[SPEAKER_04]: It's great to have you here on a Wednesday.
[SPEAKER_04]: The week feels weird to me.
[SPEAKER_04]: It just feels off.
[SPEAKER_04]: It feels like because of the long weekend that we had, it just feels odd.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything seems to be just a little out of the ordinary for me and does it have anything to do with the cold down there?
[SPEAKER_04]: That night is still cold although we're easing out of that so I'm very happy about that But good, it's just a it's just an odd time.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're you're ending yeah We're entering into what I like to call the dull rooms which to me is the month of February It's always been you hate I just the I'm the I'm that but I've also become a big You love George Washington.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a big fan.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a big fan
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to go unusual today.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to start something that we're going to talk playwrights.
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't get playwrights on this show very often.
[SPEAKER_04]: See it or Mike?
[SPEAKER_03]: See it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Authors.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Rob was a theater arts guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: So Dan Rodriguez, an award-winning columnist for the Baltimore Sun.
[SPEAKER_04]: He worked there from 1979 till 2025.
[SPEAKER_04]: He would write a column with all sorts.
[SPEAKER_04]: of topics in the Baltimore Sun, a wonderful publication, and he has written a play a series of plays, actually.
[SPEAKER_04]: The one that we're going to talk about today is called No Mean City, Baltimore 1966, and this is Baltimore has always had a curious relationship with Washington DC.
[SPEAKER_04]: that when Don and I were doing the Don and Mike show, we experienced first hand when we went up for opening day.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is prior to the nationals becoming a team in Washington, D.C. And we went up for opening day because we assumed that the Baltimore Orioles were a Washington team as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_04]: When they started,
[SPEAKER_04]: chanting outside redskins suck redskins suck we knew remember perhaps we were perhaps in the wrong spot but I've always my memory of that day Mike is we were on the second floor of a bar that I don't remember the name of the bar I don't know but it faced the the stadium and
[SPEAKER_03]: towards the end of the show.
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys were leaning out of the top windows.
[SPEAKER_03]: Allah Mussolini.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just being boots.
[SPEAKER_03]: Marily by the time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because we did, you know, we were petty men and we did a lot of negative energy and but but I remember the I think the first sporting event that I ever attended.
[SPEAKER_04]: was Memorial Stadium in a Baltimore Orioles game when they played the Red Sox.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the city of Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_04]: I always have thought to myself, first of all, let's welcome Dan, uh, don't want him just to sit down there without being greeted.
[SPEAKER_04]: Dan, Dan Rodricks, nice to have you here.
[SPEAKER_04]: How are you, sir?
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm good.
[SPEAKER_13]: And thank you for inviting me in, Mike.
[SPEAKER_04]: it's great to have you here.
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to talk about your play and I want to talk about the art of playwriting and all of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: But first, as far as Baltimore is concerned, I always felt that I would have done better on the radio.
[SPEAKER_04]: in Baltimore than I did in Washington DC and we were pretty successful in Washington DC.
[SPEAKER_04]: But when my career came to an end in the DC Baltimore Metro, I popped up to 98 rock a few times and I just love the vibe, the great station, the listeners and, you know, the whole experience up there and I was always fond of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: But you've been in the Baltimore
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, the book, the play I should say, because I'm just talking to authors, takes place in and around the year 1966, which was a tremendous time of upheaval in the sixties in the United States.
[SPEAKER_04]: Before we get to the play, I want to ask you, when did you
[SPEAKER_04]: decide that you would be able to make the pivot from a columnist to a playwright because you hear a lot of columnists that become authors, but as far as writing plays, that's normally not a normal transition.
[SPEAKER_04]: What clicked for you with that art form?
[SPEAKER_13]: I did write a book a few years ago, I managed to do that, but in my head all these years are voices, you know, I hear voices, and I'm a natural mimic when I meet people and interview them for my column or a story, I, you know, their voices stay in my head, and I always thought that a good distillation of my talents for dialogue,
[SPEAKER_13]: the way people speak, I'm kind of a mimic myself like you are and I thought, you know, one of these days I should write a play and then my first thought was to do a one-man play.
[SPEAKER_13]: I had seen Eric Bogosian, do you remember Eric Bogosian, he did a radio guy, he played a radio guy in a film, right?
[SPEAKER_13]: He did a great rock radio, he did a great, rock radio.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: But he had been on stage doing sex, death, and rock and roll and where he
[SPEAKER_13]: He would become like 20 different people on stage.
[SPEAKER_13]: I thought it was amazing.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I thought maybe I could do that someday.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I, as I was getting close to the end of my run at the Baltimore Sun, which was a long run, I had all these stories, I had all these ideas.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I thought, well, I think I'll try this on stage.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I wrote a play based on my own experiences, my own stories, that was the first play we did.
[SPEAKER_13]: That was called,
[SPEAKER_13]: Baltimore, you have no idea.
[SPEAKER_05]: You have no idea.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I think there's a bet, as far as we're, you know, the DC area and Baltimore area down there, they're, I mean, we're in love with that action.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think people love that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's been very film over the years.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some good, some bad.
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, when I moved to Baltimore, I had a strong Boston accent.
[SPEAKER_13]: I grew up in Massachusetts.
[SPEAKER_13]: So, but, you know, once I go over the language barrier here, I could understand people.
[SPEAKER_13]: One day, once I understood that, you know, Holland Town was actually Highland Town, and not a place where Dutch people lived.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, Holland Town.
[SPEAKER_13]: Holland Town is...
[SPEAKER_13]: It's highland time and once I understood that a paramour was not a married man's girlfriend, but a machine you cut the grass with, you know, power, power.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got a paramour every year we're going to go down.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like to move.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like to move my lawn with netty bow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what's bad for a paramour?
[SPEAKER_03]: Storefem.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't run over any storefem.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I mean, I'll tell you, I don't think, you know, I remember with Donald Bryan.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh God, that's why we don't, that's why we don't, that's why we don't, Brian and I would talk to each other.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, hello here, John, I'd say him walking down the hallway, you know, and, you know, coming back from one of his lunches, and he would be, oh my, he would be, but yeah, go ahead and play.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, being Irish, you know, that Ireland is called the Emerald Isle.
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, I went to a hibernation society event on St. Patrick's Day once.
[SPEAKER_13]: I was assigned to do this as before I had a column.
[SPEAKER_13]: I was a cover reporter and the woman running the event said that she was from the Emerald All Club.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I just didn't put Ile with O-W-L. What's technique?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm wrong.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_13]: I went back to the newsroom, and I write my story about the St. Patrick's Day event with Emerald Owl in the story, and I was a copy editor who I didn't even speak spoken English.
[SPEAKER_13]: Save me that day.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because when you're from New England, as I was to come down to this area, there are a lot of moments.
[SPEAKER_04]: My concern to country station where I call the Jani Frickie, Jani Frick, with the he thinking that the E was yield New England and had a program director call me with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: As far as the year 1966, why did you pick that year?
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay, so the first two plays.
[SPEAKER_13]: I actually wrote first two plays that are based on my own experiences as a column this
[SPEAKER_13]: 96, I was, you know, 12 years old in Massachusetts, but I admired the Frank Robinson Brooks Robinson Robinson thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember saying they kicked the Red Sox ass every year.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's probably.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let it go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember.
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember 50 years ago.
[SPEAKER_04]: My memories, Dan were the Red Sox coming down to Baltimore in August.
[SPEAKER_04]: and just getting eviscerated in our get really the the Orioles always kind of putting the uh... the end to the red sacks season that's my uh... memory and back with the with all that you all know the same age the the Orioles you know one the world series and sixty six
[SPEAKER_13]: beating the Dodgers for straight, but yeah, the red socks are in the world series the next year.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's 67 against Louis Louis Cardinals.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you save a newspaper for that, Dan?
[SPEAKER_03]: For somebody who's rolling you here.
[SPEAKER_13]: Someone recently gave me this.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_13]: So anyway, so when I got to Baltimore, reporters were still talking about the older reporters.
[SPEAKER_13]: We're still talking about the 1968 riots that broke out after Martin Luther King Jr. was
[SPEAKER_13]: 100 cities across the country had fires and looting and homicides, violent riots.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I was wondering, as a reporter, person getting to know Baltimore, I've always wanted to like, what was leading up to that?
