Jacqueline Hanzl (00:08)
Hi, this is Jackie.

Diana (00:09)
Hi, this is Diana.

Jacqueline Hanzl (00:11)
And this is Homebodies Only, where we welcome all bodies to join us as we break down and dissect HBO Max series. this episode, we are talking about Hard Knocks training camp with the Buffalo Bills, episodes one through three. What do you say? Can anybody notice? mean, who's watching? If anybody's listening, you can't see this. You will. Yeah. So you might ask.

Diana (00:28)
I've never been more excited to podcast about something.

You will not see the excitement of what is behind me.

Jacqueline Hanzl (00:40)
Why did you two decide to talk about this? ⁓ It's because Diana grew up in Buffalo and is part of the Bills Mafia Yeah. And so we thought it would be obviously fun to talk about. don't think I had a choice, also, so it's, we thought it would be a great series to talk about because we have Diana who's

Diana (00:42)
Mmm.

That's right. Got chills already.

Jacqueline Hanzl (01:06)
a diehard obviously Bills fan knows about football and then we have me and I did not grow up watching football. I mean, it would be on TV. I cheerleaded for football. Honestly, hate to say, did not know half the time what was happening. Knew what a touchdown was. Knew what they were trying to do. I grew up playing softball. So I really love baseball, but Diana, you know, has, has pulled me in to the Bills. She forced me. Yeah. Which wasn't.

Diana (01:31)
I've forced you over to my house for Bills games. Yes, and now you love

it. You know you do.

Jacqueline Hanzl (01:35)
really a big force. I do. And

I've actually learned more about football because of her. Actually, back my freshman year, you're not going to love to hear this, but one of my good friends, one of my suitemates and good friends still was a Giants fan and she was very into football. And she would explain things to me too. And she would talk about, you know, they have to be graceful. Like some of them take ballet class. I don't know about all of them. I was like, oh, like, you know, just very interesting because you don't think of football players.

Diana (01:42)
So proud of you.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

doing those types of things. Right?

Jacqueline Hanzl (02:05)
playing, yeah, doing ballet, but there

is a grace about it. I all athletes, they have a grace about them, right? I would think. ⁓ Okay, so let's talk about Diana's studio right now. For those of you not watching, I'm sorry, because you need to maybe just click on the YouTube video just for this part. Let's just go into some stuff here.

Diana (02:12)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah, right? I've set up.

I am, this is my setup today. So I have a beer

and it's called, it's a IPA, cause you know I'm an IPA girl, just one before I die. It is, mm-hmm. And it's from ⁓ Brickyard Brewing Company, which is out in Lewiston, which is in Western New York, of course. ⁓ Putting it into my koozie with Dorothy, who's wearing a Bill sweatshirt. Yeah, my.

Jacqueline Hanzl (02:35)
Mm-hmm. And that's the name of the beer, just one before I die. And it has a Buffalo on it.

Dorothy from the Golden Girls, yep.

Diana (02:56)
two worlds collide. ⁓ Two things that I love in this world are the Golden Girls and the Bills. Let's see, have the Flintstones, Go Go Buffalo sign that I could get into a really funny story about it, but I won't. But this thing has, it meant the world for me to get it. And it took a lot for me to get this thing. And shout out to my ⁓ sister-in-law, Rachel, for making it happen. It was the last one. It was a whole thing to get this. So it goes out every...

Jacqueline Hanzl (02:57)
Yes. Mm-hmm.

That's a yard sign.

Diana (03:25)
Game day, my house, we'll say football Sunday, right? But we play games on other nights, obviously, Monday night, Thursday night, whatever. anyway, it goes out, that's the thing. It goes out in the front yard every Bills game. ⁓ What else have we got? My damnit doll. So this, yep, she's been sewn already.

Jacqueline Hanzl (03:40)
⁓ the damn doll. ⁓ I've seen that in action. ⁓ It's, yeah, she

did rip, I think last year. Does she rip every year or?

