Hey guys, Matt Major from Growth Mode Content.

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.039
Welcome to another episode of Good News York.

00:00:15.019 --> 00:00:19.519
Joining me. Joining you. Is my buddy here, Garth

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.760
Brooks. Stayed away from Zach. Yeah, apparently

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:25.719
you told me I look like a country music star

00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:28.699
with a hat on. Yeah, with the hat. Just for the...

00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:31.160
I don't get it, but okay. Tell me he looks like

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.119
he doesn't want to just go out and ruin Breonna

00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.679
Chicken Fry's life right now. Chicken Fry, Brianna

00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.060
Chicken Fry. What is that story? I saw that name

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:40.719
in the news the other day. You don't know that

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.859
story? No, I don't. Something about... Oh, man.

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.100
I don't know. There's some sort of divorce going

00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:49.200
on. They just dated. Is her real name Chicken

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.979
Fry? No, that's her stage name. Stage name, yeah.

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.219
She works for Barstool. She's a podcaster. Cool.

00:00:57.369 --> 00:01:01.229
beautiful young woman dated this dude and He

00:01:01.229 --> 00:01:03.289
was a piece of shit. Apparently, this is a country

00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:07.049
singer. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm blanking on his name

00:01:07.049 --> 00:01:10.170
and I blur together No, they're all the same

00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:13.489
Zach bryan. I'm not the other guy exactly like

00:01:13.489 --> 00:01:17.549
him. Is there another Zach? Cuz I it could be

00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:21.890
I think All right. All right. So anyway, he was

00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:23.569
apparently a piece of shit to her during the

00:01:23.569 --> 00:01:25.090
relationship. They only dated. They didn't. They

00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:28.549
were married. They broke up. He so bad so that

00:01:28.549 --> 00:01:31.750
he offered her a 12 million dollar NDA to not

00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:35.769
talk about the relationship. Wow. How much did

00:01:35.769 --> 00:01:39.310
you fuck up when you go? Yeah. Listen, before

00:01:39.310 --> 00:01:42.349
you say a word, here's 12 mil. That's my opening

00:01:42.349 --> 00:01:45.510
offer, dude. Now, here's the cool part. One of

00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:47.569
the reasons that that I have a lot of respect

00:01:47.569 --> 00:01:50.250
for this young woman. She said, fuck you, no.

00:01:51.329 --> 00:01:54.569
Hmm. Yeah. So her barstool pays a lot better

00:01:54.569 --> 00:01:58.250
than I do because clearly she had fuck you money

00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:01.989
enough to turn down 12 mil. I would. There's

00:02:01.989 --> 00:02:05.430
not much I wouldn't do for 12. Dude, 12. I might

00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:07.170
throw you off the roof for 12 million dollars.

00:02:07.250 --> 00:02:08.930
You would throw me off the roof for five bucks,

00:02:09.090 --> 00:02:14.090
but I I got to believe that 12. Like, what do

00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:16.780
you think? What could he have done that it's

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:18.460
worth $12 million to shut your mouth? It's gotta

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:21.939
be he likes getting pegged. No, no. He's just

00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:24.530
a piece of shit. Know and we're living kind of

00:02:24.530 --> 00:02:27.610
in the post me too where it's not cool for the

00:02:27.610 --> 00:02:30.129
world to see that you are a piece I see so you

00:02:30.129 --> 00:02:32.530
just think it's a million like overall don't

00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:34.090
make me look bad. It's one of those It's the

00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:36.669
management going if she tells the truth about

00:02:36.669 --> 00:02:38.710
this guy How much is that gonna hurt his image

00:02:38.710 --> 00:02:41.710
and you know, so it's not reflected ticket sales

00:02:41.710 --> 00:02:43.710
and it's one of those It's almost like one of

00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:45.169
those insurance deals. They're trying to hedge

00:02:45.169 --> 00:02:49.120
their bets to save their losses didn't work She

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.759
said no and and has proceeded to tell the world

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.360
what a piece of shit. He is an interesting subtext

00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.599
of that story He is apparently moved on as a

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.800
new girl I think he cloned Briana in a lab Mmm,

00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:06.919
so much so that when they put the comparison

00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.800
together people are like which one is who? So

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.020
she's the Briana grilled chicken Briana grilled

00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:15.659
chicken. All right, Briana chicken par Bro seriously

00:03:15.659 --> 00:03:17.780
has a type, you know, it's one of those sets.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.580
You know, Kanye got a new woman that looked exactly

00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:24.099
like the old one. Yes, right after Kim Kardashian.

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.060
He dated a Kim Kardashian. Right on the nose.

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:30.900
You know, it's funny because if I was Zach Brian,

00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:33.099
which apparently I look like him with a hat on,

00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.699
I would actually not offer 12 million because

00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:40.840
here's the thing, I have noticed there is public

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.379
relations people. Also, you're not a piece of

00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:44.729
shit. Aw, thanks, buddy. I always thought you

00:03:44.729 --> 00:03:46.530
thought I was. You probably wouldn't have sat

00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:48.150
there, and I don't mean to cut you off, but you

00:03:48.150 --> 00:03:49.650
probably wouldn't have sat there and thought,

00:03:49.889 --> 00:03:52.789
listen, I have $12 million worth of bullshit

00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:54.729
that I don't want the public to know about me.

00:03:54.729 --> 00:03:58.120
Yeah, I'm a pretty open book. I mean... If I

00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.080
got pegged, I'd be like, okay. Yes, she pegged

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.479
me. There it is. You know, I'm not gonna pay

00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.020
12 million saying that I don't think that's actually

00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:04.539
part of the deal, but I think we should run with

00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:07.419
it Yeah, I do too. Um, so here's the thing. I

00:04:07.419 --> 00:04:10.639
have noticed something That they're the public

00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.300
relations people these days are very very smart.

00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:16.620
Do you remember years ago? When they very very

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:19.240
scared it will that too you remember when Simon

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.060
Cowell like banged his Buddy's wife and then

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:26.199
they she got pregnant and now he has a kid, right?

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.319
So I watch America's Got Talent. It's one of

00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.339
the only reality shows I watch. My daughter and

00:04:31.339 --> 00:04:33.180
I have this thing where we bond at night. Is

00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:35.399
that still on? We watch new episodes. Yeah, 20th

00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.040
season. 20th season, actually. I'm watching it

00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.819
right now. And Simon Cowell, and I'll admit,

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.000
I even fell for it, even though I knew what was

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.100
going on. Simon Cowell is now this likable guy.

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:51.600
He always likes the acts that he would normally.

00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:53.420
Oh, yeah. Now they've kind of moved it on for

00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:55.220
being the asshole. Right. That was his whole

00:04:55.220 --> 00:04:57.819
thing with American Idol. So here's and I don't

00:04:57.819 --> 00:04:59.680
have proof of this, but this is the way I've

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.800
built a template that you have one of those shows

00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.560
and you have an asshole British guy. 100 percent.

00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:06.339
Yeah. There's a million shows that completely

00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:08.319
ripped off his shtick. And I'm glad you said

00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.839
that because that's where I'm going with this.

00:05:09.939 --> 00:05:13.579
This is why I think this was a PR move. Suddenly

00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:16.120
he's nice. which doesn't check out because you

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.860
gotta have the angry British guy, right? And

00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:19.560
that's what he was known for. And then I remembered

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.639
this whole banging his friend's wife and he gets

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.920
her pregnant, they have a kid. How do you recover

00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.540
from that if you're Simon Cowell's management

00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:30.339
or PR, right? Here's what you do. You use the

00:05:30.339 --> 00:05:32.939
old script writing trick. You show somebody with

00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:37.300
children or animals and... All is forgiven. So

00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:38.959
like if you're writing a script and you want

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.600
the heel to become a good guy, you show them

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.060
being nice to children or an elderly person or

00:05:44.060 --> 00:05:46.759
you bring in a pet. And I've noticed over the

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:52.069
years, he goes gaga over the dog axe. He constantly,

00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:53.910
there was a while where they were bringing his

00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:56.529
son on set, like in between footage of him like

00:05:56.529 --> 00:05:59.250
hugging his son, right? So I'm like, I see what

00:05:59.250 --> 00:06:00.689
they're doing. They're trying to turn him into

00:06:00.689 --> 00:06:03.050
a good guy. And it worked because I like them

00:06:03.050 --> 00:06:05.529
now. So I think Zach Bryan shouldn't have paid

00:06:05.529 --> 00:06:07.870
the 12 million because if you can make Simon

00:06:07.870 --> 00:06:09.850
Cowell look like a good dude. All right, but

00:06:09.850 --> 00:06:13.170
here's the thing. In that example, Simon Cowell

00:06:13.170 --> 00:06:15.230
plays the heel. Like, I don't understand how

00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:17.009
you could hurt your - Not anymore. You're like,

00:06:17.050 --> 00:06:21.089
oh. He did this nasty thing. He's a real asshole.

