Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Friday to those who celebrate today is a day
where we need to all celebrate heroism together. Uh, good
morning and welcome to the show. It's big, rich TD
and Fletch one on one five KGB. Today is September 11th. Uh,
25 years ago today, America witnessed unimaginable evil. And what

(00:22):
followed was extraordinary displays of courage. Uh, Firefighters ran up stairwells.
Others were running down. Police officers, paramedics, first responders, and
ordinary citizens, they moved toward danger without knowing if they'd
make it home. Passengers aboard flights fought for their lives.

(00:43):
Strangers carried strangers. And in the darkest hours, countless Americans
proved what heroism truly looks like. This country is a
great place to live. The people in this country are
wonderful people. And together we're stronger. And today, a quarter
century later, we celebrate all of those who fell so

(01:08):
we can walk and we can run and we can laugh.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
And we'll do plenty of that today.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
We'll deliver some laughs, but it felt like we needed
to start the show the right way and honor those
who gave and give so much so we could all
have the freedom we enjoy.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
A crazy time.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Also crazy to think that it has been 25 years.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
On one hand, man, that time flew by. Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
On the other hand, there's been a lot, a lot
of history packed into 25 years.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
You're not kidding.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Man, and it's just what's so bizarre to me is
I can go back to the day itself, and I
think we all can. We all live through this, and
we can remember exactly where we were. There's just photographs
in our mind of the events that were taking place
and where we were standing, what we were looking at
as we were seeing it. Rich, you were in New
York as it happened. You were seeing smoke in the sky.

(02:06):
It was pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Lower Manhattan was covered in a giant plume of smoke.
The school that I went to high school at was
locked down. We weren't allowed to leave. Uh, you know, kids,
I mean, literally children, right? You know, you're, you're in
high school. We're wondering whether or not they were going
to see their mom, their dad, their aunts, their uncles, uh, their, their,

(02:28):
you know, cousin, who's a cop in the city. If
he was all right, uh, their, you know, stepfather, who's
a firefighter. Uh, if, uh, you know, the NYFD was
coming home, it was, it was a awful, wonderful occasion.
Because on the one hand, you had the greatest tragedy

(02:49):
of our lives. And on the other hand, you witnessed
what truly makes this country great.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yeah, you have to imagine between first responders, but then
also all of the people that were employed between both
of the towers. Probably a lot of your classmates, Rich,
had somebody in their family, whether their immediate family or extended,
that were employed and potentially at the at one of

(03:15):
the buildings or one of the first responders going to.
So your classmates and yourself, I don't know if you
had a direct... Did you say one of your grandparents
was working at one of the towers?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Well, so not in either of the towers, but my grandfather,
who I lived with, was a contractor in Manhattan, downtown.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
And when the.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Towers were attacked... You couldn't hear from anybody. And he
didn't have a cell phone. And the phone lines were, obviously.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, there was no way to get a hold of anybody.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
So I remember it was dinnertime and we hadn't heard
or seen from my grandfather yet.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
And, you know, the attack happened in the morning time. Yeah,
so it had been like maybe nine or ten hours. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
And so my mom and dad were having hushed conversations
like off to the side away from us. And it
sort of felt like my sister and I were waiting
for the other shoe to drop like them to come
and talk to us about how we lost grandpa. And then...
At some point, we asked them, like, hey, have you
heard from him? And my dad was very sad. This

(04:24):
is his father.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
And he goes, no.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
He was like, but I'm sure we'll see him either
tonight or sometime tomorrow. And I didn't believe him at all.
It was one of the first times I really felt
like my dad was just lying to me, like, to
make me feel better.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
And I understood.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
But it was in a half hour later that he
came through the door and my grandfather was filthy, just
covered in soot.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
And ash, I'm sure. Yep. And he went upstairs very quickly.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
He didn't talk to anybody and showered really fast. Came
back downstairs, gave us all a hug and said, I'll
talk to you all tomorrow. I love you very much.
And went back upstairs and went to bed. And I
was one of the lucky ones because I got to
see him. There were so many people who didn't get
to see their loved ones. And some of them didn't,
you know, they didn't know that this was going to

(05:11):
be the last day, right? They had dinner with their
mom or their dad the night before. And then before
they woke up, mom and dad or whoever was on
the train to the city the next morning, like they
would normally do for their commute. And that was their
last commute. So look again, What was taken from all
of us is awful. But the events that followed were

(05:34):
a beautiful show of what this country really is made of.
And truthfully, it has given us the greatest gift, which
is we get to do this. We get to speak freely.
We get to live freely. And we get to while
we celebrate their heroism. We get to have some fun,
and we should, in their honor, because that's exactly what

(05:56):
they'd want us to do.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Drink on Fridays. Drink on Friday mornings. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
And it is a bar cart Friday, and we'll set
that up coming up next.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
1-1-5 KGB. It is, in fact, a.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Bar cart Friday, and we are going to be drinking
at some point.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Whether anybody shows up or not. Oh, yeah. That's how
we do it.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, now it's something that we look forward to.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, like many Bar Cart Fridays, one of our favorite
things is we will be given weeks notice sometimes.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
We'll be given a couple days notice sometimes.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Sometimes the night before notice on who we'll be meeting,
what we'll be drinking the day of, and sometimes no
warning at all.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Any chance that Tony Conja, owner-operator of Kagan Bottle, who
sponsors Bar Cart Friday here, Had Monday off, and then
thinks today is Thursday. Oh, that is a pretty good point.
Because I've been a day off all week. Oh, that's
a pretty good point.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
I didn't set my alarm for this morning until about
3 a.m.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Last night when I woke up. Because you didn't realize
that today was a work day? I thought it was Saturday.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I fell asleep watching the Mormon Lives of Housewives.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I watched that last day, too. I got about four
and a half episodes in. I didn't finish it.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Aren't there only five episodes? There are.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I was trying to get through the season. I fell asleep,
but then woke up a couple hours later and then
set my.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Alarm to wake up. There was a football game on
last night. I did not watch the football game.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I watched several minutes of it.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
TD is one of me. That was the worst NFL
broadcast I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
What the hell are you talking about? You watched five
minutes of it. Yeah, that's the other thing. We got
to go to the Fletch, though.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Okay, all right, all right. I'm going to climb inside.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, we're Fletch Talk Sports, and he'll update you on
the brilliant.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Play of his San Francisco 49ers next. Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Behold him now, standing shirtless atop of a mountain, chest out,
fist clenched, staring down upon the lesser football kingdoms below.
His 49ers have won and overnight have transformed into a strong,
powerful warrior is.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
He whose confidence can only be measured in horsepower.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
The wind howls, the red and gold banner flies, and
somewhere an eagle has landed on his shoulder.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Out of respect.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Damn. Bow before the conquering hero, this is The Flat Yard!
Let's talk sports. Oh, we're going to get to the Niners.
Don't you worry about that. But in honor of.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Today being 9-11, I do want to start with this.
On October 30th, 2001, President George W. Bush threw out
the iconic ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium for Game
3 of the World Series.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Do you guys remember this moment? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
This was the entire place went silent as George W.
Bush walks out to the mound at Yankee Stadium, throws
a perfect strike right down the middle.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Looked like you probably hit 65.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
70 miles an hour somewhere in there.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
He's a baseball guy though. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
You could throw a little bit. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
That moment kind of felt like the symbolic healing seven
weeks after nine 11 that we were all looking for.
And it was a moment where it didn't matter if
you were a Yankees fan, a Padres fan, a Dodger fan,
a giants fan, but everyone was like, Damn, that was
a nice pitch. I will say, though, it was the
Diamondbacks the Yankees were playing.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
They really screwed that World Series up. Why? Because if
the Yankees would have won the thing. Oh, yeah. That's
a good point.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I mean, thanks a lot, Phoenix, Arizona, whatever you were
called back then. That was the Randy Johnson Diamondbacks.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, it was. Luis Gonzalez. Yeah, that was good, too.
They were pretty good.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
All right, next up, I would like to read you
guys a headline, actually, that came out in the Los
Angeles Times yesterday.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Morning, early in the morning. Bill Ploschke wrote it. We
know Bill. Good guy. This is the headline. Rams will
go undefeated. I don't know him. Go on. This is
the headline.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Rams will go undefeated on their way to winning another
home Super Bowl title.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Well, the Rams start the season 0-1 after losing to
the 49ers 27-7 last night in Melbourne, Australia for the
first game of their season. Brock Purdy throws three touchdowns
en route to the dominant 49ers win, proving.
That the Ram strategy that all the nerds were telling
us all day yesterday was the right one flying in
48 hours before the game was the wrong strategy because

(10:15):
they looked flat.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah. Well, it's not fair that the Rams who are
hosting the 49ers in Australia. We didn't get to be
there for the whole week. You know what's great?

