Jack Daniels before every show.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't know, she doesn't do that.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
No, you owe me?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Makes you think I don't already do that. Oh, Jack Daniels.
Before every show, I call him John Daniels, Rob. I'd
never presume in our friendship, Jess Hi hell, Jess is
in her phone screener, and we wanted to introduce her
to the audience today and let her tell you a

(03:03):
bit about herself. Now I should mention our friend Cody Allen, Healthful,
pound cake Brown. He posted this thing on his Instagram yesterday,
which led a lot of these audience members to believe.
And I have to assume it was coincidental and not
by design, because why would it be by design in

(03:23):
his part? A lot of people thought that Cody was
back on the show. Yeah, I see most of this
big long like life changes video, but it was mostly
stuff here from the show interspersed with you know, some
photos and things from you know, his life. And I
was watching it with rapt attention. I couldn't wait for
the big reveal at the end. I don't know that

(03:44):
there was one. No. I think maybe it was just
like a kind of a check in, like, hey, here's
what's going on, blah blah blah. But a lot of people,
because I had mentioned that we were going to be
introducing the audience to the new phone screen today after
chasing our tales for months. There was there was some
great comments too. They were like, you know, because people
are sending me all kinds of DMS, and I know

(04:06):
what you guys are up to. You kept saying she
and her, we know exactly what you're doing. It's you're
gonna introduce her as a wish of bitch wood. And
I'm like, no, well, you know what, Tune in and
find out our new phone screener is not a wish
of bitch wood. You know how I love it. You
know how he left before and we said, hey, do
you want to come back for the exact same money?

Speaker 4 (04:24):
He said, yes, I do. I'm gonna go with this
full time john and benefits to come back.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's not what I'm going to So we found Jef.
We had to talk to a handful of people over
the past few months, all very nice people, but Rob
and I knew we were like, somebody's going to fall
into our lap, and that is kind of what happened
with Jess. Oh yeah, she's friends with Corey Rotick. Jess,

(04:49):
were you guys in the same band or you were
in you were in like concurrent bands. We were in
the same band. You guys, were you in speed Rail?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Okay, So Corey Roddick hits Rob up like a whi
and he goes, hey, you guys should talk to my
friend Jess.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
She's awesome, she's a performer. She's back.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Because you had been in Chicago and so just kind
of lay the broad strokes for people tell them about you.
Other than Corey telling us to talk to you. It
wasn't some big, long drawn out thing. I think we
kind of took to you pretty quickly.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (05:23):
I mean, so I was in a van with Corey
when I was nineteen, I want to say, nineteen twenty,
and then I moved on and then I got a
job out in Chicago. I was in a band out
there called Sushi Roll. Spend a year and a half
out there, just had a baby, move back to Cleveland
in May.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So yeah, Rob, that's in Yeah, listen, hey, listen.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, a kid will bring you back.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah. Of course you wanted to be around family and friends.
And I threw all my stuff away. I was like,
I am never coming back to Cleveland. Now. What kind
of things would you throw away that you would have
needed had you known you were going to come back
all my kitchen stuff you didn't have you had kitchen
things in Chicago, Well my roommate did so. Oh gladly
I didn't have to rebuy that. Oh I see, Oh

(06:08):
so your things. Oh yeah, I have a whole apartment.
I lived there for three and a half years. Do
you have a spatuling?

Speaker 12 (06:15):
Do I?

Speaker 13 (06:15):
Now?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
You have a spatul? Announce spirtle? What is that? It's
like it's elongated spatula and it's.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Spot that sounds like a Pokemon.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh my daughter, she's waiting a Pokemon right now because
she's nine, you know, So that's when you're nine, you're
you're federally mandated to be in a Pokemon and a
squirtle spurtle. Maybe I'm thinking of two things. Okay, so
you do have one of those? Now I do?

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Do you have a whisk?

Speaker 8 (06:42):
No?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
I have to imagine that most of your implements are
probably more infant related. Yeah, a little bit. Hold your bambino?
Uh he is five months five months baby baby? Fresh
out the shoot. Yeah, I was out in the basement
in Aroar and for the finals of that bud Light
football thing.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Rob was out there.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
We had the whole crew out there, and it was
a lot of fun, by the way, and congrats to
what's his name? Who's the guy won? Aaron Brown of Lyndhurst,
Ohio was the winner. This guy was just draining shots
for this thing. He's going to Vegas. He ended up
with three hundred and eight points. But I went up
to this woman. There were a table of people there
that were saying hi to me and you know, taking
pictures or whatever, and this woman is saying, you were

(07:22):
holding a baby and it looked like a brand new baby,
and I go, oh, just my standard thing I think
of as I go, oh, that thing's right out of
the shoot. And she just kind of looked at me
like she either didn't understand what I was saying or
it was highly inappropriate in mixed company. But I was like, well,
that's you know, I'm being folksy, I mean folksy. Five months. Yeah,
he's a lot of freshy. So you're happy to be

(07:42):
out of the house, then I am. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (07:44):
And he's just started daycare Birtle or not state for
both of us, Yeah, right, first day.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Is he doing all right his daycare? I think so?
He looks happy. Good Rob, do you care if her
kid is doing well in daycare. Yes, I do, I don't.
I mean, I hope that he he he he. I
hope that he is. But it's not going to change
my life. If he's not.

Speaker 9 (08:06):
He's changing mind either, But I can at least I'll
pretend for the first couple of.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Days like me a little bit.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yes, all right, good, well we will. I kind of
wanted to get the log line there from you. We
will obviously learn things here and there about Jess along
the way. But the important thing is that when you
call the show now, you will hear those dusky tones
coming through the other end of the phone.

Speaker 9 (08:30):
I still get to work that part out, but yes,
that's what you know. That's that's eventually the plan. Well,
nothing works, allan. They send us all this new stuff
that looks really pretty much like these studios, but then
they don't work, Like nothing work.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
So she can't answer phones today.

Speaker 9 (08:43):
Well, no she can. I just have to go back
there and set it up in the studio, so that
way she can because you're going back.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah understood, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah yeah.

Speaker 14 (08:56):
The Car Show on one hundred points MMS study show
that listening to classical music can temporarily.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Raise your IQ. I feel pretty smart if.

Speaker 14 (09:11):
You're looking for the opposite effects.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
Just day tuned Reellen Cook Show on one hundred point
seven w MMS.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Two one six, five seven eight one double oh seven
or eight hundred and three four eight one double oh seven.
You'll hear jas on you their new phone screen when
you call. Is it working in there?

Speaker 5 (09:34):
You know?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Somebody's saying to me.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I think they're correct, Rob. They said, you know, maybe
if it didn't cater that Turkey dinner last week, the
phones would work.

Speaker 12 (09:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Boy, I can't help but think. You know, it's a
zero sum game around here. I can't help but think
that might be the case. But you can hear us, Jess,
and we can hear you, sure Cam.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I got a text from Leslie.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
She goes, I don't have a penis, but she's making
it move, So yeah, no way we go. Rob is
a nutsack for posting the pound cake video yesterday. What
does that mean?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Why am I a nutsack? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Because I speculations. But how did you do that?

Speaker 9 (10:26):
I don't know, because apparently they thought that that meant
Cody was coming back.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
But that's a them problem. None of you problem. I
would I would agree with you.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, but I mean I would argue that they are
said nutsack. I see, but it's fine. Alan, I'm glad
you're a live today. I need some radio fun. Hey,
I can't promise anything, all right, what are you talking
to me for? God, it's a Monday. I had a
really bad weekend. I got to talk about the rough
stuff at the top of the show. You know, we're
on a high because we have a new person with

(10:54):
us on the show and I have to immediately temper
it rob with really really bad news. Yeah, that I
had to put my dog to sleep on Friday. I
was getting more than a few messages from people that
are like, what are you guys off now? Every Friday
because we were off Flatty So our dog we have.
For those of you who have been with the show
for a long long time, we had a mini Australian

(11:17):
shepherd named June Carter Cox. We called her Juno. I
thought it was a funny nickname because people would be like, oh,
like the movie and I go, no, like the Canadian Grammy.
I thought it was funny. Not everybody laughed, but that
was really for me. But she would have been fifteen
years old this coming February. And you know, I'm not
real good with the emotional stuff, Rob, I'm really good

(11:39):
with the logistics. I'm really good in a crisis. I
can get things done. I can make sure that the
trains are running on time. My emotional capacity because of
decades and decades of stuffing things down, you know, you
get far enough away from that stuff, and it's hard
to access them just in general, which can make things
difficult for the people who are around you, been close

(12:00):
to you. But we had been planning this for a
little bit because our dog had been kind of in
a diminished capacity over time, and so she was fourteen
years old. We had been in Cleveland about a year
when we got her. We got her at eight weeks
old from a breeder, and she has been My wife
is taking it the hardest because, you know, with me

(12:22):
at work all the time and our kid at school
a lot of the year, you know, she has been
her constant buddy the whole time. So it was very,
very difficult to Friday. That's where we were gone. We
had some cancer cut out of her a few years ago,
but she came back stronger than ever. But over time,
you know, she would start to kind of have seizures,
and she goes blind in one eye, and she could

(12:43):
still get around, like we take her on walks, and
she knew where she was, and you know, she would
she would she was up a lot during the night.
I'd hear a clicking and clacking, you know, her her
nails on the on the hardwood and that kind of stuff.
And so we made the decision probably about a week ago,
and anticipation is the worst part. We also tried to
impart to our daughter, who's nine, and you know, we

(13:05):
had the dog longer than we had the kid, but
it's the only dog that our daughter has known, and
so they were obviously really really close too. And I
have had three dogs in my life, but I've never
gone through this before. I lost the first two dogs
to breakups. So my girlfriend and ex wife, respectively, they

(13:26):
had to go through this, right. I was talking to
my ex wife about this, and she called to offer
her condolences because I've been talking to my daughter about it,
my older daughter, because I was going to see her
at Michigan State in a performance on Saturday night, and
I explained kind of how we had made the decision

(13:47):
to do this, and so the anticipation is the worst part.
But I also try to tell my daughter, but this
is way better than if she got hit by a car,
or if it just happened, you know, just out of
the blue. That would have been way way worse. In
a universe of options, this is arguably the best one, right,
And I was kind of recounting to her. You know,
our friend Mary Santora is going to be in here tomorrow,

(14:10):
and she was one of those people who didn't really
properly get to say goodbye to her parent because her
dad got sick and died during COVID, and there were
so many people who had to contend with that, who
were saying they're goodbyes over iPads or in these you know,
my dad died post COVID, and so we got you know,
we're all still still had to wear by summer of
twenty two, we all still had.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
To wear masks in hospitals, which is.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Fine, but we got to spend time with him and
say goodbye to him and everything we wanted to do.
And that's kind of how it was with Juno. So
we had somebody come out to the house on Friday,
and again this was all. We had done as much
preparation as we possibly could. We had filled out like this,
there's like this, these all these little things you can do,

(14:53):
you know. We were kind of joking about how back
in the day, if you had a dog, you know,
the dog died in your dad throughom in the backyard
and that was it. Now, well there's all these things
you can do, right, So we like wrote little cards,
and there's this kind of what looks like a nylon
duffel bag that you can put your pet in, because
we were going to bury her in the garden, which
is what we did. And I really thought, I don't

(15:16):
know why I thought, because it's such an intense thing
and I'd never gone through it before. I don't know
why I thought I was going to sail through this,
not sail through it. But I feel much more comfortable
being the person who's kind of taking care of business
while other people are. I like to keep the ship
afloat while other people are are having a really, really
hard time. And I knew that my wife and my
daughter would have a really hard time. But rob, as

(15:39):
I was digging that hole, I lost it. Yeah, I
could not. So we had a veterinarian come out to
the house and we sat on the couch with her
and we had filled out, you know, we did like
the little paw prints and all that kind of stuff.
And obviously the weird thing is when I was out
in the garden digging this hole, it was like a

(16:00):
three by three by one, you know, like a nine
cubic feet of dirt that I went and bought because
I'm like, I'm not going to put this, you know,
the stuff I dug out, I wasn't going to put
back in there, so I went and bought a bunch
of dirt. She's lying there in the grass watching me
do this, right, like she doesn't know what's going on,
and she's loocid. It wasn't like she was you know,

(16:22):
couldn't walk. It wasn't like that. But we had the
conversation you know, with a dog in that condition, the
longer you wait, you're doing that for you.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
You're not doing it for them, right, And she doesn't know.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
But she was starting to have little seizures more frequently,
and it was like, well, this would be the time,
you know, when when it's still, when she's not so bad.
Because if you ever talked to people who've waited too
long with their pet. It's terrible. It's an awful, awful situation.
And so.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
But yeah, she was lying there in the grass.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
When I was digging the hole and we had the
veterinarian come out.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
And I think about this woman too.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
I'm like, gee, nobody is ever happy to see this
woman right when she shows up. She's very nice and
you know whatever, but like this is a big part
of her job is bringing this little case around where
they sedate them and then they put the stuff in
them and then they and then they're done. And my
daughter did not want to be there for the very
very end, so she went up in her room. Whatever.
But it was a Friday, was a terrible, terrible day,

(17:22):
and so uh and so I we put her in
the thing and kind of wrapped her in sweatshirt and
put her in and put all the cards in there,
and I put her in the hole and I filled
it in and there's a little thing on the on
the marker, you know. And but it was that's why
we were gone on Friday, because we were putting our
our dog to sleep, who is again the only dog

(17:44):
that we've had. We've been in Cleveland. So she is, uh,
you know, she's been my wife's pal the whole way through.
And it was just and and so then I'm going
out of town on Saturday because I'm going to Michigan
State to see my older daughter perform. And yeah, so
it was Friday was stuff. And again, I know a
lot of people have gone through something like that.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
I never had.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I mean, I guess maybe I'm fortunate in that I'm
fifty four. I'd never had to contend with that before.
But we knew was coming, and the anticipation really is
the worst part, because you know, the late the veterinarian
kind of had to walk us through it. For instance,
I didn't know that their eyes would stay open. Yeah,
and so I was like, okay, well that's a fun
little twist, but listen, it's gonna be fine. Gave her

(18:30):
a great life, had a fantastic life. The weird thing
is how quiet everything is. You know, she wasn't a
noisy dog. I mean she would bark when people were
walking by or things like that, but it's all the
little you have dogs, Yeah, it's all the little ambient
noises that you didn't realize were there. Obviously, there's the
visual stuff, right, It's not like we removed every remnant

(18:51):
of the fact that we had a dog. So like
the water and the food bowl are still there and
all the little you know, because she was having a
harder time getting around the last few months, we bought
a bunch of those like foam steps, yeah, you know,
like the JetWave to the to the plane, little foam
steps so she could get up onto the couch and
things like that. She still could like hop up, but
we're like, well, if you take if you use the steps,

(19:12):
that'll be easier for you. And so all of those
remnants obviously are still around, but it's all like the
little ambient things that you don't know. When I come
home now, my brain knows she's not going to be there,
but I still keep thinking like she's gonna come up.
And so obviously these are things that a lot of
you have gone through, many of you on multiple occasions.

(19:33):
You know, there's the old Carlin joke about you know,
life is a series of dogs, or you're purchasing a
small tragedy because you know it's gonna you know, you're
gonna outlive it. Some people have have done it on
multiple occasions. Some of you living out in the sticks.
You got pet cemetery back there. But this is the
only animal that I have in my backyard. Rob, that's awful.

(19:54):
That is three feet underground. Yeah. So Friday was a
really really rough day, and everybody has a lot of
people will cremate their their pet, and I had to
ask that early on. I was like, are we going
to do that or And my wife's like, no, I
want her. I don't want to do anything like that
to her. I don't think she could get her head
around that.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
She goes.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Plus, it's like when they cremate people, you don't know
who you're getting, right, You're getting part of Grandma. It's
not like they're cleaning it every time, so you know
you're getting somebody half of somebody else's Bernie Mountain dog.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
And I didn't want anything like that. So that's why
we were gone on Friday, was because I was I
was putting we were putting our dog to sleep.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
So take that your sarcastic pricks.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well, I know, but it is funny because they're like
money I got every Friday. I'd be like, yeah, what
if we are Yeah, yeah, we're taking Fridays off. Yeah, no,
and that was yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 9 (20:46):
And you said it in that when you know when
you said it's the subtle things that you start to
realize when you said, you know, you could hear her
walking around at night, she was getting up more and
more often. That's the stuff I remember when I had
to deal with this the last time, is like, that's
what you missed. Like you're you're laying there and you're like,
oh my gosh, you did move around a lot at night.
Like now you're just nothing, right, That's that's the hardest

(21:07):
part man.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
And I can and and and you know, gratefully, I
can count on this audience. You know, here's a text,
No one gives a shrimp about your dog. Shut the
f up. So it's things like that, you know what
I mean. That is the reaction that I've come to
expect from this audience. And you take the bad with
the good. But yeah, it was tough. But again, my
my wife will end up taking the brunt of it

(21:29):
because again I'm here all the time, R and H.
You know, during the school year, obviously my daughter is
at work. And uh so that's the you know, that's
going to be the toughest part for awesome dog. She
was awesome, just the best. And so yeah, we'll see

(21:49):
you know, but it'll be you know, rough for a while.
But a lot of people have gone through it, you know,
and so it's it sucks, but that's why Friday was
just a very very hip.

Speaker 9 (22:00):
Well that shows you how much you know, people love
and adore dogs right as you're willing to put yourself
through that numerous times in your life, you know what
I mean, you didn't have to deal with it until
now because of how you lost your other pets.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Yeah, and she was in you know, you kind of
get this.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
You kind of get lulled into this false sense of
security too, because I'm like, well she's almost fifteen. But
she kind of did start to diminish, like she kind
of did fall off the cliff toward the end there,
you know, the last three four months. Maybe she was
just just having a harder and harder time. And like
I said, you know, we had the conversation. I'm like
people who keep their petron for a long time, like
I understand it, but you're not doing it for them.
You're doing it for you, And it's probably better to

(22:36):
try to keep them in mind because they don't know
what's going on obviously, you know, they just went to sleep.
They don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I just had Bear, my oldest dog, at the vet,
and he he's he's fine.

Speaker 9 (22:47):
Like I started asking the questions. He's fourteen too, you know,
and I'm like, all right, big dog though, right or no?

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (22:54):
And I'm like, you know, how does he look? That's
like he looks great. Like his hearing is fine, his
vision's fine. He's starting to get a little bit of
that like glassy eye, yep, but his vision's fine.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
He's not having any problems.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
He has like those old guy bumps, you know what
I mean, he gets like those bumps on his skin. Yeah,
but he doesn't have there's nothing wrong with them.

Speaker 15 (23:11):
You know.

Speaker 9 (23:12):
They're like but when it happens, it happens fast. Yeah,
you know, and then you just like you got to
be prepared with the plant.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
So allhen I was thirteen when I dug the hole
my first dog was buried in. Dog was twelve, But
I vividly remember my dad bringing her home in the
trunk and handing me a shovel.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
I'll tell you what that is.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
The strangest thing, too, is if you've ever held because
it's so counterintuitive, because you're so used to them being
kind of boisterous and whatever. When you hold a lifeless animal. Yeah,
oh my god. I mean we this past summer, for
whatever reason, we had two or three groups of rabbits
that were making residents in my backyard, and invariably one

(23:48):
or two of them would be lost. They would just
go out there dead and I'd have to grab them.
Our bunny is one thing, right, A lifeless bunny is
one thing. It's small. When you have a dog that
does you know the lights are turned out?

