Okay, what's going on? Everybody? Good afternoon, Hi, greetings and
all that welcome. Welcome. My name is Alan Cox. Thanks
for being here. Say hi to Rob Anthony. What's up?

Speaker 7 (01:13):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
We're all set, we're already. How are you feeling today?
I am seventy five percent better? Okay, yeah, I'm on
the men, man, I am. I am just ready to
tackle the day. Rob was felled on Monday by a
violent attack of food poisoning, and yesterday you still don't
know what you ate, no, because none of it makes sense.

(01:35):
I mean, I didn't eat anything different than anybody else, right,
So I just I don't know, man, I don't know
what it was. It was a I mean it was
a loosely wrapped week old pastrami sandwich. Usually those keep
I found an egg salad sandwich at the backseat of
the car, and I'm like, ah, I couldn't have been
here that one. There's a post office box on the
corner by my house and somebody had placed a box

(01:57):
of kimchi on it. Normally you got to bury that,
but it's only two days of pants off scoots. It
wasn't a big deal, you know, it had just been exhumed.
I figured, hey, what's good for the goose? Pants off?
So you were Donald duck in at all around your
house pretty much? I kept I live with other people,

(02:20):
so I was courteous. I worse wet pants, but fortunately,
Well it's bittersweet because you know your daughter is at college.
But what that does kind of afford you is one
less human body in the house, right, one less person
for whom you have to know their whereabouts. Yeah, be
concerned that you're going to knock them over as you're

(02:41):
running to the bathroom. Yeah. One less person in the house. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
And I mean and listen during the day, you know,
because I get up early and I start working at
the house.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
So by seven o'clock, everybody's gone anyway. Yeah, you know
what I mean. So thankfully, the only time I really
had to contest with anybody else and they just stayed
out of my way. Really was it night.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
You know, like everybody gets home six seven o'clock by
the time six seven, by the time Calie's home from school.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I uh, then I had Then I had to be like, okay,
I'm gonna put myself in an area. Yeah, stay close, guys,
I need to sequester myself in here.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I stayed downstairs as like a bedroom office that's ended
up just I was like, you know, I'm just gonna
post up.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
In here and a fecal quarantine as it were. Yeah. Yeah,
all right, well good. If you want to join us today,
we would love to have you. Two one six five
seven eight one double oh seven, eight hundred and three
four eight one double oh seven, three five one nine two.
That's the number to text me Alancoxshow dot com for
all the other stuff. That's the best place to email me.

(03:42):
If you prefer to watch our show. My there's a
lively chat in our YouTube channel. You can go to
the Alancock Show YouTube channel and you can watch there.
And I know how much you liked doing impressions of
Pittsburgh accents. Have you been watching Task on HBO? Anybody
else watching Task? It just finished? I liked it. Not
much happened. It was Mark Ruffalo's a guy named Tom

(04:04):
Pelfrey who is a very accomplished actor married to Kaylee Quoco.
For people who remember her, I believe, but he's good
and stuff. But this is based outside Philly, so those
are more like they're very distinct, you know, Pennsylvania accents,
but it's more like wood. You know Philly. They say
wooter for water, you know, ice water, things like that.

(04:26):
So it's not so much Pittsburgh. But a task was
it was entertaining enough. Alan, you're talking about Kelsey Grammer
and his sister being murdered. She was murdered in Colorado Springs.
If you're familiar with homicide hunter Joe Kenda, her murder
was solved by him. That guy had a show, right,
wasn't that this guy Joe Kenda? There was a show

(04:47):
on one of those cable channels that runs a solid
diet of true crime called Homicide Hunter. If this is
the guy that he's talking about, and they would just
have this guy in a chair and they cut b
rolled with him and interstitials and he would just kind
of talk about these cases that he did. But I
like that the guy. I was transfixed by this guy

(05:09):
because he's your classic scene it all grizzled veteran of
the police force, did these hang dog eyes right. I
don't know what kind of sense of humor this guy
had in real life, but obviously he was playing it
up for this show. He was a very very somber

(05:30):
and sullen. But this is a guy who was well known.
You know, they talk about the closure rate for cops,
you know, the percentage of cases that you've closed. And
I don't know what a good closure rate is, but
this guy had a great closure rate. He had ninety
two percent. And he's from Pennsylvania too. No, I knew
nothing of that. I know Kelsey Grammer's multiple family members murdered,

(05:51):
and was Kelsey Grammer the one like somebody's some celebrities
relative got killed by Woody Harrelson's dad. You know, Woody
Harrelson's dad was in prison because he was like a
serial killer or something. Yep, wasn't there. I misremembering this.
I thought there was another celebrity who's like sibling or
somebody had been They found out later on had been

(06:12):
killed by Woody Harrelson's dad, And I'm like, boy, that
would be if the two if that's true, if the
two of you got cast. You know, Woody Harrelson maybe
not at the top of his game, but still considered
to be, you know, a great actor. I love him
from humble beginnings, right Woody on Cheers and you know
True Detective more recently and White Man Can't Jump. I mean,

(06:34):
you start with those comedies, but you know, you get
into The People versus Larry Flint where he played one
of the people, and I think he also played Larry Flint,
didn't he Yes, oh right, he wasn't against himself. No, no, no,
Joe Kenda is still alive, by the way, seventy eight
years old. But yeah, I don't know if I'm misremembering that,

(06:55):
but I thought that there was a celebrity who had
someone in their family that they found it later on.
You know that show Finding Your Roots, This guy, Henry
Lewis Gates will get in order to get people to
watch this otherwise dry as balls subject matter. They get
famous people and then they trace their roots and it
would be like a version of that except you find out, oh,
another famous guy's dad killed my sibling or something. But

(07:22):
I don't know there is by the way, you asked
me this before we went on the air, if the
internet was slow. Another Amazon Web Services outage today that
I don't know if they've started to get it back
online again. I didn't really notice anything in here. As
I was doing my work this morning. I just happened
to come across another huge cloud crash, and I guess

(07:43):
we'd better get used of these, because we're really consolidating
all of this computing power within a handful of companies.
So Amazon Web Services huge huge company Azure, which is
Microsoft's biggest cloud service provider. Both of those went down concurrently.
So you got companies that are offline. You know, maybe
you went to Costco this morning You're like, oh my god,

(08:06):
here I am with a cart full of industrial barrels
full of pickles and barbecue. One of the little smokies. Yeah,
I've got an industrial tub of little smokies and their
machines are down.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
What could possibly go wrong when you take all of
your on site servers and you put them on something
called a cloud, magical place where you don't have to
worry about anything on site anymore. What's the worst that
could happen?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Oh, Fi, Xbox was down Starb's. If you went through
this morning like I did, try to just get myself
a brown sugar oat milk cortato rob, I don't ask
for much down all that stuff. Microsoft three sixty five
now again, I don't know if these things are up
as of now, but they were down this morning. A
lot of people in the United States, a lot of

(08:59):
people around them world having to contend with this. I
was merely happy that my child was in school because
it also meant that Minecraft was down. And if that
was down and she was at home for the day
trying to play Minecraft with her friends, that would have
been a sticky wicket. So I don't know if that's
been up. But in answer to your question about the

(09:21):
whatever thing we've got over there crawling around that. I
think what was going on?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, I just I don't know, man, I don't understand
how they can't figure this stuff out, Like there's never
going to be enough redundancies to keep this from happening. Ever,
everything's in the cloud, everything's in the air, everything's.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Just put it back on site. Like everything here breaks,
it takes. Yeah. Oh yeah, Matt emailed me Ellen. I'm
north just north of Nashville, day two of a three
day work trip. I just had an ambulance past me
labeled Monroe County, so instinctively I did what was necessary,

(10:04):
even on the road. Monroe, Monroe. As the ambulance goes by, Cally,
I hope they're okay.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Jacky, Sarah, Monroe Monroe. The Allen Cox Show on one
hundred point.

Speaker 2 (10:22):

that regulates good decision making.

Alan Cox Show.

It says nope. What do they say, trick or treat station?

Speaker 7 (14:09):
Like that?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, that like the printed out signs on
the door. Yeah, well that's so they know where people
have candy where they don't because you're not obligated treats. Yeah, here,
we should put a sign on our all tricks, no
treats here. Don't knock you little bastard. We should have
the thing where you open the door and the giant
rubber mallet swings down and hits you in the face

(14:30):
like a jackass type thing.

Speaker 10 (14:31):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Giant boxing glove. Now, we're not trying to do any
physical damage. Alan, I think that there's something going around
pursue it to Rob's condition. Yesterday A, I made diarrhea
in excess of my body mass. Maybe there is. Do
you have to make I sure? Do I have to

(14:54):
make diary?

Speaker 9 (15:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:04):
A DIARYA.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (15:08):
I hate a breakfast burrita and now I got diarrhea.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I hate a break burta Diara Diara. Okay, I could
have done without the end of that song. You know,
he's got to get it out. He's got a purge,
and that's okay. I understand whenever it trips your trigger. Homeboy.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, I don't know, man, I still don't know what
it was. Caitlin was perfectly fine, nobody else in the house,
just me. Two full days. Man, that first day.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
I don't want to jinx it. But I was thinking
the other day, it has been a long time since
I've been ill. It's been a long time since I've
had a cold. Since I've been I'll have bubble gut
every now and then, but I don't consider that that's
just the normal cost of doing business, right. This was
just different, Like I haven't with you. I haven't had
a hold, no way around food poisoning boy. And again

(16:04):
I'm guessing that that's what it is. It could have
just been I mean, I don't know, some stomach bug,
twenty four hour thing. I don't know, but I didn't.
It wasn't like I was puking, you know, it was
just just the scoots. M I have a bad case
of diarrhea. I have a bad case of dianea.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
I have a bout of diarya I have about Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I mean, it doesn't make those girls any less hot.
I'll tell you what. I There is every possibility that
I did peak this morning, but I was My first
thought was, it's only a little bit after eight o'clock.
I was on the road coming to work, and I
was concerned that I had already peaked because two girls

(16:48):
in traffic behind me were screaming at each other through
their windows, and I was like, this is perfect. Whatever
they're doing on ninety East in the morning, it's you're
crawling now coming from Baya. It's where I am. It
takes me like forty minutes to get to work. Anyway.
One of the the far right lane is you got
to merge because it's traffic barrels or whatever, and some

(17:09):
girls not paying attention. So there's a woman right behind
me who has her phone up on her dashboard, so
she's driving and clearly facetiming with someone. So I'm kind
of seeing this in my rear view, and the woman
next to her just cut her off because I guess
she didn't she didn't plan quickly enough or whatever, and
so just cuts her off and gets in front of her,
and this woman honks, and then she's she's, you know,

(17:31):
doubly pissed because she's been cut off and it's interrupting
what is clearly a FaceTime that's going on on her dashboard.
And so when she finally gets up alongside the woman,
she gives her the skunk guy. You know how people
do that, Like they get right up on you and
then they want to give you the skunk guy, like
that's gonna do something. They look at you and then

(17:52):
they'll like maybe silently gesticulate.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
They pay attention, you know, oh day, I'm driving over here. Yeah,
one of those and the other girl kind of gave
her a look. And these are both young girls. The
girl behind me, I mean, they probably looked like maybe
early thirties, and and the one she's making it, she's
mouthing stuff to her, and so then I of course

(18:16):
rolled down my passenger window because I want to hear
what the hell is going on and the other guy
they roll down there screaming at each other. I'm like, Oh,
it's getting good.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I have to wonder what would have happened had the
girl not been in the middle of the FaceTime, because
I imagine she wanted to get back to that. But
I was like, ooh, this is good because we're not
going We're going like ten miles an hour, right, We're
just crawling through traffic, and I'm watching this in my
rear view.

Speaker 8 (18:41):
I'm like, ooh, this is gonna get good.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
They're gonna get out getting each other's face accidentally kiss.
I mean, I wouldn't have minded that. That's what I
would have probably, again, I didn't think that it was
gonna These two did not look like they were gonna
devolve into gunfire or anything like that. But yeah, yelling
at each other like this.

Speaker 8 (18:57):
Is great.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Because it's you know, there's not much going on. I
can usually get to. I forget how it's when there's
actual traffic, I forget how soft Cleveland has made me
traffic wise. Right when I go home, I'm used to it. Right,
rush hour starts at noon, you know, it takes you
two and a half hours to get anywhere. But when
you're sitting in traffic, which I'm normally not that early

(19:19):
in the morning, you forget. So I needed some entertainment. Well, listen, people,
people can't figure out what they want. People are always
complaining how bad the roads are. But then when there's
construction to fit the roads, everybody's screaming and crying or whatever.
So you gotta, you know, you gotta take the rough
with the smooth. But it was I was happy that
that happened. I would have, in all honestly liked for

(19:42):
it to have gone on a little longer, but it didn't. Allen,
didn't you also almost pass out in the air of
the cold mets?

Speaker 7 (19:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well that was yeah, that was last fall though. That
was Remember I I guzzled an entire bottle of costs here.
Why do yeah? I definitely yeah. I'm not sure you do,
but I definitely yeah. And I laid here on that
we had to we I think we bailed early. We
did show, yeah, and I uh, some people were very
upset with me for that, and uh, I lie here

(20:13):
on the floor for a good ninety minutes after the
show ended. I did my dude, cause I was like,
I cannot drive home in this condition. I stuck around
for like forty five seconds, and I was like, hey,
you sure you want me to take you home? You
said yeah. I'm like you sure? You said yeah. I'm like,
I'm going to stay here until right now. Make sure
you're okay. Rob's got a life to lead. I don't

(20:34):
need anybody mother henning me. I didn't need some Florence
Nightingale situation. I did it to myself. Well, no, I
caught I that's what I met. Actually, you know, obviously
I'm joking, but I got that right away. It was
like you were you did not want You wanted to
be in your zone, doing what you needed to do,
and be left alone. Yes, left alone, And that's exactly
what I did alan Rob. About a month ago, I

(20:56):
had a random sickness and I was shrimping my pants
and throwing out hot and cold and sweaty and chills
for three days. I have no idea how it happened,
or what made it happen. Maybe it was food or exhaustion,
but it was the first time in years that I've
been that sick. Maybe Rob, maybe we are all being
used for some giant environmental experiment. Maybe there's something in

(21:22):
the you know how our food and water are already toxic.
Maybe there's something in the air. Maybe this is a
slow moving pandemic. Maybe the next phase is that will
crap ourselves to death. Well, I mean, thankfully I had

(21:43):
no accidents and I wasn't puking because the nause is
I mean, I think if you got to pick you know,
if you have to have the squirts for a month,
or like puke for a month, what would you rather?
Obviously you take the trots right rather. Yeah, I don't
like I get if I get sick once, I'm gonna

(22:04):
get sick numerous times because I get grossed out by it.
I hate puke. Well, it's not even that for me.
Mine is more strategic. It just messes with my throat
and then it makes hard for me to talk, which
is what I do for a living. So I would
rather have to sit. I would rather always, rather come
out the basement than the attic. Yeah, but I don't
mind puking. I never have. Oh I hate it. It
doesn't happen often so much. I don't mind at all.

(22:26):
I'm very pragmatic about it. Like if I'm hammered or something,
I'll put my whole arm down my throat.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Well hitting the reset button. That's different. I mean, it's
that's that's short term annoyance for long term.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
So you see mean like yeah, you mean like involuntarily
with no end in sight, right, if you did make
yourself puke. I just mean if if I'm going to
be like sick from being stomach sick, if I get
sick sick, or my kid's puke, it's over. Like I
can't even dogs, Like if the dog's puke, I'm like,

(23:04):
oh god. It's one of my favorite stories of all
time is when my ex wife was like in junior
high and she got really, really sick, and she and
her sister were sleeping in bunk beds and she's like,
I'm on the top bunk, my sister's on the bottom bunk.
She goes, my sister throws up. I see this. I
get sick, but I'm on the top bunk. So it's

(23:24):
against the wall and now it's going down the wall
and my mom comes into help. Except my mom has
the same exact reaction. So my sister's on the bottom
bunk vomiting. I'm on the top bunk vomiting. My mom
comes into help, she starts vomiting, Like my dad just
walks in, looks in there, shakes his head and just
walks in the other direction. I was like, oh, that's good.
Just the visual of that. Caitlyn like a friggin Faulty

(23:46):
Towers sketcher.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
My oldest was the one that was notorious for like
she knew where she had to go, but the second
before she got there, she's like, ah, this is good enough.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
Yeah right.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
It was always she would be too steps from the canon,
just over the bathroom every single time, and I would
just be like, alas, want to let you know, kid puked?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Well, and when when they're little kids, the vomiting like
scares them. They don't know what's going on, right, Yeah, yeah,
I mean nobody likes it. You know, I can't. So
you have that like vaso vagel response or whatever it
is that that's more like passing out and stuff, but
weak weak stomach. Yeah, you have you have a very

(24:29):
visceral reaction to somebody vomiting. Yep, it doesn't bother me.
I just have a very weak stomach when it comes
to if I smell puke, Yeah I could, I could puke.
It doesn't bother me. Now. Of course, you know how
they say that if you give your little kids peanuts regularly,
that is how you avoid peanut allergies, right, And so
that's what I did growing up, is if I ever
saw somebody vomit, I would go over. I'd dip my

(24:49):
pinky in it, put it on my toe, and that
kind of inured me rob to further down the road.
It just didn't bother me, did not bother me at all.
Even that right there, got the you got that tastes
like pennies in the back of your throat all of
a sudden, gross, Yeah, dip your finger. No, my pinky.
I put my pinky in there, and then I, yes, sir, no,

(25:11):
I got you the first time. I just to make sure.
And I had as a kid, I had a little
side hustle too. I was kind of like a I
wouldn't say I rose to the level of like a
wunder kind or anything like that, but It was a
nice little parlor trick to do that and then tell
people what they ate. Oh good, it was fun too. Yeah, yes,
you can catch it before it hit the stomach bile. Yeah,

(25:32):
they go, oh my god, I did have veener schnitzel
for lunch. You just had spaghettios with hamburgers, little little
meat balls. Good job, and then grilled cheese with Colby
Jack tomato soup. Did I use butter or mayonnaise? Boat?

