(02:20):
things that are happening out in thebig bad world today. Raby's nerd Now.
Also, since it is a Thursday, they throwback Thursday, some throwback
trivia nice on the show This Morning. Anything you want to be a part
of, please do that. Idid want to bring this up. There's
been a lot of talk this weekabout the college football sign stealing thing right

(02:44):
and the Lanks to which this guyhis name is Connor stallions these lengths that
he went in Michigan's supposed sign stealingoperation that are coming to light. He's
a Michigan staffer. He bought ticketsfor more than thirty games over the past
three years at eleven different schools inthe Big Ten, trying to scout other
teams, and then he would fordthe tickets that he bought in his own

(03:07):
name to at least three other peoplein different parts of the country, and
one or both of those teams werealways on an upcoming Michigan schedule. So
the NC double A is you know, looking into video evans that has a
serviced or whatever. Now, scoutingfuture opponents in person has been prohibited by
the NC DOUABLEA since nineteen ninety four, and if Michigan and Connor did indeed

(03:31):
use video to capture opponent's signs,the school could be looking at a violation
of Article eleven of the NC DOUBLEAfootball rule books, So it could be
big trouble for them. Now,this isn't going to be a I'm sure
an unpopular opinion. I don't careabout that stuff. It's like we talked
about steroids in baseball. Don't care. I want them back counting cards and

(03:52):
casinos like, I can't do it. I'm not able to do it.
That's the thing. I feel like, if you are sharp enough or wise
enough enough. Yeah, now,if you're using video, that's bad video.
But if you are just kind ofthere and you're scouting and you can
see with your own eyes and youcan remember stuff or whatever, then I
think it's all fair and good.Why is video bad? Well because they,

(04:14):
like I think, because it takesaway the skill from it, you
know what I mean, Like anybodycould sit there and videotape something and then
and then watch it transcribe right exactlylike counting cards, you know what I
mean counting cards Like, I thinkif you're able to do that, I
mean, it's not illegal account cards, No, But you'll get kicked out
of the casino, as you should. But why because they will consistently lose
money They don't want to just becausethat everyone will understand why they don't want

(04:34):
you to do it. But I'msaying that I have the right to refuse
service. Sure, but I thinkwe're talking about I understand why they do
it and they lose money. Mypoint is, if people are smart enough
to do that like either for awhile and yeah, otherwise the casino would
shut down because or they wouldn't haveblack check at least, right. No,

(04:57):
I do understand what you're saying there. I understand exactly why the casinos
don't want people to do it.Yeah, you know. But at the
same time, like if you can, if you again video for the sign
stealing stuff or whatever, different Likethe Astros got caught that way too,
right, everybody hates them. Theywere videotaping everything. But I think if
you can commit it to memory justfrom just from watching it, okay video

(05:19):
you're allowed to have a notepad,sure, Oh yeah, you could be
writing them down record you know allthe time. Do you sketch it?
No? Using No, using technology? What about a pair of like you
know, the bifocal the long range. Oh yeah, I just got like
a telescope set up from a hotelroom across the streets and then but then

(05:43):
you sketch it. Yeah. Alsoin the sports world, what's not a
big deal is when they implement themercy rule. If you're up one hundred
and fifty to zero, I say, keep trying. Yeah, who cares
if what you're going to hurt theother team's feeling. Yeah, they say
like, oh that was key,Yeah, that was tasty. Yeah,
they say that all the time.They did a crush like this just happened
with the Dolphins and the Broncos,where the Dolphins coach could have set the

(06:08):
record right in that last a fewminutes for the biggest margin victory or whatever
could have Yeah, most most mostpoints scoring where you declined sportsmanship. Yeah,
if I was up fifty to zero, I would tell my players,
like, we're losing, Yeah,keep going, keep it's on them.
I agree with you on that two. But I mean the Dolphins didn't.
They put in their scrubs and theystill kept scoring, right, but they

(06:30):
could have, like they took aknee instead of going for this so weak.
They should have went for it.Yeah, you want to give you
want to give the fans a show, you know, you go all out
at all times and then smash thembeers like stone cold out there, rub
it in like the steroids and baseballthing. I know, it was way
more exciting then. All right,Okay, where does it stop? College?
Fine, what do you mean steroidsin college? Okay, college ball?

(06:54):
Sure, because you're trying to getto the majors, absolute stars in
high school. No, no,because yeah, you wouldn't beleed down at
the high school soccer because yeah you'restill a minor as soon as you turn
eighteen. Yeah yeah, no way, And no eighteen year old would ever
give like his friends who are seventeensixteen. No, no, not at
all. No, No, itwould be all that argument whole school school.

(07:16):
You may not agree, that's fine. I don't agree. I'm not
trying to get you to it.I have a great example of why not.
Yeah, it's great, and Idisagree with your disagreements. He's saying,
think about the children. Exactly?What he ever played sports at any
real level, so he doesn't understandthe pressures in competition? What real level
did you play at least high school? I played in the high school.
What did you play freshman? What? Football? Yoh? Yeah I play?

(07:40):
Yeah. I was the quarterback forthe football team. Were you on
the tennis team? I was onthe tennis team. Baseball? I played
baseball? Yep? Okay, Soyou played one year of freshman ball and
if someone had offered you steroids exactly, I was like, no, I
wouldn't have taken them. Are youkidding? I didn't even try weed until
I was like thirty years old.I wasn't the guy I turned out an

(08:01):
orgy threesome. What are you crazy? Yeah, I would have been all
over the steroid stuff. Totally me. Uh. New Orleans Saints superstar Chris
Olive. He was arrested a laveo. It's certainly not all right anyway,
arrested because he drove his Dodge Chargeron the street in Louisiana. He

(08:22):
was booked on a charge of recklessoperation of a motor vehicle offers. Officers
say he was doing seventy miles anhour into thirty five. It was like
a mixed uh business residential area isway too fast, okay. Cops say
he was recklessly maneuvering between lanes andaround other drivers on the roadway, and
there was there was another one whereit was like he was going fifty and

(08:43):
a thirty five because there was anotherone on. He had already been stopped
for a speeding before. And sothey arrested him and they took him in
and then as they were like,uh, cuffing him and everything goes,
you know, I played for theSaints. The officer. The officer did
not care give, I probably shouldsay that. Yeah, I would say
I were at a local grocery store. I don't care about to say where

(09:05):
I worked. There is another unpopularone. I don't care about. Fifteen
to thirty five. Now that's notthat big of a deal. Yeah,
fifteen thirty five different THIRTI I don'tknow was it residential. If it's residential,
then yes, I care thirty fiveokay, And that type of car
being driven here is a big factoras well. Right, he's driving a
major Yeah, no question, thatis a douchebag car. I mean you

(09:28):
said, like the first one wasbusiness and residential. Is this one also
business and residential? I don't Ifthere's any residential, then it's way too
fast. I don't. I don'thave that information. You can't be speaking
like that when people are walking,riding bikes. He's not in a cornfield.
Yeah, yeah, he did tweethe said that bro was on the
way back to the crib from CBS. Ain't none serious? Yeah, okay,

(09:52):
when you're doing seventy exactly, it'snot that serious. Why are you
blasting at twice a speed line?Yeah? No, I understand getting a
ticket, but like you're you getarrested for you know, fifty to thirty
five, seventy out of thirty five. Well, he said he also reckless
between lanes and around other drivers againtracks for dodge chargers and challenges. That's
true. I guess I'm thinking morealong the line like, what are something
that's like against the rules or youknow, illegal, or something that people

(10:16):
say is bad against the rules,illegal, whatever. But you think it's
not a big states where pots illegal. Yeah, that's pretty Dumbah, the
stupidest that you could be arrested todayin certain states for marijuana. Yeah,
I mean and break generally is stillillegal everywhere, right, give me an
and break. Even if even inthe states where it's you know, legal

(10:37):
recreationally, still on a federal level, you could get in trouble. Criminal.
I agree, Yes, you're acriminal, but it's so stupid.
I agree with you, Greg Gory. Oh, hookers, if you have
two consenting adults, and then peoplewill say, oh, but trafficking,
I'm not talking about trafficking. That'sabout talking about two consenting adults. And

(10:58):
I make a deal with the I'llpay you fifty bucks to do X,
Y and Z, and that's thedeal. How is that anybody's concerned.
Okay, let's say you're on onlyFans, right, like all these only
fans chicks who are doing all kindsof stuff and then for a certain amount
of money, like she'll show upor you can show up at a meeting
place and have sex with her.Yeah, like she clearly this is a
business for her. She's not beingyou know, like someone like that is

(11:20):
not being trapped. We're talking aboutthose like, uh, you know,
the people in the back alleys andyou know, the shady stuff that you
see where they bust these people onthe streets. In fact, doing it
legally reduces trafficking because it gets ridof that element of the world's oldest profession.
Greg, I'm I know, it'sjust normal menace. Do you have
one. I would just say theplaces that you still get a jaywalking ticket.