Speaker 4 (23:59):
That's well.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
The weight, right, the weight even such a small she
wasn't a heavy dogs you small, right.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
She was probably forty pounds.

Speaker 9 (24:08):
Yeah, so forty pounds of what she always was jumping
on you or doing something is a much different forty pounds.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
It's such as it's a much different feeling. And you
got to bury it deep too. Listen.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
You look for the silver linings wherever you can rob.
And I got to tell you, all that core work
I've been doing is really paid a good job. I
thought for sure I was going to be sore as
balls the day after I dug that hole, and I
felt well at least. I didn't feel like a million bucks,
but I was not sore. So you take your little
winds wherever you can and you go from there. It

(24:46):
was on my mind all weekend. Man, I honestly got
it sucks. I just I.

Speaker 9 (24:50):
Empathize and of course my thinking to the kids and yeah,
it's just always the worst part.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Well, she was also a cover model. You know, there
was a short lived publication called C L E. Dog
and she was on the cover of that with us
many years ago. My daughter was maybe two and a
half or so, and so that's been framed in the
one of the side bathrooms for many years. So she
had a good run, She had a good life. Yes,
she was watching me dig the hole. She didn't know

(25:18):
what was going on, oh, of course, and I was
letting her outside. She wanted to walk around in the backyard,
and I was back in the garden. We had made
the decision that that's where we would lay her to rest,
was back in the garden, and so yeah, she would
kind of walk around. She was still mobile to some degree,
and she just kind of lay there and watch me

(25:39):
do it.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
And she took that opportunity to speak for the first time.
She did was silly?

Speaker 10 (25:43):
Bro?

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Really man, that's going on?

Speaker 5 (25:45):
Bro?

Speaker 4 (25:45):
You think I can't figure out what you're doing? Yeah, Allen.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Unfortunately we've been left to assume that every time you're off,
I heart just fired everyone. Hey listen, every time I'm off,
I wonder if I'm going to come back. So can
I have a my locker with my name? I want
to help with that. You need to worry when you
don't hear us when we're not here. What if you

(26:09):
if you don't hear an Alan Cox show best of
and it's just somebody else, that's when you should be worried.
Oh if somebody filling in, that's that's how that's how
they do it, right.

Speaker 9 (26:20):
If they're going to fire us, there's nothing, there's no like, hey,
here's a best of.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
There's just it's over, it's gone, it's done.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's when you should scrub from the website, right, Yeah,
that's when you should be like, oh Jesus, maybe something's up.

Speaker 9 (26:33):
But a random day off when you're hearing us, I'm
best of? No, we're good. There was a reason we
took a day off.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Sorry, Yeah, well that's okay. Hey, white Boy Ricky is
back on the phone. Hello, what.

Speaker 16 (26:51):
I would talk to you for a minute. I went
to the Doobie Brothers concert.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, did you win? Did you win tickets from us?

Speaker 17 (27:02):
No?

Speaker 18 (27:02):
I didn't win.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Am I talking to you for win? Never let you win? Well,
it's a part of my it's part of my long
term keep White Boy Ricky from ticket giveaways programs.

Speaker 16 (27:13):
I want to tell you this. I won tickets once
to Guns N' Roses and I was in the very last.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Seat of the very Oh good for you. Yeah fuck yeah,
Well those are the giveaways.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 16 (27:30):
Listen, rob I think I got a picture of you
at the at the concerts the Coral Reefer band opened.

Speaker 12 (27:37):
Up for him.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, I was there. It was front row.

Speaker 16 (27:39):
I thought I saw you Samson, Yeah, yeah that was me.

Speaker 19 (27:43):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 18 (27:45):
Hey you listen.

Speaker 16 (27:46):
There's a restaurant is Coral Beach. You got family there?

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I don't.

Speaker 16 (27:52):
Simply delicious?

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, We're We're That was my stripper name back in college.
Rick Yeah, right, thank you, white boy Ricky checking in
on time right left.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah, it's like talking to Dick from day.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Can we hear anything on this, whether he's alive or dead? Yeah,
Robert Anna, I tell you I have buried Dick in
the garden of my He sat in the grass and
watched me while I dig the hole. Hey, what do
you think the browns are gonna do? And I tossed
him in. I had to bury him deep. I don't
want the other animals to get to him. We're fenced in,

(28:28):
but still things get underneath the fence. It sure did.
And then I just put my tiny foot on his
butt crack plopped him in there. Hey, what's going on about?

Speaker 17 (28:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (28:42):
If he doesn't call today, then I think there's something
to worry. Well, I'm not gonna just win. Should do
her standard like you got?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah, yeah, should be well. I have to assume that
maybe we're low. I don't know where we are in
the rotation. You know, he famously calls every radio station
within a four hundred mile radius, whatever the area of
dominant influence is to borrow an industry term. That's where
he's calling. So I don't know. Maybe he's making the rounds.
I don't know where we are in the rotation on

(29:10):
his rundown sheet. But okay, thank you white boy Ricky
checking in Rob pretending that he saw you. His joke
was you were front center dancing to the Coral Reefer
Band That would be Jimmy Buffett's back up band. This
still tours open for the Dubies at Blossom and his
joke was so oh. Despite Rob's blue hot hatred of

(29:31):
one James Buffett, he was there dancing, just couldn't avoid
the groove. Although I would say that the Coral Reefer
Band in the micro and Jimmy Buffet in the Macro
not known for groove per se. No, I don't think.
But what are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Hm?

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Kelly in Bedford Allen, I actually called the show after
I had to put my cat storm me down, and
you were very kind.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Well, Rob, that.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Doesn't sound like me. I want to watch show. She
actually called. That made her smile.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
I mean, you can't compare putting a cat down and
putting a dog down.

Speaker 9 (30:12):
I mean, I'm just kidding, just kidding it as a joke. Honestly, God,
I swear to God, I'm kidding. Cat people don't come
at me. I was just joking.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, cat people, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
You got an animal jets in the house.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
You got a little one.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
I think she's on the phone. She is okay, and
she's screaming.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, make sure you mark Dick's grave with a big rock.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Somebody said, no, hope, he's okay. I mean, we only
got it.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
We got a message last week that somebody had been
on some local radio board online always trustworthy, by the way,
the local radio message boards.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
I can't believe those things still exist. I can't either.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
When somebody said that, I was like, are you calling
me from nineteen ninety six? Are you a are you
a time traveler? Who knew? I mean maybe they made
a subreddit or something like that.

Speaker 9 (30:57):
But one of our bosses it goes in those things
and chats every once in a while.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I know that really why it's a lose lose situation.
Ye if they like it doesn't matter, and if they
hate you, it doesn't matter. There's plenty to go around.
Hold on, okay, sorry pilot error. Some people were texting me.
I fixed it, thank you.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
People couldn't hear the phone call on you Jo. With
all of the new buttons I had to press today
to prep for Jess joining the show, I neglected to
press that one.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
So I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Wait to go.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Alan, Hey listen, it's my fault. Sorry, all right, you
got this? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Alan?

Speaker 2 (31:40):
It's called dead weight for a reason. When a life
leaves the body, it actually seems heavier. Well, that is nonsense.
That's nonsense. When something's alive, obviously it's tensing its muscles
even at rest. But yeah, picking up my dog after
you know she was done, it was yeah, because you know,
picking her before, it's like they're they're moving in a

(32:01):
certain way, they're going with you, like, yeah, going with me.
And when I picked her up and like her head
went back over my shoulder, I was like Jesus Christ. Yeah,
So it was the same.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Like I'm ready to cry.

Speaker 14 (32:12):
I know.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
I just wanted to get through it. I want everybody
can text me and call me a pussy that's fine. No,
well I'm just saying that that happens too, and that's fine.
I just wanted to get it out because if I
wasn't sure if I was going to talk about it
at all. But again, we've talked about her a lot
over the years, and people who've seen photos and blah
blah blah. So to whatever degree, that is part of

(32:33):
the fabric of the conversations here.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
That's what was going on on Friday The Allen Carr Show.

Speaker 14 (32:40):
On one hundreds.

Speaker 8 (32:45):
WMMS Cleveland and iHeartRadio station called the Allan Cox Show, and.

Speaker 15 (32:52):
Then the radio starts playing, which made me the worst
and made it arpuzare.

Speaker 19 (32:57):
One, double O seven and.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Double O seven. All the text I'm getting from people
very very nice, conciliatory, but they're all falling under the
RUBRICUV up, Alan, thank you for reminding us that you're human,
don't you know why?

Speaker 20 (33:20):
Rob?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, guaranteed human. That's right, Alan, We are guaranteed human.
We is guaranteed human. We're running things now, that's say,
guaranteed human. Is that so that people know we're not AI.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
So that we're Yeah, we're so committed.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
We do you think a computer would come up with
this crap that we do every day?

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh my god. Yeah, guaranteed human, guaranteed human, of flesh.

Speaker 9 (33:46):
And blood and made What did we say before? It
was something about something being free? Uh free never sounded
so good. Oh, now we say guaranteed human, guaranteed human.
Well listen, I've I think it's an important distinction to make.
Although it occurs to me now that Jess is on
the show and an accomplished singer, I can't be breaking

(34:09):
out into random terrible pitchy songs anymore.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
Rob Oh, I can. I'll still do it all right,
Ain't no shame in my game, dude.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
All right, if I'm singing, it's because I'm feeling Okay.
I was gonna say, yeah, I hit that note, it's coming.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah, this is a good song too. I don't care
what anybody says.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Human League. Yes, one of their B sides was a
song called Jam. It was never a single or a hit,
but it is aptly named. But here we go, Yes,
there you go. See now I'm going to start. You know,
back when we had Erica Laura on the show, she
was a very good singer as well, and always fun

(34:52):
to write dumb songs. You know, we've really leaned heavily
both on our part in the audience submitting songs, you know,
through AI. But it's way more fun to write songs
and to have someone sing them. So, Jess, I'm gonna
be writing such dumb songs for you to sing, almost
sing all together. Wait, yes, oh, it's gonna be so

(35:13):
good anyway. Hey, Cavalier's they had a good weekend, right.
They beat the Pacers in one of those NBA Cup
games on Friday night, beat the Clippers by fifteen last
night here at home. They are up in Toronto tonight
to play the Raptors. That's a seven o'clock tip.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Mistics.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
These guys getting some mailbox money too, because this was
getting used to some insurance company used it to great effect.
Few years ago, people were like rear ending each other,
you know, in their cars, rob and they were using
I'm only human, or were people messing up a guy
on a forklift comical injuries, you know, very broad comedy

(35:55):
using the song human their calves Raptors tonight up there
in Toronto. We six thirty is your pregame here on
MMS seven o'clock here tip off, and you can also
listen in the iHeartRadio app. Of course, the Browns one yeah,
I heard Stansbury going through the x's and o's shoulder.
Sanders the first Browns quarterback in thirty years to win

(36:16):
their first NFL start, And of course he took it
like he was humble, he was understated, he was There
wasn't an ounce of this guy that screamed look at me,
look at me. I think he was just happy to
be part of something that didn't completely suck. Listen, but

(36:36):
He also underscored how he's a very young man.

Speaker 9 (36:40):
You saw the look on Miles Garrett's face. That was
the look on every single face in the bar we
were at yesterday.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Miles Garrett meme like he couldn't believe.

Speaker 9 (36:50):
He turned around and he was like what, Like, you
couldn't believe someone wearing the same color as him made
a throw like that?

Speaker 2 (36:56):
I was I was blown away. That bar exploded. Yeah,
people went crazy. Yeah, we were at the basement yesterday.

Speaker 9 (37:02):
But overall eleven and twenty two to nine and a
touchdown and a pick not too bad.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
And he said something like that, But I like how
he acted like it was all him. Well you saw
what he said too. He was like, yeah, playing what
I could do after one week of practice? Yeah, wait,
why don't I hear this? Hold on, why don't I
hear this? I don't know, Oh, because I have to
get used to the different things here now I have
jess on g I haven't had the okay, here we.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Go, I had different button. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (37:28):
Way, and it's crazy. It's amazing. You know, off for
one week of practice, you know what I mean? This
is one week of practice, so imagine you know what
a full off season looked like it get dangerous, But
it's just a one week of practice. So I'm just
truly thankful. You know that everything happened.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I wanted that one week of practice. Why are you
thinking about the off season? You have to play a
much better team on Sunday. By the way you played
the Raiders, that was it with respect?

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Yeah, like, dude, they were two and eight too.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Well, why wouldn't you be like, I owe it all
to the defense ten sacks, bro, because of that's not
how he was raised that guy. No, but you're playing
a team sport. I agree, forty nine ers are seven
and four? Right, why don't you put your boner back
in your pants now? And then he's like, think we
could do the off season off season?

Speaker 9 (38:18):
I will say that he gives that offense probably the
best chance to win of any option that they have
in that lot.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Sure, right, No, listen to Gabriel is not the guy
good for him?

Speaker 9 (38:28):
And I think you know you're not going to want
to go with Zappy. They're pulling him up off of
your pope. I don't even know who that is.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Don't know the sounds. I don't know the sounds that
are coming out of your mouth right now. But it
was good to see he made a lot of good
calls on the field. You know, he could recognize plays
that were coming his way.

Speaker 9 (38:46):
He's young and and and you know what, to his credit,
he's right, that was one week of practice as a starter.
So when he says the off season, he's not saying,
let's gear everything. He's saying, imagine what I could have
done if I actually trained all the way.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Rue. Oh, that's a great sound, but it comes across
as such a douchey thing. Yeah he's a young guy.
Was he twenty two years old?

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Something like? Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 9 (39:11):
Dion was there and that again, I think that that's
a big part of the problem is people don't want
to have like you don't want to deal with Dion.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Well, people aren't used to. You know, Cleveland Brown's fans
and I'm only the four millionth person to say it,
but Cleveland Brown's fans are in an.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Abusive relationship with this team.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
So it's completely anaethetical to them that they would have
anyone who could puff up their chest to go yeah
check that out.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Yeah, that just doesn't exist in this town with that team.
What was funny we went to dinner after the gig yesterday.
I drove and I member, oh God, for you all.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
This had to have been a fancy establishment.

Speaker 9 (39:48):
Oh no, what come on, It was a nice It
was a town bar, you know, restaurant bar, Robin rouge.

Speaker 21 (39:56):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (39:58):
I met him out and the game was on obviously
every TV, and them being where Melissa and Kelly.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Robert to his family as them. I thought, I said it,
but you go off you know where I was. Yeah,
I met them out.

Speaker 9 (40:13):
Yeah, those people, uh, and we uh CALLI leans over
to me at one point and it was like a
I don't know, completed pass or something.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
You would think they just won the Super Bowl by
the reaction in the place. And she leans over and
she goes Dad like, is this place just like really
into the Browns? And I said, no, they just they
celebrate small things here because.

Speaker 9 (40:36):
Again she's not used to that type of thing. We've
been here for three years, but she doesn't. She's not
out when games are on and sea. So like people
celebrate like that when the Patriots win.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
The AFC, you know what I mean.

Speaker 9 (40:51):
They they go crazy when they win the Super Bowl,
not when they complete a pass.

Speaker 19 (40:55):
Right.

Speaker 9 (40:55):
So it's it's it's just a different thing that she's
not used to. So I'm like, I don't know, you
celebrate every level when your team is struggling, right, like
they have struggled for so long that when there's a
glimmer of hope, like you're like, because I was yelling,
I was like, yeah, you know, of course, you know,
so you get into stuff, and she's like, I've just
never seen it like this before my kids, because you
were spoiled with twenty years of yes Hatriot championships.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah, it's like Bears fans are all walking around with
one hand in their pants right now. We don't usually
get eight and three, no kidding me. It's a good team,
of course. Yeah. And every year we're like, Oh, it's
gonna be this guy, It's gonna be this guy justin Field,
It's gonna be this guy. Nope, Mitch Trubisky for Christ's sake.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Whoops.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Yeah, Hey, drunk Sue, Hey baby.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Hi, what's up, drunk Sue?

Speaker 20 (41:42):
Not much, man, I just felt like I should check in.
It's been a little while.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, it has been a little while, and people do
ask about you, Sue, because we hadn't heard from Dick
from Dayton for a while, and there was a rumbling
that maybe the lights had gone out there, and so
then people started to go, what about drunk Sue? And
I said, you know what, I just don't ever worry
about drunk suit. You're like frigging bulletproof.

Speaker 20 (42:05):
Well yeah, yeah, you know what, I just flick them off.
She sure does that one movie that the guy caught
a bullet in his teeth.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, drunk Sue rob is the original Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
She just shakes it off.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
She shakes off the haters, she shakes off the lovers,
she shakes off the bunions, she shakes off whatever.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
How are the bunyans, Sue?

Speaker 20 (42:29):
Oh my god, progressively worse?

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Oh well, you certainly don't want to hear that. I
was hoping more for a prognosis positive type.

Speaker 9 (42:36):
She's got more. You got the bunions, you got well,
you got a hammer toe. You got something in there too, right,
Oh dude.

Speaker 20 (42:42):
I got a big ass hernia.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
I mean, let's figure it all out then.

Speaker 12 (42:49):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
So basically, so what you're saying is like everything.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
From the waist down is a mess.

Speaker 16 (42:55):
Yeah, yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Okay, she got a big old what constitutes a big hernia.

Speaker 20 (43:03):
When it takes you about you can take two hands
around it, sticking out your belly, and you can't touch
your fingers to your thumb.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
I'll tell you what, sue.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
I saw a viral video last week of a woman
that was getting arrested for.

Speaker 4 (43:18):
She was getting arrested.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
It was bodycam footage, nothing violent in it, but she
was getting arrested for like an outstanding warrant, or she
didn't realize that her driver's license. I don't know what
it was. The reason went viral is because the guy
who came out of the house to try to support
her or whatever, her husband or brother.

Speaker 10 (43:34):
I don't know what.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
This guy looked like a normal guy.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Except he had a massive hernia where his stomach would
normally be. And so even though it looked like he
was a skinny guy with a massive, massive belly, it
was clearly a hernia and it was I didn't envy
that guy at all. So if you even have a
fraction of that, then I don't envy you either.

Speaker 20 (43:54):
Oh no, you can take your your your middle finger,
and your dumb and go around it on both sides,
and you can't touch good fingers won't touch.

Speaker 12 (49:27):
Saying this, But when I when I was getting into
the yeah, the event last night, I couldn't, you know,
stand hard time parking, and it was really cool, like, wow,
a lot of people must really want to come out
here for the for the the finals, for the you know,
ye ye think. And then I'm like, uh, it's pretty popular,
I guess. And then I get in like, oh, yeah,

(49:48):
there's a football game. So that's how dumb I am
with sports. Oh yeah, I forgot about that thing happening
that happened every Sunday that people get excited about.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Right, And thank you Scott for holy dismissing the notion
that he we might want to come hang out with
me and Rob. Anyway, a lot of fun. A guy
did ask me to take a photo with him and
his Dolorean. There was a guy there who drove a Dolori.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
Did you end up doing it?

