at us, Look at us.Who would have thought not me? Two
(00:44):
oh five is our time, fiveminutes past two pm Central daylight time.
According to the Tower of the FriendlyMerchant. Your turner is set to ninety
(01:07):
seven one the Freak. And thisis the speakeasy, warmest greetings to each
and every one of you, nomatter where you are, no matter how
you may be receiving this radio transmission, we do hope that you're doing it
by the regular standard terrestrial radio method, and that should you ever have the
(01:36):
chance to write that down somewhere,we'd appreciate it if you'd take advantage of
that opportunity. It is Monday,the twenty second of April. I would
be Mike Reiner, joined today byJulie Dobbs. Hello, Hello over there,
(01:59):
the how many should be hello?Hello? Now, you will note
something's wrong because we don't normally goin that order for certain metaphysical reasons.
(02:19):
None of us could possibly comprehend.But there was no omission. And for
those who are fans of the CavsFree Day, it is going to be
a very big day for you,because he is not with us. Today.
But look who is with us todayas we worry about those who are
(02:40):
here and not those who are not. It is T. C. Fleming
once again, so wonderful to dowith you, guys, this understanding.
Jeff is on the toilet right now, right probably probably, well. I
hope things are going okay for him, regardless of whether he's there. Maybe
(03:02):
things are exiting via another portal.What did what did your mom call it,
Julie? Fair belly? Fair belly. He's suffering from a bad case
of fair belly. Fair belly.Is that fair is in the state fair?
Yeah, okay, it's in thestate fair or really any fair.
But basically the idea is that youyou go out there and you eat and
(03:23):
drink so much stuff that you justyep up, chuck it. Hunh yep.
At the end of the day,you're tummy. He's just kind of
like, I'm done here, I'mgonna explode. Kind of time for it
to do its own thing. Yeah, it's fair belly often seen in little
children. So maybe Jeff has alittle case of fair belly going on today.
(03:45):
Maybe not, who knows. Butwe're glad that TC's here. Always
excited to be glad that TC's here. Have you missed us? Very much?
So? And I was, Iwas. I guess I'm probably not
winning over the audience by saying that. When I was the text at eleven,
I was laying in bed. No, but you're just being honest,
and that's always I was laying inbed saying I don't want to get out
(04:09):
and start doing work. And thenI got the text and I said,
I don't have to, and I'mvery excited about that. So this isn't
work in my opinion. Oh good, this is fun. Well, we're
glad that you're here. So ifyou hadn't gotten the text, you'd be
cruising around then Yeah. Yeah,I'll be doing Uber driving right now.
Yeah I got my lift account back. Oh good, you can do both
(04:31):
now, yeah, I can doboth. It was good. It was
also in some ways not good.I said to recap. Someone on the
apps had reported me is driving underthe influence. I wasn't. I don't
drink. I was entirely sober thatday. They were just trying to get
out of paying fifteen dollars to gofrom place to place. And it just
(04:55):
sat that way for a month,and then finally I had you know,
fifteen minutes, and I was like, I'm just gonna knock this out because
they had said don't contact them,but I'm like, it's been a month,
clearly they're not about to contact me. So I got on the you
know, got on the app oneto the where you can chat with a
bot. I chat with a botuntil it sent me to a person.
Then they sent me to another person, who sent me to another person.
(05:17):
Always feels like you you have tosay the right things to get to an
actual person. Right when past thebot, it's like, yes, I
did it, and I'm through roundone. Yeah, who are you trying
to contact? Just someone at Lyftwho will make it so that I can
drive again. M Oh okay,there's a hold on my account until they
figure out what was going on withthe allegation, the false allegation. Yeah,
(05:42):
I thought, maybe you're trying tocontact the perpetrator of those false allegations.
No, I uh, I doby dint of picking them up at
their home, know where they live. Oh so I've always so, I
guess in the course of this month, wondered if I should. Yeah,
if you if you really wanted to, you could, Yeah, how about
you fix us? Since you madethis problem because you'd rather screw up a
(06:05):
month of my life than pay fifteendollars for a ride that I provided fairly.
And so if you're into that bargain, I did. I did.
And I finally get to whoever I'msupposed to do on the chat and I
tell them, hey, I didn'tdo this thing they said I did,
and they just come back immediately.They're like, all right, he accounts.
