Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh boy, there we go. Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (01:10):
Gay? Good afternoon, greetings back live today. Welcome, welcome one
and all. My name is Alan Cox, Thanks for being here.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I do you know how I like? Rob Anthony's over
there too? What's up?

Speaker 9 (01:23):
Man?

Speaker 8 (01:23):
Jess is back in studio. G you will talk to
her before you talk to us. Make sure her microphone on.
I think so we'll hear it from her and I
don't hear you know what I like? Is it turned up?
I guess, I mean I have her?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
No, I mean her? Did she hoot her microphone on?
Oh Jess, I don't know. You slide that thing in

Speaker 8 (01:47):
Is?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Are you all right? Learning curves?

Speaker 10 (01:52):
Day?

Speaker 7 (01:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I figure anythings out. And she's got two microphones because
you know, we can't answer phones through the same microphone
that she talks into, so we have to talk into
two of them, because why not?

Speaker 10 (02:05):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 8 (02:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, So we can't figure out
how to do that with one. No, I know, we
can figure it out. It's just a question of someone
actually doing it. I see. So I'll submit a trouble
ticket to the QR code for tech support. Someone in
India will get back to me in four days and
then tell me when they can schedule time to do it.

Speaker 8 (02:26):
It's very very helpful. On air situation, you unplugged it
and plugged it back.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I did try that out. How about that one? All right?

Speaker 8 (02:33):
Well she's back there, and again you'll talk to her
before you talk to us. What I do like our
friend Dan Stansbury and colleague when he signs off, you know,

(02:54):
he will give away his prize or whatever it is,
and then he'll say, and we all get at the
Alan Cox Show two o'clock, right.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, like it's a gift.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Right.

Speaker 8 (03:04):
He says it like it's a gift, and of course
it's most decidedly not. But it's nice of him to
say that. It's nice of him to front sell the
show in that particular way. If you want to join
us two one six, five seven eight one double oh
seven or eight hundred three four eight one double oh
seven three five one nine to two to send a text.

(03:25):
A lot of people are trolling me about the Ohio
State Buckeys beating the Michigan Wolverines because when those two
teams play, I root for the Michigan Wolverines. That is
the alma mater of most of my wife's family. Of course,
I root for Michigan State because that's where a lot
of my money has gone over the last decade or so.
But people are severely overestimating my interest in that football game.

(03:49):
I forgot it was even on because it was a
travel day and it was a very very snowy day
coming back from Chicago on Saturday. It was like a
full on all day thing. It was not the blizz
white out conditions we had been promised, So I think
in large part my travel we kind of threaded the
needle because on the way out to Chicago, I was
worried that it was well again, everything I heard was

(04:11):
it was gonna be terrible, terrible, terrible, and it really
wasn't that bad as very very windy. We my son
lives in Chicago now, so we dipped off to get
him before we went to my mom's house, and then
my daughter took the train in on Friday morning and
so I went to get her, and then on our
way back to Ohio Saturday, we dropped her back off

(04:33):
in Michigan. So it wasn't I wouldn't really consider it
out of the way because I've made that trip a
million times, and if you know your geography at all,
Rob Michigan sits squarely.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Between Illinois and Ohio, So it was not some big thing.

Speaker 8 (04:48):
But you know, it was a little harry in spots,
but all I was hearing was from people back here
talking about how they were getting hammered here. So by
the time we left Chicago Sat. Saturday, it was really
starting to come down. I'm like well, we're getting out
at a good time then, but it was it was
a wild weekend otherwise, so I had genuinely forgotten about

(05:11):
that game.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
They did.

Speaker 8 (05:12):
Boy, those Buckeyes, I guess they really stomped the Michigan Wolverines.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
And so that's great news, I guess for you guys.
Everybody loves Ohio State.

Speaker 8 (05:23):
Boy, I've never seen a school where more people who
didn't go there bend over and grab ankle for that school.
But they spend a week crossing out ms everywhere and
it's a whole big thing.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Speaking of did you see what Brutus the mascot did
in the end zone? I don't know who that is,
oh for the mascot Oo State. I did not see
that he as they planted their flag. This was during
the game, which made it even better. They were in
a TV timeout and they came back and no one

(05:54):
caught it. So he made a huge X over the
M in Michigan in the end zone and then he
spelled out Ohio right on like the one to five
yard line. Huge. He walked it out with his feet
and it wrote it like it. You know, their main
logo looks. So the grounds crew had to come out
and like lay on the ground and wipe it and
nobody noticed what he was doing, but you could see

(06:15):
it from the air of the placement bananas. It's the
greatest troll of all the time.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Matt.

Speaker 8 (06:18):
Yeah, and this is what I'm saying, Like, I don't
understand why people like these teams come to blows over
this stuff. There is no area of American life that
requires more trash talking than sports. Yeah, it's part and
parcel of all of it. Now, I have no vested
interest in any of this stuff. However, that's where you're
supposed to do that kind of stuff. Yes, you're supposed

(06:41):
to plant your flag at the fifty yard line of
the team that you've just demolished. Well that they didn't
and Ryan Day gets to keep his job for another
year because that Ohio State football program. Speaking of getting
bent over and grab an ankle, they are regularly bent
over by the Michigan Wolverine and the Ohio State football program.

(07:02):
All they care about is beating Michigan. They're like, we
don't care if you beat Indiana, we don't care if
you beat Notre Dame. If you don't beat Michigan, you'll
probably lose your job, right, so he gets to keep
his job for it's the only game they care about
in that football program.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Well, I can't imagine he would lose his job if
they lost to Michigan after winning a national championship.

Speaker 8 (07:22):
If they did, they're taking that way too seriously. Well a,
they do take away too seriously. Be I'm exaggerating, but
just did you know what I mean? Like that is
the game they care about, and so anyway, so I
I genuinely forgot that that was on. So the people
who are trolling me, Mazeltov, I didn't have money on it,

(07:43):
and you're severely overestimating my interest in it. But I mean, listen, great,
we're in Ohio, right, great news for the people who
were Buckeyes fans. And if you had money on it,
that's awesome too. It's always good if you're able to
win a bit of money. Of course, Rob speaking of money,
today is Cyber Monday. Have you paid attention to Cyber Monday?

Speaker 7 (08:03):
No?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Because now they've just they've they've literally made all the
sales just blend together. Everyone started the early Black Friday
last week, right, So I was looking for like there's
two things that I'm getting both of my daughters. And
I'm like, all right, what day should I get it
on to get the best deal? Plan me? And I'm
looking shut up Alan, So I'm looking everywhere. Yeah, well
this is still plan a dick. And so I'm looking everywhere.

(08:25):
And all the sales started like on Wednesday, yes, and
it's it's gonna run.

Speaker 8 (08:30):
They were doing somebody was doing Black Friday like on Halloween,
like best buy or somebody did Black Friday on Halloween.
I'm like, wow, that is heavy duty because you got
to this Trump economy, nobody's got money. But it makes
it difficult to try to understand when the hell you're
supposed to like try to buy things to get the
best deal now.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
And I don't think people wait in line anymore too.

Speaker 8 (08:50):
They like my sister in law, my middle brother's wife,
she was one of those people, her and her mom
and her sister. They'd be out there freezing their little
lips off at like four in the morning for Black
I don't think people do that anymore so.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Because so what you're talking about, Hey, you can get
everything online.

Speaker 8 (09:09):
B you know, they like jack up the prices ahead
of Black Friday so that when they drop them down
everybody thinks they're getting this amazing deal. And I think
people finally got wise to it and they're like, why
am I standing out here?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
But what they're doing now, though, is they're starting to
put that stuff like on they're they're doing like gift bags.
Instead of it being like this doorbuster that you get
a TV for seven dollars, now it's like you get
this gift bag and one of the gift bags has
a five hundred dollars gift card. That's true.

Speaker 8 (09:39):
That's what they do now, Like when you walk in,
when they open the doors. Yeah, people are fighting with
each other. There was a a target near us. People
were in line at like four o'clock in the morning.
Oh so they do do that to get these gift bags.
And I think that's the only way you can get
people to do it now is they don't think anybody
cares the way. So it's like Charlie and the chocolate factory, right,
I see. Yeah, So they I don't know what they

(10:01):
you know, just some stuff happen.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I guess it's worth it if you're trying to score
a deal or whatever, but but yeah, I don't I
don't care about a gift bag.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
Well, I didn't know that anybody was doing that on
the site anymore. That the whole like standing in line thing.
And you know, but if they're incentivizing people rob with
gift bags, it used to be a huge deal. Oh,
it used to be a big deal.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah. We would go out as a radio station with
a potty pass and we would go to the people
who were waiting in line and we'd give out hot
chocolate and crap like that coffee. Then we go you
gotta go to the bathroom here, hold on to this
and we'll wait in line for you so you don't
lose your place. Look at you public service things to do.
And I'll let you guess what format I was working then.

(10:46):
One Rock was probably the top forty or easy listening exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
Hi, we got a pay pay pass, double pepay pass,
the potty pass, and you're giving them coffee. Yeah, no,
diaryta crop. Loading the deck in your favor is what
you're doing.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hi, we've got a BM pass for you.

Speaker 8 (11:10):
If you're stat at the line and you're touching cloth,
you got a turtle head poking up for black. All right,
I have ride from w M A Edison. We're out
here touching your touch of cloth. All right, you're prairie
dog and we're here for you.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, that's right. Got the kids up of the pool
and get in lined out here and best Buy because we.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
Dormus are more like Pantsbuster deals. O my wrong, Hi
every bother? All right, listen enough of that nonsense.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Ellen car Show on one.

Speaker 10 (11:50):
Flowers willed loved ones, past memories fade, but these things
just seems.

Speaker 7 (11:59):
To go on.

Speaker 8 (12:00):
For the Allen Cox Show on seven w MMS two
one six, five, seven eight one, double o seventy. You
want to join us live eight hundred and three four
eight one double oh seven. You'll talk to Jess before
we talked to us, So tred Lightley three five one

(12:24):
nine two to the attacks. Calves are on the bit
of a losing the streak. Yeah yeah, lost to the
Celtics by two last night here at home, lost to
the Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta, one of those NBA Cup games,
and of course the Raptors beat him in Toronto last week.
They get a crack at breaking that streak tonight, that
is a seven o'clock tip off in Indianapolis against Caitlin

(12:48):
Clark and the Indiana Pacers.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Calves Pacers.

Speaker 8 (12:51):
Tonight seven o'clock six point thirty is when your pregame
coverage will begin here on MMS. But your Vollier's are
I'm well listen, they're middle of the pack right now,
but there's plenty of room for them to move around.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
They're just going to break this streak.

Speaker 8 (13:10):
And the Boston was able to hang on in Cleveland
beat him by two one seventeen, one to fifteen. That's
what you call a robust game of basketball. Rob guy
left a message for us on the iHeartRadio app. I
can't quite tell where he's coming from.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Ailent Cocks.

Speaker 11 (13:28):
You are miserable pieces. So even if you didn't go
to Ohio State and we root for them, we bend
over for the school.

Speaker 12 (13:40):
Hey, asshole, it's called just having fun, you know, pride
where you live, you know whatever, it's all little, good,
good fun, an asshole. Once you get a life with
your faggot ass haircut, a lot of people went off,
you will, you.

Speaker 13 (13:58):
Know, Rob.

Speaker 8 (13:59):
If there's one thing that's emanating from that guy, it's pride, right,
Pride is the case he's trying to wow.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Hey man, it's just about having fun.

Speaker 8 (14:07):
You have, faggot Okay, cool, Well anyway, anyway, yeah, wow,
call me all the names you want, bro. I think
you're making my case for me, and people are taking
things a little too seriously when it comes to competing laundry.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
That is what sports is. Literally all you said, and
you when you get the grab an ankle for a
school you didn't go to, is just a it's an observation.
You need to go to faggot for that one.

Speaker 8 (14:30):
You could root for any school you didn't go to.
You can root for any school. And again, I'm not
getting Ohio State graduate vibes off of him there. Nevertheless,
I could be way off, but boy, that's say I'm
a piece of shrimp.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Something else happened today for that guy.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
Because I had the audacity to suggest That'll now, again,
my evidence is merely anecdotal. Most of the people that
I run across, when they say they root for a
state I go, oh, what class were you? I didn't
go there? Okay, well listen, it's you know, it's fine.
It is the one big university in the state of Ohio.
That's fine. A lot of other places have a number

(15:12):
of schools you can root for, but that's fine. Again, Yeah,
I didn't go to college, so I don't care.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Guy.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
He wanted me to know Rob he was displeased with
my assessment. I'll always root for the home team where
I am, you know what I mean. I'd love to
see you, Okay, great Ohio State one. I didn't care,
you know what I mean. If Michigan won, I would
have said, that's where Tom Brady went. And Tom Brady
was my guy. Like, I don't necessarily care. I mean,
I'm happy to see Ohio State win because it made

(15:40):
so many people here happy, but like, I don't know.
I didn't go there. I didn't go to college. The
only college team I can say I actively care about
now is Mount Union because that's where Caitlyn goes, right see,
and they just won their playoff game. Now They've got
John Carroll next week. Yeah, so I'm watching that stuff.
But that's D three football. Nobody cares. There's seven people

(16:00):
in the stand. That's how I tell people.

Speaker 8 (16:01):
I go. I root for the place that gets my money,
and that's the Michigan State Spartans. So when I'm out
in public and somebody goes.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Go great, I go go White.

Speaker 8 (16:09):
I don't care, right, But that's where my money goes
such a massive My money has gone for a long
long time.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Stupid little thing.

Speaker 8 (16:16):
I'm going to infer that guy's anger has nothing to
do with me.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
I'm guessing that he is. He needed a place to
put it. He pointed it at me, and that's just fine.
I call you an a hole the first time. I'm like, okay,
you can get away with they call somebody to but
then to die.

Speaker 8 (16:33):
Second, never gonna call me anything I haven't heard before.
He ain't gonna call me anything. It's gonna bum me out.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
He got more and more mad. Is that thing went? Jesus,
he did take a breath homeboy.

Speaker 8 (16:43):
It's okay, not that bad. I like his coda, though,
of a lot of people want to f me up.
Rob Yeah, yeah, me and the three people I talk
to on occasion.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
Maybe he's got Maybe he knows a lot of people.
I don't know that many people. Maybe he knows a
lot of them.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
Stop.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Those are the kind of explictives I like.

Speaker 8 (17:07):
Smack dab in the middle of a Christmas song, you
were talking about those gift bags to get people to
wait out in line for Black Friday and stuff, and
a lot of people were texting me in the break
out pissed a lot of those people were because except
you know that going in right dusting down in Georgia.
He's like, yeah, Target had people waiting outline with gift
bags or whatever, and some people got a pack of

(17:27):
Uno cards and other people got you know, gift cards
or whatever. It's like, yeah, but that's the look of
the drawings, you know that going in. That's why it's
so amazing that people are standing out there waiting. Al
And I work at home Depot. We didn't have many
great deals, but we had like one hundred people standing
at the door when we opened. I was in home
depot getting lights. I don't know why I do it
to myself every year. I should just bite the bullet

(17:52):
and get one of those dudes to come out and
put lights on the house. Every year right after Thanksgiving,
we got home on Saturday evening and yesterday I'm at
home Depot. I do the same thing every year, and
I know people say that it's wasteful, and I don't
like to be wasteful. And they've said, at the very least,
you should recycle them or donate them, and you're absolutely correct,

(18:12):
and I will do that this year. A couple of
years ago, I started every year just buying new lights,
and then when I take them down, I throw them away.
And because I'm like, every year, I would go back
into this tub of lights like so many people do. Right,
it's a cliche. At this point, half the lights work,
hat they don't whatever. So I'm putting these lights on

(18:34):
the house. Every year I go, I buy seven boxes
of lights, rob seven boxes of lights of a certain
length right at home depot red box. I know exactly
where they are in and out in minutes. Seven boxes
of lights every year. It is either too many or
too few boxes of lights. I'm like, my house isn't

(18:54):
getting any bigger. Your patterns change the light.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 8 (19:00):
Every year I buy seven boxes. Now it's been a minute.
And of course you would be right to ask Alan,
why don't you just start buying eight boxes of lights
every year?

Speaker 2 (19:11):
That's a great question.

Speaker 8 (19:12):
Or because one year I only needed six boxes, this
year I need nine. I don't know how that happened.
I'm up on the ladder and oh, I'm cursing. You
could just save putting these icicle lights on the kind
that hang and so when you get them out of
the box, they're like already tangled and whatever. First world problems, right,
But I'm out there it's cold, and I you know,

(19:36):
I have work gloves, but those don't. You can't have
any fine motor skills with those, rob So I'm out
there bare handed hanging lights on the god damn house.
And who cares? They got all these companies. They get
the mailers in the thing all the time.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
They do the ones that are permanent too. Yeah, they
got those. Okay, it permit, like it's on and it's
there forever, That's what I mean.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
But I like that.

Speaker 8 (20:03):
Yeah, but the rest of the year there's lights on
your house.

Speaker 9 (20:05):
I know, you do it.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's a special kind of light. You don't necessarily see it.
You see it. It's still a physical bulb. Well not necessarily.
Well there's stress. Yeah, but I could do that, right,
I may do that, and so then.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
So then so I get the lights up, right, But
then I have like one of those Wi Fi plugs
for outside, so you can automate the lights when they
turn on, when they turn off. And then I'm cursing
at that because I'm trying to get the thing to
pair with the app.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Uh, the blue light will blink. I'm like, God, damn it,
I just why am I doing this?

Speaker 8 (20:41):
It's you know why it's worth it to me because
I cast my mind forward to when the season is
over and I can tear those friggin things off the house.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
You got to take them down. That's why I never
put them up.

Speaker 8 (20:51):
I know taking them down is a hell of lot
of easier and put them up with yeah, especially you
throw them all away. Well, I'm not going to do that.
People were right to criticize me. They said, hey, man,
don't throw them away. You can take them places, and
they're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
So this year I will do that.

Speaker 8 (21:05):
I'll put them in a bag or something and I'm
gonna donate them this year. I'm not gonna throw them away. No,
because there's you can probably take me to the fire's
house or something.

Speaker 7 (21:18):
Right.

