Speaker 2 (00:48):
As Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 6 (01:04):
Gay?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Good afternoon high readings?

Speaker 7 (01:11):
This bumpshi fi. So, my name's Alan Cox. Thanks for
being here. Say hi to Rob Anthony's man, he's right
over there. Oh what a Friday. What a friday? You know,
in the midst of all this NBA stuff, now that
the mafia is back in the news because of these

(01:33):
alleged fixed games and all this stuff. If you've read
any of their articles. By the way, I'm the tech
that they were using these games, like nobody had a
chance at these games, right, But there's uh. I was
reading an article on like people who like mob guys
who went into witness relocation, you know, because a lot
of those old school mobsters, a lot of those guys

(01:55):
died of old age, cozy in their beds, you know. Yeah,
some of them were in prison, but a lot of
the guys at the very top, and it was the
underlings that would usually get pinched. And so the guy
at the very top, you know, the boss of the family,
he'd cack out at ninety five.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
In his bed in Green Point or whatever.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
But I like the stories of the guys who went
on the ground and then like invariably they're caught down
the road or in everybody thinks about that. When Gotty
was watching a Gotty documentary a couple of years ago,
and Sammy the boll Gravano was his right hand man,
and he was also instrumental in getting got He pinched.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
And so Sammy goes into witness relocation. But he just.

Speaker 7 (02:36):
Couldn't he just couldn't not tell people who he was.
You know, they give you a new name. They moved
him at the Phoenix or whatever it was. And he
was pretty quiet for a while, but he just couldn't
let anybody not know who he really was. And then
I think he ended up doing prison time because he
and his son were running a meth ring or something

(02:57):
like that. I don't even know if Sammy Gravana was
still alive, but he is, is he really?

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah? He's a hard on.

Speaker 7 (03:02):
Yeah, God he's gone. But Samy Gravana, he's a rat rob,
He's a rat. He's thinking rat.

Speaker 8 (03:08):
Listen, I get, I get the rat stuff. A guy
like Sammy the Bull. It's just he's just more in
love with who he is than anything else.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
There's no there's no reason in the world. If you're
out stay out right.

Speaker 8 (03:22):
If you're gonna be that person, be that rat, save yourself,
save yourself.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 9 (03:27):
He had.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Everybody who he was. Hey, you know him.

Speaker 8 (03:31):
Actually, you know the guys you are the most afraid
of in this world, The guys that don't tell you
who they are. Yeah, the guys that don't brag about
that kind of stuff. Those are the guys to be
afraid of. The Guys that sit there and pound their
chest about what big tough guys they are.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Those are the ones. Well, you know, sometimes things don't
work out so well.

Speaker 7 (03:46):
You know, there's a lot of commentary in our current
culture about things like pardon me, about things like fat shaming.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Right, you're not supposed to fat shame people. You know.

Speaker 7 (03:55):
The last place in our culture we're calling somebody fat
as a compliment, it's the Mafia.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Hey, fat Tony Seleno, that's what I'm gonna called me, Anthony,
but fat done. Stansbury calls me that from like the
city he calls you. Oh yeah, he'll send me that
picture Montagna.

Speaker 8 (04:13):
Yeah yeah, I'll say, hey, Dan, I need you to
do this for me, whatever you need, boss, And they'll
send me the the picture of fat Tony.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
Yeah, nobody got upset. Well, I can't say nobody. I
don't know these people. But you never really heard stories
about people getting upset at their nickname in the mafia.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
You know Vincent, the chin gigante. Oh why you call
him that? Because he's got a big chick. Oh.

Speaker 7 (04:36):
You know, they would take the most prominent physical feature,
like in Goodfellas, and they have Tommy two times or
whatever he says, and everything Jimmy two times because he
said everything two times.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
We'll get the papies get the papers. Yeah, I love it.
Oh fat Tony.

Speaker 7 (04:51):
And they were all kinds of fat guys, you know,
called fat And so I wonder if we're going to
find out as this NBA thing and the ripples of this,
we haven't even begun to see where this is gonna go.
They got themselves a couple of big names and and uh,
but but I would like to know which organized crime

(05:12):
dudes were involved. And I know it's twenty twenty five,
it's not the seventies anymore. But I wonder if the
nicknames are still as prominent as they once were, or
if they've updated the names, you know, like, hey, this
is Anthony cyber punk Jigane.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, because he was always on that stupid computer.

Speaker 8 (05:32):
Oh watch out here comes the it guy.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
Johnny I t Johnny it Lowie a nap Why because
he's sleep beating.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
No, his name's the Napoli.

Speaker 8 (05:43):
We just shouldn't. Yeah, that dude. That stuff was all
very very real. I grew up pretty close to a
lot of that stuff. Uh, And the nicknames and all
that stuff. They would go for the most obvious thing.
If you were missing a finger, that's what you were.
If you were missing an arm, you were lefty.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
I went to high school with a kid whose dad
was in the mob, And then I worked with a
guy in Pittsburgh who didn't want anybody to know that
he was his grandparents or his grandfather was from one
of the big crime families, and somehow somebody found out
and he just did not want anything to do with it.
He wanted to kind of went to school where there
wasn't really over the top about it either, but like

(06:21):
everybody knew. It wasn't like he was coming to school with,
you know, giant plates of ZD every day or something
like that. But but the article I was reading was
about Vincent Kafaro, Vincent Fish Kafaro.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Hey, he likes jam bands. What are you gonna do?

Speaker 8 (06:37):
It's Phi, Yeah, vin Fish, he looks watched, he's got
long hair, walks around in Berkenstein.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
He's got gills. What do you want? He's a real potheid. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:49):
This is a guy who disappeared and he went into
went underground, and I think they eventually scooped him up
under an alias for something else not not organne crime related,
something dumb like shoplifting or.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
Something that's usually when they get like coponent the jail
for tax evasion. Yeah, I mean, like it's usually that's
what they end up geting on because most of the
other stuff they could figure out how to make it
not stick.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
Yeah, they found Vinnie to Fish Kafaro many years later
in Greensboro, North Carolina, under the name Vincent Ronga. But
they do the side by side photos and they're like,
this is the same guy. They picked them up like
shoplifting or something, or drunk driving, you know what I mean.
Like these guys are probably always looking over their shoulder.
You figure that's the thing. I'll be safe in Greensboro,

(07:31):
North Carolina. Nobody's looking for me there. And it doesn't
sound like he did. It's like, you know, you got
to live in an apartment complex and you're shopping at
the Kroger and it's like the last frame of Goodfellows
where Henry Hill's standing on the porch in Phoenix or whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
The other day, I ordered Linguini and Marinera and they
brought me egg noodles and ketchup. Now I'm forced to
live my life like an everyday shnook.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yeah, oh man, you know that whole movie I do mean,
I've seen, Yeah, I'm not that I've seen it a
bunch of times, but some people you might be one
of them, have that movie memoriz every scene.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Not.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
One of the best openings to a movie ever. Paully
Walnuts is in the beginning of that movie.

Speaker 8 (08:10):
You know that from The Sopranos, You know, right when
he says the For as long as I could remember,
Alway wanted to be a gangster car Fulsa. When they
pull up outside of the cab, stand guy standing outside
Pauli Walnuts, young Pauly Walnuts.

Speaker 7 (08:22):
Well, because the guy that they stab, Billy Batts, is
that who it was?

Speaker 1 (08:26):
He was?

Speaker 7 (08:26):
What's his name he was? He was in a Sopranos too,
He's Phillyotardo. Yeah, you wasted six f and aprons on
this Mutt. Yeah. I forget the actor's name, but I
think he's gone now too. But phill Leotardo gets killed
because his head falls under the suv tires. Yeah in
the Sopranos. Yeah, yeah, he's a wife's riding shotgun and

(08:48):
great scene. His name is Vincent something.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, I'm pulling him up. Frank Vincent, Frank Vincent, there
you go. And Frank Rizzo. I think he is dead.
He did. Yeah, he died in twenty seventeen. There you go,
because uh yeah, Okay, So anyway, I was reading an
article on one of those mob guys simply because I

(09:13):
pissed off the cleaning late this morning. And I really
didn't even mean too which cleaning me. I don't even know.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
One of the older ones, not one of the two
main ones that we see walking around was probably man
was maybe a quarter to nine, and I'm coming one
way down the hall and Bill Wills is coming the
other way, and we're clearly both gonna go to the bathroom,
and the woman's cleaning the bathroom, so she's got the
door almost it's completely obscured by the cart yep, you know,

(09:38):
and Will's to be you know, he's a classy dude.
He just goes, oh, I'll come back, and I go,
I really had a pish and I wanted to wash
my hands and you or whatever, and uh, I scoot,
you know, I'm quite live, rob Yeah, and I kind
of shimmy sideways passed her cart into she.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Was not oh, because she was in there at the time.

Speaker 7 (09:59):
Well, she's just wiping things down. I mean, I didn't
mean to get in her way. And had I known
that space was going to be so tight, I probably
wouldn't have done that. But I just figured, oh, I
can shimmy right by. And she was like, Christ, yeah,
it was my fault. Yeah, but she I was like,
I'm sorry, sorry. I washed my hands and because you know,

(10:20):
the one end of that card is like a mop bucket,
and I didn't mean to do all that, but I
really needed to.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Wash my hand.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
I'd grab something gross in the garage and I really
need to wash my hands, and I head of a
pish and uh I.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
So I just figured I would scoop by. I'm like,
you know, no harm, no foul, an audible Jesus Christ
would have that would have brought something out of me
like I would have either taken my time, no, no, no longer,
or I would have been like, excuse me no, because
I was getting in I was getting in her way.
Have any more TP. I don't like what you have
in here right now, I'd force a pooh. We did
get some thicker paper towels in there. I saw it.

Speaker 10 (10:55):
Yeah, nice car show on one hundred POINTSMS.

Speaker 11 (11:03):
It seems a little unfair that you can watch our
live stream but we can't see.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
You, but we'll fix that tonight.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Outside your window.

Speaker 12 (11:18):
Show on seven domma another one thousand dollars for you.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
About eight minutes away, as close to two thirty as
I can get it for your convenience. Last four keywords
of the week and of this afternoon to put one
thousand dollars in your pocket from the buzzard. Bookie still
got about three more weeks on this, so you have
a lot of chances to win, even if you haven't yet.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Calves had a night off.

Speaker 7 (11:54):
But they're back at it tonight to take on the
Brooklyn Nets, hoping to get to one and one after
that loss the other night, the season opener against the Knicks,
And so the Barclay Center tonight, seven thirty is your
tip off? Is the Is the makeup of the team
still the same, same guys are hurt, same five nude
guys are in there for.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
The most part, the most part. Yeah, yeah, I think
you will see a much different outcome tonight, and the
Calves are going to look exponentially better to anyone who
watched that first game.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
Okay, learning from their mistakes from night one.

Speaker 8 (12:26):
I think it's a little bit of everything. They got
the night one jitters of playing in Madison Square Garden.
Now the Nets are a much less of a team
than the Knicks are.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Oh is that true? Oh yeah, oh okay, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:37):
This should be exactly what the Calves need after an
eight point lost the other night, because again, they were
chasing their tails all night.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Okay, I don't see that again.

Speaker 8 (12:47):
I'm not claiming to be the world's brightest when it
comes to sports betting, but I would say this is
one of those with the Calves. Probably a good one
to look at if you're thinking about putting a couple
of bucks down.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Who's the big guy in the Nets? H Smith? Uh No,
it's Isn't that a guy? What the hell is his name?

Speaker 13 (13:08):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
You had to ask, No Clowney Noll, Terrence Man, Michael
Porter Jr. At t N's is good. Yeah, they've got.

Speaker 7 (13:20):
Their Jenny Woolf, Jalen Wilson, Cam Thomas. I'm just pulling
these names off the top of my head. Jadell Heywood,
high Smith already said him day Ron Sharpie. That's probably
sharp anyway. Sharpey rough Rough and they got blown out
by the Hornets the other night. It's Uh, Claxton's their

(13:42):
big guy. That's who I was thinking of. Nick Claxton. Okay,
well that'll be tonight here on w m MS, and
you can also listen on the iHeartRadio app. I got
a letter from whom I had a letter from, Andrea Alan.

(14:03):
Yesterday's show, you were mentioning tomorrow, second oldest lion in
captivity in the United States passed away at the Akron
Zoo right in our backyard.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
We had a piece.

Speaker 7 (14:13):
Of the animal kingdom history and don't even know it.
Andrea down Kaihoga Falls, who goes, Hey, listen, I want
to share this picture I took.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
You'll see this roun here in a second.

Speaker 7 (14:25):
I wanted to share this picture I took when I
was down there to see Tomorrow a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
There you go.

Speaker 7 (14:31):
He was in repose sleeping a nice, big hairy pair
right there from tomorrow. Congratulations tomorrow. There it'll show up.
Come on, it's lying there and fuzzy dice. Yes, I
appreciate that some of the female listeners in our audience
are just as Julie as we are. Those handwarmers. Oh

(14:55):
you had a set on him? Huh you sure it does. Yeah, yep,
couple of golf balls. Yeah, I had rip tomor what
do you think they do? Do they cremate an animal?
You know, they euthanize them obviously, so they do the crematum.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
I think the holes are too big to dig, right,
you got to.

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Well no, no, I wasn't suggesting burial. I mean, do
they I thought maybe they had like a giant, industrial
size like Fargo type chipper that they would just lower
these animals into.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, freeze the first just blast them into the lake. Yeah. No,
I would imagine they are cremated.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
Or even more controversial in me with this atcha natural
resources being what they are, is there any danger in
feeding tamar to the other animals? You know, if you
can't keep it in your pants, keep it in the family.
That was the Cock's family crest at Moto. And so

(15:48):
if you're going to uh, you know you want to
go route to tutor on these things.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Just imagine the cocks coat of arms. Yeah, yeah, my
parents were so.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
You know, I've posted photos over the years when I've
gone home. I only get home a couple times a year.
I like to go in the summer to see my family.
And then I told my mom that Thanksgiving what you
put me on the calendar for coming home every year
for Thanksgiving? This year, I didn't get home for the summer.
So when we're all together, we will take photos. And

(16:23):
I guess I never really noticed it because I grew
up with it. But comments when I post these storms
like wow, your family likes novelty T shirts, and I
was like, wow, I guess so right. There was one
photo from a couple of summers ago. I happened to
be home for my birthday, probably twenty twenty two, twenty three,
and there's a group shot of me. My dad was

(16:44):
still alive, so this would have been prior to twenty
twenty two. Actually, my dad, my mom, me and all
my siblings and I didn't have a novelty I don't
think I had a novelty T shirt on, but everybody
else did.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is that They were like, wow, you really like not my.

Speaker 7 (16:57):
Mom, because my mom's always gussied up, Like I've never
seen my mom ponytail and jeans, right, Like my mom
puts heels on to go to the grocery store.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
But yeah, my dad had one of those T shirts on.

Speaker 7 (17:07):
You know, don't touch my tools or my daughter you
know that kind of stuff. And when I was a kid,
my mom loved making novelty shirts with our name on them, right,
so it would be like our last name or surnames.
You'd be like Cox University or all these weird dumb
crap that you get from like the finger Hut catalog
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
You know.

Speaker 7 (17:27):
And so, but I, I guess because I grew up
with it, it never really occurred to me. And of
course now I have four thousand T shirts of my own,
and I guess you could.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
They're not necessarily novelty shirts, you know, would they need
joke shirts? Like did you get you?

Speaker 14 (17:42):
How?

Speaker 7 (17:43):
Those lines? That's what I think of with novelty shirts.
You know, you'll see people in the grocery store. You know,
they don't call me bitch for nothing. Or you know,
older women with like T shirts on that were clearly
gifted to that that kind of thing, and it makes
me laugh.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
You know, if I want your opinion, I'll give it
to you. Fart. Yeah, So it wasn't. It didn't. It
wasn't that scantological.

Speaker 7 (18:06):
It didn't rise to that level, but it was always
I guess it didn't occur to me until I looked
at those.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
At those photos, and uh, that's very funny.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
You could have given me fifty guesses at like, you know, something,
to pick something random about my parents from things I've
said over time. Right, I would have never, in a
million years guess that novelty t sher.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Never? Yeah, right, no, who would.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
That's so it didn't occur to me until I was
casting my mind back and it was you know, yeah,
that's hysterical.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Hevin does it?

Speaker 7 (18:36):
Me in hell is afraid I'll take over all these
like dumb. They're just bumper sticker shirts, you know what
I mean. They're bumper sticker T shirts. Your problem is obvious,
and it's a good cartoon of a guy who's had
up his ass.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
You know, I love it.

Speaker 7 (18:53):
Don't talk to me if I've had my coffee. I
mean there's a million of them, and I can't. I
don't remember the ones that my parents. But again I
would because my mom went overboard for Christmas, right, so
we would get like the Marquee gifts that we wanted,
but she always wanted to have more, so we'd get like,

(19:13):
you know you when you get the smaller wrapped packages
that were soft, I'd go, oh, this is a T
shirt and I go, oh, that's funny, and I would
put it in a bag or so I would never
wear it ever, wear it again.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
But it made her happy. And you know, I got weird.
I'm limited edition.

