(01:42):
at the Cleveland Zoo of the Day yesterday and I
thought I saw you or no, there was just some kids.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Grandma.

Speaker 10 (01:48):
Listen, Rob, I gotta tell you, yes, I've grown my
hair up and it is largely gray. However, I think
most grammas have short hair. So I get what you're
trying to do. I'd say, swinging a miss.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:58):
There's a lot of long hair grandma's walking around, although
who knows. You know, we've talked about this. You know,
people's grandmothers. They don't look like the old lady from
the tweety Bird cartoons anymore, right, they don't have their
hair piled up on top of their head. You got
a lot of young grandma's out there.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Boy.

Speaker 10 (02:16):
People love banging kids having kids, and what you end
up with is, you know, grandparents in their early forties.
So there's a lot of We were talking on Friday,
the rise of the Guilf economy. You know older women, legit,
older women seventies, mid seventies, late sixties, early eighties, who
have turned to in their post retirement years. They have

(02:40):
turned to things like OnlyFans, right, So it's you don't
have to be a gray haired woman. Nevertheless, thank you
for thinking of me while you're there at the Cleveland Zoo.
Ps the Texter says, I your mom had a blast
as my date at the zoo. Rob Again, I couldn't
and don't I know, people coming hot they can't wait.
These are people they know I'm in here all through

(03:01):
the morning. They can't wait to start firing salvos off
at me with a double as soon as we get
on the air. Yeah, I wouldn't call it a double shot.
I'd say those things put together, you got three quarters
of one shot.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
But again, I understand what you're doing.

Speaker 10 (03:18):
Golly, I'll tell you what you will never see as
many white people downtown as when Nate Bargatzi is playing
the Rocket Arena.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
God bless him. You know, I think Nate is a very,
very funny guy.

Speaker 10 (03:29):
He was supposed to do this show in advance of
that appearance at Rocket Arena, and I was blown off.
But nevertheless, that does not diminish my appreciation for him
him as a very entertaining guy.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
He's having his moment.

Speaker 10 (03:44):
I'm still fascinated by the people who convince comedians to
write books, and they do because I think when you're
kind of having your moment and began Nate Bargotzi is
out some fly by night dude. I think a lot
of people who don't really some thought into it. They
think of these comedians as people that just kind of
popped up and started doing arenas, right, But these are

(04:06):
people who've been working for a long long time. And
Nate Bargotzi was kind of considered by other comedians for
a long time to be one of the funniest, most
organic kind of choke writers out there, and just his
style and whatever, and so now he's really having his moment,
and you couldn't be happier for him.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Because he's a nice guy.

Speaker 10 (04:21):
I don't know if he sold up those two nights,
but he was doing Friday and Saturday night at the
Rocket Arena.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
And so when we left here from work, I go,
the hell is going on downtown?

Speaker 10 (04:31):
Why does it look like the Home and Garden show
is taking up Prospect Avenue. But of course I forgot
Nate Bargatzi was in town. I had some friends that
went to the show and they had a fine time.
And again, he's a very funny guy. Now I was
down here last night to Park because Rob and I
had a little event who attended the rock Hole last

(04:53):
night that you might have heard of. But as I'm
parking down here last night, I'm like, what the hell
is going on? Is a very different demographic downtown And
it turns out that that Legends of Soul concert was
in town now, with respect, with all due respect Daghetty
Lee and Alex Lifsen, both of whom were at this
Q and A that Rob and I attended last night

(05:15):
over there the Rock Hall, the Queens of Soul?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 11 (05:18):
Rob?

Speaker 10 (05:19):
We could have been at the Rock and Arena listening
to the the orgasmic strains of one Shaka Khan. Rob,
we could have been seeing Gladys Knight Sons, the Pips.
I bet that there. I don't think there was a
Pip in sight, no at that show last night. And
I don't know who else is there, but those are

(05:40):
the more of it. There's Patty LaBelle and Stephanie Mills.
Those were the four ladies on a tour called the Queens.
They're like just legends, right, they defy Chaka Khan keeps
getting nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. I don't think she has made it yet, Right,
Chaka Khan keeps getting nominated but doesn't.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Doesn't get in. I don't think. I don't think she's
getting in this.

Speaker 10 (06:08):
This season, even though her name keeps coming up there
that one and so anyway.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Rob and I are at the Rock Hall last night. Beca.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
She was inducted twenty twenty three, was yeah, receiving the
Musical Excellence Award for her icon.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
They slipped her in.

Speaker 12 (06:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (06:25):
See, that's somebody who gets nominated. It's like Judas Priest.
They finally put them into like the Musical Legends category.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean, you're in, You're in. But I wonder if
there's any you know, is Rufus in. Rufus might be in.
I think she might be in a couple of times,
right with Rufus, and I don't know on her own.
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (06:47):
Anyway, So I'm parking here and I'm walking to the
Rock Hall because Rob and I are going to be
part of the very very small audience there in their theater.
And other than Rob and I, it seems to be
kind of a hoity toity crowd. Now I shouldn't say
hoity to These are people who are esteemed in the
halls of the rock hole, right, not inductees, but these

(07:07):
are like donors and right, like people trustees, that's what
it is. And so they're like, Oh, Alex Leifson and
Getty Lee from Rush, you're going to be doing a
Q and A and we'd love for you guys to
be there. Right, Rob's got some friends associated with Rush,
and of course we're at WMMS, which is pretty much
stitched onto the history of Rush here in the United States.

(07:31):
And Don Halper was there, got the chance to catch
up with her because she's been in the show a
couple of times over the years, and she was famously
the music director here at WMMS in the early seventies
and she was the person responsible for breaking Rush in
the United States. And so that's why they always have
a lot of affinity for Cleveland, and they always come

(07:51):
here and do these shows.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
And so, you know, it was this Q and A.

Speaker 10 (07:55):
They have a guy from the Washington Post who I
guess his friends with them, and they're like, oh, we
want to talk about blah blah blah. And so it
was a very small group of people and at the end,
when they're reading listener questions that have been written down
on cards. Invariably, somebody goes, are you guys that were
going to tour again? And they look at each other
and you knew it was coming. They were very good

(08:15):
at kind of going through the motions as though that
hadn't been the point of the whole event right there.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, golly, I never thought that.

Speaker 10 (08:22):
And Alex Lesson is a very funny guy, and he's
bone dry with his timing and his humor and whatever.
And so then at the end of it, of course
everybody goes nuts because they go, yes, we are, well,
we're going to do some dates.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
These are these guys are you know? Their early seventies?

Speaker 10 (08:37):
And I until he said it, I didn't realize that
they hadn't toured in ten years. I didn't realize that
that final tour with Neil Pearott was ten years ago,
twenty fifteen, and they announced that they were going to
do a series of shows next summer. They're doing seven cities,
one of which is Cleveland. I think Cleveland and Mexico

(08:57):
City are the only two cities where they're all doing
one night. All of the other cities they're doing two nights,
So they'll do hometown shows in Toronto and they'll do
la I think they're doing a couple of nights at
the United Center in Chicago, and so everybody was very excited.
It was cool to be there. By the way, Robin
I sitting there hand in hand of course. Yes, that's
how we sit together in the third row there. And

(09:20):
it was a very interesting evening, very interesting, and so
very cool to have those guys say yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
And there's a little bit of backstory.

Speaker 10 (09:29):
The question inevitably has asked, well, who will drum and
place of Neil Peart and the press release for this
whole thing you had to go way far down to
see who was going to be behind the drums. But
it's a girl named Anaka Niles who is a I
don't have to tell you if she's a phenomenal drummer.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
If the guys in Rush go, yes, she's the one.

Speaker 10 (09:47):
But if you have followed her on social media or
if you are familiar with her, she's German and she's
just dynamite. She is a name that's very very well known.
So she's a drum for Jeff Beck before he passed away.
He's been dead for a few years now, but I
think she was his touring drummer, and if you follow
her on social media, I mean I don't have to

(10:07):
sell you on how good she is. And so the
announcement was made last night that they were going to
be doing a handful of dates. The very last shows
they did with were at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles,
and so I guess that's why they're starting there in
LA to do those shows next summer.

Speaker 11 (10:27):
Can I do?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I need to go now and get the tickets when
you say next summer, you have dates?

Speaker 13 (10:34):
Right, Yeah, We're going to do a limited number of
dates in about what seven cities and.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
See how that goes, and starting in June of twenty
twenty six.

Speaker 13 (10:48):
And so you guys are all part of a kind
of stealthy announcement what he's going to do?

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Well you play ven, Oh, they'll play yeah, Babors. Yeah
that was pretty cool, man, I've done all that. We
are in an audience. Oh, I didn't even see when
they cut away to the crowd.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Oh can you see us? Yeah? Oh, I didn't even
realize here, hold on when they cut to the crowd. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
But I've done a lot of fun stuff in my career.
This was towards the top.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
You're gonna see how some on the left they're left
very unsafe. Oh yeah, he's you and me.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
Hey, Granny long Hair and Daddy ball Cap. Hey back
together again for the first time.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, that was great. It was very it was it
was It was a very cool event.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
I mean it's rock royalty man and you're sitting ten
feet from them listening to them tell stories. I mean
they you know, this is seventeen minute version that they
released online, but the majority of they did like a
two hour talk.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
It was yeah, awesome, Yeah, it's cool. Okay.

Speaker 10 (11:55):
So the bottom line is WMMS will have tickets for you.
It's called the fifty something Tour. They'll do one at
in Cleveland, one of only seven cities they're going to perform.
It's going to be September seventeenth at the Rocket Arena.
And they said that they have about thirty five songs
they're going to relearn, and they're going to rotate the
set lists throughout that thirty five song thing and just

(12:16):
go out and have fun. And they mentioned by name
that they had gotten the blessing of Newopert's widow and daughter.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Of course too.

Speaker 10 (12:23):
Everybody was there and so the Cleveland show September seventeenth,
the tickets go on go to WMS dot com because
the details will all be there. I'll probably have tickets
to give you at some point, but it should be
a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yeah, right now, it's the Instagram post. That's Instagram. The
only way you can win tickets right now is just
like that Instagram post. Share it if you want help
your chances of winning. But that's they get the band like.
It's like a no comp tour and the band gave
us five pair anyway, so we're going to start with
the first pair here on Instagram and work on some
other stuff to come.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
They will go on sale to everyone on October seventeenth,
Allen Car Show.

Speaker 8 (13:01):
On one hundred points of the Allen Car Show, Allen.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
It says here that you call yourself one of the
few gay goat farmers in the great state of Tennessee.

Speaker 8 (13:15):
On one hundred point seven WMMS.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Rob You ever heard this song before? It's really good.
I'm not familiar, should check it out. Who's playing.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
This is a young man named Edvard van Hollen from
Denmark or Holland or something right.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Young man Eddie van Halen.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
Oh, five years ago today, this young man passed away
round so Sid October sixth, twenty twenty. I think that's
the correct math. Sixty five years old. What did Eddie
die from?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Lung cancer?

Speaker 10 (14:14):
Yeah, body, just cancer in general, cancer in general. They
just got him take an answer, all kinds of stuff. Yeah,
did he get it the way Michael Douglas got it?

Speaker 5 (14:24):
No? Oh, heavy smoker, right, he keep a button the
frats right in the neck of the guitar.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
You see all the burns in Frankenstein.

Speaker 11 (14:32):
That old move.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, Eddie van Halen.

Speaker 10 (14:36):
So I'm gonna play a lot of van Halen today,
coming back because I love edievan Halen. In that first
van Halen album was instrumental in my musical and personal
evolution Rob as a young young man, Dave, are you
still mourning?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Eddie van Halenam.

Speaker 10 (14:56):
Match comes as no shock to anyone. Some mature a
little bit, though, is another thousand dollars for you? So
keywords coming about thirty past the hour today, five thirty
of your last one, but I'll have three of them
for you before that. So the next one here in
about five minutes or so. Yeah, eddieven, I guess I

(15:16):
because I have no concept of time anymore. I knew
that October sixth was the day of Eddie van Halen's death.
I couldn't remember what year, and so I had to
google it and it was five years. And then I go,
well did I think it was? Because when I don't
know something, then I have to revert to, well, did
I think it was longer? Did I think it was shorter?

Speaker 11 (15:36):
Right?

Speaker 10 (15:37):
And I think I thought it was shorter. I don't
think I thought it was five years. Now again, five
years can go in the blink of an eye. It's
not a long time, right, he was smart, right, We
weren't even a year in a COVID yet. Eddie van
Halen got out with a get was good. But he
died of a stroke. You know, he was in his
last hours, and so his family is with him, his

(15:59):
wife and Albert now of course his ex wife, and
his baby mama, and Alex van Halen was there as well.
Our buddy Wolfgang van Halen is coming back to do
that show with his band Mammoth. We did a thing
with them last May at the Foundry. It was a
lot of fun. But he's coming back the eighteenth of
October he will play the Agora, and so that's not

(16:20):
that far off. If today is October the sixth, Rob,
then November eighteenth, and I'm going to figure this out
without looking at my calendar.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Okay, so today is October the sixth, and I'm using
your calculator, right, I'm just throwing things around. Well, let's
see the sixth.

Speaker 14 (16:43):
What was the date, November eighteenth, eighteen, So that's twelve, right, twelve, No,
his thirties, forty two right, I'm just thinking of week man.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
That's how many seven the seven and forty two is.

Speaker 10 (17:00):
Six six six weeks see, and one day, Rob is
when wolf You van Halen and Mammoth will be over
there at the world famous Cleveland Agora.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I went the long way about it, but I got there.
I got there.

Speaker 10 (17:14):
Yeah, Yeah, that's true. It's also my little nephew's birthday
that day too, and he'll be turning.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Seven.

Speaker 10 (17:24):
I wonder if you'd like tickets to see Wolfe van
Halen at the Agora for his seventh birthday.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
I wonder if that'd be exciting. Well, give him station tickets,
make him sit up in the rafters.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
Hey, you're gonna get a You're gonna get tickets for
a show in a I guess he has been here.
I was gonna see a city you've never been for
an artist that you're not familiar with. But that's the
best way to learn about somebody new that you like, Right,
Who was the you gotta cast your mind back to,
like the first band that you turn yourself onto, because

(17:54):
most people learn about music that's what their parents listen to,
or it's what an older sibling listen to. I didn't
have older siblings, and I certainly wasn't going to be
anyone's musical mentor. But everybody kind of you know, invariably
you'll stumble onto a band yourself. Now, the algorithm will
just feed your bands that you might like. Right, But

(18:15):
back in the day, you really had to go and
you had to look around, and you had to a
lot of times your choosing.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know what I did.

Speaker 10 (18:23):
I was choosing bands at random based on the album
cover or the CD cover. I'd be like, you know what,
if the music inside is half as good as what
they've put into this album cover, maybe it'll be something there. Now,
eight times out of ten, nothing they blew their wad
on the cover art and the music inside was, you know,
less than compelling, but you know that's how you find things.

Speaker 11 (18:49):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
I was handed the first van Halen album to me
by my mom said listen to this.

Speaker 10 (18:54):
Whereas van Halen got into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in two thousand and seven, the Rush thing
were at Last Night with Geddy Lee and Alex Lis
and they introed the whole thing by showing them their
induction into the Rock Hall twenty thirteen day have Groland
Taylor Hawkins induct them and then they get up and play.

(19:15):
I think that's a year it was in la but
it was, you know, the last handful of years of
the Rock Hall. That to me is the biggest of
the induction ceremony. Rather, what I miss is when everybody
would get up on stage and play, because increasingly a
lot of bands are like I just want to I
just wanted to say the table and drink and have fun,
and so it's it's less frequent that they get up

(19:38):
in the play.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
But Rush when they got inducted, they did a couple
of songs and here in Alex tell the story of
how he came up with the blah blah blah thing.
Was really funny.

Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
When he did his induction speech, if you remember Getty
victorious induction speech and Neil both had stuff to say,
and then he just got up and said blah for
like four minutes, and you could see Neil and Geddy
get and they weren't prepared.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, and he said they weren't prepared for that. He
hadn't clued them in that he was going to do that.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
He thought about it, he said, well, he was in
the car, yeah, and then he leaned over next to
his wife and said, yeah, I'm going to just say blah.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
And she's like, what do you want to prove that
you're the a hole everyone thinks you are. He's like, yes, oh,
it was great.

Speaker 12 (20:15):
It was he was.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
He's such a funny dude.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
And they're both just so amazingly Canadian, you know what
I mean, so kind and nice, and that was that
was awesome.

Speaker 10 (20:26):
Anybody remember speaking of those guys. I never hear anybody
talk about Victor. You remember Victor. Alex Lifson put out
a solo album called Victor in nineteen ninety six and
it was a one off, and I don't know if
the band was called that or what it was, but
you know, Rush was still doing stuff, but the guys
were off, kind of, you know, putting their feelers out.

(20:50):
And they released a single from it, and I don't
know if you remember Victor. The single was called Promise.
You remember that at all?

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't. I played it when I was on the
air at Rocks in Kalns in Michigan.

Speaker 10 (21:02):
I don't remember who played on the album, but it
was I think him singing maybe. Now, obviously you'll notice
it sounds a lot like Rush, but I mean, you know,
when you have a lane and it's a good lane.

(21:29):
I would tell people to find the Alex Lifson Victor record.
I'm sure there are some Rush Nerds who are only
too familiar with that album, but it was pretty good.
Nineteen ninety six is when they came out. If you
listen on iHeartRadio, you can easily leave us messages there
with that red talkbag button.

Speaker 15 (21:47):
Hy Allan Hi.

Speaker 16 (21:48):
Rob Megan from Grafton here, Rob, I totally agree what
the whole bands should change their names, certain bands with
the whole income Park thing. I saw them at Sonic
Temple this year and I cried and was angry the
whole stinking time, because that's not Chester that's it was
just no, you're not.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Lincoln Park anymore. You're somebody else. Emily's great, but you're
not Lincoln Park anymore. So I totally understand the STP thing.

Speaker 16 (22:12):
So thanks, have a great day, Love.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
You, yes mine, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 (22:19):
We were talking about sone Temple pilots being added to
Sonic Temple and you took quite a bit of umbrage
with that. Last year Lincoln Park played Sonic Temple yep,
and they were rolling out to Emily what's her name
fronting that band, and people are very much like Megan
Aaron Grafton. She's on board with you. Like when you
change somebody out change the name of the band. I

(22:40):
don't understand that. I mean Van Halen didn't do that.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
It's different circumstances. So why death, But why it wasn't
a death it was the band listen. I was completely
updavidly Roth had died, they would have had to change
the band named after them. But it's well, that's that's
the point. It's a named after them. It's not the
same thing. And someone died. If it was called the

(23:04):
David Lee Roth band, well if it was called what
I'm saying is Van Halen. But what I'm saying is
to yours and Meghan's point. What I'm saying is bed
gives the front man.

