this company does. Yeah. Well, got a congratulatory email saying, oh,
just thank everybody for taking part in the Halloween party
here at iHeart yesterday and we got a visit from

(02:13):
the Halloween Grinch and blah blah blah. There was it's
you know, listen, it's appropriate. Keith Hodgkiss is our big
boss here, and he wanted to collectively thank the people
who put the party together, and you know, as an
opportunity I guess for a lot of those people to
I don't know, Rob, you know, if you're thinking about
a glass half full, which I like to do. It
was no downside to being optimistic in any situation is

(02:36):
maybe some of those kids made some new friends. Maybe
there was some play dates here at the office being
set up. Rob.

Speaker 10 (02:45):
And my favorite part of it was at the end
when some of the parents were still here cleaning up,
because most of them just leave and they're like, yeah,
somebody else will take care of that mess. Yes, But
the others were here cleaning up, most notably Loren.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
She has young kids, like young she has like two
little boys, and cheat kids just started melting down. Man,
this is just well you could tell like that. I
didn't see any of that. Yeah, they were hitting the
lost over it.

Speaker 8 (03:07):
Man.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
They've sugared. They've been sugared up and out.

Speaker 10 (03:09):
They're probably in bed in like a half an hour
from that point, seven o'clock whatever. All it was great, like,
now you got all these parents have to deal with
this for the night.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I don't have to. Well, and as soon as they
shut the door on the Halloween party, we get the email, hey,
one week from today, Magic flips to Christmas. Yeah right, yeah,
and so that's like a big old thing and they're hey,
blah blah blah. AnyWho, So the uh, the Halloween party
went off without a hitch. I'll tell you what I

(03:39):
like when it came in this morning. When they brought
the lights back up in the suite, Yeah, they didn't
make them as bright as they normally are. So it's
still a scoche. Dim. I don't know if you noticed that.
It's still a scosh. It is on the dimmer side. Yeah,
and I like that. I'm a big fan. Yeah that
was so that you found the bonus in what happened.

(04:00):
I was not going to complain about that at all.
And dude, I got lit up in a DM from
a listener. Oh my god. Oh really? Oh she was pissed.
Why because you were giving them a hard time for
the Yeah?

Speaker 10 (04:14):
She Uh, that's the worst off. First off, I can't
see her entire profile obviously, you.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Know, I don't follow her back. She follows me but
hot a hot moment? Oh really, Like you know I would.

Speaker 10 (04:25):
I would guess mid twenties maybe, okay, holding a very
young child and beautiful woman and proceeds to just lace
into me about what a dick I am, How I'm
I forgot what it was like to have children and
do fun things, and how I I'm now I'm grumpy
because I don't have young kids anymore doing things. And

(04:48):
I didn't even reply back. I just loved her message
because the passion to send me that note and to
be that hot and do it, I was like, good
for you.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
It sounds like she's trying to convince herself that she's
made the right decision, but that she's here in your
mid twenties, Like what do you live about in Chesterland?
Like you get a life to lead that has like.

Speaker 10 (05:05):
Absolutely nothing else to do but to comment on my
And I loved it. I loved everything about it. I
loved your passion. And hey, listen, thank you for listening
to the show. Absolutely and I and I and more
than anything, I want to I want to make sure
that I stress I did have children, I had young
Well you do Halloween, you do have Okay, I do
have children, But I mean did I know I did,

(05:26):
Thank God Jesus Christ not going something Here's I did
have young children at one point. We did go to
many events, We did do many things. They were just
never in my place of employment, which was my bitch
all along.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
So your kids when you were in Massachusetts, you've only
been here for years there, they're too old by the
time you got here to Cleveland, right, But when they
were coming up, they were never in your office. Boy.
I mean they got the tour like when I started,
but not for an event.

Speaker 10 (05:54):
No, And sometimes like they would come to the radio
station to meet me before we'd go to downtown Providence.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, that's just that's administrating though.

Speaker 10 (06:00):
I mean there was no there was no like, hey,
come hang out at daddy's work because we're going to
have a party.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I think, And again I mentioned it when we first
started talking about all this, but I think the reason
that this whole thing just didn't get my hackles up
is that every radio station I've ever worked for is
done one of these.

Speaker 10 (06:12):
Yeah, I I mean again, it was perfectly fine, and
I had much less of an issue with it after
five o'clock.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Right.

Speaker 10 (06:20):
I just think I'm I'm an old school person in
that way that you pay me to do a job,
and my hours to do that job are x two
x correct, So I can't do what I want during
right now. If I wanted to go across the street
to the Marble Room and have dinner and get drunk,
I can't can.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I mean, I mean we're doing a show, So I
mean I would, i'd I'd hope you didn't do that.
I mean would Again, hours that were that we were
on the clock, what if they worked eight to four? Great?
What about the others that don't? I see, that's all
that was my That was all my gripe was. Hey, listen,
I love Halloween. I can't wait to see the costumes

(06:56):
and the kids tonight. It's going to be fantastic. I'll
tell you. The big win for AC I had a
piece of that cake. I did see that, and Rob
reminded me because I had my lunch earlier and I'd
cut a corner piece of the Speederman cake that they
had gotten for this party yesterday that was still in
the kitchen and then I set it off to the
side of my console and had forgotten it was over there.
And Rob was laughing. He's like, haha, cake, and I go, oh, right, cake,

(07:21):
I forgot that I had cake over there.

Speaker 11 (07:25):
It was.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was like white frosting. But it was like marble, right,
the vanilla and the black of the vanilla and the
chocolate cake.

Speaker 10 (07:32):
I'm always called marble or something it is. I'm always
amazed at your discipline. Though you had a very modest
piece of cake. I had a very small corner, so
it was.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
It was. It was what I lacked in square footage
there made up for probably in frosting. Yeah, it was.
It was a wonderful looking piece here and again. It
was delicious. They didn't try to reinvent the wheel. It
was a cake. It was like a birthday cake, party cake.
It was great.

Speaker 10 (07:58):
Could you taste all of the the little kids snot
from their sneezes and oh yes and all it would
taste the germs.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
That's where the marbling comes in. It was moldy. You
know what I say. You know the best part of
the meat is the fat. I cut all the fat off, right.
I'm like a heretic when it comes to meat, because
I go, so the flavor is I'm like, well, then
you can have it. But I cut all the fat
off like my kids. Yeah, but big win for a
c because this morning, very early, soon as I come in,
I run into our friend Joeanne in sales there and

(08:29):
she goes, I heard you like them, And she threw
me a zip block full of all of the rest
of her mounds. She had collected them for me because
I mentioned that I had taken a couple from her
bowl yesterday morning before the party, and she was kind
enough to think of me and put the remainder of
them in a ziplock and I doubled down put them

(08:49):
in my hands.

Speaker 10 (08:50):
I went and talked to her after I told you
I tried the first time, and she didn't respond, and
then I said, that's why I don't talk to people.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Right.

Speaker 10 (08:56):
I caught her in the kitchen and I said, I
just want to make sure you hurt me. You've made
Allan's Halloween very special. He loves the mounds.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
She said, I heard that about him. Yeah, I said,
you saving my life here, yep. And she's like, well,
I was, of course being exaggerating, but no, it was.

Speaker 12 (09:15):
It was.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's very nice of her, Yeah, very nice. There's probably
a uh, there's probably fifteen twenty in here. Probably take
me a month to get through them. Will you get
down with the almond joys too? I prefer almond choice,
but she had mounds and that's just fine with me.
I can put an almond in my mouth, Rob, as

(09:37):
I'm taking a bite of a mounds insane almond joy. Yeah.
Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't, be
YOA Yeah, I always feel like a nut. But the
mounds were there, and I appreciate her turning them over
to me. But the email describing Rob is our quote
very own Halloween grnch who added to the festivities I

(10:00):
like that.

Speaker 10 (10:01):
Based on the events of the last two days you
with talking about candies and things like that, do you
dismiss your hatred of milk chocolate for Halloween candy? No, no, nope,
mounds are dark chocolate. They are yep, allmon joy I
believe is milk mounds are dark. At least these are
dark dark chocolate mounds.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Okay, maybe some of them aren't.

Speaker 10 (10:23):
Because you mentioned a love of kit cats and that
sort of stuff, So I like the dark. I like
the dark chocolate of kit cats.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh yes, all right, if there is a candy that
is not offered in dark chocolate, I'll usually pass, you will, Yeah, okay, See,
I didn't know if because these days you don't really
you're not really strung up by it because they are
so many dark You can get dark chocolate snickers and
milky away, you know, so you might. I don't think
that that's people don't. They don't default to that. They

(10:49):
take whatever there is. And seeing as how, you know,
the Trump terraces making everything more expensive, like candy is
like exponentially more expensive, so you can't. I wonder how
many people are going to see they just have their
front lights turned off. Tonight for Halloween. They're like, Emily
is gonna stop them put because we're home.

Speaker 10 (11:05):
We're just gonna chill. Yeah, have some wine, some dark chocolates,
some caviar.

Speaker 1 (11:09):

Well done, Yeah, that's fun. Bonnie is one of our

(16:27):
bureau chiefs. I believe down in South Carolina, I think
at please so, Rob Nagrill. Jamaica is one of my
favorite places on Earth. My husband and I eloped there
in two thousand and eight. We exchanged our vows on
the beach at one of the most beautiful Absolutely she
sent me a photo, absolutely magical is what she says,
photo of him getting married there. They eloped to Jamaica.

Speaker 10 (16:49):
And I guarantee you they have the sunset photo that
everybody pays a ridiculous amount of money to the resort
to take, because you get a photographer to come out,
you stand on the beach and the sun just looks
like it's melting into the ocean. It's one of the
most breathtaking things I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Now, why do you need somebody to why do you
need to pay to get a picture of the sun
going down?

Speaker 10 (17:11):
Because you got We had our family in the picture
like it was like a session.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
It was like a family session we did. Are you
all dressed in white? No, we are all in shorts.
I'm really glad that the first time I got married,
my wife wanted engagement photos and we had a really
good friend who was a photographer, a professional photographer, and
she wanted to go to the beach and have photos takens.

(17:35):
We went to South Haven, Michigan, which is right there
the other side of Like Michigan, and we had a
photos taken and your boy, my hair was very long,
so your boy was rocking a full pony a ribbed
mock turtleneck. Rob clan pleasure for no one's pleasure if

(17:57):
you saw these photos, and I'm wearing clan, which, by
the way, I will to this day defend clam diggers
as an article of clothing. Right, some people call man PRIs.
There are slight deviations in the actual cut, but I'm
a big fan of those kinds of pants. Any Who,
fast forward, and there's probably a reason why we're no

(18:18):
longer together. And I wouldn't go so far as to
say that it began with those engagement photos, but I'm
really glad that there are only hard copies that are
probably at the very bottom of a storage tub somewhere
in my ex wife's house. I want never to see
the light of day again. Oh she looks great. If
I saw them now, I'd be like, Holy Christ, what

(18:41):
was I thinking? But it was nineteen ninety seven, Rob,
I know your son.

Speaker 10 (18:46):
It was into the live chat on YouTube, so it
was a what I said, I know your son sometimes
pops into the YouTube.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
He happens to hear this and finds that photo. I'll
say that you said it to me. He might have
already seen it. I mean she might know where it is.

Speaker 10 (19:03):
No, no, no, that's what I'm asking for. Yeah, ship them
my way. Yeah I won't. I will never implicate you
in it. But when it's on T shirts and hats
and everything else on the But you.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Don't have to implicate me. And if I'm in the photo,
what do you mean implicate me? Ell, you had nothing
to do with this. This is oh, implicate him right,
Oh you're talking to your son, you're addressing him.

Speaker 10 (19:22):
Yes, I see, yes, No, that would be great. And
I never knew that those pants were called clam diggers.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Well they're called I mean women, they're called Capris. That's
why they called them man preeze. They kind of created
some I guess, more masculine portmanteau for those. But yeah,
I always called them clam diggers. They probably have a
different official name, uh, but I called them clay They
are something boy, Yeah, they sure are. Wow. They kind
of cinch below the knee. Yeah, that's uh. Oh man,

(19:50):
I'd love to see that photo. Well, I can see.
I close my eyes and see one of them. We
took a bunch of them, see one of them in
my mind, and I was like, but again, it was
nineteen ninety that of course. Yeah, yeah, I was fully
on board. You know, I wasn't. Uh, But I feel like,
I don't know if engagement photos have fallen out of
favor in general.

Speaker 10 (20:09):
I don't think so. I think people probably still do
them right like way I did them. Okay, you know,
but again, I mean, you know, I got married in
two thousand and five, so it's not like I'm speaking
of recent trends.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
By the way, I don't know how we missed it,
Rob maybe with all of the Halloween Michigas fogging our brains,
But yesterday was and I don't know why this is
a thing, but it was text your X Day, and
I was like, boy, Rob missed a golden opportunity to
have a legit reason to blow up your ex on OnlyFans.

(20:39):
You're like, Hey, what's up, let's text your X Day?
How's it going?

Speaker 15 (20:44):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Thinking of them sloppers? What's up? That's what they are?
I told you, Yeah, yeah, why would there be? Again?
We talked about with these dumb of the day things
or whatever, and I'll usually see them, They'll come across
desk or whatever. Somebody will send them to me if
they're of some particular relevance to the dumb craft that
we talk about. If you have National Broccoli Day, I

(21:07):
understand what's going on there. It's dumb and it's mundane.
But you've got people working for the agg lobby or
something who's behind National text your X Day. I know
a lot of these are just kind of made up
on a whole cloth. But what would be the point
of texting your ex? You know? It's like the people
who still have like like I don't have xes in
my phone. We talked about this. We talked about when
we have whether or not you have too many contacts

(21:29):
in your phone? Right, don't have any x's in my phone,
you know, and we're done. You're dead to me. Well,
my ex wife because again we have kids and she
and I, but even she and I don't text. Once
our kids kind of turned eighteen, we will go weeks
without talking because we don't need to anymore. They're adults.
But text your X day. What do you do? It's up?

(21:50):
What's going on? Then you're gonna get back, you know
for most of you're gonna get back. Why don't you
go get f't or whatever or no response at all?
I mean, I guess if you saw those three dots
there and they were responding to you, you'd be like, oh,
something going on here.

Speaker 10 (22:02):
I mean, I'm still, like I said, I'm friendly ish
with some people that I dated with, like like one
ex girlfriend I'm close with, like we remain friends. And
then others like you don't really talk to, you know,
but they'll comment on something I did online or whatever
like that. That happens. So I don't I guess I
don't see the difference of me.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
I mean, I'm in other people. I got out of
the friggin' blue I got a text about a year
and a half ago from one of my exes and
we were together for a minute. Out of the blue, Hey,
what was the name of that restaurant we went to
in Chicago? She moved to Chicago with me from Pittsburgh.
When I went back home. What was the name of

(22:43):
that restaurant we went to? I'm like, what out of
the blue?

Speaker 10 (22:47):
Right?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
And I like, hey, what's up? You know, Hey was
the name of that restaurant?

Speaker 16 (22:51):
Right?

