Speaker 10 (00:44):
It's the Allen Cox Show on one hundred point seven
double you m m ass?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
All right? What's going on? Everybody? For everybody? As the
kids say, welcome to this. My name's Alan Cox, thanks
for being here. Rob Anthony is here as well. What's
up man? You know we've both been performers for many,
many years, Rob, and yet there is always something a
little wonky about the beginning of a program. You know,

(01:26):
back in my stand up days, you know, you walk
out and if you're lucky or you're walking out to
some applause they would afford any performer, but you're kind
of getting that immediate feedback. And in my transition many
years ago from stand up to radio, it's a very
different thing, obviously, because you don't hear people. You hope
that they're paying attention, but you don't know. And so

(01:46):
if you were to google how to greet an audience,
it will say things like a great way to begin
is good afternoon, and welcome. I'm excited to speak to
you about whatever right fill in the blank. That might
be a great standard way to begin the show every day. Hey,
good afternoon, I'm excited to speak to you about the

(02:10):
following X. Yeah, that's right. You know you want a
classic and professional greeting. Contrary to popular belief, Rob, I
am very professional. If you meet me in public, I'm
unfailingly polite. But also you know I'm the kind of
guy Rob. If I'm wearing my best trench coat on

(02:31):
the street and it's quite rainy, I will take it
right off, throw it down over a puddle so a
lady young or old can walk across it there right now.
They'll still get their feet wet, and I land up
with a wet coat. Yes, but it's really performative and
I think that's what people like. That's what people like.
It's the personification of the phrase. It's the thought that counts.

(02:54):
And so sure, am I walking around with wet coats
all the time, Yes, but that's my choice. I ended
up with a wet passenger seat in my rental car
because my backpack went over and I didn't realize that
my water bottle was not closed all the way. Whoops.
And I mean no big deals water. But when I,
you know, got homes like, why is the seed wet?

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Because I thought that maybe I had had a ghost
riding shotgun and they peed all over the car. Rob
Have you that was a legitimate thought, that I had
ghost pee ghost pee? Yeah, but it wasn't that. Have
you heard back from your insurance company. I thought we
talked about this yesterday.

Speaker 11 (03:32):
Well, you said that there was an amount. You didn't
know the car was going to be totaled insurance. It
sounds like insurance is going to do it, just gonna
fix it. Yeah, I paid by the deductable.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
They're gonna fix it. Great. I got the thing on
the APP last night and they were like if you
see this, it means that they accepted it. I'm like, okay,
well fantastic. So I the plan is to keep my car,
and people who know way more about this than me
were all relatively inconsensus, going they're probably gonna total that out,
and I was like, I understand, but I hope they
don't because I can really get more life out of

(04:01):
this car. And you know, my rental car is a
toy ont A Corolla, right, small car.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Point.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I mean, it's like driving a toy around. Tiny, it's zippy,
it's fine, it's very nice. I shouldn't say very nice.
It's fine. It's a rental car. It's whatever point A
to point B. And again, I'm not a car guy,
and so I was kind of surprised how attached I
felt to my car, right, I mean, I know, part
of it is habit, and I'm nothing. It's not a

(04:26):
creature of habit. I think we all are in certain ways.
But I was like, boy, I really would miss my car,
which sounds silly. Well, you've had it for what fifteen years?
Ten years? Years? Yeah, right, but still I'm hoping to
get a couple more years out of it. But yeah,
it sounds like I might even have it back before
we leave for Thanksgiving next week. Really, so yeah, it
was talking. They do great work. I took it over

(04:48):
to AutoNation in Westlake and they have been very I've
taken my car over there for other things before and
they have been great all the way through. Oh that's awesome, man,
So I I think that's what's happening.

Speaker 12 (05:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I've been getting text notifications and I told me to
go on the State Farm app and whatever. I went
on there and they go, well, here's the thing. The
guy called me and said, here's the quote. We're going
to submit the insurance and then they take it from
there and they got a thing in the app and
they go pay your deductible and pay the rest. I go, okay,
that's fantastic. So that's the outcome you want to get.
That's what I wanted. Yes, now, I could get the

(05:23):
car back and the thing could explode when I but
I don't think that that's I'm like, I bet I
could so get another year, two years out of this car. So,
you know, because I had all these people texted me yesterday.
One guy's like, bro, I have a god. What did
he say? He had like an O to something that
had four hundred and ninety three thousand miles on it.
And I'm like Jesus Christ, like I that's not even aspirational, right,

(05:47):
I would just as soon get a newer car before
that happens. Right, However, Wow, and you hear those kinds
of stories, you know, like guy with a pickup truck
who's got tons of miles on it. Whatever, I'm not
looking to do that. But there's still there's still a
little bit of life left in this old girl to
begin with. Well, good news, man, I'm happy.

Speaker 13 (06:10):
Alan.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
The code isn't the only thing that gets wet. She
then has to walk through a puddle of her own
glistening secretions. Why do you have to make it so
lascivious and dirty?

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Why?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Why can I should just take the when Josh have
some fun with I did hear a lot of people too?
We were talking about Live Nation. Of course, the promotional
Live Event company did this massive survey and determined that
more people, by pretty why margin would rather go to

(06:42):
concerts than have sex. And I really our audience texting
me yesterday really kind of confirmed that in a variety
of different ways. Allan concerts last a lot longer than
I do. Concerts are dope. We need to do like
the United Kingdom did an outlaw all that third party
upgrade stuff. Boy, that's true too. You go in to

(07:04):
buy a ticket for a show that went on sale
like five minutes earlier, and it's one hundred and sixty
four dollars a ticket. Mike from Parmaseead and just like sex,
Alan comes for the opener. He listen, if anybody knows
me that guy Alan, it depends on the show. I
can hook up with my wife anytime. A lot of

(07:25):
bands don't come through Cleveland very regularly. Well, it's got
to make you feel good. If you're that guy's wife,
I know it's ec DC. Yeah, she might feel the
same way. Yeah, she's like, yeah, that's my vibrator. So
it'll be fine. No, no, you go and have a
good time. It'll be fine. I'll just be back here.
Have fun. Yep, not needing you at all. It'll be fine.

(07:46):
Why fun in ac DC, I can't hear you? All right,
you get it? Check youlater Een Carr show on one hundred.

Speaker 10 (07:59):
If you yourself breathless with constant laughter, congratulations, Now could
you tell.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Oz what show you're listening to. It sounds fun. This
is the Alan Cox shows.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Two one, six, five, seven, eight one double oh seven.
You want to join us live? Or eight hundred and
three four eight one double oh seven send me attacks
three five one nine two you want Alan put me
down for concerts? Over sex? Boy, I gotta tell you
all the people who texted me on that particular subject.
There wasn't one person. You figured the law of averages,

(08:46):
uh is gonna have one person?

Speaker 6 (08:48):
Go?

Speaker 2 (08:49):
What are these people talking about? Sex? Always? I think
maybe a lot of these people are married and they're like, listen,
I can do that anytime I want. Most concerts are awesome,
even when the sound set up is kind of off.
This person texted me a big, long text, very specific reasons, right,
which I like. More detail the better.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Too.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Many women out there are absolutely ignorant under the sheets.
Christ Well, now it sounds like they're dealing with maybe
some you know, they're doing some shadow work in their therapy.
I don't know. Ignorant, yes, right, hey, listen, what do
they say? What did lua say? He wants a lady

(09:28):
in the street, but a non ignorant hoe in the bed.
Oh right, sorry, that's paraphrasing. Or they're shy, this person says,
and have self esteem issues. Well doesn't everybody. I mean,
is it your job, by the way, to make them
feel comfortable? I mean, to some degree, right, you're supposed
to make them feel h You're supposed to give them

(09:51):
kind of a modicum of safety if you're in that situation.
Or they have no interest in oral sex. This person says,
so they're really they're picking their own stuff that they're
contending with. Yeah, the ironic part is that I'm always
looking for a hookup when I go to shows. This
person says, Okay, so they're always on the prowl. But boy, ladies,
you better have a whole bunch of boxes checked if

(10:13):
you run into this person at a show. Hey, hey, hey,
you want to come hang out after the show?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, why not? That sounds like fine? Hey, hey, you
want to come back to my place after the show?

Speaker 12 (10:30):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Do you want to come back to my place after
the show? I'm starting to show. Do you want to
come back to my place after the show?

Speaker 10 (10:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I can't you in bed? I'm saying, self esteem issues?
Self esteem? No, this isn't the offspring. How do you
feel about oral sex. I can't hear you, sir? Would you, sir?
Would you like to come home with me after the show? Show,
let's wash all this faygo off of us and then
get up. Well, maybe we'll start in the couch. I'd

(11:02):
love a FAYO. No, no, no, would you like to
come home? Are you ignorant? Under the sheets? Am I ignorant?

Speaker 14 (11:07):
Where?

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Ah? You get it?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh? You get it? Alan? You always talk about how
you are a massive newborn. A family friend just had
a nine pound, eleven ounce baby twenty one inches long.
I don't know how many inches long I was. I
know how many inches.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Long I am.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
But Ellencox show on all of your most popular social
media platforms. Curious how this compares to you. I was
thirteen pounds when I was born. I don't know how
many inches I was. I'm not sure about that, but
I was. I've told the story many times because I
couldn't be prouder. But I don't know if the record stands.

(11:52):
I did hold the record at one point for the
largest baby boy ever born at Kenner Army Hospital in
Fort Lee, Virginia. It is has been renamed. I have
to assume that maybe in much in the same way
that Trump is going to burn all these Epstein files
you watch. I have to think that maybe upon renaming

(12:12):
the hospital they did a full sweep of any paper
records and probably burned those pertaining to me. I don't know.
I know my mom has my birth certificate somewhere, at
least I hope rob, because that's what I need in
hard copy formed prove that I'm alive. Maybe just go
to city Hall if you need to, or buy a mirror.

Speaker 12 (12:31):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Oh yeah, I was thirteen pounds. Now, we all come
from big stock. I think my sister was like nine something,
and she was the lightest of the four of us.
So my mom was you know, I had to be
airlifted out of my mom. But Alan, I usually have
sex at concerts. How do you like that? Congratulations?

Speaker 15 (12:57):
Alan.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Any guy said he'd rather go to a concert than
have sex, he's crazy and a liar. I wouldn't jump
so quick to that conclusion. There's a lot of people,
I think, on either side, if you're talking about heterosexual,
well not even heterosexual. There's men and women. There's probably
a lot of people who would rather go to a
show than have sex. There's just more to it, you
know what I mean. It's like a fun little survey question.

(13:17):
It's a little more complicated than that, as is true
for most things. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (13:24):
I can't say that I'd rather go to a concert.
I love live music. I love going to a concert.
But I mean, how is Wolfy? How was Mammos last night?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Excellent? Yeah, so the band that Wolfy van Halen in
here on Monday because he was in town early, and
then mammothon Miles Kennedy did the Agora last night, so
they had to pack it out. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
I know. I Pad Butler went to Yeah, I was
with him and Corey for a bit o cool. The
openers are a band called Returned to Dust. We're playing
oh the single here? Yeah yeah.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
The drummer is London Slash's kid. Okay, so that's kind
of a baby sort.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Of but not really like you don't know, I mean
unless you know that, you know what I mean, Like
they don't talk about that, right, Well, you're not Kana.
You want you know, you want to at least pretend
to be getting there on your own merits.

Speaker 11 (14:08):
These dudes, I gotta be honest with you, man, I
was beyond impressed and how good they were.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
I like the song.

Speaker 11 (14:15):
I mean, it's a good, straight ahead rock and roll song.
They they clearly modeled everything after Alice in Chains.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (14:22):
They the key that they play in the way that
they harmonize the guitar player you would. You would love
because it is such a throwback to the nineties. This
kid's probably one hundred and ten pounds, soaking wet, wearing
Jenco jeans, with a chain on his on his on
his belt right to his wallet, head down the entire time,

(14:44):
with hair just hanging in front of him and just shredding.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
London Emilio Hudson. I'll tell you what, if you are
a gen xer or thereabouts and you are very nostalgic
for the age of grunge, everything old is new again.
It's not just fashion, it's music too. There isn't entire
new wave of kids in grunge bands. There's like this
new current grunge wave of bands, right, and a lot

(15:09):
of them are good. And so if you just like
that sound and that vibe, there's a lot of bands
like that to look into you. This band was great.
I mean, this kid stood in front of a gigantic
mesa boogie stack and just shredded the entire time they
were on. I know they went out with seven Dust
a while back, but I don't think I knew that
was Slash's kid. Yeah, and he that kid plays man,

(15:31):
he hits hard. I mean, he's.

Speaker 11 (15:34):
They were I really really enjoyed them. And then Miles
Kennedy was great as always. M hmm, I mean never,
I mean I've never seen the guy not put on
a killer performance, right, and then yeah, man, Mammoth just
cleaned house.

Speaker 7 (15:46):
Dude.

Speaker 11 (15:46):
He I was talking to the manager before the show
and he said, Wolf, he wants these shows to feel
like arena shows. That's like he's buying these things and
he's putting money into the into the setup to give
that vibe. So that he bought this check screen en, Dude,
it looked so insane. You you forgot that you were

(16:07):
at the Agora. Now When he said screens. When he
was in here, I assumed he met like giant mosquito tents,
was I tho?

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, yeah, it was nice. The Agora gets buggy, so
that's why I thought it was weird. Well, it was
to catch the beer cans like in Hyeah. Chicken wire
the same thing, just they like they think it's a
little you can see through it a little bit better
if it's the netting.

Speaker 11 (16:26):
But it was excellent show. It's just fantastic. And I
and I I I would have rather gone home and
had sex. I'm just saying, like, if you gave me
the two options, right, m h. I didn't say with it, who,
I just said I'd rather.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Do that slap slap slapping sounds no, man. See, I
always I hate going out, and then when I go out,
I have a great time. So it was awesome. I
had a ball. It's a great show with my buddy
Jason and Met Corey. And so if you know that's
going to be the case, you know, why get all
worked up about it if you know you're gonna go
out and oh.

Speaker 11 (17:06):
Part of my mentalness, Yeah, okay, I understand. Yeah, I'd
love to just be like, oh, I can't wait to
go out tonight. This is gonna be so much fun,
right I don't I've never said that.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, we're both we both decided to skip the holiday
happy hour tonight. Yeah I'm out.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, they're doing this little invite thing over it. When
they do this holiday pop up bar. They're the foundation.
Remember the House of Blues And we went last year
and had a couple of pops and it's fun, it's nice,
it's all, you know. And we were going to go
and I think each one of us was like, am
I going, Yeah, I'm just I was like, I you
mentioned it to me and You're like, yeh, I don't
think I'm gonna go tonight. And I was like, oh,

(17:41):
thank god, because I was going to just tell you
on the air that I wasn't going because I just
I can't two nights in a row, A and B
two nights in a row. That's my favorite part. I can't.
I can't go out two nights in a row. I'm sorry.
There are seven days in the week, Rob, What is
there today? What is the frequency with which you gonna
go out the most? Could you do every other day?

Speaker 10 (18:03):
No?

Speaker 2 (18:04):
So you're like, you're like a band that has to
have like a weekend off. Like The Stones, They're like
they're not doing every other night right right. It's not
like you're mc Jagger's age. But I'm just saying, like,
for what you want to do, you're not doing You're
you're doing a couple of shows a week. Yeah, yeah,
drawing the analogy on on a tour like that. So
you could you went out on Tuesday night? You went
to the Mammoth show. Yeah, I have to assume you

(18:25):
had some pops. Yeah I did. I can go crazy,
but you know, a nice buzz going. So couldn't go
out two nights in a row. You're not gonna go
out tonight?

Speaker 10 (18:32):
No?

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Would you go out tomorrow night?

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Like?

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I've got to show Friday night?

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Right?

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I was gonna go. I had There's a busy week
for me, So I was going to go to the
Happy Hour tonight. Just so happens. I can't make it
with that show on Friday?

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Could you go?

Speaker 2 (18:47):
How many days in between do you need?

Speaker 6 (18:51):
Too?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Feels good?

Speaker 10 (18:52):
Like?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I feel like I could maybe be ready to go
again by Thursday if I had to. I don't. I don't.
That's only one day in between. That's if you went
out last night and you go Thursday, right, yeah, one
day in between. Take the Monday off, all right? So Friday? Okay? Friday?
Oh two days so Friday sounds yeah? Okay? No, I
don't know, man, I guess it depends on what it
is like next week is going to be busy, you know,

(19:15):
like Thanksgiving, all this stuff going on, and my my
daughter wants us to take her to Maroon five, So
we're doing that Monday night after the show.

Speaker 11 (19:22):
Right, But again, I'm sort of in a good situation
where my car's here, they're going to meet us down here. Yes,
so I'll just be like, oh, time to go, right,
but we want to stay till the end.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
You could drive. Plus that Maroon five show, it is
gonna be wall to wall Lady Boners too, oh for sure.