[SPEAKER_13]: What was those years like before that?
[SPEAKER_13]: And this was the biggest thing that happened in 1966.
[SPEAKER_13]: But as I found out from doing my research,
[SPEAKER_13]: There was a lot more going on in the city in 66 than just the Orioles run for the World series.
[SPEAKER_13]: It was the last time they had a Republican mayor.
[SPEAKER_13]: Baltimore actually had a Republican mayor who was a liberal Republican.
[SPEAKER_13]: They did exist at one time.
[SPEAKER_13]: That species now extinct.
[SPEAKER_13]: His name was Theodore McCeldon.
[SPEAKER_13]: There was a push for civil rights for open housing in the city to end this en segregation.
[SPEAKER_13]: the Ku Klang came to Baltimore to say, no, we want segregation in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_13]: There were white supremacist rallies held in Patterson Park in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_13]: A man named George P. Mahoney, a Democrat, ran for governor of Maryland with the campaign theme.
[SPEAKER_13]: Your home is your castle protected.
[SPEAKER_13]: He was a dixie crowd in Maryland who got the nomination to run for governor as a Democrat in blue Maryland nothing like those Irish bigots Yeah, they really took it to a new level didn't they?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you think of the deep south when you know, think about busing and boss.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, I'll tell y'all you need to know about
[SPEAKER_04]: you know, whether that got north at all, but that's a that's amazing that it was still the idea of the democrat being less liberal than some of the Republicans, though it was still the transition time, right?
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, test Micon is so who do you think became governor of Maryland?
[SPEAKER_13]: that year because the Democrats, the moderate liberal Democrats, we're not going to support Mahoney, they shifted over to the Republican and there's a payment.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it wasn't, it wasn't, it was too early for.
[SPEAKER_04]: Marvin Mandel.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll call it a Democrat.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's a Democrat.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he was a Democrat as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can, by the way, trace the, you want to look up corrupt politicians in the addiction area.
[SPEAKER_04]: You get a whole line of governors in the state of Maryland.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_04]: And man.
[SPEAKER_13]: Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_04]: So what, what was it, Agnew?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can't help.
[SPEAKER_04]: No kidding.
[SPEAKER_04]: One of the, the biblical crux politics, ladies and gentlemen, correct?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm parallel to corruption.
[SPEAKER_13]: He had, he was accepting bribes, caching envelopes when he was Nixon's vice president in the executive office building.
[SPEAKER_13]: It was small.
[SPEAKER_13]: It was still bringing him kickbacks from Baltimore County road contract.
[SPEAKER_03]: How ever of all the vice presidents he's probably the best one we've ever had named Spiro.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we were top three.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_13]: Hey, Mike mentioned that you mentioned Governor Mandel.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I just got to tell you.
[SPEAKER_13]: So friends, friends, I went to college with up north.
[SPEAKER_13]: They said, yeah, take a job in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_13]: The sun's a good newspaper, but you won't want to say they have very long.
[SPEAKER_13]: You want to come back work for the globe and Boston, maybe work for the New York Times.
[SPEAKER_13]: Maybe you want to be a foreign car as fun.
[SPEAKER_13]: But you know, go to Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_13]: I spend a couple of years there.
[SPEAKER_13]: That'll be good for you.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I get down here after an internship at the son, they hired me, and the first day of the job, the editor says to me, I want you to go down on the federal courthouse, and the second chair, I want to go on a report is who's covering a trial.
[SPEAKER_13]: I said, who's on trial?
[SPEAKER_13]: He said, the governor.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Marvin Nandell.
[SPEAKER_13]: I said, you know, this city has promise.
[SPEAKER_13]: This is the state has promised.
[SPEAKER_13]: I mean, it's just been the endless number of stories.
[SPEAKER_13]: I've never been a dull moment here.
[SPEAKER_13]: They made me a calmness when I was 24.
[SPEAKER_13]: I said, you know.
[SPEAKER_13]: I never I never had I don't think I've ever had a slow day finding a story You know, I got a question about being a being a column robber.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just sorry to mention that so we give a proper plug here The even though you're selling out this play rapidly Dan Roddrix the the play is no mean city
[SPEAKER_04]: Baltimore, 1966.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's going to run March 5th through the 15th at the Meyerhof of the Baltimore Museum of Art.
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you get chance, get your tickets.
[SPEAKER_04]: Josh, you were given me the stats on tickets sales.
[SPEAKER_15]: the shows are already sold out so and I think they're about 80% ticket sold.
[SPEAKER_15]: If you want to see.
[SPEAKER_13]: People like stories.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, the biggest compliment I get from these plays is people who moved Baltimore recently younger people in the 30s and 40s and moved here.
[SPEAKER_13]: Older people remember some of these things.
[SPEAKER_13]: But the younger people who say to me, you know, I learned a lot from your play.
[SPEAKER_13]: Because I don't make stuff up.
[SPEAKER_13]: These are not, this is not fictionalized.
[SPEAKER_13]: These are, this is a historic drama, no mean city in the earlier ones.
[SPEAKER_13]: They're all taken from my newspaper column.
[SPEAKER_13]: Sounds like that's the end.
[SPEAKER_03]: The youths will go home and do a lot of Googling to follow up on how the stuff connects, but I love the air setting, the groundwork.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's what I want to do.
[SPEAKER_15]: Because these are my dad grew up in the city, so I've heard some of these stories from his view.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, when you talk about being a columnist, I don't guess being a columnist is quite the way it was some years ago because everyone's taking their paper online and you're not it seems like you don't have a relationship with your paper.
[SPEAKER_03]: I grew up with the Washington Post and we had heart buck walled and Bob Levy and the people that would just cover what was on their mind when you were named a columnist at a young age to say 27 24 24
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So were you allowed to just go out and choose a topic and write what you wanted to write or were you guided by your editor?
[SPEAKER_13]: I had good editors and I had mentors in the newsroom, older reporters, men and women both who cared about what I was doing.
[SPEAKER_13]: But nobody cared about my opinion.
[SPEAKER_13]: I actually haven't filmed it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: I informed a lot of opinions about things, especially
[SPEAKER_13]: find the offbeat story.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, start with just good story telling and see what that went.
[SPEAKER_13]: And Sue, you know, you develop a voice over the years and you get more confident in what you have to say because you know more, you know, I tell you, journalism students, I say, you, you've got to spend a lot of time just learning the territory, you know, understand your beaten.
[SPEAKER_13]: making phone calls, talking to people, getting to know people.
[SPEAKER_13]: So I did a lot of that.
[SPEAKER_13]: I didn't start off with opinions about foreign policy or anything.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, what the governor should be doing.
[SPEAKER_13]: I just, you know, I took it slow at the beginning, and but it developed a following for storytelling.
[SPEAKER_04]: In the play, you marry the big season for the Orioles in 1966 when they'd be the Dodgers in the World Series with the civil rights issues that existed in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_04]: How do you accomplish that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because pretty separate issues.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, when you're talking about Memorial Stadium in 1966,
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the the bastion of the you know the the white guys coming in there and then you know and these predominantly African American communities memorial stadium in the right in the middle of that how do you how did it blend together for you well that's why the the the marriage if you will of Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, I remember being a kid seeing the cover of Sports Illustrated, seeing, well, there's a black guy named Robinson and a white guy named Robinson, and they're both like great players.
[SPEAKER_13]: They're on this team.
[SPEAKER_13]: I've remember having memory of that.
[SPEAKER_13]: So,
[SPEAKER_13]: When Robinson Frank Robinson was traded to the Orioles, is considered one of the worst trades of all time.
[SPEAKER_13]: The Cardinals gave him up for milk, papas, and a pitcher, and some other people.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: If you watch the movie Bull Durham, Susan Sarandon, and one of her voice-overs, refers to that trade as the worst trading baseball this year.
[SPEAKER_13]: Frank Robinson had been the MVP in the national league.
[SPEAKER_13]: He was 30 years old.
[SPEAKER_13]: The general manager of the Reds who gave him up a reporter said to him, why are you trading Frank Robinson?
