I felt like for the last two days we've just been missing that, just that little we're just like not enough skins on the wall like there and and fine, but almost like needed that pit stuff, you know, change the tires, oil, change ladies and gentlemen. Mike Siroy is back in the building. Thank you. It's fantastic. The hot boys are back on top. Kay My fellas, Hey fellas, good morning. How are we doing well? How are you men? You're alive, I'm good you survived below
below and Canada. You're the Nickel City, ninja, I think I love it. What's Nickel City? Is that a nick? Oh? Buffalo? Nicol Man? Has it ever been called that? They call it the Queen City, which I always thought was I'm no, what the hell I know? Uh man, I should know this? Is it not Saint Louis? Huh no? Something? Is most known as the Queen City Cincinnati, Charlotte. Charlotte's not the Queen City. It's dal Earnheart City. That is dale
Earnheart City. Cincinnati has been known as the Queen City. By the way, welcome back, handsome, thank you? Are you serious? Yeah? Since at least eighteen nineteen. The nickname first made it in the newspapers. It was probably already passed around on the streets. It was founded in seventeen eighty eight, the Queen of the West City. Yeah, and then, but I guess Buffalo goes by that as well, the Queen city. Second largest city in New York? Is it? There's no way, right,
I guess there could be. And it's not all that big of a city. Yeah, it doesn't seem that big. Of Albany's not that big of a city though they don't have it. Do you have any day? Have any good cities in New York? Saratoga? Saratoga's cool, right, I don't know upstate? You know upstate? You know upstate? It is the second largest. It's funny. Yeah, New York City has almost eight million people. Buffalo comes in at number two, two hundred and seventy four thousand.
Yeah, well that's just wild, weird and wild. When you'll get home. I got home at about midnight Monday night, Tuesday morning. Is this just a judgment on if I should have come in yesterday and worked. Is that what we're not a bit? We were talking yesterday about how genius you are taking it extra day applauding the decompression day. Yeah, I mean, dude, I was kicking myself or coming. I got home like eight o'clock when I got back from Green Bay eight o'clock Monday night, and I
was like, Tuesday morning. I should have taken Tuesday off. New York only has five cities in its state with populations over one hundred thousand people. Okay City, buff Albany probably all No, not Albany. Albany is ninety seven thousand, Sarato Spring, Syracus QS missing two, Rochester, roch At three. Let's the start with. You'll get it if I give you the why Youngstown No oh young Uh, yale Yonkas Yankas really yeah, two hundred
and six thousand and Yankas. Interesting did We landed in Buffalo crazy and got off, got our rental car in the cart. It was about eleven forty pm on Friday night. Mm hmm. And I'm frantically looking on my phone for liquor stores and what the rules are here? You know, obviously we got some odd liquor store rulings here and what time it sures is everything? But we're going on airbnb. We have nothing, you know, we're pumped. We just got the Buffalo, but we're not gonna go out and rip
it up. We got a huge weekend planned, but we want some drank for the for the Airbnb. And I can find all these liquor stores, most of them closed, close closes, and then one's open till midnight. Even then, I'm like, all right, we sure it's not just a misprint, you know, I would one be open. Fifteen of them were clothes. And we drive pitch black. You know, I don't know the
first thing about Buffalo. And we are in a neighborhood. Hell yeah, and we pull up to this liquor store or did you stand out a little bit? Yeah? Yeah, we pull up to this liquor store. In there Hispanics. There are at least like a dozen people at eleven fifty two pm, like huddled around the front of the liquor store. I don't know what they're up to, but they're were they were they throwing dice. I didn't see dice, but you got the right vibe. Did you bring your
beautiful girlfriend in the okay, in the store with you? And if so, my Joe just came on, help that go. So we pull up kind of behind and some cars that were all also parked for the lequer store. And you're blasting the Cotton Eyed Joe. Yeah, we're playing Cotton Eye Joe and we have synchronized dance going followed up by Freeze Frame. It's fun. The widest songs ever Freeze Frame. I just referenced the Jay Giles band.
Yeah, six oh six in the morning. I'm not ready for that, but I know we can't make it any other liquor store, So this is it. I'm like, and I am not. I am a big faith in humanity guy, Trust believe, I haven't. I'm comfortable. But I was like, I don't know. We can wait till tomorrow. Yeah, we don't have to drink tonight. And I'm like all right, I'm going. And Cash was driving. I'm like, you just stay here, keep it running. And the girls, the girls are in the back.
