double U M M.
Speaker 8 (00:48):
A hey, what's going on? Good afternoon, Good afternoon. Welcome
(01:11):
He didn't Coleman in Venez, I always trying to channel
the great Madeline Khan, the late great Madeline Kahn in
the film Blazing Saddles. What was her name? Lily von
Stuck yep? Then come in the in the New God.
(01:31):
Everybody in that movie's dead, aren't they? Melon Brooks is
still alive. That everyone in that film is dead. Harvey
Korman gone, Madeline Kahn gone, Gene Wilder gone. Is Terry
gar still alive or did we miss? Did am I
misremembering the Terry Gard Dyed? I want to say I
thought Terry Gard Dyed no longer with us. She died
last Halloween. He had seventy nine. Everyone from that film
(01:54):
is gone. Peter Boyle is gone. How iron not ironic,
but how age wise that mel Brooks is still alive.
Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman. I just finished the Marty Feldman biography.
Madeline Cohn is gone. The dude that played the sheriff
died a long time ago, right, like he died in
(02:16):
the nineties or something again, Mars. He was like a
character actor. No, no, he played played the sheriff. Oh
Headley Headley Lamar, Yeah, Harvey Corman. My algorithm feeds me
all kinds of Carol Burnett show clips where it's like
Harvey Korman and Tim Conway, the Pride of I was.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Talking about Bart for the one, the lead Bart, the
new Sheriff. He's been a long time, wrong time. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
Only other movie I remember him from was by the Way,
I'm I'm talking about Blazing Saddles. But I'm thinking young Frankenstein.
I'm sorry, but a lot of those people were still
in it, right. Alex Carris, I think he's dead.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
He was Mango.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
Alex Carris died. Yeah, back in twenty twelve. Clevon Little,
I remember him in Fletch Lives in the Fletch sequel.
It was on Little, remember that. Yes, Levan Little died
in ninety two. Okay, yeah, I knew it was a
long time ago. Yep, from Chickasaw, Oklahoma, died of colon
cancer at his home in LA in nineteen ninety two. Anyway,
(03:18):
Lily von Stook from Blazing Saddles and she would say
Vin Coleman, the Venue, that whole thing. But yeah, it's crazy,
and people go, well, Alan, that movie was a long
long time ago.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Yeah, but for everyone to be dead except the guy
that you thought would have been dead by now.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
The guy who's one hundred years old, you know, or
he'll be one. He's ninety nine, he'll be one hundred
next summer. His birthdays a few days after mine. You know,
outlived his good buddy Carl Reiner. You know, we talk
about old celebrities here all the time, just because it
really is kind of just because you're rich and famous,
it doesn't mean you're going to live longer.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Right, you can still get some afflictions.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
You might have a little bit of an edge and
that you have the financial means to maybe offset those things.
But if something's gonna get you, it's gonna get you.
It doesn't really matter. You know, famous people are gonna
die just as just as easily as as non famous people.
But for a guy like that to have, you know,
outlived his his peers and his friends in Norman Lear
(04:17):
passed away, and it's you know, you know, you might
remember an actor named John Hillerman was in Blazing Saddles, right,
he played Howard Johnson in that film, and gen X
kids remember him as playing Higgins on a show called
Magnum Private Investigator.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And of course he did a fake British accent.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
But yeah, all these people that maybe at the time
you might have remembered by face but maybe didn't know
their names. But again, my algorithm feeds me all of
these like crack up clips of Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.
And I've had Carol Burnett on this show before, and
I can count over the course of my thirty plus
career on one hand of the people that I was
(05:00):
fan boying so hard for that I had a bit
of a difficult time kind of getting my head straight.
And Carol Burnett is one of those people two a
lot of you know, people of maybe a younger generation.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
That name means nothing.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
But she's actually currently on a show. She's on a
show over there an apple called Palm Royal, which I'm
not watching. It's a Kristin Wig show that people say
is very funny, but it's not really anything that I
would be into. But Carol Burnett is on that show still,
and she's like a secret weapon there. And so when
you look at somebody like mel Brooks who's ninety nine
years old, and then you know, you when you get
to a certain point, you start doing the math, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was talking to my daughter, my nine year old,
and she we were talking about how we had the.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
My wife and I had dressed is the Shining Twins
one more time for this party that we went to
at Halloween. It was a last minute to invitation and
so we were like, well, we could do this again.
We did it fifteen years ago and posted some photos
of the time. We both it's the.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Joke is that I'm wearing a dress and blah blah blah.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
But and my wife goes, you think you'll do it
again in fifteen years when you're seventy, and I go,
oh my god, literally, I mean literally, I sat there
mouth agape. I mean I if I had lived on
a higher tract of land, Rob, I would have jumped
(06:22):
off the roof right at that point, because this you know,
we're one month away from our last live show of
twenty twenty five, okay, at which point, literally the last
live show of this year will be my anniversary December
sixteenths Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That will be my sixteenth anniversary at WMMS.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Rob.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Nobody saw it coming. But in that you know that
time span again, seventy years old. I'll be fifty five
next summer. So the last round think that I was
trying not to until because people are like, now that's
just fifteen years.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I go, yeah, yeah, that goes by so fast. Fifteen
years goes by so fast. So yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
When it was when it was mentioned out loud in
such a stark relief to me, right, I was like,
oh my god, what.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Do I do?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Yeah, all and everybody else as I'm young at thirty three,
but apparently nineteen ninety two is a long time ago.
Well it was. It was a what holds Wolfe van Hale?
By the way, Wolfe van Halen's coming in here?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yep?
Speaker 10 (07:33):
Hold?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Is he He's not thirty yet?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Is he?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Let me look?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
I think he might be thirty thirty. I guess I
could ask him. You could when he comes in, or
he could ask me, who was horribly unprepared to answer
that question, because well, but still, Wolfgang van Halen is
thirty four years old.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
He's thirty four years older. Ally on March sixteenth, nineteen
ninety one, thank you pell uh. He is in town
a day early in fact, to come say hi to us.
Mammoth and Miles Kennedy are going to be at the
Agora tomorrow night. We gave away a bunch of tickets
for it.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
I don't know if there are any remaining, but we
had Mammoth in for We were like, let's get this
big band because they play theaters and arenas and stuff,
and throw them in a small venue. And so when
the Foundry, which for many years was in Lakewood, one
of my favorite clubs still is, by the way, because
the bulk of a lot of the just brutal metal shows.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I go to see you at the Foundry.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
They were in Lakewood for a long time, and then
they moved over to Brooklyn and we had a show
with Mammoth there. It was like a WMMS listener event
YEP last Spring Sonic Temple Weekend, and with Mammoth it
was a lot of fun, great time. And so they're
at the Agora tomorrow night, and we're gonna chat with
(08:43):
him briefly.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
When we come back, because he's a busy dude.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
But at least now, no Rob, I know now that
he is thirty four years old, and I'll go, hey,
in fifteen years, man, what I am when I turned
seventy seventy and year almost fifty Allan, will the show
advance in maturity in another sixteen years. I'm hoping that
it continues on the regressive path that I have set.
(09:10):
I've tried to not really be too overt about it,
but I hope that longtime listeners of this program realize
the show is regressing.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It is moving in an opposite direction from maturity.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Right.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
I have devoted my entire adult and professional life to
suspended adolescence, and so I can only hope to continue.
I'm trying to at least creatively Benjamin Button myself right.
So when they finally chew my ass up and spit
me out of this place, I'll have nothing left, nothing left.
(09:44):
I'll just wander the earth like Sam Jackson was going
to do in pulp fiction. Hopefully I'll have the same wallet.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
The Ellen Carr Show on one hundredfore best buy to
assist the machines. Dumb down your smartphone by listening to
this crap. It won't even remember how to tell time.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
For The Ellen Cork Show on one hundred point seven.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
Do WMMS two one six five seven eight one double
oh seven you want to join us live or eight
hundred three four eight one double oh seven. Let's send
me a text if you like three five one nine
(10:33):
two listen on iHeart Radio. You can watch on our
YouTube channel. If you were to do that, you would,
of course see the shining face of one Wolfgang van
Halen on your on your computer screen or your telephone.
Your video machine has been mammoths back in Cleveland on
(10:55):
the end tour.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Let's hope that's not prophetic.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Let's hold it keeps going as long as you want
it to Miles Kennedy on the bill as well.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
He's got to hop up with you at some point
right during the show.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
We got to figure that out. I was gonna say
that guy's too good. I mean, everybody involved is too good.
That really the show is tomorrow night. However, there are
a handful of tickets remaining. I would use the phrase
going quickly. He go to a Gore at Cleveland dot
com for the details on it. But it was not
that long ago. It was the last spring that you
guys did that Foundry show with us, And I'll still
(11:30):
run into people who were at that show who were,
like Jesus, So when we started talking about you guys
coming to the Agora and doing some tickets for that,
how old were you when you understood what your first
name meant? I think when I was like in kindergarten
or something.
Speaker 11 (11:47):
Was it like you had like I had like a
tape machine in my bedroom that had like Mozart La
La by It was it was that direct?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Because you know, no matter how unique
people think they're giving their kid a name, you give
it enough time and suddenly your kids in class with
five or six other Jaden's and cadence or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I can't imagine you were in class with any other wolfgangs.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
No, it's just you.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
Yeah, how old were you when you understood what your
last name was what that meant?
Speaker 11 (12:17):
Probably around kindergarten the same time that's when all the remasters,
you know, the first remasters came out on all the
CDs and everything, and so the boxes were at the
house and I was like, what's this and Dad would
show me in.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
But you're also a guy who's who Both parents were
quite quite prominent people still are, by the way. I
don't want to get off in a whole thing here,
but props to your mother for this whole Meghan Kelly thing.
Your mom, well, your mom is is your mom post?
Did you see what your mom posted? Okay, your mom's
in the news because you heard about this whole Meghan Kelly, Michigan.
(12:51):
As I'm thinking of it, I wanted to give props
to your mom. Hell yeah, because Meghan Kelly was contorting
herself in like circu de sile level type stuff to
make this distinction without a difference that will like well
technically trumps out a pedophile. Technically, these people aren't pedophiles.
(13:11):
Because these were teenage girls, not young girls, all right,
And so she took no small amount of heat for that.
Your mom an actress since she was could walk right
or shortly thereafter, your mom posted a photo of her
at fifteen years old and she said I was fifteen here,
(13:32):
I was a child.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And so your mom's in the news for that.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
And so I would say props to her because and
she didn't mention anyone. Your mom's super classy about it,
which is I assume how she conducts herself, and she
didn't mention anyone by name, but she made it very
very clear what was going on. And it really did
bring it into sharp focus as well, because again, you
know a lot of I'm a gen xer. I'm fifty
four years old, so it's like I grew up watching
(13:58):
your mom on television, you know what I mean. And so, yeah,
I saw that, and I assumed you would know, but
I guess you did not. Dude. I'd rarely go on
socials anymore unless I have why. I don't blame it.
It's remarkably freeing. I don't blame you. I tell people
I'm like whenever it's you know, all over for me
in this the lowest rung on the showbiz ladder.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Right when it's all over, I'm deleting everything.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
It's like if I'm on tour, Yeah, I gotta check
and stuff. But usually it's just you know, I pop
in once or twice a day and I'm I'm like.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
Is it over yet? Is the world over?
Speaker 12 (14:31):
Well?
Speaker 8 (14:32):
It's also spo Yeah, it's also kind of and I
kind of tell people, I go, you do curate your
own experience, like you can't have a lot of fun
with this stuff, right. A lot of people though, that's
not enough for them, and so you know, being mad
is what makes money for the companies, or it really
really does.
Speaker 11 (14:51):
So yeah, you know, it's just getting off of it
is a is very very nice. You're a married guy, now,
how is that going wonderful?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Do you have a wild or no? Is that in
the Is that part of the plan?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Is there?
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 8 (15:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Maybe?
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Yeah, Well, because I'm always amazed at the people who
get married and have never had and it's perfectly whatever
people do or don't, but I'm always surprised. I've had
friends who have that same answer, and I go, boy,
it's nothing that you guys had a conversation about or whatever,
and they're like, no, not really, And I'm like, man,
you want to talk about freeing.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That's a wild conversation I have totally.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And so is she a civilian? Is she in the biz?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Is a software engineer?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Very smart. I was going to say, that's kind of
the way to do it, isn't it, Because if you're
a creative guy and you're kind of out there, obviously
she's got to be cool with this spotlight being on you.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
But you know, and she knows in the.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Back of her brain or even in the front of
her brain, she's like, I'm I'm the brain is brains
of this operation?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah, and down with that and whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You know.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
How long are you guys out at a clip? Does
she go out with you at all? Does she come
out meet you along the way?
Speaker 11 (16:01):
I just out here for like a week, and yeah,
I'm going to join up with us for Thanksgiving. Yeah,
my mom's gonna fly out. We're going to have Thanksgiving
wherever the heck we are in between. I was going
to ask me, Yeah, where is fly out?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Wherever you are you?
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Yeah, they're meeting us in Chicago. Maybe I don't know,
I just might wake up and go where am I?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Okay? Right?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
What time? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
And that's it.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Well, and that's what I wonder too, because there's this
romanticism about rock and roll, about being on the bus,
and some people handle it better than others. It's not
like you just started doing this yesterday in one form
or another. You've been doing this for half your life now, right,
more than that. Right, I'm thirty four. I've been doing
it since I was fifteen. There you go, fifteen years old.
I'm terrible at math, So you are right. But yes,
going out with your dad and the band and all that,
(16:42):
and so there's a degree to what you were used
to it, but also like there's a real monotony to
it that you probably kind of have to set your
brain on and go, well, well, it's a part of it.
It's this is my job. Yeah, I'm not doing this
for fun.
Speaker 11 (16:55):
There are fun aspects of it, absolutely, and I feel
very lucky to be able to do what I do.
But it is a job, so I take it seriously
as a job. You know, I'm not drink. I don't drink,
you know, Is that true?
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 11 (17:08):
It's not a party thing for me to I rest
and make sure that I'm as ready as I can
be for the next show, because people are coming to
the show, and you want when people come to see
you for the first time, you want to play those
songs like you're playing it for the first time.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Yeah, you know, it's it's I take my job very seriously. Well,
it sounds like you've arrived at that organically, but that's
also very much kind of of this moment. Music's way
more of a you you have to be more business
minded about the show business part than I think you
ever have before. I guess if you already think that,
I feel like you got a leg up. I don't know.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
I just think I think you know, the way the
lifestyle of it that's been you know, glamorized in the past,
of you know, just doing drugs and whatever. I just
think that's, uh, I don't know, it's it's immature, like
this is this is my job, and I take you
seriously and I want to make sure I'm at the
you know, the best level I can be to do
my job.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
The best way, right, But that was also kind of
very much of that time, sure, right, I mean when
that band came to town. Man fans wanted to see
something fall apart. They wanted to see TVs coming out
of hotel rooms. And now you're like, nobody really puts
up with that anymore.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Like, why would you destroy that guitar? Expensive?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Right?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Oh my god? Well, I play the drums, and when
any time I would see somebody, like if it was
grol and, I would see them kicking over this gear.
And those weren't rich guys back then, right, like you
were destroying your one kid or Kurt was destroying one
of two guitars. It's the old John I think it's
the John Hyatts song perfectly good guitar.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You ever heard that song?
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Why why these stars reckon these perfectly guitars? And I
was like, I don't even play guitar, but I was like, oh,
and they just wreck them. I feel like such a
nerd because I'd watch something and be like, oh, come on,
what are you doing? You know it's but it's supposed
to be part of that whole punk thing, I guess.
And so you guys go out and you playing a
(19:00):
show like the Agora there when you're in the headlining
spot and it's a theater show. How do you kind
of recalibrate for the size of different shows because you've
gone out before you were doing Metallica dates, which is
to call that a completely different Animals the understatement of
the year.
Speaker 11 (19:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah there. If you've seen their stage, they have, yeah,
two seasons, yep, tour. You know, having to play on
a donut in the middle of a stadium is pretty crazy.
There's nowhere to hide.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
But but did you feel like that was going to
be spatially where you like, this is gonna be hard
to fill just for you and for the band, and
you know a little bit it was just like, we
just got to do our best. You can just be
afraid and be like, hey, mister Headfield, we're scared. Just
you have to you gotta do it. No, but they
probably a band like that probably very much appreciates the
(19:49):
more workmanlike attitude too.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
Yeah sure, yeah, no, they're they're great dudes. They were
very kind and treated us with just such kindness and respect.
But yeah, I mean the show we're bringing to the Agora,
I think it's like we're basically trying to stuff an
arena show into a into a theater.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Yes, we Uh, that's what the Foundry show was, like,
that's why people were walking out of there with their
wigs if you saw us then compared to what the
show is now, Yeah, we have a we have a
screen now if you have screen videos on socials, yes,
you know, you know, we've been a performance minded band
for for you know, the last four years.
Speaker 11 (20:25):
But now that we I think we have a show
around us that has matched the level of our playing right.
And I think it's uh, it's it's super cool and
I think it's I've seen it's very fun to see
you know, these little specific moments during the show that
I know are cool and see people react with the
first time.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Yes, like, oh this is We're happy with what's going.
When you interact with fans, I don't know if you
how many meat and greets you do or anything like that,
but just standard stuff like that. When you interact with fans,
what do they recount to you the most? I imagine
a lot of them want to talk to you about
your dad, which is natural, But how do they interact
with you? What do they recount to you about your work?
Speaker 11 (21:05):
It depends really, because you know, there's a I'm in
a I'm in a unique position. So like, obviously there
are the people who kind of just view me as
a bag of my dad's blood and just want to
say your dad, your dad, your dad.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
I get.
Speaker 11 (21:20):
But then you know when people uh, you know, talk
about mammoth and and and how the music has helped
them through a you know, a rough time or something. Yeah,
that's that's stuff that I really take to heart, and
it's really wonderful.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
It's why I do what I do.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Music helps, you know, writing music helps bring me you know,
closure or you know, therapeutic uh, you know, vibes. It's
therapy for me. And so if I can bring that
to any any person who listens to my music as well,
that's that's that's super cool.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Has music felt in a way like a sibling to you?
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Sure, yeah, it's it's kind of uh, it's what gives
me purpose, I guess. Yeah. So I think about people
who trade on their famous parents' name and don't have
the goods. They got nothing, so that's all they got
somebody like you who's out there. There's a thing on
the Agora website a little bio and the artist or
(22:14):
whatever Grammy nominated. But there's a line that says arguably
the first hard rock act to genuinely break out from
ground zero, which is an apt description. I imagine that
maybe they wrote that, but that's very apt to me,
where it's like out of nowhere. I think of a
line Jerry Seinfeld said one time. He goes, when I
walk on stage and I'm working new material, like in
(22:35):
a club or something, he goes, I'll get a lot
of applause because I'm Jerry Seinfeld, But in thirty seconds
if the materials no good, I'm just some other schlub.
And so for a guy like you who's like doing
your own thing, you could be, hey, I'm Wolfy van Halen,
you know what I mean. But if you're not doing
what people want to hear, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I
(22:55):
would have yeah three years ago.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:58):
So I think the fact that I'm still here and
we're playing to bigger crowds than we were the last time,
I think that's a testament to it actually connecting with people.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Was there a thought or was there a point where
there was like where because it was Mammoth WVH for
a while, was there a point where you go, I
think we can drop that now.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
Uh Yeah, that's okay, it was that's what we wanted
to from the beginning, but it was a copyright thing
and so oh it was y oh with the original.
So two years ago we were able to secure the copy,
right leg Yeah, okayt next album?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Yeah, dropping it right.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
I mean you can even look on streaming and like
we took out the WVH for the first record, so.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You did really oh goods. Yeah, brand yourself as you
wanted to.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Yeah, right, So.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
What is the the you know, the sound of the
band to me is so good that you could kind
of trade on that for a while.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Right.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Everybody makes the joke that ac DC's been doing the
same song for fifty years, but it works for them, right, Well, yeah,
it's I mean a band. If a band sounds like themselves,
that's pretty cool, right, right, But you have to feel
like you sound like yourself too, right, I mean there
I think so yeah, but I think that's a subjective opinion,
you know, right, and so the nobody can predict the future, obviously,
(24:14):
but like, what is an evolution that you would like
to see in yourself or in the band? Like along
you know, as you continue, I don't know, I imagine
you're a guy who wants to be wants to have made,
you know, a dozen albums.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
I think every time I get in the studio, I
just like to see where the process takes me. There's
never really an intent. It's just I know, I want
to make more music, and if something sounds good when
I'm doing it, then that's probably what I'll follow.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
You're starting with the music when you're write or you
constantly jotty it's a little yeah Cordon riffs, so you're
writing all the lyrics. Yes, yeah, doing everything. So it's
a little bit of both. Is a is it important
to you that the band is a collaborative thing, which
is a silly question to ask because these are people
that you're making music with and playing with. But is
it more of like, well, guys, here's what I've come
(24:57):
up with, let's flesh this out.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Yeah, it's a lot. Well with them, it's a live thing.
In the studio, it's it's with me and my producer
for the collaborative. So in the studio it's just you
doing all of it.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
I know you were playing everything, but I didn't know
if that was continuing that way or if that's the
way in which you feel the most comfortable working.
Speaker 11 (25:14):
Yeah, that's just how it's been from the beginning. And yeah,
just feels it just feels like what Mammoth is at
this point.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Was there a point earlier when you were just kind
of getting your sea legs where you thought about I mean,
did you have friends and you were like.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Let's make let's form a band.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I had.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
I had a band in middle school.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
I recorded an album with with dad. Yes, in a band,
uh in Mark Tremandi's solo band, Like I did the band.
I remember that, And I mean like something like well
you said middle school. Yeah, now what was that band called?
Was it like, uh, you know Electric Kiwi's or something
like that, or we didn't even have any like original material, Yeah,
(25:54):
because like we just we played like System of a
Down covers. Yeah, yeah, you know we were in middle school. Yeah,
but yeah, no, I don't know, Like Mammoth from the
beginning was just this like can I do this?
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:04):
It was a like I wanted to see if I
was capable, right, And then after the first record, you know,
it took me two years, I found that it was
a fun thing and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
So that's why I'm still doing it. I imagine the
first live gigs too, because of the name, you probably
had a lot of people who are curious but kind
of had that mindset of like they're watching with their
arms crossed.
Speaker 11 (26:25):
Sure, right, yeah, let's see if you got it. I'm
sure that that guy is in my crowd every every
time I play.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
You think still though, I mean, it's not like you
guys just popped up. I mean I hear you guys,
and I go, okay, this is a band that people
know now if they like that. I mean, in the
grand scheme of things, I think people still think of
me as a bass player. I mean, if you know,
you know, But if not, you know, I'm still I
don't know. So it's important for you to for people
(26:52):
to know how much you do. Not from an ego level,
but like, hey, guys, this isn't just me. This isn't
like a pro tools band, just what I'm capable of.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
Yeah right, Rather than you know, I'm not sitting here
and going, hey, if you want to hear you know,
the only place you can hear Panama played by Anelan
is here. Yeah, I'm doing you know, I'm not doing that, right,
I'm doing my own. I'd rather fail on my own
than succeed by just copying my dad.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Plus Roth is doing all that stuff. Sure, there's non stop.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
I mean, I I love all those guys, but that
is an easy target right now to really take shots at.
I mean, we have I have a David Lee Roth
like soundboard of you know, and we just beat the
hell out of those because there's made a lot of noises. Yeah,
a lot of noises over the years. Yes, and you
know they're fun to play. But that's a whole different thing.
(27:41):
I mean, that is very much a nostalgia thing. And
he's kind of on the comets tale of what he
wants to do. And that's all fine, sure, but you
are got nothing to do with that. And so when
you talk about what you're capable of, I have to
think that even you are still figuring that out.
Speaker 11 (27:59):
Yeah, I think you should always be reassessing that. You know,
if you're living properly, you should always be growing and
reassessing what you're capable of.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
But you also want to do as many different things
as possible. I would imagine what's the litmus hays for you?
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Where you go?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It just doesn't sound like me or is it all
wide open still?
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Yeah, it's wide open. I know it's a rock and
it's a rock band. You're you're not going to put
an EDM album myself, but.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
Yeah, that's why I think, Yeah, it's it's if it
sounds good to me and I enjoy it, that I'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And that's what I love about the band, if I'm honest.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Is I mean, you know, there's a lot of bands
out right now that just sort of have that same vibe,
you know, same sort of sound, and you can always
tell a Mammoth record, you know.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
I think you guys are fantastic, happy to have you back.
You can't wait for the show.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The show is Tomorrow night.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
It's Mammoth and Miles Kennedy, who kind of got He
goes out with ulter Bridge and he does his own
solo thing and he's would slash his band for a while.
I mean, just a talent, talented dudes all the way
around the end tour with Wolfe Van Halen and Mammoth.
It's tomorrow night, doors a six show at seven. There
are a handful of tickets remaining, so if you want
to go, hit up Agora Cleveland dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
For the details. Don't hit him up on.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
Social media because that will just mean he's got to
look at it. You're creating more work for him. Just
let him be in the studio and do what he
wants to do. Don't bug this dude, because he's trying
to be out there having fun and performing for you.
The more attention you draw away from him creating music
for you, the harder it's going to be for everybody
(29:30):
to be a terrible situation all the way around. Thank
you for coming in. Pella is very nice to meet you.
Good luck out there and happy Thanksgiving. Tell your mom
thanks for all of us who are still paying attention
to what she does. She's got like a nice I
see her pop up on cooking shows and I think that's, like,
you know, she's got a good thing going there. Whatever
that is. On the Drew Barrymore shund Yes Talented Lady
(29:54):
Ellen Carr Show.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
On one called the Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
It's called the cellular Phone, and it's being heralded as
a revolution in technology.
Speaker 13 (30:07):
Two six, five seven eight one double oh seven or
one three four eight one.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Double oh seven.
Speaker 14 (30:19):
Stuck something stuck in my throat? Rob beg your pardon
something stuck at my drop. Yeah, you need some water,
but the president do you have done? Okay, now I
have my Celsius here.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yes, something stuck there.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Three five two. By the way, if you want to
send us a text.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
You know, before we went to air, we were talking
a little bit of football with Wolfe van Halen in here,
and they're they're Saints fans, he and his palor or whatever,
and we were talking about the Browns, how the Browns,
And again this has become evident to the point of
cliche that they all in this phrase usually a lot
rob that they always find ways to lose.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yep, they go to two and eight twenty three sixteen.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Yesterday I hear at home against the old Browns, the
Baltimore Ravens. And I again, that's a game that I
checked in with occasionally, and when I would do that,
they I think they were winning and I was like oh,
And then I checked in later and I go, oh yeah,
well yeah, again, I'm not shocked. It would have been
(31:26):
great had they won, of course, but they did not. Well,
I just I don't know where people sometimes think things
are going to go. Like the schador came in, everyone
was like, oh, here he comes, this is it. This
is what we and I think he was probably the
same way. But my god, was he craping rocks you
(31:47):
could see. I mean, it's his first shot at it,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I and I think.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
That went as well as you would think someone's first
NFL appearance is going.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
To be well even and if it had gone really well,
you'd have to chalk that up to a fluke. Yeah,
I mean, nobody is going to walk out and start
killing it.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
You get up there and you see game speeds and
you see I mean, look, man, I get that you're
on a practice field with NFL guys, but it's so
much different when you are out there against the best
in the NFL. At what they do, you know what,
I mean, that's it. No, I don't care who you are.
So I mean, yeah, did he have some bad throws, Absolutely,
(32:27):
without question.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
But there was some promise in there. There were some
things that looked pretty good.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
But you have to you cannot expect that he's going
to be veteran QB one first time on the field.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
But but at the very least people were curious. Yes,
they had a morbid curiosity. I think that's probably a
term best applied to the Cleveland Browns a morbid curiosity
about what would happened.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It was funny, I said.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
We were talking about it with Wolfy and I said, yeah,
it's like they just find ways to lose. And he was,
oh my god, did they lose because he was watching
it too and they were ahead.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's when I checked in. Yeah, and he's like, oh
my god, they lost. I'm like yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
And then he talked about the Detroit game, and I
had to mention the fact that I'm a Patriot fan,
because that's what Patriot fans do.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
How about those Chicago Bears.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Speaking of your home teams, Hey, baby, ye see, you're
on a you're on a roll with them.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
They're DWN Chicago Bears. First, they blow a thirteen point
lead and then they win. But congratulations, it's the final score.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
People.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Remember, it's not the fact that they're right, baby, it's
the final that matters. And there my team is another
team that usually stinks. They're in first, aren't they? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Seven to three?
Speaker 15 (33:41):
Baby?
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Oh well you can't always count on that. You usually
can't count on that. But yes, I'm very happy about that. However, uh,
back here at home, and the AFC North. The Browns
are very much a mirror image. They're down there in
the basement with the Jets.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Again.
Speaker 8 (33:59):
No are the Tennessee Titans, who are sitting pretty at
one and nine. But you know, it's not that far
of a fall. Miles Garrett becomes the first player since
nineteen eighty two to record twelve sacks in six consecutive seasons.
That is no kind of comfort whatsoever. But listen, you know,
(34:22):
you get yourself into the NFL history books.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Well, and it's just it's a it's a drag.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Really, I mean, you think about it, right, like, that's
he's going to be the greatest defensive player of all
time in the Hall of Fame with nothing else to show. Yeah,
I mean it's like, I mean, I don't know, unless
they can somehow figure out a way to turn things around,
but man, it it's just they just can't get out
of their own ways.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Yeah, he Leayfrog LT. Lawrence Taylor right did five consecutive
seasons back in the mid eighties. However, fear not, no
one has surpassed LT's record in number of secutive sexual
assault allegations, So congratulations to him.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
He still got his record.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
And eight balls consumed in one sitting. Yes, also one
held by lt yep on the end of a queen
bed at a motel six. But yeah, Miles Garrett four
sacks again yesterday. I mean the guy's incredible. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Let me see here, Alan great to hear
(35:33):
Wolf of Van Halen. March will be the fortieth That
can't be right. Oh, the fortieth anniversary of fifty one fifty.
I was thinking of one of the later albums. Yeah,
fortieth anniversary of fifty one fifty. It's pretty crazy, it
really is.
Speaker 8 (35:48):
I remember that was first album with Sammy Hagar, and
everyone was waiting with baited breath because they were like,
what the hell is this going to sound like? Even
though Sammy Hagar was a very well established solo artist
by that time, So you had half the people going
why the hell would Sammy go and join a band
and the other half going, I wonder what this is
going to sound like?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
And Van Halen it was still my life in the
mid eighties, right, Yep.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
I was just getting into Metallica and then they pretty
much took over, but before then it.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Was all about Van Halen for me.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
It was those Van Halen records that I would listen
to when I was playing the drums and blah blah blah.
I think to this day Alex van Halen for all
of his accomplishments, and there was a good twenty years
where there was no bigger band in the world. But
for some reason, I feel like Alex van Halen is still,
as far as pop culture history is concerned, an underrated.
(36:40):
It sounds ridiculous to say that, but when people talk
about the greatest rock drummers of all time, I'm sure
he's in there. But I don't know that anybody jumps
to Alex van Halen, and I'm not sure why because
they don't.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
Everybody will always instantly go to It's John Bond and
Neil Pierret.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
Yeah, but again, but then you have those are two guys, right,
But if you're talking, most people are talking like top
five top to them. You know, Yeah, Alex without question
is on that list. So yeah, fortieth. But anyway, that
summer that fifty one fifty came out and it was
super glossy, right, super glossy. It was heavily produced. Sammy's
(37:23):
fingerprints were all over it. I remember getting the cassette
I remember sitting on the on my bed and listening
to the cassette of fifty one fifty and going, Okay,
this is what it is now.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
It's not David Lee Roth, but I loved it nonetheless. Yeah,
I never I will always go back and forth between
the two. I have things I love about both of them.
But my growing up you know, we're off by what
how many years? Ten years?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I think you're eight years younger than me.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
I I have such an affinity for those same Hagar
songs fifty one to fifty I mean next to one
to me is my favorite album of theirs.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Oh it is.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Yeah, like Van Halen, one is perfect. There's there's not
one stiff on it. You can listen to it over
and over and over and over and over again. It's perfect.
There's nothing wrong with it. Fifty one fifty when he
first shows up for me, I love I love that
the first thing you hear is him do exactly what
you would expect from Sammy.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Hagar and Hallo babe.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
Yeah it was they did it. Starts, they definitely got
they definitely got kind of cornier, a little bit, way
more keyboards and colossi And that was the time ballads. Yeah,
absolutely was, and that was the direction I think that
Eddie wanted to go. That's why kind of roth walked
in the first places, because Eddie was like, it's the eighties,
I want to play more piano or keyboards or whatever.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
But could you imagine trying to get along with David
Lee Roth anyway?
Speaker 6 (38:47):
You know what I mean, Like, if you're those guys,
he's not gonna He's just that's an impossible. That band
could not have ever had any type of massive longevity
because of David Lee Ree.
Speaker 8 (38:58):
Well, they were that band when they needed to come up.
And then phase two. You know, Sammy Hagar was famously
a very disciplined guy went with respect to making music
and writing lyrics and things like that.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
He was a solo guy.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
He'd done Montrose and all that, but he was famously
a disciplined guy and that's what that band needed then. Sure,
and so they had massive hits with it. But again,
to me, it was that demarcation line between like David
Lee Roth was like, hey, baby, get over here, I
gotta buy at whiskey, take your pants off, and Sammy
was more like, when I look in your eyes, we're
gonna live Forever and Aliens and Aliens, Yes and so,
(39:34):
but that was what they needed at the time. My
favorite so fifty one fifty was Waldwall hits except for
the songs that I really liked, and those were the
ones that weren't hits, Yeah, and so like good Enough
of Get Up and you know, I loved good Enough songs,
but say they weren't singles.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Now.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
All their singles were like the Ballady Why I Can't
This Belove and Dreams and Beth both were love walks in,
you know, and which is great anyway, I digress greatly.
There fortieth anniversary for the album I love that. I
think it came out in March or April of that year.
Good Enough is what starts the album. That's the the
the hello baby, Hello Baby, Hello bird. Yeah, and the
(40:17):
everything was more kind of it was just glossy summer night,
all of the all the drums.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
It was like he was playing those Simmons drums and
best of both worlds is on that.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
That's that's I love that album, Hello Babe.
Speaker 9 (40:38):
I mean, they definitely came out the game, right, That's
what I'm saying. You're head to, Oh you want to
Sammy intro here you get too. Yeah, do you want
to hear what we're gonna sound like with a new
lead singer? Here suck on this the one time?
Speaker 3 (40:52):
All right?
Speaker 6 (40:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (40:54):
But the song is like the lady is like he's
rattling off like cuts of beef, and it was so
I was like, wow, yeah, like I got what he
was doing. And you know, it's it's out. It's hard
to out corn Dog David Lea Roth, but Sammy managed
(41:15):
to do it.
Speaker 6 (41:16):
On that first record. I was talking to the manager
out there, Tim from Mammoth and he and uh, oh god.
There was a guy sitting to Wolfe's left name Pat's
his uncle? Oh that's his uncle? Yeah, okay, or they
call him uncle Pat, so if not, it's just somebody
they call uncle Pat. And he hands me a pick.
(41:36):
It's a pink guitar pick has the Mammoth logo on
the front and on the back. He says, you know
what country that is? And I looked at it and
I had to show my age and yank my hand
away from my face trying to see what it is,
and he goes, it's Panama. Wolf tell him why that's Panama?
And he goes, because if I use that pick. That
means I play Panama every night. It's perfect Panama, all right, see,
(41:59):
because there was always like play those songs. He's like, no,
but right here, I just played it. Uh huh love it.
I see you've got a couple.
Speaker 10 (42:06):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
It's nice enough to and now I know what that is.
You know, I'm terrible geography, So that's very very helpful.
I cannot wait for that show tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
I just sent off our winners fngratulations to uh no boy,
I forgot his name?
Speaker 2 (42:24):
The hell was his name?
Speaker 8 (42:25):
Way to make him feel special?
Speaker 12 (42:26):
Rob?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Well, hey, uh really?
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Did I not send the email? Oh that's why, because
it's sitting here.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
Oh huh, better send that off.
Speaker 8 (42:35):
I will, or they'll be standing there screaming at the
will call window that they got screwed.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
By WMMS, and I shortly hate to hear that.
Speaker 8 (42:43):
Yes, Cavaliers, coming off a win on Saturday over the Grizzlies,
they will host the Bucks of Mealy Walker again tonight,
just like that home opener.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Oh boy, seven o'clock tonight.
Speaker 8 (42:55):
Your pregame coverage begins at six point thirty here on
WMMS and on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
App his name was Tim. Congratulations Tim, Tim. Where did
Tim Collin from?
Speaker 1 (43:05):
A right?
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Hey, Tim, have a good time tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (43:08):
A right?
Speaker 8 (43:08):
The Agora al Mahllo baby intro is from Shantilly Lace
in case you were wondering, which I know you weren't.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yes, that's an oft used.
Speaker 8 (43:18):
I think by the time they use it in Shantilly Lace,
it had been used somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
So that was kind of heard.
Speaker 8 (43:23):
Sammy's big bumper on the subject of your Cleveland Browns.
Berniekozar went into surgery this morning.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (43:34):
He posted a very early video around four a m.
That he was going to be getting his liver transplant.
So even though listen, it's very very rare there's any
kind of silver lining on a non victory Monday, but
the Bernie Cozar liver transplant thing might have done it.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
He posted another one. Did you see? He posed another
and updated thirty four minutes ago. I'm out and I'm
feeling good.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
I did not see that. No, you matter, Yeah, he's
and he talks, so it looks like he's wait, I matter, No, No,
he says you matter.
Speaker 2 (44:07):

All right, Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Did you see the follow up? I did not.

