0:00
Oh yeah, I am live, but this time I'm in Arlington
0:04
Heights, Illinois, where I grew up. Welcome to
0:08
Happy Hour. Door is closing. Hi, this is Ryan
0:23
Hoppy's mom, and you're listening to Hoppy Hour.
0:26
Welcome back to Hoppy Hour. Mm -hmm. With Ryan
0:29
Hoppy. Yes, now. What? No, no, no, no. If I hit
0:37
this button, boom, the whole program's gonna
0:39
start. Okay, we'll hit it. All right. Hoppy Hour
1:02
starts in 4, 3, 2, Hoppy, Hoppy, Hoppy. This
1:10
is Hoppy Hour with Hoppy. Oh, yeah. What up?
1:52
Wow, this is weird. For a whole year, I've been
1:55
recording, you know, where I record. Well, four
2:00
days. I'm in Arlington Heights, Illinois. I'm
2:04
currently looking at my childhood bedroom that
2:08
I jerked off a lot in. I didn't say that out
2:10
loud. And banged my ex in here when she came
2:14
to visit 2017. That was nice. Ah, the nice memories.
2:18
Not the argument. Oh, wow. It feels like I can
2:23
be myself. Man, I'm looking at my childhood room.
2:27
I'm looking out the window. I'm sitting in this
2:29
little comfy chair. It's like an old man chair
2:32
because I'm an old man now with back pain. I'm
2:34
looking out the window and I see partly cloudy
2:36
skies and trees. Man, I just know that I'm in
2:42
Illinois, man. So I'm here for five days. My
2:46
mom had a plane ticket. She's like, Ryan, where
2:48
do you want to go? You know what? I want to go
2:51
to Illinois. Illinois. And I got so much to cover.
2:56
And we'll get to all of that. But I wanted to
3:01
make sure that Bob Kevoian got his time since
3:06
he's one of the reasons many people are in radio.
3:08
I mean, I have a whole checklist of things to
3:12
talk about here, and we'll get to it. But I always
3:16
hate when I see someone that I liked or knew
3:19
or loved. it's either i'm a fan of the person
3:22
or i love them or i knew them i hate when i see
3:25
that they died and then i gotta go to bed because
3:28
to me sleeping is the cousin of death i don't
3:30
believe in an afterlife so i believe that when
3:32
you're sleeping that's practice for dying so
3:34
around 8 50 p .m on friday i'm having to go to
3:38
bed early to get up for the airport to go to
3:41
um I first landed in Atlanta and we'll talk about
3:45
that later and I got to Chicago and I saw that
3:47
Bob Kavonian died and I saw that from the Bob
3:50
and Tom show and I saw that Tom was hanging out
3:53
with him like three weeks ago and Bob was noticeably
3:56
skinny but I was still hoping for the best now
4:00
I had an interesting relationship with the Bob
4:03
and Tom show and here's what it was I never actually
4:07
They were never on in Chicago. I believe they
4:09
were on in Chicago when I was like three years
4:11
old, possibly at 97 .9 The Loop. But they were
4:14
always like in like Indianapolis and smaller
4:18
cities in the Midwest. And it's a very unique
4:23
show because they never were incredibly dirty.
4:27
Like they were dirty, but they weren't like Howard
4:29
Stern filth. And they were a comedy based show.
4:32
These two guys named Bob and Tom. And they're
4:35
still on the air under the name Bob and Tom.
4:38
It's kind of like Kid Craddock or the JV show
4:40
where, like, the person dies, but they keep the
4:43
name in memory. Well, Bob retired 11 years ago,
4:47
and they were out of Indianapolis. And in their
4:50
prime, they were out in, like, 200 cities. So,
4:52
like, let's say Peoria, Illinois, or Springfield,
4:55
Illinois, or Wausau, Wisconsin, or... I don't
5:01
know, Lansing, Michigan. I'm just thinking of
5:02
smaller Midwest cities. And I bet they had their
5:05
time and they might have had a try in Detroit
5:07
or let's say, I don't know, Milwaukee. Because
5:11
I know they were on into big cities at one point,
5:13
but their home base was Indianapolis. And I think
5:16
what I always appreciated about Bob and Tom was
5:20
in the 2000s, we would drive to Winston -Salem,
5:24
North Carolina because we didn't want to pay
5:26
for the plane ticket. So we would drive there.
5:29
And when we would drive to Winston -Salem, North
5:31
Carolina, it was a 12 -hour drive. You drive
5:34
through Chicago and boring -ass Indiana, a little
5:40
bit of Ohio maybe one time, and you go through
5:43
the worst, which is Kentucky, and then West Virginia,
5:46
that's the absolute worst. It's like a speed
5:48
trap. And then you get to North Carolina. So
5:51
if we left around 4 or 5 a .m., we would get
5:53
to Winston -Salem around 5 or 6. It's so weird
5:57
to think the two uncles I was going to visit
5:58
are now dead, Uncle Bob and my second father,
6:01
my godfather, my Uncle Ken. But you'd get to
6:05
Indianapolis around 8 .30 a .m. And being a radio
6:08
geek, I always knew about the Bob and Tom show.
6:10
Even one of my dad's friends, they had like over
6:12
200 CDs that they released. And my dad's friend
6:15
had... What am I trying to say? My dad's friend
6:18
had all the CDs. So like growing up in the Midwest,
6:22
even though I wasn't in Indiana, the Bob and
6:25
Tom influence was definitely around. So when
6:29
we would be in Indianapolis around 830 a .m.
6:32
because it takes about three hours to get there
6:33
from Chicago, we'd be looking for something to
6:36
listen to. And I think what was crazy about Bob
6:39
and Tom was that they were pretty edgy and funny.
6:42
But my dad, that really didn't, and rest in peace,
6:45
dad, but he really didn't have the same sense
6:47
of humor as me. I was going to say he didn't
6:50
have a sense of humor, but his sense of humor
6:52
was Seinfeld, Ernie Kovacs, Seinfeld, Ernie Kovacs,
6:56
Seinfeld, Ernie Kovacs, and then at the end of
6:59
his life, The Office, because he thought Pam
7:01
was hot. But Seinfeld and Ernie Kovacs. Seinfeld,
7:04
you heard me. Seinfeld and Ernie Kovacs. That's
7:09
all he liked. It was crazy when you're driving
7:14
through Indianapolis, which is like a two -minute
7:16
ordeal. And all of a sudden, my father is a fan
7:19
of a radio show that's funny. Now, some comedians
7:26
have bitched about going on the show over the
7:27
years. And all those comedians are douchebags.
7:32
I've been around them. They don't like being
7:36
told that they have to go by a script. Because
7:38
they're so wild. I'm not going to do that right
7:40
now. Trying to be more positive. Being in my
7:43
talented house that my dad and my grandpa died
7:46
in. It's traumatizing. B .S. And then that same
7:53
time that we would drive through Indianapolis,
7:55
when we would get to Winston -Salem, WGN America,
7:59
the TV network, I think it's still around, they
8:01
would air Bob and Tom the show in 2010. Who was
8:06
filming radio shows besides Howard Stern and
8:08
Bob and Tom? I mean, my old boss, Rover, was
8:12
one of the first ones to do it online, but no
8:13
one was really filming radio shows. I mean, Bobo
8:16
was too, I guess. But Bob and Tom were on, so
8:18
it was weird being like, oh, we were just listening
8:20
to them. So when I saw the news that Bob died,
8:25
it kind of gave me a little bit of an existential
8:27
crisis because it's like, you got to go to bed
8:29
and it's like one of your heroes died. So I have
8:32
a few news clips about it right here. And also,
8:34
you know what I forgot about going to Illinois?
8:38
It's how it gives you like, I'm not going to,
8:41
okay. To the Jeebus I don't believe in, I'm not
8:43
going to get sick. But my God, I have a little
8:45
bit of a sniffles. I am not used to this cold
8:49
weather. It's different cold down here. In Florida,
8:52
it feels more dramatic because you go from like
8:54
90 degrees to like 45 or whatever. Here it's
8:59
like more consistent. But here is a video. Of
9:03
Tom Griswold from the Bob and Tom show discussing
9:05
Bob's passing. I'm joining you from the Bob and
9:08
Tom studio off of Fall Creek on the northeast
9:10
side. A really tough day to hear the news of
9:13
the loss of Bob Convoy and at the age of 75.
9:17
So this is the studio. This is the room where
9:19
it happened, if you will. Here's Tom Griswold,
9:23
his longtime partner. And there's Bob's chair,
9:25
Bob's chair empty tonight. He did retire from
9:29
the show 10 years ago, but just foundationally
9:32
working. with Tom for more than 35 years. I understand
9:37
that you were with Bob this afternoon. I am so
9:40
sorry for your loss. What a long, long, successful
9:43
run you two had together. Bob had a great life
9:47
and a peaceful end. He was surrounded by his
9:51
great family. His three sons were there, and
9:54
they were literally singing. to his favorite
9:58
album, the second side of Abbey Road by the Beatles.
10:01
They were singing Golden Slumbers when Bob took
10:04
his last breath at the end. I had been lucky
10:08
enough to spend three hours with him just a couple
10:11
Saturdays ago, and he was looking forward to
10:14
getting a few more things in. I think he was
10:18
at peace with himself, but he had a terrific
10:21
career. He had a great life. It was far more
10:25
important than his career. He had a great life
10:28
with Becky and his sons and their extended family.
10:32
So, you know, it's not going to be the same,
10:35
but you have to understand that he had a great
10:38
time. Right. I mean, it was Bob and Tom. Bob
10:44
retired 10 years ago, and then you went on with
10:46
Bob and Tom. Tom without Bob, that must have
10:49
been difficult. It was awkward. I kind of fumbled
10:53
around for a while, and it just became different.
10:57
And we pushed on, and occasionally Bob would
11:01
stop by. In fact, he was just on a few years
11:06
ago discussing the fact that he had cancer. And
11:10
he dealt with it. And it had its ups and downs
11:14
with respect to the road that it took. And he
11:20
did have some good times in spite of the cancer.
11:26
And he, again, had a, I think it's safe to say
11:30
it ended well for him. Too soon, but he was at
11:35
peace. What is his legacy? It's a legacy of laughter,
11:41
of being witty and funny and being here in the
11:45
morning and tackling whatever often idiocy that
11:49
we tackle. In a complicated world, more complicated
11:55
now than ever, we were always there trying to
11:59
get everybody to see some of the levity in it.
12:02
And he was an expert at it. He would always say
12:05
the same thing, which was, our show was a conversation
12:08
between two friends. And pretty soon it became
12:11
many more friends. So many more. I mean, starting
12:14
here in Indianapolis and then syndication 20
12:17
years ago to more than 100 plus markets all across
12:20
the country. So many people know Bob and Tom
12:23
and tonight are no doubt feeling the loss. And
12:26
certainly our condolences are with you and with
12:29
Becky, his widow. Yeah. Well, thank you. Thank
12:32
you. Yeah. Tom's usually pretty. hyper it's very
12:36
it's very surreal seeing him being like i don't
12:39
want to use the word humble but humble you know
12:40
we're gonna miss him and down the road i'm not
12:43
sure how soon we'll do some kind of a celebration
12:46
of life because that's i know that's what he'd
12:47
want yeah so there's that and then here's the
12:52
other news clip about it We begin tonight at
13:01
11 with breaking news. Bob Kavoyan, a radio icon
13:05
who rose to fame as a co -host of The Bob and
13:08
Tom Show, has passed away. Kavoyan was a mainstay
13:11
on the airwaves for more than three decades.
13:14
The Bob and Tom Show debuted here in Indianapolis
13:17
back in 1983, and the show was nationally syndicated
13:21
in 1995. Kevoyan stepped down from the show in
13:25
2015 as he and Griswold were inducted into the
13:28
National Radio Hall of Fame. In 2023, Kevoyan
13:31
announced he'd been diagnosed with stomach cancer
13:34
and launched the Bob and Cancer Show podcast.
13:37
Bob will be remembered for many things, including
13:40
his Los Angeles Dodgers hat. I'll heal up the
13:44
Dodger head! And, of course, his sense of humor.
13:48
but it's likely that 32 -year partnership with
13:50
Tom that will live on in fans' memories and in
13:54
broadcast history. Kevoyan was 75 years old.
14:02
I don't know why I still think that's young.
