a first inning of a baseball game that went over
an hour yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, you had quite the Chicago experience this weekend.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
What the heck was going on out there? The crazy
thing was is, you know, the Cubs get up, they
start the game, and we're just sitting out there and
we're like thirty five pitches in going what is going on?
The Crowd's starting to turn on them. Yeah, finally we
get you know, it goes to the bottom of the

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Oh like yeah, who are these pictures?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Oh yeah, it looked like it was a day.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, we'll talk about that too far.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I was gonna say, don't blow it all.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, first I get excited.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
We know, we know nerd news.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, you're not gonna be happy if you're trying to
get that pre order on a Nintendo Switch.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Is the first time I about a game, want to
buy a game console in years and now I can't
get it.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I can't get the pre order. Well you can't get
the pre order. It's gonna come through, but uh yeah,
it's not gonna be fun.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
We have a new king of casual restaurant dining like
the chain restaurants, the Olive Garden. Maria is gonna be
very upset about this. The Olive Garden is no.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Longer number one, being dethroned.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, I'll tell you who.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
And then of course fun to ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
At eight today we have tickets for you to see
the Neil Young Coastal Movie. It's a docuseries put together

miss Mariee.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
But we got you, Yeah, we got you. Eight four
four five fifty text.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Us w C HI Weather with our air quote meteorologist
Michael ya.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Ya's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. No, it
better not, it kind of does. I hate to say this,
but snow flurries this afternoon. High temperature of thirty eight.
I was walking in today. It is cold and windy,
so bundle up and then gonna get down to twenty
nine degrees tonight. I'm sorry, twenty five degrees. Twenty five Marris,

(02:43):
he's out of control out there. Tomorrow's gonna be pretty
nice though, sunny, but even a higher thirty nine then,
and even all week literally we don't get to fifty degrees.
It's just cold. I hate to be the bearer of
bad news. But hot, damn. Grab a jacket. Yeah, cold damn.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I mean I grabbed mine.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I was like, it.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Was okay all weekend, and I was like I don't
need it, Oh take you just in case, and I
grabbed it.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
And I was shocked when I got in my car
and I was like, it's kind of it's.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Over I thought exactly, So grab a jacket's gonna be
a little chilly today. And then are people getting arrested
in movie theaters?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It happened over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
And this isn't a kid's movie.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, it's for reasons that you wouldn't expect, but we'll
dive into it.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay, Next on Rock ninety five to five, it's Rocking
ninety five five. Big traffic update.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
There's a big closure on Lake Shore Drive between Roosevelt
and Balboa, and that's being backed.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Up all the way down fifty five.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, they were just turning cars around.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, they've got a full reroute going. So if you're
headed into the city from fifty five, you might want
to try to get on it ninety ninety four to
get downtown.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Other words, you're gonna be sitting in traffic for just
a second.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Did they say what it was was in an accident?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I didn't catch all of that.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I just know there's a closure northbound, and then two
lanes are closed going southbound, So just try to avoid
that as best as possible. Who damn not as bad
as going to the movies this weekend?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, what is the deal? Now now, the Minecraft movie
opened this weekend. I heard it made a ton of money.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
It did make a lot of significant money. They made
one hundred and fifty seven million dollars domestically, breaking records.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
As far as video game movies go.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
So yeah, those I like to see this kind of
momentum going as more video game movies are going.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
To hit production. But but what I saw from.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
The weekend was a lot of chaos. So I don't
know much about Minecraft.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I know it's a building game. It was.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
I've never gotten into it, and I've never questioned anybody
who played it, except there is a hype around this
movie that I do not understand.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
And Jack Black, Jason Momoa.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yes, r great personalities or actors in a movie. But
there's a lot of disturbances. Well, I won't say a lot.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
There's some isolated disturbances that have been floating around the
internet where there's an immense amount of cheering. Okay, and
I'm like, okay, cheering is cool in a movie. But
then I'm seeing water being thrown being thrown, thorn being thrown,
and again, these are these are a few outliers as
far as what's being recorded, which I'm also thinking why

(05:27):
are you recording?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Why you're in a theater?

Speaker 3 (05:29):
But there's just so much hype behind the meme culture.
We've been told as far as how Minecraft is being
put out there, that the fans are just so into it.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
And again I'm like that.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Is it people into it or are people just acting foolish?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I think they're trying to it seems like some people
are trying to make a moment, okay, And there were
some gentlemen that got arrested or arrested led out of
theater because they were trying to make too much of
a moment. In the video that is floating around on
TikTok and social right now, it looks like about five
young men they were sitting up front, and I can
only imagine what they were doing before this that they

