Classic Crock. It's a big one hundred, tiny dancers. Elden
John this is cool. The FTC unveiled late's final click

(01:55):
to Cancel rule, which is going it's going to go
into law on about one hundred and eighty days. It
looks like a new law that requires businesses provide a
way for consumers to cancel subscriptions just as easy as
it is to sign up. Yes, that includes everything from
gym memberships to digital streaming, e commerce, cable TV, the works.

(02:17):
We've all been through it. You can sign up for
something with one click on your phone and then trying
to cancel it is hell yep. And so they received
so many complaints a year, sixteen thousand of them last year,
that they're putting this click They call it the click
to Cancel rule in effect. Again about one hundred and
eighty days, we're going to effect. I just signed up

(02:38):
for something. We'll say it's a it's my ballet lessons.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
OK, why would you ever want to cancel those?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I don't. I don't. I'm just thinking ahead. What if
I sprain my ankle? What if I twist my knee
right right? And there were no contracts, which you know
is awesome. I try to avoid, you know, anything that's
got those those contracts that make it impossible to cancel.
But I did ask about cancelation and they said, oh, yeah,

(03:06):
no problem. You got to give thirty days notice. All right,
Well that's pre standard, and you have to come to
it in person, and it has to be with the
manager face to face. All right. Here we go to
the manager that's never there or it is only there
like on Tuesdays from two to four, and.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Their website is very very vague. Yeah, get yeah through
to anybody.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
And I said, okay, and I'm like and if you can't,
if the manager is unavailable, you have to have thirty
days notice of cancelation and writing to the to the
corporate office or some crap like that. And I went,
oh boy, it's one of those. But this is pretty awesome, man,
this is this is cool. There will be a law
on effect that says, yeah, you can't do that anymore.

(03:49):
I should be able to jump on your website and
click a button that says cancel. That simple.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
This was long overdue.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
I can't tell you the number of streaming services I
have that I don't want that I've tried to cancel
and I thought i'd canceled them, but they're still there
and I'm still getting built for them.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I have no idea. You know, I almost jumped
on that. What's the app? Rocket Money? Is that the
one that keeps seeing the ask I keep seeing commercials
for it, and I'm like, wow, that that sounds really cool.
You know. It's like you put in your information, it'll
find all your subscriptions and and they'll cancel them for you.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
But then it wants me to sign up for that,
and that's the thing that I do think.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
So I'm like, I'm like cool if I can click
to cancel on this app and they'll take care of it,
and plus it lets you see what you have active.
But when I went in.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
There, let's start your free trial, dude, it wanted my
first born's middle name, my you know, I mean, it
wanted so much information.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
And then what you realized was like, I am giving
this app access to every single one of my accounts,
my credit cards, my bank accounts. I'm like, I'm not
doing that.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I think it wanted bank account number two.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, and I get it. That's I mean, that's how
they do it. But it's like, why would I want
to give every single bit of information to an app.
I mean, I'm sure they work hard to keep it secure,
but let's face it, like work hard to keep it shack.
Everybody gets hacked, there's no way around it. My brother,
his wife, my sister in law is a lawyer, owns

(05:22):
a law firm. She's partner at a law firm, and
he I talked to him yesterday. They are in a
panic ransomware. So they they got hijacked yesterday at some
point and I was like, oh God, because you know
how those things end. You got to pay it. Yeah,
I mean, you can hire these companies that help you,

(05:42):
but you end up paying it, right, I'm sure it's
happened to iHeart sure it's happened to this company. I
know the company I worked for before. It happened twice twice,
and they paid off like million dollar ransoms to have
it released. So these hijackers come in ransomware. They're like,
we've hacked your system. It's not going to work unless
you give us some million dollars, and so it's it.

(06:05):
They're asking for like two hundred grand and uh, you know,
a small law firm. I was like, holy crap. I
was like, well, what do you do? I said, He's like, well,
we can't even pay it because the the ransomware the hijackers, uh,
the website that they use for you to pay them
is crashed is no longer there, like my jacked or stuff.

(06:25):
Demanded money and we can't even pay because their crap
went down. And I'm like, oh my god, that would suck,
Like there may be no way out of that.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
I had.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Hijacked once and that was a nightmare to get to
get that back.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, well, we're talking about like multimillion dollar companies.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
But this was just my inconvenience, which you know, on
my level, it's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's the exact same.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Thing Amazon accounts. He's been toothpaste on your account.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Right, and I couldn't I couldn't buy my two things
because somebody else had access to it.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh, it does suck. Same thing it does suck, exact
same thing it does. Man, it's it sucks. I mean,
even something as simple as like a social media account
getting hijacked, it sucks. I feel bad for a lot
of those, like you know, like say you're a big
influencer and you've got millions of followers and all of
a sudden, one day gone gone. It's like starting over.

