Just in the nick just in the nick itsel.

What's up?

Speaker 8 (01:31):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
If you want to join us, boy, there's no shortage
of ways you can do that. Let's say you wanted
to talk directly to us. You can do that on
the telephone. On the telephone. Ah, that's a deep cut.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
But if you know, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Two one six five seven eight one double oh seven
eight hundred and three four eight one double O seven.
I want to send me a text three five one
John and Solin send me a text now. And I
cracked open five eggs today, No wonder. You don't eat

(02:10):
anything else or care about food, use psychopath. I couldn't
eat that in one sitting if I wanted to. You
can't eat five eggs. It's really not that much if
you scramble them like I'm. If I'm making eggs and
I do a lot, I scramble them. It's my default
way to prepare eggs. You just move them around the pan,

(02:30):
you cook them out and get them out. I'm not
trying to eat them, runny. It's truly not that much,
is it. Rob Is five eggs a lot.

Speaker 9 (02:39):
For me?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I mean, I'm I'm a two egg It doesn't make
me a psych No, I understand. I'm just saying it
doesn't make me a psychopath. No, No, it means you
don't have a healthy man's appetite. Well, I wouldn't say that.
I absolutely do not have a man's appetite. If you're
eating five eggs, you do well, Okay, I mean it's
I get full very very easily.

Speaker 10 (03:02):
Well, I will say, because they're so light, they do
take a long time before you. But once you are
full on eggs, that's not that's not a full you want.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
To be and to get on the proteins. Rod you
know this, I can't get enough. Well that's the three
day I'm supposed to be at this ridiculous number, and
I can't.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
I don't even come close. You just got to do
the best you can do, right. I think it's something
bars meat.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
We're not going again unless you're a competitive bodybuilder. I
think most people are overestimating. They're reading too many, you know,
online articles about how much protein guys need. And there
are obviously no shortage of companies trying to sell you
protein powder. Yeah, and it's in their best interest and listen,
I take it. But you know whatever, But I didn't

(03:45):
realize that five eggs was a lot of eggs.

Speaker 9 (03:48):
It is, but it is.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I wouldn't suggest that it makes you.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
A site cycles psychopath. It's a lot of eggs, all right, Well,
maybe it is. I'm just saying that when you scramble them,
you just have a little pile of eggs, and then
I eat them with some salsa and sometimes put some
cilantro and pepper in there.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
You're not a cilantro guy.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh sorry, but I loved I put cilantro on every
goddamn thing, everything that I could put. But again, I'm
not a guy with like a massive appetite. You know,
you watch commercials and they know to whom they're appealing
when they have like these massive hamburgers. And you know,
if you follow no shortage of social media accounts that
are kind of spotlighting restaurants and things, and they'll get

(04:28):
me wrong.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
I love restaurants.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I love going to a place and finding something new,
but I don't need like massive, massive food. And some
people enjoy that and more to the point because they
can consume that. And I am simultaneously repulsed and fascinated
by people who can just eat just a lot of food,

(04:50):
because it just makes me feel gross just to look
at those kinds of things. So anyway, John from Solin
starting to show off rob by referring to me as
a psychica.

Speaker 9 (05:02):
Yeah, right for it.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Eric and Penhills, do you think you could add one
quarter bagel to those five eggs. I'm not eating bagels
in the morning, No, I'm not sitting there. There's a
lot of bread.

Speaker 10 (05:14):
That's the time though, right, if you're gonna if you're
gonna eat bread, that's probably the time to eat it.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, yeah, Allen, I don't know what he's complaining about.
I'm still working on that five pounds of sliced ham
that you convinced me to buy.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah, Rob, I was talking a few weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
We were talking I think about State Road meats or something,
you know that I have like a weekly exotic meats
order that I put in and it's quite extensive, and
I didn't want to get too deep into it, and
I don't even remember how it came up, but I
get my Oh, I know what it was. We were
talking about how in the Trump economy, everything is more expensive,

(05:54):
and so that includes deli meat, and the prices of
deli meat had gone up as well, and it was
cutting into my you know how you have your caviar budget. Yeah,
it was cutting into my weekly deli meat order, right,
it was. It was making that more expensive. Yes, I
farted on the meat, right, You know, I get a

(06:15):
pound of pistrami every week, right, I get the five
pounds of a turkey. I get a pound, I get
a brick a Dutch loaf. I get two bricks of
olive loaf, and I get a dozen links of Charisa.
And that's very expensive.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Rob in this how many pounds of ham? I'm sorry?
How many pounds of ham?

Speaker 9 (06:34):
Well?

Speaker 1 (06:35):
I think he might have confused my ham and my turkey. Okay, yeah, right,
that's where I was lost there with. Right, Yeah, I
don't know that. I get ham. I get five pounds
of thin oven roasted, not shaved thin, Rob, thin, You're
still going to peel it and have the you know,
the slice? Sure, yes, all that.

Speaker 9 (06:57):
I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
I don't like that shave stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I actually scrambled eggs or for children eat over easy
eggs like a god damn adult. I'm not trying to
take five hours to make my eggs, all right. I
just want to cook them and eat them. I'm not
trying to stand there for a look.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Oh, I need tough.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I don't want to break don't want to break the yolk.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
I listen, you got a lot of time in the morning.
That's great. You do whatever you want to do.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I gotta get I crack them in the pan, I
move them around, I cook them, and I eat them.
I want to be in and out in ten minutes.
Oh so you scramble in the pan. Yes, okay, all right? Yeah,
I don't whiss whisk them up and pour them in. No, no, no,
Crack egg in the pan. Crack egg in the pan.
Crack egg in the pan, mix them up, scramble them.
I eat them.

Speaker 9 (07:37):
Try.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
I got to get in and out. You got stuff
to do.

Speaker 10 (07:39):
I I'm okay with an over easy egg on occasion,
but an over easy egg requires something else with it.
You can't just eat an over easy. You need toast.
You need something to catch all the yolk.

Speaker 9 (07:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm not trying to make a cracker barrel breakfast.

Speaker 9 (07:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Man right, I'm with you on that egg. Hurry yep.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I want to go from pan warmed to dish in
the dishwasher in ten minutes. That's what I want. Stand
there eating them over the sink. I gotta get in
and out. I came as close to being a Karen
in my entire life today. Ooh, yeah, well you're on
one today, Archie. I am but this had this was

(08:18):
to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Well,
that's an every day I heard a bed on the
wrong side.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
I wake up on the wrong side.

Speaker 10 (08:25):
There's kind of again, I sort of roll around a sixth.
But I went to the grocery store yesterday and I
bought Deli meat, right, because again, we talked protein, so
I'm trying to think about ways to take as much
protein as possible. Deli Meat's a good solution. We were
just talking about it. So I'm like, all right, So
I bought a half a pound of roast beef and
a half a pound of turkey, right low sodium turkey.

(08:49):
So I get home and I make myself a roast
beef sandwich. I can turkey and roast beef sandwich. I
take a bite, yeah, and I'm like and I look
and the I bought prepackaged, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
It was the day before that. It was packaged. But
it was like gross, I don't know what was me.
It wasn't even slin because I would have felt that, yeah,
But then I smelled it and I was like, oh no.
So I brought it back and I never have done
that in my life, but for nine dollars. So I'm like,
I'm like, dude.

Speaker 10 (09:22):
He's like, I'm sorry, man, it was just slice yesterday
you can see by the date and da da da.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Da, And I'm like, yeah, man, but like, how does
how does that? How does that happen? What are you
putting in the bag that it dies that fast?

Speaker 9 (09:33):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
There are I was at the store a while ago.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
There are.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
My daughter likes apples and crackers and cheese, so I'll
make this for her. I'll make her a plate. Quite frequently.
I cut her and apple and she likes Colby Jack
cheese and they have these like cracker cuts. You can
buy little squares of cheese and they're sealed up, they're
prepackaged whatever, and I grabbed There was a guy restocking
the dairy department, and I reached past him. I said,
excuse me, and I grabbed one to put in my cart.

(09:57):
I don't know what made me turn it over, but
I did. I turned it over. It was still sealed
in this little package. I forget what brand, completely moldy
on the bottom of this cheese. And it was like
if I had gotten home and then found it, I
would have been really pissed at myself, but I handed
it to him. I was like, you don't want this
up on that shelf, and he just looked at it
through in the cart and went about it.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
I got a pinhole or something.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, maybe I guess, but I was like, yokay, but
I couldn't figure out the way thing. I'm like, how
does it go bad that fast? I don't know, literally
sliced the day before and put out. It didn't say
best buy, it said packaged on.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, you know, so I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Man.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
That's when I asked my ex one time, how did
the roast beef go bad so fast? She said, get
the hell out of here? Yeah, prick, I got the
horsey sauce? What is that horse rabbits? All right?

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Then, carr show one.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
What feels great to do. It's absolutely free, can be
done by yourself, and yet no one ever mentions it.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
Show Oh now I am in a holiday mood.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
How about that.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Three minutes of them telling, you know, listen to Christmas music,
We'll do that to you. You know, I was in
the kitchen, you know, once they flip the Christmas that's
pretty much what they play out there in the suite
I didn't realize they had such a wide spectrum because
you hear a lot of Trans Siberian Orchestra and stuff
like that, and you'll hear the Mariah carry and all
this stuff that you hear the promos. But I was
in the kitchen and they were playing Poco Bell's Cannon
and I was like, wow, they are doing a deep

(11:35):
dive on all things Xmas. Rob I call it Xmas.
I do my best to take the Christ out of it. Sure, ah,
my mom hates Xmas right because she loves Jesus. But
of course I'm an atheist, so I call it xmush.
But yeah, I was like, wow, they're rocking the Poco
Bell's cannon over there, right listen.

Speaker 10 (11:58):
I like a good d major as my which is
the next guy? But there's the version that says Vagina.
That's the one. That's the one that I enjoy. I
believe that that's Is that a Tso song or is
that the other one now jazz Vagina? Yeah, yeah, well
maybe they'll play that one Jina.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
They have yet, by the way, to acquiesce to my
not demands, but very very firm requests that Mark Nolan
started playing the festive glory whole as of yet, my
uh my requests have gone unnoticed. Hey, your cavalier's get
their revenge on the Miami Heat. They lost him in
overtime the other night, both games in Miami, one thirty

(12:39):
to one sixteen last night. The Calves were famously shorthanded
last night, but they really pulled it out, and so
that's a good one for them.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
I believe that's it. Yes, what they pulled it out?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Uh well, no, you know, if I were, if I
were reading these sports headlines, the Calves exting wash the
Heat was but no, that's a decisive victory, are you.
One thirty to one fifteen. That's that's a great game
without Donovan Mitchell without Yeah. So the Calves will play tonight.

(13:13):
They're back here at home I think for the next
like ten days or something against the Toronto Raptors tonight,
seven o'clock tip off, six thirty pre game. You might
see one r N word Anthony. I will be there
as well. So if you see a man, yeah, I
am so excited.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yo, it's happened.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I went over and I bought a new, uh new
Calves hat to mark the occasion.

Speaker 9 (13:40):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Oh man, I'm so excited.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
All right, are you being facetious or did you buy
a new Calves hat?

Speaker 10 (13:46):
I did buy a new Calvs hat. I'm not excited
to go to the game. But that's not because I
don't like going to games, because I don't like going anywhere,
and I have to go with Melissa's work, her new world.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Uh huh, yes, are these people that you have met?

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Or oh no?

Speaker 9 (14:00):
No?

Speaker 11 (14:00):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (14:00):
So so the extra level of difficulty is this is
the first time you're meeting her colleagues. Yes, eyes, and
I don't know if we're in seats. I don't know
if we're see. It was pitched to me as hey,
my company has a a get together that the Calves Game.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
Family.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, and I was like, oh all right, and I said,
well talk to the girls and your daughter going that's
what I thought.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
So I said, let's see if if Cali wants to go.
And then the next thing I know, Caitlyn's coming home
and I'm like, oh cool, we can all go. And
it's just me and Melissa, so the are home. Yes,
she ain't coming home to go to the Caves game.
But but but, but that's why I wanted to go,
Like if my daughter's here. I want to go to
like do things with my kids. And when I get
off the air six thirty, I'm in the car and

(14:52):
headed south.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
I like to be home.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Seven fifteen feet are up, seven thirty, Jeopardies on, and
by nine thirty, I'm tucking my ass into I don't
like doing Look at you, I don't want to so
I like doing stuff.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Yeah, I know that's why, Like, this would be a
perfect thing for you to go to.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Why don't I squire your lady wife to the Cavaliers game?

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Perfect?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I'm I'm a Toronto Raptors fan. Let's if you're serious,
I will transfer this ticket right now. I can't do that,
but I mean I would under any other circumstances, Rob, Yeah,
I would absolutely do.

Speaker 9 (15:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Look, man, I you imagine the look on Melissa's face
if I walk in with your tick.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
And just sit down. Don't say anything either, just sit down.

Speaker 12 (15:33):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
And because her colleagues have never met her husband, they
don't know what he looks like.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Oh, I think that they do.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh really, I'm pretty sure that they are well aware
of what you do for, which is you're the coach
of the Cleveland Browns. The coach of the Cleveland Browns
A chubby your version, but it's a uh but there
would be but there would be one or two people
who didn't know yes, and I'd be like, oh, yeah, well,
well my wife works for the company. Who oh so excited.

(16:01):
How about another one of those vodka sodas? You guys
have any locally sourced spirits, any think made right here
down town, preferably in an alley behind the court.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Could go for some bathtub gin. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
My great grandfather was a put like a I still
have a commemorative jug with three x's on it.

Speaker 10 (16:19):
So yeah, I thought it was gonna be a family thing,
and then it turned into just Melissa and I with
people that she works with. She gets out of work
at like four o'clock, so she's riding in with them.
So by the time I get to her, she's probably
gonna be primed. I'm gonna be even more away.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
You know, you get yourself all worked up, you just
need to ride the wave, baby, because it's gonna happen.
There's no reason. I say this all the time to
my wife. I call it throwing tax in the road. Right. Yeah,
A situation will be set a lot of times with
our daughter. Then my wife will go or maybe this,
and I go, there's mom throwing tax in the road again.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
You know, No, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Throwing anything into I just thought it was gonna be
like the three of us, we're gonna go. So I
was excited.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
And then when I found out that Cali wasn't coming in,
that Caitlin was coming home, I wanted to like, I
want to be home.

Speaker 10 (17:08):
I want to have dinner with them. I don't want
to hang out with strangers. I have stranger danger.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
I'll admit it.

Speaker 9 (17:15):
You know that. Mm hm.

Speaker 10 (17:16):
So I'm gonna have to get it liquored up, Like
I'm gonna have to pre drink a little bit before
I go over. She's gonna already be probably half in
the bag by the time I get here.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Boy, Melissa's husband can really drink. Yeah, yeah, all right,
Well listen, I'm excited though. I mean, I love the
Cavs games. They're great.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
I just I don't know are we gonna have like
iHeart seats or am I gonna have where.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Your heads hit in the ceiling?

Speaker 11 (17:39):
Right?

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah, maybe we'll have good seats. Maybe it's in a suite.
Maybe it's not.

Speaker 10 (17:43):
Maybe I don't know what it is and I don't
want to ask because then I'm gonna have too much
information and I'm gonna not want to go even more.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
I'll tell you what, Rob, those Toronto Raptors, You're gonna
be in the presence of a manual quickly. And I
can't overstate that. I'm just excited that Donovan Mitchell will
play tonight. M He got his rest last night.

Speaker 10 (18:01):
He's back, so at least I'll get to see my
favorite player play, which is fun.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Hey, Ethan is out there in Rochester.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
What's going on? Hey, gentlemen.

Speaker 13 (18:13):
Hopefully I'm not wearing that my welcome and calling you
guys too much or interacting too much, but I have
a genuine question. It's been a day, Okay.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
I assume you have nothing but those kinds of days, Ethan.
That's what I assume for you. They all are, man,
They're all just strung together. So this morning I started
off my day by going to my best friend that
I've had for thirty years. It was his father's funeral,
right And I'm an irishman, and you know how we
do it in Irish wake. We have a couple of cocktails.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yes.

Speaker 13 (18:42):
So subsequently we ended up at a bar where there
was a relatively attractive bartender. Okay, and I just happened
to be overhearing a conversation.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Relatively attractive to find relatively attractive, I'm.

Speaker 14 (18:55):
The eight time opening bartender in Rochester, New York. Yeah,
described First of First of all, it's Ken Daguall. Oh
sorry sorry sorry.

Speaker 13 (19:09):
Second of all, she was real hot, like twenty years ago.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Okay, all right, so she's playing the back nine. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
she's definitely on the best night.

Speaker 13 (19:19):
But the so the question was, and the competition that
happened to hear was her telling this other guy that
it was unacceptable to show up on a first date
and have a coupon. And then she proceeded to ask
all this up and down the bar, and I was like,
oh my god, I would have been mortified, Like but
this this guy sit next to me, was just he

(19:39):
was bent on explaining how it was such a good
thing and he was being frugal and blah blah blah blah,
and it blew my mind. And I genuinely wanted to
get your guys' opinion on that.

Speaker 9 (19:48):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Like I guess it depends that if you're angling, It
depends that if you're angling for a second date.

Speaker 13 (19:54):
Because it's my thought too, like if you're sorry, I'm sorry,
I don't mean to interrupt.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Go ahead, No, no, if you're If you're not angling
for a second date, I think it's fine.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
My thought is always what is the point?

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Now? You shouldn't be trying to establish your frugality on
a first date.

Speaker 10 (20:11):
Unless you know you're trying to impress her with your
frugality because she's even more frugal than you are.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, then let her pay with a coupon. I'm just
saying most people, at least on a first day, you're
trying to flex a little. Well.

Speaker 13 (20:23):
See, my thought was like if I'm trying to get
your panties off, like I don't want you to pull
them aside, I only take them all the way off.
So that's kind of like using a coupon, right, Like
am I in the wrong?

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Like I don't know, I don't understand that metaphor, but
I you know, if I'm trying to get your coupon pani,
yeah underwear.

Speaker 13 (20:43):
Yes, I want to take them all the way off
by my wallet, not by halfway.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
My thought is.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
My thought is if you are using a coupon, save
up some money before you go on the date, if
you're in such dire straits, like who you trying to impress? Right,
Frugality is something that's impressive to people like down the road.
You know, if you can strike a pretty even balance.
You know, you spend money when you want to or

(21:10):
when it's a special occasion. I think people take it personal.
A first date would absolutely take it personally if you
used a coupon, because they're not thinking, oh, this guy's frugal.
They're thinking, oh, this guy doesn't care if he sees
me again at all, because yeah, I don't know about that.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
That's my take.

Speaker 13 (21:28):
Like I said, I'm sorry, and hopefully I'm not like
blowing you guys up or or over staying the welcome.
But I was genuinely curious because you know the rest
of my friends are white trash hillbilly.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
So I want to hear what you guys did to say, Well,
that's what I think, Ethan I see.

Speaker 6 (21:42):
I think.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
I still think it depends on how the coupon thing
is presented. If you're like.

Speaker 10 (21:48):
Sitting down having a nice I mean again, it's hard
when you're like sitting down having a nice dinner. That's
not happening at like a Really you're not getting a
coupon at a high for a high end restaurant.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Is it one of those old school coupon books where
you have perforated set, you pull it out. Yeah, that's
a bad thing, and then you slip it back into
your jacket pocket.

Speaker 10 (22:06):
But if you could potentially say, like I'm at a
at A at A I don't know, pick a middle
of the road restaurant and you during dinner, remember you
had a coupon, I think you say at that point
you could probably say, you know what I was just
I didn't even think about it. I have a coupon
for this place, and say I could save twenty bucks
right now we can have another drink.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, biggest joke, But do it quietly. Like again, you know,
a coupon, by the way, never covers the entire bill,
so you know you you let the the waiter waitress know, Hey,
I'm gonna slip this under the thing here. F y,
I use my card for the rest. I don't say
where that's any kind of flex at all. Oh, you're
saying to keep it like way off the the DL man.

(22:49):
I mean, you're not impressing your date by going I'm
using a coupon.

Speaker 13 (22:53):
You know, we'll see here here, here's one of the
here's one of the other things that one of the
guys that was as bar said. They're like, well, if
its coupon is saving the money, then I can use
it on three other things.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
And I'm like, okay, I get that.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
But then she like drinks at a daytime bar in Candegua.
That's what they're trying to do. I'm not going to
spend money on this.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Home there.

Speaker 9 (23:13):
More like cocaine at the strip club.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
All right, thank you, Ethan.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
You can also just slipbody.

Speaker 9 (23:22):
I like this now.

