When your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice
mix in some vodka.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Colored a podcast from the Mac of All Trade Studio
in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots jeep Ram.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast. Well, hello and welcome.
Thank you for getting your pot on, Thanks.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
For telling a friend, and that's how we spread the
word about the pirate ship. Danny, it's a big day today.
It is exciting day, yes for.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Everyone who needs topicality in sports radio today. Why why
do you got to pick up?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Why?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Because I used to be one of those people schedules tropic.
Thank god we got things to talk about today. Why
do you like it all? But you, being honest, beat
those people up. It sounds like, yeah, good for them
if they enjoy that. I mean, it's cool that the
schedule comes out, but it it never comes out at once.
It comes out in drips and drabs, and everybody's like, ooh,
breaking news, breaking news. So we pretty much have the

(01:13):
entire puzzle figured out until.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Does no place confirm the schedule until the schedule.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Is confirmed eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, so, I mean no, certainly there's been leaks and
things like that. But there's nothing that is saying this
is exactly what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, nothing, nothing, nobody official. It's all through reports. See
what you'll have is like the NFL will release its
certain games right like earlier in the week, they released
the Thursday Night Kickoff, which will be Matt Reese's Cowboys
going up against the world champion Philadelphi Eagles on Thursday
Night Football to start the season. Then the next night,

(01:53):
the Chargers are going to quote host the Kansas City
Chiefs in Brazil.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Whoa yeah again.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, So they announced that right off the hop. Then
there were rumors and this is why people get silly.
There were rumors that Josh Allen's gonna be in the
Today Show today. That was Monday. No, no, Josh Allen's
gonna be on Tuesday. Oh no, no, no, we got
confirmation he's gonna be out Wednesday. And then that Brown
reported yesterday, No, he's not gonna be on this week.

(02:22):
Maybe sometime soon, but not anytime this week.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
They're gonna get him on the Today Show.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
They're not gonna get them on the Today Show.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Maybe they will.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's all just it's just the telephone game. So but
the schedule's gonna go. By the time people listen to
this podcast, the schedule will be out. And from the
reports that are consistently coming out over and over again,
it appears to Bills have another pretty favorable schedule. Okay,
so they have the second least number of miles traveled
this year, which we already knew going into the schedule,

(02:51):
whether like you know, no matter what the days are.
Apparently they have their first several weeks there the teams
that they're playing are like maybe like have a win
percentage combined of like three thirty three to three forty.
Oh really, which is a joke, so they could start
out hot. Their first bye week are their only bye
week is in week seven, which is a little early.

(03:13):
I think they have a stretch of about seven road
games in eleven weeks. But they start a lot on
the at home, they finish a lot at home, and
and I'm just generalizing. I have an idea of what
the schedule looks like, but I don't want to if
anything changes to be wrong. But I mean, it's a
pretty favorable schedule. They have no excuses not to win
the super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
The shay why I have period Sunday September twenty ninth. No,
this had to be.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
So the kickoff is going to be last year. They're
going to play the Ravens at home on Sunday Night
Football this Jet de season. That is a that's been
officially announced. Okay, as by Boom, that was announced by
I think NBC announced that today. So that's that's the
Sunday night game. Week two. Now here's what we're going
in unofficial territory. Week two Jets one o'clock at home.

(04:02):
Oh sorry, at New York, excuse me, at New York
one o'clock. Week three at home, Thursday Night Football. They
host Miami. Last year in Week two they went to Miami.
This year they'll host Miami. Hopefully the last time they
last time they hosted Miami on a Thursday night, somebody
died at the stadium. They fell into they got kicked
out in the stadium creek, right, So hopefully that won't

(04:22):
happen this year. Week four, they host the Tyler Shuck
perhaps and the New Orleans Saints at one o'clock. Week five,
Sunday Night Football, Mike Vrabel and the Patriots come to town.
Week six, the Bills get an extra day to prep
for the Atlanta Falcons on the road for Monday Night football.
Then they get two weeks off. Then they go to
Carolina for a Sunday night or a Sunday sorry, a

(04:45):
Sunday afternoon at one o'clock. Then they host Kansas City
on November second at four to twenty five. That could change,
but I doubt that CBS will allow that game to change.
At the National Game, Week ten, they go to Miami
for a one o'clock. Week eleven, Tampa Bay at one o'clock.
Then they have a quick turnaround Week twelve, the week
before Thanksgiving, they're at Houston on Thursday Night football. So

(05:07):
that's their only game out of the Eastern time zone.
Isn't that Austin? Then they go to Pittsburgh for a
four to twenty five or come back home to host Cincinnati.
I thought that would be the opener, it's not. They
host Cincinnati at four to twenty five on December seventh.
December fourteenth, they go to New England for one o'clock.
December twenty first, they go to Cleveland for one o'clock.

(05:28):
December twenty eighth, they host the champion the Champions Eagles
at four to twenty five, and then January fourth, week eighteen,
at a time to be determined, they host the Jets
in the final regular season game at whatever you want
to call it stadium January fourth, January fourth.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, okay, I wasn't listening to hardly anything you said.
The point is, Bill, But well, here's the thing that
I had. All thirty two teams come out at eight
o'clock right or around there, and they do some kind
of pomping circumstance. But we know that they have the Ravens,
the Bangal and the Chiefs at home, and it's.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Now spread out pretty well.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
They are Okay, that was my question. Yes, So the
Bengals or the Ravens are.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Up first, yep, Sunday night, first game of the season,
first game of the season kind and it makes sense
because there's a playoff game.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Kind of the rematch, right, yeah, and then we've got
what would be the next big game in your opinion.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Sunday night or against the Patriots at home in a
week five October fifth. The reason is because I think
Vrabel's going to turn that team around quickly.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I think that Drake May is going to be you know,
take that that sophomore leap as a quarterback. Yeah, I
think Kevin's already probably asking Greg for tickets to that one.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, I we have like a group chat and people
are going they either want to go to the Saints
or the Patriots game. Okay, I don't know, all right,
I would rather, I'd rather.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
I think people are like, I'm ready to here's here's why,
here's why so terrible. I get it A yah no,
because here's what happens. Right, everybody in Buffalo. We want
primetime games. Oh, I don't want to have to go
to bed at three o'clock in the morning. Primetime games.
Are we expecting one, two, three, four, five? At the

(07:13):
very least five? There could be more if they flex,
all right?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Are there teams that have more primetime games than five?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I'm sure there are. Yeah, I'm sure the Dallas does.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
So.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
The Bills aren't sure that the Chiefs do. Chiefs are
playing Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Did you see that?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
And they got that Friday game in Brazil.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
So we've got one of the Bengals in Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
The Bengals are in Buffalo. According to this December seventh
week fourteen, that's a four to twenty five game.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay, the weather could be a factor.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, I think that's why people go, like, want to
go to the New Orleans game for your earlier point
because of Baltimore games at night, the Miami games on
a Thursday night. New Orleans is one o'clock Sunday, and
then the New England games a Sunday night or and
then how about the Chiefs the Chiefs games November. Yeah,
so really the New Orleans game is the only real

(08:05):
first they were the only real one o'clock Sunday game
at home until Week six, Week eleven where they played
Tampa Bay at home and the Jets, so they only
have like two one o'clock games at home on the
schedule at this point.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Tell me how in your gut? And it's always early
and everybody's going to be doing this, so it's kind
of hack. I suppose the wins and laws probably what
do you think?

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Are they thirteen and in? There's no reason why they
can't go. They's seventeen to o this year. Now, that's ridiculous.
That's ridiculous. Yeah, they're not going to go seventeen. No,
but there's no reason why they can't. Okay, now things
are going to happen. But realistically speaking, I mean a
lot of things that they should be favored in just
about every game they play this year without exception, because

(08:50):
the Philadelphia game at the end of the towards the
end of the season, the Cincinnati game toward the you know,
in December, the Kansas City game at home in November,
and the Baltimore game at home the start of the
season are all at home. Your toughest opponents are all
at home. There's no reason why they shouldn't be favored
to win every single game this year unless something happens
to beloved number seventeen. It's the only reason why they

