say it so that you don't

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.259
look like you're a complete egomaniac, is that

00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:41.199
you're brilliant in many ways in business and

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.779
in this lane. But what I love is that every day

00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:50.279
that I come into work, you are strategizing or

00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.399
thinking of some way where we can improve, whether

00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.699
that is technical -wise, like with our sound

00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:58.759
and video. and upgrading equipment, whether it's

00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.819
how can we add more value to our clients or,

00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.660
you know what, you know, here's our best view,

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.220
you know, here's here's our videos that are performing

00:08:06.220 --> 00:08:08.459
best. What did we do with those videos that we

00:08:08.459 --> 00:08:11.199
can do? And you don't do anything where you sell

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.860
out and you're like, we've got to do this because

00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:15.379
we need clicks. You're just trying to improve

00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:17.759
us. And I just I appreciate that. And I know

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.759
our clients do, too. Well, yeah, that's the name

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.800
of the game. And just an entrepreneurship, right?

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.259
That's if if it was simple. everybody would do

00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:28.000
it, right? There'd be a recipe, you'd make that

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.620
recipe, and you'd just let it make money for

00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:32.519
you. Unfortunately, that's not how business works.

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.440
And especially when we are in a rapidly up -and

00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:43.399
-coming industry, that yes, we are kind of leading

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.299
the way on it, but we're certainly not the only

00:08:45.299 --> 00:08:48.480
ones doing this sort of thing. And if we don't

00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.620
continue to offer value and continue to get better

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:53.740
at every step of the way, then other people are

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:55.649
gonna... eat our lunch, for lack of a better

00:08:55.649 --> 00:08:59.190
term. Yeah. That's the part that always freaks

00:08:59.190 --> 00:09:01.429
me out, is, you know, I love what we're doing

00:09:01.429 --> 00:09:03.429
here, and we take it day by day, and we're just

00:09:03.429 --> 00:09:05.769
doing what we're good at. But unfortunately,

00:09:05.850 --> 00:09:08.250
there is, and I don't want to say competition,

00:09:08.429 --> 00:09:11.490
because, you know, it's not like we're trying

00:09:11.490 --> 00:09:15.750
to beat anybody out, but in any field where you're

00:09:15.750 --> 00:09:17.649
some sort of entrepreneur, you're going to have

00:09:17.649 --> 00:09:19.750
natural competition, which, in my opinion, is

00:09:19.750 --> 00:09:22.350
a good thing in some ways, because it makes you

00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:26.289
better. But at the same time, we have to stay

00:09:26.289 --> 00:09:30.049
up on it because if someone takes this idea and

00:09:30.049 --> 00:09:33.389
does more or does better than we do, like you

00:09:33.389 --> 00:09:34.950
said, it's eating our lunch and we're missing

00:09:34.950 --> 00:09:38.110
out. So we do it with the intention to better

00:09:38.110 --> 00:09:41.370
ourselves and add more for our clients. But yeah,

00:09:41.549 --> 00:09:45.669
we have to be front runners in a lot of things.

00:09:46.149 --> 00:09:49.370
That's for sure. So hey, enough about us. OK.

00:09:50.340 --> 00:09:52.320
I think you've got a couple of topics you want

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.379
to talk about. And I got kind of a fun Monday

00:09:55.379 --> 00:09:56.940
thing that we haven't quite done here before.

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:59.860
What do you want to do first? Fun Monday thing?

00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.019
We'll save that for a minute. I've been talking

00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:03.460
a lot. What do you got, buddy? I like when you

00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:09.679
talk. All right, so what I got is I went to the

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.700
return of the blue and red. And what that means

00:10:12.700 --> 00:10:16.220
is I took my kids to... Is this a fucking football

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:19.059
thing? It is a fucking football thing. Know I'm

00:10:19.059 --> 00:10:22.120
sorry dude, but you're gonna love the video So

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.519
I took my kids I've wanted to take my kids to

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.840
Highmark Stadium where the Buffalo Bills play

00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.019
for to experience their first game It's never

00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:34.340
lined up because a of all they're too small or

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:36.360
you know it's too intense I don't say is that

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:37.500
what they're gonna. I guess you're gonna call

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:40.639
it the old stadium You know it's funny you asked

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.639
that because on on bills radio on WGR. They they

00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.399
have been posing the question to people When

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.559
you when the new stadium is built and it next

00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.539
year is the first year when when they move over

00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:53.000
to the new stadium Are you gonna call it the

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.679
Ralph because it used to be called Ralph Wilson?

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.840
Rich Stadium because it used to be called Rich

00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.159
Stadium for the old folks or just the old stadium

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.019
So the jury's out on that so I don't know or

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:06.700
care anything about this, but just just now that

00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:09.200
we're talking about it Are they gonna tear down

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.440
the old one when the new ones ready? So that's

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.559
another question. I believe They they haven't

00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.370
given an official like ruling, but yeah, it's

00:11:17.370 --> 00:11:19.809
going to be because it is right across the street.

00:11:20.129 --> 00:11:23.029
And, dude, it is fucking massive, like mass.

00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:25.830
Yeah. And it wasn't it wasn't a matter of like

00:11:25.830 --> 00:11:27.610
it was defective or anything, right? It was a

00:11:27.610 --> 00:11:29.470
matter of needing more capacity, a more modern

00:11:29.470 --> 00:11:32.590
spot. Honestly, they it was it was a matter of

00:11:32.590 --> 00:11:37.309
just the the NFL themselves in general want all

00:11:37.309 --> 00:11:40.470
stadiums to be. I see upgraded and modern. And

00:11:40.470 --> 00:11:43.389
and when if you can find an owner who has the

00:11:43.389 --> 00:11:45.879
money, which the Pekul is due. You know, it's

00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.360
a bigger deal because for a long time, there

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.419
was so many... State of New York kicked in a

00:11:50.419 --> 00:11:55.259
billion dollars, but anyway. Yeah. For a long

00:11:55.259 --> 00:11:59.179
time, they said that the bills, you know, once

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:00.899
Ralph Wilson dies, they're going to sell the

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:02.580
team, they're going to move to Toronto. And we

00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:04.919
were all terrified. And then the Pugulas came

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.559
in, who already own the Sabres, bought the bills

00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.580
and kept them in Buffalo. Building a stadium,

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:12.960
especially a billion dollar stadium like this...

00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:14.879
solidifies not only that they're going to be

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.039
here, but for a long time. And now we have a

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.700
brand new stadium. And, dude, it is wild to me.

00:12:20.820 --> 00:12:22.419
Was that really something somebody was going

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:25.200
to worry about? Oh, God. People really thought

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.320
the Buffalo Bills were going to move to Toronto.

00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:31.200
Yeah, 100 percent. And in fact, it was Donald

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.679
Trump before he ran for president. And John Bon

00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.720
Jovi were the two frontrunners. And if you can

00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.779
believe this, Donald Trump played dirty and no.

00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.990
Yeah. I know. It's crazy, right? He's such an

00:12:44.990 --> 00:12:48.529
honest guy. Just totally understands the middle

00:12:48.529 --> 00:12:52.429
class. But he went around, he hired people to

00:12:52.429 --> 00:12:55.269
go around and hand out flyers, like basically

00:12:55.269 --> 00:12:57.730
slandering Jon Bon Jovi that if he buys the team,

00:12:57.769 --> 00:12:59.929
he's going to run it in the ground. So Jon Bon

00:12:59.929 --> 00:13:03.169
Jovi lost. Jon Bon Jovi is a loser. He hasn't

00:13:03.169 --> 00:13:05.870
sold a record since 1989. That's the worst Trump

00:13:05.870 --> 00:13:08.330
impression anyone has ever done ever. That was

00:13:08.330 --> 00:13:11.769
really bad, but I still loved it. I loved it.

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.620
It's my life. It's now or never. That's what

00:13:14.620 --> 00:13:17.399
John Bon Jovi said. And anyway, so they have

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.080
the stadium. I assume they're going to knock

00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:20.899
it down, the old one, because they're going to

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:23.860
need parking. So hold on, back up a second. John

00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:26.580
Bon Jovi was interested in buying the Bill Stadium,

00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.220
and then he didn't. Mm -hmm. Has he ever tried

00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:34.620
to buy anything else? He is part owner of, I

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:36.960
think it's the Arena Football League, the Philadelphia

00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.059
somethings. Like, there's a small football league

00:13:39.059 --> 00:13:40.340
that he's in ownership of. So he bought the Utica

00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:43.980
odd? Yeah, he essentially bought something like

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:46.740
the on center. Yeah, you know the team. Okay.

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.879
I just I guess I'd never known Bon Jovi as a

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.039
sports dude. That's all no and not many people

00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.940
do and that's why they're freaked out They're

00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:57.240
like, what is he doing? But he knows he's a good

00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.159
businessman He knows what he's doing. So he was

00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.440
in the running. Anyway, fast forward they buy

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.440
the team. They keep it here now they have a stadium

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:08.399
and Dude, it'd be that is great news But here's

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.919
the thing. I wanted to ask you actually I may

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.240
have asked you this in the past So the big thing

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.659
was, if they're gonna build a new stadium, you

00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:17.960
know, the fans were like, we need a dome because

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.899
of the weather, right? Well, half of the fans

00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:23.159
were like, fuck that. I was kind of on that side.