Speaker 2 (50:09):
I did. I went out there, somebody told me he
was he wanted to take a photo with me, and
I walked all the way out around the building to
the car and there was no one there. So I
walked all the way back and into the building, and
I guess he had been in the men's or something.
I don't know, And then he finally found me and
he's like, hey, would you come he and his wife
and I was like yeah yeah, and.

Speaker 4 (50:24):
He's like, uh, coole.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
He's telling me about the thing, and he was like, oh,
I'll take a if you want to get in, I'll
take a picture of me. No, no, no, no, I don't.
I don't need any of that. But I was like,
it's pretty cool. You know. There's still a handful of
those floating around and people dropped good money on those.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Oh I'm sorry.

Speaker 12 (50:44):
Yeah. When I was a kid and I saw back
to the Teacher, that was my favorite. I always wanted
to see a DeLorean close I worked at I would
have seen that. It's it's uh, it's the same.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
It's okay though.

Speaker 16 (50:54):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (50:54):
I do want to say the reason I called, uh,
did you have condolences again? Underdog? That was the main thing.
People don't realize that, well, I you know family. The
animals are like you haven't. It's like you said, remember
of your family. Especially you know people, they don't have
any actual family. That's all they happy their they're dogs
and hams and stuff those sides.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
It's very it's very rough.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
All right, thank you, Scott, I appreciates are going to
see this in the movie Back to the Future.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
You Lewis besigns the news of her buddy with all
of us.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
I think maybe that guy heard me hit the post
on that song Rob and he was like, I've got
to get a picture with this guy and my DeLorean.

Speaker 9 (51:40):
That was the only thing that I could think that.
That was the only thing that I could think of.
For any reason someone would want you to take a
picture with their car.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Yeah, it's got to be because you did that, Huey Lewis,
tough up.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
That's gotta be.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Or they just go, hey, you're old like me, want

Speaker 5 (53:08):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Rage A gets some much shade cover at Bruce Sprigstaed
on the buzzle this sorry, remember this one, Rob Ghost
of Tom Jod a literary reference that maybe a lot
of people don't get off of the Renegades record that
was maybe twenty five twenty twenty five years ago. Rage
did a full album of covers Renegates a Funk and

(53:29):
Ghost of Tom Joad, which was a Springsteen song Tom
Jode from the book The Grapes of Wrath. Maybe you
had to read it. It is a book that you
have to be forced to read about a family trying
to escape the dust bowl and the Great Depression and
trying to seek their fame and fortune out west, and
things just go from terrible to worse. So I'm traveling

(53:54):
to Michigan State on Saturday because my daughter is performing
in an Operatic Roum production of the Grapes of Wrath.
Oh boy, do you understand what I'm saying. I do
an opera based on the Grapes of Wrath. This is
a guy who had written this specifically for them to perform.

(54:15):
They were doing five shows total, and I was there
for the Saturday night show.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
I'd love to see my daughter perform.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
She'll be graduating, unbelievably from the College of Music there
this coming spring.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
But so.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
As I'm on my way to Michigan, my ex wife
calls and she goes, hey, I just want to let
you know I'm not going to be there because I
couldn't handle one more production. I couldn't handle one more show.
And I was like, what do you mean, and she goes, well,
the Grapes of Wrath. She's like, you're familiar with that.
I said yes, and she said it's an opera rendition
of that. I said, okay, it's three and a half

(54:50):
hours long. Oh my, the intermission was at an hour
forty and my daughter's on the lead. She's in the course,
but she's out there a lot.

Speaker 4 (54:59):
And you know, oh, if.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Now again, I'm not I'm only there because she's in it.
I'm not an especially cultured person, right, I don't care
for opera, but normally when you see opera, Jess, are
you familiar with opera? I know you're a singer and
that doesn't cross all boundaries, but I mean, are you familiar?
Were you ever like, were you ever formally trained or
you just have a good voice? No, I just yeah,
I just kind of just got into it. Yeah, okay, Well,

(55:23):
opera is traditionally in another language. It's German and Italian,
not that there aren't English operas, however, this is a
production in English, but because of the way it's performed,
it's all sung like an opera. So above the stage
is the dialogue. And if you've ever read The Grapes

(55:45):
of Wrath, it's written in kind of like this. There's
a lot of you know, I'm not even sure how
to describe it. They're like, you know, we's gonna find
are It's kind of written in like this kind of
broken key English for lack of a better term. This
might not be a book that you've read since high
school or college, but it's a real goddamn downer. And

(56:10):
so I know that going in pop an edible before
the show sounded like a must edible situation for me
and it. But my ex wife was kind of trying
to give me the heads up. She's like, it's a
real long, real downer of a production. Our kid is
great in it, but other than that, this is what

(56:30):
you're in for. I'm like, okay, And I don't see
my daughter before, but I always see her after and
we chat and I was like, boy, that is a
big swing bro. The guy that developed this, right, she
they've been rehearsing this since the beginning of the school
year NonStop. She finally has some time to herself. They've
been rehearsing this thing, you know, in addition to going

(56:51):
to class and all the other things she has to do,
like eight hours a day of rehearsal for the Grapes
of Wrath. They got the music this past summer. They've
been rehearsing since the beginning of here and the culmination
of these performances. But it's again, I'm sitting there reading
the dialogue above the stage, because when opera is sung,
you can't understand what they're saying, even if it's in English.

(57:14):
And if you're familiar at all with this story, I
mean again, the jod family are these people who move
out west. They go to California hoping for a better life.
Getting a job is like picking peaches and all this
kind of stuff, but there's just nothing for them, and
they end up in a Hooverville and people die, and
then there's flooding, and you know, there's a guy who
kills himself by drowning himself, so the family will have

(57:36):
one less mouth defeat. And the whole thing culminates with
the woman who has been pregnant throughout the whole production.
She gives birth to a stillborn baby, and so there's
a scene where they're passing the baby around and trying
to figure out what to do with that, and the
whole thing culminates in the woman finally determining what her

(57:58):
purpose is in all of this day and despair that
a man who is near death she is able to
save by breastfeeding him. Rob But the line that jumped
out of me, and again, the entire thing is being sung,
so it's like, you know, one of the lit When
they're passing the baby around trying to figureut what to

(58:19):
do with it, the guy goes, God, Almighty, it looks
like a little mummy a little blue mommy.

Speaker 4 (58:26):
And I'm like, oh, okay, it was wild. It was
wild man. What is there to talk about to do
with a dead baby?

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Well, they were trying to determine if it, yeah we
burn it, well do we do with it? I wish
it had been that, because again, these are all the
people in the cast are students from the College of Music,
so they're all singers and they're all out there to
showcase what they do, and so amazing voices all the

(58:54):
way around, but impossible to follow just listening to the singing.
So I'm reading the dialogue above the stage. What do
we do with the baby?

Speaker 9 (59:07):
Let's march and pass it around and talk about it.

Speaker 4 (59:10):
Yeah, so it's.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
I've got a structured settlements and I need cash now.
Cash was what I was gonna say.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Yeah, JG. That's the only opera you know is j G.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Wentworth. You don't know Carmen or Ada or any of
those or.

Speaker 8 (59:29):
You know, no.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
Hits. Yeah it sure does, it really does. Uh, I've
got a structured settlement. So yeah, it was wild, and
it was long boy as advertised, it was three and
a half hours long.

Speaker 4 (59:46):
The edible help didn't hurt. Yeah, didn't hurt.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
But my thing is once you know what you're in for,
you kind of strap in. I just felt like I
wasn't able. You know when they when artists and bands
complain when people are filming them, they're like, live in
the moment, bro get off your phones. I felt like
that's what I was doing by focusing my eye on
the screen rather than the stage.

Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
I was kind of going back and forth.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Sure, and again, the dialogue is real useful for when
the opera is in a foreign language. You know, my
daughter has had to learn German and Italian and all
these other because there are so many pieces that she's
had to learn in those languages, and you sing them
in those languages. And so the rest of us on
Washed Heathens, we're following along with the with the the

(01:00:38):
lyrics of the dialogue. But this operatic version of the
Grapes of Wrath, which big picture, I was like, this
is pretty amazing, But the source material, man, there isn't
a there isn't a cloud, There isn't a silver lining
be found in that story. But it looks like a mummy,

(01:00:58):
a little blue mummy. I was like, boy, that hit
me right in the right spot, right there and sung.
You know, if it was all dialogue. If you've ever
seen just a spoken production of the Grapes of Wrath,
I don't know what kind of liberties this guy took
with the music and lyrics, I don't know, but it

(01:01:19):
was a fantastic production. So all I'm saying to you is,
if you ever get an opportunity somebody goes, hey, I
got a couple of tickets here, somebody's doing an opera
version of the.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Grapes of Wrath, I would say, run, don't walk.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
To see it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, to see it. Run
don't walk to see it. That's right, Alan.

Speaker 22 (01:01:43):
This just shows what a professional you are, coming out
of an uptempo record with a goddamn dead dog story.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Yes, yes, how do you like that? I had to
tell the story of my own dead dog, and I
came out of it with an up tempo, goddamn number.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
Rob just like the great You know, I don't know why.

Speaker 9 (01:02:02):
I don't know why they do it to me, make
me come out of these goddamn up tempo numbers into
a dead dog dedication.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Yeah, and where are those pictures I was supposed to see?
He just gets mad at everybody throws everything in.

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
Dear Casey, this may seem to be a strange dedicated
and you know.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
What, if this guy were still alive, I would have Obviously,
I can tell my own story, I have my own show.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
But Casey, case there was no one bigger than him.

Speaker 9 (01:02:31):
Would have it even bet if he's just sent in
your long distance dedication for that week from my dog Juno.

Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
This may seem to be a strange dedication request, but
I'm quite sincere and it'll need a lot if you
play it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
Recently, there was a death in our family.

Speaker 5 (01:02:46):
He was a little dog named Snuggles, but he was
most certainly a part of let's go start again from
coming out of the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
Record, Play the record, Okay, Snuggles feels made up to
please terrible name.

Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
See when you come out of those up temple, goddamn numbers, man,
is impossible to make those transitions, and then you got
to go into somebody dying. You know, they do this
to me all the time. I don't know what the
hell they do it for, but goddamn it, if we
can't come out of a slow record, I don't understand
it is down on the phone. Okay, I want a
goddamn concerted effort to come out of a record that
isn't a fucking up tempo record. Every time I do

(01:03:22):
a goddamn def dedication, now make it. And I also
want to know what happened to the pictures I was
supposed to see this week.

Speaker 4 (01:03:31):
This a godlast goddamn time.

Speaker 5 (01:03:33):
I want somebody to use his fucking brain to not
come out of a goddamn record that is that's up temple.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
And I got to talk about a dog dying.

Speaker 4 (01:03:42):
Well, that right there.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
We've played that clip a million times, people have heard
it a million times. That right there is the perfect
snapshot of what this industry used to be. That a
guy who was counting down songs every week, right, you
had nothing to do with making the songs. He was
telling you what they were and what number was attached
to them. It was the biggest show in the country,

(01:04:06):
biggest show in the country. That's a that guy could
wield that kind of power.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
I just love the amount of anger.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
It starts so slow and then just builds build so
much hate. Oh, he's so even in his vitriol. He
knows how to tell a story, right, even the even
the behind the scenes stuff he's able to build a story,
and he's got a guy on the phone, a producer, Like,
that's how big that show was? He is done on
the phone. Where's those goddamn pictures? And he was waiting

(01:04:35):
for Dan? Yeah, god damn it. Oh it's so good. Yeah.
Only person that ever calls me is Clem Fandango trying
to have with me, right, trying to be my producer.

Speaker 12 (01:04:49):
Alan, can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:04:51):
I can hear you, Clint Fandango.

Speaker 23 (01:04:53):
Alan Clemdano.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
Yeah, Hellen, has Jess had a chance to meet David
Lee Roth h No, I don't think so.

Speaker 12 (01:05:05):
Dave.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Are you excited about just being.

Speaker 10 (01:05:06):
On the show?

Speaker 19 (01:05:08):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Yeah, it's just like, what the hell is going on here?

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
What's happening? I'm talking to sound clips now?

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Yeah? Ellen? The only opera I know is The Kill
the Rabbit with Bugs Bunny. This is what I'm talking about, right,
That's all most people know. I mean they killed a Yeah,
I bet a lot of people know the magic Flute.
Didn't you get taken to that as a kid. Wasn't
that like a big treat in school? As You're like,
we're gonna go see Mozart Magic Flute that's like one
that a lot of kids are exposed to. It's not

(01:05:37):
like they're taking kids to see Madam Butterfly or the
Barber of Seville.

Speaker 4 (01:05:41):
You're like, oh, the magic flute. You see that as
a kid.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Isn't that? Isn't that most people's possibly only exposure.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
I've never seen opera.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
You never saw the magic flute even as a kid. Nope, huh,
I mean I played the magic flute, but you never
saw Madam Butterfly or any of those. No, wasn't uh
babo m none of those. No, No, you're Italian. Yeah,
so many of Verity, So many of these are Puccini.

Speaker 9 (01:06:08):
Ay Rob Well, but my grandfather would listen to We
had opera tapes and stuff, but we didn't know what
they were.

Speaker 24 (01:06:14):
Like.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
I wasn't, Oh, this is great, this is Pavaratti doing
an opera. I don't care, Grandpa. Could you put Tosca
on for me again? Please?

Speaker 10 (01:06:23):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
Thank you?

Speaker 9 (01:06:24):
You know how I love Pouccini. I mean I listen
to this day. I listened to Pavaratti and I could cry.
There's like one of the most beautiful voices of all time.
Nessun Dorma is one of my favorite songs. Wow, I'm see,
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
It's not that I'm uncultured, it's just that, No, I
don't know anything about operas. I know those particular songs
I understand, but that's about it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
Of course.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
I uh, my opera begins and ends with one Enrico Palazzo, Rob,
so I don't really know much beyond now.

Speaker 24 (01:07:13):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Yeah, that's all I need. All I need I know,
want to make it feel better. Brian yep, Jess. Brian
is this guy who calls all the time and has
his way with songs, and sometimes we'll ask people if
they know the song. Other times there's a couple of

(01:07:34):
selections I'm gonna play for you during the course of
the show today where he really has his way with
the music. Now, this is a real deep dive, and
that's what's so fascinating to me. Whether people Brian has
as many haters as lovers here on the show.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
He's you think you and I are devisive Rob.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
But his knowledge somewhere in his brain is stored this
in yclopedic where he can recall these songs. I want
you to tell me if you know this song.

Speaker 25 (01:08:05):
Big Fish, little Face, swim me in the water, go
ahead and let go my daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
All right, now he slaughter right, But it's PJ. Harvey,
remember that song. It was sold down by the water.
But that's like the last minute of the song. She
just whispers those lyrics over and over again. So it's
a thirty year old song. If she ever had a
quote unquote hit, that probably would come as close as

(01:08:33):
she ever got to it. Remember PJ. Harvey. Oh, Holly
Geen Harvey, we played this on the nineties weekends here
on the Buzzer. We do really sure. Oh that's amazing. Yeah,
she kind of had a she was an acquired taste.
But anyway, the last minute of the song is her
whispering the same lyrics over and over again, over and

(01:09:12):
over and over. And that's what Brian pulled out of
his brain.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
Come back here, man, give me my daughter.

Speaker 25 (01:09:17):
What did he say, big fish, little fish, slip me
in the water, go ahead and go.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
My daughter, go ahead and let go of my daughter.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
And he reversed the size of the fish. That's what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
He has his way. He I'll say it. He molests
this music, rob he does he just this music gives
no consent to be uh, to be molested in the
way that Brian molests these songs. So anyway, Yeah, PJ.

(01:09:58):
Harvey down by the Water. I gotta pay closer attention
to these nineties weekends. Yeah, is that what we're doing
after Thanksgiving? I know we got a weekend coming. Oh
it's a double shot double second helping. Is that what
it is? A second helping?

Speaker 24 (01:10:09):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
I want to I want to brand it properly.

Speaker 9 (01:10:12):
You see, because I'm Thanksgiving sometimes you have seconds ah,
and seeing as though it's two songs from the same artist, second.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Helping, double shots and deep tracks all weekend, we're doing
a back shots. Can we do a backshots? We call
it a backshots weekend. It's just like a rewind thing,
you know. It's like perfect weak cub perfect done. Yep, Ladies,
look over your shoulder and see the rock.

Speaker 9 (01:10:37):
Every sweeper will have the the intro to the Pornhub video.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
There you go. I don't I'm gonna pretend like I
don't know what that is, but h I have no
idea ro ah. And then we play Alice's Restaurant on
Thanksgiving Day. Yeah, yeah, at noon, so we don't need
a I don't need a sum up show for Thanksgiving Day?

Speaker 9 (01:10:56):
Then nope, okay, nope, all right, nope, nothing for Thanksgiving.
Everybody's off that day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Now, will our Thanksgiving programming be guaranteed human? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:11:06):
Yes it is, dude, I have a list.

Speaker 9 (01:11:09):
I gotta I gotta read this to you, because I
don't know how much I can make fun of this,
like on the air without getting in trouble.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Like most things.

Speaker 9 (01:11:15):
I can make fun of it, I know, but I
feel like this is such a pet project for some
of these dopes.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
They're gonna get all but hurt of make and I
get what they're doing.

Speaker 9 (01:11:24):
Oh dude, this is just like the things that are
being written that they would actually want to be on
the radio. I can't I can't even wrap my head
around or process the nonsense that they're like, Oh, these
are approved, but by who? And who's going to run them?
Go ahead, you put them on your stations.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
Well, listen.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
In an effort to constantly remind people that we are
not not not not not robots, rob ah, they are
letting everybody know that we are programmed humans, not even
program We're just that we're human beings talking that we're

(01:12:07):
not ai which is the first thing AI would say
if it wanted to pull the wool over your eyes.
Judging by the number of people after I told the
story about putting my dog to sleep on Friday, judging
from the number of people who texted me, thank you
for reminding us that you're a human, the company may
want to play a little fast and loose with respect
to where, with respect to me with the whole human thing.

Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
Yeah, perception is reality after all.

Speaker 9 (01:12:33):
Well, really, all it should say instead of guaranteed human
is human because we haven't figured out how to make
it sound better yet, because as soon as they.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Do, Jess, you have an animal runing around your house. No,
I know you got like a little little kid so
that it could be a little dicey. A mossball. A
moss ball is a mossball pet?

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
It had a cowboy hat, It floats in water? What
is the Oh? No, it's a mossball.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
Why I don't I don't know what it is. But
is it like it's just a ball of moss.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Yeah, it's like super tiny. I think it grows. Is
it something you made or something you can purchase? No,
I bought it at a plant shop. But oh you did.