Speaker 10 (23:22):
Now, I like the way you're thinking slip the coupon
in sort of, you know, nonchalantly, Hey.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Well, honeys hey is that John Stamos.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
She turns around. You slide with your card. Listen. I
got no problem with saving money.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I'm just saying it's not a flex So there's nobody
who wants to think that you don't want to spend
full price on them before your first date.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I've gone to the extent because I like to just
I like to do everything low key like that. So
if I'm going to a restaurant and I have friends
or like on a couple of occasions, if it's been
my in laws or something like that, I will call
the restaurant and give them one of my card numbers
and they I say, put our bill on this, so
nothing comes to the table. I'm like, just keep this

(24:07):
and I'm coming in tonight. Put it all on this
so we don't have to dick around with it. I
don't have to do that thing with my father in law.
He's like, no, no, no, I got it. I go no, no,
I got it. You know they already have my info.
All they do is bring the thing out that I
have to sign.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
That's what I like to do.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
I do that whenever I have dinner with either really
really close friends or like my mom and my brother,
that sort of stuff. I'll call ahead, or I'll walk
in and I'll give them my card as soon as
I walk in, like I'll make sure i'm the first
one there.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
They may know, put a little something in there for
yourself a favor. Yet now I don't have really close friends, rob,
so I'm not in that situation.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
However, I've got two of them.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
Well, there you go.

Speaker 10 (24:45):
You know, I'm not sitting here like this isn't something
I do on the rig. And two people I like
it call friends like that.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Hey, why should put a little on there for me
to me a favor? Bring over your finest but little line. No,
it's Tony.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh geesush Jesus Christ. How what are you taking? Yes,
that's right there. So our pelt Bernie Kozar is in
the hospital. You know, he's been waiting for a liver
transplant and he has been you know, he's been in
bad ish shape for a while.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
He was just here.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
I was just talking to Bernie Cozar on Friday because
he was here for the Travis Mills thing, right, They
were doing that radiothon on Friday, And he was sitting
up against the wall here. And I had him on
this show many years ago when I first came to Cleveland,
and he was very complimentary, and so I was chatting
with him briefly, and but he's kind of looked the
same for a minute now, And I guess I didn't
realize that, but you might have seen if you're paying

(25:42):
attention to that kind of stuff. A lot of people
who are who are like the get well soons yep
on social media.

Speaker 15 (25:47):
Right, we're sees here here in cool Saud. Now he's
sitting here today. I think, come tough, reality. He's just
maybe fifteen minutes out from surgery. Tens Tom.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yes, he shut up and filling somewhat cognets in the present.
God bless you matter.

Speaker 9 (26:05):
I told him.

Speaker 15 (26:06):
Come on the other side.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Kozi is awaiting a liver transplant.

Speaker 16 (26:11):
In the video, explain that an infection delayed his transplant
last weekend. Since then, he's had three aggressive procedures to
manage bleeding. Doctors are working to stabilize him so he
can be ready if a liver becomes available.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Jesus, wait a minute, did they just say he had
one and couldn't take it because he infection?

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yeah, he had some infections or something.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
So they had to say no to his liver, like
getting getting a new liver. I think he's still waiting
for a liver.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Oh all right.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I thought they had an infection and couldn't have the
liver transplant surgery. I think that's what they're saying. But
he's still waiting for one, right or they were.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
I don't know, like that, that's why I misunderstood me.

Speaker 10 (26:45):
Yeah, but it says, yeah, he had aggressive procedures quote
awaiting a new liver.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, he looks I mean, he doesn't look horribly ill.

Speaker 9 (26:56):
I saw it.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I mean he's he's very thin, but it's not like
he doesn't know you're you know what I mean, Like
he's fully always Parkinson's Parkinson's too. Yeah, keep on common boy,
yeah yeah, and so uh yeah he's uh.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
Go get him burn. Yeah all right.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
But I saw that it was Schadowski doing it over
at Channel three, and I just well, Chaudowski was one
of the people that I saw at Mike Polk's wedding. Sorry,
the social event of the year. You mean, well, it's
all you know Polks the Channel three is there? All
the Channel three?

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh golly one, Timothy Disney Esquire and oh just so
many people are so many pow. I was the I
was the dimmest light in the regional showbiz firmament at
that wedding, I'll tell you what. And happy to be
so anyway, Sending good vibes to Bernie Kosar, because once

(27:49):
you get into the area of having aggressive procedures done
right in the hopes that things are going to go
your way.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
You know, you're playing whack a mole at this point.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
He's only sixty one. Yeah, he's not an old man. No, No,
he's older than that. That's what it says, Bernie Cozar.
It's it's sixty one, that's what it says.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Gordon November twenty fifth, nineteen sixty three. Wow, is that true,
that's what it says. Yeah's age sixty one years old.
November twenty fifth, nineteen sixty three. He's sixty one born
in Youngstown, Ohio. That dude is seven years older than me. Yes, wow,
it seems with respect, Bernie, I thought you were like seventy.
Those dudes always seem older because they played They got

(28:32):
me long ago. Yeah, they were playing smash mouth football.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Man, that guy got destroyed in the NFL for years one.

Speaker 9 (28:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Wow, and obviously being ill will age you two. But
I had no idea he was that young. Okay, well
there you go. Yeah, they took much different NFL absolutely.
You know they took Class A into custody too, right
Yeah yeah at JFK. Yeah, as soon as he got
off the plane, you.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
See what he's going with.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
By the way, you see what he what his lawyers
are going with, No, that they just misunderstood him because
he doesn't speak English, and so Emmanuel Classe is kind
of going with, Oh, it was just a misunderstanding. I
was on the phone talking about cock fighting and apparently
it was misinterpreted as a sports betting or throwing games

(29:25):
or pitches or something.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
It makes total sense, think about it.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
He got confused because one call he's talking about cox
and on the other one he's talking about balls.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
So we just got him mixed up. Yep, just got
him mixed up. Make balls and mushroom.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
It's a completely understood.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
It's such an easy mix up.

Speaker 9 (29:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
So Classe, who has proven himself to not be rob
class act, is now in custody.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Well now they got them both.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
But who's the other guy, Oh, Luis Ortiz, Yeah right.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
He's in custody too.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
These this is bad. It was the FBI waiting for him,
both for the same teams, both from Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Oh my god. It's just the hits keep on coming,
you know.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
But again, you could be you know, I know it's
all sports oriented, and sports for people are very emotional
and superstitious or whatever, but boy, you could make a case.
You know, I used to kind of roll my eyes,
and people talk about Cleveland being cursed in so many ways,
you could really start to make a case for there
being some kind of like dome of do oh my god.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, pretty wild.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
So anyway, and it also does Bernie and bad vibes
to class and Ortiz.

Speaker 10 (30:39):
It's another feather in the cap of Stephen vote too, right,
like we talked about it yesterday. But to manage through
this situation, yeah, and to get your team to perform
and win when their teammates are cheating, like that's not
an easy thing to do, and the.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Bulk of the team, you know what I mean, Like
these two guys are kind of casting as Paul over
the entire team, right, So yeah, to because.

Speaker 10 (31:00):
Anything like this will make you look and be like, Okay,
nobody else knew about this, come on, but obviously isolated thing.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Or it sucks if you're in you're playing a team sport, right,
and everybody's got their own Listen, It's it's twenty first
century sports, right, So everybody's their own brand, and it's
not as unifying, you know, beyond pr oh we're all
one unit.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Everybody's kind of out for themselves.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Understood, but it still sucks because there is camaraderie and
there's a spree of corps. If you're on a team
and then you find out one or two guys, you're like,
what the hell is he do?

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Wenty first century uh sports t Rex song?

Speaker 13 (31:37):
It is.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Centris Sports.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
The Allen Corr Show on one.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Cleveland's call the Alan cor Show.

Speaker 17 (31:58):
He's my best friend, is my pow, He's my homeboy,
my rotten soldier, He's my sweet cheese, my good time boy.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
Two seven eight one, double O seven eighty one, double
O seven.

Speaker 9 (32:35):
Boy.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
You want to talk about a guy.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Who predicted his own demise, Rob Mark Bolan t Rex
Remember how he died?

Speaker 6 (32:46):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
He's a He's a guy who would have been a
candidate for drinking himself to death.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
But he never learned to drive.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Mark Bolan, who was the priman for t Rex back
in the day, never learned to drive because he was
terrified that he'd be killed in a car wreck before
his thirtieth birthday. And that's exactly what happened. He was drunk,
but he wasn't. I don't think he was driving though,
and his girlfriend at the time they were leaving a
bar and she took a turn too fast or something.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
She lived.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
He died a week before his thirtieth birthday.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Oh Jesus.

Speaker 10 (33:20):
Yeah, he saw it coming, and that's when the rock
hall got right right away. They were like but early,
right before COVID or was it the COVID year they
got in. I think it was the COVID year.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Okay, it was.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
It was not a long time ago, okay, Yeah, Ringo
Star Induction.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yep, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
He was a big fan of there and his son.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
The son that he had with his girlfriend at the time,
Gloria Jones was his girlfriend. He was still married to
June Bowland, but he had a son with Gloria Jones,
but his son.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Roland Bowling.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
It says, you know, David Bowie named his kids Zoey
like a dope. I mean, I love it, David Bowie,
Zoe Bowie and ended up changing his name to Duncan
Jones because that was Jones was, you know, David Bowie's
actual surname. He's like, I don't want to be Zoe.
I'm trying not z Oe like a girl.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
Right.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
He's like, I'm trying to be a legitimate guy.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
In my own right.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
So if your dad's David Bowie, director Duncan Jones I
believe was born.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Zoe Bowe, you let him.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
You call yourself whatever David Bowie decided to call you, like,
just shut it. This is what we were talking about yesterday, right,
that Paul Stanley's kid and Jeans Himmons kid have a
band called Stanley Simmons. And I said, except those are
their dad's stage names.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
Right.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
People were beating me up because they thought I was serious.
Now I was serious about that. I was genuinely curious,
do you use is your surname your dad stage name?
The joke was that if they were to use their
dad's real names, the band it would be called eisen Vitz,
And all these people.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Were hitting up there.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Look, Stanley Simmons is way better.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
I'm like, yes, I know.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
That was the joke. Nobody would go see two guys
in a rock band called Eisenwitz. But Paul Stanley's real
name was Stanley Paul Eisen and Jeene simmons real name
is heim Vitz born in Israel, and by what they're using,
but obviously part of the promotion is we're the kids
from Kiss, right, literally, they would be huge doing the

(35:31):
Jewish Deli circuit New York City. I mean they would
just sell out Barney Greengrass like no one ever has before.
Just sitting there in the corner at Katses, a couple acoustics.

Speaker 18 (35:42):
Get up.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
Everybody's gotta lose their siege.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Get down, everybody's gotta You can't beat the meat here
at Katses. That thinly sliced brisket is so good.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
The best one of all of them.

Speaker 10 (35:57):
Barney Greengrass uptown, right, just a couple of blocks from
John Lennon's old crib.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Right, yeah, right, it's from the Dakota. Yeah, I've got
to Katzes because this is great. Yeah. I was staying
at a hotel that was right around the corner from Katsas. Now,
if you go on a Sunday morning, there's a line
about two miles long.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
If you happen to be there in the winter, you're
not going to do that.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
But yeah, Barney Grengrass, the Sturgeon King, right nex, Yeah right,
I'm Barney Greengrass, the Sturgeon King.

Speaker 10 (36:24):
Yeah it is, Man, that place is so good, the best.
It's on the planet. Yeah, it's it's on Amsterdam. I
think ninety first in Amsterdam something like that.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, I've never been. I've heard of it. I know
the general vicinity, but I didn't. A really good friend
of mine used to live up there. I just never
made it into Barney Green Grass.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Oh it's so good. The old sign's still up. Yeah,
same with katz As.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
I think a lot of those places and you wonder,
You're like, how did it not get because so many
you know, you were bombarded with stories of restaurants and
stores in major cities that had been around for like
a hundred years and COVID just did him in Yep,
And you're like, how did these places survive? It must
have just been they had a different alchemy or luck

(37:08):
or whatever or you know, and a lot of them,
I mean they were shipping, you know, even just in town.
You know, like they would go to work every day
to put out food.

Speaker 10 (37:15):
You know, like they those type of places were the
ones that could survive, you know what I mean, Yeah,
because they had everything.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Sarah texted me in the break and said, I broke
up with a guy I was in a relationship with
for almost a year because he tried to use a
coupont on a date.

Speaker 9 (37:35):
Oh, girl.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Well that's a bit much, Well, I wrote back, I
go no leeway for somebody you're with almost a year.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah, to me, you're the a hole in that case.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Well, she said, I didn't realize how cheap he was
until then. We didn't go out much. I didn't even
really like him anyway. Different everyone's dated somebody way too
long and you feel like an idiot afterward. Is that true?

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Have you ever dated somebody?

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Have to assume if you're a guy, you might find
yourself in that situation because a well, either person, you
might find yourself in that situation because you don't want
to be alone. Okay, but some people are terrified of
their own thoughts. However, you're a guy, I can see
doing that because you getting late. Yes, girls don't need
to do that. I understand they have different concerns, and
it's a it's a perfectly human thing to stay with

(38:22):
somebody much longer than you probably should have.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
But yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
But that was the straw that broke the camel's back
from Sarah a coupon.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
When they went out to eat. Yeah, see that just
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Now, almost a year I take nine, ten months? Maybe
maybe that's what she's talking about.

Speaker 10 (38:42):
I mean again, if you're if you're tired of the
person and you're just looking for an excuse, Okay, but
like if that's it's reason.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Use, like we're done where we don't?

Speaker 9 (38:51):
You know?

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
But that rounds bad like that you that that's the reason,
you know, like I got rid of them because he
used the coup and get.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Well, no, no, listen, I take her at her word.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
But here's the camel after it broke, it setback with
the last straw there, Come on, poor guy, poor poor guy.

Speaker 19 (39:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Does rob By his caviare from the Sturgeon King?

Speaker 4 (39:22):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I buy it from a local distributor. Think he gets
his locally sourced spirits.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
When I'm in the city. Yes, when I'm in New
York City, I absolutely do buy it from Barney Grengron.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Yeah, Stanley and Simmons legally changed their names, this person says.
And Stanley's middle name is Bert.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
What what Bert?

Speaker 9 (39:45):
Bert?

Speaker 1 (39:46):
I mean, I didn't see anything where either of you
could be right, But I I looked, and I didn't
see any that was part of my question. I didn't
see anything that said that those guys legally changed their names. Uh,
but you know all of their kids use those last names,
so clearly they know something I don't know.

Speaker 10 (40:03):
You know, somebody in the chat says, oh, you can
eat shrimp at the Red Lobster's how a real gentleman
treats his lady on a first date.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Yeah, well, but I think I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I know that there's some people that are like, well,
I don't know how this is going to go, so
I'm not going to drop a bunch of coin. I
fully understand that notion, but there's ways to do it
where you don't Now. Granted, I haven't been on a
date in a long time, and I know it's changed
a lot, but I think there are some things that
fundamentally don't change. You want the other person to have fun,

(40:36):
You want the other person to have a good time.
I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Right now,
everybody's looking to start a relationship. You might just be
going out with somebody to kill some time, and you
don't care if you're using a coupon.

Speaker 10 (40:49):
Yeah, I don't know, man, I think there's much worse
things in life, like what if? And again her saying,
you know, I already didn't.

Speaker 9 (40:57):
Like this guy.

Speaker 10 (40:57):
I was looking for an excuse, blah blah blah. But
I keep going back to what if this guy was
trying to save up to buy her the ring that
he wanted to give her. They've been together for a year,
you know this guy's trying to like save money.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, but she would know the tone of the relationship
by that time, absolutely, And that's what I meant when
I texted her back. I was like, no leeway after
almost a year, because by that time, you've really gotten
to know somebody pretty well. If you're together almost a
year and you know their quirks or whatever they go, Oh,
he likes to you know, you might laugh off a coupon.

Speaker 10 (41:24):
Trying to save up something, you know, to save up
some extra dotigate you something really special.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
And by the way, how much money are you saving
up by using a coupon at red Lobster?

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Do you know what was bread lobster? Well, if he's
a gentleman like that.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Ten dollars off is ten dollars off, takes that ten dollars,
puts it in the till that's ten dollars CoA sort
of that nice cashmere sweater I don't remember who did
the joke, and it's kind of hacky, but it always
made me laugh. Late eighties early nineties. One comedian had
a joke about it. I read, you're supposed to send
spend three months salary on an engagement. Yeah, and he's like, like,
I'm going to spend four hundred dollars on an engagement?

Speaker 9 (42:00):
Good?

Speaker 4 (42:01):
And I guess it depends on where you're going.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
I mean, even as a young man when I was
single and I was dating, I took that seriously. I
wanted to show somebody a good time, so we go
to nice places, and you know, I'm not spending five
hundred dollars. I mean he was in college and shortly
after that. I didn't start making any real money in
radio for quite some time. But I'm like, if we're
gonna go out and have dinner and do something, why

(42:24):
are we gonna like score around and not?

Speaker 4 (42:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (42:27):
That's why I would always do something. I'd be like, well,
I got some guy ticket to a show.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Do you want to go to?

Speaker 5 (42:32):
Right?

Speaker 4 (42:32):
You want to go to a concert, you want to
go to a movie.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
And I understand some guys are like, I don't want
to think and it's gonna be like that all the time.
I don't want to set that precedent, Okay, Like I
understand where you're coming from with that too. It just
depends on what your priorities are. I guess check lands
on the table. You just stare at her.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
You see which one? Ay you reach his first?

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Ellen, this is a different Sarah.

Speaker 9 (42:58):
All right.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
It's kind of shit to care if your date uses
a coupon. Maybe it's better to not make it known.
But if I happened to notice, so what, well, yeah, yeah,
you might be a more open minded person, different Sarah.
Some people, again, I think, might take it personally, you know,
in their brain they go, oh, he doesn't think enough
of me to spend Yeah, but why real money? But

(43:20):
I'm like, well, that's a you problem, not of him
that exactly. And That's where I struggle with some of
that stuff, right, Like, Okay, maybe it's not what you
would do, but why are you so much better than
someone doing that? Like Okay, maybe he's not where he
wants to be financially right now, but this dude may
run boeing in ten years, Like don't you know.

Speaker 9 (43:40):
What I mean?

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Like, you know what I'm saying, I don't know, man,
that kind of stuff pisses me. Like Boeing's using coupons
these days too to buy their materials for the planes.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
It was the first thing that popped into my head.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
And I don't know why, but you know why, rob
because they're getting their doors half off.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
Airplay joke.

Speaker 6 (44:00):
There was a year ago.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Everybody remember the door for out.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (44:11):
Boy.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
I'll tell you what, man, I'm taking my car on
Monday morning and they get this whole to have them
tell me what they got to do.

Speaker 4 (44:22):
After I hit this deer, I'm looking for deer.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
I'm scanning like goddamn RoboCop as I'm driving around. Now
there's deer everywhere. I dropped my daughter off at school
every morning, and I'm pulling out of her, you know,
and right there, just chilling in the front yard of
some house adjacent to her school.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Down the street, there's just two giant deer.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
You know. All the morning traffic is going to and
fro and they're just chilling in the front yard. Did
I send you, like, why couldn't that have been you
the other night chilling on the roadside instead of trying
to do a somersault on my hood.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
Did I send you that video that huge buck in
my front yard?

Speaker 9 (44:58):
No, there was.

Speaker 10 (44:59):
There was this one and I'm like, oh, look at
the size of this thing. And I'm and I'm filming
it because my brothers still can't get past the fact
that I live in a cul de sac and deer
just are there. Yeah, So I'm I'm shooting this one
and I turn and as I move, I'm like, oh,
I can't play it because I just I cursed.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
Actually, I've never I don't know that I've ever seen
a deer that big.

Speaker 9 (45:19):
It was.

Speaker 10 (45:20):
It was I could I counted twelve points on his horn,
on his antlers. So it was the biggest deer I've
ever seen in my life. And I said it to
my buddy and he's like, yeah, it's rocked. He's like,
they'll do anything. It's the middle of the day. They
don't care.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
Yeah, they gotta, they gotta, they gotta empty them out. Yeah,
that's what they got.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
A drain man, this is time to do it. Yeah,
I'm a deer in rut. Like I guess you're always
in rut.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
Uh huh, they're probably more like that.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
But uh, this thing was so big that the other
deer that I thought was big started walking with its
head down and legs crouch, like, wow, oh it's.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
It's yeah, Allen.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
I'm wondering what about using a gift card on a
date again. I just think that these are things that
you can be transparent about and maybe joke about them
a little bit, you know, because a gift card never
covers the whole thing, unless you have some two hundred
dollars gift card. But you know, I don't know, that's
something that someone bought you. That to me feels different
than a coupon.

Speaker 10 (46:22):
Or maybe that's how you got your tax refund, right,
I mean, like, you don't know how someone gets a
gift card, so I don't.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
I don't know. I think people are way too judgy
on that stuff.

Speaker 10 (46:32):
Man, it'll take yourself so seriously, right, be happy you're
you're not paying yourself because for you, it's one hundred
percent free.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
For that person, Okay, he's saving ten bucks. Get bent, damn, how.