(06:05):
had to one stop the movie, get the cops involved,
because them.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Ten minutes to get there, right, Yeah, So.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
You can't ask an usher to just usher the kids
out for whatever reason because of their kids. I'm getting
them out. But whatever they were doing, it was too much.
It's too big.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
You're ruining the movie theater experience for everybody else.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
And it's fine. We when I saw.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Endgame, for Avengers, there was that moment that pop, that's
everybody was cheering, right, everybody is cheering, and we're defling
that moment together. There there was a moment during Black
Panther two at the beginning of the movie. I swear
everybody was crying at the same time. It was just
really but it's like, that's the.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Fun of going to the movie.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yes, that's the fun of going to the movie. But
then you can go too far.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
And it seems like a lot of the videos that
I was watching of what was happening in the theaters,
everybody's got their phones up, everybody's got their flight and
I'm just like, all right, we have.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
A new generation.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Who go to the movies that far don't know how
to act in public.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
That part.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
And we already grew up with the people talking in
the movies, the people on that phone, and.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
You're just going, hey, keep it down right, all right, Hey,
sorry man.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
You go get an usher, you tell them to get
out or calm down, and that's how it got handled.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
But now it's just almost like.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
The food throwing, the drink throwing. If I'm going to have.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
A problem, if I worked at a movie theater, oh
my god.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Hey you got some patience?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
What about seat kickers? You ever had somebody kick in
your seat?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Dude, listen, we all are here in a place where
there's a there's a like unwritten rules of respect that
we should have. Let's let's do a little better. And
if you have kids that are out acting like a fool,
control your kids.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I mean, yes, there's a lot of that. Did you
see Minecraft this weekend with your kids? Eight four four
nine ninety five fifty? Did you see any high jinks
in the theater while you were there? Tell us all
about it, because I think we had a new generation
that's a experiencing movies differently.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's true. You know what theater? There was no hijinkson?
Was that snow White lost one hundred million dollars? Incredible?
Oh my gosh, but Minecraft made a hundred million.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Minecraft is very happy. The snow White movie didn't do
very well. Absolutely possible. Snow This afternoon, I have thirty
eight degrees Rock ninety five five, Chicago's rock station. What
do you got, maries?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Very quickly turn your GPS on if you're heading anywhere
into Chicago today.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Lake Shore Drive is shut down between Roosevelt and Balboa,
North and South.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, just completely.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, so just just beware, but we are here to
keep you entertained for whatever traffic that you're stuck in.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Especially after Jack Black was on SNL.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Always a great time to have him out because one,
he's very musically.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I heard this was funny.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Two he's funny, and three's Jack Black and we love
Jack Black. And the first clip that was just going
around after SNL was Jack Black spoofing the Black Parade.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Where that was my young Boy, my graphic novels.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Vacation. I would love to be in the writer room
with Jack Black.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Or anybody when you're just coming up with this creative stuff,
because I don't have when's the last time you watched SNL.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
It was a couple of weeks ago. Oh really, yeah,
but but before that hadn't been in a long time.
You always was when Shangdillis was on.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, oh you see the clips and the clips are
always some of the best parts of anything that you
experienced with SNL.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And everybody was like, oh, it's not the same as
it used to be.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
No, it is times, Yeah, yeah, they're gonna be missus.
Was this show didn't miss though, just like this.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Show, and by the way, that is the fun of it.
You know, you say writer room before the show starts.
Each day we're in here like throwing ideas around, coming
up with stuff. Some of my favorite parts of the day.
It's fun to be creative.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, it's it's the best part just getting that using
your brain in that way.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Well, and especially when like having Jack Black come in.
If I'm a writer on SNL, I'm like, gonna be
an easy week.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's exciting.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, because this guy's good.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
You know, he's been thinking about it, he's got the ideas,
he's prepped, and from the musical side to just him
acting as Jack Black. I mean you could sit and
talk to Jack Black for an hour and that's SNL. Yeah,
you know, yeah for sure. But then they also had
another moment where you remember Live TV is live during
weekend Update, they were making fun of the filibusters going on,

(10:48):
and then this accident happened.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I had not fell a bust.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
So the setup, yeah, is a call and response where
she's asking these men ain't and then everybody in the audience,
without even thinking say the ass way I can't scream
it out.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
But on TV TV No, you know, And it's.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Just it was just so funny because you see the
faces of the guys on Weekend Update and they're just like,
oh no, that's dollars five?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
What did we just do? And it played off very well.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
But it's just a reminder it is live TV, and
if you're at SNL, you're part of the audience.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Didn't Wasn't there a famous thing where Pamela Anderson went
topless on SNL?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I don't remember that.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
I think she did and it became this huge Yeah,
she took her top off.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm looking at it right now. I mean I'm not
looking at it. I'm here, but I'm looking at like
a still. And there's been some crazy live stuff that happened,
Morgan Mall. I'm walking off the set live the other
day that part. There's all kinds of weird things that happened.
But Jack Black always always fun to see.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes on the way, Michael. A food review from your weekend.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
I went to Wrigley and I tried some of the
specialty foods. I found the donut, which is actually really
hard to find because well I'll tell you why.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, yeah, coming up next.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
I've never seen a Smashing Pumpkins live and that's a
failure on me really. But when they come with that
orchestra later this year in November, we will be in
the building. Yeah, that's going to be one to experience,
Like you got to experience some amazing new food.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
On an our side, I.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Was in the building this weekend at Wrigley Field yesterday
and I decided to go. I mean, we've been talking
about the great foods that they have at the stadiums
this year. Wriggly no exception. So I went and tried
some of them. Now, all the specialty foods, I'm gonna
tell you some things I learned, can be found at
the Marquee Classics food section.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Okay, where's that at Michael.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's like right when you want. It's the biggest food section,
like on the first level. But we were walking around
looking for the specialty foods, thinking they're going to be
in a little place, hidden away or something. Now it's
in the big one right there, easy to find. And
as we were talking about last week, when certain teams
come to town, they have different like if the Red Sox
are playing, they have a lobster roll. Right, these are
the three foods that I tried. First of all, we

(13:09):
talked about the donut.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, that donut, the.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Injectable donut that looks like a baseball when you get it.
It comes in like a little plastic case, which it did.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
And it's themed off of an old school donut that
they used to serve outside the park.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, I guess back in the day in the parking
lot of Wrigley there was a donut like a stand
called Yum Yum Donuts, Okay, and they had a little
baseball donut. So they're sort of theming it that way.
You got it, then you can pick either like strawberry filling,
which is red or blueberry, and you inject it. Right
the here's my rating system. I'm rating it in Sears Towers.