[SPEAKER_13]: He's only 30 years old.
[SPEAKER_13]: And this guy named Bill Dewitt said, yeah, but he's an old 30.
[SPEAKER_13]: that he became known as dimwit in Ohio.
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway Frank Robinson was pretty outspoken too, right?
[SPEAKER_13]: I mean he was interesting because he so he comes over to the Orioles and they have a Jewish owner, Jerry Hoffberger, who
[SPEAKER_13]: Tells him, we brought you over here because we wanted to change the image of the Orioles.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, we wanted to do it for the fans.
[SPEAKER_13]: We, you know, it's a white crowd at Memorial Stadium.
[SPEAKER_13]: He doesn't say it that way, but that's what he means.
[SPEAKER_13]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_13]: He tells Frank, that's why you're here.
[SPEAKER_13]: And Frank is resistant to being a crusader.
[SPEAKER_13]: Right, it's first later on he becomes the first black manager and major league baseball Cleveland Indians Cleveland Indians and he and he writes a book about Racism in sports and what he dealt with but at that time he said that what I do is that I'm on the field And this is what I do here.
[SPEAKER_13]: This is my contribution to the cause.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm not Martin Luther King Jr. and He respected what the civil rights movement was doing, but he felt his role was just to be
[SPEAKER_13]: Frank Robinson on the field breaking through and the Orioles only had three black players in 1966 but that that was the start of that so I thought well you know you've got this these two guys a white Robinson and a black Robinson leading a team to a world championship in a city that is struggling with racism and white flight and I thought you know this is a good mixture to tell this story and that that mayor that I mentioned earlier is in the middle of all this trying
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, he sees white people leaving the city.
[SPEAKER_13]: He hears from black people who say they're living in poverty.
[SPEAKER_13]: They need more opportunity.
[SPEAKER_13]: I just thought it was an interesting ingredients for a play.
[SPEAKER_04]: When you were covering Baltimore for as long as you did, I always thought that you referred to Washington, D.C. as the northernmost southern city and the southernmost northern city.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, Baltimore falls into that category, too.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would think, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you got a lot of the, and, and the, Well, the original Mason Dixon line was Maryland, Pennsylvania.
[SPEAKER_03]: So when you talk about the South, it starts at Maryland.
[SPEAKER_04]: And when you're talking about civil rights and police, and it seems to me that in so many of these cities and not just Baltimore, Washington, but Philadelphia, New York City, you have these predominantly white police departments, and they dominate these cities in the eastern seaboard.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I would imagine that created its own level of tension, too.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's interesting you bring that up because that's addressed in the play.
[SPEAKER_13]: Also, another thing I discovered in 1966 was that the mayor got rid of the police commissioner, who was, I think, considered a racist and had a terrible problem with police brutality.
[SPEAKER_13]: And there was a big report done that was finished that year on police brutality in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_13]: And the mayor got rid of this police commissioner and appointed another one who was known for
[SPEAKER_13]: having handled, excuse me, having handled well the uprisings and tensions, racial tensions in the city of Cambridge on the eastern shore, which had earlier had confrontations between blacks and whites.
[SPEAKER_13]: So that's addressed.
[SPEAKER_13]: And then the mayor has told that he needs a higher-moid black officers, you know, that you need to have a civilian review board for police brutality.
[SPEAKER_13]: All these issues come up in the play.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's amazing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's funny when you talk about the more, you know, the better police you've coming in from Cambridge, which the Eastern Shore of Maryland was the hotbed for the clan.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where you had a lot of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's amazing too.
[SPEAKER_04]: I still have all these memories of when I lived in Maryland.
[SPEAKER_13]: I do too, I came to Maryland as a kid when my brother got older brother got married on the eastern shore in Chester town and everything was no separated.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, they were assigned to say, Colored's, said, why are you saying?
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: I mean, I have a vivid memory of that because we were from up north, you know, he said, well, this is such a culture shock for us.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, so so a lot of those issues are addressed in a 90-minute play.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's awesome.
[SPEAKER_13]: That's how I go ahead.
[SPEAKER_03]: A question just about Baltimore and your beat.
[SPEAKER_03]: Over the Christmas holiday, I watched a movie called Baltimore Ones.
[SPEAKER_03]: You said you had seen it as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and then you go back and there's other movies like
[SPEAKER_03]: is just a great storytelling town or am I not reading this for it just seems to be right stories land well and tell well out of Baltimore and why is that he's supposed I you know I kind of I wish I knew that I the answer to that I just that's way I found it yeah I stayed here so long
[SPEAKER_13]: I'll give you an example.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, that story in Baltimore, Ron's, it's sort of a happenstance kind of thing, right?
[SPEAKER_13]: Right.
[SPEAKER_13]: It goes to a dentist on Christmas Eve and it goes into the story follows from there, right?
[SPEAKER_13]: Right.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: I was walking down Saratoga Street one day and a young man walked up to me and asked if I knew how to tie a neck tie.
[SPEAKER_13]: This was just before I resigned from this time.
[SPEAKER_13]: This was like a last winter.
[SPEAKER_13]: And, you know, he was nicely dressed, he was going to a job interview, and he had everything including the white shirt, but he didn't know how to tie it, neck tie.
[SPEAKER_13]: And he had a neck tie with him still in the cellophane.
[SPEAKER_13]: I said, well, the first thing you should do is take it out of the wrapper.
[SPEAKER_13]: And then I tried to show him how to tie it on here.
[SPEAKER_13]: And instead, I just put it on myself and tie it and helped him get.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you have to, because you can't tie it backwards.
[SPEAKER_13]: No, it's hard.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: But you know, I wrote a column about that little encounter on the street and he thanked me and I said, I thanked you for making me feel useful today.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, I feel like I helped this guy along.
[SPEAKER_13]: He was sweating a little bit, worried about getting to the job and if you on time.
[SPEAKER_13]: So, I mean, I just cite that as an example of how things happen, you know, I, I, I eaves his drop on buses when I take the MTA bus and I, I guess, I think it's similar.
[SPEAKER_04]: When you're talking about doing what we do here, where it's storytelling, that's really, I'm not a stand-up comedian and, but I love to tell a good story.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're talking, by the way, with Dan, Dan Roddrix, the play is no means City Baltimore in 1966.
[SPEAKER_04]: Before we let you go, I want to play a game with you.
[SPEAKER_04]: which I think would be fun because we have a lot of people that listen to this show that are Baltimore folk.
[SPEAKER_04]: They actually, and I want to throw names out at you.
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys feel free to play along with this as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is the Baltimore name game.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll throw a name at you and you know, with that much time under your belt in that city, I'm sure you have a, you know, recognition.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll throw some Baltimore names that you William Donald
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, do it now.
[SPEAKER_13]: Do it now.
[SPEAKER_13]: Not tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do it now.
[SPEAKER_13]: Here's one reaction to that guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I just get what you're impression of the people.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, you know, as far as it was.
[SPEAKER_13]: He was a beautiful man child with a terrible temper.
[SPEAKER_13]: He used to do this.
[SPEAKER_13]: He would see me at a city council hearing.
[SPEAKER_13]: I mean, on the other side of the room, and he had a bundle of papers in his hands, and he'd see me and he'd start doing this.
[SPEAKER_04]: That was awesome.
[SPEAKER_04]: New this was the right thing to do with you.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm throwing names out from my, just my limited knowledge.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jerry Turner, the legendary television anchor.
[SPEAKER_13]: Jerry Turner right now, he was our, he was our, Baltimore Walter Cronkite really.
[SPEAKER_13]: He was, he was a great anchor man in Channel 13.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, wonderful man.
[SPEAKER_04]: John Waters.
[SPEAKER_13]: John Waters who, you know, I've gotten a no John over the years and he's put Baltimore on the map for being a trashy, you know, a place where trash rules, you know, he thinks our city's motto instead of being welcome to Baltimore, Han should be come to Baltimore and be appalled.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know, that's the same.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you ever bump into, you know, the, did you ever bump into divine in, uh, in, uh, in Baltimore?
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, I did.
