Let's see here like, maybe maybe it's that, Maybe it's
the maybe it's that.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Maybe it's the concavity of the lens.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is that better? I don't know. I wish that we
could zoom in to a greater degree on these cameras
because they're too wide for my taste. But whatever, that's

(02:28):
You can find our YouTube channel if you want to
watch the show live. I still didn't get to see Tron,
you know, here at Stansbury talking about the Tron movie
all last week. I think he went to an advanced
screening of it. Now, I was all excited to see
it this past weekend, although I heard it flopped. People
aren't going to see it, and I'm not gonna say
(02:51):
I'm surprised. I mean, I really like those Tron movies.
But they dole them out like every fifteen years, and
so I still think it appeals like a narrow band
of people, right. I don't know that anybody got into
Tron on the second one. I think if you saw that,
you had a certain age to watch the first one,
(03:12):
and then you went along for the second one, which
again was twenty ten Tron legacy. I think Olivia Wilde
was in that, and Jeff Bridges has been the connective tissue,
thank God, through all of them.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And this new one looks really cool.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And of course I do take all my cinematic advice
from Dan Stansbury, so when I hear him, give it
the accolades. And so I was planning on seeing it
after the show on Friday Rob I had purchased a ticket,
but my car was in the shop. I had my
car at Conrads and so I'm ubering around Friday uber
(03:51):
to work here. That morning, I was talking about the
Jankye uber that I took in the guy who had
like the Hyundai Sonata who picked me up as like
his bump was falling off. So Friday after the show,
I was here getting some things done post show, and
at the end of the week things really kind of,
you know, pile up for me with respect to things
(04:12):
I have to get done on Friday. So I was
going to just Uber from here to the movie. And
by the time I got done, I left here probably
walked out of the studio probably a quarter to nine
on Friday night. Jesus Uber this. I don't know what
was going on with Uber. It the app just wasn't working.
App wasn't working, and so I'm like, okay, So I'm
(04:34):
standing out there on Euclid and I'm firing up the
Uber and it's just finding somebody and finding somebody and
finding somebody. I'm like, okay, well that's not going and
then he can't find me, or it keeps showing me
the map and then reverting to like something else or
crashing the app. I don't know what it was. And
so I'm like, look, it's Friday night in downtown in Cleveland,
(04:57):
all right.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That might sound like the punchline to a joke, but
with respect to Uber, it's not like there aren't going
to be any people driving around downtown, right. Things are
starting to get going around eight thirty nine o'clock in
downtown Cleveland, So there's going to be people driving around.
So I'm standing out there in euclid trying to get
an uber because I'm up against it, trying to go
to this movie. And then I go, well, maybe nobody's
(05:24):
on this side. So I walk through the building to
the Prospect side, which is one way, and I go,
I'll try to get an uber over here. Spin and
spin and spin super thing is not working. I'd never
had that happen before. Do you have Lyft? So then
I google Uber outage, wondering if people are talking about it,
you know, don't have lyft because at that point I'm like, okay,
(05:47):
what am I going to download Lift and then sign up?
And then I'm sure I have some old Lift account. Yeah,
but whatever, all my stuff's in Uber. So then I
go over to the Prospect side. Nothing nothing, nothing, nothing,
And I finally get an uber and I see the
guy pass me. Okay, he apparently doesn't know, you know,
(06:07):
there's some construction going on here on Prospect.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's like one way.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So if a guy doesn't clock you right away, like
he circles the block, that's fine. Whatever. Tick tick tick,
And I'm just going to this movie. And the guy
finally picks me up. Super chatty, which is fine, it's okay,
but I'm wiped. Man, It's Friday nights when to go
and watch this movie? And I'm in the uber and
I'm headed to the movie and I go, God, damn it,
(06:33):
I got my backpack I carry you know, I got
my backpack. I came to work. I'm leaving work. I
got my backpack. They're not gonna let me into a
movie with a backpack. And so I'm like, I can't
go to this movie. I got my backpack. I'm not
gonna leave it here. I was like, well, maybe I'll
leave it here, but I'm already in the uber. I'm like,
I want to see this movie, but it's not the
most important thing on the planet right now. I'm like,
(06:54):
They're never gonna let me in this movie with a backpack, right,
So I tell the guy I go, You say me,
I go home. So I I uh a movie ticket
that I paid for and didn't use. Uh And and
I was so busy yesterday and get a chance to
see this movie. So again, wow, wah. I'm not crying
about it. I'm just saying that I was looking forward
(07:16):
this weekend to seeing that movie.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You really couldn't get in a full weekend.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
No, I don't. I don't think so. I mean if
I walk into a movie with a full backpack over
my shoulder, they might look. I think they'd be like
bro inside me. I mean yeah, but I don't want
to be going through my bag either. I mean it's
so I was like, uh, this is not like it
hadn't even occurred to me. And then I was like, well,
I'll leave it here. I'm like, well no, because then
(07:41):
I got an uber back to work because I'm uber
and everywhere because my you know, I didn't get my
car till midday Saturday, and so, uh it was a
pain in the ass. So I went home, had some food,
sat down, watched the John Candy documentary. I started it Amazon. Yeah,
(08:03):
I like it a lot, but no tron for you boy,
and I still really want to see it. So I
don't know what to say. But I did read this
kind of flopping, which does not surprise me. But what
bums me out is that means it's not going to
be in the theaters for very long because bigger movies
always new movies coming. I never even got around to
see it in spinal Tap two. It was in theaters
for like forty five minutes and I never got around
(08:26):
to seeing it. And if a movie doesn't do well
if it opens wide, especially a movie like Spinal Tap two,
you want to talk about a narrow audience, you know,
they PLoP it over at the theater Lee for another
week and then it's gone, which is what happened there.
So Tron might not be long for this world. I
did try to watch The Naked Gun, the Liam Neeson one,
because that's streaming now.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Oh no, I seen it doesn't sound good. I'll go
back to it.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'll probably have to buy it again, because now when
you buy these movies are like you got thirty days
to watch it, but once you started, you got forty
eight hours.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Like okay, it's four bucks whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And I heard that it was really funny, and it
might be maybe I wasn't in the right mindset. It
was not scratching me where I itch, how much do
you get through about a half an hour? Oh boy?
And then I was like, eh, I mean, I just
I had other things to do.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
But I was like, ah, the only thing I was
worried about with that movie was we saw everything funny
in the preview. That's what I was thinking, and I'm
hoping that's not the case. Well, what worried me was,
oh my god, is the Naked Gun not funny to me?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Now? Because that movie came out when I was like
in high school. I'm pretty sure the Leslie Nielsen ones,
But have you seen him since I saw one? Not
like I always very thought, Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
I must kill Papshmir. I still laugh at that, you
know what I mean, whether you got to also wonder, like,
am I laughing at the nostalgia of it? Or do
I genuinely still find it funny because I'm thirty minutes
into this new Naked Gun, and I don't think it
(09:50):
has anything to do with with Leslie Nielsen not being
Liam Neeson's funny in those things. He's got great dry
sense of humor. Pamela Anderson still looks good, and you know,
so I'm getting all the jokes. I mean, it's low
hanging fruit with those kinds of movies. But I don't know.
I'll go back to it, I'll rent it again, I'll
finish it. But maybe it was me and I got
(10:11):
to watch that because I was like, man, this has
not hitting me where I wanted it to hit me.
Right now, Allan, all you really need from the Tron
movie is a soundtrack. Well, we're playing I was listening
to the Tron soundtrack last week, right, we're playing that
nine inch Nail song. That's a pretty good encapsulation of
that score and the soundtrack. But I really do want
to see that movie. It's just, you know, it might
(10:33):
be another one that I just end up watching streaming.
It's one that I want to see in Imax three D.
You know, that's a movie I would really like to
see in that. There's so many movies I'm surprised how
many movies now they released on Imax. You're like, this
did not have to be an Imax at all. This
could have been on a regular screen, would have been
perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But yeah, I was thwarted, Rob.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I was thwarted by a digital application and by my backpack.
But that's a me problem, none of them problem. Still time,
still time. The Ellen Cox Show.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
On one, of course, he stays.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Calm when someone steals his stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
From the company fridge. He needs that energy for when
he poops in their gas tank.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Allen Cox on one semms.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
On that subject, Aaron texted me from Akron, I'm so
glad you're on today. You're an island of reality in
an ocean of diarrhea. We just played them on two
hours to midnight on Saturday night, as a matter of fact,
ocean of diarrhea. Yeah. I guess I didn't realize because
(11:54):
I've had so many people hit me up. I don't
know how it escaped me that today was Columbus Day
or whatever we call it. Now. I know Trump's jerking
himself off because he said we're calling Columbus Day again
whatever whatever I call it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
But uh, and so I guess a lot of people
are off, is that? What's up?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's not a holiday though, is it.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's not a company holiday for this company. No, right,
it used to be. I think, Well that's what I
thought him, like, we take company holidays off, because why
wouldn't we? Who am I trying to impress? But a
lot of people are off today, So no, we're happy
to be here.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Ye.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I love when we catch crap for that too. Well,
while you guys off again, it's a company holiday. Yeah,
I just wouldn't take your days off. Well, I didn't
used to.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And then I'm like the only sucker on the air here,
and so I'm like, who am I trying to impress?
What am I doing? Everybody else is, you know, dicking
around and I'm in here entertaining Northeast Ohio. Rob, you
know what I mean. I mean, that's the game I'm in.
But yeah, if there's a company holiday, yeah I take
it off. You take it. Man. Naked Gun is free
(12:55):
on Paramount Plus. Maybe that's where I watched it. Maybe
I'm thinking I paid for it, but I didn't. I
So I know what I rented over the weekend because
then I after I watched the John Candy documentary, I
got into like a John Candy thing, but I wanted
to go the road Less traveled with him, and so
I rented JFK because he's in I mean that, everybody
(13:18):
is in JFK, the Oliver Stone film from the nineties
with Kevin Costner is the lead, and John Candy is
in that playing a more dramatic role, and so and
I had never seen the movie JFK Movies thirty plus
years old. Never seen that movie JFK. It's like three
hours long. Got to the John Candy part and stopped.
(13:43):
That was enough for me.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Yeah, it was a little see Little John Candy four
hours of watching a movie.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah yeah, so naked gun. You're right, that's not what
I paid for. But now they don't care. At the movies,
you would have had no issue with your backpack. Well,
it's good to know now. I guess for future reference
if I if I go straight from work. But I'm
like I it was just a rare confluence of events
that don't normally happen right tow my car, And so
(14:08):
I was kind of at the mercy. I just assumed
you walk in with a backpack, They're gonna be like,
what is happening? But maybe not. Brian in north Ridgeville
had an interesting thought. You were talking about the rapture
last week, Alan, and what if we have it all wrong?
What if the rapture actually happens every time, but only
(14:30):
three people are saved and the rest of us are
left behind. I mean, that isn't interesting with respect to
the rapture and the people who believe all evidence of
the contrary that it's gonna happen. Does it in the
original Good book, does it denote that thousands and thousands
(14:50):
of people were you know, they didn't have a real
good grasp on math back then. You know, they had
people living to nine hundred years old and things like that.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I think I said that last week or whatever.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Was Yeah, I think it was like, what if it's
just a couple of people, you wouldn't even notice they
were missing some shoes.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, you did say that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm like, well, certainly somebody would be around and notice
turn around and you know their cousin's clothes are piled up. Yeah,
well who knows. Yeah. And with respect to people who
are like actually kind of good hearted individuals, you know,
people most likely to succeed in a rapture, those are
the people that the rest of us would probably most
(15:31):
likely want to be assumed into the afterlife because they
can be insufferable. Boy. I mean, when you're surrounded by
that much incessant positivity, you know, these days they call
it toxic optimism ROP, which sounds like it sounds counterintuitive,
but I think they use it to refer to people
who are so upbeat that they almost walk around with
(15:52):
blinders on. I always say, there's no downside to optimism, right,
If you're wrong, at least you've got a good thought
on the thing, and if you're right, well, well done you.
But it's hard to stick with that. Alan, my backpack
ruined my life for years, so I totally understand signed
it Door the Explorer. Listen, I the Dora's backpack ruin
(16:15):
her life, ruin her life.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I never watched it when my older kids were younger.
They never got into Dora. So I know the broad
strokes of it. I know there's a swiper, no swiping
huge in my house? Was it Dora the Explorer backpack? Backpack? Again?
Like it was such a phenomenon that, like I know
all the references to them. I don't remember my kids
(16:39):
watching it. My ex wife sent me this photo. She goes,
this came up in my memories, you know, on Facebook
and things like that.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
A lot of people's.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Phones do this now too. Well, they'll they'll feed you
old photos that'll come up in your memories. And she
sent me this photo of me and my older daughter
when she was probably three, and it's me and it's
clearly the fourth of July because we're standing on this
deck and I'm holding a sparkler and it's dusk, and
she's just cute as can be, and I'm kind of
(17:08):
you know, a kiss in her cheek or whatever, and
I look amazing, Rob, these memory photos are gonna be
the friggin' death of me. The death. Probably a lot
of people feel the same way I look at this picture.
I'm like, God, damn, I was a peace man. What happened, well,
time happened, life happened. But I don't need to be
reminded by Mark Zuckerberg that I used to have something
(17:32):
going on. It's bad enough I have mirrors in my home, Rob,
I don't need this sexless nerd. I was a dipping
in Hell's Yes, Dustin in Georgia. I'm trying to listen
to you on iHeart, but it keeps skipping. Well, it's
just getting its cardio. Dustin great Oh. I think he
(17:56):
might have figured it out. Banks and schools and Post
of Physics are closed today. It is a federal holiday.
Yeah again, not a company holiday. I don't take. If
we were taking federal holidays off, we'd never be here.
But you know, like on MLK Day in January, we're
always off because there's an afternoon Cabs game and so
(18:18):
that I don't know if I mean that's federal holiday too, but.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
We wouldn't have a show anyway that day.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Now that rob is for people who are already looking
into twenty twenty six. That's a little bit of information
from me to you. Oh I made it run that
Kevin Gates show on Saturday night.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
There was no Steely Dan mash Up accompaniment, But what
a good time it was. It was me and everyone
else in Cleveland at the show. Jesus age Christ. Did
I send you the video or did I send to
somebody else video of the line? I didn't send you
what you did? Yeah, I was gonna say. I got there.
(19:09):
The Kevin Gates show was at Jacob's Pavilion. I don't
know if it's been a long time since he's been here.
I know he did the Agora like ten years ago,
and it was the first time seeing him for a
lot of people, because halfway through he's like, who's this
first time Kevin Gates? And half the place just went nuts.
It was probably sold out. But I get down there
(19:31):
and the line is all the way to the end
of the It's all the way through the parking lot
at Jacob's Pavilion, around the fence, down the Street, and
I'm like, okay, I'm gonna come back. So I dip
into the harbor In because I know I can always
sit there. They have malort. I'll have a fine time
(19:52):
love the harbor In. They're always very accommodating to me,
and so I'm just kicking it there. I'm flying solo,
and so I'm like, I'll go back, And about half
an hour later, I go back and the line isn't
much shorter, but it's moving and it Here's the problem
with rap shows. And I don't go to a ton
(20:14):
of them, but every so often I'll go to because
they can be insufferable because the thing is, you got
forty five scrubs before the headliner comes out. So you
got these dudes and again there's no you know, you
go to a music show obviously with gear and instruments
and things like that, and there's a lot more set
(20:34):
up the downtime in between rap show, you just got
a DJ and some video screens and it's just a
constant parade of people coming out. They'll throw their logo
up in the screen so you know who they are.
But they're scrubs. I mean, you know, the Ball Brothers
were there remember the basketball the basket ball brothers, Lunzo
Ball and D'Angelo Ball. Yeah, one of them had a
bona fide hit. But he goes by Jello g e
(20:56):
l O. And so he's one of these guys that
comes out and again I think he had a couple
of hits and the crowd was digging it. But it's
like his flow is whack. I mean, they were hot garbage,
so at least from my you know, perspective. Well, so
once everybody got in there, it was a lot of fun.
But it was like rap shows, man, It's just people
coming out and coming out and coming out, and you know,
(21:17):
I know that, especially for shows like that where there's
a ton of people in line. They're waiting for people
to be able to file in and see it. Like
I understand, but holy Christ.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Is Lonzo Ball in it because he plays for the Caves.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I thought Lonzo Ball played for a for a hornets
or side. He played for the bull got traded to
the Cabs.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Well I know that, but I didn't think he was
here anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I don't. Maybe he came out because they were in Cleveland.
He was there, yeah, because at one point he goes
is the you know what's what's Jello's name, DiAngelo DiAngelo
ball I think is the main bat okay, and he goes,
there's a bunch of them. It's a family affair. Yeah,
but there's like two of them that are you know,
and so it must have been Lonzo who came out
with him, you know. And rap shows too. By the way,
(21:59):
it's just karaoke, you know. It's a lot of fun,
but it's karaoke. They're like rapping to their own track,
not backing tracks, like their whole song. So it's fun,
but it's karaoke, right at least Kevin Gates. His is
a bit more instrumental, and not instrumental, I mean literally,
it's more melodic. There's a piano on stage. He would
(22:22):
have people come out occasionally, and he had two guitar
players with him, so he's got musicians as part of
his set. And his music is a lot more kind
of there's more of a melody to it rather than
just like straight bars and beats, and it was a
lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He dedicated song to his cousin. I don't think he
did no.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I'll tell you what though, look for your boy in
the back of a lot of tiktoks and snaps at
that show, because white girls love filming themselves singing along
at concerts. They love it. And I was in the
back of by pure coincidence, because I'm standing there and
(23:01):
girls in front of me they are going bah nanas
and I know him in the background of their tiktoks
and their snaps. So it's gonna be a lot of
people going, who who is that? So hope you weren't
picking your nose or in it. I wasn't. I'm standing
in their arms, crossboy. I'm having a good time. But yeah,
it was for all the build up by me. By
(23:22):
the way, I couldn't wait for that show. A lot
of fun man. But yeah, when he was like, how
many of you this is your first Kevin Gates experience,
a lot of people were going nut. So I'm not
sure how he blew up because he's been around for
a while.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I'm not sure if he blew up.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You know, TikToker social media, I don't know what it is,
but he's It's not like he's some Johnny come Lately.
It's funny though. One of the openers is like anybody
born before the two thousands, I just want to make
sure there were some old mother efforts out there. I'm like,
that's all. Now.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
At a show, Hey, were you born in the nineties, I'm.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Like, nineteen seventy one, back year?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What's up? Whole place just stops.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Oh yeah, you up scratch it when he turns and
looks at you.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Now, there were a lot of old brothers there. I mean,
it was you know, it was a good time. It's great.
Another guy goes if we can find this here. He
goes up, Hey, right here, I didn't set this up.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Hey, if you here was somebody you loved tonight, put
your hand over their heart and say I love you.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It was an actual line. I loved it because it
was you know, Kevin Gates his music is like it's
maybe that's part of his appeal is that it's much
more confessional than a lot of rap.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You know, there's like feeling to it, and there's some heart.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's not they have there's bitches and drugs and all
that stuff too, but it's very confessional.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I think he's kind of turned a corner.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It used to his material used to be a lot
kind of you know, harder than it is now, and
now it's more if it's a wrap, but it's like
the little R and B to it.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Yo, how many people out here with somebody in love tonight?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
All right right there? Put your hand over her heart?
Speaker 8 (25:09):
You?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Oh, how romantic I was standing.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I was standing. I'm in the ga part there in
front of the stage, and so I'm not right up front,
but I'm not all the way to the back either.
I'm kind of in the middle there, and it's nuts
to butts And at some point two or three songs in,
something falls on us, me and the guy next to me.
It seemed I don't know where it came from, but
(25:34):
something was falling. At first, I thought it was confetti,
because it was a lot of small pieces of something,
and then I looked down and I thought that it
was I saw what had fallen near my feet, and
I thought that somebody was like I thought maybe there
was some local rapper that was just flinging his flyers
into the crowd or something. I didn't know what. I
looked down. It's ten dollars bills and I go, oh,
(25:57):
those have to be fake. And I reached down and
they're real. So I still don't know where that came from.
This girl behind me practically knocked eight people over. She
stands up with like two fistfolds of ten dollars bills.
You got to cover those tickets, I guess. But I
was like, oh, these have to be fake, and I go, oh, no,
these are real. So I still don't know where I
got two of them, rob I bent down, I got two.
(26:21):
I got two tens. So I'm like, all right, I mean,
you can't even get an uber for twenty bucks anymore.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
But still, hey, it was a good show.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But I lo, oh, man, hey, if you're here with
somebody you love, make sure you say I love you,
bitch romantic.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I was great as advertised.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Dynamite two phones like third to the last, right, You say, what,
that's the beauty about rap shows two is they're doing
like two minutes of their song and then on to
the next song. Yeah. When I saw M and M
headline Austin City Limits years ago, it was unbelieved. The
(27:04):
first and last time I ever saw Eminem was at
ACL and he's just plowing through his hits. He's not
doing full songs. He's smart. All these guys are smart.
Do ninety seconds of your song and move on. That's
why you got Kevin Gates. His set list is like
forty songs long because he ain't doing full songs. Smart smart,
(27:26):
smart smart smart. So it was a lot of fun.
Did he play Thinking with Madi? He did? He did
Think with Madi? That was like the third one in
Oh nice, yep, did Thinking with Madie?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
You'd want the full version of that?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Did stutter?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Did?
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Really? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
A lot of good stuff, a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
So funny.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
I got so many dms over the weekend. Hey are
you going with Alan to the Kevin Gates show?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You? No? Absolutely not, I am not doing that now. Yeah,
Kevin Gates got sober.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That's why his music changed. Okay, yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
When he's up there, when he's kind of talking in between,
you know, it's all about positivity. He's in a suit
and got a hat, look like you going to church.
But he was great. It's fantastic. The whole thing was
a lot of fun. Although one of the weirdest interactions
I've ever had was a guy standing next to me
and his girl is behind him, and he's dancing the
(28:27):
whole time, arms in the air and whatever, and then
he kind of and he's smoking. I mean everybody there.
I didn't purposely didn't bring anything with me to smoke
because I'm like, I'm gonna get high at this show.
And this guy next to me, he like passes me
thing or whatever. I'm good man, thanks, and then he
kind of elbows me again and again it's we're all
(28:51):
packed in, so I'm just thinking it's that and he's
dancing whatever, and I don't like to get in people's way,
so I'm just kind of, you know, doing what I
always do. I just kind of stand there and my
head and he almost me again. I look over and
I'm like, what's up? And he and he starts poking
his peck. He's like jabbing his right peck nearest me, jabbing.
(29:11):
I look at him, like you all right? He's jabbing
and I go, what bro? And he goes, she just
grew behind me. I go, yeah. He goes, she want
to talk to you?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
What, like your girl want? What is happening here?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I'm like, I'm not if you guys are trying to
recruit for a threesome here, I ain't down. Yeah, she
looked like Robin Gibbons though. She talks to you.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, She's like, what's up? I go, I'm good. Whatever's
happened to that?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I go.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
She's like, what's up? I go, whatever's happening right now?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I'm good, I'm fine, thank you. Let's just have fun.
I don't know what was happening right because they probably
hammered or high who knows. But I'm like, you don't
know what you're talking to, right, I got twenty dollars
in my pocket. You know who you're talking to. I
got too, ten the floor, I got two tents. They
(30:04):
came right out of the roof. I picked him right
up up on the floor.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I sure did the Allen Cox Show.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
On one hundred point seven.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Alan, you have been described by your enemies as evil, insane, manipulative.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Who are you call the Alan Cox Show two one six,
five seven eight one double oh seven or one eight
hundred and three four eight one double oh seven, three
five one nine two?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
You want to send a text Allancoxshow dot com for
everything else? You can watch if you want on our
YouTube channel. Hey, how about those Cleveland Browns? Goodlike?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, oil boy, there were a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Of Steeler fans.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Boy, we were out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
The what light appearance did I do? When the Browns
are on the road.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Rob was there too.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
We were at the Town Tavern in Copley, which on
my way there, I had, you know, this past summer,
I had been at town tavern and I knew I
was going to one in Copley, but in my brain
I was thinking I was going back to Union Town.
So on the way there, I'm like this thing, right,
I hadn't been to the town Tavern in Copley before,
I'd been to the one closer to Green Ohio. It
was a lot of fun. Yesterday ended up doing a
(31:23):
bunch of shots. Did Yeager shots Yesterday wrote they just
got me. They got me in the right spot. I
think you had just left, and I ran into a
couple of people that I knew, and yeah, I found
one other co conspirator who was in a Jaeger mood,
and I said yes, because I hadn't had one in
(31:44):
a long time. So that means I left just in time.
You left just before we started doing Yeager I would
have gotten you in uh. But yeah, Browns Lows again.
I heard Sansburg kind of lamenting the Axis and os
they lost Big two. Yeah, Yeah, Calves lost Big two
(32:07):
and the Celtics. The Calves have yet to win a
game in the preseason, one thirty eight, one oh seven
to the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
And they're all still zero and zero. So it's fine,
this is the time to lose games.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Let's hope that they don't get used to that feeling, though,
and just carry it into the regular.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Season, right, that is the hope. But we'll assume that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
But again, I mean, aren't you trying to win games?
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I mean, I know, now's the time to get out
the crab.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I know, I know everybody's kind of shaking the dust
off and nobody wants to, you know, get hurt before
the regular season.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Like I understand, it's a long season.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Anyway. Celtics over the Calves yesterday. The Pistons will be
in town tomorrow night of Day twel It'll be a
seven o'clock tip here on MMS on the Iheartradiot you
can listen there as well. The regular season will begin
on the twenty second, one week from Wednesday. The Cavs
(33:11):
won't be back home until Sunday, the twenty sixth. They
will host the Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee over the Cubs in
the MLB playoffs. Boy, that's a tough one too if
you're a Cubs fan. A grant of the Cubs have
a World Series under their belt from almost a decade ago.
But the Brewers in the I mean that's a you know,
(33:33):
you go right up the lake to Milwaukee there, that's
a hardcore rivalry and the Brewers top the Cubs to
win the NLDS.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
There and better team this year. I mean, they're just
a better team all the way around. M hm.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
That's gonna be. This is gonna be an interesting year.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Like the Blue Jays, the Brewers, like, this is going
to be a great, great off postseason.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
So excited my blue Jays just still it. Yeah, I
can't wait. There's all my video here? Oh, who's all
my video? Oh? I know, hold on, hold on, Brewers
tap the Cubs, uh five three to one and uh
the happy there in the Bruce City. You know they
(34:20):
call it the Bruce City Road because of Laverne and
Shirley and uh listen, it's very exciting for the Brewers fans.
They're in Mealy Waukee. Cubs down there, file out Carson
Kelly crowded a short orties he makes the play Paul
gave over the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We'll play for.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
The Pettance Ella Bryan sub kind of liquid all over
each other.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Frank though, oh parsoling water.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All right. You know, my middle brother is a huge
Milwaukee Brewers fan, so he boy, he had a hell
of a week. My brother had his birthday on Friday,
same day as David Lee Roth. Dave, are you one
year older? All right? Great?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
And the Brewers win.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
The Mariners beat the Tigers in fifteen innings that game.
Win until about one am. Mariners in Game five, they
had load of the bases, full count home team. Oh
imagine that, you're playing for fifteen innings in front of
(35:45):
your you know, hometown crowd. Nothing better than that, and
they go nuts two probably each. He ro Suzuki and
(36:11):
the Seattle Mariners. He probably was at the game, probably was.
And now they're already up one game to nothing on
the Blue Tam.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I'll tell you Game two is tonight at Toronto.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
It is going to be no walk in the park
for your brothers Brewers against those Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I know this is going to be that.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
I'm telling you, this is the best a l CS
NLCS in a very time.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah, this is gonna be great. Brewers Dodgers Game one
is tonight, uh, Mariners Blue Jays Game two tonight, marin
is one last night, So my Blue Jays are the
only team still in it. Wouldn't it be fitting, however,
for this to be the year that a Canadian baseball
(36:56):
team wins the World Series?
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Right?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Wouldn't that be a poke in the too? I don't
know somebody. We might be a poke in the eye
to somebody, how so I don't well, because we've you know,
Canada one of our with Trump and everything. Yes, Canada
one of our most innocuous allies, and he's managed to
wipe his ass with everything that you know, the Canadian
(37:19):
team wins the World Series, but very exciting series, by
the way. Speaking of the Cox out, yes, well we
call him cox Ow. That kid that brought us those
album art that's pretty cool. Is this kid named Cody.
He's got a company called Spin Shelves, and he was
kind enough to bring us a couple of things. He
basically makes art out of vinyl albums, and he made
(37:42):
a bowl for us that had an Alan Cox show
sticker at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
And then what was the other thing, like a like
a Shelfers copy.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
There you go. It was like it was like a
vinyl album with a curved lip on the end, you know, like.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Hold a piece of music if you were playing or whatever.
What do you call those things.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Like an easel like your music on it? Yeah, spin shelves.
And he's just like a dude with like a regular
job and he kind of does this in the uh
uh in the UH as a as a side hustle
or I don't know what. He's a nice dude. Was
it like shipping and receiving or yeah or something like that. Yeah,
nice guy. Like they say in the Lifestyle rob shipping
(38:23):
not receiving. Important to remember that or both in this case. Yea.
And of course I don't want to bury the lead
because I know it's all anybody's talking about. The Las
Vegas Aces win the w NBA Championship, rob Rob, the
(38:43):
over rob those Las Vega. The Phoenix Mercury didn't even
win a game. They got swept. Imagine you get to
the finals of any sporting endeavor and you don't even
win one. That sucks. But I know you worked hard
all season and you get swept. Now, the Las Vegas
Aces are a bona fide WNBA dynasty rop so if
(39:09):
you were an Aces fan, now, I had big money
on that game. Unfortunately, I bet fifteen thousand dollars on
the Phoenix Mercury rop ooops, So the wrong way on
that one. I get it.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I thought, this is the game they're gonna they're gonna
win one. I'm betting the farm on it.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I bet them to win one game. So it didn't
turn out great for me. But hope springs eternal once
we get the Cleveland Rockers back and we've kind of
finally got some local gals to root.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
For in those one hundred and fourteen people in the stands,
boy today get the time of their lives.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
What a game. Well, and again, I don't want to,
if you'll pardon the pund I don't want to dunk
on the ladies because it's kidding. I know it's low
hanging fruit, but it is funny when the final score
is ninety seven to eighty six. You know, we're just
so used to triple digit scores that it's easy to
get spoiled. But the Las Vegas Ace has won their
(40:09):
third title in four seasons, and that's no small thing.
So yeah, they swept the Phoenix Mercury. And again, the
only reason I pay attention to the Phoenix Mercury is
because that's the guy who supposedly is going to be
buying the Chicago White Sox. These Ishbia guys, this guy
and his brother who are like got dad's money and
now their hedge fund dudes or something, and so they're
(40:30):
buying the Mercury, and you know, I think one of
them is a partial owner of the Diamondbacks, and the
other brother, not to be outdone, is gonna be grabbing
the White Sox from Jerry Reinsdorf. That's the wheels are
in motion, and so listen, he's gonna have an uphill climb.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
With a White Sox. Was Sophie Cunningham there in attendance,
That's so.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
I know that's all your interest in the WA n
ends and begins with Sophie Cunningham.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I think she she released some statement that she wasn't
watching any basketball after she was hurt. She needed like
a mental healthing. So I'm assuming she wasn't there, but
that would have been the story for me. Sophie Cunningham
was in attendance at the final WNBA Finals game and
uh oh, let's see here Las Vegas one. Yeah, oh cool,
(41:24):
that's how that story should have been written.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
You're like, why did they put the Sophie Cunningham story
so far down the line.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
They're like, well, she wasn't playing or anything.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
That's okay, doesn't need to be she's fantastic. Well, she's
in recovery now. She tore her mcl yep, and she's
from Missouri, the show me state, and so she will
probably be back home in Missouri convalescing, right.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
I mean I sent so many letters offering to help
with her rehabilitation. Not even a courtesy reply like I, hey, really,
thank you for looking at for me, Rob, I appreciate that.
I appreciate you being a fan. Nothing, not one reply.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
See, this is the problem with all of this outsized
interest and focus on the WNBA. Now, all of a sudden,
they're too good for you, Rob, Right now, all of
a sudden, you know, these women were languishing for decades
and now now look at them. You're trying to get
some information to her. Hey, just want to let you
(42:27):
know you got fans out here. We know you play
for Indiana when you're from Missouri. Just shades of difference
between there in the great state of Ohio. But you've
got fans out here and nothing from her, is what
you're saying.
Speaker 6 (42:42):
Yeah, I wrote, I really love your work on the
court with the court when you play for Google's Indiana
Indiana fever right, you are a fantastic point guard. I
think thank you for all of your contribution. You are
(43:05):
inspiring to us all. Please let me know if I
can help in your rehabilitation, your friend, Rob.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Now, this is where it probably would have been beneficial
to you had you introduced a little fib yours Brown's
coach Kevin Stefanski and you attach a photo right, because
she's probably got team doctors and family doctors that can
(43:36):
attend to her in her recovery. Doesn't need somebody else
helping her with that. She needs emotional support. Well, you
could have been her. You could have been her emotional support,
Rob emotional support Rob. I kind of like that, Yeah,
an emotional support Rob ps. I'm known regionally as the
(43:57):
clip rattler. I don't I left that part out, Yes,
And I don't know. I don't know if this is
the week.
Speaker 6 (44:08):
That I would want to be running around telling people.
I look like Kevin Stefanski too. I think that that's uh,
that's not a good thing this week. You don't want
water balloons full of poop hitting you. People are just
starting to call for his head now, man, Like I
just I don't know. It's so funny how how sports works.
It's true or doesn't work or doesn't work. He still
(44:30):
says he was surprised by the trade Joe Flacco. He
was surprised by That's what That's what the rumors are.
I don't know if he actually said it or not.
That's what That's what I've read is he actually had
nothing to do. It's like, oh my god, a lot
of dysfunction in there.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Well, we will be back out on the twenty sixth
for the next butt light football face off COXAU pregame.
Speaker 6 (44:54):
Twenty six is when they will be at Gillette Stadium
taking on England Patriots.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Should be a good one and uh, I'll be out
at the Where am I going to be on the
twenty sixth? The Happy Moose in Manor? You ever been
to the Happy Moose? No, sir, but I think I
will be the Browns win. That Moose is going to
be exponentially happier. You what, I think I'll be at
that one too. I believe need an extra set of hands.
Speaker 6 (45:21):
Oh good for you.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
You mean since they fired all of our promotions.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Yeah yeah yeah, do you have hands?
Speaker 7 (45:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, that's why I tell my go I'm happy to help. No, no, no,
it's okay. I'm like, I'm not above helping out. No,
it's fine. I used to do that.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
I used to be a promotions director.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
You know, it was easy. Got out there yesterday. I'll
set up quick. Amy and Jason are awesome.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
Yep, they sure are.
Speaker 10 (45:49):
So.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yeah. Anyway, those Browns, I don't know what to tell you.
If you are a fan, well, I don't have to
tell you anything, you know, if you're a fan, uh,
you know what's up. It would be fun to see
them win, But as of yet, no dice. Well they
got one.
Speaker 8 (46:09):
Mm.
Speaker 6 (46:10):
Well but yeah, I mean it's it's it's it's gonna be.
I mean, they're home what the Dolphins this week? Right,
it'll be tough.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (46:20):
So if everything goes to plan. From Stansbury's predictions before
the season even started, he said, if we're gonna see shador,
it's gonna be Week seven. Against the Dolphins at home,
and we're not the Jets. We are not the Jets
literally have yet to win, which I could not love
more than ten. I know, oh, I love it so much.
(46:40):
Yesterday was the worst two minute drill in history. Everything
that they do it's so good. So that would be
That'll be the game, right like the Battle of the
Bad on November ninth. That's the Jets at home against
the Browns. Yes, yeah, they got it. I don't know, man,
they got It's like they have everything to win. They
(47:02):
have the tools to win. Just find ways to lose.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
I've been calling the players tools might be frowned upon, rob.
Speaker 6 (47:09):
Oh, I get it. I'm like, when did I do that?
I'm like, oh, the tools.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
Well, the Browns will be playing my Chicago Bears at
Soldier Field on December the fourteenth. That should be another
easy win, all right for who the brownsh Hey Bears
are two and two. Bro, I don't know what you're
talking about. You can have your one in five Browns.
I'll take my five hundred.
Speaker 6 (47:33):
It's only because they got a bye week five two
and three if they didn't. All right, let's see how
they do tonight against Washington that's you.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
I know, that's a real test.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
The three and two Commanders, the former red Skins rob Yeah,
right on Columbus Day, No less wolf.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
Good thing they changed the car show on one.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Let's be real with your teacher is hot. Just be
careful if you're homeschooled. Double Now back to the Alancom
showm Our Little Ode to Parma, Ohio from many many
(48:33):
years ago.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
It went crazy viral at the time.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
And you know, Parma, Ohio brom a lovely town. You know,
some beautiful people live there, real mouth breeders live there too,
like any other town in America. But you know, for
a long time, they're claim to fame to some degree,
has been that. You know, they're like the seventh largest
city in the state of Ohio or something like that.
(49:02):
But they're hanging on to that like grim death because
the area where you live out there in Medina County,
they are exploding. They are. And I can envision a
future in which perhaps Medina, Ohio will leap frog Parma.
Speaker 6 (49:17):
Oh I don't what's the I don't know the population,
but I think they'd have a long way to go, right.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
I don't know a lot of people out DEREMDNA.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
But irrespective of what happens out there Parma, for whatever reason,
they have gone national again because another one of these
things where somebody's giant inflatable pumpkin makes a run for
it and gets out there, and they gotta somebody gotta
(49:46):
chase it out there Parma Heights, Ohio. This USA Today
post of the video police wrangle escaped punk.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
Pumpkin inflatable wrangle.
Speaker 6 (50:00):
It right, struggle with them?
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Where does that go from?
Speaker 1 (50:06):
That's pretty much in pursuit.
Speaker 7 (50:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
We're trying to de cleave this, not really, we're currently
struggling with.
Speaker 11 (50:16):
It right now.
Speaker 9 (50:17):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
Right. I mean, again, it's the property of the person
who owns it, but I think once it leaves your property,
it's the property of the city. They're trying, you know,
they're wrestling a deflated pumpkin. This happened in my neck
of the woods just last year. Another story that went nationally.
I guess people are really desperate for content. But out
(50:46):
where I live in Bay Village, this happened right across
the street from my daughter's school, a house on the
main drag there on Wolf Rode. Who this I don't
know who lives there, but they're known seasonally to have
giant figurings kind of tethered to their lawn.
Speaker 8 (51:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
They got a giant snow man in the winter time,
they get a goddamn the pumpkin Halloween time. I mean,
in their slight defense, it is across the street from
a school and so visually it probably makes for some
interesting conversation with kids.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
But this is the city Bay Village, Ohio, sixteen thousand people,
and in this job you meet just about every one
of them. I'm not a cop, but he is on
the job.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
Yeah, and Channel five boy, at the time, they were
really going in on like some dragnet vibe or something,
you know, And the inflatable pumpkin gets off the lawn
and into the street, and the Bay cops get called out.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
You know what you'll come up against. But this is
a doozy. You're on patrol and get word of a
giant pumpkin in the street. Those are my streets. You say,
you no want to be Jack o' Lanyard's gonna sell
you the hard work of tax paying citizens. Wolf and
Sadler Rose, you know, the drill, giant inflatable wise guy
and good intentions go south when the wind blows north.
One bounced then too. Before you know what, this kind
(52:02):
of thing happens. For the love of everything on the
green Earth. Tie these things up when the wind blows.
Where lucky Bay Village PD was up to the challenge,
turns out no challenge at all. Wipe that smile off
your face, fella, and thank the hard working men and
women of the Bay Village Police Department.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Waw See, listen, you gotta have a kicker story, right,
you gotta have something fun there to talk about. But
you have to also imagine if your local law enforcement
in either of those towns and they go, hey, you,
we got an inflatable pumpkin on the loose. Can Frank
get it? Yeah? No, you're out? Yeah again, Rob. I
(52:42):
think it's fair to ask, as the good citizens of
Parma Heights, Ohio, or last fall, the fine men and
women of Bay Village, Ohio, my neighbors, Rob, when will
we be freed from the scourge of runaway inflatable gourds? Right?
(53:03):
These are available at home improvement stores. Where As far
as Halloween goes, I think Halloween and a Christmas are
easily and obviously the two massive decoration holidays, right, people
just don't seem to go ham like they do like
a Thanksgiving. They don't really go crazy like that. You
(53:25):
might get a ham, but they're not going ham on
the decorations Halloween, Christmas. Those are your two big ones,
opposite ends by the way of the spiritual spectrum, if
you will, and so the yin and the yang of
what people are into. But you know, long gone are
the days where you might have like a plug in
plastic pumpkin on your step. Now it's nineteen foot tall
(53:48):
skeletons and.
Speaker 6 (53:49):
Yeah, that one in freaking Bay Village was the size
of a truck, huge, biggest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
Massive. I got a guy a couple of doors down
from me has got a giant werewolf on his lawn,
and you know, and I'm a problem with them, like
better you the me.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
And it looks like a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
And I don't really care that much about Thanksgiving or
Halloween rather, but I mean, these inflation, who are you
trying to impress with a giant inflatable pumpkin that that
gets loose of its tether? I meant the very least,
just tell these cops that the pumpkin is here illegally,
they'll get that thing under control and thirty seconds flat.
Speaker 3 (54:26):
That's flying all over the place and come on, obnoxiously big,
obnoxiously big.
Speaker 2 (54:33):
Now again in their defense that the people had this
in their yard out there in Bay last year, a
massive front yard. Some people. They got a yard the
size of a postage stamp, and they're trying to pack
it with They got a gage and they're recreating a cemetery.
Speaker 3 (54:48):
And again it's their law and they should do what
they want to with it.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
But then you run into the problem where you'll have
people driving through the neighborhood. And obviously this happens much
more frequently at Christmas than at Halloween, but halloween's catching up.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
Where people will stop to take pictures.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
Unlike main roads, right, people are driving along, and boy,
whoe to you if you end up behind one of
these people and they slam on their brakes take a picture.
They're like, oh, sorry, I just want to take a
picture of that. Oh see, it looks like a skeleton's
coming out of the ground. There's a hungus inflatable pumpkin.
(55:31):
I eat a photo because it's so big.
Speaker 6 (55:34):
Sorry, Oh, come on, sorry, it's like a werewolf, but
that's real.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
We got to email last week that they're going to
bring back the iHeart Halloween Party. Jesus. Now, we used
to do these back in the day we were when
we were in Independence, people would bring their little kids in.
The kid and that's what this is for. You can
always tell the salesgirls that just had kids because they
send an email.
Speaker 6 (56:01):
Hey, we said, bring back the Halloween party. Okay, it's harmless.
It's fine, except there's like nine people who work here now.
So when we were in Independence, you know, we had
seventy five people or what one hundred people you know,
working there.
Speaker 3 (56:15):
It was kind of cute.
Speaker 2 (56:16):
Little kid's walking around and it's you know, it's well,
it's harmless, is what's harmless?
Speaker 6 (56:22):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (56:22):
Cute? It's listen. When I was on the ear in
Pittsburgh and my son was like eighteen months old, right,
we did it there. I brought him in and he
had a tigger costume and people are like, oh my god,
that so much detail. You put orange makeup on his face.
I said, no, I didn't. He eats sobny goddamn strained
carrots that his face started to take on an orange hue.
(56:46):
Parents of babies know this. If you feed them a
lot of strained carrots, if that's what your baby ends
up being into, they will get an orange. Look, I
assume that's all Trump eats. But you know, so people
will bring your little kids in. Okay, it's fine, but
we get it as an invitation, you know, an email, right,
(57:09):
an email invitation? Will you be attending or no?
Speaker 6 (57:11):
I'm like de Kleine, Oh we'll be there because it's
happening during the show.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
Well that's the thing too. We will be sequestered in here,
which is where I would want to be, but it
will be very loud out there, which under normal acoustic
circumstances wouldn't be an issue. But these studios down here
not entirely soundproof to the degree you'd want them to be.
Speaker 6 (57:36):
I would say, not particularly sound proof might be even better,
because in order for it to be not sound it
would have to be somewhat soundproof, and they're not that either.
Speaker 2 (57:49):
Well, anyway, look at this is set for when next
the Okay, so the day before Halloween PP.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
It's fine, Yeah, four o'clock and it's.
Speaker 2 (58:01):
Fine, is it? It's fine? Yes? I mean it doesn't
really if you don't have small kids. And that's why
I say, you can always tell one of the salesgirls
just had a kid. Because they want to bring back
the Halloween thing. It's perfectly fine when my kids were
little er too, you know.
Speaker 6 (58:17):
Treating pumpkin decorating and other Halloween festivities. Costumes incourage, that's
a whole thing. Well, while we're doing pumpkin decorating again,
daycare again, it's not I have nothing to do with it.
So they can do whatever they want to do. It's
completely fine. What we run into, however, is colleagues in costumes.
Oh Jesus, Kennedy came in as like a dentist or something.
Speaker 2 (58:40):
I don't remember that. No, I'm in here in this
box just the way I like it, from nine am
or whenever Nolan's done, right, I'm in this room from
ten am to seven pm. And that's the way I
like it. I prepare for my show, I perform my show,
I do my my postgame or whatever it is, and
(59:03):
I get the hell out. If I have to take
a waz, obviously I gotta go out there. It's not
gonna bother me. It's just we haven't done this in
a while. And I'm curious why, Well, I shouldn't say
I'm curious. When our colleagues have kids, they go, oh,
we should do this. But it's perfectly fine. It's not
going to get in my way. I was just surprised
(59:25):
to see it.
Speaker 6 (59:26):
I want to put something over the door, like a
do not enter caution tape, something to keep it separate,
and I'll just I'll pee in a jug for the day.
Speaker 2 (59:35):
We're gonna put a multi page print out of a
d pic on that door there, so when the kids, yeah, what.
Speaker 6 (59:47):
Is that at Charleston Shoe.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
No, No, it's not that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (59:53):
This party is open to all kids, family and close
family friends. Can't wait to see your little ghouls and gobblins. Listen,
I can't be hypocritical about it. I think Halloween should
be for kids.
Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
I mean too, I think it's one more thing that
drunk grown ups stole from kids.
Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
You nowhere else it should be in your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
How about not here?
Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Well, that's hot, Listen. I have no problem with this.
Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I have when my older kids were younger, and other
cities I've worked at I have taken part. Now again,
it was at the behest of whoever I was married
to at the time. But you know, that's fine. It
doesn't it doesn't negatively affect me. It's not gonna bother me.
Speaker 10 (01:00:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
It's not like they're posting up in here. Oh it's fine,
it's just fine. It's perfectly fine. Wait, our show will
be half done by then. And because their little kids
going to be walking around, you know, because obviously they're
gonna do it towards the end of the day because
it's only an hour left in like the business day
when they do it, So that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Like I understand it.
Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, what.
Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
Do you mean you think that four o'clock is like
that's when they're gonna because they was an howard left
in their business day. People are gonna clear out of
here like noon to go get their kids ready for
this stupid thing. Oh, there's gonna be nothing done that day.
Oh come on, the kids aren't gonna show up in costume,
and mom and dad are gonna stay here working till
they arrive.
Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
You're gonna get okay, they're gonna come with.
Speaker 6 (01:01:20):
Well I thought maybe they Yeah, okay, oh look kids,
here's the pumpkin decorating table again. That doesn't affect me,
doesn't affect me. Whatever they go out there in the breaks,
they gotta get water. I I gotta step around a hey, pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Decoration, don't look a gift horse. There might be some
yummy punch. Nope, okay, Hey, there's a thousand dollars to
do with whatever you see fit. You can throw an
anti Halloween party if you're a Halloween scrooge.
Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
I am not a Halloween screoge.
Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
I'm not either. I'm just saying like, I feel like
it should be the domain of children, and it's one
more thing that adults have taken for John Halloween. I
have an amazing idea. Because we will be on the
air that day during the iHeart Halloween Party, I think
it would be very nice of us to contribute in
(01:02:14):
some small way, and so I think that you and
I should reply to that email. Hey, we can't take
part directly in the festivities, but we would love to
provide the musical accompaniment to this party and the idea.
I can't say that the idea came to me completely
on my own because d Rock, who was one of
(01:02:36):
our VIEWA chiefs down in El Paso, Texas, who listens
on iHeartRadio. He sent me a link on YouTube called
spooky farts for Halloween. Awesome. Yes, so I think that
we should tell them, hey, leave the audio the background
accompaniment to Rob and me, and then they won't know
(01:03:02):
what they're gonna get. They figure it's gonna be kids
bop or something. And then we blow this over the
speakers in there while everybody is having fun and walking
their kids around. And now sure this is only four
and a half minutes long, but they're screaming in the back,
(01:03:22):
so it's not as It's not like little kid Jaunty Halloween.
I actually don't know who this is.
Speaker 6 (01:03:29):
For me, spooky farts.
Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
There's nothing spooky about the farts. Do you oh right, Wow,
somebody ate a whole pack of Starburst issue there? You
kind of like it? Do you think, oh wait what? Oh?
Do you think that somebody's really getting tortured in there?
(01:03:58):
Do you think that the kids would be, it's, frightened
by this. Do you think that they would find it humorous?
It depends on the age.
Speaker 6 (01:04:03):
Do you think that it would be received in the
spirit in which it was given by us? But you
can tell by some of the parents out there they
wouldn't love it. Okay, oh my god, they're playing foofs well.
Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
But also, you know what's going to happen is some
of our colleagues will be bringing their grandchildren, not their children,
their grandchildren.
Speaker 6 (01:04:21):
That'll be part of it too. Oh here's a good
question for you. Do we actually have to, like, if
there's trick or treating? Does that mean I have to
come in with a bag of candy for kids? I
will put you leave it to me.
Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
I will put a plastic pumpkin full of candy outside
our studio. Do something like Now, it will be actually
mouse traps in a ball, but they'll be the humane ones.
Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Oh that's less fun.
Speaker 6 (01:04:46):
Yeah, it would be like I think, let's do like
a dental floss toothbrushes.
Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
Nope, I am going to at great.
Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
It would be a very laborious process, but I think
the end result will be fantastic. I'm going to fill
a plastic pumpkin full of creamy peanut butter. I like that.
I'm gonna tell the little kids, hey, just come by
and grab a scoop in your hair, grab a handful,
hand it to mom or dad, and be on your way.
(01:05:18):
I like that. Idea. Yeah, why, I don't know, because
it seems funny. So I'm I'm certainly not being ba
humbug about it. I'm trying to find a way that
we can insert ourself into the proceedings in a way
that is.
Speaker 6 (01:05:38):
Representative of this program. I'm not ba humbuggy either. I
just think it's weird. I'm sorry. I know I get
the you're a dick, you're a screwget that's I just
don't understand why it's necessary.
Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
Like what what you get?
Speaker 6 (01:05:56):
You have a job, You come to work, like you said,
You're in here from the second Nolan leaves until you
leave for the day. You do all your stuff, you work,
you get a paycheck.
Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Game over.
Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
I don't need Like, dude, if I want to go
to a Halloween party, I'll go to a halloween party.
Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
You shouldn't be one here, but I have to go to. Well,
first off, I look at it this way. Office halloween
parties are not a weird thing. So it's not like
they are, you know, blazing some kind of trail. It's fine.
Second of all, we don't all do the same job,
and we don't all have the same demands of our job.
You know people who work out there, they are on
a much more flexible kind of thing, So I don't
(01:06:31):
begrudge them that I just happen to be in here
because I have to be in here, and this is
where I like to be. This is Rob the Magic
Habins Rob. Of course, everybody's texting me. Now watch one
of those kids steal here celsius. Oh, it'd be so good.
Cotton Ball says, I should just put a basket of
celsius outside the studio door.
Speaker 6 (01:06:51):
Hey, kids, here's free celsius. How do you feel about
mango lemonade? Imagine giving a little kid a can of celsius. Yeah,
just one is to share it between all of them,
bouncing off the walls.
Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
I mean, I don't know that parents come in screaming
at me.
Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
What they can't handle fifty micrograms of chromium.
Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
This is the first time your kid, I know you
said that you've seen this before. I've not, in my
thirty years of radio, ever seen a Halloween party for kids.
Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
Oh, every station I've ever worked that has done it.
Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Never. Yeah, and I mean listen, I feel like you
might be in the minority on that one. Maybe I am,
Maybe I am again. I just I don't know, dude.
Speaker 6 (01:07:29):
I always feel like there's there needs to be a
place that you work in, a place that you do
other stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
I agree theoretically, but I'm not going to be a
dick about it, like you know what I mean, Like I'm.
Speaker 6 (01:07:41):
Gonna sit in here a bitch about it but not
doing anything. Yeah, we are fighting a losing battle on
that front.
Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
So I think anything that anything that makes people feel
good for the day or whatever.
Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
You you do, you especially not in my face. It's
not going to be you know, especially after you smoke
a bunch of people. That's probably where we're getting caught.
The candy budget. We can do it this year and
buy the pumpkins because they let everybody go. Yeah, so
now there's extra money to buy pumpkins and candy.
Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Well, who knows. I don't know how those bud paints
do you paint?
Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
They're not gonna let the kids carve pumpkins, right, it's
pumpkin decorating, so they'll just paint them and do stupid
little things like that.
Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
So fingerpaints. Alan get a bunch of those Ferraro Rochet
gold chocolate wrappers and wrap a bunch of Brussels sprout heads.
This is what I'm doing. I swear to God, this
is what I'm doing. I'm doing something like this, because
what do they do. They just go door to door
or whatever however it's set up, and they'll just grab
(01:08:35):
something and throw it in their bag.
Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Right, they're not gonna inspect it when they get home.
Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
These kids will all have a gold foil wrapped Brussels sprout.
Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Don't get home or what a lot of people do.
Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Because this party is the day before Halloween, they'll set
it to the side because they're preparing for Halloween proper. Right,
they go trigger treating the next night. Yeah, it's not
like this is the extent of their trigger trading. This
is the let's go see where mom and dad work portion.
They'll set it to the side and then they'll invariably
forget about it. But all the time that gold foil
(01:09:13):
wrapped Brussels sprout will be in that bag, and give
it enough time, it's gonna start to stink and they
are not gonna be able to pinpoint that smell. And
even though I have just given away the game publicly here,
I don't know that any of those people are listening.
Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
I'm we're gonna hear about this one?
Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Should I have? So it's it's between bowl entire plastic
pumpkin full of creamy peanut butter, full of pennies before
those are phased out, or even though it's labor intensive,
I'll do the work if the joke.
Speaker 6 (01:09:56):
Is good enough, individually wrapped, individually wrapped.
Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
I'm not trying to make it my sick.
Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Just kidding.
Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
Where am I going to get all the dog turns?
Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Rob? You have a dog? Yeah? I know, I have
two of them. I can help.

