1
00:00:00,066 --> 00:00:01,468
All right, all right.

2
00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:04,904
Episode 138 FeenEy talks with friends.

3
00:00:04,904 --> 00:00:05,438
Wait.

4
00:00:05,438 --> 00:00:07,941
Or should I say Fuchs talks with friends?

5
00:00:07,941 --> 00:00:08,675
This is your show.

6
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:09,109
I'm just.

7
00:00:09,109 --> 00:00:11,378
I'm just here, and I'm honored to be here.

8
00:00:11,378 --> 00:00:13,146
Is it friends of Fuchs today?

9
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:16,116
So we actually,

10
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:19,185
there was a recommendation
for a promotion in the office

11
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:23,790
where they wanted to do friends of friends
on Facebook, and I said, absolutely not.

12
00:00:23,823 --> 00:00:26,092
They're like, why? We love
this is great in the restaurant.

13
00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:29,696
Under no circumstances am I going
to be associated that closely with Feeney.

14
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:32,165
Give me some some degrees of separation.

15
00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:34,034
So we are on the defensive.

16
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:36,202
Gotcha, gotcha, So here we are.

17
00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:37,470
Feeney talks with friends.

18
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:40,473
We're going to talk everything
from financial advising

19
00:00:40,473 --> 00:00:43,877
to basketball 
to the JCC and everywhere in between.

20
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:45,678
I'm really looking forward to it again.

21
00:00:45,678 --> 00:00:48,381
My name is Eric Feeney,
founder and president, Friends of Feeney.

22
00:00:48,381 --> 00:00:49,149
Our mission is to help

23
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:52,152
children and families that need assistance
after heartbreak or tragedy.

24
00:00:52,285 --> 00:00:53,653
And I use this podcast.

25
00:00:53,653 --> 00:00:55,188
Feeney talks with friends,

26
00:00:55,188 --> 00:00:58,224
and I talk to a wonderful people in
the community that are doing great things.

27
00:00:58,558 --> 00:00:59,426
And Ben, you all right?

28
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,861
You you doing all right?

29
00:01:01,861 --> 00:01:04,431
Here's what's coming for you.
I'll be honest. I can see it all.

30
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:05,131
So first

31
00:01:05,131 --> 00:01:08,501
let it be known that on camera, on mic,
this is the first words of praise

32
00:01:08,501 --> 00:01:09,702
that I've ever been given.

33
00:01:09,702 --> 00:01:12,939
The first time I met you,
what I got was an elbow to yeah, I will

34
00:01:13,273 --> 00:01:15,275
I will take this as a thank you.

35
00:01:15,275 --> 00:01:17,410
Oh, we're going there already.

36
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:18,711
We're going to go with your show.

37
00:01:18,711 --> 00:01:20,013
I'm just I'm just to do it.

38
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:22,348
But I want to also shout out our last
episode.

39
00:01:22,348 --> 00:01:25,618
136 Cricket press.
We got a live backstage.

40
00:01:25,618 --> 00:01:26,920
How the printers work.

41
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,756
Greg was, family
small business of the year.

42
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:32,692
Do you need any manuals,
printer, notebooks?

43
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:34,994
Do you need pads? Envelopes?

44
00:01:34,994 --> 00:01:37,897
You should see Cricket press. It's
my guy on Park Road.

45
00:01:37,897 --> 00:01:39,732
Great podcast. Go back and check it out.

46
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:41,367
All right.

47
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:43,870
Fuchs. No, you brought it up.
That's hilarious.

48
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:45,805
I got
I got the email to will bring that up.

49
00:01:45,805 --> 00:01:47,774
2016.

50
00:01:47,774 --> 00:01:52,145
But the incident, the elbow incident
I, I know I have that was an incident.

51
00:01:52,145 --> 00:01:53,546
I just don't know.

52
00:01:53,546 --> 00:01:56,516
Oh I sent an apology and everything.

53
00:01:56,883 --> 00:01:57,350
Yeah.

54
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:59,419
I don't remember the apology.
I just remember the album.

55
00:01:59,419 --> 00:02:03,356
I, I may have seen Red for the first time,
but it's a good five.

56
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:04,757
Wait. You were.

57
00:02:04,757 --> 00:02:07,760
You're a man of the people that operates,

58
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:08,928
Cool.

59
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:11,364
So, as I recall,

60
00:02:11,364 --> 00:02:14,367
there were
we were up by like ten with 30s left

61
00:02:15,401 --> 00:02:16,970
and he has the ball coming. The paint.

62
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:20,673
I am, of course playing lax defense
because I know we got a win and tilted

63
00:02:21,007 --> 00:02:22,108
there was this elbow

64
00:02:22,108 --> 00:02:25,311
that like extended like
like dad's name and street Fighter right.

65
00:02:26,246 --> 00:02:28,481
The tall skinny do that use his arm
I like that.

66
00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:30,116
That was great analogy.

67
00:02:31,117 --> 00:02:33,953
And it just happened to connect cleanly.

68
00:02:33,953 --> 00:02:36,890
So if you have Poppy on the side,
you know why?

69
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,626
That one
I think that was the introduction.

70
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:40,527
That was.

71
00:02:40,527 --> 00:02:41,327
Yeah.

72
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:44,330
That's so funny, because I did
go back in my search history.

73
00:02:45,865 --> 00:02:48,835
January 28th, 2016

74
00:02:49,035 --> 00:02:52,038
regarding last play, Ben,

75
00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:55,942
I want to let you know there was never
any intention to get you in the mouth.

76
00:02:56,676 --> 00:02:59,445
I pump faked and leaned in to draw a foul.

77
00:02:59,445 --> 00:03:03,483
We were down eight and a four point
play would have been a great miracle.

78
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:05,685
People do it all the time.

79
00:03:05,685 --> 00:03:08,454
The ref should have called it two.

80
00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:10,590
With that said, I want to know.

81
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:11,424
I want you to know.

82
00:03:11,424 --> 00:03:15,428
After looking back on the play,
I reacted inappropriately and I apologize.

83
00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:17,030
My bad man.

84
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:19,966
I regret not checking with you
right after it happened.

85
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:21,834
You had every right to be pissed.

86
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:24,204
We exchanged words
in the heat of the moment.

87
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:26,673
I want to apologize and check in with you.

88
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:28,775
I hope you're feeling
better. This morning.

89
00:03:28,775 --> 00:03:30,777
Let me know, did I?

90
00:03:30,777 --> 00:03:32,278
And you did not respond?

91
00:03:32,278 --> 00:03:34,647
Well, let me just take this opportunity.

92
00:03:34,647 --> 00:03:35,949
No no no no.

93
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:37,951
Given up again.

94
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,420
I don't know how my jaw could have,

95
00:03:41,754 --> 00:03:44,757
but I apologize, but clearly was,

96
00:03:46,392 --> 00:03:47,227
Yep, yep.

97
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:50,163
And then so funny. Then in

98
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:51,598
oh wait, was that.

99
00:03:51,598 --> 00:03:55,435
Then almost a year later, January 26th,

100
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:58,605
2017.

101
00:04:00,273 --> 00:04:03,176
F you and your season high just after you.

102
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:07,146
It just as shocked you even hit one jumper
you made like five.

103
00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:08,982
Hashtag lucky.

104
00:04:08,982 --> 00:04:10,016
Was that new to me?

105
00:04:10,016 --> 00:04:12,652
That was me to you.
Oh well, then I'll take it.

106
00:04:12,652 --> 00:04:14,954
Got it. And you know what? That
that's a fair.

107
00:04:14,954 --> 00:04:16,990
That's a fair email.
Given that I didn't respond to you.

108
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:17,557
Yeah.

109
00:04:17,557 --> 00:04:20,126
Yeah, I think I remember
reading the first, you know,

110
00:04:20,126 --> 00:04:23,029
the one where you're apologizing.
I'm like,

111
00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:25,765
that was that was like, no.

112
00:04:25,765 --> 00:04:26,165
Nope.

113
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:30,270
Not today I do people
I feel like you really appreciate

114
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:32,505
the art of holding a grudge like I do.

115
00:04:32,505 --> 00:04:36,242
Because, you know, I feel like it's important to hold on to these things forever.

116
00:04:37,910 --> 00:04:40,079
But now, you know, I'm here on camera.

117
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:42,682
Yeah. Yep. But, Thank you.

118
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:45,852
Nine years is a long time
to think on this.

119
00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:47,487
Meditate.

120
00:04:47,487 --> 00:04:49,355
Do you accept my apology?

121
00:04:49,355 --> 00:04:52,091
Accepted. Accept this apology.

122
00:04:52,091 --> 00:04:55,094
You're a good friend, Fuchs.

123
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:57,163
Well, maybe get back to some JC.

124
00:04:57,163 --> 00:04:59,966
But, again,
thank you for being a good friend.

125
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:02,635
I'm truly honored to speak with you today.

126
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:06,072
You, Fuchs
financial has generously supported

127
00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:08,141
our golf tournament two years in a row.

128
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:10,777
You're an exclusive hole sponsor.

129
00:05:10,777 --> 00:05:12,645
So two years in a row,
you'll see the Fuchs.

130
00:05:12,645 --> 00:05:13,846
You have the entire hole.

131
00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:16,582
So feel free to set up a table,
bring some swag.

132
00:05:16,582 --> 00:05:18,651
It is your whole.
But for two years in a row.

133
00:05:18,651 --> 00:05:19,719
So thank you so much.

134
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:22,021
Truly means the world to our nonprofit.

135
00:05:22,021 --> 00:05:24,891
Can you golf you cannot have a no

136
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:28,061
is like I consider myself relative.

137
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:30,496
Like I wouldn't consider myself
a real athlete.

138
00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:33,499
They're real athletes out there
that played Division one or something

139
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:34,267
like that.

140
00:05:34,267 --> 00:05:36,803
But I was good enough to be like varsity
in a couple of sports.

141
00:05:36,803 --> 00:05:38,638
I played football in tennis.

142
00:05:39,972 --> 00:05:41,040
Golf is a thing.

143
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,345
I think, but I would rather fight
a grizzly bear than pick up clubs and go,

144
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:48,981
no, know. It's challenging. It's not easy.

145
00:05:48,981 --> 00:05:54,087
It's definitely, 
a mechanical, very mental, physical game.

146
00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:57,790
You know, in basketball,
if you can't shoot, you can rebound.

147
00:05:57,924 --> 00:06:02,128
Or if you can't rebound, you could play D
or you could dive on the floor.

148
00:06:02,161 --> 00:06:04,330
You could, you know,
there's always there's a niche.

149
00:06:04,330 --> 00:06:08,034
I feel like golf I don't know,
maybe it could be a good putter

150
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:09,736
driver and mid-range game.

151
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:13,005
But it's point being it's hard to say.

152
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:15,508
You're a golfer.
You say I golf two weekends in a row.

153
00:06:15,508 --> 00:06:15,842
Actually.

154
00:06:15,842 --> 00:06:19,512
Hawks landing in, Southington
with my old college roommate.

155
00:06:20,146 --> 00:06:22,915
So it was a good time, but we'll have it.

156
00:06:22,915 --> 00:06:24,217
We're having our fourth

157
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:28,521
annual Friends of Fini golf tournament
at Tunc this September 13th.

158
00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:29,522
Save the date.

159
00:06:29,522 --> 00:06:30,656
We're looking for sponsors.

160
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:32,759
I want to thank Fuchs again.

161
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,228
Your neighbor of your building in West
Hartford.

162
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:38,097
Golf is going to be a swag sponsor.

163
00:06:38,097 --> 00:06:38,965
You heard of her? Yeah.

164
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:40,400
I don't know if you've seen around.

165
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,602
No, no, but she come by it all.

166
00:06:42,602 --> 00:06:47,473
We we like we'll see each other like, two
and from one, the elevator.

167
00:06:47,473 --> 00:06:50,209
And that's about like,
you know, friendly interactions.

168
00:06:50,209 --> 00:06:53,079
Nothing negative to say,
but just not a lot of interaction.

169
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:53,946
And that's,

170
00:06:53,946 --> 00:06:57,383
you know, we don't really cross paths
and yeah, when you get in a billboard,

171
00:06:59,652 --> 00:07:03,423
so there was an offer, there's a guy
that,

172
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:08,694
that, super nice
guy who does some of my marketing with me

173
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:11,497
and he said, I will pay for your billboard

174
00:07:11,497 --> 00:07:13,266
if we can put your last name on there
and say,

175
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:14,934
does it revives your future with you?

176
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:17,804
Oh, and I said, that's tempting.

177
00:07:17,804 --> 00:07:19,405
I'm going to pass.

178
00:07:19,405 --> 00:07:22,108
So, I don't have a billboard,

179
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:25,111
but I hope there's
your via Fuchs with you.

180
00:07:25,344 --> 00:07:27,079
I will just leave that to golf.

181
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:28,881
She has.

182
00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:32,151
Yeah, she's she's everywhere
and she's very

183
00:07:33,352 --> 00:07:33,986
careful also.

184
00:07:33,986 --> 00:07:37,790
So when you talk about the fourth year
running, the charity golf,

185
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:41,661
I mean, it seems like your organization
has been able to expand

186
00:07:42,028 --> 00:07:42,962
like you, over the years.

187
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,030
They're like a,

188
00:07:44,030 --> 00:07:47,500
like how many people you've been able
to help like 2020 versus 2025?

189
00:07:47,767 --> 00:07:48,367
Yeah.

190
00:07:48,367 --> 00:07:50,403
Yeah I mean I don't know.

191
00:07:50,403 --> 00:07:52,572
So I know please.

192
00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:54,440
That's great. Great question.
Thanks for asking.

193
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,676
I think I'm not exactly sure.

194
00:07:56,676 --> 00:08:00,546
I know Covid was slow,
but just this month actually,

195
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,650
since 2025 started,
we've already helped 20 families.

196
00:08:05,117 --> 00:08:07,787
We just hit our hundredth family.

197
00:08:07,787 --> 00:08:09,055
So we're very excited.

198
00:08:09,055 --> 00:08:14,694
We've raised over $250,000
and we just helped our hundredth family.

199
00:08:14,694 --> 00:08:18,397
So what what big do you,
Fuchs with that guy?

200
00:08:18,397 --> 00:08:20,566
Well, a hundredth family at

201
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,169
our funeral.

202
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:23,936
What does that mean?

203
00:08:23,936 --> 00:08:26,939
Like you say,
like I help this family, like. Yep.

204
00:08:27,206 --> 00:08:29,775
So our word of mouth is getting around
so well

205
00:08:29,775 --> 00:08:33,779
that people submit to our email
or to our website page.

206
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:38,484
And, we have a donation donation
request form where someone would fill out

207
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:41,420
their information,
the family's information,

208
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:44,357
the issue or need or medical support.

209
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:47,326
And then how much youth
they think that would help.

210
00:08:47,326 --> 00:08:48,628
We meet on the board.

211
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:51,697
The board of directors meet twice a week,
every every other Thursday,

212
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:55,434
and we discuss future events
and some donations. So.

213
00:08:55,434 --> 00:08:59,839
And we we've never said no, we've said
no, actually to a family in Florida.

214
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:02,575
It was out of our local.
We're a local charity.

215
00:09:02,575 --> 00:09:03,643
We wish we could have helped.

216
00:09:03,643 --> 00:09:05,845
It was a hurricane, issue in Florida.