Speaker 8 (21:18):
Yeah, so ac light land filler. It's a little clunky,
but I get where you're coming from. And I ain't
getting those because here's the thing with the permanent lights.
You know, they run the gamut like everything else. Yeah,
there's a dude who will do it for you for
three hundred dollars, but like a company who's sending you
flyers in the mail. It's like twelve hundred dollars. I'm like,

(21:39):
let's calm down.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
You pay for man.

Speaker 8 (21:42):
I understand, good stuff, you understand, but it is worth
it to me to get on the ladder and not
pay twelve hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
And my wife did the the what do you call it?
The garland and stuff like a reef and things around
the door she has that year. That's about the extent
of lights for us. Yeah, because I'm.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
Not doing I'm like, well, what am I Clark Griswold like,
I don't care about this, but I do it because
it looks nice and my kid likes it, and you
know it does it looks holey for the season, you know,
and I because otherwise I sound like a scrooge, you know,
which I don't mean.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
I really genuinely don't mean to.

Speaker 8 (22:26):
I know there are people who love this time of
year and they're just immersed in it, and it's you know,
whether it's from their childhood or nostalgia, or they're making.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Memories of their old rub the old fabulous.

Speaker 8 (22:37):
It's all just as a five month old, for God's sake, right,
She's probably trying to make a magical time for her kid. Yeah, right,
memories yesterday, Right, except this kid won't have memories until
he's like three. I know.

Speaker 14 (22:52):
He doesn't know the concept of time. He doesn't know
his hands work, so his hands work.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Feet. He doesn't know yet if he has found those ys.
But you didn't have to use them either. So yeah,
when you saw Santa yesterday, Oh, he could not care less.

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Oh you took him to Santa. She did wear a
cracker park Where was this god?

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh strong? So oh strong sol okay them all?

Speaker 8 (23:15):
Yeah, unfortunately, No, he's in the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Rob the son of a bitch. Hey, that guy got
into it with you. I didn't I know. I thought
you were gonna say, hey, that guy have been on
to something. He had a sign and it was like
three bucks. I was like, you know what, this doesn't
look kind of looks like Santa smells funny. But you know,
we have a guy.

Speaker 8 (23:35):
We have a guy out in our area who goes
to people's house. He makes Santa house calls. That's what
we did when our daughter, she's nine now it's almost ten.
When she was like four and five, we had Santa
come out to the house and the guy walks in
and it's an audience so one and people are taking pictures.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
He's like, and I'm the fancy guy, right. Wow, he
personalized Santa show ups.

Speaker 8 (24:02):
Yeah, but before that we just kind of took her
when she was a nugget Hey to Crocker Park had kids.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
My mother had a best friend was a hairdresser, a
guy named Tony and exactly what you would expect from
an Italian hairdresser named Tony, amazingly gay. And he would
come back. Oh, and he would show up as Santa.
He would, you know, because he worked for Santa. So
you get into costume for us and come out and
do a little special stuff to figure out what the

(24:29):
kids wanted for Christmas every year, and it was arguably
one of the funniest things in the world in hindsight,
because Santa didn't sound as much like Santa as one
would expect when you're seven years ago. Y ho ho ho, Hey,
Santa Claus and Santa came with his his elf friend

(24:52):
and they would have a great time and it was
fun for everybody. It was very funny to know the
person and then the person who came in to play
along ass Santa for Yes, you've heard of Elf on
the shelf. This was an Elf on the I'm here
for all the caddies. But that's a nice thing to do.
What was the best?

Speaker 7 (25:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, and he loved it. This is as close as
I'm ever going to get to feeling like a dad
Ho ho ho Speaking of hoes.

Speaker 8 (25:19):
And you come around of the salon lately, because I
have got some gossip for you about Angelo angel model.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
He was the best.

Speaker 8 (25:29):
Wow, Yeah, that's pretty nice. Al knows permanent lights are
super expensive. They quoted me eleven thousand dollars for Saya
ble Bungalow. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't buy that. I do not buy eleven dollars.
This is what I'm doing. This is what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (25:47):
It really runs the gamut because those companies that do this,
and the case they make you is you like them right,
you get them done once and it's a quote investment
in your home, all right.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Stop.

Speaker 8 (26:00):
I had off Rand out by us, who was quoted
around thirteen thousand dollars. How big was the house? Granted
a big house. I don't have a big house. I'm
in babe, I'm a big house, big house. I go, okay,
but even for a big house thirteen thousand dollars, because
you know guarantee they're pulling up and looking at that
house and going, oh, wait to thirteen dollars.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
We could judge him whatever we want, of course. Yeah, oh,
this guy's a doctor forty grand Yeah.

Speaker 8 (26:27):
So there are those houses that are well known throughout
northeast Ohio.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Right, there's a house a Wadsworth.

Speaker 8 (26:33):
There's a couple in North Olmstead that just fully Clark Griswold.
I always immediately think of the neighbors who they can't
even remember Christmas vacation with, like Julie Louis Dreyfuss and
her yuppie husband. We're living right next door, and Griswold
turns his house on and the lights and they're blinded,
and you know.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
There's that meme out there of someone that does that.
Basically the Griswold house, like they have the r V
and the driveway everything like it looks insane. And then
the house right next door just has a lit up
sign that says diddo, Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
That's me.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
That's my style.

Speaker 8 (27:08):
People are asking if that was you on Facebook talking
about Thanksgiving leftovers?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Did I? Yeah, I had a whole bunch of stuff.
My plans changed, so I made way more food than
we needed, and I didn't want to waste it. So
I was asking if anyone knew of a place that
would take us very nice, so I donated all though, yeah,
leftovers all.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
My wife is in a Ma Dinah Facebook group and
saw a post from Rob that was me, Rob Anthony,
this guy jesz.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Come on, Why am I the only clap this guy is? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (27:37):
Did you get the slow clap from that? I got
the slow clap, the head twist, everything, all right, Well,
she's got a five month old, she's dead tired. Listen,
you have got so was the kid just like a
cabbage he's just sitting there? Or was there any indication
that he cared about Santa or no?

Speaker 14 (27:53):
No, he loves strangers, Yeah, just Smiles's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Good, that's what you want to hear.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Even he likes us. Why he likes Halloween so much?
It's so much candy from somebody strangers? Well, look at
all these strangers. This is a perfect situation for a
young child. Does that white van have a booster? Any
chance it's like, oh, I'll go with you. Yeah, you
look fine.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
What have you said?

Speaker 8 (28:16):
What your kid's name is Wesley, Wesley you can call
him West. We call him wesle Wessel. I do at
least like Wes or Wes Hole, Wes hole. Yeah, no, seriously,
Wessel Wessel.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 8 (28:29):
Yeah, friend of mine' married to a guy named Wes.
I'm like, that's a cool name. Wes is a cool name.
Names from puddler Mud.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
I think of that guy. You can't.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
They don't come any cooler than our buddy Wes Scantlon.
Do they rob the puddler mud guy? Right? I mean,
if you known as the covers King, if you love
twice yearly arrests.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
The not me? Sure?

Speaker 7 (28:51):
I do?

Speaker 8 (28:51):
Like, thank you for this? You?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Oh come on? Oh boy, me.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Can dig you.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Having a tough day. I got on Christmas tree this
weekend too? Did you strap it to the top of
the car for you? Where the I still get the
real Christmas trees? I don't get, not one of those
fake Christmas tree households.

Speaker 8 (29:34):
When we first came to Cleveland, I tried a real
tree and I came to the conclusion that it ain't
for me.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I didn't grow up with a real tree.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
They guzzle water like you got to keep that panfull
or the thing becomes a tinder box.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
And they don't smell like trees. I thought my.

Speaker 8 (29:51):
House was going to be filled with pine scent. You know,
I'm nose blind to it now, Rob, but I always
have an air freshener plugged in here in studio.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
See, it smells like pine year round.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
When I had my office in Independence, when we used
to be out there, I had a pine candle and
I was so used to what I barely noticed it.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
But people would come in and go, oh my god,
it smells so good. I love that smell. And I
thought a real tree was going to smell like that.
And it did not.

Speaker 8 (30:20):
Well, I mean it can, I guess they can. I
had to hang the friggin senticals on it. I go,
what is the point of this senticles?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Huh?

Speaker 8 (30:28):
Yeah, Like they're these pine they smell like something, and
you hang them like ornaments. I'm like, why am I
hanging these on a real tree?

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah? No, I understand. Mine definitely smells like a Christmas tree.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
Well that's good. I'm sure some of them do. But
the ones that I had gotten from a local nursery
at the time.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
It's the variety, not it really depends on the variety.
The one that smells the most like a Christmas tree
looks like crap. I think it's called a white fur
or something like that. The needles are really really long,
and it doesn't look at all like what you would
expect or want a Christmas tree to look like. But
if you want that smell, that's what you get. We
get one called the con Color, and like, I always
have to look all over for him, and they're stupid

(31:05):
expensive and hard to get here. But it's our favorite
tree and it actually smells more like citrus. Uh so
it's like Chris Christmas and an orange together. It's a
it's a citrusy smell. They're awesome. That's what we get
every single year.

Speaker 8 (31:19):
Well, listen, my grandmother used to give us oranges and
our stockings because she grew up on the Depression, so
that was a big.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Big deal. Smack you with them first. No, he's like, oh,
this was a treat when we got an orange, pulling
a big Crosby on your hitting he with a sock
full of oranges or an apple.

Speaker 8 (31:34):
Yeah, alan wasn't Wesley the name of the kid on
Mister Belvidere.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
And grab cack a baby the door. No one cares.
I got a break. Let me clear my throat. Ellen
Carr show on one hundreds of it.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Call the Alan Cox show boy named Ellen Cox and
my show sucks.

Speaker 7 (32:07):
Two one six seven eight one double oh seven eight
one double oh seven.

Speaker 8 (32:21):
No boy, Eric and Penn Hills sent us a brand
new AI song rock.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Oh boy, he's a.

Speaker 8 (32:28):
Guy that sent us a Festive Gloryhole. So his billing
now is from the AI brains who created Festive Gloryhole.
Because you were talking about your gay stylist friend Tony,
who would he was Santa.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
For the kids. Yeah, when we were when I was
a kid, and so Eric.

Speaker 8 (32:49):
Sent Tony the amazingly gay Santa, amazing amazingly Wow. I
think I said that.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Oh, I was gonna say, that's a wild I was
trying to adverb dress the fact that there was no
questioning Tony's sexuality back in the.

Speaker 8 (33:03):
Day, and not like he was trying to hide, not
in the least. And I would imagine too. I don't
care which way you're Peter Teeters, if you enjoy being
Santa and entertaining people.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
I say, more power to so it seems thankless. But again,
like I was old enough to know who he was,
you know what I mean. But like my brother's seven
years younger than me, and you know, you've got all
these younger kids around, and we had a huge family.
So he'd come and everybody'd be like, oh my god.
You know, it was like a huge deal. It's fun.
Let's see what he did here. Hold on.

Speaker 15 (33:41):
In the heart of old Massachusetts were Burns World rage live,
Tony the Santa, the talk, Oh the he's off the
safe for a cantruog's nose with glittery suits. M some

(34:05):
fabulous clothes, Shimmy, Jimmy, but never get.

Speaker 16 (34:12):
Suits because Tony boy, he's six and just Santa spreading
cheer with.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Christmas?

Speaker 8 (34:44):
Is Tony still with us? By the way, is Tony
still around? Does he still dress up for the kids?

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Santa? I haven't seen him in years and years and
years and years. Wow, I'm sure he's not still doing hair.
We should send him this. Oh, I'm absolutely thank you.

Speaker 7 (34:58):
Eric.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
There's Eric Outt and Petty Hills.

Speaker 8 (35:01):
So good we've you know, we have regaled this audience
with tails of the constant disrepair that we find our
facilities in the way of men's and women's bathrooms right
here at iHeart Cleveland. And so when I went in
there earlier to have my midday dump, I was met

(35:24):
with a smell that I can confidently say I've.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Never been met within there before.

Speaker 8 (35:29):
Okay, we have been exposed to any manner of smells,
many of which you would expect to find in a bathroom,
some of them not.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Today.

Speaker 8 (35:40):
I went in fresh paint. Oh have you been in there?
I have not smells like fresh paint. I usually need two.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Breaks because I just drink water the entire show, so
by the time we go to the next one, I'll
have to unload.

Speaker 8 (35:52):
I think that they've got maybe there's a new sheriff
in town, with the respect to whoever handles that kind
of stuff. I think there is, And I think that
they're making one of the renovations that there I shouldn't
say renovation, just kind of repairs or whatever is that
they've removed the partitions in between the urinals.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I think one rusted off the wall, and so when
you walk in there now there's no partition.

Speaker 8 (36:13):
Now, I'm not a guy who needs a partition.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
I ain't pe shy. I don't care.

Speaker 8 (36:17):
We're all working with the same stuff, right, We're all
in there rob to do the same thing. But it
is a little striking to see no partition.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah there was one. They said someone ripped off the wall,
but I don't think so. That thing was hanging on
by a thread because it was so rusty.

Speaker 8 (36:30):
Why would somebody rip a urinal partition?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Well, if you stumble into it, you know, because there's
a bar. Somebody could have just been drunken, like the
weekend maniacs or something. I see.

Speaker 8 (36:40):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, somebody's doing some with her. I
walked in, I go, this smells like fre this new
paint in here, and then I got high for a minute, Rob,
And it doesn't take me long in there, uh, And
then I walked out with some steam in my stride
if you will, Yeah, check it out in a few

(37:01):
They're also fixing the heat here on.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Our suite, huh, which uh heard that one I guess
was a thing. So this is the kind of thing
that when I always say things drive me crazy about
this place. Back when we had this issue the last time,
and then the time after that, but in reverse, when
the air conditioning wasn't enough, so everybody was bitching that
it was hot in the summertime. I said, I have

(37:26):
a reminder set in my calendar on my desktop that
just says remind bosses to change filters. So I say, hey,
maybe we should schedule the guys to come out. That's
not what's causing the problems.

Speaker 8 (37:42):
Okay, all right, cool, that's not what's causing the problems.
And then guess what happens three months later? The entire
place is pissed off and we have to read emails
about how the heat doesn't work because the guys have
to come.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Out and change the filters.

Speaker 8 (37:52):
If you stayed on the schedule, we'd be fine. Dopes,
I'm on a schedule at Cosa Cocks. I have remind
to change my h back filters and things like that,
Right of course you do. How would you know the
intervals to change the filters here? I have to imagine
they're larger industrial filters.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Because if you remember, I was here every single morning
at five for two years, so I knew when they
changed the filters. I and said, hey, how about we
change them quarterly? And if that's too much of a hassle,
how about twice a year. Oh though, dot's note the problem? Okay,
what did they say was the problem? I don't I

(38:31):
don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (38:33):
Go touch the thermostad, go drop it to sixty eight
degrees and watch it bounce back up to seventy one
on its own.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
They don't. They don't work. Nothing works. It just it's
it's cute. It looks nice. Sixty eight to grace Jesus,
I skipped one. What if it was one degree higher?
Six seven?

Speaker 8 (38:49):
Because no, oh, if it was nine. See, that's when
we get into a gray are right. You could either
go six seven six seven, which is guy. I was
doing that all Thanksgiving day long, by the way, at
my mom's house, because my son and I were just
howling how dumb six seven is because one of the
little cousins was there and he was talking about how

(39:10):
he's not allowed to do that, and my sister's stepson,
he's not allowed to do that, you know.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Massive bands everywhere on it. Yeah, well you get in attention,
getting kicked out of I mean like I mean, like
in the house he's not allowed to do it, right,
which I fully understand. I mean, you know, but he's
six and he looks like he's two very small young
men and so just doing that all.

Speaker 5 (39:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
I posted a video to my story yesterday on Instagram
and it was a little kid, cute little kid, young two,
and the dad's holding her and he goes, hey, I
think her name was makeup something, Charlie, Hey, Charlie, Uh,
what's Jesus doing? And she goes six seven And you

(39:54):
turn and you see the picture of Jesus and it's
that pose where he's like reaching out and it looks
exactly like he's doing six seven. And I'm like, that's funny.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (40:03):
It's also your buddy blim Daddy's birthday today. I saw
that Daddy is the guy who hosts the afternoon show
down the Hall here at WTAM recently was distributing nut
taps to our own Rob Anthony when we were at
an event.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I have to imagine he will never do that again.
Because you tapped him back. That wasn't a tap. You
punched him full on it. It was a backhand, like
but I got I got between your fingernail and my
first knuckle TwixT right under his sack and I hit
him hard on like I I came from like my
waist areas like what yeah, yeah, don't ever hear any

(40:41):
saying do that to me?

Speaker 8 (40:41):
Man, you inverted his taint. Yeah, I said, yeah, Well
I did whatever I had to do. And then I
was like, oh, weren't you supposed toake a picture of
a listener?

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Here you go.

Speaker 8 (40:50):
I know that the time is long gone by the
time you're an adult. The time is long gone where
you get birthday spankings. But let's say maybe it's tradition
in his family. Again, I know nothing about it, but
you imagine how triggered he would be if anybody came
near him from this point on trying to distribute birthday spankings,
even in like a joking way.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
He'd be like, huh.

Speaker 8 (41:13):
Oh right, so yeah, worried about you. Yeah, well with
those nut taps, and don't listen. Don't write checks you're
not prepared the cash if you can't, don't mess with
the ball if you don't want the horns get horn
trying to sass right, Yeah, Hi.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Alan, Hi, Rob Meghan from grafting here.

Speaker 14 (41:36):
So I was at a place of business and I'm
jumbling over my words, and I stopped for a second,
and I say, take two.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
The way Alan does. And it was so funny.

Speaker 14 (41:45):
I'm laughing at myself and the guy kind of looked
at me like I had two heads, and then he
kind of laughed too when I restarted my sentence and
made it correct.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
So I just want to thank you guys for another earworm.
Absolutely fabulous, love me, hate you, hate the show, Bye
it down.

Speaker 8 (42:00):
I was gonna say, one of the things that we
enjoy so much here on the show is when the
dumb things from here spread like a virus out to
you out there. And that's what Megan's talking about now, Rob,
two things can be true, right, which she talks about
when I'll stumble over my words, I'll say take two.

