Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, I'm back and unfortunately it is a very tough
news day, but these are important things that we do
need to discuss over the weekend. Of mass shooting at
Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday killed two
students wounded nine others during the second day of final exams.
Authorities initially had detained a person of interest in connection
with the attack, but officials later announced the individual would
be released after determining there was no basis to hold

(00:34):
them that investigation continues without an identified suspect. Brown University
has announced that all remaining undergraduate, graduate and medical classes, exams, papers,
or projects for the fall twenty twenty five semester will
not take place as scheduled. And it was a grim
start to the Hankah holiday in Australia. Police there say
a fifty year old man and his twenty four year

(00:55):
old son carried out a mass shooting at a Honka
celebration at Bondai Beach, killing six sixteen people, including the father,
hospitalizing at least forty others. That attack happened during the
Hunukah by the Sea celebration and is being investigated as
a targeted act of terrorism against the Jewish community. Police
recovered six legally registered firearms owned by the father, he'd
had a gun license for ten years, as well as

(01:17):
multiple active improvised explosive devices which were later rendered Safety
say there are no additional suspects.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Those videos are crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's un The guy that came in and tackled and
wrestled the gone away from the dad.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I believe it was did it quickly too, very quickly, hid.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Behind a car, waited till he was taking a few shots,
and just commandeered it.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
So hero right there he got shot. I think what
they say twice? I think so?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I mean, that's hero City right there.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Unbelievable, absolute superhero. Yes. Act director and producer Rob Reiner
and his wife were found dead at their Los Angeles
home yesterday afternoon after firefighters were called to provide medical
eight around three thirty pm. Please say. The couple's thirty
two year old son, Nick, is alive and being questioned. However,
no arrest have been made. Authorities have not released a
cause of death. However, there were reports that both had

(02:05):
sustained knife wounds.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Hands down the most underrated director I think in Hollywood history.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I didn't realize until I was listening to a recap
of his career how many massive, iconic, absolutely iconic. I
had no idea the breath of his work was so wide.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Few good men, Princess Bride, yep, I mean you guys,
stand by me, stand by me. When Harry met Sally misery,
misery he did. Oh my god, I must forgot about misery.
My friend and I talk about these things all the time,
like you know, top ten lists and all that stuff. Sure,
and we've actually had this conversation about how whenever you
talk about the greatest directors of all time, it's the
same people everybody talks about. No disrespect to Scorsese, he's

(02:41):
my favorite, but like you know, Spielberg and Tarantino, but
no one ever. The guy's a legend and a great
actor too. All of your family got so I'm sure
I would hit hard man. It did.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
It definitely did. More information I'm sure will be coming
out within the next day or two. I'm sure LAPD
will have a press conference later later giving any informational
updates that they may have had.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Stand by.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Right now, in Boston it is fifteen degrees, feels like
three I believe in Worcester it feels like minus eight. Ah,
so that's fun. Give me a sunny day until right
about five pm we may see some clouds moving in
over the area. High of twenty six degrees. Make sure
you bundle up out there, and if you're gonna take
your doggoes out for a walk, don't let those little

(03:23):
pazos hit the pavement too long.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, yeah, it's too cold for you.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
It's too cold for them. Okay, I'm Danielle. Let you
download yeah one.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Hundred point seven seconds of sports with Tyler.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I don't have much better news. Unfortunately, the day started
out with a few laughs though, as we watched Mac
Collins walk into Gillette Stadium in the snow, shirtless and shoeless.
I was like, yeah, okay, stepping up his game. I
like this started out great. First drive of the game
of the game, Drake may runs it in from the.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Eighth what's an option and May coox to New York
side a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Bill's opened the game with two three and ounce which
was also nice to see. And then on the next drive, oh,
how about an encore for Drake Man, chuck up May,
He's gonna run. Second score of the day.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Drake May on the crown for the touchdown.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Pats go up fourteen to nothing to end the first quarter,
absolutely rocking. Pat's first drive of this second quarter ends
like this.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Henderson, He's going the distance, then he's gone.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's all cooking for New England. Fifty two yards for
the rook So the Pats go up twenty one to nothing.
I mean the shirts and hats, the t shirts and
hats are printed AFC East Champions. I'm thinking, well, this
is this is a lock. This is gonna be a
complete blowout. Not so much. Bills finally get on the
board in the next drive, five yard touchdown pass the

