(00:00):
A problem, Michael, and Iam so sorry that you faced part of
it. There is one joy ofbeing single with no kids, and it's
I have no real responsibilities. Go. This is the slightly messy Show with
Mike and Megan. State means amessy show, messy, messy Mike and

(00:22):
Megan. It's a slightly messy showwith Mike and Magan. And we're stopped
and we're going What an absolute shitshow of a start to a podcast.
What an absolute I don't even understandhow we got to this point, but

(00:46):
we don't even understand how you workwithout engineers. This is I'm literally like
about to stop my foot tantrum style. Cannot believe. I cannot believe.
I cannot believe this. I'm attruly pretty angry right now. O.
Now you know how I do it? Every single day? Wow, every

(01:07):
day. I truly honestly, Mike, Mike's actually working out of Detroit today.
I'm working in Grand Rapids, AndI have to tell you I truly
appreciate swapping work experiences for the fullunderstanding of like what it is like for
each of us in our different scenarios. Because this I don't even know if

(01:30):
I could curse because I'm not evensure if I'm on the air right now
with us and next or not.This spit is wild wild Oh yeah,
oh yeah absolutely, And that's everyday. That's my every day. So
now you know when like you werelike you were like, Mike, just
go ask the engineer. I'll ifhe'll do this and this and this.

(01:51):
And I walk in and I'm verycalm and like, hey, I don't
mean to bother you, but doyou mind? And he's like, no,
what can I do for you?Like what can I do for you?
Not you're bothering me, Mike,what what do you need? It
was what can I do for you? What can I do for you?
And I was like, Okay,this is a new experience. I like

(02:12):
this. How are you not araging lunatic every day? I didn't say
I wasn't. I didn't say maybesome of us are just better at hiding
it down. Absolutely couldn't be me. I have zero poker face. It
yours. I get irritated. It'svery clear that I am irritated. And
you're Okay, this is such aradio nerd talk Mojo would love this.

(02:34):
Everybody else is gonna hate it.I have never been to a studio setup
like yours. It makes zero sense. Your board doesn't make sense. I
don't understand how you operate a radiostation when it it, it makes doesn't
make sense. It makes sense toengineers is how it works. And there's
a setting and I'm supposed to beable to just hit the setting and it's

(02:54):
supposed to work. There are peoplein our comments saying saying, I'm on
your Live now, Mike, andcan't hear you or her? Uh unplug
and just unmute yourself. All right, all right, you know what you

(03:17):
get. What you get, youdon't throw a fit. That's right,
That is correct. Okay, Soyeah, that is my every day.
That is my every day. Sowhen somebody's like a year off the air,
I'm like, I know, butI have to call an engineer.
Which they're great. He's very goodat his job. He's able to not
only do it from home, buthe's able to. But if you have

(03:38):
a situation where you needed a guyin studio, he's there maybe a day
or two a week, and thenoutside of that, I am supposed to
call our big corporate company and andand try to work it out through that
way, which is enough, takefour hours back. I know, I
know, Bargel, you're, withouta doubt, the calmst person I must

(03:58):
have ever met in my entire life. Because this is your this is your
day to day dude. Yeah,I know I should. I Uh.
That's why when everybody's like, howare you driving back and forth? Three
hours? Well? Where do youthink I get the rage out? I
spend three hours? Uh? Andthen they're like, well, you want
to drive three hours to go tothe Detroit studios. Well it's look at

(04:18):
it. Look at the gloriousness ofI did. All I had to do
was walk into another room and go, hey, could you do you mind?
Do you mind? If it's notan inconvenience to you, would it
be okay if you like connect us? And he's like, oh my gosh,
yes, whatever you need, it'sso fine. I was like,
do I need to call the otherengineer? You' say no, no,
I got this figured it out intwo seconds. And I know it's not

(04:42):
even noon, and I really needsome alcohol. I know. I wish
I had something there too. Iwish I had drinks in there for you
or something. I should have leftsomething in there, But I gotta tell
you. It's nice here. You'reliving large. Here, you're living large.
I I did you see what Iposted on Instagram today to Mike.
Now yet, here's okay, We'rejust gonna talk about our buildings. I

(05:05):
know that we had a plan goinginto this. I'm taking over. I'd
love to know what the average gapdistances and your stall doors in the men's
restrooms here the thick, but they'resuper thick. I put my thumb up
to the gap in the women's restroomand it's nearly the length of my entire
thumb, tip of the nail tolike the knuckle where my palm is.

