[SPEAKER_09]: It's the season from the air of LeBurn and Shirley.
[SPEAKER_09]: Michael Marra, radio entertainment.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can listen to the Michael Marra Show at michomerasho.com.
[SPEAKER_09]: Wow, what a happy year.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a podcast.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I want to excitement.
[SPEAKER_05]: We have today.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's the Michael Marra Show with Michael Marra and Rob Spuac.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now here's Mike.
[SPEAKER_11]: that is a lovely little ended together of some of the music that I've been sharing with Josh and I was so ready for that I was really thinking I really that one you know for that's like a rock opera right there that you know that is that's an album cut
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it's rock opera mixed with a little country-fied stuff and, you know, and that's just motivates me when he takes what I give him.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it just makes this, it just makes me want to, you know, create more.
[SPEAKER_10]: You are the George, you are the George Martin of the show.
[SPEAKER_10]: Is that the producer of the Beatles?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, and he would do stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_10]: He cut stuff together and make stuff that doesn't make sense.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, so he's the George Martin.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was looking at Josh, you couldn't tell.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, and you are the John Lennon.
[SPEAKER_11]: The writer music musician creator, even though that's really AI that's doing that for me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Welcome to the Mike Comerio show.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, I like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: They gave me a little smile for him.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm Stu, so I choose to say what's who's Stu said Cliff.
[SPEAKER_10]: The guy left the band before they hit it big.
[SPEAKER_11]: I thought it was peed best that left.
[SPEAKER_10]: Peed best was replaced by Ringo, but Stu Sutcliffe was an art student friend of John's.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he just had nothing to do with it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I never, by the way, reminds me we will have Tony Perkins on the show.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, that's true.
[SPEAKER_11]: key of the anchor man for the NBC affiliate in Washington, DC and also a classmate of mine back in the 1800s when we went to class together.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now a podcaster who has brought the podcast back to life and the podcast is called a you better think twice.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's exactly right.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's starring Gary Stein.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, it'll be like, it's, you got to be kidding me.
[SPEAKER_10]: You got to be kidding me.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, I know you have fun with that.
[SPEAKER_11]: You got to be kidding me.
[SPEAKER_11]: You, you got to be kidding me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, you, I got to be certain we taped with Tony yesterday and a biggest Tony does a morning thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Is he morning?
[SPEAKER_11]: Is he a morning anchor?
[SPEAKER_10]: Is that he goes up?
[SPEAKER_10]: He does a 5 a.m. up to six a.m. up until the today show and then he does the cutaways from the today show.
[SPEAKER_11]: The funny thing is if you went and looked, if you went and looked, if you got fixing, if you were fixing to go and look at Tony's career over the last
[SPEAKER_11]: I guess we could use 20 years.
[SPEAKER_11]: You could take 20 years of his career on television and put every different incarnation of what he's done and it changes more than any broadcaster maybe working today between the time slots and the station changes and the network and this and the local versus the national.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, every if it's gone kind of goofy.
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh, a favorite era of Tony.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I do clearly right back and I go it goes way before you were aware of it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was Tony Tony doing stand up.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it was very funny.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was actually quite funny and he worked with me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Tony goes back not only to American University back in the early 80s, but he goes back to me with the WRI.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know I hired him down at WRI to do some DJ work down there.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I think
[SPEAKER_10]: he was the funniest silly anchor in the morning when they let him on channel 5 that was my favorite era of Tony when he was he had left weather and he started doing anchor and he would mess around with a Tucker the weather guy and there was just so much silliness on that show but they still got to the news I thought that was great but he's never he's never been not great he does exactly what he does perfectly so we're talking great soon overused where Mike
[SPEAKER_11]: I understand.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he'll join us later on in the show today.
[SPEAKER_11]: The question that I have at the top of my mind today, my faltering mind is, is forgetfulness contagious because
[SPEAKER_11]: I am very, now that I'm north of elderly, I have to thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you become more aware of it during birth day season, don't you not?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I become more aware of it when I will do something like I did last night, where I will be putting dishes away.
[SPEAKER_11]: And by the way, lovely meal prepared by Mrs. O'Marrow last night, we'll family sit down at Dendin, which we don't get to do as much as we'd like.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was just a regular steak and a homemade Caesar salad and it was absolutely yummy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you get kicked out of the cooking duties after last
[SPEAKER_11]: I contributed by the easiest way that I will cook a steak ever is to throw Mrs. Omaras and mine into the broiler and then Michael Pan-Fried his on the stove the stove which will come into play as well later in the broadcast actually right now I'll tell you about the stove, but I but as I'm putting stuff away, I'll have something in my hand
[SPEAKER_11]: That has no business being on even the side of the kitchen I am on and I'm going deliberately over to the location to put it away and then I'll look at it and I'll say what are you doing and then I say to myself this is the I'll pause in my own mind and I'll say this is the beginning.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is it.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is when it starts to to wake out and you start to, you know, fade.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then many, many times Robin I for as long as I can remember doing this show, and we've been doing this show well over a decade, where I will say, who's that guy thinking, because I've forgotten it and rock doesn't do anything, but the same thing is I can't remember it either, even though this
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So the two questions are, you know, should I be concerned about these little things?
[SPEAKER_11]: And I just would love to at some point get a specialist on gerontology, is that what it's called the study of the age and about, you know, much of what your science is, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, for the dad.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really would like to know the countdown doctor.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd like to know what our, you know, the internet is filled with warning signs, but more importantly, the internet is filled with methods of preserving your brain and you know, they sell prevision and do all that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Let me offer this, Mike.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, it started for me about five years ago, one evening, I couldn't find the remote control and I looked for probably 20 minutes and it was
[SPEAKER_10]: I'd put it in the pocket of my hoodie, so I wouldn't forget where it was, then that was followed by looking for my glasses when they're up here and looking around the entire house for my glasses when I'm literally wearing them.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I should point out that you are a full decade younger than I am.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's true, but it's starting to participate in this discussion is not, but I have a third
[SPEAKER_10]: and it killed him.
[SPEAKER_11]: Are you saying you're not a believer in that problem?
[SPEAKER_10]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_10]: To be perfectly honest, that was just a joke.
[SPEAKER_10]: My father took, I don't, I've heard snake oil.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, my father believed in provision.
[SPEAKER_10]: He did.
[SPEAKER_10]: He took it and he said it helped his memory.
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... Louis black does a bit if you could find well we can do it on the boner show louis black on prevision which is just funny is how any you know if we probably have to add it what do you know a bit of a due to an on-to-date this is something that uh... carry bought and i'm kind of into it in the morning it's just self-rewarder
[SPEAKER_10]: But it's like you.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ice-cold bubbly water is not good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Josh, we have to applaud our guy here, my goodness.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's a step in the right direction.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now the problem, you have no idea how that makes me feel.
[SPEAKER_11]: It thrills me that you're doing that as opposed to, well, I've got this too, but I just haven't opened it yet.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've got my cup of tea.
[SPEAKER_10]: Because you pay money for it, Mike.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but it's also killing you.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can't do that.
[SPEAKER_10]: But you know what?
[SPEAKER_10]: Baby steps.
[SPEAKER_11]: Help me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, well, I'm.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, you're you're sucking on a seltzer right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I uh, because I'm loyal.
[SPEAKER_11]: Are they no longer with this liquid.
[SPEAKER_11]: I've here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Are they still going to be coming?
[SPEAKER_10]: No, they're very, very present.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're present.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: He didn't answer the guy that does the bad buys is didn't answer what what's the deal.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't like that face.
[SPEAKER_11]: I haven't seen a check from them in a while.
[SPEAKER_11]: But there's no reason that you're not involved in this.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, Mike, I do write the copy.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm in on this.
[SPEAKER_11]: But you might not think that when it comes to the dollars, you're not.
[SPEAKER_11]: You don't know whether he knows whether they're participants.