Speaker 9 (46:46):
Do you like that?

Speaker 4 (46:49):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Here's what you do on a date. A couple of
kids were bored teenagers bored in Florida. Uh so they
just did donuts at two in the morning on a
local golf course caused one hundred and sixty thousand dollars
in damage. I mean, listen, man, you're you know this
is what town is? This about an hour north of
where your mom is. This is New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

(47:12):
There were New Smyrna beaches.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
That's is. I think it's south. Is there a Mismencoco
Beach or mean is? But it's uh?

Speaker 10 (47:20):
I think Smyrna is near Daytona Beach, right, Okay, I
think I think it's like the town over from Daytona.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
A driver a teenage drivers donuts amounted to one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars in damages. I guess he copped
to it. He's like, I was bored.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
What a stupid thing to say that. I'll show it
to you.

Speaker 20 (47:38):
Yeah, police say, whoever drove out here in the middle
of the night didn't just leave a mess. They left
behind more than one hundred and sixty thousand dollars in damage.
Look at the beach oh early Sunday after the general manager,
Ben Herring arrhyved to find deep tire marks and torn

(47:58):
up turf. On the second career, the Club estimates about
seven thousand square feet was damaged and that repairs could
cost more than one hundred and sixty thousand dollars and
take weeks.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
I mean, wasn't that an old school thing as people
going out and doing donuts on I mean usually you
were in a golf cart maybe, and those are tough
to do donuts in because they tip so easily. But yeah,
I mean I've seen people do lawn jobs and stuff
like that, donuts on somebody's front yard, ye, whatever, But
I don't Yeah, I mean, I just think this is
he's bored, middle of the nine. He's a teenage kid.

Speaker 10 (48:28):
Yeah, but he had to go there, go do burnouts
in a parking lot. Do donuts? Go doing a parking lot?

Speaker 9 (48:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
The vehicle entered a second hole.

Speaker 21 (48:39):
And it basically destroyed seven thousand square feet of the
second hole, causing about one hundred and sixty thousand dollars
in damage.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
And based on LPR evidence and not.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
This coup is not a Florida native here. This guy
sounds like he's from Pennsylvania. Mike Chitwood, he did about
one hundred thousand dollars or at the damage.

Speaker 21 (48:59):
Tips we were able to get the person who drew
the truck onto the greens nailed from eighteen year.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Old well done high school student. What are confessed to
causing the damage because they were bored?

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Causing the causing the damage. They were bored? All right, Well,
I say, you know what George Carlin thought about golf courses.
He nailed it back in the early nineties.

Speaker 9 (49:20):
And their green pants and their yellow pants, and their
orange pants, and their precious little hats and their cute
little golf cards.

Speaker 4 (49:28):
It is time to reclaim the golf.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Courses from the wealthy and turn them over to the homeless.
Golf is an arrogant, a legist game, and it takes
up entirely too much room in this country.

Speaker 6 (49:39):
Too much room in this country.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Tiny. I like apples, you tell them.

Speaker 6 (49:44):
George Allen Carr Show on one hundred.

Speaker 7 (49:53):
Allen's writing bits and Rob's rattling clits.

Speaker 6 (49:58):
Maybe college is a scam?

Speaker 1 (50:01):
The Allen cock Show, WMMS plush times. We played that
promo or Charlie was talking about checking out the Northern Lights,
and we did that last fall. We just went to
Huntington Beach there in Bay because we're just a few

(50:23):
blocks in the lake.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
But it seems to be happening more.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
I know it's because of you know, solar flares and
things like that, but it used to be there was
nowhere in this part of the country where you could
see the Aurora borealis, And now it seems to be
happening a lot. I mean, the only one getting nervous.
I mean it's fun, it's cool. Usually you can't my experience,

(50:47):
you can't see with the naked eye. You gotta take
photos of it and it shows up. But if nothing else,
it feels like bad news for the Icelandic tourism economy.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Wasn't that like their whole hook? I think it's so
much different there though.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
They're trying to rent geodesic domes in Raykovic and we're
just getting it here on the shores of Lake Erie.

Speaker 10 (51:07):
Yeah, but you're looking through a phone like you're taking
pictures of it, but you're not actually seeing it like
they're But.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
That's all people care about anything. I know, you get
farther north, but still it's like people aren't going to
make that trip if they can literally walk to the
lake and see it.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Yeah, but it's the land of the ice and snow. Yeah,
that's true. Midnight suns without hot.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Spring ring whoa yeah, hammer of the cons Oh well,
listen our friends in Finland and Iceland, and I think
you'll be just fine. But I have yet to go
out and see the northern lights yet. But it is
funny because something that prior to the last couple of

(51:48):
years was non existent in this part of the country.
But now that it's happened with some regularity, even the
most amazing natural phenomena, people are people and they will
go nah, I saw it last year.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
Fine, yeahs fine, it was okay.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Through the kid in the car drove to the beach
stood out there with I mean last fall when it
you know, out there on the beach. We're out there
at like eleven o'clock at night. There's like five hundred
people out there just standing around taking pictures. Cavaliers are
back home tonight. They're playing the Toronto Raptors right down
town Cleveland the Rocket Arena. You'll hear it, of course,

(52:32):
all of it here on MMS that coming off a
big win, asked and answered, lost by two in overtime
to the heat in Miami on Monday night. They beat
them by fourteen points last night, one one sixteen. Did
they get that math right? That's fourteen points?

Speaker 4 (52:48):
I believe yes.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Okay, So the Cavs go to eight and four and
tonight the Toronto Raptors are in town and pretty evenly matched.
Raptors are six and five seven o'clock tip off tonight
at the Rocket Arena. Here on the buzzer, you'll get
your pregame coverage beginning at six thirty. You can also
listen on the iHeartRadio app and you may see our

(53:09):
own Rob Anthony at the game.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
He's going to be there tonight.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Now.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
I almost feel like you will see me at the
game tonight. What do you mean if you look for me,
you'll probably see me. Are you gonna be on the
jumbo tron? That was the last time we were there.
I told you that story, right, Me and Katelin ended
up on that.

Speaker 10 (53:25):
No, I don't think you did. I don't recall that.
That's a different story. Mass just sent me our ticket
for tonight or my ticket for tonight.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
They didn'trol you by putting you on the kiss cam
with your daughter.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
They did not. Oh good, No, what ended up happening?

Speaker 10 (53:40):
We had these killer seats because the tickets came from
the calves and not iHeart. So we sat right next
to like where the purchase where the broadcasters sit, yes,
you know, yeah, yeah, So we sat right next to that,
and we were It was opening night. It was the
first game of the first home game of the season,

(54:00):
so they were kind of going through the crowd and everything,
and they got Caitlyn and I, but they put you
know those snapchat filters where it looks like you're frowning. Yes,
it was like they knew who I was because they
picked the perfect one to put on us, right, But
they left us up on this jumbo tron so long
that it took me, as it took me at least
ten seconds to realize it was us.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
You look so much there, or they were waiting for
you to notice.

Speaker 10 (54:23):
I think they were well or acknowledge r And I
heard Caitlyn go, oh my god, and I turn and
I look and then I realize it. But it still
takes me this time to process that we're up on
the screen, and I'm like, why do we look? Oh,
there's a filter and I'm laughing, but you're laughing and
you used to look like you're frowning, and blah blah blah,
Caitlyn is sitting there and it's probably I got a

(54:44):
thirty forty five seconds were up on and that's an
eternity when you don't want to be on something right,
And Caitlyn's like.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Why aren't they stopping?

Speaker 9 (54:50):
Dad?

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Why are we still on the con damn jumbo tron Dad?
And then and then once I started getting texts and
like are you at the game?

Speaker 12 (54:58):
Like?

Speaker 5 (54:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (54:59):
And then Kennedy are Ball was like, was that just you?

Speaker 10 (55:01):
Because it's hard to tell because your face looks so
different that it, you know, to tell that it was us. Yeah,
but Melissa just sent the ticket for tonight, and uh,
I'm a little less concerned about.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
Closer to the floor. Nope, what do you mean? Where
where I should be this? We're in a swite. Oh
let's see.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
I was gonna say when you were talking about like
this is a company thing, they're probably gonna have you've
been to our company thing, haven't?

Speaker 4 (55:27):
Well, but we don't have.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Once Lebron left or when Lebron came back or something, right,
it was super I mean you could walk in and
get a suite when Lebron left. Yeah, then he came
back and everybody scooped up the suites, and I think
this company was like, eh, well so back in the
day we had yeah back in it, and I don't
think they ever reupted.

Speaker 10 (55:45):
I wasn't known because Melissa's company we sat in their
guardian's seats a couple of times, and you were right
behind the guardian's bench, like right there, two rows back,
incredible seats.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
So I should have known that this was gonna be
good seats. I will say for me a luxury aside,
this is a much better way for me to meet strangers.
You mean, in a controlled environment. Yes, yeah, because then
I can oh, hey, I'm rob whatever. If it's at
a like you're all sitting in a row of seats,

(56:17):
say it's awkward, right, it's people and you're trying and
leaning forward and yeah. So this, at the very least,
I know I can manage this good.

Speaker 10 (56:26):
With my weirdness in always being uncomfortable in these situations,
I will be much better in this setting.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Plus I'm not taking advantage of the open book. Well,
but this is what I'm saying, Like, I don't think
it's that weird, you know, I mean, it's just more
it's a more organic body language type situation.

Speaker 9 (56:42):
And you're not.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
You know. Now, here's the problem. Here's the flip side
of that coin. When you are in a row, you
have a natural barrier that keeps you from people you
don't want to talk to. Yeah, when you are all
mixing and mingling in the fish bowl there, Yeah, but
people are going to know if you're off to the side.

Speaker 10 (57:01):
But you know what I can do in this particular case,
we've been in those suites together. Yes, you know, I
can have a conversation instantly based on those toilets. Oh,
the warming tortle toilet, touch screen remote toilet. So if
I get into any sort of like what do I
say next, we'll go Do you use that bathroom yet?

Speaker 4 (57:22):
How about that toilet?

Speaker 1 (57:23):
How about that toilet?

Speaker 4 (57:25):
How much you think they get one of those in
my house? Hey, wait a minute. You guys are a
construction company. What do you think get one of those
in my house?

Speaker 9 (57:31):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (57:32):
I get the wife a bonus.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
See, I'm already good.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
I got stuff. I didn't even have to go. I'm
just sitting down. It's so warm in here. That's how
I'm gonna get away with too. Oh gosh, that's how
I'll get away.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
I want too many little smokies, right, it's gonna go
sit from the quiet. Yeah, so we're inuntil somebody else
needs to use it. Well, I'll be like, yeah, hockey Pato, Yeah, Hello.
Does this company have a suite for the Cavs games
our company? Yeah, I wouldn't imagine in our seats, like
that's where we sit and sit. No. But the reason

(58:12):
I ask is usually when they have that stuff, it's
for like clients and business partners. My question was do
they have one, because I'm like, we're the broadcast partner
for the team. I would think that the company they
would give the company one.

Speaker 9 (58:27):
I don't.

Speaker 13 (58:27):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
I not that we'd see the inside of it. I'm asking.
Usually they were client.

Speaker 10 (58:32):
Yeah, I'm sure that they will if we want one
for something, or maybe there is I we would have
to add.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
That's what I wonder.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Yeah, But I just I don't mind sitting in the
seats or being at that Loudville bar.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
I mean that's good too.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
When we do the when we do, like the Staff
Calves game after the first of the year, it's always
at that Loudville bar. And I like that because you're mingling,
and you know, I like that a lot. Yeah, that's
what I don't need to be in a swite. That's
where I'm not good. Oh really, yeah, this is much.
This is easy for me to especially with strangers.

Speaker 4 (59:01):
This is going to be good.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
We can talk about toilets. I can have drinks talk
about toilets.

Speaker 10 (59:08):
Yeah, we can talk about the calves because I have
some knowledge of the team because of you know, us
being here and talking about it every day.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
It was Okay, I met Melissa's husband. I only want
to do is talk about the toilets. Yeah, well listen.

Speaker 10 (59:18):
If they can't see how amazing those toilets are, then
learly they aren't people that I want to talk to anyway.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
Right. Oh, so this is kind of a this is
a thought experiment, is a social test. Yeah, smart, because
I know I know what's going to happen. They all
know obviously, Like the conversation comes up, what does your
husband do for a living? Right, Like they all know
what I do for work, They know the radio station

(59:43):
and show and all that stuff. So there's going to
be a lot of the awkward goes away quickly because
you don't have to have those ridiculous introductions and conversations.
Oh what do you do just make all the conversation
about what a jag off? I am right, I'll give
you a special I'll give you a special dispensation to
just get that out there, a special dispensation all the time. Anyway,
he'd be like, how's Allen? Who's like I was gonna say,

(01:00:06):
I'll jump in back grenade for you, like I'm already are.

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
He's gonna be at the game tonight, so you won't
see Rob running around.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
He'll be uh, I'll be waving for him perch.

Speaker 6 (01:00:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
No, we always go walk around all right, we'll see.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
I'm saying, hi, please do.

Speaker 9 (01:00:33):
Oh you know what?

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah, I wonder I got to look up where the
suite is hold on uh rocket because this might be
one of those sweets that's in the middle and not
up high.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
So then you know what I mean, that might be awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I've never sat in those seats that was where pound
Cake was that time, those crap seats.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
And sweet Spot. You've got to be kidding me. He's like,
you want to come in? Yeah, now that is a
sweet sweet Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:01:02):
Alan.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
The sun goes through cycles and we are at the
solar maximum. It takes twenty one years for a full
solar cycle to run. That's why we are seeing the more. Okay, good,
that's an explanation for me, because Againe, I'm fascinated but
largely ignorant in all matters astronomical or celestial.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
So there's an answer that I can understand. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
I had been talking about like when I was a
kid and I had a telescope and I'm like, oh,
maybe i'll buy a telescope, and somebody wrote me this
long later. They're like, do not go down the telescope
rabbit hole because it will drive you insane. They're like,
you can spend so much money. I'm like, well, I'm
not looking to drop, you know, serious coin on telescopes,
even though you can. Right the one I was looking
at was like seventeen thousand dollars. Obviously that's absurd. But

(01:01:54):
this person was like, yeah, I went on that rabbit
hole and I got hooked on that stuff. And of
course they attached a bunch of their photos to the
email set me and they're phenomenal. I don't know if
they're five figure worth photos, but they're pretty wild. But
they were I guess trying to dissuade me from making
the quote unquote mistake that they had made when I
mentioned my past affinity for telescopes.

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Well, they say that you can become one.

Speaker 10 (01:02:18):
You buy the one that you think you want, and
then you're like, oh, if I spent like another five grand,
I could get this. That's what My mom has a
pretty good one at her house. And that's why I
try not to mess with it too much because I'm like,
I'll just I'll want one because I do love that stuff.
I love space. I'm wicked into Sorry, I'm really into
that stuff. It happens every once in a while. Oh

(01:02:40):
I know, I forget I'm really into space, and you know,
so it's like I want all of those things, but yeah,
being able to afford it, there's such a difference. It's driving, uh,
you know, a luxury car versus a entry level sedan.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Yeah, she can't drive telescope, rob. Sorry, Hey, Dustin checked
in from Georgia. He'll call us occasionally on the after
hours line. If you don't use the affor messages. After
hours line is always available to you. It's two one
six nine six eighty nine three.

Speaker 18 (01:03:16):
Alan that's down here in Gellgence. Hey man, I figured
you were the best person to ask this because you go.

Speaker 17 (01:03:24):
To a ton wedding, it seems like But me and
the wife, we got invited to a wedding on December
twenty seventh, of all days, when everyone's broke.

Speaker 18 (01:03:36):
The wedding is going to be at a Catholic church,
so women are required to wear a veil and one
will be graciously provided if needed.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
There's that's a Catholic. That sounds like a Greek or dustin,
I would rather you do more digging on this. That
sounds like a Greek Orthodox wedding. I've never been to
a I've never been to a Catholic wedding where you
had to wear a veil unless it was a well
hold up, hey like thirty people.

Speaker 18 (01:04:07):
But they are requiring guests to wear all black, all black.
So my question is do I wear a black dress
shirt with a black tie or do I just wear
a black dress shirt. I'm not going to be wearing
no jacket.

Speaker 9 (01:04:25):
Not wearing a suit, you know. But you know, even
at the.

Speaker 18 (01:04:28):
Reception, they're wanting people to wear blacks. I thought if
I weren't tie to the wedding, then at least I
could take the tie off at the reception. I figured
you'd be the best person to ask float the show, Rob,
you're doing kick ass job.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
See you buy Wow? How about that all black?

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
He's definitely not going to a Catholic wedding. Well, it
might be, but I mean it's maybe. Isn't Greek Orthodox
or aren't those like offshoots.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
Of catholicized in a Greek Orthodox wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
I used to data girl a long time ago, like
you would sit through this four hour service and then
you're like, oh, I get it. Everybody goes downstairs and
gets hammered and eats a goat every single time they
say h yeah, over and over and over and over again.
I the beauty part now of dressing up for men.
Back in the day, there were kind of rules if

(01:05:22):
you cared about that stuff, and I did. There are
no rules anymore, right, so my thing has always been dusted.
In answer to your question, all I will tell you
is if they want you to wear all black, if
I were going to something something like that, I would
wear a suit. I have an all black suit, black shirt,
black tie, black suit. Now you will walk around feeling
like you're at a funeral. My thought is, if you're

(01:05:42):
not wearing a jacket, don't wear a tie. Ties, by
the way, I feel like, have fallen out except in
the most professional situations very much. Some people are wearing
a cravat. But I have because again, I went to
Catholic school K through twelve, so by the time I
went to college, I was so used to that it

(01:06:04):
was almost like a uniform.

Speaker 7 (01:06:05):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
I'm not joking when I said when I started college,
I had one pair of jeans and about three T shirts,
but I had a closet full of jackets and ties
and pants. I still have most of those ties. They're
hanging in the back of my closet. I could not
tell you the last time I wore one. It's been
two decades.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
Since i've well, you know, I don't remember the last
time I wore a tie.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
So my thing is, if you're not gonna wear a jacket, Dustin,
I wouldn't wear a tie. I think that shirt and
tie only thing looks weird. But again it's dealer's choice.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
I'm just I think.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
I think a jacket and a shirt with no tie
looks real sharp or the full suit. But if you
have to wear all black, i'd say black shirt, black pants.
If you're not gonna wear a jacket, that's what that's
what I would go with, and tuck it in, dustin, yes,
tuck it in, tuck it in. But even there, but
even that, so rules if you were in a jacket,
a lot of dudes will keep the shirt untucked. Shirt right,

(01:07:01):
button down shirt, that's the collar style, and then the
jacket shirt untucked, and nobody will give you a second look.
Now you can't wear a tie and untuged. Again, maybe
there are rules. Yeah, there's certain things you can't say. Well, yeah,
but but there aren't like carved in stone rules so
much anymore than people adhere to. But take a look

(01:07:22):
at yourself in the mirror and go from there. You
be like, nah, that's a good lost. The rules with
the buttons, those things should always be followed. Yeah, the
buttons on a jacket. Yeah, there's certain things you should
try to some things, yes, because it's a little tougher
with my hair being long, that's not great for dressing up.
But I clean up good, dude, when I'm in a suit.
Get out of the way. And so for my tastes,

(01:07:46):
I have certain ways that I do things. I know
what will go with what all black is doing. You
a favor because you don't have to think about anything
all black. Do you clean up good? Or do you
clean up well?

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
I clean up good? Oh wow, how do you like that?
You are stunts?

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
I thought, So, I've got Brian for you. Ok Now,
he's gonna throw you a massive, massive hit song and
you'll know it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
It's what he does with it or doesn't do with it.

Speaker 12 (01:08:15):
God is watch change godat s.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Yeah, whipping out a Bette Midler song. Yeah, that's the
biggest hit she ever had. I thought that was from Beaches.
That's not from beach It? What was the Beaches song?
When that was her biggest song, wasn't it? No? From
a Distance? Was that was the peak of her commercial powers?
Was that album? Now she didn't write that song. The
girl who made all the money was the girl who

(01:08:47):
wrote the song. But Ben Midler had a massive, massive
hit with that from a Distance. And now I have
to think, you know, we're self deprecating here on this show.
But the truth is rob this show very influent entil
carries a lot of weight, and so I have to
think that in the immediate aftermath of Brian doing bet Midler,
she's gonna go talking to her management. Why are my

(01:09:09):
streaming numbers through the roof in Cleveland, Ohiot or anywhere
where people are on the free iHeartRadio app listening to
the program.

Speaker 12 (01:09:19):
God is Watching, God is Watching?

