2
00:00:04.809 --> 00:00:07.910
world and the official hard seltzer of Day Drinking With Dog.
3
00:00:08.429 --> 00:00:12.330
Diss them all, add tequila. Welcome back to Day Drinking
4
00:00:12.349 --> 00:00:16.550
With Dog. It is year four for me. Tor Blackstead
5
00:00:16.870 --> 00:00:20.440
is back on the show with the Milford Turkey Trot that.
6
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:24.039
Is just growing and growing and growing.
7
00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:27.519
And welcome back to the show first of all thank
8
00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:29.660
you we just had a fun little uh pre-show talk
9
00:00:29.699 --> 00:00:31.339
here we're gonna talk some of the stuff we were
10
00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:34.119
just talking about but um we'll lead right in with
11
00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:38.960
the turkey trot um this is overall year six six
12
00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:42.500
okay so i missed the first two uh we were
13
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.740
just talking i went to four years ago now i
14
00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:46.479
went to the first one but i just stopped by
15
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.219
to say hi and i think i bought some raffle
16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.820
tickets or something And walked out with a beer.
17
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.479
Then the second year was the rainbow, we call it.
18
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:55.259
It was the joy.
19
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:55.759
Yes.
20
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.159
We had laser tag, we had the rum runners, and
21
00:00:58.179 --> 00:00:58.679
we had mud.
22
00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:01.060
Yeah. But you know what, though? You guys made it work,
23
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.229
because you had the big tent out there. I remember
24
00:01:03.250 --> 00:01:05.650
standing and huddling under the tent. And the heaters. And
25
00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:08.209
the heaters, yeah. Thank God the neighbors have heaters. The
26
00:01:08.269 --> 00:01:09.569
end of November, you never know where you're going to
27
00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:12.269
get here in Connecticut. I mean, if it's like this
28
00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:14.500
weather today, or this last couple days, oh my God.
29
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.780
It's beautiful out. It's a perfect testament to Milford, though.
30
00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:17.900
Yeah.
31
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.209
The neighbors came together. Anyone who had a 10x10 brought it.
32
00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:22.829
Anyone who had a space heater brought it.
33
00:01:22.969 --> 00:01:23.450
I loved it.
34
00:01:23.969 --> 00:01:27.760
I hated it, but loved it. Then last year, we
35
00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:29.000
switched venues.
36
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.049
You switched venues. We were down behind the library, which
37
00:01:33.069 --> 00:01:36.620
was fantastic. but you just brought me some bad news
38
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.879
that we're going to be back up by the natatorium,
39
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:41.989
which is fine, but this is probably the last year
40
00:01:42.049 --> 00:01:43.969
that you'll be permanently, because they're doing construction down there.
41
00:01:44.049 --> 00:01:45.950
You're going to get kicked out, let's say.
42
00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:48.310
Once that road is done and it's all pretty and
43
00:01:48.329 --> 00:01:50.810
we've got that, we call it the greenway or whatever
44
00:01:50.859 --> 00:01:52.900
by the water, we'll be down there forever. And we
45
00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:54.500
had the permit there. It was supposed to be there.
46
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.959
The construction timing changed. So nothing we could do.
47
00:01:57.219 --> 00:01:58.849
We'll make it work. Oh, you know what?
48
00:01:58.870 --> 00:02:00.569
I was down there, but I didn't notice it.
49
00:02:00.590 --> 00:02:03.250
I was down there for the Irish Fest or Oktoberfest
50
00:02:03.290 --> 00:02:06.769
or something. One of them was in the monsoon. You
51
00:02:06.790 --> 00:02:08.530
call it Nor'easter up here. One of them was in
52
00:02:08.569 --> 00:02:11.050
that Nor'easter. Yeah, that was the Saturday night. We went
53
00:02:11.069 --> 00:02:14.349
the Friday night before, or vice versa. One of them. Yeah,
54
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.699
we wouldn't have gone if it wasn't fucking monsoon. We're like, yeah,
55
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.300
we'll just stay in. I'm getting old, Thor.
56
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.960
I was under 50 when we first started talking. I'm
57
00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:24.259
getting old. I'm trying to do sports and things, and
58
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:25.360
I'm getting all beat up now.
59
00:02:25.419 --> 00:02:26.000
It sucks.
60
00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:28.860
You're not doing sports. You're just bringing your kids to sports.
61
00:02:29.379 --> 00:02:33.469
I started men's basketball. Oh, you're in the men's league? Yeah.
62
00:02:33.669 --> 00:02:36.770
I was doing pickleball for a while, and I excelled
63
00:02:36.810 --> 00:02:39.169
at my pickleball, so the group invited me to go
64
00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.550
play basketball with them now that it's winter sports. Went
65
00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:44.229
one week, almost broke a rib.
66
00:02:45.229 --> 00:02:48.210
I got, you know, C6 and 7 and my neck
67
00:02:48.250 --> 00:02:50.740
are all fucked up. I got bone spurs in my feet.
68
00:02:50.789 --> 00:02:53.120
I got a shoulder from bartending for 30 years that's
69
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.639
fucked up. But it never affects me golfing, though. No,
70
00:02:56.659 --> 00:03:01.379
I'm serious. It's weird. Like, the only time I feel, like,
71
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.659
sore after golf is, like, when I haven't golfed in
72
00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:05.699
a while. And you just, there's muscles you use.
73
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.080
That, you know, twisting, turning. It's just totally different.
74
00:03:08.539 --> 00:03:11.240
Yeah. But it never affected my rotation on my swing
75
00:03:11.259 -->
Load full transcript
00:03:14.750
and I never, even my feet are fine. I mean,
76
00:03:14.789 --> 00:03:17.610
I got the insoles and all that Dr. Scholl shit, but.
77
00:03:17.949 --> 00:03:20.310
I find that some of my best golf rounds are
78
00:03:20.349 --> 00:03:23.789
when I'm slightly injured or immobilized because there's no.
79
00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:26.449
Grip and rip. Right. Yeah, and you don't think about
80
00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:26.930
it as much.
81
00:03:27.270 --> 00:03:29.530
Use the technology. You're spending so much money on those clubs.
82
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:30.810
You just got to use them.
83
00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:32.780
You know, we were just talking in the show. I
84
00:03:32.819 --> 00:03:34.560
was kind of fed up with this year and had
85
00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:36.879
a good round my last round and kind of, all right,
86
00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:37.419
I'll be back.
87
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.300
But honestly, I really think I need at least a
88
00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:41.319
new driver because.
89
00:03:43.229 --> 00:03:46.050
They die after a while. Like, they just lose their oomph.
90
00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:49.030
And I got this driver got to be 10 years ago.
91
00:03:49.830 --> 00:03:52.370
And it just sounds different when I hit it now. Like,
92
00:03:52.409 --> 00:03:55.120
if I crank one, it's going 250. I used to
93
00:03:55.129 --> 00:03:57.900
be able to hit 3, 310. Not all the time.
94
00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:00.780
But if I really connected, it was going 300 yards.
95
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.080
Now it's like I pound it. I mean, I'm not
96
00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:05.520
a couple years older, but you know what I mean?
97
00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:07.080
It's not that much of a difference. It's not that
98
00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:09.000
much of a difference. And that's with the new driver? Yeah.
99
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.419
No, no, no. I'm saying I think I'm going to
100
00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:13.060
get a new driver.
101
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.280
Oh, got it. Probably like a last year's model and
102
00:04:15.310 --> 00:04:17.949
save like $ 300. But I want a brand new one
103
00:04:17.990 --> 00:04:21.629
this year to start. And I don't know. It's just weird.
104
00:04:21.810 --> 00:04:23.649
I just feel like my clubs, I don't know if
105
00:04:23.730 --> 00:04:25.089
I've just had them too long.
106
00:04:25.810 --> 00:04:28.250
It's a good excuse, though, right? It's a great excuse.
107
00:04:28.269 --> 00:04:30.389
I'm not hitting it like I used to.
108
00:04:30.750 --> 00:04:33.839
I actually bought irons when I was the caddy master
109
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.500
at a country club in Minnesota back in high school.
110
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.939
And I've been using those my entire life up until...
111
00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:43.819
And the last tournament, which was Tuesday of last week,
112
00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:47.399
where my buddy from the same country club in Minnesota
113
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.019
went
and bought me new irons because it was embarrassing
114
00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:52.439
that I was still using 20-something-year-old irons.
115
00:04:52.459 --> 00:04:55.300
And he goes, here, take them. I could probably still
116
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.259
use the irons. They don't go bad. They don't go bad.
117
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.279
They're not hollow. I mean, these drivers are hollow.
118
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.259
The new ones are really nice.
119
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.459
I know. So my irons are actually older than my drivers,
120
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.660
and my irons are probably 13 years old. But it's
121
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:08.279
an investment.
122
00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:10.870
You can look at the club face and be like, oh,
123
00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:12.470
I hit that off the toe. Oh, I hit that
124
00:05:12.509 --> 00:05:15.470
off the heel. But it still goes exactly where I
125
00:05:15.509 --> 00:05:18.589
want because of the technology. I'm telling you. It's incredible.
126
00:05:19.029 --> 00:05:20.189
All right. You just convinced me.
127
00:05:20.310 --> 00:05:25.430
They're not blades. They're not player irons. They're game improvement irons.
128
00:05:25.589 --> 00:05:26.310
I have no shame.
129
00:05:26.870 --> 00:05:30.579
I remember my buddy used to work for Callaway. This
130
00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:31.420
guy's name is Josh.
131
00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:33.759
He was from Milford. He since retired and moved to Florida.
132
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.660
But he was a rep for them. When I was
133
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.259
in the market to buy Callaways, actually, I was in
134
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:40.560
the market to buy new clubs. And me and my
135
00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:43.560
friends were out in Hawaii. And we rented clubs, whatever
136
00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:46.120
course we were at in Hawaii. That's dangerous. And they
137
00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:50.149
gave me Diablos, which were Callaways. And I hit the
138
00:05:50.189 --> 00:05:51.689
irons really well. So, of course, I come home.
139
00:05:51.930 --> 00:05:54.170
And he literally said to me, he goes, I've golfed
140
00:05:54.209 --> 00:05:54.449
with you.
141
00:05:54.949 --> 00:05:59.189
Okay? I'm telling you, you probably just liked them that day.
142
00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:03.079
He goes, get the OSs. You can't miss with the OSs.
143
00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:05.110
And I'm like, what are those? Oversized.
144
00:06:05.250 --> 00:06:08.689
He goes, they're not legitimate for fucking PGA Tour. But
145
00:06:08.790 --> 00:06:09.420
I'll get you a set.
146
00:06:09.430 --> 00:06:11.029
But we're not PGA Tour. He goes, I'll get you
147
00:06:11.050 --> 00:06:13.410
a set of OSs. You will never miss the ball.
148
00:06:13.910 --> 00:06:15.490
You're not going to hit it straight every time. But
149
00:06:16.250 --> 00:06:18.029
you're also not going to miss the ball. I was
150
00:06:18.050 --> 00:06:21.920
too fucking stubborn. And I got the Diablos. Actually, I
151
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.800
gave those to Braden. Braden has those now. So I
152
00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:26.980
take him golf, and he's got them. And then I
153
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.810
end up buying an OS. What do I got? Top
154
00:06:29.829 --> 00:06:32.370
flights or something? I don't know. But I think it's time.
155
00:06:32.389 --> 00:06:33.750
It's time. It's time, classy.
156
00:06:34.470 --> 00:06:35.810
I don't know if it was a friend or a
157
00:06:35.829 --> 00:06:38.540
golfer or something on TV, but someone said the difference
158
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.490
between an average amateur and a pro. Isn't that you
159
00:06:42.509 --> 00:06:45.529
can hit a 310 down the middle or that you're
160
00:06:45.629 --> 00:06:47.769
sitting pretty. It's that second shot.
161
00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:48.129
Yeah.
162
00:06:48.370 --> 00:06:50.370
A pro is always going to hit it on the green.
163
00:06:50.410 --> 00:06:50.569
Yeah.
164
00:06:50.910 --> 00:06:54.069
Whereas you or I or 90% of the other guys,
165
00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:56.310
we can easily duff that, shank that.
166
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.019
Yeah. That's why long drive competitions, you don't see those
167
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.899
guys playing on tour. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And the putting
168
00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:07.819
and everything else that goes into it. Like they know exactly,
169
00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:10.290
you know. I have a range in my head of
170
00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:13.889
about 15 yards, right? From my sand wedge to my
171
00:07:13.930 --> 00:07:15.629
pitching wedge, my 9-iron all the way down, I go
172
00:07:15.670 --> 00:07:19.170
about 15-yard increments. Until I get to about my 6-iron,
173
00:07:19.209 --> 00:07:21.730
I'm like, I can't hit a 5-iron 170. So now
174
00:07:21.750 --> 00:07:25.110
I'm going to the rescues and all that. But there's
175
00:07:25.149 --> 00:07:28.670
just some shots. I mean, you've been to golf tournaments before,
176
00:07:28.709 --> 00:07:31.389
like PGA tournaments. Yeah. Have you seen these guys play?
177
00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:33.370
Hazeltine, Minnesota, all the time.
178
00:07:33.670 --> 00:07:35.790
I used to go to TPC Sawgrass in Florida.
179
00:07:37.490 --> 00:07:40.649
We go up to the Hartford one. It's just amazing
180
00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:44.050
to see how these guys fucking just... It's a different caliber.
181
00:07:44.110 --> 00:07:46.990
Yeah, I was at a TPC... What's the first? The
182
00:07:47.029 --> 00:07:49.750
Waste Management Tour in Phoenix. Yeah. The drunk one.
183
00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:52.949
The one where everyone's throwing beers constantly. Don't make your
184
00:07:52.990 --> 00:07:54.250
putt on whatever green that is.
185
00:07:54.269 --> 00:07:56.069
Because you're going to be soaked. Me and my buddy
186
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.519
flew out there, and we had a friend that was...
187
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.639
He worked at Yale, and he was a barback
on
188
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.959
the 16th. It's the 16th, right? It's a par three.
189
00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:06.199
I don't know. They all surround it. And he was
190
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.620
a barback, and he got us in, and we were
191
00:08:07.660 --> 00:08:09.560
on the top level. And we ended up meeting people...
192
00:08:09.910 --> 00:08:12.350
It's crazy from New Haven mass mutual. And they've been,
193
00:08:12.370 --> 00:08:15.329
they were at Stonebridge a week prior. We are, you know,
194
00:08:15.410 --> 00:08:17.230
we never know who you're going to run into. World's
195
00:08:17.269 --> 00:08:17.810
not that big.
196
00:08:17.829 --> 00:08:22.949
So we took a walk and we were walking back.
197
00:08:22.990 --> 00:08:26.689
I think 15, it was like 14 green, 15 T.
198
00:08:26.730 --> 00:08:30.420
We kind of walked up and, uh, the heck's the
199
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.580
guy's name. He's the one, he's like the Indian guy
200
00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:36.679
with like a fucking million kids. Sing. No, no, no.
201
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:42.370
Uh, not that old. Uh, Anyway, he hits his ball.
202
00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:46.049
Shit, I'm old. Yeah. He hits his ball. Singh's old.
203
00:08:46.090 --> 00:08:48.629
He's got to be 60. He hits his ball, and
204
00:08:48.649 --> 00:08:52.370
it lands. We're standing right there. It lands on a
205
00:08:52.389 --> 00:08:55.539
sprinkler head in the rough. So he walks up to
206
00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:58.480
the ball, and the guy comes over, the rules guy,
207
00:08:58.500 --> 00:08:59.639
and says, you get a free drop.
208
00:08:59.779 --> 00:09:02.659
He goes, no, I like this lie. And we're all
209
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.860
standing there like, what? He was like 230 out.
210
00:09:06.789 --> 00:09:07.080
It's on a tee.
211
00:09:07.190 --> 00:09:09.529
He smoked it off the fucking sprinkler.
212
00:09:09.610 --> 00:09:11.860
It was on a tee. Like 10 feet from the pin.
213
00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:13.179
Like everyone was going crazy.
214
00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:15.240
Like these guys are just, they used to have that
215
00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:16.039
ad campaign.
216
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:16.940
Like these guys are good.
217
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.019
They really are.
218
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.419
I mean, it's, it's, it's up. And they're like, you
219
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.720
see these guys hit it so fucking hard and far.
220
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.909
And they're like, they probably can't betch 170.
221
00:09:26.909 --> 00:09:29.279
No, but it's a different muscle. It's different.
222
00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:30.320
It's torque.
223
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.740
The taller guys can hit it farther.
224
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.039
And it's tempo, and it's smooth, and more than anything,
225
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:35.899
it's consistency.
226
00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:37.559
And they have the best equipment, too.
227
00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:39.860
The difference of hitting on
their clubs, the difference of
228
00:09:39.899 --> 00:09:43.320
hitting the ball by a couple pins, right or left
229
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.980
or up or down, means the ball is going to
230
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:45.940
do something completely different.
231
00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:46.120
Right.
232
00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:48.970
Whereas, as I was saying earlier, I bought clubs specifically
233
00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:50.580
so that I can hit it on the toe. I
234
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:51.450
can hit it on the heel.
235
00:09:51.450 --> 00:09:53.509
It's still gonna work and it's gonna correct itself and
236
00:09:53.610 --> 00:09:56.710
go where i want generally in the same direction.
237
00:09:56.419 --> 00:09:58.820
You gotta tell you gotta email me or text me
238
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:00.879
what kind of clubs you have it is the most
239
00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:04.679
forgiving i had what brand is it it's ping g440s
240
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.350
ping g440s they are great you can go higher and
241
00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:11.250
you can get like a 740 or something like that
242
00:10:11.389 --> 00:10:13.879
oh yeah but they just look They just look like
243
00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:15.100
everything's a hybrid iron.
244
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.779
Oh, okay. Mine has a little bubble in the back? Yeah. Okay.
245
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:19.899
That's the sevens. Yes.
246
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.139
So the fours is like one step down from the
247
00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:23.860
most extreme of helping.
248
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.820
Got you. And I love it. And it's great.
249
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.450
I played exactly one scramble so far with these. And
250
00:10:29.590 --> 00:10:31.850
it was kind of comical for me. I think my
251
00:10:31.950 --> 00:10:35.009
team was pretty annoyed because almost every shot I said, hey, guys,
252
00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:36.509
this is the first time I've ever swung this club.
253
00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:40.230
And it went pretty well.
254
00:10:40.289 --> 00:10:42.509
There were a couple shots where I was 15, 20
255
00:10:42.509 --> 00:10:45.120
yards too long. But that's just because of the technology.
256
00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:47.600
That's where the driving range comes in. And you figure
257
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:50.019
out your distances. But you figure it out. I was
258
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.539
a caddy for 10 plus years. I can club myself
259
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.399
after a few swings.
260
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.700
Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, pretty excited. So you know, too,
261
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.960
like when you hit a shot and you're like, you
262
00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:01.879
just hit it so pure and you're like, fuck, this
263
00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:04.000
is going way over. Yeah. Oh, I wasn't supposed to
264
00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:05.600
hit it that good. Yeah.
265
00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:07.980
And then sometimes it's funny because it'll bite me in
266
00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:09.980
the ass. On my old clubs, I'd be like, oh.
267
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.659
I bladed the shit out of that. And everyone's sitting
268
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.710
there like, looks pretty good to us. Yeah. And like.
269
00:11:15.149 --> 00:11:17.009
It doesn't go as far as I think it's going to.
270
00:11:17.330 --> 00:11:19.090
Number one, I'm older. Number two, the clubs are old
271
00:11:19.169 --> 00:11:21.389
as shit. Like all this stuff. So it ends up
272
00:11:21.409 --> 00:11:22.750
right next to the cup. And I was like, I
273
00:11:22.769 --> 00:11:25.049
probably should have just kept my mouth shut. Yeah. Sorry, guys.
274
00:11:25.309 --> 00:11:27.889
I had a friend who was a pro at Grassy
275
00:11:27.909 --> 00:11:32.000
Hill years ago, 20-something years ago. And he went out
276
00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:35.200
with us one day. It's kind of like a free lesson,
277
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:36.840
but let us go out. Yeah.
278
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.519
And it was him, his wife, me.
279
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.730
He's giving you tips along the way.
280
00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:40.519
He's giving us tips along the way.
281
00:11:40.539 --> 00:11:42.799
I love that. We're on that really long par five
282
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:47.950
coming back towards the street. 16, I think it is.
283
00:11:48.169 --> 00:11:50.659
I felt I duffed a drive, but I ended up
284
00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:52.330
hitting it like 230, 240.
285
00:11:52.299 --> 00:11:53.279
With the creek in the middle.
286
00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:53.659
Yeah.
287
00:11:53.820 --> 00:11:55.240
Yeah, at the end.
288
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.269
Yeah, 16. And he turns to me and he goes,
289
00:11:57.549 --> 00:12:00.830
you know you're getting good when you fucking hit one
290
00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:02.350
240 and you're mad at yourself.
291
00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:05.340
Now, meanwhile, this guy steps up and hits it fucking.
292
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.299
40 yards past me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go, yeah, no.
293
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.379
It's just, you know when you hit it. You know
294
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:11.759
when you feel like you hit it good.
295
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:13.720
It's pure. Yeah, and I don't even, sometimes I don't
296
00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:14.980
even care where it goes. I'm just like, I'm just
297
00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:16.580
glad I made really good contact with it. But that's
298
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.779
true of so many sports. I used to get that
299
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.179
in baseball, you know, 25 years ago. Right.
300
00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:26.000
Golf, I mean, anytime there's metal hitting an object and
301
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.580
you hit it pure, it's such a sensation of euphoria
302
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.750
and It's so great. It's the same thing when you
303
00:12:32.769 --> 00:12:34.909
hit a home run in baseball. We were talking about baseball.
304
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.220
You see these guys hit the
ball, and they have
305
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.240
wood bats, or were younger using metal bats. You hit it,
306
00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:44.240
it's barely past the pitcher, and they're already doing the
307
00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:45.259
bat toss because they know.
308
00:12:45.659 --> 00:12:49.110
They felt it, and it's just such a great feeling.
309
00:12:49.289 --> 00:12:52.289
Funny, you had that. I was a caddy master at
310
00:12:52.330 --> 00:12:55.250
this course in Minnesota, and the pro was a guy
311
00:12:55.269 --> 00:12:57.850
named Dick Walters, and he was so embarrassed with how
312
00:12:57.909 --> 00:13:01.690
bad I was at golf. That between when the morning
313
00:13:02.009 --> 00:13:03.600
crews would all go out and all the caddies were
314
00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:05.080
out and the golfers and there's like an hour, an
315
00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:06.360
hour and a half dead time.
316
00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:06.860
Yeah.
317
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:08.519
And when they start coming back and new people could
318
00:13:08.539 --> 00:13:10.379
go out because the course is full, we'd go up
319
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.759
on the range and we'd just hit. And we'd grab
320
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.639
clubs off the demo rack and hit. And he'd come
321
00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:15.840
up and he would tweak and move and twist and bend.
322
00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:17.950
And I was down in single digits in high school
323
00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:18.799
and early college.
324
00:13:18.850 --> 00:13:22.210
Oh, that's awesome. Then you stop playing. Yeah.
325
00:13:22.710 --> 00:13:24.809
I'm a 15 now because I had a great round.