Speaker 8 (19:31):
You know my mom will still send stuff like that
on occasion. Like she sent me a shirt not horribly
long ago, and it said I have this cool thing
at my job that when they get rid of people,
I get to do more things. And I was like,
all right, I mean you've heard me, bitch, and I've
said that five hundred times, but I can't wear it,
like I'm not gonna.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Wear that today's office. Yeah I will, yeah, once it
fits me. Right. She bought a medium. Oh, well you're
getting there, mom. I haven't been a medium since. Now
I'm a medium.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
You're getting there. I got a waste to go, eh
before a medium? Well, I understand. So yeah, they, uh,
they really do. They like those kinds of T shirts.
Probably not so much anymore because you know, my dad's gone.
But I'm not a control freak. But you're doing it
wrong one of those shirts. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 8 (20:23):
My dad had the best bumper sticker on his truck
that could go onto a shirt too. It was it
was the the cleaner version of shrimp happens. Yeah, And
it was just it was a dog like going to
the bathroom and it said do do occurs?

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yes, And I was like, I like that one. Yeah
do av Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:40):
And then of course the other end of the spectrum
is like, you know that just says in big block letters.
I'm not a guy to collegist, but I'll take a look.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
One of those female body inspector.

Speaker 11 (20:55):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (20:55):
It's like the guys in college that would dress up
for Halloween like a big box, you know.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Breast inspection machine. Yeah. Put them in here. I get
it and I'll have a look. Yeah, and I'm wearing
my jone Jet camel toe. Detective.

Speaker 15 (21:11):
You guys were talking about, you know, you walking into
the bathroom when the janitor lady was in there cleaning
and stuff with her cart in front of the door.
My wife does that for a living. She works at
one of the county buildings as a janitor, and she
does the same thing. She'll put her cart out in
front of the door to block it, put an occupied

(21:32):
cleaning sign up, and the amount of people that walk
past her just to try to use the bathroom. She
gets so furious just the amount of unsolicited d's she
seems on like a weasy basis. They just don't want
you in there, especially if it's a female cleaning the
men's restroom.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, unsolicited ds. No, I get it. I thought rud
I was able to shimmy pass. She'd never sign up.
But obviously there's a big yellow cart block the door.
Shit in any one. But yeah, but listen, she understands why.
It's not like who's whipping it out in front of
your wife.

Speaker 8 (22:05):
Yeah, you're obviously in a situation where if you go in,
you obviously had to go in right, Like, I'm sorry,
I had to go you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
You stopped You washed your hands.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
Yeah, it was mostly that I needed to wash my hands.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
So I guess.

Speaker 7 (22:18):
I could have done that in our sing here in
the kitchen. It just didn't occur to me. I was
literally coming in from outside. I have my backpack on.
It was, you know, so I guess I guess that
was rude of me.

Speaker 8 (22:28):
But I think it's it's a it's a much different
scenario than what this guy's talking about. He's got guys
going in there and purposely showing themselves to a cleaning
person is basically what he said. Yeah, this is weird,
Like how far away are you from a yearino before
you get tug it out?

Speaker 7 (22:42):
By the way, I don't know what's up with these
dudes who like have to show they have to let
somebody get a peek.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
That's a sickness, you know what I mean? Yeah, like, hey,
there's something wrong with you supposed to be invite only, bro,
I'm not showing anybody. I don't even like showing myself.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
I was.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
I came across an article because we have talked on
more than one occasion here about the office Halloween party
that's happening. It's kid centric. It's you know, some of
our colleagues are going to be bringing their children or whatever.
We're both on record with our particular thoughts on the subject.
But you're starting to see articles, Hey here's a guy.
If you're going to address up for work for Halloween,

(23:23):
I you know, articles because again, this isn't a strange thing. Now,
what this is is adults. That's where I part company
with the people. You know, if they're bringing their kids in,
you can definitely make the case that it's a place
of work.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
And whatever. But the adults, I think an after hours
party for employees makes more sense than a stupid kid
party during the day.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
We used to do my first couple of years here,
we did an Alancock Show Halloween party and it was
on a Saturday night downtown.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
I think when when the ivy was liquid back in
the day.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
It was so fun we used to have we didn't
do We stopped doing it a long time ago because
you know, no, you don't have to there's a billion
Halloween parties.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
But it was just so fun.

Speaker 8 (24:03):
We used to have an enormous Halloween party at the
radio station I started at. There would be thousands of people.
We ended up having to move it to what the
Mass Mutual Center, basically the you know, the arena in town.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
It was huge. It was the biggest freaking deal every
single year, and it was a blast, and it made sense,
and it was timely, and it was for adults.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
I think all of that is great. I'm not anti Halloween.
I just think this is so goddamn stupid.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
This.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
You see the thing I posted, I tagged you in it.
It was uh oh yeah, the Jim Carrey And it's like,
somebody's got to say it.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
You know what I mean, he's walking away from this
Halloween party just mad, just angry. Somebody, the confrontational guy
had to say something. I'm like, sound familiar.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
Yeah, I just like to pick my battles, and to me,
that's not one of them.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I'm not picking any battle. I just say what I think.
That's all.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
Yeah, you know, but this list for people who you know,
talk to your HR manager first.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
What the what are the big dress ups?

Speaker 7 (25:02):
Well, it says you don't want to be the one
person who didn't get the memo about not dressing up.
You know, years ago when we were back at Oak Tree,
when people would come to our dressed up, there weren't
as many people as you'd think. I know, Mary Santora
dressed up one year and she's like, oh so I'm
the only one dressed up. Like, yes, you're the only
one dressed up. That was a few years because it

(25:24):
was some years ago. But I was like, yeah, we're not.
You know, make sure the costume doesn't interfere with your job.
I'll be these are very obvious. But somebody, yeah, you're never.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Going to believe this morning.

Speaker 7 (25:39):
Dress up week is hanging in I said, golly, it
took me so long to find this sub Zero from
Mortal Kombat costume.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
I just couldn't pass it up. And I had decided
the game to the nuns when I said, they don't
get because they have the gang.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
It took me an hour to get out of my
costume just to have a pee. Yeah, make sure you
check your calendar if you have Zoom meetings that day.
Don't dress up again. It sounds obvious, but there are
grown ass people that you have to explain things to,
so I don't know you're gonna dress up.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
You know.

Speaker 7 (26:12):
It's like those uh viral videos of somebody who can't
figure out how to turn off the cat filter, you know,
when they're having a zoom call or something. It's like that,
except you're wearing a physical costume. Bring a change of clothes,
they suggest. Even if you don't have meetings scheduled, something
could come up and you don't want to be dealing
with a serious issue in costume.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
See that's exactly what I would want. I would want
to be dealing with a serious issue in costume. The
silliness of.

Speaker 7 (26:38):
It, right, and you're dressed up like a wow, and
you got curly shoes and the big hat and you know, yes,
that's when it's great. Yeah, the juxtaposition of it.

Speaker 8 (26:47):
You're making like these life and death decisions, you're you're
you're a surgeon, and you're dressed up like a Yeah,
like the genie from Aladdin.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's great. Yeah, I love.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
That somebody, somebody from above falls onto the atreum window
over our offices here. You know, we have this big
open atrium when it that looks up at the residences
above us, and you're standing there dressed up like Shrek.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Perfect, Oh that's good. That's not gonna come out. That
doesn't look like fake blood.

Speaker 7 (27:15):
And finally they say, use some common sense, nothing potentially offensive.
And people get offended about everything these days, so there's
any doubt you're probably better off skipping a costume all together.
But yeah, but I again, we're under no pressure because
we don't participate in that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
You want to dress up.

Speaker 7 (27:32):
A lot of people put pressure on themselves with Halloween costumes.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
I'm no different. I mean, I like punny costumes.

Speaker 7 (27:38):
So in the year's past, you know, if I was
hosting a show Halloween party, obviously I'm.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Gonna dress up.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
But I mean there's always things to go along with that,
and some people really rack their brains over a Halloween costume,
which I get, But my response to that is I
don't do it because I don't care.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Let's do it, let's dress up for the party. No,
I'm not gonna do that. Come on, it's a little
laid in the game.

Speaker 7 (28:02):
I mean it's it's it's six days away, and I
would need more time to plan a quality costume.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
I would. You've got this.

Speaker 7 (28:10):
No, nope, I don't have a Halloween brain. I gotta
switch that on and I gotta plan it out ahead
of time. Maybe next year. Maybe next year I'll go
full on, because I've always said just one year, I'd
like to do one of those like full tilt boogie
Heidi Klum costumes, right or you're sitting in makeup for
four hours? Yeah, one of those some year. I just

(28:32):
need to figure out what it was. See, I want
to do something. I want to go out now, now
I go now to like make it a thing.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
I want to go out and spend a ridiculous amount
of money where I like walk out of the studio
and go hey kids, and my head falls off, like
that's what I want to happen like all these four
year olds freaking.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh my god, what happened to that guy?

Speaker 7 (28:52):
But also, aren't even little kids once you put them
in Halloween mode, aren't they prepared a little bit to
see something they wouldn't Really?

Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, I think if you make it scary as Helen
like that, you mean like serious practical effects, like a
kid shakes my hand and it falls off and I
just start screaming as are getting pumped in blood. That's
what that's, you know, that's what I'm looking for.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
You got a tube with food coloring and Caro syrup
pumping through your sleeve like Farley and an old LESNL
Halloween kids. Little kid goes home, he's crying, he's covered
in red food coloring and it was the worst Halloween
party ever.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Have a nice day today, honey. No, somebody's arm fellow
and mommies work well. So again.

Speaker 7 (29:33):
You know, we've gotten email from people who work at Progressive,
which is constantly rated one of, if not the best
place to work in Northeast Ohio, and they describe these
huge office Halloween situations going that's probably just pardle of bikes.
It so fuzz though work there, But there's there's pressure there.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
For the employees. Makes sense. I totally get it. If
you want to have a party, have a party. And
girls have it easy. Not at work, but girls have
it easy.

Speaker 7 (30:02):
You can be and it's a cliche, it's true, you
can be slutty filling the blank.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yes, I'm a librarian.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
Yeah you check out my books. Yeah, all right, swap
out the k The Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
On one hundred point seven, call the Allan Cox Show.

Speaker 16 (30:23):
Because he's my best friend, he's my pow, he's my homeboy,
my rotten soldier, he's my sweet cheese, my good time boy.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Two one six five seven eight one double oh seven
or one three four eighty one double oh seven.

Speaker 17 (30:48):
So don't get caught out.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Take a doctor self.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Protext in prob.

Speaker 7 (31:02):
Number Elephant gun Rath great Matt Bissonetz on the drum

(31:27):
Billy She That was that first David Lee Roth solo supergroup,
so good eat him and smile that technically second David
Lee Roth and a lot of the songs there a
couple of covers and a lot of the songs were
like holdovers from other people.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
But anyway, I was.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Mortal Kombat is adding David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar
as available fighters in an upcoming verdial. Look at that
six pack on David Lee Roth and they didn't even
give him a little cashew. I mean, Sammy's costume has
him with like one of those leather things that goes down.
I don't know what that's called, more like a Samurai

(32:10):
type thing. Or David Lee Roth looks like they've kind
of rendered him from his peak of powers in the
eighties there, but David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar playable
fighters in the new version of of Mortal Kombat.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I feel like they made Sammy Hagar's hair more like
Kenny Powers than they did Sammy Hagen's.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Well, yeah, he's got like Mike Anthony Harris.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, they did grab them at the peaks, though, you
could see like that's when Sammy was really red rocker.

Speaker 7 (32:42):
I mean, Dave never had a six pack, but I
mean they're really Again, you're not going to render a
guy how he looks. It's not like they got him
in motion capture for Mortal Kombat, but at least they
didn't give him the pleather cashew that he's normally been
rocking in the viral that we've seen. I can't help myself,
but to send those to you.

Speaker 8 (33:03):
Every time I see one, man, I'm just like Jesus,
I'm just waiting for someone because they make those videos,
you know, where they take all the sound out and
you just hear, like when they like shuffle up to
the mica.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, you know. I'm just waiting for the yeah grunts
and the squeaking of the leader pants.

Speaker 8 (33:19):
Yeah, I'm just waiting for the cashw squeak video.

Speaker 7 (33:25):
Somebody's got to do it. I think there already was one. Yeah,
was there the squeaky leather pants. I remember the first
time I saw one of those videos where the sound
was removed and they just insert like Foley sound effects, yeah,
to go along.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
With the movements.

Speaker 7 (33:39):
I was crying. I was laughing so hard. The first
one I remember seeing was Ozzy and Randy Rhodes and
the guitar playing. He's clearly just shredding on this solo,
but the sound is like a guy playing a guitar
that's not plugged, so it's.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Like nink bronc broncing. I was like, oh my god,
I just thought that was so goddamn fun.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
There was one I remember from Journey. It was like,
don't stop Believing or something like that, and like he
like that. It's that when they're all sitting outside and
you just hear like, you know, Steve Perry is sitting
on the side of a box and he's tapping his foot,
so you just hear like yeah, and there's nothing else happening.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
What are those called musicless music videos? Is that what
they're called? I think so something like that.

Speaker 8 (34:20):
The Prince one is great because he comes up to
the mic and he's just like and you just hear
that little yeah, so funny.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Hold on here.

Speaker 7 (34:33):
Well this is Journey Separate Ways, right, and that's the
early eighties where they just it's not the actual song.
Oh that's a music video. It's just noises and so
it's not.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Stop believing it.

Speaker 7 (34:45):
Yeah, so they're just again, this is a visual. It's
a sight guy, but there's Steve Smith playing on some.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Anyway. It's a it's a it's a sight gag.

Speaker 8 (34:59):
Which is exactly what it would have sounded like, you
know what I meaning without the music in the background.
They're just banging on instruments. They aren't plugged in. Yeah, yeah,
that was the one.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Oh, it's so good. You hear the guys in the background,
like grunting and groaning. Oh yeah, I have Heaven for kiss.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
Somebody, somebody needs to tell me, like what that series
is called, because I think there was somebody who was
primarily responsible for those on YouTube and TikTok, and they.

Speaker 8 (35:28):
Were something The Prince one I think was my favorite
because the way that he slides up in is like
his feet are just back and forth like a million
miles an hour, and it's just a little squeaked Yeah.

Speaker 7 (35:39):
Little grunts and grounds if there's a van Halen one,
you know, but when you see a guy who's shredding
and clearly like if he's playing eruption and they're like,
I don't know why that's so dumb, and it makes
me laugh. Alan, you're talking about costumes juxtaposed with your
working environment for Halloween. It would be like if the
HR director was dressed up as little bo Peep and

(36:01):
walked out because she had to fire somebody. She got
a big staff there and hey, listen, I'm sorry, this
is going to be your last day here at Allied Packing. Yeah,
here's a packet to help you transition into the next
phase of your life.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
You can stop and see HR on the way out.
She's the one that's dressed up like a zombie h Allen.

Speaker 7 (36:27):
Exactly two months from today will be Christmas Eve.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Oh my god. All right, Well, it just doesn't seem right,
does it.

Speaker 7 (36:39):
I was actually thinking of that very thing last night,
because this is the time of year where it gets
really wonky, where the holidays pile up. So I was
looking at our calendar to determine when we were going
to be gone for like Thanksgiving, and then when the
last live show of the year is, because I don't
like it to be too long, but the way that
the calendar shakes out year to year kind of changes

(37:01):
when we're gone. And I was like, oh my god,
there's like eight weeks left for us in the year,
which is crazy. A week from Sunday, the clock so
will go back. Daylight Saving time will end on the second.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
At the early Chanooka, I sent you a text and
I'm like, I mean the last Friday, technically, if we
wanted to take some time off, would be the twelfth.
It just feels so long. I don't like that.

Speaker 7 (37:27):
There was one year that we were gone.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Last year we were gone for like three weeks, is
that what it was? And we were only on the
air for like a month.

Speaker 7 (37:33):
Too long, man, it's too long, Like I don't like
being gone that long.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
That'd be like it would be three weeks of you know,
our next our first live show back would be like
full weeks.

Speaker 7 (37:45):
And I know people's schedules are different and people might
not care, but it's kind of like it's too long.
That's why when the calendar is wonky like that, you know,
I don't know, it just gets weird. But yeah, it
might have been last year, even the year before it
was like three and a half week.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Oh yeah, it's too much.

Speaker 7 (38:03):
You're sitting around my house and my thumb up my
ass and like I'm.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Not you know, I mean, I didn't mind that part,
but I agree three weeks is too long.

Speaker 7 (38:09):
I'm not going out of town for three weeks, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
I'll just leave like after the show.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
If we go through the nineteenth or whatever whatever date
we go through, I'll just leave right after that and
start driving because a head, we're gonna help.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
You gotta go home.