(05:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, the gapin the stall door. I could see
the entire sink as I was sittingthere. Yes, And the beauty of
it is is when somebody walks inand they feel like that's an invitation to
have a conversation with you. Youjust saw everything in my downstairs. I'm
not talking to you right now.I'm pretending like this doesn't even exist.
The best it has your brother,I know your brother is back in the

(05:50):
studio. To have him go intothe men's restroom in our building and look
at the urinal in the building likeit it's for a child, Like it's
one, well it's not even afloor one, it's like a little one
that's like this far off of theground, like I'm doing like a foot
off the ground. And it's fora child. Now it works for me

(06:12):
because I'm a short guy, butI'm the only short guy in the building.
So it's like children's it's like achild's urinal, and there are no
children in this building. Okay.I sat down or go to the bathroom
or the show today and I literallywent, what's what's the point of the
walls and doors? Yeah? Ifthe GAP's of this big, we might
as well just have three open toiletsin here, Like, what is what

(06:33):
is the point? There's no privacy, This basically eye contact. A second
somebody walks in, opens up,and I'm literally looking at the person in
the door. Is your goot?Is your set up to or I've never
been in the women's bathroom in ourown building, but is it set up
where the stalls are looking at themirror too? So if you were standing
in front of the mirror, you'reforced to look at the at that gap.

(06:57):
Yeah okay, oh oh oh ohoh, what is happening? This
truly is like the weirdest experience inthe world I know. And everybody's like,
Mike, Like, there were timeswhere we're like, Mike, You're
uh, You're so on edge allthe time? What is are you okay?
Is everything okay? That's my dayto day? Oh, Mike.

(07:20):
I will defend you to the endsof the world. Mike, Mike,
where's your hair? Mike, wheredid all your hair go? Wow?
Seventeen years in the building? That'slike that. It literally started and you
and I were joking about this beforethe podcast even started. I had the
first segment of the day, whichis never good when you're out of the
studio. No, let's start theshow by testing a theory if this is

(07:43):
gonna work or not? And uh, I had some technical issues here in
the studio, And my favorite partof it was Mojo was like, let's
just keep on pushing through and keepdoing it. I'm like, we we
can't. So my day started withthat and has turned into just the most
interesting experience I've had at a dayat work. And the fact that I,
Michael, I thought my life wasI thought I thought my day to

(08:11):
day was stressful, And I'm sosorry for you, but like this is
going to change me in a wayI can't explain. It's the trauma.
It's the trauma that will really makeyou respect the studio that you're in.
Now this wow, just you knowwhat, Run up a plus from Mike,
friend, I don't see any holesin the wall, so run up

(08:31):
a plause for you. And youhaven't stopped your way through the floor yet,
like I definitely would have now,and people still make you're nice and
I would be a raging bitch,So I like, prosty you my dude.
Yeah, sure, thanks, Yeah, I appreciate that. If that
genuinely came off as sarcastic, Imet every effing word of that, well,

(08:56):
well please scream it louder for thepeople's the four people in the hall,
if you could. I swear toGod, Mike, if anybody brings
up anything ever, I will throwfist. And I was, and I
wish everybody could see it, becausethat makes more It makes more sense when
I say things like, uh,who used my dude wipes? Like I
can't even have dude wipes in thebuilding without some asshole using my dude It

(09:20):
makes sense when I go, howdo I have an office? That's in
a closet like I can't. Yeah, yeah, it makes more, that's
what, you know what everybody shouldexperience it because truly, I think everybody
from the show, Oh we havethe institute this, everybody from the show
should have to come work. Soif I yeah, so by themselves,

(09:41):
not with like a group of peoplethat can help them. By themselves every
day and then stare at the wallwhile trying to figure things out and looking
there's a sheet of phone numbers onthere. You even had somebody in there
with you, and it was stillchaos. Oh, absolute chaos. I
don't know how much money you make, but I do know it's not enough.