I'm like, no, no, no, I got duck. Did Crena, Krina? Did Christina ask if these guys knew the Commodore's. She didn't interact with them. But I'm like, all right, I'm going. And the I mean, Cash wouldn't say anything, but the girl Mary, who's the smartest among us. It's like, don't don't go because you don't know. I have no idea where I am in Buffalo or what you know. I'm like, all right, now I'm going. And for some reason, Mary's like take your hat off. I'm like yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I'm like, wait, why do we just have that issue? Is that you're bald as your heart as right? Maybe yeah, or a Nazi or of skinhead, which would probably get your ass kicked more right. It's hard to tell, but where you agreed real quick that that was a good strategy, like in a flash. For some reason, I don't, I don't, I don't look. I'm assuming that this, this group of folks that were huddled up outside the convenience store didn't look like maybe what you would
see at the the Hillcrest seven eleven across from SMU. Not that at eleven fifty, not that vibe. No, that can seem dangerous too sometimes, Yeah, I'll tell you what. It may not. I don't know if it's as dangerous, but it's twenty thousand times more annoying. Yeah, you're gonna someone's going to ask you for money. Well, so I get out of the car and I did kind of chest out, a little shoulders back, not looking hard, but I was trying to look hard. Neutral hat
on or off? Had off? No idea why, but that did seem to make sense. It was weird how quickly I agreed with her, like, yeah, had off. Now I will say I was not a dolphin hat either, which then yes, and we'll get to a lot of that later. I had some funny stuff yelled at me as we went to support the Miami Dolphins who played the Buffalo Bills last Sunday, like cash travel with a dolphin hat. I'm like, that would have been something that stands out.
But anyway, I go, had off, go in. I don't even feel like there was too much headway or anything, but a breeze into the store and we are talking bulletproof glass like covering all the liquor everything. You you just walked into this like shoot on the left side of the store, and then every all the bottles were on all the bottles were on the right and everything was kind of hidden, and there were some people in there screaming at the employees. Oh I've seen this before and it was a liquor
store, yeah, or was it like a convenience store. No, No, it was a liquor store. It looked a little different because you couldn't touch any of the liquor. You couldn't get to any liquor. You were just walking down this encased sort of glass room. You saw ten you ordered your handle of cutty sart. Okay, so and uh Mary and Cristina wanted Chardonay. What And I'm like, I'm just getting some whiskey. So I
got to the front of line. I mean nothing, essentially, nothing happened, but yeah, I just like, can I just have a Jack Daniels. So I'm like, I'm not gonna have you find the Woodford here or put any special orders. Just give me something. I know, you know where it is. It's quick. And I got a medium bottle of Jack Daniels and then some wine which was only boxed is all they had. And I think I said through the glass, like do you have anything in a
bottle? Anything in glass? And he's like, bigger size, and I'm like, no, just whatever you're touching, I'll take that a Chardonnay box and uh slid the card like through the maze of bulletproof plastic however that works, and you'd be on to sweat. I was fine, although it took a lot longer than I than I expected. So I did text Cash. I'm like, all good, I'm good. Yeah, because I'm like, they're freaking out in the car right now, because we've reached the six seven
minute mark. It's a long time just getting two things in a store, right yeah, and then you know, get my stuff and I'm like, all right, we're halfway home. I did pull the move of I held through the bag the Jack Daniels bottle by the neck of the bottle. Good just in case I needed to go some bam bam and pebbles on anyone. It's funny, but it gave me a weapon as I left the liquor store. In your mind, when you're you know, hat off, maybe hoodie
up around the neck, chest out, walking in your scowl. In your mind, you're thinking you look pretty kick ass. But the reality of it, if we had been filming, he probably looks more like slow motion Bill Belichick running floppy boobs. Yeah, it's a cool song playing in my head is a kind of hey, hey guys, some boys big golf. Huh
did you big gulp? Did you big gulf them big golf, but I ordered whatever was easy to grab, quick to get out of there, and most of the crowd out front had dispersed by the time I departed anyway, so no problems at all. A couple of head whips on the way back to the car, at them, at you, at me? You know I was head down the other Yeah, and then get back in the car, opens up the jack. Yeah. You didn't feel compelled to order any connak there? No, No, I didn't know that was maybe front and
center. Yeah I love it, Yeah, I love it. And then we love that adventure for you, you're the weirdest non adventure because it was great and everyone was fine, but they were like, in the daytime, would we have withou? Have been scarier? Even because we don't know you don't. I was thinking that you flying to Dallas, who knows what takes you where? And maybe you gotta airbnb somewhere we didn't intend, you know, And dude, totally could end up somewhere where It's not a great idea
to hop out of your car. And gentlemen, how did you find the liquor store? Just kind of phone was the closest one c open liquor store? Again. We got in the cart eleven forty and I could tell that midnight was the cutoff anywhere. And if you're in an unknown neighborhood and there's folks around that you especially in a group that you just don't know, it has nothing to do what their background or ethnicity is, you know. No, I just felt just uncomfortable. I have no clue where I am.
