Speaker 1 (00:06):
Mama Genesis. All right, not the best, not the best,
But good morning everybody. Welcome to my live stream. We
are way out east on Long Island on this Monday.
It's a Monday. We just had two glorious beach days
and now we got to deal with them.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Oh, I don't have to deal with them Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Wait a minute, I don't work anymore. Oh I kind
of work? Do I work? Yeah? I sort of work.
I do something I love. So is it work? I
don't know when you get retire. I don't know. Why
would I retire if I just enjoy doing this? This
is like, this is like a hobby. At this point,
do you retire from your hobbies? Hell no, Let's say
(00:47):
hi to a few people. We got Ralph, Ralph P
and New York City. Good morning, gh is listening here
from good old New York City. Well, Ralph, you know
that Mayor Adams, Oh my god, the the great Mayor
Adams has declared war on rats. New York City's war
(01:11):
on rats has begun on again. Oh my god, what
are they gonna do differently this time? What are they
gonna do? And you know, over the years, people have said,
you know, there are more rats than people in New
York City. I'm actually imitating myself because I have said
that many, many times. You know, there's more rats in
(01:32):
New York City than people. Turns out that's not true.
It's not true. They actually did a very concise counting
of the rats. I don't know how you have a
very concise counting of the rats.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And they discovered back in.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Twenty fourteen that there were two million rats in New
York City. And then they did a concise counting of
the rats a year or two ago and they realized,
oh my god, we now have three million rats in
New York City. And between twenty fourteen and current day,
(02:09):
we had a lot of wars on rats, and I
guess it didn't work. But Eric Adams, he's declaring war
on rats, and you might ask yourself, hey, why did
the rat population go from two million to three million?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
We had something called a shutdown, and after the shutdown,
we had a lot of people eating on the streets
all over New York City. So that gave the rats
a lot more to eat.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Simple as that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But this time around, Eric Adams, oh my god, he's
just amazing this. Eric Adams is one of the greatest
mayors we've ever had in New York City. Oh my god,
they're gonna do rat birth control. People, they're gonna do
rat birth control, as they declare war on rats. Yes,
(03:00):
birth control, And then it's and then it's one of
these things. Soon as they soon as the rats stop
eating this thing that they like, it's kind of a
fatty thing, they're gonna have bait stations and the rats,
you gonna eat this, this this delicious fatty thing, and
somehow after they eat it, right, they're not gonna be
able to give birth. But soon as the city goes,
(03:22):
you know what, we can't afford to keep putting the
bait out for the rats.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
As soon as they.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Stop eating it, they could get pregnant again. So good luck,
good luck to the mayor of New York City and
his war on on rats, Ralph pay Who else we got?
We got Jerry Shepperdini, How are you? Morgan Spurlock did
a documentary on rats in twenty sixteen, Wild Stuff under Nycity.
(03:48):
I know Jerry Shepperdini. I had Morgan Spurlock on my
radio show many many times, and he came in for
that rat documentary and it plays. It plays like ah
a film, ah, a film. If you've never seen it,
I would definitely check that one out from Morgan Spurlock.
(04:10):
Kind of mad, kind of pissed off. For the first
time in a very very long time, a movie really
just just bothered me, made me mad, made me want
to throw something at one of my TVs. This Happy
Gilmore Too is a hunk of shit. Adam Sandlers but
(04:33):
he finally decides to do a sequel what twenty somebody
years later and he puts out this pile of steaming
dog crap, and we're like, you know what, why don't
we watch The Happy Gilmore Too?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Uh so we uh we put that on Friday night,
And what a I want by Friday night back. I'd
rather hang out with rats in New York City than
than watched this stupid Happy Gilmore Too. It drove me
nuts how bad this movie was.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh my god, I get it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Adam Sandlers now are drunk and he's hiding liquor in
everyday items around the house so he can drink. Oh
this this movie drove me nuts. It's so bad.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's so fucking bad. Don't watch it'll it'll make it dumber.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh did he crash a golf cart because he's drunk?
Oh my god? And then you know you got all
these cameos, right, you got the John Daly. Why didn't
you use John Daly better? Why didn't you use Steve
Buscemi better? Why do you have Rory McElroy staring at
(05:44):
a camera for his cameo like he's never seen a
camera before? And what about the golf montage when he
decides to get back into golf and he's playing with Andre,
that Andre guy and two other people. The one guy
writes for SNL, he writes funny skits and then some
broad That whole sequence sucked so bad you would think
(06:09):
someone in the editing room would go, you know what,
this isn't really working. We can't use this. There's not
a funny fucking line in this whole sequence. Ben Stiller,
Oh enough of Ben Still, Oh enough of Adam Sandler's
wife and every one of his movies. Oh enough with
his daughters. Just write a movie for your daughters and
(06:32):
be done with it. Adam Sandlor walked through Happy Gilmour
Too like he didn't want to be there. He looked
fucking miserable. Why does it bother you so much. I
don't know why it bothers me so much, you know.
And I wrote some of these things on the Twitter, right,
you know, because everyone has an opinion on the Twitter.
(06:53):
Then some guy goes, you know, when people start realizing
that some of the stuff I put on Twitter is
to really just trigger you, it makes it so much
more fun. But I wrote a few opinions on the
Twitter about the Happy Gilmore Too, and some idiot goes, hey, what.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Movies have you made? Wait?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And then he adds this ready, he added this, Oh wait,
well you're gonna wait a long time. You're gonna be
making a whole bunch of popcorn. And this is what's
said about watching movies. You know, we did. The Happy
Gilmore Too. Drove me absolutely for real, it drove me nuts.
(07:41):
I'm like, why am I so up? I think I'm
bothered because I think Adam Sandler is a very talented man.
But I think he's got into the habit of just
throwing out just a ton of movies quantity over quality.
If you search for movies on the net, flex oh,
but there's twenty Adam Sadler movies you never even heard of.
(08:04):
He's just pumping them out left and right, and I
was looking forward to, you know, maybe a little little
sequel to the Happy Gilmore. I'm here to say that
Happy Gilmore Too could be worse than Caddy Shack Too.
And I know that sacrilege to say, because Caddy Shik,
Caddy Shik, Caddy Shack Too was just garbage, absolute garbage.
(08:29):
Then I'm not gonna lie to you. Saturday night, we uh,
we were looking for a movie, and I'm like, I
think it's I think it's my daughter's turn to, you know,
watch something she might like. And then we watched that
I don't know, that animated K pop movie and it
was fucking good.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It was better than.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Happy Gilmore Too. I don't even know the name of it.
It's some animated K pop movie with very very catchy songs.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
It's it's a girl group and one of them she's
hiding the fact that she's actually a demon, and they
don't like the demons. And then there's a boy group
that was developed by the demons to take over the
world and take over the girl group, and then the
main member of the boy group falls in love with
the chicken. The girl group that might be a demon,
while we find out she is a demon. And then
(09:21):
they got to work through that whole thing. Oh my god,
what do they got it to? Oh wow? But in between,
let's sing along to some catchy pop songs, k pop songs.
But cheers to that movie. Man, you kicked a happy
Gilmour Two's ass. You absolutely did. Sending stars motivates open
to continue live streaming daily. That old gag, that old
(09:45):
gag I'll make. I'll make seven dollars today. Thanks Facebook.
