So we got that happen and what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Man?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Just uh you know, a couple of weeks ago, I
don't know if I said this on the air, but
you know, uh, my wife Mary Ellen, she's like, I
don't even know if I want to.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
She decorated for Thanksgiving, you.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Know beautifully, she did a great job for Dexter ready
for Thanksgiving. Uh, I said, I don't even know if
I want to decorate that much for Christmas because we're good,
we don't have anyone really coming over and then we're
going went away for half the month. It was not
in half a month, but the last week, you know,
we're run away. And she was like, I don't know
if I'm going to Uh. And then of course when
you get started, you can't start. Now I get home yesterday, Uh,
(06:12):
we now have seven Christmas trees up in the house.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I said, I thought you weren't even going to decorate
it out.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Well, you know, the only time.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Everyone is coming over is for Christmas Eve, you know.
But once you start, you know, you kind of get
on a roll.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And now this is I've.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Never had like seven Christmas trees in the house before.
But I got home yesterday and she had decorated a
lot more.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Uh. And that all I had to get it into
the mood, right into the spirit. I am in the spirit.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I guess that was my point, is that when you
see all that, it's hard. Even when I wake up
in the morning, all the Christmas lights are on and
it's like, okay, this is I like this. You know,
you only have so many Christmases, you know that you have.
You know, there's only so many that the that are
that you can celebrate.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I said, way, I look at it, Ryan, Sorry, you'll get.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
This age one.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
When you're sixty, you'll go, oh, I know what Russ
was talking about.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I think I'll be the opposite of But good, there's
only like two left, that's true.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, you and I look at things, Yeah, like, oh
my god, we gotta we gotta savor this one. I
might have three more, you know who I.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Mean, you've done all the things? What else is there left?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Right?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Like?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Just just right it out.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But each one is different, you know, each each celebration
is different each a. Uh, this is the this is
the first time in this house too, doing the Christmas
and it's uh, it's a lot, it's a lot better.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's a it's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Has your wife, well, I say, has your wife decorated?
I guess that's very sexist for us. Uh, got men
decorated as well? But is your house decorated right now?
Speaker 6 (07:39):
That bitch hasn't started yet, so she.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Does the decorating, you know, she doesn't do anything.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Yeah, that's we pulled out all this stuff the other day,
so it's it's moved to the spot to it's uh,
you know, the staging area.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, we're gonna call it. Yeah, the staging area is
ready to go. Rocket will be launched soon.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, she did, she did.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
She wants to decorate the skeletons though we still have
our skeletons up from Halloween. Yeah, and she wants to
to just leave them up and put Santa hat on.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
H Yeah, Santa hats on them so that you can
do that.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Things are awesome. I love the people that basically keep
those out year round. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I kind of want to hire somebody to put up
with Christmas lights this year, just to do it.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I want them to come to my poor house and.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Like these people that are used to putting them on,
like you know, eight bedroom homes, two stories and just
like you come to my dinky house.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'm like, oh no, these buddy.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Those the people that do that. Those they do it
all types of houses. Obviously they do some of the
nicer neighborhoods, yes, but they do all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
My wife is like, why do you want to pay
to get it done? I'm like it much like the yard,
I can do it. Yeah, it just won't get done well.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You know, if you have the right mindset right, and
he's like, okay, I'm going to do this. You turn
on Christmas music and you get in the mood it is,
it actually can be fun. A key phrase was we're
referencing him. Yeah, the right mindset, I trying to. If
you get the right mindset, it can be enjoyable. And
then once it's all done, you're like, oh, wow, I
(09:11):
loved it. I don't know, like I love it now and.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I see it's all Christmas stuff, and then I get it, like, man,
it sucks that, you know. When I get back from
my vacation, then we got to tear all this crap down.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's the hard part, you know. Yeah, I just want
to leave it up too.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I think we made it to like August one year
before we took it all down, and like she.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Started taking it down the middle of August, and I'm like,
why why we passed the halfway mark. You might as
well just leave it up the whole.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I did that one year when I had that.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I had a condo over here off of that's what's
that lake over there?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Yeah, when I lived on crane roofs.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm like, Okay, this year, I'll just leave the tree
up and I'll just you know, the next thing is
coming up. Well, I forget what it was like, I
don't know Valentine's Day or whatever. So we'll make a
Valentine's tree and I don't know, didn't then it got
Then it was like two miles. It's like, okay, now
we're over. It's it's good to keep Christmas special, you know.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah, you keep it special by just like not turning
the lights on until December.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well how about this though? The technology, I mean, we've
been amazed about light technology, lighting technology that's come out,
and uh, you know there's about places where you can
order every kind of style of light. There are people
now that keep those kinds of lights up all year long.
You can change it because you can change them and everything.
And there's obviously the Christmas setting and then there's a
Valentine's Day setting, and so now it's just down to
(10:30):
just changing the setting on your lights.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You know, I've got I've got that. What's it called
GOVI or something like that. I think that's one of
the I think I got.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That, But it is it is a confusing app It's hard.
It's hard for me to figure it out. I'll be
honest with you.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Uh, and I can't get the Christmas light thing to work.
I got like all just plain white lights which is fine,
and that can make all plane red or all Plaine green.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I didn't realize it was an app. I was the
ones I've seen. It's like a little you've got they've
got a little remote.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The GOVI app thing is, I don't they make it
sort of difficult. I guess you're gonna study a little
bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
But anyway, Yeah, I've got those that you can change.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Little lights are cool. I ordered more of those of
those lanterns.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Remember I showed you guys that that I ordered those lanterns,
and I thought they were gonna be this big, but
they ended up being like really really.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Like only a c G I rendering.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And of course I was mad at
them at first. But the actual ones they scent that
are small are really nice, Like they really look good
at night, you know, like on the in the backyard.
Uh So I ordered more of those, just you know,
just the other day, because I like little lights at night.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I don't know, listen, you like what.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
You like, right, yeah, yeah, I know it's good like
you like low lighting and definitely throughout my house, so
like that's what that's what I like about Christmas lights.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
They're just like low lighting.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Hey, do you guys have s like this is a competitor.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So I probably didn't mention this because obviously we love
you know, iHeartRadio.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
But do you guys have Spotify?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No? No you don't.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Yeah, yeah, horrible horrible company.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah, okay, well they are. I agree.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
You know, first of all, you're about to go and
you work for iHeart.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
We got I know.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
But the big news is that they did their thing
last night where they tell you, you know, what you listen
to all year, and then they tell you your age.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
They just tell you they've been tracking you the whole.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Time whatever, They tell you your age, you know, and
everyone's freaking out. But oh, I said, like, yeah, I'm
the I have the listening habits of an eighty year old,
or I haven't listening habits of a.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Of a you know, twenty year old or whatever. Eat.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Neither one of you got the report.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Don't use I don't use that platform at all.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, I don't use it that much, that's for sure, Trader.
But it was a right dead on. Since you have
the listening habits of a sixty year old, I said.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Well that's pretty good. I'm right on the money.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You know, other people you know, tell them they have
the listening habits of a younger person or an older person.
Does Ihart have one of those where they do the
year in wrap up of what you.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Mess I haven't added that function, I don't think as
of yet. All on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And if they have, you have the listening habits of
a Republican.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They should have, because it is fun to see the
wrap up because I use a different platform, and they
broke that, uh broke that down. They did the whole
thing that they do your year in review kind of
thing of what the time that you spent there? Did
you tell you how many minutes that you've used on
that platform?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Well, the other platform you're talking about, I think it's
what to Apple Music?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Okay, so I went to that one too. I love
all those wrap ups though. I like it.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Of course, it goes and.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It tells you who you listen to the most each
month or whatever. And every month it was kiss Kiss
Kiss October it was a freely back to kiss.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I had an upset this year for the last you know,
because they've been doing this for whatever many years, since
it twenty twenty whatever. Yeah, and it's been consistently, it's been. Yeah,
this year it was an upset, which so for the
whole year, the whole year, Yeah, for the whole year.
