(00:03):
In its earliest day is the majorfunction of radio was news? What's going

for everyone who loves music and murder. Come on, chaps, we got
it a show to dude. Showtime. Are you ready? I'm ready?
Your baby? Read job and wherewe go? What's today? Wednesday?

(00:46):
Yes, big rack, morning's Jacksonhere six ten and happy Wednesday morning to
you. I gotta buy a parka. That's what I gotta do. A
parka. A parka, you know, big heavy coat, like a big
hit, like a park and mucklucks. The chilli weather gets to you this
morning. Well, you know it'salways cold in here. We always complain

(01:06):
about it. It's I don't knowwhat they do in this building, but
it is always like you're standing outsidein mid December in this building, like
people wear coats and hats. Inthe studio we all look like we were
skiing yesterday. It's ridiculous. Ihave no idea, but whatever I get
out of here, I go hometo my warm place. It's usually fine.

(01:29):
For some reason, last night myheat quit working. It didn't quit
working completely, it it just won'tget over like sixty eight degrees. You
know, I like it a littlewarmer, especially after spending all day here.
It's so at some point, likeyesterday afternoon, I noticed it,

(01:49):
and then I noticed it this morning. And it doesn't matter where I set
it, you know, it justwon't get over that temperature. It's blown.
I can stand on a chair andjump up and feel the vents and
it's blown. But it's blown,kind of like lukewarm air. You know.
Have you reported that I'm going totoday? Yeah, yeah, that
sounds like a maintenance yeah, forthis building. However, well here,

(02:10):
I don't know. There's there's nothingyou can do. Put in a ticket,
Put in a ticket, put itin a ticket. It was so
cold in the studio yesterday that likeI I think I had icicles, Like
my hands were numbs. My handswere numbs something. It's really bad,
it really does. We're not notexaggerating. There have been days where I've
been like I gotta I gotta leave. It's it. Don't go work at

(02:34):
home, it's too cold. I'vehad I've had steam coming off my breath
in the studio. Isn't that crazy? Yeah? Yeah, it must be
a I wonder what it is becausethe whole it's it must be a just
certain parts of the building, becausethe whole, the whole floor is not
like it probably costs more to heatit too. That too, I didn't
think about that. You know,engineers through the years have always told me

(02:59):
in places where it's cold, well, we have to keep the equipment cool.
We can't have the equipment overheat.Like, yeah, I'm pretty sure
it's not gonna overheating. If yousaid it at sixty eight, you'll be
fine. Yeah, it's not gonnaoverheat. You'll be good. A question
for you. Yeah, die Hard, Yeah, Christmas movie. Thank you?
All right, at least we agreeon one thing. I'm never gonna

(03:19):
be on your side on the pineappleon pizza, But Diehard is a Christmas
movie. Yes, it is.Gonna do a conversation with somebody about that
last night, and there's gonna bepeople who are saying, well, you
know, Bruce Willis says it's notand I'm gonna quote what Bruce Bruce Willis
said. I think he did sayit was no. He what he said
was Diehard's not a Christmas movie,It's an effing Bruce Willis movie. Okay,

(03:40):
so see that's what he was doing. But people forget that he was
making it about himself, that hewas doing that on purpose. If you
were to ask Bruce Willis now,he'd probably respond, what that's it.
I actually feel really bad for BruceWillis student. I saw a picture his

(04:01):
I think his daughter posted and itgot me, like, I was like,
because you know, I've always beena fan, Yeah, and it
got me like she was she wassitting they looked like they were sitting on
a porch and she was sitting nextto him. Excuse me, just hold
in his hand and you could seehe had that My stepfather had Alzheimer's and
that's stare. You just know it, like they're there but they're not there.

(04:25):
Ye. And I immediately recognized thatstare. He was just kind of
staring off in the space, andI was like, Uh, how far
is he? Like, I don'tknow, I think his is is getting
bad rapidly? Is the case?Because I haven't seen anything from like any
interviews, any anything of him?And yeah, a year or two,

(04:46):
no, Yeah, No, Ithink he's I think he's gone at this
point. Like it's bad, bad, And the only reason I know that
is because I think, I wantto say, it's on Instagram. One
of his daughters has an account,and I always see updates on her account
and she'll just post pictures. Right. Man. It's just like, oh
my god. It feels so badfor him because he went from rock star
and completely normal to snap of afingerman. He's like that scary stuff.

(05:12):
But you know what is finally streaming? What's that Hulu? Moonlighting? Oh
that was such a great show.Oh I started watching it and it's just
as good as it ever was.That'll bring back memories. That's an old
show. Five. Yeah, Iwatched it in high school. Yeah,
I did too, And it wasduring that show. It was like near

(05:33):
the end of that when you know, because Sybil Shepherd was the star of
that show and it was nobody.Yeah. But he went off and to
die Hard and the next thing youknow, he's a huge, superstar,
huge. I'm gonna watch Diehard thisseason, just probably several times. Oh,
you gotta watch die Hard too,just to celebrate Bruce Willis's life.
Die Hard Too takes place at Dulles. I don't know if I can do

(05:57):
it too. It's just like thefirst one. If you do, the
first one is the exact same plot. I said, it's local. I
found a list of the America's favoriteholiday films. That's why I asked,
and Diehard was on there. It'snumber ten. Favorite Christmas movies to watch
when the Holidays roll around in atnumber nine. Miracle on thirty fourth Street,

(06:17):
number eight, The Santa Claus numberseven, It's a Wonderful Life,
number six. Christmas Vacation. That'sone my family watches every year, and
we've also started pretty much every yearwatching Elf, which is in at number
five because it's just fantastic. Rudolphthe Red Nose Reindeer is still at number
four. Charlie Brown Christmas up atnumber three. A Christmas Story at number

(06:38):
two. Don't tell me, justnumber one. Four huh Rocky four?
No Home Alone? Oh okay thattoo, that's okay. Yeah. My
favorite scene in Elf is when hejumps into the Christmas tree. You know
the scene I'm talking about, whenit's like a background scene, balances and

(06:59):
jumps up and it's just pure slapstick, just boom. Yeah, I laugh
every time I see it. Iused to laugh every time Chevy Chase would
fall down. Remember he used tojust that was his his stick. He
would just walking. I heard somebodysay they did an interview with him and
he walked in for the interview,and that he did it. It just
fell down, just tripped over something, filled down. Was that an SNL

(07:20):
interview? No? I think itwas. No, I think it was.
It was somebody interviewing for him fora movie he had done or something.
But he used to do it allthe time. He would just you
know, people like, oh yeah, he did that at Christmas part He
used to make people laugh, allright. He had his moment of shining
for a yeah. Yeah. Andthen Chris Farley, remember he used to

(07:43):
do the belly flop on the tablesand stuff. He was a funny dude
too. So all of that stuff, that slapstick stuff. I'll laugh at
him, man, I always laughat slapstick. I like it. I
don't mind it at all. Soyeah, there you go, man.
Make sure you get home Alone onthe list. Make sure you get die
Hard on the list. Make sureyou get Elf on the list. Christmas.

(08:05):
going deep. You're getting deep withthem. Yeah, coming up things I
know this morning. Plus we havea chance for you to win Commander's Dolphins
tickets again today Big Word of theWeek, New letter coming to wait at
seven thirty. That's for Hoody andthe Blowfish tickets for a show with the
Big Lube Joint there in August.August seventeenth, is this show. I

(08:26):
know it's a ways off, butit's not really a ways off. It's
not too far off before you knowit. Yeah, really will well,
I don't know. Time kind ofslows down when it gets cold in my
head, like summer goes by reallike in seconds. January and February this
drag. Also this morning we willchat with Zach Selby from Commanders dot Com.