We're not gonna do a pair of day you know.
Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Yeah, right, because the show is next year, right, It's
it's eleven months from now.
Speaker 6 (01:14:58):
So the problem I think with how they did this
presale thing was obviously anybody can sign up for that. Yeah,
so now that basically just makes it like a general
on sale anyway, yes, right, yes, but I think what
they do is I think they hold percentages of tickets
back for when like there's x amount of lotted three. Yeah,
so when it goes general on sale, I think if
(01:15:19):
you're quick or if you're good at however people scoop
up tickets, you can probably get some for a decent
price because I think there's going to be a huge
chunk that are going to be released.
Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Yeah, but I think they were partnering with a particular app. Yeah,
and so it took you to that app and then
try to sell you seven hundred dollars tickets, right, and
I do like what a lot of the apps do
now is they show you the view that you would
have in that seat. Because they didn't do that for
a long time. You were like, well, I hope this
is good, you know, unless you at a particularly venue memorized.
Now they're like, here's the view of the stage from
(01:15:49):
your seat. And I almost did it because when I
first put in the pre sale code and it took
me to it, you could still get pairs of tickets,
and so I'm like, oh, hey, there's seven hundred and
thirty bucks, but fine, I'll get a couple of tickets just.
Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
To have them, right.
Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
And then I went and then it like rebooted, and
then it was down to single tickets.
Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
I'm like, well, I'm gonna do that, he said by myself.
Speaker 6 (01:16:13):
Yeah, if it comes down to that, I'll buy a
ticket in the three hundreds or two hundred or whatever
it is up in Loudville and just up a Noisetown Noisetown,
Yeah and whatever. I'll spend whatever I spend for a
crap ticket and just stand up. You know what I mean, Like,
that's if it gets to that point, that's what I'll
do because.
Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
It will be I mean, I'm going to be a
lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (01:16:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
They added the second show, so we're getting two nights
here in Cleveland in September.
Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
It'd be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
It's more out of curiosity than anything else on my
part to see Anaka Nillis playing drums with them. It'll
be an amazing show. But obviously we thought we'd never
get right. Yeah, So anyway, all this week listen to RMG.
He will have the song of the day for you.
He will announce when Stansbury is gonna play it for you.
(01:17:02):
He will make the announcement at seven point thirty and
then call her ten get you into the Rock Hall,
and then we'll tickets. You don't get inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame unless you're really good.
Speaker 6 (01:17:13):
That will be an amazing prize if we could just
get at once a day we get a listener inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well they'll
probably still get in. Before Boston. I was gonna say, yeah,
they probably will. You know, I forgot that def Leppard
was in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yep,
(01:17:33):
they got in right before COVID.
Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
They got in that class of twenty nineteen and they
were inducted by Brian May of Queen. I don't know
that that was here in Cleveland.
Speaker 13 (01:17:46):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
Maybe it was twenty nineteen. I'm trying to remember because
I have gone to most of them here in Cleveland
since i've been here. Maybe the last year in Public Hall,
or the first year of the Realm of Fijo, the Zombies,
(01:18:14):
Roxy Music, radio Head. That doesn't feel like it was here.
Uh but anyway, I don't remember. But def Leppard got
in that year. They just got their star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame, which you kind of pay for
or you're sponsored.
Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
Well, that's where you put like your handprints in the okay,
so what are they gonna have all?
Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
No, that's Graeman's Chinese Theater.
Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
Do they still do that? I don't know. I thought
Hollywood Walk of Fame is when you get your star
put the star was confused. Chinese theater is a different thing.
Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
They'd have to like space it out differently because there's
only nine arms, nine hands, right, or would he put
his foot hand in twice or one foot next to it,
Well put his twice. Now, this is quality old school
def Leppard nineteen eighty March a song called Wasted Barely
(01:19:18):
sounds like that.
Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Rick Ali still is too an remember Wasted. Their major
label debut was called on Through the Night. It was
a semi truck in space, I don't know, but they
were still finding their way, and then they would have
(01:19:40):
an album called High and Dry, and then of course
they exploded with Pyromania. Yeah, that was the one coincided
with the birth of MTV and it just could not
have come at a better time for them. But they
did get their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
and John bon Jovi was there to extoler their virtues.
Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
Fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
Speaker 13 (01:20:05):
I am John bon Jovi and I am a def
Leppard fan. We first met in nineteen eighty six on
a festival show in Germany, and I quickly realized that
these guys are going to be my friends. They had
just come off the huge success of Pyromania, with monster
songs that define what rock radio would sound like, and
(01:20:26):
bon Jovi was just releasing our third album, Slippery when wet.
Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
We hit it off immediately.
Speaker 13 (01:20:32):
Hanging out with Joe and the guys felt like hanging
with my own band, but with a different accent. The
music of def Lepper was born and raised in our generation,
but has continued to reach new audiences who have made
it their own for four decades in counting. I hope
you guys love this day and live forever on this
the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
I'm funny, all right, how do you feel about Fleppard
getting their star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I'm
fine with it. I wish it. I wish they would
mention in these articles where the star is like, oh,
we're between if you're looking for us, we're between b Arthur.
(01:21:15):
I know that they like give the address, you know,
of the whatever crappy store is behind them, And there
are it's not spoken about very much, but there is
kind of a hierarchy of where you get your star.
There are premium spots. Have you ever gone down the
Hollywood Walk of Fame. There are some out of the
way stars. Boy like around the corner right, some guy
that was like a cameraman in the twenties or something.
(01:21:37):
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce does this, and they always
put Rick Allen on the edge of the frame of
the photos because his left arm obviously isn't there. Literally,
they are doing a Las Vegas residency next year. They're
doing twelve shows in February. And now they have their
(01:21:58):
star the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now do they list
names on that or would it just say def Leppard?
It says def Leppard? Okay, I didn't know because, like
you know, obviously that was Steve Clark. Steve Clark died,
like Pete Willis, was their founding guitarist. I think he's
dead too.
Speaker 6 (01:22:13):
But he was as important as anybody in that band.
I think he's one of the most underrated guitarists. Steve Clark.
Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
Yeah yeah, if that guy, if that guy could have
kept control of himself and he drank himself to death, yeah,
I mean just incredible. But def Leppard are also like
guys that are still in good shape, right, they like
kept it together. Rick Allen notwithstanding. But I mean you
(01:22:41):
want to talk about a comeback story. I'm just saying,
like anybody else a drummer would have been like, I
guess it's over for me. Not that guy. No, he's
like no, let's figure it out. Hey give him credit
for sure, and the rest of the band going, yeah,
let's figure it out. You're a boy.
Speaker 6 (01:22:58):
He's got the best costume or whatever the wardrobe in
the rock hall because it has that like folded up
little like where the army.
Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Should be for it's like pinned to the shoulder.
Speaker 7 (01:23:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:23:09):
And there are the jokes. My favorite has nine arms
and sucks yep. One of my favorite jokes of all time.
Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
It's Joe Elliott speaking on their behalf. So what about
the actual albums?
Speaker 14 (01:23:23):
Massive thanks obviously go out the Mutt Lang, who took
the gambo on working with this unknown quantity back in
nineteen eighty one, taught us what making the record really meant.
Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
An ELS's creed.
Speaker 6 (01:23:33):
A four muttline style banging his best friend's wife or no,
his wife's best friend.
Speaker 14 (01:23:41):
Songs that would hopefully last a lifetime to our incredible,
loving fan base out there.
Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
Two words, thank you, two words, thank you?
Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
That's great? Why not? Oh I don't know? I got that?
Is it? Who is this? Hello?
Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
Am I on the air?
Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
You are?
Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Who's this?
Speaker 8 (01:24:07):
This is Woodrow?
Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Oh? Hey woy, somebody Sometimes I just picked up the line,
and sometimes it fills in another caller's name, So I
couldn't count on the fact that it was Kevin wanting
to talk about the Browns.
Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
What's going on with Hey man?
Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
How's your day? All right?
Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
So far so good?
Speaker 8 (01:24:23):
Hey Rob? How are you doing?
Speaker 9 (01:24:24):
Brother?
Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (01:24:25):
Nothing but the Red?
Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (01:24:26):
You guys are talking about def Leppard? You know, lifelong fan.
I still have a jersey, a threadbar Pyromania jersey tucked
in plastic in my underwear drawer from when I saw
those guys back in eighty three or whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
You know, why is it in your underwear drawer?
Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Do you ever use it like as a as a
throng or what are you doing? You wear it as
a loin cloth?
Speaker 8 (01:24:53):
No, it's just a It's just a it's a threadbear
t shirt that got.
Speaker 2 (01:24:59):
It literally has on pitch stains in it.
Speaker 8 (01:25:01):
Yeah, because I wore I wore the Death I wore
the Death Leppard out of it. But yeah, you know,
I saw a bunch of times.
Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
I think I tore a story.
Speaker 8 (01:25:09):
How I got drunk and drew up.
Speaker 15 (01:25:12):
In Creighton University parking lot.
Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Every one of Woody stories is like, I'm pretty sure
I told you about the time that I got drunken
threw up, and then you fill in the rest of
the store dot dot dot. Yeah, I remember I told
you about the time where I got drunk and threw
up at Deaf Leopard.
Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
Yeah, okay, what about the time you.
Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
Got drunken threw up at another show in the parking
lot at a funeral into the casket. Yeah, well, you know, those.
Speaker 8 (01:25:39):
Are the days, those are the days. Your last the
last segment, you're talking about Halloween.
Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
Not a huge Halloween.
Speaker 8 (01:25:49):
Guy, but you know with the with the big giant
inflatables blowing around.
Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Yeah, yeah, are you trying to tell me what that
You're not a big fan of giant inflatable pumpkins flying around?
Ironically enough, I am not.
Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
All right, Well, it's a bit disturbing, but yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:26:09):
It's free Halloween, and.
Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
I I don't know where I was going.
Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
To go with the pumping story.
Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Man, I'm blanket what he's like. I was going to
get drunk and throw up and then call you and
give you a Halloween story.
Speaker 4 (01:26:23):
But oh yeah, well.
Speaker 8 (01:26:24):
But yeah, but the back to Death Leopard. Did you
know that that Joe Elliott's wife is from my little
hometown in Iowa, which is bananas.
Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
What hometown is that? It's Oh, Joe Elliott's wife is
from wood He's hometown. That's the town where what he
got drunk. It threw up in the parking lot of
the MC sports. Thank you, Woody, I got to move on.
Appreciate it, heal, Thank you. What's the difference between a
turkey and def leopard? I don't know. A turkey has
(01:26:57):
two drumsticks. It's gonna suck when the only deaf lepperd
jokes are about one guy, right, there's no Visian Campbell jokes, right, No, Hey,
Vivian Campbell just eats potatoes and cabbage all day long
because he's Irish. And every joke about your band is
(01:27:19):
about you losing an arm.
Speaker 6 (01:27:21):
I'm sure there's there's gotta be there's no, there's no.
Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
Nobody was making deaf leopard jokes at all until that
unfortunate accident. It's like nobody makes Cliff Burton. Nobody makes
metallic jokes about Cliff Burton. Right, No, he fell out
of a tour boss that went onside and got crushed
and died. Obviously, Rick Allen is still alive. But I
guess that's where the jokes can come from is that
he lived, but he right still. The only deaf leopard
(01:27:47):
jokes you'll ever hear are about Rick Allen. Oh no,
here's one.
Speaker 6 (01:27:51):
When a cougar gets so old she needs a hearing age,
she becomes a deaf leopard.
Speaker 2 (01:27:56):
That no great, not compared to what has nine arms
and sucks. You're not gonna get I'm wanna cool a
deaf leopard. I mean no, there's a reason that all
the good jokes are about Rick Helt. And you know what,
listen thirty five years hence forty years later. I'm sure
he takes them in stride. He's laughing all the way.
(01:28:17):
Oh god, yes. And by the way, there isn't a
drummer on the planet, present company included, who wouldn't love
to try that kid out, Oh right, one arm behind
my back and just play that trigger kit that he's got.
Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
That would be they made it for him. He probably play.
Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
He probably plays that thing thirty five forty years later,
probably plays that thing better than most of the two
arm guys out there.
Speaker 6 (01:28:43):
And there is no one on the planet that hasn't
done the like. Whenever you're listening to a deaf leopard song.
You can't air drum with two hands like everybody does.
Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
I if I'm playing a song from the first couple
of albums, Rob, well sure, but then if we get
into Hysteria, I tucked my arm in my shirt sleeve.
Speaker 6 (01:29:02):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta like you gotta move the end
of the nub part because he lost it between Pyromania
and Hysteria.
Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
Right, there's a car crash, right right, But I mean
like that's the timeline he had. He had two arms
on Pyromania. I think Hysteria was I think the first
album they did with that trigger kit that he played,
because it took him a while to learn to play it.
Speaker 6 (01:29:23):
I mean obviously he started from scratch. Well because it's
and it sounds so much different.
Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
Because I think Pyromania was eighty three, Hysteria was eighty seven,
so they I think so they had to take their time.
They're like, you take whatever time you need, bro, because
you're figured that first year was just him going I
have one arm, you know what I mean? Like what
that would do to your head? Ye oh yeah, and
then you're a drummer. Even if you weren't a drummer,
(01:29:47):
you'd be like, oh I am missing a limb now.
Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
I mean you think about it, though, any other instrument
he probably would not have been able to carry on.
Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Saxophone well, sure, but I mean he would not have
been able to play anything else, that's right.
Speaker 6 (01:29:58):
But else, I mean maybe piano, you can get away
with it. There men, No piano, you couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
He could have played a thereman, you don't even touch
that instrument.
Speaker 6 (01:30:08):
Yeah, I mean guitar out, bass out, yeah, you're right,
everything else.
Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:30:14):
So it was the only way he could have ever
continued on. So it is kind of, you know, just
an interesting story if.
Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
He had to have that happen and play an instrument
drums is arguably the most fortuitous thing that could have happen.
Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
And he's the only one, only one, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:30:28):
So it's like whenever anybody mentions a one arm drummer,
it's just synonymous with def Leppert.
Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Yeah, he made them more famous.
Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Yeah, he couldn't play Kenny G can't play the saxon.
Kenny G couldn't play this The Allen Corr Show. On one.
Speaker 9 (01:30:48):
Fun fact, celebrity deaths, like testicles sometimes come in threes.
Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Shown seven. Yes, I got another thousand dollars for you
here but seven or eight minutes courtesy of the Buzzard
bookie four thirty, five thirty, your last two key words
of the day. Then we'll start it all over again
(01:31:18):
tomorrow morning with RMV. Has there been a third celebrity death?
Really run the gamut of emotions over the past twenty
four hours, over the two celebrity deaths that I saw,
which was Diane Keaton died. I guess after a very
brief illness. I guess that she had kept everything to
(01:31:43):
her family and friends. You know, Michael Keaton, the actor,
took his stage name from Diane Keaton. I think it's
a well known story by now. His given name is
Michael Douglas. But obviously, when you joined SAG, you know
you have to There can't be two people of the
same name. This happens to a lot of actors where
they take a stage name because somebody already has that name. Obviously,
there was another actor named Michael Douglas, and so Michael Keaton.
(01:32:07):
Michael Douglas took Keaton because he was a Diane Keaton fan.
I will personally never forget her gray teeth. H But
Diane Keaton, who got really big back in the day
from Annie Hall. You know, she dated Woody Allen and
she was in the Godfather. Of course, she kind of
messed around Pacino, I think for a bit. David Warren
(01:32:28):
baty back in the day. She was seventy nine years old.
Last twenty twenty five years. Most of her movies were
kind of like the Nancy Myers genre. You know, they
were like rom comms and things like that. But she
was always good when you saw her and stuff. I'm
not a rom com guy, but she did one years ago,
was it Something's Got to Give?
Speaker 3 (01:32:49):
With Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
Keanu was a doctor who was hitting on her, and
she was obviously much older than Keanu, whereas Jack Nicholson
was the age appropriate person for her in the film,
but he was you know, Jack Nicholson plays himself in
most movies. I know he's retired, but last handful of
(01:33:13):
movies he did, he basically kind of played himself. So
early seventies, Diane Keaton was kind of Woody Allen's muse YEP,
and she was one of his most vocal defenders. Man
when all of the pervy stuff started coming out about
Woody Allen and I remember my mom. I was like
(01:33:35):
in kindergarten or first grade or something like that. She
was in this movie called Looking for Mister Goodbar in
the late seventies, which I thought was a movie about
candy obviously, but it was about a single woman finding
her sexuality. I don't know. My mom loved that movie, which,
(01:33:57):
in hindsight, I was like, what's my mom into. She
was the mom and father of the Bride, the Steve
Martin film, right, that was a huge, huge movie. Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Diane Keaton I thought was like, you know, nineties or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:34:11):
I mean. I thought she was super cute, really cute.
But you also never saw her below the neck. She
never you know, passed, you know, late eighties, early nineties.
She was always buttoned up. She was always wearing like
high college shirts and hats and turtlenecks and whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:34:32):
She had two kids.
Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
I don't think she ever married, but I guess she.
She died pretty suddenly. TMZ of course has like nine
to one one audio, but there's nothing there. It's just
you know, TMZ splashes these things Diane kateon nine one
one audio, and then it's somebody going, hey, yeah, could
you send an ambulance what seems to be the problem, Sir,
(01:34:56):
I got a person down.
Speaker 3 (01:34:57):
What kind of down they're sponsor?
Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
Are they breathing?
Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
End of tape and seem right, that's what it is. Yeah,
Diane Keaton nine one one audio okay?
Speaker 3 (01:35:09):
Cool? And then the other person who died. I'm very
happy that they did.
Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
There's a guy named Ian Watkins who you might remember
from back in the day. He fronted a band called
Lost Prophets, who these guys were on the rise. Boy,
I think about the other guys in Lost Profits, how
this guy just screwed them because he was a pedophile.
This guy was doing heinous things to kids. He has
(01:35:36):
been killed in jail. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy? Yep.
Two dudes have been accused of murdering Ian Watkins. He
was serving a twenty nine year sentence at a prison
in England. A twenty five year old guy and a
forty three year old guy. What do they always say
about prison. They don't like they don't like pedophiles, and
(01:36:02):
they don't like rapists, which I always thought was strange
because you figure prison, you know, if you're in a
like a prison with a lot of capital offense people.
There's gonna be a lot of rapists in there. You know,
rape is a crime of violence, not of sex. And
so I was always the kid thing. I fully get
if you're a pedophile, you yeah, but the rape thing,
(01:36:24):
I'm like, I always thought that was odd. They were like, oh,
prisoners hate rapists really.
Speaker 6 (01:36:28):
And especially though you said that the kids stuff, that's yeah,
that's the way to get checked out quick.
Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
So frankly, I'm surprised he lasted that long because he's
been in jail for like ten years.
Speaker 6 (01:36:42):
Knock a couple of years off of each one of
those guys sentence for good behavior.
Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
Yeah, I mean he got in there for like baby rape. Yeah,
you know what I mean, like awful, awful, heinous stuff.
And yeah, so the police were called of the prison,
got a report from the hacks that there have been
an assault on a prisoner is pronounced dead at the scene,
and it was Ian Watkins. So I guess glass half full.
(01:37:09):
He doesn't have to do any more of his sentence
and we don't have to pay for it. Yeah, and
his co defendants wore the moms of the kids he
abused and they're in prison too, So it was his
whole gross thing man. But when that first blew up
with Lost Profits, because again you remember Lost Profits, Oh yeah,
(01:37:30):
they were kind of coming up with, like god, who
are the other bands at that time that were kind
of it was kind of like this second wave of
British rock in like the mid odds, like when Doves
was happening, and Lost Profits they had a couple of hits.
They a song called Rooftops and I was playing him
a station I was at Chicago was Alternative station. We
were playing Lost Profits. And when word got out that
(01:37:53):
this guy was like not only grooming people last train home,
that was another big one from them, not only grooming
people but doing horrendous things. Oh yeah. And so the
other guys were like, well we could we can't do
this band anymore. We can't just get a new front man.
(01:38:15):
We gotta do you know when you said last week,
change the name of your band. Yeah, for far less
than this, by the way, start over. Yeah. So I
don't know if that new band, it was called No Devotion.
I think I don't know if they did anything. But
the other guys in the band, you know who used
to play with Lost Profits. I mentioned this at the
(01:38:36):
time by the way is that Elon Rubin. He was
the guy that just left Hoo Fighters to go to sorry,
left nine inch Nails to go to Foo Fighters. You know,
he and Josh Freese kind of did ah Matt Stafford
Jared Goff swap. Yeah, Elon Rubin used to play drums
for Lost Profets and yeah, completely destroyed that band. Hey,
(01:39:04):
we've arrested your singer like drugs or no? No, he
tried to rape a toddler. What okay? Yeah, we can't
go boy. At the very least, we've got to cancel
our tour dates.
Speaker 6 (01:39:17):
Can I see your phone for a second band name Generator?
Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
Anyway, on the morning of Saturday morning, attacked and killed
in prison. So I would like to get the commissary
information for those two guys who did it, and uh,
you know, make sure that they all get all the
ramen they want to send them a little something something
(01:39:44):
for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 6 (01:39:46):
Well, thanks for thanks for the effort edible arrangement. Are
you in the mood for any Brian?
Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
Oh, you know the answer to that from me. You
don't ever have to ask me because he called a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
Now this is gonna be one of those songs that
you might know the lyrics, but he is playing with it.
You tell me if you remember the song, this is
going back aways you think.
Speaker 7 (01:40:13):
Be so, I'm so glad you can't.
Speaker 11 (01:40:21):
Be to my.
Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
Dear.
Speaker 3 (01:40:26):
Is any part of that recognizable?
Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
Okay, you make me so very Yeah? Who was that pie?
Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
Blood Sweat and Tears? Remember Blood Sweat and Tears?
Speaker 7 (01:40:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:40:38):
Yeah, yeah, what are you? Amazing voice from that guy?
By the way, uh because they were Canadian I think
was the guy's name from Blood Sweat and Tears, because
they had uh, you make me very Happy? I think
that was a song, and then they had the.
Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
Spear and wheel got to go round.
Speaker 2 (01:41:00):
And Brian apparently is on a Blood Sweat and Tears
now again. Blood Sweat and Tears still around as a band.
That's one of those bands that when they need a singer,
they get him from these competition shows.
Speaker 3 (01:41:15):
There was a guy years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
He came in second I think to carry Underwood early
days of American idol, a guy named bo Biss, Remember
Bo Bye?
Speaker 3 (01:41:24):
Was he the one that like he was the obnoxious?
Speaker 2 (01:41:27):
No, that was Taylor Hicks. Timber Hicks was the Salt
and Pepper the older guy. Yeah, he won bo Bice,
I do not remember. Bo Bice did not win, but
he had this look. He had like long hair and
he just had this look and so all these girls
were just moist in the shorts for bo Bice. Anyway,
he was like a runner up on Uh. He came
(01:41:48):
in second I think to carry Underwood and he's been
fronting Blood, Sweat and Tears. Bo Bice has bo Bie Wow.
He going way back. He was runner up against Carry
Underwood the fourth season of American Idol. So what is
that like two thousand and three or something for And
then they got another guy from another reality show. So
(01:42:11):
when bo Bice leaves, he's with him for five or
six years. And then they get a guy from the
Voice people who might not remember the song players. I'm
so glad you can't.
Speaker 7 (01:42:28):
Be too.
Speaker 3 (01:42:45):
Good a voice man.
Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
Wow, Blood Sweat and Tears they are like a big
deal in the early seventies, right because it was like
rock and R and B and soul who was a
singer what's that guy's name?
Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Because they had a lot of people going through that band.
I forget who cares?
Speaker 2 (01:43:03):
It was almost Alex Childon remember Alex Chilton they auditioned
a bunch of dudes and they Stephen Stills. They looked
at for blood, sweat and tears and they grabbed a
guy named David. There is David Clayton Thomas. He was Canadian.
That's him singing. But they had a lot of people
go through that band. Anyway, Brian on a blood Sweat
(01:43:27):
and Tears kick. I was sweating on Saturday, Rob. I'm
not a big sweater. But I mentioned before that Friday
was all over the place because I had to uber
everywhere because my car was at Conrads Conrads and so
it was when they call me on Saturday and they go, hey,
(01:43:48):
car's ready. I walk to Conrad's from my house? Is
it that close? It's an hour by yeah, to walk
Jesus the west Lake Conrads. I'm like, well I can do.
It was a nice day out right, So I'm like
I'll walk. My daughter like face times, she's like, what
are you doing. I go, I'm walking to Conrads. She's
(01:44:09):
like what I said, Well, how else am I gonna
get there? I might have to wait for an uber
to pick me up. Pay thirty bucks to go five.
Now I'll get some steps. You have a neighbor. I
don't know my neighbor. What I thought you you don't
know any of them? Hey, could you take me to Conrads?
What am I twelve? Yes? No, it a nice day
on Saturday. It was like mid sixties. I think maybe
(01:44:29):
low sixties. I'm like a walk. I like walking.
Speaker 9 (01:44:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
Once I start walking, I'm like that Stephen King movie.
I will keep walking. I'm like goddamn Forrest Hurst. I
will keep walking. So anyway, wherever I went, I was running,
but I was. It was warmer than I thought it was.
And I'm just out there jeans and a T shirt
and wearing my Palladium boots, so my footwear is on point. Yeah,
(01:44:54):
it took me about an hour and some change, maybe
an hour and ten to walk there. I've screw that
dipped into the askt is Celsius. But yeah, I got
a little sweaty. Now there was no blood and no tears,
but you're aware a little bit of sweat.
Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
I shouldn't even say I sweated. I became I broke
a swey.
Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
You became.
Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
I became dewey moist you were doing.
Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
I became dewey on the walk there because it was
warmer than I thought it was going to be. What's that?
Gotta have it moist right? So yeah, I walked to
Conrads Conrads, Conrads because things keep happening with my car.
(01:45:39):
You know, my car is now ten years old. You're
in that window. Man, it's got about two hundred and
twenty six thousand miles on it. But every time I
take it in, they go, Jesus, this car looks like
it's never been driven. I go, I take amazing care
of my car. I'm but I'm starting to put money
into it. That's when it because I suck. I put
about four grand in my car over the last few weeks.
It's a lot because I'm like, I don't want to
(01:46:00):
get a new car yet. I'll hit Rich Clayban up
when I need to get one, but for the meantime,
I'm like, I want to see how many miles I
can put on this car. Too grand to pop not
ma anymore. Well, but it wasn't even engine stuff. It
was like somehow my fog lights got shattered. I don't
know if it was a last time I was interstate
(01:46:21):
or whatever. So that's cosmetic. So I had pull those
and fixos a couple of weeks ago that rear shocks
had those replaced, So so far it's like nothing under
the hood, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
Yeah, so, but yeah, I walked to Conrades to get
my car.
Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
I could have picked you up, and they always do.
You're gonna drive from a dine at a bay village
to pick me up to drive me ten minutes away?
Speaker 6 (01:46:47):
Yes, now for an hour? I like walking, That is silly.
You've never walked for an hour? Yeah, but like it
was a reason.
Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
This was a right to go get my car. You
couldn't live because.
Speaker 6 (01:46:57):
I'm saying there was no other opportunity driving.
Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
I'm not walking. But you know I didn't go grab
my key and walk, got the bike, got in my car.
Yeah I wouldn't. No, no, no, I would have waited.
I hadn't walked a distance like that in a minute,
So I'm like, this would be good. It was a
Saturday midday, like around noon, right, it was just warmer
out than I thought it was. Have my have my
(01:47:23):
aarpods in, listen to some music on the way. It
was great. But uh yeah, Bryan singing blood, sweat and tears.
I was like, oh, I broke a sweat this weekend
outside and uh, but again not a lot of interaction
on the streets of Bay Village, Ohio midday and a Saturday,
(01:47:47):
I probably passed two people on the sidewalk. I thought
there'd be people walking their dogs and jugging and nope,
Ell it wasn't. Diane Keaton, didn't she speaking of headlights?
Weren't hers on high beam in looking for mister Goodbar. Yes,
they were, But I think it was after that where
(01:48:08):
Diane Keaton was like, I don't want to be that
kind of actress. You know, she was young and getting
some roles, and Godfather was huge and when he Ela
moves are huge and she's like, they're gonna do that.
Speaker 6 (01:48:22):
It's one of the best scenes in cinematic history, that
scene when she comes back and Michael has the kids
and the Godfather and she walks.
Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
In and she goes give your mother a hug, and they.
Speaker 6 (01:48:33):
Both look at him to see if it's okay, and
he gives a little nod and they go over to
her begrudgingly.
Speaker 10 (01:48:37):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
Oh the power Michael Quarterly only had allan after Ian
Watkins went to jail. It's probably pretty safe to say
that the rest of the band lost prophets yes because
they couldn't big a living anymore, and right one cock show.
Speaker 4 (01:49:01):
On one hundred point seven called the Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 16 (01:49:07):
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 9 (01:49:13):
One sixty five seven eight one double oh seven.
Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
Or one eight hundred three four eight one double oh
seven ye on three five one nine two. You want
(01:49:54):
to send me a text if you listen to us
on iHeartRadio, tell me where you do that. I'm going
to say you can always leave us messages on there
as well. Bad night if you were Cavalier's last night.
But the third of four preseason games, that last one
will be tomorrow night back here at home and the
Friendly Confines against the Detroit Pistons one oh seven, the
(01:50:18):
final in Boston last night. Regular season will begin on Wednesday,
the twenty second, that's next Wednesday in New York against
the Knicks, and then they'll play the Nets. And then Sunday,
the twenty sixth, they will come here for the home
opener against the Milwaukee Bucks. And I will have those
tickets for you all this week around three to ten.
(01:50:39):
Monsters home opener is this Friday night, so I'll hook
you with those this week as well.
Speaker 6 (01:50:45):
I'd like to add the Calves lost all four preseason
games last year and then won their first sixteen, So
I feel okay.
Speaker 2 (01:50:56):
It's not necessarily indicative of anything, right, I mean they're not. Yeah,
they're not going full till book yet there get a
long season ahead. Yep. So a press release just came
down from the city of Cleveland and the Haslum Sports group.
Rob you sent me this from Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns.
(01:51:23):
Um it's like the most surprising, but I love the
photo because it's like a hostage situation. Yeah, Jimmy and
de Haslin standing there flanking Mayor bib They're like a
son of a bitch. Yep, Crowns the Browns in Cleveland
(01:51:46):
make peace. Comma reach one hundred million dollar deal to
move stadium to Brook Park. So I said it Robin
the break off. They're not whether they not moving? Was
that made?
Speaker 3 (01:51:57):
Because no, they're giving them a ton of money. Yeah,
to clear the road.
Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
One hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
Hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
Justin Bibb announced that the city and the Browns had
reached a deal that pays the way for the team
to move to Brook Park, which is ultimately what the
City of Cleveland wanted anyway, right, like you said, this was.
Speaker 6 (01:52:20):
The lawsuits were. Of course, it's the payout one hundred
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:52:26):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (01:52:27):
So this is this is a thing from the Haslms
of payment to the City of Cleveland that's going to
accelerate the lakefront property transformation and they're going to like
take care of all of that for the redevelopment piece
so they can move the stadium.
Speaker 3 (01:52:40):
So it's just basically they're just sending their taste.
Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
But did the city have legal standing? Yeah, yeah, a yeah,
they filed lawsuits. Well that's why I was Yeah, but
a lot of those can just be like you said,
they can be a way to get someone to settle.
Well that's all this was, right, But did they if
they had gone the distance, they did they have standing.
I'll hold the Browns feet to the fire and go, look,
you guys still have legal responsibilities to the City of Cleveland.
(01:53:07):
I think everyone, because it just makes it sound like
Jimmy Haslm is like ah, right, I'll take care of
you and then we'll get our asses out to Brook Park.
I think that's what it was.
Speaker 6 (01:53:14):
I think everyone involved knew exactly what they were doing
when they filed those lawsuits. It was never going to
go to the end. It was just how much is
it going to cost me? Oh, how's fifty million? Double it? Oh?
Come on, you know I'm not going to double it.
One hundred million dollars later, done, it's over. It's textbook okay,
so silly.
Speaker 2 (01:53:35):
Under the deal, the Haslms will move forward with a
two point four billion dollar domed stadium by the airport.
In return, they've agreed to give the city of Cleveland
one hundred million dollars to help demol and not a pennymore. Now,
stop asking me for money. Here's one hundred million dollars.
Make that work. Well, there's going to be way more
(01:53:56):
than that. This is just Jude things. Oh yeah, this
is just the HASLM taste. What do you mean their taste.
He's giving the city one hundred million.
Speaker 6 (01:54:03):
Dollars and then they're going to use that to redevelop
But that's not what it's going to cost, Like, it's
going to be exponentially more than that.
Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
But will he But see, I'm real stupid when it
comes to this stuff, right, I've never been involved in
litigation or anything. So when they redevelop the lake front,
Jimmy Haslam gets a piece of that.
Speaker 6 (01:54:24):
No, no, no, he'll no, he's just going to keep
He's writing them a check a little bits at a time.
I think it's twenty five million dollars, is due by
the end of the year. Okay, So he doesn't by
the end of this year.
Speaker 2 (01:54:34):
Yeah, So he doesn't write them a check for one
hundred million, No, goch and then it's gonna be I
think he's a committing it's one hundred million dollars. It's
UH agreed to give the city one hundred million to
help demolish the current stadium, so they tear down brown
Stadium and prepare the site for future development.
Speaker 6 (01:54:51):
Everything they're responsible for is twenty five million bucks by
December first, UH. They agree to raise the current Huntington
Bank Field in downtown Cleveland and to a pad ready
state at the Browns expense.
Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
The cost is estimated to be thirty million.
Speaker 6 (01:55:05):
Beginning January first, twenty twenty nine, pay the City of
Cleveland five million honor before January first of each calendar
year until January first, twenty thirty three, totaling twenty five
million over five years.
Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
That's your one hundred million. So everybody within and I
don't mean this literally, I mean it figuratively. Everybody within
a certain radius of this deal now is licking their chops.
Speaker 7 (01:55:28):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
Yeah, it was what it was.
Speaker 3 (01:55:29):
Remember, it was the It was the business owners.
Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
And I mean, you know, if the team is going
to go out to brook Park, you know all these
businesses downtown. They got to have some to look forward to,
aren't they building a soccer stadium over there and stuff?
Speaker 6 (01:55:43):
Upon termination of the least HSG to invest no less
than two million per year over the next ten on
a mutually agreed community benefit project totally no less than
twenty million. So there's there's This is like a ten
year commitment. At least. It's going to cost them all
the money, and all they really have to do is
make sure that that thing is built ready, so that
(01:56:05):
one hundred million dollars isn't going to do anything to
transform the lakefront, with the exception to take down the
stadium and make it.
Speaker 3 (01:56:11):
Build really yeah, Oh that's a lot of money.
Speaker 6 (01:56:14):
Oh, I mean yeah, but when you think about the
total cost, you're talking about building a stadium for two
point four billion. They're trying to redo a whole lakefront. Oh,
I see that's gonna be I bet you comparable in price.
Speaker 2 (01:56:26):
I bet you. I figured that they will. The city
will go, well, here's what we can do for a
one hundred million dollars. You'll get one hundred million dollar
lake front renovation, wouldn't you. I mean, hey, here's a
week different us. Let's pave over Burke that I just
said that too.
Speaker 6 (01:56:45):
Part parties to mutually support infrastructure plans related to road
and air travel with respect to both the brook Park
Stadium mixed use project, the modernization of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport,
the development of the Cleveland Lakefront, including the redeveloped of
the Burke Lakefront Airport property.
Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
So they're gonna do something with that too. Cleveland will
drop all pending litigation against the team and its ownership.
But that photo, boy, I love that picture.
Speaker 3 (01:57:10):
He just held them up for ae hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Would you be happy?
Speaker 11 (01:57:16):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (01:57:16):
Good on him?
Speaker 2 (01:57:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:57:17):
Of course, yeah, he says he's Bibbs.
Speaker 6 (01:57:20):
Quote is I'm proud to deliver this historic deal to
the residents of the City of Cleveland. My administration, with
the Haslim support, will finally unlock the full potential of
our lake front, benefiting all residents and attracting new investment
to the city.
Speaker 3 (01:57:34):
I mean, it's better, big picture, to be in bed
with each other.
Speaker 2 (01:57:36):
Of course it is.
Speaker 6 (01:57:37):
Yeah, of course it is, and it should have happened
from the start, but instead they got to everybody just
it's so dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:57:46):
Golf carts may soon be allowed on Cleveland's streets, but
don't expect put In Bay vibes.
Speaker 3 (01:57:54):
Oh really, because already the streets are littered.
Speaker 2 (01:57:58):
With bird scooters and you know, yeah, like people just go,
I've done, knock it over. Do they have those? Do
they have those on Putting Bay or is it just
they have golf carts, Just golf carts and they're constant.
I mean, when we got to Kelly's Island, we run
a golf cart and so it's like it's a fine
way to get around. But yeah, they have fleets of
golf carts when you get out there, take the ferry over.
But you know, put In Bay, especially not so much
(01:58:20):
Kelly's island, but put in Bay. Yeah, but people are drunk,
so they're constantly chasing people down or are like drunk
in a golf cart and it's you know, running into things.
So golf carts on Cleveland streets. Mayor's proposed legislation that
(01:58:41):
would allow businesses to operate golf carts on the city streets.
All right, well there you go. That's what we need.
More uh more golf.
Speaker 3 (01:58:56):
STUFFFIC hazards, golf your favorite.
Speaker 2 (01:59:01):
Yeah anyway, Yeah, but boy, you walked down downtown Cleveland
and it is equal parts detritus, urban detritus, and convenience.
You can just walk around and go as a scooter
on its side. Maybe I don't want to walk right now,
I don't take a scooter.
Speaker 7 (01:59:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59:20):
They all get used once a week on the perfectly
even paved streets of downtown Cleveland. You'll never go ass
over a tin cup on a bird scooter because you
dove into a pothole. Golf Cart companies want to use
golf carts for short rides, similar to how an uber
or a lift would work. I don't hate it, I'll
(01:59:42):
tell you you know. I mean, aren't there petticab dudes too?
Those petticab guys. Boy, they want to whoof we are
walking out of h When we took our daughter to
PNC Park in Pittsburgh last year September of last year
to see Green Day in the Smashingpkins was her first
concert and outside Pittsburgh has a lot of petty cabs.
(02:00:05):
But boy do they see you coming you walk out
of a stadium, They're like, we're just going over the
Clementy Bridge to the hotel. I'll be fifty five dollars
because they don't want to do that. They want to
go farther than that.
Speaker 9 (02:00:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
But I think pettycab guys are probably I mean there's
a novelty to them, but I don't think there's as
many as there used to be. With the advent of scooters,
there's more people like I'll put what. I went to
a wedding last fall in Asbury Park in New Jersey,
and I took a scooter every where. They're a blast,
so fun, I'd kill myself fun one. Oh they're so fun.
(02:00:41):
That's what everybody says. And you might, but what a
way to go, Yeah, die doing what you love, having fun?
Rob right.
Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
I think being alive is fun. Well, my version of it.
I guess that results.
Speaker 6 (02:01:00):
So various golf cart Listen, I think all this kind
of stuff. I think it's fantastic for the downtown ecosystem.
I think obviously every situation like that's gonna have it's problems,
and there's gonna have to be people who figure those
things out. Most of us are walking around barely paying
(02:01:21):
attention to what we're doing anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:01:22):
So yeah, sure there's gonna be some death.
Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
There's gonna be there's gonna be somebody shuffling off their
moral coil.
Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
At the hands of a golf cart. But you know,
what are you gonna do? State law allows golf carts
to be street legal.
Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
That's the other thing. Speaking of Jersey, and we're on
the Jersey Shore a couple of summers ago. It's very
hoity toity. Obviously, these are people that have giant houses
on the Jersey Shore, but a lot of them have
those god what are they called. They're like bigger than
golf carts. They're like mobo or mojo or something something,
or they're like these they're almost like dune buggies or something.
(02:02:06):
The hell are those called? Somebody, somebody will tell me
a moto moto I think is what they're called. And
people were zipping around on o's but they're very expensive.
People like, oh yeah, golf carr They're like fifteen thousand
dollars or are you gonna put it?
Speaker 8 (02:02:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:02:23):
Thank you? Yeah, Alan, imagine a nice golf cart ride
mid February.
Speaker 4 (02:02:30):
Yeah, now you.
Speaker 2 (02:02:32):
Bundle up, you get a scarf and a hat. You know,
you can be drunk anyway, hopefully not driving, hopefully just riding.
But you know, between Cleveland getting one hundred million dollars
over the course of the next one years.
Speaker 3 (02:02:52):
And uh wow.
Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
Over the next of a lot of excuse me, yeah,
so uh is it petty? Yeah? Jitney They call them
Jitney's in Pittsburgh, but people here don't know what that is.
So I just say petty cab peed, I caab. I
thought you was saying it was petty. That might be too.
I had a very petty, petty cab driver. No, Jitney's
(02:03:18):
in Pittsburgh, but I don't know the people here know
what that is. Allan, It's less than some of the
Cleveland Browns quarterback deals we've made very sure.
Speaker 3 (02:03:28):
It seemed like a steal for Jimmy Haslam.
Speaker 17 (02:03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:03:33):
Well, and people talk about Burke. Oh it's a landfill. Yeah,
a lot of things are landfills. So is Migsfield in Chicago.
Daily pulled that up in the middle of the night.
Turn it into condos. That's why I can't believe. I've
always said here in Cleveland, I'm surprised at how little
Lakefront has been developed residentially. Usually that's the first thing
to go up. Maybe they've learned their lesson from being
(02:03:55):
further inland. With the constant condo construction around here and
they're seventy five percent vacancy rate. Maybe they figured something out.
I don't know. There's only so much affluence to go around.
They're called side by sides. I don't know what that means.
The carts, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:04:16):
Here lies Rob. He died scuting.
Speaker 2 (02:04:18):
That's what somebody says, Yo Allen. I was listening to
the podcast over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (02:04:24):
I want to know.
Speaker 3 (02:04:26):
I think the people want to know, did you eat
the Tim Misney eggs this weekend or even this morning?
Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
And if you did, are you kind of feeling it?
Speaker 16 (02:04:38):
Like are you feeling the Misney?
Speaker 2 (02:04:39):
You're righty to just sling justice across. I want to
know justice.
Speaker 3 (02:04:46):
Does he know that Tim Disney himself did not lay
the eggs?
Speaker 2 (02:04:49):
Why would I be tasting justice from a chicken that
laid an egg out at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (02:04:54):
You bet your ass.
Speaker 2 (02:04:54):
I eat those Tim Disney eggs and Saturday morning, all
six of them, rob into all six, All six into
a pie.
Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
I normally have five on a regular morning, All six
into a pan.
Speaker 2 (02:05:08):
Scramble him up, salsa cilantro, a little bit of pepper.
Oh so good, those Misney eggs, And it said right
in the cart. And when he was We had Tim
Disney on the show last Friday. He was I didn't
seen him in since Mike Polk's wedding, but he hadn't
been on the show in many years, so it's great
to catch up. A lot of people heard him on
(02:05:32):
and were blown away. My nine year old was like, you,
I center a photo. You know how many people I've
met and been around and had on this show over
the course of my younger daughters nine short years.
Speaker 3 (02:05:48):
She goes, you know Tim Disney. It was literally her words,
Oh yeah, I do know Tim.
Speaker 2 (02:05:53):
Anyway, he was kind enough to bring me in half
a dozen eggs from Disneyland and his chickens and it
says he makes them lay. I love that.
Speaker 3 (02:06:04):
It's it's too good anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
Listen, a gift not enjoyed, rob is something something something,
and so yeah, I cook them eggs right up, so good.
I can't believe you put the one now.
Speaker 6 (02:06:20):
One of them had already become a chicken. So that
one was a little difficult.
Speaker 2 (02:06:25):
The chase it, get to chase it around it. I
threw it in, put the lid on. Yeah no, I'm kidding.
Of course, you can't believe what you put cilantro on
those things.
Speaker 6 (02:06:33):
So I put cilantro and you put salsa taste the egg. Well,
I don't super special sauces on the side. Oh all right, cilantro.
I'm not trying to cover up the flavor. Wait a minute,
take a step back. You eat five eggs at the
time in the morning.
Speaker 2 (02:06:49):
Yeah, wow, protein bro whoa, because I'm not eating steak
every day and some of these guys I'm not doing that.
That's a lot of protein. That's a lot of eggs.
Speaker 6 (02:06:59):
I'm good for two three eggs max, Okay, I get
yeah scramble yeah, yahah Yeahbcause I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:07:08):
Not gonna say they're like I don't want to running
all that. So the easiest thing to do is you
put them all in and you just move them around
the pan. You scramble them. Yeah, they're in and out
in a few minutes. Yeah, yep. He a lot of eggs.
There's a kid. I hated them, so now I appreciate
their value. And I'm I wouldn't say making up for
lost time, but I uh, I blow through eggs.
Speaker 6 (02:07:30):
I like eggs. I'm a I'm a for Tata man myself.
I like to make for Tata for the week. It's
that's what I like to do.
Speaker 2 (02:07:37):
Alan. Most people call them side by sides. Aren't side
by sides two seaters? This is not like a hover
round mobility scooter. I'm talking about the golf cart, right,
four people? Isn't the side by side a two seater?
That's not what I'm talking about. I think they're talking
about like the gator type of thing, right, the side
by side? Isn't it more like that? I don't know.
I don't know. I'm talking about golf carts or the
(02:07:58):
motives which are like the big long ones are like
six seaters. People zipping around Lavolette, New Jersey. They're talking
about like the gator type thing in the side by side.
I see what they're It's not a golf cart. That's
more like the all terrain vehicle. Yeah yeah, No, not those,
because I don't think those have the bench in the
back right where two people can sit. No, you're talking
about the big cart type of thing. These are two
(02:08:19):
seats where you can buy them with four. There you go.
They're like eight grand for the cheap ones. Yeah. I
fed off of Jitny. I was on my way to
the game, high landed in a jagger bush.
Speaker 3 (02:08:31):
Oh god, UTV.
Speaker 6 (02:08:33):
They call them utility task vehicles, off road golf carts. Yeah,
big fat tires, nobbies, nobbies, big knobby tires, precious cow. Yeah,
we're gonna make you headstone side by side, get it.
Speaker 2 (02:08:48):
I'm riding around in my gat a.
Speaker 3 (02:08:51):
I flipped it over, dudes, I was like Aussie under that.
Speaker 2 (02:08:56):
It was just my feet stuck it out like the
friggin wicked Witch of the West.
Speaker 6 (02:08:59):
I was busted my eyes to get back to the
house because the socks were about to start, and I
because I was fing in my golf cat.
Speaker 2 (02:09:06):
I rolled dude brock. Yeah, but I'm better, that's right.
People are texting me word about my cholesterol. My cholesterol
is impeccable. I have blood panel every year and uh yeah,
now mind you five days a week. I'm not eating
(02:09:28):
twenty five eggs a week. I'm saying that when I
have eggs, I make about four or five. What am
I gonna do with two eggs? That's right? Really?
Speaker 17 (02:09:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:09:40):
The Allen Cox Show on one hundred of its Allen's
writing bits and Rob's rattling clips.
Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
Maybe college is a scam? The Allen Cock Show WMMS.
Why so Joe? If somebody asked me, who was that
handsome voice answering the calls? Hey, yeah, is that the
clear rat last? So yeah, Ron's gonna we don't have
(02:10:12):
a phone screen.
Speaker 4 (02:10:13):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
Hopefully that'll change?
Speaker 7 (02:10:18):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (02:10:18):
Got your last chance to grab some money here in
about seven or eight minutes. Five thirty is the last
keyword that you will get today courtesy of the Buzzard.
Bookie will start it all over again tomorrow morning with Rover.
I think nine to thirty is the first keyword, but
a couple hours prior to that, if you're trying to
get yourself to the Rush show, you know they added
the second one here in Cleveland for September the nineteenth.
(02:10:40):
That seventeenth of September is the first one Rush dipping
their toe back into touring. They have a woman named
Anaka Nilis, who's an amazing drummer who will be taking
Neil Peart's place behind the kit. And they're playing seven
cities and they keep adding dates to those cities. It's
(02:11:02):
only a matter of time before they had cities, I
would think. So two nights in Cleveland September seventeenth and nineteenth.
Speaker 3 (02:11:11):
Of next year.
Speaker 2 (02:11:12):
Rover will tell you tomorrow morning what the song of
the day is at seven point thirty, and then Stansbury
will play that song. So Rover will say, hey, here's
the song that you're listening for. Now you will get
tickets for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rush
gets into twenty thirteen. You get in whenever you win
(02:11:34):
the passes. And then on Friday we go here's who
get the Rush tickets because the band gave us five pair,
so we get to dole these out over the next year, right,
that's my understanding, correct, So that first pair will go
out on Friday.
Speaker 6 (02:11:49):
I know it sounds silly when we say the band
gave us five pair of tickets. But that's actually what happened. Yeah, Like,
there's no comps on this tour. So the companies that
do all of this stuff, the live nations, they ate egs.
There is no comps for us, so these were us
by the band. So that's why we're like, well, what
do we do?
Speaker 4 (02:12:08):
Give them?
Speaker 2 (02:12:08):
All the way? Now, Rob and I were at that
super secret announcement last Sunday with Geddy Lee and Alex
Lifson that then became Global news the next day that
they were going back on tour. I mean I just
call him Geedty and Alex now because you know we're friends.
Speaker 3 (02:12:24):
Understood Gaed and Al know what I called him?
Speaker 9 (02:12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:12:28):
Nevertheless, now you might say to yourself, Alan, wouldn't it
have been Global news just you and Rob being there?
Oh you're too kind. No, we just happen to be
there flying the w MMS flag.
Speaker 4 (02:12:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:12:44):
Russia's history in the United States is inevitably intertwined with
this radio station and the wonderful Donna Helper who was there.
Speaker 3 (02:12:56):
She was awesome, She's great.
Speaker 2 (02:12:58):
So, yeah, Friday, you'll find out if if you're one
of the five people qualified, Rover will tell you each
morning seven thirty. Hey, Stansbury's gonna play rush song. Here's
when he's gonna play it. Then you be car ten
and you will win the first pair of five over
the next year. Now I have no stake in this
(02:13:18):
rob in addition to being my cohort here is still
the program director of this radio station, our fearless leader.
My minor suggestion was, Hey, let's give away one pair
of tickets this Friday, and then the other four pair,
let's give them out the morning of the first show.
(02:13:42):
I love it. Let's do that. We're gonna stand out
in front. We'll wait a whole year with four pair
of tickets. Yeah, we're doing the Instagram contest too, so
that's another way. But we're trying to like Instagram. Am
I pronouncing that correctly? In Instagram? Instagram? Oh yeah, I
gotta look into it.
Speaker 6 (02:14:00):
Yeah, we're trying to do them that way too, like
trying to give people as many opportunities to win as
possible in different ways. So Insta, in the stock gram, Instagram,
in stack gram n s t A, I'm on kick?
Speaker 2 (02:14:16):
Is it like kick? Nope?
Speaker 9 (02:14:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:14:19):
Is it like four Square? I'm checking in?
Speaker 7 (02:14:21):
No, have you ever?
Speaker 2 (02:14:22):
Have you ever used Facebook. I've used Facebook, yes, of course.
Speaker 6 (02:14:27):
Okay, so it's similar to Facebook everything except the pictures
and videos. You're talking about the Facebook. The Facebook, Yeah, okay,
this is the Instagram all right. I think you'll pick
it up quick.
Speaker 2 (02:14:39):
I mean I only use the Facebook because I just
got a Harvard email address.
Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
That's the Hot or Not website, right, the facebooks?
Speaker 7 (02:14:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:14:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:14:52):
AnyWho.
Speaker 2 (02:14:54):
I want to know if you think this is fake.
This is from Roseville, Michigan. I very much hope it
is not fake. Don of Roseville has U in Rotary Park.
The uh dn R there, the Department of Natural Resources
there in Michigan confirm it's a genuine wildlife oddity. This
(02:15:21):
is a squirrel they're calling a juggalo squirrel. Now, this
has to be AI correct. This is an AI photo
of a squirrel that has a pattern on its face
that makes it look Now, it's not uncommon in nature
for an animal to have like a white face. I
think this is a parody site. It has to be right,
(02:15:45):
a jug the rare juggalo squirrel. Oh my goodness, I
hold Rotary Park there. That's got to be fake. But
I like where her head is. Juggalos if there is
a juggle squirrel out there in its natural habitat. The
listener who sent it to me suggested acorn flavored fago, which, listen,
(02:16:09):
it might sound crazy to us, but stranger things than
that have happened. It's gotta be fake. It's gotta be.
Speaker 6 (02:16:18):
Oh, I want it to be real, sober, because I'm
looking at all these different pictures of squirrels and they have,
you know, even solid black ones with brown tails, sometimes
with a white face.
Speaker 3 (02:16:27):
Yeah, shaky, shaggy the squirrel.
Speaker 8 (02:16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:16:34):
Ellen, there are a lot of one armed musicians.
Speaker 2 (02:16:38):
Okay, we were saying before that Rick Allen, it's a
good thing he was a drummer because that's the only
thing you could conceivably play with one hand, And people
were quick to point out all of the other instruments
that you could conceivably play the.
Speaker 3 (02:16:49):
Skin only one arm. No, but interesting, that's where your headwind.
Speaker 2 (02:16:53):
I mean, that's the first instrument I know I could play.
Speaker 3 (02:16:55):
The bugle, the trumpet, the harmonica, the skin flute.
Speaker 2 (02:17:05):
Who are you, Kenny Crumpton, Alan Rick Allen plays a
full acoustic kit now, I mean, okay, yeah, maybe he's
been doing what he does for a long time. Now, yeah,
maybe the concert triangle. Isn't that a two hander? Don't
you hold the thing with one hand, you bang it
(02:17:27):
with the other, You put it in your teeth any
brass instrument he could play? Okay, well, then I, as
has happened so frequently in the past, sit corrected.
Speaker 3 (02:17:38):
Thank you, one armed musician experts, M.
Speaker 2 (02:17:45):
I got let me set this up here properly.
Speaker 3 (02:17:51):
I got an AI song for you.
Speaker 2 (02:17:55):
Oh good. I didn't make it. I got it from
Dan and he said, I hope you enjoy this. It's
called Rob's Happy Song. You know, sometimes we'll talk about things. Rob,
since joining this show, is in the unenviable position of
(02:18:15):
trying to make me sound reasonable, and a lot of
times the way he does that is he sounds even
more unreasonable, more angry.
Speaker 3 (02:18:25):
Unreasonable is the wrong word. So people go, boy, Rob's
on one today.
Speaker 2 (02:18:31):
So he did one called Rob's Happy Song, an AI
generated song about how you, I guess, get happy, you
go from grumpy to finding the simple joys of life.
I guess it's a very short list. I can tell
you exactly what the things are that make me happy.
(02:18:51):
Let's hear what he thinks. Well, the AI generated photo
that goes with it seems to be comprised of soup
with meatballs in it, French fries.
Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
Well, i'll just play it for you here. This is
a book.
Speaker 5 (02:19:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (02:19:14):
You hear him from the gruffy s guy in the
whole town.
Speaker 4 (02:19:18):
World's gone wrong.
Speaker 11 (02:19:19):
It's all the less living a life under drest. That
list of things he hates, Cerson all the flash grewl
face behind the angry radio sound, secret simple joy is found. No,
it's funny things to see what brings me back to happy?
French fries, niptinmato soup, frozen meatball in A little kiss for.
Speaker 2 (02:19:44):
A better friend.
Speaker 3 (02:19:45):
This is where the anger is a frozen meatball in
the glop.
Speaker 6 (02:19:51):
I believe it also said a kiss for a A
little kiss for a feathered friend.
Speaker 2 (02:19:55):
Yeah, with a Duck's a duck joke on of a bitch. Ads.
That's where the anger ends, after a little kiss or
a feathered friend. Do you want to hear more?
Speaker 3 (02:20:08):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (02:20:08):
All right? The next verse begins, just I'm stopping it here.
A parrot head in a world of gray. You're not

