and with just the fellas today we'll be doing this
until around eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Here's the producer of The Angel of the Angel, erro Cool,
and I came out there in my Ryan home.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Who looks more He looks more fresh faced than awake today.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
He was on time. You know, I think your wife
is the one who's bringing you down, man.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Like.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Look, it's funny say that because my wife, I didn't
know this changed her flight got home at midnight last night.
Did she really and woke up every dog in the
house barking crazy, and then I can go back to sleep.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So I'm glad. I'm glad you think that. Oh you
look it. You look you know, bright eyed and bushy tail,
and you got here on time. He looks haggard, you think,
so call me my baby. Uh No, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I up my I don't normally get the energy drinks
with the sugar and the Starbucks and everything. This lady
came home yesterday middle of the night, and I guess
she texted me. I don't know, but she had to
change her flight from coming from Arizona. She's like, it's
one hundred and eight degrees here. I'm leaving really dry heat,
That's what she said. She's like, it's like it's like
(05:31):
walking around in an oven out there. You know, people
live there, and you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I heard that before I went.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
I went there out there to visit Brett Bushy one
time out there in Arizona, and I've always heard that
dry heat thing.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
I always can't be that much different it is. It
is exactly like she said, it's like you're walking in
an oven. Uh yeah, like tires start melting and things like.
It's that's crazy here, but it's different.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
For some reason, I dug it the times I went
to Lake Habsu a haldful of times, have some friends
that lived in Phoenix, and it was I don't know,
it just seemed like, uh, I dealt with it better
because the lack of moisture in like no humidity basically yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well you have to like yeah, you have to like
loop up your skin and your body, yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
And hydrate like you you do have to drink because
without realizing, you'll become dehydrated.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
I've been out there for Vegas, and the heat there
is different. It's not oppressive like how it is in Florida.
It's just like you're just living in this oven and
you just kind of get as long as you prepare
correctly over good where it's Florida, that humidity gets you too,
and you're like.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
And I remember when I when I flew to Arizona
and then I got back and as soon as I
got off the plane, it's like, oh, this is humid.
This is what humidity is. Like I had to be
I actually had to have that believe and kind of
feeling like, oh I get okay, humidity it's like there's air.
I mean, there's water in the air. There's yeah, yeah,
and that's basically what it is. But I mean, you
could tell such a big difference from what they have
(06:51):
to deal with.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
You don't realize a swamp that we live in until
you go to another plane. But probably because I grew
up in this, right, I like this bad. Yeah, I
like this better than that that that was like, oh god,
and you almost don't even sweat in that kind of heat.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I don't know. I remember just being like, yeah, it
was bad. But so she decided to come back early.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Yeah, so she did all her business y stuff and
like yeah, just middle of the night, when all your
dogs start barking, you hear a noise and the door
opens and this surprise or she called again. She texted
me at some point and let me know this.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You didn't read it.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Well, here's my thing, man, Okay, yesterday was kind of
a nightmare. So Duke Energy has been out there replacing
the power poles in my neighborhood and they cut off
my internet, but they only cut off the internet to
my house and another house. So I called Spectrum and
I'm like, hey, I'm out of Internet, and of course
they're like, Bruce, dork your motive.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm like, dude, I restarted my motive. That's fine. They're like, oh, well,
it turns out it's you and one other house and
said did they sever the line on accident or was
it looks like it?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
And they're like, oh, well, because it's only two of you,
we're not going to send any out there till Thursday.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh you guys suck.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
So I had no internet yesterday. It was raining and
I just had like wet dogs and like when.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh and in these da times, if you have no internet,
you've got no television. I have no telligence.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I had to watch Basic ass Channel six middle of
the day watching Maury Guys, Like, do you know Maury's
still doing the same stick I thought Maury died.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Well, it's on TV. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
It's the same loud people yelling about who's the father
and taking the DNA test.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And I'm like, hold on, Maury Povich, Why did I
think he wasn't with us anymore? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
He's definitely on television, I'll be damn yeah. And I'm
just like because I mean, that stick has been running
my entire life. And people are still watching this, I
don't think, so no one talks about it anymore. I mean,
I mean, I mean, I guess it gets some ratings
because if it's still out there. But I got I
got so bored yesterday because I couldn't watch anything. So
I'm like, okay, come it on your phone.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Can you watch stuff on tvds?
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I can watch stuff on my phone even if I
lose internet, you know, I just pick up my phone
and I can watch.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Netfl a phone gen z er. I'm like, the too
tiny of screen. My neck hurts after a while doing that.
I like my big ass TV. I like to watch
things like that. So that I go out yesterday I'm like, okay,
I'm bored. I got to leave the house. Nothing to
do here, and so I look up online. I found
a bar that would like was like playing poker, and
(09:24):
I'm like, oh, I'll go play poker. You wouldn't play
poker last night, No, because the old people at the
bar wouldn't let me play.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Why.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
They were like kind of weird about it. I went to, uh,
I probably thought you were a shark, like a card shark, dude.
I mean, the average agent there was seventy to dead.
You know, So like I did you go to like
a moose lodge or something I went to. I don't
want to call them out because I've been there at
night and I've actually enjoyed it. But this, this is like,
you know, seven in the afternoon and I think, like
a guy like almost died because the Castlebury police were
(09:56):
there with the ambulance.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So I was like, okay. And so I just sat
at a bar like old, old, old person's bar, just
having a beer by myself, and it was and I'm
just like, I'm like this can't I can't lose my wife.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I can't have this be my life because I will
like I've reverted. I used to like like go out
have fun all the time. Now it's like I like
being at home. I like Netflix.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I like my wife.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
With the rain out and everything, wouldn't you have been
more comfortable just to get your phone, get in bed
and just kind of watch some TV on the phone.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You don't have an iPad or tablet?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yeah, no, she took the iPad with her, So no,
you can sit there with your phone the tiny rectangle,
lean back and watch your phone.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Done yeah, no, no, I cannot. And that's the other problem.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I have to sleep with the TV on, but the
bedroom TV has no antenna, has no nothing. So like
if if there's no Internet, it's a it's a big paperweight.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You don't have any DVDs or anything like that.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I don't have a DVD player anymore. The DVD player
is the Xbox, which is in the living room. And
I'm fortually bought a couch that's about half an inch
too short for me to lay on.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You're totally you're ruining. You're totally ruining.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
The point I was gonna make because now you've you've
you've kind of manifested it, right. I was gonna say, hey, Ryan,
here's a good something that you're gonna learn from this.
You know something you're gonna learn from it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I learned I can't be alone. Rush.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Look at look how you worried and worried about your
wife being out of town. And look, everything was fine.
You didn't have a problem. But of course you you
manufactured a problem, and you you found some way to
be miserable.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Congratulations, you did a good job. It's even worse than that. Actually, Okay,
then I kind of undersold it.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
When it comes to the Internet, I'm not actually on
the account.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
So I have to get my I have to call
my wife who's in Arizona, and she's in the middle
of doing business, and I'm like, honey, you turn the internet.
And so she she hasked to do it. She's like, well,
added you to the count, but then they wouldn't let
me log in, and I'm like, I'm just accepting it.
At this point, I need my wife. Without her, I'm
(12:02):
not as good I thought I would go back to
cool riots. And there's a lot of guys that feel
that way. There are a lot of guys that feel
exactly like you do, and then their wife leaves them. Well,
I'm going to start doing better. Guys, Oh yeah, I can't.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Can't lose her because you can control you, right, but
you can't control someone else. And let's say you say
something or do something that you just can't take back,
and then they and they are leave and you are
that much in love and that much dependent on her,
and she's like, you know, sorry, you know what you
did this, and I'm out, Oh my god, can you imagine?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
No, Like, honestly, if there's something I don't think. I
don't think you should leave me. But I always think
about what it would happen if she got hit by
a bus.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Okay, all right, let's say plane crash. Yeah, I I
don't know. You don't know if the passwords to the accounts.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Well, the sudden depth is is that's you can't control that. No,
there are people that are as in love as you are, right,
and its depends as you are and then and then
the person comes from one day and out of the blue,
have no idea. Listen, I'm just I haven't told you.
