Greet him as though you would a long lost friend.
Jess is back in studio. G Hi, because she's a
real G's nice, She's a real one. Jesus, that's pungent.
What is happening out there?
Speaker 10 (01:36):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Smells? Doesn't it smell like a pot roast or something
like food.
Speaker 10 (01:40):
There's something very food happening here.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Well, within the last few minutes, Rob and I are
in here and we're doing our normal pre show kind
of thing. We have our rituals. Of course, he has his,
I've got mine. Sometimes. You know, it involves lotions and salves.
I don't want to get too specific about it, but
it's uh. And literally within the last few minutes, we're like,
(02:04):
you know, halfway through Lincoln Park and I go, Jesus,
it smells like there's a carving station out there or something,
and it's very very pungent.
Speaker 10 (02:13):
It's not out there, that's the crazy part. So it
must be someone theirs is cooking. Oh god, I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
My divorce apartment many years ago, I got like the
very last corner apartment in this very very drab apartment complex,
and it was a lot of you know, immigrant families
and things like that. I have very very nice people,
but jeesez. It always smelled so good. The food always
smelled so good.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Well, this smells I don't know if good is the yeah,
but it's it's got something to it.
Speaker 10 (02:44):
Well, that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Though, It's like vaguely familiar, but I can't tell what
it is.
Speaker 10 (02:48):
It just has I feel like you're not wrong with
pot roast.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I feel like pot roast could be very much what
it is, or a stew of some sort.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Maybe it's maligaitani, but there's like an overall scent of
cooked meats or something. Somebody just opened the pots and sloppy. Yeah,
somebody opened their insta pot. If that's coming from upstairs,
that's crazy that it would make its way all the
way down.
Speaker 10 (03:15):
Here, is it?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Though?
Speaker 10 (03:16):
Do you see the way these rooms are built?
Speaker 13 (03:18):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Not crazy, No, but I mean that would be I
mean the residential floors above us. It's like a dozen
residential floors, right, doesn't necessarily mean that it's one or
two floors above us. What if it's somebody who's cooking
up I don't know, a delicious spread up there in
the penthouse.
Speaker 10 (03:37):
Level and just working its way through the whole building.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Doesn't bloom daddy have a spot upstairs?
Speaker 10 (03:42):
Doom bloody right above us.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Is there a shot that he's got he's got a
pot on the stove. No, because I saw him earlier,
but this is obviously before I smelled anything. But you
don't think that maybe he's got he's got a crock
pot going.
Speaker 10 (03:55):
No, you've seen him right, yeah, yeah, he's not cooking.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Oh I don't know. No, yeah, but crockpot. You said
it and forget it. No, I mean you you put
your stuff in there. Just do you cook it all?
Speaker 14 (04:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (04:07):
You do?
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Okay, want an ed libver Listen. I know you have
a five month old, so it's probably you're probably a
lot of strained carrots and things like that. Yet oh
next week? Yeah, okay. So like if you even people
who don't cook, I think it's fair to say if
(04:30):
you're smart, especially if you're single, if you're smart, it's
good to have a couple of dishes in your back pocket,
a couple of things you can whip together for somebody.
That really makes it look like you know what you're doing.
Do you have one of those?
Speaker 15 (04:43):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah, okay, So if you're trying to impress somebody or
you're just trying to flex a little bit in the kitchen,
you would make what.
Speaker 14 (04:52):
A cup of water?
Speaker 10 (04:53):
A cup of water? No, like, so you don't cook.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
No, I'm just kidding out.
Speaker 10 (04:57):
Oh okay, I was gonna say.
Speaker 14 (04:59):
I mean, it's just a I mean stuff.
Speaker 16 (05:00):
Peppers are really easy, yes, and siladas are really easy.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Okay, what else do I make? Again?
Speaker 10 (05:08):
Those are? There is some involvement there.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I like making meat loaf, meat loaf easy. Okay, It's
like my grandfather said, Rob, never let your meat loaf.
I'm a meat loaf guy. Okay, good. Now where are
you on the mustard on meat loaf? Oh? I love
yellow mustards? Okay on meat loafs Oh, it's this choice. Yeah, Okay,
(05:32):
meat loaf is good because then obviously you just you
make your meat and then you put it in a
loaf pan.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
And bake the crap out of it for three hours,
and then you got something.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Maybe bloom Daddy's making a meat loaf.
Speaker 10 (05:44):
No, you know what it is?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Well, now, the more I keep smelling it, I can
tell you. As soon as I say it, you're going
to agree. It is corned beef and cabbage.
Speaker 17 (05:51):
Ew.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
You know what I like.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
When I first moved to Cleveland, I lived in Tremont,
and then I lived in Ohio City for many years.
And there is a gas station at Lorraine and what
is it Lorraine and Bridge? Maybe it's a planet fit
there's there now, but it used to be a thrift store.
But there's a gas station right there on the corner,
and they have a sandwich thing in the back, the
guy making sandwiches, which I really don't see that often anymore.
(06:16):
And what I love, and it's I've seen the sign
in a handful of gas stations is they have hot
corned beef. But the corned is in quotation marks, and
I don't know what that either. The corns hot, one
of those words is in quotation marks, and I'm like,
why what do you mean by that?
Speaker 10 (06:34):
Like you're it's faux corned or listen.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
I know people, some of whom in my own family,
who believe that beef is best when it's corned. But
I would not recognize corned beef and cabbage by smell.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
You dont recogniz It was never like a go to
for me. No, that's what it smells. I'm starting to
smell like the cabbage more and more.
Speaker 13 (06:53):
Now.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, I mean again, you're probably right, but that just
leads me to think that's somebody has got a crock
pot going or something.
Speaker 14 (07:02):
Does it smell like farts?
Speaker 10 (07:03):
No, it doesn't smell like a fart.
Speaker 16 (07:05):
Farts though, huh doesn't cabbage kind of smell like farts.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Well, farts smell like cabbage, I think, right, I mean
definitely the part before the horse it can.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
But no, it smells like cabbage to me. I mean,
I don't know. Now, how are we going to find out?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Because now that we're being bombarded with this scent, and
best as I can tell, we'll probably smell at the
bulk of the show. Now I'm hungry, so it will
be mildly distracting.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Do you.
Speaker 10 (07:33):
Do you think that we'd be able to determine the
source up?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Probably not.
Speaker 10 (07:40):
If it's coming from above, we will never know, right.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, that's okay, Well it smells like something, and I
guess it's not out here.
Speaker 10 (07:49):
We have determined that I'm going corned beef and cabbage. Okay,
here you go. Oh what we're flowing the Ellen Cox.
Speaker 11 (08:02):
Show on one hundred point seven. If he sounds super
excited to see you, Hey.
Speaker 5 (08:10):

he's real good.

Speaker 10 (08:37):
Send me a text if you want three five one

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Our buddy rich Patrick, Rob the maan Filter native of
Bay Village, Ohio, where I currently reside, where I lay
my head every night. Rob is among the fine people
of Bay Village, Ohio. And it was a while back
when I went to the Jerry Cantrell show at the
House of Blues some weeks ago, when I first bought
(09:03):
the tickets weeks weeks weeks in advance. I'm a huge
Jerry Cantrell fan, love Alison Chains and Filter was set
to open that tour and then last minute, I guess
because the explanation was that rich Patrick had been having
back surgery or something like that. He's a guy that
still really puts himself through it. And he's no spring chicken. Right,
It's like my age.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
Even though I'm a spring chicken. Rob, He's not right.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I think he's a little older than name, but nevertheless, right,
this guy still runs around does whatever. Last minute, they
replaced Filter with Sparta if you remember them from back
in the day on that Jerry Cantroll show, and they
were great too. Sparta was more like watching It was
like being in a basement party in nineteen ninety three. Right, Well,
Filter is coming back Filter has announced. It was like
(09:49):
literally an hour ago. Filter said that they are going
on tour and it will end here in Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
They're going on a spring tour with Local H.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Another Chicago band, great band, and Finger eleven, who are
Canadian and probably the most divisive of the three. Finger
eleven is one of those bands that's had a handful
of hits. But I couldn't pick out one guy in
the band.
Speaker 10 (10:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
If you showed me a picture and said what is
this band, I would say the Tea Party? Remember them?
Speaker 10 (10:24):
The Tea Party? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And somebody said Finger eleven, I'd say, oh, all right,
well there you go.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
In all fairness, I don't know if I could pick
anybody out.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Of Local Age either, well, just Scott. I mean back
in the day it was two guys and now it's
a couple more. But you know, Filter kind of blew
up in Chicago two and so Local h are a
couple of guys that they came up with there, So
there's a.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Long time connection. Anyway.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Filter will headline this spring tour and it will end
here in Cleveland. The last date is at the House
of Blues on April the first certainly hope Rob that
that is no thinly veiled April fool's joke, because I'd
be really.
Speaker 10 (11:08):
Really bumming. He wouldn't do that to us. I certainly
hope not.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
If you got to see Filter at Buzzard Fest a
couple of summers ago, is unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
I was blown away at home. And Rich Patrick.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Remains one of the nicest guys in rock and roll,
without question. He wasn't always that way, but he has
been that guy for a long time. And so those
are three pretty heavy hitters. I mean, if you only
know a couple of local eight songs, they've got a
real good setlist.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
Hey, and if you dig that nineties rock and roll Allen.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Oh man, I do I wish that there was gonna
I mean I wish that I could go somewhere where
there was gonna be like a full seventy two hours
of it.
Speaker 10 (11:46):
You know what, dude, I've got something for you. You
do I do?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Oh wow, We're gonna do a nineties weekend here on
the Buzzard. That can't be right.
Speaker 10 (11:53):
That is right.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That sounds too amazing. It is too amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
It is so amazing that I don't even know what
but we're starting it on Friday at ten am with
Dan Stansbury.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Excellent.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
So if you liked what we did last Weekend with
the eighties, this is the same thing.
Speaker 10 (12:09):
Yeah, but for the nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yeah, which basically ended before our own. Jessica Ann Hutchinson
even came out to shoot, that's right.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
Were you ninety nine?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
She's oh, god, ninety nine, row right on the edge.
Oh my god, when's your birthday?
Speaker 14 (12:27):
May thirteenth?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
May thirteenth. I'm go'n have to put this in my
calendar now that she's part of the show. Don't forget
May the thirte Oh, it's already in there, May the thirteenth.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
How is your birthday already in my calendar? Maybe in
the contact when I send you the contact? Was it
in there?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Maybe?
Speaker 10 (12:43):
I don't know, that's my guess. AnyWho.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Okay, May thirteenth, so you will be twenty seven years
old this next spring.
Speaker 14 (12:50):
I know, gotta be careful that year.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Jesus chrissed because of Cobain and all the other people. Yep, yeah,
but you've already cleaned yourself up. They fell prey to
their vices, right, Jimmy Hendricks, is what's his name, Oh God,
the overrated guy Rob Jim Morrison. Is he in the
twenty seven club?
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Wow? I know you take umbrage with my assessment of
him as being wildly overrated, a band and artist that
would have never worked in any other period of time.
But I understand that. I understand that a very popular band.
They've lasted a long time, and there's nothing wrong with that.
(13:34):
Good on them, overrated Jim Morrison and I went to
Jim Morrison's grave in Paris. So I'm a fan of history.
I'm never mad when I hear the doors. It's when
people try to convince me that the doors were some
other worldly force and that Jim Morrison was a once
in a lifetime stop stop, Val Kilmer was better than
(13:55):
he was.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
All right, now, you're just saying things to try to
just do you see?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
How do you see how I like pull the string
on Rob's back sometimes and it's good. Well, I guess
I didn't realize. You know, I certainly don't want to
go to blows over and it's not worth that. I
guess I didn't realize you were such a doors fan.
I guess you told me. I know you do, but
you're just trying to tweak with Teitz and I'm not
going to let you do it, but loving the Doors
(14:23):
and you kind of have to compartmentalize properly assessing their
place in rock and roll history.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yeah, I think there are many many more artists in
bands over time that are overrated before you get to
Jim Morris.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Like Commander Cody, Like sure, sure, I think you.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Can name many, many, many, many many artists before you
get to Jim Morrison being overrated.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Who do you think, either then or now? Who do
but maybe of that era, since we're talking about it,
who do you think is an overrated legend in rock
and roll?
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I think bon Jovi's tremendously overrated.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I know that it's not I know that that's not
the same era, but I think that they are probably
one of the most overrated.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I just loves bon Jovi. Do you know, let's try
to get her to play along.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
You wouldn't do it?
Speaker 13 (15:16):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yeah, no, Arrowsmith, you love Arrows. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
I think the Red Hot Chili Peppers are jarringly overrated. Yeah, Okay,
did you hear the Flea song? No?
Speaker 12 (15:28):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Is there a new one?
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Flee is getting ready to drop a solo album in
twenty twenty six. And if you know anything about Flea
and I like flee a lot, it's exactly what you
think it would be. I read an article that described
it as after decades of anticipation, what Flea's debut. Yeah,
(15:51):
it's called it's the song by Flea. It's called a
Plea p l eat.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
Everyone come on.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
So it's just an experimental fun thing for him.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Come on with me.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
That song is seven minutes and forty seconds long. Okay,
so it's a lot of wanking and yes, but if
you like Flea and appreciate what he does, then yeah,
that's gonna drop in the spring, the first Flea solo record.
But he's never done he's never done a solo album before.
(16:35):
Obviously he's got a lot of really good, diverse artists
with him. So I think people who are into the
Chili Peppers, I don't think you're gonna hear a lot
of that there because it's gonna be his thing, whatever
he wants to do.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I think people are gonna jump on it to do
something with Flea, you know what I mean? And if
you can have like that, it's like what's his nuts
is doing? From outcast andre three thousand flute records, just
dicking a round.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
He's having a good time.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
I'm hoping that maybe there's somewhere buried in this Flea
album there is an Andree three thousand flute solo. That's
what I want. The first thing I thought when I
was listening to the song this morning is I was like, Jesus,
this is like the equivalent of that Andreie three thousand
flute record. So, yeah, he's got He's not even the
(17:21):
only bass player on it.
Speaker 20 (17:22):
Rob.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
So I'm telling you what if you are a bass player, uh,
you are going to have one hand down your pants.
Speaker 10 (17:29):
Listen to this a full bass album. Yeah, so every
song has a bass solo.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Oh, we got some old less Claypool, We got some
old Cliff Burton reel from the vault, Michael Anthony.
Speaker 10 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
I don't know who else is on this, but you
can tell that the people he's performing with on just
that song, the first offering from it, drummer sounds great.
Don't know who that is.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
Fleas.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Flea's daughter directed the music video. Dropped a video for
this song again. The song is seven minutes and thirty
eight seconds long. There are spoken word breakdowns in it.
That's because they know it like it's never gonna get play.
It's just it's it's fun. He's doing his thing, he's
having a good time. It's not more songs about California
by Anthony Keatis. He's in his Gil Scott Herron Eraah,
(18:19):
as it were, the Revolution will not be televised. So, yeah,
you mentioned the Chili Peppers and that new Flea solo album.
His first is coming out next spring. Now you might
be saying to yourself, Alan, given the information we just received,
what are the chances that that will be Jess's twenty
(18:40):
seventh birthday gift?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Pretty good? I would say I'll go in with you
on it. The Flea album You're Welcome, Yeah, boy, that
was at the top of my wish plus it sure was.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Oil boy, Alan, is this the last week of live shows? Well,
it depends on if you want it to be or not,
because my answer will either bum you out or make
you excited.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
It is not the last week of live shows. It's
the last full week of live show.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Yeah, Tomorrow will be the last Wednesday of the year,
and then, as luck would have it, the last Thursday
and Friday year. One week from today will be our
last live show. It will coincide, purely coincidentally with my
sixteenth anniversary here at WMMS. I want to throw day.
I was talking what just theme day? Theme day do
you have? I was talking to my daughter on the
(19:27):
way to school this morning, and she was asking about
how many days I had left, and I said, well,
one week from today is going to be my last
live show and then I'm off for the rest of
the year. And I said it's it will mark sixteen
years at WMMS. And she can't really get her head
around that because she's only been around for ten but
(19:50):
obviously born and being raised here in Ohio. I'm from Illinois,
her mom is from Michigan, and so this is all
she knows. And so I was like, yeah, She's like,
is that the longest you've been anywhere? I said, yes,
it is. I've been in a lot of places, but
sixteen years is a long time.
Speaker 10 (20:08):
It's no joke, man.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
They just keep making it worth my while to stay here. Rob.
You know the people who hate me, the guy that
was repeatedly texting me that I was to see you
next Tuesday, yesterday, sixteen years in any sign time, somebody
texts me and goes, You're you're done, You're going to
be fired. I'm like Jesus Christ, get it over with already.
Why will you put me out of my misery? If
(20:31):
you had gotten me at year one or two, you
might have had a case. But sixteen, it's not exactly
the sort of damicles hanging over my head anymore. Nevertheless,
anything can happen, Rob. If this company even gets a
whiff that I am anything less than human, it's curtains
for your boy, Ac.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
That's right, you're almost more guaranteed now. I'm human as
you're human. I'm guaranteed human now again.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
I do make the distinction in the purely existential sense,
in the interpersonal sense. If you ever meet me in
a lot of you have, you won't walk away thinking
that you've had an interaction with a real flesh and blood,
carbon based person.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
You just go eh, and then you'd go get a
hamburger or something.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
See before, when they were just like running down lists
of numbers and firing people, willy nilly, I think now
they have to like go look at it and go, oh,
here's a number and this is attached to let's see what.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
As I say, Alan Cox.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
And then they get to the next box and it
has a check mark and it says human yes nom hm.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
They have to skip right over it now if it
says yes.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
And those of you who've been around for a long time,
you remember Willy Nilly used to do afternoons at WGAR.
Figure it out.
Speaker 10 (21:39):
It was he and West Western.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I yes, West Western and Willy Nilly were doing afternoons
over there. And boy, once the jig was up, it
was curtains for those guys. Alan, Crosby, Stills in Nash
are overrated. Well, I think Stills is, But I like
Crosby and Nash.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
I don't know that what makes them still rated. There's
ten five songs you can name.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Stephen Still's British was one of or Graham Nash is British.
I think one of those guys, right, One of those
guys is English. Graham, Nash, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Now are they overrated?
Speaker 8 (22:17):
No?
Speaker 10 (22:17):
Are they under Okay? I think better with him, don't you.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
I'm agnostic about all of it. Anytime I hear them,
I'm like, yeah, it's fine. You know again, very much
of the time, Tom Down and Canton, who hits us
up a lot, Alan, Jim Morrison is no Jimmy Buffett,
but he was pretty good. Yeah, they could joke about
(22:41):
Jimmy Buffett every two seconds. Uh huh, Alan, what about
Chad Smith is a drummer. I think he's great, but
I know nothing about drummer. Charry Smith is great. He's
exactly what the Chili Peppers need. He has created a
fantastic career just being in the pocket. He looks like
Will Ferrell, looks like Will Ferrell. Yeah, that's not a
band that requires a whole lot. He gives them more
(23:03):
than they actually need, you know, with him and Flea,
those guys are the rhythm section. And so now I
was a fan of Dave Navarro era Chili Peppers. It
was very short lived. They sounded very different. They had
a much harder edge because they were kind of they
were kind of in the wilderness at that point creatively,
and so they kind of let Dave Navarro take the reins.
(23:24):
But longtime Peppers fans were like, I don't like this
at all. That one Hot Minute record. I liked it
a lot. I thought it was great, but it was
a different vibe and it didn't last long. And you
know what was what was the single from that?
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Do you remember?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yeah, Warped that was it, and then My Friends I
think Aeroplane was from that. They had a handful of hits, okay, yeah,
one hot minute it was Dave. It was the one
album they made with Dave Navarro nineteen ninety five. I
remember him in the band. I don't remember any of
the songs. Yeah. It was because they were coming right
(23:58):
off Blood Sugar Sex, which was massive. That was their biggest,
biggest one, the Aeroplane, my Friends and Warped. But Warped
was the first video, right, and it was heavy and
they were all in like PVC Latex. I mean, it
had Dave Navarro all over. It wasn't my Friend's slow
it was. But Chili Peppers fans looked at that and
(24:20):
were like, what the hell is this?
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Was that the ad of.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
My fans of yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that song.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
It's okay, yeah. I can't.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
With the exception of the first Chili Peppers albums, I
don't know that I've ever really dug anything they've done since.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
I mean, I loved Blood Sugar Sex, man, but so
did everybody else, you know what I mean? Like that
just whatever it was, Uh, that hit people right. Betwenty
Eyes and my girlfriend at the time, I remember going
to six Flags. She was a couple of years younger
than me, were so in college and her sisters were
way into that Blood Sugar, Sex Magic record and they
just listen into it non stop.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
It was great. It was a great record.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
But then again, I mean, like everything was Californication and
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 10 (25:08):
I'll just has that same.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
They love their home state, Rob. You know, people give
me a hard time for name dropping Chicago so much, but.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
You love where you're from. You're from Chicago.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
People from Cleveland act like they leave and never mention
Cleveland again. Can't shut you guys up about Cleveland when
you move, and that's kind of how it's supposed to be.
Of course you'll come back, but still while you're gone,
you can't shut up about it.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Yeah, this I could, I could never hear again it
be fine. Wow wow Rob Wow, I'm just saying wow,
I think again. I think they are a jarringly overrated band.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Huh jarringly yes, Alan ac DC and Nirvana are incredibly overrated.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
I hear ac DC a lot Nirvana.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
You can you can make a case for just you
know which one of those grunge bands was going to
be the face of all of it, and Nirvana just
happened to be it.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Right, Somebody texted me Chris Cornell is ass Oh, well,
that's just stupid ass in all caps. I assume you.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Mean amazingly, amazingly super sexy.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
Super sound singer.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, super song guy, amazing song singer, rich and Northfield,
The Beatles suck ass, Well, that's just stupid.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
I was gonna say, you might have a hard time.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You know, opinions are one thing, but you're gonna have
a real hard time convincing a room of people that
the Beatles are no good.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Well, that's and that's again, that's where opinion like you
you're that that's not just an opinion thing, Like there's
fact to back up the Beatles. You can argue about
the Red Hot Chili Peppers if you want, right, you
can't argue about the Beatles.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
But who wants to argue over the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Speaker 10 (26:55):
No one, no one.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I'll just play all the stupid songs and that's what
people want me to play, So I'll keep playing him Hey,
here's breaking the Girl again.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
There you go. Now that's a good song. Fine, I
don't hear that one enough. Here's Californication. Well, here's under
the Bridge. God, I haven't heard that one enough. Yeah,
but you forget that Californication is frigging twenty five years old.
Speaker 10 (27:15):
I know. I still think of that as like, oh,
it's a few years old.
Speaker 14 (27:18):
No.
Speaker 10 (27:19):
Every time I get five years old scar tissue.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Every time I get back one of these tests, I
look and they're in like the top twenty five times,
I'm like, who is taking this?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
How can you still love this band that much? It's
called timeless rock and roll rock?
Speaker 10 (27:34):
I guess man.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Allen is David Lee Roth excited for the Flea solo album.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
Hope he's on it. Uh huh, Wow, he's already jumping
for joy.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Dave tell us about the Can you tell us about
the recording process with Flee?
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (27:52):
I was hoping you would tell us. I'm sorry, Dave's
having a rough morning.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Fine, it's fine, it's animal.
Speaker 21 (28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Well he's on the West coast, so it is mourning
for him. That's where the difficulty is. Yeah, something he's
gotta get going.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
The Allen Cox Show on one, The Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 13 (28:20):
I've been listening to that horsestion of yours for months,
and you can take that crap and blow it out
your ass, and for good measure's call The Alan Cox
Show two one six, five seven eight one double oh seven.

Speaker 22 (28:36):
O man.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Co Fine the beast Man, Dude box driving.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
If you want to send me a text, if you
listen to us on iHeartRadio, tell me where I heard
from Lenny and Mesa, Arizona. He sent me the screen
grab on his minutes the year rewind one hundred and
thirty four minutes.
Speaker 10 (29:10):
Problems how much?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
One hundred nine eight hundred and thirty four minutes. Very impressive,
Pretty good? Yeah. The The Cox Family remains rob in
difficulty behind the wheel. You know, I still haven't gotten
my car back after I hit a deer a couple
of weeks back. I'm still driving my rental, although I
think in the next couple of days I'll have it.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Did they run into a snag or something? I thought
they told you it was gonna be quick. They did,
but they never know.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I wasn't gonna hold him to that, you know, Sure, Yeah,
but I hadn't gotten an update, and they've been real diligent,
but I hadn't gotten an update in like a week,
and so I hit them up this morning and the
guy was like, Yeah, I was just gonna text you
today let you know that we're gonna do some last
minute tests on it. Blah blah blah. So that is
coming to an end. But I get a text from
my daughter last night. Hey, and I want you to
freak out if you hear from Mom or you hear
(29:58):
from Jude. Truck backed into me last night. Now I
read it as she got rear ended by a truck.
But she was at a gas station and a semi
truck backed into She was honking her horn and the
guy didn't see her or whatever I got, and basically
like sheared off the left side of her her Rev
(30:19):
four or something like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Was she in the car? Yeah, she was. She's like
honking the guy didn't hear.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
She's like, this is the third time in five months
that I've been sitting somewhere in my car and somebody
wasn't paying attention and bumped me or hit me or something.
Speaker 10 (30:34):
So she was like sending me photos.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Her driver's side side mirror shattered, The driver's side window
was all shattered into her car.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
What is the car? Oh? God, Rev four.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
It's probably it's not old, it's not brand new, but
it's probably like a fifteen.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So it sounds like a lot of damage. Man, that
might be it for that car. No, I'm like, well,
at least I'm trying to be glass half full.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
She's okay, exactly, but I was freaking out initially, and
she's like, I'm not hurt. But she said ironically because
she does all these she does regular performances as part
of her class work there at Michigan State. And she's like,
I was doing a thing last night and I look
out the window and my car is being towed. And
I run out and asked the guy, beg the guy
(31:19):
to not tow me, and he's like, okay, so he didn't.
She's like, if he had towed me, that truck wouldn't
hit me. I was like, well, I'm still driving my rental,
so yeah, so now they got to figure that out.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
But trying to be glass half full, I'm like, well,
at least you're.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
On Christmas break, yes, you know, So now that's got
to get figured out. But the initial text I think
I misread because I thought she meant that she got
rear ended by a truck, and I'm like Jesus Christ,
and then she's like, no, no, I was at the
gas station sitting there and he backed the trailer up
into her car, and I was like, Okay, what the
(31:54):
hell's going on out there? But fortunately she's okay. If
you are not listening to us on the iHeartRadio app,
you're always welcome to leave us voicemails. You know, Brian
doesn't have to be the only person the Lee's voicemail.

eighty nine three.
Speaker 20 (32:24):
Hey Allen, hate the show.
Speaker 17 (32:25):
I heard you and Rob last week talking about the
island of Jamaica, and I actually just wanted to call
in because.
Speaker 20 (32:31):
I just returned from Jamaica.
Speaker 17 (32:34):
I work in the travel industry and was down there
last week prior to some resource opening, and I just
wanted to call.
Speaker 20 (32:40):
In and just mention that Jamaica's open and they are
need they're in need of the tourism. They're ready to
welcome people back.
Speaker 17 (32:49):
The paths, the roads to and from the resource were
clear and open, and all the staff members that I
talked to, from the airport workers to the taxi drivers
to the hotel staff.
Speaker 20 (33:00):
They're very eager for people to return.
Speaker 17 (33:03):
You know, people forget that the fastest transfer of wealth
so they can give these islands is tourism.
Speaker 20 (33:08):
They are they are ready to welcome people back.
Speaker 17 (33:10):
And hopefully as the weather starts to turn here in Ohio,
people will look to travel there because, as you guys know,
the people there definitely are are are good, good people
and they need So I have a good one Ron.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Can you imagine he's just back from Jamaica and when
those hurricanes went through basically every resort on that island,
on certain parts of the island other than Ocho Rios,
we're like decimated. Yeah, so he's just coming back. Hey,
we got to think of what we swing in on
a chandelier.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
We do a show trip to Jamaica. Can you imagine this? Yeah?
I can, let's go. I'm ready, you want to go?
Next week. Oh, we get back.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Let's go and we get back. I mean, I don't
want to go next week. No, No, we'll we'll be gone.
I'm ready some to think about. Well anyway, I don't
know if I mean again, I don't know if the
call to hey, go down and help the people of
Jamaica by taking some time and spending some money that
night might not fall in as many ears as you like.
Speaker 10 (34:12):
But I take his point.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Most of the parts of what twenty six resorts had
tons of damage done. So the places that are in
Ocho Rios right now they're living high in the hog.
Speaker 10 (34:25):
They're getting the.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
The bulk of that tourism.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
But yeah, I'm down, man, I'll let's book it.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Did you see that video of when Miss Jamaica fell
off the stage speaking of Jamaica. I didn't see this
at the time. Do you see this? Well, I guess
those three four weeks ago, but I didn't see it
at the time.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
She's a doctor.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
She's a freaking like ophthalmologist or something, or doctor Gabriel Henry.
She was the Miss Universe contestant. She was Miss Jamaica
and she fell off the stage laughing. Man, I watched this.
I hadn't seen it at the time. I was like, Jesus,
she's like just getting out of the hospital now because
(35:08):
she had a brain bleed.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, that part's not funny, but when people are ah.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
This morning, new details about the moment to stun the
Miss Universe pageant, Miss Jamaica doctor Gabrielle Henry walking on
stage in a sparkling orange gown when suddenly she trips
in falls, disappearing whoa like a bag.
Speaker 10 (35:30):
Of Dirtologists rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Now the pageant revealing she suffered a brain bleed with
loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations, and other significant injury.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
I mean, if you're a doctor, you don't want anything
happening to your brain. I mean, if you're any person,
you don't want anything happened in your brain. How did
they miss that?
Speaker 10 (35:47):
I didn't see how the time it said that was
before Thanksgiving? Yeah, she fell hard, man, I mean, wow,
they had to stretcher her off the stage. Again.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I don't I don't mean to laugh, but when people
fall down.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
I have a very hard time not laughing.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Well, you've I've played Kelsey Grammar.
Speaker 10 (36:03):
That's one of the best of all time. What does
he say?
Speaker 5 (36:07):
Oh good, oh good god, something like that. He's talking,
and there was many years ago and the edge of
the stage had these It was shaped very strangely like
it looked like the teeth of a key, and so
they were kind of it was very uneven, and he
was walking. Oh good lord, oh good, Oh good god.
And if you close your eyes, it's just sideshow bob
(36:29):
falling off of a stage.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
Right.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
But the Miss Jamaica thing like she's doing the strut,
the runway walk and it just I don't know, look
straight ahead, and knowing that she was injured makes it
much less funny. But she fell through an opening in
the stage, which he is funny.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
It's funny. I'm sorry, it's funny through it's a.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
Small world pretending I was a un interpret.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
Everybody, Oh good look, oh good lord.
Speaker 17 (36:59):
I think.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Because you're embarrassed. You know you're embarrassed. Yeah, you felt.
You're talking and walking and you're doing the whole err
and Sorkin thing, and you're on display and you're.
Speaker 10 (37:17):
There to discuss your craft.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
And so in a split second, you go from talking
about something that you hope will be of interest to
people to a very very human moment. Oh good lord.
That's why Rob I always prepare for contingencies. I'm not
somebody who leaves a great deal to chance. I don't
(37:41):
do it professionally, and I don't do it personally, and
so I know that if I am in a situation
like that, I want to have like a good pithy
line ready in case I fall off of stage. Have
you ever fallen off a stage?
Speaker 4 (37:59):
No, but we both almost fell very publicly at the
Monsters game on the ice.
Speaker 10 (38:04):
That counts.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
So last year Rob and I are hosting Cleveland Rocks
Night again. It's coming up January third. Yeah, well we
won't even be back alive on the air yet. This
will be over the break Cleveland Rocks Night there at
the Rocket Arena, and last year Robin I did it.
We're a brand new show, we're only a couple of
weeks in and we go out there and they asked
us to do the puck drop.
Speaker 10 (38:24):
Absolutely, it's fun.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
I used to do the games on ice for the
Monsters games, right, and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 10 (38:32):
So we go out there.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
They've got the carpet runner, so the essensibly see you
don't slip and it's kind of at a right angle.
So you go out there and then you make a
you know, and you get to center ice. Well, those
carpet runners are rubber on the bottom and they're on
the ice right. So we're walking like very gingerly right.
We're like Bambie going across the pond. And I'm behind
(38:58):
Rob where I like to be, and and he how
did it go the way you walked? You kind of
I bunched up a little bit right, and so that
kind of bunched up in front of me.
Speaker 10 (39:13):
Long story short, we almost both bid it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Yeah, I did, like the the real quick, like I
felt the back heel of my boots slip and I
was like whoa and I and I caught like that,
oh god, like you catch yourself. And then I turned
around to look at you, and I saw the little
gap in the ice and I'm like, oh no, and
you stepped over it, and that's you almost went like
you you got it worse than me.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Now, it would have been hilarious if either of us
had bit it on the ice. It would have been
so good if that entire arena erupted in laughter. Now,
it doesn't mean I'm gonna try to do that.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Well, you would have got the Oh, like, did you
ever see one of the guys singing.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
Your monsters are?
Speaker 21 (39:55):
Look at that deuice bag. Oh now he's starfishing all over.
He can't even get up off the ice. Oh what
a jag off this guy is. That's Alan packs will
wow usb you overball.
Speaker 10 (40:08):
I think he might have broken something.
Speaker 23 (40:09):
Oh no, he is a flailing wildly. Alright, give it
up four m every buddy. He'll be in the icy.
Speaker 10 (40:22):
Sure happened two days yeah out by then? See what guy?
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Did you ever see the guy singing the Canadian national
anthem on skates and he hits that same carpet that
we were on.
Speaker 10 (40:34):
No, he's like, ok.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Just here in Cleveland, No Mark Donnelly trading over the carpet.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
That's probably it Canada. Yeah, and the noise when he
hit loses it. And then when he hits the ground. Oh,
he's actively skate skating and singing. Oh it's so good.
Speaker 10 (40:53):
This is one of my favorite videos of all times
is twenty fourteen.
Speaker 24 (40:56):
Oh and then he hits the runner and then that's
keeping him from getting up any trip over and he
(41:18):
just hit some choppy ice.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
No, he caught the edge of that carpet. Oh he did, Yeah,
so he just when he goes ooh yeah. You gotta
give the guy credit man for going. But the best
(41:39):
is you watch the players when it happens, Like that
whole line of players. You just see everybody put their
gloves up to their face because they tried to start instantly,
try to start not laughing. Also, that dude number twenty
seven just starts laughing and he doesn't even care.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
But also I would say it's ice, like if you
trip and fall on a regular surfa, you know, you go, okay,
ha ha ha, it's ice.
Speaker 10 (42:03):
Yeah, well happen. But he's on skates, like the guy
obviously knows what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (42:07):
Yeah, I expect to possibly fall every time I'm out
there on the ice. It doesn't happen that often. I
don't think I've been out there since we did it
last year, and.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
I still don't know what we're doing. I don't know
if we're doing the puck drop, if we're doing stuff
during the game.
Speaker 10 (42:23):
I have no idea. I'm waiting to hear back from everybody.
But it's the third I think you said right, it's
January it's Saturday, January the third.
Speaker 5 (42:29):
That's right, all right, lady said please to the ice
from one of them our point, well, you all was
hell couch, so please.
Speaker 8 (42:43):
Give it up for the cli.
Speaker 10 (42:48):
He thank you, thank you, you're so kind.
Speaker 21 (42:53):
Bikwun goes down.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
Right, that's gonna require a stitch. Yeah, well fine, that'll
be fun. But yeah, I don't know what they want
us to do either.
Speaker 10 (43:08):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
Yeah, we'll be hosting some games or whatever. You know
usually do Allan in regards to miss Jamaica every ten
not iree, Oh good lord, Yeah, Allan, I don't know
what's funnier watching someone try to regain their balance or
(43:30):
the sound of all the air escaping from their body
when they fall. Well, is it worse if you try
to It's a it's a perfectly natural reflex and reaction
to try to catch yourself as you're falling. But that
does make for a month. Nobody's gonna like pull a
lebron and purposely.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
Flop, right, That's why you get hurt. Yeah, I mean
when you try to catch yourself, that's when things happen.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
You just gotta be a bang of bones. Calgary versus
the Bruins streaker on the ice and slips and knocks
himself out.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
I don't think I ever saw that one, but the
national anthem singer was my favorite, just because the sound
he's singing a.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
College student's embarrassing streak fail at the Flames Bruins game.
This is leg A two thousand and two. Oh, he
goes out cold and he's lying there on the ice
buck naked, and then they put him in. They put
him on the stretcher in the thing that where you
don't let you move your head in case you have
a head injury or neck injury or something, and he's
like doing the double deuces. How about that?
Speaker 10 (44:36):
We should send jess out there.
Speaker 5 (44:37):
Actually that should be her big coming out is on
January the third, which said we send her out there.
Speaker 10 (44:42):
Make her do the punk drup.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
Yeah, I'll definitely fine.
Speaker 10 (44:45):
He's a trouble for the al kasr pots of.

