  yeah. I got stamina. Stand by. Go deep. I'm trying.

  Buddy at Odyssey. Nothing but be nice to you.
• 4:53
  God, I probably shouldn't talk. The audience
• 5:12
  growth. Everyone's got a Mike Kaplan story. The
• 5:40
  Woody Show called him the showcase. I'm going
• 5:43
  to refrain from those. Whoever you don't think
• 5:49
  I know about you, Mike Kaplan, ain't a picture.
• 6:04
  I don't actually say it. Just quote me all you
• 6:12
  want. It'll be very easy to quote. Mike Kaplan
• 6:15
  is a video programmer that has ruined stations.
• 6:23
  Kissing the ass of shitty radio PD because he's
• 6:25
  mad at radio because he had no talent because
• 6:28
  he's a boring corporate idiot. Definitely fits
• 6:43
  the mold. Kaplan, have a good day. You do now
• 7:08
  with your private profile. How does it feel when
• 7:41
  a short to become maggot food. Your thorn is
• 8:21
  smooth as sound. Make everything safe. And she
• 14:34
  gets all up. Dare you be this big. What's she
• 14:55
  saying? Oh my god, did you see what Kelly Clarkson
• 15:08
  said on her show? I think she doesn't have her
• 15:53
  to that. Art titled In the Shit of Eight, Surviving
• 16:28
  the Reality. His mother has posted a cryptic
• 16:32
  series of TikTok. Plus eight alum writing, I
• 16:48
  know you already know this, but you support of
• 16:50
  so many. Only your seven precious children are
• 16:56
  so frustrated that my For You page is being flooded
• 16:59
  with such terrible lies. Nah, it's probably true.
• 17:01
  You're a typical noob. It should be illegal to
• 17:12
  defame someone that way. I just wanted to say
• 17:17
  you are doing a great job keeping your head up
• 17:20
  through all of this. We love you. To which Kate
• 17:23
  replies, thank you so much. I know rational,
• 17:26
  logical people or anyone who has dealt with mental
• 17:29
  illness understands what's going on here. Yeah,
• 17:31
  you're a sociopathic moron. You cannot think
• 17:35
  of enough adjectives, enough words. How awful
• 17:38
  you are. Encouraged and enabled by other dysfunctional
• 18:03
  and mentally ill people. Kate writes back, exactly.
• 18:10
  I had nothing to do with it. Because it was medically
• 18:20
  necessary. You're a psychopath. And the fact
• 18:25
  that your kids side with you, you're a moron.
• 18:29
  In the book, Colin, who is one of Kate and ex
• 18:31
  -husband John Gosselin's eight children, alleges
• 18:38
  that his mother was both verbally and physically
• 18:40
  abusive to him. She was so perfect. Look at her.
• 18:43
  She looks like a... Childhood. And Kate bound
• 18:48
  his wrists and ankles with zip ties after he
• 18:51
  attempted to escape from their home at age 11.
• 18:53
  I would want to escape, too, if that was my mom.
• 18:56
  Calling the book, I knew I was in trouble. I
• 18:58
  just didn't yet understand the shape that trouble
• 19:01
  would take. She came at me like a freight train.
• 19:03
  Well, thank God and, um, Flixie just has company.
• 19:25
  Look at all the celebrities they surround themselves
• 19:28
  with. For Christ's sake. You're basing your whole
• 19:35
  around. people that take off their shirts to
• 19:38
  be funny, and they've run out of one -liners,
• 19:40
  and they tell the same s*** house that it's fabricated,
• 19:44
  then you're not that good of a company. I'm sorry.
• 19:47
  No, that's rude. Netflix headquarters, the streamer
• 19:56
  is reportedly laying off a thousand employees.
• 20:05
  Alexa, what is the salary of the CEO of Netflix?
• 20:09
  Netflix's top execs are co -CEOs Ted Sarandos
• 20:12
  and Greg Peters. In 2025, each earned about $3
• 20:16
  million in base salary and roughly $53 million
• 20:19
  total compensation. All right, so they made...
• 20:21
  Alexa, stop. They made $53 million afford to
• 20:25
  keep the employees. You can't get better than
• 20:30
  everybody. Alexa, stop. Alexa, stop. Anybody
• 20:45
  to say workers in a product or team. Decisions
• 21:32
  like these are never... They just walk around
• 22:25
  like they're the man. Bears and Owls are on the
• 22:30
  Steve Dahl podcast. Say that Joe Buck. Dude,
• 22:35
  you guys are in the AARP club. You're a douche.
• 22:40
  Corey Aikman has been one of the NFL's top broadcasters
• 22:43
  for over two decades. That's what people do at
• 22:58
  the four -letter network known as ESPN. A million
• 23:19
  -dollar contract with ESPN. And, well, there
• 23:22
  were reports that there was not only tension
• 23:25
  with his longtime broadcasting partner, Joe Buck,
• 23:28
  but that it got sad that they actually got into
• 23:32
  a fight before the Monday night football game
• 23:34
  this week. What a bunch of babies. Now, why are
• 23:38
  they fighting? Well, $1 ,000 ,000 deal. Do the
• 23:54
  math, that's $18 ,000 ,000 a season. That is
• 23:57
  way. What he said. In fact, he alluded possibly
• 24:28
  being somewhere else next year. Very lucrative
• 24:43
  job. Five minutes or later. TV providers have
• 26:43
  put businesses in a very tough spot. Heidi Wigdahl's
• 26:55
  live. Not sports is supposed to be about the
• 27:19
  small people. Wild launched a multimedia television
• 28:31
  network called Wild Plus. The NHL is currently
• 28:35
  negotiating with Comcast and DirecTV over Wild
• 28:38
  Plus. The packages to broadcast live sports for
• 28:44
  Wild Game Crime video. They've been getting,
• 29:18
  is it clear? Cameras have been removed from campus
• 29:39
  at Elgin Community College. First had to put
• 29:46
  bags over those controversial cameras. Budget,
• 30:06
  so it makes everyone else have to pay. This candidate
• 30:11
  we have is Kelly Christ. Thank you. city staff,
• 30:46
  and they tell me that this passed unanimously
• 30:47
  this evening. As we were over here, we saw someone
• 30:51
  getting a parking ticket, but honestly... Yeah,
• 30:53
  you know, someone at the parking ticket meter
• 30:56
  can know those guys a lot. It's like being a
• 31:00
  mall. Good enough to be a cop. It's better that
• 31:06
  they got it now, because with this new measure,
• 31:08
  parking citations are going to be $15 higher.
• 31:12
  Oh, yeah. The jobs here are paying more. We met
• 31:18
  a man out here today. His name's Leroy Middleton.
• 31:21
  he was feeding the meter hearing about this and
• 31:23
  he was just thinking this just seems like another
• 31:25
  way every these days is feeling a little bit
• 31:28
  more expensive heels are doing well i mean i
• 31:37
  don't know how many more creative ways to come
• 31:40
  up with fine space x launch if you ever see something
• 32:18
  in the skies okay here's the deal we let go of
• 33:19
  our media we got him on the show later on it's
• 33:25
  an impromptu show you know i got nothing else
• 33:28
  to do that's what We finna do kill the radio.
• 35:23
  Starts in four. At least my hangover's gone.
• 36:19
  It's Hoppy Hour. I am your host, Ryan Hoppy.
• 36:22
  If you're a hater of me and you're listening
• 36:23
  to me, run across the room when I do that. I
• 36:29
  would too. Don't know how she deals with me.
• 36:31
  Let's begin the show with the Hopper Orchestra.
• 37:15
  Launching linguine and everybody slurping through
• 37:41
  the traffic report. Throwing out the ball. Beautiful
• 39:53
  St. Petersburg flow. A boat, a trip to date.
• 39:59
  Oh, jeez. It's unfair. Here's the deal. I feel
• 40:08
  bad. They were supposed to go on this whole boat
• 40:10
  trip and now it's like raining out in Florida.
• 40:12
  And I told them, I said this. This is what the
• 40:21
  weather was all about. Absolute rain. We might
• 40:31
  be getting a steak dinner or something. It is
• 40:34
  funny because a lot of people visit Florida and
• 40:38
  like, it's like the perception that you just
• 40:40
  have all the free time in the world. But it's
• 40:43
  like, nah, we're up here grinding and we're also
• 40:46
  happy. And it was so funny. Last night I had
• 40:52
  a friend come over and we smoked A few J's. I
• 40:55
  worked with him. He wanted to stay anonymous,
• 40:58
  but I worked with him at Cox Media Group, and
• 41:02
  it was very funny. I hadn't seen him in forever,
• 41:05
  and he's a good friend. But a friend of about
• 41:08
  10 years. And the funny part was he couldn't
• 41:14
  find my parking, because my parking lot's huge.
• 41:17
  And I'm walking down, and I'm like, one second,
• 41:21
  one second, I'll come get you, one second. And
• 41:23
  you know what it reminded me of? It reminded
• 41:26
  me of whenever I've had a girl come over and
• 41:28
  we got our rocks off and I got laid, you know?
• 41:32
  And there's a conversation, no, no, no, no, no,
• 41:34
  park here, where it says, no, no, no, no, park
• 41:36
  over here, no, park over here. And this time,
• 41:40
  instead of getting a blowjob, I hung out with
• 41:43
  a friend who I would not want a blowjob from.
• 41:46
  I don't think he'd want to give me one. Man,
• 41:50
  it was good telling the war stories of Cox Media
• 41:53
  Group. Heard that there are freaking ghosts down
• 41:57
  there. Oh, it is. This whole last three days,
• 42:05
  I often go, man. And when people want to hang
• 42:11
  out with me, I'm like, I'm busy. Thursday, I
• 42:15
  hung out with my friend Jamie. Oh, my friend's
• 42:29
  from high school. My mom's going over. That's
• 42:33
  a big lifestyle adjustment. Apartment. Flex the
• 42:49
  apartment a little warmer. I like it cold. You
• 42:51
  know, so. It's good to see my mom. Instagram
• 42:56
  pages are talking about. Sorry you didn't have
• 42:59
  a good mom. I don't know for sure, but I think
• 43:02
  Mike Kelta is feeding them stuff about my mom.
• 43:04
  And this is the same family, man. Mike Kelta,
• 43:09
  so. I was hearing some stories about him. I ain't
• 43:15
  gonna say it, but man, he gets around. Without
• 43:19
  his wife. Bill Derrick's wife says she'll be
• 43:24
  on house arrest when he comes. Oh, she'll be
• 43:27
  sucking him off every minute. Y 'all think that
• 43:31
  she's gonna treat that next man better. Yeah,
• 43:34
  this is a video about all she does is talk smack
• 43:39
  about relationships. Oh, that'll be you. No,
• 43:48
  sir. No, she's not. Yeah, you really got to pay
• 43:53
  attention to how they talk about things. If it's
• 43:56
  never their fault, run for it. If she was going
• 44:01
  to treat someone well, it would have been your
• 44:03
  ass. But you know what? The next guy's going
• 44:06
  to get the same treatment. Oh, yeah, and I'll
• 44:08
  be going, I got a guy. Comments from people that
• 44:16
  knew Mike Kaplan from my over -the -top segment
• 44:18
  yesterday. Everybody wanted to be anonymous.
• 44:21
  Everyone's afraid of these radio. I'm not afraid.
• 44:23
  I don't care. If you're going to come at me on
• 44:25
  social media, I'll come at you, bitch. I've been
• 44:30
  nice to somebody. There's nothing worse than
• 44:34
  a corporate coward. Especially when they almost
• 44:37
  ruined radio. Or might have already. Talking
• 44:48
  about that legendary Jason Love scene. Photo
• 44:50
  shoot. I'm going to look good. This, this, that.
• 44:52
  I had all this shit in my head of what I was
• 44:54
  going to do to prepare. I'm getting excited.
• 44:56
  It's Saturday and I'm about to play poker tournaments
• 44:59
  on Sunday. So I'm, yeah, you know, he's got a
• 45:01
  good poker face because Adam 22 is a sociopath.
• 45:05
  I'm excited for that. And then Saturday morning,
• 45:07
  we're going to get breakfast and you're like,
• 45:08
  hey, Jason is in town. I might shoot that scene
• 45:11
  tomorrow. And I'm like, huh? Okay. Yeah, it was
• 45:14
  awkward. My sister was there. She's like, I don't
• 45:16
  want to be here for this conversation. Yeah,
• 45:18
  I want to hear about my sister being a promiscuous
• 45:20
  woman. Okay. They're a weird ass couple, Doug.
• 45:24
  And so, yeah, I don't know. Continue. I mean,
• 45:28
  and then we. Got a poke turn in there and my
• 45:31
  wife's getting poked right now. Just walked away.
