Tony Katines in the Morning News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
My name is Craig Collins, coming in.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'm officially starting the campaign after we joked about it
a little bit in the last segment, to have John
at Cruz help Matt Behar recharge his AC at your
local autostone.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
This can be a.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Remake of the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle video that is
very viral and very popular under THEWIBC family. I think
I'm going to say it here with no ability to
actually make this promise good. If enough people retweets my
tweet at Radio CRAIGZ and say they want to see
this video, then again nothing happens. Actually that's it. But
I think it's a great idea of Matt Bear. I
(00:44):
don't know if you want to weigh on it quickly
now if you think it's a good idea, But I
think it'll go viral the same way that Sydney's did.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I think everybody knows more about cars than I do,
and so I got blown up in a chat for this.
The traffics know anything about cars, And just back to
a segment ago where yeah, I was talking about my bumper.
Take it and then nothing about my air conditioning, knowing
nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
No, I mean, I just know you know it's not dassy, dude,
It's not that. It could be broken for a bunch
of other reasons. It might have nothing to do with it.
You might waste your money on a bottle of you know,
refrigerant that doesn't actually help. But no, I think it'd
be funny to do the video and have you guys
fix the car, mostly because again Sidney Sweeney did very
very well in her video and we got to figure
(01:25):
this out. I don't know who's wearing the tight pair
of jeans, you and John at me?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Okay, that's just what I do.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's amazing that Actually, you know, that is funnier because
the Sydney Sweeney video at the end has a zoom
in on the butt. And so if it's John ed
at the beginning fixing the car and then you walking
away in the tight jeans, that might actually go viral.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
That might be a thing to work.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I will demand all the zoom again be on me.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm noodle it, noodle it guys. I'm just the idea guy.
I come up with the thing on the.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Radio, and then I walk away and hopefully jumping off point.
You know, you're right, this is the beginning of a
great idea. Whether or not it's the end of the
great idea too, is up to you. It could be
anything else you wanted to be. All right, there is
other stuff out there to talk about, by the way,
a lot of things that are serious and important and
also just interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I'll tell you that. And I know this might be
off the radar as far as stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Going on here, with all the things about Trump to
get talked about and Epstein and everything else. But I'm
fascinated by the ongoing discussion of Emmanuel Macron and how
much he's getting beat up by his wife, Like I'm
fascinated by every time this guy's in the news. He's
in the news right now, the US has strongly rejected
French plan to recognize Palestine. This is something that Emmanuel
(02:39):
mccron came out and said, it's a very bold move.
Emanuel mccron wants to recognize the state of Palestine. And
yet all the social media responses to this are people
sharing videos and moments where it seems like Emanuel mccron's
much older wife is just beating the crap of him
or treating him like crap, and it's really interesting and
(03:00):
a part of me can't get over. I don't know
if it's the car crash thing where you watch this
and you observe it. Of Course I disagree with Macron
and what he's saying about Palestine. Of course, I think
that's a very dangerous position for any of our allies
to be taking right now. You should also know, and
maybe people don't know this, that the United States and
(03:21):
Israel had to back out of any sort of ceasefire
agreement because of Hamas. Hamas is being a provocative again
when they're supposed to not be, which is unsurprising. That
conflict initially started during a ceasefire when Hamas broke it
to horrifically attack people in Israel. So again, it's just
so interesting to see all these pieces falling together, and
(03:43):
then to also watch a person who's at the forefront
of a discussion suddenly because he's decided to put himself
there in the leader of France, who also seems to
have a really interesting problem going on at home that
he can't seem to fix. But there's multiple public displays.
I've just dislike discontempt and then full on like smacking
and stuff that seemed to be happening with a wife
(04:06):
of Emmanuel mccron, who is a much older woman to him.
And again there's something about that when that's on public
opinions minds. I don't know that you can be as
powerful of a leader as Macron's trying to be and
saying something that I blatantly and a whole lot of
others absolutely disagree with. The US has condemned it, Israel's
condemned it, a lot of others have, and it just
(04:26):
seems like a populous opinion move that the leader of
France is trying to make in order to get back
some amount of support or approval from him at a
time that I think people are uniquely unhappy with that
world leader, beyond the fact that it also seems he's
getting beaten up by his wife. All Right, on that note,
we will take a break a lot to come up.
This is Craig Collins filling in Tony Kats The Morning News,
(04:49):
ninety three WIBC. Tony Kats The Morning News, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in Matt and Carl
hang out as they do every single more on this show.
Pink Panther a great theme song here for this. The
big gigantic naked man that broke into a house in
Oklahoma has gone viral. This is unsurprising. The homeowner who
(05:13):
describes this talks about how surreal it is to have
a naked dude break into your house and then jump
in the pond for some reason, because I guess you
need to cool off after the naked break in.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Here's a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I was ready to receive my son and my mom
coming home from martial arts class. By the time I
opened the front door, the back door was being opened
by the big, fat, naked crazy guy. A big gigantic
naked man comes into your house and wanted the de
escalation is, I guess say pretty quick?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, then I saw.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
One of the.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Strangest things I've ever seen is following somebody out of
your own house into a lake that you're not supposed
to be swimming in full of snakes. Stay aware that
every place in twenty twenty five is you got some crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You got some crazy out there that seems like a
good PSA. What have we got on this topic?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
This is life in the Indie suburbs. I mean, people
jumping in your swimming pools, getting naked, showing their stuff
right there at the call to sack, roundabout action, all
that stuff, Hold the sack, thank your car, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It is yes, I did.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's fine. I've used that term before.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's it's a neighborhood thing. It's the end of a
the end of a road.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But I don't know what I would do if I
came home and there was a naked dude, you know,
just kind of ransacking my place and being naked and
all that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I mean, what would you do? Do you call the
police first?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Do you try to have a conversation, sit down for
a second, let's talk about this matter.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Make sure he puts no no mail anatomy in the
cul de sac, and I would definitely make sure that
that does not sit.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
On your couch. Oh yeah, well no, you have to
let him sit on your couch or you're a bad host.
I love the sit down. Make yourself home. We're going
to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I've said this before in the show, and I will
say it again. I am more intimidated by nudity and
like a criminal than I am by a weapon and
a criminal. I would rather have weapon in criminal than
nudity for some reason, because I think that the nudity
guy is crazier.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, you know, we guy crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, the weapon guy might just be using it as
a threat. He might not actually use it. The naked dude,
he's he's doing things you don't want him to do immediately.
