Speaker 11 (00:44):
It's the Allen Cox Show on one hundred point seven
double U M m as.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Oh what's going on? Good afternoon, everybody. It's been a
weird week around here, hasn't it? Sure has? It feels
like a long time since we've been back in the box.
I'm doing those shows at Flannery's for the Guardians. Run,
Oh Guardians, what a game? What a season? What an
amazing What a run?

Speaker 6 (01:21):
What a run?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
A run?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
What a runose guys? Congrats? I saw your Yankees eliminated
the Red Sox. Ye how about that, Well you want
to talk about rivalries. Oh that's good. Gravy, brutal, freaking
out or matter about that? Than they are Bill Bird
doing the ri Odd Comedy Festival. Yeah, hey, good afternoon.

(01:46):
How are you. My name is Allen Cox, Rob Anthony's
right there. What's up?

Speaker 12 (01:49):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
And if you would like to join us, we would
love to have you. The phone numbers in here? Do
we have a screener? Are you screening? I think he's
here to text? All right? We might have somebody answering
the phones.

Speaker 11 (02:01):
M M.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
You can test that theory two one six, five seven
eight one double oh seven or eight hundred and three
four eight one double oh seven. I just said theory,
and apparently my phone thought I said Siri, and so
it started blinking and flashing. And I don't ever use that.
Do you ever use? Do you ever talk to your phone? Sometimes?
I don't do that. I most I ever do is

(02:25):
like talk to text, or maybe I'll talk into Google
Search or something like that, but I just don't use
I don't use that Siri function people I know who
use it. It's very similar to like if you have
an Alexa at home and occasionally you'll ask at something
and they'll go, here's what I got from Google, Like, yeah,
I could have done that. I thought maybe you had
some you know, deep mind, huge data set learning information

(02:49):
that you could vomit back out to me, all in
the service of my convenience. That's what all this is
for theoretically, all this technology before, of course it murders
all of us. It's good for just having fun and
doing things. If you want to text in here three five,
one nine two, if you go to Alancoxshow dot com,
you can email me from there. And if you want

(03:11):
to watch the program, you know our usual YouTubers they
have they've been kind of is stymied the right word
for this week, Rob. We haven't had any visual component
unless you were out with us. But we didn't have
any video component to the show Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday because
we were doing these very short shows a part to
the Guardians game down here at Flannery's a couple of

(03:32):
blocks away. And so I have to think that the
people who normally consume this nonsense via the youtubes, they
must have been beside themselves. Oh, they're all so amazingly understanding.
It's it's it's it's a talent. I know they really are.
Listen and if you're ever in there for any lengthy
period of time and you read that chat, it's uh boy,

(03:56):
it's a lot of people having fun in their own
way and un ud standing. Really is it? Really is
the key that locks unlocked so much, isn't it? Blah
blah blah. Listen. If I sound distracted, I won't, littie
I am. I'm keeping myself laser focused on this ditty
sentencing situation. They're gonna sentence this guy. They just got

(04:18):
back from lunch at two pm. They said, two pm Eastern.
Rob the judge adjourned everybody for lunch about forty five
minutes ago. A forty five minute lunch break in New York.
Are you kidding me? That's barely good.

Speaker 11 (04:33):
You know, I.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Needed the first couple decades of my adult life to
teach myself to slow down when I eat because of
how little time I had to eat in high school.
You know, people develop all kinds of poor habits eating
and otherwise, but we had so little time to get
to lunch, get some food each your lunch, get back

(04:56):
to class. At my Catholic high school, that for the many,
many years after that, friends of mine and girlfriends and
wives would come. If they're like, boy, you eat fast,
I go. I'm trying not to. But you know, I
came up at junior high in high school where we
had no you had to scarf your food down. And

(05:17):
I'm pretty good about it now. But a forty five
minute lunch break in New York, give me a break.
What if I want to go across the street and
you know, because listen, everybody's adjourneying at the same time.
Theoretically everybody's going to get their lunch from that. You
stand in line, you gotta do all kind of stuff.
You got to figure out what you want to have.
You know, the possibilities are endless there. You're in midtown

(05:39):
wherever they're doing this, and you're going, well, let's see,
do I want to tuna sandwich? Do I want to
You're done at forty three minutes, sir? It is October.
Maybe a hearty soup forty two minutes. Maybe a mulligatani, mmm, mulligatani.
Maybe a jumbalaya. Ooh, jumbalaya maybe, who knows? So those

(05:59):
are to order and that's gonna take eleven more minutes.
Oh golly, Okay, so the time is really ticking away.
What about soup in a bread bowl? What about that?
How about it to go sandwich that's already made. M
I mean, that would be better on time. But then
I got to figure out where I'm gonna eat it.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
One.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I want to sit outside on a bench. It's very
nice out today, you know here in northeast Ohio upwards
of eighty degrees. I'm not sure what it is there
in New York, but I have to imagine that it's
probably unseasonably warm. And I'm gonna sit on a bench
and eat that pre made sandwich.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
See, I don't know because all they have left is
egg salad. So now I like egg salad. You're talking
to the right guy here with egg salad. But it's
tough to eat on the move. Well, here's the problem too.
When I eat egg salad, I don't I don't shell
the eggs I like. I'm I'm very texture oriented when
I eat my food. And so yes, I love egg salad.

(06:54):
And for me, it's much easier to make than for
some other people who make it, who are much more
painstaking in their approach. I just crush up the eggs.
I leave the shells on, crush them in there. It's
good roffage I've found. Sure you'll get that occasional shard
that will puncture eu esophagus, but that's just the price

(07:14):
of enjoying a delicious homemade lunch. Is not shelling those eggs.
And of course, hard boiled eggs the most healthy way
to consume your eggs. Now, don't ask the way I
consume my heart boiled eggs. That's for me to know
and my physician to figure out how to deal with

(07:35):
the aftermath. Nevertheless, forty five minutes is all I'm trying
to say. Not a long time for the court to
adjourn in the ditty situation. Now, as you might suspect,
I don't know if you've been keeping your eye on
the ditty thing. It's been intermittent at best for me.
Prosecutors they want no less than eleven years in federal prison,

(07:57):
and of course his defense team their role, and his
own lawyer was crying, oh, he's been such a charitable man,
and he was I think she actually said he was
voted the men'swear creator of the year or something. I mean,
they're throwing everything against the wall, because that's all you've
got to do in that situation. He jumped into it

(08:20):
now too, Like you could tell he's freaked out, like
he's like pleased with some leniency. Of course, if you're
looking at eleven years in prison, I mean he'll be out,
and they give him eleven to be out in three.
But you know his defense, they're like, we don't want
him to do it any more than like a year,
and so that's what's gonna happen. Well, I don't think
that's going to happen either, But this is just a
guy who was trying to have some fun morning.

Speaker 13 (08:42):
Him and the dude acknowledge that he received a lot
of materials ahead of sentencing today, including a letter that
Combs wrote to the judge, including.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Some genetic materials a Jim, I don't know what that means.

Speaker 13 (08:53):
I'm pleading for mercy, and also a video that the
defense is hoping to play today showing Comb's playing with
his children and giving motivational speeches. The defense has also
been highlighting a course that cone'es taught behind bars to inmates.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I mean, does that do anything, by the way, videos
of you playing with your kids and motivational speeches. I mean,
you can do all of those things right. Most people,
just human beings, can be simultaneously unbelievably depraved and unbelievably
you know, generous and do all kinds of nice things,
and so stands for reason Diddy would be one of

(09:32):
those guys. I don't know that anything has to do
with that. I mean, it's all kind of cosmetic. Oh
look at this guy. He's playing with his kids, and
now again that would take up a lot of time.
He's got a lot of them, Yeah, or am I
thinking to somebody else? I think he has a few.
I don't know how many kids he has. But now
he has spent a year in that detention center in Brooklyn.

(09:52):
So if they gave him fourteen months, they would that
allows for time served, which means he would just do
two more months. So obviously, like that's what the defense wants.
But they saw that video and then the judge said, Okay,
we're gonna recess for lunch, and everybody go get something
to eat. I would recommend the uh chowder in the

(10:15):
bread bowl. But I don't know that he gave them
any directions for lunch rather than please don't discuss the
case amongst yourselves. I don't know. Can you imagine you're
stuck he has six kids. I'm sorry, you're stuck in
prison doing a hard time for something, trying to maybe
improve your life after you get out. And then all
of a sudden, you got to sit in classes with

(10:36):
Diddy like He's like, I'm gonna teach you guys something
you imagine that you're like said, They're like, come on, man,
I just want to do the rest of these eighteen
months and get the hell out of here. Yeah, I
don't want to listen to did he teach me anything?
I'm gonna teach you how to do a terrible collaboration
with Jimmy Page for Yeah a movie and uh, don't
sleep on the video. By the way, boy, imagine Sean

(11:00):
Combs walks in and he goes today, I'm gonna teach you, guys.
I'm ready to blow your minds. Imagine vodka but made
out of grapes. Oh my god, I can't even imagine.
But boy, twenty years ago, twenty five years ago, that
was the height of innovation. Was now they're making walks
for rock. I remember back in the day, so Rock
was a flex if he even knew what it was.
And now they're making freaking vodka to cardboardvoka. I already

(11:21):
goddamn thing the Ellon.

Speaker 8 (11:24):
Car Show on one hundreds.

Speaker 11 (11:29):
Who needs broadcasting awards?

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I have sounded by a voice ball when you've.

Speaker 8 (11:35):
Won World Sexiest and five years in a.

Speaker 14 (11:38):
Row, and is early cockbout one hundred point seven wmms.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Hell exciting him? Job? We're expected you see this cruise
it's gonna leave from Cleveland. How about this Live Sweetest?

(12:16):
It'll only stop at US ports? Right? Okay? Uh, the
American Patriots off a new one Andy passenger ship will
cruise the Great Lakes next year. They already have these.
There are already Great Lakes city cruises, right. I mean

(12:37):
it's not exactly floating down the rhone. It's more like, hey,
would you like to see Buffalo and Cleveland by water?
Hey listen, if it pumps money into the city, nobody's
going to argue that. But I thought we already have these,
don't we already have Great Lakes cruises? I'm sure maybe

(13:01):
the other ones. Maybe the other ones go to the
Canadian cities too, So this one you wouldn't need a passport.
Maybe that's their hook. You don't have to go through customs,
you don't have to worry about not being able to
be brought back into the country. I guess so American
Cruise Lines this company they're going to be. They were
touting the fact it was a full tout rob They

(13:24):
were tauting left and right. Jeez, that they're going to
be doing a Great Lakes tour. That will hey, everyone
to go on a Great Lakes tour that cuts out
all the amazing Canadian cities. Well, now we've got one
for you. Anyway. It'll start in Cleveland and it will
end in Milwaukee. Another one starts in Cleveland and in Syracuse. See,

(13:50):
my thought is, I have to think that people who
are at least have spent an appreciable amount of time
in the Great Lakes region maybe have already been to
these cities. I mean, have you ever been to Syracuse
or Milwaukee? I have, yes, as have I and so boy,
you come to the conclusion maybe the cruise maybe the
secret sass here is the cruise keeps you at arms

(14:12):
lengths from these cities, and the again cruises, there's nothing
cheap about them, right. The nine day cruise from Cleveland
starts at about nine thousand dollars a person, and so
the cruising experience, that's why it's always so fascinating to me.
I've been in probably three cruises, and that's plenty. But

(14:35):
the people who love cruises like they go on them
all the time, and there are people who will take
their life savings and just live on a cruise ship,
which always m counterintuitive to me. Obviously, you know, the
older kind of the boomers, that's a generation that's going
to have that kind of money by and large. But
I would also think in the twenty first century that

(14:56):
that's the demographic most likely to get dry by some
cruise born illness, you know, through catch twenty two. But
you know, let's say that you're starting in Milwaukee and
you go, oh my god, Cleveland, you kid me either
got the Rock and or Hall of Fame, Cleveland Museum
of Art, right world renown. Yeah, and you know, ooh,

(15:17):
can we get off the boat and go into Amish country?
I bet you could. I bet you can bring back
some cookies or some of that Amish weed. And so
you know, maybe you go up to the up I
don't know, but boy, they were touting this left and right,
A full tout a full town, A full she's full
tout boogie is probably the headline that they would have written.

(15:40):
But the Great Lakes Cruises that they're going to be
starting out of Cleveland next year, by the way, a
one hundred and thirty passenger ship. That doesn't sound big
to me if you've ever been on one of those. Now, granted,
obviously you're gonna have a much bigger cruise if it's
like you're going to Barbados or something like that. This
is geographically speaking, relatively and fine space. But that doesn't

(16:01):
sound like a lot of people. So would it be
better or worse that it's kind of more for lack
of a better word, and intimate situation, it's only you
and one hundred twenty nine other people. Is that too many?
Too many people? Yeah, one hundred and twenty nine too many? Okay,
one hundred and twenty eight. I guess wa wait you oh,
so you'd want to be on the thing solo? You

(16:23):
would want Look at me, I'm decomped out. I'm decompton out. Yeah, okay,
I mean I don't know the first thing about you know,
we were talking about what people name their boats the
other day, the nautical type stuff.

Speaker 8 (16:39):
But.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Uh, what was the good what was the oh file
at show? That was, yeah, like a fish filet. So yeah,
there you go. But I have no interest or acumen
at all in driving a boat. I wouldn't even know
how that worked out. But if you want to see
your naughty boy out there, do you know the great lakes?

(17:03):
I might out there at the helm of ship happens?
Is that what it's called you drive a boat, isn't it.
I mean they say steer, but if you're the captain,
you're driving a boat, right, I don't know it's that.
When you said it, it sounded weird to me. I mean,
what else would you do, I don't know, captaining it
you drive a boat.

Speaker 12 (17:22):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
My wife grew up in the state of Michigan and
they're like, every kid has to get like a boater
safety license because there's so many lakes. So we didn't
do that in Illinois. Everybody's got in Michigan, they at
least back then they had to get their boater safety certification.
But you've got if you're driving a boat, that's what

(17:43):
it would be called. What you're at the helm? Right,
you got to know your port. You got to know
your starboard, you got to know your your your your forecastle.
If you're on a larger boat, it would be called
driving a boat. Driving a boat, yeah, okay, I know boat.
He is the broader verb, right, boat, But you are

(18:04):
driving the boat boating, boating. I'm out here boating. I'm
behind the throttle. Hoy hoy hoe. But yeah, driving a boat.
You know, well, you know how some people say driving
a car. See, I use the verb version of that
as well. When I have to go somewhere, I say,
I'll be caring for the afternoon. If you need me,

(18:27):
I'll be on my hands free cellular device, so I'll
be I'll be caring all afternoon. Right, the new Great
Lakes Cruise only going to city's stateside along the shore.
We'll be leaving from Cleveland in twenty twenty six. And
if you look to your left, you'll see beautiful Erie, Pennsylvania.

(18:48):
There's Erie, the gateway to Toronto. We're gonna Buffalo, I guess, yeah,
pass right there, head up to Buffalo, Erie, Pennsylvania. Now, strangely,
I don't think I've ever been to Erie, and that's
just up the road. I know that I've ever been
to Erie, Pennsylvania. I lived in Pennsylvania. Drive somewhere I stopped,

(19:11):
got something to eat, I think in Erie. But that's it.
I mean, I know people when you were a car,
your car all the way to Erie, Pa and stopped
to get something to eat. Yeah, yeah, I mean, ever
so often you'll see like some of the smaller cruise
ships in the flats right there docking along the the

(19:34):
Cayhaga River.

Speaker 15 (19:35):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
There for people who love docking. Uh, there's plenty of
that in a lake front city for people who like docking. Rob,
there's a lot of nautical opportunities for them to do this.

Speaker 16 (19:48):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
There is a nine day trip up through the Upper
Peninsula though, the up there of Michigan where you know,
you go to Mackinaw Island. You can't even have a
car there. You gotta you gotta walk around on a
you gotta walk around on a bike or whatever. So
again you have to see, boating is a verb, biking

(20:12):
is a verb. Why isn't caring a verb? Yeah, before
everybody points the laughs, why isn't caring verb? You tell me,
I don't have to tell you. You tell me, Alan, Who's
gonna win, Yankees or Blue Jays. God willing, my Toronto
Blue Jays will win against those damnable New York Yankees.