(04:54):
James Cook twenty one to seven Pats. Pat's had the
bill of the ball, though, with less than two minutes
in the first half, the attacked on a field goal.
We go into halftime twenty four to seven. Things are
looking great, but then unfortunately it was all Bills in
the second half. They went on to score three unanswered
touchdowns to go up twenty eight to twenty four. But
the Patriots, they were they were fighting, man. They bounced

(05:15):
right back with another huge run by Henderson.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Henderson bouncers away and Henderson is off to the races.
Look at Mary, does he have another one in a
mace coming? He does, tucksdown good, fine trivion, Henderson track
May leading the.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Way sixty five yards to the house. Pats go up
once again thirty one, twenty eight, and I can honestly
tell you I still thought they were gonna lose because
they just could not stop Josh Allen Bills. If you
go back to their first touchdown in the second quarter,
they scored touchdowns on five straight drives. Pats actually still

(05:55):
had a shot to win though. They had the ball
with two forty three left on the clock, and unfortunately
they went four and out. Thirty five thirty one is
the final. Let's not panic. We're still the number two
seed in the NFC. All right, We're going to the playoffs.
We're on to Baltimore Sunday Night football this weekend. A
couple other big notes from Week fifteen in the NFL.
First time since twenty fourteen, the Kansas City Chiefs will

(06:15):
not be in the playoffs. I gotta be honest with you,
that was a nice little ending to the night. I
was like, all right, all this bad news for the Pats,
But at least I know we don't have to watch
the Kansas City Chiefs. But I do feel bad about
this though. Patrick Mahomes out for the season twenty al
that's never a fun ending. And it looks like Michael
Parsons may have suffered the same injury MRI for him
today forty four year old Philip Rivers. While you were away, Danielle, Yes,

(06:37):
the Indianapolis Colts dragged Philip Rivers off the couch. He
has not played football in five years.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
In a hot minute, it's a while.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
And it looked like it for a while there. He
had no zip on the ball at all, but somehow
kept the Colts in the game. They almost won if
it weren't for a last second field goal by the Seahawks. Finally,
are Bruins four game win streak over? They got crap?
And where were they last night? In Minnesota? That's right,
they were in Minnesota. Yeah, six goals given up by

(07:08):
Jeremy Swaman. Not good. Next up, Bruins host you talk
tomorrow night at the garden puck drops at seven. All right,
that's sports. I'm Tyler and this is the Chuck Noll
The Morning Show on ZX. More highlights from twenty twenty
five on the show next.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Put a faith to the voice by following at WCLX
on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok at show on one
hundred point seven w CLX Boston's classic rock.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Hopefully you slept well last night unless you have a problem.
Wait a minute, how close is that to this? They
both very similar. For a second there, I thought he
was playing that. That's an actual guy snoring, That's a
human being. Yes, play that again. That is so loud.

(08:03):
Oh my god, this is an actual moose recorded by
the BBC. That's that's like, that's like yelling in your sleep?
Can you that's what it sounded like? How do you
get how do you not wake yourself up just from
the volume of that? Dude? I I know people that snore,

(08:25):
and when you're younger and you know you're sharing apartments
with buddies and everything. Like I had a couple of
friends that oh they could rip the paint off the wall. Yes,
it was bad, and you just lay there angry and
you just want to like, call m how do you?
How are you alive in the morning? How did you
reach that point after snoring like that? I remember as
a kid here my old man snoring like you know,
I'm down the other end of the house. Oh yeah,
can you play imagine that? That's just what does his

(08:55):
wife do? Or I mean if he is he married? Like,
you can't sleep with another human next to you. Apparently
some people get used to it. You get used to
something that hideous. So there is a cure. Now, there's
all all kinds of cures out there. Because this is
on TikTok, so it has to be true. It has
to be legit. People who snore are taping their mouths shut?