(10:01):
You could shout that in the hallsas well, and then but one,
one person at a time each andthen everything I complained about in the
office from now on it will beyes, so valid, It is so
valid. Like if I complained thatI don't want you know, he's not
there in the building anymore, Butif I don't want the country guy to
walk in and start having a conversationabout my poops in that moment, bro,

(10:24):
Do you want to know how manypeople walked in during the show today,
Oh, quite a few, alldifferent levels of management. There was
some people that walked in and Iwas like, oh, we just we
just chat, we just stop itfor a hut. Yeah, I'm where
the light was on air let onon air lets. I laughed when I

(10:50):
first came to the building. Thisis such a behind the scenes nerd thing.
But I walked into the studio hereand I was the first one in,
and I saw like seven signs onthe door and there's like a red
stout sign and a check to seethe lights on and please don't just walk
in. And then this upened apick and I'm working, Like, just
because there's not other people in theroom doesn't be I'm not work. I'm

(11:11):
working. I was like, thisis excessive. Four people walked un during
the show. You guys think I'mmake it up? Do you think I
exaggerate? You're like, what isMike doing? What is Mike doing?
And somehow I don't drive off acliff oh oh oh that literally you can
sense my anger by the fact thatI can't even form a sentence and it's

(11:33):
just oh, but at least onthe plus side, because that's what I
have to do. I have tofind the positive, not me at least
you have to see bosses, right, I'm assuming you have to see bosses,
good, good, good, goodgood things to say. I'm assuming
yes, after they realized who Iwas, because at first there was confusion
of what are you doing in thebuilding, and then UH said, oh,

(11:54):
thank you for letting me work foryou this morning, and then I
think they made the connection of whoI was. I was like, oh,
I was like, you didn't knowwho I was ten seconds ago,
So okay, So now when Itell you, there's church music playing in
my fucking ear right now, andthat is wild, and the whole studio

(12:15):
is like, Mike, we don'thear anything. Mike, are you going
crazy? Mike? Are you okay? Now? You know I'm not making
shit up? Oh? We Youand I were talking and literally out of
nowhere, I thought, genuinely,because I'm on the very precipice of a
mental breakdown at most most time points, right like, if we're look at
any date and time over the pastfive years, point to it on a

(12:35):
calendar, pretty close to falling offthe edge. While I was sitting here
trying aggressively trying to figure out howto connect and fix all of our problems,
with zero help. All of asudden, I just started hearing I
was like, what what is this? This is the moment, this is
the moment I started hearing voices.This is this. I've actually fallen off

(13:01):
the edge of the cliff. Herewe are and I was like, what
is that? Mark? And You'relike what is what? Which? By
the way, sorry that you're toput up with me, But that was
the only word I could use iswild. That was so wild. And
I was like, there's like thisopera I don't there's a man singing in
my headphones, like, yep,that's the other station. That just it's

(13:22):
it's not even a station in ourbuilding. It's not even a a on
it. I don't even think it'san on air station. I think it's
an Internet only station. And somehowI've complained, Megan, I've complained.
I've sent emails, We talked aboutit on the air, and the engineers
are like, they listen to it. Everybody has heard it faintly, faintly

(13:46):
because it's like a faint sound.Sometimes it's really really really quiet, and
you can still hear it, andyou can hear people like doing sermons,
and I'm like, so thrown offby it at times, and they're like,
yeah, that's just some thing feedingover. There's really nothing we can
do. There's what So I haveto now try to talk on the air

(14:07):
in a studio That works some mostof the time for like I can make
it. I can get us onthe air and sometimes talk coherently on the
air. That's where I'm at rightnow. Okay, that is, honest
to god, that's a triathlon atthis point. So like, congratulations to
you for getting to that point.It's truly baffled. Okay, I try.

(14:30):
This is okay all right here,and it's not like it's you know,
the White House Press correspondence dinner.Do you know what that is?
Yes? Yeah, yeah, Okay. Do you remember when President Obama was
the I almost sid reigning president.When he was the raining president, they
had Keing and Michael Key come inand be his anger voice. Yes,
yeah, the angry Obama voice.Yep. I would love for in the

(14:54):
future when you have a problem thatyou call me and I will be your
key and Michael King okay, becauseyou're too nice to people and I but
it get fired from here, right, I will. But here's the thing.
It would be one thing if Iwas, because I'm not. They're
like I just told you. Ican't name specifically who it was, but

(15:16):
I told you one time where aguy in the building started talking to people
like a dick, and I hadto be like, you can't talk to
people like that. I realized,your job's important, but you can't talk
to people like that. That wasthe first thing. Second, it's not
that I'm not saying anything. I'vecomplained. I've written emails, I've The
only reason the headphone Jack's even gotfixed is because I told them people were