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
God is a Watching. I mean the song will give
you a cavityes just listening to it. But you know
that was probably eighty nine ninety ninety one around there,
bet Middler, early nineties, right, A real peace if you
don't mind my saying if that was a you know,

(01:10:00):
if you like the cut of her jib, but Brian
out of the blue whipping some Bette Middler on us,
the woman who, by the way, very early in her career,
gave us one barrens MANI lo, I have to assume
that our own Keith Kennedy, who is a Barry Manilow
super fan, probably has a soft spot in his heart

(01:10:23):
for one Bette Midler for bringing Barry Manilo to the public.
He was her piano player back in the day. Now,
I know this because my mom was huge into Berry Manilow.
Hold on, maybe Keith Kennedy should be dating my mom. Bet,
Oh my god, what you've just rendered me silent? I'm
out I had something I don't even.

Speaker 4 (01:10:46):
That maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
You want to talk about it from a distance, Rob,
I'm out.

Speaker 9 (01:10:54):
I got nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
Long distance relationship, I got nothing. Yeah, even suggesting that
for your poor mother. Poor mother, he's never met her either.
He might be you know, Oh my god, all right,
Keith Kennedy should date my mom. They're both Barry Manilow
super fans, right Jesus, all right, Christ? What's the matter

(01:11:15):
with that? Other than him being married? Keith Kennedy, I
think he's utterly charming.

Speaker 5 (01:11:21):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:11:22):
I don't have any skin in that game either.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Other than him being my boss, he doesn't occupy any
time in my brain.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
I've already signed the contract.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
Stop with the as imagine my mom and Keith Kennedy
part time lovers.

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
I don't even know your mother, and I hate this money.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
I already think he sounds great. He said he's in the.

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
Berry manel you have, mom, he's into Barry Manilow.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
Oh no, what does he look like?

Speaker 4 (01:11:50):
Oh he's super hot?

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
Is he age appropriate?

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
Is he you have broken? He's like my age? I mean,
you know, he sounds great. Hook me up.

Speaker 9 (01:12:01):
Let me ask you?

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
This is he black?

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
Mom? Why does that matter?

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
He's gonna have a hard time beating future black Stepdad doesn't.
But all these guys that are calling me say that
they're going to be your future black step to him.
All right, Mom, I gotta take my mom finally texted
me back. I was like, did she get the flowers
I sent? Right, which she said like, finally, Oh, my
mom does this all the time. Oh my god, I
can't believe I didn't send this text. I thought I

(01:12:28):
sent this text. I didn't see this text. And I
again I take her at her word. But like for
people who are on their phone all the time, I
don't understand where people are like, oh.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
I didn't see this text.

only kids on the planet. I mean they're in the
early twenties, so kids, you know, but they're my kids,
only kids on the planet. Or if I want to
get a hold of them, I need to call them
right everybody else you're texting them and they're like a
week later, Oh I didn't see this.

Speaker 9 (01:15:28):
Hey, what's up, guys.

Speaker 22 (01:15:30):
I'm forty six years old and in sixth grade choir.
We had to sing from a distance, and to this day,
I know every word of that song. I hate that
goddamn song, but I know every word.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
Yeah, those things stick with you. You know who else
knows every word is Brian. You think that dude did
it better than Brian.

Speaker 12 (01:15:50):
God is watching, God is watching.

Speaker 9 (01:16:01):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
God has some social anxieties. That explains the separation, honey,
one of those. That song does not bother me. That's
one of those. It's just if it came on. I
don't even think that I would change the channel. Oh,
I couldn't tye the last time I heard it, saying
heard the song like it's from I looked in the
break nineteen ninety.

Speaker 10 (01:16:17):
Well that no one does soft rock like that anymore anyway,
like even the oldiest station here or any of the
you know, the AC stations.

Speaker 4 (01:16:24):
Aren't there light ac stations anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
There are, but they're not like that light I don't
think like they'll play like I don't know ido, you know, oh,
I see what you mean.

Speaker 4 (01:16:33):
You know what I mean, more like chick alternative. Yeah,
like they're not going old old anymore.

Speaker 10 (01:16:39):
Like they'll play Billy Joel and Elton John like they
always did, but they're not going to go as deep
as they did so many years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
Yeah, there's a station in Oh what is it? I
was thinking that might, you know, because we just play
random stations on the iHeart app, not random local stations
in our cluster or you know, in the company out
in the in the morning, and so I'll think it's
one of our stations, and then They'll be like, Eh,
Sonny one oh two Canton. Yeah, I'm like, what the

(01:17:08):
hell is this that station? Actually, with respect to them,
I mean, Sonny one A one point seven.

Speaker 10 (01:17:13):
If they were, if they were smart, they'd be playing
some of that music on some of these other radio
stations because I can see what the ratings are and
they suck. Well, looking at what Sonny's doing, it might
be a nice refresh. That thing sounds pretty fun.

Speaker 4 (01:17:23):
What I mean is I wonder if that is a
song that that station would play.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
I don't think so, no, because like they've they have
more of that, like oldies vibe too, like Okay from
a distance is just so soft acy, Like I don't
know that anybody would be playing you know what, I'm
on media base right now. I mean when I was
doing Top forty weekends in the early nineties. Top forty
radio at that time was like Elton John from The
Lion King, Celine Dion, Betton Middler, like Top forty radio

(01:17:52):
now it's all like crazy super pop music.

Speaker 10 (01:17:54):
Well, I think a lot of that stuff would still
be played now, like on an AC station, like that's
where you're gonna hear You'll Be in My Heart from Phil.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
Collins, adult contemporary being the format. Sorry, yeah, yeah, but
let's see from a distance. Let me see if I
can find this song, like if anybody's actually playing it.
I cannot imagine anyone's played that song in the last
five years. Right, Sonny has a Chicago guy on just
doing voice tracks, guy named Jeff Mason. I don't even
know if I thought their music was great. I was

(01:18:23):
really surprised. I enjoyed it. Yeah, I again, I'm such
a high screener that I really didn't pay attention to
the music.

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):
But I heard the sweepers and I was like, what
the hell is this?

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
But I'm like, maybe that's a station that would play
You're probably right, there's probably nobody untrust for already playing
that kind of music anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
I can't think so, man, maybe maybe let's see the
hell's the name of that song? From a Distance?

Speaker 1 (01:18:46):
Yeah, From a Distance nineteen ninety on her like seventh
or eighth album. It's called the Lives of People or
People's Lives or something like that. Yeah, let's see Bette Midler. Yeah,
sitting closer? Yes, all right?

Speaker 4 (01:19:04):
Hello, who says Rob Dick? What's not?

Speaker 13 (01:19:10):
Man?

Speaker 6 (01:19:10):
How are you?

Speaker 9 (01:19:10):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
What's up? How are you dick?

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Dick?

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
Do you remember Bette Midler?

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
I wanted to just tell you a special special thing
you can broadcast. But Christmas on the on the on
the on the on the dasamer is very pretty, Dick.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
Do you remember Bette Midler?

Speaker 9 (01:19:33):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
Do you play any Bette Midler songs on the dulcimer?
Could you play from a Distance on the dulcimer? No? Oh,
come on, you know that's from nineteen ninety, Dick. But
that would be more contemporary than probably a lot of
the stuff you're playing.

Speaker 9 (01:19:49):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Yeah, it's it's nice. We get about fourteen people and
there's a couple of little gigs I can play.

Speaker 1 (01:19:57):
And do you ever play whiskey? Do you ever play
whiskey before breakfast?

Speaker 5 (01:20:01):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:20:01):
Yeah, that's a good dulcimer song.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Right, Yeah, that's a good song.

Speaker 4 (01:20:06):
Yeah, Okay, we've.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Been doing a lot of the the medley all fly
Away and the Circle b and Broke Them and one
that's got a pretty peppy beat I can play with
Doo Lord's songs is pretty mm hmmm mm hmmm.

Speaker 6 (01:20:22):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
And how's life at the how's life out there at
the home?

Speaker 9 (01:20:26):
Dick?

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
Good? We're having the early Christmas party next Thursday, and
this is for the employees, and then I'll go over
to my friends.

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
Wait, they're having the christ They're having the Christmas party
even before Thanksgiving. I know people have a boner for
getting their Christmas decorations up already, but I was like,
a Christmas party before even Thanksgiving feels a little premature.

Speaker 6 (01:20:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
Well, I've been watching the cab lears Hey Allen and Brah.
I say a prayer.

Speaker 9 (01:21:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
I just hope the bounds don't go three and fourteen,
but they don't come up with a different.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
Yeah, but playing don't they Well yeah, I don't know
if it's prayer worthy, Dick. But okay, I mean there
are starving people. I was going to say in the world,
but locally there are two, so maybe point a little
love their way, but yeah, sure football as well.

Speaker 4 (01:21:21):
H do what you want to do?

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Yeah, Dick, is the Thanksgiving party? Do you have to
take a dish to pass? Do you have like a
green bean casserole or anything like that?

Speaker 4 (01:21:30):
You can without them, but it's all going to be.

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
It's all gonna be for us. But if you take
a guest, like ten dollars per person, I.

Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
Think they're good. I assume they're having it catered.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Yes, yeah, there'll be a little Talwin show.

Speaker 11 (01:21:46):
I you know, it's kind of when I was with
my uncles in Cleveland, we played you know, Christmas music
on the on the yuke and uh, DoSM, I take
this pretty? You know it's got a pretty good, pretty
a good little beat to it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
You know, it's different than what But then you can
then we jam go back to oh like uh oh
songs like uh this Landers your Land Michael Rode. The
bullet is short, but it's interesting, you know that I
can pick that up. But uh yeah, I'm doing pretty
good here. I'm I'm I want I want a little

(01:22:22):
money in Bingo.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
Today, all right, yeah, fantastic. How much how much money?

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Yeah, yeah, hey, Rob, you got any hope for the Browns?

Speaker 5 (01:22:52):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:22:53):
I don't know, Dick.

Speaker 10 (01:22:53):
I'm with you, man, I think it's uh. I think
it's just better to start looking at next year.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Yeah, Hey, you know what I missed Jimmy Donovan, don't you,
I really do.

Speaker 4 (01:23:06):
He was yah every day. He was great every day.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
And I like this one guy. Uh he does the
uh the the cavaliers look good. Uh uh talk to
the car and got Michael.

Speaker 6 (01:23:20):
You can't.

Speaker 9 (01:23:28):
Thank you, Dick.

Speaker 1 (01:23:29):
We got to move on, but as always, do appreciate
the call. There, Rob, What are the chances that I
just blindly pick up the line and it's Dick from Dave?

Speaker 4 (01:23:37):
I think very good.

Speaker 1 (01:23:37):
I was gonna say, as I was saying it out loud,
I was like, oh, this is a cell phone, because
it was probably a really really good chance that it
was him. And people will invariably text me the same
thing anytime Dick checks in. Does Dick actually listen to
the show. No, he does not, No, never once.

Speaker 9 (01:23:53):
Nope.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
That's why he calls and has time to call every
single radio station in Northeast.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
Oh, I feel bad.

Speaker 10 (01:23:59):
I I verbally exhaled with my like okay, like I
normally am pretty good at holding that stuff in.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
But you think he hears anything we say.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
No, he didn't hear our words, let alone the exhalations
of one Robert Anthony.

Speaker 10 (01:24:14):
And there is not one single spin on a Bette
Middlers song on any radio station in this country, according
to media based. All right, well, it's not like she
needs now there will be one because we just played
it from a distance.

Speaker 12 (01:24:34):
Looking boom boom downs.

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
Watch, Hey, I've got some kids corner here for kids
corner down. We go to suburb in Cincinnati, little town

(01:25:01):
called Monroe.

Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
Monroe. OHI Monroe, And I do kind of like these things.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
They're low cloying, but I do like these kinds of
things that are meant to be uplifting because it's not
anybody flexing on social media. It's not anybody you know
trolling or pranking or anything like that. It's not political.
The Monroe Local School District Monroe. I got an email

(01:25:31):
from rat and he attached to photo and it's like
an electrician a plumbing truck is in his driveway or
across the street Monroe Plumbing that he sent to me. Anyway,
Monroe School District. There in suburban Cincinnati. They put a
live microphone at the end of the hallway and there
was a paper, a printed sign on it that said

(01:25:54):
tell us something good that happened today, And I think
it's kind of sweet. They had kids walk up and
just tell their brief stories.

Speaker 9 (01:26:02):
I guess.

Speaker 4 (01:26:08):
I woke up at a good time today for school,
mister buss.

Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
Someone told me that my hair looked really pretty today.
There was a new girl at school today, and I
think I made a new friend. So, yeah, I got
one hundred percent on my German test today. I'm getting
the vibe that this is a well funded school by
the way, Oh you think I have. All these kids
are happy and they're glad to be there, and you know,
thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:34):
Wait, she didn't take DUNKA.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
She's like, I got one hundred percent of my German
test and they're applauding, and she's like, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:39):
I don't buy it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
The best part of my day.

Speaker 20 (01:26:41):
Today was seeing all my teachers like come to school
and be happy to see us and like smiling.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
Wait, why is the pilates this morning? Yeah, this is
a very well funded school and everybody went to Pilates. Well,
good for them. I mean, it's still a nice thing
to spotlight there in the town of Monroe, north of Cincinnati,
isn't that isn't Monroe?

Speaker 9 (01:27:05):
Where?

Speaker 13 (01:27:05):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
Oh God, what's the thing I remember going past on
the ways the touchdown Jesus. Isn't touchdown Jesus in Monroe?

Speaker 9 (01:27:15):
Monroe?

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
I don't know they had a thing called touchdown. It
was it was like a you know that statue of
Christ the Redeemer that's on the mountaintop in Rio. It
was like that, but it was a it wasn't on
a mountaintop. Obviously, it's Cincinnati. I think touched They called
it touchdown Jesus because his arms were up. I might
be misremembering, but I thought that's where it was. Was Monroe,

(01:27:37):
Mooro on the way to Cincinnati. Monroe, And uh so
that little bit there for the kid's corner. Also, I
was reading a thing in one of our industry trade
emails the other day, everything old is new again, and
kids rob are always allegedly looking for authenticity in their media,

(01:28:00):
in their conversation, in their relationships. And jen Z is
loving college radio. Yeah, gen Z is going back to
the start. It does kind of make me feel good
that there are kids in college who still want to
like try their hand at radio, terrestrial radio.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
My son did it kind of as a lark for
a semester. He loved it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
Nothing he aspired to, but he was like, eh, I
guess he figured if this guy.

Speaker 4 (01:28:30):
Can do it for thirty years, anybody can do it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
Talk about me, reb oh oh, talk about his dad. Yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. There used to be a publication called the
College Music Journals called CMJ, and I think that thing
is long gone. Yeah, but you used to be able
to look at the charts on CMJ, and you know,
but there's a growing phenomenon on campus. The gen Z

(01:28:58):
are discovering the joys of a good old college radio station.

Speaker 10 (01:29:02):
It's the first thing I asked my kid when she went, like,
you do some college radio. She's like, that's your thing.

Speaker 4 (01:29:08):
I'm like, okay, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
I never brought it up to my son. I was
surprised when he told me. I was like, really because
he DJs like in he would do like bars and
clubs and stuff, so he was he was a DJ.
He goes, I think I'm gonna go over to the
you know, because not every college has a terrestrial station anymore, right,
a lot of them they're online only. And that was
my first question. I'm like, are you just on the
internet because it's you know, He goes, No, No, it's

(01:29:31):
terrestrials there.

Speaker 4 (01:29:31):
Okay, cool, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
But even back in the day, if you had a
terrestrial station, it was like a for watt station, right,
it was like broadcasting.

Speaker 4 (01:29:39):
Into the cafeteria. Yeah, and nobody's listening there anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
But the semester of college radio that I did, even
though it was a non commercial signal, it was it like,
got ratings in Chicago and so not because of anything
we were doing. It was just a format nobody else
was doing. So everybody who loved that format it was
a dance was listening to them. But the gen Z

(01:30:04):
kids on campus are now it'll probably be a fleeting fancy, right,
They're like, Hey, let's see what the olds are doing.
But there's an authenticity to it.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
Obviously.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
They're gonna go, oh, this is gonna be great. I
could make a ton of oh my, I'm gonna do
something else with Yeah, I've heard a story about a
company that won't pay minimum wage for phone screeners. I
can't wait till you know what is that can't be true.
They're sitting around a campfire telling stories. Hey, I still

(01:30:44):
know where I'm going. They were on campus, all right.
I thought I had something and I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:30:49):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
A college in Lexington, Kentucky has seen exponential growth in
activities of students at their college radio station wrf L, and.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
It's kind of writ large.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
You know, a younger generation of kids are kind of
in general interested in physical media. So they're like, hey, albums,
I mean that was kind of tip of the iceberg,
was the resurgence of vinyl.

Speaker 4 (01:31:14):
But like DVDs and you know, well.

Speaker 1 (01:31:17):
I see that's where all that compressed and nostalgia comes from.
Is people are like, oh, CDs are a legacy format.

Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
Now it was I mean, what was the the one
that was that was just shut down?

Speaker 9 (01:31:27):
Here?

Speaker 4 (01:31:27):
The kids got the Cleveland State over at cso, you know,
I mean like sold to NPR. So when there's an opportunity.

Speaker 10 (01:31:35):
It's sad when it goes away like that, you know
what I mean, Like those dudes they deserve much better
than that, for sure, But I mean I get it.
It's it's there's still a business piece to all of
that stuff. But like I I walk by Caitlin's campus
and if I see an empty studio, like I see
like my brain takes over from like the programming mind.
I'm like, yeah, bad that looks especially on like parents weekend.

(01:31:56):
You can't have an empty studio, yeah, you know, I
mean again, nobody cares well.

Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
And there are also a lot of campus stations, especially
if they're like if they are you know, like NPR
stations or whatever affiliates, or they don't really have students
on them.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
It's just a camp, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:14):
Like FUV is one, I think, which is Fordham University
in New York, but they have like a longtime metal
show and things like that, so that you know, there
are campus stations of certain schools that have been around forever.

Speaker 10 (01:32:25):
Yeah, RMU is the w R m u's the station
at Mount Union. And I'm still like part of me
is like do you think they would see any value?
Like if I was like hey, I can help, man,
I like, not a couple of bucks off that tuition.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
Yeah right, I mean they've got over at Baldwin Wallace.

Speaker 9 (01:32:41):
Right.

Speaker 10 (01:32:41):
There was a station there, Yeah, the Buzz, Yeah, w BWC.
That's where there's a lot of people that actually kind
of came through that station. Oh god, what was the
guy that did Meet the Press Chuck Todd? No, the
one that before Tim Russell was a graduate of he
went to ball. The whole the media center there's named
after him.

Speaker 4 (01:33:00):
Wow, he is great. His desk from Meet the presses there.

Speaker 9 (01:33:04):
I did not know.

Speaker 10 (01:33:05):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. It was awesome, very very cool setup.
So I was into that part. Caitlyn couldn't have cared less.
It is fair, Yeah, of course, yeah, much different time. Sorry,
the sting, I was thinking it was called the Buzz.
It's called the station.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
John Carroll. I mean there are a lot of great
local station John Carroll's where he went. I'm sorry, not
Baldwin Wallace.

Speaker 9 (01:33:27):
John.

Speaker 10 (01:33:28):
I was gonna say, boy, I never heard that he
was at John Carroll. He graduated John Carroll and their
studio and everything is named after him there.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
They they do that like marathon every year and we
looked at.

Speaker 4 (01:33:39):
So many schools thinking of like the radio stations on campus,
Yeah and dork.

Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
Yeah, are you w over case Western? I mean there's
good local ones to do good shows.

Speaker 4 (01:33:54):
The Voice of Mount Union w r m U ninety
nine point, what if why don't you cut sweepers for that?
Turn it up and rip the number.

Speaker 10 (01:34:04):
There you go, and then it's funny man, because again
they're just it's like a jukebox, you know what I mean,
Like there's nobody in there.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
So it'll go from like sweet Home Alabama.

Speaker 1 (01:34:14):
Play and it'll go into some like tim No, you're
like in your your country music bed that you use. Yeah,
I've heard that play. Yeah, like what the hell's going
on in there? And Arnold Catwell call I already got
my sweepers ready, like wow the Jaws.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
It's Ellen cox Ean.

Speaker 1 (01:34:35):
Yeah, that's right, thank you waving, you're already there. I'm
already there, man, sign me up, hot hot, hot hot, Yeah,
because you have Ellen Cox in the mix. In the mix,
all right, thank you, there's kids quash.

Speaker 6 (01:34:50):
Ellen Cox show on.

Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
His first marriage didn't work out? Cut her texting another show,
sounds like you deserved it's Ellen Cox. One other point
said in.

Speaker 7 (01:35:07):
W m MS.

Speaker 1 (01:35:36):
I was reading about how they pretty much killed the
hemp market, the hemp industry overnight, two twenty billion dollars
worth because buried in the the government funding bill and
the effort to get the government back open. And by
the way, the government was never shut down. Right, you
might have noticed there were a lot of people still

(01:35:58):
getting paid. It's the ice was getting paid. Yeah, Trump
is still the contractors are getting paid. That's by the way,
how you know Trump is not using his own money
on the construction because they're getting paid with our money.
But buried in that bill was basically something that said
that they were going to make illegal something that they

(01:36:20):
had just made legal not long ago. The two point
eight billion dollar hemp market, about three hundred thousand people
nationwide employing that business.