I'm just really not happy and I'm leaving. Can you imagine? No,
I mean it could happen. It happens every day. No,
(13:11):
it happens every day.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
People who think they've been completely blind sided, like, well,
I didn't even see.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
This coming, because listen, I've been blindsided before. Listen telling
you where you're complicated? No, but I'm not that complicating.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
You you you don't see it because you're so much
in love, right, you don't see any of the signs.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And people on the outside, oh, we saw the signs. Well,
you're not in you know, you're not in my spot
they're not in your spot. We see signs. We all
see something like, oh.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
You shouldn't do this, Ryan, You're gonna upset Christina, and
you don't listen to our signs because you're so in
love and you think she would never leave. Imagine if
she comes to you one day and says, you know
what I've been. I've been acting like you know, like,
but I'm just I can't take it. I'm sorry, you know,
I gotta go no in my relationship. I am ace
of base. I saw the sign. Okay, I know what's
(13:57):
going on in it. I'm always checking in on relationship.
That's not something I'm worried about.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You're sure she went to a you don't do that.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
But the problem, the real problem is because she she
she takes because she's very financially responsible. She had great
credit when we met. She's very good at taking care
of the bills and stuff. I wouldn't I look like
I said, I'm not on my cable. I don't even
know how to access the power bill, the mortgage. I
(14:30):
don't even know who has it right now, because it's
that mortgage guy down I got it from. But I
didn't know this about houses when you buy a house,
the mortgage companies, they then sell mortgage. I'm on my
third mortgage company since I don't I don't even know
the name of the company, Guys, I don't even know
the name of the company to log in to find it.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
I got to tell you, I am giggling a lot
because a lot of listeners are saying the same thing
I was actually thinking, because you sound like you always
sound like one of one of the former monsters, like
you're a little bit of everybody I've ever met and
seen it had been on the show, and this is
exactly what Bubba whoop Ass Wilson sounded like with sweetness.
I need sweetness. I love sweetness. I don't know what
(15:09):
I do without sweetness. Sweetness does everything sweetness sweetness. We
heard it, we heard it, we heard it, and then
and then she did exactly what she came to Bubbins
and I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
And he had no idea and he was him, You're
talking about famous drug exactly like like Bubba wasn't checking
in on his relationship.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Bubba wasn't going to therapy. But there's a plenty of
things that Bubba wasn't doing.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
No he went to therapy. But but but he was
still he still was a mess, buddy. Yes, I'm not
a mess.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
I don't have a drug problem. I know very good
with my finances. I'm constantly checking in on my relationship
to see, like how we're doing. Uh, so I don't
so I don't get blindsided. I have actually a very healthy,
stable relationship. The problem is, though she holds all the cards,
I've got no cards.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And you're depending on her. Yeah, that's just the thing,
you know. I mean, I think she did it to
me secretly. I think she spent the last ten to
eleven years slowly amassing all of the power to where
like I didn't even know what was gone until like
this particular trip. You can't even go out to a
bar and have fun. Now, No, that says a lot. God,
(16:22):
I was gonna call friends over, but I was like,
I got no friends, herself my only friend. These might
be those red flags you're talking about. I'm just saying,
I mean, I'm just point them out.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
I mean, hey, it's not I don't think it's anything
she's secretly done by any means.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I just think that, like she's awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I love hanging out with her, so I hang out
with her the most, which is neglected a lot of
my other friendships.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Right and right. I don't mean half of this stuff.
I'm just I'm just I'm just trying to stir you up.
She's wonderful and she loves you. I'm just trying to
stir it up a little bit. I know it brings
me happiness to watch you over there, but she loves
you to death. You don't have to worry about You're fine.
There's no red flags.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Thank you to the person who said there's a text
that right now says Ryan didn't explain why he didn't
read his wife's text messages.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'll show you why. I have two one on read texts.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
He don't text us back either. Yeah, so I just don't.
I don't look at my phone all day long.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
I just don't think about it if it's not in
front of me, and a lot of time it's on
silent from the show, it's on my hip.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I got mine. You text me, I'll get right back.
You're good at that. Where are my pickles?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Yeah, well I'll tell you that story. Neg We were
waiting late for our break. But listen, big done. Fun
today it's just the boys friendly. Red Trainley can't make
it in. He's got some stuff going on. Amber's out
of town, she's not coming in. So it's just the
boys today doing boy business.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
We're need friendly, rach friendly today too. That's too bad.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
We're going to extend the six o'clock hour to the
seven o'clock hour where we don't think you're all listening,
and we're gonna talk about personal stuff. So that's that's today.
Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the mantras the morning
turn my next right here in the middle of the week,
which is awesome. How you guys doing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I am Russ Rollins.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Along with the Angel Rivera and Ryan Holmes hoping to
help you get to work and being a good mood today.
So I yues, maybe I told the story about how
you know, the night before was my wife's first like
her last day at work, like retiring as a paramedic
and doing like paramedic business, which is, you know, she's
been doing like for thirty three years, and a lot
more to it than I ever realized, you know, as
(18:27):
far as I mean, you know, just a couple of
weeks ago, she's trying to save a guy and he
dies right in her arms, like like, you know, you
deal with a lot of emotional stuff with that, not
to mention, you know, you got to carry that big
backpack full of stuff, you know. And when she worked,
it would be like from six o'clock in the morning
till like ten thirty at night. It's like it's a
brutal job. And her age I was like, listen, just stop,
just stop doing that.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You don't have to, you know.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
And so she finally decided to do it, and you
guys were joking, You're like, yeah, well, well, Angel said, hey,
this might be a good thing if she quits, So
maybe she'll start making us jams and jellies and stuff
like she used to. And uh, as soon as I
get ready to drive home, she's like, hey, let let
Ryan know. She just you know, she has a like
a garden, and she got like, I don't know, like
fifteen cucumbers, and she's like, just right, let right now,
(19:12):
I'm making pickles for him, to make him some pickles.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
So she started making pickles yesterday, nice, and I'm like, god,
she already started. You know, I love cucumbers too. Daisy
brought in a bunch of cucumbers she grew and I
actually ate it the other day, really good?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Was it good? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Yeah, So she started to and then I she got
a message from someone yesterday who teaches out at Valencia,
and they're like, hey, if you don't want to be
a paramac anymore, that's fine, but I mean we need teachers.
Would you want to be a teacher out at Valencia?
So she you know she's gonna retired. Yeah, well she
gonna relax for a little bit and then and then
maybe do that or maybe do something else. You know,
it's just I just didn't want her to do the
(19:47):
crazy job of working from six in the morning to
ten thirty at night, three four days in e ros,
then get sleep with literal people dying, to deal with
people dying. You know, still has aches and pains from
doing and all that for many year. So uh, anyway,
you know, things transition in life and you and things
you never thought you would do you'd end up doing.
You know, you never you never know what's gonna happen.
(20:08):
But uh, but but we did know that she would
start making you guys stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So so and I get home like this, thanks for retiring,
Marl and all the pickles. I'll take all of them.
I get home, and the whole, the whole damn kitchen
smells like pickle juice. Hell yeah, that sounds beautiful.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
She's already started, uh doingever whatever you gotta do to
make I guess you could boil them or something. And
there's something the whole process. There's a process that she
knows how to do, and she's she's doing all that.
So uh any, very nice.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, so she got pickles on the way for you.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So yesterday after the show, I had to wait, you know,
like an hour or so, and they had like a
big meeting here with a bunch of different clients, like
people sponsors that want to sponsors.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Oh yeah, the big rush meeting that Angel and Ryan
didn't get.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
To go to.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, so all right, I didn't do the inviting. It
was it was me. I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
This is for whoever is listening that knows that, like, hey,
hey gods, we're on the show too, and we like
lunch heard the show.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Yeah, don't get a twisted. Ryan is upsetting because we
couldn't wait long to get food. He didn't want to
be a part of the I didn't get any food.
I didn't eat.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
I don't like eat in front of people. It's weird
because I think people are judging me. So so I
didn't need any food. I'm the crazy.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, it's not crazy. It's always saw big We saw
big boy eating all the food. I just don't want to.
No one does that.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I like a man eating and going look at that
guy eating food, doing that thing that everybody does.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm gonna do it now though, I just I don't
want to. Oh my god, that man needs susting it
and calorie and take to stay alive. Worse than that.
Next I see rushing, damn rush.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
You eat a sandwich, big guy eating all the food,
big Dodd. They do, so I don't eat with everybody.