Speaker 10 (22:51):
Like you guys have been in touch this whole time? Yeah,
I mean it's fine.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I was like, I don't remember, I don't know, probably
I don't know. And that was it. I was like, wow,
So yeah, text your X Day yesterday. Interesting, I thought,
was strange. This is rich Don Jacksonville, Florida.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Listen to that podcast yesterday you and your boss and
co host Rob Anthony were discussing the record the end
of fit Gerald. You post a question if there's a
better song that portrays historical significance and entertainment. It might
be my bias, but I'm going to go with the
Star Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott Key as a
prisoner on a British ship, then seeing the fort's American
flag still standing in the morning Man.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
He gives me chills anyways, hate the show, star smile banner, yay,
listen rich. I know he's military though, so I get it. Yeah,
that's fine, I get that too. But the irony of
being a prisoner in a British ship and your name
is key Man, what a bummer? Boy? That sucks. If
only I had a me. Yeah, okay, star spang a

(23:53):
banner again. Here's my hot take. The reck of the
Edmund Fitzgerald should be the national anthem. I know we haven't,
and some fetish in the United States right by a
Canadian guy, right, despite half the country wiping their ass
with the actual thoughts behind the song. But yeah, let's
make it the Reck of the Edmond Fitzgerald be more
fitting metaphorically. But also, you know this is a good song.

Speaker 17 (24:17):
Only we hailed the Twilights.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Last gleaming who's brought stripe.

Speaker 17 (24:25):
Sun bright sauce wor so galland leave there as the
rock Its were there, and the Twilights last leaving and
the Rockets rag less worst gallandsale there, burst ripes were

(24:53):
all there and the rock Its were there.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
You know anything, we should to pay homage to that
guy who probably boy he probably just couldn't be any
more humiliated than royally screwing up that national anthem. I
think that our new national anthem should be the transcription
of his rendition of the national anthem, and then we
set it to music, and then that's how we all

(25:19):
sing it. You know, think of little kids. You know,
when you're a little kid in school, you're not really
doing this harspangle band that much more pledge of allegiance,
but anytime that you do sing and imagine if we
were all singing it like that guy stumbling over it,
but that was the official desigination. Yeah, for the new
national anthem. I've got some food news here too. Fairly

(25:44):
leave it to a guy named Candy to be born
on Halloween. You and I both watched that John Candy documentary. Yep,
he would have been seventy five years old today. I
heard Stansbury talking about it earlier and I wouldn't have known.
He said today would have been John Candy's birthday. I
was like, oh my god, because he died in ninety four.
He's been gone a long time now, and seventy five

(26:07):
year old John Candy. Think about that. More people dead
from a listeria outbreak, and I thought of you and
your food poisoning of indeterminate origin. And they are looking
at a handful of packaged pasta meals that are being
sold in grocery stores places like Walmart and a Giant Eagle,

(26:32):
you know, just yeah, regular grocery stores, and more illnesses
and deaths tied to recalled pasta salads and meals that
are sold nationwide, sold in Walmart, Trader Joe's, and more
food poisoning in eighteen states. Now you said you didn't
know what you ate that made you sick, right, you

(26:53):
didn't have anything like this. Nope.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
Now I never eat pre packaged stuff. I don't eat
those meals or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh God for you, because you make everything yourself. And
Rob's got the pasta press and he's cranking out linguini.
Don't worry about what I'm cranking out. He's over there
tugging on his rotini on his ZD.

Speaker 10 (27:15):
Yeah, No, I don't. I don't eat a lot of
processed food in general. I understand, so do I. I
just I don't think that. I I still I'm just
still in that weird spot with my stomach, man like
I feel much. Obviously I'm better, I'm fine, but I
still I'm like, I'm not going to trust a fart.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
I was driving home last night and I go, God,
damn it. I jinxed myself because I was driving home
and I felt like I was coming down with something.
Did you No, I don't know what it was, but
it was like the very beginning, I was probably it's
probably just stress or whatever. But I got home, I
threw I ate like a five year old. I threw
ten Dino nuggets in the air fryer and I ate

(27:57):
them up. That's what I ate last night.

Speaker 10 (27:59):
So you didn't see and get your cake on the
way home. You're gonna buy a little hab No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Last time I do is pump myself full of sugar
if I'm not feeling well. Yeah, but today I feel fine.
So I don't know what the hell was going on
last night, but that's all I could think of. I
was like, Rob told me not to jinx myself, and
I jinked myself because I said, I haven't been seeking long, dude.
I know I'm driving home.

Speaker 10 (28:21):
Like when you start thinking like, gosh, when was the
last time I was, I don't even think I've had
a cold in the last five years.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Oh no, no, Now I got the consumption. So this
listeria break is I mean it's a year old, but
six people have died and a couple dozen people have
gotten sick. Now again, grand scheme of things makes for
an interesting headline, but it's not really that big of
a deal. But you know, one of the people who

(28:49):
got sick was pregnant and it killed the kid. So
they're like, yeah, that's going to get some attention. But
this is what happens, by the way, when you fire
all the food inspectors and all the public health officials. Right,
Trump didn't think we needed FDA or us d A
or e PA. He's got Captain brainworm running, you know,
the HHS, So no help there. So she got all

(29:10):
these companies like, yeah, we just don't have we don't
have inspectors anymore, So good luck with all this. But
when I read that, I was like, Rob, I probably
already know the answer. He probably didn't have a box
of Scott and John's shrimp SCAMPI born in Maine. Is

(29:32):
what the logo bond in Maine? Yeah, Scott and John
shrimp scampy.

Speaker 10 (29:36):
Yeah, I was gonna buy one, I'm not sure it
would be Scott and John's from Scott and John shrimp
scampy though from Bangor Yeah, freaking stuff is incredible.

Speaker 9 (29:45):
Guy, I'm sitting right here by coworker at Saint Mary
Lewiston Medical Center.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Whereas bottoms and there was no way those shrimp came
from Maine. Probably not, No, they were the the the
finished product was probably shipped from Yeah. Sure, ninety nine
point nine percent of shrimp comes from like Indonesia? Is
that true? Yeah? Well, also if yeah, if you are

(30:12):
somebody who spends a lot of time and money at McDonald's,
they have instituted a new system now that pennies are
no longer being produced, and they've got a handy dandy
They've got a handy dandy system at some of the
stores posted for you. So if you're really not good,
these are for people paying in cash. Here's what you

(30:35):
need to know, and then it runs down. It's got
a list of how rounding works if you're paying cash
because there are no pennies or they're getting rid of pennies,
and then they proceed to tell you each if it
ends in one center, two cents round down to zero.
They have a whole laminated thing there explaining how rounding works,

(30:55):
and you're like, I just want to filet a fish,
it's all. You know. It's pretty interesting, right. They're getting
out ahead of it though, I guess, but it just
it seems like a skill that you learned in like
third grade. I mean you get to six. Yeah, that's
from McDonald's location in Chicago. I guess what surprises me
is every time you hear about something where they go,

(31:17):
we're going to discontinue fill in the blank. It's always
like by twenty thirty five there will be no more pennies.
But this, all of a sudden, everybody's like, oh yeah,
we're gonna not making pennies next week. So I never know,
you know what, they can get up and run in
quickly or not unless this is an exaggeration, But I
don't know when they're going to stop doing this this one.

(31:38):
Maybe they already did this one. I think makes a
lot of sense getting rid of the penny, yeah, partly. Yeah,
they've been talking about it for a long time. I
have a problem with it.

Speaker 10 (31:46):
And if they're about to do a run of them,
that's the perfect time to just stop right, like, yeah,
we're about to make eight hundred billion more pennies.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
I mean thirty years ago, ITAUS. You know, thirty years
ago Australia was still making two cent coins, right, and
so they stop making those. You know, different countries around
the world have had some weird currency. But again I
mentioned this before, but I still the people I feel
worse for are the companies that make the take a penny,
leave a penny tray. What are they gonna do? Rob

(32:16):
change it? What is big? Take a penny, leave a penny,
gonna do easy because nobody's gonna leave nickels. Nobody's leaving nickels.
Take a nickel, leave a nickel.

Speaker 10 (32:26):
I'm telling you, Nichols are gonna be the next penny.
They're gonna be like, who wants this nickel? This is
all It's a trash coin. It's like a hand of
me five cents. It's it's it's crap. It's five pennies,
the smallest of the coins we make. It's like a
it's like a ruble. Wow, be gone with you, Nicholas. Yeah,
that's what's gonna happen. Dimes all the way. Uh huh,

(32:48):
there's some food in this thing.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
She's a dime, top of the line and big behind
the Allen Carr Show.

So tomorrow night, two hours to midnight here on the buzzard. Jesus,

(34:35):

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, oh my okay. He still sing his ass off,
by the way too. Anytime I go see him, I
always pucker thinking, is this the time he's gonna sound terrible?
Still sounds great?

Speaker 7 (34:49):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
I haven't seen him in a minute. Last time I
saw him was at the Agora, probably a couple of
years ago. Oh I know when it was. It was
the week that they fired Bill and Mary. I had
tickets for King Diamond that week and it saved my
life because I was in uh, such bad spirits that week.
It was election week, so you knew that was going

(35:10):
to be terrible, and it was also the week that
the company fire Bill and married and I had King
Diamond the middle of that week at the Agora, and
it was everything I needed. And I don't know that
I've seen him since, but I've seen him a handful
of times and seen him. I'd love to, but I

(35:31):
didn't realize not everybody's cup of tea, but love King Diamond.
So yeah, tomorrow night, two hours to midnight is our
metal show here on the buzzard. Alan, is David Lee
Roth going to be handing out candy today? All right? Good?
And little toy whistles? I heard they're handing out whistles day. Yeah,

(35:57):
all right, it's like what a ghost says. Almost whoa? Alan?
You mentioned it was John Candy's seventy fifth birthday today,
a he would have never made it to seventy five,
which I think is absolutely true. It's not nice, well,
but they do. They do describe the fact that he

(36:21):
was a guy who I think thought that his power
was in being big, and it was not a priority
of his to lose weight. But he still drank a lot,
and he smoked, and he did to coke, and he
was you know, that did nothing to diminish the fact
that everybody who knew him just thought he was the nicest,
sweetest soul there was. But he was still in showbiz
and he was still a comedian, and that can take

(36:41):
a toll on you, and so something was going to
get him.

Speaker 10 (36:43):
Did they mention anything about coke in that document they did. Yeah,
I didn't catch that. Yeah, I mentioned that before.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
There was this guy that they kept cutting to when
they would talk to people throughout they would cut to
interstitials of like friends and colleagues, and his wife was
in it. And there was this gray haired guy and
it wasn't sure what his connection was. I don't know
if he was his biographer or what he was. But yeah,
they would talk about there was a point about halfway
through where they were talking about how he had gained

(37:10):
a lot of weight, Yes, but he hadn't really changed
his habits. And they were like, that's why he didn't
like going to doctors, because the doctor was going to
tell him, you got to stop doing this and this
and this, and he didn't want to stop doing this
in this so it wasn't like he was he was
out of his mind, right, But he drank and he
smoked and he did cocaine and so they're like, yeah,

(37:32):
this is not gonna you know, and he's gonna end well.
And by the way, my favorite part of that, I
completely forgot that he was a part owner of the
Toronto Argonauts. I completely forgot about that part in John
Candy history that he and Wayne Gretzky and another guy,
unfortunately who ended up being jailed for fraud. This business
guy that they went into ownership with for the Toronto Argonauts,

(37:54):
which is like the big that'd be like the New
York Giants of the Canadian Football League. And he was
part owner of that and they won the Gray Cup
one the first year of his ownership, and it was
a big, big deal. But anyway, the John Candy documentaries
called I Like Me, It's over there on Amazon. He
would have been seventy five today, but this person said,

(38:15):
it's also your boy Vanilla ICE's birthday. Oh, Rob van Winkle, Hey, yeah,
he's fifty eight years old today. How about that? Vanilla Ice,
the pride of Dallas, Texas. Speaking of Toronto, the Blue
Jays can become World Series champions tonight. Let's see that

(38:38):
it happens. I'm gonna have my What am I doing tonight?
I don't know, but I'm gonna have my Toronto Blue
Jays cap on tonight. Rope, are you they can sew
it up tonight? They're up three games to two. I
was looking at an article of the teams that have
come back from a three to two deficit and won
the World Series, most notably the Chicago Cubs when they

(39:02):
played the Indians in the World Series in twenty sixteen.
They came back from a three to two deficit the
eighty six Mets right Bill Buckner, and so the curse
of the Bambino would live on for another twenty years
after that because they beat the Red Sox. Eighty seven
Twins are on this list a lot. By the way,

(39:24):
twins are eighty five Royals, eighty two Cardinals, so it
obviously can be done well.

Speaker 10 (39:34):
As of right now, there's a seventy percent likelihood, is
what they're given the lines they're given, that they win
the World Series.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
The Toronto Blue Jays, yep. I can't imagine a more
fitting end to this, given everything that's gone on between
the United States and Canada over the last year, for
the Blue Jays to be the World Series champions. And again,
I don't have any malice or animosity towards the Dodgers.
They're just not on my radar and the Blue Jays
are one of my teams, so I wouldn't even have

(40:02):
a dog in this fight. Yeah, Blue Jays in Toronto.
If they win there in Toronto, it's gonna be and
I'm gonna be there in a couple of weeks. You
bet your ass a couple of weeks mid December, I'm
gonna be. I'm gonna snatch up so much Blue Jays
World Series crap. You're not gonna believe it.

Speaker 10 (40:20):
I mean it's they're obviously predicting a close game money
lines plus one eighteen, So it's not I mean there,
it's gonna be. It's they definitely are a team that
could seal it tonight.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
I hope. I don't know. I have seventeen thousand dollars
on the Toronto Blue Jays. I feel really confident, ro
really confident.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
They say, what your money where your mouth is? Yeah,
well that's what I'm doing. Let's see your seventeen thousand
dollars bet yep, will pay out thirty seven thousand dollars.
Yea done, Yeah done, yep. That's like job quitting money,

(41:02):
Rob sure is thirty seven thousand would be funny. People
are like, how much money would you to be such
for life? Hey, if you want a lottery, would you
quit your job? You know a lot of people say, no,
how much money would you do to quit your job?
Thirty seven thousand dollars. How do you like that? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (41:21):
Yeah, I mean the good news is the Blue Jays
have two shots at it, which means all they have
to do is win game six or game seven.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
So six seven, yeah, six seven? Thank yep. Yeah, you
just made every teacher in the audience pucker. Oh. Absolutely. Yeah.
My daughter called me from from school today. At lunchtime.
My youngest Cali uh, and they did uh.

Speaker 10 (41:47):
She's like, the lunch people just all did a skit
and I'm like really, She's like, yeah, all the like
lunch ladies came out of the back and they did
this skit. And she texts me the video and they
were performing lunch lady land and she's like, what the
hell is this?

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Dad? Oh god, she doesn't know. I was like, you
don't know lunch lady.

Speaker 10 (42:08):
So I sent her the clip and she and she
farly was alive, takes the time to watch it.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
She goes, Yep, still sucks, and I'll talk to you.
There was hogies and grinders, hogies and grinders meat off sandwich. Yeah,
so they it's not for everybody.

Speaker 18 (42:24):
No.

