My name is Alan Cox.

Speaker 7 (01:14):
Thanks for being here. Say hi to Rob Anthony. He's
right over there. What's up man, Jess is back in studio.
G hi ya Alan here. I felt like a creep
when I found out Jess was twenty six. I'm forty four,
but that's like a new born compared to.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Some of the guys.

Speaker 7 (01:31):
She's hot for right, she's cute as hell, but her
voice had me from the start. How about that, Well,
she is a performer, and yeah, she rattled off her
celebrity crushes.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yesterday we were talking about people who were unconventionally attractive.

Speaker 8 (01:48):
Our friend Leslie threw Willem Dafoe at me. He's a spitter,
that Willem Dafoe.

Speaker 7 (01:53):
I will say that I saw him do a one
man show many many years ago, and boy, I was
in row two and I was like, at a Gallagher show.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Guy gets all worked up, boy, and he spits. He
is great. Though he's great, he was like filling in
last minute he was.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
It was a one man performance where they were going
to be doing some selected works from this Chicago poet
named Nelson Olgrin, and it was supposed to be boy,
they told us last minute. It was supposed to be
Matt Dillon, I think, and Willem Dafoe.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Somehow you got the upgrade subbed in last minute.

Speaker 7 (02:25):
I was excited to see Matt Dillon too, but Willem
Dafoe's great, But boy, when he was just gesticulating wildly
performing these poems and spitting up there on the stage,
it was a thing to behold. So uh yeah, Hey,
if you want to join us on the phone today,
you'll talk to Jess before you talk to us. Two
one six five seven eight one double oh seven eight

(02:49):
hundred and three four eight one double oh seven three
five two. If you want to send me a text,
you can listen, of course, on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
By the way, I want to show you some something here.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
I got an email from Vince not that long ago,
and Vince was like, you know, I'm usually a podcast listener,
he says, I listen on another app, but there is
a transcript. You know, if you listen to the show
on the iHeartRadio app, it does transcribe the show. And
he sent me a screen grab of the transcription of

(03:23):
the intro to the show, and it spells my name
coock S because it's just going phonetically. I would think, see,
this is how you know that the app is not
guaranteed human. We might be guaranteed human, but the app
is not guaranteed human because it transcribes the beginning of

(03:44):
the show and there's a lot of mention obviously of
my name and a lot of you know, and so
it's a coks is how it's spelled there on the transcription.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
See the guys in corporate. What the hell are these
guys talking about in Cleveland every day?

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Right, by the way, on the subject of guaranteed human
and this company trying to avoid, at least on the
talent side, the AI thing, it is getting a little
too big for its bretches. It is amazing with some
of the Okay, So, speaking of transcription, Jeremiah sends us
a lot of AI songs, right, and he took the

(04:21):
time to transcribe the intro to this show. It's just
a bunch of clips and little you know, clips of
It's a bunch of clips, right, a little montage, and
then we get into the body of the show, and
Jeremiah transcribed all of the clips and then put that
transcription into an AI song version of Right.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
So it's just I mean, you just heard it. You
just heard the intro to the show.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
The following content to be emotionally harmful.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Funny things that you think funny aren't funny.

Speaker 7 (05:00):
So he takes those line for line and he transcribes
them and makes it a heavy metal version. And again
it's just you know, working those it's not even lyrics,
is working those lines into a song like these AI
songs do, and I'll.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Be goddamned if it isn't. Just knock your sock sauce.

Speaker 8 (05:19):
It's like you said, the more info you give this stuff,
the better it comes out like that festive glory holes,
way better than it should be. It's how you play
the system. It's getting too big for its breeches. I'll
take what here. We are sitting all happy gone. It's
not got to replace us.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
It's gonna replace us. Yoh yeah. Here's some of the
metal version that Jeremiah sent me of the intro to
this program.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Welcome, Welcome, lby.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
What you got it got say a lot of got
a god in the alid dot. I don't know much
about you, but I can't even stand you. It's gonna
be a great show.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Let's kick it.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'll say kick it, and you'll just kick it with
a tasty crew.

Speaker 9 (05:59):
Okay, so very tag.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Kickets, I mean, give me a brank ways to do
it one time? Kickets? What the the Allen?

Speaker 8 (06:11):
Here we go, He'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
One hundred by seven wm M mess Cleveland.

Speaker 8 (06:25):
I mean could have done a little better with the
w n W. I mean, oh if you're splitting hairs,
bro I mean, yeah, oh funny w ann BC, thank
you Jeremy.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
That's amazing. But again, it really does.

Speaker 7 (06:45):
You know, we give country music a hard time saying
it's all a cookie cutter, but this just goes to
show you you can take any genre of music and
plug some things into it, and a machine that has
learned from actual artists, you know, will recon figure it
into something that you know gets your right in the
reptilian brain there.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I like the way you get the thing for the
legal Yeah. The Cleveland at the end was awesome. That
was great. That's what I mean. It's pointmms Cleveland good
because Cleveland ever sounded cooler? The god damn it who
sung in there? Well, and it all just goes so well,

(07:27):
I'll tell.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
You what crazy. These machines are robot overlords. Until they
enslave us, we can at least be entertained. And of
course that's the most important thing as far as people
are concerned, entertainment and convenience.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
The Ling Car Show on one hundred Earling Car Show.
He's fit and has bags of goomsmen one hundred point seven.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Domma, Yeah, a little Mett.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Thereat the place.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Oh, I didn't realize. You're right, sorry, Robot. Everybody hit
me up with their unconventional attractive celebrities again, Ellen, I
like the bang Elizabeth Warren Massachusetts.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
Yeah, and then I'm not going to repeat a very
graphic description of what they would do to her. I
like her too, but I feel like you'd get a
lecture from her while you're, well, you don't like her
like that? And I liked but this person does what
did Trump called Pocahontas? He called her Pocahontas.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Ellen.

Speaker 8 (08:38):
Another random might not be considered sexy man that I
like is Ron Pearlman.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Ron Pearlman one of the humongous head that was in
uh well. He was hell Boy.

Speaker 7 (08:47):
He was the og hell Boy. He was Sons of Anarchy. Yeah,
he was clay On Sons of Anarchy. He was Beauty
and the Beast in the eighties. That's where he blew up. Really,
he was under a lot of makeup. But that Beauty
and the Beast show is a huge show. It was
him and Linda Hamilton. But I think that's when people
first started to take notice of Ron Perlman. And boy,

(09:12):
you think I'm liberal? While that guy. I love old hippies.
I love old crotchety hippies.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I love it.

Speaker 7 (09:20):
But I mean, you know, early on in his career,
because he has a particular look, he's a giant man.
He has kind of a chro magnet vibe to him.
Those are the first roles he was getting. There was
a movie in the early eighties called Quest for Fire.
Did you ever see that?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
No, there's a movie with Tommy Chong's kid, gray Don Chong,
who had become a pretty accomplished actress in her own right.

Speaker 7 (09:45):
But it was a movie about cavemen. I think it
was like a French American movie or something, and it
won the Oscar that year for Best Makeup and it
was I don't remember the movie being that great, but
it was a movie about cave peace people. And Ron
Pearlman was in it because take a look at him,
and uh, you know what, I guarantee that's how.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
You got to be someone who looks Neander thought, oh, yes,
we need cro magnan.

Speaker 8 (10:12):
Yeah. So, I don't recall there being much well I
was gonna say dialogue, that's silly, but.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
I don't remember there being much verbal communication at all.
There was a movie there was a book that they
made the movie out of, but it was very early
eighties and I don't know that a lot of people
have seen it. And I think it was kind of
a success when it was out, made some money. But

(10:38):
I just remember Ron Pearlman being in quest for fire. Hey,
the Calves, they are playing tonight, old timey. You're gonna
want hyphenate that T hyphen and aght Calves tonight and
they broke that skid. They were down three in a row,
and then they met the Indiana Pacers and all was

(10:58):
right with the world again. So them on Monday night,
Portland is in town tonight, Calves or here at home
through the weekend, so they'll play Portland tonight seven o'clock
six point thirty. Is your pregame here on WMMS and
on the iHeartRadio app. Goddamn, it's cold out there today,
bee Oh, like a bracing, biting kind of cold. And
I was kind of taking a walk I had planned

(11:21):
and maybe getting some steps in stretch my legs.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
But what I hadn't planned on doing was well.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
Okay, so I was feel a little snacky rob So
a few hours back, I go, I'm gonna walk next door.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
To CVS and see what's doing in there.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
And so I walk past and there's a homeless guy
sitting out front, no legs, and he asked me some money.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I look him, I go, I'm gonna get you on
the way out. He goes, okay, thank you so much.
So I walk in.

Speaker 7 (11:48):
Well here's the problem. I got myself a couple of items.
The self checkout usually asks you if you want cash back? Yep,
it didn't uhh, And so I go, god damn it.
So when I walked out, I went the other way
and I went all the way around the block just
to void the guy.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh yeah, hey, I got my steps in. I felt bad.
What am I gonna do? Go back out there and
go ooh? If they usually is if you will cash?
He doesn't care, doesn't care. Should just handed him like
a thing of gummy bears. Here you go? Told you
I get you.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
Sorry man, my uh my friend got me some terrible
seven eleven gummy worms. But they're back in my backpack. Yeah,
so I picked these up. Yeah I got these for you. Hey,
how do you feel about jalapeno pistachios that scratch you
where you itch?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Guys, you gotta be kidding me, these guys, I don't
have legs. What am I gonna sucks?

Speaker 7 (12:42):
Not that there's a connection between liking pistachios and having
working legs that I know of. I'm a scientist, But yeah,
I still I hope not, hope not. He probably said
he probably saw me walk out, and he's like, I
don't care. I'm gonna ask everyone who walks by. But
you know most people, they blow those guys off. That
guy told me he was going to come out and

(13:04):
take care of He must still be in that store. Boy,
he must have a lot of stuff to get because
when I go into CVS, or when I cross over
to the east side and go to Heinen's there on
the corner, you know you're dodging the J dubs over there,
Comraine or Shine.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeh.

Speaker 10 (13:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
And if I noticed that there is a homeless person,
I will get cash back.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I do have that in my brain. And so I
told him.

Speaker 7 (13:30):
See, this is when I got a full head of
steam because I had never used one of those before
where it didn't ask you, and I always bypass it
because I don't need that. This time I was Johnny
big Balls right at the wrong time.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yep. Hey, I'll get you on the way back. Bro, great,
thank you.

Speaker 7 (13:45):
Walked all the way around the plane, walked all the
way around to prospect the long walk, came in through
our parking garage in that cold, just to avoid the
homeless guy because I had prematurely promised him rob money.
Now if I see by the way, now, if I
see that guy again, Uh, trading places, That's what I make.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
That was on last night. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
When people talk about their favorite Christmas movie, I don't
know why people don't mention trading places.

Speaker 10 (14:15):
So good.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I got no legs. There's like a a Roku. There's
a Roku has its own live TV channel, and I'll
go into that sometimes because there's just full channels that
show like nothing but Law and Order, nothing but Seinfeld,
nothing but Goldberg's that kind of stuff.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
Cheers, you can pick and choose. Well, they have like
so many other streamers do. They'll have holiday collections and
a lot of these other pikers. You get your usual.
It's Scrooged, which I love a Christmas story. It's a
wonderful life. The Roku has die Hard in there because
they know the die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Sorry, it just is no.

Speaker 7 (14:56):
And so well, if you and I were both in
my living room, Rob, this is where we would have
come to blows. But they had Diehard in the christm
But anyway, as I'm clicking around, the Live TV Trading
Places was on, and I love that movie so much,
but it's never one that you know, uh, you know
if you still have a cable TV brain. You know,

(15:19):
I'm a gen x er, so I still have a
cable TV brain. So cable was great because you could
just sit there and click around. I know people do
that with streaming services, but you can do that for
hours and not land on something. Cable you had a
finite list, so you'd end up picking something. So last
night I was up late. I'm writing for the show
the next day and whatever, and I just have the

(15:39):
Law and Order channel on. It's just NonStop laaranata. It
was pretty good. I go, oh, this one's got Jack
McCoy and it Where's Lenny Briscoe?

Speaker 11 (15:49):
Dude, I love Jack. Where's uh, Where's Jerry Auby. That's
like the greatest show on television. I don't want to
carry Lowell episode. I wanted Jill Hennison episode.

Speaker 8 (16:00):
Yeah, otherwise it's not la and they kill her off eventually,
So you gotta enjoy it while you can.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
We have these tree dudes come out to the house.
I was having a couple of treo, was having one
pruned and another one taken down. But it was the
day of all that snow, and I confirmed they were
still coming out. And I have to I assume, I go,
guys are chopping trees down?

Speaker 12 (16:25):
Right?

Speaker 7 (16:25):
Are the guys that do that kind of stuff? Like
they're not letting weather get in their way? They got
jobs to do.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
What they're real men. They're real men, that's right, real men,
not soft boys like us in here. I gotta walker
on the block. What a hobo?

Speaker 8 (16:38):
No way, a hobo, A real live hobo. He had
a bindle over his shoulder. What he lacked in legs
he made in bindles. Yeah, a hobo. So how long
have you been a hobo?

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Just back from riding the rod? Eh?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
And so.

Speaker 7 (17:06):
Yeah, So the tree guys came out and that's fine.
And then I hear from Ethan, you know, our buddy Ethan, Yep,
and he goes he just kind of emailed and he
was like, man, you guys were talking about the Thanksgiving table.
We showed you that video of the family in Red Bank,
New Jersey with the big long table of Thanksgiving food.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
One hundred and fifty people gathered at this house. The
ant has been preparing this for weeks, and the table
gives out and the whole.

Speaker 7 (17:34):
And there's like a twelve year old one of the
cousins is reading something like she's giving a Thanksgiving speech
or something, and it's the tail end of the familial applause,
and the entire table falls over or the legs give out, right,
and it all falls down, and.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Ethan is like, man, my dad, so he weaves me
this tale.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
His dad, he said, looked exactly like Ned Flanders, right,
like stupid sexy Flanders, caterpillar mustache, the glasses. He's like,
he never changed his look ever. He looked like Ned Flanders.
He liked to imbibe, right, he said. He wants punched
me in the face for stealing a candy bar. So

(18:17):
his dad was like a guy, right, looked like Flanders. Yeah,
did not act like, did not adhere to the good
book like Flanders.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Yeah, his dad didn't get mad when his kids ate
red hots like Ned Flanders. So Ethan's like, yeah, so
when I was like ten or eleven, we always had
a couple of Christmas trees in the house.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
With had fake one, we were real one. And he
goes and he hated the real trees. And one of
them was by a bay window in the den. In
one year, a cat climbed on the tree and knocked
it over. And He's like, and my dad flipped out.
You know how those bay windows will have the window seats. Yep,
he goes. My dad jumps up on the seat and
pulls like a Jimmy superfly snow took a flying elbow

(19:01):
on the tree and just jumps on the thing and
beats it to death.

Speaker 7 (19:05):
I'm like, that's a great story. I would love to
you know, I've seen it. Yeah, like a Christmas vacation
type vibe. Oh you know what I jumped in about
the real man thing making fun of you. What happened
with the tree? Guys, They did what they paid him
to do. They did get everything done.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
They got everything down. Yeah, like I knew they would.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Again, it was just it was a formality I realized
for me to confirm with them. And I give them
credit for not laughing at me. Through the phone when
I asked. But yeah, sure as hell. They came out
and took care of business. Probably just laughing at it now.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Probably pussy well.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
I mean, listen, I didn't get into that line of work,
so it's apples and oranges. I'm just saying that, Like,
there was so much snow that I wanted to make
sure so that I could reschedule if they weren't able
to make it out.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
I had my first get in the car and scream
this morning. I had to get gas after I dropped
care first, my first of the year from the cold.
M h and I just you know, it's just so cold.
After you stand or pumping gas for five minutes, you
get in the car and just like you don't know
what to do, and I'm just like.

Speaker 13 (20:04):
I hate what.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
No, Ohio, you could suck it?

Speaker 8 (20:14):
Yeah eah, yeah, yeah, Well you grew up in New England.
We grew up in the Midwest. I mean, people are
used to it, you know, but.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
You never get used to it. You think you are.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
I think you get over it. I've come to the
conclusion the last few years I'm over it.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
You're right.

Speaker 7 (20:31):
Like my nephew lives in Tucson, Arizona, Tucson, Arizonia. I
didn't see either of my older nephews because one of
them is stationed in Germany and the other one is
in Tucson, and.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
He never plans on coming back.

Speaker 7 (20:44):
I was kind of half kidding when I asked my
brother my sister in alaw I'm like, is Adrian coming
home for Nope, he never is leaving Arizona whatever, And
so if they want to see him, they have to
go out and see him. He's a mechanic for United
Airlines and my brother and sister in law when they retire.
He's fifteen months younger than me, but he'll probably retire early, right,

(21:08):
he goes, when we retire, we're just going out there.
We're done, we're unloading the house, we're leaving Midwest winters,
and we're just going out there. And I'm like, well,
your timing couldn't be better because the whole state's running
out of water. But that's not stopping people from moving
out there. It's gonna be fine. So I make the
distinction between being used to it and being over it. Yep,

(21:32):
you know, where would you go like when you're done? Well,
back in the day, people are like, I go here
because of this and this and this, But the weather
is so strange everywhere now, climate change doing whatever it's doing,
that there's no place you can point to and go, well,
I'm going there because of this. You know, you probably
have you can set yourself up more for success in

(21:52):
certain areas.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
I think, I know I don't want Florida.

Speaker 8 (21:56):
Both of my mother and my mother in law both
have a place there, so they'll they eventually there will
be two of them for choice, right.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Well, and because of that, you've spent an appreciable amount
of time there.

Speaker 8 (22:06):
But I don't I want nothing to do with being
a Florida resident. I don't want to live in Florida.
I don't like the weather all the time.

Speaker 7 (22:13):
Well, everything in Florida is trying to kill you, yes,
the environment, the animals, the people, everything, and so there is.
For people who live down there for a long period
of time, you kind of do develop this kind of
patina where you, just as everybody up here is kind
of used to this kind of inclement weather, people are
down there.

Speaker 8 (22:29):
It's just that it kind of slowly bakes your brain. Well,
it's as hot as balls. My mom lives on the
water and even with the cross breeze, it's still just hot.
She lives right on Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
I'm sorry, I am.

Speaker 8 (22:39):
I not familiar with that road. She is on a main,
main artery of Florida, though maybe that's what it's called.
I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Uh huh uh. I will yeah, I will never ever
live there, though. There's no way I have to pick.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
Like, I want to be in the warm climate, but
I don't want it as hot as like Arizona with
the dry and the.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Heat and hundred and stuff. So I don't know what
I'm gonna do.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
I loved California, man, when I lived out there. I mean,
I know that it's expensive and this all that craft
and its probably you can't retire, can't afford it, I know.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
So it's like, where do you go.

Speaker 8 (23:10):
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to like end up in
some hill billy ass state somewhere. I think, just because
the weather's good.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
There's like a million people in the entire state. Yeah,
it doesn't. The weather suck they get don't depends on
where you are.

Speaker 7 (23:25):
It depend what altitude you are, And I mean, obviously
it's not want it. It's not Florida, but yeah, no, no, no,
I'm probably gonna end up. I don't know South somewhere.
I used to like South. Nothing ever happens in Houston,
South Carolina. Maybe I've always kind of dug South Charleston.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
That's see. I gotta be on the water for sure. Yeah,
I better start saving. Boy, that's still that's hurricane country. Yeah,
I don't mind a hurricane. I had lived through a million.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
Even though this last hurricane season kind of flopped for
the United States, which is good news. But they were
really predicting because all that stuff that was going through
the Caribbean. They were like, oh my god. But things
worked out where a hurricane season wasn't really that big
of a deal this year.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Hey, doll, is it Dolly? Yeah? Dolly, Hi Dolly, how
are you ed? How are you hanging in?

Speaker 13 (24:12):
God?

