double U m m as here?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh hey, what's going on? Good afternoon, everybody, Greetings, welcome,
salutations and all that fist bumps. My name is Alan Cox.
Thanks for being here. They just said it, but I'll
say it again. Rob Anthony's here too. What's up?

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Jess is out today? Yes, so you'll be taking winners.

Speaker 7 (01:32):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Now, it was many many months between phone screeners on
the old program here and you were drafted into duty
right over there, answering the phones. Do you think, and
I mean this with no disrespect, you think you'll remember

(01:54):
how to do that?

Speaker 5 (01:55):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Okay? Good? Will there be a crash course required or
we'll find out? Okay, well, then i'll and then we
get to try to see if it actually works. If
the software actually works, it is weird. I was explaining
this to Gosh, who was I explaining it to. I
might have, I know I said it verbally to somebody,
but I was also explaining it to someone in an email.

(02:16):
There was a local metal band who submitted a package
to me, which I appreciate. What I had to tell them.
We don't even have CD players here anymore, right, I mean,
you can find most bands on streaming services anyway. And
so I tell bands we you know, we do a
metal show here on Saturday night. We're doing our first
live show of twenty twenty six this Saturday night. It's
me and Corey Rotick and Pet Butler and it's called

(02:38):
two Hours to Midnight and it's a lot of fun
for people who dig heavy metal. We play a couple
hours of it's a lot of fun. But I like
to play local stuff as well, and so I solicit
submissions from people, and most of them will just email me, go, hey,
here's our band, here's where you find the music. Some
people like this. One person sent me a package, like
an old school package, like in a bubble envelope with

(02:58):
stickers and cards and a seat. Very profession nothing wrong
with that, But I had to tell this person some
other people there aren't even CD players in here anymore,
right let alone. I think the conversation I was having
with someone over the break was cassettes or something. I'm like, oh,
good luck finding a cassette. We on finding a CD player,
let alone a cassette player and a radio station. Because

(03:22):
long story short, here it's all software based right now.
I do have a little thing I can plug in here.
I do have a little bit of outboard gear that
I have plugged in onto the side here, kind of
these catch all ports, and so if I needed to,
I could bring something like that in and plug it
in down here. But what's the point of that. But

(03:46):
our phones are also software based, so there isn't even
like a handset in here. Hello, Hello, who is that hello?

Speaker 6 (03:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
You know, like you used to be able to reach
over you'd see something ring, and then there would be
you know, even for nothing else than a case of emergency,
there would be some kind of handset nothing like that now,
So I genuinely am not lying to you, and I
tell you in the three years almost four I think
four years this summer that we've been downtown, that I
genuinely do not know how to call out on these

(04:15):
phones because if I bring a line live and then
you have to put in the you don't get a
dial tone or anything like that. It's not like you
don't get any any audio cues that something may or
may not be working. So all the incoming calls, obviously
I can pick those up, put them on hold, and
we talk to people all the time. But the I'm
really over explaining this, But it was interesting to me
because I just had this conversation with some of her

(04:37):
break that radio stations, as far as equipment goes very
different than they used to be, very different, which brings
with a twenty first century set of problems too. You're
constantly troubleshooting something and you know, and I am, contrary
to popular belief, not an it whiz. That's not what
I'm here for. And so when we have to rely
on people who do know those things, and then if

(04:58):
they don't know, and we're just kind of staring at
each other. Now, I found my box.

Speaker 8 (05:03):
I was doing some stuff at my house and I
found my boxes of air checks, all my old tapes
of my old shows from when I started, And I'm like, oh, cool,
be kind of neat to hear what I sounded like.
And I don't have any way to listen to any
of that. I don't have a cassette player. I don't
have anything.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
A couple of Christmas ago and my wife got me
one of those things that you It's a cassette player
with a USB chord, so it converts the cassette to
MP three and so I've done some of that with
some very old cassettes. Now you can also send them
to companies that will digitize them for you. But as these,
and I'm sure you know, as these are the only

(05:40):
copies we have of these, I'm like, if anything got
screwed up, there goes all that just for posterity. I mean,
I've got two full cassettes of all the bits I
did when I was an intern slash stunt boy for
this morning show in Chicago, when I first got started.
So I have two full cassettes of bits that I
did with that show. But they're the only copies. They've

(06:02):
got the original station stickers on them, you know what
I mean. So if if something happened to those, I'd
be screwed.

Speaker 8 (06:09):
I'm guessing it's like the first three, maybe five years
of my career is what I have there. Like I
didn't once I got to a certain point, I stopped
keeping I know guys that keep every single archive of
every single thing they've ever done, and I stopped at
a certain point. So I think this is the vast
majority of everything I have is in this.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Box I have well, and it's also it's a double
edged sword two to have you the bulk of your
career in a tub. That's what I've got at home, right.
It's labeled, and I've got about a dozen binders. I
have every show I ever did in the eight years
I was on Pittsburgh. But they're on many disc so
I have, you know, another archaic audio format. But so

(06:50):
they are these binders full of mini discs and they're labeled.
Because I'm anal retentive and so I could go back
and see what I did on let's say November the seventeenth,
two thousand and one, I would have a full show there,
and you cataloged everything. So it was like, here's what
I talked about that day. No, I don't have show logs, okay, No,
I have old show logs from when I was on
in Chicago, but Pittsburgh, because I was still playing except

(07:11):
for the past three years when I switched to mornings,
I was still playing a lot of music. I was
like doing a lot of bits, but there was a
lot of music, sure, and so yeah, so but to
look at this tub and go that thing has cassettes
and mini discs in it, and you know, maybe some
burned CDs, some CDRs, none of which I would have
to bring something in here to play those on the

(07:31):
you know, just even for my own whatever. Anyway, I
went way way long on that. What it meant to
say was, rob I got home last night and apparently
there's a puppy in my house. Oh what, my wife
and child bought a dog. Oh so there's a there's
a puppy.

Speaker 9 (07:46):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Now, nobody slept last night because the thing is cooing
and you know, and yelping and whatever. And it's fine.
But missing the back. Very very cute. If you're watching
the live stream, there's a photo of the dog. She is.
My daughter wants to name her Esther. I don't know
how she landed on Esther. It is a crazy cute dog.
It is a Lab cattle dog mix. I read that

(08:08):
they're called labrah healers. I don't know if that's true.
But she's two months old and she is a nugget.
So yeah, anyway, I didn't you know. We we put
our dog to sleep the week before a Thanksgiving, Our
our lovely aussy Juno, who I talked about for many,
many years. We got her not long after coming to Cleveland,
and she would have been fifteen in a few weeks

(08:29):
or as Tom, who sent us the message said, Rob,
we had Juno murdered a few days before its giving,
right by a medical professional. You're professionally murdered. And then
I send her off to pastures. Now I buried her
in the garden. And so what is that six or
seven weeks? Oh yeah, six seven weeks, six seven weeks.

(08:50):
We have a puppy in the house. So any who,
I said, well, good luck with all that. I'm going
to bed and enjoy that, uh, you know, because my
daughter wanted a dog that was kind of coming up
with her. We had our other dog longer than we've
had her, you know what I mean, So like it's
kind of our dog, not necessarily her dog, and so

(09:11):
it's very important to her that, you know, and my
wife had a really hard time on her dog, dight.
So anyway, I got a puppy in my house now
and that'll be fun. See who knows. But that was
quite a short congratulations on the new member. I got
her from Animal Rescue and Rescue. Yeah, the Allen Cox
Show on one. We all make mistakes. I've made a

(09:38):
huge mistake, huge mistake, Dad, This one to your missed
The Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
God's disgusting mistake ONMMS.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh my, he won six by seven eight one double
O seven if you want to join us live eight
hundred and three four eight one o seven calves of
the Pacers last night.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
Boy.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
When I first punched that up this morning, I read
it backwards and I was like, you've got to be
kidding me, because the pacers aren't good. Only beat them
by four yep, But whatever was that kind of night?
A win is a win, one twenty one sixteen, Calves
over the Pacers there in Indianapolis. They will take tonight
off and head up to Minneapolis. Oh boy, they're having
fun up in Minneapolis, aren't they. Ice is just shooting

Tomorrow night eight o'clock there and here on MMS you're
a FM home for Cleveland Cavaliers basketball actually playing the
Wolves back to back Tomorrow night there in Minneapolis, and
then the Tea Wolves come here on Saturday afternoon. Uh
to hit the board's over at the rock of the riddle.

(10:52):
And of course you'll hear it all here on the
buzzard and on the iHeart Radio app. Next week. By
the way, your friend and mine, Daniel Sansbury, will have
Calves Magic tickets for you. That game is coming up
on the something and it's when is that game? I
don't know it's coming up. It is a uh, definitely

(11:15):
coming up, definitely on the way. It's clearly lost my Oh,
January twenty six it's a Monday night. It's like a
couple of weeks. Is that the one we're supposed to
be going to? I learned about that today isn't it right,
that's that's the staff outing right. Oh, no, wonder he
has given away tickets. All right, so we'll be at
the same game. We're giving away tickets. Oh good, you'll
have better seats than we will, but you will Calves

(11:36):
game staff outing. Well again, I didn't notice, you know,
Rob and I hosted. It was Cleveland Rocks Night at
the Monsters game. We had a lot of fun this
past Saturday. I didn't know that they had changed the
branding for the Loudville Bar. Yeah. It used to be
like the Bud Zone or something, and now it's the
Corona Cantina. Yep. Last season. I guess right. You're right.

(11:59):
That is the same night as the Every year there's
an iHeart staff Calves game where everybody gets together, and
of course year to year they have to distribute fewer
and fewer tickets. But it's fun. I like doing it.
I'll drag Rob along for a couple of minutes and
then he'll dip and I'll hang out. Did they send
something out already about it? Because I found out about

(12:21):
it today. I think they send something out a while ago.
Oh they did, they did, Okay, I had nothing in
my calendar, and then they sent a reminder. I think
prior to we had some big, huge staff meeting this morning,
kind of like hey, welcome for twenty twenty six, kind
of thing that we do every year, and it was
mentioned about the staff casket. Yeah. No, I've had it
in my calendar for a while. Save the date exclamation

(12:44):
point is what it says, Rob, I don't have that anyway.
If you are not one of our fellow colleagues here
at iHeart Cleveland, you can still get yourself to that game.
Stansbury will have tickets for you all next week. I
next week will have tickets for you for Incarceration, which
is I'll tell you what between Sonic Temple and Columbus
and may in Incarceration out in Manfield in July every year.

(13:04):
If you are a metal fan or a hard rock
fan in Ohio, you're living a life. Boy. You are
breathing rarefied air between these two festivals. So next week
they haven't announced band one, by the way, but that's
the way they do things now. They used to kind
of dangle a couple bands in front of you. Now
that these respective festivals have so many years under their
belts and people know that there is a standard of

(13:27):
quality that is consistently met. They just go, we're not
even going to tell you who the bands are, and
this thing we'll sell out right, And they're right. So
it's the seventeenth eighteen, the nineteenth of July, back out
in Manfield, the Oha State Formatory, the Incarceration to two
and Music Festival, and I will have those tickets for
you all next week they will be announcing some of

(13:47):
the bands very very soon. Well, i'll give you a
little bit of sneak peek rub. They announced a band
called ten Hours of Relaxing Diarrhea. Sounds are cool againest
I love them? This is a good band, don't I
hear them? Wait? Hold on, oh there we are. Yeah,
these guys are gonna do us. Yeah, they're gonna Yes,

(14:08):
they're going to do a side stage over there at
Incarceration And it's boy, that is relaxing, isn't it. I
feel fully relaxed. Tell you what, I'll tell you what.
You give me a time stamp and I'll tell you what.
Just throw out a time for me, give me a time.
Let's go to this is hours forty seven minutes, three

(14:29):
hours forty seven minutes, sixteen second. Yep, three hours forty
seven minutes. There you go. Boy, it's great, isn't it.
I mean, that is fantastic. Somebody put ten hours on
YouTube of what they call relaxing diarrhea sound. Yeah. Now

(14:50):
the account A listener sent me this. It's not like
I'm out there looking for these. A listener sent me this.
The name of the account is the Diarrhea God. Okay,
And you know, if you know anything about the Diarrhea God,
you know how people argue over whether or not it's
male or female. Nevertheless, you really do box yourself kind

(15:10):
of into a finite space when you call yourself that,
you're kind of tethered to that information. Right, nobody's going
to subscribe to the Diarrhea God and expect, you know,
a big breakout on the Israel Gaza situation, right, You're
gonna be given them, you know, loads of diarrhea content.
Well yeah, yeah. So whether or not they have been

(15:35):
booked for incarceration, I don't know, but I will have
those three day weekend passes for you all next week.

Speaker 8 (15:42):
I'll have to spend some more time with it and
figure out where the actual loop is, right, because ten hours.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
You have to figure it's looped, so is it like
it's not a person. I'm just wonder having ten straight
hours of relaxing diary.

Speaker 8 (15:56):
That's what I thought yesterday. I thought it was one
guy just sitting there. But the amount in which he's
going I don't believe is sustainable for ten hours. I
think you're probably right again.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I don't know anything about this pretty wrong alimentary canal,
but thank you to whoever sent me that Relaxing sounds
ten hour edition.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
Now.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I didn't dip into the rest of the offerings on
this person's page. They have unedited bubbly sharts. They have
something called oh in reverse? Do you want to hear
it in reverse? It probably sounds the same he's gonna
hear go so like the Beautiful People, doesn't it. Yeah, No,

(16:49):
this isn't ten hours long, but it's Yeah. I wonder
if that's what they used in the song. I don't know. Yeah,

(17:12):
I mean, you'd expect something like this from low Brian
Warner out there, and we finally cracked the code. Yes,
And I don't need you all right enough of that.
That's terrible anyway, Hey, thanks for sending me that. It's
pretty good. This has been fun with backwards diarrhya everybody, everybody, ah.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
I mentioned at the top of the show that I
got home last night and discovered that my wife and
child had purchased a puppy. I want to also mentioned
that tomorrow, speaking of dogs, rob our Buddy fitz Dog
is back in here tonight. Greg Fitzsimmons, one of our
favorite comedians, is doing the weekend at Hilarities, and he
will be in here tomorrow. He's always very complimentary of me.

(18:05):
He says that I am one of the two radio
shows in the entire country that he loves to do.
He likes doing Preston and Steve in Philadelphia and they're
very very good at what they do and this one.
And so every time he comes in, I feel like, boy,
this is the time, or I'm gonna get like knocked
out of the top two or something. This is the
time where I'm not going to really bring it, or

(18:26):
we're gonna I don't know. There's I feel pressure every
time he comes in, but I'm always so happy to
see him, and I think he's so funny that I'm
sure I'll get over it. How are you doing you
feel you sound like, you feel better. I'm very heavily medicated.
Oh you are? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm taking
a ton of stuff.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
The sort of throat for the most party's gone, but
I have like the whole right side of my face
is just clogged, my ear, my nose, my everything. So yeah,
I'm just taking like a tailand all cold and sinus
and I chasing that with pseudo fid uh huh.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
So you got a tea? I was gonna say, so,
you're really You're trying to nuke the whole thing. That's
what I end up doing anytime I feel under the weather.
So I'm like, maybe I can nuke this before it
really blows into a full blown thing. And I took
a super dose of vitamin C the last two days too,
so we'll see now what constitutes a super dose. Just
take a ton of it, right, But do you do
you take it every day? Do you normally take a
vitamin C? I don't, you don't, okay, exactly. It's in

(19:24):
my multi vitamin.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
I take a multi vitamin m HM, which I got
from my friends at Mentality Health. It's all part of
my current regiment DOW and you can check it out
for yourself at mentality health dot com.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Now here's my question, how what is the minimum number
of vitamins that you that can be in to be
considered a multi vitamin? Does it just have to be
more than one? I think so. I take a number
of supplements in the morning, and I'm very ambivalent about
it because depending on who you talk to, they'll go,
it's all nonsense, it's all sawdust, there's no regulation, blah

(19:54):
blah blah. But I grew up in a house where
my mom was very for as straight laced as my
my mom is, she has a very hippie sensibility about wellness,
and so I grew up in a house where, like
my mom takes a thousand supplements and vitamins and things
like that. So I've really gone back and forth as
an adult between not doing anything because I get it

(20:14):
in my head and I go, it's silly. I take
good enough care of myself as it is, blah blah blah.
Too well, why not? And I'm currently in the cycle
of I take a handful of supplements every day.