• 45:36
  I was like, I think I'm going to shoot with Jason
• 45:37
  tomorrow. And you were like, okay. And I walked
• 45:39
  away. I went to wash the dishes or something.
• 45:40
  And then I come back and you're just like, no
• 45:42
  facial, no kissing. Okay. Yeah. Why put it on
• 45:46
  your face or your butt when you almost knock
• 45:48
  off my lunch? What happened? I was like the extent
• 45:53
  of the conversation. Right. All right. There
• 45:55
  you go. Delightful marriage. She had her natural
• 46:02
  beauty. when she was on Good Morning Football.
• 46:04
  She was a hottie. You don't need that plastic
• 46:12
  surgery, babe. I would love to see these hot
• 46:16
  ass reporters just age naturally. That's all
• 46:19
  I want. Here she is giving advice about the talking
• 46:23
  stage with a girl. I know it's daunting to put
• 46:26
  yourself in a position to get rejected, but it's
• 46:29
  just what you're going to have to do. I've been
• 46:34
  rejected, man. Mom said she was always proud
• 46:36
  of me for asking out every cheerleader in high
• 46:39
  school because finally I kind of got my rocks
• 46:41
  off in life. Well, she wasn't proud of me for
• 46:43
  that, but. There's no way to, like, bubble wrap
• 46:45
  it for you and have some, like, magic. You got
• 46:48
  to wrap it with a condom. And she might say she
• 46:52
  doesn't want to go to dinner with you, but ask
• 46:53
  her to say. Oh, yeah, you know, okay, I'm just
• 46:56
  saying that she's an expensive date when she's
• 47:00
  talking about dinner. You would really like to
• 47:02
  see her and spend time with her and that you
• 47:04
  have feelings for her. Alexa, where is Kay Adams,
• 47:09
  the NFL reporter? Where was she born? Kay Adams
• 47:15
  is an American sportscaster who grew up in Chicago,
• 47:18
  Illinois. Wow, she got a Chicago accent. Alexa,
• 47:21
  stop. It was funny last night when my friend
• 47:23
  was over. He's like, man, your Alexa's pretty
• 47:25
  annoying. Alexa, did you know last night that
• 47:28
  my friend thought you were annoying? Nope, I'm
• 47:31
  just hearing about it now. Alexa, stop. She doesn't
• 47:36
  want to go to dinner with you, but ask her to
• 47:37
  dinner. Say you would really like to see her
• 47:40
  and spend time with her. Right. Here's 50 Cent
• 47:43
  on why rappers date each other's exes. No. My
• 47:47
  partner's got a habit of dealing with people
• 47:49
  that have previously dealt with somebody. He
• 47:53
  likes to get behind somebody. Oh, yeah. He likes
• 47:59
  someone getting behind him. Information of you
• 48:03
  hot because this person is enamored by you when
• 48:06
  they used to do it with somebody else. I'm not
• 48:09
  going to say only rappers do it, but it seems
• 48:11
  like everyone's asking about brothers and they're
• 48:13
  all asking about sex. Like, in the rap community,
• 48:17
  a lot of people do that shit. Yeah, why is that?
• 48:19
  Bunch of sluts. Is it just so you can say that?
• 48:22
  I don't know if that's just the motivation, but
• 48:25
  they are excited by women that have been around
• 48:28
  someone else. Because it validates them. Andrew
• 48:31
  Schultz is so much better without that annoying
• 48:34
  cuss. Women killed Chevrolet, not men, because
• 48:38
  you were... I want to know if Jebediah Byleth
• 48:41
  is hot as a woman and was made fun of in high
• 48:43
  school because she seems to hate women more than
• 48:44
  Andrew Tate. unappreciative of male chivalry
• 48:47
  for a long time and told guys you didn't need
• 48:49
  them for a long time and now you're all hitting
• 48:52
  the wall because there was that movement in like
• 48:54
  the 2010s where hot ass girls wanted guys that
• 48:58
  are now 50 but now they're hitting the wall and
• 49:01
  they ignored everyone their age. Right? There
• 49:06
  is a secondary argument here to be had about
• 49:09
  men in cities being less gentlemanly and this
• 49:12
  is true. Alright, I don't even know what that
• 49:14
  means. You're the southern boy. wife this is
• 49:24
  a future uh mother and someone's daughter oh
• 49:31
  yeah i'm disgusting what's going on here three
• 49:51
  signs she wants you and most men miss these signs
• 49:54
  completely but after this you'll know exactly
• 49:55
  what to look for if you want deeper answers you
• 49:57
  can always book a call link in bio i don't give
• 50:00
  a fucking shit about the link in the bio number
• 50:03
  one if she's playing with her hair and her body
• 50:05
  language is oriented towards you this could oh
• 50:07
  yeah she starts touching you a little bit It's
• 50:11
  so good. Look like looking directly at you, but
• 50:14
  it could also look like her feet and her shoulders
• 50:16
  are just positioned toward. Well, yeah, she got
• 50:18
  her legs up and trying to get ready for later
• 50:22
  on for the best five minutes of her life. Does
• 50:26
  Elon Musk have a breathing kink? If you like
• 50:29
  this video, check out the link in my file. No
• 50:33
  one cares, honey. At the link at the top of my
• 50:36
  page. Quick definition. A breathing kink is when
• 50:39
  you get turned on by the fantasy of impregnation.
• 50:42
  Sex fantasy. I'm making it sound classy. You're
• 50:45
  talking about sex fantasy. What are you even
• 50:48
  saying? Specific idea of reproducing. So it's
• 50:52
  not just... Idea. I love when you say that. You
• 50:54
  want to have children or that you generally enjoy
• 50:57
  the feeling of sleeping with someone. It's when
• 50:59
  very specifically the idea of making a baby is
• 51:02
  the title. Regardless... Regardless whatever.
• 51:05
  There you go. Katie Zachariah has been fired
• 51:11
  as the White House press secretary after just...
• 51:14
  Five days on the job. The reported firing comes
• 51:17
  just minutes that President Trump suggested that
• 51:19
  Zachariah might be better off without the job,
• 51:22
  telling reporters she'd been treated very, very
• 51:24
  badly by the media. All right, there you go.
• 51:27
  She got let go. Well, John says it's a medical
• 51:36
  reason why he always wears, uh, got his unknown.
• 51:41
  Oh, yeah, that's right. Glasses because of a
• 51:45
  medical condition. And there was a shooting in
• 51:47
  Oregon, and the mom said her son was a good kid.
• 51:52
  That is debatable. All right, looking at all
• 51:54
  this prep. Up next is Eddie Volkman. So we're
• 51:59
  going to play a song, come back from break, play
• 52:02
  a bunch of Eddie Volkman, Eddie and Jobo stuff,
• 52:05
  and podcast appearance. Since being let go by
• 52:13
  formerly star 96 .7, the 96 .7 in Chicago of
• 52:18
  Common Sewer Media, Eddie Volkman will be on
• 52:21
  Happy Hour very soon. You know what I'm saying?
• 52:23
  I pressed the wrong button there, my bad. But
• 52:26
  you know what? I embrace the imperfections. Some
• 52:28
  radio DJs would freak out, but I don't know.
• 52:30
  Whatever. We'll be dead soon. The hour will be
• 52:49
  right back. You probably had Taco Bell before.
• 52:51
  And you can see that with Barack, Michelle as
• 53:02
  well. They do a lot of touching, kissing, even
• 53:06
  fisting. And it looks like you went and got a
• 53:21
  on the iPad screen, whatever the case might be
• 53:25
  in your hand and a sock, you know, whatever.
• 53:27
  Like, thank you. But also I would love to be
• 53:30
  getting railed, but. Use bucket loads of lube.
• 53:33
  If you think you have enough lube, double it.
• 53:35
  As a reminder, if you don't feel like listening
• 53:37
  to this next song, you can skip over it. But
• 53:40
  Ryan Hoppy of Hoppy Hour takes pride in his selection,
• 53:43
  so stick around, folks. Oh, yeah. Let me press
• 53:45
  this button right here. For this is a psycho
• 59:29
  shower. If you're new to the show, this is where
• 59:31
  you actually splash somebody that has trouble
• 59:33
  waking up. They're in a hot, bubbly shower this
• 59:36
  morning. Yeah, they're just all lathering up
• 59:37
  in there thinking, oh, how toasty. You come in
• 59:40
  with this obnoxious, freezing, ice -cold bucket
• 59:43
  of water and splash the unsuspecting victim.
• 59:46
  It's called a reality. Who just walked in? Oh,
• 1:00:30
  heights, it's 80. Listen, I have a concert. Dave
• 1:04:06
  Walkman. Right now on Happy Hour with Ryan Happy.
• 1:04:11
  Ring, ring, ring. I already can't get the phone
• 1:04:13
  right now, so. Seems like his phone calls. I
• 1:04:23
  already can't get the phone. All the fake prank
• 1:04:27
  calls. It might. Let me see here. While we do
• 1:04:41
  that. What's up, Betty? I've been recording for
• 1:05:00
  31 minutes so far. But what's funny is this is
• 1:05:03
  proof that the prank calls that you would hear
• 1:05:05
  on the radio nowadays are fake. Because I reached
• 1:05:08
  out to you twice and you didn't answer. But it's
• 1:05:11
  so funny how when you listen to these morning
• 1:05:12
  shows, how it's so convenient that they pick
• 1:05:15
  up after one ring at 7 a .m. Yeah. Oh, I know.
• 1:05:19
  I know. And, you know, we even knew that that
• 1:05:22
  was an FCC violation. But I should say. Well,
• 1:05:26
  we knew, but Jobo went ahead and did it anyway.
• 1:05:28
  I don't think I would have ever tried it. But
• 1:05:31
  he was, you know, the rules were not for him,
• 1:05:33
  you know. And I told you I had that installed,
• 1:05:39
  like, years ago that I can't get rid of. Unless
• 1:05:42
  it knows the number, it won't even ring, which
• 1:05:45
  is stupid. Because, you know, I give out my number
• 1:05:47
  and my business card to people, and they want
• 1:05:50
  to call me for the first time. And I have to
• 1:05:53
  wait and see if they leave a voicemail, which
• 1:05:55
  nobody does anymore. You know, everybody texts.
• 1:05:58
  Well, here's the thing. Well, first of all, we
• 1:06:00
  have Eddie Volkman from the legendary Eddie and
• 1:06:03
  Jobo on Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy. Well, why
• 1:06:07
  don't you get a new phone? Because it's an app
• 1:06:13
  that's like, I did get a new phone not too long
• 1:06:15
  ago. Oh, really? But it's an app that when you
• 1:06:17
  transfer all your apps, it's secretly down in
• 1:06:20
  there. You know, it would take five minutes with
• 1:06:22
  somebody that knows phones, but you know, it's
• 1:06:28
  crazy. Do you ever miss the era? Because my first
• 1:06:31
  phone was an iPhone when I turned 18. So do you
• 1:06:36
  ever miss your era, like when you were on B96,
• 1:06:38
  where you guys had, like, Nextel or flip phones
• 1:06:42
  or BlackBerry? Do you remember, do you miss how
• 1:06:45
  easy it was for you guys? It was cool. It was
• 1:06:54
  already cool. The held carry -around phones hadn't
• 1:07:00
  been, you know, hadn't been modified, you know,
• 1:07:03
  the way they are now. I had the one that had
• 1:07:07
  the cord attached with a handset in the car.
• 1:07:11
  But, you know, that was before they made it.
• 1:07:13
  you'll be holding a handset. So, yeah, I'd be
• 1:07:16
  one of those cool guys driving along holding
• 1:07:18
  a handset in my right hand and my left hand on
• 1:07:23
  the steering wheel. You know, but that, and it
• 1:07:26
  was, and you had, for like 50 miles, and you
• 1:07:31
  had to use up your minutes and all that. It was
• 1:07:33
  a crazy time. Would you ever call Jobo after
• 1:07:36
  the show when you were driving home? Oh, all
• 1:07:40
  the time. All the time. Like, we'd be listening
• 1:07:43
  to like, the score with Mike North and Dan Jiggets.
