Speaker 5 (02:49):
He's so clear, but I'm pretty sure he is Mary Yeah,
probably probably. Again, this can't ever come to fruition. It's
a purely limerent relationship. He needs to say at a
distance for me in order to keep it real.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
You know, Michael's working on this for the show, right.

Speaker 3 (03:03):

going to call somebody else's boss today or not. We're
going to get this story today and then we're going

Speaker 3 (04:28):
HAMMONA hummon, No, you cut yourself up on that one

Speaker 5 (04:37):
What.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I just couldn't even pull it in from the beginning
weather like you do.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Gotta uh gotta teer myself up today as yesterday it
was just a nice little touch of sunshine and we're
back to rain and potential a little bit of snur
It's just cold, yes, it's cold out. The highest forty
five today possible rain showers here and there, but just
gray and chili.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
This is the part, this is the part of winter
that we were warning you about.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I get it now.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
It's like you're just thinking, all right and we're out
and then you get punched again. It's like you're getting
up off the map for a minute and then just
somebody kicks you in the face.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
It's actively a twenty round boxing.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, you can't trust anything above fifty degrees until mid May.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
You guys know that there's places around the United States
where it's sunny all year.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, they got a lot of bugs. Then, that's true.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
The people there attend to suck a little more hurricanes.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Crockett is nearly as good as our Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Our summers are also unbeatable.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'll take humidity, I like you.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I'll take humidity, and then whatever happens in the winter,
I'm just used to it.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Well, and like next year, I'll know better. I know
what I'm in for now. Yeah, it's a long ride, and.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
You know, to get on those antidepressants starting in about September.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, a little bit right now, time for the plug,
early plug. We're plugging it oh, we're plugging it early.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
For the pool.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Why does he always take his pants off during this
two things together? Is that the five things? Damn it?
I don't know, just marrassings. Take your pants off, William Jacob,
excuse me? And then times.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
We've got fan Dango tickets for you to see Neil
Young Coastal as we get a behind the scenes look
at his recent solo tour, all directed by his wife
Darryl Hannah.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
What's the number?

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Oh, do you not like it when you're getting to
someplace and then someone comes.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
In early and then like gets you there for eight
ninety five fifty b collar ten on Rock ninety five five.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Dog this pearls sure can jam the morning mash bit
on Rock ninety five five.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Boys, what do we do it?

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Easter's a right around the corner, and we have a resurrection.
Scientists have brought back done Mikey, you think, yeah, oh,
thank you. We have a resurrection is hilarious. Scientists have
brought all the bell. Has been a long walk to

(07:25):
the bell, all right, it was worthy.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Hold on, I'm getting it. I'm yeah, okay, I'll tell
your story, Mikeel.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
The revival of the once extinct dire wolf species has
everyone saying the same thing on social media. What would
you bring back that's extinct? Scientists have used DNA to
bring back the extinct wolf. That's cool, that's kind of awesome,
like the Game of Thrones wolves.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's exactly the same. That's exactly a dire wolf.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
I mean it's cute right now, right, they're just puppies. Wow,
But these dire wolves get they do.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
When I was living in Colorado, they decided I don't
know who it was, but they decided to like reintroduce
wolves into the population.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I think was needed. Right.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
It sounds like a good idea, but it's just killing
everyone's livestock. Now everybody's like, why.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Did we do this?

Speaker 5 (08:15):
I can't believe these predators are attacking our prey animal.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yea, wolves are huge.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, if you could bring anything back, I would love
to at least see a megalodon. That was was it?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
So we do want shark hunting together, Yes, it's a
sixty foot prehistorical.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
Sharks would hunt us. But I you know what, we
got to go out somehow, that's true. I want to
go out getting chopped by a giant Megalodon, so.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
The one that I wanted.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
I know we can't because I don't think there's fossils
of a dodo bird.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Are there not fossils of the dogs? I was alive
not that long ago.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, And I think that's the problem because it wasn't
like it was a few million years ago that the
dodo bird exists. Did It was eaten by pirates in
like one summer when they got on the item and
realized these birds.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Are actually stupid.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Blackbeard love dodo wings, but four.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Fifty what would you bring back? Selfishly? I want to
know how good they tasted.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I was literally about to say.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
They took out the entire population. Those must have been
some succulent birds.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Do you think they made a dry up for their wings?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
And that's the thing.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
No, I don't think they had spices or anything. They're
just like man that kind of hit. It's Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
You don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Maybe they actually made just like buffalo chicken way back
when was buffalo dodo wraps?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Dinosaurs, huh dinosaurs. I was about to say it, right,
Jurassic Park.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I would like, oh, wait a minute, wait a minute,
what we could have a real Jurassic Park if only
there were several movies explaining in detail why that's a
terrible idea.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I think that when the dire Wolf pups get to adulthood,
that's going to explain why this is a terrible idea.
A lot of those animals were oversized for their time period,
and bringing them back to now where we're a lot
more overpopulated.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, it's not gonna go well for one of us.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
It's okay, But Steve just emailed us pictures of the
Dire Wolf puppies, and I think we could bring if
we wanted.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I think bring a book. All right, So I'm going
Did you say I'm going to maul your entire family? Yes? Yeah,
but he says it's so cute. Okay, listen, I've dated
a lot of weird dudes. I'm auf I'm a lot
in for less.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
So so both of you kind of had the same
look on your face, like you wanted to pet these puppies. Okay,
that's your little wolf cub. So I'm the only one
surviving the dire Wolf plague.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, you want to know why you're the only one
that wants to survive. I'll go out. You want to
be killed by a dire wolf. I don't want to,
but we all got it die one day.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Eight four four ninety five fifty. What extinct creature would
you like to see back on this planet Earth?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Death by dire wolves?