(08:50):
Got to Dennis in with Sports alittle bit later and more. It
is Big one hundred. Good morning. This is Big Morning with Jackson on
Washington's Classic Rock. Big one hundred, Washington's Classic Rock. It's a big
one. Chili Pepper Scar tissue sixthirty two. Good morning. It's cold.

(09:15):
That's all you need to know.That's your forecast. It's cold sucks,
say you know the average high tempthis time, you're supposed to be
like fifty four degrees. Today it'slike we'll be like it hit forty.
But we went from having eighty fivedegree highs at the end of October.
Yeah, I don't know global warming, some cramp like that. I don't

(09:39):
winter. Uh. Yeah, didyou see this poll this morning of they
were asking parents about kids, andyou have two kids, so you would
know how kids ask the weirdest questionsA and B. They say that a
kid, uh, we'll ask eleventhousand or eleven questions a day, more

(10:05):
than four thousand questions a year,everything from like why is the sky so
high? Or why how can fishswim with their eyes open? Like I
remember when my son was, youknow, in that curious young age where
he would ask questions about everything.You know, what kind of tree is
that? You know? Half thetime you don't have the answer four thousand

(10:28):
questions a day? Were times Igoogle things so that I would know how
to answer him. I'd like,yeah, I'll talk you about that in
just a second. Hold on,and uh, you know it falls under
kids say the darnedest things, right? But who used to do that?
Bit there was a late night showthat used to a bit on kids,

(10:50):
where it would be like kids sayingthe craziest stuff, they're hilarious. Dude,
was Carson? I might have beenCarson. My kid asked me one
day. He's like he just outof nowhere when he was like six,
Dad, did when you were akid, did you guys write with feathers?
I'm like, no, we didn'twrite with feathers, because you know,

(11:11):
in school he'd seen pictures of oldyou know, people writing with quill
and bottles of ink. And I'mlike, no, we did not write
with feathers. Kid. The kidssay The Darkness Things was a show?
Was it? Yeah? You knowwhat it was? Aftercars? Like,
yeah, it was, OK,that's what it was. I used to

(11:33):
love that show. Yeah, Ithought it was a bit, but I
guess not because it was its itsown show. Because dude, nothing will
make you laugh harder than kids askingquestions because they are just clueless and they
say the funniest thing, Yes theydo. It's pure honesty. Oh yeah,
they have no filter, right,Like I own a gym back in

(11:54):
Philly and martial arts school and Iteach a lot of kids classes and they
just zero filter zero, like yourbrast smeuths funny today? Or how come
you don't have hair? Why doyou only have one eye? Right?

(12:15):
Can I look at it? Theyjust don't care, man, don't care.
Eighty one percent of parents in thispoll said they learn just as much
from their kid as their kids learnfrom them, due to the fact that
kids ask so many questions and theywant to answer them, so they go
out and learn to answer their kids. And on average, parents say kids
actually teach them up to five thingsa week or two hundred and sixty things.

(12:39):
Things they ask are things that youwould never never think about, you
know, if somebody just recently,No, it wasn't recently. I saw
the quote recently. I think itwas Carl Sagan, and the quote was,
and I'm paraphrasing, but he wassaying that when kids are young,
he's like, they're so curious,like how far away is the star?

(13:00):
Are out? You know? Howfar away is the moon? And they
have all these questions and he's like, and then by the time they get
to high school, he's like,they don't care about anything. He's like,
they don't give a crap about anything. He's like, something is happening
between grades K and twelve where kidsare losing curiosity. And I was like,
wow, you know that is interestingbecause they want to know about everything

(13:22):
until they reach a certain point andthen they don't want to hear anything at
all. And I was like,wow that, you know. So now
I just force stuff down my kid'sthroat. You're gonna learn this. Hey,
you know why this, and he'llbe like I don't care, Like,
well, you're gonna listen, you'regonna learn. Today there was a

(13:43):
display of a fallout shelter, likeone of the fallout shelters that people used
to build in the in the sixtiesand seventies. Yeah, and so Lex
asked me about it. He's like, oh, what what is that?
What is that? And so Iexplained, so, well, during this
time, you know, people wereafraid of nuclear war, and so they
would build this because you know,the nuclear bombs. And then I told
him about what happened in Japan andthe whole thing with the with the nuclear

(14:09):
race, and he knew none ofthat stuff until I told him, and
then he was horrified at the thoughtof all of it. So I just
sput it all out right there.That's yeah, it's I mean, I
grew up with that and my parentswere military, so it take that tenfold
because we grew up on military basis, my brothers and I and you know,

(14:30):
so we knew what follow shelters werewhen we were like five, and
I used to think it was sofunny that we used to have to do
these drills at school and you cancover ye. Well, they would have
us like get under our desk andcover our heads and put our you know
hands, heads between our knees,or they would line us all up out
in the hallways against the lockers andyou'd sit and put your head between and
I'm like, it's hits, youknow, Strategic Air Command and Omaha,

(14:56):
Nebraska. Me sticking my head betweenmy knees is not gonna save me because
there would be cool shadows engraved intothe ground. So it's like, you
know, it took me a whileas I got older, I was like,
man, this is stupid. Ifthe new kids, we're not none
of this is going to work.Yeah, it was. We went through

(15:16):
all those drills, and especially atbecause we were stationed at off At Air
Force Base Noma, which was Iwonder if it still is Strategic Air Command.
That's where the huge like you know, thousands of meters underground is like
the the you know, the bunkerto Air Command, so they can run
the whole country from you know,a new proof uh you know layer way

(15:41):
down below the earth. We actuallygot to tour when we were kids,
so they only take you down sofar, but it's pretty cool. So
we had on that base. Theywould test the air sirens every Sunday at
noon, you know, and they'dgo for like a couple of minutes every
on day at noon. You knewwhat time it was because they would test

(16:02):
the arisirens, bomb raid and thenthey would double as because it was in
the Midwest, they would also doubleas tornado warnings, so if a tornado
was coming, they'd go off.So if it went off any other time,
then Sunday at noon there was eithera tornado or Russian bombers were overhead.
Which one was scari You got usedto tornadoes in the Midwest, so

(16:26):
probably the Russian bombs probably you gotused to tornadoes. They were just it
was a regular occurrence, you know, tornado season. It was like every
other day if they're nasty. Don'tget me wrong, but the odds of
them hitting your strip of land.You know, your odds are pretty good.
You just go down into the basementand turn on the radio and duck
and cover. Yeah. Where'd yougrow up? Yeah, Virginia. Yeah,

(16:48):
near the other side. Other sideof Virginia though, so you really
didn't have tornadoes. I mean they'rerare, yeh, super rare. Yeah.
Yeah. Well in some place likeNebraska, oh yeah, it's like
every other day. Yeah. Butas a kid, people like you ever
seen a tornado, I'm like,yeah, countless tons of them all right.
Coming up here in just a bit, we'll get things I know,

(17:10):
And on the Commander's Dolphins Tickets thismorning, we're gonna do things we learned
on the show today, so youknow how that works. Coming up close
to give or take ten minutes aroundwhen Dennis comes in for Sports about eight
to fifty, we give you alittle trivia question about something we talked about
on the show this morning. Couldhave been bomb shelters, could have been
air raid sirens, could have beenhis DieHarder Christmas movie thus far. And