(42:21):
Because you know, there are a lot of people who
believe that this show is fully scripted. And so that's
my call out to you that you can follow along.
When I say take two, you are able to find
which page of the script we're on? Yep, Like for now,
right it's a three to oh one, we're an hour
into the show. Which page of the script are we on?
That is absolutely correct. See Rob is able to follow along.

(42:41):
We are on page fifteen of the script. So if
I were to screw up uh, nay, when I screw up,
not if when I screw up, he knows which page
of this, So Megan, to take that now, Am I
absolutely goddamn hilarious in real life?

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Of course? I am right.

Speaker 8 (42:59):
I'm giving you a fraction of what I provide out
there in the actual real world. Right. Of course, that
goes without saying so when Meghan's like, oh, it's so
funny when.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Now, of course it's funny when I do it.

Speaker 8 (43:09):
Of course, However, for you to be able to take
that out there and to incorporate it into your own life,
you know, people send us photos all the time of
anything they see that has Monroe on it. Right, Monroe,
it's so dumb, and we have worked it into just

(43:29):
about everything we can possibly do around. But what's even
better is if people are doing it verbally. And I
really hope that's happening out there, right, not to get
in people's faces. I'm not talking about like tiktoky pranky stuff.
I'm talking about as dead pan as you can do

(43:50):
it in regular life. Megan wasn't drawing attention to herself,
she said, Take two. She was resetting her brain doing
it verbally with something from this program and I love it.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Monroe Monroe so.

Speaker 8 (44:06):
And by the way, the bigger the non sequitor, the better.
Yeh yeah, you know, if you just happen to be
in Target. I was in Targeted over the weekend, picking
up some odds and ends, some sundrys.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Rob.

Speaker 8 (44:20):
And let's say you find yourself in Target or any
big box retail establishment, right, you walk around randomly, if
you or run other people, just go now, they will
turn and look at you. You, however, will you won't
make any note of it whatsoever? Will you possibly be
mistaken for someone with a verbal tick? Sure, but that's

(44:44):
a small price to pay. I was reading about some dude,
one of these influencers, you know, Rob, the influencers always
trying to influence. And you know, three of the most
overused words in our current discourse, by the way, are influence.
Her sparks outrage, Right, you see that all the influence

(45:06):
her sparks outrage.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I mean, I'm not outraged. It's dumb.

Speaker 8 (45:12):
There's a guy in was it Houston or something, some
dude that I've never heard of, But that doesn't mean anything.
There are a lot of people who are very popular.
I've never heard of them before. A guy in oh
Austin and New Orleans, a guy named Keith Castillo, known
online as pov Wolfie, was walking around handing homeless people

(45:33):
eighteen inch machetes and giant handles of vodka. Oh good,
and he was you know his when you're an influencer,
you gotta you know, you get to film it obviously,
and then you're gonna make it sound like it's something altruistic.
I'm out here keeping homeless people safe. Meanwhile, you're basically
making fun of them, and that's where people get upset.
So this guy was handing out, by the way, machetes

(45:56):
that are still shrink wrapped, so you got to think
these people are going to take make them and sell
them somewhere. Maybe that was part of it, posting videos
of which he distributes large machetes and alcohol to homeless
people in multiple cities, including Austin and New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
What a douchebad, Honest to god.

Speaker 8 (46:16):
You can purchase eighteen inch stainless steel machetes machete machete
in bulk for under five dollars each and give them
huge handles of what appears to be a vodka. Some
people actually asking for more machetes, and of course, once
he starts to get some traction online, he goes, Wow,

(46:39):
I'm just trying to keep homeless people safe.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
No, he's trying to get like another round of bum
fights extreme what it sounds like, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (46:47):
Right, I'll show you some if you're watching the live streams,
don't really need the audio for it, but you can
see that he's and people are lining up keeping the
homeless safe. And he's to these giant handles of probably
cheap vodka to machetes, and he's handling them out and hey,
you want one? He's like, yeah, yeah, could I get

(47:08):
a This is great? Could I get another machete? And
you tell her by the second, But he's getting attention.
Influencer sparks outrage. Rob people are outraged. Now will those
people with their outrage do anything to help the homeless
in their communities?

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I bet not.

Speaker 8 (47:29):
Nevertheless, plenty of down votes for pov Wolfie, who's twenty
nine no Spring Chicken in the influencer space, and he's
been going around from city to city. He says he
has about thirty machetes in his car. He's going to
go to Vegas, La, New York, and he said He

(47:52):
claimed he consulted police before distributing the weapons and was
told he was not breaking any laws.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Yeah, I'm sure he went of the cops. Hey, is
it cool with you guys?

Speaker 8 (48:03):
If I give homeless people booze and machetes, absolutely sign fantastic.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
I keep them safe, right.

Speaker 8 (48:11):
He also dismissed concerns about handling handing alcohol to people
who struggle with addiction. Of course, the actual law enforcement
people that they did talk to for the article said
this is quote a cocktail for disaster phrasing, but that
possessing a machete is not illegal by itself. Only machete

(48:35):
run in I've ever had is with the border people
between Canada and the United States. I have a bug
out bag in my car and it's full of all
kinds of implements, one of which is a machete, but
it's in the back of my trunk and I really
don't think about it.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Rob.

Speaker 8 (48:53):
It's for the apocalypse, it's not for everyday use. And
there's a mas in there among some other implements and
survival gear. Telling the truth on this, I am telling
the truth. I have a full on bug up bag
in the trunk of my cart. Yes now, because I
think of it so little. One time we were going,

(49:15):
you know, we're gonna be in Toronto in a couple
of weeks. Again once once we go on break. But
years ago we went up to Toronto and the guy goes,
can I look in your trunk?

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Sure?

Speaker 8 (49:27):
Well, you know what I mean, Like, I don't know, yeah, fine,
not even thinking about the thing. And the guy comes
back and he goes, what's with the machete? And I go,
all right, I go well, and I did a quick explanation.
Otherwise there was no reason to worry about me or
detain me. I do remember being a little prickly at

(49:49):
him asking me, but if it's not illegal, like, hey, knuck,
just let me into your country, I'm trying to spend money.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
But why even ask then if it's not, Well, it's I.

Speaker 8 (49:58):
Get that they have to Well I was going into Canada.
Well I don't know if it is. It's not here,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
But that was the only.

Speaker 8 (50:09):
And then I went back to forgetting that that was
in my car. But yeah, listen, not illegal to have
a machete. However, uh this guy passing them around.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
To people.

Speaker 8 (50:23):
Along with dry you know, listen, it's not a great look,
but what are you gonna do?

Speaker 7 (50:28):
Rob?

Speaker 2 (50:28):
The guy's an influencer. I think it's awful.

Speaker 8 (50:31):
God, I think it's gross. But he's got to influence.
I don't know what he's influencing people to do. It's
not even like it was a brand partnership. This guy's
too dumb to get a vodka company. Not like they're
going to sponsor something like that, but you know, label
out if you're going to be giving people alcohol.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
The car show on one Evelinders are damn proud of
their city. Come on, you were born here, he moved here.
This is a man that has endured real torture in
a foreign setting. So who's the real hero?

Speaker 17 (51:10):
I would hope people would listen to our heroes.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Alan Cox on seven mms.

Speaker 8 (51:22):
I gotta remember a hot jess up. I feel bad.
He's probably back there trying to say something and I
got to get back into that habit somebody being in studio.
G you, I have a lot to say being fun
being stifled back here. Oh hey, guess what. Your cavaliers

(51:44):
are in a bit of a slide, but they're hoping
to get it all figured out with the four and
sixteen Pacers tonight in Indianapolis. They lose to Indiana tonight,
they got some real problems. Cavs are still twelve and
nine looking okay, milve of the pack right now, but
they will play Indiana tonight in Indianapolis. Nasty weather coming

(52:04):
into northeast Ohio overnight tonight, but that shouldn't befront them none,
because they'll come home on Wednesday to host the Portland
trail Blazers and tonight seven o'clock on WMMS and on
the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
I was gonna say, I was gonna do it for you.

Speaker 8 (52:26):
Yes, sorry, so you're Calves Wednesday night, Clyde Frexler, Portland
trail Blazers. Whoever plays for sure now Damian Lillard who
plays for Portland? All right, good Scott it pip a
the Portland trail Blazers. But tonight, let's deal one game

(52:48):
at a time. The Indiana Pacers, if you know you're
latin uh and the six thirty pre game tonight on
WMMS on the iHeart Radio App. I already said that
I won't say the game I got into it. You know,
this was I had Thanksgiving with both with all three
of my kids, both my older kids, and I have

(53:11):
never since my daughter turned twenty one this past summer.
Friday night was the first time I had ever gone
out drinking with both of my kids. Oh wow, yeah,
because I mean, my son's almost twenty five. He'll be
twenty five a week from today. But my daughter finally
turned twenty one this past summer, and so we were

(53:31):
in My son lives in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago.
Just knows where that is, just lived in Chicago, and
and a bar in his neighborhood. So it's me, my
two older kids, my youngest brother, and my brother's girlfriend
because she lives in Arlington Heights, which is a suburb,
and so they just took the train in.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
And it was awesome. It was so fun, and that
was you know, we were talking about this before.

Speaker 8 (53:59):
I didn't even drink around my kids until they were
like in their teens because it just felt weird to me.
I wasn't gonna get all like, you know, around my
kids when they were younger, and so it took me
a long time to even get comfortable doing that.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
But I had never gone.

Speaker 8 (54:14):
Now, at the risk of sounding naive, because obviously both
of my children were drinking before they turned twenty one.
Me they are American teenager. My daughter said, as much
were at this. We went to a couple of different
spots within walking distance, different different vibes in both, but

(54:35):
it's just now how the night went. And my daughter
was like, oh, yeah, she's like in high school every
weekend I was drinking. I was like, oh, cool cool
cool cool cool cool cool cooh cool cool cool cool.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Yeah. But we got into one of those.

Speaker 8 (54:47):
We got into another dumb random conversation like we do
here about like drag names and things like that, and
my daughter said her dragon name was Jacqueline Hyde.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
I good test.

Speaker 8 (55:01):
Because our friend Cody Allen pound cake Brown, he had
arguably the best one with a wish of bitch would
Now I don't know if that was his. There were
a lot of things he would throw in that I
thought were hilarious, but people would go, oh, he took
that from X, Y and Z. I don't know, I
don't care. I love that name. One of mine, rob
is Bella de ball.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
I have to come up with one someday. Wow, Jess,
did you ever have a dragon name? Just as a
goof crystal chandelier. Pretty good. That's also my stripper.

Speaker 8 (55:30):
Name, Crystal Chandelier. Yeah, not chandelier. Oh that's good. Yeah, okay, good,
Well we'll mark that one down too. If you listen
to us on the aforementioned iHeartRadio app, tell me where
you do it. We are, of course rob guaranteed human,
and you can listen anywhere throughout North America. We have

(55:52):
yet to establish a Mexican bureau chief in North America.
We have a lot of Canadian listeners. We have people
around the world who will check in. Evan is a
bureau chief in Minneapolis. Brayley just heard from Brayley in Denver.
Sarah is in Norwalk, Connecticut. Oleg is a Canadian bureau chief.

(56:14):
He's in London, Ontario. Louis is in Newark, New Jersey,
and Matt's in DC. And you can leave us some messages.

Speaker 5 (56:20):
Alan David Menner, Hey, I you know Max Headrome was
a robot and he didn't have no real human certified
human crap. And birds are robots and they're classified is
not supposed to be robots. So how do we know
you guys are really human? At at?

Speaker 2 (56:42):
That's all I got.

Speaker 8 (56:43):
H show he lost me he lost me, David Menner,
I'm have to go through the transcription there, Dave, to
see what happened.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Too many humans, too much going on there. We're too human,
We're we're so human, we don't even know. Okay. So
he's saying, well, we know birds aren't real.

Speaker 8 (57:05):
Birds are of course robots, right, Okay, So Dave and
Menner is saying, okay, Max Headroom was a robot, excepting wasn't.
Max Headroom was a computer generated character. Birds are robots,
he's saying, and they're they're classified as not.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Supposed to be robots.

Speaker 8 (57:30):
I guess that's his circuitest way of taking a dig
at the certified or the not certified guaranteed human because
artificial intelligence and AI now is it's going to create
this massive c change in society that no one asked for,
and so we're all just going to be used as
guinea pigs in the process. And so I guess maybe

(57:53):
he's taking a dig at that because it has inserted
itself and wormed its way to even the most mundane
parts of daily life. A lot of times you're exposed
or using AI and don't even know it. And so
I guess Dave and Menner is taking some exception with
the notion that we rob should just that people should

(58:19):
just trust us that we're human.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
That's right now.

Speaker 8 (58:22):
I'm using human in big old air quotes here, because
you know, people have called me a robot for most
of my adult life, AB a robit, an automaton because
I don't react to things the way other people do,
or I don't feel things the same way that other
people do, and so they read that as some kind

(58:43):
of disassociated person. So I guess what that leads me
to wonder is, further down the line, with my continued
employment with this company, if there'll be any kind of
personality test given to me ROB. I know what they
mean when they say guaranteed human. They go, we're not
using AI talent and personalities on these radio stations. You

(59:07):
can be sure that whatever voice you hear is a
human voice. I understand what they're saying. It's a good
distinction to make.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Down the road.

Speaker 8 (59:16):
Do you think they'll come to me and go, we've
been getting reports that you might not be human? And
I go, well, do you mean that in the biological
sense or in the existential sense? Because in the former absolutely,
in the latter jury's out.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Oh, I think they'll be coming to us for sure
about AI. They're gonna go we're guaranteed human way now now, now.

Speaker 8 (59:39):
We're dropping that because AI works, you're on fired. Yeah,
but they already, like I said, AI is going to
be Uh, we'll all be immersed in it. No one
will be impervious to AI, whether or not it replaces.
I've said it before, Rob once they come up with

(01:00:00):
the snark bought five thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
I'm out of a gig, so I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:00:06):
I know people are being cheeky when they say that
they don't think that I'm human, But I don't know
what to tell you. I certainly didn't seem too human.
I'm Thanksgiving because I got way too high and I
didn't mean to you.

Speaker 10 (01:00:19):
Really.

Speaker 8 (01:00:19):
I stared at the wall for a pretty Yeah. It
was a full house at my mom's house, and I
had had the night before. We had gone to my
brother's house, all of us, you know, not my mom.
She was you know, she does Thanksgiving dinner off of
the night before. We go to my youngest brother's house
and everybody's sitting around and we're just having drinks or whatever,
and my brother hands me a THHC Margarita, and I go, well,

(01:00:39):
I'm not going to have this now because I'm driving
and it's a whole thing. But he goes, we'll just
bring it to moms tomorrow. I go, okay, and yeah,
I did not negotiate that as well as I had intended.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
So were you just high or were you drunk? Too?

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Was not drunk?

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
No, no, no, it wasn't like that. Nope.

Speaker 8 (01:01:00):
So it was just I had a couple of SIPs
too many. Yeah, yeah, Uh but I don't think anybody knows.
There were so many people around, and I'm kind of
quiet to begin with, you know, in mixed company like that.
Contrary to popular belief, I'm not you know, I speak
when spoken to and uh so, I don't know that

(01:01:23):
anybody thought that it was strange that I.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Was just kind of sitting there. Well, and plus, when
you're high, it's the worst because you you just start
to get parento. You think everybody's looking at you. Everybody
knows nothing happened to me. It doesn't know.

Speaker 8 (01:01:33):
I just get I get fully zoned the f out.
Oh I would be panicking my ass. No, I don't
get that. I'm glad. I don't get that, because that
sounds terrible, it's awful. Yeah, I did promise you some Brian,
you did. I am not lying to you, and I
tell you that in our absence, we were gone Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
and of course the weekend. In our absence, I got

(01:01:57):
hundreds of voicemails from Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Wow, hundreds.

Speaker 8 (01:02:02):
No, I mean I start to because I go with Brian,
you're panning for gold. But I'm like, what am I
There's nothing in here that's going to change the audience's
life if I if I delete it, well, you might
have like delete, delete, delete, delete. You know, I'm like
mass deleting some.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Of these things. You may have deleted his stairway man.

Speaker 8 (01:02:23):
Well, here's the thing is our voicemails. They get sent
to us via email as an attachment, and they're transcribed.
Oh so I've gotten to the point where I can
kind of read his shorthand and I can tell pretty
quickly some here, nothing here, and then it goes to
level B.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Maybe something here. I'll listen to it.

Speaker 8 (01:02:45):
Nope, but I'm telling you hundreds in our absence.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
Would a man were a man with a man with
a man with a man.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
With a man with a man.

Speaker 8 (01:02:58):
Hot on the heels of Peppa and Spinderellic heading into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. By the way,
I assume Brian was using that as a jumping off point,
but I guess he only knows just those three words
from the song. Yeah, he only knows the chorus. Yeah,

(01:03:20):
there was a lot more where that came from.

Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
Would a man was a man with a man? Would
a man with the man with the man were the man?

Speaker 8 (01:03:34):
This was back, you know, late eighties, early nineties when
it came to female rap and hip hop. There was
a lot of positivity with Sultan Peppa, right, Yeah, it
was part and parcel of their immense popularity. There was
Saltan Peppa, and then TLC came down the road. TLC
was a little grittier, but Sultan Pepa was all about positivity,

(01:03:56):
giving it up for their man.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Who's a good dude, let's talk about.

Speaker 8 (01:04:02):
There were other people rob if you remember back then,
there are other people in popular music saying, let's not
talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Sex, let's not say we did that's right.

Speaker 8 (01:04:13):
Let's not do that please, And then Salt and Peppa
come along and blow everybody's mind. They go no no, no,
we should talk about sex. Right At that time, AIDS
was a scourge, and so they're like, knowledge is power.
I know there's a lot of people now who think
that Jesus is the answer. Well there always have been,

(01:04:34):
I guess, but knowledge is power, and that's what they
were trying to get across to people. There was a
guy in God This I was in high school. There
was a guy named Bill Latour. Does that name ring
a bell as a radio nerd?