(07:24):
It's like, whoa god would suck? H I don't have
to worry about that.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I mean, as an influencer, you kind of had it coming.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't have to worry about that. Really, nobody's following me.
It is six thirty one, DC's Classic Rock, Big one
hundred DC's classic Rock. It's a Big one hundred sixty one.
There's bon Jovi, and it is time once again. Four
things I know. White Noise it got its name because
it's spectrum resembles white light, pink noise was named because

(07:57):
it's spectrum resembles pink light and brown noise. Now that
was named after a Scottish spotanist named Robert Brown. William
Henry Harrison gave a presidential inauguration speech that was two
hours long even though there was bad weather in DC.
He also did not want to wear a coat because

(08:19):
he wanted to show how tough he was. He got
sick and died one month into his term. He's pretty tough.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
That sucks.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Despite its name, Philadelphia cream Cheese was invented in New York,
not Philadelphia. This was in eighteen seventy two. It was
not marketed as Philadelphia Cream Cheese until eighteen eighty. At
the time, the Philadelphia area had a reputation for high
quality dairy farms, so they used the name to allude
to that, to fool the consumer.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's actually very interesting, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
They're like, well, let's let's change the name of him.
It's like if we made cheese and the base in
here and called it Wisconsin cheese. Right. Ferris wheels were
originally called pleasure wheels when they were invented in the
sixteen hundreds. I can't imagine why they changed the name.
You want to go rid the pleasure Wheel. Nobody wants

(09:21):
to hear their daughter come up and say I was
just on the pleasure Wheel. Yeah, Ferris Wheel was a
good move. Come on pleasure Wheel.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
That is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Wow. The ZIP in ZIP code stands for Zone Improvement Plan.
They were I always wondered about that. Now I know
Zone improvement plan. They were created in nineteen sixty three
to help mail carriers deliver more mail efficiently and so
that they could quote ZIP along their roots.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
So there were no ZIP codes before nineteen sixty three.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
That's what it sounds like.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh yeah, I had a lot on this today.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, there you go. I know a lot crash, Now
I know a lot. Six. It's DC's Classic Rock, Big one.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Hundred WBIGFM, Washington and iHeartRadio Station, live from the nation's Capital.
This is Big Rock Mornings with Jackson on Big one
hundred DC's Classic Rock, and.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Good morning to you. It is six fifty seven. Mike
Florio from Pro Football Talk is coming up in just minutes.
We'll chat about the Commanders and also kind of take
a peek around the league. Speaking of the Commanders. Later
this morning, we have tickets to give away for the
home game against Carolina at Northwest Stadium. We'll talk more
about that in just a bit. DC's Classic Rock. It's

(10:46):
Big one hundred. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk on
the line with us this morning, and Mike, let's just
start right here at home. I'm not mad about that
game against the Ravens. I thought the team went out
there and competed. Now I'm comparing it to last season,
which was a debacle, but I think they performed pretty
well and Jade and Daniel still looks pretty good.

Speaker 7 (11:07):
Your thoughts, Yeah, I think that's one of those games
where he come out of it saying, hey, Commanders can
play with anyone, and when you get into.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
A setting like that, you're gonna win some, you're gonna lose.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Some against the best teams around. The Ravens one of
the best teams in the league, arguably the best offense
in the league. So I absolutely agree it's still a loss,
but it doesn't feel like the kind of loss that
disqualifies you from anything, like those Cowboys.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
Lost to the Lions disqualifies them from competing at a
high level.

Speaker 7 (11:36):
What happened at the Commanders on Sunday underscores the fact
that they have an opportunity if they get into a
single elimination setting, to give the best teams.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
In the league a run for their money. And that's
all you can ask for.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, and I tell you I I feel like they
really missed Brian Robinson out there. You know, Eckler is
a fantastic back, and he has a set of skills
that you know obviously are pretty useful. But that big
power back that you know, downhill, angry runner like b
rob I just felt like his presence was missed.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
Oh.

Speaker 9 (12:09):
I think you're absolutely right when you look at at
how things went offensively against a team that doesn't have
a great defense so far this year. You never want
your quarterback to be the leading rusher, and if he's
the leading rusher, you wanted to have more than twenty
two yards.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
But that's how it played out.

Speaker 7 (12:26):
For the Commanders, with Eckler and McNichols taking the place.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Of Robinson right and with Jonathan Allen out. Do you
think that becomes a priority before the trade deadline?

