Oh, hello there everybody. I've got to let you know in addition to the dates that I have coming up that I'm going to say at the top of the show San Francisco

October 26 just went on sale two day. So if you can buy tickets to that San Francisco October 26th cops comedy club, but that's not the reason I'm coming on here truthfully.

The reason I'm coming on and interrupting the beginning of the show is because unfortunately I taped this show earlier than I normally would because I was coming home here to Buffalo.

See my friends and family a little bit do my fantasy football draft, which is very important to me.

And upon arriving I was faced with the news that Rick Generette has passed away.

And man, I am absolutely gutted to the I mean I couldn't have the show happen without acknowledging this because I mean this man is the soundtrack to my childhood.

I wouldn't be doing the things that I do today if it weren't for Rick Generette. I mean I was a little kid and I would play NHL 95.

I remember vividly playing NHL 95 on Sega Genesis screaming to the top of my lungs pretending I was Rick Generette calling the games.

And my mom yelling at me from the other room being like, what the hell are you doing?

I remember playing roller hockey in my driveway with my friends and doing the same thing and I mean it's just it's brutal.

I mean he was 81 years old he had a great life.

You know my thoughts and good vibes are with his family and friends of course.

And it is kind of bittersweet being here in Buffalo when this happens I don't like being like arriving here and having that be the thing I arrived to the city for.

But it is nice to be here to kind of mourn with the city.

You know over at the Keybang Center I'm staying just kind of I'm staying kind of nearby there I'm staying downtown.

And at the Keybang Center they have already put up some memorial things that people are putting out flowers and stuff.

And the sounds of Rick Generette are just like echoing through the streets because they're playing them on the like speakers outside the stadium.

So that's been really nice. It's kind of crazy. I mean just go outside you can just kind of hear it.

And you know I don't many of you obviously not hockey fans not even say I mean you're not savers fans let alone you know.

No one even watches fucking hockey.

But you know this guy men a great deal to me and so I couldn't let the show go on without acknowledging it.

So I wanted to come on here and kind of just tell you and say something about it because boy oh boy did he ever impact on my life.