217
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:10,016
But, but that family
that's heard of us in Connecticut,

218
00:09:10,016 --> 00:09:13,019
we wanted to help their brother
in Florida.

219
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:14,453
Unfortunately, we could not.

220
00:09:14,453 --> 00:09:19,125
But we are helping anywhere from,
you know, Hartford to Waterbury

221
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:20,226
and everywhere in between.

222
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:23,062
A lot most a lot of families
come from West Hartford.

223
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:25,531
We just help the family.

224
00:09:25,531 --> 00:09:27,266
Unfortunately, someone passed away.

225
00:09:28,734 --> 00:09:31,571
A family is having cancer.

226
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:34,574
The woman works at a pizza place
at the local in town.

227
00:09:35,041 --> 00:09:36,309
Who else do we help?

228
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:37,910
My good friend from high school.

229
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,946
His house burnt down. Louie.

230
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:41,647
Thinking of Louis. Great guy.

231
00:09:41,647 --> 00:09:44,750
We just helped him with a check
in donations of Amazon

232
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:47,753
supplies, like cleaning products
and stuff like that.

233
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,222
But, just trying to help as many people
as you can.

234
00:09:50,222 --> 00:09:51,591
I'm very fortunate, you know?

235
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:55,227
Teacher, happy career and great job.

236
00:09:55,494 --> 00:09:57,363
I've been helping students
inside the classroom.

237
00:09:57,363 --> 00:09:59,799
Always want to try
to help them outside the classroom.

238
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:02,768
It's it's a good,

239
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:04,904
And models
appropriate behavior to my daughters.

240
00:10:04,904 --> 00:10:07,139
You know, we're we're helping others.

241
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:08,441
So I like to do that.

242
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,643
I'm from a divorce family,
so I knew how it was

243
00:10:10,643 --> 00:10:12,511
not to see my dad every once in a while.

244
00:10:12,511 --> 00:10:14,513
I could never imagine
never seeing him again.

245
00:10:14,513 --> 00:10:17,883
So I empathize with that
first family that that that happened.

246
00:10:19,819 --> 00:10:20,052
Yeah.

247
00:10:20,052 --> 00:10:20,486
Just.

248
00:10:20,486 --> 00:10:24,624
And then we're working in the community, 
collaborating with wonderful people like

249
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:28,394
Direct Line media, like maximum leverage,
like Fuchs Financial.

250
00:10:28,394 --> 00:10:33,165
So great people in the community,
has really bought into our, our mission

251
00:10:33,165 --> 00:10:37,903
and our goals and helping us out are
are you talking about progress and growth?

252
00:10:37,903 --> 00:10:40,806
Our golf tournament, first year, 10,000.

253
00:10:40,806 --> 00:10:43,976
Second year 18,000, I think 25,000.

254
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:47,680
So the goal this year
30,000 plus, we're already on our way.

255
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,650
So we have gotten
a lot more sponsors so far.

256
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:53,886
So yeah, thanks again for being exclusive

257
00:10:54,387 --> 00:10:56,922
whole sponsor.

258
00:10:56,922 --> 00:10:58,290
And you brought up a book.

259
00:10:58,290 --> 00:11:00,926
Golf book was a podcast.

You guys, maybe you should do it.
I know you got you got on.

262
00:11:07,633 --> 00:11:10,036
Not the numbers.
Yeah. No. Do you need a job?

263
00:11:10,036 --> 00:11:12,872
Okay. Can you, can I itchy.

264
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:15,508
Yeah. I didn't get that
fresh tag at that fresh tea.

265
00:11:17,977 --> 00:11:20,446
Yeah, I got the sponsor, you know.

266
00:11:20,446 --> 00:11:23,449
JK, where it all happened.

267
00:11:23,649 --> 00:11:26,652
I mean, you know,
after hearing about everything, you do it,

268
00:11:26,652 --> 00:11:29,655
it almost, almost makes me go back.

269
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:34,226
On our one on one day.

270
00:11:34,226 --> 00:11:38,264
Have we ever had conversations
about the lead up to the do tell?

271
00:11:38,297 --> 00:11:39,765
Like, do you want to go through?

272
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:41,367
You have the family of people

273
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:44,870
like what you said that inspire
this great one on one up that we had?

274
00:11:45,237 --> 00:11:48,207
I mean, as a third grade teacher,
I told you to bring show and tell.

275
00:11:48,407 --> 00:11:50,576
Okay, so, show and tell.

276
00:11:50,576 --> 00:11:53,379
If you could have had the trophy right
now. Yes.

277
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:56,382
Okay, maybe we'll pull up a picture.

278
00:11:56,415 --> 00:11:57,383
You might have a picture.

279
00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:59,985
I might have a picture time.
I have a picture.

280
00:11:59,985 --> 00:12:02,788
I burnt all those pictures. So.

281
00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:03,989
So you start. Go ahead.

282
00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:05,591
What do you remember?

283
00:12:05,591 --> 00:12:08,027
And I don't have the tax
I didn't go through this year.

284
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:09,562
I'm just going to go straight
from memory here.

285
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:12,865
But there was
a there was a text message to

286
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:17,136
the Eric and I, our product right where,

287
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:20,706
he may have been running his mouth
or sometimes I do.

288
00:12:20,706 --> 00:12:23,242
Well, I could be type three.

289
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:24,944
I could do rebellion, whatever I could.

290
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:27,646
I was really,
I could destroy chips in the post.

291
00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:30,216
And I took exception to that.

292
00:12:30,216 --> 00:12:31,584
Now, granted, it was during Covid.

293
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:33,319
Nobody had anything else to do.

294
00:12:33,319 --> 00:12:35,921
So became this big, like mash up.

295
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:39,024
We both, by the way,
we messed up for two weeks ahead of time.

296
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:42,361
We both tested before the
all the things that we needed to do.

297
00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:44,764
Covid friendly ish.

298
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:47,767
We had our own bubbles right. Yep.

299
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:49,802
I may have seen some Iraqi

300
00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:53,706
training videos, but it was the first time
my wife failed me jumping rope in.

301
00:12:53,739 --> 00:12:54,473
Last time I.

302
00:12:56,642 --> 00:12:58,811
And so we set that

303
00:12:58,811 --> 00:13:01,881
up to schedule a time and Shapiro Dave

304
00:13:01,881 --> 00:13:04,884
Shapiro was like, why don't you come over
and practice first?

305
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:06,452
Because I don't think I picked up a ball.

306
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:08,554
And you heard he he hired a trainer.

307
00:13:08,554 --> 00:13:11,557
But go ahead, continue the day

308
00:13:12,758 --> 00:13:14,593
I shot in his driveway

309
00:13:14,593 --> 00:13:17,530
before going to somebody else's yard.

310
00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:20,399
And after a Dave, shall we take like,
four jump shots?

311
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:22,168
He's like,
if you do that during the game, I'm

312
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:24,703
going to come down there
and punch you in the face. Yep.

313
00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:25,938
And I said, really?

314
00:13:25,938 --> 00:13:28,941
He's like, absolutely, you can't lose this

315
00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:30,943
or that okay.

316
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:33,546
And I don't
I think like I wasn't all that nervous,

317
00:13:33,546 --> 00:13:37,750
but Dave was nervous for me
because I had lost to the amount of,

318
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:42,755
for the rest of my
it might be more than anyone.

319
00:13:42,755 --> 00:13:44,223
I would have made t shirts.

320
00:13:44,223 --> 00:13:45,991
I would have made t shirts.

321
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:48,494
We'd be talking a totally different way.

322
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:49,228
I would have started off.

323
00:13:49,228 --> 00:13:52,464
I remember when I remember
when I beat you,

324
00:13:53,032 --> 00:13:57,937
it was about 11 to 5, give or take.

325
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:02,842
And not knowing this,
you might have gotten to

326
00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:07,346
you. You
did back me down, but not realizing

327
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:10,382
you got two inches on me and maybe

328
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:14,053
50 pounds 40 pounds made easy.

329
00:14:14,053 --> 00:14:17,389
So you two 4250 was

330
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:20,693
I want to say so

331
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:24,096
before Covid, I was like to 25 to 230.

332
00:14:24,096 --> 00:14:25,297
Okay.

333
00:14:25,297 --> 00:14:27,600
At that point during Covid,
I was probably back and forth.

334
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,467
Okay.

335
00:14:28,467 --> 00:14:31,737
Right now, about 245 solid muscle,
all steel, all steel,

336
00:14:31,737 --> 00:14:34,740
all steel.

337
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:36,375
The cameras from from the neck.

338
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:37,743
Yes, yes.

339
00:14:37,743 --> 00:14:41,947
These cameras don't add
15 like TV cameras either, but no. Bad.

340
00:14:42,248 --> 00:14:43,616
And you bringing that up? You had to.

341
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:46,252
We're already there. Already?
How many minutes? In 20 minutes.

342
00:14:46,252 --> 00:14:48,487
He's bringing in the

343
00:14:48,487 --> 00:14:50,055
Feeney versus Fuchs.

344
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:52,124
There was a trophy made.

345
00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:53,092
There was a trophy made.

346
00:14:53,092 --> 00:14:55,294
Ty has the trophy.

347
00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:56,295
Maybe we'll get the.

348
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:58,464
We'll put the trophy right
here. I'll find it. Boom.

349
00:14:58,464 --> 00:15:00,799
I would have it on my shoulder
the entire time.

350
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:02,968
I would have worn
it around my neck like, oh,

351
00:15:04,436 --> 00:15:06,105
you know, so it's not a big deal.

352
00:15:06,105 --> 00:15:08,007
We played at near his house.

353
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:08,974
Never.

354
00:15:08,974 --> 00:15:10,442
Ty showed up.

355
00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:12,278
Was Billy there?

356
00:15:12,278 --> 00:15:13,913
And I remember, I remember.

357
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:15,347
So you hired a trainer one.

358
00:15:15,347 --> 00:15:17,116
And then you also brought a coach

359
00:15:17,116 --> 00:15:20,519
because Shapiro was like,
back them down, back them down.

360
00:15:20,886 --> 00:15:26,258
And it was just like grinding me out
boom, boom, boom, you know?

361
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:28,427
And I was just like you said,
you could take me in.

362
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:30,262
I 100% said it.

363
00:15:30,262 --> 00:15:32,031
I'm not going to take less and learn.

364
00:15:32,031 --> 00:15:33,465
Lesson learned.

365
00:15:33,465 --> 00:15:36,035
I thought you wanted a rematch.
I thought that was a whole.

366
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:39,171
We're going to Facebook
live, stream a rematch.

367
00:15:40,005 --> 00:15:43,375
I'm going to have to get like, Rocky five
and just start running

368
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:46,211
through the mountains
with a stick picker. Reverse. Rocky.

369
00:15:46,211 --> 00:15:49,214
That was machine gun, not on Drago.

370
00:15:50,082 --> 00:15:52,384
I just, did I messed that up? Yeah.

371
00:15:52,384 --> 00:15:53,485
Okay. That's okay.

372
00:15:53,485 --> 00:15:54,119
That's my favorite.

373
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:56,455
Rocky number five didn't exist.

374
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:59,959
So forget I mentioned that farm football.

375
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:01,327
No, that's my boat.

376
00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:04,897
But Rocky is like, you know,
my dad is a rabbi, my brother a rabbi.

377
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:08,067
But Rocky is pretty much like the Bible,
you know, much.

378
00:16:08,067 --> 00:16:11,971
So it's it's not holy for us
to see somebody in that so many times.

379
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,339
But yes, I love it.

380
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:15,774
That's what we
do. But, which one's your favorite

381
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:19,278
and why is it 3 or 4?

382
00:16:19,278 --> 00:16:20,045
Yeah.

383
00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:22,915
Amazing. Clubber Lang okay.

384
00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:26,452
Which is what I think I might have said to
before we started our one.

385
00:16:26,452 --> 00:16:27,820
I'm remember, that's one.

386
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:31,190
So I know what I can really enjoy.

387
00:16:31,623 --> 00:16:34,693
You know Rocky man.

388
00:16:35,461 --> 00:16:36,128
All right. You mentioned it.

389
00:16:36,128 --> 00:16:39,965
So, my favorite Rob
Rabbi is Stephen Chat.

390
00:16:39,965 --> 00:16:41,867
And over favorite rabbi.

391
00:16:41,867 --> 00:16:43,602
Who's your favorite rabbi?

392
00:16:43,602 --> 00:16:46,438
Okay, I'm hoping you were saying
that my brother is awesome.

393
00:16:46,438 --> 00:16:47,139
I mean, I would say

394
00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:50,409
my father and my brother, my whatever,
but on the basketball court,

395
00:16:51,343 --> 00:16:53,012
I like that numbers. Absolutely. There.

396
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:57,349
With also the exception being my father.

397
00:16:57,349 --> 00:17:00,386
So I don't know if you ever had
this experience.

398
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:05,190
My father, when we were play basketball,
basically did to me

399
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:09,395
what I did to you when I you mentioned
that to you one on one. So

400
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:11,397
things and my brother and I

401
00:17:11,397 --> 00:17:15,367
would call it the old, like, maneuver
and take the ball and turn around

402
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:18,837
and he was just like a mack truck
just beeping the entire time

403
00:17:19,338 --> 00:17:20,706
until right into the.

404
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:22,941
Welcome to my world.
For 11 points in a row.

405
00:17:22,941 --> 00:17:24,176
That's what I got.

406
00:17:24,176 --> 00:17:27,179
I was so.

407
00:17:27,579 --> 00:17:28,947
That way.

408
00:17:28,947 --> 00:17:30,082
Revisionist history.

409
00:17:30,082 --> 00:17:33,085
Is your podcast?

410
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:35,788
No. That I,

411
00:17:35,788 --> 00:17:37,156
So he was bigger than you.

412
00:17:37,156 --> 00:17:38,357
He he backed you down.

413
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:40,125
And then once I hit puberty, like

414
00:17:40,125 --> 00:17:41,894
there was no one like you wouldn't
pay me anymore.

415
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:42,661
And that was.

416
00:17:42,661 --> 00:17:46,565
So is that where you learned
the swinging left elbow hook square

417
00:17:47,032 --> 00:17:50,102
to clear out offensive foul line?

418
00:17:50,569 --> 00:17:52,838
I should have called that in his driveway.

419
00:17:52,838 --> 00:17:54,506
There was. No. I never hit you with that.

420
00:17:54,506 --> 00:17:58,911
When you hit me with the other, I
there was one time I was like, all right.

421
00:17:59,111 --> 00:18:01,413
And I looked like I checked with Coach
Shapiro.

422
00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:03,415
I'm like, I'm just going to hack them.

423
00:18:03,415 --> 00:18:05,851
If you're going to back me down, back,
just win.

424
00:18:05,851 --> 00:18:07,820
You know, really good hack.

425
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:10,789
He would have been probably a flagrant
in Nia's driveway.

426
00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:12,791
And and Shapiro was like, all right.

427
00:18:12,791 --> 00:18:15,928
But I'm like,
we can't do this 50 times in a row.

428
00:18:16,829 --> 00:18:19,331
Shapiro
said, I knew you were going to win.

429
00:18:19,331 --> 00:18:20,365
When he asked you.

430
00:18:23,368 --> 00:18:24,870
I remember him saying that.

431
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:25,971
That for you.

432
00:18:25,971 --> 00:18:27,139
Yeah, I that's that's okay.