[SPEAKER_13]: I was at the opening of, uh, hairspray, the original hairspray.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: At the Senator Theatre in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_13]: and John and Divine both signed the concrete in the sidewalk out front.
[SPEAKER_13]: You can still see it there and Divine had nothing to sign it with so I handed her my pen and she signed it, they signed it and I still have, I still have the pen that divine signed her name within concrete with a little dab of concrete on it.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_13]: One last thing about the opening a hairspray.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: You remember the beautiful model who was married to Rick O'Kesick Paulina.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Because Rick O'Kesick was in the movie.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_13]: Sitting down with John Waters and other people.
[SPEAKER_13]: I got to escort her to the balcony.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I sat with him.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was really one of the most beautiful women.
[SPEAKER_04]: She was incredible.
[SPEAKER_13]: And she wanted popcorn with no butter, so that was a code for you.
[SPEAKER_04]: You want to play this game?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I do have one and I don't know if it's too obscure or not.
[SPEAKER_03]: Virginia Baker.
[SPEAKER_03]: She was a local.
[SPEAKER_04]: I wrote you a Baker.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: She worked for Sheifer.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, but it's getting director of fun and games and director of fun work.
[SPEAKER_04]: She used to work with our show.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you ever cover the frog hop in this year?
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, yeah, and we had a crab race as a precness.
[SPEAKER_13]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Mike Romero, I have to say something to you about years ago, the Don and Mike, I'm going to listen to it all the time, I was just talking to a friend of mine last night about being on the show today and we were reminiscing about.
[SPEAKER_13]: all the laughs you gave us, but this, this, this one thing, it might seem a little obscured that I would remember this, but this,
[SPEAKER_13]: One of your imitations has been in my head all these years and it was when you were spoofing the TV show 24 with Keith with Sutherland and your imitation of William Devane, how are you doing that?
[SPEAKER_13]: That's hard Jack.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, Jack.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you insane?
[SPEAKER_05]: If you're going to do William Devane Dan, you've got to lead with your
[SPEAKER_05]: There you go, Jack.
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause it's just he had the largest teeth in show business.
[SPEAKER_05]: Overfight.
[SPEAKER_04]: Overfighting.
[SPEAKER_05]: The giant overbiped with a big piano key T. He has, are you insane?
[SPEAKER_05]: And there's no way I can do that.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's right, Jack.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's where right, I think out of time.
[SPEAKER_05]: There he goes.
[SPEAKER_05]: There isn't enough time.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, one real quick.
[SPEAKER_04]: I, because I'm going to, I'm going to think of 90.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Pollock Johnny's down on the block.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: The block.
[SPEAKER_13]: The strip joins us where you went after you went to the strip joint.
[SPEAKER_13]: They have a pollock Johnny's Polish sausage.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And last but very much not least.
[SPEAKER_04]: Marty Bass.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Marty.
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, it's Channel 13 for you.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's still on the air.
[SPEAKER_13]: Got a little trouble one year when he was driving around Paterson Park area in his car and told a young woman that he wanted to get inside her head.
[SPEAKER_13]: I think that's your head, and she turned out to be a lady of the night, and I'm going to bring all that up again.
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on now, Morty.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're in Baltimore and you're listening to this, or you know somebody up there, give them a call, let them know that tickets are selling pretty quickly for this, and you might check it out at the Meyerhoff Auditorium at the Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_04]: museum of art March 5th through the 15th.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's called no mean city Baltimore 1966 from the man who has voted Baltimore's best playwright Dan Roderick's and And he was also smart enough to write himself a role in the play.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you're in it.
[SPEAKER_03]: You will get cast if you write yourself a role.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, right
[SPEAKER_04]: Good luck come back and you know join us for any time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'd love to have you as our Baltimore a historical expert because you really did well on the name quiz there.
[SPEAKER_04]: That was really good stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: And thanks for taking the time out to be with us today.
[SPEAKER_04]: We appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks, Dan Roddrix, everybody.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I know that Josh's father is probably smiling.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got to make sure he listens to that episode.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I'm here every day all the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: That guy loves his job for many years.
[SPEAKER_03]: That guy, Dan Roddrix.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was been great.
[SPEAKER_15]: That was on my entire life.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's a survivor that lasted as long as he did in this world of, you know, very tough times for newspapers across the country and it just brought back all the memories of Baltimore that I had because I worked in anapolis that was the only the second radio market that I worked in was in anapolis and I kind of you track with that, you know, the Eastern Shore Baltimore and all of that and don't forget your first affiliate, I mean, technically your first affiliate was a Baltimore repeater of WJFK so you had presence there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and I really do believe the first sporting event that I would I would come down and visit my sister and my brother-in-law and I and his buddy would go to Memorial Stadium and I remember the drive to Memorial Stadium.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was the, remember how hard you're too young to have gone to Memorial Stadium, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Josh, you're Camden Yard sky all the way.
[SPEAKER_15]: No, no, Memorial Stadium was my childhood.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: I remember going as a kid and falling in love with the Orioles.
[SPEAKER_03]: His mother gave birth in Memorial Stadium.
[SPEAKER_03]: He too Josh.
[SPEAKER_15]: To Josh in section three, three, six.
[SPEAKER_15]: I always remember.
[SPEAKER_15]: Memorial Stadium because of the game where Bo Jackson ran up the wall and as a kid, I was just amazed by.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, Bo knows walls.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, the, all I remember was this and I know it'll, it'll play into the show because you got something about it later on in the show, Rob.
[SPEAKER_04]: But, uh, my, my brother-in-law Paul and his friend Paul, another mom, uh, we're busting my chops and I, I don't know, we've had a few beers and we're walking in and we had a little
[SPEAKER_04]: Paul, his buddy pointed at me and said, don't mind him, he's a P.G.R.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's a P.G.R.
[SPEAKER_04]: like Prince George's camera.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: A local reference.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I remember my memory of Memorial Stadium was also that they had these crab cakes that were like bricks.
[SPEAKER_04]: these crab cakes that really weren't crab cakes at all.
[SPEAKER_04]: They were little disks.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, cocky pucks, you know, that were, you know, in name only crab cakes that they had, but I go up to Memorial Stadium.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure it was better than the crab cakes down here.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, they're all bad down here.
[SPEAKER_03]: What I remember Memorial Stadium was in a beautiful area.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, real stadium fan so much fun to park in because they would do the double and triple park you in.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you just sit in the car all night until eventually you can get out and then they built the probably one of the best baseball stadiums in America.
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you can't be yard sort of shepherd in the era of the new gorgeous ballpark?
[SPEAKER_04]: They shepherd it in the era of the new, uh,
[SPEAKER_04]: the new stadium baseball stadium that was paying homage to the director's house.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I remember when it was open, it was such a big deal because it didn't look like anything.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, now there, there's so many great ones around baseball right now, but that, that was just not DC.
[SPEAKER_04]: Not DC now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, not since we lost RFK, that was another beautiful structure.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Junior?
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, no, senior for this one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, now actually Mike that is falling apart.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now it's RFK, Junior's taking a very good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, we'll take a break, come back, got some news for you.
[SPEAKER_04]: And lots more fun coming up on the Michael Mary show.
[SPEAKER_04]: That was great to have Dan on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Josh, it's called Baltimore tidbits.
[SPEAKER_03]: Baltimore tidbits for you right now, Han.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hope you're doing a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it already details.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I should have mentioned her a lever, because he was around for the Earl Weaver era.
[SPEAKER_15]: But I'm just glad you brought up Marty Pass.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's the first.
[SPEAKER_15]: That was the first name to come to mind for me.
[SPEAKER_04]: absolutely great journalist.
[SPEAKER_04]: He can't talk about bull more without talking about and I didn't realize Marty Bass is still on the air up there, Josh.
[SPEAKER_15]: I know it's on TV.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, he's still doing the weather.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's still, you know, as a child growing up in that area, Marty Bass is where you watch for the school closings.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the thing that was magical of the Dan Roddrix is when you bring up Marty Best everyone knows the backstory, but he has the details.
[SPEAKER_04]: He says well Marty ran into some trouble in Patterson Park and like a great columnist like those wonderful guys that write for newspapers Yeah, right funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_04]: He lost art.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just a word.