Diana (03:51)
Well I think that was the first rip. ⁓ who sewed her? Did you sew her for me or did my mom? I can't remember because I don't sew. Maybe Dawn did. Okay maybe she did. Yeah I could still see the stitching.

Jacqueline Hanzl (03:53)
Last year, I got to witness. No, I didn't think it was, I thought it was your sister.

Dawn did

it with the, Dawn did the damn doll. No, that doesn't make sense. Okay. Damn it doll. Sorry.

Diana (04:07)
Don't, did the dammit. I have this because growing

up in Buffalo, right? So I'm 43. So of course I grew up in the one of the best. Yeah, right. But I grew up in one of the best eras of like the nine, like Jim Kelly, Marv Levy, Like ⁓ Andre Reed, Thurman, I'm naming like hall of famers here, but ⁓ I still can picture my mother in, I also have them.

Jacqueline Hanzl (04:17)
How am I younger than you? No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

Mm-hmm.

Diana (04:36)
in her Zuma pants every Sunday. I have her sweatshirt that she would wear all that one of them all the time and I love wearing it. I didn't put that on it's August so I'm hot. But I have my Zuma pants and I wear them and I have no shame. I love these things. And my mom would sit there on the couch and this doll would get a beating, right? It's like part of like, I still can remember it. No, I asked her about her doll.

Jacqueline Hanzl (04:38)
Yes.

Right, it be a little hot.

Mm-hmm.

So you're continuing the tradition. Was that her doll? Was that her doll? Okay, she has her own.

Diana (05:05)
No, it was she's like Diana, like it got torn to shreds. So this

Jacqueline Hanzl (05:05)
Okay. She mangled it. Yeah, she beat it up.

Diana (05:11)
was one that I found. Did I? Yeah, there was a little shop when we were visiting and I found one. was like, oh, my God, they still make them. So I had to buy one, of course. So that always makes me think of my mom. And football said I could still picture like I could smell the taco dip she made. I just remember my dad sitting in the recliner, like all all of that.

Jacqueline Hanzl (05:22)
Yeah. Yes.

Did they both? Right.

Diana (05:34)
going to four Super Bowls in a row and losing the

next day at school. Like I vividly remember all of it. Yeah.

Jacqueline Hanzl (05:40)
Everybody's upset. Did they

both grow up in Buffalo, your parents? Okay.

Diana (05:44)
Yeah, my dad.

So you've got like in Buffalo, right? Not in the city of Buffalo per se, but you have the North towns in the South towns. And my dad grew up in North Tonawanda. ⁓ My mom grew up closer to the city of Buffalo. ⁓ And then when we when we grew up, I grew up in a suburb of Buffalo, Kenmore. And then as we got older, we moved out more north towards Niagara Falls into Wheatfield.

and that's where I went to high school or whatever. ⁓

Jacqueline Hanzl (06:15)
How far from, and you said the stadium, beforehand you told me, the stadium is not in the actual city of Buffalo. It's in, how far is Orchard Park from your parents? 20 minutes, I was just gonna say 20 minutes.

Diana (06:22)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's not actually in the city of Buffalo. It's in Orchard Park.

Everything in Buffalo is 20 minutes away. That's the answer.

It's 20 minutes away. It's like, how far are we? Where are we going tonight? we're going here. I'm like, how far is it? 20 minutes. Like that's it's pretty much like 20 minutes away. And most of the players actually live in East Aurora, which is another neighboring town near Orchard Park, like down there ⁓ and come in, you know, obviously in proximity or whatever. But there's so many stories about ⁓

Jacqueline Hanzl (06:38)
20 minutes, yeah. Okay.