(11:43):
If it's safe to cross the street, just let people cross the street.
But some people will still get ticketedfor that. Yeah, nobody coming.
Yeah, and just because you cry, you know, right, But
I mean if you're putting your handup been telling cars to stop so you
can that's different. Yeah, that'sa totally different situation from what I'm talking

(12:05):
about. Oh, God, Ihate those people, and uh, you've
stopped for them, but man,it's like they almost because you stop,
they slow wave I know, andthen i't even look at you and give
you like the friendly wave. They'slike did they slow way? They're gonna
make you wait. It's like,dude, I already stopped for you and
being nice. I'm always tempted toput the window down and say, I
know you can walk fast with them, Sammy. The cell phones while driving,

(12:31):
I don't care, Like if somebody'son their cell phone, will driving
like no, you shouldn't do that. But they won't even let you touch
your phone. You can get aticket if you're sitting stopped at a stop,
like because you're in a lane oftraffic. It's like, oh my
god, I'm not even moving.Yeah, they say, oh, because
you're distracted. The distraction is theconversation. It's not the fact that you're
holding the phone to your right.That'd be like okay, well, then
you shouldn't be able to change theradio station, or you shouldn't be able

(12:52):
to take a hand off the wheelto put the windshield wipers on, or
use your signal if you don't faceshaving and you holding a you know,
a tissue up to your cheek.Yeah, because they like, yeah,
that's fine. They're not pulling.They're not pulling people over because they're driving
just with one hand on the steeringwhile the other one's on the arm rest

(13:13):
or whatever. No, because you'reholding something up to your face. The
distraction is the conversation here. It'snot the phone. This argument falls completely
apart. That's it's not not alsotexting. But that's not the only thing
you're doing. You are who's calling. You're looking down, you're sliding something
open. The only thing you're doingis not touching your face and then it
calls. Would But also, isn'tthat the same thing as like changing the

(13:33):
radio station? What station isn't on? Or what am I listening to?
I want to change it to adifferent track on this playlist on my auxiliary
like what Like there's things that areslowly moved, those buttons to on the
steering wheel over time, so youcan flip up and down through your presets
and not getting for it to makea call is not you don't Also,
I would love to see a studyI just told you. Just say,
hey, sirih call Woody most peopledon't do that. Shows had to accidents

(13:58):
increase since the ban. Kids,everybody did everything, try to hide it,
you try to text instead. Noteverybody can be really good at it,
like I am exactly, But howcan we take care of all the
sea? Bass, only there werea car that drove itself, and if
only the people pulling you over,if only the people pulling you over for
doing it weren't on a CB ona computer doing all the stuff. That's
what Greg's been saying, hypocrites,see you Bass, what yours? You

(14:20):
guys have hit the big ones.But I'm gonna do anything like anytime little
kids by themselves. We've talked abouthow kids are now not allowed to be
free range. They're not allowed todo all this stuff. Wander off like
he said, where people are caloh my god, there's a kid by
himself on the playground. Yeah,okay, yeah, that's where kids are
and then they do the playground fine, yeah, all right, I agree

(14:41):
with I agree with all those.You're not on board with mine. That's
fine because I know no support sterohytesfor kids is a bad idea. There
you who's back in? This isa show into another new hour of insensitivity

(15:03):
training for a politically correct world.Thursday morning, it's the pre Friday.
It's October the twenty sixth, twentytwenty three. Woody, that's Ravy,
good morning. There's Greg Gorey Menaceis here. What it's up. There's
Steve Asks, we got Sammy Y, Marny Bort, Caroline Morgan Vaughn and
you on the phones. If you'dlike to be a part of the conversation

(15:24):
this morning, whatever you got,or I think you want to bring to
the table. Eight seven seven fortyfour, Woodie. That's eight seven seven
forty four Wooding, or you canhit us up with a text. Who
hadn't sent that over to two tonine eight seven. We'll get right into
the trending news headlines. And it'snot good, not good at all,
because it was a massacre in Mainelast night. Twenty to twenty two people

(15:46):
are dead, dozens are injured afterseparate shootings in Lewiston, Maine. Yeah.
What the the confusing part is,depending on what news channel you're looking
at right or what news coverage you'relooking at, the number of fatalities varies.
I've seen sixteen, eighteen, twenty, I've seen twenty two exactly like
it had a news conference. Isn'tthere like a what's the last number?

(16:08):
I'm sure people that went to thehospital have died in the hospital, right,
Sure, But I'm saying as oflast night, they were saying twenty
two, and then this morning,I'm seeing sixteen. Right now says sixteen.
Some other sources though, say twentytwo. CNN says up to twenty
two. K. Yeah, Idon't like all the speculation. There was
a lot of that going on lastnight, Like so there was a bowling

(16:29):
league happening. Do you think thatit's possible that this person you're just filling
time? Yeah, thats uff drivesme. Not just tell me what we
know. They know what he lookedlike, They had his name, they
have his name, They were onthe lookout for him, which I guess
they still are, right, theystill are. Just give us the hard
facts, right, give us whatyou know. Don't give us the speculation

(16:51):
stuff. Just give us what youknow. Well, what they know is
the first shooting was at that bowlingalley and then at a nearby restaurant.
They say it was four miles fromthat bowling alley, and they I did
a person of interest in that shooting. Forty year old veteran firearms instructor who's
been treated for mental health issues overthe past years, when he said he
heard voices and then just spent liketwo months. Yeah he was committed.

(17:12):
Yeah, like some mental institution justover the summer. And then after the
shootings, they found a car neara boat dock, door open, lights
on, so the shooter they thinkgot onto a boat. So there's a
shelter in place for residents. Schoolsare on lockdown, and the hunt for
that shooter I just checked, stillongoing. And they do have his name,

(17:32):
by the way, Yeah, wejust don't do We won't say his
name. We don't do names onthis show, right, And I mean,
if he's struggling with mental illness,how the hell is he a firearms
instructor, And how the hell doeshe have a gun, Like I'm sure
he wasn't a firearms instructor anymore,but the yeah, access to a gun,
how did he have it? Peopleget access to whatever they want.
I understand that's true. How toget it. It's been a war on

(17:55):
drugs for decades. You know,things are illegal, and people who want
it still get it, right,especially if you're but I bet you walked
into a gun store and bought it, especially if you're nuts. You know.
I'm just yeah, I'm just hopinglike when he was committed, that
all of his guns were taken,right, and then we figure out if
it's not a red flag state.New One Maine is not a red flag
state. I don't know what thatmeans, like if you have these episodes

(18:18):
or whatever, typically the red flagstuff, they can take guns, they
can take whatever that's a red flag. I see. Wow, Well we'll
keep an eye on that. Seeif they get this guy. In other
news, after twenty two days,four nominations, a bunch of closed door
meetings in fighting, I don't likea little bit of immaturity here in a
little bit nothing but immaturity being starcasticbaby. Mike Johnson of Louisiana elected the

(18:45):
fifty sixth Speaker of the House.Not a single GOP lawmaker voted against him.
The vote was completely down party lines. So maybe now they can actually
do some productive stuff. That guyJamal Bawman who pulled the fire alarm,
oh yeah with him, he wascharged misdemeanor. Yeah, but yeah,
he said it was an honest mistake. Oh was it? So? Yeah?

(19:07):
This is the Yeah, the circusman, I think fire alarms opened
doors, they said. All theimages show the alarms and the emergency exits
very clearly marked. Video shows himclearly seeing the signs as he runs out
of the building. Booked on acharge of raising a false fire alarm that
carries a maximum sentence of six monthsin prison and a fine of up to

(19:29):
a thousand dollars, but he enteredinto agreement with the Attorney General that the
charges withdrawn in three months if heissues a formal apology to Capitol Police and
pays that one thousand dollars fine.That's so childish. They're all big babies.
I thought this opened the door.Now we got to see if the

(19:49):
government is going to shut down ornot. Apparently not. They think it'll
be fine until January, if notApril, so there won't be a shutdown.
That's the story. Every three months, yep, exactly. Also,
a Dusty Baker, manager for theAstros, he had been hinting that he
was going to retire. Now it'sofficial. He is calling it quits.
He told the Astros owner Jim Cranethat he is retiring and apparently said he

(20:11):
wants to stay involved in baseball somehowin some kind of advisory role for the
Astros and then the NHL. Theyhad banned players from putting so called pride
tape on their sticks during warm ups. That's the rainbow color tape represents LGBTQ
plus community. But they just reversedthat band so now players can use pride

(20:33):
tape. We were just talking aboutthis the other day. The NHL says
that they are now given players theoption to represent social causes with stick tape
Pride Night in NHL games. Thatwas a touchy subject from the start because
a bunch of players were not Abunch small handful of players wouldn't participate in
Pride Night. Well, depending onwhere they're from. The Russians, right,
wouldn't do it. Now there's like, I mean, there's stuff that

(20:57):
need do, especially if their familieson Russia. You know, it means
bad things, like if they're likeyou know, and I can't I can't
say I blame it. I don'tagree with you know, I think anybody
if you feel like your family's indanger for whatever, you can argue you
know, Russia, you know,good or bad or on the right side
of things, the wrong side ofthings. Of course I think it's the

(21:18):
wrong side. But if my family'sin danger, you know, if I'm
seeing supporting or whatever, I justfind it interesting that there are people who
say, like, don't talk aboutyou know, religion, politics or whatever.
Now we're finally getting to a placewhere it's like you start to see
people like, you know what,We're not even gonna wade into these waters.
We're gonna you know what, we'rehockey. Yeah, we're just gonna

(21:38):
play hockey. And people are like, no, you will, blah blah
blah, and so then they geta bunch of things you can't win.
Scholastic, you know, the bookfair people, right, they they had
a whole thing because you know,everybody's touching about books and everything, uh,
you know, depending on what thecontent is for it. We're talking
about elementary school kids and the kindof books of what whatever that's showing up

(22:00):
any schools, And okay, fine, so Scholastic they have these book fairs
that I used to love the bookfair. Book fair was the best ruled.
It's the love when they had thoseold cheap catalogs that would come out
beforehand so you could see like whatwas going to be there. I need
to figure out what you wanted tobuy. Man, that was awesome.
There was a point in your lifeyou were so excited about that, so
excited for the book. Yeah,I don't know why. It's so fun
that weird anyway. So Scholastic hadcome up with this idea. They're like,

(22:23):
look, depending on the school districtor wherever, they can opt into
a package a, you know,an optional selection of books that would be
available now at the school. Forwhatever reason felt like, you know what,
we don't want to have this particulargroup of books there. They can
opt out, and people are like, no, it will not be an
option, it will be a mandatoryinclusion, and blah blah blah blah blah.

