We were talking about we got introduced to that. Well,
a lot of us did. That country singer his name

Speaker 2 (00:57):

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't know anything about him as an Apparently a
lot of other people did already, Like Sammy and some
other people were like going back and listening to some
of the songs, and you know Edie Veers and Nelson. Yeah. Now,
you know, everybody sets goals for themselves, like to do
different things, like hey, you know, at some point, I
(01:20):
mean I'll use my own example, like I always wanted
to learn how to fly a plane and get my
pilot's license AFO, So that became a goal of mine
or are maybe it's like, uh, you know, losing weight
or whatever. You set these goals for yourself and some
people they give up on other people they just stick
to it and they end up making that dream come true.
And when it comes to singing an anthem at a

Speaker 4 (10:15):
He hasn't done baseball cards and autograph cards back Poled

And woody, Yeah, I'm buying you in the next month.
A Hill T shirt. We have them on eBay Hills.

Mark was.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Of course eclusive Pittsburgh, Yes, of course, yeah Hill.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It was in Ohio too. It was mainly in the
East coast, were.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Like we had Hills in Nashville.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Did you really?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, it's like the kind of the half cursive writing. Yeah, yeah, Hills.
We used to go there. My grandma used to give
me a soft pretzel on a frozen coat and we
get some deals on toys.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Oh yeah, I've seen pictures of Hill. My close friend
that owns Hometown Collectibles used to work at a Hill.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I've never met him or seen what he looks like,
but I've bought hell a figures off him, and I
bought a ninety two Scottie off him and it has
the Hills price tag on.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah. Well, there's a guy. He operates a food truck
in and around Pittsburgh. It's a Hills food truck. So
like the the old like Hills snack bar that had
all this stuff, He's got all that stuff on the
Hills food truck that goes around to different events around Pittsburgh.
I think he's still doing it. It was a big
story when it came out, and.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I don't mean disrespect, and that's great, but you can't
replace the original Shill.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's not just any soft pretzel and frozen cook you
know what I mean. It's gotta be very specific top
carn and it's not like this guy's selling toys. Yeah, exactly, well,
half baked. Great to hear from me. I'm glad to
hear that. I think we somewhat squashed that beat. At least,
you know what, we cleared the lines of communication. Yeah yeah, yeah,
between between you and Hammer and Hank.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Know what they say, time heals most not like Nick Hogan.
He will never be forgiven kid Nick.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, he bake.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Thank you. I was great to hear it from you.
My friend will look forward to our next visit.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Okay, Alter so.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Much I want to ask him about what do you
want to ask him? I'll just go into I mean, Gina,
he's you might be one. He's way into collectible figurines
and baseball cards as an adult, but also pro wrestling.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You know, shocking walking that exceeded my expectations.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But he cut off his interest in pro wrestling after
a certain time because like I forget what, like what
the what the.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What the line in the sand was?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
What the line of the was that well? I hated Vince.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
So he takes he took something in pro wrestling personally,
as you should anything.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Before that date. He knows it back and for.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Him shout out to Hammer and Hank and his performance
of the anthem at the desk of Nuts game. It was,
it's could be awesome. It's pretty good. All right, We're
gonna be a quick break, a little updated of MENACE's Friends.
Speaker 4 (14:05):

MENACE's old buddy Hammer and Hank.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
For joining us this morning. And someone congratulations on singing
the anthem at the Nuts game. Yep, modesto.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Nuts.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Are we gonna get a like a recording of them?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
We have to be you know, a bunch of people
that hang out with him. Send somebody to video. Yeah,
I mean have a lot of fun friends in the area. Yeah.
Somebody said, also might be good to get like Hammer
and Hank or half Baked for what he show family feud.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Oh, that's an excellent idea.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
And I think we did a few things with with
Half BAKEDO we did it was it was a family feud. Yeah,
but I think we should do like a panel that
would be like like a real was one.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And then again somebody said on the text, hearing MENACE's
Friends explains a lot I'm sure he has other friends too,
but those two are interesting for radio.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Is it one of those things where you know, let's
say you're on the look scale, you're like a six
or a seven, you would hang around a bunch of
twos and threes, right, right, because like by comparison, right,
So like is it like you know, we hear the
word of the day. I'm trying to I'm not trying
to be mean. I'm just saying, like, you know, like,
(15:33):
so hang around like Hank and Half Baked. I mean,
you look like I don't like a genius.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
Like how I met Hank is to work, right, And
also I met half Big through work. Half Big at
a television station and then Hank at a radio station.
