In this heartfelt and high-energy episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes Kevin and Dan back to the studio for a jam-packed conversation. Kevin’s fresh off an epic trip to Disney World in Florida, while Dan brings his usual charm—and a few supplements—to the mic.

The trio dives deep into the life and legacy of Hulk Hogan, reacting to the shocking news of his passing. Dan passionately explains how Hogan didn’t just become a wrestling icon—he saved wrestling, twice. Iconic audio clips transport listeners back in time, as Bill admits he knew of Hulk, but never fully understood his larger-than-life lore the way Kevin and Dan do. Kevin offers a thoughtful take on separating Hulk Hogan the character from Terry Bollea the man.

They also touch on the recent loss of other cultural icons, including Ozzy Osbourne, Chuck Mangione, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner, with Bill humorously noting that the line to Heaven is getting long—and he’s glad his dad got in early.

Special guest Steve Bartolotta, founder of the Steel Rail Music Festival in Fairport, joins to share how this incredible local music fest came to life. Learn how the festival supports The Arc of Monroe and The Pirate Toy Fund, why Fairport is such a musical town, and how Steve’s family is all-in on making the event a hit. Want to volunteer? Visit steelrailfest.com to learn more.

Bill opens up about writing the eulogy for his father’s upcoming funeral, choosing to speak from the heart rather than write it all down—though Kevin has his doubts.

Finally, Kevin hosts a fun-filled round of Name That Tune, where Dan and Bill go head-to-head. It’s neck and neck… until one clear winner emerges.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
He call it a podcast from the Mac of All
Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots
Geeve Bram, It's bilified Bill Moran Podcast.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on.
Thanks for telling a friend. That's how we spread the
word about the pirate ship.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Danny, I'm glad that my uh dad got into heaven
before the line got too long. My goodness, what's happening?
I geez, we had a awful lot and uh, Kevin
is back from Florida looking uh trim and tan and
ready to gonna do mister Moran.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
When the whole comedia cuts the line on you see,
it's a Here's the thing is, like I was saying
to Kevin, household names in Ozzie and Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Two people my mother probably would never hang out with.
But my seventy eight year old mother knows those names,
whether or not she ever watched. I was not a
wrestling fan. You guys were, and I think it also
hit you guys in that sweet spot of life. I
would say, when you were little boys and it was
entertaining and it was over the time. You Also, Hogan
was one of those first ones to cross over. Oh

(03:12):
hev and movies. He was him.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Roddy Piper and Sergeant Slaughter were the kind of the
big three that crossed over.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah. I mean he didn't have transcend it. No, no, no, no.
That's what I'm saying, is like I but my thing is,
I don't know a lot of the the iconic moments
in wrestling, and I would say they're iconic. I mean,
he's Ozzie.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
And wouldn't have WrestleMania at this point without hal cogin,
you may not even have pro rustling to the level
it's at, or the level it's even like it's brought
back down to without hull Covid.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
I mean, hul Cogan rescued the sport not once but twice.
He became like it was like.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
A territory thing in the South, right, and.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
It was geared towards middle aged men who loved to
drink and watch fights. Yeah, you know, and they couldn't
have boxing every day, so they had pro rustling and
these storylines, and it was all localized in the.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
South, it was, and then it's still regional.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
And then and then Vince McMahon junior one day decides
to buy the www F from his father, shortened the
name and decides, Okay, I'm gonna take this global and
I and you have a guy in this dude named
Terry Bula hulk Hogan, who his father had fired. His
father had fired for being in the Rocky three movie.

(04:26):
He like, like Vince McMahon, seemed to did not want
hulk Cogan to be in that movie, but he.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Did it anyway, So he fires him.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Junior Vince Junior brings him back and says, listen, I'm
buying the ww F from my father. We're gonna do
a global takeover. And all of a sudden, like he
becomes a good guy. He beats the iron chic in
the middle of the Iran contra stuff because the sheep
was from Iran, right, he makes him a good guy
all of a sudden, he's this real American. And then

(04:53):
a few years later under the Giant, they turned on
to the Giant to a bad guy and hulkked body
slams him in front of like ninety seven thousand BA.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Have some audio of that that Kevin said earlier. We're
saying what this guy is really made on what he
is O greatest professional I played in the world today.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
If you look at that.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Rolla Montson on the call from Rochester and that movent
Jesse Ventura on the call on the co call.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Yeah, and that was the passing of the torch from
Andre to Hulk to take the business to the next level.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
But Andre, how much did he weigh?

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Because he was at least pounds he was and he
was on basically his deathbed. He should not have wrestled
that man. He was just he was just five hundred
pounds of dead set after.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
The Princess Bride that he filmed, he was going to
go home to die. And Vince was like, well, uh,
I need you because what do you mean, I want
you to turn to a bad guy. And Russell Hulk
Cogan wrestle Mania and so he's like, okay, so he's
now he's got a reason to live. So he goes
it as the back surgery. He comes back, it becomes a.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Brand new character because Andre never lost before us.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
It was a count out, but nobody never pinned Andre
the Giant until that point. And I mean Hogan had
wrestled him before in other in other leagues and stuff,
but Andre always won.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Andre never let anybody beat him. That was just the
he was the attraction.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
But then Hogan finally, Andrea like tells him okay, leg drop,
Like Andre's telling him how to rustle the match. And
Hogan went into the match not knowing if he was
going to win. According to Hogan, like and Vince wouldn't
tell him.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
So he's like, if Andrea wants to win that match, he.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
Can win the match and Andre and then Hogan tears up,
n Yeah, and i'mah.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
If Andre wants to win the match, Andre wins the match.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
And and Hogan said that when he went to pin Andre,
he was shocked that he got a three count because
he didn't think Andre Andre was just breaking his balls
the whole time.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Andre's gonna let him win.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
He knew that the wink wink with Vince, but he
wasn't gonna let they neither one of 'm gonna let
Hogan know what was going on.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
And legendary drinker two under the giant.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh yeah, like three thousand calories of alcohol a day.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Who he quit drink bowls the line like a canniber.
How old was he?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Forty four, forty six, forty six?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Good?

Speaker 7 (07:11):
And his daughter is about six foot five and looks
just like him.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
She does not an attractive no, lots of tattoos and stuff.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
But then so Rustling starts to die off the steroids
stuff starts coming out in the late eighties early nineties,
Hogan denies that he uses steroids on our Cineo Hall.
A lot of the guys in the business were like, dude,
come on, really, and then he goes down.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
He quits Rustling.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
And then Eric Bischoff when we've interviewed, convinces him to
come to WCW and they reinvigorate WCW.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
But it's not quite there yet.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
He's got to talk Hulk Cogan into becoming a bad guy.
And Hogan's like popularity in the South was dwindling because
he wasn't one of theirs. He was a New York guy.
He was a Vince McMahon guy. Well down here we
got WCW. This is our rustling, This is real rustling.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
So what does he do?