I would be so upset if kiss were taking off.
(14:10):
I didn't realize that I had done this, and this
was earlier in the year and again, okay, and it's
it's me so under you know, indulged me in the
sense that you guys know that I love to listen
to all kinds of different stuff. When whatever, good, I'm
going to tell you this band and you're gonna be like,
what are you talking about? Never heard of them, and
it would be it's gonna be Yeah, I was just
(14:30):
on a run with these guys for a minute. I
love them. It's a little three piece man. The band's
called South South and they did some remixes with another
outfit called Uncle and Uh for a few months. They've
only had like two or three albums. There's an ep
in an album that I really just the way that
they sonically sound. I got And I remember the timing
(14:52):
because it shows you the months of like, who you
listen to more in that month? Do you feel like down? No?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
No, this is how crazy I am. I would feel
like I Kiss because it was it was, it was.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It was this band called South and again they're out
of the UK, and then it's Oasis, and then it's
No Gallagher and then it's Uh. Then it's a Day Lost
Soul and then Turnstile. Okay, yeah, I like I like
those wrap ups. If iHeart hasn't done it, they need
to start doing it, because it's a question of just
developing that out and and adding that onto it, so
it would be Yeah, it would be a cool function.
(15:25):
I think I Heart The iHeart Radio app will show
you how much time you spent on that. They I
think I do listen to the iHeart Radio app a lot.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
How many How many minutes you listen to Spotify?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Not me? Very few, very few?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Actually it's mostly iHeart Radio, and then it's Apple Music
and then sometimes Amazon uh, and then a lot of XM.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Look pull up mine.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I don't ever use this, but my top genres are
pop punk, indie rock, indie folk and rock, and Midwestern emo.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Guys, because I'm cool.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Hey, it's just a number. So how old am I?
I'm listening to the age of twenty two guys. Hell yeah,
look at that young af guy right here.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
All right, we gotta take a break, big dumb fun today.
Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the matter of the morning.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Hey, every Thursday I try to text everybody back in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We'll celebrate weekend eve.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
And I just received a text from somebody.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
You will always text us seven seven zero three one.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
That's seven seven zero three one.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I spend a lot of time texting people back with
one guy sent this and he said, hey, Russ, He said,
you might remember him and his wife Ricky at Amber.
They got married at Hurricanes on Halloween. My wife she
can marry people, and she did that gimmick where she
married people dressed like in the Hocus Pocus stuff. Anyway,
(16:52):
he said, so, Russ, I played the Netflix games you
were talking about the other day, and.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I screamed to my wife.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I said, hey, baby, this is just something different in
bad And she was in the kitchen when I said it,
and she came in the bedroom dressed in lingerie thinking
something else.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I said, hey, you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Snap your phone here, we're gonna play a game. He said.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
She beat me in all the games, all of them,
and then ended up on the couch and I got
no look because she got all competitive, so I had
to sleep on the couch all night long thanks to
your Netflix games.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Well, I'm sorry it turned out bad for.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You, But I did get some text from people that
did try it.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
They actually liked it and they enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I got another text that was it wasn't a text,
it was a message on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I'll talk about that in a minute. That's a that's
a whole topic. I'll do that. But hey, you guys.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Ever listened to a celebrity interview and let's say, like
a musician, and it makes you like them even more
when you.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Listen to it, you like you know, that's one of
the reasons why I rushed right and I both like
that the hot ones the hot ones interviews. Guess, obviously
it's the wing eating kind of thing, but those, I'd
say ninety five percent of the time though, that experience
or that interview, yes, shows the celebrity in a different light.
I did that, and you guys suggested it. I went back,
(18:09):
and you end up like rooting or or being more
a fan of these celebs that put themselves to.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yes, you know what it made me? And you guys
said this would happen and was exactly like you said.
I like Jennifer Lawrence a lot more right.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
You know, but what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But do you? But do you?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
But the coda.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Johnson, it's like, oh, yeah, she might be hot, but
she's not not a whole out there, not a whole
lot there.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Baby can't add.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I don't care about the NEPO though. I don't care
about that. I'm just talking about her personality.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Just yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Not. I wasn't as enthralled with Dakota Johnson after watching that,
but Jennifer Lawrence definitely, she's cool.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
She's a really cool chape well. And I've always kind
of like Kenny Kenny Chesney, like, you know, I kind
of like him. I listened to his music on the
boat whatever, it's that kind of stuff. But I'm not
I haven't been this huge Kenny Chesney fam. And I
don't listen.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I try my best not to listen to other radio
shows because I will unintentionally rip stuff puff and start
talking about it and it's now and talking about something
else another radio guy's doing, and it feels weird.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
So I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But I can give myself a path for celebrity interviews,
because in a celebrity interview, I think is different than
the show that you're doing, you know, with your cast
members and all that kind of stuff. So when Howard
Stern is doing an interview, I like to listen to
it if I'm halfway interested in the guy. And I
gotta tell you, man, he did an interview with Kenny Chesney,
and I thought, I like, Kenny Chesney, that's a cool dude. Man, Like, like,
(19:35):
I it's a really I've only heard the first hour
of it. I guess it's like two hours long. On
the way in, I listened to the Kenny Chesney interview
and he just he just comes across as a really
really cool cat that that you know.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
What are his detractors or why would he? Well, people,
there are people that hate country music, so they all
right off the bat. Does he still get labeled at
that because I know, for a minute, okay, obviously he
did come up as a country music artists, but did
he try for a second to be like a version
of your boy Margeritaville guy? Well? What he what?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
He he loved Jimmy Buffett growing up and he got
to and he talks about this about meeting Jimmy Buffett
was this great thing.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Uh. And he tried to be a regular country guy
at first. And then when he said, you know, I'm just.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Gonna be who I am and what screw it, you know,
and I like the beach and I'm just gonna do
that kind of thing. And once he did that is
when his career really took off. Like he just decided
to be himself. And and he was before he was
trying to fit into a little box of a country
guy and he was just.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
One of many, you know, and then he uh, but
he was super influenced by you know, like uh uh
Leonard Skinnard and Sammy Hagar and Van Halen, Like he
has this rock background, but he loved country music with
Alabama and all this. And he didn't start just like
a friend of mine.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Uh, he didn't start playing music and learning to play
guitar until he was in college. Likely he was like
you know, a I think it was a junior in
college and he picked up the guitar.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And uh, like I said, I've never really thought of
him as a country music artists. Always. Yeah. Again, the
way that I was introduced to him and the way
that I was heard him was that I was on
the beach or at the pool and everything, and it
was like, Oh, this guy's like a buffet there and
they're they're like best buds or whatever. And that's how
the two things I would know about that dude is
(21:23):
is that that think of him as a beach kind
of music guide whatever, dude. Yeah, and then his failure
as a husband to Renezelung.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yeah, i'ven't heard that part of it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, he's got a book out.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
And just remembered to be gay because it's all a fraud.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, I don't think that's true, because he talks about
all the ladies that he's he's dated.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
It does, but you don't know them because they know
to a different school.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Okay, whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
But in the interview I did notice this though.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He's talking about the people that he liked and he
was influenced by, and he was really you know, excited
to meet like Sammy Hagar and Eddie van Halen and no, no, no,
a couple of other But when he bring up Jimmy Buffett,
Howard wouldn't because obviously Howard doesn't like Jimmy Buffett or
doesn't know Jimmy buy so he He didn't ask any
questions about his friendship with Jimmy Buffett, but it was
(22:11):
more about you know, you know, his his friendship with
Sammy Hagar or Eddie van Halen or the people that
Howard likes. You know, he was asking questions about That
was interesting to me. But uh he you know, super
influenced by by by Buffett obviously, but it was interesting
and I'm wondering, like, you know, I wonder how many
other people are like that, Like you can kind of
(22:32):
like an artist, but the ones you kind of get
to know them a little bit with a really good interview,
if it makes you want to listen more.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, if the interview is good, right yeah, yeah, So
that's I mean, that's a credit to Howard, I think so. Yeah,
And it's also a credit to someone and knowing Hayle,
if you're gonna do an interview, make it good. I
thought about t I, right, So t I is one
with us.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
It's a it's a terrible interview.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And if anyone was even thinking about liking him, you're like,
I don't think I was a guy's a douche, you
know what.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Like it's it's I like to watch hot ones and
I like to with movie actors and stuff. You know,
I actually don't like to listen to musicians talk about
their music, especially like because like if they'll start breaking
down a song, you know, like it's a song, like
a song where when you put it out into the world,
it could mean something different to somebody, you know what
(23:20):
I mean. Like, I've heard a song that I love
and I thought it was about a specific thing and
I really enjoyed it, and then I heard the artist
break it down on what it was really about, and
I was like, oh, never mind. I kind of have
that with smells like teen Spirit with Nirvana. Nirvana, I
always thought what a great song smells like teen Spirit
is and then I hear interviews with Kurt Cobain later
saying like, well, we specifically ripped off this Boston riff.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
And then also it's it doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I saw an ad for teen Spirit, and I'm like, oh, okay,
it doesn't take away from the song. But like when
I hear artists talk about their songs, I'm that like
lives in my head later see.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I find that I find it fascinating.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
He talked about two of his hits that he wrote,
like on a plane trip I went out last night
and another one. I figured that's what it was, and
he's like, we just wrote that like in twenty minutes,
and other songs have taken like months to write. I
find it interesting to see how they get inspired and
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
And the guy that you turned me on to is
is that Rick Biato? Yeah all right, but so those
interviews with those musicians, those are super insightful. I've really
dig the way that he does it because he comes
from a very knowledgeable musical background and so he gets
a really cool insight behind that. And I've those interviews
(24:37):
with that guy have been fantastic. He had a great
one with Wolfgang just recently. Yeah, And it's it's it's
just awesome. It's awesome when like you as a fan
of the music, or you as a fan of the genre, whatever,
and you might have these questions but you don't know
how to articulate it, and this guy is like crushing
it and it's like, hey, this, this is this isn't that?