Speaker 7 (38:21):
Yeah, oh well, then maybe you should tell me because no, no, no, no,
I don't go anywhere for Christmas.

Speaker 8 (38:26):
No I have I do not have any time to
be as long as I'm there for the twenty fourth,
I don't care. Yeah, And I don't know what we're doing,
Like we might just jump on a plane on Christmas
Day and go somewhere. Everybody's sort of like up in
the air. With Caitlyn being away. I don't know what
to do this year.

Speaker 7 (38:41):
Well, maybe i'll a little closer to well once we
get into December, maybe I'll take a look at it again.
But I was looking at it usually by the end
of the year, I'm just effing fried anyway.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 7 (38:51):
Yeah, three weeks seems like a long time, Like RMG
takes like the month, but they're probably like going places,
you know what I mean. Like, and I'm like, I
don't know, man.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
It was both of us last year, like every we
went off the same We had been on the air
for like a little.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Over a month together.

Speaker 7 (39:05):
We were on a week longer than they were, and
then yeah, and then they were yeah, because you're like
they usually take the month, and I'm like, I just don't.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Like doing that. It's a long time, long time.

Speaker 7 (39:19):
Hey, if you listen to us on the iHeartRadio app
and you can drop messages for us with a talkback buddy.

Speaker 18 (39:23):
Hey Alan, Hey Rob Adam from Parma. You guys are
killing me with the sound Garden bit. I gotta agree.
I think Eddie Vedder would be a good one to
fill in for mister Chris Cornell, but I like the
alternative better come on made?

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Oh yeah, I was like, what's the sound Garden bit?
Oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:41):
We were talking about the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame yesterday, fun and the people getting inducted in. Who's
going to front Soundgarden since Chris Cornell's gone?

Speaker 1 (39:51):
And I said Eddie Vedder. You said Chubby Checker.

Speaker 9 (39:55):
Yeah, come on, Jesus, come on, Jesus.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
And I don't hate it. I love it.

Speaker 7 (40:10):
That's what Adam's talking about. So maybe they won't perform.
It feels like I would be really surprised if Soundgarden.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Performed, but doesn't one of his daughters sing? I think
one of his daughters.

Speaker 7 (40:23):
I'm only thinking of a Violet goroal Chris Cornell's daughter.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Probably. I feel like they're probably. I feel like, didn't
she God, I feel like she did something? Uh, you're
probably right.

Speaker 7 (40:39):
I wonder if Violet Grole will be along for the
tour when it comes to Cleveland next year. I have
a feeling there's going to be a member of Dave
Grohl's immediate family traveling with him to every stop on
the tour. They have their own bunk. It's like you
got to have a sober coach. Dave Grohl is going
to have some member of his family. He's the only

(41:00):
guy in that family. He's gonna have somebody with him.
His daughter Tony.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
I remember she came out Cornell.

Speaker 8 (41:06):
Yeah, she came out and sang Hallelujah for Chris and
for Chester on like the Today Show or something like that.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
And she has an amazing voice. What was it on Good.

Speaker 7 (41:19):
Morning America Good gm A, Yeah, she did it with
eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
She did it with One Republic. So she's twenty one.

Speaker 8 (41:27):
I could see that, like if she can if she
could do two or three songs.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Oh god, she looks exactly like exactly yeah, and she's
she has a killer voice.

Speaker 8 (41:35):
Yeah, she even I mean she's she's a pretty talented kid.

Speaker 7 (41:44):
Wait, that's Chester benningson or they're singing it for him
and be for him?

Speaker 1 (41:50):
She did's the guys it's uh teddy, what's it's.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Not teddy guy?

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Or I can't make this name Ryan Tedder nine ten

(42:30):
good for her? Yeah, man, they cut to the crowd.
Everybody's crying. That was eight years ago.

Speaker 8 (42:34):
So I mean, you think about it, that would like
I think that would be the only way that they
could do it.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
I don't think you bring in a singer, you know
what I mean. I think someone's kid. Yeah, okay, that
makes sense. I'd be great.

Speaker 7 (42:45):
Well in what she's probably twenty four years old now
twenty one, twenty one, okay, yeah, And you have to
you have to pick.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
The right songs, obviously, you know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (42:53):
But there's there's a million little songs that you could
probably come up with that she could get through.

Speaker 7 (42:59):
I will say One Republic is a band outside that's
not usually the kind of music I'm listening to. I
think they're a great band in that genre. I like
One Republic a lot. He's a hell of a song.
I think he's good. Every time I hear one of
those songs. Again, they're super poppy. But if it's like
a good written song, yeah, that's one of those bands

(43:20):
I think of it go that's not necessarily my vibe,
but I think they're real good at what they do.

Speaker 8 (43:24):
And he's got his name, like he's written everything. They
did the song for the Top Gun movie when they
made the most Yeah, they did the scene like the
hanging with the boys scene.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
They used one of their songs for that.

Speaker 7 (43:38):
I mean, that's just a dude who blew up twenty
years ago in MySpace.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
That's it. And then I think got a deal or something.

Speaker 7 (43:43):
He's written a billion Songsay yeah, good for him, Italan guy.
All I wish I could complain about having three weeks off.
I had it worked for ten years of only one
week off. I have to no listen, it's it's luxury problems,
to be sure. I'm just saying that that is the
situation here.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
And so we uh. I have a lot of vacation
every year, and I never take all of it well.

Speaker 7 (44:09):
And remember, no one is completely off like I'm not. No,
I'm not either. I'm doing best stubs every day. I'm
making sure the show's running properly. So it's not like
I'm no, we're never studio. We're just not doing a
live show.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Right.

Speaker 7 (44:21):
There's always a million things that are getting done over the.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Holidays, especially like I put together that Christmas special, Like
there's a ton of crap Is that every year?

Speaker 7 (44:29):
Now?

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Yeah? The fart thing? What's a crap tech here? Yeah,
there you go. I haven't talked to them about this
year's yet, but I'm sure we'll do it. Like Miles
is always in to do it, Charlie's always down.

Speaker 19 (44:42):
How's going, Allen and Rob and I hope you're all
having a great day to day. I'm submitting one of
my my files. I know you guys are taking that
core you know. Competition wait ready hold one?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Competition two? All right? Wow?

Speaker 6 (44:59):
And crap my pain, Oh my god. Smells like moth
balls and sewage. All right, I have a great down.
All right, mothballs and sewage. Again, not a competition, right,
these are not being solicited.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Submitting one of my files. All right, thank you. I
don't know who that is, but thank you.

Speaker 7 (45:19):
And on the Bowie and Jagger with No Sound is
the greatest one of all times.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Dancing in the street with no Sound.

Speaker 7 (45:26):
I think that's the one that people think of, the
silent music video of dancing in the streets squeaky shoes.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yeah, Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

Speaker 7 (45:33):
That was the one. There was a Prince one too.
That one's like a decade old. I think that might
be the first one that I remember seeing.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
But the one that really really made me laugh was
the Aussie and Randy Rhodes where they're just like plink,
plink plink, you know. And again it is a visual thing,
but it's you know, talk Muslim in the top right
because they sing to the lyrics to jumping off the

(46:00):
menu in say.

Speaker 7 (46:09):
You gotta wonder what those guys were thinking making that
video because they're just hopping up and down.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
And it was the mid eighties, I know.

Speaker 7 (46:19):
But Bowie and Jagger two guys for whom their private
lives were always with a big question mark, right, wasn't
that the big rumors that Jagger and Bowie were like,
you know, getting it on or whatever back in the day.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
Listen, it was all fluid.

Speaker 7 (46:36):
That's fine, but just just making the video. It would
feel so weird to be an artist making a video
because your lip syncing to your music, which is fine
and if there's a concept to it, that's okay. But
like these guys are just like skipping and they got
big pants on and they're singing into each other's face.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
It was the eighties, man, I.

Speaker 7 (46:57):
Know, touching each other's foreheads in singing back to back
and dancing in the street. It's not even their song, right,
who was that Martha and the Vendella's. I mean when
those guys were at the peak of their powers. Really, Yeah,

(47:18):
those are good music list music video, I think is
what they might be called. Allan, my cousin's son is
the guitar player for One Republic. They moved to La
from Boulder, Colorado after high school. Yeah, I thought they
were a Denver band, but yeah, that somewhere out there. Wow,
well good. I think those guys are great, very talented

(47:41):
for that kind of music. I think people think that
because you hear these stories about, oh, there's two fifty
five year old Swedish guys who write every pop song,
and that was kind of the case for a while.
Every genre of music will have its maestros, right, a
go to person. You know, back in the eighties and nineties,
you'd have all these hard bands that needed hits, Aerosmith, Kiss,

(48:03):
they'd go to a guy named Desmond Child. Yeah, Aerosmith
would go to a woman named Diane Warren. I mean,
you might need songwriters. Country music is just covered in them.
It's hard to believe that's why in the early days
of Taylor Swift, everybody was so impressed she was writing
her own songs, because it's just not done in a
couple of genres, country music primarily, it's just people making

(48:26):
their living. Chris Stapleton, before he became a performer, He's like,
I made my living selling songs.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Most you write them and it would drive you crazy.

Speaker 7 (48:32):
Be like giving away a song that in your head
you're going I would love to be performing these songs,
but it's a huge hit for somebody else. You get
crazy paid because the money's in the songwriting. But yeah,
there's a lot of so if you can. Some people
think it's really easy to write pop music. I remember
drum bands. I would play drums in I'm not a songwriter.

(48:54):
I think I'm real good with words. I think that
I can communicate properly. I a couple times I try
to write songs like it's hard, man, it's hard. Ryan
tetter Is from Tulsa, says Ben, who is a Tulsa
bureau chief.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Oh good for you, Thank you. Ben. Allen Cox show
on one.

Speaker 16 (49:21):
MS Alan Cox a drummer, I mean, the real musician.
He just makes a noise if he played the violin
or the piano, anything that made sense, but the drums.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Oh, more money for it.

Speaker 7 (49:47):
About ten minutes from now that next keyword from the
buzzard bookie, somebody wins a thousand bucks and then four
thirty five thirty will be your last two for the week,
and fire it back up on Monday morning, World Rover
run nine thirty. Cavalier's in Brooklyn tonight to play the nets.
That's a seven thirty start. They're hoping to even it

(50:10):
up a little bit after that loss.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
The season opener.

Speaker 7 (50:13):
Down the street with the Knicks and so Calves nets tonight,
and then the home opener is Sunday night. The host
of Milwaukee Bucks. That is a six o'clock game five
point thirty. We'll start your pregame here on WMMS and
on the iHeartRadio app. Got the email that they're updating
our parking system here RUPs.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Just that that made me laugh.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Man.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
It's like putting thousand dollars rims on a fifty dollars car.
They see there.

Speaker 8 (50:41):
They're putting all this money into that garage, all right,
into the end of that technology.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Yuh wait, not into the garage and we.

Speaker 7 (50:47):
Have key cards here obviously to get into the garage
and then to get into our office here the suite.
And they're like, you sy're gonna use key cards for that,
but they are going to be ushering in a license
plate recognition.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
System, right, that's what I mean.

Speaker 7 (51:01):
What could go wrong with that? I'm trying to get in.
It's just not reading my license plate.

Speaker 8 (51:06):
And they're like, oh, you have to go to this
website and put in all this information. I'm like, yeah,
how many people are going to type their license plate wrong?

Speaker 1 (51:13):
It's fine, Like I did it, but I just thought
that was funny.

Speaker 7 (51:16):
I'm like, really, why, Like, what's the I wonder why
that is a visual scan of your license plate?

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Okay? Better? Huh it's better. I mean maybe it is.
I don't know. I just thought it was funny. I
was like to your point, I'm like, boy, that's the
last thing I figured that they would be. It probably
be cut upgrade with I mean safe, you know, making
it safer probably. I mean the last week's email was, hey,
cars are getting broken into more often, let me fix
that first.

Speaker 7 (51:40):
Yeah, But that's to me, that's just a a that's
a feature, not a bug of being downtown.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Well for sure. Yeah, you know, security a little bit.

Speaker 7 (51:49):
That's why I don't put anything visible in my car.
Do you look through the window of my car, you'd
think it was abandoned.

Speaker 4 (51:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I don't have anything of mine either. Nope. Now, not
that that keeps people.

Speaker 7 (52:01):
You know, some people they're like, oh, there must be
something going on, but they probably just move on to
the next vehicle.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
You know, I don't keep anything in my car.

Speaker 7 (52:15):
I mean, back in the day, Rob, if I wanted
to dissuade people from breaking into my car, you know,
when I used to. Over the course of my adult life,
there have been a lot of places I've lived where
it was just street parking, and so if I were
parking on the street right, I.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Would leave.

Speaker 7 (52:31):
Like a visible used condom on the passenger seat.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Rob.

Speaker 7 (52:35):
So they thought there was something hinky going on there.
But of course since being snipped, now again they don't
know I'm snipped. They're just looking for a car to
break into. But I don't believe in wasting them, so
I'm not going to do that. But okay, license plate recognition.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
More deep state AI cyber crypto nonsense.

Speaker 8 (53:01):
It's probably gonna make it faster I would say, if
there's any reason to do it, it'll make it faster
getting out during like calves, games and events and stuff,
because it's always like people are like like they freak
out when they have to like do something other than normal.

Speaker 7 (53:16):
At least twice a week, I will be leaving here
from work and I'll get stuck behind somebody on the
way out who either doesn't know how the ticket machine
works or didn't think to find their ticket before they
got up to the machine, so now they're looking around
in their car.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
For their ticket. I meant they got to call somebody down, yeah,
and I'm like, I just want to leave, like just
call I want. I got out once and I was
like do you are you good? And then I realized
I probably wouldn't ever do that again, but I was like,
are you are you all set?

Speaker 8 (53:46):
Like are you good? Like it was like five minutes
and like it was an older person, it wasn't, and
they were just kind of annoyed that I even asked.

Speaker 7 (53:53):
Oh, there was a dude in front of me, probably
a couple of weeks back, and it was like listen,
I'm not somebody where like if the light turns green
and the guy in front of me doesn't leave in
point five seconds, I lay on the horn, right, I
will actually give somebody too much time, probably, And so
this dude was in front of me for like five
minutes and there's people lining up behind me looking to

(54:14):
get out, and I finally get out of my car.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
And I walk up the guy.

Speaker 7 (54:17):
I go, bro, there's room for you. I'll back up
a little bit. There's a room for you to like
pull your car off here inside the garage, right by
the office. I'm like, yeah, there's a little room for
you here to pull off to the side. Let's do
that and then you can figure it out. Like he
was just gonna sit there until he all got figured out.
I'm like, I will back up a little because, as

(54:37):
you can see, there's a big line of people behind
me and they're all honking.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Yeah, they don't care, you know. You know, when you're
in that situation, there's two types of people.

Speaker 8 (54:44):
There's people who are going to do that by default,
and then people who are going to get mad at
you for telling.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Them to do that. Yeah, I guess. And with me,
I was just like, are you good?

Speaker 8 (54:53):
Because I always have a stack of those parking things
in my car and if people are stuck sometimes like
the QR code yeah, and I'm like, do you need this,
like just take this skin this and the thing goes on,
get out of here so.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
I could leave please. Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (55:07):
I usually just asked him if they want me to
flash a nip and then they go, yeah, Alan, how
does that get them out of the garage?

Speaker 1 (55:15):
It doesn't, but it makes us both happy. It's like
the like that Quagmire line and one of the Family
Guy episodes is really really somber moment.

Speaker 8 (55:22):
Everybody's sad about something and he goes He's like, would
it help if I dragged my sack across your face?

Speaker 7 (55:30):
And then let me guess he said, giggity, yeah, I
got eight. Yeah he didn't. Actually in that particular case,
Becky emailed me, you guys are talking about power slap
the other day. I'm a big fan of Slap Mountain.
Do you ever watch Slap Mountain? He was kind of
like this fictionalized version of a of a slap tournament
like in Apple latcha or something, and these guys who

(55:51):
just step up and I don't know if that's still
a thing. Slap Mountain from a couple of years ago
was a thing.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
It's time. He's gonna go ahead and start right away.
Let's go. Yeah, get the first flap, big hamhock across
the side of the face by Big James Mayhem and
look at the rage in the face of Red Solo Cup.
He's gonna return fire.

Speaker 7 (56:13):
I just don't know how you parody slap fighting RD
Solo Cup. Yeah, I don't know how you parody because
it's so fundamentally silly, uh that I don't know, But
I am fascinated by slap fighting. It's nothing that I
want to watch because it just it's it's cringe inducing
to me because then they'll always show you the slow

(56:35):
moo replaying the guy's skin is rippling and that whole thing.
But that's got to be the last gasp of organized sports, right,
Slap fighting. I don't even think it constitutes fighting. I
don't know but this, but I mean I think it does.
There's gotta be something.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
I mean, you're getting slapped like that, I mean, dude,
that's not like baby slaps like that's legit. Yeah, you know,
getting knocked out? Yeah, I do enjoy it. This lap fighting. Yeah,
I don't know. It's uh, yeah, I don't know. There's
just something a barbaric, neanderthalic about it that I enjoy.
I don't know why, but I do like it.