Speaker 4 (01:36:30):
The Farm Bill from a few years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:36:35):
Allowed the manufacturers to create like gummies and drinks while
still staying technically legal.

Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
Between the THHC.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
You know, you could have a little bit of thh
see and still qualify as hemp because it was only
a fraction of its total weight. So you'd get a
little bit of a buzz, a little bit of a
loophole there, and they got rid of that. Now there
were a lot of people complaining about that, you know,
people talking about Delta eight could get this stuff at
gas stations, and so, you know, I never take them

(01:37:04):
seriously when they throw well we're worried about kids into
the mix.

Speaker 4 (01:37:09):
I don't ever take that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:10):
They've proven themselves to not care about that over and
over and over again. But it was something that they
made legal a little while ago, and now apparently they
have made it illegal.

Speaker 4 (01:37:22):
Well how long is it? California banned it last year.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
You know, the hemp industry said that, you know, the
ban would have a disastrous effect on medical patients who
rely on hemp. You know, they're people who but obviously
if you're a part of the hemp industry, then it's
in your best interest to see that it stays illegal.

Speaker 4 (01:37:43):
But apparently that is going away. What were you saying? No,
I just I how long?

Speaker 10 (01:37:47):
So they say it's illegal, But how long do you
have before it's what's enforceable? I don't know, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
Like that's the thing, like, oh, yeah, it's illegal when
oh twenty twenty nine, right, okay, cool, So it's not
The industry exploded from two hundred million dollars a year
to almost three billion in the last three years because
they had massive coverage, right, gas stations and convenience stores
and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:38:16):
But he's three billion. That big of an industry though.

Speaker 1 (01:38:18):
Well, I mean, if you've got three hundred thousand people
working in it and you've got people, I mean, it's
not nothing, no.

Speaker 10 (01:38:23):
I know, but but that's not It doesn't feel like
that's in as big a detriment as if something else
went away.

Speaker 1 (01:38:29):
But that's in the first three years. Okay, they went
from two hundred million dollars to two point eight billion dollars.
I do think some of that stuff with the loopholes
is wicked dangerous though, well twice today, I think that
there is a case to be made for that. All
I'm saying is you're talking and they're trying to do
it in Ohio. Well, the people voted for this, but

(01:38:49):
they didn't really know what they wanted, so we're going
to try and roll it back. Whether it's you know,
reproductive rights or pot or whatever. There's this push to
do that. If you have an issue like marijuana legalization
or this kind of stuff, it's overwhelmingly popular right, you
have like eighty percent of people in the entire country

(01:39:10):
who support it. You have half of the states in
the Union allowing recreational use. So if you come through
with some federal crackdown, it doesn't feel like it's, well,
this is just good policy. The people in charge now
couldn't care less about policy.

Speaker 6 (01:39:25):
By the way.

Speaker 1 (01:39:26):
It just feels like, you know, people getting even on
some prohibition level type stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:39:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:39:32):
Again, it's not a dog that I have in that fight,
but I got a text from Sergeant t.

Speaker 9 (01:39:40):
Allan.

Speaker 1 (01:39:40):
Do you or Rob have any strange food concoctions when
you get the munchies? I just had two bowls of
Chris Picks a few spoonfuls of hot honey baked beans.
So tomorrow should be fun. Two bowls of Chris Picks. Yeah,
but that's pretty neutral. Cris Picks.

Speaker 10 (01:40:00):
Well, he's gonna have a solid but it's gonna be loud.
That's what's gonna happen, you.

Speaker 6 (01:40:03):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:40:03):
Like that combination, it's gonna be wow, It's gonna be
loud and solid.

Speaker 4 (01:40:08):
Yeah, all right, Well that's the best you can hope for.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
Sometimes there you go, there's Sergeant t after his crispicks
and hot honey baked beans. Oh yeah, that's what heft
man for a stitch like a breakwater booie. Yeah yeah,
pisiotomy time for Sergeant T. No, I don't think I

(01:40:37):
you know, I used to All I ever used to
eat when I got high back in the day was
Swedish fish. And I don't know why, because I don't
eat them in my normal life, Like Swedish fish is
not a go to candy for me. But for whatever reason,
every time I got high it was either gummy colas,
which to this day I enjoy in general, But the
only time I read Swedish fish is when I was high.
And I don't know why this fish. Now again, this

(01:40:59):
was pre gummies. Now, if you like candy, you just
eat a gummy. It's kind of the same thing. But
when back in the day we were just smoking Swedish fish,
I would just house a giant bag of Swedish fish.

Speaker 4 (01:41:11):
Odd for me.

Speaker 10 (01:41:12):
My favorite thing when I was high. And this is
again going back to you know, shake weed. Because of
this stuff today I can't do. But my favorite thing
in the world cold pasta. Oh okay, cold pasta, and
then just wearing air song Love It Cold? Oh still
do still love it Cold? That doesn't actually happen, but

(01:41:38):
I just uh yeah, cold pasta.

Speaker 4 (01:41:40):
Cold pasta like the Rush song.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
True. Okay, listen, Golly, I gotta tell you I love
nothing more than a story about responsible gun owners, rob Ki.
Sponsible gun owners got this shot Like the two landscapers

(01:42:06):
who found a gun out in Lyndhurst and then started
dicking around and one of them shot the other one. Okay, yeah, Lyndhurst, Ohio.
Two landscapers were working, found a weapon in the yard.
This sounds made up instantly. It sounds made up because

(01:42:29):
I think law enforcement was involved, Lindhurst police or something.
But I can't imagine how if let's say, you're stupid. Okay,
and again this is no I'm not casting his persons
on landscapers. I'm just saying that's what these two guys are,
and this is the situation they found themselves in. I'll
just read this as written, because I can't imagine anybody
genuinely would do this. Two landscapers with absolutely no regard

(01:42:51):
for gun safety found a weapon in a yard in Lindhurst,
proceeded to point it at each other while pulling its trigger. Yeah,
that makes sense, I mean, what else would you do.
The result, as one might expect, was not good. This
person rights. One of them was shot and sustained a
severe mouth injury. Shot in the face, rob.

Speaker 9 (01:43:12):
In the face.

Speaker 1 (01:43:14):
The two men were working in a yard of a
winding creek lake home. I'm sure that's a real hovel,
and they found a gun on the property. One of
the men, thirty two year old of Huron, pointed the
gun at the other man, an eighteen year old of Painesville,
and pulled the trigger multiple times, just making sure it

(01:43:36):
was empty. The gun did not discharge. The Painsville man,
the teenager, eighteen, took the gun and pointed it at
the other guy. He also pulled the trigger, and this
time he shot the guy in the mouth. They took
him to Hillcrest Hospital. So two dudes they find a gun.

(01:43:59):
I can't get my head around this. Why would you
pick up a gun and then click click click click,
like pointed at the other guy. You hear stories about
people who accidentally kill themselves, you know, like the deer Hunter.
You're playing Russian Roulette or something, and you forget still
might be one in the chamber just because you don't
you know you got a check But to find a gun,

(01:44:19):
you're on a job and you just go click, click click,
I mean and then to pus, it's someone's face too, right,
like if you're gonna even if you're gonna pull the
trigger to see if it's right, point it down, I mean,
aim it at someone's face. Gun ownership, one oh one.
No matter how much of a moron you are, always
assume well or you don't point it at anything you're

(01:44:42):
not prepared to shoot?

Speaker 4 (01:44:44):
No, so why.

Speaker 1 (01:44:49):
But every part of that story, it just gets better
and better. You go, Hey, a couple of landscapers, okay,
if on a gun in the yard.

Speaker 4 (01:44:57):
Oh okay, dumber and dumber.

Speaker 1 (01:45:00):
And then they pointed the one at the other he did, yeah,
pulled the trigger a bunch of times.

Speaker 4 (01:45:06):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (01:45:06):
Nothing happened, Oh okay. Then he gave it to the
other guy. Okay, but I did the same thing, and
they're fine, Nope, shot him.

Speaker 4 (01:45:12):
In the mouth. Oh God, I gotta, I gotta. I
gotta tell you about one comment in the chat. I
don't know how exclusive it is.

Speaker 1 (01:45:32):
It's in the Alansho chat room on on on on YouTube.

Speaker 4 (01:45:37):
It just that it made me laugh.

Speaker 10 (01:45:41):
We were talking about that dense bowel movement, the big PLoP,
and I said, geez, that sounds dense. Poor guy probably
had to go for a stitch. Just making a joke
about the size of it. You said, go for an episiotomy.
Drunk Sue said, pisy otomies are nothing to joke about, Alan,
And that ends this thing that made me laugh because

(01:46:03):
clearly she has some history with Yeah, that issue, and
it's nothing to joke about. I don't know what to
say to it, and I feel bad about it. I
know that I shouldn't laugh at it, but it was
so out of nowhere that I had to pause for

(01:46:23):
a moment.

Speaker 1 (01:46:24):
Jusiotomy when you're talking about a giant dump is hilarious,
all right, if you're giving birth to another living being. Sure,
and no they're gonna cut it from ruder to tutoring me.

Speaker 4 (01:46:35):
A stitch for a huge dump is funny. It's high hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:46:39):
Why poor Sue. Poor Sue said she was dealing with
some medical stuff. I understand. I'm sure she's especially sensitive.

Speaker 4 (01:46:47):
Of anything of a medical nature.

Speaker 9 (01:46:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:46:50):
Maybe she's gotten the business end of a scalpel recently.

Speaker 9 (01:46:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:46:54):
I think she said I was reading through some of
the stuff earlier, and I think she had some stuff
going on. I don't know what Jow's does, but I
just thought that one was so pointed. At least these
theotomies are nothing to joke about, Alan.

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
Yeah, at least it's not Bunyan related.

Speaker 4 (01:47:08):
So this time we might have a dense poop expert
online too. Oh yeah, all right, Hello, who's this?

Speaker 23 (01:47:15):
Hi is Leslie Hie?

Speaker 1 (01:47:17):
Are you a dense poop expert?

Speaker 4 (01:47:19):
By chance? Are you a DPE?

Speaker 1 (01:47:22):
I know that you're a very very accomplished academic and
scientist in your own right. Any chance you're also a
dense poop expert?

Speaker 23 (01:47:30):
I mean, I worked for a hot second at Gojo
Industries in their microbio lab.

Speaker 13 (01:47:36):
But that would have been like like almost fifteen years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:47:39):
But isn't that is it? Don't they make lubricants?

Speaker 23 (01:47:43):
No, you're thinking of lubers all Gojo They do like
pirell and.

Speaker 4 (01:47:46):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:47):
I was thinking it was some kind of right, some
kind of liquid they make the hand sanitizer, All right, Wesley?
Is there anything funny about it? A peasiotomy?

Speaker 24 (01:47:57):
I don't know what that is?

Speaker 1 (01:47:58):
What see Leslie's wildness. So pisiotomy is when they got
to slice you from hole to hole there because it's
too too small for the kid to come out.

Speaker 24 (01:48:09):
Oh.

Speaker 23 (01:48:09):
I also, it's not the husband's stitch.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
No, or for this purpose.

Speaker 4 (01:48:13):
The joke was the BM was too big and they
had to go in for a stitch.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
Well, no that they call it the joke as they
call it the husband's stitch because the husband goes give
her one more to make it tighter.

Speaker 4 (01:48:22):
Yeah, that's the joke. Yeah right, gross.

Speaker 1 (01:48:24):
Thanks, I hate it.

Speaker 7 (01:48:25):
I hate it.

Speaker 6 (01:48:26):
It got I love you too, guys.

Speaker 23 (01:48:31):
For a hot second, I want to bring it back
to the HEMPS bill.

Speaker 15 (01:48:36):
And forgive me.

Speaker 6 (01:48:36):
It may be because I am very ignorant.

Speaker 23 (01:48:38):
Because I am not in government, and I understand that
the government doesn't actually work for us. Even though the
people that have the we the people tattooed on their
arm in the Declaration of the Dependence, they wipe their
butt with it. But how is it legal that they
can just go and like slides unpopular stuff into big

(01:48:58):
bills like this, that it's stuff that it wouldn't pass.

Speaker 13 (01:49:01):
On their own.

Speaker 23 (01:49:02):
Therefore they weasel it in and they're like, well, it's
got to pass. Therefore push it through, and then we
end up with situations like this for an industry is
effectively decimated.

Speaker 1 (01:49:12):
That old time it's pork barrel politics they called pork
I mean, because yeah, I mean, that's how that stuff
that's the bulk of legislation gets passed that way. They're like, well,
we can't agree on anything on straight votes. So everybody
who's trying to represent moneyed interests in their own state
is like rand Paul, right, Yeah, they love to call

(01:49:33):
him a doctor. He's an optometrist, no shade an optometrists.
But they talk about this guy like he's Jonah Sulk.
He was the loan holdout on this government shutdown bill
because he's like, no, I'm not voting on the hemp
thing because I got a lot of hemp producers in Kentucky.
So everybody's theoretically operating in the interests of their constituents,

(01:49:54):
but these things are always loaded with stuff that has
nothing to do with the actual legislation.

Speaker 4 (01:49:59):
Tons.

Speaker 23 (01:50:00):
Did you guys ever have to watch that video back
in like high school civics class. It's just I'm just
a I feel it. Collectively, we all have to rewatch.
I cannot, for the life of me remember what those
videos were, but we had to watch them in like
AP government class.

Speaker 4 (01:50:15):
Yeah, of course it was schoolhouse rock Yep.

Speaker 23 (01:50:17):
Yes, I feel like we all have to collectively as
a country watch that so that we can figure out
how the government is supposed to work. And maybe I
don't know about people in there.

Speaker 4 (01:50:26):
You do that well, they used to teach.

Speaker 1 (01:50:28):
They used to teach civics class. I mean, I took
Civics in school. They don't teach that anymore. But then
what would people have to hate each other today?

Speaker 4 (01:50:36):
Say again, I.

Speaker 23 (01:50:38):
Said, I took ap government back in the day, and
you know, admittedly all of that has kind of been
wiped out of my brain in effort to fill it
with science. But you know how people feel about that lately,
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:50:49):
So listen all this Michigan aside, Leslie, all I heard
from you is I'm not a dense poop expert, sure.

Speaker 23 (01:50:57):
Eight, but I still love you guys.

Speaker 25 (01:50:58):
Anyway, a day, Leslie sent me a nice opposite of
poop news, nice nice d m earlier and she so
they hope you know, I was only kidding, Like I
didn't mean old.

Speaker 4 (01:51:12):
I meant old because clip wrapper. I was like, Nope,
I didn't know that, and I'm horribly offended and I
don't like you anymore.

Speaker 9 (01:51:20):

the future. Thanks, I hate it.

Speaker 1 (01:51:32):
So applicable on this program, Rob We're going You thought

Call the Allan Cox Show named Ellen Cox Show sucks.

Speaker 5 (01:52:03):
Two one six seven one double O seven or one
eight three four eighty one double O seven.

Speaker 1 (01:52:17):
Well Annie Clark for you see Vincent played out in
front of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for
that big Women in Rock exhibit, took my kid rock.
I thought maybe she would be inspired to see female
fronted bands and artists, and but I kind of missed
time that it was nine thirty ten o'clock on a

(01:52:37):
Friday night, so I brought a blanket. She was flopped
out in the lawn my intentions were good, and I'm
a sucker for Saint Vincent.

Speaker 4 (01:52:45):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (01:52:46):
Hey, tonight Your Cleveland Cavalier's fresh off a revenge kill
against the Miami Heat one sixteen to one oh five
something like that last night after losing to them in
over time on Monday. Calves are back home for the
foreseeable future next ten days. I think they're playing the
Toronto Raptors tonight, who are pretty good to basketball team.

(01:53:09):
Right now, seven o'clock tip off at the Rocket Arena,
six thirty pre game here on the buzzard and on
the iHeartRadio app. I found out that you might see
one Robert Anthony up in the suite.

Speaker 7 (01:53:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:53:19):
The suite that Melissa's company has is the ones I
was thinking of. So they've got some six those middle suites.

Speaker 13 (01:53:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:53:26):
Are they just in a different location or are they larger?

Speaker 13 (01:53:28):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:53:29):
I don't know size or I'll let you know when
I get there, but right man, these are you'll be
kind enough to send me photos.

Speaker 4 (01:53:35):
I hope sure?

Speaker 1 (01:53:35):
Thing all right now, little thought experiment, what if the
sweet better location, closer to the floor, more mid level,
let's say, even bigger, So the menu is pretty sweet. Yeah,
I think they're probably all the same, but let's just
say that this particular location much better.

Speaker 4 (01:53:54):
However, a standard toilet ooh boy, you know that's be
a problem. I didn't think of that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:02):
That takes away choice, isn't it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
that it takes away everything heat it toto toilet, the
automation with the remote control. Now I'm a dummy, and
I you know, I just got a standard toilet at
Cosa Cox a couple of them. I collect toilets. That's
what I'm trying to say, right right. So I didn't
know how to work the remote because it's like a

(01:54:23):
little it's not even a remote control for those toilets there.
It's like a little iPad screen. I didn't know how
to work it. And I was so excited to try
it because it's got so I don't think it has
a bidday it does?

Speaker 4 (01:54:34):
Oh it does? Oh it does?

Speaker 1 (01:54:35):
Oh Okay, well, no wonder you're excited. Yeah, and if
it's not there, it takes away one hundred percent. It
was going to say everything I had to talk about
with everybody else. I was going to say, yeah, what
are you going to do? Then you'd be like, what, well,
what you do is you pivot to Can you believe
they don't have a heat of total toilet in there?
They But these may not be sweet people, allan, you

(01:54:57):
know what I mean? Like they may not know like
we do with the other sweet have you know? I
guess yeah, maybe I feel like you gotta know your audience.
If I walk in there and talking about total toilets,
they're like, well, I don't know what that is.

Speaker 4 (01:55:10):
Huh oh, No, I'll sit.

Speaker 9 (01:55:12):
Hey, you okay?

Speaker 24 (01:55:12):
In there?

Speaker 26 (01:55:13):
All right?

Speaker 10 (01:55:14):
There will be no sound if there's one. If there's
one in there, I'm sitting. I'll sit to pee. I'll
sit to poo if I don't. Even if I don't,
I might just sit and try. You need a stitch
in there, buddy, No, no piece of the enemies for
me today.

Speaker 6 (01:55:28):
Down So when I pooh, I cannot swoop pee.

Speaker 1 (01:55:34):
That's a banger, so good. Gotta have it moisty yeah,
doo deep doo doo doo doo doo.

Speaker 10 (01:55:50):
And I don't want to drink a coffee, so I'm
drinking for the first time, I would say in over
a decade, I'm drinking a full strength Coca cola.

Speaker 9 (01:55:57):
Oh God, for you?

Speaker 1 (01:55:59):
What is it full strength? Because regular coke like a no,
like not a you know whatever? Zero wow, full blown coke.
You haven't had a Coca Cola in a decade. That
should maybe more wow? You know that as a mixer
and a lot of rum and coke nothing nothing, And
if I do, it's diet coke or it's coke zero.
I've had a coke coke. I think a standard classic

(01:56:22):
can of coke cannot be beat. It's delicious. It's everybody
goes Mexican coke. Yeah, that's great too, But I mean
you're not gonna glass bottle.

Speaker 4 (01:56:29):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:56:30):
It's very sweet, it's got how sweet it is, right,
But it's great, tastes great. So I apologize in advance
for the belches. I don't drink soda, understood. Setting yourself
up for success this thing Tonight's right?

Speaker 10 (01:56:43):
It would be awake, I could. I could already do
that now, So I don't see one sip. It's instant.
It's every single time I drink pop. All right, Well,
better out the attic than the basement, I guess.

Speaker 4 (01:57:00):
At least for now.

Speaker 1 (01:57:00):
Yeah, I gotta save them for when I get to
the arena. Hi stripper, Scott, Hi, everybody, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (01:57:10):
I heard you were talking about what was it a
dense bowel?

Speaker 6 (01:57:14):
How dense?

Speaker 4 (01:57:15):
A dense poop expert is how we were referring to
the scoop de Yeah, i'moop.

Speaker 9 (01:57:23):
I can't really claim like any kind of certification from
a clinted university in the subject. But I'm only speaking
who's gotten ripped open a number of times, ripped open, ripped.

Speaker 4 (01:57:36):
I hope, I hope for your sake.

Speaker 1 (01:57:37):
I know American healthcare is utterly broken, Scott, but I
hope for your sake it was a bit more surgical
than that.