[SPEAKER_04]: That was funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: I love that All right, we're gonna start today with AI if you have been worried
[SPEAKER_04]: Like many people, I think, that are out there, that are worried about the possibility of AI taking your job, you're not totally off base.
[SPEAKER_04]: According to a recent report, 92% of companies plan to increase their investments in AI over the next two to three years.
[SPEAKER_04]: Here are three tips.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was thinking about it with my kid driving to school today, and what he needs to do to prepare, to get out in the job market even when he gets out there with AI.
[SPEAKER_03]: As a matter of fact, Josh had some words with me before the show.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got four weeks.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've get ready.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Number one is be proactive.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't wait for your company to help you get up to speed with AI.
[SPEAKER_04]: Employers are rapidly implementing AI tech, but not many are proving our providing support to their employees.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's on you to figure it out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whether that'll help.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I can't help saying any job.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't look at us replacing.
[SPEAKER_04]: You look at us as a tool.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, number two is collaborate with co-workers who are familiar with AI.
[SPEAKER_04]: Even if you've been doing the same job for a while, you can likely still learn something from your younger co-workers who might have more experiencing more experience using AI.
[SPEAKER_04]: I find the whole AI discussion.
[SPEAKER_04]: borders on a little agism a little bit right here a lot of that online with that if you're over fifty and you don't understand this a. I will understand what the hell it is and if you're over fifty and you understand why this dog is dancing yeah if you're thinking about using AI and you have diabetes
[SPEAKER_04]: And number three is use your human abilities to your advantage.
[SPEAKER_04]: AI may be able to do some aspects of your job, but it doesn't have all the human qualities you bring to your work.
[SPEAKER_04]: It definitely struggles with things like good judgment, nuance, and empathy.
[SPEAKER_04]: True.
[SPEAKER_03]: Very true.
[SPEAKER_04]: We need more empathy in the world.
[SPEAKER_04]: So use that to your advantage.
[SPEAKER_04]: If that helps, I hope it helps something.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think that the people of Baltimore are empathetic to Marty Bass?
[SPEAKER_04]: every day every day because that's one thing about Baltimore is people are loyal they are by day with the Baltimore sun forever so much better a media market so much more entrenched people that stay in the area as opposed to the you know the fleeting nature of Washington these days there's a stepping stone yeah absolutely yeah I hear people all the time say I could have been a star in Baltimore
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's a problem maybe and it's because DC's so transient and it's just what have you done for me lately and that's D.C. Baltimore, when I was even substituting on the radio up in Baltimore, I really, really wanted to get a gig after my Washington experience and I was weird.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did, I did one morning with you at 98 rock and it is, it's a totally different feeling than any other radio studio that I've ever sat in.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was still up there, Justin Schloss still got it.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, because once you join that, you can't leave.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you can stay forever, no matter where you are.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, that's how they're doing.
[SPEAKER_15]: Not a better place to go, once you're there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to do any show prep.
[SPEAKER_04]: High-curk, anyway.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now being kind, sorry, if you confront your kids about profanity, would they respond by saying I learned it from you, Dad?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like those old drug PSAs, a pull-ass period, being killed in six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six
[SPEAKER_04]: That's when jumped off the page at me today.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a poll as parents of children, six to 17 years old about their attitudes on kids swearing, 47% of parents say profanity is never okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a big number.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's surprising.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, 35% feel it depends on the situation.
[SPEAKER_04]: 12% think it depends on the word and 6% say, swear words are no big deal.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm it's a mixed bag.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think there's a lot of new ones in this.
[SPEAKER_03]: It has a lot to do with the age of the kid because in eight-year-old is a lot different than like a 13-year-old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[UNKNOWN]: But
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think my kids started with the Falmouth until college.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think once they went to college, that's when they sort of opened up the ability to use it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Julia still doesn't, but me too.
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: But Robert is very open and clear to me with everything he says.
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't censor anything now.
[SPEAKER_04]: So he uses the F word around you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: You think when he's discussing weekend plans, let me see, most parents claim that I've never swears.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh yeah, because the kids don't around them.
[SPEAKER_15]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_15]: But I think, yeah, just teaching yourself growing up to not swear.
[SPEAKER_15]: I think ends up working out better for you professionally.
[SPEAKER_15]: I've been turned off by so many people professionally because they don't know how to manage what's appropriate and what's not.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, we've actually the doing what we do, it helps because you learn how to tow the line without actually saying the word sometimes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I am, I'm, I'm conflicted on this, uh, this topic because I think I play fast and loose with my kid, uh, when he's just with me, like writing the car or something like, but I still call him on it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I said language, language, shush, he knows he's not going to get, you know, grounded.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ground if he uses a bad word, um, do your daughters ever call you and drop the F bomb?
[SPEAKER_04]: My dawn is not so much when they were growing up.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't think of it as you know, my kids got a potty mouth of my long.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure, 12 year old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think that's a, is that a girl boy thing?
[SPEAKER_03]: Cause that's the same.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's an interesting thing.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's a social media.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's a YouTube thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: YouTube thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me see 41% say they're, all these percentages.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, they say their kids are using bad words out of habit.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, what my greatest concern for Michael is that he slips up and he uses it in school.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because that's, you know, I, I, I make, I try to make the distinction, I said, listen, language, don't use that in front of your mother.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't say that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't, when he's ever around to any other people, I come down hard on it.
[SPEAKER_04]: When he's just with me, I probably, uh, am not as much of a task master on that.
[SPEAKER_03]: What about young Michael Mara?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did young Michael Mara ever drop a nasty word in a situation that you instantly knew?
[SPEAKER_04]: How much so did you eat?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was a bit of late.
[SPEAKER_04]: I might have laid a whole bomb at the table about Richard Nixon.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I got the old fam.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's still the president.
[SPEAKER_04]: Boom.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: There should be more of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: there's no filter between me and my father and as a matter of fact one of his favorite words since he's been in care is c-sucker um that we've actually but he says the full word it's totally not that's still pretty good anymore that his wife uses it now because it's become a joke that we you know how's that doctor that c-sucker didn't do any now I just heard the nurses feel about this
[SPEAKER_03]: we don't do it around the nurse.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just heard a throw in.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe we've got the most Victorian member of the cast here that when I did the cuff of the head here is that there should be more of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, uh, you're at a tight tight ship in the aceroca house.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, I'm saying I'm saying he's still the president.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, oh, he's not anymore.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, Nixon's Ted Josh.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me see.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm no longer alive.
[SPEAKER_04]: 27% say it's just the way kids talk these days.
[SPEAKER_04]: There're too many grayers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I don't believe it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think.
[SPEAKER_04]: kids use profanity more based on my son, but I also don't think it's okay.
[SPEAKER_15]: The YouTube shorts with the kid strives to be crazy because there's no filter, the videos that you can use or whatever language.
[SPEAKER_15]: There's no filter from music.
[SPEAKER_15]: It used to be easy to sort.
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, that's explicit.
[SPEAKER_15]: It means a convoy that you can't with the YouTube.
[SPEAKER_15]: So it just floods them with it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And right now I'm wearing them.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm wearing my YouTube shorts.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do the best you can as my advice.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't do the worst you can't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't eliminate it with social if they're going to be if they're going to be if they're not going to put them in a box.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, they're going to hear it.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're going to hear it in school.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're going to see it online.
[SPEAKER_04]: But what you need to do, I still think you should put the hammer down for certain situations and remind them
[SPEAKER_04]: of the fact that, you know, there's a time and a place, you know, and you really have to be careful because what about durings?
[SPEAKER_03]: What about during mass?
[UNKNOWN]: Okay, shut up.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe that would change first the national trail.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, when we annex Canada, maybe that'll change.
[SPEAKER_04]: He is 94.
[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe it's not such a good idea to let him drive.
[SPEAKER_04]: I drive.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, maybe it's a worse idea to let him drive while eating.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, that distracts a lot of people, even not four-year-olds.
[SPEAKER_04]: But this is kind of beyond all of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: William Shatton was spotted driving in LA recently.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was eating.
[SPEAKER_04]: but he was eating and driving while eating a bowl of cereal.