Speaker 5 (10:27):
The NFL should be thanking the Niners today because the
Niners really picked up the slack for the Rams. The
Niners did all of the PR, all the public stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
The Rams flew in 48 hours before the kick.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
The reality is I think the 49ers did the NFL
a favor for a different reason. Beating them by 20
points and embarrassing them Really, what it does is it's
going to force the NFL or it's not going to
force them to, but they're going to use it as
an opportunity to tell teams like, hey, when we play
in Australia from now on, you got to come out

(10:57):
a week early. We don't care how much research you've done.
Look what happened to the Rams. And really, the reason
is secretly because they.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Do want boots on the ground.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
They do want the marketing arm, the PR arm of
two NFL franchises helping raise the banner for the NFL
in these lands yet to be conquered.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
That was... That was unwatchable to me. That's crazy.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
I'm actually going to give Netflix a lot of credit.
I haven't liked Netflix's broadcast in the past. I thought
they did a really good job.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, you liked it because it was the Niners. No,
I'm talking like an hour before kickoff.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
They had Roger Goodell up on the podium, and they
were asking him tough questions about Jed York, the owner
of the Niners, who's involved with this prostitution sting out
in Cincinnati. They had a one-on-one interview with Puka Nakua,
who's had the off season from hell. He's been in
trouble multiple times, checked himself into rehab and asked him
some tough questions. Like they did a good job with
the whole broadcast.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I didn't, didn't see any of that. I, you know,
I saw just before the game started and they, you know,
we're doing all the national anthems and the pregame stuff
and it was fine.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Crazy Australian lady who gave like a prayer.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, which, fine. I didn't really have the volume up
very loud, so I don't know what she was talking about. Eucalyptus,
I think.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
It was actually a cool message.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
It was like, we gift the Niners and the Rams
this leaf from this special tree, which means you have
access to us from the top of the trees to
the roots of the soil.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
The biggest problem was... It was daytime. It was daytime. Yeah,
it was 1030 in the morning. Yeah, it was weird.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
It felt like I was watching a preseason game because one,
the Rams looked like they were in preseason form and two,
it was just daytime. I thought it was with football
games being played during the daytime when it's nighttime for me.
It felt like I was watching a repeat. I will
say this.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'm with TD from the standpoint of you could pass
me with all the international games.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't really care.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
And also, I don't like limiting NFL fans from being
able to see it, but the borders of NFL fandom
are clearly expanding. Over 100,000 people showed up for an
NFL game, and that's pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Does that mean it's going to be the IFL?

Speaker 3 (12:59):
It also looked like they handed out tickets because a
lot of people didn't seem to care at all.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, they did not hand out tickets.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
I have a buddy from San Diego, actually, who went
and he paid thousands of dollars before they started handing
them out, which I don't even.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Want me to do. Some people were facing the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
They were like, which way do we watch the game?
I don't get it. Yeah, Australia's weird. Toilets flushed the
wrong way. Look, the point I'm trying to make is
Luke Keekly and he was great. And was it Iron
Eagle or Noah Eagle? Noah's kid. I thought Luke Keekly
did a phenomenal job. I'm really a big fan of

(13:35):
his from when he was playing and now as an analyst.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
Because we hear so many quarterbacks or wide receivers or
tight ends on broadcast.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
We'd never hear from a linebacker. Oh, I know.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
And he has that perspective that I thought was so great.
I love having Luke Keekly on the call.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
I left about halfway through the second quarter.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
You're not allowed to talk smack about the broadcast. He
is the only.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Person that I know that will not watch or listen
to something and then make the worst judgments on it.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
I've never seen more than five minutes of a Scorsese movie,
but they all suck. Make a good one, Martin. Prime
time games coming up this weekend. Sunday night, the New
York Giants are going to be hosting the Dallas Cowboys.
I'm sure there's going to be some emotion packed into
that broadcast. It'll be from the East Coast.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
And then on Monday night football, Kansas City Chiefs hosting
TD's Denver Broncos, which I've never said this in my life.
I hope the Chiefs beat the crap out of your Broncos.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
See what you've done? You've made an enemy.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Listen, if I haven't finished The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,
I will probably watch that before the game.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
You almost finished the entire season when it came out yesterday.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
It'll be done this evening. Yeah, I'll tell you. It's
an easy finish.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Nobody binges reality television show like TD.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
It is unbelievable. It's like leaving a sleeve of Oreos.
If I sit down, I'm finishing the thing. That goes
for Oreos. That goes for TV shows. That goes for
a block of cheese.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Exactly. An entire wheel of cheese. I'm not mad. I'm impressed.
It's Big Rich TD of Fletch. Good morning, San Diego.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's a bar car Friday, and we got plenty to
do coming up.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
It's just the tip with Big Rich. Ah, yes.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Just a little advice I like to shove out your way.
It's yours for the taking if you want it. If not,
push it back this way. No harm, no foul. It's
just the tip with Big Rich. And today's advice... It's
nine 11 related. And here's how, um, if you want
to support your first responders all year round, not just
on one day, but every day, there's some great tips

(15:32):
that I was able to find online of how you
can show your love, your compassion for people who protect
us on a daily basis. Uh, for example, something you
could do as a community or on your own, you
could cook and drop off meals at firehouses, police station, uh,
local EMS stations. You could drop off care packages of
high value items. It could be anything from like premium coffee,

(15:56):
cleaning wipes. You know, you can even walk in and
ask what they need as a station, what they run
out of a lot, and you can help out that way.
Seasonal events you can participate in. There's usually a public
safety week that you can help support. You can go
help or sponsor community events. You know, charity runs that

(16:17):
support firefighters or police. You know, memorial stair climbs are
really popular around this time of year. You can attend
station open houses where, you know, you can learn about
the basics of, you know, fire safety, for example. Sometimes
they'll open up the firehouse and bring your kids and
sort of.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Help support them that way.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
And then look, I mean, it never hurts financially if
you have the means to open your wallet. and support
first responders foundations. And you can find tons of them,
bevies of them online, where the money actually goes to
the people who do all the hard work, as opposed to,
you know, some giant corporate, you know, overarching company that

(16:58):
pays the top people a ton of money.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
And then, you know, the actual charity doesn't get any.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
There's some great local ones here in San Diego, and
I can provide a list of If we want to
do that, but there, there's, there's some great volunteerism around
this community. Those are my tips for today is you can,
you can help support some first responders to do a
lot of great work here in San Diego. There's no
doubt about it.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I like that a lot. That's a good tip right there. Actually,
a couple of weeks ago, I was in a few
weeks ago, I was in Jersey Mike's and there was
a cop in there and I bought him his sandwich.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
So I helped out a cop. I'll tell you right now.
And then you bragged about it. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
No, no good deed goes unnoticed, especially when you talk
about it yourself. So it was 25 years ago that
in America's darkest hours forged some of the greatest American
heroes of our lifetime.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
And today, before we laugh.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
And we argue and we do anything else we normally
do on a Friday show, we're going to remember the
lives that we lost on 9-11 in 2001. Uh, and
we honor those heroes who answered fear with bravery and sacrifice.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
What a wonderful country we live in.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
What amazing freedoms we get to enjoy on the backs
of some of the greatest men and women who have
ever lived. Um, Never forget, obviously, but that is going
to be the theme of the day. We're going to
just jump in here. We're just going to say some
good things about amazing people, and then we're going to

