• 0:00
  Poppy Hour starts live in less than 10 minutes.
• 0:02
  Stand by. Here's Mike Vrabel! Saying he failed
• 0:14
  his own standards. Dude, it's not like you just
• 0:17
  started banging or you've been hanging out six
• 0:18
  years. Shut your ass! What a horrible microphone.
• 0:29
  Terrible person. You're just maddy I can't. Now
• 0:39
  you know. You don't care about him. If you did,
• 0:52
  you would have told her before, you moron. Shut
• 0:55
  your ass. the organization and our fans alright
• 1:01
  there you go I'm dead can you imagine being I
• 1:05
  keep thinking it's Diana Taurasi I don't know
• 1:08
  why a Boston radio host was fired for talking
• 1:14
  about Mike Vrabel I don't like that yeah the
• 1:19
  Patriot fans are whipped Mike Vrabel is looking
• 1:24
  to get into counseling and get help And then
• 1:28
  he calls the draft. The Patriots had the draft
• 1:32
  pick last night and he called him and said, welcome
• 1:34
  to the team. And Dave Portnoy criticizes Mike
• 1:37
  Vrabel. Good. Finally, somebody from the universe
• 1:40
  of Patriots fandom did. All right. Then we got
• 1:44
  this headline right here. Happy Hot Topic. Just
• 1:51
  hours before the NFL draft kicked off, new bombshell
• 1:54
  photos emerging. One showing Patriots head coach
• 1:56
  Mike Vrabel and former athletic NFL reporter
• 1:59
  Diana Rossini. Oh, yeah. Allegedly kissing at
• 2:03
  a New York bar in 2020. Oh, yeah. So this was
• 2:06
  just, you know, him with his standards. Shut
• 2:08
  up. You've been doing it forever. According to
• 2:10
  the New York Post, another published by TMZ Sports
• 2:13
  is said to show the pair at a Mississippi casino
• 2:16
  in early 2024. My priorities are... My family
• 2:20
  and this football team. Oh, yeah, I don't think
• 2:21
  your wife wants anything to do with you, unless
• 2:24
  she has no credibility in stage with you. And
• 2:26
  in that order. Vrabel announcing on Thursday
• 2:29
  he's focusing on his family and seeking counseling,
• 2:32
  according to ESPN. This is all PR. I understand
• 2:37
  that there are questions, but I take accountability
• 2:41
  for my actions. If you took accountability, you
• 2:44
  would have taught us sooner. You know, he'd be
• 2:48
  freaking out when those pictures got released
• 2:50
  of them on the rooftop. And I lost a lot of respect
• 2:54
  for him. I thought he was cool. Actions that
• 2:56
  caused a distraction to the people that I care
• 2:59
  most about. You don't care about him. He's just
• 3:01
  a maniac. Just weeks earlier, Vrabel saying photos
• 3:07
  published by the Post showed an innocent interaction
• 3:10
  and any suggestion otherwise was, quote, laughable.
• 3:14
  Oh yeah, I remember that. Now the embattled head
• 3:16
  coach pulling a complete 180. Remember when they
• 3:19
  said they were on a girls trip and he was just
• 3:21
  visiting and then they asked for any proof of
• 3:23
  group text messages? My previous actions don't
• 3:29
  meet the standard that I hold myself to. You
• 3:32
  don't hold yourself to anything. You're just
• 3:33
  like everyone else in the NFL. You're a dog.
• 3:39
  They don't. Yeah, they do. Shut up. We're not
• 3:42
  stupid, dude. Your wife might be for staying
• 3:46
  with you. Speaking of a moron right here. Did
• 3:51
  you love him? Back then, I did, but obviously.
• 3:58
  Here's the side check. That was Ben Sharon Moore,
• 4:01
  the coach of Michigan. Taking no accountability.
• 4:04
  Just like every other side check, trying to get
• 4:07
  famous from it. Because you're a victim. Shut
• 4:09
  up. Women want equal rights. They want to be
• 4:12
  taken seriously, but then when they get caught
• 4:14
  sleeping around, that's when they're like, I
• 4:15
  don't want to be taken seriously with that. And
• 4:17
  really reflecting on what happened, what was
• 4:22
  happening. That's, yeah, that's not love at all.
• 4:26
  What a hot piece of ass sociopathic liar. Paige
• 4:29
  Shiver, now 32, says she was... She's 32? I mean,
• 4:33
  she looks good. I thought she was younger. So
• 4:36
  yeah, at least if you're in your early 20s and
• 4:38
  you were in high school during COVID, you're
• 4:40
  all mentally messed up. But you're a grown -ass
• 4:42
  woman. Shut up. You're eight years away from
• 4:45
  40. If you live to 64, you're middle -aged, honey.
• 4:49
  It's an intern in 2022 when she and Cherone Moore,
• 4:52
  then an offensive coordinator and a married father,
• 4:55
  started a consensual, intimate relationship.
• 4:58
  She was asked to be Moore's executive assistant
• 5:00
  when he was... Oh yeah, but she was... to head
• 5:03
  coach in 2024. Did you feel pressured to have
• 5:06
  the relationship in order to have job security?
• 5:10
  Yes. Okay, well, maybe don't work at that job
• 5:13
  then. Shut up! You love the other parts. You
• 5:18
  love being a snob, honey. Yes, I did. Shut up.
• 5:22
  I mean, he and other coaches had control over
• 5:26
  my career. Well, maybe you go work somewhere
• 5:29
  else where you don't have to, you know, bang
• 5:31
  around. Especially him. I mean, he could fire
• 5:33
  me in a second. Shiver. I would too. You seem
• 5:36
  annoying. Shiver says her attempts to end the
• 5:38
  on -again, off -again relationship were often
• 5:41
  met with what she calls manipulation tactics.
• 5:44
  Well, yeah, go to HR and, yeah, you're going
• 5:46
  to be in trouble, but at least you get ahead
• 5:48
  of it. Mm -hmm. After giving in. You know what
• 5:52
  I mean? including threats of self -harm. Every
• 5:55
  time I tried to pull away, he always had a story,
• 5:59
  always had a way to pull me in. So then you're
• 6:02
  just, you know, I'm not saying you're a dumb
• 6:04
  blonde, but you're not making blondes look good.
• 6:07
  And making me feel that I... Couldn't leave him
• 6:12
  because he was so miserable without me. He was
• 6:16
  miserable with you too, honey. During their years
• 6:18
  -long relationship, Shiver learned she was pregnant
• 6:21
  by Moore. Oh, yeah. Oh, he doesn't pull out.
• 6:27
  Pregnancy was complicated by pompa disease, a
• 6:30
  genetic disorder that... Can you imagine that,
• 6:32
  kid? You're born to a side chick in a stupid
• 6:34
  football couch. ...muscle strength. Her doctors
• 6:37
  delivered the heartbreaking news. You know, he
• 6:40
  was running down the street all happy. Well,
• 6:43
  doctors and experts told me that it wouldn't
• 6:50
  be right or healthy for me to keep the baby.
• 6:57
  I would have been a great. relationship and family
• 7:05
  dynamic there. Why are you not wearing a condom?
• 7:11
  Having a vasectomy or pulling out, bro? I'm not
• 7:16
  listening to any more of your tears. It's fake!
• 7:18
  Like it's real tears. But you take no accountability.
• 7:28
  We all know that I can be a jackass on a show
• 7:31
  and a very outspoken, but I dedicate this show
• 7:35
  to Pete Kostanis of the Vanished Chicago Lampage.
• 7:39
  We will get into it in a second, but Pete, I
• 7:43
  absolutely love you. You are an amazing man,
• 7:46
  and rest in peace. Attention, FM DJs, your morning
• 7:50
  show prep begins now. A sick person with a powerful
• 7:55
  tool. Welcome to Hoppy Hour. Doors closing. Hi,
• 8:12
  this is Ryan Hoppy's mom and you're listening
• 8:14
  to Hoppy Hour. Welcome back to Hoppy Hour with
• 8:17
  Ryan Hoppy. Yes, now. What? Now, now, now, now.
• 8:26
  If I hit this button, boom, the whole program's
• 8:28
  gonna start. Okay, well, hit it. All right. The
• 8:47
  semen was so big. And now, something completely
• 8:50
  different. Hoppy Hour. Starts in 4, 3, 2, Hoppy,
• 8:56
  Hoppy, Hoppy. This is Hoppy Hour with Hoppy.
• 9:37
  Oh, my mic was off. What a beautiful way to begin
• 9:45
  the show. But let's get ready to music right
• 9:49
  now. So we'll get into the Minneapolis slash
• 9:56
  Chicago trip I went on. But I had a friend, and
• 10:03
  he was everybody's friend in Chicago. I had a
• 10:06
  friend named Pete Kostanis. And Pete was a fascinating
• 10:10
  guy. He ran the brand, which had Twitter pages,
• 10:15
  Instagram pages, Facebook pages, called Vanished
• 10:19
  Chicagoland. where he would talk about, oh, you
• 10:23
  remember this grocery store on, I don't know,
• 10:26
  I can't think of a road right now, on Cumberland.
• 10:29
  And then people would comment, oh, I used to
• 10:30
  get an Italian beef there. Remember this toy
• 10:33
  store? Yeah, I got my first teddy bear there.
• 10:35
  And he started creating it when Facebook really
• 10:37
  began to pop about 12 years ago. And I believe
• 10:40
  there was another name that was attached to it
• 10:42
  before it was Vanished Chicagoland. And to be
• 10:46
  honest. Pete had that it factor. So he would
• 10:50
  run his Facebook group where he would post about
• 10:54
  memories and he did a podcast with 500 episodes.
• 10:57
  I believe he really began doing it during COVID,
• 10:59
  especially in Chicago where they were really
• 11:01
  locked down. And he would have a signature selfie
• 11:05
  where he kind of had a mysterious look about
• 11:08
  him. And that's because he was a mysterious guy.
• 11:11
  And that was a good thing was he was very classy.
• 11:15
  He was very private, but he also would do anything
• 11:18
  for his friends. So I first found the page because
• 11:23
  probably my algorithm working in radio, I would
• 11:26
  see like, let's say it's the 42nd anniversary
• 11:29
  of disco demolition with Steve Dahl and his page
• 11:32
  would post it. And then everybody would go, I
• 11:33
  was there, blah, blah, blah. Remember the 79
• 11:35
  or the, I think it was 97 cents to get in and
• 11:38
  blah, blah, blah. So then I followed the page
• 11:40
  and you begin to kind of see the selfies. And
• 11:43
  there's a certain way you have to promote yourself
• 11:46
  when you're on a brand. Like I'll take selfies
• 11:49
  and I might get 10 likes. Pete takes selfies
• 11:52
  and he gets a thousand likes. He just had that
• 11:54
  it factor. He just had that classiness to him.
• 11:58
  He represented old Chicago. Not saying Chicago
• 12:02
  doesn't have love now, but he represented that
• 12:04
  brotherhood, that. Like, my mom's friends knew
• 12:08
  who he was. Everybody at the WGN News knew who
• 12:10
  he was. And he passed away from cancer Sunday,
• 12:15
  April 26. And he made a post Wednesday or Thursday
• 12:23
  last week. saying that he didn't have much time
• 12:26
  left and he was going into hospice. And I was
• 12:28
  flying to Minneapolis after being in Chicago.
• 12:31
  And I just started crying on the plane because
• 12:33
  I wasn't on a Delta plane. I was on a Sun Country
• 12:36
  plane where they don't really have Wi -Fi. So
• 12:38
  it was just me and my thoughts. And it just absolutely
• 12:42
  crushed me. I texted him, I don't know, probably
• 12:46
  nine days ago. Cause now it's Monday, April 27th
• 12:50
  and Monday or Saturday, April 18th. I flew to
• 12:53
  Chicago and I knew he was in a hospital and I
• 12:56
  texted him and I said, Hey Pete, do you want
• 12:58
  any company? I would love to see you. And then
• 13:00
  he was like, Oh, well I'm in the hospital right
• 13:03
  now. Um, I should be getting out soon. And then
• 13:06
  I said, sounds good. I said, when you get out,
• 13:09
  let me know and I'll buy you lunch. Cause he
• 13:12
  just bought me lunch. And then seeing how quickly
• 13:15
  the cancer spread in the last five days absolutely
• 13:18
  crushed me because he had so many plans. He was
• 13:21
  62 years old. I know he was making a good living
• 13:24
  off of a van in Chicagoland. He had his own house.
• 13:29
  He had a lovely mom who seemed like the nicest
• 13:31
  person. And if she's listening, I'm so sorry.