[SPEAKER_02]: They come and go.
[SPEAKER_02]: uh, whether they're leaning in podcasts or suddenly happy with Costco sales.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got all of the check on them to see where that little little nudge.
[SPEAKER_11]: Maybe a little reminder.
[SPEAKER_11]: One of my favorites.
[SPEAKER_11]: You might want to say that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look at that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Maybe send this tape home.
[SPEAKER_11]: I look what I'd be.
[SPEAKER_11]: Love you.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mike, the problem with privilege and my father had is he never remembered to take it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know whether it's snake oil or not.
[SPEAKER_11]: I really don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was so funny, not funny, but just the way it was when my father passed and Kathy and I, we're cleaning out all of my father's effects.
[SPEAKER_10]: And he was Pills left to write all day.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the president came up and I asked her about it.
[SPEAKER_10]: I said, I didn't know he was taken.
[SPEAKER_10]: He said, he loved it.
[SPEAKER_10]: He really thought it made a difference.
[SPEAKER_10]: So maybe you should try it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Isn't that the whole thing?
[SPEAKER_11]: with he really thought it made a difference and you know what I mean who knows maybe he forgot about all the things he isn't that the best product to have in the world a product where who can really tell I mean really it's no scientific American advertising since the 1950s has come up with medical studies that are
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, prove it, line them all up, shoulder to shoulder across the nation and find out, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the part of a balanced breakfast at the part of a balanced breakfast.
[SPEAKER_02]: This year, it's got nothing to do with the balanced part.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I always focused on the orange juice.
[SPEAKER_11]: By the way, I got a, you know, I was talking about sugar yesterday and man, oh, man, hopped on the scale today, that two pounds, I was so happy about dropping last week.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right back to Roost.
[SPEAKER_11]: Mr. Ice Cream, Captain Lardass Ice Cream, so fast.
[SPEAKER_10]: Fast, fast, weight gain goes away fast, if you stop in your tracks and just get back up.
[SPEAKER_11]: It just, you know, I didn't expect it, but I, I shouldn't be surprised at all, you know.
[SPEAKER_11]: Go into morning, you'll lose weight.
[SPEAKER_11]: going to morning.
[SPEAKER_11]: Have you lost a lot of weights and said you've been grieving?
[SPEAKER_11]: Probably about 10 pounds.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll say you look good and you're in your color.
[SPEAKER_11]: Your color looks very good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Not so good down when you were dealing with all that crap.
[SPEAKER_10]: So, oh, I was sort of sad.
[SPEAKER_11]: That said, well, you know, I mean, I was also, I don't think there was, I really don't think there was a paler man in Miami.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you, I think that was, yeah, it was also a bad camera, most of the time.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was, you know, it was only towards the end of it that I was actually like going outside and enjoying my amy for what it is, the sun and fun capital of the world, and then I did get a little color, but, you know, when you hear anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: So like your your whole breathing thing you're feeling better.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're coming back out of it and you know, you look good You look really good today.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm very happy that you're helping keep drinking this ulcer.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think that's something to do with it as well You're gonna say something John and the prankai this medicine
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, I think.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, the stairway to all this amount of control help for me, the annual physical is coming up.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it is my effing doctor's office.
[SPEAKER_11]: They just say, check in for your appointment and I, you know, sometimes I'm going to go into Costco for your medical work.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I'm going to my guy Jason and, you know, Jason, please Jason, Jason, Jason, you're
[SPEAKER_11]: This is, that's what I was, that was it, but hello who's on the line?
[SPEAKER_11]: Jason, this is easy.
[SPEAKER_10]: Six months with us, that's what he brought to the show.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have been to my family doctor's office where I've walked in and I've said something like, ready for the physical.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, it's not that it's whatever this we wanted to check this.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jeff, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I, but I'm not going to call because then I get into the call center and I don't want to deal with that at all.
[SPEAKER_11]: So Thursday 2 p.m. Thursday afternoon, I'll be ready to go.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then, you know, probably take a show right after that.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's awesome.
[SPEAKER_10]: They make sure they don't turn you into bone marrow broth.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's, you know, that's a trend right now.
[SPEAKER_10]: You don't want them to bully you down.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't, I, I do know what he's talking about.
[SPEAKER_10]: when you go in saying the broth is a thing that people like drink when they're fast well bone broth has been around for a couple of years I don't know why he's turning puttin' you in this because when you said you go in and you don't know what they're going to do I'm just saying you know be aware of yourself be your own advocate don't want to play I just want you to do I don't like dealing with it you know there's stuff that I that I stay current with and stuff I don't stay current with
[SPEAKER_11]: the uh, those down here, you have to be very aware of the sun and the sun exposure.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I probably should could be a little more.
[SPEAKER_10]: I thought you were talking about Michael.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, he has to be aware of the story.
[SPEAKER_11]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hopefully he gets his cover baseball game in tonight.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, sir.
[SPEAKER_11]: What's going on?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, you got to cover him up when he's out in the sun.
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, getting back was referring to him as the sun, though.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've really.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, getting back to dinner last night, um, we have, I've talked to many times about this home that was occupied by two, uh, I believe elderly people before we moved into it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now it's got another elderly person in it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the appliances, the house has been great.
[SPEAKER_11]: The bones of the house, you've been here, both you've been here, the bones of the house super solid.
[SPEAKER_11]: Really solid.
[SPEAKER_11]: Everything seems to be plumb and well built.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you were going through the issues with the home right now, I would say if somebody dropped a, you know, a new set of windows in the windows, I wouldn't be upset about it to be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_10]: That, you know, but that's any house.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the appliances, however, really pretty much the only two left.
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... from the original batch from the original batch uh... got a little trash compactor that uh... i think is way way over price so i'm not that i'm gonna keep that that's such a throwback that's such a throwback to the nineteen seventies i trash compacted i think you can buy one now you can buy one now to actually still make this one but we keep it
[SPEAKER_11]: because it actually is a nice thing to have and we use it and you know it it doesn't it doesn't require a lot of maintenance but it's definitely long in the tooth when I see that and this was this house was 2006 so it wouldn't be it would have been put in new at that particular time so this house has been two different Trump administrations it has yeah absolutely sadly it's hard and is it a general electric
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm not sure.
[SPEAKER_10]: I remember our trash might be there when we had the world smallest kitchen.
[SPEAKER_10]: The kitchen was the size of a good like desk.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's how big the kitchen was.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we had a trash compactor that was an aftermarket.
[SPEAKER_10]: we just set it down and used it.
[SPEAKER_10]: It wasn't built in.
[SPEAKER_10]: So we lost more floor space.
[SPEAKER_10]: But it served as like a countertop.
[SPEAKER_10]: But it was what I remember and I was a kid is that it took the trash and just made it too heavy.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was really hard to change the bag.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's how heavy it gets if it just compact.
[SPEAKER_11]: It doesn't.
[SPEAKER_11]: I I've been using this for 10 years and almost 10 years.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: The other are you keeping it in case one of the dogs needs to have an accident.
[SPEAKER_10]: be a great murderer.
[SPEAKER_10]: When you talk about, you know, you talk about getting a gun on healthy.
[SPEAKER_11]: I like it when you're when you're not.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that's what makes the show go so water.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, but I mean, what is it a stimulant or something like that?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm totally it.
[SPEAKER_11]: All I'm just saying is Mike, and I'm trying to get to my did my destroyed appliance here.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, all times you have mentioned that you want to get rid of one or both of your dogs.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I'm thinking your compact or accident would be an excellent way to, okay, you know, so I don't know what happened.
[SPEAKER_11]: You see, you just use about 500 more words than you needed that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It basically put the dog in the trash camper and kill it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right?
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_10]: But that's if you want to be very, very, very, you know, I like to keep it big.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you got to the door open, so you can say it might have ran out more run out.