(20:32):
I hope so. But I'll tell you what. That that
kid that pitched last night twelve strikeouts, he eight? Alf Schlippler.
Was that the guy's name. I don't know that that
was his first name. Oh, but I do believe that
was his last name. Okay, they call him the schlit Rattler,
Cam Schlittler. Yeah, yeah, he killed it. Yeah, frush, I

(20:53):
mean just shut him out. Yeah yeah yeah. And that's
that's their you know, that's not their ace, you know.
So I believe the Yankees are going to give them
a run for their money. I'm sure they will. Listen.
You don't get to this point, uh dealing with any scrubs,
but listen, Vlad Guerrero Junior got him on my Blue Jays.

(21:14):
So I'm going to be caring to Michigan tomorrow afternoon.
My daughter has a performance at Michigan State tomorrow night.
But I will be listening to that Yankees Blue Jays
game while I'm caring the Junkies to the Mint, the
Junky George Donkeys. Yeah, you went to the game yesterday,

(21:35):
didn't you like from Parma said that you ran into
his wife? Yeah, I went, I went with his wife.
Oh you went with his wife? I did. Yeah, I.

Speaker 11 (21:45):
Had.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
You know, I figure you could help me out with
this one a little bit. So if uh, let's say, uh,
here's someplace and someone says, hey, Alan, you're not going
to believe this. Let's say you're someplace and someone said
frequently someplace and they go, hey, hey, I got this
extra ticket to something. Would you like to go?

Speaker 15 (22:07):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
What does that imply? Implies are going to give you
a ticket because they have an extra one. That's what
I thought. Mm hm, Oh these were the people from Flannery's. Yeah, yeah,
and you said you couldn't go or something. Well, this
young woman who took a photo of me, this woman
named Ashley, who I've met before, because she was showing
me old pictures over the years that she's taken with me.
And that was fun to kind of dory and gray

(22:30):
myself there in front of everyone. Nevertheless, she's I thought
she asked if I had an extra ticket, and I said, oh, no,
thank It was loud. I thought she was asking me.
Apparently she was asking me if I would like their
extra ticket. Correct, Yeah, I wasn't going anyway, but I
misunderstood her. But she went to you then. So I
was wrapping up all this stuff broadcast put it anyway, and

(22:50):
she asked me if I wanted to go, and I'm like,
you know what, we had just talked about potentially buying
standing room tickets, right, So she says, we have an
extra ticket, do you want to go? I think like
you think? So I'm like, you know what, Yes, I'm
gonna go. And on the walkover because again I'm an
idiot or I'm polite, I'm gonna go with the ladder

(23:10):
because it makes me feel better, I said what do
I owe you for the ticket? And she said eighty
five dollars? And I said, do you have venmo? I
didn't know. I didn't know what. Well, a nice guy.
What's the matter with that? Well, I would have just
bought the standing room ticket for fifty bucks. Oh, I

(23:31):
see what you mean? Yeah, what were the good seats? No,
I was during the bleach. I was in the bleachers, like, yeah,
back to the scoreboard. It was. It was it was fine, listen,
I'm going to be down. It was great. Yeah. And
then Jess, another big listener, She's met you a million times.
She sent me a message on Instagram and said she
was there. She was going to stop by to see us,
but she couldn't get in, so she told me, yeah,

(23:53):
I hate you. So she told me to come over
and say hello. So I did. I walked over to
the corner bar. I had a beer with her and
chatted up a little bit, and then I split in
the eighth because I had a feeling where that was going.
Oh yeah, I was watching at home. Oh such a drag. Yeah,
it really was such a drag. Yeah, but yeah it was. Listen.
I half joke about paying for the ticket, but it was.

(24:16):
It was surprising. But you offered you are being a
nice guy. Well, I wouldn't say that. I offered, Oh,
you said how much do I owe you? Well? How much? Right?

Speaker 11 (24:25):
Like?

Speaker 2 (24:25):
How much do I owe you? And I was expecting, Oh,
I already got the tickets already bout you know what
I mean. Yeah, but you know what happens when you assume.
You can't assume that. Well, but you assumed, just like
I did when someone said I have an extra ticket,
do you want to go? But that was before you
said you asked them how much if you had stayed stump.
But the whole time, I feel like that would have
made me a jerk if I didn't say something. So

(24:47):
see this is again, this is where I'm always in
my own head. But then she could have chased you
down at the end of the game if she couldn't
find you. I feel like, where did Rob go? He
said he was going to have a pish Yeah, and
you're running across rally alley in a zig zag pattern
so they can't get a beat one right, all right?
And I bought around for you. No, literally, good for you, Oh,

(25:10):
good for you.

Speaker 15 (25:12):
Hey, guys, I am not a squeamish person at all,
but the thought of chopping on eggshells just has me
sitting at work a bit nauseous.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
Now.

Speaker 15 (25:22):
I think I was traumatized by my not much of
a cook mother, and every time she made eggs there
were eggshells in there. It was just a lovely little surprise.
It's completely disgusting. I think it is a guess.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Moll I mentioned that when I make eggs salad, I
don't shell the hard boiled eggs. Rob, I just crushed
them up and I put them in there so when
I'm eating my egg salad sandwich, it's a nice little
treat and, by the way, a fantastic deterrent for anyone
who wants to steal the egg salad sandwiches out of
our communal fridge here at iHeart Cleveland. M yum me listen.

(25:58):
People always talk about how they have to walk on eggshells.
What's the matter with eating eggshells? Matter with chomping on
eggshells like he described? There? Doesn't that sound delicious spread
between a couple of pieces of bread? Mmmmm mmm mmm
mmmm that's right.

Speaker 17 (26:16):
Yeah, Hey, Jimbo from Alan Mebordo. And when you and
Rob are out, you know, I don't get too angry
about it. I look at it as an opportunity to
find something else to listen to, you know, maybe maybe
something entertaining. Like you said, there's a lot of shows

(26:37):
out there, but like you've also said, they're pretty much
all garbage. I mean, there's just they don't have that
tightly worded script that you would Rob.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
So well before every show.

Speaker 17 (26:52):
They're not covering important topics like you can't copulate with
football and when you sit down you could apparently poop
ampe simultaneous. And I've done my research. Not a single
other show is eliciting the opinions.

Speaker 8 (27:12):
Of one davidly Rock, not one.

Speaker 7 (27:14):
Can you believe that?

Speaker 17 (27:16):
So I guess I just have to stick with this
dog and Pony show. Could you hit the post on
I hate myself for loving you?

Speaker 8 (27:25):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
That's a good one myself. I haven't heard that one
in a long time. Well, a lot of hundred poets
of a table of us Ridley want to hear from
Joe Jeff pride of the garden stake. Hey, Google won't
be unvetted for an over thirty years or so, but
check out Cameltoe and uh boy, you gotta find wear

(27:48):
some pants, sug around up the damn Yeah, I can't
do that. I got nothing for that, thank you, though, man. Yeah,
Catoe into it. Well that's kind of where we start
and end right with Jone jets the camel Tooe and
out of reverence, by the way, not out of even

(28:08):
out of mockery or parody, out of reverence. But yeah,
all of Jimbo's points he's out there in Alamgordo listening
on the iHeartRadio app and all those points are well made.

Speaker 8 (28:22):
Right.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
I worked tirelessly rob over the script for this program. Yeah,
and we don't get a lot of time to rehearse
pre show. But Dave, are you prepped for the show today? Okay? Good?
And yeah, thank you, Jimbo. I appreciate it. Jone Jet

(28:46):
and the Black Arts. By the way, I thought she
went up, doesn't she do?

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Um?

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah? I thought that was written to dat Huh. I
thought that was in the intro and she does it
in the middle somewhere. Whoa, oh, this is dumb?

Speaker 4 (29:13):
Why whoa?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
J This is early Joan Jet or this was down
the road with her. I don't I Hate Myself for
Loving You because a lot of her big hits were
cover songs, and she kind of got away with it
because it's the novelty to it. I think she doesn't here.

(29:51):
Nineteen eighty eight, Oh, this is off a bad reputation,
all right, you get the yeah, nineteen eighty eight bad reputation,
all right, that's the one with the queens in the front,
the quee Yeah. And also eighty eight, if you remember

(30:15):
that hate Myself for Loving You video, that's when they
tried to kind of glam her up. It was the eighties,
but she must have hated that. I mean, judging from
how jon Jet has kind of conducted herself for a
long time. You know, she was really at the very
beginning of jon Jet coming out of the Runaways. You know,
they were like a punk band, so she was trying
to be like a punky gal. And when Hate Myself

(30:38):
for Loving You came out, they were trying to glam
her up a little bit for bad reputation for that video.
And I always thought jone Jet was super cute. You know,
there are a lot of heavy metal fans who, you know,
their own prejudices aside when they found out that Rob
Halford was a gay man, and they were Judas Priest

(30:59):
fans some people that drove him crazy. I'm a huge
Jewice Priest fan. I couldn't care less that Rob Halford's gay.
But Joan Jet also a gay woman. But you know,
a woman in rock and roll, they weren't going to
obviously promote her that way. But remember back in the day,
she had like the shaved blonde, she had like the
super close cropped bleach blonde hair. But late eighties, early nineties,

(31:21):
they were really trying to glam her up. Must have
driven her nuts. I had a crush on jone Jet.
I mean, he's a gen x kid man. I had
a big crush on jone Jets. Speaking of Rob Halford,
did you hear the remake of War Pigs he did
with Ozzie I did two weeks before he died. Ozzie
cut that, Yeah, and it's crazy that he still sounds
as good as he does. And it's the beginning obviously
that he did, because you could tell they used the

(31:42):
original lyrics in the middle. Well in all the beginning
is all those bands now are releasing the songs that
they did, the Black Sabbath covers and things like that, right,
the charity version of War Pigs with Rob Halford and
Ozzie Slag, which is that black message minds of destruction construction.

(32:13):
I'm gonna tell you my big gripe with war Pigs
is you can't rhyme masses with masses. It's a cheats
I don't get right out the gate that to me,
that takes it from an A to a B plus.
But they are uh uh uh though they used a
different version of the word on masses and masses two

(32:33):
completely different things. No, but they sound exactly. I said,
it doesn't matter what the meaning of the word is.
They want to use asses or gases or passes as
a rock and roll band. They couldn't talk about lasses,
no looking at the asses of the lasses.

Speaker 8 (32:52):
Glasses. The Car Show on one.

Speaker 18 (32:58):
Of its buzzer buzzmms.

Speaker 9 (33:06):
Cleveland Allen, you have been described by your enemies as evil, insane, manipulative.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Who are you.

Speaker 8 (33:16):
Call the Alan Cox Show?

Speaker 11 (33:17):
Two one six, five seven eight one double oh seven
or one eight hundred three four eight one.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
Double oh seven.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Three five one nine two want to text me? Black
Label Society added to Sonic Temple. I'll tell you what, man.
I like Sonic Temple every year. I don't always usually
go for the full weekend, and this year I just
got jammed up schedule wise. But they announced that the
dates and started bread crumbing vans out and they were

(33:59):
going heavy, heavy, I mean the first you know, sure,
my Chemical Romance is one of the headliners or whatever,
but they're going heavy into like death core and you know,
Dying Fetus and Behemoth they're going to play and Cradle
of Filth and all this, and that They've just announced
a bunch of other bands that are going to play
and it's like the late nineties all over again, which

(34:22):
scratches me right where I itch Stone Temple Pilots is
going to play Sonic Temple. No, they aren't. The remaining
guys with some other dude aren't playing that show. That's
one band, dude, the current, the current iteration of Stone
Temple Pilots. I'm glad I got to see them with
Scott Wild. They had Chester Bennington. Of course they're over

(34:44):
too boy with. They've had a guy named Jeff Goot
with them for a while. I think that he has
been their frontman for a minute now. It wasn't like
an American idol guy HL was, but a lot of
these bands that's like where they go shopping now. I mean,
that's how Queen got Adam Lambert. You know you've you've
got a smorgas board of good singers. You don't. You
can watch your television and there's your audition. They go, oh,

(35:05):
that guy's gotta look Stone Temple Pilots, Black Label Society,
Seven Dust Pod, Saliva and Soil from Chicago, Illinois. Remember Soil?
They had like one song. I like those guys, but
they had like one song. So anyway, Sonic Temple. We
gave away some passes when they first announced it. I'm
sure we'll give away some more in the months to come.

(35:29):
But I'm liking how this is shaping up. Boy a
ton of bands they have announced, but again, a lot
of those original bands they announced are heavy, heavy bands
like Cattle Decapitation is gonna play and so I just
I could not be happier about how Sonic Temple is
shaping up.

Speaker 19 (35:48):
Now.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yes, in the middle of all that, there's something for everybody.
They will have Mike chem is one of their headliners.
But it is coming back down there in Columbus in
May next spring, the fourteenth through the seventeenth, and they're
going to keep announcing more bands. So you take umbrage
with Stone Temple Pilots very much. So now, why is

(36:11):
that there are plenty of other bands that have been
in that position and have kept going. Like I mean, listen,
I think the only thing that made the Lincoln Park
thing okay was the fact that it was a woman.
Like they changed the band is different, right, This is
they're touring on what STP was and I don't like it.
What do you mean they're trying to be what Stone
Temple Pilots were without Scott Wyland. Still the other three guys,

(36:33):
I mean, the Delo brothers are always STP. Scott Wyland
obviously was a very charismatic guy. But as much as
like you and I know those dudes' names, Yeah, I
think most people would have a hard time naming anybody
else other than Scott Wyland and STV I see, you
know what I mean. I feel like certain bands when
that happens, like go away well Rob, this is an

(36:53):
opportunity for Jeff Goot to become a household name. Yeah,
been trying for a long time. Yeah, he's been with
them a minut Yeah, I know. I'll tell you the
band that I wish had kept going and I had
had interviewed the our friend rich Patrick from Filter was
in a band with the Delao brothers called Army of
Anyone and they did one album and I don't know
if it was like a sav in between Scott Wiland

(37:15):
and some other stuff. Ray Luzier, who drums for Corn Now,
was the drummer on that album and I love that.
I thought that was so great. I was like, boy,
if they keep this going, I don't know if they're
initial remember Army of Anyone. I'll play a song of
their sometimes to end this show, but it was kind
of it ended up being a one off. I don't
know if maybe they had bigger plans. Rich Patrick was

(37:38):
kind of in a fallow period there with Filter at
the time, but it was probably twenty five years ago.
Not twenty five years ago. This would have been like, oh,
five oh six. But Stone Temple pilots with Black Plable Society,
seven Dust, Pod, Saliva Soil, those are the most recent
editions to Sonic Temple, and I'm sure that we will
have more passes for you in the month to come

(38:01):
for that weekend. But if you're a fan of like
death metal and deathcore and grindcore and all that, you know,
anything before core, uh, they're they're doubling down on that
for Sonic Temple. So just for me, that makes me
very happy, and I love seven Dust. I can't tell
you that I would carve out time specifically to watch

(38:25):
Stone Temple pilots with.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
That guy, but I'm not.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
I'm not averse to it in theory. I am Jeff Goot.
They list him as replacement singer no ouch, that's what
I mean. But why not because that was I just
feel like certain dudes that was their band, right. But
what I'm saying is, so if your singer can't keep
it together and he dies, your you just break up?