(09:17):
Can we come on? Do we not do this now?
I don't like I'm a mouth breather. I don't know
about you. If you take my mouth get that audio.
When you say your mouth breather, you mean while you're awake,
like during the day. Can mouth shut? Yeah that's great?
Oh my god. But people are saying taping your mouth

(09:40):
shut and just bringing through your nose helps get you
a better night's sleep and it prevents snoring. I can't
believe that's true. Well, they do. I mean, I've heard
people say that breathing through your nose is better for
you because your nose is like a natural filter. Yeah,
your mouth really isn't right. So if you're like, that's
not great for you. Yeah, but when you're sleeping, your

(10:01):
mouth just kind of falls open. You go to breathe
through your mouth anyway. I could never breathe through my
nose all night long. And if you tape your mouth shut,
I ain't gonna drown or all. That's what I'm saying, Like,
I just see myself choking. If doctors are saying, don't
tape your mouth shut at night because it's you, you
could die. Don't tape your mouth shut while you sleep
with you nuts. What kind of tape do you use?
You use like duct tape, the blue tape, the blue paint.

(10:21):
You're gonna it has to be something strong because that's
pretty powerful right there. Yea masking tape. Oh, that guy
would rip right through masking tape. Masking tape doesn't stand
a chance against that guy. He needs thick, black electrical tape.
Either get a facelift or get the thing to help
you with the snoring, or taking the tape off of
your face every morning morning, like like in the forty

(10:48):
year old version, A ripping the tape. How's your go tea?
All right, I'm gonna take the tape one two one
two check check.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Just check it in on my buddy, It's time.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
To check in Chuck on Boston's Classic Rock one point
seven w z LX.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
There's a recall going on right now, hostess. I can't
find it right now. What was the story the ding dongs?

Speaker 3 (11:26):
There's mold?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Was it ding dongs? I wanted to make sure I
got the right one? Pretty sure there's ding dongs? Yeah,
this is a possible mold contamination happening with ding dongs.
A lot of people like those frozen, right, never had
it frozen. I don't like a frozen snackcake or cold chocolate.
See him a ring ding man myself? Okay, I like
ring dings. But you brought up a good point along

(11:50):
with your favorite snack cake. How did you eat it?
Because we always get the like I would get the
Swiss roll and I would unwrap it. Yeah yeah and
eat it that way, soub chocolate.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Growing up, my favorite snack that I used to harass
my mother for all the time was the Peggy Lawton
brownie in the little rack, which are like so like
twenty pounds dance. But I also I didn't have a
specific way of eating those. The only thing I had
a specific way of eating is the traditional Hostess cream

(12:22):
filled cupcake. You got to peel the intact layer of
frosting off with the white squiggle on the top, which.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Would always come off into because God knows what it's
made out.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
With that little thing where the drip went over the edge.
So if you kept that, if that didn't break off
in the package, it was.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Like all right to make wax lips out of well
you know.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
So yeah, that was the only specific And then I
also really liked coffee cake.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Like I know, it's like twinkies, it's so dry, the
coffee cake, but I would like that and you would
take the top off, the crunchy part on the top,
the crumble part, and try to even out the cake
with the cry Yeah, you have to get enough crumble
with enough cake, correct. I like Susie cues because they
were so big, you get so much, you get the

(13:08):
bang for the buck, and you would have to lick
the cream up the side. Of course, first I was
not the only one who likes Susie cues. Yeah, my
favorites for the Susie cues. The two chocolate cakes are
the cream filling in the middle. And then I got
a girlfriend called Sue, and I used to call it

(13:28):
Susie Cue and maybe stock. I don't know where that
was going, but plane wing. Wait, you got a lot
of cake and it was moist too.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Any of those like ring Dings Ding Dong Susie cues.
It reminds me of Jim Gaffigan, the comedian skit about
Mexican food where it's like, what is Nacho's? It's a
tortilla with cheese, meat and vegetables.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
What is burrito? It's a tortilla with cheese, meat and vegetables.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Like it's all chocolate cake with a cream filling, just
in different iterations.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Like devil dog. It's so dry, so dry filling, just
it it hits.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
The cake is just stuck to the roof of your mouth.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
You had to have milk with that, Yeah, you had to.
You couldn't have a sodi. You had to have milk
with a devil dog.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
You know what I had recently? That was good that
I was surprised because I'm not a Twinkie fan, but
I had a chocolate twinkie recently. Don't get weird. It's
not code, don't dm me. It was very good.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I've never had a chocolate twinking. It was very good.
Every now and then I'll go with the twinkie, which
and the filling is supposed to be banana flavor. Do
you ever get the banana flavor from that? I don't
think i've ever actually, yeah, had the original flavor banana flavor.
I just thought it was like like yellow cake and cream. Well,
how long's it been on the shelf? Well, it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
I mean that's the thing. We've had ones that have
been sitting out since nineteen eighty two when they haven't deteriorated.
It's all petroleum.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
How about funny bones? Remember funny bones?