00:06:21.350 --> 00:06:24.269
Like, yeah, that's on brand. Oh, I see what you're

00:06:24.269 --> 00:06:27.389
saying. Yeah, but the thing is... How do you

00:06:27.389 --> 00:06:29.730
tarnish the image of a heel? Well, see, asshole

00:06:29.730 --> 00:06:34.449
on a reality TV show is like, yeah, bloody awful.

00:06:34.689 --> 00:06:37.279
You don't know how to sing. But I think... It

00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.980
crosses the line when you're having sex and impregnating

00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:42.000
your friend's wife. I don't want this to sound

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.980
like I'm disagreeing because honestly I think

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:46.860
you're completely correct. I do too. I just don't

00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:49.680
totally understand. You know what I mean? Understand

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.560
what? He doesn't have an image to rehab. I feel

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.800
like there is exactly zero viewers who decided

00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.740
I'm not going to watch NBC because Simon... Banged

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.279
his buddy's sister, but see that like exactly

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.800
zero dollars were affected by that move in my

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.720
opinion Well, I think you're right on it because

00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.120
they got analysts if he's differently if he's

00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.300
supposed to be this asshole And he does that

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:17.100
which is really I mean as asshole as you can

00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:20.060
get I mean is it though like on the list of things.

00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:23.639
It's not like Seinfeld who dated a child Oh,

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.420
you know what Seinfeld dated a child. You don't

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:28.980
remember that God famous for being a pedophile.

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:33.470
Oh my god One is with all these minors. A teenager.

00:07:33.949 --> 00:07:37.110
I didn't know that. Yeah. Well, that's disgusting.

00:07:37.110 --> 00:07:39.110
I'm not really a Jerry Seinfeld fan, you know.

00:07:40.569 --> 00:07:42.290
Simon is just, you know... I know he's supposed

00:07:42.290 --> 00:07:44.949
to be an asshole, but adultery, impregnating

00:07:44.949 --> 00:07:47.370
your friend's wife, but here's the thing. I think

00:07:47.370 --> 00:07:49.029
because we're in this... Hello, game is weak!

00:07:49.209 --> 00:07:53.810
It was in the Me Too, like the heat of the cancel

00:07:53.810 --> 00:07:56.269
culture. I think AGT was like, dude, nobody's

00:07:56.269 --> 00:07:57.589
gonna watch the show, we're gonna get canceled.

00:07:57.649 --> 00:08:00.819
I mean, it's his show. So I think you know, you're

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:02.720
right. I think that's I think that was kind of

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.439
the thing behind it. So what did they do? They

00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.439
doctored him up into this like, oh, look, he's

00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.519
so nice to these children and these dogs. And

00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.339
and it worked because even though I was aware

00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:14.560
of it, I still fell for it. It can it's very

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.920
easy to do. It's very easy to do. It's Tuesday

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.220
Newsday. That was literally the opening. We started

00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:21.800
out with me making fun of him and that turned

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.000
into a whole segment. That's the beauty of what

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.060
we do. That's why you need a podcast. That's

00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:27.579
why I love you. Not to derail you, but that brings

00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:29.259
me to another point that I did want to make sure

00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:31.560
that I talk about today. So I posted about this

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.740
and it got a lot of love on a lot of the channels.

00:08:34.779 --> 00:08:39.000
And the reality is this was a really pretty big

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.500
thing that flew under the radar. Our views on

00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:45.460
our posts and our videos and our clips and all

00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:49.019
those things for Good News York have now reached

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:51.759
the millions. Our numbers are in the fucking

00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.519
million. That's crazy. I meant to ask you about

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.580
that. You texted us that. I honestly don't...

00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:58.220
We haven't paid close enough attention to tell

00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:00.240
you exactly the day that we crossed that line

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.679
or got our millionth viewer or anything like

00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:06.120
that. I literally was like, hey, I should probably

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.580
see where our numbers are at. And they were absolutely

00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:13.159
incredible. Are you talking just Good News York?

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:15.039
Specifically just Good News York. So not our

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.679
clients? No. So that would mean not our clients

00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.580
not our personal stuff that our our a lot of

00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:23.559
this person has driven on our own pages, you

00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.440
know, you've got a ton of traction on your Existing

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.639
pages from clips from the show and things like

00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.539
that. Yeah done. It doesn't include any of that

00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:34.139
Wow And these are real real numbers. Yeah real

00:09:34.139 --> 00:09:36.539
real video view and these are and here's the

00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:40.840
thing It's not surprising Right? Because this

00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.820
is literally the strategy, and this is literally

00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:46.200
what we've been telling people would occur, and

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.460
I'm happy to say that we're proving that model.

00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:54.799
But consistency, volume, and quality. We're working

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:55.720
on the quality. We're working on the quality.

00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.720
In that order, right? Consistency and volume

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.179
honestly come before quality. And I don't say

00:10:01.179 --> 00:10:03.120
that to like shit on us, but just to talk about

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.840
the way that content and these algorithms work,

00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.559
you gotta start doing it. because with that consistency

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.759
and quantity, you start to see what works. And

00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.320
that's the part that I think a lot of people

00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.980
miss. A lot of people get into this game and

00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:18.919
they go, I know exactly what kind of video is

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.299
gonna do right. And they spend three and a half

00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:23.620
days producing that video and it gets eight fucking

00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:27.139
views. And we do that too. But the reality is

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:30.799
we also machine gun out 10 other videos and two

00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.100
of them suddenly do tens of thousands of views.

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:39.850
And then we adjust. Thing you told me when I

00:10:39.850 --> 00:10:41.669
started working here when we started talking

00:10:41.669 --> 00:10:44.090
about strategy and what we're gonna do is you

00:10:44.090 --> 00:10:47.129
preached consistency Yeah, you preach cuz and

00:10:47.129 --> 00:10:49.370
you made the point like think about all the things

00:10:49.370 --> 00:10:51.070
that show up in your algorithm things that you're

00:10:51.070 --> 00:10:53.590
like It's not that good, but it keeps showing

00:10:53.590 --> 00:10:55.870
up. It's because they're just consistent in what

00:10:55.870 --> 00:10:58.590
they're posting Maybe the quality isn't as great

00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:02.330
But it's phenomenal that we're getting this many

00:11:02.330 --> 00:11:05.110
views, man. And it's a testament to how hard

00:11:05.110 --> 00:11:07.090
you've worked in your vision. And I'm so glad

00:11:07.090 --> 00:11:12.090
to be a part of it. You know, I just I forgot

00:11:12.090 --> 00:11:13.690
where I was going with it, but I'm just I'm excited.

00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:15.889
No, it's good. We're we're doing great things

00:11:15.889 --> 00:11:19.149
and I'm very excited, very happy to have all

00:11:19.149 --> 00:11:20.929
of the folks that are listening and watching.

00:11:21.210 --> 00:11:25.350
I will say as well, our audio podcast. Which

00:11:25.350 --> 00:11:27.289
you can get anywhere, podcasts. It is starting

00:11:27.289 --> 00:11:29.570
to grow incredibly rapidly as well. People are

00:11:29.570 --> 00:11:32.029
starting to figure that part out. Really? That's

00:11:32.029 --> 00:11:33.990
a slow burn. All of this, and this is what we've

00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:36.429
told all of our clients from day one, the content

00:11:36.429 --> 00:11:38.690
game is always going to be a slow burn. Sure.

00:11:38.950 --> 00:11:42.169
No one, with the exception of, you know, well

00:11:42.169 --> 00:11:44.350
-known celebrities, and honestly, many of them,

00:11:45.029 --> 00:11:47.669
have never put out episode one, two, or three

00:11:47.669 --> 00:11:51.610
and, you know, hit the masses. Right. It's a

00:11:51.610 --> 00:11:53.649
slow burn. What's interesting, though, as I was

00:11:53.649 --> 00:11:55.509
thinking about this, We've talked about this

00:11:55.509 --> 00:11:57.490
a little bit, and I'm not going to get too deep

00:11:57.490 --> 00:12:00.169
into it, but here at Growth Mode Content, we

00:12:00.169 --> 00:12:03.669
are getting into live selling. And we've talked

00:12:03.669 --> 00:12:05.289
about this a little bit, this live shopping.

00:12:05.450 --> 00:12:07.669
Basically, I keep calling it modern day QVC.

00:12:08.189 --> 00:12:10.549
But it's basically there's a wide variety of

00:12:10.549 --> 00:12:13.009
platforms including ones that you use like Amazon

00:12:13.009 --> 00:12:15.190
and eBay that you might not even realize they

00:12:15.190 --> 00:12:17.389
do this But there's these live shopping feeds

00:12:17.389 --> 00:12:19.370
where you can go on and watch everyday people

00:12:19.370 --> 00:12:23.070
sell regular products This is something that

00:12:23.070 --> 00:12:25.009
we're going to offer as a company to our clients.

00:12:25.070 --> 00:12:27.009
We're gonna help local businesses sell their

00:12:27.009 --> 00:12:30.669
stuff But I was thinking about the difference

00:12:30.669 --> 00:12:33.490
in these games and I realized it's two totally

00:12:33.490 --> 00:12:36.409
different gamuts, right? So all of our content

00:12:36.409 --> 00:12:38.879
clients We've told them exactly what I just said

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.639
when they come in and they start doing the podcast.