(22:45):
So they're like, all right,good Jesus. But if it's a
mandatory inclusion, you have to gothrough beads like the porn shop, right,
like the video. Wouldn't that befun? Oh it's definitely quarantined off.
That is Oh wow, are youserious? The forn beads here?
I thought Rabi is just being funny. Yeah, I think that. Yeah,

(23:06):
I didn't know that. I justdon't understand, like what if people
what like, why not just givepeople an option? Right? Like,
all right, look, either wewant to wait into this, and you
know, is it worth the argument, the hassle, the whatever. Let's
opt out of that, and peoplego, no, you will wade into
these waters, I know, like, oh God, the damned if you

(23:26):
do, damned if you don't.The makers of Pride Tape, so,
in response to the NHL reversing thePride Tape ban o their site get Ses
exactly, and they put out astatement saying, and I I agree with
the intention of the statement, butthey say, we are so very grateful
to everybody who believes hockey should bea safe, inclusive and welcoming space for

(23:48):
all. The problem I have isthat that implies that without Pride Tape,
the NHL would not be quote safeand inclusive. Why do we have to
inject this issue into it? Shouldn'thave this issue to begin with. Yeah,
Well, it's like when everybody wasgoing, you know, nuts with
the kneeling during the anthem for footballgames, and it's like, people like,
can we just play football? That'sjust that's how I feel about it,

(24:11):
played hockey hockey? Yeah, whydo we have to have any sort
of social issues, there always haveto be like some kind of display that
we always had to wear, likeall of our take a stance on this
issue, use their platform for good. Remember the nineties, it was always
like you had to have all yourstickers with all your views on the back
of your car. Oh yeah,that's before everybody had social media, right
yeah, Oh man, it's thepeople the people who tweet a lot now

(24:33):
would have been the person whose entireback of their car was covered in stickers.
No, you don't see that muchanymore because they got social Yeah,
exactly. Uh. And the endof the road for the mcflurry spoon.
Did you hear about this? McDonald'sgetting rid of those spoons in order to
cut down on single use plastic waste. So the clear spoon doubled as a
spindle that got uncertinated into the mcflurrymachine in order to mix the toppings into

(24:57):
the ice cream. So now McDonald'sis to have a reusable spindle on that
machine. It'll get swapped out andcleaned after each mcflury gets made, and
then for serving the mcflury, they'regoing to use these small black spoons that
use less plastic. Yeah, allright, it makes sense. It makes
sense. It does I'll be it. It frustrates me how dumb people are.

(25:17):
How many people thought that was astraw because it has the opening the
toppy. When I worked at McDonald's, I saw so many they're like,
I don't know what's going on.It's not a straw, it's and then
they pull it out and they go, oh, Now, at that point,
mcflury's were kind of new. WhenI was working at McDonald's, they
were kind of a new thing.They haven't been new in decades now,

(25:40):
you know, at this point,it ain't a straw. I didn't think
they were around when you worked out. Oh yeah really yeah. And the
thing is, it's not the bestdesign anyway, right, like because it
doesn't I mean, the mcflurys don'treally mix all that well. It's still
like just mostly ice cream and everyonce in a while you get like a
little flicker two of the ore Ocookie in there. Yeah, the majority

(26:02):
of the topping, the fixings orwhatever on the top. Yeah, they
can have a better mixer. Yeah, they could do a better mixer thing.
So maybe if it's a more youknow, this reusable thing, maybe
you'll get a better blend maybe,yeah, but it didn't. It did
frustrate me just how dumb people were. Oh Jesus, yeah, it's like
that. Uh when Bort was talkingabout, you know, the it people
with the all the dumb questions.Yeah, the issue is about like,

(26:26):
oh, there's this computers. Wellit's the computer's off, turn it on.
It's just a dumb people. Thisis the show. Yeah, this
is they show. Yeah. Doyou guys remember that story about that guy
who was on America's Got Talent whogot smashed between two exploding cars, right,

(26:52):
it was extreme, fell to theground. Yeah, Jonathan good one
is name. He's suing nbc U. Huh. Figured that was gonna happen.
Of course. He claims that theproducers kept encouraging contestants to perform bigger
and more dangerous stunts, while atthe same time cutting corners on safety to
save money. I mean, thedude almost died, le Cord. Yeah,

(27:15):
he lost his left kidney, sufferedthird degree burns, fractured his legs,
ribs, shoulders. It's giving mein a wheelchair for the rest of
his life. Yeah, Sammy,you have all kinds of like are these
permanent injuries or just because I don'teven know how long ago was. Sammy
was on that show wipe Out,and it was the worst. He says

(27:36):
every once in a while, likewe'll be sitting around having a conversation,
you know, Bort, and everybody'swas kind of talking about whatever. I
go, how are you as youngas you are? And you have like
she talks about her back or likeshe's got that I thing that goes on.
It's like, how do you haveso many things? She goes,
Well, the back thing and allthese other things are from when she was
on this show so hard. I'venot seen the video for the you don't

(28:00):
know wipe Out his show on ABC. I just saw a commercial for it
on like Monday Night Football. Yeah, can they keep doing this? It
was gone for a while. Itcame back during the pandemic because it was
an outdoor thing, right, sowhile people were scrambling to figure out things
they could make, wipe Out wassomething they brought back. Yeah. And
so the whole thing is that getthese It's like an obstacle course, right,
and so you try to make itfrom one thing, but you're jumping

(28:22):
from like a platform to another thing, trying to climb over something else,
and there's these things that are tryingto knock you off. Right. Literally,
the crew is throwing things at you. And before we started the obstacle
course and they show us all thestuff, we were asking for helmets.
We were like, wait, thisis the one with the giant, big
red balls, Like where are helmetsAnd they were like, oh, well,
you don't get those unless you makeit to the second round, and

(28:45):
talking about they wouldn't give us helmets. But the girl was like, you
know, a pa or something andshe was like, yeah, I don't
know. And it was freezing,it was crazy, and they were throwing
stuff at us. My partner init got hit in the head with one
of the things that they threw atus when they refused to give us helmets,
and he got a concussion. Ohwow. And that was at the

(29:06):
very start of the obstacle course.So then he had to finish it with
a concussion, right, and they'rescreaming at you to go faster and all
this stuff, and I, youknow, it is the name of the
game where you really get wiped out. I didn't think it was going to
be that bad and that they reallywere just not going to give a crap,
Like it was crazy. So like, so, what how did you
injure yourself? I couldn't even tellyou because you're just running through the obstacle

(29:30):
course and you have to keep going. So there were so many things that
happened. I couldn't tell you exactlywhat it was. There was what hurt
the most. I jumped. Therewere these like three platforms that you would
jump to and everything's all wet,and I jumped from one to the other.
And what they did was as soonas you land, it falls,

(29:52):
so you can't stay on it.Even if you're like, oh, I'm
doing well, it's like, no, you're not sure. The video game
Mario, yeah there for a second. As soon as you land, you
gotta jump again because it's going away, right. I haven't seen your video,
Sammy, but from what I've seenfrom the show, it is pretty
brutal on how Sammy, like smashyour face into something that was the one
And what's funny is I don't remembersmashing my face. I remember that hit

(30:17):
and I remember it hurting. Andwhen I watched the video, I'm like,
oh my god, and the announcerslike so mean. She's like if
she didn't have a face for radio. She certainly does know. Oh wow,
that's like how she delivered it.Yeah, whoa, it looks fun.
And then like Sammy like fell tothe ground in like this little pool.