326
00:13:24.889 --> 00:13:26.309
Yeah. I'm a 25. I should be an 18, 19. Yeah.
327
00:13:30.009 --> 00:13:31.509
were you like a four caddy or you were a
328
00:13:31.529 --> 00:13:34.730
personal caddy uh i've done both four caddy was very
329
00:13:34.769 --> 00:13:37.269
rare so at this course it was i.
330
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.139
Was the caddy master at the end of the game
331
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.519
okay but i started out as a measly little b
332
00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:43.500
caddy then you get a caddy then an honor caddy
333
00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:45.960
and you carry one bag or you carry two bags
334
00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:49.139
and you're carrying the bags it's old school yeah and
335
00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:51.759
you put the bag down and you say sir it's
336
00:13:52.110 --> 00:13:54.610
you know so many yards i'd recommend you use your
337
00:13:54.629 --> 00:13:57.460
seven iron so i need my eight iron like Sir,
338
00:13:57.500 --> 00:13:59.360
I've seen you play four holes. You should really use
339
00:13:59.399 --> 00:13:59.980
your seven iron.
340
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.919
He hits the eight iron.
341
00:14:01.940 --> 00:14:03.779
He's 10 yards short. He's like, okay, I'll listen to
342
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.669
you next time. It's funny what people think. If you
343
00:14:07.710 --> 00:14:10.230
know the course, I can walk up to a putt
344
00:14:10.470 --> 00:14:13.730
on holes at that course and say, hey, you need
345
00:14:13.750 --> 00:14:16.470
to go three inches right and four inches past it
346
00:14:16.509 --> 00:14:19.250
or 18 inches past it. On 18, it was this
347
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.840
crazy bowl. You'd have to aim 12 feet right and
348
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.730
16 feet past it And it.
349
00:14:24.730 --> 00:14:26.350
Would still roll down. Right.
350
00:14:26.370 --> 00:14:28.370
It was crazy. But you know that after you walk
351
00:14:28.389 --> 00:14:29.409
the course 10,000 times.
352
00:14:29.470 --> 00:14:31.950
Yeah. There's a couple courses around here. I know exactly
353
00:14:31.970 --> 00:14:33.379
where to hit it. Doesn't mean I hit it there,
354
00:14:33.429 --> 00:14:35.419
but I know where I want to go. But these
355
00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:37.519
guys are playing two, three times a week. I was
356
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.519
with one last golf story. We'll get back to Turkey. Oh, yeah.
357
00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:44.220
I'm in. It's called Carnegie Abbey. It's in Newport, Rhode Island.
358
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.210
And we had a trip going out there for the
359
00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:52.990
United States. Well, it was a trip for a liquor distributor.
360
00:14:53.490 --> 00:14:55.629
And they invited me and another kid from Stonebridge. And
361
00:14:55.669 --> 00:14:57.450
we played golf at this place. It was beautiful. The
362
00:14:57.529 --> 00:15:01.029
last hole was like Pebble Beach's hole. Waves crashing on
363
00:15:01.049 --> 00:15:03.049
the water. It just went the other way instead of
364
00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:05.879
this way. Anyway, we're at some random hole.
365
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.240
We had a four caddy. So he had... Those are
366
00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:08.620
the best.
367
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.360
He had two bags.
368
00:15:09.460 --> 00:15:11.720
One on his shoulder and then the other one, whatever.
369
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.139
We're on the green. And we're about to putt. And
370
00:15:17.179 --> 00:15:20.490
I just hear this humming sound. All of a sudden,
371
00:15:20.529 --> 00:15:23.149
the caddy goes, Get down! Get down!
372
00:15:23.740 --> 00:15:24.139
We're like, what?
373
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.840
He's like, get down.
374
00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.960
So we just fucking got down.
375
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.669
On the green. On the green. A fucking black cloud
376
00:15:31.710 --> 00:15:35.049
of bees flew over our head. Biggest swarm of bees
377
00:15:35.070 --> 00:15:37.330
I've ever seen in my life. And he's like, you
378
00:15:37.350 --> 00:15:37.730
guys good?
379
00:15:37.750 --> 00:15:40.570
And this is a good course? This is Carnegie Abbey.
380
00:15:40.610 --> 00:15:42.269
It's probably fucking $ 500 a play if.
381
00:15:42.250 --> 00:15:42.889
It's not private.
382
00:15:43.429 --> 00:15:45.289
So fucking, boom.
383
00:15:45.710 --> 00:15:46.269
We get up.
384
00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:48.889
We're like, what the fuck was that? He's like, oh,
385
00:15:48.909 --> 00:15:50.429
that's just bees. It happens a lot.
386
00:15:50.929 --> 00:15:53.049
But you guys can't be standing when they come by.
387
00:15:53.149 --> 00:15:55.240
I'm like, that's, you know, you go to Florida, they
388
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:56.700
like watch out for the alligator, you know.
389
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.980
Like here we're watching out for fucking, I mean, it's like,
390
00:15:59.259 --> 00:16:01.389
it's like it got dark out. That's how big the
391
00:16:01.429 --> 00:16:02.610
swarm was. I couldn't believe it.
392
00:16:03.450 --> 00:16:05.610
I mean, way before fucking cell phone videos and shit.
393
00:16:05.629 --> 00:16:07.629
We just went down and told the story that we
394
00:16:07.649 --> 00:16:08.179
survived it.
395
00:16:08.190 --> 00:16:09.009
That's awful.
396
00:16:09.070 --> 00:16:09.590
That's awful.
397
00:16:09.690 --> 00:16:11.070
And I'm sure when it happened, it.
398
00:16:11.070 --> 00:16:14.269
Was like 12 bees. And now it's the locust. I'm
399
00:16:14.309 --> 00:16:14.769
telling you.
400
00:16:14.789 --> 00:16:15.769
From biblical times.
401
00:16:15.909 --> 00:16:18.500
I'm telling you. I'm going to Google it later and
402
00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:19.389
just be like, it's a problem.
403
00:16:19.409 --> 00:16:20.000
You should have.
404
00:16:19.929 --> 00:16:22.500
Seen that walleye I caught 25 years ago.
405
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:27.600
We played well, too, that day. That hole, so the 18th,
406
00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:30.379
that's like Pebble Beach, but goes the other way. Yeah.
407
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.620
Best shot of the day I had there.
408
00:16:33.289 --> 00:16:35.750
I usually slice everything, so I'm like, I'm going in
409
00:16:35.769 --> 00:16:37.429
the fucking water. I'm just going to slice it right
410
00:16:37.450 --> 00:16:37.950
into the water.
411
00:16:37.970 --> 00:16:38.669
Get a little drop.
412
00:16:38.970 --> 00:16:41.870
I actually fucking drew it back, hit it about 270,
413
00:16:41.870 --> 00:16:43.269
landed right in the middle of the fairway. We used
414
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.740
our drive. I'm like, all right, I'm done. Nice. I'm done.
415
00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:45.990
Let's go.
416
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.240
Let's go drink. Yeah. Where's the 19? We were bar
417
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.639
hopping in Newport all night. Had a good time. That's fun.
418
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.440
We were there for the U.S. Women's Open was there.
419
00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:54.340
If I could Google, I'll tell you what year it was.
420
00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:58.289
We only went that Wednesday for the practice round. These
421
00:16:58.350 --> 00:17:00.629
girls are just as... I mean, we're talking about men before.
422
00:17:01.070 --> 00:17:02.350
These girls are unbelievable. Dude.
423
00:17:02.730 --> 00:17:08.240
Texas, like, it's nuts how good they are. It's, again,
424
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.140
like we were saying earlier before we started here, some
425
00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:14.539
of my best rounds are when I'm mildly injured.
426
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:14.980
Yeah.
427
00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:17.220
Because I'm not trying to swing as hard as I can.
428
00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:18.980
I'm not swinging out of my shoes. I'm.
429
00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:21.339
Actually focus on the mechanics. And if you hit the
430
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.690
right part of that technology, that ball's.
431
00:17:23.509 --> 00:17:26.890
Going to go a mile. But you never take that
432
00:17:26.950 --> 00:17:29.490
with you when you're not injured. No, because I can
433
00:17:29.509 --> 00:17:32.890
swing harder. Come on, I'm a man. I'm a man.
434
00:17:32.970 --> 00:17:36.869
Aren't you a man? Speaking of sports, we've got Turkey
435
00:17:36.910 --> 00:17:37.910
Trot coming up on.
436
00:17:37.990 --> 00:17:39.170
What is the date this year?
437
00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:42.380
It's Thanksgiving. I want to say 26th, but don't quote
438
00:17:42.420 --> 00:17:44.059
me on that. I think you're right around there.
439
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.759
Everyone knows what Thanksgiving is.
440
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.619
It's the 26th. It's the 26th. Yeah. So it's a
441
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:50.400
day earlier.
442
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.880
That was the 22 years ago, 27th last year, 26
443
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.549
this year. So the quick, quick story in case someone
444
00:17:56.569 --> 00:17:59.849
doesn't know. Let me give the story. I'm talking too
445
00:17:59.869 --> 00:18:00.329
much anyway.
446
00:18:00.430 --> 00:18:01.069
No, I moved out.
447
00:18:01.009 --> 00:18:04.549
Here in 2020 and I had previously done a turkey
448
00:18:04.589 --> 00:18:10.089
trot in San Jose, California for the previous 12 years.
449
00:18:10.829 --> 00:18:15.930
And they have this, what is it? It's the Applied
450
00:18:15.970 --> 00:18:19.400
Materials Turkey Trot. And it's claimed to be the world's largest.
451
00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:22.220
And they have something like 40 or 60,000 people depending
452
00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:22.980
on the year each year.
453
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:23.720
So it's unreal.
454
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.299
And it's great. And they raise millions and millions of dollars.
455
00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:28.009
And I came out here and there was nothing. So
456
00:18:28.029 --> 00:18:30.890
I said, oh, I'll peer pressure some neighbors. I'll bring
457
00:18:31.609 --> 00:18:32.029
free beer.
458
00:18:32.049 --> 00:18:32.670
I'll go to the store.
459
00:18:32.710 --> 00:18:33.329
I'll buy some beer.
460
00:18:33.730 --> 00:18:36.269
Everyone gets a beer. We chug a beer. We run a.
461
00:18:36.289 --> 00:18:39.230
Lap around the beautiful Gulf Beach lap right there, which
462
00:18:39.289 --> 00:18:42.930
is just gorgeous and flat. And then we'll chug another
463
00:18:42.950 --> 00:18:46.009
beer and we'll go do Thanksgiving because it's my first
464
00:18:46.049 --> 00:18:48.230
year in town. I don't know what happens. And I
465
00:18:48.250 --> 00:18:50.740
thought maybe 50 people. We ended up, I just pulled
466
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.160
it up right here. We ended up with 607 people.
467
00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:53.720
Wow.
468
00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:55.720
The first year. It escalated quickly.
469
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.599
Oh, yeah. I know you're way over that now. Yeah, yeah.
470
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.359
And then we raised $ 8, 000.
471
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.140
And that year, all the money went to the local
472
00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:06.730
public schools. Then I realized this was a thing and
473
00:19:06.789 --> 00:19:07.509
we got 850 in 2022, over 1400 in 2023, over
474
00:19:07.509 --> 00:19:08.490
1800 in 2024, over 1900 in 2025. And right now,
475
00:19:08.529 --> 00:19:24.259
because it changes constantly, it's crazy. We're, what, a month
476
00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:27.160
out or something? We're 961 people are already registered.
477
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.000
It's unreal. You're three weeks from tomorrow. Yeah.
478
00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:33.289
And normally, I get about 75% of my people in
479
00:19:33.309 --> 00:19:33.769
the last week.
480
00:19:33.990 --> 00:19:34.210
Right.
481
00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:36.349
Because everyone's saying, oh, what's the weather going to be like?
482
00:19:36.390 --> 00:19:38.950
I'm not sure. Oh, I forgot. It's not expensive. It's
483
00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:42.009
just the nature of people. I don't know. It's $ 20.
484
00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:43.150
It's $ 20. If you're a kid, it's cheaper.
485
00:19:43.190 --> 00:19:43.769
And free beer.
486
00:19:44.470 --> 00:19:44.829
Free beer.
487
00:19:44.869 --> 00:19:45.609
Free laser tag.
488
00:19:45.869 --> 00:19:46.490
Free laser tag.
489
00:19:46.509 --> 00:19:48.410
Laser tag on the go. Gets a huge shout out.
490
00:19:48.690 --> 00:19:51.359
He heard about it once. and he showed up. And
491
00:19:51.619 --> 00:19:53.000
I said, I'll pay you. I'll do whatever. I was
492
00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:54.799
going to pay him out of my pocket. And after
493
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:56.200
the event, I was like, hey, you never sent me
494
00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:56.660
the invoice.
495
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.339
He goes, no, Tor.
496
00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:58.880
I'm doing this for free every year.
497
00:19:59.019 --> 00:20:01.750
Just count us in. This is awesome. Yeah.
498
00:20:02.250 --> 00:20:04.970
And the robotics club shows up, so they have little
499
00:20:05.009 --> 00:20:07.460
robots and teach people about that. The fencing club shows up,
500
00:20:07.769 --> 00:20:08.849
so teach people about fencing.
501
00:20:08.869 --> 00:20:10.230
Fencing, yeah.
502
00:20:10.329 --> 00:20:14.150
Yeah, it's all about just nonprofits and community involvement. Yeah,
503
00:20:14.190 --> 00:20:15.569
they were there. We talked about that. My mother was
504
00:20:15.609 --> 00:20:16.470
a fencer in college.
505
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.359
It's crazy.
506
00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:21.180
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the different aspects of Milford that
507
00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:24.099
come in, and we were talking about two years ago
508
00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:24.859
the Mudfest.
509
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:25.420
Yeah.
510
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.599
That's a great example of what Milford is because we
511
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.359
needed more tents.
512
00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:29.539
Yeah.
513
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.160
People, random people showed up with their 10 by 10s
514
00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:34.029
with whatever they had and just put up tents. They
515
00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:34.990
showed up with their heaters.
516
00:20:35.170 --> 00:20:36.109
Am I remembering wrong?
517
00:20:36.130 --> 00:20:38.359
But like when we started the race, it kind of
518
00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:42.279
stopped raining though. It was not raining when we started.
519
00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:45.940
We did a quick down to your street and back. Yeah.
520
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:48.089
I got there at about four in the morning and
521
00:20:48.130 --> 00:20:50.490
it was dry and I was so excited because the
522
00:20:50.509 --> 00:20:51.210
rain was forecast.
523
00:20:51.230 --> 00:20:52.789
It was going to happen. It's dry.
524
00:20:52.829 --> 00:20:55.470
Let's do this. We got everything set up. It started
525
00:20:55.509 --> 00:20:57.509
to drizzle a little bit and I said, you know what?
526
00:20:57.950 --> 00:20:59.410
I'm not going to wear the rain jacket. I got
527
00:20:59.430 --> 00:21:01.069
to wear the turkey trot shirt because I love it.
528
00:21:01.509 --> 00:21:03.539
And I pulled it off and by race time I
529
00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:06.400
was soaked. But at race time, right at nine o'clock,
530
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:07.740
it was relatively dry.
531
00:21:08.009 --> 00:21:08.990
Yeah. Or not dry.
532
00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:11.970
It had stopped raining for a second. In the middle
533
00:21:12.009 --> 00:21:14.710
of the set that the Rum Runners were doing, we
534
00:21:14.730 --> 00:21:15.599
were just doused.
535
00:21:15.630 --> 00:21:17.170
That's when it was bad. We were doused. Yeah.
536
00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:19.839
I think Laser Tag took all the tents from the
537
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.680
people that showed them up so that the kids could
538
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:24.819
still run around. Because James was so concerned his gear
539
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:25.460
was just going.
540
00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:29.180
To get drowned. And it's good gear. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No,
541
00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:29.740
it's a great time.
542
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:31.640
All the money goes to Milford Public Schools.
543
00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:31.839
Yeah.
544
00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:35.549
To Purple Pantry, which is food insecurity here at Milford,
545
00:21:35.789 --> 00:21:39.609
and to Avery's Little Army, which is pediatric cancer.
546
00:21:39.930 --> 00:21:40.390
We had him on.
547
00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:46.079
You had, yeah. Paul and Lisa Lafferty really do a
548
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:47.519
great job with that organization.
549
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:47.980
Yeah, it's amazing.
550
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.359
They do a lot of different events, but it's something.
551
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.539
That no parent or child should ever have to go through. No.
552
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:55.099
They were part of CAF Penn, where my kids are at,
553
00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:59.000
when Avery was there. It's good organizations.
554
00:21:59.059 --> 00:22:01.069
It's a good time. Yeah. And we have fun, right?
555
00:22:01.089 --> 00:22:05.920
I know. I loved it because I would get a
556
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:08.579
nice buzz. It's early in the morning, especially for me.
557
00:22:08.980 --> 00:22:11.160
So I got to work Wednesday night at Stonebridge, you know,
558
00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:13.779
because it's the night before. Oh, excuse me. Thanksgiving.
559
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.480
That was a good one.
560
00:22:14.809 --> 00:22:18.049
Sorry about that. And so, you know, it comes a
561
00:22:18.069 --> 00:22:19.670
little quicker, but now I'm used to getting up early
562
00:22:19.690 --> 00:22:21.869
with my other job. So no big deal now.
563
00:22:22.170 --> 00:22:23.890
And you're not up until three in the morning the
564
00:22:23.910 --> 00:22:24.349
night before.
565
00:22:24.569 --> 00:22:26.069
No, no, no. I was just saying, I still am.
566
00:22:26.150 --> 00:22:26.549
I worked at.
567
00:22:26.789 --> 00:22:28.990
Oh, nice. I pick, you know, I'm working this Saturday.
568
00:22:29.029 --> 00:22:29.529
Picking up shifts.
569
00:22:29.549 --> 00:22:34.990
Yeah. Just, you know, got to grind, baby. And so
570
00:22:35.990 --> 00:22:39.599
basically when we work that Wednesday night, we have what's
571
00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:40.500
called a PLP.
572
00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:44.859
A PLP is a parking lot party. So after work.
573
00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:45.599
After the shift.
574
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.400
After the shift, we go out to the parking lot.
575
00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:49.369
Good Lord. And we have some shots and some beers.
576
00:22:50.230 --> 00:22:53.029
Cause it's not really a late night. Milford has kind
577
00:22:53.069 --> 00:22:56.710
of gone away from the late night since COVID. Yes. Uh,
578
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.059
my bar stays open late citrus sometimes, but Stonebridge, when
579
00:23:00.099 --> 00:23:00.920
we're done, we're done.
580
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.500
Even on the, even in the summer 10.
581
00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:06.500
Right. Yeah. So we go out there and then I
582
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.579
go and see you guys, what? Eight in the morning,
583
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.569
whatever time it is. And, uh, I see the, the
584
00:23:12.609 --> 00:23:15.410
coffee stout, like we were talking about before coffee Porter,
585
00:23:15.430 --> 00:23:16.029
whatever it is.
586
00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:18.720
And, uh, I just had one of those. I'm like,
587
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:19.980
all right, I'm already feeling good.
588
00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:22.400
Nevco is very generous every year.
589
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.500
And then.
590
00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:26.500
We go to Stonebridge now for dinner, but we do
591
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.359
it late, like 4 o'clock. So me and Nicole will
592
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.480
tie a little one on with just beers. We're not
593
00:23:32.769 --> 00:23:35.289
ripping shots or anything. And then we'll go home and
594
00:23:35.309 --> 00:23:39.150
take a nap. Watch the 1 o'clock game. Nap before
595
00:23:39.190 --> 00:23:41.109
Thanksgiving dinner. And then we go out to dinner.
596
00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:45.640
Now it's become a tradition, a ritual, if you will.
597
00:23:45.819 --> 00:23:48.119
It's great. And we love it. We love it. Brayden
598
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:50.579
said he's probably going to come this year because he
599
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.880
doesn't have a game. But he's 16 now, so he
600
00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:55.980
probably has plans with his friends that morning to go.
601
00:23:55.849 --> 00:23:59.329
To foreign law or something. Well, they can still do it,
602
00:23:59.549 --> 00:24:03.589
make a game. But I got so many emails from
603
00:24:03.650 --> 00:24:06.109
people over the years of saying, hey, this is our
604
00:24:06.150 --> 00:24:10.549
new family tradition. Uh, our family from New Hampshire and
605
00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:13.990
New York and New Jersey are all joining us and
606
00:24:14.009 --> 00:24:15.349
they're excited about the turkey trot.
607
00:24:15.369 --> 00:24:16.289
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
608
00:24:16.329 --> 00:24:19.299
And it's just, it's so incredible because you don't know
609
00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:20.539
about that until someone tells you.
610
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:21.079
Yeah.
611
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:25.099
But I had one person register 29 people in one.
612
00:24:25.460 --> 00:24:27.089
Like one group thing. Yeah.
613
00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:29.089
And it was, I, I reached out to him, so
614
00:24:29.150 --> 00:24:30.309
I said, this is very odd.
615
00:24:30.690 --> 00:24:34.470
What went well? You sure? Right, yeah. Did the system break? Right, right, right.
616
00:24:34.619 --> 00:24:36.599
And he goes, no, it's me, it's all my kids,
617
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:39.339
my grandchildren, and we're all doing it because this is
618
00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:43.880
such a fun time. Some people wear costumes. Some people
619
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:44.779
show up sober.
620
00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:46.680
Some people don't. You know what I love?
621
00:24:47.140 --> 00:24:49.769
This is my favorite thing because I'm such not an athletic.
622
00:24:49.890 --> 00:24:53.549
Well, I consider
myself, I'm athletic. I just don't do
623
00:24:53.589 --> 00:24:56.569
it anymore anymore. Um, I love like the runners show
624
00:24:56.609 --> 00:24:59.589
up to these things. Like they take it so fucking seriously,
625
00:24:59.630 --> 00:25:01.599
which is cool. I mean, that's their thing. They're runners
626
00:25:01.630 --> 00:25:03.440
to cut off shirt. Oh yeah. And then they're in
627
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.400
like all the gear. Yeah.
628
00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:07.700
And they're like, they're waiting for you to shoot that
629
00:25:07.779 --> 00:25:10.509
gun and start it. And they're like, they're out the door.
630
00:25:10.529 --> 00:25:12.710
And I'm like, Me and my friends are wheeling the
631
00:25:12.750 --> 00:25:13.210
two kids.
632
00:25:13.250 --> 00:25:17.769
We're drinking beers down Gulf Street. It's great you mentioned
633
00:25:17.789 --> 00:25:19.990
that because there are people that are just like that
634
00:25:20.029 --> 00:25:21.549
but now have kids. Yeah, yeah.
635
00:25:21.670 --> 00:25:23.589
And they're like, I can be the first one through
636
00:25:23.630 --> 00:25:24.349
with a stroller.
637
00:25:24.529 --> 00:25:25.369
Yeah, yeah.
638
00:25:25.390 --> 00:25:27.670
Or even better, the guy I was talking to two
639
00:25:27.710 --> 00:25:30.009
nights ago, he's like, I'm going to win the turkey
640
00:25:30.049 --> 00:25:32.690
trot with the double stroller. I'll be the first one
641
00:25:32.750 --> 00:25:35.210
through with two kids and one stroller. And I was like, wait,
642
00:25:35.230 --> 00:25:35.970
this is a thing?
