In this episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill and Dan welcome Greg Connors to the studio for a lively and insightful conversation. Bill kicks off by sharing some personal reflections, realizing he's getting older because small nuisances like gum on the sidewalk, dog feces, and meaningless graffiti really get under his skin. He recounts a recent experience where he nearly confronted two young men he suspected of defacing a garbage can outside the studio, and wonders if he should have intervened. Greg shares his own perspective, explaining why he would’ve spoken up, even if it meant involving the police.

The conversation then shifts to football as Bill and Greg discuss their takeaways from the recent Bills vs. Steelers preseason game, which they watched together. Greg, now adjusting to life as an empty nester, gives a detailed analysis of the game after watching it again the next day.

The tone becomes more serious when Bill brings up a tragic news story from Rochester, where a young woman lost her life in a shooting. This leads to a powerful discussion with Rochester Police Captain Frank Umbrino about bail reform. Bill explains the theory behind the reform, while Captain Umbrino offers candid insights into its real-world impact. Greg, a lawyer, adds depth to the conversation by discussing how different judges interpret the law, highlighting the broader implications for society and what can be done to drive change.

The episode also explores Netflix's "Keeper Test"—a daily evaluation tool used by managers to assess whether they would fight to keep an employee if they wanted to leave. Greg shares his thoughts on this practice from the perspective of a law firm owner, while Bill questions if applying this test to our personal lives could help us improve.

The discussion rounds off with a debate on parenting and success, touching on the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" theory. Greg and Bill compare how they grew up to how they’re raising their own kids, exploring the impact of work ethic, privilege, and the challenges facing the next generation.

Plus, the guys respond to a listener's request for advice—don't miss their candid and entertaining take on it all! Enjoy this engaging episode of Billified!
