00:01All right, that is Darren Drager, TSN, talking about some post-trade deadline drama.
00:08Toronto, oh, right, it's about the Peli thing where he's talking about didn't see the train coming, that kind of
00:15thing.
00:18You should have seen Montreal coming.
00:19I don't know that you should have seen Buffalo coming, but, you know, whatever.
00:22Good to have you with us here.
00:23I am the Bulldog, Nate Geary, in for Mike Shope today.
00:26I want to read you something I stumbled across this morning and just get your thoughts on it.
00:32I am not prepared.
00:34Well, I'll save the disclaimer for after.
00:38I just want to read you this.
00:41This is an item that is available for, I think, people to purchase.
00:46If you are interested, you could purchase this item.
00:51I don't have the whole sales listing, but I just have this little part of the description about this item.
00:57The trow shows visible wear, staining, discoloration, and signs of heavy use consistent with its time in a high-traffic
01:07public stadium.
01:08It has not been cleaned, restored, or modified in any way, preserving its original condition and authenticity.
01:18This item is pickup at Highmark.
01:22Trough.
01:23Trough from the stadium.
01:25I think I read that they've sold 15 of 40.
01:30Something like that.
01:31Or that there's only 15 of 40.
01:34Whatever.
01:3415 and 40 were the numbers that I saw.
01:38The disclaimer is I am not prepared to offer you any information on how to acquire these items.
01:46I don't even know if these are auctions or if they just have a listed price and you can just
01:51agree, you know, buy now kind of thing and then just go get it.
01:54I'm sure you can Google out there if you are interested in this over your Easter brunch conversations with fellow
02:03Bills fans.
02:03You'll be talking about, yeah, that's what we'll be talking about at Easter.
02:05You want urinal troughs.
02:07Troughs.
02:07I like that they really leaned into their, they're still in original shape.
02:12Visible wear, staining, discoloration, and signs of heavy use consistent with its time in a high-traffic public stadium.
02:19Do you think they used AI for that?
02:21Uh, I mean, maybe.
02:25Yeah.
02:25Um, so, look, I am not, I'm not equipped with a room that could accommodate such a dominant piece of
02:38bathroom furniture.
02:39Sure.
02:40Okay?
02:40I mean, I just don't have, I don't have the garage man cave space for this.
02:47If I, if I did, you know, maybe if I lived in a different house, if I lived in the
02:51suburbs and I had that garage or a space above the garage or something like that, I could see the
02:58appeal of having such an item in such a space.
03:03My question would be, while respecting their wanting to allow the trough to, you know, accentuate its authenticity by leaving
03:18the visible wear staining discoloration and not cleaning, restoring, or modifying in any way the trough.
03:26Uh, I assume if you did purchase an item to put it in your garage, man cave bills game place
03:35that you would clean it, right?
03:39I, you would not take that item out of the stadium as it has been used for decades.
03:50Let me ask you this.
03:51Would you not clean it?
03:53Would you, uh, get a game worn Jersey and wash it?
03:58Yeah.
03:59You would.
04:00I think you would buy a game worn Jersey.
04:03I think a piece of memorabilia.
04:05Well, what am I doing with it?
04:07Am I, am I, I'm not wearing it.
04:09No.
04:09No.
04:09Okay.
04:09You're also not you.
04:10I don't think you're using the trough.
04:13No, that's what I'm saying.
04:14Okay.
04:14I think you, you, because you're not, it's okay to what dose it down with a hose.
04:20You think?
04:21I think at the very least, I mean, let me ask you this or let me ask broadly, not you.
04:25I'm, I'm, what does it smell like?
04:27That's the question.
04:29That's why I'm asking like they're, they're, they're, they're punting on cleaning it for you and selling it as,
04:37you know, it's authentic.
04:39Okay.
04:40Gotcha.
04:41Yeah.
04:41Now I'm having that.
04:43That's in my garage.
04:44There's a carpet in there.
04:45Maybe it's one of those AstroTurf jobs, whatever.
04:48Right.
04:48But you got to, this is a screen on the garage door.
04:51Right.
04:51I mean, you're, you live in Cheektowaga, right?
04:53You've got that garage.
04:55Yeah.
04:55Sorry.
04:56Was that, was that, am I in trouble now?
04:58Anyway, um, my, my, this is my dad, my dad has this space.
05:02This is his garage screen, AstroTurf carpet, right?
05:07Kind of junky TV.
05:09West Seneca, Cheektowaga.
05:10Yes.
05:10I got it.
05:11I got it.
05:11I know the space.
05:12So the trough is going in there.
05:14Whether you're going to use it, like, you know, hook it up to plumbing or not is another
05:18matter.
05:19But like, what is that?
05:21Oh, that's a trough from the stadium.
05:23You're cleaning it.
05:24You're going to have people over.
05:25Like, it probably smells fiercely offensive.
05:30But they do have, like, in those things, they've got the, the patties, I believe, if
05:35I'm remembering correctly.
05:37So they've got, they've got.
05:39You mean the toilet mints?
05:40Yeah, yeah, the, yeah, yeah, the, the toilet patties, the urinal patties, you know?