(17:37):
that will be your chance if youanswer the question correctly to win the Dolphins
Commander's Tickets. New letter coming yourway at seven thirty for the big word
of the Week Hooty and the Blowfish. Tickets up for grabs this week.
It is six forty one Good Morning, Washington's classic Rocket. It's a big
one hundred behind blow Eyes. There'sthe who you know you're talking about kids
and the crazy questions they ask.And I've been obsessed lately with kids talking

(18:00):
about past lives when they're really,really young. Right. I can't remember
how I even stumbled into the topic. I think it was one of,
you know, just one of thosekind of probably clickbait articles or something.
It was like, you know,it gave a bunch of different examples of
kids going, you know, stufflike, oh, I remember when we
used to do this when I wasyour mommy, or you know, I

(18:22):
got married in that house over there, right, So I always thought that
was kind of creepy. And thenyou know, they would say that,
then they would ask they'd keep askingtheir kids questions, and then they would
say within ten minutes they forgot theyeven said it. And it only seems
to happen between you know, acertain age, at a very young age,
and they say these things and thenyou know, that's it, and
they can they have these memories oftentimes, and then you know, by the

(18:45):
time they were reached six or sevenor older, they lose them. They're
gone forever. They have no ideawhat you're talking about that could be part
of normal brain development. Sure couldbe. I read a book and this
is first got me really interested,because I have several books on it and
others. This the group of scientistsI think they're at a Yale or Harvard,

(19:06):
and they've been studying this phenomenon foryears and they actually traveled the world
to investigate cases. Like cases willbe reported to them, like really in
depth ones where like the kid islike, yeah, I lived in this
town and I hid a key inthis place, and they'll go and they'll
find the key in that place.The kid said they hit it a five

(19:29):
year old, right. It's justcreepy. So it's super interesting to dive
into. But I think what firstcaught my interest was they laugh about it
because it was a girl I workedwith years and years ago, and to
think she had a little crush.Okay. So I heard from people around
the station and they were like,uh, you know, she's like really
uh okay, and she brings mea book one day because we had had

(19:53):
a conversation about this, and shebrings me a book one day called Only
Love Is Real and she hands itto me. She because I really think
you should read this now. Ofcourse, the first thing it's on I
was like, oh, okay,hey, thank you. I'm like,
what what what is this? AndI took it home and I read the
back cover. I was like,oh, okay, it's not It's completely

(20:17):
unrelated. So I dive into thebook because I'm like, wow, this
really does sound interesting. It's abouta shrink. This is reality. It's
about this psychiatrist that runs a practice. I think it was in New York
or something. Have you read it? So I think his name is doctor
Weiss, Michael Weiss. If Irecall, I can look at him.
But he runs a practice and hestarted playing around for like hypnotherapy, you

(20:41):
know, which a lot of shrinksdo. Then they kind of put you
half under and have you talk.And he started to notice a trend with
people like telling stories like almost fromlike past lives, you know, like
I was involved in this war andI die and he you know, he
blew it up off at first andjust thought it was brain stuff, you

(21:02):
know, dreams, nothing more thanlike which probably when you go to sleep
and have a dream. So he, you know, eventually had two patients
and it took them a while tofigure this out. And this is when
he wrote the book. You hada male and a female patient who did
not know each other, and hewould put them under and they would talk,
and they started telling the same storiesfrom different sides, if that makes

(21:27):
sense. So like father, daughter, brother, you know, mother,
whatever, you know, lovers,you know. So the whole book is
about like soulmates and about like soulsthat you're attracted to that you're going to
find in this life and the nextlife and the next life and the next
life. But it's not always goingto be like you know, people imagine
like, oh that will be mywife. No, it could be your

(21:48):
son, it could be your mother, it could be your sister. Right,
but you keep finding these souls.The philosophy behind it, how do
you test that? Well, youcan't. It's like anything else. How
do you test is there a god? How do you test is there satan?
How do you test anything? Youcan't? Right? You know,
do you still have people running aroundhere convinced that the earth is flat?

(22:11):
Dude? You can't, you know. So the book it's really good because
there he puts them under they're tellingit takes me a while to figure it
out, but they're telling the samestories just from a different point of view.
Is the book, you know,it's reality. He ran a practice
and this is he wrote the book. And the big thing was, before
he wrote the book, he wasafraid he was going to be a pride.
He was like, they're going tothrow me out of this profession.

(22:32):
They're going to think I'm crazy.This is nuts. It was freaking him
out. But he's like documented severaldifferent stories where they're telling the exact same
story details, and he finally islike, screw it, I gotta write
a paper on this or something.So he did, and then it eventually
led to the book. And thenwhen he wrote the book, Psychiatrist,
all over the world came out ofthe woodwork going yeah, we've experienced that

(22:56):
too, and so he wasn't castin a negative light. Actually it just
created more research, so it hada positive effect on the whole thing.
But again, it's like, youknow, how do you well, if
they could rule out the you know, the past lives part of it and
just focus on the science behind it. Then that's that's a that's the universe

(23:17):
is interesting. We have the idea, you have no idea. Well,
that's what I'm saying, instead ofjumping to that key conclusion, Well,
that's no hokier than you know,a virgin woman giving birth to a savior
of the world. No, it'snot. No, what I'm saying is
like all of them are on thesurface like, oh, that might be
kind of hokey, but it's like, you know, the whole Buddhism,

(23:40):
that's it's based on that entire philosophy. That's something that that can be studied.
And if if it's studied, whyis that happening? Why are they
having the same story instead of sohe so he puts the book out,
He tells the story. People comeout of the woodwork. Now there is
these major universities that have research departmentsthat are going and doing it. So
the latest one I'm reading is they'restudying like parts of Southeast Asia and parts

(24:07):
of India, and they'll get areport and they'll send their team, you
know, of like all these scientistsand researchers and they'll go over there and
they'll be like this little five yearold kid. He claims, you know,
he was born in this village,and he can tell you, you
know, the names of the peoplein the town. He can tell you
where things are hidden, he cantell you what you know, who died

(24:29):
and how they died. And thenthey go and they study it and it
all comes together and it's all true, and so they're just fascinated by it.
And then that gets into the partwhere the kids that can remember how
they died will often have a birthmarkof some sort in that area. So
like meaning if they you know,I was shot in World War two,

(24:51):
you know, right, and thenthey'll have like a birthmark on their chest,
or you know, I fell offa horse and broke my leg which
led to a blood clatt and Idied, and you know, they'll have
a birthmark on their legs. Sothat that was in that part of the
book right now, where they're tryingto, you know, determine if birthmarks
are connecting. It's like it's kindof creepy but kind of very interesting,

(25:12):
very interesting, right, And youknow, of course people are skeptical,
but can be skeptical about every singlething in this world. Dude, we
have an entire country that yeah,you know runs on the notion of one
nation under God. Right, Okay, well you know what I mean.

