Speaker 3 (01:03):
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (01:04):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Good afternoon, greetings, welcome, welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
My name is Alan Cox. You just heard it there,
but I'll say it again. You know, you can never
say it too much. There's Rob Anthony, Rob Anthony over there?

Speaker 3 (01:16):
What's up man? What's up?

Speaker 7 (01:17):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
On the one year anniversary of Rob Anthony joining the show.
Oh that's right, this company was kind enough to double
his salary. Yeah, yeah, and one year ago today, it
was a very difficult time for me, rob right, they
had just taken my legs out from under me.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
That was insane. They had come to me one week prior.
It was election week.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
It was the week of the presidential election, so I
was already Yeah, it was already a weird vibe, right,
nobody knew what was going to happen. And I was
out there in the suite on a Monday morning, getting
ready for the big, big show like o'normally would, and
they were like, hey, can we can we talk to
you for a second in one of the conference rooms
And I said sure, you know, and I didn't think

(02:05):
anything over it. Usually my radar, you know, I've been
professionally paranoid for thirty years. But you know around these parts, boy,
they leave me alone. And maybe they had lulled me
into a false sense of something. So I went in
there and they go, so we're letting Bill and Mary go,
and I just kind of stood there and looked at him.
I'm like, you guys know, it's my whole show, right,
like I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Here, and but we've got this great solution for you.
And then they stuck their head out the conference room.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Door and they were like, hey, who's out there.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I was like, so what hey? He answered.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Rob was at his desk and he had the unfortunate
luck to turn his head. And you know, it's like
when I'm in public and somebody goes, hey, Jag, I
always turned my head because I assume that, you know,
I never know, well maybe they can't remember my name,
you know. And then I said, well, then I'm gonna
run best of us for the remainder of the week,
and I'm going to go dunk my head and boiling oil,

(03:00):
and we'll come back and see what it looks like
until we returned on Veterans Day.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Never forget Octo Thorpe. Never forget.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Of course, today is Veterans Day, but it's also Rob's
one year anniversary on the program. The accolade is already
coming in fast and curious Rob for you. In fact,
you know, the one year anniversary gift Rob is traditionally paper. Yeah,
And so I took all of thirty seconds and I
went into our communal refor I got a paper cup

(03:28):
and I put in one of our Cleveland Brown's branded
bud Light cans. Look at that for the one year
anisya cheers?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's oh, that's the good stuff right there.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
That's good boy. Oh that bud light. It doesn't always
taste better when you're working. Oh that bud light. I'll
tell you what they are. Oh we do that football
thing with them. Oh, bud light. They have a I'll
tell you that product.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
AnyWho. So, uh, but you brought something into didn't you.
I didn't. I did. Yeah, we can get to that
whenever you want. I can get it now. Whatever, we'll
do it. We got a lot of shows, so it.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Will so you know, Oh pardon me, Oh it's like that,
is it? Well you were sipping on this arm Well yeah,
I know. But see Rob likes the finer things. Maybe
you are coming to the program for the very first time.
Coincidentally on Rob's first anniversary. Yeah, by the way, the
the it is also the third anniversary of my viseectomy.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
That was the other thing. Big day.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's of course Veterans Day. It is the one year
anniversary of Rob joining the program. I think, by the way,
it's safe to say after one year, to the delight
of this audience. You know, it's a very tough transition anytime. Uh,
people have to get used to new people on a
show that they've become a customed you know, a lot

(05:00):
of listening is habitual and you get to know people,
and you know, nobody was more distressed about it than
I was, of course, but that trickles down to the audience.
And but yeah, the third anniversary of my vaseectomy. Golly
had I done it earlier? Rob, were having a very
different conversation, but in the capable hands of one doctor

(05:22):
Ryan Bergland. It was a snip, snip in and out.
You know, I got a very nice letter from our
buddy Mark Gaynor. You know, he's always very complimentary of us.
He always sends us nice letters and things. And he
said a thing in wishing you a very happy anniversary.
It's a big, long letter.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
You want to read it. You read what he.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Wrote on I always am happy to hear nice things. Okay,
I'll get them all. I'll just read it as written, right, Ellen, Rob.
The week of November fourth, twenty twenty four was a dark, miserable,
and uncertain time. Bill's shocking post that he was quote
done at WMMS, coupled with Mary's sudden termination, seemed to

(06:06):
signal the doomsday scenario the end of the Alan Cock
Show horrific. He writes, March's a teacher, right, so he's
He's very literary in his flourishes. I think since twenty
eighteen the show has become a mainstay in my life,
particularly during my eighty mile a day commute. Wob Jesus,

(06:26):
oh God. I cannot think of anything or any one
that's made me laugh harder than the show. As I've
expressed to Alan on many occasions, he is simply, in
all caps, robbed the best. How do you like that?

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Look at this?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
So the prospect of losing the show was harrowing. Again,
great word, a little hyperbolic, but okay. Monday, November the eleventh,
twenty twenty four, round two o'clock. I finally unclenched when
Alan signed back on Yeah, because I had gone radio
silent that entire week. Everybody was blowing me up. Obviously
I didn't say anything. I said all everything I have

(06:58):
to say, I'll say when in the year. But hold
on a second, Mark says somebody from management is the
new co host? Rob is of course the program director
here at WMMS. Would the chemistry is sound clunky or awkward?
This new guy Rob will not be able to replace
Bill and Mary? Will he No, it did not take
long to warm to him. Mark says, and my reservations

(07:19):
completely vanished in days. How do you like that he
had some reservations and they proceeded to vanish. Rob's are
you ready for a bunch of adjectives? Rob's personality, sincerity, warmth, decency, Rob,
these are his words, not mine. Temper, anger, candor, humility,
wit and talent infinitely enhance the show. His impressions are dynamite, like,

(07:43):
for instance, said yeah, Tony soprano, christ.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Let's go. I love any impression you can do in
two words, and that's the best. It's it.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
It has been a triumphant year for WMMS thanks to
you guys. The compatibility is nothing less than symbiotic. Boy,
He's in and I'm thick. Thank you, Mark Thick. Thank
you feeding on each other. All spectacular radio is fluid
and corporations are heartless. Oh boy, never was that more true.
So it's with the deepest hope that Captain Fun and
the clip Rattler continue together for many years. Thank you
for a spectacular here fellas. Rob, your edition saved the show.

(08:16):
You and Allan kill it every day. Well done, Happy
anniversary and happy third snip snip ac Thank you, Mark,
appreciate that handover heart. I love you bitches, I love
you bitch, I love you bitch. No, thank you Mark,
that's very very nice. Yes, no, listen, I could have
been I would have been really screwed had Rob not
come on the show.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Is it worked out?

Speaker 8 (08:37):
I had.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I've had many men.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Permutations of this show over the years, and I will
always manage to keep the ship afloat. But there are
ebbs and flows with anything. So there's a nice letter
there from Mark. Rich is a little less articulate in
the chat. He says, popping in to say happy anniversary.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm glad iHeart has not decided Rob is too expensive,
so that's good. Yeah, right, it's it's the same meeting,
just said differently. Yes, much more succinct, I guess correct. Yeah,
So okay, anyway, congratulations.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Friend once again.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, there you go, Salo, Hey, and we'll grab mine
not later on hell little something something you know, I mean, and.

Speaker 9 (09:17):
We do have.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
We will be talking soon too, at more length about
someone that we're bringing into the fold too.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Yeah that we're excited about him.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
As long as you can pass a what do you
call that background ship should be fine.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, well when did that ever stop anybody?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Allen Cox show on one hundred. Of course he stays.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
Calm when someone steals his stuff from.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
The company fridge. He needs that energy for when he
poops in their gas tank. Allen Cox one seven wmms.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm making may sound like I'm a badass there, but
of course I would never do anything as untoward as that.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
What I that's my perfect alibi right there. We gotta
wait for the right one. Like you gotta know that's
the day you can put something into a gas tangle.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Nobody stole your thing, I hope out of the fridge. No, no,
it's it's it's still.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
In there, all right. But hey the Cavalier's boy.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
They lose an overtime last night an Ali oop play
from the Miami Heats.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Did you watch that?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, No, I didn't see the game. I was I
was refreshing my phone to watch the uh uh to
see the score changes. You know, there's like four seconds
left in ot and uh they were down by three,
and I'm like, oh, come on cast And then I
saw one and I'm.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
Like, yeah, bitch, second overtime And I fell back to sleep.
And then I woke up and I'm.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Like, oh my god, they scored on an inbounds play.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, but haven't they I thought they were gonna win
because haven't they heard that song?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Which one?

Speaker 2 (10:52):
You gotta make it happens, right, That's what they says.
He's like, Larry Wilton, what's the guys? You gotta make
it a not much more they could have done than
this love and all ooptoh boy, oh so good? How
about one point four seconds?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Those are the killer finish for Miami.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Anyway, They will play them again Wednesday night, your Cavalier's
hopefully with better results still in Miami, of course, seven
thirty tomorrow night, that's the seven o'clock pregame. Cavaliers fans,
by the way, might remember the name Andrew Wiggins, right,
He's from Canada.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
He's a player from Toronto.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Second year in a row that the Calves just coincidentally,
who was the other kid the year before, because they
grabbed Andrew Wiggins in twenty fourteen, Barnett or somebody like that,
some other guy. Both of them went first overall to
the Calves and these guys were gonna be these and
they both flopped. Well actually Andrew Wiggins. I don't think
ever played with the Cavaliers. They immediately dealt him to Minnesota.

(12:00):
But yeah, they he got drafted first overall and then
didn't play here. They sent him to Minnesota that summer.
But the Cavaliers will take another crack at the Miami Heat.
I imagine Eric Spolster walking through the remains of his
house by the way, right out there in Coral Gables.

(12:20):
His house burned down while they were on the road. Yeah,
last week is walking you know, ankle deep in the
ashes or whatever.

Speaker 11 (12:26):
It's gonna suck.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
I wonder if he has even had time to do that.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I mean, they're playing basketball games, I would assume, so
if he takes time for a couple of days, you know,
you probably take a quick quick pats through it.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Hey take me to where my house used to be.
What you go look like is the safe intact? You
know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Like in a house like that, That's the first thing
they're going to is like, did the fire proof safe
to its job?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I guess so Darius Garland re injures himself. Great, Yeah,
well listen, hey couldn't happen at a better time. Calves
and heat both seven and four. So listen, Cavs lose,
but a thrilling into the game, right, Yeah, you hate
to see that though. You can't let that happen. No,
I mean that sucks, yeah, all of it. But I'm

(13:11):
just uh for the excitement purposes of it. A lot
of people wishing you a first happy anniversary, rob on
the text. Of course, some people have to make it
about themselves. And it's Noah's fifty third birthday. He's one
of our bureau chiefs in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Happy birthday, Noah. Stephanie is thirty six. Happy birthday, Stephanie.

Speaker 2 (13:28):

to get knocked up, So enjoy that on congratulations birthday,

see who else checking.

wonderful day.

You think you're having a big day. Five hundred bucks
off a scratcher? What's the most you play scratchers at all?
Like on occasion literally the only time, like if their
stocking stuff is at Christmas or something very very rarely.
I I don't carry cash often. Did you ever win
big issh yes on a scratcher? What's the most you

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:16):
When was this?

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
I had just let me think I was. Were you
crapping your pants? Yeah? Did you see it? Like eight
different ways and go this can't be right, Like, yeah, my.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
First thought honestly, because this is how my brain works,
because I am a broken person. Uh, each of the
things that I want had a dollar amount, and I
was like, why couldn't it have been a thousand? Instead
it was like five hundred dollars each thing. I scratched up,
and I'm like, man, if it was just that, it
would have been double.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
But but yeah, no, it was. That was awesome. I
used it. How old were you? How long ago is it?
Were you a single guy?

Speaker 14 (15:51):
Carry?

Speaker 3 (15:52):
No, Caitlin was born, so this is probably thousand dollars
how much of teen years ago?

Speaker 9 (15:57):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (15:57):
You take all of it?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Right? You do?

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Take all that? You pay ten cash? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (16:00):
On the other on the at the end of the year,
ten grand, yeah, you just I went to the lottery
office and they're like, oh, congratulations, Do you want cash
or check?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
And I said I'll take a check because I knew
I couldn't be trusted because ten thousand dollars of cash
in your pocket. Could I get it in singles?

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah? Could I get it in fives?

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Please? I'm just gonna walk right across the street to
the Nudi bar right there. So singles are fine, I'm
gonna make it rain for one night and one night only.
Could I get it in fives and Two's any chance
that I could get five thousand two dollars bills? Please?

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:30):
And I just I did everything wrong with it, Like
I should have paid bills. I should have done this.
I blew it on what name it? I just I
wanted something. I went, I want that. I'm gonna get
something for Melissa. Oh look, I'm gonna go buy a
little power Wheels jeep for my daughter. Like, I just
was whatever I wanted to do. Yeah, free money, found money,
didn't care. Right ten tax time came and I was like, oh,

(16:53):
should have saved some of that. I was gonna say,
sock some of it away.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
I didn't ellen.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
A customer came into my bank with a million dollars
scratch off wanted to use it as collateral for a
loan for Christmas gifts.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Why would you do that?

Speaker 15 (17:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Cash, just cash the check or the scratcher million dollars jesus.
I literally think the most I've ever won on a
scratcher is fifty dollars. Yeah, well that until that point,
and since then, that's all that I was ever it
was like, you know, he won fifty bucks or a
hundred bucks or whatever. Tell you he needs a lot
of money. And I assume he makes it as Stefan Diggs. Boy,

(17:28):
this guy likes to leave it in all.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
At the same time.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Dude, Stefon Digs and a d this is on your
New England Patriots Rob Well, now, but this guy's like
a big deal in habits.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
From the Bills.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Well, I was gonna say, I thought he was with
the Vikings, but I guess he was with a handful
of teams, right, the Bills. Yeah, that was he drafted
with the Vikings. Yeah, anyway, he's made the round. Stefon Diggs.
He's thirty one. You know, it's getting along in the
tooth in the NFL. And I guess a DNA test

(18:02):
proved that he knocked up some TikTok influencers something. Cardi
b is pregnant with one of his kids and two
other women and two other women. Yeah, you got four
kids with four chicks. Yeah, And I mean, listen, we've
gone round and round about this over the years. I
always think about Antonio Cromarty, right, I think he is

(18:22):
He's the alpha when it comes to this stuff. This
is the guy where they asked him to name all
of his thirteen kids and he kind of flamed out
around number six.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
But I assume it's just a flex. I guess. I
guess it's a flex if.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
You in that environment, if you have that many kids
and that many baby mamas or whatever baby's mama like
attorneys general. But I just don't get wanting to torch
all your cash. I mean, there must be a thing
in your brain where you're like, I'll just I'll have
all this money forever, except you won't. CARDI b doesn't

(18:56):
need your money. So maybe that's part of it. And
he probably enters in to some form of Oh he
enters into something and then leaves it there.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, he enters into a lot of vaginas.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
But I think there has to be some form of
an agreement once, Hey, I'm pregnant, let's make sure it's mine,
it's yours. Okay, ten thousand dollars a month or.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Something, I mean, that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
It's still you're gonna be paying out something every month,
for sure. But he's having siple women, he's having kids.
Maybe he wants a nice wants to put together his
own football team. Now in his in his defense, I
wouldn't be able to pull out of Cardi B in
a million years, right, or Nicki Minaj in a million years.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
It would be macaroni in a pot. That's a what.
That's all what.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
So they had to do a DNA test to confirm
that he is the father of model a Leen Loperez
baby girl.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
So the baby's he's got a little girl. Cardi B
is expecting their child as well.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Cardi B was very excited over the weekend at Stefan
Tig's performance with the Patriots, and this girl. I have
to assume that she went this route because he's like
this on my kid, except man, you know it's your kid, right.
I mean you might try to, you know, kind of
get her off the scent or something, but you know
what you do. He initially disputed the claim, saying better

(20:16):
to take a DNA test. I mean, listen, better safe
than sorry, And the results conclusively identified that he was
the biological father. So he's got a little newborn there.
He's got a bunch of kids with some other people.
And but these guys, even if you're making eight figures,
it's like, why do you just want Why do you
want to give so much of your money? Taking care

(20:39):
of the kids is one thing, right, But I mean
the baby mommy, you got her on the hook, so
you know, or she's got you on the hook, Kanye
saying about just refer to that A. He spelled the
whole thing out. You know, I don't think anybody worth
their salt isn't going to want to take care of
the kids. But then you know, I need thirty six
grand you know, a month to take care of.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Me or whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
That's literally about him. You see him on TV any
given Sunday. What does he drive home in Hyndi? Yeah, yeah,
because it rhymes right. Multiple sources report that Cardi B
was unaware of the situation till recently. Oh you think, yeah,
But again, yeah he didn't. He wasn't dating or at
the time, wasn't dating Cardi B.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
No.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Oh, so he works fast, he works fast.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Okay, he has a nine year old daughter from somebody
else he has well, now he's going to have two
infants within months of each other. But again, I always
you know, clearly, my brain works differently and I'm not
operating on that same wavelength where it must just be
a flex that you got a bunch of kids, and
it's like, you know, I love all my kids, but

(21:47):
I hear chut ching when people talk about kids. Of course,
if you're doing it right, I hear chut ching. And again,
I'm not making eight figures. And I assume that he
is making that kind of money. But man, because you know,
he was like, come on, not mine, come on. You know,
he was trying to get more in the mix. You're

(22:08):
not the father, but he is the father. And it's
not like the guy makes he makes three million dollars base,
so he got twelve million to sign, He gets a
two hundred thousand dollars workout bonus, there's incentives and stuff. Yeah,
but he's topping out at like sixteen million dollars a year. Now,
that's a lot of money. You ain't get to go

(22:30):
broke on that. But when you got like four or
five you know, when you're kicking out checks. By the way,
you're paying your agent, right, you're a professional athlete, your
agent gets a huge cut. You're paying all kinds of people.
A lot of these guys are like paying their boys
from the neighborhood, you know, so that money can go
a way real fast. I mean three million dollars a

(22:52):
year base salary. That's not a ton of money in
the NFL. Again, none of this personally impacts me. Oh
you look at one plays though.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's why there's such a difference between his total comp
and what his base is. The Patriots have always done
a fancy mass to keep people very well compensated while
staying under the salary. Yeah, that's what they did with
Tom Brady forever. Brady worked for the home field discount.
Stephan Diggs wanted to be there. Yeah, so he took
a lousy salary, but his total comp is sixteen million.
Who doesn't, I mean that's pretty good. The guy that

(23:24):
walked in with that million dollar scratch off to the
bank that Texter said he wasn't getting paid on the
scratcher until after January and wanted the money, wanted the
collateral for Christmas gifts. Boy, imagine that right. You're like,
I don't even have money for Christmas gifts. This could
not have come in general at a better time. But
I don't get it until after Christmas. But guys, you're
gonna get deferred Christmas gifts for me?