Speaker 25 (45:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (45:39):
Speaking of camels, somebody was calling in about the cigarettes
because Jess is a smoker.
Speaker 20 (45:44):
Hey guys, cigarette smok her ear and.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
I heard you that sounds like Jeane Simmons when he
calls us from his twenty twelve pilot by the way.
Speaker 10 (45:53):
Of kiss and myself of myself.
Speaker 26 (45:56):
Hey guys, cigarette smok her ear, and I heard your
days ago mentioned the camel.
Speaker 14 (46:01):
Blue Rob said, well, she has spoken that long about.
Speaker 20 (46:04):
Victos are news she's talking about they're actually called camel
Turkish royals and.
Speaker 13 (46:08):
They're not new.
Speaker 20 (46:09):
I haven't smoked a cigarette.
Speaker 10 (46:11):
Wasn't talking about those something like that, And that is
what I use.
Speaker 20 (46:16):
As soon as she said, cal exactly what she's talking about.
Speaker 5 (46:20):
And I kind of wanted one so you're so you are.
That's not what you're talking about, because I don't know
one from the other.
Speaker 14 (46:26):
Camel lights.
Speaker 5 (46:27):
Camel lights they're blue, gotcha, not camel. Turkish royals, I
know what those are though, Okay those?
Speaker 8 (46:36):
Oh god?
Speaker 5 (46:38):
Now what determines a gross cigarette from a non gross cigarette? Well,
your sucking smoke into your body.
Speaker 10 (46:46):
The taste, remember she was telling us the taste.
Speaker 16 (46:48):
And then like the draw, like you know, like a
you know, a light cigarette. Rob Like the way it
takes a little bit more of a draw to get
it out. Yeah, you gotta take a harder draw. Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
Well, as we all know, camel or not, you can
really do damage to your lungs over time. Lifelong smoker there.
Speaker 10 (47:12):
The Ellen Cock Show on.
Speaker 4 (47:19):
See some little unfair that you can watch our live
stream but we can't see you.
Speaker 10 (47:26):
But we'll fix that tonight.
Speaker 5 (47:30):
Outside your Window.
Speaker 25 (47:33):
Show on.
Speaker 16 (47:36):
M m A.
Speaker 5 (47:51):
It was funny at this Kevin Gates show that I
went to some weeks ago. I'm gonna play a clip
here of a guy who just goes off on people
who were chatty at shows. But what's funny too with
the shows are all the people who just spend the
whole time, and it's like gen z girls, I get it,
But is they spend the bulk of the show putting
(48:14):
themselves on TikTok singing along to the songs. It's on
footage of the show. It's never face forward. It's just
them singing along to all the songs and posting those
videos of themselves doing that at shows. And I mentioned
it at the time the right after that show that
(48:36):
I am in the background of a lot of young
girls tiktoks because a bunch of girls in front of
me spent most of the show doing that, filming themselves
singing along to the songs and putting it on TikTok.
And so I'm just back there. And then I'm not
paying attention, right, I'm background rob And I'm not the
(48:58):
guy that's gonna like make faces or try to screw
up their video. It's their video. But I'm like zelig
at this guy. Damn sure is a nice contemporary reference. Now,
this guy goes off on people talking at shows.
Speaker 6 (49:16):
Explain to me why people are buying concert tickets just
to go to the show and talk the whole fucking time.
Speaker 10 (49:21):
And I don't mean talk like, oh hey, I really
like this song. Yeah it this band's really good.
Speaker 6 (49:25):
I mean talking like having the loudest conversation in the
history of loud conversations. I was at a show the
other night and there were two guys next to me
who were having a full on conversation during the show.
It was louder than the band. I literally have to
say to him. I was like, guys, there's a time
and a place to have a conversation, and it is
not in the middle of a concert.
Speaker 10 (49:43):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (49:43):
One guy looks at me and he goes, We'll dude,
if it bugs you, just go somewhere else. I'm not
going anywhere, dude, you literally said. I was like, buddy,
I'm not moving. If you guys want to talk, you
can go to a bar. There's a bar right across
the street. Get the f out of here, go talk there.
Speaker 10 (49:57):
They just laugh the way you like. Okay. And I
heard one girl be like, what did he say now
that we're talking.
Speaker 6 (50:01):
People who buy tickets to concerts just to talk the
whole time are the exact same people who buy tickets
to movies and talk during the entire movie. So if
you are that kind of person, congratulations you are the
fucking worst.
Speaker 10 (50:14):
That guy's a douchebag.
Speaker 5 (50:16):
Well, like, I get what he means, But is that
was that your first concert? Is that a hill you're
gonna die on?
Speaker 10 (50:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (50:22):
Like, dude, get bent. Every single person in that place
did the exact same thing. You didn't bought tickets.
Speaker 5 (50:28):
If you don't like it, move well, this is where
we might part company though, Yeah, because I'm very ambivalent.
I genuinely don't know how to think about this notion
that I bought a ticket.
Speaker 10 (50:41):
Yeah, I can do whatever I want to do.
Speaker 5 (50:44):
And so it's like, well, you did, but we're also
having a collective experience here. That's why people go to shows.
That's why you're not sitting in your living room and
just listening to the band. You're going to see them perform. Yes,
because the guy who wants you to shut up also
bought a ticket, right, Oh who wins? I mean, but again,
is this this guy's first concert? Because and it happens
(51:06):
all the time, Like, dude, again, now, I don't know this.
I don't know where this guy goes on conversation. I mean,
if you're talking to somebody and he kind of alludes
to that at the beginning. These weren't two people that
were just like, oh, this is great. They were in
a full on conversation. Now, now I equate what he's
talking about. I equate if you're next to somebody who's
singing every song right next to you. It's like, but
(51:31):
what's wrong with that? It like, if it's not okay
to talk, why is it not okay to sing? I'm saying,
it's all not okay. That's what I'm saying. I'm technically
with this guy. I would never go off on somebody.
I would never tell somebody, hey, go to a bar
and have a conversation. That's why I think of the
Agora Rob. Anytime I'm going to a show with the Agora,
(51:53):
I'm up in the box. Yeah, I buy tickets in
the box. Now, that's my choice because I don't necessarily
want to be down there and have to deal with
people screaming.
Speaker 10 (52:01):
But it's obviously their right to do that whatever.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
I try to set myself up for success, but if
people are near and again, most of the shows I
go to are metal shows, so you're not gonna hear
anybody's conversation over those bands.
Speaker 10 (52:15):
And I don't know what show he was referring to there.
Speaker 5 (52:18):
But there are some shows you could absolutely I mean,
the band will be like, hey, we can hear you guys.
Speaker 10 (52:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (52:25):
The venue also matters, like if you're in it, if
it's a stadium thing and you're like sitting there talking
to someone in your seats. Yeah yeah, So what now
if you're in a bar? I agree, Okay, maybe go
somewhere else. There's a bar right there, Go stand at
the bar and talk if you want it. Okay, fine,
But I don't know, man, I don't. I think everybody's there.
I know it's a collective experience, but everybody's also there
(52:47):
because they want to be there, and how they choose
to enjoy it is up to them. You want to dance,
you want to sing, you want to do whatever.
Speaker 22 (52:52):
Good.
Speaker 4 (52:53):
I hate that you can't just yet. But dancing is silent. No,
I know, but you got you caught crap for doing
that show? Was that you told me to sit down?
Speaker 5 (53:02):
Oh, Eddie money, Eddie money, Right, twenty years ago, you
couldn't have the experience you wanted to have because people
weren't having that as a collective experience.
Speaker 10 (53:10):
That's not fair to you.
Speaker 5 (53:11):
I guess I'm trying to figure out how we can
all coexist in these public situations. I understand why people
who are sitting down behind me want me to sit
down if I'm standing up now, that's not my optimal
way to have a show, is me sitting down and watching.
Speaker 10 (53:27):
But again it was Eddie Money. That's an older crowd.
Speaker 5 (53:30):
Again, this is twenty years ago, right, so those people
then would have probably been my age now.
Speaker 4 (53:35):
But I don't want to sit and watch Eddie Money
hey down in front. Yeah, it tries me crazy. It's
fine in certain settings.
Speaker 5 (53:44):
Well, but also when we turned around, my friends and
I turned around because we were like lit up, we
were in the bag anyway, turned around like everyone was
sitting down, and so I'm like, okay, Well, you do
have to allow for the fact that if you are
in a distinct minority in a crowd, you kind of
have to acquiesce to the mob a little bit, for sure.
(54:05):
But if you're standing there and people are next to you, jess,
if you guys are performing, I bet anything, you're not
up there within ears, So you're up there if people
are talking or yelling, and granted it's a bar and
you guys are like doing a regular thing, but you
can hear them talking. Oh, if they're having really loud conversations,
Oh for sure. And it is different if you're like
(54:26):
doing a gig in a bar, as opposed to a
show where everybody's ticketed and gone to see a band
at the Agora. Right, if they're like, hey, cobout dow,
we got two dollars, watch a MC call it's and
sushi roles playing, that is a different situation than Hey,
I'm front row at coheedon Camber or whatever. But again,
(54:48):
if you've ever gone to more than one show, you're
gonna be if you're gonna have that conversation with people talking,
you're gonna have that conversation at every show. And I
don't know that that's a hill you want to die on.
Speaker 4 (55:01):
Yeah, I mean I went and saw Mammoth with a
buddy of mine and we talked during points. Not anything crazy,
but hey, what's uh, what's your wife up to tonight?
Speaker 22 (55:11):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (55:11):
Whatever, she's sitting at home.
Speaker 4 (55:13):
Move during the music during one of the bands, somebody
asked me what I was doing and where Melissa was
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (55:18):
Yeah, it's like the opening band, Yeah, Miles Kennedy.
Speaker 10 (55:21):
Yeah, no, no, that was the Uh what was either
return to dust?
Speaker 20 (55:25):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (55:25):
You gotcha?
Speaker 10 (55:26):
So I mean, yeah, I don't know, man.
Speaker 4 (55:28):
I just I feel like if everyone is there, everyone
is there for a purpose, right, if you want to
be there because you love this band you love, maybe
they maybe the band that this guy was there to see.
Speaker 10 (55:41):
These dudes didn't love as much. That's what I'm saying. Like,
I'm not trying to yuck.
Speaker 5 (55:45):
Anybody's young, and I would never tell another person at
a show, hey, don't do what you're doing. I would
move right. That guy got really indignant. They're like, hey,
move and I'm not moving, Like I'll move. It's fine,
same reason. I'm not a road rager. Go ahead, get
in front of me.
Speaker 10 (56:05):
Oh see.
Speaker 4 (56:05):
No, if somebody told me a concert to go stand
at the bar and talk, I would be absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (56:09):
I would talk louder, right, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (56:12):
Yeah, I would get absolutely that's not gonna happen, and
they're gonna talk to me like that.
Speaker 10 (56:18):
Well, It's funny.
Speaker 5 (56:19):
Like we on the way to my mom's house for
Thanksgiving for the hotel rather we pulled off, scooped up,
my son got back on the high you know whatever,
and it's nuts to butts, it's all. It's it's Wednesday
before Thanksgiving. It's two in the afternoon, and in Chicago
you're already in full on even on a regular non
(56:40):
holiday day, you're in full on rush hour after two o'clock,
three o'clock, and so we're crawling. And you'll always have
those people who come from the far right where they merge.
They pull past everyone and then want to merge last minute. Yeah,
and my wife gets so mesh, she goes, don't let
that guy. I go, I'm gonna let him in. I'm
(57:01):
not an It's fine. You know, you got all these
people that are indignant intro I'm not letting that guy in.
Why let him in?
Speaker 10 (57:09):
See, I get that way with certain things.
Speaker 8 (57:11):
It's fine, all.
Speaker 5 (57:13):
Going in the same direction. We're all going five miles
an hour. But why is that person more important than you?
Why can that person do what they want? Because so
I'm going to get there two minutes before this.
Speaker 10 (57:24):
No, this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (57:26):
You're with her. This is what I'm saying my brain.
I go, it's not that important.
Speaker 10 (57:30):
It's civilian.
Speaker 5 (57:31):
Please go go, I go, you go, I go. Why
do you get to different than everybody else. Because some
people don't understand civility. Some people don't know how to
live in a society I do, and so I go
go ahead. That makes them an a hole, and they
should be taught, yes, but they're not gonna a holes
don't ever learn lessons. That's why they're a holes. They
(57:51):
don't ever learn lessons. You're not going to teach them lessons,
definitely not in rush hour traffic. So I go go ahead.
I wag of them in.
Speaker 10 (58:00):
Oh, simple manners things drives me. Those are the things
that drive me the most.
Speaker 5 (58:03):
This is I am a big proponent of manners, right,
but these people aren't my children. I teach my children
that so they can coexist with other people, many of
whom have no manners. So I'm like, I have to
allow for other people, not to an extreme degree. But again,
if we're in five mile an hour rush hour traffic
and this guy comes all he could emerged back there,
(58:25):
Yeah he didn't because he went all the way up
because he knew he knew somebody would let him and
I did. And he believes that he's more important than
every single other person in that line. I don't know
what he believes just as I just know that that
was the route he took.
Speaker 4 (58:43):
His actions dictate that he could care less about anybody
else on the road, and wherever he has to go
is way more important than wherever you have to go.
Speaker 10 (58:50):
Yeah, those people understood.
Speaker 5 (58:54):
I'm just saying, I'm not gonna teach anybody a lesson
under those circumstances.
Speaker 10 (58:58):
He's not gonna go.
Speaker 5 (58:59):
You know what, that guy let me in.
Speaker 10 (59:01):
I should really re evaluate my because no one does.
Speaker 4 (59:05):
If nobody lets him in and he ends up smashing
his car into a guardrail, then maybe he learns a lesson.
Speaker 10 (59:10):
Well, because he is a douche.
Speaker 5 (59:12):
Had we been going fifty miles an hour, that would
have been a different situation. But literally we're going five
miles an hour. It's nuts to butts, you know, on
the expressway, and I'm like, go ahead, bro, the other
one that drives me crazy, I'm taking one. In my mind,
I'm taking one for the team.
Speaker 10 (59:28):
When people hop into the breakdown lane and they fly
past that to get to the exit faster when there's traffic, Yeah,
all those people, I'll just I'll put the nose of
my car into the breakdown lanes and be like, yeah, now,
what now what you dick head?
Speaker 5 (59:41):
So you're like actively trying to jam people up in
that system in that If you're gonna do that, absolutely yeah.
But my thing is that's just cathartic for you. That
makes you feel good, but it doesn't doesn't have anything,
it doesn't make you. I wish I didn't get mad.
I would love to be the person that you are
and say like, eh, whatever, it is, what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
It drives me crazy because if there's eighty five cars
in a line, what makes that one guy more important
than anybody else in that line?
Speaker 10 (01:00:08):
Understood that? And that's why I will not let people in.
Speaker 5 (01:00:11):
But no, people don't do People don't think that way.
People are like, I'm gonna go when I need to go,
and I'm because in my brain, I'm like, I'm sure
I've done that before, and so I don't believe in karma.
I'm just saying that, like you know, if you believe
in balancer, I'm like, I'm sure I've done that to
someone else before. I'll let this guy in it. And
(01:00:32):
it's always the same car too. If it was a
line of people trying to get in, then you got
to have a different situation. But it was very clear
no one was gonna let this guy in because of
what he did. Yeah, and my wife's riding shotgun. Obviously,
my son's a backseat. My daughter and she's like, do
not I go? He I go. It's fine, it's fine.
See I should wish I like you, I'm not changing
(01:00:55):
either of our lives by boxing this dude out.
Speaker 10 (01:01:00):
A lot of times they're like on their phone.
Speaker 5 (01:01:01):
I don't like that because then you're not paying attention
to anything, right, Like, bro, put your goddamn phone down,
all right and make the decisions.
Speaker 10 (01:01:09):
But yeah, yeah, it's just it's common courtesy. Man, it's
respect for your fellow person that no. I fully agree.
But a lot of people that does not resonate. Oh
I know, I know it.
Speaker 5 (01:01:21):
I wish everybody was like that. Did you see Shirley
Manson go off? Okay, listen. I don't know what happens.
I know that the business is very different. I know
artists feel like they're getting screwed left and right. Gen
(01:01:42):
X artists because they really did have a heyday. I
always think about artists coming up now. First of all,
you don't get into the arts because you're hoping to
get rich, right, I didn't get into this.
Speaker 16 (01:01:54):
They can.
Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
I'd ever make any money. I started in stand up.
Did not get into that because I thought I was
gonna get rich and famous. Didn't get it into this
because I thought I was going to get rich. So
the very good living I've made in this business, it's
all gravy. I never expected anything from anything. However, a
lot of these older bands, because they remember the days
when things were awesome now they get all crusty. Where
(01:02:18):
the kids who are coming up that still want to
be artists, they have different pathways, right, they have different
technology available to them. Make no mistake. If this technology
had been available to Gen X artists, we would have
used it too, of course. But Shirley Manson and Garbage
was They're on a farewell to her. Garbage was just
in Cleveland. They played the Agora. I was going to go,
(01:02:40):
but then something came up. I mean, it was the
night before Mike Polk's wedding. Actually, I tell you went
to Mike Polk's wedding rep.
Speaker 10 (01:02:45):
No, I didn't hear.
Speaker 5 (01:02:46):
I hang out Tim Disney and all the part event.
Speaker 10 (01:02:50):
Oh my god, it was the social event of the year.
Speaker 5 (01:02:52):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (01:02:52):
I didn't know anything about it AnyWho.
Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
I don't know if she went off on people at
the Agora. I know Shirley Manson has said it. It's
just not worth it for us to tour anymore other
than on the coasts she goes Financially, it doesn't make sense.
And I understand all that they were doing some show
at a This was a festival in Australia and there
was a beach ball going around and she flips out,
(01:03:18):
so obviously it's not about the guy. It's not about
beach balls whatever, right, But they're like old krusty artists now,
and I always hate to see that happen. These are
people of my generation and I love when people kind
of maintain a certain perspective throughout their career. These people
that were at some and it's an age old story
(01:03:40):
that idealism can turn into something else as you get older,
get a little bit more jaded. But I still hate
to see it. Yeah, somebody was she stopped the show
to go off, you know, I mean drop an F
bomb saying this guy's a tiny d like it's clearly
not about him or the beach ball she's unloading. This
(01:04:00):
is heavily edited, by the way I would I chopped
a lot of this up. I would tell you to
find it on YouTube.
Speaker 23 (01:04:05):
Can if you're big peacefall, I'm so scared of you,
so thrilled by you.
Speaker 8 (01:04:15):
What a bag.
Speaker 10 (01:04:17):
By the way, nobody is trying to instill fear in you.
Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
With a beach ball.
Speaker 10 (01:04:21):
I didn't think so. Yeah, okay, literally makes me.
Speaker 25 (01:04:26):
Want to bag people to go over there and punch
you in the Face's suspectful.
Speaker 7 (01:04:32):
I music is had enough.
Speaker 23 (01:04:35):
Tape Fortually, I'm fan of a five of place Forduce
spags like you, you're a middle last man and ridiculous hat.
Speaker 8 (01:04:44):
I literally want to ask people to push you in
the face.
Speaker 5 (01:04:48):
A lady, Yeah, listen, I know she's a Scottish lass
and uh you know she can throw down with the
best of them. But it's like, it's not an insult
to say you're a middle aged man. That's your crowd.
If your garbage hit in twenty twenty five, right, it's
a gen X band, you're a middle aged man. She's
(01:05:09):
he's got a tiny wiener and all this stuff. I'm like,
what is happening right now? This guy's like, no, everybody's
looking at him.
Speaker 10 (01:05:15):
Yeah, Now, I'm not a.
Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Beach ball guy to show either, But Holy Christ, shut
up and play stupid girl, right, beach Bulls beach.
Speaker 8 (01:05:26):

That moose sneak.

I'm like reding beech holes thousand Polisean, You're just.

Like some msual who.
Speaker 8 (01:05:47):
Actually is important in this life.
Speaker 10 (01:05:50):
Here's the problem is going.
Speaker 5 (01:05:52):
The other guys in the band are like, we just
want to play, like butch Vig is sitting there behind
the drums like I'm not some grub man, you know, Like,
can we just get back to play?
Speaker 10 (01:06:02):
My friend Nicole's playing bass.
Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
If you watch, she steps out right, she steps out
of that whole shot right, She's like, Oh, I got
to get the hell out of here.
Speaker 10 (01:06:10):
Yeah, time to go. You go ahead have fun.
Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
By the way, it wasn't beach Ball Backlash one of
those franky Avalon movies from the sixties.
Speaker 10 (01:06:20):
Beach Ballash.
Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
Yeah, Paul Lynde is in it, right, was the guy
with the tiny ween or going beach Ball Blessing beach
Ball blessing?
Speaker 10 (01:06:30):
Each ball backlash?
Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
But Holy Christ, and I love Shirley Manson, I love garbage,
But when she throws everything against the wall right, So
we're tired of getting paid and it's like, no, I understand,
imagine kids that are getting going now. You guys did
really well for a while. That's why you didn't have
to tour for ten years. That's why this is such
(01:06:54):
a big deal because you all were well established artists
coming up now and getting seven cents per you know,
two thousand plays on Spotify.
Speaker 10 (01:07:06):
You already made money.
Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
Yeah, they toured and sold records and you know. So
same thing with Morrissey. Every time this guy gets up there,
he's just a crusty old git. I hate to see
these artists that I really enjoyed back and again I listen.
I know, people change. You know, I'm not as idealistic
as I once was, but I think that i've I've
really not gone as far in the other direction as
(01:07:32):
a lot of people do.
Speaker 10 (01:07:34):
She's very very vocal about the Palestine thing, so I
think that that's more.
Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
But where's But she's always going off on somebody to show,
but usually it's because like, hey, that guy's trying to
grab that girl like that kind of stuff. That's different
that I get. But getting mad because there's a beach ball.
It's disrespectful to the artists.
Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
Like you said, it's never the beach ball. It's never
the that event that was the working made snap.
Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
One in the audience.
Speaker 22 (01:08:02):
Man.
Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
Yeah, but according to you shouldn't do any you'd go
ahead with the beach ball, but don't talk. Yeah, no
fun at this game. Beach balls are silent.
Speaker 5 (01:08:15):
Now. If you got two talking beach balls, I don't
care for that at all. You see a beach ball
at the Sushi Roll show, you better be careful because
Jess is up there with a knitting needle. She will
pop that some bitch or a knife. A knife that's worse.
Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
Now pronounce you man, a knife noise So that full
Shirley Manson rant you can find it.
Speaker 10 (01:08:42):
Boy, I chop that up.
Speaker 5 (01:08:43):
But good for you. But holy cow, and again, I
like Shirley Manson. I like garbage back in the day. Boy,
she was like one of my rock and roll crushes
with Shirley man you know, but she's she's sixty years
old now, like I understand, But you guys really did
have a good run. You're you're not some up and
(01:09:04):
coming artist who's being disrespected at every turn.
Speaker 10 (01:09:08):
You're to be in an a hole who to wear
the bitch ball your Boston.
Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
You've made a powerfect enemy.
Speaker 10 (01:09:17):
Who do you think you had?
Speaker 8 (01:09:19):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (01:09:20):
What are you english?
Speaker 10 (01:09:23):
The Allen Cox Show.
Speaker 8 (01:09:25):
On one hundred points.
Speaker 13 (01:09:30):
Call the Allan Cox Show.
Speaker 10 (01:09:31):
Because he's my best friend.
Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
He's my pow, he's my home boy, my rotten soldier,
he's my sweet cheese, my good time boy.
Speaker 13 (01:09:38):
You want six five seven eight one double oh seven.
Speaker 10 (01:09:40):
Or one three four eight one double oh seven.
Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
Three five, and I'll show me a text. I'll see
it even if I don't respond. My Heart Radio app.
If you're one of our hones state listeners, let me
know where you are. Make sure that you're on our map.
Your Cavalier's not back on the floor until Friday night.
You got NBA Cup stuff going on until they go
(01:10:12):
to DC to play the Wizards on Friday night. That
is a seven o'clock tip off here in WMMS six
thirty pre games, when your coverage will begin. They will
be back here at home on Sunday. That's a three
point thirty start against the Charlotte Hornets, and then they
play the Bulls back to back next Wednesday, they'll play
them in Chicago they United Center, and then Friday the
(01:10:34):
nineteenth here at home. I will have those tickets for
you the remainder of the week Cavs tickets against the
Bulls for a week from Friday five ten. All this
week is when you can get those tickets. Texts about
people talking at shows? What about talking at stand up shows?
(01:10:54):
That is a particularly egregious situation when people talk at
stand up shows, because it's one thing if there's a
band playing music and people are raising their voice to
try to be heard by each other with the music.
When it's talking against talking, that's a whole other thing.
Rich in Northfield, Alan, I won Blackstone Cherry tickets from you,
(01:11:16):
and I'm going to the show tonight and I'm gonna.
Speaker 10 (01:11:19):
Yap my ass off.
Speaker 14 (01:11:22):
Rich.
Speaker 10 (01:11:23):
Well done, Rich, You shut your hormuth. Rich, You do
whatever you want at that show. Have fun.
Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
And if anybody knows fun me, yeah, well I'm captain
Fun because you are really fun.
Speaker 27 (01:11:38):
I'm not good. Afternoon, Allen and Rob. This is Ron
listening from Corning, New York. I have a joke for
you that I know especially Rob will appreciate. What is
the only diamond in the world not worth anything? Neil
diamond as the ankey time I cannot stand that stupid
Sweet Caroline song and every drunken Bostonian I think I'm
(01:12:03):
they're cool. It repulses me. But anyways, have a good day, guy.
Speaker 5 (01:12:09):
All right? Yeah, I mean, look Corning. You've been to
Corning in New York. I have It's it's in the
Pennsylvania border, right Corning up there, and yeah, I'm not
sure it's been ages, but I have been there. Yeah,
it's on the schamung River.
Speaker 10 (01:12:24):
Rob. I agree with him on the song. I don't
agree with him on Neil Diamond. I happened to like Neil.
I love Neil Diamond.
Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
Yeah, so, ron Uh, you can stay up there in Corning,
New York and walk into the shamung River with rocks
in your pockets. Damn too much? A little bit Alan
dancing isn't silent for me. I wear tap shoes when
I go see a show.
Speaker 10 (01:12:48):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
I had to explain, by the way, to my nine
year old that tap shoes are specific shoes. She thought
that tap dancers just wore regular shoes and just dropped
their feet harder, and I was like, that's a great thought,
but no, there's actual metal plates on the bottom that
really project the noise. My brother, my youngest brother. He
(01:13:11):
was a gymnast growing up, Junior Olympics and the whole bit.
He was a teacher for many, many years before he
got into his current line of work. But there was
a very short period of time where he took tap
lessons and I just remember that click click click of
you know, cause you got to support your sibling. And again,
(01:13:31):
he's five years younger than me. And this is when
he was younger, so I was very much in the
same way as I am now, Rob. Even back then,
I was only five years older than he was. Really, yeah,
oh it didn't change over time. Now we've been able
to really kind of maintain that distance.
Speaker 10 (01:13:48):
You would think the older you got, the more the
distance would be.
Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
That's what I thought. But it turns out I'm terrible
at math. Fascinating alan traffic. It blows my mind how
many people aren't familiar with the ZIPPEROD.
Speaker 17 (01:14:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
No, it's not that they're not familiar. They don't care.
Because somebody else said, you're actually supposed to drive as
far up as possible before merging because that's best for
the flow of traffic. Now I think that is true.
I don't think that's what this person was doing. I
don't think this person was some kind of civil engineer.
Where they were. You know, they were just going way
(01:14:23):
up there. It's like the people who pass you on
the left on the shoulder. Yeah, they go all the
way up on the left. Like, okay, bro, I guarantee
there's no place you have to get that's that important
right now. But I'm not honking. I'm not flipping somebody off. Fine,
(01:14:43):
if you can't manage your time and your distance, go ahead,
get in there, because you know what, in my mind, Rob,
I'm taking them off the board that way. They're not
going to cause problems for anyone else. I'm taking them
off the board. Go ahead, you get in front of me,
and I've done my good deed for the day.
Speaker 15 (01:15:06):
Now.
Speaker 5 (01:15:06):
If you know anything about me, I try to keep
my good deeds. I don't do one a day, so
people have their good deed of the day. I'm not
that prolific. If I get a few in a month,
I think I'm ahead. Alan, I'm purely pure cringe. I'm
embarrassed for Shirley Manson. Yeah, I think that was lame,
(01:15:31):
very very lame. Alan. They talked to the beach ball guy.
He detests Spotify, prides himself the fact that he's never
actually streamed their music.
Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Yeah, I think he owns every single one of their
albums and he's seen them like a hundred times.
Speaker 10 (01:15:45):
There's some story.
Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
Behind the guy, how he's like this old school fan
who's just this enormous Like he's enamored with Shirley Manson
in that band.
Speaker 5 (01:15:53):
Also, if you saw the footage in Australia, it looked
pretty sunny, and she is on record is only being
pleased when there's precipitation, right, isn't she known for that?
Speaker 10 (01:16:10):
She's only happy when it rains. If that's what you're
referring to. That's what.
Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
All I do is say it and Rob spikes it.
That's all I do.
Speaker 10 (01:16:19):
I just wait, I wait, yeah, see. I wanted you to.
I wanted you to think. Does he really not know
this song?
Speaker 14 (01:16:25):
He knows?
Speaker 10 (01:16:26):
He was making me wait for it?
Speaker 5 (01:16:31):
Alan, what's the Christmas song with the bus crash we
played the last week? Played the last week.
Speaker 10 (01:16:38):
Daddy didn't make it home.
Speaker 5 (01:16:41):
It's called an old fashioned Christmas Daddy's Home from Linda
Bennett right where the kids are singing and they're excited
at their dad's coming home, and then the radio cuts
in that has just been a a bus accident?
Speaker 8 (01:16:53):
Is right home, time's gone.
Speaker 7 (01:17:00):
Christmas with all the children.
Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
By the way, your mission, should you choose to accept it.
I'm talking to the handful of you who regularly submit
AI content to the show, and for is you should
rework this song to just make it fully twisted? Is
an AI version.
Speaker 10 (01:17:24):
Source material? Is already weird.
Speaker 28 (01:17:30):
Christmas for my children? The body and mel naked.
Speaker 8 (01:17:41):
Sir five, what.
Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
We'll starting to interrupt this program, but a bulletin has
just been handed me. There's been a serious accident involving
the number five bus out of New Haven. The early
information we have is that the bus skitted on a
patch of ice, slammed.
Speaker 29 (01:18:00):
Into a tree.
Speaker 10 (01:18:01):
Stay tuned to the station, look.
Speaker 8 (01:18:03):
Further the tables.
Speaker 5 (01:18:07):
Mommy, isn't that the bus anyway? Turns out spoiler, Dad's fine.
He has to ring the doorbell in his own home though, Yeah,
to get in. So a couple of continuity problems. But boy,
you could never hold Linda Bennett down.
Speaker 10 (01:18:25):
Mommy already changed the locks. Guys, Like, what the hell?
Speaker 5 (01:18:29):
Man, Hey, I'm not da He's putting his face in
the frost.
Speaker 10 (01:18:35):
Hello, kids, Jesus, where's the dog? Won't even look at
what the hell's going on?
Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
Here's that guy with his tongue down Jesus. Hello God,
I was gone for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 10 (01:18:48):
I just walked all the way here because the goddamn
other bus crashed. How's wrong with you? People?
Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
Ellen? Did a New Yorker really call you complaining about
somebody else being annoying? Well, they're in Corning, New York.
He just doesn't like Neil Diamond. That's where he and
I part company.
Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
Yeah again, I'm with him on Sweet Caroline. I think
that song sucks. But yeah, I mean I can't.
Speaker 10 (01:19:13):
I can't say nothing about Neil Diamond. I love Neil Diamond.
Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
Alan, Shirley Manson and Rob have pretty much the same
opinions on this because a beach ball is a party
decoration and the venue is her workplace.
Speaker 10 (01:19:29):
Wow, that is some top tier synthesis.
Speaker 7 (01:19:34):
You got me?
Speaker 10 (01:19:34):
Yeah, well done? Would surely no?
Speaker 8 (01:19:39):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (01:19:42):
How much did teenager Alan make fun of little baby
Alan's brother tap dancing face? I didn't.
Speaker 10 (01:19:48):
I support my siblings and you were too old? It
was like at that point, you're too old to make
fun of your siblings for alt right. Yeah he was eight.
I was thirteen, like you know is eight plus five.
Speaker 5 (01:19:57):
Thirteen eleven twelve thirteen. Yeah see, I was thirteen. I mean,
I have my own problems. It wasn't like I was
some you know, cock of the walk. Come on, man,
I got Brian wants in Brian. Yeah, boy, you want
to get some whiplash going from Linda Bennett to Brian.
Speaker 10 (01:20:16):
Now you're gonna know the song. It's a great song.
Speaker 7 (01:20:21):
Theurre ain't no good gush. There ain't no bad gush.
There's only you and me. We just disagree.
Speaker 10 (01:20:32):
Remember that song Dave Mason for everybody.
Speaker 5 (01:20:34):
Dave Mason from from Well, that was his big song.
I guess Dave what he was in traffic with Winwood. See,
Dave Mason was in traffic with Steve Winwood and then
when and then when Steve winn I don't know if
they were in the Spencer Davis band or what, but
Dave Mason went solo when Winwood.
Speaker 10 (01:20:55):
Let me think of the timeframe.
Speaker 5 (01:20:56):
Dave Mason went solo when Winwood went to Blind Faith.
I think that's what happened. They were in traffic and
then Dave Mason, had we just disagree. It's a great song.
By the way, I don't know what year, seventies, early seventies.
Speaker 10 (01:21:14):
Probably maybe, Yeah, let's have let's have a little bit sieving.
Speaker 7 (01:21:22):
There ain't no good we're cancy out bad Gosh, there's
only you and me. We just Didream.
Speaker 10 (01:21:41):
Seventy seven.
Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
Oh that late Oh, I thought it was early seventies.
Seventy seven. That was on the radio all the time
when I was a kid. Great song, yat rock. You
think that's the irack? Oh yeah, Dave Mason really much?
Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
So?
Speaker 10 (01:21:54):
Yeah, you don't think so, I don't.
Speaker 5 (01:21:57):
I guess I never thought about it anytime I hear
that song, you like, I feel.
Speaker 10 (01:22:01):
Like that absolutely belongs on a yacht rock collection, I guess.
Speaker 30 (01:22:04):
So, so let's leave it alone because we can't see
out the cartman versions, right, Yeah, in a way?
Speaker 10 (01:22:19):
Have you seen you in?
Speaker 8 (01:22:20):
Where are you being?
Speaker 15 (01:22:23):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (01:22:23):
They're not together anymore. I forgot.
Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
I was thinking. I was thinking that this was him
and his girl just fighting. But but they disagree on
what tore them apart.
Speaker 8 (01:22:38):
Right, since you've lost your.
Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
For me, either one of us is a bad guy
bad We just can't agree in anything.
Speaker 5 (01:22:54):
So they are together, they're not together. They aren't That's
how I always thought, right.
Speaker 10 (01:23:00):
But he says if you lost your feel from.
Speaker 7 (01:23:01):
That, there ain't no bad guys. There ain't no there
ain't no bad guys.
Speaker 10 (01:23:12):
And yeah, Brian c blocking you there in the middle
of that.
Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
I was all in on that song that I've tapping
my foot going in the tap shoes going over. That's right. Yeah,
it's tap shoe Tuesday.
Speaker 10 (01:23:27):
Jess.
Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
You guys should work in. We just disagree into your
pop heavy set. Oh yeah, when do you guys stop down?
Is there a ballad? There's got I mean, there's an
ebb and a flow to any kind of long set
like that. It can't all be what's like my octane
pop music? Yeah you do Kokomo?
Speaker 14 (01:23:46):
Yeah, now we don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:23:48):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:23:49):
Isn't that a crowd pleaser? Even if you hate the song?
Isn't that a crowd pleasing? I think it's all more
currents right, like you guys are doing all.
Speaker 16 (01:23:55):
I mean, we're all I was gonna go from bon
Jovi to Lady Gaga see her or bon Jovi might
as well be nineteen fifties.
Speaker 10 (01:24:02):
Cocomo isn't like a No Cocomo's minute.
Speaker 5 (01:24:05):
It'll be a fun one.
Speaker 10 (01:24:07):
So what do you think the oldest song that you
guys do is.
Speaker 16 (01:24:11):
See It's like I totally just black it all out.
You know, I'm not playing. I'd have to look at
a set list. I was gonna say, do you have
it taped to the stage or do you know it?
Speaker 22 (01:24:19):
Oh?
Speaker 14 (01:24:20):
I know it like the back of my hand. Dude,
we don't.
Speaker 16 (01:24:22):
We don't have like a strict set list, Like the
first three songs, four songs are always the same.
Speaker 10 (01:24:27):
And then who calls him out?
Speaker 14 (01:24:29):
The drummer?
Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
Okay, like and I just know does he have to
count you off or no? Nope, okay Mike.
Speaker 14 (01:24:35):
It's like he'll say certain things or I'll hear a
beat and I just know exactly what it is.
Speaker 10 (01:24:40):
Wow, Oh this is walk this way.
Speaker 5 (01:24:43):
Hell, let's do this one. Jeremiah has sent us a
metal version of Rob Hates Ducks.
Speaker 10 (01:24:49):
Oh boy, oh please, it's gonna be hard to beat
that first one.
Speaker 14 (01:25:00):
Oh I feel a pit boat.
Speaker 5 (01:25:02):
Yeah, the pity of your stomach already the original voice
of skin wrong.
Speaker 9 (01:25:18):
Here, ain't quack conta that sucking he robs, ain't quick
conte that sucks.
Speaker 8 (01:25:28):
He said, Yo, my neighbors got ducks.
Speaker 10 (01:25:34):
Wow, it's pretty good. Yeah, the music is terrific. I
just I'm so used to You're.

I leave, I hear the ducks go.
Speaker 5 (01:25:55):
Okay, hey, hey, Well I hear his quack quack quack
like a Donald duck and the.
Speaker 7 (01:26:01):
Quack season.
Speaker 8 (01:26:04):
Dunna dun dunk dunk, goose move dunk dunk.
Speaker 10 (01:26:18):
I mean that song is better than most things I
hear on a weekly basis.
Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
This is what I'm saying. Like, you could put Taylor
Momson or Lizzie Hale in there and they would destroy that.
Speaker 10 (01:26:29):
The song was clearly written the way that the lyrics
are for the rap version. Lyrics put him in.
Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
So it feels a little odd in a metal song,
but my god, the music is perfect.
Speaker 10 (01:26:43):
M do sushi roll do Margaritaville. You don't write? Didn't
we talk about that?
Speaker 14 (01:26:49):
Now we don't know?

Thank godess Ellen, What is just wearing?

Yes, oh here, here's the bigger veil.

There you go.
Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
Yep, a scarf and then she's got the touke on
because it's cold. That I was gonna say, it's more
like a shawl than a scarf.

Right now, it's a scarf.
Speaker 10 (01:27:12):
Oh it is. You bunch it up and wrap it her.
Oh so you can like really bundle it.

pulled up so she can use her headphones. Yeah, that's

Sushiro merch. Yours is a ball cap. I was a

Charlotte are going on a tour.