(06:26):
Good. That's all it took.They should investigate, like they don't
know. Like all I did wassay I wasn't drunk, and they're like,
oh, well he said he wasn't. Like that's not an acceptable really
have time or energy to deal withit any further. I guess like they
never no one will operate in thesein companies, I'm finding. No one
(06:48):
interviewed me, no one asked meto provide proof. Like my thing is
that sounds like sup it up here. It's just kind of the bare minimum.
I just I What would have beennice is if they had called me
the second that the allegation gets reported, so that they could tell by speaking
to me whether or not I wasdrunk at the time that the ride happened.
(07:12):
You know if I can just witha straight voice tell you I'm fine.
I don't know if that's open andshut, but it's an important piece
of evidence. But whatever, noone says anything about it for a month,
and that's that's lost. And thisis the trouble with the world today.
That didn't happen just because somebody whowas supposed to do that didn't want
to. They didn't feel like it. Yeah, they didn't feel like I
(07:35):
just don't even know if that personexists. I think the company probably doesn't
want to give, you know,employant employment benefits full salary to people just
to figure out whether or not yougot drunks driving folks around. What if
we could cut some corners not payingthat salary and just see what happens.
(07:57):
Yep, And if something does,like you know, like I said,
I don't drink, I'm extremely responsible, there will not be a case where
something bad happens going forward. Ican vouch for this because I've been around
him in all kinds of situations wherethere was a lot of drinking going on,
(08:18):
and I was probably no small partof that myself on at least a
few of these occasions. But ifhe had if he drank, he would
have the chance to do it.He would have the chance to have done
it in front of me. There'sa greater than zero chance, now,
I mean a much greater than zerochance that I would know about it.
(08:41):
And I've never seen it. I'venever seen him do it. I appreciate
it, believe it, Believe itwhen he says he doesn't, I believe
it. But if I did,And then like I ran over a loving
housewife and her family's going back through, Like, so, who are these
people that are for Lift going arounddrunk? And then they find out that
(09:01):
the company had a report about methat they just did nothing with. Yeah,
that the family of that woman,they don't got to work again.
Yeah, they're going to live ina big house for the rest of their
lives. I'm taking all of Lift'smoney. Yeah. Yeah, I don't
know, man, I don't knowwhat's going on. They're going to own
(09:24):
Lift. Yeah. Have you everthought about favor? No? I feel
like, I mean, are theya sponsor or something? No, they're
not. I feel like anything allthe delivery stuff, it just usually pays
less. Okay, I think thatbecause I regard it as well. Over
time, I've learned it's not easier, but the idea of not having to
(09:48):
talk to a person that's in thecar the whole time is appealing, right,
And I think that's how most peoplefeel, and so I think that
it's just kind of oversupplied. Yeah. I took my kids to kid Zania
this weekend. Oh, what's kidZania. It's amazing. It's up in
Frisco. You know, like goinginto Frisco for anyhow. It's far.
(10:13):
It is far, but we kindof look at it as I don't know,
I feel like we're lucky in away that we have so many different
things that we can take families todo and you don't have to like hop
on a plane. Like while Iwas there at Kidzania, there was a
family from Oklahoma that had driven justfor this kid Zania and we're like,
wow, oh, we have togo thirty minutes. But they're like all
(10:35):
around the world, these Kidzania places. But basically it's like a little miniature
kid world that is created in amall and there's different jobs that the kids
can do and they get paid inkid money and then they can you know,
they can earn money or they canspend their money and it teaches them
(10:56):
all about kind of how society worksand we're and what jobs would you like
to do? And they had afavored delivery job option for the children.
And so my son, he's eightyears old, and he's always trying to
outthink everything, right, he's verymuch a deep thinker for an eight year
old. And he found that hecould make ten dollars with each Favor run,
(11:16):
or he could make ten dollars asa sports physical therapist or working at
the bank, or training to bea firefighter, that she takes a lot
more time than the Favor delivery Andso he realized the easy money was with
Favor and so he was just tryingto make as much money as he could
be in favored delivery man the wholetime. Oh what is a firefighter going
(11:37):
to do about it? He decidednot to be a firefighter. Yeah,
it's kind of like my life.But it was kind of cooled. I
was saying to my husband. Iwas like, man, there was a
time when these jobs didn't exist,and now it's like such a common option
or opportunity for people to go deliverthings for Favor, drive for Uber,
(11:58):
drive, for lift that it's it'skind of cool. Yeah, you can
learn about that as they're growing up. As a job option, yeah,
is he It's a gift in thecurse. It's not the best work in
the world, no, but it'svery nice just not having to get like
hired anywhere else, you know,like it was just there, you know,
whenever I arrived back home and neededto make some money and have always
(12:22):
available to you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's good to have that
option. It's very good to havethat option. I am grateful for it.