433
00:18:27,139 --> 00:18:31,410
So I mean, you know, we
it was when I said, oh,

434
00:18:32,377 --> 00:18:35,981
when it comes to the guy, I mean,
if we're talking about basketball, I think

435
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:40,519
and I hate to ask this, but last season
you were a captain, right? Yep.

436
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:44,590
How would you rate your abilities
as a captain?

437
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:47,593
I mean, I don't measure, like,
you know, your team, the league, right?

438
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:50,529
Wow. I'm just asking questions.

439
00:18:50,529 --> 00:18:52,464
This is my podcast, remember?

440
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:54,600
Continue. I'm glad you brought this up.

441
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,768
No, I mean, like,
because I have the rosters.

442
00:18:56,768 --> 00:18:58,871
Oh, okay. Good. I deserve that all.

443
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:02,074
I feel like like it's important to
to make people human, right?

444
00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:05,077
Yeah. You know, Eric Peters is great.

445
00:19:05,277 --> 00:19:07,112
I mean, so we're okay.

446
00:19:07,112 --> 00:19:08,514
He's not perfect every time.

447
00:19:08,514 --> 00:19:11,216
No, no. Great example. All right. Agreed.

448
00:19:11,216 --> 00:19:13,519
Are we going to talk about
last season two or just this season?

449
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:16,355
The season was just how about.

450
00:19:16,355 --> 00:19:19,358
No. Okay. Just this

451
00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:20,692
we made.

452
00:19:20,692 --> 00:19:23,695
So you remember the last season
that was on a we were holding.

453
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:24,196
Yeah.

454
00:19:24,196 --> 00:19:26,965
Wait, you won two years in a row?

455
00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:30,769
I well, I don't want your season zero
to winters in a row.

456
00:19:31,603 --> 00:19:34,106
You won two winters in a row with Alexis.

457
00:19:34,106 --> 00:19:37,109
Both times with Alexis. Yes.

458
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:40,412
I and, I don't get to talk about myself
because I'm not.

459
00:19:40,612 --> 00:19:43,115
I'm not, but I didn't go ahead.

460
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:46,118
And did you have did you have game high

461
00:19:46,752 --> 00:19:49,721
19 season average, like four points
a game.

462
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:54,493
And I got 19 in that game
because that was the one game that my wife

463
00:19:54,493 --> 00:19:58,797
decided to to bring all the kids
and I like I didn't miss a shot.

464
00:19:58,797 --> 00:19:59,965
It was amazing.

465
00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:00,832
I played out of my mind.

466
00:20:00,832 --> 00:20:03,235
I was at about the very next game.

467
00:20:05,137 --> 00:20:06,238
So be it.

468
00:20:06,238 --> 00:20:07,472
Hey, but game on.

469
00:20:07,472 --> 00:20:10,242
The line versus tie.

470
00:20:10,242 --> 00:20:11,877
You hit back to back threes.

471
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:14,846
You hit a total of three threes.

472
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:18,383
I mean I didn't even know
you could spell the word three.

473
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:19,117
Yeah.

474
00:20:19,117 --> 00:20:24,356
And and you and you hit three threes and
they were nothing but net top of the key.

475
00:20:24,356 --> 00:20:27,659
Swish I was like you must have
said your prayers that morning. Yes.

476
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:30,862
Did your dad rabbi bless you that morning.

477
00:20:30,862 --> 00:20:33,131
We don't do the cross okay. That was bad.

478
00:20:33,131 --> 00:20:33,865
That was bad.

479
00:20:33,865 --> 00:20:36,301
I don't know if you know
how bad I can do the cross.

480
00:20:36,301 --> 00:20:40,239
But no, that's not because of that.

481
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:41,907
That was the best way.

482
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:42,774
Suspect to Jesus.

483
00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:44,109
But it just wouldn't be with this cross.

484
00:20:44,109 --> 00:20:47,446
I like to say that this. No,

485
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:49,081
no, no, no, this

486
00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:52,784
is just the nondenominational podcast
to get in trouble.

487
00:20:52,784 --> 00:20:56,622
Man, I few out here spewing
want to try to live that moment.

488
00:20:56,788 --> 00:20:58,523
So you can't get blessed.

489
00:20:58,523 --> 00:21:00,125
Be blessed is not.

490
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:03,695
So there is a blessing, that my father
would give to me every Friday.

491
00:21:04,196 --> 00:21:06,565
And I get to, like it.

492
00:21:06,565 --> 00:21:08,667
But that that just do

493
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:12,271
turn lights off
and no electricity for Shabbat, you know?

494
00:21:12,738 --> 00:21:14,373
Do you have the thing
built in your backyard

495
00:21:14,373 --> 00:21:17,376
that you go and eat,
like the the hot. Yep.

496
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:20,712
Yep. And we do build it.

497
00:21:20,712 --> 00:21:21,213
So that.

498
00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:25,083
How do they get out of here
and I like it's just an activity

499
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:28,120
where we can do something together to mean
basically the kids will, like,

500
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,889
look at me
as I'm doing all the work by myself.

501
00:21:30,889 --> 00:21:32,224
And then the three year olds

502
00:21:32,224 --> 00:21:34,793
who an not before
you will come over like steel nails.

503
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:36,628
I'm about to put in. Perfect.

504
00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:36,928
Yeah.

505
00:21:36,928 --> 00:21:39,498
You know, bonding, family
bonding at its best.

506
00:21:39,498 --> 00:21:42,100
They've definitely never heard me
say any words.

507
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:45,003
And, I, by the way,
I don't know if you know this about me.

508
00:21:45,003 --> 00:21:47,806
I'm not the construction
guy, but that's okay.

509
00:21:49,775 --> 00:21:51,777
So. No.

510
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:52,210
Did you.

511
00:21:52,210 --> 00:21:55,213
Did you know Rabbi means teacher?

512
00:21:57,449 --> 00:21:59,751
If if what you're getting to is.

513
00:21:59,751 --> 00:22:01,086
I know you want me to call you rabbi.

514
00:22:01,086 --> 00:22:05,057
You know,
I wasn't going that angle, but you.

515
00:22:06,425 --> 00:22:08,260
That'd be awesome.

516
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:10,128
Did you bring a kippah for me?

517
00:22:10,128 --> 00:22:14,299
I did not, because I, you know, listen,
everybody has their own interpretation.

518
00:22:14,299 --> 00:22:15,801
I think, like,

519
00:22:15,801 --> 00:22:18,236
people say, that they cover their head
when they're in the presence of God.

520
00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:21,506
And so they were like people when they go
to synagogue or something all the time.

521
00:22:21,907 --> 00:22:24,910
I would rather let
my ten year old be kind of my girl.

522
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:27,145
So I think it's important
to allow that to happen.

523
00:22:27,145 --> 00:22:29,748
So I don't cover it all. Yeah.

524
00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:33,985
Rabbi chatting over episode 54

525
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,089
was I wrote these down, actually,

526
00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:42,627
but it was really, I learned a lot
because he wears the kippah all the time.

527
00:22:42,627 --> 00:22:47,632
Obviously wears it on the court, wears
it to the grocery store, and he does that

528
00:22:47,632 --> 00:22:50,635
because when he's walking in an aisle

529
00:22:51,069 --> 00:22:53,905
and if someone sees him,

530
00:22:53,905 --> 00:22:58,076
they're more comfortable asking for help
because they know he's a rabbi

531
00:22:58,243 --> 00:23:03,582
or he's representing,
this culture in this religion for that's,

532
00:23:04,116 --> 00:23:07,119
you know, that's positive

533
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:09,221
to have.

534
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:10,255
They got eternal life.

535
00:23:10,255 --> 00:23:13,191
But I thought that was also true
of the number success.

536
00:23:13,191 --> 00:23:14,893
But let me not but yes.

537
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:15,527
So yeah.

538
00:23:15,527 --> 00:23:19,765
He said, and then my friend
Matt, former camp director, said,

539
00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:23,235
I found that so interesting
because Matt wears his too,

540
00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:25,370
and he didn't really realize
why he did it.

541
00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:28,373
But Rabbi, on my podcast exclusive

542
00:23:28,707 --> 00:23:31,610
allowed him to, you know, reflect and say,
oh, that's awesome.

543
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:32,878
That's why I wear my kippah.

544
00:23:32,878 --> 00:23:36,181
And if you're wearing a hat,
you don't have to wear it like you have

545
00:23:36,615 --> 00:23:39,985
in your heads covered, and you should
wear it while you're eating, right?

546
00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:41,720
No. Oh, you're not really big into that.

547
00:23:42,821 --> 00:23:44,823
Your dad

548
00:23:44,823 --> 00:23:46,024
hate to disappoint you.

549
00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:49,194
Yeah,
but I know my my feelings on religion,

550
00:23:50,328 --> 00:23:53,331
I care.

551
00:23:53,665 --> 00:23:54,733
That we're doing the right things.

552
00:23:54,733 --> 00:23:58,236
And I feel like as a Jew,
I feel like, you know, our goal

553
00:23:58,537 --> 00:24:01,239
is to try to make the world
a better place.

554
00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:03,041
And the people around me

555
00:24:03,041 --> 00:24:06,044
make sense, which is to.

556
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:08,613
And, you know,
I think that inherently that's,

557
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:09,915
you know, that's what we're here for.

558
00:24:09,915 --> 00:24:12,918
And I think a lot of the other stuff
as well, personally,

559
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:15,454
I think that sometimes
we use physical things

560
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:18,857
to remind us of what we think
and put on to keep our people right there.

561
00:24:18,857 --> 00:24:21,626
And, and I respect that.
And I think that's wonderful.

562
00:24:21,626 --> 00:24:23,161
Take anything away from that.

563
00:24:23,161 --> 00:24:24,896
It's just not where I am.

564
00:24:24,896 --> 00:24:28,400
And, you know, I give my kids
the framework of what I believe

565
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,968
and then you do what you want, right?

566
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:33,171
I'm not I don't want you to be
so unvaccinated into how I feel.

567
00:24:33,171 --> 00:24:35,474
I want you to think for yourself
and to are you.

568
00:24:35,474 --> 00:24:39,678
And I think so much of what I like about
Judaism is the question of,

569
00:24:39,678 --> 00:24:42,581
why are we doing this?
Why does this make sense?

570
00:24:42,581 --> 00:24:44,583
Does this make sense for me?

571
00:24:44,583 --> 00:24:46,885
And I think it's okay
to have those questions and to do it.

572
00:24:46,885 --> 00:24:47,285
Your life.

573
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:50,188
Awesome.

574
00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:53,191
Now you know the Venn diagram,
the two circles

575
00:24:53,225 --> 00:24:55,126
we have Rabbi Steve and your dad.

576
00:24:55,126 --> 00:24:56,094
Do they overlap?

577
00:24:56,094 --> 00:24:59,097
Do you see compare and contrast?

578
00:24:59,197 --> 00:25:01,199
Except when I was in high school,
there was.

579
00:25:01,199 --> 00:25:01,433
Yeah.

580
00:25:01,433 --> 00:25:04,469
So they were both teach classes there
and that was a big deal.

581
00:25:04,469 --> 00:25:08,640
But I don't like, you know,
they they, we I think a lot of times

582
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,443
you see more overlap in the rabbis
when they disagree.

583
00:25:11,443 --> 00:25:12,978
And so they, you see them get together

584
00:25:12,978 --> 00:25:14,913
because they're like,
you know, they doing their little debates.

585
00:25:14,913 --> 00:25:19,017
And, but I'm not a whole lot because

586
00:25:19,017 --> 00:25:22,287
John Lyons, he's like the local weatherman
on Facebook and stuff.

587
00:25:22,287 --> 00:25:22,654
You know, him.

588
00:25:22,654 --> 00:25:27,492
131 I think his daughter's
you don't feel great with the weather.

589
00:25:27,692 --> 00:25:32,831
131 the neighbors, friends and neighbors,
I think, his daughters did

590
00:25:34,099 --> 00:25:35,534
bat mitzvah,

591
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:38,637
but but with your dad,
I think he mentioned

592
00:25:38,637 --> 00:25:41,640
because I on the podcast 131
I go, hey, future guests.

593
00:25:42,007 --> 00:25:42,574
Fuchs.

594
00:25:42,574 --> 00:25:44,543
And he's like, oh, it's his dad, a rabbi.

595
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:45,877
And I was like, yes.

596
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:48,046
And he's like, I think my daughter's
connected with them. So.

597
00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:49,047
So not all the.

598
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:52,117
But the amazing thing about my father is
I just about anybody he's ever

599
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:56,221
before, he will still remember 2 or 3

600
00:25:56,521 --> 00:25:59,624
that he had them
remember to ask him about it.

601
00:26:00,158 --> 00:26:03,161
One, two, three, four
that he decades later.

602
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:06,264
So Aaron Goldman, had dinner
with the other night,

603
00:26:07,198 --> 00:26:09,801
in his mid 30s.

604
00:26:09,801 --> 00:26:11,603
He says the last time that I saw

605
00:26:11,603 --> 00:26:14,606
your dad on Facebook,
he asked me what some people were.

606
00:26:14,606 --> 00:26:15,874
It was like, you know,

607
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:19,210
and, you know, I still have to remember it
because he continues to ask, right.

608
00:26:19,611 --> 00:26:21,680
So that's awesome. I, I

609
00:26:22,647 --> 00:26:23,515
able but that's

610
00:26:23,515 --> 00:26:28,253
I you know, I respect
that is now what's you brought up Aaron.

611
00:26:28,653 --> 00:26:32,057
What's his plus minus
playing with Ty or playing without Ty.

612
00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:36,161
So I respect what you're trying to do.

613
00:26:36,161 --> 00:26:38,630
And so there's a thing called the West.

614
00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:41,900
And what you try to do is drive
a wedge between two teammates.

615
00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:47,339
And one of the ways that you do that
is asking, seemingly innocuous questions.

616
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:50,442
Okay, you can plead the fifth
because I have another question.

617
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:55,513
I would say that his
his shots per game are up and down.

618
00:26:55,513 --> 00:26:57,415
He scored 14 I think it was last year.

619
00:26:57,415 --> 00:27:00,652
And, you know, technically

620
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:03,655
a lot of shots
that people would choose to pass.

621
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:04,923
Passers by.

622
00:27:04,923 --> 00:27:06,691
Oh, yes.
Oh, pass first. You heard it here.

623
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:09,094
What minute are we for?

624
00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:10,328
The pass first.

625
00:27:10,328 --> 00:27:13,231
What about that?

626
00:27:13,231 --> 00:27:15,166
You know,

627
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:18,470
and so he creates I like he's,
I think it might be that he.

628
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:20,338
I think it might be that he.

629
00:27:20,338 --> 00:27:23,408
No. Amazing longevity camera bar.

630
00:27:23,441 --> 00:27:24,509
You ever go over there?

631
00:27:24,509 --> 00:27:27,512
Aaron's, family business.

632
00:27:27,545 --> 00:27:28,847
That's an amazing spot.

633
00:27:28,847 --> 00:27:30,315
We got our camera there.

634
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:32,217
My mother daughter camera there.

635
00:27:32,217 --> 00:27:33,885
Anybody that I ever know
that ever should buy

636
00:27:33,885 --> 00:27:36,021
a camera should buy it,
and then they know what they do.

637
00:27:36,021 --> 00:27:39,157
Yeah, I told him
I want to do a podcast with with them.

638
00:27:39,157 --> 00:27:42,060
They're. It's been there for 50 years.