Speaker 5 (14:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:44):
It was peanut butter. Peanut butter. Yeah, chocolate and peanut butter.
Why couldn't you do that? There's something about that peanut butter.
I can't, I can't. It's a very specific type of
peanut butter. This is true. Yeah, yeah, chicky all right?
Just the fruit pies in the wax wax paper, people
love those. You got to go with the cherry. Okay,

(15:05):
it's the only one you can do with the cherry.
What is a little box table? Talk local?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Right, that's right, that's why my buddy Mike Shoe loves them.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, we got another talk back here. My go to
snack as a kid was the Drake's Funny Bones Money
Money Bones. I could have one right now. They're always
kind of a little sweaty too in the package, a
little sweat to them. It bothers me, the people are saying,
like as a kid, because like if you look at
that number of the food pyramid, like, for me, that
bottom rung is all Drake's cakes in my life still

(15:41):
as an adult. Yeah, I didn't know you were supposed
to stop eating those things. Well, let me let me
ask Marty. Marty, do you still eat the snack cakes
that you loved as a child. Oh, I'm a snack
cake fiend. Will you go to my go to funny
bones honey, but very popular? Do we need chocolate? You

(16:04):
got peanut butter. You can't ask for more. It's true.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
We need to have a Funny Bones taste test in here.
I'd be up for that cake taste test.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Do they make them smaller now? I've bet everything is
everything has scaled down. Yeah, yeah, it's horrible because I
buy the club pack of devil Dogs. There's like thirty
of them in a case and you open the bottom
and it's like a little dispenser. Wait are you going
to Costco? And you get you get the toilet paper,
the paper towels, and a giant rack yep of devil

(16:33):
dogs and it dispenses like pellets, like a hamster pellet.
You know. Just go over and over to the con.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
I just realized I forgot to bring my own crustable
with me this morning. Damn it.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
You can't judge anyone if you crustables. How about yodels?

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Okay again, it's just it's chocolate cake wrapped up with
cream and a.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Chocolate roll, right version of Swiss roll. All right, I
have a controversial one, okay, snowballs.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
I love snowballs. The strawberry ones really good.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I always like to peel the top off, but it's
it's weird. It's like a marshmallowy, gluey coconut. Those they're pretty,
they're pretty rough fresh, always sweaty in the package, yes,
tacking in the package. Joyce, Uh, what did your mom

(17:22):
used to do.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
My mom when I was in elementary to junior high school,
she went out with the hostess cake guy that used
to go That's how she met him at Henry's Market
when she lived when she worked in Beverly, and he
used to deliver the cakes there. So I when I
had time off from school, I used to go with
him on his truck. But I told him I didn't
like hostess cakes. I like Drakes. So he used.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
To took a stag.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
And I used to get reached out from the Drakes
guy because he knew him, so I had a I
had him in with the Drakes guy.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
So joyce he worked the room. Done doesn't love the
Drake Ye seven text w zlex and your message to
seven oh four to seven oh. The free iHeartRadio app
used the talk back button. What was your go to
snack cake as a kid, or in Pelosi's case, what

(18:16):
kind of snack cakes do you have right now in
your home that you're probably gonna bust out later on? Today?

Speaker 3 (18:23):
You need the Entemen's Danish with the knife still in
the box.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Knife has to stay in the ball in the box,
but it's all crusty. It's you've left too much on
the knife. The stuff on the knife is dry and
pp it off. You pick just white.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Now back to.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
The check in with Chuck Classic Rock w z LX.
What's your favorite snack cake as a child or maybe
you still get them all these years later and eat
them on a regular basis what you're talking about? What

(19:00):
is that? This is a devil dog? This is a
drake devil dog? All right? Is it smaller than they
used to be? So everything? Everything is smaller? It is?
Do you have something to wash it down with? Well,
you know what, I'm gonna kill you because I don't.
There's no milk in this house. But I'm gonna go
for it and see if you eat it dry. It's delicious.