Speaker 8 (12:40):
Well, look, anytime you're a team that is in a
position to contend, there will be teams out there that
realize that it's over now that the trade deadline has
been moved back week that's.

Speaker 7 (12:51):
Another slate of games to give those teams an opportunity
to come to the conclusion that maybe they should be
looking to parlay assets in the future draft picks and well,
you have to ask yourself strategically, how much are we
willing to mortgage the future in order to enhance the present.
And that's the decision that each team has to make.
GM has to make, owner has to make, like in

(13:14):
New York where they decided to mortgage the future for
an eleven game runner with Devonte Adams possibly to just
palk the decision to trade or to fire or excuse me,
Robert Sola. But that's a decision that each team has
to make, and you have to look and see who's
out there and what does it cost, and how many
other teams are competing that drives up the cost, So
it's definitely something you evaluate. The question is whether or

(13:36):
not you find a way to get a deal done
and is there someone that's going to make you better
that comes out of those conversations.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
So this weekend, Washington looking to start five and two.
That'll be the first time since twenty eighteen. How do
you think they match up against Carolina at home?

Speaker 7 (13:55):
Well, I think anybody against Carolina is in a good
position to win. Their quarterback play hasn't been what it
needs to be. I think they're inching toward the time
where they just go back to Bryce Young to let
him get the reps, let him get the experience. It's
for several teams at this point abundantly clear that it's
not going to happen this year, and the Panthers are

(14:16):
one of those teams.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
But this is a challenge when.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
You go from being a team that he's used to
being the Panthers in the equation. Can you stay focused?
Can you avoid stepping in a pothole? The only win
the Panthers have these years against the Raiders, and I
think the Raiders took them lightly, and that happens. You
get up for certain games and there are other games
you don't get up for. So the challenge is after

(14:40):
losing to the Ravens, regroup, refocus and don't get complacent,
and do everything necessary.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Check every box, dot every I cross, every te.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
Put in all the work. Because they're still in the NFL,
they haven't been relegated to the CFO. Yet they can't
beat you.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
But this is a game that Washington should be able
to win.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
It's one of those games where if they truly have arrived,
they find a way to win it. You know, the
good teams in the NFL win all the games they're
supposed to win, and they're competitive in all the games
that they're supposed to lose. Right, So that's what the
Commanders need to do.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
This is the one they need to win. If everything
that we believe about them is true.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
This is a game they need to win, right, And
I mean, I know it sounds tripe, but any given Sunday, right,
you can't take any team in the NFL lightly. So
you referenced in earlier DeVante Adams traded to the New
York Aarons Jets. Sorry, it is clear that Aaron Rodgers
is running the show out there.

Speaker 7 (15:43):
Oh but he had nothing to do with the firing
of Roark Sala, nothing whatsoever.

Speaker 8 (15:48):
I resent the suggestion, the implication, the accusation that I do.

Speaker 7 (15:54):
Look, I think it gone on me this week. This
gives him great cover. Things don't work out this year.
He can say after the fact, well, if they hadn't
fired the coach six games in five games in would
we would have been competitive?

Speaker 5 (16:09):
And how do you expect the team to overcome that?
Just like he called out Mike Williams the other day.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
For running the wrong route on the game stealing interception
against the Bills.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
That's not something you do.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
But this is a guy who's very calculating, manipulative and conniving.
I know, I know, tell us how you really feel.
But I've been following this guy for twenty years and
I think he loved having that little safe harbor he
can reside in if things go sideway.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
And it's amazing. How many times can.

Speaker 7 (16:38):
You remember a guy being created from a perceived non
contender to a perceived contender And both teams were two
and four, right, they had the same It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah. And the I think it was on McAfee yesterday
when he when he criticized Mike Williams. I was kind
of taken aback by that that he was putting the
blame on a team.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
I was, no, he did it after the game.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
He did it after the game, and then he came
up with a clumsy, lame justification for it when he
was asked about it on Macacuine.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah wow wow. So what do you think which is
the bigger trade here, Amari Cooper to Buffalo or DeVante
Adams to the Jets.

Speaker 7 (17:16):
Well, you have to ask yourself, what does the trade do?

Speaker 5 (17:23):
What were you before and what are you now?

Speaker 7 (17:25):
And you could look at at the Jets and say
that the trade for Devonte Adams makes a fringe playoff
contender into.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
A playoff contender.

