Bat Mouth, Gen Z Envy, and Cubs Romance

We start with Thirstday energy, because the week is almost over and everybody is pretending they are still productive. Then Michael brings us a bat-in-mouth story, and honestly, that sentence alone should come with a warning label.

The Human vs Robot War keeps moving because technology still wants problems. Then we get into Gen Z envy, because apparently some people are jealous of the generation that grew up with anxiety, side hustles, and phones that track every bad decision. And somehow, the Cubs enter rom-com territory. 

Baseball, love stories, bad timing, dramatic endings, and fans who keep coming back even after heartbreak.Bats, robots, jealousy, and Chicago baseball romance. That is Morning Mosh Pit behavior.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jumper.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Don't you dare.

Speaker 3 (00:02):
Don't.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Do not start the show like this.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
You jumper, you broader.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Morning Mosh with Rock 95.5.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
My name is Maria Palmer.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I'm Maris. I'm Michael. Hey.

Speaker 5 (00:15):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Did you want to turn.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Your computer first?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
First, I'll mute your computer.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Sorry, okay.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
And now do the weather.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
We're streaming everywhere. Michael's obsession with clouds cannot be overstated.
It went up to the cloud.

Speaker 6 (00:27):
And you can't get it down from the cloud?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Nobody understands the cloud.

Speaker 7 (00:30):
It's a mystery.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here's weather.

Speaker 7 (00:32):
When I'm waking up early and I'm a little tired
and there's a lot of streams on me, we're live
on X video.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We're live on YouTube. We're live on Instagram.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
We're live on Facebook, Twitter, X, whatever you want to
call it.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I think they've got me. I've transitioned.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Weather?

Speaker 7 (00:51):
Focus?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Here's the deal.

Speaker 7 (00:53):
It's going to be the hottest day of the year today.
If you work outside, today might be a good day
to just call it. I don't think it's the hottest
day of the year. That's what they're saying. They're saying
the hottest day of the year will be tomorrow. A
high of 91 today, but the heat index is going
to get us well up over 100. Almost 100% humidity.
You can already feel it outside. Yeah, it's icky out there.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's hot. Extended summer.

Speaker 8 (01:16):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
And then we're looking at some heat here. Wednesday, 92.

Speaker 9 (01:19):
Thursday, 91.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Friday, 90. Saturday, 90.

Speaker 7 (01:20):
Sunday, 86. And storms all throughout the week, too, off
and on. Lots of humidity.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So if you like the heat, you're going to love this.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
My issue is that this is the worst time to
get an extended summer. At the end of the season
is not when I want it, because all the bugs
are here. They're not going to go away anytime soon,
because the cold's not going to come through. And they're
going to get bigger, giant spiders right now.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's a good time to fall in love. Yeah, if
you have a bat in your mouth. Excuse me? Sir?
Which one are we talking about?

Speaker 9 (01:51):
This happened to a woman. She had a bat in
her mouth. And it wasn't Ozzy Osbourne. So we'll talk
about it next.

Speaker 7 (01:59):
Have you ever woke up in the morning with something
in your mouth? Rock 95.5 Chicago's Rock Station Morning Watch
Pit is on.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
Dr.

Speaker 7 (02:06):
Krista Edelman, gastroenterologist in Richmond, Virginia, went viral after sharing
that she woke up on August 20th. with a live
bat attempting to burrow into her mouth. Here is her
telling the story.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
So this morning I was asleep and I had a
dream that there was a little mouse trying to get
into my mouth. And so I'm half asleep. I reach
up to my mouth, again, still thinking this is a dream.
And then I touch something that is kind of slimy
and a little hairy and cool. And I immediately somehow
knew it.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Was a bat.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
This bat was legitimately trying to burrow between my lips
into my mouth.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
It was trying to get past my teeth.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I have no idea.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
This is not normal. Never heard of anything like this.
Never seen bats in my house. I grabbed this bat
and threw it across the room and I screamed.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Hey, Dracula, stop being so kinky all the time.

Speaker 7 (03:01):
What'd that mouth do? I'm gonna have nightmares about this.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's terrible.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
Even the dream about the mouse trying to crawl in
your mouth and then there's actually something in your mouth.

Speaker 8 (03:12):
I know.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
And it's mouse-like.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh my goodness. The thing that got me was she
said it was slime.

Speaker 7 (03:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Which means that bat been burrowing for a little bit.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
Just drool out of her mouth. She's got a responsive mouth.
YouTube chat's going crazy. People eat eight spiders a year.
I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
That's not real.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
That's not? You sure? It's been debunked. Debunked. Yikes. Have
you ever had something burrow in your body? I had
a tick once. That was kind of weird. I was
in Tennessee. We were going hiking.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
I had an ex-husband.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
God damn it, Maria.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Creeps do belong here. Actually, any version of human. Creep, geek, weirdo.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
We love you all on Rock 95.5. As long as
you're not a robot in the midst of the human
versus robot war.

Speaker 9 (04:04):
News from the front of the inevitable human robot war.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
You may be seeing fewer flock cameras around. Florida, FDOT
issued a memo yesterday calling for the license plate reading
cameras to be removed within 30 days from public roads

(04:29):
connected to the state highway system. FDOT cites concerns over
the exponential increase of the cameras concerning reports of misuse,
data privacy concerns, and surveillance schemes. The memo says immediate
action is needed to preserve Floridian sovereignty and quality of life.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Absolutely not. Lock them up. Wait, lock one up.

Speaker 9 (04:50):
Florida.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Team flock camera only in Florida.

Speaker 9 (04:58):
There's not a bit in all of radio called Florida
man slash Florida woman for a reason. If you could
minority report Florida, I'd be so much happier and the
country would be better for it.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
You're saying that what I hear you saying is that
the government in Florida is basically saying these are not
being used properly. We want to protect our citizens.

Speaker 8 (05:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Which is surprising. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (05:22):
So, do we.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
Get a little bit of that here? Maybe I'll take
a little.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
How about across the entire United States? If Florida is saying, yo,
this is wild.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
This is one step too far for us. Then we
have some issues.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
Mickey's getting caught doing things he shouldn't be by these
fly cameras.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
And we know who runs Florida.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Mine is not Minnie. Yay!

Speaker 2 (05:45):
It's Donald.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
That pantsless duck harlot.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I like the way he spits.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
And that's how they win the human versus.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh, no, okay.

Speaker 8 (05:54):
Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Don't you dare. No, yes, let's let him.

Speaker 8 (05:57):
Hang in that moment.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
That's your Donald Duck impression. Thank you. Is that better?

Speaker 4 (06:02):
That's Donald Duck meeting Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
I believe.

Speaker 8 (06:04):
Yeah, now you're talking.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
And that's how they win the human versus duck versus
robot war.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
That is what's news from the front of the Inevitable Universe.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
There is an incredible new super group that has formed,
and we got audio. Rock 95.5 Chicago's Rock Station. Let's
do some rock news.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Let's.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I'm going to tease you with that. First hit you
with this. Wow.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
A 24-year-old corrections officer has been arrested after a Good
Charlotte concert after she stole an ambulance.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (06:31):
The paramedics went in to try to help someone realize
they needed a gurney, came back out, ambulance completely gone.
She has now been charged with theft, DUI, after she
crashed the ambulance into a tree. Wow. I guess her
bond has been set at $ 7, 500, but her lawyer came
into court and said she came here to attend a
concert and things ended up happening that are completely out

(06:52):
of her normal nature.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Well, okay. Dived into an ambulance and took off.

Speaker 7 (06:58):
I always wonder when they leave emergency vehicles running, that
seems like a real easy thing to jump in and go.

Speaker 9 (07:03):
But it's also convenient for them because they have to
jump in and go.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I'd go to like an elderly community and Robin Hood
it up.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, that'd be awesome.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Like you need some stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, who needs help? Let's see here.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
Let me hit this real quick. Jeff Ament and his
brother Barry are coming to Chicago. They have a new
book coming out called Since Forever. Jeff's brother Barry toured
with Pearl Jam a lot, and it's a whole lot
of pictures and stories from the years that they toured.
They are going to be at the Metro doing a book.
They're going to have a moderator and talk about the
book and stuff November 4th.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Love that their names are Jeff and Barry. They were
not supposed to become rock stars. Those parents were like,
we are raising accountants.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
All right, you ready? This is super cool. All right.