14:04
I know that's incredibly old, but to me, I still
14:07
think a Bob is like 50 years old. And we know
14:10
that the memorial services will be shared at
14:12
a later date. So there's that. Let's see how
14:15
much I can stomach of this. It's going to be
14:17
interesting right here. I actually interviewed
14:20
Bob. Well, I interviewed Tom eight months ago,
14:23
and that was a much better interview. But I interviewed
14:26
Bob 11 years ago, right before he retired. And
14:31
this is when I didn't quite figure out my voice
14:34
yet. So I had the little Midwest accent. You'll
14:39
hear it. What up? This is very much the... The
14:43
70 downloads that Rover talks about. What up?
14:47
What is happening? This is Hoppy Hour. I am your
14:50
host, Ryan Hoppy. Wow, I've changed since then,
14:53
haven't I? And on the phone line from the nationally
14:57
syndicated Bob and Tom show, Bob is on the phone
15:01
line. What's up, man? How you doing, Ryan? I'm
15:04
doing great, man. First of all, I'm a big fan.
15:07
I used to listen to... All right, that's a little
15:09
teaser. I can't, I honestly, it's like looking
15:12
at a picture of your ex licking vagina, which
15:14
is what she does now. It's literally like, it's
15:16
so weird to like hear my old voice and be like,
15:19
yeah, I kind of like this. Like I know I'm an
15:22
exaggeration now, but my God, is that hard to,
15:25
I don't know what I can equate that to a normal
15:28
everyday job or something. It's like looking
15:30
at an old painting. If you're a painter, what
15:32
the fuck is this? What is this? How do I sound
15:36
like that? rest in peace bob we love you dude
15:41
yeah i was getting sad seeing bob or tom all
15:44
sad in the video but guess what time it is it's
15:48
time for hoppy's inbox only on hoppy hour with
15:50
ryan hoppy and just later He used to work on
15:55
102 .5 The Bone, and when they let him go, I
15:57
feel like the bone died. It's still alive, but
15:59
it's in AARP mode. But when Slater was on in
16:02
the morning from 5 to 6 a .m. with the number
16:06
one show at that time, he was the man. He's still
16:09
the man, but he was the man on the radio. And
16:11
he commented, I grew up in Indianapolis and remember
16:14
when Bob and Tom first started. Long before they
16:18
became the show that made them famous. Sad day
16:21
for radio. In sad news, it's not that important.
16:27
My cat is right now being babysat. Because I'm
16:32
in Illinois, almost in Indianapolis. And she's
16:36
in Florida. And I took a picture, it's at Ryan
16:39
Happy Radio, of her on my cat luggage, not wanting
16:43
me to leave. And somebody commented, Ryan, your
16:46
cat does not want you to leave. So there is that.
16:53
Just the riveting stuff I get in my inbox. You
16:57
can always call the show. 856 -49 -HAPPY. That's
17:03
856 -494 -6773. Okay. So we're going to start
17:10
from the beginning. I have a whole checklist
17:12
of topics. We're going to start from the beginning
17:14
just to get this over with. I'm probably not
17:16
going to record tomorrow. Because I'm going to
17:20
visit my 95 -year -old uncle, who is my grandpa's
17:24
brother, so it's like seeing another version
17:26
of my grandpa. Mm -hmm. I would not, never mind.
17:30
Anyway, I would be, I'm just very excited to
17:33
go see him, him and his beautiful wife, my Aunt
17:36
Jean. So tomorrow, I'm doing that, and I'm going
17:39
to Dance Factory Radio. I'm going to try to go
17:41
to WHCM 88 .3, WNUR 89 .3. Can you hear I'm starting
17:48
to get a little more into character now that
17:50
we're not talking about the death of one of my
17:51
radio heroes? But tomorrow is a very busy day.
17:56
Tuesday, I'm getting pizza with my aunt at noon.
18:00
So that's going to be fun. I'll probably have
18:02
a lot of leftovers. But Tuesday, I might record
18:06
a show. Wednesday, I'm not sure. What I might
18:09
end up doing though, is it just inside baseball?
18:13
I might end up making important videos. Like
18:15
if I see a thing on social media that I'm like,
18:18
I need to make a video about that. I'll record
18:20
the audio and include it later. But now I'm just
18:22
giving you my little inside info and I'll put
18:25
you to sleep. Well, in same piece, there is a
18:30
new Aldi's. And, um, I went to it on Friday because
18:37
I needed to get a, okay, I'll admit, this is
18:40
me as a man admitting it. I am, the way I feed
18:45
my cat is I have the huge cat, I have the huge
18:47
bag of cat food that is in my fridge. In Florida,
18:55
you get roaches. You can have the cleanest house
18:57
ever and you still get roaches. So I don't want
18:59
to leave the cat food out. So I just put the
19:01
bag in the fridge with my big ass hand. It's
19:05
good with fisting. I can literally go in there,
19:08
grab some cat food, put it on the plate, whatever.
19:11
Well, I have a cat sitter looking at my cat.
19:14
So I didn't feel like spending 20 bucks for a
19:16
cat food container. So I wanted to go cheap because
19:19
I just paid my Duke bill and my Spectrum bill.
19:23
uh that is the internet not what i'm on i'm not
19:26
on the spectrum i only have adhd i'm bipolar
19:28
i am on the spectrum uh well i went to aldi's
19:32
and i got a container for like four dollars and
19:35
i put all the cat food in there for this lady
19:37
named beverly shout out to beverly for feeding
19:41
luna so i go to aldi's and i don't know man All
19:51
this is weird. I'm not the best at cooking because
19:53
my parents didn't have any patience with me learning
19:56
to teach me how to cook. So my cooking skills,
20:00
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, are that
20:02
of let's make some chicken nuggets. Now, if there's
20:06
a future girl that's listening to this and goes,
20:08
oh, well, he doesn't know how to cook. I'm not
20:10
interested in him. You were never interested
20:12
in me in the first place, honey. And if you can
20:15
bear this show, you can bear me because this
20:17
is all fake. What I'm telling you, ladies and
20:19
gentlemen, boys and girls, Because I'm at Aldi's
20:21
and I feel like the frozen food could be a little
20:25
better. They had this pre -made shepherd's pie
20:27
for like two months and it was so good. And you
20:31
cook it in the microwave in 15 minutes and voila!
20:34
You got shepherd's pie. Well, you know what happened?
20:38
Now it's lasagna. And my friend that works there
20:42
said it was seasonal. So now I got to learn how
20:45
to make shepherd's pie. Here's the thing, ladies
20:47
and gentlemen, boys and girls. I'm at Aldi's.
20:50
And you know who I saw? It's weird. The place
20:55
where the audience is located is where our Winn
20:58
-Dixie was. And it's the next plaza over from
21:02
Cox Media Group where 102 .5 The Bone is and
21:04
all the stations in Tampa. So before I've seen
21:07
like, I saw Al Keck there one time and I saw
21:10
Mike Oliveira and I see all these people there
21:13
at times when it was Winn -Dixie. This was more
21:17
awkward than seeing a former coworker. I think
21:23
I'd rather run into my ex and her girlfriend
21:25
or whatever she's dating than this moment. I'm
21:28
being dramatic. I'm being shocking. No. You know
21:33
who I saw? My old barber that I cheated on. What
21:39
do I mean by that? No, I didn't have sex with
21:41
my barber. From 2015 all the way to COVID, there
21:47
was a barbershop. It's still there and it's amazing
21:49
that I went to to get haircuts. Oh, they give
21:54
me the European, you know, soccer player haircut.
21:58
I was the man. You know what happened? They were
22:03
closed during COVID. And I was on the Mike Kelta
22:06
show talking about how I needed to get a haircut
22:08
because I was starting to look like a butch lesbian
22:10
because I look like a lesbian when I don't cut
22:12
my hair. Mm -hmm. And here's the thing, ladies
22:17
and gentlemen, boys and girls. Rich Keeley, Master
22:20
Barbershop at richkbarber .com. 4545 West Kennedy
22:24
Boulevard in Tampa. He hit me up. Mm -hmm. And
22:29
he said, yo. He said, I can get you a haircut
22:33
if you promote me on the radio and promote me
22:35
on your podcast. And now he's my longest running
22:37
sponsor going on six years in, oh my God. I was
22:40
going to say a few months, but May's in 10 days.
22:43
That's fucking scary. All right. So I've been,
22:46
I have not seen my barber and his assistant.
22:50
I'm not going to say their name, but I have not
22:51
seen them in about, I don't know, six years.
22:55
I'm in the frozen section of all these, man.
23:00
And you know who's there? Mm -hmm. It's the barber
23:05
and the guy at the front desk. And it was very
23:08
awkward because I had just gotten a haircut,
23:11
so I looked really fresh. And I was like, hey,
23:14
what up? And we did the little, you know, hand
23:17
clap, knuckle hug. What up? How are you? Good.
23:19
How are you? Good. Everything good? Yeah. Wow.
23:22
This is a crazy new wall. Oh, what up? How are
23:24
you? Good. How are you? Good. We walked away.
23:27
I hope they don't hear this. It was very nice
23:30
seeing him. I just felt bad. I always felt bad.
23:32
And then that place was right next door to an
23:35
H &R block where I would do my taxes. And they
23:37
would come outside and be like, Ryan, why don't
23:39
you come here anymore? Because I cheated on you.
23:43
Sorry. I do feel really bad. And then Mike Olivero
23:49
would always make jokes on air about, oh, well,
23:53
you cheated on your barber. Mm -hmm. It was just,
23:57
I think I probably made it more awkward than
24:00
it actually was talking about it on the podcast.
24:02
But it was just weird, you know? You used to
24:04
get your hair cut. No, you don't. So the last
24:11
night that I was in town in Florida, of course
24:14
it's the night that Luna does not want to sleep
24:17
with me. The last like three, four, five months,
24:20
I put a pillow next to my head. Against the wall.
24:24
And Luna lays next to me. She's incredibly close
24:29
to me. And here's how this goes. Ladies and gentlemen.
24:33
Boys and girls. Of course tonight. That I'm about
24:40
to leave. She wants to sleep on the couch. So
24:44
show her a lesson. To appreciate me. Because
24:49
I'm. I'm not going to be there for another seven
24:53
days. Now, the seven days are going to fly by
24:56
for us humans. But for her, she'll learn to never
25:00
take me for granted. Now, let's talk about going
25:05
to... Shut up. Let's talk about going to the
25:08
airport. Yeah, I'm definitely getting a little
25:11
bit of a cold here. It's very weird. And this
25:19
is not me talking bad about the Tampa airport
25:20
because everybody knows that I love the Tampa
25:24
airport. But my God, I tried something out socially.
25:30
Probably shouldn't have at 7 a .m. on Saturday
25:32
at the airport. There's a sign right before you
25:35
get to the baggage area. It says, please thank
25:38
our hardworking employees. So a woman in a TSA
25:43
outfit walked by me as I was walking in and I
25:45
go, thank you for your hard work. And she looks
25:49
at me and glares at me. So then the person that
25:53
you take the picture with when they take your
25:55
picture and then you give them your ID, I said,
25:58
thank you. And he looked at me weird. Must have
26:02
had spaghetti sauce on my shirt. I don't fucking
26:04
know. Son! Ah, the lady that scans my body. I
26:09
said, thank you. And she looks at me weird. Why
26:12
do you have a sign that says thank the employees?
26:16
And then when I thank you, you don't give a shit.
26:19
It was annoying. I love the Tampa airport. But
26:25
my God, do airports have the worst? And this
26:28
is all airports. I don't know if they just have
26:30
a deal with Coca -Cola. I mean, at least at the
26:34
Tampa airport, they had rain energy. Oh yeah.
26:37
You know what my breakfast was? Cause I'll see
26:39
some people having like an eggs, eggs Benedict
26:42
before they go on an airplane. I'm like, you're
26:43
gonna have to poop in the middle of the plane.
26:44
No, I had hummus and pretzels and I had a rain
26:48
energy, orange cream breakfast at champions.
26:53
But my God, when you go to any of the like, Oh,
26:55
Harry Potter, Atlanta airport. All they have
27:02
is Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, and Monster Energy.
27:05
I'm like, why? Why? But you know what's interesting,
27:10
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls? I don't
27:11
know why my voice just won't let that. I hate
27:15
checking my baggage, my luggage. on my prep sheet
27:22
on it was not it's not a literal sheet that's
27:24
just a term they use in radio no i'm like google
27:26
docs i have my uh thing that says monologue and
27:30
uh i guess i was thinking of the word bag and
27:33
then the word luggage and i wrote baggage i definitely
27:37
have plenty of that no with my luggage and my
27:44
personal baggage but with my luggage I hate giving
27:47
it up. I love holding my luggage and my baggage
27:51
at all times. Proudly. Of course, being in section
27:56
seven of the airplane. Of course, it was fucking
27:59
full to Atlanta at 7 a .m. Everybody wants to
28:02
go to ATL. Not at all. It's a halfway point.