Speaker 8 (20:26):
See, I just take the multi and then you know
the other stuff that I'm doing, obviously, but I take
the multi vitamin every day.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I think there's a benefit to it. I mean, you
ask my old doctor, you know, a general practice doctor
said it was it was luxury urine is what he
would call it.

Speaker 8 (20:44):
He's like, you're just He's like, you pee everything out.
He's like, none of it's going into your body, You're
peeing it all out. I'm like, well, that can't be right,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Like that, there's got to be a benefit to taking
some vitamins, right, Like you can see if you take
a lot of Vitamin D your numbers go up. You
can see all that work. You got to be doing
something well. It also depends on how frequently you're peeing, right,
if you're drinking a ton of water, which technically you're
supposed to be doing. But they're good, they're gonna come
right out. Yeah, I do know what The truth, as
with most things, is probably somewhere in the middle. Yeah,

(21:13):
But there's some people who are very very pro supplement,
especially if you spend yourself. You spend a lot of
time online, you know. I follow a lot of fitness
influencers just because that there's good ideas for when I
work out. But they're all pushing supplements, you know what
I mean. And to the untrained eye, they could be
no different than what Alex Jones is trying to sell people.

(21:34):
So I don't know.

Speaker 8 (21:34):
That was the other thing they force the factor ninety two.
He's like, you've got another five years or so to live. No, well,
who knows. I mean, based on that test we took,
I got what ten something something like that, that's what
that death click one. But he said, you've got another
five years of being able to really put on a
good amount of muscle.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
You know. He's like, so now is the time. He's like,
if you want to try to stay in.

Speaker 8 (21:58):
Decent shape for what you've got left, whether it's thirty,
forty years whatever, he said, now's the time to do it,
because once you hit a certain point, you're not gonna
put on bulk muscles.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
That's the problem. That's why I'm trying to go full
tilt boogie and have maybe for the past ten years,
is because they used to think that you incrementally had
a harder time with things. Yeah, and now they're just like,
once you hit sixty, you pretty much fall off a cliff, right.
I'm like, oh great, because I'll be fifty five this summer.
So I'm like, but I take good care of myself
and I people can make fun of me for squeezy
salads and things like that, but I'm I'm the healthiest

(22:26):
fifty five year old I know, almost. But yeah, that's
kind of a bummer too. They're like, yeah, you only
got a few years left, so really kick it in
a gear. It's more about like developing good habits than
anything else.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
So I think I'm just gonna try to get back
because what I end up doing I'm an idiot, right Like,
I'm like, all right, cool, I'm back in the gym,
and then I go like I never stopped going, right,
I try, and then I get pissed off. I can't
lift as much as I thought I could. I get
you know, So I'm like, I'm gonna just take my
time to get into it. Slow, start calisthenics, that kind
of stuff, and then then go you know, it's a
little bits at a time, but that's the next step.

(22:58):
Like I've lost the majority of the weight, I want
to lose maybe a little bit more, and then I
want to start, you know, really focusing on the well.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
We're also starting to see in full bloom now the
other side of the GLP ones. Yeah, you know all
these people that arend you you can get we go
v now on a pill, right, so that that technology
keeps advancing to the point where you know, pretty soon
you're just gonna have a thing you'll put on your
tongue and you whatever. But you'll see more and more
of these articles about people who really went all in

(23:26):
on those, and they're like, they lose muscle mass and
there's all these other things that go with They're like, yeah,
you do lose weight, and yeah, it happens pretty quickly,
but they're like a lot of people now they walk around,
even get in the shower, they look like a melted candle. Well,
that's why you don't want that either. That's why it
was so important the way that I did it right, Like,
how'd you do it well?

Speaker 8 (23:43):
A mentality health Alan mentality health dot Com, slash Radio
if you'd like to learn more. Basically, they had me
doing all the weight loss was one piece, right, So
the GLP one was going to assist with that. But
they what you just said about muscle mass is what
they worry about the most, right, because it attacks everything
when you're not eating your body eats whatever it can

(24:05):
to burn energy, right, So it's gonna eat your muscle,
it's gonna eat your fat, it's gonna eat everything.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
And that's what they work on, you know, in.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
This particular case where you're taking a testosterone supplement or
something like that as well, they're like, okay, so look
at now, your muscle isn't going away, and you're actually
gaining muscle while you're losing weight. That's the most important part.
Just the fat's going away. You gotta eat a lot
of spinach, lots of spinach. I do actually love spinach,
so I do eat a lot of stuff. My nine
year old is crazy for spinach, my favorite.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
All you got to do is get a kid to
like one or two fruits and vegetables and you're in
good shape. My daughter has she loves spinach and pickle beets,
and I'm like, good, that's it. I'll put them in
your lunch. You know, I hated spinach as a kid.
Pickled beets I'm agnostic about. She loves them. Finish is
the greatest side of the planet. It really is.

Speaker 8 (24:56):
There's nothing to take a whole bag and you end
up with a little anty bitty thing on your when
you make it.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
A little bit of olive oil, some crush, red pepper,
and you're on your way. Oh you're really zuging it up.
Oh dude, I love space. I don't do all that stuff.
I just grab I like Kale, I like him. I
don't put anything on anything, you know what I mean.
I to eat it, yeah, because I'm just doing it
for I'm not eating because I like it, right, because
it's good for it. Yeah. Maybe I would eat more
of those kinds of things if I were hushing them

(25:21):
up like you are. Oil.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
There's not much to it.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, a little bit of garlic, crush, red pepper, olive oil,
spinach done, So you're trying to essentially mask the flavor
of the spinach is not at all. Oh, those are
complementary items. Yeah, you don't want to mask anything. Well, anyway,
somebody pointed me to this article about it is the
worst flu season in twenty five years. I feel like

(25:43):
every year the story is that it's the worst flu
season in twenty five years. I mean, we've got Captain
Brainworm in charge of public health. Of course that doesn't help,
but I feel like every year they're like a flu
is worse than it's ever been worse in the United
States a quarter century. They might be I might be misremembering.
I don't know. I know my mother in law has

(26:04):
like this nuclear flu right now, so she's been sequestering
herself for the better part of two or three weeks.
I've seen a lot of people wearing masks, which is
like called ice rob They don't want to show their faces, more.

Speaker 8 (26:15):
So than ever, like since COVID, I should say, and
it makes sense, right, Like whatever you believe about wearing masks,
you know, it probably is going to keep you from
getting sick if you decide you don't want to get sick.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
So if we wear one, it makes sense. Masks work.
I mean, that's the bottom line. People don't think masks
work are morons. They work. What I don't understand the
people who I see wearing masks in their car, you
know what I mean. And there are some people who
associate masks with a pandemic when they see Again. I
never understood when people got mad if they saw another
person wearing a mask. My thought was always they might

(26:49):
live with someone who's immunocompromised. All right, you don't know
their story. It might not just be them doing something
in the grocery store, but it is the person by
themselves in their own car wearing one. I'm like, hey,
I want to roll down the window and get their story.
I want to know what that is.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
Well.

Speaker 8 (27:05):
And it is quite often too that you see someone
who might be going through chemotherapy treatments or whatever. They're
wearing them, you know, because they can't get sick, you know.
So yeah, I noticed though more and more, Like even
I just went before the show. I just went next
door and grabbed a cup of coffee, and there was
a woman sitting at the bar.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Oh God for you.

Speaker 8 (27:22):
She was working on something and she had she had
one too. But that's where like I'll giggle a little
bit because she has the coffee and she's on her
laptop and she's working with her mask on, and then
she'll move the mask to take a sip of coffee
and then put it back on. I mean, I get it,
but I mean you're exposing yourself at that point, you know, Yeah,
you're exposing yourself. The coffee rob, Yeah, that is what
she's trying to and whatever she's breathing in. So I

(27:45):
walked over and I went right right on her cup
just wants people to cough, excuse me, sorry, you're doing that. Hey,
let me get when she comes back, let me send
her over and we'll.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
You want to just open word, let's clockwork R and
your eyes wide open and I'll just sneeze in your face.
And speaking of drink, and we were talking yesterday about
that article. They said that if you want to have
a good time at a party, but not make an
ass out of yourself, this was kind of more tailored
to the Hollywood party season. Was two drinks optimal, right,

(28:19):
you'll have a good time, but you won't go crazy.
Two drinks at the airport though a little bit more difficult.
There was a girl on TikTok. She's at o hair airport.
She's sitting there waiting to fly to Chicago, and she
just wanted two drinks. You know, when you're at the airport,
you're kind of in limbo, especially if your flight gets
delayed or whatever. You know, you've got an idea in
your head. You know, you can't control when you get there,

(28:39):
you can't always control when you're flying out. So she's
just at a airport bar. And again this is her
side of the story. But she's like, I had a
drink and they're not cheap. By the way, she was
at the Goose Island Beer Company, which is a local
brewery there in Chicago. They catered to my wedding, as
a matter of fact, you many years ago. And she's
waiting to get on a flight, killing time. She orders
a drink and the orders another one from the waitress

(29:03):
a little while ago, and the waitress said to her,
I have to cut you off. And the girl's like,
what are you talking about? And the girl, for whatever reason,
the server said, ah, said she had been overserved, and
this girls like, I don't know what the hell you're
talking about. And so I don't know what this server
read on her or whatever, but it made me think
of is Illinois is one of those states where they

(29:25):
have I forget what they're called that Illinois is one
of those states where the law is like if a
bartender overserves you and then you go do something, like,
they can sue them.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
I forget what those are called. And that might be
the case in Ohio. I don't know. I just know
that's how it is in Illinois. And so I think
there's a lot of these places that are overly cautious
because you could lose your liquor license. You can do list,
but two drinks doesn't seem like a lot. But because
the girl's on TikTok, she flipped out and she's like,
I don't know what they're talking about here, whatever, But
I would think that if you're running a bar at

(29:59):
an airport, you're probably airing on the side of caution.
I don't know. She tried to have two drinks, tried
to have two drinks, and the service suggested that maybe
she had already been overserved. Now this is her side
of the story, but there's no footage of her screaming
at the groll or screaming you know. This is all
in the aftermath of it. I don't know. But for

(30:20):
all the stories we see about pilots getting on the
plane drunk right because they've been in the airport bar,
it seems to be it doesn't seem to be any
rhyme or reason how people are getting cut off. I mean,
I've you ever been lit up in an airport? Oh? Yeah, man,
Because it used to be if you were a passenger,
you could get on a plane three sheets to the wind.

(30:41):
Now they kind of have an eye on you, because
people can't control themselves anymore on the plane. So there's
situations now where they won't let you on if they
think you're too drunk, and then that can lead to
a whole bunch of other problems. But better than to
be thirty six thousand feet in the air and somebody
goes nuts.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Right.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
But yeah, all so she is not quite sure what
caused that situation. But this girl is like, I should
get an apology, Like, oh, you shouldn't. You're gonna get
apology from the server at the O hair terminal bar.
You're not gonna You'll be fine. Hey, stripper Scott, Hi,

(31:21):
how are you guys? What's up? Oh?

Speaker 7 (31:25):
That are topic from the the hurr disquestion. But a
few minutes ago I heard uh talking about the diarrhea
crack all right, and and it sounded like Rob was
in disbelief that someone I'm you know, gonna have diarrhea
for ten hours. Great, buddy, if I got some news

(31:46):
for you.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Are you suggesting you've had diarrhea for ten hours straight?

Speaker 7 (31:53):
I mean not I it's not literally straight, in the
fact that it's just without any respite of seconds, but
it is, you know, since I loved the gall bladder.
There's been days, but it's just like.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
It's worse than any hangover or flu you've ever had,
where it's like it just it.

Speaker 10 (32:10):
Just won't stop.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
It's like this is my new job now, was my
full time job?

Speaker 1 (32:13):
A diarrhea hangover?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Rob.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I don't think that I've ever heard of anything like that.
But yes, of course, Scott, people like your stomach bugs
and food poison all that kind of stuff. That could
be a ten hour period during which your insides are
turning inside out. But I mean, of course we were
joking about ten hours, right, Yeah, it's a straight run
of the scoots.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Mmm.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Did they let you keep your gallbladder in a jar? Scott?

Speaker 7 (32:38):
No, they it seek It's like a lot of that
says anything they removed in a hospital they have to
like dispose of and one of those red bens and stuff.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Well, yeah, it's a biohazardous material potentially. But I just
wondered if maybe you know a little side thing there,
you know, there's when when you have a kid.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
We did it.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
You know, they got a company they'll come and take
the placent away and they'll freeze dry and turn it
into capsules. So I would think maybe then that bio
has my.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
My wisdom teeth. When I got those pulled out, I
think it was my literally my thirtieth birthday and I
had to keep my wisdom teeth. So that was kind
of cool.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
But do you still have that? I was gonna say,
it's it's it's so it's quintessential stripper Scott that he
had his wisdom teeth removed on his thirtieth birthday. Right.

Speaker 7 (33:20):
He ended up being like a Saturday, and they scheduled me,
I just need to happen pretty soon, and what do
you do on Saturday. I'm like, oh, okay, I guess
I'm getting my wisten teeth hold on now. And it
was that was It wasn't the best birthday, but yeah,
I get a lot of people get them on there
in like twenties and stuff like how long long I could?

Speaker 1 (33:39):
What are you doing on Saturday? It's my birthday? So nothing,
I'm getting my wisdom I guess mind taking out. When
I was forty, I had been in Cleveland for like
six months when I had mine taking out, and then
I got dry socket and I wanted to cut my
own head off and heard so bad okay, thank you, Scott.
I appreciating the call. There you got dry socket? I did. Oh,
it was the war the guy it's like, it's fine,

(34:00):
it happens very rare, like that happened to.

Speaker 8 (34:02):
Me when I got mine out I was eighteen. I'll
never forget it. It was I never got I didn't
take like the anesthesia or whatever. They just give you
the the local hand in your mouth, you know, and
they're pulling him out and he had to break one
to get it out. And I was a smoker at
the time, and he's like, look, two things. Don't smoke
and leave the packing in. I swear I walked out

(34:24):
of that place and lit a cigarette. Oh, just is
leaning out the window and he goes, what did I
tell you?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
It's the main guy. I still spy. I never Thank
god I got lucky and didn't get it. But yeah,
it's that. It's that motion like if you're you know,
breathing in or you're sucking whatever.

Speaker 8 (34:41):
I guess I should probably rephrase how it's like that
that's what causes the dry socketys.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Well, I wasn't sucking and it weren't blowing anything. I
sure wasn't smoking. Sure you're not the Allen Carr Show.
On one hundred points of it.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
Called the Alan Cock Show.

Speaker 11 (35:00):
I'm sure to work for people on vacation when they
don't have to do something, but I can't imagine it
working on a day to day basis two.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
Six seven, eight one double O seven or eight one
double O seven.

Speaker 12 (35:18):
The stars at night are big and brian. In the
of Texas, the prariest guy is wide and high.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
If you listen to us on our iHeartRadio app from
out of state, tell me where you do it. We
are very well represented in the lone Star state. We
have upwards of probably thirty bureau chiefs in and around
well in the state of Texas, Rix and Amarillo. Melissa's
in Beaumont. Dee Rock is in El Paso. We hear
from him pretty frequently. Becky. A lot of other people

(35:54):
are in Austin, Lisas in Brownsville. Eric is in Saginaw, Texas.
And zz Top. They used to call them the little
Old band from Texas. I think there's a documentary on
zz top that has that name. And I didn't realize
that not everybody knew the story about Gillette offering the
money to shave. I thought that was pretty widely known

(36:15):
in zz Top lore Billy Gibbons. Didn't you see Billy
Gibbons not long enough did the solo thing. Yep. The
guy looks like he weighs eighty pounds. He's very very thin.
He's rail thin. Billy Gibbons. And famously, Jimmy Hendrix's favorite
guitarist back in the day was Billy Gibbons. Now, I
want to clarify, rob that was when Jimmy Hendrix was alive.