How did you get there? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
So I really like him over like somebody like Anthony Fantano,
the guy, the bald guy with the big glasses, kind
of does album reviews because I'm like, you're just a
guy that like likes music, you know what I mean, Like,
so piano knows how to knows how to compose it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
At the same time, I could appreciate both, though, I
would say one of the things that's making the rounds
and it's like in my overnight show prep and stuff,
And it was on the news this morning and everything's
Kenny Chesney talking about the.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Very first song that he wrote.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And the very first song he wrote was to pick
up a hot girl in college and like he didn't
write music or whatever, and he couldn't get this girl's attention.
So he writes her a song and performs it and
records it and everything, and he gives it to her
on a Thursday or a Tuesday or something when they
have class, and he's like, oh, you know, she's gonna
listen to it, and then I'll see her again next Tuesday.
(25:45):
This is gonna be great. And then and then.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
When he goes to school or whatever and she's in class,
she sits as far away from the she can't as
you never talked to him again, and he's like, well,
I guess that song didn't.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Hit very well, you move.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Here's a risky movie.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It could have it could have been a home run,
right right, girls never it could have been a home run,
but it was not.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
I think of the White The Plain White Teas had
a very famous song called Hey There Delilah.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, and uh, she thought it was creepy.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yeah, I thought it was creepy and still has to
talk about that song and her everyday life to this day.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
So it can backfire heart.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Well, what Kenny Chesney said, it taught him to, Hey, listen,
you gotta get used to rejection if you're going to
be in this business.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Yeah, and about the one he wrote for a dude,
that one works.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
He can call him gay if you want to. I
don't think he's gay. I mean, is he bad if
he's gay?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Okay, yeah, so I don't think he is. He's got
a girlfriend now and.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
He I don't think about Kenny Chesney.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Right, So I like remembered things about Kenny Chesney and Angels, Right,
the only two things I remember.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
He got married and then gay.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Well they got divorced really quick, and then people are
literally in the weekend dud.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
And the site she cited fraud, Yeah, she said it
was fraud and then everyone said, oh, he must have
been gay.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But I don't think that that's it. I mean, and
you listen to him like, look, I wouldn't care if
he was or not. He's so like cool dude. But
you know, he didn't refer to that at all.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I think he's probably done talking about it.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I mean, that happened like way back in the day,
like the early two thousands. So yeah, I'm just saying like,
I don't think about Kenny Chesney at all. So but
I get I actually get him confused with the one
that married Nicole Kidman, that's uh Keith Urban. Yeah, I
get them mixed up in my head all the time. No,
rumor is he's not a good dude. Rumor is he's
(27:31):
not he's not urban. Yeah, rumor is he's not very nice,
not very cool.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
That's what trust Australian.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I've heard nothing but good things about Kenny Chesney. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Someone said, is Howard losing his mojo? Kenny Kenny not
close to relevant right now? Is Kenny Kenny Chesney is
still relevant? Like he still sells, He still sells out.
He sold out the stadium that the Bucks play in.
He is relevant as hell. I mean not in your
world because you don't list the country. But if Kenny
Chess he goes on tour, he sells out football stadiums.
(28:03):
I mean, you know, he sold eleven I think I
forgot I forget how many millions of albums.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I mean he is definitely relevant.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
I mean relevant is different than successful.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Well, I mean relevant you can sell if you can
bring a Carpenters relevant and successful right now.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, but he's.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Just sold out the sphere for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, that's the thing. Irrelevant. It all depends on your
like circles, or your realms or the things that you've
take into music. Is that. One of the other things
that Teddy Kessy did and this is probably why he
ends up there, was in inducted into the Country Hall
of Fame. Yeah, so he does that, and then he's
also the sphere named Billboard's number one Country artist of
the twenty first century. His book Heart of Life is
(28:48):
currently a New York Times bestseller. Okay, but like he's
the first country act to headline the Sperit. Just because
just because it's not in you're not into it, doesn't
mean he's not relevant.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I'm not saying, and I'm not because the relevant would
have to cross over all zeitgeist.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I guess it's like would be my definition of it.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Like like jelly rolls country artists, he's relevant right now.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
You know he's moved. What jelly roll does? People follow?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
It makes news. Kenny Chesney is a very successful legacy artist.
At one point he was very relevant. Now he's just successful.
That's kind of how I would do that.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I know you say that, but it was national news
that they you know, it was on the national news
this morning. It's in all my show prep today. He's
going to do another residency at the Sphere.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I mean, I don't know. I consider him super relevant,
but I mean, is it Dolly Parton relevant?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Dolly Partner is both relevant and successful. Okay, so then
she still makes the news, like if Dolly Parton sneezes,
Like do you use.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The example of jelly roll right? And you said he's relevant,
And then I thought about it for a second.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
He's not relevant to me, not me either, And he
wouldn't sell out. He wouldn't sell out as a football stadium.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Okay, But like like I'm like I'm saying like this,
like I watched Jeopardy right, like he gets you.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
He got used in a jelly Jeopardy question.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So the testing Kenny testing as well.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
When I don't know, I can. I can cite my
sources right now. So that's just how I feel. Like again,
that's how I feel.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
That's what we're saying. It's just how you feel.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
But you're wrong. He is definitely relevant because he's making
news now. But his book is selling well, he's going
to be playing the Sphere again, He's already sold it
out several other times.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I mean, I think kind Nation is very relevant.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
I mean the Sphere is only in twenty thousand sedar.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Oh yeah, but a cost you a thousand dollars ago
to sell that out, becausa, you know, like they don't
just let anybody play the sphere. Like you can't get
the Lover Boys not playing the sphere. It's got to
be irrelevant.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
The Backstreet Boys are playing this sphere, They're not.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Right, I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, are they doing New Year's Eve?