(25:37):
You can be skeptical of all ofit. But the universe is a vast
and unexplainable thing. And I don'tthink any of us have any idea.
No, So one thing is notany crazier than the next. One idea
is not any crazier than the next. To think that you might just be
energy, die, go away andcome back, that's no more unrealistic than

(25:57):
anything else we think about our beliefso and we'll never know until we die.
Then you'll know. Then you'll findout. But dude, I'm telling
you, these kids' stories are intensewhen they when they're dead on about all
this stuff, and you know,you're like, okay, how is that
possible? How? How? Howwhat a four year old nowhere? Something's

(26:23):
hidden in a village a thousand milesaway. It's interesting in a place they've
never been very interesting. It's crazyanyway, makes for a really good read.
It it's time for things, Iknow. Yeah, there, you
know, you just push the button, see the one says one flick That
wasn't the one that I pushed.I wish it I was gonna say,

(26:45):
I wish it were actually that simple. Was just the one that says it
on But it's not the actor responsiblefor the voice in Field of Dreams that
you know, the guy that says, if you build it, he will
come. Nobody knows who that isnever been confirmed. A lot of people
think it's Kevin Costner, some peoplethink it's Ray Liota. Others have claimed
it's Ed Harris. Phil Robinson,the guy that directed the film, says

(27:08):
he just thinks it's funny that noone knows and it remains mystery. He
has, however, confirmed that noone has ever guessed it correctly. That's
interesting. I see, that's interesting. Paul McCartney wrote a song called Woman
for the group Peter and Gordon.Did it under the pseudonym Bernard Web He
wanted to prove that his songs couldstill be hits without his name attached to

(27:32):
him. It did make it tonumber fourteen on the Billboard chart. There
go. We are in currently thelongest period ever since the US added a
state. It's been sixty four yearssince Hawaii was added as a state.
Previous stretch before that was forty sevenyears between Arizona and Alaska. That's been
too long. Come on, PuertoRico. The reason for the majority of

(27:55):
police uniforms being blue, that's apost Civil War thing. There was a
cer close surplus rather of blue armyuniforms that they didn't know what to do
with, so they repurposed them forpolice departments all over the country, and
the color just stuck. Finally,the slogan don't Mess with Texas, which
you see on bumper stickers all overthe place, and you see it all

(28:17):
over the place in Texas, actuallycame from an anti glittering ad campaign from
the eighties and just stuck. Andnow it's you know, looked at it
all those like, yeah, don'tmess with Texas, But it was actually
a thing to get people quit throwingtrash out their windows on the highways.
Don't mess with Texas. There yougo. It is seven o two and

(28:38):
it is big one hundred. GoodMorning Washington was classic rock. It's a
big one hundred. John Fogerty Centerfield. Yeah. Man, my head will
just swim for hours when I startthinking about all that stuff, the universe,
all the possibilities, the world,religions, and it's like, well,
we were just saying off the air. I was like, is it
Hinduism that believes in the they won'tkill cows? I could, I could

(28:59):
be completely wrong that, but Iknow there's you know, certain parts of
the world where cows areroam the streets, like religions run together. Yeah,
which one's which? But yeah,And that was one of the most fascinating
classes I took in college was WorldReligions. I opened up just a Pandora's
box. To me, I waslike, whoa, and super fascinating.
How similar a lot of the backstoriesare. Yeah, right, it's crazy.

(29:22):
But and if I'm wrong about that, I'm wrong about that about that,
but I think it's Hindus. Maybenot, but that's just a reincarnation
thing. They won't they won't killa cow because they think it could be
a person. And you know,it's like one of the world's largest billions
of followers. And they look atyou know, evangelicals and go, you

(29:44):
guys believe in some fantasy dude inthe sky, and we look at them
and go, and you believe thatcow is a person. And I think
they're all crazy, and who knows, it could just be lights out And
that's it man who knows none ofus will ever know, which is why
I find it all so fascinating.I love just reading about all of it
because I'm like, hmm, interesting. It's like, that's how they find
the Dalai Lama, right, yeah, he dies, They're like, he's

(30:08):
going to come back, and wegot to go find him. They go
out on a search for a kiduntil they, you know, I guess
a board of directors I don't knowit determines yeah, he's the one,
and then that's your next thing isthe process. I have no idea how
how that the there causes pretty goodmovies on it. Basically, when the

(30:30):
Dalai Lama dies, they know he'sgoing to come back because you know,
it's a tenant in Buddhism is reincarnation. So he's going to come back,
and so they have to go findhim again. And so you know Dalai
lamas, they typically find them whenthey're kids, and they so they like
this the one we have. Now, when when did he become Dalai Lama?
Probably when it was like eight Theywent out and found him. And

(30:52):
now when he dies, they'll waitfor him to reincarnate and they'll go find
him. How do they determine that. So I watched, Now, this
was a movie. But again,there are a couple of good, kind
of you know, interesting movies onit on the Dalai Lama and uh,
I want to say. In theone I watched, it was a lot

(31:15):
of reports coming in, like wethink he's here, and and then they'll
send their team out to go interviewthe kid and talk to the kid,
and they'll go, now it's notin I don't know how they determine if
it is or if it isn't.And then you know, in in this
movie, they were they were kindof bouncing all over the country and all
over parts of the world for suspectedDalai lamas Dali lamas? Is it plural?

(31:45):
Like that is it? Does ithave an s on it? I
think there's only I think one.I think there's only one Dalai Lama.
He just keeps coming back, Isn'tthat crazy? Yeah? And I'm like
I always used to think, whatif they f it up, what if
they get thrown, what if he'snot He's not the one, He's not

(32:06):
the one. I don't know.I think you know, you're brought up
with whatever you're brought up with,and that's what you believe, and you'll
you'll a lot of people are superhardcore and what they believe because that's what
they're you know, I've brought upChristian, you know, my family was
all, you know, Baptist,and yeah, I don't believe any of
it, I think myself, andwell I do that sometimes as an adult.
And you know that old saying there'sno there's no atheist in a foxhole.

(32:30):
It's like, you know, it'slike I see people that are like,
yeah, I don't believe in anything, and then the minute they get
into some situation where their life's indanger or something're like, oh please God,
Please God. It's like, whoyou talking to, dude? I
thought you didn't believe he was upthere? So you know, Nope,
we'll never know. Yeah, youknow, one we'll find out when we
kick the bucket. Yeah, I'ma big believer in I shouldn't say I'm

(32:55):
a big believer. I hope andpray that it's either likes up for good
right, so you die and that'sjust it gone. You turned to dirt
and that's it. That's done right, or some sort of reincarnation where you
come back in a pleasant way,or the whole idea of like being What

(33:22):
scares me is the whole idea oflike in any religion being judged. That's
a way to set it up.Well, yes, yes, you make
a very good point there, andthat's kind of the history of the world
right there and summed up in onesentence. But yeah, the whole the

(33:42):
whole thought of like, well,you might get thrown into a fiery pit
and suffer eternally. No wonder peopleare afraid of death, all right.
So when I was at my mom'sThanksgiving, I told you my mom is
just no. So she she hasreligious stuff everywhere, like it's it's Christian,

(34:02):
Catholic. What what is she thatshe's she remembers she's in the middle
of nowhere. So Catholicism not popularthere because it's mainstream Catholicism is too uh,
too easygoing. She's I think CarrieWhite's mom like a Baptist or Protestant

(34:24):
further further, further extreme, Likeyou know the Baptist and Protestant in the
in the Bible belt are extreme.Okay, well that's it's extreme, very
extreme. So and I was noticing, like in her bathtub she has a
big plaque of the Ten Commandments.I think i'd ever really paid attention to

(34:47):
the Ten Commandments. Like the firstone is, don't worship anybody else,
right or you're gonna die? Right? False? Uh, no any graven
images. Second one right, uh, don't take the name of the Lord
in vain, remember the Sabbath.Honor your father and mother, shall not

(35:07):
steal not yet, adults, notyet. Then then after honor thy father
and mother. Then it gets todon't kill. That's like sixth on the
list. Well, I don't thinkit's in any sort of order you're reading.
You're like, that's how I lookedat it. It's like, so
you go through all of these theseinsecurities of like you know, hey,