Speaker 7 (07:44):
The band, the new super group, is called Cretan Family.
They have officially made their live debut, and the lineup
is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Check this out. Billy Joe's, sorry, Green Day's Billy Joe.
There you go. Rancid's Tim Armstrong.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Nice.

Speaker 8 (07:57):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (07:57):
Travis Barker from Blink and former Ramones bassist CJ Ramone
and joining them on stage at this show was Billy
Idol and Fred Armisen.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
What?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Let's hear it.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
There's two Armstrongs and an Armisen? No. You know, the
energy sounds great. If I could hear this, I bet it.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Would be really good. I searched for like 20 minutes.
It's the best audio. It'll get better. It'll get a
little better.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
When they get to the hook.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
This is the audio equivalent of a blurry Bigfoot photo.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
If only they had an Android.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Sheena is a punk rocker.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
Sheena is a punk rocker.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Time out, time out, time out. What?

Speaker 9 (08:44):
You just decided to start singing over the track.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
You can't understand.

Speaker 8 (08:48):
There's a super group.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I was trying to be helpful.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
My experience of that song didn't change.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Damn you guys. I'll find a better cut.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
It sounds like if I were there, I would have
liked it.

Speaker 7 (08:59):
Yeah, it was an anniversary show for the Ramones, but
everybody's saying they hope these guys head back out.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
On the road.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
By the way, tomorrow on Rock News, I got five
bands that hate Green Day. And one of them is
really surprising. I'll tell you one now. One of them
is Oasis.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
That's not surprising at all.

Speaker 7 (09:14):
The other one is a parallel band to Green Day
that they toured with over the years. And apparently there
is really bad blood.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Drama.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
We'll tell you about it tomorrow on Rock News.

Speaker 9 (09:26):
Happy September 1st from the Morning Mosh Pit.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
This is always my first day at school.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I don't... Rent is due.

Speaker 9 (09:34):
Approve of us talking about fall before the autumnal moment.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Where it's officially fall.

Speaker 9 (09:41):
But we got great ideas for fall dates, which is
actually just fall activities in general.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh, great.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Apple picking right at the top of this list. Who cares?
We're spending too much money in these relationships. It's not
worth it anymore.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
To be honest. Oh, cool.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
You have someone to go apple picking with?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
How, how, is apple picking too much you pay like
five dollars for a bushel.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
Hey listen like a lot of men out there if
you're not getting laid uh apple picking's way too expensive
it could cost my heart.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay Haunted Houses also makes the list. That's just fun.
I don't go because I like being scared.

Speaker 9 (10:19):
I like going to see the production behind the haunted house.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
This would be great if someone loved me.

Speaker 7 (10:24):
We had a guy that used to do haunted houses
at a radio station I worked at. This guy was
really into it. Do you know they have smells of death?
Through some of these haunted houses, they'll put these little
smells in.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't need that. It's like rotting meat. Corn maze.
I don't like this one.

Speaker 9 (10:41):
I don't want to get lost in a corn maze.
That's like nightmare fuel for me.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
We get lost in the maze and then each other's eyes.
Just kidding.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
No one loves me.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Run through the corn maze. Football games. That's way too expensive.

Speaker 9 (10:52):
You can't wait to get tickets to a football game
is absolutely on this list.

Speaker 7 (10:57):
Someone said to me, I want to go to the
Christmas game. You mean the Bears Packers at Soldier Field
on Christmas Day?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I'm going to be perfectly honest. It's probably a great deal.
It's probably the best game to see.

Speaker 9 (11:08):
Those tickets are going to drop in price and you're
going to get a good game out of it.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
So what do you do? You wait?

Speaker 8 (11:12):
Wait.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (11:14):
All right. So like $ 700 a piece right now. This
is fun and cheap and easy. Scary movie date night.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
That would be. If anyone loved me.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
All right. We see you're taking an angle here. I
don't even like scaring people.

Speaker 8 (11:26):
It's not even an angle.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
It's just my lived reality.

Speaker 9 (11:28):
All right. Would you like going on a cider or
a beer or wine tasting?

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I would love that. At least we're drunk at the
end of it. Maybe somebody's getting laid.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Unfortunately, no one wants to touch me or be around
me or look at my face.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
What happened to us in relationship? Where's the robots?

Speaker 4 (11:45):
I know what happened to you. I don't know what's
wrong with me.

Speaker 9 (11:47):
But like actively going to like a cider tasting sounds fantastic,
by the way.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Sounds great.

Speaker 9 (11:53):
Like you do a beer or wine tasting. There's other
people there, Maria. And then you can strike up a
conversation with a single man.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
There aren't single men there. Where do you think the
single men are?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
At the wine tasting. And they're probably not there with
their wife. Very fancy. That is true. The single men
are not there.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
If I was a single man, I would not go
to that by myself.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
The single men are maybe in a dive bar.

Speaker 9 (12:13):
You wouldn't go to a wine tasting with your guys.
Only because it feels like that should be a relationship thing.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah. Would you? Yeah, I've been to wine tasting with
my guys.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Are they all single men?

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I was the single man. You were the one. Were
they there with their wife?

Speaker 9 (12:30):
No. I sat with my guys. All right.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Fair enough.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Crap shoot. Crap shoot.

Speaker 9 (12:36):
A fall-inspired cooking class.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Those are always fun.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
That'd be great.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
That'd be kind of fun. What are we going to
be for Halloween, by the way? Sad, cold and angry.

Speaker 9 (12:48):
This one sounds a little crazy. Rent a cabin for
the weekend.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I love that.

Speaker 9 (12:53):
I've seen too many horror stories that go awry from that.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I know better.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
That was when I knew I was going to get divorced.

Speaker 9 (12:59):
Literally.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
We know.

Speaker 9 (13:04):
It's still technically summer, but there's a whole lot of
fall activities going on in and around Chicago.

Speaker 7 (13:10):
844-955-9550.

Speaker 9 (13:10):
Are you fully embracing it? You got any good ideas
for the two lonely hearts in here?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
You got any single friends with low standards?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
On Rock 95.5.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
We don't believe in generational divides here on the Morning
Mosh Pit. We got a bunch of generations of lunacy
all together in one room.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
Truth.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
And in celebration of that, I.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Have things Gen Z secretly envy about older generations.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh, this ought to be good. I know.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
Money?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
A little bit.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Older generations had more practical skills around the house. There's
a reason you call your dad if you've got problems
with your boiler, your car, your electricity, or most DIY projects.
I'm trying to learn more hands-on skills.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (13:54):
I suck at all that stuff. I also, like, I'll
get to a point and I'll be like, I'm going
to call a guy.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I'm just going to call a guy. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
No, you know what I'd do?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
As a single woman whose dad lives across the lake,
so it's not like he can come over and fix things,
Home Depot has tutorials on virtually anything you.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Could want to do. They also have classes on Saturday.

Speaker 9 (14:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (14:15):
Do they?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's cool.

Speaker 9 (14:16):
And you can probably get a good hot dog. Or
find a nice single man.

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Oh, Maria.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I gotta go to a Home Depot class.

Speaker 9 (14:23):
Actually, you should really just be walking around Home Depot regularly.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
I'm gonna get the ladies is the issue. And Yeah,
you think?

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Not just dads and husbands?

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (14:36):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
You're going to get it. Where do I get it?

Speaker 8 (14:39):
Am I going to get it?

Speaker 1 (14:40):
I'd love to. All right.

Speaker 7 (14:42):
Next.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Older people are typically friendlier and can actually hold a conversation.
As an extrovert, I love when I end up sitting
next to older people on a plane because we end
up talking for a good portion of the flight. Flights aside,
I don't want to talk to anybody on the flight.
This is what's happening with my dating life, gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
This is why I keep ending up with dudes so
much older than me. Because they're the only ones that
actually talk to me.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
I was going to say, every time I go to
the airport, there's some older person that'll just strike up
a conversation and we're talking for 40 minutes about nothing.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
On the flippity flip, have you tried to talk to
a Gen Z? First of all, I don't.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
Know half the words they're using. Maxing everything these days,
whatever the hell we're talking about.

Speaker 8 (15:22):
You're not doing that.

Speaker 7 (15:23):
Have you seen The Stare? And the fact that I'll
go in and say I'm ordering a smoothie or something.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I walk up.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
Back in the day, I say, back in my day,
people would go, hey, how are you today? What can
I get you? No, they just stand there and stare
at you now. And then when you order it, usually
there's a, hey, thanks.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Okay, thank you.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Nothing. Still nothing. What happened to these kids? Was it COVID?