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Okay, but I think, well, the Backstreet Boys are still relevant.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
So relevant.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
You have to understand the definition of relevance involves a
level of like it's it's kind of short term. It
can fluctuate. You can gain relevance, you can lose relevance.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Come and go to break on res Yes we can.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
We played Kenny Chenny Kesney.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
When we get back, Ny, I've only heard half of
the interview. Now, no, no, I want to get the book.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Because he just out the second half. You hate, like,
you know what, Kenny sucks.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Maybe I don't know that would be the funniest one,
but he sounds like a really cool dude I'd want
to hang out with.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
So there you go. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
You're listening to the Margin of the Morning and he's relevant.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Ryan, I know you can't wait.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
The Great Advent Calendar bit best bit ever. We're every
day getting closer to Christmas. I opened up my Batman
Advent calendar. We went over to on the first two days,
and then yesterday there was a little man.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
So let's see what this one is. Hold on, let's
open this one. Oh boy, excited? Oh, this one's big?
Is this Oh?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
This is a big one?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
What is that? Hold on? That's all.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
There's two. You got the batmobile with a it's hauling
a Christmas tree from Detective Barber's place.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
And then oh, then you got an old school batmobile
in the bat Cave.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Uh. Wow, there you go. That was that was ornament ornaments. Yeah, dude,
you wouldn't see that on any of them.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
No, one gave you a box of trash filled the trash.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh, it was very thoughtful. It was my buddy out.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It's at an old man Franks get Patrick gave it
to me.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Really small tree. Well it's a little bit of baby tree,
that's true.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I wondered, like I had a lot of questions. I
feel like that those are a I made.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I feel like it is not officially licensed Batman merchandise.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
You don't think, Nah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
It's well, that's the batmobile, that's the tumbler, and then
that's the one, the real one, the nineteen sixty six batmobile.
I call that the real because that's my favorite.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Oh it's so small, like I in my hand, and
I can't even you're.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
A kid to make you excited, I guess you know.
That's the dilemma nowadays, though, there's so much stuff, like
when you're trolling around on any of these platforms and everything. Yeah,
and they'll sell you this stuff and you think whether
whether it's merged. You think it's when you think is
well the sizing of all this stuff is a racket.
But the other part, like Ryan just said, some of
(33:25):
the stuff that you think might be officially quote unquote
license from your favorite band or for your favorite this
and that whatever, and actually it's bootleg stuff. Yeah you know,
I mean it used to do that. In front of concerts.
There would be the guys that made the bootleg T shirt,
you know, out front. Yeah, a lot of those t
shirts be better than the ones that the band was selling,
you know, back in the day.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Yeah, I just hate stuff like this, and like I like,
my Facebook's full of like things that like I'm very
good at spotting these things, and some of it they're
getting better and I look at them and go, like
some mem right now thinks he's getting like like like
they do a lot with clothing. We're like the clothing
will look really cool. It look like a big sweater,
(34:07):
you know, and you'll get it and it'll just be
like screen printed on whatever the look of the sweater
is and it's just and Russ, you got.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
The same thing because you got those little uh you
like them. Now you just talked about them, but you
thought they were gonna be big.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I think it's called calico. Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
There, there's little lanterns, And.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
At first I was disappointed when I got them, but
they are in my backyard and they're the best lanterns
I have. So because you can also plug them in
and charge it, like if the sun doesn't charge them,
you can charge them up that way. They looked nice
all night, and so I just ordered four more because
I liked them so much.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
This is just generative AI that they slapped on.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
It was a gift, So I'm gonna be every day
I open it up, I'll be.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Thankful, right, But I think especially during this time of
the year, it's important to people to like be aware
that you get not only that you're gonna get scammed,
but scammed hard this time around. Like this is the
part of AI where, like I was, I've been waiting
and scared for it to get to this point, and
so much of the stuff my Facebook is the ads
are literally half scams at this point, and I report
(35:06):
them and nothing happens, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Like though it probably says so much, you know, well,
what happens is that they probably will show up less
on your feed, but it's not going to show up
on less on any other people I can.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
At this point, I'm like, I kind of want to
be a scammer. I feel like i'd be good at it,
Like I feel like it's my calling because I feel
like I know how to use all the tools. I
could scam the old people. I can scam the dumb
people and get it done.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
You're speaking of skate.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
It's funny that you're saying that you're speaking of scams
because I think with the with these lanterns I'm getting
I think I'm getting the double scam.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And I'll tell you what it is. I went, I
went online and they had they had the lantern and
I'm like, I kind of like it, even though it
is small, and in the ad it says, hey, if
you've if you felt like you were taking advantage of
with the with our lanterns, there's another company. There are
other companies out there that are that are faking what
we do. We're the real company.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
And if you want to get the real lantern for
the real you need to order them directly from us.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
And I'm like, I'll bet you this is a double scam.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
No, no copied. That's that's the strategy of the scammers.
They copy something that's legitimate and then sell like a
really bad knockoff.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
That's what I said.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
So I ordered from the company, and I'm like, Okay,
if I get four that are big, that'll be cool.
But if I get four that are small, I like
those two. That's what I'm kind of alluding to or
talking about with when it came to like Black Friday
with that you know, Prime and all that stuff, where
where right now, we're in this point and ryan where
it's almost better to go directly to the companies that
(36:36):
you're familiar with. So if you see something that you're
interested in, like right now, there was a deal. There
was this Black Friday deal blah blah blah, and it
was for the Sea Moss that I'm really interested in.
Right I missed the deal on Amazon and they're like,
oh yeah, now that's you know, now it's fifty bucks
for a bottle. But if you go take that company
(36:57):
and go directly to their website, yeah, they're still doing
fifty percent off.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Okay, see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
So like there's there's a right now whenever I can,
I am now going instead of using that platform, I'm
ordering directly from the companies that I like. I'm getting
better deals, right, and I feel like it's a better transaction. Yeah,
and you're getting it's all you're authenticating the product. So like,
(37:24):
I'll see some stuff and I'm like, man, that's a
that's a cool uh Wu Tang hoodie. That is awesome,
And I looked from the website and say, well, how
are they licensed? How like who has benefiting from this?
And then nowhere in the what they're presenting does this
show that there's an official license or agreement with with
Wu Tang clan. So then I'll go to the Wu
Tang website, don't see that. But I'll see something that
(37:44):
I like or something that's similar, and I say, Okay,
I see where these people got this idea to do this,
and I'll end up ordering from that.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Well, to be fair, when I got the lanterns I'm
talking about, I went to Amazon and got them, right,
I didn't go directly to the company.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So now the company has.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
A commercial I guess on Facebook say hey, if you
went to any other if you went to Amazon or
any other place to get our lanterns and you're disappointed
with the size, that's because you didn't come to us.
Come to us and we'll get you the real size.
And I'm like, this could be a double stamp.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I would I would tend to believe that company, because
that's the thing about Amazon there are they are horrible,
horrible at weeding out pirated material. They are horrible at
weeding out booth like there. Their platform kind of empowers
uh you know uh uh companies and and and situations
where you can see a product, see its successful, and
(38:35):
then mass produce it and rip somebody off.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
And with this unwrapped the Dark Night Christmas doesn't say
Batman anywhere, and there's no DC logo on that, so
it's probably You're probably right, it probably is, But I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Everyone's gonna whatever.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
It's it's just for fun.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Uh And and the audience can't wait to see what
happens tomorrow when we open up day five of the
Advent calendar. Uh, all right, Uh, more big dumb fun
when we come back coming up a little bit later on.