(13:43):
It was a three out of five Sears Towers.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Three out of five is a donut.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
It wasn't fresh. Oh, so I thought that maybe when
we got there, they would be making them fresh and
you'd get the donut and you'd inject it and it'd
be warm and all that.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's a lot of production, it.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Is, but I mean, listen for twenty dollars doughnut. That's
the other reason it lost a point. Okay, that's a
spendy donut. Okay, now, I ate it. There will be
a review coming later online. I did a video of it.
It tasted good, it's fine, yeah, but when it comes
to donut, I'm a little picky.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
So we're going to three out of five Sears Towers
for the Wrigleyfield injectable donut. The kim Chi Berger.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh, you can't mess that up.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Two out of five it had no flavor. Mare, Oh,
it didn't have enough flavor. And there was like two
full patties with a little bit of a slaw on top.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
It wasn't man, it just wasn't enough. That's disappointing.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Again. These foods, by the way, my wallet is crying today.
They're not cheap out there.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
I wasn't gonna imagine the specialty items are going to be.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Hey, I took one bite of the kim chiese. So
two out of five Sears Towers on that. Now, okay,
the big winner, We have a winner. I'm giving it
five out of five Sears Towers. Okay, Spicy pork bow.
These things are absolutely incredible. I'm my mouth's watering right
now just thinking about it tons of flavor. They're basically

(15:05):
like little tacos, little Asian tacos in little puffy taco
not crunchy though, like a soft taco. Like yeah, oh
my god, and it was absolutely incredible.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Are you sure these weren't the puffy tacos?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
They didn't have the puffy tacos. They are a specialty item.
They weren't there there next week. Oh okay, so I
didn't get to try that, but yes, if you're going
get the sticky pork bow.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
They're in town or won't they be ending with us
San Diego leaving?

Speaker 1 (15:30):
You can see on their website they are like week,
some of them are two weeks, some of them are
a week, and then there's very specialty ones like when
the Red Sox come to town, stuff like that. So
it's kind of all over the place, but pretty fun,
pretty good food and a crazy game out there yesterday.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, and if you've tried any of these food items,
let us know.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, what's your favorite at Wrigley? Yeah, they had lime
fries was one of the new ones. I didn't try.
We got garlic fries in the helmet.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
That sounds so good, but yes, Texas eight four four, nine, five,
ninety five fifty as.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
We're going to be talking number one in fast casual.
Next on Rock ninety five to five, it is the
Morning Mashpit. I am Maris, I'm Michael.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Maria's out today.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
She's hiving it up. Oh geez, she went camping. I
got a Texas Morning Up, said I got hives, so
don't come in.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, let me just you know, browing it.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Up, Yeah, browing it up. But talking food, a lot
of food. We'll talk about Wrigley Field Food. And now
there is a new top casual dining chain in America.
It was the Olive Garden. Okay, the beautiful establishment, various
breadstick options.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh my god, survived on that in college. Dude.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I love the I still you know what I know,
all right. I know it's not like the best Italian food,
but I love a good Olive Garden meal.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
It's just it's it hits sometimes.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Not as much as I love this though. Texas Roadhouse
has replaced the Olive Garden as America's top casual dining chain.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
So I think of Texas Roadhouse in the same way
that I think of Olive Garden. It's a good experience,
it's it's not going to be the steakhouse, not the
Italian restaurant, but it's a good time.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
They went down a notch for me when they ditched
the peanuts, And I know people are allergic to peanuts,
but I loved having the peanuts all over I don't
know what it was.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
The messy floor I love. I loved it so much.
Did you.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Can somebody clean this place up?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Or you go to try to take a date there
when you're younger and you put your nice shoes on
and I got peanut.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Dust all over it.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
But you can also munch on the peanuts, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Mean I would.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
It always threw me off because it's like, all right,
the rolls, this is this is this is like the
equivalent of the bread sticks. And then you have the
cinnamon butter and it's just like, okay, I know I'm
gonna have a steak or something along the lines after that.
But then they put these hot rolls in front of me.
You smell the cinnamon butter and then you put it

(17:49):
on and it.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Melts so perfectly because it's a hot butne and it
just you're full over here.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
If you had to pick between one of the other
breadsticks or ooh, you can only have one for the
rest of your life.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Oh, that's brad sticks are buns. I'm going to go
with brad sticks.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh, I'm going with buns.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I like I think I like the savory side of
the bread stick a little bit more than the sweet
and salty of the buns.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, all right. By the way, the coming in next Chili's, Applebee's,
Buffalo Wild Wings topping out the or around and out
the top five? There?

Speaker 2 (18:26):
What is this list?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Last year, Texas Roadhouse reportedly saw fourteen percent increase in sales,
putting in five point five billion, which cited Technomics ranking
of the top five hundred largest restaurant chains in the country.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
That's insane.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Congratulations, people like their steak.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I don't even know if I know where a Texas
Roadhouse is around here?

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, text us eight four four ninety five to fifty.
Where's the closest Texas roahouse? Maybe we go for lunch?
Rock ninety five to five Chicago's Rock Station, A little
chance for snur later in the day. You gotta be ready.
It's we already got crazy traffic problems going on. It
could be even worse this afternoon.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, I hope not.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I mean it's not gonna stick, right, it's not supposed
to stick. Okay, but you know it would be great
is to be able to get the hell out of
here for a week. Oh yeah, we just did that.
We're lucky enough to get to go to Disney World,
and we want to send you to Disney World. You
win your family.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, and it's real easy. Just listen to the iHeart
app thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, you got to listen on the iHeart app. So
when you when you sign on the heart app, it's
gonna ask you for your email basically so it can
send you a note if you win the trip.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah. Oh, I mean we're going to reach out.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh are we going to call them?

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Cool? Yeah, sometimes they just email people. Yeah, I mean,
so we'll find out with the winners and call them
on the air.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
We want to include them and give them tips on
what to do at Disney and how we experience and
what they're excited about.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Get them involved with it.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I have a tip on what to do at Disney
was that everything?