(09:10):
shouldn't be favored in every single game this year. So
does that not say speak seventeen and oh I'm not
saying they'll go seventeen night. I know it's ridiculous, I
hear you. But if it was a year first, if
there was ever a chance in Buffalo Bill's history, you
heard it here first. That's right, zipshit Dandy. What would
be like a funny radio name for the antagonist?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, the antagonist random Dan, Random Dan with his picks
locking it in, locking it in. It's seventeen and oh,
that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Okay, if there was a season in Bill's history where
they had chance to go seventeen and oh, this one
might be the closest, probably since two thousand, since twenty
twenty two.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, that's a u.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
But here's the thing. I remember last year was like, oh,
ten and seven. I think they're gonna have a tough year.
I said they'd have a tougher year, but I thought
they go like, you know, twelve and five, eleven and six. Man,
they defied supposedly the odds last year. So what do
we know really besides nothing?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Nothing right? Right, it's kind of fun, right.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
So tomorrow there's gonna be a bunch of jocks going
out there. Okay, so here's the schedule. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Well, what now I have to ask you, though, in
all seriousness, I mean, here, you are a Christian man.
We're going to talk to Father Hubert about the pope.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Let's got nothing to do with my brain. They's all
the same.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
God, it is, yes, okay, they believe in the believe
of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
This is not God, the Son God. I know.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
I'm going to say that you seem to not be
able to turn the other cheek when it comes to
that stuff. Now, I believe, I believe, hang on, I
believe turning the other cheek does not mean forgive. I
believe it does not mean forgive. I believe turn the
other cheek means think about something else.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Body, let them slap the other cheek. If he's gonna
slap one, give them the other one too. That's the
idea of turn the other cheek. I always took it
more as turn the other cheek, which is like, yeah, whatever,
just walk away.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Walk away. But my thing was not just walk away,
and not just forgive, turn the other cheek, forgive that.
I always took it as think of some turn the
other turn yourself away from that towards something more positive, happier,
turn the other cheek. Let's go in the positive direction.
You talk about these sports antagonists as you go, or
sports antagonists Dan Tagets, Yes, I know. But all these

(11:39):
things and you get yourself riled up, and you get mad,
and there is venom, there is ugliness, there is hatred
in there for you. I mean, I understand it, I
get it, I know what I know.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
It's Oh, it's few. If you were a program director
for a sports yes, yes, do you want to hear
about the rush more of of baseball players. Do you
want to hear the hack topics or do you want
to hear real discussion.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I don't know. I would rather I'd rather have it.
I don't I wouldn't be good at that, So I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Because the biggest joke in sport, the two biggest three,
the three biggest jokes, actually there used to be five.
Now one of them got eliminated with nil one of
the inflated emergency topics. The inflated topics was should they
pay college athletes? Yeah, okay, well that's over with now
now they're paying them. So the other one was should
Pete Rose get in the Hall of Fame? Guess what?
That got smashed too recently? Okay, because yesterday Rob Madford said,

(12:34):
eddie player who's received a lifetime management is now eligible
for the Hall of Fame. You didn't see that. So
now show and Pete Rose might get into the Hall
of Fame.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Rose deserves to be there, but he gets in posthumously.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Right, That's well, that's that was the whole idea, That
was the whole point. It was that was with his wife, Pete,
you're not allowed in the hall. That was good. That
was good. Okay, so now that topic is gone. But
there's another topic. Uh, and that topic is who's the
Mount rushmore of? And then name the subject? Yeah, I know, right, yeah,

(13:05):
I understand. And the other one is every time a
schedule comes out, Yeah, people pick the schedule. Well, it's fun.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
It's fun. We like to guess it's sort of a
gamble in a sense, and it's a little bit of fun, you.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Know what I mean. I think ESPN one year pick
the schedule and like the thing is, like every team
when you total up all the games, it has to
be like I think two thirty two and two thirty
two or two sixty two to two sixty two, and
the wins and losses were not even, Yeah, which means
they totally like goofed.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
But it's an interesting thing. And then the fact that
people do that, I think that it shows you that
they're looking for escape from the of course proper parts
of life. Yeah, sports is fun.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Sports is the toy store.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
It we can, we can yell about it, get animated,
we can we get it.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Worked irrationally angry. At the end of the day, it
doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what happens.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
It's all okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Look like if the Bills lose, it doesn't change my life. No,
I get mad in that moll. But yes, it's like
getting mad at the end of a sitcom. It ends.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
I mean, the winning I guess we could say changes
your life in that it's more fun for everybody. And
there is that whole vibe parade.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
We get to buy two shirts.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
All right, we'll take a moment back. On May eighth,
there was white smoke that came emanating from Rome and
the Sistine Chapel announcing that.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Wasn't the barbecue pits.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
No. Cardinal Robert Prevost, originally from Chicago but a longtime
missionary in Peru, has become the two hundred and sixty
seventh Pope. Now there's sometimes I feel like the fact
that this is the not the first pope from the
americause that.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Was the last one, but the first American pope.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yes, I feel like there's some Sometimes there's a shadow,
a political shadow that seems to get cast which shouldn't
be there. But we will talk to Father Hubert, who
had our friend Kevin as a student stiff in the
at aquinas Kevin is not here this evening. He is
a first night of his golf league. Cool, but father

(15:08):
Hubert was kind enough to give us his time and
we will get to that right after this. Looking for

(17:14):
song sound so familiar to me? But I so wishy
spoken about the language? I think it's so great for
your brain.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
My wife is learning Spanish right now.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, my son is U does a lot of DUELINGO,
that's what she's doing. Yeah. And uh, it's like an app, right.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
It's an app and they give you a phrase and
he's even doing.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Gaelic, which is pretty much a lost language, but they
did have it at his brother's school. They did have well,
feel like offered.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
When Israel became a nation nineteen forty eight, they resurrected
Hebrew as a language that was a lost length. There
we go, I was playing the song. It was never
even on.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Hang on, let me see if I can get the
song back just a second. There. I'm sorry, Father Hebre
was st there. I brought it all back. But let's
say it wasn't on the camera. Just do it now,
just for Father Hubert so he can hear it.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
All the way back to number.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
I don't know song.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Now, I remember being living in parks of the Utah.
I was twenty one years old. I was living there
for the summer and there were two French girls and
I used to do my pepe le pew impression and
they liked it. One of them didn't. I got to
go out of the day with her, so I guess
it worked. But I wouldn't do that today. I think
that was very childish, but it was. Ah, well, look

(18:41):
who you're talking to. Father Hubert has been kind enough
to join us again with the Pope. Hello, father, Hubert,
How are you this evening, sir?

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Pretty good? How are you today?

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Or I'm doing all right? This is kind of an
interesting time. I think you heard us as we went
to break talking about the new pope Robert prevost am
I saying that right, and then took on Pope Leo
chose his name to be Leo the fourteenth right. But

(19:15):
the two hundred and sixty seventh pope? Did they not count?
I'll ask you this, did they not count properly? Because
I thought they had popes as far back as the
thirteenth century, which would seem.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Like, oh, it goes all the way back to the
first century.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, So that's when I'm thinking that that it seems
like a miscount here we dropped a few.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
I think that's about right.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
Yeah, okay, I think it gets a little mixed up
maybe in some of the Middle Ages or where you know,
in historically you had one pope on Navigno.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
And another one in Rome, and it.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Was about he was in charge, and then the third
one was elected, and.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
Little things like that pope that goes way way back.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Was their name Charles. The church like, we don't know
who pop.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
No, I know, it just no. Uh, there's been a
lot made of the birth place of Pope Leo, and
I do wonder in the in a global church, the perception,
and it seems to have cast somewhat of a shadow,
and it certainly I don't know. I would love to

(20:26):
be fun to hear what the pope's thoughts of. But
his brother has been, uh, you know, in front of
cameras and in front of things and talking and stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
But is that make it.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
A little bit harder because for a global church to
have the American political shadow over it, it shouldn't be there.
It just shouldn't be or or or I would say
it's almost ignorant to say that it should be would
be there.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
I think it's interesting, and I think he's been well received.
I think it was a surprise, especially to us, you know,
and you mentioned his brother. They've been interviewing both his brothers,
one in Chicago and one in Florida, and it's just
interesting to see his brothers standing on his front lawn
in Chicago, in this middle class, suburban neighborhood talking about

(21:13):
his brother being pope. Because for us as Americans, the
pope has always been somewhere else who spoke a different language.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
And now it's very interesting.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
We've got an American, but a very special, different American.
And I think it actually helps the world to recognize
that not all Americans are the same, and that many
Americans have dedicated their lives to helping people outside of
our own country as well as inside of our own country.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
He's unique in so many different ways.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
He spent a majority of his life outside of the country,
and he speaks several different languages. Now, if Kevin, we're here,
I go back, Well, I might as well go back
to the joke we used to tell in class of
what do you call someone who speaks three languages?

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Triwingle?

Speaker 2 (21:59):
What do you call someone who speaks two languages bilingual?

Speaker 5 (22:02):
What do you call someone who only speaks one language?