00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:42.980
Listen, you're not going to go viral on day one.

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.360
Don't expect that. Don't expect massive numbers.

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:49.820
This is a slow burn and it's made for to put

00:12:49.820 --> 00:12:52.080
things out there. So eventually people will find

00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:59.279
you and jump on. But the live selling is the

00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.440
exact opposite side of that. It is instant gratification.

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.820
Yeah. And that will be a whole different world

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:07.570
for us where Instead of making something and

00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:09.169
putting it out there and getting feedback and

00:13:09.169 --> 00:13:11.129
eventually whatever literally we're gonna go

00:13:11.129 --> 00:13:14.129
live right now for the next couple hours and

00:13:14.129 --> 00:13:16.429
Folks are gonna buy this shit right now. Yeah,

00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:19.330
and It's very interesting. I just got I love

00:13:19.330 --> 00:13:20.850
you know like the strategies I'm like, wait a

00:13:20.850 --> 00:13:22.549
minute, you know, we're talking all these other

00:13:22.549 --> 00:13:24.549
things are this very slow this long -term this

00:13:24.549 --> 00:13:27.399
whatever The selling is the exact opposite. Dude,

00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:30.620
you are always a step ahead. You know, you built

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:32.679
the first podcast studio in Syracuse, which I

00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:34.379
was a guest on. I've talked about this before.

00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.279
And I remember getting done with the interview.

00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:38.539
I was in a band and you had interviewed me. And

00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:41.679
I remember saying to you, so wait, did this air?

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.139
And you're like, no, no, buddy. It's a podcast.

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:46.399
I'm like, what's a pod? You know, it's like radio,

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:49.139
but scheduled. So I mean. You have been talking

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:51.279
about this live selling because before now, live

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.659
selling to me was what I would see on TikTok

00:13:53.659 --> 00:13:55.860
after midnight, and it was just like a really

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:58.120
bad Walmart, you know? I was like, what is going

00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.740
on? This is crazy. Now, I'm starting to see what

00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:02.980
you're seeing, and I want to get to a point where,

00:14:03.059 --> 00:14:04.980
like, this morning, we opened with, hey, looky,

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:08.039
when Mike wears his hat, He looks like Zach Brian,

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.440
or whatever. Yeah, I think it's Zach Brian. And

00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.500
what if we made it clickable? You could buy my

00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:14.340
hat right now and we link it, you know? I wanna

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:18.320
do that stuff. And it's going to be done. And

00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.220
that's what we're getting to. And another thing,

00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:23.340
yesterday, I showed off my new business card.

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:25.840
Can I talk about this? Is this private? Don't

00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:29.259
yet. Okay. We got a new cool thing. We got a

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:31.639
new cool thing and I can't wait to talk about

00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.419
it and it's along those lines. It's one of those

00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:35.659
things that's very close to ready. That's one

00:14:35.659 --> 00:14:37.279
of the reasons I don't want to deep tease it

00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:38.679
too much because I think we're going to be able

00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.600
to go the full long. I knew it was cool when

00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.289
you gave it to me and we set it up. when I unveiled

00:14:44.289 --> 00:14:46.610
it to family and friends yesterday, their jaws

00:14:46.610 --> 00:14:48.789
dropped. And I said, here's the thing. I said,

00:14:48.850 --> 00:14:51.590
my boss is always and my friend, more importantly,

00:14:51.950 --> 00:14:54.350
is always a step ahead. I said, so this is going

00:14:54.350 --> 00:14:56.710
to this is going to become normal. This is going

00:14:56.710 --> 00:14:58.830
to be a normal thing for people without saying

00:14:58.830 --> 00:15:01.129
too much. It's going to become normal in society.

00:15:01.129 --> 00:15:03.570
And just remember that Matt Maeser thought of

00:15:03.570 --> 00:15:05.750
it first. And you saw it here. I don't I don't

00:15:05.750 --> 00:15:06.929
know if I can take the credit for thinking of

00:15:06.929 --> 00:15:09.250
it first. There's lots of people that sell those

00:15:09.250 --> 00:15:12.700
things that we're going to be selling. But. Because

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:15.100
of that reason, we're gonna hopefully have some

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:18.139
competitive advantages. Some features, some quality,

00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.340
some unique things that you can't get from anybody

00:15:20.340 --> 00:15:23.080
else. And then, again, not to talk about it too

00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.080
much, but we are going to get into some things

00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:29.139
that nobody is doing. And I think if we are successful

00:15:29.139 --> 00:15:31.379
in popularizing it, it's going to be incredible.

00:15:32.620 --> 00:15:34.659
So I'm excited about that. That's going to be

00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:38.399
a fun thing. That is going to be a direct -to

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.700
-consumer product, meaning everyday people might

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:44.090
want to buy it. which is a departure from what

00:15:44.090 --> 00:15:47.250
I've traditionally done. My history in business

00:15:47.250 --> 00:15:48.990
is what they call B2B, business to business.

00:15:49.409 --> 00:15:52.289
I've always done what we do here where we offer

00:15:52.289 --> 00:15:55.409
a service to another business. I personally don't

00:15:55.409 --> 00:15:58.350
have a huge background in selling products directly

00:15:58.350 --> 00:16:00.110
to consumers and I'm kind of excited about that.

00:16:00.129 --> 00:16:03.409
That's a fun like thing to do. As we get into

00:16:03.409 --> 00:16:05.669
this live shopping, that's one of the things

00:16:05.669 --> 00:16:07.309
I'm gonna kind of focus on. It's gonna give me

00:16:07.309 --> 00:16:10.299
the good sort of sample to... learn how to sell

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:12.080
and do this stuff. So I'm excited about that

00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.340
part, too. You make a good point because I just

00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:17.000
thought of something. Back in the day, if you

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.419
wanted to pivot and say, I want to kind of just

00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:22.559
do direct to consumer stuff, you'd have to pivot

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.960
and re brand your business or just do a whole

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.240
new business model. You can still keep your business

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.159
as is and just almost do it on the side. Yeah,

00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:33.879
I don't want to say like on the side, like you

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:35.460
won't put effort into it. But you know what I

00:16:35.460 --> 00:16:37.399
mean? Like, you know, it's just easy to do in

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.100
addition to what you're already doing. You know,

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.320
One of the things we're doing here from a content

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.360
standpoint and one of the things that I've always

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.419
kept in mind from a business standpoint is is

00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:49.639
building a machine that you can pump other things

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.779
through right so growth mode technologies is

00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:55.539
technically a Kind of an overarching company

00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:57.720
with the idea of having a number of these brands

00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.620
and products and services that that live under

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:03.320
it With the idea to sort of share resources make

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.160
things efficient and and like I said when you

00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.819
got a new idea I don't have to go and rent another

00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:09.799
place and hire another team and do these other

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:11.559
things because we've got so many of these pieces

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.240
already that we can just sort of lend to that

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.500
and if you if you don't mind what happens talking

00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:19.759
about it one of the things I asked you when you

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:21.539
started talking about this live selling and you

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:24.059
know we start having meetings about it because

00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:25.700
again I always think you're ahead of the game

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:27.839
and and and you know what you're doing and so

00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.140
I said well what if the future becomes online

00:17:32.140 --> 00:17:35.720
selling more than retail. What happens to brick

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.319
and mortar in retail stores? Do you remember

00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.660
what you said? And I loved it. And I'm already

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:43.500
seeing it. And again, it's because you're already

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:45.500
seeing these things. I am of the opinion that

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:48.019
the local store will become more of a distribution

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:50.299
center. It makes so much sense. Like you remember

00:17:50.299 --> 00:17:52.799
when Walmart not long ago started putting those

00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.480
big orange things in the middle of Walmart and

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.940
you could like order something and then you go,

00:17:57.980 --> 00:18:00.880
you unlock it. Like, whatever you ordered is

00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.660
in a locker. Yeah, and... Well, plus they do

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:07.099
a lot of delivery, right? So, like, 90 % of the

00:18:07.099 --> 00:18:09.779
time now we get our groceries delivered. Mm.

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:12.200
And it's great because you know what you want,

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:13.980
you know what the family needs, and it comes

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:16.019
time to reorder every week. You just, give me

00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:17.680
this week's groceries, and it shows up at your

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.980
door. You know what else is around the corner?