[SPEAKER_11]: So here's the thing, I got a cooktop.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they still sell these, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the cooktop is a GE, and I think their high-end line is called profile.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's GE profile.
[SPEAKER_11]: I look at the profile.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: Electric or gas?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Natural gas.
[SPEAKER_10]: I look at it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have this, and it's been...
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, cook tops, I think, probably age quicker than other appliances because they're so used.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you use them all at the time.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, but the technology is ancient and simple.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is simple.
[SPEAKER_11]: But it's that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Do you have an exhaust hood above it?
[SPEAKER_10]: Or do you have your exhaust in the cooker?
[SPEAKER_11]: We have a down draft exhaust and explain that.
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... you turn a fan on that we never use right and it goes down into the uh... cabinetry in just event that way we are going to be let me get to the the whole thing i this thing is been uh... used for a long long time and it's it's had it's best day uh... but nothing's now functioning on it so we keep using it and why why change it and then uh... one of the burners
[SPEAKER_11]: stops turning.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I, you know, I, it doesn't play.
[SPEAKER_11]: It doesn't push down.
[SPEAKER_11]: It doesn't come up.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm cleaning when I find this out.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm cleaning it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm doing a deep dive.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I've been, you know, I have been adjusting this fiddling with it, monking around with it for a very, very long time.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I, I'm just, I'll let it go, because we got three other burners that work.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then I'll get back to it when I'm cleaning it again.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm like, eh, but it's
[SPEAKER_11]: So frustrating, you want your partner, you want your partner, you want your partner, and so it's something to do with the, when you put gas on, you press down on the dial and then turn it and then kick, boom, and it, uh, there's lights.
[SPEAKER_10]: Most designs every burner will click when it's in the light mode, but only the gas flows from the one you're turning on.
[SPEAKER_11]: So that's only because you're pushing that release down.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, this is not working, this is not working, this is not working, and I've got three-in-one oil.
[SPEAKER_11]: I've got different types of lubricants that I'm trying to put down.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm doing deep cleans with a screwdriver to see if there's anything that got frozen in there or it's like a gribbly that I need to get out of there, and I'm going on and on and on.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then I get pliers to see if I can pull it and push it with pliers.
[SPEAKER_10]: like sending as you do this or are you not really really I just because that's what we've solved in break kind of realizing I probably should get a new one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, all your work on the knob or also the burner.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm using the the knob because the burner has nothing to do with it.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is the control knob that is frozen solid and will not work and I'm back.
[SPEAKER_11]: So
[SPEAKER_11]: I said, hmm, I wonder if I was to loosen this by just tap tap tap with the not a hammer, but with a handle of a wrench, a, you know, you get the pliers and then you get the wrench that first gets.
[SPEAKER_10]: First Josh, he lights some candles.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, then you start tapping the gas on and I turn the gas on and no, I'm trying to tap this thing just to I feel like it has to be freed up You know to see what's gonna happen with it and so so I tap tap tap
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, that did not happen.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, it's not turning.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not pushing up and down.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not doing anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's toast.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm I'm I'm taking pliers and I'm kind of narrowing the little tube to see if that'll change something.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's got a little a little pan underneath it.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's the thing that goes up and down.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I take this wrench.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the wrench has a relatively heavy, it's not a full-fledge plumbers wrench, but it's got, you know, it's a regular wrench that you dialed close to the wrench.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to keep it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I want to keep it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Press it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the crescent wrench has a pretty heavy handle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said, let me just give it a little tap.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I go tap.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the, I think, I guess it's either ceramic or maybe glass or whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: On the cooktop goes,
[SPEAKER_11]: oh no and and then it's still it's still working but it looks great it all looks real well it's all black and uh... and it's it's okay but it no you want to you don't want to keep it i went with side was in a similar situation is that for some reason the wiring got crossed and every time the
[SPEAKER_10]: clicker worked to, you know, light, uh, the fuse would blow.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I had to leave the fuse off and for probably a year we used a lighter, you know, like a grill lighter to turn on the gas and light it.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I finally got sick of it.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I went to frigid air, who is my favorite company right now.
[SPEAKER_10]: And what happened is we also had the center down draft fan that we didn't use.
[SPEAKER_10]: They make frigid air makes a five burner gas stove where you just totally eliminate the fan.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the middle burner is huge.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's probably twice as powerful.
[SPEAKER_11]: Really glad you mentioned that.
[SPEAKER_10]: OK, good, good, good, good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Was because I, uh, it was time.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was time.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's like a Bruce Buffer.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's time.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I'm a, uh, and I, uh, out to the box door.
[SPEAKER_11]: She has a, some sort of cardee wardie for the big, uh, uh, box door, uh, promotion where she's got a card.
[SPEAKER_11]: She can use it.
[SPEAKER_11]: See, there are a gift certificate or it's a credit or whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: But she's got this thing in cash.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we we roll out to the box door and we have purchased not a we have not put what's the one you like so bad for you there we have purchased I believe it is a kitchen aid where you could all it's a good brand.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's good.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look at me.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's exciting.
[SPEAKER_11]: I wasn't know anything about it, but he's a legendary is legend.
[SPEAKER_10]: Think of the kitchen.
[SPEAKER_10]: For their mixers.
[SPEAKER_10]: But they're not going to put their name on something shabby.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I was never enamored of the GE products.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, GE at their, well, GE will always have the mantle of being contractor grade appliances.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, fill a kitchen.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, build a house.
[SPEAKER_10]: Good.
[SPEAKER_10]: good now you can upgrade on GE but I've always been a little bit suspicious because I think you're probably getting largely the same guts just in a fancier presentation and they'll tell you oh but the new GE dishwasher is quieter I said well but does it not break it's very quiet that's all they'll lean on so yeah I'm not I don't necessarily like GE that much.
[SPEAKER_11]: So this guy at the the the box store says first of all we're there and he said well how big is it I said well it's like 30 by 21 22 which is the You know the standard size it's either 36 or it's 30 and we don't have a giant out so it's a 90
[SPEAKER_11]: And so, so the guy says to me, all right, well, just so you know, I said, now you do the installation, how much is that and he gives me the number for that and he says, and they'll also take the old one away, however, and I'm like, okay, here we go, because he's
[SPEAKER_11]: The reason he's not selling astin martins and the reason he's working in lows is because he doesn't have.
[SPEAKER_11]: He couldn't pull a real sale out of his ass.
[SPEAKER_11]: We've already just signed it on this product.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so he says for the first time, he said, now just be aware if the area on the countertop,
[SPEAKER_11]: isn't matched to it.
[SPEAKER_11]: He does not cut out the extra space.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said, okay, well, I'm pretty sure they're pretty universal.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't think that's going to be a problem.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a little overhang.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sure there's some play in many says.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, why are you shaking your head?
[SPEAKER_11]: Now you're making me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because now you're telling me you didn't measure before going to the box store.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you met you 30.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, then you're gonna go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's right.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're inston.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let me finish what I'm telling you the story here, all right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's 30 by 21, 22.
[SPEAKER_11]: Roughly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_11]: They all say 30 by 21.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's it and so I think it's either they all say either 30 by 21 of 30 by 20.
[SPEAKER_11]: I forgot which number it was so he says Spearware if it's not the right fit he doesn't cut granted away He doesn't cut the countertop away right then I am he says it once while we're standing there Let me see if we've got it in stock and he goes for everything is
[SPEAKER_11]: It just, you know, you stupid ass.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know you probably don't get, you know, you don't get commission.
[SPEAKER_11]: But, you know, can you just make a, can you make it a little more positive, please?
[SPEAKER_10]: When I was in sales, satisfaction was my commission.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: The guy says, then we come, he comes back, goes, all right, we have an Instock.
[SPEAKER_11]: It should be seven to 10 days.
[SPEAKER_11]: You get a call from one of our installers.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, listen, remember, if it's not the perfect,
[SPEAKER_11]: you said that before.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said you said if it's not the right size, we have to get somebody to come out and cut that out.