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, Jess, if you get the chance, and this is
kind of trip where you could do that. Basically, we're
taking care of you. And all you got to do
is listen on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Thirty minutes and you know you want to listen longer
than that as it is, so just knock it out.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
We are talking micro habits to help you grow money.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Oh God, I need this.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
I think we all do.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
So It's like things you could do maybe in your
daily life that are going to add up in the
long run.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I like that a lot.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
I need this.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
It's on the way on Rock ninety five to five
Rock ninety five five today in Front to the Head,
we will be giving away the Neil Young Coastal Movies
tickets with fan dangle pair of tickets going.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Out for you. Just put the trivia game with me
and Michael today. What are you gonna do to help
us save some money?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Michael, I got micro habits that increase your wealth by
a lot. Now, okay, any sort of growth. It's smart
to you know, step by step, yes, one foot in
front of the other, right, day by day, be consistent.
Eventually all that stuff adds up over time. Well. Financial
influencer known as the money Confidential on Instagram has a
list of things you can do to you know better

(20:56):
your finances. Yeah, one opt for store brands. Okay, so
instead of getting you know whatever, peanut butter, right, get
the generic store brand peanut butter.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I hear that.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
I like the idea. I do too, but it doesn't
taste the same, doesn't Ketchup's a good example. Catch up hines,
give me whatever? Oh really? Yeah, I don't like an
off brand.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Catch I don't peanut butter. I'm very specific about like
there's I can see this in situations like there's got
to be some trade off. I can't do it for everything. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, we want to hear from you. Eight four four
nine fifty. How do you save money? What little thing
do you do to save money? We'll read some of
those in text time. This is interesting, they say. And
I should have done this yesterday. Hit the Cubs game
pause before purchasing. Implement a twenty four hour waiting period
before making non essential purchases.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Man, I am so trigger happy when it comes to
a purchase. So you and me both man think about
it later.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Limit social media use. Reducing time spent on social platforms
can decrease exposure to advertisements and the temptation to make
impulse buies. Ads get me these days, the algorithms are
too good.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
They're good, but they're also repetitive after I've bought something
that they told me about.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
So like I had a family friend tell me about
Basil Hayden whiskey. Okay, I still get ads for this
after I got it, and it's just like stop it.
There needs to be I have bought this option.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Ye give me something else to buy. Yes, they'd probably
like that too. Here's another one, Mary Rich. Wait, never mind,
that's just that's just a good idea in general. That's
just personal goals, limits of social media. We do it
cover cook more at home.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, that's just something I.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
Know, ordering out in this city, ordering out in general,
and then you add in uber eats and the tipping
and the driving fees, and it just it adds up
so fast.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Well even these days, like going to you know, a
small play like a Chick fil a or something way
more expensive than it used to be. Yeah, it's crazy,
all right. They say use cash for discretionaries spending. My
wife swears by this. Paying with cash for non essential
items will make you more aware of what you're spending
than when you're out of cash. You're out of cash,
you don't grab for that credit card. That makes sense,

(23:13):
the coops game of more void lifestyle inflation. As your
income increases, strive to maintain your current standard of living
to allocate more funds towards savings and investments. No, we're
really hitting us hard today, aren't they.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
I want the thing, I need the new video games.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I need the switch.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, we do.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
My mom would give me the switch if she saw
the way I spend money home. Go pick your switch.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
You know your mom never hit you a switch.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
She tries to be like, get go, get something, Go
get me something to spank you with, And I'd come
back with the like a piece of paper. I just
have paper cuts all over my half. What do you
do to save money? Eight four to four fifty five
ish things?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
You almost certainly need to know.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
What's a hell of a community service.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'll tell you that much.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
All right, let's kick out five things with fire festival
tuneers is just hit another speed bump. The first location
got denied. They just said absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
I thought this thing was like good to go. Nope, no,
no surprise.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I love moohead.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
This was the first location and it got denied by
the Mexican government. And then they came in and said
pliadel Carmen was going to be the second location. Now
the Mexican government is backing out, saying no, we're not
going to allow this to happen at padel Carmen, and
fire festivals like no, we have receipts of approval, and

(24:44):
Mexican Government's like absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
So it's just a lot of limbo. All this to
say that the new festival's coming up on May thirtieth,
and they still haven't announced an artist or a performer,
but they took all that money up front too. At
the same time.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
First they did a YouTuber is looking at some jail
time as he went to go and visit an isolated
indigenous tribe illegally heard about. He's an American YouTuber and
I can't pronounce his name, so I'm not going to
try the scentill. These people live on a forested island
in the Indian Ocean, and typically people who do get

(25:23):
past and go to the island end up debt. Yes,
And it was like the Indian government doesn't even question it.
But somehow he made it on the island and left
a coconut and a can of coke.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
I was going to say, I heard about the can
of coke. I hope it was diet coke.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
I got arrested as soon as they caught him in
the waters, and their biggest concern was that he was
going to spread germs that they couldn't.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Fight off exactly their own little world on that island,
so to speak. Yes, you introduced the wrong thing. You
could just decimate all the people, yes, But unfortunately for them,
he gave them some Coca cola. Could you imagine, like
the coke is now there. God, they're like they don't
know to drink it, they're not sure what it is,
or like.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
So many other things that you could have left. But
also why just.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
How about dude? If you hear people get killed when
they go to this island, don't go keep your dumb
ass on a different island. Basically, you don't have to
do everything for clicks.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Hidden Valley is dropping some new flavors blue cheese rants,
Cajun blackened ranch, cilantro lime branch ranch, and sweet barbecue ranch,
along with seasonings to go with that, garlic ranch season
and creamy halopenio ranch seasoning.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Sign me, I want that cilantro lime ranch.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Oh, my gosh, I can't wait for that cracked pepper.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
A man in the UK will be attempting to break
a record running a marathon in a traffic cone costume.
He was inspired by three friends who are dealing with
a cancer diagnosis, and in order for him to break
the record, he has to beat the previous time. I
don't know how there's a previous time, but the previous
time is three hours and twenty two minutes. And then