Speaker 8 (02:21:02):
I know.
Speaker 2 (02:21:02):
I'm like, wait, well, how is Rob's happy song? That's
pretty genius and it's simplicity when they went to the markets.
Old as a happy song. But then the subtext is,
it's all stuff that's gonna get you all just sack.

Speaker 2 (02:23:33):
Are you out of breath? Good robs like a reverse
Tony soprano with the ducks. Jesus Christ, keep your ducks.
I said I like some pulp, and then she throws
the phone at him.
Speaker 3 (02:23:54):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (02:23:55):
He says, pulp. I say, like you.
Speaker 3 (02:23:57):
Said, you said you like pulp, some pulp, and she
throws the phone too.
Speaker 2 (02:24:04):
Much over here? Waist got go? He's got dam ducks?
Speaker 6 (02:24:10):
You are You're reverse Tony Soprano with the ducks. Yeah,
they were in Tony's pool. It was a beautiful thing.
There's a family of them. I have neighbors that are
inconsiderate and have ducks. That's different. Yeah, you listen to that.
You have that clip that's from my house. That's me
standing on my deck. That's what it sounds like at
(02:24:31):
my house all the time. I don't go outside. I
go out and I cook and I come back in.
Deal with those little bastards. You can't even threaten them
with the smell of your stove or even cooking duck
would do nothing. They wouldn't know, wouldn't they. They smell
(02:24:54):
their own throwing on there?
Speaker 3 (02:24:56):
Your next, your son up a pitch, Get over your
Donald Griffy.
Speaker 2 (02:25:01):
Oh was that the paving guy.
Speaker 3 (02:25:04):
I'm thinking of having the driveway regain.
Speaker 2 (02:25:07):
You're smoking?
Speaker 3 (02:25:08):
Is this a third degree? Sure's with pulp?
Speaker 10 (02:25:13):
You like it with pulp, not this much. I like
the one that says, shump pulp. She whips the phone
at him.
Speaker 2 (02:25:25):
I like the one that says, shump pulp. Some pulp. Yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:25:30):
Uh, I don't want to chew my orange juice.
Speaker 2 (02:25:33):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (02:25:33):
I would say no pulp if I I think I'm
okay with light pulp. I mean I could tolerate it.
Full pulp, I can't do.
Speaker 2 (02:25:41):
Okay, you're not a Jarvis Cocker fan champ pulp. Hey,
uh yeah, some pulp little bit? Maybe? I just I
don't need the pulp. Well, yeah, I mean I don't
necessarily because to me, like when you go to a
place like you go like Ihoperdeni's or something, it's always
like no pulp obviously because they just want to but
(02:26:01):
it's like water. I'm sure they water it down now,
but that's what I think of a no pulp, So
I'm like, it just reminds me of like orange colored
water that you get at one of those breakfast joints.
Speaker 6 (02:26:12):
And I love orange juice. I just can't drink it anymore.
I get real bad, like Odjita acid reflux. Oh you
do really terrible now, I don't know why. It's like
the one thing I can't drink.
Speaker 2 (02:26:21):
And realize there was that much acid. So you're not
drinking grapefruit juice then no, And I liked it. I
like grapefruit juice.
Speaker 8 (02:26:27):
I like it.
Speaker 6 (02:26:27):
You know, all have grapefruit juice, Like if I make
a paloma. But that's such a small amount, you know,
might drinking a big cup of it.
Speaker 3 (02:26:33):
What about tart cherry juice? I drink that every night.
Speaker 2 (02:26:38):
Never had it.
Speaker 3 (02:26:38):
Oh that's so good and good for you.
Speaker 2 (02:26:42):
Hmmmm.
Speaker 6 (02:26:43):
I like my cherry juice with no pulp. How did
you settle on tart cherry juice to drink every night?
It's good for you, No, I know.
Speaker 2 (02:26:49):
But all that, there's a lot of things that are
good for you because I like it and it's got
like antioxidants and yeah, so it's just part of your routine. Yeah,
Kiwi and cherry juice like it is delicious. It's not fantastic.
Say you got the cherries and then you do that
you extra, You have to extract them, right, you like
(02:27:10):
you're making a pie. You gotta make them shoop a tart? Yeah,
I said some tart. What I do is first I
pull the pit out of all the cherries. Then I
grind those up and then I put them back in.
I call it cherry pulp.

chiefs in Buffalo. I gotta say I was kind of
(02:28:22):
surprised that Tim Disney had never heard of Lyndy Korn.
He's I know he is, but I'm like just out
there in the ether. I thought maybe that he might have,
if not familiar with her whole ouvre, maybe he'd heard
the name Jason's in Glendale, California. One of my best
friends lives there. Maybe he's Jason's neighbor Jackson Hilton Head,
(02:28:47):
South Carolina. And we have a number of bureau chiefs
up in Canada. As well. Robin is in Toronto. By
the way, Mariner's up three to two in the bottom
of the second. Uh my Blue Jay is the only
team that is still in it.
Speaker 7 (02:29:03):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:29:03):
The Mariners got that first.
Speaker 2 (02:29:05):
Game off, so they're already on their way to There's
still a lot of baseball left to be played, right.
Speaker 3 (02:29:09):
Oh yeah, right, just the second now, worried about it?
Speaker 2 (02:29:12):
Anyway? Today is also Canadian Thanksgiving. Now, why it's on
a Monday, I don't know. They could ask why would
American Thanksgiving be on a Thursday? That seems weird. But
two our Canadian bureau chiefs, Happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully you have fun, right,
(02:29:35):
enjoy your turkey, right, and your tim bits and whatever
else mashed?
Speaker 6 (02:29:41):
I wonder if the menu is similar? You know it is,
except everyone's wearing all blue jean. Oh they are the
the tiny tuxedos.
Speaker 2 (02:29:53):
Yeah, well the men, perhaps they're They're probably having poutine.
Speaker 3 (02:29:58):
And U Canadian Thanksgiving today.
Speaker 6 (02:30:03):
Possibly turkey, Yeah, same thing, roast turkey, cam sides like stuffing,
mashed potatoes, and gravy. Popular desserts include pumpkin pie, apple pie,
and butter tarts. I wonder what is the butter tart?
A butter tart, maybe some kind of biscuit butter.
Speaker 2 (02:30:19):
I tempted.
Speaker 3 (02:30:20):
Yeah, never heard of that, all right?
Speaker 8 (02:30:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:30:24):
AnyWho, thank you? Uh if you listen on the app,
that looks good. And you know the Canadian football they
do the same thing we do, right. They got the
like the big football game on on Canadian Thanksgiving, the
Thanksgiving Day Classic.
Speaker 3 (02:30:40):
I wonder who's playing in that. Probably the Argonauts and another.
Speaker 2 (02:30:45):
Team, Yeah, the Toronto Who cares, well, you don't like
Canadian football, it's fine? Yeah.
Speaker 10 (02:30:54):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (02:30:54):
The butter tart is I've had those. It's uh, you
know those things sometimes you get the pecans on the
top for you. Yeah, shaped like a little cup. Yeah
that's what that is. Oh okay, it's delicious. Gotta have
it moist exactly with these Now, I really know I
want to.
Speaker 2 (02:31:10):
Make you're gonna go. I'm a little bag kaded. Had
butter tarts every buddy delicious. Yeah. You see a chopper
crash I did. That's crazy crazy in Huntington Beach. Boy,
they are lucky. This thing landed in some palm trees.
I don't know if there's an update on what happened.
(02:31:31):
They think a bird strike hit the tail rotor, but
I didn't see anything like that in there. There's a
bird that crosses its path but didn't come anywhere near
the rotor unless it's you know, something obviously that we missed.
If you're on the live stream you haven't seen this,
I'll show to you. It's people on the beach there
in Huntington Beach, California. Who are you know? They're at
the beach, so they're filming and there's a chopper that
(02:31:51):
looks like it's getting ready of land, and then some
happens and it crashes.
Speaker 6 (02:31:58):
I thought it was AI at first, honestly, Like watching
the video that like the way that it was coming in,
and that's what sucks.
Speaker 2 (02:32:04):
Now, everything you see you're like, okay, this is even real.
They're trying to sell me something. You know, crashes and
in the explosion, Clorox she's like, oh, he's just change
(02:32:33):
his mind.
Speaker 8 (02:32:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32:36):
I mean they took everybody involved to the hospital, a
couple of people on the ground and the pope. I
don't think anybody died, but it's pretty crazy. You know
what's wild too, is the frame rate of these cameras
when they're filming, uh helicopter. It looks like the roator's
not moving, you know, if you match up with the
frame rate, like, it doesn't even look like the roads moving.
(02:32:57):
Huntington Beach Fire Department obviously had to respond. Multiple people
transported area hospitals, but I don't think anybody died. And
you know that's quite a tony part of southern California too. Yeah,
it just says five hospitalized. Yeah, and you can.
Speaker 3 (02:33:14):
I really don't think it was any kind of a strike.
Speaker 6 (02:33:17):
It almost looks like some like an error because he
was coming down the way that it goes back up
really fast.
Speaker 3 (02:33:24):
Either something broke or someone did something.
Speaker 2 (02:33:27):
Yeah, by sanders rush to help a young boy trapped
under the wreckage there. Yeah, and here's the story.
Speaker 6 (02:33:38):
Eric Nixon, helicopter owner in Huntington Beach crash, is daredevil
known for death defying stunts.
Speaker 2 (02:33:43):
Oh at the cars and Copter's event in Huntington Beach.
There's another angle of it.
Speaker 3 (02:33:50):
So this was like a life flight or something that
was going to I don't know if you saw the
other one.
Speaker 6 (02:33:54):
It was shot like from like the helicopter was approaching them,
so shot from the left side.
Speaker 2 (02:34:00):
You saw that street.
Speaker 6 (02:34:01):
Yeah, that's that's a pretty telling one too, because again
it looks like it's just it's kind of hovering and
then shoots up like.
Speaker 2 (02:34:07):
It looks like I don't know. Witnesses said that the
road or detached from the helicopter, the rear road sitting.
I didn't see that either. I mean, but that doesn't
just like happen. Well, but if something snapped off and
maybe meant it went into the main roader, I don't know, man,
I've been in a helicopter one time when I was
a kid once. I'm trying to think, I I've had
(02:34:29):
a helicopter ride as an adult. I don't recall travel
up and I don't know if I've had a helicopter
ride when I was a kid, though I did and uh, yeah,
that's pretty wild though, I mean, it could have been
a hell of a lot worse too. Well.
Speaker 6 (02:34:43):
I think I think what they hit is probably the
best possible scenario because they kind of got hung up
in those trees and it kind of just is.
Speaker 2 (02:34:53):
This what you're talking about, the guy underneath filming underneath, Yes,
I think so from directly underneath that's the one. Oh,
the guy like flies into the trees, he hits like
the top of the palms and then those guys were
running right there. Man.
Speaker 6 (02:35:11):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's probably equally as scary, if
not scarier, being that dude filming on the ground.
Speaker 3 (02:35:20):
Yeah, do you poop your pants? Well, I think everybody.
Speaker 6 (02:35:24):
Pooped their pants, and that's a certain scenario, right, Yeah,
but I do, like if you watch that back, I
think that's what saved people, is that, like those rotors
hit those trees and and the helicopters kind of swung
and stopped, you know, and then it fell down.
Speaker 2 (02:35:40):
Man. I remember many many years ago a helicopter crash
on the roof of a hospital. There's this documentary I
used to watch called E R Rob And there were
a whole bunch of doctors rushing out to help a
life flight chopter and golly, wouldn't you know, it crashed
and pinned the doctor underneath and cut his arm right off.
(02:36:01):
Oh my gosh. Oh yeah. Did he go on to
play drums for def Leppard? No, no, no, this would
have been probably in the late nineties, early odds.
Speaker 8 (02:36:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:36:09):
By then, Rick Allen had been playing one armed drums
for a long long time, like that at the drive
in song the one arm scissor. Yeah, that's what Rick
Allen uses when he's cutting coupons or calming himself with decupaj.
Speaker 3 (02:36:30):
I have to assume that those are among his hobbies. Alan,
I'm having rough day.
Speaker 2 (02:36:37):
The only thing stopping me from steering into a telephone
pole is knowing that I have forty solid minutes of
sweethet Alan Cox Show all the way to six thirty, Right, Yeah,
that's right, you sure do. Golly, I hope that Trucker
Russ's eventual litigation doesn't jam us up for not going
(02:37:00):
all the way up to six. I haven't there anybody
yet at the FCC, nor have I, Alan. I saw
I was behind a vanity plate on a car on
my way home that said ac skin two. Maybe it
says acs kin. Maybe this is the person who's like
(02:37:23):
I consider myself. You know, we're all like what big
family people listen the show, and so I consider myself
like a.
Speaker 3 (02:37:29):
Family, Alan Cox show Kin Ken part of our ken yep.
Speaker 2 (02:37:37):
Alan. You can see in that video of the back
roader flying off before crashing.
Speaker 3 (02:37:41):
I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 2 (02:37:42):
I didn't see that, and I was kind of looking,
but that has to be what it is, right, I
would I would imagine that that's exactly what happened. To
your point, that kind of stuff just like doesn't just happen.
Something hits it and something else. But the uh, this
guy was no for flying like an idiot. He's a daredevil.
(02:38:03):
I mean you're only I guess I was gonna say
you're only a daredevil if you walk away alive. That's
not true, right, I mean you're you're if you die,
you're still daredevil. Yeah, you just work good at it.
I wonder, I wonder what you have to do to
be considered a daredevil. If you just take a chance
one time and it works out, are you a daredevil?
Do you have to have like a record? You gotta
(02:38:27):
have kind of a resume of doing some wild, amazing things.
How did you become a professional daredevil? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:38:34):
Did they release that new season of that show?
Speaker 2 (02:38:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:38:37):
I don't watch that show. Oh it was great, I
loved it.
Speaker 6 (02:38:40):
Now I wonder, Oh, man, I forgot about that because
they were making a new season, weren't they.
Speaker 2 (02:38:44):
I think so. Vincent Deinafrio was back in the mix,
and Charlie Cox Charlie Cox in no relation, Yeah, no,
I never got into Daredevil. Never got into him is
a comic book, never got into the show. Oh man,
I gotta look that up.
Speaker 6 (02:38:56):
I forgot all about that until you just said Daredevil.
Now Daredevil.
Speaker 2 (02:39:01):
Speaking of Witch, we were talking about this last week,
and if it had shown up on my phone, I
would have said, boy, the algorithms always listening.
Speaker 3 (02:39:09):
But this was on a billboard.
Speaker 2 (02:39:11):
I was driving home sometime last week, shortly after we
had discussed the fact that there were hundreds of people
stranded on Mountain Everest trying to get down right, trying
to There were storms that came through, and so all
these people that were up there. I don't know that
the conditions had gotten life threatening yet, but like I
(02:39:32):
think one guy died, so yes, life threatening for him
in that it ended. But I'm driving home and there's
a billboard on ninety West and it's one of those
We've all seen the billboards. They kind of have a
different point to them. They're like perseverance or strength or
you know.
Speaker 9 (02:39:49):
What I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:39:49):
Like this one of Whoope Goldbergs has she grew up
with dyslexia and you know, and pass it on right
or empathy or whatever it is, and there's a billboard
on ninety West for a guy named get the guy's
name right, Eric, Eric heind mayor Eric heind Mayer. See
(02:40:18):
it's not coming up for me now, and I want
to get it right because he got his own billboard,
Eric Wayhan mayor wayhen Meyer. He's the first and only
blind person to climb Mountain Everest. He did this on
May the twenty fifth, two thousand and one. He's also
the first blind person to have climbed all of the
world seven summits, a quest he completed in two thousand
(02:40:41):
and eight. So he's a very accomplished guy, motivational speaker.
He founded an organization you may have heard of called
No Barriers to help people with challenges. So all great stuff,
and they have a billboard to that effect. It says, uh,
what does it say? It says climbed Everest period blind.
(02:41:03):
That's a big reveal, and then it says perseverance. Couldn't
you tell him he climbed Everest airs?
Speaker 8 (02:41:14):
Really?
Speaker 2 (02:41:14):
I mean, couldn't you create like a capricorn one type situation?
Remember that Sam Watterson, Jimmy Browlin, Erenthal, Jones, Simpson, all
his name was, uh, you know, they fake a Mars
landing and then the government comes to get him because
you can't have loose ends. Couldn't you tell this guy
(02:41:36):
he climbed Everest, he hit a couple of industrial sized fans,
and uh, I guess he'd figure it out, right. He's blind,
He's not put him on top of a burger king.
He's not stupid. I mean, I'm just saying like it.
It feels like you gotta help this guy along. I mean, listen,
(02:41:56):
unbelievably impressive. The guy's fifty seven years old now, so
this would have been like twenty four years ago he
did all this still a young man climbed out Capitan
in Yosemite.
Speaker 6 (02:42:12):
I wonder if he's the same guy from that news blooper.
Do you remember that news blooper where the woman says
the guy he's like and he climbed a mountain, but
the crazy part is he's gay and she goes he's
blind blind?
Speaker 2 (02:42:26):
I remember that?
Speaker 6 (02:42:27):
Yeah, Yeah, I wonder if it's the same guy, Like,
how many mountain climbers that are blind are there like this?
If he's been around forever, it's probably the same dude.
There's no description on this video that I'm finding here.
Speaker 15 (02:42:41):
Right after the break, we're going to interview Eric Wyhan
made who climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
Speaker 3 (02:42:48):
But he's gay.
Speaker 2 (02:42:49):
I mean he's gay.
Speaker 17 (02:42:50):
Excuse me, he's blind.
Speaker 6 (02:42:52):
So we'll hear about that coming as we heard of
the break, And the best part is watch that dude's
face when she says it, like literally here his butthole slam.
Speaker 2 (02:43:00):
Yeah, it's all kind of choppy here this video. It
looks like Channel seven. It's ald New York.
Speaker 15 (02:43:04):
Yeah, right after the break, we're gonna interview Eric Wyhan Mayor,
who climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
Speaker 17 (02:43:12):
But he's gay, I mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind.
So we'll hear about that coming.
Speaker 3 (02:43:18):
I mean it's no Bernie and NASAs keep fing that chicken.
Speaker 2 (02:43:21):
But it's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (02:43:22):
Well, you gotta wonder how do you mess that up? Though,
Like you're looking at the prompter. He's gay, oh, blind?
That doesn't feld the same way.
Speaker 3 (02:43:31):
Well, it would have been funny if the guy had
just played along, been like how.
Speaker 2 (02:43:35):
Could he climb him out? If he's gay? Why not
let things? Anybody can do anything they want. That Shirpo
was working overtime. Ah M, all right, well yeah that
but there's a billboard for this guy. And again, I
(02:43:55):
don't know how long it's been there, but I just
noticed it. And my first thought, who uh, because I'm
a juvenile, Why couldn't they just tell him that he did?
But I mean, he like what he was. He went
blind as a baby, so it wasn't like he was
born blind. He developed something that made him blind. But
(02:44:23):
holy cow, you feel like a real Putts. You're walking
around with all your senses doing nothing. I'm not doing anything, rob.
This guy's climbing Mountain Everest. It's from Princeton, New Jersey,
and there's a documentary film from twenty twelve called high
(02:44:44):
Ground and it's about veterans who are climbing Mountain Everest,
and he is the guy leading the expedition. It'd be
pretty wild, though, right to your point, you tying in
daredevil your other senses after summoning so many mountains like that,
(02:45:07):
his senses must be so tuned into all of the
kind of the variables when you're up there. Holy cow.
I mean, you know, imagine somebody introduces you to this guy, like, oh,
he wants to lead an expedition to climb Everest and
somebody kind of you know, gives him a look. He's like, oh,
I've done it a bunch of times. He's one of
(02:45:29):
only one hundred and fifty mountaineers to complete the Seven Summits.
Now that was in that was twenty years ago, but
the only blind person to do it. Holy mackerel. And
he's gay. At he's gay blind blind, he's.
Speaker 17 (02:45:47):
Right.
Speaker 15 (02:45:47):
After the break, we're going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayer,
who climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
Speaker 17 (02:45:53):
But he's gay, I mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind.
So we'll hear about that coming as.
Speaker 3 (02:45:59):
We heard of the brain. Okay, that's uh, that's Floss
way ahead of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (02:46:03):
Oh, a big mistake there. Let's hear it.