Speaker 5 (07:57):
He brings in a couple of guys, Kevin Nashton, Scott
Hall from the WWF.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
They start this thing called the nWo. When he turns and.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Immediately America's like, wait, wait, wait, Hulk Hogan's a bad guy.

Speaker 8 (08:06):
You're a kid?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Is that this audio?

Speaker 8 (08:07):
Here?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Cogging a rod? What did they?

Speaker 9 (08:14):
God?

Speaker 6 (08:15):
God is he that? He's a dark man?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
God the hell it's gone on here? Oh Coggan, that's great.

Speaker 6 (08:21):
Try w W Hey, that's a dark man.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Look at manufacture.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
Bobby Heenen and Dusty Rhodes.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Do you guys watch that live? Did you watch that live?

Speaker 7 (08:31):
I was in my early late teens, early twenties.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I did I heard about it in school, Like my
brother was Dan, Dan, You're not going to.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Believe this, Like, what's the matter with the w c W.
That thing you were in your early teens in twenty yeah, oh.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, ninety.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Ninety five or ninety six. He turned heel, wait are
you I don't know who's on? I'm forty five.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh yeah, you don't look it.

Speaker 8 (08:53):
And so so.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Saw of a sudden, here comes like every like a
schools like, oh, COG's a bad guys, a bad come on?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
No, yeah, no, Paul Cogan.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
And then all of a sudden moreyes are on wrestling again. Yeah,
and then he had this huge turnaround.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah. So WCW kind of bounces back, and then he
does end up back at ww E and then.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Like ww figures out a way like through like other
means to beat WCW. Steve Austin becomes this big star,
as big as hul Cogan at one point, and then.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Then they emerge.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Hogan and Rock have like the arguably the greatest WrestleMania
match since Andre and Hogan in Toronto, where Hogan's supposed
to be the bad guy, Rock's supposed to be the
good guy, and the crowds cheering for Hogan because they
want Hogan to turn, they want Hogan to be good.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
They wanted their Hulk back, and.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
He came back and he went home the next the
next day we're supposed to do a Monday night show,
Vince made him fly home to Tampa on the corporate jet,
get his yellow and Black or yellow and red stuff
and fly back to where they were going to be,
which is Montreal.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
And he couldn't fight it, so he had to go
back at the Black.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
The point was that he wanted all the America demanded
Hulk Cogan and the WW come back to the Red
and Yellow, and.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
He had a hell of a second run with them too.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, he was a champ. It's iconic and that's what
it did, did transcend and really did change the popularity
of the sport.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah, because like Jim Cornett, who's a long time wrestling
manager and officiano aficionado off Rustling, says this, if you
don't have Hulkogan at the top of the pyramid, then
you don't have Rustling because everybody else fell into place.
Like you couldn't bring in Rick Flair to the WW
because he was a bad guy and kids aren't gonna
follow a bad guy. They need a good guy, right,
So he was the rising tide that floated all the boats.
And now everybody's interested in Rustling because they marketed the kids,

(10:41):
and what do kids do? They continue watching it as adults.
They brought like superheroes into real life with pro Rustling.

Speaker 7 (10:47):
And Flair was a Southern guy and the people of
the earth didn't give a shit.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Yeah, they didn't care because it was all like it
was considered redneck, whereas Vince made it sports entertainment. We're
gonna keep the matches to five minutes. We're going to
keep him quick. They're gonna be funny, they're gonna be
you know, and you're gonna have an emotional connection.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
And that's what Vince.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Halkoge and iconic. But the demand Terry Bula he's a
dirt bag.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah that you were saying that, and I gotta get
some of that went on because you said, what is
it now years.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Ago to the day that the stuff came out in
the New York Post about all the N word and
all that stuff that.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
He was never ate that pile of ship for he
was having sex with Bubba the Love spongees wife and
Bubba the Love Sponge had a camera running like blackmail
because that's kind of what about Bubba's scumbag too, and
he's like m F and this this black gentleman whose
wife is or sorry his daughter was dating. And and

(11:42):
then Bubba released it, and then that came out and
Hogan shut down Gocker with the lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah that's right. It was Gawker that got it and
he shut it down. That's amazing. Yeah, they they didn't
have the money to fight it, yep.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
But uh but I mean like, yeah, Hogan made his
his share of mistakes or terry Bully, it did. But
I always got the sets though that deep down he
wanted to be like you know, you never heard a
bad story about him signing autographs, ray of that stuff.
And there's this love hate relationship in the wrestling annals
in locker room with hult Hogan.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
But I mean, the guy was an icon.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, he had his own beer le We do a
little open. You're gonna have some a little bit. It's
not gonna hurt you. It's something ol Hogan. The Hulkster.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
MM tastes like South Florida.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's actually not bad though, it's really not.

Speaker 10 (12:39):
It's not a bad beer, no, I I uh, let
me tell you something, brother.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
And then he had Chuck Mangione, who I yes, certainly
not as big.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's of the trumpet.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Well, I mean, I kidd, I played Chuck Man songs
when I started on the radio. I did the original hits,
the forties, fifties and sixties, and there was some chuck
in there. Bam, I forget the song that it was.
Does it Feel So Good? Yeah? And then you had

(13:10):
Ozzie right, another iconic transcended rock and roll, transcended the
whole thing. And then somebody I just think is known
is Malcolm Jamal Moore.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
He was the first big brother a lot of us
ever had. I Malcolm, yeah, because I didn't have an
older brother, Malcolm Jamal Warner. Like that first episode of
The Cosby Show where Bill, where Doctor Huxtable was explaining
the THEO, you know, THEO just wants to be a
regular person, have a regular life. And THEO was the
model for his son Ennis, whom he didn't realize was dyslexic.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh, so that like, so he's trying to explain to.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
His kid the real world, and it it's in like
how to do well in school and that type of stuff,
because I mean, your father is a doctor here and
you're just gonna go out and just waste your life.
That was But I mean the Cosby Show really was
a wholesome show that changed the way Americans looked at sitcoms,
and it changed the.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Way American like, this is not my word.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
This is one of the actresses from The Cosby Show
saying this, who played Sonder. I forgot her name. She
said it changed the way Americans look at black people.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
So I would think that that's true. But I would
go with Kevin who said earlier, I'm sorry to I don't.
I don't. I don't put him as the third in
that iconic trifecta.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
I don't think he's an icon He's known.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
But if it were caused, if it were Cosmy Cosby,
that would be. Yeah. You've got to separate the Cliff
Huxtable from right. You got to separate the Hulk Hogan
from the Wow he found Jesus.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Before he died.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
How do you know?

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Because they showed they showed Hi getting baptized and everything
he talked about made a profession. Now only only God
and Hulk know whether that was sincere, but I believe
it was. They were all scumbags.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well, no greater I I yes, I like to think this.
If we all just followed the ten Commandments, you don't
even need church or he just follow them. I think
you have a pretty nice world.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
God says, you break one of them, you break all
of them.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Well do you understand?