(35:28):
don't forget about me. It's likeit's like the people who like who uh
talk, who post about tragedies onFacebook the day that it happens, Like,
hey, you're reading like that.It's the same thing. It's like
all these things. If you're lookingat the Ten Commandments and thinking that they
were putting some sort of order ofwhich, well then why would you number
them because it's den Well, becauseI just went through five. That don't

(35:51):
mean anything, Like get to thekill part. Okay, that's something you
shouldn't do. And I need thatlist to tell me not to do that
because I know I shouldn't do thatanyway. That would ruin someone's day if
I murdered that. I think nowheredoes it say in disorder. That's how
I take it. You put itone in front of it. I see
that as the top one. BoyAh, don't kill us Number six,

(36:16):
Yeah, I think that's just thenafter that, don't commit adultery. I
we used to talk all the timeabout how like you know about world religions,
all the way back to college andlike a World religions class, and
it would be like, you know, a lot of people had the thought
that, you know, it wasa way to give people morals, right.
It was like it was imagine asociety where you didn't fear anything bad

(36:38):
would happen to you if you didsomething bad, right, which is the
reason we have religion and laws.Again, I'm not saying that's why.
I'm just saying that that's you know, some people think that it was like
it was a way to control people. It's a way to keep them from
you know, all it is.I don't know, man control. I
think I'm coming back. There's aone legged duck kill number six, and

(37:00):
I hope, I'm hope I'm someplacewarm. All I do is just float
around. Come on, I'll bea one legged duck, so I'll probably
just swim in circles. But Ihope it's warm. Ghost why don't they
fall through floors as they get older? I am not because they float?
Oh dude, Come on, man, sorry to be irrational. You are

(37:22):
irrational. Yeah, you're saying theten commandments are in order, and I
are saying the ghosts don't fall throughfloor they float. My bad. Come
on, common sense, man,use your brain. It is a seven

(43:12):
this morning, like religion, politics, politics, that's another one that's just
gotten out of hand. Wow.Crazy. It's gotten to the point where
it's like you gotta be all inone side or the other man. You
can't be. Gone. Are thedays of the moderate? Gone? Are
the days of the guy in thecenter? No, huh, huh,
you gotta be I think you're bothcrazy. My opinion, pick a sigh

(43:35):
to unleash. You're crazy and don'tgo anywhere. I think you're both crazy,
and I think you should all justshut up and do your jobs.
There. Thanks what that's what Ithink. There was a recent poll on
some of the things that divide peoplethe most. Twenty five thousand people took
this poll on divisive questions, andwe'll, you know, gonna dumb it

(43:59):
down. We'll take a step downfrom things like uh it, well,
things that things that people kill eachother over, like religion and politics.
Nobody's going to kill each other.Well, I hope not kill each other
over these. So some of theworld's most divisive questions. Does a straw

(44:19):
have one hole? Or two?I know, who would kill over that?
Who? Florida man? Well probablyyeah, yeah, that meth does
it. That's a you know,that's a good one. It just depends
on how you look at it.Does the straw because you know, it's
it one hole or is it two? I said, it's probably probably just

(44:45):
one, right, Well, sixtyone percent said one. Thirty nine percent.
I think my definition that's what ahole would be. Well, according
to science, it's one hole.Is Diehard a Christmas movie. We talked
about this earlier this morning. Itis you're wrong if you say otherwise.
Fifty five percent said no, Well, fifty five percent of the people out

(45:06):
there are stupid. Yep. Yep. I always love that it comes up
this time of year every year.Still, I heard a Christmas movie debate
that for hours. How about thisone? Is a hot dog a sandwich?
It is meat between bread? Isa hot dog a sandwich? Eighty
one percent said no, but it'smeat between bread? What else would it

(45:30):
be? What are the other categoriesthat it can fuss? It's either a
hot dog or a sandwich. Well, I mean it's its own category.
Hot dog's its own category. It'slike a hamburger, it's its own category.
It's a hamburger type of sandwich.Though you could you could argue that,
you could say it's a it's meatbetween bread, that's a sandwich.

(45:51):
But people will be like, no, that's a hamburger, right that.
You don't say it's a hamburger sandwich. What's the definition of it? You
would say you would say turkey sandwich. She would say a chicken sandwich.
You would say a ham sandwich.You would never say a hamburger sandwich.
Nope, you would not, right, Or a hot dog sandwich. No,
they have their own categories. WhyI don't know, but eighty one

(46:15):
percent said no, it's just ahot dog. What's the best day of
the week. Saturday got forty sixpercent of the vote. Friday was second,
Monday was voted the worst. Iwant to go against that and say
Monday is my favorite day of theweek. I don't think it's That's a
very divisive question. I mean,I guess it really depends on your work
schedule. You know, if you'reMonday through Friday nine to five or this

(46:37):
makes perfect sense. If you're not, you're clearly gonna have a different day
you and I've talked about this before. Monday is generally generally our light,
easy, lighter day. Yeah.Yeah, sure, the Monday still suck
though. Does pineapple belong on pizza? Yes? That is one percent yes.
If anyone says no, that isbelieve it or not. That was

(46:58):
split right down the middle. Fiftyfifty, fifty percent said yes, fifty
percent said no, fifty percent saidyes, and fifty wrong. Which brown
No, dude? I mean,you know, you just weren't born with
tastes, that's all. Which Brownieis better edge piece or middle piece?
Middle piece? Really? Yeah?Oh, I'm an edge piece all the

(47:21):
way. Edge barely wins out fiftyone percent of the vote. That surprises
me. That edge would went outon that really nose. Most people I
know like the edge pieces. That'snot fifty you know, why would you
want just the soft gooey center whenyou can have a little bit of soft
and gooey. Yeah, but youget both. If you take an edge
piece, you get the soft andgooey and you get the crunchy out.

(47:44):
I don't need the crunchy. I'drather have the gooey. I mean,
yes, A you're one of thosepeople that you don't eat your pizza crust
too. I eat my pizza crustlike my brownie is gooey. To know,
if you were going to go fullon off the off the diving boarding,
the pineapple will soften that crust sothat it's if you'd sweet and delicious.
If you'd have said that you didn'teat your pizza crust, I'd be

(48:04):
like, yeah, he's he's gone. There's no saving this guy. Could
Jack have fit on that door inTitanic? Yes, yes, such a
BS movie dude, get on theget on the door with her. Seventy
nine percent said he could have.According to science, yes, they could

(48:28):
have both fit. Especially you believescientists argue this stuff, but they say,
especially if he had a mc guiverdRoses life jacket. I don't know
what they mean by that. Icould probably dig into it, but I
really don't care. PlayStation PlayStation orXbox PlayStation? Yeah? Same, sixty
percent said PlayStation two. This isstupid. Why would this even be on?

(48:52):
Here? Is cereal soup now?Six percent of people said yes,
because it's a A I don't know. Finally, is it okay to wear
socks with sandals? No? Fiftyseven percent said no, not a good
look. You know what it is, because I'll wear socks with sandals sometimes,

(49:15):
like a pair of crocs or slipons or something if i'm r under
the store. Right, you knowwhat it is. As you get older,
you don't care. That's true.You don't give a crap what people
think anymore. That it's not aboutlike you see younger people in the look
at old people. Oh my god, they just have no style. They
just don't know. They just don'tcare. Have you gotten to the point

(49:36):
that you wear pajamas out? Yeah? I just don't care what people think.
Period, I don't care. I'mgone are the days where I go,
Oh, I should take these socksoff before I put on these slides
and go to the store. Now, who cares? I just don't care.
So it's not that people get olderand they lose their sense of style
or they forget how to dress.It's that they don't they don't get.