I went in there and it was crazy. It was
about this. You could have taken a plate and gone
off to the back room. I set in the closet
by myself.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I ate.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
I just I just eat afterwards, you know whatever. But
it was me, it was Johnny Magic, and it was
Jim Colbert. So it was us three that they had
and the conversation was interesting and I want to see
what our listeners think, all right, So they were talking
to these clients about how things are different now with
radio and then with podcasting. And there's a lot of
(22:18):
people that think, oh, you know, more people listen to
podcasts now that listen to radio, and when when you
look at the research, it's not actually accurate. There's a
lot of shows that really aren't that good that yes,
it's hurt them, but your krim will krim, You're like,
you're really really good shows, yeah, like the Monsters.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Like Johnny Magic and Johnny's House, and like the Jim
Colbert Show.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
It has increased what we do because you know, people
will go and catch the podcast to hear the entirety
of the show. A lot of listeners only get us,
you know, and they're writ into work, let's say, but
they want to hear the whole show. And now with podcasting,
people are going and catching the entire five hours of
what we do, believe it or not. So we have
actually increased our listenership since podcasting now.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Well, the other dynamic is now that because of the
hand your handheld or your phone and everything. You know,
we used to have that window that we were always
that sweet spot that we're trying to capture. Ears in
the cars and that's still like valuable, that's still really
really valuable. Yeah, but now with the advent of it,
you know, and we're you know, pushing the show as
quickly as possible because people keep one butt in their
ear and they're listening to the show at their pace.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yes, all day long.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
So do you think it is one of the questions
do you think listeners are are more dedicated to the
show now than they were back in the day. And
I for meeting a lot of folks when we did
the brew bus or whatever, I feel like they are.
I feel like they're more We could kind of tell
that during even during the during even during the our broadcast. Yeah,
we can tell that because it's a fun thing to
(23:47):
watch in the sense of the texting. And I don't
know if you get that a lot in the YouTube chat, Ryan,
because those they're they're dedicated from the moment it starts broadcasting.
But definitely in texting us, we'll catch people that are texting,
you know, two from you know, like well at eight o'clock,
will get a handful of text.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Of people about the topic we we're talking about six o'clock,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
And that happens all the time, and that's just the
time that that person started started the listening or watching,
you know.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, so I do feel that, you know, if the
shows are good.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Now there's a lot of shows and are so great
and people aren't listening to them because they're taking that
time to go back to listen to their favorite shows
that they hear on the radio. Right, So, so if
you're a really good show, it helps you. If you're not,
it is is stomping on some of those. But as
far as our listeners, it seems to me like it's
increased the how do you say it, the fanship or
(24:40):
is it's increased the connection that's probably the better way
to say it, the connection with the show, with podcasts
and and then I also think the YouTube channel being
able to actually see our faces and and and watch
the show is the.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Way time we do one of these things. I know,
we all three of us here at every single time.
How many people are you know, they're you know, I'm
thinking of a couple right now that they work from
home and the husband's up front and the wife works
in the back of the house and we're their morning show. Yes,
you know, they set it on and you know they'll
know you could. You know, they they've shared that with
me where they're laughing in two different rooms because they're working,
(25:14):
but they're sharing that moment and we're on for them,
you know. And you can text us right now. I'm
really curious what our listeners think. You can text us
at seven seven zero three one. How do you think
having a podcast has has affected the monsters? Or you're
listening to the monsters?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Right?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
And we have a lot of people that have been
listening for thirty years, right, I mean I think and
how many of our listeners have been listening for twenty
five thirty years have even gone to the podcast? I
think most of them have. Would you agree, Ryan? You
think most of them have gone and listened to on
the podcast. He thinks there are some people that still
are technically not you know, advanced, and they don't even
(25:50):
know how to find it.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
There's always going to be those people, for sure. I
think I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
I think I only deal with the YouTube people, right.
We're essentially because they don't have jobs. We're essentially like
they're coworkers, right like. I think that's how they view it. Sure,
they don't have jobs. I think none of them have jobs.
There's no way Sean Butterworth, I know. I know Rachel
(26:17):
bart Is, she's a mother, which is the most important job.
But like, let's be real, we're your co workers. You
got no job, so you see it. I know a
lot about these people that I shouldn't know just watching
this chat all day long. Uh So it's just about
because there's so many ways to interact with the show,
you get to roll up in your preferred way. So
I think I know my buddy Brett is listening right now.
(26:39):
He's on his way to work. He listens in the
six o'clock hour. It's always on the radio. He doesn't
check the podcast at all. He only gets that six
o'clock hour, just the radio. There's some people like the
burdener in our chat who's like moderates our chats.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
She's moderating the Colbert Show.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Chest she's in there all day long, but she I
know she's actually working, sitting there at a desk at
home all day long, and and no actual coworker. And
I don't mean that as a dig. It's just like
we're there for you guys, so for our listeners.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Do you think if you compared to twenty years ago
when there weren't podcasts. Do you think they're listening to
more monsters or less monsters? And I think more because
you can go back and catch stuff you miss and
the way Angel does it hour by hour, they're able
to go back, Oh yeah, I missed the seven o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Where's that? They're easy to find.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
There it is, and I just thinking about it back,
I mean just in just the show alone, right ten
fifteen years ago, fifteen years ago, the only way to
go back and catch something that you might have missed
during the show was the Saturday mornings, you know, yeah,
right right?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
That was that was it. Either you caught it live
Best of the Monsters on Saturday Hour.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Or Saturday morning, and you were and then you would
only and at that point it would only be the
things that like collectively or the producers, whether it was
Tommy or Daniel or whoever, or Tudd's thought that moment
was funny, you know, so at that point.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's it's funny.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Going back and listen in the old tapes that I
had that Russ gaming, like the ones that were like
stored here in the Monster archive. I've gone back and
listen to a bunch of them, and you're absolutely right.
There was no mechanism to like hear stuff again. And
sometimes they would play like if something was really funny,
they would just play that segment again later in the
same show.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Yeah, if we had something that was really really funny,
but like, man, people miss that, let's play it again.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah that's what, Yeah we did. You should do that.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
And the Saturday mornings we would do the best of
the Monsters and then we'd also would do the countdown
of the five Monster songs and oh my god, that
used to get contentions.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And Daniel would get really mad at each other for
and really try to like win this number one spot.
It was crazy.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I know.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
What was even crazier is that, like, uh, there were
times where whoever was born up in that day, they
were they weren't taking anything into consideration. They just wanted
to hear the songs they wanted to hear.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah. I know. They were supposed to be taking the voting.
They didn't do it. How are you voting?
Speaker 7 (28:55):
They were supposed to be emailing me and I would
tell them, and I would tell them the top five
and then.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
You'd lie, No, I wouldn't heard. Yeah, no, I wouldn't he.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Here's again and this is like what I was telling
you guys here right now or earlier through our texting,
and we got Jennifer, we got simply Jeremy. We got
more than a handful of listeners who they listen you know,
to us through the day and they got there, they
got their ear butted.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But they listen on the podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
There was a fear that you know, we were competing
against all these other podcasts, but what they you know,
what they talked about is, yeah, you know, kind of
cream comes to the top and the things that people
want to hear, that's what they'll they'll they'll podcast, that's
what they'll listen to. And we got all the data
to prove it or whatever. But uh yeah, so it's
been a it's been a plus for for what we're doing.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
You know, so that we got again a bunch and
this is to what you were saying, Ryan, Uh, people,
you know, how they get to us, how they access
to us. We got more than a handful of people.
They go between the app and between the radio app
and between the radio. We got a ton of people
that listen to the radio from six am to six pm.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
So for those of you that just listen from six
oh oh, you mean listen all day long. So if
you just listen on your way into work, you can
go and go to the podcast and catch the rest
of the show if you didn't realize it.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
So I guess wording is specific here you can tell
what the new thing about. And this is again what
I'm trying to say is nowadays people can listen to
us in the car and then go to the iHeartRadio
app start streaming the show continuing live. They got their
earbut in yeah, and they don't miss anything, and then
if they do miss something, you know, like that's what
(30:32):
we've tried to do since we started posting the show.
It's up by you know, one o'clock, you know.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
And that's what the data approves is that people listen
to more monsters now than they ever did because they're
going back and catching stuff that normally they wouldn't have
heard because they were just hearing us in the car
for that one little thing. So our our listenership has
gone way up because they're listening to more time spent listening,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What I mean. So that was and then we got
the one guy I've never gone back and listened to
the podcast. Okay, buddy, yeah, there were something that's fine.