Speaker 9 (15:43):
I feel like Mariano's is trying to get their They're
younger teenage workers up to speed.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Because like they're trying to have a conversation with me.
I was like, this is new.

Speaker 9 (15:52):
Like normally I just kind of stand there and I
go through my coupons while I'm checking out, you know, but.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
I hate to say it, but it's these damn phones.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
We're on our phones all the time and we're treating
real humans as like NPCs.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
Yeah, like when I get in elevators, I notice I
don't want to be like anywhere where I could talk
to somebody. So everybody just instantly reaches and pulls their
phones out.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Like all the kiosks at fast food stations where you're
not ordering from a person anymore.

Speaker 9 (16:14):
I accidentally called out one of our coworkers and we're
cordial and we talk every once in a while. But
I had started talking to her and she was just
like nosing the phone. And I was like, oh, I
get it. Like, you know, you're very busy day. And
she goes, oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2>
Speaker 2>

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Right.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Because it wasn't just... You're ignoring me because we're on
the elevator. It was tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
Something was going on.

Speaker 9 (16:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
No, it's crazy.

Speaker 9 (16:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
I wish I could experience the same level of community.
My grandparents always had people who would drop by for
an hour or two, have a cup of coffee and
chat and continue on with their day.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Seems so wholesome and much less lonely.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I've been doing that with my mom a lot lately.
I wish I could, man. I miss my mom. I
was texting her yesterday. I'm so jealous. You need to
go home. I know, I know. You've been talking about
this for two years. I know, I know. I should
go back more often, but time flies, man.

Speaker 9 (17:05):
It does.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
And we're two jobs. It's like tough to break away.
But you'll feel better after you do it.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
I always complain about this because the combination of having
had to move to multiple places and then losing that
community that I kind of grew up with and then
Just the change in culture. I don't feel that I
have a friend that I can be like, hey, let's
go hang out today real quick. Boom.

Speaker 7 (17:26):
Same.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
And I used to have that.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I never used to have any version of like, I
straight up have no one to text to go hang
out with.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
And that's where I find myself.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
When we were growing up, it was all church. That weird.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
It's weird to say because I haven't been to church
in a long time. But that was where all the
built in community was. You know, those were the people
that were swinging by mom and dad's house and stuff.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
It's interesting.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
I'd love to tell you more, but Maris won't let me.

Speaker 7 (17:48):
He's swinging his arm around telling us to shut up.
It's like when you text him and his car texts back.
You know what I want to do right now?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
I'm driving. I want to get you ready for Pitt.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
Happenings because we have tickets to give away.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
And I would love to do that.

Speaker 9 (18:02):
Thank you guys for tuning in to this travesty of
a radio show.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
DUI!

Speaker 9 (18:06):
Now, here's the pit-only plug with Maris.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Uh-oh. 844-955-9550. It's time for Pit Happens.

Speaker 9 (18:15):
This is the beautiful game where we put you in
a pituation and your goal is not to get kicked out,
tossed out, thrown out, or bounced out by security. I'm Maris,
and I'm your pit master today. We're going to a
corn maze because.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
It's fall, baby.

Speaker 8 (18:29):
Oh, heck yeah, dude.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Let's go.

Speaker 7 (18:31):
No.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I'm so excited. You're finally getting into fall spirit with me.
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Don't get fazed by the maze.

Speaker 9 (18:37):
Everybody else is over here. She can rhyme, ladies and gentlemen.
Up for grabs today. Black Label Society tickets. They'll be
at the Aragon Ballroom on September 12th.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
If you want the tickets, 844-955-9550. Maria, what's that number?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
844-955-9550.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Stock this way!

Speaker 7 (18:50):
Yay!

Speaker 9 (18:59):
This is the Morning Mosh Pit on Rock 95.5.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Are we speaking with Glenn from Wheaton?

Speaker 7 (19:06):
Yes, you are.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
What up, Glenn? How we doing today? I'm doing great.

Speaker 8 (19:10):
How are you guys doing today?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
We are doing good.

Speaker 9 (19:12):
Thank you for asking, and thank you for joining us
for Pit Happens this morning. This is a lovely game
where we put you in a situation, and your goal
is not to get kicked out, tossed out, thrown out,
or bounced out. And today, I am your pit master,
and we are headed to a corn maze.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
Oh, boy.

Speaker 9 (19:32):
This is a good idea on paper, but Glenn, I
don't know if you've met us. We are not the
smartest group of kids around, and none of us grabbed
a map of the corn maze, so we're actively just
walking around.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
What's the fun of it? Ten minutes in, we're bored.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
We're hitting the same corner every five minutes, and you
know what?

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Maria brought weed.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Oh, good.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
She brought joints. Thank goodness. Get blazed in the maze.
Well done.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
Yeah, if we're going to be in this maze, we
might as well be high, so We begin to light
up the joints, and Maria, not paying attention, sets the
maze on fire.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Sounds like smoke in here.

Speaker 9 (20:19):
It's absolutely startling some of the guests, and as security
is starting to run over with fire extinguishers, Glenn, how
are you calming down security before they get to us?

Speaker 2 (20:36):
We're going to pass them the joints. Nice. Puff, puff, pass.
You got a D20 for me, Michael? I do. Here
we go. 20 is good. One is bad. That's a 15er.

Speaker 9 (20:48):
A 15?

Speaker 2 (20:48):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 9 (20:50):
Maria, always thinking ahead, has extra joints in her pocket,
as always. And if we know anything about security at
a corn maze, they're not being paid enough.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (21:01):
They put those fires out, and they begin to walk
around the maze with us, just hired.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
They're really off their cob.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
A little powwow in the corn maze never hurt anybody?

Speaker 3 (21:12):
No.

Speaker 9 (21:14):
Aw, shucks.

Speaker 7 (21:15):
No.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I hate you so much.

Speaker 9 (21:18):
I know. But Glenn, you're all set. You're going to
Black Label Society.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
They're going to be.

Speaker 9 (21:23):
Over at Aragon Ballroom on September 12th.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
Awesome. Cool. I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Who do you plan on taking with you to this one?

Speaker 9 (21:35):
I'm taking my fiance.

Speaker 8 (21:36):
We're getting married on Halloween.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's awesome. That's amazing.

Speaker 9 (21:42):
Are you guys also dressing up or are you just
going with the regular tux and dress?

Speaker 7 (21:48):
We're doing Halloween colors and then having a block party
after with the bounce house for the kids and karaoke
and everything else on the block.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I'm sorry, did you say bounce house? Where are we
doing this at? We're all excited to come to the party.
That's really cool, dude. I love the Halloween colors for
the wedding. I do, too. What a fun way to
just do a wedding in a fun way. No, that's
absolutely amazing. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Congratulations to you and your fiance.
Everyone's invited, so you guys are more than welcome to come.
Don't tempt us. All right. We'll drive around Wheaton and

(22:18):
find the party on Halloween.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Hey, man.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
You were a real corn star today.

Speaker 9 (22:22):
I'll send you the invite if you want.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, send it over. We might go. Beautiful.

Speaker 9 (22:26):
Glenn, thank you so much. And congratulations to you and
your fiance. Everybody else, head on over to Ticketmaster.com and
get your tickets today. All thanks to our friends over
at Live Nation and.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I love this, Maria.

Speaker 9 (22:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Let's talk about tailgate or homegate.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
Homegate.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Team homegate. I know you have terrible opinions about tailgating anyway, so.
I like that ending little thing there.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
On cue.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Very nice.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
It's the Morning Mosh Pit on Rock 95.5. Gentlemen, I
have a question for both of you.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (23:01):
All right.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
You're going to go to a football game later that day.

Speaker 8 (23:04):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Would you rather, A, tailgate it up in the parking lot,
with your boys and your gloves and whatever weather is
weathering out there? Or would you rather pregame at home
with all the same food and drinks that you would
have at that tailgate, but in someone's home where it's
temperature controlled, mess controlled, there's trash cans, there's bathrooms.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
But then you're leaving to go to the game.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
And then later you're leaving to go to the game after.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's interesting. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:34):
I think I'm still doing a home gate just for
the convenience of it. But also, I have questions. Am
I going to someone else's or am I putting on
the tailgate? Because that's a big difference. If I can
just show up to someone else's tailgate, I'm my tailgate.

Speaker 9 (23:47):
I don't want to lose my buzz from home gate
while getting to the game.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
You also can't drive then. Yeah. No, no, no.