No, it's on his Instagram page if you're on it.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Right ay that I pulled that off of his ex page.
I have it here if you want to just hit
play through my phone. He already said, well.
Speaker 8 (45:07):
No, let me bring it up here. Let me see
what he what he did so we can properly. Uncle
Pat is Valerie's brother. The guy just texted, OK, well
then maybe he knew what I was talking about with
the whole Meghan Kelly thing. I don't have the Bernie coach.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
It's fine. Yeah, he's out though, and he's all right, I.
Speaker 8 (45:29):
Mean, ready to enjoy the rest of the week and
the rest of our lives, you matter.
Speaker 6 (45:38):
I mean, he's definitely just come out of surgery sated. Yeah,
but look, man, I'm happy to see him doing well.
Everybody was pulling for him. He was mentioned on every
broadcast in the NFL yesterday. It wasn't just the Browns.
Everybody was talking about him. So it's good to see
him him doing well.
Speaker 8 (45:53):
Also, the guy is still on the team. Have to
be happy that that's getting the lion's share of the attention.
Speaker 6 (46:00):
Thank you, uncle Bernie. Thank God for your transplant.
Speaker 8 (46:04):
Yeah, yep. Shadora Sanders is gonna be the first one
to send him a edible arrangement. That kid is flowers
or something. My god, what's that?
Speaker 6 (46:14):
He is just hard on himself, Like he came out
and he's like, I don't accept losing and this is
on me. And I mean even Myles Garrett came out.
He was like, dude, he kind of came into a
game and he has to, you know. But I mean
that's at the end of the day. That's what those
guys try to do, is own those losses and stuff.
He's got a tough road ahead, man, That's not that's
(46:36):
not that's not an easy place to cut your teeth.
Speaker 8 (46:38):
Well, listen, man, if you're gonna get plenty of practice
owning your losses with the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, if you
listen to us on the iHeartRadio app, you can drop
us messages there with the red talkback button. Otherwise you
can just drop us voicemails on our after hours line,
which is always there for you. It's two one six
nine eight six eighty nine oh three.
Speaker 15 (47:00):
Hey, Alan, storytime here was twenty twelve. I was working
at a grocery store as a young man and I
had to really do sheey supervisor. One day, I'm putting
stuff away on the shelf and he comes up to
me and just farts right on me, like just directly
right next to me. He only did it to impress
his friend that was standing right next to him.
Speaker 12 (47:20):
So what I did.
Speaker 15 (47:21):
I went to the cooler where I know this guy
purchased this two monsters and they were sitting in the
cooler waiting for him.
Speaker 8 (47:26):
I'd take two of my fingers and take it right
up my.
Speaker 15 (47:29):
Butt, rub it all around in spirit, all over the
rim of his monster cans. An hour later he was
drinking it and I was laughing.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
Anyways, I'm telling you this story because I think you should.
Speaker 15 (47:39):
Do that to your selfiest can rub her poop all
around that rim, leave it in the fridge, and then
whoever takes it, we'll be waking tasting your poop. Hate
the show it's shower bombs.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
That guy shower bomb just lost some points.
Speaker 8 (47:53):
Man, I think a shower bongs needs some professional help.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Well, you see, all I did was stuck a monster
energy can.
Speaker 5 (48:02):
Off my ass.
Speaker 8 (48:02):
And I'm speaking as someone who needs professional help. Yeah,
I'm not gonna do that, because what if my drink
doesn't get stolen shower bongs?
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Well, now I can't drink.
Speaker 8 (48:17):
It A and B.
Speaker 6 (48:20):
You would have to shove your fingers up your ass
to rim out a monster energy can.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Do you really want to do that?
Speaker 6 (48:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (48:32):
I didn't even go that far into it.
Speaker 8 (48:34):
I like how he says. I like how he says
he had a douchey manager, but then proceeds to explain
what he did.
Speaker 6 (48:40):
Yeah, I think he might have to join him there.
I showed that guy, I showed that guy shoving fingers
in my own ass to I would think him. I
would think that if he had done that, that by
the time that guy would smell that as he brought
that can to his face before he even took a sip.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
It depends on what he put on, if it was
just a little smegma or something.
Speaker 8 (49:06):
Joke's on you, by the way. You know, I used
to drink a lot of Monster back in the day.
We used to just get it. They would send us
free cases when I was on in Chicago, and so
they were stacked up in my office, and I'm pretty
sure that like poop was one of their early ingredients.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
So the joke was on that guy. The first flavor.
It might have been.
Speaker 8 (49:25):
Yeah, so all right, thank you, shower bongs. That's nothing
I'm ever ever going to do. And the fact that
that's what occurred to you, listen, godspeed.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
I just don't know how that's a big payoff.
Speaker 8 (49:41):
Ah, that guy's drinking a can of a beverage that
he purchased and was really looking forward to, and then
I rubbed my stink finger all over it. Okay, well,
great again, that doesn't make him less douchey, and it
certainly doesn't improve your situation with him.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
I know some people are just looking for what's happening.
Speaker 8 (50:04):
I know that some people are just looking for short
term solutions rather than long term game.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Nevertheless, Ah, okay, but he might need help.
Speaker 8 (50:17):
There's help there, there's he definitely needs help.
Speaker 5 (50:21):
The Allen Carr Show.
Speaker 7 (50:23):
On one hundred point seven, they say, no, man, he's
an island.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
What at iHeart Cleveland.
Speaker 8 (50:32):
You sure get your chance to try? Hello, everybody, Allen got.
Speaker 5 (50:39):
Where did everybody go?
Speaker 7 (50:41):
On one hundred point seven WMMS Secrets in.
Speaker 17 (50:46):
The Shadows names Plame Fiveland, Listen, who's.
Speaker 6 (50:51):
The lame.
Speaker 18 (50:59):
In?
Speaker 8 (51:01):
Somebody? Why that AI never stops working?
Speaker 19 (51:19):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Rob does not.
Speaker 6 (51:26):
One of those.
Speaker 8 (51:28):
Social media accounts that are kind of like the Onion
if fake news types stuff literal fake news. Trump reversus
stance on Epstein Files after being visited by three pedophile ghosts.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
A very Dickensian.
Speaker 8 (51:47):
It seems almost completely counterintuitive Rob that I'm one of
the only people thus far in local media to not
have talked about the Trump and the Epstein files because
it's I don't know boring is the right word, but
(52:07):
it's not like anybody we knew this. It's not like
anybody has some new hot take on it.
Speaker 6 (52:12):
No, but everybody's opinion is going to remain what it is.
It's not going to change based upon any new information.
Speaker 8 (52:18):
Well, what was weird, though, is I heard some random
morning show this morning. I forget where I was, but
it was on the speaker, some random radio morning show.
There was teasing some stuff that was coming up, and
one of them was and more Epstein email madness. And
(52:39):
I'm like, that's the Epstein email madness. Right, We've gone
from megadopes screaming groomer in pizza shops to teasing. Now
the just the latest developments in presidential pedophilia. We got
some of ar Ah Epstein's stuff coming up. Trump said
that he them now to release the Epstein files again.
Speaker 5 (53:02):
This is all.
Speaker 6 (53:03):
I'm sure.
Speaker 8 (53:04):
This is not some newfound commitment to transparency on his part.
This is just introducing whatever the next phase of the
planned subterfuge is.
Speaker 5 (53:15):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (53:16):
But we've spent so long being told that it existed
in different forms. It either doesn't exist or it exists
in some file that's not you know, like everything that
I ever read about it, it changed constantly that well,
it's not really what it appears to be.
Speaker 8 (53:39):
Yeah, but that was all part of them trying to
pretend that it was something that you know, Trump went
from Epstein's a terrific guy to this is all a
Democrat hoax. I guess I don't understand what the confusion
was though, right, But there's video of It's not like
these guys didn't know each other, and so there's in
(53:59):
these emails come out and whatever. Last week, you know,
they're zeroing in on some of the communications between Jeffrey
Epstein and Glen Maxwell and him talking to just various people. Right,
Rich dudes are all going to go to bat for
each other. But imagine when a pedophile thinks you're a sicko? Right,
(54:21):
because that was the line that a lot of people
were focusing on, as Jeffrey Epstein saying, I've never met
anybody as bad as Trump. Right, doesn't have a decent
cell in his body. Now, anybody who's been paying attention
to Donald Trump for forty years knows this, Okay, But
imagine the guy who is known for all this stuff
(54:43):
is like, yeah, I mean, I'm a sex trafficker, but
that dude is a straight up psycho. Yeah, imagine that's
the log line. So yeah, I mean I alluded to
it earlier. You know, when somebody like Megan Kelly is going,
well listen, not technically pedophilia. When those are the distinctions
(55:06):
you're trying to make, I don't know what you're defending anymore.
Trump has never met a criminal or a scumbag that
he didn't love. Whether it's white collar criminals he's pardoning,
or sexual predators or January sixth douchebags or foreign dictators,
(55:26):
those are his people and there's never been any question
about that. You cannot count on any consistency from this
guy other than always aligning himself with the very worst
people that society has to offer.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
So I've never quite been known.
Speaker 8 (55:49):
What he was worried about in the first place, because
MAGA people are not going to leave him. They've proven
they do not care about sexual assault or oligarchy or
pedophilia or financial malfeasance.
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Couldn't care that bless.
Speaker 6 (56:07):
But that was my point is how where does that
does any more information about it even matter? Like, like
if they can rely all the time but anything care,
I think it matters big picture. His people don't care.
It's just that the society and the culture has kind
of become some numb to these things that you can't.
Speaker 8 (56:31):
You can't in good conscience go well, this doesn't matter
because people don't care.
Speaker 6 (56:36):
You know what I mean, I don't disagree. What I'm
saying is it's not going to change anything.
Speaker 8 (56:40):
Well, I've never again I've never understood why he was
worried about it. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (56:51):
But but but like they literally went from saying it
was on someone's desk and being reviewed to it not existing,
to there's nothing to it, to it's a hoe to
now go ahead and release everything because it's it's yeah,
but those of those people are on it. So what
is actually what is the endgame? That's what I don't get.
Speaker 2 (57:08):
Don't know, I've never understood what the endgame.
Speaker 8 (57:10):
Well, I know the endgame for him this pivot to yes,
release them is they're going to release this incredibly redacted
version and what you will find unredacted is just names
of Democrats who met with Jeffrey Epstein. So then he
and the Department just can go, look, you know, we're
gonna open all these investigations and appeal. So it's it's
(57:31):
more subterfuge. The thing that bothers me more than anything
else is if this guy feels cornered or if this
guy's nervous, he will burn it all down. This guy
will go to There are no lengths to which he
will not go to distract or to you know, So
beyond this is the thing that kind of makes me
(57:52):
nervous is you don't know what the guy's gonna do.
He's feral, you don't know, doesn't care about you, doesn't
care about the United States that he'll wreck it all
if he thinks, well, this will get me to where
I need to be. You know, all these people who
screamed about the deep state, oh the deep state, they
(58:15):
didn't mind the deep state. They wanted to control it.
So they wanted you know, the whole Well, this is
weaponization of government. They couldn't wait to do that when
they got in there. So, yeah, I don't know what
the I don't know. You know, he's got that social
media platform called truth Social and just like everybody else,
(58:35):
they were trying to roll out AI, except that the
AI on his own social media platform was basically you know,
putting information on there that runs counter to their narrative.
So it's like, yeah, tariffs are stupid and the January
sixth people are traders and that you know on your
own platform.
Speaker 2 (58:55):
So who knows.
Speaker 19 (58:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (58:58):
I don't know what the endgame is. I just don't
understand any of it, man, I really really don't. I
just I wish that I mean again, I know social
media is not going anywhere. I know all of these things,
but I just wish there was a way that it
could all just be facted again, because no matter who
you hear it coming from, no matter whose mouth it
comes from, it has some form of bias one way
(59:18):
or the other. Yeah, that's but that.
Speaker 2 (59:21):
But that has always been the case. Yeah, but not really.
Speaker 6 (59:23):
I remember sitting and watching Peter Jennings give me the news,
and it was what happened in Zimbabwe.
Speaker 8 (59:29):
Yeah, but they still do that. I mean, if you
watch the network nightly news, which is what Peter Jennings
was doing, Yes, people go, oh back in the day, everybody,
those are the gatekeepers.
Speaker 2 (59:39):
And that was the problem that some people had with that.
Speaker 8 (59:41):
There, Oh, well you're getting your news from this, so
you kind of reverse engineer it and you go, okay,
well we all got the news.
Speaker 2 (59:48):
But that's because there were three people giving us the news.
Speaker 6 (59:51):
Yes, and there wasn't twenty four hour cycle of someone
having to tell you what to think about the news.
Speaker 8 (59:57):
Right, that's the problem. But they still have the night news.
If you watch David Muir doing ABC Nightly News or whatever,
he's very workmanlike. He's like, here's this, here's this, here's this.
So the people who are doing that on the nightly news,
just for people who talk about, well, there used to
be Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw, those people are still
doing that. If there had been social media and all
(01:00:19):
these other outlets when we were coming up, it would
be the exact same thing. So, you know, I know
people talk about like we're any post truth society, but
that's all perception. There are things that are still true,
and so the trouble is you have a harder and
harder time getting people to collectively agree on those things
(01:00:41):
that are true. And so I think that the endgame
for something like this is that maybe you use people's
own plans against them. Guys like Steve Bannon, where their
entire plan all the way through has been the old
you know, flood the zone with crap and people won't
know what to believe anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Just constantly keep them distracted.
Speaker 8 (01:01:02):
I think that the endgame for something like this is
maybe flooded with so much information that it become Listen,
the MAGA people aren't going to leave him, but I
don't know what you're defending anymore.
Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
You do have to.
Speaker 8 (01:01:18):
Come to the conclusion that you're like, Okay, well, clearly
there's something going on here, but I'm willing to bend
over backwards to defend this guy. You know, if you're
one of those people, if you're a supporter, that's the
deal that you have to make with yourself is I
will go to any lengths to defend anything for this guy.
(01:01:39):
And you can't count on that forever. This is a
guy who very clearly has no intentions of leaving. You
don't build a giant ballroom onto the White House to
leave it for the next guy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
You just don't.
Speaker 8 (01:01:53):
And so that's part and parcel of why I was
never You know, these people operate because the way that
they do, because they're not worried about election results.
Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Yeah, why aren't there checks and balances to that?
Speaker 6 (01:02:06):
Like, how can it just be free to show me
some I mean, you know, well, I'm not saying that
I can, but isn't there something that says like there
are processes and if he thinks he's not going anywhere,
there has to.
Speaker 8 (01:02:17):
Be, well there are path to that there are, But
there are four thousand stop gaps that should have happened
for things like this before if he wasn't being enabled
by a Congress that is letting him do whatever he wants. Yes,
Congress and the Supreme Court, who are, let's be real,
pretty much in his back pocket. Maybe not overtly, but
(01:02:41):
covertly with the majority that they've got over there. Yeah,
four thousand things before this, under normal circumstances would have
been stopped by the other bodies of the government.
Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
But they're not.
Speaker 8 (01:02:58):
And so even when the Supreme Court, you know, hand
something down, they have no enforcement power obviously, and they
know that, so there's really no stakes for them.
Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
However, they rule on certain things.
Speaker 8 (01:03:10):
You know, a lot of people are celebrating that they
didn't take up the gay marriage thing.
Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Oh Bergafel, which is a big one.
Speaker 8 (01:03:16):
That lady who in Kentucky, right, that Kim Davis who
for years, oh she wouldn't give people marriage licenses because
you know this thrice divorced Mormon wives type lady or whatever,
and some people really took a lot of umbrage with that,
and so they were really kind of holding their breaths
wondering if the Supreme Court was going to try to
overturn gay marriage. Now they didn't do that, they wouldn't
(01:03:36):
even hear the case. But we are also to a
point where they don't really have to. So the headline
is good, but the people in that community know there
is no end of work still to be done because
a million things can be chipped away behind the scenes
to the point where they don't have to make big,
sweeping decisions that will then bring protests and outrage and
(01:04:00):
all this. They can do a million little things along
the way that will achieve the same result. So you
know when people talk about checks and balances, yeah, you know,
you still do have large portions of the judicial branch
they're pushing back.
Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
But if you have somebody who just goes, no, I'm
just going to ignore that, nothing you can do.
Speaker 5 (01:04:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:04:24):
But even if you but the Supreme Court, even if
it is controlled by one side or the other, still
has to make a decision to completely change everything that.
Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
The country was based upon. Well, they do, but whether
they do or not, how do you enforce that?
Speaker 8 (01:04:40):
They don't. They don't have any enforcement power, so they rule.
But if you have someone who doesn't adhere to turns
out this whole system was kind of propped up on
people who you know, were not hell bent on subverting
the norms of government. If you have somebody like that,
they just go no. You know, they tried to cast
(01:05:02):
the whole shut down. Their whole talking point was the
Democrats shut down. Now everybody knew that wasn't true, obviously,
because if the courts say you have to fund people
getting food, and you go back and appeal in court,
I don't want to do that. That is not the
Democrats keeping you from keeping people fed. That is you
(01:05:22):
actively going to court and saying I want people to starve.
And so that only gets you so far.
Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
But I don't know what the end result of the
Epstein thing is. I really don't.
Speaker 8 (01:05:38):
But every day there's new information, and I guess maybe
they hope that eventually the truth of it will be
so unbelievably hard to ignore. But there's a long way
between now and then.
Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
For that.
Speaker 8 (01:05:55):
I'm still so confused by all of it. It just
doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
I know it'll make it happy, though, is Brian h
Brian called a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Over the weekend, a lot in downtime.
Speaker 8 (01:06:07):
Now I have an affinity for this because this is
the kind of stuff I grew up with. We were talking,
he called last week with some Bette Midler, remember that. Yeah, yeah,
from a distance. Brian called with from a distance, and
I went off on this whole thing about how hey
Bette Midler brought us Barry Manilow because my mom and
our friend Keith Kennedy out there big Barry Manilow fans,
(01:06:28):
And so I'm thinking Brian heard this and gifted us
some Barry Manilow in his own inimitable fashion.
Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
Looks like we made it.
Speaker 8 (01:06:39):
So shallow, Yeah, looks like we made it.
Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
I don't hate that at all.
Speaker 8 (01:06:47):
Remember that song, I sure do. Barry Manilow had an album.
It was his third or fourth in and again I
grew up in a house full of Barry Manilo because
my mom loved Barry Manilo, and he had an album
called This One's for You And it was a massive album,
like three million copies, which in the seventies, big big deal, right,
(01:07:10):
and that was one of the big hits. Looks like
we made it. This is when guys were singing in
Barry Manilow famous for playing piano. But you know, I
forget in the seventies all these singers had like orchestras
behind them, right yeah, a lot of strings, a lot
of deep percussion things like that.
Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Looks fuck, we made it a shallow.
Speaker 8 (01:07:43):
I mean seven year old ac rob right now, I'm
all warm and fuzzy, bro, Yeah, warm and fuzzy.
Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
Manilo wasn't a big one in my house growing up.
So hu you have Perry Como? Well, yeah, we had
all the Italians. If I was at my grandparents' house,
ye where you got all that stuff. And my grandmother
was a big humper, dank guy.
Speaker 8 (01:08:05):
We had the Dink.
Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
We had Tony Bennett probably you know, not as much
as you'd think, Frank. My grandfather loved uh Sinatra and
Dean Martin. But Perry Como was huge. You heard a
lot of him. Uh yeah, yeah, there was some movies.
Oh yeah, zoom.
Speaker 8 (01:08:24):
Vic Damone? Remember Vic Damone. Wasn't he married Diane Carroll?
Vic Damone?
Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
The uh, I'm trying to think of the guy's name.
I just trying to google it.
Speaker 12 (01:08:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
My grandfather had a guy.
Speaker 8 (01:08:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
My brother bought me a physical copy of the record
not long ago.
Speaker 15 (01:08:41):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
That was like my grandfather's dude. And he was Jerry Vale. Yeah,
Jerry Vale, Jerry Vale. There you go. And uh that
that guy man, he was on constantly. My grandfather loved him. Yeah,
he'd be out working in the garage. I got him,
Uh boombach, a boom box, a boombox, get the cassettes.
Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
He'd be out there working in the garage.
Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:09:12):
All and I have shower Bongs at my house all
the time. Now, I got to watch my beer since
I know what he's capable of. All right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
Yeah, here's an idea.
Speaker 8 (01:09:20):
It's friends that are taxi. Yeah, don't have him over.
Don't leave any beverages around or at the very least,
because apparently shower Bong said that it was the the
douchey manager's fault, right, not his fault. No, right, he
could have taken the high road. Didn't do that, douchey manager,
shower Bongs. This is many years ago. He says, a
(01:09:41):
younger man didn't like the guy, but the guy kept
two Monster Energy drinks waiting for him. Sounded like a
ritualistic thing. Right, every day, this guy's excited uh to
drink his Monster Energy and shower bongs ghost knuckle deep
right rubs it puts the same finger on this guy's thing.
Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Oh this hurts, but it's gonna be worth it. It's
gonna be so worth it.
Speaker 10 (01:10:07):
Hi Ellen Hirad Megan from Grafton here. I love when
you play Brian singing, but he reminds me of the
Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz when he sings.
Speaker 18 (01:10:18):
If you listen to.
Speaker 10 (01:10:19):
The song that the Cowardly Lion sings and listen to Brian,
you'll see the resemblance.
Speaker 12 (01:10:24):
So funny.
Speaker 8 (01:10:24):
I absolutely love it. Love you hate the hit show
by see the resemblance. How am I gonna see the resemblance, Megan?
He sounds like the cowardly Lion Bert Law Remember Bert Laar, Yeah,
he was the Cowardly Lion and the Wizard of Oz
the comedian back of the day. Except they were all
at the end of the Wizard of Oz because she
(01:10:45):
was having a dream. They were all as themselves at
the end, Right, they were all her characters were were
the farm workers?
Speaker 6 (01:10:52):
Was that the culmination of that film? That sounds Oh
and you were that too, Oh and you were a yeah.
She wakes up her hands from the yeah the yeah
for my tail on.
Speaker 12 (01:11:02):
The Lush, I would show come push probly Unna.
Speaker 8 (01:11:16):
Megan hit it on the head. It's he's the cowardly Brian,
the cowardly Brian.
Speaker 6 (01:11:21):
I don't want to call him that because it sounds disrespectful,
but if he sounds like the cowardly Lion from the
Wizard of oz if I with the King, Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
It's Brian Lush.
Speaker 12 (01:11:36):
I would show come push holebly Unne.
Speaker 8 (01:11:48):
Wow, he really is. I'm never gonna never gonna know.
Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
You can't with me so shy. It's a skippy dude

Speaker 12 (01:11:56):
I'm the hap in the.
Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
US over.
Speaker 6 (01:12:05):
I mean, I don't want to call the cowardly Bryan,
but you know, I think it's okay, all right, Allan
Cox Show on.
Speaker 5 (01:12:13):
One hundred points of call, The Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
Is this for real?
Speaker 6 (01:12:20):
Well, that's swearing in this all kinds of effing and
Jeffin are you really allowed to broadcasting on the radio
two six, five, seven.
Speaker 13 (01:12:27):
Eight one double oh seven or one eight hundred and
three four eight one double oh seven?
Speaker 8 (01:12:44):
Woke, i'llday little good step a fello?
Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
Oh the very god?
Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
Have you heard this so little?
Speaker 8 (01:12:53):
I have not called my cologne sale oh Sale. That
the band is called it's a terrible name. It's difficult
to say. It's not going to roll off your tongue.
It's a little supergroup trio. Rob does the voice unfamiliar?
Speaker 6 (01:13:20):
Yes? Who is it is that?
Speaker 8 (01:13:27):
I don't know? Darius Rucker?
Speaker 6 (01:13:31):
Is it really?
Speaker 8 (01:13:31):
Yeah? The band is called Howl Owl Howe. Howell, there's
Mike Mills from Rim all right, I can hear that,
Darius Rucker, Mike Mills and Steve Gorman, who was the
drummer for the Black Crows, And it's.
Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
Called howl Owl Howe.
Speaker 8 (01:13:52):
Why they didn't call it Hoodie and the Crowfish, I'll
never know why, but it was right there.
Speaker 9 (01:13:57):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
I did not recognize voice.
Speaker 8 (01:14:01):
Darius Rucker, who has spent the better part of the
last fifteen years as a country artist, and I wouldn't
say getting back to his rock and roll roots. But
maybe I don't know, And I don't know how the
three of those guys looked up, but Steve Gorman, who ironically,
not ironically, I've been saying I met a lot improperly lately.
Steve Gorman, after the dissolution of the Black Crows, started
(01:14:24):
doing sports radio in Atlanta. That's their hometown. So Steve
Gorman has been a radio guy for a while. You
know how Greg Kinn started doing radio. Remember Greg Kin,
He had a couple of big hits and then when
things kind of started to dry up. Greg Kinn is
one of these rock and roll guys who started doing radio.
And I don't mean like you know, they put you
in a studio and bean you across the country and
(01:14:45):
call the show like Nikki six or Alice Cooper. Greg
Kinn was on Las Vegas radio for like twenty years,
and Steve Gorman was a sports talk show host in Atlanta.
But because I think when the Black Crows reformed, I
don't know if he was, there was some acrimony there,
(01:15:06):
not just between the Robinson brothers, but I think between
all those guys. So Chris Robinson was just at the
rock Hall inductions singing Bad Company, but Steve Gorman behind
the drums, Mike Mills from Ram and Darius Rucker. They're
in front and the band is called Howl Owl Howell.
Did you recognize his voice right away? Darius Rucker? Yeah,
(01:15:30):
I can't say that I did, because I saw the
story before I heard.
Speaker 6 (01:15:34):
Okay, yeah, you had me listen, and I still couldn't
pick it out. I'm really surprised I couldn't, because he
has a very distinct voice.
Speaker 8 (01:15:41):
Yeah, my cologne because she called one of her colognes
r E M and so I guess they're a little poking,
little fun at her or whatever. I don't know if
it's a one off thing. I'm not sure, but I
guess Mike Mills. I don't know if they filed any
kind of of litigation against her. What I knew the
(01:16:02):
RAM guys weren't pleased about it. So anyway, they called
the song my cologne.
Speaker 6 (01:16:10):
My colonna. There's an opportunity for weird now in every
song my Colonna from Hoodie and the Crowfish, people saying
this is already.
Speaker 8 (01:16:21):
My dad's favorite band. I mean, listen, it doesn't sound bad, right.
I was never an RM guy, but I appreciated what
they did. Rim if You're agen x or Rim was
one of those bands that you were like expected to
listen to if you were in college, right, you had
to love Rim, And I'm like, no, thank you, Yeah,
I never did.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
I now cared for him a little too whiny for me.
Speaker 8 (01:16:44):
Ironically, many years later, the entire heavy metal world was
people whining about how they didn't get enough hugs.
Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
That's where new metal came from.
Speaker 8 (01:16:54):
But whatever, everything's cyclical, and you know, the RM guys
basically said cynara, and.
Speaker 13 (01:17:04):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
I don't know that you've ever seen an RM reunion
talked about.
Speaker 6 (01:17:11):
I thought some of the r EM stuff was okay,
Like early stuff was good and it got weird.
Speaker 8 (01:17:16):
See, I liked them later. I liked when they rocked.
I like Monster. I like the stuff that was RIM
fans didn't like. I didn't need more radio free Europe.
I didn't need more friggin' that's me in the corner.
That's that's where they lost me.
Speaker 6 (01:17:33):
Was the losing my religions and the shiny happy people
and the crap like that that I hated.
Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Everybody hurts.
Speaker 8 (01:17:39):
Yeah, I get that they were just playing around and whatever.
It just didn't didn't click on my brain. And then
Bill Barry had an aneurysm, so he split, right.
Speaker 12 (01:17:48):
He was like.
Speaker 8 (01:17:52):
Their drummer had an aneurysm or something, and so he
bailed and that was kind of the beginning of the
end for r EM.
Speaker 6 (01:17:57):
Document I think was the album I liked. Okay, I'm
looking at the the songs now that someone's document the
President sign the Document, Uh huh, yeah, that one, I think, Uh,
let's see.
Speaker 8 (01:18:16):
Well, this is we gave away tickets a while ago
for actor Michael Shannon. He goes out in the road
with like an RM collaborator and they do full RM
albums in their entirety. I think Document or No Life's
Rich Pageant is the one that's coming up in the spring. Okay,
that we gave away the tickets for, but they've done
it a couple of different tours where they'll do an
(01:18:38):
entire RM album because they're such huge fans.
Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Green was okay, that had Orange Crush and that stuff.
Speaker 13 (01:18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:18:44):
Document was like the one I love and the World
as we know it, Yeah, And so it's like those
things were fine, but if you were in college in
the late eighties early nineties, you were like expected to
like r EM and it just didn't. So by the
time I was you know, by the time I had
(01:19:06):
just started doing radio pretty much full time when Monster
came out. So we were playing like, What's the Frequency Kenneth?
And we're playing crush with Eyeliner. I thought those were good.
I like the Frequency Kenneth is a perfectly fine song.
I have no problem with that whatsoever. I like them
when they get their rock on, and I don't care
(01:19:26):
what anybody says. They weren't doing it before that.
Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
But it was.
Speaker 8 (01:19:32):
Not as popular with their fan base. Bang and Blame
and Star sixty nine, and I thought those were good.
I forgot about Blame, Yeah, I mean Star sixty nine.
Try asking somebody if they know.
Speaker 13 (01:19:48):
What that is?
Speaker 6 (01:19:51):
Nice Nice sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
This was one of the RMB sides for nine.
Speaker 8 (01:20:00):
I think this was on New Adventures of High five
maybe or nine Automatic for the People. I don't know
what their last album was, but you know Bill Berry
Split anyway. Mike Mills is in a band with Darius
Hooty Rucker and Steve Gorman. I don't know if they're
just sticking around. I don't know if they're having fun.
I don't know if they're going to tour. I don't
(01:20:20):
know anything.
Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
But Darius Rucker.
Speaker 8 (01:20:22):
You want to talk about a great second act is
him as a country star, and boy, that was not
easy for him to reinvent himself in that way.
Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
JC wants to know if you can hit the post
on Cuyahoga.
Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
I played Cyah Hogan not long ago as a bumper
because we were talking about something. I don't know the
song though, really, Oh I played it. We were giving
away those Michael Shannon tickets. Oh yeah, because that's on
Life's Rich pageant. I think that's from Yeah it is Yeah,
yeah nice six is movable and yeah country.
Speaker 5 (01:21:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:21:19):
So I I fully understand why college kids, why my
peers are way in Rim, but I was. I was
a metal guy.
Speaker 6 (01:21:26):
My cousin Tommy loved Yeah. I never got it.
Speaker 8 (01:21:29):
I mean, my unpopular hot take is I never liked
Michael Stipe's voice, and he's widely regarded as a phenomenal singer,
so I think technically he is. I just never liked
his voice. I thought the musicians in that band are great.
The other there's an album called Hindu Love Gods. It's
one of my favorite of all time, and it's just
Warren Zevon with the other three guys from Rim.
Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
They were his backing band.
Speaker 8 (01:21:52):
They did a one off of covers called Hindu Love
Gods probably nineteen eighty nine, and it's him, Mike Mills,
Peter Buck and Bilber.
Speaker 6 (01:22:00):
And Michael Stipe. Was just he was annoying. He was,
like to say, as one of those guys that could
never be in on the joke. Everything had to be
about him taking himself so seriously. I guess it was
just enough. I I was that that was part of
the reason I never liked Ariya. Yeah, probably the biggest
part of the reason.
Speaker 8 (01:22:16):
I mean, I guess, like if it's I didn't mind
how he was, I just you know, if a guy's
that way, but I liked their me. He's listen, our
friend David Draymond, right, congratulations during the weekend. He takes
himself very seriously, and that can that can kind of
rub people the wrong way sometimes even before all this
(01:22:38):
Israel Gaza Michigas, he takes himself very seriously. And my
thought is always that probably among artists, that's a way
to protect yourself. That's probably like a little a little defense,
right maybe, But I don't know, I wouldn't presume to
speak for the guy.
Speaker 6 (01:22:57):
Well, I'm starting to like them a little bit more
here as I look the also known as r EM. Right,
so the other things they called themselves Hornet's Attack, It
Crawled from the South and Bingo hand Job.
Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
Yeah yeah, I like that a lot.
Speaker 13 (01:23:13):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
Bingo hand Job is fantastic.
Speaker 8 (01:23:18):
Ram performing under the name Bingo hand Job at a
nineteen ninety one surprise gig for the release of Out
of Time.
Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
That great. Yeah, good for them.
Speaker 8 (01:23:28):
Now see that.
Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Now I could get behind that.
Speaker 8 (01:23:31):
But imagine you go to see that band and then
R e. M walks out right freak out. Yeah, I
would be really mad if I went to see Bingo
hand Job and Rim comes out and starts playing swimming.
(01:23:56):
I thought this was Bingo hand Job.
Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
I didn't want to see r EM.
Speaker 8 (01:23:59):
I mean, I should have liked them because I think
Radio for Europe was their first song out the gate.
Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
They did Radio for Europe.
Speaker 8 (01:24:04):
I was like, this is a good song, but then
everything else was like so dirgy, and I was like, Okay, anyway,
they don't need us to like them, right, They made
their money, They sold millions.
Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
They have a devoted fan base. Gen x indie heroes.
Speaker 6 (01:24:20):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Gene Simmons checked back in by the way, Yes, yeah,
speaking of heroes.
Speaker 18 (01:24:26):
Allan, this is Gene Simmons who kiss and was myself.
You were talking about using coupons on a date, and
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think
it shows the signs of a mate with a high
sexual prowless and a conservative fiscal attitude is going to be.
Speaker 5 (01:24:44):
A great provider.
Speaker 18 (01:24:46):
Also, my iPhone is not a force an iPhone eights
in the twenty twelve pilots. It is not the best quality,
but it works.
Speaker 8 (01:24:55):
I'll tell you Gene Simmon's blake driving a twenty twelve
pilot an iPhone iPhone You over for.
Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
iPhone? Yeah, good for him.
Speaker 8 (01:25:04):
I knows how to stretch a buck of myself. It's
like me, Rob, I'm driving a rental car. My car
is in the body shop right. I'm waiting to hear
from them with the damages after I hit that deer.
Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Oh, so do you know if it's fixable yet? No
clue dropped it.
Speaker 8 (01:25:17):
I dropped it off this morning, walked next door to
get my rental car, and I'm in. I'm driving a
Toyota Corolla. I'm driving like a little toy around Rob.
I must and then I pull into work this morning
and Mondays are you know, they have sales meetings and stuff.
There's a lot of people here on Monday mornings. And
I know this, and so I'm pulling in. I'm like, ah,
(01:25:37):
a small car. It's not like my Fusion is a
big car, but it crolls a small car. Yeah, I goes,
it'd be great, right, three spots. Again, this isn't the
end of the world, but I'm just recounting this morning.
Three spots in our parking garage on our level where
I couldn't get the car in because the because the
person on one side or the other didn't know how
to park. They do that thing where they like pull
(01:25:59):
in it and angle and just let it sit there
and get out of their car, you know, like they're crossed.
They're like at an angle in the spot and you're stuck. Yeah,
like three people like their wheel their wheels are turned in. Okay,
you just curved into the spot and split.
Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Peeves Rob. I was peethed. Yeah, I was miffed.
Speaker 6 (01:26:23):
It's there's also a couple of gigantic SUVs that very
small little people drive that they may as well just
take up two spots.
Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
There are massive pickup trucks in our parking garage.
Speaker 8 (01:26:33):
And I and you really do have to you know,
when you're making these these turning these corners in these
parking garages, you know these are just shy of like
hair pin turns.
Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
And you got these giant truck beds sticking out.
Speaker 8 (01:26:47):
Like, okay, listen, they got to get to work too,
but you know you're not hauling anything to work.
Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
And I love.
Speaker 6 (01:26:55):
The thing that drives me nuts is the people that
feel that they have to back into every single spot
a planet.
Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
This place is not built for people to back into.
Speaker 8 (01:27:03):
I do not understand backing into the angled parking spots
at all. Like listen, man on a flat outside parking lot.
Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Perfect.
Speaker 6 (01:27:12):
I love a pull through.
Speaker 8 (01:27:13):
Yeah, I love a pull through, but I've been I've
sat in this garage before and waited for somebody to
do the nineteen point turn to back in. I'm like,
even when you pull out, you gotta.
Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
They're like you say, climate concerts.
Speaker 8 (01:27:28):
No it does not.
Speaker 6 (01:27:30):
That's not because you can't cut the wheel enough to
get out of that spot now because they're all angled. Uh,
I see people do it all the time. I don't
get that. I do not get boy, I'm gonna hold
up a line of nine cars here so I can
back into an angled spot. And I can't use my
backup camera because there's a huge set of truck nuts
in the way. So I gotta I gotta just do
(01:27:51):
this with my mirrors and then hang my head out
the window. Yeah, we got some listener mail wrote.
Speaker 8 (01:28:05):
The letters.
Speaker 6 (01:28:05):
We got letters.
Speaker 5 (01:28:09):
Now.
Speaker 8 (01:28:09):
I want to preface this by saying that this woman
really wanted to cover her bases, because not only did
she send a handwritten letter to me, the original letter
that I saw was a couple of screen grabs sent
to me by our friend Mike Polk, who's over there
(01:28:32):
at Channel three, and he texts me and he's goofing around.
He goes, hey, man, we go way back your friend.
You don't have to write fake fan letters. Ha ha ha,
you know, and proceeds to send me a couple of
screen grabs of the letter that this woman wrote him
about how unbelievably amazing Alan Coxy is rot.
Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (01:28:56):
You get a mention in there too. I'm writing to
submit an idea for consideration. Polk does a thing a
Channel three. They're called like the he anchors, but he
does like a thing called front row or something like
that that spotlights certain people. Yeah, and this woman I'm
going to paraphrase her letter, but she basically goes on
(01:29:16):
to talk about how well she writes two words, Alan Cox.
I know he has his own show, but maybe something
to showcase he has many talents?
Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Rob, did you know I had many talents?
Speaker 8 (01:29:31):
I had one.
Speaker 6 (01:29:32):
I share a studio with you. I know your talents.
I see him every day, which you can do. How
you can scratch your back with that?
Speaker 2 (01:29:38):
Really? Ben in your incredible.
Speaker 8 (01:29:43):
Since you and he are friends, you know what a
unique individual he is, she writes, So he's a great
interviewer with respect to music. He's a savant. That means
a good right rain man of music. Wow, he's a
(01:30:04):
great interviewer. Wow, he's a great comic. The less time
he did come, I have done stand up in forever.
I think some type of segment with him would be phenomenal.
She just writes this amazing letter. I don't think people
would argue with me, and then parenthetically at the end,
(01:30:26):
rop h his co host, Rob is no slouch in
the entertainment industry either.
Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Slouch.
Speaker 8 (01:30:35):
I'm a savant. You're no slouch. How about that.
Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
I'd like to stop and thank my mommy for submitting
that letter she wrote, handwrites polka letter.
Speaker 8 (01:30:45):
And then I come in today and you know, whatever
mail I get is put on the desk that I
sit at there in the morning before I come in here,
and she's written a similar letter to me. She could
covering her basis saying the same thing. It couldn't have
been nicer. I mean, again, I'm flabbergasted by this person
reaching out. I appreciate how hard you work and all
(01:31:08):
the time you put into your show for us fans.
Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Wow, people being nice, Like I'm not used to this.
Speaker 8 (01:31:18):
Well, I mean it's it's very very nice. But I'm like,
you know, Mike Polk is a busy man. He's got
his own ideas about how to conduct his own business
over it, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
And uh, nobody wants me on television.
Speaker 8 (01:31:35):
This is the law, you know. The My stretch in
Cleveland is the other than I filled in on the
morning news years ago on Channel three. This is the
longest stretch I've ever not had a TV gig. Everywhere
I've worked, I've had radio, and I've done a TV gig.
The longest stretch cause I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
I'm not the new hotness route. I'm old and busted.
Speaker 8 (01:31:56):
I get it. Yes, golly, she's trying to cover her anyway.
It's a very very nice letter, Thank you so much.
But you know, Mike Polk's got he's a busy guy.
He's got stuff to do. Hey, didn't he just get
married recently?
Speaker 10 (01:32:11):
Rob?
Speaker 8 (01:32:11):
You know he did?
Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
And I know I was at the wedding, and you're
mocking me. I'm not mocking.
Speaker 6 (01:32:15):
I just heard that it was the social event of
the year.
Speaker 8 (01:32:19):
It certainly was. Who was there, Oh, golly one, Timothy
Disney Esquire, wow one, David Schadowski from Channel three Sports,
holy cow one, probably a lot of his of course,
wife is lovely bride, Stephanie, who's accomplished, accomplished broadcaster in
her own right.
Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
And oh, just no shortage. I was there, Rob, huh,
I was among the.
Speaker 8 (01:32:47):
Elite. Normally.
Speaker 2 (01:32:48):
I'm happy to be included in the hoy POLOI.
Speaker 8 (01:32:54):

fancy pants. Yeah, our friend James Renner was there, James
Burge junior, local funny man and musician in his own right,