Speaker 2 (02:46:29):

Speaker 7 (00:48):
As oh okay, Hi, howdy, howdy, howdy, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Good afternoon, greetings, Welcome guys. My name is Alan Cox.
You just heard it, but I'll say it again. Why not?
It is my name Rob throwing around? However, I want
Rob Anthony's here too.
Speaker 7 (01:28):
This up?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Man. Your camera looks like you're tilted or something. Am
I tilted? I don't know what's like you're at it.
I could just be sitting tilted to thirty degree list.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Let's see here like, maybe maybe it's that, Maybe it's
the maybe it's that.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Maybe it's the concavity of the lens.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is that better? I don't know. I wish that we
could zoom in to a greater degree on these cameras
because they're too wide for my taste. But whatever, that's
who cares, right? What am I gonna mess around with that?
Speaker 8 (02:05):
For the.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Few hundred people on YouTube? Come on, I've got broadcasting
to do. Any who he'd like to join us, We'd
love to have you along. Two one six five seven
eight one double O seven eight hundred and three four
eight one double O seven three five one nine two
sent me a text there. Alancoxshowed dot com for everything else.
(02:28):
You can find our YouTube channel if you want to
watch the show live. I still didn't get to see Tron,
you know, here at Stansbury talking about the Tron movie
all last week. I think he went to an advanced
screening of it. Now, I was all excited to see
it this past weekend, although I heard it flopped. People
aren't going to see it, and I'm not gonna say
(02:51):
I'm surprised. I mean, I really like those Tron movies.
But they dole them out like every fifteen years, and
so I still think it appeals like a narrow band
of people, right. I don't know that anybody got into
Tron on the second one. I think if you saw that,
you had a certain age to watch the first one,
(03:12):
and then you went along for the second one, which
again was twenty ten Tron legacy. I think Olivia Wilde
was in that, and Jeff Bridges has been the connective tissue,
thank God, through all of them.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And this new one looks really cool.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And of course I do take all my cinematic advice
from Dan Stansbury, so when I hear him, give it
the accolades. And so I was planning on seeing it
after the show on Friday Rob I had purchased a ticket,
but my car was in the shop. I had my
car at Conrads and so I'm ubering around Friday uber
(03:51):
to work here. That morning, I was talking about the
Jankye uber that I took in the guy who had
like the Hyundai Sonata who picked me up as like
his bump was falling off. So Friday after the show,
I was here getting some things done post show, and
at the end of the week things really kind of,
you know, pile up for me with respect to things
(04:12):
I have to get done on Friday. So I was
going to just Uber from here to the movie. And
by the time I got done, I left here probably
walked out of the studio probably a quarter to nine
on Friday night. Jesus Uber this. I don't know what
was going on with Uber. It the app just wasn't working.
App wasn't working, and so I'm like, okay, So I'm
(04:34):
standing out there on Euclid and I'm firing up the
Uber and it's just finding somebody and finding somebody and
finding somebody. I'm like, okay, well that's not going and
then he can't find me, or it keeps showing me
the map and then reverting to like something else or
crashing the app. I don't know what it was. And
so I'm like, look, it's Friday night in downtown in Cleveland,
(04:57):
all right.
Speaker 8 (04:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That might sound like the punchline to a joke, but
with respect to Uber, it's not like there aren't going
to be any people driving around downtown, right. Things are
starting to get going around eight thirty nine o'clock in
downtown Cleveland, So there's going to be people driving around.
So I'm standing out there in euclid trying to get
an uber because I'm up against it, trying to go
to this movie. And then I go, well, maybe nobody's
(05:24):
on this side. So I walk through the building to
the Prospect side, which is one way, and I go,
I'll try to get an uber over here. Spin and
spin and spin super thing is not working. I'd never
had that happen before. Do you have Lyft? So then
I google Uber outage, wondering if people are talking about it,
you know, don't have lyft because at that point I'm like, okay,
(05:47):
what am I going to download Lift and then sign up?
And then I'm sure I have some old Lift account. Yeah,
but whatever, all my stuff's in Uber. So then I
go over to the Prospect side. Nothing nothing, nothing, nothing,
And I finally get an uber and I see the
guy pass me. Okay, he apparently doesn't know, you know,
(06:07):
there's some construction going on here on Prospect.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's like one way.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So if a guy doesn't clock you right away, like
he circles the block, that's fine. Whatever. Tick tick tick,
And I'm just going to this movie. And the guy
finally picks me up. Super chatty, which is fine, it's okay,
but I'm wiped. Man, It's Friday nights when to go
and watch this movie? And I'm in the uber and
I'm headed to the movie and I go, God, damn it,
(06:33):
I got my backpack I carry you know, I got
my backpack. I came to work. I'm leaving work. I
got my backpack. They're not gonna let me into a
movie with a backpack. And so I'm like, I can't
go to this movie. I got my backpack. I'm not
gonna leave it here. I was like, well, maybe I'll
leave it here, but I'm already in the uber. I'm like,
I want to see this movie, but it's not the
most important thing on the planet right now. I'm like,
(06:54):
They're never gonna let me in this movie with a backpack, right,
So I tell the guy I go, You say me,
I go home. So I I uh a movie ticket
that I paid for and didn't use. Uh And and
I was so busy yesterday and get a chance to
see this movie. So again, wow, wah. I'm not crying
about it. I'm just saying that I was looking forward
(07:16):
this weekend to seeing that movie.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You really couldn't get in a full weekend.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
No, I don't. I don't think so. I mean if
I walk into a movie with a full backpack over
my shoulder, they might look. I think they'd be like
bro inside me. I mean yeah, but I don't want
to be going through my bag either. I mean it's
so I was like, uh, this is not like it
hadn't even occurred to me. And then I was like, well,
I'll leave it here. I'm like, well no, because then
(07:41):
I got an uber back to work because I'm uber
and everywhere because my you know, I didn't get my
car till midday Saturday, and so, uh it was a
pain in the ass. So I went home, had some food,
sat down, watched the John Candy documentary. I started it Amazon. Yeah,
(08:03):
I like it a lot, but no tron for you boy,
and I still really want to see it. So I
don't know what to say. But I did read this
kind of flopping, which does not surprise me. But what
bums me out is that means it's not going to
be in the theaters for very long because bigger movies
always new movies coming. I never even got around to
see it in spinal Tap two. It was in theaters
for like forty five minutes and I never got around
(08:26):
to seeing it. And if a movie doesn't do well
if it opens wide, especially a movie like Spinal Tap two,
you want to talk about a narrow audience, you know,
they PLoP it over at the theater Lee for another
week and then it's gone, which is what happened there.
So Tron might not be long for this world. I
did try to watch The Naked Gun, the Liam Neeson one,
because that's streaming now.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Oh no, I seen it doesn't sound good. I'll go
back to it.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'll probably have to buy it again, because now when
you buy these movies are like you got thirty days
to watch it, but once you started, you got forty
eight hours.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Like okay, it's four bucks whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And I heard that it was really funny, and it
might be maybe I wasn't in the right mindset. It
was not scratching me where I itch, how much do
you get through about a half an hour? Oh boy?
And then I was like, eh, I mean, I just
I had other things to do.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
But I was like, ah, the only thing I was
worried about with that movie was we saw everything funny
in the preview. That's what I was thinking, and I'm
hoping that's not the case. Well, what worried me was,
oh my god, is the Naked Gun not funny to me?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Now? Because that movie came out when I was like
in high school. I'm pretty sure the Leslie Nielsen ones,
But have you seen him since I saw one? Not
like I always very thought, Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
I must kill Papshmir. I still laugh at that, you
know what I mean, whether you got to also wonder, like,
am I laughing at the nostalgia of it? Or do
I genuinely still find it funny because I'm thirty minutes
into this new Naked Gun, and I don't think it
(09:50):
has anything to do with with Leslie Nielsen not being
Liam Neeson's funny in those things. He's got great dry
sense of humor. Pamela Anderson still looks good, and you know,
so I'm getting all the jokes. I mean, it's low
hanging fruit with those kinds of movies. But I don't know.
I'll go back to it, I'll rent it again, I'll
finish it. But maybe it was me and I got
(10:11):
to watch that because I was like, man, this has
not hitting me where I wanted it to hit me.
Right now, Allan, all you really need from the Tron
movie is a soundtrack. Well, we're playing I was listening
to the Tron soundtrack last week, right, we're playing that
nine inch Nail song. That's a pretty good encapsulation of
that score and the soundtrack. But I really do want
to see that movie. It's just, you know, it might
(10:33):
be another one that I just end up watching streaming.
It's one that I want to see in Imax three D.
You know, that's a movie I would really like to
see in that. There's so many movies I'm surprised how
many movies now they released on Imax. You're like, this
did not have to be an Imax at all. This
could have been on a regular screen, would have been
perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But yeah, I was thwarted, Rob.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I was thwarted by a digital application and by my backpack.
But that's a me problem, none of them problem. Still time,
still time. The Ellen Cox Show.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
On one, of course, he stays.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Calm when someone steals his stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
From the company fridge. He needs that energy for when
he poops in their gas tank.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Allen Cox on one semms.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
On that subject, Aaron texted me from Akron, I'm so
glad you're on today. You're an island of reality in
an ocean of diarrhea. We just played them on two
hours to midnight on Saturday night, as a matter of fact,
ocean of diarrhea. Yeah. I guess I didn't realize because
(11:54):
I've had so many people hit me up. I don't
know how it escaped me that today was Columbus Day
or whatever we call it. Now. I know Trump's jerking
himself off because he said we're calling Columbus Day again
whatever whatever I call it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
But uh, and so I guess a lot of people
are off, is that? What's up?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's not a holiday though, is it.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's not a company holiday for this company. No, right,
it used to be. I think, Well that's what I
thought him, like, we take company holidays off, because why
wouldn't we? Who am I trying to impress? But a
lot of people are off today, So no, we're happy
to be here.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
Ye.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I love when we catch crap for that too. Well,
while you guys off again, it's a company holiday. Yeah,
I just wouldn't take your days off. Well, I didn't
used to.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And then I'm like the only sucker on the air here,
and so I'm like, who am I trying to impress?
What am I doing? Everybody else is, you know, dicking
around and I'm in here entertaining Northeast Ohio. Rob, you
know what I mean. I mean, that's the game I'm in.
But yeah, if there's a company holiday, yeah I take
it off. You take it. Man. Naked Gun is free
(12:55):
on Paramount Plus. Maybe that's where I watched it. Maybe
I'm thinking I paid for it, but I didn't. I
So I know what I rented over the weekend because
then I after I watched the John Candy documentary, I
got into like a John Candy thing, but I wanted
to go the road Less traveled with him, and so
I rented JFK because he's in I mean that, everybody
(13:18):
is in JFK, the Oliver Stone film from the nineties
with Kevin Costner is the lead, and John Candy is
in that playing a more dramatic role, and so and
I had never seen the movie JFK Movies thirty plus
years old. Never seen that movie JFK. It's like three
hours long. Got to the John Candy part and stopped.
(13:43):
That was enough for me.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Yeah, it was a little see Little John Candy four
hours of watching a movie.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah yeah, so naked gun. You're right, that's not what
I paid for. But now they don't care. At the movies,
you would have had no issue with your backpack. Well,
it's good to know now. I guess for future reference
if I if I go straight from work. But I'm
like I it was just a rare confluence of events
that don't normally happen right tow my car, And so
(14:08):
I was kind of at the mercy. I just assumed
you walk in with a backpack, They're gonna be like,
what is happening? But maybe not. Brian in north Ridgeville
had an interesting thought. You were talking about the rapture
last week, Alan, and what if we have it all wrong?
What if the rapture actually happens every time, but only
(14:30):
three people are saved and the rest of us are
left behind. I mean, that isn't interesting with respect to
the rapture and the people who believe all evidence of
the contrary that it's gonna happen. Does it in the
original Good book, does it denote that thousands and thousands
(14:50):
of people were you know, they didn't have a real
good grasp on math back then. You know, they had
people living to nine hundred years old and things like that.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I think I said that last week or whatever.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Was Yeah, I think it was like, what if it's
just a couple of people, you wouldn't even notice they
were missing some shoes.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, you did say that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm like, well, certainly somebody would be around and notice
turn around and you know their cousin's clothes are piled up. Yeah,
well who knows. Yeah. And with respect to people who
are like actually kind of good hearted individuals, you know,
people most likely to succeed in a rapture, those are
the people that the rest of us would probably most
(15:31):
likely want to be assumed into the afterlife because they
can be insufferable. Boy. I mean, when you're surrounded by
that much incessant positivity, you know, these days they call
it toxic optimism ROP, which sounds like it sounds counterintuitive,
but I think they use it to refer to people
who are so upbeat that they almost walk around with
(15:52):
blinders on. I always say, there's no downside to optimism, right,
If you're wrong, at least you've got a good thought
on the thing, and if you're right, well, well done you.
But it's hard to stick with that. Alan, my backpack
ruined my life for years, so I totally understand signed
it Door the Explorer. Listen, I the Dora's backpack ruin
(16:15):
her life, ruin her life.
Speaker 10 (16:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I never watched it when my older kids were younger.
They never got into Dora. So I know the broad
strokes of it. I know there's a swiper, no swiping
huge in my house? Was it Dora the Explorer backpack? Backpack? Again?
Like it was such a phenomenon that, like I know
all the references to them. I don't remember my kids
(16:39):
watching it. My ex wife sent me this photo. She goes,
this came up in my memories, you know, on Facebook
and things like that.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
A lot of people's.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Phones do this now too. Well, they'll they'll feed you
old photos that'll come up in your memories. And she
sent me this photo of me and my older daughter
when she was probably three, and it's me and it's
clearly the fourth of July because we're standing on this
deck and I'm holding a sparkler and it's dusk, and
she's just cute as can be, and I'm kind of
(17:08):
you know, a kiss in her cheek or whatever, and
I look amazing, Rob, these memory photos are gonna be
the friggin' death of me. The death. Probably a lot
of people feel the same way I look at this picture.
I'm like, God, damn, I was a peace man. What happened, well,
time happened, life happened. But I don't need to be
reminded by Mark Zuckerberg that I used to have something
(17:32):
going on. It's bad enough I have mirrors in my home, Rob,
I don't need this sexless nerd. I was a dipping
in Hell's Yes, Dustin in Georgia. I'm trying to listen
to you on iHeart, but it keeps skipping. Well, it's
just getting its cardio. Dustin great Oh. I think he
(17:56):
might have figured it out. Banks and schools and Post
of Physics are closed today. It is a federal holiday.
Yeah again, not a company holiday. I don't take. If
we were taking federal holidays off, we'd never be here.
But you know, like on MLK Day in January, we're
always off because there's an afternoon Cabs game and so
(18:18):
that I don't know if I mean that's federal holiday too, but.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
We wouldn't have a show anyway that day.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Now that rob is for people who are already looking
into twenty twenty six. That's a little bit of information
from me to you. Oh I made it run that
Kevin Gates show on Saturday night.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
There was no Steely Dan mash Up accompaniment, But what
a good time it was. It was me and everyone
else in Cleveland at the show. Jesus age Christ. Did
I send you the video or did I send to
somebody else video of the line? I didn't send you
what you did? Yeah, I was gonna say. I got there.
(19:09):
The Kevin Gates show was at Jacob's Pavilion. I don't
know if it's been a long time since he's been here.
I know he did the Agora like ten years ago,
and it was the first time seeing him for a
lot of people, because halfway through he's like, who's this
first time Kevin Gates? And half the place just went nuts.
It was probably sold out. But I get down there
(19:31):
and the line is all the way to the end
of the It's all the way through the parking lot
at Jacob's Pavilion, around the fence, down the Street, and
I'm like, okay, I'm gonna come back. So I dip
into the harbor In because I know I can always
sit there. They have malort. I'll have a fine time
(19:52):
love the harbor In. They're always very accommodating to me,
and so I'm just kicking it there. I'm flying solo,
and so I'm like, I'll go back, And about half
an hour later, I go back and the line isn't
much shorter, but it's moving and it Here's the problem
with rap shows. And I don't go to a ton
(20:14):
of them, but every so often I'll go to because
they can be insufferable because the thing is, you got
forty five scrubs before the headliner comes out. So you
got these dudes and again there's no you know, you
go to a music show obviously with gear and instruments
and things like that, and there's a lot more set
(20:34):
up the downtime in between rap show, you just got
a DJ and some video screens and it's just a
constant parade of people coming out. They'll throw their logo
up in the screen so you know who they are.
But they're scrubs. I mean, you know, the Ball Brothers
were there remember the basketball the basket ball brothers, Lunzo
Ball and D'Angelo Ball. Yeah, one of them had a
bona fide hit. But he goes by Jello g e
(20:56):
l O. And so he's one of these guys that
comes out and again I think he had a couple
of hits and the crowd was digging it. But it's
like his flow is whack. I mean, they were hot garbage,
so at least from my you know, perspective. Well, so
once everybody got in there, it was a lot of fun.
But it was like rap shows, man, It's just people
coming out and coming out and coming out, and you know,
(21:17):
I know that, especially for shows like that where there's
a ton of people in line. They're waiting for people
to be able to file in and see it. Like
I understand, but holy Christ.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Is Lonzo Ball in it because he plays for the Caves.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I thought Lonzo Ball played for a for a hornets
or side. He played for the bull got traded to
the Cabs.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Well I know that, but I didn't think he was
here anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I don't. Maybe he came out because they were in Cleveland.
He was there, yeah, because at one point he goes
is the you know what's what's Jello's name, DiAngelo DiAngelo
ball I think is the main bat okay, and he goes,
there's a bunch of them. It's a family affair. Yeah,
but there's like two of them that are you know,
and so it must have been Lonzo who came out
with him, you know. And rap shows too. By the way,
(21:59):
it's just karaoke, you know. It's a lot of fun,
but it's karaoke. They're like rapping to their own track,
not backing tracks, like their whole song. So it's fun,
but it's karaoke, right at least Kevin Gates. His is
a bit more instrumental, and not instrumental, I mean literally,
it's more melodic. There's a piano on stage. He would
(22:22):
have people come out occasionally, and he had two guitar
players with him, so he's got musicians as part of
his set. And his music is a lot more kind
of there's more of a melody to it rather than
just like straight bars and beats, and it was a
lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
He dedicated song to his cousin. I don't think he
did no.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I'll tell you what though, look for your boy in
the back of a lot of tiktoks and snaps at
that show, because white girls love filming themselves singing along
at concerts. They love it. And I was in the
back of by pure coincidence, because I'm standing there and
(23:01):
girls in front of me they are going bah nanas
and I know him in the background of their tiktoks
and their snaps. So it's gonna be a lot of
people going, who who is that? So hope you weren't
picking your nose or in it. I wasn't. I'm standing
in their arms, crossboy. I'm having a good time. But yeah,
it was for all the build up by me. By
(23:22):
the way, I couldn't wait for that show. A lot
of fun man. But yeah, when he was like, how
many of you this is your first Kevin Gates experience,
a lot of people were going nut. So I'm not
sure how he blew up because he's been around for
a while.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I'm not sure if he blew up.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You know, TikToker social media, I don't know what it is,
but he's It's not like he's some Johnny come Lately.
It's funny though. One of the openers is like anybody
born before the two thousands, I just want to make
sure there were some old mother efforts out there. I'm like,
that's all. Now.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
At a show, Hey, were you born in the nineties, I'm.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Like, nineteen seventy one, back year?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What's up? Whole place just stops.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Oh yeah, you up scratch it when he turns and
looks at you.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Now, there were a lot of old brothers there. I mean,
it was you know, it was a good time. It's great.
Another guy goes if we can find this here. He
goes up, Hey, right here, I didn't set this up.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Hey, if you here was somebody you loved tonight, put
your hand over their heart and say I love you.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It was an actual line. I loved it because it
was you know, Kevin Gates his music is like it's
maybe that's part of his appeal is that it's much
more confessional than a lot of rap.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You know, there's like feeling to it, and there's some heart.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's not they have there's bitches and drugs and all
that stuff too, but it's very confessional.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I think he's kind of turned a corner.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It used to his material used to be a lot
kind of you know, harder than it is now, and
now it's more if it's a wrap, but it's like
the little R and B to it.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
Yo, how many people out here with somebody in love tonight?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
All right right there? Put your hand over her heart?
Speaker 8 (25:09):
You?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Oh, how romantic I was standing.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I was standing. I'm in the ga part there in
front of the stage, and so I'm not right up front,
but I'm not all the way to the back either.
I'm kind of in the middle there, and it's nuts
to butts And at some point two or three songs in,
something falls on us, me and the guy next to me.
It seemed I don't know where it came from, but
(25:34):
something was falling. At first, I thought it was confetti,
because it was a lot of small pieces of something,
and then I looked down and I thought that it
was I saw what had fallen near my feet, and
I thought that somebody was like I thought maybe there
was some local rapper that was just flinging his flyers
into the crowd or something. I didn't know what. I
looked down. It's ten dollars bills and I go, oh,
(25:57):
those have to be fake. And I reached down and
they're real. So I still don't know where that came from.
This girl behind me practically knocked eight people over. She
stands up with like two fistfolds of ten dollars bills.
You got to cover those tickets, I guess. But I
was like, oh, these have to be fake, and I go, oh, no,
these are real. So I still don't know where I
got two of them, rob I bent down, I got two.
(26:21):
I got two tens. So I'm like, all right, I mean,
you can't even get an uber for twenty bucks anymore.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
But still, hey, it was a good show.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
But I lo, oh, man, hey, if you're here with
somebody you love, make sure you say I love you,
bitch romantic.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I was great as advertised.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Dynamite two phones like third to the last, right, You say, what,
that's the beauty about rap shows two is they're doing
like two minutes of their song and then on to
the next song. Yeah. When I saw M and M
headline Austin City Limits years ago, it was unbelieved. The
(27:04):
first and last time I ever saw Eminem was at
ACL and he's just plowing through his hits. He's not
doing full songs. He's smart. All these guys are smart.
Do ninety seconds of your song and move on. That's
why you got Kevin Gates. His set list is like
forty songs long because he ain't doing full songs. Smart smart,
(27:26):
smart smart smart. So it was a lot of fun.
Did he play Thinking with Madi? He did? He did
Think with Madi? That was like the third one in
Oh nice, yep, did Thinking with Madie?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
You'd want the full version of that?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Did stutter?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Did?
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Really? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
A lot of good stuff, a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
So funny.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
I got so many dms over the weekend. Hey are
you going with Alan to the Kevin Gates show?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You? No? Absolutely not, I am not doing that now. Yeah,
Kevin Gates got sober.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That's why his music changed. Okay, yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
When he's up there, when he's kind of talking in between,
you know, it's all about positivity. He's in a suit
and got a hat, look like you going to church.
But he was great. It's fantastic. The whole thing was
a lot of fun. Although one of the weirdest interactions
I've ever had was a guy standing next to me
and his girl is behind him, and he's dancing the
(28:27):
whole time, arms in the air and whatever, and then
he kind of and he's smoking. I mean everybody there.
I didn't purposely didn't bring anything with me to smoke
because I'm like, I'm gonna get high at this show.
And this guy next to me, he like passes me
thing or whatever. I'm good man, thanks, and then he
kind of elbows me again and again it's we're all
(28:51):
packed in, so I'm just thinking it's that and he's
dancing whatever, and I don't like to get in people's way,
so I'm just kind of, you know, doing what I
always do. I just kind of stand there and my
head and he almost me again. I look over and
I'm like, what's up? And he and he starts poking
his peck. He's like jabbing his right peck nearest me, jabbing.
(29:11):
I look at him, like you all right? He's jabbing
and I go, what bro? And he goes, she just
grew behind me. I go, yeah. He goes, she want
to talk to you?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
What, like your girl want? What is happening here?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I'm like, I'm not if you guys are trying to
recruit for a threesome here, I ain't down. Yeah, she
looked like Robin Gibbons though. She talks to you.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, She's like, what's up? I go, I'm good. Whatever's
happened to that?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
I go.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
She's like, what's up? I go, whatever's happening right now?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I'm good, I'm fine, thank you. Let's just have fun.
I don't know what was happening right because they probably
hammered or high who knows. But I'm like, you don't
know what you're talking to, right, I got twenty dollars
in my pocket. You know who you're talking to. I
got too, ten the floor, I got two tents. They
(30:04):
came right out of the roof. I picked him right
up up on the floor.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I sure did the Allen Cox Show.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
On one hundred point seven.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
Alan, you have been described by your enemies as evil, insane, manipulative.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Who are you call the Alan Cox Show two one six,
five seven eight one double oh seven or one eight
hundred and three four eight one double oh seven, three
five one nine two?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
You want to send a text Allancoxshow dot com for
everything else? You can watch if you want on our
YouTube channel. Hey, how about those Cleveland Browns? Goodlike?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, oil boy, there were a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Of Steeler fans.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Boy, we were out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
The what light appearance did I do? When the Browns
are on the road.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Rob was there too.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
We were at the Town Tavern in Copley, which on
my way there, I had, you know, this past summer,
I had been at town tavern and I knew I
was going to one in Copley, but in my brain
I was thinking I was going back to Union Town.
So on the way there, I'm like this thing, right,
I hadn't been to the town Tavern in Copley before,
I'd been to the one closer to Green Ohio. It
was a lot of fun. Yesterday ended up doing a
(31:23):
bunch of shots. Did Yeager shots Yesterday wrote they just
got me. They got me in the right spot. I
think you had just left, and I ran into a
couple of people that I knew, and yeah, I found
one other co conspirator who was in a Jaeger mood,
and I said yes, because I hadn't had one in
(31:44):
a long time. So that means I left just in time.
You left just before we started doing Yeager I would
have gotten you in uh. But yeah, Browns Lows again.
I heard Sansburg kind of lamenting the Axis and os
they lost Big two. Yeah, Yeah, Calves lost Big two
(32:07):
and the Celtics. The Calves have yet to win a
game in the preseason, one thirty eight, one oh seven
to the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
And they're all still zero and zero. So it's fine,
this is the time to lose games.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Let's hope that they don't get used to that feeling, though,
and just carry it into the regular.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Season, right, that is the hope. But we'll assume that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
But again, I mean, aren't you trying to win games?
Speaker 7 (32:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I mean, I know, now's the time to get out
the crab.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I know, I know everybody's kind of shaking the dust
off and nobody wants to, you know, get hurt before
the regular season.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Like I understand, it's a long season.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Anyway. Celtics over the Calves yesterday. The Pistons will be
in town tomorrow night of Day twel It'll be a
seven o'clock tip here on MMS on the Iheartradiot you
can listen there as well. The regular season will begin
on the twenty second, one week from Wednesday. The Cavs
(33:11):
won't be back home until Sunday, the twenty sixth. They
will host the Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee over the Cubs in
the MLB playoffs. Boy, that's a tough one too if
you're a Cubs fan. A grant of the Cubs have
a World Series under their belt from almost a decade ago.
But the Brewers in the I mean that's a you know,
(33:33):
you go right up the lake to Milwaukee there, that's
a hardcore rivalry and the Brewers top the Cubs to
win the NLDS.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
There and better team this year. I mean, they're just
a better team all the way around. M hm.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
That's gonna be. This is gonna be an interesting year.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Like the Blue Jays, the Brewers, like, this is going
to be a great, great off postseason.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
So excited my blue Jays just still it. Yeah, I
can't wait. There's all my video here? Oh, who's all
my video? Oh? I know, hold on, hold on, Brewers
tap the Cubs, uh five three to one and uh
the happy there in the Bruce City. You know they
(34:20):
call it the Bruce City Road because of Laverne and
Shirley and uh listen, it's very exciting for the Brewers fans.
They're in Mealy Waukee. Cubs down there, file out Carson
Kelly crowded a short orties he makes the play Paul
gave over the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We'll play for.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
The Pettance Ella Bryan sub kind of liquid all over
each other.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Frank though, oh parsoling water.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All right. You know, my middle brother is a huge
Milwaukee Brewers fan, so he boy, he had a hell
of a week. My brother had his birthday on Friday,
same day as David Lee Roth. Dave, are you one
year older? All right? Great?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
And the Brewers win.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
The Mariners beat the Tigers in fifteen innings that game.
Win until about one am. Mariners in Game five, they
had load of the bases, full count home team. Oh
imagine that, you're playing for fifteen innings in front of
(35:45):
your you know, hometown crowd. Nothing better than that, and
they go nuts two probably each. He ro Suzuki and
(36:11):
the Seattle Mariners. He probably was at the game, probably was.
And now they're already up one game to nothing on
the Blue Tam.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I'll tell you Game two is tonight at Toronto.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
It is going to be no walk in the park
for your brothers Brewers against those Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I know this is going to be that.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
I'm telling you, this is the best a l CS
NLCS in a very time.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah, this is gonna be great. Brewers Dodgers Game one
is tonight, uh, Mariners Blue Jays Game two tonight, marin
is one last night, So my Blue Jays are the
only team still in it. Wouldn't it be fitting, however,
for this to be the year that a Canadian baseball
(36:56):
team wins the World Series?
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Right?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Wouldn't that be a poke in the too? I don't
know somebody. We might be a poke in the eye
to somebody, how so I don't well, because we've you know,
Canada one of our with Trump and everything. Yes, Canada
one of our most innocuous allies, and he's managed to
wipe his ass with everything that you know, the Canadian
(37:19):
team wins the World Series, but very exciting series, by
the way. Speaking of the Cox out, yes, well we
call him cox Ow. That kid that brought us those
album art that's pretty cool. Is this kid named Cody.
He's got a company called Spin Shelves, and he was
kind enough to bring us a couple of things. He
basically makes art out of vinyl albums, and he made
(37:42):
a bowl for us that had an Alan Cox show
sticker at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
And then what was the other thing, like a like
a Shelfers copy.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
There you go. It was like it was like a
vinyl album with a curved lip on the end, you know, like.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Hold a piece of music if you were playing or whatever.
What do you call those things.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Like an easel like your music on it? Yeah, spin shelves.
And he's just like a dude with like a regular
job and he kind of does this in the uh
uh in the UH as a as a side hustle
or I don't know what. He's a nice dude. Was
it like shipping and receiving or yeah or something like that. Yeah,
nice guy. Like they say in the Lifestyle rob shipping
(38:23):
not receiving. Important to remember that or both in this case. Yea.
And of course I don't want to bury the lead
because I know it's all anybody's talking about. The Las
Vegas Aces win the w NBA Championship, rob Rob, the
(38:43):
over rob those Las Vega. The Phoenix Mercury didn't even
win a game. They got swept. Imagine you get to
the finals of any sporting endeavor and you don't even
win one. That sucks. But I know you worked hard
all season and you get swept. Now, the Las Vegas
Aces are a bona fide WNBA dynasty rop so if
(39:09):
you were an Aces fan, now, I had big money
on that game. Unfortunately, I bet fifteen thousand dollars on
the Phoenix Mercury rop ooops, So the wrong way on
that one. I get it.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I thought, this is the game they're gonna they're gonna
win one. I'm betting the farm on it.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I bet them to win one game. So it didn't
turn out great for me. But hope springs eternal once
we get the Cleveland Rockers back and we've kind of
finally got some local gals to root.
Speaker 6 (39:42):
For in those one hundred and fourteen people in the stands,
boy today get the time of their lives.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
What a game. Well, and again, I don't want to,
if you'll pardon the pund I don't want to dunk
on the ladies because it's kidding. I know it's low
hanging fruit, but it is funny when the final score
is ninety seven to eighty six. You know, we're just
so used to triple digit scores that it's easy to
get spoiled. But the Las Vegas Ace has won their
(40:09):
third title in four seasons, and that's no small thing.
So yeah, they swept the Phoenix Mercury. And again, the
only reason I pay attention to the Phoenix Mercury is
because that's the guy who supposedly is going to be
buying the Chicago White Sox. These Ishbia guys, this guy
and his brother who are like got dad's money and
now their hedge fund dudes or something, and so they're
(40:30):
buying the Mercury, and you know, I think one of
them is a partial owner of the Diamondbacks, and the
other brother, not to be outdone, is gonna be grabbing
the White Sox from Jerry Reinsdorf. That's the wheels are
in motion, and so listen, he's gonna have an uphill climb.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
With a White Sox. Was Sophie Cunningham there in attendance,
That's so.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
I know that's all your interest in the WA n
ends and begins with Sophie Cunningham.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I think she she released some statement that she wasn't
watching any basketball after she was hurt. She needed like
a mental healthing. So I'm assuming she wasn't there, but
that would have been the story for me. Sophie Cunningham
was in attendance at the final WNBA Finals game and
uh oh, let's see here Las Vegas one. Yeah, oh cool,
(41:24):
that's how that story should have been written.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
You're like, why did they put the Sophie Cunningham story
so far down the line.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
They're like, well, she wasn't playing or anything.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
That's okay, doesn't need to be she's fantastic. Well, she's
in recovery now. She tore her mcl yep, and she's
from Missouri, the show me state, and so she will
probably be back home in Missouri convalescing, right.
Speaker 6 (41:52):
I mean I sent so many letters offering to help
with her rehabilitation. Not even a courtesy reply like I, hey, really,
thank you for looking at for me, Rob, I appreciate that.
I appreciate you being a fan. Nothing, not one reply.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
See, this is the problem with all of this outsized
interest and focus on the WNBA. Now, all of a sudden,
they're too good for you, Rob, Right now, all of
a sudden, you know, these women were languishing for decades
and now now look at them. You're trying to get
some information to her. Hey, just want to let you
(42:27):
know you got fans out here. We know you play
for Indiana when you're from Missouri. Just shades of difference
between there in the great state of Ohio. But you've
got fans out here and nothing from her, is what
you're saying.
Speaker 6 (42:42):
Yeah, I wrote, I really love your work on the
court with the court when you play for Google's Indiana
Indiana fever right, you are a fantastic point guard. I
think thank you for all of your contribution. You are
(43:05):
inspiring to us all. Please let me know if I
can help in your rehabilitation, your friend, Rob.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Now, this is where it probably would have been beneficial
to you had you introduced a little fib yours Brown's
coach Kevin Stefanski and you attach a photo right, because
she's probably got team doctors and family doctors that can
(43:36):
attend to her in her recovery. Doesn't need somebody else
helping her with that. She needs emotional support. Well, you
could have been her. You could have been her emotional support,
Rob emotional support Rob. I kind of like that, Yeah,
an emotional support Rob ps. I'm known regionally as the
(43:57):
clip rattler. I don't I left that part out, Yes,
And I don't know. I don't know if this is
the week.
Speaker 6 (44:08):
That I would want to be running around telling people.
I look like Kevin Stefanski too. I think that that's uh,
that's not a good thing this week. You don't want
water balloons full of poop hitting you. People are just
starting to call for his head now, man, Like I
just I don't know. It's so funny how how sports works.
It's true or doesn't work or doesn't work. He still
(44:30):
says he was surprised by the trade Joe Flacco. He
was surprised by That's what That's what the rumors are.
I don't know if he actually said it or not.
That's what That's what I've read is he actually had
nothing to do. It's like, oh my god, a lot
of dysfunction in there.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Well, we will be back out on the twenty sixth
for the next butt light football face off COXAU pregame.
Speaker 6 (44:54):
Twenty six is when they will be at Gillette Stadium
taking on England Patriots.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Should be a good one and uh, I'll be out
at the Where am I going to be on the
twenty sixth? The Happy Moose in Manor? You ever been
to the Happy Moose? No, sir, but I think I
will be the Browns win. That Moose is going to
be exponentially happier. You what, I think I'll be at
that one too. I believe need an extra set of hands.
Speaker 6 (45:21):
Oh good for you.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
You mean since they fired all of our promotions.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Yeah yeah yeah, do you have hands?
Speaker 7 (45:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (45:30):
Yeah, that's why I tell my go I'm happy to help. No, no, no,
it's okay. I'm like, I'm not above helping out. No,
it's fine. I used to do that.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
I used to be a promotions director.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
You know, it was easy. Got out there yesterday. I'll
set up quick. Amy and Jason are awesome.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
Yep, they sure are.
Speaker 10 (45:49):
So.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yeah. Anyway, those Browns, I don't know what to tell you.
If you are a fan, well, I don't have to
tell you anything, you know, if you're a fan, uh,
you know what's up. It would be fun to see
them win, But as of yet, no dice. Well they
got one.
Speaker 8 (46:09):
Mm.
Speaker 6 (46:10):
Well but yeah, I mean it's it's it's it's gonna be.
I mean, they're home what the Dolphins this week? Right,
it'll be tough.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (46:20):
So if everything goes to plan. From Stansbury's predictions before
the season even started, he said, if we're gonna see shador,
it's gonna be Week seven. Against the Dolphins at home,
and we're not the Jets. We are not the Jets
literally have yet to win, which I could not love
more than ten. I know, oh, I love it so much.
(46:40):
Yesterday was the worst two minute drill in history. Everything
that they do it's so good. So that would be
That'll be the game, right like the Battle of the
Bad on November ninth. That's the Jets at home against
the Browns. Yes, yeah, they got it. I don't know, man,
they got It's like they have everything to win. They
(47:02):
have the tools to win. Just find ways to lose.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
I've been calling the players tools might be frowned upon, rob.
Speaker 6 (47:09):
Oh, I get it. I'm like, when did I do that?
I'm like, oh, the tools.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
Well, the Browns will be playing my Chicago Bears at
Soldier Field on December the fourteenth. That should be another
easy win, all right for who the brownsh Hey Bears
are two and two. Bro, I don't know what you're
talking about. You can have your one in five Browns.
I'll take my five hundred.
Speaker 6 (47:33):
It's only because they got a bye week five two
and three if they didn't. All right, let's see how
they do tonight against Washington that's you.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
I know, that's a real test.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
The three and two Commanders, the former red Skins rob Yeah,
right on Columbus Day, No less wolf.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
Good thing they changed the car show on one.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Let's be real with your teacher is hot. Just be
careful if you're homeschooled. Double Now back to the Alancom
showm Our Little Ode to Parma, Ohio from many many
(48:33):
years ago.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
It went crazy viral at the time.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
And you know, Parma, Ohio brom a lovely town. You know,
some beautiful people live there, real mouth breeders live there too,
like any other town in America. But you know, for
a long time, they're claim to fame to some degree,
has been that. You know, they're like the seventh largest
city in the state of Ohio or something like that.
(49:02):
But they're hanging on to that like grim death because
the area where you live out there in Medina County,
they are exploding. They are. And I can envision a
future in which perhaps Medina, Ohio will leap frog Parma.
Speaker 6 (49:17):
Oh I don't what's the I don't know the population,
but I think they'd have a long way to go, right.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
I don't know a lot of people out DEREMDNA.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
But irrespective of what happens out there Parma, for whatever reason,
they have gone national again because another one of these
things where somebody's giant inflatable pumpkin makes a run for
it and gets out there, and they gotta somebody gotta
(49:46):
chase it out there Parma Heights, Ohio. This USA Today
post of the video police wrangle escaped punk.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
Pumpkin inflatable wrangle.
Speaker 6 (50:00):
It right, struggle with them?
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Where does that go from?
Speaker 1 (50:06):
That's pretty much in pursuit.
Speaker 7 (50:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
We're trying to de cleave this, not really, we're currently
struggling with.
Speaker 11 (50:16):
It right now.
Speaker 9 (50:17):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
Right. I mean, again, it's the property of the person
who owns it, but I think once it leaves your property,
it's the property of the city. They're trying, you know,
they're wrestling a deflated pumpkin. This happened in my neck
of the woods just last year. Another story that went nationally.
I guess people are really desperate for content. But out
(50:46):
where I live in Bay Village, this happened right across
the street from my daughter's school, a house on the
main drag there on Wolf Rode. Who this I don't
know who lives there, but they're known seasonally to have
giant figurings kind of tethered to their lawn.
Speaker 8 (51:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
They got a giant snow man in the winter time,
they get a goddamn the pumpkin Halloween time. I mean,
in their slight defense, it is across the street from
a school and so visually it probably makes for some
interesting conversation with kids.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
But this is the city Bay Village, Ohio, sixteen thousand people,
and in this job you meet just about every one
of them. I'm not a cop, but he is on
the job.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
Yeah, and Channel five boy, at the time, they were
really going in on like some dragnet vibe or something,
you know, And the inflatable pumpkin gets off the lawn
and into the street, and the Bay cops get called out.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
You know what you'll come up against. But this is
a doozy. You're on patrol and get word of a
giant pumpkin in the street. Those are my streets. You say,
you no want to be Jack o' Lanyard's gonna sell
you the hard work of tax paying citizens. Wolf and
Sadler Rose, you know, the drill, giant inflatable wise guy
and good intentions go south when the wind blows north.
One bounced then too. Before you know what, this kind
(52:02):
of thing happens. For the love of everything on the
green Earth. Tie these things up when the wind blows.
Where lucky Bay Village PD was up to the challenge,
turns out no challenge at all. Wipe that smile off
your face, fella, and thank the hard working men and
women of the Bay Village Police Department.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Waw See, listen, you gotta have a kicker story, right,
you gotta have something fun there to talk about. But
you have to also imagine if your local law enforcement
in either of those towns and they go, hey, you,
we got an inflatable pumpkin on the loose. Can Frank
get it? Yeah? No, you're out? Yeah again, Rob. I
(52:42):
think it's fair to ask, as the good citizens of
Parma Heights, Ohio, or last fall, the fine men and
women of Bay Village, Ohio, my neighbors, Rob, when will
we be freed from the scourge of runaway inflatable gourds? Right?
(53:03):
These are available at home improvement stores. Where As far
as Halloween goes, I think Halloween and a Christmas are
easily and obviously the two massive decoration holidays, right, people
just don't seem to go ham like they do like
a Thanksgiving. They don't really go crazy like that. You
(53:25):
might get a ham, but they're not going ham on
the decorations Halloween, Christmas. Those are your two big ones,
opposite ends by the way of the spiritual spectrum, if
you will, and so the yin and the yang of
what people are into. But you know, long gone are
the days where you might have like a plug in
plastic pumpkin on your step. Now it's nineteen foot tall
(53:48):
skeletons and.
Speaker 6 (53:49):
Yeah, that one in freaking Bay Village was the size
of a truck, huge, biggest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
Massive. I got a guy a couple of doors down
from me has got a giant werewolf on his lawn,
and you know, and I'm a problem with them, like
better you the me.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
And it looks like a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
And I don't really care that much about Thanksgiving or
Halloween rather, but I mean, these inflation, who are you
trying to impress with a giant inflatable pumpkin that that
gets loose of its tether? I meant the very least,
just tell these cops that the pumpkin is here illegally,
they'll get that thing under control and thirty seconds flat.
Speaker 3 (54:26):
That's flying all over the place and come on, obnoxiously big,
obnoxiously big.
Speaker 2 (54:33):
Now again in their defense that the people had this
in their yard out there in Bay last year, a
massive front yard. Some people. They got a yard the
size of a postage stamp, and they're trying to pack
it with They got a gage and they're recreating a cemetery.
Speaker 3 (54:48):
And again it's their law and they should do what
they want to with it.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
But then you run into the problem where you'll have
people driving through the neighborhood. And obviously this happens much
more frequently at Christmas than at Halloween, but halloween's catching up.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
Where people will stop to take pictures.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
Unlike main roads, right, people are driving along, and boy,
whoe to you if you end up behind one of
these people and they slam on their brakes take a picture.
They're like, oh, sorry, I just want to take a
picture of that. Oh see, it looks like a skeleton's
coming out of the ground. There's a hungus inflatable pumpkin.
(55:31):
I eat a photo because it's so big.
Speaker 6 (55:34):
Sorry, Oh, come on, sorry, it's like a werewolf, but
that's real.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
We got to email last week that they're going to
bring back the iHeart Halloween Party. Jesus. Now, we used
to do these back in the day we were when
we were in Independence, people would bring their little kids in.
The kid and that's what this is for. You can
always tell the salesgirls that just had kids because they
send an email.
Speaker 6 (56:01):
Hey, we said, bring back the Halloween party. Okay, it's harmless.
It's fine, except there's like nine people who work here now.
So when we were in Independence, you know, we had
seventy five people or what one hundred people you know,
working there.
Speaker 3 (56:15):
It was kind of cute.
Speaker 2 (56:16):
Little kid's walking around and it's you know, it's well,
it's harmless, is what's harmless?
Speaker 6 (56:22):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (56:22):
Cute? It's listen. When I was on the ear in
Pittsburgh and my son was like eighteen months old, right,
we did it there. I brought him in and he
had a tigger costume and people are like, oh my god,
that so much detail. You put orange makeup on his face.
I said, no, I didn't. He eats sobny goddamn strained
carrots that his face started to take on an orange hue.
(56:46):
Parents of babies know this. If you feed them a
lot of strained carrots, if that's what your baby ends
up being into, they will get an orange. Look, I
assume that's all Trump eats. But you know, so people
will bring your little kids in. Okay, it's fine, but
we get it as an invitation, you know, an email, right,
(57:09):
an email invitation? Will you be attending or no?
Speaker 6 (57:11):
I'm like de Kleine, Oh we'll be there because it's
happening during the show.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
Well that's the thing too. We will be sequestered in here,
which is where I would want to be, but it
will be very loud out there, which under normal acoustic
circumstances wouldn't be an issue. But these studios down here
not entirely soundproof to the degree you'd want them to be.
Speaker 6 (57:36):
I would say, not particularly sound proof might be even better,
because in order for it to be not sound it
would have to be somewhat soundproof, and they're not that either.
Speaker 2 (57:49):
Well, anyway, look at this is set for when next
the Okay, so the day before Halloween PP.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
It's fine, Yeah, four o'clock and it's.
Speaker 2 (58:01):
Fine, is it? It's fine? Yes? I mean it doesn't
really if you don't have small kids. And that's why
I say, you can always tell one of the salesgirls
just had a kid. Because they want to bring back
the Halloween thing. It's perfectly fine when my kids were
little er too, you know.
Speaker 6 (58:17):
Treating pumpkin decorating and other Halloween festivities. Costumes incourage, that's
a whole thing. Well, while we're doing pumpkin decorating again,
daycare again, it's not I have nothing to do with it.
So they can do whatever they want to do. It's
completely fine. What we run into, however, is colleagues in costumes.
Oh Jesus, Kennedy came in as like a dentist or something.
Speaker 2 (58:40):
I don't remember that. No, I'm in here in this
box just the way I like it, from nine am
or whenever Nolan's done, right, I'm in this room from
ten am to seven pm. And that's the way I
like it. I prepare for my show, I perform my show,
I do my my postgame or whatever it is, and
(59:03):
I get the hell out. If I have to take
a waz, obviously I gotta go out there. It's not
gonna bother me. It's just we haven't done this in
a while. And I'm curious why, Well, I shouldn't say
I'm curious. When our colleagues have kids, they go, oh,
we should do this. But it's perfectly fine. It's not
going to get in my way. I was just surprised
(59:25):
to see it.
Speaker 6 (59:26):
I want to put something over the door, like a
do not enter caution tape, something to keep it separate,
and I'll just I'll pee in a jug for the day.
Speaker 2 (59:35):
We're gonna put a multi page print out of a
d pic on that door there, so when the kids, yeah, what.
Speaker 6 (59:47):
Is that at Charleston Shoe.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
No, No, it's not that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (59:53):
This party is open to all kids, family and close
family friends. Can't wait to see your little ghouls and gobblins. Listen,
I can't be hypocritical about it. I think Halloween should
be for kids.
Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
I mean too, I think it's one more thing that
drunk grown ups stole from kids.
Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
You nowhere else it should be in your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
How about not here?
Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Well, that's hot, Listen. I have no problem with this.
Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I have when my older kids were younger, and other
cities I've worked at I have taken part. Now again,
it was at the behest of whoever I was married
to at the time. But you know, that's fine. It
doesn't it doesn't negatively affect me. It's not gonna bother me.
Speaker 10 (01:00:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
It's not like they're posting up in here. Oh it's fine,
it's just fine. It's perfectly fine. Wait, our show will
be half done by then. And because their little kids
going to be walking around, you know, because obviously they're
gonna do it towards the end of the day because
it's only an hour left in like the business day
when they do it, So that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Like I understand it.
Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, what.
Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
Do you mean you think that four o'clock is like
that's when they're gonna because they was an howard left
in their business day. People are gonna clear out of
here like noon to go get their kids ready for
this stupid thing. Oh, there's gonna be nothing done that day.
Oh come on, the kids aren't gonna show up in costume,
and mom and dad are gonna stay here working till
they arrive.
Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
You're gonna get okay, they're gonna come with.
Speaker 6 (01:01:20):
Well I thought maybe they Yeah, okay, oh look kids,
here's the pumpkin decorating table again. That doesn't affect me,
doesn't affect me. Whatever they go out there in the breaks,
they gotta get water. I I gotta step around a hey, pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Decoration, don't look a gift horse. There might be some
yummy punch. Nope, okay, Hey, there's a thousand dollars to
do with whatever you see fit. You can throw an
anti Halloween party if you're a Halloween scrooge.
Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
I am not a Halloween screoge.
Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
I'm not either. I'm just saying like, I feel like
it should be the domain of children, and it's one
more thing that adults have taken for John Halloween. I
have an amazing idea. Because we will be on the
air that day during the iHeart Halloween Party, I think
it would be very nice of us to contribute in
(01:02:14):
some small way, and so I think that you and
I should reply to that email. Hey, we can't take
part directly in the festivities, but we would love to
provide the musical accompaniment to this party and the idea.
I can't say that the idea came to me completely
on my own because d Rock, who was one of
(01:02:36):
our VIEWA chiefs down in El Paso, Texas, who listens
on iHeartRadio. He sent me a link on YouTube called
spooky farts for Halloween. Awesome. Yes, so I think that
we should tell them, hey, leave the audio the background
accompaniment to Rob and me, and then they won't know
(01:03:02):
what they're gonna get. They figure it's gonna be kids
bop or something. And then we blow this over the
speakers in there while everybody is having fun and walking
their kids around. And now sure this is only four
and a half minutes long, but they're screaming in the back,
(01:03:22):
so it's not as It's not like little kid Jaunty Halloween.
I actually don't know who this is.
Speaker 6 (01:03:29):
For me, spooky farts.
Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
There's nothing spooky about the farts. Do you oh right, Wow,
somebody ate a whole pack of Starburst issue there? You
kind of like it? Do you think, oh wait what? Oh?
Do you think that somebody's really getting tortured in there?
(01:03:58):
Do you think that the kids would be, it's, frightened
by this. Do you think that they would find it humorous?
It depends on the age.
Speaker 6 (01:04:03):
Do you think that it would be received in the
spirit in which it was given by us? But you
can tell by some of the parents out there they
wouldn't love it. Okay, oh my god, they're playing foofs well.
Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
But also, you know what's going to happen is some
of our colleagues will be bringing their grandchildren, not their children,
their grandchildren.
Speaker 6 (01:04:21):
That'll be part of it too. Oh here's a good
question for you. Do we actually have to, like, if
there's trick or treating? Does that mean I have to
come in with a bag of candy for kids? I
will put you leave it to me.
Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
I will put a plastic pumpkin full of candy outside
our studio. Do something like Now, it will be actually
mouse traps in a ball, but they'll be the humane ones.
Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Oh that's less fun.
Speaker 6 (01:04:46):
Yeah, it would be like I think, let's do like
a dental floss toothbrushes.
Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
Nope, I am going to at great.
Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
It would be a very laborious process, but I think
the end result will be fantastic. I'm going to fill
a plastic pumpkin full of creamy peanut butter. I like that.
I'm gonna tell the little kids, hey, just come by
and grab a scoop in your hair, grab a handful,
hand it to mom or dad, and be on your way.
(01:05:18):
I like that. Idea. Yeah, why, I don't know, because
it seems funny. So I'm I'm certainly not being ba
humbug about it. I'm trying to find a way that
we can insert ourself into the proceedings in a way
that is.
Speaker 6 (01:05:38):
Representative of this program. I'm not ba humbuggy either. I
just think it's weird. I'm sorry. I know I get
the you're a dick, you're a screwget that's I just
don't understand why it's necessary.
Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
Like what what you get?
Speaker 6 (01:05:56):
You have a job, You come to work, like you said,
You're in here from the second Nolan leaves until you
leave for the day. You do all your stuff, you work,
you get a paycheck.
Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Game over.
Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
I don't need Like, dude, if I want to go
to a Halloween party, I'll go to a halloween party.
Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
You shouldn't be one here, but I have to go to. Well,
first off, I look at it this way. Office halloween
parties are not a weird thing. So it's not like
they are, you know, blazing some kind of trail. It's fine.
Second of all, we don't all do the same job,
and we don't all have the same demands of our job.
You know people who work out there, they are on
a much more flexible kind of thing, So I don't
(01:06:31):
begrudge them that I just happen to be in here
because I have to be in here, and this is
where I like to be. This is Rob the Magic
Habins Rob. Of course, everybody's texting me. Now watch one
of those kids steal here celsius. Oh, it'd be so good.
Cotton Ball says, I should just put a basket of
celsius outside the studio door.
Speaker 6 (01:06:51):
Hey, kids, here's free celsius. How do you feel about
mango lemonade? Imagine giving a little kid a can of celsius. Yeah,
just one is to share it between all of them,
bouncing off the walls.
Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
I mean, I don't know that parents come in screaming
at me.
Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
What they can't handle fifty micrograms of chromium.
Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
This is the first time your kid, I know you
said that you've seen this before. I've not, in my
thirty years of radio, ever seen a Halloween party for kids.
Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
Oh, every station I've ever worked that has done it.
Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Never. Yeah, and I mean listen, I feel like you
might be in the minority on that one. Maybe I am,
Maybe I am again. I just I don't know, dude.
Speaker 6 (01:07:29):
I always feel like there's there needs to be a
place that you work in, a place that you do
other stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
I agree theoretically, but I'm not going to be a
dick about it, like you know what I mean, Like I'm.
Speaker 6 (01:07:41):
Gonna sit in here a bitch about it but not
doing anything. Yeah, we are fighting a losing battle on
that front.
Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
So I think anything that anything that makes people feel
good for the day or whatever.
Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
You you do, you especially not in my face. It's
not going to be you know, especially after you smoke
a bunch of people. That's probably where we're getting caught.
The candy budget. We can do it this year and
buy the pumpkins because they let everybody go. Yeah, so
now there's extra money to buy pumpkins and candy.
Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Well, who knows. I don't know how those bud paints
do you paint?
Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
They're not gonna let the kids carve pumpkins, right, it's
pumpkin decorating, so they'll just paint them and do stupid
little things like that.
Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
So fingerpaints. Alan get a bunch of those Ferraro Rochet
gold chocolate wrappers and wrap a bunch of Brussels sprout heads.
This is what I'm doing. I swear to God, this
is what I'm doing. I'm doing something like this, because
what do they do. They just go door to door
or whatever however it's set up, and they'll just grab
(01:08:35):
something and throw it in their bag.
Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Right, they're not gonna inspect it when they get home.
Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
These kids will all have a gold foil wrapped Brussels sprout.
Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Don't get home or what a lot of people do.
Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Because this party is the day before Halloween, they'll set
it to the side because they're preparing for Halloween proper. Right,
they go trigger treating the next night. Yeah, it's not
like this is the extent of their trigger trading. This
is the let's go see where mom and dad work portion.
They'll set it to the side and then they'll invariably
forget about it. But all the time that gold foil
(01:09:13):
wrapped Brussels sprout will be in that bag, and give
it enough time, it's gonna start to stink and they
are not gonna be able to pinpoint that smell. And
even though I have just given away the game publicly here,
I don't know that any of those people are listening.
Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
I'm we're gonna hear about this one?
Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Should I have? So it's it's between bowl entire plastic
pumpkin full of creamy peanut butter, full of pennies before
those are phased out, or even though it's labor intensive,
I'll do the work if the joke.
Speaker 6 (01:09:56):
Is good enough, individually wrapped, individually wrapped.
Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
I'm not trying to make it my sick.
Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Just kidding.
Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
Where am I going to get all the dog turns?
Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Rob? You have a dog? Yeah? I know, I have
two of them. I can help.
Speaker 4 (01:10:13):