(38:52):
No be well they did be TSP. I don't know.
Does it change your name be the same thing? Like
just I don't know. Man, Yeah, but don't they want to?
I'm thinking I take your point, but also don't you
I mean, you've got some name equity with people. If
you're like, Hi, We're Mighty Joe Young. That was our

(39:13):
original name before Stone Temple Pilots. We're going to go
back to that because we don't have Scott Wyland. People
would be like, to me, it's like a lose lose
because people just go, oh, it's Stone Temple Pilot, so
that's Scott Wiland form TP. Really call yourself that. I
just I hate it, and I think it's because I
love Stone Temple Pilots so much and I love Scott
Wiland so much. So I just feel like this dude

(39:34):
out there's just it's he's a he's a mimic. It's
just crap. I've actually never heard him sing, but he's
been with the band for eight years from what I understand.
He sounds like him, you know, Jeff Great? Oh is
that what you take exception with that? They got a
guy who sounds like Scott Wiland. Yeah, kind of, I see,
And I mean he's his own guy. I know he
probably adds his own flare on stuff. But do me

(39:55):
a favor. Name one STP song after Scott Wyland died. Ah, Well,
I didn't really pay attention to them after Scott exactly. Yeah,
but a lot of people, you know, a lot of
people did, didn't They They've released numerous albums. No one cares.
Scott Wiland, by the way, was also I forget how

(40:17):
long he was alive. I keep thinking he died like
two thousand, two thousand and two. He died in twenty fifteen.
Skot Wyland's only been there for ten years. I always
think he's been dead for a lot longer than that. No,
when those Army of Anyone guys came in, I was
on Chicago and they all came in to promote this album.
That was when Scott Wiland was off doing a solo thing,

(40:38):
and so even then they were like, well they weren't
going to replace him. Insultable pilots Jeff Goot from Marine City, Michigan.
He was on The X Factor Season two twenty twelve,
and the Delayo Brothers found him and put him in

(40:59):
front there for on Temple pilots. And so you won't
you won't if you go to Sonic Temple. Uh, you
will turn your back to Stone Temple pilots. You'll stand
there in front, but turn your back to them. Yeah,
I'm just well, listen, we can start with there's also
a zero percent chance I'll be at Sonic Temple, Okay,
Like I just I was thinking about that this past year.

(41:21):
I was like, oh, because Pat Butler had an extra room.
Oh yeah, And I was like, you know what, maybe
I'll go. And then I thought about it and I
know me and I know crowds, and then I'm gonna
what I'm gonna. I'm gonna go to a show. I'm
gonna go back to a hotel and go back to
a show again the next day and do hours of
dealing with the same No. Yeah, no, no, no, yeah no,
yeah no, dude, I would I love the Death Cones,

(41:42):
and I wouldn't go to two shows two nights in
a row, right, because you were going to Clapton, Right,
come on, I just it's around the corner from us here. Yeah,
I know, it's sound like. Well, then, how do you
feel about Alison Chains Or were they never like a
big band for you?

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:56):
No, they were huge. Yeah, I kind of feel the
same way. But I also in a way, Jerry Cantrell
was such a big part of that, especially towards the
end when Lane was a mess like those you listen
to those late albums. I mean, Jerry's singing a lot, yes,
you know, so it's Lane didn't really have any teeth left. No,
he was a wreck. So, I mean, I think at

(42:17):
that point that one feels a little different to me
because of the situation. I could tell you who Jerry
Cantrell is. I know nothing of the Delio guys other
than what they did in STP. I'll tell you what
I think is a bunch of bull honky. They are
trying to and this is just a rumor, they are
trying to replace. They're trying to replace Chris Cornell in

(42:45):
Audio Slave with some guy named Zach Dala Rocca. I
don't know what the hell that's about. Audio Slave was
Chris Cornell? All right, thank you very much. Yes, I
mean call yourself something different. You know what I mean.
I don't know who this pretender to the throne is,
Zach Dala. Come on, just call yourself something different. Audio

(43:07):
Slave is something very specific. It was Chris Cornell and
the three other guys. What could we call that band
with Zach Dela Roki. I don't know and I don't care.
Something with audio Slave is a very specific. I can
feel it's making me angry, like I'm getting filled with rage. Yeah,

(43:29):
you know, I always saw Stone Temple Pilots last year
and they kicked ass. Rob is missing out. They put
two exclamation points in that text. Noop, all right, I
mean listen, I'm sure they're great. I just for me.
I was such a Scot and I saw STP like
five times with Wiland. Oh good for me. I got
to see him numerous times. What about because I only

(43:50):
saw them once when I when I brought them out
on stage at our one of our festivals in Pittsburgh.
What if they do like Stone Temple Pilots feet suring
Jeff goot No, no, no, okay, it's still not stn't
do a violotce gotcha, Okay, I understand you want nothing
to do with them. I don't, I don't and and

(44:12):
look I understand also people are gonna go, well, you know,
Scott Wyland was already out of the band Chester was.
I know, I know all of that. I wasn't thrilled
with the Chester stuff. Yeah, I don't really remember them
with Chester. I know they did two self titled albums
in a row, which, if nothing else, it's kind of
confusing because I think it was over all their third
self titled album. Yeah, but I don't really remember. I

(44:35):
know that they dropped like a single with Chester, but
I don't really remember. Yeah, there wasn't a lot. I yeah,
I think of I think of Scott Island and that
Around that same time was when Scott was doing Velvet Revolver,
which I thought was fantastic. I loved, loved Velvet Revolver.

(44:56):
But why not call that Guns n' Roses with Scott Wiland,
because as now what it was, that would have been
so to my point, if if axel Work were out
right and Guns and Roses went on the road with Oh,
I see what you mean, would you would you call
that guns and Roses?

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Mmm?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Of course now I would call it whatever they wanted
to be called roses and guns. Oh, I see all right?
Uh yeah, I don't mind when people replace their singer,
you know, because I'm like, I can't. I wouldn't want
to be that singer because you're pushing a rock up
hill every day. Even if you're killing it with the band,

(45:35):
people are gonna just compare you to the other guy.
You know. There's no way getting around a singer who
didn't leave died, No way getting around that, no, because
all everybody ever thinks is, golly, what would it have
been had he not died? Not like the guy is
alive and running around somewhere else, left for a solo thing.
You know, David Lee Roth might have split van Halen,

(45:56):
but he's still alive to the best of mine. Now, Dave,
are you're still alive? All right? Well, I'll tell you
what the comedy world this happened while we were gone.
I think for your father in law, your stepfather in law.
The comedy world is riven over this ri Odd Comedy Festival.

(46:16):
I didn't realize this had already happened. I thought it
was still ahead of us. The ri Odd Comedy Festival
Saudi Arabia creates this giant comedy festival and gets all
of your heavy hitters and throws them tons of money. Now,
you got a lot of the usual suspects, right. Kevin Hart,
who's a guy who says no to no one. Kevin

(46:37):
Hart is one of these guys. Is like, I have
a number in my head and when I hit that number,
I'll retire. You know, just exactly the kind of motivation
you want. And in the meantime he will do anything
anyone pays him to do. Kevin Hart never says no.
A lot of other people were asked and bowed out right.
Shane Gillis was asked, I just saw Shane Gillis. He

(46:57):
headlined Chappelle's Thing in Yellow Springs. Over the summer. Chappelle
went to do the Riodd Comedy Festival. Bill Burr went
to do the Riod Comedy Festival. Pete Davidson went to
do the Riod Comedy Festival. This is a guy who
lost his dad in nine to eleven. Yeah, so I
guess if you get far enough away from something history,

(47:21):
Shane Gillis was pretty clear about what he did want
to do.

Speaker 5 (47:26):
Where why Saudi Arabia and UAE or Dubai.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Dubai I think my past. Yeah, for the truths, for
the troops, not.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
For the troops, for the Sauvie's, for the Saudi princess. Yeah,
and everyone's like, yeah, you should do it. Everyone's doing
it for sauvens.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, what does the nine eleven guys? Yeah, those are
the nine to eleven guys. I guess everybody had a
good time the Riodd Comedy Festival. Everybody made a lot
of money. Louis c. K and Bill Burr and Dave
Jim Jeffries. If you saw people being interviewed about it,
they were really doing a lot of gymnastics to I

(48:08):
guess rationalize going over there and doing it as he's
I'm sorry, Tom Segurro, Whitney Cummings, our friend Sebastian Menascalco,
and they're all making a lot of money. Mark Maren
was very very vocally against it. Now again, I don't know.
I think by his own admission he's like, I don't
he wasn't invited to do it, but nevertheless, like these

(48:32):
aren't people who need the money, These aren't struggling comedians, right.
Maren is probably the poorest one in the bunch. He's
got a little bit socked away. It's easy to say
you won't do something if you aren't invited to do something.
I know, but I have a feeling that even if
Shane Gillis was invited and he said no, I have
to think that if Mark Maren had been invited, he
would have said no. I feel like Mark Maron's in

(48:54):
a much different place than this one. I mean, is
this one I'm saying though, is that none of those
people need the money. Maren could probably use the money.
It's not like this guy's hurting. He's developed a very
nice career for himself. But he's not playing arenas He's not.
You know, Shane Gillis, I think, was offered something like
half a million dollars to play this because they just
have oil money. They can just they can give anybody anything, right,

(49:15):
And so yeah, people had some very specific thoughts on
this because my and again this is not unprecedented, but
you know, like Beyonce played the Crown Prince's birthday party
or something, and Mariah Carey was the first female international
artists to perform in Saudi Arabia, and so they all
say the same thing. They go, well, this is to

(49:37):
bring inspiration and encouragement and why should we cut ourselves
off from these people. Chappelle was talking about how there's
more free speech now in Saudi Arabia than there is
in the United States, which I get what he means.
I don't know that that's true right now. Yeah, well,
I mean we're heading there. But still it's like, I

(49:59):
understand what he's saying. And so the people who went,
you know, made the case that whether we go or not,
we're not gonna change anybody's ideas of anything, and why
wouldn't we go. This is a way for us to
you know, expand our culture and comedy to this country.
And I guess they have a bit of a point,

(50:21):
But boy so do the people who say this is
gross and I would never do that because you know,
these are the people who took down the Twin Towers.
So even the people who performed at this thing, boy,
you didn't see him blowing it up on social media.
You didn't see him posted on their stories and their
posts that they were super happy to be doing the

(50:41):
ri Odd Comedy Festival.

Speaker 14 (50:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Man, this is a tough one, honestly, because look, if
somebody comes to you and says, here's this amazing amount
of money for a one night or will you do it?
I don't care who you are or how much money
you have, it's difficult to say no to that. Yeah,
but I also think you do have to consider the source.

(51:04):
I don't disagree. But again, until I'm in that in
that place where someone offers me that kind of money,
it's very hard for me to judge doing it. I mean,
I guess you'd kind of crowdsource it a bit to
your family. But logistically, if somebody came to you and said,
we want to pay you two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to do X for the Saudi royal family, I mean,

(51:25):
would you really think about it? Well, again, I think
that those people, they're all making much more than too. No,
I'm talking about you were saying. Regular guys. If someone said, Hey,
if someone said I'm gonna give you two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to come over here and do whatever,
do the show, yeah, I would have I would. I
would have to think long and hard about that.

Speaker 7 (51:46):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
I listen, there would be a moral component to it,
for sure, But it's one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Yeah,
But My thought is always you can't lose what you
didn't have. That's true. If I don't do it, I'm
not out too. Hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I never
had two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Yeah, and I
might feel a little bit better, like, yeah, you're coming

(52:07):
back with a quarter mill. But it's literally blood money.
I mean, so's the money you're making here. In all fairness,
I mean, you know, yeah, I mean it's no different, really,
I mean it is. Yes, Well, what Bob Pittman is
not Al Qaeda. You know, there's a very distinct difference. Yes,
I know. I'm sure they're probably doing business with people

(52:28):
over there whatever that's above my pay grade. That's different
than being asked directly, will you go perform in this
country for this money? Again, it's easy to Monday morning
quarterback the thing, you know, when you don't have a
dog in the fight. But there were other There were
a handful of comedians who were invited to do this
and were offered a lot of money. And by the way,

(52:52):
they were all given a list of things they couldn't
talk about, so a handful of them, I guess they
really didn't have a problem with the with the pedigree
of the country of Saudi Arabia with respect to this country.
But they were more like, well, no, you want American
comedians to come over there, we have to be able
to talk about everything we want to talk about, and

(53:13):
so they might have given him a little bit more
of a wide berth. But the Pete Davidson thing is
really what jumped out at me. I'm like, dude, this
guy's dad died on nine to eleven. But that also
tells you everything you really need to know, because again,
but I don't know anything about Pete Davidson. I've never
met him. I literally all I know about him is

(53:35):
that he's been inside Ariana Grande uh huh, and that
his dad died in nine to eleven, and that he
was on Saturday Night Live. Like I've seen him live.
I saw many he did hilarities earlier this year. I
think he's a funny guy and he's like five million
dollars richer because he went and played a comedy festival.
Like that's what That's what people need to think about.

(53:55):
That's like, that is just again, I completely understand what
you're saying, but it's very, very hard for me to
say that I wouldn't do the same. No, I understand.
Christ As Stefano, who we've had on the show before too,
he was like, I didn't want to do it either,
But I talked to my wife and she goes, you're
gonna take that f and money. Yeah, And Jim Jeffries
was like, yeah, they chopped up a guy from the
Washington Post, but that's not a hill I'm going to

(54:17):
die on. That's a real weird thing to say out loud.
It's also Jim Jeffries, though now I understand he's always
going to say stupid stuff just because well I'm not
even saying it souper, but I mean, listen, it's their
decision to make. I'm just surprised that that many people.
I guess if you tell yourself, well, we're we're bringing
our culture to them, they can get our culture anytime

(54:38):
they want. It's available to them. They really don't have
much interest in our culture, right, So it's as a
marketing thing. It's like that golf thing that they were trying,
that live golf over there. A lot of golfers kind
of in that same boat where they were, you know,
getting nine figure offers and you know, they were smart
that they were looking at guys who were kind of

(54:59):
on the downslope of their career, right to look at
guys like Tiger Woods, and you know, here's a chance
for you to make some crazy money. But it's a
wild I thought that this thing was still on the way,
but it already happened, I guess. And but again it's
you know, it's their decision to make. It's just I
was kind of surprised that the people that I saw
involved with it. Pete Davidson again was the one that

(55:21):
jumped out of me. I think again that that's why
it's so it's so easy to look at it from
their perspective. You're you're literally doing a one nighter and
making that kind of money. It's hard to say no.
Ellen Carr Show.

Speaker 8 (55:34):
On one hundred points of.

Speaker 19 (55:39):
Ellen car Show, here's a piece of strong cheese keyes
has a sound probably all of its own.

Speaker 18 (55:48):
On one hundred point seven WMMS, Hey.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
I got another thousand dollars for you in about five
or six minutes. By the way, about thirty past the hour,
you get a shot at a keyword courtesy of the
Buzzard Bookie. Congrats by the way to Leah Rourke out
there in somewhere where is she Akron? Akron? The ak
Rowdy got those passes for the Factory of Terror just

(56:20):
a bit to south there in Canton. Next week, I
will have passes for you if you struck out there
for the Haunted Schoolhouse and Laboratory. It's the only time
that you have to pronounce the word laboratory as laboratory
is when it's in Halloween context. Haunted Schoolhouse and Laboratory
in Akron celebrating fifty seasons of fear rob fifty season. Oh,

(56:44):
by the way, I did want to mention this. Our
brothers and sisters in broadcasting over there at Cleveland State
University are going through a day of mourning. I don't
know if we have any student listeners who spend any
amount of time there at WCSB was their radio station,
and they would have celebrated fifty years next spring, and

(57:07):
I'm sure everybody involved was very excited for that. They
went on the air May tenth, nineteen seventy six. WMMS.
You know, we know whence we speak. We had our
fiftieth anniversary unbelievably seven years ago. Back in twenty eighteen,
we had the late great Ozzy Osbourne host our anniversary
show out there at Blossom, sold out the whole affair.