I appreciate it. Thank you. You know, I looked at
Facebook this morning in one of my videos, I'm like, wow,
why is this video doing so well? And it's Jackie
the joke man from the old Howard Stern Show talking
about Howard Stern possibly retiring and uh, you know, and
(10:05):
for whatever reason, this this Facebook video is up to
two hundred thousand views and I've made uh, I've made
thirty seven cents on that. So thank you Facebook, your
your rocket. Thank you. I appreciate the partnership I got
with you. Oh my god, spawny brother man, brother man,

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Nick? Hi, John Kurtz, how are you brother?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We got bob uh oh the pink banner thing a
boo honckey tonk Tennessee. It's it's it's it's eye grabby.
That's why I could change it to a more masculine,
you know color, if that helps you out? All right,
all right, but what's wrong? What's wrong with my Oh?
(10:50):
You can't even see the banner because of the other
thing on it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You know why?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Let me get rid of the battery.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You might be right on this today. All right, let's
get rid of the battery.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is that better for you? I hope?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
So checking in from upstate New York? What's going on?
A big cloudy today? All right? We got sunny skies.
We've got sunny skies at the beach, hopefully less of
a rip current because I don't feel like jumping in again.
I don't feel like doing that again. No, no, and
no no. I'm I'm by Bethel, but I think to
(11:26):
someone come out soon? All right? Cool? Well, enjoy that?
All right? All right? Hope he's going the lady die route.
What does that mean? Let me get rid of this idiot?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I hope you enjoyed your time with greatness, but you're
now gone.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Rats eat slices of pizza. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Man, you know, they declared war on rats. So we're
looking forward to seeing how that works out for New
York City. I mean us New Yorkers, a lifetime New Yorkers.
I guess I gotta say that at this point because
I've spent twenty fucking years in that city. Maybe more
at this point, right, yeah, more. I think I gotta
say twenty five years in New York City. Oh by god,
(12:07):
I literally wasted my time in New York. Wasted by time.
By the way, Clmo's gonna be your next mayor. He's
gonna take out mom My Mo Mo Mo mo my
mom my, mom my mom mo mo mo mo my
mom mom DOMI I think he's gonna take him out.
He's nipping at his heels. I think, uh, I think
(12:28):
Clmeo's gonna be the next mayor of New York City,
which you know, and then he's gonna then he's gonna
do stupid shit to small businesses again. The Cuomo Sandwich,
Oh my god, all these like, all these bars, especially Struggling,
and Cuomo came up with the Cuomo sandwich where you
(12:52):
had to serve sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
If you were serving alcohol.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So these poor little uh you know, little mom and
pop places trying to make a living, they had to
make some weird, little dumb sandwich to comply to the
Clomo sandwich law. And it drove a lot of the
small businesses in New York City nuts because it was
a waste of time, so that they made the worst
sandwich possible. Like, look, you got to buy a sandwich too,
(13:17):
or I'll get fined. Lead the small businesses alone, please, please,
thank you. All right, I'm here to haunt you. Well
you're gone.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Goodbye, you're gone. Some guy goes, I'm here to haunt you. Well, goodbye,
you're gone.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Uh, what else is going on in the world?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well, you got Trump, right, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Trump. Trump makes me laugh, and he also makes me
say to myself and out loud, obviously what it has
killing his wife off at the start of the movie.
And it's such a weird tone. Oh and happy Gilmore too. Yeah,
that's a spoiler, bro, that's a spoiler. We don't do
(14:12):
spoilers here anymore. We used to ruin movies all the time,
but we don't. We don't do spoilers.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We don't talk about how happy Gilmore too started with
the drive that went awry and killed his wife. The
only reason they killed off his wife was because she's like,
I ain't gonna be in.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That honk of shit movie.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'll give you, I'll give you a couple of minutes,
I'll give you a cameo like Rory McElroy, but I'm
not gonna be in that honk of shit. So then
Adam's like, well, I guess we got to kill you
off then, and then that makes him drunk, and then
he has to he has to quit golf because he
just doesn't have it in him anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yuck uh yuck.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh that first movie in Forever that really really bothered me.
But the reason why Trump, you know, makes me laugh
and then also makes me say, what an asshole. Uh.
You know, he's getting rid of a lot of traditions
down there in Washington, d C. He hates traditions. He
paved over the rose garden. The rose garden wasn't bothering anybody.
(15:17):
Poor Jackie Oh is the old I think it was
the only thing she did. Hey, can I make a guardan? Yeah,
make a garden.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
JFK is like it was Jackie O.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I hope so or this bit doesn't work that I'm
making up on the spot. So you know, Jackie Oo
comes to JFK and goes, hey, can I make a garden?
Oh yeah, make a garden. Do whatever you want with
that plot of land on the side of the White House.
And he said yes because she was distracted so he
could bring more bimbos into the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's the only reason we ever had the rose garden.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I don't know, I just made that up, but it
sounds good, right, I think it sounds good. But uh,
you know, Trump's like ew grass and bushes and flowers. Gross,
and he paved that shit over. But the latest man,
you know, there's a tradition. You're a president, you get
(16:15):
your presidential portrait and and you know they're all over
the White House, and the visitors get to go, oh look, oh,
oh my, look at the Gerald Ford presidential portrait. Oh
my god, Harry, take my picture in front of the picture.
And then you know, Trump's like, I can't stand Obama.
(16:38):
You know, Bush has let me down. And fuck is
old man too, I guess. So he removed the presidential
portraits of Obama, Bush and Bush Senior to an area
of the white house that's off limits. So basically he
put the portraits in the attic. Man, I've worked for
some vindictive people in my life, but this Trump is vindictive.
(17:03):
Oh my god. And I'm moving up the stairs. If
you need to know what does that mean? Oh well,
I was in a fraternity at Genesee, you know, I
was at five sig and then we got our chapter
revoked because we were bad, bad boys. And now we're
called something else, five something something I don't know. And
(17:23):
you know, we have pledge. We have brothers portraits, you know,
the whole all the brothers, one one picture and they
are proudly displayed around the chapter room and around the house.
And the old guys, the old portraits are slowly moving
up the stairs. So the last time I was at
(17:43):
the Fig House at Geneseo, I was like, uh oh oh,
my years being moved up the stairs into no man's land.
So there you go. Happy Gilmore is hey, ay spawn again.
Gilmore two is about twenty five years ago. Late missed
the missed the boat. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And he and Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
God bless him. He's very talented. I would never say
he's not, but I don't think the guy wants to
make movies anymore. He walked through that movie half asleep
and looking miserable.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Uh, don't troll.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Ope, not cool. I don't care if you troll. But
it's when they get spammy about it. All right, So
what's your favorite movie of all time? That is one
of the hardest questions to ever answer. I mean, Jaws
is up there. You gotta go Godfather. I mean it
could be Godfather too. When you talk about sequels, most
sequels sucks soon as you see, like when they name
a movie but blah blah two, you know it's gonna
(18:48):
be a hunk of garbage. You know, everyone understands that
Adam Sandler was making another Happy Gilmore. He should just
kind of called it Happy Gilmore More. Uh I'm now
I'm now a drunk or something like that instead of
putting that too. So you put that too, You're like,
oh great, we're wasting our time. It's so obvious. But
(19:11):
you know Trump made me lamp at the portrait thing,
that's for sure. Vincent Scaramuzo agree that movie was a bomb,
and idiots seemed to like it. I think there are
so few movies people are just settling. I mean if
you liked it as a goofy stupid movie. It was
fun to go, oh, that's Jack Nicholas. Oh the shambos
(19:32):
in this is that Rory McElroy staring into the camera
like a deer in headlights. Do yourself a favor. Adam
Sandler does not like Rory McElroy. It's so obvious because
Rory McElroy's cameo is so bad. You would think Adam
would go, oh, let's why don't we try that again
(19:52):
after lunch? But he he must have laughed himself, like, yeah,
I don't like this guy, and now he looks like
an idiot in his cameo, in his Oh what else
is going on? Oh? I got something? I got something. Yeah,
I got something today. We all like a good vending machine, right.