00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:22.160
They give you a lot of money. And I think I sent

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.619
this to you guys. Did I send you the video of

00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:27.819
the guy somewhere in Europe, I think? He ordered

00:18:27.819 --> 00:18:29.880
Subway, like in the middle of a park, and it

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.039
came by drone. I could see that. People talk

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.640
about that quite a bit, and I think a lot of

00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.579
people think it's one of those funny or futuristic

00:18:37.579 --> 00:18:40.980
things. That's legit. Amazon is legitimately

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:43.680
in testing with that in other parts of the country

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.660
right now. You can go watch videos of people

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:48.259
getting their Amazon Prime drone delivery. It's

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:49.480
pretty wild. Because I remember hearing about

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.759
it, and then I was like, where is this? Remember

00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:57.369
Y2K era, when everybody thought From my point

00:18:57.369 --> 00:18:58.390
of view, correct me if I'm wrong, if you were

00:18:58.390 --> 00:19:01.210
a 90s teen like me, everybody couldn't wait for

00:19:01.210 --> 00:19:04.609
the year 2000 because what was coming? Flying

00:19:04.609 --> 00:19:06.990
cars. Oh, yeah. That was the whole, nobody cared

00:19:06.990 --> 00:19:09.069
about anything else. It was cell phones. Well,

00:19:09.069 --> 00:19:11.049
that's the future. Flying cars, and we still

00:19:11.049 --> 00:19:12.609
don't have flying cars. Anonymous with the future

00:19:12.609 --> 00:19:14.430
is flying cars. Right. And that's why I think

00:19:14.430 --> 00:19:16.410
people are kind of naysaying the drone thing

00:19:16.410 --> 00:19:17.829
because they're like, oh, yeah, I'll just like

00:19:17.829 --> 00:19:19.509
flying cars. And we're like, no, it's already

00:19:19.509 --> 00:19:21.990
happening. I mean, and there is honestly some.

00:19:22.969 --> 00:19:25.289
Similar ideas of flying cars that are starting

00:19:25.289 --> 00:19:28.470
to become a little more mm -hmm Popular and mark

00:19:28.470 --> 00:19:31.869
my words craft. They're calling them now, but

00:19:31.869 --> 00:19:34.230
Holograms are the new thing I real rich people

00:19:34.230 --> 00:19:37.009
can buy themselves like a one -man helicopter

00:19:37.009 --> 00:19:39.769
Yeah, when I was in school they showed it they

00:19:39.769 --> 00:19:41.789
showed a video of this is around the corner,

00:19:41.809 --> 00:19:44.609
too I don't know about definitely commercially,

00:19:44.670 --> 00:19:47.750
but but for the regular consumer. I don't know

00:19:47.750 --> 00:19:50.710
when But there's these these boxes you can get

00:19:50.710 --> 00:19:53.670
in your house where you essentially let's say

00:19:53.670 --> 00:19:56.089
cousins live across the country from each other.

00:19:56.589 --> 00:20:01.470
You have a video camera set up and you are essentially

00:20:01.470 --> 00:20:04.210
on the other side of the country are your cousins

00:20:04.210 --> 00:20:06.450
who have a video camera set up. But you're a

00:20:06.450 --> 00:20:09.750
hologram in the house and you can talk to each

00:20:09.750 --> 00:20:11.170
other. And I remember what you're talking about

00:20:11.170 --> 00:20:13.589
during the pandemic. The stand up New York, which

00:20:13.589 --> 00:20:15.569
I've. Performed at by the way shout out stand

00:20:15.569 --> 00:20:18.650
up, New York. Love that club Is they were the

00:20:18.650 --> 00:20:21.410
first to they were having comedians in LA do

00:20:21.410 --> 00:20:23.710
spots in New York by using holograms on stage?

00:20:23.710 --> 00:20:25.930
It's wild thing. You're talking about they used

00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.220
I think last season on the show Big Brother,

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:33.299
where AI themed and the AI of the house was in

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:35.200
that thing. If you haven't seen it, what he's

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:36.900
talking about, it's sort of like a phone booth.

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:40.380
Yeah. It's a tall, completely closed thing. Yes.

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.640
Where the hologram appears sort of inside it.

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.319
And they look 3D and all that. But it's not like

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:45.980
they're in the room or you can't like wave your

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:48.259
hand through it. It's literally this enclosed

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:51.470
unit. It's wild. It's kind of neat, but again,

00:20:51.549 --> 00:20:54.650
I don't know. I'm of the opinion when it comes

00:20:54.650 --> 00:20:58.410
to holograms as well as 3D. I love 3D in movies

00:20:58.410 --> 00:21:01.829
and things like that, but to me, I'm not super

00:21:01.829 --> 00:21:03.309
interested until we get to the point to where

00:21:03.309 --> 00:21:05.710
I can see it without glasses and special shit.

00:21:05.730 --> 00:21:09.589
I get it. Pretty much, that box is real close.

00:21:09.609 --> 00:21:13.329
Yeah. From Star Wars, where I got to deliver

00:21:13.329 --> 00:21:16.490
a message and boop. Yeah. It pops up and there's

00:21:16.490 --> 00:21:19.210
the princess talking to you in three dimensions.

00:21:21.069 --> 00:21:22.289
I don't know if we're that far away from that

00:21:22.289 --> 00:21:24.109
to be completely honest. I don't think we are.

00:21:24.230 --> 00:21:26.089
I'm really not too interested in it until we

00:21:26.089 --> 00:21:28.089
get there. Speaking of which, you know what I've

00:21:28.089 --> 00:21:29.930
never done? You're talking about 3D movies. Have

00:21:29.930 --> 00:21:33.109
you ever been to an IMAX? Of course. Yeah, I

00:21:33.109 --> 00:21:36.690
haven't. Is that weird? Yes. What is it like?

00:21:37.150 --> 00:21:39.569
Is it just like the IMAX and Syracuse here? Never.

00:21:40.309 --> 00:21:43.440
Oh, my God, bro. Not in Herkimer. All right,

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.799
I'll give you a quick. Give me just give me like

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.700
what is it? Is it fully immersive? Sort of. So

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:52.500
IMAX in general is a very large format film and

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:54.819
there's a couple types of IMAX screens. So you

00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:56.720
can actually go to the IMAX screen in the mall

00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.680
and it's just a very, very, very big screen.

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.920
And the video, the movie is shot in special extra

00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.319
high resolution and it's cool shit. What you

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.319
really want, though, don't mess with the mall

00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.769
at all. Gotta go to the most. They're in Syracuse,

00:22:12.049 --> 00:22:13.589
Museum of Science and Technology. Oh, right,

00:22:13.589 --> 00:22:15.849
right, right. They have what's called an IMAX

00:22:15.849 --> 00:22:19.009
dome theater. There's a few of these in the country,

00:22:19.549 --> 00:22:22.009
but it is essentially the sphere in Las Vegas.

00:22:22.269 --> 00:22:26.069
Yeah, what? Yeah. It is, I sort of picture it

00:22:26.069 --> 00:22:28.109
as sitting like on the inside of a golf ball.

00:22:28.769 --> 00:22:32.369
You sit there and literally pretty much to the

00:22:32.369 --> 00:22:36.470
sides of what you can see is this inside of a

00:22:36.470 --> 00:22:40.019
ball is the whole screen. And so, It is immersive

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:42.440
in that it is literally everything you can see

00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.640
and feel. So there'll be movies where you're

00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:46.160
you're moving around, you're moving fast and

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.779
it stops real quick. You feel like you're going

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:49.920
to fall out of your chair. No shit. But there's

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:51.940
no, you know, there's no moving anything. There's

00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:55.380
no atmosphere. They have actually stuff in your

00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:57.859
seats and they have wins. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff.

00:22:58.259 --> 00:23:01.019
They don't have that at the IMAX, but you don't

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:04.039
need it. It's dude. Incredible. I went to Disney

00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.759
World years ago. And I went to this little theater

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.900
where they would show all clips from different

00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:11.720
Disney movies, like the Be Our Guest. Sure. And

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.680
they would blow the smell of the food. And that's

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:16.559
a little more of the gimmicky, what they call

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:19.480
a 4D theater. Yeah. So these these movies that

00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:21.700
you're seeing in the spheres type IMAX thing,

00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:24.059
are they formatted for that? Oh, 100 percent.

00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:25.720
OK, I see. That's the biggest thing. And I think

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:27.740
it's becoming easier now with different and we're

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:30.400
honestly shooting movies and insane resolutions

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.059
these days. But like back in the day. And this

00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:36.079
has been around for a long time since the 90s

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.960
like I went to see this as a kid Yeah, and the

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.920
dome in Syracuse is one of the only ones in the

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.099
area It's honestly really special, but it used

00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:48.380
to be Very much had to be shot in that special

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:51.720
large format. So they use special cameras And

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:54.700
they used to have they just moved to digital

00:23:54.700 --> 00:23:56.720
So they've got a digital project projector now

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:58.900
in Syracuse, but not too long ago They had the

00:23:58.900 --> 00:24:00.599
original film projector and you could actually

00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.329
see that that took the, you know. Wow. The massive

00:24:04.329 --> 00:24:06.710
size frame. What a time to be alive. See, my

00:24:06.710 --> 00:24:09.910
wife doesn't like to travel much, right? Like,

00:24:10.049 --> 00:24:12.269
if she sees a snake in our garden, she's like,

00:24:12.390 --> 00:24:14.029
well, never going in the garden again. Put the

00:24:14.029 --> 00:24:16.650
house on the market. She saw that the sphere...

00:24:16.650 --> 00:24:18.430
You saw a snake in Syracuse? Well, no, she saw...

