Speaker 1 (00:00):
You ever find yourself either watching television, maybe watching the
news or listening to the news on the radio, whatever,
and screaming in your brain you're not getting it, You're
missing the point. I felt that with the two stories
that yesterday this came out, and I just heard Allison
reporting on it with the Franklin County Children's Services and
Bookye Ranch severing ties in this program, and everybody's you know,
(00:21):
harping on the fact sixty six employees will be let go.
How about the kids. I'm just here. I mean, not
that that's a priority or anything, but I'm nobody's talking about,
you know, how many kids are being served by whatever
it was they were teamed up on, and how many
kids are going to be left now without those services,
and what their alternatives to those services might be. It's
(00:43):
all about the sixty six employees. Just I just find
that really, really odd. And of course people have been
Joseph just running their mouths all day about the Alec
Baldwin rac Are you talking about that? Are you blogging
about it? Zach? And are you putting that though you
probably got that all kinds of social idiodolia, the Alec
Baldwin wreck and what is a range Rover or land Rover,
(01:05):
a big expensive car. Alec Baldwin wreck, he should just
change his name to mister Drama. He there's Alec Baldwin,
nothing but drama, crazy messages on his daughter's voicemail, yelling
at people in front of his apartment building, arguing with
limousine drivers. Uh, shooting people on your movie sets. And
(01:27):
now now it was huge, it was a big it's huge,
just garbage truck I've ever seen, I mean, come on, man,
and uh and and oddly Stephen Baldwin was with him,
and I have asked on several occasions on the air
Mark and I have talked about it. Stephen Baldwin, the
Conservative Baldwin has been relatively invisible for a decade. You
(01:50):
never never hear about him, never see So he's in
the car with Alec Baldwin as they you know, swerve
to avoid the biggest, biggest garbage truck ever had to
avoid that. And uh and but there's nobody talked to Steven.
Everything I've seen, everything I've seen is about Alec Baldwin
(02:14):
and the fact that it was his wife's vehicle really
seriously and uh and he wishes her well even though
she was just eliminated on Dancing with the Stars. They
even managed to get that into the coverage. But nobody's
talking about Steven. There is a thing at the end
of this what is this associated press I'm reading here
(02:34):
at the end of this that says Stephen Baldwin's publicist
says he's fine and uh and recovering with no problems.
That's it. That's all he gets. Alec, mister drama gets
everything else. I just know I'm not an Alec Baldwin fan.
I was it Hunt for Red October. I think I
liked him in Yeah, he was good in that.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
He was also great when he hosted that one radio show.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Do we have any calls it? What's the number?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's right here, is it? So? Do we have any
callers yet? An anybody calling anyone at all? Anybody? Anybody? Yes,
that was the most pathetic thing in the world. But
see that that was beautiful because what he was doing
there was trying to show that, you know, he's a
big shot Hollywood actor. Anybody can do talk radio. So
(03:23):
they gave him a shot on w A b C.
I believe it was up in New York City and
that that literally is do we have any callers yet?
Any anyone calling?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
He would just say like two or three things, then
go j I don't know what the producer's name was,
but he'd go, great, do we have anybody anybody?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Call anybody? Anybody at all? What's what's the number? Oh,
it's right here, here's.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The number, bagging for somebody to call.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
And that is you know, that's something that I find
uh poetic cosmic justice, if you will, because the people
who who love to stand on the sidelines and play
armchair quarterback in all phases of life are not limited
to non radio things. There are plenty of people out
there go he's oh he does just talk already. That's ah,
that's nothing big about talking on the radio. Yeah, you
(04:06):
put your butt in front of a microphone, have a
few hundred thousand people hanging on your every word, and
see how brave you are.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Right, even when you do something like open phones. It's
the only thing I can relate to. Yeah, like, you
have people call because that's part of the show. But
you could hang up on somebody and then you look
and you go, okay, I don't have time for another call.
There's two and a half minutes here, or there's two
minutes here, I have to fill this time and it
has to make sense and you have to like go
off it. Sometimes you're like, oh, oh, oh, okay, this
(04:33):
is what this is all about the first time I
did it or two. So it's not nearly as easy
as people make it out to be.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The constraints of time when you have to watch that
second hand on the clock and you have to get
it right there, right at the right moment, which means
you have to pace yourself, you have to pace callers
or which you have very little control.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Not the easiest thing in the world. They tried Air America,
you know, again, an anti limball move. We can do this,
We're going to do We're and they you know, they's
There were some less wing people out there. I used
to like Tom Likeas quite a bit. I don't know
if he's still working or not. Tomkas was He was
a lefty, but he did pretty good radio. Yeah, I
like that. I enjoyed this Arterns on the left.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He does. He's a good radio person. I think Air
America had a bad problem with getting trying to get
names and not radio people.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well. Air America had a problem with doing the same
thing Alec Baldwin did, which the thing big important Hollywood
people can do this. You're if you if this idiot
that just got out of high school in Kate Gerardo, Missouri,
if he can do it, we can do it. And
so you know Al Franken and Ginine Garoffalo, and they couldn't.