Speaker 13 (01:04:51):
No.

Speaker 8 (01:04:52):
There was a guy named Bill Latour who had bounced
around a bit in radio, but he was primarily in Chicago.
He's a hometown guy, and he was a voice guy
back when radio stations all.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Had kind of like their own voice guys.

Speaker 8 (01:05:04):
He was a big voice guy in Chicago radio, Bill Latour,
and he did a novelty song that blew up first
in the clubs in Chicago, because that's kind of where
house music got going, and then it was in clubs, Oliver.
It's called people Are Still Having Sex? You remember the
song I do people Are Still Having Sex? That was
a guy named Bill Latour, and it was in this

(01:05:26):
would have been late eighties, early nineties, so it was
in the heat of aids Panic not as bad as
early eighties, but still very very talked about. And so
it was kind of his response to nobody's doing it anymore.
People are still having sex with the song. A lot
of people listening might remember. The songs would show up

(01:05:48):
on like dance music compilations and things, and it was
just a novelty that he voiced. Some local DJs had
him voice Sublimeeboy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Noticed that people are still having sex.

Speaker 8 (01:06:05):
Great pipes on this dude too, you know absolutely, how
could you tell him the song?

Speaker 18 (01:06:08):
Yeah, some counselors constantly scoring them. Oh voice, people are
still having sex.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
And what did I say? Great pipe pipes? Right pipes?

Speaker 8 (01:06:19):
He was a voice guy. It's like a production voice guy.

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
He used to stop them song of my sex.

Speaker 8 (01:06:25):
I figured, well that was the B side, right, Bill
atour has a pipe? It was it was subliminal advertise, Yeah,
hello Lever, I don't know it was.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
Yeah, people using my pipe for having sex.

Speaker 18 (01:06:43):
And told Nazu perhaps they are perplexed when you see
him holding hands that are making future plans.

Speaker 8 (01:06:50):
Ye, I don't know if he was. He wasn't the
James Brown is Dead guy. There was another guy this song.
Called James Brown is Dead. That was a big club
hit too. I don't remember that one. Yeah, that one,
people are I remember that one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
You don't remember James Brown is Dead? I don't.

Speaker 8 (01:07:03):
That was another one hit, wonder in the clubs. I
wasn't in the clubs a lot. Man. Well, I had
like appearances. Well, the very very first radio station I
ever worked for was a dance station. So when I
was doing appearances, they were in the club.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
See. I think that's more of what it was like
those dance stations, especially, like you said, if Chicago is
known for house and all that stuff, and it's different,
Like I worked in a newdi bar, but we didn't
play that kind of stuff. That's a good little crystal
Chandeli to the stage. Please, that's right. Made that mistake,

(01:07:38):
now we know that name.

Speaker 19 (01:07:40):
Get your quarters ready, yeah, throw them, take them out
of the roll in first La style was this bound massister,
James Brown is dead again.

Speaker 8 (01:07:52):
I don't know what point they were trying to make, Yeah,
James Brown is dead. Of course, this would be many
years before James Brown actually died. And if you recall
when James Brown died, he was unburied for months. Remember
that Yeah, James Brown died like Christmas Day of two
thousand and six, and it was months before they put

(01:08:12):
him in the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
Look like Casey casem too, remember, Yeah, it was like
they were arguing over who had him or we be
and went missing for a while.

Speaker 8 (01:08:21):
Yep, yeah, James Brown. Yeah, They're like, uh, I just
bury this guy or something I know, and they wouldn't
do it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
It's a dead man's worse.

Speaker 8 (01:08:37):
Yeah. Well, uh yeah, I won't get into that, but
hmm yeah, so a little trip down their U down
memory lane. I don't know how I got onto that,
by the way, but oh I know what it was, because.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
We got all the.

Speaker 8 (01:08:54):
Way there from Dave and Manner. Is that where we
got yeah, guaranteed human? Oh right, yeah, because he brought
up next headroom again not a well you mentioned Thanksgiving?
Was there any uh Thanksgiving? Any big stories this year
out of Thanksgiving? Anything happened that of note, Oh you're
talking about maybe from your mom giving me because last

(01:09:15):
year my mom said, oh I'm dating. Yeah, nothing like that,
although apparently the only person she talks to about anything
is my brother in law, my sister's husband. They've been
married about fifteen months and he's a cop and apparently
she she apparently feels comfortable he's like hung out with

(01:09:36):
her boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
And really, I'm like, I don't want this stuff secondhand, bro,
or because she's maybe she's having him run like background
checks first. These guys good, they're safe, a.

Speaker 8 (01:09:46):
Little late in the game, or that she's been hanging
out with this dude. It's last Thanksgiving, so this's the
same guy. Yeah, I think she's winnowed down the field.
And by the way, I know it's a running joke
from the guys who call up me.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
You know, hey, it's your future blacks dad, that whole thing.

Speaker 8 (01:10:01):
Yeah, I think she's winnowed the field down to this one. Dude,
is it it's not the young one.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
I like that a lot. I didn't like that young one.
But to the best of my knowledge, the guy not black.
Damn it. But again, I've never met any of these people.

Speaker 8 (01:10:19):
I thought, and it was it remained an unanswered question
when I would just say it out loud. I thought
maybe he was going to be a Thanksgiving dinner.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
It wasn't. So what made you think that? Think what
that he could be at Thanksgiving dinner? The fact that
they've been dating for.

Speaker 8 (01:10:34):
A year for a while, all right, except two of
my siblings say they've never met the guy. I'm like,
how can that be? But the why is she hiding
this light under a bushel basket? But your brother in
law has I guess, yeah, they went to some function.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:10:51):
So in answer your question, no, big bombshell, No, nothing
like that. I did get into a conversation with my
sister that she walked away from very pleased, okay, because
she had she basically grew up an only child. My
sister is seventeen years younger than I am, right, so
I was off to college when she was still a

(01:11:13):
baby in the swing, and then my two younger brothers
they were off to win there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
So she was really kind of an only child.

Speaker 8 (01:11:20):
And we got in this conversation about I think things
that she and I had both respectively talked about in therapy,
and how my mom had told her that like when
we were younger, we our house was the one where
all the kids hung out and blah blah blah. And
I'm looking at her like, are you insane? I'm like,
why would she tell you that? And my sister's like,

(01:11:42):
but at the end of this long conversation about how
once I regaled her with tales of my childhood, She's.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Like, I feel so much better.

Speaker 8 (01:11:50):
I'm like good, good, Like, anytime you having a bad day,
hit me up, I'll give you more stories.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
Good may always got their own, you know issues aready
rewrites history?

Speaker 19 (01:12:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
Everybody.

Speaker 8 (01:12:01):
Yeah, But I'm like, but it's so it would be
so easily debunked by any of your siblings. I don't
know why that would even be a thing. So, no bombshells.
But I had a very very nice conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
With my sister. Were you super high at that point?
I was not? No, this was the night before.

Speaker 8 (01:12:16):
Oh okay, nope, just drinking Julapeno Margarita's at that point,
so good and having some tacos.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
But no, no big bombshells. Are they good?

Speaker 8 (01:12:24):
All your siblings still live in the Chicago Lakes. They
do yie and they always have. I'm the only one
who split the Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
On one hundred seven, call the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 9 (01:12:38):
You don't deserve anything, Get deserved to get smacked in
the station.

Speaker 7 (01:12:45):
Two seven eight one double oh seven or eighty one
double oh seven.

Speaker 8 (01:13:25):
Cavalier's Tonight in Indiana.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Hoping to stop the skin.

Speaker 8 (01:13:30):
I think they lost their last three lost to Boston
last night Atlanta ninety four. They were in Toronto on
Monday prior to Thanksgiving. So get another crack of the
Pacers tonight, who are not a good team, but anything
can happen any given Monday. Cabs Pacers tonight, seven o'clock,

(01:13:52):
six thirty pre game. Here on the buzzard and I'm
the IHEARTRADI an you can listen there as well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Gared Allen was out last night and that doesn't ever help.
Larry Nance was also out. All I see, So I
mean those things they're gonna be an issue. M Garland's
not playing tonight. Ironic.

Speaker 8 (01:14:13):
It is the holiday season. See what I did, Rob
Garland is a thing that Judy Garland. Of course, something
called about the Wizard of Oz or Wicked or something.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Hey Allen, Happy Monday.

Speaker 6 (01:14:30):
So over the holiday weekend, my daughter asked to go
see the new Wicked movie, which I did not see
the first one. So we watched the first one at home,
went and saw the second one, and to my surprise,
I did not realize that Jeff Goldbloom was cast as
the Wizard of Oz. Ever since watching that movie, all
I keep thinking about is what an incredible career that

(01:14:52):
guy has had Independence Day, Jurassic Park, and now this.
I think you've talked about him in the past, but
not sure if you've ever had him on the show.
But I just keep thinking about Jeff Goldbloom, of all people,
ended up in this massive box office hit, and just
an incredible career he's had.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Have a great week.

Speaker 8 (01:15:10):
I love Jeff Goldblum, He's been on the show a
couple of times over the years. Loved Jeff Goldblum. He's
from Pittsburgh, so that was always kind of my inn
with him, as I would start with that because a
lot of people crap on Pittsburgh, but if you talk
to somebody who's from there, all you have to do
to kind of lube them up a little bit is
tell them how much how much of an affinity you
have for Pittsburgh. No, I don't see I haven't seen

(01:15:34):
those Wicked movies either. He's in the trailer, so that
means you never even saw the trailer for it. But
it's I haven't said I saw the original stage production
of Wicked, like twenty years ago. A girlfriend at the
time wanted to go see it. It was much more entergy.
I'm not a huge live musical theater guy. It was

(01:15:55):
very entertaining. So when people talk about like, oh, what's
a you know, what's a show you've seen, I can
literally kind of one hand the ones I've seen and
I liked and wickeds on that list.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
It was good.

Speaker 8 (01:16:06):
But I'm not seeing these movies.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
Yeah, Wicked's great. I feel like they might have bitten
off more.

Speaker 8 (01:16:11):
They can chew though with doing this whole, like, oh,
let's split it into two parts six months apart. It
makes sense though it doesn't seem like it's working against them, no, because.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
I mean it's if you watched I mean, you saw
the play, it's broken into two parts, you know what
I mean, There's two amazingly different things. So I mean
it makes sense why they did it that way. I
like early.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:16:32):
He's also a lot of times when you end up
talking to Jeff Goldbloom sometimes what he's promoting as an
album because he's a very accomplished jazz pianist and he's
he's out there making albums. His band is some weird name,
like god, what is it? It's like Mildred oh, Jeff

(01:16:56):
Goldbloom and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra just be the gold
Blue Booms.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
They put out an album this past spring.

Speaker 8 (01:17:04):
It's called Still Blooming Jeff Goldbloom, and of course it's
got some of the girls on the album.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
This last album they did.

Speaker 8 (01:17:11):
It's got Ariana Grande and Cynthia Rivo and Scarlett Johansson's
on There maybe some connection there in the Jurassic Park
cinematic universe.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
I don't know. Did you watch the show The League.
I never got into The League. He played with the
one of the main character's dad, Okay, in one of
the seasons, and there's a scene about vinegar strokes. If
you're familiar with Rupert Ruxon on The League, and he

(01:17:41):
there's a there's a scene where they, you know, they say,
if you catch someone in the last moments before they
have the big oh, you can see into their soul
and they call that the vinegar strokes. And there's an
amazing scene with him in the vinegar Strokes scene. And
I I don't know that Jeff Goldbloom ever made me
laugh that hard and ever will be able to again

(01:18:02):
because of the face and the sounds that he makes
in that particular scene Wow. And he's with Sarah Silverman
in that scene and it is hysterical.

Speaker 8 (01:18:10):
I don't think that I've spoken him a couple of
times over the course of my career, but it's been
a long time. I literally think the last time I
talked to him, he was promoting a television show he
was doing. It was a network show. I think it
went away right away. People just didn't watch. It was
called Rains. Remember Rains?

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:18:29):
He did like a cop show where he's like a
detective who.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Like in visions.

Speaker 8 (01:18:37):
It was like house, but he was a cop. He
envisions how the victim died, and you know, and it
was stacked. It was him, and it was a bunch
of other actors and actresses you would know, and it
was entertaining enough, but nobody watched.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
It went away. I think that was the last time
I talked to Jeff Goldblum.

Speaker 8 (01:18:59):
Maybe by design, maybe he has done numerous uh press
junkets since then. Rob but sees my name and says, nope,
no thank you, no thank you. I'll tell you who
was in that show. It his though, Remember Madeline Stowe,
I do jesus, she popped up if you're watching that

(01:19:20):
Welcome to Dairy the Umpteenth Theater, Boy, they're really squeezing
every bit of juice out of that penny Wise fruit.
There's a show over on HBO that is like way
wackier than it needs to be. It's an IT show
called Welcome to Darry about these kids that discover penny
Wise or whatever. Madeline Stowe pops up in this thing
out of nowhere and she looks exactly the same. I'm like,

(01:19:43):
oh my god, that's Madeline Stowe's such a crush on
her back in the day send twelve Monkeys. Shouldn't that
movie Revenge with Kevin Costner h Last of the Mohicans,
Rob She made it terrible to watch The Last of
the Mohicans. They did a sequel, Remember they did the

(01:20:05):
sequel a second to the Last of the Mohicans.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Man, nobody watched it. Nobody cared about that. I didn't
watch Last of the Mohicans. You didn't with Daniel day Lewis.
I did not a lot of them. I did not. Yeah,
you know what, I am loving. I am loving Pluribus.
Are you out on that?

Speaker 8 (01:20:26):
No? I'm watching it, but there's not much happening, and
as much as I like ray Seahorn, I don't know
that I'm She's playing the exact same character that she
did in Better Call Saul, which makes her perfect for
this one.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
But I'm not something I'm not buying with her. See
I didn't watch Better Call Saul, so I don't have
that to compare it to. But I love her in
this role. I'm not sure that anybody could pull off
what she's doing.

Speaker 8 (01:20:52):
I think something is starting to happen with this show,
but so far, not much is happening at all. It's
Vince Gilligan, so it's in Albuquerque and a lot of locals.
The extras are really all locals. They had a cameo
from the actual mayor of Albuquerque.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
There's so much happening. It's all set up for what's
about to Like, you know, it's gonna be awesome when it.

Speaker 8 (01:21:12):
Happened, I hope, because we're five episodes in and not
much has happened.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
Six okay, oh no, no, no, you're right. The next
one is sick.

Speaker 8 (01:21:24):
I think that five yeah with a big gasp and
audible gasp, And I was.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):
So mad the way they ended this one. I don't
like when they do that.

Speaker 8 (01:21:34):
You don't like a cliffhanger. No, have some hanging off
the cliff release the season, have something in the chamber.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
You can't do that. I also am h Melissa and
I are watching A Man on the Inside. Do you
watch that? Do you watch that Ted dancing thing?

Speaker 5 (01:21:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
I bailed?

Speaker 8 (01:21:52):
Did you and I would watch Ted Danson? Read an encyclopedia.
See I love love that guy, but I bail them
that show?

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
I love it.

Speaker 8 (01:22:01):
Did you bail in the first season? Yeah, okay, it's good. Alan,
forget the prequel. That sequel was called Wait we found
One More Mohican. I mean that's a little it's a
little clunky for the lobby card, But okay, Alan, you
had to have watched ten speed. In Brown Shoe, I
did Goldbloom and Ben Veren. Imagine the guy. This is

(01:22:24):
in the seventies, after all, where Ben Vereen was the
much bigger star. Jeff Goldbloom was an unknown. Right, there's
a very talking about one season. I think that show
was literally probably canceled before they finished the whole season
when I was a kid. Imagine you're pitching a show
to a network executive. All right, so it's Ben Veren.
He's a real hoofer and in this Goldbloom kid who's

(01:22:47):
got something. He's got moxie and uh yeah ten Speed
in brown Shoe, which sounds like a move on Urban Dictionary.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
But I don't think that it is. I did not
watch that.

Speaker 8 (01:23:01):
Yeah, my girl and I tried ten Speed and brown
Shoe the other night and it was difficult. I didn't
even know where to go to buy a cum quat.

Speaker 10 (01:23:11):
There.

Speaker 8 (01:23:12):
I was lying on my back trying to make it work.
Vinegar Strokes, this is something that I can play. I mean, yeah,
they don't show anything. It's it's simulated. So oh that
the I see what he's doing. Yes, he is behind
Sarah Silverman in the bathroom. Yes, and they are engaging

(01:23:35):
in coitus. Yes, simulated coitus. Yes, and that is that
was the Thanksgiving episode. Yeah, so he's Ruckson's dad. And
then Sarah Silverman plays one of the siblings of one
of the other characters, gotcha, and they hook up and
then they see he's just a rank gold Blooms. Vinegar
Strokes and the faces it's so good. Yeah, the noise,

(01:23:59):
but I mean the fly and all Jurassic Park. He
was like the cool guy in Jurassic Park.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
The Fly was a great movie, was Christeen that in years.

Speaker 8 (01:24:09):
He did a movie that not a lot of people
saw back in the eighties called Mister Frost that I
liked a lot where it was, you know, they were
laying and I'm pretty thick, but he was like the
devil and you know, but a well dressed guy.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
I like that a lot. It was him kind of
playing against type.

Speaker 8 (01:24:23):
And then of course he was in that Invasion of
the Body Snatchers before anybody really knew who he was.
Donald Sutherland and poor Jeffy Goldblum, that impressionist comic does
a very good gold Bloom Who's that? I can't pollack
now he's a new, newer guy. Jeff Dunham. Does he

(01:24:46):
have a Jeff Goldbloom puppet? He's like, honesty, is he
doing as that is Jeff Goldblum.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
No, he's a newer kid. He always he's huge on
social media.

Speaker 8 (01:24:57):
Matt Friend, Yes, okay, yes, he does a great Goldbloom
talks to him as him.

Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
And that's the thing, like, because he has such a following,
he has access to all these guys.