(18:22):
keep it moving and keep you laughing.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
We've got an update, by the way. On Bar Cart Friday. Oh, yeah,
we do.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
We've been texting with Tony Conja, owner-operator of Keg and Bottle.
It is going to be a patriotic day here.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
And we also got concert tickets to give away. Bevvies, loads, pairs,
four packs.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Stick around.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's Big Rich TD and Fletch. Well, we've... I had
questions to start the show. Now we have answers because
Tony Conja, owner operator of Keg and Bottle, our chief
sponsor for Barcar Fridays here on Big Rich TD and Fletch,
one on one five KGB live from the front wave
credit union studios has informed us that what we're going
to be doing today is drinking for you, America. patriotic

(19:05):
drinks i cannot wait um so in honor of uh
the the twin towers in downtown new york.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
We're going to be sipping on some manhattans all right
i like that i like that a lot.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
It sounds like there's going to be a kentucky straight
bourbon in a red white and blue adorned.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Bottle oh that's cool that's gonna happen uh td and
i had that one before it's a It's something.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
The bottle's a little intimidating, if I'm being honest.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Is it really? Yeah. You cannot wait to see it.
It looks like Thanos' glove. Honestly. Really? But it's good, man.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
It looks like a giant gauntlet, an American gauntlet.

Speaker 7 (19:43):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh, my God. And the liquid comes out of the finger.
This is going to be the coolest. Show me a picture.
of this bottle. They should have done the middle finger.
Look at this thing. This thing was on Toby Keith's mantle.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
On the top of the figure is an American bald eagle.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
This isn't playtime.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Whoever made this bottle was listening to Toby Keith.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Say, we'll shove a boot up your ass. It's the
American way. Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Freedom Fighter Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey available at Kagan Bottle
or KaganLetterInBottle.com.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
This is going to be a show.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
It could get a little tricky because when you're drinking
in honor of America, sometimes overdo.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
It well we're supposed to finish up with american beer
yeah pbr a cold can of pbr yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah a good old-fashioned red white.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
And blue which i think you could still buy for
like 6.99 for a four pack They might not even
sell it in four packs.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
But I mean, what's the old wives' tale? We're supposed
to drink beer before liquor?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Never been sicker. Beer before liquor. Never been sicker. Liquor
before beer. You're in the clear. So we're good.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
We're golden.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Or you can mix them together. We're going to have bourbon.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
They call that a boilermaker, ladies and gentlemen, where you
drink the whiskey and the beer at the same time,
and that sets you up for a good day.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Don't you drop the whiskey into the beer for a boilermaker? Well,
you can. You can. Or you can chase it. As
long as you do it.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Within seconds of each other, you're okay. Or at the
same time. Anyways, I'm excited. As you can tell, this
is going to be a great day. We're going to
continue to remember those we lost 25 years ago.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
And a salute to all you first responders.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
We know many of you listen to the show as
you're making your way around. We're going to have a
lot of fun today, and we have some tickets for
you to win. We are sending you to Motley Crue.
We also have a four-pack of tickets to Journey, so
we're going to give you those. Also, man, that Kentucky
straight bourbon, this might be one of the fanciest bottles
we've ever had in studio with us.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah. It's pretty, pretty fancy. Well, that reminds you're going
to want to take it home.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
So that's like an actually fancy thing.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
But when you were a kid, were there things that
you thought were fancy and then you grew up and realized, no, no,
that's not fancy at all.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
That's just like normal life stuff.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
But through the eyes of a child, you're just like, no, that,
that is, these people have mind blowing money.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah. I, I think I have one in mind. Okay.
One that sticks out to me. All right. Let's get
to that coming up next. It's big, rich TD and Fletch.

Speaker 8 (22:12):
1015 KGB, trending with TD.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
September 11th, the anniversary 25 years later from those infamous
terror attacks out in New York and Pennsylvania and.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Washington, D.C.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
But last night out in New York, the Big Apple
skyline lit up with 2,977 drones. One for each of
the victims killed in the terror attacks. And they put
on this emotional display out across New York City, across
the skyline. At one point, the lights joined together to
replicate a full architectural scale of the Twin Towers as

(22:51):
they once stood in 2001.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Oh, my God. I mean, it was incredible. Spooky. Some
of the coolest video or drone footage I've ever seen.
I agree. I mean, it was mind-blowing.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
I actually thought it was fake at first when I
saw it. I was like, how are they doing this?
But yeah, that technology has advanced really quickly. Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
It was, man, moving, to say the very least.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Exactly. The city of Carlsbad has declared a local emergency
to stabilize the bluffs on what's expected to be a storm. Very,
very strong El Nino this winter. The city calls it
a protective move. The bluffs have already eroded almost to
the pavement on a stretch through South Carlsbad Boulevard just
north of Encinas Creek. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Have you guys been by there or seen pictures of it?

Speaker 6 (23:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
It's awful.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
It's pretty crazy how far the land has receded, how
much the water has increased. But it makes sense. When
you have warmer ocean temperatures, if you think about... how
much water like like volume of water there is it
doesn't take much for like in terms of temperature rise
for water to expand i mean it's got to go

(24:05):
somewhere you know so it comes up and laps further
and further over land and so as a result yeah
same things happening down in my neck of the woods
pacific beach la jolla areas they're like They're building up
these giant berms of sand to avoid erosion.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
There was a pretty good warning shot last week when
it got really hot and the winds were high. The
hurricane conditions actually hit up in Long Beach, Los Angeles area,
and where San Juan Capistrano, that beach is, they had
massive erosion. And then right along the PCH in Long Beach,
the water was going into people's decks, their front yards.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
It was crazy.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
So if you're going to buy a house along the ocean,
buy the one that's just... Inward of the one that's
facing the water. Because they're going to probably have to
tear that one down.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, probably.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Man, after spending millions and millions of dollars on digital
kiosks and mobile ordering systems and AI speakers that you
drive up to, fast food chains are discovering... That a
lot of customers, well, they just want someone to take
their order at the counter and to do so in
a very friendly way. Apparently, sales are down across fast

(25:10):
food chains and now Burger King and McDonald's and a
bunch of other fast food restaurants. This is according to
the Wall Street Journal, by the way, have found that
after doing surveys. People think the restaurant seemed too rush, impersonal,
and sterile.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
And they want people back. I drove up to a
Taco Bell the other night, and I was greeted by
an AI thing. You know how sometimes with, it depends
on what restaurant you go to, you stop at the
menu and it starts talking to you in the AI
voice like, hey, are you using your app today? And
you're like, no. And then the real person takes over.

(25:45):
You're like, what can I get you? Well, this one
was like, what can I get you? And I'm like, oh,
that's weird. And so I started giving it my order.
And then halfway through, I'm telling you, if there wasn't
a car in front of me, I would have driven away.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Why? Because I was annoyed by it.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm like, it was getting it right, but there was something,
like you said, so impersonal.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
And really like i i just felt like oh this
is a person's job i don't want to.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Rather talk to a human yeah i was like i
don't want to give you the the business because but
then i was like ah there's a car in front
of me i don't want to sit here and wait
and also cheesy gordita crunches they're necessary try the new
cantina crunchy fried taco it.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Was so bizarre i had to call a customer service
number for uh one of our utilities or something Yesterday,
and it was AI that you're talking to, and I'm
trying to get to a customer service person, but the
AI was talking like a human in the respect of
if you asked it a question, it would go, hmm, let.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Me see, let me see. And then you'd hear.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Okay, okay, I see what you're saying here. It was
talking to me like it was thinking. It was bizarre.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
They're doing that on purpose to make AI sound more human.
It's fooling some people, not many, but it is fooling
some people.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah, well, I mean, unfortunately, it fooled me.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Anyways, her name is.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Gina, and she's been working for the water company for
quite some time now.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's right. I filled out a survey. Gave her a
10 out of 10. Great job. Great job. Anybody want
to go to Motley Crue? I do. I do indeed.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
In fact, I'm hoping that our listener who wins this
pair of tickets right now brings me with them to
the show.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
You want to be the plus one, Rich? That's right.
It's the last concert you went to. Creed with you.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
888-570-1015.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Actually, you know what? I saw, what's his name? The
Irish guy. That's the number to dial, by the way.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Ed Sheeran. Yeah, thank you. Caller 10, you're going to
the show.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Call at 737 this morning, and you're going to crew.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Congrats to Jennifer, our ticket winner for Motley Crue, our
first of two pairs of tickets to give away to
that show coming up very shortly. If you want to
see Motley Crue, you're listening to the right show. We're
going to be handing out another pair of tickets coming
up very shortly. Also, we have a four-pack of tickets
to Journey to give to one of our lucky listeners
as well.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
And both those concerts coming up next week. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
So in very short order, you are going to be
enjoying the wonderful sounds of Crue on stage in Chula
Vista and Journey on stage in Pechanga Arena down on
the Sports Arena Boulevard. Now, we were talking about fancy
things when you were a kid. Things that through the
eyes of a child are super fancy. And then you