Speaker 3 (24:12):
It's crazy you're talking about Florida.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
My brother just moved there to Clearwater last week, and
I was telling him, you know, you're living with all
the scientologists. I don't care at seventy five degrees.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Right now right here's scientologists everywhere everywhere.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, but anyway, I don't carry cash either, and there
is a homeless guy at a gas station I go to,
and whenever I go in there, I'll buy him like
black and miles. Sometimes I buy him a beer or whatever,
you know, whatever I have because I never have cast
and you can't get cash back there. So the other

(24:47):
day I went in and he was out there and
I say, hey, I have two black miles and they're like,
are these further the guy outside? And I'm like yeah, why,
They're like, I said, he's always polite to me. He's
always like and they said, well, oh this time, but
we appreciate in the future if you don't buy him anything.
And we're like, I'm like, why what is it, Mattie,
You're still making a sale. And they're like, be the

(25:08):
woman's standing out there. I'm like, he doesn't talk to anybody.
I mean, you know, people ask him if he eats anything.
He never like bothers anybody ask if you can clean
the trash out of your car or whatever. But other
than that, he doesn't say too much, Like we just
don't want them in front of our building.

Speaker 7 (25:24):
Well, here's the issue you're going to run into now,
because even homeless people have phones. You know, these guys
go on Twitter, and they go, Hey, there's a dude
in New Orleans who's handing out handles of vodka machetes. Yep,
you're trying to buy me, Black and Miles, what the
hell's going on?

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I want a machete, help me buy a bus ticket.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
Yeah, we got to step up our game if we're
going to try to be altruistic.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Dolly, Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm still bad and I.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Still think that I still think you're doing the right thing.
I agree, Black and Miles, I agree. Yeah, all right,
thank you, Dolly.

Speaker 8 (25:54):
Okay mm hmm. But you're just buying him cigarettes. I mean,
I know there's cigars, cigarettes, but that's really all that is. Like,
it's not helping that guy's day get any better or
spring for some swish or sweet spro I come.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
On, I mean, he's just hollowing him out.

Speaker 9 (26:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:15):
So all right, Well, I thought that she was gonna
tell me about the homeless guy that I unwittingly blew off.
I didn't mean to do that.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
Actually he has legs, right, what if he does? It's
like Eddy Murphy Man, what it matter?

Speaker 12 (26:30):
Though?

Speaker 7 (26:30):
You're still sitting outside in a cold Ohio winter in
a wheelchair.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
Well they had it if the guy was faking. We
had one dude over by the highway across from the ballpark.
I don't know, I forget the name of the road right.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
There, Carnegie in Ontario. Yeah, yeah, at the.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Corner of.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
He he had like the perfect spot for a long time.

Speaker 8 (26:51):
He had his little tent setup right on top of
that steam exhaust, so he had like heat.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
That was prime real estate. Looks like he kicked him
out now, but probably that was a good spot. People
can't be comfortable for too long around here.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
The Allen Cox Show on one hundred.

Speaker 12 (27:11):
WMMS Cleveland called the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
You met Allen? Oh my god, I forgot about Allen. Okay,
do you have a whiteboard?

Speaker 12 (27:20):
Two one six seven eight one double oh seven or
one eight three four eight one.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Double oh seven?

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Do for atingle with me? Living on?

Speaker 7 (27:38):
Hey, no, Jess watching one as I am compiling my
dossier of you. As you're new to the program, I
hope that you're at least mentally compiling a dossier on
the two of us. Yeah, little jots here and there,
are you aware of the blue hot hatred that our
own Rob Anthony has for Jimmy Buffett, No, I don't. Okay, Well,

(27:58):
now you know it is one of the It is
one of the defining characteristics of the clit rattler over
there where did you start? Yes, the beginning.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
He's awful. James Buffett was born. It's terrible. Sorry, go ahead,
And I was just starting.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
In there is yeah he he he is utterly derisive
and dismissive. Now, Jess, your thoughts on the ovra of
one James Buffett.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
He's okay, okay, he's okay. Well, when I was in
Key West, I think it was his what is it studio?

Speaker 7 (28:32):
Probably? I mean that sounds like it would be ground
zero for all things. Jimmy Buffett, I don't know, okay.

Speaker 8 (28:37):
Anyway, scared of I just don't believe a place called
Margaritaville should exist.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
Well, as far as it goes in the flats, it isn't.
Currently they put a thing on a Channel three head
of thing. Okay, cast your mind back A little backstory here.
They made a big deal about the fact that Margeritaville
was a fit opening after multiple delays like last July

(29:06):
or something, or you know, there was and then they said, well,
we're closing for the winter season, right, they go as
of December the first they're closing down there in the flats. Now,
the one time I was in Margueritaville down there in
the Cleveland Flats, I couldn't even get in, even though
the hours were clearly posted. I was down there with

(29:27):
some friends and granted it was like a Tuesday night
or something. We were out kind of dicking around, but
they were allegedly open. Like the hours they didn't say
closed Tuesdays. You know, we were there like eight thirty
nine o'clock and they're like, oh, we're up until eleven.
So I'm like peering in the door. I mean, there
was clearly you know, I saw a couple of people
sitting at the bar drinking, but I got the vibe
that they were people who had been working there.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
So I don't know if they closed early. I don't
know what it was. Every time I've been there, there's
always been like two people in that.

Speaker 7 (29:53):
That's what I'm saying. So I think that the thought
process is here. Rob, do you think they'll ever reopen? Okay,
that's I think that's probably an arrow and Rob's quiver,
and I feel.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
Bad for the people that work there, right, No, that
absolutely sucks. Well, I guarantee you half of them, hete
Jimmy Bufett. What I am about to say has nothing
to do with you. I wish you nothing but the best.
I hope that they do reopen. I just think they
will not, because there's only so many times a tour
bus of senior citizens can be dropped off at that
god forsaken place.

Speaker 7 (30:24):
I mean not only that, but it's like a running
joke that there's even a Margaritaville in Cleveland. Yes, right,
I mean Cleveland obviously takes its share of shots. But
to be a franchise city, now again, the flats, granted
is you know, they never met a chain restaurant they
didn't like.

Speaker 8 (30:40):
But oh, you think of a beach fun environment, you
think Cleveland, Ohio.

Speaker 7 (30:45):
Well it is a lake front city. I mean it'd
be different, but that's not nothing. You know, it would
be different if it was like a landlocked situation where
you're like, well we want the vibe, right, but Cleveland
is on a giant body of water.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Well, you think be able to see the water to
have a Margaritaville.

Speaker 7 (31:02):
Then there's there's a surf community in Northeast Ohio. Rob
it's legitimate, then put it over there. Reopen when they
redeveloped where the Cleveland brown Stadium is for a million Margaritaville, Yeah,
I mean right there on the canal.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Do it where there's you're on the water.

Speaker 7 (31:18):
A banner on the restaurant's official site declares that the
location is quote closed for the season. I would be
I think we would all be real surprised if it reopens.
Why didn't now see again, this is where things like
this pissed me off? Why didn't they get creative with it?
Don't know the reason we're closed for the season.

Speaker 8 (31:38):
Just do something like something that's where you're supposed to be, right,
you're supposed to be this fun viby thing.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Were it closed, they're never gonna open again.

Speaker 13 (31:48):
Now.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
They were open last Christmas. They did like a pop
up thing. So that's leading some people to be like,
don't look good. Have it opened in July twenty seventeen.
They're in the s Bank of the Flats and I
literally I've never been in there. They I remember when
Mary Santora and her family went to New York City

(32:09):
some years ago, they stayed at the Margaritaville hotel in
Times Square because it had a rooftop pool. And even
as she was describing before, they all went, I'm like,
this sounds great, but you know what that rooftop pool
is going to be. And when she came back and
described it, it sounded because they were there were little kids,
a bunch of little cousins and her sister have.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Kids and all that kind of stuff. It is nuts
to butts on that rooftop pool. Yeah, right in Times Square,
for God's sake.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
My wife was stuck when they canceled their flights. She
just went a few months ago, or a few weeks ago,
whatever the hell it was. When she was in Fort Lauderdale.
The only thing that was open while she was waiting
in the airport was a Margaritaville and she texted me
a picture. She said, I'm so sorry, and I'm like, no, no,
when you get home, shower.

Speaker 7 (32:52):
Clean, washed that well, I texted you a picture, didn't I? Yeah,
there's one in Navy Pier. Yeah, yeah, because we were
this past weekend. We were our hotel was on Navy
Pier and so we were walking around. My daughter wanted
ice cream. We went to Harry Carrey's to get havanash.
All three of my kids are with me and my
wife and which, by the way, with respect Harry Carrey's restaurant.

(33:13):
I ordered the foot long Chicago Dog and it was terrible.
I don't know how a Harry carry restaurant pulls that crap,
because I.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Like, it has to be good. I think it just
has to be what it is. People are gonna go
just because.

Speaker 14 (33:28):
Of what it is.

Speaker 7 (33:28):
But the bun was, by any measure, it was not good.
The bun was super stale. I was already like a
BlackBerry mule deep, so I don't think I really cared
that much. But the bun was practically like French bread.
It was so stale cross it was, and the it
had everything on it is a foot long, right, so
I'm gonna eat the goddamn thing. But I mean, I uh,

(33:49):
but the the hot dog wasn't was like mealy and oh.
I was so disappointed. So like any of those places, man,
you know. But it's it's convenient because it's in the
building of the hotel, you know, and navy piers a
big long thing inside there. I've eaten there before and
it's dynamite usually it's way better than it has to be.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
This was just terrible.

Speaker 8 (34:09):
Guess what the food at Cheers in Boston the actual
light that looks like the bar Cheers and staying, well,
the real one no that yeah yeah, yeah, but I'm
saying the actual like they have one built in Faniel
Hall that looks like, Oh, I see the Cheers bar.
That's where everybody goes. That's the tourist track, got you.
Uh the food sucks. Everything sucks about it. You go

(34:29):
there to take a picture in front of Norm's chair. Wow,
Like that's what it's what it is.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (34:33):
I think that's the same thing with most of those
those namy restaurant things. Mickey Mantle's Bar in New York
City sucks, but it's fun to go to here at
Mickey Mantles.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
Yeah, so I I there is a Margaritaville tucked in.
They were actually behind where the jay Dubs were set up.
And U again, I'd never been back there, so I
don't know how long it's been there. But I sent
Rob a photo of course because I want I wanted
him to see the a good time that all those
people were having.

Speaker 8 (35:02):
The Bull and Finch is the name of the real
cheers in Boston. That's right, that's the exterior shots we'll
see like when they go downstairs.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Right, yeah. Yeah. So anyway, it was a disappointing and
Rob hates Jimmy Buffett.

Speaker 8 (35:20):
Well, I mean, I can't imagine you close for four
or five months and you reopen.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
I just I don't.

Speaker 8 (35:27):
I don't know how you do that with a place
like that, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean
maybe they will. Maybe maybe this is exactly what the
doctor ordered. It'll make people want to go and again
for the employee's sake. I hope that's the case. But man, like,
I gotta assume there's not that many people that care
that there's a Margaritaville in the flats.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Alan. Do any of you guys think Batman Returns is
a Christmas movie?

Speaker 12 (35:49):
No?

Speaker 6 (35:50):
I do, do you? I?

Speaker 7 (35:52):
Well, here's the distinction. Does a movie have to be
about Christmas? I mean, I would think so to call
it a Christmas move, I think Christmas, That's what I'm saying.
I think The Ref is a Christmas movie.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
I love the movie.

Speaker 7 (36:05):
The Ref's Facey, Judy Davis Leary love that movie. I
think The Ref is a Christmas movie. Does it have
to be about Christmas? Obviously, it's a Wonderful Life, a
Christmas story.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yeah you go, Oh, there's a Christmas movies. People argue
about Diehard and that doesn't feel like a Christmas movie
to me. It's a Christmas party that's happening. Ho ho ho,
I have a machine gun row? Yeah, he does, he does.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
And I think The Batman Returns is also a Christmas
movie with a great Christopher Walker.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (36:36):
I think movies that take place around Christmas. I mean
you can if you want to make a case for it, fine,
but they don't feel like Christmas movies.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
I beg to differ. What do you think? You think
Diehards a Christmas movie?

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (36:47):
I've never seen that, But.

Speaker 8 (36:50):
Oh, I've never seen you two ancient humans.

Speaker 14 (36:54):
I've never seen die Hard. So what do you think
is oh not a Christmas movie? But I'll say, you know,
Paul Blart Mall Cop, it's a Thanksgiving movie. Just play
on Thanksgiving, ladies and gentlemen. Christopher Walking is not in
Paul Blart Mall Cop. And that is how I make
a decision on all the movies I watch. Is Christopher

(37:15):
Walking in this?

Speaker 8 (37:16):
I I love the jest stuff already so much I
beg to differ. Oh you do you have an opinion
on a Christmas movie?

Speaker 3 (37:25):
No, but Paul Blart is a Thanksgiving film. She works
that into everything. I love it. This is great because
what are the Thanksgiving movies?

Speaker 10 (37:33):
Right?

Speaker 7 (37:34):
There's planes, trains and automobiles. There's Paul Blart, mall cop.
There's another one that's a real egregious.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Absence on my part that somebody reminded me was a
Thanksgiving movie and I can't remember what it was, but
I was like.

Speaker 7 (37:46):
Yeah, of course that's a Thanksgiving movie. I don't remember
what it was. But Paul Blart and planes, trains and automobiles.
So it's die hard about What is it about?

Speaker 3 (37:58):
It is about? Well, it's set around Christmas.

Speaker 7 (38:02):
It's a Christmas party, Christmas party that gets taken over
by terrorists. And a woman who's part of this party,
her company, her husband is a cop. This is in
La Her husband's a cop from New York. He has
come to see her because he's trying to reconcile because
they're on the precipice of divorce, and he is in
a bathroom when the whole thing pops off and then
he's left on his own in the bowels of this

(38:25):
high rise to try to eradicate these terrorists. It is
a classic Bruce Willis remember him as he should be remembered.

Speaker 8 (38:33):
She's got a thing for Bruce Willis too, even right now, Uh,
you do know that Bruce Willis is ill?

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yes? Yeah, I know, Okay, all right, I just want
to make sure was it the Big Chill? Is that
the Thanksgiving other movie you're thinking of. I've never seen
The Big Chill. I watched like the first twenty minutes.
I was like, oh, this is not for me. This
is like a boomer romance. So Jess credit.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
I'm looking at the thirty two best Thanksgiving movies according
to Elle magazine, and Paul Blart Maltop is on the list.

Speaker 7 (39:01):
Well, if anybody knows Thanksgiving, it's the staff of l magazine.
I mean, the Scent of a Woman is listed as Listen,
they have as much claim to it as anybody else.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Scent of a Woman Thanksgiving movie.

Speaker 7 (39:14):
I never saw that either. Oh my goodness, that where
he's blind? Yo Pacino?

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Who who movie?

Speaker 10 (39:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Who?

Speaker 11 (39:22):
Right?

Speaker 7 (39:24):
Noah is working in al Tuna, PA for a couple
of weeks He's like, you think the weather's bed there
once you be up in these mountains. Somebody else had, Allen,
you're familiar with Renault syndrome. It's the worst time of
year for people who have that. I had Renault syndrome.
Was driving a rental in Corsica and I wrecked this
thing coming around a curve. I think it was a
Renault Arcana or something like that. So, yeah, doy, I know, No,

(39:48):
isn't Renault syndrome. When you don't have you can't you
can't get blood to your extremities.

Speaker 10 (39:51):
You know what that is.

Speaker 7 (39:52):
I don't know Renault syndrome, Yeah, something like that, right,
like your fingers Maybe I thought it was fingers, anto's.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Maybe it's fingers. I think it's fingers and toes.

Speaker 7 (40:02):
It's head, shoulders, knees and toes. As what this fifth
grade texter is telling me. Yeah, so listen, I uh no,
I don't have that. I know what it is, but
I'm sure it's a terrible time for you.

Speaker 14 (40:15):
Now.

Speaker 7 (40:15):
I've been driving back and forth to Cleveland professionally for
six years. I guess that's better than doing it at
the amateur level. I've always wondered how Margareteville stays open.
I figured it had to be a front for something. Well,
there's a lot of places closing right who knows. But
I think once word got out that Cleveland was considered

(40:36):
the butthole of the world by no less than the
former mayor of the city, that might have done something
to throw off the ill.

Speaker 15 (40:43):
Leave is perceived to be the butthole of the worlds sometimes, right, Hmmm.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
He's got an email from Ethan.

Speaker 8 (40:49):
He says, Buddy, all I can think about is that
picture of you mooning the camera at Margaritaville after the boat.
I kind of forgot I did that, and I found
those pictures the other day. I went deep with the mooning.
There was almost it was almost fruit basketing, like I
went I went low with Yeah, I went, I went low.
And now I'm worried that he has that picture. I

(41:10):
know that I have it, but I'm worried that like
he's got a copy.

Speaker 7 (41:13):
Well, but but people are telling me there was a
Margueritaville in Sandusky. I thought it was a guy who
called it that and then got in trouble for it
or something. I've never been out there, I've you know,
but I'll take your word for it. Isn't the movie
Dutch with Ed O'Neil a Thanksgiving movie?

Speaker 3 (41:30):
I don't know if I ever saw that. I saw
a long time ago.

Speaker 7 (41:33):
And then there's the Eli Roth movie called it might
just be called Thanksgiving, but it's a horror movie with
a guy with a Pilgrim outfit is killing her. But
there's thanks killing. That's a good one. Yeah, Nightmare Before
Christmas is a Thanksgiving movie?

Speaker 6 (41:44):
Is that true?

Speaker 3 (41:45):
I don't think so.

Speaker 8 (41:45):
Isn't it Isn't it was a Christmas Halloween movie. Maybe
they're just settling on the holiday in between the.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Two Home for the Holidays with Holly Hunter.

Speaker 7 (41:56):
If Memory His Knives Out is a Thanksgiving movie, I
think they mean that literally, not figuratively. I think if
Thanksgiving they have got knives out to carve the turkey.
I don't know that the movie Knives Out with Daniel
Craig is a Thanksgiving movie.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
I just don't.

Speaker 8 (42:11):
I don't understand how even Rotten Tomatoes doesn't make planes, trains,
and automobiles the number one Thanksgiving? What do they have
as number one? The Gold Rush with Charlie Chaplin? No
one I've seen that goddamn movie the gold Rush. Come
on this silent comedy, the Little Tramp. Charles Chaplin heads
north to the Kwondike gold Rush. That's the best Thanksgiving movie,

(42:32):
says Then Miracle on thirty.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Fourth Street nineteen thirty something.

Speaker 8 (42:36):
Miracle on thirty fourth Street is number three, isn't I
would say that's a Christmas movie, wouldn't you?

Speaker 16 (42:41):
It comes Charlie Chaplin to cut the turkey.

Speaker 8 (42:44):
MM depression has set in what no turkey?

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Ooh, cranberry dressing. I do like the movies.

Speaker 7 (42:51):
I love the scene in Christmas Vacation, which does not
hold up. Boy, I learned that the hard way. But
I do love where turkey is so dry that it
just comes apart and like it explodes, or the rib
cage splits in two and it's all dust. I do
like that trope in those kinds of movies where it's
so poorly cooked that it's just like dust, and then

(43:13):
they're trying to eat it like jerky, Hey, Jeff the trucker.

Speaker 6 (43:18):
How's it going?

Speaker 3 (43:19):
What's that man? How are you good?

Speaker 12 (43:22):
Hey?

Speaker 13 (43:22):
Rob?

Speaker 6 (43:22):
I've got an idea for you for your winter vacation
or otherwise winter retirements. All right, you can downside the
house there up in Ohio, but then get a small
place down somewhere south like Yuma, southern California and so
col still expensive. But Tucson go see Allen's nephews.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Yeah, I'm not as.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
Go go down there, and you know it's it's not bad.
It's the lowest it gets usually maybe forty degrees. The
highs are in the seventies.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
You know, Can you still take that? Jeff? Can you still?
Can you still take that three ten to Yuma? I
don't think so.