Speaker 10 (23:17):
And I know that the singer of a band is
the one who gets the most attention because they're the
most They're running around and they're they're they're one creating
the emotional resonance for people and they're singing. So with
that they carry an outsized influence in the band. Well,
why would you change the name of a band because
one guy died?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I think it depends on the band.

Speaker 10 (23:35):
I mean, all those other people were also Lincoln Park Queen,
mister Bennington died.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I don't see why they changed their name to Lincoln Park.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
Queen from Stop, Freddie Mercury died, Queen Stopped, John Bonham
died led Zeppelin stopped. Now that they were four equal
parts in that band, right, I think when that happens,
there's a certain level of respect you pay to that
person and end it. Now, when someone leaves and you
replace them, that's completely different, Van Halen, completely different story.

(24:03):
If you want to reinvent yourself with somebody else because
things didn't work out, completely different.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
So a death requires you to change the things.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
I don't say anything requires it, It's just it's my
opinion that, Yeah, I think it should end.

Speaker 12 (24:15):
Now.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Look, I watched Corey, who is the biggest Lincoln Park
fan on the planet, Corey Roddick. I watched him embrace
Emily into his favorite band. So I could be completely wrong, right,
maybe I am, but it just feels like to me
in certain cases, and I already I've heard from people
Chester was already in STP. But I get it, but

(24:38):
the band was still.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
His band.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
I forget until you say that, And we did talk
about it on Friday, but I still forget that Chester
was with STP for a minute.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, those two bands are linked by him.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
There was like one single that he has and look,
I think they did like ten Cities or something, you know,
and it.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Was fine, but he was still living as soon as
he died. Okay, STP done.

Speaker 10 (25:04):
In my In my opinion, I guess my brain goes to,
why should one person have such an outsized influence.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Because when that one person is the band?

Speaker 11 (25:12):
Right, this.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
Is what I'm saying though, all those other guys in
Lincoln Park founded Lincoln Park with Chester Benning, but no
one cared about them. Well, No one cares about Mike Shinoda.
The guy tried four years to have a career after
Lincoln Park.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
I know it failed miserably.

Speaker 10 (25:39):
That guy didn't mind Mike Shinoda loves Mike Shanoda. Very
talented dude. Yeah, he tried with Fort Minor and and
then his.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
Own thing, and he kept releasing they were just like
they were like bad nine Inch Nails songs that sounded
like Lincoln Park kind of.

Speaker 12 (25:52):
It just was.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
It was nothing the DJ mister Hans spinning stuff.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
For me, it's like, you know, you name those other guys,
and plus I think that band was put together, weren't they.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I have no idea. I think that was one of
those Like I thought they were friends who started a band.
I don't think so. I'm not sure.

Speaker 10 (26:09):
Yeah, but again it's not it's my It's just my opinion.
It's not like no, I understand. I just like to
know where people are coming from. Joy Division change their
name Allen, Yeah, how.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
About that boy? Okay, see the other guys. You're Peter Hook,
You're what's his name?

Speaker 10 (26:25):
Ian Curtis is a guy who killed himself, and Joy
Division there and the other guys would continue as New
Order one of my favorite bands of all time. By
the way, New Order didn't really care for Joy Division
that much, but love New Order. But uh Ian Curtis
hangs himself the night before they're going to start their
tour of the United States, Right, these guys are like,
finally we're gonna break into the States.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
It's tap into America. You know, it's Werner.

Speaker 10 (26:51):
Eaton hoog Is over there, you know, giving them their
Ata boys. So yeah, okay, Joy Division ACDC is the
one pass, says cotton Ball. Why is that they weren't
going to change their name. They're like, we are a CDC.
Bond Scott, great guy, but we are still a CDC.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
And how far the young brothers in this band and
how far into that band were they when Bond died?
I mean, Brian's been with the band much longer at
this point, right, So I don't I don't know what
the difference was. You know, maybe with what I said,
that would be the same thing. You know, it's a
band I hadn't thought of, I.

Speaker 10 (27:23):
Guess because somebody else Pantera is a great kind of
modern version.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Of this and probably shouldn't be called Pantera. Well, but
they even say it's largely a tribute to Pantera. I
mean call it that.

Speaker 10 (27:37):
Well, Rex Brown is still in the band and Philanselmo,
the frontman, is still alive in the rhythm section.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
So Pantera.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
Yeah, Soundgarden without Chris would be sacrilegious. Someone said, right,
it would be different. I mean Soundgarden, Yeah, I guess yeah,
because you do so closely associate the singer with the
band and you know, but but yeah, I don't know.
I got to give it up to the other guys
in the band. So the question everybody's asking the horse

(28:06):
Robin and I don't know if the logic is analogous,
but Alan, so if Rob were to die, would you have.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
To change the name of the show?

Speaker 10 (28:13):
My name isn't on the Marquis well, right, it's not
in there, and you know it's this show's been a
revolving door for sixteen years. But if you the name
of the goddamn show every time, I'm the only constant.
But if you drop dead tomorrow, am I gonna come
on the air with the Allan Cox Show? Yes, featuring Rob.
You're gonna do the Bob and Tom what's his name?

Speaker 11 (28:31):
Though?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
The one guy leaves and they still call it Bob
and Tom.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
The kid Cratick Show. There you go, guy passed away,
and they're still calling it that. All of his co
hosts are under the umbrella of the kid Craticks Show. Hi,
it's the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
My name is Rob.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Allen's dead, but we're gonna go ahead and carry this
thing on for the next eight years.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yep. You'd have about twenty four hours of morning and
then people would be like, when you get a good
somebody else in there, Rob, Yeah, can you quit?

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Two?

Speaker 2 (28:56):
This show sucks without him? Uh huh, Why don't you
just book? Why don't you jump in after him? They
don't give to That would be instant. Yeah, shame. We
couldn't have gotten a two for.

Speaker 5 (29:09):

Speaker 7 (29:52):
Sep Rob.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
How about those Toronto Blue days.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I mean it was a football score man.

Speaker 5 (30:02):
They are the only one of my teams that are
still in it nine to nothing over those.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yankees of yours. How do you feel, Yankee? That your Yankee?
My Yankees. You're a Yankee fan. No, I'm nuts. You're
not a Red Sox fan. No, you're a Yankee. I
not a Yankee fan. I thought you said you were
a Yankee fan. Oh, sir, I was. I was a
three year Yankee fan. I gave up as soon as
that a Rod deal happened. Well, then you are a

(30:28):
Yankee fan more than you were. Not a Yankee.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
That is true, But I am now. I didn't watch
baseball for years. I'm I root for the local team.
I'm a Guardians fan now. I didn't care about baseball
for a very long time. I'm just listen. I'm just saying, man,
I gave up on that team years ago. I'm hanging
on to the Blue Jays like grim death. It was
all my other teams. A White Sox stink. Guardians are awesome,

(30:53):
but they didn't get it across the line. The Pirates
are my National League team. They stink too. I got
the Blue Jays that's all I got left. It was
thirteen to seven yesterday. I was wearing my Blue Jays
cap all weekend long. Yeah, what a gorgeous swing. Vlad
Guerrero Junior.

Speaker 10 (31:11):
Of course he might recall his guy who went by
his dad rather Vlad Guerrero Senior, who, well, who did
he play for the Expos? They both played for Canadian teams.
Dad played for the Expos, I think back in the day. Also,
don't sleep on Wilton Guerrero, right, that was Vlad Senior's brother. Oh,
there's a big, big lot of talent in that family.

(31:33):
But Vlad the Impaler there. I was thinking Vlad Guerrero
Senior had been in Cleveland for a bit, but I
think I might be misremembering that. I don't know that
he was ever here, but I think he was playing
for the Expos back in like the Andre Dawson days
and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
I mean, they scored twenty three runs in two games. Yeah,
that is that is an incredible offense. I was watching
that game and I'm like, how can they keep doing this?
How many more runs can you score? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (31:58):
I think they were gonna mercy rule the Yankees. Thirteen
to seven was the final and Toronto's up to nothing.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
In the series.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
I just love watching big poppy Troll, Derek Jeeter and
a Rod because they're all on that panel together and
they're doing the the NLDS. So as soon as the
score comes in, see David Ortiz and he's like, junkies lose,
Junkys lose, and ynkeys junkies lose.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Oh it's so funny.

Speaker 10 (32:28):
Yeah, well, anyway, I'm I'm pinning my hopes on the
Toronto Blue Jays and they asked Getty Lee about it
last night the Rock holl Yeah that thing, and they
were announcing they were gonna go back on tour and
the guy who was doing the Q and A was
some friend of theirs who's an arts critic or something, right,
for his voice sounded very familiar to me, so I
wondered if he if I had heard him on the
radio somewhere.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Podcast I think it is post.

Speaker 10 (32:50):
Yeah, I don't listen to those, but I just I
don't know if maybe he had been on NPR before
something like.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (32:56):
I was familiar with the guy by name, and then
his voice on a really familiar but he was friends
enough with them where they he came in to do
this Q and A, and he asked him about the
Blue Jays, their hometown team. Yeah, they were a little
kind of sheepish about it. He's like, Noah, I hope
they Woulin.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
What do you want?

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Yeah, he was there the night before. Yeah, he was
at the game with his grandson.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah. And then he flew in for this and he's like, yeah,
my son's at the game now with my grandson.

Speaker 10 (33:18):
A game, so I can sit here in Cleveland with
you guys, yeah and tell you we're going back on tour.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Alan. Does Rob know that Lincoln Park was already a
band before Chester joined.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Yes, that's what I just said. They were put together. Yeah,
so thank you sir. Well, no, no, no, they were
like a bunch of high school friends.

Speaker 11 (33:34):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Chester, though, was not their first singer. I think it
is this person's point. And again it just goes back
to listen.

Speaker 10 (33:41):
There's a tons of There are a ton of bands
who didn't blow up with their original singer. You don't
know who that person is. So I understand the perspective
of this person is this band, they don't have to
be a founding member. I mean, listen, Rob Worden was
their drummer, right found drummer link Park. When they said, hey,
we're thinking about putting the band back together, he said, no,
thanks you. He's not the guy playing the drums on

(34:01):
Lincoln Park's tour. Now, this guy said no, thank you,
So I guess he made his money and was like,
I don't think I don't think that we should be
Lincoln Park without Chester. So you know, they lost one
of the guys from their own band over it. But yeah,
there's a lot you know Paul Deano famously the first
front man for Iron Maiden. Yeah, they did a couple

(34:23):
of albums with him, but they exploded with Bruce Dickinson.
Sometimes it could be timing, sometimes it can be other things.
So I'm not saying it necessarily has to be a
founding member, but I don't know. They were called zero
before they met Chester Bennington x e Er, which is
a terrible name. Now again, Lincoln Park not a great

(34:43):
name either, but it's better than zero. Coming up with
your name because you're gonna have to stick with it
one of the most difficult things you can do. That's
why I keep my freebie list of band names rob
for people who might be practicing in their garag something
you know, and they can't maybe come up with things

(35:04):
on their own.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
I always keep a list.

Speaker 11 (35:06):
I don't know where that list is.

Speaker 10 (35:08):
Nevertheless, doesn't matter. It's probably gone with the last software update.
But who cares? Right if they're we I've got them. No,
I've got them. Yeah, and they're not all great, right.
I could throw out a handful of them, and some
of them you'd go okay, and other ones you'd say terrible.

(35:28):
Two of Feces is my band name for my death
metal side project. I also have kind of a craft
work inspired band called Stinkin'hosen and that's just me. That's
me and creating some beats and loops but sexist trousers.
I haven't had anybody take that one yet, but it's
certainly there for you. Crouch stigmata, what you want to

(35:48):
with that, Okay, feeble penis. It's not for everybody, Sleepy Wiener.
Sure all these are not necessarily genitalia influenced, but you know,
sometimes things just hitch sphincter.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Tizzy is that one that you'd want?

Speaker 10 (36:02):
You know, depending and mind you, these band names are
fully agnostic with respect to the genre that you play.
You could be a ska punk band and call yourself
wick and Pickle, and nobody would think twice booty tinkle
like that crisc fist, Oh Sandusky Bologna attack.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
That's for some of you who.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
Want to keep like a local flavor to your band name.
Thank you, Cleveland, We're Bevy of Queens. Hello, we are
anonymous Melons. Terrorist coat drive are you timing? Couldn't be
better for that racist paint Force Meat.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I like that one.

Speaker 10 (36:48):
Force Meat's pretty good. Olympic toothpaste bomb, Harvey Porter and
the Odor of the penis. Listen, sometimes I just jot
things down, Rob. They're they're not all there, you know,
they're They're not all Vlad Guerrero Home Runs, Audi Anus,
Oh boy, Ham cancer?

Speaker 2 (37:10):
How do you feel about Ham cancer?

Speaker 12 (37:11):
Now?

Speaker 10 (37:12):
Listen, that's going to be controversial on two fronts. Right,
you don't want it to be anti semitic, but also
you don't want it to be insensitive to people who
have cancer.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Right, poop laser do any thing for you?

Speaker 10 (37:28):
Cheatahqueef poop swasika um not pervy froth not do anything
for you?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
All right, Again, these are all free.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
So pervy Froth is a it's a very descriptive band name,
very very descriptive band name.

Speaker 10 (37:46):
The bed Razors. About that one r A Z R S,
Sushi Bazooka, nothing, progi coma. I like Sushi Bizuka, savory Finger.
Also like clam damp Murkin.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Oh pretty good? How about that? Pretty deep? Pretty deep good?

Speaker 11 (38:07):
All right?

Speaker 10 (38:07):
Anyway, they're freebies. Do with them whatever you wish. Battle Apple.
That's a little Seay Dan Easter Egg for you. But yeah, okay,
so yeah, Geddy Lee and Alex Lesson at this thing
last night, we're talking about how they had this woman
named Enika Niles, who, by the way, is like early forties,

(38:28):
so she's not some kid they picked up off the
street who was like blown up on TikTok. She's real good,
she says, toured with people.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
She was.

Speaker 10 (38:34):
Jeff Beck's a touring drummer for a long time, and
I followed her for a long time in social media.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
She's just dynamite German.

Speaker 10 (38:41):
And so they he was kind of describing last night
where they just did some initial He's like, it wasn't
even an audition because we weren't of the mind that
we were putting something together, but we had been turned
on to her, and we flew her up to Canada
very very quietly and kind of jammed for a little while,
and came to the conclusion that she would be, you know,

(39:02):
a good fit, but that there was a pretty hefty
learning curve because he's like, anybody can play those notes,
anybody could learn to play the neil Pert notes. He's like,
but there's a vibe and a rhythm there. Obviously that
comes from forty plus years of working together, you know,
as a unit. But if they're confident in her, I mean,

(39:23):
her abilities alone are not in question, so obviously their
only concern would be like, is this going to be
a good fit. I think it's going to be awesome.
I think it's going to be amazing to see those
guys with someone else behind the drums. And I bet
they will come to the conclusion even though they're in
their early seventies and they're like, look, we're doing twelve
dates in seven cities, all right, We're not.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
This is not some world tour.

Speaker 10 (39:46):
But obviously based on how they feel, because Alex Liifson
had been sick, right, he had cancer or something for
a while. Yeah, he had a few things going on, yeah, yeah,
And so he's been on the mend for a while.
But yeah, so September seventeenth is when they'll play the
Rocket Arena here in Cleveland, and they'll do hometown shows
in Toronto. They play Chicago, Mexico City in LA But

(40:08):
that's about it. So, you know, they they kind of
verbally left the door open to see how they feel
at the end of those dates if they want to
keep going. But they were pretty clear that like, this
is not a this is not a reformation of a Rush,
you know what I mean. It's more of a tribute
homage to Neil Pert, because even even before he died,

(40:28):
obviously he wanted to stop touring. And the other two guys,
by their own admission, we're like, we felt like maybe
we had a little bit more gas in the tank.
Alan If Limp Biscuit came back without Fred, what a
great example.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Oh golly, what are we gonna do? We lost our
legendary front man, Fred Durst. How could we ever replace.

Speaker 10 (40:47):
That guy with someone with such an amazing ability to
turn a phrase?

Speaker 2 (40:54):
We can call the band who cares?

Speaker 10 (40:57):
Hey, listen, you've lived long enough to see Limp Biscuit
come back. As a nostalgia act. Yeah, you know the
meme about hey want to feel old, That is the
one that always hits me. Is I'm kind of like, wow,
Limp Biscuit, Like the kids are looking at Limp Biscuit
now going uh interesting.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Hmm. You guys are into this.

Speaker 10 (41:15):
Yeah, and it is enough, you know, jump up and
down and giin toilet on stage, a little something for everybody.
I appreciate bands that stay stunted in their emotional availability.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
And of course the Coral Reefer Band, you know, they
were just here rob opening for the Doobie Brothers. Those guys.

Speaker 10 (41:34):
That's not a band that is going to change their name,
because all they got to do is cut his name
off of it. It was Jimmy Buffett and the Coral
Reefer Band. And then those guys go up because listen,
he's dead, but they weren't making his money. They're gonna
make their own. They got mortgages. So why wouldn't you
go out? I bet well, no, I was gonna says

(41:57):
you didn't like the music. It had less to do
with him, you know the music. If you had gone
and there was no James Buffett, you might have maybe
enjoyed it. But that's probably not true at all. What
about this Mark Sanchez thing?

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 10 (42:09):
I was like that because the initial story with Mark
Sanchez getting stabbed.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
Was that.

Speaker 10 (42:16):
The initial story made it sound like somebody had like
come out of an alley and jumped him. Well, now
it sounds like he went into an alley drunk, and
I guess they got him on camera or CCTV something
on that he went into an alley and he was drunk,
and he's yelling at a guy who was parking a

(42:36):
truck or unloading a truck or something. The sixty nine
year old dude nice nice in an alley who was like,
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Know who this dude was.

Speaker 10 (42:45):
He's screaming at me and he's trying to get in
my truck. He stabbed him a bunch of times, like
in the Torso. But yeah, I mean, look, so now
that Mark Sanchez looking at felonies. This is in Indianapolis.
You know they're looking at like like felony charges against him. Yeah,
the guy doesn't know who this guy is. Some drunk
dudes getting into his truck. Yeah, it freaks out. Sixty

(43:07):
nine years old trying to unload his truck and do
his job. Oh bartender right next door is bartender who
brought Mark Sanchez in in Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
He's like, I didn't know he was either.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
If you were to look at Mark Sanchez, would you go,
oh my god, it's Mark Sanchez. I mean he looks
like fifty other guys. I mean I would guess even
a Patriot punchline forever. Oh okay, but most people have
no idea who he is.

Speaker 10 (43:31):
Like, I know who Mark Sanchez is, but I bet
if I saw him, I wouldn't go, oh, that's Mark Sanchez.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
No way. What was his what did he get?