Who just rolled over the Calves last night one thirty
eight to one oh seven. They're at the what TD Garden?
The TD Garden Calves back here at home tomorrow night

(01:11:47):

That will conclude the preseason games. Regular season will begin
a week from Wednesday, the twenty second, but the Calves
will have their home opener on the twenty sixth.
Speaker 3 (01:12:01):
That following Sunday. That's a six o'clock tip off.
Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
I will have those Calves tickets for you for Opening
Night every afternoon this week around three ten. I will
also hook you up for the Monsters Opening night. They're
playing the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of Pennsylvania, probably about twenty minutes.
Those tickets are four to ten all week and what
oh these Rush tickets. Everybody's asking me about Rush tickets.
(01:12:25):
You might have noticed if you tried to buy them
that I think the apps scooped them all up and
they're trying to sell you sing. I went today for
the presale. I signed up last week. I got the
code with Rush for the pre sale, the artist pre sale,
because I don't think they go on sale everybody else
until the seventeenth. That's this Friday. The general on sale
(01:12:49):
for the Rush tickets this Friday. So I get on
the artist pre sale and I get my code and
I'm sitting on it. They send me the code last night.
Did you do all this? No? I mean, I know
we have hookups and things as well, but I'm just
saying I like going through the process. I like buying tickets,
so I know I have them. So I get the
(01:13:09):
pre sale code last night and they go, hey, pre
sale starts at noon tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
Meeting today. Okay, so noon today.
Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
I go. First couple of times I put in the
pre sale code, it says invalid. I go, well, that's
not right, because that's the code. So I finally get
to it. It's down to like single tickets for seven
hundred and thirty eight bucks apiece in like the mezzanine, right, Amber,
hit me up about this.
Speaker 12 (01:13:34):
Good afternoon, Alan and Rob. This is the Amber listening
from Stowe. Just want to call and let you guys know.
I did sign up to get pre sale tickets for
Rush today, waited in the virtual line. Tickets were seven
hundred dollars. So I hope you guys give away some
next year.
Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
Hate the show, bye, We're giving them away now. So
what you have to do is listen to Rover Rogers
Morning Glory. Well yeah, best type type. Oh it is
just oh god, it made me laugh so hard.
Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
I never realized that g was right there next to
the count.
Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
I like my poking pecks. So yeah, anyway Rover has
he will tell you what song Stansbury is gonna play
for you. So seven thirty tomorrow or over, I'll say
Stansbury's gonna play this song and he tells you when right,
he goes, okay, so he tells you when Stansbury is
gonna play it, and then call her ten you get
(01:14:26):
tickets for the rock holl And you're qualified to get
tickets for Rush, right, And so the end of this
week we will let people know who won the rush tickets.
Speaker 6 (01:14:35):
Yeah, like they gave us the band gave us five
pairs of tickets. Yeah, there's no this is a no
comp tour, right, so we're kind of breadcrumbing them out. Yeah,
I mean, like, what are you gonna do, right, Like
you can try to hold on to some like it's
just just got to do whatever we can to give
him away.
Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
We're not gonna do a pair of day you know.
Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Yeah, right, because the show is next year, right, It's
it's eleven months from now.
Speaker 6 (01:14:58):
So the problem I think with how they did this
presale thing was obviously anybody can sign up for that. Yeah,
so now that basically just makes it like a general
on sale anyway, yes, right, yes, but I think what
they do is I think they hold percentages of tickets
back for when like there's x amount of lotted three. Yeah,
so when it goes general on sale, I think if
(01:15:19):
you're quick or if you're good at however people scoop
up tickets, you can probably get some for a decent
price because I think there's going to be a huge
chunk that are going to be released.
Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Yeah, but I think they were partnering with a particular app. Yeah,
and so it took you to that app and then
try to sell you seven hundred dollars tickets, right, and
I do like what a lot of the apps do
now is they show you the view that you would
have in that seat. Because they didn't do that for
a long time. You were like, well, I hope this
is good, you know, unless you at a particularly venue memorized.
Now they're like, here's the view of the stage from
(01:15:49):
your seat. And I almost did it because when I
first put in the pre sale code and it took
me to it, you could still get pairs of tickets,
and so I'm like, oh, hey, there's seven hundred and
thirty bucks, but fine, I'll get a couple of tickets just.
Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
To have them, right.
Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
And then I went and then it like rebooted, and
then it was down to single tickets.
Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
I'm like, well, I'm gonna do that, he said by myself.
Speaker 6 (01:16:13):
Yeah, if it comes down to that, I'll buy a
ticket in the three hundreds or two hundred or whatever
it is up in Loudville and just up a Noisetown Noisetown,
Yeah and whatever. I'll spend whatever I spend for a
crap ticket and just stand up. You know what I mean, Like,
that's if it gets to that point, that's what I'll
do because.
Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
It will be I mean, I'm going to be a
lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (01:16:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
They added the second show, so we're getting two nights
here in Cleveland in September.
Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
It'd be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
It's more out of curiosity than anything else on my
part to see Anaka Nillis playing drums with them. It'll
be an amazing show. But obviously we thought we'd never
get right. Yeah, So anyway, all this week listen to RMG.
He will have the song of the day for you.
He will announce when Stansbury is gonna play it for you.
(01:17:02):
He will make the announcement at seven point thirty and
then call her ten get you into the Rock Hall,
and then we'll tickets. You don't get inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame unless you're really good.
Speaker 6 (01:17:13):
That will be an amazing prize if we could just
get at once a day we get a listener inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well they'll
probably still get in. Before Boston. I was gonna say, yeah,
they probably will. You know, I forgot that def Leppard
was in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yep,
(01:17:33):
they got in right before COVID.
Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
They got in that class of twenty nineteen and they
were inducted by Brian May of Queen. I don't know
that that was here in Cleveland.
Speaker 13 (01:17:46):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
Maybe it was twenty nineteen. I'm trying to remember because
I have gone to most of them here in Cleveland
since i've been here. Maybe the last year in Public Hall,
or the first year of the Realm of Fijo, the Zombies,
(01:18:14):
Roxy Music, radio Head. That doesn't feel like it was here.
Uh but anyway, I don't remember. But def Leppard got
in that year. They just got their star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame, which you kind of pay for
or you're sponsored.
Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
Well, that's where you put like your handprints in the okay,
so what are they gonna have all?
Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
No, that's Graeman's Chinese Theater.
Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
Do they still do that? I don't know. I thought
Hollywood Walk of Fame is when you get your star
put the star was confused. Chinese theater is a different thing.
Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
They'd have to like space it out differently because there's
only nine arms, nine hands, right, or would he put
his foot hand in twice or one foot next to it,
Well put his twice. Now, this is quality old school
def Leppard nineteen eighty March a song called Wasted Barely
(01:19:18):
sounds like that.
Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Rick Ali still is too an remember Wasted. Their major
label debut was called on Through the Night. It was
a semi truck in space, I don't know, but they
were still finding their way, and then they would have
(01:19:40):
an album called High and Dry, and then of course
they exploded with Pyromania. Yeah, that was the one coincided
with the birth of MTV and it just could not
have come at a better time for them. But they
did get their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
and John bon Jovi was there to extoler their virtues.
Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
Fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
Speaker 13 (01:20:05):
I am John bon Jovi and I am a def
Leppard fan. We first met in nineteen eighty six on
a festival show in Germany, and I quickly realized that
these guys are going to be my friends. They had
just come off the huge success of Pyromania, with monster
songs that define what rock radio would sound like, and
(01:20:26):
bon Jovi was just releasing our third album, Slippery when wet.
Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
We hit it off immediately.
Speaker 13 (01:20:32):
Hanging out with Joe and the guys felt like hanging
with my own band, but with a different accent. The
music of def Lepper was born and raised in our generation,
but has continued to reach new audiences who have made
it their own for four decades in counting. I hope
you guys love this day and live forever on this
the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
I'm funny, all right, how do you feel about Fleppard
getting their star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I'm
fine with it. I wish it. I wish they would
mention in these articles where the star is like, oh,
we're between if you're looking for us, we're between b Arthur.
(01:21:15):
I know that they like give the address, you know,
of the whatever crappy store is behind them, And there
are it's not spoken about very much, but there is
kind of a hierarchy of where you get your star.
There are premium spots. Have you ever gone down the
Hollywood Walk of Fame. There are some out of the
way stars. Boy like around the corner right, some guy
that was like a cameraman in the twenties or something.
(01:21:37):
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce does this, and they always
put Rick Allen on the edge of the frame of
the photos because his left arm obviously isn't there. Literally,
they are doing a Las Vegas residency next year. They're
doing twelve shows in February. And now they have their
(01:21:58):
star the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now do they list
names on that or would it just say def Leppard?
It says def Leppard? Okay, I didn't know because, like
you know, obviously that was Steve Clark. Steve Clark died,
like Pete Willis, was their founding guitarist. I think he's
dead too.
Speaker 6 (01:22:13):
But he was as important as anybody in that band.
I think he's one of the most underrated guitarists. Steve Clark.
Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
Yeah yeah, if that guy, if that guy could have
kept control of himself and he drank himself to death, yeah,
I mean just incredible. But def Leppard are also like
guys that are still in good shape, right, they like
kept it together. Rick Allen notwithstanding. But I mean you
(01:22:41):
want to talk about a comeback story. I'm just saying,
like anybody else a drummer would have been like, I
guess it's over for me. Not that guy. No, he's
like no, let's figure it out. Hey give him credit
for sure, and the rest of the band going, yeah,
let's figure it out. You're a boy.
Speaker 6 (01:22:58):
He's got the best costume or whatever the wardrobe in
the rock hall because it has that like folded up
little like where the army.
Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Should be for it's like pinned to the shoulder.
Speaker 7 (01:23:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:23:09):
And there are the jokes. My favorite has nine arms
and sucks yep. One of my favorite jokes of all time.
Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
It's Joe Elliott speaking on their behalf. So what about
the actual albums?
Speaker 14 (01:23:23):
Massive thanks obviously go out the Mutt Lang, who took
the gambo on working with this unknown quantity back in
nineteen eighty one, taught us what making the record really meant.
Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
An ELS's creed.
Speaker 6 (01:23:33):
A four muttline style banging his best friend's wife or no,
his wife's best friend.
Speaker 14 (01:23:41):
Songs that would hopefully last a lifetime to our incredible,
loving fan base out there.
Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
Two words, thank you, two words, thank you?
Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
That's great? Why not? Oh I don't know? I got that?
Is it? Who is this? Hello?
Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
Am I on the air?
Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
You are?
Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Who's this?
Speaker 8 (01:24:07):
This is Woodrow?
Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Oh? Hey woy, somebody Sometimes I just picked up the line,
and sometimes it fills in another caller's name, So I
couldn't count on the fact that it was Kevin wanting
to talk about the Browns.
Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
What's going on with Hey man?
Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
How's your day? All right?
Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
So far so good?
Speaker 8 (01:24:23):
Hey Rob? How are you doing?
Speaker 9 (01:24:24):
Brother?
Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (01:24:25):
Nothing but the Red?
Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (01:24:26):
You guys are talking about def Leppard? You know, lifelong fan.
I still have a jersey, a threadbar Pyromania jersey tucked
in plastic in my underwear drawer from when I saw
those guys back in eighty three or whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
You know, why is it in your underwear drawer?
Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
Do you ever use it like as a as a
throng or what are you doing? You wear it as
a loin cloth?
Speaker 8 (01:24:53):
No, it's just a It's just a it's a threadbear
t shirt that got.
Speaker 2 (01:24:59):
It literally has on pitch stains in it.
Speaker 8 (01:25:01):
Yeah, because I wore I wore the Death I wore
the Death Leppard out of it. But yeah, you know,
I saw a bunch of times.
Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
I think I tore a story.
Speaker 8 (01:25:09):
How I got drunk and drew up.
Speaker 15 (01:25:12):
In Creighton University parking lot.
Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Every one of Woody stories is like, I'm pretty sure
I told you about the time that I got drunken
threw up, and then you fill in the rest of
the store dot dot dot. Yeah, I remember I told
you about the time where I got drunk and threw
up at Deaf Leopard.
Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
Yeah, okay, what about the time you.
Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
Got drunken threw up at another show in the parking
lot at a funeral into the casket. Yeah, well, you know, those.
Speaker 8 (01:25:39):
Are the days, those are the days. Your last the
last segment, you're talking about Halloween.
Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
Not a huge Halloween.
Speaker 8 (01:25:49):
Guy, but you know with the with the big giant
inflatables blowing around.
Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Yeah, yeah, are you trying to tell me what that
You're not a big fan of giant inflatable pumpkins flying around?
Ironically enough, I am not.
Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
All right, Well, it's a bit disturbing, but yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:26:09):
It's free Halloween, and.
Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
I I don't know where I was going.
Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
To go with the pumping story.
Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Man, I'm blanket what he's like. I was going to
get drunk and throw up and then call you and
give you a Halloween story.
Speaker 4 (01:26:23):
But oh yeah, well.
Speaker 8 (01:26:24):
But yeah, but the back to Death Leopard. Did you
know that that Joe Elliott's wife is from my little
hometown in Iowa, which is bananas.
Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
What hometown is that? It's Oh, Joe Elliott's wife is
from wood He's hometown. That's the town where what he
got drunk. It threw up in the parking lot of
the MC sports. Thank you, Woody, I got to move on.
Appreciate it, heal, Thank you. What's the difference between a
turkey and def leopard? I don't know. A turkey has
(01:26:57):
two drumsticks. It's gonna suck when the only deaf lepperd
jokes are about one guy, right, there's no Visian Campbell jokes, right, No, Hey,
Vivian Campbell just eats potatoes and cabbage all day long
because he's Irish. And every joke about your band is
(01:27:19):
about you losing an arm.
Speaker 6 (01:27:21):
I'm sure there's there's gotta be there's no, there's no.
Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
Nobody was making deaf leopard jokes at all until that
unfortunate accident. It's like nobody makes Cliff Burton. Nobody makes
metallic jokes about Cliff Burton. Right, No, he fell out
of a tour boss that went onside and got crushed
and died. Obviously, Rick Allen is still alive. But I
guess that's where the jokes can come from is that
he lived, but he right still. The only deaf leopard
(01:27:47):
jokes you'll ever hear are about Rick Allen. Oh no,
here's one.
Speaker 6 (01:27:51):
When a cougar gets so old she needs a hearing age,
she becomes a deaf leopard.
Speaker 2 (01:27:56):
That no great, not compared to what has nine arms
and sucks. You're not gonna get I'm wanna cool a
deaf leopard. I mean no, there's a reason that all
the good jokes are about Rick Helt. And you know what,
listen thirty five years hence forty years later. I'm sure
he takes them in stride. He's laughing all the way.
(01:28:17):
Oh god, yes. And by the way, there isn't a
drummer on the planet, present company included, who wouldn't love
to try that kid out, Oh right, one arm behind
my back and just play that trigger kit that he's got.
Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
That would be they made it for him. He probably play.
Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
He probably plays that thing thirty five forty years later,
probably plays that thing better than most of the two
arm guys out there.
Speaker 6 (01:28:43):
And there is no one on the planet that hasn't
done the like. Whenever you're listening to a deaf leopard song.
You can't air drum with two hands like everybody does.
Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
I if I'm playing a song from the first couple
of albums, Rob, well sure, but then if we get
into Hysteria, I tucked my arm in my shirt sleeve.
Speaker 6 (01:29:02):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta like you gotta move the end
of the nub part because he lost it between Pyromania
and Hysteria.
Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
Right, there's a car crash, right right, But I mean
like that's the timeline he had. He had two arms
on Pyromania. I think Hysteria was I think the first
album they did with that trigger kit that he played,
because it took him a while to learn to play it.
Speaker 6 (01:29:23):
I mean obviously he started from scratch. Well because it's
and it sounds so much different.
Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
Because I think Pyromania was eighty three, Hysteria was eighty seven,
so they I think so they had to take their time.
They're like, you take whatever time you need, bro, because
you're figured that first year was just him going I
have one arm, you know what I mean? Like what
that would do to your head? Ye oh yeah, and
then you're a drummer. Even if you weren't a drummer,
(01:29:47):
you'd be like, oh I am missing a limb now.
Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
I mean you think about it, though, any other instrument
he probably would not have been able to carry on.
Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Saxophone well, sure, but I mean he would not have
been able to play anything else, that's right.
Speaker 6 (01:29:58):
But else, I mean maybe piano, you can get away
with it. There men, No piano, you couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
He could have played a thereman, you don't even touch
that instrument.
Speaker 6 (01:30:08):
Yeah, I mean guitar out, bass out, yeah, you're right,
everything else.
Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:30:14):
So it was the only way he could have ever
continued on. So it is kind of, you know, just
an interesting story if.
Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
He had to have that happen and play an instrument
drums is arguably the most fortuitous thing that could have happen.
Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
And he's the only one, only one, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:30:28):
So it's like whenever anybody mentions a one arm drummer,
it's just synonymous with def Leppert.
Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Yeah, he made them more famous.
Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Yeah, he couldn't play Kenny G can't play the saxon.
Kenny G couldn't play this The Allen Corr Show. On one.
Speaker 9 (01:30:48):
Fun fact, celebrity deaths, like testicles sometimes come in threes.
Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Shown seven. Yes, I got another thousand dollars for you
here but seven or eight minutes courtesy of the Buzzard
bookie four thirty, five thirty, your last two key words
of the day. Then we'll start it all over again
(01:31:18):
tomorrow morning with RMV. Has there been a third celebrity death?
Really run the gamut of emotions over the past twenty
four hours, over the two celebrity deaths that I saw,
which was Diane Keaton died. I guess after a very
brief illness. I guess that she had kept everything to
(01:31:43):
her family and friends. You know, Michael Keaton, the actor,
took his stage name from Diane Keaton. I think it's
a well known story by now. His given name is
Michael Douglas. But obviously, when you joined SAG, you know
you have to There can't be two people of the
same name. This happens to a lot of actors where
they take a stage name because somebody already has that name. Obviously,
there was another actor named Michael Douglas, and so Michael Keaton.
(01:32:07):
Michael Douglas took Keaton because he was a Diane Keaton fan.
I will personally never forget her gray teeth. H But
Diane Keaton, who got really big back in the day
from Annie Hall. You know, she dated Woody Allen and
she was in the Godfather. Of course, she kind of
messed around Pacino, I think for a bit. David Warren
(01:32:28):
baty back in the day. She was seventy nine years old.
Last twenty twenty five years. Most of her movies were
kind of like the Nancy Myers genre. You know, they
were like rom comms and things like that. But she
was always good when you saw her and stuff. I'm
not a rom com guy, but she did one years ago,
was it Something's Got to Give?
Speaker 3 (01:32:49):
With Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
Keanu was a doctor who was hitting on her, and
she was obviously much older than Keanu, whereas Jack Nicholson
was the age appropriate person for her in the film,
but he was you know, Jack Nicholson plays himself in
most movies. I know he's retired, but last handful of
(01:33:13):
movies he did, he basically kind of played himself. So
early seventies, Diane Keaton was kind of Woody Allen's muse YEP,
and she was one of his most vocal defenders. Man
when all of the pervy stuff started coming out about
Woody Allen and I remember my mom. I was like
(01:33:35):
in kindergarten or first grade or something like that. She
was in this movie called Looking for Mister Goodbar in
the late seventies, which I thought was a movie about
candy obviously, but it was about a single woman finding
her sexuality. I don't know. My mom loved that movie, which,
(01:33:57):
in hindsight, I was like, what's my mom into. She
was the mom and father of the Bride, the Steve
Martin film, right, that was a huge, huge movie. Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Diane Keaton I thought was like, you know, nineties or whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:34:11):
I mean. I thought she was super cute, really cute.
But you also never saw her below the neck. She
never you know, passed, you know, late eighties, early nineties.
She was always buttoned up. She was always wearing like
high college shirts and hats and turtlenecks and whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:34:32):
She had two kids.
Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
I don't think she ever married, but I guess she.
She died pretty suddenly. TMZ of course has like nine
to one one audio, but there's nothing there. It's just
you know, TMZ splashes these things Diane kateon nine one
one audio, and then it's somebody going, hey, yeah, could
you send an ambulance what seems to be the problem, Sir,
(01:34:56):
I got a person down.
Speaker 3 (01:34:57):
What kind of down they're sponsor?
Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
Are they breathing?
Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
End of tape and seem right, that's what it is. Yeah,
Diane Keaton nine one one audio okay?
Speaker 3 (01:35:09):
Cool? And then the other person who died. I'm very
happy that they did.
Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
There's a guy named Ian Watkins who you might remember
from back in the day. He fronted a band called
Lost Prophets, who these guys were on the rise. Boy,
I think about the other guys in Lost Profits, how
this guy just screwed them because he was a pedophile.
This guy was doing heinous things to kids. He has
(01:35:36):
been killed in jail. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy? Yep.
Two dudes have been accused of murdering Ian Watkins. He
was serving a twenty nine year sentence at a prison
in England. A twenty five year old guy and a
forty three year old guy. What do they always say
about prison. They don't like they don't like pedophiles, and
(01:36:02):
they don't like rapists, which I always thought was strange
because you figure prison, you know, if you're in a
like a prison with a lot of capital offense people.
There's gonna be a lot of rapists in there. You know,
rape is a crime of violence, not of sex. And
so I was always the kid thing. I fully get
if you're a pedophile, you yeah, but the rape thing,
(01:36:24):
I'm like, I always thought that was odd. They were like, oh,
prisoners hate rapists really.
Speaker 6 (01:36:28):
And especially though you said that the kids stuff, that's yeah,
that's the way to get checked out quick.
Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
So frankly, I'm surprised he lasted that long because he's
been in jail for like ten years.
Speaker 6 (01:36:42):
Knock a couple of years off of each one of
those guys sentence for good behavior.
Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
Yeah, I mean he got in there for like baby rape. Yeah,
you know what I mean, like awful, awful, heinous stuff.
And yeah, so the police were called of the prison,
got a report from the hacks that there have been
an assault on a prisoner is pronounced dead at the scene,
and it was Ian Watkins. So I guess glass half full.
(01:37:09):
He doesn't have to do any more of his sentence
and we don't have to pay for it. Yeah, and
his co defendants wore the moms of the kids he
abused and they're in prison too, So it was his
whole gross thing man. But when that first blew up
with Lost Profits, because again you remember Lost Profits, Oh yeah,
(01:37:30):
they were kind of coming up with, like god, who
are the other bands at that time that were kind
of it was kind of like this second wave of
British rock in like the mid odds, like when Doves
was happening, and Lost Profits they had a couple of hits.
They a song called Rooftops and I was playing him
a station I was at Chicago was Alternative station. We
were playing Lost Profits. And when word got out that
(01:37:53):
this guy was like not only grooming people last train home,
that was another big one from them, not only grooming
people but doing horrendous things. Oh yeah. And so the
other guys were like, well we could we can't do
this band anymore. We can't just get a new front man.
(01:38:15):
We gotta do you know when you said last week,
change the name of your band. Yeah, for far less
than this, by the way, start over. Yeah. So I
don't know if that new band, it was called No Devotion.
I think I don't know if they did anything. But
the other guys in the band, you know who used
to play with Lost Profits. I mentioned this at the
(01:38:36):
time by the way is that Elon Rubin. He was
the guy that just left Hoo Fighters to go to sorry,
left nine inch Nails to go to Foo Fighters. You know,
he and Josh Freese kind of did ah Matt Stafford
Jared Goff swap. Yeah, Elon Rubin used to play drums
for Lost Profets and yeah, completely destroyed that band. Hey,
(01:39:04):
we've arrested your singer like drugs or no? No, he
tried to rape a toddler. What okay? Yeah, we can't
go boy. At the very least, we've got to cancel
our tour dates.
Speaker 6 (01:39:17):
Can I see your phone for a second band name Generator?
Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
Anyway, on the morning of Saturday morning, attacked and killed
in prison. So I would like to get the commissary
information for those two guys who did it, and uh,
you know, make sure that they all get all the
ramen they want to send them a little something something
(01:39:44):
for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 6 (01:39:46):
Well, thanks for thanks for the effort edible arrangement. Are
you in the mood for any Brian?
Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
Oh, you know the answer to that from me. You
don't ever have to ask me because he called a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
Now this is gonna be one of those songs that
you might know the lyrics, but he is playing with it.
You tell me if you remember the song, this is
going back aways you think.
Speaker 7 (01:40:13):
Be so, I'm so glad you can't.
Speaker 11 (01:40:21):
Be to my.
Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
Dear.
Speaker 3 (01:40:26):
Is any part of that recognizable?
Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
Okay, you make me so very Yeah? Who was that pie?
Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
Blood Sweat and Tears? Remember Blood Sweat and Tears?
Speaker 7 (01:40:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:40:38):
Yeah, yeah, what are you? Amazing voice from that guy?
By the way, uh because they were Canadian I think
was the guy's name from Blood Sweat and Tears, because
they had uh, you make me very Happy? I think
that was a song, and then they had the.
Speaker 3 (01:40:54):
Spear and wheel got to go round.
Speaker 2 (01:41:00):
And Brian apparently is on a Blood Sweat and Tears
now again. Blood Sweat and Tears still around as a band.
That's one of those bands that when they need a singer,
they get him from these competition shows.
Speaker 3 (01:41:15):
There was a guy years ago.
Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
He came in second I think to carry Underwood early
days of American idol, a guy named bo Biss, Remember
Bo Bye?
Speaker 3 (01:41:24):
Was he the one that like he was the obnoxious?
Speaker 2 (01:41:27):
No, that was Taylor Hicks. Timber Hicks was the Salt
and Pepper the older guy. Yeah, he won bo Bice,
I do not remember. Bo Bice did not win, but
he had this look. He had like long hair and
he just had this look and so all these girls
were just moist in the shorts for bo Bice. Anyway,
he was like a runner up on Uh. He came
(01:41:48):
in second I think to carry Underwood and he's been
fronting Blood, Sweat and Tears. Bo Bice has bo Bie Wow.
He going way back. He was runner up against Carry
Underwood the fourth season of American Idol. So what is
that like two thousand and three or something for And
then they got another guy from another reality show. So
(01:42:11):
when bo Bice leaves, he's with him for five or
six years. And then they get a guy from the
Voice people who might not remember the song players. I'm
so glad you can't.
Speaker 7 (01:42:28):
Be too.
Speaker 3 (01:42:45):
Good a voice man.
Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
Wow, Blood Sweat and Tears they are like a big
deal in the early seventies, right because it was like
rock and R and B and soul who was a
singer what's that guy's name?
Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Because they had a lot of people going through that band.
I forget who cares?
Speaker 2 (01:43:03):
It was almost Alex Childon remember Alex Chilton they auditioned
a bunch of dudes and they Stephen Stills. They looked
at for blood, sweat and tears and they grabbed a
guy named David. There is David Clayton Thomas. He was Canadian.
That's him singing. But they had a lot of people
go through that band. Anyway, Brian on a blood Sweat
(01:43:27):
and Tears kick. I was sweating on Saturday, Rob. I'm
not a big sweater. But I mentioned before that Friday
was all over the place because I had to uber
everywhere because my car was at Conrads Conrads and so
it was when they call me on Saturday and they go, hey,
(01:43:48):
car's ready. I walk to Conrad's from my house? Is
it that close? It's an hour by yeah, to walk
Jesus the west Lake Conrads. I'm like, well I can do.
It was a nice day out right, So I'm like
I'll walk. My daughter like face times, she's like, what
are you doing. I go, I'm walking to Conrads. She's
(01:44:09):
like what I said, Well, how else am I gonna
get there? I might have to wait for an uber
to pick me up. Pay thirty bucks to go five.
Now I'll get some steps. You have a neighbor. I
don't know my neighbor. What I thought you you don't
know any of them? Hey, could you take me to Conrads?
What am I twelve? Yes? No, it a nice day
on Saturday. It was like mid sixties. I think maybe
(01:44:29):
low sixties. I'm like a walk. I like walking.
Speaker 9 (01:44:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
Once I start walking, I'm like that Stephen King movie.
I will keep walking. I'm like goddamn Forrest Hurst. I
will keep walking. So anyway, wherever I went, I was running,
but I was. It was warmer than I thought it was.
And I'm just out there jeans and a T shirt
and wearing my Palladium boots, so my footwear is on point. Yeah,