Speaker 11 (19:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I don't like not being the
coolest guy in the room, so you know, all have
to get the hell out of there because I'm not
going to live up to Adam Levine.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Are there a lot of instances of which you're the
coolest guy in the room. Never, I was gonna say,
that's never happens. Never happened in my life. Yeah, I said,
I'd like it. I'm not even the coolest guy in
the room when Adam l isn't there, Right, I wasn't
even the coolest guy in the room. With Phil Levine,
who was my old accountant, they will just start talking
to him about numbers. I'm like that's hard being not

(20:11):
Like I'm not even the coolest guy. Now there's two
of us in here, Like that's even worse. I'm not either,
So what the hell is here? So who is all?
My wife would rather go to a concert put on
by mimes than have sex like an old Marcel Marceau
thing like a mummin chance or wow, it's a deep dive.

(20:32):
Our buddy, Chad says, if the concert is at Blossom,
I'll take the sex a lot more fun than going
to Blossom. It's more fun than going to Blossom, depending
on where you're coming from. It's the getting to Blossom.
It's a pain in the ass. Once you're there, you
have a great time. Yeah, the true of any show. Right.
I don't think I've been to Blossom, so since we
went to go see Pantera, I have not.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
Now.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
The only I just I wish.

Speaker 11 (20:53):
What I could do more than anything is I overthink
every single situation. Right, so before before I even go someplace,
I'm already thinking about leaving that place.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
See that's so fun. No, I know, I know, but
that's that.

Speaker 11 (21:07):
So you mentioned Blossom, right, Like I don't mind driving
to Blossom, I don't mind going in and watching the show.
But the second I start to think about leaving, I get,
I get, I get the scoots, I'll, I get so
much odjit to thinking about leaving that bla. Why because
I don't like driving it late at night. I don't
like because I've had a couple of drinks.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I don't like it. Yeah, but your back time, Oh
of course, I always yeah, of course you go. I'm
gonna stop now. I don't.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
I won't drink and drive, That's just no way. But
I don't like having that stress, like I gotta stop
doing this now. Then it's over for me and I'm
out of the night. And that's why I always leave early.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I like the regiment of a plan.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
I like going, We're gonna go here. Then now you
gotta obviously leave room for there to be some fluidity
right in the evening. Some things will some nights will
take you in a different place. You hadn't to anticipate it.
But if you've got the bones of a plan there,
then you're like, I have my last drink here, show
ends here, I leave here, beat the traffic whatever I'm
on the road, I'm home by here, barring any you know,

(22:09):
late night construction, of which there's always some but yeah,
I like that because then in my mind I can
I can lay it all out. I go, this is
how it's gonna go. Yeah, I focus on the stuff
that sucks part of it. That's what I got to
get better at. I will maybe something.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
I'm old now and kind of set my ways, I guess,
but mm hmm.

Speaker 11 (22:27):
I would love to not be that way, you know
what I mean, Like, it'd be fantastic to be like, oh,
I'm excited to go. I've never had a I'm excited
to go do something and be excited all the way
through it and have a great time and then leave happy.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I've never really done that. See, I don't get excited,
So in my mind, I'm like, this will be fun,
It's be a good time. I don't ever get excited
about anything, and so you go and do stuff and
then that way you're like, yeah, that kind of sucked.
You go eh, okay.

Speaker 11 (22:57):
I was even saying yesterday before the show, I'm like, man,
like I'm in this window now where I'm like, eh,
I could go home, and I was looking forward to
the show for like six months.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yes, you know, what I mean. Yeah, so it looks
like that meme. Nothing's better than last minute canceled plans
or something like that when somebody calls you and goes, hey,
I can't make it, and you're like, oh thank god
that this morning. That doesn't happen to me very often.
Like granted, I don't know a lot of shows I
go to by myself, so it's not that big of
the deal. I come and go as I please, but

(23:26):
it's yeah, I don't ever get excited. So if I
have a good time, I take that that's a win.
And if I don't, I'm like, oh, yeah, well that's
life done. Alan. It's the paying for one hundred dollars
upgraded parking at Blossom that well we'd get VIP Yeah,
I know. I don't go out there and it was
like a viper cast. Hell's no.

Speaker 11 (23:44):
There was one show my wife asked last minute and
I got tickets for her. I don't remember what it was.
It was her and the girls. When it's another family
and they're like, can you get parking, I'm like no,
the day of I can't add you to the list, now,
you know what I mean. But I was able to
get tickets they parked in whatever lot normal people you
take you take the tram in. She's like, she's like,

(24:06):
we walked for like two miles.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, we were like at Sograte's. I would have walked
in a woodstock. I would ask cass or grass whatever,
just stayed in the car. I would have never you
walked two miles to go to a show. Well, then
you get your that's fine.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, isn't You're talking about the show and you're yeah,
it's good. No, you're taking in some nature because you're
out there at Blossom.

Speaker 11 (24:30):
It's seven thousand degrees, humidity is high, and we get
a pop up shower just for the hell of it.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, No, what are you gonna do? Sit on a chair,
sit at home? Yes? Oh god, that sounds so good.
I mean there's days like I even think, like I'm
sitting here now, I'm already playing, like what I'm going
to do as soon as I get home tonight. You're
already thinking about dinner, aren't you dinner? Yeah, and then
laying down watching TV maybe a little lot TV tonight.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I would I would love to be a person that
was just like, yeah, let's go do something Yeah, it's
just not me. I don't know why. I would love
to be that person. Huh, such a miserable son of
a bitch. Well, but there's no Listen, there's somebody to
be said for knowing what you like and knowing what
you don't like. And that's fine too, right, But yeah,

(25:27):
I don't know. I think there's you've you have limited
time to have those experiences, and I think you should
agree that them why you can. A lot of fans
came up and said, hello, that was nice, thank you.
I was appreciate that. Where's Alan is he here? I said,
he's not. He's vomiting in the bathroom. If you'll just
let him be play. He's cross faded and he's hiding.

(25:50):
I sure am. I'm back there in the corner. He's
in one of the opera boxes. That's where you'll find
him at any Agora show. Is up in one of
the boxes, and he's probably lying their teats up. I
was looking at this point. I was looking at those
boxes last night. That's like a perfect spot for you
to have sat for ICPS. Those are the only tickets
I ever buy. I will, I'll I'll email them and

(26:13):
I'll say give me two box tickets. They're perfect. They
have all my information on file. Yeah, ICP. When they're
shooting Fago into the crowd and I'm just watching it,
it was the best. That's and they were getting some
air boy because I mean they were getting up into
the mezzanine, you know what I mean. It was like,
we got a couple of drops on us up in
the opera boxes, but we were not. If you were

(26:34):
on the floor, you were coated in that stuff. So
now I'm there for the spectacle. I don't need to
be part of the show. You can buy upgraded parking
day of all right. Well listen, yeah, those are things
that people should look into. Other people they couldn't care less.
They're like, hey, it's the whole thing, you know. I

(26:54):
was thinking about people who live like a couple of
minutes from Blossom, how easy it is for them to
just like scoot over and scoop back. Does anybody live
a couple of minutes from Bostomo? Well, yeah, it's out there,
and I mean there's people who live yeah, Cuyhoga Falls.
I mean there's people who live out there. No, right,
but it's still like Peninsula, that whole area once you
pull onto the property, it's a ways to get back there.
So that's that's what I meant. Well, yeah, but I'm

(27:14):
just saying it's still closer than like, if you're in
the city, I got you. Yeah, yah, yeah yeah. If
you're like, oh, you know, I live ten minutes from Blossom,
I gonna take my golf cart. Trouble is, that's the
only place you live close to, right, The Agora is
your Blossom if you live out there. The Allen Carr Show.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
On one hundreds.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Our phone operators are standing by with their thumbs up
their asses waiting for you to call.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
So cool, call the Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
You're two one six, five, seven eight one double oh seven,
or one eight hundred and three four eighty one double
oh seven.

Speaker 12 (28:00):
If you want to geh thirty next nice flash eighty transplanketers,
eight venues from the store.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Calves are on the floor tonight taking on yoo ming
the Houston Rockets. I think he's still there, alight, Clive
mcgwid Frickler, seven o'clock tonight. Calves at home the Rocket Arena,
although I gotta tell you, I should really call it
the Calves Arena. When Houston is in town. I don't
care for that at all. What are you gonna do?

(28:40):
Seven o'clock tip off tonight on the Buzzard and on
the iHeartRadio app. We'll roll out just in time for
your pregame coverage at six thirty Calves Rockets tonight on
the Buzzard. You know, we talk about how AI is
cranking out music and it's on streamers, and most people

(29:01):
it goes right over their heads, right. If you're not
you're kind of half listening anyway, you're not going to notice.
And so the people who just create them, it's it's
quantity over quality, right, And they're easy to do and
they get you know, they'll show up in people's playlists,
and the people who are making them are just shoveling
coal into the furnace and making some money off of it.

(29:23):
And we kind of joke about how, you know, country music,
you can string anything together and it'll sound like a
legit country song. I think that's just because we don't
like country music. We take our shots at it. But
I think if any genre of music you could do that,
there's plenty of you know, AI death metal and streamers too,
and you'd never know to the untrained ear. There's a
song called cold Beer that is really racking up some

(29:46):
streams on the streaming services. Just a mashup of fifty
different country artists singing the phrase cold beer over and
over again. Yea, and people listen to it and they go,
all right, you know. This is what is so frustrating
and vexing to actual flesh and blood artists is that,
at the end of the day, the problem is people

(30:07):
don't care because it's entertainment. And Rob's point is, well,
then you have got to step it up and make
something better. But which is a great thought, and I agree,
But if people don't care, then they might not be
reading something as better or worse. Sure, a little bit
of cold.

Speaker 12 (30:27):
Beer, beer, cold beer, cold beer, co co coobe.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Cool, cool cold.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Trying to pick up a coldy, trying to pick up
a running theme here. Now, I don't know who any
of these people are. These are all real artists and
they've strung together them singing about cold beer, which in
and of itself should tell you what a constant theme
that is. Yeah, just a mash up of fifty different
country artists, the real flesh and blood people singing cold

(31:11):
beer in the song. I don't know who any of
those people are because I don't have a trained ear
for that format.

Speaker 11 (31:15):
But yeah, they're taking lines from their actual songs. I'm
putting that together. That's not like, you know, fake, that's
not AI, right, No, that's that kind of led into
it with AI. But those are real guys.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, and that's where I'm like, Okay, come on, dude,
for real. I confuse some of the big country stars.
There's a guy named Luke Bryan. He's the one that
sounds like Kermit the Frog. Okay, oh hi, everybody, I'm
but isn't he on the He's on the voice or something.
American idol, americanol. He's been around for a minute. I

(31:47):
only remember him because I met him. I did a
shot with him in Scottsdale, Arizona, many years ago, and
he was a nice guy. But I confuse all these people.
And that was ten years ago. So now you've got
this next wave of solo artists. There's a guy named
Zach Bryan, who is I don't have to tell you
how popularly this guy is. He did the first show

(32:07):
ever at the Big House in ann Arbor, Michigan, where
the Michigan Wolverines play. I couldn't believe they had never
done a concert before, but maybe they figured anybody who
comes through here is not going to sell this thing out.
This guy sold this thing out. He did the biggest
ticketed event ever, I think is what it said, one
hundred and twelve thousand tickets. Right, if you've ever been
to the Big House there, and I know people in Ohio,

(32:27):
they get their panties in a twist, you know, they're
they're like crossing ms out of things, and it's like,
all right, But the Michigan's Stadium there in ann Arbor
is massive, and Zach Bryan sold it out and he's sober. Now.
This is the guy who I had only heard of.
And again I couldn't tell you one song of his,

(32:50):
but people who like him clearly really like him. But
this is a guy who was in all kinds of
trouble publicly because he was dating some podcast or I
think he was dating a girl called Brionna chicken Fry
and again another person I don't know who that is,
but i'd heard the name and she had accused him
of some kind of DV stuff throwing her around her.

(33:11):
I don't know what it is very acrimonious, and he's
in the news because he says that he's gotten himself sober,
which again it's a story everybody loves. Right, you get
yourself into trouble. But he used to say there's no
such thing as bad press. That was when there were
only two or three places doing press. Right, there's very

(33:32):
much of such a thing as bad press. But the
way that you get out of it is you start
talking about your mental health, you talk about getting sober,
and so that's what he's done. So the big breakup
with her was a big deal online people giving him
a hard time, and then he went after some other

(33:53):
country yard. Yeah, he fought a defense or something. He
fought a guy named Gavin Adcock. Again, don't know who
that is, but I'm sure a lot of people do.
He fought him at a music festival. And this is
a guy, by the way, Zach Bryan is kind of
a He's not a lefty, you know, like when you
think of like lefty country arts, you think a Chris Christopferson.

(34:14):
That's a guy who was like, you know, he's fighting
with Toby Keith backstage and stuff like that. Zach Bryan,
though he's a guy who gets like maga people mad
at him because he's not gargling Trump's balls, which is
what they're into. And I guess if you're in that
country genre and you're not singing that tune, they get
really really mad. Right, You'll never hear anyone whining harder

(34:37):
than a mega snowflake. And so Zach Bryan was taking
some slings and arrows from those people because you know,
his songs are kind of politically charged. But he he
is a young man. He'sn't even thirty eight, and you
know he was in the military and he got famous
real fast. You know, that's what the country music genre

(34:59):
can do for too, is you can get real famous,
real fast because it's the new pop music. And so
that has helped this guy. But he's in the news
now because he's been sober for two months.

Speaker 14 (35:12):
This popular genre, this sixth letter genre, this genre c.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
O u ntry. Speaking of sobriety, you want to look
to your north star in our orbit, sobriety won Mary
Lynn Santora, who's gotta be going on five or six
years sober, right, Yeah, she was a couple of years
when I got here, and she comes to town over
Thanksgiving to do a weekend at Hilarities, and this year

(35:38):
is no different. And she's going to be doing Hilarities
next weekend and she will be in here on Tuesdays.
Awesome on her birthday. Mary Santora back on the show
on her birthday on Tuesday, and then we will be
gone for the holiday the rest of the week. That's great.
So we'll chat with her about the upcoming shows and
what's going on with her and reintroduce her to this audience. Ironically,

(36:03):
our new phone screener will be with us Monday and
Tuesday as well. Yeah, and so excited to introduce you
to her. But Mary Santora making her triumphant return to
the program. Bill Squier has been back here. I don't
recall when Mary was on last It's been a minute.
I think back when everything happened, right, because she was
at it. Yeah, I don't think she's been back. See
I forget because I've seen her in I've been with

(36:25):
her in public on a couple of occasions, and I
guess I forgot that she hadn't been in here for
a minute.

Speaker 11 (36:30):
Because she was working remotely for us for quite a while. Yes,
And I think when that last show happened.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
I think that was it. I think that was the
last time she was on. I don't think she's been
in I thought she had been in here. Anyway, she
will be in again on Tuesday on her birthday, proper awesome,
So you know what that means, Rob thirty five. I
don't know how she is thirty five spankings. Hey, oh,
I don't know. I have to ask Brian. Well, let's see.

(36:59):
I don't know if she wants me to tell people.
But I know how old she is. I don't think
she cares that she cares. I don't know. She's still
mid young thirties. He is, Yes, she was born after
my sister, so yeah, that's weird. My little sister is
older than Mary Santora. But that's the way the world works.

(37:20):
So anyway, Mary sober. This guy Zach Bryan sober. Good
for him. And uh, you know, when we first moved here,
he played at uh Romo Fijo Okay, and I sold
it out second Yeah, and I and these guys are
playing like football stadium, right, and my kid wanted to go,

(37:42):
my oldest so I asked, you know, we had tickets,
and I got a pair and uh oh yeah. She
was like, Dad, what did you do? And I'm like,
what do you mean?

Speaker 4 (37:52):
What did I do?

Speaker 2 (37:53):
And she sent me a picture she was standing on
the side of the stage, like right up against the
side of the stage.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
What did you do?

Speaker 2 (37:59):
How did you get the tickets? I'm like, I don't know,
I have no idea. Just ask the question. Usually our
head is touching the roof, right, That's what I was saying.
I don't have a good question for a good answer
for you. I was shocked. I thought she was going
to be in the nosebleeds. I was reading Its Being
a Drink and I was reading about how the country
of Thailand has outlawed day drinking. Huh. I mean that's
a big tourist spot, right, Thailand is penalizing day drinking,

(38:22):
including tourists. Yes, I said penalizing about Thailand too. The
new law finds consumers and sellers between two and five pm,
so it's a small window. So I guess if you
were day drinking at noon, you're fine with fines a

(38:44):
minimum of ten thousand bot. Of course, the currency there
in Thailand it's about three hundred American So if you
want to go over there and party, which, let's face it,
people do you can get the food here, they go
over there. In part if you're willing to spend three
hundred American to do a little day drinking, probably not
going to deter you. How much was the fine ten

(39:08):
in their currency, ten thousand bot bots as the cars
it bot three hundred. By the way, is there a
more appropriately named city in the world than Bangkok? I mean,
it's become the commercial sex capital of the world.