So it wasn't like we had classes together anything.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
What did half Big do it at a television station?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
He was an intern, so like he changed tapes and stop.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, but was he doing the news?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, behind the desk.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
I mean, I I love my friends groups because I know,
like guys are like you know, crazy genius tech billionaire
dudes and all the way down to.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
You know, yeah respect his his his group varies.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Yeah, yeah, and I forgot you know, half Baked as
a kid, I can't remember half Baked was.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
So he did go to my high school, but I
didn't know him in high school. He was at a
school that he had a little incident where.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
He rode the short bus to give.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Well, like somebody made fun of him, and he rocked
that dude golf. He rocked him so hard that guy
couldn't go on a senior trip. And Half Baked was
a junior, and so he got kicked out of school.
He got transferred to the high school that I went to.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You know, everything you tell me about half Baked makes
me like him more.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, he's a very likable guy.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
He is.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
He is, especially in person.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And the most random things that come out of his mouth.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Yeah, I would The only thing that I would say
about Half Big that he goes through cycles where he
gets stuck on a topic for a good five years.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh yeah, so he'll be like beans me.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
He'll he'll mention Vince McMahon for five years straight and
then he's onto because before that it was Michael Jackson.
Oh so he'll mention Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I'll bring that.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Do you think Michael Jackson did it? That would be
every day for five, like.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Wedge did any conversation?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, yeah, eighty four. Who's the most interesting person in
your life? Like a character? I would say for me,
it's my aunt Chrissy for sure. For sure, she's nuts,
she's she's a wild lover. I mean, but she's nuts
and she's consistent. Oh yeah, she's never not. I'm putting
on and a pride of Dormont, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
She's never had one of those days where it's just
that kind.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Of mellow Hey baby, how you doing this way out?
Let's check in and see what's happening on this Wednesday
morning trending news headlines.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Gina Grad Yes, Well Diddy is facing serious allegations in
his federal sex trafficking trial, and yesterday his ex girlfriend
Cassie Ventura took the stand with some intense testimony. She
described nearly a decade of abuse and said did he
forced her into drug fueled sex parties those of course
we've all heard about, called freakofs and controlled nearly every
part of her life, from her career, to her personal
(18:44):
relationships with other people to where she could go. Cassie
also talked about a bunch of physical abuse, including a
twenty sixteen assault in the hotel hallway, that security footage
of which was they showed that in court, and a
lot of us have already seen that online.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Just showed it on the news. Yeah, it's minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
She said the experience left her emotionally and physically broken.
Now Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including
racketeering and sex trafficking. His legal team claims everything was
consensual and just part of his quote celebrity lifestyle. The
trial is still unfolding, more witnesses expected in the next
few days. A judge has changed the sentence of Eric
(19:23):
and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of killing their parents.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
In this story is exhausted. I find this story troubling. Yeah, right,
it's like, what are we doing. We had a trial,
it was decided, they had a jury of their peers, right,
they were convicted. They were sentenced to life in prison
with no parole. They did it. They did the crime.
(19:47):
There's no question they did it. Okay, And you want
to argue abuse and things like that, fine, but just
because there's plenty of people who are abused and it
doesn't give them legal justification for murder. Right, Oh yeah, okay.
Actually just because Eric or Lyle whichever one, built a
(20:09):
garden in the prison, right, what does that matter.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Now that they're newly popular again.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, well I saw the judge. He had made some comment.
Do you have the quote in there about what the
judge said?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
I don't have the quote from the Yeah, I'll find.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It because I'm like, okay, why let me let me
find Yeah, you look for that.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
So, yeah, they're eligible for parole now. So they served
over thirty years in prison with no chance of release,
and now the resentencing, like what he said, fifty years
to life, which means they can now request parole since
the judge thinks they're no longer a major threat to society.
And I mean, I don't know that they're going to
kill anyone else's parents, but yeah, they seem to have
done the crime. So during the court hearing they have
(20:50):
a lot of emotional testimony from family members. Others described
how the brothers have changed for the better, and both
admitted guilt and expressed remorse the arc. Oh yeah, okay,
And the final decision on whether they get released will
be made by the State Parole Board and reviewed by
Governor Gavin Newsom. Now a clemency decision is expected in
mid June, so that would be like, okay, bye, thank
(21:13):
you for your service. You got that quote.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
After resentencing the brothers, the judge said he had given
the matter quote long thought, acknowledging they committed an absolutely
horrific crime and there's no way around it. But he
said he was moved by the brother's behavior behind.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Bars, moved.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Life without parole gives an inmate no hope, no reason
to do anything good, and I give him a lot
of credit. It's remarkable what they did when they had
no hope of getting out.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh it's like they're saying.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You built a garden and your fundraise for some other
thing to do in prison, Like, who gives an eff?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I was moved by these murderers, Like that's that's the opposite.