Hell is that?
Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
It doesn't that feel like someone was just like, Okay,

them against the wall, and whoever comes up is who
the pairing is going to be.
Speaker 10 (01:28:45):
Yeah, it's very I mean Charlotte.
Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
I guess I kind of give them some credit for
trying to mix things up, because you know, people can
like more than one kind of thing, you know, so
maybe they're just trying to think outside the box. We
got Good Chart do an hour alter ego thing in LA,
and they're making a big deal about the fact that
it's like their first show in LA in ten years.
Speaker 10 (01:29:06):
I'm like, they live up the street.
Speaker 5 (01:29:07):
Why has it been a decade since they played, and
so maybe this is their you know, their their big
return to the road or whatever.
Speaker 10 (01:29:15):
But with Avenge Sevenfold, I guess just call it the
not with a gun in my mouth tour.
Speaker 5 (01:29:19):
I don't think it's coming here though, So if you
like those bands, you're gonna have to travel.
Speaker 10 (01:29:23):
It's probably Detroit, Toronto or something like that. Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5 (01:29:25):
I don't think it's coming here, but I saw that
they've made a big announcement Avenge Sevenfold PATROLO, Like that's weird.
I mean, I guess good for them, but I don't
care about either of those bands. But trying something different,
I guess Ellen Cark Show.
Speaker 11 (01:29:37):
On one hundred point.
Speaker 18 (01:29:39):
Seven, did you miss because we missed you? Well, not
Jerry from Willoughby, but the rest of you.
Speaker 10 (01:29:50):
Ellen Cark Show.
Speaker 29 (01:29:52):
On one seven Domma England Station, November's Hill. A panel
of pieda on the window sill with a circle cut out.
Speaker 8 (01:30:03):
Oh what a sight.
Speaker 29 (01:30:05):
The mystery grew in the fading line, snowflakes, fallen, whispers grow.
Speaker 7 (01:30:13):
What's behind that panel's glow? That's the glorious?
Speaker 8 (01:30:21):
What could it be a portal to joy or a mystery.
Speaker 5 (01:30:26):
We got the reminder email about this our iHeart Christmas
party tomorrow whichever year happens while we're on the air,
so we get over there for like the last thirty
minutes of it.
Speaker 10 (01:30:38):
They said there's gonna be a.
Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
Special iHeart Christmas Cosmo rock. Yeah, everyignature drink and heavy apps?
Is that heavy apps? Well, light apps would be like
canapees and a piece of cheese on a cracker or something.
So what's a heavy apply a more opulent spread, heavy apps,
(01:31:00):
heavy petting? I certainly hope. So, although I don't want
to have to fend off any of my co workers,
Will says.
Speaker 4 (01:31:09):
Heavy apps are substantial filling starters, rich in proteins, carbs
or fats, stuffed mushrooms, meat ball skewers.
Speaker 10 (01:31:18):
Or hardy dips.
Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
Oh you know what I like. Are like when you
put when you have like a little crock pot, so
you heat up some barbecue sauce in it, and then
you put little Smokey's in there. Oh you think that's
what they'll do. You think they'll have a giant crockpot
full of barbecue sauce and little.
Speaker 4 (01:31:31):
Smokies, tons of tiny wieners running around in there, but
I don't think they'll be there.
Speaker 10 (01:31:36):
You may knock pots until we show up, that's right.
Speaker 22 (01:31:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:31:40):
Uh, well, we told Jess that she should go.
Speaker 5 (01:31:42):
She's gonna go because that way we can introduce her
to people, right, we can go, hey, this is Jess,
and then she'll take advantage of heavy.
Speaker 4 (01:31:51):
Apps, Yes, heavy apps, and the you're gonna have the
Christmas Cosmo without the Cosmo?
Speaker 10 (01:31:57):
What would the Christmas cause?
Speaker 5 (01:31:59):
Cosmo? His?
Speaker 13 (01:32:00):
What?
Speaker 10 (01:32:00):
Triple sac and vodka? What's a Cosmopolitan?
Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
Right?
Speaker 10 (01:32:03):
Cranberry juice, cranberry juice, all kinds of crap in that.
Speaker 5 (01:32:07):
Just pretends like she doesn't know. I don't know, although
Cosmopolitan probably was never your go to.
Speaker 20 (01:32:14):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (01:32:17):
Okay, let's see Cosmo recipe.
Speaker 4 (01:32:22):
Citrus flavored vodka, coin troll fresh lime juice, cranberry juice.
Speaker 10 (01:32:29):
It sounds delay lime way.
Speaker 4 (01:32:31):
But now it's but it's a Christmas Cosmo, so it's
gonna have some stupid peppermint stick or something.
Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
Well, or maybe it'll have like pine yeah right, like
uh yeah, I don't mind that pine cone tape, pine cones,
pine cone now, but there's always like some kind of
herbal element, right, A lot of holiday drinks are very herbaceous.
Speaker 14 (01:32:51):
Rot.
Speaker 5 (01:32:51):
Let's see if they have a herb sample, Chris, Now,
should I tell that? Should I tell Keith hodgkis our
grand Pooba here at I Heart Cleveland. Should I te
him that there is a typo in his email signature?
Or should I just let it go there? I missed
it in our email signatures. It lets people know, Hey,
this company is known for radio and podcasts and streaming
(01:33:13):
and live events, all of which you're true. But his
signature says we're known for radio and podcats. Is it
in podcast? It does We're known for podcats. Now, it's
not the end of the world. I want to I
imagine he'd like to know that, And because I'm a
nice guy, I will tell him.
Speaker 10 (01:33:33):
I think we just did. Oh.
Speaker 5 (01:33:35):
I think he's probably busy. Oh no, no, he's listening.
Speaker 22 (01:33:38):
No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 10 (01:33:39):
I guarantee you he'll I'll get a text in a
few minutes. Okay for the letter.
Speaker 5 (01:33:42):
By the way, speaking of podcasts, you saw that this
is the inaugural year for the podcast category of the
Golden Globes. You know Nicky Glazer. Our friend Nicki Glazer
is going back to host the Golden Globes. She knocked
it out of the park. She had a hell of
a year this year, right did the Tom Brady Row,
even though she was quite accomplished by that time. That
(01:34:03):
put her on a lot of people's radars. And then
she hosted the Golden Globes after Ricky Gervais had said
no mo no mo or whoever did it before? Maybe Kimmel,
but Ricky Gervais was kind of the and Nicki Glazer
slips in and again kills it, and so they're having
her back the Golden Globes. For people who care about
award season, that's the Hollywood Foreign Press, so these are
(01:34:26):
journalists from around the world.
Speaker 10 (01:34:28):
There's a bit more of an international.
Speaker 5 (01:34:30):
Feel to the Golden Globes, whereas the Academy Awards the
Oscars are homegrown.
Speaker 10 (01:34:36):
The event of the world.
Speaker 5 (01:34:37):
This is the inaugural year for the podcasting category for
the Golden Globes. Now it's as simple as every celebrity
now has a microphone, and so every celebrity now has
a podcast, right, and the gold So it's not you're
not going to see some people you've never heard of
(01:34:58):
before being nominated for a Golden Globe. It's gonna be
the same people that you've heard of in because the
Golden Globes are not just film either, it's television and film,
you know, So it's all people who are already famous,
who have a microphone and a lot of time, and
so they have a podcast. Because I couldn't figure out,
(01:35:18):
I'm like, why is this a thing? I guess their
thought is, well, we're going to broaden the appeal ostensibly
of this awards ceremony, and this is a good way
to acknowledge people who might not be people you know,
but who might not be actively in films or television. So, boy, Rob,
(01:35:40):
before this was explained to me, you would not believe
how quickly I ran to see if the Alan Cox
Show had been gotten a Golden Globe nomination YEA for
a Best Podcast.
Speaker 10 (01:35:56):
I am embarrassed to tell you it did not.
Speaker 5 (01:36:01):
And I wrote the Hollywood Foreign Press their press person,
and I said, and I was curious, and they said who.
Speaker 4 (01:36:12):
I said, Okay, I'd love if they'd throw the wild
card in there, like you got. The nominees are Joe
Rogan for the Joe Rogan Experience SmartLess Intense Randy for
what grinds my gears. Yeah, yeah, I just want to
thank everybody who.
Speaker 5 (01:36:31):
Yeah, it'd be great. The Intense Randy podcast Intensity Intense
Cities is what it's called. Yes, perfect little nod to
Sweaty Teddy there Randy.
Speaker 16 (01:36:47):
No.
Speaker 5 (01:36:47):
But also you do bring up a good point here
because the nominations. Listen, if you're going to have really
popular podcasts, you have to have.
Speaker 10 (01:37:01):
Political podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:37:02):
But they're avoiding that, so they didn't have left or
right political podcast.
Speaker 13 (01:37:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:37:09):
One of the big ones on the left is called
Pod Save America. Yeah, obviously Joe Rogan, whoever. The other
in cells are Ben Shapiro and you know, so would
Joe not get nominated?
Speaker 10 (01:37:20):
No, these were like entertainment.
Speaker 5 (01:37:21):
So Dax Shepherd, he does one called Armchair Expert, which
has been on for a long time. Good Hang with
Amy Poehler, which is like five episodes in. I think
that's brand new. But again, she's a name. Yeah, just
care about the name. A woman named mel Robbins. Call
her daddy. That's Alex Cooper. I think even if you
don't know the name, it's a very popular podcast. SmartLess.
(01:37:43):
That's my first listen every week, that's Will Arnett. You
listen every week Love SmartLess. Yeah, Sean Hayes Bateman, Jason
Bateman is my spirit animal.
Speaker 10 (01:37:52):
And that dude with the greatest voice in the history
of time, Will Arnette, Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:37:55):
Yeah, he's been doing GMC voiceovers for twenty five years.
He's like that kept he's kept a steady income, whether
or not he was, you know, doing television movies.
Speaker 10 (01:38:06):
He's done everything. He did that Lego Batman movie, O
Jack Horseman. He's got a new film coming out that
they're already saying is Oscar bait?
Speaker 4 (01:38:14):
Well, they it looks like he's What the hell I
saw the preview for this thing on. Yeah, he plays
a stand up right.
Speaker 5 (01:38:19):
I'm and Laura Dern, a guy who's getting divorced and
he stumbles into stand up. It's based on this guide
England Nam John Bishop. But yeah, no, I think SmartLess
is dynamite. I literally, now that Maren's gone, I literally
listened to two podcasts, maybe three. I'll listen to David
from I'll listen to Conan, and I'll listen to SmartLess
like I wanted to listen to Fly on the Wall
(01:38:41):
with Spade and Carvey. But I kind of just again,
when I'm in the car, I don't necessarily want to
hear other people talk because I'm doing it for a living.
But but I love those guys anyway. So they avoided
politics altogether. But some of those are the biggest ones.
It's an old globes, so they want celebrity names. They
(01:39:06):
winnowed twenty five eligible programs down to six, and so
you know, again, it's probably gonna suck for Alex Cooper,
who does call her Daddy. It's a huge podcast, but
again not as well known as Amy Polar Deck Shepherd.
Speaker 10 (01:39:23):
But that may be why they give her the award.
Speaker 4 (01:39:25):
You think, Yes, they can be like, see, we didn't
just pick all right, she was our people.
Speaker 8 (01:39:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:39:33):
So, and again I can't imagine anybody who didn't get
nominated cares what is this going to do because it's
more fodder like right wing types, it's more fodder for them,
ugh libtard, Hollywood whatever, even though they all desperately want
to be part of the club. But yeah, I thought
that was funny. I was like, Okay, so there is
gonna be one person you've never heard of in this
(01:39:54):
thing because it's still a global telecast. They're not going
to have listen. I think the Intense Randy podcast should
be not Golden Globe. But I don't know how many
episodes there are. I don't even know if it's a thing.
(01:40:15):
I know Intense Randy was doing a thing a couple
of years ago. That was when I discovered that the
iHeartRadio app had no gatekeeping.
Speaker 10 (01:40:22):
Yeah, that's what made me think about it.
Speaker 5 (01:40:24):
Yeah, I didn't understand that at the time. I thought
that there was a process you had to go through.
I didn't realize, Oh, that's why we have four million
podcasts on there, because anybody can upload their crap.
Speaker 10 (01:40:35):
That's why we upload this crap because that's what we do.
Speaker 5 (01:40:43):
So the Golden Globe will have their inaugural podcast category. Now,
speaking of microphones, we've talked about this before. AI on
your radio, I heard from Teresa who was our one
bureau chief in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Speaker 10 (01:41:02):
You ever been to Cedar Rapids?
Speaker 20 (01:41:04):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (01:41:04):
You played the Cedar Rapids Yeah, multiple times. Remember that.
What's the name of the place, same place books you
or different places? Is Cedar Rapids a college town?
Speaker 16 (01:41:13):
I think Cedar Rapids We used to play Chrome Horse,
but that plays closed.
Speaker 5 (01:41:17):
Chromehores, Horses, strip Club, Chrome Whores. It's a biker bar
slash strip club.
Speaker 16 (01:41:24):
Welcome to the Stage one where they had a stripper
on the roof and then cage dancers and then people
running around in neon paint.
Speaker 14 (01:41:32):
It was insane.
Speaker 5 (01:41:33):
Oh, that's where they have the National Czech and Slovak Museum.
Rob That must be why there's so much traffic going
through Cedar Rapids.
Speaker 10 (01:41:40):
Makes sense.
Speaker 5 (01:41:42):
But I don't think that there's like a big school there.
There's co College, which they described as one of the
best small colleges in the country. Anyway, I mentioned this
because Teresa listens to us on iHeartRadio in Cedar Rapids
and she said, Hey, check this out, and she sends
me this story about a radio station in Cedar Rapids
(01:42:05):
that has an AI overnight shock.
Speaker 7 (01:42:08):
Did you see this?
Speaker 10 (01:42:09):
Yes, I love the headline.
Speaker 5 (01:42:11):
For two years, DJ Tory has ruled Rock ONEZ eight's
overnight shifts. But she's not real. First of all, nobody
rules the overnight shift, all right, nobody even there's no ratings.
I don't even think it's rated. It didn't used to
be overnights were never rated. That's where you'd put some
kid fresh out of college. You'd pay them nothing and
(01:42:31):
you put them on overnights. Right now, there are no
live overnight people. I mean, we do, we have cap Toni,
but we're a unicorn here at MMS. We're very very
much an outlier. And so you can bet your balls
that Cedar Rapids, Iowa ain't gonna have a live person
on overnights. But okay, DJ Tory, Now obviously you see
the photo, it becomes immediately apparent that is not a
(01:42:53):
real person. This is on her bio page. And I
also can't imagine that people care. The audience for an
overnight radio show in Cedar Rapids is probably in the hundreds.
There's probably nobody listening. You know, here in New York
or Chicago or Los Angeles, you can be on the
overnight program and you have more people than a morning
(01:43:14):
show in Cleveland would have, just because the population the listenership. Anyway,
KFMW is rock one oh eight in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
I'll just read this as written long after the station's
five staff jockeys have gone home. A DJ with a
(01:43:35):
nosering blue hair and full sleeve tattoos takes over the
mic to introduce hard rock tracks. One thing, though she's
not real. They're licensed out of suburban cedar rapids called
Hiawatha Iowa Inta AI.
Speaker 10 (01:43:53):
DJ.
Speaker 5 (01:43:53):
Tory became the first AI host at the station in
twenty twenty three. Program director Russ mottla, why does that
name sound familiar? Russ mottlaugh.
Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
He I think he's one of those dudes that's been
around and like he was tied up in some crap.
I think, Oh, doesn't it sound like like his name
was attached to something not good.
Speaker 10 (01:44:16):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 5 (01:44:17):
I just sound like he's a lot of these guys
that used to be like it with big broadcasting groups.
You know, over time you just end up in cedar
rapids Iowa. I don't know. You move around a lot,
but that names sounded really familiar to me anyway. And
also a lot of these guys are running like half
a dozen radio stations, he said, I've been to a
radio for thirty five years. You've got to take a
(01:44:37):
look at the technologies and integrate them into your program.
They've been upfront about Tory from the start. They refer
to her on air as Ai DJ Tory, so they're
not hiding anything. But again, it's overnights in Cedar Rapids.
The all male air staff has taken the liberty of
(01:44:59):
building a person for her. They feed her pre written
promos with help from chat GPT and I mean again,
you know these photos are going on their Facebook page.
But if they've been upfront about the fact that she's AI,
I guess I don't understand the point of having photos
(01:45:20):
of her, Like, here's a photo of a not real person.
Speaker 10 (01:45:25):
Think they're just trying to say you already know she's
not real, so here's what she looks like.
Speaker 5 (01:45:32):
Toy even made an in person quote appearance at an
event hosted by a local gun shop, so they became
an on air sponsor after hearing her on the air.
That would be a weird conversation, Hey we really, who's
DJ Tory? Well, she's not real, she's AI. Oh we
really like you know, you figure the guys at the
(01:45:52):
gunshop are like, oh, we'd like to buy airtime and
overnights because she sounds really hot.
Speaker 10 (01:45:55):
How do I get her here for an event? Yeah,
you don't.
Speaker 5 (01:45:59):
A generate image of her face was taped to a
mannequin at this appearance outfitted with buttons that visitors could
press to hear her speak and win prizes. That sounds
like a lot of work for very little payoff.
Speaker 10 (01:46:15):
This is why I hate this industry.
Speaker 5 (01:46:17):
This is what well, listen, I guess. My thought is,
if you're in cedar rapids, okay, you have nothing to
work with. You got to make the best of what
little you got. It's true of any market you're in. Obviously,
bigger markets like this one are going to have more resources.
Not so you'd really notice it, but I get what
they're doing. The appearance thing, that's wild. Hey, we have
(01:46:41):
a print out of the fake It's not like she
couldn't be there in person and they just put her
face on a mannequin.
Speaker 10 (01:46:48):
She doesn't exist. Here's some buttons and win some prizes.
Speaker 5 (01:46:54):
Mautlassa's tory was deliberately designed as a woman, a strategic
decision aimed at the station's law argely male audience. Well, no, doy, hey,
let's generate a hot chick and put her on the radio.
Oh good thinking. We have all guys on the air,
and I thought it would be a good balance to
have a woman, he said, brilliant, So if you don't
(01:47:16):
have a woman, you have a computer voice. It sounds
like a woman. You can't market an image of a
guy to guys as you can a woman. He says, well,
he's really pulling the.
Speaker 10 (01:47:27):
Crisis back again. I just love that he agreed to
be quoted along these lines.
Speaker 5 (01:47:33):
It's so self evident guys will respond to a visual
of a woman in a more positive way than they
will a man. Yeah, because imagine what the real life
guys on the air and at this Cedar Rapids rock
station look like.
Speaker 10 (01:47:47):
They don't look anything.
Speaker 5 (01:47:48):
That's the other funny thing is I guarantee you that
the difference is so extreme. It's not like she's some
college girl right that they threw on the air. That's
the way it used to be back in the day.
Fully AI generated. We get to put a good looking,
tatted up rock girl on our socials, and that's good
for the male audience we have. But if you know
(01:48:13):
she's not even if you're a guy in that audience,
you're like.
Speaker 10 (01:48:16):
Gay play more stained.
Speaker 5 (01:48:19):
If you know she's not real, Because what do they
used to say to female jocks back in the day,
Way back in the day. I remember when I would
work with single females or even married females. They would
tell them, hey, don't talk about your husband the guy.
It's pretty old school, but we've been doing this a
(01:48:41):
long time. They would say, we want the appearance of
you being available. That's good for the guys in our audience,
right if they think they have a shot with you,
not like you have to do anything or obviously, but
if you're on the air talking about your husband or
your boyfriend, that might not be the we're trying to convey.
(01:49:03):
I remember, you know single or married female colleagues of
mine on more than one occasion different radio stations. He'd
be like, yeah, just don't talk about your boyfriend. We
want this male audience. Because I worked at mostly rock stations,
we want this male audience too. You know, we want
you to have the perception to be that you're available. Well,
(01:49:26):
the AI jock rob is fully available. You can put
her face on a mannequin. They said that the first
year she sounded wonky and robotic. And see, this is
where I think the rubber meets the road. If you
don't have any authenticity with respect to the person, but
(01:49:46):
you better nail everything else. And they said she still
is a little weird, still mispronounces band names, still sounds
distinctly synthetic, and is nowhere near capable of filling in
free human host, which is precisely how this boss says.
He prefers it really is. I want to hear the
(01:50:10):
band names she mispronounces. I remember when I first got
to Pittsburgh and the night girl said Glove and Special Sauce.
Remember G Love and Special Sauce from Philly. You were
a Pennsylvania band. We were in Pittsburgh, but they were
in Philly, so they did a lot of regional shows.
G Love and Special Sauce is in ninety nine, two
thousand and she called him Glove and Special Sauce, and
(01:50:33):
I was like, Wow, here is we go, Speedwagon. I
really want to hear this.
Speaker 10 (01:50:40):
Oh well, did you hear the sample of her?
Speaker 5 (01:50:42):
We like when she makes mistakes because it highlights the
fact that she's a I what how do you want it?
You want to pretend she's real? Or are you're telling
you no? I haven't heard any of the audience.
Speaker 16 (01:50:52):
I love this.
Speaker 10 (01:50:52):
There's a sample on there? Oh is there on this story? Yeah?
Where one of the links? I think so?
Speaker 22 (01:50:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
Out radio station duped audience and secretly use an AI
host for six months.
Speaker 10 (01:51:05):
No, that was Australian. Did you send it to me?
I don't know that I sent that to you. I
got it this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:51:11):
I know I didn't send it to you. I just
saw what's her name, Teresa, and see the rapid.
Speaker 10 (01:51:16):
Send it to me? Where the hell did I see
it this morning?
Speaker 17 (01:51:18):
Then?
Speaker 10 (01:51:19):
I thought you sent it to me? No reason?
Speaker 4 (01:51:22):
Yeah, because I listened to it. There's in that article.
There's a link to It's terrible. She sounds it's horrible
DJ Torri. I don't know if there are no I
don't see any samples. Yeah, I gotta I'll find it anyways. Yeah,
it's it's trash. Well they describe it as it ain't perfect,
less than perfect.
Speaker 5 (01:51:43):
I just want it. I just want to hear the bands.
She's mispronouncing Rio Speedwagon.
Speaker 4 (01:51:49):
But it's so funny, like these are these are my peers, right,
like this guy, regardless of his market, These are the
people that I have to program with and against. Right,
So when people send these flattering emails about how great
the radio station sounds, and man, how do you come
up with something like that? I just don't have to
be that guy. Just be slightly better than uh, I
(01:52:12):
posted a picture of a hot hey eye chick because
it's good for my brand.
Speaker 10 (01:52:16):
Just be a little bit smarter than that, and you're golden.
That's it?
Speaker 4 (01:52:20):
Or I mean, yeah, I don't know. There's nothing to
what these guys. It's insane to me how mediocrity fuels
this business. Alan Sometimes it's easier to listen to something
if you know what they look like. See, I've always
thought the opposite. We still hear from people who have
no idea what we look like, and you don't have to.
We're all over YouTube and everything.
Speaker 5 (01:52:38):
I've been here almost sixteen years, so you're actively avoiding
what we look like.
Speaker 10 (01:52:43):
What was her name? DJ Tory, DJ toy Rock one
Away and see the rapids.
Speaker 7 (01:52:47):
Oh toys, it's me short circuit scream?
Speaker 5 (01:52:55):
Do they get her consent for people to touch her buttons?
People are asking, I got it, it's pretty wild. AnyWho
are you on IOE Public Radio site? Is that where
you got your link?
Speaker 7 (01:53:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (01:53:07):
Yeah, we poke fun at Guaranteed Human But like this
is what we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:53:11):
Yeah, but again, so so you want to point out
that you're not doing this, Like why even talk about it. Yeah,
that's what I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (01:53:18):
Like I understand trying to cut people off at the
pass by going yes, yes we know, but.
Speaker 7 (01:53:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:53:26):
But not talking about it's even better than bringing it up.
Why even give this person the time of day to
do something this stupid on the radio.
Speaker 5 (01:53:33):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (01:53:35):
It's so dumb.
Speaker 4 (01:53:37):
It was the same thing as that Ai Ashley nonsense.
At least that was a real person. They tried to
make an AI thing.
Speaker 10 (01:53:42):
Auto.
Speaker 5 (01:53:43):
Yeah, we used to have her here in Cleveland. It's
just she did nights at our Kiss station. Then they
went out to Portland and they were like, oh, it's
going to be her part time and AI part time.
Speaker 4 (01:53:51):
Why is radio having such a rough time? Why do
we I'll tell you why. You got guys like this
making the calls on what they do on their radio station?
Speaker 22 (01:53:59):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:53:59):
J Tory, she has Foxy though she is, she's beautiful foxy.
Speaker 10 (01:54:03):
Guess what not real?
Speaker 8 (01:54:05):
Right? All right?
Speaker 11 (01:54:06):
The Allen Cox Show on one hundred seven.
Speaker 13 (01:54:12):
DOUBLEMMS, Cleveland, an iHeartRadio station, call the Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 7 (01:54:20):
He's your microphone.
Speaker 10 (01:54:21):
So you think your power phone's smart?
Speaker 13 (01:54:25):
You're two seven eight one double oh seven or one
three four eighty one.
Speaker 10 (01:54:30):
Double oh seven.
Speaker 7 (01:54:41):
Three five.
Speaker 5 (01:54:42):
I want to send me a text. Listen on the
iHeart radio app. If you're from out of state, tell
me where you listen. People are still sending the number
of minutes to get that iHeart rewind at the end
of the year. You're from Lenny out and Mesa, Arizona.
If you need Alan Cox show stickers, by the way,
can always emailed me for those at alancocksha dot com.
(01:55:02):
Just sent another batch this morning. Debulousen's in Carlsbad, California.
Cole drives a FedEx truck in Juno, Alaska. Adams one
of our beer chiefs in Atlanta, Jordan's, and Saint Louis
David's up in Fondilac, Wisconsin.
Speaker 10 (01:55:19):
Or played fond Lac Jess.
Speaker 14 (01:55:21):
Nope, no.
Speaker 5 (01:55:26):
Fingers crossed. What is it called fond de Lac? Yeah,
my first Bosston Radio when I was interning for his
morning show in Chicago. He was from Fond de Lac, Wisconsin.
Where is that it's in Wisconsin? Yeah, it's northern Wisconsin.
Fond de Lac is up there on uh, the southern
(01:55:50):
most shore of Lake Winnebago. So you're about halfway between
Milwaukee and Green Bay. You're due east of Sheboygan. If
you know Wisconsin at all, I know you've traveled there
quite a bit and performed there or whatever. So big picture,
it's kind of like south east Ish, Okay. Any who,
(01:56:11):
now that I know where that place is, fine, last yes,
plan my vacation. About forty thousand people there, not far
from the Dells where my parents had their honeymoon, the
Wisconsin Dells because they had no money. Cavaliers not back
on the wood until dah Friday night doing that NBA Cups.
(01:56:35):
Are they involved in that NBA Cup? Suvers this other
teams play and didn't make it. Okay, So Cavs will
be back in DC on Friday night. That's a seven
o'clock tip against the Wizards. They are back here on
Sunday before they hit the road again. They're playing the
Bulls back to back in Chicago on Wednesday, a week
from Friday. They will be back here at home. I
(01:56:57):
will have those tickets where coming around five ten the
remainder of the week. Our last live show of the
year will be one week from today, so we will
have five more shows after today and then we will
ride off into the end of the year sunset rob As.
Speaker 10 (01:57:16):
I'm sorry, what would you say?
Speaker 5 (01:57:17):
It's no joke, man. By the time the end of
the year comes, we're fried, cooked, just cooked. So you
found audio of that AI overnight DJ in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa that we were talking about before the break, DJ Tory.
It's even worse than I thought it would sound. I
don't understand the value of this. There are so listen,
(01:57:41):
maybe ten to fifteen years ago, the audience of any
radio station had to get their heads around humans pre
recording their shifts from other places. Voice tracking. Now that's
just kind of an accepted part of the business. But
that I don't understand the value of this.
Speaker 10 (01:58:00):
There is none.
Speaker 4 (01:58:04):
That's why the fact that anybody's covering this and giving
this dude any shine whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (01:58:09):
Kills me, especially since it's been in place since twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 31 (01:58:13):
Right, uh, here we go and eight I'm Tory with
new music. That was My Only Angel by Aerosmith. Up next,
A Whole Lot of Rosie by ACDC is a wild
rock anthem. It's about bon Scott's encounter with a big,
bold woman named Rosie talk about a legendary backstage story
(01:58:37):
rock on Rock oneh eight, I'm tory with new music.
Speaker 5 (01:58:41):
That was my only Oh that's the clip.
Speaker 10 (01:58:43):
The clip.
Speaker 5 (01:58:44):
Listen, that's exactly what a kid in college radio sounds like. Right,
they don't have the moxie yet, they're not really comfortable yet.
I don't know why you don't just get a kid.
There are still, believe it or not, there are kids
in college who want to get into radio.
Speaker 10 (01:58:59):
Well, you don't have to pay this AI idiot. You
know you got to kick it, but you give the
kid minimum wage. I agree, Well, we should be doing
that here. We should be doing that everywhere.
Speaker 22 (01:59:09):
I know.
Speaker 4 (01:59:10):
I sat down with an executive in this company years
ago and I was like, where's the next you coming from?
Speaker 10 (01:59:16):
Where's the next me coming from?
Speaker 16 (01:59:18):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:59:18):
Well, we still have an overnight person in New York City.
And I said, dude, with all due respect, I've been
doing this for twenty five years. I shouldn't be doing
overnights in New York City. Like, what are you talking about?
If you want to build a farm, you build a farm.
Speaker 10 (01:59:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:59:33):
Listen, man, it's it's a company of people know how,
knowing how to record and how to do a podcast.
That's that's what is going to be left of this industry.
And when they try to crack a live mic, they
are going to crap their pants because it is a
completely different skill set.
Speaker 10 (01:59:49):
Yeah, when you realize that you're live.
Speaker 5 (01:59:51):
Yeah, because I've met people over the years, you know,
when podcasting kind of blew up, people go, you know,
what do you do? And it's always listen, It's always
a fun thing. And somebody asks what you do to say, well,
I do radio or you know, I tell people to
talk radio.
Speaker 20 (02:00:03):
I go what do you do?
Speaker 10 (02:00:04):
And they oh, I do radio too. I go, oh,
where what station are you on?
Speaker 5 (02:00:09):
Would be my question because when I first came to
now this hasn't happened for a long time because that
bright delineation line between podcasting and radio is so clear now.
But when it was kind of just on the come up,
I hadn't been here that long, and I was like, oh,
I didn't know the landscape. I'm not listening to the
radio stations. And they go, oh, no, I do a podcast,
and I go.
Speaker 10 (02:00:26):
Oh, it's not even close to the same thing.
Speaker 5 (02:00:28):
Well I'm like okay, I go and so I want
to know more about what they do, and I go, oh,
you want you do? And now my friend and I
talk about this kind of stuff and blah blah blah.
Oh okay, you know.
Speaker 10 (02:00:39):
An hour a week and I go, okay, well that's great.
Speaker 20 (02:00:42):
Man.
Speaker 4 (02:00:43):
See we make the joke often. But you know what,
we don't have that a person doing a podcast does have.
Speaker 10 (02:00:49):
Take two right, let's you know, let's stop there and
go back and record that over again. No, man, this
is it. Well, you screw up.
Speaker 5 (02:01:00):
Listen when we follow along with the script, Rob, this audience,
of course, will jump all over that and to discredit
the show. I understand the script. I'm trying to say,
we don't have a script. Get them off the scent,
page fifty three. By the way, I was on forty eight.
No wonder we were having a difficult because you ran
late in the last break. Alan. My sister missed a
(02:01:21):
common show in college because somebody told her that Come
On was performing right next up Panera. Yeah, well the
AI DJ Oh, that's terrible. By the way, I thought
that it was because AI has gotten markedly better, so
I thought that they were to the point. I mean,
(02:01:42):
if that's an improvement from where it was, yeah, it
sounds exactly like somebody who's uncomfortable on the air in college.
The only and that's where we all started, not in college,
but like being uncomfortable on the air.
Speaker 4 (02:01:57):
The only hats off I can give them at all
is that they're playing a whole lot of Rosie by
ac DC. That is a girlreat song. It's one of
my absolute favorite ACDC tunes. Yeah, so okay, there's a
little bit of light at the end of that tunnel.
Speaker 5 (02:02:13):
Even when I got into you know, our friend Bill
Squier was here with me for the better part of
a decade, and even he would tell you stand up
and radio are two completely different skill sets, of course,
and so like when I fell literally asked backwards into
radio from stand up, I was like, oh, I'll have
a leg up because I've been performing and it's still
completely different.
Speaker 4 (02:02:33):
My buddy owns a owns a bar and he doesn't
open mic comedy night once a week. And honestly, the
other night, I was sitting at home doing nothing and
I was thinking about it. I'm like, you know what,
I should just write five minutes and go see if
I can still do it. Because it's been so long
since I've done it. I'm like, maybe I'll go do
five minutes. See if I can do five minutes. But
then I'm like, if I bomb and I suck. There's
(02:02:56):
a lot more at stake now than there was before,
because before I didn't care. Now I'm on this show,
you know what I mean. I'm like, if I eat it.
Speaker 10 (02:03:03):
That's not good.
Speaker 20 (02:03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:03:05):
But again, they're two completely different skill sets. There were
people who loved Bill on this show could not lock
into his stand up and vice versa. Sure people would
be like I saw a Bill and he was so funny,
and then I listen to you guys, and he's this
and that I go. They are two completely different skill sets.
For sure, they are night and day. I just feel
like there's more at stake now. There's more like I'm
(02:03:27):
already doing this, Like usually you try and do things
to get somewhere else, Like if I did it, if
I did stand.
Speaker 10 (02:03:36):
Up again, that would just be for me one stand up.
There's no reason to do it.
Speaker 5 (02:03:39):
I mean, I haven't done it in a minute. It's
also one of those things you have to like get
up every night. You gotta do it otherwise you're just
a tourist.
Speaker 10 (02:03:47):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:03:48):
I mean so, you know, cause I was the first
few years in Cleveland, I was still doing it, but
I was like, I got it now, Like.
Speaker 10 (02:03:56):
To your point, like why it was just for me?
For anybody else, that's all this would be, and that's
no fun for the audience.
Speaker 4 (02:04:03):
So if I ever do it, it would be a
one off, like I would just I would get myself
a good three to five minutes and then go just
do it once and say I did it again.
Speaker 10 (02:04:12):
I could still do it, not tell anyone I was
doing it. Just go do it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:04:18):
Yeah, here's a text speaking of Sausage Fest Radio. One
of you guys are going to bring a lady back.
Speaker 10 (02:04:24):
To the show. Here, hold on, let me hit this
button right here. Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 22 (02:04:28):
She is.
Speaker 10 (02:04:30):
She's on the phone.
Speaker 5 (02:04:31):
Yeah, Jess is taking a call. That's got to make
her feel good. Oh listen, I I wish them nothing
but the best. But again, you want to talk about
low stakes, you're talking about overnight radio and cedar rapids Iowa. Yeah,
because anybody listening to that would know immediately that it
was not a real person, and they really wouldn't have
to tell people they wouldn't have to like pull the
(02:04:52):
curtain back and let them know.
Speaker 4 (02:04:53):
I wouldn't put it on anywhere though, Like Cedar Rapids
is still a big enough city that that shouldn't be on.
Speaker 10 (02:04:58):
You know what I mean? Like that to me is
just you've given up.
Speaker 4 (02:05:02):
You have no other options, You've given up, and you're like, eh, whatever,
this is it, this is what it is now.
Speaker 22 (02:05:08):
Mm hm.
Speaker 32 (02:05:10):
Intense Randy here, I can't believe you just listened to
one of my podcasts and you only probably listen to
a minute or two of it, not even that much.
Speaker 10 (02:05:21):
They got much.
Speaker 5 (02:05:22):
Better, and there's thirty of them out there, thirty of it.
Speaker 10 (02:05:25):
They got much better.
Speaker 5 (02:05:26):
It was called he curses, so he says, it was
called Randino and Butch talk Shrimp.
Speaker 10 (02:05:31):
Yeah, and now Butch is in jail for murder, so
he you know, and I just threw the grinds my cat.
I remember, I remember what it was called.
Speaker 5 (02:05:37):
The remember sending it to me well and again, Randy,
with respect. They were terrible and so but again it's
just people talking, right, that's fine.
Speaker 10 (02:05:49):
There are no steaks. There are stakes here. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:05:53):
So you know when people are like, oh I do
a thing, I'm like that's great. That no shade, that's awesome.
But they also when they write up his stories on podcasts,
they're like ninety percent of them never get more than
seven episodes because people go, oh, this is really hard,
or people think they're gonna get rich from them right
away or something I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:06:15):
And they also realize, after you do seven episodes, Jesus Christ,
there's fourteen hours of my life I'm never going to
have back. Like you're putting all this time into something
no one's listening to. That's why they disappear.
Speaker 5 (02:06:26):
Well, but it's like, if you want, there are some
television shows and movies where like the main person the
hip job for them to have as they're a podcaster.
Speaker 10 (02:06:36):
Yeah, and they walk into.
Speaker 5 (02:06:37):
These gleaming studios and it's like, you know the way
that they used to twenty five thirty years ago, the
way they used to depict radio shows, right, Yeah, in
this business, we'd all laugh. Whether it was like Gary
cole Do in Midnight Caller Talk Radio with Eric Bagozi
is one of my favorite movies of all times.
Speaker 10 (02:06:55):
Airheads.
Speaker 5 (02:06:56):
Yeah, and so you know Joe Dirt Jo, you know,
but that's like, oh, she's a podcaster and they live
in a mansion.
Speaker 10 (02:07:04):
In this whole thing.
Speaker 4 (02:07:04):
It's like, oh, okay, that's why I love you know,
the way they did private parts Howard Stern's movie right
like cause they they did make the effort.
Speaker 10 (02:07:13):
To make those studios kind of look real.
Speaker 5 (02:07:15):
Yeah. Really, I have somewhere in my that's a guy
who could tell you here's how you make a radio.
Speaker 4 (02:07:20):
Studio look right, somewhere in my storage of stuff, Like
everything's at my house, but the boxes and stuff I
never unpacked. I have a small cart machine that was
in that movie and it's labeled you do. It's labeled
from the from the studio. Oh that's awesome. Excuse me,
cart rack. It was just this little box spinner. Yeah,
and it just had so I don't know if it
(02:07:42):
even made camera, but it's labeled. It has the number
on it. I just thought it was cool. It was
that in one of those you know.
Speaker 5 (02:07:48):
Jess, somebody texted ask when I was going to bring
a lady back to the show. Now, maybe they didn't
mean female. Maybe they did hear you and they were like,
when are you going to bring a lady back in there?
Speaker 4 (02:07:57):
I think they meant that that they that They probably
just haven't even heard that we have a new person
on the show yet.
Speaker 10 (02:08:02):
That's what I think. Alan, I'm a bit behind in
the podcast.
Speaker 5 (02:08:05):
But as soon as the humer bought five thousand learns
the Friday finger Bang song, you guys are toast ha
ha don't I know it?
Speaker 4 (02:08:12):
Ha ha ha finger banger bang bang ha ha ha
ha don't want to work ha ha ha ha ha
bang on this drum bang my finger ha.
Speaker 22 (02:08:22):
Ha ha ha.
Speaker 10 (02:08:24):
That's right, Bryan, your thoughts.
Speaker 7 (02:08:26):
May I bother you for a cup of tea?
Speaker 10 (02:08:28):
That's not we're talking about. But okay, thank you.
Speaker 7 (02:08:36):
All right enough.
Speaker 5 (02:08:39):
The ellen Cock Show on one hundred points of.
Speaker 7 (02:08:46):
Best way to resist the machines.
Speaker 11 (02:08:50):
Dumb down your smartphone by listening to this craft. He
won't even remember how to tell time.
Speaker 10 (02:08:57):
The ellen Cock Show on one been dou w m m.
Speaker 22 (02:09:03):
Okay, all right, okay, all right, okay, okay, all right.
Oh wait.
Speaker 4 (02:09:16):
Freaks side around on wheelchairs motorized by electric motors make.
Speaker 22 (02:09:20):
My goblins in the factory, then my drywall and other
products that they.
Speaker 10 (02:09:25):
Can eat back at home on the sofa.
Speaker 8 (02:09:28):
That would excuse me.
Speaker 10 (02:09:31):
By a man named Chandler Ming who died in a
free hot.
Speaker 8 (02:09:34):
Tub an accident, and he spent his time drinking.
Speaker 22 (02:09:37):
And knock on favored water on a pular CD show
called Top Girls.
Speaker 8 (02:09:42):
They are Close Drugs Last nine Saturday.
Speaker 16 (02:09:52):
Job.
Speaker 25 (02:09:53):
All right, so a little that's my pilot error on
my point, because a handful of people have asked this
audience listens with a trained, trained ear.
Speaker 5 (02:10:06):
Brock is our bureau chief in Cumberland, Maryland. Alan, is
it nineties or a snubbleshot weekend coming up? I played
the wrong promo, No, it was I played the wrong promo.
It was Ai DJ Tory, the overnight girl from Hey listen,
if you want guaranteed human guess what that means? Mistakes right,
(02:10:28):
you got to take the rough with the smooth.
Speaker 10 (02:10:29):
That's right now.
Speaker 5 (02:10:30):
Sure she is saying Rio Speedwagon and the S word
if they're playing the sword, which they're probably not, but
who knows?
Speaker 10 (02:10:40):
They should be? Nineties weekend this coming weekend?
Speaker 8 (02:10:43):
Right?
Speaker 5 (02:10:44):
Yes, everything from the decade you may or may not remember.
I knew someone just doesn't remember the nineties. I knew
it barely barely. Can I show the video of you
on the ball? Yeah, okay, but you mms just Jess
is where you're gonna find just on social media. And
she and her band were doing some dates this past weekend.
(02:11:07):
So they were in Iowa, they were in Wisconsin, they
were in Michigan. Is this Grand Rapids? Yep? This was
the Twisted Bowl, the Twisted Bull. This is just singing,
say a horse, ride a cowboy, right, yep on the bowl.
(02:11:36):
Now I have to assume that they're not increasing the
speed while you're singing.
Speaker 17 (02:11:40):
No.
Speaker 7 (02:11:41):
I was like, make it go faster.
Speaker 14 (02:11:43):
Usually he makes it at the very very act.
Speaker 16 (02:11:45):
Yeah, he like overpil like overdrives it right until I
fall off, and.
Speaker 14 (02:11:50):
He's like, oh, I want you to break your microphone.
Speaker 5 (02:11:52):
We can get some core work on there too, if
you get going at a pretty good clip.
Speaker 8 (02:11:56):
All right, good.
Speaker 5 (02:11:57):
I didn't realize you were so scantily glad while you
were performing. Oh yeah, I guess. I don't know what
I thought you'd be.
Speaker 10 (02:12:03):
I don't know. Everybody dresses differently, right.
Speaker 5 (02:12:06):
A friend of mine in Saint Louis, she's on the
air there and she fronts a band, but she has
kind of more of like a rock chick Stevie Nicks
kind of thing. But obviously you're doing you're doing a
pop cover, it makes more sense to be in a
corset or whatever. Oh what I was wearing the next night, woo,
which was what? Uncomfortable? No, it just like pushed my
(02:12:27):
boobs up, pushed ma boobs up?
Speaker 13 (02:12:31):
Right.
Speaker 16 (02:12:32):
Someone asked me if they were real. I was like, yeah,
they're real. Like I have nothing, So I was like,
all right, but I guess like with my dancing too.
Someone asked me if I took dancing classes. I'm like,
never a day in my life.
Speaker 5 (02:12:48):
Well, I don't.
Speaker 16 (02:12:49):
I like to dance, Don't get me wrong. I love dancing, right,
but I don't think I'm good at it.
Speaker 10 (02:12:55):
Well, isn't part of it that you enjoy doing it?
Speaker 22 (02:12:59):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:12:59):
Yeah, right, and it doesn't require I'm sure it doesn't
require complicated choreography.
Speaker 14 (02:13:04):
No, not at all.
Speaker 10 (02:13:05):
Right, So if you're having a good time.
Speaker 14 (02:13:07):
Mine is not complicated at all. Mine is mike very
posey as well.
Speaker 16 (02:13:11):
But some songs I go, right, I dance more uh
huh all right, like uh guns n' roses, I throw
myself down on the stage at the very end.
Speaker 5 (02:13:22):
Well for what uh welcome to the jungle? Uh you
do my Michelle?
Speaker 10 (02:13:25):
What do you do?
Speaker 5 (02:13:26):
Sweechild of mine.
Speaker 16 (02:13:27):
Yep, sweet child, and then don't stop believing I do
a full like back.
Speaker 5 (02:13:32):
Bend in the one part a back bend.
Speaker 31 (02:13:35):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:13:35):
Yeah, Now how does that differ than speed rail? You
had to kind of be more agro probably with speed rail, right, yeah,
you and Corey rot expand.
Speaker 14 (02:13:44):
Oh god, me and Corey would be all over the place.
Speaker 5 (02:13:46):
That's what I mean. It was probably like the KK
downing the back and forth or the guitar next type thing. Right.
Speaker 16 (02:13:52):
I would always knock Corey's mike stand down. And then
there was one time we were oh accidentally, I was
drunk half the time. Ah, but we were playing in
this backyard one time and he had one of those
microphones with the I don't know, it's like an old
older microphone kind of thing, Okay, and I knocked it
(02:14:12):
down and the whole thing went into mud and he
had to pick it out.
Speaker 10 (02:14:16):
Oh god.
Speaker 16 (02:14:18):
Oh and I also spilled drinks on his side of
the stage. Oh man, I'm surprised you guys are still
on speaking terms.
Speaker 10 (02:14:24):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 23 (02:14:25):
Wow.
Speaker 16 (02:14:27):
Corey would get so mad at me, oh yeah, but
so nice about it. Well, he is nothing if not
nice and generous.
Speaker 5 (02:14:35):
Yeah, a guy died on a cruise because he kept
getting served, and now the family is suing the cruise line,
saying that it should be ruled a homicide. Silly, And
I'm like, bro, I mean, if you've ever been on
a cruise, it's not like the bartenders are all checking
(02:14:58):
with each other and all the different bars as to
how much you've had.
Speaker 10 (02:15:02):
Yeah, but you can tell if someone's mangled too, you
know what I mean, Like you can, but you don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:15:06):
This is a big guy. This like a Bert Kreischer
size guy. A guy named Michael Virgil who was thirty five.
Some people got video of him trying to kick some
doors in or something like that, standing in the hall
I'll show you the local news coverage here standing in
the hallway trying to kick some doors in.
Speaker 4 (02:15:24):
Was reportedly drunk and unruly on a Royal Caribbean cruise
ship has died. Fox Levan Tayley Winslow, who broke this
story originally is live for us.
Speaker 22 (02:15:33):
Now.
Speaker 10 (02:15:33):
Dudes had to like restrain the guy on the boat.
He's got his back.
Speaker 5 (02:15:37):
You know, these hallways and these cruises are pretty narrow,
and so he's standing there.
Speaker 10 (02:15:42):
He's just got his shorts.
Speaker 5 (02:15:43):
On and nothing else, you know, And people showed up,
people who work on the cruise, and they're like, bro,
you got to calm down. Caught on camera amid a
meltdown on the navigator of the seas A big guy, right,
he was with his fiance on the cruise. So not
a guy in great shape, but a young guy thirty five.
(02:16:04):
He was served thirty three drinks of Jesus. Now, I
don't know how they even came to that number.
Speaker 10 (02:16:10):
Well, you probably keep. They probably keep.
Speaker 4 (02:16:11):
There's no cash exchanged, so they probably just keep track
of everything you orders. Oh gotcha? Yeah the wristbander, Yeah gotcha.
Speaker 5 (02:16:18):
So the video some other people were taking, he was
trying to knock down somebody else's door, is ripping off
his clothes. A fellow passenger said that Virgil had threatened
to kill him during the rampage. So a big dude
who clearly couldn't handle his high and now his family
because they're grieving, but everybody wants somebody to blame, and
so they said that the that he died because the
(02:16:40):
ship staff had to inject him with a sedative just
to get the guy to calm the f down. So
they get security they get the ship doctor and they
sedate the guy after he had had thirty three drinks,
and the family says it should be ruled a homicide.
Royal Caribbean was completely negligent. I got to tell you.
(02:17:02):
For people who were like, why is it so expensive
to go on a cruise because they're always getting sued
for something, always getting sued. I don't know how cruse
companies stay in business. Between the Poop Cruise documentary on Netflix,
just when they probably hoped people had forgotten about that
(02:17:24):
Poop Cruise documentary, somebody made a joke about it on
SNL or something like that, and as I'm watching him, like,
oh Jesus, they're flipping out because people had just forgotten
about the poop Cruse. And again, it was many years ago,
but it's not like it's unprecedented that. You know, if
you're not sick by the time you get on a cruise,
you're going to be sick by the time you get
off because you're just in a confined space. This guy
(02:17:48):
was vacationing with his fiance and their seven year old
son when he suddenly died. So they get on the
cruise and discover that their room wasn't ready yet, so
they point them to one of the restaurant bars and
the guy starts drinking. The girl took their little son
(02:18:13):
had autism, so the girl the fiance takes the kid
to go to the room, check the status or whatever,
leaves big man at the bar and he starts to
get lit up, and they said that he ended up
with thirty three drinks in them, and so the family
is suing, saying, look, they could have cut him off.
Speaker 10 (02:18:33):
They didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:18:34):
They absolutely could have, but also like, yeah, you could have,
but I wouldn't say. You gotta kind of monitor yourself.
Speaker 22 (02:18:44):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (02:18:45):
There's no homicide charge, but there is. I bet you
there's a wrongful death settlement. You can't serve somebody thirty
three drinks, you just can't.
Speaker 5 (02:18:54):
That's wild. The family is suing saying that the alleged
use of force on him made it hard for him
to breathe. Oh ironic, uh, and that he was injected
with a sedative. They also use quote multiple cans of
pepper spray on him, So it took a lot to
get this bowl down and he eventually had a heart
attack that caused his death. So the whole thing is sad.
(02:19:17):
But I was like, Jesus Christ. I think a lot
of big dudes think that they can handle way more
than they can. And I'm like, I just don't know
how you end up thirty five and don't know how
much you can drink. Yeah, so many people that just
something bad happens. I go, how do you not know
if you can handle your high or not? I know
(02:19:40):
there's little variables. Not every situation is the same, but
you've got a pretty good idea, but so you should there.
Speaker 4 (02:19:48):
Should be some kind of fail safe thing too that
like if you start sneaking up on that stuff and
you're acting the way you're acting, You're like, there should
be some sort of a all right, this guy's at
twenty drinks.
Speaker 10 (02:20:01):
Maybe we should monitor what he's doing at this point. Yeah,
you can't.
Speaker 4 (02:20:05):
You can't rely on people to police themselves because they're
not going to, especially on a cruise.
Speaker 10 (02:20:11):
Everything's free man, right.
Speaker 5 (02:20:14):
Uh Brock in Cumberland, Maryland there, Uh hit Yeah, Well
he wanted to know Snubbleshot of nineties and he's like
radio stations in our area. He goes, there's a lot
of AI. He goes, they change their names, but they're
not real people. One night, they're playing three eleven and
then DJ said.
Speaker 13 (02:20:31):
Three to one one.
Speaker 10 (02:20:32):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (02:20:33):
Three II yeah, here's the new one by three to one.
Here's the new one by three to one one.
Speaker 10 (02:20:40):
The title track from Led Zeppelin's IV.
Speaker 5 (02:20:45):
Hey Cory, Oh Hoy, Hoy, Holy holley.
Speaker 10 (02:20:50):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:20:52):
Not much?
Speaker 8 (02:20:53):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:20:54):
Uh got thirty three drinks? Holy goodness? Yeah, it's a lot, man,
that's yikes.
Speaker 10 (02:21:03):
The person in question got three three drinks.
Speaker 3 (02:21:08):
As you're guaranteed human is a scam. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (02:21:11):
The person who died got three three drinks? Here's the
new one from three to one one. That was three
two too many? If you ask me, am I right.
Speaker 10 (02:21:23):
Yes, indeed, ha ha.
Speaker 32 (02:21:29):
I don't know, man.
Speaker 3 (02:21:29):
I just I love having you my fingertips because I'm local.
Speaker 20 (02:21:32):
Now yeah, fingertips.
Speaker 10 (02:21:38):
Okay, go ahead, here for those fingertips.
Speaker 3 (02:21:40):
You've been talking about people kind of bragging about, like
the minutes accumulated in the wrap. Is that iHeart Radio
app being specific or like the Spotify count.
Speaker 5 (02:21:54):
No, well, I guess yeah, but I'm just people are
sending me the rewind that iHeart gives you and use
the app, so all of the numbers. I've been rattling
off for people who've been listening on our app.
Speaker 4 (02:22:05):
We got the Spotify numbers last week. Those came in first,
and people started sending us notes and then.
Speaker 3 (02:22:10):
The what's uh, what's the record to beat?
Speaker 5 (02:22:14):
I think it's one hundred and ninety one thousand, isn't it?
I think was that Tom and Canton? Well, no, no,
he got blown out because he left us a message.
He's like, yeah, I found out if somebody broke my record.
Like during the same show, Dan, I got an email
you a guy named Dan. I mean, listen, you're doing fine.
Even if you listen ten minutes. I appreciate it. Yeah,
(02:22:35):
one hundred ninety one and eighteen minutes, I think is
the biggest number I've seen from Dan.
Speaker 3 (02:22:41):
I'm one twenty six six seventy.
Speaker 10 (02:22:43):
Five six seven five.
Speaker 3 (02:22:48):
Right, I'll I always try to not waste your time. Uh, Rob, Yes, sir,
this is not a backwards compliment. You are hysterical. Some
of the funniest things I've heard has been from you
in the last year. You've got quick little throwaway grenades.
(02:23:09):
I don't you did stand up question mark Like this
isn't me being silly, but I don't know that I
can vision you as a stand up? Were you like
an insult guy?
Speaker 12 (02:23:18):
Like?
Speaker 3 (02:23:19):
Were you like a what kind of stand up?
Speaker 5 (02:23:22):
Were you?
Speaker 3 (02:23:22):
You never really talked about it.
Speaker 4 (02:23:24):
Yeah, it's really it was. It was a very very
short period of time. They had a comedy club in Springfield, Massachusetts,
and they hired me as a radio guy to do it.
And the more I did it, the longer I could go,
you know, I could do. I started with a couple
of minutes and I would just kind of introduce everything
I was hosting, and then I got to a point
where I could do fifteen minutes and I would feature
and that was about it. I never I never went,
(02:23:45):
you know, crazy with it, but yeah, I mean it
was a little bit of everything. I mean, I would
dick with the crowd. I would just sort of have
fun and an extension of what I was doing on
the radio.
Speaker 10 (02:23:54):
You know, well, white guys, this's like this, A black guy,
it's like that. That's exactly. That was one of my
biggest jokes.
Speaker 4 (02:24:05):
Shot and it was right around nine eleven, So I
worked in some of those type of observational jokes.
Speaker 10 (02:24:14):
Corey, Hey, did you guys hear about nine one one.
It appears the planes were a a planes octo for
never forget.
Speaker 5 (02:24:39):
Oh come on man, oh yeah, listen. Even I didn't
do nine to eleven material, Rob was out there.
Speaker 10 (02:24:48):
This was well passed, well passed, not well a year
maybe I don't know. It was nine to thirteen, two
thousand and one, and it was like I was making
nine eleven jokes.
Speaker 4 (02:24:57):
I was making jokes about the things that were happening
at the time, the thrack scares and the things like that.
Like I was just I was doing a lot of
that type of stuff because that's what was happening in
the world.
Speaker 5 (02:25:06):
So that why is it till but old Brown Harris
the Gilbert gotfree.
Speaker 10 (02:25:09):
Of from New England?

