There are people there that if you're you have like
a sixteen year old daughter, see that's who you could
also be looking at this for like you have like
a sixteen year old daughter or something. She'll know some
of these people. You probably won't, but you're gonna know

Speaker 2 (01:43):
You will look like the coolest parent when you take
a kid to the show correct and you.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Get to see shine Down, shine Down rule the open show,
and you get to have a nice night in the city.
There you go, a nice night out on the town.
What a lovely Tuesday night that's probably gonna snow from
what I was reading, So a lovely snowy Tuesday night
and in the old town tonight, Detroit, Michigan. Drink it in.

(02:08):
So I was this is a random one, but this
is for Rocked and Loaded. This morning we were at
Doug's going away I said, going away party. He's retiring.
Exactly how it designed it. It's good to see my
work being recognized. Finally I got a piece on the billboard.

(02:30):
But they had a bunch of pictures of Doug up
on the board here at the station the other day
because we had a retirement party for Doug. And one
of the pictures that popped up was Doug and Mick Jagger,
And I was like, when did you hang out with
Mick Jagger? And he's like will He started telling a
story about how like he met him at some radio
function and Mick was nice and they all got to

(02:52):
hang out. He would talk and was personable. And then
we started talking about different Rolling Stones tours and I've
never seen the Stones. I had a chance to go,
like two years ago in a town right outside of Springfield, Missouri.
They had just built a brand new Amphitheater with bass
Pro money because bass Pro is out of Springfield, Missouri,
so they just built this new amphitheaters pro Amphitheater basically OK.

(03:16):
And that tour they were on, the Hackney Diamonds tour
was really just playing stadiums, but it was going to
play this one smaller venue and I had tickets, like
good tickets to go, and I couldn't go because I
had to go to a damn wedding. So I couldn't
go because Jilly was in the wedding. If Jilly wasn't
in the wedding, I would have said, screw this, it's
the Stones. We've never seen the Stones. We've got to

(03:36):
see the Stones. But we started talking about different Stones
tours that people had gone to, and Casey was like, yeah,
I went to see the Stones in like nineteen eighty nine,
and I was like, yeah, that was the Steel Wheels tour.
And that was when they released Steel Wheels, which was
actually a pretty good album, but it had one song
on their particular that was really really good, like the

(03:58):
most recognized song from that album, and that song is
called Mixed Emotions. And that is how we get rocked
and the loaded this morning on the Josh in the Show,
but the Jos Show, Spoys. All right, let's see here,

(04:20):
So the Lions take on the Cowboys. That game is
coming up Thursday. That is tomorrow, by the way, So
that game is already around the corner, and the season's
really on the line. I mean, every game the season
is seemingly on the line, but this one's a big one.
Because when you lose this fall to seven and say,
I mean the season basically over. If you lose like,

(04:41):
it's not technically over, it's basically over. I mean it's
already basically over. Like you need a miracle to get
into the playoffs at this point, because they are just
too many good teams and you're not one of them
right now. Sorry, you're not. Because there are three teams
in the NFC West currently that are nine and three.
Inside this division, you've got an eight to four and
one team, and you've got to nine and three team.

(05:02):
Then you've got the Eagles, who are eight and four
and I don't think they're particularly good, but they're going
to win their division. But think about this, if the
Cowboys beat you, the Cowboys are only a game back
of the Eagles, and they've beaten the Eagles, so in
their division. So they're about seven teams right now, six
teams that are all kind of vine for a couple

(05:23):
of playoff spots in the NFC right now. And I
would include you in that mix, but you have to
win tomorrow. If they lose tomorrow, just wave the white flag.
It's over, and then my bet is dead. And then
I will cry. That's why I'm really really pulling hard
for them tomorrow. And I've also got another bet going
that includes multiple teams to have a certain number of wins.

(05:44):
Oh man, you have a problem. Well no, yeah, gambler
my friends, obviously I do. But the the bet, he's
got to take the bet, well, the other are The
other one I have is the let's see, it's like
five or six different team team to have a certain
number of wins, and I need the Lions to get

(06:04):
to nine wins. They currently have seven. So I need
the Lions. That's all I need. If I can get that,
then they're they're in there. And I've already had a
couple that have hits. So look, I know you got
your own problems, but come on, guys, do it for Josh.
So there you go, do it for his parlay eight.
But as it stands now, I really need the Lions
to do some winning. They're going to be without Terry

(06:26):
and Arnold, who is on the IR he's eligible to
come back against the Bears. Week eighteen, Taylor Decker and
Piney Sewel didn't practice, but it's kind of a veteran
off day, but they are battling shoulder issues Almenrod didn't
practice and his status is up in the air. He
wants to play, but they have to see Red Wing's
gonna win last night five to four over the Bruins.

(06:47):
The Sparties. Number seven Michigan States seventy one to fifty
two over Iowa. Michigan State is eight no. They will
host Duke on Saturday at Breslin Center. So you've got
number four due number seven Michigan State at Breslin Center Saturday.
A little early season college basketball deliciousness, So we got

(07:08):
that for you. The Michigan Wolverines basketball team has climbed
to number three in the AP pole and they're playing
damn good basketball as well. And the Pistons hit the
hardwood tonight against the Bucks in milliewake, A, which is
I'm bonk win for the good Land, and that game
is at eight o'clock tonight. The Bucks are not good
and they may trade honest, So go out there and

(07:28):
gonna win, Pistons. That is sports. I am Josh, he
is James. It's the Josh Innis Show. And we have
got more rock coming up on wheels. This is the
Josh Nish Show on one, two, six, point seven w
LLZ Detroit Is Reels the Josh Innis Show Sports. Oh alright,

(07:49):
let's see what's cooking. The Lions take on the Cowboys.
That game is coming up tomorrow at Ford Field, and
it is awfully important. It is imperative that the Lions
win that game, James, it is vital. They must win.
Gotta win. There is they must win situation for the
Lions as they take on Dallas. Dallas is now back

(08:10):
in the playoff race because they're playing well. And then
you've got, you know, the Lions who are playing the
opposite of well, they're playing. They're playing. They're playing Rob Thomas.
We call that they're pulling a Rob Thomas. They're just
a little unwell right now. Speaking of Taylor Decker Peney sewell,
they didn't practice. Now that's because they're veterans. They get

(08:33):
a day off, but they are battling shoulder issues. Terry
On Arnold is on IR so he won't be back
until at least the last game of the year, assuming
that there's a game after the last game of the year,
which at this rate there won't be. Aman Rod did
not practice and his status is still up in the air.
He's got the sprained ankle. The Michigan State football team

(08:55):
welcomed Pat Fitzgerald yesterday. He is officially the new head
coach of the Spartans. Let's see what old Pat had
to say when he was introduced yesterday.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
And every game is going to be a focus of
victory and winning. But there's one game that just means
a little bit more, doesn't it. Oh, boys, leave that
one alone.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
So let's leave that. You know, there's one game that
means a little bit more. So he's obviously talking about Michigan. Okay,
he's alluding to Michigan, Michigan State. He's correct, he is
alluding to Michigan, Michigan State. And it's like that's what
they don't get. And I'm a college football guy and
I went to LSU and all that, like outside of
like maybe Michigan Ohio State, you know, some rivalries like that,

(09:38):
Like these dudes are all hired guns now. Man, These
dudes are all coming to schools because they are getting
paid to go to that school and they're leaving after
a year and going to another school because that school's
got more money. Like, rivalries are pretty much dead in
college athletics. Because these aren't dudes that are staying at
schools for four years and like, oh my god, I
gotta beat Michigan. Like it's some dude from Paducah, Kentucky
who got more money to come to Michigan State for

(09:59):
a year. These guys don't give a damn about any
of that anymore, Like I don't. I don't believe that
any of that matters to the majority of these players.
The fans, it still matters because like if you live
in East Lansing and you're gonna live there and die there,
and that's your team. And if you live in when
they win, correct, that's what you're gonna get out of that. Okay,
that's exactly what you get. But like these players aren't

(10:20):
as it's a money game and the coaches it's all
about money, and the players it's all about money. It
is looking for a spot where they can kind of
shine a little bit and then go pro and make
more money. Essentially, it's all it is. Correct, All of
this is transactional. Every single bit of this is transactional.
So like I get it. You gotta get up there
and go, oh my god, we gotta beat Michigan. You've

(10:41):
been the coach for like five minutes and now you're like,
we gotta beat Michigan. Like it's such an inauthentic thing
you have to do to wore yourself out to be
a coach at a new place, you know what I mean. Like,
it's just I don't like when people, like if you're
a radio host and you were to come into a
city and be totally inauthentic about it, Like there's one
of these sports d weeps over on on the ticket,
who's the most inauthentic dufist I've ever heard in my life,

(11:03):
And like the dudes lived here for like a year,
but everything about Detroit's the greatest thing he's ever experienced.
And he's like, Captain Detroit, my dude, you've lived here
for a year. Like people, unless they're dummies, which some
of them are, they can see through your your being.
Just you're inauthentic. You're not real, you're just pandering. Like
that's the worst part about getting that kind of jobs.
You have to get up there and be like, we

(11:24):
gotta meet Michigan. I do like the idea of a
show called Captain Detroit. Maybe we should try it. Yeah,
it's just it's the Captain Detroit Show. All right, let's
say you are a little bit more from Pat Fitzgerald to.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
The Spartan fans, the alumni, your passion is unmatched.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm excited to earn your trust. That's the other thing
you have to do is you have to tell a
group of people that you just met five minutes ago
that there is nobody more passionate than you, even though
you just coached at a place for fifteen years and
they were the most passionate fans ever. And the only
reason you're not coaching there anymore is because some dudes
are trying to bone other dudes in the shower for
fun and you got fired over it. Like, I just

(12:02):
hate how inauthentic you have to be in this universe.
It's just the worst. Like, oh my god, you're the
best fans on the planet, and then the next school
you go to is gonna have the best fans on
the planet. Lane Kiffin said, the old mis fans are
the best fans on the planet. Now the LSU fans
are the best fans on the planet. It sounds like
college football coaching isn't much like politics. Oh it's all
it is. That's all that is now. Also red Wings

(12:25):
won last night five to four. The Pistons are in
Milwaukee tonight to take on the Bucks at eight. And
speaking of Michigan State, Sparty beat Iowa by nineteen last night,
seventy one to fifty two. That sets them up for
a matchup with number four Duke at the Bresln Center
on Saturday. And that is sports. I am Josh, he
is James. We got a lot to get into today,

(12:46):
laves there. I got a text from someone who's like,
why aren't you guys talking? I'm so sorry. I had
to get some songs in. We started late today, but
here we are now. We don't have the rule no
scareway tonight now. Granted. I also got a message from
that guy in the past said I told my friends
to like the show, but now I don't like it either.
So who knows? He can't quans go to whitshy washy.
He's like the college coaches. He's just like him anyway,

(13:09):
Welcome in, everybody. It's the offspring one O six point
seven Detroit's wheels, that is the offspring. Gotta get away, Josh,
Ennis Shoe, what's going on? It's Josh and James today
glad you guys are hanging out with us. So we
were talking about Pat Fitzgerald a second ago in the
sports there about about how he's the new head coach

(13:30):
of Michigan State. Michigan State has the most passionate fans
in the world and blah blah blah. So I was
looking up some of the details on this hazing stuff
that he got fired for. Yeah, he remembers he took
him to court and won, right, correct, he took them
to court, he won, and because of that, the guy won.
I don't know how much he won, how it was
an I don't know the amount has I don't think