Speaker 9 (23:54):
It's absolutely an Uber situation. And if my belly's full
and I'm almost 40. By the time we get through
the Chicago traffic, I'm going to have to use the
bathroom about five times. I might get a little nap in.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
That's a good point.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Do you get more sober in the Uber after drinking?

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Because that is not my experience. I get way worse.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
My name's Maris. I'm not drinking in a car.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
I'm not talking about drinking in the car.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
You mean like when you're riding home after you've been drinking?

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I mean if I've had some drinks. And then I
get into an Uber. I am feeling more drunk after
said Uber. There's no chance in hell that an Uber
is making me feel more sober no matter how long
I'm in it.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I think I'm the same way as her, to be
honest with you.

Speaker 9 (24:35):
This is a time release. If I've been eating, it's
a moot point. We're evening things out.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Interesting.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
I think, yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean, if I'm going to a game, then sure.
I'd probably tailgate.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
But I'm not putting on a tailgate either because one,
I don't have a trailer. Like you people really get
into the tailgate.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
It's one of those.

Speaker 9 (24:52):
Things where you have to plan it accordingly because you
really do got to be four hours early.

Speaker 7 (24:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
844-955-9550. Would you rather home gate or tailgate? This survey
found that Americans prefer the home gate over the traditional tailgate.
I don't.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
So when you initially brought this up, I kind of
figured it was just like actually having the party at
your house.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
That's what I thought too.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
It is.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah. And then no game involved afterwards.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
No, you're still going to the game after.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Absolutely not. Then I guess you tailgate.

Speaker 7 (25:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
What am I doing?

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Because I'm with Maris. Well, it depends on how far
away you are. Do you live 10 minutes away? Do
you live an hour away? If you live an hour away,
you sober up by the.

Speaker 9 (25:29):
Time you get there. If you live 10 minutes away
in Chicago, you don't have room to tailgate or home games.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
That's true.

Speaker 8 (25:36):
No, no.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Garages exist.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
We got a big deck in our building, too. You
could do a little thing out there.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's an adequately sized deck.

Speaker 9 (25:42):
Then I get my weird neighbors wondering what the hell's
happening right now.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Well, my weird neighbors are just also weird, so we
just don't judge each other. We just tolerate each other's weirdness. Anyway, 844-955-9550,
or actually, pretty please, use the Walkie Talk back on
the iHeartRadio app. It's that little red microphone. It basically
just sends us a voice memo, but we like to
walkie-talkie it and go... over because it's more fun that way.

Speaker 9 (26:08):
Five ish things you almost certainly need to know all
right let's start with um frogs that live in the
city are becoming sexier.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Or thank you or.

Speaker 9 (26:23):
Frog calls like mating calls are becoming sexier and louder
to battle the noises of a city life.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Huh We're all struggling out here.

Speaker 9 (26:32):
Tree frogs near busy roads have to adjust their pitch
and speed of their calls to cut through traffic rumbles.
They also tune out their hearing to filter out background
noises so that they can still find their mates.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
This is adaptation at its finest.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
I bet they've gotten way less sexy, though. Because you
know how what's hot is deep and low and conscious,
and they have to be like.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
What's up? So they evolved that way and we're just
making robots. Awesome. Indubitably.

Speaker 8 (27:04):
Indubitably.

Speaker 9 (27:06):
As Labor Day weekend is coming up, do not joke
about having a grenade in your luggage. You will go
to jail. A gentleman in Spain did just this. The
TSA agent says, do you have any dangerous goods? No,
but I do have a grenade.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Well, that's a dangerous game.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Gotta take that seriously.

Speaker 9 (27:26):
The airport bomb detection canine was brought in and no
explosives were found because the man was joking.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Good tip.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
He is still in jail from the false report.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
Not a good joke.

Speaker 9 (27:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
I'd do something stupid like that.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
And that's why I won't be traveling with you.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
TSA would be like, you have anything in your pockets?
I'd be like, just a gun.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
I would leave you on that vacation. That's fair.

Speaker 9 (27:49):
A bottle of volatile chemicals from 1901 was found in
Detroit and caused road closures. The bottle of picric acid
was found and the volunteer realized that if it crystallized,
it can become explosive. So the volunteer took the bottle outside.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Nope.

Speaker 9 (28:10):
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. We would have evacuated. And
then walked down to the local fire department to ask
for disposal help. Bomb squad and hazmat teams responded to
the scene to dispose of two bottles. And nobody was endangered.
But absolutely not would I be touching that bottle. White
Castle has some new items. They've got garage beer cheese

(28:32):
sausage slider.

Speaker 7 (28:33):
Ooh, ooh.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh, because Garage Beer is an actual company. So it's
got to be a collab.

Speaker 9 (28:39):
They've got pretzel nibblers with Garage Beer cheese.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yes, please.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
And then Garage Beer cheese fries. I guess we'll go
on to White Castle later today.

Speaker 7 (28:48):
Football season's right around the corner, baby.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yes, it is. About to put on 100 pounds.

Speaker 9 (28:52):
And more importantly, we know life is hard out here,
but if you need to get a new car, 23.5
as an interest rate for a vehicle is not smart.
The gentleman made a $ 5, 000 down payment on said vehicle.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
The vehicle was $ 37, 000.

Speaker 9 (29:11):
He made 36 months worth of payments, and the new
balance was only at $ 28, 000. He cannot refinance this in
any way, shape, or form just yet. So be aware
of what you're doing when you go out to get
a new vehicle because whatever bank got this guy good.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
As someone who's dated a couple of devil dogs, some grunts,
if you will, I think that interest rate is perfectly reasonable.
We all make decisions.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I'm missing something.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Marines, especially ones that are newly enlisted, tend to buy
trucks at stupid interest rates. They have to stay in
the Marines for way longer than they want to pay
off their truck.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
But you know what those men become? Fathers to wonderful
strippers across the country. And that is a societal service.

Speaker 9 (30:07):
I want everybody to know that not only did the
Cubs play a great game of baseball yesterday, they also
announced that they have a rom-com that they are going
to be posting on social media.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
I hate this.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
My initial comment on X was, man, the White Sox
fans are going to eat us alive for this.

Speaker 9 (30:27):
Yes.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
You deserve it.

Speaker 9 (30:29):
It progressively gets worse. But also, let me remind you,
as October 17th is popping up, because the Bears have
a Hallmark movie, Holiday Touchdown. A Bears love story is
going to be coming out on that date. But not
to be outdone, the Chicago Cubs have announced... Nine innings
to like.

Speaker 8 (30:48):
I hate this.

Speaker 9 (30:49):
A scripted rom-com series that is set to launch on
the team's TikTok account this Friday.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Set your calendars, everybody.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Finally, as a girl, I can get into sports in
my own special way.

Speaker 9 (31:03):
It's going to be a 17-episode short-form series.

Speaker 8 (31:07):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
All on TikTok.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 9 (31:10):
It's going to span the timeline of one nine inning
baseball game where you hang out with Veronica, an aspiring
romance writer in a slump. And then you've got David,
a sweet but lovely shy seatmate who does not believe
in romance at all.

Speaker 8 (31:30):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Maria. Maria.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Quick question about this baseball-style rom-com. What base do they
go to?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Grand Slam, baby.

Speaker 9 (31:38):
You'll have to find out after watching 17 short episodes
on the Cubs TikTok.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I hope she can make him believe in love, and
I hope that he inspires a story for her next column,
which she will inevitably give up writing.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Here's the best part about this.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Women don't need to work.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Nine home runs last night. Did I mention that? Hey,
we don't care. I do not care. I do not care.

Speaker 7 (32:01):
This dropped in the afternoon, and I know the team
saw it, and they were like, guys, we've got to.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Have a good game tonight. This is garbage.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Do we have a trailer?

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I have a bit of the trailer. Romance is a
forgotten language. And eating baseball is romantic.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
But it's kind of hard to write a great romance
when you're 24. I haven't had one yet.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
What if I prove it to you?

Speaker 8 (32:27):
Prove what?

Speaker 4 (32:28):
That romance is real.

Speaker 8 (32:30):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
What if she proves it to him? That romance is real.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Nine home runs last night.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
What you meant to say was nine innings to love.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Nine innings to love.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
17 to three was the win.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Get in there nine times.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I want to know when the hell they filmed this one. Yeah,
I was wondering that too. Are they like filming it around?