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Americ?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
And he's proving that certainly isn't true. Uh, he speaks
several different languages. You heard him speak Italian and Spanish
when he came out onto the balcony. I think he
didn't speak English strategically on purpose, because he didn't want
to give the impression that now that an American is
in charge, it's English only. And he speaks a Quetchua,

(22:30):
which is an indignous indigenous language of Peru, a whole
lot of that, and that's not something that you would
study in the classroom and repeat after the cassette tapes
and fill out your workbook. That that he must have
spent a lot of time intimately with the people, because
I don't think that's a real written language.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
There descendants of the Incas, absolutely, and they kept their
own language, but it wasn't a written language. In fact,
most I call him First Americans because we're all Native Americans.
Most First Americans did not have a written language. Now,
the Seneca Nation they had one, but most Native Americans
did not.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Yeah, or they put it to writing later on.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Right, yeah, yeah, but it wasn't something that was part
of their life at the time.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
I did see where one of the pope's brothers said, yeah,
I can't believe the guy who I used to push
down the stairs. That just made me laugh because it
was almost a very real moment, right, I mean, speaking
of you know, siblings and things.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, there's there's a guy now who like was reflippant
houses and then he found out that the pope actually
lived in the house that he's flipping. So now he's
trying to go get called the stuff back that he
that he got it from the house to put back
into the house because the price just got jacked up.
Well in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Yeah, I'm sure the Pope wouldn't, you know, be in
favor of the jacking up of the price.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
But is this.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Dangerous to the framework for understanding the papacy, the the
idea that American politics overshadow it in any way. And
maybe they don't. I mean, I feel like people hope
they don't.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
Yeah, yeah, I hope they don't. Be well.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
And unlike our presidents who last four years, eight years
at the most, he's there for life. He's going to
outlive this president and probably the next president and perhaps
the president after that. And our politics go back and forth,
as do most countries. You know, we reset ourselves on

(24:30):
a regular basis. But you know, it's great though. His
American history, just as American history, never mind his history
outside the country, I think is incredible.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
They discovered he's got Creole grandparents.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
His grandfather's name, Joseph Martinez, was either born in Haiti
or the Dominican Republic, which are on the same island,
so they're not quite sure. And his grandmother born in
Louisiana who had French ancestors. In a sense, it's a
very typical Southern American family, at least on his mom's side,
one of mixed heritages, like so many of our sisters

(25:04):
and brothers in Louisiana. And so he's got, you know,
a very interesting tapestry within his own family, within his
own heritage. Never mind what he himself was able to
do as an Augustinian, a religious it's also rare for
a religious someone who's a member of a religious community
to be named. Quote it's usually someone who's been in

(25:27):
charge of a diocese. Well, he was, he was a
bishop of a diocese. But he he was the superior
general of the Augustinians. And for those of us I'm
a religious as well, it's you don't look, you never
expect to become a bishop or whatnot, because our you know,
we focus on particular ministries in particular areas.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yes, I understand, like the different areas that you would
go on. Hey, he's been called well, I'll hold the
compromise stuff, because there has been talking of him being
the compromise. But let me go back to kind of
being a homer meaning America nationalists and.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
A white Sox fan. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
But by the way, a white Sox fan. A lot
of people from Chicago will go with the old school Cubs.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, that is the south Side socks. North Side Cubs
go further north. It's brewers and packers, and those people
aren't too happy, I'm hearing. But we'll neither neither here
nor there.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
But do you think the election of an American born
pope will shift how American Catholics relate to the Vatican
in some way? Well, almost meaning more. I mean I
wonder if.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
It does, it may be then remains to be seen.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, you know, I'm not sure to what extent it should.
I mean, it doesn't really matter the nationality of the
Bishop of Rome and the Holy Father, because it's the
it's the same Jesus Christ we're following, and he's savior
of all of humanity all over the world, not just
you know, particular nations or particular cultures.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Amen. Yeah, I I was going to ask you too,
because we do see Pope Leo the fourteenth being called
a compromise candidate, and boy, it seemed like it if
it was a compromise candidate, I I don't know why,
but I thought it would take longer to elect the
pope than it did.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Well.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
But you know, as we said the last time, we
don't know really what goes on side, and you know,
there's all kinds of it's fun actually too, it was.
It was interesting watching one from the time the white
smoke came out until the time it came out on
the balcony I think was maybe.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
Forty five or fifty minutes.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yeah, and all the people on the networks had to
fill that time in with their commentary, and I don't
think they really knew what to say, so they're filling
they're filling the time in trying to guess what might
have happened, who might have said what, who might have
been an influence over home, But it's all guessing.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, I think they had.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
I mean, you know, more as a joke, but I
think there there were odds on who would be the
next pope and I and I'm sure that even those
with a little more knowledge had but I don't know
if anybody saw, you know.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Ironically, let me tell you, I got a text from
my nephew Sean, who lives in Chicago, the day before
the election, and he said, Uncle John, do you think
it's going to be Robert Prevost?

Speaker 5 (28:27):
And I answered him, I said, I had to look him.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Up first, because I don't think most Americans knew who
he was, because he's not been a bishop of any
any city in the United States. He's been outside the country.
I had to look him up, and once I saw
he was American, I texted my nephew back and said, no,
I don't think so he's an American, and lo and behold.
The next day I text him back and said, Sean.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
You were right.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
How did he know?

Speaker 5 (28:53):
The first I heard that predicted this was my nephew.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
So yeah, he kind of just wishful thinking, hopeful, right,
What was probably was because he lived in Chicago and
if you had visited Peru, and so we had hopes
on this guy.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
And if he's wrong, who's going to remember?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Right? Right?

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Exactly right?

Speaker 3 (29:13):
That's interesting. Wow, But he's being called the compromise candidate.
I don't know if that's true or not, But do
you see that as a strength in a divided church,
if there is a divisional.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
You know, it's interesting that he chose the name.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Leo, and they've made a lot about Leo the thirteenth,
which is true writing the encyclical Realum navarum, which stuck
up were really stuck up for the rights of workers
working in factories. And that was in a history of
our country where you had all of these immigrants, mostly
Catholic from Europe coming over, and then we had the

(29:49):
industry of revolution, and you have people working in factories,
including children, six or seven days a week, eighteen hours
a day, and being very poorly treated. And he him
out Leo the thirteenth saying that you have a right
to form unions, people have a right to be treated
with dignity, people have a right to have decent working hours.

(30:09):
Children should not be working in factories, and all those things.
So I think he had this great and cyclical of
Realm navarum in mind, but I think he also had
Leo the First in mind. Leo, they went back centuries
before that. He brought peace with Attila the Hun when
the Huns were about to attack what's now Italy, and

(30:32):
he made peace with him, and they called him the
bridge Builder, and for the very first time used the
Latin word pontifix, called them the Pontifix maximus, where we
get the word pontiff from when referring to the pope,
pont means bridge. He's a bridge builder, building bridges and

(30:53):
in quente in Spanish. And so he mentioned Leo the
fourteenth a number of times the last week when he
came out onto the balcony, that we are called to
build bridges.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
And so when you talk about compromise.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I think in the sense of he sees some of
the divisions that exist, whether it be in culture within
the church, within countries, within nations on our planet, within
people within people within peoples with disagreements, and we've got
to sit down and we've got to talk to one another,
and we have to work out these issues in that sense,

(31:28):
and he's already offered, I understand, to to to help
be a person who settles disputes in the various wars
that are going on in the world right now, especially
in Ukraine and in Gaza.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
So let me let me ask you. Does a pope
have to take a name of a prior pope? Can
they just go in as their own name or call himself.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
A Francis picked Francis was Francis the first No pope
had ever been named Francis beforehand.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Oh Wow, I didn't know.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
Okay, Yeah, he can choose any name he'd.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Like, any name like. But but a lot of times
it's based on history. I think that's very interesting. Yeah,
and not knowing the history of the pope, So that
Leo and the and the bridge builder, and certainly that
would be as we say, the compromise candidate, like, Okay,
you will vote for him. We vote for him.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
I guess we need bridges built.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, we certainly do.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
And I'll ask you kind of as we close it out,
spiritually speaking, in your opinion, what should Catholics be praying
for right now as Pope Leo the fourteenth begins his papacy.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
We of course want him to be inspired and guided
by the Holy Spirit, that God's will be done, Not
any human beings will be done, but God's will be done.
God who created all people, Jesus Christ, who redeems all people.
But that that that we have an open heart to

(32:53):
be open to enabling him to build these bridges. Yeah,
so that we're not son and staying within our camps
and refusing to see the other side, whatever the other
side might be, of whatever dispute we're in. You know,
there's tensions between traditionalists and progressives and people in between,
and political divisions as well. And it seems more and more,

(33:16):
especially in our own country, that people are they want
to be more faithful to whatever political party they belong to,
then to what their faith tells them.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
And they'll take the areas of faith that they think
support their political position, but then set aside those that
don't seem to support the political position.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
But as a Christian, your faith should be on top
and not number two.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Interesting, I remember being in Denver just before the Pope
came down John nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Buffalo was in the running to get them, and they
feel second to Denver.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Yeah, it was Denver.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
And then of course I was at Aquinas at the time.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yeah, okay, so and that was it was a big deal.
But I'm just thinking if Pope Leo the fourteenth came
to the United States, I think that would be enormous.
I really do will yeah, And I think even coming
to a city like Chicago where we hear some really

(34:20):
tough things sometimes about the things that I could see
him almost unifying groups of people together just in the
just in his mere presence of that. Because I do
think a lot of times as you're saying. You know,
we get so enriched in our camp, whether it be political,
and mostly it is is because of things like social media,

(34:41):
where we can find.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
That it certainly is enabled people to become more argumentative
rather than more in unity.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, I mean it emboldens people because now I found
people who agree with me, so therefore I must be right.
And I think often we forget. I say it all
the time on here, opinion is halfway between fact and fiction.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
He posted some stuff on Twitter about like unity and stuff,
and I agree with what he said.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yep. Yeah, it's an interesting time. I guess. I don't
know how your nephew. That's amazing that he kind of
pulled out prevos.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
But would he ever admit to to his uncle a priest? Hey,
I put money on it. Who's gonna tell? Who's he
gonna tell? I don't think he did think draftkicks had
the odds though.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
No.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Uh, father human, Before we let you go, I just
are you a sports fan of any kind? You know?