Speaker 8 (01:25:06):
Jeff Goldbloom meets himself at the golden globes is what
this says. Okay, because your eyes I've never noticed, are
exactly my hazel.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
So we're halfway there already now. Whenever I see you,
I just feel like I like my old anty teacher.
Sandy Meisner used to say, maybe trouble war does make
energy rubbing off of each other. I have another dream,
my dog. Did you see it? You saw the movie?
That's like asking a cal porter if he's the top. Yes,

(01:25:37):
I saw the film.

Speaker 8 (01:25:38):
This guy look at him? How about that? He just
seems like the world's nicest dude.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
I know he's weird, but he's like the nicest guy
on the planet gold Bloom right, just seems so down
to earth.

Speaker 8 (01:25:48):
I've heard him a couple of times on a couple
of different occasions on Conan's podcast, and I'm crying. I'm
laughing so hard at that guy because he's just off
center enough, like organic lay off center bucker UBONDSI. Deep Cover,
by the way, one of the best movies of all time.
If you're gonna talk top five movies, deep Cover is

(01:26:09):
one of my tough five movies. When it was still
Lawrence Fishburn, maybe it might have been Larry Fishburn. He's
got like a Christopher walking thing to him, but not
as weird gold Bloom.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Hey, who is this? This is Bob Bob? My screen
says doab and I'm like yes, I'm like, hi, what's up?

Speaker 3 (01:26:34):
Job?

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
That's why I ask. I'm like, hey, I've got date
of birth on the line here Rob. It could be
Rob Bob dob job.

Speaker 8 (01:26:44):
You I can't spell Joe Bluth.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
Boy.

Speaker 8 (01:26:47):
When she says she can't spell Rob, she is right.
She misspelled Bob for crass. Alright, Hello Bob, Hey.

Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
Hello, he listen you were talking about ted.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Dance and a little vie a. How you listen to
him read an encyclopedia? Yeah, And I was wondering if
you've ever seen him do Gulliver's Travels. It was like
a three hour.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
Show he did, and he was awesome in that.

Speaker 8 (01:27:13):
I mean, I don't want a three hour Gulliver's Travels,
but he wants a twenty five hour show about country music?
What that waste of time with a tedd dancing? Dancing's
not even in that? Uh No, I haven't, Bob, but
I will. I'll put it on my watch.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
That's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
Yeah, yeah, yes, I just want to bring that up.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
It's Gulliver's travel.

Speaker 8 (01:27:37):
Thank you, Dob Rob Bob from cletu clutter downw Every
time he calls in, he'll have to tell Jess, Hey,
it's Doab from Parma Dab. Yeah, Allan, did you just
say deep Cover is a top five movie of all time?

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
You're goddamn right? I did? Or in the Code Wright? Really?
I don't think so.

Speaker 8 (01:27:59):
Oh, Larry Fisher Burne is an undercover cop infiltrating a
drug ring. And this is if you gold Bloom no, like, okay,
they're remaking it ninety one. Maybe it looks like it's
being remade. There's probably a oh really that's yeast.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
Cast is Orlando Bloom Nick Mohammed from uh what yeah, no, yes,
Bryce Howard Orlando Bloom is playing This is no I
I saw the ad for this.

Speaker 8 (01:28:28):
That is another movie with the same name. But that
one is a comedy. Okay, all right? That one actually
looks funny. They get a group of improv people to
pretend that they're criminals. Okay, yeah, no, no, no, not
that's that's a whole other thing. Deep Cover is probably
late eighties, early nineties with Jeff Goldbloom.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
Oh, the guy from Yeah, that's Nick Mohammed's the guy
from ted Lasso. Yes, okay, And he was just in
that other show The hell did I just watch? He
played the mayor. He was in Slow Horses, Slow Horses. Yeah, God,
that's good. Nineteen ninety two was Deep Cover. I'll have
to check that out. Yeah. An actor, are you to

(01:29:11):
say one of your favorite movies of all time?

Speaker 8 (01:29:13):
An actor named Bill Duke who was in Predator. He
was an actor in Predator. He's a very dark man.
He was also an accomplished director. I think he's dead now,
but yeah, he directed deep Cover Night Darn ninety two.
Dark like yo, Bill Duke is a black guy. But

(01:29:34):
he's very like But do you mean cosmetically dark or
are you saying like his stuff is very dark? Skin
is very dark? But he oh no, no, no, his
skin is very physically dark. But also he looked like
he had like his eyes were like mesmerizing. If you
go back and watch Predator, you know who I'm talking about,
Bill Duke. But he was a director after that, and

(01:29:55):
he did deep Cover. Love that movie, Love it Sinister.
Jeff Goldbloom is one of the best gold Blooms because
it's so against type.

Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
Hey Denise, yes, hello? Or is it Benie? No, It's okay,
Hi Denise? Or is it all right? What's up?

Speaker 7 (01:30:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
Nice to talk to you. I love your show, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:30:20):
I was just commenting on your ten speed in brown Shoe.

Speaker 17 (01:30:23):
I really never watched this show much, but my father,
when I was a teenager, we called him three speed
in tennis Shoe because he used to ride around on
his three speed and try and find where me and
my brother were smoking weed and having a good time.

Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
So I just it just brought good memories back.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
And I thought I would share.

Speaker 8 (01:30:45):
Wait, so you and your brother were out being doing
Shenanigans and being ne'er do wells, and your dad's what,
circumnavigating the neighborhood on a fixie trying to figure out
where his.

Speaker 17 (01:30:56):
Kids are or what exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
Wow, three speed.

Speaker 17 (01:31:00):
So it's so funny that you said that with the
ten steed brown Shoe. And I mean I just brought
it up at Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (01:31:07):
I thank god my father is still with me.

Speaker 17 (01:31:09):
He's eighty six, God bless him.

Speaker 3 (01:31:12):
And uh me and my brother were talking about that.
You know under the four you know.

Speaker 17 (01:31:16):
We are under a treehouse and he's under there with
his three speed and so the neighborhood gave him the
nickname of three Speed. Well we did with three speed
tennis shoe. And that's a true story, So you and I.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Believe every word of it.

Speaker 8 (01:31:29):
I think that it would be great for you guys
to try to revive that whole scenario and make your
eighty five year old father try to find you guys
on a bike while you're out smoking weed.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
Get on a bike, you get.

Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
Kids.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
He can smell the weed.

Speaker 8 (01:31:50):
He's like Hector Salamanca at the end of buttercall Saul exactly.

Speaker 17 (01:31:55):
I mean, he would come like we were all like
in a circle. My brother is like wearing this uh
swede jacket, cleaning on his pipe, and who shows up?

Speaker 7 (01:32:06):
But my dad?

Speaker 8 (01:32:09):
Now did he like, did he just want to know
where you guys were? Was he out to read you
guys the riot Act? Was he screaming and yelling you
about to find out what weird?

Speaker 17 (01:32:16):
He knew we were up to no good ganteen angels,
and he wanted to see what the heck we're doing
and keep us.

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
In line, right, I was changing those goddamn kids aro
in the neighborhood for years, couldn't never catch them that.

Speaker 8 (01:32:26):
Put It also doesn't sound like it worked, Denise. You
guys kept going out and hiding and he'd come out
to find.

Speaker 2 (01:32:32):
You pretty much.

Speaker 8 (01:32:34):
Where was your Where was your mother during all this Michigan?

Do you know where your chilgren are? Smoking pot and treehouses?

Speaker 5 (01:33:04):

(01:35:51):
is from She's Indian, She's wast born and raised in
New Delhi, and she and we were out drinking on
Friday night. She and just purely coincidentally, she and my
daughter were bonding over Bollywood movies because that's how she
grew up watching Travis listens in Pittsburgh. Todd is a

it's a family name though.

Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:37:11):
Uh yeah, nobody like plucks Anne out of the air anymore.

Speaker 7 (01:37:15):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
Yeah, that was my mom's middle name, Ann Jess the
Kate hann Es.

Speaker 7 (01:37:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:37:22):
Did you get called by both names when you're in trouble? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:37:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:37:24):
Were you like a kid getting in trouble a lot? No?

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
I don't think so. All right, now that was the
other set of twins.

Speaker 8 (01:37:30):
Well, okay, so if you missed this last week before
we left, Jess has three siblings. Each sibling has a twin, right,
I got that right. Yeah, two sets of female twins,
identical or fraternal.

Speaker 2 (01:37:44):
Fraternal? Oh, fraternal, not identical? Yeah, my twins. She's five eight,
I'm five.

Speaker 8 (01:37:48):
Okay, I think you said that, but I when people
say twins, I always think identical because fraternal twins. Let's
face it, Rob the lesser of the twins. I mean,
you want identical, right, or you probably don't. I don't
know how it'd be if I had an identical twin.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
I dated a.

Speaker 8 (01:38:07):
Girl when I first moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, who had
an identical twin. I've told the story before, or at
least versions of it, her identical twin, and I was
way into this girl right her identical twin was one
of the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
Human beings I've ever met in my life.

Speaker 8 (01:38:24):
And it was really hard to get my head around
it because the girl I was dating could not have
been sweeter. And I was like, wow, they, I mean literally,
even for identical twins, they looked exactly alike.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
That's so insane to me.

Speaker 8 (01:38:39):
And I was like, I don't want to get into
a situation where I'm like, you know, having hate bangs
Rob after a drunken night out.

Speaker 9 (01:38:49):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:38:50):
And I'm sure that her sister probably you know, figured
some things out right. They were both in college, probably
a difficult time. Maybe they were just discovering they were,
but I know they came from a wealthy family, and
that can always if you don't have your head on
a swivel, that can really kind of mess with you.
And I think that's what happened to her sister. But
identical twins boy, because any guy will get that in

(01:39:14):
his head. You're dating a twin, you go.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
Of course for one special it was like, come home.
It's all dumb, is it?

Speaker 18 (01:39:26):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:39:26):
Alan, Why did you kill Bill Duke? He's very much.

Speaker 8 (01:39:30):
I've thought for sure there was something about Bill Duke dying.

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
Sorry.

Speaker 8 (01:39:34):
Bill Duke is very much alive. He was also in
I mentioned Predator. He was in Commando, somebody said, although
I don't quite remember that. But he was also in
the movie Mandy from a few years ago with Nicholas Cage,
and I love that movie too. Bill Duke had a
scene with him. He's the guy that kind of was

(01:39:57):
holding on to that giant soul word for Nicholas Cage's character.
A wacky movie called Mandy and Bill Duke is in that.
It sounds like you had a good time with your
family over Thanksgiving. I hope you all had a good time.
It's a nice text, Rob, very nice. We get those

(01:40:18):
nice texts sure, we'll get a message where a guy
calls me an a hole because I had the temerity
to poke some fun at Ohio State and you weren't
even poking fun at all. He got there, he called
my he called me a faggot. He didn't like me
at all, and I can't stand that word.

Speaker 2 (01:40:38):
He went a hole once, then he went a second.

Speaker 5 (01:40:42):
You up.

Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
Yeah, in a very short period of time.

Speaker 8 (01:40:44):
By the way, you get thirty seconds on that iHeartRadio
app talkbag button there. They give you thirty seconds. You
got to pack a lot into this escalated quick. Really, dad,
he called piston.

Speaker 11 (01:40:55):
Just cos you are a miserable pieces.

Speaker 8 (01:41:01):
I'm a miserable piece of crap problem I am.

Speaker 2 (01:41:05):
I'm capting fun. How dare he? How it's a very
nice guy. I must be real joy to be around.

Speaker 8 (01:41:14):
Imagine that's all I know about you, right, Because he
followed up here and I wasn't gonna play his follow
up message, but he followed up with another message. And
he's one of these guys like, I don't listen to you.
I was just punching around and I heard you. I'm like,
that's even worse. I'll take that kind of abuse from
somebody who listens to the show because frankly, you've earned it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
Well obviously he listened. Well I know that. But it's
like the.

Speaker 8 (01:41:37):
People who jump at the chance to tell you they
don't listen. They listen every day. But because people who
don't listen, they're much more kind of laid back about.
They're like, yeah, I don't know, I just heard the thing,
and you know whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
The guy, even if he's hate listening, he's listening every
single day, so stop, by the way.

Speaker 8 (01:41:54):
I don't even know if that in this business, that's
what we tell ourselves. They hate you, but they every day.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:42:01):
You might not, but I would be much more willing
to take that from somebody who did listen every day,
because you're putting in the work. I know I'm putting
in the work. But you know, people think this is
a monologue.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
It's not.

Speaker 8 (01:42:14):
It's a dialogue. It's me and it's the audience talking back.
And if somebody who's a regular listener and they're like,
you suck, blah blah blah, I'll talk to you tomorrow,
you know, one of those, yeah, I'm much more You
get way more latitude of me for that because you've
put in your time. This ain't easy to consume. I

(01:42:34):
know that it ain't easy to put together, and it
ain't easy to consume. That's why we are in a
symbiotic relationship with each other, me and this audience, a
parasocial relationship. Rob, if you will, you know how they
were talking about. One of the dictionary websites announced that
parasocial was their word of the year a couple of

(01:42:56):
weeks ago. Yeah, the Oxford Dictionary named their word of
the year. It's a phrase rage bait. And I'm so
mad about this, Rob, you should be.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
Rage bait. They got it down to three, bio hack
and aura farming.

Speaker 8 (01:43:20):
Those were the other ones that they were considering, and
they opted for rage bait. Are you hip to aura farming?
This is just more slang, but you know where it's
gonna come from somewhere. It's aura farming. Is like you're
trying to give off a vibe that your aura is awesome.

(01:43:41):
Like I assume you're trying to come off as chill
or whatever. Remember many many years ago, I had a
friend who owned one of those I don't even like
a like a cult not in a cult bookstore, but
that was part of it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:00):
So if you believed in all that other worldly stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:44:03):
She owned a bookstore to cater to those people, and
there was one weekend where she had an aura photographer
come out and people paid good money to have their
aura photographed and whatever color showed up, follow me here,
whatever color showed up in your photograph.

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
This was, by their description, rob a special camera.

Speaker 8 (01:44:30):
Okay, because you might think to yourself, how are they
gonna get my aura with a regular camera. You're whipping
Alika out and you're gonna get my aura? Hell no,
She goes, oh no, no, no, it is a special
camera developed. You know how the Ghostbusters had to have
all those gadgets. Yep, well there's a special kind of

(01:44:52):
camera that was able to capture these things of an
otherworldly fashion, beyond our physical plane. And she goes, would
you please come out, like I had some name equity
in the market, and would you please come out? And
it be fun if you were there and she and
I were friends. I go, fine, I'll come out. I'll
have my aura photographed. And people were walking away happy. There.

(01:45:13):
Oh mine's red, mine's orange, mine's pink, And I was
joking that mine was going to be black. And mine
was black rob much like my future stepdad. And now
I go, oh, hey, you know, I go what does

(01:45:35):
that mean? And she was like, well, and read too
much into it. I'm not reading anything into it. I
don't believe in this. I want you to tell me
what it means in the context of what you guys do,
because I'm not going to jump to conclusions and assume
that just because something's black it means that it's bad
in that sense, you know what I mean, Like, oh,
you've got a dark it doesn't necessarily mean that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
She goes, yeah, yes, I.

Speaker 8 (01:46:01):
Go, all right, well cool, I'm glad I came. I'm
glad I came out here. Then then I have a
black aura. All right, well it's a good thing. I
don't believe in that then, and she'd say things like, well,
just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it's not true.
And I'm like, you're getting me with logic. That is correct,

(01:46:22):
but I still don't be there. You got me there,
but I still don't believe in it. She's like, well,
maybe you're just not Maybe you have you know, a
lot of negativity around you. I'm like, yes, have you
met me? Yeah, imagine if she met you. Now, well,
listen a co host of yours. Jesus, I'm an optimist

(01:46:44):
in cynic's clothing. What do you want from me? There's
no downside to be an an optimist doesn't mean it's
going to be reflected in your fake aura.

Speaker 2 (01:46:53):
Take that. Hey, Woodie, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (01:47:00):
Another?

Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
How your own brother? Good?

Speaker 7 (01:47:03):
You?

Speaker 18 (01:47:03):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
You were talking about your brother dating a girl from India?

Speaker 9 (01:47:08):
Could minutes agool?

Speaker 8 (01:47:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:47:09):
I was, yes, yeah, and I'm not I believe me.

Speaker 9 (01:47:13):
I'm not being facetious by he stretched the imagination. We
all know where York is in England, we all know
New York. I know where New Delhi is, But where
the hell is Delhi?

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Answer? Well, we'll do Delhi, India?

Speaker 9 (01:47:32):
Right, yeah, Okay, Well, where's the old Delhi? And I'm
not being a dick about it? Man, what's is there
an old Delhi?

Speaker 13 (01:47:40):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
I think it's all one area. I mean Delhi. I
think is the huge.

Speaker 8 (01:47:46):
Uh like like the overall name I think for that
area is called Delhi and then within it there are cities.

Speaker 2 (01:47:56):
So it's so there was an actual Delhi, then there's
a new Delhi. Obviously yes, I think that's my ownersty
I don't know, brother, that's I believe you it says.
I thought I had a little bit of a brain
in my head. But uh, you know, uh York and
New York.

Speaker 3 (01:48:11):
That's that's an easy tasy but well you know that
was but you know New.

Speaker 8 (01:48:15):
York was originally New Amsterdam.

Speaker 9 (01:48:18):
Well it was an Amsterdam prior to You might be uh.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
Interested to find out there's still in Amsterdam. I love
that place.

Speaker 8 (01:48:28):
York of course, New York of course named after York Pennsylvania.

Speaker 13 (01:48:33):
Oh that yeah, it's from I forgot. But no, I'm
asking you, brother, is there a deli or is it
just what is a new part of a real the
region that was there.

Speaker 8 (01:48:45):
I would have to look to confirm, but I'm almost
positive that yes it is. It encompasses a huge, huge area.
You know. I was reading about thank you whatddy, I've
got to move on here. I was reading about how
Tokyo was the world's largest city and it is not anymore,
and the size of cities around the world. We think

(01:49:06):
we have big cities here. Obviously, the biggest ones in
the United States are New York and LA and Chicago.
But around the world cities are like, the largest city
in the world now is Jakarta, which is the capital
of Indonesia. It is there are forty two million people
who live there now. In Tokyo, obviously you're on that

(01:49:28):
island there in Japan, but my ex wife lived there
for many years, there's nowhere to go except up, So
everybody lives on top of everyone else because you're in
a very confined space, whereas a lot of these other
places they can sprawl outward. But there's really nowhere to
go in Japan except up Jakarta, and so as they're
going we look like pikers. By the way, compared to

(01:49:48):
these global cities, they're like way down the road. Most
people in the world will live in cities. I could
be rural. And so all these other cities around the
world that are huge cities, like, we're not even I
don't even know if New York is on the list.