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:24.720
I was like, no, the best part about football

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.120
are the elements and the snow games. And, you

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.539
know, others were like, why wouldn't you use

00:14:29.539 --> 00:14:31.620
the advantage of now in the January, they can

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:32.919
play in warm weather, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:34.940
That went back and forth. But I'm asking you,

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.159
as an entrepreneur and as a business owner yourself,

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:40.720
you're in Buffalo, New York, and you just...

00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:44.600
paid, New York State and the taxpayers are paying

00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:49.679
a portion, a majority portion of what it costs

00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.500
to build the new stadium. Wouldn't you want something

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:54.820
with at least a retractable roof so that you

00:14:54.820 --> 00:14:58.620
can bring in revenue during the winter and have

00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:01.840
whatever, concerts, expos, things of that nature?

00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.399
I mean, that makes a lot of sense. Definitely

00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.870
from a business standpoint. on a football standpoint,

00:15:09.870 --> 00:15:11.490
and again, I'm not even a big football guy, so

00:15:11.490 --> 00:15:14.889
this might sound funny. No, I like it. I see

00:15:14.889 --> 00:15:17.730
Buffalo synonymous with playing in the snow.

00:15:17.850 --> 00:15:21.309
I almost feel like that is one of their advantages.

00:15:22.549 --> 00:15:25.669
100%. Just like all these Northeast teams, we're

00:15:25.669 --> 00:15:27.649
happy to play in the snow. That's our home. That's

00:15:27.649 --> 00:15:29.330
where we're comfortable. Right. So you get these

00:15:29.330 --> 00:15:31.730
Southerners that, you know, and whether or not,

00:15:31.730 --> 00:15:34.070
I don't know, I guess you'd have to talk to an

00:15:34.070 --> 00:15:35.870
actual sports expert to tell you whether or not

00:15:35.870 --> 00:15:37.330
that really makes a difference when it comes

00:15:37.330 --> 00:15:40.320
to these games. Like I said, when I think of

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.820
Buffalo Bill's football, I think of bundling

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:47.899
up and freezing your ass off to watch them lose.

00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:51.440
And that is what we do. Yeah. And honestly? So

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.720
hold on a second, because I just recently saw

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:59.039
something on this new stadium. And it's my understanding

00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.279
that even though it's not a dome, it's got a

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.799
very unique design where the seats are considerably

00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.179
covered with an overhang. And it's almost designed,

00:16:08.179 --> 00:16:10.919
it looks like, at an angle to where the wind

00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.759
might help a little bit. So even though there's

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.559
a giant hole at the very top, the angles kind

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.179
of provide a little more protection at least

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:20.659
than you used to have. Does that seem right?

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:23.940
You nailed it. And that was kind of their counter.

00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.080
Is that their compromise? Exactly. That was their

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.269
compromise to play both, which was... By the

00:16:30.269 --> 00:16:31.990
way, your endorsement, I think, is better than

00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:33.870
anybody's because you don't even watch football.

00:16:33.950 --> 00:16:36.190
And for you to be like, I associate the snow.

00:16:36.330 --> 00:16:38.070
I mean, you're totally backing it up. I mean,

00:16:38.289 --> 00:16:39.870
Buffalo and anything you say. There's snow in

00:16:39.870 --> 00:16:41.730
Buffalo right now, I'm pretty sure. Absolutely.

00:16:41.870 --> 00:16:43.730
I think they're getting four inches. It's at

00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:49.789
least four inches is fine. But anyway, they so

00:16:49.789 --> 00:16:52.490
their answer was yes. So I forget the percentage.

00:16:52.649 --> 00:16:54.710
But for the sake of conversation, we'll say like

00:16:54.710 --> 00:16:59.240
60 percent of. So the overhang goes now over

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.799
the lower level. So you do get partial coverage.

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:04.140
It's almost like they gave you a moon roof, you

00:17:04.140 --> 00:17:08.160
know? Yes. No, that's a great, great comp. And

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.740
so now there's also there's heating on top of

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:15.319
the roof so that the snow melts on the field

00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.220
is heated so that it'll melt there. I mean, so

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:21.000
there's a lot of just, I mean, look, you're getting

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.759
a billion dollar stadium. So there better be.

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.279
I'll be honest, though. And again, I haven't

00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.349
put much thought into this. All other than right

00:17:27.349 --> 00:17:30.990
now But you said something that just blanked

00:17:30.990 --> 00:17:33.150
my you said, you know, why didn't they put a

00:17:33.150 --> 00:17:36.789
retractable roof? Mm -hmm Why the fuck didn't

00:17:36.789 --> 00:17:39.269
they put a retractable? That's why I mean look

00:17:39.269 --> 00:17:41.549
I mean the easy answer is more money, but at

00:17:41.549 --> 00:17:44.549
this point what I mean, here's the thing How

00:17:44.549 --> 00:17:47.569
much fucking money can something cost right like

00:17:47.569 --> 00:17:51.470
seriously? You're you're going to tell me that

00:17:51.470 --> 00:17:55.920
it really takes And I get it, it's a big steel

00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:00.319
thing. But we've built big steel things many

00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.640
times in the past, and I know inflation or whatever.

00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:05.500
But I feel like if you took the amount of money

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:08.200
you spent on the Bill Stadium whenever the old

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.000
one was built and adjusted it for inflation,

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:13.799
we'd still be nowhere near the cost of today's

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.119
stadium. Maybe I'm wrong. Fair, that's fair.

00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.819
Again, this is, in my head I could be a fucking

00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:24.589
idiot, completely wrong. Nobody understands how

00:18:24.589 --> 00:18:27.950
much money a billion dollars is. If you got a

00:18:27.950 --> 00:18:32.369
dollar every day, from now to the beginning of

00:18:32.369 --> 00:18:35.009
the fucking human history, you wouldn't have

00:18:35.009 --> 00:18:37.869
a billion dollars. Yeah, people say all the time

00:18:37.869 --> 00:18:42.329
when people argue online about the national debt,

00:18:43.609 --> 00:18:46.829
or whatever, Doge was saving something, a trillion,

00:18:46.970 --> 00:18:48.750
but they only saved a billion, and people don't

00:18:48.750 --> 00:18:52.759
realize the space between you know, billion and

00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.559
trillion and million and billion. People don't

00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:58.440
understand scale. But still, like, I'm shocked

00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.799
to find out that you could spend above a billion

00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:06.200
dollars, and that doesn't get you a fucking roof,

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.740
like, is in my... Yeah. ...audi. I know. Like,

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:13.900
this is not a difficult concept. I agree. And

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:15.799
then you're right, because then you could use

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.519
it, because now what do they do? It literally

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.480
just goes completely unused in the winter months,

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:23.660
right? Other than football? Right. I mean, because

00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:26.420
that was my thing, more than the elements, because

00:19:26.420 --> 00:19:28.380
I was like, OK, a retractable roof, everybody

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:30.160
wins because you leave it open all season for

00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.000
the games. But now you can have, you know, anything.

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.920
Yeah, I'm thinking about the dome here at Syracuse.

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:40.839
Yep, it's there for football. Also championship

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.019
basketball and events and movies and massive,

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.859
massive concerts and all these things in the

00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:50.039
time of year where it would otherwise be covered

00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.680
in snow. And that's the and that's my only question.

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:54.880
I have no complaints. I love that it's there's

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.900
no roof. I think it's great, but I'm just looking

00:19:56.900 --> 00:19:59.599
at it. Let me ask you this from a football standpoint.

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.640
If they had a retractable roof, would other teams

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.079
be able to demand it was closed during games?

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:11.579
No, I believe that that's just up to the team.

00:20:11.619 --> 00:20:12.980
I didn't know if maybe that was the thing where

00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:15.410
like. If we had, we wouldn't get that advantage

00:20:15.410 --> 00:20:17.049
because they would force us to close the roof

00:20:17.049 --> 00:20:19.309
all the time sort of thing. No, I think I, I

00:20:19.309 --> 00:20:21.609
mean, I would, I can't confirm that this is how

00:20:21.609 --> 00:20:25.589
it goes, but I'm fairly a hundred percent sure

00:20:25.589 --> 00:20:27.769
it's up to the team and the ownership. Okay.

00:20:27.769 --> 00:20:29.589
You don't just waltz in and go, we'd like that

00:20:29.589 --> 00:20:30.970
closed. Well, I just didn't know, you know, if

00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:33.089
you, if you claim that's like an unfair advantage.

00:20:33.589 --> 00:20:35.710
Right. You know? Yeah. I always thought the same

00:20:35.710 --> 00:20:38.750
thing in like baseball, how like some, some stadiums

00:20:38.750 --> 00:20:41.430
like right field in Yankee stadium is I forget

00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:44.049
the yard, the, the, the the measurement. But

00:20:44.049 --> 00:20:46.369
I mean, it's a short right field where in other

00:20:46.369 --> 00:20:49.230
parks, you know, a home run or room. Yeah. And

00:20:49.230 --> 00:20:51.210
a home run in Yankee Stadium would be a pop out.