[SPEAKER_11]: Then we said, okay, so we've got it.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, we're looking at Carla says that work for you.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said it works for me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's let's get this one.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then she gets up to the counter at the counter before you start doing any of the math about what this guy says.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, just be aware.
[SPEAKER_11]: I said of the space.
[SPEAKER_11]: They don't cut it away any smiles.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he said it two more times before the day.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is a guy who obviously got his balls in the rain.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's happened once before because it happened to him.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now I am fully aware that they could bring this thing out.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it might not be the perfect fit because it's a different brand.
[SPEAKER_11]: But they, you know, with the waiting game begins now and Rob, you'll be happy to know we are eliminating the down draft.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll probably have to seal it off.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely dead.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then we are going to have the fifth burner smack in the middle of that will change your life now tell me why I'm so great my life because if you just need to bring a pot of water to boil say you're having corn on the cob or noodles or something like that it cuts like any car
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Go ahead.
[SPEAKER_11]: Go ahead.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't get distracted.
[SPEAKER_10]: It will boil.
[SPEAKER_10]: It will boil twice as fast because you got that many more BTUs coming up.
[SPEAKER_10]: Now, do you have, um, does it have like a raised grade or do you sit it right on the, uh, I guess you sit it right on the, you sit it pretty much flush to the counter.
[SPEAKER_10]: one thing and you've mocked me about this before, but one thing that I love is that because it is five burners all of the grade where the grill that holds the pot is at the same level so you can slide pots around without having to pick them up and you know if a big hot poiling pot of water and not the kind of thing you want to just grab and pick up.
[SPEAKER_11]: Perfect for people with now that I have a 30% diminished capacity of my left arm.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, what Mike I do is I boil water and I wash match mass for shuttons, but it's you You laugh, but it's good.
[SPEAKER_10]: It doesn't have an optional push in the boiling Mike, did you know that a pot will weigh you know two pounds a gallon of water is eight and a half pounds That's ten pounds of searing.
[SPEAKER_11]: What do you take this morning?
[SPEAKER_11]: What is wrong with you this morning?
[SPEAKER_11]: What men's are you on?
[SPEAKER_11]: I said you like good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm more the same than I've ever been God, like my curl in champion with your pots slide in the right
[SPEAKER_10]: It's just nice details, all right.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have to break.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have to break now.

[SPEAKER_11]: U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that he is not at all concerned about committing possible war crimes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's bridges and power plant day.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is clock tonight.
[SPEAKER_11]: The deadline.
[SPEAKER_11]: He continues to threaten the destruction of Iran's bridges and power plants if they don't meet his Tuesday, calm down, close the mouth.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm just going to read the story, please.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: At APM, the deadline tonight to reopen the strike of Hormuz.
[SPEAKER_11]: Speaking to reporters at the White House, the president refused to say whether any civilian targets would be off limits.
[SPEAKER_11]: Iran on Monday rejected a 45 day ceasefire proposal and said it wants a permanent end to the war.
[SPEAKER_11]: Iran state run a IR and a news agency said, Tehran conveyed its response through Pakistan, a key mediator.
[SPEAKER_11]: And here's the quote, we only accept an end of the war.
[SPEAKER_11]: with guarantees that we won't be attacked again.
[SPEAKER_10]: So there it is and it is the greatest night of television though, because you have wheel, jeopardy, and then is power plant and bridges day.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's the deadline at eight and it's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_10]: So get the kids, get ready, pop some popcorn.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's unhinged.
[SPEAKER_11]: He is unhinged.
[SPEAKER_11]: I am worried.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm worried for every
[SPEAKER_11]: why why do you say that for for what reason do you say that because it's like because you know why because they're not attacking Leesburg that's no and they're not attacking food either, but what you can do aware of the world events here, you know, I'm aware of it But you know what this is
[SPEAKER_10]: If you worry and you drive yourself nuts, I'm not still going to happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, but take out that Woodrow Wilson bridge and then you'll care.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he'll care.
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll care if it's in his backyard.
[SPEAKER_10]: We are all because we know it's on my side, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: We are all complacent about this.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is, this is the war nobody gives to S is about and that's the thing that concerns me, I think.
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time we have as news coverage completely forgotten, there's another war going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is the Ukraine Russia war?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, Russia had, Russia had the same exact response to a ceasefire.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, we just wanted to end.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now it's still going on.
[SPEAKER_11]: still going on and on and on so I don't know but I don't like the uh there was a list of how many changes he's made in statements to the press where he comes out without any briefing and without any consistent response and uh look I don't know it just and and believe it or not
[SPEAKER_11]: I am concerned about one thing, a civilian loss of life.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't care if it's Iran.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's the Iranian people that hate their leaders, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll wait and see, but we don't need this, man.
[SPEAKER_11]: We don't need this tension in our lives.
[SPEAKER_11]: We don't need this arbitrary deadlines in meanwhile, China, and Russia, kind of sitting back and going, OK?
[SPEAKER_11]: We're waiting.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're going to see what's going to happen here.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's just a it freaks my ass out.
[SPEAKER_11]: It really does.
[SPEAKER_11]: So wait and see what happens.
[SPEAKER_11]: We finally know who will take Stephen Colbert's time slot after the late show airs.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's finale on May 21st and this fascinates me.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't this is an SMH moment.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just comics unleashed.
[SPEAKER_11]: with the very unknown Byron Allen.
[SPEAKER_10]: Is this the same byron Allen we're talking about?
[SPEAKER_10]: Mike, let me offer you this.
[SPEAKER_10]: Byron Allen was probably at his most visible when he was a co-contributor to the show, real people in the like 1980.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that's been around forever.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, but he came out of the spotlight and started buying TV.
[SPEAKER_10]: and made a fortune.
[SPEAKER_10]: He created an idea of giving his programming away for free and getting 50% of the ad revenue from whoever got his programming.
[SPEAKER_10]: Use that money to create high definition that works like pet TV.
[SPEAKER_10]: Do you know what his value is right now?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I don't.
[SPEAKER_10]: One with a B $1 billion.
[SPEAKER_11]: he is actually as Rob said he is paying CBS for the time slot and he's paying for the following hour as well to air his comedy game show funny you should ask that's on love it's on it
[SPEAKER_11]: He said, now when they say, you know, comics, unleashed with Byron Allen, he will be on the television show, correct?
[SPEAKER_10]: I think he'll be hosting stand-up.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's like he'll do the wraparounds for stand-ups.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the other one is a proper game show.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here's his quote.
[SPEAKER_11]: I created and launched comics on least 20 years ago, so my fellow comedians could have a platform to do what we all love, make people laugh.
[SPEAKER_11]: I truly appreciate CBS's confidence in me by picking up our two-hour comedy, but will you ping?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thank you for accepting my offers.
[SPEAKER_10]: What do you say?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because the world can never have enough laughter.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's a great deal for CBS and I'm glad it's something different.
[SPEAKER_02]: and not the late night format that's not working.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: The way it's shot, it's Stephen Colbert, just none of the late night shows work anymore.
[SPEAKER_10]: I haven't watched CBS late night.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't watch late night anymore at all, but I certainly haven't watched CBS, so this doesn't affect me whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's tough when you just watch Jimmy Fallon every night.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love Jimmy Fallon, God he's funny.
[SPEAKER_10]: Funny.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, I wish I could defend Stephen Colbert, but I can't, sorry.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I can't either.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just, it was never my, my bag, man.
[SPEAKER_11]: Weight loss drugs, like OZEMPIC MANGARO and Mugovie, can free some people of pounds, and it can also free them of their toxic marriage.