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Can you wait? Two weeks because I just want a
million dollars. Is that guy never stay home sick in
his entire life?

Speaker 10 (23:50):
Because I've seen that JG Wentworth eight seven to seven
cash now commercial eight million times?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
That's what it's for.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Is that what it is? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
So how was that not the first phone call? Anuwity
is what it is?

Speaker 16 (24:01):
Right?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:02):
G Worth eight seven seven cash? No, yeah, I don't
want to wait. I just won the lottery and I
can't wait to get it.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
I need my money now, JG Wentworth. I guess that
is a bop, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
I have a scratcher. It's worth a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Eight seven seven cash now, Alan, he should celebrate Orthodox Christmas.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
That doesn't happen until January.

Speaker 15 (24:38):
Yeah, do that?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Convert celebrate Orthodox Christmas?

Speaker 7 (24:41):
Right?

Speaker 3 (24:42):
You get wine. There's a goat in the basement. Man,
We did that back in the day. It's delicious.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Also, easily figure out who you want to get Christmas
presents for. Be like things are tough, you know, I uh,
I'm gonna do my best. I'll take Harry in the
new year. And you know, okay, man, whatever, sure you
will year off the list.

Speaker 10 (25:00):
Screw you and the person that's like, oh, Bob, you
don't have to worry about it, man, I know you're
a good dude. That's the person you get it on
buying you a helicopter. Guess what I just did, paid
off your mortgage. That guy can kiss my.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Ass, that's right, boom can huff my taint. That's about that.
You know who your friends Christmas?

Speaker 3 (25:21):
That's right? A big old whiff yep.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Shampagne from a real friends and real pain from a
sham friends. All my friend won a million dollars in
the lottery and he's working at a call center for Spectrum.
Does that mean that he still likes to work he
needs so much more information or that he threw it?

Speaker 5 (25:42):
How?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
I mean?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
You get a million bucks, you can suck half of
it away and never have to do anything and just
let that half a mill sit You can still, I know,
I know you can. I would like to put a
bug in the ear of the Haslim group. Is that
what they're called? They are the Ism group?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Right?

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Jimmy Haslam, owner of the Cleveland Browns, All this Michiga
is about the move to Brook Park and what's going
to happen. I think a lot of that dust has settled.
I think the lawsuits have gone away. Might be free
stragglers here and there, but the plan is in place
to build this brand new domed stadium out there in
brook Park. Now, as with everything else with that organization,

(26:22):
the payoff will be a mere fraction of the promise. Nevertheless,
you take your wins where you can. And I was
watching a TikTok video of this big arena in London.
It's called the Velodrome, and this was built about a
decade back when the Olympics were in London. You know,
they build venues when the Olympics are coming, right yep,

(26:42):
and they go oh even when the Olympics. You know,
all these cities try to get the Olympics, saying it's
going to make all this money. There isn't one city
on the planet that's made money from the Olympics. And
when the Olympics leave town, these venues sit there, a
lot of them going to disrepair, a lot of them
are used. Velodrome is six thousand seats. And a guy

(27:03):
took a piece of video because the way that this
thing was built, and I assume it was in the
interest of making it environmentally friendly, but they call it
the Pringle locally because how it looks a picture of
it there, and it does.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
It looks like a pringle potato crisp right out the can.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
Now.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
The ventilation system and this venue is still used cost
ninety five million pounds to build, but they called it
Pringle locally, and because it has timber ventilation system. It
has long planks of wood so that wind can go
through it and pass through it. What it does is

(27:40):
what somebody determined was. I don't know if this is
the first person to determine. This first person I saw
is at anytime there's a fireworks display near this building,
the resulting shock wave pushes sounds through the timber ventilation
that makes it sound like the building is farting. And

(28:00):
I would love for them to do this for Brown Stadium. Right,
you can check off I know Jimmy Haslum probably doesn't care,
but you could check off the quote unquote environmentally friendly
box and have some room left over for us juveniles
to laugh. So, and there are fireworks nearby, this guy
says to the building farts.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
So just consider that anybody with the Haslam group, just
please consider that not necessarily for that part, but it
might be worth looking into sound would match what was
actually happening on the field. Yes, oh hey, is that

(29:27):
billy farting? No, it just smells because the Browns are playing.
It's just a home game. The Allen Cox Show on

Speaker 2 (30:07):
I got those Blue Oyster Cult tickets about twenty minutes away, Vedan.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
I'm surprised at how many people have been hitting me
up for those.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Just in general, but I will have those for you
the remainder of the week, Bluister Cult, of course, as
we pointed out yesterday, along with so many other bands
hot on the heels of this year's Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame induction ceremony, it was live on Saturday night.
Blue Oyster Cult still not in the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, and it's one of those bands that
might not be top of mind, but they got a

(30:38):
lot of hits and they're coming through to play a show.
Are you going to this?

Speaker 3 (30:42):
I'm going to try to.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go too. Blue Oyster Cult
is November twentieth at the Agora.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
That is not far off.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
That is one week from this Thursday, and so I'll
have those for you. Somebody wrote me a letter, explain
to me Alan in layman's terms.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
You know, Ray b, I'm nothing if not a layman.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
How it is that Neil Girardo gets into the Hall
of Fame as Pat Benatar's guitarist and husband. Of course,
that's their connection here. Neil Girardo is from Cleveland, and
so there's a lot of regional affection for Pat Benatar
and Neil Girardo.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
I Contina Turner, Sonny and Cher.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
When we talk about Pat Benattar in terms of influence,
it's her influence on females, the way she dressed, the
way she's sang about empowerment, blah blah blah. Nobody talked
about Neil Girardo and his guitar playing, nothing personal about him.
I just never understood how it is that they went
into the Hall of Fame as Neil Girardo and Pat Benatar.
If that's the case, every guitar player that's gotten in

(31:43):
as part of a band should be inducted. It should
be Journey and Neil Sean Foreigner and Mick Jones. Well,
those guys did get in, but they're in the band.
I guess he means, why was he singled out or
named specifically, because guarantee that's what she said she wanted going.

(32:03):
I will go in if you do this. Yeah, those guys,
those guys are ride or died. They've been married for
like forty five years or something, So yeah, I'll go in.
You better give it up for Neil Girardoll.

Speaker 10 (32:13):
It was like when they played the festival, the iHeartRadio
Music Festival, you had to say Neil Girardo every time
you said Pat Benatar, And I'm like, the hell I do?

Speaker 12 (32:22):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Is that was that the case?

Speaker 5 (32:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (32:24):
I mean, at the end of no offense, great guitar
player that belongs in the Hall of Fame. Sure, but
when you're talking about going to see Pat Benatar, I
don't necessarily cares playing guitar.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, but you know what I get there.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
I mean, if you want people to start considering something,
you just repeat it to them. You just keep saying
it for sure, and pretty soon people go Pap Pedataran,
Neil Gerardo, all right, it's her husband and he's been
in the band forever, right, didn't he do Rico Suave?
That is Girardo rob Yeah, yeah, not Neil Giraldo. Oh old,

(33:00):
Giraldo's who were talking Gerardo? Now everybody remembers Rico Suave.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, I was.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
The better song was called when the Lights Go Out?
Do you remember the follow up to Rico Suave?

Speaker 3 (33:15):
I don't think anybody else does.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
When I first got into radio, I was working dance
radio in Chicago and it was the only place that
would put me on. And I knew Dick about Dick,
but I like percussive music, right, and yeah, Girardo, everybody
knew Rico Suave. But the follow up was called when
the Lights Go Out, and that, to me was the
superior song.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
It's all terrible, but and this is not guitars, okay, thinking.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
You've got to make the same sound.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Well the lights go Wow.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
I don't know if I ever heard this.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
On the light.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
By the way, that was a good looking dude boy.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
If anybody was gonna, you know, you got a lot
of dudes out there, rap and hip hop and pop
music or whatever. He's singing these sexy, sultry songs, but
they're pretty beat right, They're visually unpleasant.

Speaker 10 (34:11):
And they took a model and said, hey, can you
put out a pop song? And he's like, I don't know.
I guess I could try.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yeah, what he sang, he was singing. The guy's sixty
years old, he's back home living in Ecuador. I think
good old Spanish cooking. If I hate it, i'd be pulkin.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Girardo Rico same yeah, yeah, huge hit with Reas. So
a different guy, is what you're saying.

Speaker 15 (34:36):
Rob.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
You know what, I'm gonna give you a break because
today's your one year anniversary. Normally i'd be reading you
the Riot Act, but you know what, I'm gonna take
a step back, thank you. I'm gonna be curious, not judgmental.
Why do you think Girardo is Why do you think
Rico Suave is Pat Benatar's husband? Well, I'm just gonna
ask you a question. Have you ever heard Pat Benatar's

(34:58):
husband sing?

Speaker 7 (34:59):
Now?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
No?

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Okay? And I also haven't seen these two in the
same room together.

Speaker 10 (35:04):
Oh, I'm just throwing it out there now, very very
very similar name.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Right, Dave, are you a rico suave fan? I mean,
who knows better that whole like sultry vibe than navidly Roth? Right, yeah,
big fan. So now Girarda is sixty, Neil Giraldo is
probably a good fifteen years older than Anyway, I don't
know if Neil Giraldo is a good guitar player. I'm

(35:32):
sure he is, I just know. But here's the thing too,
I wonder if it was ever a point of contention
that she's been married to him for forty five years. Right,
but she kept her first husband's name. I mean her
name was obviously she's a Polish girl or something, so
her given name was like a line of consonants, like
my wife's name, maiden name. But she was married to

(35:54):
a guy named Dennis Benatar. She kept his name jin
switch it to Pat Gerald. There might have been a
hot cup of coffee where she was doing that. But
they're like, look, this is an asset here. You're a brand. Yeah,
you're a known Yeah. Anyway, that is my long winded
answer to your relatively short email about why would they
single out Neil Giraldo. I'm pretty sure it's because Pat

(36:17):
Benatar said this is how I want it done. Yes,
And it's not like they're gonna put their no. We'd
rather have no Pat Benattar in the rock call than
mention your husband.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, Pat Benattar, by the way, on the well, by
the way. I mentioned this because there is a thing, Oh,
Pat Benatar, there you go, she is in the top three.
There's a website called Ranker and they have the one
hundred best female rock singers and they've ranked them and

(36:52):
the top three are Ann Wilson, and Wilson's number one
on this hmm, Stevie Nicks and Pat Benattar. That's how
it was getting on that Pepe thing.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Number three on this. I don't think I could disagree
with that.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Those are the top three there. This is one of
those things that where then you go deeper into the list,
you go, I don't know. Tina Turner at number five,
it's pretty goddamn good, pretty good. Now Joan Jet comes
in at number eight, and I don't consider her a
great singer. Now, this is best female singers in rock.
So it's not that like they have to have some amazing,
perfect pitch. It's got to be the full package for

(37:25):
rock and roll.

Speaker 11 (37:26):
Now.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
You might recall Joan Jet is number one on the
list of celebrity female rock singer cameltoe. Yes, Debbie Harry
is on there. I don't know the state of her cameltoe.
She's a woman in her advanced years now, Annie Lennox,
how is it to be? Ann Wilson at number one?
And Nancy Wilson is number.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Ten well, and.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Nancy is not as known as a singer, She's more
of a guitar player, right, Grace Slick, I'm a big
I don't know if you remember a couple of years
ago you like Gorillas at all? Okay, Damon albarn who
was in a band called Blur and technically still is.
But a lot of people know the band Gorillas. I'm
a big fan of theirs, and they did an album
a couple of years ago called Cracker Island that was great,

(38:09):
but I didn't notice people paying attention to it.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
It was a lot of collaborations.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Did the title song with Thundercat, who I'm a huge
fan of, and but he did a song with stev
Nix called Oil and I didn't hear anybody talking about it,
and I didn't hear you. Know, you figure maybe you're
right down the middle. Gorillas fan has a passing notion
of Sevie Nicks.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
But I liked it all.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
I mean, again, you're gonna be able to give anything
to Cevnix that you couldn't make it smoke.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Hey, where did they put Chrissy Hine on that list?
Did you say? I did not?

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I mean she would have to be top five from Agron, Ohio.
Christy Hind is number twelve.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Really all right? See that one.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
I would argue she should probably be higher, she should
be top. She's wedged in between Grace Slick and Christine McVie.
I think I had a dream like that the other night.
Christy Hind was wedged in between Gray Slick and Christine McVie.
Interesting that I think that she probably should be higher,
definitely higher than Nancy Wilson. Of course they have little
bios on these, and again it's just a website that
like ranks, pay some people's votes whatever. Yeah, that's all

(39:30):
this website does, called Ranker And now when people get mad,
that's a website spelled r A n c O R
rank Corps.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
AnyWho.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, so Grace Slick is on there, and Chrissy Hind,
Christine McVie, Carol King, Bonnie Rait. I don't necessarily think
of Bonnie Raight as a rock performer, even though she is.
She's very talented, amazing guitar player, and frankly, I think
quite lovely. I always had a little bit of a
crush on Bonnie right back in the day to play

(40:12):
the hell out of a steel pedal guitar. Carly Simon
I had the opposite of a crush on her, but
JT took care of her. Amy Lee of Evan Essence
is number seventeen. She might be the highest ranked like
contemporary singer on the list.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah, youngest easily is Linda Ron Santina Turner. Is Tina
Turner dead? Am I misremembering?

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (40:36):
She died? Okay.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
I think the last time they had the inductions here
at the Rock Hall in Cleveland is when Tina Turner
got in.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
What about Rida? Where do they have her?

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Lida Ford? Yeah, she should be top twelve. I don't
see her on here.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Cindy Lauper is
number twenty oh, who could forget the lilting tones of
when Cindy Lauper actually Cindy Lauper.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Remember the first time you heard her talk?

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Yeah, right back in the MTV days they would do
these interviews with her and kind of what was put on.
But she has a very thick like Brooklyn or Bronx
or something, and which was obviously when a lot of
people with accents sing, it disappears when they're singing and
they're speaking voice very different. But Dolores o'reardon, the late
front woman for the Cranberries, number twenty two, Joni Mitchell, Adele,

(41:30):
Belinda Carlisle, Susie Sue, Amy Winehouse, she on there probably, Oh,
Sarah McLaughlan, Foxy.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Show Crow. Yeah, oh there's lead of Ford number thirty. Yes,
he should be higher, all right, sir.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
I'm not not for like she hasn't had the most hits,
but when you talk about like female vocalists, let me
she should absolutely be hired. Let me see who's dead last.
This is the top fifty female rock singers or is
it one hundred?

Speaker 7 (42:00):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Hold on? Sorry because I thought it was fifty, but
it keeps going. Oh, top one hundred yeah, one hundred,
got Susie Quatro. I mean we're getting down into like
there's Susie Sue number sixty three. I mean, once you're
outside the top ten, do you care? You know, nobody's
gonna be like Avril Levine. Hey I'm number sixty seven.
Nobody's doing that.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
Top twenty. I think matters twenty. I think so right, Like,
if you're in the top twenty of anything in your life,
you've done very good. Jos Josh Stone number eighty. Do
you remember Josh Stone. I loved her.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
She was gonna be the next big thing. They signed
her when she was like sixteen. She was British. There
was this like time in the early oughts where they
were signing like every young British girl who had kind
of a smoky, dusty Springfield vibe going on. Yeah, so
there was Joss Stone. There was a singer named h Duffy,
remember Duffy. But she got like she had a terrible

(42:56):
thing happened to her. I think like she got assaulted
by her producers or something and it completely railed their career.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Oh I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Yeah, there was a whole there was a whole wave
of those female singers in the early odds.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Oh, I'd never heard that it was Anne Vega Burke
Susanne Vega kissed my Ass, worst song ever recorded?

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Rob She lives on the second floor, Taylor Momson, number ninety,
Where's your Girl?