Speaker 6 (44:06):
I stop all right, but the prison, half the prison
is still there.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Hey cool? Half the prison half of it?

Speaker 6 (44:13):
Yeah, half the half of the yeh got taken over
by the railroad.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
Right, yeah? All right? Well there you go, Rob Yuma,
Arizona from Jeff the trucker be a snowbird.

Speaker 7 (44:26):
Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate it, Rob your thoughts, Uma, Arizona. Nope, okay,
I don't think so, no, even give it a second.

Speaker 12 (44:34):
No.

Speaker 8 (44:34):
Only because I'm an East Coast guy. I feel like
I want to be back when I actually I'm gonna
be a hundred.

Speaker 7 (44:41):
Do you want to be on that gangs to the
mighty Colorado River? There right by right at the Mexican border.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
No, no, I want to be.

Speaker 8 (44:49):
I want to be on the East coast. But I
don't want to be in New Englands. It's too goddamn court.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Yeah, but nowhere on the East coast is warm.

Speaker 6 (44:54):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
It is where you can call Florida's East coast.

Speaker 8 (44:57):
Oh yeah, but you said you're not going to no,
but South Carolina, North Carolina it's warm, you know.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
I mean, he gets some chilly months, but it's not
like this.

Speaker 10 (45:06):
You know.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
I could go to Savannah, Georgia, which I love, and
live in Savannah. Have you been in Savannah?

Speaker 7 (45:12):
I haven't. It's on my bucket list. It is a
very I don't have a bucket list. But that's one
of those cities I go. I'd really a friend of mine,
her daughter went to art school down there many years.
So it is a gorgeous city in Georgia. You know California,
it's nice and warm because most things are on Firewell right,

(45:32):
ye and yeah, okay, thank you, Jeff the trucker.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Cobblestone streets, and Savannah's gorgeous. I don't need that. I
don't need cobblestone. I like regular stone. You'd love it.
Oh it's gorgeous. All right, Savannah is a killer city.

Speaker 7 (45:47):
No understood, But I mean I don't need cobble stone
streets and plus like I said, but do they have
any limestone streets.

Speaker 8 (45:55):
By the time I can retire? You'd have to look,
I'm not sure. Oh I'll be one hundred anyway, and
I'm gonna die.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
What did it say? Sixty something? So yeah, you're dining early.
I'm way out.

Speaker 7 (46:03):
Yeah, all right, well, yeah, cobble stone is one of
those things that seems great until your drunken aunt twists
her ankle in her heels. Rob not speaking from experience,
I'm just saying.

Speaker 8 (46:19):
Lucky for me, I won't have to worry about any
of that by the time I'm old enough to retire.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
The ellen Cock Show on one hundred seven. Best way
to resist the machines. Dumb down your smartphone by listening.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
To this crap.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
He won't even remember how to tell time.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
The ellen Cock Show on one hundred point seven. Domms.

(47:19):
I don't know why.

Speaker 7 (47:20):
I always think Scott Wiland died a long time before
he did. Scott Wyland died ten years ago today, and
I always think that he died closer to like I mean,
if I really took the time to do the math,
which granted I'm terrible at, but you know, there was
Velvet Revolver, and there was all that other stuff, his

(47:44):
solo stuff. I always think Scott Wiland died earlier than
he did. You know, my dear, dear friend Jim Linum
who was my co host in Chicago, he died in
August of twenty fifteen. He was I had ten years
this past summer, and I can't get my head around that,
and Scott Wiland died after him. I'm like Jesus, I

(48:06):
don't know why I think Scott Wiland died earlier than that.
Some people refer to Scott Wyland as the greatest grunge
front man of all time.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
Now I take exception with that. I like Scott Wiland.

Speaker 7 (48:19):
I've one of my greatest radio memories of all time
involved Scott Wiland in Stone Temple. Pilots loved the band.
But twenty fifteen, Scott Wiland died, and I always think
it's longer than that. And then Rob, I'm brought back
to reality, just like M and M said, and am

(48:41):
reminded ten years ago today he was definitely the most.
He was the guy who injected the most David Bowie
into grunge right as.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
A front man. So where are you going Cornell? Is
that the greatest grunge front man?

Speaker 10 (48:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (48:59):
For me, it would be because I don't think of
Kurt Cobaine as a front man. I don't think he
maybe thought of himself that way. I think he begrudgingly
became the you know, Chris Cornell or Lane Staley. For me, yeah,
I mean this is only because Soundgard and Allison Chains
were my two favorite bands of that era and they're
both gone.

Speaker 8 (49:19):
And STP may have been mine. Like STP is right
towards the top. For me, I would say two three maybe.
I mean, I can't think of many bands that I
like more than Stone Tumble really.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (49:32):
When they got when they really first broke out and
they were more kind of traditionally grunge, and everybody was
giving them a hard time saying, oh, here's another carbon
copy of these other bands. And then they kind of,
I think wisely for them, moved into more like this,
wanted to sound like the Beatles, and that's kind of
when they lost me. I liked them when they rocked, Yeah,

(49:52):
and when they got into like Tiny Music and.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
I was like, no, I'm not really, it's not for
me anymore.

Speaker 8 (49:57):
Those first three records were great, absolutely, and then I
beat I Had I Had Purple like on cassette or so,
I beat the piss out of that album when it
came out.

Speaker 7 (50:08):
That's yeah, meat Plow and Yeah. But Core, I think
is still one of the greatest albums of that entire era.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
I think Tiny Music was still good.

Speaker 8 (50:19):
That was I mean, it was before it started getting weird,
for sure, but Tiny Music still had big, big bang
Baby was on that.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
There was still leading picture on that.

Speaker 8 (50:27):
That was more like Bowie and t Rex than like
Core was non stop grunge.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Right, they were all rockers. Well, tripping on a Hole
was a rock rock song, straight ahead right. Yeah. But
but I I've never when I hear him.

Speaker 7 (50:44):
Yeah, I love Sometime Blots, But again, I always think
he has been dead longer than that.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
And ten years ago today the Scott Wiland died. Still
one of my biggest concert regrets.

Speaker 10 (50:57):
Man, I.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
Saw I saw his TP like twenty times.

Speaker 8 (51:00):
Yeah, but I had tickets to go see him on
that last tour was November twenty fourth.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
Oh god, for you.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Oh, I want some days I would have go across them.

Speaker 8 (51:15):
So yeah, I had tickets on the twenty fourth to
go see him at a place called Loopos and Providence
and I was like, eh, I'll catch him next time.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
And he died.

Speaker 8 (51:24):
Oh really, not even a week later. Yeah, it was
November twenty fourth, Loopos and Providence. Well, his kid's in
a band now too, right, Yeah, trying to get off.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
The ground yep. Yeah, and he did. He just did
a STP song. I saw some video come across. I mean,
I forget that Chester Bennington front at STP for a
cup of coffee and that was weird. It was weird,
but I got what they were trying to do.

Speaker 7 (51:45):
Yeah, And I like that he enjoyed that band so
much that he's like, yeah, I'd like to go out
and do some songs with you guys.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (51:52):
And he was.

Speaker 8 (51:52):
He was great at that, like early STP stuff, A
lot of the screamy stuff that Scott was doing. I
mean he could do this stuff without the the megaphone. Yeah,
make it sound awesome.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (52:05):
And I'm a long time listeners. It is a text
of three five one ninety two. I'm a long time listener.
I logged into the live stream today for the first
time to see who Jess is. I saw a girl
with gray hair and an orange and black flannel, and
I thought to myself, that doesn't sound like fancy.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Son of a bitch. You know what, Rob, do you
see what's happening saying it to you? He's saying that
I look like an old woman with long gray hair
and wearing my orange and blacks. I was gonna say,
we have matching hair today. Oh jeez, you were gonna
say that, Jess. I were really thinking.

Speaker 8 (52:38):
It's gaining points by the second. Aren't you Just just
wear my hair down then, and I'll make everybody all
mad the emo, the emo look, not even emo.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
I'll just wear it down. I tuck it because otherwise
it like it's in my mouth and I don't want
the whole thing. And then we'll just do that wrong.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Right.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
I know I don't look any better. I look worse,
But who cares? Right, I didn't get into this business
to be on camera every day. You do what makes
you happy. Nothing makes me happy.

Speaker 7 (53:05):
So anyway, this person checks in and well they saw
Jess on camera there, right, she would be the young
lady bathed in purple light.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
There she is. There's Jess wmms just Jess on its
day right, congratulations?

Speaker 10 (53:25):
Where is it? Oh?

Speaker 3 (53:26):
There it is? Alan.

Speaker 7 (53:36):
I have three words for rob Pacific Northwest, not two words.
It doesn't get cold enough to snow. It's just rainy,
and it's gorgeous and everywhere you drive it looks like
a painting. I'm very ambivalent about the Pacific Northwest. It
is a beautiful part of the country, but you also
do have to factor in kind of the economics of it.
That part of the country has a huge I was
just talking to my son about this because he had

(53:57):
gone to Seattle for work and I'm like, I love
work trip, and He's like, Jesus Seattle, I go. I know,
I love Seattle, I love Portland and all those, but
those are cities that have huge like teenage homeless and
heroin problems and all that.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
You know, how do you think grunge was born?

Speaker 7 (54:14):
I mean, now, granted, Ohio has more cloud cover per
year than the Pacific Northwest, so the stereotype about it
never never getting the sun out in Seattle, you really
don't get the sun in Ohio and you go over
to Vancouver. That city's just one giant bowl, so whatever weather,
it moves through. But those are cities that have huge

(54:36):
problems across a spectrum of issues. But it is a
beautiful part of the country, and so I think for
a lot of people. It's My favorite bar in Seattle
is called the Funhouse. That's long gone.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
It was up the street from the Space Needle and
it was like this punk and metal bar and you
just go in there and I would just get fit
chased in the middle of the day. But I think
it's long gone. Yeah, I've never been.

Speaker 8 (55:01):
I've still not been to the West Coast really to
speak of, to like spend time, you know what I mean,
Like I had never gone to Seattle and spent time there.

Speaker 16 (55:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (55:10):
Scott Wiland played Roverfest in twenty fifteen right before he
died and he said he was off of his was
that on the solo tour?

Speaker 8 (55:17):
That was ok it was the same run that was
that same exact run at Yeah, and he was off
of his balls from what I understood, Okay, I mean
he died a couple months later, right, So yeah, it
makes sense. I mean that's a guy you wanted very
much for him to be on his balls.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (55:32):
Yeah, that's one dude that like, still to this day,
it bothers me, Like when you said it was his
ten year thing, like I was like, oh, like he
just cringe.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Oh man, that was one.

Speaker 8 (55:41):
I just always hoped you'd get it right. You'd always
figure out his issues, you know. Yeah, so talented.

Speaker 7 (55:48):
Talking about Margerittavil closing for the season down there in
the flats, and somebody sent me the article in the
break they have closed Inferno and rum Runners in the flats.
The restaurant group that owns those two places, they're the
ones that own velvo Vel Tango Room.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Over there at Duck Island. They bought that from the
guy who used to own it.

Speaker 7 (56:07):
And Gomo, which is the sushi joint right around the
corner here, yeah, which is a great spot. But Inferno
and rum Runners. I had an appearance at Inferno this
past summer. We were doing stuff for the World Cup
with bud Light, and this was the middle of a
Saturday afternoon and there was a lot of stuff going
on in the flats. It was like the afternoon after

(56:28):
the morning of some like cancer run or marathon or
something like that, and there were tons of people running
around and doing stuff.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
And it was there were three people in Inferno, so
I was like, maybe they got something going on. It's
just harder and harder to keep these spots open in
the flats.

Speaker 12 (56:44):
Man.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
So if you were somebody who spent a lot of
time at Inferno or rum Runners, those have both closed
with no advance warning, I guess, And it was, you know,
what are you gonna do? They're kind of around the
back too, right, you get down there, you got to
kind of dig around the back there to find these.
I don't even think I know where that is.

Speaker 7 (57:07):
It's like if you, well, what's that place called the
lake House or something like, if you were to park
and go over to punch Bowl, if you went around
the other way, if you went to the left, back
around towards the river, you'd come across Inferno and rum
Runners and.

Speaker 8 (57:22):
Down there I think Quirky three times there. Corky's Bagels
is back there. Total maybe three times and it's been
after your after after the boat captain fun. Yeah, so
I can't I only know those like three places we've
been to. What's the place with the upper deck high
five or something like that, something like that. Yeah, that
place I know where uh members only Dave DJ's good night,

(57:46):
John Boyle love that place again. That's in the chain.

Speaker 7 (57:48):
You know, a lot of these places are changs, which
is fine, but you know, rum Runners is what replaced
Thirsty Dog, which itself closed a couple of years ago. So,
you know, when you have that many places on such
a small footprint, obviously there's gonna be some attrition.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
But I like the flats. A lot of people crap
on the flats. I like the flats I have.

Speaker 7 (58:12):
You know, when we do the funny bus in the
spring that leaves from collision bend up the street. I've
always had a great vibe down there. Yeah, it's been great.
I just I don't get I don't do anything. You
know that, So like, no, you should do more stuff.

Speaker 17 (58:24):
I know.

Speaker 7 (58:25):
But we're not here for long, Rob, We're not here
for a long time. We're here for a good time trying, right,
kind of trying. I was gonna say, you're not trying.
I mean I come to work every day. That's a
good start. Yeah right, that's a great start. Yeah man, No,
that's a great start. You're you're saying you leave your
house right to come to work, right, and then sometimes

(58:47):
I go out after, like I go to dinner. Your
baseline is leaving the house, right, yeah, yeah, because if
I didn't have to, I would not mm yeah, once
I'm away from them ducks. And I was gonna say, listen, dude,
you can do the show from your house. I can
talk to you down the line from your house.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Don't say that.

Speaker 8 (59:08):
I'm saying, if you want to start that tomorrow, I'd
be like, that'd be it. You never see me again,
all right. He's like, no, no, no, I'm saying no.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
Jo, Yeah, no, I I do. I am working on it.

Speaker 8 (59:22):
I try to try to go out and do things
every once in a while, make plans, usually bail on
them last minute.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Well I can't go out. My stomach is a mess tonight.
So sorry, Oh guys, I'll I sure do. I'll tell
you what.

Speaker 7 (59:39):
I uh, I've got some gastro intestinal distress. Excuse me,
Oh god, I have to say, excuse me.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
I have to run. You know, today was Ozzie's birthday too,
I do. I'm sure you know this, I do. He
he was a couple of weeks younger than my mother,
who just turned seventy seven years old. So I have
to think, all things being equal, that's how old Ozzie
would have been. Was seventy seven years old as he

(01:00:07):
died at Don't tell me seventy six years old? He did,
all right, So Ozzie would have been seventy seven years old.
Kelly posted a real nice miss my dad today thing.

Speaker 7 (01:00:21):
Kelly Osbourne. Yeah, Ellen, you're not gonna look any better
until you cut your hair. But you already know this,
So why the charade.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
Because he likes having long hair? I don't know. You
know they're right, they're right. How might tell you all
this to say that I think it's funny when people
call me a grandma. Now I'm not encouraging them to
do that. This is the Streisand effect in full effect there. However,
you know when people tell me that I look like
a lesbian from the seventies, Rob, that makes me laugh

(01:00:54):
because that's such a specific vibe. Right.

Speaker 7 (01:00:59):
I didn't meet my first lesbian until college probably. I'm
sure I went to high school with girls who loved
other girls, but I didn't know them. This was Catholic school,
after all.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
You would have been whipped about the head, neck and
chest had that word gotten out.

Speaker 11 (01:01:16):
So to.

Speaker 7 (01:01:18):
To specify a nineteen seventies lesbian. That's a flex.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
They do that now, don't they call themselves lesbos?

Speaker 7 (01:01:32):
All on the flats has too many, too many shooters
hanging out at night. That's across the river. That's the
MGK spot, right.

Speaker 8 (01:01:39):
Oh was he just referring to that news story from
last But somebody gets shot a few months ago.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
There's somebody unloaded.

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
Oh yeah, but that always happens. I mean, that's what
you're gonna have. You're gonna have any area where there's
a lot of people. This stuff's gonna pop off. You
just hope that you're not in the line of fire.

Speaker 8 (01:01:56):
It happened right down here over the summer, remember next
the House of Blues somebody, Yeah, yeah, I mean it happens.
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 17 (01:02:04):
Not?

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Then it's a city?

Speaker 17 (01:02:06):
Dave?

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
Are you worried about gunfire in the flats? Dave? What
happens when you hear gunfire?

Speaker 14 (01:02:12):
Whoa?

Speaker 13 (01:02:14):
Oh? Oh that home run in?

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Are you gonna stay home and hide?

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
I live my life like this.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
Go tomorrow, rye Jesus, dude, I got it. I got it.
You live your life like there's no tomorrow. It's a
good way to live. I'll tell you all about it.
I think you just did really, really dumb.

Speaker 7 (01:02:45):
So oh, I heard from one of our Chicago bureau chiefs.
We're well repped there in the Windy City, and he said, what,
his friend is going to be on RuPaul's drag Race
and wanted me to Oh, my buddy is going to
be on Rue Paul's drag race this season. This person says,

(01:03:06):
this is Jason, who hits me up his buddy is
gonna be on Rue Paul's drag race.

Speaker 8 (01:03:14):
Drag name is Discord Adams. I don't get it, Discord Atoms.

Speaker 7 (01:03:21):
Discord Atoms started off doing Dragon Akron and then moved
to Chicago.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
Yeah, I think with respect it to Akron.

Speaker 7 (01:03:29):
I don't know what kind of burgeoning drag scene there
is there, more like getting dragged around in Akron, but yeah,
you're gonna want to go to Chicago or anywhere outside Akron.
And then said they moved to Saint Petersburg. I assume
they mean Florida, not Russia. I imagine that.

Speaker 8 (01:03:46):
Boy.

Speaker 7 (01:03:46):
If there's any place where the drag scene is worse
than Akron, Ohio, it's probably Saint Petersburg, Russia. A quick
shout out for a local queen getting some national attention.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
All right, well, there you go.

Speaker 7 (01:03:57):
Congratulations. I hope that you do well. Ru Paul's Drag Race.
I've never watched that show. I met Rue Paul very
early in my career. A nicer person you'd be hard pressed,
uh to to meet love Rue Paul, did you meet?
I met him not in drag and I met him

(01:04:19):
in drag. I had conversations with him on both sides
of that. He's very tall. You think, oh, they're tall
because they're in heels. He's very tall, just as a
guy when he's walking around in a suit, right, when
he's more gender conforming, rob he looks just as good
as he does when he's all gussied up. But I've

(01:04:43):
never seen an episode of Rue Paul's Drag Race. Now,
I think the person who won last year is from Cleveland, Ohio.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Right, we talked about that, right?

Speaker 8 (01:04:52):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:04:53):
The winner last year was the winner last year us
somebody will tell me. I don't remember, but it was
last year's winner was from Cleveland, Ohio. Anya Nerve, what
Wisha Bitchwood? Jacqueline Hyde Bella de Ball is my new one?

(01:05:19):
Anya Nerve Yeah, won the seventeenth season of Rue Paul's
Drag Race last year. Now you have to give on
your nerve credit to because they could have gone to Chicago,
didn't stayed and repped Cleveland. Canton native Justin Woody became
the first Ohioan to win Rue Paul's Drag Race based

(01:05:43):
in Cleveland. Now, if you're from Canton, you're gonna move
up to Cleveland if you don't go somewhere else. Moved
to Cleveland for college, but then you know, go on
from there. So anyway, Jason's friend is going to be
on the news. The best I can do for you,
Jason is I'll make myself a mental note. I don't

(01:06:05):
know if that will I don't know if that will
emerge as me actually watching the show, but we'll see.
Good luck to your friend. I had a message here
about Jess let me find it. People who listen on
the iHeartRadio app from all over these United States.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Had some thoughts, Hey, Allen Rob just Man.