Speaker 5 (43:43):
Like?

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Not controversy? What was he?

Speaker 5 (43:47):
Was he busen or what's that? The butt fumble was
like his most recognized thing ever?

Speaker 7 (43:51):
Is that what it was?

Speaker 10 (43:52):
I thought he was like banging a teammate's wife or something.
I thought there was something more salacious than that, but
maybe not. He was like juice and though too right,
didn't they scoop him up on like Mark Sanchez back?

Speaker 5 (44:01):
I think I think maybe there was something, but that's
all I remember, because again because of the punch line with.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Him, and he was bouncing around the league too.

Speaker 5 (44:07):
He fumbled off the butt it was it was maybe
it was like the funniest They still say it's one
of the worst plays in NFL history.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah, and it happened with the Jets, and I love
it because to this day I hate the Jets.

Speaker 10 (44:19):
Yeah, well listen he uh yeah, he got drunk, came
out of a bar and went in and started talking
mess to somebody else.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
But again that initial story, it sounded like a robbery.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
And so.

Speaker 10 (44:31):
And obviously there there are certain people who are going
to jump right on a story like that.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Indianapolis is and it's a war zone.

Speaker 10 (44:40):
Okay, But Mark Sanchez is charged with a felony over
the stabbing incident because he punched the guy, like the
guy had your cuts on him, public intox unlawful entry
of a motor vehicle. This is just a guy like

(45:01):
in a truck in an alley picking up part of
his job is picking up used friar oil. Yeah, at
a hotel and Mark Sanchez walks up. They got him
on camera. I don't know if there was sound on it,
but it looked like it was an argument that obviously
became physical.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
Yeah, I guess he had pepper spray and then it
was a knife like there was all kinds of stuff
that happened.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
It was just a complete mess. Mark Sanchez have been
yelling at this guy in an alley, just being drunk.

Speaker 5 (45:30):
He said something like I talked to the people at
the hotel and you're not supposed to be here, like
he was playing cop, like he was being like a hardo.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Uh well, he's being charged with battery.

Speaker 10 (45:41):
Good and so this guy who I mean, listen, judging
on what they made it sound like his condition, I
thought the guy might die. They were like, oh he
this bartender called nine to one one. But Mark Sanchez
had like multiple stab wounds to his chest. I'm like,
there aren't too many places you can go in the
chest and be okay if you have multiple stab wounds.

(46:05):
Of course, these days, you're considered stabbed. If somebody like
breaks your skin with a fork, right, that's considered being stabbed.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
What They had him in pretty bad shape in the hospital.

Speaker 5 (46:15):
Yeah, as soon as they started saying it was all
self defense, you knew this was gonna be bad for him.
It all went instantly from like, yeah, like you said, robbery, robbery,
bad stuff happens to Mark Sanchez too.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Mark Sanchez stabbed in self defense. I'm like, oh yeah,
that's not good. I feared for my life.

Speaker 10 (46:31):
Yeah, this drunk dude came down a dark alley by
my truck, try to get in the truck.

Speaker 5 (46:37):
Yeah, he grabbed him and like threw him into a dumpster.
Like just just it's an old man, I get it.
You're drunk, staff leave him alone. Yeah, maybe he's got
some of that CTE issue too.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
I bet that he does. A lot of those dudes
do man brains are mush?

Speaker 10 (46:57):
Are there any in the ass? I meant it wasn't
his butt, right, it was something. No, he he tucked
the ball and he ran into his ligneman's asses. Yeah, yeah,
all right, and then the Patriots picked it up and
returned for a touchdown.

Speaker 11 (47:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:10):
That was the the og play, the butt fumble, but fumble.
So that's what Mark Sanchez is known for? Well with me, yeah,
I would assume a lot of people that's what he's on.
I think he's a commentator on Fox. Isn't he something
like that?

Speaker 9 (47:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Or he was? I don't know, but I know that
if he is currently that's going to be an issue.

Speaker 10 (47:29):
It would suck though, if you were primarily known for
an f up in sports.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Like if you're Bill Buckner.

Speaker 10 (47:36):
Right, Bill Buckner in nineteen eighty six, that's when the
World Series ball went between his legs. Like your name
becomes synonymous, that doesn't go away, especially in sports where
people hang on to stuff like it's going to murder
them if they don't.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
And I mean it was when your name is synonymous
with something like that. And the worst part is that
it wasn't his fault. The Red Sox collapsed as well
around it. I mean, listen, it was his fault that
he booted that ball fieldinger. Yeah, but there was still
plenty again, there was lots that had to happen, uh,
in order for and all was forgiven when the Red

(48:11):
Sox finally won the World Series. For the most part,
people kind of embraced Bill Buckner again. But yeah they
hate him.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
He's like, g thanks, he had to leave.

Speaker 10 (48:19):
Like they were like were throwing Yeah, people are throwing
batteries at my head on the street. But all of
a sudden, all's forgiven. Oh great, thanks, I'd have to
move four times.

Speaker 5 (48:27):
They're like, welcome back Bill Buckner to Fenway Park. I'm like,
you got killed. Woun't no? Hell no, you can all
eat my ass?

Speaker 2 (48:35):
How about that?

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Right, ladies, gentlemen, Bill Buckner, hold on, I'm gonna set
this up for you.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Okay, oh hold on, wait, hold on, play as welcome.
But I take it's like world serious Red Sox, Bill.

Speaker 15 (48:59):
But Bill give over Bill Butner, Bill Butner always forgiven by.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Yeah, I would not have shown up at all. And
he died. I think he died like ten years ago
or so. I want to stay at home.

Speaker 5 (49:18):
Yeah, there was like a they made like a big
to do about it, like, oh, you know, he had
a wonderful career around what happened, and we should embrace
him here in Boston, Like what you guys nuts, what
you did to that dude for decades.

Speaker 10 (49:30):
Well, he died just a few years ago. But he
died of what Robin Williams had, that Louis body dementia. Yeah,
that's why Robin Williams killed himself. That's what Buckner head.
He died you say a few years ago, twenty nineteen?
Oh okay, yeah, May of twenty nineteen, poor Buckner. Oh
my god, right, but your name is because I remember
they did an episode of Curby your enthusiasm with him,

(49:51):
and you know, but your name is synonymous with God. Yeah, Mark,
You're just your ballplayer, Like hundreds and hundreds of other guys.
It was just another mess in a long line of
jet mistakes.

Speaker 11 (50:04):
Right.

Speaker 5 (50:04):
It's like the Browns with starting quarterbacks. I get forty
of them in the last eight years or whatever. You know,
same thing the car show on one.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Our devices are always listening to us.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
We are, so if you start to see ads for
squeezy salads and Wiener milk, you know who to blame.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Show w MMS. We air in that cat's free games
of our Night.

Speaker 11 (50:48):
On MMS.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Sorry are you talking to somebody? Sorry? Yeah, sorry, I
was screen. What did you ask me? I'm sorry?

Speaker 10 (50:58):
Are we we're airing the games to our night previous? Okay, ye,
Bulls are in town tomorrow night. I can't make it,
but seven o'clock tip off here, I'll be a buzzard
briefly off. I mean, fortunately there was less of a
gap between Guardians baseball and Cavs preseason. But I'm pinning
all of my baseball hopes now in my Toronto Blue Jays.

(51:21):
But your Cleveland Cavaliers take the court at the Rocket
Arena tomorrow night at seven o'clock. They'll play I guess well,
then they go to Chicago to play the Bulls. And
then the twenty second of this month is going to
be twenty second will be the season opener with the Cavaliers.

(51:43):
They'll be playing the Knicks in New York. I saw
that the Cleveland Browns came in only second behind the
New York Knicks. Chad GPT determined the most cursed sports franchises.
I'd say curse it because it is spooky season and
is more fun to say cursed. Uh, the most cursed
sports franchises of all time, and the Cleveland Browns came

(52:05):
in second, behind only the New York Knicks. Now why
the Cubs are mentioned third, I don't know. They just
won a World Series.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (52:15):
Maybe because they had such a long drought, that's my guess.
But still I don't know that I would anyway, and
all the stories with.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
The goat and all that stuff that went along with
it that, yeah, it's probably all of that.

Speaker 8 (52:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (52:27):
That Guardians come in at number six, So Cleveland the
only city represented twice the top ten most cursed defranchises
of all time, according to chat GPT. Apparently, chat GPD
has never heard of the Indiana Pacers. But okay, there

(52:47):
they are the Detroit Lions, the sack Kings, the Buffalo Bills,
Minnesota Vikings, the Clippers, and the Jets are in there
as well. Speaking of the Minnesota Vikings, it might be cursed,
but they were not cursed to lose to the Cleveland brown.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
BlimE me, I mean just they lost in London. When
I moved here, the first thing someone said is get
ready to get annoyed every single week at the local
football team. They will find a way to lose every
single week. They referred to them as the local football team. Well, yeah,
I understand. They didn't even want to invoke their names.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
I didn't want to say, yeah, the team. We shall
not mention the voldemort of football.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
I believe, I just I don't. I again, I'm always
going to be a Patriots fan. That's where I'm from,
that's my home team, That's where I'm gonna be forever.
But I will always support the teams where I am right.
So I watch Browns games. I can watch every single
one of them, not having to pay extra so I do.
I cannot understand, for the life of me how they

(53:54):
lose these games.

Speaker 10 (53:56):
They have a listen, what do they say if you
want to get real good at something, you put in
your ten thousand hours, right, So these guys have put
in more than their ten.

Speaker 5 (54:05):
Thousand hours of losing. So it's the thing that they're
the best at. It's I just I don't understand like you.
Literally you had a rookie quarterback throw no picks, two
touchdowns nineteen to thirty three, had a better day out
there than Carson Wentz loses, Judkins rushes one hundred and

(54:25):
ten yards.

Speaker 10 (54:27):
Vikings are five and oh in London. They just lost
to the Steelers in Dublin. Vikings are five and oh.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
In London and Djoku six receptions And weren't they behind
much of the game, by the way the Vikings. Yeah,
And just this is again, man, it's no hot take
at this point, but it's got to be the coaching man.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
It has to be. And listen, Stefanski amazingly good looking guy.
I get it. See this is what I'm worried about.

Speaker 12 (54:54):
You know.

Speaker 10 (54:55):
The intersection here of Kevin Stefanski and the Alan Cox Show,
of course, is that some one early days of Rob
being on the show, said, you know, if you lost
a considerable amount of weight, you look exactly like Kevin
Stefans a good amount of weight to good amount of Wait,
but I'm sorry word economy, Uh, this.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Syllable economy.

Speaker 5 (55:14):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (55:15):
But this was an unsolicited opinion obviously, Yeah in the
grocery store, right. So my concern goes to, I don't
want people mistaking you for him and taking out their
anger unknowingly on one Rob Anthony instead of one Kevin Stefan.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
And I am losing weight and getting a little more svelt.
How you doing that?

Speaker 5 (55:34):
Oh, I'm working with Mentality Wow mentalityhealth dot com, slash
radio if you would like to find out some more
for yourself. Believable, I'm down a significant amount of weight.

Speaker 10 (55:44):
I didn't want to say anything. You're far too humble
to uh take your accolades. But I've noticed, have you? Yes,
my my lap has hurt a lot less. We did
share a seat last night, so that was wait.

Speaker 8 (55:59):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
They were like, no, there's plenty of room. We're like
they're rock called. No, you don't understand. See, this is
what we do. This is well us. It's funny because
they locked it.

Speaker 10 (56:06):
They put our phones in yonder bags last night at
the rock Hall, and we all had to sign NDA's
because this announcement was being made, but nobody knew they
were going to make the announcement.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
I wink wink that they were going to go on tour.

Speaker 10 (56:20):
Right, but the announcement was not going to be publicly
made until ten a m.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Today.

Speaker 10 (56:26):
So last night they're like, hey, FYI, you can't post
any of this. H is Greg Harris, who is ahead
of the rock Hall. He's like, you can't post any
of this includes this and this and this. Oh in PostScript,
just remember you all signed NDAs, which we did. Our
friend pound Cake would have been so thrilled at me
signing an NDA, a real honest to goodness nd for

(56:50):
this RUSH event last night. Now, I don't think that
that would have made any the NDA itself. I don't
think would have been enough, you know, to get his
dander up, because I he don't know who Rush is,
but the NDA s the NDA itself though they wanted
to impress upon us, Hey FYI, please don't do this.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
And also there's an NDA and did you did you
look it over before you signed it? I looked at it.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
It was kind of cool because the names at the top,
like the people that were responsible for the NDA. It
said like Alex Lifson Geddy Lee. Well yeah, and you're
just like, oh, that's who I'm signing this for. Well, yeah,
I knew what it was for. It was just like
it wasn't the management company, it was directly with them.

Speaker 12 (57:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Well, maybe they're scrap booking. Maybe in their downtime they
wanted me to they wanted my signature on that NDA.

Speaker 10 (57:46):
Well, most people were just signing it with an X. Anyway,
I think they's getting some pen on the paper. But
I gave them my John Hancock same in earnest because
somewhere in the archives of rush goings on.

Speaker 5 (58:01):
Are our signatures. It was funny the way they threw
that in last second too, Like, wasn't that great? I
remember now no posting about this till tomorrow. When you
came in and you locked your phones up, you also
signed an NDA, and that means that if you do this,
this will happen to you.

Speaker 8 (58:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
Uh, anyway, we might see you. Have a good night
there about it nights like Comma. There's like one hundred
people in there. It was afterward you split and I
went downstairs for a few minutes and I talked to
Cliff Bernstein. He's a guy that started Q Pride and
he's metallic as man, like he's a big deal.

Speaker 11 (58:37):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (58:38):
So he and I were chatting for a few minutes,
and uh, as I'm standing there, I look up and
I realized that just to my right Alex is standing
there talking to Donna, the old music director of MMS,
and directly behind him yet he's talking to the to
the president of the rock Hall. And I'm like, I'm
in a room with six people and two of them

(58:59):
are rush.

Speaker 8 (59:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:01):
It was just it was that sort of weird, surreal
moment where I didn't say anything to my waves, you
know when I walked in, but I didn't I didn't
bother them, I didn't say anything. I was just I
was taking that in like I didn't care about getting
a photo. I didn't care any of that. It was
just cool to be standing there listening to them just
in that way, like they're just hanging out, you know.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Standing potentially in a zone of rush farts. That's very true.

Speaker 5 (59:23):
Wow, Well that was one of the problems Alex Lifson
had was a had a gastro intestinal problem, so maybe
there was a bunch of things.

Speaker 10 (59:30):
Yeah, okay, rush farts, rush farts, it is great, even
though we had zero to do with it, because of
course Rush's their tenure with this radio station goes back
to Donna Helper in the early seventies and that whole
that kind of og MMS crew.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
So we obviously have nothing to do with it.

Speaker 10 (59:50):
But there were a few other local radio people in
that room, and so I was like, boy, that must
suck for them when every other mention of this band
is WMMS.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Yeah, and there's no way around that. It just is
what it is.

Speaker 10 (01:00:07):
But there's a lot of ambient love for this radio
station in that room when the when they're talking to
the guys.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
In Rush and the dude from one of the stations,
he was very fidgety, and I was like, I think
he just like he's suction cup to his chair. His
butt is so puckered, you know what I mean. I
was like, he just you could tell he was very uncomfortable.

Speaker 10 (01:00:28):
Yeah, but they know you're in local radio and there's
no illusions about what WMMS is. That's why Rob, I've
worked so hard to put my thumb print on ruining
this one great radio station.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
I'm sorry. I was reading someone's.

Speaker 5 (01:00:42):
Comments where I have I have not, but boy, you
never know it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
By looking online, you'd never know it.

Speaker 10 (01:00:53):
So, yeah, Alan, the Brown's always lose because it's all scripted,
just like this show is scripted, right, I painstakingly write
what is it?

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
On average?

Speaker 9 (01:01:06):
Rob?

Speaker 11 (01:01:07):
Is it?

Speaker 10 (01:01:07):
Probably sixty five pages of dialogue? Oh, at least at
least at least Monday's a little easier because we're kind
of coming in with weekend fumes and whatever. But yeah,
usually probably sixty to seventy five pages of script that
I write, and then Rob and I go over it,
and then I at the end of the show, we
do a little post show and I roundly chastise him

(01:01:30):
if he missed any of his lines. And then I
go home and flagellate myself, which sounds a lot more
exciting than it actually is. I have one of those
old medieval leather straps, the cat of nine tails, you know,
and I'll just kneel in front of a mirror, a
shirtless and I'll whip myself.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
Boy, you don't want to see my back. And if
you really want to know behind the curtain, when Alan
talks about having a bad night's sleep, he'll say things like,
oh man, I didn't sleep at all.

Speaker 8 (01:01:55):
Out.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
That turns into a problem for me because that's when
my phone rings at like three o'clock in the morning,
and he just wants to go over, you know, like
because he'll put little like, you know, side notes in
the script where it's you know, uh, feel free to
add lib react here, which never he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Really that's for the camera. Well, that's all for the camera,
you know.

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
And and I uh, and he'll be like, no, no,
do that again, and I'll say, well, that guy seemed
like he was suction cup to his seat because his
butt was so puckered.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
You flip the do it again. Yeah, it's and this
is just night and I still mess it up. I
almost said ass sorry.

Speaker 11 (01:02:32):
Rob, Hey, hey, what's going over? You're awake? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
Oh that's good dude, that's good. Listen, I'm going over
page thirty seven for tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
All right, hold on, I'm on, I'm on thirty four.

Speaker 11 (01:02:44):
Come on, man, come on, I don't even know why
you're sleeping.

Speaker 10 (01:02:48):
Okay, So anyway, so page thirty seven tomorrow, you're going
to see where we're talking about the Browns. Yep, I'm
going to bring up the Kevin Stefanski thing. Again, I'm
not going to do it like you know in full,
but you're going to want to jump in there. You
need to mention how you're losing a bunch of weight.

Speaker 5 (01:03:02):
Yep, I've written that in there, and you threw in
the thing for the mentality plug, which I thought was
very nice.

Speaker 10 (01:03:07):
Well, listen, you can feel free to kind of add
lib around that. Okay, but I really want to make
sure that you know we're going to be getting to
the Mark Sanchez but fumble okay, and some of those
dumb band names I have.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
So what do you want me to do with the
with the Stefanski thing?

Speaker 5 (01:03:23):
Hold on, there's another call coming. Hold on, Okay, now
I'll just put them on hold. Sorry, Okay, that's my
that's my assistant, the ghostwriter. He's sending me some stuff
over to. What do I want you to What do
you with the with the Stefanski thing? Do you have
me to rehash what happened in the Giant Eagle or

(01:03:43):
do you want to do that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
Okay, So we're just gonna go.