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Bobby, It is the morning mashpit on Rock ninety five five, Maria, Wow,
what's going on?

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Technology sure does advance quickly, and as it does, we
see it Town Rock ninety five to five as leading
us to an inevitable.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Human versus robot wall News from the front of the
Inevitable human Robot War.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
Japan has started using three D printing technology to create
full sized train stations. Amazingly, the West Japan Railway Group
recently put together a new station in just two and
a half hours to replace an aging wooden structure. This
new efficient method would allow the company to take care
of other stations and relatively rural stations and serve many

(12:01):
people who live outside of city centers.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I like this a lot, Yeah, I do. It's sufficient.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Like I've heard about this, you know, how like construction,
you know, seemingly anywhere in America is always going on. Yeah,
there's there's stories where they're like, uh, they put up
a hospital in seventy two hours in Japan. Yeah, like
why are there or like the idea that we stop
traffic because people do construction where they've come up with
a way that's just like a rolling and movable overpass. Yeah,
that the cars can just go over and they can

(12:29):
do anything underneath. Why are we not doing school stuff?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
We're behind the game. Yeah, we're not credit talking to
each other. Wait, we got to communicate first.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
We would have to agree on a set basis of facts,
and we haven't even gotten there.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
So we're creating fake people to communicate, and ye'd be
a mediator.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
The robots will agree exactly. How ya.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
No, because you, trusting she loves, are going to walk
right onto this three D printed train platform that popped
up yesterday and has these stations that haven't been established
for decades.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
You don't even know where this train's going, but you're going.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
To get right on it because you're trusted technology that
it's going to nowhere. And then the train explodes, And
then they went to the Inevitable Human Robot War.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
This was news from the front of the Inevitable human
robot War.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Turn the page, whereas we say these days, scroll there
it is this Morning Mosh, but on Rock ninety five
to five, Niki, I have a.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
List of unhinged money saving hacks that people swear by
to stop spending.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
That sounds reliable.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Good, I'm gonna start with my favorite here.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I taped a picture of my mother to my debit
card to remind me of when we had to move
in with her and how freaking bad that was. WHOA,
that's a loaded statement, it is, and don't pull your
card out around her.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
But yeah, to take the picture that doesn't just like
live in your brain and body.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
He pulls that, you imagine every time he falls out,
he's like, nope, slides right crazy.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I would just oh mom, no, no.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
We had one of these lists yesterday and this was
on it. Lock all your cards so you have to
actually unlock them before swiping and stuff. But then you're
just pissing people off.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
In line is Apple pay? I don't know. That's not
going to help.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Let's see, I asked myself, will this twenty dollars item
turn up in a garage sale for two dollars in
the future. You probably, by the way a garage sale
wanted to do. Oh do your parents ever you ever
have a garage sale and you got to go label everything.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh no, no, no, no, I would never put one on,
but I would love to go to sale.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, a new Maria Palmer video series thrifts all the
time gives me a.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
Thrift store, a garage sale, an estate sale.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I want it all.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
Your grandma's silverware is so beautiful and actually has silver
in it, and it's like four dollars.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, I would go to.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
An state sale before a garage sale. Okay, well, who
look at me?

Speaker 2 (15:05):
I passed the minion.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
I don't go doing this stut garage for me, babyans.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I've never been to either.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
Noise no no, only new things for a millionaire marriage.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
I'm sorry you've never been to a garage sale?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
No wild no, I mean I've at least like walked
through one when my neighbors were doing one or something.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
No, I don't care to touch other people's stuff like that.
I agree with you there.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
That's why I don't go to thrift stores.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't need to recycle things. The environment.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
It is, but it's one of those things where like
I have a very different body type. I just can't
go to a garage sound of black thick legs as
where actually this is my.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
God John.

Speaker 8 (16:00):
Paget's side, like, no, it's not going to be a thing,
and then like looking through other people's knickknacks.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
I don't care, Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
I like this one kind of when you get the
urge to buy something, make up a credit card payment instead,
it still gives you a old dopamine hit like you're
doing something good, you're paying for something, you're getting something,
but you're not actually just wasting your money off the
garbage like I do.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
I do like that, and I actually frequently do that.
Not a brag, not a brag, but I do that.
We want to know for you because I need to
pay my credit card down.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
How do you save money? What would you what?

Speaker 3 (16:36):
What tip would you give to like your kids? What
tip would you give to someone else? Four four fifty
text us and it could make it in text time at.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
The end of the show.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
What tip would you give Michael?