I just sped from the airport to the closest liquor store and it, you know, and then it turns a while to drive out of there, and unnecessary evil. If you're ever going somewhere, even if you're staying in a hotel, you got to find the liquor store. Yeah, if you're a drinker, and yeah, it's alice kind of a bummer that you got to do it the first thing you do when you get into town. But this is almost a ride of passagers. Hey, the trip is underway, yea.
And I will say that box wine, they didn't hate it, and it lasted a long time. So that is the ladder of wine in the interior of the box. Get a whole weekend out of it. I think they did like a medium size. Yeah, it's like a three liter bottle of coke? Uh what have more tails? From the shores of Lake Erie at eight am from as Mike does below. So you toartched the Rangers yesterday. The Rangers one eight, I'm sorry, four to nothing. We'll go
into that at seven. There's some crazy things that happened on that broadcast with The Finger, Sean McDonough and others. I asked some audio from that, and my god, we got a dub. Were you aware that KT's nickname for him was the Finger. I heard that, and I heard him bring up a picture yesterday and show you and you he looks like a like a like an index finger. I've never heard of a guy who wanted not be there more than him yesterday. You can tell that he was pissed that he
got a signed drop. I can't. I feel he just ranting about the catwalk up there. But man, that was fun good four nothing. Two o'clock. I just got my wisdom teeth pulled. So I was sitting on the couch going me, don't be you smarty baseball. Is that any wisdom teeth talk mixed in today? Or no? Uh no, we're good. I mean you got two wisdom teeth. The anche yesterday. Yeah, you are a war daddy. Doctor Ted is a war daddy. He did it. Yeah, I ain't full a thing. How many shots? Oh,
like shoot up real good? Yeah, but like crazy you just feel the shots. No, you're breathing some of that sweet gas. I did. I turned it down. Actually what I said, And I said, I said, did Danny take the gas? And he goes, I don't think he did. No, I did, for sure. For their wisdom teeth, man, he goes, I don't think he did. I said, I don't need chasing. So he has my two wisdom teeth. We'll see what he does with them. I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
Once I got a little source, so you know, I got home. I didn't take a nap before I went to the dentist. Is a twelve thirty appointment off at ten, you know, out of here it whatever time. And then get home and I was like, yeah, I really don't
think sleeping is a good call. So I ended up getting it handled and I got home, turned the game on and right when it's starting at two o'clock, locked in and happy till about the top of the ninth or bottom of the ninth we put Chapman in what should be the biggest roller coaster ride of the game. He was eight. Oh, he was the eighth. Okay, that's when I fell asleep in bottom of the eighth on my couch. I just passed out sitting up, and then when I woke up,
I heard. I was like, but I started texting him and he's like, you're You're fine. Here's what we're gonna do, and he has the the secret to success, and here we are the pill cocktail of pills, the cocktail of pills. Yeah it's great. And it was over the couch and stuff you had. Yeah, it's the tail and all ad wible speedball. Yeah it works too, man. Yeah, two medicines that do two different things. Credible and I felt good. Kevin said it was so great.