(36:38):
Oh por don't. Yes, I don't know who his favorite
guitar player was after he died. But Billy Gibbons once
again told the story. He was talking to Jay Moore.
Remember Jay Moore, I do. He was talking about how
they had gotten an offer to shave, which is great. Listen,
that's one of those things that Gillette knew they weren't
going to do. But it's good promotion for Gillette. You know,

(37:00):
get your name in the paper or whatever. People are
talking about those Zzy Top guys doing this.

Speaker 11 (37:04):
Is it true you guys were offering a million dollars
to shave your beards.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
It's true. It was a million dollars per man. Was
that Gillette?

Speaker 11 (37:11):
They deny it and during a Super Bowl commercial. Yeah,
so three mil Gillette is easy top to shave your beard.
So we passed, We passed, and we got out and
our fans loved it.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Why would Gillette deny that? You think we didn't offer
zz top a million dollars a person to do that?
I wonder, you know, I wondered why they would deny
I would take credit for that. I go, yes, we
certainly did do that.

Speaker 8 (37:38):
Well, technically they only would have offered two million dollars
because Frank Beard never had a beard, right, he just
had a mustag rh Yeah, unless maybe that was they
were saying, they give them a million bucks to shave
off the stash.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Well, all, he's got a million dollars a man. So
the two guys I think he might have meant the
two guys with beards, well, he said three mil. He
and Dusty Hill. Uh, the story was that they'd offered.
Of course Dusty Hills passed away. YEP. I don't even
think is Frank Beard still the drummer of zz top

(38:07):
or did he bail? I would assume he thought it
was just Billy Gibbons, because if they're gonna go back
out this year, right, they are actually zz Top and
not coming here. They are doing a co headlining run
with Dwight Yoakam. Remember Dwight yoaka. It's called the Dos
and Egos Tour. They're going out in twenty twenty six.
Dwight Yoakum, I'm really I'm ironically more familiar with him
as an actor. Yeah, I know he's a singer. I

(38:29):
know he's been for a long time. I don't know
his music. It's contraition folk and rock and all that,
and he's so good. Was a sling blazing blade. Oh yeah,
John Ritter too, the late John Ritter. But Dwight Yoakam,
you know, anytime he shows up in a movie, he's
in those. Jason Statham had a couple of movies called Crank.
Remember Crank, No. The premise of these movies was that

(38:51):
he had like a pacemaker in his hard or something.
He's like a hitman, or he's an action guy, or
he's your basic Jason Statham protagonist, but he had to
be near a power source at any given time where
he'd you know, like Jack is Hard. The Dwight Yoakum
was in those anyway, zz Top and Dwight Yoakum are

(39:12):
doing a co headlining tour they'll do I think a
couple of months in the spring. They're not coming here.
The closest date to us is in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
If you want to go, drive three hours to see
zz Top, they're playing Fort Wayne on April to twenty five.

Speaker 8 (39:28):
I have to assume if Frank wasn't with him, they
wouldn't be touring a zz Top. He'd just be doing
the Billy Gibbons tour like I saw right, because it
was all zz Top songs.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Oh, I was gonna ask that wasn't him doing solo stuff.
It was all he just did two hours of zz
top stuff.

Speaker 8 (39:42):
Yeah, And I mean he even had the spinning guitar
and all that stuff, and it was it was just
like watching a zz top show.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, let's see.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
I also did not know obviously I knew the shaving
their beard story, but I did not know he's the
guy in nickel Backs rock Star. I didn't know that
was Billy Gibbons. He's in Nickelback's Rocks. He's the guy going, huh,
you're going to do it?

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (40:08):
Really?

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:09):
All that gums the case of there's a guy is
rock Star supposed to be a parody is the wrong word.
I know that they're kind of poking fun at that lifestyle,
but the little interstitials with Billy Gibbons there is really silly.
I'll have the case of the I don't know that
I knew that they were that tongue in cheek with
that song. A cop that's gotten big, like I might

(40:33):
have missed him.

Speaker 7 (40:33):
Hold on.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Enough love me.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
What you mean as you say that's obvious, It's obvious
it's him now that you're never I don't even know
how I found that out. It was like overbreak. Wow.
Something was like Billy Gibbons, who was talking in Nickelback's
Rock Stars some web Dreams Sharon James Dean for I

(41:02):
had the case of deal. Where's the case of deal?
Line else the yeah, I don't care that much, but
uh yeah, I didn't know that. I gotta tell you man,

(41:25):
that is I don't care what anyone says. That is
a fantastic song.

Speaker 8 (41:30):
I love that song if it if it was not Nickelback,
everybody would say they love that song.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Well, listen, it's just a fun rock song. I've always said,
Chad Kroger write the hell out of a song. The
guy is a phenomenal songwriter. I don't have that vitriol
toward Nickelback A lot of the people do. They're just
not a band that like, really scratches me where I itch.
I'm never mad when I hear them. Sometimes I'll turn
them off. I think that their earlier stuff is more
fun than down the Road and really early Nickelback, I

(42:00):
was like that there was something different about it. I
don't know, more successful rock band, the more successful you get,
I know, you have to kind of get a little
glossier and people expect a certain thing from you. When
you're starting out, you're kind of doing a shotgun blast
and the audience will find what they like, and then
when you zoom in on that, you know. I've talked
about a band like the Goo Goo Dolls, who way

(42:22):
back in the day were pretty much like a punk band, right,
and then they had a couple of ballads, and now
all Johnny Resnik's doing is cash and checks are writ
in ballads. He's smart and getting plastic surgery. That's he's
spending too much money on. That guy is wild looking, Yeah,
he does not Johnny Resnik. Now you can't even tell
it's him, Like if you look at an old picture
of him. It's not even the same dude, No, but

(42:47):
he's still out there doing stuff.

Speaker 8 (42:50):
Yeah, that nickelback the beginning, stuff like this song about
banging in the car and the dad catching him in
the wards or whatever.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
That's that animal, such good stuff.

Speaker 8 (42:58):
Like like again, I think it's just people love to
hate that band, but that's a straight ahead rock song man.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Yeah, there's Johnny Resnik. I don't know where in this
where in his that doesn't even look like he looks now.
I don't know where on his cosmetic surgery spectrum that
one lands, but there are some you know, because he
was like a regular good looking surfer dude back in
the day and then somewhere along the line. You know,
it's not just there are different standards put on famous females, obviously,

(43:30):
but guys aren't immune to it either. You know, Kenny
Loggins is seventy eight years old today. You want to
look at a guy who's had a lot of plastic surgery,
you look at Kenny Logan. I shouldn't say a lot
of plastic surgery. He's clearly had a couple of facelifts.
Like remember how Kenny not Kenny lock Kenny Rogers or
Kenny Rogers looked before he died.

Speaker 7 (43:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, and that guy didn't even die from complications of
cosmetic surgery. First couple of times you saw Kenny Rodgers,
You're like, wow, that guy has had a lot of
stuff done to his and he did it like all
at once too. He went from looking like, hey, this
is Kenny Rogers from Kenny Rodgers Roasters to that, and
I was like whoa, because he was fat memories all
drunk and fat and bloated, and then all of a

(44:12):
sudden he's like this raal thin, different looking man. He
had a movie in the eighties called six Pack and
that he was the quintessential like pot belly gray beard guy. Yeah,
you know, he'll be dead six years this coming spring,
as a matter of fact. Another one in twenty t

(44:32):
another one in twenty twenty. Yeah, Eddie van Halen Neil
Peart today. I was thinking it was five years, but
he died keep forgetting its twenty twenty six. Neil Peart
died six years ago today. Yeah, so but yeah, yeah,
you look at the pictures of Kenny Rogers towards the end, man,
it was it was wild. He had so much filler
under his eyes, like his cheeks were puffed at. He

(44:53):
looked ban.

Speaker 10 (44:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
It's gonna be tough, you know, because you want to
look good and and you hope for the best on
the other side of that. That's the thing with cosmetic surgery, is, boy,
you really hope that it ages well because there's some
people that just absolutely nail it. I know a lot
of people don't like Kim Kardashian, but I think she's
unbelievably gorgeous. So whoever did the work on her, I

(45:17):
think that family gets a bulk rate. But whoever did
the work on her did a great job. Somehow, somebody
did some kind of cosmetic surgery on Lindsay Lohan that
makes her actually look like she did before. She looks
fantastic while she looked weird. I don't know how you
rewind cosmetic surgery, but somebody managed to do it with

(45:37):
her where you look at her now and you're like, wow, Yes,
I hope she paid them twice what they charged because
she looks dynamite. Yeah, she was looking rough there for
a minute, and it's your money and it's your face,
so you should do what you want to with it,
And I don't think there's a personal live who doesn't
see themselves in the mirror at any age and go, well,
I don't really like that. If you really look like
I have one eyelid that's a little droopier than the

(45:58):
other one, you'd never really look at me and notice it.
But I'll notice it. No, I won't lie to you, Rob,
I priced out. I can't even do it. I was
gonna do some eyelid surgery. Bit did you actually pre No,
I'm kidding. No, See, it's gonna fix this, all right.
I got what I got, and I'm not necessarily somebody

(46:21):
and people like she'd age gracefully, and there's room for
that too. I got nothing but respect for people who
do that. I don't think you know. There's a person
I know, and I won't divulge their identity because you
would know who they were, and they're not famous. I'm
just saying that some people would know who they were.
Who confided to me, and she's a young person, okay,

(46:42):
or early mid thirties, confided to me that she did
not like her ankles. She thought she had cankles now
she very much does not, but she didn't like them.

Speaker 7 (46:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
We don't see ourselves as with other people see them.
This is not any revelation. She was going to have
thighs calf surgery. She was going to have calf surgery.
And she told me how much it was going to cost.
And I tried to be a I tried to be
a sympathetic voice. I said, you are insane if you

(47:16):
do this. When she told me how much it was
going to cost, it was like four grand a calf
or something. I don't know, Oh my god. And she's like,
I just think I have these cankles. And I go, okay, again,
I can't tell you what you look like because you
see with different eyes than everybody else. She had the
procedure done, looks exactly the same, and she spent eight
grand eight grand us And I'm like, well, I hope

(47:39):
you're happy. You know, your legs they should look how
you want. But I'm like, she like it. Does she
think it looks different? I don't think she does. I mean,
I didn't want to, like hector belabor the point, you know,
but I at least if you spend ten grand and
get a big set of bolt ons or something, you
can tell there's a difference. You know what I mean.
You're like, oh, those are huge boobs. Cool, yes, so,

(48:00):
but ten grand and you don't have anything of the
show for it. Your ankles look the same. That sucks alan.
The decline of strip clubs corresponds to the decline of
Nickelback and buck Cherry. Yeah, there is probably a direct correlation.

Speaker 8 (48:13):
Well, I played those, I played those, that animals song
I played three times a night in the Nudi bar
I work in for years.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Yeah, but what's that other band that does that lunkhead
kind of rock and roll? Oh? God, porn Star Dancing
who my Darkest Day, Darkest Days? They're all Canadian bands, right,
I don't know what they're doing in Canada where they
bring the riffs down here and then everybody gets moister
than an oyster. Those songs just stick in your head either.
Are just these I Got Bastards? Yes, big riffs, big boobs,

(48:42):
porn Star Yeah, bad Girlfriend, that's another. These are all
strip club song yeahright, was bad girlfriend? Crazy bitch?

Speaker 5 (48:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:51):
I like people who a video of people who walk
down the aisle the crazy bitch? Oh? I know, And
that's great because it's it's always exactly what.

Speaker 8 (48:58):
You would think, right, like they move the trail out
of the way so they could make space for people
to walk down the file.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
That's exactly what you would think. Theory of a Dead Man.
That's the band that does Bad Girlfriend. That's another Canadian band.
They just do dumb lunkhead riff, heavy strip club music
and people you couldn't well it works. You couldn't pick
any of these dudes out of a lineup. No, I
defy anybody to point out what one guy in the
band Theory of dead Man looks like. You might even

(49:23):
know the song, but you don't know who sings it.
But yeah, those bands, they crank out riffs and Chad
Kroeger can write the hell out of a song and
they laugh all the way to the bank. Yeah, so
good for them. I got a bit of poop news
and then I have to go to a break very quickie.

(49:43):
The old axiom about farts being funny apparently is not
true with jen Alpha kids, and who knows what accounts
for this, but uh, you know, for generations people have
said it doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, whatever,
farts equal funny. Yesterday, Too's was National bean Day Taco Tuesday,
and so immediately following today is National pass gas Day. Again.

(50:08):
I don't know who, what organization creates these, but whatever.
There's a TikTok video going around of this woman talking
to either her daughter or niece or nephew or something.
Sounds like a little kid that kids are just not
fart shamed anymore, that kids don't laugh in class, and
that the older woman is incredulous at this. So you're

(50:30):
saying that nobody laughs if you fart in class, Yeah, nobody.
It's normal. It's a normal bodily function. But but what
if it's stinky?

Speaker 5 (50:40):
I'll just say, excuse me.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
If we farted in class, we got made fun of.
So hard is the world healing? I'll tell you what
I have. I've gotten this anecdotally from my daughter in
the fourth grade. So like, if somebody farts, somebody laughs,
you say pardon me or excuse me. It's like it's
a normal thing, Like, oh my god, yeah, so what
accounts for that? It's just listen, you know, kids have

(51:05):
much bigger problems now than farts, right, Farts are a
celebration of life when you go to school now every
day realizing you might get murdered there I guess you
probably have a different perspective on life in general. But
I wonder why that is.

Speaker 8 (51:20):
I think people consider the tone, not the actual tone
of the fart, but the meaning behind the fart now
more than like before. But you know, if a fart
happened in class before, people were laughing. But now if
like if a kid's forcing a fart or does it
on purpose or purposely misses the cough, like, yeah, then
it's funny and I think people will laugh. But if

(51:40):
somebody just blows a fart by accident and tries to
like ignore it and didn't call attention to it, I
think people just don't care as much.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Maybe it's desensitizing because there's so much fart content. Maybe
I will laugh. You've seen the guess my fart meme? Yep?
I laugh every time every time, not because of the
actual far, just because of the coincidental guessing. They go, hey, babe,
guess my fart now. Rob and I are not guys

(52:06):
who fart around our respective partners. I'm not that guy.
I think they're hilarious in general. I'm not a farty person. No,
but my not to tell tales out of school. But
like my daughters, right, I have a nine year old now.
When my older daughter was little, it was like truckers
who had just finished a chili eating contest all the time,
and they didn't care. I was like, good for you. Yeah,

(52:28):
so maybe things are starting to turn.

Speaker 8 (52:30):
We always I mean, it's again, it's not a big
thing in my house because I won't do it about
my wife and kids. But like if they do it,
it's funny, like they'll laugh, you know what I mean,
Like I get grossed out, like I don't.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
I don't want. I don't want to hear my wife fart,
what I mean, So I just kind of don't. I
pretend that never happens.

Speaker 7 (52:49):
So high, like I.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Said, it's a celebration of life. You're alive, and you're
her body is working as it was intended.

Speaker 8 (53:03):
I just don't understand how someone could ever not find
that particular bodily function funny because we don't.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Laugh at niezes. We don't like no because it's coming
from a naughty.

Speaker 8 (53:14):
Place round And the sound is what's so funny, A
lot of sound out of a quarter inch speaker.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
A quarter inch speaker. The ln Cox Show on.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
One, so you trying to make up how uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
Gosh, crowds.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
It's weird, it's not right, it's not cool.