Speaker 7 (57:13):
Allan, if you gotta use somebody else's car for a day,
you're supposed to put the license bldes of all the
cars in your house on this site in case, like
you're driving somebody else's car. I guess, but I figure
if it doesn't let me in, I'll back up and leave.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
I'll just go home. Hey, I couldn't get in the middling. Sorry, yeah,
what do you want to? You know?

Speaker 7 (57:33):
But like, if we get a lot of snow, you're
gonna make sure you wipe the plate off, right.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Oh that's right. Yeah, and we all take the highway,
so you're not gonna say this.

Speaker 7 (57:42):
I mean, that's that's a bigger deal for I mean,
one of the huge improvements coming downtown from Independence is
that we're covered with the parking. Right, we're in a
parking garage, and Independence we were out there in the
parking lot. So when I would leave work, i'd be
spending twenty five, you know, minutes brushing my whole car
off waiting for it. The de Ice but uh, Alan,

(58:03):
you gotta watch female ass slapping. Yeah, I've seen that too,
and I gotta tell you, I'm an ass man, and
that to me, I don't.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Like that kind of abuse. Is that definitely a thing?

Speaker 9 (58:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (58:14):
I think so, I've seen that really, Yeah, but but
I don't like to see that. I don't like to
see women defiled in that way. It's all consensual, obviously,
and it's supposed to be titillating for the guys or
gay women, but I.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Don't care for that. Don't care for that. Putting the
teat in, Yeah, of course.

Speaker 7 (58:39):
So yeah, slap Mountain again, it's I think it's technically
a parody, and it is funny. I mean, you know,
it's so bone dry that you're kind of like, is
this real? I don't think this is real, is it?
But fundamentally I don't know really how you parody slap fighting.
So then I I always wonder, Okay, this is so ridiculous,
what would be the next thing that comes down the

(59:02):
line that they try to convince us is going to
be a thing. Now, you could make the argument that
armored mma is the next thing, but at least that's
got some grandiosity to it. You know, it's not just
two people standing there punching each other in the face
armored mma is it's it's visually interesting, you know. It's
like if it's like being in medieval times and they
just have that Lamb of God show down here in Canton. Yeah,

(59:24):
so they're coming correct. Well, the bare knuckle stuff is
seems to be taking off quite a bit too. Is
that like bare knuckle boxing? Yeah, what like the twenties
or something. No, there's there's there's been a lot more
of that going on. So I think that that would
be the next level if there's going to be anything.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Huh, I guess. I mean it's just amazingly violent knockouts.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
To me.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Again, you have c very small padding on the hands, right,
But yeah, this is it's still bare knuckle boxing. It's legit.

Speaker 7 (59:55):
Do they have to have the big bushy mustache.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Yes, do it's a prerequisite.

Speaker 20 (01:00:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
Wow women, and here.

Speaker 13 (01:00:06):
Comes Matilda Oh Sunovan, her handle our mustache is second
to none. Grace Abanaffy, Oh look at that lip bush.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
She's got it. She's put up her dukes. She's thirty
two and five. There's against women.

Speaker 13 (01:00:25):
Like Henny Pierce and Jenny Ward Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
It's called it's called the Bare Knuckle Fighting.

Speaker 13 (01:00:33):
Championship, the Man knuckle Fighting Championship. Yeah, ladies are welcome.
The bushiness of the mustache, no doubt, muffles the slaps,
the punches.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Does the stash match the drake the carpet, yes, all right,
well that's so uh yeah, I don't think I've seen that.

Speaker 8 (01:01:00):
Yeah, it's it's yeah, I dig I dig it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
It's great boxing. Yeah, it has like its own it's
more primal or it's more just naturalistic. Is that the
appeal of it?

Speaker 8 (01:01:11):
I mean, it's basically the same thing, right, But there's
I don't know, there's a different Like people who love
the USC usually aren't huge boxing guys, right right, people
who love bare knuckle stuff don't tend to be as
much of the USC stuff. It's just I don't know, man,
it's kind of hard to describe it. There is something

(01:01:32):
much more primal about it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
I guess.

Speaker 7 (01:01:36):
What about so bare knuckle boxing, right, obviously you're making
a fist. What about finger boxing? Just staming with your hands?
Yes here, I mean you got to have some strategy there,
you know, you're just kind of poking at them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Oh god, your fingers are straight.

Speaker 7 (01:01:51):
Maybe you wrap the fingers so you've got.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Yeah, you've got some structure there.

Speaker 7 (01:01:56):
Well, you know how ballet dancers you can always tell,
you know, if you've ever dated a day answer, you know,
she got hammer toes or toes are all running away
from each other because she was in those point shoes
for so long, and they probably jam up your fingers
that way. Bare knuckle boxing, you go, okay, it's impressive, okay,

(01:02:17):
but you're protecting your fingers. Your fingers are curled underneath.
Really want to impress me? How about fingertip boxing? You
jab at each other in the face, You got your
fingers wrapped.

Speaker 17 (01:02:28):
Here comes stiff finger lynch. Oh my, come up on them,
stiff finger linch. Just hit him with the mo Howard
poking the eye? Yeah, hold up the hand.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
In between the eyes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
That's the move. Yeah. Oh he hit them with the
Larry Yeah. Ellen?

Speaker 7 (01:02:46):
What about moose knuckle fighting? All right, I understand what
you're doing there.

Speaker 13 (01:02:53):
Look at these girls going toe to toe.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
Hello, it's marking kids.

Speaker 7 (01:03:05):
Corner well, adults are claiming the trick or treating rob
is dead. It's old and busted. The new hotness is
trunk or treating. You heard about this. I have people
just put candy in their trunks. What could go wrong
with that?

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
Kid?

Speaker 7 (01:03:20):
Why don't you get into my trunk and find some
candy in there? Why go all the way up to
the door, You go car to car getting candy. This
has to be in service of getting kids farther away
from the house.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Right.

Speaker 7 (01:03:35):
Used to be you went up to the door or
rang the bell or whatever it was, and some people
would grouse about Halloween and keep getting up, and then
it became bowl of candy outside. Why do I have
to keep getting up? Blah blah blah. Right, if you
were my dad, you didn't mind doing it, but you
got pretty salty. Went inevitably, towards the end of the evening,

(01:03:58):
you'd get a couple of seven foot all teenagers, and
my debbie like, get the hell out of here. They'd
have bed sheets on of the couple eyeholes. Yeah, get
out of here. Somebody asked me early, what do you
think about teenagers? Like, if you're old enough to buy
your own candy, get off my porch. So then that
became the bowl on the porch. On the honor system,

(01:04:19):
a little sign sometimes please take one.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Then it became.

Speaker 7 (01:04:24):
Adults in the driveway drinking a little fire pit, right,
bowl of candy there, so they're outside, they can chill,
have a couple of pops. Now, it's just go to
my car. I'll put candy in the trunk. Why wouldn't
you put candy on the closed trunks? So put the
bowl there instead of the open trunk. They used to

(01:04:47):
do this at my kids' school all the time. This
is the yeah, parking lot, so you'd your trunk. People
would decorate their trunks, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
So everything had like, you know, somebody had a strobe
light and it looks spooky this that and the other thing,
and every body would line their cars up and then
they would set up chairs and sit out. Okay, like
a tailgate kind of Yeah. So it was like a
big thing.

Speaker 8 (01:05:05):
It was almost more like a Halloween party where kids
would trunk or treat in parking lots. Okay, so I
think that's probably what they're talking about. But that's weird
to do like just at home.

Speaker 21 (01:05:14):
So the other day I was asking my cousin, I'm like,
what are you going to be for Halloween? And he
said something like I'm gonna be a bat But anyways,
I'm like, oh, that's cool. What you're excited for trick
or treating. He then kind of scoffs at me. He's like, no,
one goes trick or treating anymore. He's like, it's trunk
or treat, not trick or treat. I said, no, trick
or treating, like you go to people's houses. He's like, no,
we do trunk or treat. Apparently it's lane to trick
or treat.

Speaker 7 (01:05:33):
Now, by the way, there is nothing worse than when
you get scoffed at by a kid.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, hey, you guys doing this thing.

Speaker 4 (01:05:45):
Really?

Speaker 7 (01:05:45):
Oh no, I feel like I'm one hundred and twenty
years old.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
Now shut up. Oh gosh, cringey owner.

Speaker 7 (01:05:54):
If Brian is hosting trigger treaters, this is all right,
I hold you, no, listen, that's not what anybody's going
to be looking for. Just put it in the ball, Brian.
But yeah, okay, trunk or treating. That's the thing that
is the new hotness. Also with the prices of everything
going up and staying up. Of course, a white house

(01:06:16):
is lying about the fact that inflation isn't even a
thing very very high. Most notably the price of chocolate.
Chocolate is very expensive, which just makes the prices go
up for candy companies, which means this Halloween you're going
to be seeing a lot more people doing the fruity
candy route, the non chocolate candies. Those are selling way more.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
This year.

Speaker 7 (01:06:41):
The price of chewing gum and candy has gone up
about forty percent, but chocolate is way up, and so
you're probably more likely to see a lot more houses
handed out like Twizzlers or nerds or things like this, Skittles, Skittles.
Part of it is climate change. You know, the majority
party of the cocoa beans that go out to the

(01:07:02):
rest of the world or grown in West Africa, so
they have extreme weather, they're and changing climate patterns, and
you know, if you get like you know, if you
get disease in the plants, there's a million things that
can go wrong. And so all of those chocolate brands
have raised their prices, and so you're probably going to
see a lot more people handing out like fruit type candy.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
Now white chocolate.

Speaker 7 (01:07:26):
Of course, I certainly hope, you know, not real chocolate,
so maybe that won't change, but that's gross anyway, you know, listen,
I'll always have a room in my life occasionally for
a zero bar. We used to have a vending machine
at the radio station workdet that had zero bars in it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
Like was this.

Speaker 7 (01:07:49):
Nineteen thirty five with this actual vending machine with zero bars.
It's like caramel and peanut and like, oh god, what
else is in? It's white fudge quote unquote. So you
gotta like that flavor from the jump. It's like almond
nougat or something. It has a very old timey feel
to it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Okay.

Speaker 14 (01:08:10):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:08:11):
There's a kid who got scooped up because the AI
detector at his school thought he had a gun. This
was in Baltimore. Just turned out it was a bag
of Dorito's. Yeah, this is working out great, by the way. Yeah,
I can't even tell a gun from a bag of chips.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
And they picked him up. They're at school.

Speaker 20 (01:08:33):
It was like a cop chorus. I came pulling up
to us. At first, I didn't know where he was
going to. They started walking towards me with guns talking
about get on the ground.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
I was like what.

Speaker 20 (01:08:42):
And he began on my knees and then put my
hands bound my back and cooked me and they sused
me and he figured out I ain't had nothing, and
then they went over there on to where I was standing,
drolled the bag of chips on the whole. They said
that AI detector or something detected that I had a gun,
but I was just holding the Dolrito's bag.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Yeah, the Durta's bag. Is that a gun?

Speaker 8 (01:09:02):
That's the built in racism that's already in the AI technology,
like you were talking about before, It just comes out
without landish stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Yeah, black kid, got bet be a gun? Is he
holding a gun? Get on the ground, it's a bag
of Dorito's.

Speaker 7 (01:09:15):
You know what, We're still taking you in because these
are the taco flavored ones and that's a crime against humanity.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
So even though.

Speaker 7 (01:09:24):
Listen it was an honest, a high hallucination, we're still
gonna take in because those you can figure out to get,
not cho cheese like the rest of the kids you're in.
You're not even cool, ranch kid. Come on, there's some
kids call kids corner. Oh so fun. We've had enough
of kids like you. Car show one.

Speaker 10 (01:09:52):
Dance you can dance like no ones watching, still talk
like no one's listening that you.

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
Don't cock on one.

Calves played tonight in Brooklyn against the next seven thirty
game seven o'clock pregame here on MMS. Now, let's say

since I've seen you. I don't know the last time

(01:10:34):
you were in Cleveland at Hilarities. Has that been a
while too.

Speaker 22 (01:10:38):
It's been I know it was uh a little over
two years okay, summer two years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:10:43):
Here and you have your crowd, so you are kind
of in a place where there's probably not a lot
of guests work when you go in.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
I know, I know the game in general, Wulowa.

Speaker 22 (01:10:53):
See there's not a lot of guests. No, no, no, the
crowd is kind of small. Thanks jump into it.

Speaker 7 (01:10:58):
No, not that at all. Like you, you know, you're
going to have friendlies. You know, there's a lot of
people you know who are like you know, the room's
papered or something.

Speaker 22 (01:11:06):
Those aren't your shows. No, I get my crew in there.
I'm always hoping for more.

Speaker 7 (01:11:10):
Yeah, of course, chance on your boy, Yeah, of course,
come out and see old.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Scruffy tell his jokes. You don't know if you've got nothing,
the Duke of Duke Page County. That's how I think
of you. Yeah, how do you like that? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:11:20):
Yeah, Addison, Illinois. I grew up in the North side Chicago,
Greater Chicago Land area. Yes, Addison would refresh my memory.
That's like south.

Speaker 22 (01:11:31):
You don't need to clog your memory with where that is.
That's better off forgotten, Addison. If you took Lake Street
straight west?

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
Really yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:11:37):
Okay, what part of Chicago I got where the tornadoes starts? Yes,
where they start? Yeah, that's Park. Yeah, they always touched
down in Lombard pretty safe.

Speaker 7 (01:11:47):
Well, we have people I call them bureau cheese, but
we have people who listen all over the country on
the app. And we have a couple of people in Lombard. Okay,
but friends of mine. No, but my freshman year high
high school, my freshman year college roommate was from Villa Park,
and he went home every weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
He was homesick. You know, it was just I guess
college stuff. Where were you at? School was in Northwestern
So I mean, yeah, look what I'm really served me? Well, yeah,
money well spent.

Speaker 7 (01:12:14):
But he went home every weekend and I was like,
what the hell am I going to do?

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
Like he was.

Speaker 7 (01:12:20):
You know, I wasn't in a position to like take
full advantage of that. I wasn't like a huge party
or anything like that. So it's like, on the one hand,
I was the worst possible person to have the room
to myself all weekend long because there wasn't that much
going on.

Speaker 22 (01:12:33):
It's time to catch up on some X files. Oh yeah,
I lived at home and community to the school. I
was in the city every weekend trying to.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
Now where were you going to school? Oh boy, go
over that roster. Yeah, I say.

Speaker 22 (01:12:46):
We started off at beautiful cash on delivery out there,
old college you to paye college page.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Yeah, the glory.

Speaker 22 (01:12:53):
Days of community college and then and then the lore
of like they're gonna every year they're.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
Going to turn into a four year school.

Speaker 22 (01:12:59):
Dude, just just hang in on the community going to
be able to get a bachelor's if you just stick around,
like that was the dream of everybody living.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
It's they're going to make it a four year school.
Just hang out. Yeah, I knew some lifers out there, but.

Speaker 7 (01:13:10):
Didn't cod have they were They were one of like
the only area schools that had like a legit radio
station too, did they was?

Speaker 22 (01:13:17):
I mean for being a community college, it was a
very legit community college. I'm not dragging that school at all,
which is kind of the problem. It was so nice
that you kind of just went and what did you
had a great time there?

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:13:31):
I friends that like they didn't even go them like
everybody else is taking class. They just go hang out
during the day at the school. And what did you
think you were going to do with your life?

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
Man?

Speaker 22 (01:13:41):
I still were still working on that one. Yeah, I
I didn't know. I had absolutely no game plan. Hence
living at home until I was twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
What did a mom and dad do living both? Like,
what did they do?

Speaker 5 (01:13:53):
Well?

Speaker 22 (01:13:53):
A lot of shrugging, a lot of finger wagging, morning
coffee and disappointment. Well, Kyle, and maybe you want to
think about a direction. No, they my dad worked in
the airline industry. Yeah, so you know, hence living in
that area. He was hairso haired, and he was at
midway for a while but mostly out o hair. And

(01:14:14):
then my mom was a homemaker. And yeah, they were supportive.
I think my dad was just my dad worked midnight.
So it's kind of we would like we have that
band practice in the basement as fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Like a skate punk kid coming up.

Speaker 22 (01:14:29):
Yeah, little rats hanging out in the community college and
bring their little pop punk band in nineteen ninety six. Yeah,
which Grand Marquis playing at Subterranean December twenty seventh.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Go see them. Yeah, you're one of our Chicago listeners.
You want to see?

Speaker 22 (01:14:41):
Uh boy, If you think I fumble through comedy sets,
you should come see me try and remember how to play.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
Oh my goodness, Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:14:49):
I love it, but yeah it was I I love
college page, big shot of college you page. I went
to u I see for less than a semester before
I've I'm like, oh, you have to go to class.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
I didn't realize I've moved and moved down there too.