• 1:07:46
  We'd both be listening because we're just like
• 1:07:48
  sports guys. Um, and back to Northbrook and he
• 1:07:55
  lived in Wheeling and we're like, basically like
• 1:07:58
  one in front of the other. And I said something
• 1:08:03
  about, Hey, Mike, Mike North, Jobo's said, blah,
• 1:08:09
  blah, blah. And you know how feisty Mike North
• 1:08:11
  is. He goes, you tell Jobo anytime he wants to
• 1:08:14
  mix it up out there. You know? And so, uh, I'm
• 1:08:18
  looking over at Joe and he's listening and I
• 1:08:21
  can tell he's listening because he starts laughing
• 1:08:22
  because it was like, yeah, good old Mike. It's
• 1:08:26
  funny. Never backing down. Yeah, I think he unfriended
• 1:08:29
  me. I'm not a very political guy, but I think
• 1:08:32
  I shared some anti -Trump funny thing, maybe
• 1:08:35
  one of his gaffes or something, and I checked
• 1:08:38
  and we weren't friends and I was like, that's
• 1:08:40
  probably why. He loves his Trump. I love Mike
• 1:08:45
  North. I grew up listening to him. I heard it
• 1:08:47
  that day he won at it with Ozzie Guillen. But
• 1:08:49
  it's just funny, like, these guys care about
• 1:08:53
  Trump. But I'm not trying to trash Mike. It's
• 1:08:55
  just funny. Yeah, but I said yesterday, well,
• 1:09:00
  see, the day I got let go from my job at the...
• 1:09:06
  Common sewer media, like you said. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:09
  The day that happened, Ramblin' Ray called and
• 1:09:15
  said, hey, I'm going to be doing some vacation
• 1:09:17
  coming up here. That sounds more like man cow.
• 1:09:21
  he said, I'm going to be doing some vacation
• 1:09:23
  coming up. I'd love for you to fill in for me.
• 1:09:25
  I said, sure, the big 89 WLS. And I said, but
• 1:09:29
  I don't want to talk politics because I just,
• 1:09:31
  you know, I don't like doing that. I'm the, I'm
• 1:09:33
  the Metallica of radio people. So, but then after
• 1:09:38
  he told me that and we didn't set anything up,
• 1:09:41
  but then afternoon from two to three on WCPT.
• 1:09:50
  Oh, nice. AM 820. And that's like, You know,
• 1:09:56
  that's more like left -wing politics. And I said,
• 1:09:59
  same thing there. I'm staying in my lane, which
• 1:10:02
  is no lane, because that's not my job. I'm there
• 1:10:07
  to make booger jokes and play my arm. Kind of
• 1:10:11
  interned at CPT when Dance Factory was in the
• 1:10:14
  same building. And that, to me, is a little bizarre.
• 1:10:18
  They would air Alan Combs at night, and they
• 1:10:20
  had some weekend shows that weren't too political.
• 1:10:23
  So to me, that's a little more your vibe, you
• 1:10:26
  know? Yeah, well, I've already got a couple of
• 1:10:29
  guests lined up. I'm hosting on Black Friday
• 1:10:32
  in the evening. You know, there's a lot of diseases
• 1:10:40
  that have awareness months. And most of them
• 1:10:44
  we're pretty aware of are breast cancer, prostate
• 1:10:47
  cancer. But I had never heard of ALK, which is
• 1:10:51
  a form of lung cancer. And I thought, well, there's
• 1:10:53
  something that actually needs awareness awareness.
• 1:10:56
  I mean, every cause is good. The guy that asked
• 1:11:01
  me to do it, lost his sister to this rare disease.
• 1:11:05
  So they're, you know, doing all they can because,
• 1:11:08
  you know, fundraising dollars are hard to come
• 1:11:09
  by. Yeah. And most people are going to give to
• 1:11:11
  the, the big causes, you know, the big bright
• 1:11:14
  ones. So, so, uh, here's what I want to, how
• 1:11:18
  did everything go down with you getting let go
• 1:11:20
  by common sewer media? I love that word. Oh,
• 1:11:24
  you, you picked up on that. I saw, I saw your
• 1:11:28
  post and it's just typical Eddie V punniness.
• 1:11:30
  I love it. Well, and I, you know, I'm, Still
• 1:11:34
  good friends with a lot of people there. But
• 1:11:36
  I have to get my little jabs in. I'm not going
• 1:11:39
  to roll over. But I was just on the air. See,
• 1:11:43
  when my friends like Childers, who a lot of people
• 1:11:46
  know from WLS, he was Rich Scott on the Eddie
• 1:11:50
  and Jobo show doing traffic. But because he was
• 1:11:53
  on the show, he was like anybody else. Jobo would
• 1:11:55
  pull him into anything. Let me ask you something,
• 1:11:59
  Rich. Have you ever seen people from your vantage
• 1:12:02
  point up in the Hancock? Can you actually see
• 1:12:04
  if people are having sex in a port -a -potties
• 1:12:07
  along the Kennedy? Oh, Jobo. I said, oh, Jobo.
• 1:12:16
  Yeah, I know, I know. And so to me, he's every
• 1:12:21
  radio guy. Todd Bosco, who was kind of a local
• 1:12:34
  legend out that way, as a country guy, and before
• 1:12:38
  him, Roy Gregory. So I thought, if these people
• 1:12:41
  who have been out here forever, then anybody's
• 1:12:45
  on the block. true because radio is just, you
• 1:12:49
  know, and I noticed not a lot of local advertising.
• 1:12:53
  Most everything is a zip recruiter and network
• 1:12:57
  spot. And you only, they call those a dollar
• 1:13:00
  holler because the network gets like very little,
• 1:13:02
  like seven bucks a commercial or something. And
• 1:13:05
  I don't quote me on that, but it's something
• 1:13:07
  ridiculously low and that's not enough to keep
• 1:13:09
  a station going. So the whole thing when they
• 1:13:13
  took over connoisseur was been stations like
• 1:13:23
  suburban stations around New York. Not actual
• 1:13:26
  competing with the big downtown New York stations,
• 1:13:30
  but, you know, taller counties and all around.
• 1:13:33
  And by being, what they said, live and local.
• 1:13:36
  And they said, that's what we're going to bring
• 1:13:37
  back. Live, local, and out in the community and
• 1:13:40
  all that. They kind of designed the whole station
• 1:13:44
  format, R96 .7 to 967, to play from back in the
• 1:13:53
  day, from like when I was on V96. And some of
• 1:13:56
  the alternative stuff. Q101 was rocking. And
• 1:14:00
  so it wasn't perfect and everything was going
• 1:14:02
  well. But then this decision came down and Gordon
• 1:14:06
  Mays, the program director, he just sat there
• 1:14:09
  quietly because I know it wasn't his idea. Because
• 1:14:12
  it was his idea to do the... Poor guy, since
• 1:14:18
  he's gotten there, he's the program director
• 1:14:20
  of the river. Their tower got blown down. Oh,
• 1:14:24
  yeah, yeah, yeah. And the 967 WSSR transmitter
• 1:14:28
  has been on auxiliary transmitter at like 78
• 1:14:32
  % power for like... Well, November, I think,
• 1:14:35
  will be three years. And no end in sight. So
• 1:14:38
  he's got one hurdle after another. And the guy's
• 1:14:41
  so good with people. And he's got a bunch of
• 1:14:44
  great ideas. But it's like playing some video
• 1:14:49
  game where another wall pops up just when you
• 1:14:51
  got past the bunch of balls. What did your wife
• 1:14:55
  and kids say about it? My wife was like, well,
• 1:15:00
  are you serious? Had gotten a raise in like 20
• 1:15:18
  years. So whatever you signed up for, that's
• 1:15:21
  what you're going to be paid. And what I'm saying
• 1:15:26
  is, I could live without it. I think they didn't,
• 1:15:29
  like you lost your job. I get money in the radio
• 1:15:37
  station all the time. And that was nice to have
• 1:15:44
  that. And now I'm going through all the pain
• 1:15:45
  of the insurance and all that. It's nice to have
• 1:15:49
  company insurance, you know. Now, was it, I remember
• 1:15:54
  I had this radio job. I was working at Salem
• 1:15:56
  Media in Tampa. My first full -time job and I
• 1:15:59
  was so excited, but their insurance was dreadful.
• 1:16:02
  I couldn't see my shrink anymore. My meds went
• 1:16:04
  up, and then it was $200 out of each paycheck.
• 1:16:07
  So was it taking it out of your paycheck, or
• 1:16:09
  was it good insurance? It was taken out of the
• 1:16:13
  paycheck, so I didn't really notice how much
• 1:16:15
  it was. Okay, yeah, yeah. But it was a pretty
• 1:16:18
  good chunk when you got to pay it yourself. You
• 1:16:20
  know, if I take it right out, it's like, if you
• 1:16:27
  don't know, you're thinking it's that check,
• 1:16:32
  then you never really know. For COBRA, like,
• 1:16:37
  who can do that? I noticed in my paycheck, because
• 1:16:42
  it was pretty good, I joined this job in November
• 1:16:45
  three years ago. And for the first two months,
• 1:16:48
  I was on Obamacare and my paycheck was good.
• 1:16:50
  And then come January when I signed up, I was
• 1:16:53
  like, why is it a lot less? And I was like, oh,
• 1:16:56
  because there was every paycheck. So that's why
• 1:16:59
  sometimes it's kind of overrated being full -time
• 1:17:03
  because it's like then you got to pay for all
• 1:17:05
  those things, you know? Yeah, I don't even know.
• 1:17:12
  I'd have to go back in the pay core and see how
• 1:17:15
  much... was actually being taken out for medical,
• 1:17:17
  but it was worth it. And my wife and daughter
• 1:17:20
  and I all go to the same dentist, and it was
• 1:17:25
  covered under, like, whatever, MetLife or something.
• 1:17:27
  So, yeah, when you get it on your own, it's like,
• 1:17:30
  oh. Does this stuff cost money? Yeah, right?
• 1:17:33
  When did you move to Indiana? I did not know
• 1:17:37
  you lived in Indiana when I hung out with you
• 1:17:39
  at that B96 party like a year and a half ago.
• 1:17:42
  Oh, yeah, probably. Okay. working town station
• 1:17:56
  anymore i wasn't on radio teaching it in school
• 1:18:03
  i commuted night each way 80 miles every day
• 1:18:20
  just to work but he said i love doing it you
• 1:18:23
  know it's fun uh and there's not a lot of radio
• 1:18:26
  jobs available and now there's even fewer than
• 1:18:28
  there were then yeah i um i went to ims well
• 1:18:31
  i went when it was icb and uh i went to the one
• 1:18:34
  in line i wanted to add uh Man, did it make me
• 1:18:38
  a pro at Adobe Audition. I learned everything
• 1:18:41
  about Adobe there. Yeah, in fact, when I first
• 1:18:45
  started teaching there, I was not real adept
• 1:18:48
  at it. In the Eddie and Jobo days, when they
• 1:18:52
  were at the board, but we had a man on the board
• 1:18:55
  right in front of us. Another producer on the
• 1:18:58
  other side was handling the phone screener in
• 1:19:03
  another room. Seven people. You guys come up
• 1:19:11
  with all that. I go, it was a total team effort.
• 1:19:14
  And I did what I could when we started getting
• 1:19:16
  paid. way more than everybody else in the radio
• 1:19:19
  station. I tried to do what I could, like getting
• 1:19:22
  them concert tickets or, you know, taking them
• 1:19:24
  out to dinner or even just buying some sandwiches
• 1:19:27
  for the staff meetings. Yeah. Because, you know,
• 1:19:30
  because people are going to, you know, if your
• 1:19:33
  pay is that much drastically different than other
• 1:19:36
  people, there's going to be some professional
• 1:19:38
  jealousy, no matter how nice you are to people,
• 1:19:41
  you know, and it's human nature. Well, I forgot,
• 1:19:45
  and you might not even want to say the name,
• 1:19:46
  but didn't you say there was somebody you worked
• 1:19:48
  with, you were on vacation with, and you reached
• 1:19:51
  out to them? You tell me a lot of stories whenever
• 1:19:54
  we talk. There was somebody that worked at CBS
• 1:19:57
  Radio that you were in Hawaii, and you were listening
• 1:20:01
  on the app when it first came out, and they were
• 1:20:03
  like, you have no touch with reality? Oh, yeah,
• 1:20:07
  yeah, yeah. I was a certain sports leader who's
• 1:20:10
  not on the radio now. The one that loves his
• 1:20:13
  last name. I was like, well, it was cool to listen
• 1:20:16
  to like, it started at 7 a .m. when you're in
• 1:20:25
  Hawaii. Yeah. You know, in fact, we went on our
• 1:20:28
  honeymoon, really tired, and we were sleeping
• 1:20:35
  in the next morning, and flick on the TV, and
• 1:20:39
  I did a show in Hawaii, and it was on at 7 a
• 1:20:46
  .m., you know, in this big luxurious honeymoon
• 1:20:48
  suite. I'm going, okay, okay. Let me get some
• 1:20:52
  mimosas up in here. About the Bears, I didn't
• 1:21:00
  know much about Badgett, but when he played against,
• 1:21:04
  whatever team it was when, what's his name, got
• 1:21:07
  hurt, Caleb, he was absolutely dreadful. And
• 1:21:10
  then they put in Casey Keenum and he killed it.