643
00:25:35.990 --> 00:25:38.630
Right. They're serious, though. I know.
644
00:25:38.970 --> 00:25:41.170
And he's like, yeah, I think I can get 25 minutes.
645
00:25:41.190 --> 00:25:44.779
I was like, 25 minutes? I couldn't do that. Runners
646
00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:48.299
are a whole– I grew up on runners. My mother
647
00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:50.599
dated the L track coach. He was a cross country
648
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.460
and indoor-outdoor track. And I used to work the events
649
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.619
all the time. And, like, he was women, so it
650
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.380
was all the girls. But, like, I grew up on it.
651
00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:02.220
I never liked it. I could never stand running. I
652
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.049
just thought– I mean, when we had to run at football,
653
00:26:04.069 --> 00:26:04.470
it sucked.
654
00:26:04.549 --> 00:26:09.059
I hated it. It's just tedious for me. And it shows,
655
00:26:09.299 --> 00:26:09.559
you know.
656
00:26:10.099 --> 00:26:13.089
But, no, but, like, seriously, like, it's a.
657
00:26:13.410 --> 00:26:15.049
The camera now shows an eight pack.
658
00:26:15.130 --> 00:26:18.900
It's a, yeah. It's a cult. It really... I think
659
00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:20.420
running is like a cult. It's a runner's high.
660
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:21.460
Yeah.
661
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:23.680
People do it for the runner's high. Yeah. I'm like,
662
00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:25.309
I'll gladly get out of your way, bro. You go
663
00:26:25.349 --> 00:26:27.490
win this thing, man. God bless you. So.
664
00:26:28.170 --> 00:26:30.049
And that's not making fun of this event.
665
00:26:30.089 --> 00:26:31.930
I don't know. I grew up on it. I know
666
00:26:31.950 --> 00:26:32.490
how they are.
667
00:26:32.509 --> 00:26:33.710
They take it way.
668
00:26:33.730 --> 00:26:34.869
I don't know if they... I don't want to say
669
00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:37.490
they take it too seriously, because whatever. No, but it's
670
00:26:37.509 --> 00:26:37.890
what they're into.
671
00:26:37.910 --> 00:26:39.569
I don't know how many cards I collect. They probably
672
00:26:39.589 --> 00:26:40.529
take this too seriously.
673
00:26:40.569 --> 00:26:41.359
So we all have our.
674
00:26:42.170 --> 00:26:42.950
Things we like to.
675
00:26:42.910 --> 00:26:46.410
Do in life. It's a vice for them. Yeah. I agree. Again,
676
00:26:46.450 --> 00:26:47.230
I'm not making fun of them.
677
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.519
I see them. I'm like, I can point them out
678
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.660
right away. That's the runner right there. If I could
679
00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:54.819
bet on it, I'm like, I'm going to bet.
680
00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:57.319
$ 10 on that guy. Yeah, yeah, right? Yeah.
681
00:26:57.700 --> 00:26:58.849
No, you're trading, by the way.
682
00:26:58.859 --> 00:27:01.539
You're not betting. That's how it's legal. Yeah, yeah. No,
683
00:27:01.579 --> 00:27:05.539
but my wife is very much in and around that
684
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:07.259
sphere of influence. Yeah.
685
00:27:08.059 --> 00:27:10.019
When I met her, she went out and she did
686
00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:12.359
a full Ironman in Madison, Wisconsin.
687
00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:13.019
Oh, wow.
688
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:15.779
And I was like, what? You do this for how
689
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.140
many hours? You're doing what events?
690
00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:21.809
Where's the beer? So I went and I watched.
691
00:27:21.829 --> 00:27:23.269
Of course, I had a few beers and I was
692
00:27:23.289 --> 00:27:28.750
hanging out. The adrenaline and the excitement of the whole event. Afterwards,
693
00:27:28.950 --> 00:27:31.230
I told her once she was coherent again, because she
694
00:27:31.250 --> 00:27:33.809
had just ran. She had just swam, bike and ran
695
00:27:33.849 --> 00:27:35.609
for an insane amount of time. I told her, like,
696
00:27:35.690 --> 00:27:36.349
I want to do one.
697
00:27:36.390 --> 00:27:37.210
I want to do one. Let's go.
698
00:27:37.700 --> 00:27:40.910
She's like, no, no, no, let's start with something smaller. Like,
699
00:27:40.930 --> 00:27:42.130
let's do a half marathon.
700
00:27:42.170 --> 00:27:42.369
Yeah.
701
00:27:42.430 --> 00:27:44.549
And then from there, we'll do a half Ironman. And
702
00:27:44.589 --> 00:27:46.509
I ended up doing a couple half Ironmans.
703
00:27:47.049 --> 00:27:48.670
But I have to tell you, at no point in
704
00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:51.900
any of those was there enjoyment. Right. None of it
705
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.299
was fun.
706
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:54.369
Yeah, but you feel accomplished, though, when you finish it.
707
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:55.720
The before was great.
708
00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:58.500
Yeah. The after was incredible.
709
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.500
And people ask, what was the worst mile?
710
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:04.079
And I said, the current mile. It didn't matter if
711
00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:08.579
I was 10 feet in or, what is it, 113
712
00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:11.759
miles in or something like that. 56 miles is a half.
713
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:16.309
I was like, all of it absolutely sucked. Absolutely sucked.
714
00:28:16.930 --> 00:28:20.450
But at the end, you feel so cool and so great. Yeah.
715
00:28:20.470 --> 00:28:22.170
And you get that little medal. Yeah, I'm sure. And
716
00:28:22.190 --> 00:28:24.150
you get that little shirt. If I could do a
717
00:28:24.509 --> 00:28:27.630
half anything, I would fucking feel accomplished. On that note,
718
00:28:27.789 --> 00:28:31.519
I have to point out differences for this year. We're
719
00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:32.630
a little bit ahead of schedule.
720
00:28:32.779 --> 00:28:37.819
I have printed out and created on a Glowforge 2,100
721
00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:40.279
finisher medals. They're not metal. They're wood.
722
00:28:41.069 --> 00:28:43.130
Um, but last year's were a little rough cause it
723
00:28:43.150 --> 00:28:44.529
was the first time I ever did it. I think
724
00:28:44.569 --> 00:28:45.910
I got about 1100 done.
725
00:28:46.269 --> 00:28:46.750
Wow.
726
00:28:47.029 --> 00:28:48.890
We had 2000 people. So not everyone got one, which
727
00:28:48.930 --> 00:28:51.109
I felt really bad about. We tried to prioritize the
728
00:28:51.130 --> 00:28:54.789
kids this year. We have 2100. Uh, they're already ready
729
00:28:54.809 --> 00:28:58.119
to go. Now, now finishers. Now it doesn't matter one,
730
00:28:58.150 --> 00:28:59.420
two or three miles.
731
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:01.380
You're coming back. You're going out. You're coming back.
732
00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:02.380
Everyone gets a medal.
733
00:29:02.420 --> 00:29:03.430
That's the world we live in.
734
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:06.700
You get a, what is it? Uh, you get a Pontiac.
735
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:07.680
You get a Pontiac.
736
00:29:07.859 --> 00:29:11.940
Um, No, but they're already printed out and we're a
737
00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:14.319
month ahead. So this is way different.
738
00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:14.910
We've learned a lot.
739
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:16.140
I definitely didn't get one last year.
740
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:16.880
Yeah, exactly.
741
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.880
Because I, I was like the first one in too.
742
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.559
Cause I just went, I just went down the street
743
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:24.980
and back up. Other than like the five guys in
744
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.740
the running shorts and the bleeding nipples. Cause they went
745
00:29:28.789 --> 00:29:31.390
so fast and all that. Look, I reserved them just
746
00:29:31.410 --> 00:29:33.349
for kids because we had so many kids.
747
00:29:33.410 --> 00:29:34.650
It was awesome. Of course. Yeah. Yeah.
748
00:29:34.970 --> 00:29:36.329
But this year everyone gets one.
749
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:39.539
Everyone's super pumped i'm pumped for that uh funny quick
750
00:29:39.579 --> 00:29:43.599
story so cox cage is the indoor track facility at
751
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:49.789
yale that's a great name yeah right cox um i'm
752
00:29:49.829 --> 00:29:52.630
just i don't know you went there i didn't uh
753
00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:54.559
I used to run the scoreboard there.
754
00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:57.319
I had a little computer, and the results would come in.
755
00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:59.599
I'd get a printout, and I'd put the results in
756
00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:02.950
on the thing, and I'd put them up on the board. So-so, St.
757
00:30:02.990 --> 00:30:07.930
John's winner, whatever. But we're raised up, and right down
758
00:30:07.970 --> 00:30:11.630
to my left is a trainer table. A lot of
759
00:30:11.650 --> 00:30:14.180
the Yale girls kind of hang out there. They stretch
760
00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:17.940
before their races and stuff. Well, the event that was
761
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.700
going on was, I think, the 5,000-meter, the really long one.
762
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.839
I'm going to go.
763
00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:23.759
Around and around and around. I don't know.
764
00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:24.559
The indoor track?
765
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.559
Well, you know what? Maybe it was more like 3,500
766
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:28.160
because I don't think they do 5,000 inside. But is
767
00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:30.940
it a 400-meter track? It's a 400-meter track. So, yeah.
768
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:34.069
It was probably 3,500 might be the max for that.
769
00:30:34.990 --> 00:30:36.089
Anyway, they're just running.
770
00:30:36.109 --> 00:30:38.009
They're running. I'm kind of chilling because I don't have
771
00:30:38.029 --> 00:30:40.430
to post any results for a while. I'm just kind
772
00:30:40.470 --> 00:30:42.849
of paying attention. All of a sudden, she's over. I'm done. Yeah, no.
773
00:30:43.690 --> 00:30:45.289
I just happened to look down, and the girl's getting
774
00:30:45.309 --> 00:30:46.049
her ankle taped.
775
00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:48.440
And I look over, and I see a girl hunched
776
00:30:48.539 --> 00:30:51.539
over by her bag, and she has a Dixie cup.
777
00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:55.269
And she's pouring straight vodka into it. This is no lie.
778
00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:59.250
A runner. A runner. She's pouring, yeah, a Yale athlete.
779
00:30:59.569 --> 00:31:02.710
She's pouring straight vodka into it. I'm like, what
the
780
00:31:02.769 --> 00:31:05.289
fuck is she doing? So now I see there's like
781
00:31:05.490 --> 00:31:08.859
the bell lap goes off. This fucking girl runs over
782
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:14.500
to the fucking, the stripe, the finish line. And I'm
783
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:16.299
just watching her, and I see the girl coming around.
784
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:19.849
It's a Yale girl that's winning it. She finishes the race. Yes.
785
00:31:20.230 --> 00:31:22.230
She fucking hands her the cup of vodka, and this
786
00:31:22.250 --> 00:31:26.509
girl chugs it and immediately vomits all over the place.
787
00:31:26.730 --> 00:31:27.740
Just played a prank on her.
788
00:31:30.349 --> 00:31:33.710
I thought it was planned and the girl was excited. No, no, no.
789
00:31:33.730 --> 00:31:35.650
She fucked her over. That prank is even better.
790
00:31:36.269 --> 00:31:37.549
That prank is even better.
791
00:31:37.630 --> 00:31:38.589
So I asked Mark.
792
00:31:38.650 --> 00:31:41.089
His name was Mark Young at the time, my mom's boyfriend.
793
00:31:41.210 --> 00:31:41.829
And we all did.
794
00:31:41.710 --> 00:31:45.150
Together in Madison. And I said, did that girl get
795
00:31:45.190 --> 00:31:45.609
in trouble?
796
00:31:45.650 --> 00:31:48.029
He goes, I wanted to fucking discipline her so bad.
797
00:31:48.109 --> 00:31:50.930
But I've never seen it before. It was the funniest
798
00:31:50.950 --> 00:31:51.890
thing ever. It's hilarious.
799
00:31:51.910 --> 00:31:53.569
They were all 21. They were like seniors.
800
00:31:53.609 --> 00:31:57.829
So it wasn't like, you know, but. I just didn't
801
00:31:57.970 --> 00:31:58.769
know what was going on.
802
00:31:59.029 --> 00:31:59.529
And I was like you.
803
00:31:59.549 --> 00:32:00.589
I was like, oh, this girl's just going to rip
804
00:32:00.630 --> 00:32:02.470
a shot, thinking like, oh, we're all in on it?
805
00:32:02.470 --> 00:32:04.630
That girl wasn't in on it. Or the winner was
806
00:32:04.710 --> 00:32:08.230
ready and wanted to celebrate a win with a shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, here,
807
00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:10.339
let's do a shot.
808
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:12.759
That's unfortunate. That story took a turn.
809
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.099
Didn't it? Didn't it? A good one. Yeah. Dark, then happy.
810
00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:17.460
I was like 16 at the time.
811
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.160
I'm just looking down here. I'm like, what is she doing?
812
00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:22.089
I'm glad that you can recognize a bottle of vodka
813
00:32:22.109 --> 00:32:22.220
at 16.
814
00:32:22.220 --> 00:32:24.640
Well done. Well, I mean, you grew up with parents
815
00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:28.700
that booze in the house. So I lived with his daughter,
816
00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:30.779
and she was two years older than me. So when
817
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:33.039
she was a senior, I was a sophomore.
818
00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:35.940
I didn't really start drinking until I got to college, really.
819
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:37.779
It's really not a scenario where you can use your
820
00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:38.849
sibling's ID, is it?
821
00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:41.359
No, no, no, no. Well, plus it was a girl,
822
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:43.259
so yeah. That was the whole point. Yeah, sure.
823
00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:49.309
This is how I identified it. So yeah, so you've
824
00:32:49.329 --> 00:32:51.609
got options. You've got one, two, three miles. You can
825
00:32:51.650 --> 00:32:53.490
walk really a foot if you want to. It's all
826
00:32:53.529 --> 00:32:54.849
about just fucking coming.
827
00:32:54.910 --> 00:32:56.890
It's just having a good time. And the rum runners
828
00:32:56.950 --> 00:33:00.160
are playing, and laser tag's there.
829
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:03.380
We've got beer. There's a whole bunch of breweries right
830
00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:05.859
now that are signing up and participating, which is super cool.
831
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.180
So I will do my usual call to Viva. Oh,
832
00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:09.619
that would be phenomenal if we can.
833
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.430
We were drinking Vivas last year.
834
00:33:12.150 --> 00:33:14.069
Again, they're not around, so hopefully they can get a
835
00:33:14.109 --> 00:33:14.730
hold of us.
836
00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:16.099
One of their salesmen.
837
00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:18.019
Did we drop those off at your house last year?
838
00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:19.299
Did I get them and I bring them over?
839
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:21.420
You got them into the driveway. No, I did.
840
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:23.480
Oh, yeah, you were home. You did. You did. You did.
841
00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:24.680
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
842
00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:26.220
She was in town. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
843
00:33:26.380 --> 00:33:28.660
She's always in town. She loves this event. I love Rita.
844
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:29.519
Yeah.
845
00:33:29.859 --> 00:33:31.470
But Counterweight has signed up.
846
00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:31.779
Nice.
847
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:32.619
So that's super cool.
848
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.549
Of course, Nipco is. Do you know Larry? I do
849
00:33:35.589 --> 00:33:36.009
not know.
850
00:33:36.069 --> 00:33:39.269
So my neighbor is the one who does all the beer.
851
00:33:39.329 --> 00:33:42.289
He's a great guy. Nice. So Larry used to be
852
00:33:42.349 --> 00:33:45.029
the salesman for Star, and he's been with Counterweight for
853
00:33:45.069 --> 00:33:46.289
a while. Awesome guy.
854
00:33:46.549 --> 00:33:47.690
He actually got me tickets.
855
00:33:48.509 --> 00:33:51.490
Another bad story. He got me tickets to the All-Star
856
00:33:51.529 --> 00:33:55.849
game at Citi Field, whatever year it was. It happened
857
00:33:55.890 --> 00:34:00.380
to be Mariano Rivera's last All-Star game. Oh, good Lord.
858
00:34:00.710 --> 00:34:05.039
So it was 90,000 degrees, and we were way up there.
859
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.599
Don't care. We
got into the game. Yeah, we were, yeah.
860
00:34:08.389 --> 00:34:10.309
Well, it was nighttime, but it was still just humid.
861
00:34:10.369 --> 00:34:12.829
It was hot nights. And it was kind of towards
862
00:34:12.869 --> 00:34:14.809
the end of my relationship with my girlfriend at the time.
863
00:34:15.889 --> 00:34:18.909
And not that we argued all the time, but she
864
00:34:18.949 --> 00:34:21.659
was getting real cranky. And I'm like, listen, you just
865
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:22.050
want to go.
866
00:34:22.110 --> 00:34:23.610
It's an all-star game. It's not like we're going to
867
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:24.690
witness history.
868
00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:27.039
Or anything, right? She's like, yeah, all right. Do you mind?
869
00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:29.739
I'm like, we'll just fucking go. We get in the car,
870
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.360
turn on the radio. All you hear is Metallica. What
871
00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:39.250
was the Mariano song? It was a Metallica song.
872
00:34:39.630 --> 00:34:40.789
I'm a Minnesota Twins fan.
873
00:34:40.809 --> 00:34:41.170
Oh, come on.
874
00:34:41.210 --> 00:34:42.159
People hate me for this.
875
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:47.000
So Mariano comes out in the eighth inning because they
876
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:49.579
had a chance to not have to pitch in the ninth.
877
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:51.280
So they wanted to make sure he got out for
878
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.820
his final fucking game, an all-star game.
879
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:57.840
And we were there, and we left before it happened.
880
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.980
And I was like, I couldn't even tell Larry. I'm like, oh, yeah,
881
00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:01.340
how was it?
882
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:02.800
It was great, Larry. Great.
883
00:35:04.429 --> 00:35:07.030
Larry's a really good dude.
884
00:35:07.090 --> 00:35:10.329
Yeah. You missed that one. Enter Sandman.
885
00:35:10.389 --> 00:35:10.989
Enter Sandman.
886
00:35:11.849 --> 00:35:11.969
Oh.
887
00:35:12.030 --> 00:35:13.050
Is the song he came out to.
888
00:35:13.070 --> 00:35:14.929
Is it really? Yeah. That's a good one. Well, it was.
889
00:35:15.449 --> 00:35:17.929
Also, Billy Wagner came out to that, too, because he
890
00:35:17.969 --> 00:35:18.730
used to be a Met.
891
00:35:19.369 --> 00:35:23.409
I remember that. Twins, though, huh? All right.
892
00:35:23.449 --> 00:35:26.869
How about your Vikings, though? The Vikings were great until
893
00:35:26.989 --> 00:35:29.730
Detroit rolled in. Well, I mean, it was a weird game.
894
00:35:30.210 --> 00:35:30.820
It was awkward.
895
00:35:30.929 --> 00:35:32.760
You're going to have to win every game defensively, really,
896
00:35:32.820 --> 00:35:36.780
I think. With, yeah. You have two good wide receivers, but.
897
00:35:38.139 --> 00:35:40.650
Addison is great at running straight.
898
00:35:41.369 --> 00:35:42.070
Yeah.
899
00:35:42.309 --> 00:35:42.949
He can go deep.
900
00:35:43.110 --> 00:35:43.250
Yeah.
901
00:35:43.289 --> 00:35:44.829
And the only reason he can go deep is because
902
00:35:44.889 --> 00:35:47.840
Jefferson turns in. He's doing the crosser.
903
00:35:48.059 --> 00:35:48.820
Yeah. Yeah.
904
00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:51.820
So when people are excited about Jefferson, but he needs
905
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:53.869
to get hot early if Addison needs to have a chance.
906
00:35:53.949 --> 00:35:54.889
Yeah. Because otherwise it's hot.
907
00:35:54.909 --> 00:35:57.510
Yeah. We play each other in a couple weeks on
908
00:35:57.530 --> 00:35:58.130
a Thursday night.
909
00:35:58.510 --> 00:36:00.469
Oh, nice. We should go out for that game. I'm in.
910
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:04.619
Or you come over, I'll come over to your house, whatever.
911
00:36:04.820 --> 00:36:07.099
So I love Milford. It's phenomenal.
912
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.179
My neighbor throws Thursday night football parties in his pool house.
913
00:36:10.780 --> 00:36:11.699
Every Thursday?
914
00:36:11.739 --> 00:36:12.440
Every Thursday.
915
00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:15.059
Oh, I'll come to that. And based on what's happening,
916
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:18.300
we'll get food. So when it was the Bears versus
917
00:36:18.530 --> 00:36:22.909
whoever it was a couple weeks ago, I ordered from...
918
00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:25.550
It's not Blue Belly, like Pot Belly. One of those
919
00:36:25.590 --> 00:36:29.170
things where there were Chicago deep dish pizzas flown in
920
00:36:29.230 --> 00:36:31.449
from Chicago, and we put them in the oven and
921
00:36:31.489 --> 00:36:32.010
heated them up.
922
00:36:32.130 --> 00:36:32.849
Like Luminati's?
923
00:36:32.869 --> 00:36:34.969
No, it started with a G.
924
00:36:34.989 --> 00:36:35.929
Or Pequod's or whatever?
925
00:36:35.949 --> 00:36:37.030
It started with a G.
926
00:36:37.409 --> 00:36:37.769
Oh, yeah.
927
00:36:37.909 --> 00:36:39.900
I'm going to say Gianotti's, but that's not right.
928
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:39.980
No.
929
00:36:40.139 --> 00:36:43.300
Because you said the other one. But anyways, it was phenomenal.
930
00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:46.320
So we had six deep dish pies flown in. Thursday,
931
00:36:46.380 --> 00:36:47.079
December 10th.
932
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:48.329
There you go. We're rocking it.
933
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.380
We're ready. But it's so fun. And where I was
934
00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:53.869
going with this is that... We got my son a
935
00:36:54.090 --> 00:36:58.170
slushie machine, a ninja slushie machine from Costco. And it
936
00:36:58.210 --> 00:37:00.130
goes to Thursday Night Football every week.
937
00:37:01.610 --> 00:37:04.349
My son will run over from the house, grab his
938
00:37:04.369 --> 00:37:06.070
little cup, fill one up.
939
00:37:06.210 --> 00:37:08.889
I mean, he's 10 years old. It's totally fine. And
940
00:37:08.909 --> 00:37:11.889
he fills it up. And then he leaves, and he'll
941
00:37:11.909 --> 00:37:13.809
grab one, and he'll come back if it's really good,
942
00:37:13.829 --> 00:37:16.010
because we always keep him non-alcoholic. And you add the
943
00:37:16.050 --> 00:37:18.420
vodka on the side for you. And then we add
944
00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:21.099
the rum, tequila, vodka, whatever the drink is for that day,
945
00:37:21.179 --> 00:37:23.039
but Those slushy machines are phenomenal.
946
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:24.800
So if you're doing a Thursday night, or if you're
947
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:26.420
doing any football party, you need a slushy machine. Yeah,
948
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:27.000
Nicole bought one.
949
00:37:27.059 --> 00:37:29.219
The only thing is, like, she puts the alcohol right
950
00:37:29.260 --> 00:37:29.469
in it.
951
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:31.179
That's different, though. Right.
952
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:33.619
Because you have to go way colder to freeze them.