Speaker 7 (01:15:01):
I saw, I saw. I just mentioned the other day
that when I was like twelve, I'm old. Was the
four so I didn't have older siblings, but a buddy
of mine his.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
His brother took all three of us.

Speaker 7 (01:15:10):
We went to see well was it Sammy Hagar and
Night Ranger at the UIC Pavilion in like nineteen eighty
three or something.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Yeah, long time ago, pre Van Halen Hago. Oh yeah,
rocker like.

Speaker 7 (01:15:22):
Red leather jacket Sammy and like night Ranger people are like,
who the hell are these guys?

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Did you ever wonder.

Speaker 22 (01:15:28):
What those outfits smelled like?

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
Like you're not in leather every night. You just over
here at the rock holl You know, they've got like
Ozzie's codpiece and I'm like.

Speaker 22 (01:15:39):
Oh, is it just fogging up the protective glass?

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
Like they got to get isotope gloves to move that thing.

Speaker 22 (01:15:45):
Yeah, this is now, this is a good grad Yeah,
this is like a biohazard.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Yeah, I just seal it off with tape. Now big
metal tongues to move it. And you know, in.

Speaker 7 (01:15:53):
Honor of Ozzy, were given this thing, a silkwood shower.

Speaker 22 (01:15:57):
That was it's you know about story, but I forget
somebody's a road manager for guar and saying that that
is the smelliest because all the foam Oh yeah, costumes
all just fake body fluids or.

Speaker 7 (01:16:10):
Like anybody who has Yeah, the added difficulty of that, Yeah,
it's like a Gallagher show inside each costume.

Speaker 22 (01:16:17):
But I you know what it's I was trying to
I don't know if it'll be a bit Do you
ever think Gallagher had to like do that at Open
MIC's like, try to be.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
How do you work the material?

Speaker 22 (01:16:25):
I go up next to Gallagher and he just like,
is it like a small bar in front of ten people,
just smashing fruit with a hair?

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
Like, who's this guy?

Speaker 7 (01:16:32):
He started off with a rubber malleon and a plump.
He's like, is this going to.

Speaker 22 (01:16:36):
Tag hammer in a few grapes? If it works, then
we'll go we'll scale it up. If I'm getting some laughs,
I'll go a little bigger with it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
Yeah. I got a whole hunk that really works. But
it's just grapes.

Speaker 22 (01:16:46):
I'm only doing half avocado because they're expensive and I
happen to like avocados, so I had half a breakfast.
This is going brown, So we're going to smash it
at the over the rest I'm making in the Yeah, yeah,
I gotta I gotta keep some of this. Kyle Kanaane
is at Hilarities. The first show was last night.

Speaker 7 (01:17:01):
Then there's two shows tonight and tomorrow seven and nine
forty five, tonight six thirty and nine fifteen on Saturday,
and then he's off to Parts Unknown. But obviously today
you could just walk right up there to Hilarities and
get tickets. But you can go to hilarities dot Com too.
A listener texted me yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
Because I initially said you were coming in yeah, and
then we had some scheduling snaffoos, but he said, I
know you love everything Chicago and blah blah blah. I'm
always talk he goes, but he's like Kyle Kanane is
like the goat for me.

Speaker 7 (01:17:35):
I love everything he does. I'm so excited he's coming in.
Blah blah blah. Those are kind of people I like
to hear from when you're in town and doing stuff
or just out there doing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Stuff I wanna make.

Speaker 22 (01:17:47):
I don't want to like attract jerks, right, you know,
I want to look out like and I'm trying to
be better about meeting greets. I would usually get a
little sketched out on the social aspect of like, no,
now you get to meet me like that felt disinga
and you understand, just be if I'm hanging out, then
I'm hanging out, and I'm trying to be better about
that and and meeting it and you know, coming out
after the shows and like he's nice and like it

(01:18:09):
should be. I have of the attitude that every should
be able to be friends if you at the show
again old school punk rock vibes where you go to
a show you don't have to know anybody and then
you just meet people there and you yeah, you're gonna
be my friends right now.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Well that's the ethos too.

Speaker 7 (01:18:23):
I think that people get off of you too, is
like you kind of exude that vibe too, where people
aren't like, oh this guy, you know, you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
Kind of have that.

Speaker 22 (01:18:31):
I even had like three cops say they like the show,
which for what I'm saying in the set right now
is a real surprise.

Speaker 7 (01:18:36):
But I'll tell you what though, I'll get comments like
that too, where they're like, man, I can't stand your politics,
but I love the show, And I'm like, I'm glad
your brain can hold those two separate things, because it's like,
I'm not trying to get over on anybody, but I'm
very specific about what I think of what I believe
I'm trying.

Speaker 22 (01:18:52):
John Roy great Chicago comments, you know, John, Right, Okay,
the best quote about is like, good comedy is when
I'm lap when the joke's funnier than the point you're
trying to make. Yeah, where if I could laugh at
the joke even though I disagree with what you're saying
the joke.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
I'm like, I see why. That's a funny job and
that's why I'm striving it.

Speaker 7 (01:19:10):
And also like there's an element of like, you don't
want it to feel like homework, you know what I mean,
Like you don't want the audience they feel like homework.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Like you got some opinions on things, and you've got
some some well, uh, you've got some well uh diagramed
thoughts and all that. But it's still funny.

Speaker 22 (01:19:27):
Nobody's accusing me of leaving them in the intellectual dust, like.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
You're not trust me.

Speaker 22 (01:19:32):
Yeah, the audience is more up to speed than I am. Right, Yeah, Yeah,
there's opinions in this and that, but it's still it's
a show for everybody to have fun and the joke.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
Like I said, the jokes should be strong enough, whether
you like it or not. Is Dirt Nap still the
latest hour that's out there? Yeah, last year came out, Yeah,
beginning last year.

Speaker 22 (01:19:51):
It's tough. Now, I don't even know if people watch
hour long specials. Everything's clipped up on the internet, and
it's like.

Speaker 7 (01:19:57):
I think they do. I mean a lot of people
will put them right out on YouTube. If somebody's not
getting like Netflix, it feels like everybody's getting Netflix deals.
But everybody is not getting Netflix deals. There's a lot
of comedians out there. I'm right here, Well you know
what I'm saying, like you know this only too well.
But my point is that's not the only avenue. I mean,
there's so many ways.

Speaker 14 (01:20:17):
Now.

Speaker 22 (01:20:17):
It's that they say the average view time is like
twenty minutes, which is frustrating when you curate this hour
long thing and I like to do these stories. It
all kind of comes back in the end and if
somebody's only watching twenty minutes, like, well, that's not really
the form that I like to work in, But that's
the form that that's how we consume everything.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
Now we're we're only consuming or dervs. You know.

Speaker 7 (01:20:38):
Some people are just easier to their their their style
is easier to clip up.

Speaker 22 (01:20:42):
Yeah, they're scrolling and you're on your phone and like, oh,
that was twenty seconds of that guy, thirty seconds of
this guy. I'm like, no, no, I got It's like
a whole story. You gotta sit still and listen. Yeah,
it's also it's also fitting.

Speaker 7 (01:20:54):
It's also sometimes I would imagine a bummer that you
even have to consider those things, right, it's just function
of how are presented now.

Speaker 22 (01:21:01):
But yeah, I'm not going to change what I'm doing
to chase what's popular and chase the algorithm, right, because
I think that's only going to frustrate you. If you're
trying to chase what's popular, you're never going to catch
up with it. And I just changka help that what's
popular comes back around to what I'm doing. Yeah, and
again speaking to the fan base being loyal regardless of

(01:21:21):
the size of that fan base, the fact that people
still come out and have been doing this for as
long as that really makes me happy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Yeah, it makes me feel like I encourage me to
keep going.

Speaker 7 (01:21:29):
I have told people that Whiskey Iicre is to me,
Kyle Kanine's Whiskey Ickers is still one of the best
hours of stand up in the last twenty years. I
think it is high hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
That's high praise.

Speaker 7 (01:21:41):
I think because there's a lot of you know, if
you just say comedians to most people, they'll rattle off
a handful of them. And I always think, man, there
there are a handful of hours that I just always
recommend to people and that is one that immediately springs
to my mind.

Speaker 1 (01:21:58):
That's so funny.

Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
Now my entree I have a nine year old daughter,
and my entre with her anytime I'm having a guest
in is the cartoon voices they've done. Like when I
had Paul Sheeran, I was able to tell her what
you know? Or if I have uh, Jason Alexander, I
had him on and I go, oh, it's Mayor Hop.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
From Pinky Malinky.

Speaker 7 (01:22:18):
Yeah, Rat Daddy from Bob's Burger's. That was Kyle Kanan,
duizl from Big City Greens, that was Kyle Kanaan.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:22:25):
My daughter has watched every episode of Bob's Burger's four
million times. So when I tell her, hey, remember rat Daddy,
she knows exactly what I'm talking about, even though it
wasn't like some giant story arc. No, right, she knows
exactly what I'm talking about. I go, that guy's coming
in today. I blew her wig off.

Speaker 1 (01:22:41):
That's that.

Speaker 22 (01:22:43):
That makes me because when you do voices for animation,
unless you're like a regular Yeah, you go into a
setting like this, you're there for about twenty minutes yep,
and then you leave, and then that doesn't come out
for a year. Yeah, I forgot. This is maybe it's
bad to say I forgot. I was dweezling Big City Greens.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
As I was saying it, I could see you go,
oh God, I was wasn't it somebody tag something?

Speaker 22 (01:23:06):
The other day it was like, this episode was so
intense and I'm like, why am I getting tagged? And
this is a cartoon And I had to look on
the sidebar where there's the credits.

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
I'm like, oh, I'm in that show. You're taking your IMDb.

Speaker 9 (01:23:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:23:17):
And it's not just I don't have kids, so I'm
not plugged into that world.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
I love doing voices.

Speaker 22 (01:23:22):
It's so much fun to just like, oh, you'd just
be as crazy as you want.

Speaker 1 (01:23:27):
I mean, you get self conscious.

Speaker 22 (01:23:28):
When you're acting live and run a crew of fifty
people that if you screw up your line, fifty people
have to reset.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Yeah, you know, but ani voiceover, you can do it
one hundred times.

Speaker 22 (01:23:38):
If you make it weird, do it crazy this way,
do it crazy this way. There's a lot of room
for err and room for experimentation and the stuff that
just fell in my lap, Like do you want to
do it?

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
Every time I say yes, every time to animated.

Speaker 7 (01:23:49):
Did that stuff come from the Comedy Central run you
were doing or was it a sign.

Speaker 22 (01:23:52):
From I think just from stand up and yeah, like
people hear this vote. I don't think I sound unique, but.

Speaker 7 (01:24:00):
Yeah, because we sound obviously different to other people that
we for people who don't know. Kyle Kanaane was the
voice of Comedy Central for like a decade. All those
interstitials Tonight on Comedy Central that was Kyle b.

Speaker 22 (01:24:11):
South Park was on, Yeah, the same time as Wednesday
seventh and the Daily Show.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
Yeah, it was funny.

Speaker 20 (01:24:16):
I was.

Speaker 22 (01:24:16):
I was on vacation in northern California and I was
outside of a campground on the beach at night and
it was a no fire time in California. So I'm
just in the dark, sitting on this log by a
fire pit, and this group of people walk by, like
can we sit down?

Speaker 1 (01:24:29):
Yeah, I'm talking to somebody's in the dark. Can't see face.
Yeah you Kyle Kanaane.

Speaker 22 (01:24:33):
Yeah, kind of came up here to be alone, which
I mean hardly I'm hardly famous enough where, but yeah,
on the beach looking at the Pacific Ocean, all by myself.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
Can a guy sit on a log I'll be I'll
be part of me. Like that's pretty cool. Of course
your voice is getting out there a little yeah why not?
Yeah yeah, nothing wrong with that. You live in Portland
right now? Okay, so who's doing Comedy Central now? I
have to claim ignorance becau.

Speaker 22 (01:25:00):
David Borie of All Fantasy Everything Famous. Yeah, yeah, it's
Denver guy, I think.

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:25:05):
And so when I found like, I kind of was
very unceremonious that they I got the I lost the
job the way I got it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
I just got slowly hired and slowly let go. Is
that what it was. That's the nature of it. It's
not you know, they're gonna do something different. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:25:20):
But then when I found out it was him, I
was like, oh, well, that's how am I going to
be mad?

Speaker 5 (01:25:24):
Right? Like?

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
My friend got the job?

Speaker 10 (01:25:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:25:26):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:25:27):
You know him like you were?

Speaker 22 (01:25:28):
Yeah, yeah, because I knew the All Fantasy Everything Ian Carmel,
Shawn Jordan, Yeah yeah, I knew those guys, and he's
got all right man go for it. Yeah yeah, that
was good to do.

Speaker 7 (01:25:38):
Chauncey Billups, speaking of Portland, I don't know if you're
following the Trailblazers or any of that. I'm not they
might have put spear in the heart of that team
at the beginning of the season.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Yeah, I'm so unplugged from sports. Good for you, that's
nothing there for. What's the Cleveland Monsters? Uh I h
L a h L hockey team.

Speaker 7 (01:25:58):
It's pro team. Sorry for my ignorance. No, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
I like that. They're just the monsters. Yeah, monsters. It
used to be cool.

Speaker 7 (01:26:05):
They used to be the Lake Erie Monsters, and then
they were just like, let's streamline, its the Cleveland Monsters.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
It's great though. They packed that arena. It's from folklore,
the Lake Erie Monster. Okay.

Speaker 22 (01:26:15):
I was an urban. I thought they were just like, well,
we ran out of animals. I don't know Cleveland draculas.
I don't know what Cleveland cryptids, Cleveland Frankenstein's. What are
we gonna rubbish monsters? That's corner market of monsters.

Speaker 4 (01:26:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:26:28):
I just drove by that come back from like, oh
that's awesome.

Speaker 7 (01:26:31):
Yeah, No, the games are great. They kick an ass. Yeah,
they won the championship a handful of times. But so
everything's well represented in Cleveland.

Speaker 22 (01:26:38):
Yeah, what do I have to get ready for in Portland?
Now where the Blazers. That's the only team that got.

Speaker 7 (01:26:42):
They got soccer, Well, they got the some huge scandal
in the NBA about a bunch of people getting scooped
up by the FBI for like illegal mafia poker games
or something. And Chauncey Billups, who's the head coach of
the Trailblazers, okay, indicted or so.

Speaker 22 (01:26:55):
It was that So I thought they were just betting
on the games. I thought it was like a It's like.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
There was another guy who was that they scooted it up.

Speaker 7 (01:27:03):
But Chauncey Billups was in this whole like fixed mafia
poker game thing, and now they're trying it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
Just kind of fun giveing how the news is. This
is at least kind of fun. Well it feels old school.

Speaker 22 (01:27:14):
Yeah, there's no like this isn't consequential for the average citizen.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
Right, So yeah, oh, a bunch of rich guys got
ripped off.

Speaker 22 (01:27:21):
Yeah, the mob's going down legal games, all right, that's
kind of cool.

Speaker 7 (01:27:25):
Jeor, I didn't even know the mob was like still
a thing like outside either outside Chicago, New York. I'm
like the mafia And then people were blowing me up,
dud dude, don't mean they're still around.

Speaker 22 (01:27:35):
Like, oh, he definitely wanted publicly talk about it. The mob,
what are they even doing anymore?

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
Yeah? Like they could even find me in the can't
like wants me to get new shoes. I don't want
your shoes. Get out of here. Body swimming, it's cool,
it's gonna be impossible to walk in those trying to
be old school mob, but nobody gets the references anymore.

Speaker 22 (01:27:55):
Yeah, sleep with the fishes. I'm not even I just
had coffee. What are you talking about, mattress, Get out
of here? What accent are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
The accent? What Tommy? Two times? Yeah, I don't know
what that is? Say it one time?

Speaker 22 (01:28:07):
Did the mob finally like, I mean, maybe Scorsese blew
up their spot a little too much.

Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
Maybe it all sounds very high tech. Do you think
they liked all that?

Speaker 22 (01:28:15):
Or do you think old Martin Scorsese finally got like, hey, buddy,
don't you calm down with the movies about what we're doing?

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
No, because weren't they all consultants.

Speaker 7 (01:28:23):
Half yeah, half the guys on the super What was
the line in the Sopranos they were They would refer
to the Godfather movies. They loved it. You know that's
what's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
Yeah. He right in the plots for the next Mob movies.

Speaker 7 (01:28:33):
Yeah, because then if anything, they could just go, oh
that's all made up. It's like the movies. It was,
you know, it was the perfect cover for those guys
to some degree.

Speaker 1 (01:28:41):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
That's good ball a lot of others.