00:20:51.230 --> 00:20:53.269
And I just I always wondered, I'm not saying

00:20:53.269 --> 00:20:55.509
I like or dislike, but I just always thought,

00:20:55.789 --> 00:20:58.329
why wouldn't they make it the same? I love it

00:20:58.329 --> 00:21:00.250
that every park is different. But at the same

00:21:00.250 --> 00:21:02.210
time, from a, you know, advantage standpoint,

00:21:02.490 --> 00:21:04.329
I just thought maybe it should. So we're effectively

00:21:04.329 --> 00:21:07.269
spending billions of dollars on one sport. Yeah.

00:21:07.650 --> 00:21:11.380
But anyway, my all all of that to say. Mike's

00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:13.119
like, I'm okay with it, because I love that sport.

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:17.680
Yes. I took my kids to the return of the blue

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:19.779
and red. And what that is, is so... It's a long

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:22.420
way to get back. I know, I know. All season long,

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:25.220
or not all season long, in the beginning of,

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.299
or end of July, beginning of August, training

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:30.460
camp starts. And that is where the teams finally

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:33.420
come together. They start training. Every team,

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.150
most every team, doesn't train. for training

00:21:37.150 --> 00:21:40.130
camp at the stadium or in their city. They go

00:21:40.130 --> 00:21:41.690
somewhere. I remember when I lived in Tampa,

00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:44.150
there was multiple teams. It was real common

00:21:44.150 --> 00:21:46.089
to go see them practice down there. One hundred

00:21:46.089 --> 00:21:48.410
percent. And that was for different reasons.

00:21:48.910 --> 00:21:51.349
But the biggest reason is they want to just be

00:21:51.349 --> 00:21:54.930
able to get these players away from home and,

00:21:54.930 --> 00:21:57.210
you know, and being together. And they stay in

00:21:57.210 --> 00:22:00.049
dorms and you build chemistry. But the bill started

00:22:00.049 --> 00:22:03.170
about five years ago where they pick in the middle

00:22:03.170 --> 00:22:05.450
is like a two weeks for training camp. And at

00:22:05.450 --> 00:22:08.029
the end of the first week, they bring everybody

00:22:08.029 --> 00:22:13.009
back to the stadium. And they do a live practice

00:22:13.009 --> 00:22:15.630
where you can get free tickets. And it's first

00:22:15.630 --> 00:22:17.789
come first serve. And you watch them practice.

00:22:17.869 --> 00:22:19.869
And then they do a little scrimmage. But the

00:22:19.869 --> 00:22:22.670
best part is you're allowed to bring in stuff

00:22:22.670 --> 00:22:26.150
for autographs. You know, the players come to

00:22:26.150 --> 00:22:28.769
the side. Josh Allen plays catch with the kids.

00:22:29.710 --> 00:22:31.630
They sign footballs. Weren't there like 30 ,000

00:22:31.630 --> 00:22:33.390
people there or something? That's about right.

00:22:33.670 --> 00:22:35.670
Actually, they set a record for 40 ,000 this

00:22:35.670 --> 00:22:38.910
year. So the stadium holds like seventy ones

00:22:38.910 --> 00:22:41.210
for practice, dude. That's how insane Bill's

00:22:41.210 --> 00:22:43.890
Mafia is. So I wanted to bring my kids to their

00:22:43.890 --> 00:22:45.710
first game, but I thought, man, it's a little

00:22:45.710 --> 00:22:47.730
intense. The team was good. What are you talking

00:22:47.730 --> 00:22:54.509
about? I'll kill you. So so I decided I want

00:22:54.509 --> 00:22:56.720
to bring my kids. I want them. Now they're finally

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.119
at that age. But more importantly, I want to

00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.220
take them to their first game. But man, a game

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:03.420
is pretty intense. I'll take them to a preseason

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:06.519
game. So coming up this Saturday, I got us tickets

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.660
to a preseason game, which is fairly cheap. It's

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:12.220
six rows up. Great. But then when the return

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:14.039
of the blue and red popped up in my email, I

00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.539
went, oh, this might be a good way for me to

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:19.279
take the kids. They can go to the stadium because

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:21.500
they're all nervous, break them in. And then

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:23.480
when we go to the game next week, they'll be

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.509
like, oh, this is great. This is cake. So we

00:23:26.509 --> 00:23:28.829
went, dude, and I have a video. People are asking

00:23:28.829 --> 00:23:31.990
me, like, so I still have to post all of the

00:23:31.990 --> 00:23:33.849
pictures and video. So you went out to Buffalo

00:23:33.849 --> 00:23:36.069
this past weekend. I took my kids, just me and

00:23:36.069 --> 00:23:37.670
my two kids. And you're going again next weekend.

00:23:37.690 --> 00:23:39.250
And I'm going again next weekend. My wife's coming

00:23:39.250 --> 00:23:42.670
next weekend. Okay. But so everyone's like, how

00:23:42.670 --> 00:23:44.450
did it go? I'm like, I have a million videos

00:23:44.450 --> 00:23:47.509
and pictures, but I feel like this video, this

00:23:47.509 --> 00:23:51.150
nine -second clip will sum up exactly how the

00:23:51.150 --> 00:24:01.839
day went. Josh Allen really gets you like that.

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:06.160
Yes. Yes a hundred percent That that is that's

00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:10.799
the video that is the video I I could not believe

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.579
we were that close to because it's first come

00:24:12.579 --> 00:24:15.380
first serve that you don't pay for tickets, right?

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.960
So did so I so as soon as the gate opened we

00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.960
darted down and we got second row like 30 yard

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.099
line and I was that close to Alan and my god.

00:24:25.099 --> 00:24:28.269
Well, it was amazing Anyway, so that was the

00:24:28.269 --> 00:24:33.450
majority of my weekend. Did we really just go

00:24:33.450 --> 00:24:35.150
through that whole setup to see that three seconds?

00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:37.430
Yeah. Awesome. Well, I mean, I was more about

00:24:37.430 --> 00:24:38.630
talking about, you know, the weekend in general.

00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:40.490
I'm just fucking with you. But it was great.

00:24:40.630 --> 00:24:43.750
And I love the Bills. I'm excited. And I'll be

00:24:43.750 --> 00:24:46.210
going to the preseason game next week as well.

00:24:47.549 --> 00:24:50.630
I wanted to talk about this one story, dude,

00:24:50.690 --> 00:24:54.299
because this fucking blows my mind. Did you hear

00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:56.660
about high noon recalling the vodka seltzers?

00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.440
Yeah, they sell so what is all this story is

00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.539
wild dude, dude As somebody who quit drinking

00:25:04.539 --> 00:25:08.140
October 1st, 2020 was my last drink So I am at

00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:10.980
this point about five years sober almost if I

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:14.660
broke my goddamn sobriety over a Celsius unintentionally

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:16.779
unintentionally I'd be a millionaire because

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:19.819
I would sue their ass. Yeah What are your thoughts

00:25:19.819 --> 00:25:22.319
as a business? Like how do you fuck this up?

00:25:22.349 --> 00:25:27.329
Oh, you're, I mean, this is bad. This is real

00:25:27.329 --> 00:25:30.329
bad. So for those who don't know, High Noon,

00:25:30.329 --> 00:25:35.630
which makes a canned vodka drink. And as you

00:25:35.630 --> 00:25:37.210
know, all these beverage companies, they're all

00:25:37.210 --> 00:25:38.630
the same thing. They all crank out a million

00:25:38.630 --> 00:25:42.170
different drinks. The same facility makes the

00:25:42.170 --> 00:25:46.950
Celsius energy drink, right? Correct. Which is

00:25:46.950 --> 00:25:49.410
not alcoholic. No, it's an energy drink. It's

00:25:49.410 --> 00:25:52.410
actually great. I love it. Same size can. Same

00:25:52.410 --> 00:25:54.910
shape same everything is you know canned drinks

00:25:54.910 --> 00:25:58.930
are at the factory somebody put the the high

00:25:58.930 --> 00:26:01.910
noon's in the Celsius cans or I guess you could

00:26:01.910 --> 00:26:04.549
say maybe they labeled the high noon with the

00:26:04.549 --> 00:26:07.029
Celsius label whichever way you want to do it

00:26:07.029 --> 00:26:09.529
however they put the booze in the can that said

00:26:09.529 --> 00:26:16.789
no booze and To me It's just like finding a golden

00:26:16.789 --> 00:26:19.230
ticket. I mean right and here's the thing they

00:26:19.230 --> 00:26:22.529
didn't just do this and then do a run of them,

00:26:22.589 --> 00:26:24.450
and then they get done, and the guy went, oh,

00:26:24.450 --> 00:26:28.829
shit, guys. No. These came off the assembly line

00:26:28.829 --> 00:26:32.130
and were sent all across the country. Yes. They

00:26:32.130 --> 00:26:34.569
were distributed from, usually the shit's regional,

00:26:34.710 --> 00:26:36.670
right? Like, oh, this happened at this one facility

00:26:36.670 --> 00:26:40.950
in Texas, and the cases made it to two states.