We may have more universal tickets.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:03):

Speaker 4 (05:37):
So we got that happen and what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Man?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Just uh you know, a couple of weeks ago, I
don't know if I said this on the air, but
you know, uh, my wife Mary Ellen, she's like, I
don't even know if I want to.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
She decorated for Thanksgiving, you.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Know beautifully, she did a great job for Dexter ready
for Thanksgiving. Uh, I said, I don't even know if
I want to decorate that much for Christmas because we're good,
we don't have anyone really coming over and then we're
going went away for half the month. It was not
in half a month, but the last week, you know,
we're run away. And she was like, I don't know
if I'm going to Uh. And then of course when
you get started, you can't start. Now I get home yesterday, Uh,
(06:12):
we now have seven Christmas trees up in the house.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I said, I thought you weren't even going to decorate
it out.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Well, you know, the only time.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Everyone is coming over is for Christmas Eve, you know.
But once you start, you know, you kind of get
on a roll.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And now this is I've.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Never had like seven Christmas trees in the house before.
But I got home yesterday and she had decorated a
lot more.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Uh. And that all I had to get it into
the mood, right into the spirit. I am in the spirit.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I guess that was my point, is that when you
see all that, it's hard. Even when I wake up
in the morning, all the Christmas lights are on and
it's like, okay, this is I like this. You know,
you only have so many Christmases, you know that you have.
You know, there's only so many that the that are
that you can celebrate.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I said, way, I look at it, Ryan, Sorry, you'll get.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
This age one.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
When you're sixty, you'll go, oh, I know what Russ
was talking about.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I think I'll be the opposite of But good, there's
only like two left, that's true.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, you and I look at things, Yeah, like, oh
my god, we gotta we gotta savor this one. I
might have three more, you know who I.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Mean, you've done all the things? What else is there left?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Right?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Like?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Just just right it out.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
But each one is different, you know, each each celebration
is different each a. Uh, this is the this is
the first time in this house too, doing the Christmas
and it's uh, it's a lot, it's a lot better.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's a it's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Has your wife, well, I say, has your wife decorated?
I guess that's very sexist for us. Uh, got men
decorated as well? But is your house decorated right now?
Speaker 6 (07:39):
That bitch hasn't started yet, so she.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Does the decorating, you know, she doesn't do anything.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Yeah, that's we pulled out all this stuff the other day,
so it's it's moved to the spot to it's uh,
you know, the staging area.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, we're gonna call it. Yeah, the staging area is
ready to go. Rocket will be launched soon.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, she did, she did.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
She wants to decorate the skeletons though we still have
our skeletons up from Halloween. Yeah, and she wants to
to just leave them up and put Santa hat on.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
H Yeah, Santa hats on them so that you can
do that.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Things are awesome. I love the people that basically keep
those out year round. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I kind of want to hire somebody to put up
with Christmas lights this year, just to do it.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I want them to come to my poor house and.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Like these people that are used to putting them on,
like you know, eight bedroom homes, two stories and just
like you come to my dinky house.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'm like, oh no, these buddy.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Those the people that do that. Those they do it
all types of houses. Obviously they do some of the
nicer neighborhoods, yes, but they do all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
My wife is like, why do you want to pay
to get it done? I'm like it much like the yard,
I can do it. Yeah, it just won't get done well.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You know, if you have the right mindset right, and
he's like, okay, I'm going to do this. You turn
on Christmas music and you get in the mood it is,
it actually can be fun. A key phrase was we're
referencing him. Yeah, the right mindset, I trying to. If
you get the right mindset, it can be enjoyable. And
then once it's all done, you're like, oh, wow, I
(09:11):
loved it. I don't know, like I love it now and.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I see it's all Christmas stuff, and then I get it, like, man,
it sucks that, you know. When I get back from
my vacation, then we got to tear all this crap down.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's the hard part, you know. Yeah, I just want
to leave it up too.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I think we made it to like August one year
before we took it all down, and like she.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Started taking it down the middle of August, and I'm like,
why why we passed the halfway mark. You might as
well just leave it up the whole.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I did that one year when I had that.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I had a condo over here off of that's what's
that lake over there?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Yeah, when I lived on crane roofs.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm like, Okay, this year, I'll just leave the tree
up and I'll just you know, the next thing is
coming up. Well, I forget what it was like, I
don't know Valentine's Day or whatever. So we'll make a
Valentine's tree and I don't know, didn't then it got
Then it was like two miles. It's like, okay, now
we're over. It's it's good to keep Christmas special, you know.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah, you keep it special by just like not turning
the lights on until December.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well how about this though? The technology, I mean, we've
been amazed about light technology, lighting technology that's come out,
and uh, you know there's about places where you can
order every kind of style of light. There are people
now that keep those kinds of lights up all year long.
You can change it because you can change them and everything.
And there's obviously the Christmas setting and then there's a
Valentine's Day setting, and so now it's just down to
(10:30):
just changing the setting on your lights.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You know, I've got I've got that. What's it called
GOVI or something like that. I think that's one of
the I think I got.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That, But it is it is a confusing app It's hard.
It's hard for me to figure it out. I'll be
honest with you.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Uh, and I can't get the Christmas light thing to work.
I got like all just plain white lights which is fine,
and that can make all plane red or all Plaine green.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I didn't realize it was an app. I was the
ones I've seen. It's like a little you've got they've
got a little remote.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
The GOVI app thing is, I don't they make it
sort of difficult. I guess you're gonna study a little
bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
But anyway, Yeah, I've got those that you can change.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Little lights are cool. I ordered more of those of
those lanterns.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Remember I showed you guys that that I ordered those lanterns,
and I thought they were gonna be this big, but
they ended up being like really really.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Like only a c G I rendering.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And of course I was mad at
them at first. But the actual ones they scent that
are small are really nice, Like they really look good
at night, you know, like on the in the backyard.
Uh So I ordered more of those, just you know,
just the other day, because I like little lights at night.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I don't know, listen, you like what.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
You like, right, yeah, yeah, I know it's good like
you like low lighting and definitely throughout my house, so
like that's what that's what I like about Christmas lights.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
They're just like low lighting.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Hey, do you guys have s like this is a competitor.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So I probably didn't mention this because obviously we love
you know, iHeartRadio.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
But do you guys have Spotify?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No? No you don't.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Yeah, yeah, horrible horrible company.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah, okay, well they are. I agree.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
You know, first of all, you're about to go and
you work for iHeart.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
We got I know.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
But the big news is that they did their thing
last night where they tell you, you know, what you listen
to all year, and then they tell you your age.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
They just tell you they've been tracking you the whole.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Time whatever, They tell you your age, you know, and
everyone's freaking out. But oh, I said, like, yeah, I'm
the I have the listening habits of an eighty year old,
or I haven't listening habits of a.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Of a you know, twenty year old or whatever. Eat.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Neither one of you got the report.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Don't use I don't use that platform at all.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, I don't use it that much, that's for sure, Trader.
But it was a right dead on. Since you have
the listening habits of a sixty year old, I said.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Well that's pretty good. I'm right on the money.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You know, other people you know, tell them they have
the listening habits of a younger person or an older person.
Does Ihart have one of those where they do the
year in wrap up of what you.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Mess I haven't added that function, I don't think as
of yet. All on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And if they have, you have the listening habits of
a Republican.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They should have, because it is fun to see the
wrap up because I use a different platform, and they
broke that, uh broke that down. They did the whole
thing that they do your year in review kind of
thing of what the time that you spent there? Did
you tell you how many minutes that you've used on
that platform?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Well, the other platform you're talking about, I think it's
what to Apple Music?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Okay, so I went to that one too. I love
all those wrap ups though. I like it.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Of course, it goes and.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It tells you who you listen to the most each
month or whatever. And every month it was kiss Kiss
Kiss October it was a freely back to kiss.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I had an upset this year for the last you know,
because they've been doing this for whatever many years, since
it twenty twenty whatever. Yeah, and it's been consistently, it's been. Yeah,
this year it was an upset, which so for the
whole year, the whole year, Yeah, for the whole year.
