(00:00):
To day is a great day.Why why is that it is Earth Day?
I mean, I love the Earth. Other Earth has provided all the
birthday all much better than Earth Day. Happy Earth Day, Protect Mother Earth
Day. Birthday. Birthday has beenaround since nineteen seventy last birthday ever.
Happy Earth Day everyone, I'm recycled. How about is a birthday? Entertainments

(00:20):
SHOWTI. In its earliest days,the major function of radio was news.
Going on here beautiful there? Everybodygo? Why don't you put on a
show and charge it? Mission?Okay, so I would say something with

(00:45):
music and comedy. Now you're talking, It'll be a show for everyone who
loves music and murder. Come on, Chuck, we got It's a show
to dude, showtime. Are youready? Happy Monday? Happy Earth Day?

(01:07):
Six o nine? Big Rock Morning'sJackson here and you were listening to
a DC's classic Rocket's Big one hundred. What are you gonna do to save
the planet today? Crash recycle mybatteries? All right, it's nice.
Hey. I completely spaced bringing thisup last week when you had said that
you threw away a battery and Isaid what kind of battery? Which probably

(01:27):
seemed like an odd question, andthen we got sidetracks, and I never
told you why I asked that question. Read a story years ago where a
guy burned his house down thrown awaya nine volt because the problem with a
nine volt is you've got both connectionsup on top of the battery. He

(01:49):
threw it in the trash can,and something metal in the trash can,
piece of tenfoil, something settled onboth of those and started a on the
positive a negative. You started tofire off. And so they, you
know, they talked to a bunchof people and they were like, if
you're gonna throw nine volts away,you should take a piece of like duct
tape and put it over the topof the terminals to stop this from happening.

(02:13):
And ever since then, I've beencompletely paranoid. I throwing nine volts
away. How we don't have recyclingbins for batteries. Everybody yells at you
when you throw a battery away.They do, don't theyste somewhere? I
don't know there's somewhere, but they'renot convenient. You have to take them
somewhere. I think it's I recyclebatteries over the weekend car battery Well,
I got ten bucks for it.I had an old car battery. I

(02:36):
was sitting out behind my house.I'm like, I should probably, I
should probably. I mean, thisis like I got my car up on
Jackson lawn chairs in the front yard. I should probably move this. It
is Philly. That's more a WestVirginia thing. I got a couch on
my porch, blood ham laying onthe steps. No. I hit this

(02:59):
battery, and every day I'd walkby and I really need to take and
it's one of those things you can'tjust throw it away. So I took
it to the auto store and Isaid, you guys still recycle these,
and they're like, hell yeah.I was about to walk out. He's
like wait, He's like, wegive you something for that, like sweet
ten bucks on a well that's ona gift card. What do they do
with them? I don't know.I don't know, send them, melt

(03:21):
them down, and I think theysend them somewhere to be. I think
with batteries they can recycle them.They you know, take out the bad
inerds and put in good innerds.For lack of a better way of describing
that. I think they replace thecells and then they can use them again.
So who knows. All I knowis they got ten bucks for it.

(03:43):
It's now send in my backyard anymore. And that's a good thing.
Let's see what have we got today. We're gonna do skinnered AND's easy top
tickets again. We got Jon Fogerto eat, Jiffy loub Live that's coming
up in June, big thanks toLive Nation. And the big word of
the week. Oh we got SammyHagar tickets. This is that tour where
they're playing Van Halen songs. Ilike it, so we'll have those to

(04:06):
give away at the end of theweek with the big Word of the week
first letter coming away. It's seventhirty this morning. Things I know,
sports on tap, Florida, Man, all that good stuff on the way.
It is Big one hundred, DC'sClassic Rockets, Big one hundred and
Phil Collins in the air that Isay. It's Jackson here, Big Rock
Morning, six twenty seven, andgood morning to you man. It feels

(04:27):
like flipping winter out there again thismorning. What the hell's going on?
We're creeping up on May and Iwalked out this morning was like, oh
crap, it's cold, very cold. It's like mid thirties. When I
left this morning, I do.I do notice it's getting a little bit
lighter on the drive in, whichkind of throws me for a loop because

(04:48):
the only I drive one direction,always in the dark, always right,
And then what starts to light up. You start to see different landmarks that
you're not used to see, andyou start to go, am, I
on the right, this is whereI turn right, because you know,
it just becomes autopilot, you know, pay attention. You just drive right,

(05:09):
which has burned me. I've beenI've been ten miles down the beltway
the wrong direction, you know,going uh. I think I missed an
exit, but that's me. I'mjust sit here on the beltway like it's
it's relatively dark, so you you'veonly driven this drive driving in. I've

(05:30):
only driven in in the dark.But it's starting to lighten up. And
when I got close to the stationthis morning, I was making a turn
that I've made god knows how manytimes, and I sat there and went
looked around. I saw like ahouse I'd never seen before, in a
tree I'd never seen before because it'dalways been so dark, and I was
like, wait a second, isthis the right turn? I don't confuse

(05:50):
me for a minute, but yeah, and I refuse. I refused to
turn the heat onto my car.I was like, it was just out
of principle. It's like, no, it is almost may I'm not turning
in. So I froze my assoff all it was driving in. I
kept looking down. I said itwas like thirty five degrees, thirty six
degrees, and I'm like, Nope, not doing it. I turn it

(06:13):
on because I think the last timeI ran it, I ran the AC
and I looked down. I waslike, oh, I'm gonna have to
change the temperature and I'm gonna haveto shut off the No. Not doing
it, I'll suffer. Helps wakeyou up, That's for sure that it
does helps wake you up. Idon't know if there are any boxing fans
out there. If there are,you know exactly what I'm talking about when

(06:35):
I say Garcia versus Haney over theweekend, Wow, and I want some
money. I want some money becauseGarcia was such an underdog, right Garcia
faced off against Hani, and Haniwas you know, he's he's WBC champ.