There's nothing wrong with that. Is that is that evil?
I no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
But again that's the beauty of Like there's a lot
of different ways you can download the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
That's a super easy way to do it.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
You can just search real radio monsters on YouTube if
you're doing that, because a lot of people watch from there,
not eating from the from the big screen TV, just
on the YouTube app at home.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
A lot of people like to do it that way.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
I mean, technically, I think we're on like other streaming
service apps like there music ones, but I don't really
talk about those.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
So the way that our the way that we get
platformed at other places. So there's other streaming services that
carry the show as well. Yeah yeah, so you can
find us anywhere. In fact, we're in your house right
now behind you, which up, Jared.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I'm looking at you. I'm looking at you anyway. So
that was that was the meeting that we had. It
went well, everybody did great. You know, uh, they gave
you talking points. Did you read those talking points? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I just did it my own way.
I just okay, I did my own way. And uh
uh so you know, so Johnny Magic had a nice
shirt on. You know, Jimmy came in with a jacket
on and everything because he knew. And I just wore
what I wore yesterday, your bougie golf polo. I had
my golf polo and shorts and uh and I wore
my Solar Source hat because I was hoping Richard from
(32:18):
Solar Source is going to be there so I could
show him that was repping his h.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
He wore shorts shorts to a big time meeting. I
did wow, But you know I was sort of the no,
you're look, you got see. This is why you got
to bring Angel and Ryan and invite us because we
can you know, we gotta, you gotta.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
You don't carry around a separate pair of pants in
your car. Really, at any given moment, I have at
least two outfits that.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Can change in case your poop your pants.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
What No, something might come up. No, that's crazy. So
you don't have an extra like outfit shirt? No, wow,
you're living life on the edge in my front. Oh,
I'm a rebel, especially living like an hour away. You
should keep an extra outfit in your car.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Why would I need extra clothes. I'm not taking my
was for because you go to portant meetings so you
don't go in shorts and look like your dog. I
was fine.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I was.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You don't wear shorts to a big meeting.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
I did.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
They brought out the fancy cloths for the iHeart room,
and you're in there. Word fancy. They went black tablecloth.
There were people at the the people that were there
that were in shorts, they can be that. They're they're there,
they're the they're the people. I was fine, man, they're embarrassing.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Whatever, Now, trust me, I did you proud. I sounded good.
I did good stuff. I got a bunch of accolades afterwards. Man,
you crushed it, Russ, Yeah, crushed the chair. Okay, all right, wait,
wait till you get your pickles. You know what, I'll
throw some extra pickle juice.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
You're not gonna she won't even know. It'll be my
little private little edition pickle.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
All right, more big dumb fund when we come back,
don't go anywhere you're listening to the mantras in the morning.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Mistakes on bugs Philadelphia or Randall. Let us know how
they listen like that, you know they want to listen,
know that they're there. Today's been really cool reading some
of the guys's messages. It ranked you guys so much.
It really is cool. And not a lot of them,
several of them by a handful.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
We're like, I don't even know how to listen on
podcasts because there are some people that that's technology to
them and they don't.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
You know, they're probably older, you know, I don't think
I hit the guy up with that particularly.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
I hit him up and I asked him because I
was like, listen, buddy, and I was like, I appreciate
you listening. And if you can, if you're able, if
you can text this show, you can, you can grab
download a podcast, you can adapt and check out these
other aways so so that you're not missing any other show.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
If you listen on the iHeartRadio app, there's a whole
podcast section and then if you type in Launchers in
the Morning, we come right up. We're one of their
biggest podcasts that they have, so.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
It is easy to do. But I was it was,
you know, taken back by some people.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Guy just listened on the radio because I he does,
he said, he didn't know how to get on YouTube,
didn't know how to get on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I guess that does happen a lot.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
And another guy said he listens on the radio, but
his brother goes back and listens to the whole thing
on podcasts, so it helps him. And then a lot
of other people were saying that they go back and
listen on the YouTube channel. Uh, as we get the
same sort of credit, right, whether they listen on YouTube
or podcast as far as getting credit for ratings, it's
it's the it's the same, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
It's not it's more with more with podcasts. Do you
know or no, I know, we're not supposed to talk
about that part of it. I don't think we can.
Speaker 6 (35:28):
Literally, it's in my contract. I can't talk about it
about which one is higher. Yeah, I never saw that anyway.
Uh anyway, Uh, you a.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
Lot of ways you can check out the show and
podcast is one of the ones that uh that you
know a lot of people for whatever reason haven't figured
out how to do. It's super easy, you know, if
you haven't done it yet, it's super easy. And then uh,
and then going on grandkids, grandkids, they'll figure out. Yeah,
that's your grand kids to show you. Yeah, I'll go
to real radio monsters on YouTube.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Anyway, grandkids don't talk to you what you probably do something,
So don't listen to us because you're a bad persian.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Yeah, you ever try to explain you ever try to
explain technology like that to like your mom. Your mom's
probably pretty good at it.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Two point.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Yeah, she's better than most for sure. I don't know
my parents, that's that. Oh yeah, their their scope of
all the of what goes on is very very like that.
Neither one of them have social media and they're not interested. Yeah,
And I was like, this would be a way, And
I tried to but what but from what they've heard,
like in like in their church and everything like that
(36:32):
and all the problems that they've seen it cause with
other people, like they have zero interest.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
My mom knows how to do Facebook, Like would that's
the one. I was like, hey, listen, this would be
a way that like you can talk to the family
in Puerto Rico. But yeah, everyone in Puerto Rico has
that and this that whatever adam to a group chat,
you know what I mean? Like that And I got
to give it to my mom. She's also figured out
how to watch us on YouTube. She can do that,
and she gets you want the TV.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
You on the TV right now.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
But yeah, I wouldn't like it's being real though, Like
I wouldn't add your parents to Facebook if they're not
on it.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I just peruse it.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
I barely go on Facebook now, and just perusing it
right now, I find myself getting so angry at one
thing or another, and then it does that thing where
it refreshes if I look away, so I don't even
remember what I was so angry about before.
Speaker 7 (37:19):
But like it's a what a cesspool. We've got a
lot of stuff on there that's AI that you think
is real, that's not real. If we know that it's there,
and it fools us every once in a while, an
older person who isn't aware what AI is doing, you know,
it really.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Can get You're going to have to make that illegal.
Speaker 6 (37:37):
Like I understand, like free speech country and all that
that was for a time when like muskets and you know,
horses were a thing that you rode around on. Now
like the fact that you can just like weaponize a
like dangerous content, fake content all to like either like
go either for either a narrative or just like mess
(37:58):
with your neighbors. It feels like we've moved past that,
and you have to like, like you if you can
show somebody who's malicious in doing that, like sharing something
fake or rage baby, you're like, okay, it's a fine, buddy.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Sorry. One hundred and twenty five dollars.
Speaker 7 (38:11):
Have you seen that thing where you can send in
your picture right, and like, hey, send this to your
friends as a joke, and it's you getting arrested by
the police. Like with AI, they make it look like
you've been arrested and you send it to your mom
or your dad like, oh, look what happened, Like, why
would you That is the worst joke in the world.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Why would you do that? That's crazy?
Speaker 6 (38:29):
And they released this technology into the wild and they're
just like, hope it works out and one of the
most insane thing.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
What an insane thing to do.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
And now now we're at the point where we have
those real like people are pulling clips of people off
their own Facebook where they're just talking and then using
an AI to make their voice with very little audio. Yeah,
and then they're calling them as their grandmother or is
their grandson or whatever and scamming people out of money.
And then this is just like I said, this is
just a thing that we deal with. Now, all right,
(38:57):
I got that wacky wacky ward.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
We have a trivia question for you when we come back.
That means all you got to do is get on
the line the telephone numbers four oh seven, nine one
six one o four one. If you win in trivia,
then you get to take the floor and you can
plug and promote something that's important to you and we
get to talk to you a little bit and get
to know you. So that's in the next segment. So
give us a call telephone numbers four oh seven, nine
(39:19):
one six one o four one, And if you get
a chance, you can check us out on the iHeartRadio app.
We do have the podcast section. They are also a
little microphone. You can leave us a message and make
us the number one preset on the iHeartRadio app. That
would make everybody happy. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to
the mantras the morning.

