(03:09):
just very loose at the moment fiveo'clock is called I don't know man.
Yeah, I don't know man.So like that can go a lot of
different ways, and so I wouldencourage people on the on the iHeartRadio app,
if you're listening, use the talkbackmicrophone to guide us through I don't
know man, because I don't knowman. Could be you say something and
(03:32):
then I don't know man, orit could be I don't know man.
But and then an opinion. Itcan go a lot of ways, but
I don't know, man, uhhuh. I mean the way I see
it is like if you're sitting therein your car, in your car your
car, or at your desk andyou just said no at your desk and
(03:53):
you just sing to yourself, Idon't know, man, what comes next?
Yes? What do you know?Man? What makes you just say
shake your head and say, Idon't know. Man. It's like,
you know what it might be thisweek. For a lot of people,
it might be taxes. That's whyyou gotta have It's right. Today is
the big day. You gotta havea guy. I fought against the having
(04:16):
a guy thing until last year.That's the first time I had a guy
mm hmmm, because I was payingmoney to people I don't know, h
and R butt or whatever, andit's like, yeah, I give us
a few hundred bucks and then allyou have to do is click next and
filling stuff and click next, andthen I hit next and I hit yeay
done, and it was like rejected, and I'm like, well, I
did everything I know how to do. I can't what else am I gonna
(04:38):
do? I paid for your software, You're gonna go get a guy.
That's what you do. So Iwent to get a guy and the guy

by the way, write that downtoo. But if we're gonna do,
I don't know, man, geta guy, we gotta do. I
got a guy. I got aguy. I do like the idea of
a segment called I Got a guy. Oh what if we older guys?
(05:00):
Because I got a lot of guys. I do too. I got guys.
I bet you both do. Ihave an offshoot of what I used
to call the Nerd Network because Ilike to surround myself with nerds for everything.
I just got my thumb stuck inmy key ring because I know they're
going to be serious about it.Surrounding yourself with guys like that, Yeah,
(05:26):
you didn't need a guy to getyou out of there. You have
a guy for that. You havethe what are the jaws of life?
I don't have a jaws of life. I bet I got a fireman.
If I need a fireman, Idon't have his number, but I could
get it. But I like havingnerds because I know nerds are going to
be serious about stuff. Lords offirefied. They're going to do about it.

us? Yeah, oh I'm not. It's gonna be a wild one.
We all came in a little loopy. Yeah, it's gonna be a wild
one. When Julie texted earlier,it was just like, I was thinking
about this segment. I don't know, man. I was like, I
think that is an amazing idea thatsaid, And I was like, but
(06:32):
then, what we can't just say, Oh no, man, we have
the concept, we have no needto execute. Yeah, no, this
makes something sense. I explained it. You're still confused. I don't no,
man. So we will go aroundthe horn at five o'clock with our
(06:53):
I don't know man's right, andfrom now until five o'clock people will send
in talkbacks with their I don't knowman's yeah, and we'll play them Scrooby
will put it all together. Butwhat is the I don't know. It's
whatever they decide. I don't know, man, Like it's just something that
you need to maybe vent about withyour friends on the radio. Yeah,
(07:14):
something you're not sure of. Somethingyou're not sure of. I don't know,
man, like the Rangers right now. Gosh, I don't even know.
Like that's an example. Man,it's tax day and I don't know
how to do my taxes. Likethat's a good I don't know, man,
I don't know. Man. Doesthat make a little bit more sense?
Joe, No, I understand,Yeah, I understand. I just
(07:34):
don't know if it's gonna be it'sgonna be loose, Yeah, a loose.
Loose segments sometimes make you uncomfortable,but ye loose. We need you
to do talkbacks on this. Weneed to know what you don't know,
man, Yeah, yeah, what'syour I don't know, man, everyone's
got one, Yeah, sure theydo. It's not normal if you don't.
(07:59):
It's a safe space here. Youdon't have to pretend like you know
everything. Yeah, but I thinkmy whole show is usually I don't know,
man, Just pick one. Justask people things like text it two
one, four, seven, eightseven, one nine seven one. What's
going on? Yeah, because Idon't know. Man, I don't know.
Man. Are you gonna tell usabout your weekend? Ever? Oh?