(06:58):
Anyway, Garcia couldn't fight for thebelt because he didn't make way ends
and if you follow him, mataffect it it's almost fun, even if
you're not a boxing fan to followRyangersia on Instagram. He's gone off the
deep end. That brother is crazy. He is absolutely nuts. And that
was the big thing coming into thefight is they were like, he's not

(07:19):
mentally prepared. He's losing his mind. He needs a psycho val he must
be on drugs. And like youstart following, You're like, yeah,
okay, all right, this dude, yeah he's yeah, he's losing it.
And so he just didn't have it. And then he didn't make weight,
and he got on the scale witha beer in his hand and drank

(07:41):
it. You know, it's justlike, I get it. A lot
of the stuff sells tickets, buthe's he was flirting with no, really,
that dude's mentally left upright, Sohe doesn't make weight. And he
had made a bet, which hehonored with any that if he didn't make
weight, he'd pay him five hundredthousand dollars per pound. He was three

(08:01):
pounds over, so he paid himon a on a handshake bet one point
five million dollars respect. I mean, but you should have made weight,
right, So he doesn't. Hedoesn't get a fight for the title.
Because he didn't make the weight,but they still fought. He goes into
the fight, this monstrous underdoges wasgonna get his ass well, but there

(08:22):
was something about it where I wasjust like, you know, you know.
So I jumped on the old sportsbedding up there, threw down a
few bucks, and thought, whatwhat the hell, I'm gonna vote on
Gercia to win. He flipping won. I woke I didn't. I've only
seen highlights. I'm gonna maybe goback and watch the whole fight. Only
seen highlights. Uh, well,it went to distance. I'm not sure

(08:46):
what it was, what it wassaying to that, I'm not sure what,
but it went to distance and hewon by decision. But in like
the seventh round he knocked HAINI donelike three times. The dude's got a
left jab that is just disgusting,fast, so fast. So yeah,
so I woke up, opened myapp and was like, whoa, what

(09:07):
the hell I'm up. I golook at the highlights of the fight.
Yeah, he did it. Hedid it, man, And again,
let me pull up his I thinkit's at King Ryan because even if you're
not a boxing fan, he's justone of those train wrecks. There he
is. He's just one of thosetrain wrecks you want to watch, you
know. It's like you can't helpbut stop and just go, Okay,

(09:30):
I don't want to watch this crazyperson. Yeah. It's at King Ryan
on Instagram. He's got like tenpoint five million followers. Oh cheez.
Now since the win, he's ateleven point two million followers now s So
yeah, it was Again, ifyou're a boxing fan, you know exactly
what I'm talking about. If not, then my advice is you want to

(09:52):
see somebody go crazy, follow him. It's kind of fun. All right.
It is six thirty two coming upthings I I know we'll get to
that. Just around the corner seventhirty this morning, we're gonna have the
first letter for the big word ofthe week, and quickly while we're on
sports. Of course, the Capsdropped one against the Rangers, Game one

(10:13):
against the Rangers. Next games tomorrownight, and despite all the hate,
Dennis gives him the Nats one again. I think they do it just despite
him really just trash talk as talksabout, oh, it's not a good
baseball team, they're terrible, andthey keep winning. They do, and

(10:35):
net he'll come in this morning andsay, well, it's Toadly in the
season. You'll see, you'll see, and he may be right. They're
winning. All right. We gottatake a break here. We're back to
in just a few It is sixthirty three. It's Big one hundred.
DC's classic Crocket. It is Bigone hundred. Hey, coming up here,
and just a bit. I wantto talk about this dude that's on.

(10:56):
My only regret is that I didn'tfind him until like day eighty into
his experiment. There's a guy onInstagram who decided he was going to eat
raw chicken every day for one hundreddays. He starts every video with day
eighty five of me eating raw chickenuntil I get a tummy egg. Some

(11:16):
sort of science project. He mightbe in college. He's doing something right,
right for science science. He's notsick. He hasn't gotten sick.
He's been. I think it's whetherhumans are equipped to. You know,
every other animal in the animal kingdomeats raw meat except for humans. Right.

(11:37):
We learned how to cook it overa fire living in a cave and
went, well, that tastes ahell of a lot better, and we've
done it ever since. But Ithink there was some debate on whether humans
are equipped to to I guess inthis day and age eat raw meat without
you know, constantly running the riskof getting very sick. He's eating rock

(12:01):
chicken every day and he posts itand he does some strange stuff with it.
He'll make tacos, but with rawchicken, it's it's nasty. Take
an evolution in the opposite direction,oh boy, oh boy, or maybe
just preparing for the future. Firegoes extinct and you never know, Russians

(12:24):
are working on some crazy weapons.Dude six it is uh, well,
anyway, we'll talk about him comingup and I'll turn you onto his account
just because you'll get a kick outof it. I think it's it's kind
of if you can get past thelike, oh nasty, dude, what
is he doing? He's he's gota really dry sense of humor, so

(12:46):
it's it's kind of funny, allright. It is time for things.
I know on a Monday morning.Oh boy, they say we should be
and this is true. You shouldfear Bambi more than jaws, because deer
are much more deadly to Americans everyyear, more deadly than sharks, more

(13:11):
deadly than alligators. More deadly thanbears, more deadly than venomous snakes,
matter of fact, more deadly thanall of those things combined, because they
have a tendency to run out infront of our cars. There were just
two deaths in the US by sharkattack in twenty twenty three, but each
year deer account for around fifty ninethousand human injuries and four hundred and forty

(13:35):
deaths. As I was digging intothat this morning, you know, there's
the golden rule. Don't swerve rightlike, if you see a deer,
just hit it. Don't swerve.That's where people die, because when you
swerve, you run the risk ofrunning off the road and actually hitting something
like a tree or rolling your car. You know, of course that's instinct.