Speaker 7 (17:36):
You look at the Bills and you say, hey, this
makes a fringe Super Bowl contender into a Super Bowl contender, right,
And this is this is one that I mean, we
saw the Bills potentially looking for a receiver.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
They were monitoring reportedly the.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
Devonte Adams situation, but they spent so much time justifying
not having a number one receiver after trade and Sefon Diggs.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
They had this all of their pride and a little
bits to do this.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
And the Browns are at the point where they can
declare to the world a fork is stuck in them
and they can start trading off assets. So it worked
out perfectly. Devonte Adams to the Jets. Fine, We'll get
Amari Cooper and I think all things considered, the builds
are in a better position.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah. Yeah, And so I've been dying all week to
ask you about this because I just I saw Jaden
Daniels doing an interview and he touched on it. Maybe
it was with Keishan where he was talking about this
virtual reality training that they're using. Now, this VR training
a way to look at a defense and get reps
without the wear and tear on the body. Is that

(18:39):
something we're going to start to see a lot of.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Well, we've seen it for years.

Speaker 7 (18:44):
And what I've noticed is when they first developed the technology,
the people responsible for it were very active in getting
the word out.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
To the media that it was available. What happened was
the teams that were using it didn't.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
Like word of it to be put out there that
they were using it, because I think they were hoping
other teams wouldn't figure it out. So you don't hear
a lot of talk about it because teams want to
keep it close to the vest, and the people who
make it have been kind of muzzled from saying, Hey, this.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Team's using it, and that team's using it. Look at
what a different this guy. Look at what it for
that guy.

Speaker 7 (19:23):
So I suspect that the people responsible for the technology.
We're very happy when someone like Jayden Daniels points it
out because it is a great way to get something
close to real reps, mental reps, to get the game
to slow down, to understand and process processing is so important.
And you know, Patrick Mahomes said this last year, he

(19:43):
wants to get to the point where Tom Brady was,
where you walk up to the line of scrimmage and
there's nothing you've never seen before and you know exactly
what to do to deal with what.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
They're they're showing you.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
The virtual reality training is the best way to do
that other than playing, you know, one hundred games a year, right.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, it's fascinating, man, And I get what you're saying
about how teams kind of want to keep it close
to the vest and you know, take advantage of it
before everybody figures it out. Hey, you brought up Mahomes.
I was surprised to see the forty nine ers favored
this weekend, but I will I just don't bet against Casey.
I don't know what it is. They always find a
way to win, and I suspect that's going to happen again.

(20:23):
What do you think of that game?

Speaker 7 (20:24):
Can you have when you have a team that has
won as many Super Bowls as they've won, and a
team that constantly shows.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
Up and wins. We talked earlier about.

Speaker 7 (20:34):
The importance of not being complacent, not that they'd be
complacent against the forty nine ers, but when you get
a team like that little extra incentive by making them underdogs.
Pat Mahomes is great in that setting. They were underdogs
in every postseason game. Yeah, last year the game, well,
not the game at home against the Dolphins, but once
they went on the road for the Division around the

(20:55):
Buffalo underdoghs and won championship game, Ravens under one, super
Bowl two point undred all one. So Mahomes, we'll be
an item up on his record eleven and one, eleven
one and one to be accurate against the spread when
the Chiefs are underdogs, aren't good.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Wow. Wow, that's amazing. Mike Florio. I'll always appreciate your time,
my friend, and I look forward to talking to you
again next week. All right, have a great day. Thanks,

(21:35):
game day experience at home with grammophone Gaythersburg, See it,

hundred AC DC, and you shook me all night long,
Jackson here. One in five Americans are sad the election
season is coming to a close. What but everybody be
just done with it by now Election Day less than

(21:55):
three weeks away. Most of us are pretty thrilled that
all the NonStop political ads I get text constantly throughout
the day, spam calls, the works. Stop seeing the you know,
lawn signs and the commercials and the phone calls and
the text U everything will kind of go back to
normal in a few weeks. But one in five say no,

(22:17):
they kind of like the drama. I like the hate
filled rhetoric. They love the doom scrolling, they love the
rage bait. I am done with it. I tell you
for me, it ended with the hurricanes. When when when
they start to use you know, it doesn't matter what

(22:39):
party it is, when they when they start to use tragedy,
it's a political pawn. It makes me sick to my.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
All do that and it's not just politics, Like that's done.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Just every aspect of disgusting, you know, But to try
to use that to gain a political advantage when people
are suffering, it's it's just foul in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
But that's not new. It's always been done.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, well it is seven twenty six. Let's give you
a letter for the big word of the week, the
big word of the week on Big one hundred. Today's
letter is the letter Q as in xylophone. The letter

(23:24):
Q is an apple. Did I yesterday or Tuesday? Tuesday?
That it was tuesday?