I would be so upset if kiss were taking off.
(14:10):
I didn't realize that I had done this, and this
was earlier in the year and again, okay, and it's
it's me so under you know, indulged me in the
sense that you guys know that I love to listen
to all kinds of different stuff. When whatever, good, I'm
going to tell you this band and you're gonna be like,
what are you talking about? Never heard of them, and
it would be it's gonna be Yeah, I was just
(14:30):
on a run with these guys for a minute. I
love them. It's a little three piece man. The band's
called South South and they did some remixes with another
outfit called Uncle and Uh for a few months. They've
only had like two or three albums. There's an ep
in an album that I really just the way that
they sonically sound. I got And I remember the timing
(14:52):
because it shows you the months of like, who you
listen to more in that month? Do you feel like down? No?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
No, this is how crazy I am. I would feel
like I Kiss because it was it was, it was.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It was this band called South and again they're out
of the UK, and then it's Oasis, and then it's
No Gallagher and then it's Uh. Then it's a Day Lost
Soul and then Turnstile. Okay, yeah, I like I like
those wrap ups. If iHeart hasn't done it, they need
to start doing it, because it's a question of just
developing that out and and adding that onto it, so
it would be Yeah, it would be a cool function.
(15:25):
I think I Heart The iHeart Radio app will show
you how much time you spent on that. They I
think I do listen to the iHeart Radio app a lot.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
How many How many minutes you listen to Spotify?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Not me? Very few, very few?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Actually it's mostly iHeart Radio, and then it's Apple Music
and then sometimes Amazon uh, and then a lot of XM.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Look pull up mine.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I don't ever use this, but my top genres are
pop punk, indie rock, indie folk and rock, and Midwestern emo.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Guys, because I'm cool.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Hey, it's just a number. So how old am I?
I'm listening to the age of twenty two guys. Hell yeah,
look at that young af guy right here.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
All right, we gotta take a break, big dumb fun today.
Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the matter of the morning.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Hey, every Thursday I try to text everybody back in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We'll celebrate weekend eve.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
And I just received a text from somebody.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
You will always text us seven seven zero three one.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
That's seven seven zero three one.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I spend a lot of time texting people back with
one guy sent this and he said, hey, Russ, He said,
you might remember him and his wife Ricky at Amber.
They got married at Hurricanes on Halloween. My wife she
can marry people, and she did that gimmick where she
married people dressed like in the Hocus Pocus stuff. Anyway,
(16:52):
he said, so, Russ, I played the Netflix games you
were talking about the other day, and.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I screamed to my wife.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I said, hey, baby, this is just something different in
bad And she was in the kitchen when I said it,
and she came in the bedroom dressed in lingerie thinking
something else.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I said, hey, you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Snap your phone here, we're gonna play a game. He said.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
She beat me in all the games, all of them,
and then ended up on the couch and I got
no look because she got all competitive, so I had
to sleep on the couch all night long thanks to
your Netflix games.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Well, I'm sorry it turned out bad for.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You, But I did get some text from people that
did try it.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
They actually liked it and they enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I got another text that was it wasn't a text,
it was a message on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I'll talk about that in a minute. That's a that's
a whole topic. I'll do that. But hey, you guys.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Ever listened to a celebrity interview and let's say, like
a musician, and it makes you like them even more
when you.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Listen to it, you like you know, that's one of
the reasons why I rushed right and I both like
that the hot ones the hot ones interviews. Guess, obviously
it's the wing eating kind of thing, but those, I'd
say ninety five percent of the time though, that experience
or that interview, yes, shows the celebrity in a different light.
I did that, and you guys suggested it. I went back,
(18:09):
and you end up like rooting or or being more
a fan of these celebs that put themselves to.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yes, you know what it made me? And you guys
said this would happen and was exactly like you said.
I like Jennifer Lawrence a lot more right.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
You know, but what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But do you? But do you?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
But the coda.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Johnson, it's like, oh, yeah, she might be hot, but
she's not not a whole out there, not a whole
lot there.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Baby can't add.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I don't care about the NEPO though. I don't care
about that. I'm just talking about her personality.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Just yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Not. I wasn't as enthralled with Dakota Johnson after watching that,
but Jennifer Lawrence definitely, she's cool.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
She's a really cool chape well. And I've always kind
of like Kenny Kenny Chesney, like, you know, I kind
of like him. I listened to his music on the
boat whatever, it's that kind of stuff. But I'm not
I haven't been this huge Kenny Chesney fam. And I
don't listen.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I try my best not to listen to other radio
shows because I will unintentionally rip stuff puff and start
talking about it and it's now and talking about something
else another radio guy's doing, and it feels weird.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
So I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But I can give myself a path for celebrity interviews,
because in a celebrity interview, I think is different than
the show that you're doing, you know, with your cast
members and all that kind of stuff. So when Howard
Stern is doing an interview, I like to listen to
it if I'm halfway interested in the guy. And I
gotta tell you, man, he did an interview with Kenny Chesney,
and I thought, I like, Kenny Chesney, that's a cool dude. Man, Like, like,
(19:35):
I it's a really I've only heard the first hour
of it. I guess it's like two hours long. On
the way in, I listened to the Kenny Chesney interview
and he just he just comes across as a really
really cool cat that that you know.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
What are his detractors or why would he? Well, people,
there are people that hate country music, so they all
right off the bat. Does he still get labeled at
that because I know, for a minute, okay, obviously he
did come up as a country music artists, but did
he try for a second to be like a version
of your boy Margeritaville guy? Well? What he what?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
He he loved Jimmy Buffett growing up and he got
to and he talks about this about meeting Jimmy Buffett
was this great thing.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Uh. And he tried to be a regular country guy
at first. And then when he said, you know, I'm just.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Gonna be who I am and what screw it, you know,
and I like the beach and I'm just gonna do
that kind of thing. And once he did that is
when his career really took off. Like he just decided
to be himself. And and he was before he was
trying to fit into a little box of a country
guy and he was just.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
One of many, you know, and then he uh, but
he was super influenced by you know, like uh uh
Leonard Skinnard and Sammy Hagar and Van Halen, Like he
has this rock background, but he loved country music with
Alabama and all this. And he didn't start just like
a friend of mine.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Uh, he didn't start playing music and learning to play
guitar until he was in college. Likely he was like
you know, a I think it was a junior in
college and he picked up the guitar.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And uh, like I said, I've never really thought of
him as a country music artists. Always. Yeah. Again, the
way that I was introduced to him and the way
that I was heard him was that I was on
the beach or at the pool and everything, and it
was like, Oh, this guy's like a buffet there and
they're they're like best buds or whatever. And that's how
the two things I would know about that dude is
(21:23):
is that that think of him as a beach kind
of music guide whatever, dude. Yeah, and then his failure
as a husband to Renezelung.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Yeah, i'ven't heard that part of it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, he's got a book out.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
And just remembered to be gay because it's all a fraud.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, I don't think that's true, because he talks about
all the ladies that he's he's dated.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
It does, but you don't know them because they know
to a different school.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Okay, whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
But in the interview I did notice this though.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He's talking about the people that he liked and he
was influenced by, and he was really you know, excited
to meet like Sammy Hagar and Eddie van Halen and no, no, no,
a couple of other But when he bring up Jimmy Buffett,
Howard wouldn't because obviously Howard doesn't like Jimmy Buffett or
doesn't know Jimmy buy so he He didn't ask any
questions about his friendship with Jimmy Buffett, but it was
(22:11):
more about you know, you know, his his friendship with
Sammy Hagar or Eddie van Halen or the people that
Howard likes. You know, he was asking questions about That
was interesting to me. But uh he you know, super
influenced by by by Buffett obviously, but it was interesting
and I'm wondering, like, you know, I wonder how many
other people are like that, Like you can kind of
(22:32):
like an artist, but the ones you kind of get
to know them a little bit with a really good interview,
if it makes you want to listen more.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, if the interview is good, right yeah, yeah, So
that's I mean, that's a credit to Howard, I think so. Yeah,