(30:37):
Yeah it was so shallow. Itwasn't yeah, I mean not that
that area was. And the wholetime you just get smashed and you're like,
oh my gosh. You're trying torecover and they're screaming at you to
get to the next one, andyou're just like okay. At one point
I stopped and I turned to everybodyon the side that you can't see that's
filming, and I was like,I'm going as fast as I can,

(30:59):
like nice. So what's I havenever watched the shop, just seeing the
commercials, like, so, whatdo you win? Like do you go
through all this like that? Let'slet's let's just say you get through the
whole thing, you're the winner.What what's the prize? Right? I
think it's like twenty grand or something. Not worth it? No, twenty
grandam, if you I would notdo it again. But once you wipe

(31:22):
out, aren't you out of theshow or out of the game? Right?
Yeah? But they made you keepgoing. We were out because my
partner had got the concussion, andI I went to like shower and everything
like you because you have to waitfor everybody to go through to see what
everybody's times are. And we werethe second group, so we would have
had to wait for everyone to goAnyways, next thing I know, I'm
being told to quietly sneak out andgrab all of my partner's stuff because he

(31:48):
was taken away in an ambulance andI need to meet him at the hospital.
Yeah, he got hypothermia, hegot a concussion. It was yeah,
sounds like to me, right,got wo geez. Yeah yeah.
And honestly, I mean I wasn'thappy that he got hurt. I was
happy we didn't have to yeah.Yeah. Yeah. And so now you
have like what a lower back thingor just a back, Yeah, lower

(32:12):
back and like hip kind of thinggoing on, which everyone just tells me
physical therapy, which I've been doingfor like two years now, long ago.
Yeah, how long ago was this? It was in I think it
was November of twenty twenty. Okay, so it's been a minute. It's
finally starting to get better, butI've been having to like rehab the muscles
in my back for Jesus, wowword, because Menace had this dream he

(32:37):
wanted to go on that show,The Flora's Lava. I'm still down.
Yeah, it'd be like who's ap I did watch that because my kids
got into it for a minute.And we know Menace can deal with concussions.
He's had like an h he's inpermanent concussion protocol. Yeah. Really,
I've knocked myself out so many times. I'm good. We know,

(32:58):
yes, you are good. Ijust you know. I don't. I
don't get how, man, wewe try to do different contests around here,
silly stuff that we can't involve listenersin because of all the liability.
I don't know how some of theseshows get the clearance or whatever to do
them watching them. Well, nothey are because it's a big network.

(33:20):
NBC is a big company. It'sbecause you signed the waivers. I know.
But I've brought up like, oh, well, people to sign waivers.
They're willing to do whatever it andit's silly stuff, silly, silly,
silly, and they go, Nope, we can't do it. Too
much liability. So at what pointdoes NBC go they get they deal the
same thing, I'm sure or ABCOh, I'm thinking of the America's Got
Talent guy he's suing NBC from thatthe guy fell and is in the wheelchair,

(33:44):
that guy ABC, NBC. Anyof these that have people do the
floors lava people, like how dothey how do they get around there overseeing
this? They're not going to reallysay anything because they want the next job.
They're going to stop forduction like,no, no, you hired for
the next job. But do youunderstand, Like, how how do they

(34:05):
get it approved in the first place? Is my question? You're right with
these iron clad Yeah, I meantwo weeks after they were still filming other
episodes, like two weeks after USand a guy did die, and they
really, yes, a guy die, shut it down And I don't even
know if they shut it down.Oh it's back down, Yeah, I
have a commercial. God, theybasically get and we're like, oh,
it was a pre existing condition andit didn't have anything to do with the

(34:27):
obstacle, going oh no, itwas we wanted to do like an eating
competition of some kind, like Nope, it was like a simple thing like
stuff you see Nathan's or one ofthese wing eating contests wing Bowl. I
was just watching a thirty for thirtyAnd I didn't watch this show when it
was on, but this thirty forthirty was all about American gladiators. Oh
yeah, and that was like thebiggest show in the world there for a

(34:51):
time that Now, yeah, that'sthe thirty for thirty that I was watching,
And like one is completely crippled andlike completely addicted to opioids because like
the documentarians like, when did youget off the opioids? And he said,
who said I got off them?Like you're still taking and like they
didn't have phoamy enough mats, likeso hurt. At least that was like

(35:16):
the eighties, you know what Imean. I should be better now troum
American gladiators. They would have learnedmore. It was like the Arab lawn
darts, that kind of stuff youcan't do now. Totally, it's a
pretty fascinating documentary. I felt badfor everybody. That's when Action Park was
still gone in New Jersey. Youwatch that documentary. I sure I didn't

(35:38):
even think that was real, wasit? Johnny Knoxville, Oh yeah,
I went there as a kid once. Yeah, the first water park I
ever went to. It was calledWet and Wild. The water slides were
cement and you sat on a matand if God forbid, you came off
the mat. You were just eatinglike crazy because you're going down the cement

(35:59):
water slide. Fun is it,though? I mean, come on really
fast, I'm pretty fast. Atext he found the episode on the wipe
Out website. It's the episode calledBig Ball Energy. Big Ball Energy,
No nice. You can see Sammyslammer face. Yeah, somebody posted some
clips in the Woody Show fan forhim on Facebook. That's where I saw.

(36:19):
Oh, yes, I've only heardabout it. I've not mean,
I've seen just the commercials from theshow, so I know what goes on,
but I don't know what she didor that's where I saw heard the
mean announcer lady and saw or hearda sound coming out of Sammy you've never
heard before. Really, can you? Like? She hit her face like
so hard Big Ball Energy. Youdon't remember any of that. I don't

(36:40):
remember hitting my face, but Iremember that portion of it. And I
really have only watched the clips,I think one time, because it really
is kind of like PTSD. You'relike Woody Show, all right, welcome

(37:02):
back everybody. Yeah, you knowthat's Friday man, the text was super
salty, and you know, asthe host of a show where you know,
we're trying to see if like kindof where people are at, what
people's moods are, like kind ofread the room kind of thing. You

(37:22):
know, I get it. Imean like look at look at all the
stuff that's happening right now, youknow. And I was thinking, because
of Friday, was like, man, it's Friday. What the hell the
hell's going on? Why is everybodyso salty? I mean, you got
the the whole thing is people Ithink are just on edge. You don't
know what's going to happen with thiswhole like Israel Hamas Palestine, iran situation

(37:45):
that just seems to be getting worseby the day. You know, people
are broke. Things cost a billiondollars and are just getting more expensive by
the moment. You know, peopleare just frustrated with you know, working
all all the time and you know, having completely not much too. Yeah,
people are just especially get to thispoint of the year or two,

(38:06):
I think people are just kind ofburned out. And then you got the
new stuff, like you know,the story that we're dealing with this morning
out of main and yep, thenall the other regular life stuff. Yeah,
exactly. So I get it.But it's interesting because I'm told by
a whole other group of people,like oh, millennials and gen Z's and
everything else, like they don't holdhostility and negativity and blah blah blah.

(38:28):
I'm like, what are you talkingabout? Like, people are people,
They're human beings, right, Andso I think it's a disservice to not
acknowledge that people are stressed out andthey're pissed off, and you know,
like they like it seems to belike a sweeping it under the rug kind
of mentality. Yeah, So Idon't get it. So that's why,
like when that happened on Friday,I was like, you know, first

(38:49):
I'm looking at it going oh,But the more you just kind of sit
and think, you go, yeah, I get where people are pissed.
I get where people are frustrated oranxious or whatever. I mean, if
you look at social media every dayyou do believe the world is ending all
it is You're just fed sure nothingbut negative story about how the economy is
going to crash at any moment,and then on top of that you have

(39:12):
everything is Yeah, it is piledon. If you don't look at it,
well, easier said than done,because even if you don't look at
it, it's still happening. Numberone, and then number two, everybody
else that you're talking to or whatever, that's what Now you're in a conversation
about it, because that's what that'sthat's what the topics are, that's what
people are discussing. And on topof all that, you compound that with

(39:34):
all the the politics stuff, andthat's you know, got people crazy,
the you know, crime stuff.You know, they get the stories.
People just like nobody feels like itjust feels like it feels everything. It
just feels like chaos, it does. I get it. I get it.
But if you're like looking at socialmedia all day and you're being fed

(39:55):
that, you do have to juststep you have to step back and say,
of course a lot of terrible thingsare happening, but it's not that
bad. Yeah, of course.So anyway, I feel you, I've
been putting a lot of thought intoit, and you know, just again
just a a in an effort tounderstand, you know, where the majority

(40:16):
of people are, because that's ourjob. Our job is to kind of
understand and read that room and providea break or you know, discuss these
things. You know, nobody's alone. Everybody's going out and dealing with the
same crap. Dude. The hon a on a a you know,
much lighter end of frustration. Thetipping thing really also seems to have people

(40:37):
like all over the place, Likethere was this big write up. I
saw this guy and he made areally good point, you know, because
now there's a lot of places thatare instituting like a mandatory tip, like
an eighteen percent. It used tojust be for parties of six or more
exact you would see that, butnow it's like there are places that are

(40:58):
instituting it's an automatic eighteen percent gratuityon top of whatever you order, and
then they ask for an additional tipif you want to leave something additional,
It's like no, no, no, no, it's already a good eighteen
yeah, if you're putting that onthere, all right. I find it
interesting that it's eighteen it's not evenfifteen fifteen. It is like the standard,
although it's become more in people's minds. I think twenty percent, and

(41:20):
that's probably only because it's easier math, probably for most I know it is
for me. That's how it started. Like this is just easier twenty percent.
I don't have to like, youknow, try to move the decimal
point double that you're good, right. I was watching a video on this
girl. Her friends are recording her, and they're actually asking the waitress because
she didn't know what cartrudity was.I don't know what grtudity, gratudytudy,