Speaker 9 (32:57):
They probably did it on a way streak. But yeah, no,
they definitely, it's filmed all at the friendly confines.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
It's just, wow, man.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
What if she proves it to him?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh my God, I think she's going to.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
That romance is real.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
And a love story that could only happen in Wrigleyville.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
If any of this was real, he'd be like, I'm
trying to watch my DraftKings parlor.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
Right.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I don't have time for this right now.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
Bears love story. What would a Bulls and White Sox
love story? They need their own shows now or movies.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
I think the White Sox one was shameless. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Frank.

Speaker 9 (33:34):
I'll be perfectly honest.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Yikes.

Speaker 9 (33:36):
844-955-9550. Are you going to watch Nine Innings to Love?

Speaker 5 (33:41):
No.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
No sports rom-com is realistic if there isn't some holes
punched in drywall after a couple of those games.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
That just got violent. Well. She liked it. Now, here's
a bit-only plug with Maris.

Speaker 9 (34:04):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Thanks, bud.

Speaker 9 (34:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
844-955-9550.

Speaker 9 (34:09):
It's time for Fun to the Head. This is our
trivia game where you answer trivia questions. We get shot
with Nerf cards, and you can take one of us
hostage to provide you a save if you don't know
the answer to a question.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Up for grabs, Wheel of Rock. We're short on shows. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (34:26):
It's Stained and Breaking Benjamin right now. But we got
tickets for both.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
By the way, Breaking Benjamin, playing with Chevelle. Yes. So
that's a cool show.

Speaker 9 (34:34):
It's going to be an insane show. So if you
want to win, 844-955-9550.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
I was thinking, Stain's playing with Theory of a Dead Man, Hinder.
There's a whole load of slew of bands on that tour.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
What was it? Seether's on there? Seether, too.

Speaker 8 (34:47):
Jesus.

Speaker 7 (34:48):
Seether?

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Don't do it.

Speaker 8 (34:49):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Do it.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Okay, thank you.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
I hardly know her.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
There we go. Michael, give me the number. 844-955-9500.

Speaker 9 (34:58):
Yeah, join us for fun to the head before I
kill somebody.

Speaker 7 (35:01):
844-955-9500.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
See you there.

Speaker 9 (35:03):
And now, fun to the head on Rock 95.5.

Speaker 7 (35:07):
Yeah, don't worry.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
They're using Nerf weapons.

Speaker 9 (35:10):
Are we speaking with Scott from Crown Point, Indiana?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
How's it going? What's up, man? How you doing today?
I'm doing well. I'm doing well.

Speaker 9 (35:24):
Well, glad to hear that. And thank you for joining
us in Fun to the Head today. This is a
lovely trivia game where you answer questions. We get shot
with Nerf darts if you get the questions wrong. And
you can take one of us hostage to provide you
a save if you don't know the answer to a question. Now, Scott,
first thing you got to decide is who do you
want to take hostage?

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Michael, Maria, or myself? I will take you, Maris.

Speaker 9 (35:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
He'll take you.

Speaker 5 (35:50):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
An absolute honor.

Speaker 8 (35:51):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
All right. You guys ready with the questions?

Speaker 8 (35:55):
Born ready.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Let's go.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Question number one.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Which band released the album 10 in 1991? Damn. Pearl Jam.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Pearl Jam, baby. My man Scott is confident today.

Speaker 7 (36:10):
Pearl Jones, as Maria wrote on the question here.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Whoops.

Speaker 8 (36:15):
Yeah, shut up.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Question two. What toy was advertised with the phrase, more
than meets the eye?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Oh, more than meets the eye.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
I have to go with Maris on this one.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Transformers, more than meets the eye. Transformers, robots in disguise. Yeah, no,
it's fine, it's fine. It's okay. One more and you
got the tickets, my man.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
What does GIF stand for? Wrong people say GIF.

Speaker 7 (36:51):
Man.

Speaker 8 (36:52):
Graphics.

Speaker 9 (36:59):
Five.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Information formation.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Oh, you're so close.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Big yes. I mean, way better than I'd have done.
I would not know that at all.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
That would be graphics interchange format. You know, notably not
graphics interchange format.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
In Pokemon Red and Blue, what type of Pokemon is Pikachu?

Speaker 8 (37:30):
Do you like movies?

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Well, the answer is electric.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah, the answer is electric.

Speaker 8 (37:46):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Do you like movies, though?

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Are you a movie guy?

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Somewhat, somewhat.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
All the marbles right here. Okay, we're going to do it.

Speaker 8 (37:56):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
In what 1994 movie featured characters Vincent Vega, played by
John Travolta, and Jules Winfield, played by Samuel L.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
Jackson?

Speaker 7 (38:08):
Pulp Fiction.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah!

Speaker 2 (38:12):
You got him, John.

Speaker 9 (38:15):
All right, we can't party too long because we've got
a wheel to spin.

Speaker 7 (38:18):
All right.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
I love all these sound effects. No.

Speaker 9 (38:23):
Grab it and twist it.

Speaker 8 (38:25):
No.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
We're spinning the wheel.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
All right.

Speaker 9 (38:29):
It's basically a coin flip at this point, but we're
still spinning a wheel 50-50 on Stained and Breaking Benjamin.
Let's see where we land. We need sound effects here, Maris.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
All right. Shortest wheel ever.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Breaking Benjamin.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Nice.

Speaker 9 (38:48):
With Chevelle, Star Set, Kami, Kehoe, and that's everybody. And you.
They're going to be at the Credit Union One Amphitheater
over in Tinley Park on Friday, September 18th.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
My man, Scott, who do you plan on taking with
you to this one?

Speaker 9 (39:10):
Oh, I'm probably going to have to go with a
buddy of mine.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Probably Jimmy. Nice, Jimmy. Shout out to Jimmy.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
He sounds real.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Wow, Maria. Scott has friends.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
I believe that.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
It's me and you and Mikey.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Okay. Well, Scott, congratulations. You won the tickets to see.

Speaker 9 (39:30):
Breaking Benjamin and our very own Chevelle.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Going to be an.

Speaker 9 (39:33):
Absolutely amazing show. Everybody else head on over to Ticketmaster
to get those tickets. All thanks to our friends over
at Live Nation.

Speaker 7 (39:45):
Rock 95.5 Chicago's Rock Station. Everybody's looking to make a
little more money these days. And Uber Eats driver out
in L.A. has figured out a way to get those
tips up.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Hello? What?

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Like six to midnight or?

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, no.

Speaker 7 (39:59):
Uber Eats driver says her tips skyrocket after she started
including feet in her delivery photos.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Proving more that we are sick as a society.

Speaker 7 (40:06):
I don't think we're sick. By the way, her feet
look great, though. For free? I'm not a feet guy,
but her nails are done really well. She's got nice shoes,
like sandals on.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Okay, so she's got like an open-toed sandal.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
She's not walking around barefoot.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
No, no.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
She's fancied up here. There's a picture of her facing,
you know, she sets the bag down. And when she
takes a picture down at the bag, she always includes
her feet, saying that her tips have went off the charts.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
I hate it here.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
The unusual strategy went viral online with people debating whether
it's clever marketing or harmless fun, simply proof that almost
anything on the internet can become a side hustle.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I don't hate it. I think it's great. Sure. It's smart.
Fun for her.

Speaker 7 (40:49):
Ain't nobody doing it on my feet, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
If you got the feet, use them. I just.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
We got the feet.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
We got the feet.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
We got the feet.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Maybe you need to put pictures of your feet places, Maria.
Maybe that'd help you find a man.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Maybe, Michael, if I hadn't been stepped on by a
horse in fourth grade, thus ruining my right big toe
toenail and killing my career in feet pics at such
an awfully early age.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Could we share what that actually looks like on the
Instagram story?

Speaker 8 (41:19):
No.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
No, because it's enough for someone.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
I'm sure it's not that bad.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah, probably not enough for someone.

Speaker 9 (41:25):
It haunts my dreams a little bit because I keep
thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
I got it. I'm going to get it for you.
Show him. Hold on. The wildest part about it is, like,
it just. He's looking.

Speaker 9 (41:38):
It looks so painful.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Really?

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Still?

Speaker 1 (41:41):
It's icky.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
How long ago did that happen?

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Fourth grade.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
It's icky.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
It never grows back the same once it's gone.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
Let me hit this wide angle on the camera. They
can't see it.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
You're fine. For me, we've all done it.