(13:56):
You're gonna see it, and you'regonna swerve to They say, drill
it into your head. Don't swerve. Cars are built to take impact on
the front for crashes, and thatthe best thing you can do is just
go ahead and plow through that.Puppy. I hate dear. I like
them. They taste good. Itaste good. They taste good. The

(14:18):
longest border between any two countries isthe border between the United States, and
Canada. It runs fifty five hundredmiles actually fifty five twenty five, which
is about thirteen hundred miles longer thanany other border. Number two is Russia
Kazakhstan. By the way, Russia'sgoing, that won't be there very very

(14:39):
long. That border won't be therevery long. They'll be taking that next.
Converse All Stars are technically basketball shoes. We knew this, but no
one has worn them in the NBAsince Tree Rollins wore them for the Atlanta
Hawks back in nineteen eighty. Ialways find it fascinating to go back watch

(15:00):
old NBA video and see everybody wearingChucks. You see everybody wearing the Converse
Hall Stars. They have the worstsupport. I love Chucks. I wear
them all the flipping time. I'mwearing them now you're I love them,
and but they have they are notknown for support or no. It's got
to be the worst athletic shoe onthe face of the planet. But it

(15:24):
was huge. Man. Everybody worethem played basketball and Bob Ross was almost
as famous for his curly hair ashe was for his paintings. Uh but
uh it was all a lie.Before he got famous. He permed his
hair to save money on haircuts.Once it became his signature. Look,
he's stuck with it. Dude,was getting perms so much did cost?

(15:48):
You can do them at home forlike I remember my mother used to have
back when you know, in theeighties when perms were all the rage.
My mother's friends used to all shoot. My mother would perm everyonce in the
neighborhoos hair. She knew how todo it. People would come, Oh,
I think I got one when Iwas younger. Yeah, I got
one in high school. At onepoint I think I got one of them.
I was like, well, Iwasn't in high school. That's that's

(16:10):
what you're taking it to a homeI was in high school. No,
I think I was probably like twelveyears old and maybe eleven, and one
to my mom said I want aperm And she's like, sit down,
dude, let me tell you.The day you show up the home room
with a perm. Yeah, wellthat's the day your high school life ends.
That's on you, man. Yeah, why you would do that,

(16:30):
bring that on yourself. I don'tknow way you do that. Matter of
fact, if I did it,looked in the mirror and went because my
family, all of them my cousins, my brothers, they called me a
little orphan Annie. For like threemonths. I couldn't wait for her to
go away. Worst decision ever.But I think if I was in high

(16:51):
school and I looked in the mirrorand saw that, it'd be like,
yeah, we're going to shavedad tomorrow. YEP, that'll be less of an
issue than a perm. Finally,meat Loaf's album Bat out of Hell came
out in nineteen seventy seven, butyou know, still still sells approximately two
hundred thousand copies a year. That'samazing the good record since nineteen seventy seven,

(17:15):
still selling two hundred thousand copies ayear every year. Wow. And
if you're a Taylor Swift fan,of course you know it's quick. Since
we were talking about MELF, shereleased that double album. Was at the
end of last week. I thinkit was Friday night. Friday Night,
didn't I at least that double albumAnd it's got a little Kim Kardashian diss

(17:37):
on there. Like it. She'staking shots. They got a little beef
and she wrote a song taking shotsat her. I like, Taylor,
man, she's growing up. It'sgrowing up, all right. We will
take care some quick business. Here. It is six fifty four. You're
listening to Big one hundred DC's ClassicRocket. It's Big one hundred. There's
Van Halen and Chump Rest in peace. Dicky Betts passed away last week.

(18:03):
I told you Friday morning, Thursdaynight into Friday morning, I had this
crazy dream, long story short.I was at an Almond Brothers concert where
I ran into Lisa Berrigan sitting onthe lawn. Greg Almon was up on
stage, but he was by himself. Didn't think too much of it.
Dreams are weird. Why am Idreaming of the Almond Brothers. I mean,

(18:26):
I'm a fan, but why andwhy why was Greg Almond up on
the stage by himself? And thenI woke up and saw the news at
Dickey Betts passed away and was like, wow, that's kind of weird.
And then I was like, well, maybe it was Greg Allman and because
Dickie wasn't up there, and thenI was like, but Greg's dead too.
Didn't make any sense, but itwas weird dreaming about it. You

(18:51):
know, hours before reading the news. There had to be something that crossed
your crossed your senses that you didn'tdidn't process at the subconscious is this strange
thing or you're just straight up psychiclike you. Yeah, I'm not going
to tell you the dream I hadabout you last night. It's yeah,
I had about you. Yeah,you need to skip that lunch today.