Speaker 2 (23:31):
It was yesterday.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
No, I think it was tuesday because it was the
letter A, right, which I just gave you the letter
for Tuesday. It was the letter A, and I said.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Uh, yesterday, Wednesday, and so it was yesterday when you
did it.

No, it was tuesday because I said tuesday. The letter
was A, and I said the letter A as in lilac.
Remember No, but what no, Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
You're right, because it was yesterday you were giving me that, right.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
It was the letter L and I was looking at
the previous day's letter. That's either way. Now we've just
given you two letters.

letter tomorrow morning. Write about this time right here on
DC's ClassicRock. It's Big one hundred. DC's Classic Crock. It's
Big one hundred and separate ways from journey. Let's give

(25:03):
to do is put your name in there and let
us know you want the tickets, leave a message. Make
sure you leave your name and just say hey, I
want to put my name in the hat for the
Brian Reagan tickets and we will randomly draw from all
those entries this morning. We've been doing that throughout the week,
and if you entered yesterday, day before, you are still
in there and still in the running. But you can

(25:25):

See like, we will give those way at the end

we'll see how we're going to do those tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning. Adam Peters joins us on the show at
eight thirty and Tim Murray from The Big Wager we'll

(25:47):
be on with us as well. I was just reading
about this fire station in Germany. It's only ten months old.
It is a state of the art fire station. It
burned to the ground yes yesterday because the city opted
not to install smoke detectors.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Now see that Alanish is a r.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
They say the damage estimated at around twenty two million
dollars unreal. Ten months old, state of the art station
in Germany, no smoke detectors. City, I guess, decided not
to install them, and apparently there's no cord or no
code rather that requires that they do. But one would

(26:34):
have to assume they figured it'd be okay since there
are always firefighters there. Twenty four seven. It's unclear if
there were any firefighters there when the fire started, but
there were no smoke alarms, and the fire inspector was
quote extremely upset about it when he talked to the media.
He says, it's every firefighter's nightmare. No one ever wants

(26:55):
to have to put on a suit and fight a
fire in their own station. No, that's not good. Thankfully,
no one was injured. Cause of the fire has not
been confirmed, but they think it might have been a
battery charger that overheated. Near total loss hole station twenty
two million dollars damage. Wow, I should put some smoke

(27:16):
smoke detectors in there. I helped. I'll let you know.
It's odd that a fire station didn't have smoke detectors. Seven.
We will take care of some quick business here. Coming
up in the eight o'clock hour, we have Dennis with
Sports on Tap. We'll get to Florida Man, and we'll
give away those tickets for the home game this weekend.

(27:36):
DC's Classic Cracket's Big one.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
Hundred WBIGFM, Washington and I heard radio station live from
the Nation's Capital. This is Big Rock Mornings with Jackson
on Big one hundred, DC's Classic Rock.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Man shop it out this hour Sports on Tap with
Dennis and we'll give away a pair of tickets for
that home game in nor to a stadium against Carolina
coming up Sunday. Classic Cash is coming up in the
nine o'clock hour. And again, if you want to get
your name in the hat for the Brian Reagan tickets,
all you have to do is hit us with the talkback,

(28:13):
pull up the iHeart appull up Big one hundred, click
on the little microphone, and just leave us your name
and say you want to put your name in the
hat for the tickets. We'll drop that at the end
of the show. It's DC's Classic Rock, Big one hundred.
That's the Eye of the Tiger, DC's Classic Rock. It's
Big one hundred. Well, Thanksgiving is coming up just around

(28:33):
the corner, isn't it? That is crazy? Man? I just
I was reading an article about butterball turkeys. I always
like to watch the video of people trying to deep
fry turkeys and catching their houses on fire. Every yep,
every year happens every year. Really drop like frozen turkeys

(28:53):
in one of those deep fris It's like a noup
just went off in their backyard. Anyway, popped up and said,
you know, Butterball unveils cook from frozen Thanksgiving turkey that
doesn't need to be thought and I was like, what's this?
And I was like, wow, Thanksgivings like six weeks just
around the corner. Man. That means the holiday, that means Christmas.

(29:15):
Oh my god. Butterball unveiled a new cook from frozen
Thanksgiving turkey. They go straight from the freezer to the
oven because typically you have to throw those things in
the fridge for like three days thrown out. If you've
got a big one, it takes about five hours to
cook from frozen. I don't know if I'm buying that.
They claim it tastes just as good. It's for people

(29:35):
who want to avoid the disaster forgetting to thought out.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Is it pre cooked and you're just throwing it?