Speaker 4 (25:51):
You got it?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
But you can like the message. I see thee if
that's true. And you must know my mother's maiden name?

Speaker 4 (26:04):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
That's it? Yeah, that's right. He didn't know what she had.
How about those friggin' Blue Jays, dude, how about those
Toronto Blue Jays? You take the world series back home
to Toronto? Yeah, it's holy cow in a series. This
is a great world series, excellent world series. They broke
Shane Bieber, former Cleveland Guardian, breaks shoey Otani's streak. He

(26:29):
got on base fourteen consecutive times before striking out with
Shane Bieber.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
There on a two two for just strike him out.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
I mean call to comfort. That showy Otani is unbelievable. Really,
I mean yeah, yeah, you think about what it would
be without him. Yeah, I mean, there's the team is
still great without him, but my god, her, there's he's
just it's just incredible to watch Blue Jays score four
runs in the seventh inning. They went six y one
over the Dodgers. Now, is it tomorrow or not be
happier the next game? It's I think it's Friday night. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(27:08):
because they got the travel day and then there's a
day in between, so it's no, I'm sorry, it's tonight tonight, Yeah,
game five, eight o'clock tonight. No, no, no, wait, what
am I looking at here? That's not right? That can't
be right, is it? Yeah? It is tonight eight o'clock.
I thought the travel the travel was now, but I
thought they were in LA for one and that's right.
Oh yeah, I was thinking they were going back to

(27:29):
Toronto tonight. They go they go back to Toronto on Friday. Yep,
so they're still in LA. That's where I got screwed.
It gotcha? Okay, Well, anyway, I couldn't be happier. They're
still in it. A lot of fun. Now, there was
you know, another one of these announcers. I don't think
this is a big deal, but apparently somebody in the

(27:50):
booth told him they thought that the announcer thought that
he dipped into like an Asian impression. Yeah, which I
don't think this is what was happening. I don't know
this aired on either, do you. This was on Fox.
I thought was it? I thought, be very better careful.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Well, folks, shoe Oltani is coming to plate, and it's
been brought to my attention, and I surely apologized if
I offended anybody, especially anybody in the Asian community, for
what I said about pitching and being careful.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I think these older dudes still have what was Garrett
Morris's character on Saturday Night Live, Betty Betty good to Me?
He played. I forget what the character's name was, but
he was like some Venezuelan baseball player. I think these
older guys still have that in their head, and they
they go to the they're thinking Betty Betty good to me,

(28:50):
the comments are great, soft ass generation we're living in.
I'm Asian and I thought it was hilarious. Yeah, So
I'm I'm curious who told him, hey, better term or.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Even it sounds like now that I hear it again,
like it doesn't it almost sound like it was a
small market broadcaster, Like it doesn't have that same.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Vibe. Oh, I don't know. I don't know because I
was shoe atonic. You better better killful. You know what
I think is it does kind of sound like it,
but that just might be. You know what I think
it is a suggestion. What's that? Who was the announcer?
Was that Jack Morris? I think?

Speaker 7 (29:31):
So?

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Okay, so that's old, that's what that is. I didn't
even realize that because I sent that to you. Yeah,
that's from four years ago. It is, Yes, he so
that wasn't from the game last night. Oh he got
suspended in twenty twenty one because he did that. And
they were like, what did he do? And they said, oh,
got Tom and they were like, oh he was doing

(29:52):
a bit. Yeah okay, yeah, but I didn't realize. Well,
and then they cut to the girl over at the
sideline girl over on ESPN, and she's going for the
whole line up some ting Wong Lee too low holy
and bang dang ou.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Do you never have to worry about Pam Oliver pulling
that crap? Yeah? So that was so that was That
was a Detroit Tigers game back in twenty twenty one,
Jack Morris.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
So that's why it's just making the rounds again. Okay,
that's I mean, it's still funny.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, I mean he's no what's his name, Tom Brunneman,
which one was his? Remember when he called Kansas City
the oh yeah, yeah yeah, capital of the You know,

Carr Show on one hundred point seven, it's called the
Alan Cock Show.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
And this is when the Antichrist is going to reveal himself.
He lives among the beasts and heats grass.

Speaker 7 (31:19):
Two one six, five seven eight one double oh seven
or one eight three eighty one double o seven.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Hey, everybody listen what I say. You better give a
pissit in your head. Is that a game that you're
wan out of play because a lot of people end
up dead.

Speaker 7 (31:38):
There's a not a lot of people really get on
kicks when the brother something to that ground.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
We stumbled onto the McGruff the Crime Dawn cassette from
nineteen eighty six some time ago. Each song was about
a different crime. This one was called Arson and it's ridiculous,
utterly ridiculous. They'll die in their prime is really insane.
Person's really insane. Takes a dangerous Every time I think

(32:09):
I'm done listening to it, I can't stop listening to
it because it gets more and more crazy, and it
gets you in jail. It gets you in jail. Yep,
all true. Wrong that's the name of this song. I mean,

(32:30):
the song is not called Arson is wrong. It's called
Arson but you know, yeah, oh I'm done. No, I'm
not done yet. I don't want to hear it. You,
fellows is going out slip because I'm telling you as
a joke. I mean, it's overwritten. I would love to
see some behind the scenes, some BTS footage of the
guys playing the music for the McGruff Crime Dog songs.

(32:53):
It's a terrible crime I was reading about a woman
out there in New Jersey. One of our Jersey Bureau
chiefs got me to the story of the woman who
burned a guy's house down because he blew her off
after a booty call. Booty call arson attack, which is
a great name for like a jam band or something,
you know, if you're in a garage. I don't know

(33:13):
if people do this anymore. I don't know if people
play bands. You know, they form bands and play in
their garage. I think most people are probably dicking around
with garage band these days. But you know, booty call
arson attack might be something. Torched a guy's home around
four am after he fell asleep, so he called her

(33:34):
to come on over Ty Russell. She's thirty five aggravated arson,
which is a second degree felony. They're recommending eight years
in prison for her. And she was this dude's side piece,
and so they talked to the guy. He got out

(33:56):
the Woodbury home of Curtis Stokes. He invited the woman
to his place to have sexual intercourse. This is all
part of the police report out of that she was
a side chick. It's got it's worth side peace commit well,

(34:21):
I mean there's got to be we We've got all
kinds of terminology to make every other mundane thing sound important.
But somehow we haven't graduated past side chick. You know,
how about alternate paramore? What's the matter with that side chick?
It's so dismissive, you know. Sure, some people have side chicks,
other people have h you know, I don't know. Maybe

(34:44):
she wasn't his only one. So it was in the
middle of the night, in the wee hours of the night.
And I love the description of the booty call. She
texted him hello, to which he romantically responded, bring your ass. Yes,

(35:08):
I love that. Oh she is a side chick, isn't she.
That's not an alternate paramore? Right there? You're like, hey,
what are you up to? Nothing? What are you doing?
I was thinking about you? Oh well, what's with kids
in bed? What's up? This thing ain't gonna finish itself off?
What's up? I mean, it will, but I'd rather have you,
you know. She goes hello, and he gets the tax

(35:30):
and he writes, bring y ass. By the time she
showed up, though, and this is the danger in these
types of situations, he had fallen asleep, you know, he's horny,
but he's sleepy. Yeah, she texted him. He in text her.
She texted him, hey, Hello, Oh that's all it takes. Hello,

(35:50):
bring your ass. Well, yeah, because it's well established what
she is. A side chick. Yeah, yeah, she's never going
to graduate into frime. Well, you can't make a hoe
a housewife, that's right. I mean again, that's a misnomer too.
You can you can't absolutely make a hoe. You can't

(36:11):
spell housewife without hope, right, that's just you's wife, which
a lot of people do. By the time she got
to his house, he had fallen asleep and did not
respond to her at the door, didn't respond to her
repeated texts. So she gets there. She's trying to wake

(36:32):
this dude up. She doesn't know if he split. I
guess she probably saw his car and she sent a
text to him again complaining you wasted my money to
come out here.

Speaker 8 (36:42):
Did she uper to the place?

Speaker 2 (36:44):
I don't know, And then she texted a series of threats,
you smoked, I see you want to die, and I
swear to God, I hope you die. Guys, you gotta.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Imagine the guy was just like taking a crap, but
he came out and got all these texts. He's Jesus,
I'm gonna answer the door now. This bitch just wished
she got dead. Yeah, I hope you die. I was
just in the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
God, this give me a second. Cow lady, Scott, come
excuse me, but I had chick fil agg dealing with
my situation. Poor guy's got the scoots. Now he's got
a woman wanting to kill him for it. She then
went to a nearby gas station and bought lighter, fluid,

(37:28):
matches and a lighter. Why would you buy matches and
a lighter in case the lighter doesn't work. I'm a backup,
well tested. She then returned to his home and set
fire outside.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
He was in a rear apartment, and she set fire
to the one point of egress. He's got one door,
no back door. He woke up. Uh, my back door
is on fire, sir, that's not really for No. No,
I met in the bathroom. Don't burn my house. Ut

(38:02):
me out as soon as I can. My back door
is literally on fire, Officer, my side chick has set
my back door on fire. That's something you're gonna get
hung up on with the quickness. No, no, no, officer.
You're not understanding me. My back door is in flames. Wait,
so you're okay, you're gonna want to call poison control officer.

(38:26):
It's on fire. Yeah, I got that far waygo. Yeah,
it's not me, it's it's the actual door of the
physical fire is on fire.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
I see. Okay.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
He woke up to the smell of smoke and so
he was unable to leave. He suffered first and second
degree burns. He had to pull a window frame out
to escape. He was only wearing a T shirt. So
this guy's burned. He's Donald duck in it well, probably
because he was San's pants. He was probably cranking it

(39:00):
for her to get there, and he fell asleep waiting
it happens. Fluffing. He fell asleep, Yeah, sleepy fluff Yeah.
He ran to the nearby police headquarters to report the fire,
and he was later treated at a local hospital. The
criminal case, they can't figure out how it has dragged
on for six years. This didn't just happen, It's dragged

(39:24):
on for six years since then. She has given birth
to another child. Yeah, and so they're trying to put
her in jail or something. But wow, this guy must
have that good good. I was gonna say, or she's
just dare I say it, Kookie. It's just fantastic in
the Weienering department. I just love the succinct exchange between

(39:49):
the two of them. It's almost like a grinder conversation.
You know, there's no pretense, no nothing. Bring your ass,
she texted, hello. He responded, bring your ass. I mean,
I guess you do have your shorthand as well, d
y A if you're in that situation. Yeah, so there's

(40:10):
some booty news for you for the call, Alan, Chico
Chico Esquala? Right, thank you? That was Garrett Morris's baseball
Ben Betty Betty good to me back in the day,
like on SNL the early days of Saturday Night Live,
you played Chico Aesquala. Thank you better very much, base

(40:35):
ball be many Betty good to me.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
Now you hand Pete de Ross baseball.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Ben Betty good to Pete Ross paying two million remember
when that was a big deal. Oh my god, they're
paying Pete Rose three point two million dollars. Yeah, and
now shoheyo, Tani's like, hold my beer. I mean they're

(41:09):
so far in the stratosphere. Yeah, Alan, you have been
successful in triggering my immense in metaphobia. You know what
a metaphobia is. No, that's that reaction when you think
of or here's someone vomit, or it's your visceral response
to that, the fear of vomit. This person refers to

(41:29):
it as a mental illness around vomit. I now have
to go and do twenty five different rituals to negate
the words and sounds I just heard on your show.
Thanks so much. How about that you want to do
a replay for him so he has to do it again.
I hope that out of those twenty five rituals you
have to do, at least seven of them are satanic

(41:52):
in nature. We could redo is we did just for
everyone that missed it. Then he has to do all
twenty five again, and it would be helpful. I'm sure,
not at all a hindrance of place. I don't know
about that, but I mean, you know, well, I mean,
you know it would throw you into disarray though again too,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 7 (42:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:12):
I mean obviously I don't have it like that. I mean,
I don't like it in the sights and sounds of it.
I hate, but I'm not I'm not like that it's
not causing peril further down the road. It just didn't
bother me, did not bother me at all. That right there,
you got. It's like pennies in the back of your

(42:34):
throat all of a sudden, gross. Yeah, dip your finger,
now my pinky. I put my pinky in there, and
then I no, I got you the first time. Well listen,
I would dip my actual someone else's vomit replay. Oh hey,
guess what I always This really isn't going to mean
much to people locally, but we do have a lot

(42:55):
of bureau cheese in the greater Philadelphia area, and anytime
one of our brothers or sisters in broadcasting goes away,
I like to pay homage to them. And someone who
has been on the air in Philadelphia has passed away.
Pierrerobert has been at WMMR there in Philadelphia for forty

(43:17):
plus years. They found him dead in his home yesterday.
This is a guy who defied all logic. He was
a DJ. His guy not doing a talk show. The
DJ a WMMR in Philadelphia, which is a legendary rock
station there. It is quite literally similar to it like
back in the day. The history of WMMR and WMMS

(43:40):
were like literally intertwined. I think I think that there's
a reason for the call letters being so similar, right,
I think so this companies that owned the two radio
stations way back in the day were talking about putting
similar formats on both and they just changed one of
the letters and the call letters. Anyway, WMMR, for people
who are familiar with that radio station, they've got President

(44:05):
Steve on in the morning. Our friend Greg Fitzsimmons, who
is a very funny comedian and he always tells me
that I am his that this show and President and
Steve are his two favorite shows to do in the
entire country. So WMMR has had this guy, Pierre Robert,
who's been there forever. I mean, he's synonymous with that

(44:26):
radio station and been doing the midday shift, you know
like Stansbury does for us, and you know, long hair,
hippie dude. He's been there a long time. Longtime rock
stations if you're lucky, all have a guy like this,
right wdv Ian Pittsburgh had Sean McDowell for many years.
He's been retired Lis in Vegas now. But this guy

(44:47):
Pierre Robert, who I think they literally like just re
signed for the four hundredth time. They would just every
time this guy's contract was up, they were like, this
guy's like the mainstay of this radio station. He is
dead at sixty eight, and so I would have to

(45:08):
think that, you know, beyond the this is one of
those people that was fortunate enough to have kind of
an equity in that market that went beyond the radio station.
Even if you weren't a listener to that radio station,
you would know who he was, Oh God, because he'd
been there for so long and needed charity things and
he's you know, very ingratiated in the community. I assume

(45:29):
he's a Philly native. I don't know he's in like
the Philly Walk of Fame. But it's the only gotta
be the only radio station the guys ever worked for.
So MMR and MMS were both owned by Metro Media,
which was what did it so and MMS stood for
Metro Media Stereo and MMR was Metro Media Radio.

Speaker 7 (45:51):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
So there you have it. Because people locally think that
WMMS stood for like weed makes music sweet or something
like that. Now it's always really boring. That made it
wake always really boring. Yeah, WGN in Chicago stood for
World's Greatest newspaper or something like that because it was
part of the Chicago Tribune WLS in Chicago. These are
the stations I grew up with. It was world's largest

(46:12):
store because it was part of Sears Roebuck or something
like that. So it's always something boring. Yeah, he's been
around since eighty one. Nineteen eighty one he joined WMMR.
So a career wise, he had the kind of career
that people in this business only dream of. Now again,
he was a is a DJ right and he's playing music,
but he had as a personality really really gone beyond that.