(57:30):
Rob This was prior to year tenure here, just before
the WMMS fiftieth and Cleveland State, like so many other universities,
are really going through it with all of these funding
being slashed and things like that, and they're looking at
like a seventeen million dollar shortfall. And I don't know
the inner workings of it, but they have sold the

(57:51):
college radio station over there to idea stream. So I
don't know if that's part of it where they're like,
we need some cash, maybe we'll just sell the radio station.
But I know that they were and again I don't
know the inner workings of these things. But and I
myself only did a semester of college radio and it

(58:13):
was after I had already graduated, And that's kind of
the case with a lot of college stations. It's a
lot of like alumni volunteers and things like that. They
just needed warm bodies. And I was kind of in
between gigs and did one semester of college radio. But

(58:34):
some people really devote themselves to it. And WCSB is
no more. With respect to Cleveland State, University was eighty
nine point three over there. I was told earlier today
that they were staging a sit in. Yeah yeah, And
I was also told I think it lasted under fifteen minutes,

(58:55):
so I don't know what that entailed. I don't know.
WCSB was not a radio station that I would listen
to with any regularity. You know, I punch around occasionally
to see what the kids are doing on college radio.
Some stations sound better than others. They're a handful of
local college radio stations, and you can see why it's

(59:19):
attractive to some people, you know, people who have their
criticisms of a commercial radio and what it sounds like
and what it's become in an age of consolidation. But
you really do just aesthetically, you really do. I have

(59:40):
to hang in there with college radio because boy, I mean,
these are people getting their sea legs, and so I
was always curious to hear what the kids are doing.
First off, it's terrible to lose a college radio station
because I'm always so heartened that there are college kids
that want to do radio, you know what I mean. Yeah,

(01:00:00):
And there are a lot of universities around the country
where their radio station is nothing more than an online asset,
you know. So there are still like WCSB, there are
still college radio stations that were broadcasting on the non
com band there, and they were at eighty nine point three,
and again, I don't know if it was to make

(01:00:23):
up for whatever shortfalls they have over there at CSU.
They also announced that they were getting rid of a
couple of dozen academic programs. I guess they're launching like
three dozen, so they're swapping out some and bringing on
others people trying. And they said that the people who
are studying these things at CSU now will be able

(01:00:45):
to continue their studies until they're done, like if you
were studying to be, you know, the doctor in nursing practice.
That's one of the programs they're getting rid of. A
lot of degrees and programs in nursing are being done
with its CSU. And my thought is always, well, it's
probably because you know, it sucks for the people who

(01:01:05):
are in those but it probably has more to do
with the fact that there weren't enough people enrolled in
certain programs and so they discontinued a lot of their
academic programs over there. But I guess they're introducing a
whole lot of other ones. So I don't know, but
any time there is a terrestrial college radio station that
goes away, you are losing a lot of you know, flavor,

(01:01:30):
not only for you know, kind of campus life, but
in you know, the broad spectrum, if you will, through
pardon the pun of voices on radio. And so God
it would have loved if somebody's got to have video
that sit in, you know, because back in the day
when radio stations, as a matter of course, would you know,

(01:01:51):
change format or something like that, you'd have a guy
who was pretending to be locked in the studio, right,
I'm gonna lock myself with a studio play def Leppard
until they you know, well, there are no locks on
studio doors, no, and so you can't lock yourself in
the studio. Well and even if you did, let's just say,

(01:02:14):
for example, they were able to do that in twenty
twenty five. All you have to do is push a
button in a room somewhere else and they're off the air. Yeah,
So it really like the whole sit in thing. Uh,
I get it. I understand it too. I be you
know again, I don't have I have precisely one semester
of experience in college radio. I tell people I felt

(01:02:37):
ass backwards into radio and so but it sucks, you know.
For my son ended up doing a semester of college
radio Michigan State because he wanted to see what the
what the fuss was all about and he really liked
doing it, and you know, but he did a semester
and that was fine. You know, listen, my son Rob,
he's got a broadcasting legend in the family. What I say,

(01:03:01):
and me, oh, I'm in the family too. I was
gonna say, who else? I don't know, I forget who
can remember these things? But you know, our buddy pound
Cake when he was DJ Cobra, he was on there
at the University of Akron and he was DJ Cobras. Yes,
yeh at w z IP because of course they're the

(01:03:23):
Akron Zips. They're down there in Akron at eighty.

Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
Eight point one.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
But for people, and radio stations on campus really run
the gamut two, right. Some of them are programmed like
commercial stations, because the thought being, this is the best
way to train someone to transition into commercial radio if
it's format of a certain way, and there's you know,

(01:03:50):
the one semester I did it that's what the radio
station was. There was a log, and there was you know,
because there were like, you know, so many people come
out of college free form radio and they don't realize
the structure of commercial radio to go, oh, I didn't
know that. What I can't just play whatever I want?
You know, you're like, no, it's not nineteen seventy two.

(01:04:11):
But a lot of people did you know. John Carroll
has a great radio station, and but WCSB, the Northeast
Ohio collegiate non commercial radio landscape is down. The station
obviously still on the air because they sold it to
Idea Stream, which also run well. I thought NPR and

(01:04:35):
I thought public radio was on its death bed, as
what I was saying, So how are they buying radio
stations because you could probably get them for pennies on
the dollar. I don't know, I mean non commercial campus
radio stations, you know. So they will still be on
the air, just not affiliated with Cleveland State. As I
understand it, They're going to air some jazz form or something.

(01:04:59):
You know, I don't know what kind of jazz they'll
be airing, but that seems more keeping in line with
your traditional NPR audience and demographic. Maybe they're playing some
Dave Kus Kenny g. Maybe what I was just going
to say, maybe their sit in would have gone better

(01:05:20):
if they had all done Sean Connery impressions. We're staging
a shit in. Now, you shit over there, I'll shit
over here. Lock the door. If somebody tries to come in,
give them an open hand slap. We're going to stay
on the air and as long as we possibly can
because we're doing a shit in all afternoon. What we're

(01:05:41):
already done. Oh that was quick. Yeah, So anyway, that sucks.
I mean, it's you know, they would have celebrated their
fiftieth anniversary next May, but it was not to be
because it is a kick in the balls, you know,
kind of the days of even before this administration, which

(01:06:04):
you know, wiping its ass with the Constitution in the
First Amendment and all this kind of stuff from tip
to taint, but even before the people who are running
things now, the freedom of expression on campus has been
you know, diminishing incrementally for decades, and so you know,
it's not people taking over a campus building anymore. I mean,
that still happens, but then they you know, look at

(01:06:26):
Kent State back in the day that's your most pointed
example of something going really sideways in Northeast Ohio. Anyway,
I mentioned the person who won the Factory of Terror
tickets because I was reading rob about the ghosts that

(01:06:50):
haunt America's national parks. Now, I don't know if there
is a ghost that is actively haunting kai Huga Valley
National Park. I don't know about that. It's not on
this list, though. I have to think though, the people
in Northeast Ohio who are well versed in that area
might know if there is something that is haunting that park.

(01:07:12):
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, there is something supposedly
haunting that park, something that they call spear finger. Now, listen,
you know, if you've ever been to Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, it's the most visited national park in the country,
and it's gorgeous, huge swaths of Appalachia and these these

(01:07:38):
lush forests and these mountain peaks. It's a half a
million acres and it's gorgeous between like North Carolina and Tennessee.
But the spear finger rob people keep on the lookout
for spear finger. Now a lot of these are attached
to indigenous or Native American lore. But and the spear

(01:08:00):
Finger is no different. It's a Cherokee legend rop. So
if you're somebody who over spooky season is going to
be visiting a national park and the Great Smoky Mountains
is somewhere on there, be on the lookout for spear Finger,
which they say is a monster with a sharp finger,

(01:08:20):
hence the name. There's a Native American chief said to
haunt Yosemite National Park. Mammoth Caves. They're in Kentucky, the
world's biggest cave system. Maybe they have what they call
the coughing spirits. Wonder why they call them that heavy smokers? Well,

(01:08:44):
they said that there after some doctor tried to purchase
part of the caves in the mid nineteenth century and
wanted to convert part of it into a hospital for
tuberculosis patients, thinking that that coal the environment would be
beneficial to their lungs. That theory did not work out,

(01:09:07):
And boy, imagine that, you know, the cold, damp, moist
will be really really good for your lungs. Yeah, Grand
Canyon National Park is said to be haunted. The Yellowstone
National Park they have the Headless Bride. Now again, I
don't know if there's one Inkyhoga Valley National Park. That
can be fun to find that out. Our friend James Renner,

(01:09:29):
who joins us occasionally over Halloween with all manner of
ghost stories, might know something along those lines. But you know,
Stephen King when he wro at the Shining Rocky Mountain
National Park was really kind of how he was trying
to kind of frame that whole story. And again, yes,
these are all kind of indigenous stories of the land,

(01:09:52):
but that doesn't mean they're not true. Rob, We don't know,
this could all be true. Oh boy, yo, man, how's

(01:10:13):
it going?

Speaker 10 (01:10:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
You know who this is?

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
You know, I always think that I do, but then
I don't. So who is it?

Speaker 11 (01:10:19):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:10:20):
This is Jane Goodall?

Speaker 7 (01:10:22):

Speaker 6 (01:10:23):

lived a good life ninety one years with gorillas?

Speaker 6 (01:11:20):
Are you telling you what kind of life I lived?
I know what kind of life I lived. God, damn it,
I lived it. I'm I'm a famous prima cholentist Jane Goodall,
and now I'm dead. I used to hang out with
a guy named Lewis Leaky. Remember Lewis Leaky?

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
No, no, oh.

Speaker 6 (01:11:39):
Man, and this dude was leaky. It was always putting
your moves on us.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Wait a minute, you were I said, gorillas, But you
were chimps, weren't you. I worked with kiss Yeah, not gorillas.

Speaker 6 (01:11:51):
It was like me and a couple of other ladies
that were really in the muntins.

Speaker 12 (01:11:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:11:55):
It was the lady who got killed. Yep, remember dying Fossy.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
They ripped her face off right, Well.

Speaker 6 (01:12:01):
No, they other humans killed her.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Oh they shot the face with a.

Speaker 6 (01:12:07):
Machete in a tent. It was bad man, it were else.
But they made a movie about her. They made gorillas
in the miss.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
With the amount of stuff you've seen.

Speaker 6 (01:12:17):
Oh, man, yeah, and then another one of our friends
is into like a rangitans and stuff. But I was
so beloved, rob, so beloved. Can you believe it? And
I didn't. I was on a tour, man, I'm talking
to people. They want to hear me talk, and I die.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
And where were you imagine?

Speaker 6 (01:12:39):
People asking for refunds the next day? Hey, I had
taken to see famous promisologist Jane Goodall speak and I
heard she died, and she died. I can I get
my money back from those.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
Te in all fairness? Don't you like would you do like?
Wouldn't you try to get your money back? I mean
it's seems larger. Mom, I'm dead now, okay, when you
were living.

Speaker 6 (01:13:05):
Well, people took care of me though, right. You know
I didn't need much of anything. I was ninety one,
and people were worried, didn't they crossed me? I'd set
those monkeys out than I knew I was friends with monkeys.

Speaker 12 (01:13:25):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Huh yeah, So what what was your actual cause of death?
What was it? Just aged as I understand, and my
heart stumped, well, yes, and.

Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
Everything else just went after that boy, once, I think goes,
you're a bad sheep.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Yeah, I read that you passed peacefully in your sleep.

Speaker 6 (01:13:42):
Would well, I don't know about that. I died, Rob,
I don't know how I died because I was dead?

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Well, I know, am I going to know how I died?
I don't know. I would assume I've never died. I
assumed the dead would know how they died.

Speaker 6 (01:13:54):
Oh, I don't know how I died. You take a
monkey trying to sit on my face, and I guess
what it was. As I went to people, people ask,
that's a boring story to go. I died in my sleep.
Come on, man, I died because I was. I died
sixty nine in a monkey, now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
A chimp.

Speaker 6 (01:14:13):
It makes for a much better story, that's right, a
better story for me. The late great sained primatologist Jane goodall.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Around, a hero to so many, a hero to.

Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
Every kind of mammal, of friends, of human and monkey

this guy, that's why I whenever I see him, I
give him a wink and I call him. I call
him Captain Monkey Singer. That's a hu.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I thought he was more into the younger of females.

Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
Yes, that's why, that's why I didn't do it, he said.
I never even hit my hands on anybody or than.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Twenty eight maybe, so were you thinking like maybe his

But it's Saturday nights. We're in that sweet spot where

catch the Bulls when they're in town later in the season.

(01:18:02):
But you'll hear the Cavs preseason games beginning Tuesday here
on MMS after this program, and then the regular season
gets there underway on Wednesday, October the twenty second, and
then it's just a short hop, skip and jump to
the NBA Championships, which I'm predicting right now, Rob, the

(01:18:23):
Cleveland Cavaliers will win. God, they got twenty twenty five,
twenty six NBA champion. I think it's a hot take.
They dude, that's it. They got a great team. They

Our friend Tim Disney will be back on the show

the show, and we've gotten to chop it up. I
ran in new him at Mike Polk's wedding a couple
of weeks ago. I said, hey, you should come on
and we'll see what happens. And so that'll be next Friday,

(01:19:25):
where our buddy Timothy Misney esquire. Perhaps you're familiar with
him with his ubiquitous face and commercials and billboards all
around Northeast Ohio, and I can do the eyebrow things,
so I feel like the entire time I'm talking to him,
I'm going to force myself to not do it. You
might I think of him as the Rock of Cleveland

(01:19:49):
at WMS, the wrestler, the Rock from of Cleveland, Dwayne Johnson,
Dwayne Rock, the Dwayne john Rock, the Dreen, Yeah, the
Dreen I how careful an, Yeah, it's all right.

Speaker 15 (01:20:08):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
The human brain, I'm fascinated by it. I love to
know how it works. I wish I had one. But
I was reading that the human mind peaks at sixty.
Now you're in your cognitive prime in your late fifties,
is what they say. Now I am newly fifty four.
Rob is a few years behind me. You're in your

(01:20:30):
what are you forty seven? Yeah, he's forty seven years old.
And they do, you know, they're doing constant cognitive tests
across demographic lines and things like that. And we can joke,
although it's only half joking, that culturally people are kind
of getting dumber. We're all getting dumber. Our brains were

(01:20:53):
quite literally not created to keep up with the way
society and tech and everything else is moving. We simply
cannot keep up with it. But your late fifties, they
say you're in your cognitive prime, and that the human
mind actually peaks at sixty.

Speaker 15 (01:21:12):
Rob.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
What this tells me is that I have six short
years in which to try to learn everything that I've
ever wanted to learn, because then it's going to be
all downhill from there. Well, you could look at it
as though the next six years are you're going to
be your best from a mind mind set, right, I guess.

(01:21:37):
But you know, you really have to keep your mind elastic.
You've got to work at it, right. It's like a
muscle that you need to keep. That's why they tell
old people. They're like, oh, do brain teaser games and
crossword puzzles and things like that. You've got to keep
all those neurons firing. And so I need to make
sure that the fluids are moving. Sure that you know,

(01:22:02):
because I'm listen, I've talked about it before. I'm in
pretty good shape. There are people a lot younger than
I am who I know who are constantly complaining about something.
Nothing on me hurts, but that could all go away
one day. There's only so much you can do. And
so what they're referring to, and the thing I was

(01:22:22):
reading is called crystallized intelligence. That's the accumulation of all
your knowledge and experience that you kind of carry with you.
That there are personality traits. You know, if you're a
conscientious person, that's a personality trait, right, if you are
an emotionally stable person. I don't know what those words mean,

(01:22:45):
but I'm reading them and I guess they mean something
moral reasoning. I don't know what those words mean. But again,
I've got six years to figure these things out. Rop
six years, which, boy, that's no time at all. It's
no time at all. So let's say I'm still here

(01:23:08):
in six years. My sincerest condolences to the audience.

Speaker 8 (01:23:12):
A b ah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
These people are going to be They're going to be
witness to my rapid cognitive decline. Rob And what could
be funnier than that, Well, I'll be here for it.
So so by the time you hit sixty, that's pretty
much where you're peeking out. I guess as far as

(01:23:36):
your brain goes according to this allan, I'm so glad
that the show won't be preempted anymore. You know, sports
announcers hardly ever talk about poop spooch, human pitch, puture
faction or mega Yeah, well that is true, and sometimes, boy,
it's a banner day when you can lump them all

(01:23:57):
together in one fell swoop, as it were. So anyway,
I'm looking forward to my brain peeking because then you
don't really have to worry about it anymore. Right, more
of like busting my ass trying to keep my brain
elastic and reading things. Rob my bothering with that? For right?

(01:24:21):
Everybody else is walking around drooling and licking their windows.
They look happy. What am I missing? I need to
get on board, So do it. So I'm gonna take
these last six years and really jam as much, because
that's what bums me out. What bums me out, irrespective
of how long your brain is really really cooking, what

(01:24:43):
bums me out is you think about all the things
that you never get to know, all the things you
never know, all the books you don't read, all the
movies you don't see. You know, all of this information
that you could be squeezing into your brain. Now you
can make the argument, but for what And that's a
valid argument too, To what end? Who cares? When you're dead?

(01:25:05):
That's it? Who cares? If you accumulate all this knowledge,
best you can do is maybe pass it on to
somebody else. Except nobody believes anybody anymore. So what good
is that? When you're done? You're done your worm food?