(13:50):
it's public. But he sued them for one hundred and
thirty million dollars for wrongful termination and uh and he won.
So I mean I made it easier to hire the guy, Like, hey,
they wrongfully terminated me. I did not read this culture
of weird gay sexual locker room stuff. I not, I
said the cat, but some of the details on this

(14:11):
story because I've never really read the details. All I
knew was that there was hazing. And by the way,
there's been hazing stuff going on forever, right, and like
there are varying levels of hazing, right like, you like,
oh boy, we tied somebody into a tree, or we
made them do something wacky.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I had them dressed up like a hotdog and ask
people to ask them about their wiener.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
There you go, exactly that kind of hazing. But then
there's also stuff that's basically just gay sex that these
guys have. These guys perform and you're like, huh, this
is kind of a weird thing to do. So some
of the details on this This would happen at Northwestern
when Pat Fitzgerald was the coach there. There would be
a situation where a player would be restrained by a

(14:49):
group of eight to ten upper classmen dressed in various
purge like masks, who would then begin dry humping the
victim in a dark locker room. Oh like, I don't like,
how are we team building here when we're like, listen,
we're gonna do some weird per put on our perge masks,
turn off the lights and just start humping dudes in

(15:09):
the dark. You're gonna do me a favor, and then
we're gonna do you a favor by letting you be
on the team. Exactly. That's what it sounds like. It's like, listen,
like you you come in, We're gonna dry hump.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
You know.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
That's actually the lightest of them. There's some other stuff.
Go move, go move, I'm almost there. This is good stuff.
Can you bend you? Can you bend your your your
leg a little bit more? And can try to get
in between the backs of your knees. Let's see here
other hazing traditions, Freshmen were forced to strip naked and
perform various acts, including bear crawling and sling shotting themselves

(15:39):
across the floor with exercise bands. Wow, and nude bear
crawl is not something I want. And this still to
play on a crappy football team. By the way, this
is Northwestern, So these these dudes are going through all
of this torture and being treated like garbage so they
could play for one of the historically worst programs in
football history. In a once a year tradition dubbed the

(16:03):
car wash, the first player said that some players would
stand naked at the entrance to the showers and spin around,
forcing those entering the showers to quote basically rub up
against a bare naked man upon entering the showers. The
players alleged that other players set up a hose they
connected to the showers to spray. Peep. Just joshing around, man,

(16:24):
just dashing around in the shower. They're more like humping
around is actually what they're doing. Get up off my back,
save your heart attack. Ain't nobody humping around. Let's see
the players. Also alleged that he witnessed and was forced
to participate in what he called a naked center quarterback exchange,
wherein a freshman quarterback was forced to take an undercenter

(16:45):
snap from a freshman center while both players were naked.
Watch my balls back there. But well that's the point.
So that's the kind of stuff that was going on
at Northwestern. Now, I don't care, like I'm not some
guy that's oh my god. I'm just because part of
me thinks, look, if you're a grown ass man, like
you're in college right, Like, if you're big enough and

(17:07):
strong enough to play college football, then I feel like
there's a pretty good possibility you're big and strong enough
to say, hey, I'm not gonna go, you know, sodomize
some other guys so I can play for this three
win football team.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
You're a biginn a boyd to way you can stand
up for yourself and you know, not be forced into
peer pressure to you know, sit down a broomstick or
whatever they make you do.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
See, And that would be my point, right, But apparently
that's not the case. These guys are like, Hell, I'm
desperate to play for Northwestern football, so I'm gonna go
put my hands on this other guy's genitals in the
dark because the big bullies on the team forced me
to do it, like I don't know, man. And then
the other part of it is and I never understood
this growing up, right, And this really, this is why

(17:47):
I didn't play baseball in high school because like in basketball,
there was no hazing stuff that happened in basketball. You're
not gonna get around eleven black dudes and have them
be like, hey, we're touching each other's ball today, Like
that doesn't happen like they might have been, Like you
might have had guys that were jerks to each other
and messed around with each other and pranked each other.

(18:08):
When I played basketball in high school, and that time
I scored nineteen points and went three for three from downtown.
I'm not trying to brag, but it happened when I
did that. There was never an instance where like one
of the guys walked in and said, let's get in
the showers and played tummy sticks like that never happened.
But in baseball, like baseball dudes, I really think this

(18:29):
is a white dude thing. Real talk hashtag real talk.
It is a white dude thing because I played baseball
up until I was like sixteen years old, and my
first year in school I played basketball. Season ended, I
go out for baseball. I'm supposed to be on the
JV team whatever. The dudes that played baseball were the
biggest hillbilly douche nozzles on the planet, just really constantly

(18:51):
spitting tobacco, saying racist crap, like just like they just
weren't likable people. They were dufices. They were just dufices,
and they were the kind of peace people that were gross.
I just found them to be disgusting people. And they
were the kind that would like haze you, like if
you said, hey, if you had to guess in your
high school, Josh, who would be the ones out there like,
you know, diddle in someone's b hole in the name

(19:13):
of team, you know, chemistry, get me the baseball players,
Like I guarantee there was there. I played basketball for
four years, and I was always one of like two
white guys. There was two white guys, a Mexican guy
who's my best friend, and like eleven thousand black dudes.
And at no point did I ever encounter a black
dude who was like, bend over, baby, let's get this,

(19:34):
like there was nothing. Do you ever noticed that in
pulp fiction the gimp is the white guy. Marcellus Wallace
is the black guy. There's no black guy sodomizing another
black guy or white guy in the locker room. But
white dudes have this weird fascination with it. It's I
don't I don't know. It's just kind of like how
us white dudes like true crime. Like a little while ago,

(19:55):
you and I were sitting here talking and you go, oh,
I thought Son of Sam was you know. I'm like, no,
it's about of fact he was in New York between
nineteen seventy. Because white people know it, we know true crime,
and apparently we know hazing in the low. We know
gay things in the locker room. It's gay hazing. Gazing.

(20:15):
Gazing gazing is what we call it. That me gazing, Well,
I mean that's part of it. That's part of it
because then you sit there and like watch it. You're like, yeah,
get in there, nass and deep, like like it's it's weird.
I'll never get a big hazing scandal in my high school. Here,
hold on to that. Let's talk about that. I gotta
play a song because we have to interrupt this conversation
to make sure you hear this Motley Cruse song you've

(20:36):
heard forty seven thousand times. Hold on to that. We
will get to that coming out of a romantic story
of high school hazing. After the crew we all six
point seven Detroit's wheels Josh in a show. So tell me, James,
about the hazing that happened at your school.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, so I think maybe my junior year, junior or
senior year, there was a big scandal, like a bunch
of football players got suspended. Yeah, and uh it's because
of the hazing stuff that was going on in the
locker room. And I just remember like one of the
football players came into class one day and one of
the cheerleaders was like asking him questions like why he's

(21:16):
so upset, why is he so mad or whatever.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
He's like, because snitches get stitches.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
I'm pissed. And so this guy was mad because one
of the other like football players little brother when he
was his turn to get hazed to be on the team,
he took a stand and I think he might have
let the hazing happen, but then he reported it, so
all the people that were involved got suspended. So it
wasn't a snitches get stitches, although it was sort of

(21:43):
like like he was ready for revenge. Yeah, but this
was a situation where a guy kind of narked on
you in a way like he sang as they put it,
he's saying it to get a lighter sentence, yeah, And
so like he was like he wanted to like fight
this kid's little brother because he reported them. And I'm
just like in my mind because whatever it was, I
don't know if it was a broomstick or was a
parking cone, but it was one of those two things. Yeah,

(22:04):
And like I didn't know exactly what was going on,
but my friends that were in like the same grade
as the brother, they knew the whole story because they
were friends with him.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
So they were like, yeah, this is what happened.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
They took a broomstick and they put it where it's
not supposed to go and for whatever reason, they're doing
all this crazy stuff in.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
The locker room because they're dumb. Like I'll never understand it. Look,
and I'm not I'm not some sort of prude or
anything like that. I'll just never understand why that's considered
something that's like team building is, here's what we're gonna
It's not. It's as salt is what it is. I mean,
it's as Billy Madison said, that's assault, brother, and that's
what that is. Like, there's no team building that's like, hey,
now I really want to play for this team after

(22:40):
you've sodomized me with a broomstick.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, But the fact that like the one football player
was like mad that they got snitched on for shoving
a broomstick or parking cone into another human being. Yeah,
he's like mad that they got in trouble instead of
the fact that we're thinking about, like why are we
even doing this?

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, like you were just rough housing, man, just joshing around.
Good times. Man, we're having a good time. Mind. Like,
I think the type of hazing, like if you want to,
if you have to haze, it's like the stuff that
you you make them do embarrassing things like much like
in is it accepted? Yeah, where ask me about my something?

Speaker 2 (23:13):
The hot dog costume you have to talk to go
up to girls and say, ask me about my wiener,
you know, silly stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's not like you're not violating someone forcible sodomy in
the shower, yeah, you know, not naked centered quarterback exchanges,
like just just that weird. It's just so weird to me,
it is.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
I look like I don't about it all the time,
but it's like when you sit down and think about it,
like it just doesn't make sense. It does not like
and trust me, I was like, I'm the tongue end
of a but looking joke on the other show for years.
So like I'm familiar with all this stuff, and I've said,
you know, make jokes about stuff like that happening.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
To me, and I mean it's never really happened. I mean, yeah,
it's just it's just very bizarre behavior.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
It is.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
I agree. Yeah, all right, Josh in a show, we
got more rock coming up. It's Josh and Show on one.
Who's six point seven DOUBLELLZ Detroit Wheels, Well, no, six
point seven Detroit's Wheels. Josh in his show That is
Aerosmith dream On Josh and James. Hello, today is Anna
Klumsky's birthday. Do you know who Anna Klumsky?

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Is?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
She one of the girls from the Willie Walker story. No,
she is actually Veda from My Girl. Oh she is
forty five, forty five she is. She's responsible for what
is considered maybe the saddest scene ever in a movie.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
His face hurts and where is his glasses? He gets
see without his glasses? What his glasses are?

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I have a hot take. Yeah, that scene didn't make
me sad at all. No, No, because you know what
the kid knew not to screw with the bees. You say, like,
don't screw with the bees, like you keep squirting a
bee's nest with like a little water gun or whatever.
The bees are gonna get pissed. They're gonna sting in it.
Just so turns out you're allergic to bees. I'm gonna
guess he knew he was allergic to bees, like his
mom had to have known that her wealth. They're trying

(24:58):
to get her mood ring. No, it doesn't. Well, here's yes,
but he is screwed with the bees before he knows
that you can't go screw with the bees. So you
know what, like, don't go near the bees. That's my
that's my request for Thomas J. Don't go near the bee.
Just same advice for bears. Well, yes, I have great
look and have I ever been stung by a bee? No?