Speaker 13 (01:06:33):
After listening to the show for me yesterday and finding
out that just thinks that Stephen Tyler is hot, I'm
thinking that if my marriage ends up on the rocks,
i still have a chance to snag a hottie because.

Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
Anyway, Oh, I.

Speaker 7 (01:06:50):
See, so he figures he's got He didn't even need
some game. If she's going for Steven Tyler and Jerry Seinfeld.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
He's right. Yes, I was gonna say, that's a huge leap.
I mean for a guy to go.

Speaker 7 (01:07:03):
I think Steven Tyler looks weird, and she thinks he's hot,
Therefore she might think I'm hot.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
I don't get the logic behind that at all. Well,
I did my.

Speaker 14 (01:07:13):
Homework last night, and I made a list of conventional
hot guys that ninety nine percent of women would think
are attractive.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
Tiny tim will give me one. Johnny Depp okay, Johnny
Depp is handsome, but he looks like he stinks, like
you know, he's probably.

Speaker 8 (01:07:35):
Does stink because his wife was leaving grumpies in the
bed beyond the rolled around in it. He doesn't shower,
you know, he smokes. He just smells like smoking pooh.

Speaker 7 (01:07:43):
And there's only so much you can cover up with
savage and sovage. You think he smells like cigarettes and balls,
cigarettes and clove, cigarettes and balls.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Yea, who else?

Speaker 8 (01:07:56):
John Travolta, Okay, John Travolta now Travolta. You're talking like,
but you notice she's still in the same age group, right,
She's like, Oh, here's some conventionally attractive guys, but.

Speaker 14 (01:08:13):
She's still going for the old dudes. I got all
the Johns covered. John bon Jovi, he's hot, He's still hot.

Speaker 8 (01:08:21):
He looks like someone's aunt, Yes, he does. You look
at his haircut and everything else. He looks just like
somebody's aunt.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
Maybe that's her thing as guys who look like someone's aunt.
Maybe good thing. I'm taking rob that hair all right?
And then oh.

Speaker 14 (01:08:42):
No, so the villain from Tombstone, the guy in the
red shirt, Michael Bean oh powers Booth. I don't know
what his name is, but he wears the red shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Was Johnny Ringo or something or just watched Tombstone last week?

Speaker 8 (01:08:58):
And then all the guys actually in tombs Howard's Booth
was the guy in the red shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
He's been dead for a few years now too. He
was a great actor.

Speaker 14 (01:09:05):
But he had a good mustache. They all had good mustache. Yeah,
and then you know the top one. All women would agree,
Stephen Tyler.

Speaker 7 (01:09:16):
God, yeah, like nineteen eighty one. But even then, that's
a girl. He had a girl haircut done.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
No, I know talk about things shutting down.

Speaker 7 (01:09:27):
By the way, Disney announced that they're shutting down the
Arrowsmith roller coaster. Who knew there was an Arrowsmith roller
coaster but barely It's been there for twenty six years.

Speaker 8 (01:09:37):
Yeah, is it rock and Roll Express? So yeah, the
rock and Roller coaster, rock and roller coaster.

Speaker 7 (01:09:41):
Yeah, it's going to reopen next summer with the Muppets
band at the forefront. A quarter century of Arrowsmith at
Hollywood Studios in Orlando. I've been there and I didn't
see the Arrowsmith roller coaster.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
I ran to it when I want Is that true?
You goofing? You know he was going to be there
are No, Yeah, I was hoping. Yeah. Wow, the Aerosmith
Rock and roller coaster.

Speaker 7 (01:10:08):
So that was probably like a destination situation for you,
like we've got to go to the Aerosmith road.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
No, I went by myself.

Speaker 14 (01:10:15):
I want my marching band in like eighth grade, wow,
and that was the one thing I wanted to do.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
No one would go with me.

Speaker 7 (01:10:21):
So even in the eighth grade, Yeah, you were like
Steven Tyler's my guy.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
He was my phone background for years. Huh.

Speaker 4 (01:10:29):
I wonder why.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
I don't know, he's just hot. I mean, are you
particularly a fan of their music? Yeah? I love okay,
I love her okay. Oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:10:39):
The ride opened in nineteen ninety nine, the Rock and
Roller Coaster, and it will be closed and overhauled for
the Muppets Electric Mayhem, which really does make more sense.
I can't believe there was ever an Arrowsmith roller coaster.
Oh yeah, it's been there for a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Yeah, twenty five years.

Speaker 8 (01:11:00):
Oh I've never been honest, but I didn't know it
was there because they do like the video intro and
everything to it, and all the music is theirs throughout
the entire ride.

Speaker 14 (01:11:10):
Well, they had to change the video intro because he
did something like vile with his hands or something.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Yeah, you just switch it stuck him down a fourteen
year old coinslock. Well, and they're like, oh and he's
old now, so we probably should update that.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
The one cock show on one hundred point seven.

Speaker 11 (01:11:30):
Called the Alan Cox Show, and then the radio started playing,
which made it the worse.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
It made it more bizarre.

Speaker 12 (01:11:36):
Two one six seven eight one double seven or one
eight three four eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 7 (01:12:16):
I heard from Melanie and Parma Heights earlier since you
put this on her playlist and every time it pops up,
rob she goes, everything gets ten times better.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
It's so good. I couldn't agree more.

Speaker 7 (01:12:29):
Jimmy bow Horn the one hit the guy had Dance
across the floor.

Speaker 8 (01:12:36):
Three.

Speaker 7 (01:12:37):
You want to send a text? Alan is just single?
Or did her man move here with her?

Speaker 14 (01:12:47):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
Single?

Speaker 11 (01:12:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
Answer that question?

Speaker 7 (01:12:53):
Uh huh dot dot dot fell ass backwards into that question. Yes, year,
hell and I rode the Aerosmith roller coaster last month.
The memorabilia on display while you're waiting in line is
way cool in the ride itself? Well, yeah, I mean
how cool is a ride gonna be of any stripe?

Speaker 14 (01:13:15):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
And you go to an amusement park, Oh, that ride's cool.

Speaker 7 (01:13:19):
They're all cool. You're even if a ride sucks, you're
on it for forty five seconds.

Speaker 8 (01:13:23):
Someone in the chat said Stephen Tyler and Carly Simon
have never been seen in the same room together, so
maybe there's something to that.

Speaker 7 (01:13:29):
Oh boy, what do you think that's why j T
was a Heroin Addict He's like, oh my god, I've
been paying Steven Tyler the year God dam crap.

Speaker 8 (01:13:38):
And someone also told you to look up Bruce Springsteen
present day Jess. That is a hot older man. Yeah,
he's keeping it pretty tight.

Speaker 7 (01:13:46):
I mean, listen, Bruce Springsteen might be seventy something, but
the guy's running around on stage for four hours a night,
so no wonder he's keeping a toy.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 14 (01:13:56):
Eh.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
No, Ellen, I'm only thirty years old, and I think
Steven Tyler is so hot.

Speaker 10 (01:14:05):
Hm.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
You know who else has a thing for Steven Tyler?

Speaker 8 (01:14:09):
Just found out something new from our very own Jen
but Chunnel, co host of Margol five point seven. Well
all right, yeah, she said, I'm not sure who Jess
is because they haven't met yet. And she says, but
I already want to be her friend. I love Steven
Tyler I always have. And I replied, dear christ she said, figure,
you already questioned my taste, but Aerosmith is my favorite band,

(01:14:30):
hands down, which I can respect.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
I can.

Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
I can take that. I don't understand the hot Stephen
Tyler park poll get it? Hmm? Well, you know what
does a lid for every pot? It doesn't matter what
we think, it's true.

Speaker 7 (01:14:44):
As long as she thinks everybody has an opinion, he's
something to look at and by the way, she's not
some Jenny come lately since eighth grade or whenever.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
Right after she broke up with Chad Kroger, she fell
in love with him.

Speaker 7 (01:14:57):
After the jig was up that she wasn't missus j
Jessica Ann Kroger.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
Huh word got around.

Speaker 7 (01:15:03):
People were pointing too many fingers, and she had to
come up with something, and she landed on Stephen talers
Hot too and everybody the faces.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
That they made at her. What and that Jerry Seinfeld,
he's a looker black and white cockie believe yeah. Uh,
Rob was trying to find his drag name. You know
we had already pulled out on your nerve.

Speaker 7 (01:15:26):
Of course one RuPaul's drag race last year from Cleveland, Ohio,
originally for Canon, and then we heard from a listener
there whose friend has just gone to Chicago and is
going to be on the next season. I don't understand
the drag name, though I know they don't all have
to be punny. They don't they usually are, And I
didn't understand discord atoms. But and then of course I

(01:15:48):
you are are our friend Cody Poundcake Brown used to
wish of bitch Wood.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
That's that's my favorite.

Speaker 7 (01:15:53):
My daughter came up with Jacqueline Hyde. I use Bella
de ball. Uh you know Rob when I so frequently
dressed in drag. Yep, Oh, I've got the hair for it.
Did the generator give you a name?

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
So this answers?

Speaker 8 (01:16:07):
There's a ton of questions that I had to answer,
and then it just asked my first name, and I
just typed in rop and I swear and I only
say all of that because the name it gave me
is so on brand for this show.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
Wait, what were all the questions that you had to ask?

Speaker 8 (01:16:19):
It was like, how do you fancy yourself in like
a friend group? Who are you in your friend group?
I'm mad living? Do you work in an office? Like
just a whole bunch of random questions about you as
a person.

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):
And then.

Speaker 8 (01:16:33):
I typed in my name, yeah, and it pops up
for my drag name, Phoebe Monroe Monroe, I swear to God,
And I felt like I had to give all of
that back information so people didn't think I typed that
in as my name, because to give it that with
this background on the show Monroe doesn't seem possible.

Speaker 7 (01:16:58):
Phoebe Monroe, Alan don't you mean springstring. Yeah, that's what
Dick from Dayton calls him, Bruce Springstring. We were playing
some Bruce Springstring songs. Chad Kroger, somebody says snagged Avril Levine.
I can't be much more proud of a guy who
can do that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
Who did?

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Chad?

Speaker 7 (01:17:15):
Avril Levine were briefly married. I assume that was them
trauma bonding over being Canadian. But listen, she's lovely. You
want to feel old. Avril Levine is forty, so you
should really. Oh yeah, they'll put some steam in your stride. Yeah,
but still, you know, lovely and sounds good and I
guess the music holds up. She's forty one, in fact,

(01:17:36):
just turned forty one end of September, and uh, Chad
crow she was originally Again, I I don't know how
much credence I'd put in her taste because she was
initially married to that dude from some forty one who
looks like he's repeatedly fallen on his face. But again,
Canadian trauma bonding mate. What's that dude's name, Derek Wier

(01:17:59):
from some forty one. Yeah, Chad Kroger is just a
decade older than Avril Levine. That's a big deal. That'sought
some crazy thing. Are they no longer together? No, they
were marriage for two years and then I think it
was hot and heavy and then they split. I think
it was amicable, and I think he's say kids involved
or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
I always had a thing for Avril Levine.

Speaker 7 (01:18:20):
Well, she has a very young face. She has like
a little girl's face to me, and that's hard to
get past. Like Selena Gomez is a grown ass woman,
but she has kept the face that she's had since
she was a child actress, and I have a hard
time getting around that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
Yeah, I don't know that that's lovely people, but I mean,
you know, there was the uh A girlfriend.

Speaker 8 (01:18:43):
Video I think is probably the one that don't know
that I don't remember her, okay, because my buddy, remember
my friend worked for TRL. Yes, he was the host
of that show. So I used to watch TRL as
a mid twenties guy. So again I wasn't the demo Damien,
who are we talking about? Yeah, I was watching because
he he was on, So I was like, well, let's
you know. And then so I saw these videos in
my twenties and I probably would not have seen otherwise

(01:19:05):
and I was like, damn, half was pretty cute.

Speaker 7 (01:19:08):
Well, the channel that my daughter likes when I take
her to school in the morning, and granted that's like
a six minute trip, but still they play a lot
of like skater Boy, and you know, they played that
Afril Levine stuff and my daughter's full tilt boogie on
the pop punk stuff and you throw a female in
there and she's she's all a boot it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
I can quote Afril Levine, all about it, all about it. Hey, Ethan, Hey,
what's up, bud Ell? How you feeling. How's the finger?

Speaker 10 (01:19:36):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
Dude, it's super broken. It hurts so bad. Did you
break the whole finger? No, the one next to it? Yeah,
he did it bad.

Speaker 10 (01:19:48):
No. So the other day you guys had the video
of the uh the little kid or telling the story
it thinks hitting knocking the table.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Over and all the food and everything was ruined.

Speaker 10 (01:19:57):
Right, So got me thinking about my childhood and growing
up and my dad. He was a bit of a
wild man. Kind of paint the picture here this guy looked.
I mean, it couldn't have been a better picture of
Ned Flanders, big stupid mushtash, the hormone glasses, the whole thing.
But he was a bit of a drinker.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
Ethan. Let me stop you right there. I've already told
the story. Yeah, go ahead, I've already told the story.
I started the show with it. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:20:29):
Oh I.

Speaker 18 (01:20:31):
Totally missed it.

Speaker 10 (01:20:31):
But I just saw you emailed me back and said
go ahead and say it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
Yeah I want.

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
I wanted to double check with him that it was
something that I could mention. Now I did paraphrase. I
didn't read your email verbatim. I basically said that your
dad looked like stupid sexy Flanders and then he liked
to tie one on and then he ended up he
ended up body slamming the Christmas tree. Now fill me
in on the immediate aftermath of that.

Speaker 10 (01:20:57):
Oh, buddy, that's probably fast out to get the hell
away from him.

Speaker 3 (01:21:01):
Yeah, he was a puncher. Now do you have siblings, Ethan?

Speaker 10 (01:21:05):
And I apologize, I do so.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (01:21:08):
So dad had five marriages, and each marriage he had
a different child.

Speaker 3 (01:21:13):
This is a guy. Oh really, your dad liked to
get hitched and leave it in and split. He was
good at a lot of things, being married was not
one of them. Where are you in the birth order?

Speaker 10 (01:21:26):
So I'm the youngest by about fifteen years. My sisters
and my brothers are all about your age. Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:21:35):
Wow, you know Rob the way he tells that, it's
instructive and also helps to make me feel old.

Speaker 3 (01:21:40):
So you know, well done.

Speaker 7 (01:21:42):
Okay, So you're the fifth of five and your dad
and you all have different moms.

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
Correct. Yeah, I was adopted at birth.

Speaker 10 (01:21:52):
My mother had some issues that went on and wasn't
able to have children, so they adopted.

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
You rate at birth. Oh wait, so your ad is
your adoptive father? Correct? Gotcha?

Speaker 10 (01:22:04):
My mom and dad both told me from the very beginning,
so I never met my real parents.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
I don't know anything about them. Okay, understood, these people
are my parents. Gotcha. That's pretty solid too.

Speaker 4 (01:22:15):
Man.

Speaker 8 (01:22:15):
You already got four kids, four different baby mamas, and
you're like, you know what, let's adopt another one.

Speaker 3 (01:22:19):
Yeah, let's think that's another one. He's not even Vietnamese,
and this guy went all in.

Speaker 7 (01:22:24):
I think that's awesome about that. Do you get is
your mom still around? Do you get along with her?

Speaker 10 (01:22:31):
I do, and she's she's getting up there in age
and her health is failing. It's actually why I came
back to this area from from Cleveland, otherwise I'd be there.
I'm ye, wait, more fun than Better Town. Wow, better
than Rochester, New York.

Speaker 12 (01:22:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:22:46):
Oh by yeah all right, well listen, it's still a
great story, ethan. Even if I got to it first,
I appreciate it.

Speaker 8 (01:22:52):
Hey, we were We were also talking about the picture
that I found of me mooning Margeritaville, and you were there, buddy,
you don't have a picture on your phone in my hole?

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Dude, yes, so let me tell you. So.

Speaker 10 (01:23:05):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
I was pretty tuned up by that point of the day.
Uh huh.

Speaker 10 (01:23:10):
And I kicked myself in the ass more times than
I can think about, because I wish I did have
that picture. I was just going to show up with it,
like on a T shirt at an event or something.

Speaker 3 (01:23:18):
And just see if you noticed. Oh I would notice.
I thought I was scrolling through pictures on my phone.

Speaker 8 (01:23:22):
I'm like, oh my god, like I like, you know,
I normally you do something like that, like you drop
it an inch or two, you know what I mean?
Like I was, I was down and again I was
thirty pounds heavier, man, I was. I was looking to
see if you could see my whole bray, know.

Speaker 4 (01:23:35):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 7 (01:23:36):
Then shows up with a T shirt like, what is
that the Sarlac from Return of the Jedi?

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
What didn't I knock Boba fet into that?

Speaker 13 (01:23:44):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
All right, well your sure what's going on there? The
good news is I have the I have the only copy.

Speaker 7 (01:23:49):
Then I guess right, that explains the Bona Feed action
figure in his underwear. Yeah, all right, good, thank you,
Ethan care, thank you dude. We're catching a mid on
I think had a long day. That he's had a
long day. You want some Brian?

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (01:24:07):
We were talking about how the only two people that
I could recall, even though I'm sure it's not an
exhaustive list, but the two people who come to mind
who were able to rock those circular glasses, which I
don't think is a great look, but John Lennon and
Ozzie did it famously. Ozzie would have been seventy seven
years old today. Somebody else said Prince. We were talking
about the Prince used to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:24:28):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
I don't know if Brian heard this and that's what
spurred him to try his hand at some prints, but
he called me with darling nicky, Oh geez right, that's
a swing. Yeah, now.

Speaker 7 (01:24:41):
Of course, as is the case with all of these submissions,
he really does make it his own, and so sometimes
you get the lyrics and sometimes you don't.

Speaker 9 (01:24:50):
She took me to her castle. I just couldn't believe
my eyes. She had some realy officess Society name the time.
I'm light But that's all little.

Speaker 5 (01:25:08):
Right.

Speaker 7 (01:25:08):
Of course Nicky started to grind. Would have been the lyrics, right,
That's the whole point of the song. She's a freak,
not cry, not cry little Nikky, Darling Nicky, not Adam Sandler.
Darling what a terrible, terrible be's a crap movie?

Speaker 12 (01:25:26):
That was?

Speaker 7 (01:25:26):
With respect? You never hear that song again, yeah, Darling Nicky.
Of course the Food Fighters covered it too, that's great.

Speaker 3 (01:25:35):
Many many years ago Foo Fighters did a great version
of Darling Nicky for one of their like B side
albums or something that Fighters call me up Ladies and gentlemen.

(01:25:55):
But I think Brian was covering Prince not Foo Fighters.

Speaker 9 (01:26:00):
Meet your Castle. I just couldn't believe my eyes. Some
badly of ices a minute society name the time.

Speaker 8 (01:26:19):
Song question, yeh wow, wown't gotta be what what do
you think? Top five most underrated guitar players of all
time in Prince.

Speaker 3 (01:26:35):
Ah, you could make that case. I think enough people
saw him shred at a couple of flash points in
pop culture where they were like, oh my god, this
guy's amazing.

Speaker 8 (01:26:45):
I mean when you mentioned the list, nobody's putting him
on their top twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
I think he's just always overlooked.

Speaker 12 (01:26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:26:51):
I guess if people are talking about like Mark Notot
flur And and e Van Halen, yeah, people aren't thinking
of Prince.

Speaker 8 (01:26:57):
Yeah, guy was incredible, made everybody look stupid, that rock
and roll Hall of Fame thing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:02):
Yeah, But Purple Rain is one of my favorite movies
of all time. It's great love. Purple Rain commends yourself
in the water is a lake minute tonka, that's not
lake minute tonka. Oh my god.

Speaker 7 (01:27:15):
The crush that I had along with everybody else on applone,
Oh my god, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3 (01:27:20):
That's when I fell in love with Morris Day in
the time man. And I'll tell you what.