You were right back home from whereOh I just Wentever, I don't
want to get into it various jobopportunities. No, I just want to
write. Whenever I took my bigswing and me and a friend were trying
(12:45):
to start a thing that you know, I mean, I don't know.
It kind of worked in the kindand didn't. I'm not a millionaire now,
so it didn't work, I guess. But then I was done with
it, and so I moved backto Dallas and started driving uber. I
don't know. It's all very criptic, that's okay. I mean, I
think there's people for big ideas,and I know what it was like that
I wouldn't have asked I'm sorry,and yet we find ourselves here. So
(13:09):
what do you got going on?No? Man, what's mine? No?
What owner? Will I have?The same? Saying that my grand
away? What's on mine? Today? Mike's mind is fueled by Socius essential
(13:35):
energy drinks. Well, did weenjoy the weather events of Saturday? No?
No, I didn't. I certainlydid, because I like and I
(13:56):
like weather. What it's really stormyand I'm alone here in this No,
I liked how much it was storming. It was a lot of fun.
I just the Belmont Edition porch crawlwas this weekend, and I live a
couple streets outside of Belmont Edition.But I have a friend who lives in
(14:18):
Belmont Edition, so I was goingwith him to the various events, and
they would have all been much morepleasant and enjoyable if it weren't raining.
Are you saying Belmont addition or editionaddition? Okay? Now, what comprises
the Belmont Edition? You know youmight live in it? You tell me,
(14:41):
Well, no, you tell me. Let's look it up. I'm
sure that there is Belmont Street.It's the neighborhood around Belmont Street. I
know it's a neighborhood in East Dallas. Belmont is one of the principal streets
in East Dallas, over in sleepyLakewood. That is one of the main
thoroughfares. Yes, yeah, andso just you know, your your Palo
(15:05):
Pinto, your Goliad, et cetera. Yeah, it's that neighborhood. So
the rain ruined the fun is whatyou're saying, didn't ruin it. We
still had fun. It would havebeen better if if it didn't. So
between Greenville and Skillman, you gotBelmont, Goliad, Palo Pinto, Velasco,
and Lno, that's the Belmont edition. I lived on two of those
(15:26):
streets. You lived on two ofthem. Yeah, I've hung out in
the Belmont edition quite a bit.Go to the porch crawl, No,
I wasn't invited pretty much. Well, if you're in the Belmont Edish and
then you would have been invited.This was a long time ago. They
might not have been crawling on theporches just yet. You're a north boundaries
Lano. Then you go all theway down south to Belmont, with Greenville
(15:50):
and Skillman being your other I dida in a garage apartment on Belmont.
There you go. Look, yeah, we're all Belmont Edish people. So
you guys could have had quite agood time Saturday night, except for it
would have been slightly dampened by therain I did. I was hanging out
with my brother before that and sawon the drive home it was not necessarily
(16:12):
on our way for me and mydaughter to go and see the White Rock
spillway, but I said, wehave to. We're not going to miss
it at a time like this,and it was rip roarin. Well,
would you like some statistics, Iwould love some statistics. These storms,
according to the National Weather Service,broke an eighty two year old record for
(16:37):
daily maximum rainfall set at DFW InternationalAirport, which is, of course,
of course, where official weather recordsfor the regions for the region are recorded.
The new record for April twenty istwo point thirty four inches. That
breaks the old record of one pointfifty two inches. Wow. And it
(16:59):
breaks it by more than just alittle bit, yeah, which was set
in nineteen forty two. Wow.And the highest measured total rainfall was four
point twenty two inches, which wasa love field according to the Weather Service.
So you can always say you werepart of the wettest for twenty in
(17:21):
Dallas history. Yeah. Many areasin and near Dallas Ford Worth reported as
much as three to four inch totalsof ring. The highest rainfall totals occurred
generally along the north of the Interstatetwenty corridor. Now overdriving doesn't take you
out that way too much, doesit? Sometimes you never know where you're
(17:45):
going. Man. The all timegreatest amount of precipitation for a twenty four
hour period in Dallas Fort Worth.Now this is the biggest of the big
This is the most we have everhad in a twenty four hour period.