So yes, I'm intimidated by that, for sure. I just
loved the homeowner and how he's like de escalation was
the first thing in my mind when a big, fat,
crazy guy walked into my house completely naked, trying to
figure out how to get him out of my house
(07:23):
and then encourage him because I would have encouraged to
jump into the pond with the snakes. He said that
it was weird to see that be the next result
of this interaction, but I've been like, dude, it's a
very chilly pond. If you're hot, you need to go
hop in there with all the snakes. I would have
been pro that decision for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And the snapping turtles.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, oh man, Oh, so many bad things happening in
this world.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yes, that's a story out there though.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That went viral and again we're not really all that
surprise that it did. I love some other stories out there.
A thief took a naked boat joy ride and used
it to disguise I don't know why there's so many naked.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
People in the news, right, Yeah, it's true, and it's
always guys. Well, of course, yeah, what we're doing grows.
We get naked in public, right, we.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Don't do that part that I love that, that's just
a thing we said. But yes, no, this thief decided
that he thought it would disguise his escape from another
crime that he had committed. I guess there was a
sleeping comp that was involved. Handcuffs were eventually used. It
sounds like a movie in the nineties, to be honest.
But Steven, thirty six years old, had a heck of
(08:34):
a weekend in New York City on which he stole
a boat and just droy rided naked on the Hudson River.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
So I stole a boat, just kind of went open
down the river and was naked and just showing the
New Yorkers where the sun don't shine.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
She's going to move it up and down the river.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Hey, listen, you're going to get rested for that man,
and you should here you are that's going to say,
I mean, we can all use the excuse that's too
hot outside. You know, it's not that heat is too humidity.
And I'm going to peel off my clothes right now.
You can't do that. This is America.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But still can't do that man's nices.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's not allowed, it's not encouraged. It's not something you
should be doing. And I've always asked that question too,
where that idea comes from with the person already committing
the crime, Like if you steal the boat first, you're
doing something crazy somewhere, and then also take all your
clothes off.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I wonder if in the criminal's mind it's like, well,
they're not going to arrest me now because now I'm naked,
so they're just going to leave me alone. But that's
that's my best guess as to why that happens. Otherwise
I can't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, if you're making the best TikTok video, you have
to get naked first and then steal.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
The boat because then you get the whole video. Do
you can get their hits on the likes? Okay? Okay, yeah, okay,
as opposed to stealing the boat.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
First, I love that you mentioned that, not for the
fieving things and all that. But yesterday I went out
to eat with the missus. We went to a restaurant.
They were doing like a tequila taste testing thing, and
Elbondido Yankee, which is an awesome tequila, had invited us
to go, so we went, and long story short, there
was a woman sitting next to us, obsessed with her
TikTok video but couldn't get it right. She's sipping the
(09:59):
tequila and doing all this stupid stuff and just keeps
taking the video and redoing it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
She must have been hammered by.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The end of this thing, because how many times she
had to redo this video.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It was nuts, though, man.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And it's so annoying because we're sitting next to her
and we're eating the food like we're enjoying everything during
the taste testing and thinking to ourselves, like, there's got
to be more to life, lady than getting this video right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Was she attractive? Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Did it matter to me at the moment, No, because
she was sitting next to me and annoying the crap
out of me. Well over and over again, trying to
take videos of herself sipping and drinking tequila.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
This is amazing how all criteria goes out the window
of the woman's attractive. I mean, she's just everything I'm
gonna sound. I mean, this is kind of where we're
at in society. I don't think I'm saying anything too
unusual here, but it's like, if you approach a woman
and you're an attractive male, and it's it's good, everything's cool.
(10:51):
But if you do it you're not an attractive male,
then it's kind of creepy and icky and everything. Yeah,
same thing with Facebook request. I mean, if it's just
kind of the way our society wild stay. I don't
know what she was doing at the bar other and
drinking tequila and making a TikTok video, but I would
assume if you're trying to up your social media profile,
going to the restaurant bar wouldn't be the best place
to do it. That Maybe you go to a club
(11:14):
or bar bar or a place with other singles, not
the place where you just order a plate of tacos
and work on your TikTok. But maybe that's what she
was doing out on the line. I mean, that's how
people make their money. And I don't discredit anyway. Somebody
makes their money. That's your living.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You go do that, you go, youbu you know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It is true that she probably has a decent social
media following and she makes money off of it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
All that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Here's the thing I kept thinking to myself, like, in
the background, if you want to take a bunch of shots,
like videos whatever, of you sipping alcohol, but you don't
want to get as hammered as I imagine she got
when she walked out of that place.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Water.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
No one's going to know the difference. You're already faking
the video by taking it six thousand times. Just start
sipping water in these shot glasses and don't keep ordering
new shots. I wonder if she just wanted the drinks
but didn't think she would get away with it. If
she didn't, you know, pretend she was doing TikTok. Maybe
this was a disguise of something else, Like maybe the
drinking was actually the plan and the TikTok videos was
(12:07):
the excute.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It was not real alcoholism.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, it could be because there were so many man
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Uh No, I was just gonna say.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I would think that maybe this would be an influencer,
somebody paying for her talkers in receipt there at the bar,
as opposed to what you and your wife were doing.
We have to pay every cent for the meil. But
she might have cut a deal with the Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That's the case. I think that's cool.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
You know, some people get really mad at influencers. I
think they're hustling. I think they're making money. I don't
like everything they do. Of course, nobody likes everything I do,
and it works out well. This is how people get paid.
And yeah, I know people say it's like, but when
you're hustling, it's still working hard when you're trying to
do the thing. And I know making videos isn't the
(12:50):
same as breaking bricks, but you still have to make
good videos and make money. I don't make money that way,
but I know a lot of people do, and I
think they're hard workers, you know, So.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I gotta be honest though, Man, if that is true
that she cut a deal with the bar, are at
some point when the shots kept flowing, they might have
been regretting the deal. They might be like, we're gonna
have to make a lot more money for this to
be okay, because you're spending a lot of money on
this alcohol because they were coming pretty regularly, So that part,
I'm pretty sure is something the bar might rethink next time.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Our spokesperson keeps ordering patrolling. Can we get her down
to the world to Guila please, she's taking.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
All the money stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, all right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up.
Craig Collins filling in, Tony Cats, The Morning News. Nice
Tony Cats, The Morning News, ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to
talk about out there. We just heard an amazing news
story a second ago about the cows that were caught.