(25:21):
Have I ever been eaten by a bear?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Track records pretty good. Yeah, So do as I do,
and as I say, don't mess with bees and don't
mess with bears. But that is its funny for all
your advices though, way, just well, don't mess with that.
That's great advice. I give amazing advice. So but again
this is the scene.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
And where is his glasses? He can't see without his classes.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
With his glasses are like they're legit sad scenes in
movies that, like I will sob over most of them
are dog related or Disney. That's why I refuse to
watch Disney, Like you know, it's a real dick, Walt Disney,
this guy. Like they're like, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna make a bunch of cartoon movies. And in
the cartoon movies, some poor animal is going to see
his mom die like in every damn movie, Like they're

(26:07):
so sad like Bambi. I refuse to watch that. I
don't want to see the guy's mom get plugged by
some probably former football player. I be hand to guests
plug this. It's like sitting up in his deer stand,
like doing gay things with somebody hold on pow deer Like,
I can't do it. It makes a few better. They
don't actually show the deer like dying, but I know

(26:30):
the mom. It's not the sight of the deer dying,
it's the fact that the deer is sad about his
mom dying. Spoiler alert, Like, I don't want to like,
I hate that kind of stuff. Or Marley and Me.
It took me years to be able to watch that movie.
I'm watching this and I'm watching the end of it
and the dog and it's like you were a good dog,
and I'm like, I'll stop it.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Hell.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
I've cried multiple times at the movie theater, and each
time I've cried during the movie, it was an animal movie,
so I was let's see. I went to see A
Dog's Purpose, which I knew I was gonna cry, and
the first couple of times it should just be you
were going to cry. Correct, It's called dog's purpose parentheses
get ready to sob right. So I'm at the movie

(27:10):
theater and I'm watching this and the first time the
dog dies, and it's either a dog's journey or a
dog's purpose thing. It's a dog's purpose. The first time
the dog dies, I'm like, oh my god, the dog dies.
Then the second time the dog dies, I'm like, oh,
by the Like the eighth time the dog dies and
comes back, I'm like, all right, I'm sick of watching
the dog die. You have you have hardened my heart
to the point that I don't even care. It's about

(27:31):
the dog died a dog so many times it doesn't
affect you. It's I have I am immune to the
death of this damn dog. Now.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
It's like, isn't it how they train you to get
over like a certain allergy? They just keep sticking you
with the little.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
The other one? And I saw this recently, and nobody
would have seen this movie. But it was some movie
about like a school teacher that like adopts a penguin,
The Penguin Stories of the Penguin Lessons. It came out
last year. Okay, it was called The Penguin Lessons. It's
not Mister Popper's Penguins. Although I've been told that you
might cry if you watch Paddington I've been told that

(28:08):
Paddington Too is like the best movie ever, but you
get emotional. I don't want to emote. I don't want
to emote in front of people. If I want to cry, Like,
how about this now, I will say that I have
watched the end of Beaches with Ben Mitler and Barbara Hershey,
and a little wind beneath my wings starts playing, and
I will get a little emotional during that. But for
the most part, the only times I truly get emotional

(28:30):
during movies are in animal scenes and movies. And at
the end of Love actually, when all of the people
start going to the airport and God Only Knows is playing,
which I think is the most beautiful song that's ever
been written. Is God Only Knows by the Beach Boys
is the most beautiful song written composed ever. There's not
a more gorgeous song ever. So you take that song
and then all the people are like hugging each other

(28:52):
at the airport, and God only that will make me
cry too. But there are very few things in movies
that involve humans that will make me, but you give
me animals, you give me the Marley and Me. You
give me this Penguin movie where the guy gets the
penguin lessons. Spoiler alert, the penguin dies. Oh my god,
spoiler alert. What are you doing. You're ruining the movie
for everybody. You knew it was coming, you knew the

(29:14):
I'm sitting there the whole time like this damn Penguin's
gonna die, so the boom the penguin dies, but appreciating
life for something that basically as like the penguin taught him,
like you know, how to be a better person or
something like that. Point is I'm sitting there and I'm
just blubbering at the movie theater hoping nobody sees me
because the damn penguin dies. There a damn funeral for
the penguin. Spoiler alert, sorry, penguin funeral. And that's something

(29:36):
you exct Oh god, And I'm just I'm I was
wrecked by it. Wrecked, I say, and uh And that
was that. But like very few now, if you want
to get in on the text, I'd love to hear
people on this text. The word Josh and your message
to five one eight eight one so it's Anna Klumsky's
birthday she's known.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
For And where is his glasses? You can't see without
his glasses, and put his glasses on.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Many people feel that that is like the saddest like
scene in a movie ever. Also, I don't get sad
because I hate her. Like the thing is, I hate
everything about my girl. I just I don't like it.
I don't like her. I don't like you know newly
fat dan Ackroid. I don't like hippie Jamie Lee Curtis.
Like everything about that movie I hate. I didn't realize

(30:20):
you're so passionate. I look, I'm I'm not passionate about
a lot of things. I'm pretty apathetic, but I am
passionate about my hatred of my girl, very passionate about
that movie. I hate Thomas j I'm glad that he
got his He got what was coming to him. Don't
f with the bees. What's my life lesson? Don't mess
with bees. You don't want to die by a bear attack.
Don't mess with the bears. Don't mess with the bees.

(30:42):
I don't like fat dan Ackroid. I don't like hippie
Jamie Lee Curtis. I like nothing about that movie. So
that doesn't make me sad. Now, a lot of people
get sad over that. I don't get sad. Oh wait,
another scene that makes you cry when the damn dog
comes back and homework about and he's like he was
too old. But I'm like, no, come on, man, shadows
out there, don't give up. And then Shadow Peter Pete.

(31:05):
I'm oh, he's back. That soun of a bitch is Pete.
He limps back. Actually, I cried in the theater at
that as a as a child, I cried in the theater.
I cried over it yesterday as an adult in the house.
Now I need to hear from you guys, though, Text
the word Josh in your message to five one eight
eight one five one eight eight one Josh in your message.
Here's what I need to know. What scenes in movies

(31:28):
have made on like d one, Like if you just
need to sit at home and you know you need
to cry, it's like, well, time to put this on,
time to put on. Shadow comes back at the end
of Homeward Bound, and poor Peter he's like he's too old,
he's too I'm like, no, he's gonna be there, Peter,
you son of a bitch. Don't give up on your dog.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Man.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
And then when my dog died a couple of years ago,
all I did, like forever, when my dog was alive,
I avoided all these things. Then my dog died, and
I'm like, well, time to watch Homeward Bound. It's like cathartic.
Time to watch Marley and Me. It's cathartic. Anyway, Dumbo,
like Dumbo's like all these Disney movies were just sad,
you know, like the Disney movies had something to do
with like Walt Disney's mom not being around or something

(32:07):
as a child. So and he was a Nazi, for
what it's worth, allegedly allegedly you think his head's frozen
in a freezer somewhere. I do know a guy while
he's dead now, but a guy who froze his dad's head. Really,
I can tell you about that too. But anyway, first
the smooth a transition as I can give you frozen heads.

(32:28):
We got sad movie moments frozen heads. Anna Klumsky and
Crazy Bitch. It's Buck Cherry on Detroit's wheels. Why so
Anna Klumsky's birthday today, She's forty five. She's veda in
My Girl and that scene in My Girl's considered one
of the saddest movie scenes ever. So now people are
calling and texting about sad scenes and movies. Let's go

(32:51):
to the phones. Hello, Wheels, Hey.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
I wanted to call in about the movie scenes to
kind of get you every time.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I got one for you. What's that?

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Yeah, at the end of the Shawshank Redemption.

Speaker 6 (33:02):
Where Red and Andy meet right at the end and
embraces it, zooms out and goes out to the credits.
That always gets me every time.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
When you watch the whole movie and everything they've been through,
that's a brand.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
That's a one you don't hear very often.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
Yeah, that one's always got from the first time I've
ever seen it. Every time is like I can watch
that whole movie all the way through, excellent movie, but
when it gets to that part at the end, it's like,
oh wow, I just want to throw that out there
for you guys.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I appreciate it. See for me, when I watch that,
all I wonder is like, what are they going to
do tomorrow? Yeah? You like, that's my thought, Like I
think too deep into the movie, I'm like, so now
here they are, So what is tomorrow gonna be?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Like these guys live together on that boat, like what happens?
Like that's my other problem is on the beach together
now like a like a married couple.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Like I look too literally into these movies, you know,
I'm just kind of like, you know, like so what now,
what's next? You know? Like I feel like at the
end of Homeward Bound, it's like, all right, Peter and
Shadow or back together. Shadow is eventually gonna die because
he's a dog and Peter's gonna be crushed. But like
that's live. Like in Shawshank, You're like, all right, what
do you guys do tomorrow? So you guys, like what
do you do on this beach together every day? Yeah?

(34:06):
You hustled the prison out of all that money. And
now now what I mean eventually you're probably gonna get
popped again. Yeah, yeah, they'll find them. And like, do
do we think that Red is capable of being outside
of prison? You know who didn't make it, Brooks? Brooks
didn't make it. So do you think that like that Red,
like after a couple of days, is going to be
like look, I mean we have no we have money,
but we don't have any food. We're on this random beach.

(34:26):
You're building this small dumb boat, like what do we
do together? Now? What's next? But you never think about
those things, you know, Like when I watch the End
of Greece, I'm like, are they flying? And if they
can fly? Like, why would they ever go back to Earth?
Like what is happening here at the end of Greece?
Like all of a sudden, they're driving around, everybody's having
a good time, and then why are they flying? U

(34:47):
let's see here some of these. Here's an old one,
but the Champ with Ricky Schroeder, when the Champ dies,
that is sad. I would agree with that. I cried
when Bambi's mom died. This one says, who didn't? That's
why I said, Walt Disney is a dick, Like this
guy just made movies to make you just sob and
cry over people's parents died and made every kid think
their parents were going to die at something. We're just
old yeller man, I know. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
The Titanic at the end when she pushes Jack into
the water. Look, that's not the sad part is that
she didn't die. Real talk, real talk, if you really
think about it. She was this rich chick that was
screwing around on her husband with the help basically, and
then like at the end of it, you know what
ends up happening, She lets Jack die in the water. Well,

(35:31):
he drew that picture and she didn't like how it
came out there. There is a very good case to
be made that the villain of that movie is Rose.
I don't even think it's debatable, like cal I mean,
he just is what he is. He's a rich dude.
He's you know, I have a child, and he gets
on the boat and he survives. Like, sure, he's a
dick whatever, but he's a rich dick of the nineteen teens. Whatever.
Figure of the iceberg would have been the villain. No,

(35:52):
the Iceberg's not the villain. The iceberg was just minding
its own business. What of the iceberg. That's like saying
the It's like saying the light pole is the villain
when a drunk driver hits it. No, the drunk driver
is the villain. The light pole just sat there the
icebergs and the icebergs them get lost. Don't don't come
at me with the iceberg as the villain. The true
villain of Titanic is Rose, because think about the people

(36:14):
who did all the worst things, Like you can rationalize
the bad things that Jack did. He's just a poor
He's a vagrant. He's some poor guy, right, Like she's rich.
She comes from wealth. She's got a rich husband who,
while he might be a dick, is rich and will
take care of her. Presumably she's got all the stuff
going for But what does she do. She poon tangs
around with the riff raff, all right, So she's poon

(36:35):
tanging around with the riff raft Then when things get
a little dicey, ship sinks and she has a chance
to really confess her love to this guy, or profess
her love to this guy, and say, get on the
door with me, Jack, we're gonna make it together. Get
off the door. She just lets him freeze. She just
lets him freeze. She was selfish, is what she was.