(41:45):
you know, you know what I'msaying. But she didn't know what it
was. She didn't know what itwas, and she goes, I didn't
order this, all right, that'sfunny, that's funny. That's all that
dessert to someone else. But thisguy made a great point. He said,
you know, not only is itnow like a required you know this

(42:07):
this you know, non optional tipthing, but the service is worse than
it's ever been. So it's noteven like you're getting the service that you're
just to get and now it's atip that you have to pay. He
said, you know, try askingfor ketchup or something else that was like,
hey, that you need for yourmeal. And maybe the timing was
just interesting, but you know,I ended up having a lunch with somebody

(42:28):
here recently, I must have waitedten minutes just to get a fork.
They I had a knife, Ihad other stuff. I didn't have a
fork. So they brought the mealand I wasn't have a fork. It
took forever to get this fork.Oh I'm so embarrassing. I'll just get
up and go. YEAHS is gettinghis fork. Yeah, get I'm not
waiting around for that and forget gettingyou know, like a refill on a

(42:49):
drink, like you know, they'llsee you there with an empty with an
empty cup for you know, fortyminutes, and it's like we've made eye
contact, right, you know,I'm christy. Yeah. I don't need
you here every ten seconds asking howthings are, but like you know,
every once in a while, youmight want to pop by while the meal's
happening. Hey, can I isthere anything that you need for the meal?
Yeah? Something because they're understaffed.It's a little bit of both of

(43:12):
me that I think if you ifyou know, you're getting an automatic gratuity,
gratuity cratuity, Like where's the motivation? Yeah? Yeah, what does
it matter? Yeah? All motivationwould be gone? Yeah, what is
it gone? I was listening toa discussion about robots and how the people
are loving it because they're like,yeah, I don't have to tip it
rules. And then the drones arefinally here. They're testing them in a

(43:37):
college station, Texas. The deliverydrones by Amazon and to deliver everything like
yeah, don't got a tip,rules, don't talk to anybody. Yep,
here's a nice text. Thank you. What do you showed for addressing
how we're all feeling. I'm amiddle school teacher, God bless you,
godspeed, and it's really hard ontop of everything else in the world,
but your show helps me to keepon keeping on cool. I think most

(43:59):
of the time, people just don'tlike to feel alone, you know.
I'll just reading a study about likethere's so many people that just feel lonely.
That's a big issue. Oh forsure, definitely, you know,
you know with adolescents, Oh,oh for sure. Yeah. Yeah,
speaking of Cratudi, I can't rememberif it was tuty, if a ride

(44:19):
that I took, or a restaurantthat I went to. But you know
how they'll say, like at thebottom of the bill, it'll say uh
ad tip and it'll say fifteen fivethe options were twenty thirty or forty percent.
That's what Yeah, that's what itis. Forty percent, that's what
it is in a cab on topof the inflated prices of everything exactly.
And it starts at twenty. Here'syour options twenty thirty or forty Yeah,

(44:42):
all right, more what the showis coming up? And hang on.
Coming up next on the Woody Show, Braby, we'll tell you her deepest,
darkest secret. I'll tell you whatit's not. It's nothing sexual.
You went to Harvard Way to gomother, Well, thank you for that.
Pretty sounds candy corn. They're usingthe word candy to describe is wrong.

(45:08):
Using the word corn is wrong.It does not taste like candy nor
corn, and you taste like somethingthat was made out of oil. You
could take all the bags of candycorn and actually, if you melted them
down, you could run a car. All the candy corn it was ever

(45:31):
made. It was made in nineteenfourteen. They never had to make it
again. We never eat enough ofthem. We only eat two or three
or four pieces a piece. Literally, after Halloween, the candy corn companies
send out their minions and they gofrom garbage candy garbage can and collect the

(45:53):
corn and throw it back in thebags and it appears next to you.
So now that's what Raby has beensaying. I disagree. Truth right there.
And my son and my son andI and Braby, we went to
a football game last weekend and inthe car, Raby learned that my son

(46:15):
likes candy corn and circus peanuts andshe wondered what was wrong with him?
But he is destroying this child.And he does not like peanut butter cups.
Yeah, God, not his favorite. Wrong, now, that is
unlike his father. His father lovespeanut butter cups. But the associated pressed
at a deep dive into the lovehate relationship that people have of candy corn,

(46:37):
love it or hate it. Rocks. They make roughly thirty million pounds
of candy corn for the fall seasonevery year. That's enough to circle planet
Earth about five times. Last yearthat amounted to eighty eight point five million
dollars in candy corn sales. Wow, that's just in the fall season that
they sell. It's not like they'reselling it year round. Eighty eight point

(47:00):
five million in candy corn sales.So for something that nobody likes, weird,
I believe it. I mean,it's decoration that's why you put it
on the table. Yeah that's aparty. Yeah, oh yeah, how
many parties you guys been to it? They just have like candy corn strewing
on the table as a kid.Yeah, I think menace is right.
Part never seen it. You pourthem into like some sort of glass and

(47:22):
there they sit. Picture you throwthem in. Some people throw like confetti
on a table like you know,see that as well. Yeah, the
confetti, I've seen it. I'venot seen candy corn part of your Halloween
centerpiece totally. It's just for show. Yeah. Uh so. The Warned
Old Candy Company in Philadelphia first producedit in eighteen eighty eight. It was

(47:45):
called buttercream with one type called chickencorn, I believe it. And then
Brox began the candy corn production innineteen twenty. And it's it's straightforward stuff,
man, It's just sugar, corn, syrup, confectioner's glaze, salt,
gelatin, honey and dies, allthe good stuff. Yeah. But
I love it. It's not bad. I love it. It's discussed.

(48:07):
I almost don't remember what it tasteslike, Like I need to get something
I can't. I mean, youcan't eat even I People go oh.
I think one thing for Raby isthat she doesn't like anything too sweet.
She does like big portions. Shedoes like it tastes like wax. It
doesn't taste like wax, it does. It tastes like those soda pop things.
No, no way, those haveno taste. Candy corn kind of

(48:30):
tastes like a hanila, almost likeyou said, honey butter cream or yeah,
it's like bad. It's like youhave one and you're like, okay,
that's the thing. Multiple a poundof them at a little small handful
of candy corn. That's nice,Just like a little grab and go uh
yeah. I love like, ohthat's what that tastes like. Hey,

(48:51):
it almost tastes like icing. Iyou know, it makes no difference to
me whether people like it or not. That just means more for me and
the other candy corn people like Bortand my son. I do, though,
worry about the Circus peanuts fans.Stop brainwashing your son. Yes,
Circus peanuts, I mean I lovethose are No, I love those.
You think candy corn is bad foranybody out there who's a candy corn fan

(49:17):
and gets crapped on by all yourother friends or family members and again.
You feel like you're alone, youare not alone. This is this is
one big day of you know what, you're not alone. I wouldn't the
game of today, You're not alone. Candy Corn to the chickens that used
to resign because I love them.Okay, we have some throwback trivia.

the computer. It's like you're sayingas confidently as I gave that answer about
Pink and Blue, But I'm reallyconfident. Yeah, I mean I hope,
So, I hope that's the case. It's gotta be Are we talking
prop planes and then to jets orjust sticking with prop planes? Well,
and the jet thing gets a littlecrazy a lot more than goes in it.
I mean, be cool to learnhow to fly and everything else,

(01:03:42):
but like a prop plane that's waymore attainable than by a jet, right,
Yeah, yeah, it'd be coolto know how to fly, like
I would love to know how tofly, like the big stuff, like
those big like you know intercontinental overseas, you know planes that you know,
United and whatever flies. That'd bedope. You can pick up like a
Honda jet. Oh sure, pickone up, Just pick one up.

It is my dream. I usedto remember the local radio station used
to be at our mall all thetime, lucky really, and I would
just hang out because I was soinfatuated with radio. I wasn't even trying

(01:04:45):
to win a prize. I wouldjust hang out and watch them the entire
time they were there. I justkind of like linger and watch. And
I remember, like I said tothe one point, like not trying to
be weird. I'm just really interestedin radio. And because they were like
they were like calling into the stationlike you know, on the air and
stuff, I thought it was thecoolest thing. Awesome from the mall rules

(01:05:08):

Phones are open at eight seven sevenWoody. That's eight seven seven forty four
Wooding. Uh, the Tuesday Takeover, we've we've brought that back. And
one that we did recently. Oh, we've had two so far. But

(01:06:15):
one that we had recently was withBort and his segment how stupid are your
co workers? And there was justanother one that just happened. Shocking.
There's just another one that just happenedyesterday. Bort was telling me because this
morning Morgan was having a problem withthe computer in her studio where she works,

(01:06:39):
the studio right next to ours,and couldn't get ahold of anybody.
But of course, you know,the company has cut all the people that
used to be here around the clockfor if anything, with all the technical
stuff that's around yeah, a groupof radio stations, which is not much.
No, it's like one or twothings. Yeah, there's a lot
of technology all packed in the onebuilding. And so the computer wasn't working,

(01:07:02):
and so she had to call thisnumber because there's nobody in the building.
And then when she finally you know, got it all going and everything
else now, and it's like,okay, well what happened? Well,
I guess the computer was not workingproperly yesterday and the IT and engineering department
came in to go fix it.And the person who was on the air
is like, you can't be inhere right now, really, which I've