Speaker 6 (01:33:23):

I was in the back few rows of tables. But
I'm happy you were there. I was pleased to be invited.
Speaker 8 (01:33:36):
Built one Williams Squire one mary Lyn Santra.
Speaker 6 (01:33:40):
Yeah, come on.
Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Allen Cox show on one.
Speaker 7 (01:33:50):
When you realize things could always be worse, he'll be
here to'll prove you right.
Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
Correct, Allan Cocks.
Speaker 8 (01:34:08):
Jack White, newly inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame, one half of the White Stripes, will work
with the Rack on the tours. He's doing the NFL
Thanksgiving halftime show. That's pretty exciting. Hometown Lions playing the
pack of Green Bay and they got Jack White can
do the halftime. You think he'll bring out Kendrick Lamar.
(01:34:31):
You think he'll bring out glow Rilla. You think he'll
do a collab with.
Speaker 6 (01:34:39):
I don't know, probably not.
Speaker 8 (01:34:41):
You don't think so, No, you don't think that he'll
try to mimic the big game, you know, the Super Bowl,
superb Owl.
Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
No, I think he will just rock it.
Speaker 8 (01:34:50):
You think, yes, all right, well listen, as far as
I'm concerned, Jack White can do no wrong. I'm sure
in his own home he can. I'm sure if you
didn't like put away the dishes or something right, the
married guy again and he married again, married a few times.
Might be hard to uh keep a man like Jack
(01:35:11):
White down, but he has been tapped a headline the
halftime show Lions, Green Bay Packers on the big holiday Thanksgiving.
That was my first big radio event with listeners. Was
when I had to take a truck. I had just
started in Kalamazoo, Michigan on Labor Day of ninety five,
(01:35:32):
and that thanks Giving Day game when they used to
play at the Pontiac Silver Dome, which has long since
fallen into disrepair, and I had to I drew the
short straw. None of the like you know, other people
on staff were gonna work Thanksgiving and I didn't have
(01:35:53):
any local family or anything. So I had to host
a bus to Detroit full of listeners. And back then
it was usually the Lions and the Bears, so.
Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
I had some skin in the game. No Tigers, it's football, Rob.
Speaker 8 (01:36:12):
I'm sorry, Lions, Tigers and Bears. I just assumed all
went together. No, sorry, you're thinking of the cowardly Brian
is what you're thinking of? Right room, Bryan, tell what.
Speaker 12 (01:36:24):
A lush I would show compash.
Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
Lovely of the photos looks like we made it.
Speaker 12 (01:36:45):
We shallow.
Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
Again, I hope. I wonder if it's intentional.
Speaker 8 (01:36:51):
I don't think that it is, and I'm hoping that
this doesn't send him spiraling into trying something new. I
want Brian to be himself. I want him to be
the consummate artist that he has been. I know he's
not everybody's cup of tea, right some people he's like,
he's like r em is. To me, it's fine, But
(01:37:11):
the sooner it's over, happier I'll be. I know that's
how some people regard Brian. People who is in the
middle of the road with Brian. People either love Brian
or they can't stand it.
Speaker 13 (01:37:23):
And so.
Speaker 8 (01:37:25):
Anyway, I had a host I say had to, but
it was still fun. Right I was the new guy
on staff. You're trying to get in front of people,
so I was introducing myself to them as much as
they were introducing themselves to me. Barry Sanders was still
playing for the Detroit Lions. Charlie Batch was their quarterback.
He would go on to become the backup in Pittsburgh
(01:37:46):
right about the time that I moved there. So Lions
game Thanksgiving Day, Pontiac Silver Dome, Me and a bust
full of listeners.
Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
That was like my first big event as an air personality,
rob back in the day. Now, it's a good one
to have.
Speaker 8 (01:38:06):
Of course, Ford Field is where they play now. But
Jack White will do that halftime show lies Packers. I'll
THANKSGIVC Dame who's playing tonight.
Speaker 6 (01:38:22):
I gotta be honest with MNF. I got so beat
this weekend in fantasy football.
Speaker 8 (01:38:27):
Oh you did.
Speaker 6 (01:38:28):
Every single player on my team got injured. So I
still Cowboys Raiders. Yeah, So to me, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (01:38:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
You got crushed, crushed?
Speaker 8 (01:38:37):
Yeah. Thanksgiving Day games are Packers in Detroit, Chieves in Dallas,
and the Bengals in Baltimore. There you go at half
past noon, four thirty and eight twenty respectively. So there
you go. THANKSGIVOC Day. Football Football's not on on th
(01:39:00):
Thanksgiving when I go home, really yeah, well can you
put it on? I could, but I don't think anybody cares,
you know. So Jack White is going to do the
Detroit show post malone, and Lil John will do the
other games? Why why not?
Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
I you know?
Speaker 6 (01:39:23):
Only so?
Speaker 8 (01:39:24):
No, just why I've had enough of the post malone?
Oh really yeah? Yeah, but he's a country artist now.
Wrote right, Dallas, the Dallas game will get post malone,
and Lil John will do that other game, the Dallas
Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show.
Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
That'll be post malone this year.
Speaker 8 (01:39:46):
Last year was Jelly Roll Dolly Parton. The year before that,
Jonas brothers. Ellie Goulding remember her twenty nineteen? Wow, what
happened to her? She had a jaw like a lantern. Yeah,
it's cute though, where'd she go? It was like a
(01:40:06):
British singer who had a couple of his lights.
Speaker 6 (01:40:10):
Yeah, the.
Speaker 8 (01:40:15):
Nailed it is Ellie Goulding in the room she is, Oh,
that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:40:20):
Yeah yeah, but you didn't know that, did you?
Speaker 6 (01:40:23):
Sure did not.
Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
I can't say that anymore.
Speaker 8 (01:40:28):
An email from Matt Allen, I finally did that ten
second thing through.
Speaker 2 (01:40:31):
A movie that you always used to talk about.
Speaker 8 (01:40:34):
It's watching that Shark movie under Paris on Netflix still
the only time I ever did it, and I'm so
glad I did with that movie.
Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
Even though I was constantly doing it, it was still
not fast enough.
Speaker 8 (01:40:46):
People had real thoughts on this when I divulged years
ago that I'll watch some shows and I'll ten second
my way through it.
Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Because there's some shows, you.
Speaker 8 (01:40:55):
Know, in an age where they have to take a
minimal amount of story and expand it into ten episodes,
and that's just for the limited series. Movies themselves are
a lot longer than they need to be two, and
so there are some shows where I like the show,
but boy does it take a long time for something
to happen, And so you'll just bomb through it ten
(01:41:16):
second my way through, and people go, oh, but you
miss so much.
Speaker 2 (01:41:19):
I go, that's a point though.
Speaker 8 (01:41:21):
You can tell if you're missing something, and then I'll
go ten seconds back, I'll catch up. But you ten
second your way through some of these shows, and I
get it. People well that that depletes or diminishes the experience,
and I'll say, Okay, that's fine, then don't do it.
Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
But I'm telling you I did it.
Speaker 8 (01:41:41):
It was a few years back I was watching this
zombie show called Black Summer and it was good. Fitted
a couple seasons of it over there on Netflix. I
liked the premise. It was a spin off of some
other zombie show it and watch, but I liked it.
But Jesus zombie shows in particular, there's a lot of
walking around, a lot of gripping your firearm and looking
(01:42:03):
around trees and trying to figure out if there's something
in that barn. And I'm like, Okay, did you fast
forward through Death by Lightning at all?
Speaker 17 (01:42:10):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:42:11):
I liked that a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
I'm only like a I don't even think I'm done
with the first episode. Oh, I love it.
Speaker 6 (01:42:17):
I might be a couple of minutes into the second episode.
It's great and we I text you over the weekend
about it. The subject matter something I had never thought
about and is addressed in the show.
Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
They actually talk about that.
Speaker 8 (01:42:35):
This is a show. I saw no promotion I whatsoever.
They just dropped it on Netflix called Death by Lightning.
The cast is stacked, but it's about James Garfield and
Charles Guitaux, who is the guy who assassinated President James
Abram Garfield.
Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
Three months into his presidency.
Speaker 13 (01:42:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:42:53):
So it's like Nick Offerman and Matthew mcfaden from Succession
and Michael Shannon and Brad Whitford. You know, the cast
is unbelievable and they're all obviously, you know, hiding under
nineteenth century beards.
Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
That's why I spent the ladies.
Speaker 6 (01:43:06):
I spent the first to the first two episodes thinking, uh,
Shay Wingham was was Tom Segura?
Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
I swear to god, I'm like, I didn't know Sigura
had chops.
Speaker 8 (01:43:15):
That would have been amazing if Tom Sigora played one
of these nineteenth centuries just like him, like just like him.
Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
Yeah, but it's gotta be fun.
Speaker 8 (01:43:27):
To do one of those shows where you just grow
a beard and go and we need a man who
can set you know.
Speaker 6 (01:43:32):
Yeah that that dude from Succession was incredible in matthewmcfaith,
Oh my god, that like the just the visuals of
mental illness coming and it's really good. I think you're
gonna enjoy the last three episodes, maybe even more than
the first.
Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
Oh so you've plowed through the whole thing. We watched
one night.
Speaker 8 (01:43:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
I never do that ever, ever, ever, ever, But we
were home alone. It was Melissa and I. But there's
only four episodes, right, Yeah, yeah, each.
Speaker 6 (01:43:57):
One's like I don't know, forty forty five minutes to
an hour. We never do that, and I was like,
I can't. I mean, I know how the end, I
know how it ends, but I want to know how
they end it. And it was really good.
Speaker 4 (01:44:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:44:10):
Does does President Garfield live in this one?
Speaker 4 (01:44:13):
Rob?
Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
Yes, It's like it's like once upon a time in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (01:44:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:44:18):
The last episode was directed by Quentin Tarantinos. Kills all
the kids and they do anything happened Happily ever after.
Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
It's great.
Speaker 6 (01:44:25):
It's really great, and they do address the fact that,
like who are those people again?
Speaker 8 (01:44:31):
You thought Shaye Wigham was Tom Sigora And when I
was looking at the cast, I was like, oh my god,
the bass player from Aerosmith is in this ah, But no,
of course it was famed actor Bradley Whitford, who was
also in the Diplomat with Carrie Russell this season.
Speaker 6 (01:44:51):
He was Bradley Whitford was great in this show.
Speaker 8 (01:44:54):
They're all good.
Speaker 6 (01:44:55):
It was it's a it's really really good. You're a
historical time pieces at all and I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
Not, But you gotta have a cast like this to
pull you through it and make you watch it.
Speaker 6 (01:45:04):
Right, I'm still trying to finish the Ken Burns country
music documentary Reality.
Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
That's why it's good. You're trying to start things.
Speaker 6 (01:45:10):
You sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:45:13):
Nick Offerman's great, great, great in this.
Speaker 3 (01:45:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
Oh I love it. I couldn't give a better thumbs up.
Very nice. I liked it a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:45:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:45:23):
I mean again, when you look at these streamers and
you go, how are they green lighting some of these things,
I'm surprised that they were like, oh, yeah, we're going
to do a four part limited series on the assassination
of President Garfield.
Speaker 6 (01:45:37):
But you know what, though, there's stuff that you learn,
like I did not. I didn't know that he wasn't
supposed to be a candidate. No, I never knew that story. Like,
I never knew that that's how that happened. I gave
and said to my wife, I'm like, that's wild when
you think about where we are in American history and
the way things work now, Like back then they were
like he's he was so good that they were like yeah, yeah, no, no,
(01:45:59):
you see that guy that's sitting right there that's supposed
to be the nominee. Screw him, that guy can get bent,
and we're gonna put our support behind this unknown.
Speaker 8 (01:46:07):
Well, but this is a show too that is there
because of the overall deal that the producers signed. Sure,
so it's like the guys behind Game of Thrones signed
this big deal with Netflix few years ago, and so
they dropped. They if you watched Three Body Problem, which
was an adaptation of this Chinese sci fi thing the
(01:46:27):
Netflix aired, which was real dense, but it was entertaining.
So these guys that get these massive deals with Netflix
or any other streamer, right, Sandler has on with Netflix,
and uh so the guys behind Game of Thrones, the
producers anyway, they signed some big deal and this is
one of those shows. So if you get this overall deal,
they go, what's your next show?
Speaker 6 (01:46:48):
We are gonna do. The assassination of President James Abram
Garfield shot by a disappointed office seeker. It made me
want to go back and watch Lincoln again, Like it
reminded me, like it was so good that like, oh,
good for you. You know, I've never watched Lincoln the
Daniel day Lewis movie.
Speaker 8 (01:47:07):
Nope, oh dude, because I generally don't like those kinds
of mood like I didn't watch John Adams with with
Paul Giamadi on HBO. It's a lot of powdered wings.
I love that this country and it's farm and it's
you know, it's like.
Speaker 6 (01:47:20):
Okay, and that's a little more on the hokey side,
but Lincoln is is at least you know, you're not
seeing the powdered wigs in the nonsense. Yeah, but that time.
Speaker 8 (01:47:28):
The irony for me with Daniel day Lewis is that
this guy famously works as a method actor.
Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
Right we're on set, everybody had to call him mister President.
Speaker 8 (01:47:40):
But when I watch his stuff and there's no denying
he's a great actor and everybody has their own process.
But ironically, for me, when I watch his movies, I go,
that's Daniel day Lewis, because you're like, you know how
like Tom Cruise can't become another character, right, he's Tom Cruise.
I mean he's a victim of his own success. Daniel
(01:48:00):
day Lewis, I need to disappear into the character, but
you don't. All I see is Daniel day Lewis playing
a guy who when they yell cut, he goes over
to Craft Services, still wearing the stove pipe hat and
the beard and have everybody call miss President and.
Speaker 6 (01:48:14):
He would only eat things that were around. Then, come on, bro,
it's called acting.
Speaker 8 (01:48:19):
I love those old actors like Anthony Hopkins and Richard Harris,
these guys that would go out and get just lit
up the night before shooting. They're like, it's called acting, Darling.
Try it sometime. But everyone has their own process. I
love There will be Blood New York.
Speaker 6 (01:48:37):
I mean you should watch that. It's not I mean
it's two and a half hours. It's not tell me
what I should watch. I tell you all the time.
You don't listen anyway, So why not.
Speaker 8 (01:48:48):
Tommy Lee Jones is girl Tommy Lee in that movie,
The Drummer for Motley Crue.
Speaker 2 (01:48:54):
He's fantastic in that film. He plays his penis.
Speaker 8 (01:49:00):
I'm Tommy Lee's penis and I'm working my way through
this scene.
Speaker 15 (01:49:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
Sally Field plays Mary Todd Lincoln.
Speaker 6 (01:49:08):
It's so good.
Speaker 8 (01:49:09):
You got to see it, all right, you won't no listen.
Speaker 2 (01:49:13):
Lincoln is one of those movies that when I'm kind
of clicking around and.
Speaker 8 (01:49:16):
Go oh, but then you know what happens. I land
on Pluto, the streamer Pluto, and I end up watching
nine hours of Fraser.
Speaker 6 (01:49:26):
You know again.
Speaker 8 (01:49:28):
Yeah, Tommy Lee's penis. Uh, Daniel day Lewis as Tommy
Lee's penis. It was brought forth upon this nation. All right,
I gotta take a break. We'll send me a text
(01:49:49):
three five Alancoxshow dot com. Alan, I'd rather see James A.
Garfield Zombie Hunter. I did watch Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
years ago, and it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:50:02):
Of course it is. The name tells you it's terrible.
Speaker 8 (01:50:04):
Well, but like the book was supposed to be kind
of funny and I get what they were doing, but
they did not.
Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
The movie was dumb.
Speaker 6 (01:50:12):
H James A.
Speaker 8 (01:50:13):
Garfield's house is in Menor Yeah, I know they call him.
The first episode is called The Man from Ohio.
Speaker 2 (01:50:18):
He's buried right here in Cleveland. He's at the U.
I saved it because I want to go see. They
have a monument to him.
Speaker 6 (01:50:24):
It's like a whole building, the Lakeview Cemetery here in Cleveland.
Oh God, God, you the James A.

Speaker 8 (01:53:31):
Right, what do you mean the ladies. Rob, I you
know I have to bring things to work. I meant
my ladies out to make myself camera ready. My ladies,
you had to carry around a makeup bags. You'd certainly
never know it to look at me. But I do
like to try to make myself camera ready.
Speaker 3 (01:53:53):
Now.
Speaker 8 (01:53:53):
These are dreamy in that picture with Wolfy. I'll tell
you that one. These are locks very low res cameras
and blurrier. I am the better I look. No, I
look terrible these days, and I'm aware of it. I
think I do not, but I appreciate you right next
to wolf long hair, and then there's me who can't
(01:54:16):
grow long hair. So yes, I'm the one with penis envy. Well,
but that's just hair. I mean it's I will say,
I am looking pretty thin. I saw that photo, right, Yeah,
Rob and I. When Wolfe van Halen was in here,
we took a photo with him, which again I don't
do very often because it just feels like a little goofy.
But he was great and I wanted to do that
(01:54:36):
because he was kind enough to come in, and so
Rob and I both posted on our respective social media
accounts our picture with Wolfe van Halen yea.
Speaker 6 (01:54:47):
And Rob is dare I say spelt. I wouldn't say
spelt smelt, but live. It's noticeable when you see it yourself,
you're like, all right, it is work. Yep, and yes
I did wear the Mammoth hoodie now that I didn't know. Yeah,
(01:55:07):
feels a little thirsty. I won't do it tomorrow. I
did it today.
Speaker 8 (01:55:11):
Yeah, But you know what, there's there's really no thing
anymore with wearing the shirt at the band you're going
to see. That used to be verboting back in the day.
You did not wear the shirt of the band you're
going to see. Now nobody cares. It felt a little hacky,
and I think it's maybe to everyone's credit, it's just
a silly thing that people finally got rid of.
Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
I chalked that up to.
Speaker 8 (01:55:37):
Just younger generations saying who cares? But you can wear
see it all the time. Every show you go to,
a huge portion of that crowd is gonna have that
band's shirt on.