This is incredible and if you dive deeper into this
thing in Allen County, these cows were on the run
for like a year and they were screwing up traffic,
they were doing all kinds of stuff. I'm actually kind
of sad they were caught. The investigators described the cows
(13:56):
as having the ability to run like deer and that
they were very elusive and the way they were finally found,
and it was in our news reporting on it is
a dude named Dallash schleg This is real.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I'm not making any of this up.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Apparently he's a dude from North Judson who is great
at catching cows. So the Tornado Pine Ranch organization that
somehow connected to the cows and helped the police in
the area, they got this dude Dallas out there and
he showed up. He does cowboy type duties, that's what
he sells on his website. One of them is wrangling cows,
(14:33):
and he caught the cows that had been on the
run for a year on their own without anyone else
being able to do it. So many aspects to this
story that are just incredible. And again, I really want
the cows to get out really soon. And then I
want the second movie in this trilogy of Dallas getting
these cows again, no matter how long it takes, Rambo style.
I just imagine that's a thing. But I love this story.
(14:56):
I'm att Bear. Were you aware of the cows that
were blocking people the roadways?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I was, But we've seen everything. I think I'm desensitized.
Most far, we've had We've had horses on our interstates
here in Indianapolis, we've had cows we've had lunar landings.
In fact, you know Indianapolis being the lunar because we
have so many pot holes in our streets. No, I
didn't hear about this, but I do think it's fascinating
that a man from Nord Judson specializes in cowboy things.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I think that's really cool. I mean, what a great life.
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Somebody cows get out, cows get on the other stade
somebody else and says, dude, we need you. Dude, I
need you right now, and you're the only guy that
can do it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I need Dallas Schleg on this show next week when
I fill in for Tony on Thursday and Friday. We
need to talk to the cowboy guy who does cowboy
stuff for living and gets called in to find these
cows that were on their own for a year.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Again, they were on the run.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Incredible cows don't make it a year on their own
outside without being caught.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I don't mean they can't live. I mean they are
usually a fairly easy.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
To catch animal, I thought, but these two ows were special,
so it took Dallas to bring them down.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
And I just find so much of this amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think this should absolutely be a movie, as I
said again, a trilogy. I imagine at some point the
cows will get on a plane that Dallas is on.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's just going to be fantastic, all right. Another thing out.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
There, the speed of cheetahs, by the way, I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Deer though, that's what they say about these cows.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
They're very fast.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Hey, the fast like lightning fast for cows. They are
the fastest two cows on the planet. All right, I'll
move on from that story. That fascinated me. Great job
reporting in our newsroom, fantastic, fantastically done. A lot of
people are upset with the way The Hill described Hulk Cogan.
The Hill when Hulk Hogan passed away yesterday described him
as a pro Trump wrestling star as like the entirety
(16:46):
of their descriptor on their social media page. And that's
actually the headline of the story. And people are livid
with how much that simplifies who Hulk Hogan is and
was in a way that The Hill obviously demonstrates their
Trump arrangements in or anything else. And so I wanted
to take a moment again on the show. I know
Matt Behar grew up watching wrestling.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I did too, to.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Talk about the specialness of Hulk Hogan, and there's no
better way to do that than demonstrate how much he
transcended the sport of wrestling that he was a part of.
My favorite thing of Hulk Hogan is his appearance in
Rocky three. He played the character of Thunderlips, who is
the you know, world champion wrestler, and he beats up
(17:27):
Rocky at the It's such an eighties thing. He beats
up Rocky at the beginning of that movie, and like
that was that was just such a cool moment because
you saw the real Hulk Hogan playing a version of
himself in a Rocky movie and like I remember thinking,
as a little kid like man, that's amazing they got
Hulk for.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
This because it was incredible. What did you want to say,
Matt about.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Oh, I was just thinking about the clip You're talking
about Rocky three and hul Cogan's relevance and it was
like he was a heel and it was the first
time we'd all seen him as a heel. And Rocky
was like the character hul Cogan and he was Americana
and he was the little man, and he was sticking
up for all the little men and all of a sudden,
you see Hawg Cogan as a bad guy and as
a little kid, I'm like, what.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I mean it was. It was surreal to me.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
But even if you remember, after they get done fighting
in the ring, Rocky and Holcoke and hal Cogan kind
of reverts back into that good guy shaking hands, smacking.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Him on the back and everything could be like and
everything and all that. So he was still like good guy.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
He was still keeping up that persona of being the WWF.
At the time, the WWF and their top personality, their
top good guy. He was faced, that's the wrestling term face.
He was the top face of the WWF.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So he was still there.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
That was the brand of Haul Cogan until he became
Hollywood Hogan and the WCWA in those days and reinvented
his character. Man, it doesn't matter who dies under what circumstances,
it will be politicized first.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And that's just the way we're doing it. And that's
what the Hill did it here.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I immediately get you get the clicks, and I'm not
surprised about my nay you have anymore. It is life,
it is society, and this is kind of what we want. Man,
that's what we asked for, and I don't believe that
about hal Coked. I'm gonna remember the good things, the
fact that my first Saturday Nights Made Event I ever
watched on TV. I used to watch Saturday Night Live
(19:17):
when made a e Vet would come on and be like, Oh,
it was the coolest thing. It was wrestling all my
favorite people on Saturday Night and it was just like
it was Disneyland Christmas all rolled up into one. And
I remember a particular feud with Jake Roberts and ravishing.
Ric Brude is my first introduction to wrestling, And now
that i'd look back on that that few would not
have made it on the Saturday Nights Made Event without
(19:38):
hal Cogin. He made all that possible. He made wrestling
entertainment what it is today. Our friends over at the
Fan doing their morning show. As I was walking through
the hallway a few minutes ago, they were saying, who
was bigger hal Cogan or the Rock And it's a
hell of a great question. But I still have to
give it to hall Coked because Hawg Hogan brought it
to the point of where it was now. Rock took
it to another level. But it was on that level
because of hal Cokein.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I would say, in response to that question, great question
by our sister stations asan that in terms of wrestling,
it's easily Hulkogan. I think even though The Rock was
a big time wrestler, what made him truly famous is
all this stuff he did after wrestling that was not
truly tied to his wrestling career and didn't really bring
attention back to the WWE. By the time that The
Rock became a household name, he wasn't you know, actively
(20:23):
wrestling as much he was doing other things. Hulk Hogan
always returned the spotlight to the World Wrestling Federation, the
world wrestling organization that he was a part of, and
always felt tied to it throughout a majority of his career,
even returning to.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It, you know, again and again and again later on.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
So I would say that if you're just looking at
the wrestling celebrity status of either of those people, it's
easily hul Kogan. But if you look at the totality
of their popularity, there's probably a much harder debate to
be had over to which of the two of them
were more famous at the time of their peak.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
In the world of wrestling.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
But I just don't think that the rock actually returned
the attention to anything other than himself, unlike Hulk, who
did seem to always make it about himself and wrestling.