Speaker 11 (01:13:13):
It had a cowboy hat on it. Yeah, I named
it Victor. I lost it in a breakup. But I
was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
You know, most people when they split up, they go
give me this. Apparently she lost her spatula in the
breakup to Rob. But wait, the ex demanded the moss ball.
I would think that would be somebody with something where
anybody would go. I don't care. No, he just kept
it kept I lost it.

Speaker 11 (01:13:36):
I love that little mossball and you just like to
take care of it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
You squeeze the water out of it. Why wouldn't you
grab the moss ball with a cowboy hat named Victor
and run. I didn't even think of it. Oh you did?

Speaker 13 (01:13:47):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
I squeeze the Yeah, I guess I'm not hipped to mossball.
I mean I I wouldn't go so Artsay, I have
a green thumb, but I'm not completely ignorant to the
ways of the the flora and fauna moss all right,
But so it was the cowboy hat that hooked you? Then?
Oh it really did.

Speaker 4 (01:14:04):
Yeah, sounds like a condition.

Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
Because it was so cute. I got moss balls, River
Scott's got bunions. And it turns out he's also got
moss balls. That's unfortunate. No cowboy hat.

Speaker 4 (01:14:14):
That just get one for the little cowboy hats. I
could dress it up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Also, couldn't you easily replace this dress? They're expensive? Oh
they are really Yeah. It was like fifty bucks. Fifty dollars. Yeah,
the cowboy hat was like ten extra dollars. Were you
getting ripped off at like a this is a plant shop?

Speaker 11 (01:14:30):
You said it was, and it was right on the
counter and I saw the cowboy hat on it, and I.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
Was like, oh, that's so cool. You get these packs
are like three dollars. Yeah, I could.

Speaker 4 (01:14:39):
Well, now we know what you get her. We'll go
buy her one. I'll bring it in more.

Speaker 11 (01:14:42):
Yeah, her back here would be so excited.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
Her show warming gift will be moss moss ball, then, Coleman.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
Are moss balls illegal in the US? Google asks some.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Are banned because they can carry invasive species like zebra muscles.
Oh my god, you can buy him at petco. I
guess out of a mossbawl. I guess. I don't know
a lot of these are in aquariums, aquaria. A lot
of these are in aquariums and uh, but yours was

(01:15:16):
on dry land.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
I have awful moss balls.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
Oh my mousse balls is killing me.

Speaker 4 (01:15:22):
All right, so no pep in a mossball, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
Take mental notes here, Yes, yeah, pets too much.

Speaker 11 (01:15:29):
Yeah, I hope you're setting a fish for like two years, right,
and I was like, and then I got a kid instead,
But right, you know, same thing, right, Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
I was gonna say, I'm sure you get that probably
non stop. That's how I got my job in the band.
Could you sound saying wrecking ball? No, I sang flowers.

Speaker 4 (01:16:44):
Or you guys the band in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Not speed Row. No, not speed Ro. Chicago was like
a cover band. You were like cutting a broad swath
of music. Is that what it was?

Speaker 11 (01:16:52):
Yeah, it was an interactive dance cover band. And then
we didn't We never played a show in Chicago. You're
all in the suburbs.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
Uh No, it was we tour one hundred and forty
shows a year. Oh really. Yeah. We'd go up to
North Dakota, down to Key West. Right. Oh yeah, wait,
so interactive. How explain this to me.

Speaker 11 (01:17:10):
I would run into the crowd, you know, dance on
the bars, you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
Know, getting people's faces. It was a fun time.

Speaker 4 (01:17:16):
So it was like, and how long were the sets?

Speaker 11 (01:17:19):
They could be sixty minutes, ninety minutes, just the puns.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
That was totally You weren't doing like two sixty minute sets.

Speaker 11 (01:17:24):
Well, sometimes we would do well, no, we would do
two sixties, three, three nineties.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Sometimes we'd go three hour street whoa full cardio?

Speaker 4 (01:17:34):
Then you're running around Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:17:35):
Yeah, rippingions what Wow. I was in the best shape
of my life. Then you had a kid, I did
Now look at me, now, look at me now?

Speaker 10 (01:17:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
No, but I mean but yeah, but yeah, all right,
Well anyway, I only Uh this Vince Garalde. You know,
it gets played a lot. Obviously it's a classic once
they start playing Christmas music over there at Magic And
So I was hitting on my food earlier, Rob and
this is on in the kitchen, and I'm like, is
this a good song? Or do we attach so much

(01:18:06):
nostalgia to it because we picture Snoopy dancing around in
our heads?

Speaker 4 (01:18:11):
Is that why we love it? Or is it a
good song?

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
If it were devoid of the attachment to peanuts, would
we still like it?

Speaker 9 (01:18:18):
You wouldn't know it, you say, no, attached to peanuts,
it would never have made There's nothing about this that
makes it a Christmas song.

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
Nothing. I hate when this comes on because it's not
a Christmas song. Oh so I've just enraged you. You
even enraged me.

Speaker 9 (01:18:30):
I just it's I mean, you know me, but but
it's it's, uh, it's not a Christmas song.

Speaker 4 (01:18:35):
Because I think about this, that's Christmas?

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Then it must be Snoopy because when I hear it,
I get all warm and fuzzy because I'm clearly I
associate it with watching you know, Peanuts when I was
a kid, Charlie Brown, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:18:46):
What's called Linus and Lucy. There's another one from their
Christmas special that I remember, the Barriers one kids are singing.
There's a bunch of them.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
I don't care for the one where the kids are singing,
where they're like Christmas time.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
Just when kids earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Oh yeah, I just.

Speaker 11 (01:19:03):
Oh my goodness, choirs of children, it's her favorite.

Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
I'm like, what are you gonna do when your kid
grows up in singing?

Speaker 12 (01:19:09):
Sick? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
Oh, you hate kids singing?

Speaker 11 (01:19:12):
You know, we'll pass that when it gets to it.
I go, I can't stand children singing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
Yeah, because you're gonna have to go. I mean, I'm
gonna assuming everything goes. Yeah, seriously, as soon as everything goes,
you know, according to plan, you're gonna be going to
like Christmas programs and things like that, you know, with
your kid.

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
I got my daughter's coming up in a couple of weeks.
How did I do, Mom? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
I wasn't there. It sucks. I hate listening to your
kids sing. I was like, yeah, I was out in
the hallway the whole time. My bad. You did great, sweetie? Sorry,
where are the kids singing? Here we go? Christmas head.

Speaker 4 (01:19:47):
I'm just leaving her camera on. Just so bad. Watch
the cringe.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
I know, now, why do you hate kids singing? That's
this is where kids, This is where kids develop their voice. Yeah,
do you feel like I don't care? Well, that's different though,
I kids Bob I can well, no, I don't mean that.
I mean kids Bop. Those are those are songs that

(01:20:14):
kids are How do we describe it? Kids bop is
terrible because these are established songs by adults, which I
guess these other songs are too. I'm not explaining it
very well. They're super super cringey because it's nobody needs them.
Nobody needs kids singing wop or whatever because they're doing

(01:20:35):
They're doing the biggest whap, They're doing the biggest songs
of the day. Right, much difference, but like if kids
are doing like holiday standards or something, I don't know.
I guess it's a distinction without a difference. But I
can fully see despising kids Bop, which I think even parents.
Parents arguably hate that stuff more. There's no parent who's like,

(01:20:57):
I can't wait to play kids Bop? No, Aaron does that.

Speaker 9 (01:21:00):
Snoopy versus the Red Baron is the one I was
thinking of wasn't that from a Christmas movie?

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
I don't know? Or was that not from the Christmas
it is? It was on the in the Christmas movie
Snoopy Versus the Red Baron. That's the one that I
think of from the movie. Other than that trying to
be like a pilot, pilot fly on the top of
his doghouse.

Speaker 11 (01:21:20):
That's the Christmas one.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
That's not the one. That's it it is. I've never
heard that in my life.

Speaker 4 (01:21:36):
Are you seriously?

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
I've never heard that song in my life. There's no way, never,
not once, have I ever heard Snoopy Versus the Red
Baron by the Christmas Spectaculars.

Speaker 9 (01:21:46):
Maybe that's not the right version, but it says here,
uh did Vince Garaldi version? No No Snoopy Versus the
Red Baron down behind Enemy Lines nineteen sixty six. You
know that song, Christmas bells, Oh, Christmas bells, get to

(01:22:07):
the hook.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
This is a Christmas song.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
Hits lash Chris.

Speaker 4 (01:22:21):
I've never heard this in my life.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Let it go.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
It's gonna get to the path.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
That's Christmas.

Speaker 12 (01:22:37):
Damn.

Speaker 18 (01:22:37):
Where's the bell?

Speaker 4 (01:22:38):
There's a Christmas thing coming up?

Speaker 2 (01:22:40):
Is this great yet? Is it?

Speaker 9 (01:22:43):
I don't know Christmas bells do Chrida.

Speaker 4 (01:22:48):
Man, I've never heard that before. Good well too, man,
you don't know that song.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
Uh, Jess already hates kids singing She's gonna learn to
hate adults can hate me here. It is never heard
that in my life, seriously, never once. Then you've never
seen that special I have, It's in the movie. I

(01:23:19):
don't remember it, don't remember it. I remember all the
vincecar all these stuff. You hated it so much you
blanked it out. Maybe maybe I don't remember that at all.
Never heard that song. And well, okay, let me amend that.
I guess I have heard that song, but in no
way does it good well too, mad hm Alan you guys,

(01:23:41):
you got to write a song about Jess's moss Ball
jez Oh, maybe somebody already did. I think they might
have sent me a link. I thought they were suggesting
that I do that, but they might have.

Speaker 4 (01:23:51):
Or wait a minute, can we even play that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Anymore because there's no guarantee human human Yes, but if
I let people know, I'm not pulling any shnana on him. Okay,
somebody already wrote Jess and the moss Ball Cowboy hat
for us.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
Just had mouse ball, cowboy hat.

Speaker 2 (01:24:18):
Gosh it said on the shoe where memory, saying.

Speaker 17 (01:24:25):
He gave it to her to duet back in June
Dolly parton under the Star in a Tennessee s Guy,
she spin it around.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
I have to imagine that this is pulled right from
your life experience.

Speaker 4 (01:24:47):
This is exactly how it went. Yeah, uh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Where's the hat?

Speaker 6 (01:24:55):
Where's the got?

Speaker 4 (01:25:17):
That one is from Mike in Parma. Thank you pal.

Speaker 9 (01:25:20):
I'm being told that I'm high. That song is not
in the movie. It's just an old British song. I
feel way better if that's the case.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
I've heard that song.

Speaker 9 (01:25:30):
That's really the one that I identify with Peanuts and Christmas,
other than that stupid piano one.

Speaker 4 (01:25:38):
Gotcha, Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 9 (01:25:40):
I was positive that was from the movie because I
could see him flying his donghouse.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
I mean I remember that in kind of the caverns
of my mind in the recesses. But I don't remember
that song at all. No. I think they just do
like a It's like just sounds like, yeah, I remember,
but I don't think A fighter pilot. Yeah, yeah, Davy
A fan of that song?

Speaker 3 (01:26:05):
You bi him?

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:26:09):
WHOA?

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
I like the cut of this lady's jib over on
Fox News and people are taking her to task, but
she goes, hey, adults don't need Christmas presents.

Speaker 4 (01:26:22):
Love that. I could not be down with this more.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
I've been singing this song for twenty years and some
people are receptive to that song are think, well, aren't.

Speaker 10 (01:26:34):
You need a plan?

Speaker 15 (01:26:36):
Also, remember adults don't need gifts. Okay, focus on the
people in your life who are aged three to eighteen.
Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you,
don't get them a gift. Now's not the time to
spend and break the bank sending packages across the country, Dana,
Focus on the people in your life ages three to eighteen.

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
I would go even further. That is a woman named
Jade Warshaw, who is the cost of the Dave Ramsey Show,
who's like this big orderline scammer. Yeah, but a very
very popular financial show. If you trust in the Lord,
you'll have eighteen houses like me one of those guys.

(01:27:14):
AnyWho three to eighteen, I'd narrow it even further. Eighteen,
of course is a legal adult. But you know, I
think most people if you're talking about gift giving, I'd
narrow it even further. She says gifts only for people
three to eighteen. I'd say gifts for people like three
to nine. My kid will turn ten in February. Rob,

(01:27:36):
I've already informed her, this is the last Christmas you'll
get presents from me. I didn't say that, but I've
workshopped it in my head, and I don't think it
goes not gonna work well, don't think it would go well. No,
but I've been singing the adults don't need present because
people drive themselves crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:27:58):
It's a lose lose situation.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
You spend money that you may or may not have,
but even if it doesn't make a dent, it's it's
money you don't have for a gift. People can buy
things for themselves. It's never been truer than now, when
you can go on your phone. If you have a
fleeting thought in your brain of something you might need
or want, you can go to your phone and you
can order it in ten seconds. And people are running around.

(01:28:25):
I don't know why. I'm still shocked. If I find
myself at a mall at Christmas drive, I'm like, why
are there so many people out?

Speaker 4 (01:28:34):
Every year?

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
I have to go out once or twice looking for
something that I need to find a physical item, right,
So I'll be at Crocker Park, or I'll be at Strongsville.
I go, oh, my god, why are this many people
still out I go to the mall. I love it,
shopping in person every day. Okay, there's a case to

(01:28:57):
be made for that too. I'm just surprised there's so
much many people still doing that.

Speaker 9 (01:29:01):
The greatest times in my life, for the holidays, my
best friend back home and I would get plastered in
the mall. Our wives would would drive us and we
would start and it was, you know, most fun drunk,
but it was fun. It was just as far as
shopping goes. And now to this day when I go,

(01:29:24):
I'm like, oh, I should go get drunk first. And
he's walking around and you're like, that looks nice, but
you're making my point for me.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
That's what That's what anexecrable experience it is to go
out there is you got to get fit, chased to
do it. But I still do it to this day.
I still go to the mall. I would I this
is like an afternoon thing. Is it a day drink?
Is it a no?

Speaker 4 (01:29:43):
I just I don't.

Speaker 9 (01:29:44):
I don't get plastered anymore while I'm shopping. I just
go and get it all done at once, because it's
how it is. Like I got okay, I know I
have to get presents for this one, this one, this one,
this one, and this one.

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
I know what I want to get.

Speaker 9 (01:29:55):
This mall has all of those places in out done
two hours.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
I since they became adults, I give my my older
kids money. I just give them money. I'm like, it's
all anybody wants anyway. Why am I gonna What am

Mom's mom and dad are still alive. Okay, which one
of them is older? I don't even know how old

But are you very close with it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
I am? Okay, So it be a dark day when
either of them go correct. Oh yeah, okay, So you

Yeah. I want to be because when I'm cremated, I've
said for a long time that I want my cremanes
packed into a Roman candle rob or fireworks and shot
off a barge off of Lake Michigan.

Speaker 4 (01:31:40):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (01:31:41):
I like the idea, but I would be just as happy.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
Having my cremaines put into the like an old spaghetti
sauce jar that's relabeled bacon grease only and put under
the kitchen sink. Uh huh, I'd be just as happy
being in one of those.

Speaker 4 (01:31:57):
You can use this cat litter yeah, same dust.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
So do you buy gifts, Jess, for your grandparents?

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
For my uh?

Speaker 11 (01:32:07):
Well, one time I got my grandfather a mug. I
don't mean when you were little, do you now?

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:32:14):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
Okay, right, that's what I'm saying, because but you have
kind of I have to a.

Speaker 11 (01:32:19):
Bad gift giver. So am I a buying gifts?

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
That's why I think any opportunity for me to not
have to buy gifts because I have swung and missed
so many times. I'm so gun shy and some people
are just amazing gift givers me and it is once
in a while I'll nail it, but it is so
few and far between.

Speaker 4 (01:32:40):
Oh I am so good, dude, I wish so so good.
Such a superpower.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
That's right, Jess, thank you?

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
I am uh No, I'm you know what it is.
I'm jarringly considerate.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
I think about something, I obsess about something for a
month before I buy it, and then I know what
I want to do.

Speaker 4 (01:32:58):
Like my anniversary just went by. See I need to
hear someone.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
The slam dunk is when you hear someone mention something
in passing yep, and you lock it in your brain,
you get it, and then they go, oh my god,
that's the slam dunk. It's just that, you know, around me,
rob people tend to clam up, so listen, they're not
maybe expressing themselves as much. That's the best you can

(01:33:23):
offer for is somebody mentioned something in passing.

Speaker 9 (01:33:25):
It comes up more often than not, Like if you
just have a conversation with somebody, they're going to say
something that, oh I red walked into the store and
saw this, or I was reading this, or you see
a TV commercial and you're like, oh, that looks awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
You know, your grandfather wants one of those. I think
they're called flashlights. They come in a variety of colors.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
He melted the last one.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
He said that he's partial. I need to check my
I wrote it down here on a piece of paper.
He's partial to Brandy Love's holes.

Speaker 4 (01:33:58):
I tell him not to put it in the goddamn.

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
We don't know what that means, but he could you
point me Aisle thirty two A and Walmart. Now, Grandma.
Oddly enough, if you get a Walmart or Target, You're
not gonna get anything as sophisticated as the Brandy Love mold.

Speaker 4 (01:34:15):
I wouldn't imagine.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
But uh, you know your grandfather wants something called moss balls.
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 4 (01:34:22):
That's not what you think they are.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
It's not No. He's walking around, he has his pants off,
and there's little cowboy hats on either one of them.

Speaker 4 (01:34:32):
That's why I wanted the hat.

Speaker 14 (01:34:33):
The Ellen Cox Show on one.

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
Alan Cox drama.

Speaker 2 (01:34:43):
But even the real musician, he just makes a noise.
If he played the violin or the piano, any of
it made sense.

Speaker 26 (01:34:48):
But the drums two one, six, five, seven eight one
double O seven to join us live or eight hundred and.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
Three four eight when double oh seven you'll talk to

we're chatting with Uh, would you, Jess, do you have
a twin sister? I do I have two? Said to
twins in my family.

She texted, Oh my god, she said the moss ball
lived with her for two weeks. Yeah, I forgot about
it and I left it with her for a couple
of weeks. Wait, so you didn't lose it in the breakup.

Speaker 11 (01:35:43):
No, it's I mean, I don't know if he has
it anymore, but it ends when we were together.

Speaker 12 (01:35:48):
Wait.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Wait, what's the timeline here? Wait? Bought it? Yeah, you
bought it, and then I had it. I was going
to take it back to Chicago with me, But this
is a moss ball with a cub. Oh I thought
you had it. You bought it in Chicago. You bought
it here and took it to Chicago. I, well, it
never made it to Chicago. I see you went he
was here, kept the.

Speaker 11 (01:36:06):
Moss ball then I yeah, I left it with my
sister and then it made it to my ex boyfriend's house.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
Yeah that's where it ended. Wait wait, wait, how did
something your sister had make it to your ex's house
because she was watching it for me? Do you have
to wait? What am I? What am I missing? So
you leave something with your sister?

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:36:34):
How did it get to your ex's house?