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Having been a principal of two high schools, boys high
schools where sports were so incredibly important, I spent most
of my energy supporting their teams. I show up to
all of their games and then try not to support
one sport over the other. When I was principal, I'm
in Houston today. When I was principal as Saint Thomas
here in Houston, I ended up hiring Craig Bidgio as

(36:05):
our coach.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Oh wow, okay of St.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Thomas High School because he was just leaving the Astros
and his sons were coming into our school. And my
brother I have five brothers all around Rochester. And they
all laughed at me because I was interviewed on the
sports station that day and they said, of all of
us being interviewed on sports talk, you think it was
going to be John ha ha.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
So I mean I thought I'll watch the Super Bowl,
but not mini games.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
I got you because today is a World Series.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
But you know, today's a big day for those who
are NFL fans. The schedule for next season comes out
that it's almost like we have our priorities maybe a
little mixed up. Maybe we shouldn't put sports as high
as we do in our society or people will.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Pay attention to this in the NBA playoff games tonight.
That's how nuts the NFL is.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
Well, having been the principal of all boys schools.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I recognize the importance of sports and how they can
really be an integral part of the formation of the
human person. But troubles me, though, is and I see
this at the high school level, at the college level,
and then that people identify with the particular team and
then demonize the people who support another team.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
And I think we go too far there.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
We do, We absolutely do, Father Hubert, I really appreciate
you coming on. I'm sorry that Kevin was found golf
more important tonight, but.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
Oh it's all good.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
It's good for him, and thank you for your insight.
And boy again, just I don't know your neph Maybe
your nephew has a divine, an open line, a hotline.
I don't know what it is to the divine.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
I think we all do. We just don't realize it
all the time, that's true.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Did the new pope have an inkling he was going
to be the next Polper? What did it come as
a surprise? Would you have any idea if that were
the case, or any whispers out of the Vatican.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
I haven't chatted with him about it, all right.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
I suppose every single cardinal was in there with this
little idea.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
Of you know, how will I.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
React just in case that happens, because who knows?

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I got my name picked out?

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Well, thank you, Father Hubert, and I hope you have
an enjoyable rest of your evening.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
Thank you you too great to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Thank you nice talking to you too. All right, there
he goes Father Huber's. I just think it's just historically interesting,
and especially coming from an Irish Catholic family where it
was for my grandfather a very very big deal. You
know the Pope, I think well, I thought there were
more than one visit, and Father Hubert would have known.

(38:38):
I should ask that Pope John Paul made to the
United States, because I think I have, and maybe I'm wrong.
I thought there was a pope. Maybe my grandfather being
blessed by Pope. He was in New York City fireman,
so but I don't know if that was a Pope
John Paul.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
I know that John Paul came to the United States
at least three times, once to Denver, once in Detroit,
and once in Saint Louis. Because Mark McGuire got to
kiss the Pope's ring because he broke Roger Morris's record.
Could you believe that what odd that he was got
to kiss the Pope's ring. And then and then here's
another story. A guy used to work for Jeff Hollett

(39:16):
over w a Cham he ended up this is this
is a true story. He was in the Pontiac's silver
Dome drinking strows during the Pope's mass. Then they call
for communion and he gets to go down and take
communion from Pope John Paul after he had several strows
sitting in a box in the potty a silver do
really seriously?

Speaker 3 (39:36):
All right? We will, uh, we will take a moment.
I think I'm gonna go to this one. A guy
has set a record. This guy has been he's a
pioneer in this. I wouldn't call him sport, but he's
a pioneer. And uh oh yeah, no, he's a pioneer.

On the mine, baby, that's rights.

Speaker 8 (42:40):
Wapping shots makes one out the other.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
I die.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
Well.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
The name of the song is the Devil and Signe,
and the reason I play that is the Pope's brother.

Speaker 9 (42:59):
Not only did he talk about kicking the pope down
the stairs as a child, like the same guy through
down the stairs now the Pope, he also called in
some tweet or x I don't even know what you
call it down okay, that he called Nancy Pelosi a
c a flaming sea I think like, and then on

(43:23):
a video screamed.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
It into the camera.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
And then he's asked about it and he doubles down,
and I go, you know, I don't know that there
should be a separation of church and state. It's hard
when you're living to you know, you have to vote,
you're voting for leaders. Do you agree with this? You know?

Speaker 1 (43:43):
But you try to separate the two.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
And you got Piers Morgan all over this guy, asking
him questions, holding fire to the guys like unraveled there
and I go, once got the devil inside that's all.
Speaking of devil inside. I saw this story and the
guy's got a great name, Spencer Blatnick. Spencer Blatnick. Spencer

(44:11):
Blatnick has set a record that I haven't heard about.
But I would say that he is a pioneer in
this and it's not a sport and I should not
be making light of it. But I will slightly a
little bit, a little bit only because everybody survived. Here's
a little more on Spencer Blatnick.

Speaker 10 (44:36):
This is bodycam video of Norwalk police stopping a vehicle
on WID's Avenue in Norwalk or on one am May second.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Okay, one o'clock in the morning, May second, Ohio, do
you re liten song?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
You're good, ma'am?

Speaker 8 (44:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (44:52):
But videos what maam? She's so? The man is the
police officer, The police officer is a very good day.
He's the drive.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
He's the driver, okay.

Speaker 10 (45:01):
Should the officer asked for a license and registration, which
the driver was unable to produce.

Speaker 8 (45:07):
How many drinks have you had tonight, ma'am? How many
drinks have you had tonight?

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (45:11):
How many drinks do you had tonight? Now to give
you a little background, because I don't know that it
gets mentioned this guy thought he was doing great. I'm sure,
No I'm not, because they got him doing fifteen and
a twenty five, then again in a thirty five. But

(45:32):
he sped up, he got to the speed limit and
then dropped that back down to fifteen. Well, look, he
knew there was a five in the number.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Well it's like that. It's like that scene in Black Sheep.
How fast do you think you were going? I'd say
sixty five times seven, seven miles out And usually when
I pull people over, they pull out of the shoulders.

Speaker 8 (45:50):
Yeah, I'm getting a pretty strong smell of alcohol coming.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
I think somebody.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Okay, do you hear that?

Speaker 1 (45:58):
I think somebody? What mi car?

Speaker 8 (46:00):
How many drinks have you had tonight? Becuse I'm getting
a pretty strong smell of alcohol coming.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
I think somebody.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
I think somebody spilled some beer in my car. I
ain't mean they came over the dumb.

Speaker 11 (46:15):
Dis She kind of noticed a vehicle driving that was
in front of her. That was a pretty slow rate
of speed is what initially caught her attention. Then when
I stopped at an intersection, pulled kind of way too
far in towards that intersection.

Speaker 10 (46:27):
According to Chief Scott Daldrin.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Now look we're in the middle, like the stop sides
behind him.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yes, he was waiting for it to turn green, and
he started to go, wait the stop side. Now we're
laughing at this. Recently had a conversation someone who said
they believe that anybody arrested for d w I in Ohio,
it's called oh v I operating vehicle intoxicated operating vehicle

(46:58):
while intoxicated. Uh AV, So were you.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
In tuxicit Avy.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
The person said they believe anybody who is arrested for
drunk driving should be charged with attempted murder.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
I disagree with that. I can. I think that's a
little extreme. It is, but that you shouldn't drink and drive.
But attempted murder means I intentionally attempted to murder somebody.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Well, we all know the laws, we know the worst
that could happen in here behind a vehicle. But anyway,
I continue with mister Blatnick.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Great name, Spencer Blatnick. I got I'm getting Blatnick tonight.

Speaker 10 (47:43):
Who police the van was registered to seventy five year
old Spencer Blatnick of Sandusky, who is driving on a
suspended license.

Speaker 8 (47:53):
That is showing that you are suspended.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Yes, ma'am.

Speaker 8 (47:56):
Okay you know that, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 10 (48:00):
Bodycam video showed black and tell the officer that's a thing.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Though you may not know that you're driving with suspended license.
That could be a lot of things that could a
lapsed insurance payment, like let's say you have a credit
card right, unpaid parking tickets that remember.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
I remember, did I get yelled at no?