Huh okay, thank you Corey?
Speaker 3 (02:25:18):
Hey uh Alan, Yes, you guys bring me so much joy?
Can I can I like do like a crazy course
crew really fast?
Speaker 5 (02:25:27):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:25:29):
You mentioned Neil Diamond earlier. I jumped in the car
after work and then Forever Ago a couple of weeks back.
Songs that make you immediately think about a movie. My
favorite Neil Diamond song is Brother Loves Traveling Show because
and it immediately makes me think of that terrible David's
(02:25:49):
babe movie Lost and Found.
Speaker 5 (02:25:52):
Lost in David Spade, I remember eight Heads a double Bag.
I don't remember Lost and Found though, brother loves traveling
self show. Wow, this is my jam, Dude, I love
this song.
Speaker 10 (02:26:04):
This is fantastic. Lost and Found nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (02:26:08):
All right, thank you, coreyaver saw that movie.
Speaker 5 (02:26:13):
Found this French actor same, Sophie Marceau. They were really
trying to make her something in the States nineteen ninety nine,
David Spade and Soshi mars Martin sheen Artie Lang was
a critical and commercial failure.
Speaker 10 (02:26:27):
Well that's a bummer.
Speaker 5 (02:26:30):
He kidnaps his French neighbor's dog and pretends to help her.
Speaker 10 (02:26:35):
Look, oh boy, okay, well there you go. I remember
my mom playing this too.
Speaker 5 (02:26:45):
Oh yeah, man, oh good?
Speaker 10 (02:26:48):
All right, well, well I do not remember Lost and Found.
Speaker 5 (02:26:53):
I know it costs thirty million to make and it
made six Coach Jesus Roger Ebert said it only had
one funny scene and that was a thing with John Lovetts.
Speaker 4 (02:27:05):
Okay, well, John Lovits could make anything funny, though, so
it doesn't surprise me that that's his scene that made.
Speaker 10 (02:27:09):
The movie funny.
Speaker 5 (02:27:10):
Yeah, he was in full on Jay Sherman, Am I right,
it's stinks.
Speaker 10 (02:27:18):
The Allen Cox Show on.
Speaker 11 (02:27:21):
One hundred seven.
Speaker 31 (02:27:25):
Call the Allan Cox show boy named Ellen Cox and
my show sucks.
Speaker 13 (02:27:32):
Two one six seven eight one double O seven or
one eight three four eight one double O seven.
Speaker 7 (02:27:40):
I love that guy.
Speaker 33 (02:27:44):
So good.
Speaker 10 (02:27:47):
Three five sent me a text you want speaking of
so good?
Speaker 29 (02:27:52):
Who is this?
Speaker 10 (02:27:54):
Tony McAlpine?
Speaker 5 (02:27:55):
Wow, one of my favorite back in the eighties, right
when all the guys just doing instrumental shredder albums.
Speaker 10 (02:28:02):
Virtuoso guys. Yeah, Tony McAlpine, I got another one of
his like that.
Speaker 5 (02:28:07):
Yeah. He did a handful of albums in the eighties.
My favorite one is called Maximum Security. He had George
Lynch of Docin on a couple of tracks. He did
a one off with some other guys, which to this
day is one of I always hesitate to call something
(02:28:28):
a guilty pleasure because you like what you like, but
it was very much of the time. The lyrics are
just cringe worthy to the max, but the music is great.
There was a one off album in the eighties called
Project Driver, and the band was called Mars. They just
went by the acronym and it was the last initials
of the guys in it. It was Tony McAlpine, it
was Tommy Aldrich from White Snake and Black Oak Arkansas
(02:28:52):
and all that. The singer was a guy named Robert
Rock who had kind of just made the rounds in
kind of metal bands. And then Rudy Sarzo from Quiet Riot.
There's a quartet. They did a one off album called
Project Driver, probably eighty five eighty six, and he was
just a bunch of goofy songs. But I loved it.
Speaker 10 (02:29:11):
I just googled him. I didn't still listen to it.
Speaker 5 (02:29:13):
Tony Calpine went off to be because you know, all
these metal shredders are like Virtuoso's. Yeah, he does like
jazz fusion bands. Now, I think the Black Dude.
Speaker 7 (02:29:21):
Yes, wow.
Speaker 5 (02:29:22):
One of the wild handful of black metal guitar players
there was remember John Butcher, not metal, but there was
a guy named John Butcher who was a black guitarist.
And it's funny when people talk about the dearth of
black guitarists because you're like, well, Jimmy Hendricks, sure, you know,
but but more modern day, you know.
Speaker 10 (02:29:41):
Obviously, Vernon Red but Vernon reed. Okay, there was a
guy named John.
Speaker 5 (02:29:48):
There was a band called the John Butcher Axis Axis
and he was very and I assume that Axis came
from an homage to Hendrix, but he was very kind
of phill Linnett, phill Linnet from finn Lizzie. He's black, yep.
But I remember the John Butcher Axis. I saw them.
(02:30:09):
They were from Philly. But I know back in the
day they got played on BCN, which is a Boston
radio station. Oh yeah, so they kind of blew it
first in Boston. But I saw the John Butcher Axis
open for I know they opened for Kiss, but I
didn't see them. I saw them with the Jay Giles
band in like the Freeze Frame era. You know my
(02:30:31):
thing on them, man, I love that band Jay Giles. Yeah, yeah,
we saw him over for Seeger here years ago at
the it was still the que Second Row, me and
my wife and Chris Tyler at Seger and the Jay Giles.
Speaker 10 (02:30:47):
He must have been out of his in his element
with Jay Giles too.
Speaker 5 (02:30:51):
Anyway, John Butcher is a guy. I don't know if
the guy is still around. I don't know how many
people remember him. But that's another guy. I think over
they talk about black guitar players, but Tony mccalpine, even
though I was a drummer, I didn't play the guitar,
but I had a lot of friends who did, and
I was fully into that eighties shredder era. So I
loved Ingvey, Molmstein. I love Vinnie Moore. Anybody remember Vinnie Moore.
(02:31:15):
He had an album called Mine's Eye that was awesome
because my thing was all these great guitar player instrumental
records had amazing drummers. So Tony McAlpine had this, Joe
sat Tranni had this guy Nam Jonathan Moover, who was awesome.
Tony mccalpine had great you know, so I loved him.
Were you a Satrianni guy too? I was, I mean
(02:31:35):
to a lesser degree, but I think by the time
Surfing with the Alien came out, I was kind of
getting over it. Yeah, but I loved the early Ingvey
and Tony McAlpine all those guys.
Speaker 10 (02:31:50):
Yeah, I love Yeh Ingvey. I mean that that dude
was like he was setting and raising the bar of
his own stuff constantly.
Speaker 12 (02:31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:32:01):
I heard a lot of people bartender Appreciation Day on
on Friday. People who are local bartenders because I played
the one eight hundred bartend commercial.
Speaker 10 (02:32:12):
Yeah bartender, what you learn.
Speaker 34 (02:32:14):
In school, bland icy and buzzy navs on the beach,
trying to make all the tricks.
Speaker 22 (02:32:28):
Have fun and meet people bartending at your favorite bars.
Speaker 10 (02:32:30):
Hey, have fun bartending at your favorite bars. That's a
great tongue with a great profess.
Speaker 5 (02:32:34):
The hell was a red snapper? I mean, I know
it in the I mean as slang for female genitalia.
I didn't know as a drink.
Speaker 4 (02:32:42):
And also that's when you order a snapper in a restaurant,
you're getting a fish hoole like you get the yeah
red snapper, they're serving.
Speaker 10 (02:32:48):
You a hole. I got that in the Bahamas. It's delicious.
Speaker 5 (02:32:52):
They literally went out that we were in this like
shanty restaurant. They literally go out the back, stick a
pole over the dock, and whether they pull out, they
throw in the pan and bring it out to you.
I'm eating fish eyes, yummy, yummy. A red snapper is
a bloody mary made with gin. Is set a vodka. Okay,
all right, maybe I'm a red snapper fan.
Speaker 4 (02:33:12):
I bet you it tastes probably almost the exact same
because you're tasting so much of the Bloody Mary mix anyway,
they're not really tasting the vodka in it.
Speaker 5 (02:33:22):
They should update that Bartender ad though for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 10 (02:33:27):
Hey, bar Kidder, what you learn in school? Yeah, it
was an art history major.
Speaker 4 (02:33:34):
I've got one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars in college loans.
Speaker 10 (02:33:38):
Uh, Now what could I get you?
Speaker 15 (02:33:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:33:40):
I don't think there's Bartending College anymore. I bet, yeah,
we called it, didn't we It's still there? I mean
the number is, but is it still Bartending College?
Speaker 17 (02:33:48):
Sure it is.
Speaker 5 (02:33:49):
That was my first joke when I was interning on
this morning show in Chicago. That's the first time I
made everybody laugh is when they were asked asking me
what school I was interning for, and I said the
American Bartender College, and it just came out of left field,
and I was just goofing around. But god, they fell out.
Speaker 10 (02:34:10):
Well, I got to tell you what.
Speaker 4 (02:34:12):
See, that also says a lot about you, because that
takes a lot of balls to throw a joke at
him when they're asking a question like that, like they're
putting on the air, they're at you know, like most
people like I would have been freaked out and just
at the school I went to.
Speaker 5 (02:34:22):
Yeah, but I already knew I was kind of funny.
I mean, what I didn't want to do was be
like check me out, you know what I mean. I
don't want to be that guy. So he just asked
a very simple question, and I said, I go to
the American Bartender College. And so that became a running
joke that all the other interns at these radio stations
(02:34:43):
we had two of them am in FM, and all
the other interns were going to like Columbia College or
Loyal or other Chicago schools, and they would refer to
me as the intern from the American Bartender College.
Speaker 10 (02:34:57):
Where do you go?
Speaker 8 (02:34:57):
I go to?
Speaker 10 (02:34:58):
What's the matter?
Speaker 8 (02:34:58):
You there?
Speaker 15 (02:35:00):
You go?
Speaker 20 (02:35:03):
I'll know?
Speaker 5 (02:35:03):
Forgot about Prince Oh. You can't forget we were talking
about we we did a whole thing on Prince last week.
Can't forget about Prince.
Speaker 10 (02:35:09):
Oh with virtuosos.
Speaker 5 (02:35:11):
Yeah, just amazing like black guitar players, Yeah, John Butcher, her.
Speaker 10 (02:35:19):
Is great. She's black, as the pronoun implies.
Speaker 4 (02:35:24):
That's also about where it ends, though, like she's you
won't put her on that same list, like she just
happens to be black.
Speaker 10 (02:35:29):
And plays guitar. But she's not just good though. Yeah,
but she's not like that type of good.
Speaker 4 (02:35:34):
She's good, she's fine, but yeah she's not like you
wouldn't put her in the same conversation.
Speaker 10 (02:35:38):
I guess I haven't seen that much of her. I
just saw her.
Speaker 5 (02:35:42):
Yeah, I saw her play and I was like, oh boy,
black guitarists, but a guy A lot of blues guys.
I'm thinking about rock guys though. I mean Slash Slash
is black. Well, he's mixed, right, mixed, but yeah, his
mom is black, I think, And that term is gone right.
(02:36:02):
What's that?
Speaker 10 (02:36:02):
That term for mixed is gone right? Like you don't
that mixed? No, the what we used to say for it.
Speaker 5 (02:36:08):
Biracial before that, people don't say that anything. I don't
think you're supposed to know. I think that's one that
went away. I think mixed is yeah. Blind Lemon Jefferson.
Now here's the funny thing about that guy. He was blind,
not a Lemon Richie Havens by the way, just to
(02:36:30):
show you how much he doesn't want to be himself.
When I google great African American guitarists, they include Steven Segal. Right,
he has faked his ethnic heritage for so long, they
don't know where to put the guy.
Speaker 10 (02:36:45):
Oh, Chuck Berry, got to mention Chuck Berry.
Speaker 5 (02:36:49):
Yes, he is also known for a lot of people
only know Chuck Berry from the toilet cameras and Hooker's farting,
farting in Hooker's faces.
Speaker 4 (02:36:59):
The best that was, that's one of the greatest, the
hardest my brother maybe has ever made me laugh in
my entire life, is when he visited here for my
daughter's graduation and we all went to the Rock Hall
together and they had that whole chuck Berry area. You know,
they got, like, I don't know, a pretty good selection
of Chuck Berry memorabilia and stuff. And my brother we
(02:37:22):
were turning the corner and he goes, is this where
we get to the video section? And I just I
just lost it because he did the impression of like
pulling his legs back.
Speaker 10 (02:37:33):
Kiss it.
Speaker 5 (02:37:35):
If you've never seen the video, and it's on YouTube,
if you've never seen the video of Chuck Berry, who
was as depraved as he was talented. You know, when
you've got a lot of money and you're famous, people
will let you do anything.
Speaker 13 (02:37:50):
And he was.
Speaker 4 (02:37:52):
He hired a hooker, right, Yeah, fart in her face. Well,
he did a lot of things, but the fart kind
of just happened. I'm trying to find if I can
find it.
Speaker 5 (02:38:03):
Yeah, he did a lot of things. Because the things
that he says to her after, oh my god, they're
just unconscionable. But my brother just kept saying all of
the things from he was quoting the train video, and
it was just it was at the Chuck Berry display, Funny,
(02:38:24):
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 22 (02:38:26):
It was.
Speaker 10 (02:38:26):
It was just perfect. It was one of the funniest
things I've ever Milatrene that.
Speaker 4 (02:38:32):
Because he peas on her too, and then she goes
to give him a kiss and he goes, uh, on,
no way, I can't kiss you.
Speaker 10 (02:38:39):
Your face smells like piss, right.
Speaker 5 (02:38:42):
My latrine, Chuck Berry, Jesus, I mean, Wendy, you separate
the art from the artists. Hey, Chuck, it's your cousin,
Marvin Barry back to the future looking for listen to this.
(02:39:03):
I wonder if that's part of his Wikipedia page controversies.
Charged with assaulting a woman in nineteen eighty seven. She
required five stitches. He knocked out two teas. He was
sued by several women in nineteen ninety, he claimed he
get installed a video camera in the bathroom of his restaurant.
He said, well, I'm just looking for people stealing, and
(02:39:26):
he settled out of court with those women and they.
Speaker 10 (02:39:28):
Were stealing from inside my toilets.
Speaker 5 (02:39:32):
His lawyer said he'd been the victim of a conspiracy
to profit from his wealth. Police raid on his house
found intimate videotapes of women without their knowledge, sixty two
grams of marijuana. Ah yeah, Chuck berry boy, this guy
was a piece of work.
Speaker 10 (02:39:52):
It's one of the It is one of the funniest
things I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm the
pride of Saint Louis, Missouri. So forget about what he
did with the guitars. Yeah, oh boy.
Speaker 5 (02:40:11):
Hey our after hours line now everybody leaves us messages.
On the iHeartRadio app. You can drop voicemails for us
two one six, nine eighty nine three.
Speaker 15 (02:40:20):
You were talking the other day about Willie Nelson or yesterday?
Speaker 6 (02:40:23):
Was it?
Speaker 15 (02:40:24):
When I was a kid, my stepdad looked like a
mountain man, long hair, long beard, And then in the
late eighties when Willie cut his hair and trimmed his beard,
my Stepdad said good enough for Willy, good enough for me,
and he did the same thing, and like you, I'm
a long hair guy, but I looked at it with
(02:40:45):
short hair, and I'm at the point now where I'm
about to cut it, and I thought, you know what,
Alan Cox.
Speaker 20 (02:40:52):
Will be my Willie. So we're going to walk around.
Speaker 15 (02:40:56):
Looking like somebody's aunt Donna and be called ma'am from
the before we turn around and uh, solidarity, brother.
Speaker 5 (02:41:06):
Now do I have bad news for you? Bro?
Speaker 10 (02:41:09):
I think I made the decision this morning to trim
my hair. Are you gonna I think I have a
what do you mean, awe like hair?
Speaker 15 (02:41:17):
Well?
Speaker 22 (02:41:17):
I do.
Speaker 5 (02:41:17):
I'm not chopping it off. I'm not gonna make it short.
But it's I have two choices, right, I mean I
I can either keep growing it, and I'm like, what whatever,
You'll just keep growing. I'm long past the point of
being able to do anything with it, right, and I
prefer to do something with it. So I got a
point with my girl, and we're gonna look at some
stuff and figure out what we can do. But I
(02:41:39):
I don't think I'm gonna keep just growing it. So
I don't know the time my ass will you go
back to short. No, no, no, no, no, it won't
be short.
Speaker 15 (02:41:48):
No.
Speaker 10 (02:41:48):
But it's like, you know, again, my my hair is
so you'll do something with it.
Speaker 5 (02:41:51):
I tuck it all the time because it's just it's
it's got really nothing to do with it being gray.
It's just my hair is like stick straight. Yeah, and
so when I grow it, it just grows down. There's
nothing to it. And so it's like, you know, so yeah,
solidarity brother. I mean, I'm not gonna no, I'm not
going to cut it short like it was, but you know,
(02:42:15):
I don't need it out of my ass. I'm not
going to go whatever. So when we come back on
the fifth new look, allen. My my appointment is the
morning of New Year's Eve. Oh, we'll see, we'll see.
We talk to my girl.
Speaker 10 (02:42:28):
What do you do on New Year's You going out?
Speaker 17 (02:42:30):
No?
Speaker 10 (02:42:30):
No, uh huh. I like going out on New Years,
but it really is amateur night. Oh yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (02:42:34):
And it's we haven't gone out in a number of
years now. We like kick it with the kid and
you know, I mean I wouldn't be opposed to going
out on New Year's Eve, but it's first couple of
times first couple of years we were in Cleveland, we
went on on New Year's even It was very disappointing. Yeah,
and it's so expensive. You know, all these places they
want to cash in on New Year's Eve, which I
(02:42:55):
fully understand. I mean when I was working Fine dining
one hundred years ago, you know, if you took off
New Year's Eve or didn't show up, you got fired.
It was the biggest night. It was the busiest night
of the year. So as a waiter New Year's Eve night,
you know, I'd go home with seven hundred and fifty
dollars in my pocket.
Speaker 10 (02:43:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (02:43:15):
But I didn't have a free New Year's Eve from
the time I was sixteen until the time I was
like twenty three years old. So the first New Year's
Eve I ever had free because I wasn't waiting tables anymore,
I was like, oh my god, what do I do
with myself?
Speaker 10 (02:43:28):
New Year's Eve has always been for me.
Speaker 4 (02:43:30):
It's just we make a bunch of food, appetizers and
things like that and watch the Twilight Zone. Yeah that
makes sense, man, just chill and I watched the twilight
Zone marathon for like three days.
Speaker 10 (02:43:39):
Yeah, that's it. Twilight Zone right. We have friends that
do that. I love it, man. They're like, oh, we
got the Twilight Zone Marathon. It's my favorite thing I've seen.
Speaker 4 (02:43:48):
And it's amazing to me that I've done this for
probably twenty years, maybe more, probably more. Uh, And there's
still episodes that come on that I haven't seen and
I'm like, how is that possible?
Speaker 7 (02:43:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:44:00):
But every year, man, I scheduled things around when I
know my favorites are going to be on. You forgot
about Gary Clark Junior. Sorry guys, Oh dude, Yeah, he's
from Austin, Texas. He'll be here soon, right, he's Austin.
Speaker 10 (02:44:12):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 5 (02:44:14):
Because by the way, there's a tea. He was number
three fourteen in the Blacklist.
Speaker 10 (02:44:17):
Reminds me. And we've played this band on Two Hours
of Midnight.
Speaker 5 (02:44:20):

black girl named Diamond Roe and she is unbelievable. She's
frigging bunkers. Check her out too. God Forbid is a
great black metal band. Yeah, Gary Clark Junior from Austin, Texas, Dynamite.
(02:44:40):
When I was down there in August, I was like, God,
I hope Gary Clark Junior is in town.
Speaker 4 (02:44:44):
Who were we just giving He was not touring with
someone and we were giving away tickets and I was like, yeah,
like I'd go see him and that's it.
Speaker 5 (02:44:50):
I don't remember who that was. He Yeah, he was
opening for. I don't remember who he's opening for. Yeah,
but yeah, you're right, because every so and he will
go out on tour. I've seen him quite a few times.
He's great. Rest of the time, he'll open for somebody else,
Gary Clark Junior. Yeah, now I twenty twenty six, he's
(02:45:13):
doing some solo dates. I forget who's going around here,
but he's he was opening for someone here. I forget
now who.
Speaker 15 (02:45:21):
It was.
Speaker 5 (02:45:26):
Gary Clark Junior over Boulder. I want to know what
the deal is with Gary Clark Senior. He was opening
for the Black Keys next summer?
Speaker 13 (02:45:34):
Was that it?
Speaker 5 (02:45:35):
Yeah, and there's somebody else with him that it was
Black Keys? Or sorry this past number? Did they cancel
that show or do they? Yeah, he was Black Keys

Speaker 4 (02:45:45):
There was one he was support like, he was like
the opener. There was three people on the show. We
just gave away tickets within the last couple of weeks.
I think what I see he was on it.
Speaker 5 (02:45:54):
What I see is back in May, I was giving
away tickets for Black Keys and Gary Clark Junior, but
it was for this past summer.
Speaker 10 (02:46:01):
Yeah, I don't think that was it. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:46:06):
Haa Garry Clark jud Uh yeah, because they'll come through.
Solo came through in like February of twenty four. Well,
you save all the giveaway stuff, you save all your
giveaway stuff. I have old emails.
Speaker 10 (02:46:17):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:46:18):
I don't remember what the help what it was. I
remember you saying it, and I was like, oh god,
I would leave the second he was done. Yeah, right
with respect. Uh I'm taking off.
Speaker 10 (02:46:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:46:33):
Well, it's like somebody was like, oh I saw Even
Sevenfold when Sullivan King opened for them. I'm like, Sullivan
King is awesome. I would have absolutely left after that. Yeah,
and uh, let even Sevenfold do their thing.
Speaker 10 (02:46:45):
But now you can go and you roll the dice
of which show is going to be worse?
Speaker 14 (02:46:49):
Is you got?
Speaker 5 (02:46:49):
Is Avenge Sevenfold or Good Charlotte. Well, I still have
to think that they will have an opener.
Speaker 10 (02:46:56):
I think they were a good Charlotte would be the opener. Right, well,
I think they probably call line. Do you think so?
Speaker 5 (02:47:01):
I think so.
Speaker 10 (02:47:02):
I mean they're billing the toures of Ben Sevenfold and good.
Speaker 5 (02:47:05):
Charlotte, Wow. And that's what I that was what I
am imagine that, because why not take a third baby
band out with you. Here's lifestyles of the rich and famous?