And actually, I love the thing you referenced about the
Rocky movie because it's so true. If anyone remembers the
scene and I have the audio, I was gonna play it,
but it's not as good.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You can look it up yourself. Maybe I'll share it
on social media.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Like that sixteen minutes of television or movie is incredible
because he goes nuts. Hulk Hogan is in the stands,
he's throwing people, he's picking up Rocky and throwing him
out of the ring, like it's incredible. And then it
ends with exactly what you said, like Hulk being like
good show man.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
That was fun. Let me take a picture with you
and the kid.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And it's amazing because in that moment, also any of
us that cared about, you know, the celebrity status of
a person like Hulk Cogan did realize, Oh, okay, he
is Hulk Hogan. He's not Thunderlips, this horrible, terrible, mean guy.
He is the nice guy that we all expect him
to be when he's taking the photo and you know,
turning off the show part of all of it. So yeah,
there's something uniquely sad about simplifying this man into his
(21:59):
political feelings over the last however many years, regardless of
who he was a supporter of, because if he had
been a supporter of the other side, I still would
have been sad at his loss because of what he
meant to you know, a very popular thing from my
childhood and wrestling. And Matt's all right, well take a break,
we got a lot coming up. Oh please, are you
(22:20):
choosing this because I've talked about this or no? Yes, okay,
I just want to make sure you are Tony CAATs
The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Matt and Carl are hanging out as they
do every single morning. I have currently been watching Smallville,
which is the theme song that's being played right now,
(22:40):
mostly because you thank it easy, Mostly because when I
was in high school, this movie was on TV and
my buddy in high.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
School freaking loved it, like loved it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
We talk about it all the time, and it talked
about it so much that I wouldn't watch it. I
was like, bro, I can't, You're just gonna it's gonna
be all Smallville all day long if I ever watched
the show, And so now I'm finally doing it, and
the dude is like, you're kidding me. All these years
later and I'm into like season six now, but I
didn't know if that's why you chose that theme song, Carl.
(23:12):
I am literally for the first time watching a bunch
of the Superman show that is Smallville.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Is it worth shit? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I think it depends on well, okay, I'll say that
there's it's weird about when you binge watch something because
like there's week episodes and week seasons, and part of
you debates if you should just skip it, like do
I need to see that. In the day and age
of it was on television, and you couldn't rewatch everything
that you missed. If you got into a show, you
(23:41):
might get into it in season five and not know
all the things they're referencing. But now I think all
of us feel like we have to do our homework,
so like to binge watch a show, I have to
watch it from season one. In the first season's not
that great the third season kind of drags, but by
season six it feels like a comic book movie show
and I like that, so I'm in now. This is
(24:01):
not a spoiler because the show has been off television
for a long time. My current situation with this television
show is Clark Kent is in the Phantom zone after
being sent there by Zod, who just became a character
on the TV show. And I'm a fan and Carl
didn't know any of this was going to happen in
response to the theme song he just played. But I'm
deeply in to Smallville right now. And I do wonder
(24:24):
if we could just skip seasons if we read they're bad.
But I think we all feel like we have to
watch the whole show now that it's all available online.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I'm right about that, right or no?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
It seems like every great show has one season or
two seasons, sometimes three that you can skip and miss
Eddie Trouble. I mean, fact, my favorite show of all time,
it's always Sody in Philadelphia, and sure I think it's
the longest running comedy with actors and actresses like real people.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, ever and not cartoons yet.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yes, it's like eighteen nineteen seasons I can't remember, but
there are some seasons in the middle of it, in
episodes where you're like, that's not for me, but you
watch them and you enjoy it because you don't want
to lose the plot light and there is something too.
You're hanging out with the cast, right, Yeah, I mean,
and I'm sure it's the same with Smallville. You feel
like you get to know these people a little bit
(25:11):
and you do actually care about these characters and what's
going to happen to them, even though in the case
of it's all suddy in Philadelphia, it's like the five
worst people on the planet, but you still care what
happens to them. We're not talking about anybody who with
the integrity of Superman.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Here. It's like it's kind of like a family thing.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
These guys, these actors and actresses are my age. You know,
they're in their mid forties and I kind of grew
up with them. So yeah, you know, you watch the
bad episodes too, But each great show has that season
or that little hole in it.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
It's terrible.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yeah, that's really bad that you don't enjoy, but somebody
else might enjoy, you don't know, I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Sure, well, and what's weird about it too?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
To me, Matt is like in the world of what
didn't used to be, like what were we now have
is everything's at our fingertips. But if you did get
into a show in like season three or four and
it was bad, you probably never turn it on again.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, now I have to just barrel through it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I just I'm like, I gotta watch ten more of
these episodes before I get to the season I think
I'm gonna like but now it's good seasons, and I
guess what I've heard is eight and nine are the
best seasons of the show.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
So I'm getting closer and closer.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
You're just going to reward you soon. So exciting.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
So right now, my wife and I are binging Yellowstone
and we started watching it because we got a new
cable package and they gave us the Paramount channel for free.
But yeah, only gave us like the first five episodes
of Yellowstone and then it skipped to the second season.
I go, maybe the first season was just like a pilot,
and then none of that stuff made sense, and my
(26:37):
wife looked at him and goes, oh, we totally missed
like ten episodes.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, and so like we went back and it all
made sense.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Back in the old days, you couldn't do that. Did
they charge you for those episodes or was it still
part of the No, it was.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Kind of like a tea oh by the paramount.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, that's terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I'm just gonna say that now whenever anything I don't
like happens a communism, well yeah it does. It does
work for a lot of stuff. This has been a blast, guys,
thrilled to be on the show with you. I will
be back next week Thursday and Friday. Tony will be
back on Monday to be a part of the show.
I'm gonna go watch six to ten more episodes of
Smallville and I'll report back on Thursday as the house.
(27:20):
Season six or seven is going. But this has been fantastic.
One more time.