(46:34):
Sixty eight years old, which is not old, by the way, No,
that's not old. It says no foul play suspected, and
he was found at home, so he probably sounds like
the heart just gave out. Could it have been but
dare I say it? Rum? Could it have been food poison?

(46:54):
Something is going around. Anything's possible. It's why you gotta
stay hydrated when you got the scoots as could he have?
It is philly true, and he have fallen down a
greased pole. Have one of those steaks from Pats or
Geno's got himself a bad case of the pukes. The pukes. Yeah,

(47:15):
so he was yeah, yeah, that is a drag man.
He was definitely something else. Man. That's a career you'd
love to have, you know. Good for him, man. And
of course, in this industry, you know, those are big
shoes to fill. And if it were any year other
than twenty twenty five, I'm sure they'd be looking to
fill those shoes, right. I have to think that in

(47:37):
this day and age, that radio station is like, hey,
one less person to pay anyway.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Rip their program director who'd been there for a very
very long time, Bill Weston, he just left in the
last couple of years too, So that whole thing is
about to have a pretty big shift.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Now. Well, yeah, I don't know. I would have to
think that you'd put someone in there, because again, that
radio station has a huge, a particular vibe to it,
and you know, like MMS does, it's it's a smaller
iHeart that owns it, you know what I mean. So
it's a different company. It's not this company, yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
You know so, but same mindset, same philosophy, profit first
type company. So it's not going to be hey, let's
go out and find the absolute best person we can
put on this radio station to say, hey, who's okay
that we can get really really cheap?

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Is there a weekend guy this year? Like, that's what's
going to happen? And you know, it is one of
those radio stations where even the people on the weekend
have been there a long time, so they will they'll
have a lot of recognition. You could put somebody in,
you know, who's already on staff and nobody would blink
an eye. Yeah, it's like this place. There's just there's
not a ton of turnover with the airstaff. Yeah, oh

(48:50):
I'm sorry. Weed makes me smile is what people thought
work right, Well, listen, that's yeah, that's what people want
to go with, and uh, let's go with it. Yes,
the reality was much more boring. It's not doing any hard.
Weed thing is great. We does make you smile, It
doesn't make me smile. Do you have too much of it?
And then those other things to you smoke weed every day?

Speaker 4 (49:14):
The Allen Cox Show. One, of course, he stays.

Speaker 7 (49:22):
Calm when someone steals his stuff from.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
The company fridge. He needs that energy for when he
pokes in their gas tank.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
Allen Cox on one SEMMS.

By the way, earlier that day, I know we've been
running commercials for it. I haven't mentioned it. I'm going
to be at the grand opening of the Dicks House
of Sport rob This is another installment of Cox and Dicks.
I've done these before when they have a brand new
Dix in Strongsville on Saturday at south Park Center. There
is no mention of this at WMMS dot com, but

(50:44):
I assure you I will be there now. Will I
be climbing the rock wall, You'll have to come and
find out. Will I be running the track, You'll have
to find out. But if you're down Strongsville Way, combine,
say hike, win some stuff. I'll be at the brand
new day. They're in Strongsville this Saturday from eleven a
to one p. Two short hours. But come say hi.

(51:12):
We did this months ago when they opened the new
one in Avon. They shut down the one in Crocker
Park that was one of their flagship stores because they
were reopening one in Avon, and they said, hey, would
you come out and be part of the grand open?
I said absolutely. Met a lot of people with a
lot of fun. I don't do a lot of those
retail spots anymore. But this Saturday, eleven eight to one p,
alb at the brand new Dick's House of Sport in Strongsville.

(51:34):
And these ones are like in addition to the Dick's
sporting goods like these are, they're set up to be
like training facilities. That's what I mean. Yeah, they're cool. Yeah,
they've got like the full on rock wall, they've got
the they got a thing called House of cleats, which
is this. They got a batting cage and then they
got this huge thing that's adjacent to that that's just nothing,
but it's pretty close. Yeah. Yeah, it's almost like those

(51:55):
like golf simulators and yeah, batting cages. That's pretty bad.
It's pretty rare. So yeah, I'll be there for the
grand opening of the new one there in Strongsville on
Saturday from eleven eight to one p I'm about to
go check that out. Ah, Royboddy Cavalier's play tonight. They

seven o'clock tip off at the TD Garden six thirty
pre game here on MMS. Calves home for the better
part of a week and a half, so they will
bring the Raptors here and the Hawks and the seventy
six ers. Well, I assume the teams will bring themselves.
I don't think the Calves have anything to do with
their transportation, but you never know what time. See at

(52:39):
the House of Sports eleven am to one pm. Rock, Oh,
you're gonna miss him. I'll be straddling that noon time.
Miss o Evan Mobley's gonna be there from three to
four thirty. That happened last time when I was. When
I was at the one in Avon, they had somebody
else there was going to be there when I was there,
but he they had to change his schedule, so he was.

(53:00):
I think it was one of the Browns. He was
gonna be there later in the day and I couldn't help,
But wonder if it was because I was there, rob
Then I really screwed it up for people, because I mean,
when they open these things up, there's like people in
a line outside to get in. And that's sure as
balls isn't for me. And Denzel Wards there Sunday. It's
pronounced Denzel Washington. No, no, no, Denzel Ward. It's pronounced

H ah yeah. People tell somebody told me Pierre Robert
was originally from San Francisco, drove cross country to Philadelphia,
loved Reis Aroni the San Francisco teat. Sorry, that is
a misprint in this treat I'm being told that was treat,
So sorry.

Speaker 13 (54:11):
Found and Rob built from South Jersey. Holy moly, dudes,
I had no idea if Pierre Robert died. I hadn't
heard it. Pierre is a fixture beyond belief. He came
on the air when I was in high school. I'm
sixty one now. Beyond that. He is one of the
few DJs that actually goes out into the public kind
of like you guys do with the bark crawls and

(54:32):
mixes with the people. So shame, we'll miss him. Talk
to you later.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
See, not everybody mixes with the people like we do.
Rob right right, Pier Robert was a man of the people.
You and I are men of the people. Well, I'm
more like a grown boy, but you take my point. No,
there was a radio station when I was on in Chicago.
The girl that was on middays after me. I was
on in the morning, and the girl it was on

(55:00):
days after me came from a station in Philly called
Why one hundred they were a long time alternative station,
and that's where Preston and Steve had been doing mornings
and really blew up there. And then that station folded
and a lot of those people went over to w MMR,
which is more of a mainstream rock station, a little
bit of an older demographic, and Pierre Robert was there
for the That guy was immovable. He did I think

(55:24):
ten A to two p for forty plus years, dead
in his home. See, you want to die on the air.
We've talked about this, like in the middle of a break. Yeah,
you want to die on the air, do you though?

Speaker 9 (55:39):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (55:40):
I don't know, man, why because you don't die well,
you lose your your faculties right, your bowels loosen?

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Yeah, but no one wants to hear you don't want
your last thing heard on the radio to be And
then I.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Was that's exactly what I want, exactly what I want.
Set out everybody, that's exactly what I want. And I
gotta sit here and I gotta smell it. Thump. Well,
I would hope that you wouldn't sit there for long.

(56:16):
What am I gonna do? Show must go on? Oh
gotta wrap things up, Hey, listen, we'll guys Allan and
crept himself see tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
Open to make sure he's dead. Calms next, check his pulse.
We got three minutes to kaz Let me just check
his pulse again. Time it out a se.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Alan, Wake up, there's three minutes left. I heart says
you got to finish up. Is that guy mad because
I'm not on until six thirty? This truck rust mad
that I died at six on nine. Shoot come back
and play a song? Oh you ordering mange baron kyote.

Speaker 7 (56:57):
Earth.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
This guy set six thirty, but he's done at six
oh nine. That's illegal. They call the CC. Yeah, right,
as soon as I can get a phone. Ah, I'm
filing a lawsuit because he died at six eleven. Ah,
not die in the air. I wouldn't want to die

(57:19):
on the air, Oh Rob. I want to die while
ston Lloyd because I'm gonna have to work until I'm
one hundred. Yeah, but well, it'd be weird if you
weren't employed and still died in the air. They'd be like, oh, yeah,
this guy was just sitting behind a microphone in his
base and he pretending pretending. Yeah, Poppas felt comfortable for
years just sit in that studio. Yeah, Pee Paul was

(57:41):
supposedly interviewing the Hawk to a girl when he fell over.
Apparently he did something called radio. I don't know. He
just used to mumble about all the time. I don't
know what that is, but it sounded like a long
time ago. It was something. I think it was like
a terrestrial podcast. It's what they were. Mema said he
would do like he would talk about like weird stuff

(58:02):
like farts and penises on me today. That's this week
in farts, big one blew through the Sunshine State. That's
ten before the Big hour of six. Next time on
this weekend, weaken farts. The music just keep playing and

(58:35):
there was no one to pop down.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
His bit.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Has died on the air. That's what I want, That's
what I want, Oh God, This week in fox, This
week in farce, A huge wooden blew through. Yeah, the
months and Saxons the week that was, boy, Yeah, speaking

(59:02):
of blue through. Did you see see me those today
pictures from Jamaica? No, boy, wait, what were the did
you send me them?

Speaker 7 (59:12):
No?

Speaker 2 (59:12):
No, there's just I've just saw some stuff on the
news to Jamaica. Well but but it's blown through right,
But now everybody's like rebuilding their lives, and they're well,
they're looking at just like thirty five people dead. Yeah,
at least. Yeah, it's going towards the Bahamas. Yeah. Yeah,
it took that path that they were worried about. Yeah,
but it slowed down. I guess when it hit land.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
It stayed at a Category five for a short period
and then dropped to a four, but still stayed.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
At like one hundred and thirty five mile an hours
to state it wins Cuba, like one hundred and fifty
thousand people in that power or something in Cuba. Yeah,
at least twenty five people have died in Haiti. I
mean that's a country that is constantly in a state
of rebuilding. So I'm sure they just look at it
and they go, all right, it's a Category two now.
But yeah, man, I think it was.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
The New York Times had some pictures that like, like
Santa Cruz is gone, Like there's nothing less to Santa Cruz, Jamaica.
It just everything washed down from the hills. So there's
just mud. It's buildings.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Montego Bay. Yeah, yeah, Montigo, the northwest tip of Jamaica
is in ruins. They say, well, that's where it made landfall. Yeah,
so it's on the opposite side. So that's more on
that the opposite side of where like Ocho Rios and
that stuff is. I had never been there, but when

(01:00:35):
I first got going in radio, I was an intern
in Chicago and Apple Vacations was the big travel company,
and so we were always giving away trips to Ocho Rios.
I didn't know where that was. I was twenty. I'd
never been anywhere. I didn't know where Ocho Rios was,
but we were always giving away trips, yeah, which all

(01:00:56):
had trade stuff. Yeah, so significant damage in Cuba and
in Jamaica and headed to the Bahamas. Category two as
Rob said, Yeah, Guantanamo Bay right blue right through there.
You just pushing prisoners outside. I was going to say,
does it like release anybody. It's like when you knock

(01:01:18):
over an ant hill and they all kind of come
out and running around. They all heard that run white joke,
and they're all tying people the trees. Yeah, it's not
how the wind is blowing, it's what the winds blowing.
There's a boil water advisory issued for much of Cuba. Sorry,

(01:01:38):
a boil water advisory. I don't know why I put
you this on boil? I go, I was thinking of
the skin condition, right, there's a boil advisory lance them
on site. You know what. I'm also worried about, rob
There's no shortage of things to worry about. And I'm

(01:01:59):
traditional not a warrior. We're very hard at that, right.
There's no amount of anxiety that's going to change the
future or the past. There's no point in getting prematurely
concerned about something. However, I am concerned because I'm being
told to be now about the high lead levels in

(01:02:19):
my protein powder. Uh oh yeah, now in yours in particular,
well in protein powders, some of the most popular ones,
and that they're concerned about the high lead levels. And
I take protein powder, and I guess I'm going to

(01:02:40):
have to go home and check this depth charge full
of chocolate powder that I have and see how much
lead is in it. And they're saying, hey, you better
check this now again. You know what I said before
about they say that the best way to guard a
trialed against a peanut allergy is to give them peanuts

(01:03:01):
from a young age. Right. That's why I used to
dip my pinky in people's puke, it tasted mature. Make
sure that I didn't have a metaphobia later in life.
And so along those very same lines is precaution. Right
when I was left home alone as a young kid,
I would eat paint chips. Rob Smart, and so listen,

(01:03:21):
I feel like I'm impervious to lead levels now, and frankly,
why wouldn't I want a heavier protein powder. I'm going
for them, gains Son, True, But I guess you got
to look and make sure that the lead levels are.
I would imagine that any levels of lead are probably
not great. But they tested a whole bunch of protein

(01:03:43):
powders and they said that seventy percent of them had
way more lead than they're supposed to have. Plant based
powders had higher lead levels because crops obviously absorb metals
from the soil. Right, So you think you're doing something great,

(01:04:03):
Like there's a protein shake that I drink midway between
the show every day or middle of the show every day,
and that is plant based. Now I got to look
at that, Rob, and there's you know, listen, protein powders
themselves are controversial, but they've worked for me. But now

(01:04:26):
I've got to go back and see what's what. Yeah,
I gotta do the same. I've been taking a lot
of proteins. This is what I'm saying. I use a
brand called Optimum Nutrition. That's what I take. It's a
way protein powder. Now I got to go home and
figure out what the hell is going on? What I
got to figure out? Oh I need a lead free powder? Yes, yes,

(01:04:48):
I think that's exactly what you need.

Speaker 4 (01:04:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Yeah, but they're not going to put that on the label, right,
Oh lead free? They might if you're lucky. Okay, well
then let me find out lead free powder. Oh yeah,
there's a lot of Okay, well, listen and I will
I will change that. Boy, that's good. I thought that
I was gonna have to be. I didn't want anything

(01:05:12):
interrupting my games. Research complete. A gush of finger, A
gush of finger, A cutch of finger. Let's sell my finger.

Speaker 4 (01:05:23):
Hunky donkey, hunk it donky from Francis Harold, Harold, hun't

so much tummy flexing in the morning. Rob that uh,
I just need that to pump me up. Songs way

(01:06:12):
better than it should be, like I love muscle should
Oh yeah, I didn't get to the breakdown. Breakdown is
the best part. That's not what I want. That's different.
Hold on, prepare secret. Here we go, count the longer,

(01:06:41):
live with the pomps, slightly stomach in.

Speaker 7 (01:06:45):
Just.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Get what.

Speaker 10 (01:06:57):
I want.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
It's perfect for me because I don't understand Matt, I
have the numbers not great? Well, come on, can't be
everything to everyone, true.

Speaker 14 (01:07:15):
Allen, let's rich down Jacksonville, Florida. I want to speak
to your co hosts and boss over there, Rob Anthony. First,
my condolences to your mother's husband passing away. But on
that note, sounds like there's a.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
New lady on the market.

Speaker 13 (01:07:28):
Anyways.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
You see what's happening here. You see what's happening here.
People are trying to cast us in parallel life, right jaws,
because my mom has gentlemen callers now they're saying that
since your stepfather passed that somehow your mom is going
to be walking up and down Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway. Yeah,
I believe you said it best, Allan when you said

(01:07:53):
you son of a motherless horde. I think that the
wounds are probably still too fresh. You, sir, can huff
my taint rich down there in Jacksonville, Florida. An added
level of concern because he's so close, and now DTR
will add you to the dead to rob list, You

(01:08:14):
son of a bitch. Well, I mean he's not technically wrong.
He's not casting aspersions on your mother, of course, He's
just saying, hey, there is a extra lady shut up
on the market. Now, that's got to be a good
three hours from Jacksonville to your your mom's in Cocoa Beach. Yeah,

(01:08:36):
it's got to be a good three hours. My mother
won't look at somebody from Jacksonville. Oh really, go live
somewhere nice in Florida side. Oh she's a scumbag. She's
a Florida snob. That's right, all right. Well, it's like
you know those people in New York they go, I'm
not going to date anybody below thirty fifth, right, that
whole thing. So your mom won't date anybody north Orlando.
My mom's not going to date anybody. Hey, yeah, guess

(01:08:58):
who else said that famous last words? My mom has
no interest in anyone? What's that? Oh yet I'm here
to take a special yet Okay, no yet, of course,
my dad's been gone three years. This guy, but your
mom's got to have something like that on the brain, right,

(01:09:19):
She's like, you know, to be honest, she's not gonna
date anybody north of Orlando. Well that that obviously, I'm
just joking. But but I I, uh, you don't know,
I don't. I don't see my mother in anybody does
does especially you think I did. I'm just saying it's
too fresh, rapidly happened to you, honey, it's too too fresh,

(01:09:44):
Miss Cox, that's miss Cocks. I threw that.