And it's also a credit to someone and knowing Hayle,
if you're gonna do an interview, make it good. I
thought about t I, right, So t I is one
with us.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
It's a it's a terrible interview.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And if anyone was even thinking about liking him, you're like,
I don't think I was a guy's a douche, you
know what.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Like it's it's I like to watch hot ones and
I like to with movie actors and stuff. You know,
I actually don't like to listen to musicians talk about
their music, especially like because like if they'll start breaking
down a song, you know, like it's a song, like
a song where when you put it out into the world,
it could mean something different to somebody, you know what
(23:20):
I mean. Like, I've heard a song that I love
and I thought it was about a specific thing and
I really enjoyed it, and then I heard the artist
break it down on what it was really about, and
I was like, oh, never mind. I kind of have
that with smells like teen Spirit with Nirvana. Nirvana, I
always thought what a great song smells like teen Spirit
is and then I hear interviews with Kurt Cobain later
saying like, well, we specifically ripped off this Boston riff.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
And then also it's it doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I saw an ad for teen Spirit, and I'm like, oh, okay,
it doesn't take away from the song. But like when
I hear artists talk about their songs, I'm that like
lives in my head later see.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I find that I find it fascinating.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
He talked about two of his hits that he wrote,
like on a plane trip I went out last night
and another one. I figured that's what it was, and
he's like, we just wrote that like in twenty minutes,
and other songs have taken like months to write. I
find it interesting to see how they get inspired and
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
And the guy that you turned me on to is
is that Rick Biato? Yeah all right, but so those
interviews with those musicians, those are super insightful. I've really
dig the way that he does it because he comes
from a very knowledgeable musical background and so he gets
a really cool insight behind that. And I've those interviews
(24:37):
with that guy have been fantastic. He had a great
one with Wolfgang just recently. Yeah, And it's it's it's
just awesome. It's awesome when like you as a fan
of the music, or you as a fan of the genre, whatever,
and you might have these questions but you don't know
how to articulate it, and this guy is like crushing
it and it's like, hey, this, this is this isn't that?
How did you get there? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
So I really like him over like somebody like Anthony Fantano,
the guy, the bald guy with the big glasses, kind
of does album reviews because I'm like, you're just a
guy that like likes music, you know what I mean, Like,
so piano knows how to knows how to compose it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
At the same time, I could appreciate both, though, I
would say one of the things that's making the rounds
and it's like in my overnight show prep and stuff,
And it was on the news this morning and everything's
Kenny Chesney talking about the.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Very first song that he wrote.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And the very first song he wrote was to pick
up a hot girl in college and like he didn't
write music or whatever, and he couldn't get this girl's attention.
So he writes her a song and performs it and
records it and everything, and he gives it to her
on a Thursday or a Tuesday or something when they
have class, and he's like, oh, you know, she's gonna
listen to it, and then I'll see her again next Tuesday.
(25:45):
This is gonna be great. And then and then.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
When he goes to school or whatever and she's in class,
she sits as far away from the she can't as
you never talked to him again, and he's like, well,
I guess that song didn't.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Hit very well, you move.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Here's a risky movie.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
It could have it could have been a home run,
right right, girls never it could have been a home run,
but it was not.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
I think of the White The Plain White Teas had
a very famous song called Hey There Delilah.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, and uh, she thought it was creepy.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yeah, I thought it was creepy and still has to
talk about that song and her everyday life to this day.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
So it can backfire heart.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Well, what Kenny Chesney said, it taught him to, Hey, listen,
you gotta get used to rejection if you're going to
be in this business.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Yeah, and about the one he wrote for a dude,
that one works.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
He can call him gay if you want to. I
don't think he's gay. I mean, is he bad if
he's gay?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Okay, yeah, so I don't think he is. He's got
a girlfriend now and.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
He I don't think about Kenny Chesney.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Right, So I like remembered things about Kenny Chesney and Angels, Right,
the only two things I remember.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
He got married and then gay.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Well they got divorced really quick, and then people are
literally in the weekend dud.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
And the site she cited fraud, Yeah, she said it
was fraud and then everyone said, oh, he must have
been gay.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But I don't think that that's it. I mean, and
you listen to him like, look, I wouldn't care if
he was or not. He's so like cool dude. But
you know, he didn't refer to that at all.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
I think he's probably done talking about it.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I mean, that happened like way back in the day,
like the early two thousands. So yeah, I'm just saying like,
I don't think about Kenny Chesney at all. So but
I get I actually get him confused with the one
that married Nicole Kidman, that's uh Keith Urban. Yeah, I
get them mixed up in my head all the time. No,
rumor is he's not a good dude. Rumor is he's
(27:31):
not he's not urban. Yeah, rumor is he's not very nice,
not very cool.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
That's what trust Australian.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I've heard nothing but good things about Kenny Chesney. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Someone said, is Howard losing his mojo? Kenny Kenny not
close to relevant right now? Is Kenny Kenny Chesney is
still relevant? Like he still sells, He still sells out.
He sold out the stadium that the Bucks play in.
He is relevant as hell. I mean not in your
world because you don't list the country. But if Kenny
Chess he goes on tour, he sells out football stadiums.
(28:03):
I mean, you know, he sold eleven I think I
forgot I forget how many millions of albums.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I mean he is definitely relevant.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
I mean relevant is different than successful.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Well, I mean relevant you can sell if you can
bring a Carpenters relevant and successful right now.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, but he's.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Just sold out the sphere for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, that's the thing. Irrelevant. It all depends on your
like circles, or your realms or the things that you've
take into music. Is that. One of the other things
that Teddy Kessy did and this is probably why he
ends up there, was in inducted into the Country Hall
of Fame. Yeah, so he does that, and then he's
also the sphere named Billboard's number one Country artist of
the twenty first century. His book Heart of Life is
(28:48):
currently a New York Times bestseller. Okay, but like he's
the first country act to headline the Sperit. Just because
just because it's not in you're not into it, doesn't
mean he's not relevant.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
I'm not saying, and I'm not because the relevant would
have to cross over all zeitgeist.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I guess it's like would be my definition of it.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Like like jelly rolls country artists, he's relevant right now.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
You know he's moved. What jelly roll does? People follow?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
It makes news. Kenny Chesney is a very successful legacy artist.
At one point he was very relevant. Now he's just successful.
That's kind of how I would do that.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I know you say that, but it was national news
that they you know, it was on the national news
this morning. It's in all my show prep today. He's
going to do another residency at the Sphere.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I mean, I don't know. I consider him super relevant,
but I mean, is it Dolly Parton relevant?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Dolly Partner is both relevant and successful. Okay, so then
she still makes the news, like if Dolly Parton sneezes,
Like do you use.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The example of jelly roll right? And you said he's relevant,
And then I thought about it for a second.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
He's not relevant to me, not me either, And he
wouldn't sell out. He wouldn't sell out as a football stadium.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Okay, But like like I'm like I'm saying like this,
like I watched Jeopardy right, like he gets you.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
He got used in a jelly Jeopardy question.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So the testing Kenny testing as well.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
When I don't know, I can. I can cite my
sources right now. So that's just how I feel. Like again,
that's how I feel.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
That's what we're saying. It's just how you feel.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
But you're wrong. He is definitely relevant because he's making
news now. But his book is selling well, he's going
to be playing the Sphere again, He's already sold it
out several other times.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I mean, I think kind Nation is very relevant.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
I mean the Sphere is only in twenty thousand sedar.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Oh yeah, but a cost you a thousand dollars ago
to sell that out, becausa, you know, like they don't
just let anybody play the sphere. Like you can't get
the Lover Boys not playing the sphere. It's got to
be irrelevant.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
The Backstreet Boys are playing this sphere, They're not.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Right, I don't think they are.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, are they doing New Year's Eve?