Tony Katines in the Morning News ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
My name is Craig Collins, coming in.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I'm officially starting the campaign after we joked about it
a little bit in the last segment, to have John
at Cruz help Matt Behar recharge his AC at your
local autostone.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
This can be a.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Remake of the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle video that is
very viral and very popular under THEWIBC family. I think
I'm going to say it here with no ability to
actually make this promise good. If enough people retweets my
tweet at Radio CRAIGZ and say they want to see
this video, then again nothing happens. Actually that's it. But
I think it's a great idea of Matt Bear. I
(00:44):
don't know if you want to weigh on it quickly
now if you think it's a good idea, But I
think it'll go viral the same way that Sydney's did.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I think everybody knows more about cars than I do,
and so I got blown up in a chat for this.
The traffics know anything about cars, And just back to
a segment ago where yeah, I was talking about my bumper.
Take it and then nothing about my air conditioning, knowing
nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
No, I mean, I just know you know it's not dassy, dude,
It's not that. It could be broken for a bunch
of other reasons. It might have nothing to do with it.
You might waste your money on a bottle of you know,
refrigerant that doesn't actually help. But no, I think it'd
be funny to do the video and have you guys
fix the car, mostly because again Sidney Sweeney did very
very well in her video and we got to figure
(01:25):
this out. I don't know who's wearing the tight pair
of jeans, you and John at me?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Okay, that's just what I do.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's amazing that Actually, you know, that is funnier because
the Sydney Sweeney video at the end has a zoom
in on the butt. And so if it's John ed
at the beginning fixing the car and then you walking
away in the tight jeans, that might actually go viral.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
That might be a thing to work.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I will demand all the zoom again be on me.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm noodle it, noodle it guys. I'm just the idea guy.
I come up with the thing on the.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Radio, and then I walk away and hopefully jumping off point.
You know, you're right, this is the beginning of a
great idea. Whether or not it's the end of the
great idea too, is up to you. It could be
anything else you wanted to be. All right, there is
other stuff out there to talk about, by the way,
a lot of things that are serious and important and
also just interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I'll tell you that. And I know this might be
off the radar as far as stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Going on here, with all the things about Trump to
get talked about and Epstein and everything else. But I'm
fascinated by the ongoing discussion of Emmanuel Macron and how
much he's getting beat up by his wife, Like I'm
fascinated by every time this guy's in the news. He's
in the news right now, the US has strongly rejected
French plan to recognize Palestine. This is something that Emmanuel
(02:39):
mccron came out and said, it's a very bold move.
Emanuel mccron wants to recognize the state of Palestine. And
yet all the social media responses to this are people
sharing videos and moments where it seems like Emanuel mccron's
much older wife is just beating the crap of him
or treating him like crap, and it's really interesting and
(03:00):
a part of me can't get over. I don't know
if it's the car crash thing where you watch this
and you observe it. Of Course I disagree with Macron
and what he's saying about Palestine. Of course, I think
that's a very dangerous position for any of our allies
to be taking right now. You should also know, and
maybe people don't know this, that the United States and
(03:21):
Israel had to back out of any sort of ceasefire
agreement because of Hamas. Hamas is being a provocative again
when they're supposed to not be, which is unsurprising. That
conflict initially started during a ceasefire when Hamas broke it
to horrifically attack people in Israel. So again, it's just
so interesting to see all these pieces falling together, and
(03:43):
then to also watch a person who's at the forefront
of a discussion suddenly because he's decided to put himself
there in the leader of France, who also seems to
have a really interesting problem going on at home that
he can't seem to fix. But there's multiple public displays.
I've just dislike discontempt and then full on like smacking
and stuff that seemed to be happening with a wife
(04:06):
of Emmanuel mccron, who is a much older woman to him.
And again there's something about that when that's on public
opinions minds. I don't know that you can be as
powerful of a leader as Macron's trying to be and
saying something that I blatantly and a whole lot of
others absolutely disagree with. The US has condemned it, Israel's
condemned it, a lot of others have, and it just
(04:26):
seems like a populous opinion move that the leader of
France is trying to make in order to get back
some amount of support or approval from him at a
time that I think people are uniquely unhappy with that
world leader, beyond the fact that it also seems he's
getting beaten up by his wife. All Right, on that note,
we will take a break a lot to come up.
This is Craig Collins filling in Tony Kats The Morning News,
(04:49):
ninety three WIBC. Tony Kats The Morning News, ninety three WIBC.
My name is Craig Collins, filling in Matt and Carl
hang out as they do every single more on this show.
Pink Panther a great theme song here for this. The
big gigantic naked man that broke into a house in
Oklahoma has gone viral. This is unsurprising. The homeowner who
(05:13):
describes this talks about how surreal it is to have
a naked dude break into your house and then jump
in the pond for some reason, because I guess you
need to cool off after the naked break in.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Here's a little bit of that audio.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I was ready to receive my son and my mom
coming home from martial arts class. By the time I
opened the front door, the back door was being opened
by the big, fat, naked crazy guy. A big gigantic
naked man comes into your house and wanted the de
escalation is, I guess say pretty quick?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, then I saw.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
One of the.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Strangest things I've ever seen is following somebody out of
your own house into a lake that you're not supposed
to be swimming in full of snakes. Stay aware that
every place in twenty twenty five is you got some crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You got some crazy out there that seems like a
good PSA. What have we got on this topic?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
This is life in the Indie suburbs. I mean, people
jumping in your swimming pools, getting naked, showing their stuff
right there at the call to sack, roundabout action, all
that stuff, Hold the sack, thank your car, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It is yes, I did.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's fine. I've used that term before.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's it's a neighborhood thing. It's the end of a
the end of a road.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But I don't know what I would do if I
came home and there was a naked dude, you know,
just kind of ransacking my place and being naked and
all that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I mean, what would you do? Do you call the
police first?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Do you try to have a conversation, sit down for
a second, let's talk about this matter.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Make sure he puts no no mail anatomy in the
cul de sac, and I would definitely make sure that
that does not sit.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
On your couch. Oh yeah, well no, you have to
let him sit on your couch or you're a bad host.
I love the sit down. Make yourself home. We're going
to talk about this.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I've said this before in the show, and I will
say it again. I am more intimidated by nudity and
like a criminal than I am by a weapon and
a criminal. I would rather have weapon in criminal than
nudity for some reason, because I think that the nudity
guy is crazier.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, you know, we guy crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, the weapon guy might just be using it as
a threat. He might not actually use it. The naked dude,
he's he's doing things you don't want him to do immediately.