Speaker 7 (01:27:23):
Prince would find these women and they'd get their freak on,
and then they all found Jesus one by one. Vanity
did it Apploni. I think Vanity's gone now, but Prince
is gone. All these people found Jesus. I don't know
why anybody just can't have a great time and be
a libertine and a freak and a full on hedonist
and just keep it going.

Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
I don't necessarily mean drugs.

Speaker 7 (01:27:44):
You know, obviously plenty of people have cast off their
mortal coil from drugs I'm talking about. I don't know
why these people who are partial to sins of the
flesh always got to go and find JC Lurkin.

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
It's like, just ride that out, man, I know age
probably he plays into it too, you know, Apollonia once
she had fifty, She's like, didn't Lisa Lisa come from
that too? Prince? Wasn't she part of that Lisa Lisa
and cult Jam? The cult Jam?

Speaker 8 (01:28:12):
I don't know about that. I think he wrote some
stuff for her or something. There was some connection with them.

Speaker 7 (01:28:18):
I think maybe he. I don't know that she was
one of his, like she wasn't the revolution, but no,
but I thought there was something. There was probably some connection.

Speaker 8 (01:28:27):
So the first thing when you mentioned that, when you
started talking about Appolana, why she popped into my.

Speaker 7 (01:28:30):
Head because there were well they all kind of had
a similar look too, right, But there were a lot
of people that thought that Sheila E was one of
a prince's women too, And she was like, oh no, no,
I come from a very highly regarded musical family at
Escavito family.

Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
Boy, Sheila. That was another one, and she was a drummer.
I'm like, are you kidding? Meaning glamorous life? Oh my god,
Oh I had such a rod for Sheila E.

Speaker 4 (01:28:51):
Beeck and Ellen Carr show on one of it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:00):
You know that part of your brain that regulates good
decision making.

Speaker 4 (01:29:04):
Thanks for turning that one off and turning on the
Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
Sorry about all the cock, Sorry about all the cocks.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
WMMS two one six five seven eight one double o

that happens. The Cats are at home all week through Saturday.
The Clippers rather are cutting Chris Paul.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
Early.

Speaker 7 (01:30:05):
This guy had already said that he was going to
call it a career. He's played for everybody, right, Yeah,
he's long in the tooth. Friend of mine works for
the Clippers and she's livid. She thinks it was a
real bush league move to do this. Basically, the middle
of the night, the Clippers are like, we're gonna cut
Chris Paul because you know, he was getting pretty outspoken

(01:30:28):
about the fact that the Clippers organization ain't a great organization.
And you know, this was not long after they had
posted no shortage of kind of sappy. I don't know
if the Sarah McLachlan adopted dog music was in there,
but it was, you know, pretty close to that. He's

(01:30:49):
going to end his Hall of Fame career in a
Clipper uniform.

Speaker 8 (01:30:52):
The humbling experience and grateful and thankful to be here,
to be able to play this game, and I love.

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
Well, you know, I'm in a Clipper uniform.

Speaker 7 (01:31:09):
Hasn't he played for a lot of teams, Paul, Yeah,
he's made the rounds and uh, they essentially cut him
in the middle of the night. Well, the posts that
I'm coming home, but also like, wouldn't they just let
him retire as a Clipper.

Speaker 3 (01:31:27):
Because I think something. I think he got into it
with a coach or something he did. He's like, this
is this organization ain't great.

Speaker 7 (01:31:34):
But it's like, okay, the guy's almost out because Tylu
former Cabs coach. Ty Lou is the coach the Clippers.
Thesoon tight and he's been there for a minute, and uh,
the Clippers are doing Chris Paul dirty here. He and
Tylu weren't on speaking terms.

Speaker 6 (01:31:54):
But so what.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
Yeah, I mean that's and that's not great if you're
trying to be a ballplayer.

Speaker 7 (01:32:00):
Well that's that's got to be the organization obviously siding
with ty Loo. But Tyron Lou, who used to live
a few blocks for me when he was here, he
was living on the Lake rob in a hospital sized
house and I was living blocks south in a much
more modest domicile. But he refused to meet with Chris

(01:32:23):
Paul over some allegations that Chris Paul was making, saying
that he didn't care for the leadership style there. Chris
Paul had been very vocal in holding management, coaches and
players accountable, and the team thought that it was getting
too disruptive. And so they cut him middle of the night,

(01:32:43):
and so I don't know what that means. I mean,
he was going to retire already. Why not just let
the guy do that?

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
Just go all right? Well, you know, why cut him?

Speaker 8 (01:32:54):
The last three years he's been in a different city.
I mean he started with New Orleans than he did.
He was with the Clippers in Houston for two years,
Oklahoma City for a year, Phoenix for four one with
with Golden State, one with San Antonio, and then back
to the Clippers for this year.

Speaker 4 (01:33:09):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
Hall of Fame career though. Man.

Speaker 7 (01:33:12):
Yeah, you know, it's not like he's gonna disappear. Yeah,
but his first round with the Clippers was a pretty
good stretch.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:33:20):
Oh yeah, Hey was there like six years, six seven years,
and he was with New Orleans when they were sold
the Hornets pellic six seven. Uh they're the New Orleans
NBA team of course is the uh they're the Pelicans now, Yes,
I think I'm I think I nailed that. And so yeah,
they cut him loose, or as the coach referred to it,

(01:33:42):
cut him loo.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
Is his name? That sucks?

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
Hey, I heard.

Speaker 7 (01:33:50):
I heard from d Rock was one of our bureau
chiefs down there in the great state of Texas. He's
in al Paso. Got himself a new gig recently, so congrats.
But he sent me a piece of video here, and
his email said, you know, if Rob could just gain
sixty pounds, boy, you're all over the place, Rob, you
Rob has dropped a considerable amount of weight at the

(01:34:10):
behest of a random guy in the frozen food section
at Giant Eagle some months ago who told him that
if he lost a considerable amount of weight, he would
resemble Browns coach Kevin Stefanski.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
And how how have you been doing it?

Speaker 13 (01:34:25):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
Mentality Health?

Speaker 8 (01:34:27):
Oh yeah, you can find them online at mentalityhealth dot
com slash radio and tell.

Speaker 3 (01:34:31):
Him Rob such it. It sounds so convenient, it's amazing.

Speaker 7 (01:34:34):
Well, d Rock thinks you should put on sixty pounds
and then you'd look like the singer for this band, which,
best as I can tell, is just a Filipino led
Zeppelin cover band.

Speaker 3 (01:34:45):
All right, right, so it's sixty pounds on me, I'd
look Filipino. They're doing black Dog here, Yeah, MoveOn, go on. Oh,
I want to make a joke so bad. I want
to make a joke so bad. I got to make
a joke so bad.

Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
Joke.

Speaker 3 (01:35:06):
I want to make a joke so bad. I'm going
to take a step back.

Speaker 8 (01:35:10):
Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing technical difficult What color
is that dog out?

Speaker 14 (01:35:15):
I want that?

Speaker 3 (01:35:19):
I want to make it could.

Speaker 5 (01:35:25):
As were my brain return to a regularly scheduled program momentarily,
Please stay tuned.

Speaker 3 (01:35:32):
And it's the joke that the Rock made and his email,
but I won't make it. I won't want Rock made it.
You're casting. She's making his joke.

Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
I would be making a version of my own joke,
but according to him, you would resemble this. Yeah, because
you're missing sixty pounds.

Speaker 3 (01:35:56):
You know this guy's not your Portuguese the Bobby Lee.
He looks like me.

Speaker 13 (01:36:06):
Lee.

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
I mean, every possible permutation of joke would kill And
it's do you want that way?

Speaker 7 (01:36:20):
I like in their practice space, there's just a pot
bellied pig walk there. I think that's what that is.

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
I'm also wondering if he's the man is called the
Young Wolf. I don't know if there a Zeppelin cover band,
but they definitely like these guys. They're called the Young Wolf.

Speaker 8 (01:36:33):
I'm just wondering if he's if he's fully grasping the
English language too, because it sounds like he's playing loose.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
We've got a very thick accent, of course, but listen,
this is proof. Yeah, he looks like that Greek comic and.

Speaker 8 (01:36:50):
Like they had a kid together, and that dude from
the Bear all the tattoos, Oh Maddie. Yeah, who's started
in a punk band? I mean it's so hard, I'm
biting my tongue.

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
But music transcends culture. Rob, you can sing, Ain't no
doubt about that anyway.

Speaker 7 (01:37:18):
That's the courtesy of d rock down there in El Paso.
If only I'm gonna give them a follow, it's like
a plea if only Rob would gain sixty pounds.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
I'm not gonna do that for you, man.

Speaker 8 (01:37:29):
Sorry, might be like the front man for the band
The Young Wolf. I am sorry. I will not gain
sixty pounds for you.

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
Good for you. I'm not gaining five pounds for anyone.
By the way, why go backward after you've gone forward
so much?

Speaker 8 (01:37:42):
You know, yeah, sneaking up on thirty five? Good for you, yeah, man,
and still a ways to go. That's the crazy part.
That's when you know you were fat. I went back,
and I was looking at pictures the other day. You
don't see it every day when it's yourself, you know,
And I'm like, have I really lost weight? Like I
know that the scale says so. And I looked at
pictures of the day I moved Caitlin in to mount

(01:38:04):
and I'm like, O, God, like I was fat.

Speaker 3 (01:38:09):
Well that was old Rob, that new Rob and that
was only August. It's a velt. That's why you need
to reach out to mentalityhealth dot com if you would
like to start your journey today, because gosh, that's only
what four months.

Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
But I also think that people in general think that
it takes a long time to lose weight. And obviously
it's more difficult for some people than others. And obviously
you are on a very specific program, but just in general,
it doesn't take as long as some people think it's
gonna take. No, it takes an incredible amount of discipline, obviously,

(01:38:42):
but everybody's.

Speaker 3 (01:38:43):
Got some of that for something. You know, people are like, oh,
I'm just not disciplined.

Speaker 7 (01:38:48):
Well, I bet there's something you are disciplined about, though,
I think everybody's To me, it's just a matter of
what is important to you and some people, if something's
really important to them, they'll have discipline for them.

Speaker 3 (01:39:00):
It's just a matter of pivoting that toward this.

Speaker 8 (01:39:03):
Well, you think about time the same way people think
about spending money, right, Like it's so easy to go
out and spend one hundred and fifty dollars at dinner
with like a bunch of people, right, and then at
the same time, I'm like, oh, I can't buy that
shirt that's one hundred dollars. It's so stupid and short
sighted when you think of it. I'm you have the
shirt for ten years. You know you're gonna have dinner
for one night, and I can't do that. So it's

(01:39:24):
the same thing with weight loss. When you're like, oh, dude,
that's gonna that's it, it's like six months, it's gonna
take me to do it. Took you years to get
into the shape you're in now, Like, just do something
about it. It's a short amount of time and you
start seeing results fast. It's like, you know, two three months,
you're like, oh, this sweatshirt fits me.

Speaker 15 (01:39:41):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
It's also consistency, you know what I mean. There's memes
online and we all fall prey to it, especially with
the end of the year coming up in the beginning
of the subsequent one, people make their resolutions, but there's
memes where they're like, you know, here's me on December
thirty first, and they're kind of chubby. Here's what I
think I should look like on January first, and they're
all shredded, right, you know, everybody's got that in their brain.
But consistency is, man, it goes a long way. In

(01:40:05):
ninety days is nothing. We're all adults, man, you know
how fast the year goes by. You know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (01:40:09):
Like, if you could completely change your life in ninety days,
why wouldn't you want to do that?

Speaker 4 (01:40:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:40:14):
I was.

Speaker 3 (01:40:15):
I was a lazy ass. That's why I never did it.
I was just never committed to it.

Speaker 7 (01:40:19):
Well, and you live a very opulent lifestyle. You've got
your opulent you live a very opulent lifestyle. You've got
your caviar budget, and you've got your you know it
is very rich, luxurious or lavish. This is what I'm saying.
You've got that kind of vibe going on. Jess isn't

(01:40:41):
living like that. I'm not living like that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:44):
How do you know how Jess is living?

Speaker 8 (01:40:45):
How do you know she's not just do you have
a caviar budget? No, I got a sig bugget budget.
So she spends more money a month on cigarettes than yeah,
popping darts left and right.

Speaker 3 (01:40:55):
Boy, Yeah, what do you smoke? What's your brand? Marlboro
twenty seven?

Speaker 8 (01:40:59):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
Sirt of cigarettes? Is that like the old Marlborough light? No,
it's like or is it the shorts? Are those the short?

Speaker 14 (01:41:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:41:08):
No, those are seventy two. I was gonna say twenty
sevens are like old school reds, right, I don't know. Oh,
you just like them? Make the reds right them? It
a red smoker.

Speaker 7 (01:41:17):
It's a premium cigarette, rob offering a harmonious balance of
smoothness and richness. It must be one of the hardest
jobs in marketing to try to make cigarettes sound classy.

Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
That must be tough. Boy, it's dessert smooth, rich and mellow.

Speaker 4 (01:41:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:41:35):
I think it's like this is this is like the
cigarette between the light and the red right, Like it's
it's kind of a It's not as strong as a red,
but it's not as.

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
Light as a light. Why do you call it the
dessert cigarette? Does the flavor notes? Flavor favor notes?

Speaker 8 (01:41:48):
Wow? I thought smoke. I thought it was all smoke. No,
they all taste different. Really, So you've.

Speaker 7 (01:41:54):
Really run the gamut that would you consider yourself a
seasoned smoker?

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
Yeah, because you're a young You're only twenty six, I know,
but I've smoked for a lot of years.

Speaker 7 (01:42:03):
Like since you were a teenager. Yeah, that's a dumb question.
I met like twelve, thirteen, fourteen. When did you start smoking?

Speaker 3 (01:42:10):
Uh? Probably sixteen, Oh my gosh, sixteen or seventeen.

Speaker 7 (01:42:15):
I remember when my I'm the only one of my
siblings who doesn't smoke, So anytime I can't find my
siblings were all hanging out, they're all in the garage
or the driveway smoking. And I remember when my brother
who was younger than me, my middle brother, fifteen months
younger than me. I remember when we were at the store.
I was sixteen, he was fifteen. This was back when
you really didn't get carted that much, as I recall,

(01:42:39):
and or maybe he knew the person.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
I don't know what it was.

Speaker 7 (01:42:42):
I remember when he bought his first pack of cigarettes
and I was like, don't start this. Because my parents
had both smoked before I was born, right, my dad
was in the military. He started smoking when he was
like twelve, you know, because he grew up in Alabama
and he was and then my mom, God bless her
as a young wife.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
She thought, and this is quintessential Bonnie Cox. Her thought was, well,
your dad, I know how to get your dad to
stop smoking. He loves me so much that if he
sees me smoking, he'll stop. How'd that work out?

Speaker 7 (01:43:19):
She went to four packs a day, Yeah, and she
was just smoking. She would tell me, she goes, Jesus
before you were born, because she's on an army base.
I was born, you know, at Fort Lee, Virginia. She goes,
your dad's doing stuff. I'm there all day long. Before
she had kids. She goes, I'm just sitting there lighting
one on the end of the other one. And then
she said she quit cold turkey when she got pregnant

(01:43:40):
with me. I think my dad still smoked until.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
My brother was born. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:43:44):
I don't know the timeline, but everyone in my family
at one time or another other than me, has smoked
cigarettes regularly.

Speaker 3 (01:43:52):
And your siblings all still smoke, right, They all still smoked.

Speaker 7 (01:43:54):
When my brother bought his first pack of cigarettes, it
was like camel unfiltered or something right, like you're picking
leaves out of you teeth.

Speaker 3 (01:44:00):
He went right for it. Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like,
you don't know anything, You're just trying to look cool.
And I get it. Irrespective of what your parents tell you, kids,
you do look super cool. Smoking.

Speaker 7 (01:44:10):
Nobody looks cool. Vaping nobody even the people doing it
know that they're just hooked now. But nobody looks cool
doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:44:17):
But smoking, I just I remember being in the back
seat and I was laughing about this with my brother
over Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 (01:44:24):
I go Jesus. I remember when Mike Hunt, our friend
I've talked about him before. He drove like a super
U WRX or something and he would pick us up.
My brother would ride shotgun and I'd be in the
back seat just choking out. Because these two dudes as
soon as they got out of school and got in
the car or just hot box and the whole I'm like,
oh my god, that, more than anything else, probably turned

(01:44:48):
me off to it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:48):
And again, my parents were very very you know, I
strict parents.

Speaker 7 (01:44:52):
They were very like, do as I say, not as
I do, even though neither of them were smoking when
we were alive.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
But my mom very again. Smoking parents both smoked. Smoked.

Speaker 10 (01:45:01):
Head.

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
Don't even date a smoker because then my mom once
said to me, don't even date a smoker, because then
you'll fall in love and then you'll be married to
somebody smokes. Like, boy, Mom, you're really I remember the
girl I lost my virginity to smoked, and so for
a while, she was a few years older than me.
For a while, I had like this Pavlovian response to
cigarette smoke, get a boneer every time you say yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:45:21):
Because I remember making out with her and she tasted
like cigarettes. And at first I was like, eh, you know,
kizzling a smokers like licking the last.

Speaker 3 (01:45:27):
Tray sounds like Forrest Gump, right, taste cigarettes. But then
I was like, I got into it. We didn't last long,
but yeah, I just I didn't smoke. Now, you know,
I started smoking weed and all that, but I don't.
I don't mean that. I mean people who go buy
cigarettes smoke them, buy more, you know, and they ain't cheap.
It never was my biggest reason. They never were cheat.

(01:45:48):
What's a pack now, Jess? It's like twelve? Oh my right.
But when I moved to Chicago, that was a culture shock.
To me, they're like fourteen dollars, twenty dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:45:57):
Yea.

Speaker 7 (01:45:58):
I remember when they went to nine about in the
day and everybody, because that was the thought. People were like, oh,
when they go to nine, I'm quitting. Oh when they
go to ten, I'm quitting. I'm like, you don't understand
how this works? Do you like you're addicted?

Speaker 3 (01:46:09):
Legit? It's hard. Of course, I get it. That's why
I never wanted to start. But they tastes soaked. How
much do you smoke? I don't want to admit that.
All right, Well you're halfway there, you know. Just take
a guess.

Speaker 8 (01:46:23):
I would guess around. I'm gonna say a two packs
a day, not two one. I can't afford that.

Speaker 3 (01:46:28):
You're a pack that one? Yeah, how many are in
a pack? Twenty twenty? So you smoke twenty a day?

Speaker 4 (01:46:33):
Hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:46:34):
Okay. Now, Wendy, are you you like waken Waken bake?

Speaker 4 (01:46:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:46:38):
Oh yeah, with a cup of coffee. It's great. Okay,
that is the best cigarette. I will say.

Speaker 14 (01:46:42):
In the wintertime, I do cut back a lot because
it's just too cold. And the saying is smokers don't
get cold. That's a lie.

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
Well, yeah, you still get cold freezing you mean because
you gotta stand outside and smoke. Yeah, And I mean
I could smoke it in like under a minute if
I really tried. Do you smoke it all the way
down to the filter? Are you like a half a
butt smoker? I mean by the time like there's like
two puffs left? Probably okay?

Speaker 8 (01:47:04):
And those aren't the shorts, right, those are full sized
length cigarette, so you're choking them down. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
You don't have like a holder though, and make it
a classy Oh, I should totally invest in one of those, yeah,
Tipperrillo or something, you know, old school with the I
don't want those fingers to smell sea. No, I mean
I like my fingers to smell roub and not like.

Speaker 7 (01:47:30):
Anyway, I think it is funny because again I come
at it from a position of ignorance, But I think
it is funny when people go, I like these cigarettes
because they taste better than these, and I'm like, all right,
I assume you know what you're talking about, But to me, they'll.

Speaker 3 (01:47:42):
Taste like some cigar smokers and everything else. Like they
can know I can taste the whatever.

Speaker 7 (01:47:46):
Is taste the poop iri in this one now, what
did you when you first started smoking cigarettes? I assume
you probably most people. I think they just start smoking,
like what a friend smokes. I stole my parents cigarettes.