639
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:45,163
It's like a staple
of the Hartford community about it. So I

640
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:49,601
and he showed me around
how like they do the bars

641
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:51,369
and the windows,
they used to welcome people in.

642
00:27:51,369 --> 00:27:52,537
That's why, I guess, what was Camera Bar?

643
00:27:52,537 --> 00:27:54,773
They used to like hang out,
not to drink or anything,

644
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:57,609
but like to hang out
and talk camera stuff.

645
00:27:57,609 --> 00:27:59,144
And then they had to do away with that.

646
00:27:59,144 --> 00:28:00,278
But just an amazing.

647
00:28:00,278 --> 00:28:02,213
And then all the older cameras,

648
00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:05,216
all the progression of the years of like
you could see the changes.

649
00:28:05,884 --> 00:28:06,384
Great guy.

650
00:28:06,384 --> 00:28:09,754
Great great, 
great family in Camera bar. Yes.

651
00:28:09,754 --> 00:28:11,222
Buy your cameras from the camera bar.

652
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:13,425
So we talked rabbis.

653
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:16,127
Oh, so you're a financial advisor?

654
00:28:16,127 --> 00:28:18,530
I teach third grade. Okay.

655
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:22,167
Can you explain being a financial advisor
to a third grader

656
00:28:23,835 --> 00:28:26,671
when somebody retires
and they stop working,

657
00:28:26,671 --> 00:28:29,674
they need to replace the money that

658
00:28:29,874 --> 00:28:32,844
help them
replace it with the investments that we

659
00:28:33,511 --> 00:28:35,280
boom.

660
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,815
Now, there's a lot that goes into that,
right?

661
00:28:36,815 --> 00:28:40,518
There's taxes and Social Security,
income planning and recessions

662
00:28:40,518 --> 00:28:43,521
and all of the things that people worry
about from an exaggerated standpoint.

663
00:28:44,155 --> 00:28:47,125
And our goal is to kind of take
that weight off of their shoulders

664
00:28:47,525 --> 00:28:50,095
and put it on ourselves,
because this is all the time.

665
00:28:50,095 --> 00:28:51,796
I mean, how can you get a paycheck

666
00:28:51,796 --> 00:28:52,897
and not have to worry about it

667
00:28:52,897 --> 00:28:55,333
and figure out
how to navigate all this stuff

668
00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:58,036
and then we show and we educate
like we'll take our word for it.

669
00:28:58,036 --> 00:29:01,339
I'm a big believer in like,
you know, being behind the curtain and

670
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,242
and here's what you have. Here's
why we're doing it.

671
00:29:04,242 --> 00:29:07,245
You have to agree with the boss
before you let us make money.

672
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:10,915
It's crazy because I have
people come to me with like,

673
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:12,717
rollover checks from here.

674
00:29:12,717 --> 00:29:15,620
Take this my friends up. This is what
I have to do when I become a client.

675
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:19,424
I said, hey, look like, let's like,
let's make sure you like us first.

676
00:29:19,557 --> 00:29:21,359
Let's let's have the conversation.

677
00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:24,262
But, that's what would be interesting.

678
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:26,731
All right. Financial advisor. So,

679
00:29:29,534 --> 00:29:30,602
Oh, I got some sponsors.

680
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:31,803
So let me shout out some spots.

681
00:29:31,803 --> 00:29:34,139
Keating agency float 41.

682
00:29:34,139 --> 00:29:38,009
Oh, the fix I've I meant to mention
before we played the fix the

683
00:29:39,043 --> 00:29:42,147
the Fuchs versus Feeney one on one
I went and got a fix.

684
00:29:42,147 --> 00:29:45,150
Remember I sent you the video on
I don't think I want anybody.

685
00:29:46,117 --> 00:29:49,120
It didn't work, but I felt great.

686
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:51,256
You know what? I did a 41 before that.

687
00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:54,259
Oh come on.

688
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:56,928
Did you eat a Luna pizza after I.

689
00:29:56,928 --> 00:29:59,931
No, said I.

690
00:30:00,431 --> 00:30:01,399
Golf law group,

691
00:30:01,399 --> 00:30:05,537
people's bank, Parkville management, West
Hartford lock maximum beverage and Sally

692
00:30:05,537 --> 00:30:09,307
and Bob's West Hartford lock did the locks
for my office and for my house.

693
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:12,243
And those people are the reason
they're great.

694
00:30:12,243 --> 00:30:16,648
Professor Eric Brown, Sock Breaker
episode 40.

695
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:19,184
If you're wondering
at home, that one I know

696
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:21,186
that one.

697
00:30:21,186 --> 00:30:24,189
I didn't have the right down.

698
00:30:24,355 --> 00:30:25,757
Louder, louder next time.

699
00:30:25,757 --> 00:30:27,926
Yeah. Eric Brown
and you're a great people.

700
00:30:27,926 --> 00:30:31,729
They run a golf tournament every year
at tumble Brook for their company,

701
00:30:31,729 --> 00:30:34,732
and they invite their friends
and, employees and,

702
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:38,069
clients,
and they do our little raffle and,

703
00:30:38,069 --> 00:30:39,804
whatever proceeds
they give to friends of Feeney.

704
00:30:39,804 --> 00:30:42,907
So thank you, Eric.
Great people with that.

705
00:30:43,374 --> 00:30:44,375
Yeah. You're coming.

706
00:30:44,375 --> 00:30:47,178
You, but I will,
I think I think what would be

707
00:30:47,178 --> 00:30:48,713
great has to do that charity one on one.

708
00:30:48,713 --> 00:30:51,416
And then maybe you should like,

709
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:53,651
bring somebody back and actually.

710
00:30:53,651 --> 00:30:56,154
Okay, okay,

711
00:30:56,154 --> 00:30:58,890
look, I'm
trying to get Brian Gomes on the podcast.

712
00:30:58,890 --> 00:30:59,457
Maybe I'll.

713
00:30:59,457 --> 00:31:01,693
Maybe I'll have him

714
00:31:01,693 --> 00:31:03,862
in your future studio.

715
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:05,897
Fuchs versus Feeney,

716
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:08,166
I so I'll tell you,
like, I started the company.

717
00:31:11,769 --> 00:31:14,305
And I

718
00:31:14,305 --> 00:31:17,275
to me, like, financial planning is

719
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:21,312
giving yourself
enough power to have control.

720
00:31:21,980 --> 00:31:23,581
You know, I,
I think that's really important.

721
00:31:23,581 --> 00:31:27,418
So if, if your boss is being a jerk

722
00:31:28,219 --> 00:31:31,322
and you realize that nobody
should listen to this person

723
00:31:32,123 --> 00:31:35,126
and you want to walk away, it's
knowing that you can actually walk away

724
00:31:35,126 --> 00:31:37,595
not having to be so demanding
that paycheck.

725
00:31:37,595 --> 00:31:38,496
That's right.

726
00:31:38,496 --> 00:31:41,099
I've got other options.
I can kind of just myself. Softball.

727
00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:44,869
I've got I'm comfy
and I have the ability to walk away.

728
00:31:46,938 --> 00:31:49,941
When I started, for example,
I was working for another company

729
00:31:50,441 --> 00:31:53,211
and my daughter is four

730
00:31:53,211 --> 00:31:55,346
and I was having a conversation.

731
00:31:55,346 --> 00:31:57,115
If you want to be,

732
00:31:57,115 --> 00:32:00,919
and he was talking to me in a way
that if he was talking to my daughter,

733
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,989
I hope that she would get a

734
00:32:04,989 --> 00:32:07,725
no matter how much money she was making,
what the circumstances

735
00:32:07,725 --> 00:32:10,728
were to have enough respect for herself

736
00:32:10,828 --> 00:32:13,364
to be able to get up and go.

737
00:32:13,364 --> 00:32:16,768
And when I had that thought,
my daughter was here, that I would be.

738
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:20,505
And I have to lead by my own example
and get up and go.

739
00:32:21,306 --> 00:32:25,710
And that was when I basically was like,
I'm not worth anybody else.

740
00:32:26,177 --> 00:32:28,346
I'm going to try this myself.

741
00:32:28,346 --> 00:32:31,349
I'm going to take the time,
throw it on the way.

742
00:32:32,216 --> 00:32:33,851
Very exciting stuff.

743
00:32:33,851 --> 00:32:35,987
A little bit terrified.

744
00:32:35,987 --> 00:32:38,189
And I started with April 2019,

745
00:32:38,189 --> 00:32:38,890
and the only way

746
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:41,960
that I was able to get in business,
because I was so afraid to do anything

747
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,963
that the other company didn't, I didn't
want to do anything that I wouldn't do.

748
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:47,398
I wouldn't do anything
the way that they did it.

749
00:32:47,398 --> 00:32:50,635
So I only did library workshops,
which I had never, ever done this on a

750
00:32:52,570 --> 00:32:54,238
great and all of a sudden,

751
00:32:54,238 --> 00:32:58,042
like, you know, typically takes two years
for business to break even for people.

752
00:32:58,109 --> 00:33:01,045
Nine months. Awesome.

753
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:05,149
And then, it was March of 2020 Covid hit.

754
00:33:05,283 --> 00:33:07,218
Couldn't do libraries anymore.

755
00:33:07,218 --> 00:33:08,686
I remember within the first library said,

756
00:33:08,686 --> 00:33:11,689
hey we can't have you come in
because we're closed.

757
00:33:11,689 --> 00:33:13,925
It's like, oh man,

758
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:15,026
what am I going to do?

759
00:33:15,026 --> 00:33:18,062
Because now the third one is anyway, so

760
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:22,000
oh man, I meant 2019.

761
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,003
Now I was just going to ask
and now you have Middletown,

762
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:28,740
West Hartford, Middlebury, mystic.

763
00:33:29,874 --> 00:33:31,743
That's awesome. You got an exclusive.

764
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,678
You got any other ones coming up?

765
00:33:33,678 --> 00:33:34,645
Oh. You want that?

766
00:33:34,645 --> 00:33:35,913
Come on, give me an exclusive.

767
00:33:35,913 --> 00:33:38,182
No, no, no we do.

768
00:33:38,182 --> 00:33:42,420
I was looking to extend it,
but I think what I'd like to do is

769
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:44,288
I feel like

770
00:33:44,288 --> 00:33:47,291
every other company
that I've been at or around,

771
00:33:47,725 --> 00:33:52,163
they always try to treat new people
better than they're going to be.

772
00:33:52,430 --> 00:33:53,831
Like. It's all.

773
00:33:53,831 --> 00:33:56,834
It's all about trying to acquire
new people and the mindset of what?

774
00:33:56,834 --> 00:33:59,904
Instead of taking care of the people
that have the mindset.

775
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:01,539
For me right now,
we just want to make sure

776
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:04,142
that we're taking excellent
care of the people that we already have.

777
00:34:04,142 --> 00:34:05,176
Right.

778
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:06,878
Mutual friend Jeff.

779
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:07,545
Right.

780
00:34:07,545 --> 00:34:10,248
Who does your taxes? Right.

781
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:13,017
Lucky to have him I would not the table
that I'd get in trouble.

782
00:34:13,017 --> 00:34:15,453
So I'm learning I'm not doing that

783
00:34:15,453 --> 00:34:19,190
but if it was brought on in January
this year so that we could do our clients

784
00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:23,194
taxes, us and for the majority of them
didn't charge anything

785
00:34:23,694 --> 00:34:25,663
because it was just a service
that we want to be able

786
00:34:25,663 --> 00:34:27,799
to take better care
of our existing people.

787
00:34:27,799 --> 00:34:29,567
And we were tired. Income.

788
00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:31,436
What are your taxes?
You're coming from us anymore.

789
00:34:31,436 --> 00:34:32,937
Like you got Social Security.

790
00:34:32,937 --> 00:34:35,573
But yeah, I agree
with all the stuff that we affect

791
00:34:36,707 --> 00:34:39,010
tax taxes so we can have in one place

792
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:42,680
if we can have easy communication between
us, it makes life easier for our clients.

793
00:34:43,347 --> 00:34:45,483
That was the goal. Yeah.

794
00:34:45,483 --> 00:34:48,886
So before we go any more,
I want to make sure that we're able

795
00:34:48,886 --> 00:34:52,557
to really warm up our process
and make sure we're comfortable for one.

796
00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:55,693
And that's that's awesome.

797
00:34:55,693 --> 00:34:57,895
Jeff Singer just taxes.

798
00:34:57,895 --> 00:34:59,263
He does my taxes.

799
00:34:59,263 --> 00:34:59,897
Great guy.

800
00:34:59,897 --> 00:35:05,536
I thought I was, his daughter's teacher
recommended that I have to say before

801
00:35:05,536 --> 00:35:06,504
I go,

802
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:09,273
you should check him out because I said,
nah, he's just kick them under the table.

803
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:09,807
I haven't done it.

804
00:35:09,807 --> 00:35:11,075
I think he knows.

805
00:35:11,075 --> 00:35:13,144
Maybe I know why, but no, he let me in.

806
00:35:13,144 --> 00:35:15,947
We were in your.
We were in your office at 8 p.m..

807
00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:17,281
I was eating all the snacks.

808
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:19,150
Your beef jerky, your chips.

809
00:35:19,150 --> 00:35:21,052
I drank all the seltzers.

810
00:35:21,052 --> 00:35:25,723
I moved around your bobblehead of Bob
Ross took about a handful of pens.

811
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:27,091
Thank you.

812
00:35:27,091 --> 00:35:30,094
Don't drink from all your mugs.

813
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,065
You actually had the entire office?

814
00:35:34,065 --> 00:35:36,234
Yeah. What?

815
00:35:36,234 --> 00:35:38,736
I also asked Jeff to write down everything
you know.

816
00:35:38,736 --> 00:35:41,172
So you'll be getting those.

817
00:35:41,172 --> 00:35:42,507
Thank you in advance.

818
00:35:42,507 --> 00:35:43,241
We'll send it to Eric.

819
00:35:43,241 --> 00:35:43,674
We're not friends.

820
00:35:43,674 --> 00:35:44,408
I think we're all good.

821
00:35:44,408 --> 00:35:46,577
I, I but but no.

822
00:35:46,577 --> 00:35:47,879
Jeff Singer, great person. What?

823
00:35:47,879 --> 00:35:50,882
All right. Our motto. Be a good friend.

824
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:52,550
Pick up trash. Hold the door.

825
00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:54,018
Give a compliment. Be charitable.

826
00:35:54,018 --> 00:35:57,021
What makes Jeff Singer a good friend?

827
00:35:58,689 --> 00:36:00,925
We had a client

828
00:36:00,925 --> 00:36:03,194
before he became a board

829
00:36:03,194 --> 00:36:05,029
last year

830
00:36:05,029 --> 00:36:08,666
who had done something wrong
with their table ties.

831
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,503
They filled out something wrong,
and because of that,

832
00:36:12,503 --> 00:36:14,805
they weren't going to get an exemption
that they needed because it showed

833
00:36:14,805 --> 00:36:15,506
that they made too much.

834
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:19,377
Jeff showed up to their house

835
00:36:19,377 --> 00:36:22,747
April 15th, which is tax day at 6 p.m.,

836
00:36:23,981 --> 00:36:27,084
to walk them through what they had done,
figure it out,

837
00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:30,254
and make sure that they were on the right.