(36:55):
She's the villain of the movie. That's one of my
favorite things is to look for the actual villain of
the movie, who is Usually you know, like the person
who's portrayed as the villain is not the villain. The
person who is portrayed as the hero is not the hero.
Rose is not a hero in this movie, and she
should have froze to death because she's the bad guy.
But thank you for that text. Appreciate. I'll be sending

(37:15):
that note to James Cameron. I will, Hey, Jim, I
got a few thoughts on your little movie. This. It's
the Josh Innis Show on one of six point seven
w LZ true. It's wheels good Josh in his show sports. Alrighty,
here's the headline for you. US Marshall's join hunt for

(37:37):
fugitive Virginia football ball coach whoa They warn he may
be armed? Boy, wow, wow, wow, depute. Sam Gerard is
on there on the case. Now, baby, I didn't jill
my wife. I don't care to get timing Lee Jones
on the case, ah Mad, How great would that be?
Like they finally fined him, He's like, I didn't diddle
those kids.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
So they still haven't found him. They warned he might
be armed. He is dead. The guy killed himself. If
I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong. That guy is dead.
He's not like, where would he be? He's dead now?
And I guess the argument would be, and we've talked
about that. I guess the argument would be, well, Josh,
if he were dead, wouldn't have been easier to find

(38:21):
him in theory than yes, I guess so, so maybe
he is on the run. But I still stand by
the belief that this man is dead. But I guess
we'll see. But so he is the he's got the
US Marshals. The US Marshall Service on Monday asked anyone
with information about Travis Turner forty six to go off
Virginia State Police. We should call him, be like, hey,

(38:42):
I think he's dead because he went into the woods
with a gun. He's dead. Mind his little shack and
he will find him. Find the diddle shack. Do not kids,
It's no good diddling kids, got it right? Oh, I
wouldn't do it with anybody younger than my daughter. No
little kids gotta be big holding them away from my

(39:05):
daughter or something like that. So let's see. Virginia State
Police still searching for Turner with the assistance of the
FBI and the US Marshalls. So he's been missing since
November twentieth. Since his disappearance, Union has won two playoff games,
most recently a twenty one to fourteen triumph over a
Ridgeview on Saturday to capture the region to do te

(39:28):
do two D championship. Wow, good for them, Yeah, I
think they did it for the coach. Well, here's the
thing that they just won. Whatever the Region two D
championship is. Now, they're set to play glen Var High
School on Saturday in the Class two state semifinals. There's
a lot of playoff games in high school out glen Var.

(39:49):
Like it kind of shows you the coach means very little.
The diddlers are coming for you. Yep. So maybe the diddled,
the did old, the diddled and the and the defenders
of the diddle theyre coming after this co coach. Police
and school officials have declined to say whether any victims
or complaining witness or complaining witnesses against Turner are connected
to Union High, a public school with about six hundred

(40:11):
students in the far southwest corner of Virginia. I don't know.
I don't know if this is a guy who craps
where he eats or not. I'm not sure, but I
guess we'll have to see.

Speaker 7 (40:19):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
But if you were wondering, it's one hundred and seventy
miles west of Virginia. Teching like to me, that's too
far away for it to be in the story, Like, well,
they're only one hundred and seventy miles west of it,
like I mean of Blacksburg, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and one
hundred and twenty miles northeast of the University of Tennessee.
Like cool, stay in the middle of nowhere. Yeah that
no one cares. It's nowhere, Virginia, Nowhereville, Virginia. Thank you.

(40:44):
So that's an update on coach diddle Coach Diddleson, coach Diddleton,
coach Diddleston, who's still on the run, but I believe
he's dead, still on the room with no information other
than the fact that I just believe he's dead. Oh
you left with that gun. I'm and Ross we I
don't know his staff. For the game on Thursday, it's
up in the air as the Cowboys and Lions will
hook up at Ford Field with really the season on

(41:06):
the line for both teams. So Am and Ram please
play also for my parlay, play because I still need
you to get like one hundred and fifty more receiving
yards and I need the team to make the playoffs
so I can win my parlay. And there's a better
chance of winning if you're there, buddy. Thanks good Look
the basketball Spartans beat I was seventy one to fifty
two last night they improved to eight. And oh they

(41:27):
are number seven in the country. They will take on
number four Duke at the Breslin Center on Saturday. The
Pistons take on the Bucks tonight. That's at eight o'clock.
The Bucks are trying to trade Giannis apparently, so things
have really fallen part there. Wow. The Red Wings were
a five to four victor over the Bruins in their
little matchup last night. In the hockey world, and that
is sports. I am Josh, he is James, and this

(41:50):
is Temple of the Dog. It's called hunger, Striketh growing hungry.
We are Detroit's wheels. WATA six point seven, Detroit's wheels.
Josh in a shoe, Josh and James today. Glad you
guys are with us. Can I tell you, Oh sorry,
can I tell you the worst person in the world

(42:12):
other than you know, coach Diddleston, He's pretty bad. But
can I tell you the other worst person in the world.
I feel like you had a worst person in the
world earlier this week. Well, no, this is the true.
This is like a collective, like this is a group
of people who are the worst people in the world.
These are people who don't shovel their sidewalks when it snows,
when the rest of the neighborhood is all shoveled, Right,

(42:33):
someone gets out there. First of all, it didn't snow
that much this last time around, Like you live in Southfield,
probably got a couple inches right off that, like four okay,
four inches right. It doesn't take much to go out
there in your sidewalk, get a snow pushage scoop. It's
over now. You throw a little salt down, maybe a
little pet friendly salt, whatever, and you throw this down,
and then everything's fine. We all go about our day.
We can all walk our dogs, We can walk around

(42:54):
the neighborhood without having a tiptoe around because there's still
ice on the sidewalk because you're a lazyst that won't
shovel the sidewalk. This is the old oldest old man rant.
I think I've heard no, no, no.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
No, no no.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
This is not an old man rant. This is a
human rant. Don't old man rant, mate, not an old
man rat, because you're ranty. Is somebody who doesn't always
shovel their drives because you're a lazy bastard. Sure that's no,
that's a fact. There are certain things that you must
do to be a good member of society and a
healthy society. Like I'm not I'm a big believer that
we have to help everybody out, like figure your own

(43:26):
ish out, but we all have to use the sidewalks.
And if we all have to use the sidewalks, friend,
then do your part and shovel your freaking sidewalk and
put some salt down. Well, when I do decide to
shovel that, I usually do both my neighbors as well.
I got these judgmental lesbians that live next door to me,
and they have not shoveled their sidewalk, So you see
me my sh like like I feel a pressure, Like

(43:48):
when I see other people in the neighborhood shovel I'm like, well,
I don't want to be the one sidewalk that isn't shoveled.
So I go out there, scoop, scoop, shut the shovel it.
The snove's gone by the bang. How can you see
other people sidewalk shoveled and just sit on your ass
and be like, no, see.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I look out the window. I'm like, oh, hey, look
there's Bob shoveling his driveway. All right, I'm gonna go back.
I'm gonna go down to the basement of spoke a dube.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Okay, you don't need to shovel your driveway because that's
your life. Your driveway doesn't impact me. Your sidewalk, it's
not the same. It is not the same. A sidewalk
is different than a driveway. A driveway is yours. I'm
not gonna be in your driveway, right, But what's gonna
happen is I'm gonna be on your sidewalk if I'm
walking my dog and you are a massive dick, if
you are one of these people that go, I'm not

(44:31):
gonna shovel the sideway, Like, how does that? Like? I
don't understand what goes through your mind when you don't
do that. Like I'm just to me. I'm sitting there
at home, and I'm like, well, that house is shovel
that house is shovel that house is shoveled. I gotta
do it, Like I feel like it's my duty as
a person in the neighborhood because I maybe it's because
I have a dog, and I walk the dog, so
like I'm walking my dog last night, and it's miserable

(44:51):
because you'll be like a couple of patches of nice, nice,
cleanly shoveled sidewalk and then like some dicks out there,
and it's like you're on an ice slusion. You don't
know if you're gonna fall and rip up your knee,
your dog's gonna get hurt. It is, honest to God.
I don't know that there's a worse group of humans
on the planet than people who don't shovel their sidewalk.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
I mean, I hear your complaints, a thank you, and
I know where you're coming from because I used to go.
I used to run at night in the wintertime, okay,
and the houses that had the snow on the sidewalk sucked.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
They are dicks, you know. But you know what, I
don't feel any pressure to do it. If I have
the time to go out and do it, I'll get
it done. I view it as a responsibility. I view
it as a civic responsibility, a neighborhood responsibility. I don't
ask people in the neighborhood for much like it's your property.
If you want to have a giant, forty foot tall fence,
if you want to have a car on blocks out
in the front yard, if you want to have like

(45:44):
this one house has in my neighborhood where it just
says the F word on the mailbox. I don't care.
That is your prerogative, that's your property. But I have
to walk on that piece of property when I walk
my dog. Shovel your freaking sidewalk, you lazy bums, and
that is I will very slip shoes, no, non slip,
it's ice. Do I have ice skates those little spikes

(46:04):
you can put on your shoes. He'll be fine. I'm
not gonna be fine. I don't want I don't want
to have to walk with that pressure. I don't want
to have to tiptoe round worried that I'm gonna hit
a piece of ice because some lazy bastard wouldn't go
out there for five minutes and get a snow pusher
and just push it. I'm not even asking to shovel,
because I don't shovel. Shoveling is the worst. You get
a little snow pusher, go to mayor get a snow pusher.

(46:25):
Boom boom, it's done, sidewalks done, Put a little ice
smelt down, boom. That's what you should be doing.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
You should start a charity, snow pushers for the poor.
I don't want to do theirs. Look you're gonna help
all these people. Maybe they can't afford it, snow pusher,
can't afford a snow pusher. You go, you find a
shovel for ten bucks, Go shovel the damn thing.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Don't start. You're making excuses. You're making lazy bum stone
excuse and shovel. Just get then pusher. No, okay, he's
so easy with the snow push. You are making lazy
bum excuses if that's for. You're a stoner. And you
walk around in your robe all day like your Labowski,
like you're the dude. You're not Labowski, you're the dude.
And you're in your little thing. I saw saw your
pictures this week, and you're standing out there with a
little cup of coffee in your cousin atty Row and

(47:03):
all this, and you're sitting here judging people like me
who make the neighborhood better. Well, you're judging. There's a
tone you took because you're like, I'm an alidas dude,
I'm James has smoke a dube and I dude, I
do videos about eating ramen and I'm not gonna shove
my sidewalk. I'm tired of it. I will not tolerate this.
There is a duty of the people in the neighborhood

(47:24):
to shovel your side, because I'm like, these people aren't
living in mansions I live in in Hazel Park. There
are no mansions in Hazel Park. They are tiny, little
old ass houses. So your little sidewalk is very small,
like a first down is longer than most of these sidewalks,
and these dogs won't get out there and just it
takes two seconds to do it. So then I have

(47:44):
to walk around on this treacherous ice with my dog
because you're a lazy bastard that doesn't want to go outside,
and they are they are lazy bastards. And I don't
ask neighborhood people a lot. I told you this, like
I don't care if you do Halloween and trick or treat,
and I don't care if your house there's a rundown shaft.
I don't own mine, so like I don't care my
property value isn't going on I do not care. My

(48:04):
next door neighbors are a couple of old, weird dudes
that have a bunch of go cart tires in their
backyard stacked as high as I can see. I don't care.
It's not my business, but it is my business. When
you don't shovel your sidewalk, you're a horrible human. Get
some boots. I'm not gonna say that you can still
slip in boots, James slipping just because you have boots.

(48:26):
The thing. Hey, we have a lot of lawyers that
advertise with us. So if you fall, I think you
might be a good point. I'm broke, but I'm still
still so just make sure you're hurt really bad when
you fall. You can think now my arm it's broken.
So anyway, that's That's just all I wanted to say today.
Those are thoughts that I had, and I was really ticks.
It's like ten degrees last night. My dog's freezing, he's

(48:48):
got to go out and pee. I'm trying to get
and then just the whole situation was bad. But I
but I also know that dog. I also know that
you and your wife are not people who truly care
about the neighbor I'm well aware of that. I'm well
aware that you guys are just selfish and that's what
happens in your Neighborhoo. What do you see me post
my Amazon driver video today? Oh god, I want to

(49:08):
get into that story too. If you want to get in,
text the word Josh and your message to five one
eight eight one. Are people who don't shovel their sidewalks
worse than the diddling football coach? Text the word Josh
and your message to five one eight eight one.