05:44So I like the, it, it provides a pleasant, uh, aroma when it hits your nostril initially,
05:50at least, or like old ones.
05:52Uh, and by the end of the year, though, those, typically they're not changing those out with
05:56a lot of consistency.
05:57So now I want my garage to smell like the, the.
06:00If you're looking for an authentic experience.
06:04I think you've got to clean this thing.
06:06I just.
06:07Okay, but how in-depthly are we cleaning it?
06:09I'm.
06:10A hose?
06:10I'm.
06:11Are you getting in there with rubber gloves and a scrubber?
06:14Yes.
06:14Really?
06:15Yes.
06:15That's worse than just having it out, I think.
06:17That's what has to happen.
06:18You're going to jump into the urinal and you're going to.
06:20I'm going to jump.
06:22I'm stepping in, but I'm putting on rubber gloves, you know, halfway up my forearm.
06:26Absolutely not.
06:26I'm getting a brush.
06:28No.
06:28I may be getting a gas mask and I'm going to, I'm going to work.
06:32I'm going to clean.
06:33I'm going to clean it.
06:33I think part of the beauty of it is that it's going to have a little.
06:38It's going to stink.
06:40It's going to stink.
06:41I think you got to just, I think what a smart person would do is get some new patties.
06:45But then your garage smells like that.
06:48God, have you ever walked into a bathroom where they, they, they just cleaned and they put
06:53new patties in.
06:56It's like someone's got, got an ammonia cloth over your face.
06:59You cannot do that to your space.
07:02What are you doing?
07:03That's a disaster.
07:07So I've either got your choices, your, your plan here, because you don't want to scrub
07:11it down and clean it is either it smells like a stadium trough that was used for 50 years.
07:19Yep.
07:21Or it smells like those, like the, the, no, I know they're not pre-cleaning these things,
07:26but there's a good chance they've been cleaned before.
07:30Like this isn't, well, they're not just, you know, this isn't from, well, let me, okay,
07:36sure.
07:36Week to week they would be cleaned, but the last game gets played.
07:42The stadium is being torn down.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Somebody go in there and clean those that week.
07:47I might sooner want to buy the sinks.
07:52They had probably as much pee in those sinks as there, there's something nice about, so
07:59here's my only, I guess, take against myself in this conversation of needing to clean this
08:03is, you know, where is it on the wall that you're, and you're mounting it on a wall, presumably.
08:09Well, you're, you're mounting it.
08:10I mean, I don't think I'm hanging it, but it's going to, it's going to be on the floor
08:13at a level, backed up to a wall.
08:15You're in a level.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Okay.
08:17Yeah.
08:17Um, my concern would be like, you know, the grandkids in the garage, like walking for
08:24the first time and grabbing onto the.
08:26Right.
08:26Yeah.
08:27This is not an item that you want unsanitized in your, any space in your house.
08:35Yeah.
08:36I guess that's right.
08:37I think, I mean, I, you know, I'm not the cleanest person ever, but I, I just, I just
08:42think there's a certain amount of risk you're taking there.
08:44If you don't, if you don't go to town on it, I mean, maybe you could just power wash
08:49it.
08:49Maybe that would, that would work.
08:51I think if I'm going to get somewhere, it's going to be power washing it in the driveway.
08:55Yeah.
08:56That probably, right.
08:57Maybe.
08:57I probably don't need to scrub brush.
08:59And maybe some, you know, disinfectant.
09:02Oh yeah.
09:02Oh, bleach.
09:03Perhaps, perhaps some bleach.
09:04Yes.
09:05Yeah.
09:05Yeah.
09:06Bleach.
09:07Although you got to make sure, because if that lingers, then you got the same, you got
09:11the same problem you had with the patties.
09:14Yeah.
09:15Like, Oh, you know, you, you do that kind of cleaning in your bathroom.
09:19This happens to me, uh, paper towels, bleach, I'm scrubbing the floor or the toilet or whatever.
09:25And come to work like, Oh, my smell, all I smell on my hands is bleach.
09:32I just can't get it off.
09:33It takes days.
09:35That trough, if you went too hard with the bleach could end up like that.
09:38And that's a problem.
09:39I just don't ever want to talk about a urinal mint ever again.
09:42Cause I've never called it that.
09:43I've never heard it called it.
09:44I've just heard it called a patty, which is also in itself disgusting sounding.
09:49Yeah.
09:49But mint is, well, I, I think that the, the, the, that slang I think comes
09:55from maybe the belief that at some point, some little kid probably thought it was candy.
10:04Maybe we should take a break.
10:05803-0550 is the phone number.
10:10I know.
10:11I am not that kid.
10:12Don't look at me like that.
10:14I am not that kid.
10:15And none of the Parker kids are that kid.
10:16And none of my kids are that kid.
10:18Knowingly.
10:18I'm just saying it seems like the kind of thing that maybe happened to somebody out there.
10:22I'm just, I'm going to leave it ambiguous.
10:25I appreciate that.
10:27It's not me.
10:28Good.
10:29803-0550 is the number.
10:31He's Nate Geary in for Mike.
10:32I am the Bulldog and this is WGR.