Speaker 8 (01:09:51):
I didn't think I'd ever want anyone after Alan, But
it turns out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
But it took some time.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
You had to you had to process everything you weren't
looking just weeks after everything happened.

Speaker 8 (01:10:01):
I took time in Wieners, I took a lot of time.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
I disagree. I listen, she only told me about it
last Thanksgiving. I don't know when the whole thing started.
No one's in a hurry. I understand Rich is planning
for the future rap. How do you like that Rich
can get bent? Wow? All right, well the very nice
rich very least give your mom a bolo for Rich

(01:10:27):
from Jacksonville, Florida. All right, just all right, keep your
eyes open.

Speaker 4 (01:10:31):
Yeah, the Allan Cox Show on one call the Alan
Cox Show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Have you met Alan?

Speaker 13 (01:10:40):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
My god, I forgot about Alan. Okay, do you have
a whiteboard?

Speaker 7 (01:10:45):
Two seven eight one double o seven three four eight one.

Speaker 4 (01:10:49):
Double oh seven.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
James Renner is going to be back in here tomorrow.
He's an accomplished true crime author novelist, and he used
to come in every year for Halloween. We kind of
he is a busy guy. Then he would tell stories
urban legends in and around Ohio. Wrote a book many
years ago called It Came from Ohio. And so he's

(01:11:22):
going to rejoin us tomorrow tell some stories. Just I
figured this will be the perfect antidote rob to the
kids Halloween party going on outside in the suite. We'll
have our buddy James Renner in here telling terrifying stories.
I don't know what one has to do with the other.

(01:11:44):
I'm just trying to you know, there's gonna be kids
out there, take that rug rats? What time is the
party tomorrow?

Speaker 7 (01:11:51):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Did you see that email yesterday?

Speaker 6 (01:11:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
I think so. I mean it's it's uh or something
or is start at four? See, I think it's I
think it might start at four? Okay, starts at four pm?

Speaker 6 (01:12:05):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Yeah, yeah, so we'll be halfway through the show when
it begins. Then that's okay. Looking forward to seeing you
all at our spooctacular Halloween Trick or Treat bash. Well,
well that was right there. Drinks sweets for all in
trick or treating stations, pumpkin decorating in craft who by

(01:12:27):
the way, let's pump the brakes because tomorrow is going
to be a fantastic candy procuring opportunity. Right, we go
out there. Here's my thought. The party starts at four
we very surreptitiously, in like the three forty five break.
I go to break around three forty. Yeah, You and

(01:12:49):
I descend upon the suite out there, each of us
with an empty pillowcase in tow, and we proceed to
kind of do a round robin thing where no but
he can notice because there'll be all kinds of hubbub
and commotion in another part right, people wrangling kids, and
we proceed to empty each one of the bowls of candy.

(01:13:11):
But from these treat stations into our pillow cases go
full blown Grinch. We just take away Halloween from the kids, right,
Remember how the Grinch is hard grew three sizes hard.
I'm sorry, heart, Oh, I don't recall that. Ah, that's
what will happen tomorrow. We will abscond with all of

(01:13:33):
the candies and they'll bring them in here. Except kids
are pretty good at that stuff. They can really hone in.
And the last thing we want is a mob of
little ones forming outside the door, be a real village
of the damned vibe going on there. If that happens,
I'm just spitballing. I guess we probably won't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
But and he himself even called roofs Beast, I around
like Sus all day, Yeah, looking like SEUs.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
I did take the time, because I do my diligence
with all intra office communication. I did take the time
to officially decline the invitation to that party. Did you
was there an option to there? Was? You will? With
all those invite emails? Right, there's like you attend?

Speaker 7 (01:14:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
I I because I listen. I want him to have
an appropriate head count. So anytime there's like an event
that go, hey, who's coming to the staff ball game?
Who's coming? I always say yay, nay? Appropriate head count
for what?

Speaker 7 (01:14:35):
For?

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
How many people? There's people out there planning these things?
And I mean I can't Again, I don't assume anybody
knows anything about what I'm doing. I don't assume they
go there's nobody planning this, that goes, oh, Alan won't
be there. He's on the air, right. I've had salespeople
come to me at noon when I'm in here. Are
you on watch? How long do I have to be

(01:14:59):
at this radio station before somebody figures out when I'm
on somebody I work with. But again, everybody's doing a
million things, so I figure it's just for housekeeping purposes.
It's better if I yeay or nay, and invariably it's nay,
But it would be anyway because we're in here when
you reply plus one to speak for both of us. Yes, anyway.

(01:15:25):
James Renner in tomorrow in the four o'clock hour. Good
to see him and get some scary stuff under our belts.
There was an article about uh is Halloween decor becoming
too scary. You know, years ago it would just be
some cutout ghosts, and then we moved into the age
of animatronics and those weren't that big of a deal.

(01:15:48):
You'd see him at home depot. But that section now
because people have really leaned in to Halloween as it's
been easier and easier to you know, make your own
effects to some degree through video. AI has helped. That's
just video stuff, but for real practical decorations that that

(01:16:11):
segment of the home improvement stores have gotten bigger and
bigger and bigger. You know, obviously they're going to have
them at a spirit Halloween place like that. You go
to home Depot, that's where're going to find your nine
foot tall skeletons. And they ain't cheap. People spend a
lot of money on that stuff and they're happy to
do it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Whenever they move the Spirit halloweens into all the closed
locations of whatever, you know, we always go and.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
Those things.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
I still I will jump scare on at least three
cons of those items every single year, and.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
I'm like, I know it's coming.

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
I know that that baby's going to come flying out
of the carriage at seven hundred miles an hour directly
into my face.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
I still freak out every time. Well, there were I
didn't freak out, but there were a number of animatronics
at this kid's party that we were at because there's
going the adult version is this Saturday night. And one
of them I took some video and I should have
sent it to you. But one of them is this,
you know, like the girl that came out of the
television in the ring right, stringy hair or whatever, looks

(01:17:14):
like that, but older sitting in a chair holding like
this decapitated baby or something, and it's and they have
it put It's an animatronic, so they have it in
this chair and it's rocking back and forth with its
head down and all it does is continue to rock,
and I'm like, it's pretty intense. I don't like that.
I don't mind it. I don't like the baby stuff.
I don't like that stuff. It's interesting to me how

(01:17:34):
much money people will spend on these though, because you know,
one of these giant skeletons, Yeah, like three hundred four
hundred bucks. But the article on have Halloween decorations become
too scary and over the past few years. You've kind
of seen this play out in the local news right
where people don't realize it's not actual body parts in

(01:17:57):
someone's front yard and they call the cops. The decorations
are more lifelike, the gore is more plentiful. That was
part of this article, and people in certain neighborhoods are like,
I just wanted to take my kid to see. You know,
there should probably be one house, and there always are.
You know, there doesn't seem to be any middle ground

(01:18:20):
anymore with Halloween decorations. You either have somebody who's trying
to recreate the Texas chainsaw massacre on the front forty
or you've got somebody with a bunch of inflatable ghosts.
You know, Oh, there's Bluey in a mask, that kind
of thing. Thing clearly geared for the kids. So it
used to be like you could walk your kid around,

(01:18:42):
they'd be like, oh, there's some ghosts, there's some spiders,
there's a skeleton. Now you walk out there like dismembered
bodies and making noises. By the way, I think these
are funny because my thought is always Jesus the time
it takes to put up that's how you know, people

(01:19:02):
are dedicated to this stuff, and then the time it
takes to take it down. Yeah, because I'm like, uh no,
thank you. Better them than me is what I always think,
even with the you know, when people go full Clark
Griswold at Christmas, good for them, better them than me.
I just wonder what happened to the good old days
where like, you know, witches weren't paying attention to where

(01:19:23):
they're where they were going and flew into the side
of your house and just had a broom sticking out
and an outfit in the way it looked like she
crashed him. Oh yeah, those are kind of funny though,
funny yeah, with like some or like legs sticking ass. Yeah,
what happened to those?

Speaker 10 (01:19:37):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Those are those have become really old references.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
I know, and now it's literally pissed your pants when
you walk by somebody's house.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
It's a funny sight gag to see legs sticking out
from under in the house. But if you were to
be like, oh, it's like at the Wizard of Ours,
you're gonna have a certain contingent of people going what
if that is kids? I think adults would still know.
But you know, neighbors end up lodging complaints, and you
know how I love lodge as a verb. But you know,

(01:20:06):
neighborhood organizations, and if you're under an HOA, you can
forget about all this stuff. You know, they're telling you
what friggin color you can paint your mailbox. So I'm
sure they probably have some rules regarding Halloween decorations, but
nothing where you can go nuts. But yeah, more and
more decorations. I'll show you some here in the live stream.
More and more decorations are getting more life, like, more bloody, more.

(01:20:30):
And I have to think that this kind of goes
hand in glove with people's fascination now with things like
true crime, because you're inundated with all of these themes.
You're inundated with like gonzo horror movies, like those terrifier movies.
You know, some people over the past few years have
made their entire personality those dumb terrifier movies. And listen,

(01:20:54):
I grew up on splatter films. I love gory horror films.
Give me a little bit of the story, I mean,
fake me out with a little bit of a story.
This terrifier movie is really popular. They cost next to
nothing to make, and they've made three or four of
them and people love them. But it's like Gore for
Gore's sake. Even the Saw movies had a little bit

(01:21:15):
of jush to them, you know. But there's a lid
for every pot. The twelve foot skeleton that you can
buy at home depot costs about four hundred dollars, and
they have more and more every year. You have to
get the dog skeleton, and that's not even Those are

(01:21:35):
things that aren't even bloody.

Speaker 13 (01:21:38):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Some people like the skeletons. Other people are like, I
need like buckets of red paint on the front lawn.
I mean, it's all fine. Again, my thought goes immediately
to what a pain in the ass is set up?

Speaker 10 (01:21:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
I mean, yeah, okay, your payoff is cool for the
first day, and then you're like, yeah, head's bobbing back
and forth. Here's a couple more. Here, there's a severed
head in a popcorn machine. That's nice set up. There's
a doll of a girl who looks like she's got

(01:22:14):
something stuffed in her mouth and there's like green bile
and her eyes are bleeding, and there's sins and there's
skulls now. I there's a part of me that thinks
that that is, there's a party of me that believes
in kids are we're always kind of trying to protect

(01:22:36):
kids a little bit more than they need, you know,
from things like that if they're scared. I'm not talking
about two year olds. I'm talking about like, you know,
when you get seven, eight nine, kind of get some moxie.
You're curious about the world. And I don't think kids
are as freaked out by that stuff as we might
think that they are. I mean, listen, the natural world
has horrors beyond our imagination. So this kind of stuff,

(01:22:57):
it's like there's no real danger to it. You can
kind of flirt with the stuff, but there's nothing that's
really going to hurt you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
I don't know, man, I think I don't think seven
eight nine year old kids should be seeing a severed
head and a pumpkin basket like in a pumpkin mate
or if not being a popcornation.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
You don't like that, No, I just feel like someone well,
I mean, you know, sometimes you'll see something hanging from
a tree, and obviously you know there's historical context for that.
That's pretty icky. Yeah, but this kind of stuff. If
it's just blood and rotting skeletons, yeah, I don't like it.
I loved Creep Show when I was eleven years old. Man,
that was one of my favorite movies of all time

(01:23:34):
was Creep Show. If I saw that rendered in practical effects,
a lot of that movie was, I would be.

Speaker 8 (01:23:40):
Like, Oh, this is great.

Speaker 3 (01:23:41):
I got horror movies used like in a c you
wanted to stay up kind of way, you know what
I mean. Like I told the story before about Creep
Show was the example, and my dad tortured me with
I want my cake for like the rest of my life,
like when probably like the day he died, he probably
said it to me, you know what I mean. It
was just something he's broke my balls about forever. But
it was used in such a way that like, see,

(01:24:02):
you wanted to stay up now, sit here and watch this.
So I never to this day I hate horror movies.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Oh did your dad like Clockwork? Orange?

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
You theasically have like clips in your eyelids, So I
just yeah, you know what I mean, Like, Oh, you're
gonna sit here and you're gonna watch it. You're gonna
watch the rest of it with me? And so what
was one of those movies. The Creep Show was the
show biggest one. Because you're a little bit younger than me.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
So when I was a kid, I was getting freaked
out by the Amityville Horror and the Exorcist, But that
only came from the fact that it was raised Catholic. Yeah,
the extras fell all kinds of fake nonsense in your head.
Some movies like hey, all the Devil movies, if you're
a Catholic kid, they're lying to you. Tell Well, that
could happen. But when I get older and you're like,

(01:24:42):
oh Jesus, give me a break. I largely stayed away
from horror movies all of my life. I've still never
seen like all of the Freddy Krueger movies or the
Jason movies or anything like. I don't I don't watch
any of that. I hate it. I hate that feeling
of like being scared. I don't like the I hate it.

(01:25:02):
I do have a harder time. I'm not a huge
body horror fan. That's a big genre. Body horror that
to me is like almost too close to home where
there's like bones coming out of Yeah, I don't like
people's limbs being snapped and things like I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:25:17):
Like, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
I couldn't watch the Saw movies like I I've tried.
I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
I can't watch that stuff. It doesn't I don't do
well with it. I'm too much of an impath in
that way that I just yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
I don't know much of that. But those terrifier movies
where he's like sitting on a girl's back and then
you know, just scalping her and cutting her legs off,
and there's no come on, man, I don't need to
see that. And I just feel like for kids, like
kids definitely don't need to see well, I mean, but
but what how is that amazingly different than what you

(01:25:50):
see at someone's house if there's someone what's it called
when you pull the skin off of something scalp flaying? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
Yeah, So if you have a body hanging outside of
your house, that's a decoration of someone who's had the
skin ripped off of them, and their bones are showing
and muscles and things like that, and there's blood dripping
off of it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
How's that different than seeing that movie? That's a fantastic
opportunity to teach your kids about human anatomy. Hey, look
at that, son, That is a quadru sp Yes, look
how it's peeled off? No to me, And I think
people take it way too goddamn far if I'm on,
but I and I might agree. But what I'm saying

(01:26:28):
is there's a difference between a static decoration and a
movie where you're watching it happen. Sure gory detail, right,
that's a whole different thing. Oh he he just flayed
him alive and stuffed his trapeziis into his mouth. Yeah,
Like I don't need that, And I get what they're doing.
They're just trying to push it for pushing its sake.

Speaker 3 (01:26:51):
Now, I will watch something like I was just mentioning
gen d gen V Yeah and that, Like I see
a lot of gore in that, but not in that
same kind of way. So just that kind of gore
is so clearly CGI. Yeah, and it's goofy and it's
silly and it's yeah superhero stuff. At least that's how

(01:27:11):
I've sort of convinced myself it doesn't bother me. But
I cannot watch those movies. Man, there's a movie.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
I've talked about the movie before, and a lot of
people know the movie it's already ten years old. It's
called Bone Tomahawk. I watched this in a hotel room
in Toronto. My wife had fallen asleep. We came back drunk.
I'm clicking around. It's like two in the morning. And
Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson. It's a great cast in this movie.
And it's a western, right, some guys. Somebody has been

(01:27:39):
abducted from this western town by this nearby group of
savages that turned out to be cannibals. This movie takes
a hard left turn about halfway through. The entire movie
is a couple hours long, and there's one scene in
this movie. It's about forty five seconds long, and everybody
knows the one I'm talking about. If you've seen that
movie where they cut a living guy in half. They

(01:28:03):
bisect this guy in half, and that scene is like
burned on my brain from that movie. Great movie. Otherwise,
if I ever watched it again, I would probably zip
right past that. Yeah, I don't need that. It's intense
because you're like, oh my god, I didn't know it was.
There was no way to predict that's what this movie

(01:28:23):
was gonna be about. When you watched it, would rob
consider watching Keeper, the guy that directed Long Legs. See,
I think Long Legs was crazy overrated. I don't even
know what that is. The Nicholas Cage movie where like
a there's like a devil worship thing and there's dolls
that are kids that are killing No, it was a
huge movie a couple of years ago, and it got
all this attention. It was entertaining, but I thought it

(01:28:43):
was quaite overrated. Oh look who what it was? Look
who stars in that movie. It's Nicholas Cage. And what's
that other actress's name? Uh? Is it Micah m ai
Ka last name Monroe? Oh that's a girl. Yeah, the
female lead is Michael Monroe. Yeah, Monroe. They rebooted the

(01:29:04):
Hand of the Rocks the Cradle with her, Remember that
with Rebecca de Mornay. No, not the bookstore lady from Seinfeld.
I remember the original. Yeah, the Hand of the Rocks
the Cradle. They rebooted it with Mike. I think Micha
Monroe is in Keeper. That's why she's in both of
those movies. Correct.