Speaker 10 (39:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Amsterdam is old and busted. Boy, Bangkok it ain't even
the new hotness, but it's you know all those post
Vietnam sex workers, right, they just kind of kept the
red light districts going. So Bangkok has like plane loads
of Japanese and German tourists that fly in and go
nuts in the city, and you know, those are your

(39:50):
two axis powers. So it's come a long way when
Japanese and German tourists are locking arms and boners, yeah,
to enjoy themselves in Bangkok, and they've joined forces one
more time to swing their dogs around Southeast Asia. But yeah,

(40:14):
out long day drinking in Thailand now again, I don't know,
and maybe they're trying to you know, there are a
lot of cities around the world that have to deal
with unruly tourists. You know, Amsterdam dealt with this for
a long long time where it got to the point
where they're really now trying to dissuade people from doing
a lot of the things that made Amsterdam a destination.

(40:36):
They're trying to push all the red light districts out
into the suburbs. They're trying to stop people from like
smoking hash and all that stuff. So that was the
only reason people went to Amsterdam for a long time. Right,
you can go to Holland, Michigan if you want to
see tulips. But in Thailand they're like, oh, you're gonna
get a fine if you're called day drink.

Speaker 11 (40:55):
It does seem odd like they just seem like they're
doing more damage than good to business, you know what
I mean. If it's all tourism, why would you want
to shut them down for hours in the day.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
If a customer purchases alcohol at one fifty nine PM
and consumes it after two, both the business owner and
the customer will have to pay the fines. Now, before this,
they still had some prohibited hours, but only the sellers
were punished for selling. Now the consumers. That's stupid because

(41:26):
they're like, look, you know, so some of this has
been in place for a long time. They're just expanding
it to people who, you know, the drinkers and the
drink ease, I guess the sellers and the buyers, because
they're like, yeah, there's a lot of tourists coming in
and we're trying to live in a society here. So,
you know, because I think that's one of those countries

(41:48):
where they can't have alcohol ads. You know, there's a
lot of American celebrities who will do liquor ads overseas,
like Harrison Ford and all these people do, like Japanese
Sun tour Whiskey adds. Right, isn't that the premise of
Lost in Translation? Isn't Bill Murray like this famous movie
star and he's in Japan to do a whiskey commercial
and he meets Scarlett Johansson. So that still happens. But

(42:11):
I think Thailand is one of those countries where you
can't do that at the risk of being caned. Maybe,
I don't know, it just seems so odd to me.
I don't get why you would do that. Well, I
don't know, don't know, but they've already scooped up. I
was watching a little news thing. They've already scooped up

(42:33):
a number of people under this new law.

Speaker 16 (42:35):
Here Tingwan, we too, low Ho Lee Fuk and bang
dang Ao, all of them.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
With ten thousand bot Bot tickets bot Alan, they can
keep their booze. I'm only there for the lady boys. Yeah, yeah,
the lady boys bang Cock. Indeed, Bangkok Oriental San. That

(43:04):
was a Jeopardy answer Last night Bangkok was no song
One Night in Bangkok. Yes, remember the name of the play.
Uh it was a huge hit, but it was from
a play Bangkok Oriental Stan called One Night in Bangkok
and the play was called Chess Chess. Yes, yes, I

(43:27):
don't want that.

Speaker 7 (43:28):
What is this Oriental sitting in the city, No sang Kok,
the Krem to the Krem, the Chess world and a
show with everything.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
But you run up. I remember this, goddamn.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
Don't see a minute.

Speaker 9 (43:43):
Times I got out of Metaya hotel, bar.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Where else. But yeah, last night it was there was
a category about songs from theatrical productions or something, and
one of them was One Night in Bangkok, and I
yelled out Chess, Murray Head and Chess. I wouldn't have
gotten the play. I know this song obviously in the artist.

(44:25):
Now I have to say watching this live production probably
would have made me want to carve my ears off
my head. But the song was on. I was like
seven when this was out. Ye, it's funny. The Cadence.
I never thought of it until you're playing it right now,
And I think it's because it popped up in my
feet again the other day. That Italian song where there's

(44:46):
no English words, but they make a mockery of it,
like it's just basically they put out a song to
make people think it was American. A guy did a
song in Italy and he made all of the work.
It's like, this is what English sounds like to people
who don't speak English.

Speaker 11 (45:05):
Yeah, they just made a gibberish song just to make
it sound like an American song because they were consuming
American music over there.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Like nineteen seventy two.

Speaker 11 (45:12):
And if you listen to the Cadence, it's the exact
same as what he does there one night in Bangkoka, Italy.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
It doesn't even make sense Italian country. The gibberish song
that fooled the world is usually what will come up
when people look for this number eighty six in the
United This guy of where's the song? I don't need
you explaining it to me? Lay the damn song? Here
we go. Oh it maybe gets to call them all time.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Tails. The mind began to go a little bit of mistake.

Speaker 17 (45:54):
Yet it's run.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Wait a fine of shoot home in the same maybe
used to come above that.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
It's actually amazing. I mean imagine trying were you doing
a song where you're trying to make it sound like
English but you're not using any English. I mean it's
not just it is gibberish technically, but he's not up
there going hamana haamana, you know. I mean it's like
a skill to it. It is what does an American
sound like to you?

Speaker 10 (46:24):
And go?

Speaker 11 (46:26):
You know, because like we would all do impressions of
what we think other languages sound like.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
See, I don't know. Was this guy like an established
comedian or something like a singer. Yeah, it's pretty wild.
That'll make the rounds on social media every so often.
But yeah, that Cadence reminded me of it just now.
When you played murray Head. The song is called President

(46:53):
Colin Sick and Sukanol or something. Which I think I
took in college to balance my moods. So that was good.
But nineteen seventy two a song with fake English lyrics
but no actual meaning. He created the song to show
how English was influential in Italy and make a statement
on music. Well, brother John, you have to think that

(47:15):
that guy is dead. Oh he's not.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
He's eighty seven years old, and boy does he have
some teeth. Sure does the Allen Cox Show on one
hundred seven MS.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
All our men and women in uniform.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
I've been a lifelong fan twenty years of military come
back from a sign. Your afternoons show is horrible.

Speaker 18 (47:41):
Thanks from the Alan Cox Show on one hundred point
seven WMMS.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
I got that trip to La. Keep that in mind.
By the way, five o'clock are sold out Altered Ego Festival.
It is January to seventeenth in La. Really not that
far out. We'll get past the holidays and then send
you out there. Are you and a friend? We'll fly
you out there, We'll put you up. It is live
at the Key of Forum that night with Green Day
and twenty one Pilots and Cage the Elephant, Good Charlotte

(48:21):
and many more. We've been doing it for probably six
or seven years. Now in January sells out very very quickly,
and we can get you there. So five o'clock today
and tomorrow I'll have one of these trips for you.
We throw in one thousand dollars as well, which is
entirely up to you how fast that goes. Even in
La Could you easily blow a grand on uber out there?

(48:44):
Of course you could. Could you blow a grand, well,
not a grand. Could you blow a sizeable chunk of
that money on high end sushi in the valley? Of
course you could. There's no trees out there either. Once
you get in the valley right it's a thousand degrees,
there's no tree. But they do have really good sushi.
There's a spot in Thousand Oaks which is d delicious.

(49:06):
But the Kia Forum right there in beautiful Inglewood, California.
It's a beautiful a it really is. Yes, I would
take an Uber and woods always up to it, wouldn't walk,
but it's a proper place to see a show. So
I'll have the next keyword for you around five o'clock.

(49:29):
Your Cavalier's are playing tonight, hosting the Houston Rockets. Seven
o'clock tip six thirty pre game on the Buzzer to
coming off a win against the Milwaukee Bucks that was
one eighteen to one oh six on Monday. So tonight
against Houston. Two more games here at home before they
go up to Toronto. Friday, they'll play the Pacers for
an NBA Cup game and then they'll host the LA Clippers.

(49:52):
The Clippers played the Kia form.

Speaker 11 (49:54):
The no no not anymore they used to, they use
no the Kia Forum is that's where the Lakers played.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Which one is Crypto dot com or that might.

Speaker 11 (50:04):
Be where they are now. But the forum was made
famous by the Lake by the Lakers, right, okay, and
they were there, they.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Really did whatever where the Lakers are now? Is that arena?
I don't know. I thought it was. Did they pull
Crypto dot Com off of it? Or is that not
a thing anymore? Anyway? The LA Clippers versus your Cleveland
the Cavaliers on Sunday, and then they'll head up to Toronto.
You're right, Crypto dot Com arena, it is still okay.

(50:30):
I think that's probably coming to an end. I think
they're looking to unload that. But like Jimmy Haslam, right,
he's looking to unload the thing down there in Columbus.
They got a shop for some new naming rights down there.
He's got that lower dot Com field. The Clippers play
in the Intuit Dome. Intuit Dome. Well, who plays at

(50:50):
the key of Forum Now, no one, nobody, No, it's
it's just a live music venue.

Speaker 11 (50:54):
I think it's well, I mean, if if they want,
I think it's an everything, all purpose venue. It's just
it's old and antique and huh it's not home to
anything like that.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
I believe. Well, we're sending it to the old and adequated. Kipall.
You gotta be ducking chunks of concrete on great days
on stage. Don't make it too well. That starts vibrations
and then the roof comes down. That's not what I meant.
Oh good. I certainly wouldn't want anyone in this audience
to think that we were going to knowingly put them

(51:25):
in harm's way. Oh the Forum is, It's just it's
that it was an old arena, so we put They
built the new stuff, the new hotness. So yeah, trip
for you. A little bit later on, I've got some
food news as we're right on top of Thanksgiving. About

(51:47):
Hines is launching its first ever squeezeable bottle of gravy.
If you were if you you got to hand it
to the Hines people. You know, I lived and worked
in Pittsburgh for many years, which is their home city.
Heines Field, of course, was all over Steelers Stadium for
a while, and Teresa Heines carry was with John Carrey.

(52:11):
I think she still is when he was running for president.
She was very prominent, you know, it from one of
a very prominent family. But they're always trying to stay
on the cutting edge of squeezable condiments, the Heines people.
I think I was still living in Pittsburgh many years
ago when they were trying to trot out the green
and purple ketchup, not understanding that people have a very

(52:34):
close relationship between their eyes and their taste buds, and
they were marketing it primarily towards kids, but even kids
were like, ketchup is supposed to be read. You know,
there's a very distinct connection between what your eye sees
and what your mouth predicts or expects. And it tasted
exactly like ketchup. They probably have all bottles of it

(52:57):
on eBay or something, but they did not last long
at all. All green and purple ketchup. Anyway, Hines is
rolling out home style turkey gravy. They're calling it gravy
for leftovers. Why not just use the leftover gravy because
you get that film on it if it's homemade gravy. Right,

(53:19):
maybe grandma makes beef gravy, but you want pork gravy.
Maybe grandma makes uh vegan gravy. What he should be
making turkey gravy? What are we talking about? I know
turkey gravy, but this way, you don't have to make
a new batch. If everybody blows through your gravy and

(53:40):
so so Hines cloas you're gonna blow? Yes, how am
I gonna blow gravy? Come on? Now, this looks like
a bottle of stadium mustard. There it is a Hinds
leftover gray, the ultimate sandwich gravy. Now, I will tell

(54:03):
you this, and I will probably sound naive or sound
stupid or both, but you diehard listeners know my weird
relationship with food. I didn't realize people were putting gravy
on sandwiches. Your favorite sandwich doesn't have gravy on it. No,
where do you get wah wah oh the gobbler. Yeah,
I don't get it with gravy. Okay, all right, if

(54:26):
they offer it with gravy, you're probably right that they do.
It's just when you're beat poop, when you put together.
I'm just saying, I'm saying at home, Yeah, I guess
I didn't realize people were putting like, if I'm gonna
make turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving turkey, Yeah, miracle whip because
I like the zesty zip Okay, sliced green olives. Uh huh, pepper,

(54:49):
that's my sandwich. That's it. That's it, really so but
behinds people no more than I do, and so they're
rolling out left over gravy. They say it's specifically made
for sand Huh. It was inspired by the Friends episode
Golly remember that where somebody steals Ross's moist maker sandwich.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
Yu.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
No, I don't remember that episode, but Friends fans might
and so hines and they're leftover gravy. So I don't
know if it's also available in jars. I don't know.
I would assume probably goes fast, and so people are
looking around, and you know, I'm sure it's available online.

(55:32):
You know that Walmart might have been carrying these jars.
Oh yeah, like the Chevelle song. Ah. So listen. Even
Walmart is closed on Thanksgiving. There are a lot of
places that have holiday hours. You know, a lot of
local pharmacies will still be open things like that. But
Walmart closed completely on Thanksgiving. But if you're gonna somebody

(55:55):
who blows through their gravy, you know you got the
cranberry sauce and the stuffing. That is how some people,
you know. Granted, I do eat a modified gobbler.

Speaker 6 (56:06):
You you do.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
I do.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Modified gobbler open for mammoth last night, didn't they? I
don't believe so. Oh no, the cramp bad resource for
having mass potatoes. Oh, the turkey looks great. Thank you
for loving me, Thank you for being there. Everyone's thanking
Weld's thanking you again, thanking you killed the turkey, kale,

(56:32):
the turkey killed the tark. Blow through your gravy. Also
in food news. Again, I don't know who was asking
for this, but there are companies looking around, you know,
there's only You've gone from dozens and dozens of companies
that make processed foods too, about four or five, and
so they look around at the vast expanse of their empire,

(56:53):
and they say, what brands do we own? And how
can we smash them together? And how can we convince
people to buy this, and how can we do it cheaply?
Dorito's and Cheetos are rolling out something called Simply Naked,
which is made with no dyes or artificial flavors. Who
is clamoring for Bear Dorito's. I think they're gonna taste

(57:14):
the same. Ha, it's gonna.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
I think it's brilliant. Well it says without bright artificial colors,
but the same iconic flavors. Ahah, you're gonna have both, Rob,
I mean, don't people want bright orange Cheeto dust on
their fingers? Not me, but some people. Nacho cheese. It's

(57:38):
Nacho cheese, Rob Cool Ranch, Cheetos puffs and flame and
hot and PEPSI is bragging about it. You know they
own all these companies.

Speaker 10 (57:51):
Now.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
They said, R and D brought this to life from
concept to completion in just eight weeks. Yeah, because you
didn't have as many ingredients. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (58:02):
All you had to do was take the color out
of it. The same The formula is still the same
color out. They made the shape different too, did you
see that. It looks same to me, is it?

Speaker 2 (58:12):
I mean, from what I saw, it looked like they
were different flaming hot and the you know, so they're
gonna just be without the bright orange color.

Speaker 11 (58:20):
It's going to look like uh, tope, tope chips brown. Yeah,
I'm fine with it. I think it's great. Get that
die out of everything.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Mm hmm. Oh good for you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
Dye is an easy target, right, but it's bad for you. Yeah,
but in anything's bad for in huge quantities. When you
talk about like processed foods, you know, RFK Junior Captain
brain Bug over there, he's like, we gotta get dies
out unless somebody's like if you've ever had a friend,
I had one who was like deathly allergic to certain dye,
so they had to be really diligent what they were eating.

(58:58):
That's one thing altogether, right, but dies in general, that
is not your bull's eye for how you fix people's
diets and prosperity. Yeah, but it's such a small element
of the bigger picture that it's like like you can
market it as some easy fix, but it doesn't really
do anything. But it's in so many things, so it's
not necessarily how much is in a dorrito, It's how

(59:20):
much is in your Hawaiian punch and how much is
in everything else that you're consuming. Yeah, that's why I'm
taking it out. Is that's why you're not supposed to
eat and drink all that stuff. I agree, but people do.
So if it's not in there, that's a good thing.
What am I going to have clear Tahitian treat next? Yes,
don't look at it. Drink it out of the can
you'd be fine.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Yeah, Like when you pour it into a glass, you're like,
oh my god, it's supposed to taste like cola and
it's clear. I'm with you on the on the mind
f of some of that stuff because somebody, you know,
like whatever the sodas are the fake soda say, your
brain associates certain flavors with certain colors. It's hard to
drink a coke or cola and not have it be

(01:00:02):
that dark color. So why crystal PEPSI flopped so odd?
People are like, I don't this shouldn't be clear.

Speaker 11 (01:00:07):
You expected to taste like sprite, yeah, or soda water
of those extreme products.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
You feel like a coward eating the regular stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:00:16):
Hey, take out that puss eating the regular Doritos can't
handle the Extreme ones.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
I'm working my way.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
You got sucker?