Speaker 7 (01:30:29):
Yeah, so dumb Alan you were talking about, you played
that dog psychic. I played this lady who's trying to
get a following going over there on TikTok yesterday, as
she calls herself an animal communicator but considers herself a medium,
and said that the number one peeve that dogs have,
of course, because they tell her all the time like

(01:30:51):
she's David Berkowitz. They tell her that they really don't
like their ball being up against the wall because then
they're staring at a wall all And I turned my
dog's bowl away from the wall and my dog profusely
thanked me, and then I told my dog that you
refused to do this for your dog and called the
dog's psychic lady mentally ill. And he wanted me to

(01:31:14):
tell you that you are a sadistic son of a bitch.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
How about that? A lot to unpack there.

Speaker 7 (01:31:20):
There is a lot of communication going. I hope that
lady doesn't think she's got the market cornered on being
an animal communicator, because this guy or woman talking to
their dog and the dog is a done thing, very
highly a me ros nothing I can do about that.
I don't know your dog, and quite frankly, your dog.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Don't know me, and now I don't want to And
now with that kind of attitude, yeah, eh, the dog
can kiss my ass. Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:31:53):
Happy to see Kyle Kanaane Man. That guy is fun
funny dude, very funny dude.

Speaker 1 (01:31:57):
You weren't kidding.

Speaker 7 (01:31:58):
So I hope you get a chance to see him
this weekend at Hilarities.

Speaker 1 (01:32:03):
I put the I put his special on my YouTube
so I can check that out with whiskey Icarus. Yeah.
The newest one was Dirt n App.

Speaker 7 (01:32:11):
That was a Bobcat golfwait directed that last year but
Whiskey Icarus is probably ten years old, and I think
it's so. It's just I was a lying to him.
It's just one of those hours that I don't ever
hear people. Really, it doesn't spring to mind, and I
just I think it's a modern classic and now and
again that's me Rob, I got my own thing going on.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Dave, you're a fan, right, go ahead? Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:32:39):
And as soon as he started talking, I recognized the.

Speaker 1 (01:32:42):
Comedy the choice term comedy central. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:32:46):
I was reading about how best buye is going to
be starting their Black Friday stuff on Halloween, and I
was like, in other news, best buye still exists?

Speaker 1 (01:32:58):
I didn't. I didn't.

Speaker 7 (01:33:00):
No, best Buy was still a thing. They still have stores,
of course, best Buy. You don't go to the stores, No,
oh I do.

Speaker 1 (01:33:07):
I didn't know they were still around. If I needed
something like if I needed a television tomorrow, that's the
first place I would think to go.

Speaker 7 (01:33:14):
You wouldn't just buy it off Amazon? No, what are
you gonna tell me? Fries and Circuit City are still
happening too? What about ABC Warehouse?

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
Those aren't there? Smart ass?

Speaker 7 (01:33:26):
But the others is best Buy the last one standing?
I think so I know for a while they were
trying to be all things to all people, probably just
hanging on by their fingernails. They were like, hey, we
sell VCRs and DVD players and candy and hair dryers
and okay, okay, yeah, there used to be. The only
one I remember was the one to steal yard. I
think that one's long gone. I couldn't tell you, clearly,

(01:33:48):
I'm in the outside of this, but I couldn't tell
you the last time I saw best Buy. I'm not joking.
I thought they were all gone. I didn't know there
were any brick and mortar Best Buys.

Speaker 1 (01:33:55):
I think there's one out by you. I'm almost positive.

Speaker 7 (01:33:57):
There probably is, but I don't know where it is.
Oh you know what, there's one? Yeah, okay there. But again,
you can ever tell these places are like open or
just there.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
There's one in Avon.

Speaker 7 (01:34:08):
There's one next to the Walmart in Avon, behind the circle.
K Jesus, I haven't walked into a best Buy in
fifteen years.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
Oh I am a I am a fan. Oh really? Yeah? Yeah,
Well then this is for you Black Friday. Oops. Sorry,
what was that? That was my watch hitting the side
of the microphone. Sorry about that.

Speaker 7 (01:34:27):
No, that's okay. I thought it was something else. Somebody
was texting me about his sex farts earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Yeah, I had that on the brain. So this is
for you.

Speaker 7 (01:34:37):
Then, Best Buys Black Friday will begin one week from today, high.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
Door buster deals. I don't need anything big this year.
And my wife will like any time I go to
buy a television or whatever, She's like, can you just
check the prices at Costco or something first? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:34:59):
And I'm like I could, But I like going to
Best Buy. I like walking around.

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
At the well, maybe I'll go in.

Speaker 7 (01:35:05):
I mean, listen, we are in an age now where
you can get an amazing giant off brand television for
like six hundred dollars. You know, there's some people buying
like four thousand dollars televisions. You can get amazing Chinese
television brands you've never heard of before. And sure they're
probably full of malware that's gonna you know, record everything

(01:35:26):
in your home.

Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
But whatever, what isn't right? I upgraded to the new
Alexa thing today. Have you done that yet? Alexa Plus? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:35:34):
Good for you?

Speaker 1 (01:35:36):
Can I still talk to my dad.

Speaker 7 (01:35:38):
I don't mean to change anything, because that's the only
communication I have with my father is.

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
Your further speaking from new.

Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
ELECTIONA, I don't even know what Alexa plus is. I
have two Alexas in my home, pretty sure. One of
them is unplugged, and literally the other one is only
for my daughter to like ask what the weather is
gonna be.

Speaker 8 (01:35:58):
That's pretty much what I do with mine. But today
it asked, would you like to upgrade to Alexa Plus?
And I said yes. And it's not an it's a
free upgrade. So it basically eliminates the Alexa voice that
you know, and it sounds more like a person, and
it's Ai driven.

Speaker 2 (01:36:16):
God please no.

Speaker 8 (01:36:18):
So I did it, and then I had to warn
my family no, So just the heads up, alex is
gonna sound different and you don't. The cool thing is
now you don't have to say Alexa again. Like if
you say, hey, Alexa, what's the weather, and she goes,
it's gonna be blah blah blah. Today, you don't have
to go, hey, Alexa, what's the weather tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (01:36:37):
Right? It just she'll stay on and you can say,
but what about tomorrow, Hey, rab it's gonna be cold today?
How about that?

Speaker 8 (01:36:42):
The Pope I could talk to the Pope as by
Alexa voice.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
There is like five or six different voices. What's the
tweak it? She sounds completely different. Uh, and it's it's
more AI driven and it learns your routines and things
like that diarythmic. I see ye. Yeah, So it's like,
you know, what kind of music do you like? I
just don't act any music. I mean, yeah, I just
don't ever use the Alexa.

Speaker 7 (01:37:08):
My agent, my late agent, got me one one year,
like the first year they were out, and then somebody
else got me another one. So I literally have two
of them in my house. One of them isn't even
plugged in. And so because listen, you can really if
you're one of those people that's like trying to like
make your smart home, right, walk in, Hey, turn on

(01:37:29):
the lights, all that stuff. I'm fine using switches. You
can use it for a lot of stuff. Obviously, now
they scaled way back on like the R and D
for that because it wasn't they were only rolling those
out so people would buy more crap from Amazon, and
when they realized that's not what people were doing, they
basically decimated that department. I don't even think they're doing

(01:37:50):
any any kind of I'm surprised to hear that. I
didn't think they were doing any more R and D
on Alexa because they're like, Okay, we thought people were
again they they just want you to buy more crap,
and so they're like.

Speaker 1 (01:38:02):
Yeah, you can do a shopping list. Well that's probably
people are just like what's the weather? Like what time
is it? Play Spotify?

Speaker 8 (01:38:07):
You know, it's probably how they're rolling it out those
by how people use it, you know what I mean,
like if you're using it in that assistant way, in
any way at all. You know, times are tough, Allen,
I had to I had to cut back from two
to one personal.

Speaker 1 (01:38:19):
Assistant, I know, you know. So now that I have.

Speaker 8 (01:38:22):
This Alexa plus thing, I feel like I'm sort of
back to like one and a.

Speaker 1 (01:38:25):
Half, you know you now.

Speaker 7 (01:38:27):
I don't want to tell tales out of school, But
I was talking to one of our colleagues. He said,
and he told me, I go, that can't possibly be true.
He told me that you are down to caviare only
four times a week.

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
No, actually, Jesus, I can't believe you brought that up.
It's it's worse than that, man, It's it's four times
a month what I'm doing it once a week now, Jesus.

Speaker 8 (01:38:48):
Yeah, I mean that, listen. I just went through stupid
contract negotiations. These guys, these guys weren't ponying up and
they don't. They decimated your Cavia budget. Dude, I'm like,
you know, did you guys not look at the news?
Do you not see the increase in prices of things?
And you want to give me a seventy five percent raise?

(01:39:09):
I'm like, I need at least one hundred percent this term.

Speaker 7 (01:39:11):
I thought all of that beluga poaching was really gonna
make weren't you investing in a company that was poaching
beluga whales?

Speaker 5 (01:39:18):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:39:19):
Yeah, yeah that didn't That didn't pan out. All that sucks. No, No,
I ended up.

Speaker 8 (01:39:24):
I thought there was more of the blubber thing than
there was and I just didn't didn't pan out.

Speaker 1 (01:39:29):
So yeah, I had to let an assistant go, and
that's probably a bad time for them to be looking
for a job. I know, listen, you think it didn't hurt.

Speaker 8 (01:39:37):
I mean you figure, you know that poor girl was
making one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
One of my assistants to nothing.

Speaker 7 (01:39:44):
And you can only probably give her a hundred week severans.

Speaker 8 (01:39:47):
Yeah, and I'm like, look, I was like, I'm gonna
take carey as long as I can. I still got
around my benefits, her whole family. Yeah, you know, I feel.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
Like an ass. Yeah you're gonna do yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:39:57):
And she just moved her family from Juatemala. Yeah, wow,
just move.

Speaker 4 (01:40:02):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (01:40:02):
I think one of her kids is still there. He's
like six, he's making a long way, he's driving.

Speaker 7 (01:40:10):
So it's really gonna take a long time to get here.

Speaker 4 (01:40:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:40:13):
Yeah. And when he.

Speaker 7 (01:40:14):
Does get here, she's gonna have to look a little
Javier in the eye and say I lost my job.

Speaker 1 (01:40:21):
No, she has a cuter voice in that, she'd say
I lost my job.

Speaker 7 (01:40:24):
I lost my job. Yeah, And he's gonna go, what's
a job? You had a job here in the United States?

Speaker 1 (01:40:30):
Get away my job. I'm gonna go. I don't say
I did I heeart did I Heeart did? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:40:36):
It wasn't me Trump, economy did. I would have kept
you around forever. Now look at poor Javier and tell him,
oh my god, you know you think I'm not human.

Speaker 1 (01:40:46):
So caviare once once a week, once a week, Yeah,
only four times a month though. Man, it's don't believe
the headlines.

Speaker 7 (01:40:52):
Boy, these are the front lines of the Trump economy.
This is what's everybody's hurting. Unless you're a billionaire. He
loves you. It's just it's a tough world, man. Everybody's
struggling a little bit more than they were before. You know, people,
I mean I don't.

Speaker 8 (01:41:05):
I don't know the price of ground b for milk,
but the things that I enjoy I know the price
of it.

Speaker 1 (01:41:10):
I can't. I mean, I can't buy Camis by the
case like I was before. Right, it's not it's not
fair man. So this wine, I was paying one hundred
dollars a bottle before one hundred and twenty hundred and forty.
Now what are you crazy? At a case? But how
am I supposed to survive on that? Yeah, man, you're

(01:41:31):
living that life. I don't know anything about that. I'm
not living that life. I was going back. I only
have one driver. Yeah, I know how I feel about that.

Speaker 8 (01:41:41):
I don't like my driver of the Sedan driving the
Tahoe when I'm with my family.

Speaker 1 (01:41:46):
I don't like it.

Speaker 7 (01:41:47):
Rob actually has his Sedan's retro fitted so that both
sides of the front seat have steering wheels and pedals, so,
you know, like the old driver's ed cars. So he
has two drivers in the same car. It would seem
to be redundant. That would seem to be the first
place that you could curtail some redundancies. But nope, not

(01:42:08):
doing it. He's not He's not riffing his driver.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
No.

Speaker 8 (01:42:11):
Well, I mean I had to one of them had
to go. The sedan driver had to go. And I
really don't like the fact that my sedan driver, my
regular you know, you know, Jim, my regular driver.

Speaker 7 (01:42:20):
Oh I thought his name was Dan and you called
him Sadan Dan. No, No, Dan is the one that
drives the issue. But that is let the wrong guy go.

Speaker 1 (01:42:27):
You really did?

Speaker 7 (01:42:28):
I really did bet anything, Dan, I bet anything that
either one of them could have driven either.

Speaker 1 (01:42:34):
Yeah. It was actually it was very It was a
vanity thing for me. Yeah, because Jim looked much better
drive than the Tahoe than Dan would have. What sa Dan?
Dan makes so much more so Dan? Yeah? Oh yeah, god,
what didn't I do that? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:42:48):
A vanity thing. That's a good one too.

Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
Yeah. Wow, So things are tough.

Speaker 5 (01:42:52):
All.

Speaker 7 (01:42:52):

Welcome to the weekend. Everybody. Helln here's a shocker.

Speaker 7 (01:43:48):
There's also a brick and mortar radio shack really in Columbiana, Ohio?
Well that sounds way out there. Where's Columbiana. Everybody's getting
me hiped? All the best buyes?

Speaker 1 (01:44:00):
All right?

Speaker 7 (01:44:00):
Or is it best Buy like attorneys General? Okay, good,
Well then I'm then I guess for their sake. I'm
happy to be corrected. I just did not know that
best Buy was still a thing. I did not know
that that there were still radio shacks. I thought every
single one of those were closed. This company bought a

(01:44:24):
bunch of them, and they're renaming them podcast shacks.

Speaker 8 (01:44:29):
I wonder if they still sell all of the uh,
you know, like a little transistors and things like that
like they did before.

Speaker 7 (01:44:36):
Oh, probably not. They're mostly selling. When we were in Independence,
there was a radio shack down there up the road
there in Parma, like broad View and Snow or whatever
that is. And now it's like a vape shop or something.
But I would go in there every so often, and
they were mostly selling things for like people took to
tinker with old radios and stuff. But you know, but

(01:44:58):
then they would sell like, you know, more modern day
gadgets and things like that. Was kind of like a
like a the help Sharper image.

Speaker 8 (01:45:08):
Where you can go and get your CBE radio. That's
what I always remember dicking around with it. Radio shack
was the CBS they had all they were all like
set up on their own little display.

Speaker 1 (01:45:16):
Case asure them on rubber duck.

Speaker 8 (01:45:21):
There's only six locations in the country.

Speaker 7 (01:45:25):
I thought Nick Cannon was their chief creative officer or something. Right,
it really didn't work. Oh okay, well does I say
more about them or him?

Speaker 1 (01:45:36):

Speaker 1 (01:47:05):
Okay, Brook Park and Ridge Road. I missed that part.

Speaker 7 (01:47:07):
So the a Sweeties is over there and it's by

I'm a dork when it comes to that sort of stuff.
You're a very tactile shopper I am, and I just
I like to see like they have that high end room,

Vision The Allen Cock Show on one.

Speaker 11 (01:48:29):
It seems a little unfair that you can watch our
live stream but we.

Speaker 4 (01:48:34):
Can't see you.

Speaker 1 (01:48:36):
But we'll fix that tonight. Outside your Window.

Speaker 14 (01:48:44):

week with Stansbury.

Speaker 1 (01:49:10):
And so we'll get a winner for that on Monday.

Speaker 7 (01:49:16):
Game one tonight, Dodgers in Toronto to play the Blue Jays.
Very exciting, Rob, I am excited. I was reading an
article the Dodgers. Well, the person writing is like, I
hate the Dodgers so much I cannot explain to you
how much, And that the Toronto Blue Jays should be

(01:49:39):
America's team, That's who we should be rooting for.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
I'm Toronto bled her case. I think that that's what
it is for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:49:46):
Right she said I hate the Dodgers so much, and
I'm right too. Now I think she is Canadian. This
author nineteen ninety three is of particular importance for Toronto
baseball fan. It was the last time the Blue Jays
made it to the World Series. It was nineteen ninety three.
Raptors have won championship since then.

Speaker 8 (01:50:09):
I'll tell you that the line isn't as bad as
I thought it was going to be. I mean the
betting line, Yeah, the Dodgers are giving out a point
and a half run in the half, yeah, so it's
not it's not terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:50:20):
The money lines minus one fifty seven.

Speaker 8 (01:50:22):
For the Dodgers, so it's I mean, they're obviously seeing
that the Blue Jays are a legit team. Man, I mean,
it's not like it's going to be a I don't
see this being a sweep. I think it's going to
be a tough, tough series for Toronto for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:50:36):
Dodgers are no joke video by the way, listen, twenty
twenty five is the year of the underdog, right and
it is in the Canadian bloodstream to feel.

Speaker 1 (01:50:50):
Second to the United States.