Speaker 6 (53:37):
And there's plenty more where that came from, back to
the Alan Cox Show on one.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Hundred point seven WMMS Oh Boy three, send me a text.

the keyword to make sure it is correct. Go. I

(55:07):
played the wrong one on Monday, and I had to
text people who were hitting the up and letting them

error on my part. So I have double checked to
make sure that it is correct. But five o'clock today,
tomorrow and Friday. Those trips to LA for you. Four

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Hey, Alan, I was listening to Tuesday's show and you
were talking about how over the break you still went
into work one day to go do something, and your
daughter asked you, Daddy, how come you're always working or whatever?

Speaker 1 (57:36):
She said, Well, when I heard.

Speaker 3 (57:38):
That question to me, she was saying, Daddy, you're never around.
How come you're never around?

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Alan?

Speaker 3 (57:45):
Go spend some time with your kid.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Man.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
You don't want her to grow up not hanging out
with you when you're old, do you. That's just my opinion.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Hate the show and the Captain the trail over when
you're coming home dad, I don't know when we get together.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Thing now.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
The whole point of my anecdote yesterday was nobody knows
when I'm around. This is what I was trying to say, Right,
how come you to go to work? I go, I
have to go to work in two weeks. I've been
in the whole time. That was my point, Not according
to that guy, job requires a lot of time, right,
a lot of I know it doesn't seem like it,
but a lot of time. You want to do it right,
you wanna be successful all the time. It is funny

(58:29):
my ex wife when my older kids were younger, we
were still married. She and she was doing it tongue
in cheek, but she was half kidding. Every time I'd
walk out the door, she go and the cats in
the caated in the city. I'm like, Okay, what do
you want from me? Yeah, this is what my job is.
This is what my career is. I think people honestly
believe you you like me making a lot of money
for you, because that's how I do it. They don't

(58:50):
just hand it to me. No, people truthfully believe that
there's like we just show up and talk. I know
they do, but that's we We We've tried to convince
them over the years. That's what it is, right or
back in the day, the ones that are the best, right,
there are a lot of shows that did do that
and they flopped immediately, and you know, you got four
hours of dead air to fill up. But yeah, so

(59:13):
cat's in the cradle. I get a little bit triggered
because my ex wife used to sing the cats sit
in the crowd like okay, you know, and she used
to do radio I go, you know what this is?
So no, it is not my daughter chastising me. I
was telling that to make the point that she didn't
know that I was around for two weeks. She's nine, man,

(59:33):
she got her own thing going, you know what I mean.
She's talking to her friends, playing Minecraft, drawing. She's an
independent person doing her own thing. And we laughed about it.
It wasn't even like it was a point of contention
or anything like that. But who did Cats in the Cradle?
Harry Chapin right, and then died young? Right? And then

(59:55):
the hell was the Ugly Ugly Kid Joe covered it?

Speaker 5 (59:58):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
I don't know why you're gonna pick this as all things. Yeah,
didn't the singer of that band have kind of like
a resurgence? Isn't he back with some people? The guy
had a wild His name's Whitfield Crane, the front man
for Ugly Kid Joe. Wasn't a guy with like a
blue blood kind of name. Wasn't Chris Tyler the program
director here at one point? Wasn't he a huge fan

(01:00:22):
of this band? No idea. I feel like he loved
this band. Okay, well they have their fans. Whitfield Crane
was with, h Yeah, I'll take songs that didn't need
to happen for five hundred hours.

Speaker 4 (01:00:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
No, he was like in some other metal bands further
down the line or something like that. You know, voice
our resident glam metal officionado and officionado is too light
of a word. Our own Corey Roddick right one of
his favorite glam bands all time as a band called
Pretty Boy Floyd yep and Ugly Kid Joe. Their name

(01:01:06):
was a spoof on that band's name. They called themselves
Ugly Kid Joe because there was another band called Pretty
Boy Floyd. Never knew that. Yeah, anyway, that guy saying, oh,
hang out with your daughter, hang on my daughter all
the time. Yeah. And by the way, when your kid
gets to a certain age and a lot of you
know this, they don't want to hang out with you. Nope,

(01:01:28):
they want to talk to their friends. They want to
do I'm fully aware. I've been through it twice before.
I'm fully aware. But yeah, I don't just show up
and start talking to you guys. I wish it'd be great,
but yeah, anyway, thank you for your whatever that was

(01:01:49):
concern consideration.

Speaker 8 (01:01:50):
I don't know, do you think all these fart jokes
write themselves. Do you think these scripts that we go
off of daily write themselves?

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Sir, listen, some there are people, I will say this,
there are people. There are fewer and fewer of them
left in this business. I'm sure there are people who
could do that. I'm just not one of them. I'm not.
Yeah right, I gotta have there's a structure to it,

(01:02:18):
and there's a thing, and I gotta, you know, put
things together.

Speaker 5 (01:02:21):
I have to.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
I can't just be like so anyway. That's what podcasts are. Now,
that's why there are no barriers to entry. All you
do is you buy a microphone, you buy a little
make sure you're throwing your phone whatever. That's why there's
four billion podcasts because everybody goes, oh, I could do that,
but listen. Then they go in, go listen to one
good luck exactly. You'll want to blow your head off.
You want to take an ice pick to your ears.
And that's a one hour show at best, once a

(01:02:43):
week a week. AnyWho, I don't want to get off track, Rob,
Now you might have noticed this happened. As we were
signing off last night, the Baltimore Ravens said goodbye to
John Harbaugh. Yeah, after eighteen seasons, thanks a lot Tyler
Loop Boy, bet Tyler Loup. He better get an edible

(01:03:04):
arrangement from Mike Tomlin, by the way, for saving his job,
because if it had gone the other way, Mike Tomlin
would have been the one fired in Pittsburgh. I guarantee thing.
So yes, after that, bring John Harbor to the Browns.
He spent eighteen years. Ravens was his first head coaching
gig right he was at where was he He was
at Western Michigan University coaching back in the day. He's

(01:03:27):
from Toledo. I think he grew up in ann Arbor
something like that. You know, he and Jim harbarre like,
of course I associate Jim Harbor with the Chicago Bears,
but a lot of other things, and they're like, we
grew up Browns fans. That's all you need. That little
quote that's making the rounds today in loco sports media.
That's all you need to get people salivating over the

(01:03:50):
it'll never happen, but over the notion that John Harball
would even entertain the thought of company to the Cleveland Browns.
He was in Baltimore for eighteen seasons. That's an eternity.
He was probably thinking about leaving on his own at
some point. See I could. He's got no problems. His
agent was like, as soon as they fired him, we

(01:04:10):
got seven other teams, because there's a lot of teams
that need head coaches. Yes, seven, He's got to be
at the top of that list. He's got a Super
Bowl ring.

Speaker 8 (01:04:16):
Well, they're saying Stefanski's already lined up, like the Giants
reached out to him.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Yeh, Giants are talking and want to talk to him
and Harball yep. So they really got their all. These
other teams got there picking the letter of guys who
are good coaches. I wouldn't be suppose I'm not going
to get something like that here. I would not be
surprised if you do.

Speaker 8 (01:04:33):
I would not be surprised if you if you see
a John Harbaugh come to Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Really absolutely, if that's the teams like a Swan song
or I mean, look, man, he could probably do another
twenty years in the league, right, These guys will go
long in the tooth. If he wants to how old
is he fifty something? Yeah, something like that. So I mean, look, man,
at the end of the day, that's the team he
rooted for growing up. He's sixty three, sixty three, all right,

(01:04:58):
So let's say he's got another t years of coaching
in him, right, why not do it with the team
you grew up rooting for. And if you can be
the guy that turns it around, if those guys can
guarantee him, right, like if Andrew Berry and Haslam and
those guys can say we're gonna get out of the
way and let you run football in this town. If
they say that in the end they show up with

(01:05:19):
the money. I don't see any reason in the world
that he wouldn't come here. There are people running odds
on where he'll go, because there are seven teams total
who need a head coach. The favorites for people who
know these things and like stacking up the odds Giants
and Dolphins, Brown's and Cardinals are at the very bottom
of that list. I would not be surprised. I think
absolutely he probably takes a meeting or his agent talk.

(01:05:42):
I'm sure there's already one schedule, do you think so? Absolutely? Yeah,
This stuff happens so fast, dude. Yeah, those guys were
on the phone with his agent the minute that got announced.
That's what his agent said. And what he keeps getting
paid by the Baltimore Ravens. Yeah, no matter where he goes.
How far into his deal was he does anybody talk
about that? But you know that. I don't know. But
I mean, he had a no cut, you know what

(01:06:04):
I mean.

Speaker 8 (01:06:04):
So they're gonna they're gonna pay him if it was
a year or two whatever, who cares. Now you're double dipping. Great,
good for him.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
He signed a three year extension this past March, all right,
so they're gonna pay him for two more years. Yeah, guarantee.
Oh my god, think about that. Seventeen million dollars a year.
So he's gonna make about thirty five million dollars for
not coaching for the Baltimore Ravens and oh, we're in
the wrong business. Plus on top of his new salary.

(01:06:31):
So he'll make thirty five million a year for two years.
Good for him, Yeah, man, for him, Of course him.
I gotta tell you, I questioned the Stefanski one a
little bit because you always started with the who are
you gonna get that's better. Yeah, right, but who's saying that?

Speaker 8 (01:06:49):
No, I'm just saying, like and gent me, I was
saying that, like, who are you going to get that's
out there that's going to be better than Stefanski?

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
What you mean who's willing to come to coach the
Cleveland just in general? Who like, who could you pull
from another team?

Speaker 8 (01:07:00):
If you get a defensive coordinator or an offensive coordinator somewhere,
who's going to be a better coach for your situation
than Stefanski is. If you're not going to make those changes,
then hardball becomes available and the answer is clear, Like,
I think he's a far better coach.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
Right, But what was Baltimore thinking? The guy has taken
them to the playoff? I don't know, super Bowl. I
never understand the thinking there when they finally cut the
courtA on somebody when they've yeah, I don't know, I
obviously don't. I have nothing to do with any of
that stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:07:32):
I do not know, and you don't. And again, you
don't see what's happening in the locker room or in
the back offices. You don't know if this was a
mutual thing, if he wanted out, like you don't know.
I mean, they can say what they want, but you
don't know what is actually happening.

Speaker 6 (01:07:44):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Also a lot of these situations, from what you can
glean anecdotally, is it has more to do with just
bringing a guy on. You might get a guy at
that level and he goes, I'd be willing to talk
to you guys, but you got to get rid of
you got to get rid of Andrew Berry or you
gotta do you know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (01:07:57):
Yeah, According to this, the Browns of scheduled first interview
with Harball. He'll be the first interview that the Browns
are gonna con take him to dinner. He'll talk about
how he grew up a Browns fan. They'll I bet
you they come to the Marble room.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
That'll be it. Say what's up, Come on over, sit down,
we'll talk and you can get the check. John Harball. Yeah,
he's seventeen million dollar man.

Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Ah, Alan, trying to get my thirteen year old daughter
to tell me about her day is like pulling Rob's
wisdom teeth. Yeah. Well, but that's part of what it
is too. You know, you only get you get about
a decade with your kid, and you know, and there's

(01:08:43):
nothing wrong with that. By the way, that means that
you've hopefully set them up for success, to be properly socialized,
and that they feel comfortable doing that kind of stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:08:52):
You get more, I mean, it's you get a decade
of you being first, right, But you'll always have like
them the first call if something goes wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
There's always that, Like you know, you're always it. Just
the relationship changes a little bit because life changes, right,
So you're always gonna have them cool.

Speaker 8 (01:09:10):
Like I kind of love where I'm at right now
with my daughters. Like people always say, what's your favorite stage, dude?
Oh god, damn, what's your favorite stage? Right when they're infants?
It was the infant stage. When they grow into toddlers,
It's so I can't say that I had a favorite
one because I've just sort of adapted to what you're in.

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
Right. So I like where we're at right now because
they're independent, they're doing their own things, and like they
come to me, dad, this girl said this about me,
what should I do?

Speaker 8 (01:09:40):
Right, I'm like, well, I think you should tell her
to get bent, But that's just me, you know. And
then you have those real type of conversations with them
about real life stuff and it's pretty.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Neat, honey, I'll tell you what to do. Because when
I was a teenager, teenage girls wouldn't talk to me either,
So I'm not I don't know if I'm the guy
to come to from that. That is my deficit as
a parent. It always has been that I didn't have
one of those like cool fun I was just talking

(01:10:09):
to somebody over the break. As a matter of fact,
my wife was one of those people who would like
sneak out of her house and go to a party
and sneak back into the house. That was not me,
the furthest from anything. So I'm like, I'm really deficient
in that kind of stuff. I was real buttoned up
when I was younger. I'm like, I didn't have any

(01:10:30):
I didn't want to get in trouble. It was a
big thing with me. I didn't want to get into trouble.
I was just too afraid of my parents to do
anything like that.

Speaker 8 (01:10:37):
So if I got caught sneaking out, my dad would
have taken me outside and set me on fire. Like
there would have been no do that twice type of thing,
you know what I mean. So I was petrified of
doing stuff like that. Now, I did a lot of
stupid stuff. I still got my fair share of trouble,
but there were certain lines I wouldn't cross, so I
knew i'd be dead.

Speaker 10 (01:10:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:10:57):
My kids, well, yeah, they mean they come to me
for everything. But I don't have that desire to be
the cool dad. We just get along in that way
that we're cool. Yeah, it is fun when they become people.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Yep, the Allen Corr Show.

Speaker 5 (01:11:11):
On one call the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Girls, this is your opportunity right here, a nice boy,
let me.

Speaker 6 (01:11:21):
Tell you that two one six one double oh seven
or one eight three four eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
I wonder how I mentioned Kenny Loggins earlier, because we
were talking about celebrity male celebrities who had had some
extensive cosmetics. Kenny Rogers, Kenny Loggins, Johnny Resident from the
Goood Dolls, and also Kenny Loggins is seventy eight years
old today and they always call him the King of
the soundtracks because he had so many. So I wonder
how he got to be that guy, how he ended

(01:12:13):
up on uh. I think he did something for there
was an The unpteenth iteration of a star is born
in the seventies, it was Chris Christofferson and Barbara streisand
and I think Kenny Loggins did something for them. But
then in the eighties he exploded, right, did footloose? Did

(01:12:33):
this from top Gun? He's from the Pacific Northwest? And frankly,
both of those guys I mentioned, Messrs Rogers and Loggins.
You gotta give it up for a grown ass man
who still goes by Kenny, you know what I mean, Kenneth.
There was Johnny Carson, Johnny Depp, like if you're a

(01:12:55):
grown man and nothing wrong with it, Gibbs Billy GiB Billy,
Bob Thornton, if you watch that show Landman. Yeah, Kenny Loggins.
He's firmly entrenched in any given yacht rock soundtrack, right,
any playlist you got remember this is it Rob nineteen

(01:13:16):
seventy nine. It was the Michael McDonald in the mix
there theme song from the STRIDEX movie. Wouldn't it the
what the stride X movie?

Speaker 6 (01:13:25):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
This is ZiT? Wmms Rob on social media. I'll tell
you what you'd never know. This guy was under the weather,
thank you man. He's still coming out with machine gun fire. Wow,
this is ZiT? Yeah, no, what what a caddy shack?
Right in caddy shack and footloose and oh yeah, all

(01:13:46):
the soundtracks. He's got Emmys and Grammys and Golden Globes
and man, how about that he came from Van call
Loggins and Messina. It was him and Rick Messina and
then he I don't know what the hell happened to
Rick Mesina, but Kenny Loggins went all holy cow, that
guy started killing it. Jim Asina had been with a

(01:14:07):
couple of other bands and he hooked up with Kenneth Loggins.
Even Brian called to celebrate Kenny Loggin's birthday to footloose, chick.

Speaker 5 (01:14:17):
Out use oo e oohyd.