00:26:41.349 --> 00:26:46.410
No. Literally across the country. And again,

00:26:46.410 --> 00:26:50.190
if you drink a Celsius and get hammered, That's

00:26:50.190 --> 00:26:52.490
like a golden look if I now own the high noon

00:26:52.490 --> 00:26:54.730
company, you know five years ago I would have

00:26:54.730 --> 00:26:57.009
been like you I would have said fuck. Yeah, it's

00:26:57.009 --> 00:27:00.109
the golden ticket, baby But as someone who quit

00:27:00.109 --> 00:27:02.990
drinking I realize now like holy shit Well, here's

00:27:02.990 --> 00:27:05.630
the thing that of course I'm not in that boat.

00:27:05.630 --> 00:27:07.650
So that thought wasn't the first one that crossed

00:27:07.650 --> 00:27:09.829
my mind You'll never give a look at the wine

00:27:09.829 --> 00:27:13.130
slushies. You'll never As I looked at the comments

00:27:13.130 --> 00:27:14.450
that was everybody said and I was like I said

00:27:14.450 --> 00:27:16.049
I didn't even think about that but holy fuck

00:27:16.049 --> 00:27:20.720
You know, yeah, man. I mean Can I ask you this?

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:23.539
And I don't, again, we're talking about a lot

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:25.099
of things I don't know anything about, so this

00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:31.160
is a true podcast. Women. Having stopped alcohol,

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:38.740
if you were to accidentally consume it, is that

00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:40.579
the same as you kind of falling off the wagon

00:27:40.579 --> 00:27:43.240
and you've decided to have a drink? You know,

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.440
look. Like if you were to just found yourself

00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:49.119
intoxicated, Would that kick it off and go, oh,

00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.380
shit, I'm going to have 10 more? Or would you

00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:52.559
go, I think there's something wrong with me?

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:55.380
I have to be very careful, because everybody

00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:58.579
is different who has had an alcohol problem,

00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:00.059
or has an alcohol problem, or is an alcoholic.

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:02.759
And how they got out of it. Yeah, so I cannot

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:06.019
speak for everybody else. I know some people

00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:08.500
who, if they had one sip, forget it. Now they're

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:10.240
going to rip into all 12. You just break the

00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:16.619
seal. I don't think that's me. I think... It

00:28:16.619 --> 00:28:19.259
would hit me and I would immediately feel it

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:21.900
and remember everything that comes along with

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:26.039
it and love it but I'd like to believe that I

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.740
Have that little switch to go. Whoa, you know

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:31.660
put that shit down. You don't want to go down

00:28:31.660 --> 00:28:34.259
this road again Yeah, but but that's the thing

00:28:34.259 --> 00:28:36.859
is You don't want to put yourself in that position

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:39.119
to even wonder about it and that and and they

00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:41.009
did that I mean, this is a big fuck -up Now,

00:28:41.289 --> 00:28:44.089
here's also the thing. I've drank high noons.

00:28:44.309 --> 00:28:46.589
I have not drank Celsius. And I think this was

00:28:46.589 --> 00:28:48.869
a particular flavor or whatever Celsius, too.

00:28:49.970 --> 00:28:52.430
I have it here. How quickly might somebody notice?

00:28:53.089 --> 00:28:55.869
Oh, you would notice first sip. You would notice

00:28:55.869 --> 00:28:58.910
first sip. So with that in mind, the reality

00:28:58.910 --> 00:29:02.130
is it's going to be kind of hard for people to

00:29:02.130 --> 00:29:05.990
really. And I feel like when the lawsuits inevitably

00:29:05.990 --> 00:29:08.529
come, that'll be the first defense of any lawyer

00:29:08.529 --> 00:29:10.950
who goes, Well, you clearly knew this wasn't

00:29:10.950 --> 00:29:14.150
the drink you purchased. Yeah. Yes. Someone wrote...

00:29:14.150 --> 00:29:16.170
You proceeded to drink 10 of them. You know,

00:29:16.210 --> 00:29:19.269
like... That's true. That's actually a good point.

00:29:19.809 --> 00:29:22.190
Like, because I heard, like, DWI lawyers are,

00:29:22.190 --> 00:29:23.630
like, foaming at the mobsters. They're like,

00:29:23.769 --> 00:29:25.490
now we can use this as a defense. But you make

00:29:25.490 --> 00:29:28.150
a good point, which is, okay, you took a sip,

00:29:28.269 --> 00:29:32.049
you realized it was, you know, it was alcohol.

00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:34.119
You didn't have to keep drinking. But then again,

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:35.799
like I said, there are some people who are that

00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:37.779
severe. If they have one sip, they can't stop.

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:40.559
I also want to take that with a grain of salt,

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:43.440
like I said, because I've never had that flavor

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:47.079
of Celsius. And I know it's like a light, one

00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:50.440
of those borderline water drinks, right? Isn't

00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:53.940
that the idea? It's not like a soda, which is

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:56.160
the same. High noon is the same type of deal.

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:59.960
It is. So I don't know. I don't. If you've never

00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:03.609
had one of those Celsiuses. and wouldn't know

00:30:03.609 --> 00:30:06.890
what to compare, I could see that could be it.

00:30:06.890 --> 00:30:08.869
Especially if you're a kid who then buys the

00:30:08.869 --> 00:30:11.250
fucking thing from the convenience store. That's

00:30:11.250 --> 00:30:13.390
a great point, too. See, that's what I mean.

00:30:14.430 --> 00:30:16.769
Those kind of drinks, too, it is... What an awesome

00:30:16.769 --> 00:30:21.210
way home. You get out of school, you stop at

00:30:21.210 --> 00:30:23.369
Gill's, and you grab a drink out of the cooler,

00:30:23.710 --> 00:30:28.369
and you're on the way about three blocks down

00:30:28.369 --> 00:30:32.450
the road going... Never felt so good. Yeah, this

00:30:32.450 --> 00:30:34.809
is the best day ever. I don't give a shit about

00:30:34.809 --> 00:30:39.009
school Wow Yeah, dude, it's but those drinks

00:30:39.009 --> 00:30:41.410
too. It's it's not like when you when you when

00:30:41.410 --> 00:30:44.859
you pour alcohol into it like You can bury that

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:47.220
alcohol taste fairly well, so you're right. You

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:49.240
know, some people might drink it and not know.

00:30:49.299 --> 00:30:50.759
I think you might have... I don't know if you've

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:52.339
ever had a high noon. I feel like you might have

00:30:52.339 --> 00:30:55.319
quit before they came to style. I had one, right?

00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:57.759
Right before I quit, I tried one, and it was

00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:01.619
godawful in my opinion. So it depends on which

00:31:01.619 --> 00:31:04.220
flavor you get, but they are, again, one of those

00:31:04.220 --> 00:31:07.619
things that's not very strong -flavored no matter

00:31:07.619 --> 00:31:12.240
what. So it's almost... even if you're not...

00:31:12.699 --> 00:31:14.900
It's something you can just pour down, because

00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:16.460
it's not strong of anything. You know what's

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:19.079
crazy, though? It's not as big of a story as

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:21.119
it would have been 10 or 15 years ago, because

00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.500
people are not drinking like they used to, which

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:26.259
is wild to me. It's weird. I mean, it's great.

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.220
We've talked about this before. Yeah. It's good

00:31:29.220 --> 00:31:31.819
in general. At the same time, it makes me worry

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:35.799
about society a bit. Yeah, for sure. It's...

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:39.359
It's great health wise and that, but as a society

00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.460
and as for the bar industry, the restaurant industry,

00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:44.759
it's, you know, I think I think it's just the

00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:46.920
pandemic kind of made everyone realize, wow,

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.680
I'm a fat fucking alcoholic and I need to quit.

00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:52.819
And I think that was a big part of it might have

00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:58.000
been. But anyway, what else do you think? Let

00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:00.539
me ask you this. So see, we're getting on random

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:05.890
topics. Let's do it. In. The past decade maybe

00:32:05.890 --> 00:32:09.190
a little bit more the government really especially

00:32:09.190 --> 00:32:10.630
in New York I can't speak to other states But

00:32:10.630 --> 00:32:12.490
I think similar in other states the government

00:32:12.490 --> 00:32:15.930
really got excited about the idea of craft breweries

00:32:15.930 --> 00:32:19.589
And they put together all kinds of money and

00:32:19.589 --> 00:32:22.450
we saw all kinds of these places pop up all over

00:32:22.450 --> 00:32:27.309
the place Most of which have not survived But

00:32:27.309 --> 00:32:32.359
I got a wonder like Did Did the government embracing

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:34.660
alcohol make it so cool that it's not fun anymore?