Speaker 1 (29:41):
That's what I'm looking at here. So Butterball unveiled this
new turkey. You take it straight from the freezer, you
pop it in the oven. It's called the butterball cook
from frozen, and they say it's also great for people
who don't like to touch raw meat, if that's when
you're phobias. There's no neck or giblets, and it comes

(30:03):
pre brined, so you don't have to do anything except
brush it with some oil. The directions literally say unwrap, cook,
average cook time five hours, and they say it's because
of a specially formulated brine, and they claim it comes
out just as good as a normal turkey does. The
downside is it can't be stuffed. You have to make

(30:26):
this stuffing separately. But if you're buying a turkey, let's
be honest, everybody's making stovetop. Come on, are you a
stuffing fan?

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:37):
I don't. I don't. I've never made stovetop.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
No, come on, that's that's that's the king.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
My god.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
I have done one of the popeye'es turkeys. Oh yeah,
those are Have you ever had one? No?

Speaker 7 (30:51):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
They're fantastic and they're frozen, but they're pre cooked, so
the pre cooked so you get it, and there's a
limited number of them every year, so you have to
like go to a store and get you can't order it,
but talk about convenience, Like you just take that and
you put it in the oven and it's already done,
like you don't do anything to it.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
This is crazy, though, it's not. It doesn't sound like
it's pre cooked. Just this special kind of brine that
makes it cook faster. That's my red flag, right, Yes,
especially formulated brine. It's like, what chemical is that? I
don't know. Kind of scares me. Unpopular opinion. Ready, Yeah,

(31:30):
turkey sucks. Turkey sucks ham. Dude to honey baked ham
any day of the week, I know, but I never
get my way. Everybody wants to do a stupid turkey.
Never get my way. Ham. If I could do a
ham for Easter, if I could do a ham for Thanksgiving, it,
if I could do a ham for Christmas, I would

(31:51):
do ham all the way every single time.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Do you do the same meal for Thanksgiving and Christmas?
The traditional turkey since you don't get your.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Hamway, No, I think Christmas is kind of mixed up.
Just depends, you know, it just depends Thanksgiving. It's always turkey.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Though, always it's gotta be turkey on Thanksgiving. Yeah, you're
not getting your hand.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
No, I don't like turkey It's okay. It's like not
any big deal though, right.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, that the whole Thanksgiving dinner doesn't do anything for me.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
But honey baked ham so good, and the best part
of a like a ham, it's the leftover ham. I'm
making ham sandwiches for like four days.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Well, that always seems like a good idea.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
You love it too, You're like the second or third day, y,
I love it now. Look, I'm not gonna lie. I'm
tired of it by day three, day four, But I
love it.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
But it's in the fridge and it's had everybody's hands
all over it.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
And but I'll swing by the fridge and open it
up and grab a big chunk of ham and eat
it on the way out the door. I love him.
Pig is wonderful. It's eight twelve DC's Classic Rock, Big
one hundred, see Class Crack. It's big one Sweet Home Alabama.
I just got a message somebody saying if I haven't

(33:08):
tried the deep fried turkey yet, that would be the
game changer. That uh, deep frying it's the way to go.
And I'm just like, I'm afraid I'm going to burn
my house down. I'm like this, like I have never
tried it deep fried where they where they drop it
in the deep fry.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
How healthy is that?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Well, I can't be healthy, no, but it's you know,
it's once a year. Come on, it's once a year. Still,
you're allowed to eat something nasty once a year.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
That's that's a little overboard though. That's always just seemed
too much to me.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I don't know, it does it does look good, and
I've never tried it, and maybe that would turn me
on to like a turkey if it was deep fried.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
It starts, it starts with a deep fried turkey, then
it goes to twinkies.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
And then you know, I just enjoy what a deep
frying peanut butter.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Watching all the yellow the deep frying accidents, that's that's
jump on YouTube every year and go, let's see you,
let's see who burn themselves. Let's see what caught on
fire this year. Because you can't put him in frozen, right,
that was the big mistake when those defairs came out,
and uh, we're all the rage, right, there were a
bunch of people that didn't realize it had to be

(34:15):
a completely thought turkey, and they would throw a frozen
turkey and it'd just go cause a massive It is
time once again for Florida Man. Florida Man up Bump Bump, Bump,
bump Bump. Man in Florida was arrested after threatening police
with a flamethrower. Oh wow, all right. Police and Florida

(34:42):
were called to a report of an explosion and smoke
on Monday night, and when they got there, they encountered
a thirty nine year old man named Joseph Morriton who
was yelling at them from his backyard. I don't know
what he blew up something. He came out front armed
with a handheld flamethrower and pointed it at police, threatening them.