Diana (06:58)
them and in the snow and people you know pitching in to like get the players out or like taking snowmobiles to the stadium and stuff like that so ⁓ but yeah it's kind of that's kind of like the spread so when people are like i'll say like i grew up in Buffalo and they're like well what part you know so you it's it's like that too sometimes you know you might just say like western New York but you know there you go ⁓ and then

Jacqueline Hanzl (07:03)
No. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Diana (07:25)
I got my little people guys back here and then I did get the new set which is awesome because it's he's always in it. You've got Josh Allen, you've got Sean McDermott, you've got Jim Kelly and then Marv Levy who just turned 100 which you heard. Yeah, that's who he called. And then the last thing I'll say is I've got my thanks to my sister. We have a autograph back here.

Jacqueline Hanzl (07:25)
You have your little, those are like Fisher Price, Fisher Price. Nice. Cause Josh Allen's in there. Oh, okay.

Jim. Wow. okay. Yeah. was wishing me happy birthday.

Diana (07:53)
This is actually ⁓ an autographed poster of James Cook, who you did, they did speak about obviously with the contract. This was actually his rookie year when he was 28. Now he's number four before he became number four. This was his rookie year and it's signed and I have official signature, which is really cool. She won it in an auction for me. Yeah. So that, I think that's it for today.

Jacqueline Hanzl (07:58)
Yep. Mm-hmm.

Ooh, nice. Your sister got, she won it. cool. Okay.

There was something else I was going Oh, wanted

to ask you, okay. So just wanted to mention this. It's the way, so when you're in town and you're in, you're in Buffalo, off season or on or during the season of football, do people say go Bills always? It is year round. Okay. And it's how you say bye. Okay.

Diana (08:35)
That's year round, always. It is year round. Absolutely. Or when you pass

somebody, ⁓ you know, here even, like in the Hudson Valley, I'll be out shopping, getting like my stuff on a Sunday if I have my gear on or, you know, people have their gear. If you pass somebody with Bills gear on, go Bills. Or if you see something, right? Like if you have, they have a shirt on or a hat or whatever, and you know, I come in with full, I got the shopping bags, I got.

Jacqueline Hanzl (08:45)
if you see somebody with bills on.

You say go Bills.

Yeah. Yeah.

Diana (09:02)
I mean, I'm glaring. got the sunglasses. I mean, the whole get up. Yeah. And then it's funny to pass like other people, especially if you pass like a Chiefs fan or obviously Jets, Giants in our area, Pittsburgh. I see the same people at the grocery store every weekend with like the same. So I love passing like the same people in their Buffalo gear. There's a guy at Target actually that pushes the carts.

Jacqueline Hanzl (09:06)
They're like, do you like the bills? What? ⁓

God, there's like some cursing.

With the same. That's funny.

Diana (09:31)
I haven't seen him there in a while so I don't know where he is but he wears a Bills hat all the time and he always says go Bills to me when I walk by there too because he knows but anyway.

Jacqueline Hanzl (09:35)
Nice. Aw. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, you know, if you can, if you don't like the Bills, you have to respect the fans and the culture. That's what I'm saying. Like people can be like, you know, against, you have to respect it. You can, and if you're annoyed at it, you're jealous. Sorry. I mean, obviously I'm a Yankee fan. I see other Yankee fans. Sometimes maybe people are like go Yanks or.

Diana (09:47)
I appreciate it. Absolutely.

Mm-hmm.

Jacqueline Hanzl (10:04)
I like your shirt, I like your hat, but there's not that passion, know? Yeah. And bonding. Yeah.

Diana (10:08)
respect or that yeah I mean Buffalo's known as the city of good neighbors for a reason. ⁓

We we really do have the best fans in I mean they it's and it goes beyond I mean worldwide I mean if you follow any sort of Bills Mafia on social media people are checking in from all over the world especially on game day and stuff like that too so it's just really cool or the way that the Bills Mafia comes together to take over.

Jacqueline Hanzl (10:31)
Mm-hmm.