(01:25:26):
So who knows? Hey, I heard from one of our
New York Bureau chiefs. We've got people in Hell's kitchen.
We've got young Mary Santora out there in queens and
a handful of people spread throughout the five boroughs. And
the race is over. The rats have won the New
York City rat war. Of course, everybody knows by now

(01:25:48):
that there are rats and rodents for every man, woman
and child in the City of New York. And they're
not alone, you know. Major metropolitan areas are beset on
all sides by rodents, to the extent where Eric Adams,
who I believe is still the Mayor of New York City,

(01:26:09):
although on his way out sensibly is he designated a
rat czar. He put a woman in charge of getting
this rat situation under control. It's no joke when people
tell you about how large the rats in New York
City are. That's why some of them have saddles. But

(01:26:29):
the ratsar has resigned, so the rats got the better
of her. She looked into their beady eyes and said,
I got nothing for you. The rodents in New York
City have landed a decisive blow in this whole thing.
How about that? And she just couldn't get it done.

(01:26:50):
They gave her millions of dollars to address the rat problem.
Of course, people were laughing at the time because they
were trying to chemically castrate a lot of the rats,
and they're like, yeah, rat sightings are down, but that's
just anecdotal, right. It doesn't matter how wealthy you are,
it doesn't matter how high into the sky you make

(01:27:12):
your home. If you are in New York, there's gonna
be mice, and if you're very wealthy, it's gonna drive
you crazy. You've got the means to try to eradicate
them in your own domicile, I guess. But the rats
have won in New York. Rat so there you go.
I mean, thank you for passing that on from our

(01:27:34):
New York bureau chiefs. You had to know it was coming.
Those things have run that city for a long time,
I guess.

Speaker 12 (01:27:40):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
But why this current push over the past five six years,
Why this push to get rid of the rats? You know,
they tried and veiled the size of those things, license
plates on them.

Speaker 7 (01:27:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Yeah, vanity plates, yeah yeah, the size of dogs, big big,
big rats. Alan. When I bend over to pick up
my newspaper at sixty, I can't wait for my fruit
bowl to be peeking out of my bathrobe. Yuckie, yeah,

(01:28:21):
like Tony Soprano, Jesus Christ, my fruit eggs, got my pums.
Look at those grapes, Jesus Christ, look at my fruit
game man nuts.

Speaker 21 (01:28:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:37):
Yeah, So anyway, rats and they've got him here. When
I go home to Chicago. You know, I'm going home
for Thanksgiving. Uh my son just moved there, so I'm
going to try to go see him check out his
new spot before Thanksgiving. But you know, they'll be contending
with rats too, and I don't. I think it's probably
too much to ask that you try to make peace

(01:28:59):
with them. But they have won, at least in New
York City. Brian Rob called us a lot while we
were doing our live shows during the Guardians playoffs at
Flannery's called a lot, called a lot. While the last
couple of weeks have been weird for the show because

(01:29:19):
you were in Florida for some family stuff and then
the Guardians playoff games kind of carved out the middle
of this week and the entire time Brian never let up.
Now again, ninety percent of it unusable. But I got
a little bit here.

Speaker 6 (01:29:35):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
You'll know the song if you want to hear it,
you'll know the song.

Speaker 4 (01:29:39):
You care so sly as you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
So you know the song, right, Yeah? He doesn't hold
Jeff Lebowski's hatred of Eagles. He loves him.

Speaker 8 (01:29:51):
You care so sly.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
As and your smath is this thing.

Speaker 12 (01:29:58):
This guy a fan now huge real life. But there
ain't no way to had does Lie Lie?

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
I mean he kinda sometimes I just want to hear
him do the song justice. Yeah, he doesn't have to,
he doesn't have to play with it. That's probably the
first time he stayed true to the song. I mean,
he throws vibrado there in at the end, but before
that it was pretty accurate and frankly, as a big
Eagles fan, that's one of my favorite songs of theirs.

(01:30:32):
I forget how long that song is. Lion Eyes is
a six and a half minute song, and it's one
of their best. It tells a story, right, A woman
trades her independence for comfort and security with an old man,
with an old wealthy man whose hands are cold as ice,

(01:30:54):
and she longs for her life before. It's a gilded
cage that they describe. Now Brian does it. He's too
smart to get into all that subtext. You don't need
all that michig As the crank out a killer tune
like you so justly ass and you smile.

Speaker 15 (01:31:14):
It's just thing this guy as a.

Speaker 12 (01:31:18):
Fun Now you'd realize, but there ain't no way to
had does lie Lie.

Speaker 8 (01:31:33):
Lie?

Speaker 11 (01:31:44):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
What a good song? Just lying Eyes a great song.
I think I want to find a way to see
Eagles at the Sphere when they do that residency. Really, yes,
I need to figure that out because I've never seen him.
And sure, you know it's not Glenn Fry's gone and
you know so it's his son and Vince Gill is

(01:32:06):
in there. But that's fine. I don't have a problem
with that. I love Joe Walsh, I love Don Henley,
love the rest of the guys. Big Eagles fan. It
was a band of my mom listened to a lot,
so I heard a lot of Eagles when I was
a kid. They don't belong on yacht rock, though, Like
I hear people play that song on yacht rock and

(01:32:27):
it just it doesn't. It doesn't work for me, doesn't
belong it's not yacht rock. Well, but it does kind of.
I agree with you, but I get where people are
coming from. I mean, if they're using that term very loosely,
and I guess you can make it whatever you want
once you get past kind of your mount rushmore of
yacht We're talking about this the other day, right Rick
Springfield is doing like the yacht Rock Festival, Like that's

(01:32:47):
a huge stretch. But Eagles, I'm like, okay, but that
they kind of typified that early seventies southern California kind
of vibe. Maybe a little two country for yacht rock.
I don't know, but I wouldn't hate it if I
was going to a yacht rock festival and they go, hey,
we got Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmidt. I mean,

(01:33:11):
I'd be fine with it. Yeah, but it's not yacht
I know, I understand.

Speaker 8 (01:33:16):
See Allen Cock Show on one hundred seven, one of
life's most pressing questions.

Speaker 22 (01:33:27):
What do I like about Allen Cock?

Speaker 8 (01:33:29):
Finally answered, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
All right, I don't like much about you The Allen.

Speaker 18 (01:33:36):
Cock Show and one omm.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
I've got another thousand dollars for you, about nine or
ten minutes away, about thirty past every hour all week.
We do take the week end off before thirty and
five thirty. Your last two chances to win this week.
Then we'll start it again Monday morning with Grover. I'm

(01:34:26):
keeping an eye on this. I've been doing the update.
I don't know why I have. It's not like I've
been paying attention to the Diddy thing all the way through.
But today is the sentencing top of the show today.
They were just coming back from a lunch recess. I
guess he's still talking to the judge. He's like begging
the judge who gets custody of all the astro glide
if Diddy goes up the river like they said, Obviously

(01:34:48):
the defense they want him to do fourteen months, which
would include time served. You know, he's been the New
York Metro for a year now, so he would only
be in there for two more months. Obviously, prosecution wants
like eleven years in them. But he's still a young man, right,
I mean, even if they gave him eleven, which they
probably won't, they'll probably give him seven. He'll be out

(01:35:11):
in two and a big deal. He'll still have all
of his money, you know. But he is throwing himself
at the mercy of the court. This is a guy
who had the means to create what they call a
mitigation video. Right, A lot of people will post or
they'll they'll put something in front of the judge when

(01:35:32):
it comes to sentencing. Like they said, that did he did,
you know with the here's a footage of him playing
with his kids and his charity work and all that. Yeah,
but then they just have to go he can produce
the thing, you know what I mean, he can make
it look like a little mini movie. It can do
whatever they want. But then they just go, Yeah, and
here's some footage of him beating the everloving crap out
of his girlfriend in the hallway of a hotel. That's

(01:35:53):
the other side of that coin. That's r right now. Again,
there's two sides of the guy, but I don't But again,
he's not denying any of that either because he can't.
It's right there on video, and it's too early in
the game for him to claim that it's fake or
it's AI or you know, that's everybody's new go to defense. Now,
is this going to be well, that's AI or that's

(01:36:13):
deep faked or whatever, because we very much I don't
know how the legal profession is going to contend with
things like that in the future, because that technology is
changing so rapidly that it's like you're you know, the
old line about like the camera never lies, that's long gone, Like,
you know, I don't know how anyone is going to
know what's real and what's not anymore. But a little

(01:36:37):
too early for that. For Diddy's purposes, I don't have
nobody to blame but myself. He said, I know I'll
never put my hands on another person again. That's not true.
I know I've learned my lesson. Well, that's the thing though,
even if you get out of this, and it's not
like he's going to get out, I don't think they're

(01:36:59):
going to give him a left years. But I don't
think they're gonna give him fourteen months.

Speaker 8 (01:37:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
A lot of people think that he got railroaded too.
A lot of people are like, look, there were people
that were you know, consensual in this whole thing. But again,
I just haven't been watching this every single day. I
don't have a dog in the fight. But you know,
it's like when you watch the last ten minutes of
a football game or something. That's kind of what I'm
doing with Diddy. Today was a sentencing day, and I'm
curious what happens. It's not gonna change any of our lives.

(01:37:26):
No matter what happens, it may you think, Yeah, I mean, listen,
the biggest story so far today is that Taylor Swift
released new music. I mean, now Diddy's gonna take away
the some of the shine on that. He's gonna be
just like Kanye jumping on stage. I'm gonna let you finish,

(01:37:47):
but first I gotta get sentenced for all these freak offs.

Speaker 11 (01:37:51):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:37:53):
I wasn't aware that Taylor Swift was dropping a new
album today, But our friend Jeremiah came in here before
we went on the air and he played me a
little of one of her songs. And she's talking about
her big d Rod. I know he played for me.
He is getting saucy Taylor Swift. Well, she's back to
the hoppy tailor too. We're away from the singer songwriter

(01:38:16):
Taylor Yeah. Okay, I don't know. Oh is that what
it is?

Speaker 11 (01:38:19):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:38:19):
Okay, back to like bad blood type stuff and all that.
I haven't followed her trajectory other than like what I
see in headlines and the nuke pieces and things. The
new song is, uh, what the hell is it? Called?
The Life of a show Girl? Is the album album
Yeah Yeah debuts a new song about Travis Kelsey's Wood.

(01:38:39):
The song is called Wood, Yeah right, probably a song
as parents might want to skip.

Speaker 11 (01:38:44):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
Yeah, but your parents know what kind of wood you got.
I mean, you know, still they they made you. They've
seen you in every iteration, but probably not recently, you know,
like sure, yeah they saw it when they were changing
his diaper. But yeah, h swift things that her bow
took her to quote new heights as her opened her

(01:39:07):
thighs unless left her dematized. I'm of course editing myself there,
all right. The Fate of Ophelia is the lead single.

Speaker 7 (01:39:18):
I'm being.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
Father figures for her. Father figure is what he played me.
At first, I was like, that's not a George Michael cover.
Is that what they're doing? Yeah, that's the one where
she says the thing about the d D. Yeah, she says,
let me see I pull up the lyrics again. You know,
if she's written a song about her fiance called wood
good for her? What dude wouldn't want a song to

(01:39:43):
be written for him. I'll be your father figure. I
drink that brown liquor. I can make deals with the
devil because my d's bigger. Mm hmm. Yeah. But that's
even that's no big deal. No, maybe for her, you know,
people like, oh, yeah, she's she's a year old girl. Yeah,
some degree of pearl clutching might happen there, just because

(01:40:04):
maybe you've never heard her in that, But again, she
doesn't have many more depths to plumb. Rob. You know,
people joking about she's gonna have one hell of an
album after they split up. I think these crazy kids
can make it. Can you believe Taylor Swift talk about
having a big d She's thirty five years old? She

(01:40:25):
that old? Yeah, well, we have all grown up with
Little Tata, haven't we. M she will promote the new
album on Jimmy fallon Monday night, and then she will
do Seth Myers on Wednesday night, and they're doing an
album release and all that kind of stuff. They're going

(01:40:47):
to put it in movie theaters and blah blah blah.

Speaker 6 (01:40:51):
But good for her.

Speaker 2 (01:40:52):
One of the reviews I read, though, was that it
was a masterpiece of cringe, the new album. Yeah, and
there's probably no way around that if you're still writing
songs like you did when you were twenty one but
you are thirty five.

Speaker 7 (01:41:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
The review I and again it's one review, but the
review I read was the new album plays best when
you hardly listen to it at all. She's it's like that.
Listen for someone who has had the success she's had,
big deal. If a couple of people are like, it's
not that whatever, Yeah, who cares? Who cares. She'll sell

(01:41:26):
a billion copies of it, She'll go on the road,
she'll sell out football stadiums. She'll be just fine. That's
also got to be difficult. Listen, female pop stars of
any age are going to be judged a lot more
harshly than their male counterparts. But that's going to be
a tough thing to navigate when you are thirty five

(01:41:51):
and you're like, well, I'm not old. You know, I'm
thirty five. I'm not old, but I can't write songs
like I'm twenty one, So I don't know. But she's
not married yet, So again, I don't have a dog
in this fight either. I don't have friends or relatives

(01:42:14):
who are Swifties, but my girls like her. I wouldn't say,
I wouldn't go as far as to say they're swifties anymore,
but they like Taylor. Yeah, I just don't. She seems
like a very sweet person and her music is obviously
not for me. But if you're Travis Kelcey and she's
written a song for you, and it's called Wood. Yeah.

(01:42:37):
I'd be like, hey, dang, skip track nine, right, skip
track nine?

Speaker 12 (01:42:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:42:44):
So yeah, Jeremiah came in pre show and played me
a little bit of it and I was like, well, listen,
good for her. I didn't even know she was dropping
an album because I haven't been inside a target for
a while, so I didn't see any banner is being
hung wish. She compares it to a redwood tree. I'm
reading the lyrics, but she also has to She's not

(01:43:06):
gonna call him, you know, my little Cashew King. No,
but you know, like you if you're writing a song
about it. My man's like David Lee Roth. He's not
gonna write a song like that. A circus peanut and
leather pants.

Speaker 6 (01:43:23):
Him.

Speaker 2 (01:43:24):
Not gonna do that. She says she was. The song
says she's unlucky in love until Kelsey and his Magic
wand came along New Heights of manhood. I ain't got
to knock on wood girls. I don't need to catch
the bouquet to know a hard rock is on the
way again. That's like this the nicest way you could

(01:43:46):
do a song like that, right, he's like the most
inoffensive way to do because she's still Taylor Swift. Right,
She's not Cardi b. There's not gonna be any you
know macaroni in a pot New Heights of Man.

Speaker 6 (01:44:00):
Good.

Speaker 2 (01:44:00):
Yes, she keeps saying, forgive me. It sounds cocky too.
He's a football champion, he's a he's a you know,
he's a pipe swinging dude. Good for him, for him, man,
it's just that, just why does one dude get to
have everything? Well, no, he has everything? Does he have everything? Money?

(01:44:23):
He's successful as an athlete. She's worked hard for you know,
Taylor Swift and a huge hog. Well big enough for her. No,
obviously she's going we don't know what he's packing. She's
gonna she's gonna take artistic license because it's her man,
and she's not gonna do a song about how he's

(01:44:43):
fine or you just wouldn't write the song. He's writing
a song because it's biblical, like she's writing a song
because she loves it. There's a lot of women, and
I'm not saying this is the case, but there's a
lot of women out there who have a man who's
just fine, but it's great for them. Because they love
them and they're like, hey, man, motion to the ocean. Yeah,

(01:45:05):
I guess, man, But if you're going to write a
song about someone's wang, it's it's big, it's it's got
a it back to the license plate thing. However, she
is slight. Maybe it seemed perception is reality.

Speaker 15 (01:45:24):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:45:24):
Maybe it seems big to her, but she's wick and tall,
you know what I mean. It's not like I mean,
she's thin, but she's Yeah, like it's relative to her,
it's still gonna be huge. Well good, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah for him, listen, but why does he get to
have everything? Like I just take one of those four things?
I guess. Yeah, I'm good for him. I'm happy for him.