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Andy Clark? I didn't see her on there, but but again,
I'm kind of zipping down here.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Number one hundred, dead lass on the list, Courtney Love
really but it keeps going.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
I thought this is one hundred.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
It keeps going like if you get to one hundred,
you know, one thirteen, one fourteen. Anyway, whatever, Pab Benatar,
Sevie Nicks, Ann Wilson.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Nobody's gonna argue with those.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
I don't think. I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
You would haven't done.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Dun dun, damn man.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Now is it one wing dove or white wing dove?
I thought it was one forever, but white is the
correct answer. It is right, white winged wing.

Speaker 7 (44:23):
Wing.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
Now one wing dove makes no sense. It'd be great.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
But that's how I've always listened to it, because I
just imagine, you know, Seevie Nixon, her solo career, even
with Fleet with Mac, kind of very fluid and witchy,
and all of her movements, and I would think, what
would go better with that than a bird that can't
take to the air.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Right, it's just flopping around.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
It's got one wing, just like a one wing spins
around in searches.

Speaker 5 (44:48):
Right.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
I thought that she was trying to paint a picture
of an animal that was, you know, very poetic. It
was having a hard time flying, right, It couldn't take
to the air. It couldn't because all that it wanted
to become rop all that crap.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
But then that one wing dove is just singing a song.
Sounds like it's singing.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
I know, I don't know, I don't know. I'm not
Stevie Nicks.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
I'm singing. And you know that you love BoNT of me.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
Your hot rega dream mega love, take a.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Wow. How about that?

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Man? Well that's your top three. I remember we had
a was it a priest that was selling meth that
was out there doing Pat benattar covers.

Speaker 5 (45:44):
Cross he follow.

Speaker 11 (45:50):
Cross drever.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
All right, Yeah, it was a cross dressing priest that
was out there, as one might expect. You know, you
got to check all three boxes and sellen meth on
the side. Why is it always gonna be on the side.
It feels rude. Do it from the front.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Alan, I always thought it was wide wing dove.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
It's got an oversized wing and that makes it as
difficult to take flight as it would if it only
had one, right.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Alan.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
All of Pab Bennettar's albums back then were just her name.
At what point did he become coattail boy. I think
it's when she decided that it needed to be less
about her and more about them. But also I thought,
like Jon Jet had the Black Hearts right, tell you
a lot, Tom Petty had the Heartbreakers right, Pat Benattar,

(46:49):
I thought Neil Giraldo, her husband, was like the one
constant guy in the band. I thought the rest of
that band was like a revolving door, that it was
her and him the whole way through. And then maybe
at some point she was one of them. Was like, hey,
I'd kind of like to be up there in the Marquis.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Well.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
We saw Pat Benatar two years ago, and Neil Giraldo
was changing guitars for every song, which was really annoying.
It seemed more like he was showing off all of
his guitars. Maybe Linda Ronstt is on this list, Yeah,
she's like five or six. Well, listen, you know. The

(47:30):
one time that I saw Pat benattar was probably twenty
five years ago when I was on the air in
Pittsburgh and I.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Didn't know who her husband was. I he didn't.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Again, I don't know where he falls in the litany
of guitar players.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
He's serviceable, clearly, but I don't you know, I've never
heard anybody go, oh my god, I was mostly influenced
by Neil Giraldo, you know, but I don't know. That
don't mean anything. It's just anecdotal. You pick up a
guitar and you go, you know, oh who did you
listen to? A lot?

Speaker 3 (48:07):
Pep Penatar?

Speaker 2 (48:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
A huge Neil geraldo, guy Rob.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
You know, it's been a long time since we've done
any eurethra news on the show.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Do you want some? Absolutely? Would you like to keep
people abreast?

Speaker 2 (48:26):
You know, and they talk about the advancements in technology
and aviation and all of those things together. Uh, there
is a new food that is going to be fed
to astronauts made from their urine. You know, there are
always waste, not want, not literally and figuratively. They're gonna
debut it on the space station A who even knew

(48:48):
the space station was still a thing. It's going to
be basically they they distill down the uric acid or
something and it's going to be a urine based protein powder.
Cay you even lift, bro, rob, I started doing the
urine based protein powder. I gotta tell you my gains

(49:08):
with a capital Z, bro, capital z, you look pretty swool,
thank you, sir. Of course that could be the extra sodium.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Yeah, that too.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
I do eat a lot of nuts. The European Space Agency,
get it? Oh, I got what they did there, the
European Space Agency.

Speaker 11 (49:31):
Rob.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Ah Uh, they've announced a protein powder. What the hell
is that?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
The protein powder, known as Solean was started by a
finish startup company and it won't take much to make,
but the urine will be the source of nitrogen for
protein synthesis. So you really got to know how this
stuff works in concert with every other element here. And

(50:00):
this is all in the service of this pipe dream
of people going to Mars. You know, we've wrecked everything
down here. Let's figure out what we've got to figure
out to get to Mars in four hundred years. And
so they're going to be trialing this urine based protein
powder on board the International Space Station, and they say

(50:22):
that in a few years, perhaps a decade, it will
be standard issue astronaut food. Sure they're psyched, So let's say, well,
I have to think though, you know, down here we're like, oh,
but astronauts have to do all kinds of wild things.
I can't even imagine this would be on their radars.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Anything weird. They're probably all high five in each other.

Speaker 5 (50:41):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
I don't know, man, they got all those. Finally we
get our pea and powdered form. You know, we've been
drinking it this whole time. I've had astronaut ice cream.
I know that's all good stuff. You want to replace
that with p?

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (50:55):
Peteen?

Speaker 2 (50:56):
You imagine if the Great Lakes Science Center starts selling
freeze dried p.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
You can't even taste. What do your kids want? I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
They just hook this up. You can drink it right
out of the tap. What flavor is it that? It
all looks like lemon? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Is it cotton candy? Chores, cotton candy. It's whatever you
want it to be.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Yeah, that's the beauty of it. Anyway, there's some Eurethra
news for you. It's like preteen gobstoppers. Yeah, the snosberry
tastes like snosberries.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Hey, you want to lick that urine wallpaper with me?

Speaker 4 (51:37):
The Allen Cork Show on one hundred seven.

Speaker 17 (51:57):
WMMS Calves lose last night in overtime.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
That news for them, but a thrilling end of the
game against the Miami Heat.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
Eight.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
They will stick around in Miami, play them again tomorrow
night at seven thirty. So seven o'clock is that pregame coverage,
and then the Calves will come back home.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Get into the crack at the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night.
Hold on, I just stopped drinking that beer, dude.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
I've been double fisting Celsius and bud Light over here,
just in celebration of Rob's one year anniversary. I almost
got the full beer down, and I was like, I
just I'm saving myself for a little more carbonation later.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
I don't want to be all blowdy and not feeling great. Well.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Listen, went in realm uh huh, I don't even know
if that applies. Well, Tomorrow night the Calves in Miami
where they play the American Airlines Arena it used to be,
and then the Raptors will be in town on the thirteenth.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
The iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
I got a lot of new bureau chieves, a lot
of people, a couple of whom have apprised me of
their relocation, which I always appreciate. Don't have to do that,
but people would be like, hey, I used to live here,
I used to listen. I live here now, please update
me on the map, and I'm happy to do it.
I sent out another I'm to the point now where
I'm sending out like a dozen envelopes every day now

(53:38):
for people who are requesting stickers from me. I'm posting
the photos at the Alan Cock Show Facebook page of
people who are traveling and tagging the show.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Rachel was in Memphis.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Our friend Jeff from Hudson has been going throughout Australia,
and so I'm posting those photos.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
They're just kind of cool to look at.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
These aren't These aren't places that I've been because when
I travel I forget. But they have picked up that mantle,
So I post those photos when they send them to me.
If you need Alan cockshow stickers, you can always email me.
That's just alanatlancoxshow dot com. Carrie is a new bureau
chief in Clayton, North Carolina. Bill speaking of Australia, listens

(54:18):
in Rockville, Queensland, Australia. Which was part of the final
Jeopardy question last night.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
I didn't get it.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
It was way too.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
It was geographical in nature. Have they all missed it?

Speaker 2 (54:32):
And I'm terrible with geography? Yeah, they sure did. That
was a tough one, real tough because it had layers.
It's one of those questions. I was like, okay, what answer?
You know, I'm like, what are they trying to get
to here?

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Anyway?

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Wild Willie is a new listener. He's on in Windsor, Colorado.
Jackie listens in Salt Lake City, Matt is in Raleigh,
North Carolina. And Todd listens to the show in Saltillo, Mississippi.
You always leave messages there as well.

Speaker 18 (55:01):
Hey you and happy three year anniversary of having your
bean baggles it. Rob, congrats on a full year on
the air.

Speaker 11 (55:07):
Bud.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
You really added to the show. Alan your word nerd.

Speaker 18 (55:10):
Today I was thinking about semantic satiation, the phenomena where
you use a word so often that it starts to
lose this meeting and even feels wrong. You guys have
done this to me because now Monroe is a general greeting.
I'm not secuitor a verbal tick. Thanks a lot, guys,
you really added to my life.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Cotton Balls was park at the show cotton Balls Monroe.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
I can't not do it.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
No, somebody emailed me in there, one of those people
that was relocating themselves. Hey, I was living here now
I'm living in Monroe, Louisiana. Thank you, cotton Balls. I
know semantic satiation. It's a weird thing, and we've all
done it right, even if you didn't know what it
was called. And I'll be honest, I didn't know what
it was called. But yeah, you just say something so frequently,

(56:03):
whether it's a word or phrase.

Speaker 7 (56:04):
You know.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
I had a girlfriend that did that back in the day.
She used to one or two phrases so much they
lost all meanings. She was like, I'm sorry, I tried
to sab you. I'm sorry I tried to sab you.
I'm sorry I tried to stab you. I'm like, maybe
it didn't mean anything anymore. I'm sleeping with one eye open,
like Hatfield told me to do. But uh yeah, Monroe, Monroe, Monroe,

(56:28):
speaking of Witch. Jeremiah, who sends us some of the
AI songs, he goes, I think he did, Rob hates
cats or I sorry ducks. I don't know why I
always want to say cats. Rob hates ducks like dogs.
I don't like cats either, So I'm still sending those
songs to people. By the way, too, people are asking
for uh for festive glory Hole, which somebody I think

(56:51):
Eric might have told me. He's like, yeah, they wouldn't
let me post it on Reddit. I'm like, why there's
ghastly stuff on Reddit? Where are they clutching their pearls
over there all of a sudden? Anyway, maybe it was
just a semantic thing. But Jeremiah, who I think did
Rob hat Stocks, He's like, I've been trying to do
a good monro bit for a while with the AI song,

(57:12):
MO and I finally put something together so weird I
had to send it, and weird doesn't even begin to
describe it. It's positively demented in like in a good
way right. It's called the Enigma of Monroe Ficus. Is
the song that he put together, and it's part spoken
word and it has like an ambient vibe to it. Now,

(57:32):
the AI does pronounce the guy's name on the show
Too Close for Comfort. The namesake of Monroe, they called
the Monroe Ficus. That was the character's name.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Like the tree.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Well, the AI pronounces it fecus. So you just got
to know that going in the Enigma of Monroe Ficus,
and the graphic that the AI created for this is
one of a tree.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
So how did it not know?

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Of times when you're writing, if you dabble in these
AI songs at all, either for fun or profit or whatever,
you really do have to spell a lot of things
out phonetically so that it knows. That's how a lot
of people are able to slip in otherwise flagged words, right,
might not take penis. You've got to spell it like
drawn out and hyphenated, and that's how a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
That's kind of a loophole. They'll probably close it at
some point, but anyway.

Speaker 19 (58:30):
One Roe Ficus, Monroe Ficus, You're a peculiar one, aren't you.

Speaker 11 (58:40):
Monroe Alan, You're.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Gonna get used to me eventually, Alan, You're not getting
rid of me, Alan, It's not going to happen.

Speaker 11 (58:53):
No, the persistence of Monroe Ficus.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Is this weird.

Speaker 5 (59:04):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
It's gonna be a real Twin Peaks vibe to it
because it's completely different than anything we played on here before.
You never, I know, freaking you out. My name's all
over it. This guy and this girl. This girl's moaning.
The guy is telling me that I'm not going to
get rid of him.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
I don't know who he is. He's in He's a
ghost in the machine.

Speaker 11 (59:29):
O Fikus, an enigma of a man.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
To this day, nobody knows what exactly.

Speaker 16 (59:37):
It is that you do.

Speaker 11 (59:39):
Some say you might be a savant of some sort,
maybe a miscreant. We don't know. Oh, but you're one
of them kind. And if you ask him, you might
not be able to stand him.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
But if you ask me, deep down, there's.

Speaker 11 (59:58):
A bond between the there has to be.

Speaker 20 (01:00:03):
It's been too long, Allen has said his name too
many times for that connection not to be real.

Speaker 11 (01:00:13):
I don't believe it. The enigma of Monroe.

Speaker 20 (01:00:20):
Ficus and the deep seated bond between him and Alan
the world may never know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
You know. The most annoying thing to me is if
the goddamn computer has got a better voice than I do.

Speaker 10 (01:00:36):
Rob the AI right, it's good, but I couldn't get
past the fact they were pronouncing his name wrong. I know,
I can't get past. I know it would be good otherwise.
Weird still, but.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
The girl coming in?

Speaker 7 (01:00:48):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
Oh about that?

Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
The enigma of Monroe Ficus? Anyway, thank you, Jeremiah. That
is really off the reservation there, But I love it,
aren't you?

Speaker 11 (01:01:17):
Monroe?

Speaker 9 (01:01:20):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
Yes, I'm sorry. You're gonna get used to me eventually.
Bring that girl back. Oh yes, hi, you're not getting
rid of me? Oh come on, yes, what can happen?

Speaker 12 (01:01:29):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
No, I'm right here, Why now, I'm right here? Thet Monroe?
Al right, he just dropped that in.

Speaker 15 (01:01:42):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
It is silly, it's stupid. It will burn itself out.
And I think that I usually have a pretty good
barometer of those things, you know, I always think that
one and some people might disagree, but I think behind
the scenes, I've always had a real good idea of
when something is just burned the f out. So I'm

(01:02:06):
more prone to get rid of these things a lot sooner.
Except all I hear from people NonStop is don't get
rid of David Lee Roth, don't get it rid of Monroe.
And you can't, obviously, let the audience tell you what
your show should be. What it's not nothing. I was
talking to somebody in my cocks out on Sunday and
they were like, our daughter doesn't say a lot. He's

(01:02:28):
little virus six. Maybe our daughter doesn't say a lot,
but she's yelling out davidly Roth lines and she's yelling
out Monroe. And I'm like, yeah, that's kind that's kind
of the intellectual level of this program six right, six
to thirteen. That's why dogs and babies love me because
they sense an intellectual equal. Anytime somebody brings a kid

(01:02:52):
up to me, they're enraptured with me because they look
in my eyes and they go, those are dead. I
I can see into your brain. I heard from one
of our bureau chiefs in Albuquerque, by the way, New Mexico,
by the way. A quick aside, there's a great new
show that dropped. If you have Apple Plus, it's called Pluribus.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
I just saw the preview for that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Yeah, it's ray A Seahorn, who was Kim, the female
lead on Better Call Saul, with Bob Odenkirk and Vince Gilligan.
This is his first big show since Better Call Saul,
and it's very X filesy. You know, he got started
writing for the X Files back in the day. Very
first time I ever saw the name Vince Gilligan was
because I was a huge X Files nerd. So when
Breaking Bad started, I was like, I know who exactly

(01:03:35):
who this guy is. But it's called Pluribus on Apple
and it just dropped and it's freaky. It's very kind
of X Files. So far, they've only dropped an episode,
but very but again set in Albuquerque. So one of
our bureau chiefs in Albuquerque sent me the story about
a guy who's charged in a double homicide there and

(01:03:57):
he told the cops that a cockroach told him to
kill people. Okay, I think we call that the Joe's
Apartment defense. Don't we remember Joe's Apartment in the mid
nineties when MTV was trying to get a movie studio
up and run in and they put Jerry Oh what
the hell's his name is? The fact can stand by
me O'Connell, Jerry O'Connell. I was thinking Conrad them, I

(01:04:20):
guess not right. It's married to Rebecca Romain Jerry O'Connell.
It was a short film that they turned into a
big film and he had roaches talking to him. That's
what this guy said. He said that cocka roaches had
told him to kill cockar roach. Alexis Hernandez is twenty
five years old and is facing two counts of murder

(01:04:43):
there in Albuquerque, fatally shot two people inside the home
after saying that he got ENCRYPTID messages in a cockroach
that he needed to kill. Why would you live, by
the way mental illness, boy, to say it's a bitch
is the understatement of the century. But you don't argue.

(01:05:08):
You don't argue, You just go. People hear this all
the time. Voice that told me to kill you don't
push back a little. That's always been the weird thing
with me when you hear those kinds of stories, says.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
You don't push back a little.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Alright, I got to because the cockroach told me or
I was at the deli and uh, there was a
voice in the egg salad told me I had to kill.
It'll push back a little at least send me an
eagle something of some gravitas.

Speaker 10 (01:05:34):
You don't know what message it was though at that
point they could have been the fifth message that day.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Oh I see, you know what I mean? Like that
may not have been the first one. It's like, all right, fine,
I get it. Cockroach, Yeah, you've told me twelve times,
I'll kill them. They found two grown men killed in
the house and two young kids who I guess were fine,
treated for injuries but otherwise okay. About ten thirty at night,
the cops show up the neighbors that reported gunfire, and

(01:06:02):
the guy had a firearm in his waistband and a
Marine Corps saber on his hip. Maybe that was a
weird way of acknowledging Veterans Day rope hashtag never forget,
just in advance doing it earlier. Said he was in
the Marines and had to do what he had to do.
He then told the cops there were two dead bodies inside.