28:08
But they're like our. Our overhead bins are completely
28:13
full. Please check in your baggage and your luggage.
28:17
That was a joke. It's a little played out now.
28:20
Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I
28:22
had to give them my luggage. So you know what
28:24
happened? I had my podcast board that I'm talking
28:27
into right now. I had that in there. So you know
28:31
what I did? I took out the podcast board and
28:35
carried it in my backpack because I was like,
28:37
I'm not going to trust you guys not throwing
28:39
this against the wall. You've seen all those
28:41
maniacs at the airport do it. They like throw
28:43
it. I ain't letting you do that. That's not how
28:48
I ride, man. That's not how I work. This stuff's
28:53
very important. It might not sound like it. You
28:57
might be listening and go, but this is something.
29:00
Okay. And then when I got to ATL, I was feeling
29:07
a little manic. I know everyone's like, oh my
29:10
God, it must be so amazing being tall. I mean,
29:16
it's good with the women. They're always like,
29:19
how big are you? And I'm like, pretty big. Gee,
29:22
I wonder why my family doesn't like my show.
29:24
But ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, you
29:27
know what happened? What happened was I... could
29:32
not fit in the fucking seats even if i were to
29:35
get first class i'm telling you i could not fit
29:40
in those seats i well it's not my story so it's
29:43
gone but i literally had no room in those seats
29:47
And my back hurt after going on. So when I got
29:49
to the ATL airport, I've always liked the Atlanta
29:53
Hawks. I liked them with Joe Johnson and Josh
29:57
Smith, Jamie smooth. I believe that was, I think,
30:00
I think that's what they called him at Al Horford
30:03
back in the day. And Jamal Crawford and Mike.
30:11
And then I liked him with Trey Young. And then
30:14
once they changed the rules about flopping, he
30:16
didn't get as many fouls. But I've always liked
30:18
the Atlanta Hawks. And I see from afar, as I'm
30:22
at the airport, I see an Atlanta Hawks logo.
30:26
And I go, oh, that's cool. I wonder if that's
30:28
like a shop. Maybe I'll buy a hat. It was an
30:30
Atlanta Hawks bar. It was great. I was an alcoholic
30:36
for a day. I had a Jack and Coke at 10 a .m.
30:41
Oh, it was marvelous. They were very friendly.
30:44
They had a southern hospitality. Mm -hmm. And
30:48
they were playing 2000s jams. A lot of southern
30:51
Atlanta music. It was great. That picture is
30:53
still up at Ryan Hoppy Radio. Shout out to the
30:56
Atlanta Hogs Bar. You guys kick ass. And for
31:03
an airport drink, you make really good Jack and
31:07
Coke, especially when it's double. oh yeah so
31:15
and a real quick psa before we continue on i
31:18
want to let you know ladies and gentlemen boys
31:20
and girls that the freaking ts not well the tsa
31:23
i hope they're being paid now and they're incredibly
31:25
underpaid they worked hard but the uber drivers
31:28
out there it was 30 i got into my uber to go
31:31
to the tampa airport and my uber driver goes
31:34
um how much was your um your uh your ride As
31:40
we're pulling out of my apartment, which is about
31:42
20 minutes without traffic from Tampa Airport.
31:44
And I go, oh, it's about, I don't know, $32.
31:47
He goes, $32? He goes, I'm only getting paid
31:51
$7. So I did tip him $10. I mean, a humble person
31:57
wouldn't say how much they tipped out loud. But
31:58
I ain't humble. But here's the thing, ladies
32:01
and gentlemen, boys and girls. That is utterly
32:04
ridiculous how much they are tipped. That is
32:06
what you call a scam. Mm -hmm. Just wanted to
32:13
say that out there. So here's how it goes. I
32:16
land in Chicago. I watched like six episodes
32:20
of the show Power, book three, fourth, the Tommy
32:23
Egan show. I'm the Tommy Egan of radio. Man,
32:27
in the show Power, he's got gangsters that want
32:30
him dead. I have fat Gen X morning house. I try
32:36
to live my life after him. I just don't kill
32:37
people. I'm half kidding. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
32:41
boys and girls, I watched about five episodes
32:44
on the airplane at the airport and I was just
32:48
in like hyper mode. I was like, yeah, just watch
32:50
the show about a gangsta. Let's go. Well, you
32:53
know what happened? My mom went to the wrong
32:56
terminal. Then I had to wait for my baggage and
32:59
my luggage. And it took like 10 minutes and I
33:01
was grumpy. I was looking for my cover, Phil,
33:07
when I landed. Do you know that Illinois has
33:11
mostly banned kava and kratom? Oh, yeah, you
33:14
know, the important stuff. Get rid of spot checkers
33:19
in the city to know where a gangster was from
33:21
and make the Texas hype. But hey, good job banning
33:27
kava and kratom, you scumbags. It's hard enough
33:31
living in Illinois. If somebody wants to do that,
33:34
who cares? You got to go to Harwood Heights to
33:38
get some. Well, I, from the airport and all the
33:43
craziness of the morning, I literally, I didn't
33:47
want to let my mom drive because her GPS, she's
33:49
so adorable. She uses a GPS from 2010, one of
33:52
the first ones. I'm like, update your car, man.
33:54
Your car's got the chance to be updated. Well,
33:59
here's what happened. I drove to Northern Illinois
34:03
University, which is actually only an hour away
34:05
from Illinois. It's in Sycamore, Illinois, cornfields.
34:09
They just had a tornado watch the other day.
34:11
And I went to Texas Roadhouse. Ah, the Texas
34:15
Roadhouse dinner has to be discussed. So I'm
34:19
fucking tired. I've been up 11 hours. I flew
34:21
through two different cities and was at the airport.
34:25
You know how it goes. My family, some of them
34:32
know what I do in radio and some of them don't
34:38
want to know and want to know me for the version
34:43
they saw of me from 1993 to 2015 when I moved
34:46
out. So that's what's always nice about coming
34:49
back to Illinois is no one gives a shit. I mean,
34:53
some of my family listens, but no one really
34:55
cares. And that was the dinner I had. It was
34:59
with my aunt and my two cousins. And they're
35:02
both doing great at Northern Illinois University,
35:05
getting good grades. And I'm so proud of them
35:08
for taking a conventional way in life. I thought
35:12
about asking my cousin to be a sports reporter
35:15
on Hoppy Hour, but I don't even know if I want
35:16
to get him in the mess. It's known as radio.
35:18
He's going to be a teacher. He's got it set.
35:21
You're always going to need teachers. Because
35:23
AI is never going to be that perfect. And my
35:26
other cousin wants to go into some type of engineering.
35:28
And they're set. Good job, guys. You chose the
35:33
right route. But ladies and gentlemen, boys and
35:36
girls, I had my porterhouse steak. And we were
35:39
there. And you got to remember, I'm a loud, obnoxious
35:42
guy, if you haven't noticed the last 35 minutes.
35:45
Besides the first 10 minutes when I was respectful
35:47
for Bob. So I'm trying to hold in my personality
35:51
around my family. I don't want to horrify them.
35:54
In some ways, I don't want to let them down.
35:57
So you know what happened? They would be like,
36:01
so how's work going? Good. I pretty much said
36:05
that I deal with a lot of narcissists and that
36:07
I make commercials during the day. Totally left
36:10
out happy hour. If they find it online, they
36:13
find it online. But I try to keep this separate.
36:19
This is its own little thing. All 70 of you.
36:23
It's a little more than that. But ladies and
36:25
gentlemen, boys and girls, that was a very nice
36:26
dinner. But there's this goofy guy. Now listen,
36:28
I know I'm goofy, but I can read the room. I
36:31
can tell when people don't want me around from
36:33
all the mushrooms I did. Ladies and gentlemen,
36:38
boys and girls, I was going to make a joke about
36:39
Jeffrey Knight, but I'm not going to. Ladies
36:41
and gentlemen, boys and girls, I'm telling you
36:44
right now. there was this guy this big like Illinois
36:48
guy you know like kind of like a southern dude
36:51
because you're not really in Chicago happy -go
36:53
-lucky guy yeah like he could be like a character
36:56
on a sitcom like your funny fat friend that's
36:58
got like Chris Farley hair like a millennial
37:01
and he's like how you guys doing you guys doing
37:03
good so me and my mom get there before my family
37:06
and he's like oh and you gotta remember I just
37:09
got off an airplane and I just drove an hour
37:10
I don't really feel like talking I know I come
37:13
off outspoken on this show, but I can be a jackass.
37:18
But I was nice. And the guy's like, oh, so is
37:21
it just you? I'm like, no, my mom's in a bathroom
37:24
and three people will be here. Oh, is there any
37:27
occasion? I said, we are celebrating their birthday,
37:30
but he goes, oh, do you want me to get the saddle?
37:33
And do you want me to sing and do a whole loud
37:36
thing for them? And I'm thinking about my aunt
37:39
who's an introvert and my two cousins that are
37:41
pretty shy. I was like, no, we're good. He's
37:44
like, are you sure? Are you sure you don't want
37:47
it? Are you sure? I'm like, yes. Are you sure?
37:51
And he was real pushy. I would love to see him
37:56
on dating apps. Are you sure? Are you sure? Are
38:00
you sure? So we have our dinner. It's a great
38:08
time. I'm very politically correct. I was in
38:11
very much politician mode. Asking more about
38:14
them than trying to change the subject for me.
38:16
And he comes over and he brings my aunt and her
38:21
two sons, my cousins, ice cream. And he goes,
38:25
oh, happy birthday, guys. And everyone's like,
38:29
oh, thank you. Like, I'll kind of take it back
38:31
and happy. And then he goes, what? I know. I
38:35
talked to him earlier and he said you guys don't
38:37
want the saddle. And you guys don't want this
38:40
and that. But do you guys want the saddle? And
38:43
you guys want this and that? And my aunt goes,
38:45
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm so good.
38:48
Are you sure? And I'm like, come on, dude. I
38:50
just fucking told you 90 minutes ago. We don't
38:53
want the fucking saddle. And I got into Chicago
38:58
mode. I was like, no, we're good. And then he
39:00
checked in on us. I'd be talking to my little
39:04
cousins and my aunt about stuff. I never get
39:07
to see them. I literally drove to see them. Is
39:10
your food good? I mean, I get he's looking for
39:13
a tip, but I'm like, bro, the first two times
39:15
is fine. It might just be different in Illinois.
39:18
In Florida, if you go to Texas Roadhouse in St.
39:20
Pete, or I think that's Seminole, they'll ask
39:23
you once. They don't give a shit. And they go,
39:24
okay, well, you pay on the little machine. There,
39:26
up here, a little different. Let me take a sip
39:30
of my energy drink. Oh, yeah. All right, so there's
39:39
that. Yeah, I keep my family private because
39:44
I remember one time I was talking to Woody from
39:49
the Woody show. I was probably more drunk than
39:52
him, but it was like 2 a .m. and we're going
39:54
into... the uh we're going to our let me let
40:00
me describe this so weird being in my childhood
40:02
room we're going to our rooms at the morning
40:05
show boot camp it's like a hotel conference for
40:08
radio house that was gross that was a good burp
40:12
though and uh he goes i go i really respect how
40:16
when you take your kids out places that you don't
40:18
show their face and he goes of course i do that
40:21
and i go what do you mean and he goes i signed
40:25
up for this light to be in the spotlight. He
40:29
goes, I signed up for this life, not like to
40:32
be in the spotlight. He goes, my kids and my
40:34
wife didn't sign up for this. And that's kind
40:36
of how I feel about my family. I'm like, they
40:38
didn't sign up for this. They don't need this.
40:41
They don't need to get harassed online. Mm -hmm.
40:45
All right, let's see what's going on in the world.
40:48
We'll talk about it in a second, but Ice Spice
40:50
got slapped at a Hollywood McDonald's. Mm -hmm.
40:55
Brooke Hogan discusses her biggest regret. She's
41:02
mad at herself for not being on her dad's will.