(08:22):
I can tell you about my weekendat some point. Okay, I
think you should. I officiated myseister's wedding. Oh it was scary,
that's so huge. I was afraid. I saw my dad cry. Oh,
he doesn't cry because you were sobad at it. Yes, he
was so disappointed to make you breakwhen you saw your dad crying. No,
(08:43):
it's okay. I don't have emotions. Yeah, yeah, I don't
know, man, you know emotions. I don't know, man, Yeah,
I don't know. We'll find timeyou ever, I don't Yeah,
I want to hear about it.I don't know, man, I don't
know. What's on what's on MYXmind? Day? What on will I
(09:11):
have to say and say it andlet Mike ride away? What's on mine
to day? Mike's mind is fueledby Celsius Essential Energy drinks. Yes,
it is all right. Last nightI tried to make a mental note to
(09:37):
do this, but mental notes usuallydon't work out very well for me these
days. Oh my god, that'swhat I don't know, man, how
did you remember stuff? Yeah?I used to, but I don't anymore.
But I wanted to make a mentalnote to just blow by what CBS
(09:58):
had up their sleep. I thoughtit was an idea that had a chance
to work, but I didn't knowif it would or not. And what
they were going to do is theywere going to broadcast live to the nation
(10:20):
a live Billy Joel concert from MadisonSquare Garden. Now, if you don't
if you don't know this, BillyJoel plays Madison Square Garden once a month.
What. Yeah, he plays MadisonSquare Garden once a month. And
he's been doing this for uh gosh, I don't know how long for sure,
(10:43):
but several years. I mean,he is such an ingrained part of
New York. And that's one ofthe things I've always really liked about Billy
Joel because I'm meeting up with NewYork. You're a weird guy, man.
I know you're a weird Texan.I know, because like you're real
Texan. But boy, you lovethe Boston Globe and New York. Yes,
(11:05):
I do. You just likes admiringthe East Coast from afar, Okay,
I do admire the East coast fromAfar. I don't know if I
could hack it up there, orI don't know if i'd like it up
there hack it yeah, Yeah,I mean I mean like there's well the
zombies or no. They just mightbe of such a firm fiber that I
(11:28):
would go up there and just couldn'tstand it, you know. Yeah.
I think they're too abrasive and walktoo fast and a little bit too rude
for you. Yeah, because it'scold and they're poor. Yeah, you
just move at your own speed.You have the perfect speed of life.
Yeah. Down here, it's allI know, you know. Yeah,
But up there they love them someBilly Joel, and there's nothing wrong with
(11:52):
that because I love me some BillyJoel too. Cash Siroy is the only
guy I know who loves Billy Joelmore than me. Okay. And their
big idea was to televise his gigfrom Madison Square Garden. Now, I've
never heard of anybody doing this foranybody, especially not on network television.
(12:15):
Yeah, just you know, broadcastingan entire live concert for somebody as it
happens. But they did it.And he has more than one song.
Oh, he's got tons of them. All right, they did it and
it was awesome. They pulled itoff great, They had great camera work,
(12:43):
It sounded great on TV, andit was I don't know. I
guess it wasn't exactly like being there, but it wasn't a whole big leap
from it because you got to seethe show as it can aim down and
it was just extraordinary. He's tryingto be like Taylor Swift, huh to
(13:07):
have his concerts on TV. Idon't know if Taylor Swift was the driving
force behind this, but no one'sever been recorded in video doing music canuntil
Taylor. Well, hers is awhole business move power play Disney plus thing.
After being in the theaters, thisis just like a live concert being
(13:28):
broadcast on network television. Yeah,which is pretty awesome. So he didn't
cuss. Nope, didn't cuss,you know. I mean usually he wraps
up his shows with by telling yougood night, Dallas, this is my
d don't take any s from anybody. Oh. Oh, that explains what
(13:50):
were usually his last words. Igot out of there in front of it.
Now did he do that last night? Did he? I guess we'll
never know. Oh, because hisconcert this wonderful production that was going along
so incredibly swimmingly. No matter whatyou might think of Billy Joel, you
(14:15):
had to admire the gumption of CBSto attempt this and the way they pulled
it off. It was just goingfantastic until somebody decided that when it was
time to go, it was timeto go. So he is up there,
he's singing Piano Man, which formany people was Billy Joel's first big
(14:41):
hit that he really grabbed the masseswith. That's the one I know,
this is the one, you know, that's the one. I know.