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Okay, but I think, well, the Backstreet Boys are still relevant.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
So relevant.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
You have to understand the definition of relevance involves a
level of like it's it's kind of short term. It
can fluctuate. You can gain relevance, you can lose relevance.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Come and go to break on res Yes we can.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
We played Kenny Chenny Kesney.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
When we get back, Ny, I've only heard half of
the interview. Now, no, no, I want to get the book.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Because he just out the second half. You hate, like,
you know what, Kenny sucks.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Maybe I don't know that would be the funniest one,
but he sounds like a really cool dude I'd want
to hang out with.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
So there you go. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
You're listening to the Margin of the Morning and he's relevant.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Ryan, I know you can't wait.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
The Great Advent Calendar bit best bit ever. We're every
day getting closer to Christmas. I opened up my Batman
Advent calendar. We went over to on the first two days,
and then yesterday there was a little man.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
So let's see what this one is. Hold on, let's
open this one. Oh boy, excited? Oh, this one's big?
Is this Oh?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
This is a big one?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
What is that? Hold on? That's all.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
There's two. You got the batmobile with a it's hauling
a Christmas tree from Detective Barber's place.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
And then oh, then you got an old school batmobile
in the bat Cave.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Uh. Wow, there you go. That was that was ornament ornaments. Yeah, dude,
you wouldn't see that on any of them.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
No, one gave you a box of trash filled the trash.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Oh, it was very thoughtful. It was my buddy out.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It's at an old man Franks get Patrick gave it
to me.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Really small tree. Well it's a little bit of baby tree,
that's true.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I wondered, like I had a lot of questions. I
feel like that those are a I made.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
I feel like it is not officially licensed Batman merchandise.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
You don't think, Nah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
It's well, that's the batmobile, that's the tumbler, and then
that's the one, the real one, the nineteen sixty six batmobile.
I call that the real because that's my favorite.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Oh it's so small, like I in my hand, and
I can't even you're.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
A kid to make you excited, I guess you know.
That's the dilemma nowadays, though, there's so much stuff, like
when you're trolling around on any of these platforms and everything. Yeah,
and they'll sell you this stuff and you think whether
whether it's merged. You think it's when you think is
well the sizing of all this stuff is a racket.
But the other part, like Ryan just said, some of
(33:25):
the stuff that you think might be officially quote unquote
license from your favorite band or for your favorite this
and that whatever, and actually it's bootleg stuff. Yeah you know,
I mean it used to do that. In front of concerts.
There would be the guys that made the bootleg T shirt,
you know, out front. Yeah, a lot of those t
shirts be better than the ones that the band was selling,
you know, back in the day.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Yeah, I just hate stuff like this, and like I like,
my Facebook's full of like things that like I'm very
good at spotting these things, and some of it they're
getting better and I look at them and go, like
some mem right now thinks he's getting like like like
they do a lot with clothing. We're like the clothing
will look really cool. It look like a big sweater,
(34:07):
you know, and you'll get it and it'll just be
like screen printed on whatever the look of the sweater
is and it's just and Russ, you got.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
The same thing because you got those little uh you
like them. Now you just talked about them, but you
thought they were gonna be big.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I think it's called calico. Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
There, there's little lanterns, And.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
At first I was disappointed when I got them, but
they are in my backyard and they're the best lanterns
I have. So because you can also plug them in
and charge it, like if the sun doesn't charge them,
you can charge them up that way. They looked nice
all night, and so I just ordered four more because
I liked them so much.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
This is just generative AI that they slapped on.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
It was a gift, So I'm gonna be every day
I open it up, I'll be.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Thankful, right, But I think especially during this time of
the year, it's important to people to like be aware
that you get not only that you're gonna get scammed,
but scammed hard this time around. Like this is the
part of AI where, like I was, I've been waiting
and scared for it to get to this point, and
so much of the stuff my Facebook is the ads
are literally half scams at this point, and I report
(35:06):
them and nothing happens, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Like though it probably says so much, you know, well,
what happens is that they probably will show up less
on your feed, but it's not going to show up
on less on any other people I can.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
At this point, I'm like, I kind of want to
be a scammer. I feel like i'd be good at it,
Like I feel like it's my calling because I feel
like I know how to use all the tools. I
could scam the old people. I can scam the dumb
people and get it done.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
You're speaking of skate.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
It's funny that you're saying that you're speaking of scams
because I think with the with these lanterns I'm getting
I think I'm getting the double scam.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And I'll tell you what it is. I went, I
went online and they had they had the lantern and
I'm like, I kind of like it, even though it
is small, and in the ad it says, hey, if
you've if you felt like you were taking advantage of
with the with our lanterns, there's another company. There are
other companies out there that are that are faking what
we do. We're the real company.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
And if you want to get the real lantern for
the real you need to order them directly from us.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
And I'm like, I'll bet you this is a double scam.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
No, no copied. That's that's the strategy of the scammers.
They copy something that's legitimate and then sell like a
really bad knockoff.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
That's what I said.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
So I ordered from the company, and I'm like, Okay,
if I get four that are big, that'll be cool.
But if I get four that are small, I like
those two. That's what I'm kind of alluding to or
talking about with when it came to like Black Friday
with that you know, Prime and all that stuff, where
where right now, we're in this point and ryan where
it's almost better to go directly to the companies that
(36:36):
you're familiar with. So if you see something that you're
interested in, like right now, there was a deal. There
was this Black Friday deal blah blah blah, and it
was for the Sea Moss that I'm really interested in.
Right I missed the deal on Amazon and they're like,
oh yeah, now that's you know, now it's fifty bucks
for a bottle. But if you go take that company
(36:57):
and go directly to their website, yeah, they're still doing
fifty percent off.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Okay, see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
So like there's there's a right now whenever I can,
I am now going instead of using that platform, I'm
ordering directly from the companies that I like. I'm getting
better deals, right, and I feel like it's a better transaction. Yeah,
and you're getting it's all you're authenticating the product. So like,
(37:24):
I'll see some stuff and I'm like, man, that's a
that's a cool uh Wu Tang hoodie. That is awesome,
And I looked from the website and say, well, how
are they licensed? How like who has benefiting from this?
And then nowhere in the what they're presenting does this
show that there's an official license or agreement with with
Wu Tang clan. So then I'll go to the Wu
Tang website, don't see that. But I'll see something that
(37:44):
I like or something that's similar, and I say, Okay,
I see where these people got this idea to do this,
and I'll end up ordering from that.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Well, to be fair, when I got the lanterns I'm
talking about, I went to Amazon and got them, right,
I didn't go directly to the company.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
So now the company has.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
A commercial I guess on Facebook say hey, if you
went to any other if you went to Amazon or
any other place to get our lanterns and you're disappointed
with the size, that's because you didn't come to us.
Come to us and we'll get you the real size.
And I'm like, this could be a double stamp.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I would I would tend to believe that company, because
that's the thing about Amazon there are they are horrible,
horrible at weeding out pirated material. They are horrible at
weeding out booth like there. Their platform kind of empowers
uh you know uh uh companies and and and situations
where you can see a product, see its successful, and
(38:35):
then mass produce it and rip somebody off.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
And with this unwrapped the Dark Night Christmas doesn't say
Batman anywhere, and there's no DC logo on that, so
it's probably You're probably right, it probably is, But I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Everyone's gonna whatever.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
It's it's just for fun.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Uh And and the audience can't wait to see what
happens tomorrow when we open up day five of the
Advent calendar. Uh, all right, Uh, more big dumb fun
when we come back coming up a little bit later on.
We may have more universal tickets.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:03):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