(19:22):
How much it's stuck right, It's like it's like a
communion wafer. It just latches right to the roof. The
part is part of it latches the roof of your mouth.
The other part latches to your fillings. Oh oh yeah,
good luck getting that out. I love them? Yeah there,
Oh my god, this is I can't do this. That's
right up there with waterboarding. Haven't had that without any

(19:44):
kind of milk or something? You know, what if this
is waterboarding. Give it to me because it is delicious.
I'm gonna keep going even though it's terrible. But what
was your favorite? Like, uh, susie Que, devil Dog, Funny Bones.
There were so many, and there's a lot of them
are still out there too. But I got to say
bottom of the bar. When you're really desperate and you
go to the vending machine, the only thing left in
there is the hostess honeybun. Oh yeah, we just like

(20:08):
just fuse to the plastic. Yeah, that's sitting there for
a long time.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Crossing's cracking off.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I gotta have something, and you go for that, and
you're wearing most of that in your hands too. I'm
about halfway through this. I can make it.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
It's just a rolled up, little sweet slice of diabetes.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Oh god, we got some talkbacks about some favorites here.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Of course, everybody's gonna call in with a traditional twinkie,
our cupcake.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Sure, I'm gonna go with funny Bones.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
The inventor of peanut butter and a chocolate cake surrounded
by chocolate dip.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
Chocolate dip, unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
Just never put enough peanut butter.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
In the dam.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Okay. It says it like it's a major discovery. I
got one for you. Funny book check. All right, You
guys didn't think of that as my favorite? Were ring dings.

Speaker 7 (21:06):
I remember when they used to come in the tinfoil wrapping,
and I swear they were much bigger than they are today.
But those and Susiccu's were my favorite. Yes, sus accusing,
take the top layer off, like all the frosting, put
them back together. Yeah, so sus accuse. The ring dings
right up there, the.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Ring ding you had to have part of the original
wrapper on it, because if you've tried to hold that
bare hand, it's just it's completely melting in your hand.
It's slipping out of a hockey pucket. They were like
closer to the size of a hockey pocket versus where
they are now. I think they were bigger than a
hockey puck, though it was it was wider. I haven't
had one so long. No, you're better than me. You're
better than me. You think you're better than me because

(21:47):
you haven't asked the real boat to the hostess.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Apple pies.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, the best. Yeah, without a doubt, it's
gonna be that. The apple, plain and simple. How about
the McDonald's apple pie. You get it's eight thousand degrees.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Well fry anymore, that's the problem. Like Popeye still fries
their pie.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
They just throw it in the microwave.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
No, it's like baked. So yeah, it's in like the
little heater. They don't do it in the deep fire
at McDonald's. No, they fad. There was like for a
long time there was one. I think, like this little
tiny hole in the wall McDonald's in the Financial District
that still has the deep frier, but now they're baked.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Why can't we have nice things to get? Why can't
we bring back the cracker barrel logo? Oh we did?
Oh all right, Little Debbie's Star Crunch. Star Crunch was
very good as an adult. You know what that is?
Little Debbie Stock Crunch. I've never had one.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
The rice crispies with the chocolate, Oh all right, kind
of like the snackcake version of a Nesle's crunch bar.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Interesting.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
One of my favorites was the cupcakes that you guys
were talking about, but they had gold cake with chocolate
or the top. Can't find him much anymore, so my
go to mouth now is Nutty Buddies.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yell I remember that. I remember the cakes? Yeah? How
about the Yankee doodle? Remember that? You remember that was
kind of like the answer to the Hostess cupcake, but
it didn't have the icing on it, so it was
just it was like a devil dog in a different shape,
wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah? Yeah, the dryness factor.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Drake's funny bones are the best, especially frozen, frozen funny bones.
I can't see.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Here, I don't I'm shocked by this. I did not
have this on my bingo card. It's definitely number one,
but frozen. No, thank you?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Are you okay? Pelosi? I'm surviving. It's a little it's
a little heavy, getting dense. That's what Tyler should have
done a Jerry dude. He just put a devil dog
in his mouth and try to talk.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
They're definitely not your T shirt, So feel free to
talk back. Go to the iHeart Radio app now and
leave it talk back and be sure to make w
CLX your number one.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Pre said too.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
He's a Chuck Nolan morning show on Boston's Classic Rock
seven w CLX.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Goodbye. Over the weekend, I dodged a trip to big
In to New York to see my father. Oh because
the ryder Cup and he didn't want to be disturbed
because he wanted to just watch that. It wasn't that
a kick of the pants, So he jinxed you. He
jinks all of us when I go there for the visits.
I mean, the main thing we do at the man's
eighty five years old, all right, So it's watching sports