• 13:33
  Your son is just one of a kind. And I'm a jackass
• 13:39
  on this show. I speak my mind and say it like
• 13:42
  it is. But I'm telling you, I absolutely adored
• 13:47
  Pete. Pete was that guy. We went out to lunch.
• 13:52
  I forget the name of the place. I couldn't even
• 13:54
  remember what I ate. I think it was a burger.
• 13:56
  Went to this place in Lombard or something. Man,
• 13:59
  I wish I could remember. And he had so many plans.
• 14:04
  He was talking about he was going to go visit.
• 14:05
  I guess some family in Greece because he was
• 14:07
  Greek and he wanted to go to Greece and he was
• 14:10
  going to get his visa and he was going to travel
• 14:12
  the world. And he said, once I get rid of that
• 14:14
  darn cancer, like he was such a clean cut guy
• 14:16
  that he didn't say, like in my Facebook post,
• 14:18
  I said, fuck cancer because it's ridiculous.
• 14:20
  But he was just such a sweet guy. And I think
• 14:25
  what I adored most about Pete was that I had
• 14:28
  just met him. And sometimes like when you meet
• 14:31
  people, you're a fan of you. Don't want to meet
• 14:36
  your heroes. Pete was one of my heroes because,
• 14:39
  man, if I was facing cancer and I was not sure
• 14:42
  if I'm going to be able to travel the world,
• 14:44
  I would be furious at the world. I would not
• 14:47
  want anything to do with the world. But all he
• 14:50
  did was spread love. He spread awareness of Chicago's
• 14:53
  past. And I'm trying not to cry right now. I
• 14:55
  am just absolutely torn. Pete was that guy, man.
• 15:01
  I don't know what else I can say. I made my Facebook
• 15:02
  post last night. I'll get to some of the comments
• 15:05
  right now. Pete just, I'm not a religious person.
• 15:09
  I know a lot of people on the post are saying
• 15:11
  he's up in heaven. And I just adored Pete. Brent
• 15:19
  Putin, who just graduated from the Illinois Center
• 15:23
  for Radio or whatever it's called now. And he
• 15:25
  said, there are truly no words. Pete will never
• 15:28
  be forgotten. Let me see the other comments.
• 15:30
  I didn't know Pete personally like so many others,
• 15:32
  but I am heartbroken like so many others that
• 15:34
  he has left us now here. He seemed to be an amazing
• 15:37
  person. A lot of the comments about I didn't
• 15:40
  know Pete personally, I thought this was a good
• 15:43
  comment. I'm not saying the other comments aren't.
• 15:45
  But I know Pete 40 years ago at DeVry University.
• 15:48
  Quiet, but had a great sense of humor, and he
• 15:51
  would have the class in absolute stitches. Two
• 15:54
  to three times a trimester. Just one of the funniest
• 15:57
  and sweetest guys you'll ever meet. I liked something
• 16:00
  on his site 10 years ago, and he sent me a message
• 16:02
  thanking me for the like, and if I remembered
• 16:05
  him. Like, how am I going to forget you? He was
• 16:07
  a nice guy, and my condolences to his family,
• 16:10
  his friends, and his fans. Ryan, what a great
• 16:13
  tribute to a great guy. He will surely be missed.
• 16:16
  He created something beautiful and wonderful,
• 16:18
  and I will never forget him. And a lot of the
• 16:21
  same comments. And I'm not a religious guy. I
• 16:26
  don't believe in God. I'm not going to go down
• 16:27
  that route because I don't want to hurt people
• 16:28
  that do believe in God. But it just absolutely
• 16:31
  crushes me that you have this amazing man who
• 16:35
  deserved nothing but the best in life. Like Pete
• 16:38
  was that guy. Because you know on this show I
• 16:41
  usually just trash celebrities. So this is out
• 16:43
  of my comfort zone to be nice. But I'm telling
• 16:46
  you, Pete was that guy. Only met him once. Texted
• 16:50
  a lot. On the podcast feed, I'll post the interview
• 16:54
  we had probably March last year. And you got
• 16:57
  to think, he's got hundreds of thousands of fans.
• 17:00
  He's gone on WGN News. He's been on Madhouse
• 17:03
  Morning Madhouse 10 years ago. The few words
• 17:06
  he got to get in on air. He had all this stardom
• 17:12
  in Chicago. Marcus Leshock was his friend, who's
• 17:15
  Marcus is awesome. But I'm just saying. I'm not
• 17:18
  a little show, but he took time out of his day.
• 17:21
  I'm not paying him. I'm not on in Chicago. So
• 17:25
  I just want to thank you, Pete, man. You made
• 17:27
  me a better person. You made me realize what
• 17:30
  a true man is. And you made me realize that not
• 17:35
  only do I need to improve as a person to be as
• 17:37
  awesome as you, but that you're never going to
• 17:39
  be forgotten. You're never going to be vanished,
• 17:42
  dude. You're a fucking legend. You're the man.
• 17:48
  There's never ever going to be somebody. I'm
• 17:50
  not saying there's never going to be somebody
• 17:51
  as nice as him, but he had such a kind soul.
• 17:55
  He's the type of guy, if you got a flat tire,
• 17:57
  he'd be there to help you. He was that dude.
• 17:59
  Just such an amazing guy, which is why it hurts
• 18:01
  me so much is because I'm not saying if he was
• 18:05
  older, it'd be any better, but he was 62 and
• 18:07
  he was going to get his visa and travel the world.
• 18:12
  If I may quote the 1996 song, man, funk dead.
• 18:18
  So on this website called Suna, you can make
• 18:21
  AI songs. I have not heard this song, but here
• 18:24
  is a song that's dedicated to Pete. Right here.
• 18:29
  Oh, I do this thing I do once a show where I
• 18:31
  don't have the music potted up. Here is the song
• 18:33
  for you, Pete. Side by side, make it strange
• 19:02
  to me Sorry I mispronounced his last name, but
• 21:55
  I thought A .I. was so smart. Still made a good
• 21:59
  song. All right, we're going to do a quick reset.
• 22:05
  Because I don't want to just go from talking
• 22:09
  about Pete to talking about NBA side chicks.
• 22:14
  So what we're going to do is we're going to reset
• 22:17
  the party because Pete would want us to live
• 22:18
  life. But I had to begin the show on a serious
• 22:22
  note. Oh, did I ever? So in honor of Pete, let's
• 22:27
  party. Time for the beat drop. Oh, sure. I got
• 23:29
  it. 8 -5 -6. 49 Hoppy. 8 -5 -6. 4 -9 -4 -6 -7
• 23:49
  -7 -3. You can tweet at me at RyanHoppyRadio.
• 23:56
  Trying to figure out how to go from talking about
• 24:03
  a classy man like Pete to ranting about side
• 24:08
  chicks, but we can do it. Love you, Pete. Got
• 24:21
  it. Oh, yeah. You know, we can't start off this
• 24:38
  Monday show. If you're listening for the first
• 24:41
  time. Every Monday, we discuss having a case
• 24:47
  of the Mondays. Hey, guys. What's up, G? Want
• 24:53
  to go to Tchotchkes? Get some coffee? No, it's
• 24:55
  a little early. I got to get out of here. I think
• 24:57
  I'm going to lose it. Uh -oh. Sounds like somebody's
• 25:00
  got a case of the Mundus. One more time. Somebody's
• 25:03
  got a case of the Mundus. One more time. Sounds
• 25:05
  like somebody's got a case of the Mundus. And
• 25:08
  finally. Sounds like somebody's got a case of
• 25:10
  the Mundus. Let me ask you something. When you
• 25:14
  come in on Monday and you're not feeling real
• 25:16
  well, does anyone ever say to you, sounds like
• 25:18
  someone has a case of the Mondays? No. No, man.
• 25:27
  Shit, no, man. I believe you get your ass kicked
• 25:29
  saying something like that, man. All right, what
• 25:41
  do I got from here? Mm -hmm. All right. Sup?
• 25:50
  I was in Minneapolis to see a radio person I
• 25:56
  know. Then I also got to meet the 93X Half -Assed
• 25:59
  Morning Show. And, man, when you get to meet
• 26:02
  your heroes and they're actually nice to you,
• 26:03
  it's pretty cool. I like you, Opie. I love Opie,
• 26:09
  but I don't know if he likes me. So I did that,
• 26:12
  and there's this girl named Allie, and she's
• 26:18
  the absolute best. And you'll be seeing more
• 26:24
  of her. We're trying to figure out the long distance
• 26:27
  thing because she lives in Minneapolis and I'm
• 26:30
  in St. Pete. But it's pretty cool. I don't know,
• 26:35
  man. I don't know what to say. Like, it's not
• 26:39
  that I don't know what to say about her. I just
• 26:41
  the last few times I've had girls that were either
• 26:45
  girlfriends or situationships. All they wanted
• 26:49
  was the attention. Mm -hmm. Allie doesn't mind
• 26:55
  me talking about her, but you know that saying,
• 27:00
  what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? What happens
• 27:05
  in Minneapolis stays in Minneapolis. Mm -hmm.
• 27:13
  By the way, you know when somebody says like,
• 27:17
  oh, people from Philadelphia are jackasses, and
• 27:20
  then people from Philadelphia are like, no, we're
• 27:22
  not, and then they're jackasses. You know what
• 27:24
  people say? People from Chicago are loud, and
• 27:27
  then people are actually loud. People from Minneapolis
• 27:29
  are actually nice. They're actually friendly.
• 27:35
  So all I'm going to say is you're going to see
• 27:40
  more, Allie. You're going to hear more about
• 27:42
  Allie. If you want to see our picture, when we
• 27:45
  were drunk at a... Minnesota Wild Hockey Playoff
• 27:49
  Party in St. Paul. I believe it was either truck
• 27:52
  or trunk yard. Let me look it up. It was this
• 27:54
  bar. I have a funny story. So one of her friends
• 27:59
  who's super cool named Ollie, he had kind of
• 28:02
  a Minnesota accent, but I have a Chicago accent,
• 28:04
  so it's not a bad thing. But he told me, he was
• 28:09
  like, it's the 7th Street Truck Park is what
• 28:13
  it is. There you go. I want to make sure I said
• 28:15
  the name of the bar right. And her friend likes
• 28:19
  to call when you get a 40 -ounce Bud Light, which
• 28:22
  is like three beers in a bottle. I was like,
• 28:25
  dude, where do I get one of those? Even though
• 28:28
  I already have like two vodka seltzers, three
• 28:30
  yinglings, some bapum, some bush apples. I was
• 28:34
  a little drunk a little bit. But I had to make
• 28:38
  sure that Kayla and that's her friend Kayla and
• 28:41
  Allie were good. I mean, they can hold their
• 28:44
  liquor, but. I wanted to have that energy where
• 28:46
  it's like, I got to take care of you guys, especially
• 28:48
  when we got the Uber and my phone was on 10%.
• 28:51
  By the way, Topper's Pizza out there, phenomenal.
• 28:55
  I only had one slice, but it was very good. But
• 28:59
  what am I getting at? One of their friends' name
• 29:01
  is Ali, and I was vibing with the guy. He's super
• 29:03
  cool. When I'm back out there, I got to hang
• 29:05
  out with him. And he calls a 40 -ounce Bud Light
• 29:09
  a 40. I don't know if it's just him that does
• 29:14
  it, but I go up to the bartender. I thought that's
• 29:19
  how you said it. And I go, can I have a fody?
• 29:22
  And the lady's like, what? Can I have a fody?
• 29:25
  And she goes, what are you saying? And I was
• 29:27
  like, can I have a Bud Light 40 ounce? She's
• 29:29
  like, oh, okay. I guess I said it wrong. But
• 29:33
  my goodness, I had two of those fodies. Oh, my
• 29:37
  God. It was great. Also, I want to talk about
• 29:42
  boomers at the airport. I don't know what it
• 29:45
  is about the airport where boomers absolutely
• 29:48
  lose their mind. Oh, they do. I was in line.
• 29:54
  And first of all, as I will probably be flying
• 29:58
  a little more, I've learned to get seats. You
• 30:03
  got to get seats ahead of time and closer to
• 30:05
  the front. Because Delta Airlines has this thing
• 30:07
  where they go, oh, we're out. of room with the
• 30:09
  luggage. We got to check the bags, which I hate
• 30:13
  doing. And of course, when I'm in section 30,
• 30:17
  group seven, all of a sudden, or seat 30, group
• 30:20
  seven, all of a sudden there's room for the freaking
• 30:22
  bags. I'm like, what are you talking about? But
• 30:26
  there was an old man and he was confused by the
• 30:29
  seating chart because why wouldn't he be? And
• 30:31
  there was a, there was like an Asian couple and
• 30:35
  let's say it's 29 D and E. And he goes, yo, yo,
• 30:39
  he's like impersonating him. He's like, yo, in
• 30:41
  my seat. I'm like, what are you talking about?