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I would say, raising just throw your wallet off a
cliff or something. Just get it out of your hand,
Apple pay.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I still got my watch hair okay, so I still
could pay some of it. When you decide to throw
your wallet off a Cliff, just let me know.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
Now, look at there, nothing but a good time or
dervs drinks. There's gotta be something else this morning, mash
but on Rock ninety five five. Otherwise, no one's having
a good time, not when your blood sugar gets low.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
What I tell funny jokes, I say funny things. The
bell did not go off. I don't live by your bell.
Oh you don't know. I appreciate what is it? Thank you?
It's Michael.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
There you go perfect? Thanks, appreciate what Okay, you just
said the S word? Oh did she just say what?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I think? This is bull crap.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Let us move on.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I read a story yesterday, so there was this woman
in Oh he read? Did you want to give him points?
Because he can read well?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I watched a video, but I'll say I read.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
There's a story yesterday about a woman who swept streets
in Thailand.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
It's one of the worst jobs you could possibly have.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
A photographer was there on vacation, thought she was pretty,
took a few pictures of her, and now she is
a wildly famous, rich model. And I was thinking, like,
when did you get a big break? When did something
work out for you that was random or that happened randomly.
You know, I know you have no one Maria.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
The year was twenty fifteen.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
I was a bartender and one of the cus dive
bars in DC that existed at the time. What was
the name of it, was called the High Dive. It
only existed for two years. Well, and our program director
right now walked into my bar in DC and he
was like, hey, you want to be on the radio.
And I was like, I would love to not be
a bartender.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
To be fair, there's probably a point in there where
he was having drinks or he was having beer or
whatever and hanging out and just watching you. Yes, right,
and he's like, she's funny. You can tell jokes.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
According according to the man who I've been rebelling against
ever since, he said that because I was like essentially
wheeling and dealing, like making drinks and like still keeping
the conversation, like going and flowing.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
He was like, Oh, imagine what she could do behind
a board and look at you.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Now and now look at me and causing a rockus
every morning on Rock ninety five.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
To five, chaos Quee.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
We want to hear it, We want to hear from you.
Eight four four ninety five fifty. How do you get
your break or a break text?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Us.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
I was sitting in a bar on Draft Day for
the NFL and was just randomly talking with people and
ran into a very upset Bear season ticket holder. Okay,
and he just looks at me and goes, you're really
a Lions fan? And I was like, absolutely, He goes,
I don't like the Bears right now, so you want

(19:51):
to just link up when the Bears play the Lions,
I don't even care.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
You'd get the tickets. So I got the tickets.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
No. I ended up getting to see Calvin Johnson and
play his last game of at Soldier Field along with
Peanut Tillman.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
It's just like circumstances just fell into place, and like
that's just something that me and my buddy Pat just
have forever, along with all the other games that we've
seen a Soldier Field.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Not only did you get to go to the game,
but it was extra cool.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah. It was like the final game of the season.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Nothing was on the line because the Lions and the
Bears were terrible, but just being there for that final
game for Calvin and Peanut Tilman was cool.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Ya cool, as you know.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
I'm a Pearl jam fan. I even moved to an
area in West Seattle where I knew Eddie Vedder lived
in the hopes I would run into him.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
So you're not a fan, you're a stalker.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Something like that. I drove by his house once and
they had to put fences, not because of.

Speaker 9 (20:43):
Me, but.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Because everybody does that.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I guess, oh, yeah, everyone does this.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
No, they drive by to try to see his house
because it's no they know where it is, sure. And
one day I was like, I had to go to
the d m V. I went to the DMV and
I'm sitting there, places packed with people, and they're someone
up at the counter talking and his voice is loud,
and I was like, this guy's got to talk for
a living or something like this is crazy. And he
turns around and I am full it's it's Eddie Vedder

(21:10):
at the DMV, right in front of me.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Six to midnight on that one.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
I go. I mean like people were saying, they were like, okay,
so four years when this is id Canna Expire will
be back at the DMV in West Seattle on this date,
Like it's crazy, But so I just I just threw
my ticket away, the number ticket and I was like,
I don't care about the DMV today.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I'm gonna wait outside until he comes out.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
And sure enough, he came out and hung out with
me for like twenty minutes, gave me guitar picks out
of his pocket.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
I'll talk to him.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
One of the highlights of my life.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Did you kid? I would have? It's like, so, man,
what are you doing today? And he goes, I'm busy.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
I was like, all right, what if Eddie Vedder just
lately caressed your face, put his other hand on the
back of your head, and then he got your vetter kiss.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
It doesn't get out better than this.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
I would like to write some Michael and Eddie fanfic.
Actually I don't want to write. No, no, don't I
want you to Dear listener eight four four.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Rock ninety five five.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I don't know why people trust us, do they? I'm Maris,
I'm Maria Palmer.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I'm the very trustworthy Michael.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
That's our residential liar.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
But for reasons I don't understand, people are hitting me
up and just asking for help with their bosses because
they want to quit.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Oh well, let's be so clear and honest. I'm rocking
twenty five to five for a change.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
They're not going to us because of trust. They're going
to us because they're done. They are over this job
and they want to go out with a bang. And
dang it, I'd love to bang your boss. That's not
what I meant. We love doing this, weird. What I
meant wanted me to go out with the bang. No,
you're not. You're not getting there. But keep trying. I

(23:02):
don't know how to save myself from this one.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
You can't. Okay, all right, So we're going to talk
to Rick. Rick's gonna tell us what's going on at
work and why we.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Need to call his boss. He's going to join in
on the battle against corporate shill.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
Good morning, mosh Pit.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
We got tickets coming up for the Chicago Wolves. Here
on Rock ninety five, five, Chicago's rock station. This morning
mosh Pit.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'm Michael, I'm.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Maris, and I'm Maria Palmer, and we need you to
send us an email asking us to quit your job
for you. And you get me all excited, and you
give me a phone number to call. Pick up the
damn phone.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
It's the easiest part. We get excited about talking to
shills in your honor.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
I love quitting a job. I'm so good at it.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
Did ever tell you the time that I gave my
bosses a different dive bar than I got discovered in
my two weeks notice by giving them like a condolences.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
I love stuff like this. Oh please, it's like this
whole you know what.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
I'm going to look it up and we'll get back
to that like the next break, because it deserves to
be read word for word.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Oh wow, I did a good job with it. Have
you ever quit a job?