Speaker 5 (01:03:46):
I'm just gonna say he's a good looking guy and
let people think that I know what they're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Yes, okay, all right, Yeah, Okay, I'll see it tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (01:03:53):
Cool man, see it. And then twenty minutes later he
does it again. Yeah, I sure, do you know? I
was thinking about that again?

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Hey, heyy so did you didn't put away? Did you know?

Speaker 10 (01:04:03):
Okay, page forty seven. You need to pull something out
of there. Okay, all right, when I because I probably
shouldn't have it in there when I put in the.

Speaker 5 (01:04:12):
Name of the girl we work with who came up
behind you and fingered your coinslot, Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
drop that.

Speaker 11 (01:04:19):
I don't want I don't really first spot. Yeah, all
just a.

Speaker 5 (01:04:22):
Strike that name, okay, okay, cool, all right, So we're
just gonna leave it as like you know, uh, she
did it.

Speaker 10 (01:04:28):
Yeah see, Rob got a new canyon piercing and I
don't know if everybody wants to know about that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
And boy, she couldn't just I'm not trying to make
ways here, I know, I know, but but it was
my fault. I mean, I I walked in this. Blame
the victim, Rob.

Speaker 10 (01:04:43):
I did never blame the victim, Yeah, I guess, Paul
and Detroit, pointing out that the Vikings stayed in the
UK that whole time to play two games, so the
lack of travel might have helped them a little bit, if.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
That's what you want to go with.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
They also played the Cleveland Browns that probably hit them
a little bit too, and calling back a fifty six
yard rushing touchdown though because of stupid holding penalties.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
That's how you lose games. Again.

Speaker 5 (01:05:10):
I'm not I'm not a lifelong Browns fan. I've cared
about the team for exactly three years. But Jesus Christ,
so just get out of the way. Somebody to let
the Somebody has to make some change there somehow, because
it is you got a good team.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
They want to win games.

Speaker 11 (01:05:28):
They sure do.

Speaker 10 (01:05:29):
I got money for you one thousand dollars from the
Buzzard bookie. About thirty pass or so. Just about every
day you get a crack of this money. So I
hope you ain't good luck.

Speaker 12 (01:05:38):
This is your chance to bat with a Buzzard bookie
and win one thousand dollars. Now introduce nationwide keyword at
double umms dot com.

Speaker 8 (01:05:48):
Bank that's bank inter and now at double umms dot com.

Speaker 17 (01:05:54):
I grew up in Pittsburgh. I'm a Steelers fan, which
means I hate the Browns. I also hate the Cleveland Browns.
But no, I am a Steelers fan, so I hate
like the Browns, the Bengals, and the Ravens.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Those are our big rivals.

Speaker 17 (01:06:17):
But I realized that deep down, I actually love those
teams because they make it more fun to be a
Steelers fan. Like if all those teams stopped playing football
or went to a different league, being a Steelers fan
would be kind of stupid. And that's what I wish
white nationalists would realize, like, don't kick them out. It

(01:06:44):
won't be fun for you if you kicked them out. Yeah,
it's gonna be stupid when you just you need the Ravens.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):
Anyway, you need the Ravens. That is what he's trying
to say. Who is that Dave what's his name?

Speaker 10 (01:06:59):
Cosway Cogo comic, But he's from Pittsburgh and so he
does a hunk there on how being a Steeler fan
is you know whatever? Alan No mentioned the Pittsburgh Pirates
or is there not a curse and just a bad honor? Yeah,
they don't they Yeah, they're not looking to spend money
in Pittsburgh. They're like, we got tons of people coming

(01:07:20):
to this park. That's why they turn PNC Park into
an Amusement park. They're like, you have to watch the
game make money off the otherwise, so they're not looking
to sink money into the team. It's been like that
for a long time since I was living there, and
probably before that. But yeah, anyway, if you listen to
us on the iHeartRadio app the aforementioned you can leave

(01:07:41):
us messages there.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Hi, Alan, this is Christine in East Rochester. I'm listening
to the podcast from Tuesday's show last week and you
made a ferronte Entysher reference and then immediately said that
was for about two people in the audience.

Speaker 5 (01:07:58):
Why am one of those two people?

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Growing up?

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
My mom loved Franti and tyscher had several of their albums.
So thank you for the nice reminder of her hate
the show.

Speaker 10 (01:08:09):
That's what I like to do, rob is I, at
least on a daily basis. Now, this isn't in the script.
You'll find this not written in the margins or anywhere.
I try to remind members of our audience of their
dead relatives. Oh it's just a little free service I provide.
How did we get on Frantain and tyshert. Somebody made
a comment and I threw a Ferranti and Tyscher aside

(01:08:31):
out and like she said, I said, that was for
about two people, because remember Franti and Tysher.

Speaker 5 (01:08:36):
I don't that one actually flew past me. So this
would have been in the sixties. It's a deep cut boy.

Speaker 10 (01:08:41):
It was these two dudes in the sixties that were
doing like piano music, and they were doing kind of
these jaunty instrumentals.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
He did a lot of film music and things like that.

Speaker 10 (01:08:49):
But there were a couple of dudes who like went
to Juilliard and then as soon as they graduated, they
became faculty.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
This is what they look like if you're watching the
live stream.

Speaker 10 (01:08:59):
They look like two dudes doing a parody of a
couple of like lound singers or something. But Ferranti and
Tyscher were a piano duo in the late sixties and
they're both dead. I don't know when they died, but
I just remember my mom had Ferrante and Tysher album.
They had to have been hand me downs, because it's
not like my mom was listening to it all that frequently,

(01:09:22):
but it would show up in the rotation. My mom
would just she had a massive record collection. She would
just put huge stacks of albums on the turntable, and
whatever came up came up, and every so often there'd
be some Ferrante and Tyser.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
You think either one of them was ever envious of
the other. Why can't I look more like you? Forte?
Why can't I look more like you? Tysher?

Speaker 5 (01:09:44):
It's probably bad to have pianist envy w mms Rob
on social media where you're gonna want to find him.
Thank you, sir and Tyser instrumental favorites. I want all
the poets of the all of us, the bulls, Jill Ferrante,

(01:10:04):
Frank Tyscher. I don't know what their names were. I
just remember they were a.

Speaker 10 (01:10:08):
Arthur Ferrante and Lewis Tischer met at Juilliard, the latter
from Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania and the former from New York City,
and they were both child prodigies. Like I said, these
were two dudes game recognized his game. They went to
Juilliard and as soon as they graduated, the became faculty,

(01:10:29):
and so they were like doing night clubs and all
kinds of stuff. So it goes back to the fifties
and sixties. But they got commissioned to do a lot
of like film score work. But I couldn't even tell
you what song I remember from when I was a kid.
I just remember my mom having Ferrante and tysher records.
And then there's a there's a somebody saying saying, hey,

(01:10:55):
who was it again, Allen?

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
This is Christine in East Rochester.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Christina and East Rochester. Thank you, dear.

Speaker 10 (01:11:02):
Yes, I'm happy to make you remember your what dead
mom or something? Listen, it's nice to get those little
nuggets of kind of remembrance.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
You know, The Allen Cox Show on.

Speaker 8 (01:11:15):
One hundred point seven call the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
Thanks for turning me on and allowing me to spend
this time with you. I hope I can turn you one.

Speaker 12 (01:11:28):
Two, one six, five seven eight one double oh seven
or one eight three four eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
We got that super moon again tonight. Row you're out
there in the sticks. You care about this crap?

Speaker 11 (01:12:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
I like it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:05):
I mean it's I'm not going to get up in
the middle of the night to see something, but if
it happens to be there, I'll check it out.

Speaker 10 (01:12:11):
I mean, last couple of nights you could tell, right,
I mean I was walking back here. Of course, I
part here at work anytime I'm doing something downtown, and
so I was walking back from the rush thing at
the Rock.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Hall last night.

Speaker 10 (01:12:22):
It was like a kleig light up there, huge, huge,
massive moon, the big super moon tonight. For people who
pay attention to that stuff, imagine if they go tonight's
the big super moon and everybody looks up that night
pitch black, nothing there, one's gone.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
That would be a huge problem. Hey, why are the
tides all weird? The moon got nuked?

Speaker 10 (01:12:48):
Somebody accidentally nuked to the moon, or asteroids hit it
again knocked it off. Course, the moon will appear slightly
larger and slightly brighter tonight.

Speaker 11 (01:12:59):
Now.

Speaker 10 (01:12:59):
Of course, Cleveland, will Ohio, which has more annual cloud
cover than the Pacific Northwest. You never quite know what
you're gonna get. What There will be a handful of
super moons this year or is it Super's Moon? I
don't know super moons and some people measure this stuff,
you know, I don't know. If the gang over there

(01:13:19):
at NASA in our backyard keeps an eye on this,
I would have to imagine that they probably have a
couple of people on super Moon duty.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
But you know, we had one. The last one wasn't
that long ago.

Speaker 10 (01:13:33):
I mean, there was a super moon earlier in the year,
and so the people who are charged with kind of
looking at these things, they go, eh, it's not that unusual,
but it's still fun, you know, for people who are
now here's what I concern myself with. And some people
might think that it's dumb and mundane to mention it
at all, given that it's not that unusual, but it's

(01:13:56):
the frequency with which these happens that make me concerned
for people who live near area were wolves.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Right.

Speaker 10 (01:14:03):
Oh yeah, So listen, I'm not one of those people
that's going to tell you what you should be doing
to protect yourself against cryptids of all shape and size.
But when there are these lunar occurrences, my brain does
immediately go to people who live in werewolf heavy areas,

(01:14:25):
and there are a lot of them in northeast Ohio,
and not all of them suburban.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
You know, there are urban werewolf areas. You guys know
all this.

Speaker 10 (01:14:36):
I mean, obviously there's a variety of apps that will
get you hip to what's going on there. But for
the rest of us who are in werewolf not proof
areas rob But you know, there aren't a lot of
werewolf sightings where I live. It's mostly dead rabbits that
I have to very secretly clean up from underneath the

(01:14:56):
swing set ofment my backyard. I got to go out
there and throw another dead rabbit in a garbage bag
before my kid finds it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Yeah, that was fun. But for people who do have
to contend regularly with werewolves, this is something maybe to
keep an eye on.

Speaker 5 (01:15:12):
Starting to have some issues with Eddie Vetter. How so
this whole Bob Dylan hat look thing he's got going
on is.

Speaker 11 (01:15:24):
Stop.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
He's got the hair now like this weird hair, but
isn't his hair thinning?

Speaker 5 (01:15:29):
Yes? And he puts on these stupid hats and then
he wears like that that the the La Dodgers hat
that he has, and it looks like a big poofy Eddie,
Eddie stopped it. You know, he had like sketchers on
I saw in a picture not recently.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
You're talking about this where he's got like the hat
just kind of sitting on his head there.

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
It's trying like this Bob Dylan, Eddie stop it. Well,
what do you what do you want him to get
some plugs. Here's it looked like ed. Here's him and
the thing there. You see that the hat you're talking about.
Mister Vetterer has entered his hat phase as what people
are saying, and he's doing like these dumb Bob Dylan hats.
And then when he does wear a ball cap. A,

(01:16:10):
the guy's a Cubs fan, so don't wear Dodgers hats,
and b don't wear the big poofy sponge sized ones,
not the Drugger cap.

Speaker 10 (01:16:18):
He looks like such a douche. I didn't realize this
was really sticking in your crawl. Well it was over
the but look, the Mariners have a because it Listen,
he's not he's from Chicago, but I mean, obviously people
associated with Seattle. He's a Cubs fan from home. But
you know, I think he grew up in where he
grew up. But he's associated Pearl Jam obviously. But there's
a Vetter Cup cap that the Mariners gave away this season,

(01:16:41):
so that's probably, but he's a junction with that why
he's wearing a Mariner's.

Speaker 5 (01:16:46):
He's wearing Dodgers caps. That's what I'm saying. If it's Seattle, okay,
but isn't he like a when in Rome guy? I
mean if he comes out to sing baby, he's not
you know, yeah, I mean but when he when he
wears sports stuff, it's usually Chicago themed.

Speaker 2 (01:16:58):
He normally has on a bear's jersey.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
How do you feel about the hard batting helmet there
from the Seattle Mariners?

Speaker 11 (01:17:04):
You like that?

Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
I would take that over what he's doing. I just
I feel like he's in crisis. I feel like he's
in that. I gotta pick a lane. I gotta have
a new look because the hair situation's happening, and he's
trying out too many things.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
And Bob Dylan already did this one. Stop it. You
look dumb. You're any vetter for Christ's sake, let.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
Me speak rob On behalf of people who have still
a lot of hair. Yes, Eddie Vedder should do whatever
he needs to do to make himself feel better. Is
of course, after all, better to look good than to
feel good. And he's a rock star and if he's thinning,
you can't be a rock star with your hair thinning

(01:17:48):
on top. You can't. You either got to shave it off.
And the grunge guys, right, remember back in the day.

Speaker 10 (01:17:54):
When he cut his hair real short yep, and people
are like, oh, that looks pretty good, and he's like, yeah,
he's just me. That's how I feel. I look way
better with short hair. But I'm not a short hair guy,
and so I sacrifice rob. I break my own cardinal
rule that it's better to look good than to feel
good with that. Now, I'm not thinning, so I don't

(01:18:16):
concern myself with caps. But if I were Eddie Vedder
and I go, hey, man, like he's coloring his hair right,
he's a gen X rock star. It's easy to not
care about anything when you're twenty one and you're jumping
off the rafters and you.

Speaker 5 (01:18:30):
Say even for yeah, you know, but you're sixty. Is
he sixty already?

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
He's got to be closed.

Speaker 10 (01:18:36):
Eddie Vedder is sixty. He will be sixty one this Christmas,
and he still wants to be Eddie Vetter, to be
Eddie Vedder. He looks like he looks Dylan. He looks
like he's had a bit of work done as well.
He's starting to look like Jeff tweety. Yes, So I
think that Eddie Vedder when you say he's in crisis,
I just think he's a guy that's like, I kind

(01:18:58):
of want to look the same the other guy in
Pearl Jam. They've gone through their stuff, right Stone Gossard,
all those guys, they look very different.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
Yeah, I think Eddie's trying to like look the same
and miserable. Well, says you, that's gonna involve him wearing hats.

Speaker 5 (01:19:15):
Would then wear a hat? He's wearing hat, don't wear
that hat? Would you like him to wear a fez?
Like singer songwritery Bob Dylan, that's not who Eddie Vedder is,
but plays like a jazz player.

Speaker 10 (01:19:29):
No, but Eddie Vedder has always been a guy who
could pick up an acoustic guitar and fire off a
song for you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
I know, But he's not that guy.

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
That dude that he's being in all of these pictures
now is not who Edievedder is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
You're a flannel wearing guy, It's not who Eddie Vedder was. Okay.

Speaker 10 (01:19:47):
People can go through moments of professional and personal crisis
where they do like a I've felt it myself, where
you end up doing like a one eighty from everything
you've thought or believed because you're just in a diferent
spot now, same person you're in a different spot listen
Vetter is in his late era Dylan phase.

Speaker 5 (01:20:08):
I get the hating yourself every single day thing. I
understand it wholeheartedly. I would change everything about myself if
I could, but I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (01:20:18):
To do that.

Speaker 10 (01:20:20):
I guess I don't understand what you what You're taking
such umbrage with Bob Dylan hat. The Vetter in a
Bob Dylan.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
Hat looks stupid.

Speaker 5 (01:20:30):
Would you prefer that he wore this one and that
sun hat, the woven sun hat so as to avoid
melanoma or any other nomas?

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
Some poofy baseball caps.

Speaker 5 (01:20:43):
That just it's like what David Spade does, when David
Spade wears a hat trying to hide the fact that
he has.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
A rug, right, oh, a spade of a rug. I
think so.

Speaker 5 (01:20:51):
I think that's always been like the rumored thing. But
I'm sure right, like, when you see him wearing a hat,
you're like, oh, right.

Speaker 10 (01:20:56):
Yeah, But there's a lot of times without a hat.
And I just think some of these older guys like you,
you're gonna keep your hair long.

Speaker 5 (01:21:03):
But if you're but but again, if you're Eddie Vedder
and you want to continue to look like Eddie Vedder.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
So you want to put ed get Vetter in a box. Rob.

Speaker 5 (01:21:11):
No, what I'm saying is if Eddie Vedder, you're saying
he wants to keep that image, right, he doesn't. Didn't
do what Stone Gosser did, didn't do what those other
dudes didn't. Looked completely different. Eddie wants to look like Eddie, right,
look like Eddie. Then you have all of the means
in the world to get the Tom Brady plugs and
look just like yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
I mean, Brady's face is different, but the hair looks perfect.
Go go, go do that with your hair.

Speaker 7 (01:21:33):
It's easy.

Speaker 10 (01:21:33):
You mean, oh you mean get Yeah, but he's not
gonna get plugs to look like Eddie in ninety two.

Speaker 5 (01:21:38):
That would be right, But he can get plugs to
look like Eddie. Now, like what Eddie's hair would look
like if he didn't lose it. Yeah, but I don't
know that he's going bald. He just doesn't have Oh,
he just doesn't have as much hair.

Speaker 11 (01:21:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
It's just it's the hat just irks me. Wow, you're
Eddie Vedder.

Speaker 10 (01:21:54):
It's like an amish type thing that you're talking about,
that flat top kind of.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
It's that hat, but then he has sometimes he wears
the Dylan fedora.

Speaker 10 (01:22:02):
You're talking about that hat that Bob Dylan has on
there that kind of looks like a felt type things
wearing even.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
He's been.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
But also, yeah, okay, let me be Bob Dylan now.
But Eddie Vedder has also he has not hidden his Dylan.

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
Worship at all. I know, but again, no need to
dress like him. All right. Wow, I didn't realize that
that was such a b in your bonnet.

Speaker 5 (01:22:35):
I love Eddie Vedder, I love Pearl Jam, I don't
love that the interview he did on on CBS News
that was awful.

Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:22:46):
Looks like it's like a cross between Bob Dylan and
if he was like a beat reporter for a newspaper
in the forties. It's got a card in the band
that says, pressed, what say some of man saves Metropolis
from the thinker?

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
Eddie Vedder reporting for the Post for a daily planet.
Wak straight? Why tray right all about it?

Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
I'm like, dude, you're Eddie Vedder. Come on, man, wow,
you carry the torch for all of us. I want
you to be that rock star forever.

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
So yeah, but nobody is I know. Okay, So here's
Eddie Vedder. This is the look that you're talking about here,
Chris Serf in the morning, that's it.

Speaker 18 (01:23:25):
I remember it being super foggy and one of those
days where you think maybe I won't go out, but
I had.

Speaker 5 (01:23:31):
But that's just a fedora, isn't it. He's in a
flannel shirt and a T shirt and he just has
a fedora on his head. Just do an image search
for recent Eddie Vedder photos and he has seventeen different hats.
One of them is like the the did John Popper
blues traveler hat.