Speaker 1 (48:18):
You didn't get yelled at no.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
I think I did.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Oh you know you you and brought these tickets to
the office and they threw like two of them out
through like bad handwriting, but the other sixteen you.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Had to like respond to.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
And then we go back to the We go back
to get the car unlocked, and the general manager of
the radio stations walks by. It's not a doing something
about Oh that's too bad. I'm gonna get back on
my phone now and go to the office and pretend
I'm talking to somebody signed up to talk to anybody.
And that's true. Soon that is true. I was there,

(48:49):
I saw it all right.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
Here we go.

Speaker 10 (48:52):
So he didn't think he had anything to drink that night.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
He didn't think anything.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Maybe he's got dementia. Oh well, well my grandmother hold on, yeah,
called her on Mother's Day. Yeah, so hey, her mom
came in, saw you today and the ants. Oh no,
they're too busy for me. My mother sends me a picture. No,
this is us three hours ago playing cards with your grandmother.
You could see she's on oxygen. I'm like, okay, so
your faculties aren't on there, she's ninety eight.

Speaker 8 (49:20):
Yeah, you're not looking at my finger.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah, no you're not.

Speaker 5 (49:26):
You gotta follow it with your eyes.

Speaker 11 (49:28):
She attempted to do some feel sobriety testing, however, he
ultimately did not cooperate with that.

Speaker 10 (49:36):
Blatnick was arrested for ov I and taken to the
police station. That's when officers learned this wasn't his first
ov I.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Okay, now, Danny, wouldn't that say something on the license
if it's been suspended? Maybe can they tell you that,
like your credit card if it's been declined, you know
when you run it. I don't know, Danny, Yes, let's
play the game. All we're gonna play, Blatnick. I mean,
it's the new game. We're raising coast and Ghast called Blatnick,

(50:05):
I guess we gotta get as close to his bac
without going on.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
You have to get as close to how many avi's
as Spencer Blatnik.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
By the way, that's a beer in Canada.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Oh, v oh v Yes it is, yes, ov splits, Yes, yeah,
you'll hear.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
You don't see it over here? No, you know, I
think it was it a mont Liquord.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Why do I think it was a Montluk?

Speaker 1 (50:27):
It may have been. I remember seeing because like I
grew up in Buffalo, we had the Canadian channels. Yeah,
so you'd see ov ads all the time, but you
never could, like you never see him in the stores.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
So what my friend, how many avi's has Spencer Blatnick
had in his life?

Speaker 1 (50:44):
In his life?

Speaker 3 (50:45):
In his life?

Speaker 1 (50:46):
I'm gonna say, we're playing Blatnik.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
We're playing Blacknick, all right. The dealers like plunko, Yeah,
the dealers clink go plaink go plunk.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
It might be better for the old run.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Yes, I want to say seven seven obvies. All right,
we will go back to the Spencer Blatnick story and
find out how good or bad Dan's guest is in
Spencer Blatnicks. Here we go, Oh, might have to start
again from the beginning yeah, it is all right. Hang on.

Speaker 10 (51:23):
This is body cam video of Norwalk police stopping a
vehicle on WID's Avenue in Norwalk or on one am
may second.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Do you have a license? Song?

Speaker 3 (51:32):
You're good, ma'am?

Speaker 10 (51:33):
Yeah, video showed the officer asked for a license and registration,
which the driver was unable to produce.

Speaker 8 (51:41):
How many drinks have you had tonight?

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Ma'am?

Speaker 8 (51:44):
How many drinks have you had tonight? So I'm getting
a pretty strong spell.

Speaker 11 (51:51):
She kind of noticed a vehicle driving that was in
front of her. That was a pretty slow rate of
speed is what initially caught her attention. Then when I
stopped at an intersection, pulled kind of way too far
in towards that intersection.

Speaker 10 (52:04):
According to Chief Scott Dldrine with Norwalk Police, the van
was registered to seventy five year old Spencer Blatnick of Sandusky,
who was driving on a suspended license. It is showing
that you are suspended, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Okay you know that, yes, ma'am.

Speaker 10 (52:22):
Bodycam video showed Blatnick tell the officer he didn't think
he had anything to drink that night.

Speaker 8 (52:28):
Okay, you're not looking at my finger?

Speaker 11 (52:31):
Yeah, no, you're not.

Speaker 8 (52:33):
You gotta follow it with your eyes.

Speaker 11 (52:35):
She attempted to do some feel sobriety testing, However, he
ultimately did not cooperate with that.

Speaker 10 (52:43):
Blatnick was arrested for ov I and taken to the
police station. That's when officers learned this wasn't his first
ov I.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Danny says seven ovis adates back decades.

Speaker 11 (52:54):
The first one was in nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
He was a pioneer.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
I didn't even know you could get arrested for OVI,
dw I, whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
In nineteen seventy one, nobody got arrested for that. That's
my grandfather always used to say. They don't give those
out through the Yeah, I mean, how many times were
you hey, I'll follow make sure you get home safe.

Speaker 11 (53:18):
So it starts in the seventies, there's a couple in
the seventies, there's multiple in the eighties, multiple in the nineties,
and then kind of in the two thousands and in
twenty tens it drifted off.

Speaker 10 (53:30):
Blatnick faces multiple charges, including his twentieth ov I, which
is now a selony due to his previous.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Three times.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
Bunny rights almost three sears in our public and you
know every time someone any times is hanging ov I
banners nineteen seventy four, nineteen seventy nine, nineteen eighty matter
of fact, that was a double Bantner season nineteen eighty again,
nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty two, again, nineteen eighty three,

(54:02):
nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty four, again, nineteen eighty eight,
nineteen eighty eight, again, and back to back nineteen eighty nine,
a few years off, comes back in the early nineties,
nineteen ninety three, back to back with nineteen ninety four,
nineteen ninety nine, two nine, twenty twelve. And when I
think the longest run without a DWI or OVII till

(54:25):
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Holy cow. He's like the Yankees of Obi.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
Yes, and we laugh at this, and we and we
shouldn't laugh at it, but it does raise like a
lot of questions, like what is going.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
On in Ohio? I mean that this guy's able to
get into a car.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
At this point, I said, a license suspension is more
like not a punishment suggestion.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Yes, it's a polite suggestion. We don't think you should drive,
mister Bladeck.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
I mean, come on, buddy, you know the fact that
he hasn't hurt someone is amazing.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
Yeah, for all those this guy must be the driver.
I mean, this guy might be the best driver.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Oh well, that's a good point in history. That could
be when your DWI needs a scroll right, see them all.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
To mention, not to mention, think of all the times
he didn't get caught.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
All, I would say, from nine, I mean from twenty
twelve to twenty twenty five at least, at least and the.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Guys I should be teaching a driver's ed class. You
should be like going to jail, right, I'm saying that facetiously, ladies, gentlemen,
for those who belong to SAD and mad, I understand.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
No, I do too, But it doesn't make you say
like should repeat DUI or OVII. Offenders almost have to
have a mental health check as a felony. I mean,
if you get over ten, we might go, what are
you running from?

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Over two? Yeah? Well over in Japan, you get one,
you're done, okay Japan, Yeah one and done. Now here's
the thing. It's very crowded over there, so they really
don't have time to screw around. But Ohio, yeah twenty.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
I mean, the guy's been competing in this Olympic Sports
since then an administration for God's sake, You.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Know what I mean. You can think about all the
different cars he's driven too, Okay, he's gotta he has
to be able to navigate one of those boats, like
those big Candile acts, one of those big Chevy cars.
He's got a they're huge Delta Oles ninety eight. Yeah,
this guy, this guy deserves. There's a Delta Olds eighty
eight ninety eight. This guy belongs to like the in
the Car and Driver Hall of Fame, because if you

(56:37):
could get twenty dwis not or ovis not kill anybody.
Imagine all the other times that he didn't get caught.
This guy, I mean, all the different cars that have
come out over generations. Yeah, I think he's probably driven
cars that no longer exist, like ultimobiles and you contacts.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
You have to think because most people don't drink alone.
I mean unless you're saying you're thorough good. Well, you
know what I mean, but most people don't. Yeah, what
nobody is So somewhere along the line there had to
be like a fender bender or something where he got
somebody to sit in the driver's seat.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
My father told me a story do you think about
my uncle and his cousin. My uncle back back in
the sixties. Apparently your picture wasn't on the license, but
they did keep records, but they weren't great records. So
my uncle Joe my cousin Sal were driving. Uncle Joe
got his like fifth speeding ticket of that year. He goes, hey,
give me your license. Yes, what, I'll pay the fine