Speaker 3 (01:29:17):
Yeah, No, I'm not familiar with this and it's and
by what you said that the seven second description of it,
it would be something I would not be interested long legs.

Speaker 2 (01:29:24):
Yeah, yeah, again. I watched it just to see what
everybody was talking about, and I got what they were
trying to do, and he was good in it. He
gets to go full gonzo. But I'd rather watch Mandy
any day of the week. I'll watch that on a
freakin loop. The earlen Cox Show on.

Speaker 4 (01:29:42):

WMMS the iHeartRadio Listen there. You can always leave us
messages there as well. There's a little rit talkbag button

Speaker 10 (01:30:57):
Hey Ellen, Rob, listening to the podcast from yesterday, I'm
just wondering if they are dragging their feet on getting
to a phone screener because they're going to give you
the acc at the end of your contract.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
Please say it ain't so. I love my sweet sweet boy,
you know, Rob. It is the sincerity with which our
audience approaches us that really I treasure. Uh, Listen, I
gave up trying to figure out the moves of this
company a long time ago. I will say, I have
another two and a half years on my contract, so

(01:31:33):
I don't. Boy, if they're gonna burn it out, they're
gonna kick that can down the road. They got a
lot of kicking to do, right, But I don't. Again,
my answer is two parts. A. I stopped trying to
second guess this company a long time ago, and B
it doesn't seem likely. Again, this is not a This

(01:31:56):
is not a high bar to clear, which is why
it's so frus Well, you know, it's got someone in
the pipeline that we want to bring on. I know
why they haven't made the higher it's it's kicking the
can into another month, into another quarter where they haven't
had to pay anybody. Right, this is jim wage. Oh,

(01:32:16):
I know, I completely get it, but it's it's it's
still the things that the way that these guys does
spend step over dollars to pick up dimes all the
time in this company. It is so stupid. The way
that we do things like a part time phone screeting
job is sitting with like the heads of some capital

(01:32:39):
department in this company. I'm like, you see what it pays.
I guess I don't understand why they're all in the
same It pays less than what they're spending on this
stupid ass Halloween party tomorrow. Well, I don't know what
they're spending on the Halloween party, and that's not that's
coming out of her pocket. You see my point? Yeah,
I know, so, yes, it's frustrating. But and the reason

(01:33:00):
you would be to his question, I'd be really surprised.
It's because we haven't made a lot of noise yet.
That's why they haven't filled the job. If you start
getting pissed off, I start getting pissed off, get pissed off,
start yelling about it. Oh Jesus, maybe Del this guy
has a re upset. Maybe they should do something about No,

(01:33:21):
I'm telling you that's how it gets done. I don't
maybe when you you're the program director, nobody cares if
I yell like yell all the time. I you get
to hoot and holler and flip in a desk. That's
what we need.

Speaker 3 (01:33:32):
We need, we need flip a desk, ac uh clear
a room. God damn it, No, that's what we need.

Speaker 9 (01:33:40):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
I've made myself abundantly clear publicly and privately. I said
it yesterday. I am not a priority of this company.
Now that aside. What I'm saying is I shouldn't have
to scream and yell to get somebody to do something.
I agree with you. So I'm not gonna do that.
I've made myself abundantly clear as to what my position

(01:34:05):
is publicly and done it here, done it out there.
And then you get the oh, what tri it?

Speaker 7 (01:34:11):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
Really pushing for it? That again? Come on? So if
that's my answer, there's no amount of pushing that's going
to move that. They're not going to be like Oh,
we didn't know you really wanted to hire someone for
I mean, they know I know, so it's not you know,
I just think, Okay, I understand, but I you know,

(01:34:35):
conservation of energy route. You know, I want to devote
my focus and my juices, if you will, creative and
otherwise in the right direction. And me flipping out on
somebody who isn't really the decision maker anyway, but they
have the decision maker ears, Well, then I guess what

(01:34:57):
I can infer from that is it's not a priority
for them, because if they do have the ears, like
I said, I've made my position clearer for some time now,
and if that has not moved a needle, then that
means it's only a priority to me, and there's really
nothing I can do. Listen, there have been times over

(01:35:19):
the years of the show where I said I will
spend my own money on this. They go, no, no,
you can't do that. That's a whole other thing. No, no, no,
I go, well that's it. I've done the same thing.
So I gotta just sit and wait for you guys
to figure it out when I could easily do it myself.
So anyway, this is all inside baseball, But the answer

(01:35:40):
to that questions. The person's question is, I don't think
it has anything to do with it. I have another
two and a half years on my deal now. They
could tell me to get the f out next week,
but that is not writing that I see on the wall. Yeah,
squeaky wheel gets the grease. I have been squeaky. How

(01:36:02):
squeaky does one person have to get right? It would
be very I make myself clear in my way. I
don't scream and yell and whatever. I make myself clear
in my way, there's no equivocation as to what my
opinion is on certain things here. And once they know

(01:36:25):
that there's no point in screaming and yelling, once they
have the information that I've given them, then whatever happens
after that is what happens after that. You're just no
amount of screaming and yelling. First of all, it would
be really against type for me. I'm not a screamer.
I'm not a yeller. I never have been. I'm sure

(01:36:46):
you could make the case that if I were that way,
maybe things. Who knows. It's just not how I operate.
It's just not it never has been. If I make
myself clear right, then you know take it from there
and all joking aside.

Speaker 7 (01:37:05):
Here.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
What I'm thinking here is what I want. And then
you decide if you know. I'm not a screamer or
yeller either. I've never in my life been like that.
I get amped up and all get animated, and I'll
go at people with stuff. I'm not afraid of confrontation,
but I do not. I'm not a yeller. No, because
it doesn't get the it doesn't get the required result. No,

(01:37:30):
you're just a dick.

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
Hold on here, let me see go ahead, Alan, I'm
gonna answer the phone right now. We see see if
we can get somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
Who would like to participate in the show, because you
know that's part of my job, that talk show.

Speaker 10 (01:37:44):
A h.

Speaker 2 (01:37:49):
Elan ihearts playing.

Speaker 3 (01:37:49):
We gave away those tickets about forty minutes ago. Yeah, no,
I'm just joking. It was about five minutes ago. We
gave the tickets away, though we did get called at
number ten.

Speaker 15 (01:38:00):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
Okay, have a good day, Kapi. And that's why you
don't answer the goddamn phones, Alan, iHeart is playing forty chess.
Can't flip your desk and they on the sign one
to you. Oh, I sit at the same desk every morning.
I would never lay claim to it, but I sit
at the exact same desk every morning from eight thirty
to ten ish. I am in the same spot. They

(01:38:23):
know where to find me. But again, I'm not a
screamer and I'm not a yeller. A standby so I
can grab the calls. More is David Lee Roth afraid
of horror movie?

Speaker 4 (01:38:42):
Yaziam?

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
And all is right in the world? Are you excited
about tomorrow's Halloween party for the kids? Here?

Speaker 4 (01:38:49):
Yaziham?

Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
Isn't there a no.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
Whoa?

Speaker 2 (01:38:57):
Goddamn the baby? He's not lying? And he called me baby?

Speaker 7 (01:39:02):
I like that?

Speaker 2 (01:39:05):
H Dave? Do you ever aspire to elected office?

Speaker 9 (01:39:11):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:39:12):
That home run?

Speaker 7 (01:39:12):
Here?

Speaker 10 (01:39:16):
Hey Allen Rob, this is Becky from Wayne County.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
All right, sir, Oh he's calling us back as Becky
from Wayne County. He's engaging in some subter futures. Wow,
how about that. I would didn't see that one coming.

Speaker 10 (01:39:34):
Hey, Allen, Rob, this is Becky from Wayne County.

Speaker 16 (01:39:39):
I think the reason that I may have called is
because we don't really have a frame of reference for
how much show hosts may talk show hosts things of
that nature and business compared to a phone screener. I
know you've set something many times about minimum wait for

(01:39:59):
a phone s, but we don't know what anybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:40:02):
Yeah, anyway, that doesn't matter. It's irrelevant what anybody else makes.
The point is that position is minimum wage. Yes, I
don't know what talk show hosts make either. I know
what I make, but that's completely that has nothing to
do with what that position pays. It's a minimum wage position.
It's why pound cake left right right. I would have
loved lucky to have that kid for eight years. But

(01:40:22):
it's not a position where they're like, hey, you're doing
a great job. Here's more money. It's that's not what
it is. That's what the job pays. And I'll be honest,
that's not what any position in radio is. Oh you've
done a great job. Oh Rob, you're gonna be a
co host now on top of being the program director. Hey,
ask me how much more money I made? Zero? Yeah, exactly,

(01:40:45):
zero point zero, And I would do it all again tomorrow.
This is the most fun I've ever had in my career,
without question, but zero point zero. I don't see what
I make or what you make, having any thing to
do with what that position pays. No, it doesn't. You
know what I mean? Like that job pays with that
job pays, period. That's it. Ethan says. The trick is

(01:41:10):
not screaming or yelling. Try striking someone and then speak calmly.
It confuses people and you get your way. Yeah, that's right.
Do I have your attention? Now? That's how he gets
his big booty hose. Right, So he's doing rails off
their chocolate brown cakes. Strike striking someone and then yes,

(01:41:32):
workplace violence is clearly the answer to the problem is
a very underused word. Striking someone. I like it as
an adjective. I don't care for it as a verb.
Oh you don't, Well, that person is striking rob But
if you're like I am striking that person.

Speaker 3 (01:41:51):
I like it better that way, do you? Yeah, striking
is very funny to me. It's very formal. Like I
would have said, like, try slapping somebody like that would
have been my go to term.

Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
Well, Ethan's a classy guy, but I decided to strike someone. Yes,
so much better. That's how you know if you're talking
to a theater nerd too, if you use the word strike,
did you ever did you ever do theater in school?

Speaker 7 (01:42:14):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
Striking means you pull everything off the stage, like you're
taking down the props and the set, and you know, oh,
should we strike this? We're changing the set. Shall we
strike this? Okay? That's how you know you're talking to
a theater nerd.

Speaker 9 (01:42:24):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (01:42:25):
Yeah? No, no, I never did that, but I have
struck someone with an open handed glove. I would like
to bitch strike someone. Go outside, Nerd, get out.

Speaker 3 (01:42:38):
Bitch strike might be my new anytime I want to
say bitch slap someone, That's what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Well, us, that's a kick ass name for an all
chick band strike Bitch Strike. Yeah it's pretty good. Yeah,
it's got military s t R y k E. Yeah yeah.
I would stop sending me the story about their herpes monkeys,
all right, it's not real, guilty, it's not real. This

(01:43:06):
is another This is a case where they took the
initial somebody was trolling whoever reported on this initially first
on the scene, and they ran with it. Nobody checks it.
They're like, a truck is crashed full of monkeys that
have herpes and hepatitis se in COVID. You're like, really,
you really think that's what happened, and then every story

(01:43:28):
subsequent was it's been determined that's not the case, but
people still ran with it because that was the only
interesting thing. And then it becomes, well, what else are
they gonna say? They're lying? The local law enforcement was like,
they're not infectious monkeys, but one did have herpes. Yeah,
something like that. Well, these are lab monkeys. They were
coming from New Orleans, I think Tulane University and overturns

(01:43:52):
in Mississippi. I'm more interested in how the hell that happened.
How does a truck full of monkeys overturn? It's one
of the emergency corps.

Speaker 4 (01:44:01):
We got to.

Speaker 2 (01:44:06):
Neutra last something. Jesus Christ. How does that nine to
one one operator deal with that Mississippi accident?

Speaker 13 (01:44:11):
On there?

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
That's my dad's home state. We got a murder, prohaps
that's sure. Okay, we'll send somebody. I guess we got
to market that.

Speaker 4 (01:44:24):
They have to Neutra last something.

Speaker 2 (01:44:27):
They have to neutralize somebody out here.

Speaker 7 (01:44:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:44:32):
Please.

Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
I crashed my flying machine, escaped and by the way,
they destroyed the monkeys because they thought they were infected.
So they took all these live lab monkeys and killed
them because they were operating on the information that they
were all a danger to the local populace. Yeah, it

(01:44:55):
sounds all mixed up because they saw what we were
initially told. We thought this was the appropriate at action,
and they're like, not the case. Yeah, the number of
monkeys were destroyed after they got loose yesterday morning. Criss monkeys,
not macock or being transport. The truck crashed about seventy

(01:45:16):
five miles east of Jackson, Mississippi. Driver said that the
primates posed a threat to humans, that they were aggressive, which, okay,
they're in a truck. They had hepsey, herpes and COVID,
so that's the driver going, they're coming from a lab.

(01:45:38):
They're forty pound monkeys. They're a big ass monkey. Yeah
they're not small. They're not small, but they're missed off
monkey running around with herpes. But the driver and by
the way, I don't it is. It's very confusing, right,
I think they the guy initially told him that and
they said, no, no, that's not the case. But you
think that if you're transporting live animals, there's going to
be some kind of manifest with you that could refer

(01:46:00):
to that says, hey, FYI is a COVID monkeys. He
put a bunch of them down The National Biological Research
Center or provides primates to other research organizations, and they
said that the monkeys in this truck were not infectious.
They belonged to a third party. That sounds like a

(01:46:22):
fun party. FURSU sucked on to two parties and no
monkeys at third party. That's a good time for maybe
this weekend's party, you'll have monkeys. Oh, come on, we
got racists, we got macaque, we got chimpanzees. The primates

(01:46:42):
in question belonged to a third party, and they have
not been exposed to any infectious agent. They said that
these were not being transported by Tulane University, but they
were blah blah blah. So this whole thing was upside down.
If you'll pardon the punt, it doesn't I don't know what.
You don't know what the driver was. Hey guys, this truck.

(01:47:02):
First of all, how did he crash? Was he not
paying attention? How do you crash a truck of monkeys?
I know you can technically crash any vehicle, but you're
on the highway. The ironic if he was masturbating, spanking
his monkey, and that's all they're doing in the back.
Two I got a truck full of monkeys who are
whacking it and I was up there. The driver was

(01:47:26):
spanking his monkey at the time of the accident when
multiple monkeys escaped after spanking, they're monkeys tonight in Jackson
a case of monkey see monkey do. The driver clearly
masturbating on the highway transporting. That's how they all got COVID.

(01:47:48):
Some of the animals were still missing as of this morning.
Three monkeys still remain on the loose. So for our
beerau chiefs down there in the Greater Jackson, Mississippi area,
be on the lookout for escaped monkeys. Go back to
my idea getting out the organ grinder. Hmmmm always helps.

(01:48:09):
The Sheriff's apartment contacted an animal disposal firm to take
the carcasses at the scene. They said the two lane
would not send or would send a team to pick
up the monkeys didn't escape. So yeah, but people keep
sending me the ohugh no. Like fifteen minutes after the

(01:48:30):
story broke, they were like, hey, edit update non infectious
now because people are reflexively conspiratorial. Now you can't altogether
blame them, right, That is a situation that does make sense.
So many things people believe make no sense at all.
This They're like, oh, they're trying to cover up COVID monkeys. Yeah,

(01:48:52):
I believe that. I just don't think that's what happened.
I don't think they're covering up COVID monkeys. I do
think that they all had herpes. H I do belie
leave that absolutely, you think they're all herpes monkeys. I
think they're herpes monkeys. Yes, I think there's four missing
herpes hepatitis monkeys out there. COVID thing, I think, No, Okay,
but I do. Why why make why be that specific?

(01:49:13):
What do you mean why? Well, they said they said herpes,
HEPSI and COVID, right, COVID does, and doesn't it seem
like COVID would be the one thing that the monkeys
wouldn't have, Like, if you're gonna do experiments on monkeys,
you're not going to be like, all right, let's give
this monkey herpes and hepatitis. We'll throw it COVID. See
what happens with COVID. I always assume like COVID's too

(01:49:35):
much of an odd burger there. I always assume that
most of these animals are quietly. I'm a bigger believer
that they'd never actually stopped animal testing in the cosmetic industry.
I agree with that. That's the conspiracy theory that I believe, right,
I think they still do that. That's why when these
monkeys escape from this truck, they have like blush on

(01:49:58):
and their eyebrows. As they got out, they like, oh
my god, that monkey's contouring is on point, beautiful, good,
great coloring. What I no wonder that monkey has her piece?
Look how hot it is that one's face matches that
one's ass A baboon, A baboon of the hell. Maybe
it's that monkey. Maybe it's maybe leave.

Speaker 7 (01:50:23):
You.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
Oh golly, but please don't writing Red?

Speaker 7 (01:50:30):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (01:50:31):
That is baboon's ass?

Speaker 4 (01:50:33):
Red?

Speaker 8 (01:50:34):
I love it?