953
00:37:34.619 --> 00:37:37.679
Well, the problem is, like, you can only fill, like,
954
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:41.360
three fucking, like, 16-ounce cups, and it's gone.
955
00:37:41.389 --> 00:37:42.469
Oh, this is 138-ounce.
956
00:37:42.710 --> 00:37:46.210
Oh, really? 140-ounce. This is the big one from Costco. Oh, oh,
957
00:37:46.250 --> 00:37:48.289
it's like the one you see at the North. That 7-Eleven,
958
00:37:48.329 --> 00:37:50.489
that big kind of thing? It's like that deep. Yeah.
959
00:37:50.949 --> 00:37:53.090
But it's not the three times high like that one.
960
00:37:53.110 --> 00:37:53.630
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
961
00:37:53.769 --> 00:37:56.789
So you can do maybe 10 drinks with this one.
962
00:37:57.130 --> 00:37:58.889
Oh, nice. I would recommend it. And it's cheap. It's
963
00:37:58.909 --> 00:37:59.239
only $ 200.
964
00:37:59.139 --> 00:38:02.300
Yeah, she got hers. It was some Amazon deal. She
965
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.179
hasn't done it in a while. We had the, which
966
00:38:04.219 --> 00:38:06.260
you didn't show up to, the Irish bar at our house.
967
00:38:07.260 --> 00:38:09.559
I apologize. There was a baseball game that night.
968
00:38:09.579 --> 00:38:12.980
All right. I texted you. I know. It looked awesome. Well,
969
00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:15.699
I told her, I said, I want you to, she's like, babe,
970
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:17.119
it's going to be gone in three seconds. I've been
971
00:38:17.139 --> 00:38:17.699
making them all day.
972
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:18.550
I said, all right, all right.
973
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:21.409
So Halloween, I'm like, do like a witch's brew, margarita
974
00:38:21.449 --> 00:38:23.449
or something. She's like, yeah, we got so many people
975
00:38:23.489 --> 00:38:24.670
coming over and I want to, I want to hand
976
00:38:24.710 --> 00:38:25.010
out candy.
977
00:38:25.050 --> 00:38:26.800
I'm like, All right, so why the fuck did you
978
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:27.239
buy this?
979
00:38:27.690 --> 00:38:30.489
Why'd you buy such a small one? Can we upgrade?
980
00:38:32.010 --> 00:38:35.210
No, I'm telling you, man, this Ninja, it's
phenomenal.
981
00:38:35.230 --> 00:38:37.409
I don't think ours is a Ninja, but... I don't
982
00:38:37.429 --> 00:38:38.590
care if it's a Ninja or not, but that's the
983
00:38:38.630 --> 00:38:39.510
one that we have. No, no, I'm just trying to
984
00:38:39.530 --> 00:38:41.369
remember what brand she bought that was on sale. It
985
00:38:41.389 --> 00:38:43.969
was like $ 135. I should call it Kirkland. It's the Kirkland. Yeah,
986
00:38:43.989 --> 00:38:47.429
the Kirkland, right? Everything's Kirkland. That's the thing about Costco.
987
00:38:47.489 --> 00:38:49.530
I can go in, and I don't care what brand
988
00:38:49.550 --> 00:38:51.550
it is or what product it is, if it made
989
00:38:51.570 --> 00:38:52.349
it through their buyers.
990
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.179
I'm a fan because I trust him. But again, I'm
991
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.460
too trusting. I want to throw my kid in a
992
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.679
driverless car now so I don't have to drive him
993
00:39:00.699 --> 00:39:01.239
to sports.
994
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:05.570
I'm a very trusting fellow. Why don't you just hire somebody?
995
00:39:05.610 --> 00:39:06.590
You make all this money.
996
00:39:06.769 --> 00:39:11.389
On that note, someone stole our stinking Halloween basket, like
997
00:39:11.449 --> 00:39:14.199
our thing of candy, second year in a row. Yeah,
998
00:39:14.219 --> 00:39:17.179
I have two. No, I have the Google cameras. It's
999
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:19.760
1080p from two angles. I can see the kid, and
1000
00:39:19.780 --> 00:39:22.179
I can see his two friends on the street. But, like,
1001
00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:25.550
why do people have to suck? Why can't people just
1002
00:39:25.750 --> 00:39:26.530
be good?
1003
00:39:26.570 --> 00:39:29.829
Right? You know, it's funny. It's Tuesday afternoon.
1004
00:39:30.110 --> 00:39:32.610
Drive home from work and I'm pulling in my front yard.
1005
00:39:32.650 --> 00:39:37.050
Now I got all the, I got Fazio, Owen Weaver,
1006
00:39:37.530 --> 00:39:41.340
and Visconti yard signs out for, you.
1007
00:39:41.260 --> 00:39:42.780
Know, they dropped them off the house.
1008
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:43.880
I had Owen Weaver on the podcast. And a turkey
1009
00:39:43.889 --> 00:39:45.969
trot sign. And a turkey trot sign. Of course.
1010
00:39:46.260 --> 00:39:46.480
Yes.
1011
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:47.059
Just checking.
1012
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:47.659
No, no, no, no.
1013
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:49.800
This is where the story's going. I got them all
1014
00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:55.340
for I get home and just yours is there. And
1015
00:39:55.380 --> 00:39:59.320
I'm like, wait, hold on. I see stories of like
1016
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.539
Democrats robbing Republican signs just to get, you know, make
1017
00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:03.480
sure the word doesn't get out.
1018
00:40:04.619 --> 00:40:05.960
I don't want to make this show political at all.
1019
00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:10.099
But I texted Owen Weaver and I'm like, hey, I'm
1020
00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:12.159
just making sure nothing shady is going on. But all
1021
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:14.650
your signs are gone. But the turkey trot one that
1022
00:40:14.949 --> 00:40:15.769
I that's mine.
1023
00:40:16.690 --> 00:40:18.230
And he goes– he starts laughing.
1024
00:40:18.269 --> 00:40:20.989
He's like, yeah, no, we grab them back and we
1025
00:40:21.010 --> 00:40:22.949
bring them out at the polling sites. So when you
1026
00:40:22.989 --> 00:40:24.550
go by the polling sites, which is right down the
1027
00:40:24.590 --> 00:40:27.230
street from me, JFK, and they just put them all out.
1028
00:40:27.250 --> 00:40:31.289
I said, oh, that makes sense. It's a very true–
1029
00:40:31.309 --> 00:40:32.789
you can slide to the other side and see the
1030
00:40:32.809 --> 00:40:37.650
other angle. It's very true because the same thing happened–
1031
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:40.949
was it? two years ago was a big election i
1032
00:40:40.989 --> 00:40:41.809
forget who was in it.
1033
00:40:41.949 --> 00:40:44.010
Oh what a little fucking punk yeah he's watching the
1034
00:40:44.030 --> 00:40:46.110
video right now if you slide to the side you
1035
00:40:46.150 --> 00:40:48.760
see the other angle um but.
1036
00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:52.860
Just one if it goes to yeah uh and we
1037
00:40:52.900 --> 00:40:56.199
had signs everywhere turkey trot signs everywhere but we were
1038
00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:58.739
competing with all these political signs you were you were
1039
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:00.630
bringing your kids around the neighborhood or yeah.
1040
00:41:00.489 --> 00:41:03.110
This was this was early this was early.
1041
00:41:02.909 --> 00:41:08.329
This was like nine no eight eight fifty It says $ 8.
1042
00:41:06.929 --> 00:41:11.010
50. Like, come on. Who just steals your basket of candy?
1043
00:41:11.409 --> 00:41:12.929
And of course it's good candy.
1044
00:41:12.650 --> 00:41:15.780
Because kids like good candy. Kids are kids.
1045
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:17.659
I don't know. That's not a kid. That's a young
1046
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:19.699
adult in that video. Yeah, that's a teenager. Yeah. So
1047
00:41:19.739 --> 00:41:20.739
you know what I do on Halloween?
1048
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:22.800
Second year in a row.
1049
00:41:22.820 --> 00:41:24.559
So I'm new to the neighborhood. I've been there two
1050
00:41:24.579 --> 00:41:28.550
years now. So last year I did the candy. We
1051
00:41:28.570 --> 00:41:31.590
set up out front. And I put out a sign.
1052
00:41:31.789 --> 00:41:33.829
I don't know if you know who Steven Crowder is,
1053
00:41:33.869 --> 00:41:36.269
but He's the meme guy with, like, he's got the
1054
00:41:36.329 --> 00:41:37.989
mug and he's at a table and there's a sign
1055
00:41:38.030 --> 00:41:39.269
out front that says whatever.
1056
00:41:39.510 --> 00:41:42.690
So my sign says, it says change my mind. So
1057
00:41:42.710 --> 00:41:47.949
my
sign says Halloween is an adult holiday.
1058
00:41:48.010 --> 00:41:50.289
Change my mind. So I said, I'll do it again
1059
00:41:50.349 --> 00:41:52.530
this year. And you want the kids to convince you?
1060
00:41:52.550 --> 00:41:56.190
But this year I had all these fucking bags of
1061
00:41:56.269 --> 00:41:58.489
chips left over from the thing I had for the
1062
00:41:58.530 --> 00:41:58.869
rambling game.
1063
00:41:58.889 --> 00:42:00.369
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I did a lot of food. Like,
1064
00:42:00.389 --> 00:42:03.900
I bought boxes of chips, little bags. It's a great
1065
00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:06.679
time to clear out your pantry. Yeah. Halloween is glorious.
1066
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.340
I went to Total Wine. I bought 140 nips or
1067
00:42:09.340 --> 00:42:14.039
130 nips. And I had the Halloween candy on the
1068
00:42:14.099 --> 00:42:16.500
table with the Change My Mind sign. And then I
1069
00:42:16.539 --> 00:42:19.460
had a table off to the left. And I made
1070
00:42:19.500 --> 00:42:22.739
a sign that says, Chips and Nips for Adults Only.
1071
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:24.199
So I had a big bucket of chips.
1072
00:42:24.909 --> 00:42:28.309
And then I had Jägermeister, Fireball, all this shit.
1073
00:42:29.250 --> 00:42:31.710
I mean... I was the first one to bed because
1074
00:42:31.769 --> 00:42:33.289
everyone that came up, I had to do a nip
1075
00:42:33.309 --> 00:42:35.250
with them. My girlfriend's just handing the candy out.
1076
00:42:35.289 --> 00:42:36.150
I went to bed at like 8.30.
1077
00:42:36.150 --> 00:42:39.469
I was so fucking trashed. I hope so. Yeah. Like, jeez,
1078
00:42:39.489 --> 00:42:44.150
that's like a century hour. Oh, man. So now that's
1079
00:42:44.170 --> 00:42:44.869
what I'm known for.
1080
00:42:44.929 --> 00:42:46.550
So I got to do that every year in the neighborhood.
1081
00:42:46.849 --> 00:42:47.469
Chips and nips.
1082
00:42:47.929 --> 00:42:51.630
So this year, it's kind of sad. We've been here
1083
00:42:51.670 --> 00:42:55.349
in Connecticut since 2020. This is the first year someone
1084
00:42:55.650 --> 00:42:57.800
in our house had to stay home and watch the
1085
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:03.510
candy because... Every year it's been bad. And we, oh,
1086
00:43:03.909 --> 00:43:04.630
that's attractive.
1087
00:43:05.409 --> 00:43:05.969
I'm coming over.
1088
00:43:07.550 --> 00:43:08.400
I'll try to make it before 8.
1089
00:43:08.380 --> 00:43:10.199
Yeah, all your shit's going to get stolen at your house, though.
1090
00:43:10.940 --> 00:43:13.050
But we had to switch off on someone staying there. And,
1091
00:43:13.099 --> 00:43:15.719
I mean, we've got two. two kids and they're 10
1092
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:17.239
and eight now as of yesterday.
1093
00:43:17.260 --> 00:43:19.159
Right. And they want to.
1094
00:43:19.139 --> 00:43:21.659
Be with different groups, which is fine. So we're dividing
1095
00:43:21.739 --> 00:43:23.940
conquer and do whatever. And now it's like, well, Hey,
1096
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:24.800
can you watch my kid?
1097
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:25.280
Right.
1098
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:27.579
Can you watch my kid? Can we watch the house?
1099
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:31.159
And it's just unfortunate that that's even a problem because
1100
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:34.320
when I was growing up, like that was unacceptable. If
1101
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:36.940
you came home and dad found out that you had
1102
00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:39.860
more than one piece from a basket from the family
1103
00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:43.050
who couldn't be there, like, You were getting a good slapping.
1104
00:43:43.170 --> 00:43:44.789
I see it all over the internet. And now you're
1105
00:43:44.809 --> 00:43:47.179
saying you can go to jail for that. Oh, really? Well,
1106
00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:51.059
you know your story earlier. You slapped your kid. Oh, yeah.
1107
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:53.800
Not you. True.
1108
00:43:53.820 --> 00:43:54.260
Not me.
1109
00:43:54.260 --> 00:43:56.219
Not you. But it's unfortunate.
1110
00:43:59.340 --> 00:44:02.179
Halloween is amazing. It's one of my favorite holidays, and
1111
00:44:02.260 --> 00:44:04.730
it's so fun. I actually hate it.
1112
00:44:05.010 --> 00:44:07.349
I hate it. Well, no, I can't say I hate Halloween.
1113
00:44:07.590 --> 00:44:08.250
I hate dressing up.
1114
00:44:08.710 --> 00:44:09.469
I just despise it.
1115
00:44:09.469 --> 00:44:10.190
I love dressing up.
1116
00:44:10.190 --> 00:44:10.739
I despise it.
1117
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:12.980
I have three Costco bins of costumes.
1118
00:44:13.019 --> 00:44:15.699
But the fact that, like, I had so much fun
1119
00:44:15.739 --> 00:44:16.119
last year.
1120
00:44:16.139 --> 00:44:18.940
I'm in a good neighborhood. We don't get a gazillion trick-or-treaters,
1121
00:44:18.980 --> 00:44:20.670
but we probably got 60 to 80. That's not the point.
1122
00:44:21.449 --> 00:44:24.070
That's huge. Now we're getting to know the neighbors, and
1123
00:44:24.090 --> 00:44:28.170
they're bringing their spiked apple cider over, and we're doing
1124
00:44:28.210 --> 00:44:30.690
the nips and the chips and everything. We got pizzas.
1125
00:44:30.710 --> 00:44:33.880
You go to the house with the jello shots. Yeah, yeah.
1126
00:44:33.900 --> 00:44:35.079
You go to the house with the cider.
1127
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:36.639
You go to the house with the bourbon. Now they're
1128
00:44:36.659 --> 00:44:38.519
a lot friendlier this year because I did that rambling
1129
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:41.400
in Irish bar, so they're all over there, and I'm
1130
00:44:41.420 --> 00:44:43.079
like the cat's meow with all the neighbors.
1131
00:44:43.099 --> 00:44:45.480
You got to get your feet wet and get the invite.
1132
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:45.840
Yeah.
1133
00:44:46.260 --> 00:44:47.969
Otherwise, you're just a random. So I don't know if
1134
00:44:47.989 --> 00:44:50.630
you've heard this. Do you have a rival?
1135
00:44:51.900 --> 00:44:55.230
For a turkey trot. Where? Tito's Vodka.
1136
00:44:56.650 --> 00:44:59.510
They do something called a turkey rot.
1137
00:44:59.530 --> 00:45:01.429
Uh-oh.
1138
00:45:02.090 --> 00:45:04.309
And Matt... I just saw this today. I get all
1139
00:45:04.329 --> 00:45:06.730
these Tito's fucking emails. I love Tito's.
1140
00:45:06.750 --> 00:45:08.150
It says... Wait, let me... I used to love. I
1141
00:45:08.250 --> 00:45:11.159
used to love Tito's. Imagine waking up early on Thanksgiving
1142
00:45:11.179 --> 00:45:13.820
to run a turkey trot. Couldn't be us. Skip the
1143
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:18.139
sprint and join the sit-down. Tito's Turkey Rot is back
1144
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:20.460
to help you unwind and do some good. All from
1145
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.949
your couch. We're kicking things off with a $ 500, 000 donation.
1146
00:45:23.989 --> 00:45:27.420
They donate a shit ton of money. It's an awesome
1147
00:45:27.460 --> 00:45:30.179
organization out of Austin. And throughout the rest of November,
1148
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:32.920
this will be $ 10 for every person who commits to rotting.
1149
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:34.380
Up to $ 1 million total.
1150
00:45:34.420 --> 00:45:41.449
You do nothing. Tito's Donates. What assholes. Hold on. Inactive wear. Oh, shit.
1151
00:45:41.469 --> 00:45:44.829
What happened? You swiped. Don't swipe right. Oh, shit. What
1152
00:45:44.849 --> 00:45:45.429
did I do?
1153
00:45:45.449 --> 00:45:46.090
You swiped right.
1154
00:45:46.670 --> 00:45:47.530
Inactive wear.
1155
00:45:48.429 --> 00:45:49.219
Turkey rot.
1156
00:45:50.340 --> 00:45:51.639
Sweatsuit. Ugh.
1157
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:54.719
Brooklinen turkey rot robe.
1158
00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:57.679
I'm hating this more and more. Turkey rot finisher flask.
1159
00:45:58.539 --> 00:46:00.840
I have a beautiful Tito's golf polo.
1160
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.019
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1161
00:46:02.059 --> 00:46:03.400
I have a beautiful Tito's.
1162
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:06.050
Their golf polos are awesome. Is it like a funky one? Oh, yeah.
1163
00:46:06.090 --> 00:46:08.409
Yeah, yeah. The white with the orange. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1164
00:46:08.670 --> 00:46:12.230
I have a beautiful Tito's head cover on my 3-wood.
1165
00:46:12.710 --> 00:46:15.389
I'm rethinking this tournament here.
1166
00:46:15.409 --> 00:46:17.429
They just randomly sent me a bandana in the mail
1167
00:46:17.449 --> 00:46:17.969
the other day.
1168
00:46:18.010 --> 00:46:19.050
You sign up, they send you shit.
1169
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:21.679
That is not going to affect you at all. Don't
1170
00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.480
you worry. Yeah.
1171
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:25.739
We donate our money locally. So we stay local.
1172
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:29.559
Yeah. No. I have a good friend that's actually his wife's.
1173
00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:34.320
He works for Tito's. He's like pretty much New England's rep.
1174
00:46:34.949 --> 00:46:38.929
Been there since fucking. They came into the area. And
1175
00:46:38.949 --> 00:46:41.829
his wife's helping us out with some. She's a travel agent.
1176
00:46:42.170 --> 00:46:43.969
Helping us out with some trips to Germany. Like our
1177
00:46:43.989 --> 00:46:45.909
trip to Germany. Helping us out with like, you know.
1178
00:46:46.289 --> 00:46:48.730
Getting picked up at a hotel. Sounds super incredible.
1179
00:46:48.750 --> 00:46:51.929
Yeah. Yeah, we leave a week from today. I'm pumped.
1180
00:46:52.230 --> 00:46:54.429
I'm pumped to hear about that, because I've lived in
1181
00:46:54.449 --> 00:46:57.489
Germany on two different stints. Were you ever in Munich?
1182
00:46:58.829 --> 00:47:01.369
Yeah. Yeah. We'll talk after the show.
1183
00:47:01.429 --> 00:47:04.340
But I was living in Cologne for a while, and
1184
00:47:04.380 --> 00:47:06.119
I was living in Freiburg for a while. Both trips,
1185
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:07.860
I spent a significant amount of time in Munich.
1186
00:47:07.940 --> 00:47:10.059
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, come on. Yeah.
1187
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:11.880
Octoberfest.
1188
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:14.940
So, did I do the right thing?
1189
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:15.780
So, we booked a trip.
1190
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:19.820
To have a private driver pick us up at our hotel,
1191
00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:26.710
take us to Austria, to Swarovski, Crystal. I guess the
1192
00:47:26.769 --> 00:47:28.809
ticket's included. We get to go in there and go
1193
00:47:28.849 --> 00:47:32.590
to their little village and all that shit. And then Innsbruck. Yep.
1194
00:47:33.190 --> 00:47:36.690
That's all Austria, right? Mm-hmm. So we're going into Austria,
1195
00:47:36.710 --> 00:47:39.239
and then it takes you to some scenic shit. Again,
1196
00:47:39.260 --> 00:47:41.260
I have never been there, so I'm not talking anything.
1197
00:47:41.900 --> 00:47:44.519
And it takes us back, but it's a full, whole-day thing.
1198
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:47.139
It was like $ 250 a person.
1199
00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:48.349
You'll love it.
1200
00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:51.280
You'll love it. It'll be great. Now, you could have
1201
00:47:51.300 --> 00:47:54.219
done it for $ 70 a person.
1202
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:55.239
If we just took the train.
1203
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:57.579
But. Right.
1204
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:00.260
I'm at the age. We like stress-free travel. I'm at
1205
00:48:00.300 --> 00:48:03.920
the age of convenience. I pay for convenience. I don't
1206
00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:07.019
give a fuck how much it costs. My last stint
1207
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:12.730
in Germany, my wife's company flew her out there. And
1208
00:48:12.789 --> 00:48:14.780
it was a six-month. Work assignment.
1209
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:15.199
Sorry.
1210
00:48:15.460 --> 00:48:17.000
Five months and 29 days.
1211
00:48:18.059 --> 00:48:19.900
Whatever. Yeah, yeah.
1212
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:23.110
And they said, hey, you're
one of four people that's
1213
00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:25.030
invited on this. It's a great opportunity. She goes, great,
1214
00:48:25.070 --> 00:48:26.849
but you have to bring my family. And they said, no, no, no.
1215
00:48:26.949 --> 00:48:27.550
She said, okay, I'm out.
1216
00:48:28.150 --> 00:48:30.329
Two weeks later, they came back and said, okay, we'll
1217
00:48:30.369 --> 00:48:32.320
bring your family. She said, great, what are the details?
1218
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:34.469
Two weeks later, they came back. Okay, here it is.
1219
00:48:34.940 --> 00:48:36.599
By then, it was too late to find anything. We
1220
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:40.360
ended up doing, like, seven Airbnbs in six months. Our
1221
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:45.639
kids got into an outdoor kindergarten, the definition of kindergarten,
1222
00:48:46.130 --> 00:48:49.349
where it came from. No running water, no electricity. The
1223
00:48:49.389 --> 00:48:52.090
boys pee on the vertical stick. The girls back up
1224
00:48:52.130 --> 00:48:53.210
against the horizontal stick.
1225
00:48:53.230 --> 00:48:53.409
Oh, jeez.
1226
00:48:53.429 --> 00:48:55.610
And, like, if you need to go number two, it's
1227
00:48:55.650 --> 00:48:57.989
in the outhouse. But no pee in the outhouse. Like,
1228
00:48:58.070 --> 00:48:59.320
it was intense, right?
1229
00:48:59.340 --> 00:48:59.719
Right, right.
1230
00:49:00.460 --> 00:49:01.059
Loved it.
1231
00:49:01.460 --> 00:49:04.010
The whole time, I was like, hey, we have to
1232
00:49:04.030 --> 00:49:05.090
go here. We have to go here. We have to
1233
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:08.070
go here. So every weekend, we jumped in the company rental. Yeah.
1234
00:49:08.449 --> 00:49:11.110
And we went to Austria. We went to France. We
1235
00:49:11.130 --> 00:49:15.710
went to– It's like hopping states around there, right? There's
1236
00:49:15.769 --> 00:49:18.210
two weeks. Well, it's less than that.
