10-15-25 - *FULL SHOW* Ryan Schuiling Filling In For Ross

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Most important things President Trump has done recently, as he

(00:02):
is pledged that he's going to go after ANTIF. And
what I've been urging is follow the money. Cut off
the money. And you look at this No King's rally,
and there's considerable evidence that George Soros at his network
is behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots
all across the country, and Soros is is writing the check.
And so I've introduced legislation called the Stop Funders Act

(00:26):
that would add rioting to the list of predicate offenses
for RICO. Why is that because it would let the
Department of Justice use RICO racketeering to prosecute the money
that is funding the anti Semitic protests on campuses, the
pro open border protest in LA and other cities, and
these No King protests, anyone that is supporting rioting and

(00:49):
violence that lets you go after the money.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
That is Senator Ted Cruz and he will be joining
me coming up at ten forty five am. As you
may have hear heard Gina and Chad talking about earlier.
We appreciative of his time. There are a lot of
topics to cover and I only have about nine minutes
with him, So looking to have your help. Along with that,
you can text us at fifty six six ninety if

(01:13):
you have a question for Senator Cruz. The voice that
you're hearing Ryan Schuling filling in for Ross Kaminski both
today and tomorrow. Shannon Scott on the other side of
the glass, and what I call that, it's the Detroit Connection.
We're here in Denver, reunited and it feels so good.
Lots to come on this program along with your text
again at fifty six six ninety on the KOA Common

(01:34):
Spirit Health text line. My conversation with Denesh to Susan
The Dragon's Prophecy. It is a film that was in
theaters last week here in Colorado and across the nation,
and it is available online at the Dragons prophecyfilm dot Com.
I'll have that coming up at the bottom of this hour. Also,
Lindsay Dako will join me. Jeff Co Kids First, another

(01:57):
incident there with regard to a school board candidate that
you'll want to hear more about, especially if you reside
within Jeffco. And plenty more still to come on zoron
Mamdani and the confluence of him and the far left
in New York City, in that mayoral race. A conversation
with Ted Cruz again coming up at ten forty five am,

(02:19):
he discusses this No King's rally, which I've had my
eye on as well, and this is coming to Denver,
and this from Westward where what to know? Last time
five thousand people came to the Colorado State Capitol in
Denver there, and they're looking to have more this time
around reported five million people nationally. And this is what

(02:42):
Ted Cruz, the Senator is referring to. With the protests
that are scheduled not only for Denver but also coming
up in Colorado Springs. It's expected to draw thousands there.
Now I look at one side of this and it's fine.
It's your First Amendment right to gather to protests to
make your thoughts known. And according to local organizers, this
per Westward. Denver's second No Kings demonstration will feature live

(03:06):
music that sounds fun, speeches informational booths, chants, sign making
in a format that sounds similar to the activist fares
hosted at recent protests there. And as long as it
stays peaceful, not mostly peaceful, because we know what that means.
That means somewhat not peaceful, then there should be no
problem with this. But what Senator Cruz is hinting at

(03:28):
here he wants to pass legislation that would link rioting
to the RICO Act. Now, the RECO Act is designed
to break apart organized crime structures that might not be
directly implicated or involved in the commission of a crime,
but they have the funding that goes behind it. And
this of course was targeting the American mafia at one time.

(03:52):
And this will be the clip that I play going
into the conversation with Senator Cruz because it ties into
what's happening both locally here in Denver and throughout the country.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
There are more than two hundred left wing groups behind
these No Kings rallies this weekend. They deliberately are blind
to what each of the others are doing. That's part
of how they avoid accountability. RICO is designed for precisely
that sort of criminal enterprise. And so I believe the
Senate we ought to take up and vote on and

(04:22):
pass our stop Funders legislation.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
And I've urged both.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Pam Bondi at DOJ and Cash Betel at FBI follow
the money and prosecute those who are writing checks funding
acts of violence, political violence or otherwise across the country.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
And if it turns violent, that's one thing.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
But even if they're annoying to say Senator Cruz or
the President of the United States, if it's what it's
being described in this Westward article, again, I don't really
see a problem with it. And inviting your thoughts if
you're planning on attending this No King's rally in Denver,
or if you know somebody who is at fifty six,
this seems to be a more productive and fruitful route

(05:03):
of protest rather than some of the measures that we've
seen from some of the extreme elements of the left
in which political violence is being tolerated. Now, another kind
of route that I want to explore here is Senator
Bernie Sanders and AOC, the representative from the state of
New York, appearing in a town hall with Caitlyn Collins

(05:27):
on CNN last night. It didn't get off to a
great start for AOC.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Instead of talking about having air that's drinkable, well, I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Want air that's drinkable. I want air that's breathable, and
I would like water that's drinkable. If our air turns
into a liquid substance. I think we have bigger problems
to worry about than just the climate change that perhaps
she is championing. And this from Bernie Sanders was a
tell and see if you can pick up on what's
going on here. Caitlyn Collins no ally of President Trump.

(05:58):
And there was a rather infamous townhall that took place
in which President Trump he didn't get the chance to
testify and explain Egene Carroll and some of the background
on her with regard to her cat, who is named
Vagina at Kaitlyn College, she had quite a time with that.

(06:19):
But she had her hands full here too, just asking
a very simple question to AOC. Is the Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer currently being tagged as responsible for the
government shutdown? And I think accurately is he inviting a
primary challenge and more specifically from her?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
This is how that went.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
But are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be
worried about a primary challenge?

Speaker 3 (06:41):
From you?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Talking about I have a country that is falling apart.
We got a house housing crisis, a healthcare crisis, an
education crisis, massive income and wealth and equality, a corrupt
campaign finances, and the media says, oh, you could run.
Nobody cares.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Here's the House Speaker and President Trump and the Vice
president saying it.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Pardon of course, they're saying it to deflect attention away.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
From the real issue exactly.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
And you let me tell you what the real issue is.
But CEEFC and N talks about it. We're living in
the richest country in the history of the world.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Here we go, all right.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
You tell me why we're the only nation not the
guarantee healthcare old people, the only nation not the guarantee
paid family and medical lead. Why we have a seven
dollars and twenty five cent an hour minimum wage. Why
we have eight hundred thousand people sleeping out on the street.
Why we have a president who denies the reality of
climate change. Why we have oligaruts on top we have

(07:43):
more and more power every day. Let's talk about that issue,
not her own political future.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
She'll decide that. I'll have to unpack there and real quickly.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
First of all, Bernie Sanders, you are the oligarch you
warned us about. If you notice, he no longer rails
against million a billionaires, it's.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Just the billionaires. So why is that? Because he became
a millionaire.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Nobody has made more money from capitalism by ripping capitalism
than Bernie Sanders in a life long government funded position,
first in the House, then in the Senate. This guy
runs a racket. It's a total scam. That's who he is,
that's what he does. And that list of talking points

(08:25):
that he slides into oligaux, oligaux the billionaires who like
that does not answer the question, and it's a legitimate
question from Caitlin Collins. If there's a leadership struggle within
the Democratic Party and that AOC might challenge Chuck Schumer
for that Senate seat, that's a story that's of interest
to the voters. Yeah, that matters. But instead, not only

(08:46):
does he why is he talking? Why isn't AOC speaking
on her own behalf for herself? This makes this a
very bad look. It infantalizes her with a man explaining
by him of oh, stopping old the thunder like she
doesn't need you, bro or she shouldn't. And if she does, well,
that's a whole different set of problems and issues. So

(09:08):
bit of comic relief there. Looking for your text this
morning at fifty six sixth ninety. We'll get to those
and much much more. As we roll on with the
Roskaminski Show, Ryan Shooling filling in on KOA and No
Kings Rally? Are you going? Do you know somebody that
is here in Denver? And there's another one in Colorado Springs?
And I got this from Shannon. This is high quality. Shannon,

(09:29):
you're saying you're organizing eight Little Kings rally instead of
a No King's Rally. Explain those little green bottles really
got their hooks in me back in the eighties. Now
I know that you'd no longer im vibe anymore. Right,
you don't drink, but.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
It's so small.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
What harm could it do?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
It could go wrong? Would you have just one? Can
you do that? Are you on that kind of wagon
or what's going on? I think it's like lace. You
can't have just one ook. It's like a potato chip.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I got you, No, I hear you, But yeah, that
looks like a really fun It's a little King's bottle.
It's green. So you know we've spoken about this before.
I like beers and bottles. I don't like beers and cans.
But for some reason, in Colorado, all the craft beer
producers you love putting stuff in cans.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Now, I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
They stopped brewing my favorite odell Ipa in bottles. Very
upset about that it's only in cans. Cans are awful,
I mean compared drinking like a can of coke to
it when it comes in the bottle. You know, the
Mexican coke, that's the good stuff. It's totally different. But
beer in bottles anyway, predominantly you want them in brown

(10:34):
bottles because that blocks out the sun and when sunlight
penetrates the bottle gets into the beer, it skunks. You
know this because if you've had Heineken in a green
bottle or any of those others amstell Light, I believe
it will be another one they skunk up pretty badly.
And then the clear bottles forget about it. Corona. Why
do you think they put lines in Corona? It's because
of that. So this Little Kings is in a green

(10:56):
bottle like middle of the road. Did it ever skunk
on you there, Shannon? You keep it out of the
sunlight and on ice. They didn't last too long.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Okay, okay? And then they get say, how would you
describe the taste of Little King's beer? Almost like a bubblegum. Really,
I was not expecting that description.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
It seemed fake.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Sweet, it was a fake? Was it totally fake beer?
That's why we like little Kings instead of no kings.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Okay, you didn't keep me from drinking an entire case
the night before my senior photo.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's amazing. And where's this brood? I've never seen it before,
and I think I know a lot about beers.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
I don't know the origin. Is it American or you
don't know that either?

Speaker 6 (11:37):
I do not know.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well, I'll look that up during the break.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
One thing we want to keep reminding you of here
in this first hour the Ross Kamenski Show, and if
you're very confused, join the club. Shannon and I are
as well, Ryan Schuling filling in. You can listen to
me week days over on our sister station six point
thirty k HOW two to four pm in the Mountain
time zone, filling in for Ross today and tomorrow. And
that answers this text coming in on the koa common
spirit health text line.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'm not sure how to take this one. Ryan.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
We love you like pancakes, but will you be in
the Captain's chair again tomorrow? As well? Is that a
good I mean, I think pancakes are amazing, but maybe
you don't want to have them two days in a row.
Is that what you're saying. Stay in there, Texter, which
I understand. I get it. I want Ross pack just
as much as you do. But he's got time away
and I believe he's enjoying it. He told me he

(12:27):
was going on a college tour with his son in California.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Why would you do that?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
He also informed me I learned something from Ross every
time I talk to him at Pepperdine is one of
the schools that they're touring. And you wouldn't necessarily guess this,
but this is what Ross says. Pepperdine is the most
expensive college in the country, including Harvard and Yale and
MIT and all of them, Pepperdine is top of the charts.