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Okay, fine, I know what you mean.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I murder somebody, but I mighta know what you.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
Cost earlier.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
That one of them. Oh you can't curse.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
No, no, that's not one of the things. You can't
take the lord's name of Vein.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Oh, the lord's name of Van Well, I probably did. Yeah,
I think g d I d a lot. I did
a lot. You know who didn't like? Oh? God, yeah
I do.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
I like I used to like a cringe. And then
Tom George would come in the studio. Bro, how do
you deal with them taking the lord's name in Vein
like that? I go, I just I look, God, deal
with it.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Tom George is morphing and Tommy.

Speaker 7 (15:37):
Mula right there?

Speaker 9 (15:38):
No, he was.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
That was a pretty good time. Well, they were similar.
Actually Tom was a little deeper.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
There are times when people can confuse who Billy was
and who Tommy was occasionally.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, my wife still ask me. She goes, how come
I haven't met Tommy yet? I go, you will.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
That'll be with your dad in a couple of weeks. Yes,
the guy almost fell being it's a lot of people
who passed away in a very short window right of notoriety,
but even in our personal wives too.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
I mean like people have been like, it's a heavy month,
but it's been a heavy couple of months.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, well, who died in the past couple of months?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Your father passed away.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
This month? I got that, he said, the past couple
of months.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
Okay, your father, my father, my grandmother. I found out
that a high school classmate of mine died last week.
He was diagnosed with leukemia and died the next day.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Lucky him, I mean, holy in a way.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, what he didn't suffer.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
But it was like I murdered a toilet earlier.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Is that help? I was wondering due.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
A while to get back from the laboratory.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Who you did me?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh I didn't. I just had a long stream that day.

Speaker 10 (16:56):
No, buddy, but I'll tell you this.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
The toilet was still filling, so you must have fucking
flushed it.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
I took a whiz.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Oh did you suggest you just murdered from I don't
say I murdered it here. I just said I murdered
one today.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh I got you. I got you. Yeah, I did too.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
I went for a run and then I up sthill.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
No I didn't, I did not. I did once poop
on the side of powder Mills Park. Powdermills Park. I
had a poop so bad that I ran up the mountain,
hung my ass off the side, and poop.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Do you know it's Walter Casper up there trying to
push it.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
No, no, no, no no.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
But I was just gonna go, oh my gosh, somebody
comes along. They're gonna think there's a mountain lion.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, the mountain lion. You mean a mud slide. Yeah,
it's unreal.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
My niece and nephew thought that the mountain lion was
in their neighborhood and Irondoquoit. Oh, so they have a

Know if they have if that, if there really was
a Mountain Lion, do we think there was? I don't either,
but I heard it before I went to Florida. I
heard it had done in a Wigo. So that's a

some memory and knowledge of of Chuck little more than
I probably do, and maybe even has some thoughts in

(23:05):
The late Chuck Mangione, that was one of his Uh,
that was like the signature song. It feels so good
played that on the original hits of the forties, fifties,
and sixties.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Did you the Godfather theme too?

Speaker 9 (23:19):
Or no?

Speaker 4 (23:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (23:20):
But I think that stuff found new life on King
of the Hill. Oh really, I think King of the
Hill used Chuck Manzoni songs. I'm pretty sure somebody needs
if if anybody can take a moment and look that up,
I love that. But I'm pretty sure that was the case.
But Danny says he has to cure to all this death. Yes,
I do, all right, Kevin, are you ready?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Is going to be a ken We got the cure.
It's going to be the best cure to me.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
What do you think is gonna be something?

Speaker 7 (23:45):
Jesus?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, well, Jesus, somebody reached out to me today about
Danny and the supplements, and they are so on your side.

Speaker 7 (23:52):
That's your new band, So on your side.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
All right?

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Cool? And in the supplements, well.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
There's Danny in the healthy fact Danny and the supplements. Yeah,
you know, I had somebody approached me about restarting Giggler's
Bridge earlier this week.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Uh huh uh, but I have I have, I have
the answer, Billy, what's the answer?

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Kevin just came back from a place called Disney. And
there's a rule at Disney.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
And the rule is nobody dies at Disney.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
That's not true.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
I almost did twice.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
That is not true.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
No, I was told that, like, if somebody dies at Disney,
they have to bring him off the premises and declare
them dead.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, so if there is what about the little boy
that got sucked up? They couldn't find him.

Speaker 8 (24:29):
He could have.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Evaporated, he could have he could have elevated to a
higher level of he could have rapted.

Speaker 8 (24:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
But no, the story at Disney is that nobody dies. Yeah,
so let's just go to Disney. Somebody's sick, bring him
to Disney. Okay, expensive though, but maybe your insurance could
cover that.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Dan drink, Well, you know this is why. And you
might know it's so funny. It is like, Uh, my
brother was an economic forecaster for Disney and my older
boys were little, so we would go down. I had
a time share down there, and he would help us
into the park and we had a great time. My
sister won't hasn't taken her kids to Disney. They want
to go to Disney, she won't, she hasn't. She's taken

(25:08):
them to the Galapagos Islands. She's taken them to Sardinia,
She's taken them to parts of Spain, She's taken them.
They're leaving a week next Wednesday. They're going to Iceland.
They're gonna do it was beautiful, some kind of snowmobile
thing experience. Then they're going from there, I think, to Denmark,

(25:31):
and then from Denmark to beaches of Croatia. How how
old are you? Thirteen and ten? So they are at
that Disney, yeah, and Croatia.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
If you've ever looked at the Croatia strategically placed along
the bord so that Bosnians can't get to the beach.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's a beautiful, beautiful the beaches of Croatia. So that's
what they do. They'd rather do that than than Disney
and my sister swears it's maybe a little money to
do what she's doing. Probably is could be. I don't know,
it's kind of you could die, you could yeah, this
is this is true, you know. But I mean they

(26:09):
were at the Galapagos Island. She's she does she's uh snorkel.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Where they were like studying, like the Galopos isn't that where?

Speaker 10 (26:17):
Like?

Speaker 2 (26:17):
H what's his name? I don't know the origin of
the species.

Speaker 10 (26:20):
Darwin?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Was he doing stuff there?

Speaker 1 (26:22):
He probably he died too, yes, well a long time ago.
But the uh, yeah, so I don't know. You're right,
nobody dies at Disney. I have to test that theory
because my sister in law was trained in uh and
they had to go for intensive training how to write
Mickey's signature mini signature, so it all looks all the same.

(26:47):
There's a training and she had to do it all.

Speaker 11 (26:49):
Oh Wowa and I had a protracted conversation the other
day about Disney and the dark side of Disney. You
guys have seen all the stuff online, right, oh yeah,
mental messages like what are you doing?

Speaker 10 (27:01):
This is for kids?

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Right?

Speaker 10 (27:03):
Steamboat Willie video? Have you seen that?

Speaker 8 (27:06):
I know what?

Speaker 10 (27:07):
Not?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Gonna go back and watch it.

Speaker 10 (27:08):
He's making Swiss cheese. You should get that up.