1237
00:49:18.289 --> 00:49:19.969
Oh, yeah. It's like Connecticut. Right, right.
1238
00:49:20.059 --> 00:49:24.170
To California It's like Connecticut states Right, right In California,
1239
00:49:24.190 --> 00:49:24.469
I can drive.
1240
00:49:24.530 --> 00:49:25.610
It takes you two hours to get here, two hours
1241
00:49:25.630 --> 00:49:27.289
to get there. Nine hours in one direction. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1242
00:49:27.309 --> 00:49:28.969
I'm still in the same state. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1243
00:49:29.070 --> 00:49:32.389
Well, California, Texas, and all those states are a little different. Like,
1244
00:49:32.429 --> 00:49:35.829
you drive two hours in any direction, and you're in
1245
00:49:36.329 --> 00:49:36.670
two or.
1246
00:49:36.630 --> 00:49:39.780
Three different countries. Right, right, right. And it's phenomenal. Yeah.
1247
00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:43.699
And it's a different language. It's a different currency. There's
1248
00:49:43.739 --> 00:49:45.599
a lot of Euro, but not everywhere.
1249
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:47.539
Switzerland.
1250
00:49:47.860 --> 00:49:49.840
Switzerland is something you have to hit.
1251
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:52.699
If you have time... We don't have enough time. Okay. Okay. We...
1252
00:49:54.010 --> 00:49:56.380
we we kind of shorten it because nicole doesn't have
1253
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:59.300
that much time to take uh i would have stayed
1254
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:01.960
there for three weeks but she can always fly home
1255
00:50:02.659 --> 00:50:06.840
yeah right so how strong is that marriage so so
1256
00:50:06.860 --> 00:50:11.179

1260
00:50:19.989 --> 00:50:21.840
to be like nine in the morning when we get there.
1261
00:50:22.139 --> 00:50:23.840
Obviously we can't check in the hotel, but we made
1262
00:50:24.059 --> 00:50:27.320
on Thursday night, our first night there reservations at little
1263
00:50:27.380 --> 00:50:29.849
London bar and grill. Does that ring a bell? No.
1264
00:50:29.860 --> 00:50:31.500
So it's supposed to be like, it's like a Michelin
1265
00:50:31.780 --> 00:50:34.619
rated steakhouse. That's not where I eat. So, okay.
1266
00:50:36.260 --> 00:50:37.559
That's Thursday, Friday night.
1267
00:50:37.579 --> 00:50:38.920
It's kind of, we have a free day during the
1268
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:42.780
day and then, uh, randomly popped up about two months
1269
00:50:42.820 --> 00:50:44.340
ago that Papa Roach. I don't know if you know
1270
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:47.039
who they are. Yeah. Yeah. They're playing there in Munich.
1271
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:48.900
What's the last resort?
1272
00:50:49.349 --> 00:50:49.590
Yes.
1273
00:50:49.670 --> 00:50:53.579
This is my last resort. So they're playing there. Don't breathe.
1274
00:50:55.300 --> 00:50:57.440
So they're playing there Friday night. So we're going to
1275
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.880
that concert. Saturday we're going. In Munich. In Munich.
1276
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:01.739
Just random.
1277
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:02.659
That's not why we went.
1278
00:51:02.940 --> 00:51:05.960
I went to so many concerts in Germany.
1279
00:51:05.980 --> 00:51:09.449
It was amazing. Because they'll ask their backup dancers or whatever.
1280
00:51:09.780 --> 00:51:12.250
They're like, how do I say something? And they'll do
1281
00:51:12.269 --> 00:51:13.809
some broken German. Yeah.
1282
00:51:13.969 --> 00:51:15.030
And the crowd erupts.
1283
00:51:15.170 --> 00:51:16.809
And they're like, what the fuck did you just say? Yeah.
1284
00:51:17.710 --> 00:51:21.150
I'm like, oh, but Ramstein comes on stage. And then
1285
00:51:21.550 --> 00:51:24.809
Saturday we go to Austria. And then Sunday is the
1286
00:51:24.849 --> 00:51:26.989
Patriots game at like 2.30. And we're going
to make
1287
00:51:27.030 --> 00:51:29.429
another nice dinner reservation. Obviously do all the fucking.
1288
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:30.590
Dinner after the game?
1289
00:51:31.219 --> 00:51:32.800
Well, it's a 2.30 game. Yeah.
1290
00:51:33.179 --> 00:51:35.679
So, I mean, when I say dinner, at that point
1291
00:51:35.699 --> 00:51:38.300
we're probably so drunk. Have you made one yet? Not
1292
00:51:38.340 --> 00:51:39.000
for that night, no.
1293
00:51:39.099 --> 00:51:43.699
But then we're there Monday. We have zero plans on Monday. Dinner.
1294
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:45.039
The Ratzkeller.
1295
00:51:45.900 --> 00:51:48.960
In Munich. The rats. You just text it to me.
1296
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:50.449
Yeah, I don't even know how to spell it.
1297
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:55.449
I'm portraying the pronunciation on purpose. And other than that...
1298
00:51:55.409 --> 00:51:56.309
Is it bad or traditional?
1299
00:51:56.369 --> 00:51:59.289
Because my girlfriend wants traditional German food. Yeah, it's a
1300
00:51:59.610 --> 00:52:02.769
cellar underneath a main square. You just keep going down
1301
00:52:02.969 --> 00:52:07.260
and it's like stone walls and you get like a
1302
00:52:07.500 --> 00:52:08.800
chunk of meat on a bone.
1303
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:09.360
Oh, yeah.
1304
00:52:09.380 --> 00:52:10.579
Or you get some kind of.
1305
00:52:10.579 --> 00:52:11.380
You're speaking my language.
1306
00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:14.460
Sausage and stuff all over it.
1307
00:52:14.460 --> 00:52:16.460
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely have to do it.
1308
00:52:16.469 --> 00:52:19.349
My girlfriend loves, loves fucking German food.
1309
00:52:19.550 --> 00:52:20.239
So go for it.
1310
00:52:20.469 --> 00:52:21.889
And the other thing is you have to go to
1311
00:52:21.909 --> 00:52:25.170
the Englischer Garten, which is the big, if you look
1312
00:52:25.309 --> 00:52:29.460
at Munich, there's this big green stretch around the Isator River.
1313
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:33.460
And depending on, I mean, it's going to be pretty
1314
00:52:33.500 --> 00:52:36.119
late in November, but they'll probably still be surfing. They
1315
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:38.639
have a certain bridge where they put a rope underneath
1316
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:41.070
the water and they hung some stuff. So it creates
1317
00:52:41.090 --> 00:52:43.650
a natural, what do you call it, flow rider wave
1318
00:52:43.690 --> 00:52:47.050
or whatever it is. It's like a continuous forever surf wave.
1319
00:52:47.070 --> 00:52:49.400
It's going to be cold over there. I already looked.
1320
00:52:49.420 --> 00:52:50.800
They're wearing wetsuits in the summer.
1321
00:52:50.820 --> 00:52:53.960
They'll wear wetsuits. Look it up. Just look at unique surfing.
1322
00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:56.659
So we've been all over Instagram, right? So there was
1323
00:52:56.699 --> 00:53:00.949
this Instagram reel of this boat that goes down that
1324
00:53:01.010 --> 00:53:03.760
river and it has like
I don't know if it's
1325
00:53:03.780 --> 00:53:06.309
that river. There's a boat in Munich that goes down
1326
00:53:06.349 --> 00:53:09.570
this fucking river. It's not, it doesn't really go super fast,
1327
00:53:10.230 --> 00:53:14.070
but you can drink. They put like two kegs on
1328
00:53:14.110 --> 00:53:15.610
it and you just drink on the boat and we're
1329
00:53:15.630 --> 00:53:18.590
all like, we're in. But it stops like it stopped
1330
00:53:18.610 --> 00:53:20.969
last week, I think, or Halloween. It stopped for the
1331
00:53:21.030 --> 00:53:23.710
season because it gets too cold out. I'm like, I'll
1332
00:53:23.730 --> 00:53:25.889
fucking drink. I don't give a fuck how cold it is.
1333
00:53:26.090 --> 00:53:26.389
Come on.
1334
00:53:26.730 --> 00:53:32.300
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to visit the... They have
1335
00:53:32.429 --> 00:53:35.480
little pop-up stands that look like lemonade stands, but they're
1336
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:38.960
selling beer. Because in Germany, there's a law that you
1337
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:41.960
cannot use more than four ingredients in your beer. So
1338
00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:42.760
it's none of this.
1339
00:53:42.980 --> 00:53:43.519
Everything.
1340
00:53:44.059 --> 00:53:47.260
I love everything we're drinking. Illegal to make that journey.
1341
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:50.300
It has to be pure. How's the Jager there?
1342
00:53:50.539 --> 00:53:51.340
Is it different than here?
1343
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:54.739
It's cold, and it's great.
1344
00:53:55.500 --> 00:53:57.460
I don't know if it's different or not, because I
1345
00:53:57.480 --> 00:53:59.280
had very little, but I focused on the beer.
1346
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:00.800
Yeah, the beer.
1347
00:54:00.889 --> 00:54:03.769
My buddy that's coming with me is like, you better
1348
00:54:03.789 --> 00:54:05.130
be ready to drink beer. You know me, I'm not
1349
00:54:05.150 --> 00:54:06.650
a big beer drinker, but I'm like, I'll drink beer,
1350
00:54:06.690 --> 00:54:10.050
but they have liquor there. Go to the Englisher Garden
1351
00:54:10.309 --> 00:54:12.829
and go to the Chinese Tower. The Chinese Tower.
1352
00:54:12.909 --> 00:54:14.429
The Chinese Tower. Can you text me all this stuff.
1353
00:54:14.329 --> 00:54:16.510
Before I go? Yeah, the Chinese Tower, because it's an
1354
00:54:16.659 --> 00:54:21.199
outdoor beer garden. There's a massive tower that clearly looks.
1355
00:54:22.250 --> 00:54:24.760
chinese or asian or whatever yeah and like you're at
1356
00:54:24.820 --> 00:54:27.460
epcot and then you're walking around and do not ever
1357
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:30.159
order a half liter you just got because you're a
1358
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:32.039
man no no.
1359
00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:36.659
No no no that's a three liter i must i
1360
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:39.769
must spit that means one more or one liter yeah
1361
00:54:40.150 --> 00:54:42.309
um but you get the leader and it's a half
1362
00:54:42.349 --> 00:54:45.389
brow and it's so good and then again there you
1363
00:54:45.429 --> 00:54:50.019
can get A chunk of meat that comes, like, it's real, whatever.
1364
00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:51.059
Or you can get smaller sausages.
1365
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:52.980
Like a Brazilian steakhouse kind of thing? No.
1366
00:54:53.019 --> 00:54:54.929
No, I don't mean like they carve it off for you,
1367
00:54:54.969 --> 00:54:55.929
but something that big?
1368
00:54:56.429 --> 00:54:57.429
Bigger. Really?
1369
00:54:57.550 --> 00:54:58.510
You can get as big as you want.
1370
00:54:58.530 --> 00:54:59.809
Oh, really? Like, if you order the.
1371
00:55:00.630 --> 00:55:03.659
It's... It's kind of like a buffet style, but then
1372
00:55:03.719 --> 00:55:06.260
you have to check out when you leave the buffet
1373
00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:08.199
to go sit down at the picnic table in the
1374
00:55:08.219 --> 00:55:08.920
middle of the garden.
1375
00:55:09.340 --> 00:55:09.940
Oh, got you.
1376
00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:12.360
And then if you want more, you go back in
1377
00:55:12.780 --> 00:55:14.610
and you can walk in as many times as you want.
1378
00:55:14.710 --> 00:55:16.250
But every time you walk out, they'll charge you for
1379
00:55:16.289 --> 00:55:16.730
whatever you have.
1380
00:55:16.929 --> 00:55:17.190
Yeah.
1381
00:55:17.429 --> 00:55:19.769
But food is so appropriately priced.
1382
00:55:20.090 --> 00:55:20.349
Yeah.
1383
00:55:20.650 --> 00:55:23.150
So you can think, oh, in the States, this is
1384
00:55:23.170 --> 00:55:25.030
going to cost me 30 bucks for that and 40
1385
00:55:25.030 --> 00:55:27.550
bucks for that. And a liter of beer was eight euros.
1386
00:55:27.670 --> 00:55:27.969
Yeah.
1387
00:55:28.550 --> 00:55:32.550
You know what half a liter cost? four euros because
1388
00:55:32.570 --> 00:55:36.429
in german eight euros is a full liter right half
1389
00:55:36.449 --> 00:55:38.480
of that should be four yeah there's none of this
1390
00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:41.619
supersize me there's none of this like nonsense yeah.
1391
00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:43.239
But if you're walking around if you buy more we'll
1392
00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:45.179
save you a 50 cents but if you're walking around
1393
00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:47.619
with a half liter you'll get some looks so come
1394
00:55:47.699 --> 00:55:50.070
on like all right don't worry about me you've.
1395
00:55:49.889 --> 00:55:52.150
Worried about me no no i'm just saying i'm worried
1396
00:55:52.170 --> 00:55:53.690
about the girls going on this trip i want to
1397
00:55:53.710 --> 00:55:55.500
set the tone I like that.
1398
00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:57.400
Yeah, I am.
1399
00:55:57.860 --> 00:55:59.360
Munich is my backyard.
1400
00:55:59.500 --> 00:56:03.369
This is amazing. Yeah, I do want to do one
1401
00:56:03.389 --> 00:56:05.730
of the Third Reich or Adolf Hitler spots.
1402
00:56:07.349 --> 00:56:07.889
The castle.
1403
00:56:08.130 --> 00:56:09.010
The castle, right?
1404
00:56:09.030 --> 00:56:10.469
I don't know how to get there. I've never made
1405
00:56:10.510 --> 00:56:11.909
it because it's always been on my list.
1406
00:56:12.030 --> 00:56:12.349
Yeah.
1407
00:56:12.610 --> 00:56:16.369
But if you do the double-decker bus, which is super touristy. So, again,
1408
00:56:16.409 --> 00:56:18.949
Monday we have a totally free day. We have nothing planned.
1409
00:56:18.969 --> 00:56:22.280
Do the bus. Yeah, okay. It's so touristy. It's so cliche.
1410
00:56:22.300 --> 00:56:23.820
This is fine, but. But it's so great.
1411
00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:25.679
I did that in Chicago. The boat.
1412
00:56:26.019 --> 00:56:27.639
When I was living over there and I would travel,
1413
00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:29.639
I was never in the same country for more than
1414
00:56:29.659 --> 00:56:30.380
four days in a row.
1415
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.460
Yeah. For a year. Yeah. Really?
1416
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:34.679
And every time I went to a new country, I
1417
00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:36.969
would always jump on the double-decker bus as soon as
1418
00:56:37.010 --> 00:56:38.090
a meeting was done or as soon as I had
1419
00:56:38.110 --> 00:56:40.760
a break. You put the speaker on, you figure out
1420
00:56:40.780 --> 00:56:43.739
which flag is American, and you put the British, and
1421
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:46.440
you push it, and you learn so much in a
1422
00:56:46.500 --> 00:56:49.860
two-hour bus ride. It just goes around the city.
1423
00:56:49.900 --> 00:56:50.920
It goes around, and you're.
1424
00:56:50.820 --> 00:56:56.039
Like, Barcelona, talking about the Gadi district, talking about the Familia,
1425
00:56:56.119 --> 00:57:00.980
Sagrada Familia, talking about how this region has changed from,
1426
00:57:01.219 --> 00:57:02.639
it used to be the poor people that lived here,
1427
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:04.949
but now it's the rich people, and like, So much
1428
00:57:04.989 --> 00:57:05.469
cool stuff.
1429
00:57:05.530 --> 00:57:05.750
Yeah.
1430
00:57:05.829 --> 00:57:16.150
Berlin has more bridges than, um, what's the, the Italian, I, shoot,
1431
00:57:16.190 --> 00:57:17.349
I did the bus in both cities.
1432
00:57:17.809 --> 00:57:18.329
In Florence?
1433
00:57:18.750 --> 00:57:21.010
Not Florence. The other one that's more.
1434
00:57:21.030 --> 00:57:21.969
Not Rome.
1435
00:57:22.409 --> 00:57:25.719
Not Rome, but like the, the one that's an island
1436
00:57:25.739 --> 00:57:27.789
and it sinks all the time. Oh, uh.
1437
00:57:28.269 --> 00:57:29.250
Whatever. Yeah.
1438
00:57:29.389 --> 00:57:32.010
But, like, to think that Berlin has more bridges.
1439
00:57:32.090 --> 00:57:35.010
The whiskey's talking right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just
1440
00:57:35.050 --> 00:57:38.599
so fun. It's so fun. I love it. Yeah, I'm
1441
00:57:38.619 --> 00:57:40.400
really looking forward to it. Like, we, uh.
1442
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:42.099
It's also 20-plus years ago, so.
1443
00:57:42.340 --> 00:57:45.199
Yeah, no, no, no, no. I'm sure, yeah. And they
1444
00:57:45.219 --> 00:57:48.360
started doing their protests in Frankfurt, so they'll probably be
1445
00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:51.039
there during... Actually, this is what I was chatting PT
1446
00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:53.630
in the other night when they started asking me for money.
1447
00:57:54.409 --> 00:57:58.179
I was like, hey... I'm traveling to Germany, Munich. I'm
1448
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:03.829
staying at Munich City East Courtyard Marriott. You know, do
1449
00:58:04.769 --> 00:58:08.070
I have to worry about these current riots slash protests
1450
00:58:08.429 --> 00:58:12.050
in Germany? And they're like, they literally wrote me like, well,
1451
00:58:12.110 --> 00:58:14.269
if you're staying over there, you're probably pretty good. They
1452
00:58:14.289 --> 00:58:16.230
say to avoid downtown. And then I just started getting
1453
00:58:16.250 --> 00:58:18.409
all this stuff like, do the Patriots have a fan fest?
1454
00:58:18.469 --> 00:58:19.760
And this and that, blah, blah, blah. And then they
1455
00:58:19.780 --> 00:58:21.260
finally just shut me off. Like, well, you need to
1456
00:58:21.300 --> 00:58:24.539
pay me money now because your 24 hours of like
1457
00:58:24.619 --> 00:58:26.820
five questions is up. And I'm like, son of a bitch.
1458
00:58:27.460 --> 00:58:31.179
But you're right next to the train station. Yes, I
1459
00:58:31.219 --> 00:58:31.659
know that.
1460
00:58:32.019 --> 00:58:33.880
And I'm kind of a little pissed that I booked
1461
00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:41.429
this trip because I could have. So Swarovski. Their Christmas
1462
00:58:41.550 --> 00:58:47.429
village starts Wednesday, the 11th, the day we fly out.
1463
00:58:47.969 --> 00:58:51.309
So they'll have it there. And this whole trip, again,
1464
00:58:51.389 --> 00:58:53.730
I don't have to get on public transportation, but we
1465
00:58:53.750 --> 00:58:55.889
can definitely that Monday take a train wherever.
1466
00:58:55.670 --> 00:58:56.989
The hell we want to, too.
1467
00:58:57.269 --> 00:58:59.170
Yeah, you can have a lot of fun.
1468
00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:00.050
It'll be a good time.
1469
00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:00.780
It'll be good.
1470
00:59:00.909 --> 00:59:02.820
I'm not a public transport guy, though, but I know
1471
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:05.599
it's different over there. It's completely different. So you get
1472
00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:09.239
a bond card, and you get a 10 pass, and
1473
00:59:09.300 --> 00:59:13.039
you spend 30 euros, and you can jump on any
1474
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:16.320
10 trains you want in the next 60 days.
1475
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:17.360
It's unreal.
1476
00:59:17.530 --> 00:59:19.769
And the difference there is that you don't have to
1477
00:59:19.829 --> 00:59:22.530
look at the MTA app and say, oh, if I
1478
00:59:22.570 --> 00:59:24.809
leave here, it's going to take an hour. If I
1479
00:59:24.869 --> 00:59:26.650
leave here, it's
going to take an hour and a half. No,
1480
00:59:26.670 --> 00:59:28.619
you just show up. And there's going to be a
1481
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:29.619
train in the next three minutes.
1482
00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:30.059
Right.
1483
00:59:30.179 --> 00:59:31.380
And it's going to get you there in eight minutes.
1484
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:34.489
It's just always constantly flowing. It's nonstop because their density
1485
00:59:34.530 --> 00:59:35.650
is so much better than us.
1486
00:59:35.690 --> 00:59:36.030
Yeah.
1487
00:59:36.329 --> 00:59:38.849
And people accept it because you can't own a car.
1488
00:59:39.269 --> 00:59:39.429
Right.
1489
00:59:39.469 --> 00:59:41.250
The amount of people that live that close together.
1490
00:59:41.269 --> 00:59:44.530
I don't know the statistics, but most of them don't
1491
00:59:44.570 --> 00:59:46.349
have cars. You can't.
1492
00:59:47.150 --> 00:59:48.239
It's like Manhattan.
1493
00:59:48.320 --> 00:59:50.300
Yeah. Not everyone can own a car. Right.
1494
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:52.340
They shouldn't have any cars in Manhattan.
1495
00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:52.460
Right.
1496
00:59:53.050 --> 00:59:56.809
That would be delightful. And then there should be a bridge.
1497
00:59:57.050 --> 00:59:58.489
There should be a bridge that goes over it so
1498
00:59:58.530 --> 01:00:02.159
I can get to Newark faster. But make a really
1499
01:00:02.219 --> 01:00:06.079
good public transportation system other than the subways and the bullshit.
1500
01:00:06.099 --> 01:00:10.059
You just asked for too much. I hope in my
1501
01:00:10.099 --> 01:00:12.219
lifetime I see the bridge that goes to Long Island.
1502
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:14.769
I think that would be cool as fuck. Is that
1503
01:00:14.849 --> 01:00:16.989
something that's on the list? There is some billionaire developer
1504
01:00:17.030 --> 01:00:21.570
talking about it. What's the span? Probably at least 10 miles?
1505
01:00:23.050 --> 01:00:25.429
I mean, it also gets to be, what, 300 feet
1506
01:00:25.530 --> 01:00:27.429
deep in the middle? Like I said, I'm 52. I
1507
01:00:27.449 --> 01:00:28.989
don't think I'll see it in my lifetime. They can't
1508
01:00:29.010 --> 01:00:32.059
be floating pillars, can they? No, no, no.
1509
01:00:32.139 --> 01:00:34.739
They've got to go down. Yeah, yeah. So that would
1510
01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:37.119
be an interesting engineering challenge.
1511
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:40.380
It took them over 30-something years just to do the
1512
01:00:40.500 --> 01:00:43.250
big dig in Boston. And it's still not 100%.
1513
01:00:43.250 --> 01:00:45.590
You know what would be fascinating is if you could
1514
01:00:45.630 --> 01:00:47.710
build a floating road.
1515
01:00:48.070 --> 01:00:48.309
Yeah.
1516
01:00:48.650 --> 01:00:52.710
So for some... 10-mile stretch, you don't have to actually
1517
01:00:52.750 --> 01:00:53.469
do foundations.
1518
01:00:53.789 --> 01:00:55.010
Whatever. I'm not an engineer.