41:05
Oh, you were trying to prove a point. Was it
41:11
worth it? Not getting paid? Listen, because I've
41:18
had it happen. Getting money after a relative
41:20
dies, like when it's a lot of money, it's a great
41:23
feeling or whatever because you get money. but
41:26
it's like man it's a weird feeling because it's
41:30
like it's so empty you'd rather just have them
41:33
buy the stuff for you and be alive here is uh
41:35
brooke hogan talking about a hulk being cut from
41:38
the or hulk about uh sorry i'm all out of place
41:44
in this room brooke hogan regrets signing off
41:46
on being cut from the hulk hogan will Oh, I should
41:52
probably, even when I'm in Illinois, I do this
41:53
in Florida. I did this in Illinois. I had the
41:56
site muted. There were situations that had me
41:59
so scared. I really took myself off the world
42:02
because number one, I was actually scared for
42:05
myself, my family, my safety. Who are you? Like,
42:09
why would you be scared? I guess that's, that's
42:11
what people are asking people. And. forgive me,
42:14
but people find it strange to hear you take it
42:17
off because most people immediately go to money,
42:20
right? Like, let's be realistic. I would say
42:21
most of America, when they heard you remove yourself
42:24
from the will, they go, why, why would she not
42:26
want the money? And I know that that was not
42:28
the reason for you pulling your name, but everyone's
42:31
just, I think they're trying to, they were having
42:33
a hard time wrapping their brain around why you
42:35
wouldn't want to be a part of it. First of all,
42:39
there's not enough money in the world that would
42:44
matter with what I felt I was facing. There were
42:48
just too many people that I had solid knowledge
42:55
of not being good people. Oh, yeah! You go, Brooke!
43:02
Around my dad. Yeah. Now she wants the money.
43:07
Diana Rossini saved a man and a dog from a car
43:10
accident. Super side chick to the rescue. A music
43:16
producer is suing Offset amid shooting, saying
43:19
that he owes him money. Logan Paul said he's
43:23
not worried about Tom Brady showing up at WrestleMania.
43:26
I don't know what happened, but WrestleMania
43:28
is stupid. Erica Kirk is hiding right now. She's
43:33
probably sad about the record low ticket sales
43:36
they had. Kylie Jenner looked like a hot piece
43:40
of ass at Coachella. I'm going to post it on
43:43
my website at Ryan Hoppy Radio. And we'll post
43:47
that in a second. What else do we got here? Ice
43:51
Spice responds to the McDonald's video. And says
43:55
this wouldn't have happened at Wendy's. And we'll
43:57
get to that video in a second. I'm teasing you
43:59
right now. I'm aging you. You're almost there.
44:02
Gee, I wonder why my family doesn't want to hear
44:04
my show. Supposedly, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds'
44:10
marriage is not too good right now. And here
44:16
is Diddy's thug of a son known as King Comes
44:21
talking about his dad. Your dad's a loser like
44:25
you. Mm -hmm. Here he is. You know, you and your
44:33
family always put on a united front. How's your
44:35
dad doing? He's good. Thank you. Blowing some
44:38
guys. Is there anything he wants anybody to know
44:41
about his situation? There's the cops getting
44:43
that thug, King Combs. Anything you can tell
44:48
us? Nothing, y 'all. Nothing. Are you hoping
44:50
he's free? I love running trains with him. What
45:02
do you think is the exact age that someone is
45:05
considered old? The official age is 69 years
45:10
old. The data suggests many of us are putting
45:15
off habits that help us age well. Gen Zers don't
45:21
think you look good when you're old. So there's
45:23
some riveting news from the Daily Mail. Take
45:27
it or leave it. I don't give a shit. You're listening
45:30
and I appreciate that. 856 -49 -HAPPY. That's
45:34
856 -494 -6773. Let's go through Instagram right
45:38
now. Neon was shocked to find out that everyone
45:44
real close to Alabama Barker is wanting them
45:48
to date. She has a boyfriend, that big black
45:50
guy with the BBC. No, but you know what I got
45:53
a text saying? This whole time you had a boyfriend,
45:55
question mark, talking about you. And I'm like...
45:58
I had a boyfriend? No, they're saying, like,
46:00
this whole time, like, that I've known this person.
46:03
Mind you, I met Coachella. Alabama Barker's a
46:07
hot piece of ass, isn't she? This whole time
46:09
you had a boyfriend, and they're talking about
46:11
you. Oh! They're really, really, really... I
46:14
don't know what's going on, but... You know he
46:16
wants to plow. Everyone's really, like... Crazy.
46:20
There's these streams that like Neon does and
46:22
he has this exact face all the time. It looks
46:25
like he's trying to smell a fart. It's very,
46:26
very weird. Well, he is Indian and Indian food
46:29
makes you do that. Millie Bobby Brown was on
46:34
the Color Daddy podcast. God damn it. Thought

47:35
you go. She doesn't like shopping for expensive
47:37
things. And then here she is. Oh, it isn't an
47:42
interesting clip. Mia Khalifa said she has a
47:45
hard time finding jobs. Can you explain that
47:47
experience? Yeah, it's very weird to go into
47:50
a job interview thinking, oh, I'm just going
47:52
to go back to normal life and having the interviewer
47:54
ask you if. if you did porn. Right. Oh, yeah.
48:01
I think I saw you with bodily fluid down your
48:03
face. There's nothing. Oh, you think they're
48:05
asking you that because they knew? Yes. Yeah,
48:08
they recognized me. Oh, yeah, they were spanking
48:10
on it. I went to a couple interviews where some
48:12
comments were made, and then I finally got a
48:14
job at the law firm, and then I got a job working
48:16
for a friend's company at the construction firm,
48:19
and... Oh, yeah. That's where the semen, I mean
48:22
cement is. Then I just realized I... You feel
48:26
uncomfortable. Yeah, she regrets every bit of
48:29
taking all of it. I feel uncomfortable everywhere
48:32
I go. Yeah. She seems like a miserable person.
48:36
Mm -hmm. 856 -49 -HOPPY. That's 856 -494 -6773.
48:46
So here's another clip. Here's another clip from
48:49
Millie Bobby Brown on Call Her Daddy. Here she
48:53
is discussing why she hates getting picked up
48:56
by men at the airport until her husband Jake
48:58
did it. Like, and I knew his favorite color,
49:00
like favorite food, all the things before I met
49:02
him. And then when I met him, I walked through
49:06
the airport. And usually this is a huge ick for
49:08
me. Like, just like men picking me up from an
49:10
airport make me feel sick. Like, I can't, I refuse.
49:14
I had, it's just like, I mean, if you have Millie
49:17
Bobby Brown there, you got to shoot your shot.
49:21
I've had bad experiences where they get me flowers
49:23
and I'm like, I cannot interact with you ever
49:25
again. It just freaks me out. I just think it's
49:28
like weird. He picked me up and I was like in
49:31
love. Like I was like, oh my God, you've broken
49:33
the cycle. How have you broken the cycle? Billy,
49:36
this is the most random ick I have ever fucking
49:39
heard from anyone. Shut up Alex, you're annoying.
49:43
You don't see where I'm coming from. You don't
49:44
see where I'm coming from. Actually, I can so
49:47
see it though. Just the standing there waiting.
49:50
I just can't. I can't bear it. I can't buy it.
49:54
It's so weird how she started off as like a little
49:56
kid on a show. Now she's this hot piece of ass.
49:59
I'm like, what the hell happened to her? She's
50:03
got her own kid now. It's weird. Dana White wants
50:08
Johnny Manziel and Bob Mennery to fight. He's
50:11
back. I'm a woman beater loser. Dana what? He
50:17
has supposedly signed a deal at Aiden Ross' fight
50:19
show down in Miami to fight Johnny Manziel, okay?
50:23
I'm betting $10 ,000. Minnery does not show up.
50:25
And Bob, if you do, I'm flying to Miami to watch
50:28
this one. All right, then. Make sure you don't
50:31
put any women around Dana. 856 -49 -HOPPY. That's
50:36
856 -494 -6773. You can tweet at me, at RyanHoppyRadio.
50:43
You can either email me, ryanhoppyradio at gmail
50:46
.com. Let's see what we have right here. Oh,
50:51
it's our dumb president. He says gas prices are
50:53
not high. Will Americans continue to see these
50:56
high gas prices? Well, they're not very high.
50:59
If you look at what they were supposed to be
51:01
in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon with
51:03
the danger that entails. So the gas prices have
51:07
come down very much over the last three, four
51:09
days. I'm sold. I know, you know, that's what
51:12
ABC says. Fuck you, dude. You're a loser. And
51:16
Mago's going to be like, see? I mean, I'm already
51:19
hearing Mago go, this is a part of the process.
51:22
It's like the Philadelphia Flyers, not Flyers,
51:25
the 76ers fans. Trust the process. I don't. So
51:32
the woman that attacked Ice Spice in McDonald's,
51:39
Here she is saying why she did it. My friends
51:41
and everything. And we came from the beach earlier
51:45
that night. We came from the ghetto. And we decided
51:47
to go walk around Hollywood or whatever. But
51:50
before we did that, we decided to stop by McDonald's
51:52
because we all had to use the bathroom. Oh, that's
51:56
a pretty good place. Take a dump or whatever.
52:02
So then one of my friends, she comes out and
52:04
she was like, oh, I think that's iSpice over
52:07
there. And I'm like, oh, for real? So I go up
52:09
to them and I'm giving her and the other girl
52:11
she was with a compliment. No, you weren't. You
52:13
immediately were harassing them. Immediately,
52:17
iSpice was just being rude. She was like, why
52:19
are you over here? You could leave. Bye. Yeah,
52:21
I wouldn't want to be around you, you annoying
52:22
broad. And I'm like, why are you being rude?
52:25
Pretty much. And she was basically saying, like,
52:27
you could just leave. Bye. Like. I don't even
52:29
know why you're at my table. Yeah, why are you
52:31
at her table? She doesn't know the random girl.
52:34
Then that's when I proceed to ask. Because, like,
52:37
you don't got to be rude. I'm just giving you
52:38
guys a compliment. No, you weren't, honey. So
52:42
after she calls me a bitch, I hit her. So I hit
52:45
her. And then so I got escorted out to McDonald's.
52:48
And then so after they escorted me. I'm, like,
52:51
by my car, and I hear Ice Spice in the middle
52:53
of the street talking about something. Where
52:55
is that bitch at? I want to fight her with you.
52:59
So I come back down the street, and then that's
53:02
when me and her fought again, and then she just
53:05
kept talking a whole lot of mess. There you go.
53:08
It's not what the video says. If you're listening
53:10
right now, don't turn off the show, but on your
53:12
computer, look up the video. That is not what
53:15
happened. She's lying. Can you believe that?
53:20
A woman that would harass a celebrity in public
53:22
at McDonald's while they're eating food. It's
53:24
going to make them far later. That literally,
53:25
you're telling me that you don't believe that
53:29
she's lying? She is. Comedian Fatboy says that
53:35
he paved the way for Drewski. Ah, just another
53:38
one of those grumpy guys that is mad that Drewski
53:41
made it big. The difference is Drewski's actually
53:45
funny. Here's Fatboy. Why is Drew Skies? I'm
53:49
the reason why all these motherfuckers out here,
53:52
right? I'm a CEO. I don't want to do what he
53:54
does. I'm not. All right, well, screw off. Oh,
53:59
doing sketch comedy. Oh, you're the first one
54:01
ever. Shut your ass. Here is Akon saying why
54:06
he understands Nick Cannon's lifestyle. A lot
54:09
of people get. you know maybe upset with like
54:13
nick cannon and things like that i don't blame
54:16
him in that situation because he's being honest
54:18
he's being a slut forthcoming he's being honest
54:23
and the women are usually upset at nick cannon
54:26
why why are they being upset you know because
54:28
multiple women multiple children who's more upset
54:32
the guys or the girls i think at this point a
54:35
little bit of everyone. But if you could say
54:37
the majority of which side is more upset, do
54:40
you think it's more of the women upset at Nick
54:41
or more of the guys that's upset at Nick? Probably
54:46
the women. The women? Yeah. They're jealous they
54:48
don't get that dick. Do you think it's because
54:51
they're jealous they're not in that position?
54:52
No. No. Wait. What an annoying rush, huh? I mean,
54:59
I know I got an annoying voice, but at least
55:01
I'm self -aware. Eight, five, six. 49, happy
55:05
to take five, six, four, nine, four, six, seven,
55:07
seven, three. Erica Kirk made her first public
55:11
appearance. And of course it's like the Drewski
55:13
skit. It's literally the Drewski skit. What a
55:33
dumb run. Yeah. That's the way to remember your
55:41
husband. Come out the fucking EDM. He's like,
55:43
you had sex too when you were a Trump model 12
55:45
years ago, honey. You're a bust down. And that's
55:52
what you'll always be. Oh man, I used to be jealous
55:56
of their relationship. When I worked at the same
55:58
company, he worked at Salem Media and I would
56:00
have to listen to his show. I was so jealous.