00:24:18.430 --> 00:24:21.950
Well, if she did, I wouldn't be here. No. She

00:24:21.950 --> 00:24:24.450
saw an article about the sphere, because I finally

00:24:24.450 --> 00:24:25.970
convinced her that we're going to go to the sphere.

00:24:26.029 --> 00:24:29.430
Yeah. She saw an article that... like dozens

00:24:29.430 --> 00:24:33.069
of people are are having seizures and all these

00:24:33.069 --> 00:24:36.470
problems from going to the sphere from this immersive.

00:24:37.009 --> 00:24:39.730
Did you see any of that when you went? No, exactly.

00:24:40.230 --> 00:24:41.670
No, here's the thing. I mean, there's people

00:24:41.670 --> 00:24:43.410
that are prone to that stuff all over the place

00:24:43.410 --> 00:24:45.630
and you go to all kinds of exhibits that have

00:24:45.630 --> 00:24:47.569
flashing lights or strobe. Sure. And they tell

00:24:47.569 --> 00:24:51.089
you that. What I would say about the sphere,

00:24:51.630 --> 00:24:54.430
not so much, honestly, a little bit at the most,

00:24:54.670 --> 00:24:59.819
too, because those stadiums are very a high incline,

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.440
you know? Vertigo type shit? You know, it just

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:06.079
depends. If you're into that, if you don't like

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.420
heights, if you don't like steep angles, which

00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:12.200
I honestly am not a big fan of, but I was fine.

00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:14.380
In both places, whether you're in the sphere

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:17.940
or whatever, the worst of it is right in the

00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:19.940
middle in the high section, right? You're sitting

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:22.660
in the middle up high. And that is... some of

00:25:22.660 --> 00:25:25.180
the better seats, but there really is not a bad

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:27.880
seat. So can't be. Yeah. Sit on the first level

00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.400
and off to the side. If you're somebody who doesn't

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.299
like the heights, you'll have as good of an experience,

00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.400
but not have a fucking. So you can sit anywhere

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.180
because like with roller coasters, everyone thinks

00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:39.579
that like the front car, right? That's the one

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:41.380
you want, which in some ways it is cool to be

00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:44.569
the you see everything. You don't know if you're

00:25:44.569 --> 00:25:47.150
in the back car of a roller coaster when it's

00:25:47.150 --> 00:25:50.269
going over the edge It gets pulled and you actually

00:25:50.269 --> 00:25:53.210
go faster over the bumps in the sphere interesting

00:25:53.210 --> 00:25:55.390
Is there something like that where you like you

00:25:55.390 --> 00:25:57.670
think the middle is the best spot? No, I mean

00:25:57.670 --> 00:26:00.109
anywhere the middle is only the best spot because

00:26:00.109 --> 00:26:02.210
you know, obviously You're in the middle and

00:26:02.210 --> 00:26:03.849
you get the most of everything wrapped around

00:26:03.849 --> 00:26:06.289
you. Okay, you know I mean, but I'll wrap around

00:26:06.289 --> 00:26:08.529
when I went and saw dead and company We were

00:26:08.529 --> 00:26:12.400
sort of off to the side a little bit. Okay Which

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:14.440
who better to go phenomenal who better to go

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:16.079
see than like Pink Floyd or the Grateful Dead?

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.539
Yeah, I mean if you're gonna yeah, yeah, we know

00:26:19.539 --> 00:26:22.579
Wow Danny, how long have we been going we we

00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:25.119
haven't even gotten into anything yet Have we?

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:27.660
Danny's like I hit cut long time. Yeah. He's

00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:28.920
like what are you talking about? I went home

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:32.579
and came back Well, I want to get to the are

00:26:32.579 --> 00:26:34.259
we good? I want I don't want to move on if you

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:36.319
have more to say about All right, double thumbs.

00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.119
This is huge because our friend Jason Smoral,

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:42.940
who is the GM of the Syracuse Mets, they have

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:44.700
made a really big announcement and we're gonna

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:47.380
run with this. And I think we're gonna do some

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:51.119
more stuff about this, but come 2027, the Syracuse

00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.319
Mets will be looking for a rename. That's right,

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:58.940
they're asking for community input as they consider

00:26:58.940 --> 00:27:02.349
a new identity for the 2027. Season they released

00:27:02.349 --> 00:27:05.890
a social media video where we can name anybody

00:27:05.890 --> 00:27:09.109
can name and if you want to submit Okay, you're

00:27:09.109 --> 00:27:12.069
going to submit from August 5th through August

00:27:12.069 --> 00:27:15.230
31st The top 10 named submissions are going to

00:27:15.230 --> 00:27:18.150
be announced on September 2nd and then it keeps

00:27:18.150 --> 00:27:21.769
going on and on until they finally Pick in fall

00:27:21.769 --> 00:27:25.849
2026 and you can go on you can google it And

00:27:25.849 --> 00:27:27.710
you can find the link to go ahead and fill that

00:27:27.710 --> 00:27:29.990
out. But man, that is exciting before you say

00:27:29.990 --> 00:27:36.609
yours Our man Danny is a alum of the the Syracuse

00:27:36.609 --> 00:27:39.049
Mets, soon to be something else. And actually,

00:27:39.049 --> 00:27:40.710
he was there before they were even the Mets.

00:27:40.829 --> 00:27:44.730
Right. So I want to get your take first, buddy.

00:27:45.210 --> 00:27:49.150
Do you want if you could pick a name for the

00:27:49.150 --> 00:27:51.250
Syracuse baseball team? Do you want to flip the

00:27:51.250 --> 00:27:52.970
camera around? What would you know? He's fine.

00:27:53.230 --> 00:27:56.549
What? What would you call them? You're going

00:27:56.549 --> 00:27:59.990
to put me on the spot like this. Yeah. I feel

00:27:59.990 --> 00:28:03.009
like having seen the success with the Syracuse

00:28:03.009 --> 00:28:05.849
Salt Potatoes, I think it makes sense, logistically,

00:28:06.150 --> 00:28:09.009
to just go and be the Syracuse Salt Potatoes.

00:28:09.069 --> 00:28:12.990
It's got a great history behind the Salt Potato

00:28:12.990 --> 00:28:16.410
and Syracuse. So to me, I think that would be

00:28:16.410 --> 00:28:19.049
the natural fit. That's interesting. That being

00:28:19.049 --> 00:28:23.650
said, you know, I enjoyed the Syracuse Chiefs,

00:28:23.730 --> 00:28:26.450
enjoyed the Syracuse Mets, honestly. I grew up

00:28:26.450 --> 00:28:30.579
with Syracuse Sky Chiefs baseball. And you worked

00:28:30.579 --> 00:28:32.839
there? Go Taters! What were they when you worked

00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.319
there? So they were transitioned to the... It

00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.660
was from baby blue Syracuse Chiefs to the red,

00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.740
white, and blue Syracuse Chiefs. That was their

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:45.339
first rebrand. And then from there, it was Chiefs

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:49.039
to Mets. But through that, we did a bunch of

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.079
alternate identities, like the Syracuse Salt

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.539
Potatoes, the Syracuse. So the Salt Potatoes

00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:56.099
was something they ran with as a gimmick? It

00:28:56.099 --> 00:28:59.740
was just like a? Yeah, usually it was an advertisement

00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:03.099
for around the fair when we were competing with

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:05.539
the fair. Not really competing, but like. At

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:07.359
the same time. It's like a limited. time yeah

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.400
yeah you know so we would have salt potato power

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.940
move weekend and we would be renamed the salt

00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:16.559
potatoes we'd change the sign out front even

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:18.339
all the social media graphics would change over

00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:21.940
to the Syracuse salt potatoes and from that we

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:25.259
kind of did a rivalry with our thruway Rivals

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:27.680
down the road the Rochester Red Wings. They were

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.160
the Rochester plate Oh that right that rat bastard

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.460
that Jason doesn't like Dan Mason you son of

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:35.819
a battle between the golden fork between the

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:38.079
Syracuse plates than the Syracuse salt Sorry,

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:40.140
the Rochester plates and Syracuse salt potatoes

00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:42.319
that that's kind of cool. There's a little bit

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.460
of history behind that too So yeah, I don't know.

00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:48.400
I think salt potatoes would be great. The merch

00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.059
could get a refresh I saw that they were gonna

00:29:51.059 --> 00:29:55.500
keep the orange and blue Coloring just that'll

00:29:55.500 --> 00:30:00.440
help name so That's that's the way better answer

00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:04.460
that way better that was So here's the thing.

00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:05.960
This is what I love about minor league baseball

00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:08.759
teams You actually can have hokey things like

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:10.740
that like the salt potatoes and it sticks like

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:13.619
they have the somewhere I think it's the Albuquerque

00:30:13.619 --> 00:30:15.559
Isotopes was a team at one time, which I think

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.359
is named after a Simpsons episode I mean you

00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:20.619
can do anything field isotopes It's Springfield

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:23.559
Isotopes. There you go. So I think. What's your

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.819
what's your name pick, Mike? Well, I had a few

00:30:25.819 --> 00:30:27.519
minutes while I was waiting for you. Oh, I'm

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:29.759
just going to run down. I got the whole list.