Speaker 7 (49:21):
There's a case to be made the Josh in his
show one O six point seven Dollz Detroit's Wheels one.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
O six point seven Detroit's Wheels. Josh in his show
Josh and James. What's Up?

Speaker 4 (49:38):
So?

Speaker 1 (49:38):
I got a text here that said I could actually
top your worst person in the world, the people who
don't shovel their sidewalks, which that's what we were talking
about a little while ago. Is I think that the
maybe worse than al Qaeda are people who don't shovel
their sidewalks in the neighborhood. They're just they're loathsome horrible
humans and I hate them. Sorry, that's my headphones. They're

(50:00):
too loud, well, because I was wearing a nit cap. Oh,
I know, right, hold on, hold on, let me put
my headphones on. Sorry, sorry, a full disclosure. So we
try to record these videos because Casey thinks it's going
to get us more than seven listeners. So we're trying
to mess with these cameras and everything, and if we're
going to film the show, I don't want to look

(50:21):
totally disheveled. So usually I just have a hat and
I put the hat on when we do videos, and
then I take the hat off. Well, I forgot the hat,
so then the only hat I had in the car
was a nit cap like a lion's winter hat. Problem
is it doesn't fully get my headphones over my ears,
and thus it gives me feedback. None of that matters.
So got a text from somebody and it says, actually,

(50:43):
people who are worse than those who don't shovel their
sidewalks are people who don't pick up their dogs poop ooh,
and I would agree with that time. I'm on board
with that for sure. So I do want to understand though,
because someone said, yeah, Josh, this is totally an old
man rant. This is not an old man rant like
why would there be an old man like what Like,
I'm not telling you to get off my lawn. I'm
just telling you to shovel your damn sidewalks walk because

(51:05):
I can't walk safely with my dog. It's the truth.
I'm sorry that I don't want to fall on my
slip and break my hip because I'm cold. That's not
about old that's not about old age. Pal That is
not an old age thing. Any of us could fall
and break our hip on ice. It's an old man thing,
you know, like oops, I got out of bed and
I slipped and I broke my hip or something. That's
an old man thing. You know, Oops, I fell out

(51:26):
of my acorn stair lift and broke my hip. That's
an old man thing. You should that says. Okay, it
is not an old man thing to go, Hey, I'm
gonna you know, you know, fall on ice. Anybody could
fall on ice, young old It doesn't have my dog Bambi.
Anybody could fall on ice. So yeah, that is wrong.
So uh look, I just I hate people who don't shovel.

(51:46):
I don't get it, like, especially when the snow like
we had the other day, which was not barely more
than a dusting. It was mean it was two three
inches whatever, But like, get out of here's even more
reason not to shovel lip because the sun will do
the job for you. They come, this glorious ball of
fire comes upon the sky and it's raised. Come down
and touch that snow.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
It will melt away because you don't have to get
out in my robe and grab a snowshovel and clear
the side of walk so my neighbor three doors down
can walk his dog safely.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Can you introduce me to the sun of which you speak, Yeah,
just go outside and take a look. Yeah, it's never there.
It is desolate. We're like Alaska right now when it's dark,
and we leave when it's dark. Okay, point being in
all of this, I never see this sun. It never
melts this. And by the way, you know it's gonna
happen when the sun melts that snow, then it's just
gonna become ice and become even worse because these people
aren't gonna treat it with any salt or anything. So

(52:35):
if that's an old man stands, then it's an old
man stance, I guess. But to me, it's not. That
is not That is a human being stands. The stance
is I it is a human being stands. I speak
for all human ages have involved in this complaint. There
isn't it is a human being stands. And the stance
is this. The stance is that the worst people on

(52:59):
the planet are those who don't shovel their sidewalks. The
worst people on the planet b are people who don't
pick up their dogs poop, and then the third worst
people are al Qaeda. That's the hierarchy of horrible people.
So do your job, and I'm I'm bored with the
dog poop people. The shovel people do wist dog poop.
Not an old man argument. So it's just everything that

(53:21):
you bitch about make you an old man. So as
long as you bitch about something, you're an old man,
I think for the most part. But that's what you
do when you get old. But I'm thirty nine that
I bitch about stuff, I'm not old, but bitch about stuff,
I'm not old at all. Do you recognize more than
two people on the jingle ball? Yes? Oh darn okay. Well,

(53:42):
unlike the guy who called them one of the shine
doown tickets? A second ago in his literal line, was, look,
can I get them shine Down tickets? I was like, sure,
I'll give me some Shinedown tickets. Yeah. I didn't want
to pay for it because there was a lot of
rap crap. He's like, I can couldn't afford that Nelly.
Nelly's barely rap like your grandma likes Nellie. He ain't
rap like Nelly, but I do because remember another person

(54:02):
at the jingle ball? Is that that guy that sang
that vodka Cranberry song? And then another person at the
jingle ball? What is her damn name? Atlanta something? She
just does skanky videos and stuff. She's basically like Tate McCrae.
She just walks around basically naked and sings songs that
aren't good. Maybe I should see bs some extra tickets
to go. You should. First of all, Shinedown's gonna be there,

(54:24):
and that's fun. But second of all, you got Nelly,
who's a great time, and then this chick that's scantily clad,
and then this guy who sings the vodka cranberry. Do
you think they'll be able to give us any time
with any of these artists? No, not at all. I
actually texted Tony about that. I was like, hey, can
we talk to shine Down? Never got a response. Oh
but if I say, hey, what do you think about
Lou Whitaker, He's like, hold on, I got four hours

(54:45):
for you. You should be like, hey, what if we
talk to Shinedown about Lou Whitaker? See what their dances
on his odad. It's a great call. Hey, man's a
big baseball fan. He's a big Detroy Tigers fan, especially
in the eighties, Whittaker is number one player. What do

(55:07):
you say We get him in the room and we
talk Lou Whitaker with him? All right, So here's what
I'm gonna do because just a random thing I want
to do here. So we just played Boys of Summer
by Don Henley. The Ataris have a version of that
song called Boys of Summer. Absolutely it is their version
of It's a pop punk version of it from the
early two thousands. Now, I could play You in the

(55:28):
End by Lincoln Park, but I don't feel like listening
to another depressing Lincoln Park song today, Like nothing puts
me in a more depressed mood at eight forty five
in the morning than Hey, life sucks. It's Lincoln Park.
Like I'm sure many of you like it, and I
have nothing against it. But I didn't grow up hating myself.
Like I thought about this because someone messaged yesterday and
they're like, well, aren't you an angry person? Why don't

(55:50):
you love Lincoln Park. I don't know, because when I
when they were a big thing, when I was fifteen,
I didn't hate my life other than the fact that
I couldn't get you know, laid and I watched a
lot of soft corey rotica. Other than that, I didn't
hate my life. If I didn't hate my parents, I
didn't want to die. I why you are into some
of the hair metal that you're into. I'm into happy things.
You know. We were just listening to Hunger Strike a
second ago, and it's like, oh, mouthpel dignity, and so

(56:14):
I'm like, you know who had a mouth of decadence? Huh,
I'll tell you who did, my man, Vince Neil. Guess
who's still alive? Vince Neil? You know who's not alive.
Most of the people that's saying depressing grunge music facts,
These are just facts. I'm telling you. I think maybe
one guy from the Temple of the Dog is not around, Okay,
My point being is these hair metal guys they live forever.

(56:36):
They are eternal, Okay, like most of these grunge guys
and saying depressing ass music, many of them are dead.
Now you know who's still alive. Enough's enough is still alive.
It is mostly done by their own hands, too correct.
I'm not celebrating it. What I'm telling you is it's
depressing ass music. And I prefer music that's fun and
nothing but a good time. And we're doing drugs and

(56:56):
sex and car crashes and fun things so sexyg right,
that's what I'm here for. So instead of playing Lincoln
Park explosions. You know that people love Lincoln Park and
that's fine. Yeah, but here's what I'm gonna do. I'm
gonna get you guys involved in the show, not your
a cup of tea, which is okay, and I get

(57:17):
I'm not against it. I think it's all fine. It's
just it's super depressing. And at eight forty five line
that got yourself in a good mood, you don't even
in a sad state.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
So you're not gonna play to stay in a happy
mood because it makes my life easier. Well, I'm gonna
play the Ataris version of Boys of Summer, and then
I want your feedback on the text We're doing like
an old school radio pump it or dump it type. Wow. Okay,
do you prefer the Ataris version of Boys of Summer
or the Don Henley version of Boys of Summer? Okay?
So I'm gonna play the Ataris version now and you

(57:46):
tell me which one you prefer. Okay. So this is
the Ataris doing, Don Henley, get your text ready, Text me, Josh,
text r Josh and your message to five one eight
eight one Josh and your message to five one eight
eight one. All has to be in the same message,
Don Henley, Boys of Summer or Atari's Boys of Summer.

(58:07):
Get those in now. Let's send to a poll. Here
here it is Tari's Detroit's Wheel Fight. There you go.
That's the ataris doing, Don Henley. That is the Boys
of Summer, Josh and his show. The consensus on the
text is that the Don Henley version is better. Really yeah,
This text says anybody can play the instruments, but the
singer's voice makes the band.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Well.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Look, Don Henley is one of the best vocalists ever.
Like period. You know, there's a line in one of
the in the Eagles documentary, and it was about you
know who they chose to sing a lot of the
songs in the band, and for the most part it
was glennon Donn and occasionally you'd get a song and
I'd argue, some of the best songs the Eagles did
were performed by Joe Walsh, like Pretty Maids all in
Row and like, there were really good Joe Walsh vocals

(58:50):
because he kind of had that quality of Joe Cocker
where his voice wasn't great, and that's kind of what
made the songs good, is that it was kind of
a gravelly, like there was pain in the guys voice.
So certain songs just sounded better, came out more emotional.
But they would ask, you know, why didn't you sing
more of the songs or whatever? To Glenny Go, I mean,
the answer was easy. We had Don Henley, and so

(59:11):
that guy's not wrong. Don Henley is one of the
greatest vocalists ever. You are totally right. I just prefer
that version of it. I like the Atari's version better,
but I like the pop punky sound and part of
it might just be being kind of beaten down by
hearing the other versions so much that just anything different
kind of changes your viewpoint on it. But like I think,
like the alien Ant Farm Smooth Criminal, I like that

(59:34):
exponentially more than I liked the Michael Jackson that was
a jam back in the day, So I like that one.
I'm trying to think of other covers that were better,
and like American Woman, I liked the Lenny Kravitz version.
It was funny because we bring this up.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
I was thinking about this yesterday driving home from work,
and I'm like, because I know you always talk covers,
and I know one of the topics I know you
want to get into is like cover songs better than
the original and all that, And I was like, oh no,
what Josh just take is on the American Woman.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
I think I think the the Lenny Kravitz versions. I
prefer the Lennykravitch as well, But it's not to say
the other versions are bad. Like here's another take, and
this is probably my least popular take when it comes
to cover songs that I prefer. So the song baby
I Love Your Way. And I don't know this for
a fact, but I feel like Baby I Love Your
Way is probably like one of the most covered songs
of all time. If you googled most covered songs of