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Yeah, how about that served? You got served sucker? Jim Gaffigan, Oh,
speaking of Extreme, by the way, we got a we
were talking about the band Extreme Allan.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
We live in a simulation.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
I was just listening to you guys talk about Extreme
and I got to Cracker Park to pick up some
food and I stepped outside and More Than Words was
playing over the intercom system there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Yeah, how about that hate the show? Yeah? What are
the chances Rob that you're gonna be out there at
Cracker Park picking up some food? A lot of times
I'll be in Aladdin grabbing a salad or something and
they'll have the big speakers out there and More Than
Words will be on right, the big Extreme hit. Because
we were talking about Extreme yesterday Boston band Nuno, Betton Court, Yeah,

(01:01:14):
Gary Sharon who fronted Van Halen for a hot minute. Yeah, yeah,
he was a no.

Speaker 6 (01:01:20):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Betan Court did a good dude. The guy's incredible.

Speaker 15 (01:01:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
You know, we've talked about the true meaning of this
song before, too, right, have we? I thought I didn't
realize there was subtext. Yeah, it's not about it's actually
about giving up some stuff to a dude. It is
not it is that's urban legend. No, No, that's the
it's about HJ. That's the homophobia in the social fabric

(01:01:47):
of the city of Boston. No, getting a hand to listen. No,
you don't got to tell me you love me because
I already because you gave it a tug.

Speaker 19 (01:02:01):
Kid.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
Let me listen. If my heart was torn into oh,
now here o heart, my heart was torn into?

Speaker 15 (01:02:12):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
How about that? Hello, tug tug? Hello, Brian knows? Yeah,
how does he know? And I didn't know?

Speaker 20 (01:02:23):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
All right? Well boy, all these years, when I'm out
somewhere in an outdoor mall and the song comes on,
I just thought it was as advertised. I was taking
the lyrics literally.

Speaker 15 (01:02:45):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
I would not have to say that you love me
because I already already know. Huh a hander, Yep, how
about that? At least that's what I've been told you.
All of their songs have did? All of their songs
have subtext like that? Well, I mean, listen, I don't
even want to get They had stuff, although it wasn't
one of their albums called Porno Graffiti, Sure was. I

(01:03:08):
just figured that was starting together. Now now I am.
Now I am the band's called Extreme. What do you
think Get the Funk Out is about? We're done with
the HJ Now get the funk out? Yeah? Is that
what it is? I was thinking it was more about
getting it out?

Speaker 15 (01:03:27):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:03:28):
Wow, I mean this is on porno graffiti. Oh it
is more than words? Is as is get the funk out? Wow,
that's a song called it alan What else is it?
When you talk about it information technology? Are you talking
about it out? I took it out? He took it
out than words? Wow, wholehearted? Come on, dude, and that's

(01:03:51):
spelled h ol e. It sure is like they were
trying to be cheeky. But now I get what they
were doing. Yes, and they're playing this on the speers
at Cracker put it where young impressionable minds could put
two and two together.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
You can hear him whisper in the background there. Wow,
I never squeish, Ellen. My turkey sandwich is just turkey
and saracha. How about that? That's a flex. I mean,
I love siacha, but I wouldn't go just turkey and seracha.
Now you gotta have something, You gotta have a little

(01:04:31):
maybe a little crunch would be nice there, you know,
the lettuce something. You gotta have something to break up
the monotony of the soft well, because what I noticed
is like leftover. You know a lot of people after
Thanksgiving and go I make an open face sandwhich I go, well,
then what's the point of the bread? Like, I understand
the concept, but if you're just throwing all the just
remove the bread. My dad would do, so put it
on the plate.

Speaker 11 (01:04:51):
My dad would do turkey sandwiches on toast, So you'd
make toast and then do like an open face sandwich
with that, So pour the turkey and the gravy on topass.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
All right, little mash date, isn't some stuffing on it too?

Speaker 12 (01:05:02):
M h?

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Eat your food? Are not hungry?

Speaker 15 (01:05:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
I'm good.

Speaker 19 (01:05:11):
Alan.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
What's gonna make people a little overweight die in food
or squeezable gravy? I didn't say it's an overweight thing.
I didn't do with overweight. You're talking about the general
health of these things, correct night additives Why. I got
a lot of messages from people as well. After we
got that email from the person. I wanted to keep
them anonymous, but they sent me the photo of friends

(01:05:33):
of theirs who just bought a home, and in the
basement was a glory hole in the bathroom. Right, previous
owner had been a gay man, and there was a
glory hole in the basement stall toilet door had a
sticker over. They were not trying to hide it at all.
Was it festive? Not that I know that it was

(01:05:54):
a festive glory hole? Hey, what's up, guys?

Speaker 17 (01:05:57):
When my buddy moved into his house, he found a
shoebox in the closet.

Speaker 15 (01:06:02):
Actually wasn't a shoebox.

Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
It was a big box and he opened it up
and inside was a giant, remote controlled vibrating butt plug.

Speaker 17 (01:06:11):
And uh, I'm not sure what he did with it.
To be honest with you, I made it to find
that out. Take it easy, guess a vibrating Sure what
he did with it? Why didn't you ask him what
he did with it?

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Is he walking?

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
Funny?

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Is that m I telling him? Show?

Speaker 21 (01:06:25):
A panel appeared on the window sill with a circle
cut out, and oh what a side. The mystery grew
in the fading line, snowflakes, falling whispers grow.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
What's behind that panel's glove?

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
That's the gory? What could it be a board of
the Joyant or a mystery.

Speaker 21 (01:06:54):
Jingle bells ring as the stories.

Speaker 7 (01:06:56):
Roll of Cleveland's own faster.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
The DJ said it before I say it again, your move,
Mark Nolan. I pulled a Leslie Nielsen on him an
airplane this morning. I poked my head in here and jempchana,
we're in a break, and I stuck my head and
I go, could you guys do me a favor, if
it's not too much trouble, could you play the best
Christmas hits of today and yesterday. Thanks so much. We're
all counting on.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
You holiday cheer.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
And he said, visit absolutely, that's what we're here for.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
That's the glory. What could it be a bottle of
the job ring that story?

Speaker 6 (01:08:00):
Come on, it's so silly, it's it's so good nuts.
Here's whistling. I like the whistle.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
I don't know that i'd noticed the whistling before. It
just makes it jauntier. Right Erican Penn Hills wants to
know if at the Christmas season people former owners were
decking the holes the bows of Holly. I don't think
there was anyone named Holly anywhere near those Anything. Anything

(01:08:32):
is possible That's what I love about the holiday season.
Rob anything is possible, no right, still doing it? Or
a mystery a portal to joy? Why can't it be both?
Two things can be true? That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
The car Show on one.

Speaker 5 (01:09:00):
I remember Cleveland, Allen, you have been described by your
enemies as evil, insane, manipulative.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Who are you called?

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
The Allan Cox Show?

Speaker 10 (01:09:12):
Two one sixty five seven eight one double O seven.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
Or one eight three four eight one double O seven?

Speaker 20 (01:09:20):
Hello head all come morning is blowing and I'm passing
off the neighbors. Well the home going on reboarded you
said on the shot it because we're waiting on the paper.

(01:09:41):
So it's not when they asked you time.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
You will say these d what we use that?

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Come, here's a goat running around. They asked you a
couple of neighborhoods in Detroit. Was it not the weirdest
thing you're going to see in Detroit? Really? You know,
Detroit Pistons best team right now? I think right in
the NBA one of them, at least the Eastern Conference. Yeah,

(01:10:09):
Calves right behind him. They won't play each other again
until after the first of the year. But I think
they beat the Pistons last time. But yeah, listen, there's
a lot of weird stuff going on in Detroit. We
just had friends that moved. They're from here, actually, but
they have lived in Denver for quite some time and
they just moved back to Detroit because a lot of
people are trying to get in on, like, you know,
the revitalization of Detroit, and it's a very weird window.

(01:10:31):
So if you remember, did you see the movie Barbarian
that's Zach Kreiger movie where the girl at the beginning
of the movie is the girl in the middle of
nowhere in Detroit going to this airbn b. I did not,
and then the whole thing goes wildly awry, but she
gets into this. It's kind of an interesting snapshot of
She's just in the middle of this burned out neighborhood

(01:10:53):
and one person has flipped their home and is renting
it is an airbnb. But for the most part, you're
gonna see weird things in Detroit. Guy jumped up on
his hood. There's roof raather of his car, started screaming
when he saw a goat running up to him. Now,
is the reaction a little overboard? Sure, but you never

(01:11:18):
know how you're going to react when you see livestock
in your urban neighborhood against.

Speaker 16 (01:11:21):
Great escape, capturing lots of attention and even some fear
on Detroit's West Side. Now viral video shows the moment
the goat met a neighbor.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
Look at this, by the way, that's not the goat screaming.
That is the guy on the roof of his car,
screaming at the end of his driveway on his own
ring camera. I think so seven neighbor dashy a tough

(01:11:53):
first meeting, but the people getting along great.

Speaker 12 (01:11:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:11:56):
Seven was Detroit reporter Meghan Dand.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Look at that goat. A big black coat with the horns.
He walked up to the guy, Rob walked right up
to him.

Speaker 11 (01:12:06):
He said, what's like, Well, that would explain the jumping
on top of the car and screaming like a bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
Yah, that's right. What's like, delicious black phillip right there
in Detroit City, baby screaming too. I'll tell you what
we up there on the roof of his car. Oh
my god. But this is what we're going to be

(01:12:34):
contending with right in this fading republic is just animals
walking around. This is the beginning of we see these
isolated incidents. Sure, you know, I lived in Ohio City
and it was the era of like urban farmers and
people had chickens and you, oh, we get our own eggs. Great,
and then you realize what a pain in the ass

(01:12:56):
they are, and everybody complains. But more and more you're
gonna start to see animals openly robed coexisting with their
human counterparts in urban areas. It's every It's like that
in all the Caribbean islands, like they're just everywhere. Nobody
pays any mind to it, nobody cares, no big deals.

Speaker 16 (01:13:14):
Reunited the neighbors and spoke with the goat's owner, who's
now facing legal issues as a result.

Speaker 22 (01:13:21):
God one very misbehaving goat is in hot water after
spending the day causing chaos up and down the block
on Detroit's West Side.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
They're very calming for people, not necessarily him. The owner
is standing there, the goats all over him, and he's
pretending like this is perfectly yeah, he's just friendly. It's
like fighting this trying to give you a what's the
matter here is a meant?

Speaker 22 (01:13:43):
He is the owner of the four legged troublemaker, the
goat called Smoke escaped by hopping the fence and taking
himself on a self guided tour of the neighborhood where
he met.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Him self guided. That's an interesting way to put it
in for gats headphones tour. Hey, where is the docent?
This is Jim's house. Jim's scared of goats. Uh huh
l Scott down the block.

Speaker 8 (01:14:08):
I saw a gooss hop. I'm like, okay, okay, I
start and then as soon as you see mister Bob
here come out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Why do you call him mister bob? He referred to
go as mister Bob and I saw mister Bob here
name but worse, I don't want him to rock around.
He actually hopped the fence. That wasn't the idea. I
do need to keep him contained.

Speaker 22 (01:14:35):
According to court records, Wednesday's escapade prompted the city to
site Smoke's owner with possessing a wild animal without a
permit inside the city. His ament, He tells me he's
hoping the city of Detroit will reconsider and see the
value these four legged animals can bring to the community.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
Value the value I mean, I mean other than I
mean they can keep the grass short and that's good
eating and get out a line. Boy, too many self
guided tours, you're gonna end up on my tragger. Well
you just call up in Jamaican friends for that and
they'll take care of that thing. Lickety split. I'll tell
you I don't have all the proper spices.

Speaker 22 (01:15:08):
So court records also show a history of problems with
his animals.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Detroiters were allowed to farm and garden the way many
of us want to. We could have the most unique
city on the planet. Then don't live in the city,
bro right right, I mean, it's not that far until
you get out of the city Detroit, where you're in
the fields. Get out there on the block, like.

Speaker 22 (01:15:28):
Maya Campbell say, they appreciate the agricultural diversity in the city.

Speaker 8 (01:15:32):
You recognize there are lots of urban farms and there
are people who have goats, chickens, all sorts of animals,
which is a beautiful thing for our community.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Well, how you doing today?

Speaker 22 (01:15:42):
And meeting smoke Monday on friendly terms Daylon.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
Tells me the friendly terms the street.

Speaker 22 (01:15:47):
He knows exactly what to do.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
It'd be cool.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
I know where to take them.

Speaker 8 (01:15:51):
So if anybody do see him in the neighborhood on
the city's west side.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
Goat stirs up trouble in Escape. I like all that,
like everything about that. They're in Detroit. Can we not.

Speaker 6 (01:16:12):
What?

Speaker 10 (01:16:13):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:16:13):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Can we? I don't I don't like this. I don't
like this. You don't like what. I don't like when
the thing talks. Oh, you don't like when black Philip.
I guess all right, if you listen to us on
iHeartRadio from out of state, Detroit or elsewhere, we have
a lot of bureau chieves in the great city of Detroit,

(01:16:35):
but to elsewhere. Scott listens in York, Maine. You know
where York, Maine is.

Speaker 11 (01:16:40):
I used to vacation all the time, York, Maine, right
over the bridge from Potsmouth, New Hampshire.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
That's what Scott listens on the iHeartRadio app. I used
to go. I rented the house every year on long
Sands Beach. There's Short Sands in long Stands in York,
and I used to rent the house on long Stands
every year. The most beautiful lighthouse you haven't gonna see
is right there in York. Mate's called the Nubble Lighthouse.
One of the most photographed lighthouses on planet Earth. Nouble, Yeah,

(01:17:08):
the nubble lighthouse. I'm sitting right here by co worker
at Saint Mary's Lewiston Medical Center. Whereas yeah, huh, Rob
is a bureau chief in New Orleans. No relation know.
Richard is in the Florida Keys. Didn't say which one.
Matt listens in Delray Beach, Florida, and Jeremy is in

(01:17:30):
the Pacific Northwest. He's out there in Olympia, Washington.

Speaker 23 (01:17:33):
Hey, Allen, Rob, listen to the podcast yesterday. You were
talking about Shader Sanders house getting broken into, and Rob said,
it's not like it's on the same cul de sac
as him.

Speaker 15 (01:17:45):
What if it is?

Speaker 23 (01:17:46):
Follow me here. He gets drafted by the Browns right
around the same time these stupid ducks show up.

Speaker 4 (01:17:55):
Distraction.

Speaker 23 (01:17:56):
Maybe look at those neighbors. Nobody's looking at the stupid
ducks boom in the house to go, oh, but that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
Hell of a conspiracy. He really is, Hey, Rob, Hey.

Speaker 4 (01:18:10):
Hey quack call hey Rob, Hey, they quack call success.

Speaker 19 (01:18:19):
He said, Yo, my neighbors got ducks. They be fucking
all day. But what think I had enough? And every
time I sleep, maybe clucking up the storm. Every time
I leave the duck's going off.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
He hear quack quack fi like a Dottle duff.

Speaker 19 (01:18:33):
And quack quackis quack season bitch on d Dynasty.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
My god, that's a.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
Fat goose quack quack.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
Quick move.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
Now, would Rob rather have a goat running through his
driveway or goats in the backyard or ducks rather in
the backyard?

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
Neither?

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Yeah, neither, I have to pick. Yeah, we're trying to
live in society here. I live in a neighborhood, dude.
That's the thing.

Speaker 11 (01:19:02):
I don't want any of those things. If I wanted them,
I would live on a farm.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Yeah, yep. Okay. So there's one conspiracy theory that the
ducks coincide with the arrival. Yeah, I don't think so.
I don't think so either. I'm gonna go with no.
It's a bit of a stretch.

Speaker 24 (01:19:23):
Hey, boys, it's Becky from Wayne County. I'm catching up
on today's show and you were talking about it sud
Sanders getting burgled, and I thought you burgled was maybe
him being taunted on the field, and it's just a
new word. I was about to google it, but obviously

(01:19:44):
I know what you're talking about now as I listen
to it, but I hope you're having a good.

Speaker 25 (01:19:48):
Week by.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Everybody else has burglarized. I love burgled. You don't get
to use it that often. Burgled of Becky is what
Happenspparently in that extreme song, somebody's getting burgled in more
than words. I didn't know that. The subtext that Rob
informed me is at play there You're welcome. So I

(01:20:13):
guess Becky had never heard the word burgled? Is that
what I'm left to infer there? Yeah, should dr Sanders,
But this guy screws up. People should just chance. Should
should They're gonna get their chance. He's starting this week.
Yeah all right, maybe you know what. Listen, he got
the jitters out. Let's see how he does. This could
be a great week for him. I'll tell you where

(01:20:34):
I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be at the basement in Sagamore.
Rob me too, d doing the finals for the UH.
We do the Coxhaut pregames, we do the bud Light
Football face off. We're gonna send somebody to Vegas. So
I'm getting right back into town on Sunday and I'm
going straight to the basement. So come out and hang
with us. It's three to five. If you aren't one

(01:20:54):
of our finalists already, we're gonna be looking for alternates.
Not everybody shows up, that's a given. So could out
there to Vegas. So if you go to WMMS dot com,
the info will be there. But I will see you
on Sunday starting at three at the Basement Sagamore, Aurora
area out there, been there before, great spot.