you like that?
Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
I don't hate it.
Speaker 8 (01:56:35):
I mean I'd like to put you in front of
that guy that accosted you in the frozen food section
of the grocery store that the year ago.
Speaker 6 (01:56:44):
Yeah, I mean, look, I still look like a low rent,
chubbier version of Kevin Stefanski for sure, but a less
chubby version of Kevin Stefanski does.
Speaker 8 (01:56:53):
Sound like that guy is some willowy dude walking around, you.
Speaker 6 (01:56:57):
Know, minus thirty pounds if you can believe it out
thirty pounds yep. Thanks to my friends at mentality It's
mentality health dot com slash Radio.
Speaker 8 (01:57:08):
I'll tell you what. One of these days, people are
going to refer to Rob as being of delicate build.
Speaker 2 (01:57:16):
I hope for not that.
Speaker 8 (01:57:17):
Oh okay, good, because you don't want to get you.
Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
I don't want to cross that line.
Speaker 8 (01:57:22):
You know what I mean? Older you get no being
too thin?
Speaker 2 (01:57:26):
Yeah, I don't want that.
Speaker 6 (01:57:27):
It starts to look weird and I don't want to
got to walk a very fine line. I don't want
to get super yoked either, like I don't. I don't
have any desire to get big. I don't want to
spend days in the gym, but I do want to
level it out, balance a little better. Okay, you know
what I mean. You're not going to get yoked.
Speaker 2 (01:57:45):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (01:57:46):
Okay, we'll see. I guess you never know what happens.
Speaker 8 (01:57:49):
The body has a mind if its own allan, do
you lift it all a little?
Speaker 5 (01:57:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:57:53):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:57:53):
But for me, it's mostly like I would much rather do.
And I know this is going to sound stupid.
Speaker 6 (01:57:58):
I would rather do push ups and sit ups until
I threw up, then go into the gym and lyft.
Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
I hate lifting. I hate it.
Speaker 8 (01:58:05):
I love it. I do it every day.
Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
Oh, I hate it so much, love it. It's cardio
I hate. Yeah, I don't. And you're supposed to have
a good balance. Jesus, I hate can't. I can't.
Speaker 8 (01:58:14):
I'll run occasionally, but it's like people who like love
to run. I really do envy them because I'm like Jesus,
I can't imagine just a worse fate.
Speaker 6 (01:58:21):
And then there's people that like, oh, there's that, Uh,
what do you call it to me? The runners high
that you hit? Yeah, like, I ran a lot. I
skated sprints for years. I ran like an insane man
all the things I had to do. So you know what,
I never had any type of euphoria from it. I
was pissed off every second I had to do it. Oh,
(01:58:41):
here go do some more suicides. Oh cool, All right, awesome,
this is fun. Running sucks.
Speaker 8 (01:58:48):
Why they're called suicides? Yeah, Ellen, no one actually calls
it the land. You better tell them that because buddy, Yeah,
you better tell everybody else that because they must all
be wrong. Scooping up those shirts at CLI Clothing. Boy,
I don't know what to tell you. Hey, they must
(01:59:10):
all be wrong. Ellen, it looks like Wolfe is taking
a picture of their grandparents. I have to infer that
in this scenario, Rob, I am the grandmother. Is that
what it is? Because I have long hair and it's gray.
I'm the grandmother in this. At least you get to
(01:59:31):
be the grandfather the grandmother. I don't like any of it.
Listen to that, oh, or press, I don't know who
that is. I don't know if it's a sir or madam.
I don't know who that is. Well, whatever, Grandma, what
(01:59:54):
do you think about that? A bunch?
Speaker 2 (01:59:57):
That's what I thank you, Grandma. I meank you. I
love you.
Speaker 3 (02:00:00):
A bunch of assholes.
Speaker 2 (02:00:01):
All right, we heard you.
Speaker 6 (02:00:03):
Calm down.
Speaker 8 (02:00:03):
It's a boner, she really does. Grammy has a boner
for cursing. What owner? Who? What owner?
Speaker 6 (02:00:14):
All Right?
Speaker 8 (02:00:15):
I love you? Okay, Well there you go. Anyway, picture
with the Wolfe van Halen. That show is tomorrow night.
There are a couple of I can't tickets remaining.
Speaker 6 (02:00:24):
It give me a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (02:00:25):
Yeah, we'll see you there. Looking forward to that one
for sure.
Speaker 17 (02:00:27):
In the Cleveland Station November Hill, a panel appeared on.
Speaker 8 (02:00:33):
The window sill with a circle cut out.
Speaker 5 (02:00:37):
Oh what a side.
Speaker 17 (02:00:39):
The mystery grew in the fading line. Snowflake's fallen whispers grow?
What's behind that panel's glow? That's the glory?
Speaker 15 (02:00:54):
What could it be?
Speaker 5 (02:00:56):
A portal to.
Speaker 17 (02:00:57):
Joy or a mystery jingle bells ring As the stories
roll of Cleveland's so fast.
Speaker 8 (02:01:11):
You'll notice that we never divulge the location. We're greedy
in that way of the glory. Yeah, you know we
were asked to now devulge the location. You know, maybe
think of this song other than every waking moment. Recently
they put up the Christmas among the decorations out here
in the suite at iHeart Cleveland. Other were fully in
(02:01:32):
Christmas mode. They put up the tree. It's right across
from your desk.
Speaker 3 (02:01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:01:38):
Yeah, you put up the tree where the ornaments have
all the employees' names on them.
Speaker 6 (02:01:42):
Yes, not only one ornament.
Speaker 8 (02:01:44):
I mean, although that would be easy.
Speaker 6 (02:01:47):
Probably care that.
Speaker 8 (02:01:47):
Would be easier to do. You need a lot less
glue and a lot less glitter. But I was looking.
I got word this morning. It was like a slap
in the face. I got word this morning that one
of our salespeople quit. And she's been here a long time.
I work quite closely with her, and I hadn't heard
that she left. We don't get any notification anymore. When
somebody leaves the company. It feels it's bad for the
(02:02:10):
esprit de corps. So you just have to find out,
you know, months later or whatever when you haven't seen
this person. And the first thing I thought was, do
they go to the tree and remove it? Is there
like any kind of ceremony? Or would I walk over
to that tree. I didn't really take the time to
do it. Would we walk over that tree and find
ornaments of people who are long gone? Oh?
Speaker 18 (02:02:30):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:02:31):
Do they winnow out the ornaments year to year?
Speaker 6 (02:02:34):
They do?
Speaker 3 (02:02:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:02:35):
So I oh, you know this. I watched it this year.
It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. So our
Tracy was going through and sort of okay, this person's here,
she's our office manager, and Amy, our promotions and marketing guru,
walked over and she was like, oh, we could use
these for other things. So it was just peeling names
(02:02:58):
off of them. It was the most like sad thing
I've ever seen because it was this monster pile of
names of people.
Speaker 8 (02:03:05):
It was it's like rendered visually the colleagues we've lost, Yeah,
and the comrades in the last year.
Speaker 6 (02:03:12):
Well, and you think about it, right, like Bill and
Mary were in November. Yes, they have the Jeremiah ornament.
So those things were already they were still there, like
Bill had an ornament, Mary had an ornament, Jeremiah. So
it's like they're like, oh that one. I guess we could,
we could, And I'm just sitting there watching the peel
names all like this is the worst. And then a
whole bunch just sort of went in the trash.
Speaker 5 (02:03:33):
I think.
Speaker 6 (02:03:34):
For like, we had people here with name like who
was that and like, oh, that was a salesperson that
was here for like a year and a half, Like
I've never heard that name, Oh seen that person in
my life.
Speaker 8 (02:03:44):
Sales is more of a revolving door when when you
get kind of some younger people in because they have
a real kind of hard time getting their their their footing.
Yeah no, I mean yeah, but I wondered, Okay, well
then that's you know, for for sure you saw it happen.
Speaker 6 (02:04:01):
I did, and then I saw it like around the
building there's a couple of people who weren't here and
they just grabbed the ornaments.
Speaker 8 (02:04:06):
Anyway, It's like, yeah, well I'm gonna keep it there
the way, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (02:04:10):
Just like there's other like people that aren't here anymore,
and they grabbed like somebody grabbed their ornament just to
say that they like have.
Speaker 8 (02:04:16):
It, give it to them whatever, give it to them.
Oh I see, yeah, not peel their name off. No, yeah,
and again I get it. No, I fully understand. I
just wondered if, and if I'm being perfectly honest, I
couldn't imagine them just willy nilly throwing all the old
ornaments on. So I was kind of being cheeky about it.
But for you to describe it like that, Oh, it was, dude,
(02:04:39):
it was. It was like it hardcore man, Yeah.
Speaker 13 (02:04:43):
It was.
Speaker 4 (02:04:44):
It was.
Speaker 8 (02:04:45):
It was very like and the next year, by this
time next year, there'll be fewer ornaments.
Speaker 2 (02:04:50):
Yeah, like we won't be on there and they'll be peeling.
Speaker 8 (02:04:54):
But it's easy for me. It's only three letters to
peel off. Oh God, isn't the to clit Ratler? No, No,
that's the most festive way to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:05:03):
I think I'm in gold.
Speaker 8 (02:05:06):
And gold who prints up the labels? I think the
that's what we've got to do is find out is
it like on a cricket or something? Or I think
wasn't it what's her name to them all?
Speaker 2 (02:05:15):
Joanne? Another saleswoman.
Speaker 6 (02:05:17):
I think she might have made them Okay, I gotta
ask her. Then, hey, put our names?
Speaker 8 (02:05:22):
Hey, could you make me one that says clit rattler?
What excuse me?
Speaker 2 (02:05:28):
Yeah, no, no, I'm not going to do that on
thank you, And I'm.
Speaker 6 (02:05:31):
Really really hyah jarringly uncomfortable that you asked me.
Speaker 8 (02:05:36):
Yeah, all right, fine, then I'll do it. I'll figure
out how she does it, and I'll do it. It's
like one of those old war movies where they find
all the tags. You know, obviously it's a little dramatic,
but you know these are our fallen comrades in broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (02:05:55):
Yeah, but the difference is, well, who might be out
of the business forever?
Speaker 6 (02:05:58):
At least in those movies, these people were like, oh,
we should return the tags to the families in this place.
Speaker 8 (02:06:03):
They just like ground the names off and wrote new
ones on.
Speaker 3 (02:06:09):
Right.
Speaker 8 (02:06:10):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (02:06:11):
We got a new board. Ops starting.
Speaker 6 (02:06:13):
Don't we require that much work? Like you said, they
just peel the name off. Yeah, just give her Mary's
a ornament. You're fine, right, Hey, one's crazy.
Speaker 8 (02:06:22):
Our employee ornaments are like beer, rob, you don't buy
it is rented. We can Yeah, we can use those forever, hm,
especially since that tree only started when we came downtown, right,
we didn't have those in independence, and this is this
it's only a couple of years old. Well, this is
the third year, right, so it's it's that means the
(02:06:44):
ones that you saw removed this year were just of
the last year.
Speaker 2 (02:06:49):
That's what I mean. Year to year there are fewer people.
Speaker 6 (02:06:51):
So so the year Friar's batch had already been weeded out.
Speaker 2 (02:06:54):
Yeah, yeah, pretty soon.
Speaker 5 (02:06:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:06:57):
Then it becomes when when will we be handed?
Speaker 8 (02:07:02):
Can you imagine if that's how they You know, there's
a lot of companies and this one is no different.
There's a lot of companies that will let people go
right before the holidays.
Speaker 3 (02:07:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:07:14):
You imagine if the way that they begin to do
it is handing people the ornament with their name on it.
Speaker 6 (02:07:19):
Oh, wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 10 (02:07:21):
Now?
Speaker 6 (02:07:21):
I think it'd be like getting a pink slip. But
like they're like, well here you can keep this ornament
as a memory of your to go.
Speaker 2 (02:07:28):
What what happened did you get? I got ornamented? I
was ornamented.
Speaker 8 (02:07:35):
Yeah, I got red bald right in my hand. All right,
I assume they're plastic. They're not like the they are
playing the glass ornaments east Balls.
Speaker 2 (02:07:45):
Yes, mine's red. Are you on a red one as well?
I don't know. I've never seen mine. I'll have to
find it. And then some are like like written like incursive.
Speaker 8 (02:07:56):
Yeah, others are like I have to imagine that the
ones in cursive that look like glitter on glue, like
your kid's you know, project, I have to imagine those
are the og people, you think, Yeah, because they're still here, right.
If subsequent people are just getting your name on a
sticker like like it came out of a brother p touch,
(02:08:18):
you know, they're just gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:08:20):
Start printing them up with the most common names.
Speaker 8 (02:08:22):
I mean you are, but you are one of the
last people of note to be hired here. Literally, you
might be the last person here to be hired. I
think before you, it was carl I'm talking about people
who have colled like outside the market. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean Carletta before you, Yeah, a g issue was
(02:08:46):
at WGA R.
Speaker 4 (02:08:49):
Was.
Speaker 8 (02:08:49):
I think you are the probably the last person to
be brought in from out of town.
Speaker 2 (02:08:54):
That's scary here, that's really scary. I mean there are
that many people in general. There's me, there's you.
Speaker 5 (02:09:02):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (02:09:02):
She's gone, it's crazy, but we do have an update
on our next show phone screener.
Speaker 8 (02:09:20):
Oh good. Now, wait a second. When you say update,
is this something that I don't know or something that
the audience the audience doesn't know. But there's there's a
piece you may now. I was gonna say, I don't
know anything other than the last conversation we had passed
her background check. Oh Jesus say she passed. Wouldn't that
(02:09:44):
be wouldn't that be I'm not laughing at that? No, sorry,
wouldn't that be a way?
Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
She passed past her background check?
Speaker 8 (02:09:54):
So that's good, and you're gonna get her on just
in time to go on vacation for the rest of the.
Speaker 2 (02:10:00):
That's exactly what it's gonna be.
Speaker 6 (02:10:01):
Her computer arrived, she's in the system, and she will
be starting on Monday.
Speaker 8 (02:10:07):
Bye, we have a date. Maybe fantastic? All right, Well,
then we will be introducing the audience to the new
phone screener. We'll be on two days next week because
of Thanksgiving, right, so she'll be here Monday and Tuesday.
Uh huh, then one week, then two weeks all right,
so she'll get some time in.
Speaker 6 (02:10:28):
It's kind of like people.
Speaker 8 (02:10:29):
Will get to know her briefly and then uh their
palettes of everything that will leave them with some anticipation
for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 6 (02:10:39):
Yeah, it's well we started. He only had like a
month together before we took like and last year was crazy.
We were off for like three weeks, yes, you know,
and then we came back and hit the ground run.
And that's what she'll be doing. So I'm looking forward
to it. I can't wait to get her here and
introduce you to her.
Speaker 2 (02:10:52):
She's awesome. She's very, very likable, which these days is
all I'm looking for.
Speaker 8 (02:11:01):
And I'm looking for someone that can answer a phone
that's not me.
Speaker 6 (02:11:05):
Yeah, anyway, Okay, good Monday. Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (02:11:12):
There's been a long time coming, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:11:15):
Now.
Speaker 8 (02:11:16):
They talk about how the wheels of justice grind slowly.
Speaker 2 (02:11:21):
Try hairing a phone screen or an iHeart, So do
the wheels of iHeartMedia grind slowly?
Speaker 5 (02:11:26):
The cock show on one n O zimpic is expensive.
I want to really lose your appetite. You've come to
the right place.
Speaker 8 (02:11:41):
It's the Allen Cox Show on one.
Speaker 3 (02:11:44):
Hundred point seven w MMS.
Speaker 20 (02:11:49):
When he's burning with a fever, Lady's low in the
eyes with the thoughts of reun.
Speaker 6 (02:12:26):
I don't care what you think about Whitesnake Boy. To me,
the high water mark of David Coverdale's career is that
he kept it in Tawny Katain for a long time.
David Coverdale of Whitesnake, who's been on this show a
couple of times over the years. Last time on this
program was Matt had to be three or four years ago,
(02:12:47):
and he's just he just couldn't be nicer.
Speaker 8 (02:12:51):
I'm sure he's mellowed with age. Maybe I don't know
how he was back in the day, but he's just
this constant. You ever talked to David Coverdale, Yes, he's
like a consummate English English gentleman. Yeah, he was living
in Vegas. I think he unloaded or Tahoe. I think
he was unloading his house at the time when I
talked to him. And but he's seventy four years old.
And he posted a video that was part announcement and
(02:13:15):
part kind of montage of his career. He said, it's
a time to retire. He's had a fifty year career
in rock and roll. Time to hang up the skin
tight jeans. I told people for a long time, I said,
it didn't matter what kind of music you were into
if you're a gen xer, and I'm talking about like
(02:13:38):
mid eighties, early eighties, mid eighties, and this is anecdotal, obviously,
but the two albums everyone had at one point, irrespective
of what kind of music you liked, there were two
albums everyone had. They had upstairs at Eric's by Yaz
remember that one. And they had this all titled White
(02:14:00):
Snake album from nineteen eighty seven. This is the one
where David Coverdale recorded the whole thing and then fired
the whole band. Remember that, Yeah, because on the album
it's John Sykes, who I love. You want to talk
about underrated guitarists. I don't think that he ever made
that much of a blip big picture, but I thought
John Sykes was unbelievable. He was kind of in the
(02:14:22):
tail end of Finn Lizzie. I think he did one
album with him, but he did his own solo stuff.
He had a kind of an arena rock band called
Blue Murder in the late eighties. But I just loved
his style and he's all over that self titled White
Snake record. But then they got a guy named Adrian
Vandenberg to go out and he's great too, but they
went out to you know, but that nineteen eighty seven
(02:14:43):
self titled White Snake album, which a lot of these
songs were just reworked White Snake songs, just more produced and.
Speaker 2 (02:14:50):
Glossy and whatever.
Speaker 8 (02:14:52):
But I always had a soft spot for White Snake,
same loved him.
Speaker 6 (02:14:57):
David Coverdale's White Snake was originally two words, was a
joke about his whwang, and then White Snake became the name.
Speaker 8 (02:15:10):
That's true, that's true, you know, and he took his
share of slings and arrows if you will.
Speaker 2 (02:15:15):
You know, he's in deep purple for a bit.
Speaker 8 (02:15:18):
They called him David cover Version for a while because
a lot of people thought he was just aping Robert Plant,
I mean. And then to put pen to paper. He
did an album with Jimmy Page which was great, which
was great. Try finding it streaming. It must be some
legal issues with a label or something, because that is
only on YouTube. I've got the CD still, Rob, don't
(02:15:39):
mind telling you got that Covernail Page CD. It was
a one off Jimmy Page after the firm had split
up and before Page Plant. But David Coverdale says it's
time to go, Time to end his fifty year career,
and he posted a little vide from his dan or something.
Speaker 1 (02:16:03):
And gentlemen, boys and girls, brothers and sisters of the Snake,
special announcement for you. After fifty years plus of incredible
journey with you with Deep Purple with White Snake Jimmy Page.
The last few years has been very evident to me
that it's time really for me to hang up my
(02:16:24):
rock and roll platform shoes and my skin tight jeans.
And as you can see, we've taken care of the
lions wig lions wig, but it's time for me to
call her today.
Speaker 5 (02:16:37):
I love you, Deally.
Speaker 1 (02:16:40):
I thank everyone who's assisted and supported me on this
incredible journey, all the musicians, the crew, the fans, the family.
It's amazing. But it really is time for me to
just enjoy my resirement and I hope you can appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (02:16:55):
Once again.
Speaker 1 (02:16:56):
I love you with all my heart fairly.
Speaker 2 (02:16:59):
Well, what does he mean lion's wig?
Speaker 8 (02:17:03):
Is he copping to? Is that not his hair?
Speaker 6 (02:17:05):
I think he's saying that, Yeah, he hasn't had that
hair in a long time. Really, what it sounded like
to me.
Speaker 8 (02:17:10):
Because it's gray, like why would you wear a gray
wig because you're eighty Well he's seventy four, OK, because
you're seventy four.
Speaker 2 (02:17:20):
Yeah, but he had like hair for a wig? Is
he copping to that being a wig?
Speaker 8 (02:17:24):
That's what I took from it. Why wouldn't he peel
it off a day?
Speaker 2 (02:17:27):
He laughed? The lions lion's wig?
Speaker 3 (02:17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:17:32):
The only man I've got these days is betwixt me legs.
Oh cool that me main vein a lion's mane tail lush?
Speaker 12 (02:17:43):
How would show come push lovely?
Speaker 5 (02:17:55):
Now?
Speaker 8 (02:17:55):
Is that Brian or the Cowardly Lion? I can't remember
the cowardly Bryan fu.
Speaker 12 (02:18:04):
Show.
Speaker 13 (02:18:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:18:08):
So David Coverdale again, he's not really a guy that
you think of very often. And I don't know that
I ever saw Whitesnake live. As much as I really
liked them back in the day, I never got around
to seeing them. And every time they would come through
with like a different iteration, right, he'd go out with
like red Beach or he'd have it just you know.
(02:18:30):
He never had the same band twice. I mean, he
had that kind of classic glam line up late eighties.
It was Steve I, it was Tommy Aldridge playing the drums.
It was Rudy Sarzo on the base that classic line up,
Tommy Aldridge after Ozzie, right, Tommy Aldrich after Ozzy. Yes,
I think Tommy Aldrich was like you and talk about
(02:18:52):
the guy who's pushing eighty. I think he was like
the last guy to hang out in White Snake because
that eighty seven to one was massive for them. Like
I was into them earlier than that, right, I like
to come and get it, I like slide it in.
But they exploded in eighty seven because what because MTV,
MTV Tony Kitten. Yeah on the hood of that jag
(02:19:16):
you are and then slip of the tongue is like
when they came back and tried to follow it up,
but it wasn't as successful, and that was with Steve I.
Speaker 2 (02:19:27):
But I think Tommy Aldridge had been through like most
of the way through and.
Speaker 8 (02:19:35):
Coverdale would put out solo albums, but it would always
say like a Coverdill and White Snake or whatever, you know,
because you had to be associated with that band. But
he was just like a classic British long hair rocker
who just fs Yes, so good for him. Tommy Aldrich
(02:20:00):
is seventy five years.
Speaker 6 (02:20:01):
Old, and he looks every bit of it he does.
But he still plays like a mazing but he looks old.
He's running rail fin.
Speaker 8 (02:20:08):
Yeah, I mean, you know. His hook back in the
day was he would do solos, and as a drummer,
I've never even enjoyed drum solos, but he would play
with his hands. He'd hit the cymbals with his hands.
He hit the drums with his hands like. That was
his kind of hook back in it. Because he played
with like Ozzie and Black Oak Arkansas and all this stuff.
(02:20:29):
Tommy Alders have been playing drums forever. It was a
super group in the eighties called Project Driver, which to
this day is one of my guilty pleasures. If you're
not hip to it, you should find it. If you
like that straight ahead eighties, not glam but super slick metal. Yeah,
they did a one off called Project Driver. It was
(02:20:50):
him Rudy Sarzo, this guitar player named Tony McAlpine, who
I was way into in the eighties. He went on
to do like jazz fusion stuff because you got the
chops for it, and Tommy Singer was terrible. I don't
even remember who that was, but Tommy Alders behind the
drums and he still plays. He's still like you'll see him.
(02:21:11):
I follow a lot of drum accounts on social media.
It's Tommy Aldridge. He's got this huge fro. Yeah, old
man fro. That ain't a wig. You're not having that made.
Speaker 9 (02:21:24):
So I know.
Speaker 2 (02:21:26):
David Coverdale is seventy four.
Speaker 6 (02:21:28):
He's not dead.
Speaker 8 (02:21:30):
You know, he's still alive. He's retiring, he's got grandkids.
We talked about his grandkids last time he's on the show.
But it's a miss.
Speaker 6 (02:21:39):
That's a bummer.
Speaker 8 (02:21:41):
I shouldn't even say a bummer. It's just like kind
of like there's a part of me it likes knowing
these people are out there still touring and playing. Right, yeah,
seventy four and your shirt open, Rob, that's what. That's
how we're gonna start doing the show. When you finally
get to your fight and wait, right, uh huh, you're
(02:22:01):
gonna grow your hair out.
Speaker 6 (02:22:04):
Me and we just want to make sure we're still
talking about me here, Yes, okay, yep, moment movie, Yeah,
grow my hair out.
Speaker 2 (02:22:10):
Yep, huh.
Speaker 8 (02:22:11):
We're gonna wear button down shirts open yeah, down to
whatever dealer's choice, and then we're gonna end every show
with where we interlock arms outstretched and we bow in
front of the camera and then we wave.
Speaker 2 (02:22:27):
You know this like a classic rock show ending. I
like this a lot. This is what I'm saying. Why
can't we do that on my neck? Before we get
together to do it?
Speaker 8 (02:22:39):
Yep, we'll have our new phone screener in here. Yeah,
who hint hint has some expertise in this area. Yeah,
and I never had a White Snake album. Wasn't a
hairband guy. I wasn't either, But that's my point is
it didn't matter what kind of music you were into.
At one point everybody had Upstairs at Eric's and the
(02:23:01):
White Snake album, and those two could not be more different.
Speaker 6 (02:23:10):
So anyway, getting a weird report, I figure this is
the easiest way to test this. Someone said, not sure
if it's just my sorry, not sure if it's just
my vehicle. But I'm not hearing it on other channels.
There's a weird buzz I'm hearing in your broadcast. If
(02:23:33):
you know the sounds like people say that all the time.
If you're hearing that, please shoot me an email or
text in or something.
Speaker 2 (02:23:43):
I hear that all the time from people. Do you
that MMS buzzes the all.
Speaker 6 (02:23:48):
Right, I'm gonna have the Yeah, but that something is
I'll have these dudes look into it, and I assume
that it's just signal interference because there's one hundred point
seven radio station out in Port Clinton or something like that.
Maybe if you if you're hearing it and it's not
something you always hear, send me an email rob at
WMMS dot com. Oh, thank you, And then what are
you gonna do. I'm gonna send it on to the
engineers and go, can we fix this please today now, stat.
Speaker 8 (02:24:14):
I'm working on something for the other stage. I don't
care about the other stations.
Speaker 2 (02:24:18):
Care about this one.
Speaker 5 (02:24:19):
Fix it?
Speaker 2 (02:24:19):
You fix it about that?
Speaker 6 (02:24:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:24:24):
Was cover Hill on the burn record for Deep Purple?
Which one was he on? That's a good question.
Speaker 8 (02:24:29):
Or was that Glenn Hughes or.
Speaker 6 (02:24:32):
Keith Purple Burn?
Speaker 8 (02:24:36):
Yeah, first one with then unknown lead singer David covered
out all right, but he was on Basable. This is
when Deep Purple was at the peak of their powers,
(02:24:57):
and all of a sudden I got a brand new guy,
Ian Gillan Bales right, and they grab covered alle.
Speaker 6 (02:25:04):
Good consolation prize.
Speaker 8 (02:25:05):
Man, It's always the drummer who hangs out right Ian
Pace is still the last remaining original member of Deep Purple.
(02:25:26):
What's his name from Pink Floyd? Nick Mason still the
only guy who's been on every album. Drummer's just back
there collecting checks and playing the beat man. If you
can make that happen for yourself at that level, you're golden.
Speaker 2 (02:25:40):
Nick Mason's the luckiest guy in rock and roll.
Speaker 5 (02:25:42):
Man.
Speaker 6 (02:25:42):
Yeah, he's not the world's greatest drummer, not setting the
world on fire, but perfect for that band.
Speaker 2 (02:25:47):
That's what I mean, Like, it doesn't require that much.
Speaker 8 (02:25:51):
Jeez.
Speaker 2 (02:25:52):
I don't think I knew Satriani was in Deep.
Speaker 8 (02:25:54):
Purple Joe Satriani or Frank Satriani, Joseph it's made that
up Joe.
Speaker 6 (02:26:01):
Yeah, well, I had no idea, it says past members.
I had no clue he was in that bad.
Speaker 8 (02:26:07):
Joe Satrianni in Deep Purple briefly toured with them after
Richie Blackmore left again in ninety three.
Speaker 6 (02:26:15):
Wow, how about that I had, I would have never
connected those two dots. Huh, SA's Riata.
Speaker 8 (02:26:21):
I mean, if you want to be out there play,
if you get the call me go, Hey, do you
want to come out and play space trucking. You go
Hell's yet, Yes, sure do yeah. If you listen on iHeartRadio,
tell me where you do it.
Speaker 13 (02:26:39):
Well.
Speaker 8 (02:26:39):
I'd like to make sure our bureau chieves are represented
on our map. James Listens in Tampa, Florida. Mike's out
in Seattle. Holly and Paul are bureau chiefs in Phoenix,
Steve Listens in Sacramento, Carrie is in Clayton, North Carolina.
Or Brandon moved to Des Moines recently, and we were
talking about like pushy sales people or whatever, and he's
(02:27:02):
like Jesus, I went to a mall here and the
employees working.
Speaker 2 (02:27:07):
The kiosks like vultures.
Speaker 8 (02:27:11):
Yeah, they're looking to you know, hey one a I
these sunglasses.
Speaker 2 (02:27:16):

Speaker 8 (02:27:17):

Speaker 8 (02:27:36):
I laid on top of the Great Salt Lake, barely sank.
Speaker 2 (02:27:41):
Hmm.
Speaker 8 (02:27:42):
Now I am just a slip of a lass. Nevertheless,
this is what you'll hear out there wide Sargasso. See Anyway,
if you don't listen to us on the app, leave
messages for us there or on the after hours line.
Speaker 2 (02:28:00):
Leslie checking in.
Speaker 4 (02:28:01):
Hello boys, it's Leslie. I'm calling to discuss something that
I'm assuming will be of interest to Don Robert Anthony
of the Klitratper family. But every November my husband has
me sit down and watch man movies with him. We
already gone through Goodfellas and The Godfather. Wanted two movies,
no notes. However, I'd never seen the third Godfather movie.
(02:28:24):
I don't understand how this movie back in the early nineties.
Granted I was a literal infant when it came out
was made, and yes I understand I'm very late to
this party, but here we are. How on earth did
a literal incest plotline between two first cousins make it
on the chopping block for this movie?
Speaker 21 (02:28:43):
It was a weird and wild watch that was immediately
in Thanks I hate it territory. Anyway, I was hoping
this was their discussion of manly movies that may not
have aged great and give Don quit Rattler an opportunity
to procus that his tony soprano impression because it makes
me giggle so much.
Speaker 4 (02:29:00):
I love you boys. Happy Monday.
Speaker 2 (02:29:03):
She's christ See she loves it, doesn't she pain in
my ass?
Speaker 4 (02:29:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:29:10):
Uh, calm Jesus, calm.
Speaker 8 (02:29:15):
I like the meme where he's like he was just
talking to him, like somebody dies, what are you talking about? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:29:22):
So Leslie watched The Godfather three.
Speaker 6 (02:29:28):
Watch storyline.
Speaker 2 (02:29:29):
Yeah, maybe Mary's the cousin.
Speaker 8 (02:29:31):
All right now he listen. I want to go all
Megan Kelly defending pedophilia here. But you know, first cousins
hooking up rob it isn't technically incest. She referred to
it as an incestual relationship. I don't think it's frowned
upon now, you know, but it was pretty common for
(02:29:53):
a long time. Twenty twenty four states still let you
marry your first cousin.
Speaker 6 (02:29:58):
That's the epitome of it. Like other than siblings, it
doesn't get any closer than fun.
Speaker 8 (02:30:03):
But I thought, I thought legally, like I know, technically
incense is like blood relative, but I thought when you
got the first cousins, like you got the same grandparents,
I thought the law kind of look the other way.
Speaker 6 (02:30:14):
That would be like your mom's sister, like sisters, that's
an aunt my kid, your mom's sister's kid.
Speaker 8 (02:30:21):
Yeah, but didn't a lot of people listen. If you're
having fun with a hot cousin, the problem comes from
like inbreeding over multiple generations.
Speaker 2 (02:30:29):
That's what I think people are talking about. They are
not a place to go to meet women. Family reunions
are not.
Speaker 8 (02:30:34):
The solution, they say, Rob, if you can't keep it
in your pants, keep it in the family.
Speaker 2 (02:30:41):
Now what they say. Unfortunately, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:30:46):
Now.
Speaker 8 (02:30:46):
I didn't have cousins hot or otherwise, so I have
no expertise in that area. But boy, there's a lot
to be blue dead and who have those kinds of stories.
Speaker 2 (02:30:57):
I made it with a cousin. I made my cousin.
Speaker 8 (02:31:01):
So to Leslie, just zeroing in on that one part
of her question there, Yeah, that's pretty wild. If you're
looking for manly movies that didn't hold up, I think
all of them. I think fundamentally. If you're talking about
a stereotypical manly movie, those aren't going to hold up
very well. Now, unless you're talking about like the rock
(02:31:22):
walking around and kicking people's asses. But the manly movies,
I don't know. I think a lot of them, you
could probably The Godfather was the only one she mentioned.
I don't think I ever finished the Third Godfather. I
think that's not necessary. I pulled the ripcord on that one.
Nobody has to watch the Last Godfather because that's the
one where they cast Sophia Coppola. Yeah, and Tara Michael.
(02:31:45):
Just when I thought I was out, they put me back. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:31:49):
It's bad, just crap. The only way to ever watch
that movie, if you're going to watch that movie, is
if you watch it when they combined them all and
they did the like in order. So Godfather Too basically
starts because it's young Vito, and then it works its
way through and they borrow from each movie to put
things here and there in the right chronological order. That's
(02:32:12):
the only if you're if you feel the need to
watch three, that's the only way to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:32:17):
Three is the worst movie I've ever seen it.
Speaker 8 (02:32:19):
And especially since like Coppola only did it because he
needed money, right, so he had initially cast Winona Ryder,
but she was you know, this is nineteen ninety. She
was one of the hottest actresses out there as far
as like working in success and all that, and so
she's like, I gotta chill out for a bit.
Speaker 2 (02:32:38):
So they put Sophia Coppole in there. Yeah, Nicholas Cage's cousin.
And uh yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:32:45):
Coppola had done this movie called One from the Heart.
This is a guy who, like, I can't believe this
guy ever has money, No wonder he has a wine business.
This guy spends so much of his own money on
movies that flop hard. He did this Megalopolis Ago. He
spent one hundred million dollars or something of his own money,
and it's like Jesus Christ, you couldn't tell on paper.
Speaker 2 (02:33:06):
Nobody cared about this.
Speaker 8 (02:33:08):
And Godfather three he needed money and so he had
won nothing to do with it, and the studios like,
we'll give you this much money, all right. Yeah, I
mean he wanted to kill Michael Corleone. They were like,
new way, I haven't Yeah, maybe I'll go back and
finish it.
Speaker 6 (02:33:24):
It's it's not necessary. Really, I'm telling you, man, you're
gonna it's bad. It's it's a it's jarringly bad. How
bad that movie is. Yeah, with the legacy of the
first ones. That Oh my god, those those those first
movies are incredible. I'm partial to two.
Speaker 3 (02:33:46):
I love.
Speaker 2 (02:33:47):
I don't think I've ever finished two.
Speaker 6 (02:33:48):
Oh well, then now you got an issue. But you know, uh,
that's that's the better of the two movies in my opinion.
When you've got de Niro playing young Veto and it
all starts the olive oil business.
Speaker 8 (02:34:02):
E Veto, I'm running olive oil in my businesses.
Speaker 2 (02:34:05):
That's exactly what he's that's none. I guess there's no read.
Speaker 6 (02:34:08):
You need to finish it.
Speaker 8 (02:34:10):
Oh, it's like I'm right here.
Speaker 2 (02:34:11):
It's like he's right here. Yes, like somebody's right here.
Speaker 3 (02:34:14):
It is good.
Speaker 8 (02:34:16):
Alan. Could you ask David Lee Roth if he's tired
of all these iHeart glitches.
Speaker 6 (02:34:23):
I'm gonna go with yes, I am no, he doesn't
sounds silent. Yeah, that's weird. I asked people to email
me and thank you. I've gotten about thirty of them.
So clearly the buzz is not something that's unique to
one person.
Speaker 8 (02:34:42):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. All right, I should have just played
sat my entire interview with Wolfe van Halen should have
just been me playing these like I alluded to them,
and he played along, but he had no idea what
he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (02:34:56):
Oh I think he did.
Speaker 6 (02:34:57):
I think he knew exactly what you were talking about,
because he's said he has made a lot of noises. Yeah,
I think he knew exactly.
Speaker 8 (02:35:05):
What you want. Hey, were you excited for Wolfe to
be here? M that's somebody kicking him in the Cashew
The Allen.
Speaker 7 (02:35:16):
Cox Show on one hundred point seven call the Allan
Cox Show.
Speaker 8 (02:35:23):
It's for living out radio workplace fantasies.
Speaker 2 (02:35:26):
And if I have to explain that to you, it's
clear you don't deserve it.
Speaker 13 (02:35:29):
Six seven eight one double oh seven or one three
four eight one double o seven.
Speaker 8 (02:35:45):
Your Cleveland Cavalier's back on the for tonight. They got
over on the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night, staying at
home for a minute, playing the Mealy Walk Bucks tonight.
Who are I mean, they're technically they're a good team.
They're technically kind of in the middle of the pack
right now. But Calves Bucks tonight seven o'clock, the Rocket
(02:36:07):
Arena right around the corner. This is when they're rolling
out the City Edition stuff tonight has that we said, yeah,
they sure are They were kind enough to drop off
some swag for us.
Speaker 6 (02:36:17):
Yeah, it's got orange. It's cool looking, uh cool looking uniform.
I mean orange is pretty uh ubiquitous. You have the calves,
like I was, every iteration.
Speaker 8 (02:36:27):
Of them, I thought, has got kind.
Speaker 6 (02:36:28):
Of well that, but this this particular version of it,
like it's a almost I don't know, how would you say,
like a neon, but.
Speaker 2 (02:36:34):
Like it's like a pastel orange is what it looks
like to me.
Speaker 8 (02:36:39):
Hey, you go, pastel orange is what I was looking for.
Speaker 6 (02:36:42):
I uh.
Speaker 2 (02:36:43):
I also am not great with colors, a little on
the color blind side of things.
Speaker 6 (02:36:47):
So is that true?
Speaker 3 (02:36:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:36:48):
Yeah, this is green and red. So this is almost
like a peach, like a peachy orange. Yeah, it's a
peachy orange orange or orch yep, you know some manteau
of those. I thought color blindness was you mean the color.
Speaker 6 (02:37:05):
I struggle with color certain colors. I have a hard
time seeing reds and or like I can't if it's
far away. I can't see apples on a tree. I
can see the shape, I can't see the.
Speaker 2 (02:37:15):
If it's far away. You can't see apples on a tree.
Speaker 6 (02:37:18):
Yeah, you like the red apples on the tree, right,
I get up close, I can see it. Well, how
do you do with traffic lights? That's always my process.
I mean obviously you know where they light up, you know, Yeah,
And it's not but it's not like I can't see them.
Some people have it like where there's no color whatsoever.
It's not like that with me at all. I just
from a distance with a dead middler against him. From
(02:37:42):
a distance, I can't. I can't see the red on
the green tree. But when I get close, it's fine.
I can I can see it enough.
Speaker 8 (02:37:50):
Huh, all right, is this something you were diagnosed with
or I like, if you have to take those tests
where the little bubbles and the number in the middle,
can you see those?
Speaker 10 (02:37:59):
Not all?
Speaker 2 (02:38:00):
It depends on the colors.
Speaker 6 (02:38:01):
Yeah, there's different versions of color blindness, and I just
I think I have a small touch of it somehow,
because there's just certain things I can't see.
Speaker 8 (02:38:10):
I mean the first line in Bette Midler's song from
a distance, the world looks blue and green?
Speaker 6 (02:38:14):
Does that jam you up?
Speaker 3 (02:38:16):
Nope?
Speaker 6 (02:38:16):
Okay, I see blues and greens.
Speaker 5 (02:38:18):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (02:38:20):
I get made fun of from my family often because
of things that I think match and don't like blues
that clearly are not the same blues. I mess those
up constantly, Green, I mess up.
Speaker 8 (02:38:32):
And in a situation like that where most people would
hope for some understanding and support from your family, in
turn they mock you.
Speaker 6 (02:38:40):
Oh yes, huh, but Alan, I'm so near perfect. They
have to find what they can, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (02:38:47):
Also, every dad is just a dick. There's no way
around it. Every dad is just a dope. Yeah, they
laugh at me. Yeah, and they mock I look at dad.
Oh yeah, that's the same Uh, that's the same color blue.
There isn't it, dad. One's navy and one's not. I'll
go okay, I'm not changing ellen there metro parks inspired yes, really?
Speaker 6 (02:39:18):
Why no green?
Speaker 12 (02:39:18):
Then?
Speaker 2 (02:39:19):
I don't know. But it says right on it inspired
by Cleveland Metro Park.
Speaker 8 (02:39:23):
Oh it does? Where does it say that on the paper?
Speaker 9 (02:39:26):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (02:39:26):
I didn't get paper.
Speaker 6 (02:39:28):
You didn't get one of these now here. I didn't
get no press release a thing. It's got a bag
of the buddies. Little novella inspired by the Cleveland metro Parks.
All right, ha, how so let's see hold On says
right here? Uh. Building on Cleveland celebrated twenty two to
twenty three city edition, which paid tribute to the Lake
Erie coastline, the Cleveland Metro Parks twenty five thousand acres
(02:39:51):
of protected green space, and introduce the fans to the
land design. This year's remix revives that story with fresh
colors and details inspired by the Cleveland met Park's role
as the guardian of Northeast Ohio's natural beauty. The uniform
captures the hues of Cleveland sunsets and fall foliage.
Speaker 8 (02:40:09):
Okay, hence the orange. That was a long way to
get there, the pure inge. Yeah, okay, yeah, I was what.
Speaker 6 (02:40:17):
I went and bought that hat last week before I
went to the game on Thursday, and they had all
this stuff in there, and I'm like, can I get
something that isn't I just want the Calves logo.
Speaker 2 (02:40:28):
I found it.
Speaker 8 (02:40:30):
The captures the hues of Cleveland, sunsets and fall foliage.
Speaker 2 (02:40:34):
Okay, what about the hues of the Garvans. Does it
catch the hues of the Garvans at all? The Noland
emerges RN.
Speaker 22 (02:40:40):
While the university or the un mission as whole received
support from all potteries in the hues of the Garvans,
today excuse me.
Speaker 8 (02:40:51):
Yeah, when are you gonna give me a uniform that
captures the hughes of the Garvans next year? All right,
Cleveland has always been a city that shocks the world.
This quote says, whether on the court or out in nature. Boy,
that's no joke. I will say that people who don't
realize what an unbelievable park system Northeast Ohio has. Oh
(02:41:13):
for sure, that is no joke. There's a lot of
blow and smoke up our own asses when it comes
to Cleveland. But that is that is an understatement. Did
you get the page three yet? You see what they
do with the court? Let them know? Is that still
there a mantra?
Speaker 5 (02:41:24):
It is?
Speaker 2 (02:41:25):
But not it's not on the court. It's what it's not.
Speaker 6 (02:41:29):
It's not on the court for this for the thing,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:41:31):
No, they have a special floor.
Speaker 6 (02:41:33):
Oh all right? Does it still say the addition says
the land on it? Yeah, got like the little sun
over the cool All right. So that's a lot of
work then for them. Oh yeah, this is a big deal.
Speaker 8 (02:41:43):
Yeah, Okay, no, I get that.
Speaker 5 (02:41:45):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (02:41:45):
Yeah, they're all they're all psyched up, man, all right, yeah, good, No,
I like it. So it starts tonight. I guess is
the first like the yeah Cavs Bucks. Yeah, yeah, city
edition uniform tonight. So people get these or they do?
Speaker 2 (02:41:57):
You do what they did?
Speaker 8 (02:41:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:41:58):
They like people walk in to get them. Is it
one of those like us?
Speaker 8 (02:42:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:42:03):
No that I don't know. I don't know about that.
I thought, I'm sorry that the stores they have everything
for sale. I'm sure they have. I didn't look to
see if it's a theme night.
Speaker 2 (02:42:10):
But sure it is. Okay, good, good, congratulations? Yeah I
like that. Uh like a cream sickle? Oh, like a
cream sickle or some sherbet.
Speaker 13 (02:42:26):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (02:42:27):
Indeed, Alan, have you eulogized the Kessler sisters from Germany?
Speaker 1 (02:42:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (02:42:36):
Who were they? Who's that? Alice and Ellen Kessler ended
their lives together?
Speaker 6 (02:42:46):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (02:42:47):
They were once famous entertainers chose to end their lives
on the same day. These are the Kessler sisters and
happier times Mark Schnell loss.
Speaker 6 (02:43:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:43:01):
Okay, well by you've asking these Christians?
Speaker 8 (02:43:06):
They died today, choosing to end their lives together through
medical aid in dying.
Speaker 6 (02:43:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:43:14):
The renowned German entertainers quote no longer wanted to live.
They were quite so.
Speaker 8 (02:43:20):
Neither of these women are married then or you know,
they're just sisters who may be inseparable and still want
to be celebrities. Requested that their ashes be buried in
the same urn, alongside their mother and dog. They both
died at age eighty nine in their home near Munich
after choosing medical aid in dying. Renowned German sisters who
(02:43:41):
reached international stardom in the fifties and sixties. Yeah, why
do you want to eighty nine in Germany living with
your sister?
Speaker 2 (02:43:50):
Why would you want to keep going?
Speaker 8 (02:43:52):
And for our final act? Given credit for doing it
that long. It's different from euthanasia. Medical eight in dying
has been legal in Germany for about six years, different
from youth in Asia which is illegal.
Speaker 2 (02:44:05):
This is one of these like loopholes.
Speaker 8 (02:44:07):
You know, the patients themselves administer the prescribed drugs to
end their lives rather than a doctor. This is them
saying like, look, doctors can't be out. We don't want
doctors being on the hook for this right, We don't
want the medical professionals to handle it.
Speaker 2 (02:44:20):
If you want to take yourself out.
Speaker 13 (02:44:22):
But what do.
Speaker 2 (02:44:24):
What do the youth in Asia have anything wrong?
Speaker 6 (02:44:27):
You with two sisters in Germany.
Speaker 8 (02:44:31):
I'll tell you what they have in common, Rob, they
have the kinship of all men and women around the world.
Speaker 6 (02:44:39):
I just didn't see.
Speaker 8 (02:44:39):
We're not separated by borders or politics.
Speaker 2 (02:44:43):
I just didn't see what that had to do with
their suicide. We're all.
Speaker 8 (02:44:47):
Children of the stars, Rob, we are all literally made
of star dust. The Kessler twins, I mean, look at them,
the picture of health that's earlier this year. It's a
problem with ad. I wonder when they came to the decision.
One of them had to have the idea first. This morning,
(02:45:09):
goes to the other one and goes, now, listen, We've
said it before.
Speaker 2 (02:45:14):
The only real choice that you have.
Speaker 8 (02:45:17):
You talked to a neuroscientist will tell you there's really
no such thing as is freedom of choice, because your
brain fires things before you know you've won them, right,
So the only real choice you have in your entire
life is to end it.
Speaker 2 (02:45:31):
So, but you know, no re entry as it were.
Speaker 8 (02:45:36):
So one of the sisters had to have had the
idea first and goes to the other one and goes, hey,
I got a wild idea. Let's stop living. You're eighty nine.
I'm eighty nine. We've been living together forever. They were
born in nineteen thirty six, you know, and so at
(02:45:56):
their peak they were like a big deal and that's
probably hard to come back from. So whoever texted me
that I had never heard of them before, but they
were a big, big deal before my time, and they
chose to stop doing their thing. Did they stop?
Speaker 2 (02:46:18):
Yes, they unalive to them.
Speaker 8 (02:46:22):
I wonder if they put on special clothes, if they
put back on the fish nets, like the pork pie hat.
Speaker 6 (02:46:31):
Yeah, the last time we do this.
Speaker 2 (02:46:37):
All.
Speaker 8 (02:46:37):
And I like how Cleveland celebrates the protection of our
metro parks in cities like Miami just do The Miami
Vice theme was that they just played the Miami Vice team,
all right, Well I don't know. Oh, speaking of which,
I so I get sucked into Miami Vice. So I
have Roku, you know, listen, I have every streamer, but
on Roku they have their own live TV. Even if
(02:47:01):
you don't have anything else, you can go into that
Roku like and it's all really like obscure stuff. So
there's a lot of news channels, but there's a ton
of stuff there. Well, they have full channels devoted to
one show. One of those channels is Miami Vice. And
so I'm clicking around over the weekend and I go,
screw it. I just happened to stumble onto one as
(02:47:21):
it was starting. I'm gonna watch some Miami Vice. They
have a Quantum Leap channel. Quantum Leap channel. They got
one that just shows the Goldbergs. They got one that's
all Frasier and cheers. Anyway. A lot of commercials in
these shows, but who cares. There's one that's just Laaranata.
Speaker 18 (02:47:36):
Right.
Speaker 8 (02:47:36):
I sit around watch, Hey, what are you doing? I'm
back homing Providence watching Lara.
Speaker 6 (02:47:43):
That what I had on.
Speaker 2 (02:47:46):
He knows not to call at this time.
Speaker 6 (02:47:47):
I'm watching. Oh that's what good friend of mine in
Pittsburgh was originally from Providence, and he was just like,
I go, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:47:53):
I'm watching a Larana?
Speaker 18 (02:47:55):
Right?
Speaker 5 (02:47:57):
What time is it?
Speaker 2 (02:47:58):
Seven thirty?
Speaker 4 (02:47:59):
Right?
Speaker 8 (02:47:59):
Yeah, dude, I'm i'd La Nana. Anyway, the Miami Vice
channel I click in happens to be an episode with
a young Liam Neeson. Guy was in his mid thirties.
By the way, this is not a guy who got
famous as a kid. He was not like a young
man when he got famous. Liam Needson didn't bow up
till he was almost forty. But there was an episode
(02:48:21):
of Miami Vice with Liam Neeson and he's playing this
guy who's like this was eighties obviously, so its back
when there was a lot of talk about the IRA
in Ireland, right, car bombs going off, all that kind
of stuff, And he was a guy who was pretending
to be a pacifist so that he could try to
(02:48:43):
cause a plane crash or something. But a young Liam
Neeson on Miami Vice. As I'm clicking through, also, you
might not recall Rob a very young Don.
Speaker 6 (02:48:56):
Johnson on that show.
Speaker 8 (02:48:58):
Strangely enough worth looking into. Remember that show, I assure
d you Miami Vice, Miami Yes, uh so, Yeah, congratulations
to liamnes for his early work.
Speaker 2 (02:49:18):
My whole thing just crashed. That's fine, no problem.
Speaker 6 (02:49:21):
Which computer?
Speaker 4 (02:49:22):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (02:49:22):
The front one?
Speaker 8 (02:49:23):
Oh good? Hey listen, nothing in there you need no hey,
I got some kids corners. Hello, kids corner.
Speaker 2 (02:49:40):
I love how upset.
Speaker 8 (02:49:44):
People get over the six seven thing, right, It is annoying,
but who cares. You Gotta find your enjoyment wherever you
can in this fading republic, and if distractions among the
youths the best you can hope for than fine. Sixty
seven is taking over college basketball games. Have you seen
(02:50:07):
in the footage of these games? High school games, college games.
Anytime a team reaches sixty seven points, everybody goes nuts.
There was a video the other night of I don't
know it was a high school game or what. It was,
some podunk game I think, where they showed a mercy
rule the one team because it was like sixty five
(02:50:28):
to two or something like that, but everybody's cheering because
they're gonna get to sixty seven.
Speaker 5 (02:50:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:50:35):
It was on a free throw. On a free throw, yeah,
I was Uh. I was watching football yesterday. I was
watching the Steelers in Bengals game and in the second
half it was six to seven and they had.
Speaker 2 (02:50:49):
It lined up Beangals six. Yeah, Steelers seven.
Speaker 6 (02:50:52):

and they just wrote back, oh god, dad, Yeah, and
they laugh because they know what I want.
Speaker 12 (02:50:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:51:00):
Except here's the thing, though, This is so pervasive that
it goes beyond adults trying to embarrass their kids. Oh yeah,
it's everywhere. And that's what makes me laugh. It's not
some like quiet thing that the olds don't know about
and the kids are doing.
Speaker 2 (02:51:18):
It was that way for a minute, but it hadn't
been that for a while. I thought it was already good.
Speaker 8 (02:51:22):
It's hanging on, actually, respect, it's hanging on longer than
most of this dumb crap usually does.
Speaker 6 (02:51:28):
We talked about the video with the teacher. He answered
the question was sixty nine, did you yeah? Talk about
it was like some comedy troupe on social media. Yeah,
they hit six'. Seven the place flipped.
Speaker 8 (02:51:39):
Well because it's like, older like you, know millennials or.
Whatever and he's thinking they're all going to go. Nice,
yeah when he's doing a math problem on a whiteboard
and he hits sixty nine and then he slowly turns
around waiting for everybody to go, nice and they don't do,
anything and he, goes, oh maybe this is a mature.
Speaker 2 (02:51:54):
Group and then he gets to sixty. Seven, else chumping