What is happening out there?
Speaker 10 (01:36):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Smells? Doesn't it smell like a pot roast or something
like food.
Speaker 10 (01:40):
There's something very food happening here.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Well, within the last few minutes, Rob and I are
in here and we're doing our normal pre show kind
of thing. We have our rituals. Of course, he has his,
I've got mine. Sometimes. You know, it involves lotions and salves.
I don't want to get too specific about it, but
it's uh. And literally within the last few minutes, we're like,
(02:04):
you know, halfway through Lincoln Park and I go, Jesus,
it smells like there's a carving station out there or something,
and it's very very pungent.
Speaker 10 (02:13):
It's not out there, that's the crazy part. So it
must be someone theirs is cooking. Oh god, I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
My divorce apartment many years ago, I got like the
very last corner apartment in this very very drab apartment complex,
and it was a lot of you know, immigrant families
and things like that. I have very very nice people,
but jeesez. It always smelled so good. The food always
smelled so good.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Well, this smells I don't know if good is the yeah,
but it's it's got something to it.
Speaker 10 (02:44):
Well, that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Though, It's like vaguely familiar, but I can't tell what
it is.
Speaker 10 (02:48):
It just has I feel like you're not wrong with
pot roast.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I feel like pot roast could be very much what
it is, or a stew of some sort.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Maybe it's maligaitani, but there's like an overall scent of
cooked meats or something. Somebody just opened the pots and sloppy. Yeah,
somebody opened their insta pot. If that's coming from upstairs,
that's crazy that it would make its way all the
way down.
Speaker 10 (03:15):
Here, is it?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Though?
Speaker 10 (03:16):
Do you see the way these rooms are built?
Speaker 13 (03:18):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Not crazy, No, but I mean that would be I
mean the residential floors above us. It's like a dozen
residential floors, right, doesn't necessarily mean that it's one or
two floors above us. What if it's somebody who's cooking
up I don't know, a delicious spread up there in
the penthouse.
Speaker 10 (03:37):
Level and just working its way through the whole building.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Doesn't bloom daddy have a spot upstairs?
Speaker 10 (03:42):
Doom bloody right above us.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Is there a shot that he's got he's got a
pot on the stove. No, because I saw him earlier,
but this is obviously before I smelled anything. But you
don't think that maybe he's got he's got a crock
pot going.
Speaker 10 (03:55):
No, you've seen him right, yeah, yeah, he's not cooking.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Oh I don't know. No, yeah, but crockpot. You said
it and forget it. No, I mean you you put
your stuff in there. Just do you cook it all?
Speaker 14 (04:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (04:07):
You do?
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Okay, want an ed libver Listen. I know you have
a five month old, so it's probably you're probably a
lot of strained carrots and things like that. Yet oh
next week? Yeah, okay. So like if you even people
who don't cook, I think it's fair to say if
(04:30):
you're smart, especially if you're single, if you're smart, it's
good to have a couple of dishes in your back pocket,
a couple of things you can whip together for somebody.
That really makes it look like you know what you're doing.
Do you have one of those?
Speaker 15 (04:43):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah, okay, So if you're trying to impress somebody or
you're just trying to flex a little bit in the kitchen,
you would make what.
Speaker 14 (04:52):
A cup of water?
Speaker 10 (04:53):
A cup of water? No, like, so you don't cook.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
No, I'm just kidding out.
Speaker 10 (04:57):
Oh okay, I was gonna say.
Speaker 14 (04:59):
I mean, it's just a I mean stuff.
Speaker 16 (05:00):
Peppers are really easy, yes, and siladas are really easy.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Okay, what else do I make? Again?
Speaker 10 (05:08):
Those are? There is some involvement there.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I like making meat loaf, meat loaf easy. Okay, It's
like my grandfather said, Rob, never let your meat loaf.
I'm a meat loaf guy. Okay, good. Now where are
you on the mustard on meat loaf? Oh? I love
yellow mustards? Okay on meat loafs Oh, it's this choice. Yeah, Okay,
(05:32):
meat loaf is good because then obviously you just you
make your meat and then you put it in a
loaf pan.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
And bake the crap out of it for three hours,
and then you got something.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Maybe bloom Daddy's making a meat loaf.
Speaker 10 (05:44):
No, you know what it is?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Well, now, the more I keep smelling it, I can
tell you. As soon as I say it, you're going
to agree. It is corned beef and cabbage.
Speaker 17 (05:51):
Ew.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
You know what I like.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
When I first moved to Cleveland, I lived in Tremont,
and then I lived in Ohio City for many years.
And there is a gas station at Lorraine and what
is it Lorraine and Bridge? Maybe it's a planet fit
there's there now, but it used to be a thrift store.
But there's a gas station right there on the corner,
and they have a sandwich thing in the back, the
guy making sandwiches, which I really don't see that often anymore.
(06:16):
And what I love, and it's I've seen the sign
in a handful of gas stations is they have hot
corned beef. But the corned is in quotation marks, and
I don't know what that either. The corns hot, one
of those words is in quotation marks, and I'm like,
why what do you mean by that?
Speaker 10 (06:34):
Like you're it's faux corned or listen.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
I know people, some of whom in my own family,
who believe that beef is best when it's corned. But
I would not recognize corned beef and cabbage by smell.
Speaker 10 (06:48):
You dont recogniz It was never like a go to
for me. No, that's what it smells. I'm starting to
smell like the cabbage more and more.
Speaker 13 (06:53):
Now.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, I mean again, you're probably right, but that just
leads me to think that's somebody has got a crock
pot going or something.
Speaker 14 (07:02):
Does it smell like farts?
Speaker 10 (07:03):
No, it doesn't smell like a fart.
Speaker 16 (07:05):
Farts though, huh doesn't cabbage kind of smell like farts.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Well, farts smell like cabbage, I think, right, I mean
definitely the part before the horse it can.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
But no, it smells like cabbage to me. I mean,
I don't know. Now, how are we going to find out?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Because now that we're being bombarded with this scent, and
best as I can tell, we'll probably smell at the
bulk of the show. Now I'm hungry, so it will
be mildly distracting.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Do you.
Speaker 10 (07:33):
Do you think that we'd be able to determine the
source up?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Probably not.
Speaker 10 (07:40):
If it's coming from above, we will never know, right.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, that's okay, Well it smells like something, and I
guess it's not out here.
Speaker 10 (07:49):
We have determined that I'm going corned beef and cabbage. Okay,
here you go. Oh what we're flowing the Ellen Cox.
Speaker 11 (08:02):
Show on one hundred point seven. If he sounds super
excited to see you, Hey.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
What's up? Remember he is a bad performer as a broadcaster,
he's real good.
Speaker 18 (08:16):
Alan Cox on one hundred point seven.
Speaker 19 (08:19):
WMMS two one six five seven eight one double oh seven,
eight hundred three four eight one double oh seven.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
Send me a text if you want three five one
nine two.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Our buddy rich Patrick, Rob the maan Filter native of
Bay Village, Ohio, where I currently reside, where I lay
my head every night. Rob is among the fine people
of Bay Village, Ohio. And it was a while back
when I went to the Jerry Cantrell show at the
House of Blues some weeks ago, when I first bought
(09:03):
the tickets weeks weeks weeks in advance. I'm a huge
Jerry Cantrell fan, love Alison Chains and Filter was set
to open that tour and then last minute, I guess
because the explanation was that rich Patrick had been having
back surgery or something like that. He's a guy that
still really puts himself through it. And he's no spring chicken. Right,
It's like my age.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
Even though I'm a spring chicken. Rob, He's not right.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I think he's a little older than name, but nevertheless, right,
this guy still runs around does whatever. Last minute, they
replaced Filter with Sparta if you remember them from back
in the day on that Jerry Cantroll show, and they
were great too. Sparta was more like watching It was
like being in a basement party in nineteen ninety three. Right, Well,
Filter is coming back Filter has announced. It was like
(09:49):
literally an hour ago. Filter said that they are going
on tour and it will end here in Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
They're going on a spring tour with Local H.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Another Chicago band, great band, and Finger eleven, who are
Canadian and probably the most divisive of the three. Finger
eleven is one of those bands that's had a handful
of hits. But I couldn't pick out one guy in
the band.
Speaker 10 (10:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
If you showed me a picture and said what is
this band, I would say the Tea Party? Remember them?
Speaker 10 (10:24):
The Tea Party? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And somebody said Finger eleven, I'd say, oh, all right,
well there you go.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
In all fairness, I don't know if I could pick
anybody out.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Of Local Age either, well, just Scott. I mean back
in the day it was two guys and now it's
a couple more. But you know, Filter kind of blew
up in Chicago two and so Local h are a
couple of guys that they came up with there, So
there's a.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Long time connection. Anyway.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Filter will headline this spring tour and it will end
here in Cleveland. The last date is at the House
of Blues on April the first certainly hope Rob that
that is no thinly veiled April fool's joke, because I'd
be really.
Speaker 10 (11:08):
Really bumming. He wouldn't do that to us. I certainly
hope not.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
If you got to see Filter at Buzzard Fest a
couple of summers ago, is unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
I was blown away at home. And Rich Patrick.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Remains one of the nicest guys in rock and roll,
without question. He wasn't always that way, but he has
been that guy for a long time. And so those
are three pretty heavy hitters. I mean, if you only
know a couple of local eight songs, they've got a
real good setlist.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
Hey, and if you dig that nineties rock and roll Allen.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Oh man, I do I wish that there was gonna
I mean I wish that I could go somewhere where
there was gonna be like a full seventy two hours
of it.
Speaker 10 (11:46):
You know what, dude, I've got something for you. You
do I do?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Oh wow, We're gonna do a nineties weekend here on
the Buzzard. That can't be right.
Speaker 10 (11:53):
That is right.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That sounds too amazing. It is too amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
It is so amazing that I don't even know what
but we're starting it on Friday at ten am with
Dan Stansbury.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Excellent.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
So if you liked what we did last Weekend with
the eighties, this is the same thing.
Speaker 10 (12:09):
Yeah, but for the nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yeah, which basically ended before our own. Jessica Ann Hutchinson
even came out to shoot, that's right.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
Were you ninety nine?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
She's oh, god, ninety nine, row right on the edge.
Oh my god, when's your birthday?
Speaker 14 (12:27):
May thirteenth?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
May thirteenth. I'm go'n have to put this in my
calendar now that she's part of the show. Don't forget
May the thirte Oh, it's already in there, May the thirteenth.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
How is your birthday already in my calendar? Maybe in
the contact when I send you the contact? Was it
in there?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Maybe?
Speaker 10 (12:43):
I don't know, that's my guess. AnyWho.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Okay, May thirteenth, so you will be twenty seven years
old this next spring.
Speaker 14 (12:50):
I know, gotta be careful that year.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Jesus chrissed because of Cobain and all the other people. Yep, yeah,
but you've already cleaned yourself up. They fell prey to
their vices, right, Jimmy Hendricks, is what's his name, Oh God,
the overrated guy Rob Jim Morrison. Is he in the
twenty seven club?
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Wow? I know you take umbrage with my assessment of
him as being wildly overrated, a band and artist that
would have never worked in any other period of time.
But I understand that. I understand that a very popular band.
They've lasted a long time, and there's nothing wrong with that.
(13:34):
Good on them, overrated Jim Morrison and I went to
Jim Morrison's grave in Paris. So I'm a fan of history.
I'm never mad when I hear the doors. It's when
people try to convince me that the doors were some
other worldly force and that Jim Morrison was a once
in a lifetime stop stop, Val Kilmer was better than
(13:55):
he was.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
All right, now, you're just saying things to try to
just do you see?
Speaker 5 (14:01):
How do you see how I like pull the string
on Rob's back sometimes and it's good. Well, I guess
I didn't realize. You know, I certainly don't want to
go to blows over and it's not worth that. I
guess I didn't realize you were such a doors fan.
I guess you told me. I know you do, but
you're just trying to tweak with Teitz and I'm not
going to let you do it, but loving the Doors
(14:23):
and you kind of have to compartmentalize properly assessing their
place in rock and roll history.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Yeah, I think there are many many more artists in
bands over time that are overrated before you get to
Jim Morris.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Like Commander Cody, Like sure, sure, I think you.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Can name many, many, many, many many artists before you
get to Jim Morrison being overrated.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Who do you think, either then or now? Who do
but maybe of that era, since we're talking about it,
who do you think is an overrated legend in rock
and roll?
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I think bon Jovi's tremendously overrated.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I know that it's not I know that that's not
the same era, but I think that they are probably
one of the most overrated.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I just loves bon Jovi. Do you know, let's try
to get her to play along.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
You wouldn't do it?
Speaker 13 (15:16):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yeah, no, Arrowsmith, you love Arrows. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
I think the Red Hot Chili Peppers are jarringly overrated. Yeah, Okay,
did you hear the Flea song? No?
Speaker 12 (15:28):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Is there a new one?
Speaker 7 (15:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Flee is getting ready to drop a solo album in
twenty twenty six. And if you know anything about Flea
and I like flee a lot, it's exactly what you
think it would be. I read an article that described
it as after decades of anticipation, what Flea's debut. Yeah,
(15:51):
it's called it's the song by Flea. It's called a
Plea p l eat.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
Everyone come on.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
So it's just an experimental fun thing for him.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Come on with me.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
That song is seven minutes and forty seconds long. Okay,
so it's a lot of wanking and yes, but if
you like Flea and appreciate what he does, then yeah,
that's gonna drop in the spring, the first Flea solo record.
But he's never done he's never done a solo album before.
(16:35):
Obviously he's got a lot of really good, diverse artists
with him. So I think people who are into the
Chili Peppers, I don't think you're gonna hear a lot
of that there because it's gonna be his thing, whatever
he wants to do.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I think people are gonna jump on it to do
something with Flea, you know what I mean? And if
you can have like that, it's like what's his nuts
is doing? From outcast andre three thousand flute records, just
dicking a round.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
He's having a good time.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
I'm hoping that maybe there's somewhere buried in this Flea
album there is an Andree three thousand flute solo. That's
what I want. The first thing I thought when I
was listening to the song this morning is I was like, Jesus,
this is like the equivalent of that Andreie three thousand
flute record. So, yeah, he's got He's not even the
(17:21):
only bass player on it.
Speaker 20 (17:22):
Rob.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
So I'm telling you what if you are a bass player, uh,
you are going to have one hand down your pants.
Speaker 10 (17:29):
Listen to this a full bass album. Yeah, so every
song has a bass solo.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Oh, we got some old less Claypool, We got some
old Cliff Burton reel from the vault, Michael Anthony.
Speaker 10 (17:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
I don't know who else is on this, but you
can tell that the people he's performing with on just
that song, the first offering from it, drummer sounds great.
Don't know who that is.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
Fleas.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Flea's daughter directed the music video. Dropped a video for
this song again. The song is seven minutes and thirty
eight seconds long. There are spoken word breakdowns in it.
That's because they know it like it's never gonna get play.
It's just it's it's fun. He's doing his thing, he's
having a good time. It's not more songs about California
by Anthony Keatis. He's in his Gil Scott Herron Eraah,
(18:19):
as it were, the Revolution will not be televised. So, yeah,
you mentioned the Chili Peppers and that new Flea solo album.
His first is coming out next spring. Now you might
be saying to yourself, Alan, given the information we just received,
what are the chances that that will be Jess's twenty
(18:40):
seventh birthday gift?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Pretty good? I would say I'll go in with you
on it. The Flea album You're Welcome, Yeah, boy, that
was at the top of my wish plus it sure was.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Oil boy, Alan, is this the last week of live shows? Well,
it depends on if you want it to be or not,
because my answer will either bum you out or make
you excited.
Speaker 10 (19:03):
It is not the last week of live shows. It's
the last full week of live show.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Yeah, Tomorrow will be the last Wednesday of the year,
and then, as luck would have it, the last Thursday
and Friday year. One week from today will be our
last live show. It will coincide, purely coincidentally with my
sixteenth anniversary here at WMMS. I want to throw day.
I was talking what just theme day? Theme day do
you have? I was talking to my daughter on the
(19:27):
way to school this morning, and she was asking about
how many days I had left, and I said, well,
one week from today is going to be my last
live show and then I'm off for the rest of
the year. And I said it's it will mark sixteen
years at WMMS. And she can't really get her head
around that because she's only been around for ten but
(19:50):
obviously born and being raised here in Ohio. I'm from Illinois,
her mom is from Michigan, and so this is all
she knows. And so I was like, yeah, She's like,
is that the longest you've been anywhere? I said, yes,
it is. I've been in a lot of places, but
sixteen years is a long time.
Speaker 10 (20:08):
It's no joke, man.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
They just keep making it worth my while to stay here. Rob.
You know the people who hate me, the guy that
was repeatedly texting me that I was to see you
next Tuesday, yesterday, sixteen years in any sign time, somebody
texts me and goes, You're you're done, You're going to
be fired. I'm like Jesus Christ, get it over with already.
Why will you put me out of my misery? If
(20:31):
you had gotten me at year one or two, you
might have had a case. But sixteen, it's not exactly
the sort of damicles hanging over my head anymore. Nevertheless,
anything can happen, Rob. If this company even gets a
whiff that I am anything less than human, it's curtains
for your boy, Ac.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
That's right, you're almost more guaranteed now. I'm human as
you're human. I'm guaranteed human now again.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
I do make the distinction in the purely existential sense,
in the interpersonal sense. If you ever meet me in
a lot of you have, you won't walk away thinking
that you've had an interaction with a real flesh and blood,
carbon based person.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
You just go eh, and then you'd go get a
hamburger or something.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
See before, when they were just like running down lists
of numbers and firing people, willy nilly, I think now
they have to like go look at it and go, oh,
here's a number and this is attached to let's see what.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
As I say, Alan Cox.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
And then they get to the next box and it
has a check mark and it says human yes nom hm.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
They have to skip right over it now if it
says yes.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
And those of you who've been around for a long time,
you remember Willy Nilly used to do afternoons at WGAR.
Figure it out.
Speaker 10 (21:39):
It was he and West Western.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I yes, West Western and Willy Nilly were doing afternoons
over there. And boy, once the jig was up, it
was curtains for those guys. Alan, Crosby, Stills in Nash
are overrated. Well, I think Stills is, But I like
Crosby and Nash.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
I don't know that what makes them still rated. There's
ten five songs you can name.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Stephen Still's British was one of or Graham Nash is British.
I think one of those guys, right, One of those
guys is English. Graham, Nash, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Now are they overrated?
Speaker 8 (22:17):
No?
Speaker 10 (22:17):
Are they under Okay? I think better with him, don't you.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
I'm agnostic about all of it. Anytime I hear them,
I'm like, yeah, it's fine. You know again, very much
of the time, Tom Down and Canton, who hits us
up a lot, Alan, Jim Morrison is no Jimmy Buffett,
but he was pretty good. Yeah, they could joke about
(22:41):
Jimmy Buffett every two seconds. Uh huh, Alan, what about
Chad Smith is a drummer. I think he's great, but
I know nothing about drummer. Charry Smith is great. He's
exactly what the Chili Peppers need. He has created a
fantastic career just being in the pocket. He looks like
Will Ferrell, looks like Will Ferrell. Yeah, that's not a
band that requires a whole lot. He gives them more
(23:03):
than they actually need, you know, with him and Flea,
those guys are the rhythm section. And so now I
was a fan of Dave Navarro era Chili Peppers. It
was very short lived. They sounded very different. They had
a much harder edge because they were kind of they
were kind of in the wilderness at that point creatively,
and so they kind of let Dave Navarro take the reins.
(23:24):
But longtime Peppers fans were like, I don't like this
at all. That one Hot Minute record. I liked it
a lot. I thought it was great, but it was
a different vibe and it didn't last long. And you
know what was what was the single from that?
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Do you remember?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yeah, Warped that was it, and then My Friends I
think Aeroplane was from that. They had a handful of hits, okay, yeah,
one hot minute it was Dave. It was the one
album they made with Dave Navarro nineteen ninety five. I
remember him in the band. I don't remember any of
the songs. Yeah. It was because they were coming right
(23:58):
off Blood Sugar Sex, which was massive. That was their biggest,
biggest one, the Aeroplane, my Friends and Warped. But Warped
was the first video, right, and it was heavy and
they were all in like PVC Latex. I mean, it
had Dave Navarro all over. It wasn't my Friend's slow
it was. But Chili Peppers fans looked at that and
(24:20):
were like, what the hell is this?
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Was that the ad of.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
My fans of yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that song.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
It's okay, yeah. I can't.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
With the exception of the first Chili Peppers albums, I
don't know that I've ever really dug anything they've done since.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
I mean, I loved Blood Sugar Sex, man, but so
did everybody else, you know what I mean? Like that
just whatever it was, Uh, that hit people right. Betwenty
Eyes and my girlfriend at the time, I remember going
to six Flags. She was a couple of years younger
than me, were so in college and her sisters were
way into that Blood Sugar, Sex Magic record and they
just listen into it non stop.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
It was great. It was a great record.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
But then again, I mean, like everything was Californication and
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 10 (25:08):
I'll just has that same.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
They love their home state, Rob. You know, people give
me a hard time for name dropping Chicago so much, but.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
You love where you're from. You're from Chicago.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
People from Cleveland act like they leave and never mention
Cleveland again. Can't shut you guys up about Cleveland when
you move, and that's kind of how it's supposed to be.
Of course you'll come back, but still while you're gone,
you can't shut up about it.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Yeah, this I could, I could never hear again it
be fine. Wow wow Rob Wow, I'm just saying wow,
I think again. I think they are a jarringly overrated band.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Huh jarringly yes, Alan ac DC and Nirvana are incredibly overrated.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
I hear ac DC a lot Nirvana.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
You can you can make a case for just you
know which one of those grunge bands was going to
be the face of all of it, and Nirvana just
happened to be it.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Right, Somebody texted me Chris Cornell is ass Oh, well,
that's just stupid ass in all caps. I assume you.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Mean amazingly, amazingly super sexy.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
Super sound singer.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, super song guy, amazing song singer, rich and Northfield,
The Beatles suck ass, Well, that's just stupid.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
I was gonna say, you might have a hard time.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You know, opinions are one thing, but you're gonna have
a real hard time convincing a room of people that
the Beatles are no good.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Well, that's and that's again, that's where opinion like you
you're that that's not just an opinion thing, Like there's
fact to back up the Beatles. You can argue about
the Red Hot Chili Peppers if you want, right, you
can't argue about the Beatles.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
But who wants to argue over the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Speaker 10 (26:55):
No one, no one.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I'll just play all the stupid songs and that's what
people want me to play, So I'll keep playing him Hey,
here's breaking the Girl again.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
There you go. Now that's a good song. Fine, I
don't hear that one enough. Here's Californication. Well, here's under
the Bridge. God, I haven't heard that one enough. Yeah,
but you forget that Californication is frigging twenty five years old.
Speaker 10 (27:15):
I know. I still think of that as like, oh,
it's a few years old.
Speaker 14 (27:18):
No.
Speaker 10 (27:19):
Every time I get five years old scar tissue.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Every time I get back one of these tests, I
look and they're in like the top twenty five times,
I'm like, who is taking this?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
How can you still love this band that much? It's
called timeless rock and roll rock?
Speaker 10 (27:34):
I guess man.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Allen is David Lee Roth excited for the Flea solo album.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
Hope he's on it. Uh huh, Wow, he's already jumping
for joy.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Dave tell us about the Can you tell us about
the recording process with Flee?
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (27:52):
I was hoping you would tell us. I'm sorry, Dave's
having a rough morning.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Fine, it's fine, it's animal.
Speaker 21 (28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Well he's on the West coast, so it is mourning
for him. That's where the difficulty is. Yeah, something he's
gotta get going.

of weeks back. I'm still driving my rental, although I
think in the next couple of days I'll have it.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
Did they run into a snag or something? I thought
they told you it was gonna be quick. They did,
but they never know.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I wasn't gonna hold him to that, you know, Sure, Yeah,
but I hadn't gotten an update, and they've been real diligent,
but I hadn't gotten an update in like a week,
and so I hit them up this morning and the
guy was like, Yeah, I was just gonna text you
today let you know that we're gonna do some last
minute tests on it. Blah blah blah. So that is
coming to an end. But I get a text from
my daughter last night. Hey, and I want you to
freak out if you hear from Mom or you hear
(29:58):
from Jude. Truck backed into me last night. Now I
read it as she got rear ended by a truck.
But she was at a gas station and a semi
truck backed into She was honking her horn and the
guy didn't see her or whatever I got, and basically
like sheared off the left side of her her Rev
(30:19):
four or something like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Was she in the car? Yeah, she was. She's like
honking the guy didn't hear.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
She's like, this is the third time in five months
that I've been sitting somewhere in my car and somebody
wasn't paying attention and bumped me or hit me or something.
Speaker 10 (30:34):
So she was like sending me photos.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Her driver's side side mirror shattered, The driver's side window
was all shattered into her car.
Speaker 10 (30:42):
What is the car? Oh? God, Rev four.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
It's probably it's not old, it's not brand new, but
it's probably like a fifteen.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
So it sounds like a lot of damage. Man, that
might be it for that car. No, I'm like, well,
at least I'm trying to be glass half full.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
She's okay, exactly, but I was freaking out initially, and
she's like, I'm not hurt. But she said ironically because
she does all these she does regular performances as part
of her class work there at Michigan State. And she's like,
I was doing a thing last night and I look
out the window and my car is being towed. And
I run out and asked the guy, beg the guy
(31:19):
to not tow me, and he's like, okay, so he didn't.
She's like, if he had towed me, that truck wouldn't
hit me. I was like, well, I'm still driving my rental,
so yeah, so now they got to figure that out.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
But trying to be glass half full, I'm like, well,
at least you're.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
On Christmas break, yes, you know, So now that's got
to get figured out. But the initial text I think
I misread because I thought she meant that she got
rear ended by a truck, and I'm like Jesus Christ,
and then she's like, no, no, I was at the
gas station sitting there and he backed the trailer up
into her car, and I was like, Okay, what the
(31:54):
hell's going on out there? But fortunately she's okay. If
you are not listening to us on the iHeartRadio app,

Speaker 20 (32:24):
Hey Allen, hate the show.
Speaker 17 (32:25):
I heard you and Rob last week talking about the
island of Jamaica, and I actually just wanted to call
in because.
Speaker 20 (32:31):
I just returned from Jamaica.
Speaker 17 (32:34):
I work in the travel industry and was down there
last week prior to some resource opening, and I just
wanted to call.
Speaker 20 (32:40):
In and just mention that Jamaica's open and they are
need they're in need of the tourism. They're ready to
welcome people back.
Speaker 17 (32:49):
The paths, the roads to and from the resource were
clear and open, and all the staff members that I
talked to, from the airport workers to the taxi drivers
to the hotel staff.
Speaker 20 (33:00):
They're very eager for people to return.
Speaker 17 (33:03):
You know, people forget that the fastest transfer of wealth
so they can give these islands is tourism.
Speaker 20 (33:08):
They are they are ready to welcome people back.
Speaker 17 (33:10):
And hopefully as the weather starts to turn here in Ohio,
people will look to travel there because, as you guys know,
the people there definitely are are are good, good people
and they need So I have a good one Ron.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Can you imagine he's just back from Jamaica and when
those hurricanes went through basically every resort on that island,
on certain parts of the island other than Ocho Rios,
we're like decimated. Yeah, so he's just coming back. Hey,
we got to think of what we swing in on
a chandelier.
Speaker 10 (33:43):
We do a show trip to Jamaica. Can you imagine this? Yeah?
I can, let's go. I'm ready, you want to go?
Next week. Oh, we get back.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Let's go and we get back. I mean, I don't
want to go next week. No, No, we'll we'll be gone.
I'm ready some to think about. Well anyway, I don't
know if I mean again, I don't know if the
call to hey, go down and help the people of
Jamaica by taking some time and spending some money that
night might not fall in as many ears as you like.
Speaker 10 (34:12):
But I take his point.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Most of the parts of what twenty six resorts had
tons of damage done. So the places that are in
Ocho Rios right now they're living high in the hog.
Speaker 10 (34:25):
They're getting the.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
The bulk of that tourism.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
But yeah, I'm down, man, I'll let's book it.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Did you see that video of when Miss Jamaica fell
off the stage speaking of Jamaica. I didn't see this
at the time. Do you see this? Well, I guess
those three four weeks ago, but I didn't see it
at the time.
Speaker 10 (34:46):
She's a doctor.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
She's a freaking like ophthalmologist or something, or doctor Gabriel Henry.
She was the Miss Universe contestant. She was Miss Jamaica
and she fell off the stage laughing. Man, I watched this.
I hadn't seen it at the time. I was like, Jesus,
she's like just getting out of the hospital now because
(35:08):
she had a brain bleed.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, that part's not funny, but when people are ah.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
This morning, new details about the moment to stun the
Miss Universe pageant, Miss Jamaica doctor Gabrielle Henry walking on
stage in a sparkling orange gown when suddenly she trips
in falls, disappearing whoa like a bag.
Speaker 10 (35:30):
Of Dirtologists rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Now the pageant revealing she suffered a brain bleed with
loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations, and other significant injury.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
I mean, if you're a doctor, you don't want anything
happening to your brain. I mean, if you're any person,
you don't want anything happened in your brain. How did
they miss that?
Speaker 10 (35:47):
I didn't see how the time it said that was
before Thanksgiving? Yeah, she fell hard, man, I mean, wow,
they had to stretcher her off the stage. Again.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I don't I don't mean to laugh, but when people
fall down.
Speaker 10 (35:59):
I have a very hard time not laughing.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Well, you've I've played Kelsey Grammar.
Speaker 10 (36:03):
That's one of the best of all time. What does
he say?
Speaker 5 (36:07):
Oh good, oh good god, something like that. He's talking,
and there was many years ago and the edge of
the stage had these It was shaped very strangely like
it looked like the teeth of a key, and so
they were kind of it was very uneven, and he
was walking. Oh good lord, oh good, Oh good god.
And if you close your eyes, it's just sideshow bob
(36:29):
falling off of a stage.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
Right.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
But the Miss Jamaica thing like she's doing the strut,
the runway walk and it just I don't know, look
straight ahead, and knowing that she was injured makes it
much less funny. But she fell through an opening in
the stage, which he is funny.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
It's funny. I'm sorry, it's funny through it's a.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
Small world pretending I was a un interpret.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
Everybody, Oh good look, oh good lord.
Speaker 17 (36:59):
I think.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Because you're embarrassed. You know you're embarrassed. Yeah, you felt.
You're talking and walking and you're doing the whole err
and Sorkin thing, and you're on display and you're.
Speaker 10 (37:17):
There to discuss your craft.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
And so in a split second, you go from talking
about something that you hope will be of interest to
people to a very very human moment. Oh good lord.
That's why Rob I always prepare for contingencies. I'm not
somebody who leaves a great deal to chance. I don't
(37:41):
do it professionally, and I don't do it personally, and
so I know that if I am in a situation
like that, I want to have like a good pithy
line ready in case I fall off of stage. Have
you ever fallen off a stage?
Speaker 4 (37:59):
No, but we both almost fell very publicly at the
Monsters game on the ice.
Speaker 10 (38:04):
That counts.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
So last year Rob and I are hosting Cleveland Rocks
Night again. It's coming up January third. Yeah, well we
won't even be back alive on the air yet. This
will be over the break Cleveland Rocks Night there at
the Rocket Arena, and last year Robin I did it.
We're a brand new show, we're only a couple of
weeks in and we go out there and they asked
us to do the puck drop.
Speaker 10 (38:24):
Absolutely, it's fun.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
I used to do the games on ice for the
Monsters games, right, and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 10 (38:32):
So we go out there.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
They've got the carpet runner, so the essensibly see you
don't slip and it's kind of at a right angle.
So you go out there and then you make a
you know, and you get to center ice. Well, those
carpet runners are rubber on the bottom and they're on
the ice right. So we're walking like very gingerly right.
We're like Bambie going across the pond. And I'm behind
(38:58):
Rob where I like to be, and and he how
did it go the way you walked? You kind of
I bunched up a little bit right, and so that
kind of bunched up in front of me.
Speaker 10 (39:13):
Long story short, we almost both bid it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Yeah, I did, like the the real quick, like I
felt the back heel of my boots slip and I
was like whoa and I and I caught like that,
oh god, like you catch yourself. And then I turned
around to look at you, and I saw the little
gap in the ice and I'm like, oh no, and
you stepped over it, and that's you almost went like
you you got it worse than me.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Now, it would have been hilarious if either of us
had bit it on the ice. It would have been
so good if that entire arena erupted in laughter. Now,
it doesn't mean I'm gonna try to do that.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Well, you would have got the Oh, like, did you
ever see one of the guys singing.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
Your monsters are?
Speaker 21 (39:55):
Look at that deuice bag. Oh now he's starfishing all over.
He can't even get up off the ice. Oh what
a jag off this guy is. That's Alan packs will
wow usb you overball.
Speaker 10 (40:08):
I think he might have broken something.
Speaker 23 (40:09):
Oh no, he is a flailing wildly. Alright, give it
up four m every buddy. He'll be in the icy.
Speaker 10 (40:22):
Sure happened two days yeah out by then? See what guy?
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Did you ever see the guy singing the Canadian national
anthem on skates and he hits that same carpet that
we were on.
Speaker 10 (40:34):
No, he's like, ok.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Just here in Cleveland, No Mark Donnelly trading over the carpet.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
That's probably it Canada. Yeah, and the noise when he
hit loses it. And then when he hits the ground. Oh,
he's actively skate skating and singing. Oh it's so good.
Speaker 10 (40:53):
This is one of my favorite videos of all times
is twenty fourteen.
Speaker 24 (40:56):
Oh and then he hits the runner and then that's
keeping him from getting up any trip over and he
(41:18):
just hit some choppy ice.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
No, he caught the edge of that carpet. Oh he did, Yeah,
so he just when he goes ooh yeah. You gotta
give the guy credit man for going. But the best
(41:39):
is you watch the players when it happens, Like that
whole line of players. You just see everybody put their
gloves up to their face because they tried to start instantly,
try to start not laughing. Also, that dude number twenty
seven just starts laughing and he doesn't even care.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
But also I would say it's ice, like if you
trip and fall on a regular surfa, you know, you go, okay,
ha ha ha, it's ice.
Speaker 10 (42:03):
Yeah, well happen. But he's on skates, like the guy
obviously knows what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (42:07):
Yeah, I expect to possibly fall every time I'm out
there on the ice. It doesn't happen that often. I
don't think I've been out there since we did it
last year, and.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
I still don't know what we're doing. I don't know
if we're doing the puck drop, if we're doing stuff
during the game.
Speaker 10 (42:23):
I have no idea. I'm waiting to hear back from everybody.
But it's the third I think you said right, it's
January it's Saturday, January the third.
Speaker 5 (42:29):
That's right, all right, lady said please to the ice
from one of them our point, well, you all was
hell couch, so please.
Speaker 8 (42:43):
Give it up for the cli.
Speaker 10 (42:48):
He thank you, thank you, you're so kind.
Speaker 21 (42:53):
Bikwun goes down.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
Right, that's gonna require a stitch. Yeah, well fine, that'll
be fun. But yeah, I don't know what they want
us to do either.
Speaker 10 (43:08):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
Yeah, we'll be hosting some games or whatever. You know
usually do Allan in regards to miss Jamaica every ten
not iree, Oh good lord, Yeah, Allan, I don't know
what's funnier watching someone try to regain their balance or
(43:30):
the sound of all the air escaping from their body
when they fall. Well, is it worse if you try
to It's a it's a perfectly natural reflex and reaction
to try to catch yourself as you're falling. But that
does make for a month. Nobody's gonna like pull a
lebron and purposely.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
Flop, right, That's why you get hurt. Yeah, I mean
when you try to catch yourself, that's when things happen.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
You just gotta be a bang of bones. Calgary versus
the Bruins streaker on the ice and slips and knocks
himself out.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
I don't think I ever saw that one, but the
national anthem singer was my favorite, just because the sound
he's singing a.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
College student's embarrassing streak fail at the Flames Bruins game.
This is leg A two thousand and two. Oh, he
goes out cold and he's lying there on the ice
buck naked, and then they put him in. They put
him on the stretcher in the thing that where you
don't let you move your head in case you have
a head injury or neck injury or something, and he's
like doing the double deuces. How about that?
Speaker 10 (44:36):
We should send jess out there.
Speaker 5 (44:37):
Actually that should be her big coming out is on
January the third, which said we send her out there.
Speaker 10 (44:42):
Make her do the punk drup.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
Yeah, I'll definitely fine.
Speaker 10 (44:45):
He's a trouble for the al kasr pots of.
Speaker 7 (44:51):
It's Jessica, just yess ess.
Speaker 13 (44:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (44:59):
Well whoa, whoa, she got a blanket on back there,
now ow she go?
Speaker 7 (45:05):
She broke her.
Speaker 5 (45:06):
Face like she's trying to get off the stage, and
I gotta trying to help her at all.
Speaker 14 (45:12):
No, I fall all the time.
Speaker 10 (45:14):
She's rocking the blanky back there. You see that.
Speaker 14 (45:16):
It's a scarf.
Speaker 5 (45:17):
No, I haven't seen her. It's a scarf, a scarf.
It's a big scarf. Yeah, what blanket size scarf? Wow,