(12:55):
So Ross might be paying a pretty penny if that's
where his son decides to go to some other ones
as well, and then he's going to enjoy some time
with the wife for the rest of the week, and.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
That'll be good for him.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Ryan, I'm a fifty seven year old male, says this Texter,
married thirty years.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
How about the no Queen's rally. Lol.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Did your wife see that text? Because you might need
that rally as it stands. After that, we will be
speaking with Senator Ted Cruz, very excited about this opportunity
coming up in our second hour today at ten forty
five am in the Mountain time zone. And here is
something he said earlier this week that's raised some eyebrows

(13:34):
but might be on point.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
What happened to Barack Obama?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Look, I think he is number one incredibly arrogant and
aloof but number two hard, hard left. And you look
at listen, Joe Biden was not president for the last
four years.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
He was not capable of it. He was not running.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Question I get asked most often for years was who's.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
Running the White House?

Speaker 7 (13:59):
Me too.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Here's the terrifying answer. I genuinely do not know my
best theory. I think it was Barack Obama and as cronies.
But look, the Biden White House was by any measure,
massively to the left of where Obama was. But I
don't think that's because Obama wasn't in crazy town. I
just think the country wasn't ready to go all the

(14:21):
way to crazy town. What has happened is Trump became
president and any semblance of moderate Democrats fled and they're
all now crazy.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
You know, when I was dating a woman who might be,
you know, that kind of hot and crazy scale and
what you're able willing to tolerate, one of the things
I would say is that she's on the last train
the crazy town, and apparently that's where the Democratic Party went.
Per Senator Ted Cruz and he'll join us at ten
forty five am. Coming up next, my conversation with Denesh Desuza.

(14:54):
He has produced a new film and the timing could
not be better with the peace deals struck by President
Trump in the Middle East, The Dragon's Prophecy. We'll discuss
that with him when we come back. More of the
Rosskominski Show, Ryan Schuling filling in.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
This is Koa.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
It was in theaters last week, including right here in Colorado.
It is now available to stream online The Dragon's Prophecy
and joining us the executive producer, creator of that film
and many others that you no doubt have watched over
the last several years, Danish Desuza.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Proud to have him as our guest. Denish, thank you
for your time.

Speaker 8 (15:26):
As always, Hey, it's my pleasure delighted with this new film,
which seems to fit so well into our current moment,
and the film.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
In a way tries to see things from the widest perspective,
in other words, not just the political, but also the
spiritual and the biblical.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
And to your point, Danish, when you started production on this,
there's no way you could have anticipated it lining up
almost exactly with the events of what we've seen over
this last week, with this unprecedented sixth sas by President
Trump in striking a peace deal in the Middle East,
a ceasefire in Gaza, return of the hostages. Those who

(16:08):
were alive, there were only twenty remaining, all of the male,
none of them female. And he had this to say
today speaking before the Kanesse, the chamber of the legislature
in Israel.

Speaker 9 (16:18):
This is not only the end of a war. This
is the end of the age of terror and death
and the beginning of the age of faith and hope,
end of God. It's the start of a grand concord
and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations of
what will soon be a truly magnificent region.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
I believe that so strongly.

Speaker 9 (16:44):
This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East in.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
The nation only is that true.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think this permanently rebukes any criticisms of him that
we have heard, you and me both of Donald Trump
as Adolf Hitler. It's so ridiculous. He's the exact opposite
of that. He is a peacetime president. He's a president
four piece. He has stout now eight wars in just
over eight months in office. It's an incredible feat and
accomplishment here. I'm just wondering from your perspective, densh and

(17:15):
making this film the end of this wars, we hope
that this is what that means for the region, and
the fact that President Trump was the one to broker
this deal.

Speaker 7 (17:27):
I think Trump's genius is to see possibilities where other
people don't see it. In my adult lifetime, I've lived through,
you know, the Nixon Plan, the Carter Plan, the Clinton Plan.
So many people have made attempts, and yet they haven't
really even gotten very much off the ground. It's almost
like Trump comes in with a different perspective. The perspective

(17:50):
really more of like a real estate developer.

Speaker 10 (17:52):
He looks at the rubble.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
In Goza and he goes like, this is not good.
You know, we need buildings here, we need we need prosperity,
we need people in it's going to work, and we
need maybe a Trump hotel. And the other thing about
Trump is that he understands the importance of bringing in
the other Muslim countries, the Saudist and the Gulf Kingdoms

(18:15):
and the United Arab Emirates and so on, so that
this is not perceived to be some kind of an
American reign over Gaza or Israeli supervision over a kind
of reluctant population of Gaza, but rather it is.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
An international setup to.

Speaker 7 (18:33):
Offer these people who have endured a war in bloodshed
a better path. Now, if the Bible is to be believed,
it's difficult to solve these problems permanently, and maybe that
won't happen till the end of time. But it's not
to say that in the meantime you cannot make intermediate
progress and try to at least get things to simmer

(18:54):
down from a terrible war that has wreaked a lot
of havoc over the last two years.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Dinush Desuza our guest.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
His film The Dragon's Prophecy now available online for streaming,
and it covers the events and the aftermath of October seventh.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Twenty twenty three and Denesh.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
This film has a strong thread line of spirituality in it.
The foundations of the religions of the world, really the
three most major religions of the world in the Muslim faith,
but then also Judeo Christian roots. You talk about that
a bit with Mike Hakkabee, who is now the ambassador
to Israel. You speak about it, I think quite eloquently
in this film. And how I want to tie that

(19:34):
all together with President Trump is I think we've seen
a renewed and perhaps a new spiritual purpose in our
president since the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and where
he sees not only his place in the world, but
his place in all of time. How much do you
think that perspective that he's gained from that may have
contributed to his ability to see the bigger picture?

Speaker 3 (19:56):
As you stated, I.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
Think that Trump his mind is in many ways very secular.
He looks at things kind of like, you know, what
is the probability that my head could have turned in
a slightly different direction, and he's he almost gives it
like casino odds, So he doesn't start out at the
spiritual but I think he realizes that he has lived

(20:20):
through such improbable events that something bigger must be at work.
And I think something bigger actually is at work. We
see in the Bible a number of cases where where
God in a sense uses and directs figures, even figures
who aren't particularly religious on their own, but nevertheless they
are moved into sort of this larger unfolding plot of

(20:43):
biblical history and even biblical prophecy. And I think Trump
is looming as one of those sort of biblical sized figures,
larger than life, who is bringing about remarkable changes in
a region that is, as you say, the most religiously
contested region on play on at.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Earth the Dragons prophecyfilm dot com. That's the website where
you can find a Danish Desuza our guest. Kind of
a two part question here, Denish, because you have been
in the news recently and I've been applauding your remarks
because I come at this from a very similar angle.
I believe as you do, and that is unequivocal, unwavering
support for Israel, and that we wouldn't even think to

(21:21):
question that based on our shared roots, heritage, our shared
interest the alliance that is therein and we've seen the
anti Semitism on the left on college campuses, and I
think I've talked to you about that as well in
the past. But there's this new uprising and I'm not
sure what the genesis of this is pun intended with
the likes of Candice Owens, Tucker Carlson, and you've taken

(21:43):
them to task about some of the things that they've
said about Israel and about the Jewish people.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
What was your main.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Point in focus there and why did you feel was
important to say.

Speaker 7 (21:54):
Well, it's important because it is. What they're doing is
they are fracturing the Trump coalition, the Maga coalition. I
think they're ultimately hurting the interests of the United States,
and they are helping the two worst groups in the world,
which is the cultural left on the one hand, and

(22:16):
on the other hand, these radical Jihadis. And those two groups,
by the way, are in a kind of strange bedfellows
alliance with each other. This might seem really odd because
neither group can fit comfortably in the other group's world.
They have very different end goals, but nevertheless they are
united in a kind of common hatred and who do

(22:38):
they hate. Well, they hate on the one hand the
Jews and Israel and on the other hand, Christians and
the West. So it seems to me strategically obvious that
Jews and Christians need to come closer together in a
united front against these sort of diabolical foes. And that's
why it's particularly exasperating and dismay to see people on

(23:01):
our own side. I mean, I kind of understand why
the left behaves the way it does because they're allied
with the Jihadis, but for people on our side to
essentially drive a wedge between America and Israel, to try
to imply that there's something about Christiani that involves sort
of kicking out the Old Testament, as if we don't
need God the Father, we only need God the Son

(23:21):
and God the Holy Spirit, reducing the Trinity from three
to two. I mean, all of this seems to me
politically absurd, bloshemous that on so many different counts that
I felt almost like Moraley obliged to speak out very
stridently about it.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
And Denish Desuza really paints a wonderful picture of that juncture,
that joining together of the Judeo Christian value system of
our history that shared heritage. As Densh mentions the Old Testament,
the New Testament derives from it. I know that Mike Huckabee,
who's a reverend himself, believes in that as well. And

(23:57):
you can find out more about the film once again
online line the Dragon's prophecyfilm dot com. Dene's just one
more question about our current political climate and that maybe
a daylight today can help lower the temperature a bit
because of what President Trump has been able to accomplish.
But I want to get your reaction to what happened
a month ago with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. You

(24:18):
are a prominent voice on the right as well. You
are labeled by the left as a conspiracy theorist, as
a far right extremist, and I think these labels are
harmful in that they may make you a target in
a similar way. What was your reaction to the death
of Charlie Kirk, what the motive might have been behind it,
and what the left is doing to drive it. Do
you fear for your own personal safety if you made

(24:39):
adjustments to measures and how you conduct security for yourself personally.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
I used to do a whirlwind of campus touring for
really two decades, starting in the early to mid nineteen nineties,
but it was.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
A safer time.

Speaker 7 (24:56):
There were showdowns and students who would run out of
the audio screaming, but I never really had to worry
about being physically attacked, let alone being shot in the
next So it's a mark of how much our public
culture has become degraded. I think it's also the case
that you now have these very violent Antifa and trans networks.

(25:17):
They actually train for violence, and they have an ideology
that makes them very susceptible to it. The ideology is
that they are fighting fascism. The other side, the Republicans
and the Christians are fascists, and they have a right
to do quote, they have a right to oppose them
by any means necessary. So the shooter, in a way

(25:37):
is simply, in a way following through on this kind
of a debased logic. I do think that I was
a Charlie's funeral right up there in the front, and
I did feel that there was a spirit of revival,
of invigoration, of restoration. And I think that this film
The Dragon's Prophecy sits into that mood very well, because

(25:58):
while it takes you into some places October seventh, in
a sense that even unfurdles the Devil's Handbook. The Devil
is the Dragon, by the way, and the title of
the film. Ultimately, the film leaves you, I think, on
a note of being spiritually uplifted, and so I think
people who watch this film will come out very invigorated.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
As I am after all of Denesh Disus's films. I
feel invigorated. I could tell from the trailer and then
also the content of this and it's woven so nicely
in a storytelling manner about the history of the religions
in that region and why the conflict exists in the
first place, and what the long term ramifications are.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
For what he could not predict.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Denesh could not predict, and that is the Trump peace
accord that has just been struck now, Dansh, I did
want to get you to respond to something that Christian
Amanpur from CNN said today. This is making some headlines
and because of your background and knowledge now having accumulated
from making this film, what you're responses to her characterization

(27:02):
of how Hamas treated the hostages here.