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Yeah, well done, Brian. And what the f does foot
loose mean? That's the only time, in the only context
of foot as far as I know, footloose wasn't like
a word that people used. And he called a song
that I only know what is the name of that song?
And movie? Huh, what the hell does footlose mean? Have

(01:14:48):
you ever used that word in light? No, nobody's like, well,
footloose and fancy free? Right, that's a phrase, okay, but
isn't it isn't two words? Footloose in the movie is
one word. It's a compound word, footloose and fancy free. Okay, Well,
as I'm talking about it, I remember that phrase. I don't,

(01:15:10):
but it's never a word I've ever used. I never
saw the movie Footloose until many years ago. I weren't
missing much thirteen when it came out. John Lifgo, a
lot of actors that would go on to big things.
Sarah Jessica Parker was in the late Chris Penn was
in it. And I had never seen it before. And

(01:15:33):
we were living in Cleveland but had gone back home
to Chicago to see some friends and we were at
their apartment. Were spending three or four days there, and
we're just kicking around the apartment and the TV's on
and we're having drinks, we're getting high whatever. We're just
dicking around and Footloose is on or it's coming on.
I go, oh, I've never seen Footloose before. And Kevin

(01:15:53):
Bacon's character in that movie moves from Chicago to this
tiny town and there's a John Lithgo is a pastor
or something and he outlaws dancing I don't know. And
I'm sitting there watching. I'm like, this movie is terribleful.
Now I was high, so I was like, maybe it's
because I'm high. No, but it's not like I watched

(01:16:16):
it again when I wasn't high, I didn't want it.
I was like, this sucks. I've never made it all
the way through to watch it. But it was a
huge movie. So again I just chalked it up to
right place, right time for that movie. And Kevin Bacon,
rob I will say this, he is delightful. I've had

(01:16:38):
Kevin Bacon on this show a couple of times over
the years. He's a very affable chap. It's one of
the few times I can recall that when their management
asked me not to bring something up, I said, okay,
and they asked me not to mention to Kevin Bacon
is a guy who lost a lot of money with
Bernie Madoff, and they asked me not to mention Bernie Madoff,

(01:17:04):
and I said, okay, I won't ask him about that.
Did it come up anyway? I feel like it did well,
but in a really roundabout way, and I did not
belabor the point. I think he alluded to something and
I acknowledged that I knew what he was talking about. Yeah,

(01:17:27):
but I was like, I don't care, you know what
I mean. I told him at the time, I go, yeah,
that's none of my business, man, I don't care. You know.
Make the guy feel like crap because he invested a
lot of money with somebody, a lot. You know, sure
it's not his fault, the fault. Yeah, Meridia Curius Edwick
for a long time showed his penis in movies way
too often though too much. Kevin Bacon penis well, hollow

(01:17:47):
Man Comes to Mind, which is a teraring movie, but
that's really Yeah, he's slowly coming down and you watch
like the blood Vessels coming back and there's a whole meter. Yeah,
he did it. Wild Things Ride, Wild Things where he's
in the pool with this Ricards and Nev Campbell. Yeah,
wild Things. Watched that scene once or twice. No, Kevin Bacon,
he only got He had a show on Amazon Prime

(01:18:09):
that I kind of liked, but they canceled it immediately.
Nobody watched it. A Bondsman, Yes, I watched it. I
liked it, but nobody liked it. And he had a
show called City on a Hill a few years ago
that was great. He was like a crooked cop in
the eighties in Boston, Boston, Boston. No, he's dynamite and stuff.
He had a Fox show called The following years ago.
Tremor's back in the day, yep, and he's still in

(01:18:30):
good shape, right, Kevin Bacon, guy's pushing seventy, still got
a good head of hair. The Outsiders, that one. I
never saw the Odds good movies. Read the book, never
saw the movie. It's a good movie. That's pony Boy,
right yeah yeah, missic River. Yeah, a lot of good
stuff from Kevin Bacon. Anyway, long story short, Kenny Loggins.

(01:18:55):
I came full circle back to Kenny Loggins. But I
think if I were Kenny, like your mom called. Your
mom was just in town for the holidays. Yeah, she
got noticed at Hopkins Airport by a TSA agent. Correct,
based on the story you told, uh, this TSA agent Actually,
much to her credit, you know, as much of a
hard time as people give the TSA, this woman was
really paying attention. Yes, now she's paying attention to the show.

(01:19:18):
And then you know inferred what was going on there.
So I got more do your mom? Oh yeah, go ahead, No,
I got more.

Speaker 8 (01:19:25):
Details from her about the incident, Like I didn't she
because she only texted me that it happened. She sent
me the screenshot and then like was aha, haa, she
actually was freaked out. Your mom was, yeah, because it
actually happened while she was in the line, So like
I assumed like she was through getting her stuff together
or whatever, and then this woman came over, right, she said,

(01:19:46):
they were still going through her stuff like it was
up on the you know, the screen or whatever, you know,
they run it through the.

Speaker 1 (01:19:51):
L framed photo of her son Rob.

Speaker 9 (01:19:53):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Well, my mom was like like what did I did
I bring something I shouldn't have brought on the plane
like excuse me, miss kind of thing while she was
still going through So it was like active where you
would expect TSA people to come over and talk to you. Yeah,
so she was like freaking out at first, and then
the first question was is your son on the radio?
My mom's like, oh crap, what did you do? Like, well,

(01:20:13):
did something happen? Is he loose in the airport right now?
He just dropped me off the PB out for it
might be outside. Did he hit someone?

Speaker 8 (01:20:20):
Like so yeah, she's so she was like yeah, it
was like it was freaking and then she's like then
I was obviously very proud and happy and whatever, and
she's like, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
For a minute, I was like, oh no, what what
did I do? Did I forget to take those gummies
out of my bag? Mm? But she knew that she
was no. But my point is your mom calls you
Robbie Robbie, Yeah, but nobody else calls you that. I
imagine family, and I have some family that calls me that.
But you have opted to not go by Robbie. Correct.
Did you ever go by Bob? Never know? Did you

(01:20:49):
ever go by Robert? Nope? You never went by Robert
and Twine. It is like, you know, you and your
wife are role playing, like you both show up at
the hotel bar, pretend you don't know each other.

Speaker 8 (01:20:59):
What I did think would be funny was if I
went by Burt Burgh Anthony right, because I mean, you've
got attorney a law, Robert.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
Why does Rob get to win? Why does anybody use
the backside of Burt? Gotcha?

Speaker 6 (01:21:11):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:21:12):
So I always thought that, like my name on Netflix
is Burke. Tried it out for a little while, see
if I liked it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
I don't. We were watching something and my daughter was
laughing at the name. It was a French name, and
I said, well, Gillome is French for William. So I said,
that's just the name William. And she goes, how did
Billy come from William? And I go, I don't know.
It's a great question. How did Alan come from? Allan? Well,
it had it had hard questions with answers. It had
to be from will like it would have had to

(01:21:38):
have been Willy first, right, William became Willie will I guess,
and Bill had to have come from that somehow. Yeah,
I don't know. By the way, devotion to accuracy, Kevin
Bacon not in The Outsider. It wasn't. People are telling
me what was the movie at the time, all of

(01:21:59):
those aged actors were auditioning for that. They considered him,
but he wasn't in hold On he was in one
of those movies like he was in a like that. Yeah,
I thought he was too when you said that, But
again I hadn't seen the movie, so I don't. I
don't know. But he auditioned for it along with every

(01:22:19):
other guy. Was he in diner? Maybe diner with Paul Riser.
Maybe that's what we're thinking of, is diner. I thought
he was in like one of those coming of age
kid movies too. It probably was. This could also be
that what is it when you the Mandela made effect?

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:22:36):
I mean he was in Animal House, Wasn't that? Okay?
Friday the thirteenth, Think it's an arrow through the throat.
He's dispatched by Jason Vorhees right there in the bunk.
I must have just screwed it up. I'm good job, Rob,
not afraid to admit it. All right, he is the
bad guy in one of the X Men movies. He

(01:22:56):
was Sebastian Shaw. That was twenty years ago or so.
Probably he was in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Yes, I
don't know was he says he was that his title
was taxi racer. Wait, a guy who erases taxis? Tax
a guy who erases tax No, that's called an accountant,
a tax eraser. He is an accountant. No, he was

(01:23:16):
racing taxis. Oh oh, a taxi racer. Taxi racer, taxi racer, gotcha.
I mean I only recently saw planes, Trains and Automobiles
for the first time myself, so I don't recall who
played the tax eraser. I get the ugly cries in
that movie. You do because of John Candy is soliloquy

(01:23:37):
at the end there.

Speaker 8 (01:23:37):
Oh yes, terrible Okay, and then especially with John Candy
being gone, I told you I was a wreck trying
to watch that documentary.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
He sucks. Christ Kevin Bacon was in that Toxic Avenger
reboot from a couple of years ago to No, he's
a talented dude very much. When you see him show
up in stuff, you a few good men. When you
see him show up in stuff, you're like, all right,
this could be I like this. At least it's not
going to be terrible. He might take care of some

(01:24:08):
things for you. But thank you, Brian for your tribute
to Kenneth Loggins.

Speaker 5 (01:24:16):
Check outs use ooie oohey.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
I mean, who really knows what the guy says. Anyway,
we're talking yesterday about the Australian pornographer. I'm gonna start
calling porn actresses pornographers. That's funnier to me. An Aussie
porn actress who was on a first date and she
said the vibe was right, so they took it back
to hers and she got a butt plug stuck in there.

(01:24:46):
And butt plugs very much in the news recently, rob
that the Pentagon reportedly sent a letter to a sex
shop in Toronto saying that they could no longer important
butt plugs from Bahrain. Okay, Bahrain butt plugs to me
sounds like a Welsh punk band or something. But the

(01:25:08):
Bahrain butt plugs. I don't know why that would draw
the interest of the Pentagon. But I was just in Toronto,
and if anybody had told me that there was a
place I could go. It's a very very diverse city
ethnically and every other way, so it comes as no shock.
But had I known this while I was up there,

(01:25:32):
I would have dipped in a package contained a letter
from the Pentagon that an item had been identified through
an X ray process or something like that. But this
sex shop there in Toronto said that they had been
getting They had apparently shipped some butt plugs to a

(01:25:55):
naval base, a US naval base in Bahrain, and that
this woman went viral because the owner of the store
said that she got to signed letters from the Department
of Defense. I guess it's the Department of War now
you know, the peacemakers Department of War, But that they
got letters saying that the Kingdom of Bahrain was very upset. Meanwhile,

(01:26:20):
this guy's just refreshing his email. Where are my butt? Plus? Yeah,
it says they've been delivered. Yeah, well, but this is
what you have to You know, there are cultural differences
that can really jam you up if you're a Euros
serviceman over there, but you're in a country where stuff
like that is illegal. And the one who runs the
shop is like, I didn't know where these were going.

(01:26:40):
These are people who were ordering these. How is it
on me? I didn't know that these were getting sent
to Bahrain. That's yeah, that's silly. Why would it matter. Yeah,
the store sells all manner of sex toys and erotic items,
and they ship all over the world, they said. Obviously

(01:27:02):
most of our customer base is in country. They're in Canada,
but they ship all over the world and as you
might suspect, a lot of shipments to military bases around
the world, and a US base in Bahrain had ordered
something and she got a couple of letters saying that
they had X rayed the packages there in customs in Bahrain,

(01:27:26):
and since they were identified as pornographic materials, she was
potentially going to get in trouble or something like that.
It's just a paper weight, yes, it's sparkly. Yeah, yes,
it's covered in sequence. And yes, you might further ask,
wouldn't that be extraordinarily painful? And yes, you could come

(01:27:48):
to the conclusion that it would be, But you don't
want a kink. Shame. Who are you to judge? How
I hold my papers to my desk? Yeah. She said
that the items in question were a butt plug and
a bullet vibrator that had been sent to US service people.
I bet you it was the vibrator that raised the flags.

(01:28:09):
The butt plug. They probably know whatever cares. They don't want.
They don't want anybody having pleasure. You think it got
knocked on in the package and everything was like dancing
across the Yeah, we know what he's in there and
his toothbrush. They're like, the thing's got a kickstand on.
Why does it have a shoulder strap?

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
So they have told us American soldiers who are stationed overseas,
they have said that there are certain websites that they
cannot order from if they're stationed in one of those countries.
You know, my nephew is in the Army and he's
stationed in Germany for five years. He doesn't have to
concern himself with things like that. They don't have those
kind of cultural differences. You probably get. Germany probably goes

(01:28:54):
so far the other way. They're like, when not to
order more butt plugs, vowels, the vibrators we ordered. Matt
Dillon was in the pool with Denise Richards in Wild Thing. Yeah,
devotion accurately.

Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
Wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Well, Kevin Bacon, Matt Dong is in that movie. Well,
Kevin Bacon was in the movie, but I think this
person's right. Matt Dillon was in the pool, the big
pool scene with Denise Richards and f Campbell. Matt Dillon
was the guy in the pool. Okay, did devotion to accuracy.
He did a good movie a few years ago called

(01:29:36):
Cop Car. I don't know how many people saw it.
It was like him and a kid and he's like
a crooked cop or something. That was real good, just
kind of an indie film. Kevin Bacon races Steve Martin
when he's trying to get to the airport. This person says,
I don't remember that. I mean I remember the scene,
I don't remember it being Kevin Bacon. Yeah, okay, well, yeah,

(01:30:02):
I am way too cooked on cold medications. Right now
to try to argue with someone about devotion to accuracies.
Uh huh, well, hey, hey, would you tell Rob it
was Matt Dylan's wiener and not Kevin Bacon's wiener. I
know it was Kevin Bacon's wiener. I know it was
in that movie. Well, thankfully I'm not doing that, but

(01:30:23):
I'm definitely like suit of fetted, just like meth sure
over the counter. Yeah, yeah, I gotta sign my name
saying I'm not going to turn it into jacked up.
It is award season, by the way, specifically AVN Award season.

(01:30:44):
It's that AVN flu that's going around rob Ala cock
show on your social media. No, it's porn award season.
It's gonna be surreal, by the way, if you're working
in porn, right, because I'm like mainstream film sets now,
they have intimacy coordinators, right, people who are making sure

(01:31:05):
that all of the principles involved in an erotic scene
are comfortable. They got their little you know, crotch pad
on or they're Mrking or do this whatever. In porn Jesus,
you know when they walk around backstage at the at
the AVN Awards with like a camera like BJ's are
like a handshake, Yeah, because everybody's worked together before. Everybody
has seen everybody else naked. Everybody has been inside the

(01:31:28):
other person or had them inside them. Hey, how are
you literally like guys walking around? Co Star just walks over,
drops to her knees, just backstage. Good to see you.

Speaker 7 (01:31:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
And how do you vote on the AVN Awards? You know,
like they have the OSCAR Academy people who are designated
as voters for the National Academy of Arts and Sciences
OSCAR voters. How do they do? They do it in
the same way for the AVNS the Porn Awards, I
would assume experts, right, Well, big, my I thought is,
you know, the big plaine for people who vote on

(01:32:02):
OSCAR films is that a lot of them never see
the movies, and so it seems counterintuitive, but it's so
political in general in Hollywood that they're like, Yeah, that's
the deep, dark secret is is people get screeners, but
they'll vote for movies that they actually haven't seen. For
the av Awards, I bet if you actually got to
the end of their movie, you didn't get their vote.

(01:32:25):
If you watch the whole movie, that's not good. They're
like I only got through twenty minutes of it because
that's all I needed. Yeah, no one's ever even made
it through twenty minutes of it. But the av Awards,
I think they do them out in Vegas very exciting.
They're just watching the screener movies five six minutes at
a time. It was, uh, that's great, But I mean

(01:32:50):
I loved your work in that film, and it's kind
of a hacky bit now, but it does happen where
there's girls up there crying because they won, like an
award for best gang Bang or whatever. Give those awards.

Speaker 11 (01:33:02):
I just want to say to all my teachers who
said I'd never amount to anything.

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
Look at me now. Yeah, well good for them. Listen,
you gotta be who doesn't want to be recognized for
exceptionalism in their craft.