Speaker 11 (01:36:35):
I think I took it there because then I was
going to take it to Chicago, I followed, Now, okay
you I was thinking you were already gone.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
And the moss ball was, you have two sets of
twins in your family, like in your immediate nuclear family,
you and your sister and who else? My little sisters
Joe and Lex. Wait, there are four Your mom and
dad had four daughters. Yeah, two sets of twins.

Speaker 16 (01:36:58):

Speaker 11 (01:36:58):
And they told my parents if they'd have more kids
would be twins, twins, if not triplets, guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
Did we know this, Robin?

Speaker 4 (01:37:03):
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
Wow, So everybody, all of your siblings have a have
a twin, Yeah, have a buddy, mm hmm.

And then my twin, she Sam, is like five to eight.
I'm five to one. She has like dark hair. We
look like sisters, but not twins.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Yeah, but which ones? Even with twins? Are you the
better looking one? I don't know? Yeah you do? Are
you the better looking one? I don't know? Yeah you do.
She's not gonna say it.

Speaker 4 (01:37:29):

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
She'll tell you she's text Jess. You know I'm totally
the hotter. Oh yeah, is that her? Yeah? All right?

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
Which one of you came out first?

Speaker 5 (01:37:44):
Me?

Speaker 2 (01:37:44):
You did.

Speaker 4 (01:37:45):
Yeah, so you're like thirty seconds older.

Speaker 2 (01:37:47):
Yeah, I gotcha. I had to make it out there fast, okay. Alan.
Of all the things that I would think Rob would hate,
it would be mall shopping. Boy, you and me both
I would but he said he was drunk, and well
not always it's it, but again, dude, I'm in control.
It's in and out. I go, I get what I
gotta get, and I'm done this. You going solo? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(01:38:11):
yeah yeah yeah. Well wouldn't my friend and I would go.
We'd get drunk. I just almost wore. We'd get drunk,
and then we would go shopping, and there was.

Speaker 9 (01:38:19):
Multi levels to the mall back home, and we would
we would start at one end that had a restaurant,
the Holy Oak Mall, Holy Oak, Massachusetts, and we would
go there and on the top floor would be there
was a pizzeria Uno, and we would start there and
get plastered, and then we would make our way to
the other end of the mall where there was a

(01:38:41):
TGI Fridays, and then we would sit down there and
continue to get plastered, and then we would finish our
shopping and I would always buy weird, random items because
by the end of the night everything was funny.

Speaker 2 (01:38:53):
So I would fill stockings with nonsense. It was just
it was Yeah, I would think that would lead to
you ending up with a bunch of stuff. You're like,
why did I get this?

Speaker 9 (01:39:02):
Yes, but I but I never wasn't good okay giving gifts.

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
Yeah, even to this day. I even not drinking nothing.
I'll go to the mall. I have a plan, I
get everything I gotta get, and I'm out. But it's
all thought out. I think about everything in advance. It's
for you. I try to, but I'm like, because I
never want anything. I don't ever want anything if somebody
was texing me. My wife and I don't exchange gifts, right,

(01:39:27):
we don't. My wife and I don't either. We're like
because first of all, her birthday is like right before Christmas,
but also like, I just don't. It's I make it
too hard for other people and who are trying to
be nice. What's something you want? I don't nothing. I'm fine,
Oh so you don't give any Like, well, no, you know,
I mean it used to be like when I was

(01:39:49):
playing the drums more frequently, I'd be like, well, there's this,
you know, this symbol, but those are expensive. I'm not
going to tell somebody, hey, could you buy me this
three hundred and fifty dollars symbol? Like it's not you know, I.

Speaker 4 (01:39:59):
Mean, that's something you're you could do that with your wife,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
But everybody loves to throw the harmonica story in my face,
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:40:07):
But you were trying to do like that was when
you were trying to do something nice.

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
I know.

Speaker 9 (01:40:10):
But it's not like you just did like this random
thing and you're like, hey, yeah, I betu you'd love
to play a harmonica, Like that's not why you did it.

Speaker 4 (01:40:18):
I know. So it made sense. I don't even I
don't even think that's a bad gift.

Speaker 2 (01:40:22):
Well but if you don't want to play it, then
you know, well no, but but you're reasoning for purchasing
it made sense. The thought was understood. I just misunderstood, Allen.
I don't have any Christmas shopping to do it. It's awesome.
I've been single for ten years. I don't have kids.
My parents and I just do dinner and I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:40:43):
That's why I love Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:40:45):
Yeah, anybody without kids, they're like, you know, living on
a cloud nine Thanksgiving is the best.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
Of the holidays. You got no pressure.

Speaker 9 (01:40:51):
It's just y'all get together, have a nice meal, you
sit down, you watch a little football, and go no nights.
It's the greatest of the holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
And by the way, in a country that has manufactured holidays,
right right here in Cleveland, Ohio, sweetest Day. Right, you
have Cleveland to blame for Sweetest Day. And I know
it's still largely regional, but it's rippling out, boy, year
by year, all these manufactured holidays. You know, if Thanksgiving
wasn't about food, somebody would have manufactured a reason to

(01:41:21):
give Thanksgiving gifts. Oh, I'm sure they're like, well, people
are already spending a ton of money on food. So
but if there was no if there was no culinary
component to Thanksgiving, somebody would have come up with Thanksgiving gifts.
There are probably psychos out there who give gifts at Thanksgiving.

(01:41:41):
Who is this? Hello?

Speaker 4 (01:41:44):
Hey, am I getting all that?

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
Rah? My god?

Speaker 14 (01:41:48):
Dad?

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Oh thank god, Dick, You're never you rah Oh God?

Speaker 4 (01:41:54):
Hello, can't get my head around this.

Speaker 14 (01:41:56):
Oh.

Speaker 18 (01:41:56):
I just talked to your new producer.

Speaker 4 (01:41:59):
You talk to Jazz.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Did she tell you that a lot of people wondered
if you were dead, Dick.

Speaker 18 (01:42:04):
No, why would be dead because we.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
Got well, sooner or later we all will be. But
somebody said that they last week. They're like, have you
guys heard from Dick, And I said, well, we heard
from a little while ago, but we hadn't. And they
said that they were on some local radio message board
on the internet and somebody had said that from Dayton
had died. And they were like, but I don't know

(01:42:27):
if they're screwing around or not. And I'm like, well,
I don't either, because when Dick goes, we're not going
to know. You understand, Yeah, hey.

Speaker 18 (01:42:36):
What it is is maybe, uh, you know, I don't
want to I like to call you guys a lot.
I always give everybody a break, so they couldn't have.
But they're you know, you know, I'm not the only
one that he's got fan base. But no, I'm I
just moved. It's probably because I've moved. I moved here
in July, right, and uh, you know, I keep up

(01:42:57):
with everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:42:58):
Then listen, i'mad, we're happy to hear from you, Dick.
All I'm saying is, you know, because I've had listeners
pass away over my long tenure. In broadcasting. And all
I'm saying is I have no way of knowing, because
it's not like somebody else is gonna call me and
let me know. You see what I'm saying. Yeah, it's
a Thanksgiving miracle.

Speaker 18 (01:43:15):
How about the Browns man, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:43:20):
Dick, you finally you know, Dick, you finally have a
reason to be genuinely excited about the Browns.

Speaker 18 (01:43:28):
Oh yeah, it to Miles Carrott has to be and
the defense. But the big one is this week, I'm
taking Ohio State to win by five.

Speaker 2 (01:43:40):
All right, the Ohio Michigan game. Right, this is when
all the dopes in Ohio start crossing. M's out of everything. Yeah,
that's funny.

Speaker 18 (01:43:47):
That Cavaliers are going to go to the playoffs with
what they got, you know what it means they're going
to go. But uh, I got Christmas parties coming up
in the Dulcember group three and three in December, yep,
and it's gonna be nice. So I'm getting around a
little bit and I've been chopping over it, good will.
I've been picking up some Browns and they got Cavaliers, Cavaliers,

(01:44:11):
Ohio State and brown the Dartigan thought. I picked up
some stuff. One of my friends went took me and
I got about twenty dollars worse. I've been I wearing
my shirt all week. That maybe helped them win. Do
you think so?

Speaker 4 (01:44:25):
I think so. I think that's absolutely what did you?

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
I hope?

Speaker 5 (01:44:29):
So?

Speaker 18 (01:44:29):
Yeah, Well, worse and happy thanksgivin. I'll keep in touch.

Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
Happy Thanksgiving, Dick.

Speaker 4 (01:44:35):
Hey you too, Dick.

Speaker 2 (01:44:36):
Thanks?

Speaker 17 (01:44:36):
Ali.

Speaker 2 (01:44:37):
All right, you're not dead?

Speaker 18 (01:44:39):
Have You're not?

Speaker 2 (01:44:40):
Day Yeah? I don't know, man, I was convinced. I
figured it was fifty to fifty and I'm posting it
right now. Here's the problem. I really should have spelled
it out for him. Hey, we're not gonna know if
you go, so let somebody else know and have them
call this. But I was like, Eh, can you gotta
give him homework?

Speaker 4 (01:44:59):
Can you put in your wishes, Dick?

Speaker 9 (01:45:01):
Please that it's someone's job that when you meet your
demise that they have to call into the show and
let us know.

Speaker 14 (01:45:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:45:08):
I just wrote, Dick from Dayton is on the show.
He isn't dead. It's a Thanksgiving miracle. Yeah, so happy.
I was actually thinking about that quite a bit. I'm
not gonna lie to.

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
You about Dick being dead.

Speaker 4 (01:45:18):
Yeah, I didn't want it to be.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
I was just thinking of it because you had already
gone to the mall and painstakingly purchased for him a
Christmas gift.

Speaker 9 (01:45:25):
That's right, And I had already started thinking about the
things I would say to you, like, remember how you
blew him off when you were five minutes from where
he is and you couldn't be bothered to go hang
out with him while he was alive.

Speaker 4 (01:45:36):
Well, how do you feel now, Alan.

Speaker 2 (01:45:38):
How do you feel now that Dick's all stiff? I
pick it up with your laying down, Rob, I understand,
but I can't.

Speaker 4 (01:45:48):
I don't know what you.

Speaker 2 (01:45:49):
Want from me.

Speaker 4 (01:45:50):
I'm just teasing.

Speaker 2 (01:45:50):
I know, I know all on you have to buy
a gift for your future black stuff. Oh god, I
don't thank you for asking. Thank you for asking. Your
sister said that you did check up on the moss
ball when you were in Chicago. Yeah, she sent me

(01:46:12):
one singular picture. Hey is the moss balls? What do
you feed a moss ball? How do you keep it
from dying?

Speaker 8 (01:46:19):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (01:46:20):
You have to like take it out of the water
and squeeze all the water out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
So it stays. It stays submerged, it stays in water. Yeah,
just got you around. Okay, did you squeeze all the
water out of it?

Speaker 4 (01:46:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:46:30):
And put it back so it Wait? Is that cowboy
hat on it when it's underwater? Yeah? Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:46:35):
Does it sink or does it float?

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
It floats around?

Speaker 9 (01:46:37):
It floats, Okay, but it's sink. Does it's sink when
it gets full? Is that why you have to squeeze it?

Speaker 2 (01:46:43):
I don't think so. But the hat would make it
like list to one way or the other, right, Like
it wouldn't stay upright, you know what I figured out
that we're thinking about it.

Speaker 11 (01:46:50):
I don't even know how it worked because it literally
just floated around.

Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
Yeah, it's a rob It sounds like a Marvel.

Speaker 9 (01:47:00):
Buoyant moss Balls next week on two hours to midnight.

Speaker 2 (01:47:05):
I'll tell you what. We had a good show. We're
off this coming week. We had a great show. Last week.
We didn't play any Buoyant moss Balls, but Hope Springs Eternal.

Speaker 1 (01:47:24):
Well, I'm actually I got.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
Chef, thank you, But now a little.

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
Well Christmas shop and stuff that you know kind of
goes along with what Rob does.

Speaker 4 (01:47:36):
You know, me and my buddies.

Speaker 1 (01:47:38):
Used to always go out and just get.

Speaker 21 (01:47:41):
Wasted in the shop. So fun, right, Oh, it's a
blast year. We get beat dubs and this and that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:49):
Me and my buddies went out one.

Speaker 21 (01:47:50):
Year and we're doing Jaeger and uh Chris Christmas ales
and anybody who's ever drunk Christmas sales from Great Lakes
knows what they do to you.

Speaker 1 (01:48:05):
I went out, I got I got a huge paycheck,
and I'm like, I'm like, let's go shopping, and uh,
I spent like a thousand dollars like every story. Go
to my buddy's like, are you sure, Joel?

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
I'm like, yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (01:48:21):
I'm good.

Speaker 18 (01:48:22):
I got this.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
Like the moral of the story Rob is, don't leave Joel
alone drunk and with his paycheck.

Speaker 1 (01:48:30):
Correct right, correct?

Speaker 5 (01:48:32):
Right?

Speaker 19 (01:48:32):
I was my friend.

Speaker 1 (01:48:34):
My best friend who was with me would have said
the same thing, but he didn't. But so I wake
up the next morning and uh, I get up out
of bed and I'm looking on sell these bags from
the mall around my bed and I'm like, oh my god,
what did I do? I'm like, you know, I bought

(01:48:55):
my brother in law like a three hundred dollars official
NFL jersey. I'm like, I love my brother in law.

Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
But not that much.

Speaker 4 (01:49:02):
Did you just go return everything?

Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (01:49:05):
I did.

Speaker 16 (01:49:07):
Most of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
But then.

Speaker 1 (01:49:12):
That was just one of the times. So another time,
I'll tell you real quick, I'll try, I'll try and
short it for you. But I had recently gotten a duy,
my first one ever, and it was stupid. I was
an ass at whatever it happens. So I go out
shop and so we go out get wasted once again.
We end up at this bar, and once again, I

(01:49:35):
got a whole truckload of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:49:39):
And so I leave this bar.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
I'm going down the road and I make it about
five miles away and I see the red and blue
behind me. I'm like, oh my god. Like my girlfriend
at the time, who's not my wife, she's awesome, God
bless her.

Speaker 3 (01:49:57):
I'm like, she's gonna kill me.

Speaker 2 (01:50:01):
Jill, you're cutting out, man, I'm sorry, we're cutting out there.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
Thank you so much for the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:50:05):
I appreciate it. Jesus, Rie, did he say I got
a dui? It happens? Is that what he said? He said?
It was stupid. It happens. Yeah, he's like a little
uh little what me worried off? Oh okay, yeah, thank
you man.

Speaker 4 (01:50:21):
And there was this other time.

Speaker 2 (01:50:23):
Yeah, well listen, it happens. Sometimes you get played off
from it happens. Yeah, okay, Ah. Do you think when
Dick passes he will send a thimble of his remains
to every show he calls into.

Speaker 4 (01:50:39):
How would he do that? He'll be dead.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
Ye, Dick has no designs on his own ashes or
his own passing, I guarantee. But I think it's safe
to say Rob and no shade. That is the most
excited we'll ever be to hear from Dick from Dayton
right there. So savor to flavored Dick. So it might
not happen again, he said the flavor. I mean, listen,

(01:51:05):
you know, Paul's talking about Jaeger or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:51:08):
Intense.

Speaker 2 (01:51:08):
Randy and I tried to do a couple of gold
Schlager shots yesterday and they didn't have it. Oh yeah, plice,
it's too classy. We were out of the basement and
didn't anybody. Well that's what. There was another guy at
the bar who was like, Jesus Goldschlager.

Speaker 9 (01:51:21):
I feel like that's like a discontinued things that still exists.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
No, I it's been a long time since I've done that.
But he was like, what do you want to do?
And I said, well, it's a dealer's choice. It's up
to you, and I would have opted for Jamison or something,
and he said gold Schlager and I was like, all right.
But everybody within within shouting distance sounded surprised to hear
somebody order that, and I think rightly so, because they

(01:51:46):
didn't have it.

Speaker 9 (01:51:46):
Yeah, I have not even thought of it in years,
let alone seen it. I guess it looks like it's
still available. Well anyway, still terrible bullet ducked. Yeah, I
don't mind it again every drink instead.

Speaker 4 (01:51:58):
Uh, I think.

Speaker 9 (01:52:00):
Yeah, I saw you guys in it. Got the offer
from Randy and I'm like, dam I'm good. Thank you
don't need that right now?

Speaker 4 (01:52:08):
He's Randy's nice.

Speaker 2 (01:52:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:52:10):
I just didn't need to do shots at that particular moment.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Understood, Yes, so yeah, but we were rebuffed.

Speaker 4 (01:52:18):
Had a lot accounting to do Alan.

Speaker 2 (01:52:19):
Yeah, I know. Rob was our scorekeeper yesterday and I
was running the timer over there.

Speaker 4 (01:52:25):
It was all hands on deck.

Speaker 2 (01:52:28):
Yeah, thanks again to Amy and Jeff for all their help,
because yeah, would have been screwed without Jeff. And congrats
to the dude who won Aaron Brown out there in
Lyndhurst an Aron three hundred and eight points.

Speaker 4 (01:52:40):
Jesus, that's intense. Way to Vegas.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
D Rock is one of our bureau chiefs down in
El Paso, and he said, the drunk Christmas shopping stopped
for me when I walked into the women's room at
Walmart and there was a line of ladies waiting when
I came out. Oh ah, that doesn't seem to be
like a you know, a big deal, right.

Speaker 9 (01:53:02):
We would always do stuff to make each other laugh.
That was always like the whole the fun of it.
Like he would wear a hat. He had a hat
that said my Ball's itch on it, and people would
notice the hat.

Speaker 4 (01:53:12):
Wait, he already had that hat or he bought that hat.

Speaker 9 (01:53:14):
Yeah every year, Yeah, like Spencer Gifts or somebody sold it,
you know, and he would wear it in he'd go
into like the nice jewelry store in the mall and
he'd be like, Hi, could I take a look at
that for my wife please?

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
And he'd look down and they'd be like, oh my god.
His hat says my Ball's itch on it. He didn't
opt for the I hate hats.

Speaker 4 (01:53:32):
Yeah, no, no, no, my balls itch. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
Okay, Well d Rock coming into the ladi's room doesn't
sound like a Defcon one situation to me.

Speaker 4 (01:53:42):
But okay, that was Yeah. I was wondering what that meant.

Speaker 2 (01:53:44):
D Rock. No matter else, no matter what else happens.
You don't have a my Ball's itch hat yet?

Speaker 10 (01:53:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:53:55):
Yet? Well it should come as no shock.

Speaker 2 (01:54:00):
Our boy Ethan is very much on the gold Schlager train.

Speaker 4 (01:54:04):
He was out there too. He was Yeah, good to
see him.

Speaker 2 (01:54:08):
He brought me some beers, thanks, Ethan. Uh huh.

Speaker 9 (01:54:11):
I have not tried them yet, but he knows that
I'm a.

Speaker 4 (01:54:14):
Fan of porters and stouts, so he brought me some stouts.
So thank you, sir.

Speaker 2 (01:54:19):
You want more Brian before I go to a break?
So last time he did a real deep dive because
I think his brain just spits things out. This one
is amazing to me because he puts two songs together.
I'll tell you right from the jump. He's singing Megadeath,
but he strings together two songs and I don't think
he knows, so he takes part of one and part

(01:54:40):
of another. Now you'll know this as a rock guy.