(50:00):
But crap what you think? Andyou know the people that are obsessed with
it are obsessed with it, andyou're worried about what other people think.
Just my thought coming up. ZaxHelby from Commanders dot com, Senior writer
at Commanders dot com. He's gonnachat some football with us in just a
bit. We had coach Ron Riveraon the program yesterday. If you miss

(50:20):

see if you gotta I want someinteresting talkbacks from Alexa. Help me out,
people, help me out. Way. I see it as those are
sitting in your houses, in yourbedrooms. You know they're right there.

(51:04):
All you have to do is go, hey, Alexa, send a talk
back to Big one hundred, right, yeah, And you can be like
I'm just getting out of the showerand THEMN single. I'm gonna share a
story, but I actually do carewhat you think a little bit because I'm

(51:24):
not gonna share it right now.I'll tell you later. Okay, we
gotta take a break here, butwe're back to just a few. You
are listening to Big one hundred,Good Morning, Washington's Classic Rock is Big
one hundred and Jimmy Hendricks Fire BigRock Morning's Jackson Here. It's just about
nine minutes after eight o'clock and wehave sax Selby seen you ride it for

(51:45):
the website Commanders dot Com on theline with us. Talk a little Commander's
football this morning, Zach. Howyou doing, Bud? I'm doing loveer
than I was but thank you.Yeah, it's funny because you know there's
a our family is a quarrel tournamentthat we do every single year. I
could stayed obviously because I was working, so I had chaos going in my
left. I had the game thatwas chaos going going in front of me.

(52:06):
I'm just sitting there eating my Thanksgivingthere, like, I don't know
how this can get any work.It did'n't end up being like the third
most watched game, though, Ithink it was like second. I think
yeah, because I was I wasblown away by that and I was like,
well, you know, it's ThanksgivingDay and it's you know, they
are playing the Cowboys. I couldsee a lot of people tuning in.

(52:28):
I actually shut it off towards theend. I don't think I've done that
all season, but I did thistime. I just couldn't do it.
I understand it. Yeah, sometimesI wish I could have done that,
but I had to go, hadto suffer through it. Yeah. Yeah,
So tell me about tell me aboutthis interim Dbacks coach Kristin Garcia.

(52:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So Iwrote a story in him and check out
a commanders dot com. But he'shad a pretty pretty rapid rise through the
coaching ranks. He you know,he walked on it floor to after you
know, not getting a D oneoffer, had it in a being on
a videographer of Florida, end upgetting an opportunity to be on the practice
squad and then eventually playing a coupleof games there. But he was a

(53:10):
grad assistant at Georgia Tech grad statedat UNLV, got it on the coaching
staff in twenty twenty one as startedas a coaching intern and has quickly rised
up the ranks, getting promotion everysingle year to now where he's in a
chance where he's in his like earlythirties and all of a sudden he's got
attend to be a full time positioncode three years into the league. Like
that's wow, so unheard of.Yeah, and it's very interesting to see

(53:32):
what he does. I hope thatthey lead to some improvements. But I
mean, he's got a really inspirationalstory, you know, just show that
you can't never give up on yourgoals, right right, and I guess
it. You know, it remainsto be seen how he does coaching these
d backs, but it's quite possiblehe could. I don't know, you
know, you you have a greatshowing for the rest of the season,

(53:52):
that job could be yours, right, yeah, I would think so.
I mean like that that's the kindof that's kind of stuff happens all the
time. I mean, you giveit up to show what you can do
in these last little little stretch ofgames here, show some sort of improvement,
because I mean, I really dothink even though obviously your record is
what your record is, your statsare your stats, but I feel like
this this defense is better than twentyninth in the league, Like how much

(54:15):
better? We'll see. But ifyou can sort of get that talent come
back a little bit of these lastfive games, I mean, I don't
see why not. You have anopportunity and you show what you can do,
so yeah, and we'll see.That was one of the big surprises
to me was just that, youknow, they went from being a top
ranked defense last year to the kindof bottom of the barrel this year,
and it was like, honestly,it was unexpected. I thought that all

(54:37):
the problems were going to be onoffense, and it actually turned out to
be the flip side of that coin, which again I'm still kind of shocked
by. But it is what itis. We'll see what happens moving forward.
So with del rio Gan and Riverataking over calling plays for the defense,
how do you think that's going tochange things. I talked to him
yesterday and I was just like,dude, when do you sleep? Like,

(54:59):
how are you gonna do all ofthis? Yeah? You know,
honestly, coaches, I don't thinkthey sleep in general. They're like vampires
or something. But they just saythey just say say their oppos They may
just work all day. But youknow, I think I think it's gonna
be a little more simplistic. Ithink, you know, I've heard some
people say that they maybe things area little there's a little too much on
the player's plates. Possibly, Soyou want to make things a little more

(55:20):
simple for them, make sure theycan understand some of the concepts. Say
Okay, we we see this.This look, we're gonna get in this
and we're gonna be very good atit. He also mentioned during his press
earlier this week about possibly getting theDeedson wanted a little more opportunities to to
be one on one and use someof their talents because, yeah, like
Donthan Allen Deron paying like they haveit like they're good players still, like
don't get us wrong here, butthey haven't really had the numbers that you

(55:43):
would expect that as some out ofthe out of players like that so far
this year. So you want tosee them get more opportunities to kind of
win these one one pass could yousee it every now and again, but
they haven't been a consistence, Soyou want to try to put them in
more positions, maybe some games,maybe some stunts and twists or something like
that to get them in these oneon one spots to possibly say, Okay,
go rust the past and do whatyou do best. Yeah, And

(56:04):
it's not, you know, crazyto think you got a lot of newer
defensive backs to think that maybe thedefense was just a little too complex that
it does need to be just kindof dumped down a little bit, which
I guess we're gonna find out.What do you think the keys to this
Dolphins game coming up this weekend orI've that's a pretty good Dolphins team coming
in. Two words to thee ofthe backs get back because those those receivers

(56:28):
are going to be so fast.I mean they get to the top of
the top of the secondary probably quickerthan almost any other team in the league.
I mean, you've got two ofthe fastest players in the NFL right
now between Tyrek Hill Jalen Waddle intoit. He's got the arm fan to
get the ball to them. Andthen even if he shows it short,
they've got speed to burn you fora sixty yard toestdown at any point in
the game. So you've got tobe able to get back. It doesn't

(56:51):
matter. So what if they beatyou at the bottom of these little short
little like you know, dunk dunkand dumb plays. Yeah, you cannot
let them give a these close toplay. That's something that Washington has been
not as good at for the forthis year or the last few years.
But you have to figure out away to stop this explosive offense from getting
down the field very pleasently, becausethey can do it at any point at

(57:14):
any like, in any quarter ofthe game. Well, I tell you
what I don't If Tyreek Hill decideshe's gonna get open deep, I'm not
sure how you cover that, tobe honest with you. He's kind of
a freaking nature man. Oh mygosh, Yes, he absolutely is that.
And that's that goes into getting thegiven desive lineman some more one on
one opportunities to kind of get rushthe pass a little bit more than he

(57:35):
rushed. But you can get gethim off the spot a little bit,
and he can. He can.It can be a little bit more difficult
for him. But yeah, likeTyreek Hill, I mean it seems like
he's open on just about every singleplay because just because how fast he is.
He runs like a four to twoeight four two nine or something like
that in the fortieth I mean,he's just ridiculous. Yeah, he I
think I think four to two soundsabout rath. I think probably his playing

(57:55):
speed might even be a little bitfaster than that, because it looks like
he's earning people. Yeah, justjust supposed me away. That's I mean.
There are times where I get like, uh, I was talking to
somebody about this the other day whereI get a little jealous of like somebody
else's player and go, man,I wish we had Hill. The other
on Thanksgiving, I was like,well, I was frustrated with with Lamb.