56:02
I ain't jealous of anything like that. He died
56:05
for people that don't give a shit about him.
56:10
Tory Lanez is filing a lawsuit after he was sued
56:13
16 times in prison and won $100 million. He's
56:18
just looking to get that money when he gets out
56:20
of prison. Steven Jackson reacts to Nori speaking
56:25
about him during the Jason Lee show. Every DM
56:32
I get, somebody, my partners want to crash out.
56:36
Call me telling me there's somebody else that
56:38
said my name. Got it. I get it, bro. Y 'all got
56:43
to keep saying our name. Because y 'all see what
56:48
we doing. Y 'all ain't doing nothing nowhere
56:50
close. I get it, bro. Now, I think Nori's pretty
56:52
successful. Steven Jackson's just a wannabe gangster.
56:56
You ain't tough, dude. I know you were at malice
57:00
at the palace. You're such a badass. You're not.
57:03
Caitlyn Jenner opens up about not being able
57:05
to use her passport because she's identified
57:07
as a male. I had to get it renewed. I sent it
57:11
back. Comes back, gender marker M. Screws everything
57:18
up. So there's a form in there. If they made
57:23
a mistake, you can correct it. So I fill out
57:29
all the proper forms. I'm not calling anybody.
57:31
I'm not calling the president. I mean, I got
57:32
his personal cell number. I'm not calling anybody.
57:34
I'm going to see if I can fix this. Yeah, he
57:36
probably wants to bang himself. Because it's
57:38
not just about me. It's about all people in this
57:41
situation. There we go. I don't give a shit if
57:45
someone wants to be transgender. I was at a cover
57:48
bar the other day, and there was this weird dude.
57:49
And he's like, ah! I know if you want to do what
57:52
you want to do with your body, but you're all
57:55
mentally ill. I'm like, no, you have a problem
57:56
with that. Donald Trump says he will review,
58:00
reveal the UFO files. Those are not the files
58:03
we want to see, buddy. You're a scum bag. Oh,
58:10
I saw this headline and I thought this was absolutely
58:15
ridiculous. I am sick and tired of the Call Her
58:19
Daddy podcast. I first liked it. I first thought
58:23
it was tolerable when she was giving out sex
58:25
advice. But when I heard that she had a ghostwriter,
58:28
I was like, man, you really not good in bed then.
58:30
But here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, boys
58:32
and girls. Sometimes they'll say things on there
58:35
that are a double standard. And here's one. Camila
58:39
Cabello. discusses breakup sex and says she supports
58:44
texting your ex over and over to get it out of
58:46
your body and that she stalks her boyfriend's
58:49
exes. For all the girls listening, I'm curious
58:51
if you have any advice. I've been through it.
58:54
I think social media makes it so much fucking
58:55
worse. How do you handle from past shit of like
58:59
when you know you and your ex are moving on at
59:02
different paces? How the fuck? Oh my God, it's
59:03
the worst. I'm like, I be out here fucking stalking
59:07
bitches. Yeah, you know, can you imagine if I
59:09
did that? My first ex, my ex -fiance, I'll admit,
59:12
two or three times I looked at her social media
59:14
and it feels like you're peeking in a window.
59:17
Mm -hmm. Like you're not supposed to be looking
59:19
at it because when I'm done with my exes, I block
59:21
them. I wish you the best. You ain't getting
59:23
a D like me. Here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen,
59:26
boys and girls. Mm -hmm. If I were to go, oh,
59:29
yeah, I was looking at my ex last week. I'd be
59:33
a psychopath. But when a woman does it, it's
59:36
cool. Man, fuck that. It's just like, how do
59:40
you handle it? I don't even know if you have
59:42
advice. I really think it's like I have been.
59:46
An absolute psycho. You are. When a man admits
59:50
it, he gets locked up, but when a woman does
59:52
it, we all want to bang him. Absolute psycho.
59:54
I love you for admitting that because aren't
59:56
we all? Yeah, you're women and you have estrogen.
1:00:01
We even worse when I was younger. When I was
1:00:03
younger, I would be dating a guy and like stalking
1:00:05
his ex. Camila. I'd be like, what is wrong with
1:00:08
me? Everyone raise your hand in this room. A
1:00:10
lot of things. It's still. The hotter they are,
1:00:14
the crazier they are. I still, honestly, I definitely
1:00:18
like. We all do it. It's been a while since I've
1:00:20
been in like a long -term relationship, but.
1:00:21
Can you imagine if I said this? Can you imagine
1:00:24
if the Joe Rogan show said this? Oh, all the
1:00:27
feminists would be running out with their pitchforks.
1:00:31
But when women do it, get the hell out of here.
1:00:34
God, I was like, he's like telling me he loves
1:00:38
me. And meanwhile, I'm torturing myself over
1:00:41
somebody like he's not even with anymore. It's
1:00:44
like so crazy. Yeah, it's not so crazy. You're
1:00:48
crazy. Moron. I do not support that. I am the
1:00:55
double standard. Call him out. You're a moron.
1:00:59
Who cares what his ex is doing? If you're so
1:01:02
comfortable with yourself. Lil Durk's son speaks
1:01:06
out about not caring about his dad being a rapper.
1:01:09
It makes me feel like good. Who is it at? Dirk.
1:01:14
Yeah, Lil Dirk. Dirk, yeah. Why only Lil Dirk?
1:01:18
Lil Dirk's got five kids. Maybe putting a hint
1:01:22
on King Von's killer may not have been worth
1:01:24
it. You're not going to be able to see your kids,
1:01:26
bro! It makes me feel like... For him. For him,
1:01:32
by the way. All right. Well, well spoken. Not
1:01:35
really. Cardi B had her last show in Atlanta.
1:01:38
And here she is going off on the applying on
1:01:41
the employees. She's a classless moron. Right
1:01:45
here. Shut up. You and your fucking employees
1:01:48
are being disrespectful. Why? I'm not going to
1:01:50
perform. You're a hag. Go get your balls. Like
1:01:54
you said, go get them. Can you imagine getting
1:01:57
into an argument with this broad? Shut up. I'm
1:01:59
not performing today. Let me tell you why. You're
1:02:04
not performing because I'm a classless moron.
1:02:07
And I realized besides WAP, a song about my vagina,
1:02:11
that I'm not that good of a rapper. And I copied
1:02:13
Lil' Kim and Da Brat and Nicki Minaj. MAGA gets
1:02:20
Nicki Minaj and Cardi B mixed up all the time
1:02:23
because they're the same person. Only Nicki Minaj
1:02:26
has better music. Being fucking rude for no reason.
1:02:30
Being rude for no reason. I'm an annoying hag.
1:02:36
I can't do it. I'm the annoying one here. Not
1:02:49
her. Shut up. I just... Today on TMZ. Okay, this
1:02:57
is fair game in DC. Uh... We asked RFK Jr. why
1:03:03
went all Lorraine and Bobbitt on a raccoon. Secretary,
1:03:06
what did you do with the raccoon's dead penis?
1:03:07
Where is it now? He was on a family road trip,
1:03:10
pulled over, and just... dissected this raccoon's
1:03:14
penis. What were the kids doing? The kids are,
1:03:16
like, so used to it at that point. Dad's cutting
1:03:18
off another raccoon penis. We got Kevin Hart,
1:03:22
and we had to ask about this heinous wax figure.
1:03:26
There's no way that they gave him a picture of
1:03:28
me. That's freehand. I kind of see it, though.
1:03:31
No, you don't. No, you do not. Does anybody here
1:03:34
agree with me? No. Nope. No, I see it. I see,
1:03:37
like, a little bit. No, girl! Carol wants some
1:03:40
job security, man. Oh, don't bully her. Shannon
1:03:46
Elizabeth, she is entering a new career path.
1:03:49
OnlyFans model. If you go on OnlyFans, you can't
1:03:52
be posting bathing suit and Instagram posts.
1:03:55
But you don't have to buy it. You have to disclose
1:03:57
before you buy. Yeah, I one time paid for OnlyFans.
1:04:03
I matched with this girl and she said I had to
1:04:05
talk to her on there and I was just curious.
1:04:07
I paid $2 .99. Once you're on there, you gotta
1:04:09
pay for a selfie and you gotta pay to message
1:04:12
them. I felt used. What you're going to see.
1:04:16
This is not me, of course, but you might subscribe
1:04:19
to somebody and then it's not what you were looking
1:04:23
for. Alex Cooper is not backing down from the
1:04:28
Alex Earl feud. A bunch of cackling hens arguing.
1:04:33
Shut up! Did that Carl's Jr. Super Bowl ad and
1:04:36
there were rumors that Alex Cooper really won.
1:04:38
I never even saw that Super Bowl ad. I'm not
1:04:40
aware. No one watches the ads. Although Alex
1:04:42
looks like a hot piece of ass there. We spoke
1:04:45
with the spokesperson for Carl's Jr. I want to
1:04:48
know what that office building is like. Hot blondes
1:04:50
eating burgers. Do they do it in like Daisy Dukes?
1:04:52
Yes, because the people who work in an office
1:04:54
usually walk around in Daisy Dukes. Katie, get
1:04:56
your hot pants on. We're going to go try out
1:04:58
a burger. I love how misogynistic they are. It's
1:05:08
funny. Natalie Portman is expecting. The actress
1:05:12
is pregnant with her third child, her first with
1:05:15
boyfriend Tanguy de Sable. Just two years since
1:05:18
she and Benjamin Millipede finalized their divorce.
1:05:20
Oh, yeah. You know, Benjamin feels so replaceable.
1:05:25
After 11 years of marriage. All right, so she's
1:05:27
having a kid. Good for her. I don't really care.
1:05:32
What's going on here? Rihanna is setting the
1:05:34
record straight about pregnancy rumors. However,
1:05:36
Chrissy Clemons posted a reel April 17th expressing
1:05:39
how wonderful it is that the 38 -year -old will
1:05:41
soon... I wonder how... Wow, she's 38. It makes
1:05:43
me feel old. I wonder how it makes her feel when
1:05:46
there's pregnancy rumors. Like, am I getting
1:05:47
fat? ...have four kids running around. However,
1:05:51
Rihanna commented under the video denying the
1:05:53
rumors that she's currently expecting, saying,
1:05:56
quote, is the baby in the womb with us? The singer...
1:05:59
Ah, dang them. There is that. And there's this
1:06:03
headline. Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird are calling
1:06:06
it quits. Wait, wait. I thought it was rap and
1:06:09
now. What? I'm looking this up. How do you pronounce
1:06:16
rap and now? I thought it was rap and now. Here's
1:06:28
the video. You are looking at Julian's pronunciation
1:06:32
guide where we look at how to pronounce better
1:06:35
some of the most mispronounced words in the world.
1:06:38
Like this other curious word. But how do you
1:06:41
say what you're looking for today? We are looking
1:06:46
at how to pronounce this name and more confusing
1:06:49
names. Many mispronounced. Stay tuned to the
1:06:52
channel to learn more. Megan Rapinoe. What? It's
1:06:58
not Rapinoe? What? Whoa. The woman was right.
1:07:05
The soccer legend and basketball star. Yeah,
1:07:08
I didn't break up after nearly a decade together.
1:07:11
I did not know that they were scissoring, man.
1:07:14
I didn't know Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe were
1:07:17
dating. In a joint April 17th Instagram statement,
1:07:25
the sports star is right. After a lot of thought,
1:07:27
we've made the decision to separate as a couple.
1:07:33
Lori Loughlin debuts her latest hair transformation.
1:07:46
On April 16th, the Full House alum attends LACMA's
1:07:50
opening gala for the David Geffen Galleries,
1:07:54
sporting a short bob with bae. All right, so
1:07:57
she's looking hot there. Can you tell I'm not
1:07:59
trying to be here all day? I'm at my childhood
1:08:01
house. You don't know what's going to happen.
1:08:04
MS attacks your nervous system. I have infusions
1:08:07
every six months to slow the disease's progress,
1:08:09
but those infusions kill all the B cells in my
1:08:12
body, making me prone to infection. Christina,
1:08:14
who revealed her MS diagnosis in 2021, has reportedly
1:08:18
been hospitalized since late March. That's around
1:08:21
the same time her podcast with Jamie Lynn Sigler
1:08:24
went on hiatus. There will be no new episode
1:08:27
today. I did not know. Jamie's so freaking hot.
1:08:31
We will be back in a few weeks. All right. I
1:08:34
hope it all works out with Christina Applegate.