Speaker 11 (01:21:14):
And they've got the Raiders this week. Yeah, the Raiders,
and that's I mean, it's only a four point spread.
Browns are getting four, so that's actually I mean, look,
they're not freaked out by seeing him start. I mean
the over under is thirty seven and a half, so
they aren't expecting a barn Burner of a scoring game either.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
But should be a good one two, two and eight.
Teams should like that guy who makes fun of me
and that.

Speaker 12 (01:21:43):
My show sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Yeah like that. I'm rooting for that kid.

Speaker 10 (01:21:52):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
You gotta root for somebody. Throw a dart at a
Cleveland Brown and root for them. He is the forty
second starting quarter back in the last two years. Oh
well no, what was it? Was it since ninety nine?

Speaker 6 (01:22:05):
Some like that?

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
Yeah, I mean, you see people walking around with the
homemade jerseys with all the names crossed out, you know,
going back to Tim Couch. It's crazy, it's pretty wild.
Uh yeah. So anyway, there's a there is a hello,
there is a deep dive conspiracy theory there. And with

(01:22:27):
the Ducks. I was just trying to find what it was.
I think it's forty two since ah ninety nine. Yeah,
Brown's qbs a lot of them. Yeah, sixty eight quarterbacks.
Since nineteen fifty, the Browns have had sixty eight quarterbacks
start at least one game, all right, so that makes
sense sense, So forty two since ninety nine after resuming

(01:22:50):
play in ninety nine following the suspension of you know
when they went to Baltimore or whatever. From ninety nine
through twenty twenty five, the team has had forty one
players start at quarterback. And that's now Schadur's forty two. Yeah,
with only with only three seasons in which the same
quarterback started every game, one season with Tim Couch, two

(01:23:11):
seasons with Baker Mayfield. That decision is looking really good
now with a Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 11 (01:23:16):
Yeah, he's getting another kid on the way by on
his on his instagrams. Congratulations the Mayfield family, right.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
Baker Mayfield, happy to see him, listen, good for him, Right,
he's no Jacoby Brissett. Uh yeah, just looking at some
of these names because I've been here since nine and
so it was Brady Quinn when I got here, yep,
And I'm like, oh my god, I forgot. We had
Jake DeLoone, Colton McCoy, remember that, Corn pone. H Brandon

(01:23:47):
Whedon Again, I don't even know if he's got Brandon
Whedon doesn't even play in the NFL anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:23:55):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
Most of those guys that you're gonna name off that
won't don't right. Brian Hole It was a big deal
at the time because he was from Lakewood, went to
Saint Ignatius.

Speaker 11 (01:24:04):
We had him on the Bears for a couple of
he was a couple of Super Bowls with the Patriots. Yeah,
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put that out there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Some of these names I don't know at all. Jason Campbell, Okay,
went to Auburn, my dad's alma mater. But I don't
know that name. Connor Shaw RG three was here for
a hot Cup.

Speaker 11 (01:24:29):
Uh yeah, hey, I mean basically, if there's anybody in
the league that is a backup quarterback.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
They've probably walked through.

Speaker 15 (01:24:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
Well, congratulations my buddy Bruce greg Kowski. He and I
go way back. He was here for like a couple
of touches. Yeah, well, congratulations to all those people. Deshaun Kaiser,
who he's the aid of the Kaiser probably an anti
fatch health cam money he gets hurt, it doesn't come

(01:25:05):
you talk about one thing. It doesn't come out of pocket.
That dude's loaded, got that health care money.

Speaker 23 (01:25:13):
Hey, Rob, I was just messaging to find out if
you head seeing the news story about the scientist that
crossed DNA between a cheetah and a crab. I guess
it went sideways real.

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
Fast, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
He is son of a man. That guy's on to
oy oh boy, stop himself sideways real fast? Come on, Yeah,
I don't hate it.

Speaker 15 (01:25:44):
A bunch of ass, all.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
Right, listen, Grandma Grima, it's not the time, thank you.
Maybe she's still talking about the Browns quarterback. I elected
a bunch of them, speaking of the Pacific Northwest, because
I was rattling off one of our bureau chiefs out
there in Olympia, Washington. One guy out there, he has
an entirely new strain of bird flu. Congratulations, there's a

(01:26:10):
guy out there. Yep, fantastic. A strain of bird flu
that has never been detected in humans is in a
guy's body out there in the Pacific Northwest. Awesome recently
became infected with H five N five. This is western

(01:26:31):
Washington state. And uh, this is a guy who's probably
out there in the sticks. And you know a lot
of other boxes are checked, sure, older other health conditions, right,
but if something's gonna get you, it's gonna be this.
So it's not like somebody who's like the picture of health.
But they said that it was notable because they had

(01:26:53):
never seen this type of bird flu in a person. Well,
the scary thing is that's sexually transmit that's the craziest part. Gee,
how'd you make that connection?

Speaker 15 (01:27:09):
Einstein?

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
All right, thank you sir. Anyway, so people are getting
sexually transmitted bird rob is that what you Yes, we
had a good run. It was good. Slap slap slapping
sounds was fun. Alan Brandon Whedon was like a thirty

(01:27:31):
year old rookie. Is that true? I mean, yeah, I
don't know. I don't know anything about these guys when
they come through. I remember the names.

Speaker 6 (01:27:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
Back in the day when I first came to Cleveland,
we were running Browns games, and so every Friday I
would have the core. Well, i'd have a player on
the show, so I'd have to do a lot of
research to make it sound like I knew what I
was talking about, to make it sound like I cared,
And invariably I would talk to a bunch of those
different guys. What are you going to do this week?

Speaker 7 (01:28:02):
Up?

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Play football? Now, I'm gonna have to get out there
and make sure we get more points than the other team.
All right, great, well, good luck out here next week.
Say you next week. All the standard you know responses
to the dumb questions I would have. But the cheetah
and the crab? Is that what he said? One sideways

(01:28:23):
real fast? All right, we can't argue with science. Well,
a lot of science does lie. Sometimes science is a liar.
Sometimes it's true too. By the way, I'm gonna take
this opportunity in the break the fact check him. I
don't believe for a second, Rob that the DNA spliced

(01:28:44):
a cheetah and a crab sounds like an abomination to me.
I think anything's possible in today's world Manling.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
Car Show on one that part of your brain that
regulates good to see. Thanks for turning that one off
and turning on the Alan Cox Show.

Speaker 7 (01:29:07):
Sorry about all the cocks, Sorry about all the cocks
you m ms.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Hey, what makes a murder?

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
Is the power in this hound? Isn't his question? Do
we give it all?

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
You've got time to pay too, that time so we
can know your story.

Speaker 15 (01:30:02):
Down your.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
International Men's Day today, Rob, all right? You know, for
people who don't get recognize the other three hundred and
sixty four days out of the year, a day of
global awareness, Rob. For men, we don't get enough attention
men's health issues, men's health issues including abuse, including homelessness,

(01:30:27):
and suicide and violence. If you're a Scott Galloway acolyte,
you're only two familiar with all this. International Men's Day
every November nineteenth, also an occasion to celebrate men and
boys for their achievements and contributions in areas like marriage

(01:30:48):
and childcare. Once in a while, he'll change a diaper,
and so a big day. Big day for NAMBLA and MAGA.
Let's be real, they're just different points on the PERV curve.
So yeah, International Men's Day. I was reading about how
they snapped up one of these Ice dudes in some

(01:31:09):
big sex trafficking sting and they scooped him up and
he tried to tell the cops I'm Ice, as though
they couldn't put the cuffs on him, so they had
some another one of these big this was in Minnesota.
Sixteen guys were scooped up and something that they called

(01:31:32):
Operation Creep. Okay, I really hit the nail on the
hat with that. One focused on identifying people who were
looking to purchase sex from a seventeen year old girl, who,
of course it with me, was an undercover cop much
more than Creep. In that particular, one of the guys arrested.
When he was arrested, he told the cops, I'm with
Ice boys. I guess thinking that that was going to

(01:31:55):
they were going, oh, all right, gee, who'd have thought
that creating a stop oh where nobody is vetted would
go sideways weird? So yeah, Alexander Back, a forty one
year old guy from Robbinsdale, Minnesota, as the guy who
tried to say I'm with Ice and you can't arrest me,

(01:32:17):
and they said.

Speaker 4 (01:32:18):
Yeah we can.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
We're going to anyway. M hm, so yeah, as part
of Now, I'm sure it's coincidental that it happened on
International Men's Day, but listen for the guy in your life,
and there are people, to be sure, who will say

(01:32:40):
that guys men have an outsized influence and society life
in the world, and they would not be wrong. There
are biological imperatives at play. But you know, listen Father's Day, Rob,
Nobody complains about Father's Day. Well, some people complain about
Father's Yeah, I mean, what is her to complain about

(01:33:03):
Father's Day? Yeah, Well, it's a tough putt to coin
one of your phrases because guys don't really care. Mother's
Day is a big deal, right, Mother's Day? I think again,
a lot of people are missing the boat on Mother's Day,
where what she wants is to be left alone. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:33:22):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
The greatest thing that you can give your wife or
girlfriend or you know, if she's a mother, is you go.
We are gonna get gone for like forty eight hours.
Then you do whatever, right, run with your girls, do
whatever you want to do. You don't have to make
a macaroni necklace. Leave her alone Father's Day. What do

(01:33:44):
you do for Mother's day, you take your wife to
like brunch and all that. No, no, you leave her alone. Yeah,
I mean I usually get her stuff. Yeah, you leave
her alone. I usually ask what she wants to do. Yeah,
but that's putting it on her. Do you have anything?
You will say, this is what I'm saying, And then
they go, oh, so I have to come up with
it from you go no, no, no, I'm leaving you alone.

(01:34:04):
And then I go, we'll hear nothing but your own
voice in this house for forty eight hours. And then
I go, and this is why I don't talk. And
then I leave the room and I leave her alone anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:34:14):
Uh hah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Yeah, And again, in no way criticisms of the situation.
I'm saying that there's a lot of people who don't
understand that a lot of times women want to be
left alone. Now saying for guys, but you know, yeah,
but guys can't say it like I could say it
all the time.

Speaker 11 (01:34:34):
I could never say I just want to be left alone.
Why I leave me alone? Because I don't. I don't
leave me alone.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
I mean, there's a there are diplomatic ways to put it,
but there's no reason you can't say i'd like to
be by myself. Yeah, I wouldn't probably say that really yeah,
probably not. Now why is that? I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:34:49):
I feel like it's if it's dick like, if my
kids are there, and if it's like Father's Day or whatever,
and they wanted to like do something with me, like
what do you want for Father's Dy'm like be by myself.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
They'd be like, hear what a dickhead? Like, Like they
wouldn't want it, Like, but they asked you, No, I know,
they asked you. I know, but they would not expect
that to be my answer, you know what I mean, Like,
I don't know I would I would err on the
side of not saying that.

Speaker 6 (01:35:14):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
It is different for me because my older kids did
not grow up with me, right, so it wasn't like
we were in you know. If they I would usually
see them for Father's Day, right, they would come to
wherever I was living or I would go there, So
we would always spend Father's Day together. But it always
felt a little strange because they were growing up with

(01:35:34):
their mom, so it was Mother's Day was a much
bigger deal as it should have been. Sure, but so
Father's Day to me, it was always if nothing happens.
That's fine where I know, it's not the case for everybody.
So you couldn't if your daughter's and I understand what
you're saying. But as a thought experiment, sure your daughter said, Dad,

(01:35:58):
what would you like for Father's Day?

Speaker 21 (01:36:00):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Huh? You couldn't say a day to myself for you
little guys to not be here. Well, no, no, a
day to myself, like I'm gonna go to the movies,
or I'm gonna go put some guys I wanna go play. No,
see a lot of guys do it. They go, I'm
playing golf. I guess maybe if I played golf, maybe
they wouldn't care. But like for me to say, I
don't know, I want to go watch a movie by myself,
I think they would take offense to that for sure.

(01:36:22):
And by the way, you golfers should have never reproduced
in the first place. Let's stop the bloodline where it stands, right,
you break grow up?

Speaker 11 (01:36:29):
Yeah, I would be They would definitely be like not mad,
would be taken hur back. Yes, I think they would
be hurt that I would like.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Okay, well, obviously if you know they would be hurt,
it's not something you would do. No, I'm just saying
that if people ask you what would you like, if
they already have a set stereotypical thing in their head,
that's what that's like. A that's a them problem, not
a you problem.

Speaker 11 (01:36:56):
Sure, but they also know that, like, because I don't
like to do anything and I don't ever like to
go anywhere, they know that I love to spend time
with them when they're around, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
So like they know that I'd be like, what do
you want to do on Father's Day?

Speaker 4 (01:37:10):
Dad?

Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
Well, I don't know. I'd probably like to throw something
on the smoker and hang out with you guys, okay,
And that would kind of be it. And they would
do their own thing all day long, and then we'd
have dinner and like nothing structured, but like, hey, at
the end of the day, I'm gonna putter around the house. Yeah,
I'll probably disappear into the bathroom a couple of times.
Don't ask what I'm good, sit down, don't talk to
me while I'm in there, and then we'll reconvene early

(01:37:33):
evening and figure things out. Yeah, gather around the familial table.
I think that's exactly what it would be. And I
do think that they would be. If I was, I
think I'm gonna just do something by myself today, they'd
be like, wait, what, hold on, Squezzy, where's Dad. I'll
give you two guesses that is. And I'm always a

(01:37:57):
podjet like at the movie with that sort of stuff too,
Like I don't ever I try not to ever fart
or anything. I know, so it's like I'm always apologetic
when even that stuff happens. Like if I sit down
and do one of those loud ones, I'd be like, sorry, sorry,
you're apologizing in your own home. Sorry. Like, if I
sit down and do it you like that, you know,

(01:38:18):
are those loud parts, I'll be like, sorry, it's my day,
it's Father's day, that's any day. I want to fart
in front of all of you all day. That's what
I want. That's what I want. Yeah, I want to
fart freely in my house. Yes, in your faces. Whatever
I wanted to be, you'd have to be egregious. But
I mean, like I want to. I don't want to
pucker all day long, right, I want.

Speaker 11 (01:38:38):
To it's a fart freely, yes, I mean that would
probably be I think they would like that more than
if I was to say I wanted to spend a
day by myself.

Speaker 4 (01:38:48):
Girls.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
Uh, there's a red pill and a blue pill. Okay,
the red pill is I'm by myself. The blue pill
is you're with me, but I'm farting all day long.
Red pill? Yeah, oh, dad, did you have more squeezable graythee?

Speaker 10 (01:39:07):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:39:08):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
That's our dad, He's been eaten healthy.

Speaker 6 (01:39:11):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
Yeah. Speaking of of orifices, the guy called earlier and
said that his friend had found a shoe box, you know,
with like a butt plug or something the size of
a whaling harpoon something like that. I was reading a
story about the headline was a little bit at least
as I read, it was a little misleading, and they

(01:39:34):
were like a dad put a lot of matches in
an orifice to break a record. And I was like, oh,
oh it was up his nose. Oh again, that was
me assuming that it was going to be more you know,
scatological than it was. A Swedish guy, Well, I'll tell
you what. This is what happens when you don't have

(01:39:57):
to worry about going broke if you get sick. Right,
these countries were every year they do what are the
happiest countries in the world. No shock, we're near the
bottom because you can go broke if you get sick
in this country, Sweden, Finland, all these you know, all
these other countries that have you know, national medicine or whatever.

(01:40:19):
They're fine. They're looking for things to do, and they
probably all spend their Father's Day by themselves. Yes, Faza,
how would you like to spend Father's Day? I'd like
you to alone, make me a giant batch of Fighergen
Flugen and then we'll eat it together. I'll be in
the den sticking matches up my nose. Yes, I don't

(01:40:45):
feel well. Well. At least we won't lose our house
like you will in this country. At least we want Yeah.
So in these kinds of countries, they've got a lot
of time to do things. Martin's Stroby of Sweden got
in the Guinness Book for sticking a record number of
matches up his nose. Lame eighty one. This is a

(01:41:10):
forty two year old man. He was trying to impress
his kids. Well, if you got to do anything for
any reason, I guess if you're trying to impress your kids,
maybe your kids are too easily impressed Dan, What would
you like for Father's Day? I'd like to impress you
with all the matches I can put in my nose.
And when I'm done with that, Honey finds this mizlestick.