(01:07:23):
never said. There's so many DJs, man, it's like you get on
the air and you're talking to howevermany people at whatever time, you know,
at any given time, but oneperson you can't be in here right
now. Well okay. So theydidn't like the attitude so much. They're
like, you know, what,f you? And they left. But
here's the thing from everybody after thatgot stuck with this computer issue, and

(01:07:45):
now here it was it was,you know, two o'clock, two thirty
in the morning, and Morgan's flippingout because she can't get this thing to
work, which she needs for herjob. How freaky. Oh man,
So that dumb coworker right screwed iteverybody else. Now, I don't know
who you're talking about, but yesyou do. Every DJ. I don't

(01:08:05):
know who you're talking about, butevery DJ I've ever met that acts like
that is not a good DJ.Just throwing that out there. Okay,
Well, there's a website. They'vecollected a lot of stories from people talking
about the dumbest things they've seen acoworker do while at work. So a
little follow up to that. Someonewho worked at an airport said their coworker

(01:08:26):
took his girlfriend through a secure areaof the airport to bypass screening, so
the whole airport got locked down.They were both arrested, and of course
the guy was fired. For sureworth it worth Hey, you know I
can get your around security. Youdon't have to wait in that line.
Girl. Oh wow, so yousaved ten minutes, right right. One
of my employees came to me andasked, do I have to turn on

(01:08:48):
the computer every time I want touse it. It's the same person who
asked me if they were required toattend a mandatory meeting. No idiots are
optional. Here's one. A kitchenemployee forgot to put oil into the oil
fryer and turned it on. Afire shot up. Then they put water

(01:09:09):
on it, causing a bigger fire. You don't put water on an oil
fire. Luckily there were no injuries. Wow. Dumb things people have seen
their coworkers do at work. Someonesaid a manager was trying to teach an
employee how to correctly prepare a customer'sfood, and the employee said, I'm
not the one eating it. I'mnot the one eating it, so why

(01:09:30):
should I care? Oh, well, you work at a restaurant preparing food.
You should care. That's your job. Someone saw a guy super glue
himself to a component that he wasfixing twice. He did it once and
then he inadvertently did it again whenhe was trying to show people how it
happened. Well, how'd you endup doing it? I was doing this.

(01:09:56):
Wow. Someone opened a chat windowto start talking SMA about a co
worker forgetting. They were on acall with that co worker at the time,
and they were sharing their screen.Oh you know what you deserve?
That you actually you ever actually saida text? I I'm so careful about
it. Yeah, I am,Now what did you do? So there

(01:10:17):
was a person, a friend ofmine, who was up for a job.
I have, you know, arelationship with the person who is the
hiring manager in this situation, andmy buddy hadn't heard anything in a long
time. There was a big,long stretch where you know, they felt
like they were in the radio blackoutright okay, And so I'm like,
all right, well let me letme nudge them and see what's going on.

(01:10:38):
If I can get anything, seewhat's going on. So I got
the update, which is like,oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we's
been like really, you know,something came up. But what In other
words, there was no problem.It was just some other things had come
up. They has gotten behind onit. Hey, I'm going to reach
out to them the next couple ofdays. Great, So I screenshot.

(01:10:58):
I screenshot that instead of having atype of ball screenshot it and sent it
right back to the guy meaning tosend it to yeah because yeah, and
and and I was like, well, because I put my phone down for
a second because after I screenshot it, somebody started talking to me and I
went right back and I boop,yeah, screen said that, And they
go was this meant for me.I go, no, I was sending

(01:11:21):
it to you know, Ravy orwhoever it was. You know, I
told him, I said, yeah, said they were just asking. I
was just trying to get an answerfrom and they were cool about it,
you know. I was like,yeah, they just kind of wondered if
they were still in the mixer ornot. And they know that you and
I are cool. So yeah,I was just trying to help them problem
a couple of days. But imagineif that would have been like something like

(01:11:44):
something way worse. Yeah, orI had been a d pic. Dumb
things people I've seen their coworkers doa work. Somebody said a coworker photoshopped,
I'm sorry, photo copied a sliceof pizza, and the rest of
the office was finding cheese and toppingsin and around the hoppy machine for weeks.
Then they were being silly. Someoneput a bunch of knives into a

(01:12:08):
sink that was full of soapy waterand didn't tell anyone. Another coworker was
cut reaching into the water. Ohmy god, that sucks, this one
says. I run the IT department, And just last week, one of
the senior managers came to me andsaid, I dropped my phone in the
toilet? What should I do?Another person told me they were eating a
bagel at their desk and asked howto remove a sesame seed from a keyboard?

(01:12:33):
What is the IT department supposed todo if you drop your phone in
the toilet? Well, dumbass,you reach your hand in there and you
throw it out. I get it. I'll just flush it. Someone worked
with a tattoo with a tattoo artistwho did a tattoo that said laughed out
cry ladder across a man's chest insteadof later. Yeah, that's a okay

(01:12:57):
if menace was a tattoo artist,la no words. Yeah, it happens,
man. When it comes to fixingstuff. Somewhat recently, my garage
door broke to the point where itwas at this weird angle and then I
think the chain broke. It justwasn't working at all. Had the company
come fix it, And then whenhe was done with the repairs, I

(01:13:19):
asked the repairman, so what waswrong with it? And his exact response
was, yeah, I don't know. I know, you're the guy who's
to know. You just fixed it. How did you fix something if you
don't know what was wrong? Withit. I don't know. I don't

(01:13:40):
know. I just fixed it,but I don't know. Yeah, weird.
I told you when I was atthat Best Buy and the inventory looked
super low, I go, areyou guys closing? Are you guys remodeling?
And the response from the worker wasit is what it is? What
does that mean? Are you remodeling? Are you closing here? Which one

(01:14:02):
is it? I hate that alot of times a lot of people.
It's because they're not empowered to doanything. Even the people who are quote
managers, are in charge of something, they have no power to make decisions.
It's got to be by committee.It's got to go through a thousand
different levels of bureaucracy to get anythingdone. It's definitely that way at this

(01:14:23):
company. Oh yeah, Oh.When I had a couple positions open on
this show, the hassle like somebodywas leaving I needed to replace that person,
And so it should have just beenas easy as like, oh,
this person's leaving, I need toreplace them. No, no, no,
I had to submit a request tobackfill the position, which they already

(01:14:45):
knew they were going to do,but then it had to go to the
human resources committee. I'm not kidding. That is what it's called. The
HRC, the Human Resources Committee,And so they have to look at the
job and say, yep, wecan backfill that. So you wait for
i don't know week or two forthem to say yep, you can do

(01:15:06):
it. Then you can draft anAD to post it. Before the AD
gets posted, you send it backto the Human Resources Committee so they can
look at the AD and make sureit's written the way they want it written
before you can post it. Thattakes another week and a half to two
weeks. It's a long process.Yeah, right, So if people give

(01:15:28):
you a two week notice, we'realready at four weeks. Yeah. Then
once once that happens, then yougot to find the person that you want.
Once you find the person that youwant, they gotta do all the
background screening, all the checks,blah blah blah. They say that could
take up to two weeks. Andthen once that's all done, then you
got to, of course, youknow, work out the money situation,

(01:15:48):
whatever the deal is going to befor this person, and then that has
to get approved, goes back toguess where Resource committee. This is efficient,
Yes, is what it is.And that's the other week. So
you're talking just to fill a positionthat you already know is going to be
you know there, and you needto have this position filled. It takes

(01:16:10):
two months. Yeah, so ofcourse I lost my ish. I found
out this is a Metace move.You'll appreciate this mess. I found out
who the hell are these people onthis committee? I went to them directly.
Turns out I have a relationship witha number of them, and I
go, look, guys, I'mtrying to run a show here. You
know, we got a lot goingon. Can you just approve this please?

(01:16:30):
And what do you know? Itgot like turned around within like a
day or two on each step,but I still had to go through each
step just to get it. AndI can't imagine how that would have been
otherwise. Thank god. I don'tdeal with middle management at all. It's
like, but you can't, butthen you get in trouble. I don't
care about getting you get in troublebecause like the people that are below them,

(01:16:51):
you know you all you went overmy head. Oh sorry, you
went over my head on this.Yeah, but I'm like, dude,
I'm just trying to get my jobdone. You know, you want to
feel important, get a better position. Yeah, that's it. I just
know I'm just trying to get somethingthat this is not a slight on you.
Man. I don't take a notefrom someone who can't give you a
yes, same kind of idea.Why go through all this? Why waste

(01:17:11):
your time? Oh, it's sofrustrating. And then I found out later
on, I said, why isthe process like this? We always talked
about how we want to be acompany that moves quickly and communit, you
know, adjust to whatever the situationmight call for in that moment. And
I was told, well, becauselike if there's a position open, even
the smallest position at the radio station, so imagine wherever you work, the

(01:17:32):
smallest position that there is, thelow man on the totem pole entry level
JOMP has to get approved by someoneat the very top of the company,
and they sit on that request forthe longest time because they're hoping that you
on the ground level where this positionis open, figure out how to do

(01:17:53):
it without without position, and theywait for you to fight for it.
Then they go fine, but themeantime they're gonna hope that you figure it
out and then you forget about it, and then you never replace that position.
And then they say the three dollarsthat it cost to have somebody in
that position. That's how they think, that's how it works. Now.