(01:44:54):
it took me about an hour and some change, maybe
an hour and ten to walk there. I've screw that
dipped into the askt is Celsius. But yeah, I got
a little sweaty. Now there was no blood and no tears,
but you're aware a little bit of sweat.
Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
I shouldn't even say I sweated. I became I broke
a swey.
Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
You became.
Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
I became dewey moist you were doing.
Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
I became dewey on the walk there because it was
warmer than I thought it was going to be. What's that?
Gotta have it moist right? So yeah, I walked to
Conrads Conrads, Conrads because things keep happening with my car.
(01:45:39):
You know, my car is now ten years old. You're
in that window. Man, it's got about two hundred and
twenty six thousand miles on it. But every time I
take it in, they go, Jesus, this car looks like
it's never been driven. I go, I take amazing care
of my car. I'm but I'm starting to put money
into it. That's when it because I suck. I put
about four grand in my car over the last few weeks.
It's a lot because I'm like, I don't want to
(01:46:00):
get a new car yet. I'll hit Rich Clayban up
when I need to get one, but for the meantime,
I'm like, I want to see how many miles I
can put on this car. Too grand to pop not
ma anymore. Well, but it wasn't even engine stuff. It
was like somehow my fog lights got shattered. I don't
know if it was a last time I was interstate
(01:46:21):
or whatever. So that's cosmetic. So I had pull those
and fixos a couple of weeks ago that rear shocks
had those replaced, So so far it's like nothing under
the hood, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
Yeah, so, but yeah, I walked to Conrades to get
my car.
Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
I could have picked you up, and they always do.
You're gonna drive from a dine at a bay village
to pick me up to drive me ten minutes away?
Speaker 6 (01:46:47):
Yes, now for an hour? I like walking, That is silly.
You've never walked for an hour? Yeah, but like it
was a reason.
Speaker 2 (01:46:54):
This was a right to go get my car. You
couldn't live because.
Speaker 6 (01:46:57):
I'm saying there was no other opportunity driving.
Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
I'm not walking. But you know I didn't go grab
my key and walk, got the bike, got in my car.
Yeah I wouldn't. No, no, no, I would have waited.
I hadn't walked a distance like that in a minute,
So I'm like, this would be good. It was a
Saturday midday, like around noon, right, it was just warmer
out than I thought it was. Have my have my
(01:47:23):
aarpods in, listen to some music on the way. It
was great. But uh yeah, Bryan singing blood, sweat and tears.
I was like, oh, I broke a sweat this weekend
outside and uh, but again not a lot of interaction
on the streets of Bay Village, Ohio midday and a Saturday,
(01:47:47):
I probably passed two people on the sidewalk. I thought
there'd be people walking their dogs and jugging and nope,
Ell it wasn't. Diane Keaton, didn't she speaking of headlights?
Weren't hers on high beam in looking for mister Goodbar. Yes,
they were, But I think it was after that where
(01:48:08):
Diane Keaton was like, I don't want to be that
kind of actress. You know, she was young and getting
some roles, and Godfather was huge and when he Ela
moves are huge and she's like, they're gonna do that.
Speaker 6 (01:48:22):
It's one of the best scenes in cinematic history, that
scene when she comes back and Michael has the kids
and the Godfather and she walks.
Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
In and she goes give your mother a hug, and they.
Speaker 6 (01:48:33):
Both look at him to see if it's okay, and
he gives a little nod and they go over to
her begrudgingly.
Speaker 10 (01:48:37):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
Oh the power Michael Quarterly only had allan after Ian
Watkins went to jail. It's probably pretty safe to say
that the rest of the band lost prophets yes because
they couldn't big a living anymore, and right one cock show.
Speaker 4 (01:49:01):
On one hundred point seven called the Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 16 (01:49:07):
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 9 (01:49:13):
One sixty five seven eight one double oh seven.
Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
Or one eight hundred three four eight one double oh
seven ye on three five one nine two. You want
(01:49:54):
to send me a text if you listen to us
on iHeartRadio, tell me where you do that. I'm going
to say you can always leave us messages on there
as well. Bad night if you were Cavalier's last night.
But the third of four preseason games, that last one
will be tomorrow night back here at home and the
Friendly Confines against the Detroit Pistons one oh seven, the
(01:50:18):
final in Boston last night. Regular season will begin on Wednesday,
the twenty second, that's next Wednesday in New York against
the Knicks, and then they'll play the Nets. And then Sunday,
the twenty sixth, they will come here for the home
opener against the Milwaukee Bucks. And I will have those
tickets for you all this week around three to ten.
(01:50:39):
Monsters home opener is this Friday night, so I'll hook
you with those this week as well.
Speaker 6 (01:50:45):
I'd like to add the Calves lost all four preseason
games last year and then won their first sixteen, So
I feel okay.
Speaker 2 (01:50:56):
It's not necessarily indicative of anything, right, I mean they're not. Yeah,
they're not going full till book yet there get a
long season ahead. Yep. So a press release just came
down from the city of Cleveland and the Haslum Sports group.
Rob you sent me this from Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns.
(01:51:23):
Um it's like the most surprising, but I love the
photo because it's like a hostage situation. Yeah, Jimmy and
de Haslin standing there flanking Mayor bib They're like a
son of a bitch. Yep, Crowns the Browns in Cleveland
(01:51:46):
make peace. Comma reach one hundred million dollar deal to
move stadium to Brook Park. So I said it Robin
the break off. They're not whether they not moving? Was
that made?
Speaker 3 (01:51:57):
Because no, they're giving them a ton of money. Yeah,
to clear the road.
Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
One hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
Hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
Justin Bibb announced that the city and the Browns had
reached a deal that pays the way for the team
to move to Brook Park, which is ultimately what the
City of Cleveland wanted anyway, right, like you said, this was.
Speaker 6 (01:52:20):
The lawsuits were. Of course, it's the payout one hundred
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:52:26):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (01:52:27):
So this is this is a thing from the Haslms
of payment to the City of Cleveland that's going to
accelerate the lakefront property transformation and they're going to like
take care of all of that for the redevelopment piece
so they can move the stadium.
Speaker 3 (01:52:40):
So it's just basically they're just sending their taste.
Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
But did the city have legal standing? Yeah, yeah, a yeah,
they filed lawsuits. Well that's why I was Yeah, but
a lot of those can just be like you said,
they can be a way to get someone to settle.
Well that's all this was, right, But did they if
they had gone the distance, they did they have standing.
I'll hold the Browns feet to the fire and go, look,
you guys still have legal responsibilities to the City of Cleveland.
(01:53:07):
I think everyone, because it just makes it sound like
Jimmy Haslm is like ah, right, I'll take care of
you and then we'll get our asses out to Brook Park.
I think that's what it was.
Speaker 6 (01:53:14):
I think everyone involved knew exactly what they were doing
when they filed those lawsuits. It was never going to
go to the end. It was just how much is
it going to cost me? Oh, how's fifty million? Double it? Oh?
Come on, you know I'm not going to double it.
One hundred million dollars later, done, it's over. It's textbook okay,
so silly.
Speaker 2 (01:53:35):
Under the deal, the Haslms will move forward with a
two point four billion dollar domed stadium by the airport.
In return, they've agreed to give the city of Cleveland
one hundred million dollars to help demol and not a pennymore. Now,
stop asking me for money. Here's one hundred million dollars.
Make that work. Well, there's going to be way more
(01:53:56):
than that. This is just Jude things. Oh yeah, this
is just the HASLM taste. What do you mean their taste.
He's giving the city one hundred million.
Speaker 6 (01:54:03):
Dollars and then they're going to use that to redevelop
But that's not what it's going to cost, Like, it's
going to be exponentially more than that.
Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
But will he But see, I'm real stupid when it
comes to this stuff, right, I've never been involved in
litigation or anything. So when they redevelop the lake front,
Jimmy Haslam gets a piece of that.
Speaker 6 (01:54:24):
No, no, no, he'll no, he's just going to keep
He's writing them a check a little bits at a time.
I think it's twenty five million dollars, is due by
the end of the year. Okay, So he doesn't by
the end of this year.
Speaker 2 (01:54:34):
Yeah, So he doesn't write them a check for one
hundred million, No, goch and then it's gonna be I
think he's a committing it's one hundred million dollars. It's
UH agreed to give the city one hundred million to
help demolish the current stadium, so they tear down brown
Stadium and prepare the site for future development.
Speaker 6 (01:54:51):
Everything they're responsible for is twenty five million bucks by
December first, UH. They agree to raise the current Huntington
Bank Field in downtown Cleveland and to a pad ready
state at the Browns expense.
Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
The cost is estimated to be thirty million.
Speaker 6 (01:55:05):
Beginning January first, twenty twenty nine, pay the City of
Cleveland five million honor before January first of each calendar
year until January first, twenty thirty three, totaling twenty five
million over five years.
Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
That's your one hundred million. So everybody within and I
don't mean this literally, I mean it figuratively. Everybody within
a certain radius of this deal now is licking their chops.
Speaker 7 (01:55:28):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
Yeah, it was what it was.
Speaker 3 (01:55:29):
Remember, it was the It was the business owners.
Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
And I mean, you know, if the team is going
to go out to brook Park, you know all these
businesses downtown. They got to have some to look forward to,
aren't they building a soccer stadium over there and stuff?
Speaker 6 (01:55:43):
Upon termination of the least HSG to invest no less
than two million per year over the next ten on
a mutually agreed community benefit project totally no less than
twenty million. So there's there's This is like a ten
year commitment. At least. It's going to cost them all
the money, and all they really have to do is
make sure that that thing is built ready, so that
(01:56:05):
one hundred million dollars isn't going to do anything to
transform the lakefront, with the exception to take down the
stadium and make it.
Speaker 3 (01:56:11):
Build really yeah, Oh that's a lot of money.
Speaker 6 (01:56:14):
Oh, I mean yeah, but when you think about the
total cost, you're talking about building a stadium for two
point four billion. They're trying to redo a whole lakefront. Oh,
I see that's gonna be I bet you comparable in price.
Speaker 2 (01:56:26):
I bet you. I figured that they will. The city
will go, well, here's what we can do for a
one hundred million dollars. You'll get one hundred million dollar
lake front renovation, wouldn't you. I mean, hey, here's a
week different us. Let's pave over Burke that I just
said that too.
Speaker 6 (01:56:45):
Part parties to mutually support infrastructure plans related to road
and air travel with respect to both the brook Park
Stadium mixed use project, the modernization of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport,
the development of the Cleveland Lakefront, including the redeveloped of
the Burke Lakefront Airport property.
Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
So they're gonna do something with that too. Cleveland will
drop all pending litigation against the team and its ownership.
But that photo, boy, I love that picture.
Speaker 3 (01:57:10):
He just held them up for ae hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Would you be happy?
Speaker 11 (01:57:16):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (01:57:16):
Good on him?
Speaker 2 (01:57:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:57:17):
Of course, yeah, he says he's Bibbs.
Speaker 6 (01:57:20):
Quote is I'm proud to deliver this historic deal to
the residents of the City of Cleveland. My administration, with
the Haslim support, will finally unlock the full potential of
our lake front, benefiting all residents and attracting new investment
to the city.
Speaker 3 (01:57:34):
I mean, it's better, big picture, to be in bed
with each other.
Speaker 2 (01:57:36):
Of course it is.
Speaker 6 (01:57:37):
Yeah, of course it is, and it should have happened
from the start, but instead they got to everybody just
it's so dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:57:46):
Golf carts may soon be allowed on Cleveland's streets, but
don't expect put In Bay vibes.
Speaker 3 (01:57:54):
Oh really, because already the streets are littered.
Speaker 2 (01:57:58):
With bird scooters and you know, yeah, like people just go,
I've done, knock it over. Do they have those? Do
they have those on Putting Bay or is it just
they have golf carts, Just golf carts and they're constant.
I mean, when we got to Kelly's Island, we run
a golf cart and so it's like it's a fine
way to get around. But yeah, they have fleets of
golf carts when you get out there, take the ferry over.
But you know, put In Bay, especially not so much
(01:58:20):
Kelly's island, but put in Bay. Yeah, but people are drunk,
so they're constantly chasing people down or are like drunk
in a golf cart and it's you know, running into things.
So golf carts on Cleveland streets. Mayor's proposed legislation that
(01:58:41):
would allow businesses to operate golf carts on the city streets.
All right, well there you go. That's what we need.
More uh more golf.
Speaker 3 (01:58:56):
STUFFFIC hazards, golf your favorite.
Speaker 2 (01:59:01):
Yeah anyway, Yeah, but boy, you walked down downtown Cleveland
and it is equal parts detritus, urban detritus, and convenience.
You can just walk around and go as a scooter
on its side. Maybe I don't want to walk right now,
I don't take a scooter.
Speaker 7 (01:59:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59:20):
They all get used once a week on the perfectly
even paved streets of downtown Cleveland. You'll never go ass
over a tin cup on a bird scooter because you
dove into a pothole. Golf Cart companies want to use
golf carts for short rides, similar to how an uber
or a lift would work. I don't hate it, I'll
(01:59:42):
tell you you know. I mean, aren't there petticab dudes too?
Those petticab guys. Boy, they want to whoof we are
walking out of h When we took our daughter to
PNC Park in Pittsburgh last year September of last year
to see Green Day in the Smashingpkins was her first
concert and outside Pittsburgh has a lot of petty cabs.
(02:00:05):
But boy do they see you coming you walk out
of a stadium, They're like, we're just going over the
Clementy Bridge to the hotel. I'll be fifty five dollars
because they don't want to do that. They want to
go farther than that.
Speaker 9 (02:00:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
But I think pettycab guys are probably I mean there's
a novelty to them, but I don't think there's as
many as there used to be. With the advent of scooters,
there's more people like I'll put what. I went to
a wedding last fall in Asbury Park in New Jersey,
and I took a scooter every where. They're a blast,
so fun, I'd kill myself fun one. Oh they're so fun.
(02:00:41):
That's what everybody says. And you might, but what a
way to go, Yeah, die doing what you love, having fun?
Rob right.
Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
I think being alive is fun. Well, my version of it.
I guess that results.
Speaker 6 (02:01:00):
So various golf cart Listen, I think all this kind
of stuff. I think it's fantastic for the downtown ecosystem.
I think obviously every situation like that's gonna have it's problems,
and there's gonna have to be people who figure those
things out. Most of us are walking around barely paying
(02:01:21):
attention to what we're doing anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:01:22):
So yeah, sure there's gonna be some death.
Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
There's gonna be there's gonna be somebody shuffling off their
moral coil.
Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
At the hands of a golf cart. But you know,
what are you gonna do? State law allows golf carts
to be street legal.
Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
That's the other thing. Speaking of Jersey, and we're on
the Jersey Shore a couple of summers ago. It's very
hoity toity. Obviously, these are people that have giant houses
on the Jersey Shore, but a lot of them have
those god what are they called. They're like bigger than
golf carts. They're like mobo or mojo or something something,
or they're like these they're almost like dune buggies or something.
(02:02:06):
The hell are those called? Somebody, somebody will tell me
a moto moto I think is what they're called. And
people were zipping around on o's but they're very expensive.
People like, oh yeah, golf carr They're like fifteen thousand
dollars or are you gonna put it?
Speaker 8 (02:02:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:02:23):
Thank you? Yeah, Alan, imagine a nice golf cart ride
mid February.
Speaker 4 (02:02:30):
Yeah, now you.
Speaker 2 (02:02:32):
Bundle up, you get a scarf and a hat. You know,
you can be drunk anyway, hopefully not driving, hopefully just riding.
But you know, between Cleveland getting one hundred million dollars
over the course of the next one years.
Speaker 3 (02:02:52):
And uh wow.
Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
Over the next of a lot of excuse me, yeah,
so uh is it petty? Yeah? Jitney They call them
Jitney's in Pittsburgh, but people here don't know what that is.
So I just say petty cab peed, I caab. I
thought you was saying it was petty. That might be too.
I had a very petty, petty cab driver. No, Jitney's
(02:03:18):
in Pittsburgh, but I don't know the people here know
what that is. Allan, It's less than some of the
Cleveland Browns quarterback deals we've made very sure.
Speaker 3 (02:03:28):
It seemed like a steal for Jimmy Haslam.
Speaker 17 (02:03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:03:33):
Well, and people talk about Burke. Oh it's a landfill. Yeah,
a lot of things are landfills. So is Migsfield in Chicago.
Daily pulled that up in the middle of the night.
Turn it into condos. That's why I can't believe. I've
always said here in Cleveland, I'm surprised at how little
Lakefront has been developed residentially. Usually that's the first thing
to go up. Maybe they've learned their lesson from being
(02:03:55):
further inland. With the constant condo construction around here and
they're seventy five percent vacancy rate. Maybe they figured something out.
I don't know. There's only so much affluence to go around.
They're called side by sides. I don't know what that means.
The carts, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:04:16):
Here lies Rob. He died scuting.
Speaker 2 (02:04:18):
That's what somebody says, Yo Allen. I was listening to
the podcast over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (02:04:24):
I want to know.
Speaker 3 (02:04:26):
I think the people want to know, did you eat
the Tim Misney eggs this weekend or even this morning?
Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
And if you did, are you kind of feeling it?
Speaker 16 (02:04:38):
Like are you feeling the Misney?
Speaker 2 (02:04:39):
You're righty to just sling justice across. I want to
know justice.
Speaker 3 (02:04:46):
Does he know that Tim Disney himself did not lay
the eggs?
Speaker 2 (02:04:49):
Why would I be tasting justice from a chicken that
laid an egg out at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (02:04:54):
You bet your ass.
Speaker 2 (02:04:54):
I eat those Tim Disney eggs and Saturday morning, all
six of them, rob into all six, All six into
a pie.
Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
I normally have five on a regular morning, All six
into a pan.
Speaker 2 (02:05:08):
Scramble him up, salsa cilantro, a little bit of pepper.
Oh so good, those Misney eggs, And it said right
in the cart. And when he was We had Tim
Disney on the show last Friday. He was I didn't
seen him in since Mike Polk's wedding, but he hadn't
been on the show in many years, so it's great
to catch up. A lot of people heard him on
(02:05:32):
and were blown away. My nine year old was like, you,
I center a photo. You know how many people I've
met and been around and had on this show over
the course of my younger daughters nine short years.
Speaker 3 (02:05:48):
She goes, you know Tim Disney. It was literally her words,
Oh yeah, I do know Tim.
Speaker 2 (02:05:53):
Anyway, he was kind enough to bring me in half
a dozen eggs from Disneyland and his chickens and it
says he makes them lay. I love that.
Speaker 3 (02:06:04):
It's it's too good anyway, So.
Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
Listen, a gift not enjoyed, rob is something something something,
and so yeah, I cook them eggs right up, so good.
I can't believe you put the one now.
Speaker 6 (02:06:20):
One of them had already become a chicken. So that
one was a little difficult.
Speaker 2 (02:06:25):
The chase it, get to chase it around it. I
threw it in, put the lid on. Yeah no, I'm kidding.
Of course, you can't believe what you put cilantro on
those things.
Speaker 6 (02:06:33):
So I put cilantro and you put salsa taste the egg. Well,
I don't super special sauces on the side. Oh all right, cilantro.
I'm not trying to cover up the flavor. Wait a minute,
take a step back. You eat five eggs at the
time in the morning.
Speaker 2 (02:06:49):
Yeah, wow, protein bro whoa, because I'm not eating steak
every day and some of these guys I'm not doing that.
That's a lot of protein. That's a lot of eggs.
Speaker 6 (02:06:59):
I'm good for two three eggs max, Okay, I get
yeah scramble yeah, yahah Yeahbcause I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:07:08):
Not gonna say they're like I don't want to running
all that. So the easiest thing to do is you
put them all in and you just move them around
the pan. You scramble them. Yeah, they're in and out
in a few minutes. Yeah, yep. He a lot of eggs.
There's a kid. I hated them, so now I appreciate
their value. And I'm I wouldn't say making up for
lost time, but I uh, I blow through eggs.
Speaker 6 (02:07:30):
I like eggs. I'm a I'm a for Tata man myself.
I like to make for Tata for the week. It's
that's what I like to do.
Speaker 2 (02:07:37):
Alan. Most people call them side by sides. Aren't side
by sides two seaters? This is not like a hover
round mobility scooter. I'm talking about the golf cart, right,
four people? Isn't the side by side a two seater?
That's not what I'm talking about. I think they're talking
about like the gator type of thing, right, the side
by side? Isn't it more like that? I don't know.
I don't know. I'm talking about golf carts or the
(02:07:58):
motives which are like the big long ones are like
six seaters. People zipping around Lavolette, New Jersey. They're talking
about like the gator type thing in the side by side.
I see what they're It's not a golf cart. That's
more like the all terrain vehicle. Yeah yeah, No, not those,
because I don't think those have the bench in the
back right where two people can sit. No, you're talking
about the big cart type of thing. These are two
(02:08:19):
seats where you can buy them with four. There you go.
They're like eight grand for the cheap ones. Yeah. I
fed off of Jitny. I was on my way to
the game, high landed in a jagger bush.
Speaker 3 (02:08:31):
Oh god, UTV.
Speaker 6 (02:08:33):
They call them utility task vehicles, off road golf carts. Yeah,
big fat tires, nobbies, nobbies, big knobby tires, precious cow. Yeah,
we're gonna make you headstone side by side, get it.
Speaker 2 (02:08:48):
I'm riding around in my gat a.
Speaker 3 (02:08:51):
I flipped it over, dudes, I was like Aussie under that.
Speaker 2 (02:08:56):
It was just my feet stuck it out like the
friggin wicked Witch of the West.
Speaker 6 (02:08:59):
I was busted my eyes to get back to the
house because the socks were about to start, and I
because I was fing in my golf cat.
Speaker 2 (02:09:06):
I rolled dude brock. Yeah, but I'm better, that's right.
People are texting me word about my cholesterol. My cholesterol
is impeccable. I have blood panel every year and uh yeah,
now mind you five days a week. I'm not eating
(02:09:28):
twenty five eggs a week. I'm saying that when I
have eggs, I make about four or five. What am
I gonna do with two eggs? That's right? Really?
Speaker 17 (02:09:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:09:40):
The Allen Cox Show on one hundred of its Allen's
writing bits and Rob's rattling clips.
Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
Maybe college is a scam? The Allen Cock Show WMMS.
Why so Joe? If somebody asked me, who was that
handsome voice answering the calls? Hey, yeah, is that the
clear rat last? So yeah, Ron's gonna we don't have
(02:10:12):
a phone screen.
Speaker 4 (02:10:13):
Are you.
Speaker 2 (02:10:15):
Hopefully that'll change?
Speaker 7 (02:10:18):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (02:10:18):
Got your last chance to grab some money here in
about seven or eight minutes. Five thirty is the last
keyword that you will get today courtesy of the Buzzard.
Bookie will start it all over again tomorrow morning with Rover.
I think nine to thirty is the first keyword, but
a couple hours prior to that, if you're trying to
get yourself to the Rush show, you know they added
the second one here in Cleveland for September the nineteenth.
(02:10:40):
That seventeenth of September is the first one Rush dipping
their toe back into touring. They have a woman named
Anaka Nilis, who's an amazing drummer who will be taking
Neil Peart's place behind the kit. And they're playing seven
cities and they keep adding dates to those cities. It's
(02:11:02):
only a matter of time before they had cities, I
would think. So two nights in Cleveland September seventeenth and nineteenth.
Speaker 3 (02:11:11):
Of next year.
Speaker 2 (02:11:12):
Rover will tell you tomorrow morning what the song of
the day is at seven point thirty, and then Stansbury
will play that song. So Rover will say, hey, here's
the song that you're listening for. Now you will get
tickets for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rush
gets into twenty thirteen. You get in whenever you win
(02:11:34):
the passes. And then on Friday we go here's who
get the Rush tickets because the band gave us five pair,
so we get to dole these out over the next year, right,
that's my understanding, correct, So that first pair will go
out on Friday.
Speaker 6 (02:11:49):
I know it sounds silly when we say the band
gave us five pair of tickets. But that's actually what happened. Yeah, Like,
there's no comps on this tour. So the companies that
do all of this stuff, the live nations, they ate egs.
There is no comps for us, so these were us
by the band. So that's why we're like, well, what
do we do?
Speaker 4 (02:12:08):
Give them?
Speaker 2 (02:12:08):
All the way? Now, Rob and I were at that
super secret announcement last Sunday with Geddy Lee and Alex
Lifson that then became Global news the next day that
they were going back on tour. I mean I just
call him Geedty and Alex now because you know we're friends.
Speaker 3 (02:12:24):
Understood Gaed and Al know what I called him?
Speaker 9 (02:12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:12:28):
Nevertheless, now you might say to yourself, Alan, wouldn't it
have been Global news just you and Rob being there?
Oh you're too kind. No, we just happen to be
there flying the w MMS flag.
Speaker 4 (02:12:43):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:12:44):
Russia's history in the United States is inevitably intertwined with
this radio station and the wonderful Donna Helper who was there.
Speaker 3 (02:12:56):
She was awesome, She's great.
Speaker 2 (02:12:58):
So, yeah, Friday, you'll find out if if you're one
of the five people qualified, Rover will tell you each
morning seven thirty. Hey, Stansbury's gonna play rush song. Here's
when he's gonna play it. Then you be car ten
and you will win the first pair of five over
the next year. Now I have no stake in this
(02:13:18):
rob in addition to being my cohort here is still
the program director of this radio station, our fearless leader.
My minor suggestion was, Hey, let's give away one pair
of tickets this Friday, and then the other four pair,
let's give them out the morning of the first show.
(02:13:42):
I love it. Let's do that. We're gonna stand out
in front. We'll wait a whole year with four pair
of tickets. Yeah, we're doing the Instagram contest too, so
that's another way. But we're trying to like Instagram. Am
I pronouncing that correctly? In Instagram? Instagram? Oh yeah, I
gotta look into it.
Speaker 6 (02:14:00):
Yeah, we're trying to do them that way too, like
trying to give people as many opportunities to win as
possible in different ways. So Insta, in the stock gram, Instagram,
in stack gram n s t A, I'm on kick?
Speaker 2 (02:14:16):
Is it like kick? Nope?
Speaker 9 (02:14:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:14:19):
Is it like four Square? I'm checking in?
Speaker 7 (02:14:21):
No, have you ever?
Speaker 2 (02:14:22):
Have you ever used Facebook. I've used Facebook, yes, of course.
Speaker 6 (02:14:27):
Okay, so it's similar to Facebook everything except the pictures
and videos. You're talking about the Facebook. The Facebook, Yeah, okay,
this is the Instagram all right. I think you'll pick
it up quick.
Speaker 2 (02:14:39):
I mean I only use the Facebook because I just
got a Harvard email address.
Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
That's the Hot or Not website, right, the facebooks?
Speaker 7 (02:14:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:14:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:14:52):
AnyWho.
Speaker 2 (02:14:54):
I want to know if you think this is fake.
This is from Roseville, Michigan. I very much hope it
is not fake. Don of Roseville has U in Rotary Park.
The uh dn R there, the Department of Natural Resources
there in Michigan confirm it's a genuine wildlife oddity. This
(02:15:21):
is a squirrel they're calling a juggalo squirrel. Now, this
has to be AI correct. This is an AI photo
of a squirrel that has a pattern on its face
that makes it look Now, it's not uncommon in nature
for an animal to have like a white face. I
think this is a parody site. It has to be right,
(02:15:45):
a jug the rare juggalo squirrel. Oh my goodness, I
hold Rotary Park there. That's got to be fake. But
I like where her head is. Juggalos if there is
a juggle squirrel out there in its natural habitat. The
listener who sent it to me suggested acorn flavored fago, which, listen,
(02:16:09):
it might sound crazy to us, but stranger things than
that have happened. It's gotta be fake. It's gotta be.
Speaker 6 (02:16:18):
Oh, I want it to be real, sober, because I'm
looking at all these different pictures of squirrels and they have,
you know, even solid black ones with brown tails, sometimes
with a white face.
Speaker 3 (02:16:27):
Yeah, shaky, shaggy the squirrel.
Speaker 8 (02:16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:16:34):
Ellen, there are a lot of one armed musicians.
Speaker 2 (02:16:38):
Okay, we were saying before that Rick Allen, it's a
good thing he was a drummer because that's the only
thing you could conceivably play with one hand, And people
were quick to point out all of the other instruments
that you could conceivably play the.
Speaker 3 (02:16:49):
Skin only one arm. No, but interesting, that's where your headwind.
Speaker 2 (02:16:53):
I mean, that's the first instrument I know I could play.
Speaker 3 (02:16:55):
The bugle, the trumpet, the harmonica, the skin flute.
Speaker 2 (02:17:05):
Who are you, Kenny Crumpton, Alan Rick Allen plays a
full acoustic kit now, I mean, okay, yeah, maybe he's
been doing what he does for a long time. Now, yeah,
maybe the concert triangle. Isn't that a two hander? Don't
you hold the thing with one hand, you bang it
(02:17:27):
with the other, You put it in your teeth any
brass instrument he could play? Okay, well, then I, as
has happened so frequently in the past, sit corrected.
Speaker 3 (02:17:38):
Thank you, one armed musician experts, M.
Speaker 2 (02:17:45):
I got let me set this up here properly.
Speaker 3 (02:17:51):
I got an AI song for you.
Speaker 2 (02:17:55):
Oh good. I didn't make it. I got it from
Dan and he said, I hope you enjoy this. It's
called Rob's Happy Song. You know, sometimes we'll talk about things. Rob,
since joining this show, is in the unenviable position of
(02:18:15):
trying to make me sound reasonable, and a lot of
times the way he does that is he sounds even
more unreasonable, more angry.
Speaker 3 (02:18:25):
Unreasonable is the wrong word. So people go, boy, Rob's
on one today.
Speaker 2 (02:18:31):
So he did one called Rob's Happy Song, an AI
generated song about how you, I guess, get happy, you
go from grumpy to finding the simple joys of life.
I guess it's a very short list. I can tell
you exactly what the things are that make me happy.
(02:18:51):
Let's hear what he thinks. Well, the AI generated photo
that goes with it seems to be comprised of soup
with meatballs in it, French fries.
Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
Well, i'll just play it for you here. This is
a book.
Speaker 5 (02:19:13):
On the air.
Speaker 2 (02:19:14):
You hear him from the gruffy s guy in the
whole town.
Speaker 4 (02:19:18):
World's gone wrong.
Speaker 11 (02:19:19):
It's all the less living a life under drest. That
list of things he hates, Cerson all the flash grewl
face behind the angry radio sound, secret simple joy is found. No,
it's funny things to see what brings me back to happy?
French fries, niptinmato soup, frozen meatball in A little kiss for.
Speaker 2 (02:19:44):
A better friend.
Speaker 3 (02:19:45):
This is where the anger is a frozen meatball in
the glop.
Speaker 6 (02:19:51):
I believe it also said a kiss for a A
little kiss for a feathered friend.
Speaker 2 (02:19:55):
Yeah, with a Duck's a duck joke on of a bitch. Ads.
That's where the anger ends, after a little kiss or
a feathered friend. Do you want to hear more?
Speaker 3 (02:20:08):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (02:20:08):
All right? The next verse begins, just I'm stopping it here.