Speaker 11 (27:12):
Speaking of getting it up, it's it's disturbing to say
the least.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
He's making Yeah, oh really, Well, there's also the original,
the original cover. Remember how Disney movies used to come
on VHS tapes and those big plastic containers like like.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
That they put the move the VHS tape. Okay, the
original you can look this up.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
The original Little Mermaid artwork had golden pallasies in the background.

Speaker 7 (27:45):
I thought that was in the movie, not in the cover.

Speaker 10 (27:47):
I thought it was like a palace yea.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, yeah yeah right, yeah yeah, same thing. And then
like Pinocchio the artist, like they showed Pinocchio growing.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
A tail and stuff like oh there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah they were they were dirty, man, well they weren't dirty.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
And they're also like what was anti semitic too?

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Maybe might have been Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
That's definitely. Oh yeah, Mickey's a perv.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
This has changing the cheese.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
This has changed my opinion on Mickey Mouse completely.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Never eat Swiss cheese again.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Blowing the cheese, Willie.

Speaker 10 (28:22):
What they got to get the holes in there? Somehow?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's right? Oh, there we go.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I see.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
That's the thing is like with Ai. Now I can't
tell it all.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I don't know. Yeah, I just saw a picture. I
just saw a picture of hall Covid Naz the Osbourn
at the gates of Heabit.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I thought that was really uh chuck uh. And somebody
put their face in front of me, like, oh, are
you the fifth beetle? You just saw the road you
went to Disney this past week. I saw no perversion. No,
you walked to what was a two thousand miles a day?

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Pretty close?

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, I mean it was like six miles a day,
seles a day. Yeah, it's it's unbelievable what goes on
down there. But it's fun and it's clean. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (29:10):
It's not fun when you're an adult.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
It's not fun when you get the little kids. Oh
my god, it's a nightmare. What was your favorite ride?
Watching the old three to nine year olds have typer
tensons coming off of Sugar Rise at about seven or
eight o'clock at night.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Terrible, best ever, well, one of the best musical events ever.
And every summer and what is this your third summer?

Speaker 10 (29:32):
It's actually our fifth summer.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Man time fly.

Speaker 11 (29:36):
Well, but the thing is you're right about because we
hit two years off because of COVID.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
We did, Okay, That's that's why in my head I
remember going to these and then I will not be
in town this weekend, but I have my dad's funeral.
But I I love this event, the Steel Rail, and
I think Danny's wife is playing in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
So what's happening with Steel Rail?

Speaker 11 (29:56):
Is it same similar format to last year? We all
always change the bands up. I try to keep you know,
the rotation fresh and give some younger talented people a chance.
So it's eleven venues all over the village. It's eighty
plus musical acts and.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Everybody.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
The thing that makes this festival unique. Everybody. We're trying
to make sure they have their own unique experience.

Speaker 11 (30:22):
Like if you you want to be someplace at one
to see this band, you know you're going to go
down to Country Roads at.

Speaker 10 (30:28):
Three, you know, up to the brewery at five.

Speaker 11 (30:31):
Theoretically, everyone who attends this could sort of have a
different experience, right depend what they want to do.

Speaker 10 (30:36):
That's the fun part. It's a crawl, it's a it's a.

Speaker 11 (30:39):
Day drinking kind of fun crawl you know that kind
of and.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
The weather's going to be great. It's supposed to beautiful. Yeah,
and so you get you.

Speaker 10 (30:46):
Get out here.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Fairport's like the perfect place to do this with. All right,
it's walking and now with the construction you can walk
from one side to the other. You can't drive, so
the traffic is low. You have to worry about that.
And it's it's fantastic.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
Report is the Disney of the North Walk?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Did you just walk?

Speaker 11 (31:07):
They do call it Nashville, a little little Nashville.

Speaker 7 (31:10):
You can also like app cut, you can drink around Fairport.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
You can like around the world. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Do you have Do we have special Fairport balloons? They're
in the shape of like like ears like they have
at Disney.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
No, the kids like they're in the shape of It
depends on where you go. You got you know, the
Iron Smoke balloon, Yeah, Munt Connery balloon, which would be
the Shamrocks or whatever. I think this is great, Steve,
So what it's Saturday only?

Speaker 2 (31:35):
No, it's Saturday.

Speaker 11 (31:36):
And as an homage to the fact that it's always
been Sunday, we have a party.

Speaker 10 (31:40):
It's on Sunday. I put the b there's four bands
that day and.

Speaker 11 (31:44):
That's uh an after party put everybody who has a
bracelet or wants to come is invited to that too,
And I think it's the four Narry brothers are going
to host a gem at the end of that. So
we'll we'll start that at noon on Sunday. And so,
like I say, because this is the first year we've
done it on a Saturday, which we're hoping for big

(32:05):
things because of that, and so we're just gonna, you know,
as as an homage, we're going to do a Sunday
thing too.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah. Right, that's not a bad idea planning. This has
to be just so much fun. The logistics of this,
trying to put it all together, get the bands lined up,
make sure they're going to show up on time, They've
got the right room they get which is tight.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
You No, that was a big deal.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
We tried to bring you back.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
They tried to bring me back out of retirement last year.
I couldn't do it.

Speaker 10 (32:34):
So my daughter Kelsey is here, so is my wife Diane.

Speaker 11 (32:36):
And Kelsey does all the booking and we get like
two hundred and fifty applications every year and she's got
to go through.

Speaker 10 (32:42):
And I'm gonna let her talk about that process.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
How do you pick Kelsey without being like, you know,
bigger the envelope. But let's say, let's say it's like,
is there any nepotism in this in terms of friendship
and things?

Speaker 12 (32:56):
So, like my dad mentioned, I think we try to
give new people a shot every year awesome, So we get, yeah,
we wish like over two hundred applications every year. We
kind of weed through them. We do the whole research website,
facebook page, social media, look up any upcoming gigs they have,
just stuff.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Like that and just okay, you're using the word we ya.
Are you sure it's not just me you? I mean,
do you have them wrong asking? I don't know, I
mean both, I got it. Yes, I this this specific
part I do.

Speaker 12 (33:36):
It's a lot of research, but it's fun, Like I
get to learn about new bands too that maybe I
haven't heard of or haven't seen. So yeah, it's a
lot of it's a process, but then it's it's fun
to we make band videos for all the bands too
that are playing Wow. So I get to find band
photos for them and send them their videos and they
post them and they tag us and they share the
ticket link and it's just fun to scroll through your

(33:58):
feet and just see like all steal rails, Yeah, videos
and are playing all over the feed.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
So yeah, that's great fun. Yeah, it's a boy. What
a lot of work though, and then you know, egos
get involved somewhere along. I'm just saying, Steve. Even in
the music.

Speaker 11 (34:14):
Industry, I will say occasionally bringing in some fresh bands
does blow up in our face a little bit, because
you know, if you haven't done a lot of gigs,
not that these people haven't, but occasionally there's some expectations
that younger bands kind of have that you know, you're

(34:35):
not You're not going to bring your Neil Parrot kit
for a forty five minutes right right right, right, right
right right, because we got you got fifteen minutes to like,
everybody plays forty five minutes.