(01:45:46):
I'll take the money, shouldn't do anything for me, take
the tailor, take the hog, any of it. Nothing. I
got none of those things. If he gave up one thing,
you'd be there to catch it. Yeah, and I got
I mean, I just got none. Yeah. Come on, Well,
these two crazy kids seem very happy, and I hope

(01:46:07):
it all works out. But the new Taylor Swift album
is out the Life of a Showgirl, her twelfth album,
Crazy It really is so our friend Walter Williams leaves
a call about my food and drink being stolen from
our communal refrigerator, and he goes on like this whole
kind of preacher vibe. You know, Walter Williams calls us

(01:46:29):
Lee's messages, and I think he just loves He just
loves talking. Whether or not that makes sense, you tell
me if you can understand what he's trying to.

Speaker 22 (01:46:40):
Say here, mister Cox, I commend you my mind breathing
for announcing the theft of your property such as celsius
and other consumables.

Speaker 20 (01:46:53):
Those who it's still from you are the product of
ejaculation that should have been left upon the attacks.

Speaker 2 (01:47:03):
Or the thigh that's really going in, isn't he. I
feel like I should have a pipe organ under this guy,
as it were half the stomach of a war.

Speaker 19 (01:47:15):
And I commence upon those who would steal from you,
mister Cox, so they will then be marked with the
excrements of their fevery, with Avian excrement, so all will
bear witness to whom they are products of sypholytic horum.

Speaker 17 (01:47:42):
Wow, those who would steal from you?

Speaker 8 (01:47:44):
If he does show you.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
By bye, Yeah he did O My God, here's the
sign off. He goes, F you bye bye. I just
love syphiltic hortum. I'm playing them tomorrow night, by the way,
on two hours to midnight, our Saturday night Metal show.
I just love that he went for the leaving it
out thing, like people that are so awful that when
they would go to steal your things should have been

(01:48:09):
left out than in. And the way he describes so fantastic.
That's I mean, I'm I'm putting that one towards the
top of his bats yeah, or the belly of a whore.

Speaker 20 (01:48:23):
Those who it's steal from you are the product of
ejaculation that should have been left upon the batons or
the thigh, perhaps.

Speaker 19 (01:48:36):
The stomach of a awe and I commence something.

Speaker 2 (01:48:40):
All right, Okay, thank you, Walter. I appreciate the call there.
And you know that's towards the top of my favorite
Walter Williams calls left on the battacks the belly of
a Then he signs off again. I like how he
does his little revealed Hey everybody, it's me Walterworth. If
you hate the show, F you bye bye, right listen.

(01:49:02):
If nothing else, he sounds in better spirits you know,
sometimes he finds him. He's quite infirmed, blind, no legs,
and you know he's called us from the hospitals a
lot of free time when he's there in the hospital.
But at least he sounds like he's in better spirits,
like he got his dander up to get us that

(01:49:23):
little uh sermon there the batox the batons. I do
like syphiletic hardum, though I won't lie to you. That's
pretty good. That's pretty pretty pretty good. You're read about
this kid who got killed on a hunting trip because
one of his uh somebody else thought that he was
a squirrel. I don't know how you make that mistake.

(01:49:47):
I mean, obviously, if somebody is so trigger happy that
anything they hear they just fire, that's not somebody you
want to be on a hunting trip with. This was
in Iowa, as a seventeen year old kid shot in
the back of the head by somebody in his own
hunting party who thought his head was a squirrel. Well,
I mean, maybe take half a second. I mean, first off,

(01:50:08):
there's squirrel hunting. I guess I didn't even realize that
was still a thing. I don't know. I guess there's
some people will hunt anything. But the group was squirrel
hunting when around three in the afternoon, one of the

(01:50:28):
people in the hunting party mistook this kid who was
over six feet tall, for a squirrel and fired and
hit him in the back of the head. So obviously
it's tragic, but I'm like, Jesus, how do you how
do you whiff that one? Maybe he was wearing a
the squirrel hat. Boy, that's a really bad place to

(01:50:50):
where your squirrel hat. Think on a squirrel hunting trip,
you don't want the decoy on your cabeza. I agree,
But it rushed him to University of Iowa Healthcare Medical Center,
but he was dead on arrival, and so he was
part of the Washington, Iowa High School's boys track and
field team. Of course they posted a lot of tributes.

(01:51:13):
How'd you like to be the other person that party
that then has to go explain to the parents what happened.
I thought he was a squirrel?

Speaker 11 (01:51:21):
You what?

Speaker 2 (01:51:23):
I thought he was a squirrel? But I guess all
bets are off when you're hunting, right, There has to
be more to that. Like I make the joke about
him wearing that hat, but like, maybe he was crouched down,
go into the bathroom. You know, like, oh, no, I
assume he was low to the ground. I don't think
anybody thought that there was like a you know, rocking
the flying squirrel. Yeah, right, but still, I mean, I

(01:51:48):
don't know. So they started to go fund me campaign
for the family, and that's already pulled in over fifty
thousand dollars. By the way, speaking to go fund me,
you want to talk about putting faith in action. Whatever
you think about religious people, I have no God, but

(01:52:08):
whatever you think about how religious people are supposed to
conduct themselves in a culture now where people act the
exact opposite. I was reading about how like the Latter
day Saints they're in Michigan are raising money for the
family of the guy who shot all those people and

(01:52:30):
burned that church. They're like, yeah, it was yor it
was your son who did it. Was a grown ass man,
but he was you know, a Trump guy or something.
Irrespective of that, They're like, yeah, but his family they're
grieving too. I mean, holy cow, I mean that is

(01:52:52):
that's hard to come by people who are acting that way.
They're like, well, yeah, they're a family in grieving and
in crisis too. Like raising money for the shooter's family.
No ultimate forgiveness. Yeah, Allen Corr Show.

Speaker 8 (01:53:09):
On one hundred seven call the Allen cock Show.

Speaker 23 (01:53:15):
I'm sure it'll work for people on vacation when they
don't have to do something, but I can't imagine it
working on a day to day basis two.

Speaker 11 (01:53:21):
One sixty five seven eight one double oh seven or
one eight three four eight one double O seven.

Speaker 2 (01:53:36):
Boy, I couldn't love this band more Turnstile. They're still
goddamn good. I was hoping maybe they were coming through
because I know they're on tour, but they're not. I
can't get out to the West Coast in October raw.
They're never gonna believe it, but I can't. Why Oh Life,
Baby Life. Hey listen, I gotta tell you that Sean

(01:54:01):
Diddy Combs. You know, they just announced the live announcement
of what this guy got, and it was pretty much
in the middle. I mean, you know, the prosecution wanted
him to get eleven years. I said, there's no way
they're going to give him eleven years, and the defense
wanted him to just get basically time served and a
couple of more months. And what did they give him?

(01:54:22):
Four years? Four years? Two months, four years, two months.
There you go. Simply no way to know how many
months total that is, but there you go, four years
and two months. Hold on, uh, fifty wow, fifty months.
Oh he's fifty five. I guess I didn't maybe realize

(01:54:43):
he was that old. I guess I thought, what was
I thinking? Diddy's been aroun forever four years and two months,
so it's not nothing. I mean, it's not eleven years.
I think he was hoping. His best hope was He's like,
well maybe they'll, you know, give me a few more
months and I'll walk out here. But I don't think
there was any way that they were gonna want time

(01:55:03):
served to be his punishment. Well I'm sure it's going
to come into consideration though, you know, like they're gonna
be like, okay, let them out in two years. Well
that's what I'm saying. So totally, he basically got five years,
right because he's been in there for a year. He
was sentenced under the Man Act ironically makes it m
ANN makes it illegal to transport. So they were charging

(01:55:24):
him with human trafficking. Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean I
knew there were a lot of spinning plates in this
and so I didn't again, didn't really pass those initial charges.
I didn't really keep my ear to the ground. But
now again four years and two months, he'll be out
in half that, right, he'll be out in a couple

(01:55:47):
of years. Yeah, that's what I would think. Yeah, jurors
acquitted him of the racketeering conspiracy. They were trying to
get him on a bunch of stuff, but I think
that was the weakest leg of that stool with the
rico charges, and because that's the like life sentence, right, Yeah,
if they got him on sex trafficking and rico charges
and all that kind of crap. They convicted him of

(01:56:09):
flying people across state lines, which is part of trafficking.
But you know when these fils, when they build a case,
they try every possible thing to try you with when
they're when they're going hard. Well, but they said that
at the outset of this whole thing, that that's a
gamble too, because if you throw everything at somebody, that's
how Trump got off. They throw everything at somebody, then

(01:56:32):
they pick it apart and they go, well, there's really
not a whole lot of there there. The Diddy thing,
you had a lot of statements from a lot of people,
you had video evidence, you had you know. Yeah, but
I think everybody knew the racketeering thing wasn't gonna stick, right,
you know what I mean, Like I get what he
was doing, and if the Man Act didn't exist, he
wouldn't be going to jail, you know what I mean.
Like that's on the newer side of things. So yeah,

(01:56:57):
he did. He gave a statement to the judge before
or they came down with a sentencing, said that he
was a new man. Of course, everybody finds Jesus in
the joint right. It's the same law that they put R.
Kelly away with. He said that with his mind clear
of drugs and alcohol, after a year in jail, he

(01:57:19):
can see how rotten he had become for his arrest. Yeah,
it's always the way, isn't it. I Mean, when you're
kind of left to your own devices and there's nobody
telling you no, most people, I think, would go down
a really dark path. If you have everything laid out
in front of you. Human nature is such that most

(01:57:39):
people are going to be like, I'll do some of this,
and i'll do some of that. Then I'll do some
of this, and then when those doors shut you know,
but I think most people will stop at human trafficking.
Well again, it's not. And this was kind of the
case that I think the defense was making. He's like,
these weren't giant shipping containers full of women. This was

(01:58:01):
the legal definition of human trafficking, yeah, which is him
putting a girl on a G six and sending her
out to his party. You know, that was the case
people were trying to make because they were like, yeah,
these girls are getting paid to go to these parties,
and he was flying them out on a private plane.
But the legal definition of sex trafficking falls. The rubric falls,

(01:58:23):
you know under that four years, two months. The judge
tells Seawn Combs to expect a hard time. This is
hard time in prison, away from your family, friends and community,
but you will have a life afterward. That's if nobody
wants to make a name for themselves by taking out

(01:58:44):
Sean Diddy Combs. Oh so it was. By the way,
they're counting his year served. So's he gets three years years?
Oh okay, yep, so he gets three years, all right, Well,
all right, then he'll be out in eighteen months. He
won't even be sixty. He's still got a life right,

(01:59:06):
and now you got cred? I mean did he never
had cred and now you come out. Ah, it wasn't
fifty cent like giving him a hard time the whole
one fifty cent troll on him. Did you see the
whole time? I didn't see what he wrote, but I
saw I saw like a headline that he was like
trolling Diddy. I'm like, why, oh he hates him? Why
that's that's gone going way way back. Let me see

(01:59:28):
if I can find it. He he said the note
to the judge. Oh boy, locked this guy up? Oh yeah, boy,
imagine that. It's one thing to not be on the
guy's side when you're like in the business. It's another
thing to be like, yeah, this guy sucks. That's exactly
what he did. Lock him up. Uh, I'm trying to
judge said, good works don't wash away crimes. Well yeah, so,

(01:59:51):
uh let's see. I'll read it quick here, dear judge,
whatever the guy's name was, I have I have had
an ongoing dispute with Puffy for over twenty years. He's
very dangerous. Multiple times I've feared for my life. I
think you should consider the safety of the general public
your honor before unleashing him upon them. There hasn't been
enough time for him to reform or make any adjustments,

(02:00:11):
despite his trying to teach a class in prison. As
you're already aware, the government has spent the maximum amount
of money on deploying federal agencies, which appeared to be
an army in two locations simultaneously. Later, his son's I
just lost it. Later his son, who did this sounds
exactly like something that fifty cent would write? Well, yeah,

(02:00:33):
I mean it probably was, you know, somebody bus or
chat GPT. But I mean, this guy's writing dangerous menace
to society.

Speaker 7 (02:00:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:00:43):
They've been going at it for you just said twenty years,
I know, But talk about the one to eighty that
that guy did. This guy used to walk through and
you know, oh, here you go. His whole claim to
fame was that nobody was harder than him anyway, did
he's only going to return to hiring more male sex
workers and keeping most of the baby oil away from
the general pubblic Well, now he's trolling them. Why Yeah?

(02:01:08):
But I mean if it just beef like yeah, whatever,
you gotta be a special kind of mad to do that,
I guess, So I remember meeting fifty cent one time
and he was walking down the hallway. I was in
near in Pittsburgh and he was doing an appearance in
our top forty station and he was walking down the

(02:01:30):
hall and the guy basically took up half the hallway
and he had like these two dudes with him, and
he was like getting flanked by these two guys. Oh yeah,
but what a one eighty Right. If your whole bit
is that there's nobody harder than you and now you're
writing letters, that's just f with the guy. Oh yeah,

(02:01:51):
that's not from like some kind of legal perspective, Like
why do that? Why submit a letter like that to
the judge saying I have beef with this? They're like, yeah,
it's not about you, bro, Oh, it's about these women.
I think he was trying to show a pattern of
him being well the pattern was well established. This was
fifty cent throwing himself into the mix. I don't understand

(02:02:12):
the endgame of that. Oh meane, people hadn't talked enough
about fifty cent lately, I guess so. Oh and by
the way, your honor drink vitamin water. Is he still
part of that? Yeah, he's got vitamin and water. What
was his formula fifty four. I don't know what that is.
That was the flavor of vitamin water. Oh, formula fifty

(02:02:34):
vitamin water. It was like, it was great, It's awesome. Okay,
I didn't even know vitamin water was still a thing anymore.
So it was since two thousand and six.

Speaker 7 (02:02:43):
It looks like.

Speaker 2 (02:02:47):
That they've had beef, or that he's been selling purple
vitamin water. Yeah, no, since they've had beef. Oh, it
looks like it started with a disk track called the Bomb,
The Bomb, The Bomb. Okay. Oh, so that fifty cent
that was like in the original rolling out vitamin water
because he was the guy, right, and then Coke bought it.

(02:03:07):
He sold it the coke or whatever. That's where Yeah,
because he was broke. Remember, yes, he had imagined not
horribly far from where I lived in Springfield. Uh, he
was in Connecticut and it was like he lost it.
They repossessed everything, right, I remember that, and vitamin water
brought him back. Yep, Formula fifty right, drink this or

(02:03:29):
die trying. I remember that album that sold a lot
of copies. I got some food news. By the way,
for speaking of celebrities and their beverages. Ben Stiller has
dropped a line of soda. God, yes, because the soda

(02:03:54):
market is so uh, that's not crowded at all. You
go to the stores like a new kind of pop
is on the shelves every week. Oh these are good
for you? Or are they anyway? Why not? Right, celebrities
are looking for nobody's making twenty million dollars a movie anymore,

(02:04:15):
So they're all looking for new revenue streams. Billy Bob
Thornton is in goddamn cell phone commercials. Now, you know,
Parker Posey is driving Hyundais and Jason Bateman is intoning
the narration. Some people have been doing campaigns for a

(02:04:36):
long time. But now the celebrities that you probably would
have never seen before in campaigns because you gotta get
that money. Now they're up against it with like AI actors.
Ben Siller launches Stiller's Soda, the World's refreshingst Soda. Oh boy,

(02:05:02):
the advertisement that I saw. It's a root beer, lemon
lime and Shirley Temple flavor. What is Shirley Temple flavor?
I know Shirley Temple is like a virgin cocktail. Yeah,
they put what is the flavors, the cherry grenadine, grenadine,
so it's like a cherry flavor. Yeah, they put they
put that in like a sprite or gingerreal, that's a okay,

(02:05:24):
throw a cherry in it. Kids feel like they a
little mocktail. The sodas are only thirty calories and are
packed with essential vitamins. And it's got kind of a
I'll show you in the live stream here. It's got
a little bit like an old school kind of vibe too.
It's called Stiller's. I was gonna say I was very
eye rolly until I saw the logo and stuff like,
I kind of I actually kind of dig it. I
think it's cool. It looks like it's school. It's important

(02:05:46):
to point out that it is possessive of his name,
so there is an apostrophe. It's going to be very
confusing to people who want to drink this in Pittsburgh
because you guys got Stellars. No no, there air at
Akershuer Stadium. They're not playing today, They're on the road. No, no, no, still,
I want some Stellars. You got Stellers. I'm thirsty, I'm

(02:06:07):
feeling a little peckish. I got cap and egg down
at Permanny's. I needed six of Stellers. No, they're on
the road, you jag off. They're not even here. You
guys don't have Stellers. You don't sell that the pop?