Was nine point fifty seven Woes?When was it? Were you there?
(18:11):
No? I was not there.I would have liked to have been there,
though. Yeah, I mean ifif Saturday was two point wow,
thirty four nine inches sounds insane.This was between September fourth and fifth of
nineteen thirty two. Okay. Thesecond greatest amount, Now we're working a
(18:32):
little bit more contemporary here, ninepoint nineteen inches between August twenty first and
twenty second of twenty twenty two.I was gonna say, what something happened
very recently? Well, there's remembera nine inch Yeah, I gain remember
lots of footing. I don't rememberthat. It's in August. I don't
(18:55):
know. Yeah, maybe it wasnot a Grandburry or something. Yeah,
I feel like I remember that andsome people were trying to cross the bridges
and whatnot and getting stuck. I'mfrom I was born in Naperville, Illinois,
and I was there for the greatestflood in Naperville, Illinois history.
All right, enough weather, Ohokay, would you care to peruse the
(19:19):
inductees into the Rock and Roll Hallof Fame to the rolling stones they're already
in. Think there have been four. I believe there are going to be
four non inductions. Actually more thanthat. It's Mary J. Blige.
(19:45):
Ah, Yes, that great notedrock and roll singer Mary J. Blige.
Now see you're already starting. Thisis why I don't like talking about
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, because the first thing that happens is
we get into definitions of what isand is not rock and roll. The
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame usesa very broad definition, as they should.
(20:07):
I have no problem with this,but she is one. They should
just change it to the Music Hallof Fame. If they're going to do
this crap. Another inductee is ShareYou want me just repeat it. What
(20:30):
are you doing? I want youto do whatever you feel like doing.
What do you call share it?Then she's just a pop singer. Yeah,
but can't cross over here, Yeahwe can't. I mean, as
far as I'm concerned, we can. Like I say, I have no
problem with this, I don't either, But every time I bring this up,
I wind up in an argument.I've got a huge problem with it.
(20:53):
It's a load of crap. AndI don't know how you guys don't
see that Share is not a rockand roll artist. No one whoever listened
to Share was like, I lovethis rock and roll I'm listening to.
Not one time her music gets playedon stations that play rock and roll.
I don't think that it does.And if it does, it's because the
same creeping problem that the museum isfacing. At the time that her music
(21:18):
was popular in her era, itwas certainly not played on the same stations
as other rock and roll. Topforty radio plays rock and roll, they
also play cheer. You know whatI'm saying. No, I don't know
what you're saying. It is true, you're right, Yeah, I guess
(21:41):
that if it was just Top fortyor whatever. But like the people playing
it would not have been like thisis the same genre, wouldn't have been
present your story. It has becometiresome. Let's move on. Foreigner.
That's a classic rock and roll band. Good job I called quest. Eh.
(22:03):
I don't know anything about them.They don't make rock and roll.
It's a hip hop group. It'sa great hip hop group. They should
be part of some hall of famesomewhere cool in the gang, eh,
Ozzy Osbourne, this is a there'sno way like just they've waited till now
(22:26):
for his solo induction. Obviously BlackSabbath's already in, but I would have
thought just Ozzie as a solo artistwas already in two Well with No More
Tears and all the Dave Matthews Band, Yeah, that's rock and roll.
You say that that's rock and roll, but these other ones aren't. I
mean, it's very fusion stuff.Dave Matthews Band encompasses a large number of
(22:51):
genres, but plenty of their songsare just classic guitar, bassed drums,
the same chords of rock and rollthat you're used to. And they have
other songs that are other things.But that's a rock band. Peter Frampton.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.Four of these eight nominees Share Foreigner,
(23:15):
Peter Frampton, and Cool in theGang or on the ballot for the
first time. Share is the onlyartist to have a number one song in
each of the past six decades.Now that's impressive. Did she ever have
a song on the rock and rollcharts? She had a lot of songs
(23:36):
on top forty charts, and alot of the top forty charts are made
up of rock and roll. Nowyou're getting squarely with me now, and
you know it. Whatever they goto the Grammys and have the rock and
roll category. You ever see Sharehis name down there? What about Cool
in the Gang? Artists nominated thisyear who didn't make the cut. I'll
(23:59):
tell me if you would have putany of these on there. Mariah Carey,
No, Lenny Kravitz, Sure,it's fine, It's not for me.