00:32:35.059 --> 00:32:37.859
You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, it's funny

00:32:37.859 --> 00:32:41.220
because growing up... It was always this bad

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:44.160
and now it's like, we can't wait to celebrate

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.819
the opening of this new bar. Except we don't

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:50.440
call it a bar anymore. It's a craft brewery.

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.339
And you can bring a frisbee and your dog. Newsflash,

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:56.700
it's a fucking bar. They literally make the shit

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:59.059
right there. Some breweries, it's been in the

00:32:59.059 --> 00:33:01.099
news lately, some breweries are now banning children,

00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:04.000
and that's a big controversy. Not enough. You

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.680
agree with it? I also strongly believe that that

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.119
has killed the bar industry, or at least the

00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:12.640
craft. So here's what we did, right? We replaced

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:17.079
regular hole -in -the -wall bars with upscale

00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:19.660
craft breweries where a single beer cost as much

00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:22.299
as a 12 -pack used to cost. And then we said,

00:33:22.339 --> 00:33:24.220
hey, by the way, bring your fucking little kids

00:33:24.220 --> 00:33:30.180
here. So people did. And now, legitimate alcoholics,

00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:33.380
which I'm sorry, were the bread and butter of

00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:36.119
the neighborhood bar, won't step foot in that

00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:38.640
place. Because the cost of two drinks is as much

00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:40.460
as they spent drinking for a whole week back

00:33:40.460 --> 00:33:43.099
in the day. I bartended for over 10 years. They

00:33:43.099 --> 00:33:45.839
want to go, they want to put some blues on the

00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:48.339
jukebox, shoot some whiskey, maybe play pool,

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.259
and not have to... They're there to get away

00:33:51.259 --> 00:33:55.190
from kids and loud noises. You ever see some

00:33:55.190 --> 00:33:57.589
of those guys, remember back in the day in some

00:33:57.589 --> 00:34:01.349
of the valley bars, maybe like Pete's or Crossways,

00:34:02.069 --> 00:34:06.369
there was always a couple of dudes that were

00:34:06.369 --> 00:34:09.929
sitting there at the bar staring at their beer,

00:34:10.449 --> 00:34:13.489
can of beer, cheapest one they had at the bar,

00:34:13.750 --> 00:34:17.150
$1 .50 cans, whatever the fuck. If you were to

00:34:17.150 --> 00:34:20.079
say hello, they would look at you like they wanted

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.659
to rip your fucking head off. All they wanted

00:34:22.659 --> 00:34:25.019
to do, even though they wanted to do it in public,

00:34:26.059 --> 00:34:28.960
was sit there and be left alone and just drink

00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.159
until closing time. You could not be more correct,

00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:34.199
my friend. I worked at the greatest dive bar

00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.480
in the world. It is still there, and I will stand

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.360
by this. It is called the Creaker, formerly the

00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:42.880
Fall Creek House. It is a neighborhood bar in

00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.389
Ithaca, in the middle of a neighborhood. It is

00:34:45.389 --> 00:34:48.110
the most, some of the craziest, most amazing

00:34:48.110 --> 00:34:50.710
nights of my life were spent there. Five years

00:34:50.710 --> 00:34:53.010
I bartended there, but I also frequented it there.

00:34:53.469 --> 00:34:55.269
You walk in, it's a place that you'd be like,

00:34:55.369 --> 00:34:58.849
this is shady as fuck, but it's not. And here's

00:34:58.849 --> 00:35:01.710
what was great about it. On any given day, you

00:35:01.710 --> 00:35:04.150
could walk in and there would be Cornell grad

00:35:04.150 --> 00:35:07.630
students sitting next to old veterans who are

00:35:07.630 --> 00:35:10.090
alcoholics and their livers hanging out of their

00:35:10.090 --> 00:35:13.139
belly button. and then you're sitting there,

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:15.260
and all of a sudden, someone, like, pulls in

00:35:15.260 --> 00:35:17.739
on a bike and skids out and hits the wall. Like,

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:21.039
there are no rules there other than just don't

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:23.420
be rude to the bartender or the owner. I mean,

00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.179
it was just amazing. And that is exactly what

00:35:27.179 --> 00:35:28.539
it would be. I remember when I first started

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:29.960
working there, I'd come in there with my spiked

00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:31.440
hair, and there'd be old guys sitting there putting

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.079
salt in their beer, and they'd look at me like,

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:35.400
who's this fucking freak? You know, and I'd win

00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:38.960
them over, eventually. Not all, but most. And

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:42.860
it... I miss that. We need it. Yeah. We need

00:35:42.860 --> 00:35:45.639
it. Well, now those guys who are buying $1 .50

00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.280
cans have to spend $14 .95 for a sip of craft

00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.179
beer. Yeah. Yeah. And all IPAs. And then they're

00:35:53.179 --> 00:35:56.400
like, hey, how come nobody drinks anymore? Yeah.

00:35:56.820 --> 00:35:58.940
Can't imagine why. Yeah. And like, did you ever

00:35:58.940 --> 00:36:02.679
notice? Also, you can get a DWI if you look at

00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:05.360
the 12 -pack from three aisles away at Wegmans.

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:09.179
You know what else? I used to talk about this

00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:12.019
in one of my stand -up bits. I need to breathalyze

00:36:12.019 --> 00:36:16.139
you. Which was, like, the names of beers now

00:36:16.139 --> 00:36:18.639
are fucking ridiculous. Like, I did a stand -up

00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:23.000
show at a brewery, a craft brewery. I was there.

00:36:23.900 --> 00:36:25.619
Yeah, that was one of them I did. Yes, you were

00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:27.019
there at one of them. But this is a different

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:29.719
one. And the name of the beer was, there were

00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.679
1 ,000 tiny Michael Jacksons, which, okay, do

00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:34.980
you know what Michael Jackson did? Do you really

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:37.079
want to drink that? And then, but they would

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.380
always have these names like, can I get a pint

00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:42.840
of the, let me get a pint of the stagnant piss,

00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.860
please. You know what I mean? Like, the names

00:36:46.860 --> 00:36:50.059
are just way too, like whatever happened to just,

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:54.159
you know, hazy IPA or. Listen man, if you're

00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.280
gonna name shit weird, be a pothead. Strains

00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:58.920
of weed are made for bizarre names. If you're

00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.320
gonna drink beer, you just need to drink beer.

00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:03.800
Yeah, isn't it? Isn't it funny, too, how when

00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:06.159
we grew up, it was like if you got caught drinking

00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:09.360
underage, it was, oh, boys will be boys. But

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.820
if you got caught with one marijuana cigarette,

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:14.360
a joint, you need to stop hanging out with your

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.380
friends. You need to go to drug counseling. You're

00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:19.119
going to be a loser. And we found out now. Fast

00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:23.320
forward 2025. It is the exact opposite. Mistake

00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:26.079
one thousand three hundred and seventy four caused

00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:29.500
by boomers. You know it. We know it you can basically

00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:31.900
say hey remember when our boomer parents made

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:36.760
us do X and There you there's everything Don't

00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.159
just remember turning turning on the interior

00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:41.440
light in a car was like what are you doing turn

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:43.920
it off? We're gonna die. I'm gonna get arrested.

00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.360
Yeah, we're gonna get arrested Don't sit too

00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:48.800
close to the television. You'll go blind. Yep

00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:52.760
I didn't go blind. I went blind from doing something.

00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:56.559
It's something else All right. Anyway real quick

00:37:56.670 --> 00:38:00.510
Coming up this week. I wanted to tell you We

00:38:00.510 --> 00:38:05.849
have one guest coming on Wednesday Chad 45 minutes

00:38:05.849 --> 00:38:08.289
in and you're gonna do the deep teas now. Yeah

00:38:08.289 --> 00:38:11.869
He's coming in. He did an amazing thing. He owns

00:38:11.869 --> 00:38:14.570
an HVAC company and he really took care of a

00:38:14.570 --> 00:38:17.590
community center I can't wait for that and also

00:38:17.590 --> 00:38:21.099
Possibly we got Vinny P coming in Who is the

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:23.800
guy? Vinny P. Remember the guy from the Metallica?

00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.480
Nope. Let me show you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:26.539 --> 00:38:29.820
Let me show you. Well, here's Chad. That's the

00:38:29.820 --> 00:38:31.900
HVAC guy. My man. Yeah, he's coming in Wednesday.

00:38:31.900 --> 00:38:33.900
Good buddy of mine. He's from Syracuse. He did

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:35.780
an amazing thing for that woman in the community

00:38:35.780 --> 00:38:38.940
center. We're going to talk about that. But we're

00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:43.440
also going to... Where did it go? There it is.

00:38:43.710 --> 00:38:46.269
Remember this? Oh, yeah, Metallica kid dude.

00:38:46.429 --> 00:38:48.590
So the photographer that posted this looking

00:38:48.590 --> 00:38:50.769
for the kid, if you were if you didn't hear or

00:38:50.769 --> 00:38:53.210
see the show, this kid basically got a picture

00:38:53.210 --> 00:38:55.510
with Metallica because the gentleman who made

00:38:55.510 --> 00:38:57.650
this original post is the actual original photographer.