It's like, if you have nothing else.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
To do, their parents raped them, and their family knew
and did nothing cool, then bring the family up on
charges for not, you know whatever, being complicit. Again, I'm
sorry whatever happened to you, And plenty of people are
abused and whatever, But again, the law is the law. Look,
I am a vigilanti justice kind of guy, but I
also understand what reality is. The reality is is just
(22:16):
because I've been wronged or abused but whatever by somebody,
I can't just go and brutally murder them, as much
as I might have fantasized about it.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
I again, you can't really do that. I just wanted
to say one thing. I don't care that they murdered
their dad. If that actually happened, they still murdered their mom. Guys, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Because she just but she didn't do it.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
And it also opens the door to people just saying
stuff happened to them and that justifies their murder.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.
I was reading a lot of stuff yesterday that seems
to suggest that they're never really getting out, like this happened,
but they're never gonna It's like, was it Charles Manson
to go before the parole board or who is the
other person that it's kind of it's just now a
thing where it's like they go before the parole board
and they always get shot down. Oh they check that Mercellina,
(23:11):
No Manson, Yeah, yeah, one of them die.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
This might be this might be a mood just to
get people to shut up about already. I hope it is.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It would be nice and they can just kick the
can down the road right to.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
The next guy. Well back in twenty fourteen, Malaysia Airlines
Flight m AH seventeen disappeared over eastern Ukraine. Remember this
was a big story.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was gone, disappears.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
All two hundred and ninety eight people on board were
gone without a trace. It's been a mystery ever since.
But now the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization has
officially determined that Russia shot it down with a missile.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
The decision came makes sense. Playing like that with all
those people just doesn't disappear. You want to read some
good conspiracy theorists read up on that. Oh yeah, I
was abducted by aliens.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Well.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
The decision came after the Netherlands in Australia, Yeah, took
the case to court since most of the victims were
their citizens. The agency concluded that Russia violated the Chicago Convention,
which prohibits the use of weapons against civilian airplanes, and
the Netherlands in Australia are now asking Russia to pay
damages and talks are happening with the United Nations to
figure this out.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Wow, but even if you shot a plane down, wouldn't
they have found records?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Some guy recently who's claimed to found the coordinates of
where it landed or where the pieces ended up.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, but did not find any Well if they're fast,
so they haven't searched yet. Yeah, they have to go.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Looking for it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I would say they were looking for it right after
it happened. You would think that, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
But the exact place where it happened. This guy said
that he's actually found it.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
So is a big place.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, they have to go diamond and stuff. You gotta
get boats.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Well, MLB just made a big move. Pete Rose no
longer banned from baseball. Neither is shoeless Joe Jackson.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
A shoe is Joe he was banned.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, one the whole Black Sox scandal exactly.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred reinstated them yesterday, finally
making them eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. In fact,
Manfred unbanned everybody who's dead, saying, quote, obviously, a person
no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the
integrity of the game. So Pete Rose was banned in
nineteen eighty nine for betting on games will he was
managing the Cincinnati Reds. Shoeless Joe and seven other members
(25:31):
of the nineteen nineteen White Sox team were banned for
fixing the World Series. Pete and Joe can't get into
the Hall of Fame until twenty twenty eight, though at
the earliest. That's because their greatest contributions to baseball came
before nineteen eighty, which means they'd have to be considered
by this twelve person Classic Baseball Committee, and that's not
until twenty twenty seven. But I never understood the Pete
(25:52):
Rose thing because he wasn't betting against his team. You know,
why didn't you bet for your team? You weren't have
to win anyway?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, right, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
But I'm saying it's like he didn't fix the game
either way. He said, I'm so confident in my team,
I'm putting money on it.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I mean, I understood them making a point, But I
mean he's the all time hits leader, right and had
nothing to do with any of that, right. You know,
I think Barry Bond should be in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, well,
now there's a chance for very Bond. Yeah, although Pete
Rose this is an interview that he did pretty soon
before he died, and he was saying like, well, if
it happens after I'm dead, he didn't seem all that
(26:27):
pumped about that idea.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
I don't see much sense and putting me on the
ballot after I die. Most of the people who root
it for me my whole career would love to see
me in the Hall of Fame as a living player,
not as someone is ten feet under. What good would
it do in my family if they put me in
the Hall of Fame after I die, Because I'm the
one who did the work. I'm the one that put
the time in. I'm the one who was dedicated to
(26:49):
the game of baseball. I was the one dedicated to
my teammates and for the game of baseball in general.