(27:04):
Adam Divine from Workaholics and the Righteous Gemstones.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
You need to watch that, but.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
I know I keep saying ads for it.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I gotta watch this.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Absolutely amazing. He was misdiagnosed with stiff person disease. That
is the disease that Seline Dion is battling right now.
He's been dealing with a lot of issues from a
cement truck accident when he got run over as a
kid at eleven. But a new doctor that he went
to said, these are all issues that you're dealing with

(27:33):
from the accident when you were a child. They can't
really explain the spasms, but it's not stiff person disease,
which is good, but they're only no way to working
to figure out what's actually going on with him?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
When I hear stuff like this, it makes me feel
grateful that my body works. Yeah, you know, I got
a little foot thing going on, But my gosh, it
could be worse.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Stiff person's disease. Is that like with Celine Dion? I
know she just literally can't bend and move very well.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's basically just of it from what I've gathered.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
If somebody just coming in, freak up, squeak s Greek
Creek like a tin man.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
If only it works that easily. You got to experience
the CTA this weekend.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
I did.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
I'm getting better.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I have questions now.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
I got questions about smoking on a train. Can I
if I come into a train and someone's sitting there
smoking a cigarette or eat or something, can I say, hey, man?
Can I can I ask him to stop? Maris, Well,
that's what I want to know.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
I will tell you how to approach that situation so
that you can continue doing this show. But that's on
the way on Rock ninety five to.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Five Rock ninety five to five, Chicago's rock station.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I am Michael, I'm Maris.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Maria out today she did a little camping over the
weekend and found herself with some hives. This morning, we
said stay home now, Maris, I have a question, Yes, sir,
yesterday I went to the Cubs game.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Took the train with my buddy Jason.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
We go to get on a train car and there's
no one on the car except one guy. And first
of all, you start to go on You're like, why
is this only? Oh and he's smoking a cigarette. Okay,
there's signs everywhere that say no smoking. What are the rules?
Can I go up? And because I started to go
up and ask him to stop smoking, my buddy Jason
grabbed me by the back of the shirt.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Terrible idea. That's a terrible idea.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I mean maybe he didn't know.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
So there's a.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Button where you can call the train person and they
will stop the train. They will come down and they'll
ask the person to stop smoking and or get off
the train. It's a very simple thing. But when you
hit that button, it's hey, what's going on? And they
ask you what's going on? So you almost need a

(29:33):
pack train. So interest if like they're sitting at one end,
another person smells that, they hit the button and go, hey,
somebody's smoking on the train, and you never really know
what car it is, so they just know by what.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Car it is. Now as it was an empty train car,
just do the obvious thing, get on another car.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Okay, So it's just better to wait. Like Jason said,
I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Say wait, you could go.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
What I would have done is I would have walked
between cars and just got on the other car, hit
the button and said, hey, on the car this next
to us. There's a guy that's smoking and he doesn't
seem like he's gonna stop.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, you don't look like.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
He kind of looked at me like what are you
gonna say? Yeah, And my buddy Jason was like, let's
just wait.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
No, you just you don't either get off at the
next stop and get on another car. He just walk between.
But you don't approach people unless you are being approached.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Then I was told about to just watch out for
empty train cars. If all the other cars are full
and one's empty.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
No, probably a reason, And yes, there's always a reason,
but then you always when it's rush hour, that's when
you try to validate that reason. It's just like how
much smoke smell do I want to deal with? How
much of CTA? Life do I want to deal with
in this situation? And a lot of times, if I'm
gonna sit in a car, I value like, all right,
if he's not going to be smoking the entire time,

(30:53):
it'll be about five minutes and he'll be done or
they'll be done, and could you.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Crack one of those little windows maybe if you can?
And yes, you know what. The great thing about this
that I learned is if you want your own train,
cart's a.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Pack of But then you're also going to get kicked off.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
There's a strong potential, like you have to weigh that battle.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Like one time I approached.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Somebody who was being hostile towards another person on the
car and we were kind of stuck on the train
like that there was stuff going on, and I was.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Just like, hey man, like we're all trying to go
to work and blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
And I can tell like everybody already felt tense because
it was a weird situation. But then I was like,
hey man, like you know, like we're all trying to
go to work. Let's just sit down. Let's just why
are you talking to me?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
And I was like, all right, cool, it's always the
gamble message received, but like since you received.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
He paced a little bit then ended up getting off.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
But then again like somebody had access to the button
that was right there by the door, and they didn't
hit it.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
So like if you're standing you at the button, hit
the button, hit the button, hit the button when some
wild uff is going on, because you're the one protecting
the rest of us.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
But yeah, there's don't ever approach anybody you don't know,
all right, they are not.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I'm just trying to learn and do the best I
can here. Yes, learn, you shall learn one way or another.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Because it was either no, no, we no, just don't
do it. Yeah, yeah, just don't do it, all right?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
If we talked some sports next, speaking of cubs, Oh
final four?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
What a sports weekend craziness going on?