(28:34):
grow up and you're like, oh, that wasn't fancy at all.
I was just, you know, young and dumb. What were
some of those things?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Anytime anyone ever mentioned that they went to, and actually
it was only, I can see the couple people that
I had in school that said they went and ate
at Red Lobster. I'm like, Red Lobster? They're eating lobster? Unbelievable.
That and Olive Garden. Because I didn't know where either
of those were. Related to Daddy Warbucks? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
I think Olive Garden is still a little fancy. I
like that restaurant.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Any place where you can get all you can eat
salad and breadsticks? Yeah, it's like, geez, do you have
no budget? Fancy. Now, I will say this.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Anytime I went to a house that had more than
one normal thing in their house.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
What do you mean? Okay.

Speaker 8 (29:23):
All right.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
More than one TV.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
So more TV in the bedroom is fancy.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
More than one TV. It blew my mind.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Now, again, I was a 90s kid. So more than
one TV was nuts to me. A TV was only
in our family room growing up or living room.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
If.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Oh, if somebody had more than one living room, like
especially when they referred to the- The den.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 (29:46):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
The den. Or a breakfast nook.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Oh, dude.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Oh, man. If you had two dinner tables, like if
you had a circular dinner table in your kitchen- And
then you had a dining room with a separate rectangular table.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
We had one of those. We had a dining room.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
I would think you were rich. The dining room was
only for like family gatherings.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
So check this out. That's exactly right. We had the
living room.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
We also had something that we called the sunroom.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Oh, snap.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh, a sunroom? Some people call it the mudroom.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I know what you're talking about. Well, the mudroom is- No,
that's off the front entrance.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yeah, that's where you're taking off your muddy boots because
you've been outside working.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
I feel like people in a sunroom would always have
like a chaise lounge that they can lounge in.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Take a nap.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
You know what they call those in New York because
you have so many snowbirds, we call them, like people
go down to Florida when they're retired to spend the summer,
the winters in Florida. They call those Bermuda rooms or
Florida rooms. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Exactly that. Exactly.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
And you know what, too, was fancy. You went to
somebody's house.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
If they had some sort of planter with actual live trees.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Growing inside in their house. Oh, check this out.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Another example of when you had two of something normal
that blew my mind. I'm like, oh, my God, these people.
I mean, they must just be writing blank checks to
people like you're just spend whatever you want. If you
had two ovens.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
I mean, let's be real. If you have a double
oven now, I'm like, what are you cooking? You need
two ovens.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I mean, but I just always thought like, oh, that's
one oven for your family and one for the health.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
I think TD might have a double oven, gang. He
looks guilty. You have two ovens, TD? I mean, you
gotta have a double oven.

Speaker 6 (31:22):
What?

Speaker 4 (31:23):
I didn't know you were rich like that, too.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Listen, sometimes you got to be two turkeys, all right?
This guy owns a boat. Yeah, he's a boat guy.
I do own an entry-level model boat. Yeah, yeah. Take that.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
All right, we got to run, but get on the line, 888-570-1015.
If there were things as a kid you saw in
somebody's house where you're like, oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
That is fancy. We want to hear from you. Good morning,
San Diego. All right, so we were discussing this earlier.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Things when you were a kid you thought were fancy,
and then you grew up and realized, oh no, those
aren't fancy things.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Those aren't fancy things at all.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
TD's Red Lobster one, that's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
He thought, what was it, Red Lobster, and what was
the other restaurant? Olive Garden, TD. Olive Garden. I mean,
to be fair, Olive Garden is a nice establishment. See,
pretty fancy, right, Kat?

Speaker 6 (32:15):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I got to dress up.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I would say when I was a kid, I did
think Red Lobster was a fancy restaurant.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I didn't even know where one was. Yeah. I've still
never been to a Red Lobster to know if it's
fancy or not.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I thought Olive Garden was salad dressing for a long time.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Anyways, getting to our listener, Carl from La.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Mesa, who dialed our number, 888-570-1015. If you want to
answer this question, what are things that you thought were
fancy as a kid that you grew up and realized
weren't fancy at all?

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Carl, what's yours?

Speaker 9 (32:45):
So, my aunt's house, she would always make a point
to say.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Use the word foyer.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
Like, it's in the foyer, which was, you know, looking back,
it's like, made her house sound so freaking fancy, but
it was just the bottom of the stairs, people.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Like, so when.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
You walked in her front door, there was like a
staircase going up and she called that area the foyer.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (33:10):
She had like some umbrellas and a vase, like the umbrellas.
Keep that in the foyer.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Well, that three foot by five foot section is all
it was.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
That would have got me, actually, because the foyer in
the house is what would have got me because I didn't.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Have a house when I grew up. We grew up
in a trailer. So just having a house, I was like,
that's fancy. You can have a trailer foyer. Oh, yeah,
you can. Yeah, that's true. There's a couple of steps
to get up into the trailer.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
So you think just like natural gas is fancy.

Speaker 8 (33:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
No propane. Flushing toilets?

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Crazy.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Oh, he had a flushing toilet. Yeah, you took a
bucket of water and poured it in the toilet.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
And then it flushed.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Man, but liquids as much as you could outside. That's right.
That's right. Man, Carl, that is a good one. A foyer.
That is fancy. That is very, very fancy. She had
the vases and all. All right. Thank you, Carl. What's yours? 888-570-1015.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
The thing when you were a kid you thought was
fancy and you grew up and later realized, oh, no.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
That was just people putting on airs. That's not fancy
at all. We want to hear from you. Before we
get back to the laughs, we remember. September 11th gave
us one of the darkest days in American history, but
it also revealed some of the very best in all
of us.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Men and women running into smoke.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
And fire and chaos to save people they've never met.
Strangers becoming protectors. Families, unfortunately, enduring the unimaginable. And an
entire nation standing together in grief, but great resolve and
fortunately love. And 25 years later, we honor every life lost,

(34:51):
every single hero who answered the call and every family
still carrying it that day with them. to this very moment.
We remember, we honor all of you, and we will
never forget. Not an easy day to host a radio show,
because every time you have to talk about this, obviously
the imagery of that morning is still close to heart,