Speaker 10 (34:45):
That's the other thing about our fest.

Speaker 11 (34:47):
It's like bang bang bang, right, So the turnovers fifteen minutes.

Speaker 10 (34:51):
So people, I mean people who haven't done it, Yeah,
that's a lot they might not know.

Speaker 7 (34:55):
I've played nine gigs in a rider seven pages long.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
So that's interesting, Like, why did you pick forty five minutes?
To me, is it's a perfect, perfect time.

Speaker 11 (35:04):
Because I'll tell you because I've been at festivals and
been bored out of my mind. Yeah, when is the
next band going to play? I got to sit through
this for another hour and a half, right, you know?
And and just two things that always stuck out to me.
I want options about where I can go, and I want.

Speaker 10 (35:21):
You know, shorter, you know, I want to taste.

Speaker 11 (35:23):
I want to be able to see a lot of
different bands.

Speaker 10 (35:25):
I love live music. It's just I'm add so I
have to have.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Right right, you know. Yeah, So this is all work.
Tickets obviously still on sale steel railfest dot com. Yes, okay,
and that you can go there.

Speaker 11 (35:41):
And there's a bunch of places in the village that
are selling them. All the all the participating bars have
you know, cash sale bracelets, and if you buy them
today or tomorrow, you save you know, the twenty dollars
versus the twenty five. So yeah, yeah, Danny, your your
wife is playing.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
She's playing at Molconnery's at six o'clocks. He's playing with.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Her with her Saturday, Yes, yeah, and you'll be there
full support.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I'll be there breaking that number one finger.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Oh nice.

Speaker 11 (36:08):
Yeah, So I want to take a minute if I
can and let Diane and my wife, Diane's here, We
need a couple of few more volunteers.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
I'll let her talk, okay, So volunteers.

Speaker 13 (36:19):
Yeah, So we have spots open still for volunteers, mostly
in the afternoon, the four to seven thirty spots at
the doors at TJ.

Speaker 10 (36:30):
Ryans.

Speaker 13 (36:31):
We have them at shorts De Land House, which is
a really lovely little place. If you haven't been to
the land House, you should definitely go. They have music
out on their little patio and stuff during the week.
So we still do need a number of volunteers. We
need some stage managers that just kind of help the band,
say hey, you got five minutes left and help them,

(36:53):
you know, get off in the next one, get on,
get back at Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
All right, Ladzia, gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Yeah, Danny, you would be great. You get up the stage.
I'm going to start talking. Yeah a lot that doing, Danny,
you'd be great at that though, I could be.

Speaker 7 (37:08):
Yeah, So nobody listened to so.

Speaker 9 (37:12):
That.

Speaker 13 (37:12):
The volunteer stuff is also on the website. Okay, go
to steel Rest steel Reilfest dot com. There is a
volunteer link you can go on that or for the
stage managers, they can contact Steve for housing. You win,
you get a fabulous T shirt, you get into the

(37:34):
whole festival, and yeah, it's it's going to be a
lot of fun. You should want to miss out.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
You got dragged into this. This wasn't your idea to
do this.

Speaker 9 (37:42):
Well it was.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
So we.

Speaker 13 (37:46):
Started out like we want to do something to help people.
So we went and we did, you know, packed boxes
of food at Goodwill and you know, or what was
it not Goodwill? It was one of the other charity.
And Steve said, you know, I can do better than this,
and boom, the next thing, you know, we've got a festival.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah right, Yeah, he doesn't.

Speaker 13 (38:10):
He doesn't just do small stuff.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
It's like explosion.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Well, Steve, pull that back over for just a second.
I don't mean to take it away from your wife,
but you can deal with that later. No, But my
question is, like the idea of this. You look at
these things, they're not easy, they're enormous. You've got to
get other people to buy in, right and give up

(38:36):
time and whatever in their places. But you're bringing people
to the area, so it shouldn't be that hard. But
I got to think this is an undertaking.

Speaker 11 (38:43):
Why, well, here's the thing, like if you knew, well,
we didn't use the first year we did it for
Rochester Regional Health and then the second year he did
for the Music Hall of Fame, which I was on
the board at the time. And in that instance, uh,
Tracy for the Arkaman Row helped she she you know,
they have developmentally disabled adults and they want to participate

(39:06):
in activities like this, and I want it to be like, oh,
this is.

Speaker 10 (39:08):
A special event just for that.

Speaker 11 (39:10):
No, they're they're like everybody else right, put it, you know,
make them part of the community kind of a thing.
And so they were terrific helpers. But also like we
just fell in love with Tracy and her heart is
just like you just love her. So that's the thing
that keeps me focused. And I think that's the thing
that that helps people rarely behind us is the people

(39:31):
we work are working for the Pirate Toy Fund and
the Arkham and Roe.

Speaker 10 (39:36):
They're just absolutely beautiful people and you just want to
like fall on a knife for them, you know, they're
just wonderful.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
So not sure.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
After a couple of years, it gets a little easier
until you start adding more and more into it and
it makes more difficult.

Speaker 11 (39:47):
It does, and we you know we got we got.
Uh you know, people bands walk in with just their guitars.
So that means that speaking logistically, that means that you
have to have a PA system at every place right
right in microphones and thing drum kit and and amps
and so that coordination without John Bretto and Steve Ball,

(40:09):
who are backline coordinators. They right now they're like out
collecting equipment and there tomorrow they're going to go get
the truck. And you know, it's just like it's a
it's a it takes an army village.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
That's uh, well, okay, when are you playing? I'm not,
but I'm gonna play Sunday because I can't. What do
you mean you take a minute?

Speaker 8 (40:30):
You're the guy.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
You gotta put it on.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Jump up there, bed.

Speaker 10 (40:33):
I love that we did play last year.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
You said new bands every year, start from the top.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
All right, the Kelsey decide you weren't playing. I didn't
make the Connect.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Festival you found.

Speaker 10 (40:47):
I gotta call it bringing your playbook into my office.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Yeah that's funny. I like the sut get Rail.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
But yeah, the concerts you guys have the summer Concerence Series.
It's been leading up to this.

Speaker 11 (41:02):
Yes, we started that this year, trying to get bring
some more awareness, raise a little bit more.

Speaker 10 (41:08):
Money and uh and just keep our name out there.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
And it's been good.

Speaker 10 (41:13):
It's our first stage collapsed that.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
But we had it.

Speaker 10 (41:18):
We redid it. Yeah, we had a stage in it.

Speaker 11 (41:21):
It was like amount of rain that day and I'm
actually thankful because if it.

Speaker 13 (41:28):
Was gonna who amount of rain, Well we got all

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Yeah, how where's Gap these days?

Speaker 11 (42:40):
I think if you hang out at Woodcliffe long enough,
you'll run into me.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Does he still playing?