Speaker 9 (01:33:18):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:19):
That one still feels weird, though, those acceptance speeches do
feel weird. Well, they're very surreal for those of us
who aren't in that line of work, but for people
who are in that line of work and trust and
believe it's work. You believe three years of dance classes
and I finally made it best DVDA. Yeah, uh, never
have a normal bowel movement again. But okay, listen, you

(01:33:40):
gotta suffer for your art. This is what I wanted
to do. You know, I think that stereotype. You know,
back in the day, it was like girls that were
in poorn You figure they were you know, somebody got
the hook into them and they were all jacked up.
There's a whole generation of girls are like I just
like banging on film. Good for you, I have a
fulfilled in life. I might be married whatever, And thank

(01:34:02):
you for your service. Yep, I get bulk rate enemies exqusy,
excussy a bar excusy. The Allen Carr Show on one

(01:34:22):
hundred seven.

Speaker 7 (01:34:26):
Anyone know what is happening?

Speaker 6 (01:34:29):
To help you make.

Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
Sense of this topsy turvy world, we humbly offer the follow.

Speaker 1 (01:34:34):
We combernakel Tumbleweed the cord.

Speaker 8 (01:34:38):
Nothing means anything anymore except the Allan cot Show.

Speaker 4 (01:34:50):
I got run.

Speaker 1 (01:34:53):
From. I'm bound all right there, and I got one
more silva.

Speaker 12 (01:35:06):
I'm catching, I am let, I'm catching midnight ride.

Speaker 1 (01:35:13):
You know, Will He's going to be ninety three in
the spring. He's not touring as much as he was before.
He's not playing guitar as much as he was before.
I don't think he's smoking as much weed as he
was before either, And but it'll be ninety three in
the spring. It'd be weird if you you know, the
Almand Brothers wrote and recorded Midnight Rider pretty quickly too,

(01:35:35):
Greg Alman and a roadie I think wrote it. It
would be weird if you write a song and it's
not a big hit, but other people do it and
make make it a hit, because like, you're not getting
you're not getting paid for a cover, right, it's not
being licensed. Somebody covers your song and it's a hit.
It's not like you get any money for it.

Speaker 8 (01:35:53):
I don't think, well, you'll probably make the writer's credits,
like you'll make money that way.

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
Yeah, okay, speaking of weed. By the way, Mike DeWine
apparently stunned a lot of people in the THC industry
when he banned THC beverages in Ohio. You know, they're
trying to Republican legislature and Columbus trying to claw back,

(01:36:21):
as they do in so many areas of American life,
trying to claw back what people say they want. And
I don't think anybody thought that he was going to
do that, And so there are a lot of companies
where a pretty good portion of their portfolio, by the way,
as far as revenue, things like that. Going products are
THC beverages, And you know, when they were talking about

(01:36:44):
regulating hemp gummies and things like that, they would always
hold up packages that look like kids candy that I understand.
They go, you know, we would want the packaging and
whatever to be less confusing, because you can absolutely understand why,
you know, people not paying attention where kids would be
getting into something. But I don't think anybody had been mentioning,

(01:37:05):
at least not anyone in his office have been talking
about reversing their position on HEMP beverages, the things that
you get at gas stations and things like that. Right,
But there are a lot of legit businesses that make
a good amount of money on that. I'm sure that
people who are in this business have way more information
on it than I would. But you know, the thing

(01:37:27):
that they always throw out there too, is they're like, well,
we're doing this because it's really not the same as alcohol.
And it's like, yeah, but that's why people voted for
this stuff. They want you to regulate it like alcohol.
They don't want you outright ban it, and so who
knows if this is another thing that'll go back and
forth as far as litigation goes. I don't know, because
there's a lot of money tied up in companies that

(01:37:48):
make these products, and so, you know, I don't know.
I don't have any vested interest. I don't have any
skin in that game. But there are a lot of
people who do, who run those kinds of companies. And
because you know, what a lot of people said would

(01:38:08):
happen has happened is that there's kind of a direct
correlation between beer sales declining and head beverages, you know,
consumption of that kind of going up. You know, that's why,
you know, alcohol and tobacco companies would spend so much
money lobbying against legalization of marijuana because there's a you know,

(01:38:31):
finite pool of money and they want the bulk of it.
And you can understand that. But and so as a result,
a lot of you know, breweries were diversifying into hemp beverages.
They're like, well, let's, you know, see if we can
make up the lost ground on the one end with
the other end. And so if that's cutting into what

(01:38:53):
they started to do too, who knows. I guess we'll
find out how strong that Hemp lobby is right up.
But my thought is always when they do stuff like that,
my thought is always, aside from the legality of it,
it's another instance of people in charge being entirely out
of touch with what people say, they want, what people

(01:39:15):
vote on, what they want. When they tell you what
they want and you want to claw back, you want
to change it, that is you not only showing your
hand big picture, but it's also you saying, well, they
didn't know what they want. Yeah they did, that's why
they voted for it. So it's being out of touch.
Not only were the electorate, because when did legalization of

(01:39:38):
medical marijuana fifteen twenty years ago, When did that start
to really gain traction? When old people started to vote
for it, that's what moves the needle. Well, it's because
that's when your grandmother wanted pot for her cataracts and
voted accordingly. That's when that tide started to turn.

Speaker 8 (01:39:55):
Well, yeah, because Mike, you know that age of woman
was at Woodstock, you know, so that's now that's where
people are like, oh, yeah, of course that's good for us.

Speaker 1 (01:40:06):
So who knows, But I know that There are a
lot of people who are surprised at this development there
with Mike Dwayne. I don't know if it's I have
to assume they mean surprise in that they got no
advanced notice on it. It can't be surprised, you know,
in the sense of where that guy's head usually is.
But I don't know. Elm. There are porn actresses who

(01:40:31):
are trying to lobby the film industry from removing their
work so their kids don't see it. Now would be weird,
you know. There are a lot of girls who get
out of the business then go on to have families. Yeah,
you don't ever want to see your mom no, oh no, no.

Speaker 5 (01:40:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
But also, I mean, you can't control everything your kids see, obviously,
but if your kid mmm, yeah, I guess, yeah, it
probably is no way around them. Do everything you possibly can, right,
that's from happening. Yeah, you'd have someone develop a very
specific filter for that so your kids wouldn't see it.

Speaker 8 (01:41:11):
But at a certain point, I think if you reach
a certain level of stardom in that there's no hiding it.
At some point it's going to get out, you know
what I mean that your family's gonna know.

Speaker 1 (01:41:22):
I also have to think that people who work in
pornography have a much broader view of sections of sex
and sexuality. So I would think that maybe they would
have much more frank conversations with their kids. Yeah, but

(01:41:42):
I mean, although I guess the sex conversation is different
than the conversation about what that guy was doing to
your mom on film. Correct, it's not just two people
but they're in love and then you came along your
seas and the birds and the bees. It's not the
conversation that we all got. It's oh, there's four guys
right on top of my mom and you know, yeah,

(01:42:05):
I don't know. They call that the the streisand effect. Right,
you want something wiped from the internet, that's just gonna
make more people go and find it once it's online,
extraordinarily difficult to get rid of that stuff. It might
be easier to remove, you know, if porn industry removes
clips like that, But you're not gonna be able to
do it. You could appeal to a particular website and go, hey,

(01:42:27):
could you take this down? A lot of roads is
the person in question I think that people are talking
about and I was never a fan of hers. A
lot of roads she was one of the biggest actresses
in the biz for a long time. She was like
the alpha in porn. I didn't dig her. There's a
lot of these porn actresses where their face they still
look like a little girl, and I an, I can't.

(01:42:49):
I ain't down with that. Which one? And that's what
she looked like to me. She just she's the one
in the memes of like making the face, and you know,
I think that's her. She's been memed a lot, but
she was a real, really big deal. I don't recognize her. Sure,
you don't. Rob every picture is clothed. That's probably why. Yeah, No,
I think she just does a podcast now. But she's

(01:43:11):
you know, I don't no, I don't. I don't recognize her.
Raised by a single mother in a suburb of Chicago
with an older sister who suffered from schizophrenia. There's your
recipe for porn. Yeah, most girl. I mean, I just
I don't know. Yeah, No, undeniably pretty prettier than she
should be for porn, right, Like you see some of

(01:43:33):
these women, you're like, my god, what are you doing
porn for? Well, she did prison, I mean she did time,
Oh did she? Yeah, Okay, So she's a teenager and
she's like, I got neglected because my sister had schizophrenia
and so my mom was paying mostly attention to her.
So when she's like fourteen or sixteen, she's hanging out
with the wrong dudes. She was an accomplice in several

(01:43:55):
burglaries with her boyfriend. So then she goes into Juvie,
gets a ged while she's in there, and comes out
and started doing porn. Started as a hostess at the
Tilted Kilt, one of the restaurants. Yeah, walking around. Started
doing porn at nineteen, that's what she said. So as

(01:44:17):
soon as she was uh, just about the time she
was legal and could do it, she got in there.
Over time, she was the most searched actress online in porn.
Huh yeah, good for her. But she's out now and
she's trying to scrub herself from the internet. I guess,

(01:44:38):
so it's not gonna happen. She had a kid in
twenty twenty two. She owns two houses, one in La
one at home in Chicago. All right, well, there you go.
I think that Mia Khalifa was trying to do the
same thing. Like she's like, I'm a jeweler now I
don't want to. Yeah, but she was also like in
porn for a summer, you know what I mean. But
she got some implants. There's like four videos of her

(01:45:00):
online and for three months she was doing porn and
they're not going anywhere. People still to this day drool
over that woman. That would be weird though, because she
was like Lebanese or something, and so you know, Mia Khalifa.
I think she got out of the biz. She probably
had plans to be in there a little bit longer,
but she was like getting death threats, you know from people.

(01:45:23):
That's a whole other level of concern. Rob's right about
Kevin Bacon's dong, right, donger? Where is grandfather's automobile? Donger?
Need the food? I got your back, Rob.

Speaker 13 (01:45:44):
Kevin Bacon definitely King's dong in that movie, and that
man's got a hog as a small child.

Speaker 1 (01:45:50):
I normally didn't make it that far in the movie.
Happens in about the last five ten minutes, and I
was more focused on the female unity, which there is
quite a thing. Have a good day, guys, right, thank you, sir.
Guy's got your back. And Kevin Bacon's front well, I
guess I'll have to watch Wild Things again. I saw
it precisely one time in the theater. Well, I saw

(01:46:12):
it more than once. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Denise Richards
didn't do it for me. The other one as Campbell Campbell,
I liked her. Bill Murray was in that movie. I
don't remember that. He was the lawyer in the movie
that I do not remember. Oh, maybe I'll go back
and watch it nineteen ninety eight. There you go. That

(01:46:37):
sounds about right. I saw that in the movies with
an ex girlfriend I remember here. Yeah, was she an
ex before that or she was an ex after that?
After that? So you didn't go see it with an
ex girlfriend. She is now an ex and that's now
yeh a twenty year x all Matt Lona Road story.
That is the first time ever I've heard about porn
being the mom's fault. True, right, you never hear mommy issues?

Speaker 5 (01:47:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:47:03):
Oh, Riley Reid, I think is the one who gets
memed a lot. I'm sorry I can't tell these people apart,
but I think Riley Reid, Yeah, she's the one who
gets memed. She's got her mouth pulp. But yeah, there
you go. That's another one. Who looks like she's like
seven years old. I don't care for that. Throws me
off Pornhub. By the way, hey, forget your Spotify rapped,
forget your iHeartRadio app End of year wrap up. Yeah,

(01:47:27):
I like the first few weeks of the new year
because that's when pornhub tells you what the trends are.
That's where pornhub goes. This is what you maniacs. We're
looking at this past year, and they always change a
little bit. It's interesting beyond just like the salacious nature

(01:47:49):
of it. It's interesting to see where, you know, people's
heads are. The most searched category, most viewed category on
pornhubs specifically last year was lesbian and they attribute that
to more and more women watching lesbian porn. You know,
the stereotype about women not liking porn. A lot of
straight women don't like porn. A lot do, but lesbian

(01:48:12):
porn LGBTQ content really really does better and better over
on porn Hub. We might have talked about this before
the end of the year, but they always kind of do.
We did, but it wasn't Pornhub. Remember there was like
because it was they went by state or something like
that yeah, something like that. Yeah, but porn hub is

(01:48:33):
kind of like the the eight hundred pound gorilla online. Ironically,
a lot of searches for eight hundred pound gorilla too.
There's a lot of AI porn now, so you can
just have it do whatever you want. Yeah, that's not
a banana one of those. The second most viewed category
on Pornhub in twenty twenty five was transgender. Wow. Yeah,

(01:48:55):
but go ahead and try to erase them, right, one
thirty two percent increase and searches for queer porn just
in general. And so you know, it's notable because of
people in charge trying to make life more difficult for

(01:49:15):
people in the LGBTQ community, but you're not going to
stop them from being represented in pornography. And sure a
lot of it is. You know, it's not sanitized, that's
not the right word. But it's kind of co opted
for straight people too, right. Trans porn is one of
those things where a lot of straight guys didn't realize

(01:49:36):
they liked until they watched it and they go, h,
I give my head around this. They said. One of
the biggest increases they saw was search for trans content
among boomers. You know, porn sites are just data sets.
I mean they know exactly who's looking at what and
when and what your demographic is. So these are just

(01:49:57):
you know, end of year them spitting out data sets.
Boomers rob getting into trans porn? Interesting, Yeah, femboy, really
that's another big Hey listen, it's hop searches. This is
these are the top searches. Wow. Yeah, let's take a

(01:50:22):
look at porn hops.

Speaker 9 (01:50:23):
End of here.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
Bemboy beg this year too, Boomers, did you storm the
beaches at Normandy?

Speaker 1 (01:50:30):
Here's some transgender content. It's not just for Taiwan anymore.
Femboys are everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
There's ladies with dongs taking the world by storm. Remember
how they raised the pole at Ewo Jima, Grandpa, look.

Speaker 1 (01:50:45):
At this pole raising You get it?

Speaker 5 (01:50:50):
You know what I am.

Speaker 1 (01:50:51):
We're just having some fun. So uh yeah, femboy is
number one on porn hub gay. Is it a separate
porn hub gay or you just search for gay porn.
I'm not asking you specific, I don't know asking the
royal you for people. I feel bad that I didn't.

(01:51:14):
I just kind of sat there for a second, like, well,
when I go to you porn gay, I mean gay
sounds like that lessn L bitch. Yeah, Sandler and Chris
Farley at the bull lifts up his glasses, the round glasses.
Uh huh, Schmid's gay. If you want beer and you
you're gay.

Speaker 7 (01:51:31):
You homo sexual?

Speaker 1 (01:51:33):
That guy is over there on pornhub gay.

Speaker 5 (01:51:37):
You're fairy.

Speaker 8 (01:51:38):
I'm guessing it's probably just a section right like you
would just click or is there a real That was
my question.

Speaker 1 (01:51:44):
Did we get blocked if I tried to look? Oh,
I don't know, trust me, gay is in gayze? I
want some gay gay? It's gonna be. Was it porn
hub pornhub gay? The only reason I ask is because
they capitalize the P and the G. So I'm like,
is that a completely different situation pornhubgay dot com? I
don't know half nearly half of the states in the

(01:52:08):
US block pornhub because of the age verification laws. Yeah,
that worked, but it takes you to porn hub. So
if you type in pornhub gay, you just takes you
to porn hub guys, and then it's backslash gay porn. Hey, listen,
the US, we don't lead much anymore other than extra
judicial detentions, but we are the top country in Pornhub

(01:52:32):
traffic far and away to the United States. So we're
number one only in porn, but the top twenty countries
account for seventy eight percent of the daily traffic, and
the United States is way in front. Mexico, the Philippines, Brathilil,
Chile number twenty out of the top twenty countries.

Speaker 8 (01:52:55):
So how how far down the list do you get
on the year and review before you see like eight porn?