We didn't start the fire. Yeah, I know that song too well.
He was up there doing Piano Manand everybody is watching it and he breaks
into want to believe the next lastverse, and it was going along fine
(15:05):
until all of a sudden it wasnot I want to hear it. Yeah,
yes, let's hear it live fromCBS for this Oh no, okay
(15:31):
finished the lyric It's a trivia gameman. Even in the quick little SoundBite,
it had me really jamming out yes, feeling the music. Yes,
and it just stopped. It wasgoing that way all night. I mean,
the band is awesome like always,and Billy Joel's probably I don't know.
I don't know how old he is, but we're roughly the same age.
(15:52):
I think seventy four. Okay,he's gotten me by a year.
And man, he is in justfine, fine federally. He's always been
an incredible piano player. He wastwenty four when he did piano man.
Yeah, geez, musicians are sogood so singing that song. He's been
singing that song for fifty years.Wow. And I'm seeing reports that the
(16:15):
concert was actually on Thursday. Sothis was pre recorded last night. Oh
it was apparently they couldn't time up. Pre recorded last night. You got
to hit that network stuff man inthe whole country because it happened everywhere.
God, I thought we were doingit live last night. That didn't make
it any less delectable. Oh Ithink that makes it worse that what happened
(16:37):
on TV. Yeah, it does. If you know exactly how long what
you're playing is and you still leftit up. Somebody at National in control
of time in the stuff position gotfired. Someone is fired. Well,
now that's brought to mind for everybody. The Heidie game. You know what
(17:02):
the Heidie game is. I cannever remember the details, but I am
familiar with the what happened. Yes, this was November seventeenth, nineteen sixty
eight. NBC was showing us afootball game between the New York Jets and
(17:26):
the Oakland Raiders, and this wasa late season game. It was a
game that mattered because both teams weregood, and both teams were, you
know, in playoff contention. Andin fact, I believe that this might
(17:47):
have been the year that that nameof won the Super Bowl. Uh,
this is a nineteen sixty eight game, so the Super Bowl would have been
in January of sixty nine. Idon't know, it might have been.
I don't know. Anyway, Idon't know, man, I get to
the bottom of Yes, Yeah,January sixty nine was Super Bowl three,
(18:07):
which is the name of game.Yes, Well, the Jets were up
thirty two to twenty nine, gotthem. It was late in the game.
But the real clock that they werewatching it NBC was the real clock
because at seven o'clock they had somethingthat they had to show and they were
(18:30):
going to have to get out ofthere, and as they did, they're
watching the game. The Raiders scoredtwo touchdowns in the game's last forty two
seconds, but nobody knew about that, because at seven o'clock, straight up,
(18:52):
they broke away and went to Heidi. Heidi, the children's tea classic
featuring the acts of a little girlfrom Switzerland. She lives with her grandpa
in the Alps. Yes she did. Oh so from Joe Namath to that,
(19:18):
I love it. Other people areso mad, oh oh. Supposedly
the NBC switchboard just absolutely was obliterated. I mean, look, if Heidie
starts at seven, Heidi starts atseven, Yeah, that's right. And
if you're playing football at seven,too bad. Get your sports game on
(19:40):
time. We got a lot morepeople that are worried about Heidi than worried
about your football game. Is Heidia good movie? Should we all watch
Heidi? We should all review ittomorrow. Yeah, watch Heidi and finish
piano. Man, I want tohear the end of the song. Be
a good way for us to makeup for it by going home tonight watching
(20:03):
Heidi, which I will not do. Oh I will, you won't I
could. Are you going to bringa Heidi review tomorrow to us maybe and
watching it? Yes? Are yougoing to celebrate by going to a water
park? I'm gonna listen to pianomaybe tonight if you watch Hidi. That's
(20:25):
not a fair trade. How long'sHeidi? Let me check Heid? At
least a couple hours run, Jeff, I bet you couldn't make it twenty
minutes, one hour and fifty oneminutes. Let me look at the cover
coming wrong about Him definitely looks likeit's for kids, about a little girl.