Speaker 14 (01:48:01):
Oh so your parents smoke, yeah, camel blues because my
dad would hide him in the basement in his shirt
pocket and I'm like, I know where those are night
steal one. And then me and my fourteen year old friends,
like nine of us would huddle around smoke one cigarette.

Speaker 3 (01:48:16):
I thought we were so cool.

Speaker 7 (01:48:17):
I have a friend who's like the only white girl
I've ever met who likes menthols, those camel crushes where
you squeeze the thing in the middle and it makes
a Menthol And I.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
Was like, wow, good for you, camel blue.

Speaker 8 (01:48:30):
And that also tells us her age because I don't
think the camel blue cigarette has been around very very long.
It's been around since nineteen thirteen.

Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
Cammel has been around since nineteen thirteen. I don't think
camel lights camel blue, yeah, because yeah, I think that
camel blue is more on the I think.

Speaker 14 (01:48:49):
Those are camel lights whatever blue one is, Okay, not Menthol.

Speaker 3 (01:48:55):
That was the problem. Classy, Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:48:57):
My parents were menthol smokers. They smoked true Menthol one hundred.
They were these gigantic stick cigarettes. Yeah, and they were
horrible them down.

Speaker 7 (01:49:07):
Why is Menthol considered not classy? And I don't mean
I don't mean for the stereotype. I mean like, okay, yeah,
but are they that are they like noticeably minty?

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):
Oh yeah? Oh they are? Oh yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:49:20):
And when you take the drag, like when you take
a drag of a Menthol cigarette, it's like a like
like you're inhaling a breath mint like you get like
like when you you know, when you eat chew a
piece of garment, you eat it, you take a deep breath,
it's like you get like that that cool in your
lungs I'm talking about mm hmm. That's exactly what it's
like when you smoke a Menthol cigarette. Hit you like
a truck.

Speaker 3 (01:49:40):
Yeah. I don't like that.

Speaker 12 (01:49:43):
All.

Speaker 7 (01:49:44):
If Jess is a seasoned smoker, she shouldn't have any
sense of taste left and has to put salt on anything.

Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
She clearly has no sense of taste. She thinks Jerry
Seinfeld and uh Steven seven Tyler, Yeah, bring way. Steve
says a pack of cigarettes in Oregon is fifteen ninety nine. Wow,
it's crazy.

Speaker 8 (01:50:05):
And the last time I think I bought a pack
of cigarettes, I was with my brother and my cousin
in New York City, hammered and it was like twenty
three dollars at one of those you know, Bordega type places.
I don't know that I've ever I had no desire
to smoke. After that, I'm like, dude, like even here,
twelve bucks a pack is insane.

Speaker 7 (01:50:26):
Once or twice a year, I mentioned this before, I'll
have a cigarette. I had when at Mike Polk's wedding
when everybody was outside because there was like this courtyard
outside toward the end of the night where everybody go
outside and it was kind of chilly, and you know,
and somebody was like one of a bunch of people
stand around smoking.

Speaker 3 (01:50:40):
They're like, do you want want to go?

Speaker 9 (01:50:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:50:41):
I do want one.

Speaker 7 (01:50:42):
But it's not like I'm inhaling or anything like that. Right,
Once or twice a year in a situation like that, yeah,
I'll popa dog.

Speaker 8 (01:50:49):
I wish I could do it, man. I wish you
said if you had half a one, you'd be right
back in it. If I took a draged buy a
carton tomorrow. I love smoking cigarette.

Speaker 7 (01:50:57):
So this person says, Marlborough smooths taste to minty. I
love cigarettes. Yeah, that's the whole text.

Speaker 8 (01:51:03):
I smoked Reds for years and then like Russians Commies, yes,
Marlboro Reds, And when they would have like sales on
Camel Red and things like that, I'd buy those because
there'd be a sale.

Speaker 3 (01:51:15):
You know, you can get like a pack free or
whatever it was.

Speaker 14 (01:51:17):
Well, when I can't afford Marlborough twenty seven's, I'd go
to the Lucky Strike cause those are cheap.

Speaker 3 (01:51:22):
They're like six bucks. Still, they're not that bad.

Speaker 7 (01:51:26):
Lucky Strike. Yeah, what about what Lucky Strike means fine tobacco?

Speaker 12 (01:51:32):
Right?

Speaker 7 (01:51:32):
Wasn't that the old LSMFT back in the day that
was like the really old marketing was Lucky Strike means
fine to you know, doctor smokes and it must be good.

Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
You know, they'd have.

Speaker 8 (01:51:42):
Lucky a huge brand, man, I mean that people, that
was a massive brand of cigarette, right. I think I
just didn't stay with the with the times, you know
what I mean, Like everybody kind of flocked to Marlborough
and things like that.

Speaker 9 (01:51:53):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:51:55):
Well I never no, I never got down with it.
I never got to the point where like I have
a brand, Like all my siblings have a brand. If
my brother used to smoke American spirits back in the
day or.

Speaker 3 (01:52:08):
Something, it'll just take like a year and a half
to smoke.

Speaker 7 (01:52:10):
But also, weren't they trying to pretend that they were
better because they were natural or something.

Speaker 3 (01:52:15):
I smoked them for a while just because I thought
the same thing. I'm like, oh, look it. It says
it's good for you. It's called a natural figurette.

Speaker 8 (01:52:21):
Yeah, I smoke these, you get a more organic cancer
in your lungs. He's such an idiot too, and like, oh,
you know, I'm gonna I'm starting to really have a
rough time when I climbed stairs.

Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
Here, I'm on a breath instant. They're gonna switch over
to lights because that'll do better for me.

Speaker 10 (01:52:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:52:35):
I smoke Marlborough lights for like six months. I'm like,
what am I doing? I'm gonna smoke. I'm gonna smoke.

Speaker 7 (01:52:39):
Right and put a tree trunk in your mouth but
it on fire. All right, Well, congrats, just you did it. Thanks,
you did it. You wanted to be a smoker, and
you did it. I didn't want to be a smoker.

Speaker 8 (01:52:53):
Oh well then my condolences. Well tomorrow you could be
a non smoker. It's when you're ready to quit, which.

Speaker 3 (01:53:00):
Maybe one day the Allen Cox Show.

On one hundred point seven.

Speaker 8 (01:53:09):
Call the Alan Cox Show relieved himself and did it all.

Speaker 3 (01:53:13):
I mean you name it, it was probably happening.

Speaker 12 (01:53:16):
Two point six five seven eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 4 (01:53:19):
Or one eight three four eighty one double o seven.

Speaker 7 (01:53:39):
I've got those Evan Essence tickets all week for people
who have been asking me about that. Evan Essence is
headlining a tour next summer, coming to Blossom July thirtieth.
They are not on sale until Friday morning at ten
spirit Box and Nova Twins opening up. Amy Lehon Company
taking a real gamble having spirit Box come on before

(01:54:00):
them with respect.

Speaker 3 (01:54:02):
But it'll be a good show. It'll be a great show.

Speaker 7 (01:54:05):
So you'll be able to win those tickets for me
in a little bit all this week before they go
on st. Five to ten all week, and I've awakened
all the smokers. Rob in the text with the convo
you as a former smoker, Jess as a current and
enthusiastic smoker, Alan, if you buy two packs at a time,

(01:54:29):
Marl Burrow Black are only about six bucks a pop. See,
now everybody's cutting corners there. I had a buddy in
college and I think it was maybe an affectation or
whatever he won.

Speaker 3 (01:54:41):
He smoked dun Hills. You know what dun Hills are.

Speaker 7 (01:54:46):
I don't They come in like they're British smokes, I think,
And they come in like a tin or something. He
was always walking around with a tin Dunhill cigarette. It's
a British cigarette.

Speaker 8 (01:54:57):
I told you that last my buddy, last time I
really smoked, was he had Ben Sherman's cigarettes and they
came in that.

Speaker 3 (01:55:06):
I have some Ben Sherman Shirtsnat Sherman.

Speaker 8 (01:55:10):
That Sherman, Sorry, Ben Sherman, Yeah, yah, yeah Sherman.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
Okay. They come in the box right like they got
like those old timey box and tins right right.

Speaker 10 (01:55:24):
I think that.

Speaker 7 (01:55:26):
Jess should rather than subtract the cigarette, I think she
should add like more of an Audrey Hepburn breakfast at Tiffany's.

Speaker 3 (01:55:34):
Look to her. You know, scarfer on the head, Jess.
You know glasses take notes.

Speaker 7 (01:55:41):
Yeah, somebody's stepping up to light it every time you
do it, Alan Tel, Jess, those Crown reds taste pretty
similar to twenty seven's and they're only five bucks a pack.
Alan Jess should consider Marlborough Black.

Speaker 3 (01:56:00):
For Marlborough.

Speaker 8 (01:56:02):
Once you go Marlborough Black, you never go Marlborough back.

Speaker 7 (01:56:06):
That's right, and you probably get cool things right like
you get don't they still do Marlborough points and you
don't get it. You can get a bunch of coasters
or something.

Speaker 1 (01:56:15):
I got.

Speaker 3 (01:56:15):
I got Marlborough points.

Speaker 8 (01:56:17):
Smoke yourself all the way to a cancer kazoo to
get a jacket, like look what I've done.

Speaker 3 (01:56:22):
Yeah I did. I now have one of those voice boxes.
But I have a great coat to show for it.
I think I've got hold on, hold on, and I
gotta set out.

Speaker 6 (01:56:34):
I gotta senda, I gotta sennas.

Speaker 3 (01:56:39):
Like, yeah, there's another absolutely bad in myself.

Speaker 1 (01:56:42):

Speaker 7 (01:57:53):
Oh goodness, gracious fun with Trachy God. Yeah, everybody, thanks
for tuning in today. I'm Alan Cox. Rob Anthony is

A new cast member on the show. Jess's back and
studio j Jesz. How oh man, uh huh oh that
one got me.

Speaker 4 (01:58:26):
Man.

Speaker 8 (01:58:26):
I had an uncle with one of those. Oh, dude,
that sounded that was good. He would get lazy with
his and he wouldn't bother with the kazoo and he'd
put his thumb over the hole so he could kind
of talk crazy and it would queef like it would make.
He would talk and he'd be like, hey, Rob, and
then yeah, it was like making fart noises out of the.

Speaker 3 (01:58:47):
Hole in his neck, like the people who just put
that dart right in the hole right in there, just taking.

Speaker 7 (01:59:03):
Oh god, yeah, Nat Sherman's of the cigarettes that Frampton
mentions and do you feel like we do?

Speaker 12 (01:59:12):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:59:12):
Does heal? All right? There you go. Hunter s Thompson
smoked dun Hills. Yeah, buddy of mine. In college. He
was like he always had like a thing of dun Hills,
And I was like, really, but he was a dude who,
like I swear to God, he so desperately like wished
he had been born in the fifties. He was just
kind of very, very kind of post World War two

(01:59:36):
and his like affectations and the way he talked and
kind of you know, he was a hell of a dude,
but he was a very weird cat.

Speaker 7 (01:59:45):
Over Oh yeah, like Canada. You know, when you go
to Canada, they've got the photos on their cigarettes too.

Speaker 3 (01:59:50):
We don't do that here. I sure.

Speaker 7 (01:59:52):
I assume lobbyists got the better of you know, you
go overseas and they've got like photos on the path.
You know, Hell, here's somebody with half a face gone
and things like that, you know, which is I guess
some form of aversion therapy.

Speaker 3 (02:00:07):
But also like people know by now, people know what
they're in for. It's like all the dudes with the
little pinch between the cheek and gums, right, yeah, all
these dudes who thought that they were like side stepping
problems because they weren't smoking, and then they end up
with like raising tumors in their gums.

Speaker 7 (02:00:23):
It's like, yeah, it's the same thing, guys, like the
zen thing, What are are those? Those aren't tobacco, right?
So they zing you with nicotine?

Speaker 8 (02:00:34):
Okay, that's it. Yeah, I've actually I did one I didn't.
It was too much, too fast for me. Like I
enjoyed that first drag get like that, who little I
headed for a second good. This was just like zero
to one hundred boom. You're like, whoa, that's a lot
of nigga. Yeah fast, and it doesn't go away quick.

Speaker 3 (02:00:53):
Yeah, that effect probably didn't go over the air that well,
but I don't care. Oh it did.

Speaker 10 (02:00:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:01:00):
It's hard to tell. Yeah, you could. Definitely. Everything you're
saying is I got me at the right time. Man,
where I hitched alan.

Speaker 3 (02:01:08):
I had to take my dad to the er yesterday
and I saw a guy outside smoking through his throat hole. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:01:14):
Yeah, but my uncle, man, you would have gotten a
kick out him because he would just like he was
a pervert in half, and he would say anything about
anyone forgetting that there's no level at that thing. Like
he was at my grandmother's funeral talking about one of
my cousin's asses, like you could just you could hear
him in the church.

Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
Wow, you got an incredible day with incredible ass on it.

Speaker 7 (02:01:35):
And also you got to think at that point, even
though people are like, oh my god, they're putting a
cigarette in their trigger.

Speaker 3 (02:01:41):
At that point, they're like, who cares? Who cares? Man,
I'm on the other side of the slope here, Like,
it's not this isn't there's no happy ending to this, right,
I got a hole in my throat.

Speaker 11 (02:01:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:01:54):
My daughter, my older daughter, when she was younger, she
was a huge doctor who fan, and so I heard
that a lot. You know, it sounded like somebody's smoking
in the next room, exter extern. Well you Hoovian nerds,
we'll get it. Yeah, but all of the smoker has

(02:02:15):
blown me up. He broke me. Man, you all right
over there.

Speaker 8 (02:02:18):
I'm better now. I actually have like a headache from
laughing that hard, that fat like you know, you didn't.
I didn't get to ease into it.

Speaker 7 (02:02:25):
Only fifty two thousand points for an iron lung.

Speaker 3 (02:02:29):
Somebody said, well that's good. It's a good deal. That
ain't bad. I've got some sperm news here fare sperm
and they called it puppy Lore's a gentleman, Paul and cup. Yeah,

(02:03:02):
what's up, Terry?

Speaker 1 (02:03:04):
How are you doing?

Speaker 18 (02:03:05):
You get through like the milk on my cereal?

Speaker 3 (02:03:08):
I love you guys, thank you, man, I appreciate it.

Speaker 18 (02:03:13):
I started smoking when I was nine, years old in
the children's home.

Speaker 4 (02:03:19):
I begged the guys to teeth you.

Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
Yeah, and a children's home.

Speaker 16 (02:03:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:03:24):
Yeah, So I smoked until I was thirty. I quit
smoking and started chewing. Well, like I did something better, right, Wow,
that's washed with tobacco out.

Speaker 3 (02:03:38):
Of my teeth. Yeah, that's a long Are you still
doing that? I still cheering?

Speaker 9 (02:03:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (02:03:43):
I've tried to quit several times and I.

Speaker 3 (02:03:46):
Just can't kick it. Do you still have all your teeth?

Speaker 18 (02:03:50):
I'm only missing two in the back on top of Oh,
that's not too bad from chewing. It's from eating sweets
when I was little and not brushing my teeth all
the time.

Speaker 8 (02:04:00):
But you don't have you don't have any actual from
chewing that long. You don't have any any like mouth issues.

Speaker 4 (02:04:06):
No, no, I don't.

Speaker 18 (02:04:08):
But you know, I mean I have receding gums.

Speaker 14 (02:04:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:04:12):
Sure, everybody does at a certain point, right, But that's
that's more a function of hygiene than it is what
you're doing.

Speaker 3 (02:04:17):
So that's I mean, that's that's pretty good.

Speaker 8 (02:04:19):
Man.

Speaker 7 (02:04:19):
When Terry, when Terry was nine, he had smokes and
one hen hard candy in the other.

Speaker 3 (02:04:25):
That's hit him on both ends. You gotta go one
of these days, Am I right?

Speaker 4 (02:04:29):
Yeah, little.

Speaker 18 (02:04:30):
I used to take a hit and then blow a
bubble with my bubble gum, and they'd have smoke filled
into us and we'd see how big it would get.
When it bunted, all the smoke would just come pouring out.

Speaker 7 (02:04:43):
Terry was like a fourth grade bad ass. I don't wow,
look at that man, he's living hard. Okay, thank you, Terry.
I appreciate it. Man, appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (02:04:51):
Boys, home sounds like a blast. What did you do today?
We blew gigantic cigarette bubbles?

Speaker 5 (02:04:57):
Man?

Speaker 3 (02:04:57):
I wish I was an orphan sperm news I forgot.
I had Terry on hold. Thank you, Terry.

Speaker 7 (02:05:04):
Paul Anka, boy, I want a guy like Paul Anka.
I'm a huge Jason Bateman fan. He does a show
with Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, very popular podcast called SmartLess.

Speaker 3 (02:05:15):
It's on the iHeartRadio app in in fact, but I
just like to cut his jib.

Speaker 7 (02:05:19):
He's kind of got that sexy indifference, and I think
he's a very very talented guy. He's been a working
actor his entire life. He's grown up in Hollywood whatever.
His father in law is Paul Anka. Jason Bateman is
married to Amanda Anka, and Paul Ank has been married
a handful of times. I know some years ago he
married like his Swedish personal trainer or something. But he

(02:05:41):
is one of the most successful recording artists of all time.
This is a guy who had massive hits when he
was like fourteen, right, he was probably smoking too. Oh,
puppy love one of those big hits. And you'll want
a friend like Paul Anka. Really, I mean by that
is story a couple of days ago. Hilarious headline. Paul

(02:06:05):
Anka confirms that Frank Sinatra was hung. Yep, I need
a friend like that so that after I'm dead they
go so and So confirms that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:15):
Alan Cox was hung. That'd be great.

Speaker 7 (02:06:18):
Paul Anka is happy to confirm the long standing rumors
about Frank Sinatra's crown jewels.

Speaker 3 (02:06:26):
You know, Paul Anka is an eighty four year old
man too. But back in the day he was running
with the pack.

Speaker 7 (02:06:32):
I don't think he was in the rat pack proper,
but these guys were all like old school Vegas, right, yeah,
all of them are together. And I don't know how
the topic came up, but he was talking to some
magazine or newspaper or something, and he's like, yeah, Paul
Frank Sinatra was a huge Well, he did call him
the chairman of the board, right, he said I had

(02:06:54):
trouble with eye contact, although he did say Sinatra had
nothing on Milton Burle. So for those of you who
you know, your celebrity dongs.

Speaker 4 (02:07:05):
Be love.

Speaker 7 (02:07:07):
So Sinatra, of course was married to Ava Gardner, very
gorgeous and popular actress of the time.

Speaker 3 (02:07:14):
Surprised the Sinatra had a huge wang, right, Like well.

Speaker 7 (02:07:16):
Eva Gardner said that he had a nineteen pound penis.
Obviously that's physically impossible. But Paul Anka, I guess, got
caught up in the whole thing and you got to
hope for some quid pro quo. So my thought is
you have to wonder down the road, who's going to
vouch for Paul Anka.

Speaker 3 (02:07:35):
You know he's Canadian Bateman. Bateman Yeah, father in law
to him.

Speaker 8 (02:07:42):
I saw.

Speaker 7 (02:07:42):
I went to the Schmidz one time with my father
in law and he was kicking up dust on the
ground when we were just walking back.

Speaker 3 (02:07:49):
Yeah, he was sitting there. It had its own towel.
Paul Anka wrote the lyrics to my Way. That's what
his connection to Frank Sinatra was a French song and
and Paul Anka kind of trans transposed it or translated
into English, and it became obviously Frank Sinatra's Paul and

(02:08:14):
Everything man. That guy was.

Speaker 7 (02:08:15):
Paul Anka wrote the theme song to the Tonight Show. Yeah, right,
so he's a rich dude. He's been around forever for
seventy years. Paul Anka has been that that that song
has a name. Those of you old enough to remember,
Johnny Carson. Paul Anka wrote that theme song and he

(02:08:36):
confirmed Frank Sinatra had a mango pecker.