Here's the producer of The Angel of the Angel, erro Cool,
and I came out there in my Ryan home.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Who looks more He looks more fresh faced than awake today.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
He was on time. You know, I think your wife
is the one who's bringing you down, man.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Like.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Look, it's funny say that because my wife, I didn't
know this changed her flight got home at midnight last night.
Did she really and woke up every dog in the
house barking crazy, and then I can go back to sleep.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
So I'm glad. I'm glad you think that. Oh you
look it. You look you know, bright eyed and bushy tail,
and you got here on time. He looks haggard, you think,
so call me my baby. Uh No, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I up my I don't normally get the energy drinks
with the sugar and the Starbucks and everything. This lady
came home yesterday middle of the night, and I guess
she texted me. I don't know, but she had to
change her flight from coming from Arizona. She's like, it's
one hundred and eight degrees here. I'm leaving really dry heat,
That's what she said. She's like, it's like it's like
(05:31):
walking around in an oven out there. You know, people
live there, and you know.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I heard that before I went.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
I went there out there to visit Brett Bushy one
time out there in Arizona, and I've always heard that
dry heat thing.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
I always can't be that much different it is. It
is exactly like she said, it's like you're walking in
an oven. Uh yeah, like tires start melting and things like.
It's that's crazy here, but it's different.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
For some reason, I dug it the times I went
to Lake Habsu a haldful of times, have some friends
that lived in Phoenix, and it was I don't know,
it just seemed like, uh, I dealt with it better
because the lack of moisture in like no humidity basically yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well you have to like yeah, you have to like
loop up your skin and your body, yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
And hydrate like you you do have to drink because
without realizing, you'll become dehydrated.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
I've been out there for Vegas, and the heat there
is different. It's not oppressive like how it is in Florida.
It's just like you're just living in this oven and
you just kind of get as long as you prepare
correctly over good where it's Florida, that humidity gets you too,
and you're like.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
And I remember when I when I flew to Arizona
and then I got back and as soon as I
got off the plane, it's like, oh, this is humid.
This is what humidity is. Like I had to be
I actually had to have that believe and kind of
feeling like, oh I get okay, humidity it's like there's air.
I mean, there's water in the air. There's yeah, yeah,
and that's basically what it is. But I mean, you
could tell such a big difference from what they have
(06:51):
to deal with.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
You don't realize a swamp that we live in until
you go to another plane. But probably because I grew
up in this, right, I like this bad. Yeah, I
like this better than that that that was like, oh god,
and you almost don't even sweat in that kind of heat.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I don't know. I remember just being like, yeah, it
was bad. But so she decided to come back early.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Yeah, so she did all her business y stuff and
like yeah, just middle of the night, when all your
dogs start barking, you hear a noise and the door
opens and this surprise or she called again. She texted
me at some point and let me know this.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You didn't read it.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Well, here's my thing, man, Okay, yesterday was kind of
a nightmare. So Duke Energy has been out there replacing
the power poles in my neighborhood and they cut off
my internet, but they only cut off the internet to
my house and another house. So I called Spectrum and
I'm like, hey, I'm out of Internet, and of course
they're like, Bruce, dork your motive.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm like, dude, I restarted my motive. That's fine. They're like, oh, well,
it turns out it's you and one other house and
said did they sever the line on accident or was
it looks like it?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
And they're like, oh, well, because it's only two of you,
we're not going to send any out there till Thursday.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh you guys suck.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
So I had no internet yesterday. It was raining and
I just had like wet dogs and like when.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh and in these da times, if you have no internet,
you've got no television. I have no telligence.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I had to watch Basic ass Channel six middle of
the day watching Maury Guys, Like, do you know Maury's
still doing the same stick I thought Maury died.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Well, it's on TV. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
It's the same loud people yelling about who's the father
and taking the DNA test.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And I'm like, hold on, Maury Povich, Why did I
think he wasn't with us anymore? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
He's definitely on television, I'll be damn yeah. And I'm
just like because I mean, that stick has been running
my entire life. And people are still watching this, I
don't think, so no one talks about it anymore. I mean,
I mean, I mean, I guess it gets some ratings
because if it's still out there. But I got I
got so bored yesterday because I couldn't watch anything. So
I'm like, okay, come it on your phone.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Can you watch stuff on tvds?
Speaker 7 (08:58):
I can watch stuff on my phone even if I
lose internet, you know, I just pick up my phone
and I can watch.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Netfl a phone gen z er. I'm like, the too
tiny of screen. My neck hurts after a while doing that.
I like my big ass TV. I like to watch
things like that. So that I go out yesterday I'm like, okay,
I'm bored. I got to leave the house. Nothing to
do here, and so I look up online. I found
a bar that would like was like playing poker, and
(09:24):
I'm like, oh, I'll go play poker. You wouldn't play
poker last night, No, because the old people at the
bar wouldn't let me play.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Why.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
They were like kind of weird about it. I went to, uh,
I probably thought you were a shark, like a card shark, dude.
I mean, the average agent there was seventy to dead.
You know, So like I did you go to like
a moose lodge or something I went to. I don't
want to call them out because I've been there at
night and I've actually enjoyed it. But this, this is like,
you know, seven in the afternoon and I think, like
a guy like almost died because the Castlebury police were
(09:56):
there with the ambulance.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So I was like, okay. And so I just sat
at a bar like old, old, old person's bar, just
having a beer by myself, and it was and I'm
just like, I'm like this can't I can't lose my wife.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I can't have this be my life because I will
like I've reverted. I used to like like go out
have fun all the time. Now it's like I like
being at home. I like Netflix.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I like my wife.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
With the rain out and everything, wouldn't you have been
more comfortable just to get your phone, get in bed
and just kind of watch some TV on the phone.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You don't have an iPad or tablet?
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yeah, no, she took the iPad with her, So no,
you can sit there with your phone the tiny rectangle,
lean back and watch your phone.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Done yeah, no, no, I cannot. And that's the other problem.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I have to sleep with the TV on, but the
bedroom TV has no antenna, has no nothing. So like
if if there's no Internet, it's a it's a big paperweight.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
You don't have any DVDs or anything like that.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I don't have a DVD player anymore. The DVD player
is the Xbox, which is in the living room. And
I'm fortually bought a couch that's about half an inch
too short for me to lay on.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You're totally you're ruining. You're totally ruining.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
The point I was gonna make because now you've you've
you've kind of manifested it, right. I was gonna say, hey, Ryan,
here's a good something that you're gonna learn from this.
You know something you're gonna learn from it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I learned I can't be alone. Rush.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Look at look how you worried and worried about your
wife being out of town. And look, everything was fine.
You didn't have a problem. But of course you you
manufactured a problem, and you you found some way to
be miserable.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Congratulations, you did a good job. It's even worse than that. Actually, Okay,
then I kind of undersold it.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
When it comes to the Internet, I'm not actually on
the account.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
So I have to get my I have to call
my wife who's in Arizona, and she's in the middle
of doing business, and I'm like, honey, you turn the internet.
And so she she hasked to do it. She's like, well,
added you to the count, but then they wouldn't let
me log in, and I'm like, I'm just accepting it.
At this point, I need my wife. Without her, I'm
(12:02):
not as good I thought I would go back to
cool riots. And there's a lot of guys that feel
that way. There are a lot of guys that feel
exactly like you do, and then their wife leaves them. Well,
I'm going to start doing better. Guys, Oh yeah, I can't.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Can't lose her because you can control you, right, but
you can't control someone else. And let's say you say
something or do something that you just can't take back,
and then they and they are leave and you are
that much in love and that much dependent on her,
and she's like, you know, sorry, you know what you
did this, and I'm out, Oh my god, can you imagine?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
No, Like, honestly, if there's something I don't think. I
don't think you should leave me. But I always think
about what it would happen if she got hit by
a bus.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Okay, all right, let's say plane crash. Yeah, I I
don't know. You don't know if the passwords to the accounts.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Well, the sudden depth is is that's you can't control that. No,
there are people that are as in love as you are, right,
and its depends as you are and then and then
the person comes from one day and out of the blue,
have no idea. Listen, I'm just I haven't told you.