pack of fabric?
Speaker 14 (45:36):
Good size, nice lama?
Speaker 25 (45:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (45:39):
Speaking of camels, somebody was calling in about the cigarettes
because Jess is a smoker.
Speaker 20 (45:44):
Hey guys, cigarette smok her ear and.
Speaker 5 (45:47):
I heard you that sounds like Jeane Simmons when he
calls us from his twenty twelve pilot by the way.
Speaker 10 (45:53):
Of kiss and myself of myself.
Speaker 26 (45:56):
Hey guys, cigarette smok her ear, and I heard your
days ago mentioned the camel.
Speaker 14 (46:01):
Blue Rob said, well, she has spoken that long about.
Speaker 20 (46:04):
Victos are news she's talking about they're actually called camel
Turkish royals and.
Speaker 13 (46:08):
They're not new.
Speaker 20 (46:09):
I haven't smoked a cigarette.
Speaker 10 (46:11):
Wasn't talking about those something like that, And that is
what I use.
Speaker 20 (46:16):
As soon as she said, cal exactly what she's talking about.
Speaker 5 (46:20):
And I kind of wanted one so you're so you are.
That's not what you're talking about, because I don't know
one from the other.
Speaker 14 (46:26):
Camel lights.
Speaker 5 (46:27):
Camel lights they're blue, gotcha, not camel. Turkish royals, I
know what those are though, Okay those?
Speaker 8 (46:36):
Oh god?
Speaker 5 (46:38):
Now what determines a gross cigarette from a non gross cigarette? Well,
your sucking smoke into your body.
Speaker 10 (46:46):
The taste, remember she was telling us the taste.
Speaker 16 (46:48):
And then like the draw, like you know, like a
you know, a light cigarette. Rob Like the way it
takes a little bit more of a draw to get
it out. Yeah, you gotta take a harder draw. Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
Well, as we all know, camel or not, you can
really do damage to your lungs over time. Lifelong smoker there.
Speaker 10 (47:12):
The Ellen Cock Show on.
Speaker 4 (47:19):
See some little unfair that you can watch our live
stream but we can't see you.
Speaker 10 (47:26):
But we'll fix that tonight.
Speaker 5 (47:30):
Outside your Window.
Speaker 25 (47:33):
Show on.
Speaker 16 (47:36):
M m A.
Speaker 5 (47:51):
It was funny at this Kevin Gates show that I
went to some weeks ago. I'm gonna play a clip
here of a guy who just goes off on people
who were chatty at shows. But what's funny too with
the shows are all the people who just spend the
whole time, and it's like gen z girls, I get it,
But is they spend the bulk of the show putting
(48:14):
themselves on TikTok singing along to the songs. It's on
footage of the show. It's never face forward. It's just
them singing along to all the songs and posting those
videos of themselves doing that at shows. And I mentioned
it at the time the right after that show that
(48:36):
I am in the background of a lot of young
girls tiktoks because a bunch of girls in front of
me spent most of the show doing that, filming themselves
singing along to the songs and putting it on TikTok.
And so I'm just back there. And then I'm not
paying attention, right, I'm background rob And I'm not the
(48:58):
guy that's gonna like make faces or try to screw
up their video. It's their video. But I'm like zelig
at this guy. Damn sure is a nice contemporary reference. Now,
this guy goes off on people talking at shows.
Speaker 6 (49:16):
Explain to me why people are buying concert tickets just
to go to the show and talk the whole fucking time.
Speaker 10 (49:21):
And I don't mean talk like, oh hey, I really
like this song. Yeah it this band's really good.
Speaker 6 (49:25):
I mean talking like having the loudest conversation in the
history of loud conversations. I was at a show the
other night and there were two guys next to me
who were having a full on conversation during the show.
It was louder than the band. I literally have to
say to him. I was like, guys, there's a time
and a place to have a conversation, and it is
not in the middle of a concert.
Speaker 10 (49:43):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (49:43):
One guy looks at me and he goes, We'll dude,
if it bugs you, just go somewhere else. I'm not
going anywhere, dude, you literally said. I was like, buddy,
I'm not moving. If you guys want to talk, you
can go to a bar. There's a bar right across
the street. Get the f out of here, go talk there.
Speaker 10 (49:57):
They just laugh the way you like. Okay. And I
heard one girl be like, what did he say now
that we're talking.
Speaker 6 (50:01):
People who buy tickets to concerts just to talk the
whole time are the exact same people who buy tickets
to movies and talk during the entire movie. So if
you are that kind of person, congratulations you are the
fucking worst.
Speaker 10 (50:14):
That guy's a douchebag.
Speaker 5 (50:16):
Well, like, I get what he means, But is that
was that your first concert? Is that a hill you're
gonna die on?
Speaker 10 (50:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (50:22):
Like, dude, get bent. Every single person in that place
did the exact same thing. You didn't bought tickets.
Speaker 5 (50:28):
If you don't like it, move well, this is where
we might part company though, Yeah, because I'm very ambivalent.
I genuinely don't know how to think about this notion
that I bought a ticket.
Speaker 10 (50:41):
Yeah, I can do whatever I want to do.
Speaker 5 (50:44):
And so it's like, well, you did, but we're also
having a collective experience here. That's why people go to shows.
That's why you're not sitting in your living room and
just listening to the band. You're going to see them perform. Yes,
because the guy who wants you to shut up also
bought a ticket, right, Oh who wins? I mean, but again,
is this this guy's first concert? Because and it happens
(51:06):
all the time, Like, dude, again, now, I don't know this.
I don't know where this guy goes on conversation. I mean,
if you're talking to somebody and he kind of alludes
to that at the beginning. These weren't two people that
were just like, oh, this is great. They were in
a full on conversation. Now, now I equate what he's
talking about. I equate if you're next to somebody who's
singing every song right next to you. It's like, but
(51:31):
what's wrong with that? It like, if it's not okay
to talk, why is it not okay to sing? I'm saying,
it's all not okay. That's what I'm saying. I'm technically
with this guy. I would never go off on somebody.
I would never tell somebody, hey, go to a bar
and have a conversation. That's why I think of the
Agora Rob. Anytime I'm going to a show with the Agora,
(51:53):
I'm up in the box. Yeah, I buy tickets in
the box. Now, that's my choice because I don't necessarily
want to be down there and have to deal with
people screaming.
Speaker 10 (52:01):
But it's obviously their right to do that whatever.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
I try to set myself up for success, but if
people are near and again, most of the shows I
go to are metal shows, so you're not gonna hear
anybody's conversation over those bands.
Speaker 10 (52:15):
And I don't know what show he was referring to there.
Speaker 5 (52:18):
But there are some shows you could absolutely I mean,
the band will be like, hey, we can hear you guys.
Speaker 10 (52:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (52:25):
The venue also matters, like if you're in it, if
it's a stadium thing and you're like sitting there talking
to someone in your seats. Yeah yeah, So what now
if you're in a bar? I agree, Okay, maybe go
somewhere else. There's a bar right there, Go stand at
the bar and talk if you want it. Okay, fine,
But I don't know, man, I don't. I think everybody's there.
I know it's a collective experience, but everybody's also there
(52:47):
because they want to be there, and how they choose
to enjoy it is up to them. You want to dance,
you want to sing, you want to do whatever.
Speaker 22 (52:52):
Good.
Speaker 4 (52:53):
I hate that you can't just yet. But dancing is silent. No,
I know, but you got you caught crap for doing
that show? Was that you told me to sit down?
Speaker 5 (53:02):
Oh, Eddie money, Eddie money, Right, twenty years ago, you
couldn't have the experience you wanted to have because people
weren't having that as a collective experience.
Speaker 10 (53:10):
That's not fair to you.
Speaker 5 (53:11):
I guess I'm trying to figure out how we can
all coexist in these public situations. I understand why people
who are sitting down behind me want me to sit
down if I'm standing up now, that's not my optimal
way to have a show, is me sitting down and watching.
Speaker 10 (53:27):
But again it was Eddie Money. That's an older crowd.
Speaker 5 (53:30):
Again, this is twenty years ago, right, so those people
then would have probably been my age now.
Speaker 4 (53:35):
But I don't want to sit and watch Eddie Money
hey down in front. Yeah, it tries me crazy. It's
fine in certain settings.
Speaker 5 (53:44):
Well, but also when we turned around, my friends and
I turned around because we were like lit up, we
were in the bag anyway, turned around like everyone was
sitting down, and so I'm like, okay, Well, you do
have to allow for the fact that if you are
in a distinct minority in a crowd, you kind of
have to acquiesce to the mob a little bit, for sure.
(54:05):
But if you're standing there and people are next to you, jess,
if you guys are performing, I bet anything, you're not
up there within ears, So you're up there if people
are talking or yelling, and granted it's a bar and
you guys are like doing a regular thing, but you
can hear them talking. Oh, if they're having really loud conversations,
Oh for sure. And it is different if you're like
(54:26):
doing a gig in a bar, as opposed to a
show where everybody's ticketed and gone to see a band
at the Agora. Right, if they're like, hey, cobout dow,
we got two dollars, watch a MC call it's and
sushi roles playing, that is a different situation than Hey,
I'm front row at coheedon Camber or whatever. But again,
(54:48):
if you've ever gone to more than one show, you're
gonna be if you're gonna have that conversation with people talking,
you're gonna have that conversation at every show. And I
don't know that that's a hill you want to die on.
Speaker 4 (55:01):
Yeah, I mean I went and saw Mammoth with a
buddy of mine and we talked during points. Not anything crazy,
but hey, what's uh, what's your wife up to tonight?
Speaker 22 (55:11):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (55:11):
Whatever, she's sitting at home.
Speaker 4 (55:13):
Move during the music during one of the bands, somebody
asked me what I was doing and where Melissa was
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (55:18):
Yeah, it's like the opening band, Yeah, Miles Kennedy.
Speaker 10 (55:21):
Yeah, no, no, that was the Uh what was either
return to dust?
Speaker 20 (55:25):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (55:25):
You gotcha?
Speaker 10 (55:26):
So I mean, yeah, I don't know, man.
Speaker 4 (55:28):
I just I feel like if everyone is there, everyone
is there for a purpose, right, if you want to
be there because you love this band you love, maybe
they maybe the band that this guy was there to see.
Speaker 10 (55:41):
These dudes didn't love as much. That's what I'm saying. Like,
I'm not trying to yuck.
Speaker 5 (55:45):
Anybody's young, and I would never tell another person at
a show, hey, don't do what you're doing. I would
move right. That guy got really indignant. They're like, hey,
move and I'm not moving, Like I'll move. It's fine,
same reason. I'm not a road rager. Go ahead, get
in front of me.
Speaker 10 (56:05):
Oh see.
Speaker 4 (56:05):
No, if somebody told me a concert to go stand
at the bar and talk, I would be absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (56:09):
I would talk louder, right, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (56:12):
Yeah, I would get absolutely that's not gonna happen, and
they're gonna talk to me like that.
Speaker 10 (56:18):
Well, It's funny.
Speaker 5 (56:19):
Like we on the way to my mom's house for
Thanksgiving for the hotel rather we pulled off, scooped up,
my son got back on the high you know whatever,
and it's nuts to butts, it's all. It's it's Wednesday
before Thanksgiving. It's two in the afternoon, and in Chicago
you're already in full on even on a regular non
(56:40):
holiday day, you're in full on rush hour after two o'clock,
three o'clock, and so we're crawling. And you'll always have
those people who come from the far right where they merge.
They pull past everyone and then want to merge last minute. Yeah,
and my wife gets so mesh, she goes, don't let
that guy. I go, I'm gonna let him in. I'm
(57:01):
not an It's fine. You know, you got all these
people that are indignant intro I'm not letting that guy in.
Why let him in?
Speaker 10 (57:09):
See, I get that way with certain things.
Speaker 8 (57:11):
It's fine, all.
Speaker 5 (57:13):
Going in the same direction. We're all going five miles
an hour. But why is that person more important than you?
Why can that person do what they want? Because so
I'm going to get there two minutes before this.
Speaker 10 (57:24):
No, this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (57:26):
You're with her. This is what I'm saying my brain.
I go, it's not that important.
Speaker 10 (57:30):
It's civilian.
Speaker 5 (57:31):
Please go go, I go, you go, I go. Why
do you get to different than everybody else. Because some
people don't understand civility. Some people don't know how to
live in a society I do, and so I go
go ahead. That makes them an a hole, and they
should be taught, yes, but they're not gonna a holes
don't ever learn lessons. That's why they're a holes. They
(57:51):
don't ever learn lessons. You're not going to teach them lessons,
definitely not in rush hour traffic. So I go go ahead.
I wag of them in.
Speaker 10 (58:00):
Oh, simple manners things drives me. Those are the things
that drive me the most.
Speaker 5 (58:03):
This is I am a big proponent of manners, right,
but these people aren't my children. I teach my children
that so they can coexist with other people, many of
whom have no manners. So I'm like, I have to
allow for other people, not to an extreme degree. But again,
if we're in five mile an hour rush hour traffic
and this guy comes all he could emerged back there,
(58:25):
Yeah he didn't because he went all the way up
because he knew he knew somebody would let him and
I did. And he believes that he's more important than
every single other person in that line. I don't know
what he believes just as I just know that that
was the route he took.
Speaker 4 (58:43):
His actions dictate that he could care less about anybody
else on the road, and wherever he has to go
is way more important than wherever you have to go.
Speaker 10 (58:50):
Yeah, those people understood.
Speaker 5 (58:54):
I'm just saying, I'm not gonna teach anybody a lesson
under those circumstances.
Speaker 10 (58:58):
He's not gonna go.
Speaker 5 (58:59):
You know what, that guy let me in.
Speaker 10 (59:01):
I should really re evaluate my because no one does.
Speaker 4 (59:05):
If nobody lets him in and he ends up smashing
his car into a guardrail, then maybe he learns a lesson.
Speaker 10 (59:10):
Well, because he is a douche.
Speaker 5 (59:12):
Had we been going fifty miles an hour, that would
have been a different situation. But literally we're going five
miles an hour. It's nuts to butts, you know, on
the expressway, and I'm like, go ahead, bro, the other
one that drives me crazy, I'm taking one. In my mind,
I'm taking one for the team.
Speaker 10 (59:28):
When people hop into the breakdown lane and they fly
past that to get to the exit faster when there's traffic, Yeah,
all those people, I'll just I'll put the nose of
my car into the breakdown lanes and be like, yeah, now,
what now what you dick head?
Speaker 5 (59:41):
So you're like actively trying to jam people up in
that system in that If you're gonna do that, absolutely yeah.
But my thing is that's just cathartic for you. That
makes you feel good, but it doesn't doesn't have anything,
it doesn't make you. I wish I didn't get mad.
I would love to be the person that you are
and say like, eh, whatever, it is, what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
It drives me crazy because if there's eighty five cars
in a line, what makes that one guy more important
than anybody else in that line?
Speaker 10 (01:00:08):
Understood that? And that's why I will not let people in.
Speaker 5 (01:00:11):
But no, people don't do People don't think that way.
People are like, I'm gonna go when I need to go,
and I'm because in my brain, I'm like, I'm sure
I've done that before, and so I don't believe in karma.
I'm just saying that, like you know, if you believe
in balancer, I'm like, I'm sure I've done that to
someone else before. I'll let this guy in it. And
(01:00:32):
it's always the same car too. If it was a
line of people trying to get in, then you got
to have a different situation. But it was very clear
no one was gonna let this guy in because of
what he did. Yeah, and my wife's riding shotgun. Obviously,
my son's a backseat. My daughter and she's like, do
not I go? He I go. It's fine, it's fine.
See I should wish I like you, I'm not changing
(01:00:55):
either of our lives by boxing this dude out.
Speaker 10 (01:01:00):
A lot of times they're like on their phone.
Speaker 5 (01:01:01):
I don't like that because then you're not paying attention
to anything, right, Like, bro, put your goddamn phone down,
all right and make the decisions.
Speaker 10 (01:01:09):
But yeah, yeah, it's just it's common courtesy. Man, it's
respect for your fellow person that no. I fully agree.
But a lot of people that does not resonate. Oh
I know, I know it.
Speaker 5 (01:01:21):
I wish everybody was like that. Did you see Shirley
Manson go off? Okay, listen. I don't know what happens.
I know that the business is very different. I know
artists feel like they're getting screwed left and right. Gen
(01:01:42):
X artists because they really did have a heyday. I
always think about artists coming up now. First of all,
you don't get into the arts because you're hoping to
get rich, right, I didn't get into this.
Speaker 16 (01:01:54):
They can.
Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
I'd ever make any money. I started in stand up.
Did not get into that because I thought I was
gonna get rich and famous. Didn't get it into this
because I thought I was going to get rich. So
the very good living I've made in this business, it's
all gravy. I never expected anything from anything. However, a
lot of these older bands, because they remember the days
when things were awesome now they get all crusty. Where
(01:02:18):
the kids who are coming up that still want to
be artists, they have different pathways, right, they have different
technology available to them. Make no mistake. If this technology
had been available to Gen X artists, we would have
used it too, of course. But Shirley Manson and Garbage
was They're on a farewell to her. Garbage was just
in Cleveland. They played the Agora. I was going to go,
(01:02:40):
but then something came up. I mean, it was the
night before Mike Polk's wedding. Actually, I tell you went
to Mike Polk's wedding rep.
Speaker 10 (01:02:45):
No, I didn't hear.
Speaker 5 (01:02:46):
I hang out Tim Disney and all the part event.
Speaker 10 (01:02:50):
Oh my god, it was the social event of the year.
Speaker 5 (01:02:52):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (01:02:52):
I didn't know anything about it AnyWho.
Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
I don't know if she went off on people at
the Agora. I know Shirley Manson has said it. It's
just not worth it for us to tour anymore other
than on the coasts she goes Financially, it doesn't make sense.
And I understand all that they were doing some show
at a This was a festival in Australia and there
was a beach ball going around and she flips out,
(01:03:18):
so obviously it's not about the guy. It's not about
beach balls whatever, right, But they're like old krusty artists now,
and I always hate to see that happen. These are
people of my generation and I love when people kind
of maintain a certain perspective throughout their career. These people
that were at some and it's an age old story
(01:03:40):
that idealism can turn into something else as you get older,
get a little bit more jaded. But I still hate
to see it. Yeah, somebody was she stopped the show
to go off, you know, I mean drop an F
bomb saying this guy's a tiny d like it's clearly
not about him or the beach ball she's unloading. This
(01:04:00):
is heavily edited, by the way I would I chopped
a lot of this up. I would tell you to
find it on YouTube.
Speaker 23 (01:04:05):
Can if you're big peacefall, I'm so scared of you,
so thrilled by you.
Speaker 8 (01:04:15):
What a bag.
Speaker 10 (01:04:17):
By the way, nobody is trying to instill fear in you.
Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
With a beach ball.
Speaker 10 (01:04:21):
I didn't think so. Yeah, okay, literally makes me.
Speaker 25 (01:04:26):
Want to bag people to go over there and punch
you in the Face's suspectful.
Speaker 7 (01:04:32):
I music is had enough.
Speaker 23 (01:04:35):
Tape Fortually, I'm fan of a five of place Forduce
spags like you, you're a middle last man and ridiculous hat.
Speaker 8 (01:04:44):
I literally want to ask people to push you in
the face.
Speaker 5 (01:04:48):
A lady, Yeah, listen, I know she's a Scottish lass
and uh you know she can throw down with the
best of them. But it's like, it's not an insult
to say you're a middle aged man. That's your crowd.
If your garbage hit in twenty twenty five, right, it's
a gen X band, you're a middle aged man. She's
(01:05:09):
he's got a tiny wiener and all this stuff. I'm like,
what is happening right now? This guy's like, no, everybody's
looking at him.
Speaker 10 (01:05:15):
Yeah, Now, I'm not a.
Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Beach ball guy to show either, But Holy Christ, shut
up and play stupid girl, right, beach Bulls beach.
Speaker 8 (01:05:26):
Balls is very good.
Speaker 5 (01:05:34):
The only thing that kind of sucks me a level is.
Speaker 20 (01:05:37):
That moose sneak.
Speaker 9 (01:05:39):
I'm like reding beech holes thousand Polisean, You're just.
Speaker 7 (01:05:45):
Like some msual who.
Speaker 8 (01:05:47):
Actually is important in this life.
Speaker 10 (01:05:50):
Here's the problem is going.
Speaker 5 (01:05:52):
The other guys in the band are like, we just
want to play, like butch Vig is sitting there behind
the drums like I'm not some grub man, you know, Like,
can we just get back to play?
Speaker 10 (01:06:02):
My friend Nicole's playing bass.
Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
If you watch, she steps out right, she steps out
of that whole shot right, She's like, Oh, I got
to get the hell out of here.
Speaker 10 (01:06:10):
Yeah, time to go. You go ahead have fun.
Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
By the way, it wasn't beach Ball Backlash one of
those franky Avalon movies from the sixties.
Speaker 10 (01:06:20):
Beach Ballash.
Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
Yeah, Paul Lynde is in it, right, was the guy
with the tiny ween or going beach Ball Blessing beach
Ball blessing?
Speaker 10 (01:06:30):
Each ball backlash?
Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
But Holy Christ, and I love Shirley Manson, I love garbage,
But when she throws everything against the wall right, So
we're tired of getting paid and it's like, no, I understand,
imagine kids that are getting going now. You guys did
really well for a while. That's why you didn't have
to tour for ten years. That's why this is such
(01:06:54):
a big deal because you all were well established artists
coming up now and getting seven cents per you know,
two thousand plays on Spotify.
Speaker 10 (01:07:06):
You already made money.
Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
Yeah, they toured and sold records and you know. So
same thing with Morrissey. Every time this guy gets up there,
he's just a crusty old git. I hate to see
these artists that I really enjoyed back and again I listen.
I know, people change. You know, I'm not as idealistic
as I once was, but I think that i've I've
really not gone as far in the other direction as
(01:07:32):
a lot of people do.
Speaker 10 (01:07:34):
She's very very vocal about the Palestine thing, so I
think that that's more.
Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
But where's But she's always going off on somebody to show,
but usually it's because like, hey, that guy's trying to
grab that girl like that kind of stuff. That's different
that I get. But getting mad because there's a beach ball.
It's disrespectful to the artists.
Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
Like you said, it's never the beach ball. It's never
the that event that was the working made snap.
Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
One in the audience.
Speaker 22 (01:08:02):
Man.
Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
Yeah, but according to you shouldn't do any you'd go
ahead with the beach ball, but don't talk. Yeah, no
fun at this game. Beach balls are silent.
Speaker 5 (01:08:15):
Now. If you got two talking beach balls, I don't
care for that at all. You see a beach ball
at the Sushi Roll show, you better be careful because
Jess is up there with a knitting needle. She will
pop that some bitch or a knife. A knife that's worse.
Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
Now pronounce you man, a knife noise So that full
Shirley Manson rant you can find it.
Speaker 10 (01:08:42):
Boy, I chop that up.
Speaker 5 (01:08:43):
But good for you. But holy cow, and again, I
like Shirley Manson. I like garbage back in the day. Boy,
she was like one of my rock and roll crushes
with Shirley man you know, but she's she's sixty years
old now, like I understand, But you guys really did
have a good run. You're you're not some up and
(01:09:04):
coming artist who's being disrespected at every turn.
Speaker 10 (01:09:08):
You're to be in an a hole who to wear
the bitch ball your Boston.
Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
You've made a powerfect enemy.
Speaker 10 (01:09:17):
Who do you think you had?
Speaker 8 (01:09:19):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (01:09:20):
What are you english?
Speaker 10 (01:09:23):
The Allen Cox Show.
Speaker 8 (01:09:25):
On one hundred points.
Speaker 13 (01:09:30):
Call the Allan Cox Show.
Speaker 10 (01:09:31):
Because he's my best friend.
Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
He's my pow, he's my home boy, my rotten soldier,
he's my sweet cheese, my good time boy.
Speaker 13 (01:09:38):
You want six five seven eight one double oh seven.
Speaker 10 (01:09:40):
Or one three four eight one double oh seven.
Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
Three five, and I'll show me a text. I'll see
it even if I don't respond. My Heart Radio app.
If you're one of our hones state listeners, let me
know where you are. Make sure that you're on our map.
Your Cavalier's not back on the floor until Friday night.
You got NBA Cup stuff going on until they go
(01:10:12):
to DC to play the Wizards on Friday night. That
is a seven o'clock tip off here in WMMS six
thirty pre games, when your coverage will begin. They will
be back here at home on Sunday. That's a three
point thirty start against the Charlotte Hornets, and then they
play the Bulls back to back next Wednesday, they'll play
them in Chicago they United Center, and then Friday the
(01:10:34):
nineteenth here at home. I will have those tickets for
you the remainder of the week Cavs tickets against the
Bulls for a week from Friday five ten. All this
week is when you can get those tickets. Texts about
people talking at shows? What about talking at stand up shows?
(01:10:54):
That is a particularly egregious situation when people talk at
stand up shows, because it's one thing if there's a
band playing music and people are raising their voice to
try to be heard by each other with the music.
When it's talking against talking, that's a whole other thing.
Rich in Northfield, Alan, I won Blackstone Cherry tickets from you,
(01:11:16):
and I'm going to the show tonight and I'm gonna.
Speaker 10 (01:11:19):
Yap my ass off.
Speaker 14 (01:11:22):
Rich.
Speaker 10 (01:11:23):
Well done, Rich, You shut your hormuth. Rich, You do
whatever you want at that show. Have fun.
Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
And if anybody knows fun me, yeah, well I'm captain
Fun because you are really fun.
Speaker 27 (01:11:38):
I'm not good. Afternoon, Allen and Rob. This is Ron
listening from Corning, New York. I have a joke for
you that I know especially Rob will appreciate. What is
the only diamond in the world not worth anything? Neil
diamond as the ankey time I cannot stand that stupid
Sweet Caroline song and every drunken Bostonian I think I'm
(01:12:03):
they're cool. It repulses me. But anyways, have a good day, guy.
Speaker 5 (01:12:09):
All right? Yeah, I mean, look Corning. You've been to
Corning in New York. I have It's it's in the
Pennsylvania border, right Corning up there, and yeah, I'm not
sure it's been ages, but I have been there. Yeah,
it's on the schamung River.
Speaker 10 (01:12:24):
Rob. I agree with him on the song. I don't
agree with him on Neil Diamond. I happened to like Neil.
I love Neil Diamond.
Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
Yeah, so, ron Uh, you can stay up there in Corning,
New York and walk into the shamung River with rocks
in your pockets. Damn too much? A little bit Alan
dancing isn't silent for me. I wear tap shoes when
I go see a show.
Speaker 10 (01:12:48):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
I had to explain, by the way, to my nine
year old that tap shoes are specific shoes. She thought
that tap dancers just wore regular shoes and just dropped
their feet harder, and I was like, that's a great thought,
but no, there's actual metal plates on the bottom that
really project the noise. My brother, my youngest brother. He
(01:13:11):
was a gymnast growing up, Junior Olympics and the whole bit.
He was a teacher for many, many years before he
got into his current line of work. But there was
a very short period of time where he took tap
lessons and I just remember that click click click of
you know, cause you got to support your sibling. And again,
(01:13:31):
he's five years younger than me. And this is when
he was younger, so I was very much in the
same way as I am now, Rob. Even back then,
I was only five years older than he was. Really, yeah,
oh it didn't change over time. Now we've been able
to really kind of maintain that distance.
Speaker 10 (01:13:48):
You would think the older you got, the more the
distance would be.
Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
That's what I thought. But it turns out I'm terrible
at math. Fascinating alan traffic. It blows my mind how
many people aren't familiar with the ZIPPEROD.
Speaker 17 (01:14:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
No, it's not that they're not familiar. They don't care.
Because somebody else said, you're actually supposed to drive as
far up as possible before merging because that's best for
the flow of traffic. Now I think that is true.
I don't think that's what this person was doing. I
don't think this person was some kind of civil engineer.
Where they were. You know, they were just going way
(01:14:23):
up there. It's like the people who pass you on
the left on the shoulder. Yeah, they go all the
way up on the left. Like, okay, bro, I guarantee
there's no place you have to get that's that important
right now. But I'm not honking. I'm not flipping somebody off. Fine,
(01:14:43):
if you can't manage your time and your distance, go ahead,
get in there, because you know what, in my mind, Rob,
I'm taking them off the board that way. They're not
going to cause problems for anyone else. I'm taking them
off the board. Go ahead, you get in front of me,
and I've done my good deed for the day.
Speaker 15 (01:15:06):
Now.
Speaker 5 (01:15:06):
If you know anything about me, I try to keep
my good deeds. I don't do one a day, so
people have their good deed of the day. I'm not
that prolific. If I get a few in a month,
I think I'm ahead. Alan, I'm purely pure cringe. I'm
embarrassed for Shirley Manson. Yeah, I think that was lame,
(01:15:31):
very very lame. Alan. They talked to the beach ball guy.
He detests Spotify, prides himself the fact that he's never
actually streamed their music.
Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Yeah, I think he owns every single one of their
albums and he's seen them like a hundred times.
Speaker 10 (01:15:45):
There's some story.
Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
Behind the guy, how he's like this old school fan
who's just this enormous Like he's enamored with Shirley Manson
in that band.
Speaker 5 (01:15:53):
Also, if you saw the footage in Australia, it looked
pretty sunny, and she is on record is only being
pleased when there's precipitation, right, isn't she known for that?
Speaker 10 (01:16:10):
She's only happy when it rains. If that's what you're
referring to. That's what.
Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
All I do is say it and Rob spikes it.
That's all I do.
Speaker 10 (01:16:19):
I just wait, I wait, yeah, see. I wanted you to.
I wanted you to think. Does he really not know
this song?
Speaker 14 (01:16:25):
He knows?
Speaker 10 (01:16:26):
He was making me wait for it?
Speaker 5 (01:16:31):
Alan, what's the Christmas song with the bus crash we
played the last week? Played the last week.
Speaker 10 (01:16:38):
Daddy didn't make it home.
Speaker 5 (01:16:41):
It's called an old fashioned Christmas Daddy's Home from Linda
Bennett right where the kids are singing and they're excited
at their dad's coming home, and then the radio cuts
in that has just been a a bus accident?
Speaker 8 (01:16:53):
Is right home, time's gone.
Speaker 7 (01:17:00):
Christmas with all the children.
Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
By the way, your mission, should you choose to accept it.
I'm talking to the handful of you who regularly submit
AI content to the show, and for is you should
rework this song to just make it fully twisted? Is
an AI version.
Speaker 10 (01:17:24):
Source material? Is already weird.
Speaker 28 (01:17:30):
Christmas for my children? The body and mel naked.
Speaker 8 (01:17:41):
Sir five, what.
Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
We'll starting to interrupt this program, but a bulletin has
just been handed me. There's been a serious accident involving
the number five bus out of New Haven. The early
information we have is that the bus skitted on a
patch of ice, slammed.
Speaker 29 (01:18:00):
Into a tree.
Speaker 10 (01:18:01):
Stay tuned to the station, look.
Speaker 8 (01:18:03):
Further the tables.
Speaker 5 (01:18:07):
Mommy, isn't that the bus anyway? Turns out spoiler, Dad's fine.
He has to ring the doorbell in his own home though, Yeah,
to get in. So a couple of continuity problems. But boy,
you could never hold Linda Bennett down.
Speaker 10 (01:18:25):
Mommy already changed the locks. Guys, Like, what the hell?
Speaker 5 (01:18:29):
Man, Hey, I'm not da He's putting his face in
the frost.
Speaker 10 (01:18:35):
Hello, kids, Jesus, where's the dog? Won't even look at
what the hell's going on?
Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
Here's that guy with his tongue down Jesus. Hello God,
I was gone for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 10 (01:18:48):
I just walked all the way here because the goddamn
other bus crashed. How's wrong with you? People?
Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
Ellen? Did a New Yorker really call you complaining about
somebody else being annoying? Well, they're in Corning, New York.
He just doesn't like Neil Diamond. That's where he and
I part company.
Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
Yeah again, I'm with him on Sweet Caroline. I think
that song sucks. But yeah, I mean I can't.
Speaker 10 (01:19:13):
I can't say nothing about Neil Diamond. I love Neil Diamond.
Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
Alan, Shirley Manson and Rob have pretty much the same
opinions on this because a beach ball is a party
decoration and the venue is her workplace.
Speaker 10 (01:19:29):
Wow, that is some top tier synthesis.
Speaker 7 (01:19:34):
You got me?
Speaker 10 (01:19:34):
Yeah, well done? Would surely no?
Speaker 8 (01:19:39):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (01:19:42):
How much did teenager Alan make fun of little baby
Alan's brother tap dancing face? I didn't.
Speaker 10 (01:19:48):
I support my siblings and you were too old? It
was like at that point, you're too old to make
fun of your siblings for alt right. Yeah he was eight.
I was thirteen, like you know is eight plus five.
Speaker 5 (01:19:57):
Thirteen eleven twelve thirteen. Yeah see, I was thirteen. I mean,
I have my own problems. It wasn't like I was
some you know, cock of the walk. Come on, man,
I got Brian wants in Brian. Yeah, boy, you want
to get some whiplash going from Linda Bennett to Brian.
Speaker 10 (01:20:16):
Now you're gonna know the song. It's a great song.
Speaker 7 (01:20:21):
Theurre ain't no good gush. There ain't no bad gush.
There's only you and me. We just disagree.
Speaker 10 (01:20:32):
Remember that song Dave Mason for everybody.
Speaker 5 (01:20:34):
Dave Mason from from Well, that was his big song.
I guess Dave what he was in traffic with Winwood. See,
Dave Mason was in traffic with Steve Winwood and then
when and then when Steve winn I don't know if
they were in the Spencer Davis band or what, but
Dave Mason went solo when Winwood.
Speaker 10 (01:20:55):
Let me think of the timeframe.
Speaker 5 (01:20:56):
Dave Mason went solo when Winwood went to Blind Faith.
I think that's what happened. They were in traffic and
then Dave Mason, had we just disagree. It's a great song.
By the way, I don't know what year, seventies, early seventies.
Speaker 10 (01:21:14):
Probably maybe, Yeah, let's have let's have a little bit sieving.
Speaker 7 (01:21:22):
There ain't no good we're cancy out bad Gosh, there's
only you and me. We just Didream.
Speaker 10 (01:21:41):
Seventy seven.
Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
Oh that late Oh, I thought it was early seventies.
Seventy seven. That was on the radio all the time
when I was a kid. Great song, yat rock. You
think that's the irack? Oh yeah, Dave Mason really much?
Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
So?
Speaker 10 (01:21:54):
Yeah, you don't think so, I don't.
Speaker 5 (01:21:57):
I guess I never thought about it anytime I hear
that song, you like, I feel.
Speaker 10 (01:22:01):
Like that absolutely belongs on a yacht rock collection, I guess.
Speaker 30 (01:22:04):
So, so let's leave it alone because we can't see
out the cartman versions, right, Yeah, in a way?
Speaker 10 (01:22:19):
Have you seen you in?
Speaker 8 (01:22:20):
Where are you being?
Speaker 15 (01:22:23):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (01:22:23):
They're not together anymore. I forgot.
Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
I was thinking. I was thinking that this was him
and his girl just fighting. But but they disagree on
what tore them apart.
Speaker 8 (01:22:38):
Right, since you've lost your.
Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
For me, either one of us is a bad guy
bad We just can't agree in anything.
Speaker 5 (01:22:54):
So they are together, they're not together. They aren't That's
how I always thought, right.
Speaker 10 (01:23:00):
But he says if you lost your feel from.
Speaker 7 (01:23:01):
That, there ain't no bad guys. There ain't no there
ain't no bad guys.
Speaker 10 (01:23:12):
And yeah, Brian c blocking you there in the middle
of that.
Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
I was all in on that song that I've tapping
my foot going in the tap shoes going over. That's right. Yeah,
it's tap shoe Tuesday.
Speaker 10 (01:23:27):
Jess.
Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
You guys should work in. We just disagree into your
pop heavy set. Oh yeah, when do you guys stop down?
Is there a ballad? There's got I mean, there's an
ebb and a flow to any kind of long set
like that. It can't all be what's like my octane
pop music? Yeah you do Kokomo?
Speaker 14 (01:23:46):
Yeah, now we don't know.
Speaker 7 (01:23:48):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:23:49):
Isn't that a crowd pleaser? Even if you hate the song?
Isn't that a crowd pleasing? I think it's all more
currents right, like you guys are doing all.
Speaker 16 (01:23:55):
I mean, we're all I was gonna go from bon
Jovi to Lady Gaga see her or bon Jovi might
as well be nineteen fifties.
Speaker 10 (01:24:02):
Cocomo isn't like a No Cocomo's minute.
Speaker 5 (01:24:05):
It'll be a fun one.
Speaker 10 (01:24:07):
So what do you think the oldest song that you
guys do is.
Speaker 16 (01:24:11):
See It's like I totally just black it all out.
You know, I'm not playing. I'd have to look at
a set list. I was gonna say, do you have
it taped to the stage or do you know it?
Speaker 22 (01:24:19):
Oh?
Speaker 14 (01:24:20):
I know it like the back of my hand. Dude,
we don't.
Speaker 16 (01:24:22):
We don't have like a strict set list, Like the
first three songs, four songs are always the same.
Speaker 10 (01:24:27):
And then who calls him out?
Speaker 14 (01:24:29):
The drummer?
Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
Okay, like and I just know does he have to
count you off or no? Nope, okay Mike.
Speaker 14 (01:24:35):
It's like he'll say certain things or I'll hear a
beat and I just know exactly what it is.
Speaker 10 (01:24:40):
Wow, Oh this is walk this way.
Speaker 5 (01:24:43):
Hell, let's do this one. Jeremiah has sent us a
metal version of Rob Hates Ducks.
Speaker 10 (01:24:49):
Oh boy, oh please, it's gonna be hard to beat
that first one.
Speaker 14 (01:25:00):
Oh I feel a pit boat.
Speaker 5 (01:25:02):
Yeah, the pity of your stomach already the original voice
of skin wrong.
Speaker 9 (01:25:18):
Here, ain't quack conta that sucking he robs, ain't quick
conte that sucks.
Speaker 8 (01:25:28):
He said, Yo, my neighbors got ducks.
Speaker 10 (01:25:34):
Wow, it's pretty good. Yeah, the music is terrific. I
just I'm so used to You're.
Speaker 9 (01:25:42):
No day, the one thing you got have enough. And
every time I see say be quacking nutstorm, every time
I leave, I hear the ducks go.
Speaker 5 (01:25:55):
Okay, hey, hey, Well I hear his quack quack quack
like a Donald duck and the.
Speaker 7 (01:26:01):
Quack season.
Speaker 8 (01:26:04):
Dunna dun dunk dunk, goose move dunk dunk.
Speaker 10 (01:26:18):
I mean that song is better than most things I
hear on a weekly basis.
Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
This is what I'm saying. Like, you could put Taylor
Momson or Lizzie Hale in there and they would destroy that.
Speaker 10 (01:26:29):
The song was clearly written the way that the lyrics
are for the rap version. Lyrics put him in.
Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
So it feels a little odd in a metal song,
but my god, the music is perfect.
Speaker 10 (01:26:43):
M do sushi roll do Margaritaville. You don't write? Didn't
we talk about that?
Speaker 14 (01:26:49):
Now we don't know?
Speaker 10 (01:26:50):
Thank godess Ellen, What is just wearing?
Speaker 5 (01:26:54):
She looks like the Express for Women Refugee Winter catalog. Well,
we've covered this. She's got an oversized scarf on.
Speaker 14 (01:27:01):
Yes, oh here, here's the bigger veil.
Speaker 8 (01:27:03):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
Yep, a scarf and then she's got the touke on
because it's cold. That I was gonna say, it's more
like a shawl than a scarf.
Speaker 14 (01:27:11):
Right now, it's a scarf.
Speaker 10 (01:27:12):
Oh it is. You bunch it up and wrap it her.
Oh so you can like really bundle it.
Speaker 5 (01:27:16):
It's one of those high scarves that you can get
around your neck so your head looks like a Sioux
flea when you're walking around.
Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
Yeah, okay, good. She's wearing the tuke that she has
pulled up so she can use her headphones. Yeah, that's
that's given the Like.
Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
I tried the bucket hat that I didn't get on camera.
I did it in a break Yestuay. I tried the
bucket hat that she got me. She brought us some
Sushiro merch. Yours is a ball cap. I was a
bucket head. I tried it yesterday, but with the sides
pushed up. Yeah, so I could wear the headphones. Oh
it was terrible.
Speaker 16 (01:27:44):
Look like a Robin Hoood not Yeah, Prince of Thieves hat. Like,
wearing a hat with these headphones is just not That's
what I mean.
Speaker 10 (01:27:52):
So it's just it's pushed up on top of your head.
Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
It's got like that Joe what's underneath this?
Speaker 4 (01:27:56):
It's got like the Joe peshy. Uh, that's what it
looks like. Yeah, it's got yeah, you know, like how
he wears the hat and home alone, his ears are up.
It's like, that's what it looks like right now.
Speaker 10 (01:28:07):
Yeah, Avenge seven Ducks is an absolute banger.
Speaker 5 (01:28:12):
Somebody said it is dug Well, there you go. Second verse,
same as the first. I saw Vene Sevenfold and Good
Charlotte are going on a tour.
Speaker 20 (01:28:33):
Hell is that?
Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
It doesn't that feel like someone was just like, Okay,
let's put every band in existence on dice and throw
them against the wall, and whoever comes up is who
the pairing is going to be.
Speaker 10 (01:28:45):
Yeah, it's very I mean Charlotte.
Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
I guess I kind of give them some credit for
trying to mix things up, because you know, people can
like more than one kind of thing, you know, so
maybe they're just trying to think outside the box. We
got Good Chart do an hour alter ego thing in LA,
and they're making a big deal about the fact that
it's like their first show in LA in ten years.
Speaker 10 (01:29:06):
I'm like, they live up the street.
Speaker 5 (01:29:07):
Why has it been a decade since they played, and
so maybe this is their you know, their their big
return to the road or whatever.
Speaker 10 (01:29:15):
But with Avenge Sevenfold, I guess just call it the
not with a gun in my mouth tour.
Speaker 5 (01:29:19):
I don't think it's coming here though, So if you
like those bands, you're gonna have to travel.
Speaker 10 (01:29:23):
It's probably Detroit, Toronto or something like that. Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5 (01:29:25):
I don't think it's coming here, but I saw that
they've made a big announcement Avenge Sevenfold PATROLO, Like that's weird.
I mean, I guess good for them, but I don't
care about either of those bands. But trying something different,
I guess Ellen Cark Show.
Speaker 11 (01:29:37):
On one hundred point.
Speaker 18 (01:29:39):
Seven, did you miss because we missed you? Well, not
Jerry from Willoughby, but the rest of you.
Speaker 10 (01:29:50):
Ellen Cark Show.
Speaker 29 (01:29:52):
On one seven Domma England Station, November's Hill. A panel
of pieda on the window sill with a circle cut out.
Speaker 8 (01:30:03):
Oh what a sight.
Speaker 29 (01:30:05):
The mystery grew in the fading line, snowflakes, fallen, whispers grow.
Speaker 7 (01:30:13):
What's behind that panel's glow? That's the glorious?
Speaker 8 (01:30:21):
What could it be a portal to joy or a mystery.
Speaker 5 (01:30:26):
We got the reminder email about this our iHeart Christmas
party tomorrow whichever year happens while we're on the air,
so we get over there for like the last thirty
minutes of it.
Speaker 10 (01:30:38):
They said there's gonna be a.
Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
Special iHeart Christmas Cosmo rock. Yeah, everyignature drink and heavy apps?
Is that heavy apps? Well, light apps would be like
canapees and a piece of cheese on a cracker or something.
So what's a heavy apply a more opulent spread, heavy apps,
(01:31:00):
heavy petting? I certainly hope. So, although I don't want
to have to fend off any of my co workers,
Will says.
Speaker 4 (01:31:09):
Heavy apps are substantial filling starters, rich in proteins, carbs
or fats, stuffed mushrooms, meat ball skewers.
Speaker 10 (01:31:18):
Or hardy dips.
Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
Oh you know what I like. Are like when you
put when you have like a little crock pot, so
you heat up some barbecue sauce in it, and then
you put little Smokey's in there. Oh you think that's
what they'll do. You think they'll have a giant crockpot
full of barbecue sauce and little.
Speaker 4 (01:31:31):
Smokies, tons of tiny wieners running around in there, but
I don't think they'll be there.
Speaker 10 (01:31:36):
You may knock pots until we show up, that's right.
Speaker 22 (01:31:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:31:40):
Uh, well, we told Jess that she should go.
Speaker 5 (01:31:42):
She's gonna go because that way we can introduce her
to people, right, we can go, hey, this is Jess,
and then she'll take advantage of heavy.
Speaker 4 (01:31:51):
Apps, Yes, heavy apps, and the you're gonna have the
Christmas Cosmo without the Cosmo?
Speaker 10 (01:31:57):
What would the Christmas cause?
Speaker 5 (01:31:59):
Cosmo? His?
Speaker 13 (01:32:00):
What?
Speaker 10 (01:32:00):
Triple sac and vodka? What's a Cosmopolitan?
Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
Right?
Speaker 10 (01:32:03):
Cranberry juice, cranberry juice, all kinds of crap in that.
Speaker 5 (01:32:07):
Just pretends like she doesn't know. I don't know, although
Cosmopolitan probably was never your go to.
Speaker 20 (01:32:14):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (01:32:17):
Okay, let's see Cosmo recipe.
Speaker 4 (01:32:22):
Citrus flavored vodka, coin troll fresh lime juice, cranberry juice.
Speaker 10 (01:32:29):
It sounds delay lime way.
Speaker 4 (01:32:31):
But now it's but it's a Christmas Cosmo, so it's
gonna have some stupid peppermint stick or something.
Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
Well, or maybe it'll have like pine yeah right, like
uh yeah, I don't mind that pine cone tape, pine cones,
pine cone now, but there's always like some kind of