Speaker 2 (01:50:06):
So is Tokyo.

Speaker 8 (01:50:07):
Jakarta forty two million people. The city of Dhaka has
thirty three million people in it. That's a capital of Bangladesh.
So these cities are blowing up. Right, Half of the
people on the planet live in cities now, and they
say that's only going to go up. Nine of the

(01:50:28):
ten biggest cities on the planet are in Asia, the
only exception being Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt.
Twenty five million people. That's like two New York sites.
So you see these stories about these people that I mean,
you think it's nuts to butts when you travel in
New York. These are huge, huge cities. And so in

(01:50:49):
nineteen seventy five there were just eight mega cities. That's
what people, the cities that have at least ten million people.
Now there are thirty three. In fifty years, we've gone
from eight mega cities to thirty three, nineteen of which
are in Asia. The only two mega cities in the
US are on either coast New York and Ela.

Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
Imagine that.

Speaker 8 (01:51:11):
You're like, yeah, I live in Jakarta. It's me and
forty two million other people. Jesus Christ's insane. And then
of course Rob Cleveland, Ohio, where we don't have to
worry about being a megacity. We can just focus on
being us. We can focus on being us Rob, we

(01:51:32):
can focus on being the best goddamn city.

Speaker 2 (01:51:38):
In the Great Lakes region. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:51:40):

Speaker 2 (01:53:14):
Tonight, I'm the Buzzard.

Speaker 8 (01:53:15):
Also, they announce if you are like Alan, I don't
give a fat frog's ass about basketball.

Speaker 2 (01:53:20):
Fair enough.

Speaker 8 (01:53:21):
Maybe you're already looking forward to the Guardians season. They're
doing some cyber Oh it's not cyber Monday, it's cyber Week,
cyber Week sales for the twenty twenty sixth season. Of course,
Opening day for your Cleveland Guardians is on a Friday

(01:53:41):
next year, Friday, April the third. They're gonna be playing
the Cubs, and I will be rooting for the Cleveland Guardians.
PO will expect me to root for the Cubs. I'm
not a Cubs fan. Doesn't matter to me that they're
Chicago team. I'm a White Sox fan, and I suffer accordingly, Rob,
you sure do. Guardians announced today that the six packs

(01:54:02):
but well, I'm not going to rattle off chapter and
verse here, but you know they're doing cyber week deals.
Let's just leave it at that. So you can go
to their website. Limited tickets available for opening weekend against
the Chicago Cubs, but the home opener is going to

(01:54:23):
be on Friday, April the third, and I have to
think that we'll be out somewhere for the Guardian's home opener.
I guarantee will be out some see what we need
to figure out. And obviously, with only eleven live shows
remaining after today for twenty twenty five, we'll need to

(01:54:44):
put something together for twenty twenty six. That will be
Jess's coming out party here on the show. Yeah, that
we can put her in front of people and conversely
to have them in front of her like in real life. Yeah, really,

(01:55:05):
the best way to approach this audience is with them
in front of you, because when they're behind you, it
can get a little uh and get a little sticky.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
Want to be able to see it comingh come on.

Speaker 8 (01:55:17):
So yeah, after the first of the year. And of
course I have no concerns about this whatsoever. Jess is
a performer. There's nothing that's gonna throw her off. Of course,
this is a different kind of animal, but it'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
I'm down to clown.

Speaker 8 (01:55:34):
This is what I'm saying, down to clown, and yeah,
they'll figure that out.

Speaker 7 (01:55:42):
So we are.

Speaker 8 (01:55:42):
Our last live show this year is the sixteenth of
this month, which coincides with my rob sixteenth anniversary at
WMMS sixteen sixteen, everybody sixteen years of not getting fired,
and then we will return. And I believe the fifth
of January Monday, January five, twenty twenty six. And you know,

(01:56:07):
there used to be I think, at least anecdotally for me,
but there used to be kind of this collective thought
as you got towards the end of the year, Hey,
whatever happened this year is in the rear view mirror.
Next year is gonna be better. I think that all
went away with COVID. I think every year is quantifiably

(01:56:27):
every subsequent subsequent year now quantifiably you can plan on
it being worse. Yeah, even when you don't think it
can be worse, it finds new ways of being worse relative.
And so if you go into it with that, you go, well,
and I'm gonna kind of surf that way with baby,

(01:56:47):
and I'm gonna figure out how to make it my own.
I'm not somebody who makes resolutions. I don't make New
Year's resolutions.

Speaker 2 (01:56:54):
A lot of people do.

Speaker 8 (01:56:57):
I'm you know, obviously, the cliche is that everybody you know, oh,
I made a resolution and I lasted ten days. Well
that's better than somebody like me. I don't make them
at all. So ten days is more than my zero.
Some people really hang on to him. Jess, you a
resolution person. No, I'm go with the flow.

Speaker 2 (01:57:15):
Good for you. See she goes to the flow rub,
she's down to clown, down to clown. Listen.

Speaker 8 (01:57:21):
There isn't a person on this planet who will tell you,
on the one hand that they are an obsessive planner
and on the other hand, tell you that their favorite
movie is Paul Blart. Mall come, what a movie? Things
don't coencide? Yes, I'm a type a personality, but my
favorite movie is also Paul Blurt mallco.

Speaker 2 (01:57:42):
So in the spirit of that, I watched Playdate, the
movie John John No, uh, it was no.

Speaker 8 (01:57:51):
It wasn't just thought it was John Cena and Kevin James.

Speaker 2 (01:57:54):
It was him and no the dude that plays Reacher. Oh,
Alan Richson, Allen Richson. It was the worst goddamn movie
I have ever seen in my entire life. Yeah, but
I watched it. I watched it all the way through.
Melissa and I started it and I'm like, you know,
let's we'll finish it. There's this they keep there's another series.

Speaker 8 (01:58:13):
I don't know if it's a serious but they've made
a couple called what's the one with Mark Wahlberg where he.

Speaker 2 (01:58:19):
Was a hit man but now he has a family.
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:58:22):
It's called like the the Family Plan or something they
may won a couple of years ago. The stakes are
lower when they just throw them on Amazon Prime or whatever.
They don't have to worry about making money in the theater.
They might get like a little theatrical window. But I
don't think so. I think this playdate went right to
Amazon because that's what showed. That's what shows reaches awful
was so bad. But that I mean, if you go

(01:58:44):
back to that's always been kind of a trope, right,
is like the hit Man who fish out of water.
You know he's around kids. You had the Tooth Fairy
with the Rock. You go back to Suburban Commando with
the late Hulk Hogan, remember that.

Speaker 2 (01:58:59):
They had these movies.

Speaker 8 (01:59:00):
Were a giant man as played kindergarten cop to a
lesser degree, much more successful degree. But when I was
clicking around, I mean, playdates been out for a minute,
I think. But when I was clicking around and I
was like, that looks terrible, that was awful, but I
don't I can't assume. I mean, I think Alan Richson
is in a weird place right now because he's getting

(01:59:23):
all these things thrown at him. He's great on that
Reacher show, but if you see him. He was also
in god, what was the movie. It was him and
Henry Cavell.

Speaker 2 (01:59:35):
It was like a.

Speaker 8 (01:59:37):
Nineteen forties like spy thing or something that they made.
It's called The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare a couple of
years old. I didn't hate it, but I'm sure he's
got a lot of things getting thrown at him. He
as a younger man, he was in the Hunger Games movies,

(01:59:58):
but then he started doing Juicing and ended up on
this Reacher show. And so he's got a lot of
movies coming out, and I hope that they're good. They're not, well,
I don't know. I haven't seen Playdate.

Speaker 2 (02:00:11):
You know it's not trust me, you don't have to
see it. It's it's freaking terrible. But again, I kind
of knew what I was getting myself into, but I
kind of thought, like, Okay, it'll have a point.

Speaker 7 (02:00:24):
It was just it was.

Speaker 8 (02:00:27):
Jarringly bad, even for what I thought going into it.
But isn't it also for families to sit and watch Yes, yeah,
without question, except I only watched it with Melissa. Yeah,
and you made it all the way through. I made
it through about a half an hour and I stopped it,
and I'm like, I can't do this. The premise is

(02:00:48):
Kevin James is a recently unemployed accountant, Yeah, and father
who sets up a play date with a stay at
home dad.

Speaker 2 (02:00:55):
Except that's not at all what happens, and.

Speaker 8 (02:00:57):
Then the two of them are targeted by mercenaries when
the big guy reveals that he and his quote unquote
son are on the run from the military. Yes, basically
all of it happens in a day, and it's not
even a playdate, like the fact that there would like
to make plans for a play It doesn't.

Speaker 2 (02:01:17):
It's not like that. It all happens in like the
opening scene, like everything like that is going to happen
for the rest of the movie happens, and he's like, what,
oh okay, so that guy. Oh no, no, no, no,
I guess that's not what's going to happen here.

Speaker 8 (02:01:31):
You know how they get me though with these movies
when I watch them and I have no intention of
watching this are the are the cast.

Speaker 2 (02:01:38):
They put so many good people in these games. Watch them.

Speaker 8 (02:01:41):
I'm looking at this little Sarah Chalk, awesome, Alan Tutic, dynamite,
Stephen Root, awesome, Isle of Fisher.

Speaker 2 (02:01:46):
I'm like, I would watch that Tutic, isn't it? For
about two seconds? Okay?

Speaker 8 (02:01:51):
Well, black guy's a Swiss army knife. I mean he
could do anything, absolutely, and again he's there. That's the paycheck, right,
Like that was like, okay, sure, I'll take that. But
the dude from Reacher, he plays Reacher. But like in
a comedy, that's what I mean. Like, it's a very
odd move. But again, when you're when you're a giant
man like that, they're not going to cast you in

(02:02:13):
like Remains.

Speaker 2 (02:02:14):
Of the Day.

Speaker 8 (02:02:15):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:02:15):
I wasn't expecting it to be like, oh this is
going to go on my top ten favorite comedies of
all time. But I thought it would have something, you know,
like you put it together, you make something, you think
it would be Okay.

Speaker 7 (02:02:26):
Well.

Speaker 8 (02:02:27):
The thing that always amazes me is when you watch
these and you go, Jesus Christ, there were a room
of people who wrote this professional writers. Now, Rob, you
know you and I write this show every day page
down to Yeah, thirty seven. I think this is how
good Rob is.

Speaker 9 (02:02:43):
Right.

Speaker 8 (02:02:44):
We going to be in the middle of a conversation,
which to the untrained ear seems completely stemporaneous, and he'll
go page thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (02:02:52):
I go, oh, my god, because I had to check.
I go, He's right. See he was always off book.
I'm not. I'm over here reading. Yeah, I have to go.
I have to follow a long word for words, because
if we get lost, it's over. You can't see it
on camera, and that's by design.

Speaker 8 (02:03:06):
But I have my script in front of me, the
entire show, and so if you ever see me reaching forward,
that's for me to go to the next page.

Speaker 2 (02:03:13):
And Alan's still a pencil and paper guy. I have
a teleprompter, uh on the screen to my right.

Speaker 8 (02:03:19):
I like my yellow legal pads. What kind of school
they're comforting to me?

Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
I just follow along with the teleprompter. Crap, what are
we on? What page? I just thirty seven? Well we
were on thirty seven?

Speaker 5 (02:03:30):
Are we?

Speaker 2 (02:03:31):
I'm still on page fifteen?

Speaker 8 (02:03:33):
Just just keep up, God almighty, you know what you
think in week two, day three, you'd get this. She's
not even in the script yet. My god, I had
two lines all day. She got you jumped ahead, I

(02:04:00):
mean down to clown was on page fifty one.

Speaker 2 (02:04:02):
Rocks just jumping ahead.

Speaker 14 (02:04:05):
I'm just like closing my eyes and putting my finger
on something and just reading it aloud.

Speaker 2 (02:04:09):
It doesn't work like that. It sounds like my prom
night Hey show on social media.

Speaker 8 (02:04:16):
Wherever you consume amazing social media content, I'll.

Speaker 2 (02:04:22):
Be somewhere else.

Speaker 8 (02:04:24):
Oh God, did you see the Thanksgiving table that crashed
as the girl was giving the speech?

Speaker 7 (02:04:29):
No?

Speaker 8 (02:04:30):
I love this just as a psychopath, but I feel
terrible for the girl. This is a twelve year old girl. Obviously,
she went crazy viral when she posted the video. It
was a devastating moment, and none of us knew how
to react. A family's large Thanksgiving spread, the big long table,

(02:04:51):
nothing but food, so everybody's gonna sidle up. An aunt
in this family spent weeks preparing the food, huge Thanksgiving meal.
This is in New Jersey, the Hovenanian family. What that
is Armenian?

Speaker 2 (02:05:07):
Maybe? Red Bank, New Jersey.

Speaker 8 (02:05:10):
One hundred and fifty family members were gathered together for
the holiday, and one of the cousins, the twelve year
old girl, is standing in front of the table and
she's reading some kind of speech or here's what we're
thankful for.

Speaker 2 (02:05:25):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 8 (02:05:27):
The ant hosts Thanksgiving every year and planning and preparing
for weeks. As soon as they go wrapped up for speech,
the entire table collapsed and all the food went down
with it. And I'm gonna show it to you.

Speaker 2 (02:05:40):
I mean, I love it. Oh I hate to say
I love it, but I already love it.

Speaker 8 (02:05:44):
Because now everybody's going over this like the Zapruder film, right,
They're like, how did this happen?

Speaker 2 (02:05:48):
Was there? Look at that little kid. I think he's leaning.

Speaker 8 (02:05:52):
There's obviously if you're not watching the live stream, you
can find it yourself. But up and giving the speech, bravo.

Speaker 2 (02:06:02):
And then the food crashing down on the floor. I'm
still eating it. Say that again. Congratulations.

Speaker 8 (02:06:13):
Oh we've got so much for which to give thanks.

Speaker 2 (02:06:16):
And all of the food on the floor. That girl
looks older than twelve, by the way.

Speaker 8 (02:06:24):
Uh yeah, you know the good news though, everything as
the table goes, everything sort of slides forward, and then
when the table hits it just sort of slides back.

Speaker 2 (02:06:35):
A lot of those trays stayed full, you know, what
I mean, like, I'm.

Speaker 8 (02:06:38):
Still eating listen, and there was a Those are the
decisions you're forced to make in that situation.

Speaker 2 (02:06:42):
And there's a tablecloth there, so it's not like it
hit the floor. Most of the food that did fall
fell onto the table. I would eat in all of it.

Speaker 8 (02:06:49):
Now, I want to see the video of the immediate
aftermath of this with all of the old ladies cursing, screaming.
So were like, oh, I think there was a kid
that leaned or oh uh, but the lady said the
table was just too old. It just genuinely broke. It's

(02:07:10):
an old antique table that my aunt has had for
a while. The family had front loaded the table too
much and the weight distribution was off. So not only
did they lose their food on Thanksgiving, they had an
antique table get broken.

Speaker 2 (02:07:27):
I'm sure they don't care about the table. Now.

Speaker 8 (02:07:28):
Do you walk away from that and say Thanksgiving is
a lie? I renounce my belief in goodness in the afterlife,
whatever these people believe in.

Speaker 2 (02:07:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:07:42):
Do you go and brush the carpet fibers off of
the turkey and ham?

Speaker 2 (02:07:49):
Yeah you do. Did you ever have anything like that
happen like a holiday mess like that.

Speaker 8 (02:07:57):
No, although I will say this, when I was a kid,
I remember a kid in my school, you know, you
come back and he talks about Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (02:08:08):
A kid in my school was at his grandmother's house.

Speaker 8 (02:08:13):
And they had a couple of turkeys or something Thanksgiving,
and everybody was and so somebody went into the freezer
to get the turkey. It was a big turkey, get
twenty pound turkey. And they get it out of the freezer.
They're in the kitchen and they pivot to take it
where they're gonna take it, and obviously it was all

(02:08:36):
frosty and kind of slippery, and whoever was carrying it
over to the stove over the oven accidentally dropped it on.

Speaker 2 (02:08:48):
The family's chihuahua dog. Was that the end of the dog?

Speaker 7 (02:08:53):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (02:08:54):
It was killed instantly, Yes, it was. And my mom
has chihuahuas and so you know she has them. Now
we didn't have them.

Speaker 2 (02:09:01):
Oh, I was a kid.

Speaker 8 (02:09:02):
But my friend mentioning that on the way back that
the the turkey had fallen on the family's chihuahua.

Speaker 7 (02:09:09):
And uh.

Speaker 8 (02:09:12):
And of course Thanksgiving Day dinner was was canceled because
nobody was in the.

Speaker 2 (02:09:18):
The who's in the mood to eat today. We give
thanks for Sparky no longer with us. Yeah, good dog.
We thank him for all of his service. My mom
dropped one right out of the oven. Your mom dropped
a turkey out of the oven. Out of the oven,
and she was running late, like everybody was there, so
both sets of grandparents were there. I'll never forget this.

Speaker 8 (02:09:39):
I was probably she's getting ready to take it out,
carbet servant.

Speaker 2 (02:09:42):
Yeah, it's it's and she's and she's running behind. So
everyone has already had their fill of olives and cheese
and crackers right like they're like, okay, come on, order
it the turkey come up, and uh yeah, I'll never
forget it. Our our our kitchen went right up into
like a little eaten kitchen area, and it was a
long hallway to the bedrooms. It was just an old
ranch stot the house. And my grandfather and my or

(02:10:06):
my two grandfathers were standing there talking to each other,
and my mother opened up the door of the oven
and she went to pull the thing back, and the
rack tipped and the whole thing went and my mother
went to like put her hand up and she stopped
the tray no, she stopped the tray, but the turkey
shot off of it and slid across the floor. He

(02:10:27):
had hired, and everybody standing in the kitchen was just like, yeah,
so then we and just watch pass like Gretzky at
the goal, just straight across the room and banged into
the wall on the other side. Yeah, but then you
just don't eat the bottom, you carve off the top, right.