Speaker 7 (01:50:53):
But this would also be a great year for a
Canadian team to take the World Series. And so Game
one is tonight. Geddy Lee of Rush, of course. Uh
he is a huge, huge Toronto Blue Jays fan, famous
for his baseball memorabilia collection, by the way, and he

(01:51:18):
when I think somebody asked him at the rock Hole
thing that we went to, right, didn't they ask him
about the Blue Jays.

Speaker 1 (01:51:23):
Yeah, they asked him before that's right.

Speaker 7 (01:51:25):
He had to give his tickets to his son, yep
and grandkid, and uh yeah, Gedty Lee was like, oh,
he threw out the first pitch.

Speaker 1 (01:51:35):
A long time ago. I can throw a pitch. The
Blue Jays asked me to throw the home opener first pitch.
I practiced like hell as you can imagine. He is
a Canadian music icon.

Speaker 13 (01:51:47):
He is the bubolo bassist in keyboardists with the Toronto rock.

Speaker 7 (01:51:52):
Band Rush johnas And walking to a field to throw
at the ceremonial first pitch.

Speaker 1 (01:51:57):
Ketty Lee, I threw a perfect curve ball. Why did
you job? And girls and boys? Skiddy Lee? Right, buddy.

Speaker 7 (01:52:08):
It would have been great if they had called him
by his actual name and people were like, what Gary
Wine rib You know him from the Bland Rush.

Speaker 1 (01:52:19):
Yeah, that's gotta be exciting. See.

Speaker 7 (01:52:20):
I did the exact same thing years ago when I
threw out the first pitch at an Indians game. I
practiced all morning long on the fields near my house,
and I think I overpracticed.

Speaker 1 (01:52:32):
Where you made your mistake? Oh god, just skip it in.

Speaker 7 (01:52:35):
I didn't bob a booi yet, but it wasn't pretty.
And then the old guy after me just sailed it
right in without a care in the world. Did you
go off the mountain? And I really no, I don't
think so. It's on YouTube. I have to go look
at it, but I don't. Again, it wasn't pretty. It
could have been worse.

Speaker 8 (01:52:56):
I guess see where people make their mistakes is they
go like you want to pitch from the mound, right,
if you're not used to doing that, you're already gonna
have an issue because you're elevated.

Speaker 1 (01:53:07):
And then the other, uh bigger problem is people over practiced,
well just throw the ball.

Speaker 7 (01:53:14):
But I practiced on a mound because I knew I'd
be elevated, practiced on a mind. And again, I wasn't
looking to get a heater down the middle, right, I'm not.
I was managing my expectations. I just didn't want to
embarrass myself. You just want to get it over, and
I think I kind of did. Like it bounced behind
the plate and the catcher had to like jog a
little bit to get it. Like, that's not you just

(01:53:36):
wanted to Well behind the plate isn't terrible. I mean
you got it there. Oh I got it to the plate,
you know, so that's not that's not awful.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
I mean, you know, you see those things all like
you mentioned Bowie and you know, you saw what happened
to that guy in Boston when he threw it and
hit the cameraman and.

Speaker 7 (01:53:50):
They you know, there's a lot of bad things that happen. Yeah,
is our traffic girl working at home today. I thought
I heard a cat in her that I don't see
her out there, So I'm guessing yes, and I would.

Speaker 3 (01:54:02):
Traffic on ninety west between Route fifty seven and Route two.
The crash is cleared for eighty east after the two
seventy one exchange as well.

Speaker 1 (01:54:10):
That there's cats at home, Yeah, all right, I love it.
That is that if I had to guess, that's uh,
that's where I would.

Speaker 7 (01:54:19):
Go WFH today because I was like, I usually see
her out there, but it's a good Friday, I get
I'm working from home.

Speaker 1 (01:54:25):
I'm like, there isn't a cat out there, is there?

Speaker 7 (01:54:28):
I genuinely don't know what our pet policy is here
at iHeart Cleveland. I have a feeling if somebody had
their dog under their desk just chilling, nobody would even
raise an eyebro.

Speaker 1 (01:54:37):
No, you're allowed to bring your kids apparently.

Speaker 3 (01:54:39):
So kids, mice, bed bugs, like whatever you want. That
goes for Rout eight South after Gram Road.

Speaker 1 (01:54:46):
Jackie robertson the Total Traffic Center, Oh, has it already
been updated?

Speaker 7 (01:54:50):
Should forty East after two seventy one is gone?

Speaker 1 (01:54:53):
Solds?

Speaker 3 (01:54:53):
The backup that goes for Rout eight South after Graham
Road Jackie, Oh.

Speaker 7 (01:54:57):
I think it's anyway. I was listening to it in
the break I was like, oh, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:55:03):
Good for her. Well, it is funny. Now there's so
many people working from home.

Speaker 7 (01:55:07):
You might have had the experience of calling a customer
service line and it's just a dude in his apartment. Yeah,
you can do traffic outside, right, It's like the dog
is running around in the background, and sometimes they're apologetic
at Bob, like, no, it's I get it, sorry, pain
in the ass.

Speaker 1 (01:55:23):
At least you can understand me.

Speaker 7 (01:55:24):
Right, there's so many we've all had the experience for
so long now of being routed to a call center
that's not in this country, and it's like, that's fine whatever.
But that's a bit more daunting when you're just kind
of trying to decipher what's going on. So I'm like, listen, man,
if you got your I don't care at your house, Well,
I don't need you in a cubicle. I got money

(01:55:47):
for you here in just a few minutes. That'll be
your last keyword for the week. To grab a grand
from the Buzzard Bookie cotton balls that wore my Blue
Jays had to work today. Caught some crap, but screw
the Dodgers. I was gonna wear my Blue Jay's cap
today too, but I didn't. I wore my Toronto jersey
for that last game. But I will in honor of

(01:56:13):
my late grandmother, who used to watch Cubs games with
her cap sitting on top of her hair. I'll do
that tonight above the befront. Yes, I won't even push
my hat down on my head. I'll just set it
on my head.

Speaker 1 (01:56:29):
August twenty fourth, twenty eleven, Stephen Canton says, that is
your first pitch, and yes it's still on YouTube. Well
there you go. Congratulations to me. It is. I look
this up like a flying amber. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:56:44):
I mean I was fresh meat in this market, right, So,
like I want to throw the first pitch, and I
was like, yeah, great, why not when Cox's first pitch
boy comes up right away?

Speaker 1 (01:56:54):
Yeah? Here it is? Was that at it was they
were still the Indians, but it was progressive field.

Speaker 7 (01:57:03):
You uh, Davy, you Blue jays Field. Well you know what,
he's a student of the Globe.

Speaker 1 (01:57:13):
Alan.

Speaker 7 (01:57:13):
You guys are talking about cameos. I bought a cameo
from Mark Cuban and sent it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:57:19):
Oh how about that?

Speaker 7 (01:57:21):
Wow, our Cuban the pride of Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. That's
south suburban of Pittsburgh. I had a rented a house
for many years in Mount Lebanon, just down the street
from his boyhood home. This isn't a cameo. This is
from Sora. This is that AI that you son of
a bitch. I know what this is. I don't know
what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:57:40):
Look at this, it's Mark Cuban in address. Not a cameo.

Speaker 7 (01:57:45):
Wait, you led me down the Primrose Path here samanay.

Speaker 9 (01:57:52):
Alan Sa.

Speaker 24 (01:57:54):
Alan and as well as hunt dogs hole.

Speaker 1 (01:57:58):
All right, you know you, sir or madam. Sounds like
our Mark Cuban rendered in a denim button up dress.

Speaker 7 (01:58:09):
Singing I'm happy and gay Now in nineteen twenty, that
would have been redundant.

Speaker 1 (01:58:14):
It sounds like your pal this Sourah. I'll tell you what, man.

Speaker 7 (01:58:18):
People are just I was talking to Kyle Kanine about
this before we came on the air.

Speaker 1 (01:58:22):
We were talking about AI.

Speaker 7 (01:58:23):
And we're so close to the point where people are
going to be like, I don't know what's real. I
don't know what it's real anymore. I mean, is it
is Trump really in a plane dropping poop on people? No, obviously,
guy can't even get up steps. But there's so many
other things. Nobody's gonna think Mark Cuban's an address, But
those are the absurd examples. It's gonna be so used

(01:58:46):
for dis and misinformation. We have no idea what's coming,
and there's no way to intellectually or even physically process it.
That's the crazy part. Assuming Rob that this is fake.
It's got the sore of water Mark logo on it,
so I'm assuming it's fake. Otherwise, how the hell much

(01:59:09):
did this guy pay Mark Cuban to put a dress
on it?

Speaker 1 (01:59:12):
Call me gay?

Speaker 24 (01:59:14):
Hey, Talan? He swallows houn dogs hole?

Speaker 1 (01:59:22):
I wonder if that's the same guy.

Speaker 7 (01:59:24):
What is that supposed to? Is that supposed to because
I'm gay? I swallow hot dogs hole? Why would you
swallow a hot dog hole? Because it's they're so delicious
you want to? But he already said I was gay.

Speaker 1 (01:59:40):
I nobody's saying you eat it that way, because.

Speaker 7 (01:59:42):
Oh that was you enjoy that that was If people
didn't understand the subtlety of Mark Cuban in address saying
Allen Cox is happy and gay. I see that's what
I enjoy about certain contingent of our audience. There's so
laser focused on the subtext. Yes, well anyway, uh, thank
you uh for that. I guess I think it's the

(02:00:02):
same guy. I think, the guy that we will always
calling I say, you're a homosexual. I think this guy
is up to new tricks.

Speaker 1 (02:00:09):
Hm hmm, Well he certainly thinks about me a lot.

Speaker 7 (02:00:12):
Yeah, I guess I can't get mad about that homosexual.

Speaker 1 (02:00:16):
That guy. Huh, all right, Oh your show, this guy,
it's such.

Speaker 9 (02:00:26):
A show your whole shoot your.

Speaker 7 (02:00:42):
Mouth that guy. That guy, that guy, man, that's my guess.
Now it's a new trick you're saying.

Speaker 1 (02:00:58):
I think he's got a new bag of tricks.

Speaker 7 (02:01:01):
All right, Well, somehow he's got he's got connections.

Speaker 1 (02:01:07):
Have you dicked around yet? Hell no, I haven't either.

Speaker 7 (02:01:10):
Corey sent me the link to the app, and I'm like,
I am terrified that I'll get addicted to it.

Speaker 1 (02:01:15):
Me too.

Speaker 7 (02:01:15):
I'm terrified that that's all I'm gonna do is make
AI videos for my own amusement. I can't have my
brain melt down anymore. And that's just gonna know.

Speaker 1 (02:01:26):
There was I think I sent it to you.

Speaker 8 (02:01:29):
The Bob Ross one from the other day actually made
me laugh, maybe for the first he's.

Speaker 1 (02:01:34):
Pregnant or where he's talking to. He just sent so
many of these like it.

Speaker 8 (02:01:38):
It's like a highlight clip of all the best stuff
they've done with him yet. And he tells the Deaf
Leopard joke, and he's like, look at how much attention
I'm paying to the to the eight legs on this spider.
And he's like painting and he's like speaking, eight legs.
What has eight legs and sucks or eight arms and sucks?
And he turns and he's like Deaf Leppard and it
looks just like him, and I'm like, wow, yeah, this

(02:01:58):
is coral.

Speaker 9 (02:01:59):
See.

Speaker 1 (02:01:59):
I didn't were up watching Bob Ross.

Speaker 7 (02:02:02):
So when everybody was just creaming their jeans over Bob Ross,
I mean even in his when he kind of made
a resurgence in his actual form, I was like, I
don't know this guy.

Speaker 1 (02:02:14):
I'll send you. I had to.

Speaker 7 (02:02:15):
I had to kind of get hip to him. I
had to dig into it because I didn't gw up
watching Bob Ross.

Speaker 1 (02:02:21):
Did I send you the one with the queen? Probably again?
She brings the ring doorbell and says she has to
have a poopy Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh god. That
one got me to Also.

Speaker 7 (02:02:30):
The one with the animals shooting bozukas into people's homes.

Speaker 1 (02:02:34):
I mean they're so you know.

Speaker 7 (02:02:36):
There's one with like a like a cat with a
shotgun and the lady runs up, what are you doing?
And she's like trying to pry the shotgun from the
cat's hands.

Speaker 5 (02:02:45):
I laugh.

Speaker 7 (02:02:45):
A dog shooting at Bozuoka at the house across the street,
like that kind of stuff is funny. It's when they're
going to foist, you know, things that they're purporting to
be real. Yes, yeah, that's the stuff that's gonna be
you know, Iran just nuked Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (02:03:04):
That kind of thing. It's like, oh okay, christ. I mean,
you know, the Helen Keller and Stephen Hawking thing was
pretty damn funny too. Like again, things I shouldn't laugh at.

Speaker 7 (02:03:15):
Well, it's low hanging fruit, but at least those are
things that you are so absurd. They're just rendering some
fever dream in somebody's brain, right, but nobody's trying to
pretend it's real.

Speaker 8 (02:03:26):
She jumps off the top rope and he's not anywhere
near it just lands on her FI.

Speaker 7 (02:03:32):
And by the way, we never got a modern reference.
Everybody still uses Helen Keller. I guarantee you. You know,
there's at least two generations of people who have no
idea who Helen Keller.

Speaker 1 (02:03:45):
I'm gonna feel bad sharing this. You got people who
don't know who is Sama Bin Lauden is.

Speaker 7 (02:03:48):
So it's like Helen Keller, but it's the one reference
you have on to that. It's not the boxing one, right,
it's the the w one, w W E right. For
whatever reason, Stephen Hawking is in a lot of these. Well,
because I think it's again the absurdity of it. Yes, okay,

(02:04:10):
so I'll show you this one. She comes running out
and well, way, that's is this the one that's there?

Speaker 18 (02:04:18):
Stephen Hawking And he's rolling straight into the rise rights
the Professor of the Cosmos.

Speaker 1 (02:04:25):
She's not facing him at all, It's okay. And then
he's in a wheelchair behind some curlers, you know, And.

Speaker 8 (02:04:32):
Then she jumps off the top rope, just face first
into the mat. Like again, I know it's I shouldn't
shouldn't laugh at this, but god damn it, it's.

Speaker 1 (02:04:40):
So for Stephen Hawking playing the drums.

Speaker 8 (02:04:43):
Oh I love that one too, except he's playing his thigh,
which is really really great because the AI still isn't there,
you know what I mean, It's close, still not.

Speaker 1 (02:04:51):
There, No, but it is.

Speaker 7 (02:04:56):
It's amazing, It really really is amazing, and I want
to start messing with this, but I like Corey sends
me stuff all the time, like I don't.

Speaker 8 (02:05:04):
I don't want to do it. I want to laugh
at the videos and be done with it. I don't
love the ones honestly, Like there's been a few that
have kind of like been like just in terrible taste,
like wow, like the Martin Luther King went.

Speaker 1 (02:05:18):
That's what I'm saying, crappy.

Speaker 7 (02:05:19):
I mean, they're starting to get sued by some people.
What it's done though, because you can instantly render any
thought that comes into your head. Social media now is
a wash because now everybody's like, oh great, we can
say retard again whatever. You know, Maga nonsense, you know,
bro nonsense is out there. So there's a lot of
AI that's like just racist.

Speaker 1 (02:05:42):
Or I don't know, you see a lot of so well,
I get a lot like old school street jokes rendered
in visual form. You know.

Speaker 7 (02:05:49):
It's like Yeah they were funny we were ten. Yeah
they're not really funny now. Yeah, the retard stuff is
making a huge charge back, like I've been getting everybody congratulations.
It just feels really weird. It still feels weird.

Speaker 1 (02:06:03):
That ain't for me. Not for me. Now.

Speaker 7 (02:06:06):
I do love the notion of rendering something entirely absurd
and comedic. I do like that, but it's like, I
don't Martin Luther King getting a slurpee.

Speaker 1 (02:06:15):
Yeah, Like, there was one with him with a kid.

Speaker 8 (02:06:18):
He was doing his speech and there was a kid
with Down syndrome standing next to him and they're talking,
and the kid with down syndrome like reaches over and
grabs the microphone. He pulls it down and says he
loves peanut butter, and Martin Luther King's like, okay, thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:06:31):
Yeah, there's a whole series of him. It feels weird.

Speaker 7 (02:06:33):
There's a whole series of him with that down syndrome kid.
Like there's a girl he's at a checkout he's working
a checkout line at a grocery store, and a girl goes,
do you guys have so and so or whatever? And
he hops up and yells peanut butter.

Speaker 1 (02:06:46):
Or something. Yeah, Okay, I don't know. Yeah, I don't
know what the I don't know what the joke is.
Maybe just the fact that he says peanut butter is
a non sequitor. Maybe I don't know. But I get
what people are doing. I just but also I don't
think that's all that funny. Martin Luther King Jr. That's
someone who you know is dead.

Speaker 7 (02:07:02):
It's the people that are still alive that are put
into situations that they are not.