Speaker 10 (42:25):
So then they played Bingo and the it was that
video that we saw where like the sixty nine happens
on the screen and no one reacts, and I guess
it was like B sixty seven.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
In the whole room was like, yeah, yeah, B nine.
I hope your tumor is B nine. That's like the
old A guy in where is this? There's a guy
in Pleasant Grove, Utah who has been driving his nineteen
ninety one Geo Metro for almost thirty five years. My

(42:55):
wife used to have a geo Prism something I don't know.
By the time she traded it in right after we
came to Cleveland, like the side mirrors were bolted on.
I mean it was, you know, this thing still had
some get up and go to it. And this guy
has been driving the car for that for a long
long time, and it's just everything's barely hanging on. But
he loved the car, and he finally gave it up

(43:20):
and they dropped a two thousand pound pumpkin on his
car to destroy it at the he haul farms in
Pleasant Grove, Utah. One of our bureau chiefs in Utah
listening on iHeartRadio sent me this. They entered the giant
pumpkin into the Giant Pumpkin Festival came in at first
place at nineteen hundred pounds, and they dropped it on

(43:42):
the Geo Metro. If you're watching the live stream, I'm
gonna show it to you. They will also repeat it
in slow motion. But they gathered a crowd, they got
a crane and they played some music. It was a
whole big thing. Here this massive, massive pumpkin. Then here
comes the pumpkin on top of the car, dropping on

(44:04):
the nineteen ninety one g O Metro. There, Oh, how
about that? Fought for the whole family. Looks like it's
in like the back forty of an apartment complex or
something that's and now they're dropping it in the super
slow motion. So a nineteen hundred dollars, a nineteen hundred
pound rather pumpkin is dropped from a crane about fourteen

(44:27):
stories high onto the nineteen ninety one g O Metro.
The good tables, hot boil, how about that?

Speaker 10 (44:37):
It's the clear solution for gordam.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
Wmms rob on social media, the clear What was it again?
The clear solution to Gordon? To Gordon right g O
U R D O M the Gordon. Oh my goodness,
it didn't look like there was a lot going on
in that community. Other than that, it's brushing of that vehicle.
That's why they have a giant pumpkin festival, because they're like,

(45:06):
you know, that would be coming in here where there's
a regular sized pumpkins. This is a giant pumpkin festival.

Speaker 10 (45:12):
And go back to that the slow motion part of
the video, and the only thing I could think, because
I'm seeing it a couple of seconds behind it, the
only thing I could think is like, that's the view
everyone's toilet has, Like right as it's about to happen
and you're sitting down, it's got that perfect you can
see what I'm talking about it, Yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Know what I mean. That's what every poor toilet has
to see. Another part of this is they were whipping
pumpkins around on trebuchets and catapults toward cars that were
out there in the back forty and trying to smash
these cars. One of them hit a mini van there
and that whole thing lands right on like an old

(45:57):
I'm a voyager or something. I don't know. Hey, listen,
it's harmless fun. Yeah, you get a local junkyard to
haul these puppies away. If you don't listen to us
on iHeartRadio like our bureau chief there in Utah. You
can drop us voicemails on the after hours line at
number is two one six nine six eighty nine three. Alan.

Speaker 8 (46:19):
You guys were talking earlier in yesterday's show about eighties movies.
My brother used to work in a video story when
I was like time eleven twelve, and so I had
access to all these crazy movies, sci fi, horror, what
have you. The craziest one when I was a little
kid that scared me to death was children Shouldn't Play
with Dead Things. If you're not familiar, look it up.

(46:42):
It's very bad. But as a little kid, you were
scared to death. Zombies, hippies, baking a movie anyways, when.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Jacky Sarah children Shouldn't play with Dead Things. I've vaguely
remember that, but I thought it was called something Else,
super low budget movie from probably fifty years ago. I
remember that the guy who directed it was also the

(47:13):
guy who would go on to do Porkys, so this
was like an early horror thing for him. But it
was a zombie flick, as that guy describes there. I
don't know if it's streaming anywhere, but it might be
worth looking into. But yeah, if you're a little kid,
that's going to scare you. If you're a gen x er,
of course you'll remember the Faces of Death series. But

(47:35):
I don't know if children shouldn't play with dead things
is available for streaming, that it might be worth looking into.
Margaret Hi hi e.

Speaker 18 (47:48):
So you guys were talking about the John Candy documentary
and which was amazing, but one thing with his birthday.
I didn't realize that his dad died on his birthday
when he was five.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Yes, he did. That was in the documentary.

Speaker 18 (48:02):
Yeah, yeah, like that's going to mess you up for life.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Well, and that's when he was worried too. All throughout
the thing. He's like, you know, my dad died of
hard stuff and his brother got real sick, and so
these were big guys, you know, and so it's there's
a big shock that John Candy had a heart attack
and died. But it was still no less sad.

Speaker 18 (48:20):
You know, but this and they were commenting, I don't
know how true this is, but like that on his
on the day that his dad died, you know, of course,
they were trying to celebrate its fifth birthday and they
just kind of like pretended it didn't happen and they
continued to celebrate it.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Yeah, that's how people did stuff back then. Yeah. Hey,
they bought a couple of candles in dad's eyes and
he blew them out, and then they went and had
cake mark right then, you know there's Margaret by the way,
I buried the lead. He was talking about that movie
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, and I said that
the director would go on to direct Porky's. He would

(48:54):
also go on to direct a movie called A Christmas Story.
So Bob Clark is the guy who directed that and
but started with Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Thing? Not
familiar with that? Is there like a local connection or
something to that movie? Rob me after the show? Yeah, ah,
there's Yeah. A friend of mine just saw pet Cemetery
for the first time, the original one, really, and I
was like wow, because I just remember the Ramones saw.

(49:16):
I mean, I remember Pet Cemetery, but they did the
Ramones did Pet Cemetery right anam want to be Baby
stands Where I was talking earlier. Somebody made a list
of the not the best horror movies of all time,
the best horror movies so far in the twenty first century,
the best modern horror movies, and there's some. There weren't

(49:38):
a lot of left turns on the list, right, they
were like, oh, Hereditary and you know, I don't know
if I Saw the Devil was on there. There's a
movie I love. It's a Korean movie called I Saw
the Devil. But you know, Hereditarian and the Black Phone
and paranormal activity there. There's plenty of the Ring Saint Maude,

(50:00):
a movie people told me to see, but it's really
only good in the last thirty seconds. Literally, the last
thirty seconds of the movie is dynamite. But but again,
when I hear this song randomly, if it'll come up,
I instantly associate it with the movie Pet Cemetery. I
know it's called pet Cemetery. But there are a lot
of songs rob that you immediately ascribe to movies when

(50:23):
you hear them. Tons, Yeah, like listen, I can't help
that I think of a Serbian film every time I
hear Black Mass, Right. I mean, okay, it's just some
songs they stick in your crang and nothing I can
do about it. But I was thinking about, I mean,
what's a good example, Like some some songs okay, like

(50:45):
stuck in the middle with you, I think of reservoir dogs. Yeah,
that's right. What about Layla?

Speaker 10 (50:52):
What do you think of when you hear that last
like when the music changes and it switches to the piano.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
I think of them finding the frozen guys on the
meg in Goodfellas when they open the semi truck and
they're all hanging there. Yeah, there's a bunch of those
in Goodfellas.

Speaker 10 (51:06):
Uh oh, what's the name of the song? And then
he kissed me that scene at the Copa okay, right,
when he's when he's walking through the back of the
of the Copa caban and they bring out the table
for him.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
They put the candle on it. That's the song that's playing,
and then he kissed me. Who But that's like a
Martha and the Van Dela Crystals. I think something like that. Yeah, yeah,
some old timey band. But but the Scorsese movies have
a ton of those kind of rolling stones monkey man
when he has that car scene in Goodfellas. But yeah,
there's when the helicopter's chasing him and he keeps looking up.
Oh it's oh god, what a movie. Yeah, But and

(51:40):
that's just one movie.

Speaker 19 (51:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Oh, Jesus man, I I there's a ton of them. Yeah,
are there any others that that that I mean I
was thinking of? Uh well, I mean obviously like the
Halloween theme. You're not talking about themes though, you're talking about.

Speaker 10 (51:55):
Songs in songs in a movie like yous that just
will always stick into your head.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Yeah, I would think. I already said Steelers Wiels. I mean,
if I hear one of those dumb starship songs, I
think of Kim Cattrall turning back into a Manica, you
know what I mean? Like or like if I hear
Fortunate Son, it's gonna be a Vietnam movie. If I
hear cc R, it's gonna be in one of those

(52:20):
Vietnam movies. It's gonna be in Platoon, or it's gonna
be in Born in the Fourth of July, one of.

Speaker 10 (52:28):
Those What about uh Bohemian Rhapsody, Wayne's World?

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Yeah right, that will alway. Queen movie.

Speaker 10 (52:35):
I never saw the Queen, but that one will always
stick into my head.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
When he's in the Mirthmobile. Yes he's giving you a
no honk guarantee.

Speaker 8 (52:45):
Yeah. Uh.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Tiny Dancer, Oh, one of my favorite movies ever. Tiny Dancer.
It's gonna be.

Speaker 10 (52:57):
As soon as I say it, You're gonna go Yeah, yeah,
tiny oh what almost famous?

Speaker 1 (53:02):
You know, I don't remember. I saw that movie one
time and I don't really remember it. I love that movie.
That's Kate Hudson singing the song. Yeah, where is My
Mind from Pixies? Oh? Where is my Mind? From the Pixies?
That I don't know? Fight Club club? Right stop stop? Yeah.

(53:24):
I always think of the end of Fight Club when
the bombs are going off and that. You know, what
about Frank black Boy? He got paid from this song
because it's used in so many things. Now, how about
mister low Oh, Paul Fiction, Yeah, yeah, Dick Dale Yah yeah.

(53:47):
Or Commanchee. That's when bing Raim's getting raped, remember commanche Anette?
Where's my command? Oh? Man? Let me think that's when
Bruce Willis is going down in the basement to find

(54:09):
ving Rains and the Nazis have him bent over the bar. Whatever. Yeah,
how about it might be too easy? What about the
Power of Love? Huey Lewis, Oh, I'm I'm I was
thinking Peter Satara back to the Future. Yeah, how about

(54:34):
those are too easy? How about Mad World? Mad World.
This would be a Halloween movie for a lot of people.
For some people, it's their entire identity. What's the Gary
jeweles the Rabbit?

Speaker 5 (54:47):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (54:47):
What's the don Yes? Which I believe is maybe still
a slur, but nevertheless that a lot of people love
that movie. How about Sweet Jane? Remember Sweet Jane? Couple junk?
Is it Natural Born Killers? I want to look at
it this morning. Some of Robert Downey Junior's finest work
in Natural Born Killers.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
The Allen cock Show on one hundred seems a little.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Unfair that you can watch our live stream but we
can't see you. But we'll fix that tonight. Outside your
window The cock Show on one hundred point seven WMMS,

(55:42):
I put a spell on you because of I mean,
this is in a ton of movies, right, Oh yeah,
the Screaming Jay Hawkins from Cleveland, Ohio. Oh is he really?
Oh yeah? I didn't know that he's got like four
hundred kids. I mean we I don't know that we

(56:07):
would have Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson if we didn't
have Screaming Jay Hawkins. Alice Cooper, by the way, who
just got into the National Radio Hall of Fame, Hey,
good on him, good for him? Yeah, screaming. Jay Hawkins
born in Cleveland, Ohio. Died in France. Born and raised

(56:28):
in Cleveland.

Speaker 10 (56:30):
I thought of one in the break Yeah, unchained melody.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Ghost, That's not what I thought of. But is that ghost?
Isn't that when they are do the hands thing, when
they're doing the pottery. Isn't that unchained melody that? I
don't know.

Speaker 10 (56:48):
I only seem ghost ones good day for it. I
was thinking top gun, excuse me, miss okay.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
I always think of those those pop song dajre Gun
yeah and take My Breath Away and that kind of stuff. Yeah,
here's one for you that somebody reminded me of. People
were obviously blowing me up in the break.

Speaker 10 (57:08):
And right, I can name that disturbing scene in one note.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
I'd f me all night. Ted Levine from Parma Heights,
the Great ted Levine. Now the artist went by q
Lazarus and she was like a She had one song,
this was like a big song from the Silence of
the Lambs, and then she never had anything else. I

(57:38):
don't think. I think she died a few years ago,
but she was like a cab driver or something. She
moved overseas. She's like, you know, seeking her fame and fortune.
She got herself like a kind of went to Chrissy
hind route. She got herself a British band, q Lazarus.
A song was called Goodbye Horses.

Speaker 10 (57:57):
A lot of people said see you again from the
Fast and the Furious movies.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
I've only seen one or two of those, and I
don't think i'd be able to pick out the music.
It's that Whiz Khalifa song, Oh okay, it's been a
long day. Well now, And immediately you know exactly what
it is. Cose Yes, she back on an Eric Cartman

(58:27):
kind of vibe there, lust for Life and a ton
of movies. Right. You think of you and McGregor coming
out of the toilet in train spotting when you hear
lust for Life? Right? And can you hear me Knock?
And all those stone songs like Scorsese uses them, Jonathan
dem you use him for blow.

Speaker 10 (58:44):
I'm always love you.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Whitney Houston, Oh the Bodyguard. Yeah. I also somebody said
American Girl in Silence of the Lambs, and I think
of that too. That's when the girl's driving and he
pulls her over. He pretends like he's trying to get
a uh a couch out of his van. Right when
Buffalo Bill gets the girl into his van and then
puts her in the pit the lotion in the basket.

(59:08):
She's singing the American Girl in her car from Tom Petty.

Speaker 10 (59:11):
Yeah, it rubs the motion on its skin or else
it gets the hose again.

Speaker 12 (59:18):
You let me go al press charge of that punt.

Speaker 10 (59:23):
Now it places the lotion in the basket. Now you
know that the one one that probably the most famous
one I didn't even think of.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Somebody just texted in in your eyes from saying anything,
well that one. I am a tiger, Oh from Shindler's List. No,
try again, Bucks, Stevens, Bucks, Are you okay over there?

(59:58):
Of course he's rock?

Speaker 10 (01:00:01):
Yeah, yes, but that is I mean, you can't hear
that song without instantly thinking of rock.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Now, does Afternoon Delight make you think of Anchorman? Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:00:10):
Okay, that's the only thing that I think of. Okay,
And the same with Old School and uh, dust in
the Wind.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
You're my boy blue. Now, I only saw Old School
in the theater once, and that he was probably twenty
years old, right like, so I don't remember that. Yeah,
that was one for me. Okay, dust in the wind
from Kansas. Do you remember who sang afternoon Delight?

Speaker 10 (01:00:32):
Starland Vocal Band, The Starland Vocal Band.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Correct, how's that for a deep really quite simple. It's
kind of like.

Speaker 12 (01:00:45):
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tights, gonna grab
some afternoon delight.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
My motto's always been when it's right, it's right. Why
wait until the middle of a cold, dark night? Things
a little ler in the light of day. By the way,
are those they're real harmonies? Yeah, they nailed those harmonies,
by the way, we did wow.

Speaker 12 (01:01:12):
And we know the night is always gonna be there
any way.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Freaking up.

Speaker 6 (01:01:19):
He's working on.

Speaker 12 (01:01:20):
My time, looking forward to a little afternoon DyLight. Robin
six and Stones together make a sparty nine, and the
thought of loving you is getting so excited. Guy rockets
in fight.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
Delight.

Speaker 11 (01:01:36):
That's happen.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Afternoon Delight.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
You don't know, Ron, that sounds kind of crazy, sounds
like you have mental problems, man, Yeah, you got mental problems, man, Yeah,
it really does.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Man, Afternoon Delight, it's perfectly Yeah. That was before Steve
Correll really blew up too.