• 30:43
  He's like, I'm in 28D. You are in my seat. And
• 30:47
  then they looked at him and they go, sir, that's
• 30:48
  28D right there. And he's like, oh. And I was
• 30:51
  like, you're the reason people don't like boomers.
• 30:54
  Not only are you racist, you're stupid. And then
• 30:59
  boomers have this thing where, I don't know if
• 31:01
  it's because they're like facing death and they
• 31:03
  don't want to like, and this is going to sound
• 31:05
  ridiculous. but they don't want to move. But
• 31:09
  they do this thing where I'm not, I know when
• 31:12
  you get older, you don't have the same strength
• 31:14
  to grab the luggage from up top, but they do
• 31:17
  this thing where they grab the luggage and then
• 31:19
  they like look around for like five minutes to
• 31:22
  make sure they have everything. And I know saying
• 31:24
  it out loud, you're like, oh, just be nice. But
• 31:26
  they do this thing where they just block the
• 31:27
  lane. It's worse when you're getting on the plane
• 31:30
  or you're blocking the runway more than when
• 31:34
  you're getting off. Because at least when you're
• 31:36
  getting off, you're making sure you have everything.
• 31:38
  But man, I'll see them go, is this gate CC26G?
• 31:44
  And it's obviously gate CC26G. And then they're
• 31:48
  like, oh my God, did you all see that it's gate
• 31:51
  CC26G? It's like, you're at the gate. You have
• 31:57
  to stop, sit down. You're blocking us. The entitlement
• 32:01
  of boomers. But I have boomers in my family,
• 32:06
  so I try to be nice. Awesome. Speaking of boomers,
• 32:11
  I saw that Tim Cook just resigned from Apple.
• 32:17
  And by the way, with him resigning at Apple,
• 32:20
  you know what's interesting? I want to keep my
• 32:24
  iPhone for as long as possible. Yeah, the charging
• 32:26
  port doesn't work and I have to use the circular
• 32:28
  charger. Yeah, I have to literally have my phone
• 32:31
  on speaker and it does not work with Bluetooth
• 32:33
  headphones. Yeah, it's starting to die faster.
• 32:36
  Yeah, it's the longest I've had a phone, two
• 32:37
  and a half years. It's like 80 in Apple years.
• 32:41
  But I refuse, I'll probably get one next week,
• 32:44
  I refuse to get a new phone. It's the precedent
• 32:48
  of the matter. Those damn Nokia brick phones.
• 32:52
  For all my 26 year old listeners, a Nokia phone
• 32:55
  was this big brick that would last 20 years.
• 32:58
  It would never had to charge it. Now, if I listen
• 33:01
  to Spotify at the airport and I go to the airport
• 33:03
  on 95%, I'm down to 60 % on the plane. That ain't
• 33:07
  it, dog. All right. So if this is your first
• 33:11
  time listening, you can kind of gradually see
• 33:13
  that I'm turning more into a jackass and I'm
• 33:15
  not as like serious as I was with Pete because
• 33:17
  he deserved that. Here's everything going on
• 33:20
  in celebrity trash. Here's Whitney. Talking about
• 33:28
  how you should never gossip about your man. I
• 33:30
  mean, I see it. And there's certain rules to
• 33:32
  me that I live by in relationships. Now, it took
• 33:34
  me a while to learn, but you never gossip about
• 33:36
  your man ever. Oh, yeah. It's because she's an
• 33:38
  elder millennial. So she gets it. Oh, the younger
• 33:42
  Gen Z girls are brats. Not all of them. Just
• 33:45
  the ones that speak out about the man. Ever.
• 33:49
  There's a. texting with some other girl you don't
• 33:52
  i'm like you don't tell any i'm gonna i'm gonna
• 33:55
  tell you if you want your relationship to work
• 33:59
  you gotta get the approval of the group text
• 34:01
  you take it to a therapist you take it to a 12
• 34:04
  -step meeting like don't ever gossip about your
• 34:07
  person oh wow that means when uh whitney went
• 34:09
  to a 12 -step meeting she's probably a party
• 34:12
  girl Don't ever make fun of your person in public.
• 34:16
  I see people a lot, like that women that don't
• 34:19
  understand why relationships aren't working.
• 34:21
  And then you go out on a double date and like,
• 34:22
  cause he fucking can't get out. And you're just
• 34:24
  like, yeah, she's pretty right there. What the
• 34:27
  fuck are you doing? Like you're embarrassing
• 34:29
  your man. Yeah. But when a guy does it, put out
• 34:33
  in a month, they're allowed to. Man, funk dead.
• 34:38
  What else do we got here? This is going to be
• 34:42
  the most riveting stuff you ever heard. The rapper
• 34:46
  DDG says Chicago shouldn't be dangerous after
• 34:49
  seeing how nice the beaches and buildings are.
• 34:52
  Chicago got beaches? What the fuck? I'm so sick
• 35:01
  of the algorithm doing this. They beep out the
• 35:08
  sweat. Have we become so desensitized that we
• 35:13
  have to beep out swears because of the Wussified
• 35:15
  algorithm? When did y 'all get beaches? All right,
• 35:19
  there you go. The problem is the beaches only
• 35:21
  work for like three months and the sand's not
• 35:23
  really comfortable. Ah, there is a campaign to
• 35:26
  get rid of D4VD, David's music, off of Spotify
• 35:29
  and Apple. The problem is R. Kelly's still there.
• 35:33
  As much as I think he's a thug, as much as I
• 35:36
  think he's a scumbag. And I think his music's
• 35:40
  soulless and terrible. I really had to burp when
• 35:44
  I was doing the Pete speech, but I didn't want
• 35:45
  to. As much as I think David's awful, we got
• 35:48
  awful people on his music. Like Michael, we got
• 35:51
  awful people on Spotify. Like Michael Jackson.
• 35:54
  Here is, okay, this is gonna be a conspiracy
• 35:58
  route, but I kind of, okay. So everybody said
• 36:02
  that the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting was staged.
• 36:06
  And at this past dinner, the shooting at the
• 36:09
  White House was staged or at the White House
• 36:11
  Correspondents Dinner. And I'm not against thinking
• 36:16
  that. But what confuses me is if they never found
• 36:20
  the shooter, that's one thing. But why would
• 36:22
  a shooter get paid and then want to give up their
• 36:27
  life? Because here's the weird part. Is like
• 36:32
  I've seen like the Reagan shooting. Mm -hmm.
• 36:36
  I've seen the JFK shooting, and usually people
• 36:40
  freak out a little more. Everybody after this
• 36:43
  correspondence dinner, you got Cash Patel just
• 36:46
  kind of looking around. You got one boomer eating
• 36:48
  salad, and then here's Dana White. Getting flipped
• 36:51
  over, guys running in with guns, and they were
• 36:54
  screaming, get down. I didn't get down. It was
• 36:58
  fucking awesome. Oh, yeah, shooting at a dinner.
• 37:00
  Awesome. Why? Because it's probably staged. Literally
• 37:03
  took every minute of it in. Oh, yeah, that's
• 37:07
  what I do when I'm at a shooting. I don't try
• 37:09
  to leave the building and get traumatized. I
• 37:12
  embrace every second of a shooting. It was a
• 37:15
  pretty crazy, unique experience. It's so funny.
• 37:20
  It's awesome being shot at. You were on the aisle.
• 37:22
  What exactly did you see? We were sitting right
• 37:25
  in front of the table. Okay. It's awesome being
• 37:27
  right by the shooter and almost dying. Cool.
• 37:30
  This is where I start to believe the conspiracy
• 37:32
  route. And we kept eating and just drinking and
• 37:44
  cheating on our lives. That is very strange.
• 37:50
  There you go. That's the normal reaction to a
• 37:53
  shooting. Oh, yeah, it's pretty awesome, dude.
• 37:55
  Once in a lifetime experience. we'll talk about
• 37:58
  this more later on but clay thompson and um good
• 38:05
  old megan the stallion broke up and here is cloud
• 38:10
  chasing michael rapaport on it i'm doing this
• 38:13
  um video from the bed because i'm hiding from
• 38:17
  my wife because of you clay thompson Oh, Sean.
• 38:23
  Clay Thompson, you're f***ing up everything for
• 38:25
  everybody else. Cheating on Megan Thee Stallion.
• 38:29
  Yeah, Megan seems high -main and so. And supposedly
• 38:32
  she's the world's famous side chick. I don't
• 38:35
  think Clay took her as seriously. Do I think
• 38:37
  Clay's stronger along? Yeah. You got my wife
• 38:41
  and probably everybody else's wife and girlfriend
• 38:43
  thinking, well, if Clay Thompson is going to
• 38:46
  cheat on Megan Thee Stallion, what the f*** are
• 38:49
  you going to do to me? There you go. You know,
• 38:51
  although his sitcom The War at Home 20 years
• 38:54
  ago was quite funny. This is very strange. So
• 38:59
  we all know that Blueface is a scumbag, but it's
• 39:03
  a pretty funny internet presence. Here he is
• 39:05
  telling his baby mama to wipe his ass. Probably
• 39:12
  used to that in prison. And all these women that
• 39:22
  let him demean them. Ew, you're so nasty. No,
• 39:28
  you're nasty, blue face. You're a scumbag! And
• 39:32
  all the tattoos on your face make you look like
• 39:34
  a dumpster. There you go. The life and times
• 39:39
  of father of the year and blue face. He's blue
• 39:41
  face! And he's an idiot. And he'll always be
• 39:45
  one! man. Call the show. 856 49 Hoppy. So I guess
• 39:57
  they're making a rush hour for him. Why be original?
• 40:01
  This is an interesting clip that is going viral
• 40:04
  from 25 years ago. Jay Leno asks NSYNC who spends
• 40:08
  the most money? Who spends the most? I don't
• 40:13
  know if he spends the most. He spends it on the
• 40:15
  stupidest things. Joey Fatone, which is why he
• 40:17
  always has to earn money. What's stupid? Having
• 40:22
  your own small theater in your house and it probably
• 40:24
  costs just as much as the house does. It's built
• 40:28
  in like a Star Wars kind of thing. It's not economical.
• 40:33
  They're adorable. Too bad they can't get along.
• 40:36
  I would go to that tour. Donald Trump says he's
• 40:39
  not a pedophile. It was a stunning thing to read,
• 40:41
  Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive
• 40:45
  in it. He writes this quote, administration officials,
• 40:49
  they are targets. And he also wrote this. I'm
• 40:52
  no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist
• 40:55
  and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
• 40:58
  What's your reaction? Well, I was waiting for
• 41:00
  you to read that because I knew you would, because
• 41:02
  you're you're you're horrible people. Oh, you're
• 41:05
  an angel. Shut your orange ass. Horrible people.
• 41:09
  Yeah, he did write that. uh i'm not a rapist
• 41:12
  i didn't rape anybody he does this weird thing
• 41:14
  he did it the other day when he's talking about
• 41:16
  deaf people where he starts to emphasize the
• 41:18
  first letter rapist uh i'm not a pedophile you
• 41:28
  read that crap from some sick person uh i got
• 41:33
  associated with all stuff that has nothing to
• 41:36
  do with me i was totally exonerated your friends
• 41:40
  on the other side of the plate are the ones that
• 41:44
  were involved with, let's say Epstein or other
• 41:47
  things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll
• 41:51
  do this interview and they'll probably, I read
• 41:53
  the manifesto, you know, he's a sick person,
• 41:55
  but you should be ashamed of yourself. All right.
• 41:59
  You should be ashamed of yourself. You're married
• 42:00
  to a prostitute. Did I say that all out? I did.
• 42:06
  She's a bust down. Here is Kristen Cavallari
• 42:11
  telling Call Her Daddy about dating musicians.
• 42:14
  I've dated a lot of athletes. Everyone knows
• 42:17
  I've dated a lot of athletes, had serious relationships,
• 42:20
  flings, whatever. And they're an interesting
• 42:22
  breed. Yeah. Was Jay your first professional
• 42:26
  athlete that you dated? No. I have a few under
• 42:28
  my belt as well. So you kind of already knew.