Speaker 9 (01:57:44):
I mean, I won in two thousand and nine for
the hemorrhoid surgery. So the way they explain it is
that I guess there's three blood vessels down there that
make up the hemorrhoid system, and people going they have
like warn or maybe two, but it's kind of rare
at all three at once.

Speaker 1 (01:58:01):
And then they're coming they're coming at Scott in the
table with pinking shears, you know what I mean, He's
got like okay, all right, yeah, I bet oh no.

Speaker 9 (01:58:13):
That was yeah, it was well, I mean the side stories.
At the recovery, they make you have to void your
bladder before they send you home to make sure you're okay,
because a lot of the time you can't peek at
the pain overrides the ability to relax your people cockxygial muscle,
so you'll go toxic. But I just woke up for

(01:58:34):
antassia and I was able to get a little bit out,
and I guess they're like good enough, send them home.
And then I then I couldn't They couldn't pee, and
they couldn't take me before midnight. I don't know if
it was an insurance thing or a liability thing, but
I had to go back to the er at midnight,
at which point they cathorized me to get a one
and a half loaters out. But that's the kind of
a side story that was pretty bad. But every time

(01:58:56):
I had a bomb over for the next three months
basically kind of undid some of the what the work
they did. And I just it was massive bleeding, uh
every time every day for the months. Oh man, I
can't have a little I have a little go bag
with me I had to carry to work a little
like and it actually lunch box, but it was like
gauze and white mins walk a little arc ass repaired.

(01:59:20):
It was just like had I had had stuff gauze
up there, every time it would just bleed and it
was I was like three and a half months I
think of that, and it was it was the worst.

Speaker 4 (01:59:34):
So you'd have to put in like a a gasket,
like a little tampon or something in the in the bum.

Speaker 9 (01:59:40):
No, I mean yeah, it's like it's like, yeah, it's
like the gasket leaks. It's like it's not it's not
a good seal anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:59:47):
You know, you didn't have a did you didn't have
a stoma?

Speaker 9 (01:59:49):
Did you?

Speaker 13 (01:59:51):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:59:52):
It was no, it was just at the vessels them
like well everything else with my my legs, I mean
in my left leg, the the veins, the Varico's veins
that they failed. So the same thing. It's the same
mechanisms being in your legs if this is in your holes.

Speaker 4 (02:00:08):
So those things are all connected.

Speaker 1 (02:00:11):
Not to be morbid about it, but someday we will
all die. Someday when Stripper Scott's ticket gets punched, think
of the work the Emmy is going to have to do.

Speaker 4 (02:00:21):
They're gonna be like, what finally did him in. They're like,
I gotta take it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
I got a phone book here full of stuff this
guy had I gotta check to figure out which box
to check.

Speaker 9 (02:00:31):
I'll make it easy for him right now. Uh head,
no joke.

Speaker 4 (02:00:36):
Around, Scott. H Now we have to do a welfare call.
See I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (02:00:43):
I mean.

Speaker 9 (02:00:45):
Faster than the other ways, I guess, but one way another,
it's going to be, Scott.

Speaker 10 (02:00:50):
For your sake, I hope you bleed about the ass
until you're ninety nine years old.

Speaker 1 (02:00:55):
Enjoy your life, my friend. Enjoy any sandwich, right, this
is enjoying every sandwich.

Speaker 9 (02:01:00):
Robb.

Speaker 1 (02:01:00):
It's gonna I'll flash forward you here in the future.

Speaker 4 (02:01:02):
Okay. Oh no, Hi, Scott, a warm book, No I.

Speaker 3 (02:01:14):
Problems.

Speaker 4 (02:01:14):
Yeah, so you.

Speaker 1 (02:01:17):
Didn't take my advice and bleed about the ass until
you were ninety five. Oh good, good, But you still managed.

Speaker 10 (02:01:28):
To die of a self inflicted gunshot to the head.
Oh okay, all right, so you could have gone, you
could have gone longer.

Speaker 9 (02:01:36):
I see you.

Speaker 4 (02:01:39):
We'll flash into the future.

Speaker 9 (02:01:41):
There for you.

Speaker 1 (02:01:41):
See, Scott, we've got you hanging around. Man, you're not
going anywhere. Thanks, I mean, he goes thanks.

Speaker 26 (02:01:50):
Question.

Speaker 4 (02:01:51):
Now he's like yeah, you're really killing me a favor. Thanks,
questions feel better?

Speaker 9 (02:01:55):
I mean, there is a bleeding is not as daily
as it used to be, but it's still it's old thing.

Speaker 4 (02:02:00):
Is it still for the same reason?

Speaker 9 (02:02:03):
Uh No, I've had a few times after where I've
had a going for like tun ups, I know, the Yeah,
I just had a get like a clot, you know,
I get a blood clot, I get him in my
legs and I get him in the button buttle and
then they gotta go in there and stick it with
the lands and drain it out, and it's it's just Allen.

Speaker 1 (02:02:21):
Aren't you playing a butthole blood clot on.

All right, Scott, listen. Uh I never know how to
end the call with you, but listen, keep your head up,
hold Joe head up.

Speaker 4 (02:02:55):
Deep into the all right, thank you, Scott.

Speaker 1 (02:03:07):
I feel silly calling him stripper Scott, but I don't
want to give him some updated nickname, and this audience
knows him as Stripper Scott.

Speaker 4 (02:03:15):
I don't want to call him Stonema Scott. That's that's
not terrible.

Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
Ellen.

Speaker 1 (02:03:21):
What if Rob finds himself in the most elegant suite
the Rocket Arena tonight for the Qualities Game, the finest cuisine,
but it contains a mallard.

Speaker 3 (02:03:33):
About that?

Speaker 4 (02:03:33):
Unlikely?

Speaker 1 (02:03:34):
I mean, it would be weird if there was one.
But yeah, maybe it was being served on it.

Speaker 9 (02:03:39):
All right.

Speaker 1 (02:04:37):

So now I gotta I gotta deal with all that crap.
That's so, that's what I'm doing. But I gotta.

Speaker 4 (02:05:08):

Good laying at bed at night in the morning and

ten o'clock at night. Oh god, they're out there all
twenty four twenty four seven. Yeah, whenever the ducks want
to talk, that's what they're gonna do. It's not the
duck's fault, you know what.

Speaker 4 (02:05:27):
I mean, Like I'm not. It was like, oh, take
care of the ducks. No, it's not their fault, their
animals owners ducks. Guys.

Speaker 1 (02:05:36):
I spent eight days in the hospital, this person says,
with a broken leg, and I didn't go number two
the entire time.

Speaker 4 (02:05:42):
Wolf, how about that?

Speaker 1 (02:05:44):
Yikes, I'm not renaming him bleeding whole Scott. First of all,
there's no alliteration, right, it's gotta have some judge to bhs.

Speaker 9 (02:05:55):
Al.

Speaker 1 (02:05:55):
And I ripped myself in that way. It's a painful
few months. How do you rip yourself with a very
dense poop? Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh Jesus, I didn't
even think that that was necessarily possible. But doctor visits
were unsuccessful. I made somepositories out of frozen coconut oil capsules.

Speaker 4 (02:06:17):
Why, boy, that's not the time you want to diy.

Speaker 1 (02:06:21):
No, I feel just go get some right, yeah, Alan,
what if the sweet is only playing Jimmy Buffett, Well,
that's just gonna Why would that happen at a Cavs game?
That's gonna compound Rob's displeasure, because that's going to be
on top of talking to a bunch of people he's
never met. Hey, it's time, by the way, play a

(02:06:43):
little bit here. The Clarks, the Great Clarks from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
to bid farewell to the noble penny Robins.

Speaker 4 (02:06:53):
Penny is going away.

Speaker 24 (02:06:54):
There's a penny on the floor in your don't television.

Speaker 4 (02:07:00):
The Great Scott Blaze.

Speaker 3 (02:07:02):
Found another man to take my place.

Speaker 24 (02:07:08):
There's a penny on the form was a Chersey rise
poss reflection of my face.

Speaker 1 (02:07:20):
The last one cent coin rob was stamped yesterday in Philadelphia.
The last one cent coin. It's been around since seventeen
ninety two. Trump is not the first president to suggest
getting rid of the penny, because they famously cost more

(02:07:40):
to produce.

Speaker 4 (02:07:42):
Than their work.

Speaker 10 (02:07:44):
Like you do you think they kept the last one,
Like you think it's going to be on a display somewhere,
like the last one that rolled off the line, Like
they put it on an.

Speaker 4 (02:07:54):
I have to think so, right, they're just not going
to put that into circulation.

Speaker 1 (02:08:00):
The Treasury Department said the last two pennies were stamped
with a special Omega mark and will not go into circulation.

Speaker 10 (02:08:06):
There you go, So the last two so you would
want that one right before it and be like the
other two are in this place, but bitch right here.

Speaker 4 (02:08:14):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (02:08:16):
The government plans to auction the pennies off in the future.

Speaker 4 (02:08:19):
Oh, I bet they do.

Speaker 1 (02:08:23):
Even though the US men has stopped making pennies, they
won't go away anytime soon because they are about two
hundred and fifty billion of them currently in circulation. Rip
to the noble penny, and again a massive blow to
the take a penny, leave a penny tray industrial complex.

(02:08:48):
And so I guess for people who are into coins,
every penny you find is part of you know, it's
one in a series of two hundred and fifty billion robs,
each one of them stamped with the date and the
But the US Mint no longer producing pennies. Our smallest,

(02:09:11):
our smallest coin currency will be the nickel. I wonder
how long it will take before we just kind of
forget that pennies were a thing. Well, they've been around
since seventeen ninety two.

Speaker 10 (02:09:21):
Well no, I mean, but if there's two hundred and
fifty billion of them in circulation, yep, how long before
like somebody is like, oh, yeah, remember we used to
use pennies, Like you don't see them anymore. I don't
ever use cash, so I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:09:34):
I don't know either, But anytime I end up with
coins in my pocket, there's always a couple of pennies.

Speaker 4 (02:09:39):
And that's what I mean. So how long before that's
all gone?

Speaker 9 (02:09:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:09:43):
But also, like on the retail side, right now, they're like, well,
how do we round up? Eh, we've got how do
we do the rounding? Like?

Speaker 4 (02:09:51):
It seems pretty easy. I bet you guys will figure
it out. It seems like the easiest thing in the world,
isn't I bet you'll know. I bet you'll know.

Speaker 1 (02:10:00):
I have faith and everyone working in the retail industry.
Think about the coin star business.

Speaker 4 (02:10:30):
You know, it's painkillers stops everything. I stop you up.

Speaker 1 (02:10:35):
That is a that is a dense turn that one. Yes, well,
I mean things coming in hot.

Speaker 4 (02:10:43):

You know, you think this guy's gonna do one thing,
then he does another thing.

Speaker 6 (02:11:19):
When a third thing happens.

Speaker 7 (02:11:20):
And it's a bummer because you kind of just wanting
to keep doing that middle thing.

Speaker 1 (02:11:26):

giving you trips to La.

Speaker 4 (02:12:14):
And I think only you have them. If I read
that right, I think only you have them.

Speaker 1 (02:12:18):
At five, if you're trying to get to our Alter
Ego festival, it is sold out. That thing sells out
very quickly. It's at the key Of Forum in Los
Angeles on January the seventeenth, if memory serves, and it's
Green Day twenty one Pilots Cage the Elephant, Sublime, Good Charlotte,

(02:12:40):
their first show in Los Angeles in a decade, Gig

playing tonight Toronto. Raptors are in town and so the Calves,

(02:13:14):
coming off a big win, a revenge win, back to
back games against the Miami Heat down there in Florida,
lost in overtime on Monday, and then last night was

Cavia drains. Ah, yes, now let's have a couple of pops.
If you're over there, come find me.

Speaker 4 (02:13:55):
Yeah, yes, I know everyone's texting me that hog calling Camerce.
It's the worst. I don't even know what it's for.

Speaker 1 (02:14:04):
You know, the point of advertising is to catch people's attention,
but then leave them with the notion of what you're advertising.

Speaker 4 (02:14:11):
And I don't even know what it's.

Speaker 10 (02:14:12):
I think it's for some stupid app and that the
reason they have that particular thing is you can become
the voice that you can replace that guy doing that
stupid call. I see, I don't I don't know, but
it is obnoxious, Brosie.

Speaker 1 (02:14:39):
Okay, yeah, no, listen, I would like to have been
in the studio when that guy was doing that. And
how did he win the audition? I think that might
have just been somebody they hired. But the gig is
you can replace him.

Speaker 4 (02:14:52):
I see.

Speaker 1 (02:14:53):
So if you can scream like that, yeah, I've never
seen you in I've never seen you so ambitious.

Speaker 9 (02:15:02):
Did I just win? Yeah?

Speaker 25 (02:15:04):
Yes you did.

Speaker 4 (02:15:05):
Yeah, there's no no other entries. I won because I
did it for you.

Speaker 1 (02:15:14):
From Anthony, the new voice of the Hog Caller.

Speaker 4 (02:15:18):
I should check to see what they're paying first.

Speaker 1 (02:15:23):
Row, boss man, we gotta do something about this. Are
you calling from your basement? I mean, you know, is
your phone across the room? Allen?

Speaker 19 (02:15:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:15:37):
Bro, maybe maybe we could do something about these hog commercials.

Speaker 4 (02:15:41):
Uh huh, I can't Is your phone across the room?

Speaker 1 (02:15:45):
Sir? I can't really hear you. I mean I heard it,
but I don't know what. No, listen, I don't I
don't control the advertisements. Those are people who spend money
on the radio station, which is what I care about.
Might be it might be annoying, sure, but if they're
spending money on this program, that's what I care about.
All right, Thanks, all right, Hey, thanks man, Dave, are

(02:16:07):
you annoyed? You biam woo?

Speaker 4 (02:16:11):
Whoa whoa? I like the short one.

Speaker 1 (02:16:18):
Who whoo whoo whoo whoa whoa. You know what, maybe
I'll just play that for our guest next week.

Speaker 4 (02:16:27):
Oh yeah, whoa, just the one. Yeah, let's save it
to the end.

Speaker 1 (02:16:34):
Okay, Hey, if you listen to us on iHeartRadio from
out of state, I like to know where people are,
and we have hundreds and hundreds of people on our
bureau chief map, and then I have them in like
six point font on this list that I refer to
when I just randomly throw a dart at people. Justin
listens in Honolulu, and he is in ta Peka, Kansas.

(02:16:54):
Wally is one of our bureau chiefs in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Colleen is in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Amy listens in Noonan, Georgia.
Rachel is one of our many bureau cheese in the
Great State of Oregon. She's in Redmond, Oregon. And we
have bureau chiefs in Eugene, Oregon. Anthony is one of them. Now,
if you're in Eugene, if you go one hour due west,

(02:17:17):
you'll hit the Ocean coastal Oregon. Is a town called Florence.
And I'm sure you've seen this or maybe heard it,
but it's come back around again, people of the sun.
Fifty five years ago this week, Oregon chose violence against
a beached whale. Remember this, they blew it up where

(02:17:38):
they blew up the whale on the beach. I do
They got a demolition crew out there. There were people
come out to watch. This is nineteen seventy. There was
a beached whale that washed up Florence, Oregon, and they
were like, well, it's just lying there and it's rotting

(02:17:58):
and its stinks. And so the state sent a munch
of transportation crews out and they were like, what are
we going to do? And it was fifty five years ago, yesterday,
November twelfth, nineteen seventy, where they blew up the whale.
They got a half ton of dynamite and they thought

(02:18:19):
you would think that demolition people would know this is
what was going to happen. They said, well, we hope
that it would be disintegrated by the blast a giant whale.
You think the people. Now, again, I don't know anything
about demolition. I like watching things blow up, but you
have to assume it's going to do exactly what it did, though,

(02:18:40):
But why wouldn't they know that? Why wouldn't the demolition
crew know that? And they covered it live on local
television and it was a sight to behold. I'm skipping
you to about halfway through where they start the countdown
and there are dozens of by and sit bystanders and
by sitters. They're on the beach waiting for them to

(02:19:01):
blow up this whales.

Speaker 4 (02:19:06):
And the countdown begins on screen five or two.

Speaker 1 (02:19:16):
Their codes.

Speaker 3 (02:19:18):
The boom.

Speaker 1 (02:19:21):
Whale chunks rained down on everyone. People begin to flee,
vehicles damaged.

Speaker 27 (02:19:32):
Our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast. The humor
of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run
for survival. A huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere.
Pieces of meat passed high over our heads, while others
were falling at our feet.

Speaker 1 (02:19:46):
A run for survival. Boy, that's nothing you ever want
to hear in a live news coverage. There it turned
into a run for survival.

Speaker 27 (02:19:53):
The dunes were rapidly evacuated. The spectators escaped both the
falling debris and the overwhelming smell. A parked car over
a quarter of a mile from the blast, sight was
the target of one large chunk. A passenger compartment literally smashed.

Speaker 1 (02:20:05):
Imagine you come back to your car and it is obliterated,
like it was like a ragtop convertible this car, but
the roof was up and it was flattened.

Speaker 27 (02:20:14):
Just hit as badly as the car. However, everyone on
the scene was covered with small particles of dead whale.
As for the success of the effort, well, the seagulls
who were supposed to clean things up were nowhere in sight,
either scared away by the explosion or kept away by
the smell.

Speaker 1 (02:20:29):
That didn't really matter.

Speaker 27 (02:20:30):
The remaining chunks were of such a size that no
respectable seagull would attempt to tackle anyway. As darkness began
to set in, the highway crews were back on the
beach burying the remains, including a large piece of the carcass,
which never lie.

Speaker 1 (02:20:42):
Why didn't they just bury the entire thing from the jump.
They're like, oh, they're out there with bobcats and diggers
burying the remains.

Speaker 4 (02:20:49):
Well, how big was it? A huge?

Speaker 1 (02:20:51):
It was?

Speaker 10 (02:20:52):
I don't know, I know, but so at that point
can you even bury something that big like the hole
you'd have to dig, would probably screw the beach.

Speaker 4 (02:20:59):
Yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 10 (02:21:00):
And then eventually that's going to just rot gas explode itself, right,
isn't that what happens to you?

Speaker 1 (02:21:06):
Yeah, well that's the thing. First of all, I didn't
learn a little bit. You know, devil's in the details.
I had no idea that seagulls were so sensitive and
their sense of smell. There, like the seagulls didn't like
the smell. Yeah, I've seen seagulls eat things that you know,
who knew.

Speaker 4 (02:21:21):
Yeah, I guarantee you that wasn't the problem.

Speaker 10 (02:21:23):
They scared every single seagull within a fifty mile radius
off with an explosion that blew up a whale.

Speaker 1 (02:21:29):
Because I think now, fifty five years later, they may
have more sophisticated methods of removal. But I think that
when this happens now, they let the whale rot. I
just got because you know, obviously they're they're like, well,
there's a coastal ecosystem and the people who live there,
it must really suck because the air smells like whale
for six months.

Speaker 4 (02:21:49):
But I think they have to do something about it.

Speaker 10 (02:21:52):
Like I think I'm pretty sure that as it decomposes,
like they have to like drill a hole in it
or something because it'll explode.

Speaker 1 (02:21:58):
You'll let the air up right. Uh, we're gonna ventilate it.
They gotta they gotta horse into the whales all the
latent gases you mean, right, Yeah, we gotta whales just
laying there, and we gotta go fart the whale.

Speaker 4 (02:22:12):
Hey, go jump on his back, got it? I get
up there on it.

Speaker 1 (02:22:18):
No, it's not gonna come out the blowhole. Don't you
know how these things were? Come on, don't you remember
what happened in nineteen seventy.

Speaker 9 (02:22:26):
Mm hm.

Speaker 4 (02:22:30):
Mitisp EXCUSI.

Speaker 1 (02:22:33):
And on this Rob down with the sweetness for tonight.

Speaker 4 (02:22:38):
I get it, s U.

Speaker 1 (02:22:39):
I like down with the sickness, Rob, but in a
sweet and not yes, in a sweet thank you. Yeah,
that's where Robb will be tonight, living the sweet life. Yeah,
the kid doesn't mean Yoko. Speaking of anniversaries, by the way,

(02:23:00):
you know, our buddy Mike sent me the information that
a couple of days ago it was the forty fifth
anniversary of the premiere of the show Too Close for
Comfort Monroe, the show from which we pulled up Monroe
ad nausea, mon, But I don't know how I missed.

(02:23:21):
You know, another generation has gotten their midst on The
Golden Girls, right, it's been memed to death and they
had a fortieth anniversary special on ABC the other night, Rob,
How did we miss this? How do we miss the
Golden I'm sure you can go and watch it now. Yeah,
it's posted it, but they did a primetime special. One

(02:23:44):
of my favorite memes is when they explained to you
the Golden Girls ages when they were on that show.
Because Estelle Getty was not chronologically the oldest person, they
put her in a gray wig. She played like be
Arthur's mom. But if you've ever seen the memes about like, hey, FYI,
the Golden Girls were like in their mid forties on
that show, or early fifties or whatever. Right, they were

(02:24:08):
the sex and the City girls of their time, but hotter.
I mean, Rue McClanahan would have been your Samantha. Yeah,
Betty White would have been your I mean, the Arthur
is going to be your Carrie. Probably.