• 1:21:13
  And I had no idea why they went back to Badger.
• 1:21:17
  And what's the overall vibe in Chicago? Because
• 1:21:20
  what I did notice, I'm not going to say, but
• 1:21:22
  there's some major publications and radio hosts
• 1:21:24
  that are like friends with him. There's like,
• 1:21:28
  they've hung out with him and his dad. There
• 1:21:30
  seems to be some kind of like bias towards him
• 1:21:33
  in Chicago. Do you think that's true? Towards
• 1:21:36
  which one? Badgent over Casey. Oh, well, you
• 1:21:41
  know, the coach, Bears coach, Ben, said, yeah,
• 1:21:47
  he was good enough to start 32 quarterbacks in
• 1:21:54
  the league. And one game, he looked really good
• 1:21:58
  at that. Yeah, he looked okay. But last week,
• 1:22:01
  it was just, oh, man, more turnovers than popping
• 1:22:04
  fresh. It's like we were just throwing the ball
• 1:22:08
  to the other team. It was ridiculous. I listened
• 1:22:10
  to, yeah, I listened to... Yeah, but now... Now
• 1:22:14
  everybody's just like, we live back. That's all
• 1:22:17
  we need to know. The thing is, I listened to
• 1:22:22
  Jason Goff, and he was saying that Tyson was
• 1:22:27
  playing like he's one of the best in the league
• 1:22:29
  and that he needed to do shorter passes. I think
• 1:22:34
  he got his confidence up because everyone's saying,
• 1:22:37
  oh, he can start on most NFL teams. And for the
• 1:22:41
  one game he came in, he looked pretty good. And
• 1:22:44
  then in Kay's keynote, maybe give him another
• 1:22:53
  chance. In fact, didn't they, I think the coach,
• 1:22:55
  Started him the next game for just one play.
• 1:22:58
  Yeah, that was dumb. Like to reward him. Yeah.
• 1:23:01
  For being so good. But if Caleb's good to go
• 1:23:07
  and nobody's hurt, he'll probably get picked
• 1:23:10
  up by somebody. Well, do you know... He's got
• 1:23:11
  to be dreadful quarterback. Do you know that...
• 1:23:14
  I'm not a big stats guy, but I looked this up.
• 1:23:18
  You know Casey Keenum as a backup and sometimes
• 1:23:21
  playing as a starter in his 14 years? He has
• 1:23:25
  more passing yards than Justin Phillips and Mitch
• 1:23:28
  Trubisky had in their life. Yeah, you know, it's
• 1:23:31
  funny that it's like some of these guys, compared
• 1:23:36
  to radio, I know a guy that's an intern, but
• 1:23:46
  then got hired. He was like mid -days. And 10
• 1:23:49
  years after he was still there, you know, full
• 1:23:53
  -time, I'm like an intern. I've been there. As
• 1:24:09
  long as you do the Bears, it's like, oh, that's
• 1:24:10
  cute. You had a nice game. You being generous,
• 1:24:22
  being nice to people, why do you think you're
• 1:24:27
  one of the only, and I'm going to kiss your ass
• 1:24:29
  a little bit. why do you think you're one of
• 1:24:31
  the only legendary people in radio to be nice?
• 1:24:35
  I'm not saying others aren't nice, but the overall
• 1:24:38
  vibe is always that for as successful and ginormous
• 1:24:41
  of a figure as you are, that you're just an everyday
• 1:24:45
  guy. Why do you think others in radio don't follow
• 1:24:48
  your lead of treating people that are technically
• 1:24:52
  under you nice? It might be the nature of the
• 1:24:57
  type of people that specifically want to be the
• 1:25:05
  of a bit of like narcissism. And one guy once
• 1:25:09
  told me you're not enough of a hole. It's kind
• 1:25:14
  of a compliment. But at the time, you know, when
• 1:25:18
  I first got to Chicago, I did my cheesy, corny,
• 1:25:21
  kind of fun, folksy humor and stuff up against
• 1:25:24
  Brandmeier and Barsky and Murphy in the morning.
• 1:25:27
  And all those guys had an edge to them, a chip
• 1:25:31
  on their shoulder. Even Jobo, I sometimes told
• 1:25:35
  people he was my designated told what to do.
• 1:25:46
  And I mean, his way is what works. So I just
• 1:25:54
  let him plow the way, and then I surfed in the
• 1:25:58
  wake. Funny stuff. Well, I met him once when
• 1:26:07
  you guys were doing a UAI appearance in, like,
• 1:26:11
  2013. That was that time I first met you. And
• 1:26:14
  he was kind of quiet, but he was nice to me.
• 1:26:17
  But, like, I feel like you were kind of a defender
• 1:26:20
  of him a little bit. Yeah, you know what? He
• 1:26:24
  had his close circle of friends, you know, with
• 1:26:36
  listeners and stuff. And that microphone was
• 1:26:44
  his escape. And sometimes he would say something
• 1:26:47
  on the air. Like one time, we used to do these
• 1:26:53
  commercials for Vermont Teddy Bear. Did I ever
• 1:26:55
  tell you this story? No. I did? No. No, you did
• 1:27:00
  not. I've never heard this one. Live commercials
• 1:27:05
  for Vermont Teddy Bear. Vermont Teddy Bear is
• 1:27:14
  in Chicago. Howard Stern did, and he did live
• 1:27:16
  commercials for them too, nationwide. Now, his
• 1:27:20
  audience might not be the teddy bear type buying
• 1:27:23
  people. And, you know, we had more, like, loved
• 1:27:33
  us so much, the company, that they sent us a
• 1:27:35
  six -foot -tall Vermont teddy bear, fully functional
• 1:27:39
  with the moving arms and all this. It was, like,
• 1:27:40
  tremendous. But we thought, what are we going
• 1:27:43
  to do with this? We both had, you know, small
• 1:27:45
  apartments downtown. Before we got, you know,
• 1:27:48
  both moved into a bigger condo building, our
• 1:27:52
  producer at the time said, why don't we take
• 1:27:55
  it over to Harpo Studios and tell it, this is
• 1:27:58
  for Oprah, do a charity. or something. It's a
• 1:28:04
  great idea. So we, our producer went over and
• 1:28:06
  drove it and left it on the depths of Harpo's
• 1:28:10
  studio town. And, um, Mr. Steven, you ever call
• 1:28:21
  me, Jobo? She said, yes, I did. Thank you so
• 1:28:43
  much. It's going to go to great. He goes, we've
• 1:28:47
  been trying to get you on the air for, for years.
• 1:28:49
  And she goes, well, Jobo, maybe you knock off
• 1:28:52
  the fat jokes. And he recoiled from his microphone.
• 1:28:55
  He was saying it to his face and he put his fingers
• 1:28:59
  up like the scared. fingernails to the mouth
• 1:29:02
  thing. And I'm looking at him going, I'm one
• 1:29:05
  of the top stations in Chicago. She's a woman.
• 1:29:08
  And at the time, she was maybe 40. I go, she's
• 1:29:11
  right in our demographic. You don't think she
• 1:29:13
  hears what you're saying on the radio? Because
• 1:29:17
  he thinks he's like, he was safe back in his
• 1:29:19
  little, that was just an example of how he threw
• 1:29:29
  this bubble like that, Oprah. When I say something
• 1:29:32
  on the air, I turn off the mic and I can get
• 1:29:35
  away. I mean, what was like the moment, the like
• 1:29:42
  jobo set like when were you the most mad about
• 1:29:45
  i mean besides the lawsuit like were there other
• 1:29:47
  moments where you were like why did you just
• 1:29:50
  say that you know what i mean yeah sometimes
• 1:29:53
  you uh that i would you know but i never really
• 1:29:57
  got thought you know you really got to think
• 1:30:02
  about what you're saying here like uh when they
• 1:30:04
  found michael jordan's father shot on the side
• 1:30:09
  of the road yeah care in hand broke in and said
• 1:30:12
  it was jeffrey jordan or was that his name i
• 1:30:15
  think is that was it They've confirmed that that
• 1:30:20
  was Jeffrey Jordan that was found shot on the
• 1:30:23
  side of the road in Jehovah's without getting
• 1:30:29
  caught up with him. And people that shot him
• 1:30:37
  didn't know it was Michael Jordan's dad. You
• 1:30:39
  know, honor among thieves. I bet they would not
• 1:30:42
  have done anything had they known, but you never
• 1:30:45
  know. But the fact that he said that, I was like,
• 1:30:47
  dude, what are you doing? Not only, first of
• 1:30:51
  all, setting yourself up for a lawsuit, but,
• 1:30:53
  you know, find out the facts first. But even
• 1:30:56
  that is, you know. I was always like, well, Jobo's
• 1:30:59
  Jobo. He doesn't tell me how to write my parody
• 1:31:02
  songs or how to do much. So I'm not going to
• 1:31:06
  tell him how to be Jobo. And some people thought
• 1:31:12
  it was like a years -long falling out. It was
• 1:31:15
  offered like over a million dollars each to go
• 1:31:18
  on WLS. Dave Fogle, that job was offered to us.
• 1:31:29
  But I love Dave, so that's cool. And Kim, because
• 1:31:37
  I thought, I'll do this. And then he changed
• 1:31:40
  his mind again. And he went back and forth so
• 1:31:44
  often that I finally, I said, oh, I can't wait
• 1:31:46
  anymore. I got to, you know, I got to sell this
• 1:31:48
  condo. It's not, I can't keep paying for something
• 1:31:51
  if I'm not making that kind of money. And so
• 1:31:54
  that kind of got screwy. And especially when
• 1:31:56
  I said, well, I'll do it if he doesn't want to.
• 1:31:58
  Well, thanks a lot. People thinking we had a
• 1:32:17
  moment that wasn't anything like that. Well,
• 1:32:21
  even on Dahl's podcast, he said he was kind of
• 1:32:24
  envious about how you guys were I don't want
• 1:32:28
  to misquote him, but I listened to his show the
• 1:32:30
  day after Jobo died. And he even kind of gave
• 1:32:33
  you guys a shout out in a way for like making
• 1:32:36
  up, you know. Well, he was like conversations
• 1:32:43
  because I wanted to repost them. I just talked
• 1:32:59
  yesterday. I thought I downloaded everything
• 1:33:03
  onto some stuff there because I want to keep
• 1:33:08
  that forever because of, you know, last earthly
• 1:33:11
  conversation I had with him. Like when you guys
• 1:33:16
  would like. not get along and then make up, would
• 1:33:19
  you guys like grab a beer and talk it out? Or
• 1:33:21
  was it just kind of like the next day you kind
• 1:33:23
  of get over it, you know? Never, nothing even
• 1:33:27
  lasted that long. But we really didn't disagree
• 1:33:38
  because before we even started the show, I know
• 1:33:46
  what Eddie, why we worked well. He goes, we both
• 1:33:54
  do what the other, but just the way he said things
• 1:34:07
  made him funny. But I was the comedian and he
• 1:34:10
  was the patter jock and then he, and he, and
• 1:34:13
  the troublemaker, you know? So, We had all the
• 1:34:16
  elements we needed. I think one of the... Yeah,
• 1:34:19
  I think one of the things is that you guys had
• 1:34:24
  to do the show with your boss in the room, right?
• 1:34:26
  It took a few months, actually. Oh, really? And
• 1:34:31
  one week it was the general manager after getting...
• 1:34:36
  So when they rehired us, we thought, we can't
• 1:34:58
  let these idiots just... It's almost like early
• 1:35:03
  voice tracking because the only way to record
• 1:35:05
  something back then was still on reel -to -reel
• 1:35:07
  tape. So we would record each break. Oh, you
• 1:35:11
  know... just during the song before it aired.
• 1:35:14
  And if we screwed up something, nothing would
• 1:35:17
  run. We were going through all that, and all
• 1:35:39
  that scandal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was sometimes
• 1:35:43
  news. When the program director was in there,
• 1:35:49
  the next week, you know, they'd alternate, and
• 1:35:52
  the general manager would have to get up, because
• 1:35:53
  they were finding out it was no fun to wake up
• 1:35:56
  at that hour. The general manager was in there.
• 1:36:01
  It's R. Kelly tape. It's been circulated around.