(15:41):
coming in and I didn't say itwasn't the entire morning show. I had
to go, it's the morning showand they're coming in. I didn't even
say, well, it's Meggan's.We only need one. They fixed everything,
but it took. You know howmany times I've complained about that,
about the heat, about the theshit you're here. I've complained. It's
not that I haven't said anything.Welcome, Welcome the Angertown Yeah population,

(16:07):
Megan Yeah, representing Mike, andI am here to profence. I think
that's the route I'm gonna go through. Is first you get angry and you
start doing the yelling. But whatI've had to do at times, and
it's worked is we'll talk about itin the air and then Mojo will jump
in and say something, and thenwhen Mojo says it, it gets taken
care of. It's fixed almost immediately. I do too, Ins said,

(16:30):
I listened to fucking church music allday. I don't have that power,
but I do have the power tothrow a fit, and nobody here can
fire me. They can expose otherpeople to do it, but they can't.
So I like that. I'll burnbridges you. I will burn every
bridge for you. What they alreadyOkay, more behind the scenes too,

(16:51):
because I'm just letting it rattle.I used to work for stations here.
I used to bosses here. Ino longer do. The bridge is already
burned. He fired me once Igot that's my god, that's right.
Somebody even conditive, Just like whenMike had his microphone broken for two days

(17:14):
and it was just just sitting therehere. It was just sitting, Yeah,
it was just hanging there. Nobodysaid anything. I sent it I
have. It's not like I don'tneed to do this, but I've sent
the emails, I've reached and you'veseen the people in the building. They're
not there. It's non existent.Oh Michael, Oh, Michael, I

(17:34):
think they Oh God, you needto just preach. Tell everyone, Tell
everybody. Go back and tell everybodywhat you've seen today. Tell the people
of my of my conditions. Tellthe world, Tell the That's why.
That's why. I mean, notonly do I love coming to Detroit,
obviously because I get to be witheverybody. It's such a when the show's

(17:56):
together. It is so much morefun when we're all in the same room.
It's just a different vibe. Youget a feeling of camaraderie. And
also like a show like Balance Is, It's just great. Yep. I
love breaking and entering, Like that'smy favorite thing that we do. The
absolute favorite thing is Dope Shine init too. Well, sure, I
think it's a team thing still,but I it's it's my favorite thing in

(18:19):
the entire world that we do asa radio station and as a show.
And but it's also like I getto go to a studio that works.
I get to go to if Ihad to go get an engineer, I
had to go to an engineer.I just Mark, who is who looks
like Sanna. He's so nice.He's so nice. That's Randy though,

(18:40):
but oh who's Randy? My bad, damn it. But I'll tell you
right now. It's okay. Really, it's okay. He's the nicest guy
in the world. He'd be like, you can go whatever, it's nice.
Yeah. Here's the thing. Istarted working in deterring run rapids and
at the time, I'm spelling allthe too. Today I do not care.

(19:00):
I'm angry. At the time,I went back to Toledo and everybody
in Toledo was complaining about stuff,and I was like, let me,
let me I've been in the trenches. Let me tell you. We are
blessed to have working equipment and peoplewho care. You've seen what's on the
other side and it is terrifying.Literally, my boss at the time was

(19:21):
like, thank you for like speakingof for us. I was like,
oh my god. People don't realize, like we have we have it good,
we have it so good, sogood. Yeah. No, I
think. I think I think everybodyshould have to spend a day and everybody
else's shoes. Yes, I agreefor everybody is like everybody needs to do
the dirties one day. I thinkeverybody needs to run the phone lines,

(19:48):
everybody needs to do the podcasting,everybody needs to everything, because I opened
it and so much more in thepast eight hours that I have in my
full sixty thousand dollars education a collegelevel. Today you have lived, Megan

(20:10):
Mick. Today, you have lived. I don't want to it. Oh,
it's honestly, it's not bad oncethere is an engineer there, But
right now, right now, it'syou're you're out a day, which it's
kind of nice because you do getto experience it when it's when Mojo's like,
well, why aren't you guys onthe air, And I'm like,