Speaker 1 (01:53:01):
How far down the list? Yeah? Because the first three
you said was it was lesbian, yeah, queer, and then uh,
transgender and femboy they boy top three.

Speaker 8 (01:53:11):
Yeah, So I wonder where, like how far before you
get to like doggie or you know what, I like,
something that would be searched on a straight porn site.

Speaker 1 (01:53:19):
I mean anal is in there, yeah, but I mean
what that what does that mean next? Any of them?
I know, everybody's got one of those top trends milf
that's not going away, no role play, cuckold Jeff, there's
another one, uh femboys. And they say they're seeing an
uptick in s f W content, which is usually just

(01:53:43):
like ASMR videos, you know, yeah, yeah, put it in there.
That kind of stuff. That's the spot ass mr is
what we call it around here. Uh So there you go. Listen.
If you are a regular porn hub user, you know
what you like and they are. Maybe you are partly
responsible for these trends. Maybe you are really into cuckolding.

(01:54:08):
Maybe you want that chair in the corn while your
lady gets railed. I gotta take a break here. We'll

here on the Buzzer on Saturday nights. We've been on
a hiatus for a couple of weeks because of a
holiday obviously, but we will return triumphantly to Saturday Night,

(01:56:07):
Me and Corey Rodick and Pat Butler. It's called two
Hours to midnight, and I don't think that there will
be any scheduling conflicts this Saturday night. I guess I
should double check that. Sometimes a Calves game will push
us a little bit past ten o'clock. What does Saturday
night look like. It's an afternoon game perfect timber Wolves
in town. Now the Calves are playing the Timberwolves in

(01:56:28):
Minneapolis tomorrow night. So back to back games here and there.
Eight o'clock tip off Tomorrow night on MMS seven thirty
pre game, but two hours to midnight. Saturday Night starts
straight up ten o'clock, two hours of nothing but heavy
metal week to week. Corey and Pat and I put
our heads together and we all throw in a handful
of songs that we want to play for you guys,

(01:56:49):
and then I lay them out. You had a lot
of local metal in there as well. Rob, I'm gonna
be playing I'm glad you asked. I'm going to be
playing Decapitated. I'm going to be playing new local metal
from Antietam Creek. That's Doctor f from mushroom Head. I'm
going to be playing another great local band called The

(01:57:11):
Behest of Serpents. We've played them before. I'm gonna be
playing some Nordic metal rob from hammer King. How's that
scratch you? I'm gonna be playing a band called ax Drager.
You know what their song is, dragging as it's called
ax Drager. Yes, I love bands. We're playing two bands,

(01:57:32):
by the way, on Saturday Night where the song is
the name of their band. We're playing ax Dragger by
ax Dragger and we're playing Destruction by Destruction. You gotta
think they worked backwards with ax Dragger, right poemarly dragon
ass as you say, Ax, here's ax Dragger. Yeah, that's

(01:57:57):
all you get. You're welcome a band on a Steubenville
called Plague Wielder and play them too, a bunch of throwbacks,
play some Geezer and Anthrax and you know whatever. Anyway,
if you're in the metal Saturday night, join us, won't you?
For two hours to midnight? A few minutes away. I'll
have that next keyword for you straight at five o'clock

(01:58:17):
today Tomorrow, Friday, last three chances. I think that's it
because the show is next weekend out in La our
Alter Ego Festival. It was canceled last year because of
those Pasadena Malibu wildfires. We had a whole line up
ready to go, right, Yep. It's like glass animals and
you know, and every year I say I'm gonna go,
and this year is no different. Uh, but I don't

(01:58:40):
know that I'm gonna go next weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:58:42):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:58:42):
Amy asked. She's like, do you still want those tickets? Yeah?
She asked me too, And I was like, you know,
I'm maybe, I don't know, Maybe I'd be a game
time decision. I bailed the Saturday morning. You can release mine.
I asked again, Hey, can we come out and do
anything crickets? Well, yeah, I mean that was a fun thought.

(01:59:03):
But I mean the only people that they have there
as far as talent goes that are on site are
like local LA jocks, which I understand, but it would
be fun to like help them out. There's seven people
left that work in this freaking company. Why wouldn't you
send the people you have to talk about the shows
that you put on, especially if we want to be there.
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, what better publicity could you

(01:59:26):
get for the shows than to have the people that
want to be there be there. I mean, Jesus, it's
like it's like them trying to charge us for the
iHeartRadio Plus Platinum Gold subscription. What the hell is called?

Speaker 7 (01:59:38):
Yah?

Speaker 1 (01:59:39):
Charge me for it? I'm like, dude, I work here.
Give it to me and I'll talk about how good
it is. Yeah, yeah, charge me. I wouldn't. I wouldn't
pay for that subscription service with a gun in my mouth. Well,
let's hope it doesn't come to that. You know, we
get more emails all the time. Hey, this is coming
down from on top. Well, as long as it's yes,
you gotta get a gun in your mouth, As long

(01:59:59):
as it's signed, guaranteed human, we're all good. Yes, did
you put that in your signature yet? I did? Did you?

Speaker 3 (02:00:05):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:00:06):
You're a good soldier. Well it's not going to change
my life. You didn't do it? No, God, No, I
deleted my signature altogether. Why really? Yeah? Your email signature?
How do you sign it? Rob? If you're gett an
email from me, you know it's from me guaranteed. Well yeah, no,
my email address is alanadlancoxshow dot com, so they know

(02:00:27):
who it is. But I still feel like I need
to have an email signature. We do. We get and
I don't know if other companies work this way, but
you get they tell you what they want your email
signature to say. And now that we're on this guaranteed
human thing, to let the audience and let advertisers and
everybody else know that in an age of being a

(02:00:49):
wash in AI, you know, we're getting to the point
where everything you see now you have to take an
extra step so that you don't get fooled. Whether it's
a news story, you can kind of still tell that
slot videos are AI, but they're getting better and better.
Of course, there's a lot of videos. You look, I
see people post them all the time. I can you
believe this? And I just go, that's AI. No, yes

(02:01:12):
it is, it's AI. And so this company is you
hear it in the sweepers on the air, guaranteed human
meaning that we are people, we're not robots. And they
said we would like this to be part of everyone's
email signature, very last line. And so yes, rob I

(02:01:32):
added guaranteed human to my email. Good job, because it's
no skin off my ass. It's not going to change
my life, you know, Like I said, you're you're a
good soldier man. Well, I'm just I'm trying to they
leave me alone here, Yes, they really do. And I am.

(02:01:54):
I am appreciative of that. Nobody's breathing down my throat.
I kind of live in as much of them.

Speaker 6 (02:02:03):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:02:03):
It can go very much the other way where I
you know, I got to poke my head up every
so often or people forget that I'm over here. But
that's fine. So if they say, hey, put guaranteed human
in an email address and go, okay, that's fine, I'm
sure either. I'm happy to help put good because my

(02:02:25):
thought is it's not gonna do anything. What's he gonna do.
You're gonna read my email and the bomb and go, oh,
thank god, this guy's a human exactly well, and that's
why I don't want to do it. I know, I understand,
but yes, I added that to my email signature. If

(02:02:46):
you listen to us on the aforementioned iHeartRadio app and
you do it from out of state, tell me where
Christine listens in Las Vegas. Justin is in Honolulu, Brennan
is in Nashville. Law of listeners in West Virginia, by
the way, the Mountaineer state beautiful part of the country.
Pam is in Huntington, West Virginia. Wade is in Weirton,

(02:03:09):
Zach is in Berkeley Springs. West Virginia, very much like Ohio,
are states that are kind of shorthand for punchlines. But
if you've ever been to West Virginia, you know Wheeling
is right across the Ohio River. You know, I spent
more than my share a time in West Virginia when

(02:03:31):
I was on in Pittsburgh. My girlfriend at the time
was a cheerleader for Pitt, so it'd be a WVU
in Morgantown, for they have this the backyard brawl when
pitt would play the Mountaineers. My buddy Larry Fitzgerald was
still playing for the pitt football team. West Virginia though
a beautiful part of the country, and you know they

(02:03:54):
the reason that West Virginia is a state is because
they didn't want to be part of the slavery in
the South in Virginia, which is why it's weird when
you're in I mean, I know, nobody knows history anymore,
but you see people in West Virginia flying Confederate flags.
They're like, your state literally exists because people were against

(02:04:15):
the Confederacy. But proud coal mining country too, right where
companies would come in completely strip the land of resources.
Sound familiar and then leave. And so everybody makes fun
of West Virginia. But those are communities that have dealt
with generations of economic hardship because of that. But it's

(02:04:39):
a beautiful part of the country in West Virginia, and
we have a lot of people who listen there in
that state. We also have bureau chiefs in Juno, Alaska.
I saw that they have seven feet of snow. Oh God.
Now in your brain you go, well, yeah, Alaska. But
weather is so wonky everywhere now that I'm like, hey,

(02:05:01):
it could be eighty in Alaska right now, I have
no idea. They have gotten eighty two inches of snow
in a very short period of time, and they got
more weather coming. So Juno Alaska literally like there are
guys who are harbor masters, you know, the guys that
run the boating harbors, and they're having a hard time
keeping the boats afloat because everything is frozen over or

(02:05:22):
snowed over, and there's like, you know, boats that aren't upright.
They've gotten a lot, a lot, a lot of snow
there in a really short period of time in Juno, Alaska.
Now if you live there, if you visited, I've never been,
but I have friends who have visited, a couple friends
actually who are from there. But I would imagine that

(02:05:47):
if you're a native there, you probably pride yourself on
your ability to endure that kind of weather. But with this,
you know you can't go anywhere. But then you do
get those oil money dividends, Rob, I assume we'll be
getting those from Venezuela too. AnyWho, I've got a trip

Speaker 1 (02:06:43):
That's fly to two hundred two hundred. Where's broke my
heart of Walgreens?

Speaker 5 (02:06:53):
And I cried all the way to Seers. I tell
you you and heard this patch in your twenty years.

Speaker 9 (02:07:00):
I'll just lack commute to kick me right between my
ears when she broke my heart and walbreens and I
cried all the way to see hers. There was time when.

Speaker 3 (02:07:12):
I believe that she belonged to me. She told me
that I was all.

Speaker 6 (02:07:17):
It was.

Speaker 1 (02:07:19):
Ellen. Would Rob consider signing his emails Bert? If I
called myself Bert, sure I would, says, you don't want
to pivot to that. I don't think yet. I got
a good thing going with Rob right.

Speaker 5 (02:07:35):
Now we were alone.

Speaker 1 (02:07:39):
Well, I'll tell you what's a real bummer. I heard
from another one of our bureau chiefs as well. The
owners of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. You know, they used
to be a two newspaper city. I don't know if
the Trip is still around. I don't know if the
Tribune Review is still around, but the Pittsburgh Post Gazette
announced that they will close the paper after two hundred

(02:08:01):
and forty years the print and digital operations of the paper.
Imagine that Post Gazette there in Pittsburgh. That was the
newspaper that I read when I lived there. They had
a bunch of union issues. I guess a while ago,
but they have seven million page views on the website.

(02:08:23):
The newspaper now prints twice a week, but they're closing
the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, and I think the Pittsburgh City
papers going away as well, which is like the Cleveland Scene.
You know, most cities have like a free publication. Pittsburgh
City Paper that was the one that would kind of
tell you, you know, you go to the back and
they'd have like, you know, glory whole advertisements. Yeah, stuff

(02:08:45):
like that. They called them alt weeklies. I don't think
Cleveland Scene is printed anymore though, is it. Maybe it
still is, and it's primarily an online property. But the
Post Gazette going away. It's crazy. It's weird. When I

(02:09:06):
go home, you know, it used to be the Sunday Tribune,
Chicago Tribune. Would you know, it'd be like two feet
high like old Sunday papers were. And now the Sunday
paper when I go home, Tribune is like it's like
a newsweek magazine. It's crazy.

Speaker 8 (02:09:26):
What's the I'm gonna feel stupid even asking this question,
but what is the newspaper for Cleveland?

Speaker 1 (02:09:34):
The Plane Dealer? I don't read the newspaper. Ever, everything
is online. So the plane Dealer is the is there
more than one? Cleveland dot com is their website. But
the Cleveland Plane Dealer it's still in print.

Speaker 3 (02:09:44):
It is.

Speaker 8 (02:09:45):
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I don't I've been here three years.
I don't know that I've even seen a newspaper.

Speaker 1 (02:09:50):
If you go to like a yeah, a gas station
or an Veni store, there'll be racks of newspapers.

Speaker 8 (02:09:55):
I know where I would get it. I just I
never have looked. It's been so long since I've sat
down with a physical newspaper.

Speaker 1 (02:10:01):
Yeah, I mean, I think the Ilaria Chronicle is still
in print. I mean there are regional newspapers. I mean,
against all prevailing headwinds, somehow they're managing to do it.

Speaker 8 (02:10:16):
The last time I think I read a newspaper my
hometown in Ludlow, Massachusetts, there was a paper called the
Register Print Weekly. There was an article in it that
like my wife's mother saved for me years ago, and
I remember reading the Register on the can. I was
sitting in the bathroom reading the physical paper, and I
was like, oh, you know, maybe I'll start getting the

(02:10:37):
paper again.

Speaker 1 (02:10:37):
I like this. I like having a paper in my hands,
never again, never going to do that again. Well it's
weird though, how some got a print and some others.
You know, I like the I think, just thinking of Ohio,
I think the Toledo Blade is still in print and
the Plaindaaler, and you know, obviously they're vastly diminished. I mean,
people are well aware of that. It's been that's been

(02:10:59):
the case for a long time. But the Post Gazette
going away. The reason I played that dumb little song
there that broke my heart Walgreens and crowded all the
way the sears is because you might have also noticed
a lot of retail pharmacy places being shuttered as well.
Right the entire Rite Aid chain went away. CBS, I

(02:11:23):
think is going to end up being kind of the
eight hundred pound gorilla there. They've done some things along
the way that have ensured that they're a little bit
healthier in some other places. Walgreens, which I grew up
going to because they were based in Chicago. They've tried
a bunch of things as well, with various degrees of success.
But what a lot of cities are looking at now is, hey,

(02:11:43):
we've got all of these closed retail areas. Could we
do something else with them. San Francisco in particular. I
know a couple of other cities are like, could we
convert closed drug stores to low cost housing? Could we
do that?

Speaker 6 (02:12:02):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:12:02):
I would think you can do anything you want to
do if there's the political will and the funding to
do it. But imagine, you know the Walgreens used to
go until you walk by and you're like, oh, that's
where I live. Now, I think, not only this, should
they do that. They should keep all of the old signage.
So you go, where do you live? I live at
the old Walgreens? Yep? How will I be able to

(02:12:24):
find it?

Speaker 6 (02:12:24):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:12:24):
The sign is still there. You know a lot of
times I pulled the sign down and it's got the
sunburn on it. You know, you can still see the
outline even when they take the sign down. That'll be fun.

Speaker 8 (02:12:36):
Yeah, CBS was smart because they put in like those
minute clinics and did all that kind of stuff, Like
they made it more of a like a whole type
of store.

Speaker 5 (02:12:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:12:50):
And on the Atlanta Atlanta will no longer have a paper.
Will be the largest metro area in the United States
to not have a printed paper. Is that true?

Speaker 9 (02:12:57):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:12:58):
The Atlanta Journal Constitution prints their final newspaper, shifting to
all digital after one hundred and fifty seven years. That's tough, boy,
it's a tough go because if you know anything about
the people of Atlanta, Rob, they love their news, and
they don't they love it in print form. They sure

(02:13:19):
do you want to know? You know, you flip open
the AGC and you want to see where outcast is
doing a local show that weekend. That's where you're gonna
find it. Yeah, yeah, well, uh yeah, it sucks. But
I had not heard whoever sent me that, thank I
had not heard about the Post Gazette going away. That's

(02:13:42):
crazy or maybe not. What the hell? I don't know. See,
that's why we have never done rob a print version
of this show. Years ago, they came to me and
they said, hey, we would really like to fill the
news stands in and around northeast Ohio where they transcribed
version every day of your broadcast. And I said, I

(02:14:03):
feel like something is going to get lost in translation.
I feel like reading the show. I'm like, you know
how just listening to the show is barely funny. Imagine
reading it. That's really We could just share our scripts.
We could but that is proprietary information. Rop Oh right,

(02:14:24):
that's why every day I stamp yours with for your
eyes only? Is that what that says? Yes? Huh, that's right.
You couldn't tell what it said. No, what did you
think FYEO was? I didn't know. Oh you thought it
was how Jess spelled oreo speedwagon ah oreo oreo oreo speedwagon.