Speaker 4 (02:24:25):
I'd seen ever seen sex in the City, so I
could not. Oh you haven't, but you've seen The Golden
Girls everyone numerous times.

Speaker 1 (02:24:32):
Yeah, I really liked, and I'll say it with a
staunch record of heterosexuality.

Speaker 4 (02:24:39):
I loved Sex in the City. Yeah, I could not,
Like it's a running joke.

Speaker 1 (02:24:42):
My wife and I went to see the movie when
it was out for my birthday one year, like fifteen
years ago or whatever it was.

Speaker 4 (02:24:49):
I loved that show.

Speaker 1 (02:24:50):
It was one of the first shows I remember in HBO,
you know, back in the day. It was they had
Dream on in the mid nineties, which nobody remembers, but
I loved it. They had Dream I made the Larry
Sanders Show, which still remains probably my favorite show of
all time. But then they had like OZ, you know,
pre Sopranos. Sure, OZ, uh, Sex and the City OZ

(02:25:11):
was just before the Sopranos, right, just yeah, it was
like yeah, And I would love to tell you that
a girlfriend or somebody like that dragged me into watching
Sex in the City, you know, back in the day.
That's how I got on Gray's Anatomy because my girlfriend
at the time loved that show. So I'm sitting there
watching Grey's Anatomy. And if you watch the show long enough,

(02:25:31):
you'll get invested in it. And so yes, Rob as
a younger man, I was watching Grey's Anatomy, but loved
Sex and the City anyway. The Golden Girls. Now, I
will say this even though it should be right in
my wheelhouse.

Speaker 4 (02:25:48):
You know, The Golden Girls.

Speaker 1 (02:25:50):
I was a kid then I've really I could count
on one hand the episodes I've seen. Really, Yeah, it
was an appointment telling I loved it, like I understood it.
Every time I saw it, I'd laugh my ass off.
But I just wasn't watching The Golden Girls. But I
watched it because of I mean, I lived with my grandparents.
Sixth grade to twelfth grade.

Speaker 10 (02:26:07):
I lived with my grandparents, so that's when that show
was on, and my grandparents loved that show. So of course,
by default I love that show.

Speaker 4 (02:26:16):
I've seen.

Speaker 1 (02:26:16):
I guarantee i've seen every episode. Now, I did greatly
enjoy the spin off. There's a quiz for you. Do
you remember the spinoff show?

Speaker 4 (02:26:29):
I don't now.

Speaker 1 (02:26:30):
I thought this was a very short lived show, but
it ended up running for seven seasons. I don't remember that,
but I loved the show that's spun off from The
Golden Girls. There's a trivia night question for you for
anybody who might know. Somebody will text me and tell.

Speaker 9 (02:26:46):
Me do you know what it is?

Speaker 4 (02:26:48):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:26:49):
Oh, it was a sitcom on NBC that spun ran
from nineteen eighty eight to nineteen ninety five, and it
was a spin off of The Golden Girls. Who will
text me and tell me?

Speaker 10 (02:26:59):
Wonder what was the storyline that gave you the spinof
because I probably could figure it out if it was.

Speaker 1 (02:27:06):
It did not involve any of the Golden Girls, Okay,
it wasn't a spin off with them of their kids.
Spin off from a character that had been a character
he did through through a character.

Speaker 4 (02:27:16):
She didn't say the things himself. It was a show
called Empty Nest.

Speaker 1 (02:27:20):
Really remember that, I do Richard Mulligan, who had been
on a show called Soap. I love this Richard Mulligan guy.
I just thought it was so goddamn funny. He was
just this character actor Soap and Empty Nest and you
know Empty Nests had been and he was like a
he's a pediatrician and it was kind of too close
for comforty And I wondered if that this was NBC's

(02:27:40):
answer to that, because it was his two adult daughters
come home and live.

Speaker 4 (02:27:43):
With them, Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:27:45):
And I just loved the show. I don't know why
now again, I thought it was very short lived. This
says that it was on seven seasons. I wonder what
was the critics hated it?

Speaker 4 (02:27:56):
By the Golden Girls.

Speaker 1 (02:27:59):
There had been and episode of the Golden Girls called
Empty Nests. Okay, I guess they had some characters in there,
and so technically it was spun off. The last two seasons.
They did put Estell Getty in there to kind of
give it some continuity, because remember they did the other

(02:28:20):
spin off of the Golden Girls called The Golden Palace.

Speaker 4 (02:28:24):
That might be the one that people remember. I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:28:27):
It was the other Golden Girls without be Arthur, because
she's like, I'm out. Don Cheatle is one of the
very first roles he had. Cheech Marine was in it.
So it was the other girls like they were running
a hotel or something. I don't know what it was,
because I think the end of The Golden Girls, be
Arthur gets married, which was her way of leaving the show.
They're like, we're done anyway, Empty Nest, and now everybody's

(02:28:51):
blown me up. Yes, Empty Nest.

Speaker 17 (02:28:53):
Alan.

Speaker 1 (02:28:54):
What about Arless on HBO? Everybody craps on Arless? And
I thought that show was so f funny I love
Robert wall I just it was a sports show that
I he played a sports agent. Yeah, it was scripted
Jerry maguire before I thought it was great. But everybody
craps on arles six feet under. Yeah, listen all those

(02:29:16):
kinds of shows, dynamite. I've got a bit of food
news here. One of our viureau chiefs in Grand Rapids,
Michigan sent me this. I'm not sure how long they'll
be in business, but okay, Grand Rapids, Michigan is home

(02:29:39):
to a late night dessert kitchen. Over the time since
I've lived in Southwest Michigan. You know, I started full
time in radio and Kalamazoo, Michigan, so we're about an hour.

Speaker 4 (02:29:49):
South of Grand Rapids.

Speaker 1 (02:29:50):
And back then, rob in the beginning days of my career, boy,
if you could get hired in Grand Rapids, that was
the dream, right. I'm working in Market one seventy five
in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids is like Market sixty seven.
But I didn't spend a lot of time there. But
it really has blown up over the past twenty five years.

(02:30:14):
And they've got a late night dessert kitchen called Slutty Buns.

Speaker 9 (02:30:18):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (02:30:19):
They make not safe for work? Cinnamon rolls Rob?

Speaker 6 (02:30:23):
What makes them not safe?

Speaker 4 (02:30:24):
The names?

Speaker 1 (02:30:25):
Oh, they've got one called nut me like nutmeg, but
with no G. There's another cinnamon role called good Girl,
double stuffed, Oh boy, one called cream pieds Easy. So
either this is a goof and this is never going

(02:30:47):
to happen, or it's kind of you know, I don't know.
Grand Rapids is still a very conservative community, maybe less
so than it used to be. But you have like
the van Andels and the you know, some very prominent
super Jesus see people. Gerald Ford's hometown, so they have
the gerald Ford Museum, blah blah.

Speaker 4 (02:31:04):
We have bureau chiefs in g R.

Speaker 1 (02:31:06):
But the the uh slutty Buns cinnamon roll late night
joint is going to be opening up very very soon,
if it hasn't already. By the way, a cinnamon role
called Cinna slut espress ho get it?

Speaker 4 (02:31:28):
That was my high school nickname.

Speaker 1 (02:31:32):
There's one called wop Rob also warm apple pastry. Yes,
I was not your Italian slur Rob.

Speaker 4 (02:31:45):
Do you know what that meant?

Speaker 1 (02:31:48):
I don't know. If it was an urban legend I
had heard him meant without papers?

Speaker 4 (02:31:51):
Is that true?

Speaker 1 (02:31:54):
Have all of those different explanations when they got off
Ellis Island. But why would they Why would Italians not
have papers? I don't know, but that was that was
what I've always heard.

Speaker 9 (02:32:03):
It meant.

Speaker 4 (02:32:04):
Maybe that's just a nicer way to make you feel
better about it.

Speaker 1 (02:32:07):
Yeah, So anyway, thank you to our bureau chieves and
grand Rapids said, maybe next time I'm in southwest Michigan.
I'm not there nearly as much as I was when
my kids were growing up. There these flutty buns, a
little bit of food news, same thing, fatly.

Speaker 6 (02:32:26):
Call the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 19 (02:32:28):
If you don't deserve anything, get deserved to get smacked
in the station kicked.

Speaker 5 (02:32:34):
In two seven eight one double oh seven or four
eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 4 (02:33:12):
There's no births in this song.

Speaker 1 (02:33:18):
Bryan says that that whole without papers thing is false.

Speaker 4 (02:33:22):
Okay, I don't know if it is or it isn't.
That was just what I heard that dead meant. He says.

Speaker 1 (02:33:26):
Wop comes from a Southern Italian dialect term wappo borrowed
from the Spanish, like three amigos.

Speaker 4 (02:33:33):
Wouldn't that be guappo? Would you say I have a
plethora of sweaters?

Speaker 9 (02:33:39):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:33:39):
Yes, you have a plethora.

Speaker 1 (02:33:42):
Guappo borrowed from Spanish meaning dandy or flashy. It was
pronounced wapo by some and evolved into the slur wop
for Italians. Why would calling somebody flashy be a slur?
There's a hell of a lot worse things you can call.
I mean, I'm sure dan in a lot of languages
was not considered like a compliment, but it certainly isn't

(02:34:06):
something that would they go, what did he call you?
He called me a fancy dandy? Maybe that was meant
to imply that they were a feminate, right, because if
you were a dandy, meant that you were concerned with
how you looked right, your dress and everything. Here's fancy

(02:34:28):
all that. Oh look at that guy, he's quite fancy.
Donald Fagan he was the dandy of Gamma Kai in
the song Hey nineteen. So if somebody called me a dandy,
a man excessively concerned with his appearance and grooming, well
that's I mean. I'm not excessively concerned with my appearance.

(02:34:52):
I am a big groomer.

Speaker 4 (02:34:53):
Let me rephrase that.

Speaker 1 (02:34:54):
Oh boy, oh boy, uh free, I am very much
into grooming myself. Rob Okay time on Fire two five
point fifty four, five fifty five. No, I'm not wearing
you know. I mean when you think of a dandy,
I think you're thinking of like a guy who's in

(02:35:16):
like bespoke suits and very well tailored and and I
would say to you, what the hell's the matter with that?
But again I think it implies some feminism there. You know,
they call you a fop. That's like a British slur,
too fab fop.

Speaker 4 (02:35:33):
Oh, it's not the same thing.

Speaker 1 (02:35:35):
We had a dandy time at the party, except for
that one guy who wouldn't stop fopping. He wouldn't fast
stop habbing, and he was trying to groom everyone the
entire time. Catch your hands off me, stop flopping? Yeah, okay, well,
thank you. I mean that's I always like to learn
about those things. And David Putty called Seinfeld a dandy. Yeah,

(02:35:58):
but didn't Putty have the fur coat or was it
at Seinfeld? There was a fur code involved, right, And
so I guess the implication was probably that like, oh,
if you're a guy and you're overly concerned about your appearance,
that makes you very womanly, very in That was the implication.
It's like that guy who calls me all the time, right,

(02:36:19):
isn't called in a minute? Maybe he got the message
that I didn't care for the cut of his jib.
But he was calling me all the time, trying to
cast dispersions.

Speaker 9 (02:36:28):
On me new homo sexual.

Speaker 10 (02:36:31):
That guy, that guy, you know who else I was
thinking of. When was the last time we heard from Walter?

Speaker 4 (02:36:39):
Walter?

Speaker 1 (02:36:40):
Oh, you know, he left us a lot of voicemails
from the hospital, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, and then
with all the medical stuff, like I worry that that
one maybe didn't end so well. Well, we're never gonna know,
are we. No, Uh no, I haven't gotten a voicemail
from Walter in quite some time. He was a guy
who really liked to hear himself talk. Last one that

(02:37:01):
I got from him was September the twenty ninth.

Speaker 4 (02:37:05):
That's been a minute, yeah.

Speaker 28 (02:37:11):
Mister Cox, mister Cox, I commend you my mind, burthen
for announcing the theft of your property such as celsius
another consumable.

Speaker 4 (02:37:25):
People had never heard Walter before.

Speaker 1 (02:37:26):
He would just call and he had like this very ill,
a lot of flourishes, right, it was like part preacher,
part ladies man.

Speaker 29 (02:37:32):
Uh Huh, those who would steal from you are the
product of ejaculation that should have been left upon the
atox or the thigh, perhaps the.

Speaker 9 (02:37:48):
Stomach of a war.

Speaker 29 (02:37:50):
And I commence upon those who would steal from you,
mister Cox, the extrements.

Speaker 9 (02:37:59):
And Asian variety. So now so they will.

Speaker 4 (02:38:04):
Then be just making it up.

Speaker 1 (02:38:07):
But well, I'll tell you what, he got more upset
at people stealing my celsius than I did. I never
told anyone that, uh, they should be covered with excrement
of the Avian variety or alien excrements, with the excrements
of the fevery, with Avian excrement.

Speaker 26 (02:38:33):
An excess, so all will bear witness to whom they
are products of spolitic hord.

Speaker 4 (02:38:45):
Sypholitic hord steal from you, I say.

Speaker 1 (02:38:51):
Remember, he'd always sign off Walter Williams, f you bye
bye bye, bye bye bye.

Speaker 9 (02:38:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:38:57):
The first handful of calls, he would act like we
didn't know it was him, like he was doing some
big reveal. At the end he would do this weird
he calls a country bumpkin. He'd be at the end
he be like it's maybe Walter Williams, Walter Williams bye bye.
I never saw that one coming. Yeah, Walter Williams, f
you bye bye. No, that's good. I hadn't thought about

(02:39:20):
him until you just mentioned him. And we haven't heard
from him in quite something in a while. Yeah, so
I can't believe I'm saying this, Walter, if you're alive,
let us know. Because he alluded to a lot of
health problems and then a couple I think that's why
he had all that free.

Speaker 4 (02:39:36):
Time, right, he was just probably in the hospital and
board just got an email from a guy named Francisco, the.

Speaker 10 (02:39:43):
Program director for program director. Listener, email from Francisco, can't
say wop on the radio? This is you listen half
acidly and then tell us we can't say these kind
of things. We were discussing the origin.

Speaker 4 (02:40:02):
Of that word.

Speaker 9 (02:40:03):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (02:40:03):
Yeah, well you said that you were called that in
high school because you're Italian.

Speaker 4 (02:40:07):
Yes, yeah, So what is it that I can't say?

Speaker 1 (02:40:11):
Well, listen, it's a slur and somebody might click in
and go no, but it's not being directed anybody.

Speaker 10 (02:40:16):
But again, I'm saying, was the origin the story that
we had all heard that it meant without papers. Someone
called and said, no, that's not or text and said, No,
that's not what that meant.

Speaker 4 (02:40:26):
People. It's a devotion to accuracy.

Speaker 1 (02:40:28):
Take a breath, home, boy, Well, he wants to put
us in our place, Rob, whatever that place might be.

Speaker 4 (02:40:36):
Wow, egg on my face.

Speaker 1 (02:40:41):
Have you ever heard of a basketball player? And the
Cavaliers are back home tonight for about the next ten
days or so. Rob's gonna be at the game. They're
in the suite, his wife's company, and the Toronto Raptors
are in town. Do you remember a basketball player? He
is an All Star with the Knicks named Michael Ray
Richardson said, name ring any bells? No, this would have
been a guy playing back in the day, Bill Cartwright.

Speaker 4 (02:41:02):
Earl Pearl. Weren't those guys in the Knicks?

Speaker 9 (02:41:04):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:41:04):
Way, before that they called Earl Earl Monroe. Black Jesus,
you want to talk about something he couldn't do now?

Speaker 4 (02:41:08):
Earl who.

Speaker 1 (02:41:10):
Earl the Pearl? No?

Speaker 4 (02:41:12):
What was his last name again?

Speaker 1 (02:41:13):
Oh? Earl Monroe, Earl the Pearl Monroe. Anyway, Michael Ray
Richardson was one of their teammates. He's dead at seventy,
but he has the dubious distinction of being the first
NBA player ever to be banned for life over drugs. Right,

(02:41:35):
imagine that's your asterisk. Now it's I don't do they
ban people over drugs? Now, banned for life? I mean,
now they'd be like, well, he needs help, We'll try
to get him help. Michael Ray Richardson died following a
battle with prostate cancer. He was living in Oklahoma. The
very first NBA player to get the lifetime ban for drugs.

(02:41:58):
I wonder who the first pfesasional athlete ever was to
get banned for drugs. They denoted that he was the
first guy in the NBA to be banned. But he listened.
They said, Oh, he lived life to the fullest. Well, yeah,
he was taking a lot of drugs. That's how you
live your life to the fullest. You take your body

(02:42:18):
to its absolute limit. There's a downside to that, obviously,
but you are doing that. At the end of the day.
You are living that kind of life. You're seeing what
the human condition can withstand, and not everybody is up
to that task. Michael Ray Richardson was known as Sugar,
and the Knicks drafted him fourth in the nineteen seventy

(02:42:40):
eight draft played for him for four years.

Speaker 4 (02:42:43):
He was an All Star. You know that's back when
they were wearing the short short trup.

Speaker 1 (02:42:49):
And then they included him in one of the most
famous trades in NICK history.

Speaker 4 (02:42:54):
They sent him.

Speaker 1 (02:42:57):
And a fifth round pick to the Warriors for Bernard King,
and then the Warriors dealt him to the Nets. They
got Sleepy Floyd out of the deal Sleepy Floyd and
so he kind of made a little bit of the rounds.
But he violated the NBA's drug policy three times and

(02:43:17):
got the lifetime ban. In nineteen eighty six, he was
addicted to Cookhayen, which, as I understand it is a
hell of a drug. His book was called band, How
I Squandered an All Star NBA career before finding My
Redemption clunky. But you know those books now, they all
got to have these big, long subtitles, so you know

(02:43:37):
exactly what's going on. Right, You can't just call it band.
They go, who the hell is this guy? Oh, he
tells me NBA All Star career, And you know, they
repealed his band. But he never got back into the NBA.
He's probably a little long in the tooth by then.
He said, my darkest day was when the guy from

(02:43:58):
the NBA met me at the air and told me
I was banned. They waited for me at the Newark Airport.
I went home and went on a few days binge.
I mean, that's what you do, right, if you're like, well,
screw it, I don't have to show up for work anymore.
And this is back when these guys weren't getting paid
thirty million dollars a year. I don't know what the

(02:44:21):
average NBA salary was in nineteen seventy eight, but it was.
I mean, Kareem Abdul Jabbar was the highest paid player
in the NBA in nineteen seventy eight. He was making
six hundred and fifty grand. Wow, that was massive money.
Back in the day, they're like, oh my god, Kareem

(02:44:43):
is making over half a million dollars a year. The
average salary in nineteen seventy eight was about one hundred
and thirty grand in the NBA. And of course Jordan
would be like the first guy to sign like one
of those eight figure deals. And now they toss them
around like tick tacks everybody tons of money.

Speaker 10 (02:45:03):
What's the league minimum in the NBA? No too, I
bet it's got to be over a million bucks, right,
NBA league minimum.

Speaker 4 (02:45:11):
One point one million dollars.

Speaker 9 (02:45:13):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (02:45:14):
How about that? So the guy making a college.

Speaker 1 (02:45:18):
Yeah, the league minimum for players with ten or more
years of service, you know, I mean, they're kind of
loading the deck against you. It's three million dollars. Three
point three million dollars. So if you last a decade
in the NBA, your minimum salary is three point three
million dollars.

Speaker 4 (02:45:33):
You could live on that.

Speaker 1 (02:45:33):
Yeah, of course, if you're smart. Somebody texted me our
ip Walter, hopefully in parentheses. Jesus, listen, I can't condone that. Now,
how's the matter with you? So?

Speaker 11 (02:45:56):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (02:45:57):
Ellen?

Speaker 4 (02:45:57):
I thought WAP was wet ass placenta. That's a that's wap,
w a P.

Speaker 1 (02:46:02):
Well, but the girls did call it wop, didn't they?
What sp They called it WAP and call it wap.
So if you take your cues from Cardi b and
or who's the other one, Nicki Minaj? Yes, okay, so

(02:46:23):
uh yeah, congratulations to everyone involved with their slurs. Rob
Via the text over a guy we don't even even
know if he's around.

Speaker 4 (02:46:33):
And I I just I had to.

Speaker 1 (02:46:35):
I had to reply to another email from our pal.
They're asking me for saying things I can't say on
the radio, right, and uh, he said, explain the Oh
oh he explain the N word next, and I said,
L O L sir. I believe that's been done numerous times.
Have a great night. Not only that, the fact that

(02:46:57):
and this is kind of a This is what always
gives you away is the illogic of equalizing every single
It's just not the same. They're they're just not not
even close. So was it a John mulaney joke. He's
like somebody made the joke, oh, where people were like, oh,
midget is as bad as the N word.