838
00:36:30,254 --> 00:36:33,291
I don't think that you meet a lot of human
beings, especially accountants,

839
00:36:33,291 --> 00:36:35,493
in the middle of the last year
and tax season,

840
00:36:35,493 --> 00:36:38,429
when you clearly have so much going on

841
00:36:38,429 --> 00:36:41,432
to be able to take time just to help out
somebody you've never been before.

842
00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:43,434
Great guy.

843
00:36:43,434 --> 00:36:45,703
Thank you, Jeff Singer,
for being a good friend.

844
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:47,939
Well, he did mine at 8 p.m. on a Sunday.

845
00:36:47,939 --> 00:36:48,940
Does that count?

846
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:51,943
That a good friend.

847
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:53,044
Oh, okay.

848
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,512
Forgot about that part, I'm guessing.

849
00:36:54,512 --> 00:36:56,347
I don't know, you didn't tell me,
but that would be my guess.

850
00:36:57,615 --> 00:36:59,951
And. Oh, back to West Hartford lock.

851
00:36:59,951 --> 00:37:01,352
Watch what I do here.

852
00:37:01,352 --> 00:37:03,788
What are three keys that make you

853
00:37:03,788 --> 00:37:07,158
a great financial advisor? For.

854
00:37:08,426 --> 00:37:11,395
Well, I mean, here I'm talking a lot,

855
00:37:11,662 --> 00:37:14,665
but the first thing we have to do
is listen,

856
00:37:14,865 --> 00:37:16,667
so many people

857
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:19,670
just want to come in and be like,
okay, let me tell you.

858
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:23,608
How can I help you if I don't understand

859
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:27,245
what you're trying to accomplish?

860
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:29,647
Everyone's different anyway, so listen,

861
00:37:29,647 --> 00:37:32,650
first to.

862
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:37,188
We stand by what we do.

863
00:37:37,188 --> 00:37:39,557
Think that.

864
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:41,125
Yeah, I think so many people

865
00:37:41,125 --> 00:37:44,128
just want to give an answer and then

866
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:46,530
you just us.

867
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:48,566
You got to be able to follow through on
what you do.

868
00:37:48,566 --> 00:37:51,602
You got to be able to show people
that you all who you say you are.

869
00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:52,803
And then

870
00:37:53,971 --> 00:37:56,641
number three.

871
00:37:56,641 --> 00:37:58,109
We bring everything together.

872
00:37:58,109 --> 00:37:59,877
We don't just focus on one aspect.

873
00:37:59,877 --> 00:38:00,211
Right.

874
00:38:00,211 --> 00:38:01,779
It's not just this investment

875
00:38:01,779 --> 00:38:05,316
or this mutual fund
for this stock, for this whatever. Yes.

876
00:38:05,683 --> 00:38:07,818
How does this work
with your Social Security,

877
00:38:07,818 --> 00:38:11,022
with your taxes, their statements,
all those things have to come by.

878
00:38:11,455 --> 00:38:15,526
And if you just look at one out
of those four, two, they don't intersect.

879
00:38:15,526 --> 00:38:16,861
And you're not doing the right thing
for people.

880
00:38:16,861 --> 00:38:18,929
You have to put all those pieces together.

881
00:38:18,929 --> 00:38:22,566
And, I know I talk about it,
and I got some people talking about what

882
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,937
I like to call it, a Lego set, because
she's never put the wrong person on a Lego

883
00:38:28,539 --> 00:38:29,974
straight nails.

884
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:32,843
I'm like, that's that's what it is.

885
00:38:32,843 --> 00:38:35,413
Sometimes when you do the wrong thing
with the whole time of financial time.

886
00:38:35,413 --> 00:38:37,315
So we want to make sure
we're building right pieces.

887
00:38:40,251 --> 00:38:40,584
Good.

888
00:38:40,584 --> 00:38:43,587
Listen, now people don't know this, but

889
00:38:44,455 --> 00:38:46,957
buddy building Markowitz. Yes.

890
00:38:46,957 --> 00:38:48,326
Bikes. You allowed to jump on?

891
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:50,094
Of course, of course.

892
00:38:50,094 --> 00:38:51,028
Let me ask you, though.

893
00:38:51,028 --> 00:38:52,897
Maybe he had his shine already.

894
00:38:52,897 --> 00:38:56,367
He had his time on, episode.

895
00:38:56,367 --> 00:38:57,401
What's your episode, Billy?

896
00:38:57,401 --> 00:39:00,338
He goes 107.

897
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:00,938
Let's see.

898
00:39:00,938 --> 00:39:03,741
1071 17. Can we.

899
00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:05,309
I got 127 here, Billy.

900
00:39:05,309 --> 00:39:07,912
Come on.

901
00:39:07,912 --> 00:39:10,614
Now, dude,
you started swimming after I was that.

902
00:39:10,614 --> 00:39:12,750
That's what it was.
I swam two days in a row.

903
00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:17,555
Boys at the gym half a mile yesterday,
half a mile this morning.

904
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:20,591
You know, the great shark.

905
00:39:20,591 --> 00:39:22,727
What a difference the J makes.

906
00:39:22,727 --> 00:39:24,195
I'm down to 208.

907
00:39:24,195 --> 00:39:27,198
Well, I used to be 220.

908
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:28,766
My knees are feeling better.

909
00:39:28,766 --> 00:39:31,936
So when I hit your one on one
I only had like 20 pounds.

910
00:39:32,336 --> 00:39:36,340
Yes, because you make
it sound like I'm 50, so we're sort of 82.

911
00:39:36,774 --> 00:39:40,878
You thought I was 270 or at that point
in time I think I was 220 ish.

912
00:39:40,878 --> 00:39:43,347
So I also had some elbows on me.

913
00:39:43,347 --> 00:39:45,216
Yeah, but you made it seem like two 20s.

914
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:48,419
So you were about 40, 20 000.

915
00:39:48,419 --> 00:39:50,888
You know, we haven't gone there,
but we played one on one.

916
00:39:50,888 --> 00:39:51,756
Were you there for that?

917
00:39:51,756 --> 00:39:52,423
You were there.

918
00:39:52,423 --> 00:39:54,458
What was it?

919
00:39:54,458 --> 00:39:55,760
We. I don't know why you want me to bring.

920
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,763
Yeah.

921
00:39:58,763 --> 00:40:02,633
We're going to live stream a rematch
Facebook fundraiser here, so we have time.

922
00:40:03,367 --> 00:40:04,435
Time? Okay.

923
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:07,371
You can you can do the color commentary.

924
00:40:07,371 --> 00:40:09,974
We'll give you the money
now. True or false?

925
00:40:09,974 --> 00:40:12,977
Can can you talk
openly on how the market is right now?

926
00:40:12,977 --> 00:40:15,146
Today?

927
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:17,581
So today

928
00:40:17,581 --> 00:40:20,184
the S&P 500 actually went positive
for the year.

929
00:40:20,184 --> 00:40:23,187
And the reason that that happened
is because you brought me. Yes.

930
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:26,957
The S&P 500 is up a 10th of a percent
as of the.

931
00:40:27,158 --> 00:40:30,227
And at one point it was down like 15%.

932
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:32,329
I gave crazy tonight.

933
00:40:32,329 --> 00:40:33,864
And so

934
00:40:33,864 --> 00:40:37,067
so can I predict what happens next?

935
00:40:37,368 --> 00:40:39,603
I'm not that cool of crystal ball.

936
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:41,572
But I can learn from the situation.

937
00:40:41,572 --> 00:40:44,208
And that's what we do
is make sure that no matter what happens,

938
00:40:44,208 --> 00:40:46,644
we have a plan
for what we know how to play.

939
00:40:46,644 --> 00:40:47,945
And that's what the anxiety fixing.

940
00:40:47,945 --> 00:40:49,680
Oh man,
I should have done this a while ago.

941
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,415
I should have talked to somebody.

942
00:40:51,415 --> 00:40:53,217
No, that's what we have to worry about it.

943
00:40:53,217 --> 00:40:56,220
The reason that I haven't lost
more of my hair just because we have.

944
00:40:56,654 --> 00:40:58,088
I know you look a little gray right here.

945
00:41:01,091 --> 00:41:01,459
Right.

946
00:41:01,459 --> 00:41:03,127
But I
tell you about my daughter this morning.

947
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:06,764
I just put on a coffee table,
while I was sitting on the couch.

948
00:41:06,764 --> 00:41:08,999
This is a dad.

949
00:41:08,999 --> 00:41:12,002
Dad. She's like a,
you know, ten going on 15.

950
00:41:12,403 --> 00:41:14,605
You should really start losing your hair.

951
00:41:14,605 --> 00:41:18,609
Oh, thank you so much for that kind of.

952
00:41:18,742 --> 00:41:20,611
Yeah. Daughters are the best like that.

953
00:41:20,611 --> 00:41:22,580
I appreciate your honesty.

954
00:41:22,580 --> 00:41:24,815
So, you know, I'm happy to have the great.

955
00:41:24,815 --> 00:41:25,883
My daughters once said.

956
00:41:25,883 --> 00:41:27,852
Hey, dad, put your hair down.

957
00:41:27,852 --> 00:41:30,020
What's your bald spot look like today?

958
00:41:30,020 --> 00:41:32,990
C and S or a J.

959
00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:35,226
I would show the camera, but let's not.

960
00:41:35,226 --> 00:41:36,694
But yeah, kids, daughters.

961
00:41:36,694 --> 00:41:39,697
Especially to to their dads love them.

962
00:41:39,730 --> 00:41:43,067
Yeah, but man, no.

963
00:41:43,434 --> 00:41:47,938
And so how are you feeling
talking on camera?

964
00:41:47,938 --> 00:41:50,307
I know you're nervous.
You don't do that often, right?

965
00:41:50,307 --> 00:41:54,144
I, you know, I mean, it's it's
intimidating right in front of you.

966
00:41:54,378 --> 00:41:56,413
So welcome to the pod.

967
00:41:56,413 --> 00:41:58,916
I noticed on your website
you said as seen on

968
00:41:58,916 --> 00:42:01,919
Ctmc channel three,

969
00:42:02,186 --> 00:42:05,155
TCI 1080 news, channel eight.

970
00:42:05,856 --> 00:42:09,493
Are we going to get a beanie Talks
with friends logo up there?

971
00:42:09,493 --> 00:42:12,229
As seen. Can we add that to the website?

972
00:42:12,229 --> 00:42:14,365
Well, since you're asking
me, am I asking too much?

973
00:42:15,332 --> 00:42:16,066
Yeah, right.

974
00:42:16,066 --> 00:42:17,434
That's right.

975
00:42:17,434 --> 00:42:19,837
That's a no.

976
00:42:19,837 --> 00:42:22,806
That's the best way to get a it's
supposed to be get a yes.

977
00:42:22,806 --> 00:42:23,941
Yeah, absolutely.

978
00:42:23,941 --> 00:42:24,808
That'd be awesome.

979
00:42:24,808 --> 00:42:25,442
That'd be awesome.

980
00:42:25,442 --> 00:42:28,078
And true or false. Confirm or deny.

981
00:42:28,078 --> 00:42:32,383
We have chief financial
guest on the website.

982
00:42:32,483 --> 00:42:33,517
Deal? Deal.

983
00:42:33,517 --> 00:42:35,419
I have to negotiate. Okay. Yeah.

984
00:42:35,419 --> 00:42:37,555
You know, I got a I was told to.

985
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:39,490
This is the chairman of the board. Matt.

986
00:42:39,490 --> 00:42:41,392
I'm not looking at you, Billy.

987
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:43,694
Ben Fuchs, you missed it.

988
00:42:43,694 --> 00:42:45,162
We've been. He's
been talking a lot of trash.

989
00:42:45,162 --> 00:42:45,596
Thank you.

990
00:42:45,596 --> 00:42:48,566
I got some backup now.

991
00:42:48,933 --> 00:42:50,034
So confirm or deny.

992
00:42:50,034 --> 00:42:50,834
Do you film?

993
00:42:50,834 --> 00:42:55,105
You have a TV show you have to do? It
airs weekly Sundays, right?

994
00:42:55,105 --> 00:42:56,073
Or Saturday nights?

995
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:58,842
Saturday nights, 7 p.m. NBC.

996
00:42:58,842 --> 00:43:01,845
If I'm about lucky Derby or,

997
00:43:02,513 --> 00:43:05,482
you know, did
you get bumped for the run of the roses?

998
00:43:05,482 --> 00:43:06,550
How dare they?

999
00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:08,986
Like, why would anybody want to see
those massive hacks? Is that right?

1000
00:43:08,986 --> 00:43:10,020
Financial?

1001
00:43:10,020 --> 00:43:11,322
Do what you get.

1002
00:43:11,322 --> 00:43:13,557
The greatest two minutes in sports.

1003
00:43:13,557 --> 00:43:14,592
They wanted to,

1004
00:43:15,626 --> 00:43:16,694
bump you.

1005
00:43:16,694 --> 00:43:18,195
Well, you have your biggest fan
here, Billy.

1006
00:43:18,195 --> 00:43:21,498
Send screenshots
of all of your times on the TV.

1007
00:43:21,765 --> 00:43:24,602
Marty,
because I have them pulled up and there's,

1008
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:27,605
like, one active viewer
and I'm like, Billy, thank you.

1009
00:43:28,405 --> 00:43:32,209
Not the best is once
I go to, like, a yard, goats event,

1010
00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:37,481
bow ties and baseballs, I go to the bar
to get a drink and I look on the screen.

1011
00:43:37,481 --> 00:43:40,484
And who do I see ruining my evening?

1012
00:43:40,651 --> 00:43:43,320
Enhancing?

1013
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,288
You. You're welcome.

1014
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:45,289
Where was I? Yep.

1015
00:43:45,289 --> 00:43:47,758
This is it. The Yard Goats game.

1016
00:43:47,758 --> 00:43:48,225
Look at that.

1017
00:43:48,225 --> 00:43:50,094
Look at you at the bar.

1018
00:43:50,094 --> 00:43:52,563
That's the one. There's two today.

1019
00:43:52,563 --> 00:43:54,865
I go,

1020
00:43:54,865 --> 00:43:56,333
then there's there's another one.

1021
00:43:56,333 --> 00:43:59,136
Oh, how you retired.com, is that you?

1022
00:43:59,136 --> 00:43:59,737
That's me.

1023
00:43:59,737 --> 00:44:03,874
That's that's, so that's the website that
you can go to if you want a,

1024
00:44:04,942 --> 00:44:06,110
a taxi business,

1025
00:44:06,110 --> 00:44:10,014
but taxes and income.com
is really the main site.

1026
00:44:10,547 --> 00:44:13,017
So if you want to add taxes and income

1027
00:44:13,017 --> 00:44:15,185
because too many people were misspelling
views.

1028
00:44:15,185 --> 00:44:16,654
So we, we went with this.

1029
00:44:16,654 --> 00:44:19,757
I don't know how you could do it
with taxes going to come back down here

1030
00:44:20,424 --> 00:44:22,259
for the community. Yeah.

1031
00:44:22,259 --> 00:44:25,262
And your number, you could be reached
at Fuchs financial.com

1032
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:30,501
and (860) 775-4490.

1033
00:44:31,435 --> 00:44:33,537
I don't even know that number had

1034
00:44:33,537 --> 00:44:36,540
(860) 461-1709.

1035
00:44:36,807 --> 00:44:38,242
That could also be true.

1036
00:44:38,242 --> 00:44:40,277
Is that your cell phone
that you just gave or.