1519
01:00:55.030 --> 01:00:56.329
I'm just a professional.
1520
01:00:56.349 --> 01:01:01.150
We just get too many storms up here, though. Yeah. Yeah.
1521
01:01:01.530 --> 01:01:03.550
Any hurricane that comes up, we're screwed.
1522
01:01:03.710 --> 01:01:04.570
Yeah, we're screwed.
1523
01:01:04.809 --> 01:01:07.909
Not that we get big butt. If a Sandy came,
1524
01:01:08.329 --> 01:01:09.530
we're screwed.
1525
01:01:09.710 --> 01:01:10.989
Or whatever that Nor'easter was.
1526
01:01:11.550 --> 01:01:14.449
That Nor'easter did some serious stuff around town, and we
1527
01:01:14.469 --> 01:01:15.309
didn't even get hit hard.
1528
01:01:15.469 --> 01:01:19.030
I was supposed to have the Milford Little League.
1529
01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:19.639
Golf tournament that.
1530
01:01:20.489 --> 01:01:21.929
Tuesday? The storm?
1531
01:01:22.489 --> 01:01:24.960
That's what it was. It was the Oktoberfest. They could
1532
01:01:24.980 --> 01:01:26.900
do Friday night. They canceled Saturday.
1533
01:01:26.940 --> 01:01:27.900
Yes, yes, yes.
1534
01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:30.530
They canceled Saturday. Sunday was horrid.
1535
01:01:31.010 --> 01:01:31.230
Yep.
1536
01:01:31.510 --> 01:01:33.849
Monday was recovery slash a little bit of drizzle.
1537
01:01:33.969 --> 01:01:34.150
Yep.
1538
01:01:34.510 --> 01:01:37.860
I was supposed to play Tuesday and Fairchild Wheeler called
1539
01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:40.360
on Monday and said, hey, we know it's not raining
1540
01:01:40.389 --> 01:01:43.539
today and it's not going to rain tomorrow. But we're flooded.
1541
01:01:43.579 --> 01:01:47.840
We lost trees. Maybe it's going to be walking only Wednesday.
1542
01:01:48.099 --> 01:01:48.400
Maybe.
1543
01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:52.300
But we're absolutely not open tomorrow. And I said, well, guys,
1544
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:52.760
this sucks.
1545
01:01:54.460 --> 01:01:55.639
So what do I do?
1546
01:01:57.199 --> 01:01:57.739
Oh, man.
1547
01:01:57.760 --> 01:01:58.739
All right.
1548
01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:00.820
I was going to get into a little politics because
1549
01:02:01.619 --> 01:02:02.139
last night.
1550
01:02:02.199 --> 01:02:05.539
Why not? I don't really want to know. I want
1551
01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:07.429
to ask you about the plane that went down in Florida.
1552
01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:10.389
What do you think about that? I know nothing about it.
1553
01:02:10.389 --> 01:02:13.969
Give me some details. Are you really off the grid?
1554
01:02:14.070 --> 01:02:18.349
I told you before this started. My daughter is awesome.
1555
01:02:18.449 --> 01:02:23.159
She just turned eight yesterday. And she does soccer and
1556
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:29.539
basketball and runs my life. My son plays baseball on
1557
01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:34.260
too many teams. Already started basketball. We haven't finished baseball yet. Well,
1558
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:37.309
we finished baseball on Monday. Super cool game.
1559
01:02:37.349 --> 01:02:38.530
They all wore their
costumes.
1560
01:02:38.849 --> 01:02:40.829
That's cute. So fun. That's cute.
1561
01:02:41.949 --> 01:02:45.730
And I swear it's eight days a week. We have
1562
01:02:46.050 --> 01:02:46.369
two events.
1563
01:02:46.409 --> 01:02:47.210
I get it. I get it.
1564
01:02:47.230 --> 01:02:49.800
So as I said, I don't watch the news. I
1565
01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:53.059
don't watch TV. I'm lucky to figure out if I
1566
01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:55.079
can start Game of Thrones Season 3 soon.
1567
01:02:56.460 --> 01:03:00.119
I don't even know when that was. We watched Crystal Lake.
1568
01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:07.179
So Crystal Lake is a prequel show on Netflix about
1569
01:03:07.340 --> 01:03:11.650
Friday the 13th. Oh, really? Yeah. Actually, very good. But
1570
01:03:11.690 --> 01:03:15.690
I was so tired on Tuesday night or Monday night.
1571
01:03:15.750 --> 01:03:17.090
Is it coming out now? No, it's out.
1572
01:03:17.150 --> 01:03:19.090
It's out. You can watch all eight episodes.
1573
01:03:19.110 --> 01:03:20.250
It's out now. Oh, okay.
1574
01:03:20.289 --> 01:03:22.989
But it's newer this year. Oh, it just came out
1575
01:03:23.110 --> 01:03:24.150
like two weeks ago.
1576
01:03:24.250 --> 01:03:25.489
Got it. Very good.
1577
01:03:25.530 --> 01:03:27.260
If you like to gore and you grew up on
1578
01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:27.800
that kind of shit.
1579
01:03:27.860 --> 01:03:34.610
You're 10 years beyond my Netflix queue. So anyway, so
1580
01:03:34.650 --> 01:03:39.320
this Learjet 60 takes off from Texas to go to
1581
01:03:39.340 --> 01:03:42.199
the Bahamas. This is real life. This is real life. Okay.
1582
01:03:42.639 --> 01:03:43.849
And I can't believe it.
1583
01:03:43.880 --> 01:03:44.619
From Texas.
1584
01:03:44.780 --> 01:03:45.360
From Texas.
1585
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:48.280
That's a short flight. Yeah, to the Bahamas is short.
1586
01:03:49.219 --> 01:03:51.670
And they get to about where my mom lives in Florida,
1587
01:03:51.849 --> 01:03:53.150
about the Fort Myers area.
1588
01:03:54.489 --> 01:03:57.570
And there's all these storms popping up, like reds and
1589
01:03:57.630 --> 01:03:58.349
yellow storms.
1590
01:03:58.369 --> 01:04:01.010
But you'd go above it. Isn't that the concept of
1591
01:04:01.090 --> 01:04:06.219
an airplane? They flew through one, and then they asked
1592
01:04:06.260 --> 01:04:09.940
the flight control, whoever they're talking to, ground control, we're
1593
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:11.860
going to rise up to 37,000 feet and try to
1594
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:15.659
get over it. And next thing you know, so there
1595
01:04:15.699 --> 01:04:19.889
was a 20-year-old co-pilot. She was a young girl. And
1596
01:04:20.090 --> 01:04:21.610
there was the pilot. I hadn't heard much about him.
1597
01:04:21.670 --> 01:04:24.460
And there was like, four really rich people on the
1598
01:04:24.519 --> 01:04:27.679
fucking thing with their fucking kids right no it's a
1599
01:04:27.719 --> 01:04:31.800
two million dollar plane and it's a buy not to
1600
01:04:31.860 --> 01:04:34.550
mention it's a million to pay gas for and all
1601
01:04:34.590 --> 01:04:40.989
that this fucking plane just ended up nose diving at
1602
01:04:40.989 --> 01:04:45.309
585 miles an hour into a rural street in florida
1603
01:04:45.489 --> 01:04:46.239
how many lived.
1604
01:04:47.820 --> 01:04:50.099
Sorry on the ground everybody.
1605
01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:53.690
Too soon So this is one of those, you know,
1606
01:04:53.829 --> 01:04:57.969
I'm a conspiracy guy. Everyone's fucking texting me and asking
1607
01:04:57.989 --> 01:05:00.820
me about it. And I said, you know. That's how
1608
01:05:00.860 --> 01:05:02.460
you knew. It wasn't because it was in the news.
1609
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:05.340
It's because people text you. No, I go on Twitter
1610
01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:07.159
all the time. This is where I see all my shit.
1611
01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:09.800
That is the news now. Another failure. Okay. Failure. So.
1612
01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:15.079
I actually said to a lot of my friends, you know,
1613
01:05:15.139 --> 01:05:18.179
sometimes planes just fucking crash. You know, there's nothing. There's
1614
01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:19.690
no conspiracy behind it.
1615
01:05:20.139 --> 01:05:21.739
You know, you said I said this.
1616
01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:25.079
I'm like, because I see the videos and people are
1617
01:05:25.099 --> 01:05:26.420
because it was near Mar-a-Lago.
1618
01:05:26.579 --> 01:05:28.739
So it happened near Trump's fucking house.
1619
01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:31.559
So you're thinking it's like, no, I'm not thinking people
1620
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:35.380
are thinking that. OK, this is this because it fucking
1621
01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:39.739
landed so fast and there's no debris. Everything disintegrated. So
1622
01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:43.019
my girlfriend's texting me from work. What's up with this jet?
1623
01:05:43.539 --> 01:05:45.719
So now I'm like, all right, fuck it. I'll play
1624
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:49.820
the conspiracy theorist. Two planes flew into the World Trade
1625
01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:54.030
Center towers, right? Filled with fucking gas. The whole thing collapsed.
1626
01:05:54.090 --> 01:05:56.210
I don't care what you think about it. That's the
1627
01:05:56.250 --> 01:05:59.329
story they told us. And yet they found one of
1628
01:05:59.349 --> 01:06:01.449
the hijackers' passports.
1629
01:06:00.929 --> 01:06:01.429
In the rubble.
1630
01:06:02.130 --> 01:06:02.449
Okay?
1631
01:06:03.389 --> 01:06:05.349
She's like, oh, I didn't think about that.
1632
01:06:06.010 --> 01:06:09.360
I go, so... You're telling me that this plane at
1633
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:11.710
600 miles an hour flew into the ground and you
1634
01:06:11.750 --> 01:06:14.610
can't even discern anything from the plane. It's all gone.
1635
01:06:15.969 --> 01:06:17.469
And there's no human bones.
1636
01:06:17.510 --> 01:06:20.730
There's
no teeth. There's no nothing. But they found a
1637
01:06:20.769 --> 01:06:24.039
passport and kind of the same kind of thing. They
1638
01:06:24.059 --> 01:06:26.559
weren't flying as fast, but they had more gas than
1639
01:06:26.579 --> 01:06:29.690
this plane did. So I just get her going.
1640
01:06:30.050 --> 01:06:32.730
She's like, no, she works with a bunch of like...
1641
01:06:32.570 --> 01:06:33.280
You're an asshole.
1642
01:06:34.500 --> 01:06:38.239
You are a genuine, certified asshole. But I love it.
1643
01:06:38.380 --> 01:06:41.010
But I'm like, you know, she's like, she works with
1644
01:06:41.050 --> 01:06:41.590
a bunch of like.
1645
01:06:42.329 --> 01:06:43.550
You could have said anything.
1646
01:06:44.469 --> 01:06:47.369
You know three of the hijackers survived?
1647
01:06:47.389 --> 01:06:50.880
I can manipulate her. She's awesome.
1648
01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:52.639
She always comes in.
1649
01:06:52.659 --> 01:06:53.760
She works with a lot of liberals.
1650
01:06:53.820 --> 01:06:56.539
It is what it is. I'm not being political. She
1651
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:01.429
also works with a lot of conspiracy theorists. She'll text
1652
01:07:01.449 --> 01:07:03.090
me once a day about what do you think about this?
1653
01:07:03.110 --> 01:07:05.670
What do you think about that? Sometimes I give my
1654
01:07:05.710 --> 01:07:08.550
honest answer. Sometimes I give an answer that a conspiracy
1655
01:07:08.570 --> 01:07:10.710
theorist would give. I'm still level-headed.
1656
01:07:10.750 --> 01:07:12.409
I'm like, I've seen the videos.
1657
01:07:12.739 --> 01:07:14.900
It looks like a fucking Learjet flying into the ground
1658
01:07:14.940 --> 01:07:17.340
at 600 miles an hour. Like, if you slow-mo, because
1659
01:07:17.380 --> 01:07:19.119
it's on, like, a dash cam. I'll show you the
1660
01:07:19.139 --> 01:07:22.000
video after the show. And I'm like, but, you know,
1661
01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:24.460
I'll tweak them. Because I know who she works with.
1662
01:07:24.500 --> 01:07:26.460
I'm like, I'll tweak them. Fuck them. Fuck them.
1663
01:07:26.500 --> 01:07:27.900
Yeah, let's have her say something.
1664
01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:28.780
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1665
01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:32.420
So, yeah, it's just a lot. And then the elections
1666
01:07:32.460 --> 01:07:34.820
last night, the blue wave came.
1667
01:07:35.809 --> 01:07:36.670
So all the blue-haired.
1668
01:07:36.829 --> 01:07:38.309
Was that unexpected on your part?
1669
01:07:38.349 --> 01:07:38.409
No.
1670
01:07:39.699 --> 01:07:43.480
Well, it was to an extent expected. I didn't think
1671
01:07:43.500 --> 01:07:44.480
it would be as bad as it was.
1672
01:07:45.059 --> 01:07:48.019
Texas turning blue, whoever saw that in their lifetime, been
1673
01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:50.639
like 70-something years.
1674
01:07:50.739 --> 01:07:52.440
Florida was closed. They kept it.
1675
01:07:53.860 --> 01:07:56.619
But I think it was just like Connecticut
is blue,
1676
01:07:56.840 --> 01:07:59.710
but it got really blue, which was disappointing to me.
1677
01:08:00.090 --> 01:08:01.150
More so in what way?
1678
01:08:02.860 --> 01:08:09.059
More state senators more local politicians you know flip the seats.
1679
01:08:09.239 --> 01:08:12.880
Obviously Lamont won you know it's just.
1680
01:08:14.900 --> 01:08:17.760
What I hate is everything's tied to Trump and again
1681
01:08:17.779 --> 01:08:19.979
I used to be a big Trumper I'm just a
1682
01:08:20.020 --> 01:08:23.779
Trumper now he's got two years left he's gone don't
1683
01:08:23.810 --> 01:08:25.689
have to listen to him anymore he was never a
1684
01:08:25.729 --> 01:08:27.289
diplomatic person do you think he's really gone?
1685
01:08:28.430 --> 01:08:29.329
He can't run again.
1686
01:08:30.670 --> 01:08:33.520
He won't say that Yeah, but he says that to
1687
01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:37.680
fuck with the fucking people asking him. He can't. It's literally,
1688
01:08:37.979 --> 01:08:41.399
you'd have to change laws. And now we don't own those.
1689
01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:44.050
We don't own the Senate or the fucking Congress to
1690
01:08:44.090 --> 01:08:46.949
change them. So if he really wanted to, he would
1691
01:08:46.970 --> 01:08:48.529
have done it in the last two years. He's 80
1692
01:08:48.529 --> 01:08:48.949
years old.
1693
01:08:48.989 --> 01:08:49.670
I don't think.
1694
01:08:49.689 --> 01:08:55.010
I think his biggest legacy he wants is dismantling Iran.
1695
01:08:55.050 --> 01:08:58.329
And this is what's costing us right now. Is dismantling Iran,
1696
01:08:58.369 --> 01:08:59.869
making sure they have no nukes and there are no
1697
01:09:00.260 --> 01:09:02.340
a player in this terrorist game. I think that is
1698
01:09:02.380 --> 01:09:06.600
his legacy he wants. By him doing that in his
1699
01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:11.340
second term, he has caused gas prices to go up,
1700
01:09:11.500 --> 01:09:14.020
not as high as the Biden era, but he's caused
1701
01:09:14.050 --> 01:09:15.770
them to go up, and Biden didn't have, by the way,
1702
01:09:15.810 --> 01:09:18.569
an Iran war going on, or the Straits of Hormuz closed.
1703
01:09:19.699 --> 01:09:24.649
And the gas prices were still high. But it's become his, like,
1704
01:09:24.659 --> 01:09:26.060
I don't know.
1705
01:09:26.100 --> 01:09:26.899
It's hard to explain.
1706
01:09:26.970 --> 01:09:29.310
But I just feel like he put all his eggs
1707
01:09:29.350 --> 01:09:33.310
in one basket on this Iran stuff. And it unfortunately
1708
01:09:33.390 --> 01:09:37.710
affected the whole country into local politics. Because people, like,
1709
01:09:38.109 --> 01:09:40.850
TDS is a real thing. People really hate him so much.
1710
01:09:41.310 --> 01:09:44.250
It doesn't matter who's on the ballot. What's TDS?
1711
01:09:44.970 --> 01:09:46.210
Trump derangement syndrome.
1712
01:09:46.869 --> 01:09:47.670
I've never heard that.
1713
01:09:47.789 --> 01:09:51.239
People hate Trump so much. That doesn't matter what's going on.
1714
01:09:51.270 --> 01:09:52.970
Doesn't matter what's going on. They're going to vote blue.
1715
01:09:52.989 --> 01:09:54.289
That makes sense. They're going to vote blue.
1716
01:09:55.109 --> 01:09:55.989
And I wish the state had.
1717
01:09:55.970 --> 01:09:58.670
A local politics. Well, we talked about the average American. Yeah. Yeah, right, right.
1718
01:09:58.689 --> 01:10:00.430
We talked about it on the show.
1719
01:10:00.449 --> 01:10:02.350
If you want to bring it up now, go ahead.
1720
01:10:02.510 --> 01:10:06.560
Doesn't take much. No. So these are my thoughts.
1721
01:10:06.729 --> 01:10:07.520
It's not your thoughts.
1722
01:10:07.539 --> 01:10:10.220
These are mine. I just think the Iran war is
1723
01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:15.680
what really flipped the states blue again.
1724
01:10:16.100 --> 01:10:17.140
Is it a war now?
1725
01:10:19.100 --> 01:10:20.279
I know we've lost a lot of people. They'll label
1726
01:10:20.300 --> 01:10:21.260
it a war. It's not.
1727
01:10:21.319 --> 01:10:23.239
It's a conflict. It's not.
1728
01:10:23.619 --> 01:10:27.039
There's no troops on the ground. There's no troops on
1729
01:10:27.060 --> 01:10:30.840
the ground. It's just open the fucking straight. Get rid
1730
01:10:30.859 --> 01:10:32.699
of your nukes. You haven't done it. We're going to
1731
01:10:32.739 --> 01:10:33.420
kill your leaders.
1732
01:10:34.260 --> 01:10:36.380
I don't know. Vietnam was never really a war. That
1733
01:10:36.399 --> 01:10:37.619
has to be the worst, right?
1734
01:10:37.880 --> 01:10:41.310
Right. Like the worst. Yeah. I don't know. I mean,
1735
01:10:41.430 --> 01:10:44.130
Ukraine and fucking Russia are still at war. And that
1736
01:10:44.149 --> 01:10:48.060
started when Biden took over. So they're on six years now. Like....
1737
01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:51.960
But that's still not a war to us, is it?
1738
01:10:52.149 --> 01:10:52.779
To us, no.
1739
01:10:52.819 --> 01:10:55.970
That's their war, not ours. We fucking gave them a shitload.
1740
01:10:56.010 --> 01:10:59.090
We spent billions of our tax money on it. But
1741
01:10:59.130 --> 01:11:04.890
that's okay. This world will never be at peace, ever.
1742
01:11:05.789 --> 01:11:08.250
It just never will. Why do people have to suck?
1743
01:11:09.350 --> 01:11:10.689
I don't know. Why can't we just be nice? I
1744
01:11:10.720 --> 01:11:13.779
don't get it. It's like that guy who stole my
1745
01:11:14.739 --> 01:11:18.899
fucking damn candy bucket. No, but I mean that in sincerity.
1746
01:11:19.380 --> 01:11:22.399
I know what you mean. Why do people have to suck?
1747
01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:25.220
Why do you not think about other people before you
1748
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:25.899
make actions?
1749
01:11:25.979 --> 01:11:27.680
Seven deadly sins, you know?
1750
01:11:28.729 --> 01:11:29.359
It really is.
1751
01:11:29.390 --> 01:11:32.470
Power, money, lust, gluttony.
1752
01:11:32.970 --> 01:11:35.390
Sounds so nice. Yeah. Can you imagine? Maybe we should
1753
01:11:35.430 --> 01:11:38.590
watch Seven tonight when I get home. All the cheesecake
1754
01:11:38.869 --> 01:11:41.750
I could ever want. You know what my secret is?
1755
01:11:42.109 --> 01:11:46.750
It's actually French silk pie. French silk pie? Yeah.
1756
01:11:46.829 --> 01:11:48.329
My wife made it for.
1757
01:11:48.229 --> 01:11:50.569
Me for my birthday. Oh, wow. Because I never get
1758
01:11:50.609 --> 01:11:52.329
to touch it any other time in the year. And
1759
01:11:52.369 --> 01:11:53.930
she made it for my birthday a couple years ago.
1760
01:11:53.949 --> 01:11:58.029
She's like, is this really what you enjoy? I loved it.
1761
01:11:58.159 --> 01:11:58.739
I ate the whole thing.
1762
01:11:58.920 --> 01:11:59.880
Let's switch tunes a little bit.
1763
01:12:00.020 --> 01:12:00.779
All right.
1764
01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:03.579
You're on death row, right? And you get your last meal.
1765
01:12:04.060 --> 01:12:06.600
Oh, I've seen these Twitters. I already know what your
1766
01:12:06.619 --> 01:12:08.119
dessert is. What's your last meal?
1767
01:12:08.979 --> 01:12:13.100
A Costco ribeye that I get to cook with, I'm
1768
01:12:13.140 --> 01:12:15.420
going to mess up the name, but it's the same
1769
01:12:15.659 --> 01:12:20.430
seasoning that comes at Costco, steak seasoning from, what is
1770
01:12:20.489 --> 01:12:21.449
the brand that they have?
1771
01:12:21.470 --> 01:12:21.949
Kinder? Kinder.
1772
01:12:22.949 --> 01:12:24.699
Not Kinder. That's like healthy.
1773
01:12:25.220 --> 01:12:26.460
Oh. Whatever. Yeah.
1774
01:12:26.579 --> 01:12:27.859
Like it's just all salt.
1775
01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:31.220
Yeah. Just all salt. But I have to tell you,
1776
01:12:31.380 --> 01:12:34.680
I can cook one hell of a ribeye from Cosby.
1777
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:37.300
Not the thin cut junk. Yeah. Not the one that
1778
01:12:37.319 --> 01:12:38.399
you buy in the full wall.
1779
01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:39.380
You got to slice it yourself.
1780
01:12:39.399 --> 01:12:42.079
Yeah. No. I want like the thick cut from their butchers.
1781
01:12:42.140 --> 01:12:44.479
They do the great job. The marbleization.
1782
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:45.859
And you know what?
1783
01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:47.659
I just cooked three of them.
1784
01:12:49.539 --> 01:12:50.699
What is it today? Wednesday?
1785
01:12:50.739 --> 01:12:52.420
That must have been Thursday last week.
1786
01:12:52.659 --> 01:12:52.880
Yeah.
1787
01:12:52.899 --> 01:12:53.699
Oh, God, it was so good.
1788
01:12:53.819 --> 01:12:54.039
Nice.
1789
01:12:54.079 --> 01:12:56.020
I cooked three of them. My wife and I had
1790
01:12:56.060 --> 01:12:56.859
three quarters of one.
1791
01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:02.600
The rest go in a glass Tupperware in the fridge, and.
1792
01:13:02.539 --> 01:13:04.060
That's my lunch next week.