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Usually they quit me.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I believe that to be true.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Have you ever quit a job? I quit my job
at Hollywood Video back in the day. Yeah, that was
a fantastic job video. He regretted it every day. I
was like a stock in those DVDs.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Then I want you back there, and I'm I never
really quit.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
It was more like, hey, Hollister, I'm done with y'allah. Yeah,
I got a radio career to focus on. I got
finished school.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
It pays less.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Actually, yes, is giving me cancer. I don't need you anymore.
But that was after I got fired from Hollister, and
I was like, so you got fired? Then no, I
got fired. I came back to work.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
George like, I don't know what you mean, what happened Yester?

Speaker 4 (25:03):
And I was like, hey, I was looking for the
new schedule and I don't see myself on the schedule.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
And my boss was like, oh, that's really weird. You
got fired, and I was like, I got wet.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
How do you get clerically fired?

Speaker 4 (25:18):
I went home for Christmas break and instead of transferring
to the store at home, I just was like, I'm
not going to work at all.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
And I guess they needed.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Hours during Christmas break for you to stay on. So
they were just like, clear him out. He hasn't been
here for four weeks and he hasn't reported for now.
But then my boss was just like, we're give us
a week and we'll fix this. And I was back
to work in a week.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
So you were didn't fire?

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I mean I got let those removed.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
There's a.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
But yes, very realistically, if you ask for help with
us helping you quit your job, Yeah, at least pick
up the pick up.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
The damn phone. I want to yell at corporate hills
and not have it affect my life.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Look, marias sad. Now, I'm so sad, terribly. Maybe there's
someone else out there who needs help? Who has a
working phone number?

Speaker 1 (26:06):
True, they definitely need help.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Eight four four ninety five ninety five fifty. Go ahead
and shoot us a text. Tell us what's going on.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
We'll see what we can do. Because all my life
I've been looking for something. How about you found it? Now?

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Here's five or so things with Maris.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Why does he always drop his bands during this part
of the show. I find it discomforting. Oh yeah, it's
a fun guy. That is part of the five things
and not the not the plug, not the plug. I
guess you wouldn't take your pants off from the plug.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Though little dominant Earlier elsewhere, Maria had a little misstep
when we played something and.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
I was trying to be the production element and I
just can't. I gotta stay in my lane as a human.
That's rights pushed the bar human argue. You pushed the
other buttons. Marris pushes the technical button. There we go,
All right, let's get some file.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Crispy Cream Easter collection is here, featuring a bunny basket Hello,
chocolate butter cream and bunny.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Toppers on a donut couch, sorry.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Marshmallow Bunny and a bouncing bunny doughnut. They also have
a strawberry ice classic sprinkled with a.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Magical something or another word I can't use me. Good
on you, Krispy Kream.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
The man survives after crashing into Niagara Falls Gorge.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
He drove his.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Thousand and eight toiled tundra.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Don't know why I did that across the fence into
Niagara Falls.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
They were able to rescue him.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
When they did get to him, he had escaped his car,
made it too sure and now is being checked out
for non life threatening injuries.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
How did he crash?

Speaker 5 (28:00):
I'm never mind him asking for details here it is
thank you, sorry, my apologies.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
And Nevada man was arrested for having seven emotional support tigers.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
God, the man has hobbies. Was this a tiger kingship thing?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
When we were in the pandemic?

Speaker 4 (28:19):
That's okay, no relation, But Carl police showed up to
see my man, Carl on suspicion of resisting arrest, and
when they got there they saw the wildcats. He didn't
have a permit or anything, and then told them that
he didn't need one because these were his emotional support tigers.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
And damn right, you know, Carl, we're good man, You
just we're gonna go just stay there with your tigers.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
How do you think the tigers emotionally support him? I
think he cries to his tigers every night.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
I don't know, and I don't want to find I
will say, like, if things are going wrong in my life,
he would.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Make me feel emotionally much better in more supported.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
You go walk your tigers.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
I had a home full of tiger I remember the
tiger video Michael showed us yesterday.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, that's not going to fly in the house with
seven tigers. Long story short.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Two people, a couple were driving through a safari basically
like where the animals are, and it's like signs everywhere,
don't get out of the car, and they had an
argument and the woman jumped out of the car and
on the edge of the frame of the video you
just see a tiger come up grab her and just
drag her right.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Out of the frame. Yeah, and she died, by the way.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
So Michael just like likes to show us trauma. Stuffy
feeling a little bit altered.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Now crazy as we're wrapping up five things here with
three things from me, and we're going to have one
thing from Maria Palmer.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
As she found what she was looking for because, dear listener,
we were talking about quitting jobs earlier, and this is
my favorite way I've ever quit a job. Went to
CVS and picked out the perfect card. And I'd like
to read that to you now on Rock ninety five
to five. Please cue the music, Maris Harris, I told
you the music, the Marras music didn't down it. Hey, okay,

(29:59):
well I I didn't listen to you. Could you hum
something sad underneath? Please and really paint a picture, make
it real, sad, sadder? Never mind, you know it, don't
change anything. You're perfect, Okay. There are so many lives
she touched in a positive way. Oh perfect, Michael, Well,

(30:23):
I do you know you could sing like that? There
are so many lives she touched in a positive way.
So many memories that bring a smile and show the
wonderful person she was. So many stories about how she
made a difference or made someone's day. So many hearts
that are feeling sadness because she was here, because she

(30:48):
was loved.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
So sorry for your loss. And that's what the card said.
That's the prepackage statement. And then I added on this
is my two weeks notice Maria.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Weird on the street is the train was recently prescribed
SSRIs and is therefore a little less crazy and a
little more stable of a train.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
What's an SSR serotonin?