herbal element, right, A lot of holiday drinks are very herbaceous.
Speaker 14 (01:32:51):
Rot.
Speaker 5 (01:32:51):
Let's see if they have a herb sample, Chris, Now,
should I tell that? Should I tell Keith hodgkis our
grand Pooba here at I Heart Cleveland. Should I te
him that there is a typo in his email signature?
Or should I just let it go there? I missed
it in our email signatures. It lets people know, Hey,
this company is known for radio and podcasts and streaming
(01:33:13):
and live events, all of which you're true. But his
signature says we're known for radio and podcats. Is it
in podcast? It does We're known for podcats. Now, it's
not the end of the world. I want to I
imagine he'd like to know that, And because I'm a
nice guy, I will tell him.
Speaker 10 (01:33:33):
I think we just did. Oh.
Speaker 5 (01:33:35):
I think he's probably busy. Oh no, no, he's listening.
Speaker 22 (01:33:38):
No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 10 (01:33:39):
I guarantee you he'll I'll get a text in a
few minutes. Okay for the letter.
Speaker 5 (01:33:42):
By the way, speaking of podcasts, you saw that this
is the inaugural year for the podcast category of the
Golden Globes. You know Nicky Glazer. Our friend Nicki Glazer
is going back to host the Golden Globes. She knocked
it out of the park. She had a hell of
a year this year, right did the Tom Brady Row,
even though she was quite accomplished by that time. That
(01:34:03):
put her on a lot of people's radars. And then
she hosted the Golden Globes after Ricky Gervais had said
no mo no mo or whoever did it before? Maybe Kimmel,
but Ricky Gervais was kind of the and Nicki Glazer
slips in and again kills it, and so they're having
her back the Golden Globes. For people who care about
award season, that's the Hollywood Foreign Press, so these are
(01:34:26):
journalists from around the world.
Speaker 10 (01:34:28):
There's a bit more of an international.
Speaker 5 (01:34:30):
Feel to the Golden Globes, whereas the Academy Awards the
Oscars are homegrown.
Speaker 10 (01:34:36):
The event of the world.
Speaker 5 (01:34:37):
This is the inaugural year for the podcasting category for
the Golden Globes. Now it's as simple as every celebrity
now has a microphone, and so every celebrity now has
a podcast, right, and the gold So it's not you're
not going to see some people you've never heard of
(01:34:58):
before being nominated for a Golden Globe. It's gonna be
the same people that you've heard of in because the
Golden Globes are not just film either, it's television and film,
you know, So it's all people who are already famous,
who have a microphone and a lot of time, and
so they have a podcast. Because I couldn't figure out,
(01:35:18):
I'm like, why is this a thing? I guess their
thought is, well, we're going to broaden the appeal ostensibly
of this awards ceremony, and this is a good way
to acknowledge people who might not be people you know,
but who might not be actively in films or television. So, boy, Rob,
(01:35:40):
before this was explained to me, you would not believe
how quickly I ran to see if the Alan Cox
Show had been gotten a Golden Globe nomination YEA for
a Best Podcast.
Speaker 10 (01:35:56):
I am embarrassed to tell you it did not.
Speaker 5 (01:36:01):
And I wrote the Hollywood Foreign Press their press person,
and I said, and I was curious, and they said who.
Speaker 4 (01:36:12):
I said, Okay, I'd love if they'd throw the wild
card in there, like you got. The nominees are Joe
Rogan for the Joe Rogan Experience SmartLess Intense Randy for
what grinds my gears. Yeah, yeah, I just want to
thank everybody who.
Speaker 5 (01:36:31):
Yeah, it'd be great. The Intense Randy podcast Intensity Intense
Cities is what it's called. Yes, perfect little nod to
Sweaty Teddy there Randy.
Speaker 16 (01:36:47):
No.
Speaker 5 (01:36:47):
But also you do bring up a good point here
because the nominations. Listen, if you're going to have really
popular podcasts, you have to have.
Speaker 10 (01:37:01):
Political podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:37:02):
But they're avoiding that, so they didn't have left or
right political podcast.
Speaker 13 (01:37:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:37:09):
One of the big ones on the left is called
Pod Save America. Yeah, obviously Joe Rogan, whoever. The other
in cells are Ben Shapiro and you know, so would
Joe not get nominated?
Speaker 10 (01:37:20):
No, these were like entertainment.
Speaker 5 (01:37:21):
So Dax Shepherd, he does one called Armchair Expert, which
has been on for a long time. Good Hang with
Amy Poehler, which is like five episodes in. I think
that's brand new. But again, she's a name. Yeah, just
care about the name. A woman named mel Robbins. Call
her daddy. That's Alex Cooper. I think even if you
don't know the name, it's a very popular podcast. SmartLess.
(01:37:43):
That's my first listen every week, that's Will Arnett. You
listen every week Love SmartLess. Yeah, Sean Hayes Bateman, Jason
Bateman is my spirit animal.
Speaker 10 (01:37:52):
And that dude with the greatest voice in the history
of time, Will Arnette, Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:37:55):
Yeah, he's been doing GMC voiceovers for twenty five years.
He's like that kept he's kept a steady income, whether
or not he was, you know, doing television movies.
Speaker 10 (01:38:06):
He's done everything. He did that Lego Batman movie, O
Jack Horseman. He's got a new film coming out that
they're already saying is Oscar bait?
Speaker 4 (01:38:14):
Well, they it looks like he's What the hell I
saw the preview for this thing on. Yeah, he plays
a stand up right.
Speaker 5 (01:38:19):
I'm and Laura Dern, a guy who's getting divorced and
he stumbles into stand up. It's based on this guide
England Nam John Bishop. But yeah, no, I think SmartLess
is dynamite. I literally, now that Maren's gone, I literally
listened to two podcasts, maybe three. I'll listen to David
from I'll listen to Conan, and I'll listen to SmartLess
like I wanted to listen to Fly on the Wall
(01:38:41):
with Spade and Carvey. But I kind of just again,
when I'm in the car, I don't necessarily want to
hear other people talk because I'm doing it for a living.
But but I love those guys anyway. So they avoided
politics altogether. But some of those are the biggest ones.
It's an old globes, so they want celebrity names. They
(01:39:06):
winnowed twenty five eligible programs down to six, and so
you know, again, it's probably gonna suck for Alex Cooper,
who does call her Daddy. It's a huge podcast, but
again not as well known as Amy Polar Deck Shepherd.
Speaker 10 (01:39:23):
But that may be why they give her the award.
Speaker 4 (01:39:25):
You think, Yes, they can be like, see, we didn't
just pick all right, she was our people.
Speaker 8 (01:39:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:39:33):
So, and again I can't imagine anybody who didn't get
nominated cares what is this going to do because it's
more fodder like right wing types, it's more fodder for them,
ugh libtard, Hollywood whatever, even though they all desperately want
to be part of the club. But yeah, I thought
that was funny. I was like, Okay, so there is
gonna be one person you've never heard of in this
(01:39:54):
thing because it's still a global telecast. They're not going
to have listen. I think the Intense Randy podcast should
be not Golden Globe. But I don't know how many
episodes there are. I don't even know if it's a thing.
(01:40:15):
I know Intense Randy was doing a thing a couple
of years ago. That was when I discovered that the
iHeartRadio app had no gatekeeping.
Speaker 10 (01:40:22):
Yeah, that's what made me think about it.
Speaker 5 (01:40:24):
Yeah, I didn't understand that at the time. I thought
that there was a process you had to go through.
I didn't realize, Oh, that's why we have four million
podcasts on there, because anybody can upload their crap.
Speaker 10 (01:40:35):
That's why we upload this crap because that's what we do.
Speaker 5 (01:40:43):
So the Golden Globe will have their inaugural podcast category. Now,
speaking of microphones, we've talked about this before. AI on
your radio, I heard from Teresa who was our one
bureau chief in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Speaker 10 (01:41:02):
You ever been to Cedar Rapids?
Speaker 20 (01:41:04):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (01:41:04):
You played the Cedar Rapids Yeah, multiple times. Remember that.
What's the name of the place, same place books you
or different places? Is Cedar Rapids a college town?
Speaker 16 (01:41:13):
I think Cedar Rapids We used to play Chrome Horse,
but that plays closed.
Speaker 5 (01:41:17):
Chromehores, Horses, strip Club, Chrome Whores. It's a biker bar
slash strip club.
Speaker 16 (01:41:24):
Welcome to the Stage one where they had a stripper
on the roof and then cage dancers and then people
running around in neon paint.
Speaker 14 (01:41:32):
It was insane.
Speaker 5 (01:41:33):
Oh, that's where they have the National Czech and Slovak Museum.
Rob That must be why there's so much traffic going
through Cedar Rapids.
Speaker 10 (01:41:40):
Makes sense.
Speaker 5 (01:41:42):
But I don't think that there's like a big school there.
There's co College, which they described as one of the
best small colleges in the country. Anyway, I mentioned this
because Teresa listens to us on iHeartRadio in Cedar Rapids
and she said, Hey, check this out, and she sends
me this story about a radio station in Cedar Rapids
(01:42:05):
that has an AI overnight shock.
Speaker 7 (01:42:08):
Did you see this?
Speaker 10 (01:42:09):
Yes, I love the headline.
Speaker 5 (01:42:11):
For two years, DJ Tory has ruled Rock ONEZ eight's
overnight shifts. But she's not real. First of all, nobody
rules the overnight shift, all right, nobody even there's no ratings.
I don't even think it's rated. It didn't used to
be overnights were never rated. That's where you'd put some
kid fresh out of college. You'd pay them nothing and
(01:42:31):
you put them on overnights. Right now, there are no
live overnight people. I mean, we do, we have cap Toni,
but we're a unicorn here at MMS. We're very very
much an outlier. And so you can bet your balls
that Cedar Rapids, Iowa ain't gonna have a live person
on overnights. But okay, DJ Tory, Now obviously you see
the photo, it becomes immediately apparent that is not a
(01:42:53):
real person. This is on her bio page. And I
also can't imagine that people care. The audience for an
overnight radio show in Cedar Rapids is probably in the hundreds.
There's probably nobody listening. You know, here in New York
or Chicago or Los Angeles, you can be on the
overnight program and you have more people than a morning
(01:43:14):
show in Cleveland would have, just because the population the listenership. Anyway,
KFMW is rock one oh eight in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
I'll just read this as written long after the station's
five staff jockeys have gone home. A DJ with a
(01:43:35):
nosering blue hair and full sleeve tattoos takes over the
mic to introduce hard rock tracks. One thing, though she's
not real. They're licensed out of suburban cedar rapids called
Hiawatha Iowa Inta AI.
Speaker 10 (01:43:53):
DJ.
Speaker 5 (01:43:53):
Tory became the first AI host at the station in
twenty twenty three. Program director Russ mottla, why does that
name sound familiar? Russ mottlaugh.
Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
He I think he's one of those dudes that's been
around and like he was tied up in some crap.
I think, Oh, doesn't it sound like like his name
was attached to something not good.
Speaker 10 (01:44:16):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 5 (01:44:17):
I just sound like he's a lot of these guys
that used to be like it with big broadcasting groups.
You know, over time you just end up in cedar
rapids Iowa. I don't know. You move around a lot,
but that names sounded really familiar to me anyway. And
also a lot of these guys are running like half
a dozen radio stations, he said, I've been to a
radio for thirty five years. You've got to take a
(01:44:37):
look at the technologies and integrate them into your program.
They've been upfront about Tory from the start. They refer
to her on air as Ai DJ Tory, so they're
not hiding anything. But again, it's overnights in Cedar Rapids.
The all male air staff has taken the liberty of
(01:44:59):
building a person for her. They feed her pre written
promos with help from chat GPT and I mean again,
you know these photos are going on their Facebook page.
But if they've been upfront about the fact that she's AI,
I guess I don't understand the point of having photos
(01:45:20):
of her, Like, here's a photo of a not real person.
Speaker 10 (01:45:25):
Think they're just trying to say you already know she's
not real, so here's what she looks like.
Speaker 5 (01:45:32):
Toy even made an in person quote appearance at an
event hosted by a local gun shop, so they became
an on air sponsor after hearing her on the air.
That would be a weird conversation, Hey we really, who's
DJ Tory? Well, she's not real, she's AI. Oh we
really like you know, you figure the guys at the
(01:45:52):
gunshop are like, oh, we'd like to buy airtime and
overnights because she sounds really hot.
Speaker 10 (01:45:55):
How do I get her here for an event? Yeah,
you don't.
Speaker 5 (01:45:59):
A generate image of her face was taped to a
mannequin at this appearance outfitted with buttons that visitors could
press to hear her speak and win prizes. That sounds
like a lot of work for very little payoff.
Speaker 10 (01:46:15):
This is why I hate this industry.
Speaker 5 (01:46:17):
This is what well, listen, I guess. My thought is,
if you're in cedar rapids, okay, you have nothing to
work with. You got to make the best of what
little you got. It's true of any market you're in. Obviously,
bigger markets like this one are going to have more resources.
Not so you'd really notice it, but I get what
they're doing. The appearance thing, that's wild. Hey, we have
(01:46:41):
a print out of the fake It's not like she
couldn't be there in person and they just put her
face on a mannequin.
Speaker 10 (01:46:48):
She doesn't exist. Here's some buttons and win some prizes.
Speaker 5 (01:46:54):
Mautlassa's tory was deliberately designed as a woman, a strategic
decision aimed at the station's law argely male audience. Well, no, doy, hey,
let's generate a hot chick and put her on the radio.
Oh good thinking. We have all guys on the air,
and I thought it would be a good balance to
have a woman, he said, brilliant, So if you don't
(01:47:16):
have a woman, you have a computer voice. It sounds
like a woman. You can't market an image of a
guy to guys as you can a woman. He says, well,
he's really pulling the.
Speaker 10 (01:47:27):
Crisis back again. I just love that he agreed to
be quoted along these lines.
Speaker 5 (01:47:33):
It's so self evident guys will respond to a visual
of a woman in a more positive way than they
will a man. Yeah, because imagine what the real life
guys on the air and at this Cedar Rapids rock
station look like.
Speaker 10 (01:47:47):
They don't look anything.
Speaker 5 (01:47:48):
That's the other funny thing is I guarantee you that
the difference is so extreme. It's not like she's some
college girl right that they threw on the air. That's
the way it used to be back in the day.
Fully AI generated. We get to put a good looking,
tatted up rock girl on our socials, and that's good
for the male audience we have. But if you know
(01:48:13):
she's not even if you're a guy in that audience,
you're like.
Speaker 10 (01:48:16):
Gay play more stained.
Speaker 5 (01:48:19):
If you know she's not real, Because what do they
used to say to female jocks back in the day,
Way back in the day. I remember when I would
work with single females or even married females. They would
tell them, hey, don't talk about your husband the guy.
It's pretty old school, but we've been doing this a
(01:48:41):
long time. They would say, we want the appearance of
you being available. That's good for the guys in our audience,
right if they think they have a shot with you,
not like you have to do anything or obviously, but
if you're on the air talking about your husband or
your boyfriend, that might not be the we're trying to convey.
(01:49:03):
I remember, you know single or married female colleagues of
mine on more than one occasion different radio stations. He'd
be like, yeah, just don't talk about your boyfriend. We
want this male audience. Because I worked at mostly rock stations,
we want this male audience too. You know, we want
you to have the perception to be that you're available. Well,
(01:49:26):
the AI jock rob is fully available. You can put
her face on a mannequin. They said that the first
year she sounded wonky and robotic. And see, this is
where I think the rubber meets the road. If you
don't have any authenticity with respect to the person, but
(01:49:46):
you better nail everything else. And they said she still
is a little weird, still mispronounces band names, still sounds
distinctly synthetic, and is nowhere near capable of filling in
free human host, which is precisely how this boss says.
He prefers it really is. I want to hear the
(01:50:10):
band names she mispronounces. I remember when I first got
to Pittsburgh and the night girl said Glove and Special Sauce.
Remember G Love and Special Sauce from Philly. You were
a Pennsylvania band. We were in Pittsburgh, but they were
in Philly, so they did a lot of regional shows.
G Love and Special Sauce is in ninety nine, two
thousand and she called him Glove and Special Sauce, and
(01:50:33):
I was like, Wow, here is we go, Speedwagon. I
really want to hear this.
Speaker 10 (01:50:40):
Oh well, did you hear the sample of her?
Speaker 5 (01:50:42):
We like when she makes mistakes because it highlights the
fact that she's a I what how do you want it?
You want to pretend she's real? Or are you're telling
you no? I haven't heard any of the audience.
Speaker 16 (01:50:52):
I love this.
Speaker 10 (01:50:52):
There's a sample on there? Oh is there on this story? Yeah?
Where one of the links? I think so?
Speaker 22 (01:50:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
Out radio station duped audience and secretly use an AI
host for six months.
Speaker 10 (01:51:05):
No, that was Australian. Did you send it to me?
I don't know that I sent that to you. I
got it this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:51:11):
I know I didn't send it to you. I just
saw what's her name, Teresa, and see the rapid.
Speaker 10 (01:51:16):
Send it to me? Where the hell did I see
it this morning?
Speaker 17 (01:51:18):
Then?
Speaker 10 (01:51:19):
I thought you sent it to me? No reason?
Speaker 4 (01:51:22):
Yeah, because I listened to it. There's in that article.
There's a link to It's terrible. She sounds it's horrible
DJ Torri. I don't know if there are no I
don't see any samples. Yeah, I gotta I'll find it anyways. Yeah,
it's it's trash. Well they describe it as it ain't perfect,
less than perfect.
Speaker 5 (01:51:43):
I just want it. I just want to hear the bands.
She's mispronouncing Rio Speedwagon.
Speaker 4 (01:51:49):
But it's so funny, like these are these are my peers, right,
like this guy, regardless of his market, These are the
people that I have to program with and against. Right,
So when people send these flattering emails about how great
the radio station sounds, and man, how do you come
up with something like that? I just don't have to
be that guy. Just be slightly better than uh, I
(01:52:12):
posted a picture of a hot hey eye chick because
it's good for my brand.
Speaker 10 (01:52:16):
Just be a little bit smarter than that, and you're golden.
That's it?
Speaker 4 (01:52:20):
Or I mean, yeah, I don't know. There's nothing to
what these guys. It's insane to me how mediocrity fuels
this business. Alan Sometimes it's easier to listen to something
if you know what they look like. See, I've always
thought the opposite. We still hear from people who have
no idea what we look like, and you don't have to.
We're all over YouTube and everything.
Speaker 5 (01:52:38):
I've been here almost sixteen years, so you're actively avoiding
what we look like.
Speaker 10 (01:52:43):
What was her name? DJ Tory, DJ toy Rock one
Away and see the rapids.
Speaker 7 (01:52:47):
Oh toys, it's me short circuit scream?
Speaker 5 (01:52:55):
Do they get her consent for people to touch her buttons?
People are asking, I got it, it's pretty wild. AnyWho
are you on IOE Public Radio site? Is that where
you got your link?
Speaker 7 (01:53:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (01:53:07):
Yeah, we poke fun at Guaranteed Human But like this
is what we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:53:11):
Yeah, but again, so so you want to point out
that you're not doing this, Like why even talk about it. Yeah,
that's what I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (01:53:18):
Like I understand trying to cut people off at the
pass by going yes, yes we know, but.
Speaker 7 (01:53:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:53:26):
But not talking about it's even better than bringing it up.
Why even give this person the time of day to
do something this stupid on the radio.
Speaker 5 (01:53:33):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (01:53:35):
It's so dumb.
Speaker 4 (01:53:37):
It was the same thing as that Ai Ashley nonsense.
At least that was a real person. They tried to
make an AI thing.
Speaker 10 (01:53:42):
Auto.
Speaker 5 (01:53:43):
Yeah, we used to have her here in Cleveland. It's
just she did nights at our Kiss station. Then they
went out to Portland and they were like, oh, it's
going to be her part time and AI part time.
Speaker 4 (01:53:51):
Why is radio having such a rough time? Why do
we I'll tell you why. You got guys like this
making the calls on what they do on their radio station?
Speaker 22 (01:53:59):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:53:59):
J Tory, she has Foxy though she is, she's beautiful foxy.
Speaker 10 (01:54:03):
Guess what not real?
Speaker 8 (01:54:05):
Right? All right?
Speaker 11 (01:54:06):
The Allen Cox Show on one hundred seven.
Speaker 13 (01:54:12):
DOUBLEMMS, Cleveland, an iHeartRadio station, call the Alan Cox Show.
Speaker 7 (01:54:20):
He's your microphone.
Speaker 10 (01:54:21):
So you think your power phone's smart?
Speaker 13 (01:54:25):
You're two seven eight one double oh seven or one
three four eighty one.
Speaker 10 (01:54:30):
Double oh seven.
Speaker 7 (01:54:41):
Three five.
Speaker 5 (01:54:42):
I want to send me a text. Listen on the
iHeart radio app. If you're from out of state, tell
me where you listen. People are still sending the number
of minutes to get that iHeart rewind at the end
of the year. You're from Lenny out and Mesa, Arizona.
If you need Alan Cox show stickers, by the way,
can always emailed me for those at alancocksha dot com.
(01:55:02):
Just sent another batch this morning. Debulousen's in Carlsbad, California.
Cole drives a FedEx truck in Juno, Alaska. Adams one
of our beer chiefs in Atlanta, Jordan's, and Saint Louis
David's up in Fondilac, Wisconsin.
Speaker 10 (01:55:19):
Or played fond Lac Jess.
Speaker 14 (01:55:21):
Nope, no.
Speaker 5 (01:55:26):
Fingers crossed. What is it called fond de Lac? Yeah,
my first Bosston Radio when I was interning for his
morning show in Chicago. He was from Fond de Lac, Wisconsin.
Where is that it's in Wisconsin? Yeah, it's northern Wisconsin.
Fond de Lac is up there on uh, the southern
(01:55:50):
most shore of Lake Winnebago. So you're about halfway between
Milwaukee and Green Bay. You're due east of Sheboygan. If
you know Wisconsin at all, I know you've traveled there
quite a bit and performed there or whatever. So big picture,
it's kind of like south east Ish, Okay. Any who,
(01:56:11):
now that I know where that place is, fine, last yes,
plan my vacation. About forty thousand people there, not far
from the Dells where my parents had their honeymoon, the
Wisconsin Dells because they had no money. Cavaliers not back
on the wood until dah Friday night doing that NBA Cups.
(01:56:35):
Are they involved in that NBA Cup? Suvers this other
teams play and didn't make it. Okay, So Cavs will
be back in DC on Friday night. That's a seven
o'clock tip against the Wizards. They are back here on
Sunday before they hit the road again. They're playing the
Bulls back to back in Chicago on Wednesday, a week
from Friday. They will be back here at home. I
(01:56:57):
will have those tickets where coming around five ten the
remainder of the week. Our last live show of the
year will be one week from today, so we will
have five more shows after today and then we will
ride off into the end of the year sunset rob As.
Speaker 10 (01:57:16):
I'm sorry, what would you say?
Speaker 5 (01:57:17):
It's no joke, man. By the time the end of
the year comes, we're fried, cooked, just cooked. So you
found audio of that AI overnight DJ in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa that we were talking about before the break, DJ Tory.
It's even worse than I thought it would sound. I
don't understand the value of this. There are so listen,
(01:57:41):
maybe ten to fifteen years ago, the audience of any
radio station had to get their heads around humans pre
recording their shifts from other places. Voice tracking. Now that's
just kind of an accepted part of the business. But
that I don't understand the value of this.
Speaker 10 (01:58:00):
There is none.
Speaker 4 (01:58:04):
That's why the fact that anybody's covering this and giving
this dude any shine whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (01:58:09):
Kills me, especially since it's been in place since twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 31 (01:58:13):
Right, uh, here we go and eight I'm Tory with
new music. That was My Only Angel by Aerosmith. Up next,
A Whole Lot of Rosie by ACDC is a wild
rock anthem. It's about bon Scott's encounter with a big,
bold woman named Rosie talk about a legendary backstage story
(01:58:37):
rock on Rock oneh eight, I'm tory with new music.
Speaker 5 (01:58:41):
That was my only Oh that's the clip.
Speaker 10 (01:58:43):
The clip.
Speaker 5 (01:58:44):
Listen, that's exactly what a kid in college radio sounds like. Right,
they don't have the moxie yet, they're not really comfortable yet.
I don't know why you don't just get a kid.
There are still, believe it or not, there are kids
in college who want to get into radio.
Speaker 10 (01:58:59):
Well, you don't have to pay this AI idiot. You
know you got to kick it, but you give the
kid minimum wage. I agree, Well, we should be doing
that here. We should be doing that everywhere.
Speaker 22 (01:59:09):
I know.
Speaker 4 (01:59:10):
I sat down with an executive in this company years
ago and I was like, where's the next you coming from?
Speaker 10 (01:59:16):
Where's the next me coming from?
Speaker 16 (01:59:18):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (01:59:18):
Well, we still have an overnight person in New York City.
And I said, dude, with all due respect, I've been
doing this for twenty five years. I shouldn't be doing
overnights in New York City. Like, what are you talking about?
If you want to build a farm, you build a farm.
Speaker 10 (01:59:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:59:33):
Listen, man, it's it's a company of people know how,
knowing how to record and how to do a podcast.
That's that's what is going to be left of this industry.
And when they try to crack a live mic, they
are going to crap their pants because it is a
completely different skill set.
Speaker 10 (01:59:49):
Yeah, when you realize that you're live.
Speaker 5 (01:59:51):
Yeah, because I've met people over the years, you know,
when podcasting kind of blew up, people go, you know,
what do you do? And it's always listen, It's always
a fun thing. And somebody asks what you do to say, well,
I do radio or you know, I tell people to
talk radio.
Speaker 20 (02:00:03):
I go what do you do?
Speaker 10 (02:00:04):
And they oh, I do radio too. I go, oh,
where what station are you on?
Speaker 5 (02:00:09):
Would be my question because when I first came to
now this hasn't happened for a long time because that
bright delineation line between podcasting and radio is so clear now.
But when it was kind of just on the come up,
I hadn't been here that long, and I was like, oh,
I didn't know the landscape. I'm not listening to the
radio stations. And they go, oh, no, I do a podcast,
and I go.
Speaker 10 (02:00:26):
Oh, it's not even close to the same thing.
Speaker 5 (02:00:28):
Well I'm like okay, I go and so I want
to know more about what they do, and I go, oh,
you want you do? And now my friend and I
talk about this kind of stuff and blah blah blah.
Oh okay, you know.
Speaker 10 (02:00:39):
An hour a week and I go, okay, well that's great.
Speaker 20 (02:00:42):
Man.
Speaker 4 (02:00:43):
See we make the joke often. But you know what,
we don't have that a person doing a podcast does have.
Speaker 10 (02:00:49):
Take two right, let's you know, let's stop there and
go back and record that over again. No, man, this
is it. Well, you screw up.
Speaker 5 (02:01:00):
Listen when we follow along with the script, Rob, this audience,
of course, will jump all over that and to discredit
the show. I understand the script. I'm trying to say,
we don't have a script. Get them off the scent,
page fifty three. By the way, I was on forty eight.
No wonder we were having a difficult because you ran
late in the last break. Alan. My sister missed a
(02:01:21):
common show in college because somebody told her that Come
On was performing right next up Panera. Yeah, well the
AI DJ Oh, that's terrible. By the way, I thought
that it was because AI has gotten markedly better, so
I thought that they were to the point. I mean,
(02:01:42):
if that's an improvement from where it was, yeah, it
sounds exactly like somebody who's uncomfortable on the air in college.
The only and that's where we all started, not in college,
but like being uncomfortable on the air.
Speaker 4 (02:01:57):
The only hats off I can give them at all
is that they're playing a whole lot of Rosie by
ac DC. That is a girlreat song. It's one of
my absolute favorite ACDC tunes. Yeah, so okay, there's a
little bit of light at the end of that tunnel.
Speaker 5 (02:02:13):
Even when I got into you know, our friend Bill
Squier was here with me for the better part of
a decade, and even he would tell you stand up
and radio are two completely different skill sets, of course,
and so like when I fell literally asked backwards into
radio from stand up, I was like, oh, I'll have
a leg up because I've been performing and it's still
completely different.
Speaker 4 (02:02:33):
My buddy owns a owns a bar and he doesn't
open mic comedy night once a week. And honestly, the
other night, I was sitting at home doing nothing and
I was thinking about it. I'm like, you know what,
I should just write five minutes and go see if
I can still do it. Because it's been so long
since I've done it. I'm like, maybe I'll go do
five minutes. See if I can do five minutes. But
then I'm like, if I bomb and I suck. There's
(02:02:56):
a lot more at stake now than there was before,
because before I didn't care. Now I'm on this show,
you know what I mean. I'm like, if I eat it.
Speaker 10 (02:03:03):
That's not good.
Speaker 20 (02:03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:03:05):
But again, they're two completely different skill sets. There were
people who loved Bill on this show could not lock
into his stand up and vice versa. Sure people would
be like I saw a Bill and he was so funny,
and then I listen to you guys, and he's this
and that I go. They are two completely different skill sets.
For sure, they are night and day. I just feel
like there's more at stake now. There's more like I'm
(02:03:27):
already doing this, Like usually you try and do things
to get somewhere else, Like if I did it, if
I did stand.
Speaker 10 (02:03:36):
Up again, that would just be for me one stand up.
There's no reason to do it.
Speaker 5 (02:03:39):
I mean, I haven't done it in a minute. It's
also one of those things you have to like get
up every night. You gotta do it otherwise you're just
a tourist.
Speaker 10 (02:03:47):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:03:48):
I mean so, you know, cause I was the first
few years in Cleveland, I was still doing it, but
I was like, I got it now, Like.
Speaker 10 (02:03:56):
To your point, like why it was just for me?
For anybody else, that's all this would be, and that's
no fun for the audience.
Speaker 4 (02:04:03):
So if I ever do it, it would be a
one off, like I would just I would get myself
a good three to five minutes and then go just
do it once and say I did it again.
Speaker 10 (02:04:12):
I could still do it, not tell anyone I was
doing it. Just go do it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:04:18):
Yeah, here's a text speaking of Sausage Fest Radio. One
of you guys are going to bring a lady back.
Speaker 10 (02:04:24):
To the show. Here, hold on, let me hit this
button right here. Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 22 (02:04:28):
She is.
Speaker 10 (02:04:30):
She's on the phone.
Speaker 5 (02:04:31):
Yeah, Jess is taking a call. That's got to make
her feel good. Oh listen, I I wish them nothing
but the best. But again, you want to talk about
low stakes, you're talking about overnight radio and cedar rapids Iowa. Yeah,
because anybody listening to that would know immediately that it
was not a real person, and they really wouldn't have
to tell people they wouldn't have to like pull the
(02:04:52):
curtain back and let them know.
Speaker 4 (02:04:53):
I wouldn't put it on anywhere though, Like Cedar Rapids
is still a big enough city that that shouldn't be on.
Speaker 10 (02:04:58):
You know what I mean? Like that to me is
just you've given up.
Speaker 4 (02:05:02):
You have no other options, You've given up, and you're like, eh, whatever,
this is it, this is what it is now.
Speaker 22 (02:05:08):
Mm hm.
Speaker 32 (02:05:10):
Intense Randy here, I can't believe you just listened to
one of my podcasts and you only probably listen to
a minute or two of it, not even that much.
Speaker 10 (02:05:21):
They got much.
Speaker 5 (02:05:22):
Better, and there's thirty of them out there, thirty of it.
Speaker 10 (02:05:25):
They got much better.
Speaker 5 (02:05:26):
It was called he curses, so he says, it was
called Randino and Butch talk Shrimp.
Speaker 10 (02:05:31):
Yeah, and now Butch is in jail for murder, so
he you know, and I just threw the grinds my cat.
I remember, I remember what it was called.
Speaker 5 (02:05:37):
The remember sending it to me well and again, Randy,
with respect. They were terrible and so but again it's
just people talking, right, that's fine.
Speaker 10 (02:05:49):
There are no steaks. There are stakes here. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:05:53):
So you know when people are like, oh I do
a thing, I'm like that's great. That no shade, that's awesome.
But they also when they write up his stories on podcasts,
they're like ninety percent of them never get more than
seven episodes because people go, oh, this is really hard,
or people think they're gonna get rich from them right
away or something I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:06:15):
And they also realize, after you do seven episodes, Jesus Christ,
there's fourteen hours of my life I'm never going to
have back. Like you're putting all this time into something
no one's listening to. That's why they disappear.
Speaker 5 (02:06:26):
Well, but it's like, if you want, there are some
television shows and movies where like the main person the
hip job for them to have as they're a podcaster.
Speaker 10 (02:06:36):
Yeah, and they walk into.
Speaker 5 (02:06:37):
These gleaming studios and it's like, you know the way
that they used to twenty five thirty years ago, the
way they used to depict radio shows, right, Yeah, in
this business, we'd all laugh. Whether it was like Gary
cole Do in Midnight Caller Talk Radio with Eric Bagozi
is one of my favorite movies of all times.
Speaker 10 (02:06:55):
Airheads.
Speaker 5 (02:06:56):
Yeah, and so you know Joe Dirt Jo, you know,
but that's like, oh, she's a podcaster and they live
in a mansion.
Speaker 10 (02:07:04):
In this whole thing.
Speaker 4 (02:07:04):
It's like, oh, okay, that's why I love you know,
the way they did private parts Howard Stern's movie right
like cause they they did make the effort.
Speaker 10 (02:07:13):
To make those studios kind of look real.
Speaker 5 (02:07:15):
Yeah. Really, I have somewhere in my that's a guy
who could tell you here's how you make a radio.
Speaker 4 (02:07:20):
Studio look right, somewhere in my storage of stuff, Like
everything's at my house, but the boxes and stuff I
never unpacked. I have a small cart machine that was
in that movie and it's labeled you do. It's labeled
from the from the studio. Oh that's awesome. Excuse me,
cart rack. It was just this little box spinner. Yeah,
and it just had so I don't know if it
(02:07:42):
even made camera, but it's labeled. It has the number
on it. I just thought it was cool. It was
that in one of those you know.
Speaker 5 (02:07:48):
Jess, somebody texted ask when I was going to bring
a lady back to the show. Now, maybe they didn't
mean female. Maybe they did hear you and they were like,
when are you going to bring a lady back in there?
Speaker 4 (02:07:57):
I think they meant that that they that They probably
just haven't even heard that we have a new person
on the show yet.
Speaker 10 (02:08:02):
That's what I think. Alan, I'm a bit behind in
the podcast.
Speaker 5 (02:08:05):
But as soon as the humer bought five thousand learns
the Friday finger Bang song, you guys are toast ha
ha don't I know it?
Speaker 4 (02:08:12):
Ha ha ha finger banger bang bang ha ha ha
ha don't want to work ha ha ha ha ha
bang on this drum bang my finger ha.
Speaker 22 (02:08:22):
Ha ha ha.
Speaker 10 (02:08:24):
That's right, Bryan, your thoughts.
Speaker 7 (02:08:26):
May I bother you for a cup of tea?
Speaker 10 (02:08:28):
That's not we're talking about. But okay, thank you.
Speaker 7 (02:08:36):
All right enough.
Speaker 5 (02:08:39):
The ellen Cock Show on one hundred points of.
Speaker 7 (02:08:46):
Best way to resist the machines.
Speaker 11 (02:08:50):
Dumb down your smartphone by listening to this craft. He
won't even remember how to tell time.
Speaker 10 (02:08:57):
The ellen Cock Show on one been dou w m m.
Speaker 22 (02:09:03):
Okay, all right, okay, all right, okay, okay, all right.
Oh wait.
Speaker 4 (02:09:16):
Freaks side around on wheelchairs motorized by electric motors make.
Speaker 22 (02:09:20):
My goblins in the factory, then my drywall and other
products that they.
Speaker 10 (02:09:25):
Can eat back at home on the sofa.
Speaker 8 (02:09:28):
That would excuse me.
Speaker 10 (02:09:31):
By a man named Chandler Ming who died in a
free hot.
Speaker 8 (02:09:34):
Tub an accident, and he spent his time drinking.
Speaker 22 (02:09:37):
And knock on favored water on a pular CD show
called Top Girls.
Speaker 8 (02:09:42):
They are Close Drugs Last nine Saturday.
Speaker 16 (02:09:52):
Job.
Speaker 25 (02:09:53):
All right, so a little that's my pilot error on
my point, because a handful of people have asked this
audience listens with a trained, trained ear.
Speaker 5 (02:10:06):
Brock is our bureau chief in Cumberland, Maryland. Alan, is
it nineties or a snubbleshot weekend coming up? I played
the wrong promo, No, it was I played the wrong promo.
It was Ai DJ Tory, the overnight girl from Hey listen,
if you want guaranteed human guess what that means? Mistakes right,
(02:10:28):
you got to take the rough with the smooth.
Speaker 10 (02:10:29):
That's right now.
Speaker 5 (02:10:30):
Sure she is saying Rio Speedwagon and the S word
if they're playing the sword, which they're probably not, but
who knows?
Speaker 10 (02:10:40):
They should be? Nineties weekend this coming weekend?
Speaker 8 (02:10:43):
Right?
Speaker 5 (02:10:44):
Yes, everything from the decade you may or may not remember.
I knew someone just doesn't remember the nineties. I knew
it barely barely. Can I show the video of you
on the ball? Yeah, okay, but you mms just Jess
is where you're gonna find just on social media. And
she and her band were doing some dates this past weekend.
(02:11:07):
So they were in Iowa, they were in Wisconsin, they
were in Michigan. Is this Grand Rapids? Yep? This was
the Twisted Bowl, the Twisted Bull. This is just singing,
say a horse, ride a cowboy, right, yep on the bowl.
(02:11:36):
Now I have to assume that they're not increasing the
speed while you're singing.
Speaker 17 (02:11:40):
No.
Speaker 7 (02:11:41):
I was like, make it go faster.
Speaker 14 (02:11:43):
Usually he makes it at the very very act.
Speaker 16 (02:11:45):
Yeah, he like overpil like overdrives it right until I
fall off, and.
Speaker 14 (02:11:50):
He's like, oh, I want you to break your microphone.
Speaker 5 (02:11:52):
We can get some core work on there too, if
you get going at a pretty good clip.
Speaker 8 (02:11:56):
All right, good.
Speaker 5 (02:11:57):
I didn't realize you were so scantily glad while you
were performing. Oh yeah, I guess. I don't know what
I thought you'd be.
Speaker 10 (02:12:03):
I don't know. Everybody dresses differently, right.
Speaker 5 (02:12:06):
A friend of mine in Saint Louis, she's on the
air there and she fronts a band, but she has
kind of more of like a rock chick Stevie Nicks
kind of thing. But obviously you're doing you're doing a
pop cover, it makes more sense to be in a
corset or whatever. Oh what I was wearing the next night, woo,
which was what? Uncomfortable? No, it just like pushed my
(02:12:27):
boobs up, pushed ma boobs up?
Speaker 13 (02:12:31):
Right.
Speaker 16 (02:12:32):
Someone asked me if they were real. I was like, yeah,
they're real. Like I have nothing, So I was like,
all right, but I guess like with my dancing too.
Someone asked me if I took dancing classes. I'm like,
never a day in my life.
Speaker 5 (02:12:48):
Well, I don't.
Speaker 16 (02:12:49):
I like to dance, Don't get me wrong. I love dancing, right,
but I don't think I'm good at it.
Speaker 10 (02:12:55):
Well, isn't part of it that you enjoy doing it?
Speaker 22 (02:12:59):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:12:59):
Yeah, right, and it doesn't require I'm sure it doesn't
require complicated choreography.
Speaker 14 (02:13:04):
No, not at all.
Speaker 10 (02:13:05):
Right, So if you're having a good time.
Speaker 14 (02:13:07):
Mine is not complicated at all. Mine is mike very
posey as well.
Speaker 16 (02:13:11):
But some songs I go, right, I dance more uh
huh all right, like uh guns n' roses, I throw
myself down on the stage at the very end.
Speaker 5 (02:13:22):
Well for what uh welcome to the jungle? Uh you
do my Michelle?
Speaker 10 (02:13:25):
What do you do?
Speaker 5 (02:13:26):
Sweechild of mine.
Speaker 16 (02:13:27):
Yep, sweet child, and then don't stop believing I do
a full like back.
Speaker 5 (02:13:32):
Bend in the one part a back bend.
Speaker 31 (02:13:35):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (02:13:35):
Yeah, Now how does that differ than speed rail? You
had to kind of be more agro probably with speed rail, right, yeah,
you and Corey rot expand.
Speaker 14 (02:13:44):
Oh god, me and Corey would be all over the place.
Speaker 5 (02:13:46):
That's what I mean. It was probably like the KK
downing the back and forth or the guitar next type thing. Right.
Speaker 16 (02:13:52):
I would always knock Corey's mike stand down. And then
there was one time we were oh accidentally, I was
drunk half the time. Ah, but we were playing in
this backyard one time and he had one of those
microphones with the I don't know, it's like an old
older microphone kind of thing, Okay, and I knocked it
(02:14:12):
down and the whole thing went into mud and he
had to pick it out.
Speaker 10 (02:14:16):
Oh god.
Speaker 16 (02:14:18):
Oh and I also spilled drinks on his side of
the stage. Oh man, I'm surprised you guys are still
on speaking terms.
Speaker 10 (02:14:24):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 23 (02:14:25):
Wow.
Speaker 16 (02:14:27):
Corey would get so mad at me, oh yeah, but
so nice about it. Well, he is nothing if not
nice and generous.
Speaker 5 (02:14:35):
Yeah, a guy died on a cruise because he kept
getting served, and now the family is suing the cruise line,
saying that it should be ruled a homicide. Silly, And
I'm like, bro, I mean, if you've ever been on
a cruise, it's not like the bartenders are all checking
(02:14:58):
with each other and all the different bars as to
how much you've had.
Speaker 10 (02:15:02):
Yeah, but you can tell if someone's mangled too, you
know what I mean, Like you can, but you don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:15:06):
This is a big guy. This like a Bert Kreischer
size guy. A guy named Michael Virgil who was thirty five.
Some people got video of him trying to kick some
doors in or something like that, standing in the hall
I'll show you the local news coverage here standing in
the hallway trying to kick some doors in.
Speaker 4 (02:15:24):
Was reportedly drunk and unruly on a Royal Caribbean cruise
ship has died. Fox Levan Tayley Winslow, who broke this
story originally is live for us.
Speaker 22 (02:15:33):
Now.
Speaker 10 (02:15:33):
Dudes had to like restrain the guy on the boat.
He's got his back.
Speaker 5 (02:15:37):
You know, these hallways and these cruises are pretty narrow,
and so he's standing there.
Speaker 10 (02:15:42):
He's just got his shorts.
Speaker 5 (02:15:43):
On and nothing else, you know, And people showed up,
people who work on the cruise, and they're like, bro,
you got to calm down. Caught on camera amid a
meltdown on the navigator of the seas A big guy, right,
he was with his fiance on the cruise. So not
a guy in great shape, but a young guy thirty five.
(02:16:04):
He was served thirty three drinks of Jesus. Now, I
don't know how they even came to that number.
Speaker 10 (02:16:10):
Well, you probably keep. They probably keep.
Speaker 4 (02:16:11):
There's no cash exchanged, so they probably just keep track
of everything you orders. Oh gotcha? Yeah the wristbander, Yeah gotcha.
Speaker 5 (02:16:18):
So the video some other people were taking, he was
trying to knock down somebody else's door, is ripping off
his clothes. A fellow passenger said that Virgil had threatened
to kill him during the rampage. So a big dude
who clearly couldn't handle his high and now his family
because they're grieving, but everybody wants somebody to blame, and
so they said that the that he died because the
(02:16:40):
ship staff had to inject him with a sedative just
to get the guy to calm the f down. So
they get security they get the ship doctor and they
sedate the guy after he had had thirty three drinks,
and the family says it should be ruled a homicide.
Royal Caribbean was completely negligent. I got to tell you.
(02:17:02):
For people who were like, why is it so expensive
to go on a cruise because they're always getting sued
for something, always getting sued. I don't know how cruse
companies stay in business. Between the Poop Cruise documentary on Netflix,
just when they probably hoped people had forgotten about that
(02:17:24):
Poop Cruise documentary, somebody made a joke about it on
SNL or something like that, and as I'm watching him, like,
oh Jesus, they're flipping out because people had just forgotten
about the poop Cruse. And again, it was many years ago,
but it's not like it's unprecedented that. You know, if
you're not sick by the time you get on a cruise,
you're going to be sick by the time you get
off because you're just in a confined space. This guy
(02:17:48):
was vacationing with his fiance and their seven year old
son when he suddenly died. So they get on the
cruise and discover that their room wasn't ready yet, so
they point them to one of the restaurant bars and
the guy starts drinking. The girl took their little son
(02:18:13):
had autism, so the girl the fiance takes the kid
to go to the room, check the status or whatever,
leaves big man at the bar and he starts to
get lit up, and they said that he ended up
with thirty three drinks in them, and so the family
is suing, saying, look, they could have cut him off.
Speaker 10 (02:18:33):
They didn't.
Speaker 5 (02:18:34):
They absolutely could have, but also like, yeah, you could have,
but I wouldn't say. You gotta kind of monitor yourself.
Speaker 22 (02:18:44):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (02:18:45):
There's no homicide charge, but there is. I bet you
there's a wrongful death settlement. You can't serve somebody thirty
three drinks, you just can't.
Speaker 5 (02:18:54):
That's wild. The family is suing saying that the alleged
use of force on him made it hard for him
to breathe. Oh ironic, uh, and that he was injected
with a sedative. They also use quote multiple cans of
pepper spray on him, So it took a lot to
get this bowl down and he eventually had a heart
attack that caused his death. So the whole thing is sad.
(02:19:17):
But I was like, Jesus Christ. I think a lot
of big dudes think that they can handle way more
than they can. And I'm like, I just don't know
how you end up thirty five and don't know how
much you can drink. Yeah, so many people that just
something bad happens. I go, how do you not know
if you can handle your high or not? I know
(02:19:40):
there's little variables. Not every situation is the same, but
you've got a pretty good idea, but so you should there.
Speaker 4 (02:19:48):
Should be some kind of fail safe thing too that
like if you start sneaking up on that stuff and
you're acting the way you're acting, You're like, there should
be some sort of a all right, this guy's at
twenty drinks.
Speaker 10 (02:20:01):
Maybe we should monitor what he's doing at this point. Yeah,
you can't.
Speaker 4 (02:20:05):
You can't rely on people to police themselves because they're
not going to, especially on a cruise.
Speaker 10 (02:20:11):
Everything's free man, right.
Speaker 5 (02:20:14):
Uh Brock in Cumberland, Maryland there, Uh hit Yeah, Well
he wanted to know Snubbleshot of nineties and he's like
radio stations in our area. He goes, there's a lot
of AI. He goes, they change their names, but they're
not real people. One night, they're playing three eleven and
then DJ said.
Speaker 13 (02:20:31):
Three to one one.
Speaker 10 (02:20:32):