Speaker 10 (01:23:51):
Yeah, he just looks like a jag off and like
just but maybe he's but he's playing with hats, like
when I have gone into a hatter, right, I've walked
in and I go, it is this play something in
a Mi Toronto. It's run on Queen Street, and I'll
walk in every time and I'll go, maybe, let's see
how if I look better in a hat? Not better,
but like could I pull off this hat?

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Yeah? Like a foot door? I can't.

Speaker 5 (01:24:16):
And so now again, if you're gonna change up your look,
don't crowdsource it, just do it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
I maybe that's what he's doing.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
Right, it is.

Speaker 5 (01:24:24):
After a while, people will just go, well, it's his
look now, but listen as a guy will get used
to it. For people to get used to it, I
wear a hat every single day of my life. Baseball cap,
Yes I have. I have a receding hairline. I lost
every piece of hair that I lost when I was
eighteen years old and it came out in clumps and that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
Was it and it stopped.

Speaker 5 (01:24:42):
So I still have hair, but I don't have like
the I'm gonna not. I'm gonna grow my hair out
like Alan did hair like.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
I couldn't do that. I would look like a dope.

Speaker 5 (01:24:50):
But when you have a guy like Eddie Vedder who
has a lot of people think I look like a dope,
I grew my hair out well, but whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Everybody has, I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:24:58):
I would just like a schmuck if I tried to
do it what I'm saying, like, I couldn't pull that
off because my hair would be like back here, I see.
You know what I mean of a scullet, right, So
I would stay away from that. Eddie Vetter's trying out
this hat thing in real time, and every hat.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
Is a different hat. At least I'm a.

Speaker 10 (01:25:13):
Ball hasn't found the one that he likes, though, But
I think that I think you should spend your whole
life trying out new looks. That's what I think, in
your whole life, until the day you die, when you're
lying there. You could be eighty five and you're lying
there in Miami Dolphins basketball shorts and a Neon green
tank top and you're on your death like this was

(01:25:34):
my last look. I was just trying different looks. He's
not going to be happy with that, man, So that
one accessory is throwing you off with it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
It really is. It really really is.

Speaker 18 (01:25:44):
The music and my head the instrumental and just kind
of wrote it and then I was still wet when
I hit record.

Speaker 5 (01:25:56):
See and then you hear that voice come out of
that and I'm like, no, Eddie, stop the plastic surgery
hair hat, just stop.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Pick something.

Speaker 10 (01:26:12):
I wonder too, if you get to a point because
his wife is like a model, right, his second wife.
He married a woman who I think is considerably younger
than he is, and so at some point, you go, man,
she still looks great, and I'm starting to look like
I'm a hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
You go, well, maybe I gotta change this change. Maybe
he's in that right and listen, he doesn't think. I
think it's more interesting Rob to see that like rock stars,
they're just like us.

Speaker 5 (01:26:35):
He has a black ball cap that he wears in
his rotation of lids that works very well. It's it's
a perfect Eddie Vetter accessory. Yeah, looks great. Then he
comes out with the Dilan hat. Then he comes out
like John Popper. Then he comes out like the press guy.
I just stop, just wear the black hat. Be the

(01:26:55):
black hat guy, Eddie. You want him to look the
same all the way through. But that's for us, not
for him.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
It's for me. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:27:04):
I love the band I love and you can't get
used to him rocking the Fedora now. No, but he
looks so like in that black hat he's wearing right here. Look,
I mean he probably can't see my computer, but he
has just a black plane baseball cap on the Cubs
logo on it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
See, you can't even really see it because it's black.
It's perfect.

Speaker 5 (01:27:22):
Leslie agrees with you. Eddie looks like a tool. Thank you, Leslie.
I'm catching a lot of heat for this one, Allan.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
I'm betting the Eddie Vedder thing wasn't in the script.
That wasn't. Actually, who cares what people think? Yeah, I'm
catching your friend.

Speaker 5 (01:27:38):
Brett Michaels has been wearing a bandana for the last
thirty years, right, Hulk Hogan, same thing. Everybody knows you're
bald under there. Yep, I'm catching it in here too.

Speaker 12 (01:27:49):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:27:50):
Rob has issues with a lot of people, says the
man with the hat on. Rob's losing his roof too.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
Yeah, I said it. I wear a hat every day.

Speaker 8 (01:27:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
The one day I didn't because I had an event.
I came in here and you jerks busted my balls
the entire day. So yeah, I'm gonna wear a hat
every single day because I don't want to listen to
you people.

Speaker 10 (01:28:10):
Yeah, well, listen, what if Eddie starts rocking one of
those like rainbow colored beanies with a propeller on it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
Okay, at least that's your thing.

Speaker 5 (01:28:24):
I think I would even be happy if he was like,
you know what, in tribute to the Rush reunion tour,
I am going to wear the Neil Peart beanie hat.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
I'd be like, awesome, good for you. Yeah, that's a
look that's yours.

Speaker 10 (01:28:36):
The crocheted Nation of Islam skull cap that Neil Puraritt
was always wearing.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
Yes, perfect, that's what you want to wear. Wear that,
but don't be somebody else. But Neil pur didn't have
long hair. Well does Eddy Vedder. He doesn't have to,
but he does. It's well, it's just above his shoulders.
It's not long long. Yours is longer than his.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
No, I know, I'm just saying like he's he's still
a guy that's like rocking long hair anyway. Wow, I
didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (01:29:04):
Eddie listened to me. Black hat, black baseball cap, black
T shirt, flannel shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Go be Eddie Vedder, don't be Bob Dyling Eddie Vedder
from nineteen ninety two. Bob Dylan's already Bob doing okay, but.

Speaker 10 (01:29:16):
Look at it this way, think about and this is different.
This is not an aesthetic thing visually. But when Bob
Dylan Dylan goes electric, everybody said, why are you You're
not Bob Dylan anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
He's like, I just plugged it in. You'll get used
to this too. Yeah, but then he went back to
the acoustic. My voice is feels terrible. That should make
you feel good.

Speaker 5 (01:29:36):
Yeah, Hey, who caresn't understand a word I say in concert.

Speaker 9 (01:29:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:29:41):
So yeah, Dave, are you against Eddie Vedder wearing that
Bob Dylan hat? You're right, he has spoken, Thank you, Dave.
What did one of those Propeller beanies sound like? Okay, well,
Dave is on your side.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:30:03):
Alan Tell Rob that Eddie Vedder kills it in that
Indiana Jones hat.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
No, he doesn't.

Speaker 10 (01:30:08):
Some of the best material he's ever done were the
solo albums he put out. He's always been just as
much that singer songwriter guy as he was rock star.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
That's what I mean. He's always been a guy.

Speaker 10 (01:30:20):
You know, he did that into the wild music, and
he's always been a guy that like it is as
home with the acoustic stuff as with Pearl Jam.

Speaker 5 (01:30:28):
Sure sure combined add up every single thing singer songwriter
Eddie Vedder ever did and released and see if it mounts.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
To one Pearl Jam single?

Speaker 11 (01:30:39):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
But is that because of how that's not his hat situation? No,
But what I'm saying is you can be two separate people.

Speaker 5 (01:30:47):
It doesn't necessarily you don't have to be two completely
separate people. You can still be Eddie Vedder, the singer
songwriter and be Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam and.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Be the same cool dude.

Speaker 10 (01:30:56):
Maybe he wants his look to reflect the musical vibe
he's doing when he's sitting there with a guitar and
he's I'm sure in his mind to some degree, channeling
Bob Dylan.

Speaker 5 (01:31:06):
Hey, maybe he can release Highway sixty one, revisit Idiot,
Blonde on Blonde. We can go ahead and re release
that one Blonde on Blonde. And I love the Hurricane.
I cannot say bad things at all about Eddie Vedder
with the exception of the hat.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
You're just talking about the aesthetic value of that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:22):
I love that band so much. I love Eddie Vetter's
That's I think that's why this is such a thing
for me. Yeah, I don't want to see him do that.
I don't want to see him turn into that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
It's not you, Eddie. Could he rock a do rag? Sure?
It would be better than that. You're saying anything other
than that these hats, okay, It's it's not just that hat.

Speaker 5 (01:31:40):
It's if you're okay, if you're gonna be the Fedora guy,
be the Fedora guy, if you're gonna be that Billy
the kid rounded out stupid bucket hat thing you're with,
then be that guy. If you want to be the
uh what an Abraham Lincoln? Where stove pipe, stove pipath
you want to wear one, wear one of those. Take
it from slash do what he did? Yeah, but all

(01:32:01):
these other things you're saying, he can wear any other
hat other than this one. He still wouldn't look like
Eddie from ninety two. He's wearing a stove pipe. He
don't say he has to look like Eddie from ninety two. Oh,
he should look like Eddie from ninety two in twenty
twenty five, the guy who aged into twenty twenty five
without becoming Bob Dllen.

Speaker 2 (01:32:20):
All right, yeah, darn it. Listen, I have friends of
friends of friends.

Speaker 5 (01:32:25):
I will get word to young Edward vedder I that
there is dissent love this within the ranks. I'm such
a fan of this man. I don't want to see this.
I'm scrolling through these images. Eddie, stop the face stuff.
He's a he has a plastic surgery or whatever. He's
got to stop it.

Speaker 10 (01:32:44):
The clit rattler is imploring you, Eddie, to please lay
off the Dylan chapeau.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
Whatever you do. See Ellen Carr Show.

Speaker 8 (01:32:56):
On one hundred points of it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
If he sounds super excited to see you, Hey, what's up?
Remember he is a paid performers, a broadcaster.

Speaker 11 (01:33:08):
He's really good.

Speaker 8 (01:33:09):
Alan Cox on one hundred point seven WMMS.

Speaker 2 (01:33:46):
Was this one of the singles up at fifty one fifty?
I don't remember.

Speaker 10 (01:33:49):
There were nine songs on fifty one fifty van Halen's
first album with Sammy, five of them, six of them
bona fide.

Speaker 11 (01:34:00):
Hits.

Speaker 10 (01:34:00):
And I Was a get Up was the sleeper on
this whole album, and I don't remember anybody really paying
attention to it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
But yeah, I don't think they released this one as
a single.

Speaker 10 (01:34:09):
I was on the back half of my freshman year
in high school, and my whole life was van Halen,
right before I had discovered Metallica, and then I coon
took a backseat, and everybody was so skeptical of Sammy
Hagar joining the band, and then you listen to fifty
one to fifteen and you're like, oh, Christ, yeah, this
is going to be a monster. And you know, obviously
they push it hard enough they needed to or whatever.

(01:34:29):
But Eddie van Halen died five years ago today, and
it seems longer than that. Sammy Hagart just played at
our iHeartRadio Music Festival, rob City. Is that well, I
heard you, and I weren't there, we weren't invited. But
you know, he is a guy who has and I've

(01:34:50):
had Sammy on my show many times over the years.
I did a charity event with him a couple of
years ago, and he couldn't be nicer. You forget that
he's north of seventy, because he's it looks real good.
You know, he can still sing, and he still likes
to work, still likes to get out there and play
and write songs with his nine bands. What he's got.

(01:35:10):
But he made a lot of his money in tequila.
He had the Caba Wabbo thing. I think he still
has that restaurant at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, and he made
a lot of money on Caba Wabo tequila and then
he sold that. What these guys do, and I guess
I never quite understand how they can keep going back
to that, well, if you'll pardon the pun, how they

(01:35:33):
can create a liquor brand, drive the valuation, you know,
one hundred x, and then sell it to a huge distributor.
Diajo or somebody like that and just make crazy money
and then do it again. If you're like, this is
Sammy Hagar's new tequila, you could go, yeah, but we

(01:35:55):
got Samy's old tequila right right here. But Sammy's one
and a half billions up. I don't understand, but they
do it. They keep selling it tequila brands. The follow
up he had was one he had with Guy Fieri,
Sonto Son Taqla, founded by Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar.
You were talking about Eddie Vedder on CBS News this morning.

(01:36:17):
They just did a thing on sixty Minutes about how
twenty four thousand bottles of Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar's
tequila were lost in a heist.

Speaker 2 (01:36:31):
A tequila heist. Rock that golly.

Speaker 10 (01:36:35):
I don't know what Guy Fieri's situation is, right, But
Sammy Hagar, he's got money. He's the rock and roll
Jimmy Buffett. He's out there with his toes in the sand,
elaborate on lost. He says, well, they disappeared. I said, well,
is this a hijacking? I said the drivers?

Speaker 19 (01:36:54):
Okay, I say, is this a because all my mind
goes to is good Fellas, and you know That's what
I'm thinking is happening. He said, no, no, no, no,
the trucks they were appropriated, but we don't know where
they are. I'm like, it's not a needle in a haystack.
I mean, this is a semi tractor truck. My mind
is swimming in exactly how do you lose? You know

(01:37:15):
that many thousands of bottles of tequila?

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
Now here's my question, how would you feel if Guy
Fieri changed up his look?

Speaker 11 (01:37:21):
Rob?

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
He has kept that white.

Speaker 10 (01:37:25):
Shock of hair and the earrings and the rings you know,
and the flavor saver yep. As long as we've publicly
known Guy Fieri, who I think is a guy from Columbus,
he's kept that look. What if he starts wearing Fedoras
he might? I wouldn't care, because I don't care about
Guy Fieri at all. Ohough the fact he's involved in

(01:37:46):
a great tequila.

Speaker 2 (01:37:47):
Yeah, is it good? Santo? I bought you a bottle,
didn't I? I mean, yes, you did.

Speaker 10 (01:37:52):
It's delicious. I could have sworn it is so good.
I'd have to check my bar cart.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
I don't remember.

Speaker 5 (01:37:56):
I have probably had it because we were talking about
it a while back. I think I think I did
bring you a bott you probably did, Thanks for thanks
for remembering.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
It's probably.

Speaker 5 (01:38:09):
I have a lot of bottles there. Other than that,
and I enjoy the Food Network. I think Guy Fierti
is great, but I don't. I don't care if Why
do people say Fietti that's his name. Well, there's an
R and there's no ta in there. It's pronounced.

Speaker 10 (01:38:22):
They're pronouncing it like Fierti set a tea. That's rolling
your arm. I said, Guy Fiertti, you did because you're Italian.
But a lot of people they call him guy Fietti
with a T, and I'm like, what his name is? Well, right,
it's Fieri. I get what they're trying to do. But
they go, no, no, it's Bronce Fietti.

Speaker 2 (01:38:42):
No it's not.

Speaker 10 (01:38:43):
I'm telling now, I'm gonna get worked up. You were
getting worked up over Eddie Butter's hat man worked over Fietti.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Holy cow, did I catch some heat. That's how it's pronounced. No,
it's not. They're rolling their R. Isn't a T in it?

Speaker 5 (01:38:54):
Guy Fieri, Guy Fierti, Fietti of tea in there? Gee,
you roll your I mean roll if you want to,
if you want to do it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):
I get that.

Speaker 10 (01:39:10):
You know when I was in high school, I didn't
drive a Fiedo. Guy Ramsey Fiedi is from Columbus, Ohio,
and uh good for him.

Speaker 5 (01:39:23):
He's kept that look. You know, he's like pudgy billy
idol mm hmm. But he pulls it off like this
is what I'm saying. Once you even if people are
initially like, pro you go, this is my look, screw you.
I'm bleach blonde in my hair. I'm gonna look like
the heat miser and I'm with you know, yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:39:44):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
Just you keep that. Now, change up your look. That's
who you are. Fieri.

Speaker 5 (01:39:51):
Hey, guy Fanny, you're that guy who had all that
that taquila stole and Nie.

Speaker 9 (01:40:00):
Ellen.

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
Guy Fieri will be fine.

Speaker 10 (01:40:02):
He signed a thirty million dollar, three year, thirty million
dollar contract of the Food Network. Yeah, he's like the
ridiculousness of the Food Network, right, MTV just became ridiculousness
and Catfish and now Catfish is gone.

Speaker 5 (01:40:16):
Yeah, and he's got diners, drive in and dives and
those are grocery games.

Speaker 10 (01:40:21):
I don't ever watch the Food Network, so it's unless chopped.
Is that's the only show that i'll watch, and I
haven't watched that in one hundred years. So I used
to be an avid watcher of a lot of those shows.
For many, many years. I watched every frigging minute of
Top Chef. And then I just stopped.

Speaker 2 (01:40:37):
I just fell off.

Speaker 10 (01:40:38):
I'm like, I don't have time, I don't care. But okay,
so he's still on there, and he's fine, and he's
gonna be okay. And plus I'm sure that shipment was insured.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
Yeah, ellen and is pronounced Fietti. I'm just telling you
there's no t in his name Fiedi.

Speaker 19 (01:41:02):
So I explained it, and then people can right out,
So e r and I in Italian is Eddy Eddy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:07):
So it's not Eddie as its fee.

Speaker 10 (01:41:09):
That's what he just says it right there. It's not Eddie,
right Eeri in Italian it's inegos.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
It's not Eddie.

Speaker 10 (01:41:16):
It's Eddie, right, yes, Fieri. Now sure, Columbus guy fi
Eddi's home town. You go a little bit further south
of that, and you're going to get to a town
called Cincinnati, Ohio. And I only mentioned Cincinnati simply because
they're the closest wah wah locations we have in the

(01:41:38):
state of Ohio. I think they're the only wah Wah
stations in Ohio. You got to go to Indianapolis to
get them. Anywhere west of Philly and wah Wah dropped
the gobbler. We were talking to a woman at one
of our Live Guardians broadcasts, right who's here because our
husband's from here or something. It's just been here a

(01:41:59):
long time, but she's originally from Jersey, And I said,
wah Wah drop the gobbler, and her eyes lit up
because I said, this is what we wait for all
year long. When now for our listeners on the East Coast,
I don't have to tell you this, but I do
have to tell you that because of a turkey recall,

(01:42:21):
they had to push it back a week. So I
think wah Wah dropped the gobbler today. It was supposed
to be last week, but there was some turkey recall.
Now again, the closest wah Wah locations we have are
in Cincinnati, And you go, well, I'm not driving my
ass to Cincinnati for a turkey sandwich. You've never had

(01:42:41):
the gobbler because it's worth.

Speaker 2 (01:42:44):
The trip, Is it, really, Dad? It's a turkey sandwich.
I'm telling you to the uninitiated, it's a turkey sandwich.
It's four hours in the car. You know why you
can trust me? Am, I a guy who historically gets excited.

Speaker 11 (01:42:55):
True.

Speaker 5 (01:42:57):
So if anyone was going to tell you, hey, Worth,
when we go to the Jersey Shore, wah wah, I'll
walk to the wah wah and I'll get a giant
jug of tequila and I'll get a gobbler. I just
don't like the name the gobbler wah wah or gobbler. Actually,
now that you mentioned it, I don't like wa wai.
I don't like gobbler. I don't like either one of them. Okay,

(01:43:20):
I wonder if you can order it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
And have it shipped. All right?