(35:07):
Cops had their guns drawn. The student's lucky he didn't
get shot. I mean, he's pointing a weapon at two
cops with their guns drawn, and somehow he was close
enough to where one of the cops was actually able
to grab the flamethrower out of his hands. So the
cop ripped it out of his hands and he retreated

(35:28):
into his house. When he came back out, he tried
to blind a police officer with one of those super
bright flashlights. He was then tasted all that he didn't
get shot, just tased him, took him into police custody,
charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting

(35:49):
an officer.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Is it legal that I own a flamethrower?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah? I think so. Yeah, for the most part. I
was on a website the other day that sells flamethrowing
drones and flamethrowing robot dogs, so you can have it
like a guard dog that it's got a flamethrower on
its back. It's a robot dog. I totally want one.
It takes like ten thousand dollars, though. I want this
flame thrown or a flamethron drone. A lot of people

(36:15):
use it to like clear like controlled burns. They'll use
a flamethrower to like clear fields. You know. They have
their their uses.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I don't want them for that. I don't want them
for my own entertainment.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
I'm sure it depends on the state when it comes
to flamethrowers, Like maybe the average person should not have
a flamethrower, but I want one.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I want one.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
I mean that just looks like a ton of fun.
That's yeah. I'd pull that puppy out on the fourth
of July and go. You want fireworks? Yeah, I bet
it depends on the state. I bet it does. It
is DC's classic rock. We will check them with Dennis
Sports on tap coming up just around the corner. It's
it's eight twenty seven stick Crime, DC's class Crock. It's

(37:01):
big one hundred. There's Billy Joel, it's eight forty. He's
talking about the game tonight with Dennis here Denver at
New Orleans and the Broncos are minus three in this
game and Broncos minus three, and I'm like, all right,
I'm gonna take the Saints.

Speaker 10 (37:16):
So you got Bo Nicks against Spencer Rattler, who's in
for David Carr, who's out for the Saints rookie quarterback.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
But it's in New Orleans. And have you ever been
to that stadium? I have not. I won a couple
of years ago. So the gorgeous Eagles play. They redid
it too. They've put in a lot of improvements in it.
It is so loud because it's enclosed, right, and it
is just it's beautiful, so loud, and New Orleans is

(37:43):
a trip.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Man.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
You can just walk down the street drinking a beer.
Nobody cares. It really is the best there. It's a
fun place to go see a game. Yeah, it's so loud.

Speaker 10 (37:54):
Well, I suggest that whatever your gut feeling is about tonight,
I do exactly the opposite. Stanza and I had a
bet a fifty year on it.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
So I'm thinking Saints, right, yeah, all right, I go, okay,
now you're gonna give up the points. I should bet
a do you wanna do the money line? I should
bet the Broncos, Okay, and then I'll come in tomorrow
and the Saints will have won. And if I bet
the Saints, he'll come tomorrow on the Broncos will have won.
This is Jackson and the boy need you to win
some games here. I need to do something. I need
to win some games here. This is terrible. How are

(38:23):
our chances looking against Carolina? I'd say pretty good right now.
The point spread on that is eight. So if you
will want to bet on Carolina, you start at eight
nothing right now, and if you're commanded, that's a lot
of points. And it's you know what, it's gone up
a half a point since yesterday. So it was it
was seven and a half. I thought and a half.
It was seven and a half. Vegas is daring get

(38:46):
a bet on that? Game.

Speaker 10 (38:48):
If it were six and a half, I have zero
problem with that, but eight is a lot.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (38:53):
So, but Carolina is coming in whooped up. It's not
a good football team.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
We should win that game. I'm low. Yeah, yeah, we should.
You never want to take a team lately, especially a team.

Speaker 10 (39:05):
That really I already talked about it with Florio today,
and you know, this one is a game that I
think they should win and win handily. And then you
move on to a great Chicago Bear game, which they
flexed to four twenty five on the twenty seventh.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
That's going to be a fun game to It's going
to be great number one draft pick against the.

Speaker 10 (39:20):
Well it's a showcase game and that's why CBS moved
it to four to twenty five.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
You got Nansen Romo coming in to call the game. Yeah,
and chicago'starting to look good.

Speaker 10 (39:27):
And then Bram and London are going to have a
coronary during the game, So it's gonna be it's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
A great game. I'm worried about Bram. Have you enjoyed
the Bram camps. I'm just hoping he's We got one
posted up from yesterday. Blood pressure meds or something. I
was just worried his heart's gonna explain.