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
Stunning? Sixty five dollars a tube, hypoallergenic. All right, anyway,
three monkeys remain. They're still fun to be had.

Speaker 4 (01:50:49):
The Allen Corr Show, one call the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 2 (01:50:57):
Where's the best place in America to meet single girls?

Speaker 7 (01:50:59):

Double oh seven.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
I'm gonna have four day weekend passes for Sonic Temple
for you in a bit closer to five ten. They
just dropped the entire lineup yesterday. I think at noon.
It was intense. They've been driving and driving them out,
but uh, the entire lineup is fantastic. So it's back

(01:51:48):
down in Columbus. It's the fourteenth through the seventeenth of May,
your very last night Headliners tool that Sunday night, but
God Smack and Lamb of God and Shine Down my
Chemical Romance and is really something for everybody. Megadeth and
Bush and Marilyn Manson and Sublime and uh just the band.

(01:52:10):
They're going heavy in a death cord. This year is
like Behemoth and Dying Fetus and Cathold Decapitation. That's where
you're gonna find me that first night Rob that Thursday
night while all of the millennial emo kids all growed
up are living like it's two thousand and six all
over again. At the Mike Keem stage, I'll be watching Behemoth.

(01:52:34):
I gotta be honest. I think I'm gonna largely avoid
almost all of it except Sunday. Dude. That's Sunday that
is for me. That is the old guy day. It's
not the old guy day. There's a lot of good
bands on it. It's a pet Butler called it the
old guy. Did he really hate? Pat Well? Mega Death,

(01:52:57):
Lamb of God, Black Label Society, po D, of Course,
Public Enemy, Mega Death, Anthrax, Demon Hunter. Listen when it
comes to Christian metal, Demon Hunter pretty friggin good. I
don't care if you like an invisible man in the sky.
If you got riffs, you got riffs.

Speaker 3 (01:53:17):
I'm just saying for Tool being the headliner, I haven't
seen Tool so that I've never You've never seen them.

Speaker 2 (01:53:24):
I've missed them twice. It's a long weekend though. Boy,
it's like by the time Sunday night cons is. That's
why you just go on Sunday like I'm going to Yeah, Okay,
I mean I like Tool, but you have to be
in a Tool frame of mind to see those guys
do a full set. It's so it's so much wanking.
I can't wait for Pussifer. I'm going to that show.

Speaker 3 (01:53:42):
Yeah, but like I don't know, man, Saturday looks good,
like I like a lot of bands on Saturday, but like,
I mean, what's that headliner?

Speaker 2 (01:53:54):
There's bit bring me the Horizon, Yeah, there's there's there's
plenty because they're so many bands, right, they're up to
five stages over four days, some for everybody. There's big
hunks that I will absolutely skip. Yeah right, I don't
care about Motionless in White but Stone Temple Pilots. I

(01:54:14):
know how excited you are that they're back out, not
Bones Stone Temple Pilot. I will I will go see Friday.
I would absolutely go see Zach Sabbath and seven Dust,
Static X Dope, Powerman five. I will go to all
of those mushroom Head from Cleveland, Ohio on that stage

I don't need the Emo all stuff lit. I'm there
for Whitechapel and Flesh God Apocalypse and Napalm Death. We
know why I'm there. We will definitely see Stansbury there
on Friday to catch Sublime in the Offspring together. I
know that'll be his dream bill. He loves Sublime, Rob,

(01:54:56):
I think you're mistaken. I believe that Stansbury hate Sublime.
Oh does he with a blue hot hatred that is
unrivaled in the world of rock music criticism. I haven't
heard that well. He does hide that light under a
bushel bass. He doesn't like people to know because, of course,
first and foremost, where Stewart's the public airwaves, he doesn't

(01:55:17):
really like people to know that he's dismissive of Sublime,
keeps it to himself. Apocalyptica two on Sunday. Yeah, see
this is I have to go Sunday. I have to
go Sunday. Ok, maybe Saturday. Maybe Sepultura might be what
makes me go. They're on the farewell tour, so it's

(01:55:38):
Megadeth and body Count. I haven't seen that ever, and
I loved what ice Ta used to do back in
the day. I saw him on the I'm on the
first Lollapaloosa Bush is always good. Yes with an althar
bridge Anyway, Today, Tomorrow, Friday, Uh Sonic Temple tickets for
you all four days.

Speaker 8 (01:55:58):
It's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (01:56:00):
He's not He's butcher babies. They're down to one hot
chick now. Uh yeah, a lot of fun. Kubla Khan
t X. They blew my wig off at incarceration. Couldn't
talked about them so many times. I want to see
them now, like you talked about leaving a wedding to
go see them. Kubla Khan TAC that was when I
was in Jersey, but they were playing across the street.
I didn't realize that the show was sold out, so

(01:56:20):
I saw them at Incarceration and then they were here
the same night as sleep Token, but I was at
sleep Token and Signs of the Swarm unbelievable uh death
metal band from Pittsburgh. One of my favorite bands out there.
So yeah, stayed Aaron Lewis. Listen to whiny rock and

(01:56:43):
roll ladies and gentlemen. Now, don't confuse because Lizzie Hale
and hail Storm are playing. Yeah, don't confuse them with
another band that are also playing Sonic Temple I think
the Last Day called ale Storm. They are an Australian
band who does pirate metal. Yes, all of their songs

(01:57:04):
are about drinking flagons of mead and getting keel hauled.
And you know they have a song called p A
r t Y off of an album called Seventh Rum
of a Seventh Rum. Oh yeah, So don't confuse Hailstorm
with ale Storm. Is it a mona marthy? Is that
kind of what you get? None of that? It's vikingy

(01:57:26):
pirty kind of. Yes. They will be on one of
those smaller stages on Sunday. All right, yep, don't miss
ale Storm. I mean, yeah, it's gonna be a good one. Man.
This this I do like how diverse. This lineup is

(01:57:46):
Mike and Parma hot on the heels of cocaine bear
this summer. Get ready for gonerrilla. Yeah, Gonerrilla. That's a
good one. By the way. I on the animal front,
I mentioned last week, I was talking about three people
in Japan who had been murdered by bears. An old

(01:58:11):
Japanese guy was guard doing something or what he got
decapitated by a bear. And so for whatever reason, there's
been this big spike in bear attacks there on the
island of Japan, and they're calling out the Japanese Army.
So you've had multiple people killed by bears, over one

(01:58:33):
hundred people injured. And you know, as bear as I
understand it, as bears get ready to hibernate, they get
really scritchy and so people get in their way, it's
bad news, and so they're sending out the Japanese Army.
Now it's probably in real life, way more boring than
what I'm envisioning, which is like a planes v. Godzilla

(01:58:56):
type thing. Most you know, bears in the wild are
in the Northern Hemisphere, and obviously that includes Japan, and
Japan ain't that big. You know, you have millions of
people living on this island, but in the cities obviously
there's nowhere to go.

Speaker 7 (01:59:14):
What up?

Speaker 2 (01:59:15):
So you know, my ex wife lived in Japan for
many years. They're just stacked on top of each other.
But once you get out kind of into the hinterlands,
got a lot of bears. And so we were primarily
talking last week about the old guy who was decapitated
by a bear. So whoever found that scene found the
guy's head a couple of clicks away, not a couple

(01:59:39):
of clicks, but you get my point, not in conjunction
with his body. So the Japanese army is getting called
out to combat these bear attacks. I really hope there's
footage of this, really hope there's footage. I want to
see these guys going hand because they did just getting
out there and just taking bears out. Oh, taking bears out.

(02:00:00):
Just there's I don't know what they're working with there.
But because listen, this is another effective climate change, right,
natural food sources change now, So these animals get increasingly
desperate for food and they start going in places that

(02:00:20):
they wouldn't normally go and running into people. And so
combine that with Japan dealing with, you know, a big
population decline, and so you have bears wandering into less
areas that used to keep them away because there were
more people. But now there were fewer people in a

(02:00:42):
lot of these towns, and so the bears, you know,
they get a full head of steam. Now they're not
so worried you're gonna end up with a bear in
a grocery store. You might have seen that a couple
of weeks ago. That was in Japan too. A guy
comes around on the aisle. He's just looking for some
I don't know, sardines, some seaweed snacks, and there's a

(02:01:04):
bear looking for the exact same items. Yeah, where's the honey,
you have the last can of sardines? Yeah, you know,
bears attacking people while they're running. Bears are fast. You
saw DiCaprio and he got sodomized in that movie That
was no fun. So I would like to think that

(02:01:27):
it's along the lines of these guys just kind of
lining up and just you know, strafing these bears. But
it's not gonna be that it's gonna be gonna be
setting traps. I think they're gonna be you. I don't know, man.

Speaker 3 (02:01:41):
I think if you're if you're calling in the military
to take care of bears, you're not looking to do like,
let's see if we can trap it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:49):
Well, they're putting these things down, dude. Well, the fine
print says that the law allows the Japanese military to
transport dead animals, but it doesn't appear to permit extermination.
Permit extermination. Yeah, well we found it like this. Yeah.
Oh there's eighty six bullet holes. Any Ah, that's how
we found it. There you go. Rocket launcher yep. What

(02:02:09):
happened to that bear? I don't know, turn him into
a fine miss? Do you see anything? I don't know
now rocket launcher v bear? That might be something I
would watch. What if the bear grabs it and throws
it back.

Speaker 3 (02:02:29):
In like real, like like matrix style, Yeah, or just
swats it and so the angle of it, yeah, turns
it around, shoots the people off.

Speaker 13 (02:02:36):
Then I got a problem.

Speaker 2 (02:02:38):
Alan, tell Rob that you don't see tool. You experienced tool? Huh,
I've never experienced it.

Speaker 3 (02:02:46):
See, I just I caught myself at five oh one
is it. Uh huh, I've never experienced that band Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes,
m No, actual bears, not fat gay dudes. You know
people are asking, oh, Japan's being overrun, you silly goose.

Speaker 2 (02:03:09):
Oh I get it, I get it. Trying to call
the bear population, letting the twinks take over. No, they've
got their plans to take care of them. Where the
periods attract bears, the bears can smell theminstration. Tom An
Barberton wants to know if the bears have herpes too,
or if it's just those monkeys. I've seen no indication

(02:03:34):
that they're worried that the bears are stricken with herpes.
Do me a favor, please, please, please, please please google
Herpes outbreak amongst bears, Herpes outbreak bears. They're gonna show
me William Refrigerator parry, aren't they. Oh, Doug Flutie, Yes,

(02:03:59):
bears can get herpes. It spreads in zoos. Rob. I
just imagine it was going to bring up all kinds
of interesting websites. That's going to make us get on
the bad boy list again. Oh yeah, copy stuff? Uh huh? Ellen,
could you come into my office and bring everything in
your desk with you is come to my attention? Did

(02:04:20):
you google bears herpees? I sure did. Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Why so called research, guys, you gotta give me a
wide berth here on this show. Should I not have
done that? I got a claim ignorance on this If
I knew that that kind of thing was frowned upon,
I'll take the Costanza defense. If I knew that that

(02:04:41):
kind of thing was frowned upon, I never would have
engaged in that kind of activity. Did you realize your
co hosts was uh googling no nutting for a month
and what that was called?

Speaker 6 (02:04:54):
Alan?

Speaker 2 (02:04:54):
Did you did you know that he was doing that?
I did not know that. If that's his business, it
just seems that he nothing to do with me. We
google on this show. Why don't you guys get me
a phone screener and then we'll talk about what I'm googling.
I was googling phone screeners. If you look closely by

(02:05:17):
the way, you mentioned your girl Sophie Cunningham, and I
know you only appreciate her for her athletic acum. It's
but you know you want to talk about Squeaky Wheel.
She wants to be part of that Victorious Secret Fashion
Show because Angel Reese for My Chicago Sky was part

(02:05:38):
of it, and Sophie Cunningham goes, why not me, Angel Reese.
This is where they strapped the Angel wings to them
and they walk in. Obviously, female athletes are prime specimens
for this because they're in great shape, they're super tall,
I mean, everything you'd want in a runway model. They're athletes.

(02:05:59):
Angel became the first active athlete to walk in that
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. And now Sophie Cunningham, who plays
alongside Caitlyn Clark. They're in the Indiana Fever. Rob will
tell you this. He's he's a long time Fast fan,
a massive fan. Sophie Cunningham's been in the league now
for five or six years and because she, uh, you know,

(02:06:24):
when people were kind of slagging Caitlyn Clark, Sophie Cunningham
was was co signing. She was kind of ride or
die with her. And she's not been quiet about what
she sees of the problems of the officiating and blah
blah blah. And she's not afraid to get in there
and mix it up. She's in there fighting, she's not
afraid throwing shots. So she texted her agents. She goes,

(02:06:47):
I want to be in this Victoria's Secret Fashion show
because Angel Reese was in it and some girl who
was in the Olympics was in it. And she's like,
I don't really have the boobs for it. I mean
I don't with respect. I don't think Angel Reese does either.
But Sophie Cunningham, you know it's all padding anyway, It

(02:07:07):
put her in there. Who cares you into the boo boobs?
Put her in I hadn't noticed that. I mean, you
thought that would have been on my get you to
watch ROB? Yeah, I mean listen. I think I'm just
such a fan of hers on the court. I can't
even think about her doing something like that. I'll show
you Angel Reese here walking in the good gravy, good

(02:07:33):
night nurse. I don't like her. You don't like Angel Reese.
I do not, Jesus, she's got some cakes. Now, why
don't you like her?

Speaker 6 (02:07:44):
ROB?

Speaker 2 (02:07:45):
Because because she's not Sophie Cunningham.

Speaker 3 (02:07:47):
No, No, I don't like her because I think she
was just a touch to on the I'm jealous. I'm
not what's her name, Katelyn Caitlyn Clark thing. She was
pissed off that everybody was paying attention to the UNBA
and prior to that NCAA hoops because Katelyn Clark was
making a big thing and instead of being like, oh,

(02:08:07):
you know what, it's cool to be a part of
this time when the thing's growing, she was a bitch
and she ran her mouth way too much and she
would cause problems and she would throw jabs at Kitlyn
Clark on the court and she would just kind of
be an a hole.

Speaker 2 (02:08:19):
So no, I don't particularly care for her at all.
I mean she does. She did just find in that
role that we just saw and she's a phenomenal athlete.
I just don't like her. Now I have to wrap
the Chicago sky. So my girl Sophie took care of
her a couple of times, you know, And that's that's
what's important. Be a good teammate. These girls are all

(02:08:41):
building an empire, just like their male counterparts. Angel Reese
has trademarked her name and she's also trademarked her phrase,
me bounds, not rebounds, rob me bounds, because there's nothing
like screaming about how great you are in a team
sport A me bound. Yeah, but you know, what everybody's

(02:09:02):
got to do. This Now it's a team sport, but
it's made up of individuals who were all trying to
get their piece. This is just what sports is now,
so that it's like it's not like at the level
of the game, like these are billion dollar properties, these
are assets. Well she might be. I'm not saying you're wrong.
I'm just saying that, like I have to wrap her

(02:09:22):
because I worked for the Chicago Sky and she filed
a trademark for me bounds. Now that was a troll
on her. Somebody was given her a hard time. She
slapped it down, flipped it and reversed it.

Speaker 4 (02:09:39):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (02:09:39):
She's like, hey, troll me all you want. I'll take
your idea. And just like I went yesterday rob and
trademarked the Jane Goodall Halloween costume. Nobody's gonna get one
over on AC God. I hope you do it, AC
costume Crasher over here? Alan is David Lee Roth going

(02:10:01):
to be out there shooting bears? Yeah, Well he's got
that whole like Japanese you know, he's got that whole
like Yaku's body suit to two.

Speaker 7 (02:10:10):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:10:11):
Yeah, he studied for what years or something like that.
He was in Japan for a minute, so his bona
fides are solid. So, yeah, Sophie Cunningham wants to make
the move to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and I

(02:10:32):
can't imagine that there's any reason that they would keep
her out of that because you know, she's lovely and
she's you know, Sophie Cunningham to get hurt, So there's
probably a you know, she only signed a one year
deal with the Fever, so she'll be a free agent.