Speaker 8 (02:10:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
I don't remember what she salvage. I'm sure she Yeah.
I don't remember what exactly happened, but I you know what,
the dog. There might have been something with the dog.
The dog might have gotten involved and taken a bite.
And then we only had like one side of the
turkey t I don't remember we had golden retrievers. I
don't remember exactly what happened after that, but I remember
watching the turkey slide across the floor and my grandfather's again,

(02:11:03):
one of them, you know, Pennsylvania Polish, the other one
one hundred percent Italian, and they both were just standing
there and uh, my grandfather, son of a bitch. I
don't remember what we did with the turkey, but I
just remember I distinctly remember their reactions to watching a
turkey slide across.

Speaker 8 (02:11:22):
That's the only Uh, that's the only reaction, son of
a bitch.

Speaker 2 (02:11:30):
Turkey.

Speaker 20 (02:11:32):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:11:32):
No, I never had anything like that. Don't recall anything
like that. You didn't cook, right, Jess, No, not this year.

Speaker 8 (02:11:41):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:11:41):
I was supposed to make a cheese ball and then
I forgot.

Speaker 8 (02:11:43):
The cheese ball and you forgot to make the cheese ball. No,
I had it made, forgot I forgot it. Yeah, is
that like the ones like the little cheddar ball covered nuts?
Is that the Yeah, it's like, yeah, cream cheese. Used
to get it from the Swiss colony robe.

Speaker 2 (02:12:00):
Oh see.

Speaker 8 (02:12:02):
We were on our way out of town and I
was at the Amherst Oberlin exit and my wife goes,
I forgot the pies.

Speaker 2 (02:12:12):
And I was like, okay, how far is that from
your house? Half an hour? Did you go back?

Speaker 8 (02:12:17):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:12:17):
Yeah, that pad. Oh it's not terrible.

Speaker 8 (02:12:19):
I mean, if I'd been further on, I would have
said screw it. But these are like thirty dollars pies.
Because I'm like, in my brain, I go, well, we're
not coming back and eating two pies, right, So if
they sit there, I always ask my mom what can
we bring?

Speaker 2 (02:12:33):
Nothing? Nothing?

Speaker 8 (02:12:34):
I always bring something because everybody loves it. So this
heavy duty caramel apple pie from like this like Big
Time Bakery or something.

Speaker 7 (02:12:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:12:43):
These weren't cheap. It's caramel apple pie. And then like
this chocolate pecan or something because I know my mom's
just making pumpkin and that's great, but I'm like, we'll
have these. I don't only chewing up anywhere empty hand it.
But yeah, we're like a half an hour hour. You
got a six hour run ahead of you. Yeah, so
you add an hour to your trip.

Speaker 2 (02:12:59):
Oh yeah yeah. Oh.

Speaker 8 (02:13:00):
I'm like, no, it was nobody's fault. I didn't see
it either. I do remember it. It's nobody's fault. But
I was like, for a half a second ago, nope,
but there was like other stuff in the box.

Speaker 2 (02:13:12):
I was like, okay, I would have hit the next exit. No, no, no,
I know, yep.

Speaker 8 (02:13:18):
But even that I'm with him, I agree, but it's
that's a tough call, man, I know, but that that
that almost never happens. And I was like, god, damn,
you know, because I'm like the guy like packing the vehicle.

Speaker 2 (02:13:30):
Yeah, and so I was like, damn it. The Ellen
Carr Show on one I can't seen some little unfair
that you can watch our live stream but we can't
see you. But we'll fix that tonight outside your window.

(02:13:54):
Show one doumms.

Speaker 8 (02:14:09):
Rob's grandpa reminds me of Frank Baron very much.

Speaker 2 (02:14:14):
So they did.

Speaker 8 (02:14:17):
And everybody loves Raymond Reunion thing or something on CBS,
and I'm like, everybody's dead from that show. We probably
mentioned it in passing before we left, but it was
like they're running promos for it now. I didn't see it.
Some people were telling me it's good, but I think
there was. I think part of the reveal is like
the kids were part of it, but they're all grown
up in Gangly now, so it's like all the principles

(02:14:39):
are still alive obviously Ray Romano and Patty Heaton, the
Pride of Bay Village, Ohio, and Brad Garrett, but all
the parents are dead. And it's probably Phil Rosenthal who
produced and wrote the thing with Ray Romano, my good
friend Phil Rosenthal.

Speaker 7 (02:15:01):
Rob.

Speaker 2 (02:15:02):
I hosted a thing with him at Playhouse Square last year.
Oh that's right. I was wondering why I knew.

Speaker 8 (02:15:06):
That couldn't have been nicer. He'll still leave comments on
my Instagram from time to time. Very nice guy. Ell
and I eat food off the floor all the time.
Before the break, we were talking about, well, there was
that family in Red Bank, New Jersey. Showed you the
video and the live stream of the entire length of
the Thanksgiving table with all the food set up. A
facetyle comes crashing down, and then Rob talked about and

(02:15:29):
why I talked about the my friend's family when I
was a kid, dropped the turkey on the chihuahua and
then Rob his mom the turkey slid across the room,
eat food up.

Speaker 2 (02:15:41):
Eating food off the floor.

Speaker 8 (02:15:43):
I think of it like, oh, I dropped my sandwich, yep,
five second rule, I'll pick it up. That's different than
the Thanksgiving turkey sliding across the linoleum. He dusted off
your hand like you're playing shuffle board. That's exactly what
it was like. Yeah, a lot of people. I'm sure
she gets it all the time. We've mentioned it before.

(02:16:06):
People are hearing Jess as Miley Cyrus, never in my life,
always in your life. Why I hesitate to mention it,
But unlike Miley Cyrus, Jess, Rob.

Speaker 2 (02:16:19):
Memory serves down to clown. Yeah, yeah, good.

Speaker 8 (02:16:24):
Allan I'd have picked up that turkey, licked all of
the licked all of the floor detritus, gross off the
bottom and everybody could still enjoy it. Yes, please play
floor Detritus on two Hours to Midnight.

Speaker 2 (02:16:39):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (02:16:42):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (02:16:42):
We are back, by the way, on Saturday night. We
have a metal show called two Hours to Midnight. We
were off for the holiday this past weekend. Obviously we
will be back this Saturday and next Saturday, and then
that'll be it for twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (02:16:56):
Rob, we'll be taking off.

Speaker 8 (02:16:58):
But you know, heavy metal never takes a break, but
we will be taking a short break from bringing it
to people. But every week it's me and it's Corey
Rotick and it's Pat Butler. We put our heads together
and we do one hundred and twenty minutes of metal,
a lot of brand new stuff, a lot of local music.

Speaker 2 (02:17:18):
Every week.

Speaker 8 (02:17:19):
More excited than the last to bring this show to you, Rob,
I play some throwbacks. I got some melvins lined up
for you for this Saturday night. You found what the
perfect Corey Rotic gift. I will show you a picture
of it later. I purchased it is sitting on my
coffee table at home, I cannot wait to give. I'm

(02:17:40):
gonna leave it for him for this week's show. It's
I'm so, I'm gonna actually pull it up right now
so I can show you and get your reaction.

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
I mean, I do a show with these guys and
I don't have gifts. I don't either, I never buy.
This just came across my Instagram and a friend of
mine had one, and I said, you know what, this
is not negotiable everything. Corey gotcha. Well, he contains multitudes.

(02:18:09):
Where do you see this? I can already guess what
it would be. What do you think? Yeah? In his band? Yeah?
Well is it like Motley Cruisy. It's not. That would
be too on the nose. I was gonna say, well,
mine would be on the nose too.

Speaker 10 (02:18:24):
Is it a.

Speaker 8 (02:18:26):
Monkey's dildo? It is not the monkey's dildo? Hey, hey,
here the we're the monkeys. People say we monkey around.
We're too busy singing. Now grab your ankles?

Speaker 2 (02:18:38):
No you ready? Oh you're gonna tell us show us. Yeah,
I'm gonna make sure it doesn't end up on the
live streams. I know he listens. Ah love it is
that not?

Speaker 8 (02:18:50):
I mean, come on, perfect right, you really can find anything,
and the most arcane, esoteric crap online is constantly fed
to you.

Speaker 2 (02:19:02):
It is the second. I mean, if you combo the
things that he posts the most and like always is
Jones about that combines two of those things.

Speaker 8 (02:19:12):
It's like you, it was fed to you. That's what
I'm saying. You know, as much as my money. Hey,
I was talking to some of this the other day.
As much as people complain about the implications of algorithms
knowing you as well as they do, there is some
convenience to that. And obviously we are Americans. We value

(02:19:33):
convenience above all else. We value convenience above liberty, above citizenship. Yeah,
none of that stuff bo civic duty. I just the
algorithm will feed you things. I mean my Instagram is
nothing but Chicago stuff because I was at home. So

(02:19:54):
I'm like, clearly it's GEO tagged me, and now it's
feeding me all that, or it's feeding me other things
that I've looked, you know, because you know I always
tell people like you do well. It used to be
I would say, you know, people complain about how angry
social media was or whatever. I would say, I don't
see that stuff because you you curate your own experience,

(02:20:19):
but now it feeds you so many things that you
wouldn't have otherwise seen that it isn't really all in
your control. You know.

Speaker 2 (02:20:28):
What I've been getting constantly is, uh, do you ever
see the plane account? The account that this dude finds
aircraft and then zooms in on and takes a picture
of it.

Speaker 8 (02:20:40):
I don't think so it's aerospot or two one six
is the guy and oh this a local guy.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
It's a local guy, okay. And he's like, oh, there's
this flight of a seven seventy seven coming in from
San Francisco. I'll go take a picture of it. He
finds it.

Speaker 8 (02:20:54):
Plane spotting over the skies of Cleveland, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (02:20:57):
It's not it's crazy.

Speaker 8 (02:20:58):
And he's like, oh, this is a chartered flights mostly
coming in from Dubai, and it takes a picture of
the place. It's just so this is for aviation nerds
and knowing, which I'm really not, but I am fascinated
by this.

Speaker 2 (02:21:09):
So I followed like I've been getting a ton of
that stuff and couches. I started talking about buying a couch.

Speaker 8 (02:21:14):
You follow jd Vance Alan Cox show on social media.

Speaker 2 (02:21:20):
That's the one of one of miles. Uh taint Smasher's best.

Speaker 8 (02:21:24):
Uh. He did one of JD vans back in the
day with couch humping was the premise, except that wasn't
the word, but it was.

Speaker 2 (02:21:32):
It was great.

Speaker 8 (02:21:35):
I follow an account called trains hitting things.

Speaker 2 (02:21:37):
Have you ever seen that?

Speaker 8 (02:21:38):
No, just trains running into things? Oh, is a car
stuck on the track? Here comes a train trains?

Speaker 2 (02:21:45):
Yeah, okay, that's also.

Speaker 8 (02:21:47):
Probably not the only one of its kind, but I
think that's the one that I follow.

Speaker 2 (02:21:51):
You are I can see it? Followed by Alan Kox
shows are you that's man?

Speaker 7 (02:21:56):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:21:56):
I'm following it.

Speaker 10 (02:21:58):
I was.

Speaker 8 (02:22:00):
I've been getting these non stop weather reports about this
terrible snow that's coming through tonight. I assume that's the
band of storms that we left when we left Chicago,
because all day Saturday they were getting like an inch
of snow an hour, and so that initial while we
were gone, we were getting hammered here in northeast Ohio.
And I think that second wave is coming through overnight tonight,

(02:22:21):
and tomorrow is gonna be messy. I'm still waiting for
my car to get fixed, so I'm driving a rental.
I was driving because I didn't care. When I was
just driving to and from work. I was driving a
Corolla Toyota Corolla. On our way out of town, I go,
I need a bigger car. They gave me a Dodge Durango.
Oh boy, this is a pretty rad ride. Man. This

(02:22:42):
is hashtag not an ad, although I'm sure Claven sells them. However,
this isn't a vehicle that was even on my radar.
I had never given a half a thought to a
Dodge Durango, but.

Speaker 2 (02:22:59):
This is this is nice. So are you starting to
think SUV now?

Speaker 4 (02:23:04):
Well?

Speaker 8 (02:23:04):
See, that's the thing is it doesn't feel like you're
driving a tank. Yeah, but I don't need three rows.
Sure you know what I mean. So for the purposes
of this trip, dynamite super car, I mean a great ride.
So then I'm talking to my brother because my brother
drives a Yukon. Like you know, he's got two grown
boys who are he doesn't need this, but he loves

(02:23:25):
driving these tanks.

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
I'm like, I don't need that. I like a sedan.
Sure this car anyway. Then I find out my sister
and I goes, oh that's what I drive.

Speaker 8 (02:23:34):
I go really, she goes, yeah, I'll never not drive
that car, She goes, I love my Durango. I'm like,
I never even thought of this car before, never even
crossed my mind.

Speaker 2 (02:23:46):
They build them.

Speaker 8 (02:23:46):
I didn't even know they were still making them, and
I'm like this when it comes time for me to
finally Garrett, I'm it's on the radar now.

Speaker 2 (02:23:56):
They build them on the same chassis as the Grand Cherokee,
and I drove Grand Chairy Keys for ever. Okay all
we had them for years and years and years and years.
I'd trade out of one into another one. Yeah. I
love them.

Speaker 8 (02:24:07):
I mean they're just this side of too big. I
don't need anything that big, but it does it. Like
I said, it doesn't feel like you're driving a tank.

Speaker 2 (02:24:14):
Probably option, right, I bet they do.

Speaker 8 (02:24:18):
Maybe. I mean we never popped the third row up
because there's bags and stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:24:21):
But no, it's great. Yeah. I rented a big car
for going back home for Christmas. We rented a suburban.

Speaker 8 (02:24:29):
See that's huge too. Yeah yeah, yeah, no I didn't
need that, but they were like, oh DoD Rango great again.
Knew nothing about it.

Speaker 2 (02:24:35):
Got in. I was like, this is legit just so
crazy price that you look at those huge SUVs and
what they cost. Now it's the same, you know, the
same cost as those pickups. Oh there was a yeah,
there was a thing this morning. They're like even small
cars are like fifty grand. Like people are starting to
you know, the Trump tariffs. People are like, yeah, this sucks.
Even if people are like them, they're like, this guy

(02:24:57):
doesn't know what he's doing. That's why I'm still I'm
still amaze at the cost what I paid for my Jetta.
Do those cars again, You're not I drive a manual
Volkswagon Jetta, right, I mean, there's nothing frilly about it.
It's a sport. But I paid like twenty four grand
for that car. It's fun to drive. It gets through everything.

(02:25:17):
I mean, and that's like the cheapest car you can find.

Speaker 10 (02:25:19):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:25:20):
It's crazy. Ellena Durango, what is it? Nineteen? This is
what I'm saying. I'm like, I didn't even know they
made these anymore. They still nice.

Speaker 8 (02:25:30):
There's a twenty twenty six Durangle, like they make them.
It was just never on my radar. But that's exactly
what I thought when my sister in law was like, oh,
I drive one. She's probably driven it, you know, for
fifteen twenty years. She goes, I love it.

Speaker 2 (02:25:45):
You should get the hell Cat.

Speaker 8 (02:25:47):
Yeah, but then I look then I look like a
midlife crisis guy. Isn't that what Squire has?

Speaker 2 (02:25:54):
Well? No, I mean he has the Hellcat is just
the motor that goes in the Durrango. It's the SRT.
It's an addition me or something.

Speaker 8 (02:26:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:26:01):
I thought you might like the two door, the two door,
the Challenger. Yeah, Rger. Squire's got one of those and
it's rad. So yeah, you can get a hell Cat
in that. This is just it's it's a it's an addition. Oh,
I barely started like one hundred grand I was gonna say,
it's like an eighty thousand dollars car. I absolutely do
not need that. No, I know, don't need that at all.

(02:26:24):
That's why I drive Sedan's. But there are fewer and
fewer of those being made because everybody sells jeeps and
trucks and you know, things like that.

Speaker 8 (02:26:31):
So I understand the economics of it. But any it
was a great ride. I mean for the purposes of
making that trip, it was fantastic. I was it on
gas guzzles? Yeah yeah, but still what it cost me
like sixty bucks to.

Speaker 2 (02:26:44):
Fill it up. But it's fine.

Speaker 8 (02:26:46):
Whatever, that's fine. I know that going in no matter
what I'm driving, I'm like, it's gonna is it like
six hours?

Speaker 2 (02:26:50):
Is that how long it takes.

Speaker 8 (02:26:51):
Yeah to get to my Yeah, because I wasn't. I
thought it was gonna be a lot longer because I'm like,
we're gonna hit weather. But there's this wind, and I
think maybe you know, because everybody goes, oh, Wednesday, the
day before Thanksgiving is the worst. But I feel like
we threaded the needle. I mean, obviously, once we hit
the city, it was like a parking lot.

Speaker 19 (02:27:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:27:11):
I texted you at one point you were in you
were in it deep. Oh yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:27:15):
Once we got to the city limits, it was probably
like an hour to my son's apartment. And if there
was no traffic, if it was like COVID time, it'd
be like twenty minutes. Oh really Yeah, Well, because we
got there like during rush hour two on the day
before Thanksgiving, so it could have been a hell of
a lot worse.

Speaker 2 (02:27:34):
But did you go straight there? Did you pick him
up and then go to your mom?

Speaker 5 (02:27:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:27:37):
Well yeah, and then went up to kind of check
out his spot, and you know, because he was still
getting ready and he works at home. He's a he
works in cybersecurity, so his roommate has like an office,
but my son works at home.

Speaker 2 (02:27:49):
That's great.

Speaker 8 (02:27:49):
Yeah, so my car did not For everybody was asking,
they did not total my car out. They're fixing it
and insurance is paying for it and that's all good stuff.
Did they give you a time No last week. It's
sound like I was kind of expecting to hear from
them this morning because last week they were like almost done,
but the holiday coming up, don't don't quote us on that.