But Sindbat O'Connor, Yeah, shecan go in shut ay, I
is I see the sleeping the slipperyslope that they're on. I'm taking Toiney
(24:23):
back out Jane's addiction. Yes,classic rock and roll. Okay, well,
maybe you can take somebody in uberup to the induction ceremony, which
will be October ninth at the RocketMortgage Fieldhouse in Oh Wow. The a
(24:44):
heck of an uber ride. Goodstuff, Mike, thank you all right.
Coming up next, we do haveto talk about it on Julie's sports
desk. Let's discuss Game one betweenthe MAVs and the Clippers before we then
throw it out forever because it wasbad. That's next,
Let's begin the show by starting it. Look at us, Hey, look
at us, Look at us.Who would have thought not me? Two
(00:44):
oh five is our time, fiveminutes past two pm Central daylight time.

it in front of me. There'sa greater than zero chance, now,
I mean a much greater than zerochance that I would know about it.
(08:41):
And I've never seen it. I'venever seen him do it. I appreciate
it, believe it, Believe itwhen he says he doesn't, I believe
it. But if I did,And then like I ran over a loving
housewife and her family's going back through, Like, so, who are these
people that are for Lift going arounddrunk? And then they find out that
(09:01):
the company had a report about methat they just did nothing with. Yeah,
that the family of that woman,they don't got to work again.
Yeah, they're going to live ina big house for the rest of their
lives. I'm taking all of Lift'smoney. Yeah. Yeah, I don't
know, man, I don't knowwhat's going on. They're going to own
(09:24):
Lift. Yeah. Have you everthought about favor? No? I feel
like, I mean, are theya sponsor or something? No, they're
not. I feel like anything allthe delivery stuff, it just usually pays
less. Okay, I think thatbecause I regard it as well. Over
time, I've learned it's not easier, but the idea of not having to
(09:48):
talk to a person that's in thecar the whole time is appealing, right,
And I think that's how most peoplefeel, and so I think that
it's just kind of oversupplied. Yeah. I took my kids to kid Zania
this weekend. Oh, what's kidZania. It's amazing. It's up in
Frisco. You know, like goinginto Frisco for anyhow. It's far.
(10:13):
It is far, but we kindof look at it as I don't know,
I feel like we're lucky in away that we have so many different
things that we can take families todo and you don't have to like hop
on a plane. Like while Iwas there at Kidzania, there was a
family from Oklahoma that had driven justfor this kid Zania and we're like,
wow, oh, we have togo thirty minutes. But they're like all
(10:35):
around the world, these Kidzania places. But basically it's like a little miniature
kid world that is created in amall and there's different jobs that the kids
can do and they get paid inkid money and then they can you know,
they can earn money or they canspend their money and it teaches them
(10:56):
all about kind of how society worksand we're and what jobs would you like
to do? And they had afavored delivery job option for the children.
And so my son, he's eightyears old, and he's always trying to
outthink everything, right, he's verymuch a deep thinker for an eight year
old. And he found that hecould make ten dollars with each Favor run,
(11:16):
or he could make ten dollars asa sports physical therapist or working at
the bank, or training to bea firefighter, that she takes a lot
more time than the Favor delivery Andso he realized the easy money was with
Favor and so he was just tryingto make as much money as he could
be in favored delivery man the wholetime. Oh what is a firefighter going
(11:37):
to do about it? He decidednot to be a firefighter. Yeah,
it's kind of like my life.But it was kind of cooled. I
was saying to my husband. Iwas like, man, there was a
time when these jobs didn't exist,and now it's like such a common option
or opportunity for people to go deliverthings for Favor, drive for Uber,
(11:58):
drive, for lift that it's it'skind of cool. Yeah, you can
learn about that as they're growing up. As a job option, yeah,
is he It's a gift in thecurse. It's not the best work in
the world, no, but it'svery nice just not having to get like
hired anywhere else, you know,like it was just there, you know,
whenever I arrived back home and neededto make some money and have always
(12:22):
available to you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's good to have that
option. It's very good to havethat option. I am grateful for it.
You were right back home from whereOh I just Wentever, I don't
want to get into it various jobopportunities. No, I just want to
write. Whenever I took my bigswing and me and a friend were trying
(12:45):
to start a thing that you know, I mean, I don't know.