[SPEAKER_15]: Like, we milk?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got the picture right here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Eating bowl of cereal while driving.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's take a look at it.
[SPEAKER_15]: Now does it say, what kind of car?
[SPEAKER_15]: Maybe the car was driving.
[SPEAKER_04]: What a great picture.
[SPEAKER_03]: I need it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm hungry.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cinnamon toast crunch.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look at my bowl.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's an Amazon Amazon Amazon essential.
[SPEAKER_04]: Looks like real hair on the side.
[SPEAKER_04]: Looks like he's still got real hair on the side, which is yeah, you know, I think he went transplant didn't he?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't know he was he wore a rug like in Columbus, but I think he will run way back in if you look at Star Trek.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Star Trek was a rug.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I think it looks more natural now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me see, uh, was he only taking spoonfuls when he stopped?
[SPEAKER_04]: If so, how did he keep from getting soggy?
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've all done it, Chad.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're not cereal.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've eaten cereal.
[SPEAKER_04]: I haven't done cereal.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I've done yogurt.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've done ice cream and yogurt.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I've done ice cream.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've done ice cream.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cake and duck is tough because you have to lay out the pancakes and the onions and the scallops.
[SPEAKER_15]: Taco Bell, Chipotle, way harder to eat than a bowl of cereal.
[SPEAKER_15]: Watch out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Very difficult.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's better for you to go one further.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll do it again today.
[SPEAKER_04]: at a boy my you tell that's as a support for William Shattner absolutely taken Thank you for the first time in 21 years Lebron James has not been named of the starting team for the NBA all star game can imagine that run 21 years uh up to now he'd been selected every year since 2005.
[SPEAKER_04]: his name is French.
[SPEAKER_04]: It means the Bronn.
[SPEAKER_04]: This really isn't a surprise to anyone who pays attention the Bronn.
[SPEAKER_04]: Miss the first 14 games of the Lakers season with sciatica and didn't exactly light the league up on fire when he returned or light the league on fire.
[SPEAKER_03]: The sciatica sounds like something Fred's Hanford would be.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's nice.
[SPEAKER_04]: Last month, his streak of 1,297 consecutive games with at least 10 points came to an end.
[SPEAKER_04]: LeBron can still make the team, though, reserves will be announced on February 1st.
[SPEAKER_04]: 21 consecutive starts in the All-Star game is a record.
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, Karim Abdul Jabar is second with 19.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the late Kobe Bryant is third with 18.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Kobe would have, you know, at that time.
[SPEAKER_03]: But of the three, only Karim was in the movie airplane.
[SPEAKER_03]: So he wins.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's our sports nut right there.
[SPEAKER_04]: A new report says the weight loss drugs.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that you can get it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Dermgoskin.com could save airlines $580 million annually in fuel costs.
[SPEAKER_04]: because you're too fat, because they're up by lightning the weights of passes, but then they can also put in more chairs, make it even tighter.
[SPEAKER_04]: How about seats?
[SPEAKER_03]: The chairs, they're putting chairs.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're folding chairs on their plane on.
[SPEAKER_04]: The beautiful chairs.
[SPEAKER_04]: new analysis from a jeffries research services say drugs uh... the weight loss drugs like to zip a tide and those that people go to those uh... result in a society that is ten percent slimmer and if that happens total passenger weight across flights would fall by about two percent that's all it needs to do that reduction would translate into roughly one point five percent fuel savings for airlines and when you talk about the numbers that's massive
[SPEAKER_03]: The one wasn't united that eliminated like two olives on their first class meal and it saved them like four million dollars a year So like yeah, it's amazing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the only thing more unreliable than Americans losing weight is airlines being on time and not losing your check Luggets which now you pay extra for along with the meals internet and Individual seats so good luck to them, but you know we need more room anyway
[SPEAKER_03]: come on.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike, I think air travel is at an all-time great moment.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's wonderful.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everyone loves everyone does.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have to give the thumbs up again, though, to breeze breeze down here in Florida because had a great experience on them and thumbs up to that airline.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, we can give you a good recommendation once
[SPEAKER_03]: Do they fly into third-good Marshall International Airport?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not sure whether they serve as PWI.
[SPEAKER_04]: They get those little obscure ones, you know?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're in a port Smith New Hampshire, I know about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a prop plane.
[SPEAKER_15]: They go to Norfolk.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's a closer boat to PWI.
[SPEAKER_04]: Remember that's when I started my career, Marilyn.
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember reading about Norfolk, Virginia, and then later on, when I didn't care.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just call it Norfolk.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, go back to a previous episode.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll give you the Norfolk cheer.
[SPEAKER_04]: Finally today, dogs are great at learning action commands like sit and stay and like we all know that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're less good at remembering the names of things like what their squeaky or stuff toys are called only an elite group of gifted word learner dogs can retain the names of hundreds of toys.
[SPEAKER_04]: Scientists know about 50 such pooches, but they aren't sure what's behind their world, uh, their wordy skills.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now new research is pushing the limits of what dogs can do.
[SPEAKER_04]: Scientists already knew that these extraordinary pups could learn the names of their stuffed pizza and donut toys from playtime with their owners.
[SPEAKER_04]: In the latest study, they discovered that the dogs can also understand new names by
[SPEAKER_04]: 10 gifted dogs, including a border collie, brilliant dog.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: The border collie's name was Basket and a laboratory dreamer named Oguy watched their owners hold a new toy and talk to each other, another person about it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Then the dogs were told to go into another room and retrieve that specific toy from a pile of many others.
[SPEAKER_04]: Seven out of the ten dogs successfully learn the names of their new toy, and they were just passively listening to their owners, so they were really using those cognitive skills that they have.
[SPEAKER_04]: Not all dogs pick up things like this, so it's unlikely.
[SPEAKER_04]: Your dog can do it, and do it when you're on the menu.
[SPEAKER_15]: Have you seen the dog that communicate by pressing the buttons?
[SPEAKER_15]: I want to press like a yes button or a no button or an outside button.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, they've got the smarts to do the smarts Just want stubby to learn five words just five that's all.
[SPEAKER_04]: What are the five?
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't you don't the floor?
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_04]: As it learned that one like he knows he knows four.
[SPEAKER_03]: He knows four of the words He knows do us on the floor.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, just not don't yeah, and maybe he knows it doesn't care
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't care at all.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're dogs.
[SPEAKER_04]: Listen to everybody.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've all had one of those nights, laughing until sunrise.
[SPEAKER_04]: Conversations going all night long.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I killed the music.
[SPEAKER_04]: in a white room with black curtains in the station.

[SPEAKER_04]: So bear with me here.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, Carl, no, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't need to talk about that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're still together, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, we are.
[SPEAKER_03]: Good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know people get tired of me talking about football.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, this is the one I'll talk about today because this is this is going to surprise you.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm I'm online and I'm I'm looking at a post that I get quite often when there's a fetching young woman in a fetching photo in fetching attire That's I get a lot of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think a lot of people get that on their feeds.
[SPEAKER_15]: Is it one of those?
[SPEAKER_15]: Are you still here pop-ups.
[SPEAKER_15]: I can't stand for too long.
[SPEAKER_15]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the are you dead could be the are you dead app as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: I am not necessarily a massive fan of the Consuelo's Rippa duo on morning television.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: But they have a daughter who is now 24 years old and her name is Lola and she's getting a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was a showgirl.
[SPEAKER_04]: can't you discipline yourself at all?
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can you?
[SPEAKER_03]: You did an actual lyric quote, Mike.
[SPEAKER_03]: It just happens in my head.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't hold this in my head.
[SPEAKER_04]: Consuelos is getting a lot of bus because she's very attractive and she's got a beautiful figure.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I, I, I, how did I write this down?
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to make sure I get it, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, uh, uh, uh, it's, it concerned, I would like the internet where you could lose your anonymity
[SPEAKER_04]: And I based that on simply looking at a, I think, an Instagram or an ex post that was a photo of Lola in a beautiful, low cut ganshee is a very, very beautiful girl.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she's got a great figure.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she's got a lot of buzz online, like Sidney Sweeney would get.
[SPEAKER_15]: And she's 16.