Speaker 10 (01:43:23):
How do you feel about Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen and
his famous play head of Gobbler.

Speaker 2 (01:43:30):
I'll have to get back to you on that, all right.

Speaker 10 (01:43:34):
We had to read it in college, and that was
before I knew about wah wah dropping the gobbler. So
now when I want to make an old playwright class
joke with some fellow alums.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
I go, hey, guys, wah wah drop ahead of gobbler.

Speaker 5 (01:43:52):
Hello, Hello, Hello, that's usually how it goes, just like that,
exactly like that, so delayed by a week because of
a turkey recall. There are people who will put wah
wah gobbler in their calendar. Really, and I am one
of those people. I gotta look the sandwich up man.

(01:44:15):
Now Again, it's not for everybody. Thanksgiving on a bunch, yes, okay,
all right, I mean I've had these. You you can
get it however you like.

Speaker 10 (01:44:30):
But when it's hot turkey season, rob And again, I'm
not somebody who likes gooey, messy, you know, food items
that often.

Speaker 5 (01:44:40):
But I'm telling you the wah wah gobbler. You got
a hogi roll, hot turkey you're stuffing on it. There's
cranberry sauce. I like.

Speaker 10 (01:44:51):
I happen to like Thanksgiving food. A lot of people don't.
My wife can't stand it. So like Thanksgiving. Some people
want nothing to do with that food, right, I like
Thanksgiving food. It's simple.

Speaker 4 (01:45:04):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:45:05):
I people jush it up.

Speaker 10 (01:45:06):
I'm just saying that fundamentally, turkey, cranberries, vegetables, stuffing, it's all.

Speaker 2 (01:45:12):
It's all good. So do you do you eat it hot?
Or is it a cold stick?

Speaker 7 (01:45:17):
It is hot.

Speaker 2 (01:45:18):
It's a hot sick.

Speaker 10 (01:45:19):
But you could probably tell them if you are a psychopath. Hey,
could I get a cold gobbler?

Speaker 5 (01:45:25):
Well, I only ask because you don't want turkey or
cranberry sauce to be hot. You eat hot cranberry sauce?
Or do you put that on after it's hot? It's
the hot turkey. Huh, the cranberry sauce. I think they
put gravy on the turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
Yeah, that's what it says. Yeah, no potatoes, listen, I
eat some stuffing. Yeah, I'm not going crazy.

Speaker 10 (01:45:44):
You can get a cold gobbler, but that's the that's
the deli meat instead of them carving off that turkey.

Speaker 5 (01:45:51):
Sure, carving off that hot bird. Yeah, and it looks
like you can also have it served over a bed
of mac and cheese.

Speaker 10 (01:45:59):
That's the gobbler ball, the gobbler, Okay, the gobbler sandwich
is what I'm talking about. If you walk in and
go give me a gobbler, they're gonna hand you the sandwich.
The bowl is when you get the I think it's
mac and chee. I think you're right, Okay, all right,
I was just looking at the options here or for
people who are like I like, I think mashed potatoes

(01:46:19):
are somewhere in there. Obviously, I'm not getting that on
a sandwich. Yeah, I mean I've I've had these Thanksgiving
sandwiches before. That's why I'm I'm so intrigued by why
this one is so good. But I'm not I'm not
adverse to driving to try something. I would, you know,
maybe I'll take a trip. And by the way, as
with any mass produced food item, you're gonna get mixed results.

(01:46:41):
I've had people tell me you're full of it's a
bunch of buwl honky.

Speaker 11 (01:46:46):
Uh huh.

Speaker 5 (01:46:47):
That's exactly what I'm paraphrasing. I still think the cranberry
sauce should go on cold. You could probably ask for it.
Last feels weird. Hey, please put that up? Could I
get that as a side cranbers?

Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
And you could.

Speaker 10 (01:47:00):
Some people are reverse to hot fruit. Yeah, you know,
they don't like a warm berry pie. Now I do,
depending on what I'm doing with it. But I mean
this time of year for it to be delayed a week,
I mean, it looks fantastic. It's a good looking sandwich.
I'm not gonna I'm with you. I'm interested. Yeah, they

(01:47:26):
have a sandwich. You know a lot of places, they
all have their own version, right. I think Get Go
has a sandwich called the Pilgrim. But for tenders to
the throne, if you will, Allan, you go out of
your way to pronounce chiefs with a V.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
And you can't roll your tongue a little bit, you douche.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (01:47:49):
I'm rolling my tongue, Yes you are, Guy Fieri, I'm
rolling my tongue. People are saying that there's a tea.
No even he says that I'm a big hung roller.
Do you know anything about me? Bureau cheeves?

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
Correct? Right, what's the plural of roof roofs? Roofs?

Speaker 10 (01:48:10):
What's the pure plural of chef cheves? Like goat cheese?
I prefer cheeses. And yes, I'll roll my tongue. I mean,
at some point you do get into cultural appropriation, but
you take my point. So yeah, anyway you can find

(01:48:37):
you can find your local turkey sandwich and find a
reasonable facsimile. People go, it's pretty much the same, is it?
Pretty much the same?

Speaker 5 (01:48:53):
Is not instilling me with confidence, and even if it
is with respect, even if it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:59):
Is who I'm looking for.

Speaker 3 (01:49:01):
See.

Speaker 2 (01:49:01):
It all comes down there. Hey, this is pretty much
like what you wanted, is it.

Speaker 5 (01:49:05):
It all comes down to having that moist turkey man. Yeah,
gotta have it moist. If it's dry, it's a trash sandwich.
Doesn't matter how much gravy you put on it. For
thirty eight that is gonna come in handy. Ah.

Speaker 12 (01:49:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
Everybody's saying, oh, they're good the same here, They're good
the same here.

Speaker 14 (01:49:26):
No, they don't.

Speaker 5 (01:49:27):
They don't unless that place has got a sign above
the door that says, wah wah, they don't have.

Speaker 10 (01:49:31):
The same You're wasting your time, Alan, Just go here.
I don't want to go there. I know these places exist.
I know they have some rip off turkey sandwich. I'm
a citizen of the world, I know. But nobody. Have
you ever heard people use the phrase, hey, so and
so dropped the turkey rito?

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
No, anyway, I uh have a boy, I've got to
take a break and look at this.

Speaker 10 (01:50:03):
Getting ahead of myself here, Ellen, I can't get Fietti
and Cincinnati out of my head. Yeah, well that's where
the wahwa is and I've connected the two, but otherwise
they have no connection.

Speaker 11 (01:50:13):
I don't think Ellen.

Speaker 2 (01:50:16):
I was a kid.

Speaker 10 (01:50:17):
My grandfather killed that Thanksgiving turkey himself. I had somebody
shotgun pellets. Well, yeah, you got to get the buckshot
out of your bird. I mean, if you're going to
you know, my neighborhood this time of year, and I
assume it's some kind of guerrilla marketing. How many turkeys
I see this time of year in my neighborhood. It's
not only the deer rob it's also the turkeys. And
I assume that they are are driven out by me,

(01:50:39):
you know, like when you stock a lake with fish.
I assume that they're doing that.

Speaker 5 (01:50:43):
They're just releasing turkeys into the wild because we're coming
up on Thanksgiving. You surely don't want to eat wild turkey.
That's exactly what you do. I'm not going to eat
the wild was Gamey's gross. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:50:57):
Plus, you're never going to get all the pellets.

Speaker 12 (01:51:00):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
You want that big fattink, plump stuck in a cage
raised turkey, that's what you want. Load it up with
all kinds of medications, yes, antibiotics, steroids, one of those
ones with pecks right that they pardon on the White
House lawn.

Speaker 2 (01:51:20):
How many turkeys you get this year one. It's forty
seven pounds. Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:51:24):
I had to buy a new stove just to fit it.
I couldn't get it in there. It built a huge
oven in my backyard. Yeah, get out there in my neighborhood.
I'll show you what's up. Thanksgivings?

Speaker 2 (01:51:38):
What's that?

Speaker 5 (01:51:39):
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I cannot wait. I love Thanksgiving,
love the food, love everything about it. No presence, just
dinner with your family.

Speaker 2 (01:51:49):
YEA, love it. The Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 8 (01:51:57):
Call the Allan Cox Show.

Speaker 12 (01:52:00):
Piece of crap two six seven eight one double seven
or one four eight one double o seven Right.

Speaker 2 (01:52:37):
I know a lot of van.

Speaker 10 (01:52:38):
Halen fans kind of scoffed at Diver Down because it
felt like a lot of leftovers and covers and stuff,
you know, But hang them high man.

Speaker 2 (01:52:47):
That is a great classic van Halen song. I think
people slept on.

Speaker 10 (01:52:54):
Five years ago today Edi van Halen shuffled off his
mortal coil. But I think it was I don't know
if it was an album that van Halen owed the
record company or something.

Speaker 2 (01:53:06):
The record company was like, hey, we need something.

Speaker 10 (01:53:08):
New from it, and these guys were putting out an
album a year for a while, right, and they threw
a bunch of stuff together and it was divered down.
I liked it a lot, but there was some van
Halen fans where like the hell is this because like, oh,
Pretty Woman was a cover and Dancing the Street was
a cover, you know. But there were some really good
Eddie van Halen guitar work on that album. And of course, uh,

(01:53:33):
I think David Lee Roth is a fan of that album. Alright, good, well,
fan of anything he was on. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Cavalier's by the way, preseason tomorrow night on MMS, fresh
off the end of the Guardian season. As always, if

(01:53:55):
we're lucky, there's a little bit of overlap there. Bulls
are in town tomorrow night for the first preseason game,
and then the Calves will go to Chicago to play
them turn about his Fair Play on Thursday night at
the United Center Tomorrow night, seven o'click, Bulls, Calves on
your own hope for Cleveland Cavalier's basketball.

Speaker 5 (01:54:15):
Put you all of us, all the pretty up, the
We're all My Cavalier's songs, get people in the mood.

Speaker 2 (01:54:38):
We're now living. You're welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:54:40):
By the way, somebody email me we were talking a
while ago about band names, right, and I will sometimes
dig into the one that I've compiled over the years,
just dumb crap that I've written, but some people will
send me theirs as well. And I got an email
from Andrew and there's some good ones in here, by
the way, not all of them, but that's true of

(01:55:01):
my list too, when you have that many.

Speaker 2 (01:55:04):
But I always think of people who are starting a band.

Speaker 10 (01:55:08):
I have to think, even if it's not really the
case anymore, because you can just do stuff in your
basement throughout the SoundCloud, I am always heartened when I
see kids they're just grimy and grungey and trying to
put a band together. There were a group of kids
at this Rush thing last night, and for the most
part it was not like an event where you were

(01:55:31):
going to see a bunch of scrubs. But there were
these kids there that were like long T shirts, black
T shirts, long hair. I was like, thank God, those
kids are here, yep, wearing Rush shirts. Right, So Andrew
sends me a list of band names. A couple of
them jumped out that I like umbilical swords. We didn't

(01:55:54):
start the dryer.

Speaker 2 (01:55:58):
Listen.

Speaker 10 (01:55:58):
Wordplay is not a quality band named make But you
never know what you'll stumble onto that somebody else will
hear and go, oh my god, that's not bad. Flock
of keegels. I like that, that's pretty like that. The vomits.
Somebody has to be there, the bottom lips, crotchno. How

(01:56:21):
you feel about that anyway? Thank you, Andrew appreciate that.
Uh what is this people are sending you? Are they
angry with you about your Eddie Vedder hat take?

Speaker 5 (01:56:34):
Yeah, not even a hot take, it's a hat take
catching some stuff earlier, I said pretty much what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:56:39):
Rob are bald, robb you wear hats? I see, yeah,
but that's not they're not telling you anything. You don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:56:46):
That was kind of part and parcel of the whole comment. Right,
Well they are because I'm not bald, just but it
was bald ing still has some hair. Speaking of bald,
young Timothy Misney Esquire will make his triumphant return to
the show on Friday. We haven't had him on the
show in quite some time, but he's always a guy

(01:57:06):
who's got a lot of irons in the fire, legal
and otherwise. And I happen to run into him at
Mike Polk's wedding a couple of weekends, which was a
really star studded event, and then me and so. But
it was good to catch up with him for a
couple of minutes. Always a busy guy. You know, you'll
wait a while if you're at a public function. This

(01:57:26):
was in a public function, but a lot of people there.
But you'll wait awhile if Timothy Disney is at a function,
because everybody wants to talk to that guy. And so
I said, you should come back on we'll chop it up.
And so he'll be in on Friday, and maybe I'll
just whip a bunch of Lindy corn at him. I'll
be my first question, Hey, is there there has to
be some kind of I assume in the legal community

(01:57:50):
there are people who all know each other.

Speaker 11 (01:57:51):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:57:52):
I don't know if they go to people at his
level go to conventions. But any city that you go to,
there will be lee goal billboards. It's what you know
everywhere you go. You could make the argument that the
most concentrated area of American life, as far as billboard goes,
is legal help.

Speaker 5 (01:58:11):
I believe it's soma is what that's called. It's the
secret Society of mascot Attorneys.

Speaker 10 (01:58:18):
Or really, yeah, of mascot attorneys, right. I see Glendy Korn,
she has her thing. He's just I mean, he can
just be an eyebrow, you know what I mean. You
don't need to have anything. You just got like this
mascot thing happened.

Speaker 2 (01:58:31):
I mean, there are people who give themselves names.

Speaker 12 (01:58:34):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:58:34):
When I go in Chicago, obviously it's no different. There
just legal billboards as far as I can see. You know,
there's a guy who specializes in workplace injury calls himself
the hammer.

Speaker 5 (01:58:44):
Oh yeah, call the hammer. It's not enough that, like
you have a name. I guess, you know, I think
you can. There's like companies that will sell like they
it's registered to something like the heavy Hitter is in
every single market.

Speaker 2 (01:58:57):
Oh is that true? Yeah? And you could, Oh you could.
So it's like a friendchise, Yeah, you get the same
phone number six seven seven seven seven.

Speaker 10 (01:59:06):
Well that's the funny thing, too, is when the phone
number is all one digit. Yeah, how am I going
to remember to call eight eight eight eight eight eight
eight eight eight eight? But well then how do you
know which hammer you want to talk to?

Speaker 2 (01:59:18):
The hammer?

Speaker 5 (01:59:19):
So if I call I go hey, could I Yeah,
I got a play. I got into an accident at work.
I need to talk to the hammer.

Speaker 2 (01:59:28):
This is the hammer.

Speaker 11 (01:59:30):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:59:35):
Oh well, I was in I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana,
home of the Fox Island Nature Preserve.

Speaker 11 (01:59:50):

Speaker 10 (01:59:54):
Yes, no, I'm trying to get in touch with the
with the Fort Wayne Oh please, Jesus hello, I'm just

that I like there's some alliteration to that. I'll talk
to the harm listen. I live in Fort Wayne. But
I'll hold I'll hold either the Hartford hammer, is what

(02:00:19):
you said? Yes, I guess do you do any work?
Are you licensed to practice in the state of Indiana?

Speaker 2 (02:00:24):

Speaker 5 (02:00:27):
Hold on, please, Hi, this is the Iowa hammer. I'm

I just need the Fort Wayne hammer.

Speaker 2 (02:00:45):
Oh, this is the Indianapolis Hammer. Right state, wrong city.

Speaker 5 (02:00:48):
Hold on, God, Jesus, I'd say close enough.

Speaker 10 (02:00:53):
I'm fine with the Indianapolis Hammer. That's the guy who's
probably gonna help Mark Sanchez. Hey, did you try to
hijack a guy with fryer oil in his arms?

Speaker 2 (02:01:06):
Guy answers, the phone is the Indie Hammer. How can
I help you? Hello by Indie Hammer here, No Jesus.

Speaker 10 (02:01:13):
And we were talking about that Mark Sanchez thing before.
A guy was like, I work, you know, like I
go around and have to get like cooking oil and
stuff like that, and if anybody were like stepping up
to me, they get a face full of oil, That's
what would freak me out. I know Mark Sanchez was drunk,
and he was, you know, otherwise incapacitated. But they're like,

(02:01:37):
I clean friars overnight downtown, handling hot oil, and you're
running to drunk people and homeless people, and it's like
they don't know that you You could be spraying three
hundred and fifty degree oil at them. But I wouldn't
f with anybody doing that. Mark Sanchez, though, gets right
in there, drunk, laces out. Yeah, yeah, Rob can serve

(02:02:06):
duck for Thanksgiving. Nope, see what they did there, I do.

Speaker 5 (02:02:12):
I still want to try a tur duncan ducan tur
ducan to say tur duncan du turn duncan tur ducan.
It's a big Joe Montana thing. No, no, no, no,
John Madden thing. He would talk about that every years.
It's a duck stuffed with turds. I think that's what
it is. Right, It's a very very acquired take inside

(02:02:32):
of a turkey.

Speaker 8 (02:02:33):
Right.

Speaker 10 (02:02:34):
Yeah, if you're into cop profagia, as it were, you'll
have a great, great Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (02:02:43):
I do love duck, just not those ducks. Well, it
can be oily.

Speaker 15 (02:02:47):
You know.

Speaker 10 (02:02:48):
Duck is a gamble. Depending on where you get it,
it can be a gamble. I'm not prone to making
that gamble. I'm okay with no duck.

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
You don't like duck. Alan Robb's whole thing with the
Eddie vetter hats cut you off warning people against were wolves.

Speaker 10 (02:03:06):
I don't know that that did cut me off. I
think my werewolf discussion had come to a logical conclusion,
by the way, which is simply that with the super moon,
you know, full moons last night night before the super moon,
except for tomorrow night I was merely pointing out that
the people I'm most concerned about are not, you know,

(02:03:26):
budding astronomers or people at NASA. People I'm most concerned
about are the people who are in werewolf heavy areas.
I don't know where the hot zips are for that,
but they are around with.

Speaker 2 (02:03:39):
Staten Island, right. Isn't that where they all are in?
Uh you're thinking of vampires?

Speaker 5 (02:03:44):
Yeah, but don't they isn't there a huge werewolf popular
there to mad contingent there at Staten Island. I think
they had the fights in the front yard made Yes,
were wolves Tucson.

Speaker 2 (02:03:55):
Yes here, I started going, thank you that. Uh yeah,
so listen uh wear wolves. Yes, just be careful.

Speaker 10 (02:04:12):
And if you want to listen to us on the
iHeartRadio app, that's how you consume this. Yeah, keep in
mind you can always leave us messages.

Speaker 11 (02:04:20):
Hey, Allen, Rob.