1793
01:13:04.260 --> 01:13:06.760
He makes steak sandwiches out of it the whole night. Oh,
1794
01:13:06.859 --> 01:13:09.760
we've got a lot of... This is... I'm going to
1795
01:13:09.779 --> 01:13:11.060
go on a tangent. I don't know if you want
1796
01:13:11.079 --> 01:13:14.060
this or not. Go ahead. I bought a Blackstone grill,
1797
01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:17.020
the portable one. Not the one with the legs and everything,
1798
01:13:17.039 --> 01:13:20.789
but like... The two-burner portable that is super easy.
1799
01:13:20.829 --> 01:13:22.829
You wheel it around? No, you put it on a
1800
01:13:22.869 --> 01:13:25.250
six-foot folding table. You bring it to the kids' baseball games.
1801
01:13:25.270 --> 01:13:26.550
Oh, it's really portable. Yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha.
1802
01:13:26.569 --> 01:13:29.050
You bring it to the kids' baseball games. And we
1803
01:13:29.090 --> 01:13:32.590
cook up food at every one of these Gators doubleheaders.
1804
01:13:32.729 --> 01:13:32.949
Yeah.
1805
01:13:33.289 --> 01:13:36.029
And it's so fun. Depending on what time the game is,
1806
01:13:36.069 --> 01:13:37.489
we'll do breakfast sandwiches.
1807
01:13:37.510 --> 01:13:40.180
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll do lunch. We'll do dinner, whatever.
1808
01:13:40.189 --> 01:13:42.439
Flat-top grills are the fucking best. Oh, it's so great.
1809
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:46.529
So... I just, I don't know where I was going
1810
01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:48.159
with that, but it was so fun because it got
1811
01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:50.819
me thinking about it. And I have all these tortillas
1812
01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:53.470
left over because we were supposed to do burritos. And
1813
01:13:53.510 --> 01:13:55.390
that game got canceled because it was rained out. It
1814
01:13:55.609 --> 01:13:58.670
rained every Sunday for like six weeks in a row. Oh, yeah.
1815
01:13:58.750 --> 01:14:00.229
I know. I know. So that's when our games were.
1816
01:14:00.250 --> 01:14:02.069
The first night Sunday was when I had the Irish
1817
01:14:02.109 --> 01:14:02.829
bar at my house.
1818
01:14:02.850 --> 01:14:03.270
I lucked out.
1819
01:14:03.289 --> 01:14:06.770
So I had breakfast sandwiches and English muffins, and I
1820
01:14:06.829 --> 01:14:08.130
kept them for like six weeks.
1821
01:14:08.310 --> 01:14:08.550
Yeah.
1822
01:14:08.689 --> 01:14:10.050
And by the time we finally had a breakfast game
1823
01:14:10.069 --> 01:14:12.409
where we could cook breakfast sandwiches, I ate the first one.
1824
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:14.359
I said, throw those out. We're using his bread.
1825
01:14:14.380 --> 01:14:17.079
Throw it at all the English muffins. Anyways, so.
1826
01:14:17.510 --> 01:14:19.930
I have all these tortillas. And I was like, what
1827
01:14:19.949 --> 01:14:20.789
do I do with these tortillas?
1828
01:14:20.810 --> 01:14:21.449
The season's over.
1829
01:14:21.470 --> 01:14:28.770
There's no more baseball. So I'm just making burritos and quesadillas.
1830
01:14:27.609 --> 01:14:30.010
And everything with my steak. That's
where I was going. Now,
1831
01:14:30.020 --> 01:14:33.720
do you take, when you cook the ribeyes, so I
1832
01:14:33.960 --> 01:14:36.819
have a setup at my house where I have the
1833
01:14:36.859 --> 01:14:39.779
flat top grill and then I have the regular grill.
1834
01:14:40.659 --> 01:14:43.199
So when I do steaks, I turn the flat top
1835
01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:45.939
as high as I can. Sear it. And let it
1836
01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:49.109
run for 20 minutes. And then season, season, sear it
1837
01:14:49.130 --> 01:14:52.270
for about 30, 45 seconds, flip it, and then I
1838
01:14:52.289 --> 01:14:54.689
put it on the grill to finish it off, to
1839
01:14:54.729 --> 01:14:58.439
get to a nice medium rare, whatever. It's nice.
1840
01:14:58.909 --> 01:15:02.439
So when I first moved in, I recommend this to anybody.
1841
01:15:03.720 --> 01:15:09.819
I already had a big, huge gas tank, propane tank
1842
01:15:09.859 --> 01:15:11.680
that heats my garage, right?
1843
01:15:12.079 --> 01:15:13.739
My garage was like yours. It's separate from the house.
1844
01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:16.489
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So on my deck, I had my
1845
01:15:16.529 --> 01:15:19.010
grill that we brought from the condo that we moved from.
1846
01:15:19.250 --> 01:15:21.609
And then I won my Blackstone at a golf tournament.
1847
01:15:21.649 --> 01:15:24.170
So I set it all up. Baller. Yeah, I'm like.
1848
01:15:24.470 --> 01:15:25.090
Long drive?
1849
01:15:26.189 --> 01:15:26.989
Closest to the hole?
1850
01:15:27.010 --> 01:15:29.100
Raffle, raffle, raffle. Lie.
1851
01:15:29.409 --> 01:15:34.210
Lie. No, no, no. Hole-in-one. Hole-in-one. Yeah. Hole-in-one won me.
1852
01:15:34.220 --> 01:15:35.420
Not the car. Won me a grill.
1853
01:15:36.340 --> 01:15:40.500
So on my back deck, I have both grills. So
1854
01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:42.520
the guy was over to fill up the tank, right?
1855
01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:43.279
It's big.
1856
01:15:43.340 --> 01:15:44.470
It's fucking this tall.
1857
01:15:45.710 --> 01:15:48.850
And I go, do you guys do propane tanks for
1858
01:15:48.930 --> 01:15:52.310
grills and stuff? He goes, nah, we're more industrial size.
1859
01:15:53.069 --> 01:15:55.619
I go, he goes, let me see what your setup is.
1860
01:15:55.680 --> 01:15:57.560
And he walks over and he goes, oh, I can
1861
01:15:57.619 --> 01:16:00.500
put an 80-gallon tank right here with a splitter and
1862
01:16:00.520 --> 01:16:01.659
I can fucking feed both.
1863
01:16:02.479 --> 01:16:03.420
This was two years ago.
1864
01:16:04.220 --> 01:16:08.810
I grill all the fucking time. And I haven't refilled
1865
01:16:08.850 --> 01:16:12.569
it yet. And I run both at the same time, whatever. Dude.
1866
01:16:12.930 --> 01:16:15.010
It's amazing. The only problem is if you don't have
1867
01:16:15.050 --> 01:16:17.489
a propane tank to heat something, they.
1868
01:16:17.350 --> 01:16:19.100
Won't just give you the little one. It's not this little.
1869
01:16:19.119 --> 01:16:20.579
It's like this big. And they won't show up to
1870
01:16:20.640 --> 01:16:20.970
fill it.
1871
01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:23.199
Right, right, right. You got to call them. So it's like,
1872
01:16:23.520 --> 01:16:23.800
all right.
1873
01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:25.399
But this guy's like, no, we won't even charge you
1874
01:16:25.420 --> 01:16:27.460
for the rental. You just pay for the fillet. And
1875
01:16:27.500 --> 01:16:29.500
then it's like, I'm like, dude, I don't. At the time,
1876
01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:31.520
I didn't think I'd be grilling that much. Now I'm
1877
01:16:31.539 --> 01:16:33.159
fucking grilling three, four nights a week.
1878
01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:33.819
It's fucking awesome.
1879
01:16:33.859 --> 01:16:35.659
I love being out there. I got my little radio
1880
01:16:35.699 --> 01:16:38.909
out there. I'm just listening to music, flipping fucking smash burgers, whatever.
1881
01:16:39.510 --> 01:16:43.130
My neighbor came. He called me, and he's.
1882
01:16:43.029 --> 01:16:44.850
Like, hey, you home? And I was like, yeah, what's up?
1883
01:16:44.869 --> 01:16:45.630
He goes, come outside.
1884
01:16:46.369 --> 01:16:47.989
And I walk out the front door, and I see
1885
01:16:48.069 --> 01:16:51.770
his kid wheeling like a little Red Ryder cart. It's
1886
01:16:51.829 --> 01:16:55.300
like three propane tanks, the five-gallon tanks, you know, right?
1887
01:16:55.859 --> 01:16:57.579
And I'm like, what the hell is Carter doing?
1888
01:16:58.079 --> 01:17:01.359
And then here comes Sean pushing his Weber grill. And
1889
01:17:01.380 --> 01:17:03.149
he's like, hey, man, I'm upgrading my grill.
1890
01:17:03.689 --> 01:17:05.350
We've got to throw yours out. Take this one.
1891
01:17:05.590 --> 01:17:09.789
Right. Real awesome. Tells you about my character.
1892
01:17:09.850 --> 01:17:13.109
Yeah. That's the same grill I'm using now five years later. Right.
1893
01:17:15.210 --> 01:17:18.069
He has those nice grill bars on it, so it's
1894
01:17:18.109 --> 01:17:21.279
not the normal things. It's the flames.
1895
01:17:20.909 --> 01:17:22.640
Don't come up.
1896
01:17:22.699 --> 01:17:25.239
Well, they lay over the top of them. Yeah. The
1897
01:17:25.260 --> 01:17:27.380
bars are gone. I take them out, and it fits in.
1898
01:17:27.399 --> 01:17:28.500
They're a custom fit.
1899
01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:29.000
Oh, gotcha.
1900
01:17:29.380 --> 01:17:32.760
And if you flip it over, it acts as a flat.
1901
01:17:32.579 --> 01:17:33.399
Top, but there's holes.
1902
01:17:33.460 --> 01:17:35.800
So you can do stuff, but only when it's super hot.
1903
01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:36.779
I never do that.
1904
01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:39.500
I just want the grill marks. So you salt the
1905
01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:40.539
shit out of these things.
1906
01:17:40.579 --> 01:17:41.180
You put them on.
1907
01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:44.649
Seven minutes later, you flip it. Seven minutes later, you
1908
01:17:44.670 --> 01:17:45.170
take
it off.
1909
01:17:45.930 --> 01:17:47.800
Done. I don't sear.
1910
01:17:47.859 --> 01:17:48.699
I don't do any of that.
1911
01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:50.439
No. Like, I should. I just like having that little
1912
01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:52.659
crust on it to sear it. Oh, absolutely.
1913
01:17:52.699 --> 01:17:55.020
I get it. But it is perfect. If you put
1914
01:17:55.060 --> 01:17:56.159
a Weber at half.
1915
01:17:56.600 --> 01:17:58.659
Yeah. And seven. You have to.
1916
01:17:59.220 --> 01:18:01.180
I run it for 30, 40 minutes before I start
1917
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:03.539
just to make sure. Because it's all metal and you
1918
01:18:03.560 --> 01:18:04.699
want to heat the metal and you want to get
1919
01:18:04.729 --> 01:18:05.100
the flame.
1920
01:18:05.390 --> 01:18:05.699
Of course.
1921
01:18:05.819 --> 01:18:09.329
But seven and seven. That's the answer these days. I do.
1922
01:18:09.829 --> 01:18:12.109
For the thick ones. I'll do like the bacon first
1923
01:18:12.609 --> 01:18:14.750
and I'll push it off to the side. On the
1924
01:18:14.789 --> 01:18:15.079
flat top.
1925
01:18:15.210 --> 01:18:16.250
On the flat top. Yeah.
1926
01:18:16.310 --> 01:18:17.449
And I'll let the grease stay there.
1927
01:18:17.470 --> 01:18:17.829
Yeah.
1928
01:18:17.850 --> 01:18:19.090
And then I'll do the french fries.
1929
01:18:19.329 --> 01:18:21.189
Frozen. You gotta let them thaw out. And then you
1930
01:18:21.229 --> 01:18:23.869
throw the french fries on into the bacon grease. Yeah.
1931
01:18:24.289 --> 01:18:26.010
And then you just let them fucking sit for a
1932
01:18:26.010 --> 01:18:28.770
little while. You push those off. Sounds like you have
1933
01:18:28.810 --> 01:18:30.100
a 42 inch. No, I don't.
1934
01:18:30.109 --> 01:18:31.310
I have 36.
1935
01:18:31.310 --> 01:18:31.619
Really?
1936
01:18:31.659 --> 01:18:33.420
Actually, 28. I'm a two burner too.
1937
01:18:33.779 --> 01:18:36.600
Oh, jeez. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I won in a tournament.
1938
01:18:38.020 --> 01:18:39.819
So anyway, and then I'll do that. And then we'll
1939
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:41.079
finish those off in the oven and get a little
1940
01:18:41.100 --> 01:18:42.880
more crisp. And then I'll do the burgers and stuff. Yeah.
1941
01:18:43.869 --> 01:18:46.239
Seasoning is everything. It really is for a lot of
1942
01:18:46.279 --> 01:18:48.510
this shit. A really good steak, I don't think you
1943
01:18:48.520 --> 01:18:51.390
need to season more than salt. and pepper yeah but
1944
01:18:51.789 --> 01:18:55.149
montreal montreal is good that's the one but that's what
1945
01:18:55.180 --> 01:18:57.100
i'm talking about it's just burgers though like i use
1946
01:18:57.140 --> 01:18:59.340
that dano i use i season the fuck out of
1947
01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:00.800
my burgers all sorts of different shit.
1948
01:19:00.859 --> 01:19:02.779
I'll just grab stuff i'm like let's go let's go
1949
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:03.180
let's go.
1950
01:19:03.119 --> 01:19:06.140
Do a juicy lucy I've never actually made one, though.
1951
01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:08.100
That's with the cheese in the middle, right? The two patties,
1952
01:19:08.140 --> 01:19:09.340
you put the cheese in the middle. It can be
1953
01:19:09.359 --> 01:19:11.220
done well. It can be done horribly. Yeah, I can imagine.
1954
01:19:11.239 --> 01:19:12.979
When you bite into it and you burn the shit
1955
01:19:13.020 --> 01:19:14.159
out of your mouth. Oh, yeah.
1956
01:19:14.180 --> 01:19:15.939
You probably got to let that sit for a little bit, huh?
1957
01:19:15.979 --> 01:19:16.579
Yeah.
1958
01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:18.579
Or cut it open. But that defeats the point.
1959
01:19:20.319 --> 01:19:21.890
That's something I learned how to make. So this is
1960
01:19:21.930 --> 01:19:24.529
a funny story. So if you look up behind you,
1961
01:19:24.670 --> 01:19:27.210
you'll see Sean Healy Memorial Golf Tournament. Yeah.
1962
01:19:28.050 --> 01:19:31.069
So it's a friend of ours that passed away. And
1963
01:19:31.609 --> 01:19:34.609
that was the first year in 2024.
1964
01:19:35.029 --> 01:19:38.909
So we had a tournament, and the grand prize in
1965
01:19:38.930 --> 01:19:41.970
the raffle, or the big raffle, was winning the Blackstone.
1966
01:19:42.670 --> 01:19:46.029
So that was how I won the Blackstone. Oh, that tournament.
1967
01:19:46.050 --> 01:19:49.770
That tournament. So then last year, I just put all
1968
01:19:49.810 --> 01:19:53.069
my ducks in one basket, or eggs in one basket,
1969
01:19:53.649 --> 01:19:58.569
on this beautiful yellow stand-up rolling cooler with the doors.
1970
01:19:59.090 --> 01:20:04.260
Hit it, right? This year... I put $ 20 into the
1971
01:20:04.300 --> 01:20:06.579
golden ticket. That's how I won the rambling in to
1972
01:20:06.619 --> 01:20:09.279
come to my house. I am like three for fucking
1973
01:20:09.319 --> 01:20:11.359
three for my buddy Sean Healy's tournament.
1974
01:20:11.800 --> 01:20:14.159
Hell yeah, buddy. Hell yeah.
1975
01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:18.279
See, my friends hate me because I always win raffle stuff. Yeah,
1976
01:20:18.319 --> 01:20:18.840
I do too.
1977
01:20:19.579 --> 01:20:23.550
And I'm organizing and managing and setting up and emailing
1978
01:20:23.590 --> 01:20:26.569
these people just like the turkey trot for the Little
1979
01:20:26.590 --> 01:20:32.189
League tournament, the United Way tournament, for the Purple Pantry tournament.
1980
01:20:32.819 --> 01:20:37.279
And I'll always win an exceptional amount of things. So
1981
01:20:37.319 --> 01:20:40.359
I give my tickets to my buddies and say, hey,
1982
01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:44.210
if these win, keep them inside. I'm keeping this, but
1983
01:20:44.409 --> 01:20:46.529
don't make it clear it's me because I'm reading the numbers.
1984
01:20:46.550 --> 01:20:48.930
I don't know my numbers.
1985
01:20:48.949 --> 01:20:51.130
You're an insider trader.
1986
01:20:51.170 --> 01:20:54.670
Right, exactly. So
I'm reading this. And at one point,
1987
01:20:54.909 --> 01:21:01.020
this was the Purple Pantry event that happened just this March. No, May.
1988
01:21:01.220 --> 01:21:03.760
This was May. It was 420, I think. Maybe it
1989
01:21:03.779 --> 01:21:07.149
was last year. Anyways, so I gave it to my buddy, Kevin,
1990
01:21:07.590 --> 01:21:10.369
and I was like, buddy, if any of these tickets
1991
01:21:10.430 --> 01:21:12.789
win the 50-50, you just take the money and you
1992
01:21:12.810 --> 01:21:14.090
hand it right back because it goes.
1993
01:21:14.010 --> 01:21:15.369
Straight to the charity. That's what it's about.
1994
01:21:15.609 --> 01:21:17.510
We're here for charity. That's why I don't play 50-50 anymore.
1995
01:21:17.529 --> 01:21:19.939
That's a whole other thing. And it turns out that
1996
01:21:19.979 --> 01:21:22.899
it was like $ 900 is what was going to the winner,
1997
01:21:22.939 --> 01:21:24.939
which is like the biggest 50-50 we've had at one
1998
01:21:24.979 --> 01:21:27.180
of these events. It's not a huge amount of money,
1999
01:21:27.239 --> 01:21:28.779
but it's huge for a golf tournament.
2000
01:21:29.239 --> 01:21:30.300
That's a good number.
2001
01:21:31.159 --> 01:21:32.770
And that means $ 1, 800 was.
2002
01:21:32.689 --> 01:21:33.090
In, right?
2003
01:21:33.229 --> 01:21:36.930
So he's walking up and he's like, he's mouthing to me,
2004
01:21:37.010 --> 01:21:38.989
it's yours, it's yours. And I'm sitting there and I
2005
01:21:38.989 --> 01:21:41.060
was like, you better fucking return that.
2006
01:21:42.180 --> 01:21:44.579
So he takes it, turns and looks at the crowd
2007
01:21:44.600 --> 01:21:45.199
and hands it back.
2008
01:21:45.220 --> 01:21:47.359
He's like, oh, look at that good guy right there.
2009
01:21:48.340 --> 01:21:49.449
Everyone was booing him.
2010
01:21:49.470 --> 01:21:52.000
Like, It was great.
2011
01:21:52.300 --> 01:21:54.399
I'm weird on 50-50.
2012
01:21:55.180 --> 01:21:57.489
For a charity, it's different than at a baseball game.
2013
01:21:57.850 --> 01:22:02.409
Well, all right. So I'll even go one step further. Yes, baseball, basketball.
2014
01:22:02.470 --> 01:22:04.060
Yeah, you win it, you win it.
2015
01:22:04.550 --> 01:22:04.909
Whatever.
2016
01:22:04.949 --> 01:22:05.609
It's 20 grand.
2017
01:22:05.710 --> 01:22:10.659
Right, right. It's a lot of money. But I hate...
2018
01:22:10.260 --> 01:22:14.579
If you're going to a cancer fundraiser or something like that, fucking, yeah,
2019
01:22:14.619 --> 01:22:17.390
give the money back. Like... I would rather not even,
2020
01:22:17.409 --> 01:22:18.909
don't even give me a ticket because I don't want
2021
01:22:18.949 --> 01:22:21.750
to have to make that decision. Just take my $ 20
2022
01:22:21.689 --> 01:22:22.750
and put it towards it, you know?
2023
01:22:23.810 --> 01:22:26.489
And I was. But you have to do gimmicks to
2024
01:22:26.529 --> 01:22:27.510
get people to give you that $ 20.
2025
01:22:27.449 --> 01:22:28.649
No, no, no, no, no, no.
2026
01:22:28.689 --> 01:22:31.720
I'm saying me personally, like just, yeah, I'll just give
2027
01:22:31.729 --> 01:22:33.380
you money. I'm generous as fuck.
2028
01:22:33.399 --> 01:22:34.020
I'll give you money.
2029
01:22:35.199 --> 01:22:37.340
And I hit, I was, oh God, it's.
2030
01:22:37.220 --> 01:22:40.000
20 something years ago. It was Kiwanis in Milford. They
2031
01:22:40.079 --> 01:22:41.779
had a golf tournament every year I used to go to.
2032
01:22:41.800 --> 01:22:46.199
I don't go to it anymore, but. I was really fucking, like,
2033
01:22:46.720 --> 01:22:50.199
broke at the time. Like, I fucking owed, like, I
2034
01:22:50.220 --> 01:22:54.039
was probably 20-something years old. I owed $ 5, 000 in car
2035
01:22:54.720 --> 01:22:57.210
taxes to the fucking car I had in West Haven
2036
01:22:57.229 --> 01:23:00.930
because it was so ridiculous. Because Connecticut taxes your fucking
2037
01:23:00.989 --> 01:23:02.310
cars every year. Right.
2038
01:23:02.609 --> 01:23:05.390
What is that? And, you know, I'm living with three roommates.
2039
01:23:05.470 --> 01:23:06.989
It was not a great time in my life.
2040
01:23:07.149 --> 01:23:12.529
But I won, like, $ 1, 300.
2041
01:23:09.850 --> 01:23:11.819
And I was, like, the last person to put my
2042
01:23:11.859 --> 01:23:15.369
fucking number in. They pull it. And it was one
2043
01:23:15.409 --> 01:23:16.710
of the security guards at Stonebridge.
2044
01:23:16.729 --> 01:23:19.680
She's like, oh, the dog. She's like, dog, dog, dog.
2045
01:23:19.699 --> 01:23:20.819
You want him? I'm like, holy shit.
2046
01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:24.260
Everyone's like, put it back.
2047
01:23:24.819 --> 01:23:27.399
I'm like, no, I'm not. And I was young, too.
2048
01:23:27.479 --> 01:23:29.279
I mean, if it was me now, I would. But
2049
01:23:29.300 --> 01:23:30.119
that's totally fine.
2050
01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:32.149
Right. It's a different. So then I go to like,
2051
01:23:32.310 --> 01:23:34.289
you know, I see him everywhere now. And I'm like,
2052
01:23:35.350 --> 01:23:37.829
to me, it really depends on the event. You know,
2053
01:23:37.869 --> 01:23:40.609
like if it's somebody, if it's a cancer fundraiser or
2054
01:23:40.649 --> 01:23:43.529
any kind of health fundraiser. Dude, again.
2055
01:23:43.550 --> 01:23:44.250
It depends on the organization.