Speaker 10 (39:41):
I gotta tell you, London is just as entertaining as
Braham is in those videos.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
They do a great job. Those guys get fired.

Speaker 10 (39:47):
And you should on the radio. It's great. They're having
a good time. Yeah, and it's got to be fun
to call Jayden. And by the way, the play that
we posted up was that one that put in the
corner in the in the fourth quarter play where you
talked about he had only about four.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Inches to work with window And have you heard I
saw an interview with McLaurin. He he faked the slant. Yes,
so he was gonna run a slant, and I watched
the All twenty two the overhead camera one. The pattern
that he ran was incredible, incredible. So he starts, he
fakes on the slant. He apparently told Jaden, if you

(40:19):
see me break away, yeah, create space, I'm gonna I'm
gonna face. He actually said that. Yeah, So he faked
the slant and they ran a fade into the corner
and yeah, oh my god, there was there was the
size about the size of a football. It's about the
space he had to throw.

Speaker 10 (40:36):
I want to tell people about Terry McLaurin because everybody
is watching play. The reason why Terry McLaurin is so successful,
like a lot of other wide receivers and sometimes he
plays the slot a little bit, is not because he's fast,
not because he has great handles or all attributes that
he has steroids. I can't speak to that.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
No, not mclauren.

Speaker 10 (40:56):
He's not even a big good He runs one of
the best patterns that you can ever run out there,
his route running, his top shelf.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
He creates space.

Speaker 10 (41:06):
That's why guys like Tyler Lockett and all these other
guys who are not super fast run these incredible patterns.
And when you can run a great route like Terry
can and you get open all the time, that's why
he has the success he does. He has a lot
of other tools. He's very good at what he does.
But watch his route running. It is impeccable. Great routes

(41:28):
and for that touchdown great as you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Go watch that. He's just all around. By the way.
I love his leadership too.

Speaker 10 (41:36):
They don't hear a peep out of that guy now,
even when things are going sideways. He's a great leader
on and off any money that that guy gets in
the in the future is well deserved.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
He is the only guy in the Yeah, they should
back up the Brinks truck for that guy. Yeah, keep
him on this. They're going to have to about a
year here, but yeah, he's earned it. He's the only
guy in the Commanders that makes me feel human when
I when I you know, interview players at training camp
or yeah, because you talk to him, grab a picture
or whatever, because he's the only guy that's like my size, right,

(42:08):
Like he's a normal sized human. You stand next to
somebody like Cosmi or even zach Ertz and you just
look like a midget. Yeah, Terry mclurn's like regular human size. Hey,
speaking of.

Speaker 10 (42:20):
Zach Ertz, Lisa Bergan's talking to Zach today that will
air about one twenty five, So Zach is going to
pop on him, by the way. You know, we talked
about this about Zach coming in, and we knew that
he was on the latter side of his career.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Love Zach.

Speaker 10 (42:34):
Yeah, and Zach doesn't practice a much because he just
did want to keep him fresh. But he's having a
renaissance and the reason why is because of Jaydon Daniels
and Zach is catching some really big passes the last
three games, and I am I'm here for it because
we need a tight end to catch pass.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
I watched Zach play for years in Philadelphia and he's
one of the best. He is one of the best,
and he is also one of the most clutch players
on the plane. When you and you'll see towards the
end of the season, when you need that guy to
step up and make a big catch, he will.

Speaker 10 (43:05):
As long as he stays healthy, I think you I
think I agree with that. He's going to be good shape.
But you know, he was coming out of the gate
a little bit slow. But I think as he got
to know his quarterback, he's starting to get open now
and Jaden's finding him, yeah, which is great, Which is great.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
He's a big target, Yeah, hard to miss, big guy. Yeah.
I'm looking forward to the game this weekend and really
looking forward to that Bears game. Not to get ahead
of ourselves, but we got a couple of good home
games home games. A little baseball tonight before I wrap
up with you, guys got Yankees at Guardians tonight. That
is a five o'clock first pitch, and the Yankees are
leading to nothing or sorry, yeah, two nothing in that series,

(43:40):
and then in the NLCS that one's a little bit closer.

Speaker 10 (43:43):
Dodgers at the Mets tonight. That is an eight o'clock
pitch and the Dodgers are leading to one in that series.
All right, thank you, okay, guy, appreciate, have a good one.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Let's give away some tickets for the home game this
weekend in Northwest Stadium against the Carolina Panthers, and we'll
do it with what have we learned on the show today?
What do we got?

art fire station in Germany.