Speaker 10 (42:45):
I think he plays a little bit every.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Yeah, that's a uh. The
the you forget, like what musical genius came out of
Rochester when you think about it, I would say that,
and I always think that even now, right, Kodak isn't
what it was. But they brought such brilliant minds here,

(43:08):
and this isn't a very transient community. People come and
they stay, they'll leave and come back. People like being
your family. Believe me as I'm seeing now in my
own family, my sister in DC, me here, my brother
and Kenny Buck. You're kind of all over the place
that it's nice when everybody's right here. And I always thought, boy,
they brought some of the smartest people into work for Kodak.

(43:28):
These guys were guys who invented things. But instead of
taking the risk of maybe this will hit and maybe
it'll shit, I'll get a job and I'll get a
steady paycheck and I'll raise my family. Sounds like a
good trade off.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
I mean, didn't Kodak start the didn't George start the
Easton School of Music?

Speaker 9 (43:46):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (43:47):
I mean you go bringing that.

Speaker 10 (43:49):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
So I just go all those things.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
And now when you look like all the brilliant little
companies that are here, I always go yeah, because there
were some really really smart people and they pro created
here and you know, I mean the little dummies, but we'll.

Speaker 10 (44:01):
Figure there were there were.

Speaker 11 (44:03):
It was a time too when in the nineties when
Kodek divested from all of their they were in everything
like you need boxes, We'll make our own boxes, you
need wire, will make our own. And they started like
kind of getting into a let's just stay and wear
our niches because.

Speaker 10 (44:19):
Some of these things are.

Speaker 11 (44:20):
But what they did was they brought rise to all
these like they said, look at I know you used
to work in the wire harness department, right, I want
you to go out and start your own wire harness
company and we'll buy from you guys. And what happened
with all those businesses then like just grew into like, yeah,
I was talking to a guy speaks specifically about wire

(44:42):
The guy was doing like greyhound buses and wire harnesses
for all. But it started with just his gig at
Codec And I said, are you still doing He says, yeah,
it's only about.

Speaker 10 (44:51):
Ten percent of our business now, but we this is
back when it was cooking. Sure, so there's that.

Speaker 11 (44:58):
You said something and I monopolized the conversation. But what
you said about the talent. And I used to serve
on the board for the Music Hall of Fame. Sure,
people don't realize that we have a once. Everyone's like,
you know, my brothers should be in there, But we
have a book. I was never on the selection committee,
but it's it's fifty pages long. It's about five hundred

(45:19):
names long of people who are from Rochester who are
either you know, signed artists, one Grammys.

Speaker 10 (45:26):
You know, people don't.

Speaker 11 (45:27):
Really I wrote the theme song for this whatever it is, right,
and people don't realize it but we're this community is
just like like I'm not like if you look at Buffalo,
for example, they're already into like they're they've been around
a lot longer, but they're already into there. Like these
are the guys that were in big bands that played
in bars stage right, we're fifteen twenty years away from that,

(45:53):
you know here.

Uh.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Kevin just said to me, because I've been asked to
deliver the eulogy at my father's funeral this weekend. And
Kevin said, you haven't written it yet, have you? And
I was actually talking to somebody about this earlier today
and they said, I hope I'm not putting too much
pressure on you by asking have you started to write it?
And I said, no, I have the beats worked out

(50:57):
in my head. And I was driving a lot today.
I wanted to get gas and snacks, and I got
a haircut and all that stuff, and pick up my
clothes for the my funeral clothes that you know.

Speaker 9 (51:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
And I just kept going over and over and over
it and then I did dictate it and then printed
it out. And I'm gonna make some notes to change
some things.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
But I don't want to because Kevin, I said, you
just running through chetchypet. Chatchypet can do if you set
chat GPT up right, you can ask them to do
something in your voice if you write or use it
a lot. And I use it from time time. But
I think I'm gonna go So you're not.

Speaker 7 (51:35):
Gonna wing it, are you? You're gonna write something down?

Speaker 11 (51:37):

exactly what I'm doing. Chatch, you can't get drunk.

Speaker 2 (51:57):

He was the greatest father, tremendous father.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Is one day it's just this.

Speaker 7 (52:07):
They're gonna make you. Is she gonna prove it for you?
You deliver?

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Well, here's why I don't want to write it. She's
gonna prove it.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
No, she's not gonna proof read it. Look at they
asked me to do this. I'm gonna get up there
and I'm gonna do it. And I was even talking
to my mom and I said, I haven't written it,
but I go I don't feel like I need to
because I really want to speak from the heart, and
I know the points that I want to make and
the things that I want to say.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
And you know, I don't know. I mean, I could
give you a little glimpse of it, I suppose.

Speaker 5 (52:36):
But I eulogized. I've eulogized people before. I just use
bullet points.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Yes, I want to make it. I don't want to
sound like I'm reading something exactly.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
I mean either, And I just want to get up there,
note free and I have I have my whole opening thing.
You know what I'm gonna say. For those of you
who don't know me, my name is Bill Moran. I
am the eldest son of Bill Moran. And I said,
but he did not burn me with the moniker of Junior. However,
no one thought this through as to what it would

(53:06):
do to my self esteem when he was referred to
as Big Bill. And I was a little billy even
as an adult. And then I just it was a
cute open day. Is it's a cute open What happened
to two flies? Two flies were sitting on a piece
of boop. No, I'm definitely not doing that. But yes,
I didn't see it asian. Okay, I'm not see I can't.

(53:28):
You can't really do, Joe.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
I figure that they're I guarantee they're expecting at least
a joke out of you come on fancy radio boy
and make us laugh.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Well, I think, like I was gonna say, you know,
I was gonna do this whole thing and and uh
three things. That kind of what I was going to
say is that we all change as human beings. We evolve.
Who we are sitting here today probably won't be who
we are five years from now. And I don't mean
just physically, but your opinions change, your thoughts on things changed,

(54:03):
Things just changed. And I said, what's so great is
to look out here and see people like my mom,
who I'm so grateful is here today because her perspective,
she knew him as a young man trying to impress her.
That's something I don't know about my dad, you know.
And then I was the oldest child when I broke
him in as a father, and my brother was the

(54:24):
youngest child and just realizing he didn't care about it,
not didn't care, but was a little more hands off
at that point. And you know, my oldest son made
him a grandfather, and his experience will be much different
than my nephew, who is the youngest grandchild at eight
years old. And all the different perspectives. And then I

(54:45):
was going to say, but there's three themes that carried
through that, you know, his sense of humor, his love
of knowledge and vocabulary, and his creativity which was just unbelievable.
And then I was going to end it with there
was something that mighty, you make me say the whole thing,
but sort of but serious.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
This is the preview.