1037
00:44:40,277 --> 00:44:44,081
Okay, I was going to say because if you
gave myself what I, I got your cell phone.

1038
00:44:44,348 --> 00:44:45,349
Stick around to the end.

1039
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:47,317
I'm Sharon Fuchs cell phone.

1040
00:44:47,317 --> 00:44:49,586
So you and his address.

1041
00:44:49,586 --> 00:44:52,256
So I swear to God,
I came here like, two minutes late.

1042
00:44:52,256 --> 00:44:54,425
I was going to be here at 429.

1043
00:44:54,425 --> 00:44:57,961
I should have at 432
because I was in the Starbucks next door.

1044
00:44:58,195 --> 00:45:01,465
And as I'm getting in my car to leave,
somebody pulls like,

1045
00:45:01,498 --> 00:45:02,499
this is how you get out.

1046
00:45:02,499 --> 00:45:04,034
Somebody pulled right in front of me

1047
00:45:04,034 --> 00:45:08,005
and like, hey, are you that financial
that I'm like, yeah.

1048
00:45:08,405 --> 00:45:09,840
And ask me like, I'm not happy.

1049
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,875
Like, no, I'm I'm happy with what?

1050
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:14,178
I'm like, oh man, I don't want to be late
for this podcast.

1051
00:45:14,178 --> 00:45:17,014
Like I give hard enough time to then sure.

1052
00:45:17,014 --> 00:45:18,482
It's just purely disrespectful.

1053
00:45:18,482 --> 00:45:19,616
I don't want to do that.

1054
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:22,219
So I apologize for being two minutes late,
but I did.

1055
00:45:22,219 --> 00:45:24,088
Interesting. Did you give him your card?

1056
00:45:24,088 --> 00:45:25,889
I did, that's very cool.

1057
00:45:25,889 --> 00:45:28,592
He recognized Joe recognizable face.

1058
00:45:28,592 --> 00:45:31,962
This guy is weird because I don't feel
like I'm that like, I don't.

1059
00:45:31,962 --> 00:45:35,599
I mean, between golf and bend,
which is interesting because they share.

1060
00:45:36,867 --> 00:45:39,837
Yeah, well, I let her

1061
00:45:39,837 --> 00:45:40,671
so they.

1062
00:45:40,671 --> 00:45:43,607
Bruce came to us and was like,
you know, you're okay with it.

1063
00:45:43,607 --> 00:45:44,074
Very.

1064
00:45:44,074 --> 00:45:45,809
I was going to say,
I thought, you're going to Starbucks.

1065
00:45:45,809 --> 00:45:48,278
Lady pulled out
and you saw a magnet on her car.

1066
00:45:48,278 --> 00:45:49,213
No, no, no.

1067
00:45:49,213 --> 00:45:52,382
So what I do
is I carry with me a spray paint.

1068
00:45:52,382 --> 00:45:56,220
So every time I see a good friend,
I just want to enhance the border.

1069
00:45:56,587 --> 00:45:58,122
Nice, nice.

1070
00:45:58,122 --> 00:46:00,290
You can get these now.
These are our fundraiser.

1071
00:46:00,290 --> 00:46:03,360
We did a mural at Parkville
Market at the local,

1072
00:46:03,694 --> 00:46:07,164
and they're being sold
at the Daily Ground in Farmington.

1073
00:46:07,498 --> 00:46:09,700
But as you can see, it's a starry night
theme.

1074
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:11,034
Vincent van Gogh.

1075
00:46:11,034 --> 00:46:12,870
So thank you to our friends Zoe,

1076
00:46:12,870 --> 00:46:16,106
Jack, Teagan
and Hannah and Julie from Rise Up Murals.

1077
00:46:16,540 --> 00:46:17,374
They help us do this.

1078
00:46:17,374 --> 00:46:20,377
We'll share a link,
but these are some cool new.

1079
00:46:20,844 --> 00:46:23,614
Maybe you'll buy one, shoot
the lock off your wallet and buy a magnet.

1080
00:46:23,614 --> 00:46:27,017
Fuchs will. I just said that.

1081
00:46:28,118 --> 00:46:29,753
That's true. Oh.

1082
00:46:29,753 --> 00:46:32,089
Oops. Oops oops
I you're right, you're right.

1083
00:46:32,089 --> 00:46:34,291
Okay, can I get alligator?

1084
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:34,625
All right.

1085
00:46:34,625 --> 00:46:35,726
Back to confirm or deny.

1086
00:46:35,726 --> 00:46:38,328
Do you film your show in Arizona? So.

1087
00:46:38,328 --> 00:46:39,530
And how does that work?

1088
00:46:39,530 --> 00:46:41,365
I film,

1089
00:46:41,365 --> 00:46:44,368
yes, but. So

1090
00:46:44,635 --> 00:46:48,205
breaking news, we actually have finished

1091
00:46:48,505 --> 00:46:51,608
or are in the process of finishing
the studio in our little town office

1092
00:46:52,109 --> 00:46:54,611
so that I will not have to fly down
to Arizona anymore,

1093
00:46:54,611 --> 00:46:58,248
because it used to be like,
oh cool, I get a break and now

1094
00:46:58,916 --> 00:47:01,919
my daughter will hug my like the one
that's two likes me and a three year old.

1095
00:47:02,419 --> 00:47:03,654
So hug my leg.

1096
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:04,855
Don't go big.

1097
00:47:04,855 --> 00:47:06,957
The guilt of leaving every time.

1098
00:47:06,957 --> 00:47:11,161
And it's like two days, but it's still,
you know, where did you go?

1099
00:47:11,695 --> 00:47:13,697
So we do film in Arizona.

1100
00:47:13,697 --> 00:47:17,000
There's a great studio, down there
that we were able to use

1101
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,303
where we can film that,
and they have a production crew in there.

1102
00:47:19,303 --> 00:47:20,304
So it's it's really cool.

1103
00:47:20,304 --> 00:47:23,740
But, shout out to to go to Greenlight
Productions.

1104
00:47:23,740 --> 00:47:27,010
Adrian Gallagher,
she is, the one that's going

1105
00:47:27,010 --> 00:47:30,347
to be filming the show
and we're really excited about that.

1106
00:47:30,881 --> 00:47:32,282
And you're going to host in Middletown.

1107
00:47:34,084 --> 00:47:37,087
You have quite
the playhouse in that Middletown office.

1108
00:47:37,087 --> 00:47:39,656
Arcades, pinball?

1109
00:47:39,656 --> 00:47:42,626
No. Pinball ball arcade, though.

1110
00:47:43,126 --> 00:47:45,729
Pool table, ping pong table.

1111
00:47:45,729 --> 00:47:47,097
Come on, man, I got singer.

1112
00:47:47,097 --> 00:47:47,965
Show me pictures.

1113
00:47:47,965 --> 00:47:50,167
First of all, check the pictures.

1114
00:47:50,167 --> 00:47:52,202
I will show what there is.

1115
00:47:52,202 --> 00:47:55,839
There is a there is a basketball
pop shot here for that man.

1116
00:47:55,839 --> 00:47:57,474
Listen, I have a midlife crisis.

1117
00:47:57,474 --> 00:47:59,843
Know didn't we? All right?

1118
00:47:59,843 --> 00:48:04,581
And instead of buying, like,
the convertible, to show off my life,

1119
00:48:04,882 --> 00:48:07,618
I decided that
it would be more cost efficient

1120
00:48:07,618 --> 00:48:10,821
and fun to buy the time. And.

1121
00:48:10,821 --> 00:48:12,189
Yeah, time is like.

1122
00:48:12,189 --> 00:48:13,023
So we have.

1123
00:48:13,023 --> 00:48:15,125
I tell you what we have
because I can visualize.

1124
00:48:15,125 --> 00:48:19,763
Well, we have air hockey,
you know, and, like a coffee shop. Yep.

1125
00:48:20,097 --> 00:48:22,032
We have skee-ball.

1126
00:48:22,032 --> 00:48:24,301
We have side by side,

1127
00:48:26,036 --> 00:48:29,039
car racing and, kind of, I suppose,

1128
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,943
because nothing is more fun than talking
trash to your eight year old son

1129
00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:36,213
as you are destroying him on my,

1130
00:48:36,213 --> 00:48:39,850
And then we also have
this old school. Yes.

1131
00:48:40,684 --> 00:48:42,920
We got there and

1132
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,621
and so it's just art.

1133
00:48:44,621 --> 00:48:46,990
They do just like the big screen.

1134
00:48:46,990 --> 00:48:50,127
And it has every arcade game from 1982
to like 2005.

1135
00:48:50,827 --> 00:48:53,830
Street fighter two, NBA jam,

1136
00:48:54,631 --> 00:48:56,233
I'm coming over middle.

1137
00:48:56,233 --> 00:49:00,871
I mean, you know, all kinds of like contra
upupdowndown left.

1138
00:49:00,871 --> 00:49:01,571
They start.

1139
00:49:01,571 --> 00:49:02,572
Okay.

1140
00:49:02,572 --> 00:49:05,475
Yeah, yeah. So weird. I mean, it's a.

1141
00:49:05,475 --> 00:49:08,712
Oh, and can we give a shout out
to one of my advisors at the asthma?

1142
00:49:09,546 --> 00:49:12,482
He lost it to the last show
on Mike Tyson's.

1143
00:49:12,482 --> 00:49:15,218
Oh, and I didn't know that
that could actually happen.

1144
00:49:15,218 --> 00:49:16,486
Don't say that.

1145
00:49:16,486 --> 00:49:18,989
So I'm Eddie, I was, Alex cow.

1146
00:49:18,989 --> 00:49:19,957
It's kind of one of ours.

1147
00:49:19,957 --> 00:49:22,693
Was just got a CFP. Amazing.

1148
00:49:22,693 --> 00:49:23,794
With Gina Mazara.

1149
00:49:23,794 --> 00:49:26,663
Been an advisor
with us for five years now.

1150
00:49:26,663 --> 00:49:28,098
It's crazy.

1151
00:49:28,098 --> 00:49:30,167
So we're we're very
lucky to have two people. So.

1152
00:49:31,134 --> 00:49:33,203
CFP, I meant to mention it.

1153
00:49:33,203 --> 00:49:34,104
What does that mean?

1154
00:49:34,104 --> 00:49:36,006
What acronym

1155
00:49:36,006 --> 00:49:37,441
like financial planner. Got you.

1156
00:49:37,441 --> 00:49:38,542
What's CP?

1157
00:49:38,542 --> 00:49:41,578
WA? She is a certified title.

1158
00:49:42,312 --> 00:49:45,515
And she would have said you also have
to say the professional after.

1159
00:49:45,549 --> 00:49:49,820
So she professional
not my rules their rules.

1160
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:53,790
And I just want to lose a licensed
like I go by the rules and that one was

1161
00:49:53,790 --> 00:49:59,029
made me like you know a specifically
the people out of $5 million.

1162
00:49:59,029 --> 00:50:00,630
And I

1163
00:50:00,630 --> 00:50:04,501
and I hesitate to say that stuff
because we don't need to have one of the

1164
00:50:04,534 --> 00:50:05,902
problems to become a client at all.

1165
00:50:05,902 --> 00:50:08,238
We don't have limits at all.

1166
00:50:08,238 --> 00:50:10,374
We can help.

1167
00:50:10,374 --> 00:50:11,875
But it was interesting
because there are a lot of like,

1168
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:14,878
tax pieces and estate planning pieces
that I did not know before that

1169
00:50:15,445 --> 00:50:18,248
can be applied to plenty of
people, so I like that one.

1170
00:50:19,282 --> 00:50:20,917
Middletown offices.

1171
00:50:20,917 --> 00:50:23,253
What about the Middlebury office?

1172
00:50:23,253 --> 00:50:26,056
Do you ever go to Quasi Lake, quasi
Park out there?

1173
00:50:26,056 --> 00:50:27,624
Middlebury apparently, no.

1174
00:50:27,624 --> 00:50:29,359
I feel like I should tell me about Lake.

1175
00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:30,761
You should bring your kids.

1176
00:50:30,761 --> 00:50:32,929
It's like it was Six Flags before.

1177
00:50:32,929 --> 00:50:33,797
Six flags.

1178
00:50:33,797 --> 00:50:36,333
Well, it's
that that's that side of town. Six flags.

1179
00:50:36,333 --> 00:50:40,804
It's the Waterbury Six Flags
I grew up going to quarter night,

1180
00:50:41,505 --> 00:50:43,607
quarter hot dogs, quarter soda and coffee.

1181
00:50:43,607 --> 00:50:47,177
You eat so much, and you fall
and you spin around, and then and

1182
00:50:47,310 --> 00:50:48,412
and finish school.

1183
00:50:48,412 --> 00:50:51,415
Reverse reversal of fortune. Yes.

1184
00:50:51,615 --> 00:50:54,584
I actually went to Six Flags on Easter,

1185
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:57,421
so it was great because that's smart.

1186
00:50:57,421 --> 00:50:59,289
You got nothing else to do.

1187
00:50:59,289 --> 00:51:00,357
There was no lines.

1188
00:51:00,357 --> 00:51:01,291
It was like the best day.

1189
00:51:01,291 --> 00:51:03,293
So for all of you, it was open

1190
00:51:03,293 --> 00:51:07,197
smart Chinese on Christmas
I think was also 5 to 6 back on Easter.

1191
00:51:07,197 --> 00:51:08,065
That's the through.

1192
00:51:09,299 --> 00:51:09,833
You heard them.

1193
00:51:09,833 --> 00:51:12,436
You heard me. I don't know if I should.
We put a sign up at the.

1194
00:51:12,436 --> 00:51:15,272
Yes. Did they not. They don't

1195
00:51:15,272 --> 00:51:17,374
I won't mention. Who's that.

1196
00:51:17,374 --> 00:51:18,942
No they do not yet.

1197
00:51:18,942 --> 00:51:21,244
Yet keyword.

1198
00:51:21,244 --> 00:51:24,214
No. Rachel Metzger.

1199
00:51:24,614 --> 00:51:25,582
How's she doing?

1200
00:51:25,582 --> 00:51:27,451
She's great.
So you guys got a good little.

1201
00:51:27,451 --> 00:51:28,585
Now, who's got better report?

1202
00:51:28,585 --> 00:51:31,588
Me and you or you and Rachel

1203
00:51:31,955 --> 00:51:33,290
going back and forth. Yeah.

1204
00:51:33,290 --> 00:51:36,626
So, I mean, close, it's really close, but.

1205
00:51:37,294 --> 00:51:39,896
And what do I have to do
to get her on the podcast?

1206
00:51:39,896 --> 00:51:41,298
Good luck.

1207
00:51:41,298 --> 00:51:45,469
I couldn't
I out like the Rachel puts up with me.

1208
00:51:45,469 --> 00:51:47,304
Like I was like,
oh, Rachel, just come on the show.

1209
00:51:47,304 --> 00:51:49,573
You can ask me questions.
She's like, no, no.

1210
00:51:49,573 --> 00:51:50,307
I'm like, what do you mean?

1211
00:51:50,307 --> 00:51:51,875
I mean, it just asked me, like,
any questions?

1212
00:51:51,875 --> 00:51:54,177
Like,
I don't know about financial planning.

1213
00:51:54,177 --> 00:51:56,713
I am a professional you have to give me.

1214
00:51:56,713 --> 00:51:57,981
We're going to have a show.