(01:18:15):
I don't know what all goes intorunning a company. I wouldn't want that
job either, you know. Andso like they got to answer to stockholders
and everything else, but everybody.It sure does suck the fun and the
efficiency out of everything. That istrue, good lord, But empowering people
is so much better. You know, you can empower people to do things
and you'll get a better you'll geta better result. There's a guy he

(01:18:39):
wrote a book. Damn it,I'm gonna I'll get the name for it.
Let me take the break. I'llget the name because my buddy,
he works for a big company.I don't want to out his company,
but anyway, he works with abig company. They have this guy,
former military, like general or something, and he talked about how, like
why why our military is kind ofscrewed because there's so many different like you
gotta empower people at the smaller levelsto get things done as opposed to everything

(01:19:03):
having to go through the top.And so it's a whole basically, and
how this boils down to management andpeople running companies and how much more productivity
you get out of things when youcan just be more efficient and not have
to like this this god complex ideawhere like everything has to go through one
or two people at the top.Let the people, let the managers that

(01:19:25):
at the management level figure out howto get the jobs done, and then
they can just report to the peopleabove and going, look, man,
it's all handled. We're good.And then you move on and you have
time for bigger and better things.I'll get the name of this guy general
general something nuts, I don't know, let me let me find because it's
an interesting book and I want tolisten to it. I'm like, menace,
I'm not going to read it,but I will get the audio.

(01:19:50):
I will listen. Yeah. Yeah, upper management. Then it's like you
want to you know, the middlemanagement. They do a lot of the
work, but they just can't makeany of the decisions they execute. Yeah,
they're the soldiers. Yeah, andso they're getting beaten from the people
above and they take it out onthe people below them, and it just

(01:20:12):
sucks. Sucks. Yeah. Iwork at a community college. Every time
someone leaves, to take six toeight months to hire somebody it's a joke.
Geez, it's everywhere, it's everyone. Let me get the name of
this guy. And if you aresome kind of person that carries somebody calling
juice in your company or whatever,like, maybe bring this up. I've
just got to come in and talkto everybody. You know why they're never
gonna have this guy around here becauseit's completely against the system. They got,

(01:20:36):
all right, we're gonna take abreak. We're gonna take a break.
More what he shows next time?I get the bloody bullet points or
what do you show next to what? Exactly? What is this? What
do you show? All right?So, if you're listening before the break,
welcome back. If you are justjoining us, welcome Before the break.

(01:21:00):
I was talking about a couple ofdifferent things. We were following up
on boards Tuesday takeover from weeks ago, where he was talking about stupid things
that your coworkers have done, andthen I started talking about something else that
led to a conversation about just howinefficient all businesses at this point, like
you deal with managers. Managers haveno juice. They have to go to

(01:21:20):
the manager above them, and godknows how many levels of management there are
in your company. I mean,I know how much there are, how
many levels there are here, andthere's a ton and so nothing really happens.
I've really kind of moved into aspace of ask for forgiveness instead of
permission, because the stuff that I'mlooking to do or wanting to do,
it's all for the good of listeners. It's all good for the show.

(01:21:42):
It's not for me personally. I'mnot asking for personal stuff or personal freedoms
or personal whatever. No, it'sjust I'm just trying to keep Like when
I had to rehire a position onthe show, like we need people in
these positions to keep the machine moving, and I wasn't willing to wait five
months to do it. But youknow, between all the different levels of
things, I mean, the showis on again tomorrow exactly. And got

(01:22:03):
into a conversation with a buddy ofmine works for a big corporation, and
they had this guy come in.His name is General Stanley McCrystal. He's
a retired US Army general and heheld a key position for a lot of
the War on Terror. He waslike the head of the Joint Special Operations
Command in Iraq, and he founddespite our superior resources that we have with

(01:22:29):
our military, manpower, training,everything else, that when you're dealing with
al Qaeda, they actually had anadvantage because of their structure. It was
like this loose network of small,independent cells, and that just kind of
wreaked havoc because then you're dealing withgoing up against a the US military,
which is this big slow it's liketurning a cruise ship. Yeah, yeah,

(01:22:50):
you know, like he just can'tpivot right and deal. So like
by the time he come up andgo through all the different levels and ranks
and everything else to come up witha plan for this, they've already moved
on over here. And so theselittle small pods of you know, soldiers
and whoever's in charge, like thelead guy, they were all empowered to
make decisions to further the mission orthe goal or whatever it is it was.

(01:23:14):
And so the way this applies tobusiness. He wrote a whole book
about it, and the book iscalled Team of Teams, New Rules of
Engagement for a Complex World. It'sreally interesting. I've just heard what I've
been told about it from a coupledifferent people. One person read the book,
another person, like I said,my buddy, they brought in general
McChrystal to speak to all the highlevel managers in the company, which I

(01:23:36):
thought was really cool. I wouldlove to hear that. But just the
benefit of empowering people, which meanseven people down to the boots on the
ground level, the soldiers and whereveryou work, the people who are out
there making things happen. Empower everybodyin some way, shape or form,

(01:23:57):
and you'll get you'll get more outof it. But the more it's like
this, everything goes to the topand then top down kind of mentality pyramid,
it does. It does seem superoutdated. It does. Somebody said,
my wife applied for a job withthe city, the offer of the
position in November, went through alot of back and forth with hr or
the background check stuff. Then theyghosted, but then called her in February

(01:24:20):
to see if she could start intwo days. Yeah, alright, she
said, sorry, No, Igot another offer somewhere else, got more
money somewhere else. Yeah, soyou're only costing yourself, right, So
does then you have to start thewhole thing over again? I know,
And yeah, it takes forever putanybody in that position. Somebody else set
us up to the you know,the average, the average person stays there

(01:24:43):
between six months and a year,and so it's this constant thing because it
takes three months to hire someone who'sthere for six months to a year.
So it's just non stop. Yeah, it's just a non stop cycle.
Wow. Yeah, it's so stupid. Yeap eight what is the phone number?
Hit us? Some of the textover to two two nine eight seven.
I was I like reading books likethat, you know, because it

(01:25:05):
does apply that it doesn't really kindof matter what you do for the majority
of stuff, like especially if youwant to be moving up to like a
management position or you own your owncompany. A lot of entrepreneurs out there
now and you're trying to figure outlike and I understand like your asses on
the line or whatever, But Ireally believe in that whole idea of like
empowering people to be able to makedecisions and you could just be a lot

(01:25:27):
more It just works. Yeah,you can just be a lot more way
through it. Yeah, be ableto jump on a trend, Like think
about it now, Like every timethere's like something that hits and hits really
big American Idol hit right like yearsago, all of a sudden there's a
thousand singing competition shows, but likesome of them didn't launch for like another
year, year and a half.You know why because they sat there in

(01:25:48):
their meetings and think, well,American isles doing them well, well,
should get that, And then ittakes forever to get that together. Yeah,
you know, And I say that'smore of a production as opposed to
like, hey, you need tohire somebody, let's get that filled.
Let me know what I can doto help you move that along. Yeah.
In some of these like social mediajobs, they work for companies where

(01:26:09):
every single level has to be approvedand if you're like trying to jump on
a trend and like do a videoor piece of content that's part of the
trend, you have to get itapproved through like ten different people before it
can even get posted. And bythen you just look like, yeah,
you're outdated because you waited that long. Yeah. And it sucks for the
people in management who don't have theability to say yes because all the people

(01:26:31):
below them the menuon, they're lookingto them and they and it all gets
put on them. It's not fair. So they're they're getting beaten from both
sides. Yeah, they're getting beatenby the foot soldiers. They're getting beaten
by the people above them, andit's not even it's not even their fault.
They're just kind of the messenger.That's the whole thing of don't shoot
the messenger. What was the nameof the book again off the text,

(01:26:53):
It's called Team of Teams, NewRules of Engagement for a Complex World,
and it's written by General Stanley Crystal, retired US Army General. Pretty interesting.
Love that. So I was readingsomething else about like just how outdated
the whole nine to five. Yeah, that's the world is. That's kind

(01:27:13):
of the new popular thing to todebate. Well, we were talking about
work days, four day work weeks. Yeah, well we were talking about
that that girl better her first nineto five job and she was melting down,
and we played that audio here recentlyand somebody had a really interesting graph
on that and it was basically likeproductivity has gone up two hundred and some

(01:27:40):
percent, but wages have stayed relativelyflat. Yeah. Right, so everybody's
doing way more and wages are justkind of staggered. And this is since
you know, this has been goneso like the whole idea of when it
was more like all right, productivitykind of met the wage expectation. But
now when people are doing so muchmore, and you know what this is

(01:28:00):
too, There's been so many peoplethat have accepted raise would be they got
a title, right, they accepteda title instead of a raise, and
then there's enough people who do that, and then they end up not paying
anybody, and that people just takeit just because now you have more responsibility,
you're doing more, there's more productivity. But it's it's there's there's no

(01:28:26):
increat the meanwhile, inflation's way outpays. That's so I I do understand
that. And then during the pandemic, the new raise was not getting a
pay cut. That was your You'rewelcome your job. And I'm all for
capitalism. This don't take this assome kind of I'm like some kind of
like socialist. Yeah, but youknow, it's it's all interesting conversation.