Speaker 11 (27:04):
And I think for sure, people who start to talk
to the hostages have only just been released, will find
that it will take a long long time for them
to recover physically but also mentally. It's been a terrible,
terrible two years with them, because not only are they there,
but you know, they're probably been treated better than the
average Garsen because they are the pawns and the chips

(27:26):
that Hamas had. Now Hamas has given up all its leverage,
by the way, by giving them all up, so that
is a victory.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
May she not be wrong, and that these hostages Denash
were treated better than the average Gasen by Hamas.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
A very strange thing to say. She is quite right
that the Gosens don't value the lives of their own people.
I was thinking the other day, you know, why is
it the case that Israel has never taken any hostages?
And of course you might say, well, Israel is better,
they don't do things like that. But the real answer
to that, the question is simply this Israel doesn't take

(28:03):
hostages because it wouldn't do them any good. Imagine if
you grabbed a bunch of Palestinian women and children, Hamas
would say, go ahead and kill them, we don't really care.
So there's a sense in which Christianaman, who is right.
But I think that makes a different point than the
one she's trying to make.

Speaker 10 (28:19):
The real point to make is.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
That Hamas doesn't really care about its own people and
is perfectly happy to sacrifice them really for nothing.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
The Dragon's prophecyfilm dot com. That's the website where you
can find it. You can stream it now was in
theaters last week. Danish Desuza our guest deanessh. Whenever you
put a film like this together, I like to ask
you the question of retrospect, What you really found out
afterward that.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
You didn't know going in.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
You might have some ideas going in of what you
think you might encounter, but what really jumped off the
film for you that you witnessed, that you encountered in
putting this all together.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
Well, I've made a bunch of films, and they have
by and large and political and historical. This film moves
into the realm of the spiritual and even the prophetic.
So I've always had difficulty with the idea of being
able to forecast events before they even occur, and yet
the Bible is full of the sort of stunning predictions

(29:20):
such as the Jews will be scattered to the ends
of the earth, and then they will come back, and
not just come back together again, They'll come back to
the same land that they left. They will restore their language,
they will eat the same food, they will worship the
same God. And all of this extremely improbable type of
prediction then comes to path in nineteen forty eight. So

(29:40):
the Bible sort of has its own sort of timetable
of unfolding events. And it also suggests this idea of
a world behind the world, in which the things we
see in front of us actually a reverberation of larger
forces of good and evil. And so all of this,
I think has captivated me great and I think that

(30:01):
that sense of mystery and wonder and spiritual profundity is
in this film. Many people have said it's my most
spectacular and most profound film, I think. But this is
the reason. The topics that it covers are inherently that way.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
The Dragon's Prophecy the name of the film, and you
can find it online at the dragonsprophecyfilm dot Com. Final question, Nash,
because I've always been fascinated with your story, with your background,
what brought you to America. You served in the Reagan administration.
You've been a lifelong conservative voice. And how you might
compare and contrast the greatness of Ronald Reagan, that was

(30:36):
he was my favorite president to what we are experiencing
now with President Trump. Maybe not a true conservative in
every stripe, but you cannot deny his accomplishments, his achievements.
How would you compare and contrast those two.

Speaker 7 (30:51):
They're both larger than life figures. I think Reagan dominates
the second half of the twentieth century, and much the
same way that FDR dominates the first half of it. Clearly,
Trump emerges initially as a kind of anti Obama. Obama
sets his plan in motion to remake America.

Speaker 10 (31:13):
He has two terms to do it.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
He tries to extend that through Biden, but Trump is
his great nemesis. But Trump is not rising above all
that and proving to be a massive figure in his
own right and clearly the dominant figure so far up
the twenty first century. So I think it's difficult to
do a verdict on Trump until he finishes his two terms,
because you need a little bit of that retrospective to

(31:37):
be able to do that. But I think it's quite
clear he's proving to be a massively consequential president and
cementing his place in the annals of American.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
History, especially with the accomplishments over this last week or
so and punctuated today by his appearance in front of
the Kanesset and freeing the hostages Hamas was basically cudgeled
into doing. And now there is a piece. Will it
be a lasting piece? We will see. But very few
presidents could have done, and in fact none have done

(32:07):
what President Trump just did. The dragons prophecyfilm dot com
is where you can find his film, The Dragon's Prophecy.
Always a fascinating conversation. Danish DEESUSA. Thank you so much
for your time and for all you do.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
Absolutely, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
And that conversation from earlier this week yours truly, Ryan
Schuling filling in for ros Kaminski and getting to your
texts on the koa common Spirit health text line. This
one's saying Denesh lost all credibility with his two thousand mules.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
There were a.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Lot of questions that came out of that. I always
want to go in with an open mind and the
way that I feel about the twenty twenty election and
I've said this many times when I've been in concert
with Dan Kaplis, who I believe is largely aligned with
my thought process on this. The rules were changed in
the midst of the game. There were states that instituted

(32:57):
mail and balloting that had not done it before, not
like Colorado, including my home state of Michigan. And when
there is mass mail in ballots and those ballots are
sent out and they are not requested by the voters,
that opens itself up to fraud and the probability of fraud. Now,
it's one thing to think that, it's another thing to
think you know that, and then it's had another thing

(33:20):
to prove that. So I think I heard this in
some legal circles, professors and otherwise.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
And I actually heard it.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
In a criminal justice class that I took with the
great Judge Fleming at Jackson Community College. I was a
Golden Jet and he said, it's not what you know,
it's what you can prove.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
And that was always my sticking point, whether it.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Was Jenna Ellis or Rudy Giuliani or any of these
others on behalf of Trump that were coming out. We
have massive fraud. We have evidence of it present the evidence.
They did not get granted that hearing standing in any
court in any part of the country. Now one might
argue that they should have been granted that standing, but
they were not. And so my whole thing, I really

(34:01):
come at this from a sports perspective. It's my background,
it's what I've done. I mean, Benjamin Olibright and I
have had these conversations too.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
I'm a Detroit Lions fan.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I think that the Lions got largely screwed in that
Sunday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Many of
you brought ghost fans probably agree with me, and we're
rooting for the Lions. That trick play that they ran
Jared Goff, the quarterback goes in motion to the left.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Oh, I didn't on a register himself as.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
A running back, even though it was revealed afterward head
coach Dan Campbell had informed the referee crew of that
play that they might run it, that they were aware
of it. This goes back to Dan Skipper reporting is
eligible two point conversion in Dallas that gets wiped off
the board.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
So I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
And sometimes the calls go against you and you think
that you got screwed.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
But it's not what you know, it's what you can prove.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
And sometimes the result is not what you want it
and it stinks. But what can you do in the aftermath.
You can cry about it, or you can work to
change it. So we've seen some of the these reforms
in the state of Georgia for instant to tighten up
the security of the balloting process. I'm not a big
fan of the all male in balloting here in Colorado,
but those are the rules of the game. That's what
we have here in the state, and so all we

(35:12):
can do is to work to ensure that our elections
now and going forward have integrity. And that's where I
come down on that issue. A time out, we're back
our number two, straight ahead, Ryan Schuling filling in for
Ross Kaminski. This is koa at was MTV at its zenith,
at its peak, at its pinnacle.

Speaker 6 (35:32):
I Moonman, the Rocket Launch and the Moonman, the moon Man.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
It was like that. And I think back because I
was a little guy. My dad he was awesome and
he loved rock music, and so I had kind of
like the cool dad, the boomer dad growing up that
was into like Jimi Hendrix led Zeppelin, Beatles, The Who,
And he was as enthusiast to watch MTV as I was.
And we had cable television. We were probably in a

(35:57):
minority percentage of our neighborhood, Rush Lake, Paintney, Michigan, had
the cable installed all of like twenty odd bucks a month. Now,
back then it was a little bit more if you
adjust for inflation. But my dad got it because we
wanted it. And I remember MTV. I remember that first day.
I remember Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles

(36:18):
being the first ever video aired there. And I remember
hold On Loosely thirty eight special. Just talked about that
in a recent week. That was the thirteenth video played
that day. And throughout my youth growing up in the eighties,
Stranger Thing style for you young people, they maybe can't
relate directly, but if you watch that series, you'd get
an idea.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Of what it was like.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Cable television was new nineteen eighty one. You think about that.
What Dragon just reference. They show the Neil Armstrong moon landing,
which now some people are saying is fake. That had
been only twelve years prior to MTV launching.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Think about that.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
So here I am all of maybe barely seven years old,
and I'm enjoying all these videos they're playing back to
back to back. It became an art form. Artists, musicians
began kind of writing and stylizing their music to be
more video oriented. You remember some of them like Michael
Jackson's Thriller or Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer Great Video or Money

(37:19):
for Nothing by dire Strait's cutting edge at the time
for its animation, and it fueled this entirely different genre
not only of music, but how music was viewed, how
it was presented, and it was a totally big cosmic
change in the pop culture universe. And Ethos Well, I
bring all of this up to saying many of us

(37:41):
knew that if it was on life support, that was
putting it kindly. But MTV this is basically the beginning
of the end. And we go back to last Friday,
in this article by Newsweek, MTV shutting down music channels
what to Know on Friday, October tenth MTV and that
it will close five channels in the UK after.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Nearly forty years. Why it matters.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I love how they write these articles now, it's like
piecemeal for I guess the gen zs that can't pay attention,
don't have the attention spanned to read.

Speaker 6 (38:12):
Give me the TLDR, Buddy TA.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Thank you, Wow, Dragon's Hip tl DR Urban Dictionary too long,
didn't read even I knew that, and I'm on the
older side of understanding that lingo. I don't like abbreviations.
They messed me up anyway, Why it matters. MTV launched
in nineteen eighty one and was the first twenty four
hour music broadcaster in the world. In this from Newsweek,

(38:36):
it has been a lynchpin in popular culture, with iconic
moments airing on the broadcaster, including the video for Michael
Jackson's Thriller in nineteen eighty three, a sixteen hour broadcast
of Live Aid concerts back in nineteen eighty five that
was momentous. Go back to Queen's performance at Live Aid.
Dire Straits at Live Aid, the who at Live Aid,

(38:58):
everybody that was anybody back then was part of that concert.
Madonna's iconic performance of Like a Virgin in nineteen eighty four.
That performance caused my mom to ban me from watching
MTV for a couple of weeks. I thought it was great.
Now I didn't know why it was great. I was ten,
but I knew something about her was awesome.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
This is interesting.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I don't know what I'm gonna do with her, but
I feel things. She's very pretty Luckily I had my dad,
my comrade in arms, my brother in arms. That's how
dire straits reference who went to my mom and lobbied
with her, you know, Shaka, Yeah, it's just that one video,
you know, for the most part, right, he loves MTV

(39:42):
and I watch it with him, you know, so I'll
make sure everything's going okay.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
So my dad did.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
He watched MTV with me, and I was back on
the hook. I could watch MTV again, and my dad
and I watched as much of the twenty four hour
marathon of the.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Monkeys as we could, and that was fun.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
He's just some of the formative me memories I have
with my dad, bonding over music, and I still talk
about it with them to this day. Now, it says
in this Newsweek article music videos began in the nineteen sixties,
and I've been a cornerstone of the pop culture lexicon
for decades. However, they've been declining in viewership and cultural
impact for years now. But is MTV a victim of

(40:21):
its own doing. And I cite this because it all
came crashing down for me. I was a freshman at
Michigan State and I'm watching MTV for the videos, and
then they launched into this show that I had no
interest in and was very annoyed by, called The Real World.
You might remember this. This was really the launch of
reality television and all the shows that would derive from it. Now,

(40:47):
there was one aspect that I did enjoy, and it
actually kind of incorporated music videos into its content, and
that was Mike Judges Beavis and butt Head, which was
a staple of the nineteen nineties. And I would stay
up late in college and we would watch Beavis and
butt Head at like two am after we were done
at the bars that night. Was fun and they were

(41:08):
great characters, and the animation was introduced. But the road
to perdition had begun for MTV and for all those
that loved it. Here again this article what to know
why it matters. Please keep reading, don't click on another page.
MTV will shutter the following channels in the UK, MTV Music,
MTV Eighties, MTV Nineties, Club, MTV and MTV Live The

(41:31):
network will keep its flagship channel, MTVHD, however, and it's
a big however. This channel is focused on airing reality
TV shows rather than music videos. It's home to beloved
franchises like teen Mom is like bang my hat on
the microphone. No, not teen Mom less, teen Mom more.