Speaker 1 (02:07:06):
It's just going to look more and more and more real.
I just feel like certain things should sort of be
left well. I don't know. Again, I'm not a prude.

Speaker 8 (02:07:12):
I think every you think something's funny, Yes, since you're right,
make it funny, do what you want to do. I
just feel like that sort of stuff is like using
him as a punchline in any way feels weird.

Speaker 1 (02:07:23):
Yeah, well again, it is very interesting, you know, and listen,
any technology is there some people using it for really
bad stuff and some people using it for amazing things.
That's true of anything.

Speaker 7 (02:07:34):
But I mean, we are getting to the point where
they're like, you literally can't tell that you don't know
what's real.

Speaker 1 (02:07:41):
That's the scariest thing. Well there was one.

Speaker 7 (02:07:44):
I just sort of we are the people in charge
now are the worst possible people to be in charge
as this emerging technology is beginning to come to its
full fruition. So yeah, but everybody, you know a lot
of stuff anyway, Mark Cuban calling me gay congratulations.

Speaker 1 (02:08:05):
Thanks.

Speaker 7 (02:08:05):

I guess I should be flattered.

How about that?

Speaker 7 (02:08:57):
Oh and again that was a World Series where whichever
team won, it was historic. Obviously we were rooting for
the Indians. Everybody thought I would be rooting for the Cubs.
I go, no, I'm not a Cubs fan. I'm a
White Sox fan, so of course I'm gonna root for
the Indians.

a big time movie role in that new Emma Stone film.

(02:11:45):
There's a director named your Ghost Lenthemos who makes very
very provocative, interesting films.

Speaker 1 (02:11:51):
He's done a handful of them with m A. Stone.

Speaker 7 (02:11:52):
The new one's called Bigonia, and our buddy Stavi is
in that movie. But he's also on the dream Boat
tour and he'll be here on Valentine's Night. Funny dude,
very funny at MGM Northfield Park. He hasn't been in
here in a minute, but he might be getting too
big for this show.

Speaker 1 (02:12:10):
Rob stop it.

Speaker 7 (02:12:11):
I hate to say it. People last week are like,
you can have a MILLENNI in. I'm like, no, Have
you answered that, like you didn't need me?

Speaker 1 (02:12:21):
You actually answered that like he would answer no, no, no,
I love Milanie would have loved to have had him in,
but no.

Speaker 7 (02:12:28):
It's a you know people, if people don't need to
sell tickets, they're not coming in here.

Speaker 1 (02:12:33):
But that's that's the long and the short of it.
Pretty lame.

Speaker 7 (02:12:36):
If I'm honest, Well, I wouldn't expect him to. You know, hey,
all it's John Mullaney.

Speaker 1 (02:12:40):
Can I come in?

Speaker 7 (02:12:41):
Yes, of course you can. But again that's what I'm
not getting that call.

Speaker 1 (02:12:44):
But you should.

Speaker 7 (02:12:46):
Well, that's that's a matter of opinion.

Speaker 1 (02:12:49):
No, it isn't. It's a matter of fact. You were
there when they needed ticket sales, so why not be
there when you coming through town? Yeah, I don't think
people process it that way. They should. Yeah, that's just me.

Speaker 7 (02:13:00):
Well, I don't ever expect anything from people. My door
is always open. And uh, it's a John Mullaney rolling
stones bit. I do I have that somewhere.

Speaker 1 (02:13:10):
Yeah, he's one I just I cannot.

Speaker 7 (02:13:13):
I know Mary Santora can't stand him either.

Speaker 1 (02:13:16):
I understand. I don't think he's funny.

Speaker 7 (02:13:18):
His delivery is not for everybody his I think that
he's a very kind of naturalistic performer, and so I
like that. But I fully understand why some people wouldn't.
I just think he's a wildly creative guy. He's tonight,
tomorrow and Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:13:33):
Is that right? Last night? Last night? Last night?

Speaker 7 (02:13:36):
Yeah, some friends of mine just saw him in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh might have been last night. Is he doing the
arena or Playhouse Square? Playhouse Square?

Speaker 1 (02:13:42):
Oh, Okay.

Speaker 7 (02:13:43):
I was gonna say, yeah, he three nights, he's not
that big. No, But I feel like last night he
came through. He did one night at the arena. Maybe
I could be wrong.

Speaker 25 (02:13:50):
Everyone always wants to know if famous people are nice,
like Mick Jagger. He came in to host the show.
My friends were all like, is he nice?

Speaker 1 (02:13:58):
No?

Speaker 25 (02:14:00):
Or maybe he is for his version of life, because
he has a very different life. He's Mick Jagger, that's
his name. He's played to stadiums of twenty thousand people
cheering for him like he's a god for fifty years.

Speaker 1 (02:14:17):
That must change you as a person.

Speaker 25 (02:14:20):
If you do that for fifty years, you're never again
gonna be like, does anyone have a laptop charger I
could borrow?

Speaker 1 (02:14:25):
You know.

Speaker 25 (02:14:27):
I pitched him a joke and he went, not funny.
I mean people say that on the internet, but neverde
a face. There's a British billionaire in leather pants, go
no funny. I spent two hours alone with Mick Jagger
that week. We were writing song lyrics. It was for

(02:14:48):
a fake song in a comedy sketch, and we came
to one point and he goes, all right, let's all
go to the picnic. Let's all have a drink. Let's
see what rhymes would drink? And I said think and
Mick Jagger said nah. And then I said sink and

(02:15:10):
Mick Jaggers said yeah. And I was like, is this
how you write song?

Speaker 1 (02:15:19):
AnyWho? I think Millenni is fine.

Speaker 7 (02:15:21):
And the fact that he's a recovering addict, he's got
some edge to him.

Speaker 1 (02:15:24):
Rob, it goes a long way and Olivia Munn let
him leave it in.

Speaker 7 (02:15:30):
Yeah, Wow, good for him. He's a hometown boy. Can't
ignore that, is he? Yeah, it's from Chicago, my hometown. Sorry,
I'm being Wait, you're from Chicago, Rob, shut up?

Speaker 1 (02:15:52):
I haven't mentioned that though. No, first I've heard of it.
All right, you should tell people that the last. All right,
I love my home. What do you want from me?
You know people give me a hard time all year ago.
I know, I say I talk about I'm always homesick. Sure, Alan,
I'm visiting my mom and watching you on the phone.

(02:16:15):
My mom goes, what are you doing? I said, watching
the Alan Cox Show? And she said, oh, he's handsome.
Which one of us were they talking about? That's a
good question, I assumed me. But it could be either
of us.

Speaker 7 (02:16:30):
She is sixty nine, a nice Maybe you could be
my stepdad. I'm fifty two. I'm like fifty two and
sixty nine. Mom was going crazy out there.

Speaker 1 (02:16:41):
Good for mom, Well tell her right back at just this. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:16:57):
Well, okay, boy. People just can't stop dying at Disneyland.
They got another dead body at Disneyland.

Speaker 1 (02:17:07):
There's a lady who.

Speaker 7 (02:17:08):
Had a heart attack one of the roller coasters, the
log Jammer or whatever it was. And then they found
somebody dead. It would maybe jump from a hotel, balcony
or something. Yeah, And they got a third body another day,
another body at disney World, is what TMZ said.

Speaker 1 (02:17:27):
People were filming.

Speaker 7 (02:17:28):
We woke up to a very large law enforcement contingent
outside our balcony. That was the person I think who jumped.
And now they have somebody else. They had the lady
on the on the roller coaster, they had the hotel
and someone with a medical emergency who died. They were

(02:17:53):
in the process of completing their exams for further information.
The third death in just over a week. How about
that three? Now, granted, relatively speaking, when you have a
place with that many people, you're probably gonna.

Speaker 1 (02:18:11):
Have a few of them die for sure. But imagine
you walk into Disney World, you never walk out. That's
the last place you exist. It's gotta suck Disney World.

Speaker 7 (02:18:23):
I mean not if it's your favorite place on the planet,
the happiest.

Speaker 23 (02:18:27):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:18:27):
We've gone in with listeners who have like those passes,
or they're constantly going to disney World, or they're always
going on the cruises, people who spend you know, high
five figures every year in these things. I'm like, wow, yeah, good,
good for I mean I'm talking people with no kids,
grown ass people, and I'm like, your money, your life,
you do what you want.

Speaker 1 (02:18:47):
I couldn't identify with that less.

Speaker 7 (02:18:50):
Nope, I think christ that my fourth grader, doesn't care
at all about Disney stuff. We've taken her like we
went this past year because we go to Orlando or
a spring break. Took it like you know, Disney Adventure
or whatever it is, because that's mostly animal related. But
she doesn't care about Mickey or Minnie or you know,

(02:19:12):
doesn't care. We took her to the Nickelodeon resort in
Cancun when she was little, and she loved that because
that was her SpongeBob was her World. But she couldn't
care less about Disney World. And I'm so happy now.
At some point that could change.

Speaker 5 (02:19:28):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:19:28):
I feel like for a lot of kids, whether you
like it or not, the experience is probably so overwhelming
that it's kind of a rite of passage.

Speaker 1 (02:19:36):
Maybe.

Speaker 7 (02:19:37):
But I never went to Disney. We didn't go anywhere.
I never went to Disney World or Disneyland. I remember
my mom talking about when she was a kid and
they went to Disneyland, how fun it was. Oh, we
rode the teacups. They go, We didn't do Dicky. You
should be there, all were talking. Yeah, we didn't go anywhere. Now,
I'm not saying I would have loved going to Disney
as a kid, but I bet I probably would have.

Speaker 8 (02:20:00):
Yeah, I never went. I've still never gone to the parks.
My kids wanted to do Universal. They weren't into the
whole idea. Now they're both kind of like, well maybe
someday now that they're older, they talk about it.

Speaker 1 (02:20:10):
But when they were little they had no interest in going.
We did do that. We did go to Universal. Imagine
you drop at that park and like, the first person
over to you is a gigantic Mickey Mouse yeah, you're
doing compressions. Yeah, goofy. It's a great place. Yeah, but

(02:20:30):
the trouble not the trouble.

Speaker 7 (02:20:33):
But it's just like the thing with these theme parks
now though, is it's just all like, what is.

Speaker 1 (02:20:39):
Their intellectual property? So I'm not in Harry Potter, but
they have this Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You going
these huge doors and it's Diagon Alley.

Speaker 7 (02:20:48):
That was actually pretty cool because it's like rendered in
such detail. But it's like it's the Jimmy Fallon ride,
Like what because Universal owns NBC, so they're just like, oh,
what do we own? Let's make a ride out of that.
Springfield USA was pretty cool. I will say that because
I'm a huge Simpsons fan of my daughter is too,

(02:21:10):
so that part was fun.

Speaker 1 (02:21:12):
So there is something for everybody to like kind of do.
But you know, I know some kids are way in
the Harry Potter walking around in the glasses in the
row and it's like this fine some for everybody.

Speaker 7 (02:21:24):
Ah good, awesome, And I guess that's the point of those.
Every theme park is intellectual property, you know. Obviously that's
all Disney is. But uh, Ellen, I live at Disney World.

Speaker 1 (02:21:37):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 (02:21:38):
The guys are walking around with wait, I'm gonna have
a t shirts to say, most expensive day ever, drinking
a beer with death in their eyes, wondering how am
I going to pay for this? That is the most
pervasive expression I saw on guys that really really struck
me when I was at Disney World.

Speaker 1 (02:21:58):
Obviously not Cedar point, that's an immune.

Speaker 7 (02:22:00):
It's right in our backyard, right, But the look on
the guys at Disney or at Universal, because they're not
there for them, They're there for their kids.

Speaker 5 (02:22:11):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:22:12):
The moms are used to looking bedraggled, right, they're usually
the ones running around with the kids anyway. But the
dads walking around, they just did. They had a real
green mile vibe to their eyes. Yeah, they're walking around
in mouse ears and you know, I made it quite
clear they will be none of that with yours, truly,

(02:22:33):
there will be no, and fortunately there's no pushback on that.
You know, we're not some family walking around in mouse
ears and matching shirts. And thank the non existent Christ
for that too. But again, your money, your life, you
should do. These are amusement parks and whatever amuses you,

(02:22:58):
But the lot you're standing in these lines on concrete
and it's one hundred degrees and your concrete, if you're lucky,
I mean, yeah, melting. You know that going in. But
I think it's once you're in it, you're like Jesus.
And it would be different if you stood there in
line all day long and the tickets were like fifty bucks.

(02:23:19):
You know, you go okay, But the tickets are like,
you know, two fifty a pop, and you're standing there.
It's a pretty good racket and nobody's being forced to go, obviously.
But this third person in a week walked into Disneyland,
never walked in, never walked out.

Speaker 1 (02:23:39):
They were taken out on a stretcher. Let that be
a lesson to you.

Speaker 5 (02:23:44):
Maybe he got taken for a ride.

Speaker 1 (02:23:50):
Just surrounded by adults in costume, Like, oh, you'd be
so pissed off if that was my last thing. Laying
there on the ground, I turn, I look, and I
see a guy in Yoda ears. I look the other way,
I see someone dressed up as Mini Mouse who's seven
hundred pounds, And this is it, this is how I'm
going out?

Speaker 7 (02:24:10):
Oh god, yeah, but you know what what a surreal
experience that would be if you die you're never gonna
remember it. But they talk about people's last minutes anyway,
where you're kind of in this fugue state and you
might not know what's real. Imagine the added level of
surrealism when you're in and out of consciousness and all
you see are Disney characters.

Speaker 1 (02:24:28):
Yeah, you just want your spouse holding your hand, your
kids being close to you. No, dad, Yeah, you want
that moment. You don't want to be looking at someone
dressed up as Cinderella and Shrek. Yeah, my god, standing
there crying over you. You know, this is the sightest

(02:24:53):
thing I've saw accidents. It's not an accident at all.

Speaker 7 (02:25:00):
Oh it sure as it jumped right out the hotel balcony.
Oh batha, Yeah, Winnie the Pooh.

Speaker 1 (02:25:09):
You can see yours just sitting there all sad. Yeah,
not that it murders anyway.

Speaker 7 (02:25:14):
Hey, that but guy's elbow deep. That ain't a honeypot.
This EMT is trying.

Speaker 1 (02:25:20):
To help and pity the poor soul who lives through that.
Right at that point, you want to die there. You
don't want to come back from that.

Speaker 7 (02:25:29):
Oh yeah, we got all this footage that EMT was
dressed up as Harry Potter had a charcoal lightning bolt
on his forehead and dumb horn rim glasses.

Speaker 1 (02:25:39):
Hey, you gotta escort you out right away.

Speaker 8 (02:25:40):
You gotta go in through background Disney because no one
can see the stuff that happens, you know what I mean.
You're getting paddled. They got to shove you into a
little area for it. Man, what a bad way to go.

Speaker 1 (02:25:53):
L My wife is huge in a Disney, so we
go there a lot, and all I can ever think
of is fifty miles to the east is Cocoa each
and the Sandbar. I mean, yeah, they do.

Speaker 7 (02:26:04):
I know that they It's probably way more because there's
a lot of adult things going on too. It's probably
way more exciting if you can just go and drink,
you know, but most people aren't doing that with their
little kids or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:26:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:26:19):
The only time I was ever at Disney was at
Downtown Disney. I don't even know if that it's still existing.

Speaker 7 (02:26:23):
Yeah, we went to that with the very first year
we went. Our daughter was like two and a half
and it just so happened my older daughter was down
there performing with her choir group, so we were all
down there at the same time.

Speaker 1 (02:26:36):
Yeah, Downtown Disney. Yeah, that's the only time I've ever
been inside of like, well, I've been on Disney property
numerous times part of the things, but I've never been
to one of the parks that way. That's like a right,
but that's like you can kind of dip your toe in.

Speaker 7 (02:26:47):
It's not overwhelming, right, you kind of get a feel
for it, but it's Yeah, Mike andm parmising. You know,
based on all these anecdotes, I'm thinking that Doc mcstuffan's
isn't a qualified physician. You might be right that docment
stuff And I mean she had toy stethoscope.

Speaker 1 (02:27:06):
On as qualified as any ice.

Speaker 7 (02:27:09):
She had a koala as her attending physician, at least
that's how I remember it. Oh, I've got a kangaroo
in turning this shift. Oh okay, can I just die
now please?

Speaker 24 (02:27:20):
And now I must leave you as the Brady bunch
is on and I find four of those children incredibly arousing.

Speaker 1 (02:27:27):
Get at it.

Speaker 26 (02:27:28):
Be careful of what you say, Be careful in every way,
Be careful of what you do. Big brother is watching you.
Be circumspect and discreet, Stay light on your mental feet.

(02:27:49):
One slip and you know who you're through. Big Brother
is watching you, and.

Speaker 23 (02:27:56):
We all nar.

Speaker 26 (02:27:59):
Remember Obedience page, and when you watch that DAV screens,
remember it works both ways. You'll disappear in a wink.
Unless you can double think, you'll vanish into the blue.

(02:28:20):
Big Brother is watching you.