[SPEAKER_11]: According to new research, people who undergo rapid weight loss,
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... the study focused on people who had been fitted with gastric bans but the idea is that it could extend to the rise in glp one drugs these are the people trying to slam the glp one yet the study didn't even involve the glp ones which i've been on in the very success i mean this also goes back to when they say uh... beware of the woman gets plastic surgery she's looking it out i'm still stuck with her so here it is listen to this they uh... this was a gastric band study
[SPEAKER_11]: It's an older study, they recycled it to slam.
[SPEAKER_11]: So according to the study of 12,500 married patients, more than 14% divorced within six years of losing a lot of weight compared with 8% among the wider population.
[SPEAKER_11]: Experts believe there are several reasons this may be happening.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is not rocket science as far as I'm concerned.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here they are.
[SPEAKER_11]: For one thing, people who commit to weight loss treatments like this are clearly comfortable making big life changes.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're probably becoming more social and trying to live a healthier life.
[SPEAKER_11]: If their partner is an on board, I could cost tension.
[SPEAKER_11]: Also, losing weight may make them feel more self-confident about moving on, particularly if the relationship isn't good or a happy place.
[SPEAKER_11]: an expert says it's not that losing a large amount of weight is ending healthy marriages.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is about people trying to improve their lives.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's worth pointing out studies into the link between weight loss drugs and divorce rates would need to follow people for a long time and since these drugs are relatively new, it'll be, but we don't, but we still give you the headline because that's how it works.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Rumors are already starting about Spider-Man brand new day, and people seem to think that the end, this next movie is the end for Peter Parker.
[SPEAKER_11]: Peter Parker, Peter Parker, one insider says the movie will quote,
[SPEAKER_11]: and badly.
[SPEAKER_11]: And there will be a big cliffhanger.
[SPEAKER_11]: Fans also think that a Craven's last hunt comic storyline could play out where Craven does anyone know these characters I'm talking to.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just trying to figure out how this got into your news feed.
[SPEAKER_10]: I thought once in a while, I want to, you know, because, well, it's the, I, I died out this because the power is fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, is he strong?
[SPEAKER_10]: Listen, bud, he's got radioactive blood.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, here's, here's the just, yes, they'll kill Spider-Man because they've got a huge Avengers movie in December where they can bring them back to life.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, so fans think a Craven's last hunt, comic story line, could play a Craven capture spider-man berries in the live, and impersonates him for several weeks.
[SPEAKER_11]: Some fans also think Hulk and Spider-Bad could fight to the death, neither and the reason I put the story in, because of Tom Holland, because he's screaming.
[SPEAKER_11]: Neither Tom Holland, nor his co-stars like Zendaya, are listed in the Avengers' Doomsday cast, but that doesn't mean too much since Marvel is known for not wanting to give too much away.
[SPEAKER_10]: That they're doing this press release, this isn't yeah, this is random people Oh, I'm sure it's why it's the why you Well, maybe it's yeah, it's theaters on When Craven is pretending to be Spider-Man, is it gonna be like when Jim Carrey pretended and had that double go to the award ceremony You'd have to ask the rest of his family the more-head family
[SPEAKER_11]: That was one thing you used to use with the UG, right?
[SPEAKER_10]: Great for the airport.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, hello.
[SPEAKER_11]: Is there a Craven more head?
[SPEAKER_10]: Not the best one though.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, but it's still a funny one.
[SPEAKER_11]: He put it in my account.
[SPEAKER_10]: Major Woody.
[SPEAKER_11]: Major Woody, Paging Major Woody.
[SPEAKER_11]: Ha!
[SPEAKER_11]: It feels like more young adults are still living with their parents, well, you're not imagining it.
[SPEAKER_11]: A new report shows about 33% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 are still living with their parents.
[SPEAKER_11]: The highest levels ever were during the pandemic when everything shut down for reference back in 1960, only about 22% of young adults lived at home, and I'm sure you can guess the reason it's money.
[SPEAKER_11]: Everything is so expensive and wages haven't kept up.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a big team with 34.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I want to know how many people 26 to 34 are still living at home.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Teenagers.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, I think that isn't a 25 when you're, they're no longer covered by your insurance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I think I should be out by 25.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think 25.
[SPEAKER_02]: You should be on your own.
[SPEAKER_11]: However, I do my daughter Elizabeth moved out of my ex's house a while back and into their own place.
[SPEAKER_11]: Maybe two, three years ago and now getting another place in that delightful suburb of Washington, DC.
[SPEAKER_11]: Alex, that's where Lewis works now.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love having Robert and home.
[SPEAKER_10]: I feel for him because I don't think he likes being at home because, you know, he's still with his folks and it's, you know, it's not his own place.
[SPEAKER_11]: And in school for fun, you just have to see what does he articulate that to you that he doesn't like.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, I just get that I get the feeling.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, don't just, if you're living with your folks, you'd feel a little restrained.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Does he refer to you as his roommates?
[SPEAKER_11]: let me see money's the reason top three states that do it where kids living in home Jersey Connecticut and California and the states where young adults are least likely to live with their parents north Dakota that see that sounds like an employment thing because there are a lot of jobs in North Dakota.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wyoming and South Dakota.
[SPEAKER_11]: So all those states up in the end of the week cheaper starter homes.
[SPEAKER_11]: in the Dakota's.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, they're hiring people all the time, all the time their hiring kids to maintain Mount Rushmore.
[SPEAKER_10]: Get up there and clean those heads boy.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I think it's oil.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a maybe oil.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: And ranch oil.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think it's ranching.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know if you do a lot of cow drops.
[SPEAKER_11]: You made that up.
[SPEAKER_11]: You don't know whether it's.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, I mean, it's the wide open land.
[SPEAKER_10]: Wouldn't you think ranching?
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of cows up there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's no, I don't.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a company called Oddbird that produces non-alcoholic wines, Mr. Speedwack, and D. Alcoholized Champagne.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, this Champagne is supposed to have the craft and taste of an elevated sparkling beverage, and you definitely pay for it.
[SPEAKER_11]: A bottle of fake champagne costs a hundred bucks, and believe it or not, there's a weight list for
[SPEAKER_11]: It's cheaper than fancy alcoholic champagne, which can be hundreds of dollars above.
[SPEAKER_11]: The company says that's a bargain because, quote, the process of de-alcoholization is not cheap.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're getting a premium experience that delivers ritual, community, and auto-stree.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you have to pay for that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Would you be interested in a de-alcoholized champagne?
[SPEAKER_10]: No, I mean, you know what, Martin Ellis Apple juice.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think champagne unless you're talking to you.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, if you're out to get ripped, I mean, fine, drink champagne.
[SPEAKER_10]: But champagne is not so special that without its pleasant side effects, it's important to me.
[SPEAKER_10]: I haven't been a bug fan ever been a big fan, but you know, good champagne is great.
[SPEAKER_10]: It really can be, but it's like a mosa.
[SPEAKER_11]: I like a mosa, but you know, regular champagne.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just doesn't do it for me.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mike, I always enjoyed a greyhound, which was Jen and grapefruit juice.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jen and great.
[SPEAKER_11]: You mean on your morning beverages?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, when you're taking brunch, you get a greyhound.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, I'm Rob Spuack, and I'm not gonna call off like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I know all the words.
[SPEAKER_11]: Finally, today there's no such thing as a free lunch or free cookies.
[SPEAKER_11]: A man in Florida is named Jalen Menzy.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hi, Menzy.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was arrested after allegedly robbing McDonald's on Sunday.
[SPEAKER_11]: Police say Jalen went in and put in an order when he got his food.
[SPEAKER_11]: He demanded free cookies.
[SPEAKER_11]: When he didn't get the free cookies, he pushed the workers out of the way, went behind the counter through things at them and took off with two other meals.
[SPEAKER_11]: uh... sounds like he did buy his original order but that's not one hundred percent clear either uh... jailan was later tracked down at a nearby apartment complex he was arrested and charged with battery and robbery is defense team will probably use the stand up for your cookie law which in florida is part of the
[SPEAKER_11]: If Florida is part of the broader eat or all shoot legislation made famous by golden corral customers who wanted to shoot people who cut the line at the roast beef carving station.