1:08:37
She's such a cutie pie. Pope Leo addressed the
1:08:41
back and forth with President Trump. What an
1:08:43
embarrassment our orange pedophile president
1:08:46
is. The Pope saying it's not in his interest
1:08:49
to debate the president, bringing up his name
1:08:52
directly to reporters on a plane. All right.
1:08:55
Good. I like this Pope. I don't like the Catholic
1:08:58
Church at all. But he seems like a good guy.
1:09:04
Oh, he totally does. He's from Chicago. Pete
1:09:09
Davidson is almost tattoo -free. The comedian
1:09:12
shows off the progress of its years -long tattoo
1:09:15
removal journey with shockingly bare arms at
1:09:18
this year's CinemaCon. All right, so he got rid
1:09:21
of his tattoos. It looks good. He looks clean
1:09:24
cut! That's right, our pop -start sneak peek,
1:09:27
guys. And you mentioned at the top of the show,
1:09:28
Tom Cruise officially flying back into one of
1:09:31
his most famous roles. All right, I got to skip
1:09:36
over this because of the copyright, but they're
1:09:38
making Top Gun 3. Have we really run out of ideas?
1:09:42
That's all we have. And supposedly there was
1:09:48
a couple that got into an argument at a basketball
1:09:56
game. So we have that headline coming up. Donald
1:09:59
Trump, 70 % of people disapprove of the Iraq
1:10:01
war. Yeah. Here's Alec Baldwin. Also this morning,
1:10:05
there is new legal trouble for Alec Baldwin.
1:10:08
Loser! A judge on Friday ordering the actor to
1:10:11
face a civil trial over alleged negligence on
1:10:14
the set of the film Rust. The new complaint coming
1:10:17
from a crew member who claims the incident caused
1:10:19
him emotional distress. Baldwin was charged.
1:10:23
Oh, you're a loser, Alec. And you always be one!
1:10:25
With manslaughter in 2021. That was five years
1:10:28
ago. Jesus Christ. Wow, that was a long time
1:10:32
ago. And I guess a couple got into an argument
1:10:34
at a basketball game. Oh, you know, it's her
1:10:37
time of the month. What else do we have here?
1:10:45
Here's Jay Leno on Turning 76. I met Byron when
1:10:51
he was 14, and he was a comedy writer. And Letterman
1:10:54
and I had a job writing jokes for Jimmy Walker.
1:10:57
Dynamite! We were like in our 20s at the time.
1:11:01
It just makes me laugh that he's become this
1:11:03
huge titan of the industry. And he was a good
1:11:05
joke writer too. Just last week, CBS announced
1:11:08
Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen will replace
1:11:10
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert starring...
1:11:12
It's basically broken entertainment. It's basically
1:11:15
like 1025, The Bone, on the weekend on the other
1:11:18
stations. They're just, you know, making money.
1:11:23
Twelve years after Jay Leno left late night,
1:11:25
he's making a TV return on Jeff Dunham's series,
1:11:28
The Cars That Drove Us, airing now on Discovery.
1:11:31
They were determined to be the number one sports
1:11:33
car in America. This is actually the closest
1:11:36
I've ever stood to Jay Leno. It's really uncomfortable.
1:11:39
Jeff Dunham's really aged. You actually smell
1:11:42
really good. Where's your dumb puppet? In just
1:11:45
over two weeks, I kill you. Remember that? Night
1:11:48
legend turns 76 and he's already joking about
1:11:51
how he wants to be remembered. I wish when I
1:11:54
die I could live just long enough to when they
1:11:57
show it on Entertainment Tonight and they play
1:11:59
the theme song Slow J. Don't have died today.
1:12:04
I know Letterman fans don't like him, but I like
1:12:08
him. If you like me. had no idea who david or
1:12:13
d4vd is before this body was found in the trunk
1:12:16
of his car let me catch you up popular singer
1:12:19
david arrested in connection to the death of
1:12:22
a loser teenage girl seen in this footage obtained
1:12:26
by the california post This TMZ video capturing
1:12:34
the tense moments when LAPD officers made the
1:12:37
arrest at his home. That had to be a gentleman
1:12:39
pumping to get that thug. In the Hollywood Hills.
1:12:42
His music's so soulless, too. It's just garbage.
1:12:47
All right, so that's him for killing Celeste
1:12:50
Rivas. Rest in peace, princess. Sorry that happened
1:12:54
to you. Mm -hmm. Ice Spice is speaking out. Two
1:12:59
days after the rapper was attacked, while enjoying
1:13:02
a meal at a McDonald's in Hollywood per footage
1:13:04
obtained by TMZ, Ice breaks her silence. Making
1:13:13
light of the April 15th altercation, Ice writes
1:13:16
on X April 17th alongside a snippet of the video,
1:13:19
This Wouldn't Happen at a Wendy's. In the video,
1:13:22
the 26 -year -old was seen sitting fighting,
1:13:28
especially at the ghetto ones. Being in a booth
1:13:31
alongside a friend inside the fast food chain.
1:13:34
There's them. And then there's this video right
1:13:37
here. I thought this was such a double standard.
1:13:41
If a man beats up a woman, he gets charges. Oh,
1:13:44
but with Taylor Frankie Paul, the beautiful woman
1:13:47
does it. She gets away with it. Man, fuck that.
1:13:52
If she's in a really bad place, I don't actually
1:13:55
feel safe at all with that. That's Dakota Mortensen
1:13:58
talking to Draper, Utah police on March 19th
1:14:01
about an alleged incident that occurred on February
1:14:04
23rd. I never, ever, ever want to hear women
1:14:07
talk about double standards, about how hard they
1:14:11
have it. They're getting paid more in the workplace.
1:14:14
And you know what else is going on? Mm -hmm.
1:14:18
Is the fact that they get away with doing things
1:14:21
like that. It's ridiculous. She beat the crap
1:14:24
out of him. Now, do I think he's a saint? No,
1:14:27
not at all. I think he's a scumbag as well. But
1:14:31
don't ever cry to me when you are allowed to
1:14:33
beat up a man. You're a loser. It's just some
1:14:37
of the footage released from the investigation
1:14:39
into one of the alleged domestic assault incidents.
1:14:42
NBC legal analyst Misty Maris explains while
1:14:45
that alleged altercation was recent, statute
1:14:48
of limitations also came into play in regard
1:14:50
to charges. I hate statute of limitations. That
1:14:53
thug T .I. and his stupid hat. hang of a life.
1:14:58
You know, we're doing a bunch of sketchy things
1:15:00
sexually and statute of limitations saved them.
1:15:03
I think that's one of the worst things we have
1:15:05
in America. Being filed. Anything that happened
1:15:09
over two years ago cannot be charged. What? That's
1:15:13
so stupid. No one in the world laughs at us.
1:15:17
Anything else. I don't believe that would happen
1:15:19
to a man. No, I really don't. That happened within
1:15:22
this two year span. Investigators and prosecutors
1:15:26
said that there was not enough evidence. What?
1:15:29
Not enough evidence? She was whipping the fucking
1:15:32
barstool ahead on video. Now, if you didn't have
1:15:35
the video, that's different. But we saw that
1:15:38
psychopathic moron doing it in front of her daughter.
1:15:42
Are you out of your mind? This is women protecting
1:15:46
women, the same women that claim they want equal
1:15:49
rights and that they're fair. Until it's time
1:15:53
for them to face the same trouble mad face. Ridiculous.
1:15:57
Corroboration of either person's story. You're
1:16:00
a loser, Taylor. I don't care how freaking hot
1:16:03
you are. You're a sociopath. To actually move
1:16:06
forward with criminal charges. All right. Well,
1:16:08
protect the woman all you want. I never ever.
1:16:11
Oh, no. We have it so hard. You have it better
1:16:15
than ever. Hot ass girls get jobs in radio because
1:16:19
they're hot. Okay. And I'm not making it about
1:16:22
me right now. I'm just saying in the job, hot
1:16:24
girls are getting jobs. So shut your ass. Shut
1:16:28
up. Enough of it. Now. Oh, it's so hard being
1:16:34
a woman in 2020. No, it's actually hard being
1:16:37
a man. Because when you get beat up, no one gives
1:16:40
a shit. Oh, wow. This really escalated, didn't
1:16:45
it? What a sussy uphand. You know, though, in
1:16:49
bed, she brings the ruckus. I mean, at least
1:16:51
she has, you know, some sort of talent. She can
1:16:55
provide something to the world. And we'll call
1:17:22
it a day. The semen was so big. As a reminder,
1:17:27
if you don't feel like listening to this next
1:17:29
song, you can skip over it. But Ryan Hoppy of
1:17:32
Hoppy Hour takes pride in his selection, so stick
1:17:35
around, folks. Don't worry, Fresno. Hoppy Hour
1:17:38
will be right back. Oops. We're going to play
1:17:42
some music in a little bit. We're going to hang
1:17:44
out or whatever. I'm still getting used to recording
1:17:46
in my childhood room. also known as the spank
1:17:50
room because I got spanked in here and then I
1:17:53
spanked my junk in here later on in life but
1:17:57
let's discuss my interview with Bob from the
1:18:01
Bob and Tom show from 11 years ago we will play
1:18:03
that right now on Hoppy Hour and let me know
1:18:06
what you think here we go What up? What is happening?
1:18:14
This is Hoppy Hour. I am your host, Ryan Hoppy.
1:18:19
And on the phone line from the nationally syndicated
1:18:22
Bob and Tom show, Bob is on the phone line. What's
1:18:26
up, man? How you doing, Ryan? I'm doing great,
1:18:29
man. First of all, I'm a big fan. I used to listen
1:18:32
to you. I sort of picked up the reception when
1:18:35
you were on 100 .7 in Illinois, and I would listen
1:18:39
when I can. So this is an honor to have you on
1:18:41
Hoppy Hour. Well, thanks very much. It's my pleasure
1:18:44
to be here. The last two months you were on what
1:18:49
seemed like a very nice vacation. I saw you and
1:18:51
your wife Becky would live tweet it, and I was
1:18:54
a bit jealous. It seemed like a fun time. So
1:18:57
how was your vacation this summer? Oh, fantastic.
1:19:00
Our main trip was through the Adirondacks in
1:19:03
New York. I think most people think New York
1:19:06
is just a big city, where in fact it's one of
1:19:09
the most beautiful states in our country. And
1:19:13
what were some of the best parts about the vacation?
1:19:17
Uh, let's see, uh, traveling, uh, you know, camping.
1:19:21
We did a, I guess what you call a little, uh,
1:19:24
boondocking where you don't need, uh, electricity.
1:19:29
You just run off of the, I guess the, uh, just
1:19:33
run off the land and, uh, camp like you used
1:19:36
to in the, you know, in the old days, but you
1:19:38
actually have an airstream with you. You don't
1:19:40
have to sleep on the ground, but, uh, it was,
1:19:43
uh, it was a great trip. Saw a lot of places
1:19:46
we had never seen before. That's the beautiful
1:19:48
thing about traveling on highways. There's so
1:19:51
much in America to see that we want to see as
1:19:55
much as we can. That's our goal here in the future.
1:19:59
Was it one of those things where did the vacation
1:20:02
begin to drag on? Were you itching to go back
1:20:06
on the radio or did you love every second? Oh,
1:20:09
loved every second. Absolutely. Radio is a fantastic
1:20:14
form of media. I love it with all my heart, but
1:20:17
I didn't have to wake up at 4 o 'clock in the
1:20:20
morning, and it was nice to sleep in that long.
1:20:24
The body really enjoyed it. Does that take a
1:20:28
toll on you for the last, let's say, like 30
1:20:31
years to wake up every morning at 4? Or is it
1:20:34
something where you wake up every day and you
1:20:37
go, I love my job? Like, how does that work for
1:20:39
you? When the alarm goes off, it sucks to no
1:20:44
end. Once you get into the studio, it's fantastic.
1:20:48
The toughest part, in my opinion, they pay me
1:20:50
to get out of bed. So I struggle to get out,
1:20:56
but once you have your shower and a cup of coffee,
1:20:59
everything's right with the world, and you go
1:21:01
in and talk about it. People say, oh, you must
1:21:06
be used to this. No, no, you never are. It is
1:21:10
hard to get out of bed every morning. What is
1:21:13
the key to having a great show when you're on
1:21:16
very little sleep? Because I can imagine it must
1:21:19
be weird since you're heard in so many cities
1:21:21
when that mic's on and you're like, crap, I'm
1:21:24
talking on the radio. Do you ever have that moment?
1:21:27
Well, you have a good support staff. Yeah. When
1:21:30
you have Tom, Christy, and Chick, it makes things
1:21:33
so much easier because they're great broadcasters.