Diana (10:38)
cities for away games. The following, the same people and you know like Florida for example is like they take over like down like in Miami they'll take over the whole strip down there. Flags, everything and they just just take over the entire bar scene down there or whatever for away games. I'm like how did he like not allowed like not allowed sometimes. We're like

Jacqueline Hanzl (10:40)
I'm sure.

That's so funny.

Diana (11:05)
I love it. What do you do for a living though? Like where you can go to every single awake.

Jacqueline Hanzl (11:08)
That's what I want to know. Like a group, like, you

know, I mean, not to compare, but like deadheads or like people who follow bands on tour and go to like every concert. You're like...

Diana (11:15)
Mm-hmm

Yeah Right, like I would love to know And some people just go to one, you know, I know people that are like we're going to this away game this year like I Yeah Yes, whether they get there on a bus a plane or whatever. They show up. It's it's it's awesome. It's so cool. So anyway

Jacqueline Hanzl (11:21)
And how do you afford this? Yeah.

Right, right, right, right. But there's always a lot, but there's always just a lot. Yeah, I love it.

All right, well, I guess let's get into episode one. ⁓ We were talking about this. We don't have like, we just have takeaways, I guess. And it comes from your perspective and my perspective. ⁓ This is obviously when they come to St. John Fisher University. I was talking to you about this before. I think that's really cool. They're one of five teams that go to a college. I had forgotten and my dad reminded me, I'm like, my God, I can't believe I forgot. The Giants were going to SUNY Albany.

Diana (11:40)
Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Jacqueline Hanzl (12:07)
when I went there. They were doing training camp at SUNY Albany and it was exciting. I did go one time, I remember, to watch. I was like, this is really cool. They obviously stopped and I don't know if they still go to another college.

Diana (12:09)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

No, a lot of so I believe the teams the five teams are obviously the Bills the Rams the Chiefs the Chargers and the Steelers I think those are the five teams that still or did at least this year Where they move in and I mean it's for the Bills It's two and a half weeks and they are there and then they go, you know Obviously you saw a little bit of that like going out for ice cream. We'll talk about that, which was really cool. ⁓ my god. Love him ⁓

Jacqueline Hanzl (12:29)
Okay.

Yeah. my God, they're so cute.

Diana (12:48)
But it's really cool. I actually have a friend whose daughter's, I mean, I've had friends that their kids have gone to St. John Fisher, but is going there now as a freshman. So that's really cool too. It's super psyched about that and kind of going to the same places and, but going to training camp, I actually have never gone ⁓ to training, but I have friends that have obviously taken their kids and have gone and. ⁓

Jacqueline Hanzl (12:55)
Mm, okay, ooh, nice.

Hmm. Yeah.

Do you have to,

I can't remember, because we went to the Giants. Do you have to like pay for something ahead of time? Or do you have to like, I forgot, I don't know, I'm trying to remember. Yeah, yeah.

Diana (13:15)
Yeah, I don't know. I'm sure that there's tickets and stuff like that because they have to, you're at capacity or whatever. ⁓

We did, since it's in one of the episodes, we went to the preseason game in Buffalo this year, which was so much fun and we brought our kids. So it was really cool.

Jacqueline Hanzl (13:23)
talk about it. Yeah. That's really cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. So I do want me to start with just, mean, we might have some of the same things that we thought were funny. ⁓ well, I have a football question. So Dawson Knox is the tight end. Please tell me what a tight end does.

Diana (13:35)
Yeah, let's go.

Mm-hmm. ⁓

Jacqueline Hanzl (13:49)
First of all, to me, it's the funniest name. mean, and see, I wouldn't think that. I think he's a defense because he has to be tight and he's got to be in there. ⁓

Diana (13:50)
So it's offense. So he.

Yeah, so he you know, there's a lot there right because they might have to block right? They might get

the ball like they might have to go out for a pass, right? So so guys like Dawson Knox or if you also Dalton Kincaid He's the other one and you saw him in the episode two young guy. ⁓ Like they they sometimes have to it depends what the play is, but they might have to block right? They're they're they're bigger guys These are the Travis Kelce is a titan, right? So they might look

Jacqueline Hanzl (14:25)
⁓ okay.