(24:39):
on TV at a very very high volume, extremely and
occasionally glancing over at the lazy boy recliner and seeing
that he's he's passed out once again. He's just oh,
making old fashions and a goldfish bowl. Yes, So even
though he has the volume up so high, he puts
the subtitles on during the sporting of and during a

(25:00):
sporting event, they moved them around the screen. It's so annoying.
It's so annoying. But he has to have it on
because I guess he's missing part of the dialogue of
what they're saying, which I don't understand. The volumes turned
up to eleven. Oh my god, it's insane. But apparently
a lot of people are doing this, and not just
the elderly tyler. I was telling you about Black Rabbit

(25:21):
on Netflix. It was just a great series with justin
batesh I binge the whole show again. You did all
of it, tremendous show. Yeah, it's only like five episodes. No,
it's eight. It's eight eight episodes limited series. That's it,
and it is off the charts. Good. You said you
were up till like three o'clock in the morning Friday night.
I stepped till three in the morning watching. Keep in mind,
I get up at three three in the morning to
do this job. Yes, so I was up for pretty

(25:43):
much twenty four hours nap on Friday. Yeah, and I
just stayed up exactly. I kind of felt that way
when I woke up Saturday morning. I was like, wait,
am I am? I inert like as well? Yeah, okay, anyway,
but yeah, the subtitles were on. You had them on.
Yeah for that. It's hearings. You've hear me all the time.
It's terrible. You say what so many times? Say that again? Yeah?

(26:04):
What constantly? That's all you're hearing. You're just not paying
attention to it. No, No, And you're multi tay. I
know you're on your on your laptop at home, you
get your dog doing one thing, you get your answer
around your ankles. You're on your lap, you're watching TV.
But you're a relatively young man. This should not be happening, dude.
It's years of this, wearing headphones with music blasting in
my headphones, concerts, just loud music and concerts and headphones.

(26:27):
It's just it's done. It's done damage to my ears.
So but it gets worse sometimes when I'm like, I
watched Adolescents. Yeah, well you got heavy British accent, so
I can't hear and I can't understand the words they're saying.
I'm like, I read the whole show. My wife really
got into Peaky Blinders and I watched a little bit
of it, but she had to have the subtitles on,

(26:48):
and I totally understood that because that is such a
harsh English accent that they use it. That's how it started.
I bet that was the gateway drug Peaky Blinders. And
then everybody went completely using the captions because yeah, but
so many people, young people, are you using the subtitle
turn it off all the time because the TV's defaulted
to subtitle? Yeah, because they're multitests there on the phone,

(27:10):
or you're doing something else and you just want to
glance up and kind of and if you listen, if
you listen to stuff like movies and TV produced thirty
years ago and play it now, like if I get
technical and geeky, it doesn't sound as good. They're not
mixed as well, like the audio, the verb, the vocals
aren't as clear, So you need subtitles if you're In
some cases, I thought it was a production. I miss

(27:31):
lines and I gotta go back, like what was that?
But they just kind of mumble their way against very
bad mix music in the background too loud. It's crazy,
Well what you just said. That happens all the time
when I cause I'm not gonna lie, I try to
watch things without subtitles, and I just give up after
first five minutes. I'm like, because I have to keep
rewinding away what do they say? I don't want to
miss anything they say because it could be a key

(27:51):
piece to the story. So now I'm just like, well,
screw it, I'll just put the subtitles on. It sucks
because you can't watch it as much as you want to,
destroying the medium movie read while you're watching, well not cool.
The only case you should be watching the subtitles is
you should watch squid Game in the original Korean form,
because that is awesome. Say, he watches a lot of
foreign film. Yeah, you know me. You you didn't. You

(28:14):
never watch squid Game. I haven't watched the screen so good.
I know. I know shows. Man, you can't watch the translation.
It's horrible acting. You have to listen to the original
actors and read the subtitles. See that's hard for me anyway, though,
Like watching a great Oh watch this great move right
foreign movie. Okay, and it's in the original language. Yeah,
and I'm trying to catch up and read, and I'm
looking up and looking down. I'm up, I'm down, I'm up,