(19:17):
So I had the stream You've gotfood poisoning, don't eat, don't eat
that lunch today or raw chicken,Yeah, raw chicken. Before we get
to that, I posted I'd spentI spent a lot of time over the
weekend just going back to the AlmondBrothers collection. I've been a huge fan
of the Almond Brothers for years andlisten to Live at Fillmore East, which

(19:40):
is probably one of my favorite liverecords ever. It's right up there with
Tom Petties Pack Up the Plantation Live. And was, you know, surfing
around the internet and came across alive version of Melissa live and acoustic version
of Melissa and this is when theband reform. It's like probably early nineties

(20:02):
because Warren Haynes is in here aswell, and now I'm playing in the
background there. Listen, Oh,such a great song, but towards the
end where Dicky Bets hits a soloon an acoustic guitar, and then Warren
Haynes joins in, Oh my god, it's so good. If your music

(20:25):
geek, it is so good.You got to check it out. I
posted it on our big one hundredFacebook page just moments ago, so you
can find it there. I'd playit for you, but I'm afraid that
one of the suits that the radiostation would go into cardiac arrest and I'd
have to take a day off togo to their funeral. And I just
can't be bothered. There's a guyon Instagram. Let's pull up the let's

(20:51):
pull up the actually actually just testedme, texted me and said, if
it's if you've got good audio,play it all right? Cool, Maybe
we'll play that for you coming up. We'll see. We'll listen to it.
Let's listen to it through speakers andmake sure it's good audio. And
I don't want to play something thatsounds like it's coming through a phone.
So there, I told you.My only regret is that I did not

(21:15):
find this guy sooner. But thegreat thing about Instagram is there's a history
here, right, so I cango back, and I did and watch
all the videos from day one upuntil the last video. He posted which
was yesterday, which would be dayday ninety four, and the Instagram handle

(21:37):
is at raw Chicken Experiment at rawChicken Experiment, and the guy is basically,
here's what it says in his bio, eating raw chicken every day until
I get a tummy ache. Thisis a science experiment. Future Nobel Prize
winner followed to see what happens.So I caught one of these and then

(22:03):
dove into it and was like,you know, because he gets I mean,
he drinks raw eggs. He'll throwa raw steak in every now and
then. I think the one heposted yesterday, he eats the raw chicken
and a piece of cowbrain and makesit into a sandwich. It's a raw
chicken breast Cowbrian sandwich, sourdough sandwichwith barbecue sauce. What he does he

(22:30):
does try to dress stuff up.Man. I watched him make like tacos.
I watched him take a tortilla,throw some cheese on the raw chicken,
a little bit of hot sauce,and he gives you his honest opinion.
He's like, yeah, I don'tthink I would do this one again.
But the crazy thing about it,so every video which By the way,
this dude has like five hundred thousandfollowers, almost half a million followers,

(22:55):
and every video gets like a threehundred thousand views. If you go
back to the beginning and you lookat his face in the first week of
videos he's posted, and then yougo to now, after ninety plus days
of eating raw chicken and raw eggs, the dude looks like he's glowing,

(23:18):
like he looks fifteen years younger.It's ridiculous. Maybe that's part of the
experiment. I don't know, orit could because he knows that he only
has a week left. But thebiggest thing you'll find it and as always
with any really good account, thecomments or where the action is. That's
where the fun takes place. Andthat's the biggest thing is people in there

(23:42):
going, oh my god, dude, it must be good for you because
you look like ten years younger.You look your skin is glowing. And
so I went back to the beginningand they went to today, and I'm
like, oh my god, they'reright. He's like, he looks so
much better. He's got sick whatI said he was at ninety four.

(24:06):
It's got six days last. Thebig thing is like Now people say,
well, what are you going todo. It's a hundred day experiment.
What are you going to do?Right? When you get to one hundred
days, what's the prize? Allright? If you didn't get sick,
then you know, whatever experiment you'redoing, you prove that you're not going
to get sick. Maybe you're healthier. Who knows, maybe you're not.
Maybe she gets some blood work.I don't know, but the general consensus

(24:27):
is he's done it all. Likehe'll typically eat the like chicken breast,
but occasionally he'll grab a whole chickenand just tear into it like a whole
raw chicken. He does steak thebrain. I mean, there's all sorts
of nasty stuff on here, andeverybody's like, the only way to conclude

(24:48):
this experiment is on day one hundred, day one hundred and one, you
have to eat a live chicken.And I'm kind of on board with this.
You gotta catch it, grab it, eat it. Oh, it's

(25:10):
right. Watch about ten of hisvideos and you'll either you gotta have a
strong stomach, I'll be honest withyou, right, but if you're good
with it, it is it isentertaining. Again, it's at raw chicken
experiment on Instagram. See I scourthe socials in the Internet for the crazy
stuff so that you don't have toand then I just pass it on.

(25:33):
That is a public service. Itis a public service. It is seven
seventeen, coming up your first letterfor the big word of the week and
your chance to win Sammy Hagar ticketsat the end of this week. And
we'll get to that in just afew It's big one hundred GC's class crock
is Big one hundred White Snake.I used to crank that on cassette.
Man, Yeah, driving around inmy car, my nineteen seventy Nova cranking

(25:57):
White Snake on cassette. Ah memories. If anyone ever have their mouth washed
out with soap, I think ifyou're of a certain age, the answer
to that is a resounding yes.I know. I had it done a
few times when I was a kid. It's not pleasant. I had it
threatened, but I don't think Iever actually had it done. Oh I

(26:18):
did a couple of times. Motherwould like rub that bar of soap on
your tongue and make you close yourmouth and sit there. Wouldn't let your
rents out, like sit there forGod, what felt like an eternity probably
is only like thirty seconds, andshe go, now go wash it out,
and that taste would stay in yourmouth for hours. What was the

(26:41):
worst kind of soap? I wantto say it was dove is what she
was using, But I suppose somethinglike Irish sprain. This would be brutal.
Dial A Pole asked people if they'veever had their parents follow through on
the washing their mouth out with soap, and twelve percent of people say yes.
I can't believe it's only twelve percent. Maybe a lot of kids just