I was the king of the vending machine when I
(20:12):
was at Harborfields High School. King. I was the king
of the vending machine. I had scrawny they're a little
they're back on the scrawny side a little bit. But
I had very scrawny, thin arms, thin features in general.
Growing up. Puberty decided to hit me very very late,
(20:34):
and after basketball practice I discovered the old school venting machine.
That I could put my arm up the machine. It
would be awkward. I have to be all the way
on the ground, and then I would have to twist,
and then I would have to work by hand around
the wires and some of the mechanisms, and I would
find the actual buttons and I was able to push
a button and get free soda, and people would line
(20:57):
up for free soda and I would I was smart
even back then, because I was like, guys, I can't
get If I get twenty free sodas out of this thing,
they're going to know and I'm gonna be aft. I'll
do a couple of day. That's it. And it became
a kind of a parlor trick. And then obviously they
changed how that shit works, I think with that flappy thing.
(21:19):
So now you can't get your arm in there because
of the fucking flappy thing, which sucks, or it's behind
the glass obviously with the and drops drop up. But anyway,
hey Bildo, I see you brother, Good to see it.
But we all love a good vending machine. My god,
(21:39):
my god. Wait, they kicked a seventy yard field goal
and preseason football, so basically it doesn't count because it
was in pre sason a seventy yard field goal. Holy crap,
I don't watch preseason. It's stupid. And then people get
all up tight because their team loss. It's like it
(22:00):
that they're not trying to win anything. Relax, all right,
but uh, we all love a good vending machine. And
there's a city in Virginia. I don't know which city
because that that would acquire reading further. I don't read
further in a lot of these articles, but there's a
city in Virginia. Show prep bitches. Uh, a city in
(22:24):
Virginia has installed vending machines that dispense narkhan and fetanyl strips,
fetanyl test strips and narc can Now in vending machines
in a city in Virginia. It's kind of smart. It's
kind of smart actually, because you know you can get
(22:45):
your buddy to But but what now you got to
run and find one of these vending machines as your
as your buddies like half dead somewhere and now you're well,
is there an app to find the vending machine with
the nark can and save your fucking friend? That's crazy, right,
I think that's crazy. But that's a big story in
(23:08):
Virginia City. There was there was more, there was more
about it. I was just like, all right, I'm good,
I'm good. It's interesting. But it made me.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It made me do a little a little.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Searching on the internet and I was trying to find
I don't know if I actually accomplished it, but I
was trying to find some of the strangest things you
could buy from a vending machine. And one of these
things pisses me off almost as much as Happy Gilmour too.
And I'll explain in about twenty seconds. You could get
(23:41):
live crabs in China and Japan in a vending machine.
You could dispense live fresh crabs.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
They're kept at a low temperature to keep them dormant,
and they're usually sold in subway stations for on the
ghost seafood. Oh my god, look, man, I talk about
there's a there's a sushi restaurant in New York City.
It's literally in the subway system. There's a little area
if you come to New York it's it's worth checking
(24:10):
out for a slice of pizza or maybe some sushi.
It's called Turnstiles, and it's a group of very very
tiny stores that is literally just off the tracks in
the New York City subway system. And I'm telling you,
I've had I've had sushi all over the place, all
over New York City. I've tried some of the best
sushi in all of New York. And this damn subway
(24:32):
sushi place, I forget the name of it has probably
the best tuna that you could that you could buy
in all of New York and it's in a subway stop.
It's it's delicious. So when when they talk about, you know,
live crabs being sold in vending machines in the subway
system in China, I get it a little bit, I guess,
(24:53):
but number two really pisses me off. And I'll tell
you why. I'll tell you why. We all I heard about,
you know, getting used underwear in uh vending machines. Right, look,
it's not my thing. It's not my thing. But if
you're gonna ad advertise that you can get used underwear
(25:13):
in vending machines, it should be real. Just what, it's
not real. All these years I thought it was real,
it's not real. And of course it's in Japan. Of course,
no offense Japan. But you guys get a little fucking sideways.
You're a little you're you get a little weird. Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
There's a classic urban legend.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It turns out, UH that actually has some truth to it,
especially in Japan. While the practice has been largely cracked
down on and the used underwear is often fake, machines
that sell this stuff are still part of the lure.
Oh my god, so it's not it's a you know,
I would, I would, Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I would.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I would start a vending machine, you know, selling a used.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Underwear, and I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I wouldn't tell my my potential customers that actually truckers
after a cross country run soiling the underwear for my business.
I just wouldn't tell the people. I would just make
make them think, oh by god, oh by god, that's
(26:17):
my thing. I need to go to this vetting machine
and get my my my used underwear.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But I don't tell.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Them that truckers are the ones that are in the
factories helping me out with my product.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
What other crazy things you know, I believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Sausage sausage is UH is not on the strange list
in Germany. If if you've ever been to Germany, you
know they love their sausage, the sausage, and uh, they
love selling it in vending machines. You go to Germany,
you could get sausage from a goddamn vending machine. Is
(26:55):
that crazy? Of course it is h other strange things
in a vending machine. Bullets and ammunition in some parts
of the United States. You want to guess which states?
Is it? Ro Bond? Oh? No, it's not Vermont, is
it me? No, it's not Maine. Of course, it's Texas,
(27:16):
Texas and Alabama, Alabama, miam Alabama. You can get bullets
and ammunition, but to be fair, they're often located in
gun stores or shooting ranges. All right, all right, fresh
bake pizza. We've heard of that one, right, and then
another one. I started getting lazy and bored with my list,
(27:38):
and then we'll just finish the list off with champagne. Champagne,
all right? All right?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Ah ha'd be Gilmore too.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
How about Oh my God, Sandler's best movie, Going Overboard
nineteen eighty nine on TV it was called Babes Ahoy.
I don't I is that a real thing? I don't
even know. I don't know if I know that movie?
Was that one of his first movies. They're spawning. Yeah,
(28:09):
was it all right? What else is going on? H oh?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
When he says that that means he's running out of material.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm not running out of material by sort of. Scientists
have made a amazing discovery. Oh my god, you're not
gonna believe this. They're in the water in Argentina, right,
they're swimming around. Maybe we could find something new today.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Hey, Harry, you.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Haven't found anything new in a while. Your job's on
the lot. All right, I'll find something new swimming around. Ah,
I've seen all this shit before. And then the guy
comes upon something goes, what the fuck is this? Oh my,
it's a starfish and it looks well fed. This is
what I don't understand about starfishes.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I've seen him. I've seen him in aquariums.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I saw him on the north shore of Long Island
when my grandma had a house over there. You saw
the starfish. How is a starfish well fed? You ever
see a starfish move? If you're getting eaten by a starfish,
you deserve it. You're an idiot, an absolute idiot. Maybe
(29:22):
Adam Sandler and his lazy morose walking through Happy Gilmour
too sad? Maybe he could get eaten by a goddamn starfish.
Oh my god. But anyway, Argentina got a guy. It's like, oh,
that's a well fed starfish.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And even though the anus isn't located in that area
of the starfish, it looks like a big butt. It
looks like a big plump butt. If you think I'm
making this up, go online. This stupid thing's going viral.
So they're like, Harry, what do you got?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Well, look what I found. It's an overfeh storefish.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It might even be a new species of storefish. Well
what do you want to call it?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Harry?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I was thinking we name it the big butt storefish. Wait,
maybe I should have got a picture of this thing.