(35:11):
close to mind, and every single person who perished that day,
we thank you, we grieve your loss. Look, no easy
segues here. Never forget. Do what you can. Say a prayer.
Help somebody out today.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Smile.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Pass along a laugh. Do whatever feels right. We'll get
back to the fun stuff coming up next. Big Rich
TDM Fletch.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
888-570-1015.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
That is the number to dial if you want to
get involved in this conversation. What fancy thing when you
were a kid you grew up and realized wasn't fancy
at all?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
We've named a couple. We want to hear yours.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Okay, so we got John from Lakeside up first here
on Big Rich TD and Fletch, 115 KGB.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
John, what's your story? Hey, good morning, guys. I always
thought ceiling fans were kind of fancy. That's so funny. Why?
I don't know. They're hanging up around the ceiling.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
They're not like in your window blowing in from the outside,
you know, like a box fan.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
I get that. I get that.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
I was just telling these guys when I was a
kid until I was 12, I hadn't been in a
car where it didn't have like a gash in like
the car seat or like the ceiling fabric was leaning
down on your forehead.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Or all of the windows worked. So I'm totally with you, John.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
A ceiling fan does sound pretty fancy now that I
think about it. Jessica from El Cajon. Thanks, John, for
the call, by the way. Jessica, Jessica Rabbit, one of
our longtime listeners. What's something that you thought was fancy
as a kid you grew up and realized wasn't fancy
at all?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
New Year's Eve when we got to drink Martinelli's out
of plastic champagne flutes. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Absolutely. Now, Jessica, that still feels a little weird.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Man, as a kid, just a bottle of Martinelli's in
the fridge looking at it, you'd go, oh, we're going
to open that?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
We're going to drink that? We're celebrating tonight. That is
only for Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve, and that's it.
That's incredible. That is a great call.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Anytime I had to put on a suit as a kid, too,
like even for a wedding, I felt like, man, I
am like Richie Rich.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
I didn't own a suit until my grandpa died. Yeah.
Somebody's going to think I'm a little orphan Annie's stepfather.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Look at me go.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
All right.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
It's Big Rich TD at Fletch, 1-1-5 KGB.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
What is the fanciest thing you can remember as a
kid that you grew up and realized wasn't fancy at all?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
You were just a kid. We want to hear from you.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
888-570-1015. 1-1-5 KGB.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
We have a very special guest in the studio with us.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Playing ACC American Comedy Co., And that's actually the website
name as well, AmericanComedyCo.com, if you want to pick up
tickets to see.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Now, I'm going to butcher the last name potentially. Jay Chandrasekhar?
Nailed it. Okay, Jay Chandrasekhar on Super Troopers.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Okay, so your character in Super Troopers might be arguably
one of my favorite characters in any movie ever. The mustache,
the maple syrup.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Right. Chugging contest.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Jay, it's like being in the studio with royalty right now,
to be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (38:30):
That mustache is a tribute to Burt Reynolds' mustache in
Smokey and the Bandits.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I love it. Wait, why is it not on today?
What happened? When you say on, was it a fake mustache?

Speaker 8 (38:39):
No, it was a real mustache. I'll tell you something.
Don't embarrass our guest. Of course it was real. When
people go into hiding, a lot of times they'll grow
beards and mustaches. But for me, when I go into hiding,
I shave it so.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
That I don't get stopped on the street and say,
who wants a mustache? It's endless. Right. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (39:01):
It's just a line. You get rid of the mustache
and be like, is that that guy? And then I'm
already gone.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
That's a great point. Yeah, it's so recognizable. How was
the show last night?

Speaker 2 (39:11):
It was great. I loved that club. San Diego, fun
place to visit.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
You had just mentioned to us while we're listening to
some music here that you're an avid golfer. You've already
gotten out. You said to us that you play nine
holes every single day. I get the last tee time
every day. And uh, so whatever that is, I, I,
they're ready for me and I go play nine and, uh,
I get it going again the next day.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
I'll play 315 days a year. I mean, that's a
little bit borderline obsessive. Oh, I'm a madman. Another jab
at our guest.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
We're going to take a quick time out. So let's
explain a little something about Kat. She's going to say
all the quiet parts out loud.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
She's going to humiliate you and insult you to your face.
And then later when you tell her like, you know, Kat,
you went a little hard in the paint there. She's
going to be like, what? I did not call you fat.
I just said that shirt was ill-fitting for a man
of your size.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Guys, I never call you the F word.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
But I mean, 315 days of golf is a lot.
Times five.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah, you probably don't work a lot if you're playing
golf that much, Jay. You must not help around the house.
In the five years, this is a little bit tender
for me, right? But in the five years since I've
been doing that, I've made three films.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Wow. And done a stand-up special, and I've written a novel.
A novel? He's really able to do it all. Have
you ever heard of a little book called Moby Dick? Yeah.
And sure, Kat, maybe I'm a little fat. Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Actually, no.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
I would call you the other F word. You're pretty fit. Oh, fit?

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Oh, man.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
I thought we were about to have to hit the dump.
I had no idea where you were going. When you
say F word, fit never comes to mind. I would
never think that one.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
No.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
It's crazy. It's crazy. Holy Lord. You like doing stand-up
or movies more?

Speaker 8 (41:13):
I like doing stand-up because it's just right there.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
It's immediate.

Speaker 8 (41:17):
I can write a joke in the morning and perform
in the evening and nobody can stop me. In the
movie business, there's layers above you where they're like, I
don't know about that show.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Can I ask you a question about Super Troopers?

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Because there was no film really like it before it
was created. How much pushback did you guys get from
studios making that film, or was it easy? That process
of getting something like that, for people to believe in
a project like that, and then getting it to a theater.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
Well, they got so much pushback that nobody made it.
We had to make it independently. The studio was like...
You know, when they did engage, they were like, you know,
you can't open a movie on three stoners and then
have the movie actually be about the cops. The movie's
got to be about the stoners. And we're like, no,
it's about the cops. They're like, no, that doesn't work.

(42:12):
And then they're like, we're looking at the scene and
there's a guy who says meow ten times. Like, what
is this supposed to do? And you're like, well, because
he's trying to say now. And we're like, oh, yeah,
we get that. That wasn't the issue. And they're like,
and now this naked man is in powdered sugar, as

(42:35):
I understand it.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
And I'm like, yeah. And they're like, what's up with that?
The lice.

Speaker 8 (42:40):
They hate it. Well, it's an homage to, you know,
First Blood. Like, Stallone was naked. He was getting shot
with a fire hose. We're shooting him with a garden hose.
And what's with the powdered sugar? Like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
What do you want from me? Cocaine's too expensive.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
I almost feel like it's like you're answering to the
chief when you're talking to the studio.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
So, you know, it's like standard protocol, chief. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (43:04):
And Brian Cox was great at doing that. Just being our,
what the hell are you guys doing?

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yeah, the straight man and the whole thing. Man, I like.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Honestly, a movie maybe I've quoted more than any other
movie in my life.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Oh, thanks.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
You guys were tremendous. And Jay, so are you. And CJ, AmericanComedyCo.com.
Grab tickets. He's playing twice tonight, twice Saturday night down
there at ACC. We were talking about great hang, basement club,
low ceilings.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Low ceilings. The jokes, the laughs really bounce off the
ceiling in that place.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
I've never thought about that before. But yeah, usually you
want high ceilings for the space to be bigger. But
I guess in the comedy setting, you want the jokes
to bounce.