(01:06:23):
One of the guys was shot, the other one was
shot and stabbed, and said that a cockroach told him
to do it. He had been hearing creepy voices from
the vents and had been getting signs from cockroaches.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
See when I hear things like that, I I.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
Instantly start to critique the way it's written versus what
I'm actually hearing, because I want to say, both men
were shot, but only one was stabbed, or however only
one was stabbed. The first man was shot, the second
man was shot and stabbed. Well that was me. I
was a wrong No, no, that was That was a
sloppy paraphrase on my part. Okay, all right, well they

(01:07:04):
were both shot, one was stabbed. Okay, well never mind.
Then he had gone to his Honda Pilot. Hey, that's
what Gene Simmons drives. Yeah, suspect he's got an iPhone four.
You know, when Gene Simmons calls us, he plugs in
his iPhone four into the aux jack in his Honda Pilot.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
Guy knows his way around saving a buck. I'm doing
voice to text in my twenty eleven Honda Pilot.

Speaker 11 (01:07:31):
This is Simmons of kiss and of myself.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
That's how he always greets us.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
It's always my favorite. Yeah, it doesn't have to be
so formal, but he is. This guy had gone back
to his Honda Pilot to reload his gun. Before going
back and shooting each one of them again, geez, how
many shots did he have the first time? Is too
I don't know the other guy, I guess. So this
guy went back, yeah, like the Jim Carrey line, don't

(01:07:59):
you go dying.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
On me now, said he knew there were kids in
the house, but he wasn't gonna do anything to them.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
So fortunately for this guy, the cockroaches didn't tell him
to kill the kids too. They just told him to
kill the two dudes. But boy, that sounded like the
Joe's Apartment defense to me. This guy's not even old
enough to remember that movie. That was mid nineties. This
guy's twenty five or something. But you know, listen, I've

(01:08:26):
read enough Edgar Allan Poe. If a raven tells me
to do something, I'm gonna give it a second thought.
A cockroach they got a lot of time to kill.
So I guess it comes down to from what life
form will you take? And obviously this is all in
the context of mental illness, but from what life form

(01:08:50):
will you take directions to kill another person? There's got
to be a hierarchy where most people would go, like
if a bird tells me, you know, there's some there's
some literary context of that a cockroach, I don't think,
So what do you take me for?

Speaker 11 (01:09:09):
Hi Ellen?

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Hi Rob Meghan from Grafton here. So I've come to
the conclusion Allan doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Care about all his celsius being stolen because he's a millionaire.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
He can afford to just keep buying him and replacing
him for whoever keeps taking him home, of which is
probably doing it on person.

Speaker 16 (01:09:28):
Talking about it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
But anyways, it must be nice to be a millionaire
and to buy all those celsiuses.

Speaker 11 (01:09:33):
Have a great day.

Speaker 14 (01:09:33):
I love you guys.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
Bye Megan, you son of a bitch? How dare you ked?
How dare you?

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
I also feel like the plural of celsius celsius celsia,
I rob celsius is just doesn't And I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
I bought them, the whole bunch of celsius.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
People think that because I'm not freaking out that I
don't care. Obviously, I don't want people taking my things,
But what am I gonna do? Like that ship is
saled man. Initially, it's quite upset by the way. If
I were a millionaire, I would be the chillest millionaire.
We're talking about the guy who got a million on
the Scratcher. In fact, Rob I would coin the term chillionaire.

Speaker 11 (01:10:14):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
Then I would be the chillest and douchiest millionaire. Yeah,
but now you're sort of adding to the speculation that
you may be.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
But I'm not. Well, how do we know? Because I
told people, I've always been candid with this audience. I
think that's what a millionaire would say.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
If I were a millionaire, I would say, yes, I
have a net worth of a million dollars. Now have
I made that much money over the course of my career, Yes,
a couple times over, of course. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Yeah, But I am not a millionaire.

Speaker 7 (01:10:43):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Listen, we are in an era where you've read the headlines.
Elon Musk is on the cusp of becoming the first
trillionaire on paper anyway, a real life boy cavalier. You know,
let's hope it ends the same. But being a millionaire
isn't even what it used to be. I mean, nobody
at our level would thumb their noses at it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:04):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
But back in the day, remember the movie Wall Street
in the late eighties, Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Gordon Gecko.
You know, he's in the movie because it was the
eighties boys all about excess and making money and what
you know whatever, and he's talking about like I'm talking
real wealth one hundred million dollars in the movie. There
you go, oh my god, I can't even fathom nine figures.

(01:11:27):
Now if you had one hundred million dollars, there's like
four hundred billionaires around the world, eight hundred billionaire or
something like that, ay, what he used to be. So
you got a guy walking into a bank with a
million dollar scratcher and he goes, hey, can I use
this as collateral or your Christmas friends?

Speaker 10 (01:11:45):
So if that's a local bank and you and you
can prove that that's really, of course you do, right, Yeah,
you take that as collateral.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
There's probably some legality where they don't want to mess
with it. They're like, what the hell am I gonna
do with this?

Speaker 12 (01:11:57):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
I mean, I guess you could, but you're not.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Asking for a million, right if you just say, hey, man,
I need a thousand bucks to get me through Christmas.

be played in Cleveland, Ohio the Rocket Arena, and of
course you'll hear all of it, every swish, every brick,

Oh good, whatever it takes whatever it takes.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
Calves are going to do as Cleveland's going.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
I say, we all got to do us say whatever
it takes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Mmmmm, Alan, you talked about that six year old who's
only walking around mentioning David Lee, Rothlines and Monroe. You
should ask David if he's tired of Monroe hitting them
against one another. Yeah, it doesn't count, Yeah, Alan, Kids

(01:14:22):
and dogs love old ladies. That's why they love you.

Speaker 11 (01:14:24):
You see.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
You see what they're doing right, making fun of me
because I have gray hair on today of all days,
and well, today's your days because you let it grow long.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
Yes, no, it's it's our day. You know what it
means though, you know what I was reading.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
That means, sir or madam, you son of a motherless
whore or daughter.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
It means I'm gonna live forever.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
You know what that means.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
The gray hair. By the way, and I've been gray.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
For a long time. I colored my hair for a
long time and who cares. But like back in the day,
I was always dicking around with it, whether it was
short or long. But it means I'm gonna live forever.
Because somebody sent me a story about how The gray
hair means that your body is correcting things in that

(01:15:14):
gone uncorrected. Where is that?

Speaker 11 (01:15:18):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
There it is?

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
Gray hair might protect you from cancer? Rob Well, good
the big CEA. You've got gray hair?

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
I'm not fully gray, but I surely have to point
it in and a white face. What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
Gray hair in mice signals successful cancer defense.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
So follow me here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
When stem cells that produce hair pigment get DNA damage,
the body forces them to mature and exit, leaving gray
hair behind as evidence the potentially dangerous cells were eliminated.

Speaker 6 (01:15:58):
How do you like that?

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
I'm gonnautlive ah, you suckers.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Now, my mom started going gray when she was like
in high school, So my mom has been gray the
entire time I've known my mom, and I've known my
mom for fifty four years. Your hair follicle makes life
or death decisions, is what this is saying?

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
Does there are plenty of people with gray hair who
have cancer? Obviously I'm hanging onto this story by my fingernails.
I won't lie to you. And my hair is still
kind of like dirty gray, you know what I mean,
Like there's still enough of my natural color in it.
I was like, I wish I'd either go white like
Steve Martin or something else. But the gray hair might

(01:16:45):
signal that your body is taking care of business in
a way that is beneficial to you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
So who knows that they listen? You know, is there
a one to one with mice?

Speaker 7 (01:17:01):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
But what are you gonna do?

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
What did you bring? Rob Oh? For the for the day?

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
Yes, for the day? I figured we'd have a little, uh,
little champagne. You was champagne. I love champagne. I mean
there's what what kind did you like? Because there's only
one kind of like, Oh, I figure this would be
the way to go. A little voolf little voof clicko,
that's I mean, if.

Speaker 10 (01:17:26):
You're gonna go right, if you're gonna if you're gonna
have some champagna.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
I always have a bottle in my refrigerator. It's it's
my favorite, and you know I do enjoy the finer things.

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
Is on record here on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
As I wouldn't say live in large because that sounds ostentatious.
But he knows what he likes. He has very refined tastes. Yes,
I don't have those refined tastes. You know, you just said,
you always have a bottle of voove handy, so well
not there's one in the in the box in the fridge. Yeah,
but I don't often have occasion to crack it open.

(01:18:01):
I mean I think it's been in there for a year.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
It's okay, you still have it, which means you enjoy
the finer things. Well, I enjoy that. I do like that. Yeah,
so I figured, you know what it's Uh, it's a
momentous occasion.

Speaker 4 (01:18:17):
We made it.

Speaker 10 (01:18:18):
We made it through the first year, which I think
is probably the hardest. I'll let you you never know.
It's his iHeart, so we will wait and see.

Speaker 7 (01:18:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
So, I mean the hardest is the last week before
they fire your ass and you don't know it because
they come to you and they go, hey, f yi,
And I was done.

Speaker 10 (01:18:35):
I was thinking we would just you're sticking with that
paper theme, you know, paper cups, because that's all we
have around here.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
I looked for anything glass. Well, we are classy bitches.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
The one year anniversary gift is paper. Yeah, you know,
for people who are married like fifty years, it's diamond
and it's but one year is paper. Can't drink this
stuff out of paper cups, though, I mean, it's nice
enough that you shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Do we have glasses. I mean went and got some.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
Oh good, I went and grabbed a couple, a couple
of little I mean they're they're they're I'm not going
to say their glass. They're hard plastic. Okay, close close enough.
But people can still hear us cheers with this. They
can still hear us. You want you want the ownership
pop this thing?

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
No, no, you do it for me to do it?
Should I just like, really just let it rock it
and be like oops into one of the monitors. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, here we go. Ready, Hey, all right, and
no spill. That's good. Yep, we go.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
What are you guys doing in here? Oh we're shooting
off corks. Yeah, it's a celebration day, so we're doing
fireworks and shut.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
You all right?

Speaker 10 (01:19:49):
Yeah, porta too fast and I had to make sure
it didn't spill on the four.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Hang on. Yeah, he's a almost glass. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Is there a Zeppelin song called Celebration Day? Oh, thank
you sir, Yeah there is. It's also there's also a
fantastic reunion show of sorts called Celebration. You're thinking of
the cool in the gang.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
No, I'm thinking that's all no.

Speaker 12 (01:20:25):
Fday?

Speaker 3 (01:20:30):
Is this celebration Day?

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
This is?

Speaker 4 (01:20:32):
Oh okay?

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Is this a stripped down version or is this off
of the original version?

Speaker 15 (01:20:41):
I think this is it?

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
Thought, oh okay, I thought it was more of a
jam or wait a minute, this isn't ye.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
This as friends slash celebration. Yeah, so it started, so yeah,
celebration Day will come in. It's all.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
What you do?

Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
You broke it? No, I mean I don't want that's
a good time good? I want there though? Which one
is this on two? It's not on two?

Speaker 6 (01:21:23):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
Face is from smart of OTAs she's on three? Is
it on three? Quinn Immigrant song? And st Gallas Paul
Once you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Just said too I started second Guest is my favorite
of their record?

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
Wow, one massive reason. That's a wild pitch.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
It's because of my favorite hats off Tory Harper No Mo,
which is great.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
I do love it. But my favorite led Zeppelin song
is Tangerine. Okay, and it is on led Zeppelin three. Right,
your very favorite Zeppelin song is Tangerine. It is all right?
I know it's odd, right, No, it's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
I mean, you know, I don't know that I don't
know that I've ever met anyone for whom three is
their favorite Zeppelin.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
Album, and by a lot actually wow yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
I mean everybody's gonna say four because the hits right,
but but for me, it's three physical graffiti. Mine was
the one that didn't get a lot of airplay. It
was called led Zeppelin five. Put that in your pipe
and smoke it. Yes, it only had three songs on them.
Each of those songs it was twenty seven minutes long.

Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
So yeah, I love this, love this song, so wow. Yeah.
And I'm also I'm a sucker for the led Zeppelin
acoustic song.

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
See.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
I like them when they rock. I do too, I
like them when they jam.

Speaker 15 (01:22:44):
But yeah, this is it for me, man, all right,
come on, and yes, before you say it, I am
aware it has a country vibe to itself.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
Myfe a lot of their songs too, though the hate country,
yus it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
But you loved these stupid Maybe Rob just likes their
catalog with references to fruit, the lemon song, tangerine, Uh,
what's that other one? Apple Day?

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
And then this one you don't Squeeze Till it runs
down your life? This one just let's speak for your
stands on its own.

Speaker 8 (01:23:18):
All right, well, here you go. Yeah, cheers, cheers, launch them.
Oh boy, oh yeah, that is nice.

Speaker 3 (01:23:31):
That will work.

Speaker 10 (01:23:33):
So now all we have to do is get a
bottle down before the end of the show, and we're
in good shape.

Speaker 2 (01:23:36):
Oh wow, Okay, your mission, should you choose to accept it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
You know, I see a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
I've seen these articles over the past week or so,
people dunking on Kim Kardashian because she wants to be
an attorney. And you know, we we have a weird
relationship with celebrity in that you give them a hard
time if they're only one thing, and then you give
them a hard time if they're trying to be something else.
For all the people who've complained about why she's famous,

(01:24:06):
or we've talked about it here right, well, when they
try to do something different, though, there's just as many
people will give them a hard time.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
And so people like to dunk on Kim Kardashian in general.
I'm biased. I think she's a lovely, big big fan.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
Now again, I really go back and forth trying to
determine if she's a bright woman.

Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
I cannot tell.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Nobody in reality television is as stupid as you think
they are.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
But I don't know. I just don't know. What I
do know is.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
She keeps flunking the bar exam and so people have
given her hard time. Her father was famously Robert Kardashian.
He was on OJ's Dream Team. David Schwimmer played him
in the Ryan Murphy series, and so she says she
us to follow in her father's footsteps. You know, the
first Trump administration, she was advocating for something along the

(01:25:08):
lines of reduced sentences or people in nonviolent crimes. And
all Trump wants is to be around famous people, so
he never had any He didn't care at all about
people who were incarcerated. He just wanted Kim kardash in
the old office photo wop. But she walked away thinking
that she was really making a difference, and maybe big
picture she is, but she keeps not passing the bar

(01:25:33):
exam and pull the clip here for you. She's really mad.
She was posting a bunch of things from her mom's christianner,
her mom's seventieth birthday party, and.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
She's mad because.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
All the psychics that she consulted told her she'd pass
the bar exam. Now, I would think you'd figure you'd
pass a bar exam because you really really studied and
you really did your homework. She has already flunked the
bar exam there in California a couple of times, didn't
get it on her first at Now, in fairness, there

(01:26:14):
are all kinds of people who are attorneys and it
took them a few times to pass the bar exam.
She wants to be an attorney, and I say why not.
Maybe she's looked back on her life and been like,
I've done all I can do with this right I'm
not twenty five anymore, and so I want to do
something that is a more of a concrete contribution to society.

(01:26:37):
People could make the argument that the last thing we
need is more lawyers. Nevertheless, what I'm saying is, even
if she flunks the bar exam, she knows more about
the law right now than you and I do. But
she's mad because the psychics who told her she was
gonna be a lawyer.

Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
And again this is where I go back and forth.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
She's no dummy because she's trying to be an attorney,
but she's mad because psychic's told her.

Speaker 3 (01:27:06):
So I hate to tell you that, yes, she's a dummy.
But is she?

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
Yeah, all right, maybe she's put her faith in the
wrong people. Maybe she's forty five.

Speaker 11 (01:27:20):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Is she really? I knew she was at least forty
forty five? Yeah, but her boobs are only ten so
she're fine.

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
Dah No.

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
But like.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
You know, Kim Kardashian is hurtling toward fifty.

Speaker 11 (01:27:36):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (01:27:39):
I'm just letting you guys know that all of the
psychics that we have met with and that we're obsessed
with are all full of sh They all, collectively, maybe
four of them, have told me I was going to
pass the bar.

Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
So they're all full pathological liars. Don't believe anything they say.

Speaker 2 (01:27:56):
Oh my god, I think we all could have told
you that. Don't believe anything the psychics say they're liars.
They're not liars.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
They see a.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Sucker coming, correct. I don't know how psychics stay in business.
There's one in downtown Cleveland right next to the subway there,
right at Subway Sandwich shop.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
It's like West sixth and.

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
I don't know what it is, Lakeside not Lakeside, but
whatever intersection is down there. If you walk by, you
note by XO and that there's like a garden apartment
store front. So a psychic and everybody can make their jokes,
you know, and see that one coming or whatever. But
I am still very curious how those people are still

(01:28:41):
able to make a living or if it's like a
side hustle or I don't know, but to have a
brick and mortar psychic place the neon in the window
and the palm. So Kim Kardashian apparently was over confident
based on her consultation with psychics.

Speaker 3 (01:28:59):
Yeah, sucker born every minute. She said.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
The failing doesn't come from lack of knowledge, it comes
from terrible test taking skills. And I'll take her at
her work. You know, there's a I kind of roll
my eyes at that. You know, there's a lot of
people who are like, I'm just a terrible test taker.
Well okay, but you know, my daughter Caitlin is a
terrible test taker.