[SPEAKER_11]: You did funny, funny stuff, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: was a show called DC 20 break away.
[SPEAKER_08]: It came on Saturday afternoon.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was two hours.
[SPEAKER_08]: But I came on at the beginning in the middle and at the end of four syndicated sitcoms.
[SPEAKER_08]: What's happened
[SPEAKER_08]: No, but I remember what's happening now.
[SPEAKER_08]: What's happening now?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, well, you used to hang with Rie Run, Fred Berry.
[SPEAKER_08]: Rie Run.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: Small wonder.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, that's the word show.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So who is a small wonder?
[SPEAKER_11]: Who is the star?
[SPEAKER_11]: A little robot girl.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I don't think I don't think there was a star.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was just a little robot girl.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I would I would make fun of the shows and come on and I would I would promote caps games and because they were on channel 20 at the time and all kinds of stuff, but it was it was great it was I want to know I want to name me for doing that show believe it or not that is and you've been added a long time and you've found you said something the other day I don't know whether it was on your show the Tony Perkins show
[SPEAKER_11]: that's come back now to the podcast world, but you had mentioned, and I don't think you, you don't have to say anything that's not true anymore.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're not blown any smoke up anyway, anybody's.
[SPEAKER_11]: But you said that the podcast format is your all-time favorite, and it might be mine as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: So you did say that, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: You mentioned that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, I did.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you, you know,
[SPEAKER_08]: We talked.
[SPEAKER_08]: I asked you if I could select a co-host.
[SPEAKER_08]: You said sure.
[SPEAKER_08]: I said I told you about Gary Stein.
[SPEAKER_08]: My former producer at Good Morning America.
[SPEAKER_08]: Good friend.
[SPEAKER_08]: You said whatever you want to do.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we did a podcast for four years on the Michael Marin Network.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was great.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, we didn't make money, we didn't break through big time, but we had a nice loyal cork, corv listeners.
[SPEAKER_08]: Most of them had come from you, and I fell in love with the format.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's my favorite thing I've ever done because it was mine.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, we could, yeah, it's personal.
[SPEAKER_08]: Do what we want it to do.
[SPEAKER_08]: Book who we want it to book and all that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that is a credit to you, and I will be forever grateful to you for that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Gary Stein is Tony's partner, most of our listeners that are listening to this know that and you've worked with him at Good Morning America when you were the weather guy for GMA back in the day and Gary Stein is outside of being
[SPEAKER_11]: just a nudge is a accomplished photographer yes he is he has there's an expression of course that everybody's heard that when you marry you outkick your coverage Gary was in a different time zone
[SPEAKER_11]: when it came to outkicking his coverage with his lovely talented wife, who is Sarah's Park, Sarah Park, who was a cab of racinger and a fine one at that time.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then you know, but Gary, there's one thing I've got.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I don't even know the man that well, but I've gotten this through the years based on his social media world that he is an ultimately super nice human being very nice man and he is funny too.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's funny.
[SPEAKER_08]: He is very nice except to me on the podcast, which is the way it's supposed
[SPEAKER_11]: to be right.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_08]: But he listened.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's Gary.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I went to Good Morning America.
[SPEAKER_08]: My first few months there on the air were very uneven because I had a different producer for every different thing that I did.
[SPEAKER_08]: And in their wisdom someone said, you know, we got to get a regular producer who is Tony's guy and they do stuff and develop stuff and develop a rapport.
[SPEAKER_08]: I wanted
[SPEAKER_08]: They said we want you to die.
[SPEAKER_08]: I want it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I need to be my producer Beth Ann actually Man, I'll do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I'll have one of my barbers do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah Go ahead.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry to interrupt.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay
[SPEAKER_08]: uh... so they said we want you to meet this guy he is the producer of breakfast time on fox uh... it was a morning show with timbers around and i met him and i really wanted to hire this other guy but in our meeting uh... he had watched the show he said listen here's what they're doing right with you here's what they're doing wrong uh... he really drilled down he was great and i at the end of that meeting i thought wow i got to let my friend know that i'm not gonna be able to hire him i'm gonna hire
[SPEAKER_08]: And we became the best thing about my time at Good Morning America and it was a wonderful time.
[SPEAKER_08]: Got to meet some amazing people, work with amazing people, the best thing to come out of it was my relationship with Gary, we're best friends.
[SPEAKER_11]: And as far as our personal background, we mentioned every time you come on the show that Tony and I were the same class at the American University back in the day Tony actually took his broadcast journalism degree and, you know, technically he's closer to what that's all about than I ever was because I became a shock shock and Tony became a, you know, network.
[SPEAKER_11]: personality, which was spectacular.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I thought that's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: You wouldn't want to change anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then, but, you know, Tony, Tony has a little wanderlust, guys.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know that.
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, the man is difficult to hold down in one play.
[SPEAKER_11]: You like, and you do.
[SPEAKER_11]: You like to keep your feet moving.
[SPEAKER_11]: You do.
[SPEAKER_11]: You like doing different stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: You like meeting other people.
[SPEAKER_11]: You like working in different worlds.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is unlikely for you to come
[SPEAKER_11]: back to something you've done before because you don't normally do that.
[SPEAKER_11]: What I'd be right about that.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is absolutely right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so, you know, when the opportunity prison and listen, Gary and I have talked over the years about.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, rebooting the show and all that kind of thing, it just, it never was right.
[SPEAKER_08]: I actually entertained some other notions, maybe I'll do a show with this person or that person, that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: And this is the honest, it got's truth.
[SPEAKER_08]: Last fall, finally, Gary and I were talking and I had a conversation, I said, Gary, Gary,
[SPEAKER_08]: Um, we should be very proud of the show that we did on the Michael Maran network.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was great fun and, and that was it, you know, we did four years, um, and we did it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's, and you have a following and, and people were really happy, uh, you know, when you guys decided you wanted to come back and do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: and as far as anything significantly changed when you come back with this incarnation is there anything that you guys said?
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's start again, but let's do this because I didn't ask that question off here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I don't have anything to do with it.
[SPEAKER_11]: You do your own thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Is there anything that you said we want to do it differently?
[SPEAKER_08]: There were several things, but unfortunately none of them have happened.
[SPEAKER_08]: there are still reference in our first episode, we did a whole segment about Ed Sullivan, you know, the reference readings grabber.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's right out of the Theo Vaughn playbook.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, Clark Gable has come up with the most recent show.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's got a graphic of the Titanic.
[SPEAKER_08]: Be sure.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's like, please, can we have some more recent references?
[SPEAKER_08]: We're older guys, and you know, I guess it is what it is.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you've got a new title.
[SPEAKER_08]: We have a new title.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the show is this time around it's called, uh, you got to be kidding me, um, with Tony Perkins and Gary Stein, because, uh, Gary, and that's a retro name.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a retro name.
[SPEAKER_11]: That sounds like something that's Sid Seasor would have come up with, where it's just like,
[SPEAKER_11]: You got a big kidding me, you're right, absolutely right, we are what we are, the late friend Willard could do an improv on the title of that show.
[SPEAKER_11]: You might have remembered me from the sitcom.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can't do my work.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I got a real red wagon anyway.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's just, that is too funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: So a great thing about working with Tony is that Robin I keep telling him yes, and it's clear that he comes from the corporate world where they need to control everything Yeah, tell him exactly what to do so we keep him more freedom.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, and I don't think he's I don't think he's fully used to that yet I haven't yet used to that again because you know you work for Fox you work for NBC and you know there are certain things you can do and you can't do and so I do have to kind of acclimate myself
[SPEAKER_10]: The only network that loves to say yes is CBS, and I'm sorry you're not with them any longer.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, a lot of people aren't with them any longer.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't have a mighty family.