(01:41:35):
Don't ask where the other ones in the box went to,
like those long ones next to fireplace, not the tiny
little ones. The sounding rods, oh, sounding rods, the flint tickles.
His kids fascinated with the Guinness Book of World Records,

(01:41:57):
and he said he'd decided to focus on a category
that he thought was in reach. The most matches held
in the nose is what he landed on, a record
that at the time stood at sixty eight. So a
very decisive victory for this guy. But the other guy
who held the record was from another one of these countries,

(01:42:18):
a guy from Denmark until this guy, until Martin Stroby
came along. After a few trial runs, he realized he
could tolerate the discomfort and did it good for him.
The main challenge, he said, was keeping the matches from
falling out. Why are there no pictures tell me that? Well, okay,

(01:42:40):
there's one, Ah, there's a guy with it. There, he
is there, he is eighty one matches into his nostrils.
You already got to have sizeable nostrils right at that point,
you're not going to like you got to have some
girthy nose holes. And I don't. I could never do that, don't.
I have very tight nostrils, and they're different sized. I

(01:43:02):
have like two differently nostrils. Y's weird, different size, well,
but nobody's truly symmetrical, right, Like I have one eyelid,
this is a little drippery in the other one. Yeah, okay, guys,
it's weird. Well, this guy stuck eighty one. He's got
the Guinness World Record. Now, I bet I don't have

(01:43:23):
a booger. I didn't even think about that before he
shoved my nose in the camera. I bet I'm a
snot hanging.

Speaker 10 (01:43:28):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:43:28):
The trouble too, with something like this is that somebody
else is going to come along and beat your record,
right right, And you just spent all this time jamming
matches up your nose? What are you doing for Father's Day?
Dit training? But next time I have to break the
record eighty one matches somebody comes along just because the
last record was sixty eight, so he you know, decisive

(01:43:50):
victory goes from sixty eight eighty two. The next guy,
all he's gonna do is stick one more match in
his nose and he's got the record. Son of them
bitch going back and forth. I have to do this again.
This is why I hate the Danes over there, just
trying to break nose match records. Can't you let me

(01:44:12):
have this? His kids were way into the Guinness World
Record Book and they told him it would be quote
so cool if he broke a record of his own,
and he was He's self aware. He goes, I'm not
really good at anything enough to be the best in
the world. But then they show them all these kind
of arcane records, you know, and we've talked about that.
They're like, they have really weird records, but you still

(01:44:36):
have to have the Guinness people come out and verified
so you can come up with something. That's why I'm
always fascinated by what they turned down. Like there's one
for most balloons popped by a dog in sixty seconds,
you know that kind of stuff. So you're like, Jesus,
what do you guys turned down? The Guinness people come
out go, no, that's too dumb. Is that happens too?

(01:44:57):
They didn't turn this guy down, and so so he
starts looking for what he thought was a suitable one,
and he landed it. Matches in the nose and keeping
them in there was the toughest part doing trial. Well,
you'd have to do like a big batch of them,
right and jam them up there. Yeah, you'd have to
do a ton first, right, Yeah, start with like twenty

(01:45:18):
or so. As a father, he says, I want my
children to look up to me in the same way
that I look up to my father, who has taught
me more than I can write down. Now that's a
nice sentiment, right, best night. I've learned so much from
my father. Sure it wasn't match nostril related. Yeah, but
this is why it's good to have maybe one or

(01:45:40):
two things you're really good at, so you're not relegated
to this trying to impress your kids. Faso, Why don't
you know how to do anything practical?

Speaker 26 (01:45:51):
You'll no good to anything, because I've been spending my
life trying to shove matchbook sticks up my nostrils. Anytime
we get sick with fine, yeah, nothing happens, nothing happens
at all, but buoying existence.

Speaker 2 (01:46:06):
In America, people get the common cold and they end
up living on the street and die. So Alan, I'm
saying right here, our own audience, currently working on getting
eighty three matches into my nose just to one of them.
This is what I'm talking about. They never never let
anyone stop you from following your bliss. Just make sure

(01:46:30):
you get the right ones, you know what I mean,
because you don't want to get eighty three in there
and then be like, Nope, those aren't regulation matches. Yep.
Maybe Rob has a deviated septum. Listen, Rob is a
deviant in many ways? Do you really I do?

Speaker 11 (01:46:46):
From all the coconine hatters back in the day. No,
if I broke my nose when I was a kid,
I had. I had it fixed not long ago. But
it still doesn't affect the size of my nostrils. That
just stays that way. But I did I broke my
nose when I was a kid. It didn't heal right, Wow,
I had.

Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
Surgery on it. Like is it? I thought deviated septim
was there as a hole in the middle. No, deviated
septim is your nose is all crooked, isn't it? I
thought a deviated septum is like when people do a
lot of coke and it burns a hole through the septum.
I don't think you're just talking about uh. I mean,
you might be right, but I thought that's what it was.
That's what they told me.

Speaker 11 (01:47:17):
I had m I did do a lot of drugs,
and then when I was four, the wall of cartilage
and bone is off center, making one side of the
nose smaller than the other.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
Oh that's all it is. Yeah, I thought people, well,
I guess maybe it's something else. But when people talk
about DV exceptum, I thought they were talking about like
like what already had in his nose, like collapse. Yeah,
you know, yeah, people do a ton of coke and
they like end up burning a hole in there. This
was just I just had to have my nose fixed.
You know. They went in and they cut out a
whole bunch of stuff and rebroke.

Speaker 11 (01:47:47):
It and then said it wow, because I used I
would snore like crazy, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
What I mean. Oh, so it's just when it's off center,
Like yeah, I didn't know that. Oh, I thought it
was there was a hole in there. Mm hm, Oh
that's all it is.

Speaker 15 (01:48:05):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:48:05):
I think they had had a big surgery done. Oh,
a perforated septum. Oh, I have been conflating the two things.
I had no idea that it was just off center
was the I mean, it makes sense if you think
of what they call it. But okay, nasal collapse, perforated
septum or other deformities from chronic long term cocaine use, Yeah,

(01:48:31):
that I don't. I never got into coke. It's it's
a damn good thing. Yeah, but everybody loves it.

Speaker 11 (01:48:37):
They very very easy. There's a reason people get addicted
to it. Well, sure, it's the greatest thing on the place.
I never talked to one person. It was like, eh,
I didn't. They're like it was a great at the
time of my life.

Speaker 2 (01:48:49):
Sure it is. I still like stuff in my nose.
I know you can do it other ways, but that's
more labor intensive. Okay, deviated septum, rob anthony, and probably
recated septum.

Speaker 11 (01:49:01):
Yeah, probably the biggest reason. I was never a nose
picker too, because I can't really do it. I can't
really get.

Speaker 2 (01:49:07):
In my nose to pi. You gotta you gotta really go.

Speaker 4 (01:49:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:49:10):
I just don't have the Plus, my nostrils are small,
big hands. Time getting them in there. The best I
can do is like a little thumb in the corner,
like if you got a little snot in the front.
That's the best I can do for picking. I'm not
a picker.

Speaker 2 (01:49:24):
Our buddy Ethan out there in Rochester who lives a
wild life like cocaine. He said, I have a deviated
septum from having a great face for punches, but no
holes from the coke. Yeah, he's well, okay, but he's
living a charm life thus far. Right. Oh yeah, it's
not like he's a nineteen year old dude. No, how
about that. He's like, Hey, the septum still intact, unperforated,

(01:49:50):
just off center.

Speaker 6 (01:49:53):
Mm.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
And yes, for all the people asking, I am playing
Nasal Collapse on two hours to midnight on Saturday, our
two hour metal show here on the buzzard Nasal Collapse.
Oh yeah, uh okay, Actually we are playing a band
called you'll like this. It's not Rocket Nope, bog sugar. Well,

(01:50:16):
we're playing piss Rot. Okay, all right. Song is called
fetal Septic Tank. Okay, so you'll enjoy that, I hope.
Is it piss rot? One word piss rot, piss rot.
You want to taste do I want to taste piss
rot Oh the band?

Speaker 6 (01:50:36):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
I don't know where they're from, but it doesn't really matter,
does it. They're from Mama Piss Rock. This is a
Corey Rotick pick for this week. Yeah, oh man, I
think it just moved. The Allen Cox Show on.

Speaker 4 (01:50:56):
Call The Allen Cox Show.

Speaker 2 (01:50:58):
Is that what you want to do about it?

Speaker 6 (01:51:00):
Alan Once divorcing them.

Speaker 10 (01:51:03):
Broken six seven eight one double o seven or eight
one double oh seven.

Speaker 19 (01:51:24):
Saying my.

Speaker 4 (01:51:31):
Lawn way wrong? Nothing, I know what's going.

Speaker 2 (01:51:50):
I assume this is a mashup, right, I don't think
said I really ask? Yeah, has really missed something in
the Slip Knot Spice Girls catalogue. Speaking of which, by
the way, slip Knot is the latest band to sell
their catalog. This is when bands want to cash out, right,
because they're like, look, the business ain't what he used

(01:52:10):
to be. Let's get our money while we can still
make money from touring and things like that. For your
music catalog can be used for anything, and it really
runs the gamut. Slip Knot is selling their music catalog
for one hundred and twenty million dollars. It's not even
record labels anymore. You sell them to like an e
private equity firm, and then you know, they have their

(01:52:33):
tendrils in a lot of areas and so they can
do whatever they want to.

Speaker 4 (01:52:38):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
I can't imagine that the Slipknot catalog is going to
have as broad if an application in the market as
like you know, Michael Jackson or The Who or any
of these other bands. But one hundred and twenty million
dollars is pretty good. That's like, you know, that band's
been around for probably thirty thirty five years. They've sold

(01:52:59):
a majority stake in their music catalog, so that's not
even all of it includes both publishing and recorded royalties.
The deal is worth roughly one hundred and twenty million.
Of course, here's the downside. There's so many people in
that band. They each get seven thousand dollars. Yeah and yeah,

(01:53:23):
so that's good news for them. Corey Taylor and Sean
Crahan and all these guys. They've lost a couple of
dudes along the way, right, and Paul gray Dye and
one or two people over the years died on a Slipknot.
Just saw them at incarceration past summer. It was their

(01:53:43):
only United States show and It took me a while
to realize what was going on, because I was, like, Jesus,
there's a lot of kids walking around in slip Knot
gear and things like that, right, So I'm like, clearly
their parents brought him. But I had forgotten that if
you were a Slipknot fan and you wanted to see
them last year, you had to go to Incarceration. Oh

(01:54:05):
that's right. That was the only thing that was their
only Yeah, North American date, I believe was incarceration. And
they're great, So that's awesome. Even if they're not one
of your favorite bands. They're certainly not one of my
favorite bands, but they're great live and uh, they bring it. Boy,
those guys aren't Spring chickens. You know, their own kids
are in other bands. This same private equity firm is

(01:54:30):
the one that recently bought a steak in Kelly Clarkson's catalog.
I don't know how much of that cost. One hundred
and twenty dollars. Yeah, but she's got I mean, I
know we like to poke fun guns. Yeah, slip Knot
have no tour dates scheduled for twenty twenty six.

Speaker 11 (01:54:49):
I bet you probably even more than one hundred and
twenty million for Kelly Clarkson's because it's so much more
mass appeal.

Speaker 2 (01:54:54):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like, you know, the less Yeah,
she's doing them wayfair.

Speaker 4 (01:55:01):
Ads.

Speaker 2 (01:55:01):
Does she still have the talk show? I think Kelly
Clarkson says it means everything that her legacy will continue
after selling a steak in her catalog. Financial terms of
the deal were not publicly disclosed. That means it's a lot,
a lot of money, more than one hundred and twenty
million dollars. Now Bieber had to sell his catalog basically, right,

(01:55:25):
Justin Bieber was like, I don't know if he lost
his money in bad investments. I don't know if Scooter
or Braun hoovered it up. I don't know. But Justin
Bieber had to sell his music catalog. Now sold it
for two hundred million dollars. He's not going to be
eating cat food anytime soon. No, none of these people
are going broke. But it is kind of a It

(01:55:47):
is an interesting, relatively modern development that artists are like,
time for me to cash out. My legacy of making
music is secure. I don't care what you'd do with
it now. Right, remember when all of Prince's family members,
both real and imagined, came forward, all wanting a piece.

(01:56:10):
They couldn't wait to sell Prince's music for every friggin
thing on the planet. Yeah, insurance companies and swiffers.

Speaker 10 (01:56:17):
And you know.

Speaker 2 (01:56:20):
Kelly Clarkson doing a Las Vegas residency. If you want
to go to Vegas, I got a trip for it
in Abou four or five minutes by the way, not Vegas.
I'm sorry, La. We did you know, Rob, We do
sell any festivals here at I aren't, none of which
we've ever been invited to, not to one, uh the
alter Ego festivals, the big one coming up in January,

(01:56:41):
that is in La. Maybe if we came up with
alter egos, they would invite us. Oh like if you
if we win as that country duo. What was my
oh Tumbleweed Dan and I forget what somebody named me, but.

Speaker 11 (01:56:56):
I could be your trustee sidekick belong on some stupid
Rado station probably called.

Speaker 2 (01:57:01):
The Bull l Rattler de Clitt that was your.

Speaker 11 (01:57:07):
Cli and Tumbleweed Dan and the Rattler that'd be they
would totally uh where would the bull in Seattle?

Speaker 8 (01:57:18):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:57:18):
Cool, guys here we used to be part of the
fifth show. I can't believe you guys haven't been invited yet.
All right, well we're damned excited to get down there,
and not for Alter Ego though, that would be the
country Festival. Well, we can anything. We can just say
we want to. Those guys go to everything. Actually, they
might like it more because it would be cross genre talent. Jean, Yeah, alright, Toboy,

(01:57:42):
Diana Rattler clip made it. Alter Ego Man, we're.

Speaker 12 (01:57:46):
Going down We're gonna have a good old timey hey
man Ego say that had a Bobby Bones over.

Speaker 2 (01:57:52):
Here's the thing though, Bobby Bones isn't that guy, right,
He's a top forty guy that they basically jammed into
the country format and try to make him a thing. Okay, fair,
business is business. But I think the deeper cut is
if we don't sound like that at all. We're a
very far as they know, or a very popular country

(01:58:14):
music morning show. Okay, but we're like Hillary, this is Tumbleweed,
Dan and Rattler, and we do a very popular country
music show in Topeka, Kansas. We'd love to be invited
to the the Alter Ego Festival this year. We would

(01:58:35):
be a lovely lovely, lovely time for us. Now, why
we're British, I don't know, but that's f started. So
I figured that's slicky. That's what I'm saying. I don't
know why we are. I could change. I could be
not a brit I could be I don't know, Ryan,
what do you.

Speaker 12 (01:58:49):
Think Actually I'm Scottish and that they need right.

Speaker 2 (01:58:54):
That doesn't help. It's probably not gonna help a lot. Yeah, well,
it's something to think about, something to consider. Yeah, alter egos.
I think that's gonna work for us. That's how we're
gonna get invited. That we would have to mind you
within our own company. Yeah, we would have to purport

(01:59:14):
to be two different people. Yeah. Yeah, Well, the more
vexing thing to me is listen, uh, not being invited
or not being offered tickets or whatever. Okay, fine, fine.
The more vexing thing to me is what I've offered
to buy them and have received no response. Did you?

(01:59:34):
Did you ask about it? This year? Every year, I go, guys,
I will buy tickets. I'll get myself out there, I'll
put myself up. I'm a grown ass man. I'd like
to go to the event. How about a couple of
tickets for your boy. I sent them a I think
I think. Did Amy talk to you boy? It's not
her fault. No, I know, but has she mentioned it

(01:59:56):
to you? I talked to her about it. Don't know
that you Okay, all right? But I'm always like, hey,
I guys, I'll do you know, email me a link
and I'll buy them this. Here's Tumbleweed, Dan.

Speaker 4 (02:00:10):
And L.

Speaker 2 (02:00:12):
I told them a couple of years ago. This is
how much I knew. Not only was I not going
to be offered tickets, but they actively didn't want me there.
Now I say this, I'm not even on their radar.
They don't even know who I am. Fine, that's fine.
I even said, hey, if they need me to do
like correspondent type stuff, right, they might need some voices
and extra arms on site or whatever. I'm like, I'm

(02:00:34):
happy to help out with that kind of stuff as
well to work for free. Nothing. Yeah, man, I get it.
So you know all of our LA counterparts, and I
get it. It's right in their backyard. I understand that
we're in Cleveland. I understand. It's just that the way

(02:00:55):
that this particular market just to pull the curtain back
a little bit in the big picture of this entire company,
the way that this particular market really helps to prop
up some of the bigger ones between this show and
RMG and you know, all of the personalities under our
roof in Cleveland. We're kind of the secret weapon in

(02:01:16):
the company, right yeah, you boy, you'd never know it.
You would never know it. And you know what, that's fine,
it's fine. I am not in this for tickets to shows.
All I'm saying is to illustrate. I've told them I
will buy these nothing anyway. Right now, I want to

(02:01:40):
send one of our listeners to LA. Maybe that's how
magnanimous we are, Rob, Maybe they'll take you. Nope, I
am no one's plus one. Ellen. What about Tumbleweed Dan
and the Cowardly Bryan? That could work, But then you'd
have to take Brian not me, because Brian sounded like
was it Barry Manilow? Where he sounded like the cowardly Lion?
Was that the one looks fuck? We made it?