(01:00:22):
all time, that's like it's a bar band banger and
every band in the world does you know? Their version
of Baby I Love You especially on tick Night. But
I feel like the best version of Baby I Love
Your Way is by a group called Big Mountain, and
it's a ska version of Baby I Love Your Way,
and it's and it's just let me see if I
can find I'm sure we have it, but it's called

(01:00:42):
it's called Baby I Love Your Way. But there's also
another version that will not be popular. But there is
a baby I Love Your Way free bird medley by
a pop group called Will to Power Wow, which was
from the late eighties. But anyway, so Big Mountain their
version of Baby I Love Your Way let me see
all I'll find it. But I just think it's great.
I love the ska kind of vibe of it. I

(01:01:05):
think it's better than the Peter Frampton version of it.
It was a preference. It's not even to say that
it's better. It's just a preference. I prefer that version
of it over other versions, so over the original everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Look, I prefer real big fishes take on me, and look,
I would agree with you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
I think that's a fun version of it. So uh, anyway,
let's see here. Definitely, the Don Henley version is better.
That one sounded like Josh copy and pasted the lyrics
into that AI. Again. First of all, everyone knows we're
not allowed to do that, and second of all, I'm
go on copying and pasting the lyrics into the AI.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
What also amazes me is the number of people who,
like you play the Atari's version of that, they've never
heard it. Like, it's just weird to me that somebody
would have never heard that version of that song.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
I mean, coming from alternative radio when I got my start,
like that was a regular in rotation and turned instant gold.
You heard that once it came out, you heard it forever. Yeah,
and that's really like the only big hit like the
Guitaris had.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Like, even if I were to go see them live,
I wouldn't know what to expect to hear them play.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
That's why I wouldn't go see them live. You know,
I'd be like, that's all I want to hear. I
don't know anything else by the ataris. Here's that Big
Mountain version of baby, I Love Your Way? What the
hell happened here? Ah, I'm going to the computer. No something,
hold on, let me try this. How about now baby
I love every Day? Ye I just like this version better.

(01:02:28):
Who's that other band that didn't? This is like the
version I know the most. This is a great store
banger right here. Oh totally yeah. And then you have
other ones like uh oh yeah, it's good. Then there's
you Be forty and You Be forty, and they did
red red Wine, which was originally written and performed by
Neil Diamond. By the way, okay, but because Neil Diamond's
one of the greatest songwriters of all time. See now

(01:02:49):
you got me in my wheelhouse. But so there's that that.
After all, I am the doc of soft rock. Yes
you are, there's that version undisputed. You be Forty also
had the I Can't help falling in love with you.
They did a couple Elvis songs I think UB forty
Did I know they did that one that was in
a movie called Sliver, which was a movie where Sharon
Stone and one of the Baldwin brothers just boned all

(01:03:11):
the time. And that's why I remember it. But that
UB forty version of that one. What's the other UB
forty There was a couple of UB forty and every
one of them were like cover songs that were like,
according to Google, Elvis Presley Can't help falling in Love
with You. Other notable covers include Lord Creator's Kingston Town,
Well tell Me what Yunie, Donaldson's Cherry Old Baby, and

(01:03:32):
El Green's Here I Am Come and people, that's a
good one. The UB forty eight version of that one's
good too. But anyway, I know it's a random discussion,
but I enjoy this type of musical discussion about about
cover songs and versions of the cover song. And then
there's a lot of songs that are cover songs you'd
have no idea were cover songs, Like you didn't know
that there were like a lot of people don't know

(01:03:53):
that Neil Diamond wrote Red red Wine and perform Red
red Wine because it was one of like his first things.
People don't know that Neil Diamond wrote I'm Able because
when people associated I'm a believer, they think of the monkeys,
and then they think of Shrek and they think of
smash Mouth and like that's when they think of that. Well,
Neil Diamond wrote, I'm a believer so or speaking of

(01:04:14):
Shrek and smash Mouth in that era. The Counting Crow's
version of Big Yellow Taxi. I think that's a much
better version of it than the original eight Paradise. If
you put up a parking lone, yeah, pay of Paradise
and put up a parking lot does originally by Joni Mitchell,
maybe I think I think Joni Mitchell wrote that. And
Big Yellow Taxi. I think their version of Big Yellow

(01:04:36):
Taxi is fantastic. So obviously I have a bias towards,
you know, the nineteen nineties and early two thousands. That's it,
clearly where my bias lies. I like these nineties and
two thousands versions better than I like a lot of
the original versions of them. But that's just those are
the ABC's and me. I don't know what to tell you,
but if you want to get in, shoot us a text.
Text the word Josh and your message to five one

(01:04:58):
eight eight one. This one says play Joe Cocker. His
voice will never be duplicated. That is true. You think
of the Wonder Years, you think of there's another cover version.
So that's his version of With a little help from
my Friends, which is originally by the Beatles. Joe Cocker's
version to me is much better, but I also associate
it with the Wonder Years, and I hear it more often,

(01:05:18):
so it's easier to associate it with that. You see,
best cover versions of songs is one of my favorite discussions.
So I, once you in, tell me a cover version
that is better than the original, And if I find
one that I really super duper like, maybe I'll give
you a buzz. If you shoot in a text or
a call or whatever, maybe I'll hook you up with
Shine Down tickets. There you go, because I'm feeling frisky.

(01:05:40):
Let me see what this person on the phone wants.
Let's see here weels? Hello? Who's this?

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
De Troy? Hey, what's up? Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Man?

Speaker 8 (01:05:51):
I listen to you guys every morning. You guys rock
and you need to go nowhere. You need to stay
where you're at and keep rocking Detroit.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Well, I appreciate that. Do you want to go see
Shine Down?

Speaker 8 (01:06:04):
I've never seen Shine Down, but I love their music
and that stuff. You guys are sitting talking about the
different song by different bands.

Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
Now have you heard the one that hearing it?

Speaker 5 (01:06:16):
Tonight by Marilyn Manson painted.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Oh dude, Tainted Love. His version of that is like
creepy and awesome and great.

Speaker 8 (01:06:24):
It doesn't make you see the video. You ever seen
the video?

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
Yeah, wild, it's I agree. Hey, do you want me
to give you these shine Doown tickets?

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Sure, but let me put you on you sound and sad.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Now now you're trying to give these away? Okay, please
take the shine Down tickets. Please take the shine Down tickets.
I just please shine down. I'm just ever night that
he just wanted to go see wanted to shine down?
I got you. Uh No, But I agree with him
on the Maryland Man's and the Tainted Love one. I
agree with that too. I think that's good. Let's see,
there's some others that kind of did like a well.
The obvious one is the uh Hurt Johnny Cash. Johnny

(01:07:02):
Cash's version of Hurt is the time greatest cover, Like, like,
we played the nine Inch Nails version and I get that,
Like to me, I don't even think that's a good song,
Like I just think it's fine whatever. But the Johnny
Cash mixed with the video mixed with June Carter in
the background, you know that she's gonna die not long
after it comes out. Then he dies not too long
after her. Yep, let's see here wheels, Hello, you're on.

Speaker 5 (01:07:24):
I was gonna say same thing for the car said,
Oh my god, he just took all the words out
of my mouth.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
Well do you want to go see Shine Down? No? Don't.

Speaker 5 (01:07:35):
I rather wantch grass grow and watch it out.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Oh oh, that's no good. They did a version of
a Simple Man. I think that's one that I think
the originals are better. And I also think that the
Metallica version of Turn the Page's inferior to the original
version of Turn the Page. So there are some where
I think the original is a much better song. But
shine Down and and well there was another. Nickelback did

(01:08:03):
a version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia That
was not good too. So anyway, if you want to
get in, shoot us a text. Text the word Josh
and your message to five one eight eight one. We've
got a text here that says five Finger Death Punch
doing a cover of Bad Company. I am very anti
five Finger Death Punch, not a fan. I'm just I
don't like five Finger Death Punch, but I don't mind

(01:08:24):
them all right anyway, so I gotta I gotta do
some commercials here.

Speaker 5 (01:08:27):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
I apologize. We've talked far too long and we will
be getting in trouble belts coming out. We got to
get the belt, all right, so look out. I really
wish I wouldn't have deleted the belt sound effect by accident,
but I did. So I need to get a new
one and we will continue after this. The Josh in
his show one O six point seven WLV Detroit's Wheels.
One of six point seven Detroit's Wheels. Have you seen

(01:08:50):
the shirt that Ozzy is selling? Well, he's not because
rest in Power King, but the Ozzy Osbourne family on
the Ozzi merch site is selling No, Okay, this shirt
is fantastic. So I don't know if you know the backstory,
but there's a backstory with Ozzy and Roger Waters of
Pink Floyd ok on right, they go, Well, Roger Waters,
for whatever reason, hates Ozzie and he thinks his music

(01:09:11):
sucks and all that kind of stuff. He's never liked it.
So there's a shirt and I don't know if it's
still for sale on there, but it was on the
Ozzie merch side and it was a shirt that just
it features Ozzie taking a leak on a rainbow, so
it looks like the Pink Floyd album like the Wall,
and it says another prick in the wall that's funny,
Like it's the greatest shirt of it. So well done,

(01:09:33):
Jack and share it and everybody involved in that, because
like Jack has been very outspoken about that, like talking
about how Roger Waters as an a hole and all that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
So I dig that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Now that that's quality right there, that's what's funny. Then
the beck is Ozzie Rules. Yes, that's a great I
need to order that. It's forty five bucks, but I mean,
what are you gonna do? Some of it going to
charity or something? I don't know. The charity is the Osbourne's.
The charity is Kelly, Jack and Shot. Although I doubt
they any of them need money. I'm sure they're doing
pretty fun. You know, you gotta give Jack credit to

(01:10:03):
because Jack just found a way to like kind of
parlay being Jack Osborne into all these different shows like
Shoot exactly Ghosts. All it is is like the show
is here's Jack Osborne and Ozzy and now they're on
a road trip or now they're ghost hunters. Now they're
bigfoot hunters. They even turned one show into just them
Mistery Science Theater in like reality videos. No, so here's

(01:10:25):
what it was. So before Ozzie died on Amazon, it
was just them rewatching episodes of the Osbourne together, commenting
on the episode as an inception. But dude, it was
actually interesting. I watched like four or five episodes of
it because I love the Osbourne's and I love Ozzy
and all that. So I'm watching this and I laughed
my ass off. They're funny people, oh absolutely, And actually
kind of find Kelly to be hot. I don't know

(01:10:46):
if that's like weird or not, like because she looks
like Ozzy, like a lot like Ozzie, but I find
her hot and it's just a thing. I got a thing.
I got a kink for Kelly. I don't know what
to get. A king for Kelly like back in the
day or king for Kelly now.

Speaker 9 (01:10:59):
Both.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Yeah, like kind of like chunky, like you know, like
just like we're probably with the hot topic hair. Yeah,
like pink hot topic hair. I like that. Like she
was doing Papa Don't Print, There's a cover for You
in her version of Osbourne that was doing Burt from
the US for a little while. Yes, that Kelly Osbourne,
and I like current Kelly Osbourne. It's just the thing.
I'm into that. Then, speaking of covers, I got somebody

(01:11:21):
on that wants to talk about the greatest covers of
all time. Hello Wheels, Hey, you're talking about the remake song? Yeah?
What's god?