(27:03):
got the hint and I was dumb, or our parents were full of empty
threats. Mine wasn't not yours.Most people have probably heard their parents say,
well, I'll watch your mouths orI'll wash it out with soap.
What movie Christmas story is it?Christmas Christmas Story where gets his mouth washed
out? So wife boy poll askedpeople if they ever had their mouths washed

(27:26):
out? So surprisingly, I say, only twelve percent. They didn't break
it down my age, Well,give me our heads up, hold on,
back up, Jesus Christ, I'mprepared. What's this from Christmas story?
Christmas story? All right? Overthe years, I got to be
quite a kind of syrup, somy personal preferences for lux but I found

(27:48):
palm olive had a nice peak homeafter dinner flavor hity, but with just
a touch of mellows smoothness. Smoothness. It's definitely an old schooling that's probably
not done anymore. There's a lotof stuff that's not done anymore. Kids
don't play on playgrounds like we usedto play on. Got helicopter parents now,

(28:12):
God, I mean think back tothink back to that that like stainless
steel. I'm sure that's not whatit was made of, but looked like
stainless steel. Slide on a blacktail, the one that would give you
a third degree burns in the summerwhen it was like one hundred degrees out
and you'd be wearing a pair ofshorts. That thing, my god,

(28:34):
it was terrible. Or the Merrygo Round the Oh my god. That
death wheel, Oh it was adeath wheel. It was just like hold
on for dear life, especially likewhen you were younger and a bunch of
little kids would get on there andone of the big kids would come over
and spin it for you. Ohman, Oh, Centrifugal force was not
a thing that took consideration. Yeah, if you didn't puke and you didn't

(29:00):
get thrown off onto the blacktop,it was a good day. Did you
ever fall on your head from monkeybars onto asphalt? Oh? Yeah,
I did, many, many times. Yeah, man, of course,
Like nowadays, they're soft. Man. They give them wood chips or something
under woodchips. And there's that thatlike rubber like padding. What is that
crap? Hours was built directly onasphalt? That crap? All right?

(29:26):
It is seven thirty seven, hey, coming up here in just a few
I am gonna dig up that AlmondBrothers song I was playing talking about playing
for you. It's an acoustic versionof Melissa. I just kind of ran
across this over the weekend after DickyBetts passed away last week. I believe
Dicky was eighty, you know,eighty. That's pretty decent life, right,

(29:48):
eighty years old. So Dicky passedaway last Thursday, late in the
day, I think it was.I didn't hear about it until Friday morning,
but I ran across this video ofan acoustic version of Lissa is when
the band reformed in like the earlynineties. Because Warren Haynes is in there
on guitar too, But towards theend of the song there's the solo with

(30:10):
Dicky Betts and then Warren Haynes joiningin and it is just flipping amazing.
So I'm gonna play that for you. You can also watch the video.
I posted it on our Big onehundred Facebook page. All right, seven
thirty eight, Time for the letterfor the big word of the week,
The big word of the week onBig one hundred. Today's letter is the
letter H. The letter h okayas in happy. The letter H is

(30:38):
in happy. All right. Atthe end of this week. That is
going to be good for Sammy Hagartickets. This is the tour where him
and Michael Anthony are going out andplaying Van Halen's songs, so that should
be cool. Jeffy lub Live onthe twentieth of July, Big thanks to
Live Nation for those tickets will havehim. At the end of this week,

(31:02):
As bon Jovi. Did you justhear that commercial for that Jovi thing they're
gonna air? I did? Where'sthat streaming again, Hululu or someplace?
I want to watch that? Ithink It's Gonna be good It Premiere's Friday.
No. I used to love those. It was a VH one that
did the behind the music crazy becausethey throw a band up because here's what
will happen. I'll watch that bonJovi thing and then I'll be like,

(31:25):
I didn't realize that was such ahuge bon Jovi fan. I'll listen to
him for like three months. Behindthe Music on VH one, they would
throw a band up that maybe youwere you know, you knew of them,
and you listen to a couple othersongs, and by the time you
were done watching behind the Music,you were like a fan. Yep.
Like they can make anybody look cool. They did one on like Rick Astley

(31:48):
and I'm like, Rick Asthley's badassman. You ever seen that video as
somebody did video where they played RickAstley for just black Americans and they didn't
oh yeah, I've seen it,didn't know he was white, and they
were like, they tell him he'sbecause Rick Katsley's got that voice. And

(32:10):
they're like, uh no, thatdead. It is not a white dude
it is. They're like, noway, it's fantastic, Like the whitest
dude ever Oh, he totally thewhitest dude. He's a ginger too,
whitest dude ever, but that voicecoming out of him is just weird.
Uh. But yeah, I'll bea Rick Astley fan if he's on Behind

(32:34):
the Music. All Right, we'regonna play Almond Brothers tune here for you.
This Dicky Bats passed away last weekand I stumbled across this over the
weekend and it's an acoustic version ofMelissa, which is probably no It is
my all time favorite Almond Brothers song, might be my all time favorite song
period. I just absolutely love thissong. And this was in the early

(32:59):
nineties. Because I see and Iposted the video up on a Big one
hundreds facebook page if you want totake a peek at it, because they
see Warren Haynes in here. BecauseI'm trying to figure out which show this
was from. I have to diga little deeper to find out. But
the acoustic solo with Dickey Betts towardsthe end is just flipping amazing. Give
it a listen. It's Melissa andit's on DC's Classic Rocket's Big one hundred,

(33:22):
DC's Classic Rockets Big one hundred Liveversion of the Omen Brothers Band and
Melissa. That was taken from theI can't figure out which city, but
it was taken from the ninety oneninety two tour Warren Haynes on guitar as
well. Fantastic version. Man,it's really really good. So the Rangers
beats Caps forty one on Sunday,Game one of the first round playoffs series.