I'm just really not happy and I'm leaving. Can you imagine? No,
I mean it could happen. It happens every day. No,
(13:11):
it happens every day.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
People who think they've been completely blind sided, like, well,
I didn't even see.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
This coming, because listen, I've been blindsided before. Listen telling
you where you're complicated? No, but I'm not that complicating.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
You you you don't see it because you're so much
in love, right, you don't see any of the signs.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And people on the outside, oh, we saw the signs. Well,
you're not in you know, you're not in my spot
they're not in your spot. We see signs. We all
see something like, oh.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
You shouldn't do this, Ryan, You're gonna upset Christina, and
you don't listen to our signs because you're so in
love and you think she would never leave. Imagine if
she comes to you one day and says, you know
what I've been. I've been acting like you know, like,
but I'm just I can't take it. I'm sorry, you know,
I gotta go no in my relationship. I am ace
of base. I saw the sign. Okay, I know what's
(13:57):
going on in it. I'm always checking in on relationship.
That's not something I'm worried about.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You're sure she went to a you don't do that.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
But the problem, the real problem is because she she
she takes because she's very financially responsible. She had great
credit when we met. She's very good at taking care
of the bills and stuff. I wouldn't I look like
I said, I'm not on my cable. I don't even
know how to access the power bill, the mortgage. I
(14:30):
don't even know who has it right now, because it's
that mortgage guy down I got it from. But I
didn't know this about houses when you buy a house,
the mortgage companies, they then sell mortgage. I'm on my
third mortgage company since I don't I don't even know
the name of the company, Guys, I don't even know
the name of the company to log in to find it.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
I got to tell you, I am giggling a lot
because a lot of listeners are saying the same thing
I was actually thinking, because you sound like you always
sound like one of one of the former monsters, like
you're a little bit of everybody I've ever met and
seen it had been on the show, and this is
exactly what Bubba whoop Ass Wilson sounded like with sweetness.
I need sweetness. I love sweetness. I don't know what
(15:09):
I do without sweetness. Sweetness does everything sweetness sweetness. We
heard it, we heard it, we heard it, and then
and then she did exactly what she came to Bubbins
and I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
And he had no idea and he was him, You're
talking about famous drug exactly like like Bubba wasn't checking
in on his relationship.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Bubba wasn't going to therapy. But there's a plenty of
things that Bubba wasn't doing.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
No he went to therapy. But but but he was
still he still was a mess, buddy. Yes, I'm not
a mess.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
I don't have a drug problem. I know very good
with my finances. I'm constantly checking in on my relationship
to see, like how we're doing. Uh, so I don't
so I don't get blindsided. I have actually a very healthy,
stable relationship. The problem is, though she holds all the cards,
I've got no cards.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And you're depending on her. Yeah, that's just the thing,
you know. I mean, I think she did it to
me secretly. I think she spent the last ten to
eleven years slowly amassing all of the power to where
like I didn't even know what was gone until like
this particular trip. You can't even go out to a
bar and have fun. Now, No, that says a lot. God,
(16:22):
I was gonna call friends over, but I was like,
I got no friends, herself my only friend. These might
be those red flags you're talking about. I'm just saying,
I mean, I'm just point them out.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
I mean, hey, it's not I don't think it's anything
she's secretly done by any means.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I just think that, like she's awesome.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
I love hanging out with her, so I hang out
with her the most, which is neglected a lot of
my other friendships.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Right and right. I don't mean half of this stuff.
I'm just I'm just I'm just trying to stir you up.
She's wonderful and she loves you. I'm just trying to
stir it up a little bit. I know it brings
me happiness to watch you over there, but she loves
you to death. You don't have to worry about You're fine.
There's no red flags.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Thank you to the person who said there's a text
that right now says Ryan didn't explain why he didn't
read his wife's text messages.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'll show you why. I have two one on read texts.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
He don't text us back either. Yeah, so I just don't.
I don't look at my phone all day long.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
I just don't think about it if it's not in
front of me, and a lot of time it's on
silent from the show, it's on my hip.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I got mine. You text me, I'll get right back.
You're good at that. Where are my pickles?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Yeah, well I'll tell you that story. Neg We were
waiting late for our break. But listen, big done. Fun
today it's just the boys friendly. Red Trainley can't make
it in. He's got some stuff going on. Amber's out
of town, she's not coming in. So it's just the
boys today doing boy business.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
We're need friendly, rach friendly today too. That's too bad.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
We're going to extend the six o'clock hour to the
seven o'clock hour where we don't think you're all listening,
and we're gonna talk about personal stuff. So that's that's today.
Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the mantras the morning
turn my next right here in the middle of the week,
which is awesome. How you guys doing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I am Russ Rollins.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Along with the Angel Rivera and Ryan Holmes hoping to
help you get to work and being a good mood today.
So I yues, maybe I told the story about how
you know, the night before was my wife's first like
her last day at work, like retiring as a paramedic
and doing like paramedic business, which is, you know, she's
been doing like for thirty three years, and a lot
more to it than I ever realized, you know, as
(18:27):
far as I mean, you know, just a couple of
weeks ago, she's trying to save a guy and he
dies right in her arms, like like, you know, you
deal with a lot of emotional stuff with that, not
to mention, you know, you got to carry that big
backpack full of stuff, you know. And when she worked,
it would be like from six o'clock in the morning
till like ten thirty at night. It's like it's a
brutal job. And her age I was like, listen, just stop,
just stop doing that.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You don't have to, you know.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
And so she finally decided to do it, and you
guys were joking, You're like, yeah, well, well, Angel said, hey,
this might be a good thing if she quits, So
maybe she'll start making us jams and jellies and stuff
like she used to. And uh, as soon as I
get ready to drive home, she's like, hey, let let
Ryan know. She just you know, she has a like
a garden, and she got like, I don't know, like
fifteen cucumbers, and she's like, just right, let right now,
(19:12):
I'm making pickles for him, to make him some pickles.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
So she started making pickles yesterday, nice, and I'm like, god,
she already started. You know, I love cucumbers too. Daisy
brought in a bunch of cucumbers she grew and I
actually ate it the other day, really good?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Was it good? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Yeah, So she started to and then I she got
a message from someone yesterday who teaches out at Valencia,
and they're like, hey, if you don't want to be
a paramac anymore, that's fine, but I mean we need teachers.
Would you want to be a teacher out at Valencia?
So she you know she's gonna retired. Yeah, well she
gonna relax for a little bit and then and then
maybe do that or maybe do something else. You know,
it's just I just didn't want her to do the
(19:47):
crazy job of working from six in the morning to
ten thirty at night, three four days in e ros,
then get sleep with literal people dying, to deal with
people dying. You know, still has aches and pains from
doing and all that for many year. So uh, anyway,
you know, things transition in life and you and things
you never thought you would do you'd end up doing.
You know, you never you never know what's gonna happen.
(20:08):
But uh, but but we did know that she would
start making you guys stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So so and I get home like this, thanks for retiring,
Marl and all the pickles. I'll take all of them.
I get home, and the whole, the whole damn kitchen
smells like pickle juice. Hell yeah, that sounds beautiful.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
She's already started, uh doingever whatever you gotta do to
make I guess you could boil them or something. And
there's something the whole process. There's a process that she
knows how to do, and she's she's doing all that.
So uh any, very nice.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, so she got pickles on the way for you.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So yesterday after the show, I had to wait, you know,
like an hour or so, and they had like a
big meeting here with a bunch of different clients, like
people sponsors that want to sponsors.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Oh yeah, the big rush meeting that Angel and Ryan
didn't get.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
To go to.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, so all right, I didn't do the inviting. It
was it was me. I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
This is for whoever is listening that knows that, like, hey,
hey gods, we're on the show too, and we like
lunch heard the show.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Yeah, don't get a twisted. Ryan is upsetting because we
couldn't wait long to get food. He didn't want to
be a part of the I didn't get any food.
I didn't eat.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
I don't like eat in front of people. It's weird
because I think people are judging me. So so I
didn't need any food. I'm the crazy.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, it's not crazy. It's always saw big We saw
big boy eating all the food. I just don't want to.
No one does that.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I like a man eating and going look at that
guy eating food, doing that thing that everybody does.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm gonna do it now though, I just I don't
want to. Oh my god, that man needs susting it
and calorie and take to stay alive. Worse than that.
Next I see rushing, damn rush.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
You eat a sandwich, big guy eating all the food,
big Dodd. They do, so I don't eat with everybody.