Let me say if I can find a picture of
the big butt starfish. Look, this is not professional, so
oh so you can wait a minute, big but remember
(30:29):
to teas and but big butt star it's a big
butt starfish.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Oh yeah, oh my god. It looks like uh uh
it looks like Patrick.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Oh my god, it looks like Patrick from from uh
the SpongeBob.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So this is uh, this is kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Actually, uh, this is kind of funny. This is the
big butt starfish they discovered in Argentina. Yeah, uh, and
it might be a new species. There's your big butt starfish.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, that looks like a butt. But then you got like, you.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Know, oh god, how about how about you let my
phone not fade away?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Why is it fade away? So quick? Can I fix that?
In settings?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
There's your big butt starfish. Looks like Patrick from SpongeBob.
That's pretty funny. But then you know, then the real
people out there, they're like, you know what, that's not
where the anus is. So even though it looks like
a butt, there's no anus in that area of the starfish.
So why are you calling it the big butt starfish?
That's not really his butt? Oh? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Let us have a laft a good law.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
All right, all right, I was I've been scrolling because
I got one more thing to do today. I was scrolling. Oh,
I was editing some audio. Over the weekend I got
I got a bunch of podcasts. Now, this is the
main one, Opie Radio for all the current stuff, but
I got a shit ton of archives of really funny
(32:02):
audio and I'm slowly going through that stuff. And I
started another podcast called Opie Funny af and I was
putting an episode together over the weekend and got it.
Miss Vick Kenley. God.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
He was a dear friend of mine, really funny guy.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
We were friends and he was also part of me,
a big part of me reinventing myself. And then the
reinventing was going very very well, because people go, oh,
why did you turn into a wreck close? Well, I
kind of couldn't handle that. I was reinventing myself with
two guys I loved hanging out with when I wasn't
(32:39):
doing podcasting and radio, and they both died within six months.
So I just went, I'm gonna go to the beach
for a while and fish.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
That's where it started. Brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
But I missed the McK kenley. He now just makes
me laugh, And I'm so happy I got all this
old audio that I could go through and and kind.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Of reminisce and laugh along and have fun.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
And uh so the new podcast hope be funny af
I was editing something and I'm going to make a
video of this. Unfortunately it's just audio, so I got
to figure out the visual part of it. But Vic
Kenley's new music knowledge is this guy? Okay, you got
to go, dude, You're just stop with the nonsense.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
We just join us.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It's way better to just join our little party every
morning instead of trying so hard with the dumb hate.
So Vic Kenley's rock and roll music knowledge was I
mean literally second to none. I I every once in
a while would stump him. And that's after doing, uh,
you know, music radio and knowing music for more years
(33:49):
than I can remember, so I know my shit. But
it was really hard to stump Vic. And it only happened.
I think I could count it on one fucking hand,
maybe five times. But I was going through this old
show finding clips for the podcast OPI Funny AF and
(34:11):
they kindly came up with this music knowledge about Leonard
skinnerd and I think it's in Sweet Home, Alabama, and
you could hear it as clear as day. Maybe you
have to listen to this part of the song like
maybe twice to really get it, but it's it's there
and the story goes. I never heard this story before.
(34:34):
Who was the lead singer about Leonard Skinner? I always
get him mixed up. Ronnie, Johnny and Donnie Donnie played
for thirty eight Special. Johnny replaced Ronnie when he died
in the plane crash. I think you got it right.
So Ronnie, I'm gonna go with Ronnie. So they're recording
sweet Home Alabama, and I guess, I guess. I guess
Ronnie especially really liked his He liked his donuts. And
(34:57):
if you listen very closely to Sweet Home Alabama, he basically,
in the middle of singing tells somebody to leave his
fucking dotuts alone.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Then they left it in the saw.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I'm gonna isolate that and make it into uh and
make it into its own, its own little video. Man,
I'm gonna break protocol today. I was hoping Richie rich
was here. You know what, I'm not gonna call it
who to Man? Because if if Richie's not in the room, uh,
we can't. We can't call it who de Man? Every
day we like to figure out who.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
The man is?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Who the man?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Who the man?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Who the man?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Who the man?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Who de man? Who the man? And uh, well, I
can't say who the man is? No, Shep Bardini, you
can't say who to man.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
It's it's Richie's bit.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
But I'm just going to acknowledge. I'm gonna just acknowledge
this person today I can't officially call them who to man,
it would it would go against the rules. Uh, we
gotta we got to acknowledge Jen Powell today. Who the
f is Jen Powell? Jen Powell?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Anyone?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Anyone?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Anyone?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
And are you raising your hand? Jen Powell became the
first woman to umpire a Major League baseball game, first,
first in history. She's going to be in Cooper's town.
She's been doing minor league games for a while. But
they're like, you know what, I don't know? Okay, so
(36:34):
Jen Powell her first pitch was a blown call. Well, yeah,
it happens. She wasn't the first female astronaut. Uh. You know,
there's why I don't respect the Catholic the Catholic Church
because they still don't have women as a priest. There'd
(36:57):
be a lot less you know what if they let
the women be the priest.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
What's do you know?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
What up? Oh? You know what? You know you have
a daughter and you go, oh wow, society really does
look at them as second class citizens.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
It pisses you off. Wait, Hope, you you were a
shock chalk. You know what you did with women back
in the day. Yeah, I know, you know, life is fluid.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Right. Life is like this, right, you could change, believe
or not, you could change. Yeah, I'm kind of a
feminist now that I have a daughter. I don't want
her to have some shitty fucking secretary job where they
pinch her heine. I want her to be the boss.
Oh my god, that's crazy. I know that's crazy to
think in twenty twenty five. Of course, of course you're right,
(37:47):
but uh, cheers to Jen Powell, first female umpire in
the in the major leagues. A couple things on that, though.
It wouldn't be me without a couple of things on that.
They you know, some of these things when you're the
first at it. Society in general they're not ready for
(38:08):
some of these changes.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
And then you realize, oh there's.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
A little there's a little space here we could squeeze in.
Think first black president Obama had to be the right
the right type of black. You know where I'm going
with this, don't you? You know they couldn't, like they couldn't.
(38:34):
I'm gonna go old school. I'm gonna go I'm gonna
go old school for like my my nineteen seventies New
York Yankees fans. First black president couldn't be let's just
say Mickey Rivers. Look up the Mickey Rivers. If you're
a youngster, you know, it's like, you know, I think
America could finally accept the first black president, But well,
(38:57):
who do we got? And then you know, the people
that actually pick this stuff, we don't. We don't pick
this stuff as voters. They go, well, they hand over
the pictures, right, and oh, this one okay, and they
saw the picture Obama and they're like, you know what,
(39:17):
he's just black enough to get this done. You know,
we do this. So with that, Jen Powell, congratulations, you're
the first female umpire in the major leagues. But they
went with, let's just say a safe pick. They went
(39:43):
with a safe pick. You know, it would have been
very impressive if the first black president looked like Mickey
Rivers or Flavor Flame. Flavor flav was to go to
damn it, that's why you're not on the radio anymore.
You stink. Oh, Flavor Flame would have made this so
much better. They're like, we can't have flavor, we can't
(40:03):
have someone some of the darkest flavor flav is the
first black president, it's gonna be a little lighter.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Is this light? And no it's not light enough.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Well, that's too light that you can't have the first
black president having a lot of freckles. What yeah, no, Now,
somewhere between the freckles and the and the and the
flavor flave, how about this girl?