(02:28:10):
I was like, no, totally get it. So, I mean,
I'm expecting. I don't know what I'm making this week. Sometimes, yeah,
I haven't hit them up, but it's it's fine, I'll
drive this. But yeah, it was again, it makes me
laugh that person is in nineteen ninety eight because that
was exactly what I had in my head. But yeah,
those cars are sharp, man, pretty good. Hell on, you're

(02:28:34):
worried about a car being a midlife crisis, but your
gray hair is long. I don't understand that they're saying
you have long hair because it's a midlife crisis. Well
I've always had long I mean, I tell you out
you've talked about that. I cut it short for a while,
but I'm long.

Speaker 2 (02:28:46):
I've only been with you on the show for an
hour and you said that, yeah, seventy or excuse me,
for a year, said that seventy five times.

Speaker 8 (02:28:52):
Yeah. No, I have my male life crisis. When I
was thirty four?

Speaker 2 (02:28:57):
What'd you do? Got divorced? So oh see, just kind
of because you had to start over.

Speaker 8 (02:29:03):
Well, it was just yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know
guys that are like I got a guy a couple
of doors up for me who I've never seen a
wife or a girlfriend or anything. I think this guy
just pours all of his money into his house.

Speaker 2 (02:29:18):
Isn't that big.

Speaker 8 (02:29:19):
But he's got like all these cars in the driveway.
I'm like, all right, that's his flex man. Whatever, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (02:29:24):
I got, I got. I'm not that guy.

Speaker 8 (02:29:26):
Like, I don't have like a midlife crisis thing.

Speaker 2 (02:29:30):
Neither do I. I can't think of anything that I
want bad enough that would be like that, Like I
could care I don't want to boat. I couldn't care
less about buying like a supercar at this point in
my life. I'm just like, whatever, what do I need
it for? I'd rather just sell my duckhouse and go
rent the place and live out my day's you know

(02:29:51):
what I mean?

Speaker 8 (02:29:52):
Yeah, she ducks duck palace. Now, oh, how's that gone?
I think it looks like an igloo. Yeah I told
you that, right. Yeah they covered it up.

Speaker 2 (02:30:00):
Yeah yeah. And now it's twenty four to seven, so
I don't know if they were just not leaving them
outside before, but now it could be three o'clock in
the morning. That duck gets a hair across his ass.
That's what I'm here. Yeah, three am ducks. It's unbelievable.
I love ducks. I love nothing more than going to

Karantine you month of flesh and blood one made, We
won't need you. They use this for an insurance commercial
A while back. That's the last time I remember it
being licensed because it was a montage of people screwing up, right,
the implication being I'm only human, I make mistakes, even

(02:33:55):
though it's a song about infidelity. You know, maybe they
should use it for Ashley Manson something I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:34:04):
Oh't you please forgive me ah? The Human League.

Speaker 8 (02:34:07):
They've got to be on one of those nostalgia tours
or something. If they're alive, well that singer shaved his head.
They're still around. I mean they they formed in the
late seventies and, as was the style of the time,
very androgynous. Philip o'kie was the singer and the keyboard player,

(02:34:28):
and he still looks good. Dude's seventy. I'm looking at
the photo of the band. Is there two dudes and
four women? I think early they might have had some
touring No, it was it was one guy and two girls.
But they probably had some touring people.

Speaker 2 (02:34:43):
Maybe in the day. That's okay.

Speaker 8 (02:34:45):
Yeah, Philip o'kie was, yeah, the main guy. But again
a lot of makeup. Is it late seventies early eighties,
But I see three women in this picture and then
three guys. It looks like black and White.

Speaker 2 (02:34:57):
Yeah, it might have.

Speaker 8 (02:34:59):
Been winnowed down to it was Susan, Anne Sully, Joan
Catherll and.

Speaker 2 (02:35:03):
Philip Oke were the Human League and they asked the
eternal question, don't you want me? Baby?

Speaker 8 (02:35:12):
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar.

Speaker 2 (02:35:15):
That much is true. That much is true, but now
you've got to let me go.

Speaker 5 (02:35:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:35:21):
So I don't know if they're still around Human League touring,
are k feeling fascination?

Speaker 2 (02:35:32):
Passion burning?

Speaker 5 (02:35:35):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (02:35:35):
They're playing Limerick, Ireland in May. So they're touring in
the spring, roup doing some UK dates, some guests. Yes,
but like you're right, they probably would jump on one
of those installship tours. They are three huge songs of
the eighties. I'd go see them in the UK in
the summertime. They're playing Millennium Square and Leads. I'd go
over there.

Speaker 2 (02:35:55):
And that was Mungo Jerry. I think.

Speaker 8 (02:35:59):
Uh AnyWho yeah, and what hey? Calves are playing tonight.
They are hoping to break their losing streak, which is
now at three and they might just do it because
the Pacers ain't great. So Calves Pacers tonight in Indianapolis,
seven o'clock game time on WMMS and six.

Speaker 2 (02:36:23):
Point thirty pre game.

Speaker 8 (02:36:23):
Right after we get out of here, you'r FM holl
for Cleveland Cavaliers basketball. Is what one hundred points of
them table? I really shouldn't hit these. I should, I should,
I should refrain from doing that. I should keep my
emphasis strikes on the console, not.

Speaker 2 (02:36:44):
On the board. Isn't that where you do it?

Speaker 7 (02:36:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:36:47):
I do it over here.

Speaker 8 (02:36:49):
I shouldn't do it on the board because the slightest
provocation of this delicate equipment could be a problem, and
I shouldn't do that. I should respect the equipment. I
bring enough of my own in here, and I certainly
wouldn't want anybody getting goofy with my equipment. Rob, you
know how I hate when people get goofy with my equipment.

(02:37:12):
Speaking of respecting equipment, did you see what they painted
in the men's room. You said you were you were
catching up on that fresh paint, well earlier they painted
the previously absent urinal dividers. Yes, the partitions in between
the urinals they painted.

Speaker 2 (02:37:28):
Them, yep. And all of the doors and walls. Oh,
I didn't see that around the crappers. So that's what
that that's what the smell was they painted everything with
brown brown.

Speaker 8 (02:37:42):
I mean they're uh, they're keeping the what I assume
is a pretty solid bathroom motif.

Speaker 2 (02:37:48):
What does the ladies room look like, Jess, just a
smelly bathroom. Well, the exact same is ours. I think
it looks the tile everywhere.

Speaker 8 (02:37:57):
Yeah, it doesn't look smelly. No, I think it's blue tile,
blue tile.

Speaker 2 (02:38:02):
I don't know. I don't really pay attention, so I
don't think so a bit more of maybe a feminine vibe.

Speaker 8 (02:38:08):
No, you know, when we were out at oak Tree
and Independence Rod, the ladies room famously had like a
fainting couch in there or something for when they really
had to get a leg up. Those ladies can really
be as ghastly in the bathroom as the guys.

Speaker 2 (02:38:22):
Oh, I've just had a horrible BM.

Speaker 8 (02:38:24):
Yes, you get in there, boy, you got a duke's
of hazarded in there. You're over on one cheek trying
to make something happen. Yeah, I think it's I'm pretty
sure because they they leave the door propped open often
when they're cleaning, and you can get in there.

Speaker 2 (02:38:41):
No, but you can see you walk by, you can see.
I mean, I'm not not peeping, but you can clearly
see what's doing and it looks like the same bathrooms.
I think the only difference is you guys have more
more seating area and then there's like a couch or
something in there. Isn't there a chair or something?

Speaker 8 (02:38:57):
I don't think so well, Okay, next time I go,
I was gonna say, next time you're in there, thank you.
Next time you're in there, take notice what's going on. Okay,
I heard there was a little sitting area. You have
a Papa squad if you wanted to have a little seat.

Speaker 2 (02:39:11):
Check you a little thown. Our buddy jeff.

Speaker 8 (02:39:15):
In Hudson, who just got back from tagging most of
Australia with Alan Cox show stickers and thank you. Uh
he saw Human League at that Darker Waves festival that
was in Huntington Beach a couple of years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:39:28):
That would have been pretty red.

Speaker 8 (02:39:30):
See always liked those. They only have him in La though,
and I can never get out there. They always have
like those classic alternative festivals. There's one call I forgot,
oh god, what's it called? Not when we were young.
That's like for the millennials who were like, I'm still
all green day, it's something blink playing right. But that's
you know, it's a generational thing. Oh you know what

(02:39:56):
we missed while we were gone the dog show? They
announced the dog show winner, and I always like to
pay attention to that, just for you know, I'm someone
who just buried my dog Rob and so being able
to kind of live vicariously through these other dogs.

Speaker 20 (02:40:15):
Doto, Little Dogs, Pussy.

Speaker 2 (02:40:24):
Dogs, Fussy Dunton, Quiet Dogs.

Speaker 3 (02:40:28):
Show.

Speaker 8 (02:40:29):
A Belgian sheep dog named so Let French word for
son won the Best in Show title. Now, what I
like about this is not necessarily the goings on with
the National Dog Show, but that it reminds me to
watch the movie Best in Show, The Christopher Guest Classic.
The National Dog Show happens on Thanksgiving Day. I wasn't

(02:40:53):
really paying attention to that, was it more paying attention
to the lions getting stumped. But the six year old
dog named Sole, a Belgian sheep dog, it was the
best in show dog. Two thousand dogs participated in the

(02:41:13):
competition and she took the crown from last year's winter
veto the Pug, vto veto the pug. Now it's v
I t O, not v E t oh. That would
have been a sickier situation.

Speaker 2 (02:41:28):
No, I'm a pug. We got a veto this pug.
What do you want of me? I'm a pug.

Speaker 3 (02:41:32):
Huh.

Speaker 8 (02:41:34):
By all accounts, I shouldn't even exist. Kill me please,
I'm a crime against nature.

Speaker 2 (02:41:41):
Make with some milk bones, won't you?

Speaker 8 (02:41:43):
All these people that love their pugs, they're so cute
and his dog's like, I'm like that can't be right
or good.

Speaker 21 (02:41:53):
Boy, I have a flat face, but I'm a good boy.
You gotta stop tucking this way about me. Short snow,
I make noise. I smell when I sleep some much.

Speaker 8 (02:42:03):
Yeah, what if he ran into Tony Soprano Christ?

Speaker 2 (02:42:07):
He's kissed my ass? Oh, it's just the two words.
I need the two words. Yeah, you know, two words?

Speaker 4 (02:42:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:42:16):
Oh god, Tony Soprano. Let me ask you whose birth
do we celebrate on Christmas? Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (02:42:27):
Oh God, it should be in June. But hey, we'll
all agree that's fine.

Speaker 4 (02:42:31):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (02:42:31):
Yeah, Dave, are you excited for the dog show? Dave's
been uncharacteristically quiet today.

Speaker 2 (02:42:39):
I think he's still working off the turkey. I hate
a lot. Yeah, have you been in a hurry to
get to the bathroom, David.

Speaker 4 (02:42:50):
All that I'm run here.

Speaker 8 (02:42:58):
Yeah, Hey and Company just got themselves into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (02:43:04):
Have you heard any of that tribute album yet? Yeah,
it's pretty good. It's very good.

Speaker 8 (02:43:09):
There's a Bad Company tribute album. I think the first
thing they released from it was was it Hailstorm? Yeah,
Lizzie Hale and Hailstorm on some Bad Company tribute album.
It's really good and they kind of have an interesting
they kind of have an interesting lineup. By the way,
what the hell is it called. It's called Can't Get Enough,

(02:43:32):
a tribute to Bad Company. And this came out like
a couple of days before Halloween. And so the song

she's awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:44:36):
That's another one of those bands.

Speaker 8 (02:44:37):
I feel like a broken record, but it's another one
of those bands who were like, we gotta get the
hell out of Central Pa by any means necessary. Think
about all the bands that came out of that York
Pennsylvania area.

Speaker 2 (02:44:50):
They're like, this sucks.

Speaker 8 (02:44:52):
You're gonna get the hell out of Poison, Live Fuel, Hailstorm,
Oh yeah, all those out of Central Pa.

Speaker 2 (02:45:01):
Yeah. Paul sings. I mean he's in the video. He sings,
he plays guitar. That's him playing acoustic all the way
through the song.

Speaker 8 (02:45:07):
Ready for Love with Hardy, who I think is a
country guy. I feel like making love with our friend
Miles Kennedy and Slash Run with the Pack, Paul Rodgers,
brand Daylor who's a drummer and singer from masadon the Struts,
Dirty Honey, Blackstone Cherry, What.

Speaker 2 (02:45:27):
Did Dirty Honey do? Because I'm about Dirty Honey? Did
rock steady? Okay?

Speaker 8 (02:45:32):
With that?

Speaker 2 (02:45:33):
Baby is so good?

Speaker 7 (02:45:34):
Man?

Speaker 2 (02:45:36):
I prefer if they cleaned up the honey. Have you
seen them live? I haven't known. They are crazy rollbacks
seventies rock.

Speaker 8 (02:45:46):
I was gonna say, they feel something about that feels
manufactured to me. Are they just an LA band that's
trying to pull off Black.

Speaker 2 (02:45:52):
Crows or something? I don't know, Oh.

Speaker 4 (02:45:56):
Rock.

Speaker 8 (02:46:08):
I mean, these are the exact bands you would want
covering company. Yeah, def Leopard and Paul Rodgers and then
Taylor Mom's sending the pretty reckless to and all right
now and she's good.

Speaker 2 (02:46:20):
She's great. She showed up at the site, yes, but
she showed up at the Mason's Parade and did the
remake of that song. I was shocked. Yeah, she was
part of the Mason's Day parade. Yeah, she came out
and she sang where are You Christmas? A rock version
of it, oh from the Grinch? From the Grinch. Yeah, yeah,
I was because she hasn't really paid much attention to

(02:46:41):
that for years and years, so I was really surprised
to see her doing that. Wasn't there another guy? What
did I see? It was like a news story.

Speaker 8 (02:46:50):
About another band that was playing on a float, like
not Green Day, but there was some.

Speaker 2 (02:46:56):
There was some.

Speaker 8 (02:46:58):
Oh, what's his nuts? Uh from Wu Tang was there?
So Foreigner was on the stranger Things Flowing. Well, there's
no original Well that's what I mean. But I was like,
what because I guess Cold as Ice is on in. Yeah,
Foreigner now is like the guy from Docin and a

(02:47:19):
bunch of other dudes. I mean they've all been in
the band for thirty years now, but still yeah. Anyway,
so yeah, that Bad Company tribute album is pretty good.
At Lizzie Hale, she knows her way around a guitar.
I bet, Jess, do you sound like Lizzie Hale when
you sing? No?

Speaker 2 (02:47:37):
Oh, Miley Cyrus, you sound like her when you sing?

Speaker 14 (02:47:41):
That's yeah, I guess that's what I've been told, and
that's how I got the job with the band.

Speaker 8 (02:47:47):
Yeah, okay, no, now, like that's a bad thing. I
just wondered if that's probably more.

Speaker 14 (02:47:52):
First, And I know I have like a really lower register.
When I'm saying I can't hit those high notes, Oh
you can't. I mean I can, but I can't. Just
depends in interesting like Party in the USA, m.

Speaker 8 (02:48:02):
M oh, the I hate that song. That song's got
some stay in power though. Boy, that's a song you
will hear at weddings. I like when I take my
nine year old to the Daddy Daughter Dance. Obviously they
play it there and it's not like it's not like
nine year olds are down with Miley Cyrus, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:48:20):
But it's that song. And then the other one is
I want to dance with somebody that one.

Speaker 8 (02:48:24):
Oh my god, oh not the Whitney Houston it is,
and it's just it's too high.

Speaker 2 (02:48:31):
Why is tough? Yeah? All right, well now we know.
Now you know Bust of Rhymes. That's who was that.
I was trying to think of. Who the hell? Yeah,
he was there for Thanksgiving. Pready. It was awesome. And
then Little John came out too. So you watch that on.

Speaker 8 (02:48:48):
I always have it on when I'm cooking. I don't
really watch it, but it's always on. Yeah, it's a
tradition in my house. It was on Gotta watch Santa
right around noontime. Santa comes out, shows up on The
Stranger Things. I guess they dropped to Stringer Things on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (02:49:02):
Right. I didn't watch one second. No, I'm four seasons removed.

Speaker 8 (02:49:07):
Oh well, I've watched all of them. But it's like
the Sunken cost Fallacy. Right, Well, I put in this
much time, I might as well waste more of it
with this.

Speaker 2 (02:49:15):
I think was there six seasons? This might be five
or six.

Speaker 8 (02:49:19):
I watched the first two. It's like every episode is
like ninety minutes long. I'm like, guys, like we're putting
the finale in theaters. Yeah, they're all an hour and
a half long, and now they're all like forty. I'm like,
I'm over. Yeah, it is done. You could have there's
no more story to tell. You could have wrapped this
up last season.

Speaker 2 (02:49:38):
Well, it's like what they did with like Walking Dead.
I gave up after three seasons of that away. Whence
you start running out of ideas and they just keep
going just to make Oh because look at everybody's watching now,
it's just crap a zombies.

Speaker 8 (02:49:52):
We get it right anyway. Foreigner, we were talking last week.
Foreigner and Lynyrd Skinnard are going on that double Vision
Double Trouble tour. Mind you, neither band has any original members,
and both bands have already done their farewell tours. But
Foreigner is doing some dates with lou Graham. Some of

(02:50:15):
them are like yeah, some of them are like Foreigner.
The hits I don't know which one we're getting in
Cleveland next year, but a lot of them are.

Speaker 2 (02:50:22):
Like with Lou Graham, I would actually if he was there,
I would go Hell's.

Speaker 8 (02:50:26):
Yes. Absolutely, no disrespect to Kelly Hansen, but I would
much rather see Lou Graham. I didn't get to poop
news today, Rob. I had some poop news in the chamber,
as if were no. Come on, we don't have to
make everything scantalogical around here.

Speaker 2 (02:50:48):
You said poop in the chamber. I know I'm gonna
laugh at that. I know, but I didn't mean to.

Speaker 8 (02:50:56):
Trying to make sure that the highbrow gotta the moist.