Speaker 7 (00:44):
It's the Allen Cox Show on one hundred point seven
double U M M.
Speaker 8 (00:48):
A hey, what's going on? Good afternoon, Good afternoon. Welcome
(01:11):
He didn't Coleman in Venez, I always trying to channel
the great Madeline Khan, the late great Madeline Kahn in
the film Blazing Saddles. What was her name? Lily von
Stuck yep? Then come in the in the New God.
(01:31):
Everybody in that movie's dead, aren't they? Melon Brooks is
still alive. That everyone in that film is dead. Harvey
Korman gone, Madeline Kahn gone, Gene Wilder gone. Is Terry
gar still alive or did we miss? Did am I
misremembering the Terry Gard Dyed? I want to say I
thought Terry Gard Dyed no longer with us. She died
last Halloween. He had seventy nine. Everyone from that film
(01:54):
is gone. Peter Boyle is gone. How iron not ironic,
but how age wise that mel Brooks is still alive.
Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman. I just finished the Marty Feldman biography.
Madeline Cohn is gone. The dude that played the sheriff
died a long time ago, right, like he died in
(02:16):
the nineties or something again, Mars. He was like a
character actor. No, no, he played played the sheriff. Oh
Headley Headley Lamar, Yeah, Harvey Corman. My algorithm feeds me
all kinds of Carol Burnett show clips where it's like
Harvey Korman and Tim Conway, the Pride of I was.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Talking about Bart for the one, the lead Bart, the
new Sheriff. He's been a long time, wrong time. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
Only other movie I remember him from was by the Way,
I'm I'm talking about Blazing Saddles. But I'm thinking young Frankenstein.
I'm sorry, but a lot of those people were still
in it, right. Alex Carris, I think he's dead.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
He was Mango.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
Alex Carris died. Yeah, back in twenty twelve. Clevon Little,
I remember him in Fletch Lives in the Fletch sequel.
It was on Little, remember that. Yes, Levan Little died
in ninety two. Okay, yeah, I knew it was a
long time ago. Yep, from Chickasaw, Oklahoma, died of colon
cancer at his home in LA in nineteen ninety two. Anyway,
(03:18):
Lily von Stook from Blazing Saddles and she would say
Vin Coleman, the Venue, that whole thing. But yeah, it's crazy,
and people go, well, Alan, that movie was a long
long time ago.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Yeah, but for everyone to be dead except the guy
that you thought would have been dead by now.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
The guy who's one hundred years old, you know, or
he'll be one. He's ninety nine, he'll be one hundred
next summer. His birthdays a few days after mine. You know,
outlived his good buddy Carl Reiner. You know, we talk
about old celebrities here all the time, just because it
really is kind of just because you're rich and famous,
it doesn't mean you're going to live longer.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Right, you can still get some afflictions.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
You might have a little bit of an edge and
that you have the financial means to maybe offset those things.
But if something's gonna get you, it's gonna get you.
It doesn't really matter. You know, famous people are gonna
die just as just as easily as as non famous people.
But for a guy like that to have, you know,
outlived his his peers and his friends in Norman Lear
(04:17):
passed away, and it's you know, you know, you might
remember an actor named John Hillerman was in Blazing Saddles, right,
he played Howard Johnson in that film, and gen X
kids remember him as playing Higgins on a show called
Magnum Private Investigator.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And of course he did a fake British accent.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
But yeah, all these people that maybe at the time
you might have remembered by face but maybe didn't know
their names. But again, my algorithm feeds me all of
these like crack up clips of Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.
And I've had Carol Burnett on this show before, and
I can count over the course of my thirty plus
career on one hand of the people that I was
(05:00):
fan boying so hard for that I had a bit
of a difficult time kind of getting my head straight.
And Carol Burnett is one of those people two a
lot of you know, people of maybe a younger generation.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
That name means nothing.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
But she's actually currently on a show. She's on a
show over there an apple called Palm Royal, which I'm
not watching. It's a Kristin Wig show that people say
is very funny, but it's not really anything that I
would be into. But Carol Burnett is on that show still,
and she's like a secret weapon there. And so when
you look at somebody like mel Brooks who's ninety nine
years old, and then you know, you when you get
to a certain point, you start doing the math, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I was talking to my daughter, my nine year old,
and she we were talking about how we had the.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
My wife and I had dressed is the Shining Twins
one more time for this party that we went to
at Halloween. It was a last minute to invitation and
so we were like, well, we could do this again.
We did it fifteen years ago and posted some photos
of the time. We both it's the.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Joke is that I'm wearing a dress and blah blah blah.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
But and my wife goes, you think you'll do it
again in fifteen years when you're seventy, and I go,
oh my god, literally, I mean literally, I sat there
mouth agape. I mean I if I had lived on
a higher tract of land, Rob, I would have jumped
(06:22):
off the roof right at that point, because this you know,
we're one month away from our last live show of
twenty twenty five, okay, at which point, literally the last
live show of this year will be my anniversary December
sixteenths Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That will be my sixteenth anniversary at WMMS.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Rob.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Nobody saw it coming. But in that you know that
time span again, seventy years old. I'll be fifty five
next summer. So the last round think that I was
trying not to until because people are like, now that's
just fifteen years.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I go, yeah, yeah, that goes by so fast. Fifteen
years goes by so fast. So yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
When it was when it was mentioned out loud in
such a stark relief to me, right, I was like,
oh my god, what.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Do I do?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Yeah, all and everybody else as I'm young at thirty three,
but apparently nineteen ninety two is a long time ago.
Well it was. It was a what holds Wolfe van Hale?
By the way, Wolfe van Halen's coming in here?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yep?
Speaker 10 (07:33):
Hold?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Is he He's not thirty yet?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Is he?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Let me look?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
I think he might be thirty thirty. I guess I
could ask him. You could when he comes in, or
he could ask me, who was horribly unprepared to answer
that question, because well, but still, Wolfgang van Halen is
thirty four years old.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
He's thirty four years older. Ally on March sixteenth, nineteen
ninety one, thank you pell uh. He is in town
a day early in fact, to come say hi to us.
Mammoth and Miles Kennedy are going to be at the
Agora tomorrow night. We gave away a bunch of tickets
for it.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
I don't know if there are any remaining, but we
had Mammoth in for We were like, let's get this
big band because they play theaters and arenas and stuff,
and throw them in a small venue. And so when
the Foundry, which for many years was in Lakewood, one
of my favorite clubs still is, by the way, because
the bulk of a lot of the just brutal metal shows.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I go to see you at the Foundry.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
They were in Lakewood for a long time, and then
they moved over to Brooklyn and we had a show
with Mammoth there. It was like a WMMS listener event
YEP last Spring Sonic Temple Weekend, and with Mammoth it
was a lot of fun, great time. And so they're
at the Agora tomorrow night, and we're gonna chat with
(08:43):
him briefly.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
When we come back, because he's a busy dude.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
But at least now, no Rob, I know now that
he is thirty four years old, and I'll go, hey,
in fifteen years, man, what I am when I turned
seventy seventy and year almost fifty Allan, will the show
advance in maturity in another sixteen years. I'm hoping that
it continues on the regressive path that I have set.
(09:10):
I've tried to not really be too overt about it,
but I hope that longtime listeners of this program realize
the show is regressing.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It is moving in an opposite direction from maturity.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Right.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
I have devoted my entire adult and professional life to
suspended adolescence, and so I can only hope to continue.
I'm trying to at least creatively Benjamin Button myself right.
So when they finally chew my ass up and spit
me out of this place, I'll have nothing left, nothing left.
(09:44):
I'll just wander the earth like Sam Jackson was going
to do in pulp fiction. Hopefully I'll have the same wallet.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
The Ellen Carr Show on one hundredfore best buy to
assist the machines. Dumb down your smartphone by listening to
this crap. It won't even remember how to tell time.

of course see the shining face of one Wolfgang van
Halen on your on your computer screen or your telephone.
Your video machine has been mammoths back in Cleveland on
(10:55):
the end tour.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Let's hope that's not prophetic.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Let's hold it keeps going as long as you want
it to Miles Kennedy on the bill as well.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
He's got to hop up with you at some point
right during the show.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
We got to figure that out. I was gonna say
that guy's too good. I mean, everybody involved is too good.
That really the show is tomorrow night. However, there are
a handful of tickets remaining. I would use the phrase
going quickly. He go to a Gore at Cleveland dot
com for the details on it. But it was not
that long ago. It was the last spring that you
guys did that Foundry show with us, And I'll still
(11:30):
run into people who were at that show who were,
like Jesus, So when we started talking about you guys
coming to the Agora and doing some tickets for that,
how old were you when you understood what your first
name meant? I think when I was like in kindergarten
or something.
Speaker 11 (11:47):
Was it like you had like I had like a
tape machine in my bedroom that had like Mozart La
La by It was it was that direct?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Because you know, no matter how unique
people think they're giving their kid a name, you give
it enough time and suddenly your kids in class with
five or six other Jaden's and cadence or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I can't imagine you were in class with any other wolfgangs.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
No, it's just you.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
Yeah, how old were you when you understood what your
last name was what that meant?
Speaker 11 (12:17):
Probably around kindergarten the same time that's when all the remasters,
you know, the first remasters came out on all the
CDs and everything, and so the boxes were at the
house and I was like, what's this and Dad would
show me in.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
But you're also a guy who's who Both parents were
quite quite prominent people still are, by the way. I
don't want to get off in a whole thing here,
but props to your mother for this whole Meghan Kelly thing.
Your mom, well, your mom is is your mom post?
Did you see what your mom posted? Okay, your mom's
in the news because you heard about this whole Meghan Kelly, Michigan.
(12:51):
As I'm thinking of it, I wanted to give props
to your mom. Hell yeah, because Meghan Kelly was contorting
herself in like circu de sile level type stuff to
make this distinction without a difference that will like well
technically trumps out a pedophile. Technically, these people aren't pedophiles.
(13:11):
Because these were teenage girls, not young girls, all right,
And so she took no small amount of heat for that.
Your mom an actress since she was could walk right
or shortly thereafter, your mom posted a photo of her
at fifteen years old and she said I was fifteen here,
(13:32):
I was a child.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And so your mom's in the news for that.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
And so I would say props to her because and
she didn't mention anyone. Your mom's super classy about it,
which is I assume how she conducts herself, and she
didn't mention anyone by name, but she made it very
very clear what was going on. And it really did
bring it into sharp focus as well, because again, you
know a lot of I'm a gen xer. I'm fifty
four years old, so it's like I grew up watching
(13:58):
your mom on television, you know what I mean. And so, yeah,
I saw that, and I assumed you would know, but
I guess you did not. Dude. I'd rarely go on
socials anymore unless I have why. I don't blame it.
It's remarkably freeing. I don't blame you. I tell people
I'm like whenever it's you know, all over for me
in this the lowest rung on the showbiz ladder.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Right when it's all over, I'm deleting everything.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
It's like if I'm on tour, Yeah, I gotta check
and stuff. But usually it's just you know, I pop
in once or twice a day and I'm I'm like.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
Is it over yet? Is the world over?
Speaker 12 (14:31):
Well?
Speaker 8 (14:32):
It's also spo Yeah, it's also kind of and I
kind of tell people, I go, you do curate your
own experience, like you can't have a lot of fun
with this stuff, right. A lot of people though, that's
not enough for them, and so you know, being mad
is what makes money for the companies, or it really
really does.
Speaker 11 (14:51):
So yeah, you know, it's just getting off of it
is a is very very nice. You're a married guy, now,
how is that going wonderful?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Do you have a wild or no? Is that in
the Is that part of the plan?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Is there?
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 8 (15:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Maybe?
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Yeah, Well, because I'm always amazed at the people who
get married and have never had and it's perfectly whatever
people do or don't, but I'm always surprised. I've had
friends who have that same answer, and I go, boy,
it's nothing that you guys had a conversation about or whatever,
and they're like, no, not really, And I'm like, man,
you want to talk about freeing.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That's a wild conversation I have totally.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And so is she a civilian? Is she in the biz?
Speaker 8 (15:28):
Is a software engineer?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Very smart. I was going to say, that's kind of
the way to do it, isn't it, Because if you're
a creative guy and you're kind of out there, obviously
she's got to be cool with this spotlight being on you.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
But you know, and she knows in the.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Back of her brain or even in the front of
her brain, she's like, I'm I'm the brain is brains
of this operation?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah, and down with that and whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
You know.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
How long are you guys out at a clip? Does
she go out with you at all? Does she come
out meet you along the way?
Speaker 11 (16:01):
I just out here for like a week, and yeah,
I'm going to join up with us for Thanksgiving. Yeah,
my mom's gonna fly out. We're going to have Thanksgiving
wherever the heck we are in between. I was going
to ask me, Yeah, where is fly out?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Wherever you are you?
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Yeah, they're meeting us in Chicago. Maybe I don't know,
I just might wake up and go where am I?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Okay? Right?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
What time? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
And that's it.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Well, and that's what I wonder too, because there's this
romanticism about rock and roll, about being on the bus,
and some people handle it better than others. It's not
like you just started doing this yesterday in one form
or another. You've been doing this for half your life now, right,
more than that. Right, I'm thirty four. I've been doing
it since I was fifteen. There you go, fifteen years old.
I'm terrible at math, So you are right. But yes,
going out with your dad and the band and all that,
(16:42):
and so there's a degree to what you were used
to it, but also like there's a real monotony to
it that you probably kind of have to set your
brain on and go, well, well, it's a part of it.
It's this is my job. Yeah, I'm not doing this
for fun.
Speaker 11 (16:55):
There are fun aspects of it, absolutely, and I feel
very lucky to be able to do what I do.
But it is a job, so I take it seriously
as a job. You know, I'm not drink. I don't drink,
you know, Is that true?
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 11 (17:08):
It's not a party thing for me to I rest
and make sure that I'm as ready as I can
be for the next show, because people are coming to
the show, and you want when people come to see
you for the first time, you want to play those
songs like you're playing it for the first time.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Yeah, you know, it's it's I take my job very seriously. Well,
it sounds like you've arrived at that organically, but that's
also very much kind of of this moment. Music's way
more of a you you have to be more business
minded about the show business part than I think you
ever have before. I guess if you already think that,
I feel like you got a leg up. I don't know.
Speaker 11 (17:39):
I just think I think you know, the way the
lifestyle of it that's been you know, glamorized in the past,
of you know, just doing drugs and whatever. I just
think that's, uh, I don't know, it's it's immature, like
this is this is my job, and I take you
seriously and I want to make sure I'm at the
you know, the best level I can be to do
my job.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
The best way, right, But that was also kind of
very much of that time, sure, right, I mean when
that band came to town. Man fans wanted to see
something fall apart. They wanted to see TVs coming out
of hotel rooms. And now you're like, nobody really puts
up with that anymore.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Like, why would you destroy that guitar? Expensive?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Right?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Oh my god? Well, I play the drums, and when
any time I would see somebody, like if it was
grol and, I would see them kicking over this gear.
And those weren't rich guys back then, right, like you
were destroying your one kid or Kurt was destroying one
of two guitars. It's the old John I think it's
the John Hyatts song perfectly good guitar.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You ever heard that song?
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Why why these stars reckon these perfectly guitars? And I
was like, I don't even play guitar, but I was like, oh,
and they just wreck them. I feel like such a
nerd because I'd watch something and be like, oh, come on,
what are you doing? You know it's but it's supposed
to be part of that whole punk thing, I guess.
And so you guys go out and you playing a
(19:00):
show like the Agora there when you're in the headlining
spot and it's a theater show. How do you kind
of recalibrate for the size of different shows because you've
gone out before you were doing Metallica dates, which is
to call that a completely different Animals the understatement of
the year.
Speaker 11 (19:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah there. If you've seen their stage, they have, yeah,
two seasons, yep, tour. You know, having to play on
a donut in the middle of a stadium is pretty crazy.
There's nowhere to hide.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
But but did you feel like that was going to
be spatially where you like, this is gonna be hard
to fill just for you and for the band, and
you know a little bit it was just like, we
just got to do our best. You can just be
afraid and be like, hey, mister Headfield, we're scared. Just
you have to you gotta do it. No, but they
probably a band like that probably very much appreciates the
(19:49):
more workmanlike attitude too.
Speaker 11 (19:51):
Yeah sure, yeah, no, they're they're great dudes. They were
very kind and treated us with just such kindness and respect.
But yeah, I mean the show we're bringing to the Agora,
I think it's like we're basically trying to stuff an
arena show into a into a theater.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Yes, we Uh, that's what the Foundry show was, like,
that's why people were walking out of there with their
wigs if you saw us then compared to what the
show is now, Yeah, we have a we have a
screen now if you have screen videos on socials, yes,
you know, you know, we've been a performance minded band
for for you know, the last four years.
Speaker 11 (20:25):
But now that we I think we have a show
around us that has matched the level of our playing right.
And I think it's uh, it's it's super cool and
I think it's I've seen it's very fun to see
you know, these little specific moments during the show that
I know are cool and see people react with the
first time.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Yes, like, oh this is We're happy with what's going.
When you interact with fans, I don't know if you
how many meat and greets you do or anything like that,
but just standard stuff like that. When you interact with fans,
what do they recount to you the most? I imagine
a lot of them want to talk to you about
your dad, which is natural, But how do they interact
with you? What do they recount to you about your work?
Speaker 11 (21:05):
It depends really, because you know, there's a I'm in
a I'm in a unique position. So like, obviously there
are the people who kind of just view me as
a bag of my dad's blood and just want to
say your dad, your dad, your dad.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
I get.
Speaker 11 (21:20):
But then you know when people uh, you know, talk
about mammoth and and and how the music has helped
them through a you know, a rough time or something. Yeah,
that's that's stuff that I really take to heart, and
it's really wonderful.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
It's why I do what I do.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Music helps, you know, writing music helps bring me you know,
closure or you know, therapeutic uh, you know, vibes. It's
therapy for me. And so if I can bring that
to any any person who listens to my music as well,
that's that's that's super cool.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Has music felt in a way like a sibling to you?
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Sure, yeah, it's it's kind of uh, it's what gives
me purpose, I guess. Yeah. So I think about people
who trade on their famous parents' name and don't have
the goods. They got nothing, so that's all they got
somebody like you who's out there. There's a thing on
the Agora website a little bio and the artist or
(22:14):
whatever Grammy nominated. But there's a line that says arguably
the first hard rock act to genuinely break out from
ground zero, which is an apt description. I imagine that
maybe they wrote that, but that's very apt to me,
where it's like out of nowhere. I think of a
line Jerry Seinfeld said one time. He goes, when I
walk on stage and I'm working new material, like in
(22:35):
a club or something, he goes, I'll get a lot
of applause because I'm Jerry Seinfeld, But in thirty seconds
if the materials no good, I'm just some other schlub.
And so for a guy like you who's like doing
your own thing, you could be, hey, I'm Wolfy van Halen,
you know what I mean. But if you're not doing
what people want to hear, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I
(22:55):
would have yeah three years ago.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (22:58):
So I think the fact that I'm still here and
we're playing to bigger crowds than we were the last time,
I think that's a testament to it actually connecting with people.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Was there a thought or was there a point where
there was like where because it was Mammoth WVH for
a while, was there a point where you go, I
think we can drop that now.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
Uh Yeah, that's okay, it was that's what we wanted
to from the beginning, but it was a copyright thing
and so oh it was y oh with the original.
So two years ago we were able to secure the copy,
right leg Yeah, okayt next album?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Yeah, dropping it right.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
I mean you can even look on streaming and like
we took out the WVH for the first record, so.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You did really oh goods. Yeah, brand yourself as you
wanted to.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
Yeah, right, So.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
What is the the you know, the sound of the
band to me is so good that you could kind
of trade on that for a while.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Right.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Everybody makes the joke that ac DC's been doing the
same song for fifty years, but it works for them, right, Well, yeah,
it's I mean a band. If a band sounds like themselves,
that's pretty cool, right, right, But you have to feel
like you sound like yourself too, right, I mean there
I think so yeah, but I think that's a subjective opinion,
you know, right, and so the nobody can predict the future, obviously,
(24:14):
but like, what is an evolution that you would like
to see in yourself or in the band? Like along
you know, as you continue, I don't know, I imagine
you're a guy who wants to be wants to have made,
you know, a dozen albums.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
I think every time I get in the studio, I
just like to see where the process takes me. There's
never really an intent. It's just I know, I want
to make more music, and if something sounds good when
I'm doing it, then that's probably what I'll follow.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
You're starting with the music when you're write or you
constantly jotty it's a little yeah Cordon riffs, so you're
writing all the lyrics. Yes, yeah, doing everything. So it's
a little bit of both. Is a is it important
to you that the band is a collaborative thing, which
is a silly question to ask because these are people
that you're making music with and playing with. But is
it more of like, well, guys, here's what I've come
(24:57):
up with, let's flesh this out.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
Yeah, it's a lot. Well with them, it's a live thing.
In the studio, it's it's with me and my producer
for the collaborative. So in the studio it's just you
doing all of it.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
I know you were playing everything, but I didn't know
if that was continuing that way or if that's the
way in which you feel the most comfortable working.
Speaker 11 (25:14):
Yeah, that's just how it's been from the beginning. And yeah,
just feels it just feels like what Mammoth is at
this point.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Was there a point earlier when you were just kind
of getting your sea legs where you thought about I mean,
did you have friends and you were like.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Let's make let's form a band.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I had.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
I had a band in middle school.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (25:33):
I recorded an album with with dad. Yes, in a band,
uh in Mark Tremandi's solo band, Like I did the band.
I remember that, And I mean like something like well
you said middle school. Yeah, now what was that band called?
Was it like, uh, you know Electric Kiwi's or something
like that, or we didn't even have any like original material, Yeah,
(25:54):
because like we just we played like System of a
Down covers. Yeah, yeah, you know we were in middle school. Yeah,
but yeah, no, I don't know, Like Mammoth from the
beginning was just this like can I do this?
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (26:04):
It was a like I wanted to see if I
was capable, right, And then after the first record, you know,
it took me two years, I found that it was
a fun thing and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
So that's why I'm still doing it. I imagine the
first live gigs too, because of the name, you probably
had a lot of people who are curious but kind
of had that mindset of like they're watching with their
arms crossed.
Speaker 11 (26:25):
Sure, right, yeah, let's see if you got it. I'm
sure that that guy is in my crowd every every
time I play.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
You think still though, I mean, it's not like you
guys just popped up. I mean I hear you guys,
and I go, okay, this is a band that people
know now if they like that. I mean, in the
grand scheme of things, I think people still think of
me as a bass player. I mean, if you know,
you know, But if not, you know, I'm still I
don't know. So it's important for you to for people
(26:52):
to know how much you do. Not from an ego level,
but like, hey, guys, this isn't just me. This isn't
like a pro tools band, just what I'm capable of.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
Yeah right, Rather than you know, I'm not sitting here
and going, hey, if you want to hear you know,
the only place you can hear Panama played by Anelan
is here. Yeah, I'm doing you know, I'm not doing that, right,
I'm doing my own. I'd rather fail on my own
than succeed by just copying my dad.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Plus Roth is doing all that stuff. Sure, there's non stop.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
I mean, I I love all those guys, but that
is an easy target right now to really take shots at.
I mean, we have I have a David Lee Roth
like soundboard of you know, and we just beat the
hell out of those because there's made a lot of noises. Yeah,
a lot of noises over the years. Yes, and you
know they're fun to play. But that's a whole different thing.
(27:41):
I mean, that is very much a nostalgia thing. And
he's kind of on the comets tale of what he
wants to do. And that's all fine, sure, but you
are got nothing to do with that. And so when
you talk about what you're capable of, I have to
think that even you are still figuring that out.
Speaker 11 (27:59):
Yeah, I think you should always be reassessing that. You know,
if you're living properly, you should always be growing and
reassessing what you're capable of.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
But you also want to do as many different things
as possible. I would imagine what's the litmus hays for you?
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Where you go?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It just doesn't sound like me or is it all
wide open still?
Speaker 8 (28:16):
Yeah, it's wide open. I know it's a rock and
it's a rock band. You're you're not going to put
an EDM album myself, but.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
Yeah, that's why I think, Yeah, it's it's if it
sounds good to me and I enjoy it, that I'll
do it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And that's what I love about the band, if I'm honest.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Is I mean, you know, there's a lot of bands
out right now that just sort of have that same vibe,
you know, same sort of sound, and you can always
tell a Mammoth record, you know.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
I think you guys are fantastic, happy to have you back.
You can't wait for the show.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The show is Tomorrow night.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
It's Mammoth and Miles Kennedy, who kind of got He
goes out with ulter Bridge and he does his own
solo thing and he's would slash his band for a while.
I mean, just a talent, talented dudes all the way
around the end tour with Wolfe Van Halen and Mammoth.
It's tomorrow night, doors a six show at seven. There
are a handful of tickets remaining, so if you want
to go, hit up Agora Cleveland dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
For the details. Don't hit him up on.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
Social media because that will just mean he's got to
look at it. You're creating more work for him. Just
let him be in the studio and do what he
wants to do. Don't bug this dude, because he's trying
to be out there having fun and performing for you.
The more attention you draw away from him creating music
for you, the harder it's going to be for everybody
(29:30):
to be a terrible situation all the way around. Thank
you for coming in. Pella is very nice to meet you.
Good luck out there and happy Thanksgiving. Tell your mom
thanks for all of us who are still paying attention
to what she does. She's got like a nice I
see her pop up on cooking shows and I think that's, like,
you know, she's got a good thing going there. Whatever
that is. On the Drew Barrymore shund Yes Talented Lady
(29:54):
Ellen Carr Show.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
On one called the Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
It's called the cellular Phone, and it's being heralded as
a revolution in technology.
Speaker 13 (30:07):
Two six, five seven eight one double oh seven or
one three four eight one.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Double oh seven.
Speaker 14 (30:19):
Stuck something stuck in my throat? Rob beg your pardon
something stuck at my drop. Yeah, you need some water,
but the president do you have done? Okay, now I
have my Celsius here.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yes, something stuck there.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Three five two. By the way, if you want to
send us a text.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
You know, before we went to air, we were talking
a little bit of football with Wolfe van Halen in here,
and they're they're Saints fans, he and his palor or whatever,
and we were talking about the Browns, how the Browns,
And again this has become evident to the point of
cliche that they all in this phrase usually a lot
rob that they always find ways to lose.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yep, they go to two and eight twenty three sixteen.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Yesterday I hear at home against the old Browns, the
Baltimore Ravens. And I again, that's a game that I
checked in with occasionally, and when I would do that,
they I think they were winning and I was like oh,
And then I checked in later and I go, oh yeah,
well yeah, again, I'm not shocked. It would have been
(31:26):
great had they won, of course, but they did not. Well,
I just I don't know where people sometimes think things
are going to go. Like the schador came in, everyone
was like, oh, here he comes, this is it. This
is what we and I think he was probably the
same way. But my god, was he craping rocks you
(31:47):
could see. I mean, it's his first shot at it,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I and I think.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
That went as well as you would think someone's first
NFL appearance is going.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
To be well even and if it had gone really well,
you'd have to chalk that up to a fluke. Yeah,
I mean, nobody is going to walk out and start
killing it.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
You get up there and you see game speeds and
you see I mean, look, man, I get that you're
on a practice field with NFL guys, but it's so
much different when you are out there against the best
in the NFL. At what they do, you know what,
I mean, that's it. No, I don't care who you are.
So I mean, yeah, did he have some bad throws, Absolutely,
(32:27):
without question.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
But there was some promise in there. There were some
things that looked pretty good.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
But you have to you cannot expect that he's going
to be veteran QB one first time on the field.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
But but at the very least people were curious. Yes,
they had a morbid curiosity. I think that's probably a
term best applied to the Cleveland Browns a morbid curiosity
about what would happened.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It was funny, I said.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
We were talking about it with Wolfy and I said, yeah,
it's like they just find ways to lose. And he was,
oh my god, did they lose because he was watching
it too and they were ahead.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's when I checked in. Yeah, and he's like, oh
my god, they lost. I'm like yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
And then he talked about the Detroit game, and I
had to mention the fact that I'm a Patriot fan,
because that's what Patriot fans do.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
How about those Chicago Bears.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Speaking of your home teams, Hey, baby, ye see, you're
on a you're on a roll with them.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
They're DWN Chicago Bears. First, they blow a thirteen point
lead and then they win. But congratulations, it's the final score.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
People.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Remember, it's not the fact that they're right, baby, it's
the final that matters. And there my team is another
team that usually stinks. They're in first, aren't they? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Seven to three?
Speaker 15 (33:41):
Baby?
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Oh well you can't always count on that. You usually
can't count on that. But yes, I'm very happy about that. However, uh,
back here at home, and the AFC North. The Browns
are very much a mirror image. They're down there in
the basement with the Jets.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Again.
Speaker 8 (33:59):
No are the Tennessee Titans, who are sitting pretty at
one and nine. But you know, it's not that far
of a fall. Miles Garrett becomes the first player since
nineteen eighty two to record twelve sacks in six consecutive seasons.
That is no kind of comfort whatsoever. But listen, you know,
(34:22):
you get yourself into the NFL history books.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Well, and it's just it's a it's a drag.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Really, I mean, you think about it, right, like, that's
he's going to be the greatest defensive player of all
time in the Hall of Fame with nothing else to show. Yeah,
I mean it's like, I mean, I don't know, unless
they can somehow figure out a way to turn things around,
but man, it it's just they just can't get out
of their own ways.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Yeah, he Leayfrog LT. Lawrence Taylor right did five consecutive
seasons back in the mid eighties. However, fear not, no
one has surpassed LT's record in number of secutive sexual
assault allegations, So congratulations to him.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
He still got his record.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
And eight balls consumed in one sitting. Yes, also one
held by lt yep on the end of a queen
bed at a motel six. But yeah, Miles Garrett four
sacks again yesterday. I mean the guy's incredible. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Let me see here, Alan great to hear
(35:33):
Wolf of Van Halen. March will be the fortieth That
can't be right. Oh, the fortieth anniversary of fifty one fifty.
I was thinking of one of the later albums. Yeah,
fortieth anniversary of fifty one fifty. It's pretty crazy, it
really is.
Speaker 8 (35:48):
I remember that was first album with Sammy Hagar, and
everyone was waiting with baited breath because they were like,
what the hell is this going to sound like? Even
though Sammy Hagar was a very well established solo artist
by that time, So you had half the people going
why the hell would Sammy go and join a band
and the other half going, I wonder what this is
going to sound like?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
And Van Halen it was still my life in the
mid eighties, right, Yep.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
I was just getting into Metallica and then they pretty
much took over, but before then it.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Was all about Van Halen for me.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
It was those Van Halen records that I would listen
to when I was playing the drums and blah blah blah.
I think to this day Alex van Halen for all
of his accomplishments, and there was a good twenty years
where there was no bigger band in the world. But
for some reason, I feel like Alex van Halen is still,
as far as pop culture history is concerned, an underrated.
(36:40):
It sounds ridiculous to say that, but when people talk
about the greatest rock drummers of all time, I'm sure
he's in there. But I don't know that anybody jumps
to Alex van Halen, and I'm not sure why because
they don't.
Speaker 6 (36:53):
Everybody will always instantly go to It's John Bond and
Neil Pierret.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
Yeah, but again, but then you have those are two guys, right,
But if you're talking, most people are talking like top
five top to them. You know, Yeah, Alex without question
is on that list. So yeah, fortieth. But anyway, that
summer that fifty one fifty came out and it was
super glossy, right, super glossy. It was heavily produced. Sammy's
(37:23):
fingerprints were all over it. I remember getting the cassette
I remember sitting on the on my bed and listening
to the cassette of fifty one fifty and going, Okay,
this is what it is now.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
It's not David Lee Roth, but I loved it nonetheless. Yeah,
I never I will always go back and forth between
the two. I have things I love about both of them.
But my growing up you know, we're off by what
how many years? Ten years?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
I think you're eight years younger than me.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
I I have such an affinity for those same Hagar
songs fifty one to fifty I mean next to one
to me is my favorite album of theirs.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Oh it is.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Yeah, like Van Halen, one is perfect. There's there's not
one stiff on it. You can listen to it over
and over and over and over and over again. It's perfect.
There's nothing wrong with it. Fifty one fifty when he
first shows up for me, I love I love that
the first thing you hear is him do exactly what
you would expect from Sammy.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Hagar and Hallo babe.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
Yeah it was they did it. Starts, they definitely got
they definitely got kind of cornier, a little bit, way
more keyboards and colossi And that was the time ballads. Yeah,
absolutely was, and that was the direction I think that
Eddie wanted to go. That's why kind of roth walked
in the first places, because Eddie was like, it's the eighties,
I want to play more piano or keyboards or whatever.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
But could you imagine trying to get along with David
Lee Roth anyway?
Speaker 6 (38:47):
You know what I mean, Like, if you're those guys,
he's not gonna He's just that's an impossible. That band
could not have ever had any type of massive longevity
because of David Lee Ree.
Speaker 8 (38:58):
Well, they were that band when they needed to come up.
And then phase two. You know, Sammy Hagar was famously
a very disciplined guy went with respect to making music
and writing lyrics and things like that.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
He was a solo guy.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
He'd done Montrose and all that, but he was famously
a disciplined guy and that's what that band needed then. Sure,
and so they had massive hits with it. But again,
to me, it was that demarcation line between like David
Lee Roth was like, hey, baby, get over here, I
gotta buy at whiskey, take your pants off, and Sammy
was more like, when I look in your eyes, we're
gonna live Forever and Aliens and Aliens, Yes and so,
(39:34):
but that was what they needed at the time. My
favorite so fifty one fifty was Waldwall hits except for
the songs that I really liked, and those were the
ones that weren't hits, Yeah, and so like good Enough
of Get Up and you know, I loved good Enough songs,
but say they weren't singles.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Now.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
All their singles were like the Ballady Why I Can't
This Belove and Dreams and Beth both were love walks in,
you know, and which is great anyway, I digress greatly.
There fortieth anniversary for the album I love that. I
think it came out in March or April of that year.
Good Enough is what starts the album. That's the the
the hello baby, Hello Baby, Hello bird. Yeah, and the
(40:17):
everything was more kind of it was just glossy summer night,
all of the all the drums.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
It was like he was playing those Simmons drums and
best of both worlds is on that.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
That's that's I love that album, Hello Babe.
Speaker 9 (40:38):
I mean, they definitely came out the game, right, That's
what I'm saying. You're head to, Oh you want to
Sammy intro here you get too. Yeah, do you want
to hear what we're gonna sound like with a new
lead singer? Here suck on this the one time?
Speaker 3 (40:52):
All right?
Speaker 6 (40:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (40:54):
But the song is like the lady is like he's
rattling off like cuts of beef, and it was so
I was like, wow, yeah, like I got what he
was doing. And you know, it's it's out. It's hard
to out corn Dog David Lea Roth, but Sammy managed
(41:15):
to do it.
Speaker 6 (41:16):
On that first record. I was talking to the manager
out there, Tim from Mammoth and he and uh, oh god.
There was a guy sitting to Wolfe's left name Pat's
his uncle? Oh that's his uncle? Yeah, okay, or they
call him uncle Pat, so if not, it's just somebody
they call uncle Pat. And he hands me a pick.
(41:36):
It's a pink guitar pick has the Mammoth logo on
the front and on the back. He says, you know
what country that is? And I looked at it and
I had to show my age and yank my hand
away from my face trying to see what it is,
and he goes, it's Panama. Wolf tell him why that's Panama?
And he goes, because if I use that pick. That
means I play Panama every night. It's perfect Panama, all right, see,
(41:59):
because there was always like play those songs. He's like, no,
but right here, I just played it. Uh huh love it.
I see you've got a couple.
Speaker 10 (42:06):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
It's nice enough to and now I know what that is.
You know, I'm terrible geography, So that's very very helpful.
I cannot wait for that show tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
I just sent off our winners fngratulations to uh no boy,
I forgot his name?
Speaker 2 (42:24):
The hell was his name?
Speaker 8 (42:25):
Way to make him feel special?
Speaker 12 (42:26):
Rob?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Well, hey, uh really?
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Did I not send the email? Oh that's why, because
it's sitting here.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
Oh huh, better send that off.
Speaker 8 (42:35):
I will, or they'll be standing there screaming at the
will call window that they got screwed.
Speaker 2 (42:40):