(57:33):
because there are no points back then. But at the
same time you couldn't get so he wrote a ticket
for my cousin Sal sitting in the passenger seat. He
goes to the court acting as my cousin Sal pays
the fine, but it didn't affect.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
His license, you know, so it's not on there. But
I'm just wondering, like, even with this guy, was there
some woman who was taken home from the bar and
he just climb over to this sheet here, we'll get
out of this. And she's not as drunk or in
the seventies, could have cop be a little more persuaded.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
Yeah, maybe, mister Frank, You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Somewhere something there has to be a rich history here.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
This isn't just twenty The guy turned it into an
Olympic sport. Yes, I'm just saying, it's like that dude
in the Greece the Olympics like this past year, who
like you got all these shooters right with all these
like glasses and guns. This guy's walks in off the
street and wins the gold medal with no equipment whatsoever.
That's what this dude is. You know.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
It makes you think, like, are we too We talk
a lot about crimes, and we're too lenient on certain crimes,
right and certainly New York State there's been some problems
and discussions, but it does raise the question are we
too lenient on DUI's DWI O V I. And I'm
not sure because it's expensive, It's very expensive. I would

(58:54):
love to know how much this guy has invested in
the ov I defense get his license and defenders. You've
got to go to court, you've got fines, and I
have to think in nineteen seventy four, maybe it was
one hundred and fifty bucks. I don't know, seventy five dollars.
I know now it's thousands. And you have to and
I would assume Ohio is probably similar to most of

(59:15):
the rest of the United States anywhere it would be
you've got to go to a lot of times you
have to sit down with a victim impact panel where
you sit and hear the stories.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
And part of that is to reduce your plea.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Like sometimes if it's your first you won't get you'll
get a DWAI driving while ability impaired, which could be
at just below the level, but even though you might
have been just a footfall over, they'll give you that.
But you got to go and all those things, by
the way, they cost. In addition, you got to go
to alcohol valuations and all this suff I mean, it's
a lot of money, plus your lawyer and if you're

(59:52):
gonna get anybody worth their salt, you're talking six grand minimum.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Or you could just not care like this dude, Well
that's true.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Yeah, driving a supending license, yes, so what I mean,
it's just a sweet ome man. I mean, they've done.
I forgot what show was. Maybe it was inside addition
to one of those shows where they showed one of
those inside courtrooms where they show people driving with suspended licenses,
and they put a camera outside of the courtroom and
showed the people that were driving without suspending licenses driving
to and from court. Yeah, like they just don't care.

(01:00:20):
Who's gonna stop me? Well, if I get pulled over?
So what they've been only get in trouble so many times.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
But the other thing is what are you gonna do?
Sometimes it's like, I guess you would have to take
other transportation. I gotta tell you, it's a shitty thing.
And I would say it probably goes back to like
mindset and stuff, But it does seem like people who
have tough situations in life, whatever it is, right, they're

(01:00:48):
on the balls of their aster. They're the ones getting
busted for you know, they get the ticket for the
tail light that's out right right, and then they forget
to pay it or they just don't have the thirty
five dollars are the fifty I don't even know what
it is, And we're called fifty snowballs, and it's snowballs.
And so now you get another one, and now you've
gotten three, and you're supposed to get this fixed. And
if you get it fixed, sometimes they'll say to you,

(01:01:10):
if you get it fixed and come back, we won't
There is no penalty. But let's say it's something like that,
and then you forget or you're pissed off. You're like
you know, fuck these guys. All I'm trying to do
is work. I'm just trying to get there and back.
No one's going to get into an accident. Let me
to fuck alone. And then it does snowball, and now
you got a suspended license, and now you got to
get there, and you're not on a bus line, and
an uber is too, whatever the fuck and I go.

(01:01:32):
It's just it's like, we all know people like that,
we all know that story, and it does seem to
snowball in some way. I don't know. Maybe this guy
is uh, just happy it's.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Seventy five years old. He's probably like, yeah, well, if
he got away with it for this.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
If he's family of yours, you'd almost like to I
don't know, you don't want to take that on.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
You want to take the keys away from an old person.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
No, But what I'm saying is not necessarily that. But
he may be such an alcoholic that you just don't
even want to deal with this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Yeah, like a functioning Oh, he probably needs to have it.
He probably wakes up and the first thing he does
is shot a whiskey. Yeah, and a cigarette.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
It's all right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Cable's cigarette spencer Blatnick.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
I mean, he's the guy who said.

Speaker 8 (01:02:12):
How many drinks have you had tonight? Beau. I'm getting
a pretty strong smell of alcohol coming somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Someone's walking around, some bear of it aported Spencer's passenger
seat twenty twenty O V.

Speaker 9 (01:02:28):
Eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
I mean that is literally blackjack. Twenty one is blackjack, right,
blat Nick? Hit me, black Nick. It could be a
new game, but well, the number's gotta be twenty. We
got to figure out things to get to all right, Okay, Blatnick.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Now, every time I ask for someone to find a
person and I want to talk to Spencer Blatnick, there's
the there is a guy in Pittsford who I wanted
to talk to about the story out of.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):

here for whatever you need.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
I might call Fabian tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Fabian. OK, we got to get to the bottom of this, buddy.
Johnny Harris listen to this podcast now because I introduced
him to it, because PRO agree one hundred percent with
everything you just said, and he was talking about that
Fabian situation. I think too, because I think you got
to I think you're onto something.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
I think you are too, because why else would you
drive from Pittsford out to Pelmyra to damage a police
car two fifty five in the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
No, it was one.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
I think it was one. And he doubled back to
do it again.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Okay, I'm not done yet.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Yeah, he only did five hundred dollars worth of davage
the first time. Got the other extra thousand in there.
All right, we'll take a moment.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Actual retail price Danny and I fifteen hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
I think somebody.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
Who says I can't get stone.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
When you were growing up with stone a term that
you could also use for drinking, Yes, because my generation
stone met weed, primarily drunk and obliterated.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
When I was growing up, No, but when it was
like the prior generations, like my grandparents, I was aware
of what they Stone could mean drunk too.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Okay, you know, Schnucker, believe me.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
With that drinking family and I had ship. I mean
it was like they were like fucking cartoon characters like
my mom's parents, who I absolutely adored. I adored them,
but there it was like some of the funniest, funniest
stuff ever. I mean that whole story about my grandmother
where you know she was laying on the couch. My

(01:08:12):
brother and I go in and lay the roads on her.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
But she was drunk. She was drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
There's things that would come out of her mouth. I
could not manipulate. That's a terrible word, but I guess
maybe it's the right one. I could get her to
do and say things like all the time. I used
to think that she said she left the l out
and clock, and I I'd always ask her. I would

(01:08:36):
always ask her, like what time certain show came on
as you go? Or I'd say, what, hey, grandma's on just.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
About eat a cock? And I used to fucking roar.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
I was like twelve. I used to try.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
I would say to the kids. No, you always used
to say that, yeah, eight to cock, like okay.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
Aight o cock? Because my grandmother left the l out
and clock. My mother swears, you are so rock I go, what.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
I heard it? I heard it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
This is the same woman. Now I'm married and I
have children, and we're at my parents' house and they're
doing a story on the Saint Patrick's Date Parade. Big
deal in my family. My grandfather marched in it every year.
I had gone down to it as a kid. I
remember being sixteen being so excited. I ditched my parents
and I went into a bodega and I bought a
beer and I got to drink it. I think my

(01:09:19):
dad was almost secretly proud that I did it. But
so we're watching this news story about the Saint Patrick's
State Parade, and their news was they were allowing gays
to march in the parade for the first time, for
the first time. This had to be god early two thousands,
I'm thinking, which sounds odd, right, You think that they
would have had a little more accepting before that, but

(01:09:41):
they weren't. And my grandmother lets out one of these.

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
Like that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
So I go, even what they do? What there you go?
I can't even tell me that laughing a god, I go,
they put that filthy thing in their mouth? Oh, oh, belly.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
God.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
And then Danny. It's a good five to six minutes later.
So she and I sitting in the kitchen, a little
TV under the cabinet, just sitting there, and all of
a sudden they hear.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
Can't get the thought out of her head, Grandma, what's
the matter matter? They put that filthy thing in their mouth.
I freaking lose it. I am laughing so hard.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
My mother comes running from another room because she could
hear my grandmother gagging, and like she's like like bouncing
out of the chair. I could not stop laughing. That
was the kind of shit that I could get I
did it all the time with my grandmother. Oh gosh,
I loved her. Loved her for that, and I just
loved her as a person because she had a rough
exterior controlled by a lot of fear, uh you know, afraid,

(01:10:59):
and we could get very nasty as a result of that.
And I just, I don't know, I just loved her.
And I even said that at her when I spoke
at her memorial service, and because she died in Florida
and they were waiting for the ground to thought to
get everybody up to New York, I just said that
I knew she was tough. I know there were people

(01:11:20):
that she was tough on. And I think I even
called out my aunt Barbara. I said, I know she was.
She married my you know, my mom's brother, and I
knew it was not any agg was not easy, I said,
but whatever, it was deep inside she and I said,
I just absolutely loved an ador To and I laughed
at her a lot, but I always like spending time
with her. I liked when she and I could break