I tried to sell the game for my twenty four
years as a major League baseball player by going after
every day and busting my ass and trying and entertain
new people.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
He was a character for sure. It's like, yeah, my family,
they didn't do nothing.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I think this is more about I want to see it.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
You don't want to say that if you're jonesing to
gamble that hard. Can't you just get a proxy? Just
be like, hey Whatodi? Yeah, I got this game tonight.
I want you to bet on it for me.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yeah, are gambling?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Like yeah, I guess somebody just recently did that. Yeah
well yeah, yeah, I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Knowingly not you know, taking somebody's identities, taking their money
and doing it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, never mind, Oh.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
You're going down a rabbit hole. Yeh, conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, Tommy was getting uh text coming over three and four.
We're confusing MH seventeen, the Malaysian Airlines Image seventeen with
another Malaysian Airlines flight.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
What's up with Malaysian air Line.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Which disappeared over the Java Sea? Oh that was they
know that MH seventeen was shot down, but had to
determine where the missile came from.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Oh so this is not Oh I thought this was
the missing one.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I only knew about one Malaysian Airlines flight, I mean
from the top of mind.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yeah same, Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Okay, how many flights.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
In Malaysia go missing? Too many for fight well, yeah,
too many for marketers.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I know where I'm not going exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
How you're not flying? Well, ESPN will launch a new
streaming service this fall, which will let people watch lots
of sports without needing cable or satellite. The service will
be offered as a standalone option and as part of
a bundle with other Disney owned services like Hulu Disney Plus.
Two pricing options will be available. One is an unlimited
plan with all ESPN networks and ABC broadcasts that's going
(28:44):
to be twenty nine ninety nine a month, and another
is the Select plan with the current ESPN Plus service,
the full bundle of streaming services including ESPN and Hulu
Disney Plus everything, that'll be available for thirty five ninety
nine a month.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, So the good one I think I need to do.
I think you just need to cancel everything. I'm gonna
cancel all of the streaming start and I'm gonna start fresh. Yes,
because as Hulu announced Hulu without Ads, I signed up
for that. I have ESPN Plus because hockey there was
gonna be certain games that I wanted to watch. I
want to watch Penguin games that were only gonna be
(29:19):
on ESPN Plus, so I signed up for that. I
have Disney Plus, which I signed up for individually when
they first launched that. So these are all bundled together
one right, and there's other ones, uh, Discovery with Max
with Max. So I think what I need to do
is just cancel everything and then start from the beginning
(29:40):
and then just go all right when I go to
that and go, oh, would you like to bundle with what? Yes?
Because I guarantee they're not telling you that, uh, you know,
I'm paying for the Hulu, the Disney and the other one.
They're not saying, hey, by the way, you know, you
can use together and you can spend less and get
the same thing. They're not telling you that.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
I think mine automatically bundled my Hulu and Disney plus, well,
aren't you No, I think that it's happening.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Say it might have happened for me too, but I'm
not sure. And then I remember, like, because oh, through
your cell phone provider, you get the streaming service for free,
I think I'm really missing out on Yeah. And I
think a lot of people they just you know, go okay, cool, We'll.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Just keep adding adding yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
And I'm with you, Like I just opened up HBO Max,
and I think it was like the first time in
maybe eight months I did that because I had to
watch practical magic talk about what this movie is about,
and it's major, major sus in the plot line. But yeah,
but I was like, yeah, I've been paying for the
past eight months and haven't even like opened this app
(30:40):
at all.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Right, yeah, same, same. It's a paramount, I think, and
you can always sign back up like once the next
season of like Tulsa King or something.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I had it for Fraser and Tulsa King.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Pay monthly for two shows.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Yeah, and real quick with Malaysia Airlines. Those two accents,
the H three seventy and the MH seventeen happened within
four months of each.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Other, So maybe that's why.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Yeah, well that's what's going on, Woodie.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Thank you very much, Gina Grad's a woody show.
Woody Show, all right, welcome back everybody. Yeah, Wooding, Greg Minie,
Ginah Grant, there is Sea Ben, Sammy's here phones open
eight seven seven. Food sent us a text over to
two two nine eight seven when the NFL draft happened.
We were talking about we got introduced to that. Well,
a lot of us did. That country singer his name
(00:22):
is Stephen Wilson Junior and he's second the national Anthemy
and it was it was polarizing. Some people loved it,
some people didn't. You see, Ah sounds like Moulton God
(00:49):
God is doing character.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah kind of.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Some people love it. Like I said, some people really
loved it, other people not so much.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Terrible whatever.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't know anything about him as an Apparently a
lot of other people did already, Like Sammy and some
other people were like going back and listening to some
of the songs, and you know Edie Veers and Nelson. Yeah. Now,
you know, everybody sets goals for themselves, like to do
different things, like hey, you know, at some point, I
(01:20):
mean I'll use my own example, like I always wanted
to learn how to fly a plane and get my
pilot's license AFO, So that became a goal of mine
or are maybe it's like, uh, you know, losing weight
or whatever. You set these goals for yourself and some
people they give up on other people they just stick
to it and they end up making that dream come true.