Speaker 8 (43:47):
It's not even close, Kat. It's not even close. You
need a low ceiling.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
I mean, you would probably want it to be a
little bit.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Higher since you're so short, Jack. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
God.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
No, listen. She stands up tall. Don't forget, Kat just
called me fit. Yeah, yeah. She's got a little something
brewing for me over there.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
You just have to compliment a guy every few jabs
and he.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Remembers the compliment. That's nice. We don't, Kat.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
No, you guys are still hanging on that one compliment
from last year.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Yeah, we get one a year, which is kind of cool.
You've gotten like three here. Go CJ.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Again, Chandra Sekhar. You're just showing off. You keep nailing it.
Thank you. Thank you. We love you. Thank you for
dropping by.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Thank you. And it was really a privilege, a tremendous
honor meeting you, buddy. You made us laugh our whole lives.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
I appreciate it. Thank you. There he goes. It is
that time of day. We do have to do the crew.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Oh, let's give out Motley Crue tickets. Caller 10-888-570-1015.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
They're playing Chula Vista next week.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
So if you want to get to this show, we
got a pair of tickets for you to win North County.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
North Island Credit Union. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
That's the one. Call right now for your chance to
win Crue tickets.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
All right. It's Big Rich TD Fletch, 1015 KGB, and
it's a bar cart Friday. We have a lot to
get to still. Stick around San Diego.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (45:11):
1015 KGB.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Trending with TD.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
A big congrats to Austin in San Diego, I think.
I don't remember the city he lives in, but.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
Congratulations to Austin. In Ames, Iowa.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Listening on the free iHeartRadio app. Man, oh man, several
events taking place all across San Diego to honor those
who lost their lives in the September 11th attacks.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
One of them happening at the University of San Diego.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
An experience of remembrance of the courage and honor displayed
by the 403 fallen emergency responders. who climbed the stairs
of the World Trade Center. There is a stair climb
that's happening, which, Rich, you mentioned that that's a thing.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
I didn't realize that people did that.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Yeah, there'll be gyms that'll get in on a promotion,
or it'll be like a building will clear a stairway
and say like, hey, outside of an emergency, keep off
this stairway.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
We're going to climb the stairs to represent.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
You know, the flights and, frankly, miles that these firefighters
were climbing to save folks in the Twin Towers.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Yeah, unbelievable. Qdoba.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
Qdoba Mexican Eats. Now, there was one or two down
here in San Diego County, apparently. Yeah. That's all that's left?
That's all there were. That's all they had.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
They are the.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Number two growing brand in America, and they just signed
a new agreement for 17 across San Diego County.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Do we not think that's too big of an expansion
so fast?

Speaker 2 (46:38):
I do not think so.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
No?

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I do not think so. Have you ever had their queso?
That's what I'm talking about. What am I talking about?
I like a little queso blanco.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
It's like endless cheese, just a vat of it.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
You just put your fist right in. Right, right.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Like your poo bear, just dipping your big round fist
into the honey pot.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
And then you're like, oh, Robert, this is delicious queso.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Or take a smackerel of queso.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
There is a Qdoba at, it's like across from the
Mission Valley Mall where the trolley stop is. And anytime
I walk past that Qdoba to get to the trolley,
there is a line.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Like, it's packed. So now it makes sense. There's only
two Qdobas. You're making a mistake walking past. That's all
I'm saying. A lot of queso there.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
You know, staying in the same vein of food here,
we have a new favorite spicy chicken sandwich in California. Now,
it was the Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwich. It has now
been dethroned.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
May I guess? Yeah, you may guess.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
I'm going to say it's Popeye's. It is not Popeye's.
San Diego based.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Oh, then it's, oh gosh, there's one in Pacific Beach.
It's Dave's Hot Chicken.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
It's not that either. It is a little place. It's
fairly new. It's called Jack in the Box. J and
the B.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Jack in the Box Spicy Chicken Sandwich, now California's favorite
spicy chicken sandwich.

Speaker 6 (48:02):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
I'll tell you, you know why it's my favorite? Because
it's like a buck fifty. I mean, it's... And they're
good every time.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Is that that really thin?

Speaker 4 (48:10):
It's like there's a little spread of mayo and then
one little piece of lettuce.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
That's all you need. That's all you need. There may
be a tomato on there because I feel like I
have to say no tomatoes.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
You probably just say that and they're like, sir, there
are no tomatoes on this sandwich anyway.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
That could be true.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Sometimes I say no lettuce. just want meat and some mayo,
then that's good. Are you sending Fletch on a journey
to get Jack in the Box spicy chicken sandwich?

Speaker 2 (48:34):
That is correct. Good, good, good, good, good. Can you
order a chicken sandwich right now at 8 a.m.? Jack
in the Box. Yeah, you can order anything. Unlimited menu anytime, anywhere.
That's right.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
No way.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Way? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we found that out.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
We are friends with the... Is it the marketing president there?

Speaker 2 (48:49):
I think it is, yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
She and her husband came into our studio one time,
and we.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Relentlessly harassed her husband. That's true.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
We forced him to do push-ups.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
I mean, it was a thing. That doesn't sound like
you guys at all. It was one of... two, uh,
times that they were in studio together. And then we
never saw them again. Never heard from them.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
So I don't know if they listen anymore or if
they are friends, but they were at one time.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Um, I am very excited to get to this Barcar Friday.
It's going to be a highly patriotic Barcar Friday brought
to you by Keg and Bottle live from the Frontwave
Credit Union Studios. We'll explain some of the festivities coming
up next. Big Rich TD and Fletch. So we have
a patriotic soiree that's about to happen here in studio

(49:40):
on a Barcar Friday. We are obviously going to have
our normal festivities. We'll be doing some call-outs and some
remembrance of those we lost and those who we should
honor on 9-11. But all the while, we've got some
cocktails that are coming, some pre-batched Manhattans to celebrate the

(50:03):
site of the former Twin Towers and now the memorial
that stands in honor of those who we lost on 9-11.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
We're going to.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Sip on some good old-fashioned red, white, and blues, some
Pabst Blue Ribbons.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
I like that. Cold can of PBR, sign me up. Yeah,
no big deal. No big deal.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
And then also, what is the name of this bourbon
that's coming through the door?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Freedom Fighter. Freedom Fighter.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
So I have now laid eyes on this bottle. You
guys have seen this before, yes? We've had it. Yeah,
we've poured it. I think you were on vacation. And Kat,
you were out the day that we had this. Rich,
this was the day you did not want to miss.
This was the 4th of July, 250th anniversary celebration.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Oh, that's right. I was in Arizona.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
Pretty much every high-end liquor brand came out with something
celebrating 250. And so we had all of these commemorative
bottles in studio. We had a soccer ball, Kat. We
did have a soccer ball. It was a bottle? It
was a ceramic bottle.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
It was a tequila. Wow. Ball tool? Ball tool?

Speaker 5 (51:07):
So the place where the cap was was covered up
by a panel of the soccer ball?

Speaker 9 (51:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
And then you pop the panel and then all of
a sudden there's a little spout. That's cool.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
But did it go like... Did it like extend out?
It was made by Tony Stark.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Man, okay. It was a day.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Do we also have soccer ball or whatever? No, it's
gone now. It was a $ 120, 000 soccer ball. I don't know.
Maybe you can still get it at kegtheletterinbottle.com.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
I hope so. Yeah, get to that website. I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
This is going to be a fun day, even though
obviously it's a somber one. I think in honor of those...
who ultimately protect this country on a daily basis, and
those who fell during the 9-11 attacks, I think what
we should do to best honor them is have some fun,
have some laughs, and all the while remember them. So

(51:57):
that's what we're going to do on a Bar Cart Friday. Plus,
you're going to have another opportunity to win concert tickets.
We have Journey playing Pechanga Arena coming up next week.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
If you want to go to that show.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
With three of your friends, well, you're listening to the
correct morning show, 101.5 KGB, Big Rich TD and Fletch.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
It's been a long week, and the fellas are thirsty.
Scotch has got scotch. Here it goes down, down into
my belly. It's time to cruise into the weekend.

Speaker 7 (52:24):
Big Rich TD and Fletch present Bar Card Friday. Brought
to you by Keg and Bottle, with the best selection
of bourbon, whiskey, tequila, private section bottles, and more.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
My problem is I drink too much, way too much.
I get my doctor a urine specimen. It was an olive. Now,
let's pour some drinks. Oh, let's pour some drinks indeed.
It's Big Rich TD and Fletch and it is a
Bar Cart Friday. Brought to you by Keg and Bottle.
Ten locations all throughout San Diego.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Two in Illinois. One opening in Michigan. And many more soon. Oh,
one in Santa Barbara. So if you're listening to us
up north of here. Um, we, uh, we are interested
in you stopping by and grabbing any of the delectable
treats that we're going to be diving into this morning.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Now, uh, not to, uh, dour.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
The mood or to open on a somber note, but
it is nine 11. And this morning we remember what
courage looked like on September 11th. It looked like firefighters
carrying the weight of strangers. It looked like police officers
refusing to turn away, refusing to go home. It looked
like first responders, office workers, neighbors, passengers choosing action over fear.