Speaker 6 (41:56):
Van Halen and somebody who lived that teen Dad. Let's
not can we please not glorify, don't.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Encourage those things, please Donny booboo and all that crap.

Speaker 6 (42:08):
It was freakishly difficult to be a single teen father.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Okay, I can only imagine, let's not gregon just for
your sake. Yeah, do you know I hesitate to ask
Jeordie Shore? Is that poll Shore's daughter or something? Who's
Jeordie Shore? I'm kind of glad.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I don't know. I feel good about that.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
The main channel scrapped music videos back in twenty eleven.
It's been that long fourteen years and instead push those
out to its sister channel. And those sister channels now
will no longer exist in the UK, and it's only
a matter of time before all that comes here. Rip
MTV as we once knew it again. It was on
life support if that, But if you have any MTV

(42:51):
memories that you'd like to share. We're here for that
because Ryan Schuling filling in. Ross Kaminsky got to take
this break. Stay tuned, Ted Cruz coming up a little
over a half hour from right now. Right here on
KOA Money for Nothing, there was the number one video
of nineteen eighty five. It inspired weird Al Yankovic to
come out with his Beverly Hillbillies song and video that

(43:13):
was in tribute to it, and he asked he always
had this pattern, weird Al. He still does to this day.
My sister just saw him perform in Michigan. He would
ask the artist's permission to parody a song, and most
artists loved it.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
They embraced Itt.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Michael Jackson loved weird Al an example of one who
didn't prints. And that's sad because you can only imagine
the number of weird Al parodies of print songs that
he might have that the food references he might get
out of.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Say raspberry beret, what could that have been? Could have
been it? I bet he's got a raspberry beret in
his pocket.

Speaker 6 (43:46):
Now I knew about the Coolio feud, but I didn't
know about the No No, No no, no, okay, I'm
glad you.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Brought that up. Coolio had to save face.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
And then the Lady Gaga thing later too.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Kulio was totally fine with it until his fans and
people come on, man, weird Al's let it, But he
was fine with it with Amish Paradise. Plus, that wasn't
his song to begin with, Pastime Paradise, not Gangster Paradise.
Pastime Paradise was written by Stevie Wonder you got me
down this musical rabbit Hole Dragon. Yeah, exactly, And we're

(44:15):
taking your text on this CHAA Common Spirit Health text
line fifty six six ninety. Let's go to five different
Texters said Sting, well done this text or this is great.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
I want to evoke these memories.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Stranger Things?

Speaker 2 (44:30):
The final season, season five is supposed to drop like
now sometime that for the end of the year.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
I thought I thought it was October.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Now they're sandbagging us, And I don't appreciate that because
I love that series and I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
But again, if you're gen Z and you're like, what
is this guy talking about? Eighties? You know whatever? Watch
Stranger Things.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
That's the closest you're gonna be able to get to
experiencing it firsthand, and you're welcome, This texter says. I
remember being in eighth grade and rushing home from school
just in time to see that first video on MTV
of the Buggles video Killed the Radio Star.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Then later that day, after my father came home from
work angry that his weather channel was now some foolish
teenage music channel. Yeah, and then the weather channel used
to be far more awesome. It would have some of
this pop music. Maybe they took a page from MTV.
I remember Crazy for You by Madonna playing as the
weather was forecasted on my screen. If you can't tell,

(45:24):
I was a big Madonna fan in the eighties, especially
like a Prayer, No idea why. I was a younger
guy and I was into the pop music, and I
was definitely into Madonna. Chacconi, Bay City, Michigan, Nat. I've
got to throw that in there. Final text here before
we go to break. MTV was my morning ritual, says
this texter, as I would eat my morning cereal before

(45:44):
I left a school. Music videos were a great way
to start your school day. I also remember the stupid
but funny reality shows like rom Raiders.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Don't remember that one? Next? Do remember that one? Hit
my Ride?

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Oh yeah Yo, Mama, smiley face emoji, MTV hashtag rip
on this day with the article that I read to
start this hour that it is shutting down it's music
channels the UK and no doubt that'll be happening here
soon if it hasn't already. A break, we're back bottom
of the hour, timeout for news here and stay tuned.
Senator Ted Cruz joins us exclusively here on KOA coming

(46:19):
up ten forty five, Ryan Schuling in for ros Kaminski
take on me the illustrations, the composition of that entire
video with the young lady very attractive, I might have
you got to throw that in there, and she's in
like a diner and she's reading like this comic book
and the comic book comes to life eight And this
was actually spotlighted, as I recall, in an episode of

(46:42):
Family Guy that was I think You're mimicked by Chris.
So that's one another kind of pop culture nod there.
We're talking about MTV and the fact that it's shutting
down it's music platform channels in the UK, and they
again just a matter of time before that happens.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Here, you would have to imagine.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
And I'll be speaking with another gen xer, Senator Ted Cruz,
coming up at about ten forty five, if not sooner,
and you best believe I'm going to be asking him
about MTV his favorite music video, because isn't that what
the people want to know? Has he ever been asked
that by any member of the media. I would venture
to guess no. So that's what you're going to hear

(47:21):
right here on KOA, Ryan Schuling filling in por Ross
Kaminski as we reminisce about the eighties and the MTV
that we remember that we once knew. Let's go to
Katherine on the text line here the KOA Common Spirit
Health text line at fifty six six ninety, Send me
your memories of MTV, she says. My daughter, now nineteen,

(47:42):
thought I was cool for a second, which he saw
I had the original Kate Bush album featuring Running Up
That Hill, which was used in Stranger Things. That's right,
it's the favorite song of Max, the young redheaded gal,
and that's a cliffhanger from the last season season four.
Coming into season five of Stranger Things, she's hospitalized, nearly killed,

(48:02):
but I think still alive but might be blind.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Yeah, that could be an interesting angle.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
I think there's even an interesting bit of trivia about
that Kate Bush song. It's the only song to get
number one in like like three four decades different.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Wow. Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure, and that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
There's I think there's an Elvis song or two that
that might have happened for I remember it wasn't that
long Bohemian Raps that he made a comeback in the
early nineties.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Wayne's World.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Yeah, so yeah, there are instances where that happens, and
Kate Bush running up that hill was one of them.
Catherine says, Yes, I'll take my cool where I can
get it, Katherine, you and me both because while we
might think it's hip to be square, Huey Lewis and
the news man, the kids today, oh those kids today,
get off my lawn. This texter says. The video I
remember vividly from MTV was Styx mister Rabato, Delmo Aragato,

(48:57):
mister Rabato. Now, you and Mandy made that trip to Japan, right,
and you probably said that a lot over there?

Speaker 6 (49:03):
Oh yeah, totally.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
Did they give you a look like and we hear
that all the time.

Speaker 6 (49:06):
They oddly enough, the Japanese people are very kind. They
were just they were happy to see us and for
us to spend our money there.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
That's number one. Ryan.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
There are a few versions of take on Me very true.
It actually came out a year earlier in a different
video and didn't go anywhere. The song was redone as
well as the video, and then it took off. The
original video is on YouTube. That is fascinating.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
See I love it. When I learned things from you
the listeners.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
In fifty six six ninety, this person says, my favorite
video was Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. Yeah, that was pretty cool.
The Claymation, Yeah, Claymation. The song's awesome, So let's start there.
Probably his greatest all time hit, although in your eyes
from Say Anything, that's a big one. John Cusack holding
up the boombox outside her window, you know.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
What I'm talking about. So when the young one's asking
what was it.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Like to grow up in the eighties, totally awesome is
the response. And it was, and I wouldn't trade it
for the world, wouldn't trade it for the world. Getting
to more of your texts here. Thanks for taking me
back to the eighties. I love when you fill in
for Ross and Mandy. Well, thank you, Texter. I enjoyed
doing that as well. More difficult to fill in for
Mandy these days, because that's like a couple of chess

(50:18):
moves on the board for Dave Tepper. Because my program
byan truling live cheap plug, Please download, subscribe and listen.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
Where else could I listen to Ryan?

Speaker 9 (50:26):
Now?

Speaker 3 (50:26):
You can listen?

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Thanks for asking Dragon weekdays two to four pm over
on six point thirty K how our sister station right
here at iHeart.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
For us, it's just across the hall, but for you,
it's just a couple of clicks on the radio dial.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I don't know which one shorter, but it's easy for
either party.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Here.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
I heard that Stranger Things on Broadway as excellent, says
this Texter.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
I wasn't aware of that either.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
I didn't even know it was a thing.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Completely more of an action play than a musical.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
I would imagine there's a if you haven't seen Stranger Things,
there's a significant like science fiction kind of thriller horror
aspect to it. Supernatural, that sort of thing so real,
big into d and d dungeons and dragons.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
Yes, what really gets me too.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
So it's a pair of twin brothers who conceived of
stranger things and they were about your age though dragons.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
So they were like born in the early to mid eighties.

Speaker 6 (51:18):
Quite ex not quite millennially.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Yeah, call them zillennial millennials or the Oregon Trail generation.
So if you're born in the early eighties, that's you.
I died of dysentery many times. I was fair to
Middland in the shooting when you had to, you know,
shoot for a game and feed your family.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
I remember that game quite well.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
The Van Halen video with the singing Burger, which one
was that I'm trying to recall singing Burger van Halen video?

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Now you got me thinking.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Another texter says, though I hated to see MTV move
away from music videos, they did give us some great shows,
the young ones.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Being the best.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
I'm glad you enjoyed that one video killed the radio
star Louiuz, says this texter.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Yes, it's a great song.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Rick Okasik's face super imposed on a bug is my
favorite video. Yes, the cars and is that from you
might think? You might think I'm crazy or tonight she comes.
I think it's the latter. I believe it's the latter.
Trying I'm really dialing up my memory banks here, So
appreciate all of you sending these texts in on your

(52:27):
memories of MTV as it's now being dispatched by the
UK version on its music platforms. This texture says loved
watching the Young Ones on MTV British show Very Good
Amish Paradise was a masterpiece, says this texter.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Well, you're exactly right. And that video with Florence Henderson
churning the butter, yeah.