Speaker 7 (02:10:49):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:10:50):
This year she signed a one year, one hundred thousand
dollars deal with the Indiana Fever, so she's looking to
work on her brand as well. She's got more of
kind of a Midwestern corn fed thing going on there.
I don't know where's Sophie Cunningham from. Originally she's from Columbia, Missouri,

(02:11:13):
the former meth capital of the United States. You go
back twenty five years. I'm sorry, were you ask where
she was from? I was, I was, She's from Columbia, Missouri. Oh,
I was gonna, I was gonna tell you Columbia, Missouri.
She only signed a one year deal with the Indiana Fever,
and well, she was in Phoenix prior to that, Yeah,

(02:11:35):
where she was with Phoenix, Mercury really started to pay
attention to her career and saw her begin to blossom
as a w NBA player. Yeah, you know, and then
I once she joined the Fever, I got the fever
for the Fever and bought my season tickets by the way,
just too. You know, a lot of people think that
these female athletes in the w NBA are always grousing

(02:11:57):
about inequality between them and their male counterparts, and they are,
but some of that is deserved, right, there's just way
more eyeballs and you're not going to topple the NBA, right,
they're just not equal. WNBA getting more than they probably
ever have before as far as interest in things like that.
But Sophie Cunningham also calling out the fact, and she's

(02:12:20):
right to do it. This is where when they talk
about inequality, this is the kind of stuff they're talking about,
not just contracts. She tweeted out, Please tell me this
is fake. That Terry Rosier, while he's on leave as
part of this NBA, you know, gambling investigation, he will
still get his full twenty six million dollar salary, so

(02:12:45):
whatever he can sock away before they come up with
cause to nullify his contract if that's what they want
to do. She's like, that kind of sucks that this
guy is under investigation on federal gambling charges. I mean,
what kind of ironclad deal do you have to have? Hey,
under no circumstances whatsoever, am I to earn a penny

(02:13:08):
less than what you guys signed me for? Pretty good? Gig?
Uh huh? Hey Andrew, Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 13 (02:13:16):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (02:13:16):
Het the show? How are you man?

Speaker 13 (02:13:17):
Thanks? Oh dude, I was great.

Speaker 2 (02:13:20):
Yeah, I know that a whole knee bound thing. It
cracks me up because she misses so many shots. She
gets her own rebound and that's how she gets her stats.
So that's what they call me bound. Well yeah, that's
why they were trolling her with it, and she just
took the insult yeah, and trademarked it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:34):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:13:36):
Good good for her, you know, lean into it right. Anyways,
That's why I trademarked you suck, Andrew, because I hear
that all the time. Try to get one over on me. Yeah,
a good point. You suck, all right? You owe me money, Andrew?

Speaker 4 (02:13:49):
Thank you? See Allen cor Show on One of.

Speaker 6 (02:13:58):
The Words Radio, Oh and Ohio both end in IO

Speaker 4 (02:14:10):
Io Io HD Allen Cox Show, I'm one hundred point
seven WMMS.

Speaker 2 (02:14:23):

There's a bill in the Ohio State House that would
ban AI from marrying humans and owning property in the

(02:14:46):
state of Ohio. But this is what they're working on.
We're not really good with what's happening right now. We
want to go way down the road and make sure
that nobody can marry AI. All right, Uh, all right, Ohio,
I'll call your bluff. What if it's heterosexual AI? House

(02:15:07):
Bill for sixty nine would declare that artificial intelligence systems
can't be considered people. Well, there you go. Companies can
just not AI, meaning they can't marry, own property, or
act as someone's legal proxy. All right? Is it great?

(02:15:29):
I don't know if I tagged you in it or
send it to you. I love the video going around
that they finally killed sixty nine millennials finally killed sixty nine?
Did you see that where the guy is writing on
the white board. He's doing is like he's teaching a
math class, and he's like and this one, oh yeah, yeah,
and the total is sixty nine. He turns around and

(02:15:49):
everybody in the room is just writing, you know, and
he's like, oh, okay, he's expecting everybody to go sit
nice or whatever. And then the next problem he does,
the total is sixty seven, and everybody in the class like, yeah,
by the way, why is Scrilla not getting his flowers? Seriously?
Like it is nobody hip to what's going on there.

(02:16:12):
Everybody goes, six seven came out of nowhere. Nobody knows
what it is. It's the Scrilla song from last year.
Philly knows this, dot dte doot right, nobody. You see
these montages of news people talking about it. Now. The
kids aren't gonna know. Obviously, seventh graders aren't randomly making
anything go viral. But I don't see anybody giving Scrilla

(02:16:33):
his flower. This is a song from last year where
six seven came from and everybody thinks that like came
from another dimension or something. Yeah, it just took off
on TikTok. That's all it is. It just became a
why is nobody right? But why is nobody like giving
him as props for that? I think because it got
passed around so much that nobody the kids are like,
I don't know what this is? The actual like giff

(02:16:56):
jiff whatever?

Speaker 4 (02:16:57):
Uh is?

Speaker 2 (02:16:58):
If you type that in, it's it's him to do this.
Six seventh is it? Yeah? Because six seven is dictionary
dot COM's word of the year. Hey, remember when the
dictionary was words? Is it really?

Speaker 7 (02:17:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:17:09):
Oh boy? Six seven? I mean they are two words
with a hyphen. But but uh, script by the way,
for our Pittsburgh ureau chiefs, because Scrilla is from Philly.
He's in Pittsburgh tonight. It's some scrappy little joint called
Spirit over there on fifty first Street. So if you're

(02:17:30):
into Scrilla and nobody will know, yeah, nobody will know.
No one's getting into that book.

Speaker 17 (02:17:38):
I just bitchree on the highway six I just bitchree
on the highway. Check he's sitting in the drahway. I mean, dude, dude,
is I love it? It's a song that makes no sense.
You don't know what the hell is going on. But
everybody's like, I don't know a sixth it came out

(02:17:58):
of nowhere?

Speaker 4 (02:18:00):
What that was?

Speaker 2 (02:18:01):
What was most curious to me. I was like, why
is nobody talking about scrill on this? The fun drive
him nuts?

Speaker 3 (02:18:07):
The fun part of all of it is working it
in for months whenever I possibly can, wherever I can,
especially with my kids, and they laugh because they.

Speaker 2 (02:18:18):
Know, like, I will do it in that perfect dad way. Well,
and that's why a lot of teachers are the quickest
way to murder something that you don't want kids to
do is to make it instantly uncool by you doing it.
And so I have my daughter's parent teacher conference last
week and her teacher's like, oh, me and the other
teachers are all dressing at the Halloween party as sixes

(02:18:38):
and sevens. And I'm like, oh, that's gonna go away immediately. Yeah,
that'll do it. Because my daughter is not you know,
she kind of rolls her eyes at all this boy
energy that's around her, you know, and she's like, I
just sit around saying six seven, I go, I know,
I get it. Hey, Kelly, what time you get out
of practice tonight? Six point thirty? Oh so between six
and seven. Yeah, so Scrilla tonight in Pittsburgh. I hope people, uh,

(02:19:07):
I hope people give him as props. You know me,
I only like two kinds of rap. I like drill
rap and I like grime rap. Those are really the
only two I love. Kevin Gates No drill started in
Chicago when Chief Keith was in high school. He was
doing that pop smoke rip and grime rap. British guys,

(02:19:27):
right Dan, that's more dance Hawley, which I love so
like storm Zy and Dizzy Rascal and Little Sims and
those guys and Lady. I love that stuff. Scrilla. I mean,
the song's fun. Well, you don't know what the hell
is going on in there. So if you ever pull

(02:20:10):
up next to me in traffic and my windows down
and I'm blasting Stormsy, you'll know what's going on, because
if it's I'm not a giant rap guy, but if
I am, that's what I'm listening. Oh it's all I've
been listening to lately, Scrilla. Oh, I just know, I
just have such a ridiculous playlist of nineties and two

(02:20:32):
thousands hip hop. Yeah you know all that. You're like, yeah, yeah,
you're like well steeped in that I never read nas
kick lately. Okay, that's uh yeah, I just it. It
comes and goes with me, man, and then I'll just
dedicate myself to it for like a month, and then
I'll just start listening to something else.

Speaker 3 (02:20:49):
One day made you a look right now? Is the
the one that's been coming up on a lot of
playlists that I love. That's what made me start diving
in on nas. Okay, you can do worse. Oh yeah, yeah, listen,
no complaint with me now, zir Jones, my dude. So anyway,
six seven.

Speaker 2 (02:21:12):
Is dictionary dot COM's word of the year, and why not? Right, So,
you know, and there are two ways you could look
at these things. You know, people our age are always
like nobody can use words anymore. But language is very fluid.

(02:21:32):
You know, language began as pictures and we're kind of
come in full circle. You know a lot of people
now granted, you know, the culture is becoming literally largely
becoming sliding into illiteracy. Okay, okay, so couldn't be a

(02:21:53):
better time to begin communicating primarily in pictures. But six seven,
six seven, uh, and it's it's wearing itself out That's
why I never really get worked up about that stuff,
because it like it burns itself out so quickly and again,

(02:22:14):
like I said, the quickest way to do that, the
kill shot between the eyes, is when adults start doing it.
Oh yeah, that's why I never overdo it, like with
my kids. When I do it, I do it purposely
to be funny. Well, I put my own thing on it.
My daughter was like rolling her eyes. You know, she's
not somebody who draws attention to herself. And I've made

(02:22:35):
a career out of it, right, And so I was playing.
I told her, I said, I'm playing a song in
the metal show last Saturday night. Band was called Patient
sixty seven six seven, and I went six seven, and
she goes, why do you do it like that? I'm like,
I got to put my thing on it. I got
to put my stank on it. Everybody else going six
to seven. I'm going six hen. She's like rolling her

(02:23:00):
She is not into that. She knew you knew the reference,
which is good. You know, well, ye shows that you
were plugged in. Well I got it, right, I do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's one thing I never was to my kids was
a dork because I had to know what was going
on because I'm talking about stuff and you know, and again,
having kids helps, they keep you plugged in. I'm not

(02:23:23):
spending a lot of time on TikTok no, so but
you know, you kind of do have to stay plugged in.
So every year when they go, oh, here's our new
words of the year, and people go, oh, listen, I'm
a word nerd, but I don't get too precious about it.
Some people are really upset. They're like, it's all slang.
I'm like, yes, everything starts as slang, Like every word

(02:23:46):
starts as slang, as something that people are slanging around
to each other all Usually I'll do it like Monday,
when I wasn't feeling good, Cali wanted to cook, you
know what I mean. So she's like, Dad, we always do.
I know, it's amazingly cliche.

Speaker 3 (02:24:01):
It's the thing that every single Italian person will say
and joke around about. But whenever any of us are sick,
we make Italian penicillin. It's just it's it's just a
big pot of gravy.

Speaker 2 (02:24:13):
No, it's it's it's uh pastinasta little star pastas.

Speaker 9 (02:24:17):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:24:18):
So Cali made pastina and Melissa had a rotisserie chicken,
so she put that out and she's like, look, I
made dinner and I said, oh, thank you, saw meeting
my pastina. I said, Cali, you ate, and she just
looks at me, shakes her head. She's like, Dad, I'm like,
I know you ate, though, honey, it did such a
good job.

Speaker 7 (02:24:34):
You ate?

Speaker 2 (02:24:36):
Oh I thought you guys say let her cook? No,
oh no, no, no, Glorilla. Yeah she ate. Yeah, oh
you ate, Cali? Oh left no crumbs?

Speaker 7 (02:24:45):
You ate?

Speaker 6 (02:24:46):
Girl?

Speaker 2 (02:24:46):
Yep, she's just looking at me so good. Yeah, Now
explain to the nerds what that slang is.

Speaker 3 (02:24:54):
It just means you did something perfect. He crushed it.
He was like, you couldn't have done any better. It's primo.

Speaker 2 (02:25:01):
Yeah, you ate. Left no crumbs in the bing, and
that's like cleaned my bowl and I handed it to
her and I go, look, no crumbs, yeah dad, And
I'm like it was outside nerd get out, go But
you know what, they might roll their eyes, but that's
better than them going that's a nerd.

Speaker 11 (02:25:20):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:25:20):
They always laugh. Do I know exactly like how and
when to do it?

Speaker 3 (02:25:25):
Like I would never do that in a serious way, right,
Like I'll say it, you guys to ye, who's glaze
of that story?

Speaker 2 (02:25:33):
Which buddy was over there glazing this situation up? You
know what I mean. I'm like, come on, man. But yeah,
then my and my wife will sometimes like she'll she'll
do it with them to glazing. It's just like if
you're blowing something up a huge deal, a lot of
something that's not a big deal, and uh oh, it's
so funny because Melissa will do it. You know, she'd

(02:25:53):
be like a guy's got a lot of reds and
the kids just be like, oh Jesus, yeah, you know,
just stop. It's really funny. You have to do it
with like, you know, it's like it's gotta have a
wink behind it when you say it, you know, like
they had to know that you're in on the joke. Well,
my daughter did mention there was some boy that she
thought was very nice and he comports himself properly. I

(02:26:16):
just looked at her. I went sigma because you're like
eye rolls. She gave us a whiplash rolling her eyes.
She's like, don't be sustad. Yeah right, I'm like, like
I've been yelling bummaclott at people for twenty years and
it's finally happening. I had to get them to stop.
I'm like, you can't say that word. Well, well not

(02:26:38):
with the hurricane blowing through Jamaica, just in general. I like,
let's just leave that one over there. Yeah, okay, any
the B word, it's the T word, honey. I do
like when some things either stick around or they come
all the way around. Like chud is a thing again,
chud chud just like a jack off, like a fool, well,

(02:27:00):
you know, like a dummy, a chud.

Speaker 7 (02:27:01):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:27:01):
I don't think I ever heard that. Oh yeah, were
we were doing chud in college and then they go away, right,
And I think most slang, I don't know if most
slang is cyclical, but yeah, chud is like being used again.
We would always great. Yeah that's another one. Yeah, like
that one. I know chud. I hadn't. I hadn't. Uh,

(02:27:21):
I hadn't heard that one. What does it mean? Just
like an idiot? Yeah, like a like a dope. Yeah yeah,
like yeah, because a chomall it's like a thick wing
a coke can wiener, right, so it's different obviously, Yeah, yeah,
you know what I mean. I don't think it's that then,

(02:27:46):
I don't think it's that short. A tuna can wow
you guys if you're out there rocking the legit choed congratulations,
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (02:27:55):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:27:57):
So slang is fun to which your kids. Boy, it
really is best. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:28:03):
We had some bad ones though, man, Like when you
look back like, I'm like that that's why I never
judge it. Like when I hear my kids talking no slang,
I'm like, look at the things, like the stupid stuff
that we said that our parents had to listen to,
and I'm like, that's way worse.

Speaker 2 (02:28:18):
Well, listen, I was in high school. I started high
school in nineteen eighty five. I was a freshman in
the fall of eighty five, and so slap smack dab
in the millionaise people are like, excellent and gag me
with a spoon that I wasn't doing anything. I don't
recall using that much slang. I like the old timey slang,
Like I still say solid, you know, and somebody does

(02:28:39):
I'm like solid, I still use yeah, I'll use that.
I use dope a lot, like that's dope. I don't
use dope.

Speaker 3 (02:28:45):
I use that a ton and that that one's still
I feel like that one's kind of like, at least
everybody knows what it means, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (02:28:50):
If I say that, they're not like, oh, that's weird,
you know, I say my bad all the time. I
was in home depot with my daughter and I didn't
prep her at all, and I walked up to one
of the guys and asked them if they had any
skibbity toilets, and she wanted to melt into a puddle.
I was like, Oh, this is so that's so good.

(02:29:11):
You guys, where are your what are your skibbity toilets in?
And the guys look at me like, I'll find somebody.
I don't know what you're talking about. Guys just looking
at you like I know what you're doing. He had
no clue. Yepok, like a scarecrow in an orange vest. No,
I picked my target. I didn't want, you know, I
didn't want anybody who might even remotely understand what it was.

(02:29:31):
It was for her, it wasn't for him, Sir, could
you pass me in the direction of skibbity toilets? Do
you do we have American standard? If we have Toto
over here, there's bowler I'm looking for skibbity toilets.

Speaker 8 (02:29:43):
Do you have those?

Speaker 2 (02:29:44):
I don't see anything that begins with es ca, all right,
skeet toilets, No skibbitity ah. And and I work at
a haunted house and that's all the kids say is
six seven I want to throat punch them. Well, that's

(02:30:04):
where it's you're starting to see that it's jumping the shark.
It's hit the backside, because yeah it is.

Speaker 3 (02:30:10):
But also like kids are gonna do whatever, you know
what I mean. But it was the other day we
were I forget where the hell, oh we were at
the Cavs game. And when I went to the Cavs
game with Caitlyn, and she heard like a mom doing
it with like, you know, her eight and ten year old,
and it was like every two seconds. We were in
the team store and she's like.

Speaker 2 (02:30:27):
Is that one? Six seven?

Speaker 17 (02:30:28):
Two?