2056
01:23:44.270 --> 01:23:47.409
I don't want my tickets drawn. I don't even want the,
2057
01:23:47.550 --> 01:23:50.010
I don't want the praise of giving it back.
2058
01:23:50.029 --> 01:23:52.710
I don't care about that shit. But it's about the organization.
2059
01:23:53.210 --> 01:23:55.390
If they're already making a million dollars, two million dollars,
2060
01:23:55.409 --> 01:23:58.069
two million dollars a year. Right, right. They don't care
2061
01:23:58.109 --> 01:24:00.109
about two grand. If I'm winning a Fenway, I'm taking
2062
01:24:00.140 --> 01:24:04.319
the
fucking 30 grand. No, no, 100%. But if it's
2063
01:24:04.340 --> 01:24:06.859
the Purple Pantry and our annual budget is 70 grand
2064
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:07.720
a year. Right.
2065
01:24:07.800 --> 01:24:09.359
And you're talking about giving back 800 bucks.
2066
01:24:09.380 --> 01:24:12.039
Right. Holy shit.
2067
01:24:12.220 --> 01:24:12.600
Yeah.
2068
01:24:12.859 --> 01:24:15.039
That's more than a percent. Right, right, right.
2069
01:24:15.439 --> 01:24:19.520
That's a big deal. Now, it's different for different organizations.
2070
01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:19.699
Right.
2071
01:24:19.720 --> 01:24:21.340
It's different for what their focuses are.
2072
01:24:22.779 --> 01:24:26.250
But just the fact that, don't call it a 50-50 raffle.
2073
01:24:26.489 --> 01:24:28.729
But then people don't get money. No, but no. Because
2074
01:24:28.869 --> 01:24:30.029
the gambling, the excitement.
2075
01:24:30.149 --> 01:24:34.479
No, this bothers me because I feel it's false advertising.
2076
01:24:35.300 --> 01:24:37.239
I'm one of the most generous people you'll find, as
2077
01:24:37.279 --> 01:24:39.159
you are as well. Three quarters of the people keep
2078
01:24:39.180 --> 01:24:39.500
the money.
2079
01:24:40.079 --> 01:24:42.550
Right, I know. But, like, do it some.
2080
01:24:42.869 --> 01:24:44.010
Buy a fucking TV.
2081
01:24:44.630 --> 01:24:47.149
Like, do something where you don't have to force the
2082
01:24:47.210 --> 01:24:51.090
person into being an asshole or a savior. See, I
2083
01:24:51.130 --> 01:24:53.489
don't think of them as an asshole. Yeah, you might not,
2084
01:24:53.569 --> 01:24:55.770
but fucking people there, they're chanting them on.
2085
01:24:55.840 --> 01:24:56.720
Donate it back.
2086
01:24:56.800 --> 01:24:58.000
And I'm like, oh, man.
2087
01:24:58.020 --> 01:24:59.319
Maybe that guy needs the money.
2088
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:01.819
That's maybe why he fucking took the raffle ticket.
2089
01:25:02.039 --> 01:25:03.930
But they're drunk. They don't remember it the next day.
2090
01:25:03.939 --> 01:25:07.520
Not every event, though. Not every event. I get what
2091
01:25:07.539 --> 01:25:09.819
you're saying. I've had an issue with 50-50 for a
2092
01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:10.359
long time.
2093
01:25:10.380 --> 01:25:12.949
I get what you're saying, and I fully appreciate it.
2094
01:25:13.340 --> 01:25:17.050
But in an environment like we're in today, which is
2095
01:25:17.100 --> 01:25:19.909
completely different than it was... six years ago, five years,
2096
01:25:20.090 --> 01:25:24.989
four years ago, getting sponsors, getting money, anything is so
2097
01:25:25.010 --> 01:25:27.229
much more difficult. This is, I don't want to bring
2098
01:25:27.270 --> 01:25:29.130
this up. This is the first year we're not going
2099
01:25:29.149 --> 01:25:31.029
to be able to cover all of our costs for
2100
01:25:31.050 --> 01:25:32.170
the turkey trout with sponsors.
2101
01:25:32.630 --> 01:25:33.409
Really? Yeah.
2102
01:25:33.510 --> 01:25:37.039
Because so all great organizations, I'm not going to throw
2103
01:25:37.100 --> 01:25:37.840
anyone under the bus.
2104
01:25:38.020 --> 01:25:38.779
Everyone is awesome.
2105
01:25:38.800 --> 01:25:40.739
They've all given out money many years in a row.
2106
01:25:41.220 --> 01:25:43.420
There are so many organizations that can't give money this
2107
01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:44.800
year because of the climate we're in.
2108
01:25:45.140 --> 01:25:45.319
Yeah.
2109
01:25:45.930 --> 01:25:49.109
And they've already committed money here or they just don't
2110
01:25:49.170 --> 01:25:52.369
have it or they're not even in business anymore. Like,
2111
01:25:52.970 --> 01:25:54.649
it's not a good environment.
2112
01:25:54.670 --> 01:25:55.210
Right.
2113
01:25:55.430 --> 01:25:58.149
And there are so many more golf tournaments. There are
2114
01:25:58.220 --> 01:26:01.680
so many more runs. There are so many more people
2115
01:26:01.729 --> 01:26:05.140
in need or family members of their own that they know.
2116
01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:06.119
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2117
01:26:06.239 --> 01:26:09.060
The heartbreaking stories are what caused me to say, like,
2118
01:26:09.180 --> 01:26:13.779
I don't... Everyone is awesome. They're all great. You have
2119
01:26:13.800 --> 01:26:14.600
the benefit of the doubt.
2120
01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:15.210
But....
2121
01:26:16.640 --> 01:26:18.600
I'm going to ask you once. If you don't respond,
2122
01:26:18.619 --> 01:26:21.039
I'll ask you twice. If you tell me, hey, I can't,
2123
01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:24.420
I'm not going to ask you again. And this is
2124
01:26:24.479 --> 01:26:27.020
our lowest fundraising year in four years.
2125
01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:28.060
And that's fine.
2126
01:26:28.439 --> 01:26:30.689
It's totally fine. It just means that this is the
2127
01:26:30.729 --> 01:26:33.949
first year. Not 100% of the race registration money is
2128
01:26:33.970 --> 01:26:34.689
going to go to charity.
2129
01:26:34.930 --> 01:26:36.050
Right. And that's fine. Right.
2130
01:26:36.149 --> 01:26:37.890
It's totally fine. We're still going to be a lot
2131
01:26:37.909 --> 01:26:38.170
of money.
2132
01:26:38.289 --> 01:26:39.369
You're not making a dime.
2133
01:26:39.590 --> 01:26:42.539
It's all going to charity. Nobody in the entire tourney
2134
01:26:42.560 --> 01:26:44.119
trot makes a cent.
2135
01:26:44.359 --> 01:26:44.939
Right. And that's fine.
2136
01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:47.739
But we love giving more money each year, right? Everyone
2137
01:26:47.760 --> 01:26:49.840
loves growth. Everyone loves this, that.
2138
01:26:49.920 --> 01:26:54.149
Right. And it's in the current situation. Oh, now Dems
2139
01:26:54.189 --> 01:27:01.840
control everything. So you're screwed. Yeah. That's what put us here. Well, yeah,
2140
01:27:01.880 --> 01:27:06.619
but still, but still, it's just, it's just.
2141
01:27:06.500 --> 01:27:10.390
Crazy to see of, even when I'm,
when I'm working
2142
01:27:10.449 --> 01:27:13.739
on the Milford United way golf tournament, people are like, Oh,
2143
01:27:13.750 --> 01:27:15.710
well this is like my sixth golf tournament of the year.
2144
01:27:15.729 --> 01:27:17.840
I'm like, number one, I didn't get invited. So invite
2145
01:27:17.859 --> 01:27:22.420
me next time. Number two, Like, holy shit, there's so many.
2146
01:27:22.479 --> 01:27:24.239
And you mentioned it. Oh, I used to do this one.
2147
01:27:24.260 --> 01:27:27.720
I used to do that one. Dude, my friend that
2148
01:27:27.739 --> 01:27:29.819
still works at Stonebridge, he plays in like two a week.
2149
01:27:29.840 --> 01:27:31.159
He doesn't pay for any of them. But here's the thing.
2150
01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:33.460
They're sponsored by whoever and whoever and whoever.
2151
01:27:33.739 --> 01:27:35.510
How do I find out about those? Because I want
2152
01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:37.949
to play in them. And there's.
2153
01:27:39.590 --> 01:27:41.670
No central pop, right? You have to know someone. You
2154
01:27:41.689 --> 01:27:42.329
have to be on a list.
2155
01:27:42.350 --> 01:27:44.590
Well, a lot of these are just sold out automatically.
2156
01:27:44.609 --> 01:27:46.960
It's the same people from last year. You know what
2157
01:27:46.979 --> 01:27:50.220
I mean? Casey's Irish Pub sells out before it was
2158
01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:52.560
even announced. I couldn't play in the last few years,
2159
01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:54.279
but yeah, I still gave her $ 100 to put my
2160
01:27:54.300 --> 01:27:56.260
sign up. I can't play.
2161
01:27:56.279 --> 01:27:56.859
That one's impressive.
2162
01:27:56.880 --> 01:27:59.359
It's a Tuesday. It's during the week, and I'm like, fuck,
2163
01:27:59.420 --> 01:28:00.800
I can't do it. Yeah.
2164
01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:02.939
I've got to take two days off, basically. I've got
2165
01:28:02.979 --> 01:28:03.470
Tuesday off.
2166
01:28:03.430 --> 01:28:07.710
To play, and Wednesday I'm on over. Because the tournament's
2167
01:28:07.750 --> 01:28:10.250
not done until 8, and then we, what did you
2168
01:28:10.270 --> 01:28:13.869
call it? PLP? PLP, you got it. We're parking a
2169
01:28:13.869 --> 01:28:15.130
lot of party all night, baby.
2170
01:28:16.189 --> 01:28:18.710
I'm going to throw some PLPs after my Little League
2171
01:28:18.750 --> 01:28:21.350
baseball game. You got to, dude. Just without the shots.
2172
01:28:22.189 --> 01:28:22.649
Well, whatever.
2173
01:28:22.670 --> 01:28:25.109
You do your PLP, however the fuck you want to
2174
01:28:25.270 --> 01:28:27.449
do your PLP. We'll bring some pizza life down.
2175
01:28:27.489 --> 01:28:29.779
I just want to bring PLPs to the conversation, to.
2176
01:28:29.659 --> 01:28:31.819
The table, to know that these exist.
2177
01:28:32.260 --> 01:28:35.079
Oh, it sounds like a great time. What did I
2178
01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:36.939
tell you? We went to Meriden for a football game,
2179
01:28:38.359 -->
01:28:42.000
uh for one of brayden's football games and she drove
2180
01:28:42.500 --> 01:28:44.119

01:28:58.029 --> 01:28:59.329
in the fucking one of the sleeves.
2186
01:28:59.390 --> 01:28:59.789
Grab them.
2187
01:29:00.189 --> 01:29:01.250
I can't sit here.
2188
01:29:01.149 --> 01:29:04.930
All day and watch putrid football being played. I cheer
2189
01:29:04.970 --> 01:29:07.029
on the kid all day long, but it's just fucking.
2190
01:29:07.090 --> 01:29:10.020
It's not happening. It's not happening, man. And I love it,
2191
01:29:10.109 --> 01:29:14.109
and I'll keep supporting him. But yeah, PLPs, baby. Go
2192
01:29:14.130 --> 01:29:16.550
out to the parking lot. I just got a brand new.
2193
01:29:16.569 --> 01:29:17.100
Ripping it.
2194
01:29:17.140 --> 01:29:17.529
Ripping it.
2195
01:29:17.939 --> 01:29:19.680
I just got a brand new golf bag. One of
2196
01:29:19.689 --> 01:29:22.760
those Ask Echoes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are nice.
2197
01:29:22.939 --> 01:29:23.619
In cooler.
2198
01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:24.500
Oh, really? Yeah.
2199
01:29:25.989 --> 01:29:29.029
I literally took it out of it's just is it.
2200
01:29:29.109 --> 01:29:30.649
A it's a cart it's a cart it's a cart
2201
01:29:30.810 --> 01:29:33.699
bag no I'm when I don't walk when I was
2202
01:29:33.739 --> 01:29:36.100
a caddy and when I was a caddy master I
2203
01:29:36.739 --> 01:29:38.979
despised those people I hated those people.
2204
01:29:38.840 --> 01:29:41.039
Yeah because they cost you money and I am I
2205
01:29:41.100 --> 01:29:42.449
am That person now.
2206
01:29:42.510 --> 01:29:42.770
Of course.
2207
01:29:42.890 --> 01:29:43.550
Of those people now.
2208
01:29:43.789 --> 01:29:44.069
Dude.
2209
01:29:44.550 --> 01:29:46.890
But it's got a built-in cooler. Half of the fun
2210
01:29:46.930 --> 01:29:48.829
of golf is driving around in a golf cart.
2211
01:29:48.850 --> 01:29:51.130
Dude. You were talking about a four caddy.
2212
01:29:51.189 --> 01:29:52.909
I was amazed that he's still carrying your bag.
2213
01:29:53.109 --> 01:29:55.729
Most four caddies. Right. The bags are on the carts. Yeah.
2214
01:29:55.829 --> 01:29:58.329
That caddy's just running up ahead to make sure he
2215
01:29:58.369 --> 01:29:59.949
doesn't die.
2216
01:30:00.010 --> 01:30:01.149
He or she. But still.
2217
01:30:01.170 --> 01:30:02.109
Oh, Jesus Christ.
2218
01:30:02.289 --> 01:30:03.109
You're in a safe zone.
2219
01:30:04.670 --> 01:30:10.000
I played at Great River. On Mother's Day, because I
2220
01:30:10.079 --> 01:30:10.619
fucked up.
2221
01:30:10.699 --> 01:30:16.760
And I had my Purple Pantry Golf Tournament on the
2222
01:30:16.859 --> 01:30:19.090
Monday after Mother's Day. Totally fucked up.
2223
01:30:19.439 --> 01:30:21.119
My two buddies that fly in every year to play
2224
01:30:21.159 --> 01:30:22.100
with me from Minnesota.
2225
01:30:22.239 --> 01:30:22.479
Yeah.
2226
01:30:22.880 --> 01:30:25.770
First year they were fathers, so they missed their wives'
2227
01:30:25.850 --> 01:30:28.109
first Mother's Day. Because they flew out here to play
2228
01:30:28.149 --> 01:30:28.390
with me.
2229
01:30:28.409 --> 01:30:32.310
Well, that's on them, not you. Well, they're kind of
2230
01:30:32.350 --> 01:30:35.409
peer pressured. So we're playing and they.
2231
01:30:36.060 --> 01:30:38.779
They said, we're not allowing you three assholes to go
2232
01:30:38.819 --> 01:30:41.020
out and play golf on Great River when no one
2233
01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:43.020
else is on the course because it's Mother's Day, so
2234
01:30:43.060 --> 01:30:43.619
no one's playing.
2235
01:30:44.470 --> 01:30:45.949
And you have to take a caddy.
2236
01:30:45.970 --> 01:30:48.069
And we're like, okay, fine, we'll take a caddy. So
2237
01:30:48.109 --> 01:30:49.949
you paid the, hold on, you paid the $ 2.
2238
01:30:49.350 --> 01:30:50.189
50 a head?
2239
01:30:51.149 --> 01:30:53.050
It was at least $ 2. 50 a head for the member
2240
01:30:53.069 --> 01:30:54.640
for a day. And then, yeah, member for a day.
2241
01:30:54.649 --> 01:30:56.609
And then we paid an additional lot of money for
2242
01:30:56.630 --> 01:30:57.890
this caddy. For the four caddy, yes. But it was
2243
01:30:57.930 --> 01:30:58.609
a four caddy.
2244
01:30:59.130 --> 01:31:03.960
So she ended up just riding on the cart with us,
2245
01:31:04.199 --> 01:31:06.939
hanging out. And we finally get through a couple holes
2246
01:31:07.020 --> 01:31:07.720
and she's comfortable.
2247
01:31:07.760 --> 01:31:10.600
And we're like, fuck it. Like, you're a scratch plus one,
2248
01:31:10.659 --> 01:31:14.149
whatever you are from whatever university. Like, just take this club.
2249
01:31:14.170 --> 01:31:16.409
Do you know her? I know a couple girls there, yeah.
2250
01:31:16.430 --> 01:31:16.729
And....
2251
01:31:18.489 --> 01:31:21.449
And she like had graduated, but was still amateur and
2252
01:31:21.489 --> 01:31:23.210
was about to go pro and like all this stuff.
2253
01:31:23.250 --> 01:31:23.770
I'm like, fuck it.
2254
01:31:23.810 --> 01:31:24.909
Like, we don't, we don't believe you.
2255
01:31:24.930 --> 01:31:26.289
Like, just take a club. She just grabs a club.
2256
01:31:26.310 --> 01:31:28.210
She's like, Oh, this club's kind of shit like this.
2257
01:31:28.250 --> 01:31:30.430
Like sticks at three inches on the hole where like
2258
01:31:30.449 --> 01:31:33.300
the water's just behind it. It's like way down low
2259
01:31:33.340 --> 01:31:35.310
and you're, I don't know the course, but good enough
2260
01:31:35.350 --> 01:31:38.010
to like, but like she just
sticks it.
2261
01:31:38.020 --> 01:31:41.439
We're like, like a par three. Yeah. We're like fucking shit.
2262
01:31:41.720 --> 01:31:44.479
We're just, and like there's water all in the, like
2263
01:31:44.539 --> 01:31:47.119
behind it until the left and the holes down low.
2264
01:31:47.180 --> 01:31:49.270
And we're just like, God, God damn it, we're really
2265
01:31:49.310 --> 01:31:50.069
not good at this sport.
2266
01:31:51.399 --> 01:31:52.979
Oh, that's the short one down the hill when the
2267
01:31:53.020 --> 01:31:53.600
water's to your left.
2268
01:31:53.619 --> 01:31:54.640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2269
01:31:54.659 --> 01:31:55.930
That is hole 14.
2270
01:31:55.920 --> 01:31:56.819
Why do we try?
2271
01:31:56.859 --> 01:31:58.819
That's 14. Why do we even try?
2272
01:31:58.840 --> 01:32:00.939
I know. She was effortless.
2273
01:32:01.939 --> 01:32:05.020
I think she took her shoes off because she's like,
2274
01:32:05.060 --> 01:32:07.460
these aren't like natural golf shoes. I've got to play barefoot.
2275
01:32:07.500 --> 01:32:11.449
These are like caddy shoes. And we're like, go just fuck.
2276
01:32:11.989 --> 01:32:14.840
Oh, man. Oh, that's good, man. That's good stuff. Good
2277
01:32:14.859 --> 01:32:16.199
to talk to you. I used to play there all
2278
01:32:16.220 --> 01:32:19.109
the time. I love it there. Great to talk to you, man. Again,
2279
01:32:19.210 --> 01:32:21.949
let's do a final plug for Turkey Trot. It is
2280
01:32:21.970 --> 01:32:27.090
the 26th this year, Thanksgiving. Thursday, the start time is?
2281
01:32:27.090 --> 01:32:28.210
9 a.m.
2282
01:32:29.430 --> 01:32:33.890
Show up anytime after 7.30. Anytime after 7.30. I get
2283
01:32:33.949 --> 01:32:37.590
there around 5. We ask volunteers to be there at 6.
2284
01:32:37.590 --> 01:32:39.449
It's a lot to set this nonsense up. You can
2285
01:32:40.590 --> 01:32:42.600
go to milfordturkeytrot.com. That's what I was going to say.
2286
01:32:42.609 --> 01:32:47.239
What's the website? milfordturkeytrot.com. And there's a volunteer sign-up. There's
2287
01:32:47.279 --> 01:32:49.899
a sponsorship sign-up. There's all kinds of fun stuff. But
2288
01:32:49.939 --> 01:32:52.220
more than anything, register. And I just want to let
2289
01:32:52.260 --> 01:32:54.619
everyone know that I pay every year.
2290
01:32:54.779 --> 01:32:59.199
I don't get the benefit of hosting him to get free. Because, again,
2291
01:32:59.439 --> 01:33:03.420
we were just talking about, you know, he needs money.
2292
01:33:03.539 --> 01:33:06.100
And he doesn't need the money. He wants more money
2293
01:33:06.180 --> 01:33:08.859
to donate to the charities that he donates to. And
2294
01:33:08.899 --> 01:33:10.840
that's what it's all about, especially this time of year
2295
01:33:10.880 --> 01:33:13.539
when families are struggling. And, you know, we all know
2296
01:33:13.579 --> 01:33:17.460
how the economy is in this world. And it's funny.
2297
01:33:18.220 --> 01:33:22.710
I'll finish on this note, Tork. I have keeping Milford
2298
01:33:22.750 --> 01:33:25.329
warm on a lot. They're going to be coming on
2299
01:33:26.130 --> 01:33:27.890
when I get back from Germany. And one of the
2300
01:33:27.930 --> 01:33:32.409
amazing things we talk about is we talked about earlier,
2301
01:33:32.449 --> 01:33:35.239
we think we live in this bubble. And there are
2302
01:33:35.800 --> 01:33:39.739
many people struggling in Milford that can't pay their electricity bills,
2303
01:33:39.779 --> 01:33:42.100
that can't pay their gas bills, that keep their houses warm.
2304
01:33:42.140 --> 01:33:42.800
Can't afford food.
2305
01:33:42.899 --> 01:33:43.800
And can't afford food.
2306
01:33:44.100 --> 01:33:46.779
And you're one of them, and these are some of the,
2307
01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:51.189
you know, I hate using the word charity, but these
2308
01:33:51.250 --> 01:33:57.189
are some of these corporations or organizations that come together
2309
01:33:57.630 --> 01:34:00.289
and bring Milford people in to donate some of the money.
2310
01:34:00.329 --> 01:34:03.800
Because we are pretty much, you know, I wouldn't call
2311
01:34:03.819 --> 01:34:05.659
us a wealthy town, but there's a lot of wealthy
2312
01:34:05.699 --> 01:34:08.560
people in this town who have the means to donate.
2313
01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:14.239
And I am not one of them. But I donate anyway,
2314
01:34:14.539 --> 01:34:18.439
is my point. I still donate because a couple bucks
2315
01:34:18.479 --> 01:34:22.279
here and there adds up in the end. You don't
2316
01:34:22.300 --> 01:34:23.720
always see the fruits of your labor.
2317
01:34:23.739 --> 01:34:25.960
You're not going to know who got the money. But
2318
01:34:25.979 --> 01:34:26.680
I will tell you this.
2319
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:29.800
I know whatever Tor is doing and these other organizations
2320
01:34:29.819 --> 01:34:31.979
that I have on this show, they do it right,
2321
01:34:32.119 --> 01:34:34.260
and the money gets where it needs to go, and
2322
01:34:34.340 --> 01:34:36.729
you can sleep well at night knowing that your money
2323
01:34:36.779 --> 01:34:37.470
was served well.
2324
01:34:37.859 --> 01:34:44.020
In five years, $ 159, 000 has been distributed to three– organizations
2325
01:34:44.100 --> 01:34:45.529
here in milford helping.
2326
01:34:45.289 --> 01:34:50.329
Milford residents that's amazing with food insecurity childhood cancer and
2327