(58:17):
I was like, I wouldn't suckto have him, would Yeah?
But then I go, you knowwhat, man, we are not lacking
on a receiver corps man, wegot mclauren and Dodds. I mean,
we have a fantastic receiving corps.Oh, I think the problems lie elsewhere,
you know, I have a goahead. Yeah, yeah, I

(58:38):
would just say yeah, Like,I mean, Terry mccorn is doing very
well. I mean, even thoughthe numbers aren't exactly where you want it
to be. Right now, churissmilin. You had one hundred yard receiving.
Yeah, like they got receiving plusthe same how good quarterback who still
leave the league and passing yard Sothere's still some there's still some good pieces
there to build. Yeah. Now, I hate jumping too far into the
future, but I just got aquestion about the draft, and I want

(59:00):
to I've kind of been asking everybodythe same question. Do you think,
in the commander's situation, do youdraft for position or do you draft for
the best player available? The classicsso the classicsub the age old debate,
right. My My personal opinion onthat is, yeah, you draft,

(59:21):
like, yeah, you want todraft her position, but if you're potentially
in the top five, you draftfor the best player available, no matter
what you know. I was oneof my favorite favorite coaches in the league
was Dave mcginnett, and there wasa whole debate about Peter Scranton whether he's
a guard or tackle, and hehad this simple sense to say, he's
good figure it out when right,Well, I don't think we're going to

(59:45):
be putting somebody like Marvin Harrison Junioron the line though, Oh no,
for sure, yeah exactly, justyeah, just get him on your team
to figure out the best spot tolet him right right, Yeah. And
I just always love that debate becauseit's like you see somebody like who's the
kid plays for Penn State Olu Seanwho is out? And you go,
oh man, what an addition hewould be. But then you go,
well, yeah, but Marvin HarrisonJunior's stud you know. It's like that,

(01:00:08):
like the old debate between Toennack Suwelland uh Harrison the favorite for the
Bengals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, where it's like if you have a
guy, if you haven't tech,you can throw to anybody, but you
got you got that guy like youcan you can just throw down the field
and it doesn't really matter that one, right exactly, just get in his
general vicinity. Awesome, all right, Zach Shelby, I appreciate it.

(01:00:30):
Man, thanks for taking the timefor the chat today. You can always
check out zach stuff on commanders dotcom. Very good stuff. My go
to source should be yours as well. Appreciate it. Zach will talk again
next week. All right, allright, sounds good. You have a
good one, all right, youtwo man? Uh, and again taxb.
You can find his stuff on commandersdot com. This conversation brought to
you, but Bet three six five, it's never ordinary rock rock. Good

(01:00:54):
morning with Jackson on Washington's Classic Rock, Big one hundred, Washington's Classic Rocket,
It's Big one hundred. Sultan's ofSwing Mark Knopfler underrated guitar player.
That guy is flipping amazing maze.You know that the guitar solo on Sultan's
of Swing. Uh. You know, every year when like Guitar magazine and

(01:01:15):
all the there's a few different toguitar magazines out there, and they'll always
put together like the list of likeyou know, top fifty guitar solos,
Sultan's of Swing is always in thetop ten. Yeah, always, just
amazing. I didn't realize how manyhow many sales that album did until we
were talking about that top yeah,a lot. It was in the top

(01:01:37):
ten for years. Sold a lotof records, a lot of records.
He doesn't use a pick either,plays with his fingers. Just crazy.
Let's let's do it. It's Floridaman, uh and this morning, Oh
Florida man. Nothing nothing surprises meanymore. Man in Florida was being greened

(01:02:00):
at a jail. Yes, he'dbeen arrested when they discovered a little container
in his underwear and it was tuckedup under his junk. Man tried to
claim that he did not put itthere and has no idea how it got
there. It was filled with meth. That's not mind someone the old that's

(01:02:24):
not mine thing. I mean,I mean it goes back to when you're
like five years old, right,I don't know how it got there.
Forty six year old man in Florida, Caleb Williams or Phillips rather was his
name. He was being screened bycorrections officers at jail on Monday when they
discovered that he had a plastic cylinderin his underwear tucked up under his junk.

(01:02:45):
Said it wasn't his. When theyasked how it got there, he
suggested maybe someone put it there.While he was sleeping when they started looking
at the cylinder, he said,Oh, it's probably just advil. That's
where I keep mind. It's adecent guess for a man who just claimed
he didn't know what it was orhow it got there. Now it turned

(01:03:07):
out to be math. He wascharged with narcotics possession and smuggling contraband into
a detention facility, both felonies.He's being held without bond. Wow.
Wow, maybe somebody put it therewhile I was sleeping. Yeah, okay,

(01:03:29):
so I got a headache. Somebodywas looking out. That's brilliant.
My best friend still, to thisday, every time I see his mother
I goes, he's still blaming mefor stuff. He's still blaming me for
stuff because when we were a youngerman, anytime his mother would catch him
with him, he'd say it wasmine. He voices Jackson's. Don't know,
I think that's Jackson's. And Ithink when we were young, she

(01:03:51):
hated me because she probably believed herprecious little son. Now that we're older,
she knows better. Four nine threeone double oh three. Let's do

(01:05:55):
I'm gonna stop down. I don'tbelieve it. That's awesome. Okay,
good see, that's more like it. Indeed, sports on top on Big
one hundred. All right, Ionly want to talk about one thing this
morning. That's what I want totalk about. What's going on with Stacy's

(01:06:19):
mom. Tell him the story.This is out of the hockey world,
all right, for talk for contextpurposes. The Chicago Blackhawks and the NHL
have a number one draft pick anduh and allegedly yesterday, well not allegedly

(01:06:40):
this part. Well, let's backup. He's a number one draft pick
and he's what nineteen. Yeah,he's a kid, he's really good.
Yeah, he's got a hot mom. Yeah, and one of us.
Okay, sure, okay, sothat's good. I'm setting the story up.
Go ahead. So one of theveteran players was unceremoniously let go and
waved for conduct unbecoming basically a teammate, no specificity from the GM, the

(01:07:05):
coach, or anybody at the pressgarbage, which made it even more hysterical.
It got out that apparently the veteranhockey player was having an affair with
his mom and got canned because ofthis. And coincidentally, they just went
on a mom's trip yesterday, allthe moms and the players went on.
So I guess he's not making thetrip, like yeah, right now.