Speaker 25 (01:54:45):
And my hair is kinny and feel a PARAOI feel
like the walls are closing it.

Speaker 17 (01:54:53):
This is it.

Speaker 25 (01:54:54):
This is a countdown to extinct.

Speaker 4 (01:54:58):
She are really hard, so yeah, so he so part
of it.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
He's singing a song called Sweating Bullets, and then the
other party singing a song called Countdown to Extinction.

Speaker 4 (01:55:08):
He's put the two of them together. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:55:10):
I like how he says my hair is getting thin.
The line of that song is my air is getting thin,
but he sings my hair is getting thin, which I like.
He just makes them his own. I mean, they're two
completely different tempo songs. Right countdown to adjinction. My hair

(01:55:31):
he said, my hair is I didn't catch that.

Speaker 25 (01:55:33):
My hair ISAI feel like the walls are closing it.

Speaker 20 (01:55:42):
This is it.

Speaker 25 (01:55:43):
This is a countdown to extinct.

Speaker 2 (01:55:46):
Yeah, two completely different tempo songs. So Sweating Bullets and
then right into countdown to like best. Now, in his defense,
you know, Dave Mustaine, as far as his vocal qualities go,
he only has one speed and it's Dave Mustaine. He
sounds the same no matter what he's singing. So maybe

(01:56:09):
that's what threw him off. But his he sings, my
hair is getting thin, and he puts those two songs together.
So it's an embarrassment of riches for Megadeth fans because
Brian has just created a you know, an audio portmanteau
there for.

Speaker 14 (01:56:23):
You, The Allen Cox Show on one seven call the
Allan Cox Show.

Speaker 5 (01:56:33):
My named Ellen Cox and my show sucks.

Speaker 19 (01:56:38):
Two one six seven eight one double O seven four
eighty one, double oh seven.

Speaker 2 (01:57:05):
Lenny Kravitz was in the news because he said.

Speaker 10 (01:57:07):
A woman.

Speaker 2 (01:57:10):
Tore a dreadlock out of his head at a concert.
That's all I saw. I don't know if that's it.
I guess that's what passes for entertainment news. He was
doing a show.

Speaker 9 (01:57:29):
Yeah, I always think that when you see dudes like
in the NFL wearing dreads, right, it.

Speaker 2 (01:57:36):
Just gives you something else to grab onto. I didn't
like think like that's the last thing you'd want. His
long hair. Yeah, but are we sure it was a dreadlock.
I mean it was long and dark and ribbed.

Speaker 4 (01:57:48):
Dude, I get you've seen that hammer.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
There's no way you're confusing saying like if you remember
when Lenny Kravitz split his pants and showed the brain
fired everything. You're a thud on the stage. At the
same time, it's like, whoops.

Speaker 4 (01:58:05):
I guess it's listen. He's got dreads to spare.

Speaker 9 (01:58:09):
It's okay, it's got more than just dreads to spare
by the look of that thing.

Speaker 2 (01:58:12):
Yeah, I got a song from Jay an Ai song.
We have the preface, this is a I. This is
not human. We are guaranteed here, we are guaranteed human.
But this song that he's put together is about how
you and I are secretly having an affair. Row okay, interesting,

(01:58:36):
how this is what's on Jay's mind. This is where
his brain went. Everybody else is, you know, neck deep
and enjoying festive glory whole huh. And Rob hats ducks
and Jess's moss balls just as moss balls already out
there in the ether.

Speaker 27 (01:58:56):
Merry Christmas, Allen Come, Merry Christmas, Allen Cox, One cold
dark Christasy.

Speaker 2 (01:59:07):
Allen Cox was on the air about to leave.

Speaker 7 (01:59:10):
Before he got off the mic, I was like, oh
my God, told him, hold up, I have an idea
for a song about what he asked about, how you
and Rob are in love with each other and your
wives left you for each other.

Speaker 2 (01:59:22):
He said, go on, and I said, okay.

Speaker 7 (01:59:25):
Helen Coxes Habit had a pair with roar Allan Coxes
habitead a pair.

Speaker 2 (01:59:32):
Wait, Rob, we're gonna do it on the air, by
the way, I mean, I would think. I mean, listen,
Rob and I have been doing this for a long
long time. The golden rule of broadcasting is you know
it's the old version of pics or it didn't happen. Yeah,
if it's not on the air, it didn't happen, right,
Who cares what happens off the air?

Speaker 17 (01:59:49):
Air Your wives found out your gay. They found out
on Christmas Day.

Speaker 7 (01:59:54):
They booked a flight tom Ontego Bay and they said,
screw you, we're going away.

Speaker 2 (01:59:59):
But don't be upset.

Speaker 7 (02:00:01):
Now that they're gone, you can be with Robe.

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
And I do like the vibe though, I do like
the tempo and the Yeah anyway, thank you, Jay, I
appreciate it. It's called a Cosmas story. Apparently it's about
how you and I. Rob secretly secretly.

Speaker 27 (02:00:19):
Said no way, and I said, ok ok oko.

Speaker 4 (02:00:25):
All right, thank you appreciate that. It's very nice.

Speaker 2 (02:00:29):
Poor Jess has been dipped into a den of iniquity
over here, Rob, I get big biblical for a second. Anyway. Oh,
speaking of Lenny Kravitz, thank you to Jeff, our buddy
Jeff out there in Hudson. He's still not yet back
home in Hudson, but he was the one I was
mailing out Alan Cox shows stickers to anybody who asks
for him, and I'm happy to do that. I mailed

(02:00:50):
about twenty more envelopes this morning to people who just
email me, and I'm happy to send him up. But
a lot of people go, hey, I'm leaving for they're
traveling and it would be fun to, you know, tag
the show, so like people were putting them in Memphis.
Jeff was visiting his i think his daughter in Australia
and he was posting sending photos of him tagging various

(02:01:11):
places in and around Australia, and I was putting them
at our Facebook page. But he just saw Lenny Kravitz
in Sydney, one of the many shows he went to.
He booked like a whole battery of shows while visiting.
Some family want to see Casey Musgraves, Sharon van Atten,
She's no joke, Tropical f storm, Croikey and the Church

(02:01:38):
or the church a good day mate under the Milky
Way tonight. So anyway, thanks Jeff for putting Alan Cochro
stickers all around Australia hoping that they do stay up.
I know that Sydney was a hard place to stick
them up. That town is a bit hoity and toity.
All right, well there you go. Thanks appreciate. Also, people

(02:02:01):
are sending me photos of like their old dogs, which
I take it in the spirit in which it was given.
I was talking at the top of the show about
how we had to put our dog asleep on Friday,
and people with similarly old dogs are sending me their
photos and I'm like, that's sweet and good luck. But
you know, Lynn goes, here's my fifteen year old, one eyed,
deaf Wiener dog in a diaper because untight, excuse me,

(02:02:26):
I don't know how long you hold on to that
little U nug under those conditions. But okay, today, by
the way, another anniversary in that it was sixty seven
years old, and this has particular relevance of this program
sixty seven years ago today was it sixty seven?

Speaker 4 (02:02:44):
Mike sent me this What is there?

Speaker 2 (02:02:45):
Up?

Speaker 4 (02:02:46):
Six seven.

Speaker 2 (02:02:48):
That Brenda Lee released Rocking Around the Christmas treet Okay classic.
It was, as we've established, one of the first songs
to use an explotive, not only for a holiday song.
You might recall Brenda Leaf. You know the history of
the song. She was a week last. She was a
teenager when she did this. I think fifteen years old
or something. Turn out to be a huge hit. She's
still alive. No way to know what fifteen plus sixty

(02:03:10):
seven is six seven, but that would be how old
she is. And for such a young girl to drop
an F word like that in a song.

Speaker 4 (02:03:23):
I mean, just so open about it, like it's just
like it's nothing.

Speaker 2 (02:03:26):
Well, well, rob, it was a different time. I mean,
just like here it is. I'm saying it. I don't
care what you think. Good for her, especially in a
time where young girls were expected to be more demure, Yeah,
or maybe a bit more reserved. Right, So we're having
some f and pie and that's it. Yeah, flash we're

(02:03:46):
gonna go do some carolling. Flash forward. You got singers
like Chess, who's running around, jumping on tables, squeezing moss balls.

Speaker 4 (02:03:56):
Branda Lee walked so she could run. He sure did.

Speaker 2 (02:04:03):
Yeah, Ellen, at least if you're having an affair with
Rob you'll get good gifts. See yep, that's a good point.
That's a plus. See oh, I mentioned this last week.
I just didn't have the audio yet. Our buddy Mike

(02:04:23):
Cousins works for ESPN down in Charlotte, and he worked.

Speaker 4 (02:04:28):
Monroe to.

Speaker 2 (02:04:31):
One of the he was doing play by play and
he worked to Monroe.

Speaker 4 (02:04:34):
In Monroe.

Speaker 2 (02:04:37):
College basketball game between Kansas and Duke. Kansas has a
player named Melvin Council who once attended Monroe College.

Speaker 28 (02:04:48):
First year, transferred from Saint Bonaventure, who's in his final
year of eligibility. He's another guy who's transferred around too.
Spent last year in early on New York three twenty
four at Wagner College and then his freshman had sophomore
years at Monroe College.

Speaker 2 (02:05:04):
Senior from Rochester, New York.

Speaker 4 (02:05:06):
You have ever watched the show on ABC Too Close
for Comfort?

Speaker 28 (02:05:11):
And he would come into the room and address his daughters.

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
And every guy live with him Monroe.

Speaker 28 (02:05:18):
Knight's voice, and the show went off the year thirty
eight years ago.

Speaker 4 (02:05:22):
That's what a contemporary reference.

Speaker 2 (02:05:24):
That's okay.

Speaker 28 (02:05:24):
I brought up to George Mikeen for goodness sake, you're
with your fair game Monroe twenty six, twenty.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
Four Monroe, O, thank you Mike the Great Mike Cousins
down there with the ESPN.

Speaker 9 (02:05:34):
Try is it Is it better that he explained it,
that he went into it to explain it, because I
think it's actually kind of funnier that he did, right.

Speaker 2 (02:05:41):
I think it's better if you explain it, because if
he's just going, like I do, explain it one hundred
years ago, right, people dipping in who don't know the
backstory just hear us going Monroe Monroe, and of course
it's stupid, but at least the context smooths it out
a little bit. So anyway, thank you, Mike Monroe. Speaking

(02:06:03):
of Monroe Monroe, Michigan, Monro. We have bureau chieves out there.
One of them said, did you hear the Campbell Soup
VP ripping on the customers? I didn't hear about this.
Channel four, which is the NBC affiliate in Detroit, has
been airing secret recordings. Apparently some guy who used to

(02:06:23):
work for Campbell Soup Company. I was thinking Campbell's was
here in Ohio, but I must be thinking of something else.
I know that they have a lot of different factories
and locations so maybe they do have a spot out
here in Ohio, but I think they're headquartered on the
East Coast. And a guy complained about this VP, and

(02:06:47):
he subsequently got fired. So he has filed a lawsuit
against the company, and he's armed with secret recordings of
a VP talking about only effing poor people eat their product.
Ooops and who wants this crap?

Speaker 4 (02:07:03):
Whoops?

Speaker 2 (02:07:04):
And Robert Garze is a former Campbell's employee who lives
in Monroe, Michigan, and.

Speaker 4 (02:07:12):
He said he was fired.

Speaker 2 (02:07:13):
He complained about this guy for obvious reasons, and he's
filing a lawsuit. Now, well, suit company employee is taking
legal action against the food giants, and he's making some
explosive allegations about one of its top executives.

Speaker 4 (02:07:28):
Good evening, thanks for joining us at six. I'm ty Steel,
I'm Kimberly Gill. Those allegations are high steel.

Speaker 2 (02:07:35):
Now, Kimberly gil our Pittsburgh bureau chiefs might remember she
was on Channel four there in Pittsburgh for many years.

Speaker 29 (02:07:42):
But now she's a tass tale of the truth now
with the center of a lawsuit claiming the company's vice
president went on an hour long tirade attacking the company's
products and employees before taking aim at its customers.

Speaker 2 (02:07:55):
And the former employee recorded it all.

Speaker 9 (02:07:57):
Eric Ericsson shares that recording and what the company is
saying about it.

Speaker 2 (02:08:01):
We have four people and that's just part of an
over and out.

Speaker 4 (02:08:08):
Wow right, Oh, just the bro it's soup.

Speaker 2 (02:08:15):
It's not a lot of people eat soup.

Speaker 23 (02:08:17):
Just po I love you awful for long rant, says
former security analyst for Campbell's Robert Garza of Monroe.

Speaker 30 (02:08:28):
Anymore so healthy that even I look at it at
bio engineered me. I don't want to eat a piece
of chicken. I came from a three D printer.

Speaker 23 (02:08:41):
You the recording allegedly of Campbell's VP and chief information scene.

Speaker 2 (02:08:45):
Now listen, If that chicken is coming from a three
D printer, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (02:08:51):
I think.

Speaker 2 (02:08:51):
So these are advances in food technology. VP is like,
now that I know what's in it, I don't want
to eat it. I can kind of identify with that.
Anybody who's ever worked in restaurants. It's like if you
once you've been in the kitchen of any kind of restaurant.
And I worked fine dining before I got into showbiz,

(02:09:12):
and oh boy, you'd never eat there again ever.

Speaker 4 (02:09:15):
Ever, what depends on the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (02:09:17):
No, this is what I'm saying. It does not depend
on the restaurant. If you've ever worked in a kitchen
or have seen what has gone on in the kitchen,
it doesn't matter if it's a four star joint or
if it's you know, some mom and pop tak area.
You could probably make a case of the mom and
pop joints are probably run a little bit better, I

(02:09:38):
would say so. But the guy out here in Monroe, Michigan,
is levying accusations, not even accusations. The guy's on tape.
That's a bit of a gamble too, though, if you
have surreptitiously recorded someone, because you've got to make sure
that all your t's are crossing, your eyes are dotted too.

(02:09:58):
But isn't that illegal? Well, that's what I'm saying. In
some states it is. You got to have two party consent.

Speaker 4 (02:10:04):
So I don't know what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:10:05):
In Michigan.

Speaker 23 (02:10:06):
Yeah, security officer Martin Bally, he has no filter. Bally,
along with another supervisor, and Campbell's suit company named in
a lawsuit filed Thursday. The suit claiming Bally made racist
remarks admits to coming to work high, and Garza fired
for coming forward.

Speaker 2 (02:10:24):
What do you think about the things that he was saying? Oh,
I just disappeared discussed.

Speaker 23 (02:10:30):
Garza says he usually worked remotely for Campbell's headquarters based
in Camden, New Jersey, but thinking he'd be discussing his
salary with Bally, he says the recording taken in person
at a restaurant.

Speaker 6 (02:10:45):
Probably.

Speaker 23 (02:10:46):
Garza says he felt sick after the rant, deciding to
go to his direct supervisor in January, keeping the recordings
to himsel.

Speaker 4 (02:10:54):
Wait, why was he recording the guy in the first place?
That's what I mean?

Speaker 2 (02:10:58):
If the guy what because the guy already said, well,
I come to work high, and.

Speaker 4 (02:11:01):
I guess, but why, like and why at that level?

Speaker 2 (02:11:05):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (02:11:05):
Like, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

Speaker 2 (02:11:09):
What if they settle with the guy for a lifetime
supply of soup?

Speaker 9 (02:11:15):
I don't want that crap? No, this guy, No, I know,
it's really fired. Yeah, he's already been told it's crap.
So who wants that?

Speaker 2 (02:11:22):
Hmm? Self? He had never had any disciplinary action, They
had never written him up for poor work performance.

Speaker 23 (02:11:29):
Garza says, No one at Campbell's ever followed up, and
it's taken him ten months to find a new job,
calling the way the Cansup company handled it simply terrible.

Speaker 4 (02:11:40):
They have a model, you know, like we treat you
like family. You know here at Campbell's, soon'll come work
for us.

Speaker 2 (02:11:45):
You know, where reach your employees like family. That's that's
not the case.

Speaker 4 (02:11:50):
We did just w some No one believes that. We
just don't feed you our trash soup.

Speaker 2 (02:11:55):
Every company says we our employees are like family.

Speaker 4 (02:11:59):
No one believes that.

Speaker 2 (02:12:00):
And by the way, most people don't get along with
their families. So you know, it's probably truer in some
ways that you might hope or expect.

Speaker 4 (02:12:08):
And that's not personal commentary. Ippen to like Campbell's soup
just fine.

Speaker 9 (02:12:11):
I just think it's very funny that the guy who's
supposed to be like massive level guys and.

Speaker 4 (02:12:16):
They're like, that's trash. Nobody should eat that crap.

Speaker 2 (02:12:20):
Well, I mean, if you were to ask, you know,
we take shots at our company all the time. Yeah,
but we would never tell people to not consume our product.

Speaker 4 (02:12:28):
Well, no, because that directly affects.

Speaker 2 (02:12:30):
Me and this product. Listen, Rob We're here making Kansas
soup every day. Okay, this is a product too. Now
we are a product that is of course guaranteed human.
So what are I would say less what Campbell's would
we be?

Speaker 4 (02:12:50):
Are we chunky? Chunky?

Speaker 12 (02:12:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:12:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:12:53):
Are we more like a cream a mushroom type?

Speaker 2 (02:12:56):
Are we?

Speaker 4 (02:12:57):
Are we? No chicken noodle?

Speaker 14 (02:13:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:13:01):
You know, I gotta go wrong with a chicken noodle.
We're a chicken noodle with the wide noodles.

Speaker 2 (02:13:06):
Campbell, by the way, Campbell, because about five companies own
everything now and in the food biz and elsewhere, Campbell's
is like the same company as like Swanson and Prego
and Pepperdge Farm and you know, Petbridge Farm remembers, I
remember when the VP got caught on camera Petsbridge Farm
does pepperch Farm remembers, uh?

Speaker 4 (02:13:23):
Yeah, what kind of soup?

Speaker 2 (02:13:24):
We would? A chunky soup, A healthy chunky soup.

Speaker 4 (02:13:27):
Nice chicken noodle.

Speaker 2 (02:13:29):
I like a chili, I like rob I'll be a
beef with Barley.

Speaker 4 (02:13:36):
I want to lie to you. You make a beef
in barley. Why wouldn't they? I don't know.

Speaker 9 (02:13:41):
I mean, that's a that's a that's a different I
bet you it's not high on there.

Speaker 4 (02:13:45):
I must have list.

Speaker 2 (02:13:47):

Max beef with Barley.

Speaker 2 (02:14:49):
And you said no way. I said, no way, my

Campbells make spaghettios?

Speaker 2 (02:15:27):
They do?

Speaker 24 (02:15:28):
Is them?

Speaker 2 (02:15:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:15:30):
I mean I'm pretty sure, don't they.

Speaker 2 (02:15:31):
I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (02:15:32):
I thought Campbell's made spaghettio.

Speaker 2 (02:15:34):
Let's see who makes it, Like.