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Oh but sir, I love when Trump.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Says that, sir, sir, sir, uh.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
There might be a problem with his wife.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
What you figure that one outsures? But Jen Powell was
a was a safe uh you know, first uh safe
pick for the first female MP in Major league history.
As as my brother would say, you know, she's a
handsome woman. Handsome. It would have been way more impressive
(40:56):
if like Pam Anderson in her Heyday. Fuck I go
with the Sweeney broad. That's current, all right, the Sweeney broad.
The Sweeney Broad that if the first female umpire in
the major leagues looked like the Sweeney Broad. Oh my goodness.
(41:17):
Now we're making progress, right, Hell yeah, hell to the
year double d umps. Now you're talking see Sheppardini. Just
just contribute fun stuff to the show and leave all
that other nonsense on the side. All right, thank you,
thank you, all right, I'm gonna go Now I am
(41:41):
going to you. Now, what do we got what do

Bye bye
Mama Genesis. All right, not the best, not the best,
But good morning everybody. Welcome to my live stream. We
are way out east on Long Island on this Monday.
It's a Monday. We just had two glorious beach days
and now we got to deal with them.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Oh, I don't have to deal with them Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Wait a minute, I don't work anymore. Oh I kind
of work? Do I work? Yeah? I sort of work.
I do something I love. So is it work? I
don't know when you get retire. I don't know. Why
would I retire if I just enjoy doing this? This
is like, this is like a hobby. At this point,
do you retire from your hobbies? Hell no, Let's say
(00:47):
hi to a few people. We got Ralph, Ralph P
and New York City. Good morning, gh is listening here
from good old New York City. Well, Ralph, you know
that Mayor Adams, Oh my god, the the great Mayor
Adams has declared war on rats. New York City's war
(01:11):
on rats has begun on again. Oh my god, what
are they gonna do differently this time? What are they
gonna do? And you know, over the years, people have said,
you know, there are more rats than people in New
York City. I'm actually imitating myself because I have said
that many, many times. You know, there's more rats in
(01:32):
New York City than people. Turns out that's not true.
It's not true. They actually did a very concise counting
of the rats. I don't know how you have a
very concise counting of the rats.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And they discovered back in.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Twenty fourteen that there were two million rats in New
York City. And then they did a concise counting of
the rats a year or two ago and they realized,
oh my god, we now have three million rats in
New York City. And between twenty fourteen and current day,
(02:09):
we had a lot of wars on rats, and I
guess it didn't work. But Eric Adams, he's declaring war
on rats, and you might ask yourself, hey, why did
the rat population go from two million to three million?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
We had something called a shutdown, and after the shutdown,
we had a lot of people eating on the streets
all over New York City. So that gave the rats
a lot more to eat.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Simple as that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But this time around, Eric Adams, oh my god, he's
just amazing this. Eric Adams is one of the greatest
mayors we've ever had in New York City. Oh my god,
they're gonna do rat birth control. People, they're gonna do
rat birth control, as they declare war on rats. Yes,
(03:00):
birth control, And then it's and then it's one of
these things. Soon as they soon as the rats stop
eating this thing that they like, it's kind of a
fatty thing, they're gonna have bait stations and the rats,
you gonna eat this, this this delicious fatty thing, and
somehow after they eat it, right, they're not gonna be
able to give birth. But soon as the city goes,
(03:22):
you know what, we can't afford to keep putting the
bait out for the rats.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
As soon as they.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Stop eating it, they could get pregnant again. So good luck,
good luck to the mayor of New York City and
his war on on rats, Ralph pay Who else we got?
We got Jerry Shepperdini, How are you? Morgan Spurlock did
a documentary on rats in twenty sixteen, Wild Stuff under Nycity.
(03:48):
I know Jerry Shepperdini. I had Morgan Spurlock on my
radio show many many times, and he came in for
that rat documentary and it plays. It plays like ah
a film, ah, a film. If you've never seen it,
I would definitely check that one out from Morgan Spurlock.
(04:10):
Kind of mad, kind of pissed off. For the first
time in a very very long time, a movie really
just just bothered me, made me mad, made me want
to throw something at one of my TVs. This Happy
Gilmore Too is a hunk of shit. Adam Sandlers but
(04:33):
he finally decides to do a sequel what twenty somebody
years later and he puts out this pile of steaming
dog crap, and we're like, you know what, why don't
we watch The Happy Gilmore Too?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Uh so we uh we put that on Friday night,
And what a I want by Friday night back. I'd
rather hang out with rats in New York City than
than watched this stupid Happy Gilmore Too. It drove me
nuts how bad this movie was.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh my god, I get it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Adam Sandlers now are drunk and he's hiding liquor in
everyday items around the house so he can drink. Oh
this this movie drove me nuts. It's so bad.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's so fucking bad. Don't watch it'll it'll make it dumber.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh did he crash a golf cart because he's drunk?
Oh my god? And then you know you got all
these cameos, right, you got the John Daly. Why didn't
you use John Daly better? Why didn't you use Steve
Buscemi better? Why do you have Rory McElroy staring at
(05:44):
a camera for his cameo like he's never seen a
camera before? And what about the golf montage when he
decides to get back into golf and he's playing with Andre,
that Andre guy and two other people. The one guy
writes for SNL, he writes funny skits and then some
broad That whole sequence sucked so bad you would think
(06:09):
someone in the editing room would go, you know what,
this isn't really working. We can't use this. There's not
a funny fucking line in this whole sequence. Ben Stiller,
Oh enough of Ben Still, Oh enough of Adam Sandler's
wife and every one of his movies. Oh enough with
his daughters. Just write a movie for your daughters and
(06:32):
be done with it. Adam Sandlor walked through Happy Gilmour
Too like he didn't want to be there. He looked
fucking miserable. Why does it bother you so much. I
don't know why it bothers me so much, you know.
And I wrote some of these things on the Twitter, right,
you know, because everyone has an opinion on the Twitter.
(06:53):
Then some guy goes, you know, when people start realizing
that some of the stuff I put on Twitter is
to really just trigger you, it makes it so much
more fun. But I wrote a few opinions on the
Twitter about the Happy Gilmore Too, and some idiot goes, hey, what.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Movies have you made? Wait?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And then he adds this ready, he added this, Oh wait,
well you're gonna wait a long time. You're gonna be
making a whole bunch of popcorn. And this is what's
said about watching movies. You know, we did. The Happy
Gilmore Too. Drove me absolutely for real, it drove me nuts.
(07:41):
I'm like, why am I so up? I think I'm
bothered because I think Adam Sandler is a very talented man.
But I think he's got into the habit of just
throwing out just a ton of movies quantity over quality.
If you search for movies on the net, flex oh,
but there's twenty Adam Sadler movies you never even heard of.
(08:04):
He's just pumping them out left and right, and I
was looking forward to, you know, maybe a little little
sequel to the Happy Gilmore. I'm here to say that
Happy Gilmore Too could be worse than Caddy Shack Too.
And I know that sacrilege to say, because Caddy Shik,
Caddy Shik, Caddy Shack Too was just garbage, absolute garbage.
(08:29):
Then I'm not gonna lie to you. Saturday night, we uh,
we were looking for a movie, and I'm like, I
think it's I think it's my daughter's turn to, you know,
watch something she might like. And then we watched that
I don't know, that animated K pop movie and it
was fucking good.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It was better than.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Happy Gilmore Too. I don't even know the name of it.