• 42:30
  Oh, yeah. She's got a long body count. You know,
• 42:35
  it helps when you have them under your belt because
• 42:37
  you kind of know. I get that world. All right,
• 42:39
  shut up. You're annoying. One of those, you know,
• 42:42
  she talks about the breakups because she's never
• 42:44
  the problem. Here's Alex Cooper giving some advice
• 42:49
  to women. I'm sure this is going to be good.
• 42:50
  I've had so many dates where like I had great
• 42:53
  first date kisses and I was like, oh my God,
• 42:55

• 43:12
  come in and i do Like, I don't care. You have
• 43:20
  to go based on what feels good to your body and
• 43:22
  what feels right to you. And so if you have some
• 43:25
  fucking friends that are prudes that are like,
• 43:27
  you should never kiss on the first date. You're
• 43:29
  going to give them the wrong impression. And
• 43:31
  they're just going to think you're a whore. Yeah.
• 43:34
  And you're married to a scumbag. OK, maybe for
• 43:38
  you, Cassandra. But I'm about to let him in my
• 43:41
  back door. Oh, yeah. I feel like sandpaper. It's
• 43:45
  such an overrated act. All right, there you go.
• 43:49
  That is the modern day woman. Mm -hmm. Not all
• 43:53
  of them. But I don't want Allie's friends thinking,
• 43:56
  oh, I'm just saying. Oh, let's see here. Here's
• 43:59
  DJ Academic on Clay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion.
• 44:03
  Y 'all want me to keep it a bean with y 'all?

• 44:14
  -famous side chick, but when they start saying
• 44:16
  the N -word, I get the hell out of there. Scares
• 44:19
  me, and I don't feel like having to edit it.
• 44:21
  Bye -bye. All right. 856 -49 -HOPPY. It's 856
• 44:29
  -494 -6773. Here is Riley Reid. everyone's favorite
• 44:36
  porn star and there's a story online that she
• 44:38
  got religious I don't even know if it's true
• 44:40
  but here she is talking about what she got into
• 44:42
  porn and like even when I started porn like the
• 44:45
  only reason I started was because like I was
• 44:48
  like I'm gonna be on page like nine million and
• 44:51
  like no one's gonna want me like I was like They're
• 44:55
  not going to want small tits. I'm tiny, not voluptuous,
• 44:59
  like a brown hair. I'm basic, basic bitch or
• 45:02
  whatever. I never thought anyone would really
• 45:07
  like me. So that's also why I started it. And
• 45:10
  so at no point was my goal to ever become successful.
• 45:14
  It's so weird how they're human beings. So you
• 45:16
  just spank to it and go about your day. and then
• 45:20
  their videos live online forever he like just
• 45:22
  enjoyed being on set and i just wanted to like
• 45:25
  i wanted like i i think i in porn it's not that
• 45:29
  i was wanting to be successful in porn but i
• 45:30
  wanted like a good repertoire so like when i
• 45:34
  worked for companies i wanted people to like
• 45:36
  like me i wanted to be friendly and pleasant
• 45:39
  and like nice to be around because like and your
• 45:44
  face got painted more than a picasso painting
• 45:49
  Here is a woman talking about how she's good
• 45:51
  with double standards in dating. I'm sure she's
• 45:53
  going to be farty because she's pretty, but I'm
• 45:55
  sure she's going to be farty years old and washed
• 45:57
  up. My relationship, I have a lot. All of these
• 46:01
  are fines. Number one, I have my partner's location,
• 46:05
  but he does not have mine. Because you're cheating
• 46:08
  on him. And then you're going to be like, why
• 46:10
  don't good guys like me? I just like, I want
• 46:14
  some privacy sometimes. I'm not doing anything
• 46:16
  bad. Yeah, it's not true. You're getting banged
• 46:21
  up. But I'm like, when I'm at the mall on a random
• 46:24
  Wednesday at 10 in the morning, like. No one
• 46:26
  needs to know. Anytime. Yeah, because you're
• 46:28
  never. I'm coming home from a trip. He is picking
• 46:31
  me up at the airport. You are not that pretty
• 46:33
  to be acting like this. If it's like four in
• 46:35
  the morning. You're annoying. But if it's like
• 46:38
  past 10 p .m., I'm not picking him up. Like it
• 46:41
  could be unsafe for me to walk in the parking
• 46:43
  garage. All right, there you go. Blah, blah,
• 46:46
  blah. She's probably in high school during COVID,
• 46:49
  which is why she's so weird. Jeffrey Starr says
• 46:52
  he's hooked up with a lot of, says, I guess it's
• 46:55
  a he, says he's hooked up with NBA players and
• 46:57
  rappers. Probably Bobby Valentino. Mm -hmm. Dwight
• 47:02
  Hearn. You guys, what does this mean? NBA guys
• 47:05
  reach out to you? A lot of NBA players and rappers,
• 47:08
  yes. But I have a code where I'm never going
• 47:10
  to out them. And a lot of them have threatened
• 47:12
  to murder me if I ever say their names. Jesus.
• 47:14
  The sex is great. The names are invisible. There
• 47:18
  you go. How do they reach out to you? How do
• 47:21
  they do that? If you had the password to my phone,
• 47:23
  you would shit yourself. But that is like crazy.
• 47:26
  Unless they just know that because that's crazy.
• 47:28
  You got to make sure you don't poop yourself
• 47:29
  before they act. What if that's a huge risk just
• 47:33
  to do that? If they haven't talked to you yet,
• 47:35
  you haven't. Jessica Beal and Justin Timberlake's
• 47:40
  marriage is not done yet. So that's good. Sidney
• 47:47
  Sweeney says that Scooter Braun has changed her
• 47:49
  life. Cash Patel has been arrested before for
• 47:53
  public urination, but he's never drank. Shire
• 47:56
  Magus is stupid. What else? Tom Hanks is proud
• 48:06
  of Chet Hanks at a stagecoach concert. Erica
• 48:08
  Kirk was crying when leaving the White House
• 48:10
  dinner. When is she not crying? A substitute
• 48:15
  teacher is facing a felony charge for an improper
• 48:19
  relationship with a student. She kind of, her
• 48:21
  name is Angela Palarmis, right? I want to make
• 48:26
  sure I say the right name. Yeah, Angela Palmaris.
• 48:30
  And she's very pale. And when you look at those
• 48:34
  eyes, you just know she's a sociopath. I think
• 48:38
  the problem is now that we have pornography,
• 48:41
  I mean, we've always had porn. But now that we
• 48:43
  have porn where we are just seeing people getting
• 48:45
  banged up, their teachers are getting banged
• 48:48
  up all the time, especially in Lionel County,
• 48:52
  Texas, where there's nothing to do. If a man
• 48:54
  does it, he's crucified. But when a woman does
• 48:56
  it, we have the naughty thoughts about, what
• 48:58
  if that was our high school teacher? Sidney Sweeney
• 49:01
  looked hot at a Diplo concert. Good for her.
• 49:05
  People are mad about Jimmy Kimmel's joke about
• 49:07
  Trump. Whatever, dude. I love how MAGA says liberals
• 49:12
  get so easily offended. And then there are the
• 49:14
  ones that seem easily offended. Here's a hot
• 49:19
  girl saying why you should trust awkward people.
• 49:21
  Hear me out. Trust the awkward people. Trust
• 49:24
  the awkward ones. You know why they're awkward?
• 49:26
  I like how she said awkward. Because they literally
• 49:28
  don't know how to act normal as offensive, not
• 49:32
  awkward. They can read the social cues, but they
• 49:35
  don't know how to act appropriately. Because
• 49:37
  they don't know how to act. She sounds like she's...
• 49:40
  Her voice sounds like she's giving head. It's
• 49:43
  very strange. Because they're not... It's like
• 49:45
  she's got a mouthful. Eight. There you go. Eight,
• 49:50
  five, six. 49 Hoppy. Let's see what we got here
• 49:53
  on Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy. Oh, here's Michael
• 49:56
  Blackson reacting to Klay Thompson and Megan
• 49:58
  Thee Stallion's breakup. Thompson, I'm very disappointed
• 50:01
  in you. What? Very disappointed. You don't know
• 50:04
  this side, Mary. She's an annoying hag. I mean,
• 50:07
  Meg is a queen. Oh, my God. That's the problem.
• 50:11
  It's all the men are beta. Because now they're
• 50:14
  all like, I hope I can bang her. She won't piss
• 50:17
  on you if you're on fire. I can promise you that.
• 50:20
  She's hot. She's beautiful. Got her life together.
• 50:23
  He probably was freaking out when she took off
• 50:25
  the hair and the wig and the weave and was like,
• 50:27
  oh, my God. That's true. You ain't no snow bunny.
• 50:31
  Successful. Whatever, dude. She just seems like
• 50:35
  a brat. Although she does Kegels, which I like.
• 50:40
  Melania Trump wants Jimmy Kimmel fired. What?
• 50:43
  Right at the head. Yeah, president! Cindy Lauper
• 50:49
  said during Vegas, I'm from Brooklyn. I will
• 50:51
  come and get you to the heckler. She doesn't
• 50:53
  sound crazy or anything. Today on TMZ. Okay,
• 51:01
  Superman. is causing a prison riot in Atlanta.
• 51:08
  Superman is filming at the FCI Atlanta prison.
• 51:11
  The inmates are very upset because they are being
• 51:14
  forced to stay in their cells for longer. You
• 51:16
  know what they're probably saying? Because they
• 51:17
  can't go to, like, the lounge. The lounge. That
• 51:22
  sounds so good. So we obtained video of Dylan
• 51:27
  Sprouse looking like he's holding a gun when
• 51:30
  this trespasser came to his house. So we had
• 51:33
  heard he had apprehended the guy. He's a badass.
• 51:38
  I just said that. I had the gym represents him
• 51:40
  and was telling me about it. Represents Dylan?
• 51:42
  Represents Dylan, yeah. Or cuts his hair, I think,
• 51:45
  actually. Sierra Miller has joined Dancing with
• 51:52
  the Stars. Following the Amanda. What a hot piece
• 51:55
  of ass shoes. West drama. Who's the other person
• 51:58
  that got on? Maura Higgins. I don't know who
• 52:00
  that is though. The hot chick from Creators.
• 52:02
  Show them her body and they'll remember. Ooh,
• 52:04
  look at Maura. Can I just tell you, hot girls
• 52:07
  are a dime a dozen on these shows. But the ones
• 52:11
  that get cheated on are special. Look at Devin's
• 52:13
  slow -mo, dude. Charlize Theron went after Timothy
• 52:20
  Chalamet. We should on other art forms. I think.
• 52:23
  Oh, shut up. Yeah. AI is going to be able to
• 52:26
  do Timothy's job. I don't think so. What about
• 52:30
  your job? What have you done recently for me,
• 52:32
  honey? She's right. I mean, you guys are. All
• 52:34
  right. So that's when they go on talking. Blah,
• 52:36
  blah, blah. It's like that scene from The Critic.
• 52:39
  Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. If you've
• 52:42
  seen The Critic, you get it. Okay, whatever.
• 52:48
  Charlie Sheen says he's open to rekindling his
• 52:50
  friendship with former co -star John Pryor. You
• 52:53
  know John Pryor wants nothing to do with him.
• 52:57
  but simply doesn't want to bother him. I would
• 53:00
  agree with that. In an interview with People
• 53:02
  Mag published April 24th, Charlie reveals he
• 53:05
  is still not connected with his former Two and
• 53:07
  a Half Men co -star, since Sean participated
• 53:09
  in Charlie's Netflix Doctor series released September
• 53:12
  2025, because he doesn't like to bother people.
• 53:16
  Still, Charlie admits he's grateful to John for
• 53:18
  taking part in his documentary, which included
• 53:20
  detailed accounts about Shane's life from his
• 53:23
  family, friends, exes, and former castmates.
• 53:26
  Charlie sang at the panel discussion for people.
• 53:29
  All right, so there you go. Hopefully I can get
• 53:32
  along. Life's short. And you both made a lot
• 53:34
  of money. Happy Hot Topic. Here is Vinny. From
• 53:42
  Jersey Shore interviewing Pauly D, which I'm
• 53:44
  sure you knew it was Pauly D when he said. Yeah,
• 53:46
  buddy. He probably hears cabs are here. T -shirt
• 53:50
  time, you know. T -shirt time's a big one. So
• 53:52
  she's allowed. Here he is saying if his daughter's
• 53:56
  seen his show. To watch the family vacation,
• 53:58
  but not the earlier episodes. She's not allowed
• 54:01
  to watch those, so I have to put the parental
• 54:02
  controls on. Oh, yeah, they didn't think about
• 54:06
  their future when they were running trains and
• 54:08
  that. He's saying, would you let her do reality
• 54:13
  TV? Here's the next one. How do you feel about
• 54:23
  family vacation coming to an end? I don't believe
• 54:33
  it'll come to an end. I believe! It'll be like
• 54:36
  Jersey Shore nursing home. The family. We're
• 54:41
  just excited to see kind of like what's next.