Speaker 10 (01:02:03):
Right on the crash. Yeah, because he had just done.
What was that Jim Carrey movie Ruse Almighty, Rust Almighty
when he had the when he was in control of
his tail prompter.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
And David Keckner he's had a hard time since too.
That guy keeps getting duys. But he's a funny dude.
Everybody in the livestroom just saw it. But the headline
that I thought was funny. Listen, not everybody can be
writing hard hitting stories. Somebody has to write. Here's what
to expect after daylight Saving time ends. Okay, listen, I

(01:02:34):
think we've been through this before. The clocks will go
back on Sunday. Here's what to expect.

Speaker 10 (01:02:41):
It's gonna be dark and you're going to be a
miserable son of a bitch for six months.

Speaker 9 (01:02:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
This is Ohio, which gets more cloud cover than the
Pacific Northwest year to year, so yeah, when it gets
dark at noon. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:02:55):
I was talking to uh, got somebody out here I
don't remember the other day and they were like, oh, Curtis,
I think, and we were sort of trying to talk
about how the weather was the same here as it
is in New England, but you actually see the sun
in New England. He's like, what do you mean, And
it was like, you go outside and the sun's out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Yes, it's but the sun is out.

Speaker 10 (01:03:19):
But you can feel the sun, you can see the sun,
you can see the blue sky. It's not just different
versions of gray for six months, you know. And he's like,
so like, every day you see this. I'm like, every
day unless it's raining or you know, like a snowstorm
or something, but every day uses his sun's out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
Yeah. And a couple of friends will live in Seattle
years ago, they're look, it's so clody. I'm like, come
to Ohio, bro. Yeah, seriously, like, scientifically, we get more
cloud cover than any other place in the United States.

Speaker 10 (01:03:45):
I should have known one of our former colleagues, Carletta.
She worked on the country station Yeap. She when I
came to interview for the job, she said do you
like the sun? And I said, what the hell does
that mean? And she goes, well, because you don't see
the sun here in the winter, you don't see the sun.
And I was like okay, and then I was like,
oh my god, it's been a month I haven't seen

(01:04:06):
the sun. And they started keeping track of it, and
I think it was it was almost a full three
weeks that I hadn't seen like a full sunny day
in Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
It's like, wow, yeah, it's pretty wildlake effect. Well, and
that's why when it starts to warm up like a
little bit, and it's it's broadly true of the Midwest.
It's a hacky joke, but it's like, you know, once
you come out of the winter time, like all you
need is like thirty nine degree weather and you're in
shorts because you're just so excited to have anything even remotely.
You know, the sun's out just a little bit, but

(01:04:37):
I like that what to expect when daylight saving time ends. Hmmm.
You think that article would have been a couple of
lines long, but nope, it was a whole thing old
time rock and roll. Oh, Tom Cruise, what's the uh?

Speaker 10 (01:04:53):
One of his early movies in his underwear runs across slides,
risky issness?

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Right? Oh what was that? That's all you need from
that song? I agree with you, even if you're a
Bob Seeger fan. That's probably one of your least favorite
songs by far, and the only one I can say
I don't like of his songs. I mean, listen, Bobby Seegs,

(01:05:22):
he understood the assignment he did shake Down for Beverly
Hills cop. He's good in a pinch. Here's two from
the same movie for you, Yeah sousa studio American psycho.
Hip to Be Square American Psycho. Two very very impactful scenes.
Yeah yeah, Hip to Be Square? Do you like you?

(01:05:44):
We losing the news? Oh? That is synonymous with that movie.

Speaker 16 (01:05:49):
In the morning, if my face is a little puffy,
I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches.
After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep
poor cleanser lotion. In the shower, use a water activated
jail closer, and then a honey onmond body scrub and
on the face an exfoliating gel scrum. This is what
you said, facial mask, which.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
I leave on for ten minutes while I pess the goat.
This is me and the more. I always use an
act with a little What do you use for alcohol?
I really alcohol drives your face out, Yeah, it makes
you look older.

Speaker 16 (01:06:23):
Then moisturizer, yeah, then an anti aging eye bomb, followed
by final moisturizing protective loader.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
Protective lotion is what we do. Yes, I put that
retinol on a lotion on my skin. At night and
it's like I have needles in my skin. That's how
I know it's working. Rob got a multi tiered uh
facial cleaning strategy strategy. Hasn't heard it eight working Allan
afternoon delight makes me think of the movie PCU. God,

(01:06:53):
remember PCU. I love that movie so much. When Jeremy
Piven still had a little bit of hair. Remember years
later he'd like act like he didn't really get plugs,
but he did. I can't say I remember that movie enough.
I love it. Yeah, the late Jessica Walter. I think
George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic played in the film at
the end of the Big Climax as a concert from them.

(01:07:14):
I think of mud Honey covering Pump It Up by
Elvis Costello. That's what I think of from PCU, the
good song by Elvis Costello, pump It Up. I like
radio radio. I like a lot of Elvis Costeino. Our
friend Amy is like a massive fan of Elvis Costello.
I like enough of his music. El like it's okay.

(01:07:37):
His voice is a little grading for me over a
long period of time, but I like enough of his songs.
I just wish more songs sounded like pump it up.
That's the for me. That's the song man. Yeah, but
the mud Honey version because this was in the grunge era, right,
PCU was probably nineteen ninety three. Fat John Favreau was
in there too. Wo yeah yeah, yep. Anyway, Oh, Gene

(01:08:23):
Simmons left a message for us. You know he checks
in occasionally now that the band is retired. I think
that he he hasn't officially been on the show in
a little while, but he'll check in occasionally with messages
on the app. I think he's just bored. He calls
us from his twenty twelve Honda Pilot. The guy knows
how to stretch a dollar. You'll say that, Jane.

Speaker 14 (01:08:44):
Simmons again, kiss still is myself. I have an iPhone eight.
I apologize because you do acknowledge the cannibalistic and always
underground dwellers is what I was originally mesinating about. I'll

(01:09:06):
have to try to clear some space up on my
iPhone eight here.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
So well, he's got an iPhone eight, twenty twelve Hound,
a pilot and iPhone eight. Guys smart, No wonder is
so rich. Thank you. I'm always happy to hear from you. Pal. Yeah, yeah, no.
We were talking about movies and I said I refer
to someone as a chud and all these people were like,
you mean the cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller. Yeah, yes, I do.

(01:09:31):
And that's when the chuds came at me. Of course,
you'll have a bad impression of New York if you
only focus on the pimps and the chuts. Yeah, pimps
and chuds. Speaking of Kiss, By the way, there's a
DJ who just goes about remixing other people's songs. He
calls himself Moonlight. I don't know if he's a big
deal or not. I think maybe he does Vegas shows.
He's remixed rock and roll all night. Have you heard

(01:09:53):
that the Kiss Moonlight remix.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
Was Now.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
I don't know who was asking for this, but listen.

Speaker 8 (01:10:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Music is a fluid art form and you can do
what you want to with it. But I'm curious if
Jeane has probably streamed that on his iPhone eight. I
don't know if he has. But okay, hey Jeff, yes,
I'll up going. Guys, how are you so? Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:10:46):
I'm fantastic in yourself?

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Hanging in boy? All right?

Speaker 8 (01:10:50):
How about the song crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Horses, Crazy Horses. Yes, I don't do I know that's
song crazy Horses well by the Osmond's. Yeah, what movie?
I don't think I know that.

Speaker 8 (01:11:09):
Well, I'm not sure it's in a movie.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
I was just asking about the song, but that in
my mind it's.

Speaker 15 (01:11:14):
In a movie.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
Wait a second, Jeff, Yeah, we were okay, So we
were talking about songs that you immediately associate with a film,
and you thought of crazy Horses from the Osmonds.

Speaker 10 (01:11:27):
There's a well, yes, huh, but it's not necessarily did
you move?

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
But how'd you pull that one out?

Speaker 8 (01:11:37):
Well, you've never placed crazy horses on your your late
night show two minutes to midnight?

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
Oh, I see, I got Thank you, Jeff. You wasn't
I talking about? I think He's trolley. That was helpful.
All right, No, I've I've never heard of Hopefully you'll
forgive me for not keeping up with the Osmond's discography,
but I've never heard crazy horses the Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 5 (01:12:07):
On one hundred point seven.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Call The Alan Cox Show. Thanks for turning me on,
allowing me to spend this time with you. I hope
I can turn you one two.

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
One six, five seven eight one double oh seven or
one eight hundred three four eight.

Speaker 5 (01:12:24):
One double oh seven.

Speaker 20 (01:12:45):
I'm a awhere with the Chinese menu in his hand,
walking through the streets of Soho.

Speaker 15 (01:12:51):
In the rain.

Speaker 13 (01:12:54):
He was in the fuck a place called.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
The Whole Flocks. Warren Zevon getting into Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. Finally, one week from tomorrow night out
there in La a comedian Michael Longfellow is going to
join us in about a half an hour. He's doing
the weekend at Hilarities. You may not know the name,
but you probably recognize the face. He was on SNL.

(01:13:16):
I think for a couple of seasons. I don't think
he was one and done. I think he was on
for a few seasons. But a funny dude, and we'll
chat with him briefly. I was thinking about certain performers.
They refer to them in comedy as a comedians, comedian
and other than Dave Attell, who every comedian loves and adores.
Usually when they say a comedians comedian, that's a nice

(01:13:39):
way of saying, boy, they're awesome, but they just never
found a massive audience. That's how I always think of
warren Zevon, because this was a guy who worked with
and for a lot of much bigger artists. Right, all
of his peers were like Jackson Brown, and you know
he started this song was a song he took to
the Everly Brothers. He was writing songs and playing piano

(01:14:01):
for the Everly Brothers and they wanted nothing to do
with it. They didn't think it was right for them.
And if people regretted that, I don't know. You know,
when you hear actors talk about, they go, do you
ever regret turning down a role? I always think, yeah,
but it would have been a completely different movie with
you in it. It might not have been a massive

(01:14:21):
hit with you in it, you know what I mean.
I mean, it's definitely his style that makes the song
the song. Like when they talk about one of the
famous stories that comes to mind is Will Smith turned
down the Matrix because he just couldn't see around it right,
And then it becomes it might have stunk with Will Smith.
So you never know, you know, I mean, the script
can only do so much anyway, But this song in itself, right,

(01:14:43):
Mick Fleetwood and John mcviee are the rhythm section on
this song. Oh really, Jackson Brown produced it. Yeah, So
it was like warren Zevon was always surrounded by people
who were, you know, because he was a very specific taste.
My ex wife sent me an article from the New
York Times couple days ago that said, after thirty three years,
warren Zevon is finally getting his due, and she's like, God,

(01:15:05):
remember we used to go see warren Zevon all. I
mean literally the first couple of years I was in Cleveland,
he came here like every nine months. Because by that
time he wasn't selling a ton of albums. I don't
even know if he had a label. So whatever label
he was on, they weren't going to pay for some
big tours, so he was relegated to doing a tour

(01:15:26):
where he was it was him playing a guitar and
playing a piano, and so they were super stripped down.
But his songs are so good you didn't care. And
so there was a period of time where I was
seeing warren Zevon every nine months. And I mean it
was a younger girlfriend of mine in college who got
me into warren Zevon. She just thought Excitable Boy was

(01:15:47):
a hilarious song. And I started doing a deep dive
on warren Zevon after that so like nineteen ninety one,
and it was right around the time that he put
out an acoustic album. That was about the time where
they were like, yeah, you haven't had any hits in
a long time, so we're not going to pay for
some massive tour with a band. And so he had
did a live album called Learning to Flinch where it
was him playing an acoustic guitar and playing piano. That

(01:16:09):
last album is still pretty tough to listen to. That
heart yeah, yeah, when he knew he was dying, so
he calls all, like I said, all these peers, Springsteen
and Jackson Brown, Yeah, because they know he's dying, and
they're like, this is one last hurrah. And it was
a decidedly His song with Springsteen is called Disorder in
the House and uh, it's a it's a it's a bop.

Speaker 10 (01:16:33):
Well, Don Henley's on keep Me in Your Heart right, Yes, yeah,
all those guys are on that last album, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
So David Letterman will induct Warren Zevon into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame next Saturday in Los Angeles,
and there's going to be a lot of people. They've
talked about how Taylor Momson will be fronting Sound Garden
with Jerry Cantrell and.

Speaker 7 (01:16:56):
And I.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
Don't either, and Bad Company Rogers and Simon Kirk are
going to play together for the first time in a
long time. So I think that I want to watch
the Rock Hall Inductions live, which is a long affair
if you've ever gone. I used to go every year
when it was in Cleveland. Didn't go the last time,
I don't think, or maybe I did. I don't remember it.

(01:17:20):
Like they moved it over to Rocket Arena. It used
to be a public hall, which was kind of a
more intimate affair, and our access to it over the
time that I've been here was diminished.

Speaker 20 (01:17:33):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
This company used to have a table on the floor
at the Rock Hall Inductions and then it just became
like we're lucky to get tickets. But it's still a
lot of fun if you've ever gone. But it is
a long night. The full thing is like five hours long,
and they so they air it live and then they
chop it down. You can watch an abridged version of it,

(01:17:55):
and then on New Year's Day. I think Disney airs
it in like a tight two hours where you can
watch the Rock Hall Inductions. But I think this is
a real good year with Bad Company and Soundgarden and
what White Stripes too. Yeah. Yeah, So people are speculating
as to whether or not Jack and Meg White will play.
This could be a huge year for the rock Hall Inductions.
I mean insofar as because listen, it's all subjective. I mean,

(01:18:19):
depending on what year you're paying attention, you might be
a huge dire Straits fan. They got inducted one of
the years here in Cleveland, and it was really anti
climactive because they wanted nothing to do with it. So
it was like the guys, who you know, these two
other guys No, oh wow. Last couple of times I've
been at the rock Hall Inductions, there was no big
jam at the end right the year bon Jovi got

(01:18:41):
in when Howard Stern flew to Cleveland, much to his chagrin,
uh to induct bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was very upfront
about the fact that, like, we don't want to play,
We're gonna sit there at the table and get drunk, huh,
because he couldn't see. Well, I don't know about that.
That that might have been a nice cover. But but
years ago, you know, you'd be treated to this all
star jam yeah. Now people just want to go for

(01:19:03):
the party, so you're you know, and that mixed with
one and when too much time goes by that you
have these acts who are publicly dismissive of the rock
call and then they get in. Steve Miller comes to mind, right,
and then they get in and they're like, okay, now

(01:19:24):
go but I'm not going to play.