the minutes accumulated in the wrap. Is that iHeart Radio
app being specific or like the Spotify count.

No, well, I guess yeah, but I'm just people are
sending me the rewind that iHeart gives you and use
the app, so all of the numbers. I've been rattling
off for people who've been listening on our app.

of the funniest things I've heard has been from you
in the last year. You've got quick little throwaway grenades.

Were you?
Speaker 3 (02:23:22):
You never really talked about it.
Speaker 4 (02:23:24):
Yeah, it's really it was. It was a very very
short period of time. They had a comedy club in Springfield, Massachusetts,
and they hired me as a radio guy to do it.
And the more I did it, the longer I could go,
you know, I could do. I started with a couple
of minutes and I would just kind of introduce everything
I was hosting, and then I got to a point
where I could do fifteen minutes and I would feature
and that was about it. I never I never went,
(02:23:45):
you know, crazy with it, but yeah, I mean it
was a little bit of everything. I mean, I would
dick with the crowd. I would just sort of have
fun and an extension of what I was doing on
the radio.
Speaker 10 (02:23:54):
You know, well, white guys, this's like this, A black guy,
it's like that. That's exactly. That was one of my
biggest jokes.
Speaker 4 (02:24:05):

worked in some of those type of observational jokes.
Speaker 10 (02:24:14):

Speaker 10 (02:24:48):
This was well passed, well passed, not well a year
maybe I don't know. It was nine to thirteen, two
thousand and one, and it was like I was making
nine eleven jokes.
Speaker 4 (02:24:57):
I was making jokes about the things that were happening
at the time, the thrack scares and the things like that.
Like I was just I was doing a lot of
that type of stuff because that's what was happening in
the world.

Speaker 5 (02:25:27):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:25:29):
You mentioned Neil Diamond earlier. I jumped in the car
after work and then Forever Ago a couple of weeks back.
Songs that make you immediately think about a movie. My
favorite Neil Diamond song is Brother Loves Traveling Show because
and it immediately makes me think of that terrible David's
(02:25:49):
babe movie Lost and Found.
Speaker 5 (02:25:52):
Lost in David Spade, I remember eight Heads a double Bag.
I don't remember Lost and Found though, brother loves traveling
self show. Wow, this is my jam, Dude, I love
this song.
Speaker 10 (02:26:04):
This is fantastic. Lost and Found nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (02:26:08):
All right, thank you, coreyaver saw that movie.
Speaker 5 (02:26:13):
Found this French actor same, Sophie Marceau. They were really
trying to make her something in the States nineteen ninety nine,
David Spade and Soshi mars Martin sheen Artie Lang was
a critical and commercial failure.
Speaker 10 (02:26:27):
Well that's a bummer.
Speaker 5 (02:26:30):
He kidnaps his French neighbor's dog and pretends to help her.
Speaker 10 (02:26:35):
Look, oh boy, okay, well there you go. I remember
my mom playing this too.
Speaker 5 (02:26:45):
Oh yeah, man, oh good?
Speaker 10 (02:26:48):
All right, well, well I do not remember Lost and Found.
Speaker 5 (02:26:53):
I know it costs thirty million to make and it
made six Coach Jesus Roger Ebert said it only had
one funny scene and that was a thing with John Lovetts.
Speaker 4 (02:27:05):
Okay, well, John Lovits could make anything funny, though, so
it doesn't surprise me that that's his scene that made.
Speaker 10 (02:27:09):
The movie funny.
Speaker 5 (02:27:10):
Yeah, he was in full on Jay Sherman, Am I right,
it's stinks.
Speaker 10 (02:27:18):
The Allen Cox Show on.
Speaker 11 (02:27:21):
One hundred seven.
Speaker 31 (02:27:25):
Call the Allan Cox show boy named Ellen Cox and
my show sucks.
Speaker 13 (02:27:32):
Two one six seven eight one double O seven or
one eight three four eight one double O seven.
Speaker 7 (02:27:40):
I love that guy.
Speaker 33 (02:27:44):
So good.
Speaker 10 (02:27:47):
Three five sent me a text you want speaking of
so good?
Speaker 29 (02:27:52):
Who is this?
Speaker 10 (02:27:54):
Tony McAlpine?
Speaker 5 (02:27:55):
Wow, one of my favorite back in the eighties, right
when all the guys just doing instrumental shredder albums.
Speaker 10 (02:28:02):
Virtuoso guys. Yeah, Tony McAlpine, I got another one of
his like that.
Speaker 5 (02:28:07):
Yeah. He did a handful of albums in the eighties.
My favorite one is called Maximum Security. He had George
Lynch of Docin on a couple of tracks. He did
a one off with some other guys, which to this
day is one of I always hesitate to call something
(02:28:28):
a guilty pleasure because you like what you like, but
it was very much of the time. The lyrics are
just cringe worthy to the max, but the music is great.
There was a one off album in the eighties called
Project Driver, and the band was called Mars. They just
went by the acronym and it was the last initials
of the guys in it. It was Tony McAlpine, it
was Tommy Aldrich from White Snake and Black Oak Arkansas
(02:28:52):
and all that. The singer was a guy named Robert
Rock who had kind of just made the rounds in
kind of metal bands. And then Rudy Sarzo from Quiet Riot.
There's a quartet. They did a one off album called
Project Driver, probably eighty five eighty six, and he was
just a bunch of goofy songs. But I loved it.
Speaker 10 (02:29:11):
I just googled him. I didn't still listen to it.
Speaker 5 (02:29:13):
Tony Calpine went off to be because you know, all
these metal shredders are like Virtuoso's. Yeah, he does like
jazz fusion bands. Now, I think the Black Dude.
Speaker 7 (02:29:21):
Yes, wow.
Speaker 5 (02:29:22):
One of the wild handful of black metal guitar players
there was remember John Butcher, not metal, but there was
a guy named John Butcher who was a black guitarist.
And it's funny when people talk about the dearth of
black guitarists because you're like, well, Jimmy Hendricks, sure, you know,
but but more modern day, you know.
Speaker 10 (02:29:41):
Obviously, Vernon Red but Vernon reed. Okay, there was a
guy named John.
Speaker 5 (02:29:48):
There was a band called the John Butcher Axis Axis
and he was very and I assume that Axis came
from an homage to Hendrix, but he was very kind
of phill Linnett, phill Linnet from finn Lizzie. He's black, yep.
But I remember the John Butcher Axis. I saw them.
(02:30:09):
They were from Philly. But I know back in the
day they got played on BCN, which is a Boston
radio station. Oh yeah, so they kind of blew it
first in Boston. But I saw the John Butcher Axis
open for I know they opened for Kiss, but I
didn't see them. I saw them with the Jay Giles
band in like the Freeze Frame era. You know my
(02:30:31):
thing on them, man, I love that band Jay Giles. Yeah, yeah,
we saw him over for Seeger here years ago at
the it was still the que Second Row, me and
my wife and Chris Tyler at Seger and the Jay Giles.
Speaker 10 (02:30:47):
He must have been out of his in his element
with Jay Giles too.
Speaker 5 (02:30:51):
Anyway, John Butcher is a guy. I don't know if
the guy is still around. I don't know how many
people remember him. But that's another guy. I think over
they talk about black guitar players, but Tony mccalpine, even
though I was a drummer, I didn't play the guitar,
but I had a lot of friends who did, and
I was fully into that eighties shredder era. So I
loved Ingvey, Molmstein. I love Vinnie Moore. Anybody remember Vinnie Moore.
(02:31:15):
He had an album called Mine's Eye that was awesome
because my thing was all these great guitar player instrumental
records had amazing drummers. So Tony McAlpine had this, Joe
sat Tranni had this guy Nam Jonathan Moover, who was awesome.
Tony mccalpine had great you know, so I loved him.
Were you a Satrianni guy too? I was, I mean
(02:31:35):
to a lesser degree, but I think by the time
Surfing with the Alien came out, I was kind of
getting over it. Yeah, but I loved the early Ingvey
and Tony McAlpine all those guys.
Speaker 10 (02:31:50):
Yeah, I love Yeh Ingvey. I mean that that dude
was like he was setting and raising the bar of
his own stuff constantly.
Speaker 12 (02:31:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:32:01):
I heard a lot of people bartender Appreciation Day on
on Friday. People who are local bartenders because I played
the one eight hundred bartend commercial.
Speaker 10 (02:32:12):
Yeah bartender, what you learn.
Speaker 34 (02:32:14):
In school, bland icy and buzzy navs on the beach,
trying to make all the tricks.
Speaker 22 (02:32:28):
Have fun and meet people bartending at your favorite bars.
Speaker 10 (02:32:30):
Hey, have fun bartending at your favorite bars. That's a
great tongue with a great profess.
Speaker 5 (02:32:34):
The hell was a red snapper? I mean, I know
it in the I mean as slang for female genitalia.
I didn't know as a drink.
Speaker 4 (02:32:42):
And also that's when you order a snapper in a restaurant,
you're getting a fish hoole like you get the yeah
red snapper, they're serving.
Speaker 10 (02:32:48):
You a hole. I got that in the Bahamas. It's delicious.
Speaker 5 (02:32:52):
They literally went out that we were in this like
shanty restaurant. They literally go out the back, stick a
pole over the dock, and whether they pull out, they
throw in the pan and bring it out to you.
I'm eating fish eyes, yummy, yummy. A red snapper is
a bloody mary made with gin. Is set a vodka. Okay,
all right, maybe I'm a red snapper fan.
Speaker 4 (02:33:12):
I bet you it tastes probably almost the exact same
because you're tasting so much of the Bloody Mary mix anyway,
they're not really tasting the vodka in it.
Speaker 5 (02:33:22):
They should update that Bartender ad though for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 10 (02:33:27):
Hey, bar Kidder, what you learn in school? Yeah, it
was an art history major.
Speaker 4 (02:33:34):
I've got one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars in college loans.
Speaker 10 (02:33:38):
Uh, Now what could I get you?
Speaker 15 (02:33:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:33:40):
I don't think there's Bartending College anymore. I bet, yeah,
we called it, didn't we It's still there? I mean
the number is, but is it still Bartending College?
Speaker 17 (02:33:48):
Sure it is.
Speaker 5 (02:33:49):
That was my first joke when I was interning on
this morning show in Chicago. That's the first time I
made everybody laugh is when they were asked asking me
what school I was interning for, and I said the
American Bartender College, and it just came out of left field,
and I was just goofing around. But god, they fell out.
Speaker 10 (02:34:10):
Well, I got to tell you what.
Speaker 4 (02:34:12):
See, that also says a lot about you, because that
takes a lot of balls to throw a joke at
him when they're asking a question like that, like they're
putting on the air, they're at you know, like most
people like I would have been freaked out and just
at the school I went to.
Speaker 5 (02:34:22):
Yeah, but I already knew I was kind of funny.
I mean, what I didn't want to do was be
like check me out, you know what I mean. I
don't want to be that guy. So he just asked
a very simple question, and I said, I go to
the American Bartender College. And so that became a running
joke that all the other interns at these radio stations
(02:34:43):
we had two of them am in FM, and all
the other interns were going to like Columbia College or
Loyal or other Chicago schools, and they would refer to
me as the intern from the American Bartender College.
Speaker 10 (02:34:57):
Where do you go?
Speaker 8 (02:34:57):
I go to?
Speaker 10 (02:34:58):
What's the matter?
Speaker 8 (02:34:58):
You there?
Speaker 15 (02:35:00):
You go?
Speaker 20 (02:35:03):
I'll know?
Speaker 5 (02:35:03):
Forgot about Prince Oh. You can't forget we were talking
about we we did a whole thing on Prince last week.
Can't forget about Prince.
Speaker 10 (02:35:09):
Oh with virtuosos.
Speaker 5 (02:35:11):
Yeah, just amazing like black guitar players, Yeah, John Butcher, her.
Speaker 10 (02:35:19):
Is great. She's black, as the pronoun implies.
Speaker 4 (02:35:24):
That's also about where it ends, though, like she's you
won't put her on that same list, like she just
happens to be black.
Speaker 10 (02:35:29):
And plays guitar. But she's not just good though. Yeah,
but she's not like that type of good.
Speaker 4 (02:35:34):
She's good, she's fine, but yeah she's not like you
wouldn't put her in the same conversation.
Speaker 10 (02:35:38):
I guess I haven't seen that much of her. I
just saw her.
Speaker 5 (02:35:42):
Yeah, I saw her play and I was like, oh boy,
black guitarists, but a guy A lot of blues guys.
I'm thinking about rock guys though. I mean Slash Slash
is black. Well, he's mixed, right, mixed, but yeah, his
mom is black, I think, And that term is gone right.
(02:36:02):
What's that?
Speaker 10 (02:36:02):
That term for mixed is gone right? Like you don't
that mixed? No, the what we used to say for it.
Speaker 5 (02:36:08):
Biracial before that, people don't say that anything. I don't
think you're supposed to know. I think that's one that
went away. I think mixed is yeah. Blind Lemon Jefferson.
Now here's the funny thing about that guy. He was blind,
not a Lemon Richie Havens by the way, just to
(02:36:30):
show you how much he doesn't want to be himself.
When I google great African American guitarists, they include Steven Segal. Right,
he has faked his ethnic heritage for so long, they
don't know where to put the guy.
Speaker 10 (02:36:45):
Oh, Chuck Berry, got to mention Chuck Berry.
Speaker 5 (02:36:49):
Yes, he is also known for a lot of people
only know Chuck Berry from the toilet cameras and Hooker's farting,
farting in Hooker's faces.
Speaker 4 (02:36:59):
The best that was, that's one of the greatest, the
hardest my brother maybe has ever made me laugh in
my entire life, is when he visited here for my
daughter's graduation and we all went to the Rock Hall
together and they had that whole chuck Berry area. You know,
they got, like, I don't know, a pretty good selection
of Chuck Berry memorabilia and stuff. And my brother we
(02:37:22):
were turning the corner and he goes, is this where
we get to the video section? And I just I
just lost it because he did the impression of like
pulling his legs back.
Speaker 10 (02:37:33):
Kiss it.
Speaker 5 (02:37:35):
If you've never seen the video, and it's on YouTube,
if you've never seen the video of Chuck Berry, who
was as depraved as he was talented. You know, when
you've got a lot of money and you're famous, people
will let you do anything.
Speaker 13 (02:37:50):
And he was.
Speaker 4 (02:37:52):
He hired a hooker, right, Yeah, fart in her face. Well,
he did a lot of things, but the fart kind
of just happened. I'm trying to find if I can
find it.
Speaker 5 (02:38:03):
Yeah, he did a lot of things. Because the things
that he says to her after, oh my god, they're
just unconscionable. But my brother just kept saying all of
the things from he was quoting the train video, and
it was just it was at the Chuck Berry display, Funny,
(02:38:24):
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 22 (02:38:26):
It was.
Speaker 10 (02:38:26):
It was just perfect. It was one of the funniest
things I've ever Milatrene that.
Speaker 4 (02:38:32):
Because he peas on her too, and then she goes
to give him a kiss and he goes, uh, on,
no way, I can't kiss you.
Speaker 10 (02:38:39):
Your face smells like piss, right.
Speaker 5 (02:38:42):
My latrine, Chuck Berry, Jesus, I mean, Wendy, you separate
the art from the artists. Hey, Chuck, it's your cousin,
Marvin Barry back to the future looking for listen to this.
(02:39:03):
I wonder if that's part of his Wikipedia page controversies.
Charged with assaulting a woman in nineteen eighty seven. She
required five stitches. He knocked out two teas. He was
sued by several women in nineteen ninety, he claimed he
get installed a video camera in the bathroom of his restaurant.
He said, well, I'm just looking for people stealing, and
(02:39:26):
he settled out of court with those women and they.
Speaker 10 (02:39:28):
Were stealing from inside my toilets.
Speaker 5 (02:39:32):
His lawyer said he'd been the victim of a conspiracy
to profit from his wealth. Police raid on his house
found intimate videotapes of women without their knowledge, sixty two
grams of marijuana. Ah yeah, Chuck berry boy, this guy
was a piece of work.
Speaker 10 (02:39:52):
It's one of the It is one of the funniest
things I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm the
pride of Saint Louis, Missouri. So forget about what he
did with the guitars. Yeah, oh boy.
Speaker 5 (02:40:11):
Hey our after hours line now everybody leaves us messages.
On the iHeartRadio app. You can drop voicemails for us
two one six, nine eighty nine three.
Speaker 15 (02:40:20):
You were talking the other day about Willie Nelson or yesterday?
Speaker 6 (02:40:23):
Was it?
Speaker 15 (02:40:24):
When I was a kid, my stepdad looked like a
mountain man, long hair, long beard, And then in the
late eighties when Willie cut his hair and trimmed his beard,
my Stepdad said good enough for Willy, good enough for me,
and he did the same thing, and like you, I'm
a long hair guy, but I looked at it with
(02:40:45):
short hair, and I'm at the point now where I'm
about to cut it, and I thought, you know what,
Alan Cox.
Speaker 20 (02:40:52):
Will be my Willie. So we're going to walk around.
Speaker 15 (02:40:56):
Looking like somebody's aunt Donna and be called ma'am from
the before we turn around and uh, solidarity, brother.
Speaker 5 (02:41:06):
Now do I have bad news for you? Bro?
Speaker 10 (02:41:09):
I think I made the decision this morning to trim
my hair. Are you gonna I think I have a
what do you mean, awe like hair?
Speaker 15 (02:41:17):
Well?
Speaker 22 (02:41:17):
I do.
Speaker 5 (02:41:17):
I'm not chopping it off. I'm not gonna make it short.
But it's I have two choices, right, I mean I
I can either keep growing it, and I'm like, what whatever,
You'll just keep growing. I'm long past the point of
being able to do anything with it, right, and I
prefer to do something with it. So I got a
point with my girl, and we're gonna look at some
stuff and figure out what we can do. But I
(02:41:39):
I don't think I'm gonna keep just growing it. So
I don't know the time my ass will you go
back to short. No, no, no, no, no, it won't
be short.
Speaker 15 (02:41:48):
No.
Speaker 10 (02:41:48):
But it's like, you know, again, my my hair is
so you'll do something with it.
Speaker 5 (02:41:51):
I tuck it all the time because it's just it's
it's got really nothing to do with it being gray.
It's just my hair is like stick straight. Yeah, and
so when I grow it, it just grows down. There's
nothing to it. And so it's like, you know, so yeah,
solidarity brother. I mean, I'm not gonna no, I'm not
going to cut it short like it was, but you know,
(02:42:15):
I don't need it out of my ass. I'm not
going to go whatever. So when we come back on
the fifth new look, allen. My my appointment is the
morning of New Year's Eve. Oh, we'll see, we'll see.
We talk to my girl.
Speaker 10 (02:42:28):
What do you do on New Year's You going out?
Speaker 17 (02:42:30):
No?
Speaker 10 (02:42:30):
No, uh huh. I like going out on New Years,
but it really is amateur night. Oh yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (02:42:34):
And it's we haven't gone out in a number of
years now. We like kick it with the kid and
you know, I mean I wouldn't be opposed to going
out on New Year's Eve, but it's first couple of
times first couple of years we were in Cleveland, we
went on on New Year's even It was very disappointing. Yeah,
and it's so expensive. You know, all these places they
want to cash in on New Year's Eve, which I
(02:42:55):
fully understand. I mean when I was working Fine dining
one hundred years ago, you know, if you took off
New Year's Eve or didn't show up, you got fired.
It was the biggest night. It was the busiest night
of the year. So as a waiter New Year's Eve night,
you know, I'd go home with seven hundred and fifty
dollars in my pocket.
Speaker 10 (02:43:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (02:43:15):
But I didn't have a free New Year's Eve from
the time I was sixteen until the time I was
like twenty three years old. So the first New Year's
Eve I ever had free because I wasn't waiting tables anymore,
I was like, oh my god, what do I do
with myself?
Speaker 10 (02:43:28):
New Year's Eve has always been for me.
Speaker 4 (02:43:30):
It's just we make a bunch of food, appetizers and
things like that and watch the Twilight Zone. Yeah that
makes sense, man, just chill and I watched the twilight
Zone marathon for like three days.
Speaker 10 (02:43:39):
Yeah, that's it. Twilight Zone right. We have friends that
do that. I love it, man. They're like, oh, we
got the Twilight Zone Marathon. It's my favorite thing I've seen.
Speaker 4 (02:43:48):
And it's amazing to me that I've done this for
probably twenty years, maybe more, probably more. Uh, And there's
still episodes that come on that I haven't seen and
I'm like, how is that possible?
Speaker 7 (02:43:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:44:00):
But every year, man, I scheduled things around when I
know my favorites are going to be on. You forgot
about Gary Clark Junior. Sorry guys, Oh dude, Yeah, he's
from Austin, Texas. He'll be here soon, right, he's Austin.

of Midnight.
Speaker 5 (02:44:20):

black girl named Diamond Roe and she is unbelievable. She's
frigging bunkers. Check her out too. God Forbid is a
great black metal band. Yeah, Gary Clark Junior from Austin, Texas, Dynamite.

When I was down there in August, I was like, God,
I hope Gary Clark Junior is in town.

remember you saying it, and I was like, oh god,
I would leave the second he was done. Yeah, right
with respect. Uh I'm taking off.
Speaker 10 (02:46:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:46:33):
Well, it's like somebody was like, oh I saw Even
Sevenfold when Sullivan King opened for them. I'm like, Sullivan
King is awesome. I would have absolutely left after that. Yeah,
and uh, let even Sevenfold do their thing.
Speaker 10 (02:46:45):
But now you can go and you roll the dice
of which show is going to be worse?
Speaker 14 (02:46:49):
Is you got?
Speaker 5 (02:46:49):
Is Avenge Sevenfold or Good Charlotte. Well, I still have
to think that they will have an opener.
Speaker 10 (02:46:56):
I think they were a good Charlotte would be the opener. Right, well,
I think they probably call line. Do you think so?
Speaker 5 (02:47:01):

Speaker 10 (02:47:02):
I mean they're billing the toures of Ben Sevenfold and good.

am imagine that, because why not take a third baby
band out with you. Here's lifestyles of the rich and famous?