Speaker 2 (02:21:02):
I'm like, wait, well, how is Rob's happy song? That's
pretty genius and it's simplicity when they went to the markets.
Old as a happy song. But then the subtext is,
it's all stuff that's gonna get you all just sack.

inconsiderate and have ducks. That's different. Yeah, you listen to that.
You have that clip that's from my house. That's me
standing on my deck. That's what it sounds like at
(02:24:31):
my house all the time. I don't go outside. I
go out and I cook and I come back in.
Deal with those little bastards. You can't even threaten them
with the smell of your stove or even cooking duck
would do nothing. They wouldn't know, wouldn't they. They smell
(02:24:54):
their own throwing on there?

Your next, your son up a pitch, Get over your

Speaker 2 (02:25:07):
You're smoking?
Speaker 3 (02:25:08):
Is this a third degree? Sure's with pulp?
Speaker 10 (02:25:13):

I like the one that says, shump pulp. Some pulp. Yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:25:30):
Uh, I don't want to chew my orange juice.
Speaker 2 (02:25:33):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (02:25:33):
I would say no pulp if I I think I'm
okay with light pulp. I mean I could tolerate it.
Full pulp, I can't do.
Speaker 2 (02:25:41):
Okay, you're not a Jarvis Cocker fan champ pulp. Hey,
uh yeah, some pulp little bit? Maybe? I just I
don't need the pulp. Well, yeah, I mean I don't
necessarily because to me, like when you go to a
place like you go like Ihoperdeni's or something, it's always
like no pulp obviously because they just want to but
(02:26:01):
it's like water. I'm sure they water it down now,
but that's what I think of a no pulp, So
I'm like, it just reminds me of like orange colored
water that you get at one of those breakfast joints.
Speaker 6 (02:26:12):
And I love orange juice. I just can't drink it anymore.
I get real bad, like Odjita acid reflux. Oh you
do really terrible now, I don't know why. It's like
the one thing I can't drink.
Speaker 2 (02:26:21):
And realize there was that much acid. So you're not
drinking grapefruit juice then no, And I liked it. I
like grapefruit juice.
Speaker 8 (02:26:27):
I like it.
Speaker 6 (02:26:27):
You know, all have grapefruit juice, Like if I make
a paloma. But that's such a small amount, you know,
might drinking a big cup of it.
Speaker 3 (02:26:33):
What about tart cherry juice? I drink that every night.
Speaker 2 (02:26:38):
Never had it.
Speaker 3 (02:26:38):
Oh that's so good and good for you.
Speaker 2 (02:26:42):
Hmmmm.
Speaker 6 (02:26:43):
I like my cherry juice with no pulp. How did
you settle on tart cherry juice to drink every night?
It's good for you, No, I know.
Speaker 2 (02:26:49):
But all that, there's a lot of things that are
good for you because I like it and it's got
like antioxidants and yeah, so it's just part of your routine. Yeah,
Kiwi and cherry juice like it is delicious. It's not fantastic.
Say you got the cherries and then you do that
you extra, You have to extract them, right, you like
(02:27:10):
you're making a pie. You gotta make them shoop a tart? Yeah,
I said some tart. What I do is first I
pull the pit out of all the cherries. Then I
grind those up and then I put them back in.
I call it cherry pulp.

chiefs in Buffalo. I gotta say I was kind of
(02:28:22):
surprised that Tim Disney had never heard of Lyndy Korn.
He's I know he is, but I'm like just out
there in the ether. I thought maybe that he might have,
if not familiar with her whole ouvre, maybe he'd heard
the name Jason's in Glendale, California. One of my best
friends lives there. Maybe he's Jason's neighbor Jackson Hilton Head,
(02:28:47):
South Carolina. And we have a number of bureau chiefs
up in Canada. As well. Robin is in Toronto. By
the way, Mariner's up three to two in the bottom

else mashed?

Yeah, never heard of that, all right?
Speaker 8 (02:30:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:30:24):
AnyWho, thank you? Uh if you listen on the app,

it moist exactly with these Now, I really know I
want to.
Speaker 2 (02:31:10):
Make you're gonna go. I'm a little bag kaded. Had
butter tarts every buddy delicious. Yeah. You see a chopper
crash I did. That's crazy crazy in Huntington Beach. Boy,
they are lucky. This thing landed in some palm trees.
I don't know if there's an update on what happened.
(02:31:31):
They think a bird strike hit the tail rotor, but
I didn't see anything like that in there. There's a
bird that crosses its path but didn't come anywhere near
the rotor unless it's you know, something obviously that we missed.
If you're on the live stream you haven't seen this,
I'll show to you. It's people on the beach there
in Huntington Beach, California. Who are you know? They're at
the beach, so they're filming and there's a chopper that
(02:31:51):
looks like it's getting ready of land, and then some
happens and it crashes.
Speaker 6 (02:31:58):
I thought it was AI at first, honestly, Like watching
the video that like the way that it was coming in,
and that's what sucks.
Speaker 2 (02:32:04):
Now, everything you see you're like, okay, this is even real.
They're trying to sell me something. You know, crashes and
in the explosion, Clorox she's like, oh, he's just change
(02:32:33):
his mind.
Speaker 8 (02:32:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32:36):
I mean they took everybody involved to the hospital, a
couple of people on the ground and the pope. I
don't think anybody died, but it's pretty crazy. You know
what's wild too, is the frame rate of these cameras
when they're filming, uh helicopter. It looks like the roator's
not moving, you know, if you match up with the
frame rate, like, it doesn't even look like the roads moving.
(02:32:57):
Huntington Beach Fire Department obviously had to respond. Multiple people
transported area hospitals, but I don't think anybody died. And
you know that's quite a tony part of southern California too. Yeah,
it just says five hospitalized. Yeah, and you can.
Speaker 3 (02:33:14):
I really don't think it was any kind of a strike.
Speaker 6 (02:33:17):
It almost looks like some like an error because he
was coming down the way that it goes back up
really fast.
Speaker 3 (02:33:24):
Either something broke or someone did something.
Speaker 2 (02:33:27):
Yeah, by sanders rush to help a young boy trapped
under the wreckage there. Yeah, and here's the story.
Speaker 6 (02:33:38):
Eric Nixon, helicopter owner in Huntington Beach crash, is daredevil
known for death defying stunts.
Speaker 2 (02:33:43):
Oh at the cars and Copter's event in Huntington Beach.
There's another angle of it.
Speaker 3 (02:33:50):
So this was like a life flight or something that
was going to I don't know if you saw the
other one.
Speaker 6 (02:33:54):
It was shot like from like the helicopter was approaching them,
so shot from the left side.
Speaker 2 (02:34:00):
You saw that street.
Speaker 6 (02:34:01):
Yeah, that's that's a pretty telling one too, because again
it looks like it's just it's kind of hovering and
then shoots up like.
Speaker 2 (02:34:07):
It looks like I don't know. Witnesses said that the
road or detached from the helicopter, the rear road sitting.
I didn't see that either. I mean, but that doesn't
just like happen. Well, but if something snapped off and
maybe meant it went into the main roader, I don't know, man,
I've been in a helicopter one time when I was
a kid once. I'm trying to think, I I've had
(02:34:29):
a helicopter ride as an adult. I don't recall travel
up and I don't know if I've had a helicopter
ride when I was a kid, though I did and uh, yeah,
that's pretty wild though, I mean, it could have been
a hell of a lot worse too. Well.
Speaker 6 (02:34:43):
I think I think what they hit is probably the
best possible scenario because they kind of got hung up
in those trees and it kind of just is.
Speaker 2 (02:34:53):
This what you're talking about, the guy underneath filming underneath, Yes,
I think so from directly underneath that's the one. Oh,
the guy like flies into the trees, he hits like
the top of the palms and then those guys were
running right there. Man.
Speaker 6 (02:35:11):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's probably equally as scary, if
not scarier, being that dude filming on the ground.
Speaker 3 (02:35:20):
Yeah, do you poop your pants? Well, I think everybody.
Speaker 6 (02:35:24):
Pooped their pants, and that's a certain scenario, right, Yeah,
but I do, like if you watch that back, I
think that's what saved people, is that, like those rotors
hit those trees and and the helicopters kind of swung
and stopped, you know, and then it fell down.
Speaker 2 (02:35:40):
Man. I remember many many years ago a helicopter crash
on the roof of a hospital. There's this documentary I
used to watch called E R Rob And there were
a whole bunch of doctors rushing out to help a
life flight chopter and golly, wouldn't you know, it crashed
and pinned the doctor underneath and cut his arm right off.
(02:36:01):
Oh my gosh. Oh yeah. Did he go on to
play drums for def Leppard? No, no, no, this would
have been probably in the late nineties, early odds.
Speaker 8 (02:36:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:36:09):
By then, Rick Allen had been playing one armed drums
for a long long time, like that at the drive
in song the one arm scissor. Yeah, that's what Rick
Allen uses when he's cutting coupons or calming himself with decupaj.
Speaker 3 (02:36:30):
I have to assume that those are among his hobbies. Alan,
I'm having rough day.
Speaker 2 (02:36:37):
The only thing stopping me from steering into a telephone
pole is knowing that I have forty solid minutes of
sweethet Alan Cox Show all the way to six thirty, Right, Yeah,
that's right, you sure do. Golly, I hope that Trucker
Russ's eventual litigation doesn't jam us up for not going
(02:37:00):
all the way up to six. I haven't there anybody
yet at the FCC, nor have I, Alan. I saw
I was behind a vanity plate on a car on
my way home that said ac skin two. Maybe it
says acs kin. Maybe this is the person who's like
(02:37:23):
I consider myself. You know, we're all like what big
family people listen the show, and so I consider myself
like a.
Speaker 3 (02:37:29):
Family, Alan Cox show Kin Ken part of our ken yep.
Speaker 2 (02:37:37):
Alan. You can see in that video of the back
roader flying off before crashing.
Speaker 3 (02:37:41):
I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 2 (02:37:42):
I didn't see that, and I was kind of looking,
but that has to be what it is, right, I
would I would imagine that that's exactly what happened. To
your point, that kind of stuff just like doesn't just happen.
Something hits it and something else. But the uh, this
guy was no for flying like an idiot. He's a daredevil.
(02:38:03):
I mean you're only I guess I was gonna say
you're only a daredevil if you walk away alive. That's
not true, right, I mean you're you're if you die,
you're still daredevil. Yeah, you just work good at it.
I wonder, I wonder what you have to do to
be considered a daredevil. If you just take a chance
one time and it works out, are you a daredevil?
Do you have to have like a record? You gotta
(02:38:27):
have kind of a resume of doing some wild, amazing things.
How did you become a professional daredevil? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:38:34):
Did they release that new season of that show?
Speaker 2 (02:38:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:38:37):
I don't watch that show. Oh it was great, I
loved it.
Speaker 6 (02:38:40):
Now I wonder, Oh, man, I forgot about that because
they were making a new season, weren't they.
Speaker 2 (02:38:44):
I think so. Vincent Deinafrio was back in the mix,
and Charlie Cox Charlie Cox in no relation, Yeah, no,
I never got into Daredevil. Never got into him is
a comic book, never got into the show. Oh man,
I gotta look that up.
Speaker 6 (02:38:56):
I forgot all about that until you just said Daredevil.
Now Daredevil.
Speaker 2 (02:39:01):
Speaking of Witch, we were talking about this last week,
and if it had shown up on my phone, I
would have said, boy, the algorithms always listening.
Speaker 3 (02:39:09):
But this was on a billboard.
Speaker 2 (02:39:11):
I was driving home sometime last week, shortly after we
had discussed the fact that there were hundreds of people
stranded on Mountain Everest trying to get down right, trying
to There were storms that came through, and so all
these people that were up there. I don't know that
the conditions had gotten life threatening yet, but like I
(02:39:32):
think one guy died, so yes, life threatening for him
in that it ended. But I'm driving home and there's
a billboard on ninety West and it's one of those
We've all seen the billboards. They kind of have a
different point to them. They're like perseverance or strength or
you know.
Speaker 9 (02:39:49):
What I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:39:49):
Like this one of Whoope Goldbergs has she grew up
with dyslexia and you know, and pass it on right
or empathy or whatever it is, and there's a billboard
on ninety West for a guy named get the guy's
name right, Eric, Eric heind mayor Eric heind Mayer. See
(02:40:18):
it's not coming up for me now, and I want
to get it right because he got his own billboard,
Eric Wayhan mayor wayhen Meyer. He's the first and only
blind person to climb Mountain Everest. He did this on
May the twenty fifth, two thousand and one. He's also
the first blind person to have climbed all of the
world seven summits, a quest he completed in two thousand
(02:40:41):
and eight. So he's a very accomplished guy, motivational speaker.
He founded an organization you may have heard of called
No Barriers to help people with challenges. So all great stuff,
and they have a billboard to that effect. It says, uh,
what does it say? It says climbed Everest period blind.
(02:41:03):
That's a big reveal, and then it says perseverance. Couldn't
you tell him he climbed Everest airs?
Speaker 8 (02:41:14):
Really?
Speaker 2 (02:41:14):
I mean, couldn't you create like a capricorn one type situation?
Remember that Sam Watterson, Jimmy Browlin, Erenthal, Jones, Simpson, all
his name was, uh, you know, they fake a Mars
landing and then the government comes to get him because
you can't have loose ends. Couldn't you tell this guy
(02:41:36):
he climbed Everest, he hit a couple of industrial sized fans,
and uh, I guess he'd figure it out, right. He's blind,
He's not put him on top of a burger king.
He's not stupid. I mean, I'm just saying like it.
It feels like you gotta help this guy along. I mean, listen,
(02:41:56):
unbelievably impressive. The guy's fifty seven years old now, so
this would have been like twenty four years ago he
did all this still a young man climbed out Capitan
in Yosemite.
Speaker 6 (02:42:12):
I wonder if he's the same guy from that news blooper.
Do you remember that news blooper where the woman says
the guy he's like and he climbed a mountain, but
the crazy part is he's gay and she goes he's
blind blind?
Speaker 2 (02:42:26):
I remember that?
Speaker 6 (02:42:27):
Yeah, Yeah, I wonder if it's the same guy, Like,
how many mountain climbers that are blind are there like this?
If he's been around forever, it's probably the same dude.
There's no description on this video that I'm finding here.
Speaker 15 (02:42:41):
Right after the break, we're going to interview Eric Wyhan
made who climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
Speaker 3 (02:42:48):
But he's gay.
Speaker 2 (02:42:49):
I mean he's gay.
Speaker 17 (02:42:50):
Excuse me, he's blind.
Speaker 6 (02:42:52):
So we'll hear about that coming as we heard of
the break, And the best part is watch that dude's
face when she says it, like literally here his butthole slam.
Speaker 2 (02:43:00):
Yeah, it's all kind of choppy here this video. It
looks like Channel seven. It's ald New York.
Speaker 15 (02:43:04):
Yeah, right after the break, we're gonna interview Eric Wyhan Mayor,
who climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
Speaker 17 (02:43:12):
But he's gay, I mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind.
So we'll hear about that coming.
Speaker 3 (02:43:18):
I mean it's no Bernie and NASAs keep fing that chicken.
Speaker 2 (02:43:21):
But it's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (02:43:22):
Well, you gotta wonder how do you mess that up? Though,
Like you're looking at the prompter. He's gay, oh, blind?
That doesn't feld the same way.
Speaker 3 (02:43:31):
Well, it would have been funny if the guy had
just played along, been like how.
Speaker 2 (02:43:35):
Could he climb him out? If he's gay? Why not
let things? Anybody can do anything they want. That Shirpo
was working overtime. Ah M, all right, well yeah that
but there's a billboard for this guy. And again, I
(02:43:55):
don't know how long it's been there, but I just
noticed it. And my first thought, who uh, because I'm
a juvenile, Why couldn't they just tell him that he did?
But I mean, he like what he was. He went
blind as a baby, so it wasn't like he was
born blind. He developed something that made him blind. But
(02:44:23):
holy cow, you feel like a real Putts. You're walking
around with all your senses doing nothing. I'm not doing anything, rob.
This guy's climbing Mountain Everest. It's from Princeton, New Jersey,
and there's a documentary film from twenty twelve called high
(02:44:44):
Ground and it's about veterans who are climbing Mountain Everest,
and he is the guy leading the expedition. It'd be
pretty wild, though, right to your point, you tying in
daredevil your other senses after summoning so many mountains like that,
(02:45:07):
his senses must be so tuned into all of the
kind of the variables when you're up there. Holy cow.
I mean, you know, imagine somebody introduces you to this guy, like, oh,
he wants to lead an expedition to climb Everest and
somebody kind of you know, gives him a look. He's like, oh,
I've done it a bunch of times. He's one of
(02:45:29):
only one hundred and fifty mountaineers to complete the Seven Summits.
Now that was in that was twenty years ago, but
the only blind person to do it. Holy mackerel. And
he's gay. At he's gay blind blind, he's.
Speaker 17 (02:45:47):
Right.
Speaker 15 (02:45:47):
After the break, we're going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayer,
who climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest.
Speaker 17 (02:45:53):
But he's gay, I mean he's gay. Excuse me, he's blind.
So we'll hear about that coming as.
Speaker 3 (02:45:59):
We heard of the brain. Okay, that's uh, that's Floss
way ahead of Lebron.
Speaker 2 (02:46:03):
Oh, a big mistake there. Let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (02:46:06):
Apologize for what just happened on your television.
Speaker 2 (02:46:08):
At again, I always got live coverage here with his
Sherpa Booty is where the dodo is for what that's that?
Speaker 3 (02:46:15):
But I'm sorry, Valley is not correct.
Speaker 2 (02:46:18):
Talk about Broke Back.
Speaker 10 (02:46:19):
Mountain gaye hawk, I want some gay gay it's gonna
be yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:46:24):
Broke Back Mountain. I never saw that either same.
Speaker 2 (02:46:29):
Yeah, I know what premise. Don't get me wrong. I
got no problem spitting in your hands. Somebody's gotta do it,
all right, listen, Just like that, it's time to go home.
Speaker 9 (02:46:45):
Over it Now, I must leave you as the Brady
bunch is on and I find four of those children
incredibly arousing.
Speaker 2 (02:46:53):
Get out of here.
Speaker 16 (02:46:54):
Be careful of what you say, Be careful and way,
be careful of what you do. Big Brother is watching you.
Be circumspect and discreet, Stay light on your mental feet.
(02:47:15):
One slip and you know you're through. Big Brother is
watching you.
Speaker 5 (02:47:22):
And with all narratives, remember obedience paid. And when you
watch that davy screens, remember it works both ways.