Speaker 8 (02:06:22):
Oh the pop.

Speaker 2 (02:06:24):
Like Pop Warner. No, like funko pop. I got me
that TJ. Why funko Pop? I walked in there to
the boards and Nobles right there on the shelf. How
about that Aaron Rodgers. Oh he's a saint, ain't he?
He's a savior in black and Gold? My friend, I
forget that guy is playing for them.

Speaker 7 (02:06:46):
I hate it.

Speaker 2 (02:06:49):
So Steller's pop there? You mean like the car iron
carbon alloy. No, no, it's a drink, you know, Ben Stellar,
the Severance. Yeah, he's got a pop.

Speaker 17 (02:07:03):
All right?

Speaker 2 (02:07:03):
Yummy? So much cool story, Brokay.

Speaker 8 (02:07:06):
Cool story bro.

Speaker 2 (02:07:08):
I'll see a Dinah strip district. All right? Maybe John
Eagle sells it. It will be sold exclusively in New
York City and on Amazon. Will also be sold Walmart
dot Com beginning in twenty twenty six. So I guess

(02:07:29):
you'd have to go to Z Bars when you're in
town to get Stillers pop. Ben Stiller dropping a line
of pop?

Speaker 8 (02:07:36):
There?

Speaker 2 (02:07:37):
You can buy it online, yes, Amazon. Reese's Peanut Butter
cups owned by Hershey, by the way, they were sued
by someone who claimed that the Rees's Halloween pumpkin candies
aren't spooky enough. Oh god, people will file a lawsuit

(02:08:00):
for I still don't know why there isn't tort reform.
People who scream about tort reform, they're like, this is
why I know lawyers fight against it, because you know,
they want the jobs. But the judge dismissed the lawsuit
against the Hershey company by somebody who claimed that they're
candies tricked customers by depicting spooky Halloween designs on their packaging.

(02:08:24):
But when you open them up. If you've ever opened
up one of those Reese's Peanut Butter pumpkins, they're just smooth, right,
They're just the shape of a pumpkin. But on the wrapper,
you know, yeah, it's got a face and it's got
a scary thing jack o lanterns and ghosts, and somebody
suit a class action lawsuit a bunch of people. Yeah,

(02:08:48):
let me get on board with that. And so the
judge's like, look, people might have been disappointed by this,
but it's not like the product was flawed. It was
still a chocolate and peanut butter ca it still tastes
of like chocolate, still tastes of like peanut butter. They've
been able to replicate those flavors with whatever fake stuff

(02:09:09):
they've got in there. But again, people file lawsuits and
they go, now' see what happens. I just hate that
it was able to even get to a judge like
that should have never even been able to be filed.
It's so frivolous. There is the wrapping there, Reese's peanut
butter pumpkins got a face on the front. Then you
open it up, of course that's what it looks like.
And they allege deceptive advertising, deceptive advertising. Why didn't you

(02:09:37):
buy one, open it up and go, oh, that's what
it looks like. They said. They dismissed the case, so
this does not constitute economic injury. Nobody lost any money
over this. Nobody's out anything, and it's up to you
what you expect. It's like when you watch a Hamburger

(02:09:59):
commercial and and you go buy one. You know it's
not going to look like what it looks like on television.
One of the most fascinating the conversations I ever had
was with somebody who was a food photographer many years ago,
and they would tell you about all people who shot
commercials and things. And when they tell you about all
of the elements that would be substituted for other elements. Right,

(02:10:19):
cereal commercials, they don't use milk. They use glue because
milk looks gray when it's lit, or it looks too
thin or whatever. Right, So glue is used because it's
thick and it's white and it's whatever. So there's all
kinds of substitutions made for the purposes of advertising and
marketing because a lot of and you know this. If

(02:10:43):
you ever see like a local restaurant who has decided
to put photos of their food online but they don't
know how to light food, and so it looks terrible,
You're like, wow, based on this alone, I would not
want to eat there. Food is something you have to
light and photograph in a very specific way if he
wanted to look appetizing, which is the whole point, because

(02:11:05):
he's trying to get people to buy it and eat it.
But if I'm watching a Burger King commercial, I realize
when I walk in there, it's not gonna look like
the commercial the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas. He
was just a guy who had had enough. And this

(02:11:26):
guy was walking through the city and he was complaining,
why you know, it's just this movie was It's probably
thirty years old, but it was like Boomer Catnip. That's
a movie I can't believe more people aren't talking about
now is Falling Down.

Speaker 11 (02:11:41):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:11:42):
This guy's a middle aged white dude and he lost
his job and he's getting a divorce and his car
breaks down, and so he's walking through la over the
course of the day and nothing goes right and he
runs into some gang bangers. He tells him, what's wrong
with you? And he walks in to get a hamburger

(02:12:04):
for lunch. He's like, why doesn't this look like the picture?
I love the movie, but it was kind of this
like snapshot of grievance in the early nineties. And I'm surprised,
given the tenor of everybody calling themselves victims now that
the more people haven't referenced that movie. Currently, the Earn.

Speaker 8 (02:12:27):

bunch of bowl honky that those peanut butter Reese's pumpkins

(02:15:20):
aren't scary enough. I have nightmares about three things. Corpses,
nuclear war, and peanut butter pumpkins. All right, Ah, take
them at their word. By the way, Stephie asked if
we'd like to join her class action suit against Johnson
and Johnson rob she found out that baby oil is

(02:15:41):
not in fact made from real babies.

Speaker 6 (02:15:43):
Again.

Speaker 2 (02:15:44):
Ah, listen, you gotta love old Street jokes. Well done,
well done, yeah, Alan. A woman sued Tgi Friday's of
the tatar skin snack chips. She thought they were made
out of the actual load potato skins and that they
were healthy. Yeah, those chips. I think maybe there was

(02:16:06):
a part of me that thought that they were dried
potato skins too. I've never had them, but just based
on the bag, maybe wouldn't you just assume it's a
potato chip flavored like that? I think, what this person?
You thought that they were the dried potato skins? Yeah,
but I hope would you do that.

Speaker 9 (02:16:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:16:25):
Give me goddamn potato skins, let dry out to put
into one bag. I know, did she win? They sent
she won? Oh my god. Yeah, everybody knows piles of cheese,
bacon and sour cream or health food. Yeah, I don't know,
there's no you know, I don't ever assume that it's

(02:16:48):
done out of stupidity. I think it's now. There's plenty
to go around of that, to be sure. However, I
always think of it just done out of opportunism. People
that are like, hey, my lawyer doesn't get paid unless
I get paid, so they're going to see to it
that they get something and no harm, no foul. So

(02:17:11):
I think there's a lot of people who think that way,
and you know, you walk away with nothing, you go, okay.
You know. That's why there's people who it's practically their
career that they file frivolous lawsuits. We've talked about them before,
people who were just you know, but you'll read in
the story about some ridiculous lawsuit, and further in the thing,
it'll say it's not the first time she sued Taco

(02:17:32):
Bell or whatever for you know, perceived slights or saying
that they were duped. They're trying to get a homeless
encampment out over there in Tremont or whether it Scranton Cemetery.
They're trying to figure out how to contend with this.
I lived in Tremont for a minute when I first

(02:17:53):
moved to the area. I lived in Tremont in Ohio
City for the better part of five or six years.
And they have a a homeless encampment over there in
you know, Tremont, in the Scranton Cemetery, and the people
who live in that area are trying to figure out
what they can do about that. Except all the people

(02:18:14):
there are dead, So I'm not sure what the issue is.
I mean, I guess if you're going to visit a
loved one, it would be a little bit strange there's
a tent near Pap PAP's grave. But whatever. Hey Joshua, Hello.

Speaker 16 (02:18:28):
Hey, how's it going.

Speaker 2 (02:18:29):
What's going on?

Speaker 8 (02:18:30):
Man?

Speaker 2 (02:18:31):
Thank you? What's up?

Speaker 16 (02:18:32):
Today?

Speaker 2 (02:18:33):
I left work.

Speaker 16 (02:18:34):
I pulled a prink in my box. He's a racist bigot,
so I got some parts pray and he goes to
the john every morning at nine point thirty and then
as soon as he was in there, Iu was spraying
the door down. They sprayed inside his car. I strayed
his work, Steet and yeah, this is reaction. It's like,
oh man, I need to go to the doctor or
something's going round.

Speaker 2 (02:18:54):
I need to go to the doctor. Did not say
I need to go to the doctor because of my farts. Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:19:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:19:03):
And I was like, yeah, man, you should check your guet.
It's pretty bad.

Speaker 11 (02:19:06):
But he was.

Speaker 16 (02:19:07):
He dropped some part R and he fashioned his spanic
and I'm hispanic, like we're going to play a game
where I'm petty. And he walked into part clouds. And
this was today, so Friday part Day. I just want
to say, I thought you would approve of this for
going after racist bigots with parts.

Speaker 2 (02:19:22):
Listen. I'm always against racist bigots, you know, Listen. I
understand where you're coming from, Joshua. It's not going to
change his mind about the things about which we're trying
to change his mind. But if you feel a little
bit better, then I guess that's you know, it is Friday.

Speaker 16 (02:19:37):
It's Friday. You can't breathe. It's graig.

Speaker 2 (02:19:42):
All right, thank you, Joshua, well done. There's Joshua. Robbie
pranked this boss I caught the middle of it. I
was trying to answer some calls there did isn't racist
bigot redundant? Yeah, well yes there are. I think bigotry
you could apply to prejudice in general, racism being a

(02:20:03):
specific kind of prejudice. But yes, of course racist bigot.
But Joshua, good for him. He struck a blow for
justice and equality. And now his boss wonders if he
has to go to the doctor. Good. I hope he
goes through all kinds of testing too. Not only that,

(02:20:25):
but you've got to I hope that the larger point
is not lost on his boss, that it doesn't matter
what you look like on the outside man on the inside,
we're all holding in farts, sure are They're gonna smell
like different things. We're all holding them in this year,

(02:20:47):
I guess they've done this for a few years. The
Taco Bell fifty K is coming up. You ever heard
of the Taco Bell fifty k? If you go to
Taco Bell five zero k dot com, it's an all
tram marathon. It's going to happen in fifteen hours. They
have a ticker there. It starts Saturday at seven thirty

(02:21:07):
am Mountain time. They do this in Denver, and they
give you the Our beer chiefs in Denver probably know
all about this. They give you the map and there
are a lot of rules. You have to go to
all ten Taco Bell stops along the race course, and
you can't cut the course at all, and you have

(02:21:28):
to eat a menu item from at least nine of
the Taco Bell stops. So it's not just the running.
This is for charity. It's not just the running, it's
the eating as well. And by the time you get
these rules are really very very stringent. You know, you
got to go to nine in the ten stops. By
the time you get to the fourth restaurant, you have

(02:21:50):
to have eaten one or two of these things that
they dictate to you. By the time you get to
the eighth you have to have had There's all kinds
of rules in this. You have to finish the whole
thing under eleven hours, and you can't count your drinks
as food, so I couldn't get, you know, like a
mountain dew and say that I had food. They have

(02:22:11):
to keep all of their receipts in all of their wrappers.
They're allowed one bathroom break is what it says, Okay,
what's your name? So if you complete the run and again,
I don't know how frequently or how many years they've
been doing it, but this is not the first year.
It's for a charity partner. They're in Denver, and any

(02:22:36):
kind of anything that might mitigate your stomach problems is forbidden.
So you can't take alca selter, you can't take pepto,
no my Lanta, anything like that. And they have little
side bets that you can do, little prop bets you
can do too. Anybody who can drink an entire two
lead of the Baja Blast and do the run and

(02:22:58):
not puke, you got I don't know who you get
for that. You get an extra thing. I don't know
what it is. But the Taco Bell fifty k going

Speaker 7 (02:25:12):
He's so good. I've had a bad spot on my
left foot. I saw the foot doctor.

Speaker 2 (02:25:19):
You have to get to the.

Speaker 7 (02:25:22):
I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (02:25:24):
Yeah, okay, you saw the foot doctor. And what do
they say, you, you know.

Speaker 7 (02:25:31):
Just keep this on there, keep it dry, yadda YadA yadi.

Speaker 2 (02:25:35):
And what's the what's the problem with the foot?

Speaker 7 (02:25:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:25:40):
Well, well, did he know? I imagine he would know.
What did he say?

Speaker 21 (02:25:45):
Flat feet? I got flat feet. I got two horrendous bunions.

Speaker 7 (02:25:50):
I got a hammer toe.

Speaker 21 (02:25:53):
On the right side, and yeah, turning into the hammer
toe on the left side.

Speaker 7 (02:26:00):
That neuropathy, Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm just a puddle.

Speaker 2 (02:26:10):
You've got a whole bunch of stuff going on. And
that's just one foot two right. You got neuropathy, you
got a hammer toe, you got no art support, you
got what'd you say, horrendous bunions?

Speaker 21 (02:26:23):
Oh my god, dude, my my big toes are literally
like almost a green angle.

Speaker 2 (02:26:31):
You've got like Paronis of the foot. Well, I know
what it's like when when a guy's when a guy's
dog is like at a ninety degree angle, it's yeah,
you've got like pones of the toe.

Speaker 7 (02:26:46):
Yeah, definite parones in my in the seats.

Speaker 2 (02:26:51):
So you're so those those those horrendous bunions are really
causing a lot of problems. Right, You get that big
bump on the outside of you. Yeah, a hammer toe, Yeah,
good gravy. And so there's really not that much that
he can do, right, he just goes, here's the thing.

(02:27:12):
I know.

Speaker 7 (02:27:12):
It's awful and it is bad and it sucks, but
at least I have feet.

Speaker 2 (02:27:19):
Yes, you're always glass half full, Sue. You know some
people Walter Williams calls us all the time double amputee.
He's but you at least have feet. They are, Yes,
they're they're they're painted.

Speaker 7 (02:27:34):
And I got it.

Speaker 2 (02:27:35):
Mm hmm mm hmm. And so how did you end
up that way? Sue? Did you just wear shoes for
decades didn't fit? Is it hereditary? What happened?

Speaker 10 (02:27:44):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:27:44):
I just I had good tennis shoes, but I was
walking on concrete a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:27:50):
Yeah, okay, in my shop jobs.

Speaker 21 (02:27:53):
You just got the point where, let me want to
get it on two step better let it alone a
big better.

Speaker 7 (02:28:01):
Like I used to the paint and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (02:28:03):
I understand. So it's just a boid now where you
have to you have to manage your bunions.

Speaker 7 (02:28:10):
Yeah, or it hindes me. It tells me what I'm
allowed to do, what I ain't right, Okay, yeah, well
I have to I have to me for a couple
of days.

Speaker 2 (02:28:22):
I have to assume sue that that with something like bunions,
you probably have to avoid like salt right, you don't
want to. You don't want you're trying to minimize your inflammation.

Speaker 7 (02:28:32):
Yeah, well good for good luck for that.

Speaker 2 (02:28:35):
All right? Can you can you? And there's no way
you can pop your toes back into place.

Speaker 7 (02:28:40):
Right like, oh god, now they're stuck, all make them
go forward.

Speaker 2 (02:28:47):
I understand it sounds terrible, but you're managing it right.

Speaker 7 (02:28:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, I know for a fact. People got
a worse than I do. And that's what I'm grateful
every day.

Speaker 2 (02:28:58):
Oh good and say, hey, guys, I'll tell you what
the god right God?

Speaker 7 (02:29:05):
And b you don't believe, but I do.

Speaker 2 (02:29:08):
I don't and you know I don't believe. I'm an atheist,
and yet I don't have bunions, so imagine that there's
no there's no justice justice right. Yeah, but you're a
couple of years older than me.

Speaker 7 (02:29:24):
I know, I wrote down I wrote down something for
another T shirt. Yeah, says the older you get, the
quicker you get old. I still got to get that
other one we were talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:29:40):
And what was the other one? Refreshed my memory?