[SPEAKER_11]: CBS.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't get me started.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, we should.
[SPEAKER_11]: We should.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm Barry.
[SPEAKER_11]: My name is Billy Wies.
[SPEAKER_11]: See you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wow, no, I mean really, I mean, I've read a lot about that.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's scary.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's it's interesting and us and we all when we grew up CBS was it It's news that was Tiffany network.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, Tiffany network news in particular was for those of you that are younger Everyone and I mean everyone who watch news would be watching a man named Walter Cronkite.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's right
[SPEAKER_11]: period.
[SPEAKER_11]: End of story.
[SPEAKER_11]: And there was never any discussion of his belief system either by him or by anyone else.
[SPEAKER_11]: It didn't exist.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's how long ago it is.
[SPEAKER_08]: When Lyndon Johnson was president of the United States and Walter Cronkite and CBS were covering the Vietnam war.
[SPEAKER_08]: and Americans began to turn on the Vietnam War.
[SPEAKER_08]: And in Johnson said, if I've lost prankite, I've lost America.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, CBS, and I still remember it.
[SPEAKER_11]: CBS, it was an editorial decision to run footage.
[SPEAKER_11]: actual combat footage from Southeast Asia that was one of the major reasons people seeing it every night and getting casual reports of how many American dead every night.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you would think that things would have progressed and they have it.
[SPEAKER_11]: They've gone in a different direction, but that's the pendulum.
[SPEAKER_11]: As far as local news is concerned,
[SPEAKER_11]: Because I really don't even know how to formulate the question as to whether that has been effective by the divisiveness or whether you have gotten directives from people to keep a certain likeness, which I think based on watching it, I might feel that that exists today.
[SPEAKER_11]: How have you seen local news since you've been doing it so long?
[SPEAKER_11]: How has that changed over the years?
[SPEAKER_08]: I think local stations are depending on who owns them.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think most local stations want to serve their particular market, so they may or may not
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I'll say this, you know, I was at Fox five for many, many years.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, the local and its own by Fox.
[SPEAKER_08]: But it's a division of Fox.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's What's it called?
[SPEAKER_08]: What's it called?
[SPEAKER_10]: What's owned an operated local?
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, it's an old family.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's station.
[SPEAKER_08]: It comes under.
[SPEAKER_08]: I can't remember right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: But it was separate from Fox.
[SPEAKER_08]: Please check.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you said propaganda.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: But because here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: The here's one thing that Fox does it's very smart.
[SPEAKER_08]: They they say to the local stations You know your market do what you got to do you know where we stand on things, but do what you got to do and make money?
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, that's what we care about.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's the bottom line right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I like to tell you the same thing
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, you know, absolutely stopping if I do what you got to do make money.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the local stations different from the networks, for example, but in the day and age at where now, I think all of us are being careful to not, you want to report the news.
[SPEAKER_08]: You want it to be accurate.
[SPEAKER_08]: You don't want to incur the wrath of this administration because we know.
[SPEAKER_08]: that they are litigious, they will go after you.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so there's a, you know, it does cast a little bit of a Paul, I think, but within that, we certainly still try to do our job and tell you the news and what's actually going on out there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and it's hard to tell if you at least I found down here in one of the reddest areas of the United States.
[SPEAKER_11]: I always kind of watch it and see, is there anybody real?
[SPEAKER_11]: And it seems that it's gotten all bland and there is.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a lot more light-hearted stuff that you have as opposed to what it used to be.
[SPEAKER_11]: But you've been around all the
[SPEAKER_11]: all the legends here, and even that is, it is a rarity to have somebody that's doing it as long as you've done it, do you, I mean, have you ever battled any youth movements or had any new, I mean, you've worked with so many different news directors, and I've always heard because I've never been around television news ever.
[SPEAKER_11]: So all I can assume I have heard
[SPEAKER_11]: that new and I don't want to put you on the spot.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're still working for a news director that some news directors can be worse than bad program director.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that you know that's the case.
[SPEAKER_08]: It depends on where you are, what market you are, what station you are.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you know, if you turn on the TV, I'm sure you see it there.
[SPEAKER_08]: You turn on the TV and you can tell what stations are doing the whole youth movement.
[SPEAKER_08]: They've got the
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, the women who all seemed to wear the same type of dress and their young and, you know, all that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: But there are stations, and I'm happy to say NBC, you know, well, you know NBC, um, NBC 4 here, it's the legacy station in Washington.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is the whole standard.
[SPEAKER_08]: The gold standard, long time Washington legends, Jim Vance, Doreen Gensler, Ryan.
[SPEAKER_08]: And what tends to happen at NBC here, people don't leave NBC until they are retiring, or they work long enough to, unfortunately, pass away.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is a great place to work.
[SPEAKER_08]: And NBC values the people that they hire, whatever age they are.
[SPEAKER_08]: For example, when I left Channel 9, I really thought, okay, well, that's it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I had my run in little TV news.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_08]: Six months later, I got a call from the news director at NBC 4.
[SPEAKER_08]: offering me a job.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's in my latter years, you know, so that's cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: Very fortunate.
[SPEAKER_11]: But it's also you.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, it's you.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, a name and a, you know, steady Eddie in the market, which I think is, you know, something hits the fan up there.
[SPEAKER_11]: You've been there and added long enough where I mean, if I'm in DC and something's going down, I would tune to you because it would be a familiar.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that, that, that really should be taken into consideration.
[SPEAKER_11]: and you can tell and I know you wouldn't say this, you have too much class, but I'll say this.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, when you get a 13 year old who's, you know, in the middle of a, like, a mass shooting and they go right to this, having a ham and a ham and a ham, it's not the same, but when you're a steady person and you've been there for the whole run, you know,
[SPEAKER_11]: it works because the person has been there and continues to do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now as far as the podcast format, you've done it all, you've worked everything from stand up to network weather, to most of your time anchoring, but the podcast, you know, the idea of making it your own.
[SPEAKER_11]: like Rob Spuac, you have a lot of similar passions to Rob, like the Beatles, for example.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, and by the way, Josh, remember that video I played last week with Jeff Daniels, remember the hair on the guitar?
[SPEAKER_11]: If you find that, Tony would get a kick out of that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Where you start about meeting George Harrison?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, oh, you saw that, oh, is that special where the guitar signed the guitar and he plays so I mean really, really amazing.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I lost my train of thought there, but I was going to get back to the idea of the podcast.
[SPEAKER_11]: How have your taste changed over the years?
[SPEAKER_11]: Is there anything new that, you know, is it all nostalgia for you?
[SPEAKER_11]: Where what are your, what's the latest thing for you?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you know, I, I joke because, you know, we're all older guys and, you know, set for Josh.
[SPEAKER_08]: except for Josh, if they got Josh is around, but I have managed to stay current.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's probably another reason I'm still working today because I'm still.
[SPEAKER_08]: That makes a difference.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm plugged into what's going on now.
[SPEAKER_10]: Do you think Connor helped you with that?
[SPEAKER_10]: Almost absolutely.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, like, almost it defaults to that you have to follow stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's got a son, same age as Robert.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just she hadn't said that because I was going to say Tony is a very close to you know MMA fighter Connor McGregor and he's also very plugged in yes yeah I'm sorry I'm a Gregor calls me too and and how old is your son now you're not going to believe this he's 22 he'll be 23 in September
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, see, I'm somebody different because I started all over again.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have a 30-year-old and a 28-year-old now.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, and those are his daughter's not his wife.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, they're a little bit down here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, one of the things that I love is, you know, counterbing 22, he's into today's scene to some extent.
[SPEAKER_08]: and we actually go back and forth with music.
[SPEAKER_08]: I will, I'll, he'll play me something and I'll say well you know what that riff is that's from you know some 70s band or something and I'll play that for him and we will go back and forth and it's a great way to kind of stay up on what's going on now.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know I'm still the same person.