They couldn't. They couldn't draw an audience, they couldn't hold affiliates,
they couldn't sell commercial time. They couldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I listened to it when it came on. I just
sounded more curate, like how's this going to work? You
got this person, and I was like, the first thing
I thought of was like these none of these people
are like radio radio people. You gotta be a rush
was a radio person first yes, and then politics and
then whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And he had a personality that drew you. That's something
else they didn't They thought just coming on the air
and being snarky was enough. No, people have to either
respect you, love you, or hate you to listen to
you all the time. Those are your options. And then
trust me, there are people out there who listened. Howard
(06:15):
Stern was a beautiful example of that. They listened to
him every day because they hated him and they wanted
to write letters to the FCC and complain, which is
why he made the jump to satellite, because he had
the you know, the freedom to do and say whatever
he wanted. But there were people who you know, absolutely
loved him who would never go away. Same thing with Limball.
(06:35):
People hated him, people loved him, and those are the
ones who always always listened when you've got people that
nobody cares about. Nobody cared about Al Franken and Garoffolo
quite frankly was way too smart to have played second
fiddle to Franken as far as I'm concerned, and there
(06:59):
was just it was a bad matchup. She really should
have had her own thing, Yes she maybe maybe she
should have been hosting mornings herself and they would have
stood a better chance. But they just never got any
traction because they had they had no appeal, and without
that appeal, you you lose people. That's what it comes
down to. So anyway, mister drama, he's fine. TMZ checked
(07:22):
and they know everything. He's fine. He's fine, and Steven
apparently is fine too. He was in the car although
no one talked to him. They stole get this Zach.
They stole my ass tray. Now I've told you before,
I don't keep the beater locked. The beater with the
heater that I drive, I don't lock it. And because
(07:46):
I don't keep anything in there, I don't need anybody
breaking out anymore windows. I don't need that crap. So
it's never so people get in there. And usually I
can tell because I'll get in the car and the
glove compartments hanging open because they're looking for guns, that's
what you know, That's why they get in. But the
glove compartment was no. But so I'm driving, I'm driving,
and and and I reached down because I smoke like
(08:08):
a freight train when I'm driving. I cannot drive without
a cigarette. It's just it's my thing. I go to to, uh,
you know, flick the and the ash tree's going. It
wasn't Sterling silver or it was a dollar tree ass
you know, the ones you take the top off of
and dump out and put the That's all it was
from the blasted dollar tree. I've had it for years.
(08:32):
It's mangled and burnt and dusty and charred and nasty
and bare. I took it and they stole my ashtray.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm not laughing at you. It's the absurdity of stealing.
What possibly could you do with them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
They're gonna go to the corner store. Hey man, you're
gonna buy ass three. I get it asstray, but I'll
give you a dollar, Give me a dollar ass tray.
That's what they do. They steal stuff and then go
down to the gas station, parking lot or whatever and
they try to sell it. But you know, it's the
drug zombies. It's the there's there's roving bands of idiots
out there and they go through the streets in the
(09:08):
middle of and they just check car doors all the
time and if they find won't open, they get in
there and pillage and so. But but my ass my
dollar ashtray really really, I.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Do Like there's no possible scenario that somebody drove by
and went, you know, my ash tray doesn't work. Maybe
this guy's does, I'm gonna steal it.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Probably some rich guy that didn't want to be seen
going to the dollar tree to buy his own love
love hop out at the back of the road and
see that's an ashtray now, And yeah, I just I
don't know, and it's not like the drug zombies are
going to use an ashtray. They just flick their cigarettes anywhere.
So I have no idea why they would take my
ass tray, but that that was just that was a
(09:49):
foul thing to do. That's like stealing a man's underwear.
You just don't take some things. And and my ash
trays one of them.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The ash tray. Never heard of ashtray theft before.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh it's big, it's big. Yeah, it's a big racket
out there. It's going right now. There's a black market
for used as Traska