Speaker 7 (02:29:46):
I'm good, God, what was it? I did set it
in my head because I was going to tell you. Oh,
I couldn't give less even if I tried.

Speaker 2 (02:30:03):
All right, thank you, Sue. You take care of yourself.

Speaker 3 (02:30:12):
Dealing with some.

Speaker 12 (02:30:14):
Issues.

Speaker 2 (02:30:17):
Bunyons.

Speaker 6 (02:30:18):
Yeah that was a lot, Sue.

Speaker 2 (02:30:24):
That's why you can't believe it a benevolent gods. Very descriptive. Listen, man,
this is the eatery of the mind rob. I need
a very descriptive explanation. I don't think I listen. I
like her outlook on life. She's like, yeah, I got bunions. Yeah,

(02:30:47):
my toes are all running away from each other. But
Lisa have feet. But for how long well, I mean,
I don't know, but for now, for now, she has feet.
I just assume it's going to be a past tense
type of thing very soon, Alan Porsue's toes probably look
like somebody spilled the shrimp cocktail on the floor. Yuck. Oh,

(02:31:12):
come on horrendous bunions tomorrow night. However, in two hours
to midnight, I'm very excited to play them for you,
like in Parmissing Funky Cold Lymphedema. Right, thank you, Mike.
All done. Sue's footprints probably look like Google maps right

(02:31:33):
Land of ten Thousand Lakes A Teddy, Hello, Teddy, This
is Teddy.

Speaker 1 (02:31:42):
Yeah, that's Teddy.

Speaker 2 (02:31:43):
What's up, Teddy?

Speaker 1 (02:31:46):
What's going on?

Speaker 15 (02:31:47):
Man?

Speaker 2 (02:31:47):
How are you today? Hanging out?

Speaker 11 (02:31:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:31:52):
How everyone doing that?

Speaker 1 (02:31:53):
Are used to be an intern for the Maxwell Show.
I don't know how many people are still around, but
I just wanted to call and see what was going on.
I used to be, uh, you know, former graduate of
the House Center for Broadcasting.

Speaker 11 (02:32:07):
You know it.

Speaker 1 (02:32:07):
It'd be awesome if you guys could kind of, you know,
point me in the right direction. Maybe you get an
unpaid internship. You know, I'm sober now. I got to
do volunteer work.

Speaker 2 (02:32:17):
So oh boy, I mean we don't have we don't
have it. But you were already an intern, Teddy?

Speaker 1 (02:32:23):
Yeah, I was an intern before I even went to OCB. Yep,
So you know what happened was what had happened was I, uh,
I had a beer at like the Saint Patti's Day
Extravaganza where they were broadcasting from the Harry Buffalo, and
then like the next time we went to the Velvet Dog,

(02:32:45):
I had a few more beers, you know, and they
they kind of let me go. So you know, that's
one of those.

Speaker 2 (02:32:52):
Yeah, but we all but we all have teddy, we
all have beers at events. Did you get rowdy or
did you get there?

Speaker 11 (02:32:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:32:57):
Yeah, no I didn't.

Speaker 1 (02:32:58):
I didn't get rowdy. What it was was I just
started and it was kind of like who's this dude,
you know, not even asking permission, sneaking off and chugging
beers real quick and coming back like it held my energy.

Speaker 2 (02:33:11):
For the promotions, you know, but uh you mean instead
of you mean, instead of of working, you were drinking
on the side there.

Speaker 1 (02:33:21):
Yeah, like if I had two or three minutes, you know,
I'd go run to the bar real quick, have a drink,
and then come back to my work.

Speaker 11 (02:33:28):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:33:28):
Yeah, I want to be gone for a.

Speaker 1 (02:33:29):
Couple of minutes at a time, but you know, It's
not something you want to do when you're trying to
get your foot in.

Speaker 2 (02:33:34):
The door, you know, I see, well what were you
trying to do? What did you want to do if
you got your foot in the door. I mean, we
don't have an internship program, Teddy, Oh you don't anymore.
We haven't had interns for a long time now. There
were too many of them that thought that they should
have gotten paid and started suing the company. And so
the company was like, yeah, yeah, I think we're okay.

(02:33:55):
And so now we have you know, co hosts, answering
phones and things like that. Yeah, a lot of fun,
fun for them. A lofty idea. That's a lofty idea
for me.

Speaker 1 (02:34:05):
You know, I don't know if you guys would I
got playing material, but you know, I don't think i'd
be allowed to.

Speaker 2 (02:34:16):
Be a co host.

Speaker 8 (02:34:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:34:18):
I wasn't talking about you, Teddy. I was talking about
my current Listen, what do you do now, Teddy?

Speaker 1 (02:34:26):
Right now, I am currently taking care of some sobriety issues.

Speaker 7 (02:34:34):
I had just.

Speaker 1 (02:34:36):
Dealt with some troubles with the law and what I
do now, I'm at a sober house and you know,
I'm working my steps.

Speaker 2 (02:34:44):
You thought that. I mean, I I applaud you you
thought that that was a good time to get into
an internship program. It sounds like you got to focus
on your recovery, Teddy.

Speaker 1 (02:34:58):
Absolutely absolutely. I mean I had idea for like, uh,
I think you were talking about like so sober radio,
recovery radio, you know, like you could make a whole
XM station.

Speaker 2 (02:35:10):
Was Yeah, I wish you nothing but the best, Teddy,
and uh good to hear from you.

Speaker 1 (02:35:23):
Could make your acquaintance here on the show. I appreciate
you guys, have a great one.

Speaker 2 (02:35:27):
You got it. Thank you. There's Teddy, former intern back
in the day and uh dealing with what he calls
some sobriety issues rob yep and so uh I wish
him success in his recovery because it's never ending. You know,
you are always in recovery. It's not like you've got

(02:35:48):
a beginning point and an end point. It's something about
which you always have to remain diligent. And but it
sounds like, uh, it sounds like a lot of his
time is going to be taken up with that for
right now.

Speaker 8 (02:36:00):
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (02:36:01):
Yeah, I would say, get through that then maybe look
at it there you go yep, you want it. You
talk about doing your steps, You've got those steps and
then you've got all kinds of other steps too. So right,
Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 8 (02:36:14):
On one hundred, call the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 23 (02:36:20):
Girls, This is your opportunity right here, a nice boy,
let me tell you that.

Speaker 11 (02:36:24):
Two seven eight one, double O seven.

Speaker 8 (02:36:28):
Eighty one, double O seven.

Speaker 6 (02:36:29):
They buy you lots of presents.

Speaker 8 (02:36:32):
They put your.

Speaker 10 (02:36:33):
Pictures on the wall. They make a special meals for
you and make you eat it on. They pinched you
on the cheek. They say bless you when you sneeze.
But when it comes to Saturday not they're working double
time on their knees because they're prostitute grandma.

Speaker 2 (02:36:55):
They're too old to see and too old to hear.
The prostitute grandma. Not to take it in the rear.
That's the tooth Grandma. That's the favorite singer is Burt Beckerach.
That's tooth Grandma. Once ago old, you never go back. Oh,
I'll tell you what, rob That song has never been

(02:37:17):
more relevant than in twenty twenty five. The rise of
the guilf economy. Old people have found themselves in unenviable
positions with respect to income and social status, but fortunately
for them. For older women in particular who might be

(02:37:43):
locked out of traditional jobs, there's a rise in interests
in the Guilf's rob old women on only fans and
why not. Imagine you're just kind of scanning through and
you know, whip around the corner and there's Nana doing

(02:38:03):
unspeakable things to herself. But this is what we've set up.
You know, there are other countries where they revere their elders,
not here, treat them like garbage. And so what you're
finding this article is reading. You're finding more and more people,
primarily women, obviously, some of whom will do OnlyFans with

(02:38:25):
their partner, People in their mid sixties, early seventies. I
was reading a profile of a woman who is now
a great grandmother who performs on chatterbait. Oh boy, He's like,
I didn't even know this was a thing until a

(02:38:45):
couple of years ago. And so now she's on it
and they're making some money, she and her partner. You know,
they're just on there.

Speaker 19 (02:38:55):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:38:56):
I've never been on chatter bait, I know what it is.
I've seen advertisements whatever been on there, you know, but
people request what they want you to do. And then
they send you money. They send you tokens there, right,
and this woman's like, I'm raking in cash. Her very
first day on chatterbait as a seventy one year old

(02:39:19):
great grandmother, she made forty dollars rob forty bucks. Wow,
pretty good. Well, it's a lot of money. Since the
chatterbait tokens are a nickel, they're worth five cents now.
They simply know it. In know how many five cent
tokens goes into forty dollars. But they kept on doing it.

(02:39:39):
And in an age where you know, some poor and
enthusiasts have gotten used to you know, idealized looks or whatever,
the real life older women, that is a growing section,
if you will, of this of this genre, Joel. Yeah,

(02:40:02):
so this woman, now, you know, there is the the
added level of difficulty of making sure that your grandchildren
and great grandchildren you probably don't want them to find out.
But they've got the they've got a little room in
their house that they've set up as a kind of
staging for them. Right, she looks like a traditional grandma.

(02:40:28):
And you know, they've got a couple of pillows in
the frame, they've got a half empty bottle of ky or,
as I like to think of it, half full. And
they do chatterbait five days a week, about three hours
in the afternoon. This is their job. Why live at
you know, older people. Fortunately, I guess depending on how

(02:40:52):
you look at it, it is an option open to them.
Of course, big picture, it is an awful and no
you know, no shame or in it or anything. But
big picture, it's not like people want to be doing this, right,
It's not like your ninety five year old grandmother wants
to be working in fast food. But this woman's doing

(02:41:16):
it and gets a lot of requests. Her most popular
request anal. Now, listen, crepe, you've got a seventy one
year old great grandmother on chatter bait. Again, nobody's twisting
her arm. But the economy is what it is, and

(02:41:38):
it's gonna get worse. There's an opportunity there for her
to make a little bit of money. She goes, look,
I'm my own boss. Now, I wouldn't think that advanced
age is when you'd want to start loosening that part
of your body up.

Speaker 6 (02:41:57):
No, but.

Speaker 2 (02:42:00):
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Well, you're also assuming
that she isn't already used to that particular you know
what I mean. She may be like a star from
way back with that Mmmm, she just start Oh, I
see what you mean, just not filming like pop pop
might have been throwing it to her back there for years. Yeah,

(02:42:21):
they have seen about a sixty percent jump in performers
of an older demographic and the av Awards right the
Oscars of Porn. Next year they will hand out their
very first Guilf Performer of the Year award. Imagine your

(02:42:45):
my grandma won Guilf Performer of the Year for people
who might not be putting two and two together. You
know what a milf is. A Gilf is a grandma.
Now a good Guilf a great is this right?

Speaker 7 (02:43:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:43:06):
And if you win that award, not only will you
be a great grandma, you'll be the greatest Grandma of
the year. And so the people who keep an eye
on these things are like, Look, there's been a real
increase in not only the number of older performers, but
their popularity. We've talked about this before, man, I think

(02:43:28):
it's because grandma's are way different. Now. Grandma's don't look
like what your grandma and my grandma looked like, no,
they got sleeve tats and they got the hot and
hot like you see a lot of hot. Grandma. Well,
she's a seventy one year old great grandma and she
said part of her appeal is that she does look
like a grandma. I don't, okay, so I'm taking her

(02:43:51):
word for it. But it's also you know, you can
you can pitch it as oh, it's empowering. You know,
women over fifty, as far as pop culture goes, are
kind of tossed to the side. So it can be
very affirming obviously if you're an older creator in this space.
But my thought is still this probably wasn't your most

(02:44:15):
favorite option. But who knows, if not firming, at least affirming, right,
because it's like, you know, if you're a seventy one
year old woman, do you want to be driving Lyft?
Do you want to maybe get held up driving for
Uber at midnight? Now you're at home, you're comfy, you

(02:44:38):
got a half bottle of ky jelly. You're gonna be fine.

Speaker 5 (02:44:46):
And so.

Speaker 2 (02:44:48):
The a lot more gilts are in the space, and
so you know, and these are people who are like
I would have never done traditional porn, you know, even
back in the day, if somebody had approached me, I
would not have done that. But everybody controls their own
space now, you know, everybody of every demographic. That's why

(02:45:10):
this stuff is so attractive, because you're your own boss
and the after a little while of doing it. The
great grandmother makes about three grand a week. That's good money,
that's not bad. Another woman works from six a to
ten P. I mean, make no mistake, boy, these are

(02:45:31):
full time jobs, no matter how old you are. People
that make money on OnlyFans and things like that, it's
a full time job because you constantly got to feed
the beast. I assume that's what she calls her Virgina.
She works from eight to ten p Monday through Friday,
posting content, messaging fans, and jumping on video calls. You know,

(02:45:54):
the money's in the tips. It's just digital retail, that's
all it is. She said. Her clients range in age
from eighteen to seventy four, but most of them are
guys in their early thirties to early forties. Older men
like connecting with someone closer to their own age. I've

(02:46:14):
got a recipe for apple brown, Betty, You're really going
to enjoy now this next move. I also call the
apple brown Betty, and it's a little more difficult to do,
but I think you'll enjoy it. So she's on there
doing it and making it happen. This one's called the

(02:46:38):
Canadian drive by. First I wrap it in bacon, and
then I butt chuck a sixer of Molson, and then
I insert half a dozen timbits. I'll let you decide where.

(02:47:00):
Grandma Yeah, a sixty year old British mother, said she
wanted flexible work that she could do while raising her
daughter and running a horse stable. Golly, I wonder if
she ever works. Mister ed into the proceedings. Oh, I'm
just running. I'm over here running me horse stable and
raising me doota and doing another cam work on the side.

(02:47:23):
Said she got her start selling her used underwear seven
years ago. I thought it was an easy way to
make money. She said. She soon realized she was wrong
because customers asked for more. They wanted pictures of her
with a panties on, they wanted live video calls, and
she started doing all that, and she said she now

(02:47:44):
makes about seventy thousand dollars a year. It's not that,
but she takes home about half that after currency conversion
and the platforms, she said, take about twenty to thirty
percent of the earnings. All right, not great. Yeah, the
platforms are making the money. You got to make a
lot of money to be taken home a lot of money.
Imagine you're that guy, right, you got this Grandma guilf

(02:48:06):
fetish clicking through chatterbait or only fans you type in Guilf,
it up, pops your grandma. Could you imagine? I mean
I can't because my grandma's been dead for almost ten years.
I would be terrified if my dead grandmother showed up
on chatterbait. Let's say, for an example, this was ten

(02:48:26):
years ago and she was still living. Oh yeah, scrolling
through and you saw grandma yep, Oh my god, she's
worrying nothing but her cubs hat on top of her hair. Well,
I just had it set.

Speaker 15 (02:48:42):
Eh.

Speaker 2 (02:48:43):
Would you like to see under my house coat? Oh god, grandma.
This woman's daughter, who is seventeen, is aware of what
she does. She says, she's cool with it. Doesn't ask
me any questions. I'm glad she doesn't ask me any questions,
is what she said. And so a lot of the
older women won't do even though it's one of the

(02:49:04):
best selling genres. They won't do like step mom's step
son stuff because she's like, we have kids and grandkids
and it just feels weird. So, yeah, we're not going
to do this. Trouble is, people can steal your content,
and that's what these two were finding out. This guy,

(02:49:25):
this woman and her partner. She's like, unfortunately, people just
lift your stuff and throw it to porn sites and
then you got to call them and ask them to
take it down. What a pain in the ass.

Speaker 11 (02:49:37):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:49:38):
Yeah, So anyway, as a woman who started an only
Fans after her cat got sick and it was a
fifteen hundred dollars vet bill, that's ironic. Ed've got a
sick cat. You sure do that now, I've got a
very sick cat. She ended up making over ten thousand
dollars the first month. She said she makes five figures

(02:50:01):
a month and works several months out of the year.
She said she knows that's unusual. Most people are lucky.
If they're pulling in a few hundred dollars a month,
well at that great, Why do it? If it's a
couple hundred bucks a month? Why bother? She's walking around
money just fifty you're getting five digits a month, that's
worth doing. Yeah, one hundred bucks. Oh she's getting five

(02:50:21):
digits a month. Oh I got more, Brian. Yes, you're
gonna know this song too.