(53:37):
On a day filled with unimaginable loss, thousands of people
showed us the true meaning of sacrifice, the true meaning
of what it is to be an American.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
25 years ago, we still say their names.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
We still tell their stories and we still honor the
heroes who reminded us what America can be at its
very best.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
And we will never forget.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Today is going to be a blast because while we
remember those who we've lost, we will do the greatest
gift we can to them by honoring them, by enjoying
the freedoms that many of the people who even after
9-11 went out and protected the borders of this great
nation so that we can laugh and enjoy. and honor

(54:24):
and cherish all these special moments we have together. And
with that, on a Bar Car Friday, we have a
tremendous array of delectable offerings from Tony Conja. Who has
filled the front of our bar with the most American
selection that you could possibly enjoy on this day of days.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Man, Tony, good to see you. Good morning. Good morning
and morning. Oh, man. Good to be here. Yeah, it's
good to see you. And he's also in a USA jersey.
That's right. He's not messing around. He's not messing around.

Speaker 6 (54:58):
Today's a special day, so we have to remember and.
and celebrate and make sure we never forget.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Yeah, man. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
There was just, uh, there was just some noises happening
behind me as I was trying to pull things up
on the computer and I turned around and there's literally.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
The bars just stacked, stacked. Which one are we opening
up first here? What do you want to do?

Speaker 6 (55:16):
I mean, the idea is, uh, celebrating New York, celebrating America.
And so we did some Manhattans, right. And other theme
bottles that have to do with USA and, and from
the beer side, good old Samuel Adams, uh, Speak to
me of America.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
And then PBR. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
PBR.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Really wide blue cam, man. I'm excited to pop a couple.
I think that's how we should start. With some PBR.
I like it. I like it. There we go. All right.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
All right.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Why not? Yeah. If not, why not? God, even Kat's
going to have one of these.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
Oh, Rich is just going with the mouth shotgun.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
We got it. We got it. Why not? Your poor teeth. Yeah.
Did you just bite into the can? I did bite
into the can.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
He did.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
We should almost make him do that again, for family's sake.
Did you break a tooth?

Speaker 3 (56:03):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Not yet. I'm not yet. Okay, there we go. There
we go.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
Now we're prepped. Now we're ready. And it's to the lips.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
It's up. It's open. It's back. And it's gone. Oh,
my God. That was a little slow, Rich. Thank you.
I'm a little out of shape. Cheers. Cheers. I'm one sipping.
Gotta stay hydrated. It's hot outside. Thanks, guys. Yeah, it's
a heat wave. To America. To the first responders. To

(56:30):
the first responders. To the very best.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
To all the people who still carry the weight of
that day 25 years ago.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
We love you. We miss you. We honor you. And
thank you for everything you've done so that we can
do this. Cheers.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
There it is.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
It's actually 9-11 on the clock right now as well.
That's spooky. You got to be kidding. That is insane.
That was not on purpose. Wow. No, it was not.

Speaker 7 (56:53):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
As we did that, cheers. That's insane. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
It's a special day. Why did that like move me
a little bit? I got a little choked up about it.
We're just douchebags drinking and then all happy.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Yeah, come on. Man, what a place to live. What
a place to be. Do what feels right today. Say
a prayer. Give someone a hug. And thank a first responder.
It's a big, rich city in Fletch. Our very best friend,
Tony Conja, joining us in studio on a bar car Friday,
a very special one, as it coincidentally landed on 9-11.

(57:30):
And so when we were discussing what to do today,
patriotic beverages was top of mind. And so we have
already started the festivities with PBRs, some good old-fashioned red, white,
and blue cans, man. And I'll tell you right now,
these are hitting the spot.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
I forgot how good PBR was. I have a feeling
that Fletch never forgot. I did forget.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
I haven't had a PBR in a long time. Seriously?
I love PBRs. What's a six-pack of PBR go for, Tony?
It'll probably run you about six bucks. That's a buck
a beer?

Speaker 6 (58:04):
Hold on.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
How much does a six-pack of Coca-Cola go for?

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Maybe eight bucks? Probably about seven or eight bucks. That's crazy.
It's cheaper than Coke? Yes.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
That's why you should drink PBR from Kagan Bottom.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Also, a true story.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
If you're stranded on a deserted island, it's better to
drink the beer that's in the airline cart than the soda.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
The beer's more hydrating for you. Oh, I did not
know that. It's good to know. I think Big Beer
made that up. No, it's true. Science.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
And also, they're stealing the seeds from all of us, Ben. What? Obviously, guys.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
But as we're speaking, Tony's working. He's got a green
bottle in hand. What are we popping open? That was
a mini cork pop.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
Yes, sir. So bullet bourbon.

Speaker 6 (58:47):
Yeah. makes manhattan's ready to drink so if you're on
the run you grab one of these green bottles pour
over ice like so all right hand over.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Your phone like so it's done it's done.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
I'm i'm shooketh for some reason this never crossed my
mind oh here you go fletch sorry bullet are my
people i love these yeah It never crossed my mind
there was already a pre-made Manhattan.

Speaker 7 (59:10):
Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
As there should be. Right.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Because it's kind of one of those drinks where.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
it's not labor intensive.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
It's one of the few ingredient cocktails to make, but
if you pre-batch it, that's a very convenient way to
do this.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
So many of these on the counter are like that,
just ready to go. It's good. Cheers. Here we go.
I like that. Bullet doesn't miss, man.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Wow, that is very refreshing and delicious.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
That's incredible. Yep. Ready to go. Small size, big size.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
The Manhattan, obviously celebrating the downtown area where the Twin
Towers once stood.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
And now there is a 9-11 memorial that actually.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
TD, you're the only one among us, I believe, who's
ever been to the memorial.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Tony, have you been? I've gone to it. It's been
a long time, though. It's pretty moving.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
I mean, there are parts of it that are kind
of hard to go through, but it does hit you hard.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
What they did with the memorial was phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
I think they did a fantastic job putting all that
together and remembrance and The fountain outside that flows down
through the middle of it as you're walking through literally
a ground zero. It's truly incredible. And you live the day.
It's absolutely mind-blowing. And I was talking about there's one

(01:00:35):
wall inside there. As you walk in, you go downstairs
to where one of the World Trade Centers was standing.
And there's these blue squares all over the wall. And
I didn't know what they were. You see them from afar.
They're all different color, different shades of blue. And I
walked up and read the plaque. They went to people
who were all around New York City who watched.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
The day unfold.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
And then they had them pick out the shade of
blue they remember the sky being that day. And that's
what every shade of blue is on the wall. It's
just fascinating to think of how everyone looked at this
through a different lens.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
It's remembered a little bit differently. Experienced a little bit differently.

Speaker 6 (01:01:14):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
Yet it impacts us all deeply. in kind of the
same way. You know, it's, it's just, what a day, man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
What a day. What a unique idea.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Tony, when, when you went, what, what was, uh, like,
what was the moment that kind of stopped you in
your tracks?

Speaker 6 (01:01:30):
I mean, there's a room in there where they're playing
videos of the families and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Difficult. I mean, it's just, it's not just the videos.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
They're, they're playing voicemails that are left of those who
lost their lives.

Speaker 6 (01:01:43):
And you just sit there and you're watching, you're just
crying and, This is crazy, man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
What about you? What was your experience like?

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
The same thing that kind of hit me this morning, actually,
while I was listening to, to a nine 11 tribute
that they were, they were live streaming on the I
heart app from New York, reading every person's name who
passed away in the attacks. And they're at ground zero.
They have plaques for every person's name who passed away. And,

(01:02:12):
On my entire commute to work this morning, they were
still in the A's for last names.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
That's how many people passed away. Oh, my gosh. That's insane.