• 1:36:04
  And he'd go, no, cut that out. And he'd go, no,
• 1:36:07
  cut that out. front page they'll proven guilty
• 1:36:21
  and we're like what but so it was schizophrenic
• 1:36:25
  because we'd be all over it one week and then
• 1:36:27
  the next week it was like the story didn't exist
• 1:36:29
  so that was a little weird really didn't last
• 1:36:33
  that long because they they got tired of waking
• 1:36:35
  up that early and they also realized we weren't
• 1:36:37
  the total idiots they thought we were but you
• 1:36:40
  know of course you know they had to back because
• 1:36:47
  they were told their jobs if we screwed up one
• 1:36:50
  little thing that they were all fired So there
• 1:36:53
  was self -preservation, so. What's your relationship
• 1:36:56
  like with guys like Brad Meyer, Dahl, Mankow,
• 1:37:00
  like all the other guys from that era? Do you
• 1:37:01
  talk to any of them? I do. Not specifically,
• 1:37:06
  and I've seen Steve Dahl talking to him, and
• 1:37:16
  we took a couple pictures. I'll send you, I'll
• 1:37:19
  show you the one. And the next day on the air,
• 1:37:21
  and he goes, I just want to be able to wear tight
• 1:37:23
  shirts like Eddie and Jobo do. Ha, ha, ha. And
• 1:37:28
  now he's, you know, he's gone through a lot of...
• 1:37:42
  He looks great for his age, though. You know
• 1:37:43
  what I mean? He actually kind of looks like my...
• 1:37:48
  They start to look like their grandpa or whatever,
• 1:37:59
  but people seem to look like... Like Scott McKay
• 1:38:03
  looks like my brother Ron. Send you pictures
• 1:38:06
  of all this stuff so you can check it out when
• 1:38:09
  we're done, but... What do you call it? Oh, and
• 1:38:12
  then, like, Man Cow? Yeah. He's a different bird.
• 1:38:16
  He is. He'll, like, he'll text me a Bible verse
• 1:38:19
  at 3 a .m. on a Thursday. And then I won't hear
• 1:38:22
  from him for a month via video of a girl in like
• 1:38:27
  a dental floss bikini riding a Walmart horse.
• 1:38:31
  Just out of nowhere. No caption, no explanation.
• 1:38:35
  Oh, he's the best. He's a maniac. Doesn't surprise
• 1:38:38
  you at all, right? No, because that's literally
• 1:38:41
  his social media. It's like one week it's like
• 1:38:43
  religion and the next week it's like barely clothed
• 1:38:46
  women. It's weird. Yeah, right. I talked to all
• 1:38:52
  of them. I was just talking to somebody else
• 1:38:54
  a few days ago about it. Once we moved into Prudential
• 1:38:58
  2 and then everybody was in that building, Steve
• 1:39:01
  Dahl, XRT, The Score, all that. Rather walk up
• 1:39:08
  nine flights of stairs than run into another
• 1:39:10
  radio person in the elevator at 4 a .m. I was
• 1:39:14
  like, we're all in this together. But that's
• 1:39:16
  how he thought. It was always competition. He
• 1:39:19
  was up against everybody. I'm not like that because
• 1:39:23
  I don't want to see people, but I'll do that
• 1:39:25
  in my job. I'll walk up the side door because
• 1:39:27
  I don't want to talk at 4 a .m. if I'm helping
• 1:39:29
  out a morning show. Yeah. Well, like, what was
• 1:39:33
  that song that, Window to the Wall? Yeah. It
• 1:39:36
  sounded like, I said, let me hear it. I go, doesn't
• 1:39:39
  it sound like he's saying, no, Steve, Steve,
• 1:39:41
  Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, no! And go. And it
• 1:39:45
  did sound like that, but Jobo just hushed that
• 1:39:47
  up and moved on very quickly because I mentioned
• 1:39:50
  another radio person's name. It's not even the
• 1:39:53
  same demographic, though. I don't think Dahl's
• 1:39:55
  listeners... I know, it's like, they're not going
• 1:39:56
  to go floppy and go, oh yeah, why am I listening
• 1:39:58
  to Eddie and Jobo and Steve Dahl's on? But, you
• 1:40:01
  know. What about Brandmeier? I had an interview
• 1:40:03
  with his producer. I didn't get the internship.
• 1:40:07
  But he was let go from WGN like four months later.
• 1:40:10
  And then I got a year and a half with Lewis,
• 1:40:12
  too, live at Dance Factory. So it was kind of
• 1:40:14
  meant to be. But I did get to meet Johnny B.
• 1:40:17
  And he kept repeatedly punching me in the arm
• 1:40:19
  and said, let's box. Let's box right now. You
• 1:40:22
  want a picture? You got to box me first. It was
• 1:40:24
  just very fascinating. Yeah, I didn't fire a
• 1:40:31
  lot. But when I did see him, I was going on the
• 1:40:35
  up escalator. at Water Tower Place, and he was
• 1:40:39
  coming down. And I was like, hey, Johnny D. And
• 1:40:42
  he's like, how you doing? You know, kind of like
• 1:40:46
  that Jeff Hoover, the way Jeff Hoover does Jogo.
• 1:40:49
  Like, hey, all that manic, frantic stuff. And
• 1:40:52
  I was like, dude, we're not on the air now, are
• 1:40:54
  we? Are you doing a remote? I mean, everybody's
• 1:41:00
  different, but one of the biggest compliments
• 1:41:02
  people give me is like, Well, you're the same
• 1:41:05
  guy on and off the air. And I go, what else should
• 1:41:07
  I be? That's the whole thing about radio these
• 1:41:11
  days. You used to be the superstar jock, and
• 1:41:14
  you had to keep up a persona. Actually, then
• 1:41:21
  we took the Viper, and we parked it out in front
• 1:41:23
  of the M -Club. You took a limo everywhere, his
• 1:41:30
  big classic Cadillac convertible, whatever. And
• 1:41:33
  the days of the superstar jocks. You know, Brandmeier
• 1:41:36
  selling out Poplar Creek, Steve Dolan, Teenage
• 1:41:39
  Radiation, Comiskey Park, all that. But these
• 1:41:42
  days, it's more like they want to hear somebody
• 1:41:44
  who's got a bratty teenage daughter like you
• 1:41:48
  do. Or somebody, their water bill was too high.
• 1:41:54
  Because if they want to idolize somebody, you've
• 1:41:57
  got a million influencers now. I tell her, they
• 1:42:04
  used to have like groupies waiting outside nightclubs
• 1:42:06
  for us. I don't think I've ever heard her laugh
• 1:42:09
  that loud. What is it like having a teenage daughter
• 1:42:13
  now? It's crazy. I've had them before, but because
• 1:42:17
  of divorce, they didn't go through their teen
• 1:42:19
  years with me. That is happening. I just like
• 1:42:26
  to say, thank God I have a wife. She basically,
• 1:42:29
  she takes care of everything as far as that.
• 1:42:33
  It's like, you know, classes and stuff. My daughter's
• 1:42:36
  had nothing but straight A's since she started
• 1:42:38
  getting grades. But that's totally, I probably
• 1:42:42
  could have gotten, Most times have better things
• 1:42:49
  to do. Like radio. About this, about how people
• 1:43:04
  that are older now, the new Nogging Boogers records
• 1:43:15
  coming out. No, radio had it. Eight o 'clock
• 1:43:20
  on Friday night and we'll be the only station
• 1:43:22
  to play it. And it's brand new and you can't
• 1:43:24
  hear it anywhere else. You can't buy it yet.
• 1:43:26
  You can't stream it. And then we're going to
• 1:43:28
  put it all weekend until you hate it by Tuesday.
• 1:43:30
  But seriously, we had that kind of power, which,
• 1:43:34
  you know, liver status is... You know, the DJ,
• 1:43:38
  gonna play that song for you. Old days, it's
• 1:43:45
  like, with my daughter, it's like, favorite song
• 1:43:49
  right here. I hate that I don't listen to, I
• 1:43:56
  force myself in Tampa when I'm driving around
• 1:43:59
  to listen, because I feel like if I only listen
• 1:44:02
  to Spotify, then it's like, not like why am I
• 1:44:05
  working in radio, but it's kind of a weird feeling.
• 1:44:08
  It's very hard to explain. Oh, but the true,
• 1:44:11
  you know, and they've even, you know, services
• 1:44:19
  are even, as it turns out, that's the only thing
• 1:44:26
  that, you know, makes one show more special than
• 1:44:29
  others. One show in terms of him, so I'm a little
• 1:44:34
  biased, but the one show that does have Eddie
• 1:44:37
  and Jobo energy and he hasn't changed since he's
• 1:44:40
  gotten ginormous is Fred. I adore Fred. To me,
• 1:44:46
  it's like swim again and she's got like 5 a .m.
• 1:44:52
  to wake up and so I was listening to early Fred
• 1:45:02
  because obviously I never got to hear a lot of
• 1:45:04
  morning shows and I just texted him because we
• 1:45:08
  all have each other's numbers and stuff. I texted
• 1:45:11
  him, and then he went on this whole big thing
• 1:45:14
  on the air about thanking me for listening and
• 1:45:16
  saying when he was growing up, he never thought
• 1:45:18
  that I would be listening. And then a big rant
• 1:45:21
  about how Eddie and Jobo should be in the— I
• 1:45:28
  mean, coming from you, and he's syndicated all
• 1:45:30
  over. And he's telling this to people in, you
• 1:45:33
  know, Bangor, Maine. It's good to have friends.
• 1:45:39
  Like I said, we're all in this same business,
• 1:45:41
  and, like, we can kind of laugh at the— That's
• 1:45:43
  why when I got let go, it was like, you're not
• 1:45:45
  the first, Eddie. Don't— No self -pity here.
• 1:45:49
  You know, it doesn't matter what I've done in
• 1:45:52
  the past. I go, how about you of all people?
• 1:45:54
  I go, now, what have I done for you lately? Maybe
• 1:45:56
  I had a crappy show the day before. I deserve
• 1:45:59
  to be let go. It drove me nuts. When I sat in
• 1:46:02
  on your show, it drove me nuts how little they
• 1:46:05
  let you talk. Oh, it made me mad. Purpose, because
• 1:46:12
  the nature of it, you know, even one of the bosses
• 1:46:15
  said, when he put me in hand in the afternoon,
• 1:46:17
  he goes, it'll be like a morning show, but in
• 1:46:19
  the afternoon. And I go. you think nobody's tried
• 1:46:22
  this before? And then came down the road, they
• 1:46:25
  go, it's just too much in the afternoon to have
• 1:46:27
  two people. I go, oh, really? And you didn't
• 1:46:29
  know this when you came up with that idea? But,
• 1:46:32
  you know, I kind of knew it. And I even talked
• 1:46:35
  to some of those diehard listeners, and they
• 1:46:38
  said, oh, you know, I used to love you guys in
• 1:46:41
  the morning, but in the afternoon, I'm busy by
• 1:46:43
  then, and I don't have as much time to pay attention.
• 1:46:46
  And I go, that's called afternoon drive. So I
• 1:46:49
  wasn't feeling... Yeah. I know what you're talking
• 1:47:39
  about. Like, really? Like, you really didn't
• 1:47:44
  have anything. You did not know what you were
• 1:47:46
  going to talk about when you opened this microphone.
• 1:47:49
  And that's lazy radio, you know. For another
• 1:47:53
  job in radio, would you take it? It would depend
• 1:47:57
  on what it was. Actively looking, but I'm more
• 1:48:02
  than happy to fill in on these shows and stuff.
• 1:48:05
  Like, when Jobo, I was going to have him on once
• 1:48:08
  a week before he passed away. But that was perfect
• 1:48:13
  for him. He didn't need to leave the house. I
• 1:48:15
  caught him when he was at his... Does he ever
• 1:48:22
  send you the tape of that? I got to get it and
• 1:48:25
  play it for you. When he said, but here's how
• 1:48:26
  my day goes. I wake up at 2 a .m. and do show
• 1:48:29
  prep for a show I'm not going to do. He goes,
• 1:48:31
  I mess around with that until Walmart opens at
• 1:48:34
  6 a .m. I go there and buy 27 things I don't
• 1:48:38
  need. And then I go to the gaming bar and do
• 1:48:43
  $300. Then at 11 a .m. I go to my AA class. That's
• 1:48:55
  what I mean. He wasn't making that a joke, but
• 1:48:57
  it's just hilarious. He goes to the gaming bar
• 1:49:00
  and does fireball shots and goes to his AA class.
• 1:49:03
  Well, at least he went, right? Dude, what's funny
• 1:49:06
  is I have two Jobo memories. I loved his Amazon
• 1:49:10
  package of the day. The first day, I think it
• 1:49:13
  was 2020, when weed got legalized, he just posted
• 1:49:17
  all this marijuana that he bought and all these
• 1:49:21
  former bosses. Everybody was outraged by it.
• 1:49:24
  It was hilarious. It's funny because he always
• 1:49:27
  said he could not stop. smoke weed, because people
• 1:49:32
  had tried to use him. The Cleveland leather bars
• 1:49:35
  and stuff back in the 80s. But when he tried,
• 1:49:41
  he said he just got paranoid. And I know that
• 1:49:43
  happens to some people. So he took the route
• 1:49:47
  of... Unfortunately. Although he never got really...