(20:30):
I don't know, I don't know, I have no idea. I'm trying
pushing buttons. Yeah, it's truly, that's a very good point. It
really was like every bad case scenariostacked up today, like every everything that
could have made today worse. Thatdoor was open. Yeah, oh yeah,
yeah, oh for sure. Soabsolutely, am I being am I

(20:56):
being dramatic about this? Is itme? Me? Yeah? Probably?
But truly if this was like alike a regular basis thing. And I
think also I come from the perspectiveof working in an area where most of
my coworkers don't understand the things thatI am experiencing on a database basis that
it's like it's it's an healthy doseof everybody's going through something. Yeah,

(21:26):
oh yeah, yeah, yeah,for sure, for sure. So I
really just wanted to let you knowI appreciate you. I think you're safe
because I would love to learn yourpatience because I have none anymore. I
had some this morning, then Irealized today when I was looking for more

(21:48):
of it in my purse. Umemos bominos. Yes, but let's go,
so I will. Oh you know, I've also come to the conclusion
I will no longer be trying tosteal your wife. I don't think that's
fair to put onto you. You'vegot a lot on your plate, and

(22:08):
I will I'll back off, respectfully, I do. I bow out of
this fight for your wife. She'sstill gonna be my best friend, but
I will no longer try to makeher my own wife. She has a
gift for you, by the waythat she found she I can't tell you
what it is, but it hasto do with Dick and you're gonna like

(22:29):
it. Yeah, So I'll takethat off your plate. And if you
really got hurt today, you havereally scorn today. I'm sorry. It's
not that bad. It's really notIt's really you love a good dramatic It's
nice to get it all out.And uh, let me know if there's
anything to help you in the future. Please please let me know what I

(22:53):
can do for you. Just youjust share with the world what you've seen
today, what you've seen in herand today, so that so that when
I complained about something in the studioand somebody goes, Mike, you're just
you're being a little triman, You'rebeing a little too much. Mike.
I just need you to go thefuck I am. I just want you
to know, as soon as Iconceded all of it, the church music

(23:17):
didn't starting out of my head,boots, and it ain't truly I'm coming
to crist like she's realized her wickedand has found the lights of compassion.
Well, for today, for atleast the next twenty four hours, you're
good. Oh my god, Iuh yeah, I yeah. I probably

(23:38):
won't remember this lesson long, butfor right now, for the next twenty
four hours, at least, allI all I need, all I need,
this is, this is all Iask, is that when you hear
me complain about something in the officeor anything in the studio or anything that's
happened during the show in the building. I just need you to go.
And he's probably he's probably fucking tellingthe truth. He's probably it's probably that,

(24:00):
it's probably that to be fair,to be fair, I've always thought
that. Now I will just bevery vocal on your behalf. Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep. You're like
a kid that's said some shit.You're like a kid that went from like
this innocent child who like still playsmighty more from Power Rangers. So like

(24:22):
you saw your first naked person andyou're like, I'm a changed human today.
Yeah. I don't know if todaywas my like adult bat mitzvah.
I don't know. Uh, Like, have you you've seen the Harry Potter
movies, right, yes, youremember when Harry goes from not seeing the
festals just seeing the festals. That'sit's you today, it's me. It's

(24:45):
growing fair. You know what?You know the worst part about all of
this, all right, I reallywill stop ranting. No, you're fine.
The worst part about all of thisis I learned so much about myself
that I didn't like and how Ireact new situations. I today was a
hard life lesson and I you alsoyou also to be fair to give you

(25:10):
a little credit. It should haveworked easily. You had somebody else in
there who I love, the guyto death should have been able to assist
right away or talk to somebody thatcould assist right away. And it sounds
like it didn't go exactly as itshould have. And he's also like an
overly anxious guy at heart, butI love him. I just kind of

(25:32):
the world. I wasn't even talkingabout that. That's not even on my
radar. That's how little that momentmeant to me. I mean, like
just just I feel like a dumberperson because I thought I knew how stuff
worked and gradted. I'm not ina space where I know how things work
right, Like, this is notmy space. This is not like what

(25:52):
I work with on a regular basis. But I thought, I've been doing
this for thirteen years. I knowhow to board works. I can figure
this out. Nope, I gotI got humbled real hard today because you
know how they say it's like tenthousand hours or ten years, and yeah,
yeah, you guys, thirteen yearsI'm definitely a professional. And then
I got behind this. I waslike, I have no idea what I'm