1:21:36
If one of us is not feeling well, someone else
1:21:40
picks up. You just keep going. And, yeah, we
1:21:43
can tell. I mean, we've been together for so
1:21:46
long. We can tell when somebody is not hitting
1:21:49
on all eight pistons. So it's a good mix with
1:21:55
the group. And we know how to, I guess, you know,
1:22:00
just figure out what the other one's feeling
1:22:03
that day. If someone's not feeling all well,
1:22:05
I mean, you kind of step up and help them out.
1:22:09
What is it about everyone on your team that is
1:22:12
so special? How have you guys made it work for
1:22:15
so long? Well, everybody brings it to the show,
1:22:20
and if you have a problem outside, you don't
1:22:25
bring it into the studio. You come in and do
1:22:27
your... You can't walk out being, say, a court
1:22:51
jester and not be funny. If you're not funny,
1:22:55
you're not going to, well, that's off of your
1:22:58
head, I think. So it's, I don't know, it's just
1:23:05
a good group of people who are professionals
1:23:08
and, you know, we know what we're being paid
1:23:12
to do. How did you meet everybody on The Bob
1:23:16
and Tom Show? I met Tom in Petoskey, Michigan.
1:23:21
I was working at a radio station, WMBN in Petoskey.
1:23:28
And it was FM, AM. The AM was WPZ. Pardon me.
1:23:34
And I wasn't making a whole lot of money because
1:23:38
it was small -time radio. And I attended bar
1:23:42
at night. the income. And Tom came in after a
1:23:47
Jay Giles concert, and I served him a drink,
1:23:50
and we started talking, and he came by the station
1:23:53
the next day, spoke with my owner general manager,
1:23:58
and she hired him as my program director. And
1:24:03
we have been working together ever since. And
1:24:08
that was in 1980. What was it about Tom that
1:24:12
drew you in? humor, just he was a good guy, good
1:24:21
hang. And were there some things you guys would
1:24:24
do to hang out? When you first began doing a
1:24:27
show, I feel like you guys don't know each other
1:24:30
that much, so would you guys hang out outside
1:24:33
of the show to get to know each other? Oh, yeah,
1:24:36
we did that for quite a while. In fact, after
1:24:38
the first year, we ended up being roommates.
1:25:03
because we never intended to be in radio. It
1:25:09
was a total mistake for us. I walked into a radio
1:25:13
station, the MBN and WPZ, and my knowledge of
1:25:21
radio was zilch, and I walked in and asked if
1:25:23
they needed someone to spin records for the disc
1:25:25
jockey. It was a total fluke. And meeting Tom
1:25:42
was a total fluke. And having a morning show
1:25:45
was a total fluke. Never something that we prepared
1:25:47
for in life. It just happened. And I don't know
1:25:52
if that was the key to our success, but it certainly
1:25:56
helped. Who are some people that have helped
1:25:59
you and Tom in maybe giving you guys some advice
1:26:02
through all these years? Were there some, like,
1:26:04
radio consultants? Or were there people that
1:26:07
just kind of helped you along the way? No, it
1:26:10
was since we started in small -time radio, we
1:26:13
kind of, we had a, there was a guy that when
1:26:16
I first got hired by Gary Buffington, he was
1:26:20
a great guy, had been on radio forever, named
1:26:21
Tom Chorley. And Tom showed me all the robes
1:26:24
of what you do and what you don't do. And so
1:26:27
I learned, you know, I guess it was kind of an
1:26:31
on -air internship, although I was being paid,
1:26:35
to learn radio. And the same thing happened with
1:26:38
Tom. Well, he was in Delanda, Florida. He was
1:26:42
on air for a year there. So we both learned what
1:26:45
radio was. And when we had finally met and we
1:26:51
started goofing around in the air, we knew what
1:26:54
the rules were and what they weren't and what
1:26:58
we could do and what we couldn't. And it just
1:27:02
happened. We were just two guys who wanted to
1:27:04
make people laugh. to the large 100 ,000 -watt
1:27:16
radio station in Petoskey. It was WJML. And we
1:27:21
did mornings, and we just kicked ass. It was
1:27:25
a lot of fun, and there were consultants who
1:27:27
would tell us, hey, you're doing it wrong. But,
1:27:32
you know, we were making people laugh. And when
1:27:37
the ratings came out, the day after the consultant,
1:27:44
a 44 share in the morning oh my goodness yeah
1:27:47
and i was like what we're doing it wrong and
1:27:51
next you know we're we're getting offers for
1:27:55
out from around the country to to go places and
1:27:58
we got hired at uh wfbq in indianapolis and that
1:28:04
was in 1983 and we have been there ever since
1:28:06
what is the key to having great ratings all these
1:28:10
years, especially since you've been at the same
1:28:13
place all these years? Program content, making
1:28:16
your people laugh, making them, just keeping
1:28:23
them abreast of what's going on in the world
1:28:25
today, making fun of what's going on in the world
1:28:27
today, just giving them... You know, make them
1:28:40
happy to get in their car and take a listen.
1:28:43
If I knew exactly what it was, I would be the
1:28:48
richest man in radio, but I don't. I don't know.
1:28:51
It's just the main thing is to, I guess, make
1:28:56
your listeners happy, if that's what you're intending
1:28:59
to be. If you're intending to be a news broadcaster,
1:29:04
well, you have to broadcast the news, and you
1:29:06
have to do it, I guess, a way to entertain and
1:29:11
inform is the key to good ratings, in my opinion.
1:29:15
How did it feel when you guys went from just
1:29:18
being on in Indianapolis to then being syndicated?
1:29:21
How did that work? Well, we had done 60 comedy
1:29:28
albums, and there was, I guess, a survey in the
1:29:33
radio industry asking who was the most stolen
1:29:36
from show and radio, and it turned out to be
1:29:38
us. We would put these comedy albums out, and
1:29:42
disc jockeys around the country would grab them,
1:29:45
and they'd play little pieces of it, but never
1:29:47
give us credit, or they would take one of the
1:29:50
bits on the album and re -record it and claim
1:29:56
it was theirs. So we decided, hey, if we're the
1:30:00
most stolen from show, well, why don't we try
1:30:03
syndicating and see Frank Wood out of Cincinnati
1:30:09
had just acquired our radio station. It was Broadcast
1:30:15
Alchemy. It was the name of his company. And
1:30:18
he goes, hey, why don't we get this syndication
1:30:21
thing started? So we started with Evansville,
1:30:26
Indiana and Fort Wayne, Indiana, just to stay
1:30:30
with us. And it spread like wildfire. to 150
1:30:37
affiliates in about two years. How does that
1:30:40
feel? Does it seem like real life? Or does it
1:30:43
just seem like something that is fake? When you
1:30:46
go from having two towns to 150, what is that
1:30:51
like, Bob? Well, you know what? You don't realize.
1:30:54
I still don't realize. web with it, so it was
1:31:07
amazing. But you're sitting in a room with three
1:31:09
other people, and all you do is talk with them
1:31:13
every morning, and that's what radio is to me.
1:31:16
I don't think of it as how many people are listening.
1:31:20
I think of it as I go to the studio in the morning
1:31:22
and have the time of my life. So I don't even
1:31:26
think about how many cities we're in. It's just
1:31:30
go in there, and I try to make Tom, Christy,
1:31:32
and Chick laugh as best I can. And now when you
1:31:36
are syndicated in all these different cities,
1:31:38
were you ever worried about the ratings in each
1:31:41
town? Or was it one of those things where you
1:31:44
just said, I'll just keep doing my show and hope
1:31:48
for the best? Yeah, you just keep doing the show.
1:31:51
And when you move into a new city, it takes a
1:31:56
while for people to change their morning habits.
1:31:59
They're used to what used to be the rock station,
1:32:02
and many people complain. music they once had.
1:32:06
And it takes a while for everyone to change,
1:32:09
you know, how they wake up. And once they get
1:32:13
a little hint of what's going on, they want,
1:32:16
oh, let me try that again. I'll try it again.
1:32:18
And it usually takes one to two years to get
1:32:22
decent ratings in a city. And so far, we've had
1:32:55
carte blanche to make fun of others. That's what
1:32:59
we do. You don't change to hopefully be big in
1:33:06
one city and small in the others. You make it
1:33:08
all the same. What are some of the most diehard
1:33:12
cities that you guys are syndicated in where
1:33:15
these fans are just so loyal? Believe it or not,
1:33:19
every one of them. We have the best listeners
1:33:22
in the world. People who know who we are. It
1:33:29
still blows me away that this happened. It's
1:33:34
just hard to believe at times. What is it about
1:33:39
your fan base that is so great? Why are they
1:33:42
the best in the world? They're, in my opinion,
1:33:45
smart, funny. They're educated. They're uneducated.
1:33:50
They're just well -rounded people who all they
1:33:54
want, you know, they can be. is a good laugh.
1:34:01
And everybody wants a good laugh. You've had
1:34:05
so many great moments over these years on the
1:34:08
Bob and Tom show. What are some that come to
1:34:11
your mind? Well, the biggest for me is having
1:34:15
the opportunity to interview Paul McCartney one
1:34:18
-on -one. That was, you know, a huge, huge Beatles
1:34:23
fan. And having that moment, it was just, you
1:34:27
know, me and Paul. What is that like when you
1:34:38
walk into the room and there he is, Sir Paul
1:34:41
McCartney? Did it seem like real life? Were you
1:34:44
nervous? How did this go down? I was nervous,
1:34:48
and it happened again. I got a phone call from
1:34:54
our program director the morning of his concert
1:34:58
here in town. He goes, hey, Bob, would you like
1:35:02
to interview Paul McCartney? I said, is this
1:35:06
a joke? And I said, I said, I'd love to. He goes,
1:35:12
well, be at the arena at, I don't know, probably
1:35:16
his show was at 8. I had to be there at like
1:35:17
5 or something. And I'm sitting in this room
1:35:20
listening to them sound check. I can hear them
1:35:24
in the distance. And it's over with. And next
1:35:27
thing you know, the door swings open and there's
1:35:29
McCartney. And, you know, I was as nervous as
1:35:33
could be. I mean, what do you ask? and you don't
1:35:46
bore them to death. So, you know, we had about
1:35:49
a 15 -minute chat, and, you know, it's still
1:35:54
as memorable as could be. It was definitely a
1:35:58
highlight. We've been fortunate enough to meet
1:36:00
many great celebrities, and you just realize
1:36:04
that, you know what, these people are just like
1:36:06
us. They are no different than the rest of us.
1:36:09
They just have their picture in the paper more
1:36:12
than we do, that's all. What is the key to having
1:36:15
a great interview, and what do some people do
1:36:18
wrong when these interviews go down south real
1:36:21
fast? Well, be informative. Ask them questions
1:36:24
that most people don't ask. I mean, we had one
1:36:27
of my favorite interviews was when we had Michael
1:36:32
Anthony from Van Halen on, and we started talking
1:36:36
about him as a kid, finding out more about him
1:36:40
as a human being. I mean, did you know that he
1:36:42
was a trumpet player? player in a marching band
1:36:44
no no that's the kind of stuff you know that
1:36:47
people want to know more about their celebs that
1:36:50
you don't see in the tabloids get uh get in there
1:36:55
and find out about Now, when it comes to interviews,
1:37:13
you guys are so nice to comedians, giving them
1:37:16
their big break. How does it feel that you guys
1:37:19
have helped launch so many radio careers for
1:37:22
comedians? Well, comedy is what we do and what
1:37:26
we enjoy. And the one thing that we enjoy just
1:37:29
as much as our listeners is we love a good laugh.
1:37:32
And if you're a good comedian, we'll have you
1:37:35
come on and hang with us. It's amazing. And then
1:37:42
how many comedians there are that are more like
1:37:46
actors who have memorized monologues and they
1:37:49
go out and do a 45 -minute show. The ones who
1:37:52
are truly funny, that are just naturally funny,
1:37:56
are the ones that we like hanging out with. And
1:37:59
they're usually the ones who go on to great success.
1:38:02
And again, the reason we have them on is because
1:38:05
we... Who are some of the best comics that you
1:38:18
guys have had on the Bob and Tom show? Well,
1:38:22
you go through George Lopez. We got George Lopez.
1:38:28
We started him when he was just a pup. We were
1:38:32
his first radio thing, and we had him on as a
1:38:36
regular. Both Tom and I were part of George's,
1:38:39
or I should say George was part of Tom's wedding.
1:38:42
George is an old friend, and he's become a huge
1:38:45
star. Tim Allen, some of my new favorites are
1:38:51
Tommy Johnigan, Chad Daniels, Jimmy Pardo. There
1:38:56
are just so many great people that are out there.