It is lives with her grandfather,the Swiss girl Alps. All right,
(20:45):
I'll let you know tomorrow. IfI made it twenty minutes onto hide,
I will start it. It's thebeauty of TV these days is somehow
Amazon Prime has the rights to literallyeverything. You just had to get like
five bucks to watch it. It'sso I'll check out Heidi, and I'll
let you know if it's better thanfootball. I don't think you'll make it.
(21:07):
Fifteen minutes, fifteen for you,twenty for you grooms, you are
undercut. Fifteen. I don't eventhink you're gonna make it. Eight you're
gonna try or not? Yeah,I finished. I finished the show I
was watching yesterday, So I'm good. Okay, I'm all free. Okay,
Well, maybe it'll grab your attention, so I guess I'll stick with
my twenty I don't know, butmaybe maybe text in your I don't know
(21:32):
man's thanks. Well, just forthe record, the Raiders won that game
forty three to thirty two, butnobody saw. Good job Raiders. All
right, coming up next, it'stime to get to the sports desk here.
Let's uh, let's keep it moving. Julie, where are we headed?

zombies or no. They just mightbe of such a firm fiber that I
(11:28):
would go up there and just couldn'tstand it, you know. Yeah.
I think they're too abrasive and walktoo fast and a little bit too rude
for you. Yeah, because it'scold and they're poor. Yeah, you
just move at your own speed.You have the perfect speed of life.
Yeah. Down here, it's allI know, you know. Yeah,
But up there they love them someBilly Joel, and there's nothing wrong with
(11:52):
that because I love me some BillyJoel too. Cash Siroy is the only
guy I know who loves Billy Joelmore than me. Okay. And their
big idea was to televise his gigfrom Madison Square Garden. Now, I've
never heard of anybody doing this foranybody, especially not on network television.
(12:15):
Yeah, just you know, broadcastingan entire live concert for somebody as it
happens. But they did it.And he has more than one song.
Oh, he's got tons of them. All right, they did it and
it was awesome. They pulled itoff great, They had great camera work,
(12:43):
It sounded great on TV, andit was I don't know. I
guess it wasn't exactly like being there, but it wasn't a whole big leap
from it because you got to seethe show as it can aim down and
it was just extraordinary. He's tryingto be like Taylor Swift, huh to
(13:07):
have his concerts on TV. Idon't know if Taylor Swift was the driving
force behind this, but no one'sever been recorded in video doing music canuntil
Taylor. Well, hers is awhole business move power play Disney plus thing.
After being in the theaters, thisis just like a live concert being
(13:28):
broadcast on network television. Yeah,which is pretty awesome. So he didn't
cuss. Nope, didn't cuss,you know. I mean usually he wraps
up his shows with by telling yougood night, Dallas, this is my
d don't take any s from anybody. Oh. Oh, that explains what
(13:50):
were usually his last words. Igot out of there in front of it.
Now did he do that last night? Did he? I guess we'll
never know. Oh, because hisconcert this wonderful production that was going along
so incredibly swimmingly. No matter whatyou might think of Billy Joel, you
(14:15):
had to admire the gumption of CBSto attempt this and the way they pulled
it off. It was just goingfantastic until somebody decided that when it was
time to go, it was timeto go. So he is up there,
he's singing Piano Man, which formany people was Billy Joel's first big
(14:41):
hit that he really grabbed the masseswith. That's the one I know,
this is the one, you know, that's the one. I know.
We didn't start the fire. Yeah, I know that song too well.
He was up there doing Piano Manand everybody is watching it and he breaks
into want to believe the next lastverse, and it was going along fine
(15:05):
until all of a sudden it wasnot I want to hear it. Yeah,
yes, let's hear it live fromCBS for this Oh no, okay
(15:31):
finished the lyric It's a trivia gameman. Even in the quick little SoundBite,
it had me really jamming out yes, feeling the music. Yes,
and it just stopped. It wasgoing that way all night. I mean,
the band is awesome like always,and Billy Joel's probably I don't know.
I don't know how old he is, but we're roughly the same age.
(15:52):
I think seventy four. Okay,he's gotten me by a year.
And man, he is in justfine, fine federally. He's always been
an incredible piano player. He wastwenty four when he did piano man.