Speaker 10 (01:19:25):
Wait. I can't believe Dire Straits didn't play. Mark Knopfler,
maybe the most underrated guitar player.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Oh no, he wanted nothing to do with it. He
wasn't even there. He wasn't there, nor he wow because
it's him and his brother, right, I think his brother died.
Who was his brother, David Nopfler or Knofler brothers in
Dire Straits, so neither of them were there. So it
was like the rhythm section for Dire Straits. Hey, thank you,
we appreciate you. It's like the Moody Blues. Right the
year that the Moody Blues got in. There were a

(01:19:52):
couple of guys there, but they didn't play like the
Go Gos played. You know, last time was in Cleveland.
Drew Barrymore induct to the Go Gos Dave shape Hell
was there because he inducted eminem maybe or something like that.
And so it's a lot of fun anytime you go.
It's a lot of fun because it's such a spectacle.
Who who's getting in is almost secondary. But it's way
more entertaining if it's a bunch of bands you like,

(01:20:16):
and if it happens to cross the axes of bands
that you like and deserve to get in, that's a
whole other thing. So if you're talking Warren Zevon's Sound Garden,
Bad Company and the White Stripes, you're scratching me right
where I ititch. So I'm excited for this year, even
though it's in Los Angeles. I think it might be
in Cleveland next year. It must just be that they

(01:20:38):
do that three year rotation between New York, LA and
you know, but then they talk about I would not
be surprised by the way if they eventually phased Cleveland
out altogether insofar as a site for the inductions. They
do it to kind of throw them a bone. The
museum is here, but I think if they had their druthers,

(01:20:59):
they would have like New York, LA, maybe Nashville. You know,
I don't know. Maybe they never will. Maybe I'm being
cynical about it, but you kind of get this vibe
that you know because the rock Hall is here, but
it doesn't really belong to Cleveland, and so I don't

(01:21:19):
know if it's here next year, but it is if
you've ever been, it's a lot of fun. But yeah,
Warren Zevon, Yeah, Mick Fleetwood and John mcviee the rhythm
section on Werewolves of Land. David Knopfler is still alive,
So I oh, I wonder or something, because I think
Mark Knopfler was quite public about I don't care about

(01:21:42):
the rock Hall. I want okay, okay, okay, okay. So
two things can be true. They might hate each other
and they wanted nothing to do with showing up in
Cleveland for the rock Hall. Got it.

Speaker 10 (01:21:51):
I've seen I've never had the opportunity to see him.
I would go see him play a Sesame Street song.
I am a huge fan of his.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
I like Dire Straits when I hear them, but I
never got into him. One of my favorite songs of
Theirs was a later song of Theirs that I never
hear anyone play. It's called heavy Fuel and it's just
about him living hard and hey, if I die early,
I'll die early. But he is an undeniably unbelievable musician.

(01:22:24):
So far Away I think is my favorite. That's great
Toe You're Straight song, I think if I had to
pick one, I mean that was another band that really
kind of had a resurgence because of MTV. Yep, speaking
of MTV, by the way, they canceled Ridiculousness. Oh Jesus,
wasn't that keeping them a feel? Yeah, pretty much if
you've paid attention at all, And a lot of it's
inside baseball, but if you paid attention, there's so much

(01:22:45):
of it that's bled into kind of pop culture. All
of these mergers that are going on right, the fact
that like Paramount and CBS greased up and grab Ankle
for Trump, right, they basically paid him a bribe so
he'd check off their merger or whatever. Well, Paramount and
Skydance did this too, so now they're cleaning house, right,

(01:23:05):
And MTV has canceled Ridiculousness, which has been on they
said after forty six seasons. Now you got to remember
these reality shows, they do like two seasons a year.
But it's been on a long time. And if you've
turned on MTV recently. It was basically all day long
of ridiculousness. Canceled after fourteen years and forty six seasons. Okay,

(01:23:27):
so they're doing more than two a year. What jumped
out of me is how much they were paying Rob Deardck,
who was just a skateboarder back in the day. I
remember Robin Big. Do you remember Robin Big? Yep? Okay,
I didn't really pay attention to skateboarders. I knew like that.
I handful of the top guys, like everybody knew Tony Hawk,
and you know, because he had his own video games.

(01:23:48):
I had heard the name Rob dear Deck. I didn't
really know that much about him. If he's from out
here or what somebody said Rob Derdeck was from out here?
Is that right? Or I miss from about gays from Kettering? Okay,
so Dayton area. Anyway. The guy's a little bit younger
than me. He's had a really good career on television.
Robin Big was this show about him and Big Black

(01:24:09):
is what he called him, and he was like his
security guard and they would just get into goofy situations.
And it was only on for a couple of seasons.
It started like right when I moved back to Chicago's
like oh six, it was on and I was doing mornings,
and I'd come home and sit in front of the
television for like an hour, and Robin Big was on
in the middle of the day, and I was hooked.

(01:24:30):
Didn't really watch Ridiculousness because it was just a bunch
of clips, but it became like the fabric once they
got done with Jersey Shore, Ridiculousness was all that was
on MTV. But What Jumped They did seventeen hundred episodes,
one of the longest running series in MTV history, and
the reruns were always on. I had no idea how

(01:24:53):
much money he was making from that show. And this
is why they're canceling shows like this, because they look
at their balance sheet and they go, look, we're firing
thousands of employees, and those are people in offices. Rob
Deerdeck was being paid thirty two point five million dollars
a year what buy paramount. Oh my god, Now that

(01:25:16):
included bonuses, a twenty one thousand dollars per episode EP fee.
He was executive producer, So you get paid for that, right,
that's part of it. You go, I also own a
part of the show. And what a great deal man
when you get to that level and you have an
agent that figures these things out for you. So thirty
two and a half million dollars a year within that

(01:25:39):
was bonuses, the epfee twenty one grand per episode and
a sixty one grand per episode on camera fee good free.
So he's like, you're gonna pay me twenty one grand
for the stuff I'm let's face it, barely doing in
the editing suite. You're an executive producer, it's mostly a credit.

(01:26:02):
That's it. Yeah, you're you're peeping in when they're editing,
and you're going, that looks good on camera, sixty one
grand per episode. So he was all told, thirty two
point five million dollars a year. Now that was just
from Paramount. You figure out all the other stuff, right,
you got DC shoes, your name is on stuff. This
guy was may king money. But that adds up for

(01:26:25):
a company when they're you know, ordering tons of new episodes,
right if you're doing three cycles a year, they're like,
we can't, we're not going to get doing this. He's
going to be just fine. He's going to be just fine.
Ridiculous debuted in August twenty eleven, and it was just
viral videos. It was like in the waning days of Jackass.

(01:26:47):
They were like, well, people like that style and under
normal circumstances, it would be the appeal of these two
companies is they're dirt cheap to produce. But when you
get to the point where you're making a lot of
money and your main guy renegotiates, you end up paying
him thirty two million dollars a year. So, yeah, they've

(01:27:11):
canceled ridiculousness. I mean, I couldn't tell the last time
I watched it, but you know, he got rid of
catfish and so I don't know, maybe they'll just bring
back videos to MTV. Is Tosh point Oh still on?
Because the same show now he's doing a podcast now, Okay,
that was on Comedy Central, right, the same same stupid show. Yeah,
the internet clips and laughing. But Tash was a legit

(01:27:33):
funny guy like Rob deer Deck. Yeah he's okay, he's
like a goof Yeah he was. Yeah. No, Tosh point
Oh ended twenty twenty.

Speaker 10 (01:27:44):
Okay, Yeah, I haven't watched any of those things in years.

Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
Ago years, but that was on for like a long
time too. Yeah, yeah, and yeah, Tosh made a lot
of money off of that because they also because of
these mergers and what companies own, you know, fewer and
fewer companies owned more things in media, which people are
aware now, But that was a show that they sold

(01:28:09):
to like network syndication, So there were like major markets
were showing Tosh point zero, like after Saturday Night Live
or something right not on Comedy Central. But yeah, our
ip ridiculousness because Tosh bailed. Tosh kind of pulled a
chappelle ish move. They had just renewed him for four

(01:28:31):
more years and he pulled the cord. It's like I'm done.
So they did like a couple episodes and he's like,
I got to get out of here. I think he
had a kid by that time and he's married and
you know, but it was huge.

Speaker 19 (01:28:44):
Hey Ellen, Rob, listen to podcast Thursday. You guys were
talking about storytelling music. Mind you, I was born in
nineteen eighty one, but two of my absolute favorites are
A Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean and hot Rod
Lincoln by Tennessee Ernie Ford. Both of those really tell

(01:29:06):
a story in it, and I absolutely loved that kind
of country but I hate country in general.

Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
By hot Rod Lincoln. Wow, I don't remember Tennessee Ernie Ford.
It was a country song from the fifties. I didn't
remember him doing it, though I know Big Bad John.
I don't know hot Rod Lincoln. Well, hot Rod Lincoln.
I only know it was Commander Cody and his Lost
Planet Airmen really rolls off the tongue. I only remember
that because what my first full time job in radio

(01:29:36):
is working at a classic rock station in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
and there were a handful of songs. We had all
of our music on CD. This is nineteen ninety five,
but we still had two racks of music on KRT.
Rob knows what this is because they were still getting
played occasionally. But they were like the old and the
classic rock. So there was hot Rod Lincoln on cart

(01:30:00):
Lake Shore Drive by Aliotta Haynes and Jeremiah is that
ring any bells? Okay? And what else? There were a
handful of songs that were on KRT only, and that's
why I remember Commander Cody, green Grass and High Tides Okay.
I think it was the Outlaws. So those kind of
old ish songs that we still had on cart that's

(01:30:23):
a great song. Maybe they weren't on CD or something,
but hot Rod Lincoln. I don't remember Tennessee Ernie Ford.
I remember the Commander Cody just said, son, you're gonna
drive me to drink and if you don't stop driving
that hot Rod Lincoln. I don't know what else Commander Cody.

Speaker 20 (01:30:44):
Ever did setting the pace seven stories.

Speaker 12 (01:30:48):
I'm here to say I was driving that model as.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
He died just a few years ago. But I think
they played. I forget how these guys got famous. I
don't know if they were at Stock, but they were
from ann Arbor, Michigan. I don't know if they were
a U of M band or what, but like they
opened for the Grateful Dead, and why you were playing
that then? Yeah presciately guys, right, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Big Bad John was the other one. He was talking
about this. I remember saying, Jimmy Dean, the sausage guy,

(01:31:17):
but he was like a big deal before the Sausage
of the Morning into Mine. You could see him arrive.
I remember my grandma playing this un final.

Speaker 20 (01:31:24):
Kind of broad in his shoulder and narrat to him,
and everybody knew you didn't give narra to hip the
Big John, Big Bad Job.

Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
Jimmy Dean died between being nominated for induction into the
Country Music Hall of Fame and the actual induction. Jimmy Dean,
jim do you remember the video from years ago on
YouTube not video, the phone call that the guy makes
bitching to Jimmy Dean Sausage about they shrunk their sauce

(01:32:00):
roll and how is he supposed to feed his family? Now?
Do you remember that? I love that call, the Jimmy
Dean Sausage call that the guy calls their customer service
line and just choose them out.

Speaker 7 (01:32:11):
I don't know where few people come from. I don't
know if you test your products, your quantity of your products.
Your products are very delicious. Love your sausage for thirty
something years, but I can't take and fee a family
of five on a little twelve ounce roll of sausage.
I don't mind paying you more money for your sixteen
ounce roll of sausage, but you don't have it anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
You've got a twelve.

Speaker 7 (01:32:33):
Ounce roll, and you've got three men that weiy over
two hundred pounds of peace, a woman that's a little
plump Scots girl, and a daughter who's thirteen, and you're
gonna try to take a twelve ounce roll of sausage
and a couple of dozen eggs and feed that. It
ain't gonna work. And I'm not gonna purchase your product
anymore or ever again. And as far as you're sixteen

(01:32:55):
ounce in maple and sage, I don't eat that. I'm
not from the North tech is, ma'am. Jimmy t from
the oh yeah, with the breakfast with the fried eggs
and the tea boone steaks. And I can't see going
to a little twelve ounce package to feed four or
five six people. And I'm not gonna buy two of

(01:33:17):
those twelve ounce packages. It's because you want to downside
and charge the things. Goddamn Pruce. I'd sure like a reply,
and I'd sure like you to go back to your
sixteen ounce package on your regular sausage, because I'm not
gonna buy it otherwise, Rigian, I'll just have my own
damn sauce made like I used to thirty something years ago.
It's not tasty as years is, but it'll work. Goodbye,

(01:33:41):
my little twelve outh goddamn roll of sausage.

Speaker 1 (01:33:43):
And he forgets to hang up, so he's yelling at
his wife about that, you know, and you.

Speaker 7 (01:33:46):
Six hundred pounds of men. At least you get my
point and the two girls and they put it in
that roll of sausage. Son of a ditch. Somebody needs
to ask it, some little consumer geek. The lord bade money,
bad monk, bad money. I'm gonna eat.

Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
I want to use guy. Yeah he's back. Yeah, Yeah,
you're right. Jimmy Dean. Ever heard that Jimmy Dean, by
the way, was one of the bad guys in Uh
Diamonds or Forever, the Bond movie from nineteen seventy one.

Speaker 10 (01:34:16):
You're right, honey, I am a big Z Honors goddamn
Jimmy Dean rant again.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
I am a plump scotchwoman. You got that right. The
Allen Carr Show.

Speaker 5 (01:34:27):
On one hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:34:31):
See Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 21 (01:34:33):
Sure you could listen to another show, but then how
would you find the puppies we buried in boxes around
the city one hundred point seven double mms.

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
P. Why not some misfits for Halloween? Hey, comedian Michael
Longfellow is here. I don't want to be dismissive by
saying comedian Michael Longfellow, I could probably just as easily

(01:35:10):
call you a brother son, boyfriend. Yeah, oh wait, is
my my guy? Yeah? What is that about burying puppies
in the box? Padi? I like that, you know. Oh
I like to be cheeky, get people all worked up. Yeah, fine,
how are you, pal? I'm doing good?

Speaker 5 (01:35:27):
Boy?

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
You had You've had a weird run of travel. I
know that. Yes, sorry about yesterday.

Speaker 13 (01:35:33):
If anyone listening was going to yesterday's show, I uh,
three canceled flights two different airports, Laguardi and JSK just
wasn't happening.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
Michael is doing the weekend at Hilarities, by the way,
two shows tonight and tomorrow. It's seven and nine forty
five tonight and tomorrow a Saturday Night Live alum. Now
does that end up on the Marquis? Does this say
Saturday Night Lives Michael Longfellow?

Speaker 13 (01:35:59):
I don't know if it says Sadaturday Night Lives Michael Longfellow,
but I think the SNL logos say that's definitely. Yeah,
that's the best credit I have for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
Right, you're from Phoenix. From Phoenix. I was trying to think.
I was like, what is the Phoenix stand up scene?
It was good. When I was in it wasn't rizingly.
I didn't know that until I left and went to
other scenes, Like who do we know? I was really
trying to think. I mean, everybody thinks of Spade, but
I think he was Scottsdale technically.

Speaker 13 (01:36:26):
But there is Spade. He grew up somewhat close to her.
I was Spade eighty Bryant Hey, Bryant right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:33):
Didn't know? Did you know her at all? Before I did? Not?
You did not know. She didn't recommend you See, I'm
always curious where, you know, because back in the day
it was just sketch people who would go out for SNL.
I know, I was surprised, I got it. Yeah, but
I mean again, but you're you're you were kind of
far enough down the road where it wasn't that weird.
I mean, obviously Spade was a comedian and all those guys.

Speaker 13 (01:36:54):
But yes, you know, I was a stand up but
I always wanted to do that was with the intention
of doing other things like sketch.

Speaker 1 (01:37:01):
But how did you come to their attention? I did
stand up and liked it, that's all it was. Really.