Speaker 6 (52:50):
Right, you beat me too.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
I know, I know it was phenomenal and that was
a memorable one. So yeah, taking those memories from you,
I'm trying to remember this singing burger video from Van Halen.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
How about Hot for Teachers?

Speaker 10 (53:02):
Is this?

Speaker 5 (53:02):
How?

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Well? Yeah, uh huh. There's a story here. I'm not sure.
I'll just get into it, okay. So I used to
do radio and Lansing, Michigan, and there is comparable version
two maybe Shotgun Willies there called deja vu, and one
of my radio sales staff wanted.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
Me to be a judge that night, and.

Speaker 6 (53:22):
That's the oh, I'm getting paid too, Sure, yeah, I
got paid in booze, which they don't usually serve there.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Michigan's one of those states you can either have partial
nudity and alcohol or all of it and no alcohol
one or the other. But if you go across the
border to Sarnia or windsor don't ask me how I
know this, then they have it all.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
But the young woman who won that night they had to.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Do the like these skits, these sketches and dance to
a song and have it be like a production, and
it hot for Teacher by van Halen was the winning entry.
Is that clean enough for over the year radio? Okay,
that's good, all right. I don't want people to think
I'm a creeper out there. They asked me to do it,
and I obliged, being the good citizen that I was,
and cooperative, you know with my sales staff wanting to

(54:14):
help them make an extra dollar.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
You know, I'm right there with you. When I was
doing time on DPI or hard rock station downstairs. Yeah,
we there was some promotions at some of the clubs,
right sure, yeah. I happily went and happily helped out
as best I could.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
That's the right word for it. Thank you Texters. A
couple of you coming in really clutch here. Everybody wants
some that's the burger video burg by Van Halen. Yeah,
well everybody wants a certain that's a tasty burger. Herbie
Hancock video with all the animatronics is why I now
work in robotics. Well, I think that puts you on
the right career path text and I'm hoping that you're

(54:51):
earning some serious bank. I have to believe that you
are in that field. Much better choice than Dragon and
I made in getting into radio. Although we have a
lot of fun. He's got perks, the money.

Speaker 6 (55:01):
We've got our perks, the occasional strip club from a
decade ago.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
I'm wing those in either hand, and I think robotics
guy wins.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
But that's okay.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
We enjoy our lives true in our careers and we
have a lot of fun behind the scenes. Money for
nothing and chicks for free. Yeah, that video, As I
mentioned dire straits, there's a verse in that song that's
been edited out. First back then radio stations, it was controversial.
It's a word that we no longer use in our lexicon.
It's not fit for polite society. But it was making

(55:34):
fun from the perspective of a warehouse worker that might
be stocking refrigerators and color TVs. So you think about
Mark Knopfler, the songwriter, and what he's creating, this world
that he's creating, and they are mocking these blue collar guys,
you know, these kind of fu fu types that are
on the TV. And they got the earrings and the makeup. Yeah, buddy,

(55:55):
that's his own hair's. And there's a word that he uses,
it's and I think he's taking it out of it
shows too, Mark Knopfler, and I believe it was in
the original music video, and I remember that being quite controversial.
We're not going to take it twisted, sister. Great video. Yes, indeed,
better off dead. Everybody wants some That was from a

(56:15):
movie soundtrack. Then, I guess is what I'm gathering here.
Microsoft Windows has abandoned me with ninety five, ninety eight
XP and now ten. I'm not getting any more computers.
My smartphone updates itself. That's another one. And you know,
you know this happens, especially with you Apple people out there,
just when your batteries starts, you know, kind of fluctuating

(56:35):
and flaking, and it's running down quicker and quicker. Just
so happens to coincide with the new iPhone coming out,
and they make you buy that one too, and they
make you go into that Apple store. That's an absolute nightmare.
And that is why I am an Android guy right there.
I don't want anything Apple. I don't want the Apple world.

(56:57):
I don't want to be sucked in because I've seen
people get sucked into that vortex and they never come out.
They go into the Apple Store, I'm telling you, folks,
and they never come out. That's like Stranger thinks. Then
they got the iMac, they've got the pass, They've got
it all. Because now you're part of the Apple world
and you're one of those people.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
It just works together. It just sinks really well. Oh
it's like Graucho Mark said. I say this all the time.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
I would never belong to a club that would have
me as a member, and I don't want to be
a part of any club. It's like the scene from
Gross Point Blank. John Cusack Dan Ackroyd. They're having a
shoot off at dad's house. Their mini driver's dad's house
and he's trying Dan Akrodz's character is trying to get
John Cusack Martin Blank to join the Union of Assassins,
and Marty wants no part of that. And then he

(57:41):
asks in a really key moment in the film, they're
going to be meetings.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
Sure, no meetings, and they go back to the gunfight.
That's me.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
I don't want meetings. I don't want zoom meetings. I
definitely don't want zoom meetings. I don't want to be
congregated and have to be forced to go through some
kind of demonstration with the presentation and the PowerPoint stuff.
I don't want any of that. So maybe I am
in the right career field. We are waiting on Senator

(58:10):
Ted Curse, doing the best we can kill time. Well, no, no,
it's not just that.

Speaker 6 (58:14):
No.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
I enjoy interacting with our listeners via text at five
six six nine zero.

Speaker 6 (58:19):
As we would say on the Roskiminski Show, we're excellent
at wasting your time and you're welcome.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
That's the main purpose of talk radio.

Speaker 6 (58:28):
I'm a little surprised that nobody on the text line
at five six six nine zero brought up White Snake,
and here.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
I go again, another phenomenal I mean, come on is
that the Tawny Kataine video?

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Yuh uh oh hate Year?

Speaker 2 (58:43):
This might at some point we're gonna have a segue
to Senator Ted Cruz and maybe this is it. This
Texter says Kiss taking off the makeup and debuting the
Lick It Up video was huge for the Kiss Army,
although we soon realized that Gene Simmons had no idea
what to do with himself without the grease paint and
monster boots. Question for Ted Cruz as Halloween approaches us,
as he ever dressed up as a member of Kiss

(59:05):
for Halloween? I suspect that maybe he has. He went
to Harvard Law. He's kind of he's a fun guy.
He's got a good sense of humor, you know. So
I'm gonna be interested in asking that we need like
forty five minutes with Ted Cruz? Can can he afford
us that because we're a little bit delayed, we were
expecting him at forty five?

Speaker 3 (59:23):
There it is?

Speaker 2 (59:24):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna get this SoundBite ready so
that he can reply to it. I'm going to assume
that that is the call coming in on the batphone
there for Dragon and you're joined by Ryan Schuling, filling
in for ros Kaminski today on KOA, and as soon
as Dragon lines it up, he has this is the
clip that we want the good Senator to respond to

(59:45):
as he talks about the No Kings rallies coming up
throughout the country and including right here in Denver.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
There are more than two hundred left wing groups behind this,
these No Kings Rallies this weekend. They deliberately are blind
what each of the others are doing. That's part of
how they avoid accountability. RICO is designed for precisely that
sort of criminal enterprise. And so I believe the Senate
we ought to take up and vote on and pass

(01:00:13):
our stop Funders legislation. And I've urged both Pam Bondi
at DOJ and Cash Mattell at FBI follow the money
and prosecute those who are writing checks funding acts of violence,
political violence, or otherwise across the country.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
And Senator Ted Cruz joins your host Ryan Schuling here
on KOA.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Senator, thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:00:32):
For your time, Ryan, good to be with you.

Speaker 10 (01:00:35):
Thanks for having me now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
The timing of these No Kings rallies throughout the country
is humorous to me in the wake of what President
Trump just accomplished in the Middle East. Do you see
that irony as well? And what are the implying that
Donald Trump is a king?

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Well, unfortunately the last in today's Democrat party has devolved
into just really a party of anger and hate for
do I mean, that's the one unifying principle. It's the
reason we have a government shut down right now is
they're all trying to demonstrate to the radical left how
much they hate Donald J.

Speaker 10 (01:01:09):
Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
And these protests are are organized, and you know the
point you just played that clip from last night, But
the point that I was making, these protests are not organic.
They're not just springing up magically. There is real money
behind these and this has been a pattern that has extended.

Speaker 10 (01:01:27):
For a number of years.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
You go back to the Antifa and the Black Lives
Matter riots all across the country, where we saw American
cities burning, we saw police cars being firebomb we saw
people being murdered. You go back to the anti Semitic
riots on college campuses, You go back to the pro
open borders and pro illegal immigration riots in Los Angeles

(01:01:51):
and other cities. All of those were funded. I'm not
the only person who noticed on the anti Semitic college
campus protests, that the tents all match.

Speaker 10 (01:02:03):
That that that there's.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Clearly money, significant money that is flowing, and the same
is true for these these so called No Kings rallies,
That that that you have the George Soros networks and
you have others that that are funding this. And I
believe the way to stop this organized left wing violence

(01:02:24):
it is not just prosecute the individual to commit the violence,
but go after and prosecute the people writing the checks
and paying for for for what is in effect domestic terrorism.
If you're threatening violence and doing so for a political agenda,
that is unacceptable, and if you're paying people to do that,
that is a criminal act.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
One of those No King's Rallies coming here to Denver
this Saturday, and Senator Cruise implying that there might be
reco predicates in the form of the funding for those
so called rallies that I agree with the Senator. They
are far from organic and just spontaneous. Senator Ted Cruz
our guest reminder. You can catch his daily podcast on
the iHeartRadio app entitled Verdict with Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson

(01:03:08):
also a part of that, and we want to make
sure that you are aware that you can subscribe, download
and listen to that podcast. Senator Cruz a town hall
last night on CNN. Caitlin Collins was the moderator. Senator
Bernie Sanders and AOC A big part of that. Senator
Sanders didn't know what he was in for with this questionnaire, though,
how do you.

Speaker 12 (01:03:29):
Think this shutdown reflects on Chuck Schumer's leadership?

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
I think it reflects more on Mike Johnson's leadership and
President Trump's leadership. This is a leadership which said it's
okay to give a trip.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Well, how do you feel?

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
You tell me, I think it's a good idea to
give a trillion dollars and talks breaks to the richest
people in the country and then make massive cuts the
healthcare for working class people.