Speaker 3 (02:08:42):
Pete Rose did it for Joe DiMaggio. Did you ever
see that video?

Speaker 12 (02:08:46):
No?

Speaker 8 (02:08:46):
Oh, it's one of the funniest things you'll ever hear.
Pete Rose telling a story about Joe DiMaggio's wiener.

Speaker 3 (02:08:51):
Is this something I can air? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (02:08:52):
Yeah, he doesn't curse, but he says something along the
lines of like they were in they were doing like
a us us O thing, they visiting soldiers and they
were in the middle of the desert.

Speaker 3 (02:09:02):
Joe Demashio wanted a shower. This is from Stern. No,
that's not the one that I heard. He was taking.
It was like a very memorable experience in Vietnam.

Speaker 19 (02:09:11):
Showering, Yeah, showering, Joe Demasia, Oh yeah, I get a.

Speaker 3 (02:09:15):
Shower one night.

Speaker 19 (02:09:16):
What happened is we're in the middle of jungle and
it said, damn hot, you can't sleep, and all you.

Speaker 3 (02:09:20):
Can hear boom boom boom, boom boom.

Speaker 19 (02:09:22):
When you're up on the hill, there's a valve another hill,
and you can see the every fourth bullet out of
the helicoppers is a tracer. You know, we're watching this
war gone and Joe wants to take a shower, said Joe,
we're not downtown side gun. He said, I don't give
a damn. I'm Joe Demajo. We got to take a shower.
I'm gonna take a shower. And you know, only way
you could take a shower, they had this bad, big

(02:09:42):
bamboo thing and there's a string here and somebody's got
to get on a chair and feed the water and
pull the string and the water comes through. And I
was the guy who did that for Joe Tomajo. So
I saw everything Maryland saw, and you told all your
friends about it.

Speaker 3 (02:09:59):
I told everything with my friends.

Speaker 4 (02:10:01):
I said.

Speaker 19 (02:10:02):
The best way to describe Joe Demaggio, he's a penis
with a man hanging from it, and he's just.

Speaker 7 (02:10:10):
Beaming from ear to ear. Well, listen, that's how a schlub.
I know, he is an amazing baseball player, but he
was nothing to look at. That's how the guy got
Marilyn Monroe, Joe Demisha Monroe, Monroe, Marilyn Monroe, You talking
about Joe Demagio. Yes, yeah, I mean plus.

Speaker 3 (02:10:26):
Well that's what I'm saying though. Yes, I mean for
who he was a giant, but he was a penis
with a man hanging off of him. How about that?

Speaker 4 (02:10:36):
So great?

Speaker 7 (02:10:37):
Every bat joke you could possibly make, you make about
Joe Demage.

Speaker 3 (02:10:42):
I'll take ways, people will never describe me when I die.

Speaker 7 (02:10:45):
Alex Yeah, so Paul Anka, I mean, he had a
bunch of hits, I mean, starting when he was frigging
fourteen years old. He wrote She's a Lady for Tom Jones,
which was one of his huge hits. Every time I
have a you know, comedian in here, something a female
who I'm fond of, I always play him when She's
a Lady. He wrote the English lyrics to My Way.

(02:11:08):
He wrote songs for Elvis. He co wrote songs for
Michael Jackson, Like the Guy just knows how to write songs.
Oh yeah, his first single I confess with when he
was fourteen years old. And that was back when like
television shows had orchestras, so like, oh, he auditioned for
the band associate with this show. But he was a

(02:11:32):
task master. You don't get to that level and be,
you know, like a nice guy all the time. He's
one of those guys that got recorded by one of
his band members screaming at the band.

Speaker 3 (02:11:44):
Back in the day. He's like, yeah, we had the
somebody asked him about he was in the eighties and
he's like, yeah, that guy was a snake and we
got rid of him or whatever. You know the famous
audio of Buddy Rich. You ever heard that? Yeah, yeah,
the famous audio of Buddy Rich, uh, the late great
jazz drummer considered to be the best drummer of all time,

(02:12:08):
screaming at his band, screaming, hurling epithets at them. Paul Anka,
to a lesser degree, was kind of doing that and
this guy released this audio. They're like, oh, and I
gotta tell you when I obviously there's a more deft
and diplomatic way to get your point across, but not
everybody's that way. But every time I hear one of those,
I'm like, this is somebody operating at the top of

(02:12:31):
their game and they expect everyone else to be doing
it too. And James Brown yelling at the band yeah,
because these were guys that had like full bands behind them,
so every cue had you know, they're playing like big
band music or whatever, an orchestra. You're singing with that, Like,
every cue has got to be correct. You know, he's

(02:12:53):
doing body cues on stage. The guys need to keep.

Speaker 6 (02:13:00):
Where were you guys on the end.

Speaker 3 (02:13:02):
Of my brand? What happened?

Speaker 8 (02:13:05):
I was late.

Speaker 1 (02:13:06):
I usually watched you on that.

Speaker 3 (02:13:08):
What's it gonna be?

Speaker 9 (02:13:09):
Guys?

Speaker 16 (02:13:09):
Do you want to get a conductor that'll sit and
write your asses?

Speaker 4 (02:13:13):
Don't you want?

Speaker 3 (02:13:14):
You like your job or not? Do you want to
keep your job? Do you want your asses written?

Speaker 4 (02:13:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:13:20):
Again, there's a different way to do it. But it's like,
if you're trying to get your point across, that wasn't
that bad. No, that's not bad. I mean I get

Speaker 4 (02:15:21):
Oh God?

Speaker 7 (02:15:23):
People emailing me Ellen earworm suck well. The subject line
is you son of a bitch from Mike. My current
non stop earworm for the last month has been Oldie
timey Christmas. As a local iHeart listener, I have to
sit through the Magic Christmas commercial every break, sometimes twice.

(02:15:46):
They have Holly Jolly Christmas in the promo U so
the earworm resets, but I have it all through the
night in my head.

Speaker 3 (02:15:55):
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 7 (02:15:56):
Fisticuffs are in order. Put up your dukes, Peluka. How
long ago did you do that for Jesus? Oldie timey Christmas?

Speaker 3 (02:16:05):
Was that here? Or was that Oh yeah, that was yes,
that was me and Miles, so that would have been
twoenty twelve thirteen.

Speaker 7 (02:16:15):
Oh wow, old dude, that's great, Oldie tiny yeah, Oldie
timey Christmas.

Speaker 3 (02:16:22):
Some of our shorthand here on the show.

Speaker 7 (02:16:24):
For those of you who are new to the program,
I'll include Jess in that because she's learning about us,
we're learning about her. Is signing documents, right, s and d's.
We talk about s and some d's. You know what
that means mm hmming some d's. Yeah, Jess knows, although

(02:16:46):
she had rob maybe she wouldn't find herself in her
current predicament.

Speaker 3 (02:16:49):
Hey o, wellelas got them every Baby's a miracle ssen
some d's. We referred to it as signing documents And
I got another AI song from Jeremiah Okay said, I
try to make a holiday song with a common bit
of show parlance. The song is called Santa's Plan.

Speaker 8 (02:17:10):
Santa is upset because the deaths don't believe he's real,
so he has.

Speaker 3 (02:17:17):
A treat this Christmas that'll change them. Sam signing documents Christmas.
He wants you to believe. That's for you sign documents
for Christmas.

Speaker 4 (02:17:34):
You hope that your mind will open once he breaks
the seal.

Speaker 3 (02:17:39):
Sleep something now.

Speaker 7 (02:17:44):
By the way, this song would also work out great
for people who maybe they're a notary and you know
they want something jaunty and festive for their office party.
Santa's signing documents for Christmas. That could work just as well.
In there, thank you, Jeremiah. That's how I apparently in

(02:18:04):
his mind, that's how Santa will prove to the dads
that he's real.

Speaker 3 (02:18:07):
He's signing documents for Christmas. Yeah, his death will smell
like a past tree, because breath will smell like a
Paris tree.

Speaker 4 (02:18:19):
Man is word.

Speaker 7 (02:18:22):
Wow, Santa's signing documents for Christmas. Thank you, Jeremiah. Now,
I don't know that that will be have the staying
power of festive glory whole. I'm thinking not, although I
am sensing a thematic pattern here. So anyway, thank you, Mike,
Thank you, Jeremiah. Appreciate it. Your Cavaliers, by the way,

(02:18:42):
are playing tonight. They are here at home through the
week and they are set to play the Portland trail
Blazers tonight.

Speaker 3 (02:18:50):
That's you okay with there? I am excuse me.

Speaker 7 (02:18:54):
Seven o'clock game tonight, six point thirty pre game Trailblazers.
I mean the Trailblazers are a little bit underwater too.
They're below five hundred.

Speaker 3 (02:19:05):
They're not doing great.

Speaker 7 (02:19:07):
But the Calves just broke a three game skid at
the hands of the Indiana Pacers to the night. So
we'll see what happens tonight, Trailblazers, Calves seven o'clock. Is
Darius Garland playing tonight.

Speaker 3 (02:19:19):
That's a good question. I don't even think we know.
I'm sure we do. Let's see, I think they have
to put that out.

Speaker 7 (02:19:29):
Five calves will be unavailable for the Blazers, who themselves
are shorthanded. I don't see today's yet. Let's see Darius Garland.
When it comes to the question of whether or not
he's playing, the answer is yes, he is playing. He
did not play against Indiana. A Lonzo ball is probable,
he's ill. Jared Allen out, Sam Morrel out, Larry Nance

(02:19:52):
Junior out, Max Stru's Shruce out left foot surgery.

Speaker 3 (02:19:57):
See, I didn't.

Speaker 8 (02:19:58):
I didn't see today's I only saw yesterday's injury reports
for the Blazers.

Speaker 7 (02:20:04):
If you were wondering, but Alan, what's the status of
Scoot Henderson out out and Z Scoots? Yeah, Damian Lillard out.
That's probably the only name I know currently on the
Portland Trail Blazers is Damian Lillard. Jesse, do you think
that Mel Gibson is hot? We were talking about your

(02:20:24):
unconventional taste in older celebrities. You think Mel Gibson is hot?

Speaker 14 (02:20:27):
Gibson, if he can get past the whole, he's okay,
all right, He needs to use moisturizer. He needs what moisturizer?
Bo Ain't that the truth. I just bought a new
thing of my own moisturizer, Rob, and I couldn't be happier.

Speaker 3 (02:20:45):
So that was out. I'm sorry. Are you laughing at me?

Speaker 9 (02:20:48):
No?

Speaker 14 (02:20:51):
Never would I ever. Just it's hard work to keep
this baby's ass skin on my face? All right, pretty
soft looking, I'll tell you what looking? Oh, come on,
but your midst all over it?

Speaker 6 (02:21:06):
And so.

Speaker 3 (02:21:08):
Because I got a bit of stubble today, I did
in shade this morning. But you know I do have
my regimen, Rob, I do have my routine, yeah, which
again would go a lot further if I looked a
bit more cleaned up.

Speaker 8 (02:21:21):
I love how Jess is like over and feel it, Rob,
like I don't already It's the first thing I do
when I come in every single day.

Speaker 3 (02:21:26):
I knew it. Yeah, you hear all these things about
us having this thing off the air. Yeah, how would
you reach for softness today?

Speaker 13 (02:21:33):
Well?

Speaker 3 (02:21:33):
Today he just mentioned he's got stubble. I got some stubbles,
like a six out of time. Not even he's stubble.
It's a I wouldn't even rate today. It doesn't count,
doesn't count. Imagine that, man, he's picky. I am doesn't count.
I have I have.

Speaker 7 (02:21:46):
I have my standards, the things I expect and like,
and that's not it. Al it's a very opulent taste.
We've already talked about.

Speaker 3 (02:21:55):
It's right.

Speaker 16 (02:21:58):
About how you and Rob are in love with each
other and your wives left you for each other.

Speaker 3 (02:22:03):
He said, go on, and I said, okay, And Coxes
a pair with r Allen Coxes a pair run. Your
wives found out your gay. They found out on Christmas Day.

Speaker 8 (02:22:20):
They booked a flight to Montego Bay, and they.

Speaker 3 (02:22:23):
Said, screw it.

Speaker 7 (02:22:24):
Sounds like something that would be on NPR, isn't it. Yeah,
something that would have shown up on the Prairie Home Companion.

Speaker 8 (02:22:32):
Wouldn't it be funny if it's just foreshadowing, like it's
actually gonna like it says it happened on Christmas Day.
We don't know what's gonna happen on Christmas Day. Maybe
that is when they find Well.

Speaker 3 (02:22:39):
I liked that. AI also synthesize it as the wives
left for each other.

Speaker 8 (02:22:44):
Yeah, well, once they find out, they're so distraught by
what we're doing. I think it's a win win. They
find each other and head off to Montego Bay.

Speaker 3 (02:22:52):
There you go for a couple of digits north of
six seven is Montego Bay, Uh still standing? I believe
that it is. Yes, like the Elton Johnson they also
who also, by the way, wore round glasses. People were
reminding me.

Speaker 7 (02:23:10):
Jamaica is going a full court press on trying to
get tourism.

Speaker 3 (02:23:15):
By the way, they're like, please come visit Jamaica.

Speaker 7 (02:23:18):
Yeah, because as you might suspect, you know, a lot
of the smaller businesses in Montego Bay, which is probably
ninety five percent of them, are in bad shape after
Hurricane Melissa. They really plowed through Jamaica, so they're kind
of trying to be front and center and going, hey,
look we got a long recovery here.

Speaker 4 (02:23:37):
Right.

Speaker 7 (02:23:37):
They had twenty six resorts shutdown, So frankly, I'm not
sure what there is left to visit when you go
to Jamaica.

Speaker 3 (02:23:43):
But it was the strongest storm there in thirty years.
This was around Halloween. This happened.

Speaker 8 (02:23:48):
Was it twenty six in the country or twenty six
in Montego Bay? No, in the country, Okay, Yeah. The
Rosehall Resort is where we stay. We did the show
live from there in twenty twenty because we flew back
the day after.

Speaker 3 (02:24:06):
The Trump Clinton election the presidential election, Hurricane Melissa caused
eight point eight billion dollars in physical damage to the
country of Jamaica. So obviously their entire economy is tourism based,
and that's tough. Let's see, because insurance will only cover
about half of that. Oho Rios is in great shape.

Speaker 7 (02:24:27):
Oris because it's at the opposite end of the island. Well,
so they're gonna be uh, they're breathing rarefied air up there.
I've never I've only been to I think I've only
been to Montego Bay. I think that was the one
time I've been to Jamaica.

Speaker 3 (02:24:41):
I love Jamaica.

Speaker 7 (02:24:42):
Been I've been to the Bahamas a couple of times.
I've been to the Virgin Islands. I think that was
the only time I'd been to Jamaica.

Speaker 3 (02:24:50):
And it was great. It was beautiful.

Speaker 8 (02:24:53):
Yes, so, it says Sandal's Montego Bay, Sandals Roural, Caribbean,
and Sandal's South Coast took significant damage, closed for major restoration,
not planning on reopening until May of twenty six. But
where I was Sandals and Beaches in the Grill says
the hotels themselves were largely unscathed, but will remain closed

(02:25:13):
for now due to damage from local infrastructure. That's the thing, man,
Like you're driving for an hour and a half from
the airport to get to this place. Yeah, and the
resort's great, but like everything around it, that's it's going
to be completely strong.

Speaker 7 (02:25:26):
You're gonna be so bummed by the time you get there.
That's it gonna be hard to have a good time,
you know, But I would. But under normal conditions, it's
like abject poverty in every direction.

Speaker 8 (02:25:35):
But knowing that they're like open for business kind of
makes me want to fly to Montego Bay for like
a quick vacation, you know what I mean, Like, if
you can spend some money there, I would do that.

Speaker 3 (02:25:44):
I love Jamaica.

Speaker 7 (02:25:46):
Yep, Ellen, I just heard a lady on the news say, Hi,
what there were? The news was talking about the truck
spill that happened in a diner this morning.

Speaker 3 (02:25:54):
Did that jam you up?

Speaker 1 (02:25:55):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:25:55):
I don't say down. Seventy seven seventy one, yeah, yeah,
I don't. I I just take seventy one all the way.

Speaker 7 (02:26:01):
I think it was just like an alcohol spill or something,
so it could have been a hell of a lot
worse anyway. Ethanol, right or denatured alcohol something?

Speaker 3 (02:26:08):
Okay?

Speaker 7 (02:26:08):
Yeah, Rich West, like said the lady on the news,
referred to it as a highly flammable load. Well, there's
only one way to describe it, you know. Anytime a
truck crashes, the word load is always in there, and
we all snicker back here, but it's.

Speaker 3 (02:26:24):
I don't want that. What's happening getting the end of
the show, man, you messed up the script. That's a
big load. All right, Let's see who messed up? What
page are we on? Let's see? Hold on, I gotta
look at my script because I'm on the telephone. Just
what page are you on?

Speaker 17 (02:26:40):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:26:41):
Four, she's way off. We're on page fifty six. He
gets it again. He's always man, you keep a good
eye on that.

Speaker 8 (02:26:49):
Yeah, behind fifty six, Yeah, you're behind by fifty two pages.
We got to give her credit, I mean real, Yeah,
but she has she has so few lines too. Yeah,
but she should still follow along.

Speaker 7 (02:27:00):
I know, I have to go to my daughter's holiday
program tomorrow night at school, and I'm like, what are
you guys doing?

Speaker 3 (02:27:08):
She is so boy, she's locked down. She does not
want to reveal anything.

Speaker 5 (02:27:14):
This kid.

Speaker 7 (02:27:15):
I got to hand it to her because I'm trying
to trick her into spoilers. You know, listen, if you
go to any middle school Christmas program, you kind of
know what you're gonna get. She's a finite number of
you know, the discography is not that broad. However, I'd
like to know Rob what I'm getting myself into. I'll
be going straight from work. Even at that, I'll be

(02:27:39):
showing up among the last people to pour in there.
You know, some people get there really ahead of time,
and so I want to know what I'm in for
because I am one of those parents who only I
can't enjoy the entire production. If my kid's not up there,
I couldn't give a fat frog's ass.

Speaker 3 (02:27:57):
I don't care. Yep.

Speaker 8 (02:27:59):
Now, the worst was those shows. You know, they'd have
one thing and then nothing, So if you'd hope they
kind of show up in the middle. Otherwise, oh god,
you sit there for the whole thing, or you get
it out of the way right away and you still
have to stay.

Speaker 3 (02:28:12):
That was the worst thing.

Speaker 8 (02:28:13):
They were doing dance like they would go to the
dance recitals. We have four hour dance recital.

Speaker 3 (02:28:17):
When she's done, I pull. I pull my phone. I'm
watching pornhub on naturally. Yes, duh, what else would you do?
You're a human, That's what I say.

Speaker 7 (02:28:26):
When you pople start to when people start to grouse
around me, when people start to huff and puff, and
that's coming from the phone.

Speaker 8 (02:28:34):
But excuse me, I am a guaranteed human trying to
enjoy myself here.

Speaker 3 (02:28:40):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (02:28:42):
Uh, mister Cox, could you not watch pornography during the
fourth grade Christmas program?

Speaker 3 (02:28:46):
Did you not tell me what to do? Could you
get out of my face? Yeah? You see, I'm busy here.
I'm watching Gia Durza do her thing. I mean, I
don't go to your house and tell you when not
to do this. Yeah, yeah, al, and I'm with you.
I moisturize and my pores look tizoit. That's what I'm saying.

(02:29:09):
You gotta have a multi tiered regimen.

Speaker 8 (02:29:13):
We're not getting any younger. And uh, you know it works,
done it for all my life. In the morning, if
my face.

Speaker 20 (02:29:21):
Is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack
while doing my stomach crunches. After I remove the ice pack,
I use a deep poor cleanser lotion in the shower
I use a water activated gel cleanser and then a
honey almond body scrub, and on the face, an exfoliating
gel scrub.