Speaker 13 (01:37:08):
Yeah, was it like a showcase thing? Because it was
a showcase in la first one I ever did. They'd
never heard of me, and then they invited me out
to do the weird quiet one in the studio in
New York.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
Where nobody famously laughs. I got laughs. Well, those crazy
story I hear that too. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:37:23):
Yeah, I was doing this late night show and they
were like, what shoud we talk about? What about your
Senela the everyone has a crazy audition story?

Speaker 1 (01:37:29):
I got laughs.

Speaker 13 (01:37:30):
I had fun Lauren talked to me afterwards that I
was very talented.

Speaker 1 (01:37:36):
Maybe they've loosened it up a bit, because now, you know,
there's that shift. Like I said, back in the day,
it was just sketch people, and then they were like,
we're going to do a crazy thing and talk. There
was that one season where they were getting like actors
like Joan Cusack and Robert Downey Junior. You know, they
needed like a full pivot, and then they were getting
more stand ups. Now they're dipping into like who's big

(01:37:56):
on TikTok, who's big? You know what I mean? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:37:59):
Yeah, I think I think as long as you're funny,
that's the hard part. Yeah, But there's a lot of
funny people that divide ourselves in this comedy community.

Speaker 1 (01:38:09):
That oh we're improv or standing. Yeah. Well but but
but I mean, but more as a function of how
they've done it, not that there's like less funny people
or whatever, but you know, yeah, so he sees you
and he goes, yeah, why didn't you come out? Was
there somebody else in that showcase that came out with
you and they didn't end up on there? A couple
of people? Yeah, yeah, so there were two or three people.
You were the one, I guess, so yeah, and you

(01:38:32):
weren't one and done. You were on three seasons, on
three seasons, baby, and you did I thought you I
thought you were underutilized. I'm sure you did too. I
appreciate it. It's famously a thunderdome there. Yeah. Yeah, the
SNL stories have kind of been talked to death, but
I'm always curious what people's individual experiences were.

Speaker 13 (01:38:49):
Ah as the best. Those are the best three years
of my life ever. Everyone's like as stressful. It is stressful,
but it's far more stressful being a bro comedian not
on SNL.

Speaker 1 (01:38:59):
Well, that's what I was going to say, Like, you know,
when somebody is an Oscar nominee, they are forever Oscar nominee. Yeah,
and you're forever from Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 13 (01:39:08):
I don't long to work at my dad's friends car dealership.
And it was kind of always the goal. And so
as long as that dreams alive, I'm always good. SNL
was it was stressful, but I'm also dressed as like
a cigarette, right, so I'm stressed about like a line,
you know that I have to say.

Speaker 1 (01:39:24):
But also you would catch my eye and I'm sure
a lot of other people when you did desk pieces,
which I thought were the best things on there. And well,
that's what I'm saying, like, it's just you. It's a
thing you wrote, right, You're not reading a car and
off something somebody else wrote. And so was it just
the luck of the draw where they go, Nah, we're

(01:39:45):
not going to keep going what with how I left? Well,
just with because I mean, with all due respect to
the people who are you know, removed from all the cast. Yeah,
there was that guy Aristotle somebody okay, yeah, seem like
a funny guy. Never I thought he was in your cast.
He did one season before, was he really? But the

(01:40:06):
one season and he never made any kind of mark whatsoever.
You were a guy that was on there. It's like
you'd see in sketches, but then you did desk pieces
and I was like, oh, this guy probably on for
a while, thank you. So is that is that a
matter of were you surprised? I was surprised. Yeah, I
was very surprised, but it was all on. I got
a call.

Speaker 13 (01:40:25):
From Lauren like a few days later that gave me
any closure I needed. We still love each other.

Speaker 1 (01:40:31):
How do you find out Marcy Klein or so Lauren
doesn't call you and go you're done?

Speaker 13 (01:40:35):
No, I he called me later just to explain and
say nice things. It was a It was a very
good call, and I love Lauren. I found out on
a layover from my agent.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
Oh he called you instead, which is normal. Yeah, that's
very normal. I don't want to that sounds sad, but
that's just well no, yeah you hear. Yeah, yeah, I
was surprised, but so it goes. It's just luck, the
draw kind of thing. I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:41:02):
Yeah, I mean, they have plans of their own that
you never know about, right, So I'll write a book
someday maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:41:08):
But also that that cast had famously inflated, like beyond
you know, you go all the way back to SNL.
They were like seven people on that show and then
they got to like twenty. You know, seven people must.

Speaker 13 (01:41:19):
Have been amazed.

Speaker 1 (01:41:20):
Everyone's eating everyone. Yeah, everybody gets in the B suit.
Everybody gets a turn in the B suit. Man, But
Keenan's a lifer. Keenan's a lifer. Should be.

Speaker 13 (01:41:33):
I don't want to turn on SNL and Nazi Keenan
and very Day and even some people that left.

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
You know. Yeah, there's just some familiar faces that I
feel like, is it a a lot of times in
the normal goings on of showbiz you'll work with people
and you'll have a great time with them, and there
is a trench mentality, or at least there was for
a long time at SNL. You'll work with people, but
then you really don't stay in contact with them. Is

(01:42:01):
there still kind of that fraternal vibe?

Speaker 13 (01:42:03):
Yeah? Yeah, these are all my friends for life, my
wedding and stuff. I've been on the road with Colin
since I saw Jash at a show recently.

Speaker 1 (01:42:14):
He hosted this show. Gave me a little backstage pass
because it's not even like it's a bad blood thing.
It's just like, hey man, sorry, we'll see you down
the road, or yeah, yeah, they didn't do it right.

Speaker 13 (01:42:24):
Yeah, all the new kids I would never root against
I'm rooting for them, right.

Speaker 1 (01:42:29):
And it's a very quick.

Speaker 13 (01:42:30):
Way to like become close because it is, Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:42:33):
It is intense. So was but was it a thing
where you figured out, I've got to write stuff for myself? Yeah,
if I'm so, you write the desk pieces and to
get you on there, and is that just stuff that
you present the calling and.

Speaker 13 (01:42:46):
You so we write writing day is Monday and Tuesday.
Tuesday is the big day. Everything's due to Wednesday. So
you just write it out and then submit it and
then we sit around a table on Wednesday for like
six hours and we read fifty sketches and updates and
then they cut it down to like twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:43:03):
Which thing gets cut to nine by the end of
the week.

Speaker 13 (01:43:05):
Right, So I mean the odds are against you no
matter what. But updates felt a lot like stand up.

Speaker 1 (01:43:12):
So it wasn't.

Speaker 13 (01:43:14):
I got very amble and sketches, Yeah, but up top
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:43:19):
I was not.

Speaker 13 (01:43:19):
I was never uncomfortable on the update desk because it
felt I wouldn't eve feel that proud of myself after
I did an update.

Speaker 1 (01:43:24):
You would or would not feel I wouldn't really felt.
I feel pride, but yeah, a couple of sketches I.

Speaker 13 (01:43:29):
Got on were way that was cooler, even though I
loved it up there on the desk, just because it
was cozy, like doing stand up, which you can see
this weekend at Hilarities.

Speaker 1 (01:43:39):
For Michael Longfellow. He's had Hilarities seven and nine forty
five tonight, seven and nine forty five tomorrow. And so
is it also a situation where Lauren goes, you know,
maybe down the road there's things that I might be doing,
and you're kind of in the back of his mind.
I mean, who knows. Yeah, obviously you can't read his mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(01:44:01):
who knows. But the we're all we're still friends, yeah,
each other. And so are you a married guy or
you were getting married or.

Speaker 13 (01:44:09):
I'm not a married guy, but I've been in a
relationship for eight years. I'm going to be a married
guy soon around much longer. Yeah, I'm not engaged, but
I'm going to be engaged soon.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
I see what you mean. You'll have to pull the
trigger at some point. I need to. She's waited long enough.

Speaker 13 (01:44:27):
I didn't have any money until sn L and then
I was busy on SNL. She and the biz or No,
she's civilian, totally normal math degree and so she's somebody
who goes, you know what, I'll ride or die here.
And then she was with me since I was an
open mic comedian in LA. I was in Arizona for that.
But usually that is dangerous for women. That doesn't usually

(01:44:50):
end up.

Speaker 1 (01:44:51):
You mean to be with the guy who's on the
come up in LA trying to get.

Speaker 13 (01:44:55):
In my comedian, Yeah, it is usually a risky move.
I feel like, yeah, so, but yeah, she she's been
there through it all. I can trust her. She'd be
fine if I was an electrician. She'd probably be happier
if I was an electrician.

Speaker 1 (01:45:09):
Had you gone to school in Phoenix, You've gone through
the college.

Speaker 13 (01:45:15):
Largest, the highest exceptionance rate in the in the country,
number one.

Speaker 1 (01:45:18):
Famous party school. Right, yeah, the Sun Devils? Is that?
What the Sun Devils? You're going to ask you? What
were you studying? Were you studying something with the plan?

Speaker 4 (01:45:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:45:28):
I was to do that. I'm going to be a stand.

Speaker 13 (01:45:30):
I tried to not go and about a bunch of
times I studied literature. Okay, my dad said, when I
told him that. He was like, oh, well, I hope
the bank has a vault lig enough, right, yeah, it's
it's I can be a library. And I said the
road to Riches day.

Speaker 1 (01:45:46):
Yeah, Virginia, you gotta I remember my job in college
for like student aid, you have a student job, right.
My job in college was at the library. And I'm
a word nerd, and that was a perfect I didn't
want to work at the sports center whatever. Smell the books, yes, yes,
and you could take girls into the stacks and all
that kind of stuff. But that was when I discovered

(01:46:07):
that the people who were there and worked there had
degrees in library science, library no idea. Yes, it can't
be a library. Yes, librarian. I mean the thing that
these people wanted to do. And I went to college.
I'm old. I went to college in the early nineties.
But still, like do we decimal system and all that crap.
These were people with library sciences degrees. I go, wow,

(01:46:30):
I didn't know that was a thing. I thought you
were all just civilians working at the library. Still a thing.
It might not be. I gotta think it's computer oriented
or something. Amazon just they did away with the library
sciences degree. Were Mom and Dad supportive. Did they see
early on supportive dad horrified and scared? I would say

(01:46:53):
probably up and tell lesson now, right, But that's a
good balance to supportive parents be strange. You need one
that's like this is weird and risky. But mom was
supportive and proud for like a month and then she
came to every show and within a month was like,
you're you did that wrong, you did that joke wrong.

(01:47:15):
You look tired. She should become Oh she was trying
to massage the act.

Speaker 13 (01:47:19):
Yes, yeah, but she always when I got SNL, she's like,
I knew it, my special boy. And when I told
Dad I was into comedy, he was like, you don't
talk right, very low key son. Two different houses years,
so two different Michaels, kind of two.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
Different kind of motivators too. Probably yeah for you, longfellow
underscore Michael, I think is you on Instagram? If memory serves?
And then are you a guy that's on the road
like a lot. Do you take a chunk of time
where you go I'm just gonna sit, I'm gonna hang
with my girl, or are you always kind of outworking?

Speaker 13 (01:47:52):
Before SNL, I was on the road as much as
possible and even during sn L during the summer, as
I would tour every week.

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
Yeah, the road was kind of I don't know. That's
what I know.

Speaker 13 (01:48:04):
R travel around with little suitcase, tell my jokes and
it keeps me.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
That's how I don't know, That's how I stay good
at comedy in my right? Are you pretty disciplined about it?
Everybody's got their own style, or you a guy who's
always writing, or you a guy who's like, well this
kind of came.

Speaker 4 (01:48:20):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:48:20):
Some people were like, I write on stage.

Speaker 13 (01:48:22):
I'm not sitting down for eight hours and like writing
on a laptop or I did that SNL, but stand
up is I am always writing. But I think thinking
is writing. You just got to write it down. Sometimes, Yeah,
you forget it. Yeah, I'll think of like a joke
standing in line for Starbucks, right, and then I'll sit
down and try and write it out a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:48:41):
But I'm very adhd. You do a lot of voice notes.

Speaker 13 (01:48:44):
I do some voice notes, yeah, yeah, And then I
have a writing style that I think only I can
read and make calligraphy and it's much simpler, but in
a way, yeah, hieroglyphics.

Speaker 1 (01:48:56):
I have memorized a series of pictures and U and
strikes that I can read, but nobody else can read.
Nobody else can steal my stuff because they can't decipher
it exactly. Listen, Phoenix to LA. I assume that's you
come up in Phoenix, you go, I'm going to LA, Yeah,
because those are two different comed ex sensibilities to LA

(01:49:17):
and New York very much.

Speaker 13 (01:49:18):
Yeah, New York's the best. New York's almost like everywhere
else in the LA is the only place I've found
it's like different for comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:49:25):
But even that's changing too, because back in the like
I came from stand up in the early nineties, and
back then I was in LA for a couple of years,
you know, nineteen ninety one or whatever. Back then, if
you were there, you were trying to get on TV,
trying to get a pilot whatever, Whereas New York like
that's where the real comics were and blah blah blah,
even though you were in the shadow of SNL and
that was always in people's minds too. Yeah, but now

(01:49:47):
there's so little stuff that gets filmed in LA, Like
that whole thing is turned upside down where I don't
even know.

Speaker 13 (01:49:52):
It's like self tape. Yes, yeah, I don't. I love
la I love living there, but I don't see a
reason to be there as far as I being a comedian,
rights or even other things entertainment.

Speaker 1 (01:50:05):
I don't know. I don't know. I think it was
a little better before COVID. COVID kind of that's a
hot take, bro, I remember that, Remember that? Remember before COVID. Yeah,
we never thought we'd come out of it. I like
the New York could you have envisioned to time? Really?
Could you have envisioned a time? Or we would have
looked back on the COVID era and been like, I.

Speaker 13 (01:50:27):
Remember that, and now I wrote it was all consuming
about it, and I was just gone.

Speaker 1 (01:50:33):
Burned through all that COVID material. I bet you're gonna
keep that material because when the next pandemic hits, you'll
just be able to substitute whatever the new one is.

Speaker 13 (01:50:42):
That's why I'm not doing a retirement fun right now
or a four to one K.

Speaker 1 (01:50:46):
I'm waiting.

Speaker 13 (01:50:47):
If we make it through the next COVID, I'll start
put it in the thing you can't get till you're
sixty five, or right, sixty five seems older and older
as the times go on.

Speaker 1 (01:50:55):
So after the next pandemic, then you'll really hunker down
with that, with that roth ire.

Speaker 13 (01:51:00):
Yeah, if I can make it through too, I can
make it through three and we'll get that roth going.

Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
Good for you. Thanks, What are you like? Thirty two,
thirty three years old? One thirty one Onelly? Sorry age
you liked it? Oh good? Wow? Congratulations, Thanks man. Michael

He already knows. Yeah, where I'm going? Oh right, Well,

(01:57:44):
it's a Browns bye week, which mains we get to
pay attention to high school playoff football? What's going on
rowd Northeast Ohio? The world of high school playoff football? Yes?
Is anyway pay attention to this? Who doesn't have kids
in high school? You know, because it's supposed it's gonna
be cool tonight, people who are trick or treating. But

(01:58:05):
it's supposed to be dry. It's not gonna be raining
or anything like that. Years passed on Halloween, you've had
you know, frozen sleet and things like that. But Maria
playing Cleveland Heights tonight, it's Trogsville the bus Stakes. I'll
be facing Madonna. What's the Medina High School team? Rock
the Bees, the Madonna Bees. I thought Baldwin Wallace had

the Srugsville Bus Stakes. Over at Rockety River, the Pirates
playing home against Midview. The Hell's Midview and in Akron
build travels to Akron East, all the way over to
Akron East. They're gonna be traveling featuring two eight and

(01:58:49):
two teams. It's supposed to be forty nine degrees tonight
under mostly cloudy skies for your high school football playoff? Actual,
do any of our stations run those? Do we have
an AM sports station in our cluster that runs these
high school games? I don't think so.