Speaker 5 (02:14:49):
Yum.

Speaker 1 (02:14:51):
Sounds like a delicious dessert or does that a local
restaurant would put together and then subsequently get sued for
copyright infringement or whatever. No, but I said, I don't know.
And everybody's looking for new and creative ways to promote things.
I don't think that a transcript of this show is
really the way to go. I said, let's just throw

(02:15:15):
it up on YouTube and let a few hundred people
vomit themselves to sleep every afternoon, And by golly, that's
what we did, and I think the results speak for
themselves quite frankly. The Ellen Cork Show on one hundred.

Speaker 4 (02:15:36):
News are just admitting that you were a giant failure.

Speaker 1 (02:15:41):
Last year, your failure.

Speaker 4 (02:15:46):
Fortunately you're among friends here at Failure Central Show on
one hundred point seven WMMS.

Speaker 5 (02:16:08):
Crying crying.

Speaker 12 (02:16:13):
Myself.

Speaker 1 (02:16:14):
I don't even know why anymore. Somebody who says yes,
just they stuck in my now it's called inside of

(02:16:40):
me that flash I was a god. But I'm still
trying to get the Dream Leaders to come to Ohio.
I think they dropped some new stuff before the end
of the year. But Jake and Lizzard amazing. But they
most do shows in and around Brooklyn, or at least

(02:17:01):
the Five Boroughs. Love to get them out here as
if you got to no avail. Hey, your Calves win
over the Pacers last night and God for that one
one sixteen. Now they will play the Minnesota Timberwolves back
to back in Minnesota tonight eight o'clock showing their seven
point thirty is going to be your pregame coverage. And

(02:17:23):
then they'll take Friday off and come back Saturday afternoon.
They'll host the Timberwolves over at the Rocket Arena for
a one o'clock tip off, so half past noon is
going to be your pregame action there, and then the
Jazz are in town and then the Calves will play
two games in Philly Wednesday and Friday against the Sixers.

(02:17:43):
It's doctor j yeah, yep. And then the Thunder will
be here and all coming to the culmination of the
regular season on April the twelfth, when the Cavs will
host Gilbert Arenas and the Washington and Wizards. I mentioned
earlier that today is the sixth anniversary of the death

(02:18:06):
of Neil Peart, drummer Fort Rush. It was not that
long It was not that long ago that Rob and
I were at that super secret rock hall thing with
Geddy Lee and Alex Lesson where they announced that they
were going to be going on tour, taking a German
drummer with him, a girl named Anika Nilis, who is phenomenal,
really really good. But because I mentioned this yesterday thinking

(02:18:29):
he was five years because I had forgotten that it's
twenty twenty six again, and so six years since he died. Boy,
and we've gone over it too, But it's well tread ground.
The tragedy, the triumphant tragedy in that guy's life. Right
his wife and his daughter both die I think within

(02:18:50):
months of each other, gets remarried, has another child, and
then he gets diagnosed with some terminal situations and goes away.
Subdivision is easily one of my top three Rush songs.
Oh for sure, Love it, and I feel like it's
a song that got short shrift around these parts for
a long time, and now we play it on the

(02:19:10):
regular and I couldn't be happier. Neil providing the spoken
word in the song. By the way, Subdivision, that's him
sounds like this rock. Subdivisions nailed it, nailed it, perfect
replication of what's going on there.

Speaker 8 (02:19:29):
I didn't realize until we were at that event that
he wrote all the lyrics. I thought they were all
kind of involved. I didn't realize he was it.

Speaker 1 (02:19:37):
He was their primary lyricist. Yeah, I did not realize that. Yep.
I don't think he wrote every line of every Rush song,
but he was the guy doing the lion the song. Yes,
of the lyrics, and then he would bring them to
the guys and they would build around it.

Speaker 3 (02:19:53):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (02:19:59):
You gotta wonder when they were doing the sessions for
that song, if he did multiple takes of that, or
if he just leaned up into the Subdivisions. All right, Neil,
we need you to come over here. Just write in
that mic right there, Just give me a Subdivisions. No,
I don't. I don't like that one. Let's try that again.

(02:20:20):
Subdivision Subdivisions. No, No, I put the sbastis in the
wrong salable. I don't like that one. Subdivisions, that's definitely
that's not the one. Nope, but I love subdivisions.

Speaker 8 (02:20:33):
Doesn't it feel like it was like a slate or
something like he put it on the beginning and they
were like, that's pretty cool, let's keep it.

Speaker 1 (02:20:39):
Yeah, possibly, I want to know the story in this
nineteen eighty two and one of the most popular songs,
and that was really when they were kind of fully
getting into their keyboard era, right, That's when they started
experimenting with all kinds of different things, which, by the

(02:21:00):
way that I mean some bands were more open to that.
Rush is a band that was always kind of very
creative in that way, kind of coming from the prog
rock thing, so not that much of a shift. Keyboards
are what broke up Van Halen. I mean, obviously a
lot of internal strife in that band too. By the
time they got to the early eighties, they'd really gone
through it. But the last straw was Eddie going I

(02:21:22):
want to play more keyboards, yeah, and David Lee Roth
being like, no, I want guitars and singing about naked
chicks and somebody had to win. Somebody had to win,
and of course it's going to be the namesake of
the band. It's like the other guys were going to
quit in protest. You're in a band with your brother.
So it wasn't exactly mutually assured destruction there in Van Halen.

(02:21:46):
And so, you know, Rush were guys that would go
off somewhere. They weren't always recording in Toronto. They'd go
to Quebec, or they'd go overseas, or they'd go you know,
somewhere and they would sequester themselves and write an album
and do the whole thing. Nineteen eighty two, that whole.

Speaker 8 (02:22:07):
Event was still pretty surreal, wouldn't it being there for that,
Like when you think back to what, like I've done
some cool stuff that was that was up there, It.

Speaker 1 (02:22:16):
Was pretty cool. Yeah, because we were sworn to secrecy.

Speaker 8 (02:22:21):
Yeah, like we knew for a week before they announced that,
and everybody, the people that were there thought that that
was like a it was just going to be a
Q and A with the guys.

Speaker 1 (02:22:30):
Oh you mean the announcement in it yourself? Yeah right, yes,
well but I have to think that you could probably
infer that that's what was going to happen. I don't
know many you heard that guy sitting next to us
where in the there was like cause it was I
think a lot of it was like fans that were invited. Yeah,
this Q and a thing, And you heard that one
guy sitting next to us grasp for a towel like

(02:22:52):
that dude finished when it's oh god, oh, his wildest
dreams had come true, and right in there, right when
they pretended to just then have the notion that they
would go on tour. I don't know, what, do you
think maybe we should do this next summer. That's exactly

(02:23:15):
what they got.

Speaker 5 (02:23:16):
I did.

Speaker 1 (02:23:16):
Yeah. I'm glad we weren't sitting any closer to them.
It was close enough. Oh oh oh so yeah, but
they're coming here right doing two shows? Wait, yeah, September?
Was it seventeenth and nineteenth or something like that. Yeah,
added two shows, and they're adding more cities, dip their
toe in the water and then determine where they want
to go from there, but basically doing two nights, at

(02:23:39):
least two nights every city. They're going to nineteenth too, Yeah,
seventeenth and nineteenth, three shows right or not here? Just
two here? Oh? Two here, Thursday and seven. I'm looking
at like different ticket things here. Yeah, so the seventeenth
and nineteenth. I hope I get over there. It's a
Thursday and a Saturday. Oh I won't miss that one.

(02:24:00):
Oh yeah, there's no way, no, no huh, all right,
what if what if it just didn't work out? What
if that time comes and you go, I can't get
over there? I would be really bummed out. Oh like,
I really really like I really want to see that show.
I'll tell you what bummed me out when I saw

(02:24:20):
it this morning. The Simpsons said goodbye to duff Man after,
did they? Yes, they're retiring duff Man for what purpose?
They're just making Well they explain it in the show,
right They duff Man is retired because duff Beer is like,
people won't respond to the spokesperson as much anymore, so

(02:24:45):
duff Man. So now at what Hank is area is
down to just doing three hundred voices?

Speaker 7 (02:24:50):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 1 (02:24:51):
The Doff Corporation retired the character well because he lost
up who and but there was another one he stopped doing.
I don't know, but I like when the stories are
The Simpsons kill off a legendary character, and then you're
like what and they're like, oh, the lady that played
the organ for Reverend Lovejoy. Okay, you got me, but

(02:25:13):
they didn't kill off. It's not another maud Flanders, you know. Yeah.
He explains to people in the show that all the
old forms of advertising are passe. Now kids can't even
sing the jingles, so duff Man is no longer needs
a little h two. Oh oh yeah, hey, duff Man,

(02:25:36):
Let's see how you like a sticker on your offense.
Duff Man can't read. Oh no, oh, it's down to two.

Speaker 10 (02:25:47):
And before revealing our results, former daff Man Larry Huffman
is here.

Speaker 1 (02:25:52):
To wish luck. I was told there would be morphine.
Oh yeahr Duffman, is that his name? You said if
I slept with you, I wouldn't have to touch the
drunk Man says a lot of things.

Speaker 3 (02:26:09):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:26:18):
This is when Barney is trying to be sober Barney
Gumble early seasons, Barney's trying to be sober, sitting in
most trying to keep it together. Wouldn't you know it?
Rob duff Man comes in, Who's ready to party?

Speaker 6 (02:26:31):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:26:32):
Wouldn't you know it? Wouldn't you know it? Are you
ready to jet?

Speaker 2 (02:26:43):
Doffs from that creates awareness.

Speaker 1 (02:26:51):
Of that, create awareness, creates awareness of Duff anyway, no
more duff Man over there. The Simpsons. I'm just by
the way. Recently getting my daughter, I've tried to steer
her back into the Simpsons, and I think my efforts
are beginning to bear fruit, because for the most part,

(02:27:13):
there are some shows, some live action shows. Were always
looking for, like a sitcom or something that she might dig,
especially over this break because she and I were both
off for two and a half weeks. But normally all
she wants to watch is like Bob's Burgers or Great
North or something like that. But when she was littler
but still old enough to kind of, you know, get

(02:27:33):
her moxie going, I was like, Oh, she watch the Simpsons.
So for a while a couple of years ago, that's
all we watched. I'm trying to steer her back into that.
That was our COVID show. Yeah, Simpsons watched every episode. Well,
because we as far as live action shows go, we
watched all of like Brooklyn nine nine we watched and
so we're clicking around, going, what is this show that
she might dig she wanted to watch the Office from

(02:27:56):
time to time. She didn't want anything to do with
Parks and rec We've been watching The Good I loved
that show. I forgot how I could not get into
that show. No, I don't like any of the characters.
Oh you don't. It sounds really nerdy. But I remember
when it was first run. I think Kristen Bell is
super cute. I love ted Danson. It's too bad Jess

(02:28:17):
isn't here today because I know she's got a big
boner for ted Danson. But when that show was first run,
I was like, I like everybody associated with it, Mike Shore,
who was one of the writers of the Office and
all that good people. I could not get into that show.
And then like, because I think it was only on
four or five seasons, which is no small thing, you know,

(02:28:38):
But towards the end it's clear they've like completely, they're
making it up as they go along, and that gets
really annoying. But I just I'm like, I don't care
about anybody on this show, but she likes it. I
liked it, could not get into the good place. It's
like Community. Yeah, I've talked about that before. Community is
like show I'm like, I should love this show. Oh

(02:29:00):
don't like it? Is that Chevy Chase documentary. You see
the trailer for that. I did Chevy Chase, who's famously
a prick. They were like, we couldn't get one person
from community to come and be a part of this documentary.
Not one of those people wanted to talk about chevy Chase.

Speaker 8 (02:29:15):
It's jarring how much people don't like him, isn't it Like,
but he's done it to himself.

Speaker 1 (02:29:19):
Well I know, but it's still like, it's pretty wild,
wild and it's gotta be a bummer because it doesn't.
I'm sure there's a part of his brain where he's like, oh,
people should still think I'm hilarious or whatever. But it
doesn't do anything to diminish the movies you did.

Speaker 6 (02:29:35):
Do that.

Speaker 1 (02:29:35):
People love people, you know, those Fletch movies are some
of my favorite movies of all time. I agree.

Speaker 8 (02:29:40):
I mean, he's a very, very funny man, there's no
question about it. But I guess it gets to a
point where is it worth it? I mean, if you're
that much of an a hole to everyone around you,
see you? Yeah, I'll watch the documentary. Oh I will too.

Speaker 1 (02:29:56):
Yeah, I don't know when it's on I think it's
on Netflix. What is it. I'm chevy Chase in you
on Chevy Chase and you're not yeah, which was his
sign on when he did Weekend Update. I think that one,
you know, because there's some clickbaity, you know, quotes before
they dropped the documentary and they get him to kind
of admit that it was a mistake to leave SNL
after one season. It couldn't seem like bad at the

(02:30:18):
time though, because he started doing movies right away. But yeah,
I don't know when that drops. But they were like, yeah,
we couldn't. We asked the entire cast of community, including
one Evett Nicole Brown, who is a graduate of the
University of Akron, and they were all like, I don't

(02:30:39):
want to be on camera talking about Chevy Chase. They
went to all, you know, Joel McHale and Danny Pooty
and what's his name, Childish Gambino, Dollald Glover. They're like, nope,
I mean that says everything. You gotta know, right, your
peers can't even sit down and talk talk about you.

Speaker 9 (02:30:58):
Rob.

Speaker 1 (02:30:58):
I tear me when I think of, of course, the
uh Alan Cox Show documentary, how it's going to be
so difficult to get people to come out and talk
about how it was easy.

Speaker 8 (02:31:10):
They already started. They started with me, what do you
think of Alan? I said, We've never ever ever spoken
off the air. I don't I don't know anything about him, Alan.

Speaker 1 (02:31:24):
What do you think about the paper on Peacock? I
watched two episodes of that and I bailed. I was like, rebook. Yeah,
they kept what's his name, they kept Oscar from the office,
and they have some connective tissue, and I get what
they're trying to do. They set it in Toledo, but
I'm like, no, it's not I'm not that desperate for
a sitcom, especially.

Speaker 8 (02:31:47):
With all the shows that are shot in that style,
Like we just talked about it yesterday with DMV and UH.

Speaker 1 (02:31:52):
Saint Dennis medical documentary shows. They're great, Like, I don't
see any reason to you know.

Speaker 13 (02:32:00):
Hey, Ellen and Rob, if our heart's gonna lean hard
into this guaranteed human thing, you know what you gotta
do at the WMMS studios. Before you even get in
the front door, there should be a security guard with
a live capture and asking you to to check every

(02:32:21):
picture that has a traffic light in it, just so
there's no.

Speaker 1 (02:32:26):
No mix ups. There are one hundred percent sure whoever
gets through that door is human. How sky is that guy?
He's gonna say, is that guy sedated? Is he okay? Yeah?
He definitely definitely high? Guys, you know what you should
do is I had this idea. I mean kind of
a funny bit. I get where he's going there. I
was like, bro, you okay, had this idea? Guys, get

(02:32:48):
ready to fall over hell? Was that idea again? I
was trying to explain to my daughter last night. I
mentioned at the top of the show. I haven't really
talked about today, but I came home and my wife
and child had purchased a puppy and she had recently
been She was still a little bit sedated because they
had fixed her right. We got her from animal rescue.