[SPEAKER_08]: I do have my fingers in some of the current stuff as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: So our show is not an all nostalgia show.
[SPEAKER_08]: We talk about stuff going on now.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're in the process of booking some guests.
[SPEAKER_08]: Some of those guests may surprise people because they're young.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so it's still my interest, same interest, but we're trying to be a little more up-to-date.
[SPEAKER_11]: How much of the content will you be generating?
[SPEAKER_11]: How many podcasts are you looking to do in the best case scenario?
[SPEAKER_08]: Right now, we are doing one a week.
[SPEAKER_08]: We hope to have some bonus episodes following the Michael Mara model.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm going to get that idea.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know it's going to moha.
[SPEAKER_08]: A fan.
[SPEAKER_08]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_08]: We also want to, you know, use some of our older material.
[SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, just say, hey, do you remember this from 2018 or whatever?
[SPEAKER_08]: Right now we're just doing the one show a week.
[SPEAKER_10]: To add on to that, this is the first time they've had a solid video presence, too.
[SPEAKER_10]: And they're on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_10]: So there's a different angle when you can see things.
[SPEAKER_10]: As we know from our show, when you can show things instead of just discussing them, it makes a big difference.
[SPEAKER_10]: And it's a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_10]: And Tony's a TV guy.
[SPEAKER_10]: He knows how to work there.
[SPEAKER_11]: When you say different angles, that a camera angle for a dairy?
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds like he was in that episode too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tony is very welcome to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tony is very similar to you, Mike.
[SPEAKER_02]: That when a image is popped up on the screen, it might distract him a little bit.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think I have laser focused Josh when I'm on the show.
[SPEAKER_11]: If it's a female.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah, yeah, we had to do things to different times like I just want to explain we had to really try the way she's no longer with us.
[SPEAKER_11]: God rest her beautiful lovely soul, but Tony and I were at American you this is for the DC folks out there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, Tony and I were at American University where there was not.
[SPEAKER_11]: any man in the broadcast program that didn't lust in their hearts after Wendy Rieger.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was the day and Wendy was dating this behemoth of a guy with big lamb chop sideburns and he just looked like he could kick all of our asses, simultaneously, was it Paul Barry?
[SPEAKER_10]: But Mike, just to let you know about the distraction we should know is a good local reference.
[SPEAKER_10]: That makes me laugh out loud.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you listen to I believe episode three, there is a Jake break on the show when I put up a picture of Pam Greer.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, it stops in our day and our day as recently as Jackie Brown.

[SPEAKER_11]: Beautiful video.

[SPEAKER_06]: A small plane coming in for an emergency landing, right there.
[SPEAKER_06]: The eastbound lanes of I-78 in Lehigh County.

[SPEAKER_11]: That was on the ground.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was on the ground.
[SPEAKER_10]: That was on the ground.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was on the ground.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was on the ground.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was on the ground
[SPEAKER_10]: Now, it's been a while since an artist has really taken over the Hot 100.
[SPEAKER_10]: Elvis did it, the Beatles has done it, and you know, it happens once in a while, but this is an older guy.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I have to give him credit.
[SPEAKER_10]: His name is Eddie Dalton.
[SPEAKER_10]: He has 11 songs on the iTunes Hot 100 and 2 in the top 10.
[SPEAKER_10]: He has the number 3 album in the world right now.
[SPEAKER_10]: And this is one of his songs is called Another Day Old.
[SPEAKER_10]: And, you know, I appreciate when I an older guy can actually, you know, crack the out 100.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it speaks well of music, both and he doesn't.
[SPEAKER_10]: The only thing that sort of a curveball is that he's AI and he does not exist.
[SPEAKER_10]: Have a good day and the thing that brings me out is I like it I could listen to this I was sitting here.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was jamming to it And I said it's interesting that you don't have a you know a video of him, but uh, yeah I'm sure we'll get one soon enough.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right up quick.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, hey, he beat you scoop.
[SPEAKER_11]: He beat you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know people are sick But that's a eye
[SPEAKER_10]: You know it already.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mike, if you're on a council for a school board, it's important to behave.
[SPEAKER_10]: You really must.
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, telling a student that stands up to speak that is not yet 18, God, your heart is not okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, this is the buzzing news this morning.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he's gonna see a clip from Washington County school board meeting now has been raising red flags.
[SPEAKER_05]: A school board member's comment toward a student is causing some concerns.
[SPEAKER_05]: Listen to this.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_10]: But the guy that was speaking was actually, he's got to play the game because I got it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you know which one I were to be looking at?
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's in the center.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think it's in the center.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's in the center that I want to make sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: Tortist student is causing some concerns.
[SPEAKER_05]: Listen to this.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're off.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_04]: How do you know school life?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't rock it.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: There was a comment in it to be, I guess, a complimentary by a board member.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was meant to be complimentary, boy.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're a guy.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're all old.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, all guys are there, exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: We're doing it.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's not okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Rob's B-Wack if you don't look you die.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's true, but you don't need to scream it.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, it's disgusting.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not disgusting.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's creepy.
[SPEAKER_11]: And by the way, by the way, for those that may not be in the know, or it warmed to the tomb for a lot of men.
[SPEAKER_11]: Like you still look, and you do, what is gross is if a guy still thinks he's got, you know, he's got a comment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there he is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's quite a mustache, that's a great fall.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you find that on the fly Josh?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and the pistolation is the hot person.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, okay, the hot girl is pixelizing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, he's a Washington farmer's co-op, so that's good.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's just, you know,
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm always thrown by that phrasing because it makes me think of, do you remember when Regis was accused of flying to Notre Dame and he had a girl in Notre Dame and when he seduced or he kept saying, God, you're cute.
[SPEAKER_11]: God, you're so cute.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're so cute.
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, take out the pom-poms.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, really.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I think it's even creepier because it looks like he's like putting his arm around the girl while saying it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, no, no, that's not funny.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, it's not.
[SPEAKER_10]: It has to stop.
[SPEAKER_10]: This must stop.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mike, there's a let's close with this because I know that you and I both are on the receiving end of the wife and our house
[SPEAKER_10]: are cards like they go through and they see what we've charged or debited each day and they question it.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is an amazing story from a comic I'd never heard of him name Elon Altman ordering Chinese food and I like the way it plays out.
[SPEAKER_01]: My wife is great but she's not perfect.
[SPEAKER_01]: Her flaws she doesn't like Chinese food.
[SPEAKER_01]: That means that whenever I'm craving Chinese food I wait until she's not home and then I get delivery from my favorite place as a restaurant called Hondine Steans brave.
[SPEAKER_01]: I never told her I was getting delivery from there because it didn't seem like a big deal but she caught me one day and I got really mad about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: What happened was I wasn't home.
[SPEAKER_01]: She was looking at our credit card statement, so the restaurant's website on there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Han Dynasty.com.
[SPEAKER_01]: But she read it as H-A-N-D-Y, H-E-N-A-S-T-Y, N-A-S-E-Y, N-A-S-E. N-D-N-S-D.com.
[SPEAKER_01]: So she did not think that was a Chinese restaurant.
[SPEAKER_01]: She thought some kind of adult website that specializes in nasty hand jobs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is some of the guys you know is candynasty.net.
[SPEAKER_11]: Good, well written.
[SPEAKER_11]: Good, terrible delivery.
[SPEAKER_10]: She did that.
[SPEAKER_10]: But you know what, it was pretty good.
[SPEAKER_10]: And later on he goes on to say, he says, I didn't think it would be a big deal.
[SPEAKER_10]: Your father recommended it.
[UNKNOWN]: So.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's funny.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, that was a full show.
[SPEAKER_10]: I appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I want to thank Tony Perkins for coming on and talking about the you'll get to the kidding me Is a new show we'll be back for the brand new episode tomorrow.