Speaker 2 (02:30:28):
Ha ha ha, and Melissa and Caitlyn just looked at me.
She goes, it's over, Yep, it's over. That's right. I'm like, see,
gotta give it to the moms to ruin And for
anyone confused by the way, who might be a fellow
gen x er. So there's no confusion. I'm not talking
about the cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers with the Chuds John Goodman,

(02:30:53):
of course, in an early CHUD film. He might have
been in the first one when he was kind of
getting his career going. He was a cop. But Daniel
Stern from Home Alone in Chud Remember Chud? No, oh no,
I think I'm not sure i'd ever heard the word
Chud before. But the horror movie cannibalistic humanoid underground Dwellers, Oh,

(02:31:13):
just great eighties shlock, so good. I'd also recommend a
terrible movie that just occurred to me called Xtro. That's
a deep dive. Bro, You remember a movie called Xtro.
In the eighties, for whatever reason, a lot of the
alien horror films involved raping women. There was a movie

(02:31:33):
called Humanoids from the Deep. Rape was a big part
impregnation of a human women, but obviously rape's part of it.
Same thing with Xtro, with this alien like knocks up
this woman and the kid. Terrible, terrible, but I love
it sounds pretty rough British movie from the early eighties.

(02:31:55):
Terrible and it's a deep dive.

Speaker 6 (02:32:00):
On one hundred point seven, our.

Speaker 9 (02:32:05):
Phone operators are standing by with their.

Speaker 2 (02:32:08):
Thumbs up their asses waiting for you to call so
cool call the Alan Cox Show two one six, five
seven eight one double oh seven or one three four.

Speaker 4 (02:32:17):
Eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 2 (02:32:25):
Seven to us on Sonic Temple two. Well, those guys,
I will have more Sonic Temple passes for you tomorrow
and Friday too, four day weekend passes. Our friend James
Renner is back on the show tomorrow. He traditionally will
join us around Halloween. He has a book called It

(02:32:46):
Came from Ohio. Of course, he's a renowned true crime
author and a novelist, and in Halloween's past he's come
by and told like creepy urban legend stories. So he'll
be in tomorrow to do that. Comedian Michael Longfellow will
be in here on Friday. He's doing the weekend at Hilarities.
You might not know the name, but you probably know

(02:33:08):
him by face. He just left Saturday Night Live and
it was difficult for him to make his mark. I
thought he was a very underutilized person on SNL, but
he is one of the handful of people who were
cut from that show at the end of the last season.
So Michael Longfellow doing the weekend at Hilarities. Funny dude.
He will be here on Friday. Actor John Slattery with

(02:33:29):
me on the show next week. You know John Slattery
from mad Men and a whole lot of other He's
in the new film Nuremberg with Michael Shannons. I'll be
talking to him about that. But mad Men is one
of those shows that I came to very late. I'm
only about halfway through the second season. I didn't watch
it when his first run, but I enjoyed a great deal.

(02:33:56):
Oh god, I got whiplash from the headlines today. I
sent myself a note headlines a man smashed eighty pumpkins
and millions will lose their food stamp benefits.

Speaker 4 (02:34:08):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (02:34:09):
Wow, listen to that, all right? Maybe a little bit
of separation between those. It was like one of those
like here's what's happening, the one of those did the
aliens come through? As all these people were talking about
how today was supposed to be perhaps the aliens revealing
themselves to us because this comet was zipping past us.

(02:34:30):
You might have seen the comet in the sky, this
Atlas three, I think is what it was called. And
they said today is it's going to be at its
closest point. Well, in astronomy terms, closest point is fifty
four million miles, right, So it's not like they're just
going to pull over and hop off. But there were
some smart people talking about it. Avi Lobe is a

(02:34:52):
very renowned scientists there at Harvard University, and all kinds
of people talking about are a alien's going to make
contact with us today? Rob, to the best of mine knowledge, sure,
we're here in the box, but I have to think
that if this were happening outside, there'd be a lot
of screaming out there or like whoa, look aliens. Yeah

(02:35:16):
that too. Yeah, that's probably as excited as I would get. Right,
He's like, Wow, yeah, have they come to put us
out of our misery?

Speaker 1 (02:35:26):
Is three I atlas alien technology. You can't do the
calculation of the massing rocks in industry space because this
object is targeting the inner Solar system and you know
it will pass closest to the Sun on October twenty ninth,
I got a text message the other day from someone
who said that he is trading options on the volatility
of the market with an expiration date of October twenty

(02:35:47):
nine in order to make money, And I immediately thought
that I.

Speaker 4 (02:35:52):
Don't know if there will be meaning to money if.

Speaker 1 (02:35:54):
This object turns out to be technological after October twenty nine.
If you want to take a vacation, take it before
that day. Now, it could be a mother shift that
releases many probs. You know that they come to earth.

Speaker 2 (02:36:05):
Listen. Everybody can many probes. Everybody can say it could
be this, or it could be that. I want to
know what it is.

Speaker 7 (02:36:13):
Is it that.

Speaker 2 (02:36:16):
So far I haven't heard anything about aliens revealing themselves
to us today Fermi's paradox, right, I can't imagine what
will happened. There have to be similarly evolved species as
us elsewhere where. They just haven't gotten off the ground yet.
You know, we think of aliens as being these wildly

(02:36:40):
evolved in Some of them probably are, but there's probably
a lot of them where They're out somewhere, rob going golly,
you think we're alone in the universe? And who knows,
But as of yet, I've seen no screaming, And golly,
what terrible timing. If the aliens came and started to

(02:37:00):
mow everyone down today, the day before the iHeart Halloween
party in the arm could you imagine, right, Oh, the
sadness that would be bestowed to this place. You want
to talk about glass half full? But what about our party?
They would say, well, that would be the perfect way,
by the way, for the aliens to infiltrate, because you

(02:37:23):
would just assume that they were somebody dressed up. That's
a great cost costume was unbelievable. It's very moist, stinky.
Good for you five fifty five. If I can grab
that one, see if I can do anything with that,
I think you might. I mean, I've already got uh,

(02:37:44):
I said something else, got I have it? Moist Yeah, yeah, moisten, moisten, stinky, Yeah,
moist and stinky. I don't hate it. I guarantee you
got it. And sloppy yep, wet and sloppy, moisten stinky.
I'm sensing a pattern for me, uh, Mary and Rocky River.

(02:38:05):
I'm so glad you guys explained with this six seven
crap is. I'm forty five with no kids, and I
was so confused when I would see that on social media.

Speaker 3 (02:38:15):
That's what I was thinking the whole time that dude
was talking about the aliens, Like if this whole thing
was just like someone's elaborate six seven joke, and he
like gets to the end of the whole thing, and
he's like, and we expect the aliens to arrive some
time between six and seven.

Speaker 2 (02:38:30):
SI, except I'd be like, yeah, yeah, he just he
lures you in, got the whole world behind him, leading
you down the primrose path. Is well, we're done, Sir
yep Alan. What would the slang for today's kids sound
like in the nineteen twenties? Wait, current slang in the

(02:38:51):
nineteen I don't by These kids are full of brighton today.
These they're bed rotting all day long. They barely get
up to use the skibbitty toilet. These kids are sus,
I tell you sus. They're so sus they ate and

(02:39:13):
left no crumbs. Dare I say they are de Lulu?
The new Slappy Denver song is a real mop. It's
a banger. Snap, he's got lots of riz. There you go,
Marry and Rocky River. She's a she's an abro sexual.

(02:39:33):
Sometimes she likes the boys. She likes the pole and
the hole. If you late to the party, you're going
to f a f o. All right, that's fun, that's
really so, that's fun. Just as dumb there as it

(02:39:53):
is anywhere else. Hell, what's the different between the rapture
and alien abductions. Don't people who I believe in the
rapture believe that we are aliens sent to Earth for
soul incarnation. I've never heard that people in the rapture,
I think just believe that if you you're a really
good person, you get assumed into Heaven, leaving your clothes behind.

(02:40:18):
Oh again, it's all made up, so I guess you
can make up whatever rules you want. But you know,
I don't know. When I was at the you know,
we're going to this adult Halloween party on Saturday, and
this past Saturday it was at the same house. These
people had this big blake house and all the kids

(02:40:40):
and a lot of fun and little goodie bags things
like that. And my daughter walks up with the what
we grew up calling Chinese finger trap. Yep, yep, it's
not called that anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:40:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:40:53):
I was thinking that as I'm looking at it, because
she comes up and he says like, hey, it's like
gonna you know, I I wonder if we still call
them that. I mean, you don't see them that frequently.
And I go oh, Chinese finger trap, And then as
I said, I was like, oh, I would imagine it's
still called probably, but I just hadn't seen one in
so long. You just don't say the thing that accompanied

(02:41:13):
it anymore. I wouldn't imagine, Like you don't talk about
playing a joke and doing something in someone's coke like
I think you probably would lead or fell out. When
we went to see Chappelle over the summer, he just
did a throwaway aside about Ppe and your coke, and
I lost it. I mean I was high as balls too,
but it was just like I didn't see it coming. Oh,

(02:41:36):
he always makes the joke. He's like, I'm married to
an Asian woman. I want, yeah, something like that. But yeah,
I was like, uh oh, look a bamboo digit prison.
Like what are we supposed to call You can't call
him Chinese finger traps? Oh my kid got a bamboo
digit prison. But it's funny though, because those things that

(02:41:56):
were like uh uh if you feel like kind of
history and they were like, oh, they were originally legit
used to squeeze prisoner's fingers right to try to get
confessions or whatever else. It was called a janji and
it was a Chinese instrument for squeezing fingers, and then

(02:42:17):
it got turned into this thing. I was like, what
other is that the only torture device in history that
became a toy. That's a tough leap, right, like what
let be fun as a toy, Like it was a
former Chinese torture device, now it's a toy, Like it
only worked on three people in the history of the product.

(02:42:38):
It was like they were like, yeah, they were yanking
against each other and yank and yank, and all of
a sudden they pushed back towards each other. That finger
popped out and they were like, oh no, but the
torture version, it would have been fixed. I have to think, right,
like maybe screws in it or something. And I know,
but I'm trying to work through who looked at that

(02:42:58):
and said that would make you know, if we if
we modify, that'd be a great toy for kids. No,
cap no, you know, like, ah, hey, we used to
drill holes in the head to let out the bad humors.
Trepanation was the law of the land, and then the
hand drill just became a top. Hey you got a

(02:43:19):
hole in your head? Hey, what if we spun that
around and made it gaily colored. You know sand. We
joke all the time about the toys that get nominated
for and inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame out
there in Rochester. You know, sand is in the Toy
Hall of Fame. But two hundred years ago they were

(02:43:40):
feeding it to people to make them heavier before they
drowned them. Right, So somewhere along obviously that's a naturally
occurring substance. But somebody was like, what if we just
let kids play with this? Hey, maybe we should stop
drowning people with this. So I can't imagine the bamboo
digit prison was the only thing that a torture device

(02:44:04):
that became a toy, But maybe so, I don't know.
But as I said it out a lot, I was like, oh,
I catch myself. Some people complain that we're too sensitive,
and my thought is always, I know what you mean,
but you never who cares if you call it something else.
I think there is a little bit too sensitive for sure. Well,

(02:44:25):
we definitely, we've definitely led up to that. But I
catch myself, like I'll say, I'll still want to say
sitting Indian style all the time, Like I know, criss
cross apple sauce is what kids say that, Yeah, but
Indian like, it doesn't to me. It doesn't seem that
I'm saying anything wrong, you know, I understand why. I
guess people could be pissed about it, and I don't
say it, but that one I catch myself all the time,

(02:44:45):
so I'd be like I was just sitting over there,
like on the floor. It is Indian style. I call
it the indigenous lap lattice. In my yoga class, she goes,
all right, now sit, I go, do you mean indigenous
lap lattice? Will they say Chris cross apple sauce in
a class like that? Now you know what they're doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(02:45:06):
chriss cross apple sauce. Which that's what I know. It's
like a kindergarten thing, you know, So I don't know
toys and hey, listen, the squirt gun came from waterboarding.
I think that's historically accurate. Sounds like it would be.

Speaker 6 (02:45:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:45:21):
They've announced more people who are going to be guests
and presenters at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions,
which is a week from Saturday. By the way, it's
not far off out in La The Killers Jim Carrey,
Janelle Monet Chapel, Roan Donald Glover, all of whom will
be there. What an extravaganza? Does it say what they're doing?

(02:45:44):
You can always tell when it's not in Cleveland, because
they get like a tenth of the people to come
to Cleveland. In La everybody lives there, you know what
I mean? Hey, could you could you drive half an
hour to come to the wherever the hell it is?
What's that? Does it say what it is they're doing? No,
they're just rolling out this list. Yeah, yeah, they kind
of the initial list of presenters. They already had Brian Adams,

(02:46:10):
Gina Shock, who I think was the drummer of the
Go Gos. They got in Go Gos were inducted. Last
time it was here in Cleveland, Drew Barrymore inducted them.
Jesus that Jim. That picture of Jim Carrey, he's looking old.
Huh he is old. Guy's pushing seventy. How Yeah, it's
weird to see him looking like that. I guess I
just had not seen a picture of him in a while.
He's sixty three. I shouldn't say he's pushing seventy. I mean,

(02:46:30):
he's not like I don't know if you're on I'm
on people. Is the picture I'm seeing of him. He's
standing in front of like a America's Got Talent sign
or something. Jesus, he looks like he's a hundred. Well
he grows the beard out and sometimes you know saw
him last he does. He's the bad guy in those
Sonic movies. So yeah, Jim Carrey will be there, and
you know he'll still want to ask you a question.

(02:46:53):
Do you have a mint? Perhaps some butt knock? Joe
Perry from Aerosmith, Mick fleet they're talking about Fleetwood mac
fiftieth anniversary reunion tour for rumors. Don't do it. It'd
be great. I mean, Christy mcvee is dead, but I
can't do it.

Speaker 3 (02:47:13):
You can't do it without her. After Stevie kicked the
Lindsey Buckingham out of the band.

Speaker 2 (02:47:21):
No, no, they wouldn't bring back Who was the girl
they had for a hot minute in the nineties, Becca
Bramlett's bringing Becka Bramlett. She was keeping them all together. No,
Christy McVie was I think the.

Speaker 3 (02:47:32):
One thing I don't I don't know, I don't like it.
She was the one that pushed for it, and I
know those they were such crappy, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:47:41):
But I'm such a big fan of all of them
that i would take it. Oh I know I would too,
and I would go absolutely, But still I don't. I
don't want it.

Speaker 4 (02:47:48):
I feel like.

Speaker 2 (02:47:50):
Not without her. I guess we know who's gonna replace
Chris Cornell in Soundgarden. It's going to be Taylor Momson.
Really yeah. Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, Jerry Cantrell and
Taylor Momson have been rehearsing with Matt Cameron. Wow. Yeah.
Kim Pale, by the way, has a memoir coming out

(02:48:11):
next year. There is nothing wrong with Taylor Momson covering
those parts. Man, she is fantastic. She's great. Man. Early on,
when you were like, you know Cindy Lou who has
got a rock band, people were kind of like, what,
but she has more than proven herself. Oh yeah. They
opened that ac DC Stadium tour and they can hold
the stage. Legit. Chops Chapelarone will induct Cindy Lauper. Listen,

(02:48:37):
Chaplarone is having her moment. This is one of those
pop stars who is not going to be around in
ten years. So I don't have a It's fine she
should strike while the Iron's hot. Bad Company has said
that they will perform. We were talking about that. Simon
Kirk and Paul Rodgers are the only two original ones left,
so they're gonna perform. This will live stream Onney Plus,

chop it up and run it on ABC Network. That
won't happen until New Year's Day, but they already announced
back in Brandy Carlisle. Letterman is going to induct Warren Zevon,
Elton John and Flee and Iggy Pop and Killer Mike.
They were like best friends, right Uh Letterman and Warren Zon.

is underrated, even though he's getting a lot of accolades.
Twenty one pilots. You said, Killer Mike, Killer Mike. I
wonder if he'll bring in outcast. Oh maybe Quest Leve
will be there, Missy Elliott, Maxwell, Salton, Peppa and Warren
Zevon are getting the Musical Influence Award. I couldn't remember

(02:49:45):
what that was called. I feel like that's what Judas
Priest got in under right, They didn't like straight out
induct him. They gave him like the this award, the
Musical Influence Award. Isn't that something any one of these
people could get. That's why they're going into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. This year we induct someone
who has This year, we're.

Speaker 15 (02:50:07):
Pleased to induct an artist who has inspired no one
to take up music.

Why there's so much echo on this, I don't want
all that. Hello, there we go.

Speaker 15 (02:50:18):

never inspired anyone to pick up a microphone or a
musical instrument.

Did you say Quest Love was going to be there
to Quest? So I'm wondering.

Speaker 3 (02:51:35):
See now I'm all mixed up because Killer Mike is
from Atlanta, and so is Outcast, so that's where I'm going.

Speaker 2 (02:51:41):