00:38:57.829 --> 00:38:59.010
I didn't realize that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The

00:38:59.010 --> 00:39:01.710
guy that made the post looking for that kid is

00:39:01.710 --> 00:39:05.849
the original Glees here on the Facebook. So long,

00:39:06.050 --> 00:39:10.630
long story short, Metallica was at a hockey game

00:39:10.630 --> 00:39:13.269
and. This photographer was there taking pictures

00:39:13.269 --> 00:39:14.849
for the hockey game and he saw Mattel. Better

00:39:14.849 --> 00:39:16.550
yet, just go watch the clip. We already talked

00:39:16.550 --> 00:39:18.570
about it. Okay, fine. We follow up on this show.

00:39:18.789 --> 00:39:22.789
Okay, watch the clip. But anyway, my point is

00:39:22.789 --> 00:39:26.869
the fucking guy, the photographer saw our clip

00:39:26.869 --> 00:39:29.309
and contacted me through LinkedIn and said, dude,

00:39:29.329 --> 00:39:31.710
thank you so much. And I said, listen, why don't

00:39:31.710 --> 00:39:33.250
you come on the show? And he said, I'd love to.

00:39:33.289 --> 00:39:35.409
So we're going to have him on this week as well.

00:39:36.769 --> 00:39:39.130
I love when Mike's going and I just throw a wrench

00:39:39.130 --> 00:39:41.400
in it and he gets all... Extra flustered and

00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:43.659
it's just funny. I don't get I didn't get your

00:39:43.659 --> 00:39:46.260
mother fuck. Um, it's like that time I told you

00:39:46.260 --> 00:39:49.800
to stop interviewing the monster guy What when

00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:52.420
what was that you remember? It's a gay rock about

00:39:52.420 --> 00:39:54.920
it. Well, yeah mid interview. You're like, alright,

00:39:55.099 --> 00:39:58.059
that's enough But I okay well to be fair you're

00:39:58.059 --> 00:40:00.019
going on to way more than I had ever planned

00:40:00.019 --> 00:40:02.329
me I just wanted to hear what was on the cans.

00:40:02.389 --> 00:40:04.329
And you're like, so, bro, tell me about your

00:40:04.329 --> 00:40:06.230
life story. And he's like, well, when I was a

00:40:06.230 --> 00:40:08.889
boy, I'm like, nobody cares. It all started in

00:40:08.889 --> 00:40:11.789
1982. I didn't even feel like standing there

00:40:11.789 --> 00:40:13.389
to let him finish his sentence. That's how bored

00:40:13.389 --> 00:40:14.949
I was. I know. I mean, nobody going to watch

00:40:14.949 --> 00:40:18.329
that video. I know. Yeah. You got anything else?

00:40:18.710 --> 00:40:21.789
Yeah, real quick. OK, cool. This is pretty cool.

00:40:22.230 --> 00:40:26.329
They're doing a, where is it here? What is it?

00:40:26.750 --> 00:40:29.170
It's here somewhere. It's here somewhere. They're

00:40:29.170 --> 00:40:34.449
doing a movie in the park. I didn't pull it up.

00:40:34.650 --> 00:40:37.909
Where the hell is it? Oh, it's in the printer.

00:40:38.070 --> 00:40:40.349
I never went and got it from the printer. But

00:40:40.349 --> 00:40:42.510
basically, somewhere in Syracuse, because I don't

00:40:42.510 --> 00:40:44.530
have the story in front of me, they're showing

00:40:44.530 --> 00:40:47.570
Rookie of the Year at the Mets Stadium. That's

00:40:47.570 --> 00:40:51.650
what it is. So Syracuse Mets, we love them. We've

00:40:51.650 --> 00:40:53.730
been there. We shot an episode there. They're

00:40:53.730 --> 00:40:55.130
going to be showing Rookie of the Year, which

00:40:55.130 --> 00:40:57.980
is one of my favorite... Baseball movies of all

00:40:57.980 --> 00:41:00.679
time as a kid coming up in the next few weeks

00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:02.199
They're gonna be showing a movie there and that

00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:03.659
got me thinking like that one of those deals

00:41:03.659 --> 00:41:05.360
where it's like after the game So you come watch

00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:07.380
the game and then yeah the movie. Yeah, that's

00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:09.260
pretty cool. And I was just like sitting there

00:41:09.260 --> 00:41:13.639
thinking like What what would be your ideal plate?

00:41:13.659 --> 00:41:15.900
Like what movie would it be and where would you

00:41:15.900 --> 00:41:17.940
want to watch it? like for example like a bad

00:41:17.940 --> 00:41:21.800
a bad one would be like watching Titanic on a

00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:23.980
cruise ship or like okay standing in the middle

00:41:23.980 --> 00:41:27.420
of a fire and watching backdraft or Flying somewhere

00:41:27.420 --> 00:41:29.460
and you're watching snakes on a plane, but like

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:31.679
that was the one I was gonna Yeah, or maybe you

00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:33.940
go to Dallas and you're like, let's watch Debbie

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:36.639
does Dallas I have had it with these motherfucking

00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:39.699
snakes on this motherfucking plane Yeah, so I

00:41:39.699 --> 00:41:42.639
don't know like maybe maybe you could watch Shawshank

00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:44.920
in that prison where they shot it because that's

00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:48.260
actually you can go there and they do tours Or

00:41:48.260 --> 00:41:49.619
maybe I don't know maybe you want to watch a

00:41:49.619 --> 00:41:51.559
league of their own at the double -day field

00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.400
in Cooperstown where they shot it I don't know

00:41:53.659 --> 00:41:55.440
But I just like the idea that you're going to

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:57.719
watch a baseball movie at a baseball park. Yeah,

00:41:57.739 --> 00:41:59.760
that's great. We love the Syracuse Mets. That's

00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:02.119
cool. Yeah. What do you got? Let's finish it

00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:06.079
off with what, I don't know, you said you had

00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:09.159
some? So I'm, you know, chronically online. And

00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:11.719
when you do that, you spend a little time on

00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.760
the old Reddit. Boy, that is a shithole, right?

00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:20.360
You think? Anyway. It's almost as bad as X. There

00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:23.340
is one of the most popular subreddits is called,

00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:25.739
Am I the Asshole? And if you're not familiar,

00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:29.300
this is a section where folks pose a story, a

00:42:29.300 --> 00:42:32.199
situation, and they ask the audience, ask the

00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.900
readers, are they the asshole in this story?

00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.059
And people either vote yes or no. Interestingly

00:42:38.059 --> 00:42:40.320
enough, as I was scrolling through these, the

00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:44.320
vast majority is not the asshole. So I feel like

00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:48.420
as snarky as people on the internet are, I feel

00:42:48.420 --> 00:42:50.539
like people might go out of their way to post

00:42:50.539 --> 00:42:53.039
these stories that make them look good, so they'll

00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:55.920
always come out. I don't know. Sure. But anyway.

00:42:57.860 --> 00:43:00.059
Am I the asshole for taking walks on my lunch

00:43:00.059 --> 00:43:03.699
break? Starts out, few years ago I started a

00:43:03.699 --> 00:43:05.699
job that was more office based than previous

00:43:05.699 --> 00:43:07.579
jobs. Because of that I was moving less, gaining

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:09.739
some weight, got very out of shape. I'm not overweight,

00:43:09.780 --> 00:43:11.480
but I'm carrying a little more fat than I used

00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:13.800
to. And I can tell my cardio ability has gone

00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:17.900
down. I get a one hour. paid lunch every day.

00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:20.059
A lot of my coworkers eat at their desk, do a

00:43:20.059 --> 00:43:22.199
little work, maybe answering an email, but mostly

00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:24.840
eating. I personally go to my car and eat, and

00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:26.860
then I do laps around the parking garage before

00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:30.000
I go back in. Walk, she doesn't do laps in the

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.860
car around the parking garage, just to be clear.

00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:34.579
I'm never gone for more than the hour that I

00:43:34.579 --> 00:43:37.179
have for my lunch, and I'm back on time. Recently,

00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:38.760
I did my normal routine, grabbed my lunch, went

00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:40.599
to my car, ate it, started to walk, happened

00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:42.820
to run into a coworker during my walk. He was

00:43:42.820 --> 00:43:44.300
out there because he forgot something he needed

00:43:44.300 --> 00:43:46.400
from his car. He stopped me and asked what I

00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:48.800
was doing. I told him I ate my lunch and now

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:50.760
I'm going for a walk before lunch break is over.

00:43:51.699 --> 00:43:54.920
He didn't like that idea. He said that lunch

00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:57.340
break is for eating, not walking, and that when

00:43:57.340 --> 00:44:00.599
I'm done eating, I should go back to work. I

00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:02.219
told him that we're given an hour for lunch,

00:44:02.260 --> 00:44:04.099
so I want to use all of it in the best way I

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:06.960
can. I think he told other people because I then

00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.139
began receiving comments before I go on break

00:44:09.139 --> 00:44:11.300
that I didn't receive before. I don't think I

00:44:11.300 --> 00:44:14.079
was wrong. I'm entitled to my break. All my work

00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:16.000
gets done on time, and I take about the same

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.079
amount of time every day, so it's expected when

00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.559
I won't be available. I may come back for a few

00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:25.300
urgent emails, but I've never had an emergency

00:44:25.300 --> 00:44:27.940
when I was gone. Talked to my parents about it.