It kind of worked in the kindand didn't. I'm not a millionaire now,
so it didn't work, I guess. But then I was done with
it, and so I moved backto Dallas and started driving uber. I
don't know. It's all very criptic, that's okay. I mean, I
think there's people for big ideas,and I know what it was like that
I wouldn't have asked I'm sorry,and yet we find ourselves here. So
(13:09):
what do you got going on?No? Man, what's mine? No?
What owner? Will I have?The same? Saying that my grand
away? What's on mine? Today? Mike's mind is fueled by Socius essential
(13:35):
energy drinks. Well, did weenjoy the weather events of Saturday? No?
No, I didn't. I certainlydid, because I like and I
(13:56):
like weather. What it's really stormyand I'm alone here in this No,
I liked how much it was storming. It was a lot of fun.
I just the Belmont Edition porch crawlwas this weekend, and I live a
couple streets outside of Belmont Edition.But I have a friend who lives in
(14:18):
Belmont Edition, so I was goingwith him to the various events, and
they would have all been much morepleasant and enjoyable if it weren't raining.
Are you saying Belmont addition or editionaddition? Okay? Now, what comprises
the Belmont Edition? You know youmight live in it? You tell me,
(14:41):
Well, no, you tell me. Let's look it up. I'm
sure that there is Belmont Street.It's the neighborhood around Belmont Street. I
know it's a neighborhood in East Dallas. Belmont is one of the principal streets
in East Dallas, over in sleepyLakewood. That is one of the main
thoroughfares. Yes, yeah, andso just you know, your your Palo
(15:05):
Pinto, your Goliad, et cetera. Yeah, it's that neighborhood. So
the rain ruined the fun is whatyou're saying, didn't ruin it. We
still had fun. It would havebeen better if if it didn't. So
between Greenville and Skillman, you gotBelmont, Goliad, Palo Pinto, Velasco,
and Lno, that's the Belmont edition. I lived on two of those
(15:26):
streets. You lived on two ofthem. Yeah, I've hung out in
the Belmont edition quite a bit.Go to the porch crawl, No,
I wasn't invited pretty much. Well, if you're in the Belmont Edish and
then you would have been invited.This was a long time ago. They
might not have been crawling on theporches just yet. You're a north boundaries
Lano. Then you go all theway down south to Belmont, with Greenville
(15:50):
and Skillman being your other I dida in a garage apartment on Belmont.
There you go. Look, yeah, we're all Belmont Edish people. So
you guys could have had quite agood time Saturday night, except for it
would have been slightly dampened by therain I did. I was hanging out
with my brother before that and sawon the drive home it was not necessarily
(16:12):
on our way for me and mydaughter to go and see the White Rock
spillway, but I said, wehave to. We're not going to miss
it at a time like this,and it was rip roarin. Well,
would you like some statistics, Iwould love some statistics. These storms,
according to the National Weather Service,broke an eighty two year old record for
(16:37):
daily maximum rainfall set at DFW InternationalAirport, which is, of course,
of course, where official weather recordsfor the regions for the region are recorded.
The new record for April twenty istwo point thirty four inches. That
breaks the old record of one pointfifty two inches. Wow. And it
(16:59):
breaks it by more than just alittle bit, yeah, which was set
in nineteen forty two. Wow.And the highest measured total rainfall was four
point twenty two inches, which wasa love field according to the Weather Service.
So you can always say you werepart of the wettest for twenty in
(17:21):
Dallas history. Yeah. Many areasin and near Dallas Ford Worth reported as
much as three to four inch totalsof ring. The highest rainfall totals occurred
generally along the north of the Interstatetwenty corridor. Now overdriving doesn't take you
out that way too much, doesit? Sometimes you never know where you're
(17:45):
going. Man. The all timegreatest amount of precipitation for a twenty four
hour period in Dallas Fort Worth.Now this is the biggest of the big
This is the most we have everhad in a twenty four hour period.
Was nine point fifty seven Woes?When was it? Were you there?
(18:11):
No? I was not there.I would have liked to have been there,
though. Yeah, I mean ifif Saturday was two point wow,
thirty four nine inches sounds insane.This was between September fourth and fifth of
nineteen thirty two. Okay. Thesecond greatest amount, Now we're working a
(18:32):
little bit more contemporary here, ninepoint nineteen inches between August twenty first and
twenty second of twenty twenty two.I was gonna say, what something happened
very recently? Well, there's remembera nine inch Yeah, I gain remember
lots of footing. I don't rememberthat. It's in August. I don't
(18:55):
know. Yeah, maybe it wasnot a Grandburry or something. Yeah,
I feel like I remember that andsome people were trying to cross the bridges
and whatnot and getting stuck. I'mfrom I was born in Naperville, Illinois,
and I was there for the greatestflood in Naperville, Illinois history.