• 54:44
  What's next will be another show. They originally
• 54:47
  did it to help the situation pay off those legal
• 54:49
  bills. You can certainly buy yourself flowers,
• 54:55
  but that didn't stop her from receiving several
• 54:58
  bouquets for her birthday. She's so cute. Including
• 55:01
  one from boyfriend Bradley Cooper. The model
• 55:04
  ringing in her 31st... Alright, so she got flowers.
• 55:07
  Good for her. Hmm. Cameron Gregg, the husband
• 55:13
  of late TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Gregg, is
• 55:15
  engaged to be married once again, 18 months after
• 55:19
  Taylor's untimely passing. And then everybody
• 55:21
  was commenting how they're judging him for moving
• 55:23
  on. The person's dead. You gotta move on. Happy
• 55:26
  Hot Topic! Jamie Lynn Spears gets emotional over
• 55:31
  her daughter's next chapter. On April 24th, the
• 55:35
  actress shares a bittersweet Instagram post revealing
• 55:38
  her daughter Maddie is about to graduate high
• 55:41
  school. The Zoey 101 star posts a series of photos
• 55:44
  from senior year snapshots to sweet throwbacks
• 55:48
  of Maddie as a baby, writing in the caption,
• 55:51
  the grad invites are sent, the cap and gown arrived,
• 55:54
  and the last regular day of school is here. I
• 55:57
  guess the lovely state of... The denial that
• 55:59
  I forced myself to be in has to end because the
• 56:02
  reality of time is coming at me like a freight
• 56:05
  train. Here comes the middle of chaos. Rob Reiner's
• 56:11
  oldest son is grieving out loud. Jake Reiner
• 56:14
  opened up at length for the first time about
• 56:16
  his parents' murders, penning a heartbreaking
• 56:19
  Substack essay that reflected on the moment he
• 56:22
  learned that both Rob and his wife Michelle had
• 56:24
  died. and the impact their losses have had on
• 56:27
  the family since. I was robbed of so many things
• 56:30
  that day. My parents won't be at my wedding,
• 56:33
  they won't get to hold their future grandchild,
• 56:35
  and they won't get to see me have the successful
• 56:37
  career I'm still seeking. It simultaneously breaks
• 56:40
  my heart and enrages me, he wrote in part. Nothing
• 56:44
  can prepare you for what it feels like to lose
• 56:46
  both parents instantly at the same time. Especially
• 56:49
  to your brother. It's too devastating to comprehend.
• 56:52
  I still wake up every morning having to convince
• 56:54
  myself that, no, it's not a dream. This truly
• 56:57
  is my living nightmare. I'm sorry, bud. 856 -49
• 57:02
  -HOPPY. So supposedly the people that took the
• 57:04
  picture of Diana Rossini and Mike Frabel were
• 57:07
  not, it was not a private eye. Anthony Edwards,
• 57:11
  baby mamas are going after him in court. When
• 57:14
  you got two pissed off baby mamas, that ain't
• 57:16
  good. What do we got here? We got that story.
• 57:21
  And then we'll get to Megan Thee Stallion in
• 57:23
  a second. Here's a clip of, I believe it's Diana
• 57:25
  Rossini. Here she is talking about Mike Rabel's
• 57:28
  big hands. Room and he's confident and he's physically
• 57:34
  a big human being. Hell yeah. Yeah. And it's
• 57:38
  a little startling at first. Very normal. I'm
• 57:42
  big, too. All right, when I say this to you,
• 57:44
  right? These are all facts, by the way, and we
• 57:46
  love Coach Frabel, and he is, I mean, that's
• 57:48
  what I'd want out of my football coach. Correct.
• 57:50
  His hands and he's inside me. Mm -hmm. Ah, there's
• 57:55
  this, too. There could be wedding bells in store
• 57:58
  for Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz. According to
• 58:02
  a new report from Page Six, a source has confirmed
• 58:05
  that the couple are engaged after eight months
• 58:08
  of dating, with an insider telling the outlet
• 58:10
  that Harry is, quote, completely smitten, while
• 58:13
  Zoe herself. I'm smitten too, really. Is on cloud
• 58:17
  nine. The pair first sparked engagement rumors
• 58:20
  over the weekend when the high fidelity actress
• 58:22
  was spotted rocking what appeared to be a massive
• 58:25
  diamond ring on her. So they're probably engaged.
• 58:29
  And she's so freaking hot. Mm -hmm. 856 -49 -HAPPY.
• 58:35
  And then there is this. Happy Hot Topic. Mm -hmm.
• 58:42
  I know a lot of people don't understand that
• 58:44
  I'm like dating and hanging out and just like
• 58:46
  having fun. Jessie Draper details her healing
• 58:48
  journey after her divorce. One month after her
• 58:52
  estranged husband, Jordan Nadikara, filed for
• 58:55
  divorce, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star
• 58:58
  reflects on her five -year marriage and life
• 59:00
  after the split. She candidly explains in her
• 59:03
  April 25th Instagram video. I did a lot of mourning
• 59:07
  in my relationship. I don't know if anyone can
• 59:09
  relate to that. When you're in a relationship
• 59:11
  where... you don't feel valued and you don't
• 59:13
  feel like you were treated well. All right, so
• 59:16
  she's doing that thing women do where they're
• 59:19
  putting on their makeup and they're calling out
• 59:21
  the men because they're never the problem. It's
• 59:23
  everyone else. All right. Let's talk about this.
• 59:28
  Let's see if there's copyright. Ready whenever
• 59:32
  you are, Michael. The Michael Jackson movie broke
• 59:38
  box office records amid the controversy. Absolutely
• 59:45
  ridiculous. That he left the biggest part of
• 59:49
  his life being a probable pedophile. How could
• 59:52
  it be offensive? Here's the thing. I don't feel
• 59:55
  like talking about it again. So what we're going
• 59:58
  to do, I'm going to play you the rant I did about
• 1:00:02
  it the other day. Just so that, you know. We
• 1:00:06
  can relive the memories of me being outspoken.
• 1:00:10
  We'll be back in two minutes and 43 seconds.
• 1:00:18
  I saw this headline here. And I kind of knew
• 1:00:22
  this was going to happen. But I still couldn't
• 1:00:25
  believe it. You know what it is? We all know.
• 1:00:32
  that Michael Jackson is probably a pedophile.
• 1:00:35
  If you're a kiss -ass fan of his, he wouldn't
• 1:00:39
  piss on you if you're on fire. He'd piss on you
• 1:00:41
  sexually. And I'm telling you, we all know he
• 1:00:44
  was guilty. And supposedly, they left that part
• 1:00:47
  out of the movie. Just two years after Michael
• 1:00:50
  Jackson's song, Black or White, which is about
• 1:00:52
  unity, was released, fans were divided when he
• 1:00:55
  was accused of child molestation. Allegation.
• 1:00:57
  Yeah, that was the time as a kid where I learned
• 1:01:00
  what a pedophile was. My parents were so uncomfortable
• 1:01:04
  in the car. They didn't know what to say. Because
• 1:01:07
  he's a pedophile. And that's all he is. Since
• 1:01:10
  he consistently denied. Michael, we have Michael.
• 1:01:13
  Of course he's going to deny it. What's he going
• 1:01:15
  to say? I love kids. who obtained the biopic's
• 1:01:21
  original script reports any scenes that depicted
• 1:01:23
  the Dark Chapter in Jackson's life had to be
• 1:01:26
  cut. Oh, yeah! Because why? Why have an honest
• 1:01:30
  documentary? He was found innocent! So in the
• 1:01:34
  movie, it would be that he won, even though I
• 1:01:36
  don't believe he's innocent. But, oh, the Michael
• 1:01:39
  Jackson fans that are giant accent boomers are
• 1:01:43
  so frickin' whipped by him. Mm -hmm. Let's just
• 1:01:47
  rewrite the past. to Variety Sources, a sequence
• 1:01:53
  where investigators arrive at Jackson's Neverland
• 1:01:55
  Ranch searching for evidence was one of many
• 1:01:58
  removed from the film due to legal reasons. I'm
• 1:02:01
  sure the legal reasons are they didn't want to
• 1:02:03
  hit it. It's a part of his life! Cut. Those changes
• 1:02:08
  in the film directed by Antoine Fuqua reportedly
• 1:02:10
  resulted in a $10 -15 million 22 -day reshoot.
• 1:02:15
  Oh yeah, they gotta reshoot it. Why hide? And
• 1:02:18
  why be honest? adding to the film's already $155
• 1:02:22
  million budget. Listen, I loved, I had his box
• 1:02:26
  set. It was like a big white box set and I loved
• 1:02:28
  his music. And once I found out more about him,
• 1:02:31
  he just creeps me out, man. He gives me bad vibes.
• 1:02:36
  Creeps me out, man. It's not good vibes. I don't
• 1:02:41
  look at Michael Jackson and go, oh yeah, I want
• 1:02:44
  to hang out with him. I used to do videos. I
• 1:02:48
  didn't get the million dollar budget. All right,
• 1:02:51
  I can't play any more of this because it's got
• 1:02:52
  copyright. But yeah, you all enable it. And you
• 1:02:56
  all covered it up. It's ridiculous. Hi, I'm back.
• 1:03:04
  I was just afraid that the Today Show video would
• 1:03:08

• 1:03:29
  is recovering from her wardrobe malfunction.
• 1:03:31
  Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelo sat down with the...
• 1:03:33
  Such an overused word. Unless we're seeing Janet
• 1:03:35
  Jackson's nipple. Daddy! median for an interview
• 1:03:38
  in an April 22nd episode of Live with Kelly and
• 1:03:41
  Mark. But Nikki may have sat down too confidently,
• 1:03:45
  letting her underwear peek through. Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:49
  Let's see the veg. There you go. Oh, wait. You
• 1:03:53
  can see your underpants. Oh. It's just for you.
• 1:03:56
  Yeah, I know. Oh, right down the barrel. Sorry.
• 1:03:58
  It's for you. And all the guys that bang because
• 1:04:01
  I'm in an open relationship. Mm -hmm. I love
• 1:04:05
  Nikki Glaser, though. Thinks she's so freaking
• 1:04:08
  hot. She is. She seems a little crazy, but in
• 1:04:12
  like a fun way. Mm -hmm. 856 -49 -HOPPY. That's
• 1:04:17
  856 -494 -6773. So I guess Al Pacino and his
• 1:04:26
  30 -year -old wife got into it. Mm -hmm. In public.
• 1:04:30
  Yeah. Literally old enough to be your great -grandpa.
• 1:04:33
  Your brother's streets. Bill Belichick and Jordan
• 1:04:39
  Hudson went to a play together. They're so insufferable.
• 1:04:42
  I feel like the bad coaching year he had for,
• 1:04:45
  what was it, UNC? I feel like that kind of shut
• 1:04:47
  him down a little bit. The Reagan shooter John
• 1:04:52
  Hinckley says that they need to shut down big
• 1:04:54
  events. You know things are bad when that moron
• 1:05:00
  is giving advice. Ben Stiller tweeted out, get
• 1:05:06
  it done, pretty much saying that you need to
• 1:05:09
  get Donald Trump shot. He's such a liberal twat.
• 1:05:12
  Like, listen, I don't like Trump. I think he's
• 1:05:14
  a scumbag. But I don't think someone should just
• 1:05:18
  die. Do I like the guy? No. He's an idiot. He's
• 1:05:22
  stupid. He's a moron. But there's that. I'm just
• 1:05:28
  trying to, like, kind of push off the news about
• 1:05:30
  Megan Thee Stallion. We'll get to her in a sec,
• 1:05:32
  I promise. Prince Harry slams a suggestion that
• 1:05:36
  he's no longer a member of the royal family.
• 1:05:43
  Six years after the Duke of Sussex and his wife,
• 1:05:45
  Meghan Markle, stepped back from their duties
• 1:05:47
  in the Royal family and relocated to California.