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:32.740
Oh, yeah. I got the Syracuse Alec Baldwin's Syracuse

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:35.980
under construction because everything is Syracuse

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:39.259
Salt City. But I guess Danny said that that that

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:42.349
was already a thing. Salt City Mets. Syracuse

00:30:42.349 --> 00:30:46.769
690s. The Syracuse Squall. This is the snow version.

00:30:47.130 --> 00:30:49.670
Syracuse Squalls. The Syracuse Snowbirds. The

00:30:49.670 --> 00:30:53.170
Syracuse Snowdevils. Syracuse Snowplows. Syracuse

00:30:53.170 --> 00:30:57.069
Blizzard. Syracuse Snowflakes. Syracuse Canals.

00:30:57.309 --> 00:31:00.789
Syracuse Cruise. Syracuse Krabby Patties. Why?

00:31:00.789 --> 00:31:03.349
Because the creator of Spongebob is from here.

00:31:03.509 --> 00:31:07.049
I forget his name. Voice actor, excuse me. So

00:31:07.049 --> 00:31:09.829
you got Syracuse Krabby Patties. Syracuse Squarepants.

00:31:10.969 --> 00:31:13.089
Bobcat Gold Thwait is from here, so how about

00:31:13.089 --> 00:31:15.210
the Syracuse Bobcat Gold Thwaits? You can get

00:31:15.210 --> 00:31:17.049
him to throw out every pitch. I don't know what

00:31:17.049 --> 00:31:20.809
to pitch! The Syracuse Easy Passes. I love baseball,

00:31:21.049 --> 00:31:24.069
man. The Syracuse Through Crew and the Syracuse

00:31:24.069 --> 00:31:28.029
Fuscillos because they're huge. Tom Park? I don't

00:31:28.029 --> 00:31:31.130
know, man. I think that you can make a really

00:31:31.130 --> 00:31:34.630
good baseball team if you just base it on Bobcat.

00:31:34.750 --> 00:31:37.130
Did you know? All right, of all my shitty impressions,

00:31:37.190 --> 00:31:38.670
you got to admit that was pretty good impressions.

00:31:38.890 --> 00:31:41.509
That was really good. Police Academy. Great series.

00:31:41.670 --> 00:31:44.910

I'm getting mean girl now by Danny and Matt.

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:26.380
What what don't I know? It's like the oldest

00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:29.680
internet meme ever and remember me remember me

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:34.039
remember me remember that again There was a contest

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.960
this exact sort of contest and it was named my

00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:37.839
boat and they let the internet name the boat

00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.180
And the internet named the boat Boaty McBoat

00:32:40.180 --> 00:32:42.480
face. I always had the best name for a boat.

00:32:42.539 --> 00:32:45.200
Are you ready for it? He's got the whole The

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.599
breakdown my name for a boat is the cirrhosis

00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:55.920
of the river No, okay, fuck you All right, yeah

00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:58.019
Boaty McBoat so now that's even funnier then

00:32:59.169 --> 00:33:02.069
It's even better when I get the joke. Yeah. Who

00:33:02.069 --> 00:33:07.210
would have thought? Yeah, so name the team. I

00:33:07.210 --> 00:33:08.849
want to shoot something downtown and ask around

00:33:08.849 --> 00:33:12.490
and see what people are thinking. Also, I think

00:33:12.490 --> 00:33:16.049
honestly anybody watching this clip, leave a

00:33:16.049 --> 00:33:18.309
note in the comments. Because Jason does watch

00:33:18.309 --> 00:33:19.750
our show, I found out, which is awesome. We'll

00:33:19.750 --> 00:33:22.430
submit that. Leave your team name. Do you think

00:33:22.430 --> 00:33:24.670
we get a cut if we come up with a good name?

00:33:24.730 --> 00:33:27.019
Finder's fee? Yeah, something like that. What

00:33:27.019 --> 00:33:28.380
about the Syracuse Good New York? What if we

00:33:28.380 --> 00:33:30.579
come up with a great baseball name and immediately

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:32.559
trademark it so they have to license it from

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:35.059
us? Dude. Jason, don't listen to this. Yeah.

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:38.759
Stop listening now. Let's do it. Anyway, what

00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:41.000
else is on Tuesday Newsday? Well, I want to say

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:43.500
real quick also quick plug also for the Syracuse

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:45.480
Mets. They're showing Rookie of the Year. We

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.180
talked about this yesterday on Thursday, August

00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:51.680
14th to raise money for charity and twenty five

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:53.359
dollars for adults, ten dollars for kids ages

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:55.380
six to twelve and free for kids five and under.

00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:57.519
Parking is free. Who doesn't want to go see a

00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.500
baseball movie in a baseball stadium? It's it's

00:34:00.500 --> 00:34:02.539
such a fun, such a great idea. And all proceeds

00:34:02.539 --> 00:34:06.480
from the event support the hospice mission. Oh,

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.079
they let you right out on the field. Yeah, you

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:09.760
sit on the field. Oh, that's cool. Isn't that

00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:11.119
great? I thought it was still in the stands.

00:34:11.300 --> 00:34:15.300
No, it's cool. What else is going on? Well, actually,

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:20.320
this whole baseball thing got me thinking, Danny,

00:34:20.380 --> 00:34:22.760
do you have the jingle, the old Syracuse Mets

00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:24.940
jingle? Do you have it pulled up or no? I have

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:27.840
a jingle. Listen to this jingle. And then I have

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.420
a question. No, I wish Danny. Is this like Christmas

00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:47.210
Syracuse? Oh my god. No way this is real. It's

00:34:47.210 --> 00:34:52.590
real. So this got me thinking. Was this written

00:34:52.590 --> 00:34:56.469
in 1985? Let's guess. It was around the 80s.

00:34:56.750 --> 00:34:59.590
I don't know the exact time that it was written,

00:34:59.789 --> 00:35:01.530
but they would play this when they would win.

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.199
which was often rare. This is how David Lee Roth

00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.059
got discovered. So like at the stadium, they're

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:09.300
winning. They're going to play the victory song.

00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:11.280
Yep. This was their victory song. Which I will

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:13.239
write a new jingle if Jason wants me to. I will

00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:15.619
write a jingle for the Syracuse Mats. I want

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:19.159
to just say that. Hold on. What is it? What team

00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:23.960
do they name in this? Or do they? Oh, OK, the

00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:26.260
Chief. I didn't hear the Chief part. OK. So this

00:35:26.260 --> 00:35:32.110
got me thinking. What is your favorite? New York

00:35:32.110 --> 00:35:37.809
-based advertising jingle. Come on, what do you

00:35:37.809 --> 00:35:45.130
got? I got a few queued up for you. Damn. I don't

00:35:45.130 --> 00:35:48.210
know that one. I got a... See, now you... I know.

00:35:48.690 --> 00:35:50.710
Well, while you're thinking... What's the best?

00:35:50.989 --> 00:35:54.510
While you're thinking, I have a few. Yeah, I

00:35:54.510 --> 00:35:59.590
want some answers. And... Mean just pull it out

00:35:59.590 --> 00:36:03.909
here jingle. I mean those jingles People still

00:36:03.909 --> 00:36:07.550
use jingles. Yeah, and I guess that's good. I

00:36:07.550 --> 00:36:20.190
mean, this is a good one to start Oh All right,

00:36:20.190 --> 00:36:22.510
that's the lowest quality fucking copy you could

00:36:22.510 --> 00:36:25.710
ever find it that it's the water safari jingle

00:36:25.869 --> 00:36:29.989
For the wild one. Enchanted forest. Water safari.

00:36:30.289 --> 00:36:32.809
Where the fun never stops. Bam bam. Fun story.

00:36:34.030 --> 00:36:36.789
The only parody, the only parody I've ever made

00:36:36.789 --> 00:36:41.110
in my podcasting career was a parody that I made

00:36:41.110 --> 00:36:45.170
of that Enchanted Forest song. And we blasted

00:36:45.170 --> 00:36:48.969
it out and within 10 minutes, one of the owners

00:36:48.969 --> 00:36:51.769
was threatening to sue us. That's awesome. Yeah.

00:36:52.730 --> 00:36:55.429
That's awesome. You shoulda counter sued for

00:36:55.429 --> 00:36:57.570
the Kilimanjaro so you could have it in your

00:36:57.570 --> 00:36:59.690
backyard. Here's the thing, my partners at the

00:36:59.690 --> 00:37:03.909
time shit themselves. That sucks. We gotta take

00:37:03.909 --> 00:37:07.010
it down, so we did. I was more than happy to

00:37:07.010 --> 00:37:09.329
lean into it, because A, it was fair use, and

00:37:09.329 --> 00:37:11.230
B, it would have been the best publicity we ever

00:37:11.230 --> 00:37:14.690
got at the time. But... How badass are you? That

00:37:14.690 --> 00:37:18.070
was my one and only pair of thoughts. I'll find

00:37:18.070 --> 00:37:19.769
it somewhere. No, I didn't even get that. I just...