00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:29.940
They both said that they work through their lunch,

00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.739
and I shouldn't be out walking, but also they're

00:44:32.739 --> 00:44:34.519
older and raised in a different time, so don't

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.679
know if I should trust their judgment. So, am

00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.400
I the asshole for taking a walk on my lunch break?

00:44:41.420 --> 00:44:45.460
Absolutely not. In my opinion. You are correct.

00:44:45.659 --> 00:44:47.579
That is the correct answer. It's the dumbest

00:44:47.579 --> 00:44:49.639
fucking thing I've ever heard. Here's a problem

00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:55.400
we have. This is classic American boomer work

00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:58.500
mindset. You're going where I'm going. This is

00:44:58.500 --> 00:45:02.780
one of the, probably the biggest issue that I

00:45:02.780 --> 00:45:05.260
take with our American society. I believe this

00:45:05.260 --> 00:45:08.449
idea is uniquely American. And it's something

00:45:08.449 --> 00:45:11.570
that I try to talk about on a very regular basis.

00:45:11.869 --> 00:45:16.329
This idea that you are who you make money for.

00:45:17.489 --> 00:45:20.030
This idea you meet somebody and, oh, hey, what

00:45:20.030 --> 00:45:22.849
do you do for a living? That's the first thing

00:45:22.849 --> 00:45:26.090
we ask, because in a capitalistic society, we

00:45:26.090 --> 00:45:28.150
constantly have to do stratification. We've got

00:45:28.150 --> 00:45:30.829
to put things in categories. So when we meet

00:45:30.829 --> 00:45:33.090
someone, what do you do? Because we have to go,

00:45:33.429 --> 00:45:36.920
OK, they make this much money. Yeah. And it's

00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:39.280
all, you know, how much money do you make for

00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:41.079
somebody else? That's the wildest part about

00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:44.420
all of this. And, you know, you'll hear, you

00:45:44.420 --> 00:45:46.599
might have remembered people our parents' age

00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:48.900
and their generation talk about what's the worst

00:45:48.900 --> 00:45:51.800
thing that you could say about somebody? They

00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:54.239
don't have a job. Yep. They're lazy. He don't

00:45:54.239 --> 00:46:00.119
work. He ain't worth a shit. Ironically, that

00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:03.219
extends to, like, not even just having a job.

00:46:03.530 --> 00:46:06.469
but they also expect you to literally kill yourself

00:46:06.469 --> 00:46:09.610
at the job. As you can see in this story here,

00:46:09.730 --> 00:46:13.349
these people, how dare you might take your lunch

00:46:13.349 --> 00:46:18.670
break and not continue to be productive. If you

00:46:18.670 --> 00:46:21.849
work more than 40 hours a week, whoa, you are

00:46:21.849 --> 00:46:24.449
a real man. You are a real citizen. That's that

00:46:24.449 --> 00:46:27.769
mentality. And it bothers me too with the trickle

00:46:27.769 --> 00:46:29.889
-down economics is part of that, where it's like,

00:46:30.030 --> 00:46:33.809
if you work, 40 to 60 hours a week some day and

00:46:33.809 --> 00:46:36.570
you save some day you'll be rich you don't end

00:46:36.570 --> 00:46:38.789
up rich because we don't pay living wages first

00:46:38.789 --> 00:46:40.570
of all fucking scam and trickle down economics

00:46:40.570 --> 00:46:42.610
doesn't work but it's it's that mindset where

00:46:42.610 --> 00:46:45.110
it's you got to pull yourself up by the bootstraps

00:46:45.110 --> 00:46:47.929
and you got to work 40 hours at least 40 hours

00:46:47.929 --> 00:46:49.849
a week Monday through Friday you can't have three

00:46:49.849 --> 00:46:52.130
days off it is such an outdated mentality and

00:46:52.130 --> 00:46:55.949
I am not for for people not working that is not

00:46:55.949 --> 00:46:58.510
what it's about but there's a way I studied this

00:46:58.510 --> 00:47:00.170
in college and we talked about it on one of my

00:47:00.170 --> 00:47:02.610
clips where I, you know, other countries, like

00:47:02.610 --> 00:47:04.809
you have us work four days a week, we get three,

00:47:04.909 --> 00:47:07.090
three days off. You know what that does? That

00:47:07.090 --> 00:47:09.309
gives me an extra day with my family, which makes

00:47:09.309 --> 00:47:11.369
me happier, which makes my kids happier because

00:47:11.369 --> 00:47:14.530
their dad's around more. And you pay me a living

00:47:14.530 --> 00:47:17.530
wage so I can afford to have healthcare and pay

00:47:17.530 --> 00:47:21.000
my rent or my mortgage. You know, it doesn't

00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.420
have to be 40 to 60 hours a week where you bust

00:47:23.420 --> 00:47:26.360
your ass. We can all work very hard and give

00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:28.659
people a work -life balance. It's not rocket

00:47:28.659 --> 00:47:31.320
science. That's it. And, you know, like I said,

00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:33.760
it's just this whole mindset. And I really want

00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:35.960
to break that because it's insane. I'll go so

00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:37.739
far as to say, now, here's the thing. I'm an

00:47:37.739 --> 00:47:39.719
entrepreneur. I'm a businessman. I'm an employer.

00:47:39.940 --> 00:47:43.039
I employ people and I pay them good wages. And

00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:45.119
there's a lot of things that I need them to do

00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:48.480
at the same time. If you tell me that there's

00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:51.159
some guy down the street who's lazy, and he's

00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:52.900
just getting food stamps, and he's not working,

00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:55.019
I have zero fucking problem with that person

00:47:55.019 --> 00:47:58.219
whatsoever. I don't care how hard you work. I

00:47:58.219 --> 00:48:01.820
don't. I don't care, like, you gotta work this

00:48:01.820 --> 00:48:04.500
hard in order to earn welfare. I don't care.

00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:08.280
If you're a human being, you deserve basics,

00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:11.019
which to me includes food, healthcare, and shelter.

00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:13.639
Healthcare is not a luxury. It's a fucking human

00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:16.699
right. The fact that it's 2025, And we're too

00:48:16.699 --> 00:48:18.739
worried about the name of the Gulf of America

00:48:18.739 --> 00:48:21.360
or Gulf of Mexico instead of giving people affordable

00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.739
or free health care is fucking mind blowing to

00:48:23.739 --> 00:48:27.159
me. It is. And that's as close as politics as

00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:29.420
we'll get on this show. I know we're not about

00:48:29.420 --> 00:48:32.059
that, but you know. No, no, that's that's it.

00:48:32.059 --> 00:48:34.000
And like I said, I just like any time I see these

00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.719
this work mindset, I really like to say something

00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:41.039
about it. Me too. The reality is it's so baked

00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:43.280
into our culture that most people don't even

00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:46.559
realize. that it is an idea that is not natural.

00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:48.239
You know what I mean? It's one of these things

00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:50.699
that isn't planted. And what I would love folks

00:48:50.699 --> 00:48:52.599
to do, even if you disagree with me, you know,

00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:54.960
like, oh, people need to work their ass off in

00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:58.960
order to earn a fucking cookie. Okay. All I would

00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:02.000
ask of you, though, is just to ponder for a second

00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.639
who that thought most benefits and who might

00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:10.599
have planted that seed. When you go, when you

00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:14.110
look at somebody and you judge him, by how hard

00:49:14.110 --> 00:49:16.489
he works and how much money he makes for me.

00:49:16.730 --> 00:49:18.269
I'm the business owner. Somebody looks at you

00:49:18.269 --> 00:49:20.489
and goes, what do you do for a living, Mike?

00:49:20.630 --> 00:49:23.090
And you go, oh, I'm a podcast producer. Oh, OK.

00:49:23.210 --> 00:49:25.929
Well, you're in a salary for that. That's respectable,

00:49:26.389 --> 00:49:31.269
right? It's nonsense. It's nonsense. I couldn't

00:49:31.269 --> 00:49:34.349
agree more. It's all about what benefits me.

00:49:34.610 --> 00:49:38.519
Right. It's the business owner the corporations

00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:41.420
that are telling you that you have to work so

00:49:41.420 --> 00:49:44.280
hard so that you can benefit them You're never

00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:47.239
gonna make more than them, you know, and I just

00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:49.380
they're also the one that benefit from this idea

00:49:49.380 --> 00:49:51.980
of you putting down your co -worker Yeah, right.