Diana (14:25)
not like a wide receiver, like it's kind of like, yeah, they're meaty so they can get through too. ⁓ So it depends on the play. Whereas your wide receivers are typically your slender, sometimes taller guys that are running like those routes and they are like going. ⁓ It's a little bit different for the tight ends too. But yeah, it's a.

Jacqueline Hanzl (14:32)
Mm-hmm. Okay.

You

There you go. Yeah.

Okay. Well, I mean,

he was the dude who had the carry on for two weeks. just, that whole thing was very funny and his wife's like, what? Like, yeah.

Diana (14:54)
⁓

fun

fact about his wife she's actually from Buffalo. ⁓ Yeah she went to ⁓ gosh where did she go? I feel like she might have went to like a like a like one of the Buffalo academies but she's she's born and raised in Buffalo ⁓ so that's really cool and she's obviously grew up she grew up a Bills fan so and they're about to have a baby yeah yeah she's pregnant

Jacqueline Hanzl (15:00)
and he's not. Is that how he met her?

That's cool.

Yeah. Ooh. wow.

Okay. The fugly red Tesla truck. That was just funny. I've never seen a red one. I mean, we have them around here, but they're always that silver bronze. It's a weird, yes. Yeah, like a stainless steel. Yeah, that funny. KJ Hamler using a pregnancy pillow. I just thought that was funny, but smart. Like, hello, just cause you're, you know, it's a comfortable.

Diana (15:26)
⁓ huh.

that like refrigerator, like fingerprint gray, stainless steel. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jacqueline Hanzl (15:48)
position. ⁓ also like how they went from Taron Johnson talking about the toilet paper because he had to bring extra toilet paper to Damar Hamlin talking about a spirituality. I was like that could have been done on purpose. Yeah, it was that was great. Yeah, shout out to the, you know, editing and production team of this show. ⁓ Obviously they have a lot of money and the human power behind it, but I couldn't believe I did not know I had no clue they were filming in real time and like

Diana (15:54)
Yeah. Well, great segue.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Jacqueline Hanzl (16:17)
getting them out there and they're,

the filmography is great. The music, it gets you pumped up. Like you get chills. I got chills and so many. Yeah. I mean, and I'm, you know, I'm not, I'm not in the Bills Mafia. don't think just yet. Almost maybe we'll see. Okay. ⁓ I wrote, now I don't really remember the Pittsford Farms ice cream. Like I must've just liked the, yeah.

Diana (16:25)
As soon as it started. As soon as it started. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

get you a table don't worry we'll baptize you

So he goes there. How

cool was that? Right? So that place is awesome by the way. A lot of locals go there obviously and they go there during the training camp.

Jacqueline Hanzl (16:47)
Yeah. Yeah.

Is that by St. John Fisher College then, obviously? Okay.

Diana (16:57)
Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. And you're like close to like Rochester and stuff like that. So you'll see sometimes they're they like pop into the local Target or whatever and people take pictures with them and they're like shocked, know, because they got to get stuff too. Can you imagine just

Jacqueline Hanzl (17:01)
Okay.

can't even imagine and they're so noticeable. It's

not, I'd like. How could you not? Yeah.

Diana (17:13)
Right? ⁓

so that, so that actually is so funny when that came up with the sundae. Actually I was like then craving like an ice cream sundae. I'm like I want to go somewhere. I want to go to the Jolly Cow and be like, can you get a couple of cookies and more? I'm not. I used to be. I'm not. It's like once a year I'll get like a create a hankering for something. But yeah. So he, that, that sundae after all that, like that's on the menu now. So.

Jacqueline Hanzl (17:23)
Mm-hmm.

And you're not even an ice cream person. You're not, yeah. Which I don't understand you, but okay.