• 1:49:51
  I'm stoned right now, Eddie. You don't sound...
• 1:49:57
  You know how to keep it together. I'm functional.
• 1:49:59
  A functional stoner. I am. A functional stoner.
• 1:50:01
  You know, it's funny. My son, Dallas, that I
• 1:50:05
  think looks like a... shorter version of you.
• 1:50:07
  Yeah. Not anymore so much. But he was passing
• 1:50:11
  through town and I just was able to catch up
• 1:50:14
  with him at like the Giordano's by Midway. Yeah.
• 1:50:17
  And so we're sitting there and he goes, I want
• 1:50:20
  to take a shot with my dad. And I go, Jumbo and
• 1:50:23
  I always said, let's do a shot. But if you want
• 1:50:25
  to take a shot. Yeah. Some people say. So anyway,
• 1:50:28
  we did. And then he said, Dad, I got to tell
• 1:50:31
  you something. I'm a major stoner. He goes, no,
• 1:50:36
  major stoner. I go, no. You're bartending? at
• 1:50:40
  a ski lodge in Utah at age 33? A stoner, too?
• 1:50:47
  Wow! How did that happen? He moved to Florida.
• 1:50:52
  He was a bartender and a stoner. Where? Baltimore
• 1:50:54
  Palm Trees. Where's he at? What town? It's right
• 1:51:02
  near Fort Lauderdale. Okay. He had a daughter
• 1:51:07
  at Ohio State for half years. It was like political
• 1:51:27
  science. He tried to go to pre -law. And I guess
• 1:51:30
  he graduated but didn't go to law school or whatever.
• 1:51:34
  And now, you know, 10 years later, she's in college.
• 1:51:39
  Of course. I told you I was going to be multitasking.
• 1:51:49
  You're good. Of course he threw an intersection.
• 1:51:51
  So he moved because his roommate in Utah, back
• 1:51:59
  to Phoenix, so he moved in with his sister. And
• 1:52:02
  it's like 25. I'm like, okay, so you're Wild
• 1:52:07
  Oats, you know, Hakeem. You know, 33 and still
• 1:52:11
  not really doing anything. And the guy had so
• 1:52:14
  much ability. I watched him in a little league
• 1:52:18
  game. I couldn't go to all the games because
• 1:52:19
  he was in Phoenix. But when I did fly out there,
• 1:52:22
  I watched him strike out the side on nine pitches,
• 1:52:25
  throw a guy out from right field, throw a guy
• 1:52:27
  out at home plate from center field, and hit
• 1:52:30
  two doubles in a home run. I'm like, dude, if
• 1:52:32
  I have to pay a dime for college for you. Yeah.
• 1:52:36
  He was so stoned, he never made it to college.
• 1:52:42
  I was the same way. I went to Harper, and then
• 1:52:44
  I went to ICB, and then I moved to Cleveland.
• 1:52:46
  So I never really went to college. Yeah, but
• 1:52:49
  you know what? These days, it looks like the
• 1:52:51
  smarter move with all the student loan debt.
• 1:52:53
  My daughter's already picking out colleges, and
• 1:52:57
  I'm like, well, do you know what you want to
• 1:52:58
  do? Maybe you can do something. I mean, a college
• 1:53:03
  degree is still valuable, but no one's ever asked
• 1:53:06
  to see mine in radio. Double dropped out of high
• 1:53:09
  school at 15, went to three different colleges,
• 1:53:13
  the same paycheck to the dime, to the penny.
• 1:53:20
  Beef, I'll let you go. I've heard this story,
• 1:53:23
  but I got to hear it again. Working at Tampa
• 1:53:26
  Bay Radio, everybody here, it's a household name,
• 1:53:29
  the four words, Bubba the Love Sponge. Everybody
• 1:53:32
  in Tampa knows who he is. I got to hear the Weight
• 1:53:34
  Watchers story again. Please tell me. Oh, yeah,
• 1:53:38
  yeah, yeah. Well, you know, if you're a personality
• 1:53:41
  on the radio, you get endorsed up. And so Bubba,
• 1:53:45
  lose some weight, and we had a Weight Watchers
• 1:53:48
  advertiser. You know, their franchises and stuff.
• 1:53:51
  So, you know, they give you your week's worth
• 1:53:55
  of food. Once a week, you go pick it up, or in
• 1:53:58
  his case, I think they had it delivered to the
• 1:53:59
  station. And he ate the whole week's worth of
• 1:54:03
  food in the first day. First day, I'm skinnier.
• 1:54:11
  Michelob Ultra. I go, oh, that's the good stuff.
• 1:54:13
  I've seen the billboards. You get like six -pack
• 1:54:15
  abs from that. Yeah, right. He offered me a job,
• 1:54:22
  and I said no, and then he got very mad. So that
• 1:54:25
  was very weird. Oh, Bubba. Well, at least you
• 1:54:28
  were tall enough you couldn't get the ear flick.
• 1:54:30
  the ear pinch thing that he loved doing to people.
• 1:54:33
  What are you doing? Unless he got on a ladder
• 1:54:35
  and got up and did that. He did that to somebody
• 1:54:36
  at my station at B96 when he worked there. And
• 1:54:40
  they were like, God, I can't stop him. Oh, man.
• 1:54:46
  He is a fascinating Tampa legend, dude. I just
• 1:54:52
  became friends with some woman that works on
• 1:54:56
  his show. My LinkedIn, I wanted to change it
• 1:55:00
  because it said mornings on WSSR again. So I
• 1:55:04
  thought, I need to change it. But when I did,
• 1:55:07
  it looks like I lost all my contacts or maybe
• 1:55:10
  I created a new page or something. I don't know.
• 1:55:13
  But whatever it is, I started re -adding people
• 1:55:17
  frantically. And one person, I thought, this
• 1:55:19
  name seems familiar. And I looked at her thing
• 1:55:21
  and it said, work on the Bubba the Loves Fun
• 1:55:24
  show. And I was like, oh, okay. Follow up to
• 1:55:30
  text you a bunch of crap after this. Yeah. What
• 1:55:33
  do you call it? Before I let you go. Do you have
• 1:55:36
  any final words? Can you believe we've been talking
• 1:55:38
  for 51 minutes? Oh, it's very easy. I'll sit
• 1:55:44
  down with Jeffrey T. Mason. We went to a bar
• 1:55:46
  once. We were six hours. Oh, he is so underrated.
• 1:55:54
  I remember that name. Yeah, he's just a guy that
• 1:56:00
  could fit on any station. It's because they're
• 1:56:07
  intimidated by his knowledge and his enthusiasm.
• 1:56:11
  We're only going to let you talk like four breaks
• 1:56:13
  an hour. You seem so excited. Maybe we could
• 1:56:17
  just get a dollar holler person down the street.
• 1:56:21
  Good old corporate radio. Good old corporations,
• 1:56:24
  right? Yep, yep. Well, Eddie, this has been an
• 1:56:28
  absolute blast having you on Hoppy Hour. I began
• 1:56:31
  the show by playing a few clips off of YouTube
• 1:56:34
  from the CD, and then I'm going to end by playing
• 1:56:37
  my two appearances on your show two years ago,
• 1:56:40
  which I still think about. It's so weird how
• 1:56:43
  it was National Radio Day, and I was in town,
• 1:56:46
  and I was on your show. Oh, yeah. It's very,
• 1:56:48
  very fitting. Very fitting. Yeah. Crazy. Well,
• 1:56:53
  cool. Well, I'm here anytime, man. And I have
• 1:56:57
  four more hours available a day now. That's awesome.
• 1:57:00
  By the way, before I let you go, I got to let
• 1:57:03
  you know, I'm going to be in Chicago the 23rd
• 1:57:06
  through the 30th of December. Oh, 23rd through
• 1:57:10
  what? 30th. Because I didn't want to be at the
• 1:57:13
  airport. I didn't want to be at the airport on
• 1:57:15
  Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. So I chose 23rd
• 1:57:18
  to 30th. I may be guest hosting on some stations
• 1:57:25
  by then. Who knows? Well, Eddie, this has been
• 1:57:28
  a blast having you on Hoppy Hour. Thank you,
• 1:57:30
  bro. Yeah, Hoppy Saturday. Yes, sir. Thank you,
• 1:57:34
  Eddie. All right. Talk to you later. Bye -bye.
• 1:57:37
  Bye -bye. Man, that was surreal. If you would
• 1:57:40
  have told me in 2004 through 8 that I would be
• 1:57:44
  friends with Eddie, I wouldn't believe it. And
• 1:57:46
  here is my appearance from his show two years
• 1:57:49
  ago. Right now. I should probably do the thing
• 1:57:55
  called unmute YouTube. That might help. So how's
• 1:58:26
  your day going? We're happy around here because
• 1:58:27
  it's National Radio Day, and what a perfect day
• 1:58:29
  to get a visit from one of my buddies in the
• 1:58:31
  business. I don't know if you've been in the
• 1:58:33
  business as long as I have because you're much
• 1:58:35
  younger, but you've been in it a while. Welcome,
• 1:58:37
  Ryan Hoppe. What's up, Betty? Yeah, I'm visiting
• 1:58:41
  from Tampa. You are the reason I'm in radio.
• 1:58:43
  Get out of here. I saw your billboard with Jobo
• 1:58:46
  where you guys were posing all wacky in 2004.
• 1:58:49
  With underwear or shooting rubber bands or whatever.
• 1:58:52
  Something like that. Haha. And the next morning
• 1:58:54
  I listened, and I used to skip school to listen
• 1:58:56
  to you guys all morning. People tell us that.
• 1:58:59
  That's an honor. That's boring. Yeah, but it's
• 1:59:01
  National Radio Day, and you've been on radio
• 1:59:04
  with some big names. Yeah, I've worked with a
• 1:59:06
  morning show in Cleveland and a morning show
• 1:59:09
  in Tampa, and now I'm actually syndicated. I
• 1:59:11
  host Hoppy Hour, which can be found by searching
• 1:59:13
  H -O -P -P -E radio, and it's on from Podcast
• 1:59:15
  Radio in Tampa, and that's been super cool. So
• 1:59:18
  now I'm my own boss because I've always worked
• 1:59:20
  with people, but now I'm doing my thing. I mentioned
• 1:59:23
  to you that you kind of resemble my son, right?
• 1:59:25
  Yeah, I think you said that, Dallas. My son,
• 1:59:27
  Dallas. But you are, how tall are you? 6 '9".
• 1:59:29
  6 '9". And I just found out today he's wearing
• 1:59:32
  his size 18... James Harden shoes. James Harden.
• 1:59:37
  We're lucky to get the guy in the door. But anyway,
• 1:59:40
  so how's it in Tampa? One of my buddies runs
• 1:59:42
  the InfoTours bus down there. It's cool. It's
• 1:59:47
  very high. I've been able to kind of like stand
• 1:59:49
  outside when I've been in Illinois. Because if
• 1:59:51
  you go outside for five minutes in Florida, you
• 1:59:54
  are sweating. Oh, yeah. Well, and the last few
• 1:59:57
  days have been great around here. It's been amazing.
• 1:59:59
  I've had so much fun. I've had pizza. I've had
• 2:00:02
  food. It's been amazing. Yeah, you come back
• 2:00:03
  and you do all these things. Where'd you go to
• 2:00:06
  high school? I went to John Hersey High School
• 2:00:07
  on Arlington Heights. Hersey. Oh, yeah. Brown
• 2:00:09
  and gold, right? Brown and orange. Brown and
• 2:00:12
  orange. Just like the Cleveland Browns. Principal
• 2:00:14
  was a Browns fan when they were good 70 years
• 2:00:16
  ago. Oh, okay. So we had Browns colors. Hersey
• 2:00:19
  Huskies. That's right. We occasionally played
• 2:00:22
  them when I was at Maine North. So anyway. Well,
• 2:00:25
  I hope you're going to have some fun sitting
• 2:00:27
  on the show. Oh, of course. Tell your friends
• 2:00:29
  and take some selfies and stuff. Yes, sir. You
• 2:00:32
  can give me a few tips. Show the old dog how
• 2:00:34
  to do some stuff. I got you. You're probably
• 2:00:37
  good at... with the latest technology and all
• 2:00:39
  that kind of stuff, too, right? Yeah, but there's,
• 2:00:41
  like, some things recently I've been, like, learning.
• 2:00:43
  Like, I don't know much about AI, and a lot of
• 2:00:46
  my friends are, like, nerds in Florida, and they've
• 2:00:48
  been teaching me, and it's freaky. It's going
• 2:00:50
  to take all our jobs, not just radio. I mean,
• 2:00:52
  pretty soon. And then they'll come and kill us,
• 2:00:54
  you know, like Terminator. Anyway, did you fly
• 2:00:57
  up here? Yeah, I don't fit in the airplane. I'm
• 2:01:00
  6 '9", and my legs are squished. Oh, no. Yeah.