Speaker 13 (01:59:09):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:59:10):
We don't have any.

Speaker 10 (01:59:10):
Cops around, like they take it way more serious down
in those other markets, Like I.

Speaker 1 (01:59:17):
Know, it's like Friday night lights. You get down by
like Lima, and you know Canton.

Speaker 10 (01:59:22):
I think Canton has stuff. Yeah, I think there's like
a bunch of markets that do it. But I don't think.
I mean listen, I don't listen to any other station.
So I have no idea, no offense, but we may.
I just I don't think that we do okay.

Speaker 1 (01:59:37):
Well anyway, if you're into high school football and not
into the trick or treating tonight, there's plenty to go around.
The Toronto Blue Jays will try to sew up the
World Series tonight, But a Toronto mom says, completely unrelated
to the baseball things took an unpredictable turn. You might

(01:59:57):
have read a story about this AI chat b that
Elon Musk has unleashed onto an unsuspecting public there in
his rolling computers called GROC and this woman is complaining
because it took an inappropriate turn with her son when

(02:00:18):
they were in her Tesla there in Toronto.

Speaker 23 (02:00:21):
Toronto mom Fara Nasser says she was driving her children
home from school when her twelve year old son asked
Tesla's AI chatbot which soccer player it preferred, Cristiano Ronaldo
or Leonel Messi.

Speaker 1 (02:00:36):
My son was very excited to hear that the chatbot
thought Ronaldo was a better soccer player.

Speaker 23 (02:00:41):
The former journalist says that chatbot engaged in a little
messy trash talking. Then she says something alarming happened.

Speaker 1 (02:00:49):
The chatbot said to my son, why don't she send
me some nudes? Oops? I was at a loss for woods.
I'm more of a sarcastic stoner who got too smart
for his own good.

Speaker 23 (02:01:00):
That chat bought, newly available in Canadian teslas, is called Grock,
created by Elon Musk's XAI and already in use on
x Hey, what do.

Speaker 1 (02:01:10):
You think about everyone hating on tesl? Law had dumped that?

Speaker 9 (02:01:14):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (02:01:15):
How, by the way, how I know Elon Musk is
just trolling and he's a bit whatever. How is this
useful to anyone? How is the constant trolling? How is
that useful to anyone? It doesn't appear to be at
all in a car when it's just like the AI
is going to go off through I know everybody's being

(02:01:36):
used as you know, data set experiments, laborats or whatever.
But uh, apparently that aired on Canadian television CBC News.
They dropped an F bomb in there, but the mom
was none too pleased that had asked her kid for nudes.
Talking about nudes unless you're on unhinged, right, Nah, I'm

(02:01:59):
always on ananged just dial it back sometimes so I
don't get sued by pure By the way, why does
it sound creepy like that? Just to begin with? Like
that's the voice that comes out of the tesla there?
Anyway you want to talk about messy conversation Chris, Jianna

(02:02:20):
Ronaldo or Leonel Messi? Who do you think is better? AI?
Grock in my car? Ugh? Whatever? Anyway, fun for them.
DeLay's kind of cute though. The mom they called her
a former journalist, so I wonder if these were like

(02:02:41):
her former colleague for sure. Yeah, they did a piece.
You're not coming to believe what happened to my child.
Nasa and her family have owned the Tesla Model three
electric sedan for the past three years. But Grock, a
generative AI chatot created by Elon Musk, is a new

(02:03:02):
feature that was automatically installed in some Tesla's here in
the States this summer and in Canadian vehicles last month.
It has several personalities to choose from. You know, you
can set the uh you know, because Tesla's a rolling
computer and Elon Musk is Elon Musk that there's all

(02:03:26):
kinds of fun things you can do. You can make
your horn a fart. Did you did you? Uh? Did
you take the new Alexa Plus thing?

Speaker 9 (02:03:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:03:39):
You mentioned it and then I think, just as quickly
I forgot about it.

Speaker 10 (02:03:43):
Yeah, if you still well you said you don't use yourself,
but if you, if it does pop up, you should
take it. It's interesting because you can put I mean,
there's like ten different voices you can use and it
sounds like you're having a conversation with a person now before,
like you know, Alex always had like that.

Speaker 1 (02:03:57):
Sorry, I can't do that right now. Well, so what
I found more frustrating about Alexa is you'll ask it
a question and to go here's what I got from Google. Yeah,
I could do that. I want you to give me
some deep mind AI learning crap, give me the stuff
we're being promised all the time, right this sea change
in technology. Here's what I learned from Google. Thanks it

(02:04:22):
Just at least read it to me. If you're gonna
say you found it on Wikipedia, read it literally. The
only time, maybe somebody in my house will ask Alexa
what the weather is going to be. But again, we
all have these applications on our phones. This morning, Friday
morning is the only time every week that I know

(02:04:43):
it will get used because my daughter likes to listen
to Friday by Rebecca Back. She knows it is a
terrible song. She knows this, and it still makes her laugh.
And every Friday morning she's like, lay Friday By like
a black Inevitably, I'll be in the shower and I'll

(02:05:03):
hear it out in the other room, and you know, yeah,
affirmative right, just terrible, terrible, terrible song from a decade
to ago. That's the only time. And then, of course,
as soon as the song's over, my daughter's like Alexa
turn off because she's always trying to suggest things to you. Right,
Alexa is like an annoying friend, Eh, shall I do

(02:05:27):
this for you?

Speaker 23 (02:05:27):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:05:29):
You want me to start a grocery list? Nope, It's
like an overly attentive roommate. So that's the one time
every week that I know it will get used is
Friday morning, before I take my daughter to school. She
gets herself ramped up with Rebecca Blacks Friday. But I'll

(02:05:49):
tell you what. I'll make myself a note Rob to
look at Alexa Plus. But again, I don't if you're
gonna sell me that, Like, Oh, it's different voices and
it's like having a conversation. I do that for a living.
It's got a whole bunch of different stuff. But I'm
not saying you need to get it.

Speaker 10 (02:06:05):
I'm just saying that it's it's something different and it
has more of that AI type vibe where it's a
conversation and that sort of stuff. Alexa will ask me
for nudes. That's what I'm hoping for. Yeah, because this
new Alexa sounds.

Speaker 1 (02:06:20):
Hot, except you can't do photos on Alexa. So how
do you know? Do you use Alexa Plus? No? She'll
tell you I'm not I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. Formatted
for photos.

Speaker 10 (02:06:31):
It aims to be more conversational, personalized, and proactive, with
features like remembering context, completing multi step tasks, and making
natural language conversations possible. What I like about it is,
you know how if you say, Alexa, what's the weather,
She's gonna go, it's gonna I don't know, it's cloudy
and it's currently fifty two degrees and then it goes

(02:06:52):
away and it stops. The light stays on now, so
you can say, okay, what about tomorrow without having to
like redo all the commands again, and she'll go, it's
gonna be sunny and high a sixty seven six seven.
What about the next week, And she's gonna go, and
she'll give you the seven day so you don't have
to keep stopping down and doing the command stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:07:11):
Well, yeah, I don't. I don't use it that much.
I don't either.

Speaker 10 (02:07:15):
It really is a weather thing for the most part
for me, or sometimes if I if I can't sleep,
I'll put on rain sounds or something like that.

Speaker 1 (02:07:22):
Oh she can do that, uh huh, oh please rain sound.
It's linked to my spotifili your count. I'll say, could
you please play continuous rain sounds? Alexa? She'll come on,
I said, but yes, of course I can. Master Rob.
Is that Master Rob? Yeah? Good, you've really got it,
Master Rob.

Speaker 10 (02:07:43):
She tried to say master, and I'm like, that's not no, no, no, no,
you need to fix your pronunciation of that, Alexa.

Speaker 1 (02:07:48):
And I had to train her to say master. I see, listen,
we're in showbiz, Rob. So the sound of applause is
what gets me to slope. It sounds enough like driving
rain yep. Even if I put on a really hard
rain sound, I'll train my brain. I hear it as applause,
and that's how I'll drift off into dreamland.

Speaker 10 (02:08:11):
A Parma man in the chat is asking if we
can get the clip rattler mode in our cars, which
would be wondering which way he means that you mean
it for like I can talk to them, or he
wants me to be like, well, I'm while they're driving,
gotta have it moist.

Speaker 1 (02:08:33):
Oh my god, Rob, did you see what time it was?
Oh five minutes late? Sitting in a lank finger bag bank,
All the clocks do go back tomorrow, b bank bank bank,
binger bang bank finger bag bang bang. This is how

(02:09:09):
cotton Balls ramps up for his Jamison and snickers or
whatever he's doing out this hot and mulled wine going
out to a trick or treat. Bangs.

Speaker 10 (02:09:24):
I've got it set for four point fifty nine Friday afternoons,
so I get the alert and say, Ac, it's the weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:09:33):
We need some finger banging. Brian, Wow, gotta have it moist.

Speaker 20 (02:09:38):
All.

Speaker 1 (02:09:38):
I love to have Alexa with Samuel L. Jackson or
Eddie Murphy's voice. You probably get Probably, you get it.
I'm sure the cats nestle close to their kittens. The
lambs have laid down with the sheep. You're cozy and
warm in your bed, my dear, Please go to sleep.

(02:10:00):
Oh good night.

Speaker 11 (02:10:02):
The eagles who soar through the sky are at rest,
and the creatures who crawl, run and creep.

Speaker 1 (02:10:11):
I know you're not thirsty. That's both. Stop lying a
lot of fun down, my darling.

Speaker 10 (02:10:16):
And sleep.

Speaker 1 (02:10:19):
Grow some applause.

Speaker 11 (02:10:20):
The kids from daycare are in dreamland. The froggie has
made his last leap. Hell no, you can't go to
the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (02:10:30):
You know where you can go to sleep? I mean,
I think you want your kid to go to the bathroom.
Otherwise they're going to do it in bed. You don't
want that. I would definitely want my kid to just
go to the bathroom and then go back to bed.
Somebody wrote an article and Wired I think it was,
and they were like, Yeah, all these companies laying people
off for AI, they're really gonna regret this. They're like

(02:10:52):
replacing humans with AI. They're just doing it whether or
not it actually is going to work.

Speaker 2 (02:10:58):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:10:58):
They're like, hey, this is over here, it can conceivably
do this job, so let's just fire these people. They're like,
this is not going to work out. Amazon cut fourteen
thousand jobs, Paramount cut one thousand jobs, Target fired eighteen
hundred people. UPS says that it will fire fourteen thousand
people as they begin their goal of firing forty eight

(02:11:21):
thousand workers in total. At UPS, Meta laid off six
hundred people from their AI lab, the people working to
develop the AI. And they're trying to figure out why
stocks are doing so well despite the fact that nobody
is hiring anyone. And so we were talking about the

(02:11:46):
getting kind of over their skis, because again, these companies,
you know, as much as they'll try to tell you, Oh,
the AI is to supplement our human employees, not to
replace them. They can't wait to fire people and replace
them with AI. And whether or not that's actually the
case that they will come to regret it, who knows.

(02:12:09):
But even if they were to bring people back, it's
not like they're going to be paying them what they
were before, right, or they would just try to figure
out a way to outsource it to somebody else. I
don't know, So that Rob is why I'm not trying
to strike up a conversation with a new iteration of Alexa.

(02:12:30):
I don't need her outsourceing my job. Get mine first.
Can you imagine they just this show becomes two of
those Amazon echoes just standing behind microphones. Oh god, Oh
that would be awesome. If this company can figure out
how to do it, they will do it. The Allen

(02:12:51):
Carr Show.

Speaker 7 (02:12:52):
On one.

Speaker 21 (02:12:57):
Okay, So being called audio hate crime by Ohio Quilter
Magazine wasn't our proudest moment. To the Alan got.

Speaker 1 (02:13:06):
Show on one m MS.

Speaker 12 (02:13:16):
Okay, So make you Satan Sunday, make you sim not.

Speaker 1 (02:13:21):
Make you for your pain? Twist can make you sit.

Speaker 2 (02:13:27):
To s you can?

Speaker 1 (02:13:38):
I mean you're giggling because we're running a truck commercial
and he's talking about super duties and dumps, like they're
like box trucks, super duties and dumps. So like, come on,
you're scratching me right?

Speaker 8 (02:13:52):
Were right?

Speaker 1 (02:13:52):
It on a Friday? Hey, your cavalier's I think you're playing? Yeah,
they're here at home. As a matter of fact, what
is it you're rocking out over there? Man? I don't
know what's going on my phone. The Calves are back
here at home. Seven point thirty tonight is your tip

(02:14:14):
off time. So seven o'clock is your pregame coverage against
the Toronto Raptors and their counterpart in sports, the Toronto
Blue Jays have a chance to win the World Series tonight.
The Raptors are on the road. Their baseball countrymen are
going to be there in Toronto in front of a
home crowd where they can knock it all out. I

(02:14:37):
think from the jump, the conventional wisdom was that, hey,
good job, Blue Jays, but you have no chance of
beating the Dodgers in the World Series. And they still
might not, but we'll see what happened. They have a
good chance of more two chances at winning this thing.
When Michael Longfellow was in here earlier, you had played

(02:15:00):
a commercial or something. It must have been an iHeart
thing and it was like the Dodgers are headed to
the World Series.

Speaker 10 (02:15:05):
And he looked at me went and he gave me
the huge thumbs down, and I pointed at you, and
I was like, he's a big Blue Jays guy.

Speaker 1 (02:15:10):
And he's like, oh thank god. He's like, I can't
play hate the Dodgers. Yeah. Speaking of Michael Longfellow, who
is of course a Saturday Night Live alummies in here
a little earlier. If you missed that convo, he's a
funny dude. You can hear it on the on the app.
I heard from a couple who are going to his

(02:15:31):
nine to forty five show, The Late Show tomorrow night
for their first anniversary. Oh awesome, Lauren and Tate. Happy anniversary,
Lauren and Taint Tate. Oh sorry, was one of those
pet names. No, I know, like Tate McCrae. Yeah, yeah, now,
Lauren and Tate is what she spelled out. Happy anniversary. Now.

(02:15:55):
I don't know if Tate is a guy or a girl.
I reflect of like, think a guy, because Tate, I
think traditionally has been a guy, say Lauren, but I
can well Lauren, I take as written that's I can't
imagine a guy named Lauren, but as it's spelled. You
know who knows. I went to high school with a
kid named Lauren. Lauren or Lauren l O R l
O r e N. Yeah, okay, Lauren. Well this is

(02:16:17):
l a U r e N like our car. So
that's Laura. That's I think that's a girl. Nevertheless, I
taint is the guy. Taint is the guy. I don't
like to assume anything, but I will assume that that
is a husband and wife. Taint hm hm. Kim Kardashian

(02:16:37):
does not think that the moon landing happened.