1215
00:51:57,981 --> 00:52:00,650
You can't just have me out there
as they asked me stuff.

1216
00:52:00,650 --> 00:52:03,520
So I was like, oh,
we need to actually, like plan this out.

1217
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,923
I didn't realize that
we had to have structure, I just, I did

1218
00:52:06,923 --> 00:52:10,627
you have topic and script
and yeah, do practice rounds.

1219
00:52:10,794 --> 00:52:13,597
No, no
I don't because I like to be off the.

1220
00:52:13,597 --> 00:52:14,264
Yeah.

1221
00:52:14,264 --> 00:52:16,099
Like I don't want to be practiced.

1222
00:52:16,099 --> 00:52:18,101
Yeah.
Some idea of what I want to talk about.

1223
00:52:18,101 --> 00:52:22,272
I have some concept
but I like to give out topics.

1224
00:52:22,272 --> 00:52:23,106
We'll give out ideas.

1225
00:52:23,106 --> 00:52:26,276
I want to give her enough class
so she's good in ask.

1226
00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:29,713
But I don't want to do outside.

1227
00:52:29,779 --> 00:52:31,414
Yeah. No, she's super cool.

1228
00:52:31,414 --> 00:52:33,550
She host. Actually,
I heard her on the way over

1229
00:52:34,551 --> 00:52:36,686
River 159.

1230
00:52:36,686 --> 00:52:38,755
Your ride home, Rachel. Oscar.

1231
00:52:38,755 --> 00:52:40,757
And I was like, hey,
I'm going to bring that up.

1232
00:52:40,757 --> 00:52:42,859
And I saw her at the Brook
Golf Christmas party.

1233
00:52:42,859 --> 00:52:43,827
Okay?

1234
00:52:43,827 --> 00:52:47,063
And I talked with, I think I said, hey,
what are you going to be a podcast guest?

1235
00:52:47,430 --> 00:52:48,632
And what's her husband do?

1236
00:52:48,632 --> 00:52:52,235
Is you like a cop or something
like, oh, whoops.

1237
00:52:52,969 --> 00:52:54,604
And she does a show with you.

1238
00:52:54,604 --> 00:52:55,705
Yeah. Oh, boy.

1239
00:52:55,705 --> 00:52:58,275
So I said, I said, listen, first of all,
have you met him?

1240
00:52:58,275 --> 00:52:59,576
Yeah, he's a big dude.

1241
00:52:59,576 --> 00:53:01,745
He's a big he's he's he bigger than you.

1242
00:53:01,745 --> 00:53:04,681
He was better.

1243
00:53:04,681 --> 00:53:06,516
No he's a big boy.

1244
00:53:06,516 --> 00:53:08,818
So first of all, he's a great guy. Yeah.

1245
00:53:08,818 --> 00:53:13,256
Gave him a big, obviously,
with that, okay.

1246
00:53:13,523 --> 00:53:14,724
A little different room, right?

1247
00:53:14,724 --> 00:53:18,161
They do like, we,
we like, you know, your Venn diagram.

1248
00:53:18,161 --> 00:53:20,096
We overlap a little bit, but not a lot.

1249
00:53:20,096 --> 00:53:22,566
You and I had a conversation,
so if you guys want, like,

1250
00:53:24,134 --> 00:53:26,503
ever, you need to have an industry.

1251
00:53:26,503 --> 00:53:29,506
But I'm a big fan of,
you know, he was a cool guy.

1252
00:53:29,906 --> 00:53:31,708
Mean handshake, big boy.

1253
00:53:31,708 --> 00:53:34,711
But I chatted him up at the Brook
Golf Christmas party,

1254
00:53:34,778 --> 00:53:37,647
like, you know, like he could like
like I was a wishbone.

1255
00:53:37,647 --> 00:53:39,082
I mean, and it's out of.

1256
00:53:39,082 --> 00:53:42,085
I think he's in the Hall of Fame at all.

1257
00:53:42,252 --> 00:53:43,286
I want to say you live with your foot.

1258
00:53:43,286 --> 00:53:45,722
I believe that's what it is for. What?

1259
00:53:45,722 --> 00:53:48,291
Oh come on. Yeah, he's a big dude.

1260
00:53:48,291 --> 00:53:49,826
I was going to say powerlifter.

1261
00:53:49,826 --> 00:53:51,494
It could have been the, shotput.

1262
00:53:51,494 --> 00:53:53,730
It could have been anything
because he's a big boy.

1263
00:53:53,730 --> 00:53:56,499
Yeah, no, I would if I had to fight him,
which is like what?

1264
00:53:56,499 --> 00:53:58,168
I got into politics. Like,
what would I do?

1265
00:53:58,168 --> 00:53:59,636
Immediately go to the.

1266
00:53:59,636 --> 00:54:00,704
Yeah, the shins.

1267
00:54:00,704 --> 00:54:04,007
And I'm running like, run, run like kick.

1268
00:54:04,274 --> 00:54:05,008
Is that memory allowed?

1269
00:54:05,008 --> 00:54:07,911
Okay, so shout out to the J.

1270
00:54:07,911 --> 00:54:09,546
We're going to name some ballers here.

1271
00:54:09,546 --> 00:54:12,582
Now are you better them in court

1272
00:54:12,582 --> 00:54:15,785
or financial advising
because Evan Gilchrist

1273
00:54:17,354 --> 00:54:18,655
55 he's a

1274
00:54:18,655 --> 00:54:21,725
financial
planner and the deejay episode 55

1275
00:54:22,792 --> 00:54:24,594
John Decker

1276
00:54:24,594 --> 00:54:26,529
Baller, financial planner.

1277
00:54:26,529 --> 00:54:28,765
Episode 65.

1278
00:54:28,765 --> 00:54:29,966
Is there one that you'd like to discuss?

1279
00:54:29,966 --> 00:54:32,535
Who who's better on the court
or off the court?

1280
00:54:32,535 --> 00:54:33,270
Who has?

1281
00:54:33,270 --> 00:54:34,337
I ask all the tough question.

1282
00:54:34,337 --> 00:54:36,206
Rachel doesn't ask
those kind of questions.

1283
00:54:36,206 --> 00:54:39,209
Not what Rachel would have. The up.

1284
00:54:39,209 --> 00:54:40,143
Rachel's never been like.

1285
00:54:40,143 --> 00:54:43,947
You know, Ben, I want to watch you
play in the oh, torture.

1286
00:54:44,281 --> 00:54:46,249
Great thrilling stuff.

1287
00:54:46,249 --> 00:54:49,619
But, Evan Gilchrist has sneaky good
laughs.

1288
00:54:50,153 --> 00:54:55,225
You know finishes better
throw money and Decker who is 55.

1289
00:54:55,659 --> 00:54:58,261
Yeah just turned it I think you still play

1290
00:54:58,261 --> 00:55:01,264
a 40 minute game.

1291
00:55:01,398 --> 00:55:03,466
Incredible shape.

1292
00:55:03,466 --> 00:55:06,536
He's a marvel and he's he's great.

1293
00:55:06,836 --> 00:55:08,138
Better returns. Good idea.

1294
00:55:08,138 --> 00:55:11,708
But that's what I mean
respectfully it's not the goal.

1295
00:55:11,708 --> 00:55:13,677
I'm not going to have two clients
and one's going to have better

1296
00:55:13,677 --> 00:55:15,578
returns than the other
because they give me a different stuff

1297
00:55:15,578 --> 00:55:16,546
based on what they want.

1298
00:55:16,546 --> 00:55:18,848
That's not like a fair comparison.

1299
00:55:18,848 --> 00:55:21,618
I think the better question is
if you're going to compare a business,

1300
00:55:21,618 --> 00:55:24,954
which I don't want to be compared to those
who both work for human beings, but

1301
00:55:26,122 --> 00:55:26,956
it did.

1302
00:55:26,956 --> 00:55:28,958
They do what I asked them to do.

1303
00:55:28,958 --> 00:55:31,961
If I told them that I will save them,
I want to go through,

1304
00:55:32,128 --> 00:55:35,231
you know, whatever was progressive,
I want to come out here just I want,

1305
00:55:35,665 --> 00:55:38,401
you know, I want to save money in taxes.

1306
00:55:38,401 --> 00:55:41,404
Did they tell you they do it in the,

1307
00:55:41,404 --> 00:55:42,639
I think that's where we.

1308
00:55:42,639 --> 00:55:44,040
Yeah, that's a good answer.

1309
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:45,942
Very diplomatic way to answer.

1310
00:55:45,942 --> 00:55:49,512
You could have took
a lot of different angles about that.

1311
00:55:49,846 --> 00:55:50,413
What does that mean?

1312
00:55:50,413 --> 00:55:53,416
You should have over is tap dancing.

1313
00:55:53,683 --> 00:55:54,984
I feel like I did a good job of that.

1314
00:55:54,984 --> 00:55:57,153
You tapped around it perfectly.

1315
00:55:57,153 --> 00:56:00,457
So before we move on
because we're getting close to the end.

1316
00:56:00,457 --> 00:56:03,026
Anything that I missed on
financial planning.

1317
00:56:03,026 --> 00:56:04,894
Anything you like to share.

1318
00:56:04,894 --> 00:56:06,129
Anything you'd like to add?

1319
00:56:07,630 --> 00:56:07,864
Yeah.

1320
00:56:07,864 --> 00:56:10,467
There's no one. Is.

1321
00:56:10,467 --> 00:56:12,235
I think that

1322
00:56:12,235 --> 00:56:14,137
people want to gravitate towards house.

1323
00:56:14,137 --> 00:56:16,172
Everything should be in stocks.
Everything should be mixed funds.

1324
00:56:16,172 --> 00:56:17,040
Everything should be in bonds.

1325
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,041
Everything should be in the movies.

1326
00:56:18,041 --> 00:56:20,076
Everything should be respected.

1327
00:56:20,076 --> 00:56:22,145
I disagree with all of that.

1328
00:56:22,145 --> 00:56:23,646
I think the best of For Everything.

1329
00:56:23,646 --> 00:56:25,081
And there's a

1330
00:56:25,081 --> 00:56:28,118
we shouldn't dismiss any type
of investment because of the name of it.

1331
00:56:28,485 --> 00:56:31,488
And you should see if that investment
makes sense for us.

1332
00:56:32,689 --> 00:56:33,623
Sometimes,

1333
00:56:33,623 --> 00:56:36,626
like I think we dismiss any charity
just because it's expensive to

1334
00:56:37,460 --> 00:56:37,727
write.

1335
00:56:37,727 --> 00:56:40,897
I shouldn't just not give to that base
because of who's running it.

1336
00:56:40,897 --> 00:56:43,266
Right. I should look at the work
that they're actually doing.

1337
00:56:43,266 --> 00:56:46,536
And do they do the things that they say
they do and have they actually helped

1338
00:56:46,536 --> 00:56:48,905
100 families? That's amazing. Right.

1339
00:56:48,905 --> 00:56:50,974
Let's let's make sure that we're given
the right.

1340
00:56:50,974 --> 00:56:53,276
Let's just love it.

1341
00:56:53,276 --> 00:56:55,345
Well, Billy's a great don't donation.

1342
00:56:55,345 --> 00:56:57,313
He's a good friend on and off the court.

1343
00:56:57,313 --> 00:56:58,648
Right Bill.

1344
00:56:58,648 --> 00:57:02,752
He tries it
just all the more for being a good friend.

1345
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:06,055
And Billy's
podcast has like 300 plus views.

1346
00:57:06,055 --> 00:57:06,923
Fuchs.

1347
00:57:06,923 --> 00:57:08,158
Oh, I he's going to be me.

1348
00:57:08,158 --> 00:57:09,692
Okay, you know what's underrated?

1349
00:57:09,692 --> 00:57:14,497
Not only Billy's, good friends,
but also his his barbecuing skills.

1350
00:57:14,597 --> 00:57:16,633
Oh, right.

1351
00:57:16,633 --> 00:57:18,501
There is that barbecue later.

1352
00:57:19,769 --> 00:57:20,603
Two weeks.

1353
00:57:20,603 --> 00:57:21,271
Two weeks. Yeah.

1354
00:57:21,271 --> 00:57:23,573
He's got he's got some things to do.
And then he's invited over.

1355
00:57:23,573 --> 00:57:26,576
We we try to invite him ourselves
over the other day.

1356
00:57:27,677 --> 00:57:28,278
Yeah.

1357
00:57:28,278 --> 00:57:31,614
I will say like the, 
the the chair of the furniture.

1358
00:57:31,614 --> 00:57:32,482
This is okay.

1359
00:57:32,482 --> 00:57:35,418
Yeah. Yep. Propane tank. Yes. Oh. Okay.

1360
00:57:35,418 --> 00:57:37,287
So right after this will be going to go.

1361
00:57:37,287 --> 00:57:40,290
Yep. We're going over there
right down the street. So

1362
00:57:41,825 --> 00:57:43,993
do you feel like

1363
00:57:43,993 --> 00:57:45,995
what drafting.

1364
00:57:45,995 --> 00:57:47,664
I was a captain this year.

1365
00:57:47,664 --> 00:57:51,301
However do you do you ever answer the
question of how your team Billy's hair.

1366
00:57:51,301 --> 00:57:54,304
Billy was on that team
a couple years ago, but

1367
00:57:54,704 --> 00:57:57,707
we were all in 14 oh, two years ago.

1368
00:57:57,907 --> 00:58:02,378
Oh, for winter, two years ago
this year, I think we won four games.

1369
00:58:02,378 --> 00:58:03,913
We finished the three in a row.

1370
00:58:03,913 --> 00:58:05,515
I scored 19 in the finale.

1371
00:58:05,515 --> 00:58:08,117
That's awesome for me right here at the J.

1372
00:58:08,117 --> 00:58:09,352
In two years

1373
00:58:10,286 --> 00:58:13,289
I was I was 14, 28

1374
00:58:13,289 --> 00:58:16,292
cool or four and do the math for today.

1375
00:58:16,993 --> 00:58:18,728
All right. Hold on.

1376
00:58:18,728 --> 00:58:19,896
Let's see. Hold on a second.

1377
00:58:19,896 --> 00:58:21,664
So no, these are these are cute pictures.

1378
00:58:21,664 --> 00:58:23,199
When you won I just had a question.

1379
00:58:23,199 --> 00:58:25,535
Seeing that we're bringing stuff up.

1380
00:58:25,535 --> 00:58:28,805
This yellow one
there's there's a great team here.

1381
00:58:28,805 --> 00:58:31,241
There's Seth,

1382
00:58:31,241 --> 00:58:32,108
recruits.

1383
00:58:32,108 --> 00:58:35,111
Ty, Ben that,

1384
00:58:35,678 --> 00:58:38,214
Jason Ryan and, LaSalle.

1385
00:58:38,214 --> 00:58:40,216
Is that LaSalle? Vessel?

1386
00:58:40,216 --> 00:58:43,219
Vassal. Vassal. Aaron.

1387
00:58:43,553 --> 00:58:45,355
Doctor. Vessel. Excuse me.

1388
00:58:45,355 --> 00:58:47,991
And why are you still family?

1389
00:58:47,991 --> 00:58:49,425
Can we zoom in on Ben?

1390
00:58:49,425 --> 00:58:52,195
Is he flexing
and holding his back in this picture?