(26:12):
doing life. It is really hot. I just honestly, but you were
given the worst case scenarios. Thereare things that are broken in every studio,
but it depends on how there youhad nobody in the building. All
you could have is somebody technically overthe phone or over a computer really fixed

(26:32):
something. And it was nothing thatthey could do at that moment. But
I'm glad you enjoyed your time andmy god, so happy to be here.
It won't happen again. That'll bethe only time that it'll be like
that. I promise you I'll bethere next time, and then it'll be

(26:53):
you started your head against the longI, like I said, all I
need when I start saying some stuffabout the office as you to go.
No, he's probably he's probably,he's probably telling the truth. You know
how We were on the Mudge inthe Morning show today talking about Share and
her new song. I'm offended nobodyasked me what my favorite Share song was,

(27:15):
but it fits perfectly this podcast andwhat you just asked for, and
it's I got you big, butI you are the sunny to my share,
and from here on out, Igot you, and I got you.
I got you minus the trees andskiing thing. Yes, I agree

(27:37):
with that. Trees and skiing didn'tsunny bonell get in a skiing accident.
We'll move past that. That wasn'tmy favorite thing I ever said. That
wasn't my favorite soon still, let'ssee the five things you need to know.
I don't even want to get it. I didn't want to get into
a topic. Let's just I feellike that's enough. I ranted so long

(27:59):
my computer, we walked out.Okay, uh um, book, Oh
that's not my p I almost justtold you while I was typing it is.
Okay, So it starts with thesixth, and then after that is
a four and then I can't rememberthe rest. All right, Uh numb

(28:25):
book. I love that. Istill, after all this time, have
not gotten the recording since that.So you're absolutely welcome. Is it here?
Are they here? Uh? Nope? Nope? Okay, I could
easily get them. I haven't.All right. That was on me.
You know what, I've got yourback today. That was on me.

(28:48):
That five Bradley Cooper was doing theHoward Stern show yesterday, and I thought
this was absolutely hysterical because I thinkit'll be pretty clear if you've seen Silver
Linings Playbook. But do you knowwhat Bradley Cooper's favorite football teams? The
Eagles, Eagles, And that's reallife, Like that is truly based on

(29:11):
his real life. And he wasasked yesterday if you would rather win an
Academy Award for himself or have theEagles win a super Bowl, and Bradley
Cooper straight up without hesitating, likewithin a second, said Eagle super Bowl

(29:32):
immediately. Mike, you were thefirst person I thought of, because I'm
like, I'm pretty sure he'd giveup a kid for a Lion super Bowl.
Yeah, the new one. AndI don't know him that well.
I don't know so bad. Hecould go. I know the other two
pretty well. It'd be tough.It'd be tough, but like light mode,
light mode, Mike can Uh,yeah, I'd probably do that for

(29:55):
the line super Bowl. Oh forsure, for sure. I mean if
you ask me to murder my brother, she would be off the table.
Isn't he right there behind you?He is in the room. Uh no
bluff. Tiffany Hattish, we talkedabout her a little bit earlier this week
getting another dui. Uh. She'sfound asleep at her wheel last week after

(30:17):
performing at the laugh Factory. Sheobjeked at the time that she had been
praying to God for a man withthe job, a career, prefermably in
uniform right before that incident. Remember, she also had that arrest back in
twenty twenty two for an alleged UIas well. Well, she's coming out
today and she's saying this is nevergoing to happen again, which right,
mate, But she is saying thatshe's gonna start making positive changes in her

(30:41):
life. She says, I'm goingto get some help so I can learn
balance and boundaries. I mean,at this point, how don't you made
it of wanting just to get Idon't know driver. That was the literally
the first thing that popped in myhead was why why is somebody who's rich
and famous like that? Why doyou? Why are you driving at all?
I'm like, uber, yah,I don't even we even need a

(31:02):
private Yes, why are you driving? That? Stuff makes me so angry?
Uh number three three? Uh thankyou yep uh Nick even nice.
She was apparently taken by surprise becauseshe heard that her new Fragrance Pink Friday
to the Path that was actually alreadyon sale and she didn't know about it,