I can eat ice cream all year long. Okay.

Diana (17:43)
If you're ever down that way, go order. Go order it because it's on the menu officially. Genius. That looks so good. Definitely. Yeah. Definitely.

Jacqueline Hanzl (17:44)
Okay. Okay. All right. I will. Okay. If I'm down that way, it'll probably be with you. I doubt I'll be heading there. Okay.

Then I have the scooters. ⁓ Just, that was great. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I know. It was great. ⁓ Do they have a guesstimate of the new stadium? Will it be?

Diana (17:59)
KJ Hamler again with the scoony. I watched that part twice because I was like crying.

Next season.

This is the last season. Yeah, this is the last season. So when we went, and I know I sent you some pictures too, I think. ⁓ Obviously Hard Knocks was filming. Yeah, but to see it in person.

Jacqueline Hanzl (18:12)
Next season, it is next season. That's what I thought. Okay. I don't know why I didn't know that. All right.

sent me some videos. Yeah, they were filming.

Mm. Yeah.

Diana (18:30)
Like

that is a, that stadium is a beast. It was so cool. Like chills, like when you're there and you see the old, you're like walking up to the old stadium and it's like right there. It's so cool. And I love that they did that like tour. So we got to watch Josh like go through and stuff like that. And like, you know, like all like what they're talking about with like the wind and the sound and all of that, like I cannot wait. That's going to be wild. But it was really, it was like massive.

Jacqueline Hanzl (18:33)
like a massive.

So the new one's right there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah.

Diana (18:59)
That thing stuck out. made it look like our old stadium was like... Like I remember going there back in high school. We would have, like once you got to the section games and all of that, like for high school football, like being able to go to Ralph's... Yeah, we'd go to the Ralph for like that, like the section playoff or whatever. So that was like, it was really cool. like now, like seeing it and like going there again and... Obviously I've been to Bills games before, but...

Jacqueline Hanzl (19:04)
like poopy. ⁓

Mm-hmm. Do a play on there?

that's so cool. Mm.

Yeah, looks like nothing.

Yeah.

Diana (19:28)
it like looking at the new stadium it almost like makes the old one look like it's like some like recreational like it's it was so cool so cool there it's funny i was talking about that with my family when i was home and they've been all kinds of stories about what they're turning it into so i mean I heard anything from like some at one point like a soccer thing

Jacqueline Hanzl (19:37)
Right. Like a baby thing. What are they gonna do with the old one, you think?

Diana (19:57)
to something else and so I don't know what's going on with that or what kind of venue it'll be so stay tuned. Demolish it or that was another rumor. Yeah so I actually I haven't seen anything lately pop up about that but I'm sure as it gets closer like we'll hear more about what they end up doing with it. my god. Okay so.

Jacqueline Hanzl (19:57)
⁓ okay. It'll be nice if they use it and not like, if it just sits there or gets knocked down. ⁓ God, yeah. We'll see.

Yeah. Okay. What do you got? What's your takeaways?

Diana (20:19)
watching the Josh Allen highlights, like how can you not just get shivers? Like all of that, like I was just like any hype video always I'm like, I'm super, like we're what two weeks out from like our home opener here. And I'm like, like, can't wait, like getting all this stuff together. was like, ⁓ I can't wait for football. He's so.

Jacqueline Hanzl (20:23)
yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yep.

Yeah, no, it makes me look forward

to, I love the fall. Like I love the weather. School starts in the fall. Not, you know, it's a little like, and you know, and then everything's gonna get cold. But honestly, being into football, paying more attention to it and stuff, it makes me excited, more excited for it. So it's something to look forward to.

Diana (20:43)
Yeah, I know.

So I've already transitioned into two. He's another guy. He went to, I think it's Lancaster High School. ⁓ And I feel like he went to another college, but he did end up going to UB.

Jacqueline Hanzl (21:55)