And when it comes to singing an anthem at a
(01:42):
major event, Nerve Wracking, one of MENACE's friends, this has
been a dream of his and he actually is going
to accomplish that. He's reaching his goal and he's going
to be singing at a is it a like a
minor league baseball game? The Modesto Nuts, the Modesto Nuts,
(02:03):
ladies and gentlemen. The anthem singer for that game is
MENACE's friend Hammer and Hank. Hey, good, Hi, Hank, Hi,
what's up dude, Hank. It's been a long time. It's
been a long time since we've talked to you on
the show.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
How are you extremely good?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, congratulations on the anthem. That's big news. Menace had
told me that do you you really wanted to sing
this and you wanted to Now why? Why? Why the anthem?
And why at a baseball game? Like, where where does
that dream come from?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Because I've always would have seen the nationalism at a
major or minor League, the Tall Game.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, is it kind of like how Menace has always
wanted to get a key to the city.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yep, So it's just kind of random, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Just a random thing. Now, are you a good singer, Hank?
I've never heard you sing? Would you? Would you mind
giving us, like, just give us like the first verse
and we're not going to go through the whole anthem,
but you're like little practice. Yeah, this would be good
practice for you. When do you get to do this?
By the way, when is this happening to.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
John Thannfield in Midneso they're taking on the Ramcho Cuza
Wonga quake.

Okay, wait all right, so May twenty eighth is when
it's happened. Hammer and Hank will be the the anthem singer. Now,

If you pull a very Buns autograph, which is humanly
possible but not likely. The cheapest one is like six
hundred dollars, and some of them are as high as
three thousand.

Wow, like a side game.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
He hasn't done baseball cards and autograph cards back Poled

East coast, were.

Like we had Hills in Nashville.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Did you really?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, it's like the kind of the half cursive writing. Yeah, yeah, Hills.
We used to go there. My grandma used to give
me a soft pretzel on a frozen coat and we
get some deals on toys.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Oh yeah, I've seen pictures of Hill. My close friend
that owns Hometown Collectibles used to work at a Hill.

but I've bought hell a figures off him, and I
bought a ninety two Scottie off him and it has
the Hills price tag on.

in and around Pittsburgh. It's a Hills food truck. So
like the the old like Hills snack bar that had
all this stuff, He's got all that stuff on the
Hills food truck that goes around to different events around Pittsburgh.
I think he's still doing it. It was a big
story when it came out, and.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I don't mean disrespect, and that's great, but you can't
replace the original Shill.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's not just any soft pretzel and frozen cook you
know what I mean. It's gotta be very specific top
carn and it's not like this guy's selling toys. Yeah, exactly, well,
half baked. Great to hear from me. I'm glad to
hear that. I think we somewhat squashed that beat. At least,
you know what, we cleared the lines of communication. Yeah yeah, yeah,
between between you and Hammer and Hank.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Know what they say, time heals most not like Nick Hogan.
He will never be forgiven kid Nick.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, he bake.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Thank you. I was great to hear it from you.
My friend will look forward to our next visit.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Okay, Alter so.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Much I want to ask him about what do you
want to ask him? I'll just go into I mean, Gina,
he's you might be one. He's way into collectible figurines
and baseball cards as an adult, but also pro wrestling.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You know, shocking walking that exceeded my expectations.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
But he cut off his interest in pro wrestling after
a certain time because like I forget what, like what
the what the.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What the line in the sand was?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
What the line of the was that well? I hated Vince.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
So he takes he took something in pro wrestling personally,
as you should anything.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Before that date. He knows it back and for.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Him shout out to Hammer and Hank and his performance
of the anthem at the desk of Nuts game. It was,
it's could be awesome. It's pretty good. All right, We're
gonna be a quick break, a little updated of MENACE's Friends.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Thank you all more what he showed next, Hang on.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Next, Thanks again to and congratulations to Hammer and Hank,
MENACE's old buddy Hammer and Hank.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
For joining us this morning. And someone congratulations on singing
the anthem at the Nuts game. Yep, modesto.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Nuts.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Are we gonna get a like a recording of them?
Speaker 5 (14:31):
We have to.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We have to be you know, a bunch of people
that hang out with him. Send somebody to video. Yeah,
I mean have a lot of fun friends in the area. Yeah.