Speaker 4 (02:47:18):
He's like, no, it's not because you.

Speaker 1 (02:47:20):
Can say midget, right, Yes, you have to say the
N word and everybody knows what you're talking about. So
now listen, maybe that guy is an old Italian guy
has an opinion that even that's lame. That's the lamest
reason to get upset is because it makes you think
of yourself. Right, You only get upset because it might

(02:47:40):
affect you in your brain. It's a you problem, not
a me problem. Yeah, all of that stuff. Yeah, there's
there's just massive differences in certain words. It just there
just is just fact. Hey listen, maybe we're going about
it all wrong. Maybe we should be doubling down for
this guy's benefit, rob and.

Speaker 4 (02:47:59):
Never anything like that again.

Speaker 1 (02:48:01):
And what are you doing over?

Speaker 5 (02:48:03):
And they.

Speaker 3 (02:48:05):
Yeah, that's that.

Speaker 1 (02:48:06):
Hey, yeah, that's that's Uh. That is not gonna make
him happy? Perfect of course, he w are you doing
what you said?

Speaker 25 (02:48:13):
You said?

Speaker 1 (02:48:14):
Why don't you make me a pizza? I said earlier?
How much I love cold pasta.

Speaker 4 (02:48:19):
That's how all this started. Hey, how do you like
your mustache?

Speaker 1 (02:48:28):
What other silly stereotype?

Speaker 9 (02:48:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:48:32):
I love your red and white striped shirt.

Speaker 4 (02:48:35):
And that horn you hang from your rear view mirror.

Speaker 1 (02:48:37):
And what about the monkey that's chasing everyone? I still
have that hanging from my rear view mirror, sir?

Speaker 4 (02:48:44):
Do you have the little horn?

Speaker 9 (02:48:46):
I do.

Speaker 1 (02:48:46):
It's not a hanging from my rear view mirror, but
I do to get the maloic off. Of course, the
evil coming at you.

Speaker 4 (02:48:51):
I have it on my necklace. I have the I
don't have a horn. I have the the figer, the fist, oh, the.

Speaker 1 (02:48:57):
Face all right, the devil's grip, the iron fist. I
remember you let me singing about it. It's way different
than the beginner fist. I learned those two completely different things.
One looks like the statue of Liberty's hand. It sort
of just does the uh, the beginner fist. It takes
you a little bit longer to acclimate too as well, right,

(02:49:20):
I mean, yeah, you know you want to start with
the beginner fist. It's called that for a reason. That
Walter is fine. Somebody techs it he has just been
too busy with Alan's mom. No, no, you stinky stinky wop.
How dare you curl these kinds of accusations and stereotypes?

(02:49:47):
Apos on your house is all? Also, hey, we gotta.

Speaker 4 (02:49:51):
Go roun.

Speaker 1 (02:49:53):
And as always, I'll tell you what on a high note,
on a high note if anybody to say otherwise, Ellen,
wasn't yankee doodle dandy?

Speaker 9 (02:50:07):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:50:08):
Right, we don't hear from gay Lord very often either,
but I think that that's probably more due to the
fab He's just a busy dude.

Speaker 4 (02:50:16):
I never got that doodle thing that stuck a feather
in his cap and called it macaroni.

Speaker 1 (02:50:21):
Because macaroni was a slang term for something really that's
macaroni really cool? Oh yeah, like an old timey term
for something that was awesome. I just know that that's
what I call pasta. So that's what I always thought
that meant. Yeah, see, you learned something new every day.
He called it fet cheney.

Speaker 4 (02:50:37):
He stuck a feather in his cap.

Speaker 1 (02:50:39):
That a long time ago, like macaroni back then, meant
like that's cool. Hey, the BEA's knees, that's the bess.
That's that cat's ass, the cat's ass, that buttons the
cat's ass. Oh that might be my new favorite floating asterisk.
And the person cursing, the old timey guy cursing, old
time cursing. Yeah, uh, that's that cat. All right, listen,

(02:51:03):

There's no berths in this song.

Speaker 1 (02:54:51):
Ryan says that that whole without papers thing is false.

Speaker 4 (02:54:54):
Okay, I don't know if it is or it isn't.
That was just what I heard.

Speaker 1 (02:54:58):
That dead means he says walp from a Southern Italian
dialect term guappo borrowed from the Spanish, like three amigos.

Speaker 4 (02:55:06):
Wouldn't that be guappo? Would you say I have a
plethora of sweaters? Oh, yes, you have a plethora.

Speaker 1 (02:55:15):
Guappo borrowed from Spanish meaning dandy or flashy. It was
pronounced wapo by some and evolved into the slur wop
for Italians. Why would calling somebody flashy be a slur?
There's a hell of a lot worse.

Speaker 4 (02:55:29):
Things you can call.

Speaker 1 (02:55:30):
I mean, I I'm sure dandy in a lot of
languages was not considered like a compliment, But it certainly
isn't something that would They go, what did he call you?
He called me a fancy dandy. Maybe that was meant
to imply that they were effeminate, right, because if you

(02:55:52):
were a dandy, meant that you were concerned with how
you looked right, your dress and everything. Here's fancy that.
Oh look at that guy, he's quite fancy. Donald Fagan.
He was the dandy of Gamma Kai in the song
Hey nineteen. So if somebody called me a dandy, a

(02:56:15):
man excessively concerned with his appearance and grooming, well that's
I mean. I'm not excessively concerned with my appearance. I
am a big groomer.

Speaker 4 (02:56:26):
Let me rephrase that.

Speaker 1 (02:56:27):
Oh boy, oh boy, uh five fifty three. I am
very much into grooming myself. Rob okay, time not five
free part two five fifty four, five fifty five. No,
I'm not wearing you know.

Speaker 4 (02:56:43):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:56:45):
When you think of a dandy, I think you're thinking
of like a guy who's in like bespoke suits and
very well tailored and and I would say to you,
what the hell's the matter with that? But again I
think it implies some feminism there. You know, they call
you a fop. That's like a British slur too, the
fap fop.

Speaker 4 (02:57:05):
Oh, it's not the same thing.

Speaker 1 (02:57:08):
We had a dandy time at the party, except for
that one guy who wouldn't stop fopping. He wouldn't fast
stop fabbing, and he was trying to groom everyone on
me in time time. That's hands off me, stop flopping. Yeah, okay,
Well thank you. I mean, that's I always like to
learn about those things. And David Putty called Seinfeld a dandy. Yeah,

(02:57:31):
but didn't Putty have the fur coat or was that Seinfeld?
There was a fur coat involved, right, And so I
guess the implication was probably that like, oh, if you're
a guy and you're overly concerned about your appearance, that
makes you very womanly, very in That was the implication.
It's like that guy who calls me all the time, right,

(02:57:51):
he isn't called in a minute. Maybe he got the
message that I didn't care for the cut of his jib,
but he was calling me all the time, trying to
cast aspersions on.

Speaker 6 (02:58:01):
Me new homo sexual that.

Speaker 4 (02:58:04):
Guy, that guy? You know who else I was thinking of.
When was the last time we heard from Walter?

Speaker 1 (02:58:12):
Walter? Oh, you know, he left us a lot of
voicemails from the hospital, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, and
then with all the medical stuff, like I worry that
that one maybe didn't end so well.

Speaker 4 (02:58:24):
Well, we're never gonna know, are we.

Speaker 5 (02:58:25):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:58:27):
Uh no, I haven't gotten a voicemail from Walter in
quite some time. Yeah, he was a guy I really
liked to hear himself talk. Last one that I got
from him was September the twenty ninth.

Speaker 4 (02:58:38):
Yeah, that's been a minute, yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:58:44):
Mister Cox.

Speaker 28 (02:58:45):
Mister Cox, I commend you, my mind, Burthen for announcing
the theft of your property such a celsius, another consumable.

Speaker 1 (02:58:56):
Remember this, people had never heard Walter before. He just
call and he had like this, very a lot of flourishes.

Speaker 3 (02:59:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:59:03):
It was like part preacher, part ladies.

Speaker 9 (02:59:05):
Man. Uh huh.

Speaker 29 (02:59:08):
Those who would steal from you are the product of
ejaculation that should have been left upon the batons or
the thigh, perhaps.

Speaker 9 (02:59:21):
The stomach of war.

Speaker 29 (02:59:23):
And I commence upon those who would steal from you,
mister Cox, the excrement.

Speaker 9 (02:59:31):
O an Avian variety. So now so they.

Speaker 4 (02:59:36):
Will then be just making it up.

Speaker 1 (02:59:39):
But well, I'll tell you what, he got more upset
at people stealing my celsius than I did. I never
told anyone that they should be covered with excrement of
the Avian variety.

Speaker 4 (02:59:54):
Or alien excrements, with.

Speaker 9 (02:59:57):
The excrements of the with Avian excrements.

Speaker 26 (03:00:06):
An excess, so all will bear witness to whom they
are products of sypholytic.

Speaker 1 (03:00:17):
Hord, sympholytic horrordo steal from you. I say this. Remember
he'd always sign off Walter Williams, F you bye bye, bye,
bye bye bye. Yeah, the first handful of calls, he
would act like we didn't know it was him, like
he was doing some big reveal. At the end, he
would do this week he calls a country bumpkin. He'd

(03:00:39):
be at the end of be like that's meybe Walter Williams,
Walter Williams, Walms bye bye. I never saw that one coming. Yeah,
Walter Williams, F you bye bye. No, that's good. I
hadn't thought about him until you just mentioned him. And
we haven't heard from him in quite something in a while. Yeah,
So I can't believe I'm saying, Walter, if you're alive,

(03:01:03):
let us know, Because he alluded to a lot of
health problems and then a couple of I think that's
why he had all that free time, right, he was
just probably in the hospital. And board just got an
email from a guy named Francisco, the program director. Program director.

Speaker 10 (03:01:20):
Listener email from Francisco can't say WOP on the radio,
this is you listen half acidly and then tell us
we can't say these kind of things that we were
discussing the origin of that word.

Speaker 9 (03:01:35):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (03:01:36):
Yeah, well you said that you were called that in
high school because you're Italian.

Speaker 4 (03:01:40):
Yes, yeah, So what is it that I can't say?

Speaker 1 (03:01:43):
Well, listen, it's a slur and somebody might click in
and go no, but it's not being directed anybody. But again,
I'm saying, was the origin the story that we had
all heard that it meant without papers Someone called and said, no,
that's not or text and said, no, that's not what
that meant.

Speaker 4 (03:01:59):
People, devotion to accuracy. Take a breath.

Speaker 1 (03:02:01):
Home, boy, Well, he wants to put us in our place, Rob,
whatever that place might be.

Speaker 4 (03:02:09):
Wow, egg on my face.

Speaker 1 (03:02:14):
Have you ever heard of a basketball player? And the
Cavaliers are back home tonight for about the next ten
days or so. Rob's gonna be at the game. They're
in the suite his wife's company, and the Toronto Raptors
are in town. Do you remember a basketball player? He
is an All Star with the Knicks named Michael Ray.
Richardson said, name ring any bells, No, this would have
been a guy playing back in the day, Bill Cartwright,

(03:02:34):
Earl Pearl.

Speaker 4 (03:02:35):
Weren't those guys in the Knicks?

Speaker 13 (03:02:37):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:02:37):
Way before that, they called Earl Earl Monroe. Black Jesus,
you want to talk about something he couldn't do?

Speaker 4 (03:02:41):
Now, Earl who?

Speaker 1 (03:02:43):
Earl the Pearl?

Speaker 4 (03:02:44):
No, what was his last name again?

Speaker 6 (03:02:46):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:02:46):
Earl Monroe, Earl the Pearl Monroe. Anyway, Michael Ray Richardson
was one of their teammates. He's dead at seventy, but
he has the dubious distinction of being the first NBA
player ever to be banned for life over drugs. Right,

(03:03:08):
imagine that's your asterisk. Now it's I don't do they
ban people over drugs? Now, banned for life? I mean,
now they'd be like, well, he needs help, We'll try
to get him help. Michael Ray Richardson died following a
battle with prostate cancer. He was living in Oklahoma. The
very first NBA player to get the lifetime ban for drugs.

(03:03:31):
I wonder who the first professional athlete ever was to
get banned for drugs. They denoted that he was the
first guy in the NBA to be banned. But he listened.
They said, oh, he lived life to the fullest. Well, yeah,
he was taking a lot of drugs. That's how you
live your life to the fullest. You take your body

(03:03:51):
to its absolute limit. There's a downside to that, obviously,
but you are doing that.

Speaker 4 (03:03:56):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (03:03:58):
You are living that kind of life what the human
condition can withstand. And not everybody is up to that task.
Michael Ray Richardson was known as Sugar, and the Knicks
drafted him fourth in the nineteen seventy eight draft played
for him for four years. He was an All Star,

(03:04:18):
you know, that's back when they were wearing the short
short trup. And then they included him in one of
the most famous trades in Nick history.

Speaker 4 (03:04:27):
They sent him.

Speaker 1 (03:04:29):
And a fifth round pick to the Warriors for Bernard King,
and then the Warriors dealt him to the Nets. They
got Sleepy Floyd out of the deal Sleepy Floyd and
so he kind of made a little bit of the rounds.
But he violated the NBA's drug policy three times and

(03:04:50):
got the lifetime ban in nineteen eighty six. He was
addicted to cocayene, which, as I understand it is a
hell of a drug. His book it was called band
How I squandered an All Star NBA career before finding
my redemption clunky. But you know those books, now, they
all got to have these big, long subtitles so you

(03:05:10):
know exactly what's going on. Right, you can't just call
it banned. They go, who the hell is this guy? Oh,
he tells me NBA All Star career, and you know
he'd they repealed his band, but he never got back
into the NBA.

Speaker 4 (03:05:24):
He's probably a little long in the tooth by then.
He said.

Speaker 1 (03:05:29):
My darkest day was when the guy from the NBA
met me at the airport and told me I was banned.
They waited for me at the Newark airport. I went
home and went on a few days binge. I mean,
that's what you do, right, if you're like, well, screw it,
I don't have to show up for work anymore. And
this is back when these guys weren't getting paid thirty

(03:05:50):
million dollars a year. I don't know what the average
NBA salary was in nineteen seventy eight, but it was.
I mean, Kareem Abdul Jabbar was the highest paid player
in the NBA in nineteen seventy eight. He was making
six hundred and fifty grand. Wow, that was massive money.

(03:06:12):
Back in the day, They're like, oh my god, Kareem
is making over half a million dollars a year. The
average salary in nineteen seventy eight was about one hundred
and thirty grand in the NBA, and of course Jordan
would be like the first guy to sign like one
of those eight figure deals. And now they toss them

(03:06:33):
around like tic tacshes everybody tons of money. What's the
league minimum in the NBA? I bet it's got to
be over a million bucks, right, NBA league minimum one
point one million dollars.

Speaker 9 (03:06:45):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (03:06:46):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (03:06:47):
So the guy making a college million dollars?

Speaker 3 (03:06:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (03:06:51):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:06:53):
The league minimum for players with ten or more years
of service, you know, I mean, they're kind of loading
the deck against you. It's three million and out three
point three million dollars. So if you last a decade
in the NBA, your minimum salary is three point three
million dollars, you could live on that. Yeah, of course,
if you're smart. Somebody texted me ri Ip Walter, hopefully

(03:07:14):
in parentheses, Jesus, listen, I can't condone that.

Speaker 4 (03:07:21):
Now, how's the matter with you?

Speaker 9 (03:07:27):
Ahem?

Speaker 4 (03:07:29):
So, uh, Ellen? I thought WAP was wet ass placenta.
That's WAP.

Speaker 1 (03:07:33):
That's wap WAP. Well, but the girls did call it wop.
Didn't they wet sp They called it wop and call
it wap. So if you take your cues from Cardi
b and or uh, who's the other.

Speaker 4 (03:07:51):
One, Nicki Minaj?

Speaker 1 (03:07:52):
Yes, okay, so uh yeah, congratulations to everyone involved with
their slurs. Rob Via the text over a guy we
don't even even know if he's around, and I.

Speaker 4 (03:08:06):
I just I had to.

Speaker 1 (03:08:08):
I had to reply to another email from our pal.
They're asking me for saying things I can't say on
the radio, right, And he said, explain the Oh oh,
he explain the N word next? And I said, L
O L sir. I believe that's been done numerous times.
Have a great night. Not only that, the fact that

(03:08:30):
and this is kind of a this is what always
gives you away is the illogic of equalizing every single
it's just not the same.

Speaker 4 (03:08:38):
They're they're just not not even close. So was it
a John mulaney joke?

Speaker 1 (03:08:45):
He's like somebody made the joke there, oh, where people
were like, oh, midget is as bad as the N word.
He's like, no, it's not, because you can say midget right, yes,
you have to say the N word. And everybody knows
what you're talking about so now listen, maybe that guy
is an old Italian guys opinion that even that's lame.

(03:09:06):
That's the lamest reason to get upset is because it
makes you think of yourself. Right, You only get upset
because it might affect you in your brain. It's a
you problem, not a me problem. Yeah, all of that stuff. Yeah,
there's there's just massive differences in certain words. Just there
just is just fact. Hey listen, maybe we're going about

(03:09:27):
it all wrong. Maybe we should be doubling down for
this guy's benefit, rob and never say anything like that again,
what are you doing over?

Speaker 9 (03:09:38):
Yeah? That's that.

Speaker 1 (03:09:39):
Yeah, that's that's Uh.

Speaker 4 (03:09:41):
That is not going to make him happy, of course,
what are you doing? Why do you make me up?

Speaker 1 (03:09:49):
Pizza? I said earlier, how much I love cold pasta.
That's how all this started.

Speaker 4 (03:09:55):
Hey, how do you like your mustache?

Speaker 1 (03:10:01):
What other silly stereotype?

Speaker 9 (03:10:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:10:04):
I love your red and white striped shirt and that
horn you hang from your rear view mirror. And what
about the monkey that's chasing everyone?

Speaker 4 (03:10:12):
I still have that hanging from my rear view mirror. Sir,
do you have the little horn?

Speaker 9 (03:10:18):
I do?

Speaker 1 (03:10:19):
It's not a hanging from my rear view mirror. But
I do to get the maloic off. Of course, the
evil eye coming at you.

Speaker 4 (03:10:24):
I have it on my necklace. I have the I
don't have a horn. I have the the figa.

Speaker 1 (03:10:28):
The fist, oh, the fist, all right, the devil's grip,
the iron fist. I remember you let me singing about it.

Speaker 10 (03:10:37):
It's way different than the beginner fist. I learned those
two completely different things. One looks like the statue of
Liberty's hand. It sort of just does the uh, the
beginner fist.

Speaker 1 (03:10:48):
It takes you a little bit longer to acclimate too
as well, right, I mean, yeah, you know you want
to start with the beginner fist.

Speaker 4 (03:10:56):
It's called that for a reason. That's right.

Speaker 1 (03:11:01):
Walter is fine. Somebody techs it. He has just been
too busy with Alan's mom. No, no, you stinky stinky wop.
How dare you curl these kinds of accusations and stereotypes?
APO's on your house? Is all else? Say here, we

(03:11:24):
gotta go wrong, And as always I'll tell you what
on a high note. On a high note, I defy
anybody to say otherwise, Allen was it? Yankee doodle Dandy yes, right.
We don't hear from gay Lord very often either, but

(03:11:44):
I think that that's probably more due to the fact
he's just a busy dude.

Speaker 4 (03:11:48):
I never got that that stuck a feather in his
cap and called it macaroni.

Speaker 1 (03:11:53):
Because macaroni was a slang term for something really that's
macaroni really cool. Oh yeah, like an old time any
term for something that was awesome. I just know that
that's what I call pasta, So that's what I always
thought that meant. Yeah, see, you learned something new every day. Hey,
he called it fetching. He stuck a feather in his
cap long time ago, like macaroni back then meant like

(03:12:14):
that's cool way the bee's knees, that's the bess, the
cat's ass, the cat's ass that runs the cat's ass.
And now I must leave you as the Brady bunch
is on and I find four of those children incredibly arousing.

Speaker 6 (03:12:32):
Get out of here.

Speaker 7 (03:12:34):
Be careful of what you say, Be careful in every way,
Be careful of what you do.

Speaker 3 (03:12:44):
Big brother is watching you.

Speaker 7 (03:12:47):
Be circumspect and discreet, Stay light on your mental feet.

Speaker 3 (03:12:54):
One slip and you know who you're through. Big brother
is what you can ang with all narratives.

Speaker 8 (03:13:04):
Remember ovidience paid, and when you watch that Davy screens,
remember it works both ways. You'll disappear in a wink.

Speaker 7 (03:13:19):
Unless you can double think, you'll vanish into the blue.

Speaker 3 (03:13:26):
Big Brother is watching you.