1:38:59
And we've had hundreds and hundreds of, I should
1:39:02
say, thousands of comics come through the doors,
1:39:04
and every one of them are brilliant. There are
1:39:08
a couple of exceptions, but we're very fortunate.
1:39:18
And most of them aren't even using their material
1:39:21
because they're just naturally funny people.
1:39:24
And it's a blast. I mean, again, it's all about
1:39:29
the laugh. And now, when did you guys begin putting
1:39:32
on live comedy shows? Oh, my. That would be more
1:39:38
of a question for Tom. He and some other folks
1:39:43
helped get that started. It might have been 10
1:39:50
years ago. Now, with all the comedians that you
1:39:53
guys feature at the show, how happy are they
1:39:56
when they find out that they're not going to
1:39:58
be at a comedy club for once and in front of
1:40:02
a live, large audience? Oh, well, for them, it's
1:40:06
tremendous because they don't have to work Friday
1:40:08
and Saturday instead of working Wednesday through
1:40:11
Sunday. So it's a two -city gig, and they're
1:40:15
in front of usually a sold -out crowd. So, yeah,
1:40:18
it makes them very happy to be part of it. So
1:40:21
now here is some big news for the Bob and Tom
1:40:24
show. You guys are going to be going into the
1:40:27
Radio Hall of Fame. When did you guys first find
1:40:31
out that you were going to be nominated? Well,
1:40:34
I didn't know I was nominated. I found out, believe
1:40:39
it or not, from a Twitter follower. I'm going,
1:40:44
what's this all about? that he had on his tweet,
1:40:51
this I'll be damned, I'm nominated for the Radio
1:40:55
Hall of Fame. I had no idea. And then when I
1:40:57
found that out, it was, I think, two or three
1:41:02
days later that it was confirmed that we were
1:41:04
indeed being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
1:41:08
So it's a real, it's still a real shocker. How
1:41:13
honored are you? Does this make all the work
1:41:16
that you guys have put in all these years, does
1:41:19
it just make it even more worth it? Well, yeah,
1:41:23
it's nice being recognized by your peers, and
1:41:26
it's still somewhat shocking. I mean, we're just
1:41:33
hanging out in the studio, yucking it up, and
1:41:37
all of a sudden now we're Hall of Famers. It's
1:41:40
kind of weird. Now, it won't be for a few more
1:41:44
months, but do you see you and Tom going to this
1:41:47
event? Yeah, it is next month. It's on the 5th
1:41:52
of November, and yeah, we are definitely attending.
1:41:55
Because that must be such an honor to have put
1:41:58
in all this work in radio, and they nominate
1:42:01
you into the Hall of Fame. Now, for kids like
1:42:04
me that are breaking into radio in 2015, what
1:42:08
is some advice you would have for us? Keep your
1:42:13
listener entertained. It is entertainment. That's
1:42:20
why people tune in. They love being entertained.
1:42:23
They love being informed. They love laughing.
1:42:25
They just want to know what's going on around
1:42:27
them. And if you can do that, in my opinion,
1:42:31
that's the recipe for a successful show. And
1:42:37
now, where do you see radio going the next 10
1:42:40
years? Because it has changed so much in the
1:42:43
last decade because of PPM, this and that. So
1:42:46
what is the future of radio and podcasts? Radio
1:42:51
and podcasts will be around forever. The one
1:42:56
thing about, I guess, broadcasting, it's kind
1:43:02
of like cable and satellite television now. There's
1:43:05
a thousand channels. Which one do you watch?
1:43:08
Yeah. I mean, now that there's, you know, there's
1:43:11
I don't know how many podcasts, ten thousands.
1:43:14
Which one do you listen to? And radio stations,
1:43:18
there's there's tens of thousands across the
1:43:22
country. Which one do you listen to? The one
1:43:25
you listen to is the one that entertains you
1:43:27
and you will eventually find it. There's a lot
1:43:30
to go through. But, you know, I mean, what's
1:43:32
your your favorite channel on? on Satellite Dish.
1:43:36
There's one that you always go to, and you'll
1:43:40
eventually find that broadcast entity that will
1:43:45
entertain. So there's always room for more, but
1:43:51
people weed out the bad ones and will find the
1:43:53
good ones. And now, how much longer do you see
1:43:57
yourself in radio doing the Bob and Tom show
1:44:00
each morning? I'll always be in radio. I'm getting
1:44:05
up in years. I don't know how much stronger my
1:44:07
body will take it, but I just don't know. Is
1:44:12
it one of those things where you're just going
1:44:14
to sort of play it by ear since you love doing
1:44:16
the show each morning? Yeah, probably. It's just
1:44:20
right now, I just hope I wake up every morning.
1:44:39
Well, uh, We are at BobandTom .com and on the
1:44:57
radio. There's too many to memorize, but our
1:45:01
mothership is WFBQ Q95 in Indianapolis. And now,
1:45:08
Bob, my ultimate goal is to be the next outspoken
1:45:12
person for my generation, and you guys are one
1:45:16
of my influences. So for you to even call into
1:45:20
my podcast is an absolute honor. So, Bob, thank
1:45:24
you so much for being on Hoppy Hour. It means
1:45:26
the world to me. Well, thanks, Ryan, for inviting
1:45:28
me, and great success to you and your future,
1:45:31
and radio is red hot. Thank you, Bob. Have a
1:45:36
good rest of the day. Bye -bye. And that was
1:45:39
Bob from the Bob and Tom show. I'm in awe that
1:45:44
he would even consider doing the interview. What
1:45:49
happened was I sent him a tweet. I sent a lot
1:45:52
of people tweets, celebrities, you know, big
1:45:55
time radio names. Like I've sent them to Howard.
1:45:58
And you don't even think there's a chance in
1:46:01
hell that they would even come on your show.
1:46:04
But when I saw Bob tweet at me, yeah. I would
1:46:08
love to. Let's make that happen. I can't explain
1:46:12
how pumped I was. and how much that meant to
1:46:15
me being a 22 -year -old trying to break into
1:46:19
this business, being a 22 -year -old that has
1:46:22
loved this business since I was in fourth grade.
1:46:25
I remember they were on 100 .7 in Joliet, Illinois.
1:46:30
But the thing was, I lived in the Chicagoland
1:46:32
area, and that's a different city in Illinois.
1:46:35
So I would barely pick up the reception on the
1:46:38
Bob and Tom show. But each morning that I listened
1:46:40
to it, I absolutely loved it. Also, I respect
1:46:45
the longevity and the classiness that they have
1:46:48
brought to radio and the fact that they never
1:46:51
resort to exploitation. or making fun of people.
1:46:55
The fact that he just wants to entertain people,
1:46:58
like he said, if it's someone working in an office
1:47:00
or if it's someone that's digging a ditch, that
1:47:04
he just wants to entertain them and to keep them
1:47:07
entertained each and every morning as they go
1:47:11
about their nine to five job. So the fact that
1:47:14
Bob would even come on the show means the world
1:47:17
to me. This has been Hoppy Hour. I am your host,
1:47:21
Ryan Hoppy. saying peace out. Hoppy Hour. Hoppy
1:47:26
Hour. This is an official broadcast of Hoppy
1:47:33
Radio. For more info, check out hoppyradio .com
1:47:35
and hoppysworld .com. Fun times in Cleveland
1:47:43
again. Still Cleveland. Come on down to Cleveland
1:47:48
Town, everyone. Under construction since 1868.
1:48:00
This guy has at least two DUIs. Flaps look like
1:48:04
a Scooby -Doo ghost town. Don't slow down in
1:48:07
East Cleveland or you'll die. Our economy's based
1:48:10
on LeBron James. Buy a house for the price of
1:48:14
a VCR. Our main export is crippling depression.
1:48:18
They used to harbor it here. Keep people from
1:48:29
looking at their own lives and realizing how
1:48:30
bad they actually got, you know? I mean, if you
1:48:36
couldn't get drunk and paint yourself orange
1:48:38
and brown every Sunday, you might realize, I
1:48:42
live in Cleveland. How the hell did this happen?
1:48:48
Did I used to eat beans? You look around at your
1:48:54
tiny little house that you can't afford because
1:48:55
of the mortgage crisis and your horrible little
1:48:57
sloppy kids who will have diabetes by the time
1:49:00
they're eight because they live on corn syrup
1:49:01
and lye. And then you look at your big bloated
1:49:05
mess of a wife and she waddles over to you with
1:49:07
her front butt spilling out over the top of her
1:49:09
ass and she's like, I'm going to go shoot myself
1:49:12
and my pregnant 12 -year -old daughter. Do you
1:49:20
regret anything that you said about Cleveland?
1:49:22
I just don't know. You think Cleveland's cool?
1:49:28
I mean, I never heard anybody say, I'm going
1:49:30
to Cleveland on vacation. What's so cool about
1:49:34
Cleveland? Cleveland sucks. Cleveland sucks.
1:50:04
Whether you're white, or black, or Sasquatch
1:50:08
even. As long as you follow your dreams, no matter
1:50:12
how crazy or against the law it is. Except for
1:50:15
Sasquatch. Because Sasquatch rules are different.
1:50:19
Forgetting me, what? I'm a circus freak. That's
1:50:22
all I'll ever be. Whatever. Finally, I'm one
1:50:26
of those guys who can't wait to get to work in
1:50:28
the morning. Like a dairy cow. Oh! Oh! So if
1:50:59
there's a few bucks left over, you know, go get
1:51:01
something nice. A little toning, six beers, this
1:51:21
whole f***ing fuck you ate a chicken. Dr. Quinn.
1:51:51
I just thought that was a nickname. You know,
1:51:54
like Dr. Gray. He's a stud. God, you're stupid.
1:52:03
God, you're stupid. Hey, shut your ass. What
1:52:08
is it now, Hooper? Have you turned on the TV
1:52:10
lately? No, why? We love sackflashers! Oh, it's
1:52:29
a sack -a -sack! Order now and get sackflashers,
1:52:32
too! Sacks in the city, with bonus material.
1:52:34
Beach balls! Woo -hoo! Hooray! First one. Call
1:52:40
us, get us free sackflashers, full sack. Operators
1:52:43
are standing by. You'll be nuts to pass up on
1:52:45
this offer. I mean, someone at church? In a nightlight
1:52:48
or something? Ooh! Now, that's a good... No,
1:52:55
not that specific. But why? That's how I met
1:52:58
your great -grandpappy. Oh, he loves him a good
1:53:01
butt hole. I told you not, never, ever, not,
1:53:03
no, damn, don't, never, verbulate that man's
1:53:05
name in the house again. I don't think you said
1:53:08
his name. Some of us were a little too busy paying
1:53:11
to exchange business cards. Don't you go Facebook
1:53:14
him on the iBox, neither. Sheriff says you race
1:53:17
him down hell down to the library. Yeah, you
1:53:19
know I did. You're going... No, you don't go
1:53:22
at all. A real live robot? Or is that some kind
1:53:30
of cheesy New Year's costume? Bite my shiny metal
1:53:34
ass. It doesn't look so shiny to me. Shiner than
1:53:38
yours, meatbag. Uh -huh. And that is that. Poppy
1:54:16
Hour. Poppy Hour. It's time for Poppy in the
1:54:24
morning. RyanHockeyRadio .com Poppy Hour will
1:54:31
be right back. You probably had Taco Bell before.
1:54:45

1:54:47

1:54:50

2:01:59
Oaks and Ryan Happy on Spotify by searching up
2:02:02
Hammerin, H -A -M -M -E -R -I -N Hank show, and
2:02:06
check it out on his podcast feed. People with
2:02:09
autism are often treated like they are different.
2:02:12
Believe me, we are. Hi, this is Henry Oaks, but
2:02:15
my buddies may have known me as Hammer and Hank.
2:02:18
I was labeled as slow when I started school.
2:02:21
Come to find out at age 12, the doctors decided
2:02:24
I was autistic. Now at the age of 48, I have
2:02:27
completed an associate's degree in radio broadcasting
2:02:30
and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area as an
2:02:33
on -air personality. So yes, I am different.
2:02:35
People of autism have no need, no different than
2:02:39
you. Laugh, laugh, love, and learn to gain education
2:02:43
and join the workforce. I did it, and so can
2:02:46
anyone else of autism. So when you meet someone
2:02:50
with autism... We got the remix, we got the flow
2:03:19

But coming to an end Like a rollercoaster stopping
2:10:58
While the rivers bend Hoppy's jokes and bad scenes