Speaker 8 (42:43):

Speaker 8 (43:08):
The Agora al Mahllo baby intro is from Shantilly Lace
in case you were wondering, which I know you weren't.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yes, that's an oft used.
Speaker 8 (43:18):
I think by the time they use it in Shantilly Lace,
it had been used somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
So that was kind of heard.
Speaker 8 (43:23):
Sammy's big bumper on the subject of your Cleveland Browns.
Berniekozar went into surgery this morning.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (43:34):
He posted a very early video around four a m.
That he was going to be getting his liver transplant.
So even though listen, it's very very rare there's any
kind of silver lining on a non victory Monday, but
the Bernie Cozar liver transplant thing might have done it.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
He posted another one. Did you see? He posed another
and updated thirty four minutes ago. I'm out and I'm
feeling good.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
I did not see that. No, you matter, Yeah, he's
and he talks, so it looks like he's wait, I matter, No, No,
he says you matter.
Speaker 2 (44:07):

His thing is, and I went to, what's the matter you?
Speaker 5 (44:14):
Yeah, Monday on the football field.
Speaker 16 (44:17):

And you know you're ready for something monumental and transformative
like this.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
In your in your life. He can't help.
Speaker 8 (44:38):
Why does he have a clown in his room? I
think he's honking that horn in there, Rob. I don't
care about car Oh.
Speaker 16 (44:43):
Yeah, I think about all the awesome, awesome support and
fans out there and my amazing children and family and stuff.
Speaker 8 (44:53):
All right, Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Did you see the follow up? I did not.
Speaker 6 (44:56):
No, it's on his Instagram page if you're on it.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Right ay that I pulled that off of his ex page.
I have it here if you want to just hit
play through my phone. He already said, well.
Speaker 8 (45:07):
No, let me bring it up here. Let me see
what he what he did so we can properly. Uncle
Pat is Valerie's brother. The guy just texted, OK, well
then maybe he knew what I was talking about with
the whole Meghan Kelly thing. I don't have the Bernie coach.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
It's fine. Yeah, he's out though, and he's all right, I.
Speaker 8 (45:29):
Mean, ready to enjoy the rest of the week and
the rest of our lives, you matter.
Speaker 6 (45:38):
I mean, he's definitely just come out of surgery sated. Yeah,
but look, man, I'm happy to see him doing well.
Everybody was pulling for him. He was mentioned on every
broadcast in the NFL yesterday. It wasn't just the Browns.
Everybody was talking about him. So it's good to see
him him doing well.
Speaker 8 (45:53):
Also, the guy is still on the team. Have to
be happy that that's getting the lion's share of the attention.
Speaker 6 (46:00):
Thank you, uncle Bernie. Thank God for your transplant.
Speaker 8 (46:04):
Yeah, yep. Shadora Sanders is gonna be the first one
to send him a edible arrangement. That kid is flowers
or something. My god, what's that?
Speaker 6 (46:14):
He is just hard on himself, Like he came out
and he's like, I don't accept losing and this is
on me. And I mean even Myles Garrett came out.
He was like, dude, he kind of came into a
game and he has to, you know. But I mean
that's at the end of the day. That's what those
guys try to do, is own those losses and stuff.
He's got a tough road ahead, man, That's not that's
(46:36):
not that's not an easy place to cut your teeth.
Speaker 8 (46:38):
Well, listen, man, if you're gonna get plenty of practice
owning your losses with the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, if you
listen to us on the iHeartRadio app, you can drop
us messages there with the red talkback button. Otherwise you
can just drop us voicemails on our after hours line,
which is always there for you. It's two one six
nine eight six eighty nine oh three.
Speaker 15 (47:00):
Hey, Alan, storytime here was twenty twelve. I was working
at a grocery store as a young man and I
had to really do sheey supervisor. One day, I'm putting
stuff away on the shelf and he comes up to
me and just farts right on me, like just directly
right next to me. He only did it to impress
his friend that was standing right next to him.
Speaker 12 (47:20):
So what I did.
Speaker 15 (47:21):
I went to the cooler where I know this guy
purchased this two monsters and they were sitting in the
cooler waiting for him.
Speaker 8 (47:26):
I'd take two of my fingers and take it right
up my.
Speaker 15 (47:29):
Butt, rub it all around in spirit, all over the
rim of his monster cans. An hour later he was
drinking it and I was laughing.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
Anyways, I'm telling you this story because I think you should.
Speaker 15 (47:39):
Do that to your selfiest can rub her poop all
around that rim, leave it in the fridge, and then
whoever takes it, we'll be waking tasting your poop. Hate
the show it's shower bombs.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
That guy shower bomb just lost some points.
Speaker 8 (47:53):
Man, I think a shower bongs needs some professional help.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Well, you see, all I did was stuck a monster
energy can.
Speaker 5 (48:02):
Off my ass.
Speaker 8 (48:02):
And I'm speaking as someone who needs professional help. Yeah,
I'm not gonna do that, because what if my drink
doesn't get stolen shower bongs?
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Well, now I can't drink.
Speaker 8 (48:17):
It A and B.
Speaker 6 (48:20):
You would have to shove your fingers up your ass
to rim out a monster energy can.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Do you really want to do that?
Speaker 6 (48:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (48:32):
I didn't even go that far into it.
Speaker 8 (48:34):
I like how he says. I like how he says
he had a douchey manager, but then proceeds to explain
what he did.
Speaker 6 (48:40):
Yeah, I think he might have to join him there.
I showed that guy, I showed that guy shoving fingers
in my own ass to I would think him. I
would think that if he had done that, that by
the time that guy would smell that as he brought
that can to his face before he even took a sip.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
It depends on what he put on, if it was
just a little smegma or something.
Speaker 8 (49:06):
Joke's on you, by the way. You know, I used
to drink a lot of Monster back in the day.
We used to just get it. They would send us
free cases when I was on in Chicago, and so
they were stacked up in my office, and I'm pretty
sure that like poop was one of their early ingredients.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
So the joke was on that guy. The first flavor.
It might have been.
Speaker 8 (49:25):
Yeah, so all right, thank you, shower bongs. That's nothing
I'm ever ever going to do. And the fact that
that's what occurred to you, listen, godspeed.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
I just don't know how that's a big payoff.
Speaker 8 (49:41):
Ah, that guy's drinking a can of a beverage that
he purchased and was really looking forward to, and then
I rubbed my stink finger all over it. Okay, well,
great again, that doesn't make him less douchey, and it
certainly doesn't improve your situation with him.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
I know some people are just looking for what's happening.
Speaker 8 (50:04):
I know that some people are just looking for short
term solutions rather than long term game.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Nevertheless, Ah, okay, but he might need help.
Speaker 8 (50:17):
There's help there, there's he definitely needs help.
Speaker 5 (50:21):
The Allen Carr Show.
Speaker 7 (50:23):
On one hundred point seven, they say, no, man, he's
an island.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
What at iHeart Cleveland.
Speaker 8 (50:32):
You sure get your chance to try? Hello, everybody, Allen got.
Speaker 5 (50:39):
Where did everybody go?
Speaker 7 (50:41):
On one hundred point seven WMMS Secrets in.
Speaker 17 (50:46):
The Shadows names Plame Fiveland, Listen, who's.
Speaker 6 (50:51):
The lame.
Speaker 18 (50:59):
In?
Speaker 8 (51:01):
Somebody? Why that AI never stops working?
Speaker 19 (51:19):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Rob does not.
Speaker 6 (51:26):
One of those.
Speaker 8 (51:28):
Social media accounts that are kind of like the Onion
if fake news types stuff literal fake news. Trump reversus
stance on Epstein Files after being visited by three pedophile ghosts.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
A very Dickensian.
Speaker 8 (51:47):
It seems almost completely counterintuitive Rob that I'm one of
the only people thus far in local media to not
have talked about the Trump and the Epstein files because
it's I don't know boring is the right word, but
(52:07):
it's not like anybody we knew this. It's not like
anybody has some new hot take on it.
Speaker 6 (52:12):
No, but everybody's opinion is going to remain what it is.
It's not going to change based upon any new information.
Speaker 8 (52:18):
Well, what was weird, though, is I heard some random
morning show this morning. I forget where I was, but
it was on the speaker, some random radio morning show.
There was teasing some stuff that was coming up, and
one of them was and more Epstein email madness. And
(52:39):
I'm like, that's the Epstein email madness. Right, We've gone
from megadopes screaming groomer in pizza shops to teasing. Now
the just the latest developments in presidential pedophilia. We got
some of ar Ah Epstein's stuff coming up. Trump said
that he them now to release the Epstein files again.
Speaker 5 (53:02):
This is all.
Speaker 6 (53:03):
I'm sure.
Speaker 8 (53:04):
This is not some newfound commitment to transparency on his part.
This is just introducing whatever the next phase of the
planned subterfuge is.
Speaker 5 (53:15):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (53:16):
But we've spent so long being told that it existed
in different forms. It either doesn't exist or it exists
in some file that's not you know, like everything that
I ever read about it, it changed constantly that well,
it's not really what it appears to be.
Speaker 8 (53:39):
Yeah, but that was all part of them trying to
pretend that it was something that you know, Trump went
from Epstein's a terrific guy to this is all a
Democrat hoax. I guess I don't understand what the confusion
was though, right, But there's video of It's not like
these guys didn't know each other, and so there's in
(53:59):
these emails come out and whatever. Last week, you know,
they're zeroing in on some of the communications between Jeffrey
Epstein and Glen Maxwell and him talking to just various people. Right,
Rich dudes are all going to go to bat for
each other. But imagine when a pedophile thinks you're a sicko? Right,
(54:21):
because that was the line that a lot of people
were focusing on, as Jeffrey Epstein saying, I've never met
anybody as bad as Trump. Right, doesn't have a decent
cell in his body. Now, anybody who's been paying attention
to Donald Trump for forty years knows this, Okay, But
imagine the guy who is known for all this stuff
(54:43):
is like, yeah, I mean, I'm a sex trafficker, but
that dude is a straight up psycho. Yeah, imagine that's
the log line. So yeah, I mean I alluded to
it earlier. You know, when somebody like Megan Kelly is going,
well listen, not technically pedophilia. When those are the distinctions
(55:06):
you're trying to make, I don't know what you're defending anymore.
Trump has never met a criminal or a scumbag that
he didn't love. Whether it's white collar criminals he's pardoning,
or sexual predators or January sixth douchebags or foreign dictators,
(55:26):
those are his people and there's never been any question
about that. You cannot count on any consistency from this
guy other than always aligning himself with the very worst
people that society has to offer.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
So I've never quite been known.
Speaker 8 (55:49):
What he was worried about in the first place, because
MAGA people are not going to leave him. They've proven
they do not care about sexual assault or oligarchy or
pedophilia or financial malfeasance.
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Couldn't care that bless.
Speaker 6 (56:07):
But that was my point is how where does that
does any more information about it even matter? Like, like
if they can rely all the time but anything care,
I think it matters big picture. His people don't care.
It's just that the society and the culture has kind
of become some numb to these things that you can't.
Speaker 8 (56:31):
You can't in good conscience go well, this doesn't matter
because people don't care.
Speaker 6 (56:36):
You know what I mean, I don't disagree. What I'm
saying is it's not going to change anything.
Speaker 8 (56:40):
Well, I've never again I've never understood why he was
worried about it. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (56:51):
But but but like they literally went from saying it
was on someone's desk and being reviewed to it not existing,
to there's nothing to it, to it's a hoe to
now go ahead and release everything because it's it's yeah,
but those of those people are on it. So what
is actually what is the endgame? That's what I don't get.
Speaker 2 (57:08):
Don't know, I've never understood what the endgame.
Speaker 8 (57:10):
Well, I know the endgame for him this pivot to yes,
release them is they're going to release this incredibly redacted
version and what you will find unredacted is just names
of Democrats who met with Jeffrey Epstein. So then he
and the Department just can go, look, you know, we're
gonna open all these investigations and appeal. So it's it's
(57:31):
more subterfuge. The thing that bothers me more than anything
else is if this guy feels cornered or if this
guy's nervous, he will burn it all down. This guy
will go to There are no lengths to which he
will not go to distract or to you know, So
beyond this is the thing that kind of makes me
(57:52):
nervous is you don't know what the guy's gonna do.
He's feral, you don't know, doesn't care about you, doesn't
care about the United States that he'll wreck it all
if he thinks, well, this will get me to where
I need to be. You know, all these people who
screamed about the deep state, oh the deep state, they
(58:15):
didn't mind the deep state. They wanted to control it.
So they wanted you know, the whole Well, this is
weaponization of government. They couldn't wait to do that when
they got in there. So, yeah, I don't know what
the I don't know. You know, he's got that social
media platform called truth Social and just like everybody else,
(58:35):
they were trying to roll out AI, except that the
AI on his own social media platform was basically you know,
putting information on there that runs counter to their narrative.
So it's like, yeah, tariffs are stupid and the January
sixth people are traders and that you know on your
own platform.
Speaker 2 (58:55):
So who knows.
Speaker 19 (58:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (58:58):
I don't know what the endgame is. I just don't
understand any of it, man, I really really don't. I
just I wish that I mean again, I know social
media is not going anywhere. I know all of these things,
but I just wish there was a way that it
could all just be facted again, because no matter who
you hear it coming from, no matter whose mouth it
comes from, it has some form of bias one way
(59:18):
or the other. Yeah, that's but that.
Speaker 2 (59:21):
But that has always been the case. Yeah, but not really.
Speaker 6 (59:23):
I remember sitting and watching Peter Jennings give me the news,
and it was what happened in Zimbabwe.
Speaker 8 (59:29):
Yeah, but they still do that. I mean, if you
watch the network nightly news, which is what Peter Jennings
was doing, Yes, people go, oh back in the day, everybody,
those are the gatekeepers.
Speaker 2 (59:39):
And that was the problem that some people had with that.
Speaker 8 (59:41):
There, Oh, well you're getting your news from this, so
you kind of reverse engineer it and you go, okay,
well we all got the news.
Speaker 2 (59:48):
But that's because there were three people giving us the news.
Speaker 6 (59:51):
Yes, and there wasn't twenty four hour cycle of someone
having to tell you what to think about the news.
Speaker 8 (59:57):
Right, that's the problem. But they still have the night news.
If you watch David Muir doing ABC Nightly News or whatever,
he's very workmanlike. He's like, here's this, here's this, here's this.
So the people who are doing that on the nightly news,
just for people who talk about, well, there used to
be Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw, those people are still
doing that. If there had been social media and all
(01:00:19):
these other outlets when we were coming up, it would
be the exact same thing. So, you know, I know
people talk about like we're any post truth society, but
that's all perception. There are things that are still true,
and so the trouble is you have a harder and
harder time getting people to collectively agree on those things
(01:00:41):
that are true. And so I think that the endgame
for something like this is that maybe you use people's
own plans against them. Guys like Steve Bannon, where their
entire plan all the way through has been the old
you know, flood the zone with crap and people won't
know what to believe anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Just constantly keep them distracted.
Speaker 8 (01:01:02):
I think that the endgame for something like this is
maybe flooded with so much information that it become Listen,
the MAGA people aren't going to leave him, but I
don't know what you're defending anymore.
Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
You do have to.
Speaker 8 (01:01:18):
Come to the conclusion that you're like, Okay, well, clearly
there's something going on here, but I'm willing to bend
over backwards to defend this guy. You know, if you're
one of those people, if you're a supporter, that's the
deal that you have to make with yourself is I
will go to any lengths to defend anything for this guy.
(01:01:39):
And you can't count on that forever. This is a
guy who very clearly has no intentions of leaving. You
don't build a giant ballroom onto the White House to
leave it for the next guy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
You just don't.
Speaker 8 (01:01:53):
And so that's part and parcel of why I was
never You know, these people operate because the way that
they do, because they're not worried about election results.
Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Yeah, why aren't there checks and balances to that?
Speaker 6 (01:02:06):
Like, how can it just be free to show me
some I mean, you know, well, I'm not saying that
I can, but isn't there something that says like there
are processes and if he thinks he's not going anywhere,
there has to.
Speaker 8 (01:02:17):
Be, well there are path to that there are, But
there are four thousand stop gaps that should have happened
for things like this before if he wasn't being enabled
by a Congress that is letting him do whatever he wants. Yes,
Congress and the Supreme Court, who are, let's be real,
pretty much in his back pocket. Maybe not overtly, but
(01:02:41):
covertly with the majority that they've got over there. Yeah,
four thousand things before this, under normal circumstances would have
been stopped by the other bodies of the government.
Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
But they're not.
Speaker 8 (01:02:58):
And so even when the Supreme Court, you know, hand
something down, they have no enforcement power obviously, and they
know that, so there's really no stakes for them.
Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
However, they rule on certain things.
Speaker 8 (01:03:10):
You know, a lot of people are celebrating that they
didn't take up the gay marriage thing.
Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Oh Bergafel, which is a big one.
Speaker 8 (01:03:16):
That lady who in Kentucky, right, that Kim Davis who
for years, oh she wouldn't give people marriage licenses because
you know this thrice divorced Mormon wives type lady or whatever,
and some people really took a lot of umbrage with that,
and so they were really kind of holding their breaths
wondering if the Supreme Court was going to try to
overturn gay marriage. Now they didn't do that, they wouldn't
(01:03:36):
even hear the case. But we are also to a
point where they don't really have to. So the headline
is good, but the people in that community know there
is no end of work still to be done because
a million things can be chipped away behind the scenes
to the point where they don't have to make big,
sweeping decisions that will then bring protests and outrage and
(01:04:00):
all this. They can do a million little things along
the way that will achieve the same result. So you
know when people talk about checks and balances, yeah, you know,
you still do have large portions of the judicial branch
they're pushing back.
Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
But if you have somebody who just goes, no, I'm
just going to ignore that, nothing you can do.
Speaker 5 (01:04:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:04:24):
But even if you but the Supreme Court, even if
it is controlled by one side or the other, still
has to make a decision to completely change everything that.
Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
The country was based upon. Well, they do, but whether
they do or not, how do you enforce that?
Speaker 8 (01:04:40):
They don't. They don't have any enforcement power, so they rule.
But if you have someone who doesn't adhere to turns
out this whole system was kind of propped up on
people who you know, were not hell bent on subverting
the norms of government. If you have somebody like that,
they just go no. You know, they tried to cast
(01:05:02):
the whole shut down. Their whole talking point was the
Democrats shut down. Now everybody knew that wasn't true, obviously,
because if the courts say you have to fund people
getting food, and you go back and appeal in court,
I don't want to do that. That is not the
Democrats keeping you from keeping people fed. That is you
(01:05:22):
actively going to court and saying I want people to starve.
And so that only gets you so far.
Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
But I don't know what the end result of the
Epstein thing is. I really don't.
Speaker 8 (01:05:38):
But every day there's new information, and I guess maybe
they hope that eventually the truth of it will be
so unbelievably hard to ignore. But there's a long way
between now and then.
Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
For that.
Speaker 8 (01:05:55):
I'm still so confused by all of it. It just
doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
I know it'll make it happy, though, is Brian h
Brian called a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Over the weekend, a lot in downtime.
Speaker 8 (01:06:07):
Now I have an affinity for this because this is
the kind of stuff I grew up with. We were talking,
he called last week with some Bette Midler, remember that. Yeah, yeah,
from a distance. Brian called with from a distance, and
I went off on this whole thing about how hey
Bette Midler brought us Barry Manilow because my mom and
our friend Keith Kennedy out there big Barry Manilow fans,
(01:06:28):
And so I'm thinking Brian heard this and gifted us
some Barry Manilow in his own inimitable fashion.
Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
Looks like we made it.
Speaker 8 (01:06:39):
So shallow, Yeah, looks like we made it.
Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
I don't hate that at all.
Speaker 8 (01:06:47):
Remember that song, I sure do. Barry Manilow had an album.
It was his third or fourth in and again I
grew up in a house full of Barry Manilo because
my mom loved Barry Manilo, and he had an album
called This One's for You And it was a massive album,
like three million copies, which in the seventies, big big deal, right,
(01:07:10):
and that was one of the big hits. Looks like
we made it. This is when guys were singing in
Barry Manilow famous for playing piano. But you know, I
forget in the seventies all these singers had like orchestras
behind them, right yeah, a lot of strings, a lot
of deep percussion things like that.
Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Looks fuck, we made it a shallow.
Speaker 8 (01:07:43):
I mean seven year old ac rob right now, I'm
all warm and fuzzy, bro, Yeah, warm and fuzzy.
Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
Manilo wasn't a big one in my house growing up.
So hu you have Perry Como? Well, yeah, we had
all the Italians. If I was at my grandparents' house,
ye where you got all that stuff. And my grandmother
was a big humper, dank guy.
Speaker 8 (01:08:05):
We had the Dink.
Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
We had Tony Bennett probably you know, not as much
as you'd think, Frank. My grandfather loved uh Sinatra and
Dean Martin. But Perry Como was huge. You heard a
lot of him. Uh yeah, yeah, there was some movies.
Oh yeah, zoom.
Speaker 8 (01:08:24):
Vic Damone? Remember Vic Damone. Wasn't he married Diane Carroll?
Vic Damone?
Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
The uh, I'm trying to think of the guy's name.
I just trying to google it.
Speaker 12 (01:08:34):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
My grandfather had a guy.
Speaker 8 (01:08:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:08:37):
My brother bought me a physical copy of the record
not long ago.
Speaker 15 (01:08:41):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (01:08:42):
That was like my grandfather's dude. And he was Jerry Vale. Yeah,
Jerry Vale, Jerry Vale. There you go. And uh that
that guy man, he was on constantly. My grandfather loved him. Yeah,
he'd be out working in the garage. I got him,
Uh boombach, a boom box, a boombox, get the cassettes.
Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
He'd be out there working in the garage.
Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:09:12):
All and I have shower Bongs at my house all
the time. Now, I got to watch my beer since
I know what he's capable of. All right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
Yeah, here's an idea.
Speaker 8 (01:09:20):
It's friends that are taxi. Yeah, don't have him over.
Don't leave any beverages around or at the very least,
because apparently shower Bong said that it was the the
douchey manager's fault, right, not his fault. No, right, he
could have taken the high road. Didn't do that, douchey manager,
shower Bongs. This is many years ago. He says, a
(01:09:41):
younger man didn't like the guy, but the guy kept
two Monster Energy drinks waiting for him. Sounded like a
ritualistic thing. Right, every day, this guy's excited uh to
drink his Monster Energy and shower bongs ghost knuckle deep
right rubs it puts the same finger on this guy's thing.
Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Oh this hurts, but it's gonna be worth it. It's
gonna be so worth it.
Speaker 10 (01:10:07):
Hi Ellen Hirad Megan from Grafton here. I love when
you play Brian singing, but he reminds me of the
Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz when he sings.
Speaker 18 (01:10:18):
If you listen to.