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
What about that one that I can't believe? I can't
remember who remade it? But it was Africa by Asia?
That was Weezer. Weezer, Yes, you know, they did a
pretty good job. I think i'd still take the original.
I hate both versions. I also real talk, I don't
like the song either. I'm tired of it both versions,
but I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:11:48):
I was just, man, I was just thinking, and I
was like, oh, that's one that might someone might not know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
First of all, that was Toto, not in Asia. But look,
I got continent, I got countries. I got them all. Actually,
both of those are continents, aren't they? Africa and Asia?
They are. They ran The problem is America. And then
there's a band called America, which is technically not a
continent North America. The band is not called North American,

(01:12:15):
and it also includes Canada and Mexico. Correct, So that's
not the case. There's your geography lesson for the day, kids.
I have a hot take. I really hate the song Africa.
I just do. This is gonna be like a Toto,
like what you would call a hipster take on Toto,
like when you talk with people that that really used
to love Green Day, but an American idiot they ruined

(01:12:37):
it like that, Like I'm a hipster when it comes
to Toto. I like almost every other Toto except Africa.
I just hate for whatever. I think. I'm just sick
of the song. I think that's the biggest takeaway I
have is that I'm sick of it. So I just
I don't like it. I also, fun fact, so my
dad is friends with this like weird kind of motley

(01:13:00):
crew of has been musical people. Okay, okay, So my
dad's like not buddy buddy with any huge stars, but
enough people who had enough hits where if you put
them all in a room together you can maybe sell
out a high school gymnasium. Okay, Okay, So my dad's
fiftieth birthday was almost ten years ago. Now I think
he's fifty eight, fifteen, fifty nine, so nine years ago,

(01:13:21):
my dad asked me to go to Baton Rouge for
his fiftieth birthday party because he threw himself a party.
Good for him, And I said, okay, whatever, I'll be there.
So it was in a high school gymnasium. And in
this high school gymnasium performing were a dude who was
one of the lead singers of Chicago, not Peter Setera,
but like the guy who did like look Away in

(01:13:42):
those songs like eighties power Ballady if you see me
walking by, Like his name is Bill Champlain. He was there,
and a guy by the name of Bobby Kimball, who
was the lead singer of Toto, who was there. This
gentleman had jet black dyed hair, jet black dyed mustache,

(01:14:03):
and he performed this song at my dad's fiftieth birthday
party Wow, And it was quite possibly the worst rendition
of any song I had ever heard, Happy Birthday Dad.
It was so bad that we were all like, is
he okay? There's a video and maybe I'll find it here,
but there's a video on YouTube of him performing at
some like outdoor festival in like a little downtown somewhere

(01:14:25):
a couple of years ago. You've never heard a worst
version of a song than Bobby Kimball doing. I want
to say it was Rosanna by Toto. I'll find the
video because it was terrible, but I really disliked that
for whatever reason. I hate this song. Fine, I say
I hate it. If I'm drunk enough, it'll be the
greatest song ever, like every song. But I'm just not

(01:14:46):
into it because you've heard it a thousand times. If
I wanted to be Toto hipster, I'd say, well, give me,
I'll be over you. Give me Rosanna, give me hold
the line. I'll supply the love org poor Gy. I mean,
go down the list. There's other Toto songs that I
find much better. But whatever. Now I'm just really just

(01:15:08):
trying to flex on how much I know about Toto.
You know a lot. Look that's a flex.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
Me.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
It's a weird flex, but I'll allow it. Let me
ask you this, What am I? Who am I I'm
the doctor rock? Yeah, you know who I am. I
mean you have time to think about where we're going
with that. I'm the doc of soft rock. I'm disputed
doc of soft rock. Correct. No one's trying to No
one's disputing it, all right, let's play some rock and roll. Actually,
we'll do that, and I'll see if I can find

(01:15:32):
that video. But it was on YouTube and it was
so sad. Anyway, speaking of cover songs, how about this,
How about Guns N' Roses doing Live and Let Die See?
I think that one is better than the original as well.
The thing about the covers, though, like every hair metal
band in the eighties had to do at least like

(01:15:53):
one cover, Like that's almost how they broke into it, right,
That's how a lot of bands get broke.

Speaker 5 (01:15:58):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
The thing is, though, in this I'm trying to think
of all of them, but I know that bon Jovi
did one, and I forgot what song bon Jovi covered,
but they had one. They might have done Brownsville. Do
they do another Brownsville station song? I forgot what they did?
But like Poison, did Your Mama, Don't Dance? The Fellas
in the Motley Crew band? They did well the smoking

(01:16:21):
in the Boys Room, Like so all of these hair
metal bands, signs by Tesla, like all of them kind
of had a cover that kind of not just didn't
necessarily jumpstart them, but they all had one, Like every
one of them had like a song that everybody knew
that they covered, right I'm sure there are other examples,
and you can text them in right now. Text the
word Josh and your message in the same message to

(01:16:43):
five one eight eight one if you have any others.
But that was a big thing in that era, was
they would like like, like even freaking Nirvana did a
cover The Man Who Sold the World, so like like
even those bands were doing covers too. But let's see here.
So Bobby Kimball, who was at one time the lead
singer of Africa. Now, granted this video is like ten
years old, but this is Bobby Kimball doing songs at

(01:17:06):
what looks like some outdoor like downtown like Live after
five type of deal. And this is maybe the worst
vocal you've ever heard on a song from a guy who,
by the way, was the vocalist. Oh, we just played Africa.
Africa's one of the biggest songs of all time, and
he's the vocalist on that, And this is him singing
that the worldwide for over a month and a half.

(01:17:27):
It's a better continent. It's called Africa. So you want
to see them home on the choruses, Come on, bab we'd.

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
Like to hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:17:39):
And here's where it starts off. Fine, my man's got
a jet black dyed mustache and soul patch jet black
dyed hair. Something's good. People are into They're like, yes,
forgot to see the guy who sang Africa performance live.

(01:18:02):
This is the highlight of our lives and that's about
to get going. Then when it gets going, you'll be like, oh,
here you go. It's a drum tonight and it's live
with gets better. Oh this is nothing.

Speaker 8 (01:18:24):
She's coming in.

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
Well, what do you play? I'm bad? That's bad.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
Right now.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
It's like he's old. Whatever, it's fine. I'm to man
the way. That's fine right now. It's decent.

Speaker 7 (01:18:46):
It's tolerable, trying to do me. Here it comes guys,
boys waiting for you. Now here's where it comes. Bundle up, everybody.
They got in the back of.

Speaker 1 (01:19:21):
So and then so people were ripping him in this
video right because it's got like one hundred almost a
million views of people who's ripping this guy? So then
he goes into the commons and he's like, my earpiece
was messed up and he's like fighting, Yeah, poor bastard,
But there you go. That was Bobby Kimball, who used
to be the lead singer of Africa. Everybody knows he

(01:19:42):
still got it. I still got it. I still got it. Man,
My hair pieces messed up. Your sons of bitches don't
know what it's like to be Bobby Kimball. But yeah,
so people are still texting in the covers that they
enjoy as well. See. To me, a good cover is
one that takes a song and makes it totally different,
like in a different almost genre. So that's why like
the Hurt, the Johnny Cash Hurt was so much better

(01:20:04):
because it became like an Americana song right, Like it
was shocking that you'd get nine inches. But by the way,
there were a couple of Johnny Cash ones like uh
Russy Cage and what was the other one? Personal Jesus,
He's a Retel's very like, it was really good and
it was so different, Like if you just go in
and do a cover of it and it sounds like
it like the Guns and Roses version of Live and

(01:20:26):
Let Die, It's got a little bits heavier and it
sounds cooler. If you just do a cover of a
song and it sounds similar, it's like, I'm not here
for that. But when you get me like a heavy
metal band that goes in and does like somebody brought
up Nickelbacks Saturday Nights all Right for Fighting, which of
course is arguably the heaviest of the Elton John songs.
You would say, all right, what does Nickelback sound like?
Nickel Back sounds pretty cool doing it. I want to

(01:20:47):
say Nickelback and Kid Rock did a version of that
together Saturday Night's all Right for Fighting. That was pretty good.
But yeah, so we've had a deep conversation about great
cover songs. Uh, and it is now culminated. I believe
we do have to get to a story about you
and the Amazon Man. Yeah, we have to do it.
Sounds like somebody from the jungle. I know you mean

(01:21:10):
a driver, a delivery driver. That's some man from the rainforest.
Here's an Amazon man at our home. What's the Amazon
man doing here? He's wearing like a lot of fear.
He's got crazy face paint. He may be a cannibal.
He looks like David Lee Roth on the eat him
and smile covery like, what is happening here? Jo Show

(01:21:31):
seven w LLZ Detroit's Wheels one O six point seventy Troy.
It's wheels. There you have it. There, there, it is
old Doc. He's retiring on Friday. He's supposed to come
up and hang out with us on Friday morning, so
we can share all sorts of stories and maybe Willie
mode I don't know, maybe we'll cry. I'm gonna cry.
I might. I might get about Stevie Nicks. I will

(01:21:54):
why not? I mean, what does he have to lose?
Now it's over, it's the end of the road. Maybe
that's how he'll end it, like a final Sh'll be like, well,
there you have it. That was destined the wind Kansas
and I banged Stevie Nicks goodbye. It would be the
ultimate sign off. And yes, it's true. I banged Steven
will Well, Me and Stevie Nicks. We did a lot

(01:22:15):
of blow together and the night ended in uh, what
they call an Eiffel Tower. We were not we were
not in France. We were at Cobo Hall and it
was me, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Here you go. Ah,
but no, Well, we'll talk with Doc on Friday. It's

(01:22:35):
his last day, and I'm going to miss him because
I think Doc is truly and I mean this wholeheartedly.
I think Doc is the only person in this building
that things were actually good at this. I agree. I
think he is because like Tony, I think Tony thinks
we're fine. Tony's like the big programming book. But I
truly believe Tony has me around for the low Whitaker conversation.
He's got someone to pal around with and occasional like

(01:22:58):
I'm like one of the Memphis Moth you for, Tony,
Like I don't serve a purpose, but I'm just a
hanger on, Like I'm a buddy, Like why is Josh here?
Josh just a cras takes a pressure man. Josh exists,
so when I tell him about my fantasy baseball team,
I have someone to bounce things off of, like and Casey,
I think, just like tolerates us. I think. And then

(01:23:19):
no one else even knows who we are other than
your wife, but that's for obvious reasons. But other than that,
no one knows who we are around here, Like I
just kind of skate through life through here, just kind
of weave in and out, like it won't be long
until someone like sends out an email and it's like, no,
the guy in the black T shirt is not a rando.
He works here, the guy the ugs and the shorts. Yeah,
that's that's the host of the morning show. Correct, here's

(01:23:42):
a story for you. So, according to a survey, survey says, uh,
here's how long each generation spins on social media each day?
Are we millennials? I guess technically, what year were you born?
I was born eighty two, eighty two, so eighty two
would make you a millennial? Like, I feel like I
always fall on the millennial category. But I'm like, but

(01:24:02):
I don't. I don't do these millennial things. Well, but
you're a millennial, and so am I. You just missed
Generation X by like a year. But we are millennials.
So gen Z, which are people born from nineteen ninety
seven to twenty twelve. Gen Zers spend over five hours
a day on social media, believe it. Millennials spend about
three hours a day on social media. Gen X spends

(01:24:25):
and that's nineteen sixty five to nineteen eighty one point
eight hours, and boomers spend one point five hours. I
don't believe that because I think boomers spend their entire
day on Facebook getting scammed. Someone's getting scammed by like
you know, Roger Dawtry, who's telling them that, you know, hey,
cut well, let's let's get married. I think they're getting

(01:24:46):
married to the one armed drummer from def Leppard.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
I wonder if they have stats, like when they can say, like, okay,
every you know, ten minutes a new baby's born or
you know, somebody dies of a disease. How many minutes
is it, you know, when every single person it's a boomer,
it's getting scammed on social media?