(01:11:40):
through and just have a real conversation. She talked to
you like an adult. I like that, that's a kid.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
Therapy cat Woods is a thirty five year old Canadian
digital nomad not really sure what that means, maybe as
a job bouncing around and an AI safety advocate, says
she found her best therapy yet, best therapist yet, Daniel
chat GPT.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
I knew this is where it's going.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
After trying over ten human therapists without satisfactory results, she
turned to AI for emotional support, claiming it off for smarter, faster,
and more personalized guidance than any human professional ever has.
She customizes her Chat bought therapists with detailed prompts that
reflect her values altruism, happiness, rationality, and gets advice tailored

(01:12:32):
to her emotional and intellectual needs. According to Woods, chat
GPT delivers better on demand solutions for issues like anxiety, relationships, conflict,
and motivation. She did say this would be I would
not recommend people using chat GPT as a therapist if
you're dealing with anything other than anxiety or depression. Oh
and when I say depression, like mild depression, She did

(01:12:56):
say that. She does say she acknowledged its limitations, no
follow ups, no facial expressions, but believes that outperforms traditional
therapy in many day to day cases. However, mental health
experts warn that AI lacks emotional nuance and relational depth,
with real risks if it replaces human connection entirely. I

(01:13:20):
don't know. In an on demand world, if you're looking
for I would have never thought, like you know, I'm
dealing with blah blah blah blah blah. How can I
feel better? I guess I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
I don't even know. What would you put we should
do it? What would you put in there? What would
I ask? CHP? Yeah? Like would you?

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
I mean, let's just say as one what we'll do
with experiment, just to see what it says back. Okay,
Because when you explore how AI is reshaping access to
mental health support, it is instant, it is twenty four
to seven, and it's free, and it's free and it
could help underserve populations.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
You know where they used to do.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
I would say, it's a band aid solution.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Yeah, you know what people used to do. What they
used to call radio shows like ours and ask for
advice and like the you coach Muley other people, We
give them the advice and they would they would often
take it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
Hang on a second, let me see, oh we are connected? Hey, Jordan,
I'm on the podcast. What I'm on the podcast? Oh okay,
i'll call you later. Or what's going on? We're on
the air.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
We're on the air.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Say anything, why because I can't say anything. You can't, no,
not if it's air. All right, okay, then i'll call
you back when I'm done.

Speaker 11 (01:14:35):
Let's just say I'm glad I made the right choice.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
Well, I don't know what that is, but I'm I'm
thinking I do. Yeah, okay, all right, I'll talk to
you later.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
All right, I'm glad Jordan's made the right choice. I've
been praying for you and your family.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
Thank you. Yeah, chat chat chept Do you want Danny
praying or do you want chat to give you?

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
Uh? Yeah, So we should have people their problems to us.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
I would say chat chypeache is a band aid. I'm
not sure that I because I I'll tell you what like.
I've gone through a couple of different therapists. There was
a guy I really liked. I've gone when I was
married to a therapist. I'm a fan of that one.
Uh the guy was pretty good. But now now I'm

(01:15:23):
seeing somebody and what I kind of like is when
they'll say i've been there and and you know what
I mean. Isn't there something about that something?

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Like, there's exactly where you are, right because I got
some fucked up ship like I don't even talk about
it has nothing to do with my kid, nothing for you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
That's saying something. Okay, imagine what we have talked about.
I can only imagine what we haven't talked about. I can't, okay,
but but you have to. I had a friend recently
called me and asked my advice on a certain thing.
And I actually went through the same situation as him, Okay,
so that we were able to talk through that. And
I'm due to call him back and say, okay, so

(01:16:03):
how did that work out?

Speaker 5 (01:16:04):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
Tony Robbins said the reason he got into what he
does is because he got addicted to the feeling of
helping people figure out their problems. But you can only
do that with a personal connection when you're doing it
with chat GPT. Okay, if you're doing that with bard
or whatever AI is out there, now, you're putting your
actual thoughts and concerns out into the internet. See that

(01:16:29):
canon will be held against you at some point, because
now that GPT is going to create a character out
of you or a template of you as a personality.
It's like this online therapy and stuff. Well it just
it's private. It's secure, yeah for now until somebody acts
into it. That's one that I would say is absolutely
a concern.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Right. There are people already writing articles or posting things
that go, you know, things I would never write into
chat GPT. And here's why. And I only read the headline,
but I'm assuming it's talking much along months as you are.
This woman has come back to say that she thinks
credentials are overrated in therapy. Okay, I can't say that

(01:17:11):
data mining and going through that, but I'm not sure
that lived experience can be different, you know, because how
many times like what's the phrase, it's easier said than done. Yes,
easier said than done.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
So we can't follow our own advice.

Speaker 3 (01:17:26):
Right, So someone so you get the chat GPT tells
you something, can you put that into action or can
you have someone go you know what, I did do
this and it did work for me. Not saying it's
going to work for you, but it is possible to
get out of this. I'm living proof. That's way more motivating,
and it's almost like in a way if you were too,

(01:17:46):
you're stranded out on the ocean. Now you see a
beam of light that's circling around from the lighthouse, you
know that land's not far.

Speaker 1 (01:17:53):
The other thing, too, is when you're dealing with an
actual psychologist or a therapist, or a pastor or somebody
who is in a position where they can offer help,
like somebody on this podcast perhaps who's been through something
you see, and they're usually local, and so they have
a network of people that they help who've been through
similar issues. Right, so there's a pattern that they can

(01:18:14):
recognize that can help you. With a lot of these
YouTubers out there, they do this whole they call pro science. Right, Hey,
it worked for me. Well here's the problem though, And
even my acupucturers told me this, Denil, she said, everybody's different.
So what works for Dan is not gonna necessarily work
for Bill.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
No, you know. But if you get a pool of people,
if you're a psychologist a pastor who've gone through similar stuff,
then and you've advised them and you know what works
and what doesn't and how, and you have a better
odds of getting better help by going to somebody who's
seen a group of people versus chat GPT. Yeah, which
has no feelings. It's just program based on the programmer.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Give me something. I'm trying to think of something. We
don't have to do anything personal. Okay, Well, what would
be like a scenario that somebody, uh, let's go, let
here's one uh just got broken up with, feel completely lost,
feel like reaching back out to the person. I'm angry,

(01:19:17):
I'm almost How should I handle this?

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Okay? I would no matter what age.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
All right, hang on a second, I'm gonna write this
in I just got you.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
You answer, no matter what age, walk away. It's not
worth it. If if they really love you for who
you are, they'll come back. And if they don't, gotta
go find somebody else, because guess what, the end of
the day, the only relationship that's gonna last is the
last relationship you'll ever have. Think about that, untile. Somebody

(01:19:48):
dies and you find somebody else, companionship or whatever. But
the odds are the last relationship you ever have is
gonna be the only relationship that lasts. So keep that
in mind. You're gonna be dating until you find the
right person. And sometimes we screw up, we get married
to the wrong person. I personally know what that's like.
I can't speak for other people in the room. I
can only speak for me. Okay, But I've also found

(01:20:10):
the right person whom I get excited every time she
walks through that door. And if I had met this
person at a different point in my life, we may
not be together now because we are completely different people
at different at other times in our lives. The point is, though,
is that once somebody closed the door, keep that door closed.
If they want to kick it open, fine, But if

(01:20:31):
they do come back, be very aware of what they
can do to you. Believe what they've done to you.
But if they really love you, it'll be easy. It
won't be hard, Don't get me wrong. It'll be work,
but it won't be difficult. It won't be complicated.

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
Now, all right, I just typed in that chat GPT.
I just got broken up with and I'm crushed. I'm lost,
depressed and want to reach out to my now axe.
I am angry. I am angry and do not know
how to handle this, James. Any suggestions, ps go bills,

(01:21:12):
any suggestions how I may move forward?

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Best sincerely, Britney Williams, former girlfriend of Josh Allen.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
All right, let's see what GPT says. Here we go.
I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. Breakups can be devastating, empathetic.
What you're going through is valid, and it's okay to
not be okay right now?

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
Yes, totally great. Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
You're grieving the loss of someone who meant a lot
to you, and that pain is real.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
It's like my friend Bill Moran Wance said to me,
it's like a death.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Yes. Yes, here is a grounded, practical path forward that
can help you navigate this one. Lift weights, want you
back ride the wave of emotions safely. You're likely feeling
a mix of sadness, anger, confusion, and helplessness. That's normal.
Let it out, cry, journal, punch a pillow, scream into

(01:22:10):
a void. Do not bottle it up.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
That's fair.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
Okay, that's very good. Avoid venting to your X. It
may feel tempting, but it often leads to more hurd
or confusion. Right, you're just getting a cycle instead, Lincoln letter,
write a letter you won't send.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
That's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):
Let it all, let it all pour out, get raw,
then burn it or delete it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:36):
Or throw it down the toilet.