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Something we have anti depressant.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
There we go like a mood stabilizer.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
And if you can't afford those, you got the morning
mash pit on Rock ninety five five. Bring up your
mood a little tiny bit.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
We are your drug. Well.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
And as we get into summer here, one thing I
love about summer is barbecuing and the foods and everything
that comes along with summer.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I love a good barbecue.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Now, I'm not sure the backyard barbecues are supposed to
be fancy. But here's how to elevate yours. This is
what they're saying. A big story just came out on
how restaurants are offering instead of seafood towers, hot dog
towers because times are tough and seafood's expensive.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
That time out, You got me? I am one kind
of hot dogs? Are we talking about? Are these beef?

Speaker 5 (32:01):
I got me?

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I think you could hear. So here's a picture. Let
me speak this around. It's actually like a tray, like
you know, how like a like a wedding cake.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Looks it's tears, Michael, Yeah, tell me about the sauce.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Oh dude, Well on here the three tiers or the
bottom one is hot dogs, the middle one is fries,
and the top one is just a whole bunch of
different sauces.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Oh my god, I know, now how much is it?
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Let's see. A place in South Carolina called Sir Wieners.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Is literally about to make a leader jump damn.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
It is taking responsibility for the trend. They partnered with
an upscale place called Lamar's Last Fall and added a
hot dog tower to the menu. It has been widely
popular and is taking off online.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
Okay, Chicago, No, we are known for the Chicago style
hot dog.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
We will not be outdone. Yes by South Carolina, somebody.
I do not care.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Hot dog tower, hot dog tower. A pack of hot
dogs is two dollars. Now, I will pay twenty for
this tower. Yeah, like, yes, just give me the hot dogs.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
Why because what because they're gonna upcharge you for the
arrangement of the hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
And yes, in these.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Trying times, please, and that's what you're gonna put your
money down on.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
I don't want to make all those hot dogs. Myself,
I want to have an Instagrammable moment with a hot
dog tower with all the fix for a Chicago style dog.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Give it to me.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
How about you go give me you go pigs in
a blanket. On top, for the middle tier, you do
normal dogs, and on the bottom you do brats.

Speaker 6 (33:31):
Keep talking, okay, because it's like someone was like, we
can't really have a gold bar right now, so what
I have for you instead is some tinfoil that I
spray painted gold.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
And you're luscious. I don't know why you don't like
hot dogs like the rest of us, And I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Know why you're okay with that stand in for seafood. Maria,
you don't have to come to the party.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
I'm not gonna.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
We're having a dog.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Party and I have a lot more interesting Wiener parties
to attend.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Okay, here's what's gonna happen. You go off and you
enjoy your oysters on your side of the we are
going to enjoy our hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Fill paid the same price. That's the cat. No, we're not.

Speaker 7 (34:18):
Yeah, we will know you're well. Look, you pay your
premium for your oysters. We're going to enjoy a reasonably priced.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Hot Dog Tower. It's not reasonably priced. That's my whole point.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
She's slurping oysters and we're down in dogs. I don't
know how I feel about this.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
It's gonna be amazing. Oh my goodness, oysters down.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
And dog.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
The only Leonard I would want to really bang, you know,
not a lot of sexy leonards out there.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
I saw Lenny Kravitz in a halter top was turned on.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Scarf used to it was like bigger than a bed sheet.

Speaker 5 (34:59):
Yeah. He is one of those dudes that is so
perfectly eccentric in a way that is indescribably sexy. Johnny
Depp is like that, you know, before the controversy, but
like the rings and the scarves and the hats.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
He had like the same kind of like I'm weird,
but in a way that makes you want to smash
you know. Yeah, it was there, Yeah, it was there.
Hey boys, what are we doing? Sports?

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Maras starting it off right. Cubs are rolling.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
I was saying during spring and the training that they
were killing it, and they are killing it to kick
off the regular season. The Cubs lead the MLB with
twenty six stolen bases. They stole four more bags last
night to beat the Texas Rangers for the second game
in a row ten two six.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
I'd like to do a quick callback to the Tokyo series. Yes,
you were freaking out. We were in the midst of
a full blown I can't do this all season so bad.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Here you are. They've settled in to the season.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
They're playing the game that they want to play, and
they're being successful, not only against the Dodgers, but the
Padres and now the Rangers.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
And I don't know if I said this yesterday, maybe,
but they they in this month have the hardest schedule
of any MLB team all year.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah. So the Cubs are going through it right now.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
They're playing, going to be playing some great teams this month,
and they are absolutely killing it.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
They played today at one twenty at Wrigley Field.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Uh yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Loss, And it wasn't as bad as the loss to
the Guardians yesterday.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
People are one.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
People are already saying that they they're on track to
beat their worst record in MLB history last year.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Hey, you know what, we got to win somewhere. It's
still fun.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
They made it a historic year last year. They do
it again. Yesterday Cools played the Caves.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Yeah that's not even fair, you know, father versus Sonaliers.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Oh yeah, I thought, says for sure. Yeah, I mean
I know you, Yeah you did.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
It's just a little As the Bulls are getting ready
for this play in the Caves are one of the
teams they could potentially play in the playoffs, and I
was like, this will be a good test. It went terrible,
and like I was scrolling and I saw, oh, Bulls
are on a twelve point run. What I didn't realize

(37:24):
was that it didn't matter because they were getting.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Keats thirty points down. So the Bulls lost yesterday, and
it just it's stung.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
A little bit. It's a cavalie. It's a person. Did
you don't know what kind of person, but is a person.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Did you know there's a new bleacher bum at Wrigley Field.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Oh, a Canada goose has taken up residents in a
planter box in deep center field, forcing the Cubs to
block off a section of bleacher seats to keep the peace.