Somebody said, also might be good to get like Hammer
and Hank or half Baked for what he show family feud.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Oh, that's an excellent idea.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
And I think we did a few things with with
Half BAKEDO we did it was it was a family feud. Yeah,
but I think we should do like a panel that
would be like like a real was one.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And then again somebody said on the text, hearing MENACE's
Friends explains a lot I'm sure he has other friends too,
but those two are interesting for radio.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Is it one of those things where you know, let's
say you're on the look scale, you're like a six
or a seven, you would hang around a bunch of
twos and threes, right, right, because like by comparison, right,
So like is it like you know, we hear the
word of the day. I'm trying to I'm not trying
to be mean. I'm just saying, like, you know, like,
(15:33):
so hang around like Hank and Half Baked. I mean,
you look like I don't like a genius.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
Like how I met Hank is to work, right, And
also I met half Big through work. Half Big at
a television station and then Hank at a radio station.
So it wasn't like we had classes together anything.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
What did half Big do it at a television station?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
He was an intern, so like he changed tapes and stop.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, but was he doing the news?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, behind the desk.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
I mean, I I love my friends groups because I know,
like guys are like you know, crazy genius tech billionaire
dudes and all the way down to.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
You know, yeah respect his his his group varies.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Yeah, yeah, and I forgot you know, half Baked as
a kid, I can't remember half Baked was.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
So he did go to my high school, but I
didn't know him in high school. He was at a
school that he had a little incident where.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
He rode the short bus to give.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
Well, like somebody made fun of him, and he rocked
that dude golf. He rocked him so hard that guy
couldn't go on a senior trip. And Half Baked was
a junior, and so he got kicked out of school.
He got transferred to the high school that I went to.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
You know, everything you tell me about half Baked makes
me like him more.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, he's a very likable guy.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
He is.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
He is, especially in person.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And the most random things that come out of his mouth.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Yeah, I would The only thing that I would say
about Half Big that he goes through cycles where he
gets stuck on a topic for a good five years.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh yeah, so he'll be like beans me.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
He'll he'll mention Vince McMahon for five years straight and
then he's onto because before that it was Michael Jackson.
Oh so he'll mention Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I'll bring that.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Do you think Michael Jackson did it? That would be
every day for five, like.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Wedge did any conversation?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, yeah, eighty four. Who's the most interesting person in
your life? Like a character? I would say for me,
it's my aunt Chrissy for sure. For sure, she's nuts,
she's she's a wild lover. I mean, but she's nuts
and she's consistent. Oh yeah, she's never not. I'm putting
on and a pride of Dormont, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
She's never had one of those days where it's just
that kind.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Of mellow Hey baby, how you doing this way out?
Let's check in and see what's happening on this Wednesday
morning trending news headlines.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Gina Grad Yes, Well Diddy is facing serious allegations in
his federal sex trafficking trial, and yesterday his ex girlfriend
Cassie Ventura took the stand with some intense testimony. She
described nearly a decade of abuse and said did he
forced her into drug fueled sex parties those of course
we've all heard about, called freakofs and controlled nearly every
part of her life, from her career, to her personal
(18:44):
relationships with other people to where she could go. Cassie
also talked about a bunch of physical abuse, including a
twenty sixteen assault in the hotel hallway, that security footage
of which was they showed that in court, and a
lot of us have already seen that online.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Just showed it on the news. Yeah, it's minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
She said the experience left her emotionally and physically broken.
Now Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including
racketeering and sex trafficking. His legal team claims everything was
consensual and just part of his quote celebrity lifestyle. The
trial is still unfolding, more witnesses expected in the next
few days. A judge has changed the sentence of Eric
(19:23):
and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of killing their parents.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
In this story is exhausted. I find this story troubling. Yeah, right,
it's like, what are we doing. We had a trial,
it was decided, they had a jury of their peers, right,
they were convicted. They were sentenced to life in prison
with no parole. They did it. They did the crime.
(19:47):
There's no question they did it. Okay, And you want
to argue abuse and things like that, fine, but just
because there's plenty of people who are abused and it
doesn't give them legal justification for murder. Right, Oh yeah, okay.
Actually just because Eric or Lyle whichever one, built a
(20:09):
garden in the prison, right, what does that matter.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Now that they're newly popular again.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, well I saw the judge. He had made some comment.
Do you have the quote in there about what the
judge said?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
I don't have the quote from the Yeah, I'll find.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It because I'm like, okay, why let me let me
find Yeah, you look for that.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
So, yeah, they're eligible for parole now. So they served
over thirty years in prison with no chance of release,
and now the resentencing, like what he said, fifty years
to life, which means they can now request parole since
the judge thinks they're no longer a major threat to society.