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
Okay, till you fucking clock.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Okay, you don't want you don't want somebody to like
burn their house down by asses an fluck in the toilet,
But if you rip it up and then yeah, rip
it up and then throw it in the toilet. Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
Number two, no contact for now. Reaching out might feel
like relief, but it can open wounds that need time
to close. Set a thirty day no contact goal. Think
of it as a detox for your heart and nervous system.
Block or mute if needed, not out of spite, but

(01:23:14):
for your peace.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
Understand, every time you feel the urge to text right
what you want to say in a private note, reread
it tomorrow. You'll see how much clarity distance brings.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
Yes, this this actually is pretty funny. STANDEO getting scared?

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
But you know, would you read it and just put
it away and not follow through? Where a human being?
If I'm paying and coming to see you every week,
I'm held accountable. It's in the back of my head
in journal journal a right, you know what I mean.
That's wearing money, right, Well, this is using money. But
even that your time you're sitting there, you're across from

(01:23:54):
I think this is nice and it could be helpful.
It's a band aid I wouldn't use right.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
The other thing too, I would add at the end
of that thirty days, Yeah, give yourself a reward. If
you follow through with that, you give yourself. You need
to reward yourself for your victories. You just set calls
and reward yourself because that feeling, a rewarding feeling, now
sticks inside you. Now, no pun intended. Now you actually

(01:24:23):
know what that feels like. And then you're more apt
to follow through because this will happen again and again
and again.

Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
Maybe not, maybe not, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:24:32):
Maybe if you go to Roberts Wesley and and you
meet the love of your life a freshman year and
get married by sophomore year. Heay, not everybody did that,
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
I know one guy who didn't do that, Thank God.
Focus on understanding, not fixing. You may be looping through
what did I do wrong? Or how can I get
them back? Those questions feed the pain. Try shifting to
And this is where earlier in the podcast, turning the
Other Cheek, This is what I would call turning another cheek.

(01:25:02):
What am I learning about myself right now? What am
I learning about myself right now? Reflect on the relationship. Honestly,
what worked, what didn't. What you want in the future,
not just what you lost. Take care of your body
to help your mind. You're in an emotion, you're in
emotional pain, but your body is going too. Something to
eat something, even if it's small. Stay hydrated, move a walk,

(01:25:26):
a workout, even dancing in your room helps shake grief out.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
Sleep when you can.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
If you can't, try guided meditations or audio stories to
calm your mind. This is pretty fucking good. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:25:38):
Check GPT therapy. Well, what chetchip does is it it
pulls every website possible and then just harvest the advice.

Speaker 3 (01:25:45):
Don't do this alone. Now is the time to lean
on anothers stand.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Yes, I'll tell you something. I've never journaled, but I
have written myself notes in the past on my phone
right and then all of a sudden, those notes will
just come back up, but accidentally, like I'll pull, I'll
hit the note. Pat'm like, hey, I wonder what I
thought in twenty eighteen about situations like this, And I'm like, oh,
my cow, holy cow, Like I've grown so much since then.

(01:26:09):
I don't have that opinion anymore. Well, I don't think
like that. Anymore. When you journal the good thing, it's
the looking back part where you realize, yes, this is
how far I've come from that moment. That's why it's
important to journal. Number one's cathartic. You're gonna get out
right now. And number two you can go back to
it and say, this is how far I've come.

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
Here's what chat chept says. Okay, don't do this alone.

Speaker 5 (01:26:27):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
It's the time only others. Talk to a friend, a therapist,
or a support group. You do not have to be
quote unquote strong alone. Say exactly what you're feeling. Let
someone witness it. That helps more than advice ever could.
Interesting that chatchpt is telling you to go get therapy
because that part is there. Lets someone witness it. Yeah, right,

(01:26:49):
so it's not I'm just suffering in silence. Begin rebuilding slowly,
start creating small moments of meaning. Try something new, even small.
A different cafe, a new playlist.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
A class, yes, hey, meet new people. Take a cooking class.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
You know what, I would be tended to take a
cooking class.

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
I would be It's actually not a bad idea. No,
Like I talked to my brother Ryan today, he works
from home. Yeah, he had nothing going on at work,
so he started making sauce. I'm like, I've never done that. Yeah,
I'm Italian.

Speaker 3 (01:27:20):
Make a post breakup to do list, small wins, read
a book, clean your room, delete old text.

Speaker 1 (01:27:26):
I will make those outcomes. Don't make it to do list,
make them outcomes. So that way there's a goal already
in mind.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
Each little action as a way of reclaiming your sense
of self. I may have to save this. Not not
that I'm not that I haven't, but it's practically no,
I'm thinking of other things, like I have a I
have things I've got to do that I just I go, ah,
I didn't get to today. I'll do one if you want.
I can help you write a journal entry or even

(01:27:53):
a message not to send but to process how you're feeling.
Or we can make a plan together for how to
get through today, not alone. And this pain will not
last forever, even if it feels like now. Would you
like help with a daily plan to manage these feelings?

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
So yes you are yes, Yeah, see what they say.

Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
But they're going to go along. Let's see. Yes, thank
you for trusting me. Let's build a gentle grounding plan
for today. You don't need to fix everything at once.
Just focus on making it through the next few hours
with Karen intention your post break up daily healing plan, mourning,
or when you wake up the goal, ground yourself and
regain a small sense of control. Make your bed.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
Simple physical action to mark the start of the day.
That's a whim.

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
Drink water, add lemon if you can your body is depleted.
Write three sentences in a journal or notes app.

Speaker 1 (01:28:41):
Proust some salt with with the lemon. Seriously, because you
want to stay hydrated. It's like a good.

Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:28:49):
You should seriously at what am I feeling right now?

Speaker 3 (01:28:53):
What do I need today? What do I wish someone
would say to me? Breathe Try this for two minutes
inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for six repeat midday.

Speaker 1 (01:29:06):
The goal seconds seconds in hail for four seconds.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
No, it's four no four hours?

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
Yes, yes, yes, four seconds minutes first did I say minutes?
Oh no, Try this for two minutes. Yes, try this
for two minutes where you inhale one two three four,
exhale hold one two three four, exhale one two three.

Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
Four hold, then hold again, and then.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
Repeat the goal. In middays, move your body stay out
of the emotional undertow. Eat something nourishing doesn't have to
be perfect, egg soup, toast, fruit, anything you'll actually eat.
Walk ten to fifteen minutes outside, even around your block.
Put your phone away for thirty minutes. No checking their socials,
protect their socials, the X, protect your piece. Do one

(01:29:50):
small task, watch the dishes, do laundry, delete old messages
if you're ready, Light a candle evening the goal. Process
emotions without drowning in them. The letter, not to send,
say everything you wish you could. No filter, no judgment,
call her, text a friend. Not to talk about the
breakup necessarily, just to feel human again. Distract with comfort.
Watch something familiar and warm, a sitcom, YouTube, anime, whatever,

(01:30:13):
Read something light or inspiring. Listen to music that reflects
your strength, not just your heartbreak the goal. At night,
rest and self soothe, clean your space a little. Your
environment affects your headspace. Try a sleep meditation or calming playlist.
I can suggest them if you want. Tell yourself one
truth before bed. The pain is real, but it's not permanent.
I'm surviving this. I'm still here Tomorrow we try again.

(01:30:38):
Interesting shat GPT and that's what this woman did. And
I would say for people who maybe have thought of
therapy and that maybe it's not for me. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
But or bring your problems to us. We're not gonna
out you.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
Yeah, like, I'm gonna laugh in your fun right to
the show. You get people like you. Mee gives good advice,
Laura Mark has experience, Doug's had experience. I mean everyone
in the show. Greg, you know, he's got two kids.
We all have these different issues. We could be like
a council, a team of counselors for these people. Seriously, Dan,
he so badly wants to get back. We could start

(01:31:15):
our own to the life coaches.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
I don't know, dude, you could be pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
I might, but if somebody's if somebody wants me to
life coach them, I'd be willing. I'd be willing to
do it. But there's gonna be some parameters.

Speaker 3 (01:31:28):
That we used to make so much fun. It's terrible.
I think that's uh.

Speaker 1 (01:31:33):
I thought the chat Chee Peachy Soff was good. I
thought even some of the things you threw in to
add to it were good. Stay Away, Yeah, stay away, Buffalo.
First game is gonna be against the Ravens on Thursday
night football, Sunday night, Sunday night, Sunday night.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
That's what I said, Sunday night football.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:31:50):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
The schedules should be coming out in just a couple
of minutes as we wrap up this podcast. For Dan
Barillo with his buff hat on, for Father Hubert, for
Pope Leo the fourteenth, So sweet, so sweet, his brother,
his brother who down the stairs pull Nancy Pelosi is
see I'm go Moran, We'll see tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
The land up opportunity for me is just a curse
to tell that judging make us feel I have to win.

Speaker 4 (01:32:19):
Don't need a looking bottle, caddle that petenda see please