So yes, I'm intimidated by that, for sure. I just
loved the homeowner and how he's like de escalation was
the first thing in my mind when a big, fat,
crazy guy walked into my house completely naked, trying to
figure out how to get him out of my house
(07:23):
and then encourage him because I would have encouraged to
jump into the pond with the snakes. He said that
it was weird to see that be the next result
of this interaction, but I've been like, dude, it's a
very chilly pond. If you're hot, you need to go
hop in there with all the snakes. I would have
been pro that decision for sure.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And the snapping turtles.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, oh man, Oh, so many bad things happening in
this world.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yes, that's a story out there though.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
That went viral and again we're not really all that
surprise that it did. I love some other stories out there.
A thief took a naked boat joy ride and used
it to disguise I don't know why there's so many naked.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
People in the news, right, Yeah, it's true, and it's
always guys. Well, of course, yeah, what we're doing grows.
We get naked in public, right, we.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Don't do that part that I love that, that's just
a thing we said. But yes, no, this thief decided
that he thought it would disguise his escape from another
crime that he had committed. I guess there was a
sleeping comp that was involved. Handcuffs were eventually used. It
sounds like a movie in the nineties, to be honest.
But Steven, thirty six years old, had a heck of
(08:34):
a weekend in New York City on which he stole
a boat and just droy rided naked on the Hudson River.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
So I stole a boat, just kind of went open
down the river and was naked and just showing the
New Yorkers where the sun don't shine.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
She's going to move it up and down the river.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Hey, listen, you're going to get rested for that man,
and you should here you are that's going to say,
I mean, we can all use the excuse that's too
hot outside. You know, it's not that heat is too humidity.
And I'm going to peel off my clothes right now.
You can't do that. This is America.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
But still can't do that man's nices.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's not allowed, it's not encouraged. It's not something you
should be doing. And I've always asked that question too,
where that idea comes from with the person already committing
the crime, Like if you steal the boat first, you're
doing something crazy somewhere, and then also take all your
clothes off.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I wonder if in the criminal's mind it's like, well,
they're not going to arrest me now because now I'm naked,
so they're just going to leave me alone. But that's
that's my best guess as to why that happens. Otherwise
I can't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, if you're making the best TikTok video, you have
to get naked first and then steal.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
The boat because then you get the whole video. Do
you can get their hits on the likes? Okay? Okay, yeah, okay,
as opposed to stealing the boat.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
First, I love that you mentioned that, not for the
fieving things and all that. But yesterday I went out
to eat with the missus. We went to a restaurant.
They were doing like a tequila taste testing thing, and
Elbondido Yankee, which is an awesome tequila, had invited us
to go, so we went, and long story short, there
was a woman sitting next to us, obsessed with her
TikTok video but couldn't get it right. She's sipping the
(09:59):
tequila and doing all this stupid stuff and just keeps
taking the video and redoing it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
She must have been hammered by.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The end of this thing, because how many times she
had to redo this video.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It was nuts, though, man.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And it's so annoying because we're sitting next to her
and we're eating the food like we're enjoying everything during
the taste testing and thinking to ourselves, like, there's got
to be more to life, lady than getting this video right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Was she attractive? Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Did it matter to me at the moment, No, because
she was sitting next to me and annoying the crap
out of me. Well over and over again, trying to
take videos of herself sipping and drinking tequila.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
This is amazing how all criteria goes out the window
of the woman's attractive. I mean, she's just everything I'm
gonna sound. I mean, this is kind of where we're
at in society. I don't think I'm saying anything too
unusual here, but it's like, if you approach a woman
and you're an attractive male, and it's it's good, everything's cool.
(10:51):
But if you do it you're not an attractive male,
then it's kind of creepy and icky and everything. Yeah,
same thing with Facebook request. I mean, if it's just
kind of the way our society wild stay. I don't
know what she was doing at the bar other and
drinking tequila and making a TikTok video, but I would
assume if you're trying to up your social media profile,
going to the restaurant bar wouldn't be the best place
to do it. That Maybe you go to a club
(11:14):
or bar bar or a place with other singles, not
the place where you just order a plate of tacos
and work on your TikTok. But maybe that's what she
was doing out on the line. I mean, that's how
people make their money. And I don't discredit anyway. Somebody
makes their money. That's your living.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You go do that, you go, youbu you know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It is true that she probably has a decent social
media following and she makes money off of it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
All that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Here's the thing I kept thinking to myself, like, in
the background, if you want to take a bunch of shots,
like videos whatever, of you sipping alcohol, but you don't
want to get as hammered as I imagine she got
when she walked out of that place.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Water.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
No one's going to know the difference. You're already faking
the video by taking it six thousand times. Just start
sipping water in these shot glasses and don't keep ordering
new shots. I wonder if she just wanted the drinks
but didn't think she would get away with it. If
she didn't, you know, pretend she was doing TikTok. Maybe
this was a disguise of something else, Like maybe the
drinking was actually the plan and the TikTok videos was
(12:07):
the excute.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It was not real alcoholism.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, it could be because there were so many man
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Uh No, I was just gonna say.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I would think that maybe this would be an influencer,
somebody paying for her talkers in receipt there at the bar,
as opposed to what you and your wife were doing.
We have to pay every cent for the meil. But
she might have cut a deal with the Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That's the case. I think that's cool.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
You know, some people get really mad at influencers. I
think they're hustling. I think they're making money. I don't
like everything they do. Of course, nobody likes everything I do,
and it works out well. This is how people get paid.
And yeah, I know people say it's like, but when
you're hustling, it's still working hard when you're trying to
do the thing. And I know making videos isn't the
(12:50):
same as breaking bricks, but you still have to make
good videos and make money. I don't make money that way,
but I know a lot of people do, and I
think they're hard workers, you know, So.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I gotta be honest though, Man, if that is true
that she cut a deal with the bar, are at
some point when the shots kept flowing, they might have
been regretting the deal. They might be like, we're gonna
have to make a lot more money for this to
be okay, because you're spending a lot of money on
this alcohol because they were coming pretty regularly, So that part,
I'm pretty sure is something the bar might rethink next time.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Our spokesperson keeps ordering patrolling. Can we get her down
to the world to Guila please, she's taking.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
All the money stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, all right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up.
Craig Collins filling in, Tony Cats, The Morning News. Nice
Tony Cats, The Morning News, ninety three WIBC.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to
talk about out there. We just heard an amazing news
story a second ago about the cows that were caught.