(01:28:49):
How to keep people motivated, howto keep people, you know, moving
up, and let's be more efficientand I'll be a little bit more happier
at work. That'd be great.It's a big part of your life.
Is we weren't allowed to use theword fart. We called them fluff.
Oh yeah, the Woody Show,we weren't planning on having that whole conversation

(01:29:13):
about work, dealing with management,management, how they operate, and everything
else. But it's always interesting tome when something like that comes up and
you don't really think twice about it, just how many people really seem to
get involved or appreciate it, orlike the amount of text that we get
it's relatable, Yeah in any workplace. Well yeah, it's not even relatable,

(01:29:34):
but just a matter of like,you know, people feeling, you
know, like oh heard, orthat's that's what I've been saying that book.
See, I could kid myself sayingthat I'm gonna buy that book even
though I'm interested in it. ButI buy books all the time that I
never end up reading, which iswhy I did say it's available on audible.

(01:29:56):
Yeah, I could do that rule. There are seven percent of people
out there they say they own morethan five hundred physical books. Wow,
that's a lot of books were storingthose nine percent of people? So they
own zero? Oh wow, doyou want any books? Menace? Uh?
The Giving Tree? Probably so.But honestly, do you own do
you own a book? Like abook? Book? I have books.

(01:30:19):
Again, I buy them with thefull intention of reading them. I just
every time one of our friends comesout with a book, I'll buy it.
Yeah. I don't know where they'reat. I know it is my
dream to live in the house.I have a library. Yeah, yeah,
I think the last book I buytwas by her friend Emily Morris.
Oh god, I forget the nameof it right now, and I lost

(01:30:41):
it. He bought it and thenin the garden I remember now Smart Sex.
Okay, it's on Amazon. Pickit up. The majority of people
twenty percent between one and ten,by between eleven and twenty five, I
probably have somewhere in the eleven thetwenty five range, probably like wow,
do you have like fifty a littleneighborhood library that I participated in. I

(01:31:02):
see those that I go. Iwonder if anybody ever actually uses those.
Our neighborhood uses it a lot.I've gotten books, I've given books.
Like people have like a little hutinside their door and there's like there's an
books, maybe a puzzle in there. I never see anybody at it.
Yeah, did you put smart sexin there? Smart Sex? Smart Sex?

(01:31:23):
And the Woody Show back in fewthis story show and welcome back everybody,

were you talking about? I kindof half heard the conversation was during a

(01:32:03):
song or break whatever we were doing. You were saying, there's a new
pumpkin something. Oh. Yes,here at work, they ran out of
vanilla creamer, so they have pumpkinspice creamer. And it is absolutely horrible.
You might as well just dump abottle of perfume into your coffee and
then, you know, muddle somerose petals and it's just floral and perfume

(01:32:25):
chemically. It's horrible. Something poppedup, probably because I was talking about
that new sweatshirt that my wife bought, said pumpkin spice everything. Oh,
you weren't in here for that seabass. Yeah, it's a new sweatshirt
that she just bought. And she'shappy now because it's cool enough to wear
it. I said, there's nothingcool about that. Oh that is mom.
That is the mom version of stupiddad fishing shirts. All right,

(01:32:48):
not cool? Yeah, exactly,there's a reason I'm here. But anyway,
well, Sammy will always port theopposite of whoever we're talking about,
doesn't matter what it is, especiallyI it's lame. Yeah, especially if
it's lame. Actually, I've saidthis before, but if you ever need

(01:33:09):
the for the sake of argument personor you know, to be devil's advocate
person to argue on that side ofthings, she's perfect for it. I
support people. Did you take debateat all? Like in the Well,

(01:37:39):
you know what's amazing, an amazingCambano more amazing. Speaking of amazing show
that was from a broadcast from amusic festival years ago that was anything but
amazing. And the person back atthe radio station that was running everything just

(01:38:00):
sent me that montage and he's acrutch because it was bravy. Greg and
Menace liked to talk because stupid askMike the showkiller, our boss at the
time, said that we had tobe there like five hours be even started.
I'm like, why happening. Igo, I've been to a billion
vessevals. You never have to dothat. He's like, you gotta be
there, so dumb. But wegot a great clip out of it because

(01:38:24):
the person the person running everything backhere just took every clip of them saying
amazing from like a two hour period. Everything was amazing, so funny.
All right, so what do youshow fun facts for you this morning?
The world record for the longest careerat the same company is over eighty four

(01:38:44):
years. Wow. This guy inBrazil, he started working at this textile
company he was fifteen years old andhe apparently was still there at the age
of one hundred and wow. Beenthere. I mean, dude, I
wonder what his severance package like.Yeah. Interesting, that's so old.
I mean, you know, backin the days when you had like pensions,

(01:39:04):
and I mean not in Brazil necessarily, but yeah, not necessarily in
Brazil, but you know, thoseold timy jobs are there for whatever your
entire life toward retirement. Yeah,depending on the brand of toilet paper you
guys, remember brand you used towipe the fecal matter can travel through up
to ten layers. Nice. Ohyeah, so yeah, that's why you

(01:39:28):
worry about finger breakthrough or whatever.But yeah, you can. You can
travel through up to ten layers dependingon the brand of toilet paper. That's
another shot against you. I don'tneed to wash my hands people. Disney
used snow white and the Seven DwarfsDwarfs with an F d W A R
F S instead of V E Sbecause Dwarves didn't become the popular spelling until

(01:39:54):
J. R. R. Tolkienused it in the Hobbit a few years
later. And then that's when likethe common spelling changed, right there.
Interesting, very and finally, whatdo you show? Fun fact number four?
Hippos skins naturally produce sunscreen. Reallyyeah. They secrete this red fluid
that works like an anti bacterial anda sunscreen against that harsh sun there in

(01:40:17):
Africa. That pretty that you wouldn'thave to remember to apply that, right,
you could totally and I look likea hippo. Yeah, yeah,
well have it. Yeah, secrete, I'm gonna secrete right now. I'll
just go secrete for us. Convenient. I wish I could secrete in that
way too. It'd be great tonot have to worry about that menace.
You wouldn't have that Rudolph nose thatyou get like if you forget. Yeah,

(01:40:41):
it's funny, but I need tosecrete. Menace doesn't get like burned
everywhere. It's just as it's justyeah, it's crazy and there's your wood.
You show fun facts, this isout with and what you learned out
about today? Ray, So Ihad no idea this even happened. Daniel

(01:41:05):
Radcliffe is producing and participating in adocumentary for HBO called David Holmes The Boy
Who Lived Now. David was Daniel'sstunt double on all the Harry Potter movies,
like From the Jump, So hewas cast as a stunt child.
Okay, you know because Daniel waseleven when they made The Sorcerer's Stone.

(01:41:25):
So David had been working with Danielall that time up into the Deathly Hallows
Part one, where there was somekind of tragic accident on the set and
he broke his neck. Oh mygod, So David is paralyzed from the
waist down. Oh how old ishe at the time? I'm a kid
right well, during Deathly Hallows hemight have been like nineteen or twenty.

(01:41:45):
Wow. So the description of thedocumentary says, as Daniel and his closest
stunt colleagues rallied to support David andhis family in their moment of need.
It's David's extraordinary spirit of resilience thatbecomes their greatest source of strength and inspiration.
Oh my god, so it's gonnahit Max on November fifteenth. But
I had no idea there was anaccident like that on the set of Deathly

(01:42:11):
Hallows Part one. But apparently Danieland David have stayed in very close contact
because you get in very close contactwith your stunt double, and when you
make that many movies. That's interestingbecause you think Daniel might not want to
touch with that subject, right,But I mean it's out there. Yeah,
people know that this accident happened,right, and it's certainly not Daniel's

(01:42:31):
fault, and it was an act, right, I'm not saying that.
But the fact that he wants totell David's story I think is pretty cool.
Wow. I will definitely be checkingthat out, even though I don't
have Max. Maybe you come onover right a watch party at Greg's.
I appreciate that. Now, I'vebeen honest that I thought Oppenheimer was so
boring. Looks great, so boringone really cool explosion. But a lot

(01:42:57):
of people checked out that movie andImax beause Christopher Nolan was talking up using
the Imax cameras during all of hisinterviews, and all of that advocacy contributed
to one hundred and eighty million inglobal ticket sales for IMAX venues, and
that Imax is its own company,and it lifted its latest earnings result.

(01:43:18):
Overall, IMAX's revenues jump fifty onepercent in the most recent quarter, and
that was thanks to everybody seeing thisin IMAX. Now theater chains they have
a rev share deal with Imax.So if you're buying a ticket for IMAX,
some of it's going to the theater, some of it's going to the
studio, and some of it's goingto the company Imax. Okay, I

(01:43:39):
was right now years old, sothat's what that was a separate entity.
Yeah, and that's why those ticketscan be, you know, really expensive.
I had no idea if you're goingto go see it on an Imax
screen. But Imax doing very well. Thank you for talking so much.