Speaker 12 (01:03:53):
I think Chuck Schumer has voted for continuing resolutions thirteen
times in the last four years, and he has the
opportunity to vote for one in the game, but he's
refusing to come to the table.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
I took look, oh, talk about your all time backfires.
Senator Schumer is trying to pin the shutdown on the
Republican Senator Cruz, but I don't know that that narrative
is playing in Peoria.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
No it is not, and it's not because it's false.
And the questioner who was questioning Bernie last night is
exactly right. This is the Schumer shutdown. We are right
now on day sixteen of the Schumer shutdown, and the
reason we have the shutdown is really twofold number one.
The Democrats have shut the government down because they want

(01:04:35):
to try to force free taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal aliens.
And in particular, in the one Big, Beautiful bill that
we pass this summer that President Trump signed on the
fourth of July, we explicitly put a prohibition on Medicaid
funds going to illegal immigrants. The Democrats are insisting they
will not reopen the government unless we repeal that prohibition

(01:04:58):
on funding illegal immigrants. And so that is not a
position the American people support. The American people don't want
to give free health care to illegals, but the extremes
and the Democrat Party do. But I'll tell you Ryan secondly,
and what this shutdown is about even more than that,
is Schumer is facing a political crisis, which is back

(01:05:20):
in March when we had the last expiration of government
funding the Democrats actually worked in a bipartisan manner with
Republicans and we kept the government open, and Schumer almost
lost his job. The radical left got furious with him,
and Chuck Schumer is looking over his left shoulder and
he sees aoc breathing down his neck, getting ready to

(01:05:41):
primary him. And the reason the government shut down today
is Schumer is trying to prove to the crazy radicals
that he hates Donald Trump as much as they do.
And so the question was exactly right. When Joe Biden
was president, thirteen different times, we passed a clean continuing
resolution that meant Republicans cooperated with Democrats to keep.

Speaker 10 (01:06:05):
The government open.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
Today, the House is passed a clean se are we
could do it the fourteenth time, but no, Chuck Schumer
has to prove to all the crazies in the No
King's rally that he just he's monivated, motivated by just
as much hate for Trump as they are. And it
really is a shame that you're seeing federal workers held

(01:06:29):
hostage and the US government held hostage for what is
an empty political stunt to appeal to the extreme left
of the Democrat Party.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
Senator Ted Cruz our guest I want to follow up
on what you just said, Senator with this other excerpt
from that town hall on CNN last night. I don't
think this played very well for AOC, and Senator Sanders
goes off on a tangent when they are asked if
the plan is to primary Chuck Schumer and if AOC
will be the one to do it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
But are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be
worried about a primary challenge from you?

Speaker 6 (01:07:02):
No, let me jump in on this.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
This is see is talking about exactly what we're talking about.
To have a country that is falling apart. We are
a house housing crisis, a healthcare crisis, and education crisis,
massive income and wealth inequality, a corrupt campaign finances.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
And the media says, well, you're gonna run.

Speaker 6 (01:07:22):
Nobody cares.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
There is the health speaker and President Trump and the
Vice President saying it part pardon.

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
Of course, they're saying it to deflect attention away from
the real issue exactly, and he will tell you what
the real issue is. And CEFCNN talks about it. We're
living in the richest country in the history of the world, right,
all right, you tell me why we're the only nation
not the guarantee healthcare old people. The only nation not
the guarantee paid family and medical lead. While we have
a seven dollars and twenty five cent an hour minimum wage.

(01:07:52):
Why we have eight hundred thousand people sleeping out on
the street, while we have a president who denies the
reality of climate change. Why we have all agaults on
top well, more and more power every day. Let's talk
about that issue, not her own political future to decide that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Senator Cruz, what does it say to you that they
reacted so violently to that question as to whether Chuck
Schumer's leadership is.

Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
To be challenged.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
Because they know the answer is yes, that for all
intents and purposes, AOC is acting as the Democrat minority
leader in the Senate, that she is leading Chuck Schumer
around like she has a ring through his nose, and
wherever she wants to go, he happily follows. I will
say I've predicted this before. I actually think Chuck Schumer

(01:08:40):
will be the inaugural member of the AOC for President
team and he's going to try to convince her. Alexandre,
You're really far too important to think about something as
lowly as Senate You belong in the Oval office. I
think that's Schumer's plan. He's going to try to convince
her of that. But listen, Bernie and AOC, the entire

(01:09:00):
Democrat Party, they are radical and they are extreme. I've
done three different town hall debates with Bernie Sanders on CNN,
and in fact, like he was asking, why don't.

Speaker 10 (01:09:10):
We have socialized healthcare?

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Well, the answer is because it doesn't work at every
place that it does implement it. You have scarcity, and
you have rationing, you have the federal government telling you
you can't get the healthcare you want. And I'll tell
you a response that I've given Bernie when he asked
that question is is you know, Ryan, there is zero
impediment to any state in the Union setting up socialized

(01:09:32):
healthcare another constitution.

Speaker 10 (01:09:33):
The states can do that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Bernie's home state of Vermont.

Speaker 10 (01:09:37):
Could set up socialized healthcare.

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
California, which has a Democrat governor and a super majority
Democrat legislature, could.

Speaker 10 (01:09:44):
Pass socialized health care.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
Today, your state of Colorado, you got a Democrat governor,
they could pass socialized healthcare. You should ask yourself why
do none of these Democrats put socialized health care in
their states?

Speaker 10 (01:09:57):
And the answer.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
California looked at it. They realize it would bankrupt us.
The taxes would be so high that you would have
all the employers flee. And it doesn't work. And so
what they want to do is they want to force
it on the whole country.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
So you can't flee.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
So you can't get away unless you're willing to leave America.
You can't escape. My answer to Bernie is implemented in Vermont.
And let's see if people flood to the socialist utopia
that you have up on the northern tip of the US.
And they haven't done it, and they're not going to
do it. Because when I asked Bernie in these town halls,
how come every place you put socialized healthcare you get

(01:10:35):
long waiting lines and you get people denied. No you
can't have hip surgery. No you can't have cataract surgery.
You've got an eighteen month waiting list to get the
surgery you need.

Speaker 10 (01:10:47):
Why does that happen?

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
And his answer, like like all good communists, he says, well,
it's never been implemented, right, but we would do it differently.
So every place on earth that's been implemented, it fails.
But he claims in theory somehow now that that if
he's in charge of your healthcare, he would magically handle it. Okay,
you know what, I'll stick with free enterprise. It works
a heck of a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
Better, Senator Ted Cruz, our guest.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
One final point, Senator Cruz, this interchange between you and
Tucker Carlson aged very well for you, not so well
for him. In the wake of the Trump peace accord
between Israel and Hamas.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Ron.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
They are Persians, predominantly Shia.

Speaker 6 (01:11:28):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
You don't know anything about Iran, So okay, I'm not
the the Tucker Carlson on Iran.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
You're a senator who's calling one remember, the one who
about the country.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
No, you don't know anything about the country. You're the
one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
I'm not saying that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Who can't figure out to say, General Solamony, you said.

Speaker 3 (01:11:50):
Believe they're trying to murder Trump?

Speaker 12 (01:11:51):
Yes, because you're not calling for military strikes against them.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
In retaliation if they carrying out military strikes today, you said.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Israel was right with our health Senator, that was in
advance of the strikes against the nuclear sites within Iran
that many are arguing, including myself, or paramount to this
deal getting done through a show of force.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
Your response unquestionably correct.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
The single most important national security decision that President Trump
has made in his second term was the decision to
launch the bombing stripes strikes on the nuclear facilities in Iran.
It was an incredible success. We had V two bombers
fly halfway around the world deliver bunker busting bombs to

(01:12:36):
take out three nuclear facilities, including the ford Ol facility
that's literally built in the bottom of a mountain to
develop nuclear weapons.

Speaker 10 (01:12:46):
And understand Iran was working to develop nuclear.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Weapons because I believe they intended to use them when
the Iatola chance death to America and death to Israel.
I believe him, and so President Trump is a strong
command in chief. That bombing strike was incredibly effective. And
you know you played that Tucker Carlson exchange. I got
to say, Tucker publicly said he tried very hard to

(01:13:10):
convince President Trump not to bomb the nuclear weapons facilities
in Iran, and Tucker predicted, he said, if we bomb
those facilities, the result will be World War three. He said,
thousands of Americans will die, and he said Iran will
beat US, Iran will win World War three and beat
the United States of America. Now, Ryan, those predictions were

(01:13:31):
laughably absurdly wrong. Instead, what happened is we utterly destroyed
their nuclear weapons facility and that demonstration of strength. Look,
Iran is the chief patron of Hamas and Hesbela. More
than ninety percent of the funds for Hamas and Hesbela
come from Iran.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
And when Iran.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
Lost that war, it broke the spirit and broke the
back of Hamas. And it's why we have the historic
peace accord Israel and in Gaza right now, because we
have a strong commander.

Speaker 10 (01:14:04):
In chief and Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
And so my simple message on that is is Donald
Trump was right and Tucker Carlson was wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Senator Ted Cruz our guest.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
Now he is a primary sponsor to keep AM radio
in cars. This is a pivotal moment for us here
at iHeart and of course you can catch his daily podcast,
The Verdict with Ted Cruz right on the iHeartRadio app
along with Ben Ferguson. But a final question, on a
lighter note, Senator, they are shutting down the MTV music
channels in the UK, and it's only a matter of
time before it happens here in the United States. Your

(01:14:35):
all time favorite music video on MTV is.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
Oh, I'd have to say Michael Jackson's Thriller. That I
was a teenager, then it's very funny. My press secretary
is looking at me completely confused. I think she wasn't
alive when Thriller came out. But you know when when
suddenly everyone started dancing as zombies, that that was a
fun time in teenage years.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Making news right here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
iHeart Denver Senator Ted Cruz joining us here today. Senator
is so grateful for your time. Thank you so much,
and continue the good work there on Capitol Hill.

Speaker 10 (01:15:10):
Take care, God bless all right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Well, take this time out. It's a little late for
the top of the hour news.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Rob Dawson standing by with that Ryan schuling in for
Ross Kominski on KOA celebrating what was music, television and
then eighties. Ryan shuling back with you writing out this
third and final hour of the Roskominski.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
Show on KOA.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Taking your text on the KOA Common Spirit Health text
line fifty six six ninety my thanks to Dragon. Rob
Dawson and Senator Ted Cruz for joining us in the
previous segment went a little long, didn't care, had to
get that in, wanted to get that in, and we
found out we broke news today because I don't know
that it's ever been reported anywhere that Ted Cruz is

(01:15:48):
all time favorite music video on MTV was and is
Thriller by Michael Jackson.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
You know, I laugh, Dan Campelson. I have this conversation
all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
I think Dan warped out of the seventies and eighties,
Like his knowledge or lack thereof of like arena rock
and the great seventies rock that existed.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
It boggles the mind.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
I had to tell him, like a song was Pink
Floyd for instance, and like what now this is a
guy in Dan Caplis. Well, you can hear weekdays four
to six pm over on six thirty k O right
after the Dan Caplis pregame show, which I affectionately call
my own program, Ryan Schuling Live two to four pm
over there on six thirty k how he was part
of like the party planning committee at CU Boulder. He

(01:16:34):
was the campus president at one time in the seventies
when he attended and he was in a room playing
pinball with guess who up?

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
That was a clue.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend, and he literally asked them.

Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
Wait for it, who are you? Who are you? Didn't know?
I mean you look anybody of any generation.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
I would hope if you saw Roger Daltrey, if you
saw Pete Townsend, you would at least know, Wait a minute,
I know those guys.

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
That's the who. Now maybe in the seventies. Hey, we're
big in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
I'm trying to make excuses for day and I stopped
myself mid sentence.