Speaker 7 (55:06):
I'll sell you the text from your sister. She made
me do it.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Shut the fire. I believed him for a second. I
wouldn't be surprised that my brother did. But then I
what I was going to say is there was one
thing else that he was, and that was a great protector.
He was an amazing protector and would say to me
something that I say to my son's I'm not here

(55:29):
to ruin your good time. I'm here to keep you alive.
And when I would say that to my brother and sister,
he never said it to them. So I don't know
what that says about me. But I also and what
I was going to say is, you know, as the
great protector, I said, despite the fact that I slipped
fart powder into his coffee at one point, which I
always son get some last and that he fell hands

(55:52):
first into a fire and had severe burns. And my
brother calls me and says, Dad fell into the fire.
He's got severe burns on his hands. Just call me.
She's on her way to to get him some pain medication.
His hands are wrapped up like oversize oven mits. And
I think it was my brother who said, let's hang

(56:15):
up the phone, call him and see how long it
takes for him to answer. We tortured this guy. But
and then I was gonna go into this whole thing
where he used to say, your father's not dead. So
like the time the police showed up at my house,
your father said, And what he meant by that is
I have your back, and I want. What I'm here
to say today is our father, your friend, your grandfather,

(56:37):
your cousin, your uncle is not dead. He lives on
forever here and he lives on forever in vocabulary and
in great words you're gonna hear and silly jokes. And
that's it.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
It's funny.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
Over the years when you when you left CMU, I
remember so many stories about your father. There's so many
phrases that you told me that I remembered that you
that your father used over the years that actually got
me through some stuff.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Really. Yeah, it's a sweet, sweet sweet for.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
You, Paul Bill would do.

Speaker 7 (57:06):
Yeah, just don't go too long on the stage, manager,
I'll play off the stage.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
I think about and worry that I'm at at like
a ten minute a ten minute thing. I think if
I do it and I'm just talking to you and
not at you, I think I can pull it off
if you start the tear during it, though, I don't
know if you've got to go to a knee. You
got to take a knee and make it and just yeah,
I will send me. So I teered up. I didn't

(57:30):
tear up.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
There my father's, but I teared up there my father
in laws.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Okay, I teered up the lost my voice cracked and everything,
you know.

Speaker 5 (57:37):
And the weird thing about my father in laws that
like he and I really couldn't communicate real well because
he had his stroke and so he couldn't talk that much.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
He could talk, he's you know, So it was weird.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
The light hits your face, everyone looks at you have
a little tear there. It's either a tear triper litter one.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Of the time. No, the light hits my face, I
have bags under my eyes that are just but it
looks like I have this eye has been itching tonight
and occasionally have been rubbing it. I did you feel
better today? A little bit? A little bit? And I
and and and a friend of mine, who what did

(58:11):
you just say?

Speaker 2 (58:12):
Pig guy?

Speaker 1 (58:12):
No brown eye?

Speaker 2 (58:14):
So brown.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Guy. The a friend had heard the podcast and said, wait, Dan,
this big into supplements and knows and UH said that
because I said glutamine and I didn't know how to
spell it. So I put a sp because I'm an idiot,
and I didn't feel like I didn't have time to
go look up. And this person said, yeah, great, great
stuff and all about supplements too, and blah blah blah.

Speaker 7 (58:42):
So I know all one for every letter, even.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Play. I have to say something real quick about Kevin. Uh,
when you look at things and then maybe it's because
my dad recently passed. He is that you're a hell
of a dad, dude, And I mean that you're a
hell of a dad. You do a great job with
those kids, You're at all that hockey stuff and this
last trip with your and I know that that your
oldest son decided not to go, but certainly the door

(59:12):
was open I think.

Speaker 7 (59:13):
Funny story with that too. I'll play in a minute.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
But the but you know, and then your youngest son
got Ei. There were pictures of him in the cockpit
of the plane, and I go, you you really are.
Even my mom after she met, goes boy, he's a
he sounds like he's a great dad. I got he
is he is?

Speaker 7 (59:27):
And I think fantastic actor one of the two.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Either way, I don't know, but that's uh, you know,
it's a hell of a trip and a and a
big thing. And maybe only because I'm feeling slightly sentimental,
but I always think sometimes I shouldn't say that. I
shouldn't say that, And I think, in my head, no,
say it. Fuck it. I didn't say it. Say it.
I think it's pretty awesome what you do.

Speaker 7 (59:49):
So when's that? We get a phone call from Sam.
We're down to do whatever we're doing, and he's the
oldest Carrie's phone rings Sam. Something something wrong.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
It's like it's Dad, got Keith, my buddy, Keith. Dad
got Keith checking in on me. His car is out front?
Why is he out front? I keep walking around the
house looking for him. I figure he's in the garage
drinking or he's in the pool or where is he tide?

Speaker 7 (01:00:14):

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
I'm like, all right, I this was originally done by
Elvis Cattstell. I'm certain of that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
God might have been done before Elvis.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
I think somebody else did it really? Okay, well that's possible.
I didn't even.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
See this version.

Speaker 5 (01:11:44):

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
Is she really going out with him?

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):

The original was Joe jack Joe Jackson. Yeah. And then
did Elvis do it? Does? I say, Joe Jackson that's right,
you're surely yeah, not that Elvis.

Speaker 4 (01:12:07):
No, no, Elvis gotta sell Yeah. And then I said

I thought, okay, well you know what, it doesn't matter
because you're not getting points for that. Okay, Okay, I'm
just saying, would you like me to tell you.

Speaker 5 (01:12:54):
Well, if Danny's got let's see if he's waiting with

Wow, God damn, that was good. I put Perfect Day.
I did not have Collective Soul. I did not have
pop with Pat Money. And I didn't snap Pat Monaghan. Okay,
it didn't sound like Pat Montahan.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
That was great, I said, nineteen ninety seven. I love

Yello was supposed to come to Rochester in two thousand
and one, and they handled the show because.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
To change when nobody bought tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
Nobody bought tickets, so they got to cancel the show.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):

a very Paul McCartney and wings sound to it.

To me, I don't know if that's accurate or not,
but it feels that way to me. Good stuff, Cat,
very nice. Congratulations keeps the Benner hanging. That's kept the
competitive though you did, I kept the competitive. I think.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
Yeah, Like I had Sue's uh listener text me uh
that he hates this thing.

Speaker 4 (01:17:08):
It's the only place you can go in the world
to pay one hundred and seventy five dollars to go
in and spend a thousand. You got to pay to
go in and spend a thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
Yeah, it's amazing, it's amazing. What is the one seventy five.
I don't even make it to get in the door.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Oh shit, yeah yeah, and then he get in there
and you just spend, spend and spend and spend.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
No, just did you stay on promise?

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
Yeah? It's another nice thing too.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
Yeah, it was nice.

Speaker 7 (01:17:33):
All food was included.