00:49:52.019 --> 00:49:54.639
So what if I took hey that day Danny's a lazy

00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:56.920
fuck sure is and you know what? We could all

00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:59.460
make more you could make more money if your if

00:49:59.460 --> 00:50:01.579
your co -worker wasn't so lazy smells like so

00:50:01.579 --> 00:50:03.719
why don't you diarrhea? We're getting a little

00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:06.500
crazier But you know what I mean? Like, that's

00:50:06.500 --> 00:50:10.260
that whole thing. It's not even a matter of putting

00:50:10.260 --> 00:50:13.019
down you specifically, but it's getting you to

00:50:13.019 --> 00:50:16.179
ride the other guy to make him work harder for

00:50:16.179 --> 00:50:19.739
me. Yep. And like I said on that clip before,

00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:21.659
and we've talked about it, and you live it, which

00:50:21.659 --> 00:50:25.460
is incredible to me, is that there are employers

00:50:25.460 --> 00:50:28.320
in other countries where they, I mean, we're

00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.659
talking industries like factory industry, you

00:50:30.659 --> 00:50:33.210
know, manufacturing. where, you know, if you're

00:50:33.210 --> 00:50:36.449
not open five days a week, you're not manufacturing

00:50:36.449 --> 00:50:38.909
on that fifth day. But here's the thing, these

00:50:38.909 --> 00:50:41.409
people get four, they work four days a week,

00:50:41.469 --> 00:50:43.010
they get like four weeks vacation, they have

00:50:43.010 --> 00:50:45.449
three days off. What people don't understand

00:50:45.449 --> 00:50:48.190
is that serves the employer too because these

00:50:48.190 --> 00:50:52.449
people are more rested. They're healthy because

00:50:52.449 --> 00:50:55.489
they have health insurance. They will stay and

00:50:55.489 --> 00:50:58.739
be more loyal because they have it so good. We've

00:50:58.739 --> 00:51:01.099
been trained to think the opposite. And it's

00:51:01.099 --> 00:51:03.679
mind blowing to me that we can't adopt this new

00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:06.059
mentality of we can still work our asses off,

00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.860
but it doesn't have to be five days a week. It

00:51:07.860 --> 00:51:10.179
doesn't have to be 40 plus hours. It can still

00:51:10.179 --> 00:51:13.320
be done by allowing you to spend time with your

00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:15.380
families. Look at how many fucked up people there

00:51:15.380 --> 00:51:17.380
are because they had terrible childhoods because

00:51:17.380 --> 00:51:19.679
their parents were busting their ass poor or

00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.500
working too hard and weren't around. I mean,

00:51:22.500 --> 00:51:24.619
I could do it. You hit the nail on the head.

00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:26.460
So this is the last thing I'll say about this.

00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:29.579
This whole idea again. I'm a business owner.

00:51:29.579 --> 00:51:34.760
I benefit from you working hard for me but Also,

00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:38.059
I benefit from you not getting burned out and

00:51:38.059 --> 00:51:40.239
that's the part that's crazy. You can go. All

00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:41.659
right Yeah, Matt, you don't you don't care about

00:51:41.659 --> 00:51:43.619
you think you know from a moral standpoint You

00:51:43.619 --> 00:51:45.059
just want everything to be nice and everybody

00:51:45.059 --> 00:51:46.820
to be great. No guys, you don't understand This

00:51:46.820 --> 00:51:50.960
is a selfish standpoint what I'm advocating is

00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:55.260
the best for my business if we have a society

00:51:55.260 --> 00:51:57.619
where But keep in mind, people seem to forget

00:51:57.619 --> 00:52:01.480
that we live in a consumer driven economy. You

00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:04.139
know what that means? Yeah. That means consumers

00:52:04.139 --> 00:52:08.860
who are consumers, workers are the ones fueling

00:52:08.860 --> 00:52:11.579
everything. I might have the coolest T -shirt.

00:52:11.659 --> 00:52:13.360
I might have the hottest product on the market.

00:52:13.500 --> 00:52:15.800
But if nobody can fucking buy it, it's worthless.

00:52:15.820 --> 00:52:19.800
Exactly. But when those people have more money

00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:22.840
and have more time to go ahead and buy those

00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:26.260
things, that's what boosts my business. Give

00:52:26.260 --> 00:52:28.840
workers money treat them. Well, they will last

00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:30.579
longer. You're in business. They will be more

00:52:30.579 --> 00:52:33.659
loyal and You'll have a better business. That's

00:52:33.659 --> 00:52:35.960
the wildest part about all this shit If you treat

00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:39.559
people well, it will come back to you in a positive

00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:41.760
way. I'll take it quickly I'll take it a step

00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:44.000
farther where it's you know It's it's about thinking

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:46.019
outside of the box and thinking of things from

00:52:46.019 --> 00:52:49.000
the reverse side like for example Clearly, we

00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:51.599
have a ton of problems at the border. We have

00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:53.420
for as long as the border has been there, right?

00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:55.119
And everyone thinks we got to shut the border.

00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:57.199
We've got to leave it open for certain people

00:52:57.199 --> 00:52:59.440
and we go back and forth. How about we take it

00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:01.559
a step further and think outside of the box in

00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:06.159
that same way? How about we send troops or whoever

00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:10.159
it may be to the places where everybody is fleeing

00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:13.780
from and help them peacefully solve the issues

00:53:13.780 --> 00:53:16.280
there so that people aren't fleeing from their

00:53:16.380 --> 00:53:18.539
and illegally crossing. In other words, go to

00:53:18.539 --> 00:53:20.519
the problem and see if you can resolve the problem

00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:22.579
there. If everyone's running from somewhere,

00:53:22.659 --> 00:53:24.219
there must be something going on where there's

00:53:24.219 --> 00:53:26.360
smoke, there's fire. So instead of shutting off

00:53:26.360 --> 00:53:28.480
the border or partially opening it or dealing

00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:30.639
with all this bullshit, why don't we start going

00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:32.260
to some of these places and seeing if we can

00:53:32.260 --> 00:53:34.760
make a difference? I mean, I don't know. Maybe

00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:40.099
I'm a libtard. I don't know. I love it. I love

00:53:40.099 --> 00:53:42.239
it because he's dead on. I am dead on. Here's

00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:43.739
the thing. Again, we're not this isn't a political

00:53:43.739 --> 00:53:46.880
show, but the reality is The majority of these

00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:50.239
refugees came from countries where our policies

00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:54.659
shifted and made their countries not so great.

00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:58.800
And you can't treat everybody like they are the

00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:03.639
cartel. You cannot blanket statement the whole

00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:06.699
like, well, people that come here, they all steal

00:54:06.699 --> 00:54:09.019
our jobs and they all commit crime. And it's

00:54:09.019 --> 00:54:11.320
like, what about the families that are just trying

00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:14.639
to come here for opportunity? You know, and maybe

00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:17.480
they're doing it the wrong way, but it's it's

00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:19.840
We make it out to be like they're all these villainous

00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:21.840
people These are human beings and some of them

00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:23.360
are villainous and they should be treated like

00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:25.539
they're villainous But you can't treat the people

00:54:25.539 --> 00:54:27.400
next to them who are not doing the same thing

00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:30.539
in the same way It's just it's discretion. That's

00:54:30.539 --> 00:54:32.760
what we need discretion. The last thing I'll

00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:37.340
say on this is This is the reason there's foreign

00:54:37.340 --> 00:54:39.840
aid yeah, a lot of people get better to say why

00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.119
we're sending all that money over to wherever

00:54:42.380 --> 00:54:44.500
And don't get me wrong, there's lots of times

00:54:44.500 --> 00:54:46.760
where it is a waste, but there's lots of other

00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:50.119
times where we're doing it to keep their shit

00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:53.440
there. So they don't come here. So they don't

00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:55.460
bring us their problems. Dude, and to bring it

00:54:55.460 --> 00:54:57.579
full circle, I'm glad you said that. It's that

00:54:57.579 --> 00:54:59.280
same mentality of what we talk about. International

00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:01.619
aid is a part of defense. It's the same thing

00:55:01.619 --> 00:55:03.500
we were talking about with the job, which was

00:55:03.500 --> 00:55:06.099
what? Well, if I give them four weeks vacation

00:55:06.099 --> 00:55:09.039
and I only make them work four days a week, they

00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:11.739
they're more loyal. Things are better for everybody.

00:55:12.260 --> 00:55:14.880
Yes. Same thing. If we send for an aid so they

00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.800
can keep their shit together, it helps everybody.

00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:20.619
But see, a lot of the mindset in politics is

00:55:20.619 --> 00:55:23.179
I don't care unless it directly affects me. Right.

00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:27.440
I don't know what empathy is. OK, I don't know.

00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:29.880
What is this? Bad news? Are we? I don't know.

00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:32.760
Fired up news. We're going on a. Danny doesn't

00:55:32.760 --> 00:55:34.320
show up because he's sick. And look what happens.

00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:36.679
He's normally the one that's like. Just cuts

00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:38.500
us off. Yeah, it's because he's lazy. The guy

00:55:38.500 --> 00:55:40.420
shut up. He doesn't fucking work. Yeah, he's

00:55:40.420 --> 00:55:43.460
not here. Fucking guy, Tana paid sick day. Fucking

00:55:43.460 --> 00:55:46.079
piece of shit. How dare he? I bet she's on a

00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:51.599