Speaker 4 (01:29:20):
Now what does that mean?

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
But she's also, what is a terrible studier?

Speaker 15 (01:29:23):
But what is that?

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
Okay, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It's
very easy to say, oh, she's a great she's a
great test taker, she's a terrible studier. Correct, right, there's
no better feeling than walking in going It doesn't even
matter if I'm a terrible test taker. I know this
material front and back. You could slap me and I wouldn't.
I would know all of the information. That has been

(01:29:44):
a conversation I've had with her since she was five
years old, because it's always, oh, you know, I get
so nervous in the room and I screw up, And
I said, but you probably didn't walk in as prepared
as you should have been. It's to me, it's like,
there's the old showbiz thing about security is knowing your
lines right and going in. And I'm trying to impress
this upon my nine year old. She's in the fourth grade.

(01:30:07):
She's very, very smart, but she's kind of in this
thing where like, and I know exactly where she's coming
from because I was the exact same way. When things
in school come relatively easy for you, you don't have
good habits, and so you end up kind of doing
like the bare minimum, yeah, and killing it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
And I'm trying to impress upon her.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
I'm like, look, this is as easy as school is
ever going to be, and so developing good habits is
really important. Like by the time I got to college,
I didn't know how to study for things. I had
no study habits. So college when I first got there
just logistically kicked my ass. Right, it wasn't that I

(01:30:52):
was swapp It's just I had no study skills because
things had come relatively easy to me. And that's not
a flax. I'm just saying it screwed me up. And
I'm like trying to get to her and go same
thing I told my older kids when they were younger.
I'm like, study habits are invaluable because if you know
the stuff really well, the studying won't be that hard.

(01:31:13):
But you gotta know. You know, there's a muscle. Your
brain is a muscle figuratively speaking, and you go. You've
got to know how to work it. So Kim Kardashian says, well,
she keeps flunking the bar exam because she's a bad
test taker. But the thing is in a lot listen.

(01:31:33):
Part of taking testa's time management too. But if they're
asking you specific questions like I never I took all
the There's a period in my life before I got
into this nonsense where I figured I'd go to law
school early nineties, and so I took the alsats and all.
I didn't take the bar exam. I took the alsats
and all that pre law, and I came to the

(01:31:54):
conclusion that I really wanted nothing to do with that ultimately.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
But they ask you very specific questions. You either know it,
it don't.

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
And so but Kim Kardashian, the clip that I pulled
was her saying, well, f those psychics because they told
me I was going to pass the bar exam.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
Yeah, not on a psychic because she's not on a psychicuse.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
She's worked really, really hard. And again I'm sure she
has and I hope it works out for her. She
wants to be a trial lawyer like her dad was
on She did an apprenticeship. Yeah, but what I'm saying
is a proof is in the pudding. If you pass
the bar exam, you are a lawyer. You are a

(01:32:41):
lot of people with law degrees that don't practice, you
know what I mean? And she and that would be
her case. Yeah, you cannot how she wants to litigate,
That's and that's what I'm saying. How can you sit
across like in a courtroom, how can you honestly go
against her? Or take that seriously? If you're anybody in
that room. But if she knows the law, I understand

(01:33:01):
the initial blush of like, oh my god, that's Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 7 (01:33:04):
Ha ha ha.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
You know I saw her get railed on video fifteen
years ago and fifteen seasons of stupid television with your family.
I just don't know how you take that serious. Ever,
I think you start taking it seriously when she proves
to you she's got the goods that remains to be seen.

Speaker 10 (01:33:22):
Sure, but again it's it's you know, what do you
call the person that graduates last at Harvard Law School
a lawyer?

Speaker 20 (01:33:28):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
So yeah, doc, doctor, it doesn't matter. We should put
her in. She apprenticed with some firm in San Francisco.
She should come to Cleveland, Ohio, where her sister had
a place. Right when she was with Tristan Thompson. People
would see Chloe Kardashian walking around northeast Ohio. She should
make a triumphant return and apprentice with one Timothy Misney Esquire.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Not a terrible idea.

Speaker 2 (01:33:53):
If there's a place to lock in from a celebrity standpoint,
that's the place to do.

Speaker 6 (01:33:56):
Yea.

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
She should come to Cleveland or any major city and
be a public defender if she wants to, if she
wants to be uh uh a lawyer, you pass and
then go do it for like no money, own your own.

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
Hone, your craft, and she doesn't need the money, easily
do that. And there's a lot of public to defend
in Cleveland, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
It's a lot of public to defend everything.

Speaker 4 (01:34:25):
The car show one.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
It seems a little unfair that you can watch our
live screen but we can't see you.

Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
But we'll fix that tonight outside your window.

Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
ONMMS three.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
I want to send me a text Alancoxshow dot com
all the other stuff email me there if you need
Alan Coxshow stickers. Just send another bunch of those this morning.
Happy to get those out. If you listen on the
iHeartRadio app, tell me where you do it. Got a
handful of brand new bureau cheese people who are like, hey,

(01:35:28):
stumbled onto the show, big fan. You know, today is
the one year anniversary of Rob joining the show, and
we're excited to introduce you to a new person on
the program very soon, right, I think we could say that, yeah,
of course. And Alan, I just realized there's a suburb

(01:35:49):
of Akron called Monroe falls Monroe.

Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
Don't they pronounce it differently?

Speaker 7 (01:35:53):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Isn't it Monroe falls down there? That's somebody told me
it was Monroe falls. I've done, We've done appearance as
an acronym over the years. I could be wrong on that,
but I thought it was Monroe false. Now is that
going to deter me?

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:36:08):
Of course, not Bau Monroe.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
It's so stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:36:14):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:36:15):
Boy.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
People really have some thoughts on Kim Kardashian becoming a lawyer,
and again people are putting themselves in a box with her.

Speaker 5 (01:36:23):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:36:24):
It is how she has presented herself to.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
Us over twenty years. But you gotta let people become
something different if they want to be. It's true for
any of us, and it's no less true for celebrities.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
But if you want to be something different and you
want to aim to be a lawyer, that's going to
be taken seriously. You might want to steer away from
selling bush underwear.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
Well yeah, but what I'm saying is that is a
machine that is moving of its own volicious Sure, right,
Sure she also wants to be a lawyer, But what
did you do in twenty twenty five Kim. Well, I
I filled the bar a few times, and they came
out with a thong that has its own bush. Oh okay,
so what are you looking for in twenty twenty six,

(01:37:09):
I plan on passing the bar.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
People are just mad they didn't think of it first.

Speaker 16 (01:37:13):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:37:14):
I mean usually underwear or bushes go inside the underwear,
don't they.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Alan Kim is not smart enough to be an attorney. Again,
I don't know how smart she is. Kim did not
go to law school, somebody else said, Seanan Bedford points
out it took Joe Peshi six tries to pass the bar.

Speaker 3 (01:37:33):
Nobody said a word.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
Vincent Laguadi Agambi nel, Yeah, okay, Well, I thought Kim
Kardashian was going. I mean, she's doing some law school program, right.
She probably doesn't have time to go to law school.
But that's just a function of twenty twenty five. You know,
back in the day, you had to go to law school.
It's like the people who get they go I went

(01:37:55):
to Harvard, you did well. I did the Harvard Business
Program online. Okay, okay, yes, but you get to tell
people what toe. It's a little different than little well, yes,
I have a degree from Harvard. You do, that's amazing.
How did you enjoy life in Cambridge?

Speaker 12 (01:38:16):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
I did their online program. You've actually been there?

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
Okay, I mean, you know, is it that important? Isn't
the end result what's important.

Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
In that case?

Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
Okay, No, I don't think so, right like you, I
don't know. I think, what do?

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
I hate to say it, but I'm gonna instantly take
someone less serious, So we have to And I understand
what you're saying. What I'm saying is so somebody has
to stay in the box that twenty years ago she
put herself in. But she's forty five now and she's like, look,
I'm at the very least smart enough to know I

(01:38:56):
can't be that person pushing fifty. No, but I also
think that that's the consequence of becoming that famous. For
that reason, you have to know what spartistical at that
point when you're when you make that decision to get
famous off of a pork tape, you need to know
that you are going to jeopardize your future decision.

Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
I want to be in the next twenty years, I
think for the rest of your life.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
Yeah, okay, But then we look at somebody like Madonna,
and everybody goes, who's been the same thing, And everybody goes, oh,
she's still trying to be young.

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
It's like you can't win. Well, no, but but that's
not what I'm saying. Madonna's not trying to become a lawyer.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
Madonna want to be a lawyer, you know what I mean.
Like Adnna Chaconi Esquire, she stayed in her lane. She's
she's yes, she's trying to be young.

Speaker 3 (01:39:39):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
That's that's just part of being a celebrity or being
in the public eye forever. You're always going to try
to look younger. But but Kim Kardashian trying to shift
from being Kim Kardashian too. Kim Kardashian Esquire is an
odd punt, and it's it's a hard one to make.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Pardon the punt.

Speaker 10 (01:39:58):
When you've made that decision, and that's how you become famous.
Everybody's gonna look at her and go, you and your
mom said release the sex tape. So everybody knew you
when you got famous.

Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
But that's where I think the juice is you overcome
all that now, I think now again. She's a content creator.
She has a reality show, she's got to keep shoveling
coal into that furnace. That aside. Under normal circumstances, I
would stay dead quiet until I came out publicly. I'm
an attorney, correct, I got a law degree. I failed

(01:40:26):
the bar fourteen times.

Speaker 3 (01:40:27):
Oh Jesus, she.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
Can't do that because she's got it. She's got cameras
following everywhere. I understand, But you know, the best way
to do it is like, what is Harrison Ford's profession?
He's an actor and he also is what a guy
who crashes a lot of planes? John Travolta, what is
his private part? He's an actor who flies planes?

Speaker 3 (01:40:46):
Correct? Yeah, Bruce Dickinson, what does he do? He's a
heavy metal singer who flies planes. Correct. Ye.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
So they dabble in something else, but they are something.
So she can be uh bush creator and wanting to
be attorney. Okay, potential future attorney. Great, do it, like
you said, when you pass. But it's always going to
be a tough put when you try to go from

(01:41:15):
that to now like this professional attorney or professional in
any capacity. Well, not only that, I guess the only
umbrage I'd take is that even if she eventually passes
the bar. It's going to be more of a hobby
than anything else, you know, Like, only in twenty twenty
five could attorney be your side hustle.

Speaker 11 (01:41:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:41:40):
She has been on this show precisely one time. Stephen
Canton goes way back with his show, and he reminds
me because even in talking about her, I forgot she
was on this show. I was brand new to Cleveland.
She was on the show the first month of this
show probably, And she hung up on me because she thought.

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
I was being uh mean, and I didn't intend to be.
I had heard that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
I think she had her guard up. I mean we're
talking two thoy ten, she had her guard up. And
I asked her about her dog. She had a dog,
how's the dog? Right, trying to find some common ground
with her. I didn't realize that the dog had just died.

Speaker 3 (01:42:24):
Didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:25):
So she thought I was coming at her knives out, like, eh,
I'm gonna show Kim Kardashian like I was just being
some radio douche. And I had to tell her that's
not the kind of radio douche that I am. I'm
a different kind. But that makes her a bigger douche. Yeah,
But I chalked it up to, and the audience was like, Jesus,
this hoe or whatever I chalked it up to.

Speaker 3 (01:42:47):
She had no idea that I wasn't doing that. I
just genuinely didn't know that her dog had died.

Speaker 10 (01:42:52):
Yeah, Like, what would what would the benefit be for
you to be like, Hey, how about that dead dog
of yours?

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Huh, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:42:59):
I imagine the last thing she wanted to do was
be doing radio in Cleveland. Well, so it's like you're
really some people, boy, you you can't make any sudden
movements or they'll bail.

Speaker 3 (01:43:11):
You might have some Kim Kardashian experts on line one
and two.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
Oh, Hello, who's this?

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
This is Evince from my Vince.

Speaker 16 (01:43:26):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (01:43:26):
What can I do for you?

Speaker 2 (01:43:28):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (01:43:29):
I wanted to let you know man in.

Speaker 5 (01:43:30):
Your email today.

Speaker 2 (01:43:31):
We remember before we were having a problem getting an
actual mixed recording about the music.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
I got the music of Vince. Thank you. That's what
I wanted to know, all right, thank you pal. There's Vince.
He's in a local band called clam Hammer.

Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
Oh and they're nice guys and they show up on
Captain Funds floating Fandango and boy do they really want
their music on my metal show?

Speaker 3 (01:43:53):
Uh huh? Just not scratching me.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Where I itch. And in case you're wondering, average listener,
this is why you have someone that screens phone calls,
which you'll be meeting someone new sooner than later. Alan,
it is not Monroe falls, it's mon Monroe. Okay, good,

(01:44:18):
but I think it's spelled m.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
U n mon Monroe mon Monroe monro. Actually I shouldn't listen.
I've got my own criteria.

Speaker 2 (01:44:34):
Do you want to hear some clamhammer rob Sure? Because
these guys I've met them on a couple of occasions, right,
I've met some nice dudes, nice guys, but they're like, oh,
music guys, and it's just a bunch of dudes that
are like playing in the garage or whatever, right, and
that you know, I mean, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (01:45:03):
Saying it's bad. No, it's just it didn't you know,
blow my skirt up.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
It's it's a it's some guys who have been fans
of Metallica and Motorhead for a very long time putting
some music together. Vince, let me revisit the song. Okay,
I'm not saying no, I'm just I appreciate the submission.
Thank you. Kim Kardashian was making amateur pornos when she
should have had her finance in law school. Well yeah,
but everybody does what they do when they do it, right.

(01:45:28):
Had she been in law school, we wouldn't even know
who she thinks. Had she been in law school, instead
of getting railed by ray J on camera, we wouldn't
know who she was. But in all fairness, all that's
how she built her empire. A lot of sex tapes
are made in college, in law school. Like, that's not
even my point.

Speaker 10 (01:45:45):
I just think that when you dive in on that
being who you are when you start, that's who you are.
That's where you end. Like you could do some amazing
things all the way through, but you're always going to
be that remembered in that way for that. Kanye West,
her own husband, sings about it in the song click.

Speaker 3 (01:46:09):
My Girls fas.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
Yeah, that's you, but I mean it's like you're you're
always going it's always going to be there. Yeah, she
was pissed off. I guess when you put that in
that song, what do you put in there? That ray
J bangor or something.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
He says, My girls, my girl's famous from a tape
from a video.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, But again, listen, you gotta
embrace it. I understand being angry because that's not all
you want to be known for, but that's if you
want your Well, there's a difference between.

Speaker 3 (01:46:37):
What you do and who you are, and.

Speaker 2 (01:46:41):
You don't want Nobody wants to be that one thing forever.
She's the only point I'm trying to make. And I
agree with you if people were like, because she's already
changed her She's already gone from that to building cosmetic
brands and whatever it is, right, Okay, No, listen, she's

(01:47:02):
always gonna be immediately recognized as that's how she started.
And I understand that people who like bust their ass
and go the normal route, you know, might be upset
by that. But there are no rules anymore, and there
haven't been for a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:47:18):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
It's like people in our business, we do it all
the time.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
We're constantly like rolling our eyes and laughing at podcasters
or whatever, because the barriers to entry are nil.

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:47:32):
He gets off a little mixer, you gets off a
dopey microphone, and you put your crap online and now
you got a podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:47:38):
Yeah, and people like us who've been doing this.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
For thirty years, who had to pack their crap and
move to another city. But if we had had that
technology available to us, then we probably would have done
the same thing.

Speaker 3 (01:47:54):
So I don't know Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 2 (01:47:58):
Now. Do I think she's ever going to become a lawyer.
I don't, but she's made it very clear and publicly
known that she wants to be.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
Alan.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
She's also a racist? What she couldn't bang one white
guy for all of us to enjoy Jesus Chris Humphries white.
Didn't she marry a white guy?

Speaker 3 (01:48:23):
I don't think that makes it a racist either.

Speaker 10 (01:48:26):
You got a preference, like I mean, yeah, I mean
like everybody's sort of into the things they're into.

Speaker 3 (01:48:32):
Somebody, Like I'm a guy who doesn't really have a type.
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
I've dated every you think of what a person looks like,
I've dated somebody looks like it. Right, I had a
girlfriend who was a Korean Jew. I've dated black girls,
dated Asian girls, dated Indian girls. Right. I don't really
have a type, but some people do. And Kim Kardashian
has a type. Yeah, She's like Kim Kardashian. All things considered,

(01:49:01):
it is like she should do who she wants to do.
By the way, nobody is required to have sex with
the colors of Benetton. No, Alan Kim's full of crap.
My girlfriend is a lawyer.

Speaker 4 (01:49:20):
Oh God for you.

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
Although the California bar is the third hardest to pass
because they're trying to keep the riff raff out, I
know what. The top two are New York State and
maybe Florida Massachusetts. I bet you's hard you think so well,
just because that's where Harvard is. Yeah, I feel like
you're graduating that many people. I don't know, it's just
just just my first guess. Which states have the hardest

(01:49:45):
bar exams to pass? Gotta be California, Louisiana. Why they're
fifty second in literacy, but apparently it's a real hard
bar exam New York, Florida, Maryland, Delaware. Maybe that's why
it's the hardest place to take it in louis because
nobody understands what it is they're taking. Louisiana State exam
is challenging because it uniquely combines common law and civil law. Okay,

(01:50:09):
New York is tough because of the high volume of
applicants and the density of the material. Florida has its
own state specific exam.