• 2:01:04
  Let me ask you this. You remember, did the pilot
• 2:01:07
  have a beard? No, he did not. They usually don't.
• 2:01:10
  You know why? Why? I'll tell you coming up. That's
• 2:01:13
  a radio tease on National Radio Day. Welcome
• 2:01:16
  to the show. We're going to have some fun. Stick
• 2:01:18
  around. Well, all right, all right, all right.
• 2:01:20
  It's Eddie Volkman on Star. Time to head home
• 2:01:23
  here. It's a little cooler today. One good thing
• 2:01:26
  I like about the cooler weather is the bugs start
• 2:01:28
  to go away. Although this wasn't overly buggy
• 2:01:31
  summer. By the way, it's National Radio Day.
• 2:01:34
  and throughout the show, I've been sitting here
• 2:01:36
  with my buddy Ryan Hoppe. Went to Hersey High
• 2:01:38
  School, worked in some Chicago radio, then Cleveland,
• 2:01:41
  and you're in Tampa now. Tampa's the best, man.
• 2:01:44
  The thing I noticed, the biggest difference between
• 2:01:46
  Illinois and Florida is I was going 85 on the
• 2:01:50
  highway, and some guy was tailgating me. If you
• 2:01:53
  go 75 in Florida, you're going too fast. Why?
• 2:01:56
  Because of old people? And I think it's just
• 2:01:58
  a very chill environment because the sun's out
• 2:02:01
  and it's just so different here. It's crazy.
• 2:02:04
  Gummies. So the bugs are bigger in Florida, right?
• 2:02:08
  Oh yeah. If you live in any nice house or even
• 2:02:11
  a bad house, you're going to have roaches. They're
• 2:02:13
  very big. Oh, and snakes in the grass. Snakes
• 2:02:17
  and lizards. It's crazy. Well, this is really
• 2:02:21
  disturbing. More proof that nature is pretty
• 2:02:24
  messed up. Two researchers analyzed 161 spider
• 2:02:28
  webs and and found out that spiders will catch
• 2:02:32
  fireflies, but not eat them, as long as they're
• 2:02:35
  still glowing. See, because the female makes
• 2:02:39
  the web, right? So the glow will still be going,
• 2:02:44
  so other fireflies will see the glow and be attracted
• 2:02:46
  to it, and they'll get caught in the web, and
• 2:02:48
  pretty soon they'll have this whole big supply.
• 2:02:50
  And that's how some spiders attract mates, because
• 2:02:54
  they've got the table set for them. Just like
• 2:02:56
  1950s Donna Reed show. Wow. So then as soon as
• 2:03:02
  the trapped firefly loses its glow, they're instantly
• 2:03:10
  eaten. So how'd you like to be... It sounds like
• 2:03:12
  a horror movie. It sounds like a Vincent Price
• 2:03:14
  thing. As long as you continue to glow, you will
• 2:03:18
  live. The minute your light goes out. Bugs are
• 2:03:23
  creepy. Now I hate them even more. Actually,
• 2:03:25
  I'm not overly scared of bugs. When I live in
• 2:03:27
  a downtown high -rise... There were spiders,
• 2:03:29
  like 5 ,000 spiders, usually little ones, all
• 2:03:33
  over the windows up high because they just crawl
• 2:03:35
  up there. And my daughter, when she was like
• 2:03:37
  two, would go, itchy, bitty spider. Now we get
• 2:03:41
  like a tiny little spider in her room, and she
• 2:03:44
  screams bloody murder. My wife called me to the
• 2:03:47
  basement the other day. There's a huge, huge
• 2:03:49
  spider down here. And I go, what's huge to you?
• 2:03:53
  And she goes, three inches. And I said, oh, really?
• 2:03:57
  All right. In spite of it all, we're going to
• 2:04:02
  do the senseless survey coming up for National
• 2:04:04
  Radio Day. Can't build a radio without electronic
• 2:04:08
  parts, so we're going to call an electronics
• 2:04:10
  store. Stand by, coming up. The hour will be
• 2:04:29
  right back. You probably had Taco Bell before.
• 2:04:31
  You need to be affectionate, and you can see
• 2:04:40
  that with Farah, Michelle as well. They do a
• 2:04:44
  lot of touching, kissing, even fisting. That's
• 2:04:54
  what real women need. Stop cussing. and it looks
• 2:05:00
  like you went and got a on the ipad screen whatever
• 2:05:04
  the case might be in your hand in a sock you
• 2:05:06
  know whatever like thank you but also i would
• 2:05:09
  love to be getting railed but use bucket loads
• 2:05:13
  of lube if you think you have enough lube double
• 2:05:15
  it as a reminder if you don't feel like listening
• 2:05:18
  to this next one you can skip over it but ryan
• 2:05:20
  hoppy of hoppy hour takes pride in his selection
• 2:05:23
  so stick around folks oh yeah let me press these
• 2:05:26
  buttons off i've never i sounded a better let's
• 2:10:19
  get back And you're listening to my good pal
• 2:10:36
  and radio legend, Ryan on the Hoppy Hour. Secretly
• 2:10:45
  listened to, and that includes you, Mike Colta.
• 2:10:49
  Stalking my pages. Whatever. Anyway, back to
• 2:10:52
  Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy. This is a Hoppy,
• 2:12:36
  Hoppy Saturday. And ensure everybody calls if
• 2:13:06
  you're snappy. 10 minutes, let's get to it. Prosecutors
• 2:13:54
  and law enforcement stressed that the law firm
• 2:13:56
  had no idea what their receptionist, Heather
• 2:13:58
  Ann Texter, was doing. Yeah, this woman's in
• 2:14:01
  a lot of trouble. But they say her actions had
• 2:14:04
  real consequences, with some of these victims
• 2:14:06
  ending up behind bars. But the reason we're here
• 2:14:09
  today is because we believe that there are other
• 2:14:13
  victims out there. Indiana State Police explained
• 2:14:15
  that the law firm Weiss, Smidgel and Hires. That
• 2:14:18
  sounds like a lawyer's, doesn't it? Specializes
• 2:14:20
  in expungements, helping to clear criminal records
• 2:14:22
  and restoring driving privileges. But investigators
• 2:14:25
  say 41 -year -old Heather Ann Tech. Oh, yeah,
• 2:14:28
  I can fix her. She's a hot -ass milf. A former
• 2:14:32
  receptionist at the firm was allegedly intercepting
• 2:14:36
  some would -be clients, taking their money and
• 2:14:38
  making them believe their expungement cases were
• 2:14:41
  moving through the courts. I never get these
• 2:14:43
  people that do these crimes. Like, oh, yeah,
• 2:14:46
  you're totally not going to get caught. She was
• 2:14:48
  working the front window. Most often than not,
• 2:14:51
  anybody who walked through the door, she was
• 2:14:53
  the first point of contact. That's not good.
• 2:14:56
  Investigators are aware of at least 40 victims
• 2:14:58
  who were charged up to $2 ,000 per case. Yeah,
• 2:15:01
  like how are you going to do this crime and not
• 2:15:03
  think you're going to get caught? Court records
• 2:15:06
  show one client paid more than $1 ,600 for an
• 2:15:08
  expungement. When the client received documents
• 2:15:10
  that appeared to show his record had been expunged,
• 2:15:13
  investigators discovered the court had no record
• 2:15:15
  of the case. Oh yeah, can you imagine being her
• 2:15:18
  and finding out that you're going to get caught?
• 2:15:21
  And a judge said the signature on the paperwork
• 2:15:23
  wasn't his. What a moron. Just an absolute sociopath.
• 2:15:30
  Investigators allege Texter also diverted payments
• 2:15:32
  through personal PayPal. They haven't said this
• 2:15:35
  yet, but she's facing 42 felony counts. That's
• 2:15:38
  a lot. Cash app accounts, while repeatedly telling
• 2:15:42
  clients their cases were delayed. Police said
• 2:15:44
  Texter worked at the firm from 2017 to 2023,
• 2:15:48
  but reiterated several times that the law firm's
• 2:15:51
  attorneys were... unaware of the alleged scheme.
• 2:15:53
  What a moron. Is she going to get out of time?
• 2:16:07
  I'm with John Gosselin, father of the year. I'm
• 2:16:09
  being serious. John Gosselin threatening legal
• 2:16:30
  action against ex -wife Kate. Man, Kate is just
• 2:16:33
  an evil woman and it feels like it goes underrated
• 2:16:36
  because she's a woman so she gets defended. It
• 2:16:39
  feels like if a man did everything she did. Oh
• 2:16:42
  no. After she dismissed the strange son Colin's
• 2:16:49
  abuse allegations by saying, quote, I rational
• 2:16:52
  logical people or anyone who has dealt with mental
• 2:16:55
  illness understands what's going on here. Yeah!
• 2:16:58
  And where did he get that mental illness from?
• 2:17:02
  You! She is the Karen. She's the Karen meme.
• 2:17:05
  She is the face of the Karen meme. Yeah, she's
• 2:17:09
  really the woman that brought it up. Like, hello.
• 2:17:13
  In a statement to E! Hello! E .T. John goes scorched
• 2:17:16
  earth. Yeah, he's defending his son because this
• 2:17:19
  dirty, rotten woman almost ruined his life. His
• 2:17:24
  son, Colin. I know it sucks not having a good
• 2:17:27
  mom, but just be grateful for John because Kate
• 2:17:29
  is an embarrassment to women. And quote, consider
• 2:17:33
  this fair warning. The days of using mental health
• 2:17:36
  to discredit and silence my son are over. Yeah,
• 2:17:38
  this isn't 2012. We're all open about being mentally
• 2:17:41
  ill and sociopathic losers like Kate Gosselin
• 2:17:45
  are not honest about it. If you continue to falsely
• 2:17:49
  label my son Colin as mentally ill, you will
• 2:17:52
  be held accountable. Oh, yeah. Cosson just should
• 2:17:55
  have never been a mom. Just a dirty, rotten moron.
• 2:17:59
  That narrative is proven categorically untrue.
• 2:18:02
  Yeah, I'm glad she's getting brought down. She's
• 2:18:04
  just a pig. Feeding them the story that I, you
• 2:18:07
  know, was... Here's Colin. ...hycotic and all
• 2:18:10
  that. She's going to say that I was troubled.
• 2:18:12
  I sat down exclusively with Cosson. Colin just
• 2:18:15
  over two weeks ago while promoting his man. He's
• 2:18:18
  a good looking kid. Bombshell new memoir out
• 2:18:21
  now. She had yanked on my ear so hard that it
• 2:18:23
  was purple. What a pig. I was kept in essentially
• 2:18:28
  what was a jail cell. It was a room and not even
• 2:18:31
  in the finished part of our basement. Yeah. You
• 2:18:33
  know, Kate's freaking out. And to any of the
• 2:18:37
  women that are defending her, just join in it.
• 2:18:39
  Just join the Lindsay Clancy club. You're crazy.
• 2:18:43
  Put back there like an item, like an animal.
• 2:18:44
  It's always tough to go through personal stuff
• 2:18:47
  in a public setting. It's hard even though you
• 2:18:51
  set a family, so it wasn't like you were kidnapped
• 2:18:53
  and forced to go on TV. No one forced you to
• 2:18:56
  do it. Take some account of it. And what doesn't
• 2:18:59
  kill you makes you stronger. Eightfold that I
• 2:19:03
  have a good mom, unlike this moron. the first
• 2:19:08
  time kate publicly blasted claims about her son's
• 2:19:11
  mental health at 11 years old colin was institutionalized
• 2:19:14
  by his mom for more than two years after she
• 2:19:17
  said it was medically necessary due to his special
• 2:19:20
  needs each unique child needs he just had a terrible
• 2:19:27
  dirty rotten broad of a mom like you ellen degeneres
• 2:19:37
  admits she misses her show in a rare tv appearance
• 2:19:39
  yeah maybe if you were nicer to people and you
• 2:19:43
  weren't such a sociopathic loser you might have
• 2:19:45
  never lost a job but narcissistic sociopaths
• 2:19:48
  like you never take accountability so it's everyone
• 2:19:51
  else's fault for not getting your greatness former
• 2:19:56
  Ellen DeGeneres show host who moved to the UK
• 2:19:58
  with her wife Portia de Rossi back in 2024 two
• 2:20:02
  years after ending her talk show confesses in
• 2:20:04
  an interview that she wishes she was still on
• 2:20:06
  TV yeah all you had to do was be nice enough
• 2:20:09
  to people you never would have lost the job you're
• 2:20:13
  a terrible person everyone knows that frankly
• 2:20:17
  an embarrassment to women an embarrassment to
• 2:20:21
  the lgbtq plus community ellen says on the graham
• 2:20:27
  norton shows october 16th yeah every washed up
• 2:20:29
  heck goes on the graham norton show episode per
• 2:20:33
  people i've nothing really going on and yeah
• 2:20:36
  no one wants to work with you and frankly it
• 2:20:38
  was a little sketchy how you used to call data
• 2:20:41
  your best friend and then during the case you
• 2:20:44
  left america and claimed us because of the way
• 2:20:46
  the country was but it really wasn't I really
• 2:20:48
  miss being on TV. I miss a lot about it. Yeah,
• 2:20:52
  because sociopaths love opinions, laughing with
• 2:20:57
  the writers and the audience. Oh, yeah. All the
• 2:20:59
  writers were laughing. Or wait, no, they were
• 2:21:01
  crying. I think about doing stuff here. The 68
• 2:21:06
  -year -old goes on to... Yeah, she looks okay
• 2:21:08
  for 68, because evil never ages. Joke that the
• 2:21:12
  variety of programs on British television make
• 2:21:14
  her think it wouldn't be difficult for her to
• 2:21:16
  find a gig back on TV. Whatever. I think it is
• 2:21:19
  pretty easy to get on TV here. Yeah, but who's
• 2:21:22
  going to want to watch you when we all know you're
• 2:21:24
  evil? He says, you have a pottery show, you have
• 2:21:27
  a sewing show, and you even have a show about
• 2:21:29
  people watching TV shows. And the fact that you
• 2:21:32
  get a job shows how much of a loser you are.