Speaker 9 (41:57):
We've smashed our fingernail in something and then it grows
back and it's fine.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Not a horse.

Speaker 9 (42:03):
This thing's got a mind of its own.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
Oh my God, is this why I'm single?

Speaker 1 (42:09):
No one will ever love me because of my weird
horse toenail.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Damn it. And you're going to have a tough time
on Uber Eats, I guess.

Speaker 9 (42:18):
I guess also you're also going to have a tough
time during Purge Month because it's new foot fodder for
the creepers.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Saddle up.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
It's going to be a rough Purge. Yeehaw. Oh, my God.

Speaker 8 (42:31):
I like it rough.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Sports is next.

Speaker 9 (42:33):
I hear something great happened out at Wrigley Field yesterday.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
And it wasn't a miniseries rom-com. Are you sure?

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Could be.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Historic comms game.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
What is the name of the stupid thing?

Speaker 9 (42:51):
Nine Innings to Love.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
I hate that.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
What if she could prove it?

Speaker 1 (42:56):
That romance, Ezra.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
We're talking sports next.

Speaker 9 (43:02):
Oh my god, sports?

Speaker 4 (43:03):
I hope they fall in love.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
We love playing lesser-known rock artists like Nirvana on Rock 955.

Speaker 9 (43:10):
Wow, never heard of her.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
It's the morning mosh.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Pit, boys. What are we doing? Sports! I love this part.

Speaker 9 (43:17):
And what an amazing day on the North Side. I
just want to start real quick, Michael. I'll let you
get to it.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Nine home runs. Hold on, Michael. 17 to 3.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
Hey, Michael.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Incredible dynamic.

Speaker 7 (43:26):
Hey, Mikey.

Speaker 9 (43:27):
I'll tell you about all the big things that happened
on the North Side yesterday at because they announced a
17-episode short-form series on TikTok called Nine Innings of Lie.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Hey, y'all.

Speaker 7 (43:41):
I'm telling you, that's why the Cubs had such a
big game. They saw the social media team put that out,
and they're like.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
We got to go win this game tonight.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
I hope that she can convince him that romance is real.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
She's only got nine innings, Maria. Will she be able
to do it?

Speaker 1 (43:55):
She's got nine innings.

Speaker 9 (43:57):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
What a gal.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
All right. 17 to three.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
The Cubs won yesterday against the Brewers. A historic win
out at Wrigley Field.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Nine home runs. You say nine?

Speaker 5 (44:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (44:08):
Like as in nine innings of love?

Speaker 2 (44:13):
So baseball's planned. This is all marketing. I hate you guys.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Final score, six to nine.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Yeah, I hope so.

Speaker 7 (44:22):
Seven different Cubs hit a home run last night. By
the way, imagine this is your first game. You're going
to be let down for the rest of your life.

Speaker 9 (44:28):
If I was on a hot date at a Cubs
game and they scored 17 innings, oh my God, I'd
propose by the end.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
And I would believe that romance was real.

Speaker 7 (44:41):
Losers. Alex Bregman, three home runs for RBIs. Also homered,
by the way, Tyrone Taylor, Nico Horner, Seiya Suzuki, Carson Kelly,
Matt Shaw, and Michael Conforto. Insane game, and a shout-out
to all the bettors who had PCA for a home run.
He's the only guy on the team that did not
hit one yesterday.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
You know what would make you feel better? Finding love
at the end of nine innings.

Speaker 7 (45:06):
You know, you can find love at the end of
six innings if Clay Holmes is pitching. Shutout six innings,
eight strikeouts yesterday. And the Cubs finishing August with 62
home runs. Most of any NL team, most any NL
team has ever hit in one month. Seven games back
from Milwaukee. Three games to go at Wrigley this week.

(45:26):
We're sneaking a little.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
It's good, but I do feel bad for them.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Because as of right now, none of those players believe
that romance is real.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
God damn it.

Speaker 9 (45:36):
You want to tell us about the White Sox baseball team?

Speaker 2 (45:39):
They lost yesterday. Yeah, it comes back in action tonight, 740.
Let's see. Astros, White Sox.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
Astros 6, White Sox 3. Sox still in first place
in the AL Central. But second straight loss after a
four-game winning streak.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
You know, it looked pretty good.

Speaker 7 (45:54):
Sox jumped ahead 2-1 in the fourth with an RBI single.
and americami bases loaded walk uh and then astros answered
immediately so uh next game tonight at houston first pitch 7.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
10 you know what i like most about the white
socks right now here we go no super duper embarrassing
rom-com based.

Speaker 7 (46:12):
On that i wish we could make one because it
would be super fun to do the south side.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
I told you shameless exists for.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
A reason wait but we could we could make our
own white socks rom-com Oh, geez.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
It wouldn't be called, like, white socks, though.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
It would probably be called, like, crunchy socks or something.

Speaker 7 (46:30):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
You went there. You went there. Stiff socks.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
They went there first, so not.

Speaker 9 (46:35):
For those of you Cubs fans that are interested in
this TikTok series about love, it does debut on Friday.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
So we know Michael's going to be watching. No, I
will not.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
I'm boycotting. I hope she gets invented with the bats.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 5 (46:50):
What?

Speaker 4 (46:50):
They have to make it to all the bases.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
Hey, we're 95 minutes commercial free right now.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
I've never seen a pitching mound like hers.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 9 (47:05):
We are the morning mosh pit commercial free with a
little Metallica right there.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Because you love us?

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yes, because I love everybody.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
You trapped me in that one.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
I know.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Young men are skipping showers before dates. Oh, pheromone. Oh, no.

Speaker 7 (47:20):
They're pheromone maxing.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
That's not doing what you think it's doing.

Speaker 8 (47:24):
You reek.

Speaker 9 (47:25):
They're not only skipping showers, they're also wearing dirty clothes
and drinking their own urine to be more attractive to women.

Speaker 8 (47:32):
They're drinking their own urine.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Male loneliness epidemic. Make them lonelier.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
They're not doing it right.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
I don't know if you were the same way as me.
It was a process. What, drinking urine? Wait, what are
we talking about?

Speaker 9 (47:47):
Getting ready for a date with a hottie.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Oh, my God. Shower. Shower.

Speaker 9 (47:53):
Fresh cologne.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Fresh clothes. Iron clothes.

Speaker 9 (47:56):
You might have bought a fresh new outfit. Clean the shoes.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Polish. Ready to go. A little jewelry to be fancy.
These beautiful women deserve it.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Agreed.

Speaker 9 (48:08):
And the new generation said, we're going to pheromone max.

Speaker 7 (48:12):
Right.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Well, the new generation also isn't getting laid, like very notably.

Speaker 9 (48:16):
There's clearly a reason for this. Who started this?

Speaker 4 (48:20):
The new generation, you just said.

Speaker 7 (48:21):
Nick Henderson on YouTube says 60% of the time it works.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
I'm looking more like a 22% there.

Speaker 9 (48:29):
Honestly, if you put Sex Panther on, I'd give you
more credit than walking out stank.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
I would like to ask a question.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
And I would like to answer it.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
I wish women would pick this up.

Speaker 7 (48:40):
What?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Sir. What, you don't like the smell of a woman?

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Like the pheromones of a woman? Okay. My goodness. I
want to be. Very specific. Okay.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
All right.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Am I going to get myself in trouble?

Speaker 9 (48:51):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
You're fine.

Speaker 9 (48:53):
You like the pheromones because you like the person you're around.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (48:59):
So what I have found for me is when I
really like somebody, they just got done working out or something.
We're at a concert. We're all sweating. And you get
that hint of essence. Yeah. After you like somebody so much,
it doesn't bother me. I'm fine with it. That's that's
part that's part of the partnership. Now, if you walk

(49:22):
up on me at a festival and I don't know
you and you stank, you just stank. There's nothing else
to it. There's nothing else around it.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
What?

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Well, what I'm not going to do is sit here
and pretend I haven't seen a hot-sweated guy at a
music festival been like, give me all the laughs.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
I want to slide on that.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
However, not on a date.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
You know, part of the reason that people hate AI
slop so much is because it takes the effort out
of something. Something that would have taken a team of
people hours to do can be done in a button
that gives them the ick. Any dude can roll out
of bed, say he's going to take me on a
date and bring me to a coffee shop and smell
like crap and we can have coffee and a fine conversation.