The song that the Cowardly Lion sings and listen to Brian,

Speaker 8 (01:14:01):
Darius Rucker, who has spent the better part of the
last fifteen years as a country artist, and I wouldn't
say getting back to his rock and roll roots. But
maybe I don't know, And I don't know how the
three of those guys looked up, but Steve Gorman, who ironically,
not ironically, I've been saying I met a lot improperly lately.
Steve Gorman, after the dissolution of the Black Crows, started
(01:14:24):
doing sports radio in Atlanta. That's their hometown. So Steve
Gorman has been a radio guy for a while. You
know how Greg Kinn started doing radio. Remember Greg Kin,
He had a couple of big hits and then when
things kind of started to dry up. Greg Kinn is
one of these rock and roll guys who started doing radio.
And I don't mean like you know, they put you
in a studio and bean you across the country and
(01:14:45):
call the show like Nikki six or Alice Cooper. Greg
Kinn was on Las Vegas radio for like twenty years,
and Steve Gorman was a sports talk show host in Atlanta.
But because I think when the Black Crows reformed, I
don't know if he was, there was some acrimony there,
(01:15:06):
not just between the Robinson brothers, but I think between
all those guys. So Chris Robinson was just at the
rock Hall inductions singing Bad Company, but Steve Gorman behind
the drums, Mike Mills from Ram and Darius Rucker. They're
in front and the band is called Howl Owl Howell.
Did you recognize his voice right away? Darius Rucker? Yeah,
(01:15:30):
I can't say that I did, because I saw the
story before I heard.
Speaker 6 (01:15:34):
Okay, yeah, you had me listen, and I still couldn't
pick it out. I'm really surprised I couldn't, because he
has a very distinct voice.
Speaker 8 (01:15:41):
Yeah, my cologne because she called one of her colognes
r E M and so I guess they're a little poking,
little fun at her or whatever. I don't know if
it's a one off thing. I'm not sure, but I
guess Mike Mills. I don't know if they filed any
kind of of litigation against her. What I knew the
(01:16:02):
RAM guys weren't pleased about it. So anyway, they called
the song my cologne.
Speaker 6 (01:16:10):
My colonna. There's an opportunity for weird now in every
song my Colonna from Hoodie and the Crowfish, people saying
this is already.
Speaker 8 (01:16:21):
My dad's favorite band. I mean, listen, it doesn't sound bad, right.
I was never an RM guy, but I appreciated what
they did. Rim if You're agen x or Rim was
one of those bands that you were like expected to
listen to if you were in college, right, you had
to love Rim, And I'm like, no, thank you, Yeah,
I never did.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
I now cared for him a little too whiny for me.
Speaker 8 (01:16:44):
Ironically, many years later, the entire heavy metal world was
people whining about how they didn't get enough hugs.
Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
That's where new metal came from.
Speaker 8 (01:16:54):
But whatever, everything's cyclical, and you know, the RM guys
basically said cynara, and.
Speaker 13 (01:17:04):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
I don't know that you've ever seen an RM reunion
talked about.
Speaker 6 (01:17:11):
I thought some of the r EM stuff was okay,
Like early stuff was good and it got weird.
Speaker 8 (01:17:16):
See, I liked them later. I liked when they rocked.
I like Monster. I like the stuff that was RIM
fans didn't like. I didn't need more radio free Europe.
I didn't need more friggin' that's me in the corner.
That's that's where they lost me.
Speaker 6 (01:17:33):
Was the losing my religions and the shiny happy people
and the crap like that that I hated.
Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Everybody hurts.
Speaker 8 (01:17:39):
Yeah, I get that they were just playing around and whatever.
It just didn't didn't click on my brain. And then
Bill Barry had an aneurysm, so he split, right.
Speaker 12 (01:17:48):
He was like.
Speaker 8 (01:17:52):
Their drummer had an aneurysm or something, and so he
bailed and that was kind of the beginning of the
end for r EM.
Speaker 6 (01:17:57):
Document I think was the album I liked. Okay, I'm
looking at the the songs now that someone's document the
President sign the Document, Uh huh, yeah, that one, I think, Uh,
let's see.
Speaker 8 (01:18:16):
Well, this is we gave away tickets a while ago
for actor Michael Shannon. He goes out in the road
with like an RM collaborator and they do full RM
albums in their entirety. I think Document or No Life's
Rich Pageant is the one that's coming up in the spring. Okay,
that we gave away the tickets for, but they've done
it a couple of different tours where they'll do an
(01:18:38):
entire RM album because they're such huge fans.
Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Green was okay, that had Orange Crush and that stuff.
Speaker 13 (01:18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:18:44):
Document was like the one I love and the World
as we know it, Yeah, And so it's like those
things were fine, but if you were in college in
the late eighties early nineties, you were like expected to
like r EM and it just didn't. So by the
time I was you know, by the time I had
(01:19:06):
just started doing radio pretty much full time when Monster
came out. So we were playing like, What's the Frequency Kenneth?
And we're playing crush with Eyeliner. I thought those were good.
I like the Frequency Kenneth is a perfectly fine song.
I have no problem with that whatsoever. I like them
when they get their rock on, and I don't care
(01:19:26):
what anybody says. They weren't doing it before that.
Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
But it was.
Speaker 8 (01:19:32):
Not as popular with their fan base. Bang and Blame
and Star sixty nine, and I thought those were good.
I forgot about Blame, Yeah, I mean Star sixty nine.
Try asking somebody if they know.
Speaker 13 (01:19:48):
What that is?
Speaker 6 (01:19:51):
Nice Nice sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
This was one of the RMB sides for nine.
Speaker 8 (01:20:00):
I think this was on New Adventures of High five
maybe or nine Automatic for the People. I don't know
what their last album was, but you know Bill Berry
Split anyway. Mike Mills is in a band with Darius
Hooty Rucker and Steve Gorman. I don't know if they're
just sticking around. I don't know if they're having fun.
I don't know if they're going to tour. I don't
(01:20:20):
know anything.
Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
But Darius Rucker.
Speaker 8 (01:20:22):
You want to talk about a great second act is
him as a country star, and boy, that was not
easy for him to reinvent himself in that way.
Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
JC wants to know if you can hit the post
on Cuyahoga.
Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
I played Cyah Hogan not long ago as a bumper
because we were talking about something. I don't know the
song though, really, Oh I played it. We were giving
away those Michael Shannon tickets. Oh yeah, because that's on
Life's Rich pageant. I think that's from Yeah it is Yeah,
yeah nice six is movable and yeah country.
Speaker 5 (01:21:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:21:19):
So I I fully understand why college kids, why my
peers are way in Rim, but I was. I was
a metal guy.
Speaker 6 (01:21:26):
My cousin Tommy loved Yeah. I never got it.
Speaker 8 (01:21:29):
I mean, my unpopular hot take is I never liked
Michael Stipe's voice, and he's widely regarded as a phenomenal singer,
so I think technically he is. I just never liked
his voice. I thought the musicians in that band are great.
The other there's an album called Hindu Love Gods. It's
one of my favorite of all time, and it's just
Warren Zevon with the other three guys from Rim.
Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
They were his backing band.
Speaker 8 (01:21:52):
They did a one off of covers called Hindu Love
Gods probably nineteen eighty nine, and it's him, Mike Mills,
Peter Buck and Bilber.
Speaker 6 (01:22:00):
And Michael Stipe. Was just he was annoying. He was,
like to say, as one of those guys that could
never be in on the joke. Everything had to be
about him taking himself so seriously. I guess it was
just enough. I I was that that was part of
the reason I never liked Ariya. Yeah, probably the biggest
part of the reason.
Speaker 8 (01:22:16):
I mean, I guess, like if it's I didn't mind
how he was, I just you know, if a guy's
that way, but I liked their me. He's listen, our
friend David Draymond, right, congratulations during the weekend. He takes
himself very seriously, and that can that can kind of
rub people the wrong way sometimes even before all this
(01:22:38):
Israel Gaza Michigas, he takes himself very seriously. And my
thought is always that probably among artists, that's a way
to protect yourself. That's probably like a little a little defense,
right maybe, But I don't know, I wouldn't presume to
speak for the guy.
Speaker 6 (01:22:57):
Well, I'm starting to like them a little bit more
here as I look the also known as r EM. Right,
so the other things they called themselves Hornet's Attack, It
Crawled from the South and Bingo hand Job.
Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
Yeah yeah, I like that a lot.
Speaker 13 (01:23:13):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
Bingo hand Job is fantastic.
Speaker 8 (01:23:18):
Ram performing under the name Bingo hand Job at a
nineteen ninety one surprise gig for the release of Out
of Time.
Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
That great. Yeah, good for them.
Speaker 8 (01:23:28):
Now see that.
Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Now I could get behind that.
Speaker 8 (01:23:31):
But imagine you go to see that band and then
R e. M walks out right freak out. Yeah, I
would be really mad if I went to see Bingo
hand Job and Rim comes out and starts playing swimming.
(01:23:56):
I thought this was Bingo hand Job.
Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
I didn't want to see r EM.
Speaker 8 (01:23:59):
I mean, I should have liked them because I think
Radio for Europe was their first song out the gate.
Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
They did Radio for Europe.
Speaker 8 (01:24:04):
I was like, this is a good song, but then
everything else was like so dirgy, and I was like, Okay, anyway,
they don't need us to like them, right, They made
their money, They sold millions.
Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
They have a devoted fan base. Gen x indie heroes.
Speaker 6 (01:24:20):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Gene Simmons checked back in by the way, Yes, yeah,
speaking of heroes.
Speaker 18 (01:24:26):
Allan, this is Gene Simmons who kiss and was myself.
You were talking about using coupons on a date, and
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think
it shows the signs of a mate with a high
sexual prowless and a conservative fiscal attitude is going to be.
Speaker 5 (01:24:44):
A great provider.
Speaker 18 (01:24:46):
Also, my iPhone is not a force an iPhone eights
in the twenty twelve pilots. It is not the best quality,
but it works.
Speaker 8 (01:24:55):
I'll tell you Gene Simmon's blake driving a twenty twelve
pilot an iPhone iPhone You over for.
Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
iPhone? Yeah, good for him.
Speaker 8 (01:25:04):
I knows how to stretch a buck of myself. It's
like me, Rob, I'm driving a rental car. My car
is in the body shop right. I'm waiting to hear
from them with the damages after I hit that deer.
Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Oh, so do you know if it's fixable yet? No
clue dropped it.
Speaker 8 (01:25:17):
I dropped it off this morning, walked next door to
get my rental car, and I'm in. I'm driving a
Toyota Corolla. I'm driving like a little toy around Rob.
I must and then I pull into work this morning
and Mondays are you know, they have sales meetings and stuff.
There's a lot of people here on Monday mornings. And
I know this, and so I'm pulling in. I'm like, ah,
(01:25:37):
a small car. It's not like my Fusion is a
big car, but it crolls a small car. Yeah, I goes,
it'd be great, right, three spots. Again, this isn't the
end of the world, but I'm just recounting this morning.
Three spots in our parking garage on our level where
I couldn't get the car in because the because the
person on one side or the other didn't know how
to park. They do that thing where they like pull
(01:25:59):
in it and angle and just let it sit there
and get out of their car, you know, like they're crossed.
They're like at an angle in the spot and you're stuck. Yeah,
like three people like their wheel their wheels are turned in. Okay,
you just curved into the spot and split.
Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Peeves Rob. I was peethed. Yeah, I was miffed.
Speaker 6 (01:26:23):
It's there's also a couple of gigantic SUVs that very
small little people drive that they may as well just
take up two spots.
Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
There are massive pickup trucks in our parking garage.
Speaker 8 (01:26:33):
And I and you really do have to you know,
when you're making these these turning these corners in these
parking garages, you know these are just shy of like
hair pin turns.
Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
And you got these giant truck beds sticking out.
Speaker 8 (01:26:47):
Like, okay, listen, they got to get to work too,
but you know you're not hauling anything to work.
Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
And I love.
Speaker 6 (01:26:55):
The thing that drives me nuts is the people that
feel that they have to back into every single spot
a planet.
Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
This place is not built for people to back into.
Speaker 8 (01:27:03):
I do not understand backing into the angled parking spots
at all. Like listen, man on a flat outside parking lot.
Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Perfect.
Speaker 6 (01:27:12):
I love a pull through.
Speaker 8 (01:27:13):
Yeah, I love a pull through, but I've been I've
sat in this garage before and waited for somebody to
do the nineteen point turn to back in. I'm like,
even when you pull out, you gotta.
Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
They're like you say, climate concerts.
Speaker 8 (01:27:28):
No it does not.
Speaker 6 (01:27:30):
That's not because you can't cut the wheel enough to
get out of that spot now because they're all angled. Uh,
I see people do it all the time. I don't
get that. I do not get boy, I'm gonna hold
up a line of nine cars here so I can
back into an angled spot. And I can't use my
backup camera because there's a huge set of truck nuts
in the way. So I gotta I gotta just do
(01:27:51):
this with my mirrors and then hang my head out
the window. Yeah, we got some listener mail wrote.
Speaker 8 (01:28:05):
The letters.
Speaker 6 (01:28:05):
We got letters.
Speaker 5 (01:28:09):
Now.
Speaker 8 (01:28:09):
I want to preface this by saying that this woman
really wanted to cover her bases, because not only did
she send a handwritten letter to me, the original letter
that I saw was a couple of screen grabs sent
to me by our friend Mike Polk, who's over there
(01:28:32):
at Channel three, and he texts me and he's goofing around.
He goes, hey, man, we go way back your friend.
You don't have to write fake fan letters. Ha ha ha,
you know, and proceeds to send me a couple of
screen grabs of the letter that this woman wrote him
about how unbelievably amazing Alan Coxy is rot.
Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (01:28:56):
You get a mention in there too. I'm writing to
submit an idea for consideration. Polk does a thing a
Channel three. They're called like the he anchors, but he
does like a thing called front row or something like
that that spotlights certain people. Yeah, and this woman I'm
going to paraphrase her letter, but she basically goes on
(01:29:16):
to talk about how well she writes two words, Alan Cox.
I know he has his own show, but maybe something
to showcase he has many talents?
Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Rob, did you know I had many talents?
Speaker 8 (01:29:31):
I had one.
Speaker 6 (01:29:32):
I share a studio with you. I know your talents.
I see him every day, which you can do. How
you can scratch your back with that?
Speaker 2 (01:29:38):
Really? Ben in your incredible.
Speaker 8 (01:29:43):
Since you and he are friends, you know what a
unique individual he is, she writes, So he's a great
interviewer with respect to music. He's a savant. That means
a good right rain man of music. Wow, he's a
(01:30:04):
great interviewer. Wow, he's a great comic. The less time
he did come, I have done stand up in forever.
I think some type of segment with him would be phenomenal.
She just writes this amazing letter. I don't think people
would argue with me, and then parenthetically at the end,
(01:30:26):
rop h his co host, Rob is no slouch in
the entertainment industry either.
Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Slouch.
Speaker 8 (01:30:35):
I'm a savant. You're no slouch. How about that.
Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
I'd like to stop and thank my mommy for submitting
that letter she wrote, handwrites polka letter.
Speaker 8 (01:30:45):
And then I come in today and you know, whatever
mail I get is put on the desk that I
sit at there in the morning before I come in here,
and she's written a similar letter to me. She could
covering her basis saying the same thing. It couldn't have
been nicer. I mean, again, I'm flabbergasted by this person
reaching out. I appreciate how hard you work and all
(01:31:08):
the time you put into your show for us fans.
Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Wow, people being nice, Like I'm not used to this.
Speaker 8 (01:31:18):
Well, I mean it's it's very very nice. But I'm like,
you know, Mike Polk is a busy man. He's got
his own ideas about how to conduct his own business
over it, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
And uh, nobody wants me on television.
Speaker 8 (01:31:35):
This is the law, you know. The My stretch in
Cleveland is the other than I filled in on the
morning news years ago on Channel three. This is the
longest stretch I've ever not had a TV gig. Everywhere
I've worked, I've had radio, and I've done a TV gig.
The longest stretch cause I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
I'm not the new hotness route. I'm old and busted.
Speaker 8 (01:31:56):
I get it. Yes, golly, she's trying to cover her anyway.
It's a very very nice letter, Thank you so much.
But you know, Mike Polk's got he's a busy guy.
He's got stuff to do. Hey, didn't he just get
married recently?
Speaker 10 (01:32:11):
Rob?
Speaker 8 (01:32:11):
You know he did?
Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
And I know I was at the wedding, and you're
mocking me. I'm not mocking.
Speaker 6 (01:32:15):
I just heard that it was the social event of
the year.
Speaker 8 (01:32:19):
It certainly was. Who was there, Oh, golly one, Timothy
Disney Esquire, wow one, David Schadowski from Channel three Sports,
holy cow one, probably a lot of his of course,
wife is lovely bride, Stephanie, who's accomplished, accomplished broadcaster in
her own right.
Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
And oh, just no shortage. I was there, Rob, huh,
I was among the.
Speaker 8 (01:32:47):
Elite. Normally.
Speaker 2 (01:32:48):
I'm happy to be included in the hoy POLOI.
Speaker 8 (01:32:54):
It's time. I was breathing rarefied air and drinking sick.
It's your cocktails, That's what I'm saying. I gotta tell you,
fancy pants. Yeah, our friend James Renner was there, James
Burge junior, local funny man and musician in his own right,
was there. Come on our very own one, Michael Beater,
(01:33:18):
the mayor of Kent, Ohio practically, and.
Speaker 6 (01:33:23):
Our very own Allen Cox right there from center. You
see bringing You're no big deal. I was bringing up there.
I was in the back few rows of tables. But
I'm happy you were there. I was pleased to be invited.
Speaker 8 (01:33:36):
Built one Williams Squire one mary Lyn Santra.
Speaker 6 (01:33:40):
Yeah, come on.
Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Allen Cox show on one.
Speaker 7 (01:33:50):
When you realize things could always be worse, he'll be
here to'll prove you right.
Speaker 3 (01:33:56):
Correct, Allan Cocks.
Speaker 8 (01:34:08):
Jack White, newly inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame, one half of the White Stripes, will work
with the Rack on the tours. He's doing the NFL
Thanksgiving halftime show. That's pretty exciting. Hometown Lions playing the
pack of Green Bay and they got Jack White can
do the halftime. You think he'll bring out Kendrick Lamar.
(01:34:31):
You think he'll bring out glow Rilla. You think he'll
do a collab with.
Speaker 6 (01:34:39):
I don't know, probably not.
Speaker 8 (01:34:41):
You don't think so, No, you don't think that he'll
try to mimic the big game, you know, the Super Bowl,
superb Owl.
Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
No, I think he will just rock it.
Speaker 8 (01:34:50):
You think, yes, all right, well listen, as far as
I'm concerned, Jack White can do no wrong. I'm sure
in his own home he can. I'm sure if you
didn't like put away the dishes or something right, the
married guy again and he married again, married a few times.
Might be hard to uh keep a man like Jack
(01:35:11):
White down, but he has been tapped a headline the
halftime show Lions, Green Bay Packers on the big holiday Thanksgiving.
That was my first big radio event with listeners. Was
when I had to take a truck. I had just
started in Kalamazoo, Michigan on Labor Day of ninety five,
(01:35:32):
and that thanks Giving Day game when they used to
play at the Pontiac Silver Dome, which has long since
fallen into disrepair, and I had to I drew the
short straw. None of the like you know, other people
on staff were gonna work Thanksgiving and I didn't have
(01:35:53):
any local family or anything. So I had to host
a bus to Detroit full of listeners. And back then
it was usually the Lions and the Bears, so.
Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
I had some skin in the game. No Tigers, it's football, Rob.
Speaker 8 (01:36:12):
I'm sorry, Lions, Tigers and Bears. I just assumed all
went together. No, sorry, you're thinking of the cowardly Brian
is what you're thinking of? Right room, Bryan, tell what.
Speaker 12 (01:36:24):
A lush I would show compash.
Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
Lovely of the photos looks like we made it.
Speaker 12 (01:36:45):
We shallow.
Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
Again, I hope. I wonder if it's intentional.
Speaker 8 (01:36:51):
I don't think that it is, and I'm hoping that
this doesn't send him spiraling into trying something new. I
want Brian to be himself. I want him to be
the consummate artist that he has been. I know he's
not everybody's cup of tea, right some people he's like,
he's like r em is. To me, it's fine, But
(01:37:11):
the sooner it's over, happier I'll be. I know that's
how some people regard Brian. People who is in the
middle of the road with Brian. People either love Brian
or they can't stand it.
Speaker 13 (01:37:23):
And so.
Speaker 8 (01:37:25):
Anyway, I had a host I say had to, but
it was still fun. Right I was the new guy
on staff. You're trying to get in front of people,
so I was introducing myself to them as much as
they were introducing themselves to me. Barry Sanders was still
playing for the Detroit Lions. Charlie Batch was their quarterback.
He would go on to become the backup in Pittsburgh
(01:37:46):
right about the time that I moved there. So Lions
game Thanksgiving Day, Pontiac Silver Dome, Me and a bust
full of listeners.
Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
That was like my first big event as an air personality,
rob back in the day. Now, it's a good one
to have.
Speaker 8 (01:38:06):
Of course, Ford Field is where they play now. But
Jack White will do that halftime show lies Packers. I'll
THANKSGIVC Dame who's playing tonight.
Speaker 6 (01:38:22):
I gotta be honest with MNF. I got so beat
this weekend in fantasy football.
Speaker 8 (01:38:27):
Oh you did.
Speaker 6 (01:38:28):
Every single player on my team got injured. So I
still Cowboys Raiders. Yeah, So to me, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (01:38:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
You got crushed, crushed?
Speaker 8 (01:38:37):
Yeah. Thanksgiving Day games are Packers in Detroit, Chieves in Dallas,
and the Bengals in Baltimore. There you go at half
past noon, four thirty and eight twenty respectively. So there
you go. THANKSGIVOC Day. Football Football's not on on th
(01:39:00):
Thanksgiving when I go home, really yeah, well can you
put it on? I could, but I don't think anybody cares,
you know. So Jack White is going to do the
Detroit show post malone, and Lil John will do the
other games? Why why not?
Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
I you know?
Speaker 6 (01:39:23):
Only so?
Speaker 8 (01:39:24):
No, just why I've had enough of the post malone?
Oh really yeah? Yeah, but he's a country artist now.
Wrote right, Dallas, the Dallas game will get post malone,
and Lil John will do that other game, the Dallas
Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show.
Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
That'll be post malone this year.
Speaker 8 (01:39:46):
Last year was Jelly Roll Dolly Parton. The year before that,
Jonas brothers. Ellie Goulding remember her twenty nineteen? Wow, what
happened to her? She had a jaw like a lantern. Yeah,
it's cute though, where'd she go? It was like a
(01:40:06):
British singer who had a couple of his lights.
Speaker 6 (01:40:10):
Yeah, the.
Speaker 8 (01:40:15):
Nailed it is Ellie Goulding in the room she is, Oh,
that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:40:20):
Yeah yeah, but you didn't know that, did you?
Speaker 6 (01:40:23):
Sure did not.
Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
I can't say that anymore.
Speaker 8 (01:40:28):
An email from Matt Allen, I finally did that ten
second thing through.
Speaker 2 (01:40:31):
A movie that you always used to talk about.
Speaker 8 (01:40:34):
It's watching that Shark movie under Paris on Netflix still
the only time I ever did it, and I'm so
glad I did with that movie.
Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
Even though I was constantly doing it, it was still
not fast enough.
Speaker 8 (01:40:46):
People had real thoughts on this when I divulged years
ago that I'll watch some shows and I'll ten second
my way through it.
Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Because there's some shows, you.
Speaker 8 (01:40:55):
Know, in an age where they have to take a
minimal amount of story and expand it into ten episodes,
and that's just for the limited series. Movies themselves are
a lot longer than they need to be two, and
so there are some shows where I like the show,
but boy does it take a long time for something
to happen, And so you'll just bomb through it ten
(01:41:16):
second my way through, and people go, oh, but you
miss so much.
Speaker 2 (01:41:19):
I go, that's a point though.
Speaker 8 (01:41:21):
You can tell if you're missing something, and then I'll
go ten seconds back, I'll catch up. But you ten
second your way through some of these shows, and I
get it. People well that that depletes or diminishes the experience,
and I'll say, Okay, that's fine, then don't do it.
Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
But I'm telling you I did it.
Speaker 8 (01:41:41):
It was a few years back I was watching this
zombie show called Black Summer and it was good. Fitted
a couple seasons of it over there on Netflix. I
liked the premise. It was a spin off of some
other zombie show it and watch, but I liked it.
But Jesus zombie shows in particular, there's a lot of
walking around, a lot of gripping your firearm and looking
(01:42:03):
around trees and trying to figure out if there's something
in that barn. And I'm like, Okay, did you fast
forward through Death by Lightning at all?
Speaker 17 (01:42:10):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:42:11):
I liked that a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
I'm only like a I don't even think I'm done
with the first episode. Oh, I love it.
Speaker 6 (01:42:17):
I might be a couple of minutes into the second episode.
It's great and we I text you over the weekend
about it. The subject matter something I had never thought
about and is addressed in the show.
Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
They actually talk about that.
Speaker 8 (01:42:35):
This is a show. I saw no promotion I whatsoever.
They just dropped it on Netflix called Death by Lightning.
The cast is stacked, but it's about James Garfield and
Charles Guitaux, who is the guy who assassinated President James
Abram Garfield.
Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
Three months into his presidency.
Speaker 13 (01:42:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:42:53):
So it's like Nick Offerman and Matthew mcfaden from Succession
and Michael Shannon and Brad Whitford. You know, the cast
is unbelievable and they're all obviously, you know, hiding under
nineteenth century beards.
Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
That's why I spent the ladies.
Speaker 6 (01:43:06):
I spent the first to the first two episodes thinking, uh,
Shay Wingham was was Tom Segura?
Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
I swear to god, I'm like, I didn't know Sigura
had chops.
Speaker 8 (01:43:15):
That would have been amazing if Tom Sigora played one
of these nineteenth centuries just like him, like just like him.
Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
Yeah, but it's gotta be fun.
Speaker 8 (01:43:27):
To do one of those shows where you just grow
a beard and go and we need a man who
can set you know.
Speaker 6 (01:43:32):
Yeah that that dude from Succession was incredible in matthewmcfaith,
Oh my god, that like the just the visuals of
mental illness coming and it's really good. I think you're
gonna enjoy the last three episodes, maybe even more than
the first.
Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
Oh so you've plowed through the whole thing. We watched
one night.
Speaker 8 (01:43:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:43:50):
I never do that ever, ever, ever, ever, But we
were home alone. It was Melissa and I. But there's
only four episodes, right, Yeah, yeah, each.
Speaker 6 (01:43:57):
One's like I don't know, forty forty five minutes to
an hour. We never do that, and I was like,
I can't. I mean, I know how the end, I
know how it ends, but I want to know how
they end it. And it was really good.
Speaker 4 (01:44:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:44:10):
Does does President Garfield live in this one?
Speaker 4 (01:44:13):
Rob?
Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
Yes, It's like it's like once upon a time in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (01:44:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:44:18):
The last episode was directed by Quentin Tarantinos. Kills all
the kids and they do anything happened Happily ever after.
Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
It's great.
Speaker 6 (01:44:25):
It's really great, and they do address the fact that,
like who are those people again?
Speaker 8 (01:44:31):
You thought Shaye Wigham was Tom Sigora And when I
was looking at the cast, I was like, oh my god,
the bass player from Aerosmith is in this ah, But no,
of course it was famed actor Bradley Whitford, who was
also in the Diplomat with Carrie Russell this season.
Speaker 6 (01:44:51):
He was Bradley Whitford was great in this show.
Speaker 8 (01:44:54):
They're all good.
Speaker 6 (01:44:55):
It was it's a it's really really good. You're a
historical time pieces at all and I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:44:59):
Not, But you gotta have a cast like this to
pull you through it and make you watch it.
Speaker 6 (01:45:04):
Right, I'm still trying to finish the Ken Burns country
music documentary Reality.
Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
That's why it's good. You're trying to start things.
Speaker 6 (01:45:10):
You sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:45:13):
Nick Offerman's great, great, great in this.
Speaker 3 (01:45:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
Oh I love it. I couldn't give a better thumbs up.
Very nice. I liked it a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:45:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:45:23):
I mean again, when you look at these streamers and
you go, how are they green lighting some of these things,
I'm surprised that they were like, oh, yeah, we're going
to do a four part limited series on the assassination
of President Garfield.
Speaker 6 (01:45:37):
But you know what, though, there's stuff that you learn,
like I did not. I didn't know that he wasn't
supposed to be a candidate. No, I never knew that story. Like,
I never knew that that's how that happened. I gave
and said to my wife, I'm like, that's wild when
you think about where we are in American history and
the way things work now, Like back then they were
like he's he was so good that they were like yeah, yeah, no, no,
(01:45:59):
you see that guy that's sitting right there that's supposed
to be the nominee. Screw him, that guy can get bent,
and we're gonna put our support behind this unknown.
Speaker 8 (01:46:07):
Well, but this is a show too that is there
because of the overall deal that the producers signed. Sure,
so it's like the guys behind Game of Thrones signed
this big deal with Netflix few years ago, and so
they dropped. They if you watched Three Body Problem, which
was an adaptation of this Chinese sci fi thing the
(01:46:27):
Netflix aired, which was real dense, but it was entertaining.
So these guys that get these massive deals with Netflix
or any other streamer, right, Sandler has on with Netflix,
and uh so the guys behind Game of Thrones, the
producers anyway, they signed some big deal and this is
one of those shows. So if you get this overall deal,
they go, what's your next show?
Speaker 6 (01:46:48):
We are gonna do. The assassination of President James Abram
Garfield shot by a disappointed office seeker. It made me
want to go back and watch Lincoln again, Like it
reminded me, like it was so good that like, oh,
good for you. You know, I've never watched Lincoln the
Daniel day Lewis movie.
Speaker 8 (01:47:07):
Nope, oh dude, because I generally don't like those kinds
of mood like I didn't watch John Adams with with
Paul Giamadi on HBO. It's a lot of powdered wings.
I love that this country and it's farm and it's
you know, it's like.
Speaker 6 (01:47:20):
Okay, and that's a little more on the hokey side,
but Lincoln is is at least you know, you're not
seeing the powdered wigs in the nonsense. Yeah, but that time.
Speaker 8 (01:47:28):
The irony for me with Daniel day Lewis is that
this guy famously works as a method actor.
Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
Right we're on set, everybody had to call him mister President.
Speaker 8 (01:47:40):
But when I watch his stuff and there's no denying
he's a great actor and everybody has their own process.
But ironically, for me, when I watch his movies, I go,
that's Daniel day Lewis, because you're like, you know how
like Tom Cruise can't become another character, right, he's Tom Cruise.
I mean he's a victim of his own success. Daniel
(01:48:00):
day Lewis, I need to disappear into the character, but
you don't. All I see is Daniel day Lewis playing
a guy who when they yell cut, he goes over
to Craft Services, still wearing the stove pipe hat and
the beard and have everybody call miss President and.
Speaker 6 (01:48:14):
He would only eat things that were around. Then, come on, bro,
it's called acting.
Speaker 8 (01:48:19):
I love those old actors like Anthony Hopkins and Richard Harris,
these guys that would go out and get just lit
up the night before shooting. They're like, it's called acting, Darling.
Try it sometime. But everyone has their own process. I
love There will be Blood New York.
Speaker 6 (01:48:37):
I mean you should watch that. It's not I mean
it's two and a half hours. It's not tell me
what I should watch. I tell you all the time.
You don't listen anyway, So why not.
Speaker 8 (01:48:48):
Tommy Lee Jones is girl Tommy Lee in that movie,
The Drummer for Motley Crue.
Speaker 2 (01:48:54):
He's fantastic in that film. He plays his penis.
Speaker 8 (01:49:00):
I'm Tommy Lee's penis and I'm working my way through
this scene.
Speaker 15 (01:49:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
Sally Field plays Mary Todd Lincoln.
Speaker 6 (01:49:08):
It's so good.
Speaker 8 (01:49:09):
You got to see it, all right, you won't no listen.
Speaker 2 (01:49:13):
Lincoln is one of those movies that when I'm kind
of clicking around and.
Speaker 8 (01:49:16):
Go oh, but then you know what happens. I land
on Pluto, the streamer Pluto, and I end up watching
nine hours of Fraser.
Speaker 6 (01:49:26):
You know again.
Speaker 8 (01:49:28):
Yeah, Tommy Lee's penis. Uh, Daniel day Lewis as Tommy
Lee's penis. It was brought forth upon this nation. All right,
I gotta take a break. We'll send me a text
(01:49:49):
three five Alancoxshow dot com. Alan, I'd rather see James A.
Garfield Zombie Hunter. I did watch Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
years ago, and it was terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:50:02):
Of course it is. The name tells you it's terrible.
Speaker 8 (01:50:04):
Well, but like the book was supposed to be kind
of funny and I get what they were doing, but
they did not.
Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
The movie was dumb.
Speaker 6 (01:50:12):
H James A.
Speaker 8 (01:50:13):
Garfield's house is in Menor Yeah, I know they call him.
The first episode is called The Man from Ohio.

I saved it because I want to go see. They
have a monument to him.

Speaker 8 (01:53:31):
Right, what do you mean the ladies. Rob, I you
know I have to bring things to work. I meant
my ladies out to make myself camera ready. My ladies,
you had to carry around a makeup bags. You'd certainly
never know it to look at me. But I do
like to try to make myself camera ready.
Speaker 3 (01:53:53):
Now.
Speaker 8 (01:53:53):
These are dreamy in that picture with Wolfy. I'll tell
you that one. These are locks very low res cameras
and blurrier. I am the better I look. No, I
look terrible these days, and I'm aware of it. I
think I do not, but I appreciate you right next
to wolf long hair, and then there's me who can't
(01:54:16):
grow long hair. So yes, I'm the one with penis envy. Well,
but that's just hair. I mean it's I will say,
I am looking pretty thin. I saw that photo, right, Yeah,
Rob and I. When Wolfe van Halen was in here,
we took a photo with him, which again I don't
do very often because it just feels like a little goofy.
But he was great and I wanted to do that
(01:54:36):
because he was kind enough to come in, and so
Rob and I both posted on our respective social media
accounts our picture with Wolfe van Halen yea.
Speaker 6 (01:54:47):
And Rob is dare I say spelt. I wouldn't say
spelt smelt, but live. It's noticeable when you see it yourself,
you're like, all right, it is work. Yep, and yes
I did wear the Mammoth hoodie now that I didn't know. Yeah,
(01:55:07):
feels a little thirsty. I won't do it tomorrow. I
did it today.
Speaker 8 (01:55:11):
Yeah, But you know what, there's there's really no thing
anymore with wearing the shirt at the band you're going
to see. That used to be verboting back in the day.
You did not wear the shirt of the band you're
going to see. Now nobody cares. It felt a little hacky,
and I think it's maybe to everyone's credit, it's just
a silly thing that people finally got rid of.
Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
I chalked that up to.
Speaker 8 (01:55:37):
Just younger generations saying who cares? But you can wear
see it all the time. Every show you go to,
a huge portion of that crowd is gonna have that
band's shirt on.
Speaker 6 (01:55:51):
I'll buy another one while I'm there tomorrow because this
one has the WVH on it, and I want the
new Mammoth.
Speaker 8 (01:55:58):
You want the no wh but also that is og
so you want to hang on to it. I will.
Speaker 6 (01:56:03):
They offered me a freebie at at the show, and
I said, no, no, thank you, no, thank you. I
love this band and will support them by purchasing my
own hoodie. That's right, that's what I did. I always
buy merch.
Speaker 2 (01:56:15):
Yep. I want to support my own they support the bands.
Speaker 18 (01:56:19):
I like.
Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (01:56:23):
But Rob is I'll say it again, he's looking smelled. Yeah, Willowy,
you know what I'll go with, willowy. Wow, how do
you like that?
Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
I don't hate it.
Speaker 8 (01:56:35):
I mean I'd like to put you in front of
that guy that accosted you in the frozen food section
of the grocery store that the year ago.
Speaker 6 (01:56:44):
Yeah, I mean, look, I still look like a low rent,
chubbier version of Kevin Stefanski for sure, but a less
chubby version of Kevin Stefanski does.
Speaker 8 (01:56:53):
Sound like that guy is some willowy dude walking around, you.
Speaker 6 (01:56:57):
Know, minus thirty pounds if you can believe it out
thirty pounds yep. Thanks to my friends at mentality It's
mentality health dot com slash Radio.
Speaker 8 (01:57:08):
I'll tell you what. One of these days, people are
going to refer to Rob as being of delicate build.
Speaker 2 (01:57:16):
I hope for not that.
Speaker 8 (01:57:17):
Oh okay, good, because you don't want to get you.
Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
I don't want to cross that line.
Speaker 8 (01:57:22):
You know what I mean? Older you get no being
too thin?
Speaker 2 (01:57:26):
Yeah, I don't want that.
Speaker 6 (01:57:27):
It starts to look weird and I don't want to
got to walk a very fine line. I don't want
to get super yoked either, like I don't. I don't
have any desire to get big. I don't want to
spend days in the gym, but I do want to
level it out, balance a little better. Okay, you know
what I mean. You're not going to get yoked.
Speaker 2 (01:57:45):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (01:57:46):
Okay, we'll see. I guess you never know what happens.
Speaker 8 (01:57:49):
The body has a mind if its own allan, do
you lift it all a little?
Speaker 5 (01:57:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:57:53):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:57:53):
But for me, it's mostly like I would much rather do.
And I know this is going to sound stupid.
Speaker 6 (01:57:58):
I would rather do push ups and sit ups until
I threw up, then go into the gym and lyft.
Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
I hate lifting. I hate it.
Speaker 8 (01:58:05):
I love it. I do it every day.
Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
Oh, I hate it so much, love it. It's cardio
I hate. Yeah, I don't. And you're supposed to have
a good balance. Jesus, I hate can't. I can't.
Speaker 8 (01:58:14):
I'll run occasionally, but it's like people who like love
to run. I really do envy them because I'm like Jesus,
I can't imagine just a worse fate.
Speaker 6 (01:58:21):
And then there's people that like, oh, there's that, Uh,
what do you call it to me? The runners high
that you hit? Yeah, like, I ran a lot. I
skated sprints for years. I ran like an insane man
all the things I had to do. So you know what,
I never had any type of euphoria from it. I
was pissed off every second I had to do it. Oh,
(01:58:41):
here go do some more suicides. Oh cool, All right, awesome,
this is fun. Running sucks.
Speaker 8 (01:58:48):
Why they're called suicides? Yeah, Ellen, no one actually calls
it the land. You better tell them that because buddy, Yeah,
you better tell everybody else that because they must all
be wrong. Scooping up those shirts at CLI Clothing. Boy,
I don't know what to tell you. Hey, they must
(01:59:10):
all be wrong. Ellen, it looks like Wolfe is taking
a picture of their grandparents. I have to infer that
in this scenario, Rob, I am the grandmother. Is that
what it is? Because I have long hair and it's gray.
I'm the grandmother in this. At least you get to
(01:59:31):
be the grandfather the grandmother. I don't like any of it.
Listen to that, oh, or press, I don't know who
that is. I don't know if it's a sir or madam.
I don't know who that is. Well, whatever, Grandma, what
(01:59:54):
do you think about that? A bunch?
Speaker 2 (01:59:57):
That's what I thank you, Grandma. I meank you. I
love you.
Speaker 3 (02:00:00):
A bunch of assholes.
Speaker 2 (02:00:01):
All right, we heard you.
Speaker 6 (02:00:03):
Calm down.
Speaker 8 (02:00:03):
It's a boner, she really does. Grammy has a boner
for cursing. What owner? Who? What owner?
Speaker 6 (02:00:14):
All Right?
Speaker 8 (02:00:15):
I love you? Okay, Well there you go. Anyway, picture
with the Wolfe van Halen. That show is tomorrow night.
There are a couple of I can't tickets remaining.
Speaker 6 (02:00:24):
It give me a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (02:00:25):
Yeah, we'll see you there. Looking forward to that one
for sure.
Speaker 17 (02:00:27):
In the Cleveland Station November Hill, a panel appeared on.
Speaker 8 (02:00:33):
The window sill with a circle cut out.
Speaker 5 (02:00:37):
Oh what a side.
Speaker 17 (02:00:39):
The mystery grew in the fading line. Snowflake's fallen whispers grow?
What's behind that panel's glow? That's the glory?
Speaker 15 (02:00:54):
What could it be?
Speaker 5 (02:00:56):
A portal to.
Speaker 17 (02:00:57):
Joy or a mystery jingle bells ring As the stories
roll of Cleveland's so fast.
Speaker 8 (02:01:11):
You'll notice that we never divulge the location. We're greedy
in that way of the glory. Yeah, you know we
were asked to now devulge the location. You know, maybe
think of this song other than every waking moment. Recently
they put up the Christmas among the decorations out here
in the suite at iHeart Cleveland. Other were fully in
(02:01:32):
Christmas mode. They put up the tree. It's right across
from your desk.
Speaker 3 (02:01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:01:38):
Yeah, you put up the tree where the ornaments have
all the employees' names on them.
Speaker 6 (02:01:42):
Yes, not only one ornament.
Speaker 8 (02:01:44):
I mean, although that would be easy.
Speaker 6 (02:01:47):
Probably care that.
Speaker 8 (02:01:47):
Would be easier to do. You need a lot less
glue and a lot less glitter. But I was looking.
I got word this morning. It was like a slap
in the face. I got word this morning that one
of our salespeople quit. And she's been here a long time.
I work quite closely with her, and I hadn't heard
that she left. We don't get any notification anymore. When
somebody leaves the company. It feels it's bad for the
(02:02:10):
esprit de corps. So you just have to find out,
you know, months later or whatever when you haven't seen
this person. And the first thing I thought was, do
they go to the tree and remove it? Is there
like any kind of ceremony? Or would I walk over
to that tree. I didn't really take the time to
do it. Would we walk over that tree and find
ornaments of people who are long gone? Oh?
Speaker 18 (02:02:30):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:02:31):
Do they winnow out the ornaments year to year?
Speaker 6 (02:02:34):
They do?
Speaker 3 (02:02:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:02:35):
So I oh, you know this. I watched it this year.
It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. So our
Tracy was going through and sort of okay, this person's here,
she's our office manager, and Amy, our promotions and marketing guru,
walked over and she was like, oh, we could use
these for other things. So it was just peeling names
(02:02:58):
off of them. It was the most like sad thing
I've ever seen because it was this monster pile of
names of people.
Speaker 8 (02:03:05):
It was it's like rendered visually the colleagues we've lost, Yeah,
and the comrades in the last year.
Speaker 6 (02:03:12):
Well, and you think about it, right, like Bill and
Mary were in November. Yes, they have the Jeremiah ornament.
So those things were already they were still there, like
Bill had an ornament, Mary had an ornament, Jeremiah. So
it's like they're like, oh that one. I guess we could,
we could, And I'm just sitting there watching the peel
names all like this is the worst. And then a
whole bunch just sort of went in the trash.
Speaker 5 (02:03:33):
I think.
Speaker 6 (02:03:34):
For like, we had people here with name like who
was that and like, oh, that was a salesperson that
was here for like a year and a half, Like
I've never heard that name, Oh seen that person in
my life.
Speaker 8 (02:03:44):
Sales is more of a revolving door when when you
get kind of some younger people in because they have
a real kind of hard time getting their their their footing.
Yeah no, I mean yeah, but I wondered, Okay, well
then that's you know, for for sure you saw it happen.
Speaker 6 (02:04:01):
I did, and then I saw it like around the
building there's a couple of people who weren't here and
they just grabbed the ornaments.
Speaker 8 (02:04:06):
Anyway, It's like, yeah, well I'm gonna keep it there
the way, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (02:04:10):
Just like there's other like people that aren't here anymore,
and they grabbed like somebody grabbed their ornament just to
say that they like have.
Speaker 8 (02:04:16):
It, give it to them whatever, give it to them.
Oh I see, yeah, not peel their name off. No, yeah,
and again I get it. No, I fully understand. I
just wondered if, and if I'm being perfectly honest, I
couldn't imagine them just willy nilly throwing all the old
ornaments on. So I was kind of being cheeky about it.
But for you to describe it like that, Oh, it was, dude,
(02:04:39):
it was. It was like it hardcore man, Yeah.
Speaker 13 (02:04:43):
It was.
Speaker 4 (02:04:44):
It was.
Speaker 8 (02:04:45):
It was very like and the next year, by this
time next year, there'll be fewer ornaments.
Speaker 2 (02:04:50):
Yeah, like we won't be on there and they'll be peeling.
Speaker 8 (02:04:54):
But it's easy for me. It's only three letters to
peel off. Oh God, isn't the to clit Ratler? No, No,
that's the most festive way to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:05:03):
I think I'm in gold.
Speaker 8 (02:05:06):
And gold who prints up the labels? I think the
that's what we've got to do is find out is
it like on a cricket or something? Or I think
wasn't it what's her name to them all?
Speaker 2 (02:05:15):
Joanne? Another saleswoman.
Speaker 6 (02:05:17):
I think she might have made them Okay, I gotta
ask her. Then, hey, put our names?
Speaker 8 (02:05:22):
Hey, could you make me one that says clit rattler?
What excuse me?
Speaker 2 (02:05:28):
Yeah, no, no, I'm not going to do that on
thank you, And I'm.
Speaker 6 (02:05:31):
Really really hyah jarringly uncomfortable that you asked me.
Speaker 8 (02:05:36):
Yeah, all right, fine, then I'll do it. I'll figure
out how she does it, and I'll do it. It's
like one of those old war movies where they find
all the tags. You know, obviously it's a little dramatic,
but you know these are our fallen comrades in broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (02:05:55):
Yeah, but the difference is, well, who might be out
of the business forever?
Speaker 6 (02:05:58):
At least in those movies, these people were like, oh,
we should return the tags to the families in this place.
Speaker 8 (02:06:03):
They just like ground the names off and wrote new
ones on.
Speaker 3 (02:06:09):
Right.
Speaker 8 (02:06:10):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (02:06:11):
We got a new board. Ops starting.
Speaker 6 (02:06:13):
Don't we require that much work? Like you said, they
just peel the name off. Yeah, just give her Mary's
a ornament. You're fine, right, Hey, one's crazy.
Speaker 8 (02:06:22):
Our employee ornaments are like beer, rob, you don't buy
it is rented. We can Yeah, we can use those forever, hm,
especially since that tree only started when we came downtown, right,
we didn't have those in independence, and this is this
it's only a couple of years old. Well, this is
the third year, right, so it's it's that means the
(02:06:44):
ones that you saw removed this year were just of
the last year.
Speaker 2 (02:06:49):
That's what I mean. Year to year there are fewer people.
Speaker 6 (02:06:51):
So so the year Friar's batch had already been weeded out.
Speaker 2 (02:06:54):
Yeah, yeah, pretty soon.
Speaker 5 (02:06:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:06:57):
Then it becomes when when will we be handed?
Speaker 8 (02:07:02):
Can you imagine if that's how they You know, there's
a lot of companies and this one is no different.
There's a lot of companies that will let people go
right before the holidays.
Speaker 3 (02:07:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:07:14):
You imagine if the way that they begin to do
it is handing people the ornament with their name on it.
Speaker 6 (02:07:19):
Oh, wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 10 (02:07:21):
Now?
Speaker 6 (02:07:21):
I think it'd be like getting a pink slip. But
like they're like, well here you can keep this ornament
as a memory of your to go.
Speaker 2 (02:07:28):
What what happened did you get? I got ornamented? I
was ornamented.
Speaker 8 (02:07:35):
Yeah, I got red bald right in my hand. All right,
I assume they're plastic. They're not like the they are
playing the glass ornaments east Balls.
Speaker 2 (02:07:45):
Yes, mine's red. Are you on a red one as well?
I don't know. I've never seen mine. I'll have to
find it. And then some are like like written like incursive.
Speaker 8 (02:07:56):
Yeah, others are like I have to imagine that the
ones in cursive that look like glitter on glue, like
your kid's you know, project, I have to imagine those
are the og people, you think, Yeah, because they're still here, right.
If subsequent people are just getting your name on a
sticker like like it came out of a brother p touch,
(02:08:18):
you know, they're just gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:08:20):
Start printing them up with the most common names.
Speaker 8 (02:08:22):
I mean you are, but you are one of the
last people of note to be hired here. Literally, you
might be the last person here to be hired. I
think before you, it was carl I'm talking about people
who have colled like outside the market. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean Carletta before you, Yeah, a g issue was
(02:08:46):
at WGA R.
Speaker 4 (02:08:49):
Was.
Speaker 8 (02:08:49):
I think you are the probably the last person to
be brought in from out of town.
Speaker 2 (02:08:54):
That's scary here, that's really scary. I mean there are
that many people in general. There's me, there's you.
Speaker 5 (02:09:02):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (02:09:02):
She's gone, it's crazy, but we do have an update
on our next show phone screener.
Speaker 8 (02:09:20):
Oh good. Now, wait a second. When you say update,
is this something that I don't know or something that
the audience the audience doesn't know. But there's there's a
piece you may now. I was gonna say, I don't
know anything other than the last conversation we had passed
her background check. Oh Jesus say she passed. Wouldn't that
(02:09:44):
be wouldn't that be I'm not laughing at that? No, sorry,
wouldn't that be a way?
Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
She passed past her background check?
Speaker 8 (02:09:54):
So that's good, and you're gonna get her on just
in time to go on vacation for the rest of the.
Speaker 2 (02:10:00):
That's exactly what it's gonna be.
Speaker 6 (02:10:01):
Her computer arrived, she's in the system, and she will
be starting on Monday.
Speaker 8 (02:10:07):
Bye, we have a date. Maybe fantastic? All right, Well,
then we will be introducing the audience to the new
phone screener. We'll be on two days next week because
of Thanksgiving, right, so she'll be here Monday and Tuesday.
Uh huh, then one week, then two weeks all right,
so she'll get some time in.
Speaker 6 (02:10:28):
It's kind of like people.
Speaker 8 (02:10:29):
Will get to know her briefly and then uh their
palettes of everything that will leave them with some anticipation
for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 6 (02:10:39):
Yeah, it's well we started. He only had like a
month together before we took like and last year was crazy.
We were off for like three weeks, yes, you know,
and then we came back and hit the ground run.
And that's what she'll be doing. So I'm looking forward
to it. I can't wait to get her here and
introduce you to her.
Speaker 2 (02:10:52):
She's awesome. She's very, very likable, which these days is
all I'm looking for.
Speaker 8 (02:11:01):
And I'm looking for someone that can answer a phone
that's not me.
Speaker 6 (02:11:05):
Yeah, anyway, Okay, good Monday. Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (02:11:12):
There's been a long time coming, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:11:15):
Now.
Speaker 8 (02:11:16):
They talk about how the wheels of justice grind slowly.
Speaker 2 (02:11:21):
Try hairing a phone screen or an iHeart, So do
the wheels of iHeartMedia grind slowly?
Speaker 5 (02:11:26):
The cock show on one n O zimpic is expensive.
I want to really lose your appetite. You've come to
the right place.
Speaker 8 (02:11:41):
It's the Allen Cox Show on one.
Speaker 3 (02:11:44):
Hundred point seven w MMS.
Speaker 20 (02:11:49):
When he's burning with a fever, Lady's low in the
eyes with the thoughts of reun.
Speaker 6 (02:12:26):
I don't care what you think about Whitesnake Boy. To me,
the high water mark of David Coverdale's career is that
he kept it in Tawny Katain for a long time.
David Coverdale of Whitesnake, who's been on this show a
couple of times over the years. Last time on this
program was Matt had to be three or four years ago,
(02:12:47):
and he's just he just couldn't be nicer.
Speaker 8 (02:12:51):
I'm sure he's mellowed with age. Maybe I don't know
how he was back in the day, but he's just
this constant. You ever talked to David Coverdale, Yes, he's
like a consummate English English gentleman. Yeah, he was living
in Vegas. I think he unloaded or Tahoe. I think
he was unloading his house at the time when I
talked to him. And but he's seventy four years old.
And he posted a video that was part announcement and
(02:13:15):
part kind of montage of his career. He said, it's
a time to retire. He's had a fifty year career
in rock and roll. Time to hang up the skin
tight jeans. I told people for a long time, I said,
it didn't matter what kind of music you were into
if you're a gen xer, and I'm talking about like
(02:13:38):
mid eighties, early eighties, mid eighties, and this is anecdotal, obviously,
but the two albums everyone had at one point, irrespective
of what kind of music you liked, there were two
albums everyone had. They had upstairs at Eric's by Yaz
remember that one. And they had this all titled White
(02:14:00):
Snake album from nineteen eighty seven. This is the one
where David Coverdale recorded the whole thing and then fired
the whole band. Remember that, Yeah, because on the album
it's John Sykes, who I love. You want to talk
about underrated guitarists. I don't think that he ever made
that much of a blip big picture, but I thought
John Sykes was unbelievable. He was kind of in the
(02:14:22):
tail end of Finn Lizzie. I think he did one
album with him, but he did his own solo stuff.
He had a kind of an arena rock band called
Blue Murder in the late eighties. But I just loved
his style and he's all over that self titled White
Snake record. But then they got a guy named Adrian
Vandenberg to go out and he's great too, but they
went out to you know, but that nineteen eighty seven
(02:14:43):
self titled White Snake album, which a lot of these
songs were just reworked White Snake songs, just more produced and.
Speaker 2 (02:14:50):
Glossy and whatever.
Speaker 8 (02:14:52):
But I always had a soft spot for White Snake,
same loved him.
Speaker 6 (02:14:57):
David Coverdale's White Snake was originally two words, was a
joke about his whwang, and then White Snake became the name.
Speaker 8 (02:15:10):
That's true, that's true, you know, and he took his
share of slings and arrows if you will.
Speaker 2 (02:15:15):
You know, he's in deep purple for a bit.
Speaker 8 (02:15:18):
They called him David cover Version for a while because
a lot of people thought he was just aping Robert Plant,
I mean. And then to put pen to paper. He
did an album with Jimmy Page which was great, which
was great. Try finding it streaming. It must be some
legal issues with a label or something, because that is
only on YouTube. I've got the CD still, Rob, don't
(02:15:39):
mind telling you got that Covernail Page CD. It was
a one off Jimmy Page after the firm had split
up and before Page Plant. But David Coverdale says it's
time to go, Time to end his fifty year career,
and he posted a little vide from his dan or something.
Speaker 1 (02:16:03):
And gentlemen, boys and girls, brothers and sisters of the Snake,
special announcement for you. After fifty years plus of incredible
journey with you with Deep Purple with White Snake Jimmy Page.
The last few years has been very evident to me
that it's time really for me to hang up my
(02:16:24):
rock and roll platform shoes and my skin tight jeans.
And as you can see, we've taken care of the
lions wig lions wig, but it's time for me to
call her today.
Speaker 5 (02:16:37):
I love you, Deally.
Speaker 1 (02:16:40):
I thank everyone who's assisted and supported me on this
incredible journey, all the musicians, the crew, the fans, the family.
It's amazing. But it really is time for me to
just enjoy my resirement and I hope you can appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (02:16:55):
Once again.
Speaker 1 (02:16:56):
I love you with all my heart fairly.
Speaker 2 (02:16:59):
Well, what does he mean lion's wig?
Speaker 8 (02:17:03):
Is he copping to? Is that not his hair?
Speaker 6 (02:17:05):
I think he's saying that, Yeah, he hasn't had that
hair in a long time. Really, what it sounded like
to me.
Speaker 8 (02:17:10):
Because it's gray, like why would you wear a gray
wig because you're eighty Well he's seventy four, OK, because
you're seventy four.
Speaker 2 (02:17:20):
Yeah, but he had like hair for a wig? Is
he copping to that being a wig?
Speaker 8 (02:17:24):
That's what I took from it. Why wouldn't he peel
it off a day?
Speaker 2 (02:17:27):
He laughed? The lions lion's wig?
Speaker 3 (02:17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:17:32):
The only man I've got these days is betwixt me legs.
Oh cool that me main vein a lion's mane tail lush?
Speaker 12 (02:17:43):
How would show come push lovely?
Speaker 5 (02:17:55):
Now?
Speaker 8 (02:17:55):
Is that Brian or the Cowardly Lion? I can't remember
the cowardly Bryan fu.
Speaker 12 (02:18:04):
Show.
Speaker 13 (02:18:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:18:08):
So David Coverdale again, he's not really a guy that
you think of very often. And I don't know that
I ever saw Whitesnake live. As much as I really
liked them back in the day, I never got around
to seeing them. And every time they would come through
with like a different iteration, right, he'd go out with
like red Beach or he'd have it just you know.
(02:18:30):
He never had the same band twice. I mean, he
had that kind of classic glam line up late eighties.
It was Steve I, it was Tommy Aldridge playing the drums.
It was Rudy Sarzo on the base that classic line up,
Tommy Aldridge after Ozzie, right, Tommy Aldrich after Ozzy. Yes,
I think Tommy Aldrich was like you and talk about
(02:18:52):
the guy who's pushing eighty. I think he was like
the last guy to hang out in White Snake because
that eighty seven to one was massive for them. Like
I was into them earlier than that, right, I like
to come and get it, I like slide it in.
But they exploded in eighty seven because what because MTV,
MTV Tony Kitten. Yeah on the hood of that jag
(02:19:16):
you are and then slip of the tongue is like
when they came back and tried to follow it up,
but it wasn't as successful, and that was with Steve I.
Speaker 2 (02:19:27):
But I think Tommy Aldridge had been through like most
of the way through and.
Speaker 8 (02:19:35):
Coverdale would put out solo albums, but it would always
say like a Coverdill and White Snake or whatever, you know,
because you had to be associated with that band. But
he was just like a classic British long hair rocker
who just fs Yes, so good for him. Tommy Aldrich
(02:20:00):
is seventy five years.
Speaker 6 (02:20:01):
Old, and he looks every bit of it he does.
But he still plays like a mazing but he looks old.
He's running rail fin.
Speaker 8 (02:20:08):
Yeah, I mean, you know. His hook back in the
day was he would do solos, and as a drummer,
I've never even enjoyed drum solos, but he would play
with his hands. He'd hit the cymbals with his hands.
He hit the drums with his hands like. That was
his kind of hook back in it. Because he played
with like Ozzie and Black Oak Arkansas and all this stuff.
(02:20:29):
Tommy Alders have been playing drums forever. It was a
super group in the eighties called Project Driver, which to
this day is one of my guilty pleasures. If you're
not hip to it, you should find it. If you
like that straight ahead eighties, not glam but super slick metal. Yeah,
they did a one off called Project Driver. It was
(02:20:50):
him Rudy Sarzo, this guitar player named Tony McAlpine, who
I was way into in the eighties. He went on
to do like jazz fusion stuff because you got the
chops for it, and Tommy Singer was terrible. I don't
even remember who that was, but Tommy Alders behind the
drums and he still plays. He's still like you'll see him.
(02:21:11):
I follow a lot of drum accounts on social media.
It's Tommy Aldridge. He's got this huge fro. Yeah, old
man fro. That ain't a wig. You're not having that made.
Speaker 9 (02:21:24):
So I know.
Speaker 2 (02:21:26):
David Coverdale is seventy four.
Speaker 6 (02:21:28):
He's not dead.
Speaker 8 (02:21:30):
You know, he's still alive. He's retiring, he's got grandkids.
We talked about his grandkids last time he's on the show.
But it's a miss.
Speaker 6 (02:21:39):
That's a bummer.
Speaker 8 (02:21:41):
I shouldn't even say a bummer. It's just like kind
of like there's a part of me it likes knowing
these people are out there still touring and playing. Right, yeah,
seventy four and your shirt open, Rob, that's what. That's
how we're gonna start doing the show. When you finally
get to your fight and wait, right, uh huh, you're
(02:22:01):
gonna grow your hair out.
Speaker 6 (02:22:04):
Me and we just want to make sure we're still
talking about me here, Yes, okay, yep, moment movie, Yeah,
grow my hair out.
Speaker 2 (02:22:10):
Yep, huh.
Speaker 8 (02:22:11):
We're gonna wear button down shirts open yeah, down to
whatever dealer's choice, and then we're gonna end every show
with where we interlock arms outstretched and we bow in
front of the camera and then we wave.
Speaker 2 (02:22:27):
You know this like a classic rock show ending. I
like this a lot. This is what I'm saying. Why
can't we do that on my neck? Before we get
together to do it?
Speaker 8 (02:22:39):
Yep, we'll have our new phone screener in here. Yeah,
who hint hint has some expertise in this area. Yeah,
and I never had a White Snake album. Wasn't a
hairband guy. I wasn't either, But that's my point is
it didn't matter what kind of music you were into.
At one point everybody had Upstairs at Eric's and the
(02:23:01):
White Snake album, and those two could not be more different.
Speaker 6 (02:23:10):
So anyway, getting a weird report, I figure this is
the easiest way to test this. Someone said, not sure
if it's just my sorry, not sure if it's just
my vehicle. But I'm not hearing it on other channels.
There's a weird buzz I'm hearing in your broadcast. If
(02:23:33):
you know the sounds like people say that all the time.
If you're hearing that, please shoot me an email or
text in or something.
Speaker 2 (02:23:43):
I hear that all the time from people. Do you
that MMS buzzes the all.
Speaker 6 (02:23:48):
Right, I'm gonna have the Yeah, but that something is
I'll have these dudes look into it, and I assume
that it's just signal interference because there's one hundred point
seven radio station out in Port Clinton or something like that.
Maybe if you if you're hearing it and it's not
something you always hear, send me an email rob at
WMMS dot com. Oh, thank you, And then what are
you gonna do. I'm gonna send it on to the
engineers and go, can we fix this please today now, stat.
Speaker 8 (02:24:14):
I'm working on something for the other stage. I don't
care about the other stations.
Speaker 2 (02:24:18):
Care about this one.
Speaker 5 (02:24:19):
Fix it?
Speaker 2 (02:24:19):
You fix it about that?
Speaker 6 (02:24:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:24:24):
Was cover Hill on the burn record for Deep Purple?
Which one was he on? That's a good question.
Speaker 8 (02:24:29):
Or was that Glenn Hughes or.
Speaker 6 (02:24:32):
Keith Purple Burn?
Speaker 8 (02:24:36):
Yeah, first one with then unknown lead singer David covered
out all right, but he was on Basable. This is
when Deep Purple was at the peak of their powers,
(02:24:57):
and all of a sudden I got a brand new guy,
Ian Gillan Bales right, and they grab covered alle.
Speaker 6 (02:25:04):
Good consolation prize.
Speaker 8 (02:25:05):
Man, It's always the drummer who hangs out right Ian
Pace is still the last remaining original member of Deep Purple.
(02:25:26):
What's his name from Pink Floyd? Nick Mason still the
only guy who's been on every album. Drummer's just back
there collecting checks and playing the beat man. If you
can make that happen for yourself at that level, you're golden.
Speaker 2 (02:25:40):
Nick Mason's the luckiest guy in rock and roll.
Speaker 5 (02:25:42):
Man.
Speaker 6 (02:25:42):
Yeah, he's not the world's greatest drummer, not setting the
world on fire, but perfect for that band.
Speaker 2 (02:25:47):
That's what I mean, Like, it doesn't require that much.
Speaker 8 (02:25:51):
Jeez.
Speaker 2 (02:25:52):
I don't think I knew Satriani was in Deep.
Speaker 8 (02:25:54):
Purple Joe Satriani or Frank Satriani, Joseph it's made that
up Joe.
Speaker 6 (02:26:01):
Yeah, well, I had no idea, it says past members.
I had no clue he was in that bad.
Speaker 8 (02:26:07):
Joe Satrianni in Deep Purple briefly toured with them after
Richie Blackmore left again in ninety three.
Speaker 6 (02:26:15):
Wow, how about that I had, I would have never
connected those two dots. Huh, SA's Riata.
Speaker 8 (02:26:21):
I mean, if you want to be out there play,
if you get the call me go, Hey, do you
want to come out and play space trucking. You go
Hell's yet, Yes, sure do yeah. If you listen on iHeartRadio,
tell me where you do it.
Speaker 13 (02:26:39):
Well.
Speaker 8 (02:26:39):
I'd like to make sure our bureau chieves are represented
on our map. James Listens in Tampa, Florida. Mike's out
in Seattle. Holly and Paul are bureau chiefs in Phoenix,
Steve Listens in Sacramento, Carrie is in Clayton, North Carolina.
Or Brandon moved to Des Moines recently, and we were
talking about like pushy sales people or whatever, and he's
(02:27:02):
like Jesus, I went to a mall here and the
employees working.
Speaker 2 (02:27:07):