1391
00:58:52,195 --> 00:58:55,164
Can you you did you let out any

1392
00:58:56,299 --> 00:58:58,668
any huge exhale after this picture

1393
00:58:58,668 --> 00:59:01,871
was taken to the neck
veins in your neck? Or.

1394
00:59:02,272 --> 00:59:02,672
You know what?

1395
00:59:02,672 --> 00:59:04,541
When I, when I, when I got the opportunity

1396
00:59:04,541 --> 00:59:08,578
to play basketball, I just, you know, I get excited I and then there's another one.

1397
00:59:09,612 --> 00:59:12,615
This is the real reason you want to the.

1398
00:59:12,782 --> 00:59:14,884
Oh, you're you're hoisting Ty.

1399
00:59:14,884 --> 00:59:16,486
You shouldn't even count
that championship.

1400
00:59:16,486 --> 00:59:19,489
You just piggybacked on Ty.

1401
00:59:19,556 --> 00:59:21,324
Piggybacked on Ty, and then. Hold on.

1402
00:59:21,324 --> 00:59:24,327
You got the blue one. Oh, okay.

1403
00:59:24,394 --> 00:59:26,062
That. Oh, then.

1404
00:59:26,062 --> 00:59:27,063
Oh, you.

1405
00:59:27,063 --> 00:59:29,065
You near Aaron?

1406
00:59:29,065 --> 00:59:30,733
Jim? Yeah.

1407
00:59:30,733 --> 00:59:33,736
Alex Frankel, who was MVP.

1408
00:59:33,770 --> 00:59:34,637
Some other dude.

1409
00:59:34,637 --> 00:59:37,440
And look again,
I don't know if you're flexing, but you're

1410
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,443
I mean, you're not holding your breath,
but you're relaxing.

1411
00:59:40,677 --> 00:59:44,380
G you know why I would because I was over
I happen I just happened to be.

1412
00:59:44,647 --> 00:59:47,483
Congrats

1413
00:59:47,483 --> 00:59:50,486

Entire city.

We won. What year did we win?

1416
00:59:54,591 --> 00:59:55,792
Even wanted to make 19.

1417
00:59:55,792 --> 00:59:58,328
Maybe,

1418
00:59:58,328 --> 01:00:00,897
I have three championships.

1419
01:00:00,897 --> 01:00:01,831
How many do you have?

1420
01:00:01,831 --> 01:00:04,467
How long have you been playing? 16 years.

1421
01:00:05,935 --> 01:00:10,640
I it's, how many titles without a title?

1422
01:00:10,940 --> 01:00:12,475
Yo. Good one.

1423
01:00:12,475 --> 01:00:14,777
Okay, that's two out of three.

1424
01:00:14,777 --> 01:00:17,313
No. We already.
Oh, that's a fun fact. Two.

1425
01:00:17,313 --> 01:00:19,916
Oh. We have this birdies
for charity thing going.

1426
01:00:19,916 --> 01:00:22,452
It's a wonderful opportunity
for you to donate.

1427
01:00:22,452 --> 01:00:24,954
Webster Bank is matching with 15%.

1428
01:00:24,954 --> 01:00:27,323
I was looking for more ways to get money
coming in.

1429
01:00:27,323 --> 01:00:30,893
But anyway, championship game, I go, hey,
let's give

1430
01:00:32,195 --> 01:00:36,466
five points per bucket for Bender.

1431
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,402
Let's give.

1432
01:00:39,402 --> 01:00:41,304
Was it two bucks? Oh no, it was five.

1433
01:00:41,304 --> 01:00:41,904
It was five.

1434
01:00:41,904 --> 01:00:46,643
Oh yeah, it was a dollar for tie,
five for you, ten for Bender

1435
01:00:48,378 --> 01:00:50,613
per point.

1436
01:00:50,613 --> 01:00:52,715
So I had 20.

1437
01:00:52,715 --> 01:00:53,583
That's 20.

1438
01:00:53,583 --> 01:00:55,318
You had 19.

1439
01:00:55,318 --> 01:00:56,619
That's 95.

1440
01:00:56,619 --> 01:00:57,654
Do the math.

1441
01:00:57,654 --> 01:01:00,256
Bender had zero.

1442
01:01:00,256 --> 01:01:02,959
Sorry that's zero I was I was wrong.

1443
01:01:02,959 --> 01:01:05,928
So that's 115 total Billy

1444
01:01:05,928 --> 01:01:09,599
took that
and donated it to Birdie's a charity.

1445
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:11,701
That's that I just mentioned.

1446
01:01:11,701 --> 01:01:14,337
So Billy always a good friend.

1447
01:01:14,337 --> 01:01:16,439
Thank you for dropping 19.

1448
01:01:16,439 --> 01:01:18,274
Ty drop 20.

1449
01:01:18,274 --> 01:01:19,575
I was surprised when I got five.

1450
01:01:19,575 --> 01:01:22,578
Obviously my season high,
my season average was like

1451
01:01:23,246 --> 01:01:28,317
4 to 19 in the championship
and we would all swish on those threes.

1452
01:01:28,317 --> 01:01:29,252
Billy, remember that.

1453
01:01:30,386 --> 01:01:30,687
All right.

1454
01:01:30,687 --> 01:01:33,690
Unbelievable. Playoff bend.

1455
01:01:34,257 --> 01:01:36,926
That's it. Are we are we okay.

1456
01:01:36,926 --> 01:01:38,895
Yeah I'm sorry.

1457
01:01:38,895 --> 01:01:39,595
Oh hold on a second.

1458
01:01:39,595 --> 01:01:40,196
Hold on a second.

1459
01:01:40,196 --> 01:01:43,199
Oh it's getting high here.

1460
01:01:43,433 --> 01:01:46,102
Oh oh not over yet.

1461
01:01:46,102 --> 01:01:49,105
Oh what is that. Oh shoot.

1462
01:01:49,405 --> 01:01:50,339
It's really coming through.

1463
01:01:50,339 --> 01:01:53,342
I mean, this is this is this kind of shot.

1464
01:01:53,476 --> 01:01:55,378
Are you excited for.

1465
01:01:55,378 --> 01:01:58,047
I do like, we'll be able
to keep up with that even the entire game.

1466
01:01:58,047 --> 01:02:00,216
It's hard to dislike them because.

1467
01:02:00,216 --> 01:02:01,918
Is he getting the start?

1468
01:02:01,918 --> 01:02:02,985
Oh, I'm not sure. With six.

1469
01:02:02,985 --> 01:02:05,988
Maybe you don't get some wrong

1470
01:02:06,022 --> 01:02:07,290
two with them.

1471
01:02:07,290 --> 01:02:10,293
If you're six
man of the year starter goes up up

1472
01:02:10,460 --> 01:02:13,463
right
I mean us well it's three one Knicks.

1473
01:02:14,063 --> 01:02:15,264
The garden was rocking.

1474
01:02:15,264 --> 01:02:17,533
I mean to have Tatum have his best.

1475
01:02:17,533 --> 01:02:20,436
He didn't miss 42 didn't miss deep threes.

1476
01:02:20,436 --> 01:02:24,807
And like to go out like that
is unfortunate sad stinks I don't want to

1477
01:02:24,807 --> 01:02:26,909
you know I hate it for the Knicks
to win this way.

1478
01:02:26,909 --> 01:02:30,012
But I'm going to take the dub
tomorrow night.

1479
01:02:30,246 --> 01:02:31,114
Came back from three.

1480
01:02:33,716 --> 01:02:35,685
LeBron James

1481
01:02:35,685 --> 01:02:37,520
yeah the 73 win.

1482
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,491
How about against the team with the best
record in the history of the NBA.

1483
01:02:42,291 --> 01:02:45,828
How about I text Ty like hey got the best
record in the history of the NBA.

1484
01:02:46,462 --> 01:02:49,198
He does something
that nobody else had ever done.

1485
01:02:49,198 --> 01:02:53,636
And he led, if I remember in 2016
about the time that you hit me

1486
01:02:53,636 --> 01:02:57,373
in the door, if memory serves,

1487
01:02:57,373 --> 01:03:00,376
he led both teams in rebounds,

1488
01:03:00,877 --> 01:03:04,614
assists, points, steals and blocks.

1489
01:03:04,881 --> 01:03:06,783
Is that like has anybody ever done that?

1490
01:03:06,783 --> 01:03:07,984
That's all right.

1491
01:03:07,984 --> 01:03:08,918

You are sponsoring the podcast.

1539
01:05:13,809 --> 01:05:15,745
Great community. I'm happy to be here.

1540
01:05:15,745 --> 01:05:16,412
Oh, no, I do.

1541
01:05:16,412 --> 01:05:18,547
I think the JCC does provide

1542
01:05:18,547 --> 01:05:21,617
an incredible resource
to where I'm a member of the board.

1543
01:05:22,285 --> 01:05:23,653
Oh, you are have.

1544
01:05:23,653 --> 01:05:26,389
I'm happy to be a part of the finance
committee there.

1545
01:05:26,389 --> 01:05:29,692
But I think it's a great place
to a wonderful place to play basketball.

1546
01:05:29,692 --> 01:05:32,395
Have. No. Yeah. No.
Thank you so much to the J.

1547
01:05:32,395 --> 01:05:33,996
Wonderful people over there.

1548
01:05:33,996 --> 01:05:36,732
Shout out to Brad Drazen.

1549
01:05:36,732 --> 01:05:37,700
He's on the board.

1550
01:05:37,700 --> 01:05:41,971
He was in the league
also a guy, and he was on episode 53.

1551
01:05:42,104 --> 01:05:43,239
Brad Raisin.

1552
01:05:43,239 --> 01:05:46,876
Raisin was the one that Brad
who used to wear the mouthpiece.

1553
01:05:46,976 --> 01:05:47,710
Oh, yeah, he was

1554
01:05:48,811 --> 01:05:50,046
he was nuts.

1555
01:05:50,046 --> 01:05:51,981
You see him on TV? Such a nice guy.

1556
01:05:51,981 --> 01:05:55,084
Nice guy on the court
comes out when the rebound goes up. Yes.

1557
01:05:55,084 --> 01:05:57,153
You're like, I would not know if I'm.

1558
01:05:57,153 --> 01:05:58,554
If I boxed him out, that's fine.

1559
01:05:58,554 --> 01:06:00,122
But if I'm anywhere to the side of him.

1560
01:06:00,122 --> 01:06:01,357
Yeah, he's got the rebound.

1561
01:06:01,357 --> 01:06:04,126
It's okay I remember
he like jumped over my back like, oh.

1562
01:06:04,126 --> 01:06:08,764
So big guy Grayson like two years ago
invited me to breakfast with Josh Malcolm.

1563
01:06:09,532 --> 01:06:12,835
And, we're sitting down reading
and at the end of the breakfast,

1564
01:06:12,835 --> 01:06:16,605
we're just talking was like,
thanks for being a part of it, you know?

1565
01:06:16,639 --> 01:06:17,907
Sorry.
You're on the finance committee now.

1566
01:06:17,907 --> 01:06:18,808
And I said, I'm sorry.

1567
01:06:18,808 --> 01:06:21,744
What?

1568
01:06:21,744 --> 01:06:22,645
You kids, I'm kind of busy.

1569
01:06:22,645 --> 01:06:22,979
The second

1570
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,483
they know you're going to be on
Tuesday. As.

1571
01:06:28,217 --> 01:06:28,951
Okay, great.

1572
01:06:28,951 --> 01:06:31,487
And then it's like, oh, you're
now the head of the audit committee.

1573
01:06:31,487 --> 01:06:33,923
Oh, that's something I've never done
before.

1574
01:06:33,923 --> 01:06:36,325
I can't wait to be a part of that.
Very excited.

1575
01:06:36,325 --> 01:06:40,162
And then like nine months later, like,
all right, you're on the board now.

1576
01:06:41,297 --> 01:06:42,732
That's called being volun told.

1577
01:06:42,732 --> 01:06:44,700
Yeah. No, that's a great strategy Brad.

1578
01:06:44,700 --> 01:06:47,703
Yes, it kind of Volun told

1579
01:06:47,737 --> 01:06:50,740
you were Volun
told you're coming on this podcast.

1580
01:06:51,707 --> 01:06:52,441
Well, let's wrap it up.

1581
01:06:52,441 --> 01:06:54,443
But I don't know if you read my my mug.

1582
01:06:54,443 --> 01:06:55,745
Hold on. Let me sit with this. Great.

1583
01:06:55,745 --> 01:06:57,446
Having tea with you.

1584
01:06:57,446 --> 01:06:59,482
Who's the LeBron?

1585
01:06:59,482 --> 01:07:00,116
What's that say.

1586
01:07:00,116 --> 01:07:01,817
Read that to read
that to everyone at home.

1587
01:07:01,817 --> 01:07:04,820
Police.

1588
01:07:04,820 --> 01:07:06,522
Now read it for real, though.

1589
01:07:06,522 --> 01:07:09,025
This is what the world's best
teacher looks like.

1590
01:07:09,025 --> 01:07:14,463
Yes, yes, like Michael Scott had to buy
that for himself, but that's okay.

1591
01:07:15,431 --> 01:07:17,633
That doesn't make it not true.

1592
01:07:17,633 --> 01:07:19,201
Why lower the credibility?

1593
01:07:19,201 --> 01:07:20,936
I just I'm sure it's there.

1594
01:07:20,936 --> 01:07:21,570
It's in writing.

1595
01:07:21,570 --> 01:07:22,671
So with that being said.

1596
01:07:22,671 --> 01:07:25,007
Oh, hold on, it came with a card.

1597
01:07:25,007 --> 01:07:27,710
Thank you to my friend Zoe.

1598
01:07:27,710 --> 01:07:30,513
This year you've taught me
how to do multiplication fractions

1599
01:07:30,513 --> 01:07:31,747
and to be a good friend to.

1600
01:07:31,747 --> 01:07:33,883
Everyone says it right here.

1601
01:07:33,883 --> 01:07:35,217
Give me your hand. Write it.

1602
01:07:35,217 --> 01:07:37,386
I wrote it with my left hand.

1603
01:07:37,386 --> 01:07:39,288
Do you have a favorite teacher
before we close?

1604
01:07:39,288 --> 01:07:40,823
Favorite teacher?

1605
01:07:40,823 --> 01:07:43,826
Man on the spot.

1606
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,963
Mrs. individual, my fifth grade teacher

1607
01:07:48,197 --> 01:07:51,200
who taught us about the Holocaust.

1608
01:07:51,767 --> 01:07:55,337
And was herself a survivor and,

1609
01:07:56,338 --> 01:07:59,442
you know, she felt like she was 100 back
when I was in fifth grade

1610
01:07:59,608 --> 01:08:02,611
in Tennessee, and she,

1611
01:08:03,012 --> 01:08:04,880
is just one of those teachers that cared.

1612
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,316
And you don't have to go crazy
when you're a teacher,

1613
01:08:07,316 --> 01:08:10,453
but when people know that you care,
it's just a different level.

1614
01:08:11,754 --> 01:08:13,923
Well said it, she cares.

1615
01:08:13,923 --> 01:08:16,659
Oh that's why you're a Titans fan.
We don't have to go there.

1616
01:08:16,659 --> 01:08:18,627
But you're born in Tennessee
and Tennessee.

1617
01:08:18,627 --> 01:08:21,630
Raised in Tennessee.

1618
01:08:21,831 --> 01:08:22,098
All right.

1619
01:08:22,098 --> 01:08:24,767