(50:07):
It goes so much further if I can tell that
you have put effort into your appearance, into the date, X, Y,
or Z, and that's way more appealing. I don't want
you to A, I slopped the date.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
I'm eating pee. What more do you want? I'm drinking
my own urine. I'm trying everything. Yours.

Speaker 9 (50:22):
I think the biggest thing that we've missed about this,
not only are you offending the nasal passage of your date,
you are offending everyone around you. The waiter or waitress
is not going to treat you well. I'm getting you
in and out as quickly quickly as possible.

Speaker 7 (50:37):
Well i think there's a fine line right you don't
want to be like bo stank that's what they're going
now you just want to have a little bit of
that like essence you don't have to.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Try for that oh you know what i mean like
that doesn't have to be a gold you're going to
get that essence what do.

Speaker 7 (50:50):
They call it what maxing why are we maxing everything
pheromone maxing which by the way not how that works
we're radio maxing this morning i was gonna say i
don't like i i would guess in some instances yes
we are releasing pheromones but i don't think we are.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
They've done research into this and pheromones on humans are
negligible like at best.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Yeah it's not a it's not a huge difference but like.

Speaker 9 (51:11):
And it all comes down to your preference if your
date likes that smell of man then they're.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
In even so they probably don't want that on the first.

Speaker 9 (51:21):
Date or a date in general imagine being at a
steakhouse and you got all that beautiful steak smell in
the background. And then here's Billy sitting at the table
next to me, just sweating urine out.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
I guess it's different for guys and girls. I'm disgusting.
So that's okay. I love that.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
It's also different for Mikey and the rest of the world.
We're going to do what together?

Speaker 2 (51:41):
I knew it.

Speaker 9 (51:42):
Good Lord.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Morning mosh pit on rock 95, five, wake up a
rock hard.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Am I right?

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Those news headlines.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
We say rock hard and good news. Blue shoe. Hems.
Just me. Honeypack. Honeypack is awesome.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
Sure can get you down. Or up in this case,
I suppose.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
We're staying up, baby.

Speaker 7 (52:04):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (52:05):
Hours.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Four hours later. Like a V12.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
I think you got to go to a doctor after that. Luckily,
we here on the Morning Mosh Pit are going to
put a positive spin on your news headlines.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
There's a video for that on the internet. There's a
number of them, in fact.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
This is Beyond News Beers.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
Yeah, just whenever you want.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
I finger slipped.

Speaker 8 (52:26):
Bet it did.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Careful.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Night-wielding woman kills one, wounds another in Times Square before
being shot dead by police.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
I saw this video everywhere yesterday. It's sad. It's rough.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
But she made it to Times Square.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Got to see the big screens.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Woman hospitalized with possible shark bite on Martha's Vineyard.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
She survives.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
Sharks on the vineyard?

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Land shark.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Florida set to carry out 14th execution this year in
the nation's busiest death chamber.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Sounds about Florida.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
You can probably witness it on a flock camera. They
haven't gotten rid of them yet. Smell of death hangs
over rescue efforts in Nepal as deaths pass 1,000.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I didn't think about that.

Speaker 9 (53:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
That's not ideal. See, the Grand Canyon got kicked out.
Their ass kicked, too, from floods. Yeah, it's bad out there.
Mother Nature's upset with us.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Not so grand.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
All of it.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Just God knows beers.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Thank you, Maria.

Speaker 9 (53:28):
If you were paying attention to the Bears rivalry collection
I just dropped.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Bought my shoes. All fire. Oh, my God. It looks
so much better when you can buy it.

Speaker 7 (53:37):
I'm telling you, the shoes especially have so many little
touches in them.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Like the insoles say Monsters of the Midway. There's a
lot of really cool details built with them.

Speaker 9 (53:44):
Yes, Maria.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Hey, do you think that they're going to have merch
for nine innings to love?

Speaker 2 (53:50):
I hate you.

Speaker 7 (53:52):
It's a good one.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
Ah!

Speaker 2 (53:53):
It's time to dork out.

Speaker 8 (53:55):
Dork.

Speaker 9 (53:56):
Just strap in because we're going to be talking about
GTA 6 until launch. Now, the girlfriends and fiancés have
chimed in here.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Are they ready to play?

Speaker 1 (54:06):
No.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. New TikTok trend.
I said trend.

Speaker 9 (54:12):
There are girlfriends and fiancés that are telling other women
not to let their boyfriends or husbands or fiancés play
GTA 6. Because of the content of the game, where
you're basically playing the game as if you're in a relationship.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Not to let them? Correct. Okay. Let's hear from her.
She says it's better to not blow.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Okay. In absolutely no human way is my fiance playing
GTA 6. After I just saw that you literally have
to maintain a relationship with a girl in the video
game and text her and she'll get mad if you
don't text her back and you have to take her
on dates and you can have with her and there's
strip clubs where you can get lapped. Don't let your

(54:55):
boyfriend or fiance or husband play GTA 6. Absolutely not. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 9 (55:04):
She said a lot more because there's obviously a lot
that happens in GTA 6, which is not rated for children.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Yeah. And she's very upset.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Really good marketing for GTA 6, by the way.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Well done, you guys. Good on her part.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
This is clearly trolling.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
This is, like, very obvious trolling.

Speaker 7 (55:20):
I saw a headline earlier that said this is actually
becoming a trend on TikTok, and maybe it started as trolling.

Speaker 9 (55:25):
That's exactly where I was going to go. She may
have started as troll-a-lo-lo-lo.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Clearly.

Speaker 9 (55:31):
But there are enough other women who are responding within
this and going, oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
I absolutely would never. That's not going to be a thing.
And for me.

Speaker 9 (55:42):
If you know your dude is a gamer or you
are the gamer, you should be gaming right next.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
To him with this one. Or he just wants some
time to himself.

Speaker 9 (55:51):
Enjoy the game. You mentioned there's like a two-player option maybe?

Speaker 7 (55:55):
Yeah, so you could play two-player. You could also switch
between them. But like you said, it's a guy and
a girl. Yeah. So they could be in a relationship.
I'm not sure how that all breaks down. I didn't
even know you could do the texting thing where you
have to sort of keep the relationship up.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
They're making it very realistic. That's cool. Bring on the robots, baby.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
So we do acknowledge then as a society that we
do want our boyfriends to text us.

Speaker 7 (56:18):
Yeah, but then I've done something wrong, I'm sure. So
it's easier to just be quiet.

Speaker 8 (56:21):
Maybe we just want to freaking talk.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
We were just like, do you hear how your day was?

Speaker 2 (56:25):
You're going to tell me all the things I didn't
do right.

Speaker 9 (56:27):
Can we do that while I play FC 2027?

Speaker 2 (56:31):
I'll be over here. I got the new Donkey Kong.
I'm going to play that. Yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 9 (56:36):
We can sit together and have an update.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
Because this is trolling.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
It's not real. It's like not a real thing. It
feels real.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
I know this might come as a surprise because usually
we see it from men on the internet, but women
do troll.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
Sometimes we lie and sometimes we joke.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
I'm waiting on the women.

Speaker 9 (56:52):
And some of them have already stepped up in the
comments and be like, I'm going to the strip club.
I'm the one that's going to mess this relationship up.
I want to see the true gamer girlies or women
step up in this moment and just be like, hey,
This is as much for us as it is for
the guys, too.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
I don't think the gamer girlies need to protect the
gamer guys. In fact, I don't think the gamer girlies
have been treated well enough by the gamer guys to
do any version of protecting you all.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. We got text coming.

Speaker 9 (57:22):
I just want to see them more. I want to
see them be more visible out there.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
I bet you do want to see them.

Speaker 9 (57:26):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Yes, you do.

Speaker 7 (57:27):
We got comments coming in on YouTube Live. We are
live on video.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Let's see here.

Speaker 7 (57:31):
The game may turn him on. Then a little time after,
Bella says that. Also, Garmar says, I know if I
text my wife at lunch, she gets pissed. It's all,
why are you texting me? And Jesse says, she's lame.
I told my man to get me a PC so
I could hop on these games with him.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Exactly. Boom, boom. There it is. 844-955-9550.

Speaker 9 (57:55):
If this were to happen in your life, what would
your reaction be if your partner told you you couldn't
play GTA 6?

Speaker 2 (58:01):
I'll get you the Uber.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
I'll even get you an Uber Black.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Counter question.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
How good is the leg?

Speaker 7 (58:10):
Uh-uh.