I went in there and it was crazy. It was
about this. You could have taken a plate and gone
off to the back room. I set in the closet
by myself.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I ate.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
I just I just eat afterwards, you know whatever. But
it was me, it was Johnny Magic, and it was
Jim Colbert. So it was us three that they had
and the conversation was interesting and I want to see
what our listeners think, all right, So they were talking
to these clients about how things are different now with
radio and then with podcasting. And there's a lot of
(22:18):
people that think, oh, you know, more people listen to
podcasts now that listen to radio, and when when you
look at the research, it's not actually accurate. There's a
lot of shows that really aren't that good that yes,
it's hurt them, but your krim will krim, You're like,
you're really really good shows, yeah, like the Monsters.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Like Johnny Magic and Johnny's House, and like the Jim
Colbert Show.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
It has increased what we do because you know, people
will go and catch the podcast to hear the entirety
of the show. A lot of listeners only get us,
you know, and they're writ into work, let's say, but
they want to hear the whole show. And now with podcasting,
people are going and catching the entire five hours of
what we do, believe it or not. So we have
actually increased our listenership since podcasting now.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Well, the other dynamic is now that because of the
hand your handheld or your phone and everything. You know,
we used to have that window that we were always
that sweet spot that we're trying to capture. Ears in
the cars and that's still like valuable, that's still really
really valuable. Yeah, but now with the advent of it,
you know, and we're you know, pushing the show as
quickly as possible because people keep one butt in their
ear and they're listening to the show at their pace.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yes, all day long.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
So do you think it is one of the questions
do you think listeners are are more dedicated to the
show now than they were back in the day. And
I for meeting a lot of folks when we did
the brew bus or whatever, I feel like they are.
I feel like they're more We could kind of tell
that during even during the during even during the our broadcast. Yeah,
we can tell that because it's a fun thing to
(23:47):
watch in the sense of the texting. And I don't
know if you get that a lot in the YouTube chat, Ryan,
because those they're they're dedicated from the moment it starts broadcasting.
But definitely in texting us, we'll catch people that are texting,
you know, two from you know, like well at eight o'clock,
will get a handful of text.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Of people about the topic we we're talking about six o'clock,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
And that happens all the time, and that's just the
time that that person started started the listening or watching,
you know.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, so I do feel that, you know, if the
shows are good.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Now there's a lot of shows and are so great
and people aren't listening to them because they're taking that
time to go back to listen to their favorite shows
that they hear on the radio. Right, So, so if
you're a really good show, it helps you. If you're not,
it is is stomping on some of those. But as
far as our listeners, it seems to me like it's
increased the how do you say it, the fanship or
(24:40):
is it's increased the connection that's probably the better way
to say it, the connection with the show, with podcasts
and and then I also think the YouTube channel being
able to actually see our faces and and and watch
the show is the.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Way time we do one of these things. I know,
we all three of us here at every single time.
How many people are you know, they're you know, I'm
thinking of a couple right now that they work from
home and the husband's up front and the wife works
in the back of the house and we're their morning show. Yes,
you know, they set it on and you know they'll
know you could. You know, they they've shared that with
me where they're laughing in two different rooms because they're working,
(25:14):
but they're sharing that moment and we're on for them,
you know. And you can text us right now. I'm
really curious what our listeners think. You can text us
at seven seven zero three one. How do you think
having a podcast has has affected the monsters? Or you're
listening to the monsters?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Right?
Speaker 7 (25:29):
And we have a lot of people that have been
listening for thirty years, right, I mean I think and
how many of our listeners have been listening for twenty
five thirty years have even gone to the podcast? I
think most of them have. Would you agree, Ryan? You
think most of them have gone and listened to on
the podcast. He thinks there are some people that still
are technically not you know, advanced, and they don't even
(25:50):
know how to find it.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
There's always going to be those people, for sure. I
think I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
I think I only deal with the YouTube people, right.
We're essentially because they don't have jobs. We're essentially like
they're coworkers, right like. I think that's how they view it. Sure,
they don't have jobs. I think none of them have jobs.
There's no way Sean Butterworth, I know. I know Rachel
(26:17):
bart Is, she's a mother, which is the most important job.
But like, let's be real, we're your co workers. You
got no job, so you see it. I know a
lot about these people that I shouldn't know just watching
this chat all day long. Uh So it's just about
because there's so many ways to interact with the show,
you get to roll up in your preferred way. So
I think I know my buddy Brett is listening right now.
(26:39):
He's on his way to work. He listens in the
six o'clock hour. It's always on the radio. He doesn't
check the podcast at all. He only gets that six
o'clock hour, just the radio. There's some people like the
burdener in our chat who's like moderates our chats.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
She's moderating the Colbert Show.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Chest she's in there all day long, but she I
know she's actually working, sitting there at a desk at
home all day long, and and no actual coworker. And
I don't mean that as a dig. It's just like
we're there for you guys, so for our listeners.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Do you think if you compared to twenty years ago
when there weren't podcasts. Do you think they're listening to
more monsters or less monsters? And I think more because
you can go back and catch stuff you miss and
the way Angel does it hour by hour, they're able
to go back, Oh yeah, I missed the seven o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Where's that? They're easy to find.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
There it is, and I just thinking about it back,
I mean just in just the show alone, right ten
fifteen years ago, fifteen years ago, the only way to
go back and catch something that you might have missed
during the show was the Saturday mornings, you know, yeah,
right right?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
That was that was it. Either you caught it live
Best of the Monsters on Saturday Hour.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Or Saturday morning, and you were and then you would
only and at that point it would only be the
things that like collectively or the producers, whether it was
Tommy or Daniel or whoever, or Tudd's thought that moment
was funny, you know, so at that point.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's it's funny.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Going back and listen in the old tapes that I
had that Russ gaming, like the ones that were like
stored here in the Monster archive. I've gone back and
listen to a bunch of them, and you're absolutely right.
There was no mechanism to like hear stuff again. And
sometimes they would play like if something was really funny,
they would just play that segment again later in the
same show.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Yeah, if we had something that was really really funny,
but like, man, people miss that, let's play it again.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah that's what, Yeah we did. You should do that.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
And the Saturday mornings we would do the best of
the Monsters and then we'd also would do the countdown
of the five Monster songs and oh my god, that
used to get contentions.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And Daniel would get really mad at each other for
and really try to like win this number one spot.
It was crazy.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I know.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
What was even crazier is that, like, uh, there were
times where whoever was born up in that day, they
were they weren't taking anything into consideration. They just wanted
to hear the songs they wanted to hear.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah. I know. They were supposed to be taking the voting.
They didn't do it. How are you voting?
Speaker 7 (28:55):
They were supposed to be emailing me and I would
tell them, and I would tell them the top five
and then.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
You'd lie, No, I wouldn't heard. Yeah, no, I wouldn't he.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Here's again and this is like what I was telling
you guys here right now or earlier through our texting,
and we got Jennifer, we got simply Jeremy. We got
more than a handful of listeners who they listen you know,
to us through the day and they got there, they
got their ear butted.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But they listen on the podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
There was a fear that you know, we were competing
against all these other podcasts, but what they you know,
what they talked about is, yeah, you know, kind of
cream comes to the top and the things that people
want to hear, that's what they'll they'll they'll podcast, that's
what they'll listen to. And we got all the data
to prove it or whatever. But uh yeah, so it's
been a it's been a plus for for what we're doing.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
You know, so that we got again a bunch and
this is to what you were saying, Ryan, Uh, people,
you know, how they get to us, how they access
to us. We got more than a handful of people.
They go between the app and between the radio app
and between the radio. We got a ton of people
that listen to the radio from six am to six pm.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
So for those of you that just listen from six
oh oh, you mean listen all day long. So if
you just listen on your way into work, you can
go and go to the podcast and catch the rest
of the show if you didn't realize it.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
So I guess wording is specific here you can tell
what the new thing about. And this is again what
I'm trying to say is nowadays people can listen to
us in the car and then go to the iHeartRadio
app start streaming the show continuing live. They got their
earbut in yeah, and they don't miss anything, and then
if they do miss something, you know, like that's what
(30:32):
we've tried to do since we started posting the show.
It's up by you know, one o'clock, you know.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
And that's what the data approves is that people listen
to more monsters now than they ever did because they're
going back and catching stuff that normally they wouldn't have
heard because they were just hearing us in the car
for that one little thing. So our our listenership has
gone way up because they're listening to more time spent listening,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What I mean. So that was and then we got
the one guy I've never gone back and listened to
the podcast. Okay, buddy, yeah, there were something that's fine.