And I mean, I don't know that they're going to
kill anyone else's parents, but yeah, they seem to have
done the crime. So during the court hearing they have
(20:50):
a lot of emotional testimony from family members. Others described
how the brothers have changed for the better, and both
admitted guilt and expressed remorse the arc. Oh yeah, okay,
And the final decision on whether they get released will
be made by the State Parole Board and reviewed by
Governor Gavin Newsom. Now a clemency decision is expected in
mid June, so that would be like, okay, bye, thank
(21:13):
you for your service. You got that quote.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
After resentencing the brothers, the judge said he had given
the matter quote long thought, acknowledging they committed an absolutely
horrific crime and there's no way around it. But he
said he was moved by the brother's behavior behind.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Bars, moved.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Life without parole gives an inmate no hope, no reason
to do anything good, and I give him a lot
of credit. It's remarkable what they did when they had
no hope of getting out.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh it's like they're saying.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You built a garden and your fundraise for some other
thing to do in prison, Like, who gives an eff?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I was moved by these murderers, Like that's that's the opposite.
It's like, if you have nothing else.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
To do, their parents raped them, and their family knew
and did nothing cool, then bring the family up on
charges for not, you know whatever, being complicit. Again, I'm
sorry whatever happened to you, And plenty of people are
abused and whatever, But again, the law is the law. Look,
I am a vigilanti justice kind of guy, but I
also understand what reality is. The reality is is just
(22:16):
because I've been wronged or abused but whatever by somebody,
I can't just go and brutally murder them, as much
as I might have fantasized about it.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
I again, you can't really do that. I just wanted
to say one thing. I don't care that they murdered
their dad. If that actually happened, they still murdered their mom. Guys, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Because she just but she didn't do it.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
And it also opens the door to people just saying
stuff happened to them and that justifies their murder.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.
I was reading a lot of stuff yesterday that seems
to suggest that they're never really getting out, like this happened,
but they're never gonna It's like, was it Charles Manson
to go before the parole board or who is the
other person that it's kind of it's just now a
thing where it's like they go before the parole board
and they always get shot down. Oh they check that Mercellina,
(23:11):
No Manson, Yeah, yeah, one of them die.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
This might be this might be a mood just to
get people to shut up about already. I hope it is.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It would be nice and they can just kick the
can down the road right to.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
The next guy. Well back in twenty fourteen, Malaysia Airlines
Flight m AH seventeen disappeared over eastern Ukraine. Remember this
was a big story.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was gone, disappears.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
All two hundred and ninety eight people on board were
gone without a trace. It's been a mystery ever since.
But now the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization has
officially determined that Russia shot it down with a missile.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
The decision came makes sense. Playing like that with all
those people just doesn't disappear. You want to read some
good conspiracy theorists read up on that. Oh yeah, I
was abducted by aliens.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Well.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
The decision came after the Netherlands in Australia, Yeah, took
the case to court since most of the victims were
their citizens. The agency concluded that Russia violated the Chicago Convention,
which prohibits the use of weapons against civilian airplanes, and
the Netherlands in Australia are now asking Russia to pay
damages and talks are happening with the United Nations to
figure this out.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Wow, but even if you shot a plane down, wouldn't
they have found records?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Some guy recently who's claimed to found the coordinates of
where it landed or where the pieces ended up.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, but did not find any Well if they're fast,
so they haven't searched yet. Yeah, they have to go.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Looking for it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I would say they were looking for it right after
it happened. You would think that, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
But the exact place where it happened. This guy said
that he's actually found it.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
So is a big place.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, they have to go diamond and stuff. You gotta
get boats.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Well, MLB just made a big move. Pete Rose no
longer banned from baseball. Neither is shoeless Joe Jackson.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
A shoe is Joe he was banned.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, one the whole Black Sox scandal exactly.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred reinstated them yesterday, finally
making them eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. In fact,
Manfred unbanned everybody who's dead, saying, quote, obviously, a person
no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the
integrity of the game. So Pete Rose was banned in
nineteen eighty nine for betting on games will he was
managing the Cincinnati Reds. Shoeless Joe and seven other members
(25:31):
of the nineteen nineteen White Sox team were banned for
fixing the World Series. Pete and Joe can't get into
the Hall of Fame until twenty twenty eight, though at
the earliest. That's because their greatest contributions to baseball came
before nineteen eighty, which means they'd have to be considered
by this twelve person Classic Baseball Committee, and that's not
until twenty twenty seven. But I never understood the Pete
(25:52):
Rose thing because he wasn't betting against his team. You know,
why didn't you bet for your team? You weren't have
to win anyway?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, right, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
But I'm saying it's like he didn't fix the game
either way. He said, I'm so confident in my team,
I'm putting money on it.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I mean, I understood them making a point, But I
mean he's the all time hits leader, right and had
nothing to do with any of that, right. You know,
I think Barry Bond should be in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, well,
now there's a chance for very Bond. Yeah, although Pete
Rose this is an interview that he did pretty soon
before he died, and he was saying like, well, if
it happens after I'm dead, he didn't seem all that
(26:27):
pumped about that idea.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
I don't see much sense and putting me on the
ballot after I die. Most of the people who root
it for me my whole career would love to see
me in the Hall of Fame as a living player,
not as someone is ten feet under. What good would
it do in my family if they put me in
the Hall of Fame after I die, Because I'm the
one who did the work. I'm the one that put
the time in. I'm the one who was dedicated to
(26:49):
the game of baseball. I was the one dedicated to
my teammates and for the game of baseball in general.