[SPEAKER_15]: no, she's 24 now.
[SPEAKER_15]: She's 24.
[SPEAKER_15]: I've didn't you know, I just hear what you want me to be charging it again.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're so dry that it fools me.
[SPEAKER_04]: Josh, that was really terrific.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're coming regular now that he's getting me because he's so authoritative with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can see pictures of her a Timothy busfield.com.
[SPEAKER_15]: We're talking about one of them to be anonymous while on the internet looking at some girl.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's coming across a little creepy.
[SPEAKER_04]: I hear here's one.
[SPEAKER_04]: No 24 is fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's in a grown look.
[SPEAKER_03]: And a great television show and a great age for a lady, everything.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will tell you, and meanwhile, the pun machine isn't even engaged in the conversation right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: How do you dare say that?
[SPEAKER_04]: What puns?
[SPEAKER_04]: How many puns can I generate?
[SPEAKER_04]: How many movie quotes can I generate?
[SPEAKER_04]: How about engaging in conversation for a change?
[SPEAKER_04]: How about reacting to what we're talking about and giving us your opinion on certain things?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I do have a question about what we can do.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do what is, yes, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_03]: What does she do that's causing a buzz is she modeling does she host what does she do the photo in question?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, is a Busty low cut photo and she's there.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think in a picture with her boyfriend and then I see another post another photograph and somebody says
[SPEAKER_04]: Weird couple and I looked that's all it was it's like weird couple because the guys not not not a classically good-looking guy and And she's a very unusually Pretty girl and I but I just said
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where we are, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: The anonymity where you just snark to snark.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we've been on the receiving end of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: These are all the photos.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the one in question.
[SPEAKER_04]: Instagram, Rob, she is a singer, apparently.
[SPEAKER_04]: a singer was she on you for you i see a euphoria uh... logo up there i don't think so i don't think so i don't think so i don't recognize her but she's lovely um... here's the thing though i just looked at that as a and we're we get this with comments where people are just super super snarky all the time and i'm i'm like it wouldn't be nice really to do she puts a picture up for her uh... boyfriend's twenty-fifth birthday
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's just a happy 25th, blah, blah, blah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then it's just it goes right down the line of Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark Snark
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, okay, so it's almost like a game don't you think of the hate groups that have commented for decades on this show and previous shows that we've been associated with don't you think if there was
[SPEAKER_04]: that level if they didn't have their silly little names to hide behind that uh you know it's just I sometimes I I wonder about that when somebody look if you're saying something controversial and you're generating heat that way that's a different animal yeah but if you are just putting a little birthday picture of you and your boyfriend and then it's just like oh it looked
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm curious, Mike, and this comes from the chat room from no-deck 701.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think Regis has an opinion on lo-ho-ho?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you'd have to get a shovel.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know you look at it.
[SPEAKER_04]: anybody know I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think Regis was buried or scattered.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he had to have been buried.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't you?
[SPEAKER_04]: I would think so.
[SPEAKER_04]: You you like to think that because it's kind of you take a traditional approach.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, I don't know if you recall Regis, but he was older.
[SPEAKER_15]: He was a traditionalist.
[SPEAKER_15]: He was he was buried in Indiana.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you love Indiana.
[SPEAKER_03]: Indiana.
[SPEAKER_15]: He was very, and at the Cedar Grove cemetery on the surface of the United University of Notre Dame.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's a note of anything because he loved Notre Dame.
[SPEAKER_03]: That makes sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: South Bend.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, hello there.
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh, hi, Reed.
[SPEAKER_14]: Hi, it's Reed just Phil, but I, uh, I'm talking to you from heaven.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's great.
[SPEAKER_14]: I'm so glad you call it time.
[SPEAKER_14]: It's I wanted to go back to it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, first for the Notre Dame football, right?
[SPEAKER_14]: That's that's of course a South Bend where you know, they've re-retired me and they've come to the cemetery.
[SPEAKER_14]: God, the Notre Dame cemetery.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's from the that's where you can see me from the cemetery regions.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you see touchdown Jesus?
[SPEAKER_14]: Touched out Jesus.
[SPEAKER_14]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_14]: Touched the slime.
[SPEAKER_14]: Do you remember?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know I'm asking to go back here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember Pippa?
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh, Pippa.
[SPEAKER_14]: She was something else.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, I made.
[SPEAKER_14]: I take this opportunity if you don't lied to say, uh, congratulations.

[SPEAKER_15]: 31.
[SPEAKER_14]: 31.
[SPEAKER_15]: I can, I want to be a little old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I suppose you're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So here's the point.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, Regen, I know you, oh, and someone gave you an American flag, which I think is great, Regen, on your chest, on, but Pippa's got a daughter with Mark Constead.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you ever meet Mark and Swillers?
[SPEAKER_14]: What a rack.
[SPEAKER_14]: Ha ha ha.

[SPEAKER_04]: This has been a Maryland Maryland Maryland show today.
[SPEAKER_04]: We wanted to talk about PG County.
[SPEAKER_04]: You reminded me that we didn't get to it yesterday.
[SPEAKER_04]: So tell me what you need to talk about today.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, Prince George's county is a suburb of that Washington DC that we all live in and I think that DC has a lot of good things about it, but sometimes we get things that are sort of not quite as good as the original and this is case and point and Josh agrees with me here.
[SPEAKER_03]: What would you say is the hottest thing in Vegas right now and it has been for at least a year maybe.
[SPEAKER_04]: I saw this article this sphere.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, we're getting a sphere in Prince George's cabinet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now that casino near the casino, but it's a little guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike, it is one-third of the size of this video.
[SPEAKER_15]: No, yes, it is.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's, it will see, it will see, it'll see, it'll see, 6000 people.
[SPEAKER_04]: as opposed to eight thousand six hundred eight thousand six hundred polls because of the location you know you're not in a gambling mecca with hotel hotel hotel it's it's it's a numbers game right that's what they say that it will still have the distinct exosphere that defines those the notion of the sphere and I didn't realize that's the same company that's doing it did you know they have one in Abu Dhabi as well they have an Abu Dhabi sphere
[SPEAKER_14]: So this is actually the third last year.
[SPEAKER_14]: Oppo Dobby.
[SPEAKER_14]: I reach.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hi, hi, Rob.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you ever been there?
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, I went there to watch know today and play the Indiana Hoosius.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who did you root for?
[SPEAKER_15]: No.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, he's gone.
[SPEAKER_15]: Based on where natural harbor is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: This is going to cause more accidents on the Woodrow Wilson bridge.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you imagine that that is the most hemmed-up complicated hunk of belt-weighted drive right as it goes from three lanes to three.
[SPEAKER_04]: The rendering that I saw looked as though from the long shot picture that I looked.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: That looked like it's like right on the highway.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly, and it has a big...
[SPEAKER_04]: The Big Harbor is, it has to be.
[SPEAKER_03]: Big, light up things like they have in Las Vegas, like moving graphics.
[SPEAKER_03]: People are going to be driving into the Potomac.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do they see those little spheres?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, they're not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry about it.
[SPEAKER_15]: The National Harbor, do they still have the Big Ferris wheel?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the wheel.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's just called the wheel.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why the wheel?
[SPEAKER_15]: Because I know you can see that from the bridge.
[SPEAKER_15]: Do they still have the Big Cirque de Soleil?
[SPEAKER_15]: 10.
[SPEAKER_15]: thing there.
[SPEAKER_15]: I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_15]: That was 10 that was because all these things are big enough to see from the highway.
[SPEAKER_15]: So if you're going to draw a build a sphere there, it's going to be distracting.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Mike here's the greatest quote from the his name is from no from this is from Governor Westmore.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is such truth right here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maryland has a long history of providing
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, because when you think show biz, what do you think of?
[SPEAKER_03]: Bones, Maryland.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's one of the largest economic projects that Maryland has ever seen.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you have a trivia question about Fort Washington?
[SPEAKER_04]: Would you like to say something?

[SPEAKER_04]: You trip down the memory lane.
[SPEAKER_03]: Josh, what famous, you know, so let me have this individual lived in Fort Washington.
[SPEAKER_03]: Famous radio individual, I would say.