Speaker 3 (01:50:19):
Okay, can we go back to Kanye for just a second. Please?
I love his music so much that does he have
to be such a lunatic.

Speaker 2 (01:50:31):
Because he's mentally ill?

Speaker 7 (01:50:33):
I know?

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
But my godcuse Matt's good? Are these songs?

Speaker 7 (01:50:38):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:50:38):
Trust me? Back in the day, I was singing the
praises of Kanye. I mean, what do you know? Yeah,
come on, I mean, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:50:45):
When I moved back in six to work for a
few years in Chicago, every Chief Keith and Kanye Boy,
that's all anybody was talking about. Dim All the Lights
could be one of my favorite songs of all time.
And I don't like I feel bad when the song
come on and I listened to him, I'm like, oh,
this is so good.

Speaker 3 (01:51:02):
I love Kanye. And then I'm like, no, I hate Kanye.
He's such an idiot. I'm completely indifferent to the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:51:08):
Well talking about him when some stuff comes up, but
I'm like, unless you are doing this again, I don't care.
You're not even on my radar.

Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
Yeah, oh this stuff was so good. Graduation and oh.

Speaker 2 (01:51:20):
So good those albums just oh perfection, Yeah, okay, sad
what mental illness can do. Yeah, it's taken more of
it than a few of our good artists. That album,
Graduation was his third. It came out on nine to
eleven rob in two thousand and seven.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Yeah, I mean it has.

Speaker 2 (01:51:39):
Mental illness has taken a lot of our good artists,
but it didn't make them like, let's be Nazi racist,
like you know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Kanye went to the end.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
Well, yeah, but he's in an environment now and a
pop culture that requires you to have people paying attention
to you no matter what I guess. But I mean
he went zero to full blown Nazi overnight. I mean
easy was like releasing Nazi T shirts from Like it

(01:52:08):
was one night he was crazy, the.

Speaker 3 (01:52:10):
Next day he was a Nazi.

Speaker 2 (01:52:12):
The dude did a VH one Storytellers. Yeah, God's sake, right,
I mean, one of the biggest stars in the world.
It's such a weird collapse to me, and again, I
get mental illness. I think the biggest tragedy of the
whole thing is that no one in camp Kanye was like, dude,
we got to reel this in.

Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
You're getting back on your mege get you know what
I mean. Well, nobody was going to derail the money train. Yeah,
but it's derailed. It's dead forever, and now there's no legacy. Yeah, sad. Listen,
when you start calling yourself yesus, it's the first step
in the wrong direction.

Speaker 2 (01:52:50):
It's the beginning of the end.

Speaker 5 (01:52:51):
Boy.

Speaker 10 (01:52:51):
It had to be with his mother, right, like when
his mother died. That had to be where it really
started it and.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
Then probably has no small part in it.

Speaker 2 (01:52:58):
Yeah, yeah, and making his wife go out in public
wearing saran wrapped like it's just all so weird. You
weren't supposed to take black skinheads, so seriously, Kenye, all right,

Well you start three okay? Well if they if they
thought I started later, that would be something. When I
first came to Cleveland, I was on three to seven
and then I walked by and I saw mod members
only Dave from the other station there, and I said,
I said, you want to you want to sip a boove?
And it didn't even come out of my mouth all
the way because he watches the first hour of the show.

(01:55:40):
And he said, yes, I do, yeah, And I said, okay,
So I came and grabbed him a cup. I did
serve his uh paper because that's all I had left.

Speaker 3 (01:55:49):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:55:49):
He's a goer. He's a goer, he said, the thirsty
cowboys with us. He was working that room, and he
spins a good night John Boy down on the flats.

spending this weekend? Because I might pop my head in. Yeah, yeah,
I like him a lot. He's a good dude. He's great.

Speaker 3 (01:56:05):
I've been here a long time too. He's with that
dune bladdy though nut tapper. Oh is that what he's saying?

Speaker 1 (01:56:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:56:10):
Yeah, weirdo whom daddy was tapping Rob's nuts at the
aforementioned thirst security try.

Speaker 3 (01:56:15):
I mean, he he's you know, he gave me like
the hood. It's funny. We're a local thing. And then
I heard him.

Speaker 2 (01:56:21):
Except we're not in the locker room and we were
in public. Yeah, Ethan in Rochester.

Speaker 3 (01:56:31):
Sorry, I was laughing at the nut tap with the
davidly wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:56:39):
So so you guys were talking about Kanye West and
some of the issues that he has and on top
of mental illness, that guy is a real problem with
with nitrous and uh, he's a Hoffer before before you laugh, Well,
it's it sounds crazy, but I actually know a few
people that have similar issues, and man, it makes him psychotic.

Speaker 2 (01:56:59):
They have episodes, they imagine things.

Speaker 3 (01:57:03):
It's it's powerful stuff, man.

Speaker 10 (01:57:06):
But isn't that more short term than long term? Like,
isn't nitrous a drug that acts very quickly?

Speaker 1 (01:57:11):
Yeah, but you got to get that mixed, right, Yeah,
I mean, so you can you can get to small crackers,
right and then in the last you know, ten, fifteen,
twenty seconds whatever. But you can also get larger tanks
that are I don't know, a leader gallon. I'm not
sure how they how they sure, you know, say the
size of it. But but you take what these people
that I know were doing is they're taking multiple hits

(01:57:33):
at once, and you know, there's ten thirty seconds turn
into ten or fifteen minutes, and they're just I mean
a very close friend of mine was having a full
on conversation with his father who had died ten years.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
Earlier, and I was like, yea, oh, I don't want
anything to do with this stuff, man.

Speaker 10 (01:57:47):
But I think my point is, though, on the even
if it's on the back side of a half an
hour long feel like you know, you're high at balls
on nitrous, don't you that's still short term, right? Or
do you come out all screwed up because you screwed
yourself up for so long? Well, there's a cumulative effect.
I mean you're burning out cells. So I mean the
longer that you're doing it. You know, back in the day,
like Ethan described, you know. I was in college.

Speaker 2 (01:58:08):
There are a couple of dudes I knew who were like,
you know, big time Hoffers, and it was like, yeah,
you could buy a legit tank from like a dental
supply company or something like you know, you got to
mix tho with oxygen. They're like, yeah, yeah, I'll get
right on that. I've probably done my body waiting whippets
over the years, but that was never my thing. I
was never a huffer man. I had friends that would paint,
and it's like that was never my thing. Man didn't

(01:58:29):
care for that.

Speaker 3 (01:58:29):
I mean an I'll talk to my dad all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:58:32):
You're further speaking from new lecture.

Speaker 2 (01:58:35):
My dad will contact me through the various electronic devices
in cosa cock.

Speaker 1 (01:58:39):
So you think you just cooked himself, is what you're saying, Oh,
that's it, Like it's yeah, that stuff is like I said, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:58:46):
It sounds it's silly like nitrist that's the.

Speaker 2 (01:58:49):
Problem, but it really is.

Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
And like I've seen people take with a dusters or
whatever those think the Backstreet Boy's brother he died from
that car. I've seen people hit that dust stirt and
and turn blue and I thought they were dead.

Speaker 2 (01:59:03):
Before he hit the floor. I'm like, how do we
explain this one?

Speaker 3 (01:59:06):
But there's a there's crazy.

Speaker 10 (01:59:07):
There's a visual line of demarcation with Kanye West too,
where you can see the craziness in his face, like
he went from being the face of hip hop to
being the face of mental illness. Like he looks like
his everything about his face, he just looks that shrimp crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
Well, we are all the anti Semitic stuff happened.

Speaker 2 (01:59:30):
But also it is interesting that when people's brains start
to curdle, for whatever reason, they go right to the
anti semitism. I don't know why that's a default position.
But no, but it's like we as a culture, we
give artists such latitude.

Speaker 3 (01:59:45):
Yeah that nobody, well, that's part of their genius.

Speaker 2 (01:59:47):
It's like, yeah, but that's I mean, if he was
making That's all I've ever said about the guy. Just
make music, right, Just make music, everybody. I don't need
your four hundred dollars T shirts that are repackaged Haynes
with yezus On.

Speaker 3 (02:00:01):
I don't need that.

Speaker 2 (02:00:02):
Everybody was fine with him until the Nazi stuff started,
obviously right the time for people to reel it in
and been you know, hey, Kanye, why don't you get
some help heal, like was ten year fifteen years ago. Yeah,
but he was also ahead of the game if you
look back right, he must have seen something coming down
the pike where he was like, Yeah, this Nazi stuff's
freaking people out now. But give her five or six
years and a lot of people are gonna be onborn.

Speaker 3 (02:00:24):
I see. Yeah, look, man, he's a visionary.

Speaker 10 (02:00:27):
Wrong whatever it was. I mean, and you talked about
Kim Kardashian for a long time. She stayed quote unquote
married to that man until twenty twenty two, so there
were there were already lines of very small mustaches and
craziness in his eyes and mouth in twenty twenty two
that she's stuck through.

Speaker 3 (02:00:45):
Let me drop this on you, gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
Is there a chance if you cast your mind back
and it only lasted for nine months, is there a
chance that Pete Davidson knock something loose M Kardashian. Yeah,
but it wouldn't have affected right through the transitive property
round have a hammer? Yeah, I don't know, all right,

(02:01:09):
Thank you, Ethan. Are you keeping your head on a swivel?
You okay?

Speaker 7 (02:01:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:01:13):
Except from fighting a real nasty cold, I'm pretty good
at the moment.

Speaker 2 (02:01:17):
All right, well, uh, you know what they say, kills
the common cold Ethan, Right, it's it.

Speaker 3 (02:01:26):
That's what I've heard.

Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
Caine and hookers. Yeah, you get that post nasal drip. Right, Okay,
thank you, Ethan.

Speaker 3 (02:01:34):
Doculator. All right, there's Ethan in Rochester, New York.

Speaker 11 (02:01:39):
That dude makes me laugh. Many, it's funny.

Speaker 3 (02:01:41):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
By the way, you've probably seen absolutely down here. You've
seen the billboards for it. Rob the Jonas Brothers are
in town tonight. Oh is that tonight at the Rocket Arena.
There was a hot minute where I was asking my
daughter if she wanted to go, because this is again
I trying to instill the just go for the opener

(02:02:03):
vibe with my kid because All American Rejects is opening
the Jonahs Brothers tour and she likes them. Right, My
daughter's ear goes very much toward like the pop punk stuff. Right,
it's appropriate. She's a nine year old girl. But they've
pulled out, by the way, So if you're an All
American Rejects fan, and maybe you're in the minority of

(02:02:23):
people who bought tickets because you dig them, they bailed
on the tour when like a night ago. I think
she's I think Buffalo was the first show they didn't
play with them, and they're not here in Cleveland. So
who's opening nobody? I think they're scrambling. They had, uh,
what's his nuts open? Who did they have? They had

(02:02:44):
Jesse McCartney. Jesus remember that guy? They dig him up?

Speaker 3 (02:02:47):
Beautiful Soul? That was his song? All right, sir?

Speaker 2 (02:02:51):
Now the bonus Jonahs ain't gonna be there, right, He's
the one that I think is hosting the game show.

Speaker 3 (02:02:56):
There's a game show called Claim to Fame. Have you
ever seen that?

Speaker 2 (02:02:59):
No, they take the boneas Jonas, he's the one that's
not in the band, but then they got to throw
him an actual Jonas brother that people know. And the
game show it's a reality competition show about people and
all they're all related to a celebrity. It's actually kind
of interesting. I've watched a couple episodes. I couldn't tell
you what channel it's on or streamer or whatever, but
it's called Claim to Fame and there are clues and

(02:03:21):
all of the other people have to figure out who
they're related to, and then they get up like it
can be pretty tenuous.

Speaker 3 (02:03:29):
You know, oh uh, William H. Macy is my great uncle.

Speaker 2 (02:03:32):
That kind of crap. But they get a video message
from the legit celebrity, Yeah, this is my nephew whatever.
So it's kind of interesting. But the Bonus Jonas is
the one who hosts it, and I think Kevin is
with him anyway. Jonas brothers are in Cleveland tonight. But
if you were a fan of the All American Rejects,
they were on that supposed to be on that whole tour,
they bailed.

Speaker 3 (02:03:54):
They said that the front man needs vocal rest. It
says just he's doing it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:00):
Vocal rest usually means boy, we're not selling as many
tickets in this arena, tor As.

Speaker 3 (02:04:04):
I thought we were. That's what vocal rest means.

Speaker 2 (02:04:07):
Jesse McCartney's here, all right, and Delisa Lisa deliasa Alsa
Delsa Yeah. Oh wait a minute, Delisa, timeout, pause, stop
the presses. The Bonus Jonas is here, along with a
performance by Franklin Jonas, the fourth Jonas brother. They colin Franklin.

(02:04:30):
I thought he was Frankie Jonas. Franklin Jonas, the Bonus Jonas. Wow,
all right, well you're getting all kinds of stuff. They
really scrambled, didn't they, Hey we need you Franklin. Yeah,
double a R split. Can we get Franklin.

Speaker 10 (02:04:44):
I'll tell you what that will make for Oh, you know,
it's so cold outside though, everything's gonna be bundled up.

Speaker 3 (02:04:48):
Because this is this is like.

Speaker 2 (02:04:51):
Man is in town now, all right, because now that
Jonas Brothers fans, you know what you're bringing in here.

Speaker 3 (02:04:58):
You're bringing in that early thirty his mid thirties crowd
mama's and they're kids.

Speaker 2 (02:05:03):
Uh huh yeah, Delisa, I think is just like a
rap hippie dude from Atlanta or something like that. So
but yeah, all American rejects bailed on that tour. Wow,
and the Jonas Brothers in town. It's called Greetings from
your Hometown and there They've got a handful of different
people in other cities, like Marshmallow, the DJ and the

(02:05:24):
other in other cities. But today was supposed to be
all American rejects. So if you're somebody going to the
show and you really like them and you can get
the news, they're off the tour. I don't think I
know a Jonas Brother's song, Yes you do, do, I
I would think so, I know it's Snake on the Beach,

(02:05:45):
but that's a side produce the Oceanake by the Ocean?

Speaker 3 (02:05:48):
Is that a sucker? Is that Jonas Brothers or is
that just a Nick Jonas song?

Speaker 2 (02:05:53):
Don't know?

Speaker 3 (02:05:53):
I'm a sucker for you?

Speaker 2 (02:05:55):
Were they the Naked Brother's Band? Those are the Wolf brothers.
Weren't they the kid that was in Hereditary When they
were younger? There was a show called the Naked Brother's Band,
and I think that was Nate Wolf and his brother
So the Jonas Brothers.

Speaker 3 (02:06:07):
I don't know their music. I know they started them.
You would know that song instantly they started on the
Disney Channel.

Speaker 2 (02:06:14):
Why would I know that because it was played every
single place on this planet.

Speaker 3 (02:06:20):
Hit play on Sucker and you will know that song.

Speaker 2 (02:06:22):

It was in a commercial. I forget what commercial it
was in, but it was well known for that. Uh,
only Human, only only Human TV commercial. Okay, that song

(02:09:39):
I've heard so probably from a commercial. Yeah, it was
in Hill's Pet Nutrition, Eminem's and met it Bank. Well,
Your kidd Sucker was like a number one song, never
heard of perform I think it was their Nigga from
twenty nineteen. I've never heard. I would imagine their biggest
of all their songs. I mean, I don't get me wrong,

(02:10:01):
I know they're a big deal. I'm just saying I
don't know their songs. This might be right there with
it though, Okay, I have heard, I just didn't know
it was them. They were like a boy band. They
did like the camp rock crap on Disney. I know
they came from with like Demi Lovano and yeah, I
know that's where they started. But like I'm I wasn't

oh God for you. So Burning Up I think was
another one that was like of that time. That's from
two thousand and eight. Man, you could just sell your

Speaker 2 (02:12:28):
It's blow ai goodness from your Australia Rob. It is
falling iguana season down there in Florida. Is your wife
still down there? She just got on a flight. She's
on her way to uh Nashville as we speak.

Speaker 3 (02:12:39):
Oh fantastic. I thought she was gonna get a knock
down there.

Speaker 2 (02:12:42):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (02:12:42):
She did say it was forty.

Speaker 2 (02:12:44):
Two degrees this morning when she woke up, So I
understand what you're talking about now.

Speaker 6 (02:12:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:12:48):
Yeah, it's when it gets really cold down there in
Florida and the iguanas that are in the trees. We
talk about this every year, and people are bureau chiefs
down there in Florida know all about this. But the
iguanas are kind of in this kind of state of
stasis or hibernation or something, and they tell people to
be careful because they'll just fall out of the trees
and if you're not paying attention, they will hit you

(02:13:09):
on the head.

Speaker 3 (02:13:10):
There are people who will every year get hit on
the head.

Speaker 2 (02:13:13):
But yeah, falling iguanas down there in Florida when that
Arctic air goes south ten degrees colder than it normally is.
I was seeing a whole bunch of people down there
in Florida posting. They're like, yeah, it's a lot of fun.
It's forty degrees done here.

Speaker 3 (02:13:31):
That sucks.