I tried to sell the game for my twenty four
years as a major League baseball player by going after
every day and busting my ass and trying and entertain
new people.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
He was a character for sure. It's like, yeah, my family,
they didn't do nothing.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I think this is more about I want to see it.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
You don't want to say that if you're jonesing to
gamble that hard. Can't you just get a proxy? Just
be like, hey Whatodi? Yeah, I got this game tonight.
I want you to bet on it for me.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Yeah, are gambling?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Like yeah, I guess somebody just recently did that. Yeah
well yeah, yeah, I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Knowingly not you know, taking somebody's identities, taking their money
and doing it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, never mind, Oh.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
You're going down a rabbit hole. Yeh, conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, Tommy was getting uh text coming over three and four.
We're confusing MH seventeen, the Malaysian Airlines Image seventeen with
another Malaysian Airlines flight.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
What's up with Malaysian air Line.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Which disappeared over the Java Sea? Oh that was they
know that MH seventeen was shot down, but had to
determine where the missile came from.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Oh so this is not Oh I thought this was
the missing one.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I only knew about one Malaysian Airlines flight, I mean
from the top of mind.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yeah same, Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Okay, how many flights.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
In Malaysia go missing? Too many for fight well, yeah,
too many for marketers.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I know where I'm not going exactly.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
How you're not flying? Well, ESPN will launch a new
streaming service this fall, which will let people watch lots
of sports without needing cable or satellite. The service will
be offered as a standalone option and as part of
a bundle with other Disney owned services like Hulu Disney Plus.
Two pricing options will be available. One is an unlimited
plan with all ESPN networks and ABC broadcasts that's going
(28:44):
to be twenty nine ninety nine a month, and another
is the Select plan with the current ESPN Plus service,
the full bundle of streaming services including ESPN and Hulu
Disney Plus everything, that'll be available for thirty five ninety
nine a month.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, So the good one I think I need to do.
I think you just need to cancel everything. I'm gonna
cancel all of the streaming start and I'm gonna start fresh. Yes,
because as Hulu announced Hulu without Ads, I signed up
for that. I have ESPN Plus because hockey there was
gonna be certain games that I wanted to watch. I
want to watch Penguin games that were only gonna be
(29:19):
on ESPN Plus, so I signed up for that. I
have Disney Plus, which I signed up for individually when
they first launched that. So these are all bundled together
one right, and there's other ones, uh, Discovery with Max
with Max. So I think what I need to do
is just cancel everything and then start from the beginning
(29:40):
and then just go all right when I go to
that and go, oh, would you like to bundle with what? Yes?
Because I guarantee they're not telling you that, uh, you know,
I'm paying for the Hulu, the Disney and the other one.
They're not saying, hey, by the way, you know, you
can use together and you can spend less and get
the same thing. They're not telling you that.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
I think mine automatically bundled my Hulu and Disney plus, well,
aren't you No, I think that it's happening.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Say it might have happened for me too, but I'm
not sure. And then I remember, like, because oh, through
your cell phone provider, you get the streaming service for free,
I think I'm really missing out on Yeah. And I
think a lot of people they just you know, go okay, cool, We'll.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Just keep adding adding yeah.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
And I'm with you, Like I just opened up HBO Max,
and I think it was like the first time in
maybe eight months I did that because I had to
watch practical magic talk about what this movie is about,
and it's major, major sus in the plot line. But yeah,
but I was like, yeah, I've been paying for the
past eight months and haven't even like opened this app
(30:40):
at all.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Right, yeah, same, same. It's a paramount, I think, and
you can always sign back up like once the next
season of like Tulsa King or something.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I had it for Fraser and Tulsa King.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Pay monthly for two shows.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Yeah, and real quick with Malaysia Airlines. Those two accents,
the H three seventy and the MH seventeen happened within
four months of each.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Other, So maybe that's why.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Yeah, well that's what's going on, Woodie.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Thank you very much, Gina Grad's a woody show.