(31:26):
which I think is absolutely hysterical.She revealed on Twitter that she didn't
know the launch was happening earlier inthe week, saying I had no idea,
was informed of nothing, didn't geta link to post, just woke
up one day at boom uh.Despite it being an unplanned debut, the
bobs really did show up because thatFraguence Fragrance, not Fragments, actually quickly

(31:47):
sold out a Jersey Penny, whichis where it was being sold. So
I think that that's actually hysterical.It wasn't supposed to go on sale for
another couple of weeks, and I'mwondering, did j C. Penny just
what it out? Yeah, itsounds like it. Does somebody get fired
over that? Or you're like,oh, thank you that at this point
she's still making money on it,right, No, No, she's still

(32:09):
making the money. I mean,I'm sure that was just like a contract
they signed ahead of time before theyeven went on shelf. I'm sure she
was paid up front. Do youthink, oh, oh, so she's
not even getting a cut of whatit will, because I would say if
if she was getting a cut ofit, like a percentage, that releasing
it before like the release date couldhurt Yes, yeah, yeah, it

(32:30):
could actually hurt the sound. Butif she's already made money, then who
cares? Yeah? Right, LikeI didn't even have to work for this,
and I still name my mother soldsold, sold every day of the
week. That sounds like a windybut I do think it's very funny to
just be like, oh, myproducts will know like cat me go go
meet? Uh? You know whoI actually want to be in my next

(32:51):
life more than anybody? Oh?Wait, no, I'm awful? Three
three three? Are we cutting down? Or I forgot? I don't know
the next story? You were atfour last times? So I just geez,
I have two stories left. Idon't know what we're two stories left.

(33:15):
Jesus Christ, pop bag of myphone space. I need you?
Okay? Do you know who Iwant to be more than anybody else on
this planet? And this is honestlyvery true. I don't know know who
Guy Fury? You do love him? I have a Guy Fury outfit.

(33:36):
I love him? Okay, sofun side side quest really quickly when I
went on that cruise. There wasa guy Fiery restaurant, which I'm sure
he was very much involved with anddidn't just slap his name on. But
I will tell you speaking a slapin those burgers. They Yeah, they
were so good. Does he reallyhate side note? Does he really have

(33:57):
good food? I thought it wasjust a gimmicks food really good? He
has a deal with the cruise line, so it was like god, Ye's
burg bar and I went there andit was like genuinely, well, I
don't hold on, let me tryto get my brother's attention. Sean Guy
Fiori's Burger joined on that cruise slapsreally good. Okay, okay, okay,
okay. So here's the story thatI was actually supposed to talk to

(34:20):
you. I'm interested. I've neverbeen. He pens a new three year
deal with Food Network. Okay,and he is holding of the Monday.
This is going to make you puke. And he deserves every single dollar because
I love him, But uh,for three years, how much do you
think he's getting paid for the entirerestaurant. I don't know, no,

(34:44):
no, no, for the FoodNetwork. It's like diners, drive ins,
and dives. He's got he's gonnabe here. He's been with the
network for twenty eight years, orby the end of this contract it will
be twenty years. He's got guys, grocery games and tournamental champions. He's
going to develop new projects through hisKnuckle Sandwich production company. So he's he's
doing a lot for the network.So are you when you're having me guests?

(35:06):
Are you having me? Guess?Because it's a lot, and I'm
not gonna believe it. Yeah,that's so much money, it's not even
funny. Okay, then I'm threeyears for three years if it's a lot,
a lot, maybe close to twentymillion. Oh, Mike, you're
not You're literally not even closed.Are you serious? Oh? It is
so much more money than my head? What? Oh it is for three

(35:29):
years? Let me tell you.He's coming out of a contract that he
signed in twenty twenty one for eightymillion dollars and it's more. Holy shit,
Holy wow, that's amazing. Goodfor him. He just signed a
three year deal for around one hundredmillion dollars. Good run, Yeah,

(35:49):
run of a plausber guy here wouldhave there's a lot. He is a
mystery to me. He is abecause you look at the guy, and
I'm like, there's no way hisfood's good. You tell me, food's
amazing. You look at the guy, You're like, he's probably doing pretty
well at like festivals, like likecarnivals and stuff. He's probably got maybe
he sell some T shirts, maybeyou know, one hundred million dollars.