Speaker 9 (37:53):
Oh, they're not trying to disturb the goose. Yes, wow, yeah,
maybe we can have the goose. I could be a
new uh like you have you have cut the cub
as the mascot. Maybe we have a goose now, a
baby goose you could hatch on the field. You could
have a big fake egg.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
You're gonna have some baby geese.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
I just and then when you lose your game, you
can be like, oh we got a goose egg, we
got goose, we got goost o talk.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Oh no, don't get goosed, get too soon.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
A dozen of the bleacher seats are cording off with
signs and everything else, and they have staff and security
posted up around the goose to keep keep the peace.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
That's fair because keepers, Oh I love is incredible.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
But it's also very fair because getting drunk at Wrigley
with a bunch of old style that goose would be fighting, yes,
and a.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Goose might just win on Kong.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
The term cavalier was first used by roundheads as a
term of abuse for the wealthier royalist supporters of Charles
the First of England and his son Charles a Second
or established civil War.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
I'm sorry that I want to learn his read. Nobody
was trying to figure out what was and there was
be more educated on sports.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
And it's rhetoric, but Maris does not support education, not today.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Now here's a bit only it's sad time.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Both of you.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
We're getting ready for Fun to the Head, the trivia
game where we answer questions for you.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
If we answer wrong, we get shot by nerve darts.
It's that simple.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
We have a four pack of Chicago Wolves tickets up
for grabs as they are playing the Texas Stars and
All State Arena on a Sunday, April thirteenth. And this
is also a big game because it is Family Sunday
along with their annual celebration for first responders. So if
you come out early to the game, you'll be able

Yes? We are, Ye, Donny Boy, not much. What's up guy?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
You sound like you're driving where you headed?

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Well, don, welcome to Fun to the Head and thanks
for joining us. You have a very simple decision. Who's
going to answer trivia questions for you today and potentially
get shot with nerve darts.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
When you delayed? I surely thought. I surely thought you
were going to go.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Maybe I want Michael to as becoming smarter. Has it
been two weeks, Michael?

Speaker 2 (41:27):
I think it has since I've been picked.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
All right. They do like to pick you a lot,
but I know because you win. Yeah, and that's fine.
That's a thing.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
All right, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
What type of liquor is traditionally made by distilling fermented
grains and aging in wooden barrels?

Speaker 7 (41:45):
Oh?

business up in Harry Don.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Do you have a favorite type of whiskey?

Speaker 1 (41:57):

Speaker 2 (41:57):
I usually drink vodka, but my wife likes so comfort.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
And also crazy. That's my favorite combination. I like her immediately.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Oh my god, that's amazing. All right.

Speaker 5 (42:13):
Question number two, which Chicago Blackhawks captain led the team
to three Stanley Cup championships between twenty ten and twenty fifteen.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
I was gonna say, I have two options.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Don go ahead? Did you say, yeah, yeah, well done.
I assume that's how that's pronounced. It is, okay, it

Speaker 2 (42:49):

Speaker 5 (42:56):
Nameless soda pop that is both served cold in a
can or bottle and hot with a slice of lemon.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
What I've never heard of. It originated in Waco, Texas.
Makes sense. This is a big soda brand, the worst one.
But wow, that's super not one of the best ones.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Oh, how dare you?

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Oh my god? Help? Yeah, just through your terrible opinion.
Do you have an idea what this might be? Lemon?
I would say maybe no, but I understand why.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Think about if you poured all the sodas together and
then pete in a cup.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Kind of gives it away a little bit.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Oh yeah, it mountain dew.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Oh no, all the SODA's in the cup. I thought
would give it away, but it didn't. It is doctor pepper.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Doctor yeah, Michael, you don't like it? Is foul out
a nupshot.

Speaker 5 (43:57):
Yeah, I'm going to love you into liking doctor Cover
in the opposite way, I'm sorry, is there negative path
loving or calling it palmering?

Speaker 2 (44:06):
I'll shoot you.

Speaker 5 (44:07):
It's when I torture you into the behavior I want
from you. Just wow, you'll be into it.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Eight four.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Fifty does not want to get palmer.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
The issues that they do. Buddy, Okay, all.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Right, Don, let's get this last one to get you
These tickets.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
Which popular comic book series created by Gerard Way, was
adapted into a Netflix series in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Are you going to get it? Do you know this?

Speaker 2 (44:37):
It looks frustrated.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
I can't tell you the celebratory or frustrated Umbrella Academy.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Oh yeah, gotta.

Speaker 4 (44:46):
We were pretty hard, Don. What you weren't seeing was
me just shaking gyrating get the words of that comic
book out of my system.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
I was trying to think it out.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
I have to move around all over see, like the
little marble in your machine trying to work.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Its way down.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
You got somewhere, and Don's going to see the Chicago
there you are all set there on their way to
the playoffs. They're getting ready with a nice little tune
up with the Texas Stars.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
You got a four pack? Are you taking to this
game with you?