Speaker 9 (01:02:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Well, there's a new Ipsos poll that's come out.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
They polled 1,000 different Americans across the country, and of
the 1,000 Americans, they polled 47%.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
The respondents said that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
9-11 was the most important historic event of their lifetime.
Over 80% can recall exactly where they were and when
it happened that day. They can recall everything that happened.
The number two part of that polling was COVID-19 and
number three was Obama's presidency. But, I mean, overwhelming, almost

(01:02:57):
half said that 9-11 was the biggest.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Most important event. Yeah, yeah. You know what? I completely
agree with that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Because in all three of those occasions, you kind of
have like a moment where it brings you right back to,
I was in between periods heading to Spanish class when 9-11,
when my first awareness of what was happening in New
York happened. And then, yeah, with COVID, I remember, obviously,
the basketball game being stopped. And then all of a sudden,

(01:03:28):
it felt like on the other side of that game,
it was like the world's different now because COVID-19 is
a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Rudy Gobert coughing on the microphones.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Oh, dude, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
It was kind of wild.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Sports was kind of folding into it. You know what
the thing that stands out to me for COVID? The
day before they shut everything down, $ 77 cruises. I remember
getting ads for a $ 77 cruise.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
When I was over with Kogo working on the news station,
the people I was working with were like, we should
book cruises.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
And then Obama's election night, I remember walking through campus
at Penn State and I remember hearing cheering from dorm
towers because it was the first time we elected a
black president.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, I get it. I get it.
I don't recall. I don't even recall that election. Who
did Obama run against? He ran against Mitt Romney. Oh,
was it Sarah Palin? Oh, no, you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
It was Sarah Pillen and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
Yeah, the guy from Arizona. John McCain. That's the one.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
Thank you, John McCain.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
That's the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that 08? Lipstick
on a pig. I remember that part. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Man, I'll tell you right now, without question, I would
say the most striking memories from one single day in
my entire life.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
9-11. 9-11 definitely has that before and after.

Speaker 6 (01:04:47):
9-11, I'm a little older than you guys, but when
the Challenger blew.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Up Oh, yeah. 1987. 86. I was like in middle school. 86.
I remember that. The generation before Tony, it's Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
Yeah. Right.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
Well, even the moon landing. The moon landing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
I would say it would be the generation before Tony
and then the generation before that because a lot of people, the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Generation before that, Pearl Harbor happened.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
It was like.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
We're about to be drafted. We're going to war with
the Germans. That was my grandpa's.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
Challenger for me, I was in second grade. And I
remember that one, too. I can remember every event, every
minute that occurred during class because we had a moment
of silence.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
They had us all pray.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
It was a crazy time.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
I never remember the name of the teacher who was
on the Challenger flight.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Was she from San Diego, by the way? She might
have been. Oh, no way.

Speaker 6 (01:05:37):
If you go to Los Angeles, you actually see, not
obviously the one that blew up, but seeing the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
Ship is crazy in person. Oh, my gosh. I got
to see it land.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
I got to see the Challenger land out at Edwards
Air Force Base. Then the next time it took off,
it blew up. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:05:53):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Sorry. She was not from San Diego. You're a mush.
Krista McAuliffe. Oh, she's not from San Diego? Not from
San Diego. She's from New Hampshire. Oh, all right. Do
we have a new astronaut that's from San Diego? Actually,
she grew up... as far from San Diego. You know what?
I'm thinking of a different challenger.

Speaker 6 (01:06:15):
I just knew a lady named Nancy who owned a challenger.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
It was a nice challenger. She also owned a deli.
Not good news here.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
A fast-growing wildfire has broken out up in Mendocino County. Now,
I know that's way up north, but it broke out
as a 10-acre blaze. And then within about an hour
and a half, it's up to 1,000 acres.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
So it's moving real, real quick.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Firefighters obviously doing their best, but it's very hard to
get to at the moment. So we've got to keep
our fingers crossed that they can get a handle on
that as soon as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Otherwise, bad news. Where was it? Mendocino County.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
It exploded near Lake County and Mendocino County line in
Potter Valley. Evacuation orders have already been put all over
the place up there. So, Cal Fire, obviously, on it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
But, man, it's moving quick.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Yeah, that's a huge issue with that area. Anytime there's
huge rainwaters with landslide issues or fires, I mean, because
you're stuck. It's like two-lane roads everywhere around there. Yeah,
I mean, people could be in super danger. So, yeah,
let's hope that that goes well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
You know, Cal Fire's on it, so don't stop believing. Yeah,
that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
And speaking of not stopping believing, how about checking out
Journey on their final Frontier tour? Coming through San Diego.
They're going to be playing Pechanga Arena September 14th. A
7.30 show. Doors open at 6.30.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
It's just the tip with Big Rich.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
While Tony's out looking, I am going to grab....

Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
That Freedom Fighter bourbon whiskey right now.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
All right, there you go. That is a cool red, white,
and blue. It literally looks like a flag, but it's
in a fist. It's Thanos' glove. It really is.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
It's one of the craziest looking bottles I've ever seen
in my life.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Now, it does come with a little topper here that
is an American bald eagle.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
I want to believe it's Jackie, Tony. It could be.
She looks amazing. She's in gold.

Speaker 6 (01:08:26):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
All right, Jackie. Let's see how she tastes.

Speaker 7 (01:08:29):
Now, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
It's going to be a rough day, man. Come on, man.
Come on, Jackie. I'm going to pour myself a little sniffer.

Speaker 6 (01:08:38):
And?

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Now, you guys have tried this before, but TD's pouring
himself some. All right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
Pass that one. Yeah, there you go. All right, everybody's
got it now. This is good.

Speaker 6 (01:08:48):
So not only is it a great-looking bottle, but the
juice inside is delicious.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
Now, that is, Tony, that tastes expensive.

Speaker 4 (01:08:56):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
This is like 130 bucks, I want to say. Oh,
my God. So, yep, it is expensive. It's six-year-old juice.
He really likes us. Yeah. This is six years old.
Is that what you said? Six years old. Six years old.
That is so old enough to be delicious. There we go. Man, oh, man, oh, man.
Freedom fighter.

250th birthday on September 11th, if you want to throw
something up on the bar or mantel that's really going
to show off.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
That is America. I think it's the coolest bottle. If
you want people.

To ask you about your whiskey collection, put this bottle
on the shelf.

Ten locations in San Diego, but we got Hudson, Manhattan, rye, whiskey.
We've got Woodson's Manhattan, which we cracked open during the break.
Woodson Heist Manhattan. Uh, that's a pre-batch cocktail. We've got
the bullet. Uh, that was the first Manhattan pre-batched Manhattan
cocktail that we tried. And that smaller bottle is only

(01:10:19):
20 bucks. And that was absolutely delicious. Did you mention
the PBR by the way? The PBR is great.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
Listen, a buck a beer. I'm telling you. Tony's losing
money on PBR. Your refrigerator needs to have at least
one six-pack of PBR. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
They should hand this out when you get your Social
Security card.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
I call it the channel changer. You finish a PBR,
you throw it at the TV, change channel. Yep. All right.
That's America. That's America. All right. Well, listen, we'll wrap

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Actually, our red, white,
and blue logo comes from 9-11. No way.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
Yeah, so when we were designing the logo, 9-11 had
just happened. And so we scrapped all the colors they
were doing. And remember how patriotic it was?

Speaker 3 (01:12:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
And that's where the colors came from, from the red, white,
and blue logo.

Speaker 8 (01:12:37):
Oh, man.

Speaker 6 (01:12:37):
25 years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
That is incredible. Listen, wherever you are today, whatever you're doing,
do what you can to thank a first responder. We
just had a caller, Mike, who dialed our number and
said that every 9-11, he drops off a dozen donuts
at a fire station nearby him. He said he wants
to make it a thing. He wanted to share that

(01:13:00):
with us. And yeah, I mean, whether it's a dozen
donuts or... A dozen PBRs from Cake and Bottle.

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
Or maybe you're just stopping by the fire station to
say hello.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):

run by every day or so. I like your mustaches.

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Texas Ranger, how about you? Well, the teacher asked me
what was the capital of North Carolina. I said Washington, D.C. Bingo. Nice.
She said, no, you're wrong. I said, you've got a
lumpy butt.