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yes, you're Detroit Tigers beat the crap out of the
White Sox.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
You know what. I wasn't gonna say.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I wasn't gonna say anything, but yes, sports is on
the way on Rock ninety five to five.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
It is the morning mostit on Rock ninety five to five.
I am Mariss, I'm Michael, and our lady of Chaos,
Marina is out today.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
If someone texted in and said, did Marie get abducted
by the Lollipop Guild?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I would that definitely didn't.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
She's a tiny little person.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yes, she is a smaller woman. But you know what
we got right now, Michael.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yeah, congratulation to the ladies of Yukon who did win
at their big tournament over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
But we got the finals for the men to night,
the Gators taking on Houston. Two amazing games in the
final four on Saturday, a close call for Houston as
Duke was winning, I thought with seconds left in the game, seemed.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Like the consensus was is that Duke was going to
win that game. Nope, sorry, just coming in sideways and
take it out the Duke.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Phrasing, Sir do prasing.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
But yeah, looking for an amazing game of basketball, said night.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
And then we did get some baseball over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
The Tiger swept the Socks. Yeah, I saw that, And yesterday.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
I was watching earth keeping track of the game and
I was like, oh, the Sock's gonna come out with
this win, a void to sweep. And then the ninth
inning happened.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Seriously, Tigers walked it off in great fashion with the
brooms out I'm not bragging at all. No, not me,
not me, but you were at the Cubs game, so
we have direct analysts for me.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, I was there yesterday. Crazy game. I mean the
you know, first pitcher comes out and the crowd is
turning on this guy. We're thirty five pitches deep, yeah,
before we got out of the first the top of
the first inning. Yeah, which is crazy because then we're
all like, boy, is this game really gonna go this way?
We're down like three to nothing, I think, and then

(34:31):
the padres put their picture in. Who does the same thing?
He is walking dudes around the base. He's balking. I
saw two bocks to the point where I looked at
the professional box.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
All right.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
I looked at the guy next to me. I was like,
my god, have you ever seen somebody get pulled out
in the first inning? A pitcher? He's like, no, man,
I've been coming here forever. And then right after that
they pulled him out. They replaced a pitcher in the
bottom of the first inning. That's how bad it was going.
That's says here that technically the first inning went for
Some people are saying forty five minutes. Some people are
forty six minutes just for one inning.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
That's a lot.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Hey, you got your money's worth it.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
You really good. You got a three hour baseball game.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
But then yeah, the comes lost, okay, but it was
it was another late one too. Won the first two
games and then lost eight to seven after.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
It was an errors.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, the throw was definitely catch a ball, but didn't
catch it and that kind of screwed us. But yeah,
cops are looking good. They're rolling still.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
And then history made this weekend as Ovetkin.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yes, amazing.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
I love the dive like he scores the goal. He's
now the most celebrated player in NHL history, surpassing Way
Gretzky's number. And he hits the goal and turns around
and I think, imagine all the pressure's just gone all
of a sudden, he sort of just you can.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Kind of relax and start actually playing your game again, but.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Slid across the ice. It was pretty incredible.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
We're going to talk more about Ovechkin later, but just
no fun to the head is on the way next.
Oh yeah, an easier choice was just Michael and I
in studio, So sit right on.

just to case.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Question number three? Who is the author behind the children's
book The Cat in the Hat?

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Oh? Yeah, it was easy, doctor suit.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
There it is soon.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, we're doing good now. I was worried after that
first one.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Katie, lovely lady Katie who helps us out here on
the show. She had her first U shift over the weekend. Yes,
did she helped us with these questions? Which I like
because she's a bit younger than us. I think a
moment ago she said, you guys are the same age
as my dad.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, she definitely said that out loud. That's Katie. Stop
that that hurts.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
The next question number four, jen Alpha quiz if someone said,
if someone says she he's got that guy yet, what
do they mean?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
I believe it's yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know this stuff, Joey,

Speaker 1 (39:10):
What does it mean if she got that?

Speaker 4 (39:11):

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah? Yeah, yes, and you have the movie tickets?

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah, you got it.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Well done, Joey.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
You guys want to take the final question here for fun?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yes, let's go.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Number five. Simone Biles is considered the greatest athlete of
all time in which sport?

Speaker 2 (39:33):
That would be gymnastics?

You got it.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
But most importantly, Joey, you're going to Neil Young Coast

wife expling today. It's just a much fun, Joey, who

(40:01):
are you gonna take with you to this movie.

Speaker 2 (40:03):

thank you to DSR Media. If you want to go

(40:31):
It's time to York out York we shall.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
We have a lot of Nintendo Switch news last week,
and we've got more Nintendo Switch news pre sales with
Nintendo Switch kicking off tomorrow, April Night has been postponed, postponed.
It's also been postponed with Game Stop. Also been postponed
with Best Buy.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Because these are coming from China.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Actually Japan. Actually I'm not sure where they're produced. They're
produced overseas.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
But Nintendo as a whole is taking a pump pumped
at the.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Brakes, taking a pump pump.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
They're pumping the brakes.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
As they analyze how these recent tariffs are going to
affect sales across the United States.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
I've been doing my breathing exercises.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Was there a date that this was supposed to come out?

Speaker 3 (41:27):
It is still set to come out on June fifth.
They are still setting the price will remain four hundred
and fifty dollars for the base set without the bundle.
I am concerned because if they're going to keep the
base price for the system, then we're looking at the
controllers in other games, other physical games that can see

(41:49):
a skyrocket.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
So it's just Nintendo. You're looking at this as a whole,
and if you're gonna put this on hold in America,
I'm ordering from the United Kingdom, I'm ordering from me.
I'm ordering from somewhere else to get access to my switch.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
And then you want to go back to Japan and
pick us up a couple of these, we'll fly back.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Yes please.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
She just brings back like twenty people are stopping her
at the airport, Like, I know, did you pay tariffs
on that?