Speaker 19 (02:02:06):
So we show.

Speaker 2 (02:02:10):
Yeah, that's where they say it sound like I would
show come push lovely?

Speaker 24 (02:02:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:02:26):
Yeah, all right, thank you god. How many times Rob's
alter ego was west Bestern Yes it was yeah, yeah, Westter,
West Bestern, tumblewee Dan and west Bestern. We can always
count on the audience to lock these little nuggets away.
We're here, thank you nuggets, I mean turns. We've arrived.

Speaker 11 (02:02:48):
We're we're ready to attend the festival and out there
in l A at the Key Forum.

Speaker 4 (02:02:55):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
So here's Dan and Shay. Yeah, Luke Brian's on the radio.

Speaker 4 (02:03:04):
Nah.

Speaker 2 (02:03:06):
Well uh yeah, it's okay, but I will have another
trip for you tomorrow. Oh have you seen the Mario
Lopez A boy, Mario Lopez, you want to talk about
just you know, taking care of your paper? Mario Lopez.

(02:03:26):
We played you the clip of an advertisement that's running
a lot on our podcasts if you listen on the app,
and it was funny to us. It was brought to
our attention. I don't hear the ads really on the app.
It's brought to our attention by the people who do
listen on the app, and they were like, Wow, there's
this Mario Lopez ad he does for DHS Department of
Homeland Security. That's a real hard pivot and so we

(02:03:48):
were kind of having fun with that. Right, Hey, what's
up at Mario Lopez?

Speaker 4 (02:03:51):
Back to school?

Speaker 7 (02:03:52):
It's an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming,
and kids may feel isolated vulnerability that human traffickers can.

Speaker 2 (02:03:59):
Exploit, Right, guys, human traffickers are out there. And then
Mario Lopez called us left us a message apparently because
maybe he was perturbed. I don't know, Alan Mario Lopez.

Speaker 4 (02:04:10):
Here.

Speaker 14 (02:04:11):
The holidays are just around the corner, and it's a
wonderful time to spend time with family and friends and
give thanks, but it's also the time of the year
where most people commit suicide.

Speaker 2 (02:04:23):
Jesus quest. He's trying to keep informed. Rob Anyway, you
might have seen the ad. I saw it in Reddit,
but it's like all over the place. He's doing ads
for this like debt relief company called AmeriCorps, and they
put out a big press release about it. You know,
Mario Lopez of Access Hollywood. Now, I didn't even know

(02:04:44):
he was part of that. It's not a show I watch,
but yeah, he's he's all over the place now, so
I don't know if he's doing Maybell. Will hear one
of those ads. Mario Lopez teams up with this company
to help American consumers get out of debt. It's called AMERICRPS,

(02:05:05):
not to be confused with the NGO called amer Corps
providing that's even still around. But he's showing for a
financial services Now. Is he a guy who's widely known
to be good with money or is he just like
a handsome face. I mean that's fine to face. Okay,
that's fine too, he's that guy. Yeah, Hey, guys, it's

(02:05:26):
Mario Lopez. You know, thousands of American families find themselves
burdened with financial debt. A lot of American kidnappers find
themselves burdened with a small, lifeless body in the back
of their windowless van. Dude, it's so good. I just
love He's like back to school such a good time.
Everybody loves it, and then sometimes people get trafficked. Well,

(02:05:49):
it's funny because we're so far beyond back to school time.
What's funny that it's still running. Yes, but that's no surprise.
That happens all the time. Here. Hey, what's up. It's
Mario Lopez.

Speaker 4 (02:06:00):
Back to school.

Speaker 7 (02:06:00):
It's an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming,
and kids may feel isolated of vulnerability that human traffickers
can exploit.

Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
What Well, listen, you don't want anyone exploiting children. Now,
I mean people who aren't, you know, currently running the country.
You don't want people exploiting children, least of all one
Mario Lopez. He's still married to that. He had like

(02:06:29):
a hot actress wife for a while. Wasn't he married
to Ali?

Speaker 4 (02:06:32):
God?

Speaker 2 (02:06:32):
Who was he married to? Not Ali Larder? She's on
land Man? Who was the other Ali? Ali Landry? Wasn't
there an actress named Ali Landry that he was married to? Right? Yeah,
they're still married Ali Landry? Oh God, No, they were
married for like a few months in two thousand and four. Well,
this is how little I pay attention to him. But

(02:06:53):
she's lovely. He's married to Courtney Lopez. Well, one of
the odds he'd marry a woman with the exact same
last name, rob Well, Lopez is like Smith. Oh so
it's probably she's from Pittsburgh. I wonder if I cross
paths with her back in the day, Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. Hey, say,
here's my husband, dad, I can remember what accent I'm doing.

Oh my god. I don't know if that's what she
sounded like. But anyway, so, I again haven't heard if
his approach to the AmeriCorps campaign is the same as
his other ones, because they're got me wrong. I like

(02:07:59):
that approach. It's great. I like the pivot that ain't
easy to do. But sign of a real troubadour bae

same way.

Speaker 4 (02:10:45):
It's all very frustrating. The ern Cox Show doubleumms.

Speaker 12 (02:10:54):
We just broke my heart of all greens, and I
cried all the way to see I had heard dispatched
her in your twenty years.

Speaker 15 (02:11:04):
If I'm just like a mule, to kick me right
between my ears.

Speaker 12 (02:11:08):
When she broke my heart and Walgreens, and I cried
all the way to see hers.

Speaker 15 (02:11:14):
There was time when.

Speaker 4 (02:11:16):
I believe that she belonged to me.

Speaker 12 (02:11:19):
She told me that I was only once she had
ever heard these.

Speaker 15 (02:11:24):
That was before this trucker came and took.

Speaker 12 (02:11:27):
Her far arived. Now the thing I can do to
keep her saspat. I didn't know what was going on,
but I knew there was something wrong. Suddenly she'd get
a headache severy time we were alone. When she finally
told me, we were downtown at the mall, and it

(02:11:49):
hit me like a ton of bricks, and I thought
was sure I'd fall.

Speaker 2 (02:11:54):
I grew up around Walgreens, Robson, what was the regional pharmacy.

Speaker 11 (02:11:59):
Chain New England, Walgreens and CBS CBS Walgreens, two big ones.

Speaker 2 (02:12:03):
Yeah, yeah, Walgreens headquarter in Chicago, So that's what we
grew up with. There were CBS around two. It's like
when I lived in Pittsburgh, it was eckered in New
York City, you know, Dwayne Read and all that. Yeah,
and one by one they've gone away, like write eight
and things like that. Walgreens, though, put out a press
release and it went into my inbox since they got bought.
We were talking about how slip Knots sold a majority

(02:12:25):
steak in their their music catalog to a private equity
firm for one hundred and twenty million dollars. Usually when
you get bought up, your company gets bought by a
private equity firm, that's when they start stripping it for parts.
And that's what Walgreens did. Right, they've been having a
hard time. Walgreens sold to a private equity firm. This
article says for ten million dollars. It's supposed to be

(02:12:48):
ten billion. But they very quietly announced that they're going.
I don't know how quiet it is that they put
out a press release, but they very quietly announced that
they will no longer be paying their hourly employees for
vacant oh boy, which they were doing. Now, if you're
a private equity firm, they go, why are we paying
people even if they don't work? They would pay them

(02:13:08):
for a day even if they didn't work. Some people did,
some people didn't. So like Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve,
they are removing that. So these were people that would
make like hundreds of dollars every year for these You know,
cost of living isn't exactly going down, and the people
who got paid an hourly rate will not get vacation

(02:13:31):
pay anymore. They're trying to tighten their belts over there,
and so they've been, you know, shutting down stores. And
a friend of mine who used to work in their
downtown Chicago office, they closed that office. So oh, I
get burt. Sorry boy, my apologies. That's terrible. Those terrible

(02:13:56):
and gross and just impolite. The good news if nobody
knows that's a burp, I'm sorry. The good news is
no one knows that's a burp. I mean, give me
a everybody knows that's a burp. Thing too much, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, dainty. Maybe wow, Okay, see if I can

(02:14:17):
do anyone here, came right out of me, came right
out of me. Goosy and midisps gussy. When's the Guardian's
home opener? I know we're in basketball and football season,
but you started thinking about Guardians baseball. You know they
announced all that stuff. April the third would be the
home opener. That's a Friday against the Chicago Cubs. That

(02:14:40):
is Easter weekend, by the way, So the Guardians will
have their home opener on Good Friday, which hey, I
grew up with that meaning something anyway, Uh, the Guardians
have announced that their games will be on ESPN now
the local broadcasts. Great yea. So they had that Cleveland
Guardians TV for a while, right, because they were dealing

(02:15:03):
with who was running it before. It was something dissolved, right,
that was at the Bally Sports or whatever it was. Right,
something blew up, and so they're like, who's going to
run these? And Major League Baseball announced an agreement with ESPN,
NBC and Netflix. ESPN will be taking over local broadcasts
for the Cleveland Guardians. But aren't people constantly screaming about

(02:15:27):
these agreements and what they cost the fans? Like I
just heard somebody talking about how like YouTube is charging
people more for because none of these deals, none of
these streaming deals, none of these you know, agreements, and
they're never fan forward their profit forward obviously, I mean,

(02:15:52):
but two things can be true. They haven't announced the
prices yet, so they'll tell people, Hey, here's how much
the bundle is gonna cost you. By the way, speaking
of ESPN, I can't wait to get this audio. I
haven't he hasn't sent it to me yet. Our buddy
Mike Cousins, who works for ESPN down in Charlotte and

(02:16:12):
is a fan of this program. He's bounced around a
little bit, but he's a broadcaster of the highest order,
and he hasn't sent me the audio yet. I sent
you the screen grab. Yeah yeah, yeah, uh that somebody
had tweeted out fantastic Ted Knight too close for Comfort
reference from Madison Square Garden by Mike Cousins on ESPN.

(02:16:36):
He's dropping, He's dropping Monroe into the Monroe Monroe. So
he's gonna send me the audio. He hasn't gotten it yet,
but I can't wait to hear that. That's so funny, right,
get our own Baba Booby anyway. Uh so, thank you,

(02:16:56):
Mike with baited breath. Major League Baseball ESPN, which they
simply no way to know what that stands for. But
what does ESPN stand for? Rob It was Eastern Oh god?

Speaker 21 (02:17:13):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:17:13):
Because it started in Bristol, Connecticut, right down the street
from US. Is that any do Jerry spring and all
those shows, now I don't think so? Oh didn't they
didn't they all move? My wife used to work for
Jerry Springer, and when they packed up and left Chicago,
everybody went out to Bristol, Connecticut, and she's like, nope,
oh no, kidding. Yeah, I didn't know that ESPN Eastern

(02:17:35):
Sports penis nuts. I can't believe it, but that's absolutely
I could not, but I would have never guessed penis nuts. Yeah,
I did not think that that's what it was. Yes,
thank you Entertainment and Sports program and Network. Oh boy,

(02:18:01):
that rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it. ESPN's a
lot easier. Yeah, Bristol, Connecticut, I've been there. Place is awesome.
Oh gosh, for you, I hate you so much. Like
it's a huge complex. Yeah, oh yeah, okay, I mean
I know it's much smaller now. They've had tons of

(02:18:22):
cuts over the last couple of years. A guy named
Bill Rasmussen came up with ESPN in the late seventies
after he was fired from his job with the New
England Whalers. How about that. There's an origin story for you.
And they rented office space in Plainville, Connecticut, and then
they started it got to work. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:18:45):
The guy that owned the first radio station I worked
at was an investor in ESPN when it first started.

Speaker 2 (02:18:51):
So he's loaded.

Speaker 10 (02:18:52):
He was.

Speaker 2 (02:18:52):
Yeah, he didn't know ye, indeed, direct TV? What Yeah,
I don't know. I don't have direct TV. Penis nuts. Wow,
people are really blown away by that, Rob. Eastern Seaboard, Penis,
Eastern Sports sports, Penis nuts. Right, okay, Eastern Sports, Penis nuts. Yeah,

(02:19:22):
my fault. I asked, you know what I mean? I did?

Speaker 6 (02:19:26):
Nuts?

Speaker 2 (02:19:30):
Do you ask the perfectly normal question. I gave a
bad answer and you said, that's my fault for asking.
It's my fault. I should know my fault question. Okay,
like it's always your fault as you have any question, Rob,
I should know better. Yeah, nuts.

Speaker 4 (02:19:50):
Nuts call me this due now man cost nuts.

Speaker 10 (02:19:56):
In a ma.

Speaker 2 (02:20:00):
Hey, speaking of hot nuts. You see Pete Davidson's going
to be a dad. Hey, yeah, look at him, Pete Davidson.
Pete right, good for him. He dated Ariana Grande, famously
dated Kate Beckh and Sale, He dated Kim Kardashian. Those
were all just preamble for the woman who would become

(02:20:20):
his baby mama. Baby mama a woman, a British actress
named Elsie Hewitt. Now I'm not familiar with her, but
I got to think she's prominent, or she would have
never run into Pete Davidson. Elsie Hewitt is pregnant and
says she knew Pete Davidson would be the father of
her children on their first date. Not child children now.

(02:20:44):
This says they announced they were going to be parents
back in July. I completely missed this same Again, I'm
not following the guy on social media, but I like
Pete Davidson. He's still going Yeah, this guy is still chick.
Willis is still going at it.

Speaker 4 (02:21:05):
Curly.

Speaker 2 (02:21:05):
Pregnant, Elsie Hewitt said she always knew Pete Davidson would
be the father of her children. He's thirty two, she's
twenty nine. How about that? She said. We went out
to dinner for the first time and I was like, Okay,
don't think that I'm crazy, but I just know you're
going to be the father of my children. He was like, chick, please, No,
she said. He was like, yeah, like that chad bit

(02:21:28):
that he does on SNL. Okay, no, thank you, Okay,
you're going to be the father of my children. Okay,
all right. So I don't know who Elsie Hewitt is,
but she has one million followers on Instagram, so I
assume she's an actress or something.

Speaker 15 (02:21:46):
Tall.

Speaker 2 (02:21:48):
Elsie Hewitt. But that's a flex too when your woman
is British. She's appeared in Playboy. I assume those are movies.
She has a role in an up coming films. Oh,
she posed for Playboy in twenty seventeen. Worked with brands
like Guess. I don't know what brand Guess. I told you,

(02:22:10):
I don't know the Guess brand, Rob Guess. Yeah, Now,
how can I put this nicely? If she decides to breastfeed,
I think that kid is going to be in pretty
good shape as she is, let's say, classically endowed. Right

(02:22:35):
in the strictest sense, she sure is. Wowser's Pete Nelsie
and Baby Makes Three. So she was in Playboy, she
was in Playboy. Now this just goes to show you
how power and influence and wealth and okay, creativity can

(02:22:57):
really put you somewhere. Before she dated Pete Davidson, she
dated Benny Blanco, the guy that just married Selena Gomez.
If you watch the show Dave with Little Dicky, Benny
Blanco was featured pretty prominently on that last season. But wow,
this guy's nothing to look at.

Speaker 6 (02:23:14):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:23:14):
Granted he's very prominent in his field, right, He's this
like major producer. You know, he's a big, big deal
in music. But holy Christ, it's one thing to like
date a guy, it's another thing altogether to go Yes,
I want to make it. I mean as a reason
that you know she ain't having kids with Benny Blanco. Well,
she sure did do Playboy, didn't she? Oh yeah, is

(02:23:35):
she in there? She sure is. Oh okay.

Speaker 11 (02:23:36):
I would just google her name and then Playboy right
after it, and you'll that's not showing me you serious?
Is your safe search on?

Speaker 2 (02:23:46):
I don't think so. No, I'll see it later anyway.
Good for pe Davidson. I completely missed the whole, the
whole we're gonna have kids thing. The Playboy model dated
people like Jason Sudeikis. Philippy partied with Mick Jagger on
her birthday. So she has been around what is her?

(02:24:08):
She has made? She has? She's been with them or
been in the orbit of a lot of different people.
Elsie Hewitt, Has she been in anything you've seen? I
don't think so. She was last dating Jason Sudekus, who's
twenty years her senior. She was dating Benny Blanco and
Ryan Philippy. I know Sudakas was that old. It's like

(02:24:30):
fifty model and actress born in London, moved to the
US when she was ten. Oh maybe she doesn't have
the accent anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:24:38):
Me.

Speaker 2 (02:24:39):
She has a lilt of an accent. She's in a
twenty twenty film called Teenage Badass. In two episodes of
the series Dave that must be where she met Bennie Blanco,
it says she's a foodie. I love the models who
pretend they're eating right. They put him in commercials and
things or on their own Instagram. Sorry, I just love

(02:24:59):
a giant East Burger. No post me video of you
eating that entire thing right now. I started with Paris
Hilton member she was doing Carls Jr. Or whatever you year. Yeah,
but it's like, you know, you standing there holding food
with your mouth open. Nobody buys that. But anyway, I

(02:25:20):
missed all that. So Pete Davidson gonna be a dad Alan.
Shouldn't Pete Davidson's comedy come first to mind instead of
who he banged? You've never seen Pete Davidson's comedy?