Speaker 11 (02:15:35):
The ravioli in a can, that's chef you know what
I think it is, that's chef.

Speaker 4 (02:15:42):
Boy ar d right.

Speaker 2 (02:15:43):
Meat. Okay, so the Campbell's website says meat our soups.
But I thought that they were part of spicyetios, a
can pasta dish from Campbell's. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, they
make parking beans and spaghettios and yeah, spaghettios. You know,
I've never had spaghettios. No, because when I was a kid,

(02:16:03):
I asked for him. My mom was like, you know,
my mom's a little bit of a snob. She's like,
they taste like lipstick. I go, Mom, I don't know
what lipstick tastes like either. Yeah, I'm not kissing girls
yet I'm five. Yeah, come on, no, I was like,
I'm not kissing girls yet, Mom, I'm eighteen. That was
a Lake Bloomer. I wasn't there yet.

Speaker 4 (02:16:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:16:26):
I haven't had that stuff in years and years and years,
but I always remember enjoying spaghettios.

Speaker 4 (02:16:32):
I like meatballs.

Speaker 2 (02:16:34):
Ill hmm, all right, well, they make them, and this
VP is probably gonna lose his gig because he's making
fun of the Indian people who work their call lines.
He's making fun of the product that they create, their
chunky soups and uh, you know three D printed chicken.

(02:16:57):
Who knows they do lobby at the Campbell's company. They
pay a lot of money to lobby and maybe they're
lobbying in favor of three D printed meats. I don't know,
but that guy's in trouble. Thank you whichever one of
our Detroit bureau chiefs sent me that, And Chef Boyards,
if you have did it on that crisis. What's that

(02:17:18):
that's from here, right, Chef boyar d. I think so
the guy was the guy Rob's a chunky New England
clammon shadow. Tell me what I am? I know what
I am. Pal, somebody said, I would be broth with Celery.
All right, fair enough, What are you on from me?

(02:17:39):
Maybe a split p and ham it.

Speaker 8 (02:17:43):
The Car Show on Best Way to Resist the Machines.
Dumb down your smartphone by listening to this craft he
won't even remember.

Speaker 19 (02:17:59):
How told Time Show on one hundred point seven w MMS.

Speaker 2 (02:18:21):
God, our friend Mary Santora is back on the show tomorrow.
Robert calls her not being on at all since she left.

(02:18:41):
I don't think I has. Maybe I'm Mandela effected myself.
I was thinking that she had been in or was
she on the phone. Did we talk to her once?
Was on the phone once or twice?

Speaker 8 (02:18:50):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:18:51):
Okay, that was in the immediate aftermath of her So
you might be right. But she will be in here tomorrow.
The last couple of years she has been doing the
weekend at Hilarities, the weekend the week of Thanksgiving. Tomorrow
also happens to be her birthday. Rob I've decided I'm
going to get her a nice big bottle of vodka.
That's probably a great idea.

Speaker 9 (02:19:11):
Oh really, I don't think that I miss I don't
think Mary Santora drinks.

Speaker 4 (02:19:17):
Nevertheless, I guess we're gonna find out I give it. Yeah,
this is what I bought, this is what you get.

Speaker 2 (02:19:24):
Yeah. So anyway, Mary Lynn Santora will join us tomorrow
on her birthday and we'll talk about what's going on
with her. If you still follow her on social media,
you know she's killing it out there and she's doing
this coming weekend at Hilarities.

Speaker 4 (02:19:40):
She was just in La.

Speaker 2 (02:19:41):
I think I saw over the weekend like she was
shooting a movie or see some reshoots or something. So
she was working on.

Speaker 4 (02:19:47):
So Rob we went.

Speaker 2 (02:19:48):
Now that Jess is back on the phones, we will
have gone from just you and I to tomorrow, Jess
back there and Mary in here.

Speaker 4 (02:19:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:19:59):
Okay, listen, a lot of people hit me up about
the soup. I'll move on. Thank you. A lot of
people calling me celery with broth. Okay, fine, Alan. If
you want to feel really weird, google beef Fizz and
I did, and I feel weird beef fizz. In the
nineteen sixties, the summer of nineteen fifty five and into

(02:20:21):
the nineteen sixties, one of the twentieth centuries hottest summers
on record, led the Campbell Soup Company to create a
vintage well it would become a vintage recipe, something they
were describing as a nutritious refresher. They promoted drinking Campbell's
condensed beef broth as a cold beverage over ice, sometimes

(02:20:46):
mixed with ginger ale or lemon juice. The initial campaign
was known as soup on the rocks. This which is
different than like a Visci swase or a gaspacho. The
idea was to take the Campbell's beef broth, put it
over ice, and then mix something with it. They called
it a beef fizz.

Speaker 4 (02:21:08):
I don't like the sound of it. I just don't
like the name either.

Speaker 2 (02:21:11):
It's a terrible name. It's a terrible idea. It's a
terrible name. It's a huge swing. Imagine a universe of
which beef fizz became a wildly popular drink.

Speaker 4 (02:21:20):
You could go into a bar, you know, a lot
of times now.

Speaker 2 (02:21:23):
For the longest time, bars weren't carrying the giant carafts
of pickled juice. Right, yeah, but a lot of bars
do now because people are hip to picklebacks. Now, Jess,
you don't drink, correct, No, okay, Jess doesn't drink. When
you did, what was your drink? I love ticklebacks? Picklebacks
are great. I love them so good.

Speaker 11 (02:21:44):
But you know I would do you know, the typical
vodka or you know what, anything that was.

Speaker 2 (02:21:50):
That's why I don't drink anymore, because anything anybody handed
you, you would drink. Oh yeah, now what was something somebody
could conceivably hand you? Now, obviously you spend some time Chicago,
so you're hipped tom Alort. They had it on tap there. Yeah,
I m people. Huh. I did a tongue dip of
it one time.

Speaker 4 (02:22:06):
Oh that's all you did?

Speaker 2 (02:22:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (02:22:08):
And it, oh my god, gasoline, sweat, grapefruit, you entire fire.

Speaker 2 (02:22:11):
Yeah, just and I love it's on your tongue. Yea,
it really does, and you feel it all the way down.
But uh, there are more bars where if you order
a pickleback, they know what you're talking about, whereas years
ago they had no clue what you're talking about.

Speaker 9 (02:22:25):
Yeah, the first one I'd ever had was with you.
I didn't I hadn't even heard of that in my life,
and that was just like a year ago.

Speaker 4 (02:22:31):
It's not even like it was when I first got
here or anything.

Speaker 2 (02:22:34):
But imagine again, I say all this, Imagine a universe
in which the beef fizz was huge. You know, we'd
walk into Flanneries or wherever and.

Speaker 4 (02:22:42):
Go to beef fizzes.

Speaker 2 (02:22:44):
My man, do you want that.

Speaker 4 (02:22:48):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:22:49):
Do you want beef broth or consumme with that? Do
you want ginger ale or lemon juice? I have a
soup meat. How do you like that?

Speaker 4 (02:22:59):
Neat?

Speaker 2 (02:23:00):
Let me get two fingers of broth. Neat, please, David
Lee broth.

Speaker 10 (02:23:06):
M uh huh.

Speaker 4 (02:23:08):
He's excited, he kind of.

Speaker 2 (02:23:09):
Text during the break.

Speaker 9 (02:23:11):
I asked about Chef Boyardy being from Cleveland. Yeah, and
he said, my grandma used to take care of Chef
Boyard in the nursing home a long time ago. Said
he was a mean old bastard, spit food on her.

Speaker 10 (02:23:28):
Once.

Speaker 9 (02:23:29):
I got to assume that's like probably old man like Alzheimer's.
Chef Boyard probably so nice.

Speaker 4 (02:23:35):
On the can.

Speaker 2 (02:23:35):
Yeah, not that I saw him on the can, but right, yes,
uh yeah, No, from Italy, but moved to Cleveland. In
nineteen seventeen. He became the head chef at a place
called the Hotel Winton. Chef Boyardi hey Byardy. His name
was et Tor ettr Boyardi was the last name. Obviously

(02:24:00):
they would turn it into the brand name was more
phonetic spelling of his name.

Speaker 4 (02:24:04):
It's really funny when you think about it.

Speaker 2 (02:24:05):
He died in Parma, Ohio, in nineteen eighty five. What
a guy in a nursing home at age eighty seven.
That's where your friend's grandmother survived by his wife. He
had five grandchildren. He's buried at All Souls out in Shardon.
I wonder if the headstone is a giant cann soup.

Speaker 8 (02:24:24):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (02:24:25):
I wonder if he would at all would have it
would be the beef FERRONI didn't that come in a can, though,
I guess I should.

Speaker 2 (02:24:33):
I should say a can. I wonder if they buried
him separate from his beef feroni. I don't know, detached.

Speaker 5 (02:24:41):
But.

Speaker 2 (02:24:43):
That's where he's lying in rest out there and might
be worth looking into. So your friend's grandma, is that
what it was?

Speaker 5 (02:24:52):
Was?

Speaker 9 (02:24:53):
Yeah, this guy's grandmother, let's see it. My grandma used
to take care of Chef boy r D in the nursing.

Speaker 4 (02:25:01):
Home a long time ago. Said he was a mean
old bastard.

Speaker 9 (02:25:03):
She said he spit food all over her wand and
I said, I was going to just start making up
all these crazy things about him.

Speaker 4 (02:25:09):
But I'm not gonna do that. Grandma. How was the
staff at your nursing.

Speaker 2 (02:25:12):
Home a bunch of assholes? Grandma?

Speaker 4 (02:25:17):
I love you, I love you.

Speaker 2 (02:25:18):
She had a different situation than Here's what okay, mine?
All right, I go out.

Speaker 4 (02:25:30):
Jesus, Oh, he's finally done.

Speaker 2 (02:25:35):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (02:25:37):
Guns n' Roses is going on a world tour.

Speaker 2 (02:25:40):
Most of that tour is going to be in the
rest of the world, and they're not coming here. It
might not shock you to know, but I know that
there are guns and Roses fans. Is now the time
to see Guns n' Roses? No, I mean, you're still
gonna get them in better shape than you're gonna get
Motley Crue all told. But you got to go to
Chicago or Toronto basically if you want to see Guns n'

(02:26:03):
Roses in twenty twenty six, Raleigh, North Carolina, Hershey, Pa.
I'm sure West Coast stuff add on dates like these
other things do, but probably not Cleveland. When was the
last time Guns n' Roses played Cleveland?

Speaker 17 (02:26:19):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (02:26:19):
What football stadium show? I would imagine on the reunion?

Speaker 9 (02:26:22):
Yeah, I can't imagine that they wouldn't play a stadium.

Speaker 4 (02:26:26):
I mean they're not going to play the arena.

Speaker 2 (02:26:29):
They played the Rocket Mortgage field House. We called it
the Romo Fijo rob When was that October the twenty sorry,
October twenty seventeen.

Speaker 4 (02:26:40):
It was still the queue then.

Speaker 9 (02:26:41):
Yeah, so that was before they had that gigantic arena
I mean stadium tour.

Speaker 10 (02:26:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:26:50):
I think the first time I went to the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was Guns N'
Roses twenty twelve. They got in because I had Duff
McKagan on the show. They were in town to get
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Spent a
lot of time with that, with that band that has
slashes kidding it, The uh Oh returned to Dust opened

(02:27:15):
for Wolfe Vandalen.

Speaker 4 (02:27:16):
Good little band, dude. Yeah, nice to see kids rocking.

Speaker 2 (02:27:20):
I mean, what are you gonna do if your dad
is slash with respect? You're not going to go off
and be an accountant because you're you could, but you're
a dude, and you're like, holy Christ, look at the
life my dad has had.

Speaker 4 (02:27:32):
Mostly so you're front and center for it.

Speaker 2 (02:27:34):
Right, it can be done, And there's a little crack
in the door for you because your dad is slash,
so at the very least, even if you flame out,
even if you don't really have the goods and it
sounds like they do. But even if you don't, because
there's a lot of bands like that, like the Slipknot
kids are in a band, right, they're all on the road,

(02:27:56):
right because you'll they'll at least give you one tour
for the novelty of it. So you at least get
one tour. Yeah, but in order to have too. It
was like what wolf he was saying, Right, you gotta
have chops, You gotta do your own thing. You can
only be Eddie van Halen's son once, you know, to
make that impression. Yeah, that's still so damn cool.

Speaker 9 (02:28:18):
I mean, I just I couldn't help but keep thinking
that while we were in here talking to him, and
I'm looking over at him and I'm like, Eddie van
Halen's son, Yeah, you know, Wolfgang, I just couldn't And
I thought that was the coolest thing that you asked him,
was how old were you when you knew what your
first name meant. I think everybody starts last name starts

(02:28:38):
Eddie starts all that, but you started with the whole
Wolfgang thing, and he was like, you could tell he
was kind of like, oh, and you talked about his
mom and.

Speaker 2 (02:28:45):
But his answer was the same about the same time.

Speaker 4 (02:28:48):
I was trying to be.

Speaker 2 (02:28:49):
All slick, but he gave me the soup on the rocks.
You no surprise, nice? Did your band do any Chicago
band do itny? Neil Diamond? Just oh no, the Coming
to America or anything like, what was the oldest song
you guys did? Oh my god, you probably had to

(02:29:10):
throw some like Mombo number five. No, this is gonna
make us feel real old. The oldest song we did?
That really old song from like ninety four. Yeah, yeah,
Sweet Caroline.

Speaker 4 (02:29:19):
I don't know, Okay, that's an old song. That's old.

Speaker 2 (02:29:22):
Yeah, that's Neil Diamond. Ba is that Neil Diamond? Yeah,
Sweet Caroline. Then the song sucks. I mean, of course
people love that. College kids ruined it. It's a good song,
but douchebags ruined it.

Speaker 4 (02:29:36):
It's just a not a great song anyway.

Speaker 16 (02:29:38):
Fuck.

Speaker 4 (02:29:38):
It really was cracklin Rosie.

Speaker 9 (02:29:40):
But in all fairness, what ruined it was New England
because they adapted it at all of their sporting events.

Speaker 4 (02:29:48):
Oh you guys started that. I don't know.

Speaker 9 (02:29:51):
I mean, I can tell you that it's been at
every single Red Sox game since I was like a
little kid. Every time I went to Fenway Park that
was there. They would play it.

Speaker 22 (02:29:58):
And remember, dude, I'm so hammy, but I sang the
song Sweet Caroline at Fenway pock Kid, Huh, reach it out?

Speaker 4 (02:30:10):
And I hate it.

Speaker 2 (02:30:13):
On that show at the queue, the Guns n' Roses show.
The que was the second leg of the Reunion Tours.
What people were telling me, I got my document signed
in the parking garage after that Guns n' Roses show. Well, dine,
we call that the old baker may for you the
sighting of the document. Guns n' Roses hasn't been back
to Cleveland since last time. Somebody threw a bottle of

(02:30:34):
pea at Axel Rose. Uh, Cleveland, always keeping it classy,
keeping it real. Hey, thank you so much for coming
to entertain these maniacs in this town. Here's a bottle
of pea for your troubles. Yearn yurn an urn of
year yearn Alan. My great grandfather had the opportunity to

(02:31:00):
go into business with Chef boy r D. And he
said what everybody else said at the time, Who the
hell is going to eat spaghetti out of a can?

Speaker 4 (02:31:08):
Some people don't have the vision.

Speaker 2 (02:31:09):
Hindsight's twenty twenty obviously, But at that time, all it
took is one or two people to go, Yes, this
guy knows something.

Speaker 4 (02:31:17):
It's much better than to eat the spaghetti into the can.

Speaker 2 (02:31:22):
I try to fill a toilet the bawl with a spaghette,
and it's uh, jess, what are you?

Speaker 12 (02:31:28):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (02:31:28):
What is your ethnic extraction?

Speaker 2 (02:31:30):
Hungarian?

Speaker 10 (02:31:31):
German?

Speaker 2 (02:31:32):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:31:32):
Okay, Eastern Europeans.

Speaker 2 (02:31:33):
So like a lot of paprika and puma meat and
stuff like that growing up?

Speaker 11 (02:31:37):
No?

Speaker 4 (02:31:37):
Oh really, not a lot of gulash and things like that. No,
like what did we eat?

Speaker 11 (02:31:44):
Yeah, yeah, spaghettio's all the time. That's why I don't
like it anymore. No, it's just it smells sweet it.

Speaker 2 (02:31:52):
I don't know the spaghetti's do. I don't know how
to explain. There's definitely a difference, probably telling sugar in it, right,
I mean that they have to.

Speaker 11 (02:32:01):
Preserve it, even the look of it, in the smell.
I don't I know, huh uh uh.

Speaker 2 (02:32:06):
Well they I'll try them. I mean I had my
first hot pocket A couple.

Speaker 10 (02:32:09):
Of years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:32:10):
Oh, hot pocket. See now I'm talking your language. Yeah,
I'm speaking our language. See.

Speaker 9 (02:32:14):
I don't know, man, I think they're fine. I haven't
had them in years and years, but I think they're
perfectly fine hot pockets.

Speaker 4 (02:32:22):
No spaghettios.

Speaker 2 (02:32:23):
Spaghettios.

Speaker 4 (02:32:24):
You gotta get them.

Speaker 9 (02:32:24):
With the meatballs, though, I get wicked bad heartburn every
time I eat it.

Speaker 4 (02:32:28):
Though I know that.

Speaker 2 (02:32:31):
They have it with and without meatballs.

Speaker 4 (02:32:33):
Yeah, you can get them without, but come on, go
for it. You gotta go for it, I guess.

Speaker 24 (02:32:38):
So.

Speaker 2 (02:32:41):
Okay, Well, if you listen to us on the app.
By the way, a handful of new bureau chiefs have
joined us people who listen from out of state on
the app. Chris got a brand new job in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
That is suburban Chicago. I felt bad because he hit
me up and he was like, hey, I need some
I go once I got out of the city. Man,

(02:33:01):
I am lost. So I know, like vaguely where you are.
But he's he got a gig working for United Airlines,
so he's listening on the Apple. Congratulations.

Speaker 4 (02:33:11):
Matt listens in d C.

Speaker 2 (02:33:13):
Travis is in Pittsburgh, Carry is in Clayton, North Carolina
Jackie's out in Salt Lake City.

Speaker 3 (02:33:20):
Alan Clyty, Alan, you sung up a bitch your best
of show on Friday.

Speaker 4 (02:33:30):
Thanks to you all weekend.

Speaker 17 (02:33:32):
All I kept singing was drop cake a baby.

Speaker 14 (02:33:39):
God.

Speaker 2 (02:33:39):
I actually said that walking into Walmart, as the lady
looked at me like I was crazy. Anyway, we loose
you both taken a context.

Speaker 9 (02:33:50):
Yeah, that would be a hell of a thing to
hear someone say in a Walmart.