There's nothing wrong with that. Is that is that evil?
I no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
But again that's the beauty of Like there's a lot
of different ways you can download the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
That's a super easy way to do it.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
You can just search real radio monsters on YouTube if
you're doing that, because a lot of people watch from there,
not eating from the from the big screen TV, just
on the YouTube app at home.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
A lot of people like to do it that way.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
I mean, technically, I think we're on like other streaming
service apps like there music ones, but I don't really
talk about those.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
So the way that our the way that we get
platformed at other places. So there's other streaming services that
carry the show as well. Yeah yeah, so you can
find us anywhere. In fact, we're in your house right
now behind you, which up, Jared.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I'm looking at you. I'm looking at you anyway. So
that was that was the meeting that we had. It
went well, everybody did great. You know, uh, they gave
you talking points. Did you read those talking points? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Yeah, yeah, I know, I just did it my own way.
I just okay, I did my own way. And uh
uh so you know, so Johnny Magic had a nice
shirt on. You know, Jimmy came in with a jacket
on and everything because he knew. And I just wore
what I wore yesterday, your bougie golf polo. I had
my golf polo and shorts and uh and I wore
my Solar Source hat because I was hoping Richard from
(32:18):
Solar Source is going to be there so I could
show him that was repping his h.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
He wore shorts shorts to a big time meeting. I
did wow, But you know I was sort of the no,
you're look, you got see. This is why you got
to bring Angel and Ryan and invite us because we
can you know, we gotta, you gotta.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
You don't carry around a separate pair of pants in
your car. Really, at any given moment, I have at
least two outfits that.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Can change in case your poop your pants.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
What No, something might come up. No, that's crazy. So
you don't have an extra like outfit shirt? No, wow,
you're living life on the edge in my front. Oh,
I'm a rebel, especially living like an hour away. You
should keep an extra outfit in your car.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Why would I need extra clothes. I'm not taking my
was for because you go to portant meetings so you
don't go in shorts and look like your dog. I
was fine.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I was.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You don't wear shorts to a big meeting.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
I did.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
They brought out the fancy cloths for the iHeart room,
and you're in there. Word fancy. They went black tablecloth.
There were people at the the people that were there
that were in shorts, they can be that. They're they're there,
they're the they're the people. I was fine, man, they're embarrassing.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Whatever, Now, trust me, I did you proud. I sounded good.
I did good stuff. I got a bunch of accolades afterwards. Man,
you crushed it, Russ, Yeah, crushed the chair. Okay, all right, wait,
wait till you get your pickles. You know what, I'll
throw some extra pickle juice.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
You're not gonna she won't even know. It'll be my
little private little edition pickle.
Speaker 7 (33:54):
All right, more big dumb fund when we come back,
don't go anywhere you're listening to the mantras in the morning.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Mistakes on bugs Philadelphia or Randall. Let us know how
they listen like that, you know they want to listen,
know that they're there. Today's been really cool reading some
of the guys's messages. It ranked you guys so much.
It really is cool. And not a lot of them,
several of them by a handful.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
We're like, I don't even know how to listen on
podcasts because there are some people that that's technology to
them and they don't.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
You know, they're probably older, you know, I don't think
I hit the guy up with that particularly.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
I hit him up and I asked him because I
was like, listen, buddy, and I was like, I appreciate
you listening. And if you can, if you're able, if
you can text this show, you can, you can grab
download a podcast, you can adapt and check out these
other aways so so that you're not missing any other show.
Speaker 7 (34:36):
If you listen on the iHeartRadio app, there's a whole
podcast section and then if you type in Launchers in
the Morning, we come right up. We're one of their
biggest podcasts that they have, so.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
It is easy to do. But I was it was,
you know, taken back by some people.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Guy just listened on the radio because I he does,
he said, he didn't know how to get on YouTube,
didn't know how to get on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I guess that does happen a lot.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
And another guy said he listens on the radio, but
his brother goes back and listens to the whole thing
on podcasts, so it helps him. And then a lot
of other people were saying that they go back and
listen on the YouTube channel. Uh, as we get the
same sort of credit, right, whether they listen on YouTube
or podcast as far as getting credit for ratings, it's
it's the it's the same, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
It's not it's more with more with podcasts. Do you
know or no, I know, we're not supposed to talk
about that part of it. I don't think we can.
Speaker 6 (35:28):
Literally, it's in my contract. I can't talk about it
about which one is higher. Yeah, I never saw that anyway.
Uh anyway, Uh, you a.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
Lot of ways you can check out the show and
podcast is one of the ones that uh that you
know a lot of people for whatever reason haven't figured
out how to do. It's super easy, you know, if
you haven't done it yet, it's super easy. And then uh,
and then going on grandkids, grandkids, they'll figure out. Yeah,
that's your grand kids to show you. Yeah, I'll go
to real radio monsters on YouTube.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Anyway, grandkids don't talk to you what you probably do something,
So don't listen to us because you're a bad persian.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Yeah, you ever try to explain you ever try to
explain technology like that to like your mom. Your mom's
probably pretty good at it.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Two point.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
Yeah, she's better than most for sure. I don't know
my parents, that's that. Oh yeah, their their scope of
all the of what goes on is very very like that.
Neither one of them have social media and they're not interested. Yeah,
And I was like, this would be a way, And
I tried to but what but from what they've heard,
like in like in their church and everything like that
(36:32):
and all the problems that they've seen it cause with
other people, like they have zero interest.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
My mom knows how to do Facebook, Like would that's
the one. I was like, hey, listen, this would be
a way that like you can talk to the family
in Puerto Rico. But yeah, everyone in Puerto Rico has
that and this that whatever adam to a group chat,
you know what I mean? Like that And I got
to give it to my mom. She's also figured out
how to watch us on YouTube. She can do that,
and she gets you want the TV.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
You on the TV right now.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
But yeah, I wouldn't like it's being real though, Like
I wouldn't add your parents to Facebook if they're not
on it.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I just peruse it.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
I barely go on Facebook now, and just perusing it
right now, I find myself getting so angry at one
thing or another, and then it does that thing where
it refreshes if I look away, so I don't even
remember what I was so angry about before.
Speaker 7 (37:19):
But like it's a what a cesspool. We've got a
lot of stuff on there that's AI that you think
is real, that's not real. If we know that it's there,
and it fools us every once in a while, an
older person who isn't aware what AI is doing, you know,
it really.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Can get You're going to have to make that illegal.
Speaker 6 (37:37):
Like I understand, like free speech country and all that
that was for a time when like muskets and you know,
horses were a thing that you rode around on. Now
like the fact that you can just like weaponize a
like dangerous content, fake content all to like either like
go either for either a narrative or just like mess
(37:58):
with your neighbors. It feels like we've moved past that,
and you have to like, like you if you can
show somebody who's malicious in doing that, like sharing something
fake or rage baby, you're like, okay, it's a fine, buddy.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Sorry. One hundred and twenty five dollars.
Speaker 7 (38:11):
Have you seen that thing where you can send in
your picture right, and like, hey, send this to your
friends as a joke, and it's you getting arrested by
the police. Like with AI, they make it look like
you've been arrested and you send it to your mom
or your dad like, oh, look what happened, Like, why
would you That is the worst joke in the world.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Why would you do that? That's crazy?
Speaker 6 (38:29):
And they released this technology into the wild and they're
just like, hope it works out and one of the
most insane thing.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
What an insane thing to do.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
And now now we're at the point where we have
those real like people are pulling clips of people off
their own Facebook where they're just talking and then using
an AI to make their voice with very little audio. Yeah,
and then they're calling them as their grandmother or is
their grandson or whatever and scamming people out of money.
And then this is just like I said, this is
just a thing that we deal with. Now, all right,
(38:57):
I got that wacky wacky ward.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
We have a trivia question for you when we come back.
That means all you got to do is get on
the line the telephone numbers four oh seven, nine one
six one o four one. If you win in trivia,
then you get to take the floor and you can
plug and promote something that's important to you and we
get to talk to you a little bit and get
to know you. So that's in the next segment. So
give us a call telephone numbers four oh seven, nine
(39:19):
one six one o four one, And if you get
a chance, you can check us out on the iHeartRadio app.
We do have the podcast section. They are also a
little microphone. You can leave us a message and make
us the number one preset on the iHeartRadio app. That
would make everybody happy. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to
the mantras the morning.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper.