This is incredible and if you dive deeper into this
thing in Allen County, these cows were on the run
for like a year and they were screwing up traffic,
they were doing all kinds of stuff. I'm actually kind
of sad they were caught. The investigators described the cows
(13:56):
as having the ability to run like deer and that
they were very elusive and the way they were finally found,
and it was in our news reporting on it is
a dude named Dallash schleg This is real.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I'm not making any of this up.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Apparently he's a dude from North Judson who is great
at catching cows. So the Tornado Pine Ranch organization that
somehow connected to the cows and helped the police in
the area, they got this dude Dallas out there and
he showed up. He does cowboy type duties, that's what
he sells on his website. One of them is wrangling cows,
(14:33):
and he caught the cows that had been on the
run for a year on their own without anyone else
being able to do it. So many aspects to this
story that are just incredible. And again, I really want
the cows to get out really soon. And then I
want the second movie in this trilogy of Dallas getting
these cows again, no matter how long it takes, Rambo style.
I just imagine that's a thing. But I love this story.
(14:56):
I'm att Bear. Were you aware of the cows that
were blocking people the roadways?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I was, But we've seen everything. I think I'm desensitized.
Most far, we've had We've had horses on our interstates
here in Indianapolis, we've had cows we've had lunar landings.
In fact, you know Indianapolis being the lunar because we
have so many pot holes in our streets. No, I
didn't hear about this, but I do think it's fascinating
that a man from Nord Judson specializes in cowboy things.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I think that's really cool. I mean, what a great life.
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Somebody cows get out, cows get on the other stade
somebody else and says, dude, we need you. Dude, I
need you right now, and you're the only guy that
can do it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I need Dallas Schleg on this show next week when
I fill in for Tony on Thursday and Friday. We
need to talk to the cowboy guy who does cowboy
stuff for living and gets called in to find these
cows that were on their own for a year.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Again, they were on the run.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Incredible cows don't make it a year on their own
outside without being caught.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I don't mean they can't live. I mean they are
usually a fairly easy.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
To catch animal, I thought, but these two ows were special,
so it took Dallas to bring them down.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
And I just find so much of this amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think this should absolutely be a movie, as I
said again, a trilogy. I imagine at some point the
cows will get on a plane that Dallas is on.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's just going to be fantastic, all right. Another thing out.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
There, the speed of cheetahs, by the way, I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Deer though, that's what they say about these cows.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
They're very fast.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Hey, the fast like lightning fast for cows. They are
the fastest two cows on the planet. All right, I'll
move on from that story. That fascinated me. Great job
reporting in our newsroom, fantastic, fantastically done. A lot of
people are upset with the way The Hill described Hulk Cogan.
The Hill when Hulk Hogan passed away yesterday described him
as a pro Trump wrestling star as like the entirety
(16:46):
of their descriptor on their social media page. And that's
actually the headline of the story. And people are livid
with how much that simplifies who Hulk Hogan is and
was in a way that The Hill obviously demonstrates their
Trump arrangements in or anything else. And so I wanted
to take a moment again on the show. I know
Matt Behar grew up watching wrestling.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I did too, to.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Talk about the specialness of Hulk Hogan, and there's no
better way to do that than demonstrate how much he
transcended the sport of wrestling that he was a part of.
My favorite thing of Hulk Hogan is his appearance in
Rocky three. He played the character of Thunderlips, who is
the you know, world champion wrestler, and he beats up
(17:27):
Rocky at the It's such an eighties thing. He beats
up Rocky at the beginning of that movie, and like
that was that was just such a cool moment because
you saw the real Hulk Hogan playing a version of
himself in a Rocky movie and like I remember thinking,
as a little kid like man, that's amazing they got
Hulk for.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
This because it was incredible. What did you want to say,
Matt about.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Oh, I was just thinking about the clip You're talking
about Rocky three and hul Cogan's relevance and it was
like he was a heel and it was the first
time we'd all seen him as a heel. And Rocky
was like the character hul Cogan and he was Americana
and he was the little man, and he was sticking
up for all the little men and all of a sudden,
you see Hawg Cogan as a bad guy and as
a little kid, I'm like, what.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I mean it was. It was surreal to me.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
But even if you remember, after they get done fighting
in the ring, Rocky and Holcoke and hal Cogan kind
of reverts back into that good guy shaking hands, smacking.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Him on the back and everything could be like and
everything and all that. So he was still like good guy.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
He was still keeping up that persona of being the WWF.
At the time, the WWF and their top personality, their
top good guy. He was faced, that's the wrestling term face.
He was the top face of the WWF.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So he was still there.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
That was the brand of Haul Cogan until he became
Hollywood Hogan and the WCWA in those days and reinvented
his character. Man, it doesn't matter who dies under what circumstances,
it will be politicized first.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And that's just the way we're doing it. And that's
what the Hill did it here.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I immediately get you get the clicks, and I'm not
surprised about my nay you have anymore. It is life,
it is society, and this is kind of what we want. Man,
that's what we asked for, and I don't believe that
about hal Coked. I'm gonna remember the good things, the
fact that my first Saturday Nights Made Event I ever
watched on TV. I used to watch Saturday Night Live
(19:17):
when made a e Vet would come on and be like, Oh,
it was the coolest thing. It was wrestling all my
favorite people on Saturday Night and it was just like
it was Disneyland Christmas all rolled up into one. And
I remember a particular feud with Jake Roberts and ravishing.
Ric Brude is my first introduction to wrestling, And now
that i'd look back on that that few would not
have made it on the Saturday Nights Made Event without
(19:38):
hal Cogin. He made all that possible. He made wrestling
entertainment what it is today. Our friends over at the
Fan doing their morning show. As I was walking through
the hallway a few minutes ago, they were saying, who
was bigger hal Cogan or the Rock And it's a
hell of a great question. But I still have to
give it to hall Coked because Hawg Hogan brought it
to the point of where it was now. Rock took
it to another level. But it was on that level
because of hal Cokein.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I would say, in response to that question, great question
by our sister stations asan that in terms of wrestling,
it's easily Hulkogan. I think even though The Rock was
a big time wrestler, what made him truly famous is
all this stuff he did after wrestling that was not
truly tied to his wrestling career and didn't really bring
attention back to the WWE. By the time that The
Rock became a household name, he wasn't you know, actively
(20:23):
wrestling as much he was doing other things. Hulk Hogan
always returned the spotlight to the World Wrestling Federation, the
world wrestling organization that he was a part of, and
always felt tied to it throughout a majority of his career,
even returning to.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It, you know, again and again and again later on.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
So I would say that if you're just looking at
the wrestling celebrity status of either of those people, it's
easily hul Kogan. But if you look at the totality
of their popularity, there's probably a much harder debate to
be had over to which of the two of them
were more famous at the time of their peak.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
In the world of wrestling.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
But I just don't think that the rock actually returned
the attention to anything other than himself, unlike Hulk, who
did seem to always make it about himself and wrestling.