It's some animated K pop movie with very very catchy songs.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
It's it's a girl group and one of them she's
hiding the fact that she's actually a demon, and they
don't like the demons. And then there's a boy group
that was developed by the demons to take over the
world and take over the girl group, and then the
main member of the boy group falls in love with
the chicken. The girl group that might be a demon,
while we find out she is a demon. And then
(09:21):
they got to work through that whole thing. Oh my god,
what do they got it to? Oh wow? But in between,
let's sing along to some catchy pop songs, k pop songs.
But cheers to that movie. Man, you kicked a happy
Gilmour Two's ass. You absolutely did. Sending stars motivates open
to continue live streaming daily. That old gag, that old
(09:45):
gag I'll make. I'll make seven dollars today. Thanks Facebook.
I appreciate it. Thank you. You know, I looked at
Facebook this morning in one of my videos, I'm like, wow,

the joke man from the old Howard Stern Show talking
about Howard Stern possibly retiring and uh, you know, and
(10:05):

two hundred thousand views and I've made uh, I've made
thirty seven cents on that. So thank you Facebook, your

all right, but what's wrong? What's wrong with my Oh?
(10:50):
You can't even see the banner because of the other

So checking in from upstate New York? What's going on?
A big cloudy today? All right? We got sunny skies.
We've got sunny skies at the beach, hopefully less of
a rip current because I don't feel like jumping in again.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Goodbye.

I hope you enjoyed your time with greatness, but you're
now gone.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Rats eat slices of pizza. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Man, you know, they declared war on rats. So we're
looking forward to seeing how that works out for New
York City. I mean us New Yorkers, a lifetime New Yorkers.
I guess I gotta say that at this point because
I've spent twenty fucking years in that city. Maybe more
at this point, right, yeah, more. I think I gotta
say twenty five years in New York City. Oh by god,
(12:07):
I literally wasted my time in New York. Wasted by time.
By the way, Clmo's gonna be your next mayor. He's
gonna take out mom My Mo Mo Mo mo my
mom my, mom my mom mo mo mo mo my
mom mom DOMI I think he's gonna take him out.
He's nipping at his heels. I think, uh, I think
(12:28):
Clmeo's gonna be the next mayor of New York City,
which you know, and then he's gonna then he's gonna
do stupid shit to small businesses again. The Cuomo Sandwich,
Oh my god, all these like, all these bars, especially Struggling,
and Cuomo came up with the Cuomo sandwich where you
(12:52):
had to serve sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
If you were serving alcohol.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So these poor little uh you know, little mom and
pop places trying to make a living, they had to
make some weird, little dumb sandwich to comply to the
Clomo sandwich law. And it drove a lot of the
small businesses in New York City nuts because it was
a waste of time, so that they made the worst
sandwich possible. Like, look, you got to buy a sandwich too,
(13:17):
or I'll get fined. Lead the small businesses alone, please, please,
thank you. All right, I'm here to haunt you. Well
you're gone.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Goodbye, you're gone. Some guy goes, I'm here to haunt you. Well, goodbye,
you're gone.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Uh, what else is going on in the world?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well, you got Trump, right, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Trump. Trump makes me laugh, and he also makes me
say to myself and out loud, obviously what it has
killing his wife off at the start of the movie.
And it's such a weird tone. Oh and happy Gilmore too. Yeah,
that's a spoiler, bro, that's a spoiler. We don't do
(14:12):
spoilers here anymore. We used to ruin movies all the time,
but we don't. We don't do spoilers.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We don't talk about how happy Gilmore too started with
the drive that went awry and killed his wife. The
only reason they killed off his wife was because she's like,
I ain't gonna be in.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That honk of shit movie.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'll give you, I'll give you a couple of minutes,
I'll give you a cameo like Rory McElroy, but I'm
not gonna be in that honk of shit. So then
Adam's like, well, I guess we got to kill you
off then, and then that makes him drunk, and then
he has to he has to quit golf because he
just doesn't have it in him anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yuck uh yuck.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh that first movie in Forever that really really bothered me.
But the reason why Trump, you know, makes me laugh
and then also makes me say, what an asshole. Uh.
You know, he's getting rid of a lot of traditions
down there in Washington, d C. He hates traditions. He
paved over the rose garden. The rose garden wasn't bothering anybody.
(15:17):
Poor Jackie Oh is the old I think it was
the only thing she did. Hey, can I make a guardan? Yeah,
make a garden.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
JFK is like it was Jackie O.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I hope so or this bit doesn't work that I'm
making up on the spot. So you know, Jackie Oo
comes to JFK and goes, hey, can I make a garden?
Oh yeah, make a garden. Do whatever you want with
that plot of land on the side of the White House.
And he said yes because she was distracted so he
could bring more bimbos into the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's the only reason we ever had the rose garden.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I don't know, I just made that up, but it
sounds good, right, I think it sounds good. But uh,
you know, Trump's like ew grass and bushes and flowers. Gross,
and he paved that shit over. But the latest man,
you know, there's a tradition. You're a president, you get
(16:15):
your presidential portrait and and you know they're all over
the White House, and the visitors get to go, oh look, oh,
oh my, look at the Gerald Ford presidential portrait. Oh
my god, Harry, take my picture in front of the picture.
And then you know, Trump's like, I can't stand Obama.
(16:38):
You know, Bush has let me down. And fuck is
old man too, I guess. So he removed the presidential
portraits of Obama, Bush and Bush Senior to an area
of the white house that's off limits. So basically he
put the portraits in the attic. Man, I've worked for
some vindictive people in my life, but this Trump is vindictive.
(17:03):
Oh my god. And I'm moving up the stairs. If
you need to know what does that mean? Oh well,
I was in a fraternity at Genesee, you know, I
was at five sig and then we got our chapter
revoked because we were bad, bad boys. And now we're
called something else, five something something I don't know. And
(17:23):
you know, we have pledge. We have brothers portraits, you know,
the whole all the brothers, one one picture and they
are proudly displayed around the chapter room and around the house.
And the old guys, the old portraits are slowly moving
up the stairs. So the last time I was at
(17:43):
the Fig House at Geneseo, I was like, uh oh oh,
my years being moved up the stairs into no man's land.
So there you go. Happy Gilmore is hey, ay spawn again.
Gilmore two is about twenty five years ago. Late missed
the missed the boat. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And he and Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
God bless him. He's very talented. I would never say
he's not, but I don't think the guy wants to
make movies anymore. He walked through that movie half asleep
and looking miserable.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Uh, don't troll.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Ope, not cool. I don't care if you troll. But
it's when they get spammy about it. All right, So
what's your favorite movie of all time? That is one
of the hardest questions to ever answer. I mean, Jaws
is up there. You gotta go Godfather. I mean it
could be Godfather too. When you talk about sequels, most
sequels sucks soon as you see, like when they name
a movie but blah blah two, you know it's gonna
(18:48):
be a hunk of garbage. You know, everyone understands that
Adam Sandler was making another Happy Gilmore. He should just
kind of called it Happy Gilmore More. Uh I'm now
I'm now a drunk or something like that instead of
putting that too. So you put that too, You're like,
oh great, we're wasting our time. It's so obvious. But
(19:11):
you know Trump made me lamp at the portrait thing,
that's for sure. Vincent Scaramuzo agree that movie was a bomb,
and idiots seemed to like it. I think there are
so few movies people are just settling. I mean if
you liked it as a goofy stupid movie. It was
fun to go, oh, that's Jack Nicholas. Oh the shambos
(19:32):
in this is that Rory McElroy staring into the camera
like a deer in headlights. Do yourself a favor. Adam
Sandler does not like Rory McElroy. It's so obvious because
Rory McElroy's cameo is so bad. You would think Adam
would go, oh, let's why don't we try that again
(19:52):
after lunch? But he he must have laughed himself, like, yeah,
I don't like this guy, and now he looks like
an idiot in his cameo, in his Oh what else
is going on? Oh? I got something? I got something. Yeah,
I got something today. We all like a good vending machine, right.