• 1:05:50
  They have to chase after their dreams of a failed
• 1:05:55
  podcast and a failed Netflix show. Was it worth
• 1:06:00
  it, bud? He is addressing critics who say he's
• 1:06:02
  no longer part of the legacy. Harry asserts in
• 1:06:05
  an April 24th interview with ITV News during
• 1:06:08
  a visit to Ukraine. I will always be part of
• 1:06:11
  the royal family. I'm here working and doing
• 1:06:14
  the very thing that I was born to do, and I enjoy
• 1:06:16
  doing it. Whatever. I bet you enjoy doing it,
• 1:06:19
  Megan. Hopefully it shows in your teeth. All
• 1:06:22
  right. Speaking of someone to pride us, here's
• 1:06:24
  Megan Thee Stallion news. Megan Thee Stallion
• 1:06:29
  and Klay Thompson are going their separate ways.
• 1:06:32
  Yeah, I mean, it ain't cool that it seems like
• 1:06:34
  Klay Thompson... stronger along, whatever. But
• 1:06:38
  her immediate thing of going on social media
• 1:06:40
  and slamming him, my ex did that. It's when they
• 1:06:43
  have nothing else. I'm not saying Megan Thee
• 1:06:45
  Stallion's not a famous rapper, but that's them
• 1:06:47
  trying to get ahead of the fact that they probably
• 1:06:50
  weren't innocent in the relationship. And it's
• 1:06:52
  always the man's fault. And by the way, you know,
• 1:06:56
  Tory Lanez is like, see, I told you. I told you
• 1:07:00
  she's annoying. Mm -hmm. I told you she never
• 1:07:05
  shuts up. She never does. She never shuts up.
• 1:07:10
  Mm -hmm. Yeah, she needs to keep talking. And
• 1:07:14
  her food's average. Mm -hmm. On April 25th, the
• 1:07:19
  rapper takes her Instagram stories to call out
• 1:07:22
  the NBA player for his alleged infidelity. Yeah,
• 1:07:25
  it didn't make sense because he's always in the
• 1:07:27
  snow bodies and, like, being underwater in San
• 1:07:29
  Francisco and being an aye -aye captain. And
• 1:07:32
  then he's dating this, like, Girl, this is not
• 1:07:34
  his type. And she deceives so high maintenance.
• 1:07:41
  The message reads, cheating had me around your
• 1:07:44
  whole family playing house on cold feet, holding
• 1:07:47
  you down through all of your horrible mood swings
• 1:07:49
  and treatment tours. See, that's what I'm talking
• 1:07:51
  about. I'm sure you never have mood swings, honey.
• 1:07:55
  You look like a walking Muslim. During your basketball
• 1:07:59
  season. Now you don't know if you can be monogamous.
• 1:08:02
  I don't think I could be monogamous with you
• 1:08:04
  either. You're a nine. You keep talking. I need
• 1:08:08
  a real break after this one. Yeah, you do. And
• 1:08:11
  then you'll be with the next guy tomorrow. The
• 1:08:12
  rapper also tells E! News in an April 25th statement,
• 1:08:16
  I've made the decision to end my relationship
• 1:08:17
  with Clay. Bye. Trust, fidelity, and respect
• 1:08:21
  are non -negotiable for me in a relationship.
• 1:08:24
  Even though you're known as a side chick. And
• 1:08:27
  now you're trying to rewrite the past. And when
• 1:08:31
  those values are compromised, there's no real
• 1:08:33
  path forward. All right. Whatever. Megan Thee
• 1:08:37
  Stallion gets emotional on stage after her breakup.
• 1:08:41
  Oh, yeah. I feel like because she has new music
• 1:08:43
  allegedly coming on. I feel like this is like
• 1:08:45
  an attention. Mm -hmm. Grab. They're confirming
• 1:08:49
  her split from NBA player Klay Thompson. The
• 1:08:52
  rapper has a tearful moment during her April
• 1:08:55
  25th performance of Moulin Rouge, the musical
• 1:08:58
  in New York City. Ah, it's the riveting stuff.
• 1:09:01
  I can't imagine an NBA player wants to go to
• 1:09:03
  your place. seen in a social media video the
• 1:09:07
  grammy winner who plays ziddler tears up during
• 1:09:09
  the curtain call before turning her back to the
• 1:09:12
  audience oh yeah show your ass that's what you're
• 1:09:14
  famous for wipe away tears as the applause grows
• 1:09:18
  louder all right there you go why are you having
• 1:09:21
  stuff clay you're probably better off but you
• 1:09:24
  gotta not string women along RyanHoppyRadio .com
• 1:09:41
  Hoppy Hour will be right back. You probably had
• 1:09:44
  Taco Bell before. Whenever we're going outside,
• 1:09:47
  all I smell is poop. And we'll call it a day.
• 1:09:54
  The semen was so big. As a reminder, if you don't
• 1:09:58
  feel like listening to this next song, you can
• 1:10:00
  skip over it. But Ryan Hoppy of Hoppy Hour takes
• 1:10:03
  pride in his selection, so stick around, folks.
• 1:10:07
  Don't worry. All right, so I'm going to upload
• 1:10:12
  this as its own individual episode, but also
• 1:10:14
  for my affiliates. I already posted it the other
• 1:10:17
  day, but here is my interview with Pete Kostanis
• 1:10:19
  from a year ago. Love you, bro. This is Pete
• 1:10:51
  Kostanis. What's up? This is Hoppy Hour. I am
• 1:10:54
  your host, Ryan Hoppy. And from the Vanished
• 1:10:57
  Chicagoland online brand and the Vanished Chicago
• 1:11:00
  Stories, the podcast, the one and only Pete Kostanis
• 1:11:05
  is on Hoppy Hour. What's up, my man? I'm doing
• 1:11:09
  great. How about you? I'm doing great, man. I
• 1:11:12
  find you absolutely fascinating, Pete. I grew
• 1:11:16
  up in Chicago from 1993 to 2014. Then I moved
• 1:11:19
  to Cleveland briefly, and then I moved to Tampa,
• 1:11:22
  and I've been here 10 years. And I miss the city,
• 1:11:25
  but I don't. But I always love following Chicago
• 1:11:28
  pages that kind of remind me why I got into radio
• 1:11:31
  and podcasting. And I looked something up about
• 1:11:34
  97 .9 The Loop, and you shared some post about
• 1:11:36
  two, three years ago, and I followed your page.
• 1:11:39
  And I absolutely love, Pete, how you're keeping
• 1:11:42
  the Vanished Chicago memories that we have, the
• 1:11:46
  Vanished Chicagoland memories, you are keeping
• 1:11:48
  them alive. Oh, yes. I'm still doing this every
• 1:11:52
  day. People love it. I'm getting a lot of praise
• 1:11:55
  and getting a lot of followers, of course. It's
• 1:11:59
  my passion. I love doing it every day. So what
• 1:12:03
  was the process? Obviously, you can go to pages
• 1:12:06
  on Facebook and just create a Facebook page,
• 1:12:08
  but what was the process of just how did this
• 1:12:11
  brand explode so fast, or did it take time, or
• 1:12:14
  what was the whole process? Okay, well, I'll
• 1:12:19
  start at the beginning. One day I was searching
• 1:12:21
  through Facebook, and I noticed there was a business
• 1:12:24
  page, and it was called Dispensers Castle of
• 1:12:27
  Toys. I don't know if you remember that. Oprah
• 1:12:32
  Harris. And I look at it and I say, well, why
• 1:12:35
  is there a business page when it's out of business?
• 1:12:39
  You know, I think it was a tribute page. So I
• 1:12:42
  thought to myself, why don't I do something like
• 1:12:45
  that and celebrate all businesses that are gone?
• 1:12:48
  So I started, it was first called Chicago Extreme
• 1:12:52
  Businesses. So I started slowly and surely for
• 1:12:55
  a couple of years. And then someone reached out
• 1:12:58
  to me. It was from a local newspaper. And asked
• 1:13:01
  me, I'd like to do an interview with you. And
• 1:13:03
  I said, okay. And then so he interviewed me.
• 1:13:06
  And then he published the interview online. And
• 1:13:10
  then that's when it took off. And I had like
• 1:13:12
  about 32 ,000 likes in one day. Damn. Yeah, I
• 1:13:18
  know. I was like, wait a minute. Wow. And then
• 1:13:22
  that was my moment of being famous. for that.
• 1:13:26
  And then I've been interviewed on radio, interviewed
• 1:13:29
  on newspapers. I haven't been on TV yet. Not
• 1:13:32
  so far. Not yet. So now people associate with
• 1:13:36
  me with that. And it's been like that ever since.
• 1:13:39
  And it gets popular and popular and popular.
• 1:13:42
  And I still receive texts and emails from people.
• 1:13:46
  Can you please find me this? Can you post this
• 1:13:48
  for me? I get a lot of requests every day. That's
• 1:13:52
  the majority of my day of answering that. And
• 1:13:54
  then the media took notice, and they love it,
• 1:13:59
  and it's wonderful. And let's see, what else?
• 1:14:03
  So I created a group, too. So right now I have
• 1:14:10
  about almost 240 ,000 members. And it's still
• 1:14:15
  growing. So what are some of the radio shows
• 1:14:18
  you've been on? I've been on WGN Radio, WBZ,
• 1:14:24
  WBBM. Yeah, I've been to three of those. I'm
• 1:14:27
  trying to think. There must be one more. Oh,
• 1:14:30
  I was on The Loop. With Mancow. How was that?
• 1:14:33
  I grew up loving that guy, and I've DM'd him,
• 1:14:37
  and he's a fascinating cat. Not everybody likes
• 1:14:39
  him, but what was your experience with him? He
• 1:14:42
  was very quiet, and he liked me. I didn't talk
• 1:14:46
  to him much. But he was very interested, so that
• 1:14:51
  was good. As long as I was on the show with him,
• 1:14:53
  that was great. That was a very interesting experience
• 1:14:55
  for me. What did he have? Did he have women there?
• 1:14:59
  Because he's always got seven guests on. He had
• 1:15:03
  a few men. There was one girl there. Her name
• 1:15:08
  was Kathy. Oh, Kathy's awesome. Yeah, Kathy the
• 1:15:11
  Greek. Yeah, she's the one who contacted me and
• 1:15:16
  asked me to appear. Yeah, she's very sweet. Very
• 1:15:19
  sweet person. And so, yeah, so that was my experience
• 1:15:23
  for Mancow. And I've done an interview on the
• 1:15:27
  radio throughout the years, maybe once a year,
• 1:15:30
  maybe once or twice a year. And I had newspaper
• 1:15:34
  articles. I had one from the Sun -Times about
• 1:15:37
  a couple years ago. And magazines. Yeah, I was
• 1:15:43
  interviewed by Chicago Magazine. Very nice. Yeah,
• 1:15:47
  that was very good. And it's amazing, you know,
• 1:15:50
  because a lot of people, you know, they love
• 1:15:54
  the page. They love that. And also, you know,
• 1:15:57
  they're also concerned about my health and what's
• 1:16:00
  going on. So that's, I get a lot of support.
• 1:16:04
  That's got to be awesome because I always feel
• 1:16:07
  like when you're facing cancer, why not be positive?
• 1:16:10
  You know what I mean? Yes. Because I caught it
• 1:16:15
  early. And I always tell people, mostly men,
• 1:16:19
  because it's prostate cancer, please go see,
• 1:16:22
  if there's something wrong with you, if there's
• 1:16:24
  nothing right, please go see a doctor. It'll
• 1:16:27
  save your life. And some men are stubborn, but
• 1:16:31
  some do. And they thank me for that. You know,
• 1:16:36
  it's very touching. You know, it's almost the
• 1:16:38
  tears, you know, they tell me that, yeah. Well,
• 1:16:41
  what you said, you know, that you're very inspiring
• 1:16:44
  to do that. Now, growing up, for example, I interviewed
• 1:16:50
  Mark Giancarlo last year, and he said that Chicago
• 1:16:53
  radio and TV was like the Hollywood of Los Angeles.
• 1:16:58
  So everybody knew all the anchors. Everybody
• 1:17:00
  knew all the radio hosts. And I feel like it's
• 1:17:02
  not the same as it was back in the day. Who were
• 1:17:05
  some of your favorite TV and radio people from
• 1:17:08
  Chicago? When I was growing up, I liked Bob Surratt
• 1:17:13
  and John Landecker and people else. You know,
• 1:17:19
  there's so many. As a matter of fact, Bob Surratt
• 1:17:23
  knows what I'm doing. That's kind of cool. Yeah,
• 1:17:27
  it is. But right now, the people that like me
• 1:17:31
  a lot is the people from WGN TV. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:17:36
  they like... They like what I do. And I do talk
• 1:17:39
  to them from time to time. You know, and let's
• 1:17:44
  see who else. But mostly some from WLS, you know,
• 1:17:48
  Chicago, you know, television. Yeah, I talk to
• 1:17:49
  a few people like that. Channel 2, Channel 5,
• 1:17:52
  not much, not really. But whenever I post something
• 1:17:57
  on X or Facebook, they do see that and they reply
• 1:18:01
  or they like it. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, so
• 1:18:04
  all of them know who I am, what I do. And it's
• 1:18:08
  wonderful. I feel like I'm in this group of them.