I think I'm gonna just do this every day. You know, if your your liver and kidneys would love that. But wow, it's a nice thing, different than what I already do to them. Tomorrow night at our big party in the Engla, the Freak Anniversary Party, six am crew, I want someone listening right now. That was like on the fence, who are not coming to right now? Commit to yourself and to us that you're going to be there tomorrow. If they did that, I might give them
concert tickets. I'd love to talk to somebody on the phone that is committed for sure to coming. That happens to wake up every day with us knuckleheads at six am, because we do start our show every day at six am. Mikey, Yes you did know that, right? Yes? Okay, very much? What number would one call, Danny? Oh? I don't know two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one ninety seven to

But if you if you win contra tickets and you say you're gonna go, your asked better be there if we promise will

Win four tickets to this awesome Italian fest from keV Oh. Yeah, things are looking up and I don't think I want

You gotta convince the why for right someone who's just on the fence or not going, but but could go. Let us convince you you should dress this caveot at the thing. It's a meat. You can have a pocket full of tickets to the Italian Festival and just give them away. I usually do this in a full pack. Today I do them as one, no email,

Hell, yeah, man, you're gonna go. Did you say what you did? Or now no you didn't. Yeah? What do you do for a living? Dude? I'll
work for Southwest Airlines? Oh nice? What do you do? Yeah, I'm a pilot for them, but also work in their training center as well, developed a pilot training and help out with all that huge effort. So nice? Can I ask you something you don't have to answer? Sure? My friend says that if he claims that he has a peanut allergy when he gets on Southwest and then they let him board like first or early is there a big peanut allergy situation with Southwest? So you know, not that I'm
really aware of. And if I understand right, I don't work early in the provisioning side. But I don't think we have the peanuts in that snack mix. Yeah, see that's what I thought. Yeah, to combat it, I thought they got rid of the peanuts in the snack mix. But the people who use this peanut plan to get in the A group still somehow can pull it off. I don't know. You just focus on that turn you're trying to make right, Mark. Interesting. Yeah, it's an interesting
hack right there. Mark. Do you have to fly anywhere today or just kind of hanging out? Not today? No, that I'm in the office. Have you ever had to fly into that Caribbean airport where the beach ends like one foot before the runway starts. No, no, I've seen the videos, So yeah, that's that's that's pretty impressive stuff. And the folks are hanging on that fence. I don't know about that. That's crazy,
doesn't it. Where the planet is blowing girls tops off as they're trying to Do you get emailed your schedule the flights or do you just driving in. No, no, no, they give us some heads up on that emailed. That's a great question. How do you know you can just be driving to work and guys, I might have to go to Charlotte today, I may have to go to Nevada. Check the whiteboard when you get in like
yay. So no, but because of sleep restrictions and whatnot, you know at least a day or a couple of days before where you're going to be heading. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, there's always published schedules and even you know the folks that we have and this is all our lines really our reserve cruise there. The month is published, so you kind of know when you're time of responsibility, when you can get called is obviously all the rest restrictions
are built into that as well, so it's it's a predictable schedule. Is there a tricky domestic airport to land in. Yeah, not really in particularly, I mean each airport has its own features, and you know, out west, as you get up into the mountainous areas, obviously there there's some different features that had on the East coast, where you know, up in the northeast you get a little bit more busy airspace. So each one kind
of has its own unique characteristics. But yeah, you know, that's part of what we trained for, part of what we prepare for, part of what Mark. I think it's successful. Huh, you have a pretty pretty cool sounding voice. Mark, But I do wonder do you use your normal voice when you get on the intercom and talk to the cabin or do you
change it up a little bit? You know, I always think it's my usual voice, but people who have known me that have blown in the back, it's that I definitely switched up and are not turn on the captain boy. So I can't verify that. Of course. You know, it's hard to hear what you what you sound like yourself, but hey, you know apparently I do. Let's let's play a game. Let's have some fun with it. Mark. Let's pretend that you need to make an announcement. Yeah,
cabin, right, no, announce if you can for us? Mark? Yeah, yeah, alert your passengers. Who's everyone listening that they need to attend the Echo Lounge this Thursday for the Freak birthday party. But do it like a captain would do it? Absolutely? Yeah, all right, here we go, you ready, right? I give any ladies and chill I just wanted to alert all our preaching lends out there. Riding along with us today to the Echo Lounge destination put me putting on quite a show.
I don't expect any turtuos. This should be a nice, smooth party here on Thursday night. Spots by the Freak, and I just like to give a shout out to the break or their first birthday congratulations for now like to invite yell to sit back, relax, and get ready to party on Thursday night without that the freaking I go lounge. You're a beast. God give this man Italian food something? Do you want to Italian food? Or do you want to go to that concert? Hey? Why not? Fall?