Speaker 3 (02:04:22):
I was just wondering after listening to the podcast for
Friday with Brian's rendition of Lion Eyes, I was wondering,
what are you thought on why there were so many
songs referring to eyes in the seventies and eighties, like
ryon Eyes, Tiger Eyes. I just don't understand it was
there a bare eyes.

Speaker 10 (02:04:44):
I'm not sure you get what he's doing. Yeah, you
get what he's doing. There he's talking about Brian singing
lion eyes and bare eyes. It was lying eyes, Lion eyes,
Lie Lie from Eagles, Lying Eyes. That was what Brian
sang us last week. One of the songs that he
sang us last week was lion Eyes.

Speaker 5 (02:05:07):
Just lie and as and your small's this thing?

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
This gush as up fan. Now youh'd real.

Speaker 14 (02:05:19):
Lie, but there ain't no way to had does lie lie.

Speaker 2 (02:05:26):
Beauty? I'll tell you what.

Speaker 10 (02:05:29):
If I were able to send that to Henley and Company,
I bet they would consider that an appropriate homage. But yeah, listen,
a lot of songs about eyes. It's not it's not
a genre or times. Listen, eyes are what the windows
to the soul?

Speaker 2 (02:05:48):
Rob right?

Speaker 10 (02:05:50):
Betty Davis Eyes. Remember Kim Carnes had her one massive
hit with a song called Betty Davis Eyes.

Speaker 5 (02:05:55):
I still don't know what the hell that means. Was
on the radio every four seconds when I was younger.
She's yeah, Bisha.

Speaker 10 (02:06:04):
Our friend William Broad had a big hit with eyes
without a Faith. Remember Jeff Heally, Remember the late Jeff heally,
this is a blind guitarist. He had a song called
Angel Eyes that was his one big hit, so the
but He's dead, Yeah, Jeff Healey. Yeah, the Jeff Healey
Band was a big deal for a while because he
was a white guy. You kind of couldn't tell but

(02:06:24):
he was blind. And then the more people learned, They're like,
oh my god, this guy was a great guitar player.

Speaker 2 (02:06:29):
A lot of songs about you. The who covered olymp
Biscuit song called behind Blue.

Speaker 5 (02:06:33):
Eyes, remember that, yep, in your eyes, in your Eyes, Yes,
a fantastic song.

Speaker 2 (02:06:40):
Now, the seventies did have a lot of songs about eyes. Yep.

Speaker 9 (02:06:45):
There was.

Speaker 10 (02:06:48):
Doctor Hook. Remember doctor Hook. It was a lot of
songs about like, you know, you were in the tail
end of free love. You were in a lot of
hookup singles, bars, just trying to find somebody who loved
pina coladas and.

Speaker 5 (02:07:04):
Sexy eyes number sexy eyes, the doctor Hook. Weren't they
called the Medicine Show or something.

Speaker 8 (02:07:11):
That they would dancing.

Speaker 5 (02:07:16):
They were these guys in the club or the bar
and he's feeling lonely, another loneliness for him.

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
But he saw some sexy eyes.

Speaker 7 (02:07:27):
What sexy eyes.

Speaker 5 (02:07:42):
Now, if you were to quote that song to someone,
they probably have no idea. What the hell you were
talking about? Is that most beautiful seventies song about eyes?
And crossed eyed, Cross Eyed Mary Jeff Tall? Just a
beautiful song about eyes? What about cotton did Joe?

Speaker 3 (02:08:01):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:08:01):
Yes, right, yes, nobody knew where this guy came from
and nobody knew where he ran off to.

Speaker 10 (02:08:08):
Yeah, but he was a cotton eyed Joe. And so
what about bunny eyes? I had some dead ones in
my backyard. I had into it and they were still
in the animal's head. The whole animal was dead, I
should say, not just the eyes. But did you watch
Bad Bunny on SNL?

Speaker 2 (02:08:28):
I did not.

Speaker 10 (02:08:29):
Bad Bunny was the host and musical guest there for
the fifty first season premiere of Saturday Night Live, And
of course he's been in the news because there are
people screaming and whining about Bad Bunny being the Super
Bowl halftime show artist, and so he was talking about

(02:08:49):
that in his monologue on SNL.

Speaker 2 (02:08:51):
I'm doing the Super Bowl half done show. I'm very happy.

Speaker 17 (02:08:58):
I'm very happy, and I think everyone is happy about it,
even even folks news.

Speaker 2 (02:09:08):
Bad Bunny, this is my.

Speaker 10 (02:09:09):
Favorite musician and president say a little super cut action
with him. How about that, Bad Bunny. I don't know
this guy's music. I've seen him more in movies than
i've heard him sing. But for the people screaming, you've
probably seen the meme by now. For the people who

(02:09:32):
are screaming that it's disrespectful to have someone who is
not an American citizen hosting the Super Bowl halftime show,
he's of course Puerto Rican, which means he is the
only American citizen in a long line of Super Bowl
halftime performers who have not been as though that matters,
but I guess to some people that is the height

(02:09:53):
of something I don't know. But Bad Bunny, there's no
way you're going to do SNL and then not talk
about it, And so he did. Now I didn't watch
that episode. I'll have to go back and catch up.
I'm going to try to get back on the SNL wagon.
I was on for a long time when everybody else
had bailed, and then I finally bailed. But I'm interested

(02:10:16):
to see some of the new people that are in,
see how they're doing it. Private Eyes by Hollanoates.

Speaker 2 (02:10:22):
Yes, yes, eyes without a face.

Speaker 8 (02:10:26):
Yes, The Allen Cox Show on one hundreds.

Speaker 2 (02:10:34):
Oh zimp it is expensive. I want to really lose
your appetite. You've come to.

Speaker 8 (02:10:40):
The right place. It's The Allen Cox Show on one
hundred point seven DOUBLEMMS.

Speaker 10 (02:10:56):
Two five seven eight one double oh seven. If you
want to join us live or one hundred and three
four eight one seven three five two forms to be
a text Alancoxshow dot com everything else wmms dot com
and gets you hip to what's going on with the
Rush Show. By the way, Rob and I were at
the Rock Hall last night for Rush Look Q and

(02:11:16):
A with Alex Leifson and Keeddy Lee, the end of
which they revealed that they would be doing seven cities,
Cleveland included. So September seventeenth of next year is going
to be the show here. We will have tickets for
you to win. So WMMS dot com for all of
the details. Neil Pert being replaced by an amazing German
named Anaka Niles. She is from Germany and if you

(02:11:37):
have followed her for any length of time on social media,
she is fully legit. She's toured with a lot of
other acts and she was put in touch with Miss
years Lee and Lifson and they hit it off, and
so they're going to be taking her out on the road,
but they're they're kind of billing it as you know,
ten years later, after they've finished their last tour with

(02:12:00):
neil Pert, that it's kind of they really came to
realize how much they enjoyed playing those songs again and
that they wanted to do it. You know, they got
the they got the thumbs up from neil Pert's family
and and so I can't imagine it would have gone
any other way. But after a decade they decided that
they're going to go back out. So they're only doing

(02:12:22):
about twelve shows in seven cities, one of which, of course,
is Cleveland. If you listen to us on iHeart Radio,
there's no shortage of people who want to drop messages
for us.

Speaker 6 (02:12:35):
Rob I's a thing. Can't hide that brown eye from
my wife. It was the greatest time ever we'd run
around house naked and chase each other. It was the greatest.

Speaker 12 (02:12:50):
Cheated on me.

Speaker 2 (02:12:51):
So in the end, I guess she was hiding those
lying eyes. Say again, sounds like she wasn't brown eye though.

Speaker 10 (02:13:02):
Would you ever chase your woman naked around the house
hell's no, No, that's a lot of flopping. That's not
I mean, listen, ladies, do what you want.

Speaker 5 (02:13:15):
I'm not chasing anybody naked around the house in any
kind of you do you, but just the visual of
that alone, and he's singing an Eagles parody to her.

Speaker 2 (02:13:27):
I'm sure she was so happy about it. Well, listen
she it sounds like it was with her consent. I
love what he sings about my brown eye. That's so great.

Speaker 5 (02:13:35):
He chases me naked around the house both well, he
starts out naked, I start out fully clothed, and then
he'll occasionally catch up to me and remove an article,
and then I'll keep running and it's.

Speaker 2 (02:13:46):
Like a strip raith.

Speaker 5 (02:13:47):
So much fun, a lot of fun. Listen, it's still
went south for him.

Speaker 2 (02:13:53):
That sucks.

Speaker 10 (02:13:55):
Speaking a round and I mentioned on Friday they were
doing the Taco Bell fifty k. They're in Denver thirty
one miles, but it involved mandatory stops at ten area
Taco bells along the way where you had to order
and eat Taco Bell. And one woman posted some of

(02:14:16):
her retail Okay, we're.

Speaker 4 (02:14:18):
Going to eat nine meals of Taco Bell while we
run thirty one miles starting with his taco at seven am.

Speaker 2 (02:14:24):
Serus, I'm scars, so we.

Speaker 7 (02:14:27):
Can we gardy to go.

Speaker 10 (02:14:28):
Mind you, these are it's not people who eat a
lot of taco bell running a fifty k. It's people
who run fifty k's eating a lot of taco bell
and so these are people who are in runner's shape,
and they probably didn't eat anything.

Speaker 2 (02:14:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (02:14:45):
Maybe they carbloaded. There's plenty of that in taco bell food,
so maybe it worked out for him. But for the
most part, I'm having my first taco.

Speaker 2 (02:14:54):
It's seven oh five. I'm having my first bout of
bells dress. Yeah, well that's a thing. Oh how did
that go down?

Speaker 5 (02:15:03):
But by all accounts, I think the people who took
part in it had a pretty good time. How long
does that? Does that video go all the way to
the end? M let me see, Yeah, yeah, I'll show
you some more. Yeah sure, ummmm oh we run.

Speaker 4 (02:15:24):
Thirty one miles starting with this taco. I use you
roll up. That has been in my belt for the
past five miles, just the sated you think it would be.
And I talked about there's one where you don't have
to eat. So we're making this slot creating nerves. Lassus said, Okay,
I guess what my thirty.

Speaker 10 (02:15:44):
Yeah, they went to the very end and she won
the well, I don't know she won the whole thing.
I think it's just a matter of if if you finish,
probably with your running shorts intact, unmolested by seriously I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:15:59):
Everybody it doesn't crap their pants, win or do get
a medal.

Speaker 10 (02:16:03):
Yeah, they were probably a handful of people who were
running into gastro intestinal distress.

Speaker 2 (02:16:11):
So yeah, a lot of people are posting about it.

Speaker 10 (02:16:14):
One person said, I almost threw up choking down the
chelupa Supreme at stopped four because I kind of briefly
read you some of the list what they had to
do on Friday. The race was Saturday. They're in Denver,
and it specified what you had to eat. They're like,
if you get a drink that doesn't count as food.

Speaker 2 (02:16:34):
You got to do this and this and this.

Speaker 10 (02:16:36):
So they're really kind of trying to load it in
their favor in trying to get people to empty their bowels.

Speaker 2 (02:16:46):
People crap themselves in regular marathons, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (02:16:50):
Yeah, you'll have people caught on camera, you know, with
the you know, brown rivulets down the inside of their thighs,
and that's got to be fun too, But.

Speaker 2 (02:17:05):
A lot of people ran in it.

Speaker 10 (02:17:08):
Some people get a stomach ache just from taco bell
or from running. Putting the two of them together, reporting
the men from the boys, I guess.

Speaker 2 (02:17:20):
That's the real iron man right there.

Speaker 5 (02:17:21):
Forget about that whole bite swim run thing you do
thirty miles eating taco bell all.

Speaker 10 (02:17:27):
Well, like, even if you run pretty regularly and kind
of lock down your diet, I would think that any
variation of it, right, pick any place like that and
then make somebody eat their food. It's not even an
indictment of Taco Bell. It's just them going, yeah, this
is different than what I normally eat, and I'm running,
you know.

Speaker 5 (02:17:46):
Well for sure, yeah, yeah, you go to any place
you don't normally eat, that's going to be an issue.

Speaker 10 (02:17:53):
I work next to one of the Taco bells on
the route. My coworkers and I were very confused because
we didn't know what was going on, and we saw
so many people running with taco bell bags. This is
the thing too, They never give right, somebody else comes
up with it, but they don't tell the locations about it.

Speaker 2 (02:18:11):
This happens all the time in our business.

Speaker 10 (02:18:14):
Or we'll have an appearance booked and so the people
who've booked us have told us, but they haven't informed
the place right, or they informed someone at the place
that's just not but they didn't disseminate that information to
their staff. Every time, you will get there and the
manager will be like, I didn't even know you guys
were coming. It's like, yeah, well, I guess you know,

(02:18:37):
somebody on that end didn't tell somebody else when it
would be I know, it's more work, but it's also
like it would be a lot more fun if like
all the Taco Bell locations were like in on it.

Speaker 2 (02:18:49):
You know, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (02:18:51):
Maybe the person who comes up with dumb crap like
this is like, if I get them involved, they're gonna.

Speaker 2 (02:18:56):
Want X, Y and Z.

Speaker 5 (02:18:57):
There's gonna be stuff we can't do, you know, if
you're doing some dy dumb run like.

Speaker 2 (02:19:01):
This forgiveness instead of permission.

Speaker 10 (02:19:03):
Yeah, but for a lot of people, they just couldn't
get their heads around how you could. You know, somebody
said I accidentally ate too much one time before a
five K and I wanted to die from stomach cramps.
So I'm not even sure how running thirty one miles
and eating taco Bell. Of course, for a lot of
those runners, are you know, if they're just just getting
like a Chiloupa Supreme. It's a lot of tortilla, a

(02:19:25):
lot of carbs. It's like they're probably you know, burning
a lot of that off anyway, or you get.

Speaker 2 (02:19:29):
To the end and you swallowing bean burritos, you and
you pooped.

Speaker 10 (02:19:36):
But imagine, by the way, the people who also don't
know about the run, they just want taco Bell, so
they pull up and there's like an hour long wait
to get food.

Speaker 2 (02:19:46):
Yeah, I'm not going to this. Everyone's on foot.

Speaker 10 (02:19:49):
Yeah, So like the only customers you're gonna have for
those ten locations are these dumb runners. One of our

(02:20:29):
great fallen local artists, young man named Matt Bond, who
died about.

Speaker 2 (02:20:35):
Probably eight years ago.

Speaker 10 (02:20:37):
Last spring, I had a great band out of Akron
called Miamio Kittie and Digital Women. If this guy couldn't
foresee the future, I don't know who could. But yes,
downloading your women and there's a bitcoin on the nightstand.

Speaker 2 (02:20:59):
Gone to so men, Yeah, get out of my house.

Speaker 10 (02:21:08):
But musically man, shades of chic and everything else you love.
Some keyboards thrown in. I was thinking of digital women
from Kitty when I was reading everybody flipping their wig
over this AI actress who they say some talent agencies

(02:21:30):
want to represent. I don't know how that works, but
real life flesh and blood actresses must be like screaming
their heads off, because you know, they had to take
real actresses to make an AI composite is just taking
huge data sets in forming things from that, and they
gave her a name that sounds like it's supposed to

(02:21:51):
be confusing.

Speaker 2 (02:21:52):
Tillie Norwood is this AI actress?

Speaker 10 (02:21:56):
And listen, there's only one or two boxes you want
to check for actresses in Hollywood. Don't age and don't
complain about anything. And boy, when you know she checks
both of those boxes. One of the agents who was
interested in this, and you know.

Speaker 5 (02:22:15):
People will throw their hands up and go, well, listen,
this technology is here.

Speaker 11 (02:22:19):
We can't do anything about it.

Speaker 10 (02:22:22):
The story in the Hollywood reporters that talent agents were
all circling to sign a fake person, right, not the
first of her kind, maybe for the actress in the
Hollywood machine, but they are all kinds of you know,
they're AI influences who are making tons of money because
it turns out if you're preaching to a largely male audience,

(02:22:42):
they don't care if she's real or not. And so
there are One of the top influencers on social media
is an AI generated female. I think she's a pop
singer or something like that, but not real AI created
and Tilly Norwood is this AI actress and the headline

(02:23:03):
cracked me up. Studios quietly embrace AI technology. You can
read that as the sooner we can replace pesky humans.
And this is true of any business. I think that
actors and actresses and things like that. You know, AI
came for the special effects side a while ago, and
I think that people who are live humans in the

(02:23:26):
creative space Present Company included. You know, we've talked about
radio companies that are rolling out AI air talent okay,
which is most easily shoehorned on like a station where
they're just telling you what song you heard. I rationalize
it rob by saying it would be really tough to

(02:23:46):
replace us. Now I know that's probably not true. They
could probably do that with AI. AI has not gotten
to the point yet where you're not going to have
some uncanny valley by the way, but an AI talent
studio in California launched this AI actress and they've named

(02:24:07):
her Tilly Norwood. I guess that sounds like it would
be a real person. I mean, the name was probably
also generated by an algorithm. But she looks like a
hundred other actresses. She looks like she'd be perfect on
Game of Thrones. She has kind of a vaguely European
look to her.

Speaker 5 (02:24:25):
I guess, now, do you think there was a talent
agency actually interested or was this them trying to bring
up attention for it?

Speaker 2 (02:24:32):
Correct?

Speaker 10 (02:24:32):
I don't think that there was one talent agency, well,
not one that would go on record. I guarantee you
they all hit this woman up. The woman's name is
Eleen van der Velden. She is the CEO of what
she calls an AI focused production company. And if you're
on that side of it, you're gonna want to see
how far you can get. And so she launched an

(02:24:54):
AI talent studio. Yeah, so this woman is a very
small fish in an otherwise pretty large pond, and this
is a great way to get your name out there.
That talent agents were looking to sign this, which I
assume means the woman running the studio would get the
lion's share of the of the money. However, I don't

(02:25:17):
think that the talent agents have been doing it. I
guarantee you she's gotten calls from the big agencies and
they all say the same thing, right, because they really
out of the gate don't want people freaking out about AI,
so they'll make something up. Oh, this isn't about replacing humans.
This is about supporting humans and their endeavors. Right, it's

(02:25:40):
not going to make your job obsolete. It's going to
be there to help you do your job better. It's
all nonsense. It's all made up every sector of business.
The faster they can get rid of people with AI,
the happier they'll be. And so when they frame it
in such a way, oh it's this woman's like it's
a piece of art. She sparks a conversation blah blah

(02:26:01):
blah blah. That's code for I don't want to kill
this thing in the crib because I need another rounding
of VC cash. So let's see if we can, you know,
get studios to pay us money or whatever. So, yeah,
the studios on the technical side. AI has replaced a
lot of people. And if your business is more fragmented

(02:26:25):
than it's ever been, you understand why studios are be like, oh,
so we could do this for thirty dollars and not
thirty thousand.

Speaker 2 (02:26:31):
Okay, people will get used to it, and so she
is correct. I mean it is a new tool. It's
a new paint brush, right.