• 2:21:36
  And the comedian has previously... Yeah, she
• 2:21:38
  ain't a comedian anymore. It's not 1995. ...pondered
• 2:21:41
  the idea of hosting a talk show across the pond,
• 2:21:44
  though she questions whether or not the format
• 2:21:46
  would still work in this day and age. It probably
• 2:21:48
  wouldn't. Just stop. Oh, the podcast, but dirty,
• 2:21:50
  rotten morons like you aren't smart enough. And
• 2:21:53
  speaking of this moron, my God is Chuck Lorre.
• 2:21:59
  Anna Faris speaks out after mom creator Chuck
• 2:22:02
  Lorre's recent admission that he felt vindicated
• 2:22:04
  after she left the show. Yeah, Chuck Lorre, just
• 2:22:08
  an absolute who makes sitcoms to the lowest common
• 2:22:12
  denominator. I mean, it wasn't bad, but it's
• 2:22:18
  just low -hanging fruit. Oh, yes. Yes. In a statement
• 2:22:28
  posted to Instagram October 15th, Ana appears
• 2:22:31
  to react to Lori's comments, which he makes in
• 2:22:34
  his new memoir sitcom, writing, Yikes. Yes, I
• 2:22:37
  read a few things. I really didn't see that coming.
• 2:22:40
  Of course it hurts. Yeah, Chuck Lorre, she's
• 2:22:42
  your typical rich boomer that thinks he's better
• 2:22:46
  than everybody and is honestly a douche. Ferris
• 2:22:49
  adds, Chuck gave me a job I loved and for seven
• 2:22:52
  years I never took a day of it for granted. I'm
• 2:22:55
  proud of what we made together, and nothing changes
• 2:22:57
  how grateful I am for those people and those
• 2:23:00
  years. Good job being classy. Because I'll say
• 2:23:04
  it for you, he's a... Anna also shares an update
• 2:23:09
  on her health and career, telling followers,
• 2:23:12
  I've been sober for a year and a half. I was
• 2:23:14
  on a show about recovery, and then I lived it.
• 2:23:17
  Yeah, you kind of figured out how to do it. What
• 2:23:20
  I like about Anna Faris is that she's naturally
• 2:23:22
  aging. She's just a beautiful woman. And Chuck
• 2:23:26
  Lorre is proud. Probably jealous of his first
• 2:23:29
  child because he's a loser. Now I'm healthy,
• 2:23:32
  I'm working, and I'm happier than I've been in
• 2:23:34
  a long time. I mean, I never liked that show.
• 2:23:36
  My mom liked it, obviously, because the word
• 2:23:38
  mom is in it. If anyone reading this is where
• 2:23:41
  I was, I hope that's useful. It gets better.
• 2:23:44
  I'm proof. Yeah, you got this baby down. He admitted
• 2:23:50
  in the memoir that he wasn't sold on casting
• 2:23:53
  the House Bunny actress in the CBS comedy. She
• 2:23:56
  probably wasn't sold on working with a douche
• 2:23:58
  like you. Although she was the studio's first
• 2:24:01
  choice for recovering alcoholic, Christy Plunkett.
• 2:24:04
  I never understood the show, but. After Ferris
• 2:24:06
  was cast, Allison Janney joined the series as
• 2:24:09
  her mother, Bonnie Plunkett. Yeah, it's pretty
• 2:24:10
  freaking hot. With the two playing opposite each
• 2:24:13
  other from 2013 to 2020. All right, so there
• 2:24:16
  you go. That's show mom. And Chuck Lorre is a
• 2:24:19
  douche. Alexa, do you think Chuck Lorre's a egotistical
• 2:24:23
  douche? Chuck Lorre's definitely got that classic
• 2:24:30
  Hollywood ego thing going on. He's been open
• 2:24:32
  about his struggles with anger and anxiety, and
• 2:24:34
  his memoir sitcom shows he's not afraid to stir
• 2:24:37
  the pot. Hollywood star and America's favorite
• 2:24:47
  raunchy Brit. Yeah! I liked Russell Brand back
• 2:24:50
  in the day, but there was something off about
• 2:24:52
  him. Just really bad vibes. And then what did
• 2:24:56
  he do? Oh, hey, that's when all the rape allegations
• 2:24:59
  came out. Shut up. You little bitch. Now arriving
• 2:25:05
  at a UK courthouse charged with multiple counts
• 2:25:08
  of rape and sexual assault. Yeah, he just seems
• 2:25:11
  like someone who would do it. Just kind of bad
• 2:25:13
  vibes in the club. You don't look at Chuck Lorre
• 2:25:16
  and go, oh, he seems like a good guy. He's pleaded
• 2:25:19
  not guilty to all charges. I feel blessed. I
• 2:25:22
  feel, of course, sad and hopeful. I'm sad because
• 2:25:29
  I did a lot of bad things because of my dose.
• 2:25:32
  The process will lead to... good outcomes for
• 2:25:35
  everybody involved. Yeah, what about the women
• 2:25:38
  that you raped? Do you feel like they had good
• 2:25:39
  outcomes? A good outcome would be you getting
• 2:25:42
  prisoned. But you're the rich and the lick! So
• 2:25:45
  y 'all probably get defended. The trial got underway
• 2:25:48
  this week. British prosecutors telling a jury
• 2:25:50
  that Brand is a ruthless and manipulative predator.
• 2:25:53
  Oh yeah, he's the definition of a sociopath.
• 2:25:56
  Who laughed at women when they refused to agree
• 2:25:59
  to his sexual demands. Yeah, you know, he's demonic.
• 2:26:02
  He's just got those When he gets inside, he's
• 2:26:06
  got a ritual that he seems to be doing every
• 2:26:08
  single day. He goes into the dock, he gets down
• 2:26:10
  on one knee, and he prays before any of the proceedings
• 2:26:13
  start. Oh yeah, dear God, help me get away with
• 2:26:16
  rape! Even though the Catholic Church already
• 2:26:18
  does that for their priests. Brand has consistently
• 2:26:20
  denied all allegations, speaking out on social
• 2:26:23
  media. All I can say is I've never raped anyone,
• 2:26:26
  I've never sexually assaulted anyone, and there
• 2:26:29
  will be a trial, and either that trial will show
• 2:26:31
  that I'm telling the truth. Yeah, we'll see about
• 2:26:33
  that, bud. Brand faces three counts of rape and
• 2:26:39
  three counts of sexual assault and one count
• 2:26:41
  of indecent assault from six different women
• 2:26:50
  between 1999 to 2009. And those are just the
• 2:26:53
  women that came forward. That means you have
• 2:26:55
  no gay. Justice's career was taking off. All
• 2:27:00
  right, and this segment will take off. You're
• 2:27:02
  a bitch. You're a loser, Russell Brand. Yeah,
• 2:27:05
  you have some talent. But you will always be
• 2:27:08
  remembered as a douche. Hey, man. Sean Diddy
• 2:27:18
  Combs has been relocated. Shortly after multiple
• 2:27:20
  outlets reported the rapper sustained a head
• 2:27:23
  injury amid his stay. Oh, yeah. You know, he
• 2:27:26
  probably from giving head. A federal correctional
• 2:27:33
  institution for Dick's prison in New Jersey.
• 2:27:36
  Oh, yeah. A bureau of prisons tells E! News October
• 2:27:39
  16th that he was relocated to an FIC in Allenwood,
• 2:27:43
  Pennsylvania. Yeah. You know, there was way too
• 2:27:46
  many stories about him getting away with all
• 2:27:48
  the stuff that was happening in prison. Combs'
• 2:27:53
  rep says in a statement to E! News, his transfer
• 2:27:56
  from one low -security facility to another is
• 2:27:59
  an important distinction, and while we cannot
• 2:28:02
  speak to the BOP's specific reasons for the move,
• 2:28:05
  it is consistent with a decision made with safety
• 2:28:08
  and security in mind. All right, there you freaking
• 2:28:11
  go. Ah, there's three minutes left. I should
• 2:28:24
  just, for three minutes, go do -do -do -do -do
• 2:28:27
  -do -do. Let me see here. I go over three hours
• 2:28:37
  and I can't do the transcript. I like seeing
• 2:28:40
  what Chad GBT says when he kisses my ass. All
• 2:28:43
  right, let's do TMZ real quick. TMZ DC guys got
• 2:28:53
  Abdul El -Sayed. I got to say he's kind of cheesy.
• 2:28:57
  Yeah, he is. Our TMZ DC guys, Jacob and Charlie,
• 2:29:01
  rode down with Michigan senatorial candidate.
• 2:29:04
  It's weird. This Charlie guy has like a family
• 2:29:06
  and he's out in TMZ DC all the time. Abdul El
• 2:29:10
  -Sayed over some spicy popcorn. Brewing down
• 2:29:12
  means you're all having a good time. All I heard
• 2:29:16
  Jacob do was cough. I hate what I'm about to
• 2:29:18
  do right now. But it's not actually a hot day.
• 2:29:25
  Hilarious! The Bird Mind, the Kelly Clarkson
• 2:29:31
  drama is now $15 million. Oh yeah, it's a rich
• 2:29:37
  loser will die. They just want to keep this going.
• 2:29:40
  They didn't start this, so you and Jack... Kelly
• 2:29:43
  Clarkson's a dirty rotten brat. Charles each
• 2:29:45
  took a side. Kelly Clarkson is so. Sexist women
• 2:29:54
  are defending her because she's a woman. Kelly
• 2:29:56
  Clarkson was done wrong. Charles is whipped.
• 2:30:00
  Our voters sided with Kelly Clarkson. Stop, it
• 2:30:06
  is not a vote for Kelly. It is a vote for Charles
• 2:30:08
  over Harvard. Of course, if Charles said it.
• 2:30:11
  Cleck was on Subway Takes and he says. You should
• 2:30:17
  never be photographed eating or smoking. Biz
• 2:30:19
  hasn't served me very well. But that's, that's
• 2:30:21
  mean. for two hours, two hours and 50 minutes.

  Jack, the Instagram account. Right back. You
• 2:34:03
  probably had touching. It's like you went and
• 2:34:34
  got a b**** in a sock, you know, whatever. Like,
• 2:34:40
  thank you. But also, I would love to be getting
• 2:34:44
  railed, but... Use bucket loads of lube. If you
• 2:34:47
  think you have enough lube, double it. As a reminder,

  This is Ryan Hoppy on by searching up Hammer,
• 2:42:10
  AJ, MME, and Hank. So, like, they are different.
• 2:42:19
  Well, this is Henry Oaks, but my buddies may
• 2:42:24
  have known me as Hammer and Hank. I was labeled
• 2:42:26
  as slow when I started school. Associated to
• 2:42:36
  Grisco Bay Area as an on -air personality. So,
• 2:42:41
  yes, I am different. People, this party's dumb.

  a 2000s, 1990s morning show in a podcast format.
• 2:58:06
  You never know what I might talk about. One minute
• 2:58:08
  I could be talking about the latest with the
• 2:58:11
  NFL side chicks, and the very next second I could
• 2:58:14
  be playing an unknown song from the 2000s. My
• 2:58:17
  show is an in -studio circus for the age group
• 2:58:22