Speaker 2 (02:13:32):
Yeah, but it's going to warm up again quick like
this is well, it's warm up up here too, you know,
I mean not to the degree that it will feel
part of the pun the degree that it will in Florida.
But I mean, well, it's supposed to be what almost
sixty this weekend, I think, right? Is Saturday supposed to
be like fifty eight like that? Yeah, at least that's
what I heard earlier. Because I still have to do
my leaves rain tomorrow. Yeah, fifty nine on Saturday. That's great,

(02:13:56):
all right, I still have That's what I was freaking
out about, because I'm like, oh this know this quick, right,
My leaves are all still on the ground. I gotta
cut the grass. Yeah, I cut the grass last weekend.
I don't I haven't really done the leaves yet. I
don't want that stuff sitting there for the winner. You know.

Speaker 3 (02:14:12):
I like to leave.

Speaker 2 (02:14:13):
I like to leave the leaves, Rob, because it's good
for the ecosystem. It's good for the ground, it's good
for the lawn and the dirt and it's you know,
but it's for your grass. It might be unsightly, but
I like to know. I'll still rake or I'll blow,
you know how I like to blow.

Speaker 12 (02:14:33):
Rob.

Speaker 3 (02:14:36):
So the iguanas are falling there.

Speaker 15 (02:14:37):
In far.

Speaker 3 (02:14:42):
Yeah, just like fainting goats.

Speaker 2 (02:14:45):
Right, It's just like that pretty much yes, fainting goats,
dehydrated camels, they're all kind of cut from the same claw. Yeah,
Alan is getting hit in the head with a falling

(02:15:06):
iguana considered an act of God. I don't know about that.
But speaking of act of God, I gotta tell you,
with respect, of course, I am an atheist, and I
think that people's you know, they talk about how you
have to respect people's religious beliefs, and I reject that
on principle. I think that religious beliefs of every single
stripe should be mocked. However, I'll leave that to you know,

(02:15:31):
other people. But I was kind of surprised. Do you
remember the flooding in Texas. It's undeniably an absolute tragedy.
I'm not saying anything about that, but when those Texas
floods blew through and there was that riverside Christian camp
and like twenty seven people died, it was called Camp Mystic.

(02:15:56):
They had huge floods back in July. This was central
tex It killed one hundred and thirty people through that
whole region. But twenty five campers and two counselors at
this place called Camp Mystic, which is a private Christian
girls camp in central Texas right on the river there,

(02:16:20):
and I was reading this morning that all of these
lawsuits have been filed, and I'm like, see, this is
where you lose me, because I understand if you're a
parent and you're grieving and you've lost all these families
that are just destroyed because of this, fully understand that
as a parent, as a human.

Speaker 3 (02:16:40):
But it was an act of God. And either walk
the walkie you don't.

Speaker 2 (02:16:46):
I know, we're in a post walk the walk culture now,
But the Guadalupe River, I mean, it's regionally known as
flash flood Alley.

Speaker 3 (02:16:56):
That's why they call it. And so all these people
are following lawsuits.

Speaker 2 (02:17:00):
Are like, these girls died because a for profit camp
put money over safety. Okay, but you sent your kid there, see,
adjacent to a place they call flash flood Alley.

Speaker 3 (02:17:13):
But isn't that they're they're the guy who owns the
camp died in the flood.

Speaker 2 (02:17:17):
By the way, the act of God piece is just
the flooding of the waters, right, So I can see
them going after the camp for not having the safety precautions.
They owns camp died. He died trying to save campers.
He's so shame on him, Like how do you not
have better things in play? In play, like if you
know that it's that kind of thing. Like, I can

(02:17:38):
understand them suing for that, But if you send your
kid to a camp that is adjacent to a called
flash flood alley, Yeah, I mean again, I'm not I'm
not victim blaming here. I'm just saying it seems mildly
ironic that a Christian camp has a bunch of family
suing for what is ultimately an act of God. I

(02:17:59):
don't think that, but that's not the part they're suing for.
I mean, everybody died in a flood. They didn't die
in a fire.

Speaker 3 (02:18:05):
But they died in a flood because that place wasn't
prepared with what to do should a place called flood
alley or whatever you called it flash flood out, slash
flood alley, there was there was no plans beyond that
to do anything to save their children or protect their children.

Speaker 10 (02:18:20):
I can see them going after them for that. Again,
I think the act of God thing is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (02:18:24):
If somebody's tree falls into my house, my insurance company's
going to go, oh yeah, no, no that's not there,
So you your premiums will go up because it hit
your house.

Speaker 3 (02:18:35):
It was there tree. The act of God thing is ridiculous. Yep, Rob,
I made all that up. That was a test and
you passed. Thank you very much. One year anniversary on
the show, right look at me. I made that whole
thing up. See how you'd react.

Speaker 2 (02:18:55):
Just for you, Alan, Did you see the hot Chilean

year of the most beautiful women on the planet, she
has to be in the top ten. Gorgeous. She is gorgeous, stunning, Yeah,
very slight. And then that mouth, the voice, that voice

(02:22:29):
that came out of her mouth is what I meant
to say.

Speaker 3 (02:22:31):
Yes, I know what you meant. Yeah, I've heard your thoughts.
Gotta have it moist. Everybody else has heard my thoughts too,
Gotta have it moist.

Speaker 2 (02:22:46):
Rob. There's been a loss in the entertainment community. Oh no,
Clo Escabato has died.

Speaker 1 (02:22:53):
You know that.

Speaker 2 (02:22:56):
Yes, he's the house band leader over there Onmy kim Alive.
I guess it's not Jimmy Kimmelive anymore, is it? That
was twenty five years ago?

Speaker 3 (02:23:05):
Just Jimmy Kimmel.

Speaker 2 (02:23:06):
Yeah, they describe him as Jimmy Kimmel's best friend and
bandleader clayt.

Speaker 3 (02:23:10):
Jo Escabido has done. You know, we had like a
liver issue.

Speaker 2 (02:23:14):
He did well. He had a liver transplant. Okay, complications. Wow, Yeah,
it sucks. He was young, been there for a long time.
So Kimmel has canceled his Thursday show. Oh, I'm sorry.
He was hospitalized last week. Jimmy Kimmel canceled maybe last Thursday,

(02:23:35):
last minute. Yeah, he has passed away. He was a
young man, fifty something, fifty nine.

Speaker 11 (02:23:42):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:23:42):
But that.

Speaker 2 (02:23:44):
Complications, Boy, you think you're obviously there's any comp there's
complications with any surgical situation. But you're like, I get
a liver transplant. You know, you're you're anticipating a new
lease on life.

Speaker 3 (02:23:56):
I'm gonna be okay everything. Yeah, that sucks.

Speaker 2 (02:23:59):
Man Escabato, who toured with Earth, Wind and Fire, and
Paula Abdul, became friends in Vegas. That's where Jimmy Kimmel's
from when he was nine years old. They grew up
across the Oh. I thought he meant showbiz best friend. No,
these guys didn't know each other forever. Wow, because Kimmel

(02:24:21):
gave hope much like Ryan Seacrest, but in a different way.
Kimmel gave hope to every kind of schlubby radio guy
who wanted to be on television. Yeah, you know, Kimmell
really threaded the needle. I mean, Jimmy Kimmel made the rounds,
He did the standard radio thing, Phoenix, Seattle, whatever. I
worked with, Well, I shouldn't say I worked with the
guy I did, but he was on another radio station.

(02:24:42):
When I went back to Chicago, I was doing mornings
at the alternative stations called Q one to one and
next door at a station called The Loop, which ironically
is the station that I began as an intern. Remember
as dressed as a lobster downtown. I was an intern
for a guy named Jonathan Brandmeyer. They had brought him
back to the Loop when I moved back to Chicago,

(02:25:05):
so I was down the hall from the guy I
started with. I was competing against him and his news
guy was a guy named Kent Voss, who was Jimmy
Kimmel's old co host in the radio days, and he
had been a writer in the early days of Jimmy

(02:25:26):
Kimmel's television show.

Speaker 10 (02:25:27):
Well, his whole thing blew up when The Man Show happened,
but that was he was still on KLOS right in
La and Corona.

Speaker 2 (02:25:34):
Yeah, and so yeah, you know, people realized Jimmy Kimmel
has been on for like twenty five years almost on
TV on TV in that show Jimmy Kimmel Ive started
in two thousand and three.

Speaker 3 (02:25:49):
Oh jesus.

Speaker 11 (02:25:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:25:50):
Anyway, clayo est Cabato died, that sucks. Well, now I
wonder what he does.

Speaker 10 (02:26:02):
And again, I I hate to ask questions like that,
but but in a situation where the whole thing is
Cleto and the Kletones is your band, what do you do?

Speaker 3 (02:26:13):
Like he's dead, your show, your show is going to continue?
Was it just Thees?

Speaker 12 (02:26:16):
Do you have?

Speaker 2 (02:26:17):
Like?

Speaker 3 (02:26:18):
Do you just pay tribute to him that way?

Speaker 2 (02:26:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:26:20):
I think so, Like you get change the name of
the band, right, who's the band lead?

Speaker 2 (02:26:25):
Well, think back to Conan, right, it used to be
the Max Weinberg seven, and then he left and it
was Jimmy Viveno and the and the Conan O'Brien band
or something. See, I thought it was always I thought
Jimmy was always on that first I thought it was
Jimmy Vivino and the Max Weinberg seven.

Speaker 3 (02:26:44):
Maybe it was, but that would just mean that they
kept the name right. Maybe, But when I saw it,
I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:26:50):
Networks again, rid of house bands. Now you got rid
of Seth Meyers, they got you know.

Speaker 10 (02:26:54):
When I saw Conan Live, Jimmy was still the band
leader and he was doing an Year two thousand and
all that stuff, and next Weinberg was still in the band. Okay,
so I wonder, Yeah, maybe I don't know. I don't
know either.

Speaker 2 (02:27:15):
Let's see here, I'm just looking at some I haven't
been keeping up with the talkback messages throughout the show today.

Speaker 13 (02:27:29):
Hey, and you said that people who paid their dues
and busted their ass to get where they are in
their chosen career fields would be grudge Kim k for
just being famous and then cruising on into it. She
busted her ass too, She had Ray J punish it.

Speaker 3 (02:27:49):
All right, Well, yeah, a little on the nose. Yeah yeah, Hey, Rob,
I love the show.

Speaker 13 (02:27:59):
I've got nothing against you personally, but you're a Patriots fan.
And since you're a Patriots fan, I felt the need
to tell you a joke that I made everybody thinks
tom Brady's the goat. Well, if tom Brady's the goat,
then Eli Manning is a perverted farmer because he screwed
the goat twice.

Speaker 2 (02:28:20):
That's a good joke, all right, Well that is a
very very good joke. Eli Manning be Tom Brady twice?

Speaker 3 (02:28:27):
Yeah, the Giants? Is it safe to say?

Speaker 2 (02:28:32):
And I don't want to get off in a whole
sports tie right here, but since the guy brought him up,
is it safe to say that Eli Manning is an
underappreciated champion? No, he's such a dope. I mean, and
he's and he's got a couple of right he's not okay, No,
I think he is the most right place right time. No,
I mean, listen, you can't ever take away the fact

(02:28:53):
that he has two Super Bowl but he is by
far the least talented overall.

Speaker 3 (02:29:01):
This was this was my question. That was my assessment
based on like what I hear in the wind, But
I was curious if that was the truth.

Speaker 10 (02:29:10):
But again, I'm also a Patriots fan who the perfect
season was foiled by Eli Manning, right, So I just
think that I don't think a quarterback of his caliber
will ever have two Super Bowls again, it hadn't happened
prior to.

Speaker 3 (02:29:29):
I mean he had the right team to get to
the Super Bowl twice.

Speaker 2 (02:29:32):
No, I mean he. I think that it was the
perfect storm of things that happened for Eli Manning to
win two championships.

Speaker 3 (02:29:38):
Okay, both at the Patriots expense again, no take retired.

Speaker 10 (02:29:42):
Yeah oh yeah, yeah. And I think he's great. He
and his brother do the Manning cast on ESPN.

Speaker 3 (02:29:47):
Plus. I think it's great. I watch it all the time.
I love Eli.

Speaker 10 (02:29:50):
I think he's very, very funny. But the talent in
that family is Peyton, I mean, the older brother, Cooper
I believe was supposed to be even better. But we'll
see what happens with Arch because they keep saying he's
supposed to be great too.

Speaker 2 (02:30:05):
And at the risk of people making fun of me,
you no, dummy in real life, like the guy got
like four point h at ole miss Yeah yeah, you know,
yeah he wasn't doing paper classes like he was doing
real classes.

Speaker 10 (02:30:16):
Yeah, I just I will always there's so many quarterbacks
that never even got to the big game.

Speaker 3 (02:30:22):
Right by the way, sixteen seasons with one team, well, yeah,
that's crazy. And it's the Giants too.

Speaker 2 (02:30:30):
Well, but drafted by the Chargers, right, you have your
whole career in New York. I don't think I realized that.

Speaker 3 (02:30:38):
Good for him, yep.

Speaker 10 (02:30:39):
I can't remember if he was one of the guys
that he pulled in l Way as well, like he
refused to play there in the charch I don't remember,
or San Diego just got rid of him right away.
I don't recall, but I know he played like his
entire career was in New York. Yeah, we could have
an Eli Manning expert online too if you wanted to.

Speaker 3 (02:31:00):
What and then just hung up?

Speaker 2 (02:31:03):
Oh, Chargers had the first overall pick in the four draft.
There were four and twelve season before. Yep, Manning being
the most coveted player in the draft right because he
was Peyton's little brother and he was good. I mean, no,
of course he deserved to be there, but the name
recognition was already without question. Chargers' intentions were to draft

(02:31:23):
him first overall. Manning and his father Archie said he
would refuse to play for the Chargers if drafted by them. Yes,
he pulled an Lway same thing, refuse to play and
they get rid of them, they draft them, and then
you trade them off because he wanted to go somewhere else. Yeah,
I think anywhere. But wow, I wonder why it happens

(02:31:46):
a lot. You see that stuff. Eric Lindros was was
a famous one on the hockey side. Yeah, I mean
if it was good enough for Jim Harbaugh, rob good
enough for Eli Manning, And I'll tell you this, he's
good enough for Drew. Wasn't he like a big time
dude with the Chargers? Eli Manning would not?

Speaker 10 (02:32:04):
Well, Drew was with it with the Saints, but Eli
Manning would not have had two Super Bowls had he
stuck around in San Diego.

Speaker 2 (02:32:10):
Well, No, Drew Brees blew up with the Saints, but
I think he got drafted by the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (02:32:14):
I think he did.

Speaker 2 (02:32:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:32:15):
The Allen Cox Show on one hundred seven's call The Allen.

Speaker 15 (02:32:23):
Cox Show, pay attention to notice the reverse of everything
that is normal becoming abnormal two.

Speaker 7 (02:32:29):
One sixty five seven eight one double oh seven or
one four eight one double oh seven?

Speaker 16 (02:32:35):
Okay, all right, all right, all right, Oh wait, freak
trying out on wheelchairs motorized by electric motors makes my
goblins benefactory.

Speaker 4 (02:32:55):
That of my drywall and other products, so they.

Speaker 3 (02:32:58):
Can eat back at home on the sofa.

Speaker 16 (02:33:03):
That would about a maynai's chandler ming who guide in

A flavored water on a parles.

Speaker 3 (02:33:26):
No cavalier's tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:33:27):
So I infer if history can be any guide, then
we will get the core erotic experience tonight.

That is correct?

Speaker 2 (02:33:38):
Six thirty So you get an earful of core erotic tonight,
and then tomorrow night the kaz will be playing the
Miami Heat again. And I don't think that it's too
far to say that they will be looking for revenge,
blood thirsty revenge.

Speaker 8 (02:33:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:33:55):
Do you think that Belchi was intentional in the song
or do you think it happened in the like it's
a happy little accident and it's the funniest thing.

Speaker 3 (02:34:02):
Of all time. I don't know, but I like to
think that it was intentional. It just seems right.

Speaker 2 (02:34:10):
Accident, Yeah, I think it was. So it just happened
and he kept going. And why would you ever replace
that from that type of band? It's perfect love. The
Viagra Boys, I think they're Swedish.

Speaker 3 (02:34:21):
They're great, right. Freak out on.

Speaker 16 (02:34:28):
Wheelchairs motorized by electric motors make my.

Speaker 3 (02:34:31):
Goblins a factory.

Speaker 2 (02:34:35):
I just think I just think that might have just happened, right, like,
because it came from the bowl. It's boy, it's deep man,
seen it happens. And he keeps going like, I don't
know that one credit from the basement so funny. Mm hmm.
Love them, don't know when they're coming back.

Speaker 21 (02:34:53):
God, I would love it if you guys developed a
drinking problem and drink every day on the show, because
I have been laughing my ass off and YouTube buffoons
going back and forth on this show. Happy one year
click rattler Rich from Northfield, Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:35:12):
Wow, how that guy? We don't do the show drunk
every day.

Speaker 2 (02:35:16):
Because I have put out a public service announcement on
a regular basis. They go, Hey, a lot of you
have asked, because the show so bad, are you and
Rob drunk or you do you don't know where you are?

Speaker 3 (02:35:29):
And I said, no, no, we're not, and we're not
drunk today either. No, no, no, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (02:35:35):
No. We popped a bottle of Uve because it is
Rob's one year anniversary, and you know what better way
to celebrate and Rob is a man of refined tastes.

(02:35:56):
Rotten Alan could there beat more opposite sides of the
political coin than Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla.

Speaker 3 (02:36:06):
That is true, but twenty five years ago, not twenty
five years ago. But also I think of that as well.