• 1:18:13
  Do you understand? Oh, no, I get it. There is
• 1:18:15
  the saying, you don't want to meet your heroes.
• 1:18:17
  But the one exception for me is Eddie Volkman
• 1:18:20
  from the Eddie and Jobo show. I grew up listening
• 1:18:22
  to Eddie and Jobo. I can't specify enough how
• 1:18:25
  much I love the Eddie and Jobo show. And I sat
• 1:18:28
  in on Eddie Volkman's show at Star 96 .7 back
• 1:18:31
  in like August. And he's done some liners for
• 1:18:35
  me. And it's so cool. I bet you have the same
• 1:18:37
  feeling about Bob Surratt. It's so cool when
• 1:18:40
  you actually meet a hero that's like a big supporter
• 1:18:43
  and fan, you know? Oh yeah, it's great. And I
• 1:18:47
  do talk to Eddie on Facebook. He's great. I love
• 1:18:51
  Eddie. He is a wonderful man. Wonderful man indeed.
• 1:18:54
  Because I talk about his dad, you know, Harry
• 1:18:56
  Volkman. He did the weather. So Eddie, you know,
• 1:19:00
  sometimes he posts something and I say something
• 1:19:02
  funny. Yeah. And he starts laughing at me. Yeah,
• 1:19:07
  we communicate. You know, he's a wonderful man.
• 1:19:10
  He really is. He's a good guy. Where did you
• 1:19:12
  grow up in Chicago? Actually, I grew up in three
• 1:19:16
  neighborhoods in Chicago, on the south side.
• 1:19:19
  One was South Shore. I lived there when I was
• 1:19:23
  six. Then I moved to Roseland for five years
• 1:19:26
  because my dad owned a property there. We lived
• 1:19:30
  in an apartment building above a shoe store.
• 1:19:33
  And then in 1974, I moved to Ashburn, that's
• 1:19:36
  on the south side, and lived there for about
• 1:19:39
  25 years. And because I went to Bogan High School,
• 1:19:45
  you know, I went there. And then in 1995, I moved,
• 1:19:49
  and then I moved to Oklahoma. So I'm a suburbanite.
• 1:19:52
  I've been a suburbanite for, but most of my life,
• 1:19:55
  I've been a Chicagoan, a true Chicagoan. I've
• 1:19:58
  always been. I'm from. Arlington Heights. I went
• 1:20:00
  to Hersey High School, Thomas Middle School,
• 1:20:03
  Pat, and did you ever have any experience in
• 1:20:06
  the Heights? In Arlington Heights? Not really,
• 1:20:10
  but I used to work in Rolling Meadows. Oh, nice.
• 1:20:14
  Yeah, American Express Travel. I worked there
• 1:20:17
  for about 12 years. And I did, you know, Arlington
• 1:20:21
  Heights is nearby, you know. And so, yeah, I'm
• 1:20:25
  very familiar with the area. So that was the
• 1:20:27
  best job I ever had. And I worked as a ticketer.
• 1:20:30
  I issued tickets. And I still miss the job to
• 1:20:34
  this day. I really miss it. You know what's one
• 1:20:39
  thing that is the biggest difference about Florida
• 1:20:42
  and Illinois? Like let's say when Dominic's went
• 1:20:46
  out of business in 2013 and they closed a lot
• 1:20:48
  of the stores in 04, the lot will remain empty
• 1:20:51
  for 20 years in Florida. Something gets picked
• 1:20:54
  up six months later. And that was the biggest
• 1:20:57
  thing I've noticed about the difference. I've
• 1:20:59
  always, I was always fascinated by dead malls.
• 1:21:02
  I loved Randhurst mall and I always loved like
• 1:21:05
  me and my friends, maybe we were smoking weed,
• 1:21:06
  but we would be hanging out in front of like
• 1:21:09
  the empty Dominic's in prospect Heights. It's
• 1:21:13
  something, you don't think about until you move,
• 1:21:15
  Pete, is there's a lot of empty lots in Illinois.
• 1:21:17
  It's just fascinating. Yeah, there is. Most of
• 1:21:22
  Dominic's have been replaced. I know a couple
• 1:21:25
  on the south side that haven't. So I don't know
• 1:21:27
  what's going on. But I miss the store. I really
• 1:21:31
  do. It was a great store. Dominic's Pizza was
• 1:21:34
  the absolute best. Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't think
• 1:21:40
  I ever had their pizza. I had Jules. It was $5.
• 1:21:44
  My mom couldn't afford like Domino's and that,
• 1:21:47
  so we would go there and I would get a fruit
• 1:21:49
  punch soda. It was the best. Oh, that's great.
• 1:21:53
  Yeah, that sounds good. That's a great memory.
• 1:21:55
  Oh, dude, phenomenal. The one thing I want to
• 1:21:59
  ask you. What's been the biggest difference in
• 1:22:03
  Chicago from when you were growing up to now?
• 1:22:05
  Obviously, I think the crime has gotten worse,
• 1:22:08
  but what's the big difference you notice in the
• 1:22:10
  city? It keeps changing. You know, businesses
• 1:22:18
  come and go. They really do. You know, department
• 1:22:24
  stores are gone, mostly, you know, downtown,
• 1:22:27
  which is a shame. You know, like Marshall Fields
• 1:22:30
  and Carson's. What's the other one? Like, top
• 1:22:35
  of my head. There was Litton's and all that.
• 1:22:38
  Sears? And then, of course, yeah, there was,
• 1:22:39
  yes, of course, there was Sears. And then we
• 1:22:43
  had the other stores, like the discount stores,
• 1:22:45
  like Zare, Venture. Now we have Target and Walmart.
• 1:22:51
  But we had those when I was a kid and they were
• 1:22:55
  great stores. So it evolves. Everything evolves
• 1:23:00
  like that. And, you know, but there are some
• 1:23:04
  most people want some of the stores back, especially
• 1:23:07
  Marshall Fields. They want it back. They want
• 1:23:10
  it back so badly. I do, too. But we don't know
• 1:23:14
  if it is going to come back because whoever runs
• 1:23:18
  the store is stubborn. But I have a feeling once
• 1:23:23
  we bring back the name, it'll be wonderful. It'll
• 1:23:26
  be awesome. People will come back because they
• 1:23:29
  miss it. And I miss it too. So we'll see. What
• 1:23:34
  did you think of Sears? I'm not going to say
• 1:23:37
  which family member because it's easy to find
• 1:23:38
  online, but I have a family member that was the
• 1:23:41
  head executive for like the Midwest branch of
• 1:23:43
  Sears. And I remember around 05, 06 when I was
• 1:23:46
  really beginning to pick up memories, she was
• 1:23:48
  always concerned because Amazon was coming around
• 1:23:51
  and just kind of doing its thing. What did you
• 1:23:54
  think of Sears and its prime and what happened
• 1:23:57
  to it? Let's see what happened. You know, back
• 1:23:59
  in the old days, like the 50s and the 60s and
• 1:24:03
  maybe early 70s, it was a wonderful store. Their,
• 1:24:06
  you know, their management was great. You know,
• 1:24:09
  customer service was so top notch. And then it
• 1:24:14
  just all of a sudden just declined, you know,
• 1:24:19
  and then when you go to Sears before it closed,
• 1:24:22
  you couldn't find a salesperson, you know. And
• 1:24:25
  it was like, what the heck? So, and then, you
• 1:24:29
  know, but it's so nostalgic, you know, people
• 1:24:31
  miss, miss the store very much because whenever
• 1:24:34
  you need something, you go to, you go there.
• 1:24:37
  If you want a washing machine or you want to
• 1:24:39
  buy a Kenmore or a stove or refrigerator, boom,
• 1:24:42
  there it is. You pick it, you go and buy it and
• 1:24:45
  pick it up, you know, and it was always available.
• 1:24:50
  It was right there. It was accessible like that.
• 1:24:53
  And, but, Now it's gone, which is a shame, because
• 1:24:59
  they had the Tusken jeans, they had the die -hard
• 1:25:05
  batteries, you know, and, of course, those Sears
• 1:25:10
  wish books, they come out every year for Christmas.
• 1:25:13
  Oh, that was awesome, you know. But I do post
• 1:25:16
  now and then, you know, about Sears stuff. because
• 1:25:20
  the last one closed in Woodfield, in Schaumburg.
• 1:25:24
  That was the way I got into Woodfield, was either
• 1:25:27
  that or Carson's. Yes. Carson's was a great store.
• 1:25:32
  Very good store. It was a little less expensive
• 1:25:37
  than Marshall Fields, but their quality was wonderful.
• 1:25:41
  It was top -notch. It was great. And like I said,
• 1:25:46
  if you need something at Carson's, you go right
• 1:25:48
  there. Pick it up, you know, buy it, take it
• 1:25:51
  home. That's how it was. I love deep dish pizza,
• 1:25:55
  but I'm more of a thin crust fan. What is your
• 1:25:59
  take on Chicago pizza? Oh, I like all pizza.
• 1:26:04
  Deep dish is fine, thin crust is fine. As a matter
• 1:26:06
  of fact, one of my favorites is Dietl and Nick's.
• 1:26:09
  That's on 85th and Pulaski in Chicago because
• 1:26:11
  I used to live in that old neighborhood. I went
• 1:26:14
  there maybe a couple of years ago. People flock
• 1:26:16
  there all the time because it's very unique.
• 1:26:20
  They don't accept cash. And it's something different.
• 1:26:25
  It's very good. But pizza, I love. It's thin
• 1:26:30
  crust, thick crust, deep dish, stuffed. I'm all
• 1:26:35
  for it. My favorite toppings is just sausage
• 1:26:38
  and pepperoni. Oh, you don't like fruit? No fruit?
• 1:26:46
  Fruit on the pizza? You mean like pineapple?
• 1:26:48
  Yeah, yeah. I tried it once, but you know, it
• 1:26:52
  tastes strange, but you know, I have an open
• 1:26:55
  mind. I'd like to try it again. It's not bad,
• 1:26:58
  but I'm not going, like I've had pineapple pizza
• 1:27:01
  be dropped off in my radio jobs over the years
• 1:27:04
  and it's like edible, but I would never order
• 1:27:06
  it. You know what I mean? I think so. You know,
• 1:27:11
  but I'll try it someday. We have some good pizza
• 1:27:16
  places, especially near my house. You can't find
• 1:27:20
  it anywhere else. Yeah. What are your favorite
• 1:27:23
  memories of Chicago sports over the years? Well,
• 1:27:27
  sports, I'm not much of a sports fan. Oh, really?
• 1:27:31
  Not really. But when I go to a game, like, for
• 1:27:34
  example, I've been to a Hawks game, and I've
• 1:27:38
  been to the Cubs. And if you're there, the experience
• 1:27:41
  of watching the game, is great. I love that.
• 1:27:46
  On TV, it's kind of dull. But when you're at
• 1:27:50
  the game with the crowds and you see the players,
• 1:27:54
  that's kind of exciting. That's very exciting.
• 1:27:57
  I had a good time there. I really did. It's not
• 1:28:01
  the same on TV because you have the announcers,
• 1:28:03
  they're talking, and they have the commercials
• 1:28:06
  and all that. But when you're at an actual game,
• 1:28:09
  it doesn't matter what sport, the Bulls, the
• 1:28:11
  Hawks, the Bears, There's nothing like it. There's
• 1:28:15
  nothing like it. I cannot ask a person who's
• 1:28:19
  from Chicago that grew up in the 70s, I cannot
• 1:28:22
  ask them and I cannot interview them without
• 1:28:25
  asking this. What was your experience with disco
• 1:28:28
  demolition? Were you at it? What's your experience
• 1:28:31
  with it? Well, here's the story. It happened
• 1:28:35
  in July 1979. The thing is, me and my family,
• 1:28:40
  we were in Greece. Oh, wow. On vacation. Wow.