Speaker 1 (45:23):
My wife and kids constantly happy to get you.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Back into the swing of things. Done, you are all set.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
And for everyone else that wants to get out and
go support the Wolves, get your tickets at ticketmaster dot com.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
This is Wolves Hockey.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
It's time to dirk out, dork we.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Shall and there will be a grand meeting, the Grand
Meeting that's C two e two this weekend.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
If you are not ready, Saturday is sold out.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
You can't get single day for Saturday, but Friday and
Sunday are still available. And I've got a few little
tips and tricks to help you get through the weekend. First,
and for most, download the C two e two app
ahead of time.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
I got to do that.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
There's nothing worse than getting on site realizing you don't
know where you're going and the app is stalling because
every content creator, every person, and everybody in that building
is trying to access the internet and cell phone waves
all at the same time.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Wait what happens on the app?

Speaker 4 (46:38):
You've got maps of the event, you have a list
of panels. Oh yeah, you can find out where your
favorite artists are. You can see what specific celebrity signing
times are.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
It's such a cute little app. They only have twenty
six reviews.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
It's new for each year, so they'll probably get more
as people continue to download because they're listening to the
Morning Much Pitch also to help you plan and price
out which celebrities you want to get photos or autographs with.
So also plan ahead for that and be ready for lines,
because that's just going to be a thing. Activate your
badges if you have them in advance. It's just a

(47:15):
safety feature.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Can I do that online? Yeah, you can do that online,
or you can do it on the C two E
two app that I just told you. Is there a
C two E two app?

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Okay, that seems like that'd be a good idea. Does
anybody know if there's a C two two app?

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Actually I have another question, real quick one. It's about
giveaways for next week.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Can I just texted us about this?

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Hey? Mary?

Speaker 4 (47:38):
Before we get there, I would also like to talk
about cosplay being you have to ask for consent.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Maria.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Please hold, I think Maria has got a question.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
There's no better way to do this then here we go.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
So, Also, cosplay is not consent, So as you are
walking up to other people in cosplay, are sure to
ask them permission before you take pictures. And for the
grace of God, everyone everybody collectively put two strokes of
deodorant on together, because we as a collective all going

(48:16):
to be hot and sweaty in a room together, and
we should all have on deodorant. Now, for Michael, Maria,
how can I help you?

Speaker 1 (48:28):
I just wanted to know if next week we maybe
had kids, Bob.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
We will find out. In Commercial Free Music that is
next on Rock ninety five five. It is the morning
Matt Fit on Rock ninety five five. This is where
we take time to just say thank you to you
because we are ninety five minutes commercial free, the only
way we know you like it.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Oh, I didn't mean.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
I did not mean to me. Did it happened? Yes,
it did? All right, Michael, let's get to this rock
report and it's killed.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
This is pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Actually, I remember earlier in the show, I was telling
you that I lived in a place called West Seattle. Yeah,
and I moved there because Edievetter lives in that part
of town. Well, there's a guy there in town that
owns a record store. It's called Easy Street Records, and
he's like, he is one of the people who like
not knowing people don't know him. But he was instrumental
in the rock in the nineties grunge scene. He played

(49:25):
all of them. No, so he is actually got his
hands on the infamous Melvin's touring van that Kirk Cobain
would drive around to local Seattle shows.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
That's cool. It even still has the kiss.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
Logo that Kirk painted on the side of the van,
and they're actually going to feature it outside of Easy Street.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Records in West Seattle.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
That's really awesome.

Speaker 5 (49:46):
That's really cool. I don't think we should just toss
around the word infamous. I never even knew about that
van until right now, and now that I know about it, that.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Is really cool.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Look at it.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
It's I can't be like Kurt Cobain's famous van that
no one knew about before.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
It looks like a van from the Night about the Van.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Did you know about the van? I knew that.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I knew there was a van, but I didn't know anything.
Yeah early, So it's kind of.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Interesting tossing around infamous Mark office everywhere right now.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Yeah, yes, he been around.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
He has come out.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
He's doing tons of interviews because he's got his book
coming out, and he says that he was contemplating suicide
while writing the song Adams song No Kidding, Yeah, very
dark song. He's told a La Times quote, I have
a very hard time with that song. I wrote that
song when I was in a really bad place. Our
band was taking off and we were signed to a
major label. Isn't that ironic? Yeah, the band's taking off,
you're signed to a major label, and you're contemplating suicide.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
That actually makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 5 (50:36):
Yeah, when you have depression, you don't know that you
have depression, and you're just convinced that life actually sucks.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Then you try to make your life better and then
your life gets better and you're like.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
I'm still sad, so I guess nothing's gonna.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Work, so now I want to be out.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
There's an immense level of pressure once you go from
having fun with your guys in a band and then.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Oh, we're signed and we have to make you money, right. Well,
he said he bought a big house and he was lonely.
You would come home from tour and sit in the
empty house by himself. He said he felt professionally fulfilled
but personally empty in many many ways. He says when
we got back together as a band, I would start
I would start the song every night of the tour
by saying I wrote this song back in the day
when I was in a bad place, and it saved
my life. This band Tom and Travis saved my life

(51:14):
a second time when I was sick with cancer.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
So this song's about that feeling.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
There you go. I love how sincere they've become as
like it growed.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
Up they really did, but still out there having a blast.
I got those d F jokes going on.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Banter is still top notch, which is our favorite version
of growing up.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Yes, I guess this is growing up.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
I guess this is growing up. Give me a bell day.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
And nobody likes you when you're twenty three, Michael, but
nobody likes you at all.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (51:51):
I imagine the Highway to Hell being like an Autobahn
style road where there's no speed limit. You can go
so fast and you're just cruise in and then you
know when you run into a traffic jam and it
ruins your entire life.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
That that's where we reached the house, the Hell part.
It's like a bond.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
Cruising like hell yeah, and then traffic jam and you
can't go anywhere an hours an hour.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Yeah yeah, that's right. We're living through hell every single day.
On the morning. Mash bitch n let's go, what are
we doing boys? Text time?