Speaker 4 (02:25:35):
Have you?

Speaker 2 (02:25:36):
With all due respect, I think he's a funny guy.
His stand his act is not crazy strong. I don't
know if it's gotten better. But boy, when he was
like he you know, they gave him like a Comedy
Central special or something years ago when you know, and
he just got famous off Essenal. He was a young guy,

(02:25:57):
funny dude, not a crazy strong stand up And so
I have to assume he's gotten better, obviously and more seasoned.
But no, his stand up is not what comes to mind.
Not when I mean, try naming me the names of
his specials and now name me the people he's dated.
That's what's much more high profile. Yeah, I mean you

(02:26:20):
used to take your point, yeah, but still but you
started with like his SNL stuff like you're talking about Chad.
I still think that's one of the funniest sketches ever
on that show.

Speaker 11 (02:26:30):
Okay, okay, when he's on Mars that that that one
probably is my favorite because there's the whole thing with
the what's her name Hannah Montana the Miley She's like,
I'm pregnant, Okay, it's yours, no, thank you, Like it's
just it's perfect.

Speaker 2 (02:26:50):
The Mars one was Elon Musk, yeah, which you skipped
that part of it. It's not with the whole Moss
colonization project. Oh, congrats.

Speaker 4 (02:26:58):
I don't want to make sure you understand you won't
survive this swisher. Okay, save your fellow comus.

Speaker 2 (02:27:03):
We'd love to make an ultimate sacrifice. M sack Mitch
him with brown command. Make your way to the airlock
and begin exit procedures. Okay, Chad?

Speaker 4 (02:27:19):
Aren't you going to say goodbye?

Speaker 17 (02:27:22):
Chad?

Speaker 25 (02:27:22):
I'll always cherish what we've had together. O God, I
wish we could make love just one last time. There's
something that you should know before you go.

Speaker 2 (02:27:38):
I'm pregnant.

Speaker 4 (02:27:40):
The baby is yours.

Speaker 2 (02:27:43):
You're going to be a father. Chat air lock would
walk you through the any who Pete Davidson is Chad?
Isn't that or a bit? Yeah, funny bit.

Speaker 11 (02:27:58):
He does the fart thing like it's there's all of it.
It's every joke that they had for him. It was
all built into this one particular sketch.

Speaker 6 (02:28:05):
So good.

Speaker 2 (02:28:07):
More nonsense and bluster from Elon Musk. This guy's like,
we're going to Mars next week. You can't even get
to the moon, dummy, they keep they can't even get
their lunar lander touchdown. Jeff Bezos is already running circles
around this dope. I shouldn't call him a dope. It's
not like Elon Musk is a dumb guy. But I mean,
let me a break because of constantly bull shrimping venture

(02:28:31):
capitalists to get more money on top of his you know,
public subsidies, the doge guide that wants to make sure
other people aren't getting public money, and he's taking tens
of billions of dollars of our money prop up his businesses. Alan,
please thank Rob for me. I googled Elsie Playboy and
like he said, wow, wow, wow, wow wow, will wow.

(02:28:56):
Will look at this is very nice talent. This is
rich Down Jackson, Florida, listening back to podcast yesterday.

Speaker 5 (02:29:03):
You quickly brought up a story about how your wife
thought you were going to leave her when you met
her father and went to a buffet and watched him
eat crab legs out of a bowl of drump butter
like those of soup. I got a similar name story.
I thought my wife was going to leave me the
first time she met my mom, who went tubing out
in the river on a closed bottom tube. They went
tubing in the raft together and my mom ended up
pooping herself and the water in the bottom of the
tube were brown, but it wasn't from the river water anyways.

(02:29:26):
I thought she was going to leave me there on
the spot.

Speaker 2 (02:29:28):
Hate the show by e boy that there is no
more human or bonding experience than pooping yourself in front
of another person. Right once the embarrassment subsides, it's a
story you'll both have forever. They were in the river.
This is a story you want to have forever. No,
ideally no, but if you do, you're like, oh, remember
when filled up her pants? Yeah, well you can tell

(02:29:51):
Rich's military he had. Dude is regimented. Boy, he gets in,
he gets out. Yeah, there's no farting around now, there's
no poop in your tube. When it comes to Rich,
it just when you think, justin poop, but it comes
out like soap. Diarrhea, die rhea. Oh it's a classic
talking to your mom, man, it dribbles from your mom

(02:30:14):
diarrhea die too bad. This isn't a Christmas song? Can we?
That's got the same vibe as fest and glorious? Sure
does big band sound real? The Alan Cox Show.

we got maybe a dozen or show so show's remaining
for twenty twenty five. What a year it's been, Robie.
It's been a fantastic the year of review. Got a
lot to review. Yeah, Alan, I've been peed on by
a drunk friend. You are absolutely correct that those stories

(02:33:06):
don't ever go away peede on by a drunk friend. Well,
we're talking about rich Don in Jacksonville was talking about
how his mom pooped the tape. Yeah, crapped the close
bottom tube in the river with his then girlfriend.

Speaker 11 (02:33:20):
And by the way, you using pooping the tube in
that way. I think that we need to make that
a thing on the show. I think the tube poop
the tube. Every time you screw the pooch or you
do something dumb, I think you pooped the tube. We
need to figure out how to work that in.

Speaker 9 (02:33:33):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (02:33:34):
I think you just did, Yeah, pooped the tube. That
guy really pooped the tube. So thank you, rich you've
it advertently coined a new phrase here on the show.
He pooped the tube, pooped the tube. It was you
putting it into the context though that that made it
what it was. Well, there you go. It takes a

(02:33:56):
village rob right, rich and Jacksonville was our springboard and
uh took it from there. He gave me the raw materials. Oh,
a couple in New Jersey. We have listeners in New Jersey.
I don't know if we have anyone in Tom's River.

(02:34:18):
I've stayed near Tom's River before. A New Jersey couple
beat Where is it they beat a one? What did
I read? A one in a trillion odds to win
a million dollar prizes in quick succession. Let me see

(02:34:41):
if I can find this for you. The combined odds
of winning what they won are one in two trillion dollars.
A Tom's River couple with two young kids. They don't
even have their faces. They're holding up the giant, comically
large check in front of their face. They won three

(02:35:01):
million dollars on a scratcher last week, months after winning
a million dollars in another scratcher. So two scratchers months apart,
four million dollars. But see now it's the game is
thirty dollars a ticket? They bought two thirty dollars. I
shouldn't say they only bought two, but the tickets were

(02:35:24):
they cost thirty dollars.

Speaker 11 (02:35:26):
Doesn't this sound to you like these are the people
that are going to go broke if you win a
million dollars on a scratcher and you still start buying
scratch tickets. That screams like they're not gonna have a
dollar left in six years or you're like, why not,
I don't know. I don't know, man, if I won
a million bucks, I don't think I'm playing the lottery
again for it. If I do, it's not gonna be

(02:35:47):
three weeks later. Yeah, it scratchers. I mean, if I
won the lottery, I got nothing to lose by buying scratchers.

Speaker 4 (02:35:54):
No, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:35:54):
But but if you're gonna do it in three weeks time,
like if you just hit a million dollar scratch ticket,
you're gonna go buy more right away. The game costs
thirty dollars a ticket, and there are three top prizes
of three million dollars. They won one, so the game
now has two of them left. The combined odds of
winning both jackpots are one in two trillion. The couple

(02:36:15):
who are raising a five year old and an eleven
month old, imagine you get told that story when you're older,
even the five year old. Now't you remember?

Speaker 4 (02:36:23):
You know?

Speaker 2 (02:36:24):
So when you were little we won the lottery, they said,
with our kids, we can't really get out of the house.
So the beginning of the month we get some scratch
off tickets, and when the kids go to bed, we
scratch a few off and we make it a bit
of a competition, and it seems that we usually break even.
The husband thought they might have won something a while

(02:36:45):
ago before he handed the card to his wife. I
looked at it, held it to my chest and screamed,
she said. The scratcher showed that they had won one
of the three million dollar prizes. The couple celebrations after
their recent one million dollar win may have been especially memorable.
Maybe we celebrated a bit too much, the wife said,

(02:37:07):
patting her belly. Well, boy, he was so excited. He
left it in. Yeah. Yeah, you see how freeing it
is when you don't have to worry about going broke
because you got kids. Leave it in, baby hey. Out
here in northeast Ohio out Sharden Way. Two people won
at the same gas station Jiaga County in Shardon. They're

(02:37:32):
gonna split a rolling cash five jackpot. Two people one
at the same gas station. They're gonna split one hundred
and eighty two thousand dollars off. The winning tickets for
the November tenth drawing were sold at the Hamden Corners
gas station. Two people are gonna split it. I was
in Shardon. We're still doing the buzzard bike. Yeah. Remember

(02:37:54):
that was the day that Mike my tire blew out
on ninety West. I was almost home. It was a
Saturday afternoon and I was going to go home. Get
ready because I had to get out to Shardon. I
was at the Hambone in Shardon. This was like first
couple days of August. And I blow a tire before
I even get off. I really poop the tube right
there on the highway. Rob I had to get towed.

(02:38:17):
It's always an hour late to the appearance. But the
fans were very understanding. But yeah, the Hambone right out
there in Shardon, that's a good spot. You win that.
You guys split that one hundred and eighty two thousand dollars.
About half that's going to go a long way out
there at the Hambone. They got a good burger. Now

(02:38:40):
it's hashtag not an ad, but I've been out there.

Speaker 6 (02:38:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:38:47):
You like to make the joke. We'll talk joke about
hull of pano poppers. Even though most places don't have
those anymore. Hambone has them. I haven't had him in years, right,
I love them. Hot peppers and cream cheese. Doesn't sound
like something i'd like, but boy do I like them.
I haven't had them in a long time either. Any Who,
those two people, how Chardon way, got themselves a bunch

(02:39:09):
of money, So congratulations to them. Pete on by a
drunk friend about that Allen a million dollars after taxes
in New Jersey can't be much. Yeah, but they won
four million dollars. I bet they'll be just fine on

(02:39:30):
two point two million dollars. I bet they'll be just
five little kids. It says they have a five year
old and an eleven month old, but then it goes
on to talk about their three children. I wonder if
one of their children wanted to remain anonymous. Or is
she talking about the one that's in the oven? Oh

(02:39:51):
oh yeah, of course, Yeah, she's pregnant sorry, five eleven
and the one in the oven yep, yes, the one
that's still baking. Alan, Please tell Rob. It's called an addiction.
What is you said? Have you never yeah? Scratchers?

Speaker 4 (02:40:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:40:06):
Yeah, okay, I guess, but like I don't know, yeah, okay, yeah.
You listen to us on iHeartRadio. On the app there
you can drop messages for us. People who are a
little bit more longer. When did you use the after
hours lying the lay voicemails, but the because I think
you get a timer right the app is you like

(02:40:27):
thirty seconds? Yeah? Yeah, Hey.

Speaker 13 (02:40:31):
Throughout the years you'll say something like the other day,
you're like, oh, Rob always coughs when six on it.

Speaker 2 (02:40:36):
I hope that's not a hippo violation.

Speaker 13 (02:40:38):
I know you're obviously making jokes, but you say the
lots where you'll say something about somebody's medical stuff and say, oh,
I hope I didn't make a hot hipp of violation,
or you just made a hippo violation. You're unless you're
a medical professional and you're in the healthcare field professionally,
it's not a hippo violation. If I tell you I
have colon cancer and say don't tell anyone and you
post on Facebook, it's not a hippo violation.

Speaker 2 (02:40:57):
You're just a jerk. Yes, that's the joke you said
in your message. I know you're obviously making jokes. What's
his point because he's I don't know. I think he
thinks that you seriously think that you cause a hip
of violation if you talk about someone. But he just

(02:41:18):
said he knows, I'm he knows I'm jokes in.

Speaker 11 (02:41:21):
My particular set circumstance that maybe I don't actually cough
when sticks plays.

Speaker 2 (02:41:28):
So but he says, I know you're obviously making jokes,
which I am right, these are all jokes. You're not
a medical professional. I'm not a doctor, right, lay kind
of witch doctor.

Speaker 13 (02:41:43):
The other day you were like, oh, Rob always coughs
when sticks on it. I hope that's not a hip
of violation. I know you're obviously making jokes, but you say,
I know.

Speaker 2 (02:41:50):
You're obvious jokes. But he goes, but I you could
have I know you're making jokes. I don't understand his point.
I don't understand. I like to know where people are
coming from, irrespective of what side they're coming. I know
you're making jokes, but you say it all the time, right, Well,
those are jokes too. You named the joke that just happened.
Other times he does it are also jokes. Yeah, I'm like, okay, anyway,

(02:42:17):
uh correct sir, you got me. I am not a
medical professional. And uh right, it's something, isn't it. Well, Listen,
I like to know where people are coming from. It'd
be one thing of that little thing wasn't in there.
And he's like, hey man, you're not. It's not a
thing people think this ba that I get. But if

(02:42:39):
you preface it with now, I know you're making jokes,
but but you do it all. But what point are
you trying to make? I guess if you get right.
But that's but that's immaterial to what he's saying.

Speaker 4 (02:42:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:42:53):
Frequency of the joke has nothing to do with what
he's saying. Right. So if you're point, what was your point?
Is he informing me I'm not a medical professional? I
believe so, yes, okay, And so now I think I understand,
you know, because a lot of people will say that
a lot of people have no idea what a hip

(02:43:15):
a violation is, so they go, so he is right
about that, that's not what I'm doing.

Speaker 10 (02:43:20):
And you.

Speaker 2 (02:43:21):
Acknowledge that's not what I'm doing. When you say you're
obviously making it's like people who go that that's a
First Amendment. No, not first Amendment. It's like people who
you know, it's ironic that the people in charge in
the White House now are like wiping their ass with
the First Amendment because most people don't actually know what
it is. First, it's not a First Amendment issue. If
you put something on Facebook, other people don't like it's

(02:43:42):
if the government is suppressing speech. That's the First Amendment, right.
So this guy is like, I know you're making jokes,
but you're not a medical professional. Thank you, sir. I
do appreciate the input. Yes, thank you for listening. Whoever, yeah, absolutely,
thank you for your You know, we like to call
that engagement, and that engagement with the audience elil like

(02:44:10):
scary movies. You ever seen Midnight Meat Train? Jake from
I did see that. That is early Bradley Cooper. I
believe Midnight Meat Train was a great book that they
turned into a middling movie. It was a Clive Barker story.
You ever get into Clive Barker, the drummer for Shut
Up Rob. That's Clive Burr and Iron Maiden, I believe

(02:44:36):
is what you're thinking. So Travis Barker, Oh yes, sorry,
no everybody, And again I was way into Stephen King two,
but then I got into Clive Barker in the mid eighties.
He was the guy that did hell Raiser. Those were
his stories, books of blood. Clive Barker is an awesome

(02:44:57):
he did Candy Man. I think love Clive Barker. It
was like another step up if you liked horror literature.
He also hosted The Price Is Right too, didn't he?

Speaker 10 (02:45:09):
Rob?

Speaker 2 (02:45:09):
That's Bob Barker, who you're boy? They are doing him
dirty in this AI slop? Do you see these? They're
high hilarious. I think this guy's dead. It's a good
thing he's dead. That's why they're doing it all the
AI slop now is so Rude's elderly. It's chiropractor throwing

(02:45:31):
him through walls. It's Bob Barker calling him just terrible names.
Oh god, I'm sorry you were saying about Clive Barker. No,
he did a story called Midnight Meat Train years ago
and they turned it into a movie, probably twenty years ago,
and it wasn't great. It's Vinnie Jones, but I remember

(02:45:52):
it was early Bradley Cooper. It's about a guy who's
killing people on the subway and it's you know, but
I have seen that. Yes, thank you whoever sent me that.
Alan Keep fighting the good fight. You guys make me
blow through all my gravy. Hey, we're not here to
pup the tube, all right, we want to blow through

(02:46:13):
all your grain. We're here for you, and.

Speaker 16 (02:46:15):
Now I must leave you as the Brady Bunch is
on and I find four of those children incredibly arousing.

Speaker 4 (02:46:21):
Get out of it.

Speaker 15 (02:46:23):
Be careful of what you say. Be careful in every way,
Be careful of what you do. Big Brother is watching you.
Be circumspect and discreet, Stay light on your mental feet.

(02:46:44):
One slip and you know who you're through. Big Brother
is watching you. And with all narities, remember ovidios paid.
And when you watch that TVs remember it works both ways.

(02:47:05):
You'll disappear in a wink. Unless you can double think,
you'll vanish into the blue. Big Brother is watching you.