Yeah, geez, musicians are sogood so singing that song. He's been
singing that song for fifty years.Wow. And I'm seeing reports that the
(16:15):
concert was actually on Thursday. Sothis was pre recorded last night. Oh
it was apparently they couldn't time up. Pre recorded last night. You got
to hit that network stuff man inthe whole country because it happened everywhere.
God, I thought we were doingit live last night. That didn't make
it any less delectable. Oh Ithink that makes it worse that what happened
(16:37):
on TV. Yeah, it does. If you know exactly how long what
you're playing is and you still leftit up. Somebody at National in control
of time in the stuff position gotfired. Someone is fired. Well,
now that's brought to mind for everybody. The Heidie game. You know what
(17:02):
the Heidie game is. I cannever remember the details, but I am
familiar with the what happened. Yes, this was November seventeenth, nineteen sixty
eight. NBC was showing us afootball game between the New York Jets and
(17:26):
the Oakland Raiders, and this wasa late season game. It was a
game that mattered because both teams weregood, and both teams were, you
know, in playoff contention. Andin fact, I believe that this might
(17:47):
have been the year that that nameof won the Super Bowl. Uh,
this is a nineteen sixty eight game, so the Super Bowl would have been
in January of sixty nine. Idon't know, it might have been.
I don't know. Anyway, Idon't know, man, I get to
the bottom of Yes, Yeah,January sixty nine was Super Bowl three,
(18:07):
which is the name of game.Yes, Well, the Jets were up
thirty two to twenty nine, gotthem. It was late in the game.
But the real clock that they werewatching it NBC was the real clock
because at seven o'clock they had somethingthat they had to show and they were
(18:30):
going to have to get out ofthere, and as they did, they're
watching the game. The Raiders scoredtwo touchdowns in the game's last forty two
seconds, but nobody knew about that, because at seven o'clock, straight up,
(18:52):
they broke away and went to Heidi. Heidi, the children's tea classic
featuring the acts of a little girlfrom Switzerland. She lives with her grandpa
in the Alps. Yes she did. Oh so from Joe Namath to that,
(19:18):
I love it. Other people areso mad, oh oh. Supposedly
the NBC switchboard just absolutely was obliterated. I mean, look, if Heidie
starts at seven, Heidi starts atseven, Yeah, that's right. And
if you're playing football at seven,too bad. Get your sports game on
(19:40):
time. We got a lot morepeople that are worried about Heidi than worried
about your football game. Is Heidia good movie? Should we all watch
Heidi? We should all review ittomorrow. Yeah, watch Heidi and finish
piano. Man, I want tohear the end of the song. Be
a good way for us to makeup for it by going home tonight watching
(20:03):
Heidi, which I will not do. Oh I will, you won't I
could. Are you going to bringa Heidi review tomorrow to us maybe and
watching it? Yes? Are yougoing to celebrate by going to a water
park? I'm gonna listen to pianomaybe tonight if you watch Hidi. That's
(20:25):
not a fair trade. How long'sHeidi? Let me check Heid? At
least a couple hours run, Jeff, I bet you couldn't make it twenty
minutes, one hour and fifty oneminutes. Let me look at the cover
coming wrong about Him definitely looks likeit's for kids, about a little girl.
It is lives with her grandfather,the Swiss girl Alps. All right,
(20:45):
I'll let you know tomorrow. IfI made it twenty minutes onto hide,
I will start it. It's thebeauty of TV these days is somehow
Amazon Prime has the rights to literallyeverything. You just had to get like
five bucks to watch it. It'sso I'll check out Heidi, and I'll
let you know if it's better thanfootball. I don't think you'll make it.
(21:07):
Fifteen minutes, fifteen for you,twenty for you grooms, you are
undercut. Fifteen. I don't eventhink you're gonna make it. Eight you're
gonna try or not? Yeah,I finished. I finished the show I
was watching yesterday, So I'm good. Okay, I'm all free. Okay,
Well, maybe it'll grab your attention, so I guess I'll stick with
my twenty I don't know, butmaybe maybe text in your I don't know
(21:32):
man's thanks. Well, just forthe record, the Raiders won that game
forty three to thirty two, butnobody saw. Good job Raiders. All
right, coming up next, it'stime to get to the sports desk here.
Let's uh, let's keep it moving. Julie, where are we headed?