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
So he calls me. I'm in the hospice and my
brother walks in. He goes, he get the phone and
I go Kevin, and his brother starts shitting on the hotel.
He goes, uh, I said you staying, So I have
him on a speaker. I go, are you staying in
on premise? He goes yeah, and he names the place,
and my brother goes, oh, that's a value. But wait,
he's just he was just fucking around. I just thought

(01:17:54):
that funny, by the way, that I don't give a ship.
It's still a room. Oh yeah. But it's so expensive.
It's so expensive, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:18:05):
I mean even the time share we had was I
liked better because A you weren't on premise, so we
had our car. Parking, you could have grocery. Even parking
is crazy now I passed it. It's thirty bucks to
park at.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
The park, just a park. Yeah, there were times that
it went down. We drive to Virginia and put the
car on the car train and go down. So that
way you had your own car.

Speaker 6 (01:18:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
And it was fun for the kids, right, a little
bit of an adventure and a little bit cheaper, uh
economically speaking. And then uh yeah, but then you were
paying the park.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
Well, they used to have buses at the airport that
would take you right to the place for free. That's
not a thing anymore, so we hadn't. I ended up
getting a car service. It's a smart move. And the
guy is nice hat by the way, I just saw it,
and they you know, let's you stop at publics. You
could put it in the card order in a picture
up or you got twenty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
To go to the store. So we were you there.
Do you mind you said that you use somebody to
help plan this. Yeah, I'm gonna have her come in
with these. Do you want to just say who it is? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Christina?

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Christina.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
I don't know if she goes by her maiden name
is Autry, but I think she still goes by her
married name Rothlus.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
Okay, And does she work independently? She does decide? Yeah, yeah,
that's great. Well, if you can find somebody like that,
because that that's a lot of work setting those trips up.

Speaker 4 (01:19:17):
And that's what we were talking about. I was talking
about my buddy Keith last night. He's like, you, why'd
you go with somebody? Because that way I know, if
I'm going to New York City, I know what I'm getting.
I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna
go here, I'm gonna stay here. Is Hey, there's so
many different nuances and stuff you don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
I agree with you problem.

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
At the last second, like a late night thing that
we could go to from like nine to midnight in
one of the parks where they reduce the size of
the ticket, so you have to pay it. It's extra
to get in, but you're in there with a thousand
people versus five thousand. Yea, but yes, okay, so it
reduces the lines and stuff she can get on stuff. Yeah,
they give your free drinks and popcorn and ice cream

(01:19:57):
and stuff with it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
So I always wanted to be so rich to Disney
because I remember seeing some celebrity and I forget who was,
and they had an escort with them, and the escort
would get them in front of the lines of everything,
and that's you pay like three fifty to five hundred
a day. I think maybe more now I looked at it.

Speaker 7 (01:20:17):
I think it was like six hundred, and I want
to say it was six hundred an hour.

Speaker 4 (01:20:23):
An hour something. That was some crazy number. Fuck, they
take you wherever you want to go, you don't wait.

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
But I thought it used to be. Man, maybe it
was five an hour. I always thought it was a day.
But no, no, no, no, you're right. I think it
was an hour because I think it added out to
like a couple of thousand.

Speaker 7 (01:20:41):
It was like three grand.

Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes way more sense.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
And like they have, you know, buses from the hotels.
But I'm like they spoiled us when we got there
because our room wasn't ready. Yeah, sort of like we've
made you wait. We're not going to make you wait tomorrow.
We're going to give you an uber ride to the
park from the hotel.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Yeah, so they're all about hospitality.

Speaker 4 (01:20:58):
We took the bus back and the bus socks, so
I ended up spending an extra two hundred bucks just
using lift Yah to go from the hotel to where
her hotel. We were going to dinner at or whatever
Parker are going to.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Yeah, but it was worth it, right. I think you
made great memories. That's what it's all about. With the
kids and stuff too. Danny ever been to Disney when
I was ten? Yeah? Would you have Beth ever go?
I know, couples, I don't know if.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
Yeah, yeah, she goes.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
I don't know if she goes. She gotta go.

Speaker 7 (01:21:29):
She wants to go.

Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
And what if you took it like your nieces and
nephew someday?

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
Yeah, my brother took his kids.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
They loved it.

Speaker 7 (01:21:36):
When Danny's heart takes a turn, he can make a wish.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
That was the one thing too.

Speaker 4 (01:21:42):
We were in line to meet one of the characters
and we were like, every like twenty five minutes or so,
they they have to go look for honey or whatever
with Winnie the Pooh and they bring somebody new out
because it's so hot in the costumes. They come go
away fro find us. So we went through two sets
of people coming in and out. We were the next
people on line and all of a sudden, I'm walking

(01:22:03):
They're like.

Speaker 7 (01:22:04):
Did you guys mind if the make a wish?

Speaker 1 (01:22:06):
Family jumped on.

Speaker 4 (01:22:10):
The comedy, be like, what's the kid fucking dying? Yeah,
like I need I need to know what the kids dying.
You have your curby your enthusiasm moment.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
Does he have cancer?

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
Is it just you know? Is he broke?

Speaker 5 (01:22:23):
It's funny how Make a Wish has gotten this reputation
with these kids now of actually like people like actually
despise these people.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
That's not fair. I understand that, I hear you. I understand,
but that's got playing Jerry Lewis and that fucking telethon.
My favorite thing was Sam Kennison when he brought out
a little day. Hey, you were one of Jerry's kids? Yeah,
how'd you get a fucking thang? You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (01:22:50):
And that's where I.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
Think people started to question. Maybe I'm wrong, but I
think they do. And the Make a Wish is I
think a wonderful thing. But Tyler definitely looked at me.
You wanted to say no to.

Speaker 8 (01:23:03):
It?

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
How long did you wait?

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
That's that's tremendous that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:06):
We're trying to check in and we get this kid.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
I'm very confident he had a touch of the tism
because he's like just our room was ready so he's
just bagging through his iPad trying to figure out what's
going on, throwing ship, took a pen, bent the Son
of a Bitch in half, like it was one of
those spring things that you used to work out with,
flipped out is walked away. The desk manager just, yeah,

(01:23:32):
Billy's having a little bit of an issue right now.
We're gonna we're gonna see if we can calm him
down and get you into your room.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
Here I'm getting texted, guys. Tyler's standing next to me.
He's texting me.

Speaker 7 (01:23:42):
He's like, oh man, what's wrong with Billy?

Speaker 5 (01:23:47):
By the way, speaking of like, you know, Hull Cogan
passed away at Disney, right, So when Hulk Cogan after
he does his heel turn in w c W, they
used to tape Monday nightro at MGM Studios in Orlando,
Eric Bishop, that was a thing. So Hogan takes the
first Monday off. The next Monday he's back and he's
in black and everybody hates him. Right, so they're it,
but they're at Disney. So he comes out with the

(01:24:08):
ed WO and they're all in they're black, and everyone's booming,
and there's this you can watch the video, there's this
family of five and Winny the Pooh shirts yelling and
swearing at Hulk Hogan and winning.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
The Pooh shirts like at Disney. It's it's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
Boo you suck get out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
But they're all weird, like Winny the Pooh like shirts,
a matching family of five. I just think it's hilarious.
This very yelling at Hulk Cogin.

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
That is very funny. All right, Well, welcome back Kevin