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.420
got somebody like hey uh that's a credit to you

00:37:22.420 --> 00:37:24.860
that you were you were that important to them

00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:27.500
that you were on the radar all the way to them

00:37:27.500 --> 00:37:30.539
honestly like it didn't even get massive views

00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:36.719
it was like they were the one and only view i

00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.300
don't even know metro mattress or they used to

00:37:39.300 --> 00:37:41.300
have uh all right i vaguely get uh what's the

00:37:41.300 --> 00:37:45.539
other metro mattress metro the sleep superstore

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:53.519
metro mattress I only vaguely get that one. Oh,

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:57.800
that was when they got all jazzy with it. I like

00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.480
the, the heavy hitters are all you need. Call

00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:03.960
1 -800 -LAW 1333. I think Sean Kelsey wrote that.

00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:08.480
He did? I know him. Um, I don't know. There's

00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:13.199
so many to choose from. That's it. The Zoom Tan

00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:18.389
one. Does this count as a jingle? It's huge!

00:38:18.389 --> 00:38:20.269
It's a tagline. If you want to go taglines, I

00:38:20.269 --> 00:38:22.070
got taglines all day long. Oh, taglines. Like,

00:38:22.130 --> 00:38:24.909
leave off the last S for savings. Come on down,

00:38:25.170 --> 00:38:27.309
Center Court, Riverside Mall, beautiful city

00:38:27.309 --> 00:38:29.269
of Utica. Thank you very much. Utical? Beautiful

00:38:29.269 --> 00:38:31.349
city of Utica, thank you very much. I love Charlie

00:38:31.349 --> 00:38:33.429
Seely. I was very close with his son. I hung

00:38:33.429 --> 00:38:35.309
out, it was like hanging out at a celebrity's

00:38:35.309 --> 00:38:35.989
house when I was a kid. I'm going to ask you

00:38:35.989 --> 00:38:37.849
that offer. In all honesty, get Charlie Seely

00:38:37.849 --> 00:38:39.429
on the show. I'll get him on here in a second.

00:38:39.469 --> 00:38:41.829
I love that man. I used to hang out at his house

00:38:41.829 --> 00:38:44.710
and it was like, my friend was like... Dude,

00:38:44.949 --> 00:38:48.010
stop being weird. It's just my dad. I always

00:38:48.010 --> 00:38:51.409
had a nice pair of leather loafers. Only 15 beans.

00:38:51.590 --> 00:38:54.429
15 beans. Come on down. 12 peppers. 12 peppers.

00:38:55.110 --> 00:38:59.369
God, I love that. Only eight shells. Put your

00:38:59.369 --> 00:39:07.719
favorite... Oh! For Ricky Discovery! Yes! I love

00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.420
Fort Ricky. Holy shit, I forgot about that. You

00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:12.000
know how many were leaving on the table? Is it

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.500
still a thing? I don't know. If it is, those

00:39:15.500 --> 00:39:19.619
animals are a bitch. They're old. Bro, there

00:39:19.619 --> 00:39:23.320
were so many. See, I'm talking about this. It's

00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:25.179
my money and I need it now. You know, there's

00:39:25.179 --> 00:39:27.179
so many, like, tag lines, but I'm trying to think

00:39:27.179 --> 00:39:30.639
of jingles. It's hard. We'll have to revisit

00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:33.860
it. But again, just like the naming contest with

00:39:33.860 --> 00:39:36.000
the Mets, Give us your favorite jingles in the

00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.980
comments. We'll sing them on the show. What's

00:39:37.980 --> 00:39:41.179
funny is there's a Twitch channel that plays

00:39:41.179 --> 00:39:42.960
nothing but retro commercials. It's just called

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:44.800
retro commercials. Phenomenal. I have it on my

00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:49.900
office all day long. I can't remember what I

00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:53.059
was supposed to do 10 minutes from now. But you

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:55.760
remember the song. But somehow I know every single

00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:58.599
word of 95 % of those commercials. 100%. And

00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:00.139
I'll find myself sitting there singing along

00:40:00.139 --> 00:40:03.059
and going, how the fuck? Do I know it's like

00:40:03.059 --> 00:40:06.019
riding a bike man? It's it's a earworm that never

00:40:06.019 --> 00:40:09.559
left. That's that's you know, there's the heyday

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:12.099
of marketing and advertising like literally anytime

00:40:12.099 --> 00:40:14.599
I like hurt myself in a car like even if I bang

00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:16.480
my elbow I'm like call William Mattar hurt in

00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:18.699
a car call William Mattar. It just it stays with

00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:21.340
you. You think that guy would have a career if

00:40:21.340 --> 00:40:24.039
his name didn't rhyme. I think he would have

00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:26.000
had a career. He just wouldn't had a great jingle.

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:30.599
But. Anyway, I want to say this is pretty cool

00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:33.579
Danny if you want to pull up this video a local

00:40:33.579 --> 00:40:38.179
well actually a Syracuse alum who I believe I

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:41.219
I'm paraphrasing, but I think he's got some sort

00:40:41.219 --> 00:40:43.199
of accounting and finance degree He didn't go

00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:46.940
to the Newhouse school. He played Adam Sandler's

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:50.480
stunt double in Happy Gilmore 2 and here's a

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.340
quick video of him talking really yeah. Yeah,

00:40:53.340 --> 00:41:00.860
this is really really cool Oh. Just get an X

00:41:00.860 --> 00:41:04.739
out of that. There we go. Act flop into the water.

00:41:04.860 --> 00:41:06.900
That's him. I had to do the happy Gilmore swing

00:41:06.900 --> 00:41:10.179
and full on flop into the water. And I've never

00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:12.659
done it before. I'm not a stunt double. I remember

00:41:12.659 --> 00:41:15.460
doing this six times. Hair, makeup, new costume.

00:41:15.460 --> 00:41:16.719
How do you get a stunt double gig? At the end

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:17.679
of it, I was exhausted. Yeah, that's what I should

00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:20.780
have figured out. I was cold. I was wet. But

00:41:20.780 --> 00:41:25.039
I would do that. time and time again. And that's

00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:26.039
your whole stunt falling in the water? Well,

00:41:26.099 --> 00:41:27.739
no, but it's less about him being a stunt double,

00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:30.280
more about him being a lookalike. Because he

00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.099
does look like him. He's got the same kind of

00:41:32.099 --> 00:41:35.360
features and profile. Max Kessler is his name.

00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.559
I feel like 40 % of the male population looks

00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:40.920
like Adam Sandler. Yeah. Well, you know. But

00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:43.920
shout out to Max Kessler, SU alum. And I probably

00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:48.300
should have done more research. Quickly also,

00:41:48.300 --> 00:41:50.420
I wanted to talk about I really want to know

00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:52.039
how you get that gig with no experience. This

00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:54.940
is well, I'll follow your what? How about I book

00:41:54.940 --> 00:41:57.239
them on the show? See they make happy or three?

00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.420
I'll be John Daly's body double I'm gonna get

00:41:59.420 --> 00:42:01.099
max Kessler on the show max Kessler if you're

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:03.500
watching or listening Come on, good news York

00:42:03.500 --> 00:42:05.659
sponsored by ads on the go get ads on the go

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:07.960
get calm and it's on the go I want to say this

00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:09.940
one. I don't care about but I'm just curious

00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:15.340
for your reaction to this gay A reality TV star

00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:17.900
opens a new social club in Syracuse. Oh yeah,

00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:23.059
I think I found this. This is Tammy Kay Lee?

00:42:23.340 --> 00:42:25.840
L -Y? Is that how you say it? Lee? L -Y? Will

00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:30.039
open on 300 East Washington Street in Syracuse.

00:42:30.099 --> 00:42:32.820
It's called The Society. She's co -finding it.

00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:35.619
She was on The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise,

00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:39.099
and then part of Million Dollar Listing. And

00:42:39.099 --> 00:42:41.440
she got the idea when she toured a 3 ,000 square

00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.159
foot space with a client who was considering

00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.940
opening a restaurant in LA because she she was

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:51.420
a realtor out there. And yeah, so she she came

00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:54.760
up with this idea to open up a new kind of social

00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:58.000
club. It's also a luxury coffee shop and juice

00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.059
bar. That's what's interesting about it is and

00:43:00.059 --> 00:43:01.739
I guess maybe that's why we call it a social

00:43:01.739 --> 00:43:03.579
club or why they call it a social club. Is that

00:43:03.579 --> 00:43:06.260
code? There's no alcohol. So it's not a bar of

00:43:06.260 --> 00:43:08.849
any sort. But it's that same vibe as you hang

00:43:08.849 --> 00:43:11.530
out with friends and you know enjoy tasty beverages

00:43:11.530 --> 00:43:14.070
Again, and maybe correct me if I'm wrong, but

00:43:14.070 --> 00:43:16.110
I'm assuming that's why it's known as a social

00:43:16.110 --> 00:43:18.650
club No, I think you're right because I was before

00:43:18.650 --> 00:43:20.530
I threw the papers awesome. No, it sounds good.