• 1:28:44
  Yeah, we were in Greece, and I had no idea what
• 1:28:46
  was going on. But my brother received a letter
• 1:28:50
  from his friend in Greece and told him about
• 1:28:53
  it. And we had no idea. But when we came back,
• 1:28:57
  like, late August, my old neighborhood, everyone
• 1:29:02
  was talking about it, the kids in high school
• 1:29:04
  that I went. you know bogan they went to that
• 1:29:07
  and it was like they said you missed the biggest
• 1:29:10
  thing you were well how was i supposed to know
• 1:29:12
  my parent my mom wanted to go to greece and that's
• 1:29:15
  and i didn't want to go anyway but uh we did
• 1:29:18
  and we stayed for two months and so i missed
• 1:29:21
  the entire disco demolition and i talked about
• 1:29:23
  it on my podcast and i do post pictures of that
• 1:29:26
  yeah on the podcast i explained my experience
• 1:29:29
  of that i'm not knowing about it. And that was
• 1:29:34
  fascinating. So it's a shame I missed it. Now,
• 1:29:37
  I was born in 93, so I didn't get to hear the
• 1:29:40
  loop and it's hey day, but I've heard a lot of
• 1:29:42
  it online. But Jonathan Brand, Johnny B's second
• 1:29:47
  run on 97 .9 The Loop in 05 and when Dahl was
• 1:29:51
  on Jack FM and WCKG, both of those guys, dude,
• 1:29:55
  define radio for sure. Oh, that was great times.
• 1:29:59
  I listened to WCKG all the time. I listen to
• 1:30:03
  all radio stations, you know, when there's rock
• 1:30:05
  music. That's my favorite type of music. So when
• 1:30:09
  I was growing up, when I was in high school,
• 1:30:12
  we had The Loop, and we also had WMET. That was
• 1:30:16
  95 1⁄2 FM. And also WLS FM. V96, right? Yeah,
• 1:30:24
  I did listen to B -96 in the early 80s. And that
• 1:30:29
  was a fun time. That was a fun time. I loved
• 1:30:32
  that era. I used to listen to it all the time.
• 1:30:34
  Because music was changing. And I was there when
• 1:30:39
  WLSFM turned into WDAI and it turned into the
• 1:30:44
  Disco Station. Yeah. And then it went back to
• 1:30:48
  rock about a couple years later. So I was there
• 1:30:50
  when I listened to all of that. You know what
• 1:30:53
  I've heard about? Z -95 is what I've heard about
• 1:30:57
  too. Yes. I did listen to that. I really did.
• 1:31:02
  It wasn't very long, but yeah. I remember that
• 1:31:05
  very well well from what I've read because I'm
• 1:31:08
  a huge like how you love the past about Chicago
• 1:31:11
  I love radio and Chicago radio so I've listened
• 1:31:14
  to a lot of stuff online and I believe it was
• 1:31:17
  his name was Jason Barsky came to Chicago and
• 1:31:20
  tried to take out Eddie and Jobo but that was
• 1:31:22
  kind of when Eddie and Jobo were first beginning
• 1:31:24
  because Eddie was doing mornings by himself for
• 1:31:27
  a few years, and he told me, and he said it on
• 1:31:29
  my show, and he told me in person, that having
• 1:31:31
  Jobo was the perfect kind of like, almost like
• 1:31:35
  devil to angel on your shoulder, because Eddie's
• 1:31:38
  a very clean cut, classy guy, and Jobo's a little
• 1:31:42
  more unpredictable, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I did
• 1:31:46
  listen to those guys. Actually, I'm friends with
• 1:31:48
  them. I'm friends with Jobo on Facebook. Jobo's
• 1:31:51
  hilarious. Amazon package of the day. I love
• 1:31:57
  it. Every day you get to see what Jobo bought
• 1:31:59
  on Amazon. And I love the comments. He never
• 1:32:03
  responds, but he'll post something to like troll
• 1:32:05
  people. And then like 70 Karens will be like
• 1:32:08
  Jobo. It's amazing. Oh, that is beautiful. Absolutely
• 1:32:13
  beautiful. Now in your whole lifetime, before
• 1:32:17
  I let you go, what is your absolute favorite
• 1:32:19
  thing about Chicago? My favorite absolutely thing,
• 1:32:24
  you know, this is kind of strange because, you
• 1:32:31
  know, I have the page. I love doing that. That's
• 1:32:34
  my passion. But, you know, every year, you see,
• 1:32:38
  I'm a comic book fan. Yeah. A huge comic book
• 1:32:40
  fan. And I go to, what's it called, Fan Expo
• 1:32:43
  in Rosemont every August. Oh, nice. Yeah. I go
• 1:32:47
  every year. I've been doing that for almost 30
• 1:32:49
  years. I'm going there. I just love it because
• 1:32:53
  it's a great place to escape, you know, look
• 1:32:56
  at comics. They have celebrities there. It's
• 1:32:58
  like my Disneyland there. That's what it is.
• 1:33:02
  And, you know, I'm 61 years old. I'm still doing
• 1:33:05
  this stuff, you know, but I enjoy it. I really
• 1:33:07
  do because I'm a huge fan of that. And, you know,
• 1:33:11
  other things like in Chicago, you know, we have
• 1:33:14
  so much culture. There's so many beautiful things
• 1:33:17
  to see, so many things to learn. That's what's
• 1:33:20
  great about that. And you meet the people. The
• 1:33:24
  people are wonderful. They really are. Now, before
• 1:33:27
  I let you go, do a quick plug. Tell everybody
• 1:33:29
  about everything you're up to. Okay. I run the
• 1:33:35
  page. It's called Van Chicago Land. I also have
• 1:33:37
  a group, the same name. I also have a podcast.
• 1:33:41
  It's called Van Chicago Land Stories, the podcast.
• 1:33:45
  You can find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon
• 1:33:50
  Music, any app that has podcasts. I also have
• 1:33:54
  a YouTube channel. You can find a podcast as
• 1:33:58
  well. You can do a search. I say this every time
• 1:34:01
  I do a podcast. I tell them where you can find
• 1:34:03
  them, where you can find the podcast. You can
• 1:34:05
  listen anywhere, on your phone, your desktop,
• 1:34:08
  your car, any place. So that's what I do. Well,
• 1:34:14
  Pete, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you,
• 1:34:16
  but it's been a lot of fun having you on the
• 1:34:19
  show. I'm coming to Chicago in May for my, I
• 1:34:23
  can't believe it, my 2007 born cousin is graduating
• 1:34:27
  high school. So I decided I had like a free plane
• 1:34:30
  ticket kind of deal to like fly out. And I was
• 1:34:32
  like, why not fly out for that? So I'm going
• 1:34:34
  to be in Chicago for my cousin's high school
• 1:34:37
  graduation. So if you're free, I would love to
• 1:34:39
  get coffee and meet you. Oh, that'd be wonderful.
• 1:34:42
  Yeah, that'd be great. We can get together. We
• 1:34:44
  can talk. You know, that'd be awesome. I will
• 1:34:47
  definitely hit you up. Pete, it's been a lot
• 1:34:49
  of fun having you on the show and thank you for
• 1:34:52
  everything you've done for the city of Chicago
• 1:34:53
  because it's very hard. It's called Vanished
• 1:34:56
  Chicagoland for the right reason. It's sometimes
• 1:34:58
  hard to find the memories, but when you see it
• 1:35:00
  on Facebook, you're like, you kind of get that
• 1:35:02
  like dopamine hit. Oh, I've never heard it that
• 1:35:07
  way before, but thank you. I appreciate that.
• 1:35:12
  I really do. It's a wonderful thing. I just love
• 1:35:16
  doing it. Pete, keep up the good work. Thank
• 1:35:19
  you for calling into Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy.
• 1:35:22
  Oh, well, thank you, Ryan. I enjoyed talking
• 1:35:24
  to you. All right. Have a great day, and I will
• 1:35:26
  see you in May. Okay. That's a date. All right.
• 1:35:30
  Sounds good. All right. See you, bro. Okay, Brian.
• 1:35:33
  Bye. And that was Pete Kostanis of the Vanished
• 1:35:37
  Chicagoland brand and Vanished Chicagoland Stories,
• 1:35:41
  the podcast, as he called it in the Hoppy era.
• 1:35:43
  Now, I grew up in Chicago from 1993 to 2014.
• 1:35:47
  I listened to, I was huge in the radio. I listened
• 1:35:49
  to Eddie and Jovo, Jonathan Brandmeier, Drex,
• 1:35:53
  Steve Dahl, Rover. Opie and Anthony, Roe and
• 1:35:58
  Gary. Can you tell I liked radio? So I interned
• 1:36:01
  at Dance Factory Radio and was on air with Lewis
• 1:36:03
  2 Live. Then I was on WNUR 89 .3 FM. I snuck
• 1:36:07
  into Northwestern University while going to the
• 1:36:10
  Illinois Media School, which is great. Then I
• 1:36:13
  was on WHCM 88 .3 Harper College Radio. And I
• 1:36:18
  also interned with Steve Dahl, who is the GOAT.
• 1:36:20
  So here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, boys
• 1:36:22
  and girls, is my show is billed for you, Chicago.
• 1:36:25
  I have two versions. One where I do radio interviews
• 1:36:27
  and talk to people like P and I've interviewed
• 1:36:30
  Mark Giniograko. I have a whole archive of it.
• 1:36:34
  So here's the deal. Go to every single major
• 1:36:36
  platform that has a podcast and search up Hoppy
• 1:36:39
  Radio. H -O -P -P -E Radio. And I'm on all social
• 1:36:44
  media at Ryan Hoppy Radio. This has been Hoppy
• 1:36:47
  Hour. I am your host, Ryan Hoppy. And I expect
• 1:36:50
  you to tune in, Chicago. They used to harbor
• 1:37:29
  it here. We think this is ours. It could be worse,
• 1:37:32
  though. At least we're not Detroit. We're not
• 1:37:36
  Detroit. We don't have this. We keep people from
• 1:37:39
  looking at their own lives and realizing how
• 1:37:41
  bad they've actually gotten, you know? I mean,
• 1:37:44
  if you can get drunk and paint yourself orange
• 1:37:48
  and brown every Sunday, you might realize, I
• 1:37:52
  live in Cleveland. You're looking at your tiny
• 1:38:04
  little house that you can't afford because of
• 1:38:06
  the mortgage crisis and your horrible little
• 1:38:08
  floppy kids who all have diabetes by the time
• 1:38:10
  they're eight because they live on corn syrup
• 1:38:11
  and lye. And then you look at your big bloated
• 1:38:15
  mess of a wife and she waddles over to you with
• 1:38:17
  her front butt spilling out over the top of her
• 1:38:19
  ass and she's like, I'm gonna go shoot myself.
• 1:38:38
  I mean, I never heard anybody say I'm going to
• 1:38:40
  Cleveland on vacation. You can skip over it.
• 1:44:00
  But Ryan Hoppy of Hoppy Hour takes pride in his
• 1:44:02
  selection, so stick around, folks. I belong to
• 1:44:47
  the office I put on. We don't ever ask for nothing
• 1:44:50
  cause them niggas got their own shit. Me and
• 1:44:52
  we feel like a mouth full of hot peppers. Black
• 1:44:54
  Ferrari with the red seats. I call it playing
• 1:44:57
  checkers. It's never doing versus. I'm forever
• 1:44:59
  giving lectures. If you're trying to leave with
• 1:45:01
  money, I'd be happy to connect ya. Life is better
• 1:45:04
  than it's ever been. Scheduling million dollar
• 1:45:07
  meetings with the president. Someone cut the
• 1:45:09
  lights on. Where is Thomas Edison? Got a new
• 1:45:12
  condo. Watch me as I settle in. I deserve an
• 1:45:15
  M. And if you try to zone, I got a whole switch
• 1:45:19
  to sweep through Rappers all liars and they women
• 1:45:22
  all deceitful Added to they subtract me, I'll
• 1:45:25

  I have a condition known as autism. That's right.

  It's a condition, not a disease. That is, autism
• 1:50:52
  can strike anyone, regardless of who they are.
• 1:50:55
  People with autism normally have difficulties

  They are different. Believe me, we are. Hi, this
• 1:58:41
  is Henry Oaks, but my buddies may have known
• 1:58:44
  me as Hammer Hank. I was labeled as slow when
• 1:58:47
  I started school. Come to find out at the age
• 1:58:49
  of 12, the doctors decided I was autistic. Now
• 1:58:53
  at the age of 48, I have completed an associate's
• 1:58:55
  degree in radio broadcasting and worked in the
• 1:58:58
  San Francisco Bay Area as an on -air personality.
• 1:59:01

• 2:01:04
  a show. Now it's time to face the silence like
• 2:01:06
  it's On Snow Riot Hoppy held the mic With humor
• 2:01:09

• 2:01:12