Speaker 4 (02:33:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:33:53):
I re aired the drop kick a Baby on Friday
when we were running walk on, drop Cake a baby,
walk in that dar no one cares, mister Belvitere theme song.
I didn't know what Leon Redbone was saying at the time,
so I may do with the information that I had.
Gotta call your mama, har No one cares, No one care. Yeah,

(02:34:15):
and it is a bit of an earworm. So anytime
something like that re airs, I will hear from people
that be like Jesus, I'm singing drop kick a baby.
And again, if you're walking around just kind of living
your own life, it's not incoming upon you to provide
context for every other person you run into. We're all
living out it, We're all living out in the world,
as long as you're not harming another person.

Speaker 31 (02:34:37):
Drop kick a baby. Hey Allen, Hello Jess, welcome to
the show. Lovely to hear from you, Rob, I'm right
there with you.

Speaker 32 (02:34:50):
Hot boxing, and then going Christmas shopping at the mall
was awesome, taking in the sights and the decorations, the sounds,
even though I usually hate crowds.

Speaker 2 (02:34:58):
The best gifts I would give, I.

Speaker 32 (02:34:59):
Would just fire myself randomly staring it because you know,
normally if I try, I suck at giving gift, so
I disappoint some more like a harmonica.

Speaker 2 (02:35:06):
All right, cotton balls, even once you huff my taint.
This guy, if common ball's ever heard of moss balls,
I guarantee it's this, it's harmonica.

Speaker 10 (02:35:19):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (02:35:20):
When my wife turned my away send years behind me,
so when she turned thirty. She had said before, I
was talking before about how the only time I've ever
nailed a gift is when I hear something in passing
and I walk it away. That's probably true of most people.
Some people like Rob have that preternatural gift for literally
forgiving gifts. Anyway, she mentioned she's like, boy, I'd like

(02:35:44):
to learn how to play the harmonica or no, sorry,
it's I have to say it very specifically to make
it work. She said, I love to play the harmonica,
or I love to know how to play the harmonica,
and I, in my brain I go, this is great
because I'm terrible at gifts. And so we're in Chicago
and we were having a surprise dinner with a ton
of friends downtown and for her thirtieth birthday, family and

(02:36:08):
friends are coming in. We're at the hotel before we
go to dinner, and I go, here, I have this
gift for you. I got it this harmonica. And I
got to think and she opens it up and she's like, no.
In my brain, I'm like, I nailed this. I nailed
it because she mentioned it in passing. Nailed it and
she was like, oh. I was like, what do you mean?

(02:36:30):
Oh what do you know? He said, I I'd love
to know how to play the harmonica, and she goes, yeah,
I'd love to know how to play. I don't want
to learn how to play, Like, oh my god. It
was just it wasn't even a twist of syntax, rob,
it was just that's the kind of luck I have.

Speaker 4 (02:36:52):
Did you ever did you ever play it? Did she
ever play it.

Speaker 2 (02:36:56):
Nope, I don't know where it is, just collecting dust
now I don't it's in the box. I don't know
where it is. No, I don't care about the harmonica.
But I was like, it was such a random thing,
and I was like, oh, this is great. So obviously,
all these years later people still throw that in my face,
which is fine, but it was that's how not good

(02:37:17):
of a gift giver? I am see, I don't think again.

Speaker 9 (02:37:20):
I think that's you putting a negative experience on yourself
as a gift giver though you didn't know I have
a bad gift.

Speaker 2 (02:37:26):
I'm not using that one example to extrapolate.

Speaker 4 (02:37:30):
I'm talking about like multiple.

Speaker 2 (02:37:32):
Times, but that one in particular is not you didn't
purchase a bad gift. You may have misunderstood the assignment,
but you didn't purchase a bad gift.

Speaker 4 (02:37:39):
In theory, what great gift.

Speaker 2 (02:37:41):
But that's a distinction without a difference, Like if she
didn't like it, who cares? I don't get points for like, oh,
I see where you were coming from. Yeah, you were
listening that you should get points. I've gifted a harmonica
before a euphemism. No, no, whom did you give a Harmonica,

(02:38:01):
it was a secret Santa gift. Ah, that's different though,
that's a blind item right to get it. That's what
I'm saying, Like, if it was secret Santa, what I
should have done?

Speaker 4 (02:38:11):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:38:12):
In her defense, my wife was very understanding. It wasn't
she was like what fat?

Speaker 5 (02:38:17):
You know?

Speaker 2 (02:38:17):
She was very understanding, But it was also like the
umpteenth time she kind of had to pat me on
the head with a gift giving. Well, I'm just not
wired that way, and I wish, I wish that I were.
I think it was shortly after that where like we're adults,
let's not do this. You just like I don't need Yeah,

(02:38:39):
because I would just get Odjena. I would just any
time to this day, anytime there is a gift giving situation,
I hate it really, yes, because I I love the
concept of giving people like giving gifts I think is great.
I just know I'm gonna muck it up and I

(02:39:00):
that doesn't suck. It sucks. That's why, like I always
I've always given my kids money, which again it's not
very sexy, but people, but you could at least do
what you want to do with it.

Speaker 4 (02:39:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (02:39:14):
I think like I'm gonna give I always do, I
always do. One of these days, you're gonna you're gonna
make such a perfect gift. You're gonna go you know what,
I almost stop doing this, be all proud that's coming.

Speaker 2 (02:39:27):
Man, it's I think gifts are better when they're kind
of randomly given.

Speaker 4 (02:39:33):
I you know.

Speaker 2 (02:39:35):
But if you're randomly giving people gifts all year long,
which is my would be much more my preferred mode,
then what the hell do you do when there's an
official time. You can't be like, well, I gave you
all the other stuff. Of course, you can't show pictures
of it. How do you like that house you live in?

Speaker 21 (02:39:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:39:55):
How do you like that car? Well? Come on and
the come on, did you go hungry today?

Speaker 4 (02:40:04):
That was a gift.

Speaker 2 (02:40:06):
I can't eat a harmonica.

Speaker 4 (02:40:08):
I would have, dude, I'm telling you out of spite.
I would have learned.

Speaker 9 (02:40:11):
I would have spent the next year playing that goddamn
thing every single day, learning to become a harmonica player.
And look at this, it's no good. I'm getting I
sound like Springsteen now, nonsense for hours at a time.

Speaker 2 (02:40:28):
Yeah, Oh yeah, Hell on, your hypocrite. You don't believe
in God while you're celebrating Christmas?

Speaker 12 (02:40:36):
What are you?

Speaker 10 (02:40:36):
A moron?

Speaker 2 (02:40:37):
Do you think God has to do with Christmas?

Speaker 1 (02:40:39):
When?

Speaker 5 (02:40:39):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (02:40:40):
What part of Christmas do you think it has to
do with God? By the way, you dope, what are
you talking about Christmas? First of all, I'm living in
this society, okay, unlike you Jesus freaks, I'm not trying
to nail what I think on everybody else's head. So, yeah,
everybody celebrates Christmas. You know, my Jewish friends celebrate Hanukkah.

(02:41:02):
Whatever I have, it's got nothing to do with God.
God was you believe in Jesus? He was born in June?

Speaker 1 (02:41:08):
That hell?

Speaker 4 (02:41:08):
Was Christmas got to do with that? And yes, I
do have kids.

Speaker 2 (02:41:12):
There's a muckety muck in this company as a Jewish
guy higher something here? Oh yeah, yeah, okay, amazingly Christmasy
loves Christmas, huge celebrating. Yeah, why not?

Speaker 4 (02:41:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:41:27):
I couldn't give a fat frog's ass about Christmas. My
point is it's important to people around me, and you know,
some of you jag offs might not recognize that, but
that's what it is.

Speaker 4 (02:41:42):
I'm trying to coexist.

Speaker 2 (02:41:43):
Man becoming angry? Ellen, No, come on too, late in
the show for that make it up, never too late.
You know, Jess is new to the program here trying.

Speaker 4 (02:41:53):
Tot's introduce her. I know she's got to meet all
of us.

Speaker 2 (02:41:55):
I know, yeah, rage and Rob aggravated, Alan, she'll meet
all of us.

Speaker 14 (02:42:00):
Oh, the Allen Cox Show on one hundred point seven.

Speaker 4 (02:42:11):
Called the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 1 (02:42:12):
Alan Cox is the worst strike time personality I've ever heard.

Speaker 19 (02:42:21):
Two one six, five seven eight one double O seven
or one eight hundred three for eight one double o seven.

Speaker 8 (02:42:36):
Tell me you're by.

Speaker 2 (02:42:41):
Waiting for me when one between you stay upon and
you never see even look right.

Speaker 4 (02:42:55):
So what Jimmy Cliff died?

Speaker 9 (02:42:58):
I saw that Cliff. Yeah, yeah, everybody knows. I can
see clearly now. But he was great.

Speaker 4 (02:43:02):
Man, I can see clearly now.

Speaker 2 (02:43:05):
Was a song from the fifties that he did, had
a big hit with it actually when he redid it
early nineties. It was in that movie Cool Runnings.

Speaker 4 (02:43:15):
Yep, that was part of the John Candy documentary.

Speaker 2 (02:43:17):
Too, about the loosely based on the Jamaican Bob sled team,
and so yeah, the song used in a variety of things.

Speaker 4 (02:43:27):
He wasn't the guy who.

Speaker 2 (02:43:27):
Wrote it and originally did it, but he had a
huge hit with the cover of it and did you
Can Get It If You Really Want It? That was
a Jimmy Cliff song.

Speaker 4 (02:43:40):
He had a ton of stuff. Yeah, he was great.

Speaker 2 (02:43:43):
He had an album called The Heart of a Calm
and a film that was with it, which was not
a great movie, but I remember I think it was
one of literally one of the first English language movies
that had subtitles. I feel bad.

Speaker 4 (02:43:56):
I thought he was already dead.

Speaker 2 (02:43:57):
I did too, right, it was eighty one.

Speaker 9 (02:44:00):
Yeah, I just I could have sworn we've had this conversation, like,
not us, but the guy years ago.

Speaker 4 (02:44:07):
I thought he died.

Speaker 2 (02:44:09):
Yeah, so Jimmy Cliff. I don't know if he died
in Jamaica or what, but I think like he and
Bob Marley were kind of neck and neck with that
pop cult, bringing reggae into kind of a greater pop
culture consciousness. Jimmy Cliff is in the rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, Bob Marley is, Yeah, Marley's got to

(02:44:29):
be a rock and roll Hall of Fame.

Speaker 4 (02:44:31):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:44:32):
Jimmy Cliff got in twenty ten, twenty twelve, Native Jamaican
kind of a smoother vibe to him because there were
a handful of those guys that Americans were glimbing onto
with a respect to reggae. There was Bob Marley's, Peter
Tosh and Jimmy Cliff, and you'd see him pop up

(02:44:55):
in movies as an actor and but for a long time,
if you wanted to see him, you had to go
to like the I know a friend of mine saw
him at the What's the Thing in New Orleans? The
jazz festival, Yeah, which over the years became ironically more
kind of rock oriented as that you know, jazz kind
of crowd shrank a little bit. But yeah, Jimmy Cliff,

(02:45:17):
who you know, a lot of people might not know
what he did or the song. You might hear a
song and now realize it was him. He's eighty one,
had a seizure followed by pneumonia. Is that the order
you want? Or do you want pneumonia and then a seizure?

Speaker 4 (02:45:32):
What's going to take you out faster? Whatever? Whatever is
faster is what I want, you know what I mean?
I don't want to drag it out.

Speaker 2 (02:45:40):
Okay, Native Jamaican and yeah, the really the first big
film to come out of Jamaica was his film, The
Harder They Come, and it wasn't a big deal at
the time, but now it's kind of a classic, and
the soundtrack was way better than the movie.

Speaker 4 (02:46:02):
But he was kind of neck and neck with Bob Marley.

Speaker 2 (02:46:04):
You know, Bob Marley was the one that there weren't
a lot of kids in college that were smoking a
lot of weed that had Jimmy Cliff posters on their wall.
Right as far as pop culture went, Bob Marley was
kind of a bigger deal. I have to assume because
he died earlier.

Speaker 4 (02:46:18):
And he was Bob Marley. I mean, he's Bob Marley.

Speaker 2 (02:46:20):
But I think if Bob Marley was still alive, he
and Jimmy Cliff, you know, who knows.

Speaker 9 (02:46:25):
Jimmy Cliff might have I think Bob Marley would have
been leaps and bounds. I think Peter Tosh would have
been bigger than Jimmy Cliff. I think it's just I
think it all just sort of goes with the way
that it happened because of the way Bob Marley died
so young as eighty one something like that.

Speaker 2 (02:46:42):
Yeah, yeah, young man. And you know, Jimmy Cliff kind
of did Peak a long time ago, but he was
always in the undercurrent. He would, you know, like when
the Fujis were big, they were kind of bringing that
vibe back and they would have Jimmy Cliff do stuff
with them.

Speaker 4 (02:47:00):
You could think about it. But what year did Toash die?

Speaker 9 (02:47:03):
It was like late eighties, right, so two of the
biggest out of the Whalers dropped dead.

Speaker 2 (02:47:09):
Yeah, you know, so it's like eighty seven eighty seven.

Speaker 9 (02:47:12):
Yeah, so when those dudes go, I mean, yeah, there's
a lot of opportunity there. But how many other guys
can you name if you're not a huge reggae guy, Right,
everybody's gonna know Toots Toots and the Maytals, right, so
you're always gonna have that maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:47:26):
Desmond Decker maybe. See I'm a munch bigger dancehall fan
than a reggae fan, but I can appreciate, Like I
love the Police. The Police were a reggae band, yeah,
or at least they're there, all their tempos were, right.
That was a rock band who clearly loved reggae. But yeah,
Jimmy Cliff one handful of Grammys, he'd get like Best

(02:47:47):
Reggae Album.

Speaker 4 (02:47:49):
Because because he was around the longest.

Speaker 2 (02:47:51):
Yeah, I think inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in twenty ten with Abba, the Stooges and
Genesis and the Hollies.

Speaker 9 (02:48:02):
No complaints with that class. Got to the Hollies, but
no complaints with that class.

Speaker 2 (02:48:06):
Abbas said, we're a little bit upset that Madonna got
in before us. Yeah, and Peter Gabriel, you might recall,
did not show up to get inducted with Genesis at
the time. He didn't no interesting and they were kind
of non plussed by it. They were like that he

(02:48:29):
hasn't been in this band for thirty years, so we're
really not you know, we're used to him not being around.
A lot of people think, you know that Peter h.

Speaker 4 (02:48:37):
Phil Collins take two Oh you ready? Yeah? Three two?

Speaker 2 (02:48:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:48:43):
Hold on three two one.

Speaker 2 (02:48:46):
A lot of people think that Phil Collins replaced Peter
Gabriel and Genesis, and he didn't in so far as
he didn't come from outside the band. He was the
drummer in the band and Peter Abriel was taking them.
He wanted to keep going in that really proggy direction,
and they were like, nah, we kind of like to
start making some money, having some hits and making some money.

(02:49:09):
We're trying to go the Fugazi route here. We're fifteen
and we all have roommates. We're charging seven dollars a show.
I mean, god blast, but you know, listen, not everybody's
gonna do that. And you know, one of my hitting
the posts on Phil Collins Rob is what helped get
them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which

(02:49:31):
might recall, Ah.

Speaker 33 (02:49:33):
Well, god on the Charlie who's live is somewhere I
don't know where, but Phil Collins now, you know he's
now that solo tour, got thebody Chester tops it behind
the drums. We'll see what happens. This guy has certainly
made his bones after leaving Genesis, and now he's Mountain

(02:49:55):
a huge tour.

Speaker 2 (02:49:56):
Take you out there. He's gonna be rolled through the horizon. Well,
this guy was just talking all over me, Rob. I
was laying the hell that was in the background. That's
me vamping. Let the man talk, buddy, to hit the
post on stuff.

Speaker 9 (02:50:13):
Gave you a long one too, That's a I always
hated that too when I was still doing like Top
forty radios. You get those like, you know, especially like
adult contemporary, get like a forty second intro, and I
know you don't have to use all of it, but
like you want to, you want to hit that like
that was the fun part was hitting that post was easy.

Speaker 4 (02:50:29):
When you had like a little eight second thing.

Speaker 2 (02:50:32):
You get like forty seconds, You're like, I don't know,
it's a Suddy well, but then you just hit the
musical post, wouldn't you.

Speaker 4 (02:50:39):
I would?

Speaker 2 (02:50:40):
Yeah, yep, Suddy Sky's out there today look at like
a jeb of a date about or two jeb of
a day. I feel like I might have thrown off
the girl who is here in the late afternoon, early
evening cleaning the office because she's she couldn't be nicer.
I mean, she's she's one of the most genuinely nice

(02:51:02):
people ever met. And I was walking this last break
to have a pitch, and uh, I said, God, there
are some days where I don't come out of the
studio very often at all, and I forget now that
it's getting dark at noon. And I'm kidding, right, I'm exaggerating,
And she's like what and she she goes, it's five.
I go, yeah, I'm exaggerating, but yeah, and then she,
of course she starts laughing. Yeah, she's like nice. She uh.

(02:51:26):
I think for a second I worried her. I normally
said I was getting dark at noon.

Speaker 9 (02:51:30):
You know, I normally don't care what anybody thinks about
just about anything. And for like a week, every time
I saw her, I'd say hello and she'd go hi,
and I thought she was mad at Like I was
literally going to have a conversation with her.

Speaker 2 (02:51:44):
Oh would you be mad at you?

Speaker 4 (02:51:45):
I don't know. I just I was so like, she's
so nice.

Speaker 9 (02:51:48):
I was afraid that I did something or I was
rude somehow or something, because she wasn't her normal jovial self.

Speaker 2 (02:51:55):
And I was like, did I do something you assumed
that was you? I felt terrible. I'm like, was I rude?
I like let a door close on her?

Speaker 4 (02:52:01):
I don't know. So I was going to say something,
and then one day she would just back to normal.
I'm like, oh, good, Rob.

Speaker 24 (02:52:07):
I didn't want to say anything, but the last time
you passed me let out a small tout that's on bread,
and I didn't want to make you feel bad, but
my mouth was open and I didn't enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (02:52:23):
My mouth was open. Yeah, yeah, hey, how come you know?
Listen Okay, you take the roof of the smooth. I'm
happy that Dick from Dayton checked in with us YEP,
because there had we could neither confirm nor deny that
he was dead. Yes, sounds dramatic, don't mean it to be.
But somebody had said, oh, last week, I was on
some online message board and people were talking about it

(02:52:44):
from Daton. Somebody say he died, and I said, well,
we have no way of knowing that until he either
calls in soon or never calls again, right, in which
case we would just infer that he had passed. But
he called today. But how come I don't get cool
Elliott Siegel? You know Elliott Siegel?

Speaker 4 (02:53:03):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:53:04):
I always think of Elliott Siegel as a guy who
I don't know why he should have been bigger, but
he should have been bigger.

Speaker 4 (02:53:12):
This is a guy who has been around a long time.

Speaker 2 (02:53:15):
He started I think with Elvis Duran way back in
the day, right it was Elvis and Elliott and Elvis
Duran would go on to do like a top forty
thing or whatever, and Elliott Siegel was doing the morning
show in a rock station in DC d D one one,
which is a classic. You know, it's a long time