Speaker 10 (02:16:40):
Now, So dude, I'm happy you're bringing this up because
how many times have I said this. I heard her
say it and I'm like, she sounds crazy, and I'm like,
oh god, damn it, that's what I sound like when
I say you've said that you could see, Yeah, the
moon landing was faked.

Speaker 1 (02:16:56):
Yeah I don't.

Speaker 10 (02:16:57):
I don't necessarily think that it was, but I think
it could have been. And then I listened to her
say it, and I'm like, Okay, I can't never say
that again, Well, but my sounds crazy. Yeah, but anything
could be faked.

Speaker 1 (02:17:08):
But there is the copious decades amount of information the
debunks the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked.
You know, buzz Aldrin's wife just died, his third or
fourth wife. He's ninety two. His wife was sixty six
and she had cancer. A German woman I think, who

(02:17:30):
was accomplished in her own right, and he is. And
the reason I mentioned this is because that is the
crux of Kim Kardashian's argument that buzz Aldrin has said
in interviews that it didn't happen. Except buzz Aldrin is
also famously a drunk, as a lot of those guys are.
When you hit Terra Firma again after being in space,

(02:17:53):
how does anything matter? You're back here doing mundane crap
like going grocery shopping. Hell's yes, you are going to
become an alcohol just to deal with it. Well, I'll
play the video here. She is in a show called
All's Fair where she plays a lawyer in the midst
of like a high powered female law firm, and Sarah

(02:18:14):
Paulson is another one of the actresses. Glenn Close, she
played a lawyer in a show called Damages many years ago.
She's back on this show. I don't know if Nissi
Nash is in this or what, but Kim Kardashian's in
real life. Kim Kardashian is also ready to become a lawyer.
I'm sending you, like so far a million articles interviews

(02:18:38):
with both Buzz Aldrin and this is a clip from
the Kardashian show, right like a behind the scenes thing
because she's been shooting this show with Sarah Paulson. Who man,
Sarah Paulson. You want to talk about a chameleon of
an actor. You can see her in some shows and
they dress her way down and you're like, okay, she's
fully glammed up here. There are jugs right on her. Yes,

(02:19:00):
she looks great. Yes, the other one do it? Miss
Gross's what was the scariest moment?

Speaker 22 (02:19:06):
And he goes, there was no scary moment because it
didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (02:19:09):
It could have been scary anything, but it wasn't because
it didn't happen. So he's gotten old and now he
like slurs on, yeah, so I think it didn't happen.
I'm going to go on a massive deep live I'm
going to go on the serious deep dive. I sent
her conspiracies all the time. Sarah Paulson is being diplomatic

(02:19:33):
about it, like, oh, okay, I'm gonna put him gay
in real life. By the way, Sarah Paulson is in
a long time relationship with Holland Taylor, who is many
years her senior. She was the mom on two and
a half Men. Congratulations to Holland Taylor for those are
you kidding me? Good easy gets to hang out with
Wow and Kim Kardashian, one of the foxiest women on

(02:19:57):
the planet. I don't care what she's says. I don't
care if she thinks the moon landing was faked. She's
doing reality television, so she, you know, doesn't mean that
what she says is what she thinks. But listen, you
know what, I'm gonna go meta on you, Rob, you
have gonna go meta on you. Sure. I think the

(02:20:18):
movie Capricorn One was faked. How do you like that?
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. I think
that whole movie was faked. Capricorn One, for those of
you who might be too young to remember, was a
thriller in the seventies that starred among other people because

(02:20:39):
it was a stacked cast one Arenthal, James Simpson when
he was trying to get his acting career off the ground,
and it was about a mission to Mars that they
have to abort last minute, but there's so much riding
on it that they decide to fake it in a studio,
and so it's a conspiracy film. They were all a

(02:21:00):
lot of those in the seventies because it was post Watergate.
So you know, your your your cinema follows your pop
culture or follows what's going on in the culture. So
seventies were full of all kinds of paranoid thrillers because
it was Postwatergate. Nobody trusted anybody and an amazing did
you ever see Capricorn one? Do you know the movie

(02:21:20):
I'm talking about? No, but what you meant? This is
one of my favorite movies. I mean I was a
kid kid when it came out, but it was on cable,
you know, many years later. I love this movie. It's
Elliott Gould and it's Jimmy Browlin and Sam Waterson and
Oj Simpson and Hal Wholebrook, the late Great hell Holebrook

(02:21:43):
just top to bottom Dynamite, Taly Savalis is in this movie.
He was Kojack anyway, who loves Your Baby? But the
premise of the movie is, obviously these three astronauts are
soon on the run because they're trying to keep them
quiet because one of them gets a B in his
bomb and says, I got to tell people, and the

(02:22:05):
government comes after them. Under duress. They tell these guys
that they're going to fake this Mars landing. I don't
remember how it ends. I should watch it again. It
was a mild success, made some money, but I believe
rob that that movie was faked. I don't think any
of that movie happened.

Speaker 10 (02:22:24):
Just lobbing that out there for conversations, Yeah, yeah, take that. O. J. Simpson,
How do you like them apples? What are you gonna
tell me next?

Speaker 1 (02:22:32):
You think it was fake? When he went flying down
the stairs as what's his name in the Naked Gun?

Speaker 4 (02:22:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (02:22:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:22:41):
His roles really dried up after the double murder, didn't they. Yeah?
I think that was it. I guess they didn't want
to do anything with him after that because he had
a pretty solid film career. I mean, he was in
all three Naked Gun movies, and that third one was
after he killed two people. Was it? Yeah, wasn't that

(02:23:05):
ninety two? The OJ verdict. I don't think he was
in anything after that. He was in The Naked Gun
thirty three, and the third came out in nineteen ninety four,
so that would have been right before then, So that
movie was probably in the can. Wasn't didn't? Oh was
gonna happen in ninety four? Oh? Maybe you're right. I
was thinking that it was. I was thinking that it
was ninety two that that said. I want to say

(02:23:30):
that that was You're probably right. They wouldn't put him
in a movie.

Speaker 10 (02:23:32):
And there's no way. Yeah, nineteen ninety four murders of
his expo. Oh okay, so then that's so that's what
it was. That movie was already done in the canon, released.

Speaker 1 (02:23:40):
All right in the can? Yeah, heavy duties and dumps.

Speaker 7 (02:23:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:23:49):
No, he was in a handful of movies, but he
was in, uh he all the Naked Gun movies. He
had a cameo, He had cameos and a bunch of
things too. He was in Roots, he was in Yeah,
he was in a couple of those, like you know,
conspiracy thriller, disaster films.

Speaker 14 (02:24:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:24:07):
They put him in the Towering Inferno and the Cassendra
Crossing and all those kinds of movies. So he was
an aspiring actor. But anyway, Capricorn won to me. I know,
people like him a naked gun. To me, the high
watermark was a Capricorn one. It's the best shot he
had to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor.

Speaker 10 (02:24:27):
I think his best acting ever of anything he ever
did was when he tried to squeeze his hand into
that glove during the trial.

Speaker 1 (02:24:35):
That was pretty good.

Speaker 10 (02:24:36):
Pretended the good don't fit, you must have quit, and
he's doing like everybody puts a glove on with their
fingers as spread out as he did.

Speaker 1 (02:24:43):
Damn thing don't fit. Yeah, well he wasn't a bright man,
so as Johnny Cochran, going, make sure you do this,
make sure you do this. Oh, I know one way
they give you that glove. But somehow it worked, somehow
that worked. Well, you know what we used to say
in high school, rob no glove, no love, This glove

(02:25:03):
don't fit. Well, here's a magnum. Alan wasn't buzz Aldron
punching people who said the moon landing was fake. That's
what I'm saying. Yes, after some dude in the street. Yeah,
so he's always out there. Listen, if anybody has any
reason to punch somebody in the mouth for saying that
the moon landing was fake, it's Michael Collins. He didn't
even get to go down air. He had a orbit

(02:25:25):
the goddamn thing, right, He's like, looking down there, that
looks pretty cool. Neil Armstrong gets to say all the
fun stuff. Hang on, I'll be back in a couple hours.
I'm just up here. I'll just take care of business.
I go around this thing again and just wait boit.
People guys here right, there is a contingent of our

(02:25:45):
audience who gets in a blue hot heat when I
say that. I think Kim Kardashian is crazy hot, and
I think some people obviously there's a room for you
to legitimately not think she's pretty. But I wonder if
some people's perception of her clouds that judgment. I think
she's pretty, I think she's gore. I mean that to me,

(02:26:07):
is the best example of what money Well spent on
cosmetic surgery is. Yeah, there's not a there's not a
centimeter out of place.

Speaker 10 (02:26:18):
On Well, right, But there's also a centimeter not a
centimeter that's real, and I think that's part of what
people don't like about her.

Speaker 1 (02:26:24):
I listen, all right, but that ship is sailed most beautiful.
I mean even the women that you think are naturally
endowed are going to tell you if you were to
get them at a party, Oh I had this, done this, done.

Speaker 10 (02:26:34):
This, then I think she's beautiful. I struggle with their
celebrity and that makes me not like them. That's everyone
that ship sailed too. Oh, I know, but I can't
help myself, Like, if there was no Robert Kardashian, there
wouldn't be them who.

Speaker 1 (02:26:50):
You want to talk about OJ, and that's why they're famous, correct.

Speaker 10 (02:26:53):
And then she's famous because she got drilled in a
sex tape that they helped release like that. But that's
really not ass not great when you're involved in your
own sex tape, your mom helping, like, it's all weird, man.

Speaker 1 (02:27:06):
But I've always kind of taken umbrage with the notion
that there is a right way to get famous.

Speaker 5 (02:27:15):
Is there?

Speaker 1 (02:27:16):
Yeah? I think? I mean famous fame is agnostic, right,
Fame doesn't. It's like money, Money doesn't know how you
made it, right, there's blood money. The money doesn't know
where it came from, and the fame doesn't know where
it came from. You are famous. You can't become unfamous,
noem less famous, you can't become unfamous. I thought of
his kind of you know, it's like the universe fame

(02:27:37):
is indifferent to you. It doesn't care how you get it.
And why should we? Why do Why is there a
right way to get famous? I don't know.

Speaker 10 (02:27:45):
I just think to me, that just feels so gross.
And it's not that they had a sex tape come out.
That happens to people, you know, whether people are involved
in it or not. There's always going to be up
for debate where Pam and Tommy in the know when
that take right. Hers just felt so vile to me,
in the sense that they were involved in it from

(02:28:06):
the beginning and the mother was pushing it like that
is just gross.

Speaker 1 (02:28:11):
Yeah, No, I understand there's a moral issue, which I
think is what it's a moral thing, but also like
what are you doing?

Speaker 10 (02:28:17):
Yeah, but also like like you're gonna put a movie
out of your daughter getting banged on it?

Speaker 1 (02:28:22):
Like you vivid? You really want to be famous?

Speaker 10 (02:28:26):
I guess, man, But I don't know. Maybe maybe that
makes me approved, but I have to think.

Speaker 1 (02:28:30):
In their mind, they're like, Okay, here's a bunch of
things we want to do, like legit stuff. How do
we get there? What about a sex tape? Okay, might
not have been choice one, but if it, you know,
she was Paris Hilton's party pal before. She had all
that work done.

Speaker 10 (02:28:45):
Great in the in the One Night in Paris film
got plenty of use in my house, but I I
never saw that.

Speaker 1 (02:28:52):
You never saw it. She way too bony for my taste.

Speaker 10 (02:28:54):
No, I'm not saying she isn't, but it was still
still neat to see Paris Hilton doing what Paris Hilton
was doing. No, but the Kim Kardashian thing just was,
like I said, if it was just her and she
was involved, it's one thing. But if you need fame
and success that much that as a parent you're willing
to push that out there, there's something wrong with you, period,

(02:29:15):
And I'll never be able to like look past that.
So when I look at them, that's all I see.
So the keeping up with the Kardashians, the Chloe, the whatever,
the other one's name Courtney Courtney, it's great, and you
could see that one of them is a self made
billionaire because they started a cosmetic company.

Speaker 1 (02:29:30):
I don't know which one that good.

Speaker 10 (02:29:31):
They've all done great things with the money they had,
but I really really struggle with any of them being
what they are because of where it started and how
they got it. It's just very gross to me.

Speaker 19 (02:29:45):
Hey, Alan, Rob listen of podcasts. You were talking about
slag and I'm forty four years old and I have
a seventeen year old all the way down to a
ten month old, and wo to use it being goofy
and things like that. And I get eye rolls too.
But my only problem is the only place that I've

(02:30:08):
learned my new slang is from you guys, which are
older than me.

Speaker 1 (02:30:13):
What do I do here? He's forty four, he's getting
his slang so he can keep up with his kids
from us. That's uh, that is some low key riz, right,
that is some low key risk. I think I think
there's probably a better way to do it, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 10 (02:30:33):
I'm thinking you could probably get a little bit I
don't know, you know, maybe jump on a website or do.

Speaker 1 (02:30:42):
Coming from us, Alan, that's the listen, that's smart. You
don't know where all of your amazing information is going
to come from. I mean, we're good, we're good, we're good,
We're not nothing sus about us, Rob. I mean, we
really want to be his alpha. I don't want to
be his sigma. That's true. I mean I surely don't
want to be as bit. Listen, when we're not here,

(02:31:07):
we're at home installing skibbitty toilets, and I'm just worried.

Speaker 10 (02:31:10):
I'm worried that getting everything from us is going to
just make him chopped in his kid's eyes. I understand,
you know what I mean, I just stand same. I
don't know if it's going to be I'm not saying
it's terrible. I'm saying it's terrible, but well, it'd be careful,
that's what he's saying. He's like, what should I do
about this? I'm like, I don't know, Well, how old

(02:31:33):
do you?

Speaker 1 (02:31:33):
Says all this was seventeen seventeen, and then he has
like a real little one, you're not going to teach
the little one slang, So.

Speaker 10 (02:31:39):
He probably if he wants to score points with the
seventeen year old, he probably should just like, if he
wants to keep it cool and not look like he's
trying too hard, he should just launch a gat out
there and just see what happens. Yeah, and if the
seventeen year old picks up on the gat and goes, ah,
Dad's pretty cool, like he knows what that means. That's
probably that's a good launching point for him. That's your

(02:32:02):
entree into the whole thing. I would say, I would say,
be like Sea, get and just see what happens. And
then I mean, listen, you gotta know what you're getting
yourself into. Yeah, that means you know, girl, your ass, thick,
bring your ass, bring your ass.

Speaker 1 (02:32:21):
So I think if he goes with that, it's a
good it's a good thing to do for that age group. Welp,
that keyword is the last gwop you're gonna get for
this week.

Speaker 10 (02:32:32):
Now, I must leave you as the Brady bunch is
on and I find four of those children incredibly arousing.

Speaker 1 (02:32:39):
Get out of here.

Speaker 15 (02:32:41):
Be careful of what you say, Be careful in every way,
Be careful of what you do. Big Brother is watching you.
Be circumspect and discreet, Stay light on your mental feet.

(02:33:01):
One slip and you know you're through. Big Brother is
watching you.

Speaker 1 (02:33:08):
And on we all narratives.

Speaker 15 (02:33:11):
Remember Obedience page and when you watch that Davy screens,
remember it works both ways. You disappear in a wink.
Unless you can double think, you'll vanish into the blue.

(02:33:33):
Big Brother is watching you.