And actually, I love the thing you referenced about the
Rocky movie because it's so true. If anyone remembers the
scene and I have the audio, I was gonna play it,
but it's not as good.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
You can look it up yourself. Maybe I'll share it
on social media.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Like that sixteen minutes of television or movie is incredible
because he goes nuts. Hulk Hogan is in the stands,
he's throwing people, he's picking up Rocky and throwing him
out of the ring, like it's incredible. And then it
ends with exactly what you said, like Hulk being like
good show man.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
That was fun. Let me take a picture with you
and the kid.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
And it's amazing because in that moment, also any of
us that cared about, you know, the celebrity status of
a person like Hulk Cogan did realize, Oh, okay, he
is Hulk Hogan. He's not Thunderlips, this horrible, terrible, mean guy.
He is the nice guy that we all expect him
to be when he's taking the photo and you know,
turning off the show part of all of it. So yeah,
there's something uniquely sad about simplifying this man into his
(21:59):
political feelings over the last however many years, regardless of
who he was a supporter of, because if he had
been a supporter of the other side, I still would
have been sad at his loss because of what he
meant to you know, a very popular thing from my
childhood and wrestling. And Matt's all right, well take a break,
we got a lot coming up. Oh please, are you
(22:20):
choosing this because I've talked about this or no? Yes, okay,
I just want to make sure you are Tony CAATs
The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in. Matt and Carl are hanging out as they
do every single morning. I have currently been watching Smallville,
which is the theme song that's being played right now,
(22:40):
mostly because you thank it easy, Mostly because when I
was in high school, this movie was on TV and
my buddy in high.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
School freaking loved it, like loved it.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
We talk about it all the time, and it talked
about it so much that I wouldn't watch it. I
was like, bro, I can't, You're just gonna it's gonna
be all Smallville all day long if I ever watched
the show, And so now I'm finally doing it, and
the dude is like, you're kidding me. All these years
later and I'm into like season six now, but I
didn't know if that's why you chose that theme song, Carl.
(23:12):
I am literally for the first time watching a bunch
of the Superman show that is Smallville.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Is it worth shit? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I think it depends on well, okay, I'll say that
there's it's weird about when you binge watch something because
like there's week episodes and week seasons, and part of
you debates if you should just skip it, like do
I need to see that. In the day and age
of it was on television, and you couldn't rewatch everything
that you missed. If you got into a show, you
(23:41):
might get into it in season five and not know
all the things they're referencing. But now I think all
of us feel like we have to do our homework,
so like to binge watch a show, I have to
watch it from season one. In the first season's not
that great the third season kind of drags, but by
season six it feels like a comic book movie show
and I like that, so I'm in now. This is
(24:01):
not a spoiler because the show has been off television
for a long time. My current situation with this television
show is Clark Kent is in the Phantom zone after
being sent there by Zod, who just became a character
on the TV show. And I'm a fan and Carl
didn't know any of this was going to happen in
response to the theme song he just played. But I'm
deeply in to Smallville right now. And I do wonder
(24:24):
if we could just skip seasons if we read they're bad.
But I think we all feel like we have to
watch the whole show now that it's all available online.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I'm right about that, right or no?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
It seems like every great show has one season or
two seasons, sometimes three that you can skip and miss
Eddie Trouble. I mean, fact, my favorite show of all time,
it's always Sody in Philadelphia, and sure I think it's
the longest running comedy with actors and actresses like real people.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, ever and not cartoons yet.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yes, it's like eighteen nineteen seasons I can't remember, but
there are some seasons in the middle of it, in
episodes where you're like, that's not for me, but you
watch them and you enjoy it because you don't want
to lose the plot light and there is something too.
You're hanging out with the cast, right, Yeah, I mean,
and I'm sure it's the same with Smallville. You feel
like you get to know these people a little bit
(25:11):
and you do actually care about these characters and what's
going to happen to them, even though in the case
of it's all suddy in Philadelphia, it's like the five
worst people on the planet, but you still care what
happens to them. We're not talking about anybody who with
the integrity of Superman.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Here. It's like it's kind of like a family thing.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
These guys, these actors and actresses are my age. You know,
they're in their mid forties and I kind of grew
up with them. So yeah, you know, you watch the
bad episodes too, But each great show has that season
or that little hole in it.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
It's terrible.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yeah, that's really bad that you don't enjoy, but somebody
else might enjoy, you don't know, I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Sure, well, and what's weird about it too?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
To me, Matt is like in the world of what
didn't used to be, like what were we now have
is everything's at our fingertips. But if you did get
into a show in like season three or four and
it was bad, you probably never turn it on again.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, now I have to just barrel through it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I just I'm like, I gotta watch ten more of
these episodes before I get to the season I think
I'm gonna like but now it's good seasons, and I
guess what I've heard is eight and nine are the
best seasons of the show.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
So I'm getting closer and closer.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
You're just going to reward you soon. So exciting.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
So right now, my wife and I are binging Yellowstone
and we started watching it because we got a new
cable package and they gave us the Paramount channel for free.
But yeah, only gave us like the first five episodes
of Yellowstone and then it skipped to the second season.
I go, maybe the first season was just like a pilot,
and then none of that stuff made sense, and my
(26:37):
wife looked at him and goes, oh, we totally missed
like ten episodes.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, and so like we went back and it all
made sense.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Back in the old days, you couldn't do that. Did
they charge you for those episodes or was it still
part of the No, it was.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Kind of like a tea oh by the paramount.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, that's terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I'm just gonna say that now whenever anything I don't
like happens a communism, well yeah it does. It does
work for a lot of stuff. This has been a blast, guys,
thrilled to be on the show with you. I will
be back next week Thursday and Friday. Tony will be
back on Monday to be a part of the show.
I'm gonna go watch six to ten more episodes of
Smallville and I'll report back on Thursday as the house.
(27:20):
Season six or seven is going. But this has been fantastic.
One more time.