Speaker 1 (01:25:02):
Every time a boomer is getting scammed by a member
of a hair metal band, Like how many minutes between
people getting scammed by chipsy enough on on Facebook? How
many people think they are getting married to Simon Lebon.
But let's see here, we are millennials, dude. I think

(01:25:22):
I'm on social media more and it's not like Twitter
and stuff. I used to be on Twitter and fight
with people all the time. Now I don't know what
the algorithm has done. But like, I tweet things and
no one sees them. I have thirty thousand followers. I
never bought any so I assume some of them are real.
I tweet things and they just poof going to Elon
did to the platform once he took over, and then
I think the exodus of all the users that were

(01:25:44):
on the platform, not using it anymore a new owner.
That's so much action on Twitter. I used my biggest
platform totally. I mean because I have a bunch of
people that followed in Philadelphia. Those people get angry about anything,
So if you tweet something about the Philadelphia Eagles or whatever,
you're guaranteed a hundred likes and re tweets because they're nuts.
Nothing that's like I'm farting into the wind. There's nothing.
So I don't really screw around on there much anymore.

(01:26:05):
Where I get myself is I sit on Instagram all day. Reels, reels, reels,
Edmund Fitzgerald, reel bang a hot chick that's coming to
jingle balls ass reel like just reels. Not so up.
This morning I woke up. I sat on the commode
for ten minutes scrolling reels real and then I'll send
them to my wife. She's like, it's four in the morning,

(01:26:26):
why are you sending me a reel. I don't want
you to forget about this awesome reel about how you
make a boozy doctor Pepper, Jilly. I need you to
see this I need you to see this so you'll
make me a boozy Doctor Pepper. Don't be a bit hint.
I get off here at ten o'clock. When I get home,
I want a boozy Doctor Pepper with the little Christmas
tree cake creamer on top. Yeah, don't cheap out on

(01:26:48):
that Christmas tree cake cream. Don't go generic. I want
specific creamer for this. Additionally, the survey found that Facebook
and Instagram were the top two social media platforms. Let's see.
Seventy three percent of gen Z said they strongly are
somewhat agree that they get better TV and movie recommendations
from social media. Fifty two percent of millennials said the same.

(01:27:10):
Sixty two percent of gen Z admitted to buying items
directly from social media platforms, which I will not do.
But my dad, who falls into the category of uh,
I guess my dad would fall into the category of
gen X, So I guess my dad. My dad is
the king of coming home with a three sizes too
small Scooby Doo shirt from China. I've had those days
in my life too. Facebook. My dad goes to Facebook

(01:27:32):
and if he sees some tack the attack here, the
better you know. You know who can really tell who
the real boomers are. This is the dead giveaway for
a boomer if they have that one Hawaiian shirt that
has all the bands on it like kiss and if
they have that shirt, they have been scammed by somebody
on Facebook before they've sent lots of money's worth of
gift cards. This like when you see that guy and

(01:27:54):
I guarantee you here's a stat for you. Three out
of every four people that listen to Detroit's Wheels have
bought that shirt Facebook. There's a static for you. So
you got right there. It's a fact, not an opinion
fact that if you listen to Wheels, there's a seventy
eight percent chance that you have been scammed on Facebook
and you have purchased that shirt that has all of
the bands on it. What are the stats that they're

(01:28:15):
wearing that shirt right now? That is there's a forty
seven percent chance that they are wearing that shirt. You
didn't use ai to calculate that, right with cargo shorts,
With cargo shorts and Jesus sandals. Jesus said, no, no, no, no,
take it back. Solid white, New Balance, solid white with
just a little blue around the outline of the end

(01:28:37):
dad shoes if you want to call them that, that
would be my guess. Let's see. And I think the
other data is that eight out of every nine point
seven people that listen to wheels are missing a limb.
Oh wow. So yeah, these are just facts. I'm not
spinning these out. These are this is just data. Look
take that for data. Trust hey, trust the science. Maybe

(01:28:57):
we wheel needs looking to like helping the table a
little bit more. If we got that many missing limbs,
I think we should you know, and see if we
can raise some money to buy some prosthetic arms. That
should be our bit. Yeah, prosthetic arms like Jade Towers
takes all those kids that isney. Maybe we can just
get some people some prosthetic limbs. Yeah, or maybe like hey,
so Casey was like, look, you guys need to come

(01:29:18):
up with some ideas for next year, like some charities
or whatever. Like we instead of doing like breaking and
entering Christmas like Mojo is doing and all the people
who stole it from Mojo on stations across the country
because they're original. What we need to do, see this
is original. What we need to do is have like
one lucky home, have an acorn stare lift put in
their home.

Speaker 3 (01:29:37):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
Yeah, it's like we'll call it lift, like a lift
up for Christmas or something like that, or like we'll
pick a random holiday, like I don't know, Saint Patrick's Day.
Like we'll come have a party at your house and
it culminates with an acorn chairlift being installed in your home.
You can make your appearance at the party as you
come down the stairs in the chairlift. We can play
the kiss Me by U. I was thinking more like

(01:30:01):
the Space Odyssey music. Oh yeah, two thousand and one. See,
in my mind, I was thinking of she's all that
when she walks down the stairs and like she's looking
smoking hot because she took off her glasses and took
off her ponytail, and wow, you're hot. You look like
a nerve but now you're hot. Yes, but I was
thinking that but with sixpence none the Richard like one

(01:30:22):
of our listeners coming down the stairs in an a
corn stairlift. Wow, look at Dorothy, isn't she hot? Those
silver sneakers are paying off. Oh god, that would be
that would be elite. That would be among the more
elite things we've ever done. See, and then that would
be original. We wouldn't be stealing that bit from anybody.
It would be our special bit where one of our

(01:30:43):
lucky listeners and then the golden oldies can steal our bit.
Like all of a sudden, someone's coming down in an
a corn chairlift and you're hearing Oh yeah, you're like,
this is great. Everybody's watching in slow motion. There's a
bunch of dudes with like seven fingers that are like.

Speaker 9 (01:31:05):
It's magical. It goes down those stairs pretty fast. She
better hold on, you're sped in.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
No, Dorothy doesn't need to be strapped in because Dorothy's healthy,
that's true, fixed care of herself. Yeah, let's not act
like like I would need that far more likely than
Dorothy would need that. Actually, here you go this, this
is the big one here. So not Dorothy because she
would not need an a corn chairlift. She goes to

(01:31:38):
silver sneakers. She's fine. But you know, random listener that
we install the acorn chairlift. You know they're coming out
big party, we've celebrated. Some cover band is there. Doc
is there because he's everywhere. He's still invited. If there's
a party, Doc's going to be there. He's like, well,
because I don't want to do it. Doc knows how
to work the crowd, so Doc will be there like
ladies and gentlemen. The first ever winner of the Josh

(01:32:00):
and his show lift up for Saint Patrick's Day all
of a sudden, like who is it? Suspensive building like
gradually the well.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
We're at their house and they're like, who is it?
Who is it?

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:32:14):
I think it's Mark, the guy who owns the home
Mark sitting at the Acorn stair lift. He's got like
a sleeveless Slayer shirt on and he's like, I'm ready. No, sorry, sorry,
he's actually cut the shirt from Facebook all that because
that's his good shirt, that's his lucky shirt. That's the
shirt he wore when he called in to qualify. And

(01:32:36):
he's smoking a cigaread. Oh god, letting him go down
those stairs slowly making his way down the stairs and
the chair lift.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
What a lucky bastard that guy has. Everybody's looking on
with envy. Oh, your friends are the old folks, so
they're gonna be jealous.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
And like.

Speaker 1 (01:33:02):
But then something happens and it gets stuck there hapway
there Ah, Then you and I have to go up
the stairs and carry his at down. That's how it
would work. We can cut that out for social media, right,
we got that part out. What we're gonna do is
we're gonna wait for the chair to get to the bottom.
We're just gonna put him back in the chair and
we're gonna make it seem like it came down. We'll

(01:33:23):
fix it in post and then our next giveaway is
hover round for Halloween. I like it retreating style in
a hover round. Oh god, we play this commercial where
this person's like, you have irritable bowel syndrome and you're constipated.

(01:33:43):
That seems like it being like counterintuitive, Like it seems
like you'd explode if you'd say, from everything I know
about irritable bowel syndrome, it means you poop a lout
like you have like you know, loose stools symptoms that
are on opposite ends of the spectrum. So how are
you constipated and have IBS? Because I feel like you'd
be pooping out of your mouth or something to that.
With the cake, it's like coming out of it over

(01:34:06):
the hole will allow with his nose, Oh, I got
he bloop his nose that he's poop is leaking out
of his eyelids. He whisty possessed. It's satan. Your mouth
is in here with us anyway, But that is weird
to me. Ibs and constipation, that would seem like you'd combust,

(01:34:28):
But what do I know? Anyway, I appreciate all you guys.
We gave away three pairs of tickets to see Shine Down.
And those rap guys. Is that collar pudding? Those expensive
rap guys, Those expensive rap guys. He's like, I can't
afford him. Why well, I look, I spend money for
Shine Down, but I ain't got the money for expensive
rap guys. Not for those rap guys. Ah boy, anyway,

(01:34:54):
got another text? Hey, what about Marilyn Manson's cover of
Sweet Dreams. That's a good one. Maryland Manson's got a
couple that are good. Tainted Love, though I really dig too.
I think that's a good one again because it's so
different than the actual version of it, and also it
definitely makes it his own when he when he covers
a song. But I also what we view as the
original version of Tainted Love is not actually the original

(01:35:15):
version either. I think there's another version of Tainted Love.
I don't think the soft Cell version is the first version.
I don't think I might be wrong on that, but
I think there's a version that predates soft Cell. There's,
you know, speaking of that era. How about Billy Idols
version of Money Moony? That's a better version than was
it Tommy James and the Chondell's Is that? Who did

(01:35:36):
the original version of Gloria Jones ring a bell for
teinted Love? I'll take it. I don't know who that is,
but that's what I thought, though I didn't believe that
soft Cell was the original version of that, and now
I know. But anyway, so we're going to get out
of here because Rob is banging on the door right
now and he always points to his watch. He's like
as if like, oh, is that you a weary one?

(01:35:57):
I know he's doing that to try to flex guys. Listen,
it's my time now. Okay. That's Rob. That's how he operates.
And then Doc's going to be in here, and that's
the final three shows for Doc. So it is this
is his Europe. Well, let me tell you about the
time that me and Europe we ran a train on
the girls of Vixen. Wow. But to know that probably

(01:36:20):
didn't happen. But maybe who knows. I don't know what
doc does that that dude was wild, a dude that
wore those kind of glasses in the seventies and eighties.
Oh yeah, and one thing that business, well it means
a serial killer probably, But anyway where the body's not
where the bodies, that'd be great. Like his last show,
he goes, well, as it turns out, I am one
of the most notorious serial killers of all time. You

(01:36:42):
ever hear the Zodiac Killer? Well, he's like, well, remember
all those documentaries you guys watched about DV Cooper. Well
you're looking at him. So have a good one. Everybody.
Here's big old jet airliner. I'll see you later. All right. Anyway,
we gotta get out of here. Rob is old boy.
Now he's he's got a gun. We gotta go. We'll