(33:44):
Game two is tomorrow night, TuesdayNight. We were talking about this
earlier. The Nationals have won threeout of their past four series after starting
the season two and six. Denniskeeps saying they suck, but lets keep
winning. I think they're just tryingto prove him wrong. That's what it's
coming down to. And you gottabe Kidney, it's flipping Draft week like

(34:08):
that just creeped up on us.Every time I would talk about the draft,
I'm like, ah, so fardown the road Thursday, Round one,
and it seemed like it took foreverfour to get here, and then
suddenly it was right here. Soobviously, the Commanders have the second pick
in the NFL Draft, and theprevious regime passed on taking a quarterback the
last time they were up that highin favor of a pass Rusher and Chase

(34:31):
Young. How'd that work out?Did not work out? And they are
back at number two now with obviouslydifferent people in charge and a pretty big
decision to make, And everybody's expectingChicago to take Caleb Williams with the first
picked. I think we're almost certainthey're going to take him with the first

(34:52):
pick. I mean, you neverknow, you never know, they might
mix it up, who knows,but that's kind of the general consensus,
and the commander is expected to draftthe quarterback of the future Thursday night.
Jayden Daniels seems to be the topprospect, at least that's what people are

(35:12):
saying. But you also have toput Drake May and j. J.
McCarthy into the mix. But let'sjust hope they finally find a solution.
It's one of the most important positionson the field. Huh. I think
it's Jayden Daniels, but again,you never know until it goes down.
It wouldn't surprise me if they grabbedDrake May. It wouldn't surprise me if
they grab McCarthy. Wouldn't surprise meif the Bears took Jaden Daniels and said,

(35:37):
you know, and then that wouldleave Caleb still on the board.
Caleb Williams, gonna be interesting,Gonna be interesting, all right to the
seven point fifty nine Dennis. We'llchat with him in more detail about the
upcoming draft and sports in general.Just before nine o'clock, Sports on tap.
Also Florida Man coming up at eightthirty this morning, and we're gonna

Mary J. Blige, Share,Dave Matthews, Van Forigner, Peter Frampton,
and Ozzie. There's Ozzy there heis. He doesn't care. He
didn't give two craps. There heis. He used to always say,
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's garbage. It's not voted on by the fans,
so I don't care. I'm kindof with them. On that right

(36:45):
popularity contest here the Rock Hall ofFame. I mean, it's still cool,
but I often question why and whenand who they they put in.
But Mary J. Blige, DaveMatthew's band Foreigner. I heard somebody this
morning. Got where was it?I forget it was on TV? Maybe

(37:09):
it was news. They were talkingabout Foreigner getting into the Rock Hall of
Fame and they were playing Foreigner,but they were playing it with the with
the new lead singer. They're playinglike a cut with this new lead singer.
What's his name? What's his name? Kelly Kelly? His name's just
Kelly. But he's like like Madonna? What is he like? Cher?

(37:30):
Who are you? Kelly? It'slike me Jackson Ash, Peter Frampton.
That totally makes sense, Ozzie,totally makes sense. The Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame Class of twenty twentyfour was announced last night on American IDOL,
and there are sixteen inductees. Solet's see which ones am I missing?

like that Dion Warwick, who elsewas nominated this year that didn't make it.

Lenny Kravitz was nominated but did not. I feel like it's a little
early for Kravitz. Maybe not timeflies. Man. You don't realize some
of these guys have been around thirtyyears. You go, what, no,
and then you go, oh crap, I'm old. Uh but yeah,
there you go. Uh, Iget it. I mean I years

(38:37):
and years ago. I used tobitch all the time that I didn't like
the idea that they had straight sofar away from rock that just anybody,
any musician could get in. Itwas like, well, it's the rock
and roll Hall of Fame, youknow, create a different hall of fame
for these But now I get it. Now it makes sense. So I

you all set up. Okay.Thanks. John Fogerty goes all the way
back to what crap CCR? CCR. When did CCR form late sixties?

(40:30):
Sixties? Man, that dude's hada hell of a crew. That's some
longevity there, that's impressive. Andhe has the rights to his songs back
now. So impressive, man,that it blows me away. And he's
out touring the summer. It's hardto imagine that dude was out touring in
the late sixties and he's out touringagain in twenty twenty four. He was

(40:53):
a great follow on Instagram, especiallyduring the pandemic, because you know when
nobody could go anywhere. Yeah,he had this big family and they all
play instruments, and so they wouldall do these jam sessions in their backyard
and they would play all these greatclassic CCR songs. It was really cool.
I you didn't go anywhere during thepandemic, Well, I went out
maskless, you know, like breathingon everybody, because so I went everywhere,

(41:16):
right God, I don't even wantto think back. I think we
all have kind of selective amnesia whenit comes to that. Have you started
feeling a pandemic nostalgia yet? No? God, no, start to start
thinking back. I still remember havingto have working in media, having to

(41:39):
have a piece of paper I can'teven remember. I might have got it
through the through the radio station inPhilly. See what I mean by the
selective I've blocked so much of itout, and I think a lot of
people have. But I remember havingto have this little piece of paper that
I kept in my car that saidI was in media in case I got

(42:01):
pulled over when you weren't supposed tobe out. It's like, that's why
I want to forget all that stuff. It's garbage. I remember wiping down
your groceries, you know, havingdelivered dear. Oh yeah, I remember
standing in line at Trader Joe's forlike three hours to get two bottles of
two buck chuck because you're limited towhat you could buy. Oh my god,

(42:23):
Oh the days. Yeah, eightthirty two. Do you have Maryland
Dustin? Our boss? It's hisbirthday today, our program director. I
think he's like, what twenty twonow maybe twenty one. That's the way
it is now. It's like,you work for these kids. They haven't
even figured out how to wipe theirown butchet, there's somebody's boss that's so

(42:49):
happy birthday to Dustin. Queued itup to the part where she's saying it
was would have been nice to doit like two seconds. It was a
break. And it's not just watchingher all the mic. She's still in
the dressing room. What's going on, She's just looking here. We're going

(43:16):
happy day program director happy. Shewas so she was so banging the president.