All right, enough weather, Ohokay, would you care to peruse the
(19:19):
inductees into the Rock and Roll Hallof Fame to the rolling stones they're already
in. Think there have been four. I believe there are going to be
four non inductions. Actually more thanthat. It's Mary J. Blige.
(19:45):
Ah, Yes, that great notedrock and roll singer Mary J. Blige.
Now see you're already starting. Thisis why I don't like talking about
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, because the first thing that happens is
we get into definitions of what isand is not rock and roll. The
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame usesa very broad definition, as they should.
(20:07):
I have no problem with this,but she is one. They should
just change it to the Music Hallof Fame. If they're going to do
this crap. Another inductee is ShareYou want me just repeat it. What
(20:30):
are you doing? I want youto do whatever you feel like doing.
What do you call share it?Then she's just a pop singer. Yeah,
but can't cross over here, Yeahwe can't. I mean, as
far as I'm concerned, we can. Like I say, I have no
problem with this, I don't either, But every time I bring this up,
I wind up in an argument.I've got a huge problem with it.
(20:53):
It's a load of crap. AndI don't know how you guys don't
see that Share is not a rockand roll artist. No one whoever listened
to Share was like, I lovethis rock and roll I'm listening to.
Not one time her music gets playedon stations that play rock and roll.
I don't think that it does.And if it does, it's because the
same creeping problem that the museum isfacing. At the time that her music
(21:18):
was popular in her era, itwas certainly not played on the same stations
as other rock and roll. Topforty radio plays rock and roll, they
also play cheer. You know whatI'm saying. No, I don't know
what you're saying. It is true, you're right, Yeah, I guess
(21:41):
that if it was just Top fortyor whatever. But like the people playing
it would not have been like thisis the same genre, wouldn't have been
present your story. It has becometiresome. Let's move on. Foreigner.
That's a classic rock and roll band. Good job I called quest. Eh.
(22:03):
I don't know anything about them.They don't make rock and roll.
It's a hip hop group. It'sa great hip hop group. They should
be part of some hall of famesomewhere cool in the gang, eh,
Ozzy Osbourne, this is a there'sno way like just they've waited till now
(22:26):
for his solo induction. Obviously BlackSabbath's already in, but I would have
thought just Ozzie as a solo artistwas already in two Well with No More
Tears and all the Dave Matthews Band, Yeah, that's rock and roll.
You say that that's rock and roll, but these other ones aren't. I
mean, it's very fusion stuff.Dave Matthews Band encompasses a large number of
(22:51):
genres, but plenty of their songsare just classic guitar, bassed drums,
the same chords of rock and rollthat you're used to. And they have
other songs that are other things.But that's a rock band. Peter Frampton.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.Four of these eight nominees Share Foreigner,
(23:15):
Peter Frampton, and Cool in theGang or on the ballot for the
first time. Share is the onlyartist to have a number one song in
each of the past six decades.Now that's impressive. Did she ever have
a song on the rock and rollcharts? She had a lot of songs
(23:36):
on top forty charts, and alot of the top forty charts are made
up of rock and roll. Nowyou're getting squarely with me now, and
you know it. Whatever they goto the Grammys and have the rock and
roll category. You ever see Sharehis name down there? What about Cool
in the Gang? Artists nominated thisyear who didn't make the cut. I'll
(23:59):
tell me if you would have putany of these on there. Mariah Carey,
No, Lenny Kravitz, Sure,it's fine, It's not for me.
But Sindbat O'Connor, Yeah, shecan go in shut ay, I
is I see the sleeping the slipperyslope that they're on. I'm taking Toiney
(24:23):
back out Jane's addiction. Yes,classic rock and roll. Okay, well,
maybe you can take somebody in uberup to the induction ceremony, which
will be October ninth at the RocketMortgage Fieldhouse in Oh Wow. The a
(24:44):
heck of an uber ride. Goodstuff, Mike, thank you all right.
Coming up next, we do haveto talk about it on Julie's sports
desk. Let's discuss Game one betweenthe MAVs and the Clippers before we then
throw it out forever because it wasbad. That's next,