Speaker 1 (02:26:42):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (02:26:43):
AI can never take away the craft or the joy
of human performance. Blah blah blah. Make your own whack
off sign there.

Speaker 10 (02:26:52):
Because of course they're like, hey, here's somebody who can
put in your movies. And I think they ran an
advertisement for her during the Academy Awards. Obviously threw it
out on social media. So a lot of people I
think were even if they didn't know quite what it was,
they might have seen it already.

Speaker 2 (02:27:11):
It's just not perfect yet. They're they're not there yet.

Speaker 10 (02:27:16):
It's better than it's ever been, but I just don't know.
I mean, AI now is really really good. There's all
kinds of AI slop on the internet, and that's kind
of getting people. I was reading an article this morning
they said this might be there where hit peak social
media because social media isn't really fun anymore. And social

(02:27:38):
media use is in decline everywhere except the United States,
you know, fifty countries around the world, hundreds of thousands
of millions of users. Social media use is in decline.
You know, you think back to the remember everybody freaking
about about the cracker barrel logo. They determined most of

(02:28:00):
that was not real at all. Now, if you were
to use more than a couple of brain cells, you
and I could figure that out that most living, breathing
people aren't freaking out about the crew. Even though weirdest
red hat folks out there, they're really not freaking out
about the cracker barrel.

Speaker 2 (02:28:17):
Logo, probably some of them.

Speaker 10 (02:28:19):
But they determined that like ninety percent of that was bots,
that the cracker barrel thing, as with so many other things,
because rage is what prints the money. Is that the
whole cracker barrel outrage machine, it was like ninety percent
bots on social media. And so whether or not you
know the numbers, I think fewer and fewer people are

(02:28:44):
enthralled with social media and so they're starting to see
that that it's not like old school fun anymore. It's
just people screaming at each other, and it's you know,
you still kind of curate your own experience, but even
that's getting harder and harder to do. So they're finding
that social media usage around the world is gone into decline. Now,

(02:29:07):
of course TikTok is set to become an American company.
Everybody was dunking on Trump the kids because he was
back saying, oh, you kids, you're welcome. I saved TikTok,
and they're like, release the Epstein files, which is the
only appropriate response to anything he says. And so the
kids are showing the sharpest decline in social media usage,

(02:29:28):
which is no shock either, but even older you know,
gen xers and somemillennials.

Speaker 2 (02:29:33):
I was talking to somebody the other day.

Speaker 10 (02:29:34):
I was actually talking to my ex wife because I
was going to driving to Michigan's Saturday to see my
daughter perform Saturday night, and so my ex wife called, well,
I was in the car, make sure that everything was
because I was picking my daughter up, make sure everything
was running smoothly. And we were making small talk, and
she mentioned that she had deleted her Facebook account, and
I'm like, I would love to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:29:55):
I always can't. I would love to do that. The
only time I'm ever on Facebook is when.

Speaker 10 (02:30:00):
I'm looking at the show page, answering people's messages or
anything like that. I go on my own Facebook page,
probably quarterly, and I know there's still a lot of
people on there. It is a great place to engage,
you know, not only our audience, but like other it

(02:30:20):
just doesn't occur to me that often. I guess for
the purposes of the show, I should be more diligent
with it.

Speaker 2 (02:30:28):
But I'm like, I guess.

Speaker 10 (02:30:32):
So between the AI slop, which, let's be real, a
lot of it it's very entertaining. But when that's what
most of it becomes, and that's the stuff that's clearly
goofy AI. What's really gonna jam people up is now
every video you see, you go, did he actually say that?

Speaker 9 (02:30:51):
Right?

Speaker 10 (02:30:51):
No matter who it is, right, Trump is so crazy
that everything you see you go, yeah, he probably did
say that, but you still have to kind of be
diligent and go, okay, but is that real? And every
video I see now my immediate thought is, well, I
don't know, did that person say that? So it's it's

(02:31:12):
gonna get real, real hard for people. I mean to
determine what's real what's not. And a lot of people's
response to that is gonna be goodbye. Yeah, but that's
why am I messing with this. I'll just delete my account.

Speaker 5 (02:31:26):
That's exactly what they want, though, they want the people
that aren't going to say goodbye, the people that are
so into the back and forth nonsense on social media.

Speaker 2 (02:31:35):
That's fine.

Speaker 10 (02:31:36):
Let all those people scream at each other all day long.
I that's fine. Nor all the platforms just become those
people cannibalizing each other and them befront me.

Speaker 5 (02:31:45):
Well, I mean, that's gonna be a huge chunk of it,
But you're also gonna see a lot of like this
is where the misinformation thing is about to get really, really,
really bad, because you're not gonna be able to tell Look,
there's a massive chunk of people that get their new
from stupid social media posts. So when these things become indistinguishable,
there's going to be a humongous problem. Oh I watched

(02:32:07):
this video yesterday and I saw Joe Biden set a
baby on fire. Right, Well, no, no, I don't think
that happened. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen. That's where
we're headed.

Speaker 10 (02:32:18):
Well, not only that, but we are at a point
where you can't change people's minds with facts, That's what
I mean. So when you go look, that's very clearly
not this.

Speaker 2 (02:32:26):
No I saw it.

Speaker 5 (02:32:27):
It's like a circular argument. I'm looking at it right now.
It's on my computer.

Speaker 10 (02:32:32):
So the only place apparently in the world where social
media isn't in free fall. It's declining, but not in
free falls North America, because Americans love to scream at
each other and the AI slop will increase a pace
with that, you know, and.

Speaker 2 (02:32:52):
They try to kind of cute see it up.

Speaker 10 (02:32:54):
You know, platforms that we all use, right there's oh,
Google AI and Meta and all these companies that are
in bed. They either have their own AI departments or
they work with companies like open AI or you know.
So it's going to be unavoidable in a lot of ways.
But my thought is still, as far as social media goes,

(02:33:17):
that might be one place where you can, you know,
pull your shoot and bail.

Speaker 2 (02:33:23):
And some people are starting to. For me, it's all
Instagram reels.

Speaker 5 (02:33:27):
I will spend an hour flipping through reels just laughing
at stupid brain rot videos. I can't help that's That's
what The only time I ever use social media that's
what I'm doing The Allen Cox Show on.

Speaker 8 (02:33:38):
One hundred seven call the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 5 (02:33:44):
Pay attention to notice the reverse of everything that is
normal becoming abnormal.

Speaker 12 (02:33:50):
Two one to sixty five seven eight one double oh
seven or one eight three four eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 2 (02:34:26):
Andy van Halen.

Speaker 10 (02:34:27):
Gone five years today, Dave, you're still mourning. He's excited
for the AI actresses to show up. Think about when
everyone's using AI in their everyday, regular life, right, Like,
it's not just other people making AI slop. It's not

(02:34:47):
people just putting out fake news or misinformation or disinformation.

Speaker 2 (02:34:53):
When you and I can put together a video of us.

Speaker 10 (02:34:58):
As David Lee Roth, it's just us singing, right You
and I could be on stage with a pleasure of pleasure.
Take two, You and I could be on stage with
a pleather wrapped cashew.

Speaker 2 (02:35:17):
Golly day.

Speaker 7 (02:35:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:35:20):
I know.

Speaker 2 (02:35:22):
Those videos just keep getting worse and worse.

Speaker 10 (02:35:24):
Man him singing, and then they have like the isolated
audio from the board even that I wonder if that's real.

Speaker 2 (02:35:30):
Maybe yeah, yeah, maybe not. I don't know, but uh,
you know, I gotta tell you.

Speaker 10 (02:35:36):
She's got a new movie coming out on Friday, and
with all this Michigan as about AI actresses, you know
who I was reminded of that I love so much
Julia Roberts. It's so easy to forget about Julia Roberts
because she's been around for so long, and she's been
so constant, and you know, her movies aren't exactly like

(02:35:59):
necessarily Marquee movies anymore. The one she's got coming out
on Friday is a bit more not an independent film,
but I mean it's it's not like some Blockbuster or something,
you know, owned a pretty woman and Aaron Brockovich and
all that kind of stuff you forget. I think she's
a practicing Hindu. I think she and her husband are Hindu.

(02:36:23):
They follow that religion and they have a guru and
all that kind of stuff. But I think Julia Roberts
is lovely. When I was in college, she was shooting
a movie on campus. It's called flat Liners, and they
were shooting it around Chicago and part of it on
the Northwestern campus, and it was her and you know

(02:36:47):
whoever the hip kids were of the time. It was
like Key for Sutherland and Kevin Bacon I think was
in a flat Liners. She was Tinkerbell and hook back
in the day. That's, of course the biopic about the
band Doctor Hook, who did Sexy Eyes that I played
for yea earlier. And you know, I'm not a big

(02:37:10):
rom com guy. They usually don't get me where I
want to be got. But she did a movie called
Nodding Hill. This is a twenty five year old movie.
It's her, it's Hugh Grant in full nineties Hugh Grant mode, right,
floppy hair. Well, you know, Hugh Grant is kind of

(02:37:34):
having a late stage renaissance now he's a much darker
figure in these films and he's great. Still love Hugh Grant.
He's dynamite in everything. But they did a movie called
Notting Hill and Rob I was enchanted, I don't mind
telling you enchanted by Nodding Hill. Julie Roberts playing kind

(02:37:55):
of a version of herself. She's a very famous actress
around the world. You Grant, a regular guy runs a
bookstore and they fall in love. It was the highest
grossing British film of all time twenty five years ago.

Speaker 5 (02:38:11):
I don't know if it's still the case. But they
got like a bunch of nominations and I don't think
anybody won anything.

Speaker 10 (02:38:19):
But oh, rob classic Fish out of Water story, massive hit,
maybe like half a billion dollars, which you've never seen,
nodding it.

Speaker 2 (02:38:31):
That doesn't surprise me.

Speaker 10 (02:38:32):
I'm sure theres a lot of people that haven't seen
it or it's not really their thing, it's not normally
my thing. I just remember seeing it in the theater,
probably with my wife, and I was just like, man,
this movie is just so sweet.

Speaker 2 (02:38:49):
Loved it.

Speaker 10 (02:38:52):
But Julia Roberts is I don't know why she crossed
my mind. Maybe I saw an ad for or write
up on this she's.

Speaker 11 (02:39:00):
Got coming out.

Speaker 10 (02:39:01):
But she is delightful, seems like a nice person. I've
never met her, I've never spoken to her, but you know,
I'm happy that she's still doing the stuff she was
in those Ocean eleven movies. You know, she's tight with
Clooney and I think she won an Oscar for Aaron Brockovic.

Speaker 2 (02:39:23):
That was a good movie.

Speaker 10 (02:39:24):
Aaron Brockovic was great, the late Albert Finney one of
my favorite British actors in that film. But yeah, Julia Roberts,
good for her still doing stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:39:40):
And she's like a little bit older than me. I
think Julie Roberts, she's not sixty yet, is she? Well,
I bet you she's close. She's fifty seven years old,
so she will turn fifty eight the end of this month.
Her new movie is called After the Hunt.

Speaker 10 (02:40:00):
The director is that Luca Guaggadino, right, He's a hot
director right now. He's a guy that did Call Me
by your Name. He did Challengers, he did uh uh
he and Chalome. Yeah, Chalome's his little muse or something.
He did that Suspirior reboot. This guy's a hot director
right now.

Speaker 2 (02:40:20):
And so he's.

Speaker 5 (02:40:22):
Got the new Julia Roberts film coming out on Friday?
Is it theatrical release?

Speaker 7 (02:40:29):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (02:40:30):
Yes, I didn't know if it was a uh I know,
Netflix only? Yeah, no, in theaters now. I don't know
locally who would be showing it. But it's called After
the Hunt and it's a story about a professor that
is accused. I don't think it's Julia Roberts' character, but
the story is about a professor who is accused of

(02:40:53):
doing something of an unwanted nature. Andrew Garfield a Dibbery who.

Speaker 2 (02:41:01):
You know from the Bear and Big Mouth.

Speaker 3 (02:41:08):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:41:08):
Is she the chef?

Speaker 5 (02:41:09):
She is?

Speaker 2 (02:41:10):
Okay? Yeah, she's Sydney. She's very funny.

Speaker 10 (02:41:13):
Yeah, she came from comedy in sketch, I think, and
all that, but she ended up on the bear, which
is still being called a comedy.

Speaker 2 (02:41:18):
But okay, But Julia Roberts lovely as ever. And I mean,
look at her. Look at Eric.

Speaker 10 (02:41:27):
Her brother got those Roberts jeans, right, He's a good
looking dude, Eric Roberts. We talk about the lottery a
lot in this show because there's always a lottery going on.
But across the pond, one guy won the lottery and
he is another one of those cautionary tales. A guy
named Adam Lopez one lottery in the UK. Now again,

(02:41:50):
I don't consider one point three million dollars life changing money.

Speaker 2 (02:41:55):
Maybe that sounds silly.

Speaker 10 (02:41:57):
I'm just saying that if you are prone to really
not knowing what to do with money, you are going
to blow through that money. It's not a billion dollars,
it's one point three I don't know how they do
it Overseas. You know, the tax rate up there over
there is much higher because they have universal health care.

Speaker 2 (02:42:16):
As most developed nations do.

Speaker 10 (02:42:18):
Rob Nevertheless, this guy wins one point three million dollars.
Let's say it's similar to over here, right, the guy's
probably going home with sixty six hundred yees, probably less
than that. A thirty nine year old forklift driver. In
July of this past year, he said he had fewer

(02:42:39):
than twenty dollars twenty pounds in his bank account, and
he bought a bunch of scratch off tickets and he
won one point three million dollars, and this guy started spending.
He said, I really wish I hadn't quit my job.
That was a mistake. Yeah, So he bought to range

(02:43:00):
rovers for himself and his mom bought a family vacation
to Barbados, which again doesn't sound like that's going to
cut too much in, but he's like, quitting my job
was a mistake, because he said.

Speaker 2 (02:43:14):
That was that he lost the structure in his day
to day life.

Speaker 10 (02:43:18):
You know a lot of people lament it, but if
you had money in the background, that structure might be good.
Go to work, come home, whatever it is, right, And
he said that his life did a complete one to
eighty after winning that money. And it was three months
later that he looked around and he was like, I

(02:43:41):
ended up in the hospital at a pulmonary embolism, and
I was really blown through that money. He was in
the hospital for a couple of weeks. It's going to
take a month to recover. Now again, this is in England.
This guy's not going to go broke because he got sick.
Over here, you'd absolutely go broke because you got sick.

(02:44:03):
But the big picture, he's like, ah, I'm gonna dial
back the spending.

Speaker 2 (02:44:09):
I wish they said how much he had left. Doesn't
sound like much.

Speaker 10 (02:44:12):
That was the part that I missed, so off a scratcher.
He wins a little over a million dollars. Now again,
not a guy in good shape. Okay, here's a picture
of him. He's a big dude, so he's gonna if
he's living hard, he's gonna end up in the hospital

(02:44:34):
with something. And he got a blood clot in his
leg which spread to his lungs.

Speaker 5 (02:44:39):
Yeah, I mean that was coming no matter what. That
wasn't That wasn't the lottery, Nope, that was forty years
of cheeseburgers. But it's funny because again he's in the
UK where they have the National Health Service, which again
isn't perfect. But he's not a guy.

Speaker 10 (02:44:57):
He's like, well, whether you have a lot of money
or not, and you're in the back of the ambulance.
None of it matters. He is able to come at
that from an existential point of view, Right, doesn't matter
how much money you've got. When you're in that ambulance
and you're thinking about your life, you worry over here
people are worried about how much that ambulance is going
to cost them. So it does matter how much money

(02:45:17):
you've got in the bank. But he quit his job
driving the forklift, and he said, I never should have
done that because I needed some structure in my life.
And so he's going to after this, hopefully put his
health first. But he won the lottery, and again he
did what so many people do. You know, they blow

(02:45:41):
through all of it. Now again, if you win a billion,
you in the power ble, you couldn't blow through it,
you know, just letting a massive chunk of that money sit.

Speaker 2 (02:45:49):
You could live on that alone. But he's thinking about
his health.

Speaker 15 (02:45:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:46:01):
Funny how that happened. Well, right, I mean, you end
up there.

Speaker 10 (02:46:06):
I mean, to his point, it doesn't really matter how
much money you have if you're not gonna live to
spend it. And so you know, I had my road
trip this Weekendo Michigan and back slight detour and bowling Green.
But on the rest stop, you know, I stopped to

(02:46:26):
get gass. They always have those machines that will sell
you scratchers, and I always think, oh, I should buy
one of those. There's no downside to it. But then
I'm like, eh, and then what, I'm not gonna win
a million dollars on a scratcher. This guy did, but
he's in the UK.

Speaker 5 (02:46:42):
But see, the concerning part about the story really is
that he had twenty dollars to his name and spent
it on scratch tickets.

Speaker 2 (02:46:49):
You know what I mean? Like, that's that's the real.

Speaker 10 (02:46:51):
That's the last ditch effort, right that this is the
guy who's like, I'm gonna win, and for him it
worked out. Doesn't work out for a lot of people.
Most Yeah, I spent my last twenty dollars.

Speaker 5 (02:47:07):
You know.

Speaker 10 (02:47:07):
Like a feel good story is when they go I
came over, My grandparents came over from Italy. They didn't
have a penny in their pocket, And I'm like, are
you is that hyperbole? Why if you're gonna go to
another country, why wouldn't you put a penny in your pocket?

Speaker 2 (02:47:21):
Just one?

Speaker 5 (02:47:22):
Just put a nickel in your pocket. Yeah, you didn't
have anything. His pockets were empty. Why why would you
go to another country with empty pockets? One package is
saltine crackers? Were we were met on the road by gypsies.
I don't think he can say that Meat's what they were.
They were filthy gypsy. I don't, Grandpa, you can't, Please don't.

Speaker 9 (02:47:46):
That's not.

Speaker 2 (02:47:48):
But you know it came over with nothing. Why did
you do that? Yeah? Something, but who knows? As long
as it goes on their back. The clothes on their
back is all they had.

Speaker 15 (02:48:00):
And now I must leave you as the Brady bunch
is on, and I find four of those children incredibly arousing.

Speaker 2 (02:48:06):
Get at it.

Speaker 9 (02:48:08):
Be careful of what you say, Be careful in every way,
Be careful of what you do. Big Brother is watching you.
Be circumspect and discreet. Stay light on your mental feet.

(02:48:29):
One slip and you know who you're through. Big Brother
is watching you.

Speaker 7 (02:48:35):
And are we all narratives?

Speaker 9 (02:48:39):
Remember obedience paid? And when you watch that dav screens,
remember it works both ways. You disappear in a wink.
Unless you can double think, you'll vanish into the blue.

(02:49:00):
Big Brother is watching you.