Speaker 3 (42:14):
That's a business van, sure, crazy, but yeah, I'm hoping
that they have news soon on when the pre sale
or pre orders will be going back up. Because Nintendo
had a very specific process that you had to go through.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
I have a question about that. Yes, if I'm doing
a pre order for the switch, do I have to
pay for it all up front? I put one hundred
bucks downs.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
A minimum that you've got it.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
I believe it might be as low as fifty dollars
depending on where you go, and.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
It splits the cost up a little bit too when
it breaks it, and then you just set up a
payment plan to pay as you get.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Closer to the game or the system release.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
I know Nintendo specifically, if you were going to sign
up for that pre order, you had to have game
five hundred hours on your switch period, so.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
You couldn't just be a gen gamer. You had to
be in full game mode.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
What about somebody who's not a gamer and wants to switch.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
You need to order from Best Buyer Games.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
All right, I'll be doing that.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
But yes, I'll be keeping track of this and let
you know when the new pre sale details are coming out,
because you're not going to show me all these amazing
games and then put it all on hold.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Dude, Tony Hawk pro skater is.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Gonna do on that?

Speaker 3 (43:19):
A new Donkey Kong, a new Kirby, the new Mario Car,
which is a flagship release.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
It just looks insane. Maybe they're just teasing us.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
I know they're like building exactly now.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
I want it more so, good job, Nate, exactly exactly
guess what you do want and you're getting next ninety
five minutes commercial free.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Let's go next one. Rock ninety five Live.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
We have kicked off ninety five minutes commercial free. Inside
the morning mosh pit on Rock ninety five five Mirrors,
Michael Maria is a missing she's getting some rest after
a fun filled camping weekend.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
I'm sure we'll hear all about it tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Yes we will.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
That means we get to talk about a lot.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Of great Yes we do. Because a big record was
broken over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I was at the Cubs game and all of a sudden,
I heard somebody behind me. He goes, no, yeah, yeah,
I get it. I was like, wait a minute, what
is he talking about. I realized, oh, man, Ovi's the
catch probably playing so the grade eight that.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
I mean, that's amazing that you're keeping track of both
at the same time.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
But you're at the Cubs game watching a hockey game.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Well the game hadn't a Cubs game hadn't started yet.
Oh so I was like watching on his phone. Basically,
I got you, I guess. And now Alexandrovchkin is the
all time NHL scorer, beating Wayne Gretzky's legendary eight hundred
and ninety four goals. How cool is that?

Speaker 2 (44:39):
That's a feat?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
You're the best ever? Yeah, like Michael Jordan.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
So the thing that I'm wrong I liked about well done.
The two things I liked about this. He didn't want
to score on an empty net that was the record.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
At the previous game they had the chance for him
to score on a score on an empty net and
he was like, no, I want a goalie. Yeah, which
is great.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
So did he pass it off to somebody else to
score or.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
He got it passed to him? And then from his
spot he's got I mean, he doesn't move the way
he used to it. He kind of has a spot
where he shoots from. Yeah, he just knocked it right in,
smoked it. And then I love the fact that he
turned around and like I think he sort of realized,
oh my gosh, I did it, and it looks like
he almost collapses and just like nose slides across the
ice like it's done. I did it.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
And the other thing, as all of this was happening
when he tied and when he broke the record, Gretzky
was there for both.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yes, and that just shows.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
A lot of support sportsman from in that he wanted
the record to be broken. Obviously he didn't know it
was going to be this soon or how it's been
what twenty it's been a minute. Long time, it's been
a minute.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
But for him to be there, to be supportive, and
we have the audio from the call from the record
break and go, all right, let's hear it Chriss crossing
with Chickrin through center. Send in Wilson on the flank
cross night.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
So Vet's get fires.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
They're done. Everybody's climb so much.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
It is the greatest gold score in the history of
the NHL.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Wow, that's just amazing.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Goose bumps. That's so cool. I just dream of like
being the best at something and that guy absolutely incredible.
Congratulations him, Congratulations of the Capital's not that they're gonna
want to strain the company, you know, it's fun to
have that guy on your team.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Well, it is like you see everybody posing in the
locker room for the photos, just like.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
This is our moment this year.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
We know him, this is our guy.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
I passed him the puck one time. That's right, I guess.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
But Commercial free Music contigues on Rock ninety five five.
The Morning Mashpit is commercial free for ninety five minutes
because we love you. No, this is our thank you
for being here with us. I'm Maris and Michael. You've
got a rock report ready for us.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
More stuff coming out from this new book, Lollapalooza, The
Uncensored Story of Alternative Rocks Wildest Festival. Interestingly enough, Perry
Ferrell regrets performing under the influence of heroin at the
Jane's Addiction Shows.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Really yeah, he.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Says, quote I got I had gotten too high on
heroin and couldn't really get up. You know, Heroin's like
you see people sort of like punched over, it's falling asleep.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
It's down.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah, yeah, okay, he said that. He goes on to
this quote. So then I was given cocaine. I had
a friend who did this, and what a mess. He
then added into the mix two drugs that made him
more speedy. So in an attempt to come down, he
took a handful of pills and drank a bunch cheese.
This is the thing, ID to Buddy. This is sad too,
and he's actually haven't talked to him in years. I

(47:36):
hope he's better. But what he would do is he
was so hooked on heroin, that he would shoot up
heroin in one arm while he's driving, and then and
I don't even know how you shoot up cocaine, but
because he'd be so far down, he'd start getting sleepy
while he's driving, so he'd shoot cocin into the other
arm to balance it out. Like when you're this far
into addiction.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Yeah, it's a bad tun And even coming up with
that as a process to get through your day, Yeah,
it's got to be a stopping point or a check
yourself point.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
He says, by the time I got on stage, I
didn't even know which way was up. Man kind of crazy.
That's insane.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
And then to do a performance where people are just like, oh,
he's just having fun.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Yeah. Like and then that book. I got to get
that book.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I know.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
It was a bunch of waits for that one.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Speaking of book, so, Mark Coppas's book is coming out soon,
and he is giving more insight into how absolutely angry
he was at Tom DeLong. He wanted. I think if
he could legally have taken Tom out.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
He would have.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
He was in rate. I would have been too, Yeah,
he said he felt like his whole life had been
pulled out from under him because that's what he knew,
that's what he did. And now blink one eighty two
isn't even a thing. Yeah, I mean that's crazy. Oh yeah,
it's it's just like you've been doing something for the
better part.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
Of ten years consistently, you never really heard about anything
like they're goofy, but it wasn't anything bad, and then
for it just like I'm out crazy.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
And then over the weekend we were remembering Kurt Cobain
and Lane Staley, who oddly had died on the same day.
They did, not the same day, different years, but the
same day.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Just kind of weird because Kirk Coleban died a few
years earlier, and then Lane Staley again in Seattle, huh
a few years later, same exact day, oddly enough. Also,
Mike McRee from Pearl Jam's birthday, somebody needs to go
act and do like numerology on that date or something
and see what's going to shout out to them rock
stars legendary And that's your rock report on Rock nine
five five.