Speaker 17 (02:29:40):
Then I apply an irdment facial mask, which I leave
on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of
my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little
or no alcohol because alcohol drives your face out and
makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti aging
eye bomb, followed by final moisture protective lotion. Yeah, don't

(02:30:02):
sleep on that honey almond bar.

Speaker 8 (02:30:05):
Yeah, listen, I'm just proud of myself since joining this show. Uh,
You've taught me the air of my ways and I
no longer wash my face with the same soap I
washed my ass with.

Speaker 7 (02:30:16):
That's fantastic. You see, I have gotta have. Not only
do I have separate face soap, I have separate ass soap.
Do you like Hell's Yes? Is it like just an
ass branded soap like it's made for ass? Yes, it's
keels butt balm.

Speaker 8 (02:30:29):
Okay, all right, yes? And now okay, are you allowed
to use that in the grundle and to stickle area?
I could, but I you don also have grundle soap. Right,
Oh Jesus all, I get very granular with how I
do things. That's right, You've got to have a multi
tiered regimen.

Speaker 3 (02:30:46):
Yeah. Now, am I in the shower for a long time? Sure?

Speaker 7 (02:30:50):
Yeah, I'm in the shower probably on average sixty two minutes.

Speaker 3 (02:30:56):
Wow? Okay, yes, but you can't argue with results, Rob,
you don't look like a seventies lesbian with tight pores.
Look at my accident. Look at the skin on this Grundle.
I have you ever see anything like this?

Speaker 8 (02:31:11):
And this is a product of Smith's Grundle soap. It's
been around since nineteen twenty seven.

Speaker 7 (02:31:16):
And I turn of the century taints were and I'm
as smooth as peeled hard boiled eggs. So it's like,
that's right, you could eat dinner off of my balls.

Speaker 8 (02:31:30):
You think I'm gonna wash my sack with the same
thing I washed my ass with? Are you out of
your mind?

Speaker 3 (02:31:36):
Are you out of your ever loving mind?

Speaker 12 (02:31:41):
Now?

Speaker 7 (02:31:41):
Sure, people see me coming, people in the cosmetic industrial complex, Rob,
So they're trying to go all left right twicks on
me and convince me that I shouldn't use the same
soap on both cheeks.

Speaker 3 (02:31:54):
Oh, I got well, now.

Speaker 8 (02:31:55):
You're getting ridiculous like twicks. Now you're getting ridiculous left cheek.
That's right, interesting chocolate in the middle. I've got to
take a free year The Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 4 (02:32:09):
On one hundred point seven call The Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 8 (02:32:15):
Where's the best place in America to meet single girls
and guys?

Speaker 12 (02:32:18):
Two one six, five seven eight one double oh seven
or one eight hundred three four eighty one double oh seven.

Speaker 7 (02:32:34):
Calves are playing tonight a little over an hour until
tip off. Six point thirty is the pregame coverage Portland Trailblazers,
who are currently sitting at eight and thirteen, so not
killing it, but you know, Calves up to thirteen and
nine on the season.

Speaker 3 (02:32:52):
They are in town for the week.

Speaker 7 (02:32:53):
They'll play the San Antonio Spurs on Friday at the
Rocket Arena and then Saturday night to take on the
Golden State Warriors. Isn't that where what's his name is now,
Jimmy Butler with Golden State? Yeah right, well, I know
Steph Curry, but like Jimmy Butler was a guy who
kind of made the round. We had him on the
Bulls for a bit, and.

Speaker 10 (02:33:14):
You know who.

Speaker 3 (02:33:16):
The Chicago Bulls romiliar my team, Oh the Chicago Bulls
who are currently nine and eleven hashtag never forget. I
think I realized there was a basketball team in Chicago.

Speaker 7 (02:33:29):
You know what, Rob there is And one of these days,
if you have a spare of four hours, I'd love
to regale you with tails of the team.

Speaker 3 (02:33:37):
Not only is there a team.

Speaker 7 (02:33:41):
In Chicago, but there's a young man by the name
of Michael Jordan who you might have heard of. Oh no, no,
I thought the team folded after him, is what I'm saying.
I mean, they should have, But how dare you? Luke
Longley is a treasure? Who one Luke Longley weird Scott
word Pippins. I assume that's his full name. And no,

(02:34:04):
they did not fold when he left. They had what
they had, d Rose, they had Jimmy Butler. Who were
the heirs apparent to Michael Jordan? I mean nobody, seriously. Yeah, well,
there's been a ton of plays we had the worm
back in the day. He was part of those teams, though,
wasn't he, Well some of them, yeah, Dennis Rodman. But

(02:34:26):
Michael Jordan, who you might have heard, a fierce competitor.
M he would manufacture arguments in his mind to get
himself worked up to take on other teams right, people
who in real life had never legitimately wronged him. But
he was just psychotic enough in his desire to win.

(02:34:50):
That's what that requires. That's that discipline we were talking
about earlier. Sometimes it requires you to do things no
one else will do in the pursuit a victory. Wasn't
Horace Grant part of those teams too?

Speaker 3 (02:35:03):
He sure was.

Speaker 7 (02:35:05):
He was embroiled in a local rumor. By the way,
there was a long time anchor lady in Chicago, beautiful
woman named Joan Esposito. She did the ten o'clock I
think the six and the ten on the NBC affiliate
Channel five, And the rumor had gone around that Horace

(02:35:26):
Grant was the father of her baby. She was married
to some business guy or something. And I mean we're
talking like early nineties. The rumor was that Horace Grant
had knocked up Jon Esposito. Now this was obviously pre Internet,
but still like very detrimental to both of their lives
because A it wasn't true, and b it was just

(02:35:49):
like kind of a gross thing to make the rounds because.

Speaker 3 (02:35:55):
There was like no payoff to it, you know, it
was just Rumor Miil Yeah, Rumor mil Crow. Oh look
he's a pregnant woman who happens to know this guy,
so he must be the death.

Speaker 10 (02:36:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:36:03):
I don't even remember what the direct connection between the
two of them were, if there was any, because didn't
Horace Grant go to the Magic after that? Like I
think so he was one of these guys who was, like,
I came from this championship team, now assigned for me
to go and get paid.

Speaker 3 (02:36:16):
I think he went to the Magic the whole time.
Steve Kerr was the dad. Yeah, yep, Steve Kerr.

Speaker 7 (02:36:27):
So the Cavaliers and the Portland trail Blazers tonight, so far,
nobody can touch that Oklahoma City Thunder.

Speaker 3 (02:36:36):
They have lost one game. God, they're good. They're great.

Speaker 7 (02:36:41):
Wizards and New Orleans your worst teams right now, and
the Clippers who just git cut Chris Paul at the
very bottom of the barrel as well.

Speaker 8 (02:36:51):
Right before we came on the air, I was looking
at my Instagram and apparently they're already starting to shop Giannis.
They're starting to look to see if the bucks are
and to really try to keep them or if he's
going elsewhere?

Speaker 3 (02:37:04):
Is that engine's already jumping in? Is that him and
the Kohle's Mom commercial with Ellie Kemper, Yeah? Is that Yiannis?

Speaker 10 (02:37:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:37:10):
Okay, I don't know that I've ever heard the guy speak,
but I'm like, well, I know he's going. He couldn't
get it wrong. Yeah, right.

Speaker 7 (02:37:17):
Speaking of Instagram, I was reading that Instagram for whatever reason.
I'm always fascinated when these companies that could literally you
can work anywhere Instagram wants all of their employees back
in the office five days a week. I'm like, what
are you talking about now? Granted, none of this has
anything to do with like team building culture. It's about

(02:37:37):
really really boring stuff like corporate rent and buildings that
they're spending money on.

Speaker 8 (02:37:43):
I think they want to reduce headcount. I think that's
all it is. They don't want to fire people. They
want to say you have to come back to work,
and they're going to lose x number percentage of their
people because they don't want to go back.

Speaker 3 (02:37:53):
You're like that, but this is planned attrition, I think so.

Speaker 8 (02:37:56):
Yeah, yeah, because then you don't have to fire people
like you're seeing all these bad headlines from all these companies.

Speaker 3 (02:38:01):
Meta just well, Met as part of it, just went
through it, right.

Speaker 8 (02:38:03):
But all these different companies are going through crap, and
they're just like, well, look, the easiest way to do
it is to say everybody has to be in here
five days a week. You think any one of those
computer jag offs want to go back to work, No, no,
I'll go work somewhere else. You'll lose ten percent of
your workforce. Save yourself a bunch. Yeah, But also like
these days, where do you go? I would be a
little I would be a little nervous.

Speaker 7 (02:38:25):
So you know, you'll notice that they're not telling kids
to become coders anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:38:28):
No, for a long time, they're like, be a coder,
be a coder. You good job security because nobody saw it,
at least the bulk of the people in those industries,
you know, weren't hip to AI coming.

Speaker 8 (02:38:39):
Well, I think they saw it, but I don't think
they thought that it could do what it's doing in
as fast as it's doing it.

Speaker 3 (02:38:46):
I guess so. Adam Assari is the current CEO of Instagram,
and he says it's starting February, the TEID employees in
the US, we'll have to return to the office full time.
I think pople just gonna say get bent, you know
what I mean, Like they'll just well, why yeah, Well
but there here's what I don't understand.

Speaker 7 (02:39:08):
Instagram's New York City employees won't be forced back five
days a week until they've dealt with whatever their space
constraints are, and remote employees are exempt.

Speaker 8 (02:39:21):
I don't understand that, like, because I think there's some
positions they hired to find as remote.

Speaker 3 (02:39:26):
I think other people advantage of it. I see, yeah,
people hired as remote right.

Speaker 12 (02:39:33):
Now.

Speaker 7 (02:39:34):
I am always a little because we whether you believe
it or not, we're in a creative business here on
this program, and obviously we've seen more than our share
of attrition with this company.

Speaker 3 (02:39:47):
It's just the nature of the beast these days.

Speaker 7 (02:39:50):
But I also am not somebody who like pooh poohs
the notion that there is a different vibe when people
are in the office. You know, people have gotten so
used to remote work that they're like, I can do
the exact same thing on Zoom with my team than
I can anywhere else. And that may be true if
that's the kind of the line of work that you're in,

(02:40:10):
But there's something to be said for like physical groups
of people in a creative environment. So when they talk
about like because that's how they always pitch it, right,
they're always like, oh, this is how we You can't
build a creative, winning culture in front of your screens. Well,
we could when it was convenient for you guys. Sure,

(02:40:31):
But again, I you know, I like people being around.

Speaker 10 (02:40:36):
Do you.

Speaker 3 (02:40:37):
Well, it's a different vibe. Yeah, we're so used to
it now.

Speaker 7 (02:40:40):
I was talking to somebody when COVID first hit, and
we were the only show still going in every day
out in Independence everybody and everybody else went home.

Speaker 3 (02:40:51):
A lot of people who were just DJs. They could
easily do it at home, right, they were like, yeah,
here's this, and but I'm like, I can't.

Speaker 7 (02:41:00):
And there was talk about it early on, but I
quickly realized I can't do the show the way I
want to do it, the way I need to do
it from my house.

Speaker 3 (02:41:08):
I'm just not going to do that.

Speaker 8 (02:41:12):
And so we went in every day during COVID, so
everyone Bill marry to everybody. Yeah, yeah, So in the
same studio.

Speaker 3 (02:41:20):
Bill and Mary and I were really punk. Cake was
in his booth but yeah, wow.

Speaker 7 (02:41:25):
Again, we were far enough away from each other anyway,
sure right, I mean, you know, and so we went
in every day, and for the first couple of months,
I was like, this is awesome. But then it gets creepy.
Then it feels like a ghost ship because again, you know,
nobody knew how long the COVID thing was going to be.

Speaker 3 (02:41:45):
And at the beginning, yeah, I won't be back to
work in three weeks because nobody knew. There's no way
to know. But after like nine or ten months of that,
it was like, you know, so it kind of took
a toll on you. Now, compare to a lot of
people whose lives were turned upside down. Professionally, that's no
big complaint. Professionally, my life didn't change at all. I

(02:42:09):
was going in every day, but it did get weird.
Oh it does.

Speaker 8 (02:42:14):
As time went on and no one else was around,
my world flipped upside down, I'm sure. I mean, I
had a regional job. I mean I oversaw twenty something
radio stations for this company in New England and they
combined regions. They were smart to do it. They gave
my region to a guy making like sixty grand less
than I was, like, why wouldn't you know what I mean,

(02:42:34):
It's brilliant. Yeah, and they moved me into the national team,
which I hated. That's why I'm here. As soon as
this job came up. Kennedy's like, hey, what do you
think about MMS? I'm like, I think I'm packing my
stuff as we speak, you know. But it was I
hated working from home, but I hated it because I
was I wasn't doing what I love doing, Like that's
being in Like this is one part of it, right,

(02:42:57):
But programming on a big level, multiple things without really
being in the trenches with anyone sucked, you know what
I mean. Like I love this, Like I love going
to you and saying, hey, what do you think about
this idea? And I know from there that's not a
great one to pursue, you know, you toss it back
and forth.

Speaker 3 (02:43:15):
Yeah, but that's something I need, Like I thrive on that,
so coming here with it idea.

Speaker 7 (02:43:21):
Man, I don't know if it's old school or what.
I know a lot of people pivoted to it in
a way that works for them. I like going to work.
I like going to a place.

Speaker 10 (02:43:31):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:43:31):
When COVID hit, I also had a four year old too,
so that would have been very different. I'm like, I
can't do this with a little girl running around.

Speaker 3 (02:43:39):
I just can't.

Speaker 7 (02:43:41):
So but ten years removed, maybe it could have been
something to yah. I like having a place to go.
And again, it would be different if I had like
an office job. But I come in here and I
play with my toys. But you know, these people that
work for companies. You know, my son works from home.
He works cybersecurity and.

Speaker 3 (02:43:58):
The company and the team that company here for in
the team that he leads, he can do from anywhere. Yeah,
and he does.

Speaker 7 (02:44:04):
His roommate is in a similar kind of line of work,
but he goes into an office.

Speaker 3 (02:44:10):
He's on a team that is in an office every day.
And you know, if that's what it's been like from
the jump for you, that's all you know. Somebody texted
me right now, you shut the f up right now
about advocating for working in the office, And again, I'm
not advocating for anything. I fully understand why people who

(02:44:31):
have been remote don't want to go back because these
people rightly are like, I don't get paid extra to
sit in traffic.

Speaker 8 (02:44:39):
No, known't getting paid. They're not paying me for my commute. Yeah,
it cost me money to come. Like when they when
when this whole thing happened with us getting on the
air every day together, that that cost me money the beginning.

Speaker 7 (02:44:54):
That's what I told them when they came to me
and said, Hey, we're letting Bill and Mary go.

Speaker 3 (02:44:58):
Do you have any ideas?

Speaker 7 (02:44:59):
I said, just find someone who is gonna be really
inconvenienced by this. Yeah, I said, I'm gonna need somebody
who make sure it costs them money.

Speaker 8 (02:45:10):
Do you know someone who was in at five am
every day like and then just completely flip his whole
life around a month after he got a puppy?

Speaker 3 (02:45:18):
Do you have any you know anybody like that? And
they said, have we got a.

Speaker 14 (02:45:21):
Guy for you?

Speaker 3 (02:45:22):
They were psyched. They said what about Rob? I said, Rob?

Speaker 6 (02:45:27):
Who?

Speaker 3 (02:45:28):
Perfect? Rob? Who's Rob? I knew who Rob was?

Speaker 8 (02:45:34):
Hey, Rob, I just turned the show off for a
minute so that I could listen to Jimmy Buffett. So
eat that not Jeane from Parma, somebody else, Gene from Parma,
somebody else.

Speaker 3 (02:45:53):
Yeah, well, I'm sorry that you enjoyed crap music.

Speaker 10 (02:45:56):
Gene.

Speaker 3 (02:45:57):
By the way, Uh, you're turning me off too.

Speaker 4 (02:46:00):
I know.

Speaker 3 (02:46:01):
I know Rob's like the I hate Buffett guy.

Speaker 7 (02:46:04):
But hey, Rob, I just turned the show off's I
can listen to Jimmy Buffett.

Speaker 3 (02:46:07):
Hey turn me off too.

Speaker 8 (02:46:09):
Gene from Parma, that's not who that is, Rob, That's
not Gene Fromma. That's somebody else. It's somebody else, not
Gene from Parma.

Speaker 3 (02:46:20):
I don't know. If people could do their jobs from home,
I say let them. I agree with that.

Speaker 7 (02:46:25):
I agree too for most jobs, I agree with that.
But you're also lying the work from home people. You
are lying if you say that you treat it the
same you would if you were at work. And I
know that that's where people fall on either side of
that argument. It is different, of course, and they say

(02:46:46):
there's no loss in productivity.

Speaker 3 (02:46:49):
That may or may not be true.

Speaker 7 (02:46:53):
But I also know that, you know, companies were really
drilling down on making sure they were tracking their omployees too,
because people are people, yeah, tracking their employees or you know.
And then necessity is the mother of invention. So there'd
be people that would have these things attached to their
mouse that would jiggle it every so often, right, so
they could walk off and do something and jiggle their mouth.

(02:47:15):
So that's the environment that you're creating with that. I
don't really have a dog in that fight. But I
think people on both sides are being disingenuous. I think
there's this thought that the that work from home culture
is somehow better, or it's more streamlined or whatever. People
on both sides are being disingenuous. Well, when I call

(02:47:36):
customer service and it's a guy who's clearly kind of
just hanging out and his dog is in the living room,
I don't have a problem with that, Nope. But when
he's reacting to me like he's kind of paying attention,
I'm like, Okay, well, then this is a thing.

Speaker 12 (02:47:51):
Now.

Speaker 7 (02:47:51):
Would he be different in an office, Maybe not. Maybe
he'd be the same dope in the office.

Speaker 3 (02:47:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:47:57):
I guarantee you productivity does not drop from people working
at home.

Speaker 3 (02:48:01):
I think it could probably. I think people front load
their tasks.

Speaker 8 (02:48:04):
I think they get everything they have to get done
done to keep their bosses off their ass, and then
they cut and then you're like, oh, I can go
cut the grass.

Speaker 3 (02:48:11):
Now I can go take a shower.

Speaker 8 (02:48:13):
I can And that that was where I struggled being
at home, because I have wicked bad She's wicked I
have bad Uh well that, yes, but I have a
shiny object syndrome terribly.

Speaker 3 (02:48:24):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:48:25):
So I would be sitting there and i'd be, you know,
writing something, and I would I would get oh, you know,
so and so show just premiered on Netflix to ravers
and like, hmmm, boy, imagine how much better I could
write if I watched that, oh you know, and I'd
be like, oh, dude, it was terrible, terrible, And I'd
be sitting there and nothing to do. So I'd go

(02:48:45):
outside and I'd have a cigarette and light a fire,
you know, because I did. I started smoking for a
little while during COVID. I'd have a little fight. Yeah wow, yeah,
very very short time. But yeah, man, I I would.

Speaker 3 (02:49:00):
I would. I'd find anything I've been where. I don't
want to paint this room, paint the room, paint the room.

Speaker 7 (02:49:07):
But alan, I work at home, and I do more
at home than I ever did in the office because
I feel like they're watching me. Oh so it's like
a big brother sit. I don't know if I believe, well,
I'll take them at their word. Big brother is watching.
I might have a little ditty to that effect.

Speaker 12 (02:49:25):
And now I must leave you as The Brady Bunch
is on, and I find four of those children incredibly arousing.

Speaker 4 (02:49:31):
Get at it.

Speaker 15 (02:49:33):
Be careful of what you say. Be careful in every way,
Be careful of what you do. Big Brother is watching you.
Be circumspect and discreet, Stay light on your mental feet.

(02:49:54):
One slip and you know who you're through. Big Brother
is watching you. Come on with all directives. Remember obedience page,
and when you watch that DV screens, remember it works
both ways.

Speaker 4 (02:50:15):
You disappear in.

Speaker 15 (02:50:16):
A wink unless you can double think, you'll vanish into
the blue. Big Brother is watching you.