I was the king of the vending machine when I
(20:12):
was at Harborfields High School. King. I was the king
of the vending machine. I had scrawny they're a little
they're back on the scrawny side a little bit. But
I had very scrawny, thin arms, thin features in general.
Growing up. Puberty decided to hit me very very late,
(20:34):
and after basketball practice I discovered the old school venting machine.
That I could put my arm up the machine. It
would be awkward. I have to be all the way
on the ground, and then I would have to twist,
and then I would have to work by hand around
the wires and some of the mechanisms, and I would
find the actual buttons and I was able to push
a button and get free soda, and people would line
(20:57):
up for free soda and I would I was smart
even back then, because I was like, guys, I can't
get If I get twenty free sodas out of this thing,
they're going to know and I'm gonna be aft. I'll
do a couple of day. That's it. And it became
a kind of a parlor trick. And then obviously they
changed how that shit works, I think with that flappy thing.
(21:19):
So now you can't get your arm in there because
of the fucking flappy thing, which sucks, or it's behind
the glass obviously with the and drops drop up. But anyway,
hey Bildo, I see you brother, Good to see it.
But we all love a good vending machine. My god,
(21:39):
my god. Wait, they kicked a seventy yard field goal
and preseason football, so basically it doesn't count because it
was in pre sason a seventy yard field goal. Holy crap,
I don't watch preseason. It's stupid. And then people get
all up tight because their team loss. It's like it
(22:00):
that they're not trying to win anything. Relax, all right,
but uh, we all love a good vending machine. And
there's a city in Virginia. I don't know which city
because that that would acquire reading further. I don't read
further in a lot of these articles, but there's a
city in Virginia. Show prep bitches. Uh, a city in
(22:24):
Virginia has installed vending machines that dispense narkhan and fetanyl strips,
fetanyl test strips and narc can Now in vending machines
in a city in Virginia. It's kind of smart. It's
kind of smart actually, because you know you can get
(22:45):
your buddy to But but what now you got to
run and find one of these vending machines as your
as your buddies like half dead somewhere and now you're well,
is there an app to find the vending machine with
the nark can and save your fucking friend? That's crazy, right,
I think that's crazy. But that's a big story in
(23:08):
Virginia City. There was there was more, there was more
about it. I was just like, all right, I'm good,
I'm good. It's interesting. But it made me.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It made me do a little a little.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Searching on the internet and I was trying to find
I don't know if I actually accomplished it, but I
was trying to find some of the strangest things you
could buy from a vending machine. And one of these
things pisses me off almost as much as Happy Gilmour too.
And I'll explain in about twenty seconds. You could get
(23:41):
live crabs in China and Japan in a vending machine.
You could dispense live fresh crabs.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
They're kept at a low temperature to keep them dormant,
and they're usually sold in subway stations for on the
ghost seafood. Oh my god, look, man, I talk about
there's a there's a sushi restaurant in New York City.
It's literally in the subway system. There's a little area
if you come to New York it's it's worth checking
(24:10):
out for a slice of pizza or maybe some sushi.
It's called Turnstiles, and it's a group of very very
tiny stores that is literally just off the tracks in
the New York City subway system. And I'm telling you,
I've had I've had sushi all over the place, all
over New York City. I've tried some of the best
sushi in all of New York. And this damn subway
(24:32):
sushi place, I forget the name of it has probably
the best tuna that you could that you could buy
in all of New York and it's in a subway stop.
It's it's delicious. So when when they talk about, you know,
live crabs being sold in vending machines in the subway
system in China, I get it a little bit, I guess,
(24:53):
but number two really pisses me off. And I'll tell
you why. I'll tell you why. We all I heard about,
you know, getting used underwear in uh vending machines. Right, look,
it's not my thing. It's not my thing. But if
you're gonna ad advertise that you can get used underwear
(25:13):
in vending machines, it should be real. Just what, it's
not real. All these years I thought it was real,
it's not real. And of course it's in Japan. Of course,
no offense Japan. But you guys get a little fucking sideways.
You're a little you're you get a little weird. Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
There's a classic urban legend.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It turns out, UH that actually has some truth to it,
especially in Japan. While the practice has been largely cracked
down on and the used underwear is often fake, machines
that sell this stuff are still part of the lure.
Oh my god, so it's not it's a you know,
I would, I would, Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I would.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I would start a vending machine, you know, selling a used.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Underwear, and I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I wouldn't tell my my potential customers that actually truckers
after a cross country run soiling the underwear for my business.
I just wouldn't tell the people. I would just make
make them think, oh by god, oh by god, that's
(26:17):
my thing. I need to go to this vetting machine
and get my my my used underwear.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But I don't tell.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Them that truckers are the ones that are in the
factories helping me out with my product.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
What other crazy things you know, I believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Sausage sausage is UH is not on the strange list
in Germany. If if you've ever been to Germany, you
know they love their sausage, the sausage, and uh, they
love selling it in vending machines. You go to Germany,
you could get sausage from a goddamn vending machine. Is
(26:55):
that crazy? Of course it is h other strange things
in a vending machine. Bullets and ammunition in some parts
of the United States. You want to guess which states?
Is it? Ro Bond? Oh? No, it's not Vermont, is
it me? No, it's not Maine. Of course, it's Texas,
(27:16):
Texas and Alabama, Alabama, miam Alabama. You can get bullets
and ammunition, but to be fair, they're often located in
gun stores or shooting ranges. All right, all right, fresh
bake pizza. We've heard of that one, right, and then
another one. I started getting lazy and bored with my list,
(27:38):
and then we'll just finish the list off with champagne. Champagne,
all right? All right?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Ah ha'd be Gilmore too.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
How about Oh my God, Sandler's best movie, Going Overboard
nineteen eighty nine on TV it was called Babes Ahoy.
I don't I is that a real thing? I don't
even know. I don't know if I know that movie?
Was that one of his first movies. They're spawning. Yeah,
(28:09):
was it all right? What else is going on? H oh?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
When he says that that means he's running out of material.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm not running out of material by sort of. Scientists
have made a amazing discovery. Oh my god, you're not
gonna believe this. They're in the water in Argentina, right,
they're swimming around. Maybe we could find something new today.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Hey, Harry, you.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Haven't found anything new in a while. Your job's on
the lot. All right, I'll find something new swimming around. Ah,
I've seen all this shit before. And then the guy
comes upon something goes, what the fuck is this? Oh my,
it's a starfish and it looks well fed. This is
what I don't understand about starfishes.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I've seen him. I've seen him in aquariums.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I saw him on the north shore of Long Island
when my grandma had a house over there. You saw
the starfish. How is a starfish well fed? You ever
see a starfish move? If you're getting eaten by a starfish,
you deserve it. You're an idiot, an absolute idiot. Maybe
(29:22):
Adam Sandler and his lazy morose walking through Happy Gilmour
too sad? Maybe he could get eaten by a goddamn starfish.
Oh my god. But anyway, Argentina got a guy. It's like, oh,
that's a well fed starfish.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And even though the anus isn't located in that area
of the starfish, it looks like a big butt. It
looks like a big plump butt. If you think I'm
making this up, go online. This stupid thing's going viral.