(01:07:28):
By the way, this because I'vebeen in sports a long time, this
stuff happens. Actually more than youthink it does. I got another story
for you, And even though it'sbeen poop pooed on the internet, it
actually did happen. Some of youmay or may not remember a wide receiver
and an notre dame who played forthe Seattle Seahawks Golden Tate. They played
for the Lions to and he playedwhen he was Seattle. He was drafted

(01:07:53):
by Seattle and he was gonna bea really good pro and a couple of
things happened to him. And thisis a side our story, but he
had at three am basically broke intoa top pot donuts and stole donuts in
the middle of the night. Ithink he might have been high or something
and stole some donuts. But thebig story about him is allegedly he had
an affair with then Russell Wilson's wifenow not Sierra. Russell was married before

(01:08:17):
that to another lady, okay,and they traded Golden immediately. One was
found out about and off to Detroit. Yeah you're not gonna be And according
to friends of work in the market, it happened. Huh. So it
just happens more than you think,and it's highly inappropriate. But here that's
a quarterback receiver and one got ithome with the other one's wife. Okay,

(01:08:38):
yeah that happens. Yeah, thisis his mom I know, I
know. The whole other level isthat it takes it to a wholy level.
Here's the thing. You're loving this, aren't you. I love this
story. I love this story.I feel bad they let him go.
But at the same time, yougotta you gotta think that kid's not loose.
Yeah, kid's not gonna be ableto play with him and the kids

(01:08:59):
got a bright future. I wasjust going to say, the chirping,
but that kid is going to hearfor the rest of his life. Now,
that was gonna be my next guyfrom about that a. You're dealing
with the hockey team. His teammatesare going to bust his balls all year
long, and the chirping he's gonnahear from the opposing teams on the ice
because nobody talks trash more than hockeyplayers. Yeah, they talk. They're

(01:09:20):
funny too, Oh god, they'rehilarious. Yeah, there's something about Canadians
that they damn good trash talkers.Yeah, and if you've ever heard of
a hockey game miked up, youwill laugh your ass it's the best they
are. Not only is it likechirping and talking trash, it's funny.
So a quick story about all thatwhen I was in the minor leagues and

(01:09:43):
I was doing play by play,so I was hanging around these kind of
guys all the time, and becauseof the way they are, you couldn't
help but to learn how to defendyourself because the verbal assaults were endless.
Oh yeah, so it made youquick. Hopefully you were funny about it,
but you had to be on topof things because it was brutal.
Yeah, just brutal. But Ilove that. Like the video you sent
me yesterday, we we were sendinghockey fights back and forth to each other

(01:10:06):
and I sent him the old wasit Vernon Patrick? Wah yeah fight?
Yeah, the goldiefight. It wasa classic, one of my favorites about
But the one you sent me,who was it? Where he's like,
he's like, you want to go? He's like, did you gros set
yet? And he goes, youwant to go? And he goes,
I'll let you choose which hand I'mgonna beat the f out of you with
just beautiful retards. And by theway, most of these guys are friends.

(01:10:28):
Yeah, most of them are friends, especially the tough guys, which
is but the hockey players are justfantastically funny. Yeah, Now there are
some true like like there's some hatredamongst especially in the old days, there
were some players that hateed each other. Oh yeah, I think I love
you. And we were talking aboutclude Leu. Yeah he was an agitator.
There were people that just wanted torip. Always have I mean what
for years there was a Dale Hunter. Yeah, thank god he was on

(01:10:50):
our team because everybody hated Dale Hunter. Isn't it isn't funny? How Like
it's like you love having the guyeverybody, Yeah, you hate him when
he's with somebody out absolutely, youknow he comes to town and he's on
your team, You're like, yes, yeah, Well I was watching the
mid season Miami Dolphins HBO Hard Knocksyesterday and Mike, it's good. It's

(01:11:10):
good. I like hard Knocks.I do like it. I don't have
Max anymore. McDaniel's great, asyou know, and I was gonna I
was thinking about getting it again forthat ship. Yeah, well, it's
good. So he was talking toJalen Ramsey, who they got from Ela
rams who's still really good defensive back, and he was talking to a bunch
of players and Jaalen wants but hesaid I'm glad I have this guy on
my team because I hated I hatedplighting against him. I'm glad he's on

(01:11:32):
our team. That's why I tradedfor him. I hated him. Yeah.
So hey, uh, I wantsome house cleaning here. When somebody
happened the other day. So threeof us were talking about pizza, and
you brought it up today with pineappleand pizza. Stop so in your face
that coach Rivera loves pineapple on pizza. I did ask him that didn't Yeah,
and that we do. And youmight be on this fifty to fifty

(01:11:54):

else on this program, and saidI don't like pineapple on my pizza.
That's not true at all. Thatis not true at all. There's nobody
else on this program. Yeah,well that's right, that's true. Yeah,
it's not true. Yeah, technicallymakes it sure. I promise you
half the population and the calipated gueststhat you have an ad M, whether
it's Commander of Sandra or whatever itis. You need to ask him that

(01:12:15):

time in the northeast. You youdo not say pineapple on pizza? Well,

Classic Rock and it's Big one hundredSweet Home, Alabama skinnered Big Rock Morning.
He's nine to twelve Jackson here,And I just saw meme on does

(01:16:41):
anybody remember wrapping your school books ina paper brown paper bag? You made
a book cover out of a brownpaper bag. Most of us did.
I mean, you had the ritzykids that parents would go out and buy
them book covers, but most ofus took a did you never wrap a
book? And a mind, we'rejust coverless. I couldn't afford the paper
bag. You just come on paperbass from the grocery store your parents bought
groceries. Really, we had to. Like it was one of those things

(01:17:03):
where like we got in trouble ifthey weren't wrapped by like the third class
or something, because they were tryingto protect the books for many years of
use or whatever. But we neverdid that at my school. I saw
a meme it's like how to makea book cover and it shows the bag
and it shows him wrapping the book. I bet I could still do this.
I bet if I cut up abag, I could probably still remember

(01:17:24):
how to wrap a book because wedid it so often. And then it
said, now write this all overand it's the kiss s's And I was
like, yes, that was it. Like if you didn't have a brown
paper bag book cover with kiss writtenall over it, you were kiss written
all over my notebooks. But Inever I never wrapped my textbooks. Was
that was that elementary or high school? No, that was all the way

(01:17:45):
through school. Never Dideah. Welearned how to do that in grade school
and wrapped them all the way throughhigh school. Yeah. And then there
were a couple of companies that startedmaking book covers. But it's like when
you can make one at home ona you know. And plus when you
made your own with a brown paperbag, you could decorate it kiss right,
kiss all over it, you know, matelica, whatever you wanted to
do. I love Jonichi. Somepeople wrote that, yeah, I have

(01:18:09):
big on the anarchy, so ohyeah, oh yeah, you had to
do the kiss or anarchy or whatwas another one that was crazy popular utella?
Well, yeah, and a lotof people would do like some of
the girls would do the peace simple. You do a little peace simple with
some clouds and flowers, a prettylittle tree in the corner. Hey,

(01:18:30):
let's see if we can get awinner on what do we learn on the
show today? One eight hundred andfour nine three one double o three.
The question was earlier this morning.We were talking about something that Crash put
in order and thought it was inorder least defensive to most offensive, most
defensive to defensive. Wait, youthought it was most offensive to least defense.
It's like one two three? Okay, gotcha? Gotcha? All right?

(01:18:53):
Well, anyway, he puts somethingin order that I don't know why
should be in order because I havenumbers. But that was the conversation we
had, and if you remember it, you've got a chance to win tickets
for the Commander's Dolphins game, abig one hundred. Who's this? What's
up? Brother? Hey? Notyet, do you know it? That's

(01:19:15):
not where Crash was talking about hismom and the bathroom and the commandments to
plaque. Ah, you got it, man, Yes, it was the
ten commandments that he was trying toput in order of I guess least defensive
to worst, but it's most defensiveto least. Right, Well, which
way were you looking at it?Were you saying defensive to lead? You

(01:19:38):
were saying most offensive to least.It's tough it's the Ten Commandments. There
is no order. You're not supposedto do any of them. They have
numbers. Nice job, man,we got I rank them. We got
your tickets for the game this week. And all right, buddy, you
batman, hang on and we'll getyou all set up there. It is

(01:19:58):
Ten Commandments. That was the end. It is Washington's classic rock Big one hundred,