(43:38):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. There'sa tunnel that goes from where is
it, the Hotel Washington. Itgoes there a tunnel that goes from under
there to the White House, becauseit's like right across the street. Yeah,
I'm sure we're hearing about that.And they were like, oh,
they've they've filled those in long ago, years ago. I bet they're still

(43:58):
there. I'm sure there's still Well, the rumor had it, this is
what I heard. I don't knowif it's true. I'd heard that Maryland
used to stay in that hotel andthat they would bring her over under through
the tunnels to the White house acrossthe street. I don't know if that's
true. I'm sure, I wantto believe it's I believe. I believe
it probably is. And if itweren't, that it was something very similar

(44:19):
for sure. It's eight thirty fourFlorida man. The Florida man story this
morning. Well, let's get anintro here, ready, hit it?
Florida man. All right? Deputiesin Belusha County arrested a man. There's
nothing crazy crazy about this story otherthan I'm always blown away by criminals who

(44:44):
have a car full of paraphernalia,whether it's guns or AMMO or drugs,
whatever it is. Why they speed? Why would you do one hundred miles
an hour with no license and acar full of drugs? You are just
stupid. They pulled the guy overand a BMWX three as he was speeding

(45:08):
along I four. According to theSheriff's office, the driver, Kevin Rivera,
twenty nine years old, of kissingme. Is that how you said?
Kissing me? Kissing me? Kissingme? Florida kissing me? He
was doing one hundred and thirteen onthe fastest parts of the chase when he

(45:29):
was fleeing the trooper one hundred andthirteen miles an hour. Eventually, the
chase came to an end when anotherdeputy threw one of those stopsticks across the
road. Have you ever seen thosewhere they roll it out and it flattens
all the tires. Yeah, theythrew a stop stick out flatten the guy's
tires. Apparently in that chase,he had also thrown a handgun out the

(45:49):
window into the nearby woods, whichwas actually later found by a canine unit.
Deputy said in the car they foundcocaine's coton MDMA xanax, marijuana and
weapons and one hundred and sixty fiverounds of ammunition. But he said that's

(46:10):
not mine. Dude. This guyhad everything. And the quote from him
as he was being cuffed, Ican't believe this man. Why Wow?
When they asked him why he fledand just didn't pull over, I would

(46:31):
have said, well, because I'mcaring about sixteen tons of drugs and a
bunch of weapons. He said,because my driver's license is suspended. He
was charged with aggravated fleeting and attemptingto elude, armed trafficking of drugs,
possession of marijuana, attempt to distribute, possession of firearms, possession of ammunition

(46:52):
by a convicted felon. Oh great, so he was a felon too,
possession of drug pairer familiar, resistingthe officer without violence, tampering with evidence
that must have been thrown the gunout the window, and driving with a
suspended license and suspended license will comeback to haunt him. Numerous traffic citations.

(47:12):
On top of all of that.The suspect is currently out on probation.
He'll totally behave himself. I'm surethere you go. I'm just every
time I see a story where youknow, you got somebody it's like out
of running drugs, you know,back in the day when people used to
like smuggle weed in from Mexico orwhatever, you know, I'd always go

(47:36):
like, guy's got like a truckloadfull of bricks of marijuana before any of
it was legal anywhere, and he'sgonna do ninety five and a thirty five?
Why why, Like wouldn't common sensetell you I'm breaking the law.
I should probably do everything in mypower and I get pulled over. No,
they're idiots, idiots. Eight thirtyseven Tennis is coming up with Sports

(48:00):
on Tap Chest around the Corner itis big one hundred. DC's class crack
is big one hundred. And goodmorning to you. Hey, I want
you to look at some genis morningguys. See that morning See that balance
it was zero, just to go, holy crap. You did a little
gambling. I did a little gambling. I bet on the Garcia Haney fight
old one, and I do wantto fight. Wow, by the way,

(48:22):
because you're mister ju ju. Areare you into MMA? Like are
you all in? Yeah? Payper views? You watch them all year
and you know the fighters, menand women. The only reason I didn't
buy the Garcia Haney fight was becauseit wasn't until like eleven o'clock a night.
And meet me standing up that late, even on a weekend. Yeah,
I'm just battling the head, nodding, and you know, it's just

(48:45):
but I a couple hours before,like you know, prelims, before the
undercard started, you know, andI'd been following Garcia on Instagram for quite
some time and was just watching himgo off the deep end. Dude.
You know, there was like he'son drugs or yeah he's in crazy town.
Yeah, oh crazy town. AndI'm like, well, first I

(49:07):
was like he's he's selling tickets,he's pulling econor McGregor. But then he
got I mean, he went,well, dude, ain't right in the
head. No, And I thought, oh boy, this is bad.
But then there was something about it. I was like, you know what,
man, he may just shock theworld. I know, he may
just shock the world. I thinkthat's worth twenty bucks. I would agree

(49:29):
with that. And so I jumpedin there and I did it nice,
and I was like, holy crap, yeah, shocked the world. He
knocked him down three times in theseventh round. He did. He did.
You know, It's interesting because Igrew up in the seventies with boxing,
and you could always count on agreat boxing match, a title beout
on the weekend every weekend. Yeah, wide rutle sports, that whole thing,
right, then box kind of justyeah. I think in the mid