So they're like, Harry, what do you got?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Well, look what I found. It's an overfeh storefish.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
It might even be a new species of storefish. Well
what do you want to call it?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Harry?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I was thinking we name it the big butt storefish. Wait,
maybe I should have got a picture of this thing.
Let me say if I can find a picture of
the big butt starfish. Look, this is not professional, so
oh so you can wait a minute, big but remember
(30:29):
to teas and but big butt star it's a big
butt starfish.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Oh yeah, oh my god. It looks like uh uh
it looks like Patrick.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Oh my god, it looks like Patrick from from uh
the SpongeBob.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
So this is uh, this is kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Actually, uh, this is kind of funny. This is the
big butt starfish they discovered in Argentina. Yeah, uh, and
it might be a new species. There's your big butt starfish.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah, that looks like a butt. But then you got like, you.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Know, oh god, how about how about you let my
phone not fade away?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Why is it fade away? So quick? Can I fix that?
In settings?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
There's your big butt starfish. Looks like Patrick from SpongeBob.
That's pretty funny. But then you know, then the real
people out there, they're like, you know what, that's not
where the anus is. So even though it looks like
a butt, there's no anus in that area of the starfish.
So why are you calling it the big butt starfish?
That's not really his butt? Oh? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Let us have a laft a good law.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
All right, all right, I was I've been scrolling because
I got one more thing to do today. I was scrolling. Oh,
I was editing some audio. Over the weekend I got
I got a bunch of podcasts. Now, this is the
main one, Opie Radio for all the current stuff, but
I got a shit ton of archives of really funny
(32:02):
audio and I'm slowly going through that stuff. And I
started another podcast called Opie Funny af and I was
putting an episode together over the weekend and got it.
Miss Vick Kenley. God.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
He was a dear friend of mine, really funny guy.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
We were friends and he was also part of me,
a big part of me reinventing myself. And then the
reinventing was going very very well, because people go, oh,
why did you turn into a wreck close? Well, I
kind of couldn't handle that. I was reinventing myself with
two guys I loved hanging out with when I wasn't
(32:39):
doing podcasting and radio, and they both died within six months.
So I just went, I'm gonna go to the beach
for a while and fish.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
That's where it started. Brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
But I missed the McK kenley. He now just makes
me laugh, And I'm so happy I got all this
old audio that I could go through and and kind.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Of reminisce and laugh along and have fun.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
And uh so the new podcast hope be funny af
I was editing something and I'm going to make a
video of this. Unfortunately it's just audio, so I got
to figure out the visual part of it. But Vic
Kenley's new music knowledge is this guy? Okay, you got
to go, dude, You're just stop with the nonsense.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
We just join us.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
It's way better to just join our little party every
morning instead of trying so hard with the dumb hate.
So Vic Kenley's rock and roll music knowledge was I
mean literally second to none. I I every once in
a while would stump him. And that's after doing, uh,
you know, music radio and knowing music for more years
(33:49):
than I can remember, so I know my shit. But
it was really hard to stump Vic. And it only happened.
I think I could count it on one fucking hand,
maybe five times. But I was going through this old
show finding clips for the podcast OPI Funny AF and
(34:11):
they kindly came up with this music knowledge about Leonard
skinnerd and I think it's in Sweet Home, Alabama, and
you could hear it as clear as day. Maybe you
have to listen to this part of the song like
maybe twice to really get it, but it's it's there
and the story goes. I never heard this story before.
(34:34):
Who was the lead singer about Leonard Skinner? I always
get him mixed up. Ronnie, Johnny and Donnie Donnie played
for thirty eight Special. Johnny replaced Ronnie when he died
in the plane crash. I think you got it right.
So Ronnie, I'm gonna go with Ronnie. So they're recording
sweet Home Alabama, and I guess, I guess. I guess
Ronnie especially really liked his He liked his donuts. And
(34:57):
if you listen very closely to Sweet Home Alabama, he basically,
in the middle of singing tells somebody to leave his
fucking dotuts alone.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Then they left it in the saw.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I'm gonna isolate that and make it into uh and
make it into its own, its own little video. Man,
I'm gonna break protocol today. I was hoping Richie rich
was here. You know what, I'm not gonna call it
who to Man? Because if if Richie's not in the room, uh,
we can't. We can't call it who de Man? Every
day we like to figure out who.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
The man is?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Who the man?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Who the man?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Who the man?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Who the man?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Who de man? Who the man? And uh, well, I
can't say who the man is? No, Shep Bardini, you
can't say who to man.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
It's it's Richie's bit.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
But I'm just going to acknowledge. I'm gonna just acknowledge
this person today I can't officially call them who to man,
it would it would go against the rules. Uh, we
gotta we got to acknowledge Jen Powell today. Who the
f is Jen Powell? Jen Powell?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Anyone?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Anyone?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Anyone?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
And are you raising your hand? Jen Powell became the
first woman to umpire a Major League baseball game, first,
first in history. She's going to be in Cooper's town.
She's been doing minor league games for a while. But
they're like, you know what, I don't know? Okay, so
(36:34):
Jen Powell her first pitch was a blown call. Well, yeah,
it happens. She wasn't the first female astronaut. Uh. You know,
there's why I don't respect the Catholic the Catholic Church
because they still don't have women as a priest. There'd
(36:57):
be a lot less you know what if they let
the women be the priest.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
What's do you know?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
What up? Oh? You know what? You know you have
a daughter and you go, oh wow, society really does
look at them as second class citizens.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
It pisses you off. Wait, Hope, you you were a
shock chalk. You know what you did with women back
in the day. Yeah, I know, you know, life is fluid.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Right. Life is like this, right, you could change, believe
or not, you could change. Yeah, I'm kind of a
feminist now that I have a daughter. I don't want
her to have some shitty fucking secretary job where they
pinch her heine. I want her to be the boss.
Oh my god, that's crazy. I know that's crazy to
think in twenty twenty five. Of course, of course you're right,
(37:47):
but uh, cheers to Jen Powell, first female umpire in
the in the major leagues. A couple things on that, though.
It wouldn't be me without a couple of things on that.
They you know, some of these things when you're the
first at it. Society in general they're not ready for
(38:08):
some of these changes.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
And then you realize, oh there's.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
A little there's a little space here we could squeeze in.
Think first black president Obama had to be the right
the right type of black. You know where I'm going
with this, don't you? You know they couldn't, like they couldn't.
(38:34):
I'm gonna go old school. I'm gonna go I'm gonna
go old school for like my my nineteen seventies New
York Yankees fans. First black president couldn't be let's just
say Mickey Rivers. Look up the Mickey Rivers. If you're
a youngster, you know, it's like, you know, I think
America could finally accept the first black president, But well,
(38:57):
who do we got? And then you know, the people
that actually pick this stuff, we don't. We don't pick
this stuff as voters. They go, well, they hand over
the pictures, right, and oh, this one okay, and they
saw the picture Obama and they're like, you know what,
(39:17):
he's just black enough to get this done. You know,
we do this. So with that, Jen Powell, congratulations, you're
the first female umpire in the major leagues. But they
went with, let's just say a safe pick. They went
(39:43):
with a safe pick. You know, it would have been
very impressive if the first black president looked like Mickey
Rivers or Flavor Flame. Flavor flav was to go to
damn it, that's why you're not on the radio anymore.
You stink. Oh, Flavor Flame would have made this so
much better. They're like, we can't have flavor, we can't
(40:03):
have someone some of the darkest flavor flav is the
first black president, it's gonna be a little lighter.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Is this light? And no it's not light enough.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Well, that's too light that you can't have the first
black president having a lot of freckles. What yeah, no, Now,