Speaker 5 (58:10):
Uber.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
Uber. Line in the sand.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Apparently you guys have never been made to see God.
I feel for you.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Text time. Rock 95.5 Chicago's Rock Station. One of our
favorite times of day when we get to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (58:24):
Yay.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Yeah, you can text us anytime. 844-955-9550.

Speaker 7 (58:28):
Let's head back over here. I was just checking the
wind tonight at Wrigley to see if the wind is
blowing out again. No, I deleted the app, DraftKings app.
I'm going to do a fake bet today and see
how it turns out. Anyway, text from the 630. Home
gate all day. Can't be sitting on a comfortable sofa
with a bathroom two seconds away. We were asking home

(58:50):
gate or tailgate before a game.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Meaning, do you want to be in the parking lot
before the game or do you want to just do
all that at home?

Speaker 2 (58:56):
And then catch an Uber, get in there and go
right into the game.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
From 610, we were talking about younger generations envying things
about older generations, and older generations can hold conversations with
each other. 610 says, talking about Gen Z, their phone...
are definitely a problem, but the pot pens made them
so dumb.

Speaker 9 (59:13):
219, I am a truck driver in the area of
northwest Indiana. And I've been listening to you guys ever
since I've been in a truck driving route Monday through Friday.
And the three of you guys, Walt Klinger and the
rest of the talented people surrounding the station... Helped me
get through these long overtime days.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Rock on.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Aw, don't forget Pat Capone, but yeah. I love that.

Speaker 9 (59:36):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Just makes my day. Maria, will you do this.

Speaker 8 (59:38):
Next one with me?

Speaker 2 (59:39):
I sure will.

Speaker 8 (59:39):
I'm from 630 Cedar.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
I hardly know her.

Speaker 9 (59:44):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (59:44):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (59:46):
Maris, you take the next one.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Nah, I think this is good.

Speaker 8 (59:50):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Want to do this one too?

Speaker 9 (59:51):
Yeah, you can do that one.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
All right. So we were talking about how door dashers
or Uber Eats delivery drivers will get more money if
when they post the photo of the food that they've
dropped off, they keep their feet in there. Feets! From 574. Oh,
Maria's going to hate me for this, but folks pay
more for oddities on Feet Finder.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Feet Finder?

Speaker 9 (01:00:12):
Damn it.

Speaker 8 (01:00:14):
I don't really know.

Speaker 9 (01:00:15):
815- If it smells like Provolone, leave it alone. That's
what I say. Mike from Bloomingdale. We're talking about the
young youths are not showering before dates, and that's specifically
the young men.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
I got to let the pheromones out. That's how you
lure the ladies. That's how that works.

Speaker 5 (01:00:36):
Gross.

Speaker 7 (01:00:37):
From the 312, as a female, I would want my
date to put in the effort of being clean and ready. Personally,
I'd be more attracted to a man from smelling their
cologne or body spray over pheromones. You got to get
that ax out, baby. You got to shower in the ax.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
I accidentally put a repeat here. So this is either
from 353 or 219.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Who's to say?

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
I can't wait to find who's top and who's bottom
at the ninth.

Speaker 9 (01:00:59):
Inning of love. Yes, if you missed it, the Chicago
Cubs yesterday are announcing a social media rom-com series.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Nine home runs last night.

Speaker 9 (01:01:09):
Ninth innings to nine innings to love.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Historic game. Great team out there.

Speaker 9 (01:01:14):
It's going to be on the team's social media.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
They're TikTok this Friday.

Speaker 9 (01:01:18):
17 short episodes just for you. From 720, my wife
is buying us each a copy of GTA and a
second PS5 so we can both play it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
When it comes out. That's love. Where do you get
that wife? That's love. Does she have a sister?

Speaker 7 (01:01:35):
From 708, gamer girls are waiting for Fable, not GTA.
I don't know what Fable is.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
It's a different game.

Speaker 7 (01:01:41):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
From 773.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
Nine innings to love.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Four and a half innings is perfectly adequate.

Speaker 9 (01:01:48):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Thank you, Seth. I gave it. 844-955-9550 if you have
any last-minute texts to get in. Or hit us on
the Walkie Talk backs on the iHeartRadio app. The little
red microphone up in that right-hand corner basically sends us
a voice memo.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
But do it in Walkie Talkie form.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Give us a... over at the end because it's fun.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
And we like to have fun.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
What a wonderful Tuesday spent with you on the Morning
Mosh Pit on Rock 95.5.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
My name is Maria Balmer.

Speaker 9 (01:02:20):
Nine innings to love, Maris.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
I hate that.

Speaker 7 (01:02:23):
I'm super-duper Cubs fan Michael with the big historic win
last night. And we're going to ignore that the Cubs
are doing a stupid rom-com thing.

Speaker 5 (01:02:32):
Hey, Mikey.

Speaker 9 (01:02:33):
Yeah, what?

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
If you had to make a Cubs player believe that
romance was real, how would you do it?

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Wine and dine, of course. I'd take a good shower.
No fair. So you are showering first. I'd be very clean.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
Good to know.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Wine and dine. Nine innings. The guy can got like
two in me. Sir. I'm being honest.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Two at the same time?

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Oh, no. Innings.

Speaker 9 (01:02:55):
Oh, God damn it. We love you guys. And we
love hearing from you. There's a myriad of ways for you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
To do that. You've got the text or the phone number. Michael,
what's the number?

Speaker 9 (01:03:03):
844-955- We're also streaming on a slew of platforms.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Maria, where are we streaming?

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
We got YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, soon hopefully TikTok, you know,
all over the interwebs.

Speaker 9 (01:03:16):
And we also got this beautiful thing called the TalkBack
on the beautiful and free iHeartRadio app. You can jump
in on any of our conversations at any great time,
and most of the quality is actually amazing. All you
got to do is hit that red microphone button at
the top when you are listening to Rock 95.5.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
You can send us a voicemail, essentially. So here's our
first one from today. Good morning, MMP.

Speaker 7 (01:03:43):
I would definitely have to say tailgate because I am
not close to any of my sports venues. Fair.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
So home gate or tailgate.

Speaker 8 (01:03:54):
But that's me.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Peace out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Speaker 4 (01:03:58):
You too.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Your friend, Motton. All right, Martin. Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:04:02):
It sounded like Martin was talking to you because you
talked and then he paused for a second like you
were done.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
It's pretty funny. Let's get to our next one.

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
Me and Martin, we always banter.

Speaker 9 (01:04:12):
This is Quest checking in on Corporate Chill Maris about
those Kidz Bop tickets.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Over and out. Do we have Kidz Bop tickets?

Speaker 7 (01:04:22):
When this show first started, we actually gave away Kidz
Bop tickets, and so it's a running joke now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
It was a joke. You're joking?

Speaker 9 (01:04:29):
We were giving away the Kidz Bop tickets, and then
you guys kept asking for them, and now you're still
asking for them.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
This isn't a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
I actually have a question.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
It's a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
It's not a bit.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
It's absolutely a bit. No, I actually have a question.
It's going to be a bit. I don't. What is it?

Speaker 5 (01:04:42):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
Do we have Kidz Bop tickets?

Speaker 9 (01:04:44):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 8 (01:04:46):
It's not a bit.

Speaker 9 (01:04:47):
It's not a bit.

Speaker 8 (01:04:48):
It's not a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
I was asking the question genuinely, and now you're mocking me.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
You know what we do have? Nine innings to love.

Speaker 8 (01:04:57):
Damn it! Romance is real.

Speaker 9 (01:04:59):
I'm Erin Pruitt.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
I just don't know. I'm just here at this baseball game.
I don't know if I can find love. What's going
to happen?

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
I don't even like sports.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Only third base? No.

Speaker 9 (01:05:11):
If you didn't hear, the Chicago Cubs have a fantastic season.
Series coming out on TikTok. Nine innings to love. We'll
be debuting on Friday. And the only thing that's going
to help save this is if the Cubs sweep the Brewers.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
And I don't care. Well, they're predicted to win tonight.
I don't care. Yes, Maria.

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
Do you think in nine innings to love, he uses
a glove?

Speaker 7 (01:05:35):
Well, I think if he's a responsible individual, probably, especially
when you're batting, you don't want to get the blisters
on your hands.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
Like a batting glove? Is that what we're talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 9 (01:05:44):
It's absolutely a batting glove, Michael. Good observation there.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
Oh, Wilson.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
It's a joke about condoms.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
We got to go.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
Bye.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
It's getting worse. Walt's next.