(36:12):
And that's just the Food Network deal. Holy shit, that's that restaurants.
That is not like his naming rightsand stuff. That is not any kind
of food deals that yet, thatis strictly Food Network television money. Good
for him, right, holy cowman? And apparently he's just like super
cool. I believe it. Hedoes seem like really cool dude. Yeah,

(36:37):
I eat burgers for a living andshow off small businesses and get paid
one hundred million dollars. Life isgood. Yeah, man, he does.
Yeah, he really does have itmade insane insane. And then the
last one I've got for you,number I'm doing five for one. One
you countdown. I'm sorry, whywould you start with number one? I
don't know one Jesus, I wasso stupid. Okay, let's talk about

(37:06):
the Chicago Blackhawks player. I'm specificallydoing this because my brother's in the room,
and he grew up a hockey guy. And I think he's gonna laugh
at the story, and I'd loveto hear what he thinks. But their
GM, the black Hawks GM isaddressing the rumors surrounding Corey Perry shortly after
he was booted from the team,saying that his contract termination did not and

(37:27):
I say this like works, Itdid not have anything to do with Connor
Badar's mother. I'm kind with youon So, Perry was placed on unconditional
waivers after an internal investigation happened onTuesday. The team determined that he engaged
in conduct that is unacceptable. Itviolated both the terms of his contract with

(37:49):
the NHL and the Blackhawks internal policies. Now this was all after there was
all of those internet rumors that hewas sleeping with one of his teammates,
moms. Now his teammate is eighteen. He's thirty eight. So guess what,
he and mom pretty close to bein the same age. And mom
is smoke good. Yeah, ifhe wasn't doing her, he's failing.

(38:12):
Okay, Yeah, contract rules,she's smoking hot. Okay. Okay,
this you said break contract rules?Does that mean that there was something in
the contract for all players that saysyou cannot sleep with another person's relative.
I'm sure there is, but theGM is like not saying that. It's

(38:32):
put it out what the GM isnot saying that this is what this is
about. But this does not involveany players or their families, and anything
that suggests otherwise, or anyone thatsuggests otherwise, is wildly inaccurate, and
frankly, it's disgusting. Coma butt. The problem is they wouldn't say why
he was just terminated for breaking theserules. So the other suspicion is,

(38:54):
if it wasn't his teammate's mom,it was probably an employee of the Blackhawks.
Okay, that one is probably inthe that's fun. Yeah, that
one's probably in the contract. Butif it's if it's that he slept with
the mom, and there is anactual line in his contract that says you
cannot do this, that is fuckinghilarious because that means it has happened to

(39:17):
so many times that you've had toput it into a contract stating do not
do this right. And also,I really hope he banged his mom.
I really really do, like notlike I feel bad for the genuinely I
feel bad for the kids, sobad that he's eighteen years old, went
straight to the NHL and that wasmaking millions of dollars game brill living.

(39:37):
Yeah, well, okay, firstof all, he's attractive, and let's
not act like his job isn't gonnaget him late. But guess what,
Mom still got it. Yeah,Mom still got it. Not only does
she have not only does she havea hockey year one hundred percent right,
not only does she have a hockeyson, she created a hockey professional hockey
player son. She's also banging aprofessional hockey player. By the way,

(39:59):
if you don't know much about highthis kid, this eighteen year old kid,
he's supposed to be the Michael Jordan'slike the next Michael Jordan hockey.
Like he's supposed to be the nextcoming of christ On Ice. Oh I
like that. I like that.Oh my god, I've heard of marketing.
But like I don't. I don'treally feel bad for you. I
don't feel bad that you're smoking hot. Mom was being in a professional aanda

(40:21):
making millions of dollars. None ofit, none of it's bad. I
mean, she wasn't cheating, right, and he wasn't cheating right. I
actually don't know. But if that'sthe case, and you tour a part
of my family made okay, okaymaybe, but you know how you get
over stuff like that, the millionsand millions of dollars that you have.
Yeah, yeah, you dry yourtears with it, and you go to

(40:43):
the little therapy with your with yourmillions and billions of dollars, and you
call it a day. You'll beokay, You're gonna be fine. You're
gonna be fine. And I'm sureas a professional athlete, you're gonna be
very loyal to your partners in thefuture. Sure, sure, sure,
sure, as history has taught us, those are the five things you need

(41:08):
to know here the Slightly Messy Show. You have the buttons. Okay,
but I don't know which one itis, just hit one of the ones
that say eminem that is in theintro. Oh got it? Okay,