Speaker 8 (02:27:11):
Yeah, they're looking to you know, hey one a I

Speaker 8 (02:27:36):
I laid on top of the Great Salt Lake, barely sank.
Speaker 2 (02:27:41):
Hmm.
Speaker 8 (02:27:42):
Now I am just a slip of a lass. Nevertheless,
this is what you'll hear out there wide Sargasso. See Anyway,
if you don't listen to us on the app, leave
messages for us there or on the after hours line.
Speaker 2 (02:28:00):
Leslie checking in.
Speaker 4 (02:28:01):
Hello boys, it's Leslie. I'm calling to discuss something that
I'm assuming will be of interest to Don Robert Anthony
of the Klitratper family. But every November my husband has
me sit down and watch man movies with him. We
already gone through Goodfellas and The Godfather. Wanted two movies,
no notes. However, I'd never seen the third Godfather movie.
(02:28:24):
I don't understand how this movie back in the early nineties.
Granted I was a literal infant when it came out
was made, and yes I understand I'm very late to
this party, but here we are. How on earth did
a literal incest plotline between two first cousins make it
on the chopping block for this movie?
Speaker 21 (02:28:43):
It was a weird and wild watch that was immediately
in Thanks I hate it territory. Anyway, I was hoping
this was their discussion of manly movies that may not
have aged great and give Don quit Rattler an opportunity
to procus that his tony soprano impression because it makes
me giggle so much.
Speaker 4 (02:29:00):
I love you boys. Happy Monday.
Speaker 2 (02:29:03):
She's christ See she loves it, doesn't she pain in
my ass?
Speaker 4 (02:29:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:29:10):
Uh, calm Jesus, calm.
Speaker 8 (02:29:15):
I like the meme where he's like he was just
talking to him, like somebody dies, what are you talking about? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:29:22):
So Leslie watched The Godfather three.
Speaker 6 (02:29:28):
Watch storyline.
Speaker 2 (02:29:29):
Yeah, maybe Mary's the cousin.
Speaker 8 (02:29:31):
All right now he listen. I want to go all
Megan Kelly defending pedophilia here. But you know, first cousins
hooking up rob it isn't technically incest. She referred to
it as an incestual relationship. I don't think it's frowned
upon now, you know, but it was pretty common for
(02:29:53):
a long time. Twenty twenty four states still let you
marry your first cousin.
Speaker 6 (02:29:58):
That's the epitome of it. Like other than siblings, it
doesn't get any closer than fun.
Speaker 8 (02:30:03):
But I thought, I thought legally, like I know, technically
incense is like blood relative, but I thought when you
got the first cousins, like you got the same grandparents,
I thought the law kind of look the other way.
Speaker 6 (02:30:14):
That would be like your mom's sister, like sisters, that's
an aunt my kid, your mom's sister's kid.
Speaker 8 (02:30:21):
Yeah, but didn't a lot of people listen. If you're
having fun with a hot cousin, the problem comes from
like inbreeding over multiple generations.
Speaker 2 (02:30:29):
That's what I think people are talking about. They are
not a place to go to meet women. Family reunions
are not.
Speaker 8 (02:30:34):
The solution, they say, Rob, if you can't keep it
in your pants, keep it in the family.
Speaker 2 (02:30:41):
Now what they say. Unfortunately, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:30:46):
Now.
Speaker 8 (02:30:46):
I didn't have cousins hot or otherwise, so I have
no expertise in that area. But boy, there's a lot
to be blue dead and who have those kinds of stories.
Speaker 2 (02:30:57):
I made it with a cousin. I made my cousin.
Speaker 8 (02:31:01):
So to Leslie, just zeroing in on that one part
of her question there, Yeah, that's pretty wild. If you're
looking for manly movies that didn't hold up, I think
all of them. I think fundamentally. If you're talking about
a stereotypical manly movie, those aren't going to hold up
very well. Now, unless you're talking about like the rock
(02:31:22):
walking around and kicking people's asses. But the manly movies,
I don't know. I think a lot of them, you
could probably The Godfather was the only one she mentioned.
I don't think I ever finished the Third Godfather. I
think that's not necessary. I pulled the ripcord on that one.
Nobody has to watch the Last Godfather because that's the
one where they cast Sophia Coppola. Yeah, and Tara Michael.
(02:31:45):
Just when I thought I was out, they put me back. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:31:49):
It's bad, just crap. The only way to ever watch
that movie, if you're going to watch that movie, is
if you watch it when they combined them all and
they did the like in order. So Godfather Too basically
starts because it's young Vito, and then it works its
way through and they borrow from each movie to put
things here and there in the right chronological order. That's
(02:32:12):
the only if you're if you feel the need to
watch three, that's the only way to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:32:17):
Three is the worst movie I've ever seen it.
Speaker 8 (02:32:19):
And especially since like Coppola only did it because he
needed money, right, so he had initially cast Winona Ryder,
but she was you know, this is nineteen ninety. She
was one of the hottest actresses out there as far
as like working in success and all that, and so
she's like, I gotta chill out for a bit.
Speaker 2 (02:32:38):
So they put Sophia Coppole in there. Yeah, Nicholas Cage's cousin.
And uh yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:32:45):
Coppola had done this movie called One from the Heart.
This is a guy who, like, I can't believe this
guy ever has money, No wonder he has a wine business.
This guy spends so much of his own money on
movies that flop hard. He did this Megalopolis Ago. He
spent one hundred million dollars or something of his own money,
and it's like Jesus Christ, you couldn't tell on paper.
Speaker 2 (02:33:06):
Nobody cared about this.
Speaker 8 (02:33:08):
And Godfather three he needed money and so he had
won nothing to do with it, and the studios like,
we'll give you this much money, all right. Yeah, I
mean he wanted to kill Michael Corleone. They were like,
new way, I haven't Yeah, maybe I'll go back and
finish it.
Speaker 6 (02:33:24):
It's it's not necessary. Really, I'm telling you, man, you're
gonna it's bad. It's it's a it's jarringly bad. How
bad that movie is. Yeah, with the legacy of the
first ones. That Oh my god, those those those first
movies are incredible. I'm partial to two.
Speaker 3 (02:33:46):
I love.
Speaker 2 (02:33:47):
I don't think I've ever finished two.
Speaker 6 (02:33:48):
Oh well, then now you got an issue. But you know, uh,
that's that's the better of the two movies in my opinion.
When you've got de Niro playing young Veto and it
all starts the olive oil business.
Speaker 8 (02:34:02):
E Veto, I'm running olive oil in my businesses.
Speaker 2 (02:34:05):
That's exactly what he's that's none. I guess there's no read.
Speaker 6 (02:34:08):
You need to finish it.
Speaker 8 (02:34:10):
Oh, it's like I'm right here.
Speaker 2 (02:34:11):
It's like he's right here. Yes, like somebody's right here.
Speaker 3 (02:34:14):
It is good.
Speaker 8 (02:34:16):
Alan. Could you ask David Lee Roth if he's tired
of all these iHeart glitches.
Speaker 6 (02:34:23):
I'm gonna go with yes, I am no, he doesn't
sounds silent. Yeah, that's weird. I asked people to email
me and thank you. I've gotten about thirty of them.
So clearly the buzz is not something that's unique to
one person.
Speaker 8 (02:34:42):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. All right, I should have just played
sat my entire interview with Wolfe van Halen should have
just been me playing these like I alluded to them,
and he played along, but he had no idea what
he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (02:34:56):
Oh I think he did.
Speaker 6 (02:34:57):
I think he knew exactly what you were talking about,
because he's said he has made a lot of noises. Yeah,
I think he knew exactly.
Speaker 8 (02:35:05):
What you want. Hey, were you excited for Wolfe to
be here? M that's somebody kicking him in the Cashew
The Allen.
Speaker 7 (02:35:16):
Cox Show on one hundred point seven call the Allan
Cox Show.
Speaker 8 (02:35:23):
It's for living out radio workplace fantasies.
Speaker 2 (02:35:26):
And if I have to explain that to you, it's
clear you don't deserve it.
Speaker 13 (02:35:29):
Six seven eight one double oh seven or one three
four eight one double o seven.
Speaker 8 (02:35:45):
Your Cleveland Cavalier's back on the for tonight. They got
over on the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night, staying at
home for a minute, playing the Mealy Walk Bucks tonight.
Who are I mean, they're technically they're a good team.
They're technically kind of in the middle of the pack
right now. But Calves Bucks tonight seven o'clock, the Rocket
(02:36:07):
Arena right around the corner. This is when they're rolling
out the City Edition stuff tonight has that we said, yeah,
they sure are They were kind enough to drop off
some swag for us.
Speaker 6 (02:36:17):
Yeah, it's got orange. It's cool looking, uh cool looking uniform.
I mean orange is pretty uh ubiquitous. You have the calves,
like I was, every iteration.
Speaker 8 (02:36:27):
Of them, I thought, has got kind.
Speaker 6 (02:36:28):
Of well that, but this this particular version of it,
like it's a almost I don't know, how would you say,
like a neon, but.
Speaker 2 (02:36:34):
Like it's like a pastel orange is what it looks
like to me.
Speaker 8 (02:36:39):
Hey, you go, pastel orange is what I was looking for.
Speaker 6 (02:36:42):
I uh.
Speaker 2 (02:36:43):
I also am not great with colors, a little on
the color blind side of things.
Speaker 6 (02:36:47):
So is that true?
Speaker 3 (02:36:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:36:48):
Yeah, this is green and red. So this is almost
like a peach, like a peachy orange. Yeah, it's a
peachy orange orange or orch yep, you know some manteau
of those. I thought color blindness was you mean the color.
Speaker 6 (02:37:05):
I struggle with color certain colors. I have a hard
time seeing reds and or like I can't if it's
far away. I can't see apples on a tree. I
can see the shape, I can't see the.
Speaker 2 (02:37:15):
If it's far away. You can't see apples on a tree.
Speaker 6 (02:37:18):
Yeah, you like the red apples on the tree, right,
I get up close, I can see it. Well, how
do you do with traffic lights? That's always my process.
I mean obviously you know where they light up, you know, Yeah,
And it's not but it's not like I can't see them.
Some people have it like where there's no color whatsoever.
It's not like that with me at all. I just
from a distance with a dead middler against him. From
(02:37:42):
a distance, I can't. I can't see the red on
the green tree. But when I get close, it's fine.
I can I can see it enough.
Speaker 8 (02:37:50):
Huh, all right, is this something you were diagnosed with
or I like, if you have to take those tests
where the little bubbles and the number in the middle,
can you see those?
Speaker 10 (02:37:59):
Not all?
Speaker 2 (02:38:00):
It depends on the colors.
Speaker 6 (02:38:01):
Yeah, there's different versions of color blindness, and I just
I think I have a small touch of it somehow,
because there's just certain things I can't see.
Speaker 8 (02:38:10):
I mean the first line in Bette Midler's song from
a distance, the world looks blue and green?
Speaker 6 (02:38:14):
Does that jam you up?
Speaker 3 (02:38:16):
Nope?
Speaker 6 (02:38:16):
Okay, I see blues and greens.
Speaker 5 (02:38:18):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (02:38:20):
I get made fun of from my family often because
of things that I think match and don't like blues
that clearly are not the same blues. I mess those
up constantly, Green, I mess up.
Speaker 8 (02:38:32):
And in a situation like that where most people would
hope for some understanding and support from your family, in
turn they mock you.
Speaker 6 (02:38:40):
Oh yes, huh, but Alan, I'm so near perfect. They
have to find what they can, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (02:38:47):
Also, every dad is just a dick. There's no way
around it. Every dad is just a dope. Yeah, they
laugh at me. Yeah, and they mock I look at dad.
Oh yeah, that's the same Uh, that's the same color blue.
There isn't it, dad. One's navy and one's not. I'll
go okay, I'm not changing ellen there metro parks inspired yes, really?
Speaker 6 (02:39:18):
Why no green?
Speaker 12 (02:39:18):
Then?
Speaker 2 (02:39:19):
I don't know. But it says right on it inspired
by Cleveland Metro Park.
Speaker 8 (02:39:23):
Oh it does? Where does it say that on the paper?
Speaker 9 (02:39:26):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (02:39:26):
I didn't get paper.
Speaker 6 (02:39:28):
You didn't get one of these now here. I didn't
get no press release a thing. It's got a bag
of the buddies. Little novella inspired by the Cleveland metro Parks.
All right, ha, how so let's see hold On says
right here? Uh. Building on Cleveland celebrated twenty two to
twenty three city edition, which paid tribute to the Lake
Erie coastline, the Cleveland Metro Parks twenty five thousand acres
(02:39:51):
of protected green space, and introduce the fans to the
land design. This year's remix revives that story with fresh
colors and details inspired by the Cleveland met Park's role
as the guardian of Northeast Ohio's natural beauty. The uniform
captures the hues of Cleveland sunsets and fall foliage.
Speaker 8 (02:40:09):
Okay, hence the orange. That was a long way to
get there, the pure inge. Yeah, okay, yeah, I was what.
Speaker 6 (02:40:17):
I went and bought that hat last week before I
went to the game on Thursday, and they had all
this stuff in there, and I'm like, can I get
something that isn't I just want the Calves logo.
Speaker 2 (02:40:28):
I found it.
Speaker 8 (02:40:30):
The captures the hues of Cleveland, sunsets and fall foliage.
Speaker 2 (02:40:34):
Okay, what about the hues of the Garvans. Does it
catch the hues of the Garvans at all? The Noland
emerges RN.
Speaker 22 (02:40:40):
While the university or the un mission as whole received
support from all potteries in the hues of the Garvans,
today excuse me.
Speaker 8 (02:40:51):
Yeah, when are you gonna give me a uniform that
captures the hughes of the Garvans next year? All right,
Cleveland has always been a city that shocks the world.
This quote says, whether on the court or out in nature. Boy,
that's no joke. I will say that people who don't
realize what an unbelievable park system Northeast Ohio has. Oh
(02:41:13):
for sure, that is no joke. There's a lot of
blow and smoke up our own asses when it comes
to Cleveland. But that is that is an understatement. Did
you get the page three yet? You see what they
do with the court? Let them know? Is that still
there a mantra?
Speaker 5 (02:41:24):
It is?
Speaker 2 (02:41:25):
But not it's not on the court. It's what it's not.
Speaker 6 (02:41:29):
It's not on the court for this for the thing,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (02:41:31):
No, they have a special floor.
Speaker 6 (02:41:33):
Oh all right? Does it still say the addition says
the land on it? Yeah, got like the little sun
over the cool All right. So that's a lot of
work then for them. Oh yeah, this is a big deal.
Speaker 8 (02:41:43):
Yeah, Okay, no, I get that.
Speaker 5 (02:41:45):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (02:41:45):
Yeah, they're all they're all psyched up, man, all right, yeah, good, No,
I like it. So it starts tonight. I guess is
the first like the yeah Cavs Bucks. Yeah, yeah, city
edition uniform tonight. So people get these or they do?
Speaker 2 (02:41:57):
You do what they did?
Speaker 8 (02:41:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:41:58):
They like people walk in to get them. Is it
one of those like us?
Speaker 8 (02:42:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:42:03):
No that I don't know. I don't know about that.
I thought, I'm sorry that the stores they have everything
for sale. I'm sure they have. I didn't look to
see if it's a theme night.
Speaker 2 (02:42:10):
But sure it is. Okay, good, good, congratulations? Yeah I
like that. Uh like a cream sickle? Oh, like a
cream sickle or some sherbet.
Speaker 13 (02:42:26):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (02:42:27):
Indeed, Alan, have you eulogized the Kessler sisters from Germany?
Speaker 1 (02:42:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (02:42:36):
Who were they? Who's that? Alice and Ellen Kessler ended
their lives together?
Speaker 6 (02:42:46):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (02:42:47):
They were once famous entertainers chose to end their lives
on the same day. These are the Kessler sisters and
happier times Mark Schnell loss.
Speaker 6 (02:43:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:43:01):
Okay, well by you've asking these Christians?
Speaker 8 (02:43:06):
They died today, choosing to end their lives together through
medical aid in dying.
Speaker 6 (02:43:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:43:14):
The renowned German entertainers quote no longer wanted to live.
They were quite so.
Speaker 8 (02:43:20):
Neither of these women are married then or you know,
they're just sisters who may be inseparable and still want
to be celebrities. Requested that their ashes be buried in
the same urn, alongside their mother and dog. They both
died at age eighty nine in their home near Munich
after choosing medical aid in dying. Renowned German sisters who
(02:43:41):
reached international stardom in the fifties and sixties. Yeah, why
do you want to eighty nine in Germany living with
your sister?
Speaker 2 (02:43:50):
Why would you want to keep going?
Speaker 8 (02:43:52):
And for our final act? Given credit for doing it
that long. It's different from euthanasia. Medical eight in dying
has been legal in Germany for about six years, different
from youth in Asia which is illegal.
Speaker 2 (02:44:05):
This is one of these like loopholes.
Speaker 8 (02:44:07):
You know, the patients themselves administer the prescribed drugs to
end their lives rather than a doctor. This is them
saying like, look, doctors can't be out. We don't want
doctors being on the hook for this right, We don't
want the medical professionals to handle it.
Speaker 2 (02:44:20):
If you want to take yourself out.
Speaker 13 (02:44:22):
But what do.
Speaker 2 (02:44:24):
What do the youth in Asia have anything wrong?
Speaker 6 (02:44:27):
You with two sisters in Germany.
Speaker 8 (02:44:31):
I'll tell you what they have in common, Rob, they
have the kinship of all men and women around the world.
Speaker 6 (02:44:39):
I just didn't see.
Speaker 8 (02:44:39):
We're not separated by borders or politics.
Speaker 2 (02:44:43):
I just didn't see what that had to do with
their suicide. We're all.
Speaker 8 (02:44:47):
Children of the stars, Rob, we are all literally made
of star dust. The Kessler twins, I mean, look at them,
the picture of health that's earlier this year. It's a
problem with ad. I wonder when they came to the decision.
One of them had to have the idea first. This morning,
(02:45:09):
goes to the other one and goes, now, listen, We've
said it before.
Speaker 2 (02:45:14):
The only real choice that you have.
Speaker 8 (02:45:17):
You talked to a neuroscientist will tell you there's really
no such thing as is freedom of choice, because your
brain fires things before you know you've won them, right,
So the only real choice you have in your entire
life is to end it.
Speaker 2 (02:45:31):
So, but you know, no re entry as it were.
Speaker 8 (02:45:36):
So one of the sisters had to have had the
idea first and goes to the other one and goes, hey,
I got a wild idea. Let's stop living. You're eighty nine.
I'm eighty nine. We've been living together forever. They were
born in nineteen thirty six, you know, and so at
(02:45:56):
their peak they were like a big deal and that's
probably hard to come back from. So whoever texted me
that I had never heard of them before, but they
were a big, big deal before my time, and they
chose to stop doing their thing. Did they stop?
Speaker 2 (02:46:18):
Yes, they unalive to them.
Speaker 8 (02:46:22):
I wonder if they put on special clothes, if they
put back on the fish nets, like the pork pie hat.
Speaker 6 (02:46:31):
Yeah, the last time we do this.
Speaker 2 (02:46:37):
All.
Speaker 8 (02:46:37):
And I like how Cleveland celebrates the protection of our
metro parks in cities like Miami just do The Miami
Vice theme was that they just played the Miami Vice team,
all right, Well I don't know. Oh, speaking of which,
I so I get sucked into Miami Vice. So I
have Roku, you know, listen, I have every streamer, but
on Roku they have their own live TV. Even if
(02:47:01):
you don't have anything else, you can go into that
Roku like and it's all really like obscure stuff. So
there's a lot of news channels, but there's a ton
of stuff there. Well, they have full channels devoted to
one show. One of those channels is Miami Vice. And
so I'm clicking around over the weekend and I go,
screw it. I just happened to stumble onto one as
(02:47:21):
it was starting. I'm gonna watch some Miami Vice. They
have a Quantum Leap channel. Quantum Leap channel. They got
one that just shows the Goldbergs. They got one that's
all Frasier and cheers. Anyway. A lot of commercials in
these shows, but who cares. There's one that's just Laaranata.
Speaker 18 (02:47:36):
Right.
Speaker 8 (02:47:36):
I sit around watch, Hey, what are you doing? I'm
back homing Providence watching Lara.
Speaker 6 (02:47:43):
That what I had on.
Speaker 2 (02:47:46):
He knows not to call at this time.
Speaker 6 (02:47:47):
I'm watching. Oh that's what good friend of mine in
Pittsburgh was originally from Providence, and he was just like,
I go, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:47:53):

Speaker 4 (02:47:59):
Right?
Speaker 8 (02:47:59):
Yeah, dude, I'm i'd La Nana. Anyway, the Miami Vice
channel I click in happens to be an episode with
a young Liam Neeson. Guy was in his mid thirties.
By the way, this is not a guy who got
famous as a kid. He was not like a young
man when he got famous. Liam Needson didn't bow up
till he was almost forty. But there was an episode
(02:48:21):
of Miami Vice with Liam Neeson and he's playing this
guy who's like this was eighties obviously, so its back
when there was a lot of talk about the IRA
in Ireland, right, car bombs going off, all that kind
of stuff, And he was a guy who was pretending
to be a pacifist so that he could try to
(02:48:43):
cause a plane crash or something. But a young Liam
Neeson on Miami Vice. As I'm clicking through, also, you
might not recall Rob a very young Don.
Speaker 6 (02:48:56):
Johnson on that show.
Speaker 8 (02:48:58):
Strangely enough worth looking into. Remember that show, I assure
d you Miami Vice, Miami Yes, uh so, Yeah, congratulations
to liamnes for his early work.
Speaker 2 (02:49:18):

Speaker 8 (02:49:44):
People get over the six seven thing, right, It is annoying,
but who cares. You Gotta find your enjoyment wherever you
can in this fading republic, and if distractions among the
youths the best you can hope for than fine. Sixty
seven is taking over college basketball games. Have you seen
(02:50:07):
in the footage of these games? High school games, college games.
Anytime a team reaches sixty seven points, everybody goes nuts.

know it was a high school game or what. It was,
some podunk game I think, where they showed a mercy
rule the one team because it was like sixty five

Speaker 8 (02:51:00):
Except here's the thing, though, This is so pervasive that
it goes beyond adults trying to embarrass their kids. Oh yeah,
it's everywhere. And that's what makes me laugh. It's not
some like quiet thing that the olds don't know about
and the kids are doing.
Speaker 2 (02:51:18):
It was that way for a minute, but it hadn't
been that for a while. I thought it was already good.
Speaker 8 (02:51:22):
It's hanging on, actually, respect, it's hanging on longer than
most of this dumb crap usually does.
Speaker 6 (02:51:28):

the question was sixty nine, did you yeah? Talk about
it was like some comedy troupe on social media. Yeah,

Well because it's like, older like you, know millennials or.
Whatever and he's thinking they're all going to go. Nice,
yeah when he's doing a math problem on a whiteboard
and he hits sixty nine and then he slowly turns
around waiting for everybody to go, nice and they don't do,
anything and he, goes, oh maybe this is a mature.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