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Let's do it eight four four ninety five fifty. You
can get your texts in at any time, all throughout
the morning and all through the days.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
From the seven to eight.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
We're talking about robot Oh yeah, human robot war earlier,
they said, and then we were talking about that. They've
taken the DNA of a wolf and brought it back. Okay,
they're taking things that are extinct now and bringing them back.
From the seven to eight, what if the robot team up?
What if the robots team up with the wolves? Robot wolves, they're.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Just working dire wolves.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
Weirdly, I'm okay with that because it's not human. I
don't the human robots there would be.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
There would be the real robots too, not not one thing.
It's what if there's robots and the wolves and they
team up together.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Oh yeah, and then.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
The robots start producing more wolves or other extinct animals.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
I will say, And this is where I lose the
inevitable human versus robot, or I trust the wolves. If
the wolves are trusting robots over us, there's a reason.
That's man best man, best friend, and they're choosing the computer.
They're like iPad kids, but a different species.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
We're talking about crazy ways to save money wrestling.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Joe hit us up.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
He says, my money saving practice is are Number one,
work out at home, so no gym membership. Number two
meal prep instead of takeout. That is my worst thing. Yeah,
I'm so lazy. Number three have no social life.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Oh I checked.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
I wanted to go to the Cubs game last night,
and I was telling myself literally basically sitting on my hands,
going just watch it at home. Dude, Yeah, don't mean to.
And I'm like doing the math of how cheap I
could get there?

Speaker 1 (53:58):
T tickets?

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Oh like you get go to Cubs game last night
for nine bucks? Oh it wasn't that. It's the transportation,
the beers when I get there, the.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Five dollars train ride. Okay, so we're at you know fifteen, Yeah,
get there, get a couple of beers.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Beers you get in at least two that's forty bucks, and.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
You know, can you get shooters into Wrigley. Somebody text me.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Now, I've been wondering about this because they have the
big scanners, and I'm just wondering. If I were to
put a shooter in my pocket, that saves me buying
a beer, It saves me twenty bucks in your pocket
talking about a shot, yeah, liquor a nip, yeah, like yeah,
oh yeah, yes, yes, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
Yeah, to be clear, all right, yeah, I don't think
in your pocket would work, but there are other places
that you could put it that you could probably smuggle
it in.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Oh but oh yeah, that took. We were talking earlier
on the show about how we got breaks.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Maria got a break. She was a bartender and our
boss saw her being awesome as a bartender and said, hey,
you should be on the radio.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Yeah kind of sort of.

Speaker 5 (54:58):
Well I wasn't an awesome bartender, but what I was
doing behind the bar would have translated awesomely to the radio.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
And here we are.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
He's like, that's a podcast.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
Yeah, Marris, yours was? You got tickets? What was it? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (55:09):
Ended up landing tickets to see Calvin Johnson and Peanut
Tilman's last game at Soldier Field.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
That's so coolte mind what this From the eight one
to five. This guy follows me now on social media
is a huge Pearl Jam guy. Oh nice, And he said, Michael,
you're living my dream. I need to meet Eddie Vedder
someday because I met it ran into him at the
DMV hashtag Pearl Jam is the best band in the world.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
Correct, Oh, here's a good one. Yeah, can I can?
I of course I'm in.

Speaker 5 (55:32):
From the two to one, we were talking earlier about
C two e two this weekend and how there's an
app that you can download and they wanted to know
with the C two e two app if we could
get kids bought tickets anyword on that?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Marese No sum.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Rock ninety five fives Chicago is in a rock station.

Closing this like you open it.

Speaker 2 (55:58):

thing like the kids do.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
But they go, well, they go oh yeah, yeah halfway.

Speaker 5 (56:08):
But it is weird that kids are doing it because
they are making fun of cornstar sounds.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Oh is that what it is?

Speaker 5 (56:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, because they always do that fake
voice in those videos.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
It's like, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's horrible. There was
a woman at a Yankees game, and she goes, can
I get a?

Speaker 1 (56:27):
And they're like, shut out, Yeah, this is a baseball game.
I will say it is fun to walk into a
crowded room and go can I get a?

Speaker 5 (56:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (56:35):
And hear a bunch of people going, oh yeah, it's
a good time.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
You gotta get around the right people.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
And the forty or fifty year old dudes that she
was surrounded by were just angry.

Speaker 5 (56:46):
You know what's interesting as we will be soon in
a crowded room and I have a feeling if we initiate, ah, yeah,
we'll probably get one. But we're not going to talk
about that today. We're gonna talk about that tomorroworrow for
thirst day.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Oh are you finally gonna make the announcement?

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Well, you already do so. I guess, like, what's the point?
You know?

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Why do that?

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Why even bother? Well, I have this whole thing that
I've set up for two years.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
I've been trying to get to this point.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
But yeah, Michael, you go ahead and you take the
announcement from me. I want you to do it.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Okay, rewind life for a second. You didn't hear that that.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
That's a secret. I can't hit the dump button. That
many times.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
Dump button big enough for the dumps that come out
of Michael's mouth every goddamn morning on this show.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
We're gonna take you off a few emails.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
And add you to some other ones with maybe HR. Yes,
my buddy, we don't have an HR department. No, not
one that helps. Sorry clarifying they don't do anything.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