Speaker 2 (02:36:13):
That is one example of how you can kind of
bridge those divides with people who genuinely like each other.

Speaker 10 (02:36:21):
Do you think it affected their relationship at all? Yes,
I'm sure it had to, right, Yeah, because Corolla was
obviously the antithesis of himself.

Speaker 2 (02:36:29):
It's also a function of and as a guy who
has been divorced, a divorce guy will tell you this.
There are some states in which it is more oppressive
to get divorced. Like I got married the first time
at Marrita, Michigan, but divorced in the state of Pennsylvania.

(02:36:51):
You do not want to get divorced in the state
of Pennsylvania. I knew doctors making tons of money, you know,
and by the time I was getting divorced, I'm starting
to make some real in this business. But I knew
doctors that were getting divorced that were giving up like
eighty five percent of their income.

Speaker 3 (02:37:06):
Right, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:37:07):
So there are I mean, my ex wife and I
I'm like, I don't want all this michigas. I just
voluntarily said, I'll give you half of everything. And so
that's what we did until my kids turned eighteen and
was done with all that kind of stuff. But again,
I still kick in a lot for my older kids.

(02:37:28):
I paid their both of their rents for years and
years and years. You know, if you can do it,
I think you should do it, because they were very
little when we split.

Speaker 3 (02:37:36):
But what I've noticed is that's when a lot of
guys get radicalized.

Speaker 2 (02:37:44):
In a more right wing direction, is when they get
divorced because they're mad because they're losing some money. If
there's kids involved, that's a whole other thing. It sounds dismissive,
but when I talk to friends of mine that have
no kids that are getting divorced, I go, it's not
even a comparison. It's not even remotely the same. You're

(02:38:06):
just breaking up legally, right, It's not even remotely the
same to get divorced when you don't have kids. You
just go give me my albums, I'll go get an apartment.
You're done, maybe you own a house. You know, marriage
is easy to get out of compared to property. It's
like these things it's about a house with my boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (02:38:27):
Why did you do that?

Speaker 2 (02:38:31):
So? Adam Carolla, I think is one of those guys
who got and again, I don't know the man. I've
had him on a couple of times over the years.

Speaker 7 (02:38:38):
I like him.

Speaker 2 (02:38:40):
Or not aligned politically, but again, he's not like some
crazy weird right wings.

Speaker 3 (02:38:44):
No, just more right wing than Jimmy Kimmel.

Speaker 2 (02:38:48):
I think a lot of guys get radicalized that way,
where they're like, you know, men's rights lawyers and crap
like that. I don't know, because you know, they talk
about divorce as being a kind of death. It really
is right up there mentally and physically and existentially with death.
And so, you know, somebody was texting me earlier about

(02:39:10):
how they had a really they kind of went down
a rabbit hole after their mom died or something, and
I'm like, that's exactly what happened with me when my
dad died. I went down.

Speaker 3 (02:39:19):
I went down a hole, man, and I would have
never anticipated it.

Speaker 2 (02:39:25):
I had a five or six year period where like
the closest people to me, friends mostly, and then my
dad all died.

Speaker 3 (02:39:34):
And I'm like, that is a hard thing to pull
yourself out of. Especially doing this job.

Speaker 2 (02:39:40):
Right, I'm not going and sitting at a desk every
day where I can just be quiet and do my
work in my cubicle.

Speaker 3 (02:39:45):
I got to come in here and be kept in
fun and that ain't always easy. I think it's that.

Speaker 2 (02:39:52):
But I also think the hardest part, and at least
this was this is how it was for me when
my father died, was you have the escape every day
of doing what we do, because.

Speaker 3 (02:40:02):
If you don't want to deal with something, you don't
have to, right, Like, even though you're look, you compartmentalize
at the very least, that's what I mean. Like, you're
not dealing with it.

Speaker 10 (02:40:11):
You're in here, you're having a good time, you're making jokes, haha,
you're not thinking about dad, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:40:16):
But then when you even if the audience isn't having
a good time, Rob, we are, we are. Yeah, And
that's that for me, that was always the hardest part
of dealing with things that were real life. Well, because
your dad's been gone a long time, long time, yeah,
fifteen years.

Speaker 5 (02:40:32):
Further speaking from the election.

Speaker 2 (02:40:35):
Does your dad ever contact you? Does his spirit ever
contact you through the electronic devices in your home and
never through the electronic devices. I will say, I don't
believe in many little things like that.

Speaker 3 (02:40:46):
I don't. I don't. I think the see you from
the other side stuff is malarkey.

Speaker 12 (02:40:52):
R h.

Speaker 2 (02:40:54):
I have dreams of times with my father that I
think that there has to be something that's connecting the
two of us in some way. I think, when you die, yeah,
your energy right, like there's there's there's electricity attached to you.
It's got to go someplace. Doesn't just end. Well, it's
a first law of thermodynamics, right right, I mean people

(02:41:15):
talk about that. I don't know how that manifests his
self in real life. I don't either, but I know
it to dead people. But I know that every once
in a while I have a dream where I feel
like when I wake up from the dream, I feel
like I was just with him, right, I mean like
it's not it's not like, oh, that.

Speaker 3 (02:41:29):
Was a cool dream. My dad said this.

Speaker 10 (02:41:31):
My dad said that the first probably ten years after
my dad died, I never heard his voice in a dream.

Speaker 3 (02:41:37):
Ever.

Speaker 10 (02:41:37):
I would see him and I would go Dad, and
he would come over to me and we'd hug or whatever,
and there was nothing but like that, I remember, like
it was yesterday. I had a dream my dad was
working on a food truck, as stupid as it sounds.

Speaker 5 (02:41:51):
And I.

Speaker 3 (02:41:53):
Don't even remember.

Speaker 10 (02:41:54):
I just remember he was on a food truck. He
was in and I looked up and I was like Dad,
and he goes, hey, and he walked to.

Speaker 3 (02:41:59):
The side door.

Speaker 2 (02:42:00):
So I kind of go over to him, and he
came over and he hugged me, and I said, my god,
I miss you, and he goes, it's fine, I'm okay,
and he patted me on my back. And when I
woke up from that, I woke up probably within minutes
of that ending. I felt like I talked to him.
I felt like he told me he was perfectly fine.
And I don't know what that meant.

Speaker 3 (02:42:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:42:19):
It's probably just what my brain told me I needed
to move on. But from that time forward, I always
had a different feeling about my dad's death. Interesting, yeah,
I never had. I don't have like I'm not I
wish he was here, you know, I wish I could
call him all the time. But I don't miss him
in that way anymore. I don't have that, Oh my Dad,
it's the feeling anymore. Ever since then, it's weird. So

(02:42:43):
I think there is something somewhere that connects you.

Speaker 3 (02:42:45):
I don't know how.

Speaker 2 (02:42:46):
It affected me a lot more than I would have
ever anticipated, just because obviously it's my dad. It's like,
you know, I left home at seventeen, right, went to college,
hit the road doing radio and stand up and all
that crap. So I was like, I hadn't really been
around my family with any regularity most of my adult life.

(02:43:06):
But he and I had a handful of conversations in
his last days that I would have never anticipated we
would have had, And so that kind of thing was
like I had a completely different perspective, so good or
him good?

Speaker 1 (02:43:25):
Good?

Speaker 2 (02:43:25):
Well, I mean illuminating.

Speaker 3 (02:43:30):
Okay, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (02:43:31):
Yeah, yeah, because again illuminating. I have the exact opposite
experience with death as you do. My father died instantly,
was in the middle of telling one of his friends
to get bent and drop dead, like the forward dead.

Speaker 3 (02:43:43):
You weren't there, I was not. I rushed, I beat
the ambulance to the hospital. I was at an event.
So when I saw them wheedling him in, there was
someone up on him, working on him, you know what
I mean. So I knew it was bad, and then
the social worker came out and I'm like, okay, dead.
But there's that he.

Speaker 2 (02:44:01):
Called me an hour before, So you always have like
those things. What did he want to say? Was he
calling me to tell me something was there? There's all
these questions you have when someone dies suddenly, whereas you
dealt with that long goodbye like this, And I think
that in my opinion, because again I don't know how
it feels, I think that's worse. I think having to
watch someone go through that stage and be a part

(02:44:21):
of it is way worse when it's apparent.

Speaker 3 (02:44:24):
So I don't I don't know. That's why I asked
if it was good or bad to have that time. Oh,
I think it's given the situation, I think.

Speaker 7 (02:44:38):
That it was.

Speaker 3 (02:44:40):
Are you thankful to have had you? Absolutely? Because post COVID.

Speaker 2 (02:44:45):
You know, our friend Mary Santoro, when she was on
the show, her dad died during COVID.

Speaker 3 (02:44:50):
I can't imagine what that would be like.

Speaker 2 (02:44:51):
No, so many people, yes, so many people had to
contend with that or they're saying goodbye to an iPad.
So I felt just awful off for her, you know,
because she had just kind of recently reconciled with her father.

Speaker 3 (02:45:04):
It was just a confluence of all these things that.

Speaker 2 (02:45:07):
So for me to have like, oh, full week with
my dad in various states of lucidity, obviously, but I
mean he and I would have conversations about things because
I never I always thought that my dad kind of
thought that I lived a frivolous life. So when he

(02:45:30):
disavowed me of that notion, because you know, my other
siblings had like square jobs, right, very smart people, all
at very square.

Speaker 3 (02:45:38):
There was almost some weight taken off of you. Then
I guess yeah, but I was like, you know, yeah,
it was. It was wild, though, but I'm so happy again.

Speaker 2 (02:45:48):
We were still wearing masks in the hospital, but it
wasn't like the blazing heat of COVID and.

Speaker 3 (02:45:54):
You were still talking to your dad.

Speaker 2 (02:45:56):
Yeah, yeah, And so it was yeah. So I'm so
happy though I had that time because to me, that was,
you know, in an otherwise terrible time, that was probably
the best case scenario.

Speaker 10 (02:46:08):
It's an interesting thing, man, because until you deal with
it one way or the other, you don't know what
the right answer is.

Speaker 3 (02:46:15):
There's no good or bad. There's just the opposite of
what you know.

Speaker 2 (02:46:19):
Right, Well, it's like you people talk about the dreams
like you do, the dreams that you have, and I'll
have dreams about my dad. It's sell chemicals, right. It
sounds terrible to say because we want to attach something
otherworldly to it. It's all chemicals. It's neurons firing, and
its memories and things like that. You know, it's all
very contained. We are just cars, right, We're just vehicles.

(02:46:40):
You know, you pop the skull off and they're doing
brain surgery.

Speaker 3 (02:46:42):
We're just cars. But it's still meaningful to you. It
means what it means.

Speaker 2 (02:46:49):
And so to have a couple of conversations with my
dad that I would have never had when we were all,
you know, running around and doing stuff, was I'm glad
that I had them.

Speaker 3 (02:47:02):
Did he know his end was near?

Speaker 4 (02:47:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:47:04):
I think he did, Okay, I think he knew after
the first couple of days. I think he knew he
wasn't leaving that hospital. So those conversations probably got I
would imagine again as lucidity changes, but I would imagine
they got more meaningful as the days went on. And well,
the first weekend, everybody showed up because the doctors were like,
he's not going to make it through the weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:47:24):
But he's a tough bastard. So he lasted another week.

Speaker 2 (02:47:28):
And so I was home for two full weeks, you know,
And I had been posting a couple of things just
for this audience to kind of keep them in the loop.

Speaker 3 (02:47:38):
I'm like, they said, my dad wasn't gonna last the weekend,
but he did.

Speaker 2 (02:47:43):
And so that first weekend, everybody showed up like ex
wives and next game, you know, like I said, ex
husbands and so. But that after that, when it was
just us and my mom never left the hotel room.
She would shower in the bathroom. You know, my mom
didn't leave that hotel room for two weeks.

Speaker 3 (02:48:00):
Not hospital. Yeah, she didn't leave the hospital for two weeks.
And so not once, not once.

Speaker 2 (02:48:07):
I would bring her food every morning, you know, Yeah,
because it was all day long. Go in there when
they open, you know, like visiting hours or whatever. My
mom argued with them. They're like, man, you can't say
she goes. I'm not going anywhere, So you guys figure
it out. Yeah, my mom didn't leave the hospital one
time in two weeks.

Speaker 3 (02:48:25):
That's amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:48:26):
Yeah, And so no, I was, to me, the best
case scenario for that type of situation was me being
able to have those conversations with him because I would
have never I think it was completely contingent on him knowing.

Speaker 3 (02:48:43):
This is it sure? Sure?

Speaker 12 (02:48:45):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (02:48:45):
Yeah say it now before you can. Yeah, yeah, Allen,
I found my dad. I found my dad dead in
his room when I was eight, and I haven't been
the same since I'm thirty two now.

Speaker 10 (02:48:56):
Yeah, yeah, Wall there's there's yeah, there's no way to
prepare yourself to deal with any of that stuff. Like
I'm going through it again with my mom right which
she just lost her husband and we have conversations all
the time where it's like, you know, She's like, you know,
I just I feel this and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (02:49:11):
What's just another stage of grieve? But it's different. I'm like, yeah,
it's different. It's a different person. It's a whole different thing.

Speaker 10 (02:49:17):
Like you're not there's no manual on how to do
any of this, so your body just deals with it differently.

Speaker 3 (02:49:24):
Your brain tells you how to cope.

Speaker 2 (02:49:27):
I did have a manual. My friend Manuel Smith, he
showed up and he was like, hey, man, here's how.

Speaker 3 (02:49:32):
You here's how you do this. Now, here's how you
do it. What a nice guy.

Speaker 10 (02:49:35):
I had Emanuel Lewis show up and that meant nothing
to me, right, but it was nice for him to
come to the wake.

Speaker 3 (02:49:42):
Is that George Papadopolis? Is that Mongo? I was like,
oh Webster, thank you man. I was so nice you
to be here for my dad. Alan, I love Rob.
His dad died telling one of his friends to get bent.
Totally true. Yeah, I was not a joke.

Speaker 2 (02:49:56):
He was at his best friend's house. Uh, my dad
was a con tractor. If you think I have no filter,
you should have met my dad. He would tell anybody
anything on the planet that he did not carry, would
tell you, didn't matter if you were nine feet tall.
If he didn't like, he'd tell you exactly, which he's
no problem. And it probably said it moments before he died.

(02:50:20):
I get But he somebody said something to him and
he laughed.

Speaker 10 (02:50:24):
And again I'm secondhand hearing this stuff, so I don't
know exactly how it happened. But someone said something and
he said he made a joke alluding to like go
f yourself, and he reached forward.

Speaker 3 (02:50:36):
And just fell and that was it. Never woke crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:50:39):
Yeap Kim said her dad was accidentally and instantly killed
while working on his car in twenty eighteen.

Speaker 4 (02:50:48):
Gees, yesus.

Speaker 2 (02:50:50):
See again, I have those same dreams that Rob has,
and I feel so happy when I wake up.

Speaker 3 (02:50:54):
It's bad. It's bad, bad, bad, bad bad that that
happened to her dad.

Speaker 10 (02:50:58):
But I feel like when you for them, it's the
greatest thing in the world, right, Like that guy never
had a chance to go, oh man, I'm dying. Yeah,
you know, so like for I don't know, I just
I always think of that from my father. I'm like,
at least he didn't have to like sit there and
know he was dying. He didn't have to suffer, He
wasn't in pain. There was just dead, you know what
I mean. It's like one minute you're there, one minute

(02:51:19):
you're not.

Speaker 2 (02:51:21):
Really the end of the show in a high note.
Then wait, he really did. I'll tell you rich and Northfield.
I played that message from me text, he goes, Jesus Christ.
I didn't send that thing inna I didn't want you
guys getting all sad and reflective. I'm not sad in
the least. Actually it feels Listen this, guys, just so
you know, this is talk therapy for us. Too, just
so you know, we get this stuff out. It's good

(02:51:41):
to have these conversations. I talked to a therapist. But
now I can go back and say, hey, on the
show last week, I said something that really really changed
my thought on something. Yeah, have you been hou it's
work being going good. We're saying Monroe alot.

Speaker 20 (02:52:00):
And uh.

Speaker 3 (02:52:03):
We played like a we made our quota a David

Speaker 3 (02:52:09):
Are you somebody who misses your dad? Ross?

Speaker 2 (02:52:14):
Dad's still alive seven years old, no exciting, only making
noises at this point.

Speaker 3 (02:52:20):
How you doing, dad? Dave? What if you saw your
dad's ghost?

Speaker 2 (02:52:27):
What listen? Did your dad teach you.

Speaker 3 (02:52:29):
I live my life tomorrow? Because you never know when
there isn't date? No, that's right.

Speaker 2 (02:52:36):
Whoa do you and your dad have a special noise
or anything that would signal you know when some people
say when anytime I see a dime, that's my father,
isn't there's a bird talking to me?

Speaker 1 (02:52:53):
All?

Speaker 3 (02:52:55):
Oh there's a crow. No, still just a crow.

Speaker 2 (02:52:59):
I don't tell a better Emmanuel Lewis than Emmanuel class A.

Speaker 3 (02:53:03):
Oh man, that's a whole other thing we can talk
about this week on the show. Now, Guy's not a
class A act.

Speaker 2 (02:53:08):
You will Scio Nara right anyway, and the immoral words
of Rob's dad get bent.

double think, you'll vanish into the blue. Big Brother is
watching you.