gonna tell you I actually did micro habits that can
increase your wealth by a lot. Okay, the little things
you do over time add up.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Yeah, I'm in on this.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
What do you got Number one?

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Here?

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Opt for store brands. This is okay. Sometimes, like if
it's beans, yeah right, I'm gonna save sixty cents if
I go with store bought black beans other than the
other ones or whatever.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
I do this with seasoning two season into.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Great, that's a great one. But when it comes I've
always said, Heinz ketchup, it's a different taste than regular
store ketchup.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
I'm very particular about my peanut butter mmm in like
ketchup whatever, because like you go to multiple restaurants they
have whatever ketchup is there.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Heinz fritz heine.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
I hate it when I have their own stupid ketchup,
like they're like we made it in like our barn.
It's farmed a table. I'm like, it's disgusting. Yeah me Heinz. Yeah,
all right, let's see you here. Pause before purchasing Maris
how do you do when you come across to something
that you're like, oh, that's cool.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
See, when I'm functioning in that world, it's very different
because if I see a hat and I don't think
it's gonna be there within two hours, I just go
get it and I've and that's in my head really bad.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
That's such an interesting thing too write because so get this.
I used to I used to wear a lot of hats,
collect hats, right, yeah, when I was younger, and they
were we called them probacks. Is that still a thing,
like they didn't have the snaps?

Speaker 2 (50:59):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (51:00):
You called them probacks?

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Oh? So like a fitted hat, fitted hat? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Okay, okay, yeah, I bought a hat yesterday. Uh huh,
I should have waited before purchase. I should have paused
before purchasing. I bought a hat and it's a snap back.
Fifty dollars.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
They got you good merits. The fitted hat was probably
fifty dollars too.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
So are you just collecting these hats? And like I
was thinking, the hats you collect are like twenty twenty
four bucks, they're actively fifty bucks now.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
The one that I have on right now in Detroit Tigers.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
I think this one was sixty or seventy because there
was a design Actually it's on here.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Yeah. Uh, it's like cool patches. Essentially.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
I can't read who the designer is, but it's a
designer hat. So it's like sixty to seventy dollars.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Well, pause before purchasing. Also, limit social media use because
you're getting fed things that you should buy all the time,
all day. Cook more at home.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah, I know that's necessary.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
That's my biggest money waster.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
I've stopped ubering nearly as much, and it's just Uber
eats now, those sons of bitches. I get rid of
the uber and they get me on the Uber eats.
I'm not getting away. I wish I would have started
that company. Uh. Cook more. Oh, use cash for discretionary spending.
My wife does this a lot.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
It helps you keep track of it versus just the
Infinity Swipe.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
She takes cash and not a card on purpose, so
she can't use a card.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Actually, I've been running into a lot more restaurants or
smaller businesses. They're they're like, hey, we're going to charge
you three more dollars because of the credit card.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
They got to pay the fees. Let me go get
some cash, and I'm like, oh, all right, what if
I pay? Restaurants are like, we'll give you half price
if you pay cash. Right, no taxes, review subscriptions regularly.
You got to You got any only fans out there
riding hard, her soft or whatever you're doing. Make sure
you're not spending a bunch of money on crap, and
then avoid lifestyle inflation. As your income increases, strive to

(52:39):
maintain your current standard of living and allocate more funds
towards savings.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Mayor That's the hard part, is true.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
When you make a little more, you're like, oh man.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Let me get the lotion, let me get that hair care,
let me get the shoes that fit right like you

months and we'll see how we're doing.

Things that comes on around seven thirty.

You do like text time fifty could text us any
time throughout the show. As a matter of fact, if
you text anybody here on the station throughout the whole day,
and we'll come in the next morning and we'll read it,

And the butter. It's the cinnamon butter that really does
it for me. It sounds is so good.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
They go on and say both most likely to have
food debris all over the floor. Oh, because I was
saying I missed the peanuts.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
They're like, I'll still be dirty. Don't worry. From the
three one true too. We're talking about how to save money.
I try to save by not only locking my card,
but I also have all my money in my savings,
so I need to move it to my check and
unlock my car before I make an impulse. By I've
been doing this. I keep all of my money in savings,
and then I move a little bits over and you

(55:06):
know what happens to me Constantly, I go to reun
my cart and it doesn't run, and I go, hold
on a second, I gotta move some money over.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
And it's like there's nothing stopping me from moving that money.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
So that's a no go for I want to have. Yeah,
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Two more here one from the seven to eight. Yes,
you can ask people to stop smoking on the train.
This was a question I had after riding the train yesterday.
Be aware you make it an aggressive response, but usually
passengers chime in who want to smoking to stop as well.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
Yes, if you say something, other people will pipe up.
What that smoker will be coming after you specifically in
that situation, I'm just gonna get on a different car.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
I say, let the conductor deal with it.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
And finally Lou says, I was drunk and wanted to
sit down while waiting, so I sat on the platform
with my feet hanging where the tracks are.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Oh that's not smart.