00:43:20.730 --> 00:43:23.559
But here's here's the thing 10 years ago, I'd

00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:25.920
be like 15 years ago, I'd be like, you're crazy

00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:27.579
that it's it's non alcoholic. It's not going

00:43:27.579 --> 00:43:29.679
to do it. Right. Nobody's drinking anymore. The

00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:32.300
pandemic really made us realize how disgusting

00:43:32.300 --> 00:43:36.320
how we were just disgusting alcoholics. And a

00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:39.480
lot of people quit, including myself. So I don't

00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:41.940
know, I wish them luck. But yeah, I didn't know

00:43:41.940 --> 00:43:43.300
what you thought about that. But we got a little

00:43:43.300 --> 00:43:45.480
reality TV star opening up a place. Any time

00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.199
a new business is opening in our area, we love

00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:50.440
it. Absolutely. You can go to the society CNY

00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:54.380
dot com. Maybe we'll have her. on the show awesome

00:43:54.380 --> 00:43:57.119
and then the last order of business I just think

00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:00.719
this is crazy Marv Levy former coach of the Buffalo

00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:03.820
Bills during the Super Bowl years turned a hundred

00:44:03.820 --> 00:44:06.840
just a few days ago Wow and that got me thinking

00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.940
if you had a choice would you want to live to

00:44:10.940 --> 00:44:14.800
be a hundred sure really as long as I'm not like

00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:18.099
yeah Alzheimer brain cooked that's the last decade

00:44:18.549 --> 00:44:22.210
My whole thing is, this is how I judge. If I

00:44:22.210 --> 00:44:24.510
can give conditions to that answer? That's kind

00:44:24.510 --> 00:44:27.150
of where I'm at, which is, I would want to live

00:44:27.150 --> 00:44:29.929
to be 100, 90, 100, whatever, as long as I'm

00:44:29.929 --> 00:44:32.510
not this old person. You know the people that

00:44:32.510 --> 00:44:36.510
are like... Yeah, they're just fucking gone.

00:44:37.010 --> 00:44:40.550
Just constantly saying no. You know what I mean?

00:44:41.070 --> 00:44:43.489
I don't want to be the shaky old, like, if I'm

00:44:43.489 --> 00:44:47.579
shaking, put me out of my misery. I don't know.

00:44:48.679 --> 00:44:52.219
It's a lot of work. We're going to get canceled

00:44:52.219 --> 00:44:54.320
for that. We're going to get canceled? No. All

00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:57.579
right, good. Man, I love you. This was fun. Yeah.

00:44:58.860 --> 00:45:01.800
What else? Anything we good? There was one other

00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:06.940
thing in the news. We got. That is, and you might

00:45:06.940 --> 00:45:10.099
go, you know, I sent this over to you. Oh. Last

00:45:10.099 --> 00:45:12.599
night. My fault. And you said to me. I'm sorry.

00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:16.000
I forgot. No, that's fine. You said to me. Balby.

00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:19.099
Damn it, Mikey. This is a story about an accident

00:45:19.099 --> 00:45:22.280
in Pennsylvania. Oh, I thought you were talking

00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:24.579
about King of the Hill. No, no. OK. King of the

00:45:24.579 --> 00:45:26.079
Hill's coming back on Hulu. There's that story.

00:45:26.380 --> 00:45:27.800
And here's what happened. I'll just give you

00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:28.619
the rundown. You don't have to pull anything

00:45:28.619 --> 00:45:31.760
up there. What about this? A truckload of hot

00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:34.599
dogs spilled across a Pennsylvania highway after

00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.679
a crash, clogging the road for hours. Glizzies.

00:45:38.820 --> 00:45:41.789
Glizzies. Four days. And it is reported by NBC

00:45:41.789 --> 00:45:43.150
New York, but I was like, but that happened in

00:45:43.150 --> 00:45:45.389
Pennsylvania. And you said, well, that's good

00:45:45.389 --> 00:45:47.489
news for New York. And I thought that was brilliant.

00:45:47.889 --> 00:45:49.929
That's why this is good news, York, is because

00:45:49.929 --> 00:45:51.349
Pennsylvania was the one that had to deal with

00:45:51.349 --> 00:45:55.409
that glizzy mess. It is ironic, I will tell you,

00:45:55.849 --> 00:45:57.849
having being someone who traveled recently and

00:45:57.849 --> 00:45:59.869
drove through Pennsylvania, got stuck in Pennsylvania

00:45:59.869 --> 00:46:03.570
traffic. Worst. I have never in my life. gone

00:46:03.570 --> 00:46:06.530
on a trip across the country and not gotten stuck

00:46:06.530 --> 00:46:08.510
in traffic in Pennsylvania. I feel like they're

00:46:08.510 --> 00:46:10.590
just a magnet for it. Like, is there construction?

00:46:10.829 --> 00:46:14.409
No. Okay. Dump a load of hot dogs. What's the

00:46:14.409 --> 00:46:17.510
reason to stop everybody today? When you're traveling

00:46:17.510 --> 00:46:21.840
down the East Coast. I would dare say that Pennsylvania

00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:25.420
and Virginia are the worst parts of, and no offense,

00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:27.519
they're beautiful states, I love them, but as

00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:29.420
far as just driving through, and you're right,

00:46:29.579 --> 00:46:32.460
it's always some bullshit. Do you think it would

00:46:32.460 --> 00:46:34.960
make, would it make you less mad, more mad, or

00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:38.059
the same if you're in traffic, you're stuck,

00:46:38.300 --> 00:46:40.880
you finally get to what the hell is going on,

00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:43.519
and you realize it's hot dogs? Is that like,

00:46:43.539 --> 00:46:45.800
oh, that's funny, I'm not as mad as if it was

00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.860
an accident? Yeah, I'd probably find a little

00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:49.139
bit of amusement. Yeah, it would be a little

00:46:49.139 --> 00:46:50.679
better, right? In all honesty, if they're going

00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:52.059
to back up traffic, at least they could do is

00:46:52.059 --> 00:46:53.699
start cooking them fuckers and maybe hand out

00:46:53.699 --> 00:46:55.780
some glizzies. Wow, you are genius, dude. They

00:46:55.780 --> 00:46:57.920
should have just... Oh my God, how do you clean

00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.300
it up faster? Pick them up and start handing

00:47:00.300 --> 00:47:01.860
out the hot dogs to everybody stuck in traffic?

00:47:01.860 --> 00:47:03.719
I would do that. You know, the car's stuck, listen,

00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:05.420
it's going to be a couple hours. All right, guys,

00:47:05.739 --> 00:47:07.480
hop out and just start grilling. And I'll go

00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:08.960
a step further. Let's say you're the owner of

00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:10.940
that company. That's fucking free promotion.

00:47:11.260 --> 00:47:13.019
And other dads in their cars jump out, stand

00:47:13.019 --> 00:47:14.659
around, tell you when to turn the dog. Glizzies

00:47:14.659 --> 00:47:16.960
all around. Why wouldn't you do that? Turn it

00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:18.800
into a party. Because if you have to clean it

00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:20.659
up, you're gonna have to pick up the hot dogs.

00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:21.980
What are you gonna do with them? You give them

00:47:21.980 --> 00:47:22.780
to the people stuck in traffic. Do you know how

00:47:22.780 --> 00:47:25.679
many horses we wasted for all that? A ton of

00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:30.800
horses. That's horse shit. Anyway. It is Good

00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:38.260
That's me. That is you. You do not look like

00:47:38.260 --> 00:47:41.260
a country singer with your hat on. I envy you

00:47:41.260 --> 00:47:42.559
for that. I feel like I could probably pass for

00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:44.719
a country singer. Oh, easily. You look like one

00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:46.320
of those, like, the outlaw, like, the Waylon

00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:47.820
Jennings type. Yeah, I do the hillbillies. Like,

00:47:47.820 --> 00:47:50.480
I look like one of those douchey, um, Zach Bryant.

00:47:50.780 --> 00:47:54.579
Never even call me by my... Okay. Yeah. You could...

00:47:54.579 --> 00:47:56.980
You would rip at that. Dude. Just singing about,

00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:00.079
like, real, real hillbilly shit. Like, I took

00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:03.579
a man outside, pulled off his overalls and shot

00:48:03.579 --> 00:48:05.519
him in the neck. You know, there aren't many

00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:07.639
advantages to being the most Caucasian person

00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:09.699
on the planet, but... Oh, you are not. A country

00:48:09.699 --> 00:48:12.719
music career is one of them. You've got great...

00:48:12.699 --> 00:48:16.239
Features for like characters or just in general,

00:48:16.500 --> 00:48:18.139
you know with the glasses and the beard you got

00:48:18.139 --> 00:48:20.780
a great look You got a great look man. All right,

Zach Bryant? Fuck! Did you just have a stroke?

00:48:44.630 --> 00:48:49.409
I think you started the show! I do! I don't!

00:48:49.489 --> 00:48:51.210
I've never done that before, but yeah, I do.

We're gonna try this all over again. Zach Braff!

and make it a blooper reel. No, okay, yeah.