Speaker 6 (01:17:12):
That's pretty good. It's very similar to stories at Rick
Lewis and his wife were backstage to concert and uh,
you know, Robert Plant comes walking up and starts hitting
on Rick's wife. That's a compliment and she had no
idea who he was. He just got I'm Bob, Bob,
bommy Bob. Appreciate it, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
What do you do here? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:17:31):
Yeah, basically I helped the band.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
I met Robert Plant at the Rhythm Kitchen in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
and he couldn't have been nicer. He was there with
a roady Roady was a little agitated that we were there,
but the only four people in the restaurant patrons were
Robert Plant and Is Roady and me and my buddy
Brett Muller that worked at the radio station there in
Grand Rapids. Now this place no longer exists, but the
waitress came up to us and say, hey, be sure
to say hi to Robert Plant on your way out.

(01:17:54):
She was pretty young at the time. She's like forty
something now, but she was like twenty then. This is
late nineties. I'm like, oh, he probably thinks this guy
looks like Robert Plant. But it's to your point on
Rick Lewis. When you see Robert Plant his features, he's
like a lion, it's Robert Plant. So when I walk by,
I'm like, oh, that's Robert Plant. And I immediately turned
into Wayne Garth from Wayneesbor, like, well, I'm not worthy.

(01:18:17):
I'm not worthy.

Speaker 11 (01:18:19):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Literally, this was me, twenty three year old me. Mister Plant.
You probably hear this a lot, but I'm one of
your biggest fans. I went to your show last night.

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
True.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
I was at the Palace of Auburn Hills and he
was playing the next night at Van Andel Arena. Grand Rapids.
I don't want to bother you, but just want to
let you know, really appreciate your music. And would it
be okay if I got an autograph?

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
True? It was all about it. Signs his name you said,
mister Plant goes, what's your name? Loke? I'm like, uh,
I forgot for a minute. What is my name? Am I?
I don't know who I am anymore? Why am I here? Scanners? Ryan?
I think? Okay, Ryan, there you go. I'm like, thank you.
He couldn't have been nice.

Speaker 6 (01:19:00):
Great guy. Love those kind of celebrity encounters. One more,
if you've got time, since what are we doing? Christopher Titus,
comedian comes in, and he's a story. He loves Bruce
Springsteen and and he talks about in an encounter that
he had with Bruce Springsteen and he did the exact
same thing that you did. He couldn't remember how to

(01:19:22):
speak when he when he met him, so he's like
happy to him, right, and Bruce just.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
Goes right, Okay. I love Adam Sandler's impersonation of Bruce
Springsteen too.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
It's it's spot on. Uh yeah, So Ted Cruz Thriller,
This is where I was going to the conversation with
Dan campellis now he played pinball with the pinball wizard
writers Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend. And I think that experienced
men wasted on Dan to a certain extent. But then again,
he didn't act. He didn't act a fool the way

(01:19:58):
I did well, the way the guy here's you're describing dead.

Speaker 6 (01:20:01):
He didn't forget his own name.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
He forgot their names. He didn't know who they were,
the who for crying out loud.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
But he contends, And I want to get your thoughts
on this fifty six six ninety that Taylor Swift is
a modern phenomenon in music, is the biggest of all time, and.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
I go, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Check yourself there, pal, there's two of them that come
before her, and it's not even close. First of all,
obviously Elvis Presley, Elvis, he is bigger now how many
years after.

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
His death almost fifty then a lot of artists will
ever be when they're alive.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
Elvis is an icon of the twentieth century, on the
level of a celebrity that we've rarely seen and had
never seen until that point. For sure, influenced artists like
the Beatles, like the who everybody that came after the
origin story was.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
Elvis, So not gonna hear that argument.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Taylor Swift v Elvis, Come on, get serious, pal, And
the other one Michael Jackson. If you lived and grew
up in the eighties, Michael Jackson was it. He was it.

Speaker 6 (01:21:08):
Even prior to that, you had the Jackson Five, which
he was a part of.

Speaker 3 (01:21:11):
In the seventies.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
Right in the eighties, Michael want solo and Hello, go
back and listen to Thriller front to cover the whole album.
I'm not talking about just the song or watch just
the video. That is a musical masterpiece. Quincy Jones brought
that all together as the executive producer. The artists that
performed on the album include Eddie Van Halen on lead
guitar for Beat It, Paul McCartney singing a duet on

(01:21:36):
the Girl as Mine. I mean, the largest artists of
our time wanted to collaborate with Michael Jackson. Why because
he was a unique talent. Now, I know all the
stuff outside of the music realm, I get it, But
in terms of king of pop talent, voice, dance moves,
let's put Michael Jackson's dance moves up against whatever te
Swizzle does up there on stage. Okay, spare me me

(01:22:00):
with that. Michael Jackson in the eighties was international. The
whole music world revolved around him. Pop culture, the glove,
the diamond studded glove, right, the Pepsi commercials, the videos, thriller,
everything that went into that. Really an all timer there,
So good choice, I would say, by the good Senator

(01:22:21):
Ted Cruz joining us here on the program. Some texts
two in fifty six six ninety on the koa Common
Spirit health text line.

Speaker 3 (01:22:29):
I'm a company man.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
I have twenty year old phones that the batteries still work.
That is a great point because my dad was clutching
to his flip phone when we tried to get him
to turn it in for a smartphone, and I get it.
You know, you go back in time. I'm gonna go
back in time to the early two thousands. Just loved
his razor so much. It was before that. Oh wow,
it was a flippy phone.

Speaker 3 (01:22:52):
And he liked, oh he gonna push the butt. What
do you mean text? What does that mean? Never mind?

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
D But you had those, you had the next remember
those phones, the walkie tucky aspect of those were fun
in the early to mid two thousands. But you're right,
the batteries lasted forever. And I'm telling you there's a conspiracy.
I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but I am about this.
The batteries are designed to die within a certain timeframe.

(01:23:17):
So it's kissing times you get to buy the next
generation of iPhone. They do that on purpose, they do
that to you. Beatlemania, Yeah, of course, the Beatles. The
Beatles bigger than Tea Swizzle, Taylor Swift. Come on, Elvis,
the Beatles, Michael Jackson in that order, fifties, sixties and

(01:23:38):
then eighties. Taylor Swift is big now, okay, but recency bias.
Divorce yourself from that and really think about it in
a historical context. Thirty years from now, they'll still be
talking about Elvis Presley. Thirty years from now, they'll still
be referencing the Beatles. Thirty years from now, Michael Jackson
will still be iconic and the king of pop. Will

(01:23:59):
Taylor Swift be on that level in thirty years? In
thirty years, I offer no that she will not be.
She'll be big, not that big.

Speaker 6 (01:24:07):
She'll have her asterisk in the in the record books
because she was she did have all top ten in
the top ten rice for a week.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
Okay, so.

Speaker 6 (01:24:18):
There's only a couple other people have ever done. But
allow me to.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
Retort, Samuel Jackson pulp fictioning, what was her competition? What
was Michael Jackson competition in the eighties? Prince Madonna. I mean,
these are two big ones, right, all of the great
eighties music that there was, They're just I don't know,
I know, I'm old, Okay, I'm not gonna pretend otherwise.
Other than Taylor Swift? What are the big names in

(01:24:43):
music now? And I kind of I've been keeping track
here or there. Somebody breaks through it, Adell, Lady Gaga,
people of that caliber.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
Nobody's the equivalent Taylor Swift is unique in there. And
I'm not trying to I'm not trying to really disparage
her anyway. I'm just saying, in perspective, in context, let's
slow our role there. Let me see here, Ryan, earlier,
I texted about Microsoft Windows abandoning me. I got Android.

(01:25:13):
I hate Apple, and you're right that even with my phone,
I got to get a new one every few years.
I'm on my seventh phone since nineteen ninety eight. Actually
that's not too bad. I've bet a lot of people
out there listening right now. I've had a lot more
than seven phones in that timeframe, talking almost thirty years there.
Texter continues in getting a Google ten phone tomorrow. My
old phones still have working batteries, and I keep them charged.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
For the pictures.

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
There should be what the cloud right or whatever Apple's
EQUI quick move.

Speaker 6 (01:25:41):
It over to your computer and put it on an
SD card. You don't have to worry about the phone anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
See what you just said to go over the heads
of a lot of people that are older than us,
that's probably and mine.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
No, I know, I do know what a n SD card.
I have like a working knowledge.

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
So when you're gen X, you're not okay boomer you
got the boomers they're a lost cause I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:25:58):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
If you're a boomer listening out there, I'd get it made.
You've adapted. But as a gen xer, here's where I'm
going to admit something. So I'm not gen Z Like
was Zach one of our gen Z guys that works here.
He's quick, he's up to speed, he knows all the
stuff online and otherwise I.

Speaker 3 (01:26:10):
Can learn it, but it takes me a long time
and I'm really slow.

Speaker 6 (01:26:15):
For Zach, I'll get her to show him once and
he's got I'm a whiz.

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
Yeah, Yeah, more of your tax fifty six six ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
Reflecting on the conversation that was with Senator Ted Cruz,
Ryan Schuling filling in for Ross Kaminski, this is KOA.
I'm disappointed in this parent because you've not done a
proper job of parenting.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
When I was being I had like rock music one
oh one class with my dad.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
He saw Jimmy Hendricks perform live twice at Cobal Holland
Detroit with his buddy Rich, who was like an uncle
to me. Rich Smith introduced me to the likes of
like Talking Heads, Genesis, good stuff like modern music and
that sort of new wave punk rock alternative. At that time,

(01:26:59):
my dad wasn't that event. Rich was on the cutting
edge and he kind of brought my dad along into
that realm. They saw Cream play a couple of times,
Eric Clapton and the Gang there, so.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
My dad was plugged in.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
So I grew up with a cool dad, and actually
he grew up with a pretty cool mom. For the
World War two generation. She encouraged him that She did
two things that were amazing as a mother of that generation.
One she bought my dad a guitar and enjoyed hearing
him and Rich play electric guitar is on an amp
in the attic of the home that he grew up in.

(01:27:35):
This is a woman who came from, you know, big
band era of music, Sinatra being Crosby.

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
But I want to hear what you're playing there, butch wow.

Speaker 1 (01:27:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
She was really cool that way and enjoyed and encouraged
my dad's interest in the music at that time.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
Now, what she didn't know about was the LSD use,
which was prevalent.

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
My dad and Rich they're collaborating one day and it's
late sixties, and Rich brings to his attention because he's
plugged in, you know, and he was one of the
like original subscribers to Rolling Stone magazine, a big lefty
for years, and that was a big, you know, kind
of fun point of contention between them. My dad was
a Reagan Republican. He's not anymore, but he was. And

(01:28:17):
Rich brought up the idea, you know, they're having this
concert and upstate New York, and I think maybe we
want to do road trip and go to it, and
my Dad's like, yeah, let's do that. So they're talking
about it week or still goes by and then riche,
I don't think it's going.

Speaker 3 (01:28:32):
To be that big. It was Woodstock. My dad never
let him lift that down. He's like, I was willing
to go.

Speaker 6 (01:28:39):
That was a good idea.

Speaker 3 (01:28:40):
They had, like a.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
Goose Lake Music Festival Michigan. Bob Dylan was at that one.
He was not at Woodstock.

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
That was not as big.