(49:50):
to late eighties boxing started to wayoff. Yeah, I'll tell you what
though. Dana White is a geniuson a whole bunch of levels. But
he hit at the right time whenboxing was at its worst. Nobody was
interested and we needed something pugilistic toget a going. I wasn't sure if
MMA was going to work because itwas pretty it's pretty violent. And remember
in the beginning they banned it.They did, so they did. They
couldn't hold everybody's attention to because ifyou're talking about me and Da Da Da,

(50:15):
but he's turned it into a frigginempire. And I'm telling you what,
it's watched by millions. The payper view events are huge. It
is a big deal. It is. It is. Although I still really
enjoy a good boxing match, sothat you don't see them offted anymore.
So, so I think there mightbe a boxing match with the Commanders and
Jayden Daniels happening around. What isgoing on there? Man, So we're

(50:37):
down the street is and and bythe way, I'm a big believer.
Where there's smoke, there's fire.Even though there's going to be a lot
of shenanigans this week with people sayingstuff that ain't true about about these guys
that are going to be drafting onThursday, Friday and Saturday. Apparently when
the Commanders hosted the lets everybody cometo Ashbourn and let's hang out together top

(50:58):
golf all that kind of stuff,apparently, and allegedly that put Jayden Daniels
and his crew off. One ofthese days, I'm going to ask you
who your source is. Right,Allegedly he didn't like it here. Yeah,
Now, here's the thing. AndI'm not trying to be a dick.

(51:19):
I'm just saying, if you're lookingat a lot of teams and you're
looking at especially if you were tolike look at a team like Dallas or
Miami, and you know, Ithink this place would be very attractive because
of the future. But if youwere walking in and looking at FedExField,
yep, and what's happened in thepast twenty five years, right, you
would go, yeah, you wouldget now yeah, no, no,
I get that part of it.You know. Tom Brady's doing a thing.

(51:43):
And I was telling you this lastweek. He's starting to be more
candid on social media and I thinkhe's ramping up to be a color commentator
on Fox come fall with the NFL, and he talked about these quarterbacks that
are coming on now, Generation Zand he says, I've got no problem
with people wanting their money and soforth and so on, but he said
between the social media, the anildeals, and the entitlement of this young

(52:05):
generation is coming up. He said, listen, you are not going to
succeed in the NFL as a quarterbackbecause it is all about team. And
you might chalk this up to oldguy yelling at cloud, but all I'm
telling you that's Tom Brady, thewinningest quarterback of all time, that knows
what the hell he's talking about,and I agree with him. So between
Caleb Williams, his dad and histeam, and now possibly Jaden allegedly and

(52:30):
his team, you know, it'sgoing to be very interesting to see if
indeed, and I know you talkedabout it a couple of breaks ago about
who goes to what team or ifanybody trades down. This has only happened
a couple times in NFL history.John Elway told the Baltimore Colts to take
a hike. I don't know ifyou remember that. And then also Eli
Manning, actually his dad said tothe San Diego Chargers were not going there.

(52:51):
And that's when the Giants and theChargers flip picked. So Philip Rivers,
who got drafted by the Giants wentto San Diego and vice versa.
But it doesn't happen much in NFLhistory that says a player I don't want
to go there, do not draftme right, especially publicly. Well,
they're they're going to keep the numbertwo spot. I think so too.
And Adam Peter's a GM said that. I mean he pretty much let me

(53:14):
ask you this though. He prettymuch came out and say, if somebody
offers you three number ones the nextfew years and a couple number two's and
a player, do you even considerthat though? I take number two now?
Okay, so you're all in.I'm all in generational quarterback. I'm
all in on the rebuilding, andI am putting all the police I am
because they have enough draft capital asit is in fact. And look,

(53:35):
honestly, you could write Caleb Williamsoff. You could write uh, Jayden
Daniels off. You still have guyslike McCarthy and Drake May and Bo Nicks
and Michael I mean, there's stillsome great quarterbacks in there. There are,
and we don't know which one ofthese are going to succeed no idea.
Yeah, I mean you and Ihave been talking about Drake May falling
down, but he's not going tofall down that much. But he could

(53:57):
be the guy that he could bebeing the next time, Brady, you
don't know. Patrick Mahomes went whattenth Yeah, tenth, yeah, right,
that means tenth or fifteenth. Thatmeans like ten teams went eh,
yeah, I know. Well ithappens every year, right, yeah,
you know, even like with RockPurty, last man taken in the draft.
Now he's going to the super Bowl. You just don't know. But
it's interesting. We'll find out moreabout what Jayden Daniels and his camp really

(54:22):
think about the Commanders. I thinkit's as week gets closer to Draft nights
and will be a big deal.By the way, CAP's lost on the
weekend to Rangers four to one.They hung on for period and a half
and then the Rangers just open upthe floodgates and they dominated that game.
That's that's a good team. Nextgame Tuesday nights at MSG and the Nationals

(54:43):
won again. Yeah, how aboutthat. I should get on the gambling
app and just put some money onthe Nationals go against what I think about
them. Paul A Costanzos are theopposites Nationals that are just not a good
team. They're just not a goodteam. They just keep winning. By
the way, a good sign ofthe generally gambler is that you're gambling outside
your favorite sport of NFL. Whatthe love that you're doing? You're right?

(55:06):
We should tell missus Jackson about this. By the way, is that
a secret encounter or did she getto see that it's eight fifty four.
Thank you, I appreciate it.Let's give away some tickets for its easy