[SPEAKER_04]: No idea.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was on the WJFK power line up.
[SPEAKER_03]: There it is, does.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's so bad.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: If they're saying it's going to be smaller, that's, then that's not accurate, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: That looks like that's not a real error.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: The figure we're referring to Josh is a man who thinks, like you do politically,
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: We surprised if you picked up an episode or two on play.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're doing a lot of impressions today.
[SPEAKER_04]: Gun control is hitting what you aim at.
[SPEAKER_04]: If there is an intruder that you kill in your front lawn, drag him back into the house.
[SPEAKER_04]: A Mr. Liddy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hi, Rob.
[SPEAKER_03]: Remember when you talked about taping, taking the testicles and tying them of wet wine?
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and he also told time in jail, Josh, by watching the ants right Gordon every day They come by at the same time.
[SPEAKER_04]: I Strap myself to a tree in an electrical storm to cure my fear of thunder and lightning
[SPEAKER_03]: So with this tiny sphere, well, it's not tiny, but six thousand is not a really big venue.
[SPEAKER_03]: What's the perfect show to see there?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, I mean, like, I guess it kind of is on par with, there's the mayor of that territory.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now that's a little smaller.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's smaller.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: They just got a roll it in.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike, they've got to build a stand for it and just roll it in and it's good to go.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't go our way from that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it'll be on for the show for that today.

[SPEAKER_14]: But that other malfunction and cooperation known as the United States for better.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so sorry you never got that role.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't you want to equate the super chat with like the offering plate and mass?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you're a Catholic.

[SPEAKER_03]: One person's life touches so many.
[SPEAKER_03]: Even if it's tangential, I mean, you could do something in your professional life that would have effects on famous people years and years from now.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what podcast this is, but I think you'll remember the moment they're discussing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's never cool to heckle a comic on stage.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, I mean some comics rely on it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I mean, if someone is taping their final concert for HBO, don't heckle them.
[SPEAKER_12]: Unfelt said is worse heckle.
[SPEAKER_03]: I clicked a little there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to say that this is he says sign-felt and this is sign-felt's worst heckle.
[SPEAKER_12]: Unfelt said his worst heckle.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's shooting for HBO, this big special.
[SPEAKER_12]: After the show is wrapped.
[SPEAKER_12]: Tell me if it'll last time.
[SPEAKER_12]: Suit on, Beacon Theater walks out in a guy had a blood-curdling stream and goes,
[SPEAKER_12]: Jerry And I knew what he was talking about wow so we got into it because I was like this is funny He goes no no no no that's not on the CD and I go I've heard that it goes you never heard that and I go I saw it live and he was like Maybe heard it, but I doubt it so we got into it about
[SPEAKER_03]: So we got into it with Seinfeld.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because Seinfeld is denying that it happened.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, if I say it's not on the CD, so it didn't happen.
[SPEAKER_04]: We had an intern list, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: What was his crazy radio name, Lewis, the something intern was?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think it was a word we don't use anymore.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, and I don't even remember far as an hour.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, like really yeah, yeah, really I think so no
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't think so.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I remember.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was a piece of work.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll tell that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that was painful.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Rob, you might get hurt for all the interns.
[SPEAKER_03]: Next, stop it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike, they're actually, I think it's, I get partial credit.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you look what Barrister 8 wrote in the chat room, that's right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So partial bad.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, but anyway, that was, uh, yeah, that was, I remember we got a matrix to the theater.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was a great prank.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've ever had.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, an aired live on HBO and then it was gone.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's done in Mike Jerry.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, mentioning our names, just to make it lead get our names on a sign-filled special.
[SPEAKER_04]: But isn't we were given sign-filled a lot of hard times?
[SPEAKER_03]: But isn't it marvelous that now it is remembered by other comics and that sign felt as denying that I love that that's fantastic I really want to point one more.
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's go back to the front here.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's two young comics here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yo, this big special after the show is wrapped Telling you for the last time Suit on beacon theater walks out in a guy had a blood-curdling scream and goes
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't understand yourself.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was like horrific, banshy scream.
[SPEAKER_11]: Cherry!
[UNKNOWN]: Cherry!
[SPEAKER_12]: And I knew what he was talking about.
[SPEAKER_12]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_12]: So we got into it because I was like, I remember that he goes, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's not on the CD and I go, I've heard that.
[SPEAKER_12]: He goes, you never heard that.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I go, I saw it live and he was like, maybe he heard it, but I doubt it.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's that and we orchestrated that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Ra Ra, yay for us are only we used to nakedly try to a game fame anyway We possibly I assume you had it the next day the play on the yeah, yeah, of course We only played it about 5,000 times
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't remember it, but no, of course I do.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've complained for a long time about Chick-fil-A, Mike, because they ruin every parking lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: They go to sometimes they even ruin neighborhoods, because there's too many people that want that piece of chicken with a pickle on it.
[SPEAKER_03]: But this is a new low.
[SPEAKER_03]: Check out this receipt.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'm late to the party, but what is a public improvement fee from Chick-fil-A?
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that, Chick-fil-A?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, much.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I bet that's like, county thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have that here.
[SPEAKER_15]: $2 an order.
[SPEAKER_15]: $2.
[SPEAKER_15]: So watch your Chick-fil-A receipts.
[SPEAKER_15]: We have that here.
[SPEAKER_15]: I bet it's every place she goes to in that county.
[SPEAKER_15]: Because we have it here.
[SPEAKER_15]: If I drive to the Walmart in my county, it costs more than if I drive to the next county and go to Walmart because there's a public improvement fee that they tackle on.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't care for that.
[SPEAKER_03]: My public improvement free would be to get rid of Chick-fil-A.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, it's like a local tax.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, isn't that what sales tax is?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_04]: What does that deal?
[SPEAKER_15]: The deal is that sales tax goes to the state and the county wants some money.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's like a county.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's a lot of money to two bucks an order.
[SPEAKER_03]: Think of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a lot of cash.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that buys, that buys a lot of pickles.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike, let's close with this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's say you're married to a lawyer.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess all of us could say it, but none of us would be truthful in saying it.
[SPEAKER_03]: But she's having trouble finding work.
[SPEAKER_03]: your job because you're shouldering all of the the burden of the household.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're a YouTube influencer.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you write a song about your wife.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love this and I love the fact that this song actually got her some work.
[SPEAKER_09]: The wife is an attorney.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's a lot smarter than me.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's a
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me tell her experience.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's on appeals, vehicular, animal cruelty and SVU, I swear to God, if you hire her, she'll be a great addition to your crew.
[SPEAKER_09]: Somebody hire my wife.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's catchy.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's worked government and private.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's got a real great mindset.
[SPEAKER_03]: And my hate, I love it, and I wouldn't be doing my job today is national one-liner day.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know a lot of comics do one-liners, but the one who is most associated with one-liners is Henny Youngman long-dead, long-dead, long-dead, but let's see if we can get through maybe three of these.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I've got a brother-in-law and middle-aged character, still chases women, forgets what for.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got enough of 79 years old, he's going with a 20-year-old girl.
[SPEAKER_08]: He went to the doctor, he said, Doc, I want to marry a 20-year-old girl.
[SPEAKER_08]: The doctor said, this can be fatal.
[SPEAKER_08]: He says, well, she does.
[SPEAKER_08]: She does.
[SPEAKER_08]: One more.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to took a little boy to Psychiatrist.
[SPEAKER_08]: She has, can a boy 10 years-old marry a beautiful star like Liz Taylor, the Psychiatrist, of course, that is impossible.
[SPEAKER_08]: The mother says to the kids, see what I told you, go get a divorce.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like that, it's a beautiful video.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: Clean, unfunny humor.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, come on.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: My father hired him.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you know that?
[SPEAKER_03]: Henny would work for anybody.
[SPEAKER_03]: He would sometimes stop by like an event and if there was a bar midsville in the same hotel he'd go in and do ten minutes for a hundred dollars.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it's always working.
[SPEAKER_03]: Always working.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_04]: We got to get out of here.
[SPEAKER_04]: We will be back tomorrow with a brand new episode.
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to thank Dan Rodricks, the play.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