Speaker 6 (01:28:47):
I'm sure half the people that say they were Woodstock
probably weren't. So he might be able to get away
with it and just say yeah, I was there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
I think had my dad and Rich gone to Woodstock,
they may never have come back. I think that was
in the realm of outcome. But growing up, you know,
hanging with those guys and listening to play music, and
Rich was really good on bass guitar, and my dad
was pretty good on like rhythm guitar.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
I could play a little bit of lead.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
But when MTV launched in the eighties, this is something
that my dad and I could share. And the other
part I want to mention, you know, give credit to
my grandma Shuoling as she rest in peace. She's been
passed for now forty years. I once met up with
an a Lansing lod Nuts game. It's minor league baseball
in Michigan, and they're affiliated. They've been affiliate with a

(01:29:32):
few different teams over the years, including the Toronto Blue Jays,
who are still alive in the Major League Baseball Playoffs
in the ALCS. But former Governor Jim Blanchard, Democrat Michigan,
was in the same suite. I was kind of dating
his niece at the tide. Didn't have a chance. But anyway,
I gotta be real here, I gotta be honest. I
don't want to lie to a listener. But we're in

(01:29:54):
this suite and he's had a few. He's tied a
few on Governor Blancherd former Governor Blanchard at that point,
if we get talking, he's about the same age as
my dad about baseball, and he's lamenting that his mom
threw out his baseball cards that he collected through the
fifties and sixties and he didn't have them anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:30:13):
And I let the governor know that my grandma one day.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Came upon my father's baseball cards in the attic and
Lansing and every other mother on the block. They're throwing
them out, giving them away whatever. This is my grandmother's response. Well,
you know, butch worked so hard to collect all of these,
it'd be ashamed to throw them out. And my dad
has those cards to this day.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
There we're the mint.

Speaker 2 (01:30:40):
We're talking nineteen fifty six, Mickey Mantle, stuff like that, Roberta. Clemente,
Willie Mays, Ted Williams, the good stuff. Thank you, Grandma.
She's now a family heirloom, those baseball cards.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
So she was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
Let's go back to some texts fifty six six ninety
your thoughts on MTV now sunsetting in the UK, and
it's just a matter of time here, I think, I mean,
I can't see them continue. Do they have the music
platforms anyway? Let's say you're a DirecTV subscriber, which I'm not,
so I cut the cord long ago. I'm just on
all the apps, you know, Paramount here, Hulu over there.

(01:31:17):
You got all the various platforms that have you know, Netflix.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
Amazon, Prime Prime Video.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
So does MTV two and all of those subchannels that
even exist in the United States anymore. Do you have
them if you do text me fifty six six ninety.
But they're ending them in the UK and they're only
going to keep the main channel that's only going to
be pretty much dedicated to reality TV programming, which is
not reality at all. Tommy Rock Opera had Tina Turner,

(01:31:45):
Peter Frampton, Elton John. That's a lineup. Yeah, another one here.
My kids are twenty six, thirty and thirty three. I'm
proud to say my wife and I indoctrinated them into
all the classics Springsteen, Beetles, Stones, Who, Floyd, they know
them and love them, Pat and Fort Collins.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
Pat well done, because that's what happened with me. I
was introduced to the great rock of the sixties.

Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
Jimmy hendricks experience, the Beatles, the Who, the Rolling Stones,
as you mentioned there, the seventies rock groups, and it
really set the foundation for us. And the cool part
was once we got to the nineties. My brother is
a very talented musician himself. He was really into the
grunge rock of Sound Garden in particular, but also you know,
Pearl jam Stone, Temple Pilots. My dad was kind of

(01:32:29):
he was like his mom was to my dad's music
at the time. He was open to it. He thought
some of it was good. He would subscribe to some
of it. He really loved and loves. My dad's still around,
thank god Dire straits. He and I saw Mark Knopf
for play at the Fox Theater in Detroit. That was something,
see something that my dad and I can share the music,

(01:32:50):
certainly sports and the outdoors, you know, fishing and hunting.
You know, I was as Pale, I was the Gilligan
to his skipper Ryan over the year and broadcast is
all jacked up, is it? I mean maybe the timing
of the breaks, and that was because of the Senator
Ted Cruz interview, which you know went in Rome type
thing mayor we had him we wanted to go with.
Is that what they're Probably I would be more concerned

(01:33:12):
that our online interface would have gotten screwed up with everything, and.

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
Maybe it did.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
And if it did, or if you missed the interview
that I had with Senator Ted Cruz, you can catch
it on the podcast version of this program. Also, Dragon
has sent me the recording and I will be re
airing that conversation on my show, which you can hear
weekdays six point thirty kl two to four pm Ryan
Shuling Live, So you have that to look forward to,

(01:33:37):
this Texter. My first concert was Pink Floyd nineteen seventy two,
playing echoes and songs of their next release called another name,
Dark Side of the Moon.

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
Oh were you.

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Sober for this concert? That's that's my question. And even
if you weren't, I'm sure you had a great time.
What was your first ever concert, Dragon?

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
It probably goes way way way back to the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles Musical or whatever it was. I actually
had a concert with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but
the first real type one probably would have been the
Summer Sanitarium tour with Metallica. Oh that's this one where
I bought bought my own tickets, is like I'm going
to this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
Yeah, okay, so officially that would be It was Vanilla Ice,
part of the Teenage Mutant Mutant Ninja's Turtle.

Speaker 6 (01:34:22):
I don't think him himself was, but I'm sure they
had a version of him like.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
Go Turtle, Go Turtle Go, You remember go Ninja. That's
see that's a little and I knew Ninja Turtles, and
I did. I was a little old for them though,
so it would been pretty nerdy if I had stuck
with it throughout.

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
But I remember it well. My first concert was Yes
the Group. Yes, I'd been andel Arena. I was pretty exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
I was pretty pumped about that cheap trick open for them,
as I recall, and they were good, but they refused
to play the Flame. They don't for some reason, and
maybe they do now, but back then they didn't like
that song. It was too kind of pop, I guess,
and it was a bit. It's their biggest hit, I believe,
their biggest commercial hit.

Speaker 10 (01:35:11):
Ever.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
They wouldn't play the Flame. That was annoying. Prince did
that too, he wouldn't play his like hits. He's like,
I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:35:17):
Play this nine minute exose on jazz or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
You know, you kind of want spinal tap with the
Puppet Show. Prince was notorious for that.

Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
I can understand why those bands do that now, because
they're all touring to promote the new records, so they like,
I'm going to play the new songs because they want
to sell the record.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
I think that's a David Spade bit in a stand up.

Speaker 6 (01:35:38):
Then he played hits it's like and.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
Now we're gonna play them one from the new album
all right, time to go to the concession stamp for
the bad I want to hear that. We don't want
the new album, we want the old album.

Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
We want to hear the hits.

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
Take one final time out, going down this primrose path
of your favorite MTV moments from over the years, specifically
the eighties, but it could be sooner more recent than that.
A lot of people referencing Queen. I'll get to some
of those texts at five six six nine zero and
the KOA Common Spirit health text line. We'll wrap it
all up on the Roskominski Show after these words, Ryan
schuling in on KOA. Now, when I saw them, that

(01:36:12):
would have been late eighties or late nineties, late nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
They just weren't in love with that song at that time.

Speaker 2 (01:36:18):
However, this texter says, I saw a cheap trick at
the Colorado State Fair and they did play the Flame.
It was great forty days ago. Well, I think they've
come full circle on it. A lot of times, these bands,
they have a song, it gets big, it gets you know.
They like, we don't want to be known just for
that song.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
I get it. Then years later, you know what, it
was nice to have that hit.

Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
I'd rather be a one hit wonder than a no
hit wonder, and cheap tricks certainly had their share of
hits plural. That was the biggest. And I'm glad that
you heard it, Texter. And that's fifty six six ninety.
I gotta, I gotta clear something up. You know, you
miss a portion of what I say. I got to
know that only Dragon listens to every word I say,
and even that he tunes a lot of it out.

Speaker 6 (01:36:55):
Would you say exactly?

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
But Ralph and black Forest, who I've had some tangles
with in the past. Ralph, I'm a big fan. But wow, Ryan,
your son is thirty five? He gads, you're my age
and all my grandkids are teenagers. Now arthritis kill you
in the winter? Is the radio station warm with all
the electronics?

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
Okay? Pause?

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
I don't have children of my own that I know about.
It's a really sad detail of my life. I would
have liked to have been a dad, and maybe I
still will be, but it's getting creepier by the hour.
I am fifty one. I think i'd be a real
fun dad. I'm like al Pacino, who's got a brand
new Kian. Oh and Jack Lemon I think at one point,
and Tony Randall maybe another one.

Speaker 3 (01:37:36):
Do I want to do that? Man, I don't know.
I watched Dragon. He's miserable. Nah'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
He loves the kids. I'm just joking about that one.
I'm a great I'm not a great uncle now. I
got to clarify for Ralph Blackborns. I mean I'm the
funkle all right, I'm uncle Ry good times. It's kind
of like Uncle Buck John Candy and we don't have
time now, but I haven't seen I like me.

Speaker 3 (01:37:56):
That's the nude good. It's good. Did you watch it?
Oh man, I'm gonna cry.

Speaker 6 (01:38:00):
Yes, you are.

Speaker 3 (01:38:00):
Everybody's good. We all love John Candy.

Speaker 2 (01:38:04):
I mean he was like on that level with Dolly Parton,
where if anybody ever said a negative word about Dolly Parton,
we would have words.

Speaker 3 (01:38:10):
My friend.

Speaker 6 (01:38:11):
I love how Bill Murray sets it up in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
Yeah, I've never heard one negative word or feeling uttered
about John Candy, and I think that's the greatest tribute
to his legacy right there.

Speaker 3 (01:38:23):
He was a big star.

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
He was funny, but he was kind, he was generous
and everybody who ever worked with him loved him, and
there's no greater tribute than that. So make sure you
check that out. It's on Prime right, Rime video correct. Yeah, yeah,
I like me the John Candy documentary.

Speaker 3 (01:38:41):
Looking forward to that. But no, so I'm an uncle
of two nieces, Ralph.

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
I don't have children, I am not thrice divorced, and
I don't live in a van down by the river.
But I'm working on it, okay, you know, I'm my
own guy. I'm like kind of like Bill Bixby is
David Banner in The Incredible Hulk, where he just ends
up at the end of it every episode walking alone
to sad music down the road.

Speaker 3 (01:39:03):
That's me. That's okay, though, I have a great time
here with all of you anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):
Ralph says, my first concert was Sticks in nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
There's a Dan Capel's connection too.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
There By the way, MTV used to be great, but
it degenerated with the rap crap badly.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Sexy was one thing, downright vulgar. Nope, I get it,
I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
But there was a time and there was a place
where MTV where every kid went to watch the new
music when Itever dropped the videos and everything else.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
And that's how I choose to remember.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
My MTV, and I want my MTV right now before
I turn things over to Jimmy Sangeberger, who's apparently filling
in for Andy Connell. He's too young, he doesn't remember.
This is the gen X millennial divide that we experienced.
But he's next Ryan Schuling, filling in for Rosskominsky. I'll
be back with you tomorrow, right here on KOA