(28:35):
I'm down. It's true. Yeah, that that's what happens to me.
I don't have a choice. But see, I'm not multitasking.
I'm not looking at my phone or laptop, none of that.
Like when I'm watching something, I'm watching it. I just
have to have the subtitles because I can't hear from corst.
Oh my god, you were like glasses on the end
of his nose. So a year and a half, two
years away from haven't have a light on your phone,
so you know, it's rainy. One of those chairs that
stands you up when you've done watching TVM. Sorry, I'm

(28:57):
getting a call from the nursing home right now. I
got to take this for Jello. It's amazing already because
of the hearing what.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
The Chuck Nolan Morning Show gets around. Take it with you.
Listen on the iHeart Radio app even when you're not
in the car, and make your number one pre set
w z.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
LX Boston's classic rock.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
We just played Lunatic Fringe from the movie Vision Quest.
Great movie. We got into a discussion here about how
often do you watch vision Quest? Once a year? That
doesn't make any sense to me. Once a year, Yeah,
I couldn't sit through it. Oh, it's one of the
best coming of its the Matthew Modine wrestling movie. Yeah,
Linda Fiorentino made a man on him. I'm age you're
of age. I hate to tell you this is of

(29:39):
age a long time. Yeah, but this movie came out
when I was in high school. It meant to be.
It was a big deal, right, I understand that, But
it doesn't stand the test of times. It's gonna look
so dated for me. For me, it stands the test
of time that you can watch it over and over. Yeah,
once a year. I watched that one like right soundtrack too.
It does have a good sound Yeah, only the Young

(29:59):
from Journey. I always liked that song. Yeah, great, So
we played it during Kenny's basement. Are he's going to
convince you to watch it? No, I'm not gonna watch it.
It's a great movie. Shoot, are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (30:09):
The guy?

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Though? Did the antagonist wrestler? You get stop the villain?
Do you watch Roadhouse every time that comes on? You know?
I don't. But that is another guilty pleasure. See, I
think it's different from me. Roadhouse is a guilty pleasure.
Vision quest is not. It's Vision Questions just a good movie.
He has terrible taste of movies. It's different from him. God,
I haven't seen Vision Question in so long, and I
wouldn't go out of my way to watch that. Well,

(30:31):
that's you, I do me? You do you? Would you
watch Weird Science?

Speaker 5 (30:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I never really like that. It's got a great storyline
with Kelly LeBrock. She was hot. I would watch it
for watching Vision Question from a Donnie. I watch it
for the story. But Donna had a cameo in it.
She wasn't like a real character in the movie. I
mean from the eighties. I would watch Caddy Shack. Yeah,
all right, You wouldn't watch like Breakfast Club as an
all timer? No, why not? Because it's not like that anymore.

(30:57):
So much has changed since then. Okay, so will you
watch The Godfather? Because that was different, It was a
different time. That's a period piece, though, so is this
it's from the eighties. Yeah, but it's supposed to be
about the eighties though it really is. Actually it's kids,
kids in high school in the nineteen eighties. He's gonna
get upset now, I can see it now, I'm getting

(31:18):
west though, of all movies visions great. It's a great
movie with a tremendous soundtrack. No, yeah, I just I
think Matthew Modan might even disagree. Do you think he
watches it? He doesn't want to watch that anymore? He's
my god, look what I did. It's a great movie.
He loves that. He's getting those residual checks from you, though, Tyler, Yeah,
somebody's gotta watch it.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
Just when you think this show is terrible, something wonderful happens.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
What it is? Well, a lot of things of the
Baby that they are all great? Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Some people are over compensating with their horn.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Do you want to talk about it on the air?
You want to talk about it off there? Do you
want to go yell at boss.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
And let's move on the Chuck Nolan Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
There will be no on course. Well, Danielle, I can't
tell you how great it is to.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Have you back. O. Thanks, It's nice to be home
in ten in this.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Cold letter, Yes, you came back from eighty five degree
weather for this I did. This is bone chilling pole
I did.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
I went from putting very little clothing on and having
to apply a lot of sunscreen to having to put
a lot of clothing on and having to lather myself
in moisturizer because my skin is already cracking.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I think this was Mother Nature's way of saying, you're
never allowed to leave again. Oh nice tray guy. More
highlights from twenty twenty five will rock them Tomorrow morning.
